Wind and Rain Empire

Anqing government office

Qin Zhong introduced Lan Xueyi to the banquet, and it happened that the banquet had already been set up, and there were six people sitting in the inner hall

Qin Zhong bowed his hands towards those present

"Because of the little girl, I really neglected everyone, please forgive me."

The six people waved their hands at Qin Zhong one after another.

"There are many things for noble people, so it's okay for adults."

"Since it is the matter of Master Qin's daughter, it should be the first priority."

Qin Zhong introduced Lan Xueyi to those people

"Everyone, General Dingyuan General Lan came to our place today and saved my daughter Qin Xiangrong who fell into the river on the way. Qin must thank you very much."

Six people applaud in unison

Lan Xueyi was a little embarrassed, and bowed to everyone

"Have you seen the horse that everyone (pulls Qin Zhong, and asks in a low voice)?"

Qin Zhong also whispered to Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, we're just in time for dinner. Let's watch after we're done eating, and then look again (hands up to everyone, to Lan Xueyi) General, please take a seat (step up to the chairman)"

Seeing so many people, Lan Xueyi didn't feel like having a fit, so he had no choice but to sit down

Qin Zhong introduced Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, all of you present here are the leaders of wealthy businessmen in our Anqing Prefecture. They are Boss Ding, the shipbuilding tycoon (hand in hand), Boss Shi from the largest tea shop (hand in hand), and two of the largest restaurants, the Deng Brothers (hand in hand). ), and these two, one is Master Meng, a well-known dim sum master in the local area, and the other is Master Bai, the most famous chef in Anqing, under the Deng Brothers’ capable hands.”

Lan Xueyi doesn't care, and monologues in her heart

"I don't know anyone, it's none of my business to talk about it, why don't you hurry up and eat, let me see the horse after eating"

Qin Zhong raised his wine glass and said to Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, don't be fooled, it's always good to know more people"

Lan Xueyi copes with

"that is that is"

Qin Zhong raised his glass to everyone again

"Come on, everyone cheers"

Boss Ding looked at Lan Xueyi and asked

"General Lan is young, promising and talented. I wonder if he has married yet?"

Lan Xueyi froze for a moment, her inner monologue

"This question seems familiar, I have to change the answer (to Boss Ding) and then I have a wife."

Qin Zhong laughed

"The general is handsome and handsome. Of course he has a wife. I wonder if he has taken a concubine? If not, consider a daughter..."

Lan Xueyi's inner monologue

"I don't want that daughter of yours! (To Qin Zhong) I'm not afraid of your jokes, she already... already has a third concubine..."

Qin Zhong continued to answer the call

"Then you can also consider a fourth room."

"Uh... the main wife is very strict and said that she is not allowed to pay any more."

Lan Xueyi, who made up the story, almost laughed out loud

Everyone sighed in understanding, "Oh~~~"

Boss Shi vs. Lan Xueyi

"How can it be done? What if she won't let you take it? We men are free to take as many concubines as we men want. As a woman, she can bear it if she can bear it, and if she can't bear it, she will divorce her. She dares to ask us men , are they farts?"

Lan Xueyi was about to slap the table when she heard this, but was pressed down by Qin Zhong.

"General Lan, don't get angry. This Boss Shi is notoriously fearful of his own family. If he is afraid of his wife, he will just say something majestic. Don't talk to him."

Lan Xueyi smiled understandingly and raised his glass to drink

"How can this delicious food be accompanied by silk and bamboo? Everyone, let the little girl show her ugly face and play a piece of pipa for you. Xiangrong, come up."

Qin Zhong called into the room

Qin Xiangrong came up in elegant clothes with her pipa in her arms, and smiled shyly at Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi smiled back in embarrassment, then turned her head to one side, helplessly holding her forehead, and monologue in her heart

"Oh my God... I'd better go now"

Qin Xiangrong played "Yangchun Song", with proficient fingering, flowing clouds and flowing water, Lan Xueyi heard it very wonderfully, and her skills were not inferior to Zi Linglong, but her appearance and demeanor were still hard to look at

At the end of the song, when Qin Xiangrong finished playing and the banquet was over, the servants came up to pack the tableware, Qin Zhong pulled Lan Xueyi out of the room

Lan Xueyi wandered alone in the yard waiting for Qin Zhong

Qin Zhong brought a fine horse and handed the reins to Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, thank you for saving my little girl's life today, a mere horse is no respect"

Lan Xueyi looked at the steed

"Master Qin, this horse is a good horse, so you just gave it to me?"

