"I heard that a secret letter from Weizhou has been passed by." The old voice showed strength and domineeringness. Qiu Zongzhang ignored the servant who was guarding the door and pushed open the bedroom door.
"Second Grandpa." Qiu Feng waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat. He seemed to have been used to Qiu Zongzhang's rude side. "The situation in Weizhou has changed, and it just so happened that the second grandpa needed to make an idea."
Qiu Feng was wearing a big red brocade robe. Even the dark night was dripping with water, he couldn't feel the cold. He walked over and handed over the secret letter he had just read.
"You are young and have little experience, so I still have to let me decide." Qiu Zongzhang spoke with his seniority. He sat down on the ring chair with a proud and arrogant expression. He took the secret letter and read it.
Qiu Zongzhang frowned and looked patiently with his hands.
After returning to the chair and sitting down, Qiu Feng picked up the tea cup and slowly drank the tea, but there was unabashed sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
After a while, Qiu Feng put down his cup, his attitude seemed respectful but was actually full of disdain and contempt. "Now Jin Yu's reputation is gone in Weizhou and even the entire Longyou Road. There must be the work of the Yang family of the General's Mansion. I think it is
The Yang family was unwilling to get engaged with Jingyuan, so they deliberately discredited Jinyu's reputation."
If Qiu Jinyu really died because of saving Yang Xu, the marriage would be a foregone conclusion. But now Qiu Jinyu has become a hypocritical villain who is eager for quick success and instant benefits and is greedy for power. The Yang family does not accept this affection, and its intention is self-evident.
"It's outrageous!" Qiu Zongzhang shouted angrily, slapped the table with a slap, and his beard was so angry that he cursed sternly, "I didn't expect that the General's Mansion would be so despicable. I'm planning to die without evidence!"
Qiu Zongzhang's scolding could be heard throughout the yard. When he was tired of scolding, Qiu Feng then asked incisively: "Second Grandpa, it's useless to say more. How should we deal with it? Second Grandpa still needs to have an idea."
"I will definitely not let Jin Yu die if such a shameless villain arrives in the vanguard. When I arrive in Yingwu County, I will carry Jin Yu's coffin to the door in person!" Qiu Zongzhang spoke viciously, looking angry, but
But his eyes were dodging guiltily.
"Fortunately, my uncle asked the second grandfather to come and take charge. When we arrived in Yingwu County, we followed the second grandfather's command." Qiu Feng pretended to thank him, "Since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of the situation that the situation is not yet uncontrollable, and we will hurry up and rush there quickly.
Xiangwu County.”
After saying that, Qiu Feng got up and walked towards the door, and ordered the servant outside the door: "Transfer the orders of the second grandfather, everyone will set off immediately!"
"Yes!" The servant responded immediately.
In the room, Qiu Zongzhang was stunned for a moment. The servant who wanted to object but unfortunately ran away had already shouted loudly. Everyone immediately took action, packed their luggage, prepared food, and took the horse out of the backyard...
Two quarters of an hour later.
The horse was running, even the speed of the carriage was extremely fast. Under the bumps, Qiu Zongzhang stared at him in anger, but could only hold on to the inner wall of the carriage with both hands to prevent himself from being pushed out, "Slow down! Ouch...I
This old bone...you're deaf..."
Above the horse, Qiu Feng, wearing a crane cloak, listened to the intermittent pain, and a cold-blooded smile appeared on his pale face, "Everything speed!"
Qiu Zongzhang in the carriage was no longer able to shout pain, so he could only curse Qiu Feng, who was indecent and thought that he would teach him a lesson when the carriage stopped.
...
It was already ten days away, but when Qiu Feng was rushing to go on a fast horse, he arrived at Linzhou Prefecture on the fifth day. After several hours of repair, the group headed straight for Yingwu County.
Qiu Mansion.
"Xiaoyu, are you leaving?" In shock, Yang Xu stood up suddenly, but accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the table, and immediately packed it up in a hurry.
Qiu Zongxi looked at Yang Xu who was in a daze and spoke in disgust: "Okay, don't cause trouble for A Nuan."
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally stepped aside and asked He Nuan to clean up the desktop.
"The snow on the official road has not melted yet. If you leave it for a while, do you think I am not good at teaching me?" In the end, Qiu Zongxi's words were obviously a threat of retreating to advance.
Zhan Feiyu looked at the old and the young man with laughter and tears, "Sir, the new year has passed, and it will probably be February when he leaves Longyou Road."
The terrain of Longyou Road is narrow and has a large span from east to west. It is as fast as a carriage, and it cannot be walked out for less than half a month. In February, it is suitable for studying anywhere.
Qiu Zongxi looked unhappy and looked cruel and was about to drive people away immediately. "It seems that Longyoudao cannot keep you in this barren land."
In fact, in terms of literary style, Jiangnan is more prosperous. Even the prefectures near Jiangnan Road have a top scholar or talented man every few years. Longyou Road is harassed by barbarians all year round. Not to mention that the whole nation is a soldier, you can practice martial arts.
There are more people than scholars.
"Grandpa Qiu, don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu." Yang Xu spoke. Although he couldn't bear to let it go, Yang Xu knew that Xiaoyu would leave the banquet that was over in the world.
This useless brat! Qiu Zongxi stared at Yang Xu, who was disconnected at the critical moment. Who was he trying to keep him like this? This brat didn't even know how to appreciate it.
Angry, Qiu Zongxi stood up and said, "If you want to leave, I can't control you."
Looking at Qiu Zongxi who was leaving with his sleeves, Zhan Feiyu sighed helplessly.
