Qin Huaidao thought carefully about Fang Xuanling's explanation and asked indifferently: "The Holy Master is good at retreating in order to advance. It is clear that the prince deserves to die, but he behaves like I have done something wrong and still have to express gratitude to him. It is simply... if I
If you guessed it right, as long as I don't tell you, there will be no reward for the great work of quelling the chaos. If you ask for it, you have to continue to help the Holy One, such as the Jiangnan disaster, right?"
"I really can't hide anything from you, but we old guys are on your side, what are you going to do?" Fang Xuanling said bluntly.
Qin Huaidao said angrily: "You actually hit me with a wedding gift. Do you really think that I am asking for a princess? I would like to send you a message. Thank you for not marrying me. I think I can do something, and you can give me something of equal value in exchange for a word."
Wrong, just submit the original words."
"The favor of not marrying is an equal exchange?"
The three of them smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If it is possible, no one wants to marry the princess, which is simply a shame for men, but due to various factors, they have to agree. Now that the Holy One has canceled the wedding period, isn't it a favor not to marry? The problem is that saying this is too disrespectful to the Holy One.
, this is really not giving any face.
Exchange of equal value is not appropriate either. Thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from the emperor. As a minister, how can you ask for benefits? How can you be a minister? If it is spread out, it will damage your reputation.
However, Qin Huaidao was resolute and stood up and said: "Three uncles, I know what you are worried about, and I wholeheartedly think about it for you, but have you ever thought about it, why should I compromise? I will help the imperial court suppress the rebellion after nine deaths, and forget it if I don't get rewarded for my merits."
, and threatened me with marriage, and even wanted me to compromise, and begged him humbly, how could this be possible? The younger generation lacks everything but bones. Without an official position, he is light-weighted. Wouldn't it be happy to stay in Qinjiazhuang and be free and at ease?
, why bother to do that thankless thing? It’s late, let’s take a rest.”
After saying that, Qin Huaidao turned around and left. Do you really think that the Holy One can do whatever you want? Do you really think that you are begging him? He called a few servants to send the three of them back to their rooms to rest.
When I came to the bedroom, I saw He'er making love to her daughter under the wax light. I quickly stepped forward and said, "He'er, don't do it. It's a waste of your eyes. You won't be able to see clearly in a few years."
"Oh!" He'er looked cute.
Qin Huaidao helped He'er go to bed and lay down, and said: "He'er, the Holy Father sent someone to send you a land deed with ten thousand acres of fertile land. He said it was compensation for you, but I refused."
"If you refuse, just refuse. What is the future of farming? In the past two years, I have understood clearly. Farmers work hard all their lives for food and clothing. This has been the case in all dynasties. It is not as good as doing business. Although doing business is a lowly job, our family is different. We don't have to worry about status.
Question." He'er said nonchalantly.
Qin Huaidao was a little moved and said with a smile: "You are in charge of our family's money. Even if we really marry a princess in the future, we will not separate the family. You will also be in charge of our family's money. You are the real wife of the house and the real wife in my heart."
He'er was startled and said quickly: "That won't work, we can't lose the rules, and we don't have to be said that our family doesn't understand etiquette. As long as the young master is willing, as long as he can follow the young master, He'er doesn't want any identity.
"
A good marriage is a two-way street, not a one-sided relationship.
He'er didn't understand this principle, but he practiced it.
Qin Huaidao had seen various "white lotuses" and "green tea masters" in later generations. He could see that He'er was sincere and moved his heart deeply. He wrote down this feeling without saying anything else.
That night, the two slept in each other's arms, feeling particularly at ease.
Early the next morning.
Qin Huaidao got up to practice as usual. He had a fine steel mace called Huhu Feng. This was made just two days ago. There is a knife hidden in the mace. The blade is two feet long and is suitable for close combat. After practicing the family mace method and the sword technique, he will fight again.
The equipment for boxing, iron and steel was also made recently.
He was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked.
After rinsing off and having breakfast, Qin Huaidao came to the workshop, planning to make a hot pot. After leaving the court, he had nothing to do and was light-hearted. Why not be nice to himself? He didn't have any money.
At noon, a hot pot was prepared and returned to the yard.
He set up a fire under a big tree, and asked him to come down to help bring a table, charcoal, and wash the vegetables. He ordered the frozen mutton to be taken out from the cellar and cut into thin slices, while he cooked the ingredients himself.
The soul of hot pot lies in the ingredients!
He'er came over after hearing the news and looked curiously at the hot pot squatting on the charcoal fire. There was a chicken boiling in it and a large pot full of water. She asked curiously: "Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Get some food. See what you want to eat. If you have it, prepare more. If you don't have it, go buy it."
