hairpin family

Chapter 241
Mrs. Wen Guo's Shan's death had an inside story, and the water in the Qin family was muddy enough.The expressions on everyone's faces were subtle, Qin Huaiyu and Princess Jinyang's faces were ashen, even after sitting on the back of God, their expressions changed slightly.

Duke Lu was furious, but looked at Qin Zhao and said nothing.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and no one thought that such a joyous scene would suddenly have such a magical turning point.

But now is really not the time to ask questions, so Qin Huaiyu, Princess Jinyang, and Old Duke Lu can only press their stomachs full of words and keep silent.

After a long silence, it was Emperor Li who spoke: "It is not difficult to change the nationality. Since the two of them are loyal servants of Mrs. Wen, they can change their nationality after the palace releases the document. Only the son you mentioned can take the scientific examination and enter the country." Although the matter of being an official is not in accordance with the law, but with your achievements in farming and mulberry, you can do it with love. You can go to the yamen with the two-person deed to change the file some day, that's it. The widow agrees."

Qin Zhao thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

It was also announced that Qin Zhao would grant rewards, the rank of the princess would not change, and two hundred food towns would be added.

In fact, these are just benefits on the surface. The most important thing is that with this great contribution, no matter what kind of crime she commits in the future, as long as she does not seek revenge, she will have the right of immunity.It's just that there is no need to mention it.

At this point, there is really no way to eat this meal, but fortunately, everyone has almost eaten.

The empress led people to go to the sweet potato field again, all the sweet potatoes had been cleansed by this time, so they weighed them, a total of five mu of land, and more than 300 catties were harvested.All the officials listened to the report, and all the subtleties on the dinner table were wiped away, and they looked happy again.

Qin Zhao ignored Princess Jinyang's repeated hints, Quan Zuo didn't see it, and led the empress and officials to visit the farm.

Until the sun set to the west, the emperor led all the officials back to Beijing.

The old devil king, Princess Jinyang and Qin Huaiyu all stayed behind.

Waiting for the car to drive away, Jin Yang's face darkened, they returned to the manor, and sent servants, Qin Huaiyu as the head of the house, and then said: "Ah Zhao, how did your mother die that year?"

The kindness that Qin Zhao asked for was really too much information, and there was a lot of room for brainstorming. If it was handled carelessly, the Qin family's face in Shangjing would be lost.

Qin Zhao sneered inwardly.

Mother's death was strange, she didn't believe they didn't notice, but now they came to ask her.

She really doesn't care about the Qin family's reputation.

Princess Jinyang treated her very well, but this was originally based on mutual cooperation.She also didn't think that for the sake of the Qin family's reputation and this compatibility, she could give up revenge on that beautiful woman.If it wasn't for the reputation of the Qin family, would uncle be as nervous as he is now?

However, she still felt a little guilty about Princess Jinyang.

On the contrary, the old devil king was already full of anger, and said to Qin Zhao: "Azhao, tell me, who killed your mother, I will risk my life, and I will avenge your mother. Don't be afraid, your grandfather will protect you, and no one will kill you." How dare I take you."

Facing this old man, Qin Zhao felt a little warm in his heart. After a moment of silence, Fang said lightly, "My mother fell to death, and my brother and I saw it in person. At that time, my brother and I also fell into the world at the same time. wrong."

"That being the case, why didn't the loyal servants escort you to Beijing after they found you? Your father is in Beiping, and Youzhou is not far from Beiping. If you don't go back to Chang'an, why don't you go back to Beiping? How can you bear your mother's bones in the wilderness?" What, why is this? Grandfather, I'm sorry for your mother."

Shan Nian was raised by the old man and Mrs. Pei, and they treated them like their own daughters. When the news of Shan Nian's death came back, he and Mrs. Pei were suspicious. Can bring people back.

I don't want the child's death to be true.How can the old devil not be sad?

Qin Zhao sighed: "Mother fell to death, this is true. As for the reason, Ah Zhao was young at that time, so he really didn't know. Ah Zhao also asked the pair of loyal servants. Speaking of which, maybe his grandfather remembered it too. The two of them belonged to mother's personal maid, A Cai, and her guard, Yun Rui. After A Zhao was found by them, they also asked about it. Unfortunately, when we were still in Beiping Mansion, they didn't know each other. I have been sent out of the house by my mother, so I don’t know about it. Later, I heard about the accident, so I searched all the way. It took me a while to find me who was adopted by others, but at that time my brother thought that my mother and I Both died, and he lost his memory again. When I woke up, my elder brother had disappeared. However, my mother didn’t even say the reason for A Cai and Yun Rui, so I must have known about my elder brother. Otherwise, he would recover. After remembering, it is impossible to ignore mother's death and not investigate at all."

