The dinner was sumptuous.
Because the Taikang Feast will be held tomorrow, all colleges are on holiday.
Qin Chuan and Qin Lang came back together.
The family sits together to eat and enjoy themselves.
Miss Qin, who never liked the excitement, was pulled out by Song Ruyue herself.
During the meal, Qin Chuan kept talking about things in the college enthusiastically, and it seemed that he was doing well in the college.
Qin Lang sat next to him and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou also remained silent.
Qin Chuan talked for a while, then looked at him and asked, "Qingzhou, it's spring next year. How are you doing studying at home? Are you sure you'll pass the exam?"
Luo Qingzhou replied: "Fortunately, there should be no problem."
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "That's good. On the day you pass the exam, my second brother will personally lead your horse. Let's play gongs and drums and walk around the entire capital to show off."
Song Ruyue on the side rolled her eyes at him and said, "You like to show off, but Qingzhou keeps a low profile."
Then he glanced at someone again and said: "If you are an ordinary Jinshi, forget it, lest you bump into someone else's number one scholar, that would be embarrassing."
Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Mother, maybe the number one scholar is Qing Zhou."
Song Ruyue immediately said: "If it's a green boat, I'll lead the horse!"
Qin Chuan laughed.
Qin Lang on the side also had a smile on his face.
Everyone in the Qin family and the maids waiting nearby also laughed.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
When we talk about next year’s spring, we naturally talk about tomorrow’s Taikang Feast.
Song Ruyue whispered: "I heard people say in the shop that this Taikang feast, princes from five countries came to participate, as well as five sects. It is said that the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor will take the opportunity to choose a consort for the eldest princess..."
Qin Chuan said: "I also heard about it in the college. Everyone in the college, from teachers to students, are very excited. They can't wait to participate."
At this time, Qin Lang, who had been silent for a long time, said: "The Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor should already have a candidate in mind, but they still have to pass a fair competition, and there may be a result."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "This is the right thing. If we don't let everyone see a fair competition, I guess most people in Dayan will disagree. After all, the eldest princess's prestige is too high, and she has made so many contributions to Dayan over the years. , Life-long events cannot be taken lightly.”
Song Ruyue had heard a lot of gossip in the inner city recently and said: "I heard that in addition to the princes from the five countries, the candidates for this time also include talented disciples from the five major sects, and the eldest princess may have to personally Here’s a question.”
Qin Chuan said: "The teacher at the academy said that the eldest princess may compete in martial arts. With the eldest princess's strength, it is estimated that she needs to be at least a martial artist in the early stage of the great martial arts to have any hope. The eldest princess is a warrior, and she probably won't like the weak. literati."
Song Ruyue said: "That's not necessarily true. The more powerful and domineering a woman is, the more she may like the kind of soft and weak scholar."
Qin Chuan did not dare to argue with her and said, "Anyway, there should be many tests, and it will definitely be exciting."
Song Ruyue said excitedly: "Fortunately, we can also go into the palace to see it. Thanks to Qingzhou, we were invited."
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "It should be because of my eldest brother."
Qin Lang laughed at the side and said: "It has nothing to do with me. The Holy One has specified that you should be invited. The five princes also brought many talents and warriors from their countries. They may compete with each other to add to the fun, so naturally you are indispensable."
Song Ruyue held the little hand of Miss Qin beside her and said: "Jianjia, you can go too tomorrow, okay? The palace is very beautiful and lively. There are all kinds of food and things to play. It's better than just waiting in the desert all by yourself." It’s better to be at home.”
Qin Lang also said at the side: "Jianjia, let's go together tomorrow. It's not good to stay at home all the time."
Miss Qin shook her head slightly and said calmly: "I won't go."
Qin Lang glanced at her and said nothing. He looked at his second sister and motioned for her to persuade her.
Miss Qin Er said: "Sister doesn't like the excitement, so forget it if you don't go. I don't want to go either. Mom, you won't go tomorrow. How about we go to the West Lake together? There will be fewer people in the West Lake tomorrow, so we can go shopping more. visit."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Song Ruyue looked strange and said: "When can't we go to the West Lake? Why do we have to go tomorrow? The Taikang Feast happens only once every three years. Ordinary people have no way to go. We finally have this opportunity, and my mother will definitely go."