There were more than a dozen kinds of ingredients on the table, including both meat and vegetables, but they were all raw. He asked curiously: "There are too many, I don't care, how can I eat this?"
"You'll know in a moment." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
Not long after, someone came to report that the King of Jin had invaded.
Qin Huaidao was shocked. Jin Wang Li Zhi was the future successor of the Tang Dynasty. What did Li Er mean by running over here? To ease the conflict?
Or do you want to see if you can get along well with Li Zhi? If you can, you can keep Li Zhi to assist you. If you can't, abandon yourself completely?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Huaidao decided to meet him and motioned to bring him in.
Not long after, a teenage boy came in. He was dressed in rich clothes and had a calmness and nobility that surpassed those of his age. It must be said that Li Er's genetic genes were very strong, and the sons he gave birth to were not bad, but he was too smart.
Instead, he was fooled by his cleverness and ended up not having a good ending.
"Your Majesty, please see the King of Jin." Qin Huaidao saluted calmly, adhering to his duty as a minister, at least not letting others catch him in terms of etiquette.
"I've met my brother-in-law!" Li Zhi returned the greeting and smiled warmly, as if he were an equal.
With the position of a prince, being aloof would only make people disgusted, but to be polite to one's peers and even call him brother-in-law in a low-key manner, the meaning behind this is thought-provoking.
Of course, Li Zhi is the biological son of the Queen and is younger than Yu Zhang, so it is not disrespectful to call him brother-in-law.
Qin Huaidao secretly praised that he was really powerful. He was worthy of coming from the imperial palace. He was very familiar with the ways to win over him. He asked bluntly: "The King of Jin is so polite. I wonder what you can learn from me in my humble residence?"
Li Zhi was stunned by Qin Huaidao's direct method. Shouldn't they be polite to each other, flatter a few words, and then get back to the topic without leaving any trace? If it is so direct, how can it continue?
Fortunately, Li Zhi responded quickly and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is very happy. I came here on the order of my father to ask my brother-in-law about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Please call me."
The posture is very low and full of sincerity.
Asking for advice may be true, but testing is definitely true!
If he said it, he would give in and compromise, and it would also mean that he was willing to support King Jin. Li Er could rest assured. If he didn't say it, it would be another situation.
The emperor's mind is unfathomable.
But Qin Huaidao didn't want to wrong himself, so he smiled calmly and said: "The king of Jin is joking, but I have only a superficial knowledge. Even the rebellion in the north was not put down satisfactorily. It disappointed the emperor and it was difficult to award him a reward. Moreover, the road to the south of the Yangtze River is far away and I know nothing about it."
, coupled with my lack of talent and knowledge, I want to help, but I can’t do anything.”
If you want to have sex for free, there is no way!
Li Zhi's face was startled, and he didn't know how to answer. He said that Qin Huaidao had great talents and great achievements, and he had not yet been rewarded for his contribution to quelling the chaos. He said that Qin Huaidao was disobedient and disobeyed the imperial edict. They did not refuse, but they just said that he had little talent and little knowledge.
Feeling powerless.
For a moment, Li Zhi didn't know what to do.
Qin Huaidao continued to smile and said: "It's a coincidence that King Jin came here today. He is very lucky. You will try the hot pot I made later. Can you have a drink? Have two drinks."
The attitude is warm, then sincere, and it looks like a sincere invitation.
Li Jiefa couldn't guess Qin Huaidao's thoughts and intentions, and didn't want to cause a stalemate, so he took the opportunity to go down the steps: "Okay, then let's meet my brother-in-law. The cold beer brewed by my brother-in-law is excellent, so let's have some shamelessly."
"As a family, if you talk to outsiders, if your sister finds out that I get eaten every time I come to my door, she will definitely scold me. By the way, how is your sister?" Qin Huaidao asked pretending to be casual, firmly controlling the rhythm and initiative of the conversation.
After all, Li Zhi was thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he was a mature young man, his youthful nature was still there, and his character was not bad. He also respected Yuzhang very much. He said truthfully: "Everything is fine with Sister Huang. I went to see her before I came here. Let me see you."
Let me tell you, don’t forget your promise, brother-in-law, what did you promise to Sister Huang?"
"I promised to give her a hot pot meal, but unfortunately I didn't come, so I can only do it next time." Qin Huaidao said nonsense, remembering that when they broke into the Prince's Mansion together, Yu Zhang stepped forward regardless of the consequences, and his heart warmed, and he added: "Take a good look.
How to make hot pot? Take one back and give it to Yuzhang so that she can try it too."
"Okay!" Li Zhi agreed wholeheartedly, and suddenly realized that the key to whether he could get Qin Huaidao's support lay in Yuzhang, and he instantly had an idea in his mind.
