Chapter 19 Qin Family Response

Chapter 19

Not long after the morning dynasty ended, news spread that Zhao Wenkuan of the Zhao family and two other powerful officials of the Zhao family had been demoted and reprimanded by the emperor.

When the news reached the Qin family, it was almost time for lunch.

The masters of the Qin family currently staying in Chang'an City mainly include Mrs. Qin, Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and his wife, and several children of Qin Sheng and the youngest generation. At this time, General Qin, the Marquis of Pingxi, was guarding the border. The second and fourth sons of the Qin family were guarding the border with their families. The fifth son of the Qin family died on the battlefield two years ago. And their brothers and sisters do not have the same biological mother. Only the eldest son Qin Heng and the youngest son Qin Sheng were born to Mrs. Qin. Qin Sheng was the old son of General Qin.

Mrs. Qin's health had not been good since she was a child. She and General Qin were childhood sweethearts, and they got married naturally after they got hairpins.

Because Mrs. Qin's frail and sick body could not bear the hardships of the border, after the marriage, Mrs. Qin took the initiative to give him a concubine, and Old General Qin took him to the border to take care of his life there. The second, third, fourth, fifth and other daughters of the Qin family were all born to the other party. Qin Heng and Qin Sheng both call each other second mother and respect her very much.

Although they are not siblings of the same mother, the relationship between their brothers is very good. Xu is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so the brothers don't fight like black-eyed chickens like other families.

Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang were also at the border before. However, this year, Mrs. Qin was seriously ill. General Qin asked his eldest son to request an order to return to Beijing to serve his mother, so he came back. Qin Sanlang and his wife were sent back by General Qin two months ago. The reason was that Nie Yunniang was pregnant again, so they were asked to go back to Chang'an City to rest and recuperate, and to serve their aunt's mother.

Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang came out of the study room in the front yard and walked to Qingfengyuan together.

When the Qin family eats, if no one goes out and is in the house, they eat together, which makes it look lively.

The two of them were walking while talking, and halfway along the way, they were chased away by Qin Sheng from behind.

Qin Heng looked at him, who was dressed in a handsome uniform and sweaty, and asked casually, "You just came back from outside? Where have you been?"

Qin Sheng said lightly, "I didn't go anywhere. Can we have dinner at Mom's place? I'm a little hungry."

Qin Sanlang, who was silent on the side, raised his eyebrows. Something was wrong with Xiaoliu. There was something wrong.

When the three brothers arrived at Qingfengyuan, Nie Yunniang directed the servants to start serving food.

When the brothers are together, they inevitably talk about the major events that happened this morning. In their military general's house, the rules are relatively loose, and there is no such rule as not eating, talking, or sleeping. Of course, they will be more careful outside, but they are much more casual at home.

After hearing this, Nie Yunniang had the strongest reaction. After hearing this, she couldn't help but gasp, "No, is this Lu Desheng so scary?"

Mrs. Qin nodded, "This person is indeed powerful."

In just one morning, Lu Desheng single-handedly brought down three powerful officials from the Zhao family, not to mention that Zhao Wenkuan was the minister of Honglu and a third-rank official! In addition, the Minister of Honglu Temple was originally the top minister of humerus among the Dajiu Qing. Nowadays, the relationship between Dali and foreign tribes outside the border is very tense, so the Minister of Honglu Temple, who is in charge of guest meetings and other matters, is still very important. Although he was not removed from his position, he was lowered by half a level and retained, which is already very powerful. You must know that the chief officer of the Yushitai, Yushi Dafu, is only from the third rank, and Lu Desheng is just a censor in the Yushitai.

This battle not only damaged the Zhao family's muscles and bones, but at least it took a year or two to recover.

Qin Sanlang said quietly, "Lu Desheng is simply in the emperor's heart."

Qin Sheng was in a good mood and gave his mother a piece of chicken leg, while he took a piece of chicken neck and chewed it with relish. Tsk, evil people must be punished by evil people. Now that I listen to it again, I still feel very happy. Why?

