Chapter 611
At noon.
After Luo Qingzhou had lunch with Miss Qin, he went to the Immortal Residence.
He decided to spend half an hour reading.
The remaining time is used to practice inner strength and mental skills.
Because his home was not soundproofed and he was afraid of damaging the house, he did not practice the "Diamond Explosive Fist" he just got from the sect.
As for the Bull Demon Nine Sticks, he decided to wait until Sister Yue came in the evening before practicing to avoid making mistakes.
After all, it is a demon clan technique, and it is his first time to practice stick technique.
If someone guides you, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Judging from Sister Yue's proficient understanding of this set of stick techniques last night, the opponent should not only have cultivated the soul, but also what state the physical body has reached.
"Sincerity and sincerity are called nature. Self-clarity and sincerity are called teaching. Sincerity means understanding, and understanding means sincerity..."
In the study room, the sound of reading could be heard loudly.
Xiaodie sat on the corridor, quietly embroidering flowers, and always paying attention to whether any annoying sparrows came down to make noise.
The snow finally stopped, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere.
There was still thick snow piled on the trees in the courtyard, and crystal clear icicles hung from the eaves.
The sun is still hiding behind the clouds.
It was freezing cold and the whole house was completely silent.
On the streets of Kyoto, whether in the outer city or the inner city, there are more and more pedestrians.
In addition to the people of Dayan, there are also many tourists from neighboring countries.
Various merchants have also prepared New Year's goods in advance, and festive lanterns have been hung in front of some shops in advance.
In the palace, preparations are also being made for the Taikang Grand Meeting held every three years in Dayan.
The prosperity and liveliness on the surface are concealing the turbulent undercurrents of the Great Yan Empire.
The princes and kings from all over the country returned to Beijing one after another after watching for a while.
To the relief of all the people, the eldest princess, who was leading troops at the border, was also on her way back to Kyoto.
So the original rumors were self-defeating.
But for some, they were disappointed.
In the palace, people died for two consecutive days.
A young eunuch and a palace maid were beaten to death by Nangong Yang because of unknown reasons.
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this and went to her palace to reprimand him personally.
Nangong Yang apologized sincerely.
The matter was dropped and was not reported to the outside world.
Of course, except for the two dead servants, this was a trivial matter to anyone.
Late afternoon.
The sun parted the clouds, revealing a red face.
Golden light fell into the small courtyard, dispelling some of the haze and cold.
Xiaodie got up from the corridor, stretched, and walked into the small courtyard. Bathed in the sunshine, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"It's finally going to clear up."
she murmured.
But she also knew that in this season, the sunny weather could not last long.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
In the back garden.
Luo Qingzhou was holding the dark wooden stick and practicing the stick technique.
Because he was afraid of too much movement, he did not use his internal power, but was slowly mastering the moves, lest Sister Yue came tonight and he still didn't know anything, wasting time.
When the sun was about to set, he put away his stick and went to the front yard.
In the front yard, Xiaodie was holding a broom and sweeping the snow on the bluestone floor. Her tired face was pink and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Luo Qingzhou hugged her and kissed her, and said: "Why are you sweeping the snow? If you have nothing to do, go and play with Xiao Tao. Young Master doesn't need you to guard here."
Xiaodie wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "That's not possible. What if the young master is thirsty? No one pours tea or water. What if the young master is hungry? No one brings snacks or fruits. What if someone breaks in suddenly? What to do? No one is stopping me. The role of slaves is huge."
Luo Qingzhou nodded in agreement: "That's right. What if I suddenly think about it? Xiaodie is proficient in various martial arts."
The little girl immediately blushed and said, "Sir..."
When the two returned to Meixiang Garden, it was already dark.
When Luo Qingzhou was about to have dinner with Second Miss Qin in the study, Meier suddenly rushed over and said, "Uncle, Second Miss, the eldest son is back. The master and his wife are calling you over."
Miss Qin suddenly said with joy on her face: "Is the eldest brother back? Where is the second brother?"
Mei'er said: "Only the eldest son is back."
Second Miss Qin, being served by Qiu'er, was wearing a thick fox fur coat and frowning slightly: "Why is the eldest brother back at this time...Did something happen in the college?"
The two quickly went out and came to the front hall.
In the hall, Qin Lang, dressed in blue, was asking about the recent situation at home.
Qin Wenzheng sat on a chair, holding a tea cup and did not speak.
