Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 95 Qin Ye Makes Up His Mind
Gu Yichen picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a big sip, suppressing his shock.

Only then did he carefully think about what was wrong, and Mrs. An didn't dare to disturb her, so she sat quietly beside her.

Looking back on Lao Zhao's attitude today, he was very resolute. It was so difficult that there were other things in it, wasn't it just empty pay.

Could it be that I was thinking too simple? Before leaving, Lao Zhao said that it can be done in any way, but it must not involve the military power of the frontier generals, or something big will happen.

Military power, financial power, it was only at this time that Gu Yichen realized that behind the military power was the financial power. If the household department directly distributed money to the soldiers, it would be no wonder that the generals didn't blow up. Fortunately, he was not reckless.

But when I think that the civil servants are determined to find some trouble for those nobles, it is a bit of a headache. It is so easy to find. Now that the nobles are so honest, they don’t go out very much, and the big competition is approaching, and they are busy training soldiers.

Well, for training, those soldiers should come to the city, and they don't have money to spend on those miserable people entering the city.

Thinking of money, the Minister of the Household Department suddenly thought of a way to take the money directly to the barracks and hand it over to the leading generals of the frontier army on the spot to see what the generals would do.

Thinking of the wonderful thing, Gu Ge couldn't help laughing out loud. An Shi was still a little confused by the side, and now he was laughing again when he was annoyed just now.

"Master, why are you laughing again, and the matter is settled?"

Gu Yichen didn't speak, but nodded mysteriously, suddenly seeing An's being so seductive tonight, he directly pulled his wife into the bed in the back room without saying a word.

Qin Mansion,

Qin Ye, his daughter Qin Keqing, and his youngest son Qin Zhong had dinner, and they also sat in the front hall drinking tea to digest food. Qin Ye was very relieved of his daughter. Too beautiful, afraid of causing trouble, it's better to find a man with a backing.

Looking at the youngest son with scribbled eyes, he also sighed. He is not courageous if he has such an idea, and he is also a worthless guy. In the future, the Qin family can only rely on his daughter for help.

Should he go to Rongguo Mansion to ask Jia Zheng for help? Qin Ye thought for a while and felt that it was not right.

Thinking of this, there was a look of worry on her face. Although Qin Keqing sat on the side silently, she watched her father's every move, and she was worried when she saw her father's depression.

"Dad, is there any problem?"

When Qin Ye heard his daughter's inquiry, it was hard to talk about it. The marriage was most decided by his parents, but it still depended on his daughter's wishes. He couldn't say that he had harmed her by clinging to the powerful.

"Ke Qing, I have something to discuss with my father, just listen."

Qin Keqing also put down the tea bowl and sat upright.

"Father, please tell me, my daughter is listening."

"Okay, then I don't care about playing around as a father. You are grown up now, and your mother left early. As a father, you are also worried about your future. I want to ask you what you mean."

Qin Keqing didn't know what his father meant. When he mentioned Luo Yunhou before, he knew that his father was worried about his marriage.

"Daddy is worried about my marriage?"

"Yes, my father wants to find a man with a backing for you. Don't say that your father is a dragon and a phoenix. You also know what you look like. If no one protects you, you may cause trouble."

Qin Keqing naturally knew what his father Qin Ye meant, but it was not so easy for the small family of the Qin family.

"Is there someone to choose for father?"

"Well, not for the time being. I planned to ask Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, who is also the boss of my Ministry of Industry. There must be connections with the honorable family. I can talk about a good husband's family."

Qin Keqing didn't think so, there were few nasty things in these aristocratic families, even if she didn't step out of the door, she knew a lot, and there might be holes in the air.

"Is this the only way for father? My daughter feels uncomfortable. There are many dirty things in those powerful families. I'm afraid it may not be what we think."

Qin Ye was also taken aback, this is true, Qin Ye has heard about the behavior of those rich and powerful, it is indeed wrong, there is only one way, repairing the Marquis Mansion is an opportunity, I must take this matter, Qin Ye Ye secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.

