Chapter 653

Qin Lei reached out to touch her forehead, tried his hand and said, "If you don't burn it, you must be telling a joke," and said, "It's so funny, haha."

Shiyun also stepped forward to persuade her, "Sister Nianyao, there is no eyebrow on the battlefield, which is not the place where we women should go." However, Nianyao does not speak or interact with them on weekdays, and the relationship between the two parties is really a bit distant, and the persuasion at this time seems really powerless.

Nian Yao smiled at her, then turned her head to Qin Lei and said, "Don't you keep your word?"

"Of course, it counts." Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "But I promised the emperor's grandmother to take good care of you... She won't like you going to the battlefield."

"Just count," Nian Yao patted the bag on her back and said, "From now on, I will go wherever you go." Qin Lei had seen her carrying a bag. At first, she thought it was a clothes for her, but she turned out to be self-indulgent.

Seeing that Qin Lei stopped talking, Nian Yao went straight out to get in the car without giving him a chance to repent.

Qin Lei spread his hands and was dumbfounded. When he looked at the ladies, none of the three of them were happy... Seeing that other women insisted on going with their husbands, it would be strange if they could be happy. But they were a little weird about this person... Cousin, everyone was helpless, so they had to go with her. Yun Shang gave Qin Lei a wink, and when he came over, he hummed and said, "Don't take her into the mansion... Otherwise, you will be nice." Qin Lei laughed dryly and nodded quickly.

Shi Yun also felt that she should fulfill her responsibilities as a eldest wife and put her family forward, so she said affectionately: "My husband promises a thousand gold, and I admire them very much. I believe that what you promised us will definitely do, right?"

Qin Lei naturally knew what she was saying, so he nodded and confirmed: "A table of horse hangings is a table of horse hangings." After that, he pretended to be heroic and laughed: "Don't worry, all ladies, I've set out for my husband." But he was quite depressed in his heart: "I won't be too full of words in the future."

He hugged his three wives again, and he also boarded the carriage heading north.

In the carriage, Nian Yao was smiling at him.

Qin Lei was still stern at first... and later, he also smiled.

Alas...man...

After leaving Jingshan City, Qin Lei had to go to Zhongdu. In addition to making arrangements for the matter after leaving Beijing, he also had to attend a wedding as the host.

He kept going all the way until ten miles outside the capital. The shock of the parking car woke Nian Yao who was sleeping in the carriage and rubbed her eyes and said, "Have you arrived?"

"Not yet, you can sleep for a while." Qin Lei whispered: "I'll go see a brother."

Nian Yao nodded in a daze, then curled up on the stool again, leaning against the wall of the car and fell asleep... Although she didn't believe that Qin Lei would visit his friends on the fifth day of the day, that was really a damn thing. But it had nothing to do with her, so naturally she didn't care.

In the early morning of March, it was still a bit chilly. Qin Lei shivered as soon as he got off the carriage. Shi Gan quickly put his woolen cloak on his back. He tightened the collar of his coat and asked in a low voice: "Where is it?"

Although the sky was dim, the solemn expression on Shi Gan's face was still clearly visible. He replied in a deep voice: "Report to the prince, my Shi family's ancestral tomb is just one mile left of the road." Qin Lei nodded and said solemnly: "Take me to worship."

"It is the glory of my Shi family." Shi Gan gave a deep gift to Qin Lei, and led the way in front of him. Along the tree-lined path covered with bluestone slabs, he arrived at a large cemetery. This is the Shi family's cemetery, resting in peace with their ancestors for two or three hundred years.

"Prince, wait a moment, go and report to all ancestors." Shi Gan said softly.

"Follow you." Qin Lei whispered: "You Shi family contributed to me four tiger generals, and you have to thank me for your feelings and reason."

Shi Gan said happily, "Thank you, Prince." Qin Lei was able to go to worship, which was really a big deal for the Shi family to glorify the ancestors.

After burning incense to the ancestors of the Shi family, Qin Lei followed him to the destination of the trip.

