After reading Fu Mingyu's letter, Mr. Guo immediately sat in his chair and fell into a daze.
"Although these five younger brothers and sisters have never met, they are really courageous!" The eldest son of the Qin family said in a low voice.
"Go and call your fifth brother." Duke Qin Liyang frowned deeply.
"Yes." Qin Feng clasped his fists, "But if I find my fifth brother and rush back all night, I'm afraid it will be dawn."
"I'll just wait for him." Qin Liyang waved his hand.
Qin Feng hurriedly walked out, mounted his horse and chased his brother overnight. Qin Rui was on patrol today, so he should be far away from Linchuan.
By the time Qin Feng found Qin Rui and the two of them rushed back to Linchuan Commandery Mansion, it was almost noon the next day.
"Dad, I heard it was a letter from Ayu?" Qin Rui was uneasy all the way. His eldest brother came to see him and didn't say what it was about. He only said that it was a letter from his daughter-in-law. This letter made his father
He was very embarrassed. He asked several times but couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stopped asking and just asked his father directly.
"Wash the mud off your face first." Qin Liyang frowned again when he saw his two sons came back and stomped on the mud.
It’s not that I dislike my two sons for being dirty, but it’s been so long since the beginning of spring, and the snow on the ground hasn’t melted much. Only the snow trampled by horse hooves on the road will gradually melt away and merge with the mud on the ground, making it muddy.
It's terrible. When it gets cold again at night, it will slip when anyone walks on it the next day.
This kind of climate, coupled with the difficulties caused by the bandits in Nanduan Mountain, made this journey really difficult for my daughters-in-law.
Qin Feng and Qin Rui took the towels handed over by the housekeeper and wiped their faces randomly, then wiped away all the mud particles that flew up from the horses' hooves.
"Did something happen to Ayu?" Qin Rui was very anxious in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless to be anxious. Looking at his father, it didn't look like something had happened to Fu Mingyu, but rather like he had encountered a problem!
"Look at this." Qin Liyang handed the letter to Qin Rui. Qin Rui quickly picked it up and read it carefully from top to bottom, for fear of missing even a word. When he finished reading, he felt relieved.
In one breath, "It's okay!" He laughed. God knew he would be worried to death all the way!
"You are still laughing! The wife you are looking for is too courageous. What is this? This is collusion with bandits!" Qin Liyang frowned and looked at his stupid little son who was smiling so hard that his eyebrows were almost invisible, although he felt happy in his heart.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't spare him.
"Dad!" Qin Rui hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his father's arm, "Ayu is very measured! If she thinks it is feasible, then it will be feasible. Hasn't she already colluded with the bandits? This is not a letter asking Dad
?”
"What do you mean?" Qin Liyang raised his eyebrows and pointed at his hand that was protected by Qin Rui, "Let me go! Isn't it disgusting? How old are you? You are still using the tricks you used when you were three years old to deal with your father.
I?"
"Oh, aren't I afraid that you will be angry, dad? Don't be angry with Ayu, just come at me if you are angry!" Qin Rui still hugged his father's handiwork with a playful smile.
Qin Feng stood aside and couldn't help laughing.
"You are so ridiculous, get your brother away quickly!" Qin Liyang said to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng came over and tore Qin Rui off his father's arm, "Fifth brother, are the fifth brothers and sisters reliable?"
"Reliable!" Qin Rui quickly stood up straight, raised his hand and said in assurance, "Dad, I'm not telling you that I have never seen a more reliable girl than her in the capital! Otherwise, how could I possibly marry her?
She's back!"
"Bah!" Qin Liyang couldn't help but spat at his youngest son, "Bragging, you are the best."
"Really!" Qin Rui really corrected his expression this time, "Dad, I really didn't brag this time! Ayu grew up in front of the Queen Mother, and she is the most measured in dealing with people and doing things.
Dad, what happened at home a few days ago?
Yu didn't mention a word in front of me. She always reported good things to me but not bad things. It was only after listening to my eldest and second brothers talking about it that I realized that so many things had happened in the family. My mother also wrote a letter and told my father about it.
, these things are basically handled by Ayu,
You all know it, but you are hiding it from me. If Ayu did things without any sense of proportion, how could she handle the things that happened at home in an orderly manner? As well as the matter of our military rations this time, if Ayu hadn't predicted it in advance, our
The soldiers are real
I'm going to be hungry. In fact, I can't eat for a long time. What if someone secretly instigates and remonstrates? Didn't the eldest brother and the second brother arrest a few people who intended to incite? Dad, when these things are connected, is it possible?
Don’t you see any merit?”
"Okay!" Qin Liyang's face suddenly darkened, "You don't have to say it anymore."
In fact, he knew what Qin Rui was going to say. Someone in the court was already dissatisfied with their Qin family. These things didn't seem to have much connection, but secretly there seemed to be a thread connecting all these little things.
Qin Feng and Qin Yan, the second eldest son of the Qin family, indeed discovered that someone was spreading rumors in the military camp, saying that the army was out of food and that the Qin family was going to use food mixed with gravel and rice bran to replenish the supply. These rumor spreaders quickly
Caught by Qin Feng and Qin Yan
The question is, what was mixed into the military rations was originally a secret. How did these rumor mongers know? If it were not for the food purchased at a low price from Fu Mingyu, I am afraid that such rumors would really be spread.
Take it seriously!
It is said that this dynasty is shaking the morale of the army and the majesty and reputation of the Qin family in the army~!
Just because Qin Liyang didn't talk about these things didn't mean he didn't understand them in his heart.
In fact, he had already thought about it a lot when he asked Qin Feng to find Qin Rui.
Now his daughters-in-law are blocked in Nanduan Mountain. Is this really a coincidence? His family has traveled to Nanduan Mountain so many times, and this is the first time that thieves have tried to rob the Qin family's carriage! If it weren't for eating
A bear's heart and a leopard's courage mean that someone is pushing behind the scenes.
If something happens to the female relatives of the Qin family, can the Qin family still stay stable in the border area?
So before Qin Rui came, Qin Liyang already had some concerns in his heart, but he wanted to hear his son's evaluation of his daughter-in-law in person.
After all, he had never met Fu Mingyu. He might have met him at a royal banquet before returning to Beijing, but who would especially stare at the people around the Queen Mother? Especially a man like him.
As long as Qin Rui said that Fu Mingyu was reliable, he would agree to this matter.
After all, his wife was full of praise for Fu Mingyu in her letter to him. She said that their family really burned a lot of incense to get Fu Mingyu into the house!
Since his wife and son both thought Fu Mingyu was good, he was determined to let Fu Mingyu do it!
