What Mrs. Qin wanted to say was stopped by Qin Yun. Now that the matter is up to now, it is no longer up to the Qin family to make a decision.
"In three days, I will come to propose marriage." Qin Yunting looked at Zhen Yan and paused.
Zhen Yan stood up slowly with the help of the servant girl, with a slight smile on her lips, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your success."
Mrs. Qin flicked her sleeves and left with a snort. Qin Yun also dragged Qin Yunting away, and there were only two people left in the room.
Zhen Qin's face was full of joy, "Thank you, big sister, for your success. My sister is very grateful, and I will never forget my sister's kindness today."
Zhen Yan glanced at Zhen Qin, and said calmly, "Second sister just remembers, take a good rest, and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning."
Zhen Qin nodded, with an unstoppable smile on the corner of her mouth, she was even more happy in her heart.
Several members of the Qin family went back to the house, Mrs. Qin waved her hand angrily and gave Qin Yunting a slap, and said angrily, "This is a pure place of Buddhism, look at what good things you have done, Yunting, you have let mother down so much Already!"
Qin Yunting didn't hide or dodge, he knelt in front of Mrs. Qin in a daze, without explaining a word for himself.
"Mother, it's better to say a few words less, things have already happened, it's useless to talk about them." Qin Yun sighed, "It will not benefit Yun Ting to make this matter worse, but it will ruin Yun Ting's future. "
Mrs. Qin fell silent when she heard the words. After all, she felt sorry for her son, but she was holding her breath in her heart, unable to vomit or swallow, she was extremely useless.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Qin simply turned her head away from him.
"Yun Ting, today's matter..."
Before Qin Yun finished speaking, Qin Yunting said in a low voice, "I made a mistake on the spur of the moment. I want to marry Miss Zhen Er."
"No, I don't agree!" Mrs. Qin's complexion changed, and she firmly disagreed with marrying a woman from the Zhen family. What about the woman at home.
"Is the mother trying to force the son to death?" Qin Yunting glanced at Mrs. Qin, "The son made the mistake. If the mother refuses, I will go to my grandfather."
"Bastard!" Seeing his attitude, Mrs. Qin was furious. Qin Yun was on Qin Yunting's side. The matter had come to this point, and she had no choice at all. It was up to Mrs. Qin whether she was happy or not.
"Where did my mother put Yun Ting in doing this, and let the Qin family be a man?" Qin Yun persuaded, her tone stiff, "This matter was originally Yun Ting's fault. The Qin family is going to gamble."
Mrs. Qin choked, her face flushed red, Qin Yunting stood up and was about to leave, only then did Mrs. Qin let go, "I promise, but I can't let her be my wife..."
"Mother, the Zhen family is no worse than the Qin family. You want the second prince's cousin to be your concubine? If I were the Zhen family
Master, I would rather beat Miss Zhen Er to death than agree to it. At worst, it will be a hit and miss, and no one will be better off! "
Qin Yun was very helpless towards Mrs. Qin. She always knew how much Mrs. Qin liked Qin Yunting, and she was picky about her daughter-in-law's requirements. She was not satisfied with all kinds of things, even if she was married to a princess, she could find faults.
Qin Yun's patience was almost exhausted. After suffering such a big loss, she didn't learn a lesson, and she was extremely anxious.
After being yelled at by Qin Yun, Mrs. Qin immediately stopped objecting, "It's alright, alright, my wife is my wife!"
"Thank you mother for fulfilling."
After saying that, Qin Yunting opened the door and walked out, looking at the sky with a dull mood.
This matter was kept very tight, but Qin Yu still knew about it, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, and the ancients were wise."
Three days later, the Qin family came to ask for a marriage. Everyone thought they were asking for Miss Zhen, but they didn't expect Qin Yunting to ask for Miss Zhen.
The matter of Zhen Qin was not hidden from Mrs. Zhen Er. Although Mrs. Zhen was very displeased, she had to admit this marriage.
