Chapter 11 I Choose Qin Sheng
Chapter 11
Over there, the Qin brothers left the Lu family's house and boarded the Qin family's carriage parked at the Lu family's gate, one after the other. In fact, both of them were good at riding horses, but Chang'an City was crowded and it was inconvenient to ride horses.
There were people in the carriage. When Qin Sanlang saw his eldest brother and Xiaoliu getting on, he put away the book in his hand. When his eldest brother and the younger brother went to visit the Lu family, he was meeting friends nearby and now wanted to get a ride home.
"Brother, what do the Lu family say?" Qin Sanlang asked.
Qin Heng shook his head and said, "The Lu family didn't agree." But he didn't refuse either. The Lu family would probably suffer greatly from what the Zhao family did.
"Indeed, compared to Xie Zhan, our Xiaoliu still has a lot of room for improvement. The Zhao family can make choices quickly, but the Lu family can't." After saying this, Qin Lao San patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Work hard, young man."
Qin Sheng held his breath. When the Zhao family came to talk to him today, he had clearly stated that he didn't mind what happened last night (in fact, he still did mind a little). Even his family members said they didn't mind, but the Zhao family still insisted on canceling the engagement. No matter how much the Qin family tried to persuade him, the Zhao family was determined. Later, he came to his senses. The Zhao family looked down on him, Qin Sheng, and would rather abandon him to flatter Xie Zhan. After thinking it through, he didn't let his family lower their attitude to persuade him. The Zhao family wanted to cancel the engagement, so they canceled it!
He had left Prince Gong's Mansion directly last night and abandoned Zhao Yutan, who had fallen into the water, there. His mother found out about this and scolded him profusely. She even sided with Zhao Yutan, saying she was probably pretending to faint because she was too shy...
When the Zhao family showed up this morning, his mother probably figured it out, right? Lu Songli was right. The two of them falling into the water last night wasn't an accident. It was probably a setup by the Zhao family.
After the Zhao family left, his mother got angry when she saw him acting as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Yutan had a good reputation among the noble ladies of Chang'an City. He was talented, handsome, gentle, and considerate. However, he had no feelings about this marriage or Zhao Yutan as a person. In his mother's words, he just hadn't figured it out yet.
If it weren't for the Qin family's rule that all male members of the family had to be married before they could be stationed on the battlefield and lead troops independently, he wouldn't have had any expectations for this marriage. Now that he's withdrawn, the only impact on him is that he probably won't be able to go on a proper expedition next year, and can only serve under his brothers and enjoy a little bit of food.
Qin Heng didn't want to continue to attack his brother, so he changed the subject, "Was that the second young lady of the Lu family?"
"Have you met the second daughter of the Lu family?" Qin Sanlang asked with interest. Logically speaking, if the Lu family had no intention of breaking off the engagement and marrying into the Qin family, it would be impossible for them to let their daughter meet his younger brother. Wait, since his elder brother asked this, it must be that they did not meet in a formal occasion.
"Yes." Qin Sheng answered reluctantly.
Lu Songli probably didn't see him clearly last night, as there was a mixture of strangeness and surprise in his eyes, but he saw everyone clearly last night, as he had very good eyesight.
Lu Songli didn’t know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely scold him. You have good eyesight, but you recognized the wrong fiancée?
Qin Sheng asked hesitantly, "Brother, are you really going to let me marry Lu Songli?"
"People may not be able to look down on you."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng instantly became like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "She looks down on me, but I look down on her too. She is as skinny as a bean sprout." "And look at her just now, she dared to peek at another man. She has no modesty of a girl at all." She is so vicious and cunning!
Qin Heng was helpless, "It's just that it hasn't grown up yet."
Qin Sanlang listened with great interest. Tsk, the case was solved. It turned out that this was not something that could be met in a formal setting.
These two stubborn girls and boys, one is young and doesn't know how good a younger brother is, and the other is a yellow-haired girl that I don't want.
