Chastity Layman

  Chapter 49 Give him another chance

  Old Cheng had mixed feelings when he left the North Gate.

   Should I be angry or sad, or should I say that this child is very capable in his own way? Speaking of which, Qin Lang was only sixteen, but now he has been granted the title of Duke of Yi Kingdom and Zhu Kingdom, and has held several important positions. He is walking under the door, and his future is boundless. How many of them can be like Qin Lang?

  But for some reason, Lao Cheng still felt that this child was a bit too inflated, what a chance Princess Shang had.

   "No, I have to go to Shubao. If this kid doesn't care, I'm afraid he will make a big mistake."

  In the Taiji Palace, Lao Cheng found Qin Qiong who was patrolling with soldiers and guards by the sea pool.

  Qin Qiong has now changed his title to the Duke of Qi, added General Zuowei, and led the Wannian Dao Canqi General. He can be said to be the number one general after the Xuanwu Gate.

He wears a helmet and wears armor, and he is very serious about leading soldiers to stay in the palace. .

  Seeing Lao Cheng entering the palace, he was a little surprised, thinking that the prince had some order.

   "Just now, His Highness was discussing in the Eastern Palace, something happened while you were away."

   "What is it?"

   "It's Saburo."

  Hearing the mention of his son, Qin Qiong asked with some concern, "What trouble did Sanlang get into again?"

   "How to say again?"

  Qin Qiong said helplessly, "I can't understand this kid now, he's like a runaway wild horse."

Old Cheng smiled, "Sure enough, I know you better than father. You don't know that in the East Palace just now, His Highness asked Qin Lang what to do next. He made several suggestions. Although they were a little bold, they were indeed very insightful. Even His Royal Highness listened to Qin Lang. Afterwards, they were all moved and bowed down to thank them, and issued the Prince's Order on the spot, conferring on Qin Lang Duke of Yi and Shangzhu, and marrying Princess Danyang, but this kid actually refused the marriage again."

"Yes, I refused the marriage again. But last time I rejected Zheng's daughter, it was justifiable. After all, the Zheng family is an abolished princeling, but this time he refused again, and His Highness was so angry that he shook his sleeves." And let's go, don't you think this kid is too ignorant. Shubao, Sanlang is smart, and he is so much better than those boys in my family. I am very relieved, but now I am also very worried. I'm afraid that this kid's cleverness will be mistaken by his cleverness."

  Qin Qiong's complexion became more and more ugly, and his golden face gradually turned dark.

  He and Cheng Yaojin are considered Shandong fellows. Since they met in Wagang, they have fought together for more than ten years, and they have long been life-and-death brothers who have changed their lives.

   "See if I don't beat this **** when I go back." Qin Qiong gritted his teeth.

  When Qin Qiong was on duty to change clothes, someone from the East Palace said that the prince had summoned him.

  When Li Shimin saw Qin Qiong, he began to criticize Qin Lang for his ignorance.

"I proposed this marriage on my own initiative because I saw that Sanlang was young and promising, so I didn't care whether he was a concubine or not, and I didn't even care that the Qin family was not a famous family. And you, Shubao, agreed with this matter, but now he actually Refusal, do you think it makes sense?"

  Li Shimin felt aggrieved. Although there were also Longxi Li and Zhaojun Li in the five surnames and seven clans, the royal Li family was also the Longxi Li family. In fact, this Longxi Li clan is very big, different from the other six clans. The other six clans, such as Xingyang Zheng, Zhaojun Li, etc., are all prestige of the same county. Although they have branches, they are all of that family.

  Longxi Li's Longxi refers to a large area, not just Longxi County in the Sui Dynasty, but a large area in Longyou Hexi, including multiple Li families. The Li family of Huang Tang said that they are also the Li family of Longxi, so it is naturally true. It's just that secretly, the other families have not admitted much.

  Even because the Li family married Xianbei for several generations in the early years and had Hu blood, they were looked down upon by the Shandong gentry. Although Li Yuan's younger sister, Princess Anchang, also married the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the eldest son Jiancheng married a daughter of the Zheng family of Xingyang, but they wanted more marriages, but they were not accepted.

  Li Shimin married the eldest grandson of the Xianbei tribe.