Due to the death of Mrs. Zhen, Zhen Qin, as her niece and niece, has kept her filial piety for one year, so she preliminarily set the wedding date at the end of next year.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Qin Guogong. Qin Guogong didn't mention it, but he was extremely disappointed in this grandson in his heart.
Qin Yu performed well in front of Qin Guogong time and time again, with unique insights and quick thinking. Compared with the previous eldest grandson Qin Yunting, this second grandson who has been neglected for more than ten years is even more capable.
Qin Guogong made up his mind to cultivate Qin Yu, and for a while the second young master of the Qin family's limelight gradually overshadowed the eldest grandson Qin Yunting.
When the two brothers met that day, Qin Yu stood in the corridor dressed in white, his tall figure was still thin, and he covered his mouth and coughed lightly from time to time.
"Congratulations, big brother, for finding a beautiful woman."
Qin Yunting paused, raised his eyes to look at Qin Yu, those clear and dark eyes were shining brightly, and with a slight blink, they lost their youth, showing the posture of a handsome young man.
This was the first time that Qin Yunting had formally looked at Qin Yu. During this period of time, Qin Yunting was bothered by troubles, which made Qin Yunting haggard a lot. After the engagement, he talked less.
"Thank you, the second brother is not too young, and it's time to get married."
Qin Yu smiled lightly, "Don't harm a good girl with my body. Besides, I'm a humble bastard with a low status. What right do I have to talk about marriage?"
"Second brother, why bother to underestimate yourself? My mother is picking out girls of the right age for my second brother these days. The matter of Yun Ting has been settled, and it's time for my second brother. No matter how bad the second brother is, he is also the young master of the Duke's Mansion. Who would dare to underestimate her?" No way!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun raised her feet and walked over, with a warm smile on her face, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Qin Yu, "Second brother, isn't he thinking about the princess?"
Qin Yu smiled slightly, "I don't know who is the princess that the eldest sister is talking about?"
"Naturally, it is Princess Qingle." Qin Yun smiled, "The princess is a peerless youth, and it is normal for the second brother to fall in love with her. Unfortunately, the princess has been closely watched by the queen mother recently, and the queen mother intends to betroth her to the Lu family. eldest son."
Qin Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly regained his composure, "Elder sister, don't be joking, the Princess is something I can't imagine."
Seeing that his expression was the same, Qin Yun's doubts subsided a little, she said a few more words to the two of them, then turned and left.
Qin Yu frowned slightly as he watched the two leaving.
princess mansion
After Qingle recovered, the Empress Dowager even sent a nanny to follow Qingle closely, like a pair of eyes staring at her all the time.
Qingle was on the verge of collapse, walking up and down the room restlessly.
"Princess, in fact, the Queen Mother is also doing it for your own good. Think about it, Mr. Lu is thoughtful in everything he does, talented and dignified..."
Nanny Zhou kept brainwashing Qingle, talking about Mr. Lu's good fortune.
"Hmph! Don't you just say that he is so old, and there is a cousin at home as a concubine!" Qing Le said displeased.
"Princess, Mr. Lu is only twenty-two years old, not a few years older than the princess. Besides, the older ones know how to love others. As for the cousin, don't worry, as long as you marry, the Lu family will immediately marry her. Sent."
Qingle snorted, "It's easy to say, I grew up with my childhood sweetheart, and you just dismissed it in a few words. Even if I dismissed it, wouldn't it be that the princess married Mr. Lu in the future? There will be a quarrel with Mr. Lu!"
No matter what Nanny Zhou said, Qingle always had something to say to Nanny Zhou.
Mr. Lu didn't know what he thought, but he was determined to marry Qingle. Mrs. Lu was very dissatisfied with Qingle last time, and she didn't know what the queen mother did, so Mrs. Lu agreed to the marriage .
Anxiously, Qingle stomped her feet, wanting to ask for help, but there was a follower beside her, and she couldn't even shake her off.
Qingle was anxious, afraid that even the queen mother would settle the matter without saying a word, so she would not marry Mr. Lu.
"Princess, plum blossom cake and lotus seed porridge are here."
