Chapter 240: If you don't obey, beat it

Duke Qin looked at Qin Rang. Among his sons, he and Qin Sheng were the most worrying ones.

Qin Shengdu is fine, especially Qin Rang.

I rarely go home throughout the year.

Although he didn't know what he was doing outside, Duke Qin knew that Qin Huaishu must know.

If anything bad happens, Qin Huaishu will stop it.

Since he didn't stop it, it meant that he had done nothing wrong and he was too lazy to care.

After all, it was a farewell dinner, so Duke Qin didn't say anything to dampen the mood. "Okay, if your eldest brother needs you to do something in the future, be quick and efficient."

Qin Rang chuckled and said, "Of course, I listen to my eldest brother the most."

Qin Huaishu's eyes curved, but he didn't spoil the show: "Yes, Xiao Rang is very obedient, Daddy is relieved."

Mrs. Tao patted Duke Qin and said with a smile, "You're always worrying about this and that. The children have their own ideas. Don't worry so much."

Duke Qin laughed loudly upon hearing this, poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down: "You're right, worry less."

"I don't have to worry about you anymore after you leave."

Seeing that his cup was empty, Qin Rang quickly filled it up again: "What are you talking about? What are you worried about? I think you don't want to worry about me."

Qin Rang did not let Duke Qin's words come true, but instead made everyone laugh.

Qin Sheng was not polite at all: "Yes, the eldest and second brothers are so old and still haven't married, so we should make arrangements as soon as possible."

Qin Huaishu, who was inexplicably detained, looked at Qin Sheng.

Meeting his gaze, Qin Sheng raised his glass towards him.

Chu Yian also raised his glass with a smile. Qin Huaishu felt a little helpless and raised his glass to clink with them.

Looking at Chu Yian, he reminded him with some worry: "Drink less. If you feel dizzy, ask someone to replace the wine with tea."

Chu Yian nodded obediently: "Yeah, okay, I know what I'm doing."

It's hard to believe what she's like.

Qin Huaishu looked at Qin Sheng, signaling him to keep an eye on him.

Sure enough, Qin Sheng’s words immediately became the focus of discussion.

Mrs. Tao looked at her eldest son, her brows furrowed tightly. "It's been delayed for so long. You always said before that you didn't want to delay the girl. Now you should take your time and look at her."

Qin Huaishu rarely knew what to say in front of his family.

I could only lower my head and whisper, "Mom, there's no rush."

"Why not? The third brother is already married, so you two can..."

Before she could finish her words, Qin Rang immediately came over and considerately picked up a bowl of food for Tao: "Mom, look at you, you prepared so many dishes but didn't eat them. They are all cold."

Dow: ...

Tao glared at him.

Qin Rang was very shameless: "I barely get home for a few days this year. If I marry a girl and then become a widow, wouldn't that be unfair to her?"

"Don't you think so?"

Dow: ...

Qin Rang: "So if you want to urge me, I should urge my elder brother first. He is older than me and has been living in the capital all his life. He doesn't leave often and is very stable. It won't be a problem for him to get married and have children, and he won't let the girl down."

Qin Huaishu: ...

Qin Huaishu looked at Qin Rang with a dagger in his eyes.

Qin Rang bared his teeth and laughed foolishly.

Tao immediately looked at Qin Huaishu. Qin Huaishu coughed lightly and changed the subject abruptly: "I've been busy recently, and there will be more things to do in the future. Let's talk about it after I'm done."

The Qin family is considered the most bizarre family in the entire Shengjing.

The eldest and second sons are already old but they don't marry or take concubines. Instead, the third son got married first.

How could Mrs. Tao not know that her two sons had no intention of getting married until they met the women they loved?

But both of them matured too early and saw through many things. How could it be easy for them to meet someone they truly like?

I'm afraid these two have no plans to get married in the short term.

Mrs. Tao said angrily, "Just keep dragging it out until you're older, and see which girl will still be interested in you."

Before Qin Huaishu and Qin Rang could say anything, Chu Yian couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly lowered her head and ate her food obediently.

To be honest, she felt that whether it was Qin Huaishu or Qin Rang, it would be easy to get married if they really wanted to.

Regardless of their family background or appearance, these two can attract many girls.

Especially Qin Huaishu, who was an official in the court with a bright future. He had a good personality, was handsome, gentle and considerate.

He is definitely every girl’s dream lover.

Seeing Chu Yian looking at Qin Huaishu, Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Why are you staring at my brother?"

Qin Huaishu also looked over.

Chu Yian blinked and shook his head: "No, I was just wondering what kind of girl is worthy of Big Brother."

Qin Huaishu choked and said helplessly: "There is no such thing as being worthy or unworthy. I just don't want to delay the girl."

Chu Yian was frantically trying to sabotage the situation: "To translate it, I actually just don't want to get married."

Qin Huaishu: ...

Qin Sheng and Qin Rang couldn't help laughing, and Tao glared at Qin Huaishu, furious.

Duke Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Come, drink, drink."

Everyone raised their glasses again, and Chu Yian drank another one, his face visibly reddening.

Qin Sheng glanced at the jar of wine on the table and frowned: "How many drinks have you had?"

The jar is not big and can't hold much wine.

But he only drank a few glasses and was about to finish his drink.

Chu Yian shook his head: "I didn't drink much, just three cups? No, five cups? It should be five cups."

Qin Sheng frowned more and more tightly, looking carefully into Chu Yian's eyes.

It’s okay, I’m still clear-headed and not drunk.

