Brother Wanfu

Chapter 41 Dragon Boat Festival
Brother is indeed a polite and respectful title.

After all, Qin Tian is not the younger sister of Qin Shen's mother, and did not grow up together, so it is common sense to call him elder brother.

Eldest brother wants to get closer, but Qin Tian is used to addressing him as elder brother, so he can't change it back.

Mrs. Qin said that, meaning to be close to her, Qin Tian of course responded with a smile.

She didn't take this matter too seriously, and she didn't 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 go out of the city, and she wanted to keep Qin Tian in the mansion and not go back. Of course Qin Tian wanted to leave, but before she could speak, she heard her brother speak first. .

"I also want to go back to Liefeng Shanfang today, so I can go together."

Qin Tian didn't know why his elder brother came to Fucheng, but when 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. It was a pity to see that the two of them had to leave, but she only asked them to bring some things and let them go.

Qin Shen was still injured and couldn't ride a horse, so he and Qin Tian rode in the same carriage.

When Qin Tian came, he was riding in his own carriage, but on the way back, he bumped into Qin Shen's carriage.

His carriage was wider and made of fine wood, and the interior of the carriage exuded a faint woody fragrance.

Qin Tian sat sideways beside him, saw him resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and just wanted to imitate his way of closing his eyes and resting his mind, when he heard him ask a question suddenly.

"How is the flower feast at the Wei family?"

As soon as he asked, Qin Tian became interested.

"The layout of the other courtyard is ingenious, and the flowers and plants used are all expensive. Among them are two pots of eighteen bachelors, pure white and moist. It is said that they came from the capital with the carriage and horses of Mr. Wei a few days ago."

Such an exquisite and ostentatious flower banquet may not be able to be written in a script.

Qin Shen smiled and glanced at her.

Others went to the flower banquet, mostly for marriage, or for private discussion, or to make friends, but she really went to appreciate the flowers wholeheartedly and came back.

However, Qin Tian remembered the person he saw in the Lost Forest, and turned his head to tell Qin Shen.

".The son took me out of the chaotic forest and sent me to the side of the road. He didn't ask me my name, and I didn't know who he was, so I just wanted to tell my wife that a son helped me. I can't tell who it is."

So Qin Tian didn't mention this matter to Mrs. Qin, but asked Qin Shen.

Qin Shen raised his eyebrows.

"That person looks a little sickly with white skin, doesn't he?"

He hit the spot right away, and Qin Tian quickly asked, "Brother, do you know this person?"

Of course Qin Shen knew it.

"Wei Yunce."

"what?"

It turned out to be the main character who did not appear in this flower feast, the eldest son Huiyuan Wei of Chunwei.

Qin Tian had guessed about Wei Yunce, but firstly, he thought that he was still sick and unable to see others, and secondly, she felt that the feeling he gave her was quite different from the feeling Wei Miao gave her, not like a brother and sister of the same mother.

"What did he say to you?"

Qin Tian heard his brother asked another question, so he also told him the details.

"... didn't say anything, it was just gossip, and he didn't know who I was."

Qin Shen didn't answer these words, glanced at the little girl beside him, and fell silent for a while.

"You just pretend you don't know him."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shen added, "It's not someone important."

"in this way."

Qin Tian didn't expect that his brother's evaluation of Mr. Wei didn't seem to be very high.

But she didn't have any clinging heart at all, and it didn't matter if she knew her or not.

However, Fu Wen, who was accompanying him outside, was puzzled by one thing.

At noon today, the young master suddenly said that he was going back to the mansion, and asked Lian Zhou to prepare new tea by the sea. Fu Wen thought it was something urgent, but the young master just went back to the mansion, drank a cup of tea with his wife, and took The girl went back to Liefeng Mountain House.

So, what is the most important thing for the young master to go back and forth this time?

Fu Wen fell into deep thought as he listened to the jingling voice of the girl in the back compartment and the patient and gentle response of the young master.

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 with ice and snow, and the servants knelt on the ground.

The bright yellow brocade robe was on the body of the person standing high above the red rhinoceros, emitting a deep light like a black cloud.

"They, are they going to turn against me?!"

No one in the hall dared to speak, even the two courtiers standing in front of the hall held their breath.

After a long while, only one person said a word.

"Xing Landong can't hold back these people anymore, and it's up to His Majesty to decide."

After one person finished speaking, he glanced at the person next to him.

The other man tightened his grip and opened his mouth.

"In the final analysis, Xing Landong has no military power in his hands, but the government soldiers can't subdue those anti-people, and the military households in the local guards can't say that they can clearly distinguish them from the local anti-people. Your Majesty, if you want to rule the people, you must first control the soldiers."

The emperor on the red rhinoceros was silent for a while, and glanced at the two people below.

The man who spoke first stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the subject is willing to go to make soldiers."

These words echoed in the empty hall.

The emperor didn't respond for a while, and after a while, he turned around and left.

A voice that was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger came over.

"Don't bother me any more."

After leaving the main hall, the two of them were relieved by the warm wind blowing.

The round-faced middle-aged man who spoke first stroked his beard and glanced at the long-faced man next to him.

"Housing Lord Xingsheng, this time it is really what Lord Hou wished. I am also happy for Lord Hou to think that the empress is in the harem."

Xingsheng Hou Lou Chuntai cocked his lips and said, "It's not easy for the empress to be in the harem. As an elder brother, I have to do as much as I can to share the worries."

But he also looked at the round-faced man, "Shangshu Dou is willing to build a bridge for Lou and share the worries of the emperor and empress. The matter of entering the cabinet is already in sight."