"Wait a minute, there are twists and turns in the marriage of Xie and Lu's family. Zhao Yutan is the culprit, but Ah Sheng is also helping him. If Ah Sheng hadn't saved the wrong person..." Nie Yunniang said worriedly, but before she could finish her words, He was interrupted by Qin Sheng.

"Third sister-in-law, if we don't know idioms, please don't use them randomly. Besides, I'm not the only one who saved the wrong person. Didn't Xie Zhan also recognize his fiancée?"

"It's not important. What I want to say is, do you think Lu Desheng will anger our Qin family because of this?" At this point, Nie Yunniang was very nervous.

"No." Her husband Qin Sanlang answered her question firmly. Lu Desheng is not a lunatic, and he keeps making enemies.

Nie Yunniang nodded, "Then I'll be relieved."

"Is the purpose of Lu Yushi impeaching the Zhao family to warn them and stop them from getting involved in the Xie Lu family's marriage?" Mrs. Qin was a little confused.

"No, on the contrary." Qin Heng also analyzed slowly: "Judging from Lu Desheng's actions to punish the Zhao family to death this morning, there must be something inside that we don't know about. I'm afraid the Xie family has already made a choice. , the Lu family noticed it, and then they struck hard at the Zhao family. "

"Boss, what do you mean, the Xie family and the Lu family revealed their intention to cancel their engagement?" Mrs. Qin asked.

"The possibility is very high."

"Wow, then doesn't our Asheng have a chance?" Nie Yunniang's voice could not conceal her excitement. If Miss Lu Er abandoned Xie Zhan and chose Asheng, she would laugh three times with her arms akimbo.

Mrs. Qin nodded, "Wait, Yushi Lu doesn't seem to be able to bear that anger."

Qin Heng also said, "Everything depends on how the Lu family decides." They had analyzed before that the initiative to cancel the marriage between the Xie and Lu families was not in the hands of the Xie family. The Xie family is a large aristocratic family, with many civil servants and literati. Literati have to have face, and reputation is above everything else. Anyone who wants to pursue a career in politics or want to make achievements in politics will not easily let himself be stained. The Xie family's proposal to cancel the engagement is a stain on Xie Zhan.

Qin Sheng: "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."

Qin Sheng's expression did not change during this meal. He was very relaxed from beginning to end. Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang saw all of this.

Qin Heng asked him, "Going to the suburbs to race horses again?"

Qin Sheng nodded, "Something?"

Qin Sanlang gave his eldest brother an inquiring look. This is related to his lifelong event. Do you think he didn't understand it from beginning to end, or had he already seen through the twists and turns during the period? Their father arranged for his elder brother and him to return to Chang'an for rest. In addition to their own affairs and having to withdraw from the border, there was another task, which was to train Xiaoliu, especially in terms of strategy. In terms of force, Qin Xiaoliu can basically crush him and his elder brother.

Qin Heng smiled and said, "Asheng is very smart." When he grows up, he will definitely surpass him as the eldest brother.

Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at his two brothers.

"What are you talking about?" What kind of riddle is this? Nie Yunniang asked in confusion, she always felt like she had missed something.

Qin Sanlang looked back at his wife. Well, the person who didn't understand from beginning to end is here.

"Yunniang, ignore them, come, eat meat." Mrs. Qin picked up a piece of good meat for her daughter-in-law. As for what the Qin family men said at the dinner table, she would listen if she could understand it, and she was too lazy to think about it if she didn't understand it.

After serving food to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin thought for a moment and served Qin Sheng a piece of chicken breast. She was very happy after listening to their analysis and decided to encourage her youngest son.

Qin Sheng looked at his mother in confusion. Didn't he just declare that he was full? Why did his mother still serve him food? Forget it. His mother loved him too much and always felt that he was not full. He should eat this piece of meat. Anyway, he could still eat more. Just treat it as a snack.

Mrs. Qin took the opportunity to educate her youngest son, "Ah Sheng, if you are lucky enough to marry the second daughter of the Lu family, you should be nice to her, okay?"

Cough cough - Qin Sheng was choked and kept coughing. He complained in his heart, dear mother, can you not say such a scary thing out of the blue? Then, should he eat the chicken in the bowl or not? He always felt like he was selling himself if he ate it.