Shuqin walked in with the tray in her hand, and took a quick look at Qingle.
Qingle approached the table and glanced at Nanny Zhou, "Don't talk about it, Mammy, the princess' head hurts badly, let's go out first."
Nanny Zhou hesitated to speak, raised her eyes and glanced at Shuqin, "Since the princess is not feeling well, Shuqin, please step back, don't disturb the princess's rest."
"You!" Qingle glared at Nanny Zhou, who was not afraid at all, and retreated while holding the qin.
As soon as the door was closed, Qingle began to rummage through the pastry, poked the pastry to pieces, and finally found a small bamboo tube inside a piece.
Overjoyed, Qingle stretched out his hand to open the bamboo tube, only to see a line of small characters written on it, Qingle finally relaxed.
The next day, Concubine Xiao asked Qin Yu out, "Cousin Yu, can you accompany me to a place."
Qin Yu frowned slightly, agreed without thinking too much, and followed Xiao Yu into the carriage.
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, "Cousin Yu, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
The two of them went into battle lightly, and drove all the way towards the outside of the city gate. After walking for about a day and a night, they drove day and night, and finally arrived in Wenzhou.
Qin Yu opened the curtain. Wenzhou is in a remote area surrounded by mountain streams. There is plenty of rain here, especially in the past few days, and there is no sign of restraint.
When the two went, the rain was a little less, and every family was waiting for the rain to stop at the door. The rain on the street was enough to flood the ankles. If the torrential rain continued, the entire Wenzhou might be flooded.
"Brother Yu, Xiaojiu knows that my cousin has the world in mind and wants to do something. Now Wenzhou has been raining continuously for days, and the prefect of Wenzhou has not done anything to cover it up. If the torrential rain continues in two days, Wenzhou will definitely be flooded. At dawn, where should the people go."
After Xiao Concubine finished speaking, Qin Yu's eyes moved, and he stared at Xiao Concubine with his lips tightly pressed together, "If the rain stops."
"No, it won't stop within half a month." Xiao Yan blurted out.
"How do you know?" Qin Yu asked suspiciously.
Concubine Xiao almost bit her own tongue when she opened her mouth, her face flushed, and she quickly explained, "Anyway, just trust me, some things are inconvenient to reveal to my cousin, can't Cousin Yu trust Xiaojiu?"
Qin Yu smiled when he heard the words, "How could it be, I can trust it."
Seeing that Qin Yu didn't ask any more questions, Concubine Xiao was relieved, and the two of them got out of the carriage in coir raincoats.
One person held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and the rain was like beads with broken strings, falling one after another. Compared with the bright sun in Kyoto, it was rainy and humid here, which was a real pain.
Qin Yu suddenly said, "I'll go out and look at the terrain, you can find an inn and wait."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Sure, you can go."
I found an inn to rest my feet, and the shopkeeper came to greet me in person, with a very polite attitude, presumably because the weather in the store was very bad, and finally someone came, so he was very enthusiastic.
After settling down, Concubine Xiao sent someone to find a topographic map of Wenzhou and studied it carefully.
She remembered that in her previous life, there was a torrential rain in Wenzhou, and the floods could not be drained out. Many people were drowned and crops were washed away.
The prefect of Wenzhou is an inaction, enjoying the imperial salary, bullying others and committing crimes. After something happened, he escaped from Wenzhou with his family and went to other places, leaving a lot of mess to the imperial court.
For a while, the common people thought it was the imperial court's inaction, and complained a lot. Emperor Dongming couldn't help it, so he had to leave the mess to the right minister.
The prime minister on the right was so busy that he didn't go home for several months, so Concubine Xiao had some impression of this matter.
Until the evening, the rain became heavier and heavier. Seeing that the sky was overcast and it was going to be dark, Qin Yu came back dripping wet.
Qin Yu looked solemn, "There is a mountain in Wenzhou that is extremely muddy, and it may collapse at any time. There is also a big river behind the mountain, and the water is getting higher and higher. Once the defense line is breached, the mountain will collapse and the flood will leak out, and the people in the city will definitely suffer. "
Xiao Yu nodded, "Cousin Yu, this is the topographical map of Wenzhou."