Dou Shangshu's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Just as this person was about to say something, he saw someone running towards him.

When the two saw the man, they saluted politely.

"Why is Eunuch Huang here?"

"But what is His Majesty's order?"

Huang Xian was in the palace, although he was not one of the top eunuchs in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but who didn't know that he was promoted the fastest in the palace and was most favored by the emperor.

Huang Xian is not a person who doesn't know how to praise, and said, "There are some things. The slave wants to go with the army of the Marquis. After investigating some things according to His Majesty's instructions, he can also get the honor of the Marquis and get some points from the Marquis." Take care, isn't it?"

He said saluting to Hou Xingsheng, "When the time comes, how many people will be assigned by Lord Hou to the slaves, will it be possible?"

Hearing his words at the beginning, Xingsheng Hou Lou Chuntai thought that Huang Xian was sent by the emperor to supervise the army, but after hearing it later, he realized that the main meaning was not there.

The emperor has other matters that Huang Xian needs 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?
Both of Lou Dou couldn't figure it out, and seeing Huang Xian blushed again, it was obvious that this job was not hard work, on the contrary, it was something the emperor attached great importance to, so he handed it over to Huang Xian with confidence.

If Huang Xian can find out and handle it well, when he wants to go back and forth to Beijing, it will be the day when he will 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 they can't intervene in the emperor's private affairs.

But this did not delay Lou Chuntai's repeated greetings.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, if you need anything, just tell Lou, and I will definitely help father-in-law to handle the errands well!"

Qingzhou Prefecture.

The dragon boat race for the Dragon Boat Festival is held in a wide lake ten miles outside the city.

This lake is called Yujing Lake, not too far from the prefectural city. Up the mountain along the west of the lake is Qingyu Temple, the largest temple in Qingzhou prefecture. The town at the foot of the lake is comparable to a remote county town. Panoramic view of the lake.

In the past, the three restaurants by the Yujing Lake were not singing and dancing, but in the past few years, the people's livelihood has been declining, and it is impossible for Qingzhou Prefecture not to be affected. Only this Dragon Boat Festival, the three Linhu restaurants finally ushered in people.

Shen Xiao was not interested in such things at first, and was obsessed with practicing martial arts. It was Qin Tian's persuasion two or three times before he reluctantly agreed to relax for a day.

Qin Tian's words touched her, and he was very happy, so he also told Qin Shen, took Shen Xiao to look for Li Er, and did not forget to ask Qin Shen a question.

"Brother, do you want to watch the dragon boat race?"

Qin Shenzi is also not very interested in that event, and he never went to see it when it was held in previous years when it was more grand than it is now. If he was passing by, he would at most take a look along the way.

He said that he should not go, "Father just came back from other places, I'm going to the guard."

This is a serious matter, Qin Tian didn't dare to question it, and nodded repeatedly.

Qin Shen sent them all the way to the edge of Yujing Lake, saw the dragon boat with Li's flag hanging high not far away, and then left.

Li Chunzhen had already booked the viewing room in the restaurant, and now she and her younger brother Li Shaozhen were waiting for Qin Tian and Shen Xiao by the side of the road.

That's Shen Xiao, the daughter of General Shen of the Mountain Tiger Army, according to storytellers.

The two siblings were both nervous and excited, and their necks were sweating before they were greeted.

After all, the people in the book are really going to come to them!

Qin Tian saw the two siblings from a distance, tense like stone carvings, and thought it was funny. When he got closer, he found that Li Chunzhen's sideburns were sticking to her cheeks, and Li Shaozhen's neckline was soaked.

The two of them just looked at Shen Xiao and dared not speak, it was Shen Xiao who reported her name first and opened the mouth.

"Shen Xiao, you're being polite."

Concise and powerful, the siblings were stunned again, and then hurriedly reported their families, and the two sides met each other in a serious manner.

Li Chunzhen spoke slowly, while Shen Xiao spoke quickly and crisply. She didn't dare to speak in front of Shen Xiao, and secretly pulled Qin Tian's sleeve.

"Tiantian, what should I tell her?"

Li Shaozhen also wanted to know this question, and both siblings looked at Qin Tian.

"Anything is fine."

From Qin Tian's point of view, Shen Xiao would not be angry at what Li Chunzhen's siblings said.

But when he thought of his first contact with Shen Xiao, he didn't dare to talk to her at all.

Qin Tian comforted the siblings, "Then don't worry, it won't be too late to talk about the dragon boat race after we get to know each other a little bit later."

When she said this, the siblings felt a little relieved.

Li Chunzhen said reluctantly.

"I've booked a private room near the lake on the third floor, shall we go there?"

She asked Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao wasn't nervous at first, but when she saw the siblings were too nervous to speak, she also became embarrassed.

She tried to make herself look softer like Qin Tian, ​​but no matter how much she adjusted, she couldn't adjust.

Now Li Chunzhen had the courage to ask her, and she immediately nodded and said yes.

Coincidentally, a tall and slender man walked over at this moment.

He smiled when he opened his mouth.

"The fruit refreshments are already served, everyone want to go there?"

Shen Xiao was afraid of embarrassment, when she heard this person asking, she thought to herself that this person was probably the manager of the Li family, so she said.

"Let's lead the way then."

After she finished speaking, she didn't notice that the eyes of Qin Tian and Li's siblings behind her were all wide open.

And that "manager" smiled for some reason, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and the expression of his smile was like a spring breeze.

He didn't say anything else, but raised his hand very modestly.

"Please."

　good night