"Then A Cai and Yun Rui found you, even if they didn't return to Beiping, why didn't they send you back to Beijing?" The old devil said again, "One of these two is from my old Chen's family, and the other was given to your mother by your grandpa Luo. People, at least they should report a letter to the capital."

Qin Zhao smiled wryly: "Ah Cai and Yun Rui had doubts about their mother's death, but how could they investigate further? Because they found me, they only hoped that I could be raised safely, so they dared not take it lightly. He went out to inquire about the news. How dare he contact the capital without knowing the inside story? It’s not that he doesn’t believe in his family, it’s really..."

Qin Huaiyu said: "Even so, you should tell me and your grandmother after you return to Beijing. How can you make up your own mind and ask for such kindness for two servants in front of His Majesty and officials today?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids, and said lightly: "My life was given by the two of them. A contribution from farming and mulberry can be exchanged for the status of a good family son of the two of them. Why not? My mother is dead, why should I pursue it? Even if I pursue it , if uncle finds out the truth, uncle may promise to seek justice for Ah Zhao's mother? Brother is an official in the court, uncle is the side-by-side king, aunt is the princess of the royal family, and the Qin family is originally a noble and noble family in the country. Glory! This credit goes to the Qin family, it is optional, it is normal for Ah Zhao to use it to repay his benefactor. If there is something wrong with Ah Zhao, uncle will punish him."

She never mentioned the inside story of Shan Nian's death, but every word and every word made people have to think about it.

What kind of truth can make several families unable to seek justice for Shan Nian?

The answer is self-evident.

The old demon king glared at Qin Huaiyu with eyes like copper bells.

But Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Qin Zhao said again: "The reason why Ah Zhao asked for this grace in court for A Cai and Yun Rui is because the deeds of A Cai and Yun Rui are still in the hands of Princess Yunhe. I hope uncle will deal with it."

Qin Huaiyu was already dejected, after hearing this, he had no choice but to agree.

Qin Zhao said no more.

On the contrary, the old devil snorted coldly. Because of Qin Zhao's begging for grace for A Cai and Yun Rui today, he had no way to deal with that kid Qin Huaiyong. He still can't see that Shan Nian's death is related to Qin Huaiyong?
But if Qin Huaiyong is dealt with, the killing of his wife by the second master of the Qin family will cause storms all over the city. At that time, the second brother Qin's first benevolence and righteousness will also destroy that damned animal.

He, can't do this.

He also blamed Qin Zhao for why he didn't reveal even the slightest bit of information despite his repeated questioning.Do you believe that he can make decisions for her?If it didn't come out today, it would be to ask the family law to deal with the animal secretly, so what's the difficulty?Now that something has happened, but he can't be moved anymore.

Thinking of this, the old devil became depressed.

Yes, things have come to this point, he really can't say anything, no wonder this girl, she doesn't trust herself.

The old man did not expect that Qin Huaiyong was not only Qin Huaiyu's brother, but also the old concubine's son.Even if Qin Huaiyu severely punished Qin Huaiyong to appease his anger, how could the old concubine be willing to let her own son die?
Furthermore, in the end, Qin Zhao is Qin Huaiyong's daughter, and filial piety is emphasized at the time. Even if the father has done something wrong, the children can't say it. Even if the father breaks the law, if the child denounces it, the law stipulates that the child will be punished as well. .

Qin Zhao, how could she report Qin Huaiyong's crime?No matter whether the girl has evidence or not, she will never release it clearly.

Qin Zhao didn't say anything, did Qin Zhe know?If Qin Zhe also knew, he is the eldest grandson of the Qin family.Father and son are separated, the Qin family...

Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Father and son are separated, and after this incident, the brothers will be in a situation of dissuading each other in the future. Could it be that the Qin family is really about to lose?However, he and Jinyang have no children...

After contacting Shan Nian's death, Qin Huaiyong hurriedly married Yun He. Now that Qin Huaiyong said that Anxi's secret army had nothing to do with Qin Huaiyong, even Qin Huaiyu himself didn't believe it.

When he came, he was full of joy, but when he left, he looked ashamed. Qin Zhao sent the three of them out. The servants and guards outside looked at the faces of the three of them. Although they didn't know what happened, they were all trembling.

Qin Zhao bowed to Jinyang.This is the meaning of pleading guilty to Jinyang.Speaking of it, no matter what the reason is, Jinyang treats her very well. Qin Zhao must accept this love. The death of his mother has nothing to do with Jinyang. Jinyang is the mistress of the palace. I'm sorry Jinyang.

