Chastity Layman

Lao Cheng had mixed feelings when he left the North Gate.

Should he be angry at his indisputability or mourn his misfortune, or should he say that this child is very capable in his own way? Speaking of which, Qin Lang was only sixteen, but now he has been granted the title of Duke of Yi Kingdom and Zhu Kingdom, and has held several important positions. He is walking under the door, and his future is boundless. How many of them can be like Qin Lang?

But for some reason, Lao Cheng still felt that this child was a bit too inflated, what a chance Princess Shang had.

"No, I have to go to Shubao. I'm afraid he will make a big mistake if he doesn't care about him."

In the Taiji Palace, Lao Cheng found Qin Qiong who was patrolling with soldiers and guards by the sea pool.

Qin Qiong has now changed his title to the Duke of Qi, added General Zuowei, and led the Wannian Dao Canqi General. He can be said to be the number one general after the Xuanwu Gate.

He wears a helmet and wears armor, and he is very serious about leading soldiers to stay in the palace. .

Seeing Lao Cheng enter the palace, he was a little surprised, thinking that the prince had some order.

"Just now, His Highness was discussing matters in the East Palace and you were not there. Something happened."

"What is it?"

"It's Saburo."

Hearing the mention of his son, Qin Qiong asked worriedly, "What trouble did Sanlang get into again?"

"What do you say?"

Qin Qiong said helplessly, "I can't even see through this kid now, he's like a wild horse that's run wild."

Old Cheng smiled, "Sure enough, I know you better than father. You don't know that in the East Palace just now, His Highness asked Qin Lang what to do next. He made several suggestions. Although they were a little bold, they were indeed very insightful. Even His Royal Highness listened to Qin Lang. Afterwards, they were all moved and bowed down to thank them, and issued the Prince's Order on the spot, conferring on Qin Lang Duke of Yi and Shangzhu, and marrying Princess Danyang, but this kid actually refused the marriage again."

"Yes, I refused the marriage again. But last time I rejected Zheng's daughter, it was justifiable. After all, the Zheng family is an abolished princeling, but this time he refused again, and His Highness was so angry that he shook his sleeves." And let's go, don't you think this kid is too ignorant. Shubao, Sanlang is smart, and he is so much better than those boys in my family. I am very relieved, but now I am also very worried. I'm afraid that this kid's cleverness will be mistaken by his cleverness."

Qin Qiong's complexion became more and more ugly, and his golden face gradually darkened.

He and Cheng Yaojin are fellow villagers in Shandong. Since they met in Wagang, they have fought together for more than ten years, and they have long been life-changing brothers.

"See if I don't beat this bastard when I go back." Qin Qiong gritted his teeth.

When Qin Qiong was on duty to change clothes, someone from the East Palace said that the prince had summoned him.

When Li Shimin saw Qin Qiong, he began to criticize Qin Lang for his ignorance.

"I proposed this marriage on my own initiative because I saw that Sanlang was young and promising, so I didn't care whether he was a concubine or not, and I didn't even care that the Qin family was not a famous family. And you, Shubao, agreed with this matter, but now he actually Refusal, do you think it makes sense?"

Li Shimin felt aggrieved. Although there were also Longxi Li and Zhaojun Li in the five surnames and seven clans, the royal Li family was also the Longxi Li family. In fact, this Longxi Li clan is very big, different from the other six clans. The other six clans, such as Xingyang Zheng, Zhaojun Li, etc., are all prestige of the same county. Although they have branches, they are all of that family.

Longxi Li's Longxi refers to a large area, not just Longxi County in the Sui Dynasty, but a large area in Longyou Hexi, including multiple Li families. The Li family of Huang Tang said that they are also the Li family of Longxi, so it is naturally true. It's just that secretly, the other families have not admitted much.

Even because the Li family married Xianbei for several generations in the early years and had Hu blood, they were looked down upon by the Shandong gentry. Although Li Yuan's younger sister, Princess Anchang, also married the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the eldest son Jiancheng married a daughter of the Zheng family of Xingyang, but they wanted more marriages, but they were not accepted.

Li Shimin married the eldest grandson of the Xianbei tribe.

Five surnames and seven families are unwilling to marry the Li family of the royal family, and are despised. Now even Qin Lang, a maidservant of a military upstart family from a common family, actually looks down on the royal princess and refuses to marry. This is too much up.

Li Shimin even couldn't help thinking about it, and became more and more unhappy.

The Qin family can also be regarded as a local gentry, but it is only a small gentry. When it came to Qin Qiong, it could only be regarded as a local landlord and commoner. If there are no three generations of officials above the fifth rank, they will not be on the scoreboard.

"Shubao, is this just Qin Lang's idea, or do you also have this idea?"

"Your Highness, I just found out about this matter. I am very honored and grateful to Your Highness for giving you the marriage."

Li Shimin's face was ashen, "Qin Lang is a capable person, and Gu also appreciates him, so he was made the Duke of Yi at a young age, but if he is not sensible..."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take care of this bastard when I get back. Children's marriages have always been ordered by their parents, so there is no reason for them to make their own decisions."

"Okay, Gu will give him another chance, and hope that he will find his way back."

Qin Qiong dismissed her and hurried back to Qinrenfang.

As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see that Qin Lang had come back before him, and was talking happily with his wife Cui Shi.

In fact, it was also the first time for Qin Lang to see the wife of the head of Qinrenfang, Cui Shi. Although this Cui Shi married into the Qin family at the age of 30 and had a son and a daughter after a few years of marriage, but look It looks really well maintained and has a great temperament. When she spoke to Qin Lang, she kept a very good sense of proportion, which made people feel very comfortable.

Qin Lang is now the Duke of Yi, Shangzhu Kingdom, and holds several positions. He is very promising. Cui Shi also showed great courtesy and respect to this concubine son. Qin Lang, he is also a person who set up another family anyway. Come back Just treat him as a guest, so Cui Shi respected him three feet, and he gave him back one foot.

He was originally a salesman in later generations, and he was very good at talking in scenes, so the two had a good chat.

"Aye."

Qin Lang stepped forward to greet Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong just snorted coldly and ignored him, "I'm going to change clothes." He said to Cui Shi.

After taking a shower and changing into a light, breathable and cold silk shirt, Qin Qiong's complexion was still very ugly.

"Nizi, kneel down!"

Over there, Mrs. Cui didn't expect her husband to be so angry, so she immediately said, "Sanlang is now a dignified Duke, and he's not a child. If you have something to say, talk it out."

Qin Qiong sat on the couch, sighing again and again.

"It's my son as long as he is the Duke of the state. I can't take care of it anymore? It's the father's fault if he doesn't teach. Let's see what he looks like now? Let me ask you, why did you refuse the prince's marriage offer in the palace?"

"Aye, you are angry because of this matter, there is no need, in fact, it's nothing, even I don't have any big pursuits, and now I'm a duke of the country, so in the next life I can eat and wait to die, I I just want to live a more relaxed life in the future, and I don't want to find a wife who takes care of me."

"Is this a reason? What kind of reason is this?" Qin Qiong was angry.

"Why don't you count, Qi Dafei, Your Royal Highness is so high, I don't bother to wait carefully, and if the princess marries into the Qin family, you will have to greet him in the future, Aye. Isn't this inviting a Bodhisattva back? tired?"

Qin Qiong sighed, "Do you think that the matter of giving a marriage is so simple, that a marriage is given casually and can be refused casually? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"I don't want to marry if I don't want to marry. What's the matter? I rejected Zheng's daughter before, but now it's nothing to reject a princess. They are dignified and honorable royal families, so they can't be forced?"
