"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou entered the hall, first met with Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue, and then looked at the young man behind them.
The man was wearing blue attire, tall and tall, with an imposing manner. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qin Wenzheng's, and he had a unique temperament of a warrior. He was also looking at him at this time.
Qin Chuan hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Qingzhou, this is the eldest brother. The eldest brother usually practices hard in the academy and has a hard time coming out. I came out specifically to see you tonight."
Luo Qingzhou quickly cupped his hands and said, "Qingzhou pays homage to eldest brother."
Qin Lang looked at him again, and Fang nodded and said: "I heard that you won the first place in the examination in Mocheng, which is very good. I hope that you can also go to high school in the spring of next year. By then, our Qin family will have a literary If you have martial arts, you won’t be bullied.”
After a few more words of encouragement, he said hello to Nangong Meijiao, then looked at Qin Wenzheng and his wife and said, "Dad, mother, let's have dinner. My second brother and I have to rush back to the college in the evening, and we still have to do our homework tonight. Not done yet.”
Song Ruyue suddenly became a little unhappy and said: "After finally coming back, can't you stay for one night? It's okay to take a day off. Even if you want to practice, you're not in a hurry. Mother hasn't seen you for a long time, Jianjia. He and Weimo almost don’t recognize you anymore.”
Qin Lang sighed and said: "Now is a critical period. My child is about to graduate. His grades will be graded then, so we can't relax. Mother, please forgive me. I will come back to spend more time with you after my child graduates."
Song Ruyue wanted to say something else, but Qin Wenzheng said from the side: "Okay, let's go eat. The children's studies are the most important thing. We are both in Kyoto, and it's not that far away. If we want to meet each other in the future, we have plenty of time."
Song Ruyue muttered, feeling a little aggrieved, so she had no choice but to walk to the dining room next to her and order the maid to serve the food.
Second Miss Qin walked up to Luo Qingzhou and whispered: "Brother Qingzhou, go and call sister to come in for dinner."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, but before he spoke, Nangong Meijiao next to him said, "I'll shout."
Miss Qin Er grabbed her and said, "Sister Meijiao, I have something to ask you. Let's go over there first."
Nangong Meijiao frowned, looked at someone again, and then followed her to the dining room.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to go out and came to the corridor. He looked at the snow-white figure and said, "Miss, let's go in for dinner."
Miss Qin was wearing a snow-white dress and a snow-white fox fur. She was standing alone at the railing, quietly looking at the falling snowflakes outside.
The wind blew, and a few snowflakes flew in and fell on her flawless face, but she remained motionless like a wooden sculpture, with no expression on her face.
"Miss."
Luo Qingzhou took a few steps closer and shouted again.
Only then did Qin Jianjia come to her senses, turned her head, and looked at him with eyes as clear as water.
"Let's go in and eat."
Luo Qingzhou said softly.
Qin Jianjia glanced at him for a few times, then walked into the house without saying a word.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind.
At the corner of the corridor, a head popped out, looking at him with dark and smart eyes: "Uncle, remember to take good care of the young lady."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and asked, "Where is Chanchan?"
The head immediately retracted, and then pushed a person out of the corner.
Xia Chan was dressed in a light green dress and holding a sword in her hand. She was pushed out nervously and looked at him.
Bai Ling hugged her slender waist from behind and said, "Uncle, have you missed Chanchan since I haven't seen you in a while?"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her, looked at Xia Chan and said, "You are too thin. Come inside to get warmer."
Bai Ling immediately said happily: "Chanchan, let's go in and play. It's really cold outside."
Then he sighed and said, "Hey, people are scared when they think of sleeping alone on a cold quilt at night. Chanchan, can we take off our clothes and sleep together tonight?"
Xia Chan ignored her.
Luo Qingzhou entered the house and followed Miss Qin to the dining room.
"Qing Zhou, come and sit here."
Qin Chuan immediately pulled him, sat next to him, and asked with concern: "How have you been studying lately? I heard from Wei Mo that you study at home all day long and rarely go out, so don't ruin your health from studying. . Are you still practicing the Thunderbolt Boxing that my second brother taught you before? It can strengthen your body."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I practice occasionally."
Qin Lang, who was on the side, frowned when he heard this and said: "Second brother, how can you teach Qingzhou Ben Lei Fist to strengthen his body? He has no basic skills. Practicing this kind of skill will only hurt the body."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Brother, it's okay. I don't practice often. I just remember and practice occasionally."
Qin Lang suddenly said seriously: "No matter what you do, you must be serious. Since you want to exercise, how can you just practice occasionally? Naturally, you must practice often. If your health is not good, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi in the future, you will not be able to afford it. Busy tasks. Taking good care of your body is responsible for you, your family, and even more so the country. Since you have decided to take the Jinshi exam and become an official in the court, you naturally have to make preparations in advance."
Qin Wenzheng on the opposite side said quickly: "Lang'er, let's eat. It's hard to come back. This is the first time you and Qingzhou have met. Let's talk about common things at home and don't go too far."