Five surnames and seven families are unwilling to marry the Li family of the royal family, and are despised. Now even Qin Lang, a maidservant of a military upstart family from a common family, actually looks down on the royal princess and refuses to marry. This is too much up.

  Li Shimin couldn't help thinking about it, and became more and more unhappy.

The Qin family can also be regarded as a local gentry, but it is only a small gentry. When it came to Qin Qiong, it could only be regarded as a local landlord and commoner. If there are no three generations of officials above the fifth rank, they will not be on the scoreboard.

   "Shubao, is this just Qin Lang's idea, or do you also have this idea?"

   "Your Highness, I just found out about this. I am very honored and grateful to Your Highness for giving me a dog."

  Li Shimin's face was ashen, "Qin Lang is a capable person, and Gu also appreciates him, so he was made the Duke of Yi at a young age, but if he is not sensible..."

   "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take care of this **** when I get back. Children's marriages have always been ordered by their parents, so there is no reason to make their own decisions."

   "Okay, Gu will give him another chance, and hope that he will find his way back."

  Qin Qiong dismissed and hurried back to Qinrenfang.

  As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see that Qin Lang had come back before him, and was talking happily with his wife, Cui Shi.

In fact, it was also the first time for Qin Lang to see the wife of the head of Qinrenfang, Cui Shi. Although this Cui Shi married into the Qin family at the age of 30 and had a son and a daughter after a few years of marriage, but look... It looks really well maintained and has a great temperament. When she spoke to Qin Lang, she kept a very good sense of proportion, which made people feel very comfortable.

Qin Lang is now the Duke of Yi, Shangzhu Kingdom, and holds several positions. He is very promising. Cui Shi also showed great courtesy and respect to this concubine son. Qin Lang, he is also a person who set up another family anyway. Come back Just treat him as a guest, so Cui Shi respected him three feet, and he gave him back one foot.

  He was originally a salesman in later generations, and he was very good at talking in scenes, so the two had a good chat.

   "Aye."

  Qin Lang stepped forward to greet Qin Qiong.

  Qin Qiong just snorted coldly and ignored him, "I'm going to change clothes." He said to Cui Shi.

   After taking a shower and changing into a light, breathable and cold silk shirt, Qin Qiong's complexion was still very ugly.

   "Nizi, kneel down!"

  The Cui family did not expect her husband to be so angry, so she immediately said, "Sanlang is now a dignified prince, and he is not a child. If you have something to say, talk about it."

  Qin Qiong sat on the couch, sighing again and again.

   "It's my son as long as he is the Duke of the state, I can't control it anymore? The son didn't teach, it's the father's fault, look at what he looks like now? Let me ask you, why did you refuse the prince's marriage offer in the palace?"

   "Qi Dafei is not a couple, he dare not climb the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix."

   "Is this a reason? What kind of reason is this?" Qin Qiong was angry.

   "If the princess marries into the Qin family, Aye, you will still have to greet him in the future." Qin Lang replied, of course the real reason for refusal is not this, it's only part of the reason.

  The Qin family is now highly praised by Li Shimin, so high that even the eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Chigong, etc. are far behind, especially Qin Lang, who was only sixteen and has already been named Duke.

  Qin Lang was afraid of being flattered and killed. Li Shimin might not have meant it, but he was afraid of such a situation.

Of course, there is another important reason for refusing to marry, "Aye, Princess Danyang is not bad for the prince's younger sister, but she is the daughter of the one in Taiji Palace. Aye, although you are extremely trusted by the prince, don't forget that you are also the prince's daughter." I have always been valued by that person, if I favor Danyang, I'm afraid it will make this relationship more complicated, and when I get married, someone with a heart will use this to frame my father and son, and the Qin family will be in danger!"

   There is a reason for Qin Lang to say this. If he is far away, he can only talk about his son-in-law Chai Shao. He has won the trust of Li Yuan, and now he is guarded by Li Shimin.

  Qin Qiong sighed, "But you think that the matter of giving a marriage is so simple. You can give a marriage at will, and you can refuse it at will? Have you thought about the consequences?"

   "I also know that this is a bit inappropriate, but I know that the crown prince is not such a fool as Yang Guang, and he will never really convict him because of this matter." Qin Lang said seriously.