The two of them went east along the path, and the weeds became denser the more they walked inside. The dew completely wet Qin Lei's knees, but he felt nothing. He suddenly sighed and showed a faint sadness on his face, saying, "It's been six years..."

Shi Gan nodded and said softly: "It was gone at this time of the first year of Tianyou, and it was exactly six years."

"Oh, I haven't come to see him for six years," Qin Lei blamed himself: "Mengzi will blame me for being ruthless." They were going to visit Shi Meng, the brother who took the lead.

"The prince is busy with official duties, and he will be very happy if he can take the time to see the Mengzi brothers." Shi Gan comforted softly.

Qin Lei was about to speak when he heard a faint whimpering sound coming from the distance, and then he heard the black-clothed guards guarded from afar and whispered: "Who is it!" Shi Gan couldn't help but feel creepy and thought to himself: "How could anyone visit the grave at this time? It's not a haunted one, right?" Thinking of this, he protected Qin Lei tightly behind him and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, go quickly, no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, I will hold you back first!"

Qin Lei was not afraid at all. He pushed him aside and whispered, "It's not a ghost, it's her." As he said that, he walked away in search of the sound. Sure enough, he saw that the black guard who had rushed over before had retreated, and it was obvious that the alarm was lifted.

Qin Lei looked at the lonely grave in front and saw a woman in plain clothes kneeling down to him:

"I pay homage to the prince." It was indeed the Zhuang Dieer.

"Get up." Qin Lei slowly walked to the grave and saw a delicately carved marble tomb in front of the grand tomb. He wrote 'The Tomb of Husband', the Great Qin Yonglie Bo Shi Meng, and wrote 'The Ninth Man Zhuang Die'. He sighed deeply and reached out to touch the cold tombstone and said: "When will it come?"

"Go back to the prince, we arrived before nightfall last night." Zhuang Die'er's voice was hoarse and low, obviously crying all night, and she only heard her swallowing: "I want to spend the last night with my husband."

Taking advantage of the lightly bright sky, Qin Lei saw that Zhuang Die'er's hair was completely wet with dew. Although she was wearing a white fur, she was still trembling involuntarily, obviously she was frozen.

Qin Lei frowned slightly and blamed her for "I'm going to get married that day and don't care about my health." He whispered to his lips and swallowed it again... because he remembered that this was in front of Shi Meng, how should he teach Zhuang Die'er a lesson? It's that kid's business, so he shouldn't interrupt.

‘But I guess this guy Shi Meng must be both relieved and distressed now, right?’ Qin Lei patted the tombstone, as if he was patting Shi Meng’s broad back, thinking with a smile.

The two stopped talking, one stood and the other knelt, and stayed quietly in front of Shi Meng's grave until the sky was bright and they could see each other's appearance clearly, Qin Lei asked softly: "How did you come from?"

"The carriage is waiting in Beitou." Zhuang Dieer whispered.

"Go back, sister-in-law." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "When the sun rises, a new life is about to begin. You have been delayed for three years. If you can't say goodbye to yesterday, Shi Meng will be very sad."

"Actually, I thought I could go out, so I wanted to follow Mr. Zhang for the rest of my life according to his intentions." Zhuang Dieer wrapped her fur tightly, looked at her husband's tombstone with her eyes straight, and said in a stern voice: "But when I think of Shi Meng being alone from now on, I feel like a big hole was stabbed in my heart, and I can't bear it."

"How could he be alone? Guantao is a good person. He will not stop you from coming to see Shi Meng." Qin Lei said in his chest: "While loyal to Guantao, leave a place for Shi Meng here. You are a smart woman like you, you will not be unable to do it."

"Isn't this unfaithful?" Zhuang Dieer paused for a long time before asking softly after being confused by the prince's statement.

"How could it be unfaithful?" Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "Shi Meng doesn't want you to be alone for the rest of his life, so he tried his best to let you remarry; and Mr. Guantao's love is as deep as the sea, and he took the initiative to let your children continue to be surnamed Shi, which means that he is grateful to Shi Meng and respecting your relationship." As he said that, he looked at her deeply and said, "You are a blessed person. There are two excellent men who love you Ruos, cherish them... Don't let anyone down."

