Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

Qi Heng was puzzled.

He took the towel handed by the maid, and asked casually, "Why?"

Princess Pingning smiled coldly.

"In the early years, I saw that he was smart, studious and motivated. Although he is the adopted son of the Gu family, I would like to take care of him more."

"I just think that the Gu family has finally produced a promising junior, which can be regarded as a help in the future."

"But I didn't expect that."

"He's an idiot!"

"Born as a Jinshi, but going to a place like the Imperial City Division, isn't that self-destructive, what is it?"

Qi Heng understood.

In the Song Dynasty, a Jinshi was far more honorable than the Imperial City Secretary.

Jinshi means leaving the court and entering the prime minister, and the prime minister governs the world.

The Imperial City Division...after all, it's just a martial arts office.

to be honest.

It's still the same way of emphasizing civility and despising martial arts.

It's just that Princess Pingning's words made Qi Heng understand Gu Qianfan's previous guilt.

Thinking about it, he also felt sorry for the many cares the Duke's government had given him in the past.

He smiled indifferently.

"Mother."

"I think it's a good thing for me that Cousin Gu went to the Imperial City Department."

"Think about it, although the Imperial City Secretary has a bad reputation, he still has the right to listen to the heavens."

"If I become an official in the court in the coming year, I will always have one more person who can speak in front of the officials."

"It's not that you can only be regarded as a helper if you are a minister in the same palace."

Princess Pingning was suddenly surprised.

She subconsciously said to the Duke next to her, "Why didn't I think of this level?"

"Huangcheng Secretary is the emperor's pro-army, if he can gain the trust of the officials..."

It's not that she couldn't think of it, but the limitations of the times made it impossible for her to think about it.

He looked down on warriors from the bottom of his heart, so how could he put Huangcheng Secretary in his eyes?

She this person.

Strong domineering, arbitrary.

She likes to control everything in her own hands, even her husband and son have a strong desire to control.

But that by no means means that she is not a good person.

She has worked hard all her life to support all the glory of the Qi family.

It can be said that without her, Duke Qi's mansion would have been reduced to a third-rate dignitaries long ago, and it would be even more impossible to have the current flourishing situation.

All her decisions are for the Qi family.

Many people in Bianjing City said that the Duke of Qi was afraid of internal affairs, and the dignified Duke did not even have a concubine room.

But few people know that the Duke of the State is afraid of internal affairs, but what he fears is willingness.

……

Duke Qi looked at his wife with gentle eyes.

He laughed and said, "You didn't expect it, but Yuan Ruo did. It seems that you, as a mother, are not as good as a son."

Princess Pingning laughed it off.

But I can't help being suspicious in my heart.

She suddenly realized that her son... seems to be a little different today?

In the past, even though he talked to her like this, it always made her feel a little reserved, like a barrier between mother and child.

Qi Heng also respected and feared her.

But today... She obviously felt that his whole state was extremely casual.

There was no trace of fear at all.

also.

His opinion of Gu Qianfan and Huangcheng Secretary was too unexpected.

In the past, Qi Heng devoted himself to studying, so how could he care about such things?

She muttered in her heart.

But of course she didn't think too much about it, she just thought it was her son who had grown up.

She smiled and said, "Since Yuan Ruo thinks it's a good thing...then my mother will allow him to visit someday."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a few years."

Only then did Qi Heng understand.

It turned out that he hadn't seen Gu Qianfan again in the past few years, and it was because his mother had cut off contact with him.

He shook his head and laughed.

Either way, it's a good thing.

What's more important is that Princess Pingning will change her attitude towards Gu Qianfan because of his words, which is a good thing.

Barely can be regarded as a good start for what he is going to say next.

Chapter 14 Strong and paranoid, shameless and shameless

"Let the kitchen pass the dishes."

It was already dark outside.

Qi Heng came back late today, but in order to wait for him to have dinner together, his parents insisted on waiting until now.

This made Qi Heng a little emotional.

He felt that when he had a showdown with Princess Ning and he was determined to win Sheng Minglan, it was necessary to pay attention to the methods and methods, and it was best not to make troubles so overwhelming.

Meals are prepared early.

It was always hot on the stove.

For a simple dinner, there are assortment of [-] dishes, almost filling the entire round table.

During meals.

Except for the sound of spoons hitting dishes from time to time, no one in the family of three spoke.

There was Song Dynasty.

The more noble and dignified the family, the more attention should be paid to family etiquette and etiquette. It is the basic requirement not to eat or sleep.

Of course, drinking and having fun and setting up banquets are not included here.

When eating normally, there should be rules for eating.

……

About half an hour passed.

Seeing Princess Pingning put down the spoon and wiped the corners of her lips, Qi Heng knew that it was time to confess to her.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the maid beside him, and wiped the corners of his lips as well.

Then he spoke suddenly.

"By the way, mother, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Princess Pingning didn't care.

Her only son has always been obedient, diligent and studious. In the elite circle, she seems to be her pride, so why would she think too much?

She smiled lightly: "Why do you have to be restrained with your mother?"

"You say so."

Qi Heng smiled.

Up to here, the atmosphere in the main hall is still very harmonious, not to mention happy, at least warm and peaceful.

pity.

He simply said: "The Sheng family has three daughters, and my mother knows about it."

"I've got my eye on the youngest one."

"What does mother think?"

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Even the Duke who hadn't finished eating at the side suddenly raised his head.

Princess Pingning's eyes were full of disbelief, and she was speechless.

Time stood still for a moment.

Duke Guo and Princess Ning fixed their gazes firmly on Qi Heng, as if they were confirming that the young man in front of him was really their obedient and docile son?

Their eyes are particularly sharp.

However, Qi Heng remained calm.

Even the smile on the corner of his lips has not changed from the beginning to the end.

……

For a long time.