Song Ruyue was beside her, talking proudly about the recent store business.
After hearing this, Qin Lang said seriously: "Mom, you can make money by doing business, but you must not be opportunistic and do things that benefit yourself at the expense of others, let alone violate the rules and disregard the law."
Qin Wenzheng suddenly frowned and said, "Lang'er, do you think we are that kind of people? Don't you understand your mother? Can she do such a thing?"
At this point, for some reason, he suddenly became angry again and said with a stern face, "Even if we did that, it wouldn't be your turn to teach us a lesson."

Seeing that he was angry, Qin Lang apologized quickly and said, "Dad, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you. When I come back tonight, I have something happy to tell you."
At this time, Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin come in from the outside.
Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "Brother, what kind of happy event are you coming back in such a hurry?"
Qin Lang turned his head and looked at them.
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and saluted, "Brother."
Qin Lang nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Eat first, let's chat while eating."
In the dining room next to it, the maids have already served a table full of exquisite dishes.
The heat is thick and the fragrance is wafting.
The family came to the table and sat down one by one.
Song Ruyue couldn't wait to ask: "Lang'er, what's the good news? Did you win an award in the academy? Or has there been another breakthrough in your practice?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at the eldest son in front of him equally seriously.
With a smile on his face, Qin Lang picked up the flask, poured a glass of wine for everyone, and said, "By the way, why didn't Jian Jia come?"
Song Ruyue sighed: "I just asked Mei'er to call, and Mei'er said she was feeling unwell and was resting."
Qin Lang frowned slightly and said: "Jianjia stays at home all day without going out or talking to anyone, and her body will only get weaker and weaker. Dad and mother, we still have to find a way to let her go out more. If you can make a few Friends are even better.”
Song Ruyue said helplessly: "My mother thinks so too. Every day my mother goes to the store, and I wanted to take her to the inner city to play with her, but that girl is very stubborn and won't go out at all. There is nothing I can do about it." ah."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Brother, sister is fine now, don't worry. Tell us the good news you just said, Weimo can't wait."
Only then did Qin Lang remember the business. He glanced at a few people with a smile, sat down and said, "Yesterday I entered the palace. The Holy One personally sent someone to the academy to announce my entry into the palace. After talking with me for a long time, he immediately named me the Imperial Guard. The commander said. , as long as I perform well, once I graduate from the academy next year, I can officially become the commander of the Jinyiwei. At that time, if I perform more meritorious service for the Holy Lord, I may have the opportunity to lead troops on expeditions and restore the glory of my Qin family. !”
After he finished speaking, I thought everyone would be very excited and happy to congratulate him, but suddenly I found that the table suddenly became silent.
Qin Lang felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere and everyone's expressions were wrong. He was startled and asked in confusion: "Dad, mother, Wei Mo, what's wrong?"
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him again, said nothing, lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Song Ruyue looked ugly and hesitated, but finally couldn't help but said: "Lang'er, can you not be the commander of the Jin Yiwei?"
Qin Lang frowned and asked, "Mother, why?"
He looked at his father again and said, "Dad, you have taught your children since they were young that when they grow up, they must be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and restore the prestige of our Qin family. The children have always kept it in mind. Now this opportunity is rare, and the Holy Lord has personally appointed Because of heavy responsibility, As long as the child behaves well, the emperor will definitely use him in the future. Then the child will be able to work hard to earn another title for my Qin family. After a hundred years, the child will have the honor to meet the ancestors of my Qin family, right? ?”
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a while, looked at him and said: "Lang'er, you have been studying in the college in the past few years, and a lot of things have happened at home, but we have not told you. The reason why we left Mocheng was not because of the demon clan there. , but had to go."
After a pause, he continued: "Our Qin family already has the captain princess, and the Jin Yiwei has come to the house to embarrass us again and again. If the eldest princess hadn't saved us last time, our family would have been put into a cell and tortured by the Jin Yiwei. In Mo The eldest princess also saved us several times when we were in the city. The eldest princess was kind to us, so we want to repay the eldest princess."
After listening to this, Qin Lang was stunned for a long time, and said with doubts on his face: "Dad, my child still doesn't understand. Is there any difference between being loyal to the eldest princess and being loyal to the saint? Why should we take sides? Did dad believe those rumors and think that the eldest princess will betray him?" Your Majesty? The eldest princess is your elder sister, and she is a woman. Do you think she would do that?"