Zhuang Die'er understood a little, and with the help of his personal maid, he slowly stood up and said, "Prince Xie is instructing me. I understand. I will treat Mr. Guantao well, and I will not forget Shi Meng's."

"It's so good." Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "It's better to go back first. I have a few more words to say to Mengzi."

"I will leave." Zhuang Die'er took Qin Leifu's blessing, took a deep look at the blue-black tombstone, and then slowly left with the maid.

Taking her completely away, Qin Lei took out a silver wine pot from his arms, bit the bottle plug, and slowly spread it on the grave, and laughed and said, "What have you tasted? By the way, your favorite Wuliangchun is aged for ten years, and is the same age as our Hengjun Farm."

After sprinkling the wine, he put the wine pot upright on the monument. Qin Lei laughed and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that the wife I found for you was so popular. You don't know that our two military advisors, except me, can be said to be the two best men in the world, who are fighting openly and secretly for her, and they all have a wonderful time."

"Yes, it's Mr. Guantao and Le." Qin Lei sat next to Shi Meng's grave, with his arm on the tombstone, just like when he was talking with his back and Hu Chuhai, and said with a smile: "Of course, you also know that when it comes to being foolish, ten Guantao tied together is not a match for Le Buyi. Everyone looked at the one-sided situation and thought that it would be a foregone conclusion for whom the family fell." As he said that, he slapped his hands and said in disbelief: "But what do you think, your amazing wife actually agreed to Guantao during the Chinese New Year, and she was so angry that Le Buyi, who claimed to be 'Yushu Linfeng, a young woman killer', was almost paralyzed."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It's really a woman's heart, it's a needle under the sea. I don't know what she is thinking. You are her husband, do you know?" After saying that, he shook his head hard and said, "I guess it's so bad... it's just you," as he said, his voice choked up, and his nose felt sore. She quickly covered her face, so that she didn't let tears flow down. He only heard his lips tremblingly and said, "...I miss you, brother."

After sniffing a few times, Qin Lei took a deep breath and said with a forced smile: "Look at me, I'm not promising, brother, we're going to laugh today. I know that for you, Die'er's happiness is better than anything else."

The east is full of golden light. It turns out that the rising sun is coming, and a new day has begun.

Qin Lei then stood up and whispered, "I'm going to the east to avenge you. Maybe I won't be able to see you in three to five years." Finally, he patted the stone tablet and raised his voice and said, "But on the day of the King's triumphant reign, I will definitely come to drink and celebrate the celebration wine with you!" After that, he strode to the avenue.

After worshiping Shi Meng, Qin Lei entered the capital and went straight into the palace, telling the difference between Tianyou Emperor. Since he clarified his future relationship, the two had no grudges and had a very tacit understanding of each other. After Tianyou's five years, Qin Lei's attention gradually turned to military affairs, especially since last autumn, he almost stopped inquiries about internal affairs. The burden of Tianyou's new policy and the stability of the court all fell on Qin Ting and Zhang Jianzhi, the king.

What is overwhelming is that these two people actually managed the government more smoothly, not only eliminating the contradictions in all aspects, but also improving administrative efficiency. The reason is that Qin Lei was a soldier, and he was brave and ruthless in his good deeds, but it was too intense in his bad deeds. If he came to the government in person, eliminated the old deeds and cleared the atmosphere of evil, it would naturally be invincible. But there is a saying that "governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman", and he would be very angry and would be a pot of trouble.

At this time, the government affairs were handed over to the gentle and delicate Majesty Tianyou, and the experienced and superb Mr. Guantao, who was just in time to heal the trauma caused to the Qin Dynasty several times and allow the country to operate on a more stable track. It is also a coincidence.

After leaving the palace, Qin Lei went to Zhang Jianzhi's government office to attend Mr. Guantao's wedding... The bride was Zhuang Dieer who had been mourning for his ex-husband for seven years.
