Chapter 99 Finally relieved
Qin Silang and Qin Sheng were both martial artists, so they walked very fast and soon arrived at the main courtyard.
As soon as they met, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but ask about how her husband and their second mother, Erlang and others were doing in the northern border.
Qin Silang naturally replied that everything was fine and talked about their life in the northern border.
Mrs. Qin knew that her husband and children were doing well over there, so she felt relieved and let him go talk to his brothers.
Qin Sanlang couldn't wait to ask first, "Old Four, why are you personally escorting these goods back to Chang'an?"
They had received reports of war: the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Shanxu tribes were plundering southward, and the northern border was plunged into war. Although the furs and other items he was escorting were valuable, they should not have left the northern border at this time.
Qin Silang sighed. So many things had happened in his hometown. How could he not come back?
What is the condition of my mother?
How's the matter of my eldest brother remarrying?
Did my third sister-in-law’s delivery go smoothly?
Most importantly, the second daughter of the Lu family, whom the Empress Dowager had arranged for Ah Sheng to marry, was infertile. Isn't this too much?!
What he didn't say was that their father stood outside the camp for half the night after receiving the news that the Queen Mother had forced a marriage on A Sheng.
How can they feel at ease if they don’t see all these things in person and just receive a few letters from home?
Even though the eldest brother wrote to explain the whole story, including that his fiancée had been replaced, that Lv Desheng had a bad reputation, and that Lv Songli herself was not as outstanding as Zhao Yutan, they all felt that he had been wronged.
Also, Asheng is their youngest brother, and when he got married, they, as his older brothers, prepared generous gifts for him.
When Qin Sanlang saw the fourth brother's behavior, he knew that they all thought his eldest brother only reported good news and not bad news. He immediately stood up, put his arm around him, and went to explain.
Lu Songli was now the Qin family's unmarried daughter-in-law, and everyone present was very satisfied with her. Silang didn't know her well, so when he mentioned her, it was inevitable that there would be some inappropriateness. Although this was understandable, it was best avoided if possible.
Speaking of Lü Songli, Qin Sanlang focused on her achievements during this period. Of course, he was only discussing the things that were publicly known to everyone. There were some hidden matters that they didn't know as fully, but with his ability, he could still deduce most of them.
Even if it is what is said on the surface, it can be seen that this woman, Lu Songli, is not an ordinary person.
Qin Silang nodded first and said affirmatively, "The Zhao family is like this, so we really can't accept them." But, "Is Lu Songli really that outstanding?"
Qin Silang was half-believing and half-doubting, but he knew his third brother, a smiling fox. Someone who even he praised highly must be very outstanding, and Lu Songli, as a woman, was even more rare.
This wasn't right. What was the Xie family doing? How could they make such an unwise decision? Qin Silang couldn't understand why the powerful Xie family had lost so much?
Qin Sanlang rolled his eyes. "Why would I lie to you? Just look at the result and you'll know what I said is true."
Qin Silang thought along the lines of what his third brother said. Indeed, regardless of whether his third brother's words were true or false, he should just look at the results.
The Lu family, which was weak and alone, faced the attack launched by the Zhao family and the two Zhao and Xie families behind it. The Lu family withstood it and even counterattacked to make the two families suffer considerable losses. This is real ability.
Qin Sanlang said, "A Sheng was able to be married to Lü Songli by the Queen Mother this time. It was pure luck. He picked up a big opportunity."
Once this news came out, who knows how the Xie family would beat their chests and stamp their feet. Anyway, he fully supported Ah Sheng and Lu Songli's engagement. He couldn't let his brother ruin this without knowing the reason. Compared to Zhao Yutan, Lu Songli was inferior to her in terms of childbearing. In other aspects, Zhao Yutan was completely superior.
Qin Silang agreed with this statement very much.
