Chapter 10
The mother and daughter had just chatted for a while when Lu Desheng came back.
"Send the person away?" Jiang asked.
Lu Desheng picked up the cup and drank all the water in it, "Well, I'll send it to the second door and come back."
"The Zhao family actually broke off their engagement with the Qin family. This was fast enough." Mrs. Jiang sighed.
Lu Songli nodded, right? A lot of things were done in one morning, and the Zhao family was really busy.
Today, the Lu family received people from the two major families in Chang'an City, one civil and one military. The two elders were quite emotional.
"In comparison, the Qin family seems more responsible." Jiang said. She had a good impression of the Qin family.
Lu Desheng snorted coldly, "For every dog that is slaughtered for justice, there are many scholars who are unfaithful!"
Ms. Jiang rolled her eyes, "Why did you include yourself in the scolding?"
"I'm different." Lu Desheng insisted stubbornly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Songli unconsciously curved her lips and said, "Mom, my father is indeed different from Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan is not as good as my father."
Lu Desheng puffed up his chest and looked at his old wife with a proud face, "Did you hear that?"
Jiang gave him a disgusted look, then chased him away, "Okay, okay, aren't we going to court tomorrow? Why don't you go to the study?"
As soon as Mr. Jiang reminded him, Lu Desheng stood up instantly, "It's time to go to the study. You don't need to call me for dinner." Tomorrow, he prepared a big gift for the Zhao family. The day before such a time, he would try to stay there as much as possible. Do various rehearsals in the study, trying not to capsize in the court.
Mrs. Jiang waved at him.
Lu Songli stood up and sent her father to the study with a smile. Her father's habit is quite good and he should keep it up.
"Sit with me for a while longer."
Lu Songli could tell that her mother seemed to have something to say.
"Mom, just say what you want to say. Is there anything else we two can't say?" She originally wanted to follow her father to the study room to pick out two books and read them back, but that was no longer an option.
Jiang smiled and said, "Did you see it?"
Lu Songli thought to herself that it was so obvious that she was not blind.
Jiang straightened her expression and asked her, "Ah Li, what do you think of Qin Sheng?"
Lu Songli looked at her mother and opened her eyes slightly. No, did her mother mean what she meant by what she said?
Jiang gave her a look of affirmation, "The Qin family is prosperous and has a good family tradition. If you marry her, Qin Sheng, as the legitimate youngest son, will be protected by his father and brother, so you can relax." The most important thing is that the legitimate family will be blessed. There is much less pressure on younger sons to carry on the family line.
She has always been full of worries about her marriage with the Xie family. With her daughter's body, she can imagine the pressure she will face in the future if she marries into a noble family like the Xie family or Xie Zhan, the eldest son of the eldest son. . But her daughter had paid such a heavy price for this marriage, so she was unwilling to give up like this. Early this morning, Mrs. Xie's and Xie Zhan's vague attitudes aggravated her worries.
"Your mother is right, Qin Sheng is indeed okay." Her father's voice came from outside the door.
"Dad, didn't you go to the study?"
Lu Desheng: "I left something behind. Come back and get it. But it's not important. We are talking about Qin Sheng now."
After saying this, the two elders looked at Lu Songli at the same time.
"No, parents, how could you suddenly have such an idea?" Lu Songli was horrified. Oh my god, she had to get rid of this dangerous idea as soon as possible.
You know, in the original book, the Qin family was convicted and exiled not long after Zhao Yutan married into the family. Later, Qin Sheng, the god of war of the Qin family, died unexpectedly. Although Qin Heng used Qin Sheng's remaining power to lead his troops back to Chang'an City and won the final victory, many people in the Qin family should have died, otherwise the second generation of the young emperor of the Qin family would also have died. She won't be so close to Zhao Yutan, her former aunt who has remarried.
The strength of the Xie family has been well preserved during the change of imperial power. A strong minister and a young leader will inevitably lose power. In addition, due to Zhao Yutan, it is obvious that Xie Zhan will control the court as regent in the later period. In the end, it is still unclear whether the new dynasty's surname will be Qin or Xie.
Qin Heng may not be blind to these problems, but he probably has no intention of getting rid of the Xie family. Exile and war have had an indelible impact on his body, which naturally affects his longevity. Coupled with the fact that the Qin family was lonely and desolate, I'm afraid he could only sigh and close his eyes.
These are all her guesses based on the plot of the original book given by her little cousin. At that time, the little cousin did not mention what the Qin family was accused of. Although the plot has changed now, it is still unclear whether the Qin family can escape that disaster.
The Qin family won the final victory. From the perspective of risks and benefits, betting early means higher odds and greater rewards, but the risks are also higher. You may lose all your money, or even lose your life and fortune. The Lu family only needs to find an opportunity to board the ship when the situation becomes clear, isn't it the same?
Why did the Lu family have to go into this muddy water so early? She was worried that her father's small body wouldn't be able to bear it if he jumped so early.
"Ah Li, do you believe in dad's vision of people?"
"Ah Li, if your marriage to the Xie family doesn't work out, you really have to think carefully about the Qin family. Otherwise, your future marriage will be even more bumpy." Jiang explained while enduring the heartache, but the fact was this. If their family and the Xie family break off their engagement, and what happened last night when they fell into the water, the daughter's options for future marriages will be much narrower.
What? Lu Songli frowned slightly. Her thinking still maintained the inertia of later generations. She always subconsciously felt that it was not a big deal to break off the engagement with the Xie family, but she did not expect that the situation was more serious than she imagined.
"No, Dad, if I really have to choose, then I choose Qin Heng." Not to mention that he survived to the end and won the final victory, let's just say that Qin Heng is twenty-seven years old. She will be twenty-six or seven years old in later generations, so she matches Some. Furthermore, his first wife died in childbirth, leaving behind a pair of twins. With her broken body, it was best for her to give birth painlessly.
In ancient times, Confucianism was prevalent and emphasized the importance of governing the world with filial piety. It is greater to be kind than to be kind. If you raise someone well, you will not be afraid that they will not be filial to you. The environment is so powerful and she can't raise a child who is filial to her. That's because she is incompetent.
If she were paired with Qin Sheng, she would be like an old cow eating young grass. No matter how thick-skinned she is, she still can't hold her tongue. Another point is that Qin Sheng is just cannon fodder. Although she likes his looks, she can't stand him and disappears on the eve of victory. This is not an ordinary bad luck. Although her identity is also cannon fodder in the original book, cannon fodder and cannon fodder are also different. The original owner survived until the middle and late stages before going offline. Lu Songli thought stubbornly.
Her parents now actually suggested that the two cannon fodders get together. Are they afraid that it will be too late for them to be wiped out?
"No, Qin Heng is too old!" Lu Desheng objected fiercely upon hearing this. Qin Heng looks mature and steady, but he is so much older than his daughter!
Lu Songli blinked. Is twenty-seven old? Those young ladies in later generations are still middle-aged girls in their thirties. And Qin Heng doesn’t look old either. She didn't know that the average life span of ancient people was only forty or fifty years old. To put it bluntly, at Qin Heng's age, two-thirds of his life had already passed!
Ms. Jiang also shook her head at her choice. Neither of them believed that it was a choice she made after careful consideration. They both thought it was a choice she made out of anger.
Lu Desheng stopped his old wife from continuing to persuade her, "Since Ah Li is unwilling, then we won't consider it."
Jiang sighed, that's all. If the Qin family knew about Ah Li's physical condition, their attitude might not be the same as it is now.
