Chapter 7: evicted from home
Chapter 7 Evicted from home
Qin Lang knelt in front of the hall, his whole body was drenched with sweat, and the sweat dripped onto the floor and formed a puddle.
Back to the mansion, the official of the Chang'an county lieutenant complained. Before he could take up the post, Qin Qiong came back.
Qin Lang had just returned from the military meeting in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. The crown prince was there during the meeting. When the meeting ended, the crown prince asked Qin Qiong to speak. Bringing up the marriage between the Qin and Zheng families again, he clearly said that it was hard for him to convince the Zheng family to agree to this marriage, and he hoped that Qin Qiong would not refuse his kindness.
Facing the prince, Qin Qiong only replied that the Qin family was somewhat unworthy of the Zheng family in Xingyang, fearing that it would humiliate the Zheng family's lintel, and said it was still under consideration.
The prince's complexion is not very good-looking, so Qin Qiong should not hesitate any longer.
After returning home in the heat, the Zheng family came. This time, the Zheng family personally sent their clansmen and servants in charge to talk about the wedding and engagement.
"It is difficult for our Zheng family to disobey the prince's will, so we are willing to conclude this marriage regardless of past suspicions."
"The Qin family has to think about this matter a little bit more." Qin Qiong sat there and said.
As soon as this remark came out, the Zheng family members were very unhappy.
"Is the Qin family doing this on purpose?"
A young man even snorted coldly from behind, "Don't be shameless."
"General Qin, accept it as soon as you see it." Then, the Zheng family threw out a list in front of Qin Qiong, but it was the Zheng family who asked the Qin family to pay for the family money.
"Three hundred taels of gold, 1,000 mu of farmland in the suburbs of Chang'an, a mansion in Chang'an, a manor in the suburbs of Bieye, another 3,000 pieces of silk, and a million dollars."
The loss of family wealth of up to millions is simply unprecedented. Even for a military upstart like the Qin family, this is an astonishingly large sum.
When Qin Qiong married Boling Cui's daughter, the family's wealth was the highest at one time, and it only cost a million dollars. Now the Zheng family is asking for more than a few million, and it is already nearly ten million.
Qin Qiong considers that if his son can marry a daughter of the five surnames Zheng, then even if Qin Lang is a concubine, the future will be easy. With the help of his wife's family connections, he can at least have the same future as the son of the noble family.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Qiong planned to agree. If he didn't have enough money, he could sell some fields to make up for it, and then he could borrow some money from his old brothers.
"impossible!"
Qin Lang slammed the table and refused loudly again.
"Are you selling by the catty or by the tael? How much is a tael for tens of thousands of dollars? Does Zheng Shisanniang have a hundred catties, and the ten million loss does not include the normal bride price. Isn't it just the loss of the family fortune?" Just one catty worth 100,000 yuan? A tael of gold is only worth 20,000 yuan. Is your daughter worth more than gold? Pooh, even if there are no women in this world, I won’t marry your Zheng’s daughter!” Qin Lang intentionally tear face.
Although many women of the five surnames like to sell their marriages nowadays and ask for high accompaniment money, they are most jealous of others saying that they sell their daughters.
The Zheng family was furious, and not to be outdone, they scolded back. They scolded the Qin family as nothing but upstarts, rampant when they were proud, and so on.
As a result, Qin Lang was even more impolite, and beat people directly. The Zheng family's poems and etiquettes were passed down from generation to generation. Usually, at most, they just played with swords and rode horses. They were all knocked to the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces. If Qin Qiong hadn't scolded and stopped them, those mean-spirited Zheng family members would have crawled back with broken limbs.
These people got up, cursed and ran away like fleeing.
Qin Qiong was also very angry.
Even if you don’t want to marry, then don’t marry. There is no reason to treat the Zheng family like this. If you do this, you will offend the Zheng family to death.
If this news gets out, Qin Lang is afraid that he will be despised and loathed by the noble families in the future, and the road ahead will be even more difficult.
