Queen Changsun smiled and said:
"Auntie just wants to apologize to you!"
The fact that Qin Ming was assassinated by Chang Sun Chong or Chang Sun Huan was not spread to the court, so neither Fang Xuanling, Duan Lun nor Li Chengqian brothers knew why Queen Chang Sun wanted to apologize to Qin Ming.
But Qin Ming instantly understood what Changsun meant. He quickly saluted Queen Changsun and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. That matter has passed, and Wei Chen doesn't take it to heart."
When Queen Changsun heard this, she sighed inwardly.
"My dear nephew, my aunt will give you an explanation for this matter."
Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the strange looks from the people around him.
"Auntie, you are worrying too much.
After speaking, Qin Ming lowered his head and glanced at the table filled with various delicacies, and said with a wry smile:
"Auntie, if you keep doing this, my nephew will have to go home hungry."
When Queen Changsun heard this, she felt a little better. Judging from Qin Ming's attitude, she thought there would still be a chance to repair the relationship between him and the Changsun family.
"Okay, my dear nephew, you can have your meal first."
After saying this, Empress Changsun Shi Shiran walked back to the throne.
Everyone present except Li Er looked at each other in confusion.
In the end, it was Li Er who broke the awkward atmosphere in the hall and chatted with everyone about the specific matters of the Road and Bridge Division.
.......
Qin Ming sat on the carriage returning home and let out a long breath.
Today's trip to the palace was quite successful, and all the little plans I had in mind were fulfilled.
Although there will be some busyness in the future, as my grandfather said, if you want to live well in this world, you cannot just have money, you must also have power.
Otherwise, no matter how rich a person is, in the eyes of the powerful, he is just a pig that can be slaughtered at any time.
But once he has real power and can decide the interests of many people, even if Li Er wants to touch him, he has to weigh the consequences.
Of course, for now, a small bridge company cannot reach this step, but what about in the future?
Not to mention whether he can get a bigger official position in the future, even if it is just in the Bridge Department.
In a few years, when cement roads are being built everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Ming will have the connections and secret agents who use his position to spread out throughout the Tang Dynasty.
It can invisibly increase his weight in the hearts of Li Er and the courtiers.
Of course, those are things for later. The most important thing now is to establish the bridge department first, and then start building the cement road from Chang'an to Lantian.
In this way, I believe that it won't be long before Qin Ming can give some color to those noble families who want to send him to the battlefield.
As for Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong, Qin Ming is not in a hurry now. After all, at this time, if something happens to Changsun Chong, he will be the first to be suspected by Changsun Wuji.
Why not just wait for the opportunity!
A few moments
The carriage slowly stopped at Xingdaofang, the gate of Qin Mansion.
As soon as Qin Ming got off the carriage, Xiao Qingwan and Sishe were already running down the steps at the door.
Xiao Qingwan waited at home until Youshi but did not see Qin Ming come back, so she took Sishe and waited for Qin Ming at the door of the house. After waiting for more than two hours, she finally saw the young master's carriage.
So Xiao Qingwan happily ran down the steps and walked to Qin Ming.
Xiao Qingwan stared at her moist peach blossom eyes and looked Qin Ming up and down carefully. She was relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about Qin Ming. The voice was crying:
"Sir, you are finally back. Wan'er is almost worried to death at home."
Qin Ming smiled at Xiao Qingwan, rubbed her head and said:
"Didn't I tell you that I might come back later?"
Xiao Qingwan curled her lips, rubbed the corner of her clothes and said:
"How did I know that it would be so late? It's already Haishi. Besides, the young master was assassinated just a few days ago. I'm really a little scared."
"My lord, next time you enter the palace, can you bring your slave with you? Even if you ask your slave to wait for you at the gate of the palace, that's fine."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded:
"Okay, I will definitely take you with me next time I enter the palace."
Soon several people entered the mansion, and Qin Ming asked:
"Wan'er, have you had dinner?"
The snake on the side heard this and said bitterly:
"Not yet, Wan'er said that we would eat together when you come back."
When Qin Ming heard this, he glanced at Xiao Qingwan with some distress, and then said softly:
"It just so happens that the young master is also a little hungry, so let's go eat first."
As he spoke, Qin Ming also said to Yin Hu and Chen Long, who were escorting him all the way back:
"You have all worked hard today. Come along."
Yin Hu and Chen Long looked at each other, bowed and said:
"I would like to thank you, Master."
A few moments,
The group of people sat at the Qin Mansion's unique round table and ate.
It was the first time for Chenlong and Yinhu to have dinner with Qin Ming, so they were somewhat cautious.
Qin Ming put vegetables on his plate and smiled at the two of them and said:
"You don't have to be restrained. Eat more. There will be many times when we eat together in the future. If you don't get enough to eat every time you act like little girls, how can you protect me?"
After hearing this, the two people immediately put down their chopsticks and stood up, patting their chests and promising to protect Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded slightly, pressed his hands and said:
"Sit down quickly."
After the two of them sat down, Qin Ming thought about it and looked at Chen Long, who was relatively calm, and said:
"Chenlong, there is something you and Sishe need to do."
Chenlong and Sishe heard this and were about to get up again, but Qin Ming quickly stopped him and said:
"You all sit down. In our own house, there are not so many rules. You can just chat while you eat."
Chenlong and Yinhu were deeply moved when they heard this. Since they joined the Qin Mansion's escort team, their family's life has become countless times better than before.
Moreover, every once in a while, the Qin family would send various kinds of meat and precious vegetables to their family. This was a day that the two of them had never dreamed of before.
Moreover, since Qin Ming was granted the title of Lantian County Male, all of them, the members of the escort team, have become the food of the Qin Mansion.
Qin Ming became the master of himself and others.
Now the master does not dislike their identities at all. Not only does he eat at the same table with them, but he is also so polite to them. How can they not be moved by this?
For a moment, Chenlong and Yinhu felt their eyes sore. They lowered their heads slightly to hide the tears that were almost coming to their eyes.
Sishe on the side didn't think so much. She put vegetables into the bowl and asked:
"Yes, sir, what exactly is going on?"
Qin Ming smiled and said to Si She:
"When I come to Chang'an this time, in addition to going to the palace to meet the saint, I originally wanted to visit Uncle Cheng and the others, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to go because I have something to do."
"So I need you two to take my invitation and go to these houses to deliver the gifts prepared by our house and my letters one by one."
Hearing this, Sishe swallowed the food in her mouth and patted her plump chest, causing a wave of excitement.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring the letters and gifts."
Qin Ming just looked at it and quickly looked away.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
【Tong Y giant R! Why, I haven’t noticed this before! 】
