Return of the Swallow

"Is it possible that you are still thinking about that girl from the Qin family?" Mr. Lu Ge put away his smile and looked at Lu Heng with a solemn expression.

Mr. Lu Ge still clearly remembers the day Lu Heng came back from the Queen Mother's Palace covered in oil and oil and locked himself in his room for a whole day. The elders looked anxious and asked him many times but he refused to tell the reason.

It was only the next day when his mood returned to normal that he told them the matter.

However, it was too late. The news that the Holy Emperor had granted marriage to Prince Zhongshun had spread. The Lu family had to go for a robbery to satisfy Lu Heng's wishes.

However, how could it be possible to confront the imperial power over a woman?

Lu Heng could only admit it with regret.

Lu Heng lowered his eyes and said calmly: "It's a pity that Luo Hua is ruthless. If she had a little more affection for me, I would try my best to fight for it. She is getting married now. Such a smart and beautiful woman has to marry To a reckless man! All this is caused by that person’s selfishness! In order to consolidate his own rights, he would not hesitate to tie a good girl to a beast!"

"Brother Heng!"

Lu Ge Lao saw that Lu Heng lost control of his emotions because of this woman again. Even though his deceased first wife was present, the young couple only treated each other with respect.

Unexpectedly, his grandson was not cold-hearted, but he had never met anyone who could really make him fall in love.

"Grandpa, don't worry." Lu Heng roared, then calmed down his emotions again, and he was already as steady and gentle as usual.

But the more he behaves like this, the more worried Mr. Lu Ge becomes.

"Brother Heng, what kind of woman is Miss Qin to be so attracted to you? Have you ever been in a relationship? How far has it gone?"

Lu Heng raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Lu Ge, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa, if she cares about me, or if we really get to this point, will you give her up as your grandson?"

"So you two have no intersection?"

"We have only met a few times. But every time, my grandson's heart beats. She is beautiful and talented. It is really a pleasure to compete with her. This is the first time for my grandson to fall in love with a woman. Find the joy of meeting your opponent in chess."

Lu Heng told Mr. Lu Ge the truth about Mrs. Lu being sent away.

Mr. Lu Ge couldn't help but be surprised by Qin Yining's intelligence.

However, he still breathed a sigh of relief quietly. If there was no intersection, Lu Heng would not be hurt too deeply.

But he immediately began to feel unworthy of his grandson. That blind woman, his grandson was so outstanding, but she was not moved!

"It's her loss that she didn't like you. Brother Heng, don't be too sad. There is no grass anywhere in the world. You are so good. There are girls from aristocratic families who like you everywhere. Sooner or later, you will meet a better person. That girl from the Qin family is even better."

Looking at Mr. Lu Ge's concerned eyes, Lu Heng really couldn't bear to let his elderly grandfather worry about him anymore, so he could only nod, "Don't worry, grandfather. While I'm going out to look for treasures this time, I can also relax. I'll wait until I get back." Regarding the matter in Beijing, I believe I have been able to adjust my mood."

"That's fine. The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, but the old country of Dayan is suffering from a drought. Although it is better than last year, you should pay more attention. After a long drought, there will be a flood. This is what the Holy lord is worried about recently. I'm afraid there will be severe flooding. You should be more careful when you go out."

"Yes, grandfather, don't worry, your grandson will definitely pay more attention."

Lu Heng smiled at Mr. Lu Ge.

That night he rested at Lu Ge's old place, and until the early morning of the next day, while it was still dark, Lu Heng took his people and left the Lu family. When the city gate was first opened, he dressed up as an ordinary farmer and pushed a wheelbarrow. Following a group of common people, he escaped from the capital.

Except for Mr. Lu Ge and Lu Heng's accompanying bodyguards, no one else knew about all this.

In the study in the outer courtyard of the Qin family, Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan had just had breakfast together.

Qin Huaiyuan and the spies returned from release last night. It was too late, so Qin Yining didn't ask anything. He only prepared hot water for them to wash up, and rested after eating.

So after saying goodbye, we left it to the quiet time of the morning.

"Father, how have you been these days?" Qin Yining asked easily, because Qin Huaiyuan looked good and did not look like he had been imprisoned.

Qin Huaiyuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's good to eat and live in the palace, but I'm just being detained. Ask me about the treasure. How do I know? It's probably because the saint sees that I really don't know." , and then I stopped asking.

"On the contrary, those spies have been questioned many times, but because of your plan, the Holy Spirit did not dare to take heavy action against them, for fear of shocking those outside.

"Later, I heard from the little chamberlain who was serving me that Mr. Gu and Mr. Lu Ge were summoned to the palace by the Holy Emperor one after another. I felt that something was a little strange."

Qin Huaiyuan put down the tea bowl, and the base of the tureen made a soft sound when it touched the coffee table.

Qin Huaiyuan pretended to be serious and said: "Sister Yi, tell me, what did you do this time?"

Qin Yining blinked innocently: "Why did the father think that his daughter had done something?"