Unexpectedly, his son actually did something even more outrageous behind his back.
"Say, explain everything clearly to me!" Qin Qiong was extremely annoyed, and had already said that the gods were fighting, and he didn't want Qin Lang, a child like him, to participate blindly. In the end, not only did he not listen to the warning, he even secretly ran to see King Qin , and went under his banner.
This is participating in a conspiracy. One mistake is the heinous crime of copying and beheading all three clans.
Qin Lang didn't expect that his brother-in-law Qin Yong would directly betray him. Facing the furious Qin Qiong, he didn't want to hide it. He told the whole thing in detail, and then stuck his neck to meet Qin Qiong's gaze, "Aye , Kunming Chi's plot is absolutely true, this matter is not as simple as you thought, after three days, only one of the King of Qin and the Crown Prince will survive, do you want to support the Crown Prince or the King of Qin?"
"Nie Zi!"
Qin Qiong blew his beard angrily and stared.
"You are making up nonsense about the Kunming Lake change. How could the prince launch a mutiny at the Qi King's expedition ceremony? He is the prince, the future emperor, and His Majesty has decided to change the title of King Qin to King Shu after repelling the Turks. The contradictions and struggles have been resolved, and the prince has already agreed in front of His Majesty, why does he still do such things? Are you not afraid that His Majesty will abolish him?"
In Qin Qiong's view, the dispute between the prince and King Qin is over, and the emperor has made up his mind, so the prince has no reason to launch a mutiny to murder the king of Qin. The consequences of doing so will be very serious, and the emperor may even abolish the prince's reserve bit, so he has no reason to do so.
Qin Lang also didn't know why Qin Qiong wanted to get into such a corner and couldn't get out. Maybe he didn't want to see brothers and sisters fighting each other, maybe he didn't want to see the world finally return to a unified world, and civil strife started again. But the current situation is no longer something that the emperor can calm down with a single word.
Li Shimin will not be reconciled, and the prince can't rest assured.
Two tigers fight, only one can survive.
"I've never heard of the Kunming Lake Project! How did you know it?" Qin Qiong asked.
"Donggong led Gengcheng Wangzhi to be the crown prince's confidant, and he participated in the conspiracy."
Qin Qiong knew that there was such a person, "How did you know?"
"One of Wang Zhi's grooms is from Ah Huang's hometown. This news was accidentally leaked when they were drinking together."
Qin Lang opened his mouth to talk nonsense, but Dong Gong led Geng Cheng Wang Zhi to know the prince's conspiracy, but Qin Lang did not learn the information from him. In fact, Wang Zhi had a clue to fall into the hands of King Qin, so he had long been arrested. King Qin bribed and instigated rebellion, and became Li Shimin's hidden stake in the East Palace. This matter was actually made public after the Xuanwu Gate incident, but now, it is still a top secret.
Qin Lang just used the historical knowledge of the future to make a hook in advance.
He lied that Wang Zhi's groom was Ah Huang's fellow countryman, and he leaked the secret after drinking, which also made sense.
"Call the old horse!" Qin Qiong said to Qin Yong.
Old Ma Tou was called over, and when he saw the situation, he couldn't help but knelt down.
"Ah Huang, is Wang Zhi's groom from your hometown? Did he accidentally let you know that the prince conspired to kill King Qin in Kunming Lake?" Qin Lang asked Ah Huang first.
Ah Huang was taken aback for a moment.
Then seeing Qin Lang secretly winking at him, he immediately nodded knowingly.
Although Qin Qiong felt that something was wrong, she knew that there was nothing to ask.
"Okay, old horse head, you go down first."
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter first, why did you go to Zhijie in my name, and also went to meet King Qin in secret?" Qin Qiong was still very annoyed. To act like this is simply lawless.
Qin Lang didn't hide it either.