Qin Lang frowned and said: "Dad, he will take the imperial examination in the future, so he will naturally serve the court. I just asked him to make some preparations in advance."
After a pause, he continued: "Dad took the initiative to resign from the title. Actually, I don't agree with it. But since he has resigned, forget it. We will definitely bring the Qin family back to glory in the future. I hope everyone in the Qin family A man will be loyal and patriotic from now on, working hard to revitalize his family and make the country strong, instead of just sitting in his position and failing to fulfill his responsibilities."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent for a moment.
"Ahem..."
At this time, Miss Qin suddenly coughed several times.
Qiu'er, who was standing behind her, quickly took out a handkerchief and put it to her mouth.
Song Ruyue's expression changed and she hurriedly shouted to the maid at the door: "Hurry up and close all the windows! Are all of them dead? There is no wink at all!"
Several maids immediately closed the door and looked at the window.
The windows have long been closed.
Second Miss Qin coughed lightly again, and Fang said softly: "Mom, I'm fine, I didn't cough up blood."
As he spoke, he showed her the handkerchief in his hand.
Song Ruyue had a distressed expression on her face and asked quickly: "Meijiao, are those medicines ready?"
Nangong Meijiao nodded and said: "Everything is ready. Today I will go to Prince Duan's Mansion and bring back the morning dew from the Xuantian Jade Green Tree."
Only then did Song Ruyue feel relieved and said, "I'll make the medicine after dinner. Wei Mo has a body like this, so we can't delay."
Qin Chuan asked: "Mother, how effective is the medicine?"
Song Ruyue said: "The effect is very good. After taking it last time, Weimo didn't cough again for more than half a month."
Qin Wenzheng said: "Thanks to Qingzhou for this matter."
Several people chatted about Miss Qin Er's condition, and also talked about the last time they went to Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple to seek medicine, which diluted the somewhat solid atmosphere just now.
Song Ruyue spoke with gusto. Just when she was about to talk about Luo Qingzhou showing off his power to conquer the monks at Jinchan Temple, Miss Qin suddenly interrupted her and said: "Mother, let's eat quickly. The eldest brother and the second brother are waiting. I have to rush back to the academy soon, so we can talk about these things when we have time."
Song Ruyue could only stop proudly.
Qin Lang said with concern: "Wei Mo, take medicine to maintain your health first, and I will find a way to find a good doctor. I will definitely help you cure your disease, so don't worry too much."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Thank you, brother."
Everyone lowered their heads and ate for a while.
Qin Lang looked at Miss Qin next to her again and asked: "Jianjia, do you read at home every day? Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Qin Jianjia lowered her head slightly, looking at the food Miss Qin Er had given her in the bowl, in a daze, as if she hadn't heard what he said.
The table fell silent.
Qin Lang looked at her, waited for a while, frowned slightly, and looked at the others.
Song Ruyue's face was full of sorrow, and she shook her head at him, indicating that he should stop asking.
Qin Lang looked at Qin Wenzheng beside him and whispered: "Dad, is there something wrong with Jian Jia's body?"
Qin Wenzheng glanced at his daughter, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and did not answer.
Qin Lang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jianjia, what do you like? I'll bring it to you when my elder brother comes back next time, okay?"
Miss Qin was still looking down at the food in the bowl, in a daze, as if she still hadn't heard what he said.
Miss Qin Er glanced at her, stretched out her hand under the table, and held her hand.
Qin Lang's face was full of worry and he said: "Dad, mother, didn't you introduce the marriage to Jian Jia? I think it might be better if Jian Jia gets married and has someone to accompany her, or has a child."
Qin Wenzheng drank in silence and said nothing.
Song Ruyue sighed and said, "I really can't find a suitable candidate, and my mother is also worried."
Qin Lang looked at his sister again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Jian Jia is so beautiful, I don't have to worry about getting married. In this way, I have a few good friends in the college. Although they have ordinary family backgrounds, they are not ordinary people. They are all pretty good, and they are not married yet. When I have time next time, I will bring them to my home to have a look."
Qin Wenzheng raised his head and was about to speak when Miss Qin suddenly said, "Brother, don't bother me. I think it's fine for my sister to be at home, as long as we are with her."
Qin Lang frowned and said: "Wei Mo, women always have to get married, and you can't stay with Jian Jia for the rest of your life. Don't worry, the people I'm looking for are very good."
Miss Qin Er was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, I think you should ask your sister for her opinion first."
Just as Qin Lang was about to speak, Miss Qin Er looked to the side and asked, "Sister, are you willing to go on a blind date?"
Miss Qin then raised her head, faced everyone's gaze, and shook her head slightly.
Qin Lang asked: "Jianjia, why don't you want to? The men introduced to you by my elder brother are all excellent, and they will never bully you."
Miss Qin looked at him with a cold expression. She was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I don't like men."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly changed.
There was sudden silence in the hall.
