In the fifth year of Zhenguan, October 29th, no time, Lantian County, Qin Mansion, restaurant
In the Qin Mansion restaurant, Qin Ming looked speechlessly at Cheng Yaojin and others who were still holding dishes in their mouths.
It has been almost an hour since we had lunch at noon. In the restaurant, servants are constantly taking away clean plates and putting dishes on the table.
As a landlord, Qin Ming was ready to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. However, after the meal, Cheng Yaojin basically didn't drink much at all, he kept eating and didn't even say a few words.
This also made Qin Ming feel slightly relieved. Fortunately, he didn't drink too much today.
Just when Qin Ming was thinking about whether to go to the backyard to see Empress Changsun and the others.
Cheng Yaojin suddenly put down his chopsticks, leaned on the chair, looked at Qin Ming with some displeasure and said:
"My dear nephew, do you need an explanation from your uncles?"
After hearing this, everyone else put down their chopsticks and looked at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Ming curiously.
Qin Ming was a little stunned by what he said. He didn't know what Lu Guogong meant. He looked at everyone present and looked confused, so he said to Cheng Yaojin:
"Uncle Cheng, where did you say this? Could it be that my nephew did not treat him well?"
Cheng Yaojin snorted angrily:
"Humph, you kid is so ignorant. You have such good food at home, but you don't know how to respect your elders. You are still waiting for your uncles to tell you. Shouldn't you give them an explanation?"
Qin Qiong and others heard this and expressed their deep agreement. After all, it was the first time for them to eat such delicious food, and of course they hoped to eat it every day.
Since the Prince of Hejian County had dealt with Qin Ming once, he also echoed:
"Yes, my nephew is not my uncle. We have known each other for a long time, right? You really did something wrong and you have to give us an explanation."
When Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling heard this, they couldn't help rolling their eyes. They really blushed for these people. However, they did not speak for Qin Ming. They each leaned on their chairs to see how Qin Ming would respond.
Qin Ming already roughly understood what Cheng Yaojin meant. He was interested in the cook in his house.
But these meals were all cooked by Wan'er herself, so there was no way they could be taken away no matter what.
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Uncles, my nephew has indeed neglected this point.
Today's meals are all cooked by my personal maid.
If uncles like to eat, they can ask the cook from the house to come to my house and learn from Wan'er for a few days. "
Cheng Yaojin was very satisfied when he heard this, and then said:
"Well, you're a sensible kid. Remember to have good things next time, but remember to respect your elders, you know?"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded:
"My nephew knows, thank you Uncle Cheng for your teaching."
After speaking, Qin Ming picked up the wine glass next to him and said:
"My nephew, here's a toast to you."
Cheng Yaojin laughed and had a drink with Qin Ming.
At this time, Li Shimin on the side remembered the "Serving the Country with Loyalty" written by Qin Ming that morning, so he said to Qin Ming who had just sat down:
"My dear nephew, I haven't heard you sing that song yet. It just so happens that the few people here are generals who have led troops on the battlefield. There are no outsiders now, why don't you sing it and let us listen."
Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty... I must sing a song. This song is so suitable for me, Old Cheng. It was almost specially composed for me, Old Cheng."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes when he heard this and said to himself, this is obviously written to me.
However, it was not easy for him to argue with Cheng Yaojin about this matter.
On the other hand, Niu Jinda, who had not had any dealings with Qin Ming before, hardly spoke after entering the house.
At this time, after listening to the words of Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin, he became energetic. Although he was a military commander, he came from a scholarly family and was also very keen on listening to music.
And after hearing the name Jingzhong Baoguo, I became even more curious about this song.
So he said:
"My dear nephew, you might as well sing and listen, so that the uncles can taste it together."
Prince Hejian, Duke Yi and Fang Xuanling also looked at him expectantly.
Qin Ming felt a little drunk at this time, and thought about the identities of the people present.
He couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart. He slapped the table and stood up, pouring himself another glass of wine.
He raised it and said:
"Okay, if that's the case, then my nephew will make a fool of himself."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the cup and howled loudly:
"When the smoke rises, the country looks north... In twenty years, who can resist... How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places... The great China wants to congratulate everyone from all over the world."
Qin Ming's voice was instantly ignited, and the enthusiasm in the bodies of those present seemed to bring them back to the war-torn years.
Gradually everyone stood up, and after listening to Qin Ming sing it once, they also started howling.
Qingwan, who had been cooking in the kitchen, and Yang Zijun, who had been helping, heard the noise and left the kitchen together.
At the door, they saw Qin Ming standing among a group of people, singing loudly. The heroic singing voice reached their ears, and Qin Ming's appearance at this moment was deeply engraved in their hearts.
Zhangsun and his party, who also entered the courtyard at some unknown time, were also attracted by the sight of people singing in the restaurant.
Queen Changsun looked at the people in the room and listened to the singing coming from the room, and the corners of her eyes slowly became moist.
After so many years, it seemed that this was the first time I saw such indulgence on Erlang's face since he ascended the throne.
It seemed that after the eldest grandson changed, he saw Erlang again wearing a battle armor and a sword around his waist, standing in front of thousands of troops.
It was as if at this moment he had turned into that young boy who was so excited that he couldn't sleep when he heard about the war.
But Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang next to them had expressions of disbelief on their faces. One is that they have never seen such a bohemian father. In their eyes, their father has always been majestic and loving.
Secondly, he didn't expect that Qin Ming was standing among a group of important ministers and generals of the court. Instead of blocking the light, he was made to look particularly young and handsome.
Unknowingly, they were all looking in a daze.
Princess Yuzhang looked at the fifth sister beside her. From the bright eyes of the fifth sister, she seemed to see little stars.
Then he looked at Qin Ming in the restaurant, standing on a chair, waving his arms, and singing.
At this moment, she understood why Fifth Sister liked him.
Empress Changsun came here because she was worried that Li Shimin and the others would get into trouble if they drank too much. When she came in and saw everyone in such a state, she did not come forward to disturb them, but led the group of people back to Qin Ming's study.
The singing in the restaurant went on for a long time
