Chapter 12 Old Lady Qin

Chapter 12

Back at the gate of the Qin Mansion, Qin Sheng was the first to jump out of the carriage, "Brother, go back, I'll go horse riding on the outskirts of the city!" With that, he went to the stables in a hurry.

"Go ahead."

Qin Sanlang touched his nose. Qin Xiaoliu was angry and didn't want to talk to him.

Not long after, they saw Qin Sheng coming out on a handsome white horse. He greeted them on the horse and then roared away.

Qin Heng looked at his younger brother's vigorous riding posture and knew in his heart that he was holding his breath. He might as well go to the outskirts of the city to ride his horse and take a break.

"I'm going to see my mother. Can we come together?" Qin Heng asked Qin Sanlang.

Qin Sanlang thought for a while and realized that his eldest brother must have gone to talk to his mother about the Lu family. His wife must also be with his mother at this moment, so he stepped forward and hooked his eldest brother's shoulder, "Let's come together. I just want to have a meal with my mother." ”

So the brothers went to Mrs. Qin's Qingfengyuan together.

As soon as the two brothers sat down and drank some water to moisten their throats, they saw their mother and the pregnant Nie Yunniang coming out of the bedroom one after another, supported by the maid, and then helped them sit down again.

His mother's face was pale and sick, and her voice was quite loud, "What did the Lu family say?"

Seeing the concern in his mother's eyes, Qin Heng was obviously very concerned about this matter, so he told her the whole process of his meeting with Lu Desheng and his wife in detail.

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Qin nodded, "So, the Lu family is quite reasonable and did not blame all the things on Ah Sheng."

Nie Yunniang on the side curled her lips when she heard this, "Is this a normal reaction that normal people should have?"

"You can't say that. Ah Sheng is also responsible for causing this embarrassing situation." Mrs. Qin sighed. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a big deal or not, as long as the unmarried man and woman don't mind. They are from a family of military commanders and are used to life and death, so they really don't care about these things.

When the incident first happened, Ah Sheng came home and said that they didn't care and didn't even take it to heart. It wasn't until the Zhao family came to the door early this morning to tell them about breaking off the engagement that they realized that the matter was serious.

Although they had always said they didn't mind, the Zhao family was very determined to break off the engagement, so they had no choice but to agree to break off the engagement. After all, getting married is about getting married, not enmity. Since the other party is unwilling, they will not be happy if they are forced to be together.

The Zhao family's actions chilled them. Speaking of which, the Lu family's reputation in Chang'an was not good, but unexpectedly they were quite easy to deal with.

"This is called rumors being untrustworthy. Take the Zhao family for example. Their reputation and reputation are much better than the Lu family's, right? But look at what they do?" Nie Yunniang really hates the Zhao family. They all saw that the Zhao family insisted on breaking off the engagement today. The falling into the water was just an excuse. The Zhao family must have taken a liking to the eldest son of the Xie family and wanted to use the falling into the water to take advantage of him.

Neither Mrs. Qin nor Qin Heng's mother and son spoke, apparently acquiescing to her statement.

Nie Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Mom, eldest brother, husband, do we really want Asheng to marry Miss Lu Er?"

Mrs. Qin: "This happened by mistake. Ah Sheng is also responsible. Our family must shoulder the responsibility. We cannot pretend that nothing happened."

"However, the reputation of the Lu family is not good." Nie Yunniang said after hesitation.

Not only is it bad, this Lu family, from top to bottom, all the official ladies in Chang'an City shake their heads when they mention this family. Lu Desheng was often called a sycophant behind his back.

On the other hand, Lu Songli, the second young lady of the Lu family, is the only one in their family who has barely received positive reviews from everyone. She is timid and quiet, and is not in the same path as the Lu family.

Timid and quiet? Qin Heng thought of the scene where Miss Lu Er and her younger brother stared at each other just now. Those smart eyes made him feel that the rumors were not credible.