Luo Qingzhou was also stunned, and his mind unconsciously thought of every detail he had with Miss Qin in the past.
No wonder she has always been so cold to him. It turns out...
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Ling, who was eavesdropping at the door.
Bai Ling met his eyes, blinked her big eyes, and suddenly said angrily: "Uncle, why are you looking at me? There is nothing wrong between me and the lady. Don't slander me!"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Ahem, eat, eat."
Qin Wenzheng broke the awkward atmosphere and invited everyone to eat.
Second Miss Qin held back her laughter, picked up some vegetables, put them in Miss Qin's bowl, and said softly: "Sister, eat the vegetables."
Song Ruyue's face turned pale and she was still in a daze.
Qin Lang glanced at her and fell silent, not daring to speak anymore.
Perhaps he now understands why the son-in-law whom Jian Jia hired suddenly became Wei Mo's husband.
What happened in the years when Jian Jia was abducted?
So that even her most basic orientation has changed?
He didn't dare, couldn't bear to imagine, let alone ask any more questions, so he had to lower his head and eat in silence.
Maybe he did talk too much tonight.
Sometimes, the so-called care is not actually caring, but adding salt to other people's wounds, or tearing open the wounds that others are about to repair.
As the eldest brother, he didn't help her at all. He just came back today and mentioned her sadness again.
Qin Lang felt very guilty. After eating a few more bites, he immediately stood up and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, saying, "Second brother, it's time for us to leave."
Song Ruyue was now in a state of despair, still sitting there motionless.
Qin Lang glanced at her distressedly, but did not dare to say anything more and went out with Qin Chuan.
Qin Wenzheng took the others and sent the two out of the door.
When he walked outside the gate, Qin Langfang stopped, turned his head, glanced into the room, forced a smile, and comforted in a low voice: "Dad, it's okay, you don't need to worry too much. In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. There are also many women, like Jianjia, who just want to... Hey, as long as she is fine, let her stay at home. Maybe it will be better if you take her out for a walk more often."
Qin Wenzheng nodded and warned: "You and Chuan'er practice well in the academy and don't cause trouble. With Qingzhou and me at home, you don't have to worry."
Qin Lang looked at the young man behind him, paused, and said: "Qing Zhou, take good care of Wei Mo and the people at home, and exercise more. When elder brother has time, he will come back and teach you some boxing techniques to strengthen your body. Don't do it normally. Always stay at home and study hard, but also go out more and make more friends. In the future, when you are an official in the court, one more friend will be one more help. Also, don't miss the land of fireworks, scholars can be romantic, But you must have a sense of responsibility, remember.”
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you big brother for your teaching. Qingzhou will definitely keep it in mind."
Qin Lang looked at his sister again and said: "Wei Mo, please try to persuade my mother more when we get back. I guess she won't find out until tonight. As long as Jianjia is fine, everything else is fine. Tell her not to think too much, so as not to hurt her body." "
Qin Weimo said softly: "Well, the eldest brother and the second brother should not be too tired. Weimo feels that as long as the family is safe, even if the life is ordinary, they will be very happy."
Qin Lang smiled, waved to everyone, walked down the steps with Qin Chuan, took the reins from the servant, and got on his horse.
"gone!"
The two brothers looked at everyone again and rode off.
Qin Wenzheng stood on the steps, silently watching the two brothers' quickly retreating figures, until they disappeared into the alley, Fang said with a complicated expression: "Weimo, your eldest brother..."
"The eldest brother is already an adult. It is normal to have his own ideas and ambitions."
Miss Qin Er interrupted him.
Qin Wenzheng sighed and said: "Longhu Academy belongs to the imperial court, so it will naturally teach them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but..."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Dad, Longhu Academy is not only for the imperial court, but also for Dayan. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is not just loyalty to a certain person, but loyalty to the monarch who benefits the people of Dayan. What's wrong with this? wrong?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Wei Mo still understands thoroughly, dad is not as good as you."
Then he looked at Luo Qingzhou behind him and said: "Qingzhou, your elder brother is a bit pedantic. Don't think too much about what you just said. You can do whatever you want, and our family will support you. During this time, there have been ups and downs. I got here because of you, if we don’t believe in you, who else can we believe in?”
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Qin Wenzheng walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Has the eldest princess sent someone to contact you recently?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said: "Not yet."
When Qin Wenzheng heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Let's go into the house. It's cold outside. Your body..."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted his shoulder, paused, and suddenly grabbed his arm again, looking at him again.
Luo Qingzhou explained: "I have been exercising a lot recently, so my body has become stronger."
Qin Wenzheng let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Yes. You should exercise regularly. After all, you have a lot to do."
After saying that, he patted his shoulder again and entered the gate.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and met the eyes of Second Miss Qin.
The couple looked at each other, held hands silently, and followed him into the house.
in the hall.
Song Ruyue was still sitting there, staring blankly at Miss Qin who was also sitting there blankly.
Mother and daughter were motionless, both in a daze.