Jin Yang was still a little annoyed that she acted improperly. It can be seen that she is like this. Thinking of this girl is not easy, pity prevailed, and finally sighed and rubbed Qin Zhao's head: "I'm done with things, Go back to the mansion earlier. Auntie and your uncle... are looking forward to your coming home earlier."

Qin Zhao hummed.

In the palace, she can't stay any longer.Fortunately, she spends a lot of time at the Qin family's farm on weekdays, so it's not surprising that she's not in the mansion.But now is not the time to mention these things.Besides, she had a lot of things to do, even if she didn't have today's things, she didn't have much time in the palace.

"Brother is going to leave Beijing when I'm busy with the farm. Ah Zhao will see him off. I'll leave the household registration of A Cai and Yunrui to Uncle."

The three people who listened knew clearly that Qin Zhao's move was only for the purpose of household registration?Bringing up these two people for a while made people suspicious of her mother's determination, and secondly, it was to protect these two people.If the matter is really related to Qin Huaiyong, Qin Huaiyong has a ghost in his heart, how could he not kill the two of them, after her trouble, not only Qin Huaiyong can't kill the two of them, but he is most afraid of the death of these two people, That's him.Once the two of them die, which one will not be happy?Those two envoys have now passed the Ming Road in front of His Majesty, what Qin Zhao did, wouldn't Qin Huaiyong be afraid?
Sending off the side-by-side Wang couple and the old devil king, Qin Zhao went back to the courtyard, Zisu didn't know what she and the prince, Princess Jinyang and the old Duke had said in the room, but the faces of the three who left were not good, and they were very worried : "Did the princess offend the prince, princess, and the Duke?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. Let's go back to Beijing after finishing our work on the farm."

It was the end of August when he returned to Beijing, and Qin Zhe left Beijing on the 28th. When he saw Qin Zhao, he didn't say that she acted recklessly.

He knew Qin Zhao's feelings for A Cai and Yun Rui's family.In fact, he also has something to worry about. The subordinate general Lu Yue actually has a relationship with his sister-in-law, Changning, and asks him to make peace in front of His Highness the Princess.

Even in his dreams, Qin Zhe would never have imagined that his most powerful general, Lu Yue, would have any relationship with Ah Chen. This kid is calm and doesn't like to talk. general.It turned out that he joined the army because of his younger sister.

Qin Zhe really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

From his point of view, Lu Yue is pretty good, but his background is really not good enough.And even though there are thousands of hereditary families, Qin Zhe also knows how his princess and aunt love her daughter. It would be inappropriate to say it now, and he also knows that the Qin and Luo families are married, and Changning is the best candidate.

But Lu Yue and Ah Chen are in love again.This is difficult.

At that time, it was not uncommon for women to choose their son-in-law on their own, and it was not uncommon for their parents to come forward to arrange the marriage. Qin Zhe didn't think there was anything wrong with the matter of Lu Yue and Ah Chen, but it was too difficult.Although Lu Yue was good, compared to Luo Jingnian, he was worse.I don't know why Ah Chen fell in love with this silly boy.

In desperation, Qin Zhe had no choice but to ask Ah Chen, but Ah Chen also asked him to agree.

Lu Yue can still ignore it, since his younger sister entrusts her to him, it's not good for Qin Zhe as the elder brother not to ask.After thinking about it for a few days, I still went to find Princess Jinyang.Asked about the marriage between the Qin family and the Luo family, Jin Yang said: "My aunt is very relieved that you care about Ah Chen. Originally, Ah Chen and Jing Nian are actually a couple. The elders of both families seem to be fine, but That girl Ah Chen didn't want to make a marriage agreement. Your uncle and I thought that the children were still young, so we were not in a hurry. This delay lasted for a few years. Jingnian and Guan, Ahchen was also seventeen years old. I'm thinking about the day I will discuss with your uncle and aunt of the Luo family."

Qin Zhe had no choice but to talk about the matter between Lu Yue and Changning: "Ah Chen asked me, I am his elder brother, and I have to think about her. Although that kid Jing Nian is rare, it will be Ah Chen himself who will live in the future. I have served under my command for a few years, among other things, my character can be guaranteed, and he joined the army because of Ah Chen. This kind of dedication alone is extremely rare. It is not too late for a woman to marry, If the Luo family is not in a hurry, Auntie might as well wait a little longer. Lu Yue's future will not be wrong. Although we come from a slightly poor background and we are not from a noble family, we don't need to care about our background. As a daughter of the Qin family, there is no need to Marrying into a noble family, as long as Ah Chen is happy, that is more important than anything else, what does Auntie think?"