"The crown prince wants to kill the King of Qin, and he will do so quickly. The King of Qin will not sit still. I always think that Aye and our Qin family should stand on the side of the King of Qin. This is not only because Aye has been with the King of Qin for seven years, but also because of the great achievements of the King of Qin , wise and benevolent, he is more qualified to inherit the world than the crown prince, and only under the rule of King Qin can the Great Tang end the turmoil in the world and restore the peaceful and prosperous age!"
"Bastard!" Qin Qiong couldn't agree with these words. He still believed that King Qin's rebellion was a rebellion, unless it was the emperor Yi Chu, and that was the only way for King Qin to rule the world. It's messing up the world.
Back then, Qin Qiong abandoned Zheng to the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the tragic death of more than a dozen wives, concubines and children. Only Qin Lang was lucky enough to survive. Qin Qiong would never want such a human tragedy to happen again.
"Aye, I met King Qin today, and I have already shown my loyalty to King Qin on your behalf."
Qin Qiong only felt bursts of blood rushing up.
Originally intended to be neutral, but now that Qin Lang made such a disturbance, Qin Qiong seemed to be stepping on two boats, swaying left and right on the wall.
"Nizi, do you know what you are doing? This is treason, rebellion, and everyone will be executed!" Qin Qiong's blue veins bulged.
"Aye is also a famous general who fought in troubled times. Li Mi, Wang Shichong and the current emperor who followed back then, which one is not a rebel?"
"Aye, it's getting late. I have to go to the Chang'an county government to take up my post quickly. I can't delay." Qin Lang saw Qin Qiong standing there sighing. Although he knew that his actions disappointed him, he couldn't care less now. It's time for these.
There was a moment of silence.
Qin Qiong walked in front of Qin Lang, and he threw the whip on the ground with which Qin Lang was beaten just now, "You go!"
"I'll go to Chang'an County to report first, and I'll be taught by adults when I come back later!" Qin Lang got up.
But Qin Qiong went and waved her hand, "You have grown up, I can't control you anymore, I let you marry Zheng's daughter, but you refused, and made things so embarrassing. I told you not to meddle in your own business, you But he insisted on interfering in the dispute between the crown prince and King Qin, and even dared to use my name to participate in rebellion outside. Huai Liang, from today onwards, you will never return to this home."
"Aye, what does this mean?" Qin Lang froze for a moment.
"You are the concubine of the family, and sooner or later you will go out and set up a family. Since you feel that your wings are hardened and I can no longer control you, then you go out and set up a new family. From now on, you and this family will be the same. It doesn't matter anymore."
Qin Qiong sighed as she spoke, the disappointment in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Aye wants to kick me out of the house? But all I did was for Aye, for our Qin family in Qinrenfang!" Qin Lang also didn't expect this result at all.
Qin Qiong ignored him, but turned to Qin Yong and said, "Order the mansion, Qin Lang is not allowed to step into the mansion again."
Fuck, ruthless.
After working on it for a long time, Qin Qiong not only didn't appreciate it, but also kicked him out of the house?
"Ah Lang, Saburo is still young and ignorant, you just have to teach him a lesson or two." Qin Yong persuaded him, but Qin Qiong was already determined, "Didn't he already become the county captain of Chang'an? Sixteen years old At his age, he has already speculatively obtained the rank of the eighth-rank minister, which is very remarkable. At his age, I am just a white man in Licheng, Qizhou."
"Aye, I was wrong, I shouldn't have acted behind your back." Qin Lang quickly admitted his mistake.
As a result, Qin Qiong was not moved at all, "Qin Lang, you are very smart, but I also advise you, don't be too clever, be careful that you will be misled by your cleverness, go out to support the family, and you can only rely on yourself in the future."
After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong flung his sleeves and left.
Qin Lang was stunned for a long time, and finally the housekeeper came to persuade him to leave, and Ah Huang had already packed a few bags and led two horses out.
"Ah Huang, what are you doing?"
"The steward said that Saburo, you are going to go out and set up a new family. I will go with Saburo."
"Fu Bo, I, Alang, just got angry for a while, there's no need to do this, right?"
