Chapter 323 The Pen is for You
The awarding ceremony is over, and Qin Sheng and Qin Xinghuai’s vacation has really arrived.
When the couple returned home after dinner, they saw a carriage parked outside the house and servants were loading things into the carriage.
After packing the things, Qin Xinghuai helped Tao get into the car, as if he was about to flee the capital in a hurry without even saying goodbye.
Chu Yian's eyes widened, and he hurried forward to hug Tao's arm to prevent her from going up: "Mom, where are you going? Why are you leaving without saying a word? Take me with you."
Qin Xinghuai: ...
Qin Xinghuai glared at Qin Sheng, who touched his nose and pretended not to see it.
Tao's face flushed slightly. She glanced at Qin Xinghuai, coughed lightly, patted Chu Yian's hand, and smiled gently: "Yian, your father and I are going to stay in the farm outside the city for a few days."
"I'll leave the affairs of the mansion to you for now. If you can't handle it, just hand it over to Yuzhu and the housekeeper."
"If they can't handle it, let the third brother handle it. We will be back in a few days. It will be quick."
"And if you leave, what will happen to the people who have grievances and nowhere to complain? Be good, mother will be back soon." You don't have to follow me.
After saying that, he gently pried Chu Yian's hand apart, touched her head lovingly, turned around and got on the carriage with very quick movements.
Qin Xinghuai spoke a few words to Chu Yian gently, then got on the carriage and drove away without looking back, leaving Chu Yian standing at the door with a confused look on his face, at a loss as to what to do.
She looked at Qin Sheng in disbelief: "What's going on? Mother has always been a responsible person, why would she leave Beijing in such a hurry?"
According to Mrs. Tao's personality, even if she wanted to leave Beijing to play, she would arrange things at home first.
This time, he really left without any plans, and asked her to handle the affairs of the mansion. How could she handle it? She didn't know how.
Qin Sheng looked at the carriage going away, and when he looked at Chu Yian again, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Chu Yian took a breath and twisted his waist: "Don't look at me like that, it's scary."
Qin Sheng hissed, the man's grip was getting stronger and stronger.
He rubbed his waist, a smile flashing in his eyes: "They are hiding away. If they were slower, they might not be able to leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a servant from an unknown family running over from a distance. After a few polite words, he stuffed a note into Chu Yian's hand and left.
Chu Yian opened it, took a quick look, and quickly closed it with a snap, stuffing it into Qin Sheng's hand as if he had received a hot potato.
He shuddered and hurried back home to pack his things.
She couldn't stay in the palace now, so she went back to her parents' home to stay for a few days.
Qin Sheng looked at her from behind with amusement: "Do you really need to do this?"
Chu Yian rolled his eyes: "Did you see what was written on the post? It's obvious that they came here to propose marriage to my brother."
"Both my parents ran away. We can't handle this kind of thing."
"This is just the beginning. I finally understand why Mom and Dad ran so fast."
As soon as the Duke's Mansion became a prince's palace, people came to deliver invitations.
There will be more and more posts from now on, such as those about proposing marriage, making friends, going out for tea and flower viewing, and boating. They will come in like snowflakes.
The emperor was just about to make use of the Qin family, so it would not be appropriate to accept any invitation from any family at this time, lest his old problem come back.
But it’s not a good idea to reject it either. For some posts, it doesn’t matter if you reject them, but for some, it’s really inconvenient to reject them.
At this sensitive juncture, Tao either claimed to be ill and refused to meet anyone, or he had to meet some people.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to just leave and stay away from the capital, to have some real peace and quiet, and come back when the time is right.
But why didn't Tao take her along when she was trying to stay away from the crowd? She really wasn't good at dealing with this kind of social interaction. She might get led astray.
Qin Sheng stood behind him calmly and asked, "Where are you going?"
Chu Yian: "I'm going to my mother's place."
Qin Sheng thought about it, packed two sets of clothes and came out: "It's been a long time since I last visited my mother-in-law and my younger brothers and sisters. I'll go with you."
Chu Yian paused, turned around and looked at Qin Sheng, hesitantly: "You want to go with me?"
Qin Sheng opened his mouth, with shock in his eyes: "Are you going to leave me?"
Chu Yian looked away guiltily: "There has to be someone left in the mansion, right? What if someone..."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng laughed angrily, and said with gritted teeth: "I want to go, just in time to see how my brothers and sisters are doing with their studies and see if there is anything I can help with."
"My father-in-law is far away in Jinheling, and my eldest brother has been studying at the academy and hasn't been home for a long time. As a son-in-law, I naturally have to pay more attention to the Chu family's affairs, right?"