Qin Yu was overjoyed, and followed his gaze for a long time before saying, "I wonder how many people Xiao Jiu brought here this time?"
"Less than a hundred people." Xiao Yan said.
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, "Go back to Beijing first."
"But it's raining so heavily outside..." Hongxiu said worriedly.
Xiao Yu waved her hand, "It's okay, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better, so as not to make a big mistake and cause irreparable losses."
Qin Yu nodded, and the group rushed back to Beijing without stopping. Qin Yu locked himself in the study room and didn't come out until dawn, regardless of his discomfort.
Qin Yu handed the letter in his hand to the guard, "Be sure to hand it to Miss Xiao Jiu."
"yes!"
Qin Yu went to Qin Guogong's study with another copy in his hand. Qin Guogong was talking to Qin Yunting, and it was obvious that Qin Guogong was very angry, so Qin Yunting bowed his head and remained silent.
"Grandfather, I have something urgent to talk to my grandfather." Qin Yu's face turned pale, and he couldn't wait.
Qin Guogong glanced at Qin Yu, "Speak."
Qin Yu turned his eyes to look at Qin Yunting, Qin Guogong said, "Go down and reflect on yourself first!"
"yes!"
There was a letter on the other end, and when he opened it, his eyes lit up, "Where's the person who delivered the letter?"
"I've already gone back."
Right Prime Minister immediately sent people to inquire about the news non-stop, and then said, "Go to the Duke of Qin's mansion."
Qin Guogong was stunned for a while when he heard the news, "It's not nonsense to ask the imperial court to send troops to dig through the Wenzhou River and evacuate the people. In the past, it would rain every season in Wenzhou, and it stopped after a while. How could you say that?" so serious.”
"Grandfather, my grandson just came back from Wenzhou. There are several big mountains in Wenzhou, the mountains are loose, and there are cracks in several places. If the rain doesn't stop,
There will be landslides and ground cracks, and there is a big river behind a mountain. If the continuous heavy rain breaks through the precautions, I am afraid that the people in the city will suffer accordingly. "
Qin Yu continued, "Grandson has lived in the mountains all year round, so he has a certain understanding of the mountains. The loose soil at the foot of the mountain is a tendency to subside. I also asked my grandfather to send troops to evacuate the people, and then lead the river to Bianzhou Lake."
"Why are you so sure that the rain will not stop?" A cold voice came from the door, and Prime Minister Right stepped in.
Qin Yu whispered, "You can't gamble on this kind of thing, let alone have a fluke mentality. If the rain doesn't stop, the consequences will be serious. Besides, the project of leading the big river to the downstream Bianzhou Lake is huge, but it is beneficial to the people. Just in case."
Qin Guogong glanced at Prime Minister on the right, and snorted, "Why is Xiang Ye so free to come back?"
On the right, Qin Guogong was unconsciously short by three points, and lowered his posture, "It's not Xiaojiu, I went to Wenzhou to show compassion for the people of Liming there, and if I want to find a way to solve this matter, I will come and talk to the Duke Discuss it, I didn't expect to hear the opinion of the second young master, the Duke of the country is so lucky!"
Qin Guogong's face softened a little, and he glanced at Qin Yu, "It's just nonsense, why is the right minister taking it seriously?"
The Prime Minister on the right laughed, "It's not a bad thing to be prepared, but it's just a waste of manpower and material resources. It's better than letting the people suffer. The Wenzhou incident should not be underestimated."
Duke Qin didn't speak anymore, Prime Minister You heard what Qin Yu had to say, and entered the palace impatiently.
This matter was brought up in front of many officials, and many people mocked the right minister for not having anything to do, and went to Wenzhou University to make a fuss.
"Wenzhou is in the rainy season, and it's normal for it to rain a little. Why bother to send troops to dig through the river?" Emperor Dong Ming was also puzzled, and even began to be wary of the right minister's calculations, and was always on guard.