The three people present understood the unfinished words in Nie Yunniang's words. The Qin family has been loyal and loyal for generations. They have been guarding the territory of Dali for hundreds of years. They take the common people of the world as their own responsibility and are deeply loved by the people. The name of the Qin family is due to how many sons of the Qin family sacrificed their lives with their blood, and how many sons died on the battlefield every time there was a war.

If he really gets married to the Lu family, the reputation of the Qin family may be affected.

Qin Heng explained, "Although Lu Desheng has a very bad reputation in the officialdom, he did not bring harm to the people. The people he impeached were all officials. It is difficult to talk about officialdom." Who knows what is going on inside. He had investigated and found that strangely enough, Lu Desheng's reputation among the common people was mixed, not denounced. He later understood that after all, there were always some corrupt officials among the officials Lu Desheng brought down. Every time, the victims would applaud in their hearts. Naturally, these people could not hate Lu Desheng, but in the face of a large number of voices criticizing Lu Desheng , these people also dare not speak out.

Qin Sanlang also laughed and said, "Yun Niang, don't look at those ministers pointing and cursing at Lu Desheng. You don't know why you envy him."

Hearing what her eldest uncle and her husband said, Nie Yunniang felt relieved, and then asked about another doubt in her heart, "Mom, I feel very puzzled. The marriage between Xie and Lu's family is still going on. What do you think about the Zhao family's marriage?" How can you be sure that the Xie family will marry Zhao Yutan? If the Lu family doesn't agree to break off the engagement, won't Zhao Yutan have to become a child? "

Mrs. Qin said calmly, "That was also the Zhao family's choice. The marriage between the Xie and Lu families is not so easy to cancel, at least the initiative is not in the hands of the Xie family."

Nie Yunniang looked curious.

Mrs. Qin explained softly, "Your mother's family is from Luoyang, so you got married late. The little girl of the Lu family saved the life of the eldest husband of the Xie family when she was a child. This marriage was also arranged by the late Mr. Xie back then."

"So that's it." Nie Yunniang suddenly realized.

"Forget it, don't mention the Zhao family, they are irrelevant in the future." Madam Qin turned to ask Qin Heng, "In your opinion, is it possible that the Lu family will agree to marry their little girl to A Sheng?"

Qin Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "This... is hard to say."

Madam Qin sighed, "I have seen the eldest son of the Xie family, and A Sheng is indeed not as good as him. With such a good example, it is normal for the Lu family to look down on A Sheng."

"Mother, you can't say that, they each have their own merits." Qin Heng's words were not just words of comfort, but he really thought his A Sheng was very good.

Qin Sanlang suddenly remembered the conversation of the old ladies just now, and immediately agreed with a smile, "Mom, big brother is right, Xie Zhan has his merits, and our A Sheng is not bad either."

Mrs. Qin said, "I now hope that the Lu family can agree to marry their little girl. You can take care of A Sheng and let him learn how to love his wife."

Qin Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, it's not appropriate for me to do this, why not give it to the third brother?" And why does his mother like the second daughter of the Lu family so much? This has not been arranged before it was even started.

Mrs. Qin waved her hand, "I don't care about this, you two brothers are responsible for teaching A Sheng well."

"Mom, I will be jealous if you do this. You are protecting the sixth brother's wife before she comes in?" Nie Yunniang pretended to be angry.

"Haha, don't worry, all of you daughters-in-law are protecting her."

"It seems that mother really likes the second daughter of the Lu family?" Nie Yunniang was a little puzzled. Logically, her mother-in-law should not have seen the second daughter of the Lu family very much, so why does she like her so much?

Mrs. Qin smiled but did not deny it. Can she say that she did everything from the heart? The Zhao family insisted on breaking off the engagement, and she felt regretful, but not strongly, and she could even be said to be secretly relieved.

It is said that Zhao Yutan is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle and quiet temperament. It is more than enough to match their little six. But for some reason, as the wedding date got closer, her heart became more and more panicked. She thought that she and little six were probably not suitable. Later, the object of the marriage was changed to the little girl of the Lu family, and her heart was inexplicably at peace. She even had a good dream during her nap at noon.
