Return of the Swallow

In fact, as early as when Qin Yining followed Xie Yue to Dazhou and made up his mind to be with Pang Xiao, he had guessed many kinds of attitudes his father would have. He might persuade her to distance himself from Pang Xiao, or he might euphemistically remind her that the family was important, but I just never thought that Qin Huaiyuan would behave like this now.

As the patriarch of a big family, shouldn't he be devoted to the family, not to the wishes of his children, and only to maximize the benefits?

Just like the mercenary like the old lady, it is normal to base all choices on the basis of profiting for the family and oneself.

But the father is not like this, but try to put her happiness and wishes in the first place.

Qin Yining's heart was hot, her eyes were sore, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress the surging tears before she smiled and said to Qin Huaiyuan: "I know my father will support me, so when I face Pang Zhixi, I'm never afraid, because I know that even if I made the wrong choice and failed, and I also have a home to go back to."

"Yes. You just need to remember this." Qin Huaiyuan patted Qin Yining's shoulder with a big hand.

"You have been implicated by your father since you were a child, and you have not enjoyed the life that everyone should have for a day. You have suffered hardships outside and managed to survive, and when you return home, you will be burdened by things at home.

"Everything you have experienced is not what an ordinary lady should experience. Since you haven't enjoyed the happiness of a lady, how can a father be so embarrassed to use the norms of a lady to bind you? It's too unfair for you. already."

Qin Huaiyuan said, and slowly paced forward, Qin Yining also slowly followed, the snow creaked, leaving two trails, one large and one small.

Qin Huaiyuan continued: "Fortunately, being a father still has some skills. I guess that Emperor Zhou will use me to build up airs for the stability of the court. I also have the capital to protect you. I know that you are a smart child. What should I do? You know what you shouldn’t do and what you shouldn’t do. Your father doesn’t bother you anymore. Just one point, you have to learn to protect yourself. Physically, emotionally, and in life, you must protect yourself, do you understand? "

Qin Yining nodded his head with a moving expression: "Father, I understand that I will grasp the scale and will not hurt myself. And I also know that there are many important things in a person's life, and feelings are not the whole of life."

Qin Huaiyuan stopped and looked at Qin Yining with a smile: "If you can think like this, you are already different from many women of the same age."

"Perhaps I have seen a lot in the market since I was a child." Qin Yining smiled, "People are most likely to reveal their inferiority in the face of hunger and poverty. If they encounter life-threatening matters, they are more likely to reveal their true nature. The borders are often harassed by wars, and those scenes are often seen.

Not surprising. "

Qin Huaiyuan sighed and exhaled a white mist in front of him.

"By the way, father." Qin Yining said with a smile, "When the old lady came on the way, we lost all our belongings. The family has been really poor these days. I privately asked Pang Zhixi to help find one. Good house, after the shopkeeper Zhong Da came, I asked him to buy the house and renovate it in the name of someone else, and now it can live in people."

"Oh?" Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Thanks to your thoughtful thinking, I was still thinking about housing when I came back. I didn't think you had already done it."

"Thanks to the fact that I have some self-confidence in my hand, I will go back to my father and the titular owner of the house to go through the scene, and put the property in your name, and our family can move in. It's not good to always live here."

Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that Zhaoyun Division made a lot of money for you at the beginning, and I have to thank you for renting out."

Qin Yining should be respectful, after thinking about it, he decided to make a solid statement with his father, "Actually, Zhaoyun Division's profit is not much, but the capital city was besieged before, and the people rushed to escape, destroying many properties and shops. All sold out.

"I think I can't escape anyway, even if Zhao Yunsi's money stays --\u003e\u003e

Come, I am afraid that it will be embezzled by officials appointed by Da Zhou, so it is better to take the money to the common people and escape. Who knows that the massacre did not happen later, but I accidentally made a fortune in national disaster. "

Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yining, and said with a smile, "How could it be that a good intention is rewarded?"

Qin Yining smiled bitterly, and then said, "The harvest of the land I own now is about..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Qin Huaiyuan wave her hand, interrupting her next words.

"Sister Yi, you choose to be with Pang Zhixi, this road is not easy to take. You don't have to tell me how much money you have, how much business and contacts you have behind, you just treat these as your personal possessions. .The two of you can't tell how much trouble you will encounter in the future. You have money and connections, so you can rest assured as a father."

Qin Yining blinked, his eyes gradually became covered with a layer of water mist, and he nodded before sniffing, "Okay."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, then said, "I just saw a little girl with a raw face. I heard that she was your savior?"

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat, her father treated her so well, it seemed a little bad to keep the matter of Lian Xiaozhu from her father.

But Lian Xiaozhu is the princess of Beiji after all, her status is too special. The fewer people who know, the safer even the porridge will be. If my father doesn't know, it's a good thing.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining only told Qin Huaiyuan what he had said before.

Qin Huaiyuan did not suspect him, and sighed: "I didn't expect this child to be so similar to your experience, and it is your fate to meet her. Since she has no parents to rely on, you can take care of her, this is not just for the sake of Retribution for saving your life, understand?"

"Yes, father, I understand." Qin Yining smiled.

Qin Huaiyuan also smiled back.

The father and daughter just walked around in circles and chatted, stepping on the snow on the ground to make a circle of footprints.

After saying goodbye to each other, they discussed the move again before returning to the house.

The next day, a servant in the palace came to pass the imperial decree, calling Qin Huaiyuan to the palace to see him.

Qin Huaiyuan only returned to the capital, and the next day he received the attention of the sage, and the news quickly spread throughout the court and the public.

After the great court meeting, the Minister of Rites, Lian Shengjie, was reprimanded by the Holy Dangdang Temple for his personal conduct problems exposed in the Jingchao, and he was demoted to the third grade in a row, and the news spread that he was downgraded from a second-grade official to a fifth-grade member. Come on.

As for Qin Huaiyuan, he was proclaimed the new Minister of Rites by the sage, and the official residence is the second grade.

As soon as this news came out, Dayan Jiangchen's heart was both happy and sour.

Because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for those like Pang Xiao who were personally promoted to the cabinet by the sage due to their outstanding achievements, the civil servants who wanted to enter the cabinet must first be elected as Shuji, and then boil oil in the court for more than a dozen times. In 20 years, when did you become the second grade of the six Shangshu, and when did you have the opportunity to enter the cabinet.

Qin Huaiyuan's appointment as Minister of Rites was equivalent to telling everyone that he would be the next person to enter the cabinet.

The old lady sat drinking tea in the flower hall of the main house at the back of her new home, and heard a message from the newly bought little girl. The smiling eyes narrowed into a slit: "It's my brother Meng." He said to the second master, "You also discuss with your brother to see what official to choose."

Qin Yining frowned as she listened, this was not something her father said could be counted.

At this moment, Ji Yun quietly went behind Qin Yining and said a few words in a low voice, Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and nodded, Ji Yun went to the old lady again and said: "Old lady, Mrs. Lu of Zhongyong Houfu. Next post, please go to the banquet, Miss Four." He handed a gilded post with both hands.
