Chapter 41 Dragon Boat Festival(1/2)
Brother is indeed a polite and respectful title.
After all, Qin Tian is not the sister of Qin Shen's first mother, and she did not grow up in the same place, so it is common sense to call her brother.
The eldest brother needs to be closer, but Qin Tian is used to being called brother, and can't change it back.
Mrs. Qin said that because she wanted to get close to her, so Qin Tian of course smiled and agreed.
She didn't take this matter seriously, nor did she pay attention to Qin Shen's eyes on her.
It was getting late. Mrs. Qin said that it was getting dark and it would be inconvenient to leave the city. She wanted to keep Qin Tian in the house and not go back. Of course Qin Tian wanted to leave, but before she could speak, she heard her brother speak first.
.
"I'm also going back to Liefeng Shanfang today, so I can go with you."
Qin Tian didn't know why his brother came to Fucheng, but as soon as he heard that he could go back with him, all the fear in his heart disappeared.
Mrs. Qin never cared much about her son's affairs outside the home, so it was a pity to see both of them leaving, but she only asked them to bring them some things and let them go.
Qin Shen was still injured and could not ride a horse, so he rode in a carriage with Qin Tian.
Qin Tian came in his own carriage, but on the way back, he bumped into Qin Shen's carriage.
His carriage was wider, made of fine wood, and had a faint woody fragrance inside.
Qin Tian sat on his side and saw him closing his eyes to rest his mind. Just now he wanted to imitate him and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but then he suddenly asked a question.
"How was the Wei family's flower banquet?"
As soon as he asked, Qin Tian became interested.
"The decoration of the other courtyard is unique, and the flowers and plants used are all expensive. Among them are two pots of eighteen bachelors, which are pure white and moist. It is said that they came from the capital with the carriage of the eldest son of Wei a few days ago."
Such an exquisite flower banquet may not even be able to be written down in a book.
Qin Shen smiled and glanced at her.
Others went to flower banquets mostly for the purpose of getting married, discussing matters privately, or making friends, but she really went and admired the flowers wholeheartedly and came back.
However, Qin Tian remembered the person he saw in the forest and lost his way, and turned to Qin Shen.
"The young man took me out of the jungle and dropped me on the roadside. He didn't ask me my name. I didn't know who he was, so I just wanted to tell my wife that a young man helped me.
I can't even tell who it is."
Therefore, Qin Tian did not mention this matter to Mrs. Qin, but asked Qin Shen.
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"That man's fair skin looks a bit sickly, doesn't he?"
He hit the mark immediately, and Qin Tian quickly asked, "Brother, do you know this person?"
Of course Qin Shen knew him.
"Wei Yunce."
"ah?"
It turned out to be the protagonist who did not show up at this flower banquet, the eldest son of Huiyuan Wei in Chunwei.
Qin Tian had speculated about Wei Yunce, but firstly she thought that he was still ill and it was difficult to see people. Secondly, she also felt that the feeling that man gave her was quite different from the feeling Wei Miao gave her, and he did not look like a brother and sister from the same mother.
"What did he say to you?"
Qin Tian heard his brother ask another question and explained the details to him.
".I didn't say anything. It was just gossip. He didn't know who I was."
Qin Shen didn't take the words. He glanced at the little girl next to him and was silent for a moment.
"You just pretend you don't know me."
After saying that, Qin Shen added, "It's not an important person."
"in this way."
Qin Tian did not expect that his brother-in-law's evaluation of the eldest son of Wei did not seem to be very high.
However, she had no intention of clinging to him, so it didn't matter whether she knew him or not.
However, Fu Wen, who was accompanying him outside, was puzzled by something.
In the afternoon today, the young master suddenly said that he was going back to the house and asked Lian Zhou to prepare new tea by the seaside. Fu Wen thought there was something urgent. However, the young master just went back to the house, drank a cup of tea with his wife, and brought
The girl returned to Liefeng Mountain House.
So, what is the important matter for the young master to travel back and forth this time?
Fu Wen fell into deep thought as he listened to the girl's tinkling voice in the car behind and the young master's patient and gentle response.

Beijing.
The memorial was pushed away and fell to the floor under the huge momentum.
In the tall and spacious palace, the sunlight could only shine into the corners, and the coldness spread like a storm blowing up the ice and snow, and the servants knelt on the ground.
The bright yellow brocade robe on the figure standing high on Danxi emits a deep light like a black cloud.
"Are they going to rebel against me?!"
No one in the palace dared to speak, even the two courtiers standing in front of the palace held their breath and concentrated.
After a long while, someone said something.
"Xing Landong can no longer suppress these people. In the end, it is up to His Majesty to make a decision."
After one person finished speaking, he glanced at the person standing by.
The other man tightened his grip and opened his mouth.
"In the final analysis, Xing Landong has no military power in his hands. Only government soldiers cannot subdue those anti-people. It is difficult to say that the military households in the local guard station can completely separate themselves from the local anti-people. Your Majesty, if you want to govern the people, you must first control the troops."
The emperor on Danxi was silent for a moment and glanced at the two people below.
The man who spoke first took a step forward and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go and prepare troops."
These words echoed in the empty hall.
The emperor didn't respond for a while. After a while, he suddenly turned around and left.
A voice that was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger came over.
"Don't worry me anymore."
After leaving the main hall, the warm wind blew the two of them soothed.
The round-faced middle-aged man who spoke first stroked his beard and glanced at the long-faced man next to him.
"Master Xingsheng, this time it is really as he wished. I think the queen is also in the harem, which makes him happy."
Xingsheng Hou Lou Chuntai raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's not easy for the Queen to be in the harem. As an elder brother, I have to do my best to share the worries."
But he also looked at the round-faced man, "Dou Shangshu is willing to build a bridge for Lou and share the worries of the emperor and empress. The matter of joining the cabinet is already in sight."
When Dou Shangshu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Just as the man was about to say something, he saw someone running towards him.
When they saw the man, they saluted politely.
"Why are Eunuch Huang here?"
"But what are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Although Huang Xian was not among the top eunuchs in the Palace of Ceremonies, he was the fastest to rise in the palace and the most favored by the emperor.
Huang Xian is not a person who doesn't know how to praise. He said, "There are some things. I want to go with the Marquis's army. When I investigate some things according to His Majesty's instructions, I can also get the reputation of the Marquis and how much I can gain from the Marquis."
Isn’t it taking care of yourself?”
He said and saluted Marquis Xingsheng, "When the time comes, the Marquis will allocate a few people to the slaves, will it be possible?"
After hearing his words at first, Xingsheng Hou Lou Chuntai thought that Huang Xian was a supervisor sent by the emperor. But after hearing what he said, he realized that that was not the main intention.
The emperor has something else that needs Huang Xian to leave the capital to investigate. I don’t know what it is, but it must be handed over to this hot father-in-law?
Neither Lou nor Dou could guess it. Looking at Huang Xian's red face, it was obvious that this job was not a chore, but something that the emperor attached great importance to, so he was relieved to leave it to Huang Xian.
If Huang Xian can find out and handle it well, when he wants to return to Beijing, it will be the day to take a step forward with his head held high.
This is the difference between foreign ministers and domestic slaves. They can only do business, but cannot interfere in the emperor's private affairs.
But this did not stop Lou Chuntai from saying hello repeatedly.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, if you need anything, just tell Lou, and he will definitely help father-in-law run the holy mission!"