He felt relieved: "Okay, don't drink it later."

Chu Yian: "Don't worry about it, just today, just this once."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Rang cheered from the side: "That's right, just let her drink and see how much she can drink. Just drink as much as you want, sister-in-law."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng rubbed his temples with a headache. During this time, Chu Yian quietly drank another glass.

Judging from her attitude, Qin Huaishu was afraid that she had no intention of writing a book tonight.

He also said: "It's rare for her to be so happy, let her drink."

He turned around and ordered his servants, "Prepare some more hangover soup."

Qin Sheng said helplessly: "When is she unhappy? You will know how uncomfortable it is when you wake up with a headache tomorrow."

Chu Yian smiled, but didn't continue drinking.

An Jing started eating the meat.

Listening to the Qin family's random chatter, she relaxed completely.

She reached out her chopsticks to pick up the shrimp on the plate, but the shrimp actually jumped to the left and avoided her chopsticks.

Chu Yian opened his eyes wide and squeezed them again.

The shrimp jumped again.

Chu Yian:!

It was strange. He picked up several pieces of food with chopsticks, but it dodged them every time. Chu Yian was so angry that he almost died.

She rolled up her sleeves and stood up to continue picking up the shrimp. She didn't believe that she couldn't get the shrimp today.

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng glared at Qin Huaishu, pushed Chu Yian to sit down, and put the shrimp into her bowl: "I told you to drink less, but you didn't listen."

Chu Yian blinked, looked at the shrimp in the bowl with confused eyes, and turned his head to look at Qin Sheng: "Qin Sheng, it, it's dead..."

Qin Sheng: ...

Chu Yian: "It was jumping just now."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng closed his eyes and said, "It tastes better when it's dead. If you don't believe me, try it."

Chu Yian said "oh" and took a bite.

Qin Sheng was startled and quickly held her head to prevent her from falling into the bowl.

He glared at Qin Rang again, then simply picked up the shrimp and handed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."

Chu Yian opened her mouth obediently, and after the shrimp entered her mouth and chewed it, her eyes lit up: "It really has to taste better."

"I, I want to die shrimp."

Qin Sheng's eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at Tao: "Mom, what kind of wine did you prepare?"

He seemed fine just now, how come he became drunk in a short while?

Mrs. Tao looked at Yuzhu, who hurriedly said, "Third Young Master, it's Ninglu."

Qin Sheng: ...

This wine doesn't make much of a difference when you drink it, but the aftertaste is really strong.

Even a grown man couldn't hold on after a few bowls, so it's no wonder that Chu Yian, a girl who doesn't drink, got so drunk.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He looked at Chu Yian again: "How about going back to sleep first?"

Chu Yian looked at him, stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant. He shook his head: "No, I'm not drunk, I won't sleep."

Qin Sheng: ...

Yuzhu hurriedly said, "The hangover soup is ready. Would you like to give the young lady a bowl?"

Chu Yian glared: "I'm not drunk, why should I drink sober soup? Look, are you looking down on me?"

Qin Sheng's glare was so sharp that it almost cut Qin Huaishu and Qin Rang to pieces.

"You two try to persuade her to drink another one."

The two brothers lowered their heads and acted like quails, neither of them dared to say a word.

Duke Qin smiled and said, "Let her be."

Qin Sheng nodded, now he really could only keep an eye on it.

Chu Yian suddenly stood up and staggered away from the table.

Xiao Fu was holding her up lightly, fearing that she would fall.

Although he was shaking, Chu Yian walked steadily and did not fall: "I, Qin Sheng, you are leaving tomorrow."

Qin Sheng nodded.

Chu Yian's eyes were red: "I can't bear to leave you..."

Qin Sheng felt a little bitter in his heart and didn't know what to say.

But Chu Yian quickly laughed again: "But I'm happy for you."

She staggered to the table and picked up the glass: "I'll toast you."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng quickly poured sobering soup into her cup and smiled, "Okay."

Chu Yian drank it, smacked his lips, and frowned: "This wine tastes a little off."

Qin Sheng didn't feel guilty at all: "No, it's quite good. You must have eaten something else and the taste is mixed."

Chu Yian’s stupid brain tried to work but failed, so he gave up.

"I, I will recite a poem to bid you farewell..." His eyes looked even more confused.

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng closed his eyes, and so did Qin Huaishu.

She said that writing poems was better than reciting them, after all, there were other people here.

The others actually became interested after hearing this and put down their chopsticks.

Chu Yian started swaying again, shaking his head: "Thousands of miles, thousands of miles of yellow clouds, white sun, the north wind blows, blows, blows the geese and snow."

Duke Qin looked up at the sky silently. Although it had turned colder, it was not yet cold enough to snow.

It's been several months.

And there is a moon tonight, which looks pretty good.

Chu Yian didn't care, and continued: "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead. There is no one in the world who doesn't know you."

The air was silent for a moment, and Duke Qin couldn't help but slam his hands on the table: "What a great poem!"

Qin Huaishu silently appreciated it in his heart, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "It is indeed a good poem."

Qin Rang also applauded: "Where did you hear this, sister-in-law? Why haven't I heard of this poem?"

Qin Huaishu and Qin Sheng's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

Chu Yian didn't hear what he said, covered his mouth, and looked at Qin Sheng aggrievedly: "Your tongue...is not obedient."

Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her back to sit down: "Well, if you don't listen, I'll beat it later."

Qin Huai Shu: ...

Other members of the Qin family: ...