When a person's excellence exceeds the scope of ordinary people, we cannot demand her with worldly eyes. When it is time to do something, do it; when it is time to stop, stop. People like Lu Songli don't care much about other people's evaluation of themselves.
Qin Silang quickly changed his attitude towards this marriage and decisively stopped mentioning Lu Songli's fertility defect.
Their Qin family has always respected the strong, no matter how strong they are in martial arts or how outstanding their wisdom is.
"What does Ah Sheng think?"
Ah Sheng was a young man with a clear sense of right and wrong. Qin Silang was certain that he no longer had any feelings for his former fiancée, Zhao Yutan. He was a clean young man, and his future sister-in-law was so smart. If they got along well with him, they would definitely be able to win him over.
Qin Silang was very confident. Aside from fighting, he could say that Ah Sheng was no match for his future wife. He just wondered what Ah Sheng thought about continuing the family line.
Qin Sanlang thought of Ah Sheng's words, and his expression was indescribable.
"how?"
Qin Sanlang glanced at Qin Sheng's clueless and careless appearance because of joking with his elder brother. He said with a hardened heart, "He said he has five brothers and six nephews. When it comes to the continuation of the family line and the reception, one more or one less won't make a difference."
Qin Silang: ...
Very good, Xiaoxiaoliu, that's what you said. It seems that the older brothers don't beat him enough.
The reception for the Qin family's descendants is all the responsibility of them, the older brothers, so it has nothing to do with him, right?
Forget it, as long as Ah Sheng himself doesn't feel wronged. Just like Ah Sheng said, at worst, the older brothers can just have a few more children, and if Ah Sheng and his sixth brother and sister-in-law need them, they can just adopt one or two. And they have to raise their sons well, so that they can be filial to their sixth uncle and aunt.
After the two brothers finished talking, they returned to the main hall.
Seeing that everything was fine at home and his mother's condition was improving, Qin Silang was relieved. He thought that the arranged marriage that had caused Ah Sheng so much injustice was unexpectedly good, and his face showed a look of relief.
At this time, breakfast was delivered from the kitchen, and the family had a lively meal together.
After breakfast was cleared away, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat.
Mrs. Qin and the pregnant Nie Yunniang sat aside. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, and did not disturb the conversation of the four brothers.
When the four brothers of the Qin family get together, they inevitably talk about military affairs.
"The prince and his entourage went north, and you didn't run into them?"
Qin Silang shook his head, "Maybe we took different routes and missed each other." They took a shortcut when they came back, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage should have taken the official road.
Qin Heng frowned when he heard this.
Qin Silang suddenly thought, "The prince was escorted north by the five military camps outside the city? Why didn't A Sheng go?" Everyone knew that Qin Sheng was extremely powerful, and the prince's people couldn't be unaware of it, but A Sheng stayed behind. There must be something wrong.
The prince went north to visit the troops and was escorted by elite soldiers from the five military camps outside the city. Qin Sheng was originally among them.
Qin Sheng told the truth about the marriage.
It wasn't that Qin Sheng didn't want to escort the prince north, but he didn't want to leave any evidence. Otherwise, even if he did a good job protecting the prince, if he missed the wedding date, the Queen Mother would probably have something to say. A single sentence of disrespecting the royal family and openly disobeying the order could punish them.
He left the choice to his superiors.
When his superior heard that the Queen Mother required that his marriage to the Lu family must be completed within two months of the imperial decree granting the marriage, and then thought about the fact that his wife was the second daughter of Lu Yushi,
His superior felt that he had no say in the matter, so he simply passed Qin Sheng's transfer order up the chain of command.
Finally, Qin Sheng's transfer order was presented to the Crown Prince, who simply crossed his name out. His Royal Highness didn't want to confront his grandmother, nor did he want to create unnecessary complications. He also didn't think Qin Sheng was important enough to be transferred to his guard corps.
Qin Sanlang knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry, this group of elite soldiers is quite capable. They will have no problem escorting the prince north."