Qin Zhong said frankly

"Xiaguan has been here in Anqing Mansion since he was born. He has been here for almost 60 years. I don't see any possibility of traveling far. The general is going to the capital?"

"Exactly, something urgent"

Qin Zhong asked slightly worried

"Could it be that the golden men invaded again? Could it be that they broke the city?"

Lan Xueyi smiles

"Master Qin is over-concerned. He is not a golden man, but just a personal matter of this general."

Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief

"Oh, that's good, that's good"

A strange man rolled over from the yard, ran up and shouted

"Master Qin, please marry Xiangrong to me!"

The servant ran up

"My lord, this kid runs fast and we didn't stop him for a while"

Qin Zhong pointed at the man and cursed

"Bastard, you caused my daughter to jump into the river for you. Who do you think you are? Can you give my daughter happiness? Do you have a car in Anqingtian? My daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, born to want As a queen, how can I marry you, don't you look in the mirror yourself?"

Lan Xueyi couldn't bear to hear it any longer, her inner monologue

"No, no, my lord, your daughter can't be a queen, I can assure you..."

The man swore

"The villain Mao Ziming is poor, but the villain is infatuated with your daughter, my lord. The world proves that the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

Lan Xueyi looked at Mao Ziming, monologue

"For you like her, the sun and the moon are indeed a lesson... (to Qin Zhong) Lord Qin, I think this person is so persistent in liking his daughter, and his daughter is falling in love with him. , why not fulfill the two of them?"

Qin Zhong clapped his hands and pointed at the man

"Hey, General Lan, this kid is poor, how can I give him my daughter for nothing?"

Lan Xueyi is self-evident to Mao Ziming

"You put your hand out"

Mao Ziming was very puzzled, and held out his hand suspiciously.

"You are..."

Lan Xueyi looked at Mao Ziming's hand and said to him

"If you take the exam this year, you will be able to go to high school"

Qin Zhong looked at Lan Xueyi, stared wide-eyed and asked

"Really?"

Mao Ziming also looked at Lan Xueyi and asked

"Really? Then I will take the exam in the spring."

Lan Xueyi vs Qin Zhong

"My lord, this general thinks it's better for you to make an engagement first. If he passes the exam, he will be snatched away by those gentlemen seeking a son-in-law."

Qin Zhong vs. Lan Xueyi

"If this is the case, Qin will fulfill his promise. If he fails the exam, he must give up my daughter."

Lan Xueyi is self-evident to Mao Ziming

"Well, since my lord has promised you, I will definitely count on it. You should work hard and look forward to your name on the apricot list next year."

Qin Xiangrong, who had been eavesdropping silently, ran out, hugged Mao Ziming, and was forcibly torn apart by Qin Zhong after a while

Qin Zhong pointed at Qin Xiangrong

"The two of you are not married yet, how decent is it to hug each other?"

Qin Xiangrong salutes Lan Xueyi

"Thank you, General, for persuading my father to make the two of us happy."

Lan Xueyi looked at Qin Zhong

"It's just a little effort (to Qin Zhong) Mr. Qin, I've stayed at your house for too long, and I still have something urgent to do, so let's go first."

Qin Zhong stuffed the horse's reins into Lan Xueyi's hands, and said

"General Lan, there will be a date later!"

Lan Xueyi hands up

"There will be a period later"

Immediately stepped on the horse and rode away

In the royal study

The emperor was looking at the memorial when Princess Yongping walked into the study softly and covered the emperor's eyes from behind

The emperor chuckled, and pushed away Princess Yongping's hand

"Stop making trouble with Yongping, I'm reading the memorial, where have you been these few days?"

Princess Yongping pouted, jumped and sat on the desk

"What's so interesting about the memorial! Erchen went out of the palace in a micro-clothes for a few days to play."

"Leaving the palace in a micro-service? Don't go out again next time, what if you run into any danger?"

Princess Yongping jumped off the table

"No, Royal Father! This time, the son-in-law brought back a big gift to Royal Father!"

The emperor looked at Yongping, feeling unbelievable, and laughed.

"Just you? Give me a big gift? Wait, didn't you find a son-in-law yourself?"

Princess Yongping spit quickly

"Bah, bah, bah! Father, you still don't believe it? You underestimate Erchen, don't you? Erchen caught King Xia's uncle Li Quanshan on the road."

The emperor looked carefully at Princess Yongping

"Li Quanshan? Heh! This is interesting (put down the memorial) and tell me how you caught him?"