"Sanlang, Ah Lang is really angry this time, you should go out and find a place to stay for a while, and come back after the gust of wind." The housekeeper Fu Bo said.
Although he was reluctant, he was eventually kicked out.
Qin Qiong was not polite to Qin Lang, he was almost sent out of the house, so he asked to pack a few pieces of clothing, and then asked to take away two horses, and gave nothing to the rest.
He didn't even give him a small house in Chang'an or a farm in the suburbs. In Qin Qiong's words, anyway, Qin Lang is very capable, so he can rely on his own ability.
But Qin Qiong let A Huang bring out the three hundred taels of gold that Li Shimin gave.
Walking out of the Qin Mansion, the servants stood there watching and saying goodbye.
Qin Lang waved his hands at them, turned his head and smiled wryly at Ah Huang, "What the **** is this!"
Ah Huang really thought about it, "Anyway, Qin Wulang will inherit the Duke of Yiguo's mansion in the future, and it won't be your turn, Sanlang. There is no difference between leaving early and leaving later. It's just that Alang seems to be really happy this time." Angry, Alang used to love you very much."
"Hey, Aye is a bit too rigid, forget it, let's go."
Qin Mansion.
Qin Yong reported to Qin Qiong, "Sanlang has gone to Chang'an County Yamen in Changshoufang."
"Oh." Qin Qiong stood with his hands behind his back, and stood there sighing.
"Father, even though Sanlang made a mistake, he wouldn't be driven out?" Qin Yong asked doubtfully.
Qin Qiong sighed, "Since the child woke up from the injury, his temperament has changed drastically, and his behavior has become more and more unruly. I am afraid that if he continues like this, he will go further and further down the wrong road. Now I drive him out of the house. I also hope that he can Receive some warnings and be able to reflect on yourself."
Qin Qiong is more and more worried about the current situation. He has been completely involved now, and it is impossible to stay out of it. The Qin family is now a dangerous whirlpool. If something happens, he may be crushed to pieces. Today, Qin Lang was kicked out of the house because he was careful, hoping that in the future, if he, Qin Qiong, was swallowed up by this vortex, the **** who was kicked out of the house would be able to survive.
Poor parents all over the world!
"Father, actually think about it carefully, what San Lang said is not unreasonable."
Qin Qiong turned around, "Go and help me find out if there is a plan for Kunming Pool?"
"If it really exists?" Qin Yong asked.
Qin Qiong stood there with a sad face, "If there is, if there is... then it is the prince's fault! Brothers and flesh, whoever strikes first is wrong. If the prince really conspired to attack King Qin first, then King Qin Fighting back is also a well-known teacher, and the righteousness is not lost."
"But if there is no plan for Kunming Lake at all, then?" Qin Yong asked again.
Qin Qiong was silent.
"What about Sanlang's marriage to the Zheng family?"
"Forget it, it's just for Sanlang's good, but since Sanlang doesn't want this marriage at all, why should I, Qin Qiong, insist on clinging to him, the Xingyang Zheng family."
"But if you do this, you will completely offend the Zheng family, and may even offend the prince." Qin Yong reminded.
"I don't know, but San'er is unwilling, and I don't want to force him."
"Father, Sanlang has only one chance to marry a woman with five surnames. If you miss it, it will be gone. Even if the Zheng family lion speaks loudly, we can still make it together. Sanlang is still young, so don't miss it because of his impulsiveness." What's more, if you offend the Zheng family and anger the prince, it's really not worth it." Qin Yong couldn't help persuading him again.
Qin Qiong waved his hand and sighed, "I am Huailiang's father anyway, he is still young, and I want to protect him even more, let's just let this matter go, and don't mention it again. As for the East Palace, I, Qin Qiong, The ministers of the Tang Dynasty are the ministers of the state, not the retainers of the prince!"
"It's a pity that the foster father didn't understand Saburo's good intentions."
"One day, he will understand the hard work of parents for their children." Qin Qiong said.