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment and said: "The eldest princess may not do that, but our Qin family has indeed offended the Holy Sage. The Holy Sage has also sent Jin Yiwei here several times, trying to cause trouble for us. Your mother almost did it back then. She was framed by Jin Yiwei, but fortunately she was rescued. So, Lang'er, dad doesn't want you to..."
Qin Lang shook his head, interrupted him and said: "Dad, you are thinking too much. The Holy One is a wise man and cherishes talents. How could the Holy One hate us for a trivial matter? If the Holy One really wants to deal with our Qin family, how can he declare me Enter the palace and ask me to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards? Maybe our Qin family and the Holy One really have conflicts, but those are just minor misunderstandings, and the Holy One will not take them to heart at all."
Immediately, he looked next to Miss Qin Er and said: "By the way, the Holy One also told me that last time he invited Qingzhou to the palace to talk. The Holy One said that he had a great time chatting with Qingzhou. And the Holy One also said He said that he was very optimistic about Qingzhou in the palace examination next year, and said that with Qingzhou's talent, he might be able to get the top prize. The fact that the Holy One values my Qin family so much shows that he has not taken those little misunderstandings to heart. Qingzhou, when the time comes, we will serve the country together, share the worries of the Holy One, and then earn a title for the Qin family. It’s worthy of our status as the son of the Qin family, what do you think?”
Luo Qingzhou broke the oppressive atmosphere, showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Brother is right."
Then he added: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't think too much about it. Leave the outside matters to me and my eldest and second brothers. We are the sons of the Qin family, so naturally we should share the worries of the Qin family. You don't need to worry about it."
Song Ruyue looked at him doubtfully, opened her mouth, and was about to speak. Qin Wenzheng suddenly made a cough and said, "Okay, since both Lang'er and Qingzhou said so, it may be that we are overthinking it. Let's eat, the food is getting cold."
Second Miss Qin also smiled and said, "Brother, eat some vegetables."
Qin Lang picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Qingzhou, I'd like to give you a drink."
Luo Qingzhou quickly picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "It's Qingzhou's turn to respect big brother."
The two drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Lang ate for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "Father, mother, Wei Mo, Qingzhou, I have to go back to the academy, so I will leave first. You continue to eat, and my second brother and I will come in a few days." I’m on vacation and will come back to reunite with you.”
Several people stood up and sent him outside the gate.
Qin Lang mounted his horse, waved his hand, and quickly left the alley, disappearing into the night in the distance.
Several people stood at the door with different expressions.
Song Ruyue frowned and said, "Master, Lang'er..."
Qin Wenzheng sighed and said, "You know Lang'er's temper, and you can't persuade him to come back. Besides, there are some things that are no longer suitable to be told to him."
Song Ruyue said with an ugly face: "Master, if Lang'er really wants to become the commander of the Jinyi Guards, do we have to... have to guard against him?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at her and said seriously: "We must guard against him now. We can no longer tell him about family matters."
Song Ruyue trembled: "But, but Lang'er is our son... your eldest son, how can we..."
Qin Wenzheng looked at the alley in the distance, with a look of pain in his eyes, and said no more.
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Mom, wait until the eldest brother and the second brother come back from vacation, Weimo will have a good chat with him. The eldest brother has been practicing hard in the academy, and tonight is the first time he knows these things. Suddenly, naturally, He can't turn around, and when Wei Mo explains it clearly to him, he will slowly understand."
Song Ruyue sighed and said, "I hope Lang'er is right. It would be best if the Holy One really lets our Qin family go and will never embarrass our Qin family again in the future."
Miss Qin Er didn't speak anymore and looked at the people beside her.
Luo Qingzhou held her hand and remained silent, not speaking again.
In fact, the thing is very simple. As long as that person dies, all problems will be solved.
Heaven is still heaven, and earth is still earth.
The eldest brother wants to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, so naturally there is a new monarch and a new country for him to display his ambitions.
Regardless of whether that person would let them go, he would never let him go anyway!
Looking up, the night sky is deep and the bright moon hangs high.
Thinking that Sister Yue was coming to the house tonight, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and a little uneasy. He always felt like he was having an affair.
But he knew in his heart that Sister Yue was not that kind of person, and he only wanted to practice.
"Brother Qingzhou, my sister is not feeling well. Go and see her."
At this time, Miss Qin suddenly said softly.
