In Ding'an City, where every inch of land is at a premium, it covers an area of ten acres.
Pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, rockery landscapes and pavilions are all antique.
Although Qin Shijin was not good at governing one party, he was quite capable of collecting and amassing money.
Rumor has it that he is not good at sex, bad at drinking, and is only good at money.
Greedy, snobbish, cowardly!
This is how the world evaluates Qin Shijin.
Concubine Ling was also infected by him and had the personality of a wallflower.
Today, the state pastoral office is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively.
But in the inner courtyard, the situation was extremely tense at this time.
Countless people gathered in front of a room.
This room is where Xiao Yurong lives.
However, there were four strong men from the Tianwu Realm guarding the room.
It’s hard to fly without wings!
Boom!
Suddenly the door opened wide and a figure flew out.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
Following this figure was a red wedding dress that was torn into tatters.
"lady!"
When everyone around saw this figure, their expressions suddenly changed, and they all gathered around and helped him up with concern.
This is a middle-aged woman with extremely thin lips. Her appearance can only be described as average. No matter how well she takes care of herself, she cannot hide the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
But at this time, she was in a very embarrassed state, with a gray face, and the clothes on her body were burnt in many places.
"Xiao Yurong, I am your aunt, how dare you hit me!"
The middle-aged woman stood up, raised her eyebrows, and shouted angrily into the room.
She was beaten out by Xiao Yurong just now.
Not only did this make her lose face, but most importantly, her newly made wedding dress was torn.
How can you get married?
"If I want to marry you, I will never marry you!"
A cold shout sounded from within the room, and it was Xiao Yurong's voice.
"Haha, if I can get married, what's your business? Let me tell you, you have to get married today if you don't want to, and no one can stop me."
Auntie sneered and continued to rush into the room.
"Rufeng, wait."
At this moment, an old voice sounded.
The crowd dispersed, and an elderly couple with gray hair walked over, with a middle-aged man beside them.
The speaker was the white-haired old man with extraordinary aura.
The old man wore a dark red wedding robe and held a gilt dragon-headed crutch in his hand. Although he was not young, his eyes were not cloudy, but as bright as beads.
This person is Qin Shijin, the governor of Lingzhou.
Beside him were his wife and son.
"Father, look at this kid Yu Rong. He is too ignorant. It's okay to beat me out, but he ruined this wedding dress. It took three tailors ten days to make it."
Seeing Qin Shijin and others, my aunt's face suddenly changed and turned into a look of grievance.
Holding the torn wedding dress in both hands, he walked to Qin Shijin and cried softly.
"When I run out of clothes, I just need to make another one."
Qin Shijin spoke slowly, and then walked to the room.
"Yu Rong, be obedient. Prince Xuanjiao's wedding team is already on the way. If you don't like the wedding dress, we can just make it again. You are already a grown man, so you can't act like a child anymore."
Qin Shijin smiled and his tone was full of endearment.
This made the aunt behind her have a look of deep jealousy in her eyes.
"Grandpa, I won't marry."
Hearing Qin Shijin's voice, Xiao Yurong paused slightly, but still decisively refused.
"Yu Rong, don't make trouble. Prince Xuanshao is the prince of Qingshao Kingdom, and he is a genius on the Qianlong List. No matter his life experience or personal strength, he is more than worthy of you."
The middle-aged man beside Qin Shijin spoke, his tone full of majesty.
This is Qin Shijin's son and Xiao Yurong's uncle.
"Besides, this marriage is the Queen's order, and your mother also nodded. There must be no mistakes."
The middle-aged man was naked. If his father had not protected him, he would have been kidnapped directly if he had his own will.
"Guangde, please stop saying a few words!"
Qin Shijin scolded, and then the middle-aged man stopped talking.
"Sir, Guangde is right. This is a good marriage. We are of the right family, and the queen has granted us the marriage. Is there anything she can't be satisfied with?"
Finally, Xiao Yurong's grandmother couldn't help but speak.
The old woman had a serious preference for sons over daughters. In her eyes, only her own son was the most precious.
As for Xiao Yurong, the Qin family has served him with delicious food and drinks for more than ten years, and now it’s time to repay him.
If the marriage is successful this time, the Qin family will also be able to establish relations with the Sharman clan, and will be as stable as Mount Tai in controlling Lingzhou in the future.
Qin Shijin also understands the pros and cons of this.
That's why he nodded and agreed to the marriage.
It's just that Xiao Yurong has always been the apple of his eye, and even at this point, he doesn't want to push her too hard.
in the room.
Xiao Yurong sat alone.
Compared with the time in Kyoto, Xiao Yurong looked very haggard at this time, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
All the treasures on her body were taken away, except for the jade medal hanging around her neck, which was saved because of her stubborn resistance.
Her eyes were red at this time, and she had obviously cried.
She never imagined that the first thing she would face when she returned to Lingzhou would be marriage.
And she didn't know about this beforehand, and even her mother didn't tell her.
Obviously he deliberately hid it from himself.
What makes Xiao Yurong sad the most is her grandfather, who used to love her very much.
This time he didn't stand on his side either.
Whether it is mother, grandparents, uncles and aunts, everyone is smiling.
However, they did not ask for their own opinion.
What kind of Prince Gensame, what kind of Qingsame Kingdom, what kind of marriage.
What does it have to do with me?
I don't want to marry, let alone a stranger.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yurong reached out and touched the jade communication plaque on his neck.
Five days ago, she finally sent a message out of desperation.
The entire state pastorate was a dark abyss to her.
Only this jade medal for communication is her only light of hope.
"Brother Ninth, where are you? Come and save me!"
Xiao Yurong opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice.
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked out the window, like a canary in a cage, yearning for the blue sky and freedom outside.
"Father, we can't wait any longer, otherwise Prince Xuanshao will arrive soon."
Outside the room, Qin Guangde frowned and spoke quickly.
The time agreed upon by both parties is today. If Prince Xuanji comes and Xiao Yurong still looks like this, it will not look good.
"Yes, old man, Yu Rong will get married sooner or later. Marrying Prince Xuanxiao is a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes. Please give the order quickly."
Xiao Yurong's grandmother was also listening to him.
Qin Shijin's eyes were full of struggle.
Finally sighed.
He gave orders to the four Tianwu Realm experts around the room.
"Bring the princess out!"
Xiao Yurong was absolutely unable to resist the four powerful men in the Tianwu Realm.
This time, I have to use force.
Just when four Tianwu realms were about to break through the door.
A strange voice suddenly sounded:
"Who gave you the courage to bully my third sister?"
