Chapter 304: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Duke Qin generally does not interfere with the actions of the three children of the Qin family as long as they do not go too far.
After all, the three children are very opinionated and sometimes see things more clearly than he does. If he talks too much, some of his views may conflict with those of the other children. Forcing the children to listen to him might lead to mistakes.
Since Qin Sheng said so, Duke Qin didn't bother to care.
He walked out, and when he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, I have to write a letter to your mother tonight. If you have a letter to write to Yi An, please write it and send it to me. I will have someone send it back to the capital."
Qin Sheng nodded, his eyes softened, and he watched Duke Qin leave and then returned to his tent.
Sitting at the table, I spread out the paper, put on the paperweight, and picked up the pen to write something.
But the pen hung on the paper for a long time without falling.
Turning my head and looking out from the raised tent curtain, I saw that people often walked on this piece of grass, and the little snow that was already there was trampled clean.
It hasn't snowed in Shengjing yet, but it should snow in about half a month.
It was the first snow in Shengjing, and also the first snow after Chu Yian married him, but Qin Sheng felt a little lost because he couldn't watch it with her.
After this battle is over and the Hun army is defeated, the Hun's speed will certainly increase, and it won't be long before he can return to the capital.
I can't accompany her to see the first snow, and I may not be able to go back for the New Year. A deep sense of loss arises somewhere in my heart.
Qin Sheng suppressed those emotions, retracted his gaze, and thought of the woman whose eyes seemed to be always filled with the sun, moon and stars, and his heart softened.
He hadn't seen her for some time, and they hadn't written many letters to each other. He didn't know if she missed him.
However, Yi An had said in a letter before that he had been having a hot affair with the noble ladies in Shengjing recently, so she must have forgotten about him most of the time.
Qin Sheng raised the corner of his lips, cursed softly, and finally the tip of the pen dipped in ink fell on the paper.
Yi An also said in the letter that she filled her eldest brother's study with his favorite dolls. She didn't know how wonderful her eldest brother's expression was at that time.
Qin Sheng was a little disappointed that he couldn't see what the study looked like now, nor did he see Qin Huaishu's expression at that time.
But you don’t have to think about it to know that it must be very exciting.
What a pity.
When he gets back, he must go to his eldest brother's study to take a good look.
I wrote stroke by stroke on the paper and before I knew it I had written many pages.
Every word seemed to be filled with his thoughts that he wanted no one to see, yet every word seemed to be just a casual chat with a good friend about what had happened around him these days.
After writing the letter, a hint of loneliness flashed across Qin Sheng's eyes.
He checked the letter from beginning to end, and made sure that there was nothing inappropriate written in it before putting the letter in an envelope and having someone deliver it to Duke Qin's tent.
…
Shengjing
Chu Yian stayed at the Su family until it was getting dark, and only said goodbye to Su Zhi reluctantly after dinner.
After leaving the Su family's gate, he got on the carriage back home.
Thinking about the fact that Qin Huaishu was leaving Beijing tomorrow, my originally good mood gradually became depressed.
The weather in Shengjing is getting colder, and the number of people in Shengjing... is also decreasing.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
If Dashun wants to be stable and the Qin family wants to last long, this is the inevitable path they must take.
Last night, when she suddenly heard the news that Qin Huaishu was leaving, she couldn't control her emotions and even asked Qin Huaishu to coax her.
This can't happen again today.
Chu Yian was still trying to comfort herself when the carriage suddenly braked and she was caught off guard and almost rushed out.
Fortunately, the carriage was not moving very fast, otherwise Chu Yian really thought that she could rush out and knock the coachman away.
Xiao Fu quickly steadied herself and stretched her neck to look outside: "What happened? Why did it stop suddenly?"
When she got out of the carriage, she saw a thin young man in tattered clothes lying in front of the horse. If he had not reacted in time, he would have been trampled to death by the horse's hooves.
Before he could react, several people dressed as servants rushed over and started punching and kicking the young man without saying a word.
Xiao Fu frowned, jumped out of the car, and shouted sharply, "Whose servants are you?"
Chu Yian also stuck his head out and looked at the ferocious servants and the young man who was lying on the ground curled up with his head in his hands, his brows furrowed.
He then looked at the young men in fancy clothes who walked out of the building behind the group of servants.
They stood aside with their arms folded, watching the boy's miserable appearance with interest, and even joked with the people next to them about the boy's embarrassment, saying that he deserved it.
But the moment they turned their heads and met Chu Yian's gaze, they froze visibly.
Chu Yian narrowed his eyes, wondering who it was. Aren't these all familiar faces?
Many of them were young men who had failed to pass the imperial examinations for hundreds of years and were on the boat next to us when we were boating on the lake.
This is really... enemies meet on a narrow road.
The young masters didn't expect to meet Chu Yian here. After being stiff for a moment, they quickly came to their senses and looked at Chu Yian with unfriendly eyes.
Last time, she bullied him on the boat and made him feel ashamed. Although her family reported her to the emperor after she came back, she didn't receive any punishment, not even house arrest.
The emperor probably just scolded her a few words, neither lightly nor severely.
However, they lost all face and were laughed at when they returned to the academy. They were told that they had read the books of sages in vain and that they could not even win the argument with a woman.
You can tell someone's depth just by a few words they say, and they can never catch up with him even if they flatter him all their lives.
It leaves many people with nowhere to vent their anger.
She wanted to seek revenge on Chu Yian, but behind Chu Yian stood the Qin family and the Duke Qin's Mansion. Who could do anything to her?
A man who looked to be in his thirties standing at the front pulled the corner of his mouth, clasped his fists towards Chu Yian with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "Madam Qin Sanshao, I apologize for disturbing your carriage."
He looked at the servants again, not disguising the malice in his eyes: "What are you all standing there for? Can't you see you're blocking someone's way?"
"Why don't you drag the man away and clear the road?"
Chu Yian's eyes turned cold. Are you going to drag him away and continue beating him?
But before I could say anything, the system's voice suddenly rang in my head.
[Ding, the mission has been successfully triggered. Please help the boy in front of you.]
Chu Yian was stunned and frowned slightly. The system rarely issued tasks to help men.
So far, only Bai Yu’s husband has obtained it once.
Her eyes fell on the curled-up boy and she quickly opened the task introduction page.