Chu Yian wanted to say something, but when he saw the condemnation in Qin Sheng's eyes, he didn't say it.
Chu Xiuyuan left, and Hua moved back into the Chu family with her son and daughter. The house in Yi Fu Lane is currently vacant.
Before the invitations were delivered, Chu Yian hurriedly took Qin Sheng back to her parents' home, leaving behind an empty Zhenbei Palace which was currently undergoing a renovation.
Hua was shocked to see the two of them suddenly appear. She excitedly pulled Chu Yian to look him up and down, and the more she looked, the more relieved she felt.
"Looks like he's grown a lot taller and gained some weight."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian's expression cracked: "Mom, you are wrong, I am not fat!"
Hua Shi nodded hurriedly, her eyes moist. "Well, you haven't gained weight. You're still as beautiful as before. No, you're even more beautiful than before."
Chu Yian often hangs out on the streets, unlike other girls who stay at home all day after getting married and are not allowed to go out.
When Hua went out of the house to check the accounts at the shop, she would occasionally see Chu Yian, so she did not miss her daughter as much as other mothers of married women.
At first, she was afraid that the Qin family would dislike her for being in public all day, but the Duke Qin's Mansion was not an ordinary family after all.
Hua was born in an ordinary family and did not dare to use her own ideas to guess the opinions of those wealthy families, especially the Qin family, which was a family of generals. So she did not rashly send anyone to remind Chu Yian, but observed in secret for several days.
Seeing that the Qin family really didn't care about her running around all day, she felt relieved.
Chu Yian looked around, but didn't see his two younger brothers and sister. He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where are Yunfan and the others?"
Chu Yunfan was the first son born to Hua after she married Chu Xiuyuan. It was this younger brother who carried her into the bridal sedan.
Hua said, "She's still at the academy. Mianmian and Miss Chen went out of town to burn incense, so she's not here either."
It's such an unfortunate coincidence that Hua is the only one in the Chu family right now.
Chu Yian didn't care. She thought that her younger brothers and sisters were all fake. She and Qin Sheng just came here to have some free time.
After chatting with Hua for a while, she returned to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.
The Chu family was not as powerful as those wealthy families. They had no guards, only a few maids and servants. Only after Chu Yian started to offend people did they send two secret guards to keep an eye on them.
Changqingyuan is often cleaned and looks very clean.
It's just that I came back suddenly and many things were not prepared, so the maid started to busy herself with packing.
Qin Sheng is the son-in-law after all. It is impossible for him to sleep in the same room with Chu Yian when he returns to his mother-in-law's house, not even in the same yard.
He sleeps in the guest room.
Qin Sheng wanted to go back again, and suddenly felt that those troubles seemed nothing.
While it was still early, Chu Yian took him for a walk on the street. Although they had returned to the Chu family, they couldn't neglect what they had to do.
It’s just that Shengjing has been much more peaceful recently, with fewer people looking for trouble, and naturally fewer people looking to her for justice.
Seeing that everyone seemed fine, she and Qin Sheng returned to the Chu family.
I found a deserted corner and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Shengzi, I can continue to publish my books."
I have been holding back for a long time in order to wait for Qin Sheng to return to Beijing. Now that he is back, it is almost time to start updating again.
Qin Sheng hummed: "I'll ask someone to arrange it and send it out tonight?"
The written manuscripts of Qinhuai Shu were left in the mansion, and we can ask the secret guards to bring them back later.
Come to think of it, he hasn't seen what his eldest brother's study looks like now, so he forgot about it.
But don’t worry, you can go back and watch it when you have time.
Chu Yian shook his head and suddenly asked a question that Qin Sheng had not expected: "Xiao Shengzi, can you draw?"
Qin Sheng:?
Meeting the expectation in Chu Yian's eyes, he nodded hesitantly.
Chu Yian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Qin Sheng to the guest room arranged for him and asked someone to deliver the calligraphy.
Changqing Courtyard is the inner courtyard, and it is not convenient for Qin Sheng to go in, so it would be more convenient for her to come over.
After the servants brought the pen and ink, she spread a piece of paper in front of Qin Sheng, the light in her eyes frightening: "Quick, draw my ancestor for me."
"He must be tall, mighty, handsome, and imposing."
"I also need to depict his heroic spirit as he commands the country. Wherever his banner points, the black army follows like a shadow, and wherever they pass, all becomes Qin territory."
"It would be even better if we could depict him calmly and cheerfully conquering the six kingdoms. Of course, it would be even better if we could clearly see his majesty and inviolability."
Qin Sheng: ...