"You girl can do whatever you want, and you can escape being a father--\u003e\u003e

Eye? Looking at you, you look like a little mouse that has stolen honey. "

After Qin Huaiyuan said this, he was also amused by his own adjective, and touched Qin Yining's head lovingly, "Why don't you recruit her from the real thing?"

Qin Yining said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that complicated. Thanks to Mr. Gu for giving me an opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find a way to rescue you."

Qin Yining told Qin Huai how Mr. Gu came to negotiate with her, how she rejected people, forged treasure maps, and then used Mr. Gu to attract Li Qitian's attention, thus diverting disaster to the east and encircling Wei to rescue Zhao. Far.

Qin Huaiyuan was silent for a while. He thought of Mr. Gu's decrepit appearance and his hair and beard were all white. He wondered if the old man who always claimed to be smart would be furious after he found out that he had fallen into the trap. He silently mourned for him in his heart.

"Father?" Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan remained silent, Qin Yining felt a little uneasy.

Qin Huaiyuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay. Now Lu Heng has taken him privately to find the treasure. We can relax here. It's time to prepare for your marriage."

Qin Yining touched his nose uncomfortably, lowered his head and said, "Is there anything to prepare for?"

"You don't need to take care of it. Just embroider your pillow. I heard your mother said that your pillow embroidery is progressing slowly?"

Qin Yining blushed when asked, "Father, please stop teasing your daughter and let me do the rough sewing. What I did is pretty strong. But when it comes to embroidery and red tracing, my mother has taught her several times, but I also understand the principle." , but I just don’t have the patience, I always feel like it’s a waste of time.”

"You kid. Haha!" Qin Huaiyuan laughed loudly at Qin Yining's amusement, patted Qin Yining on the shoulder and said, "You're right, embroidery and red painting are just wasting time. If you have some spare time, you might as well read more books. "Father, I have a new travel journal here. You can take it back and read it later. Just ask the maid to embroider it for you."

Qin Yining clasped her hands together as if she had been granted amnesty, "Thank you, father! You have saved me. If mother asks, I will tell you that you asked me to read."

"Haha, okay, if your mother asks, just tell me what I ordered." Qin Huaiyuan laughed again.

"Master, you're just doting on Sister Yi like this."

The father and daughter were "complicitly working together" to reach an agreement, when Sun's angry voice came from outside the door.

Qin Huaiyuan touched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and stopped smiling.

Qin Yining stood up to greet her: "Mother, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you two were discussing and slacking off behind my back." Mrs. Sun looked at Qin Huaiyuan with a smile on her face.

It's really because Qin Huaiyuan rarely laughs loudly like this, and can see that the father and daughter are so harmonious, and the daughter can be Qin Huaiyuan's pistachio, even if they are discussing how not to embroider pillows, Mrs. Sun couldn't get angry at all.

"Madam, come and sit." Qin Huaiyuan pointed to the seat opposite her.

Qin Yining helped Sun sit down.

Mrs. Sun nodded her forehead: "You, don't always listen to your father. Your father is a man, how can he know this? How can a daughter's family not embroider by themselves? Those noble ladies and those who embroider their own wedding dresses Well, you are also the daughter of a minister, so if you don’t do any needlework, wouldn’t you be looked down upon?”

"Mother, you are wrong. If people see my embroidery work, it will be easy for others to look down on me."

Sun was choked by what he said and couldn't help but acquiesced to this sentence.

Qin Yining's embroidery work is not particularly bad, but it can't be said to be good either.

Where is the palace? The embroidery decorations are all extremely exquisite. When the two sides are compared, the embroidery that is not satisfactory will be a bit rougher.

"Okay." Mrs. Sun sighed, "I'll help you find an embroiderer, and we'll make it the most exquisite."

Qin Yining hugged Sun happily: "Thank you, mother!"

Qin Huaiyuan promptly gave Qin Yining a few newly acquired books, which earned Sun a big look. But both father and daughter smiled like foxes who had succeeded in their scheme.

While the Qin family was enjoying themselves in harmony, in the study room in the outer courtyard of Prince Zhongshun's residence, Pang Xiao had a murderous look on his face.

The royal family's staff and advisers, represented by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, gathered together, all with serious faces. They were called by the prince early in the morning to discuss matters. It seemed that something major had happened that could not be solved.

Everyone felt as if there was a stone in their hearts, and they all looked at Pang Xiao on the main seat.

Pang Xiao said in a deep voice: "I have called you here today because we have important matters to discuss."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I want to discuss with you the wedding on November 1st next month. Something happened to the Qin family. There shouldn't be any more changes, right?"

Counselors: "..."

Your Majesty, you gathered all of us so urgently so early in the morning, and it’s not about national affairs or treasures, but about a marriage that has already been confirmed? !

Everyone was like a deflated rubber ball. Their tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and even though they felt funny for a while, they still had to hold back their laughter.

Because the prince, who had always been a majestic and majestic person, now looked too serious.