At this time, Qin Wenzheng, who had been drinking silently, suddenly frowned and said, "Listen to Wei Mo, if you accompany Wei Mo and Jian Jia to visit the West Lake tomorrow, don't enter the palace."
When Song Ruyue saw him saying the same thing, she immediately pouted and begged, "Master, I want to go."
Just as Qin Lang and Qin Chuan were about to persuade, Qin Wenzheng suddenly glared and reprimanded with a straight face: "You are such a big man and you are still playful. Isn't it okay to ask you to spend more time with Jian Jia and Wei Mo?"
Song Ruyue pouted her mouth and lowered her head with an aggrieved expression on her face.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but said: "Dad..."
"you shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wenzheng glared at him.
Qin Chuan immediately shut up and lowered his head to eat.
The atmosphere on the table suddenly became dull again.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Father-in-law, let my mother-in-law go, and the second lady will go too. Let's go together and make it more lively. As for the eldest lady..."
He looked at the girl in the white dress next to him and said, "I think she should not go."
Everyone looked at him doubtfully.
Miss Qin also raised her head and looked at him.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but said: "Qing Zhou, why don't you let Jian Jia go? Just because you...you have reconciled with her, can you not take her with you?"
Qin Wenzheng immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I'll slap you to death!"
Song Ruyue on the side also picked up the chopsticks, hit him on the head, and glared: "You are the only one who can talk? You have been chattering non-stop all night, can you take a break?"
Qin Chuan immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou explained: "The eldest lady doesn't like liveliness. That kind of place is not suitable for her. She will feel uncomfortable and unhappy if she goes there. And..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "The eldest lady is so beautiful. There will definitely be a lot of people in the palace tomorrow, not only people from the five countries, but also people from various sects. They are mixed together. If you see the eldest lady, , it is inevitable that some accidents will occur.”
After hearing this, everyone looked at him with different expressions.
Miss Qin Er is smiling.
Qin Wenzheng's eyes were complicated.
Miss Qin still looked cold.
At this time, Qin Lang said: "Qing Zhou is right, Jian Jia should be at home. If other people like him, forget it. If he is..."
He didn't say any more and said, "Wei Mo, then you should stay with Jian Jia at home."
Miss Qin Er nodded and said: "Okay."
Song Ruyue said weakly: "What about me?"
Qin Wenzheng did not answer immediately and looked towards the opposite side.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Mother-in-law can go."
Qin Wenzheng then said: "Okay, then you can go together tomorrow."
Song Ruyue couldn't be happy at this time, and murmured in a low voice with a melancholy face: "Sure enough, I am the safest and least beautiful in this family. You are worried about Jianjia and Weimo, but you are not worried about me. I am old and yellow, and I am not beautiful anymore. People can appreciate it."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone pretended not to hear and started talking about other things.
When dinner was almost done, Qin Wenzheng ordered the maids to clear the table and let them all go out.
Then he went and closed the doors and windows himself.
Qin Chuan was still talking to Luo Qingzhou in a low voice, but seeing that he seemed to have something important to say, he quickly became quiet.
Seeing that his wife and children were the only ones in the room, Qin Wenzheng said, "Lang'er, you said you found the murderer of Luo Changtian and those Jin Yiwei?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Lang.
When Qin Lang heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Dad, I can't talk about the case."
Qin Wenzheng said with a straight face: "This is all your family, what can't you say? Will they still harm you?"
Qin Lang fell silent.
Qin Wenzheng suddenly shouted coldly: "Say!"
Qin Lang looked at him and said: "Dad, why do you have to let the child tell you? And you have to say it in front of everyone? Do you know who the murderer is?"
Qin Wenzheng suddenly slapped the table and yelled angrily: "What's your attitude? Why, now that you've become the commander of the Imperial Guards and your wings have become stronger, you won't take me seriously anymore, right?"
Qin Lang's expression changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Father, forgive me, I do not disrespect you. It's just that I really can't reveal this matter."
Qin Wenzheng was still angry, and Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Father-in-law, according to regulations, this kind of case cannot be disclosed casually, even to family members. My elder brother handles it impartially, and it is not wrong. Father-in-law, it is better not to ask. "
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak and sat down with a gloomy expression.