"Grandpa Qiu just can't bear to leave." Yang Xu quickly explained, but he felt uncomfortable. Looking at his hands dyed with ink, he made an excuse, "Xiaoyu, I'll wash my hands first."
Looking at Yang Xu who was leaving immediately afterwards, Zhan Feiyu could only smile bitterly. In fact, she felt reluctant to leave, but Xiangwu County was not her home after all.
He Nuan cleaned up the ink on the desk. Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but persuaded him warmly: "Miss, come back to visit Mr. Qiu and Mr. Xu when you have the opportunity in the future."
In fact, even He Nuan knew that when Zhan Feiyu passed the provincial examination the next year, she was afraid she would go to the capital. Longyou Road was thousands of miles away, and maybe this parting would last for the rest of her life.
Zhan Feiyu nodded, "A glass of wine for the spring breeze of peach and plum blossoms, ten years of lanterns in the night rain in the rivers and lakes."
On the other side, looking at Yang Xu who came out of his heels, Qiu Zongxi stopped and glared at him for a while. Then he spoke unhappily: "You are a elm-head that is not open, you don't know how to keep it.
Ah? Are you stupid or not!"
Yang Xu, who was scolded, drooped his head and looked at the snow-covered courtyard. After a long time, he spoke weakly: "Xiaoyu wants to take the imperial examination, she must go back."
Zhan Feiyu's hard work in studying Yang Xu knew better than anyone else. Xiaoyu's head was hanging from the beam and pricked his thighs were all for the provincial examination two years later. Yang Xu also knew that reading thousands of books was not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Qiu Zongxi was so angry that he slapped Yang Xu on the back of the head with anger, "You are fat and you are still panting. Is Xiaoyu studying for an official? Why are you so not stupid?"
"What?" Yang Xu, who was scolded, raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, and his mind could not turn around for a moment.
Such a stupid boy was also seen growing up by himself. He held Yang Xu's hand and taught him when he was enlightened. Qiu Zongxi sighed, "The little girl is not for her power and status. Studying in the imperial examination is just her capital for her to settle down and will not become a living in the future.
The woman in the back house who can only rely on her husband!”
Qiu Zongxi has lived for more than 70 years. He traveled to the Daqing Dynasty and has also seen many independent women. Not to mention the distance, she talked about Qian's family. She can support the Qian family's business and is also considered a hero among women.
But in fact, what Qiu Zongxi admires most is Zhan Feiyu. He can study so hard at a young age. Whether it is background power or wealth, one day, it will become a passing cloud, but the knowledge in his heart will not change.
Looking at Yang Xu who hadn't understood it, Qiu Zongxi wanted to pry his head open and see if it was filled with water?
But when I thought that Yang Xu was only nine years old after the New Year, I could only break it and say, "If you get married to Xiaoyu, will you be careless in the future? Or will you be favored by your wife and destroy your concubines? Or do you think a woman has no talent
That is virtue, so you have to stick her in the back house?”
Qiu Zongxi didn't ask a question, Yang Xu shook his head once. His stupid look made Qiu Zongxi laugh, "Isn't this done? If you can let Xiaoyu live freely, why should she study hard and earn fame
?”
Zhan Feiyu studied under Mr. Gu. If she wanted to get engaged, it would be like the speculations of those people in the capital. The prince was willing to ask for marriage, but these were all for Mr. Gu.
One day, Master Gu retired and had no power in his hands. Zhan Feiyu did not have a strong family, so her existence became useless.
It would be fine if a man had a little conscience, at most he would put the person in the back house without any concern; but if he met those lucky men, he would probably die of illness and let him spare his wife's position to marry a new man.
Finally, Yang Xu's face turned red all of a sudden, and his voice stuttered in panic, "Grandpa Qiu, why are you talking nonsense... Xiaoyu and I...I don't..."
"You're so stupid! You don't even look down on Xiaoyu's smart person. You can be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Qiu Zongxi glared at him angrily, where to find a girl like Xiaoyu.
Moreover, with Yang Xu's stupid appearance, if the woman he married in the future was like Qiu Jingyuan, the entire general's mansion would probably be destroyed in his hands, and his wife and husband would suffer less.
Looking at Yang Xu who was blushing and frivolous, Qiu Zongxi shook his head and sighed, "Think about it carefully, the little girls around the world have not left yet. If you missed it, you probably have no hope in your life."
Before Yang Xu could speak again, Qiu Zongxi put his hands behind his back and slowly left. He still let the brat think it through before talking.
Getting married to Xiaoyu? Yang Xu just thought about it and rubbed his brain and became a mess. His face was burning and even his ears felt the heat.
Yang Xu never thought before that he was too young, and older General Yang and Yang Shoucheng had never mentioned his marriage. Even if he had to say that, he would have to wait ten years later.
It was also this time when Qiu Jingyuan appeared that Yang Xu felt extremely ridiculous. He asked him to marry Qiu Jingyuan. Yang Xu would rather not get married for the rest of his life. He would never marry such a vicious woman who treats human life as a mustard.
As for Zhan Feiyu... Yang Xu thought of Zhan Feiyu's black and smiling eyes, which were round, like the most beautiful gem. As he thought about it, Yang Xu suddenly laughed.
At this moment, Yang Xu, who was lost, did not notice the figure in the dark at all. Qiu Zongxi, who left first, did not care even if he noticed it. In addition to He Sheng and He Nuan brothers and sisters, there were other people around Zhan Feiyu who were secretly protecting him. They usually do not care.