Jinyang is full of love for daughters. If it is noble, there is no one in the world more noble than the royal family.She was born in the royal family, even if she married into a prince's mansion, she was considered married, and it was not unacceptable for her to marry her daughter.It's just that Luo Jingnian is really a good son-in-law candidate, while Lu Yue is really inferior compared to Luo Jingnian.But the daughter likes it herself, and that kid is working hard for her,

Jin Yang thought for two days before he said: "You guys want to go back to Beiting so much, even if I agree, it's too late to kiss their marriage. There's no need to talk to Lu Yue about this matter, since he saved Ah Chen Well, the two of you are destined to join the army because of Ah Chen, and you can be promoted to a thousand households, and you are optimistic about him, so it’s a good person to come. Didn’t he himself say to wait another three years? Let’s wait for three years and then talk about it .”

There is looseness in the tone.

It's good to be able to do this, Qin Zhe said hello with a smile.After hearing that, Lu Yue and Chang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.It is better to have hope than to have no hope.

After sending Qin Zhe away, Qin Zhao was called into the palace to discuss the planting of sweet potatoes and rice.

Because the red sweet potato has only harvested four or five acres of land, if you want to promote it on a large scale now, there must be not enough seeds. The most important thing now is how to cultivate better and sufficient seedlings, even rice, and you need to try again. After exploring the experience in one or two seasons, it is a bit urgent to promote it now. If something goes wrong, Nongsang is not a trivial matter. A delay of one season will cut off the people’s rations for half a year. No one can afford this responsibility.

Furthermore, even if it is promoted, it has to be promoted first in the noble families or Huangzhuang, so that even if it is extinct, it will be harmless to the common people.

The rice is nothing more than that, but Qin Zhao can only contribute the more than 600 catties that he harvested.

Of course, the court didn't do her any harm and made up the money.

However, Qin Zhao pointed out that because the farmers on her farm had planting experience, the seedling cultivation should still be carried out on her farm.And after planting next year, she will keep ten acres of sweet potatoes for her own use.

In addition, because of Li Da's achievements in planting rice, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience after planting it for a season, and Sinong Temple gave Li Da an official position.Li Da was just dreaming, never thought that one day he would become an official, because of this, even his daughter's marriage could be raised to a higher level, he and Pond's favorite is Lan Niang, why are they unhappy?

Speaking of the promotion of sweet potato and rice in the second year, Si Nong's decision was still made on Qin Zhao's farm.

As a result, the land on her farm became a little tense.And because she added two hundred households, for the sake of convenience, she simply gave her the Zhuangzi near Yuchi's house, and added another Zhuangzi to the Duke of E's mansion.

Outside, there were rumors about the cause of Mrs. Wen Guo's death, and there were various versions.

Qin Zhao ignored these things, and when he was done with work, he followed Luo Laoguo to the Luo family farm.

Originally, Luo Jingnian was going to live in the farm with old Duke Luo, but the old emperor sent him an errand out of town.Qin Zhao was in Luojiazhuang, and every day he either talked with the old man, went hunting with Laozi, or talked with Li Sanniang in the courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

When Qin Zhao saw Luo Jingnian again, it was already the twelfth lunar month of heavy snow.

Qin Zhao got up early that day, because wintersweet was planted in the back garden of the manor, she went to the plum garden to practice marksmanship every day.After washing, he opened the door and saw a piece of fruit and silver clothes outside.

It snowed heavily overnight, and there was already a thick layer on the ground.

Before the snow stopped, Zisu persuaded: "The princess should take a rest for a day, even if you don't practice for a day, you won't be unfamiliar."

Qin Zhao laughed, "Today we practice swordsmanship. Sword dancing under the snow is also a beautiful thing."

Then let Yun Xiang take the sword.

Seeing her insistence, the maids here have prepared a half-white cloak for her to wear, because she doesn't want the maids to follow her to the garden to blow the wind during her morning exercises, so she ordered Zisu: "Prepare a bowl for breakfast. Duck blood vermicelli soup, just add some chili oil, it’s delicious when I come back, and I’ll go to Sanniang’s courtyard to have a look, if she thinks duck blood soup is good, let her come to my courtyard to accompany me for breakfast, today’s I'm afraid there's still snow to fall, so after breakfast we'll go to Grandpa Luo's courtyard to play chess with his old man."

Perilla agreed.

Qin Zhao went to the plum garden, practiced a stick of incense sword, then stopped his momentum, and when he raised his head, he stayed there.

The plum blossoms were proud of the snow, and it was snowing heavily, and Luo Jingnian was standing there.Red clothes and white fur, golden crowns and jade belts, smiling eyes.

People under the snow are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao thought of such an outrageous poem. (end of this volume)