"King, there is still a way to go, and you have to be prepared."

"Which way is father?"

"Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu, this renovation of the Hou's mansion is an opportunity. It will be easy to see Lord Hou. If it doesn't work, I will invite him to my house as a guest. The rest will depend on God's will."

Qin Keqing blushed when she heard this, and felt a little helpless. Is this feasible?

"Daddy, didn't you say that the repair schedule for the Hou's mansion is tight, and it needs to be repaired before the Hou Ye returns to the mansion?"

Only then did Qin Ye smile heartily. The construction period is not in the hands of his master.

"Silly girl, I am not in charge of the repair of the Hou's mansion. If the Marquis doesn't come, the mansion will not be able to be repaired."

When Qin Keqing heard what she said, she was even more shy. Seeing her daughter's reaction, Qin Ye also understood that the matter was half done. You can fight for it, as for the main room, it depends on God's will.

Thinking of this, he ordered;
"Don't go out these days, close the door tightly, and wait for the Lord Hou to come and everything will settle, so as not to cause trouble."

Qin Keqing nodded obediently, the reddish character's face looked so lovely, with soft tears in her eyes, her father had paid too much for herself.

How would I repay my father, how would I repay the Qin family? Thinking of this, seeing my younger brother Qin Zhong who was sitting on the lower head scratching his head and scratching his head, he felt annoyed, and lamented that this ineffective younger brother was so unrefined.

In the future, I will definitely teach him a lot, at least to be an honest gentleman, and this is past the age of enlightenment, but the private school, thinking of the Qin family that is not rich, Qin Keqing also temporarily dismissed this nod, and he has more time to spare. Teach him, literacy is also good.

Just as the father and daughter of the Qin family were talking, the Anhu camp outside the capital,

In an inconspicuous place in the camp, in the tent, the generals of the various frontier armies who had escaped most of the patrolling guards of the soldiers of the Beijing camp gathered together.

The first person who couldn't see clearly spoke;

"Is everyone here? Report to each other."

"The commander of the Shuoyang Frontier Army has arrived."

"The general of the Yunyang Frontier Army has arrived."

"The army commander by the North River has arrived."

"The commander of the frontier army in the cloud has arrived."

Hearing that everyone had arrived, the person on the main seat spoke;
"Okay, they're all here, and I'm not holding my breath. I'm just asking how the competition will be ranked, or whether we should make peace internally."

The people below didn't make a sound, and seemed to have doubts. Is this Dabi accurate? General Zhaowu Hou Xiuqing, the main general of Yunyang, asked first;
"My lord, can this be chosen internally?"

"It's not an internal selection, it's our own ranking first, and we are trying our best to besiege the Beijing camp, the imperial army, and the people of Luoyunhou outside Guanwai. Our frontier army first selects one, two, and three from within, and the latter meets the former. Automatically release water."

After hearing this, the generals also felt that this plan was okay, and they could concentrate on dealing with the three families without worry and trouble, but there was one more thing: how to arrange the order internally, who can obey whom.

General Yang Baoqing of the Shanyang Frontier Army Mingwei asked;

"My lord, I will agree with this plan in the end, but how is the internal ranking arranged? What should the brothers below do if they are not convinced?"

After hearing this, the man in black began to speak;

"It's easy to handle. Draw lots to decide. They are ranked according to length. Each person draws one lot. The longest one is the first, and the others are descending in descending order. As for the people below, don't say that there is no way."

"can."

"good."

"agree."

After everyone agreed, the man in black took out the bamboo sticks that had been prepared long ago, revealing the bamboo sticks that were lined up side by side, and asked the generals to draw them one by one, and then compared them. Their respective rankings were clear at a glance. Unpleasant color.

But there is no way, it can only be like this now.

"Well, it's settled like this. Everyone be careful in the future and cherish each other."

The generals also didn't want to stay here anymore, if it wasn't for the need for the prince to take the lead, who would have no selfish intentions, but the two generals Zhaowu and Zhaoyong deliberately stayed behind, walked out of the tent and retreated.