"My son was sitting in a sedan chair and rushing back to the capital. He got out from nowhere, cut his way, and then kidnapped him."

emperor surprised

"What? He kidnapped you?"

Princess Yongping said in an indifferent tone

"Yes, but these are not important. The important thing is that an old gentleman surnamed Luo rescued Erchen later, and gave Li Quanshan acupoints to keep him drowsy, so that Erchen could help him. came back"

The emperor pondered for a moment, thinking

"Li Quanshan is now King Xia's uncle. Although he has usurped power, he is still a royal family. How should I deal with this matter?"

Princess Yongping Supplement

"Anyway, since he has fled to our Song Dynasty, he is a prisoner of our Song Dynasty. How to deal with it should be decided by our Song Dynasty. For his crime of treason, I feel that he should be executed on the spot. good"

"Although this is an option, I don't think it's appropriate. What if Xia Guo finds out about this? He will definitely ask us for an explanation."

Princess Yongping patted the emperor on the shoulder

"Father, no one knows what you don't say. Besides, who dares to say it?"

"Yongping, where is Li Quanshan and others now?"

Princess Yongping walks around in the imperial study

"I'm locked up in the prison of Dali Temple. I'm still asleep. I'm sleeping soundly."

"Still asleep?"

Princess Yongping nodded

"Yeah, I fell asleep all the time when no one relieved the acupoint."

"Then what kind of person is that Mr. Luo who acupointed him?"

Princess Yongping thinks back

"Uh... an old man with white hair and wearing ordinary brown clothes, but he looks very energetic, like a master of Taoism!"

emperor lost in thought

"Father, I heard that you locked Aunt Linglong in the prison of Dali Temple? Why?"

The emperor looked up at Princess Yongping

"Why, you haven't heard of it yet?"

Princess Yongping shook her head and said

"No, what happened to her? Aren't my sons and daughters out of the palace these days, where did you hear about it?"

"She wants to escape from the palace to meet her parents, but she doesn't want to stay in the palace any longer."

Princess Yongping looked at the emperor with big eyes

"Then demote her to a commoner and let her go back."

The emperor flicked Princess Yongping on the forehead

"You said it lightly. If everyone is like her, wouldn't there be no one in the harem?"

Princess Yongping stepped forward and put her arm around the emperor

"Oh my father! Not everyone is like her. Think about it. You also said that she has been homeless for a long time and never went back to see her parents. She must be thinking about it."

"Hey, I have stayed in the palace for so long, why don't I miss my parents? There are other concubines"

"Father, look, let's not talk about you, the son-in-law was with the father and mother. Father, you have lived with the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager since you were young. Of course you don't want to live for so long. Concubine De, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Gui, Concubine Xian and even Concubine Chen were all sent into the palace by their parents. With her son by her side, only Aunt Linglong was alone. Except for her father and Sister Xueyi, she had no relatives in the harem, and Sister Xueyi was at the border again. She would not come back for many years, and it would only take two days to come back. Sometimes you don't even enter the imperial palace, do you think Aunt Linglong doesn't want to go home?"

The emperor suddenly realized when he heard it

"Yongping, what you said is very reasonable, I have never considered these things"

Princess Yongping continued

"Father, look, Yongping is bored in the palace and wants to go out to have fun with his family by his side, not to mention Aunt Linglong who has no family by her side, how boring it is to spend all day embroidering, playing the piano and eating snacks in the palace. .So father, you might as well let her go."

The emperor looked at a pile of memorials on the desk, his eyes were empty

"Well, I did ignore her mood (turning point) but Yongping, I really like your Aunt Linglong very much. She is the first woman I've ever been attracted to at the first sight since I came to power. I really don't like it. Willing to let her go"

Princess Yongping draped the emperor's shoulders and asked seriously

"Father, do you want the person you like to be sad all day long?"

"...I don't want it"

"Father, have you ever seen Auntie Linglong laughing happily?"

The emperor remembered for a while

"Uh...it doesn't seem to be"

Princess Yongping smiles

"My son has seen it before!"

The emperor's puzzled question

"You? When did you meet?"

"I saw it at Sister Xueyi's house. She hadn't entered the palace at that time."

the emperor thoughtful

"I understand. You mean to let me let her go and let her continue to live happily."

Princess Yongping laughed and pinched the emperor's face

"Father, do you understand?"

The emperor smiled slightly at Princess Yongping, and then heaved a long sigh
