Chapter 100 Xiaosheng has loved eating this since he was a child
It was already late when the story was written. After Qin Sheng put down his pen and urged Chu Yian to go to bed, he got up, opened the door, left Fuhua Courtyard, and went to Qin Huaishu's yard.
When he went there, the light in the study was on. Qin Sheng stood at the door and knocked. After hearing Qin Huaishu's voice from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
Qin Huaishu was holding a piece of paper in his hand. No one knew what was written on it, but it made his usually gentle face look solemn.
Qin Sheng walked in and closed the door behind him, then sat down opposite Qin Huaishu. "Brother, have you received any news from over there?"
Qin Huaishu nodded and handed over the note in his hand: "Just sent it, take a look."
Qin Sheng took the note and looked at the words on it. His heart sank a little bit and a dark light flashed in his deep pupils.
After a moment of silence, Qin Huaishu asked him, "What do you think?"
Qin Sheng leaned back in his chair, his tone somewhat melancholy and bewildered: "Does it matter what I think?"
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "My thoughts have never been important."
Qin Huaishu frowned, looked at him seriously, and said in a serious tone: "Xiaosheng, let me handle this matter. The Qin army has been silent for too long, and Dashun has not fought a real big battle in many years."
"I don't know when the court has so many good-for-nothings. When something happens, the first thing they think about is not how to solve the problem, but to beg for mercy..."
Qin Huaishu paused for a moment, slowly exhaled, and continued, "During this period of time, you should train your troops well and spend more time with your younger brother and sister-in-law in your free time. You probably won't have many days left in the capital."
Qin Sheng pursed his lips and looked into Qin Huaishu's eyes: "How do you want to persuade the emperor to send troops?"
Qin Huaishu lowered his eyelashes, placed the note in his hand on the candle and lit it.
The flame burned, devouring the piece of paper bit by bit. A burning sensation came from his hands, and he slowly threw the paper into the incense burner.
Qin Huaishu smiled, and the moment he looked up at Qin Sheng, his usual gentle smile returned to his face.
"Actually, I don't really need to persuade the Emperor."
Qin Sheng was stunned.
He stared at Qin Sheng for a few seconds before uttering the second half of his sentence calmly: "I can deal with those who advocate peace talks."
He lowered his eyelashes again: "As long as we find a way to deal with them, wouldn't the problem be mostly solved?"
"Since the emperor is easily influenced by them, it would be much easier to persuade the emperor if they were gone."
Qin Sheng opened his mouth, shocked by his bold idea.
But he quickly came to his senses, and after a brief thought, his brows furrowed even more tightly. "Those people are in high positions. It's not that easy to deal with them. If we're not careful, we'll end up getting into trouble."
Qin Sheng felt that it was unnecessary to help him in this way.
Qin Huaishu hummed and nodded gently: "It is indeed not easy to deal with them. It will not be accomplished overnight, but it is not difficult to make them lose the emperor's favor during this period of time."
"So I don't need to kill them so quickly, or have the emperor demote them. I just need the emperor to dislike them for a while, and I can still do that."
Compared to taking drastic actions that killed so many people, this slightly gentler method was obviously safer.
Qin Sheng pursed his lips. Qin Huaishu always had a plan in mind and it was not easy to change his decision. He could only ask, "Do you need my help?"
Qin Huaishu shook his head and looked at him: "Leave this matter to me and your second brother."
"Xiaosheng, you don't have to be so discouraged. If anything goes wrong, I have my elder and second brothers to take the lead. Just do what you want to do."
Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes, hiding the various emotions that surged in his eyes, and nodded softly.
Qin Huaishu sighed, stood up, took a plate of candied dates from the table and placed it in front of Qin Sheng: "After so many years, this is all you like to eat."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng’s face suddenly darkened: “I don’t like it now, take it away.”
Qin Huaishu chuckled and looked at him gently: "You really don't like eating?"
Qin Sheng gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I don't like it anymore!"
His tone suddenly became a little disappointed: "Well, it seems that Xiaosheng has really grown up."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng's teeth ached, and he stood up immediately: "I'm leaving now, you can eat slowly."
After saying that, he turned and walked away. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around, strode to Qin Huaishu, and looked down at him.
Qin Huaishu looked at Qin Sheng with amusement.
Qin Sheng bent down, took a candied date from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, humming: "Let's go, the rest is for you."
Qin Huaishu's eyes curved: "Well, thank you Xiaosheng."
Qin Sheng returned to Fuhuayuan in a good mood. When he pushed the door open quietly and walked in, Chu Yian was already sleeping like a pig, with his head buried in the quilt.
Qin Sheng stared at her for a few seconds, then reached out and pinched Chu Yian's nose.
Chu Yian hummed a few times and rolled his head, but he didn't wake up.
He chuckled, let go of Chu Yian, and walked to the soft couch beside him to sleep.
Chu Yian had a dreamless night and woke up the next day feeling refreshed. After washing up, he went out and saw Qin Sheng practicing martial arts in the yard again.
With a graceful posture and agile movements, Chu Yian looks very handsome.
She stared at Qin Sheng for a long time, and suddenly found that this man seemed to be in a good mood today.
Although he practiced martial arts every day in the past, I have never seen him practice so hard.
Chu Yian was amazed at what he saw. After Qin Sheng stopped, he asked curiously, "Is there any good news? You seem to be in a good mood. Share it with me and make me happy too."
Qin Sheng put the sword back into the scabbard and shook his head: "No."
Chu Yian curled his lips: "Stingy."
Qin Sheng pursed his lips. The matter of leading the troops to the battle had not been decided yet, and he didn't know if there would be any changes. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell her.
Even if we want to say it, it will not be too late until the emperor clearly expresses his intention to send troops to fight.
But when he thought about him and Chu Yian writing a book, his mood became a little gloomy.
If he leaves Beijing, who will write for Chu Yian in the future?
Chu Yian really thought this person was strange. He seemed to be in a good mood just now, but in the next moment, his mood seemed not so good anymore.
Qin Sheng exhaled and asked Chu Yian: "What are your plans for today?"
Chu Yian glanced at him and asked, "Are you taking a day off today too?"
Qin Sheng shook his head: "I'm on duty today, just asking questions."
Chu Yian uttered an "oh" and rolled his eyes, then chuckled, "I'm planning to go to the bookstore and take a look. They're about to write about the Six Kingdoms, so I'll go and hear their real-life reviews."
Qin Sheng nodded: "The content later is actually quite exciting. Aren't you afraid of being scolded if you go now?"
You stopped when you were writing something exciting. Wouldn't you be scolded?
Chu Yian glared: "Impossible! Who dares to scold me when I write such a brilliant piece?"
Qin Sheng: "...Is it possible that it was because it was so brilliant that it got scolded?"
Chu Yian thought about it for a moment and felt that at most she would be called a "dog who breaks the grammar". She understood and could accept it.
She chuckled: "They are scolding Dapeng, what does it have to do with me, Chu Yian? And I can scold back. I used to scold people in the canyon once and nine times, and I was scared myself, okay? I am not a coward at all."
Qin Sheng: ...
He said something incomprehensible, but never mind: "Okay, go ahead and rant. I'll arrange for more people to follow you so you don't get beaten."
Chu Yian: ...