At this time, the carriage stopped. The three Qin brothers who were chatting in the carriage did not realize that the road was blocked and they could not move for a while.
They were stuck at the intersection of a small alley in the south city. There were many common people here and the living conditions were quite crowded. There were many women carrying baskets and chatting while doing needlework.
After listening to a few words, Qin Sheng realized that they were still talking about the drowning incident last night. Is this matter over yet? Qin Sheng lowered the carriage curtain depressedly and shouted to the front, "Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan, what's going on? Why isn't this carriage leaving?"
Uncle Guan, the driver, controlled the carriage and took the time to reply, "We can't leave yet. There's a wedding procession ahead. We can't leave until they pass."
The carriage did not move, and the voices of the aunts and wives outside came in. In fact, they were quite far away, and ordinary people could hardly hear what they were saying. However, the three Qin brothers in the carriage were all military generals, and their five senses were very good, so everyone inside could hear everything they said clearly.
"You all think that Master Li Xie is better than Master Qin, the two male protagonists in this matter."
"Isn't it? Young Master Xie is extremely handsome, and his words and deeds show the demeanor of a young master, which makes people admire him very much. Although Young Master Qin is also handsome, his face has not fully grown. He doesn't have the kind of feeling that makes women's hearts beat fast when they see him. How to say it, maybe Young Master Qin will be fine when he grows up in the future, but now he is like a green fruit." The person who said this was obviously well-educated.
"You are still too young. You like gentle and refined handsome men. I am different. If I have to choose between Master Xie and Young Master Qin, I will choose Young Master Qin."
"Why?"
"Master Xie is quite good, but as a scholar, you know, if it's not obvious when he's young, he'll be less so as he gets older. But Young Master Qin is different. He's a man of both civil and military skills, especially his horsemanship. He's formidable. His waist is lean and strong, so he must be quite capable in that area. Whoever marries him will be blessed in the future."
The woman who said this was obviously quite experienced. After she finished speaking, the place was quiet for a moment. Then, the older women started to giggle, and the younger wives blushed.
At this time, a child's voice popped up, "Which aspect is that?"
"Go away, little kid, go away. You have no hair on your mouth, but you just keep asking about adults' business!" Obviously, the child was driven away by this group of women.
Once such a charged topic started, it was hard to stop. Just as the room was cleared, someone cleared their throat and continued the conversation. "Speaking of which, do you remember the Dragon Boat Race on the Dragon Boat Festival this year? After Young Master Qin's dragon boat team won the championship, the young athletes couldn't help but play in the water, getting their clothes soaked. When we got ashore, I happened to be close to him. Although he was wearing black silk pants, I had good eyesight and saw a huge bag..."
Hearing such fierce words, Qin Sheng's still young and handsome face turned green and red. He was only fifteen years old. Originally, when he heard the first sentence that he was better than Xie Zhan, he was quite happy, but after hearing the rest, his face became darker and darker.
Upon hearing this, Qin Sanlang looked his younger brother over and over again, and said jokingly, "Oh, our younger brother has grown up to an age that people look forward to."
Qin Sheng gritted his teeth in shame and anger, "Third brother!"
Qin Sanlang burst into laughter immediately, "Hahahaha..."
"Brother, don't bother with him!"
Qin Heng kicked him, signaling him to stop.
Third Brother Qin finally stopped laughing, and then said seriously, "Why are you yelling? This is a strength after all, right? Other men don't have it yet." After saying this, he laughed again, hahahaha.
Qin Heng couldn't help laughing and patted his little brother's shoulder, "Don't mind, these ladies didn't mean it."
Qin Sheng's face turned red with anger, "Qin Lao San, are you itching for a fight?" As he said this, he raised his fist in a protest.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Qin Sanlang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and admitted defeat. There was nothing he could do. It was because Qin Xiaoliu was too powerful and he was no match for him. He felt so sad.
The wedding procession in front finally walked away, and their carriage was able to move.