Luo Qingzhou walked over, helped Qin Lang up, and said: "Brother, the murderer should be Chu Feiyang, right? Brother, you don't have to worry that your family will reveal the news, and you don't have to worry that your family will embarrass you. If the murderer is really him, even if He is kind to his mother-in-law, so my eldest brother should do business and arrest him."
As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's face suddenly changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Is it... is he?"
Qin Lang was silent again, and then said: "I have received news in the past few days that Chu Feiyang has reached the middle stage of the Great Martial Arts Master. He may have concealed his cultivation before, otherwise he would not have been able to advance so quickly. Also, Uncle Zhongwu's Mansion He was in the city when the family was exterminated, and judging from the death conditions of Luo Changtian and those Jinyi guards, the opponent should have used fists, and it just so happened that Chu Feiyang also majored in boxing..."
Qin Wenzheng said with a gloomy face: "This is just your speculation. Do you have any evidence?"
Qin Lang said: "It's very simple. As long as I see him and fight with him, there will be evidence."
Qin Wenzheng snorted coldly and said: "The world is so big and there are so many martial artists who major in the same martial arts. Even if his martial arts are the same as the murderer's, you can't identify him as the murderer."
Qin Lang said: "Of course, the child has other evidence."
Qin Wenzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What evidence?"
Qin Lang lowered his head and said no more.
Qin Wenzheng was about to continue asking questions. Luo Qingzhou spoke again: "Brother, in fact, just take him back and interrogate him. As long as you take him into the Jinyi Guards, you will naturally have a way to make him talk, right?"
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him.
Miss Qin Er also glanced at him.
Qin Lang nodded and said: "Yes, but he is a direct disciple of Lingxiao Sect. He has been hiding in the sect and we cannot go in to arrest him."
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and came up with an idea: "This Taikang Feast may be an opportunity. If he enters the palace, you can take the opportunity to take him away for questioning. If he does not enter the palace, you can also take advantage of the high-level officials of the Lingxiao Sect to come to Kyoto. , go to his sect to arrest him.”
Qin Lang shook his head and said: "The Holy Spirit means that he cannot be touched for the time being. Tomorrow's Taikang Feast will not cause any trouble."
At this time, Miss Qin Er said: "Brother, you have found the murderer anyway, just report it to the Holy One truthfully. Whether he is arrested or not, let the Holy One decide. In this case, it has nothing to do with you."
Qin Lang fell silent and did not speak again.
The family talked for a while about entering the palace tomorrow, and then left.
Qin Wenzheng asked Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin to stay. After everyone left, Fang asked in a low voice: "Qingzhou, are you sure you can let your mother-in-law enter the palace tomorrow? Will something happen in the palace?"
Luo Qingzhou knew what he meant and said: "Nothing will happen. Tomorrow the palace will be full of masters, and the defense will be the tightest. Nothing will happen."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him deeply, felt relieved and said, "Okay."
All three of them understood this tacitly.
Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin leave.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er walked in front carrying lanterns.
The two of them were silent all the way, each thinking about their own thoughts.
When they reached the door of Meixiang Garden, Miss Qin suddenly whispered: "Brother Qingzhou, you go in first, and Weimo goes to my sister's place."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and entered the small courtyard alone.
Xiaodie was boiling water in the kitchen. When she saw him coming back, she said, "Master, where will you take a bath later?"
"In your room."
Luo Qingzhou walked into the kitchen and stayed with her for a while.
Miss Qin quickly arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace with Qiu'er's support.
Pearl carried the lantern, walked to the door and knocked.
Second Miss Qin frowned slightly, holding a snow-white handkerchief in her hand, her eyes deep in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Squeak..."
At this time, the courtyard door opened.
Bai Ling poked his head out, and when he saw it was them, he said crisply: "Second Miss, is something wrong?"
Second Miss Qin stepped forward and said, "Has sister returned to the room? I want to talk to her."
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and said, "The eldest lady went to practice piano in the back garden, and Chanchan also practiced swordplay there. It's very cold there. The second lady is weak, so it's best not to go."
As she spoke, she glanced at the handkerchief in her hand.
Miss Qin Er smiled slightly, handed the handkerchief in front of her, and said, "By the way Bai Ling, this handkerchief has a very special floral fragrance. Smell it and see if you know what flower it is?"
Bai Ling quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know, Xiao Bai Ling really doesn't know."
