The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Qin Zhun clenched his fists and said with a straight face, "Brother Ning, how can you let your sister be in charge!"

"Your sister just got married and has never been in charge of the house before, what do you know?

! "

"You, your heart is too big, you actually handed so much money and so much property into the hands of a little girl like her..."

As soon as Qin Di was mentioned, Qin Zhun's mouth was like a dam that had leaked, and his anger burst out.

Qin Zening raised his eyebrows, and a mocking light flashed across his eyes.

During the palace banquet just now, Qin Zeyu was not idle, and told Qin Zening that Qin Di had slaughtered Qin Zhun several times in the past few months. Qin Zening knew this was what Qin Zhun was talking about.

For Qin Zening, he could endure everything, but he couldn't bear others saying that his sister was not good.

"Hey," he sighed deliberately, "Xiao Ji is really kind, for fear that the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion will be destroyed, he took out all the cash at home to give emergency care to the second uncle.

In order to keep the family business, Xiaoji really worked hard. "

After Qin Zening finished speaking, regardless of what Qin Zhun thought, he threw his hands away coldly.

Hmph, the two rooms are separated, and the hands are still so long, so care about other people's sisters!

"You..." Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening's back, his mouth was trembling with anger, the blue veins on his forehead jumped, and he said angrily, "Stop!"

However, Qin Zening's pace didn't stop at all, and he left in big strides.

Qin Zhun's face was even more ugly, and he said bitterly: The three brothers and sisters in the long house are really getting more and more unruly. They don't have his uncle in their eyes at all. They are really disrespectful and disrespectful!

In fact, he just wanted to suppress Qin Zening as an elder first, and then talk about that troublesome matter, but he didn't expect that Qin Zening, the monkey-puncher, would not give him a chance at all.

Qin Zhun gritted his teeth, but still chased Qin Zening towards the palace gate.

Qin Zhun quickened his pace, panting all the way to the palace gate, and saw Qin Zening outside the palace gate at a glance.

Qin Zening was riding on a tall and sturdy black horse, and he was bowing his head to talk to Qin Di in the carriage next to him. Qin Zeyu was also there, riding on a white horse, interjecting from time to time. The three brothers and sisters didn't know what they were talking about. With a happy look, their chatter and laughter spread with the wind.

Qin Zhun stopped involuntarily, couldn't help but think of his own house, his expression sank a little, his face seemed to be covered with layers of dark clouds.

Su Shi has a sullen face all day long, and she doesn't care about everything. As soon as she talks to her, she gets angry and doesn't say a good word; her daughter Qin Sheng also blames him, and every time Qin Xin comes back to the house, it is to ask for money; and, A few days ago, he asked for the establishment of the prince, but he was refuted by the emperor again.

It is clear that their Houfu family has been separated, and the emperor still does not allow him to establish a heir, why?

!

Qin Zhun's eyes gradually became deeper and deeper.

Thinking of the "trouble" now, Qin Zhun felt like a moth was flying around in his heart, and he was even more restless and irritable.

Qin Zhun took another half step towards Qin Zening and the three brothers and sisters, thinking about the past, but after thinking about it, he still took his steps back, his eyes stopped on Qin Di in the carriage.

When he sees Qin Di now, he is mortified.

Qin Zhun's expression was complicated, but he still didn't get there after all. He just watched the Qin family's carriage and the brothers Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu drive away, drifting further away.

Qin Zhun stood on the spot in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took. It wasn't until the Chang Sui called "Master Hou" that Qin Zhun came back to his senses and got into his carriage.

After returning this day, Qin Zhun tossed and turned all night, and went to Mrs. Qin Tai's place early the next morning to signal Mrs. Qin to send the servants back from the room.

"Mother, I have something to discuss with you."

Qin Zhun said straight to the point, frowning into the word "Chuan".

Mrs. Qin Tai frowned slightly, and her heart sank.

She knew this second son very well. Whenever he encountered something difficult, he was like this.

Qin Zhun hesitated, and said in a difficult manner: "Mother, we are in trouble in the Marquis of Zhongyi, if we don't get it right, the title passed down by our ancestors will be gone... I'm really sorry for the ancestors! "

Qin Zhun sighed worriedly, his brows furrowed, and his expression seemed to say that he was really forced to come to Mrs. Qin Tai.

When she heard that this matter actually involved the title of the Qin family, Mrs. Qin was so frightened that her face paled, she clenched the red sandalwood Buddha bead bracelet in her hand, and asked in a panic, "What's wrong?"

"Mother...I...hey!"

Qin Zhun looked hesitant, unable to speak, and sighed.

Mrs. Qin Tai was in a hurry, her brows furrowed even more, and she asked, "A Zhun, tell me quickly, what happened?"

Mrs. Qin Tai repeatedly asked several times, and Qin Zhun finally said reluctantly: "Mother, you also know that I just got an errand for the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple not long ago..."

Of course, Mrs. Qin Tai also knew about this matter. Taipu Si Shaoqing's errand was a fat mess that many officials in the court looked at.

Taipu Temple is the official office in the imperial court in charge of horse administration and animal husbandry. There is an old saying: "The horse is the most important thing in the country". Since ancient times, horses have been the most important weapons in the military.

Since Emperor Taizong, Taipu Temple has set up a Chang Ying Treasury dedicated to reserve "horse price silver", and there are often jokes about the wealth transfer department of Taipu Temple.

"Is there something wrong with this errand?"

Mrs. Qin Tai frowned and asked.

"Hey!"

Qin Zhun let out a long sigh, and said with a sullen face, "Former Taipu Si Shaoqing Li Yuanchun was in a hurry when he was handing over errands.

In the past two days, I just discovered... Chang Yingku has a large cave. "

As he spoke, Qin Zhun's face became more and more ugly.

Mrs. Qin Tai panicked, grabbed Qin Zhun's hand and asked, "A Zhun, what should I do?"

Qin Zhun rubbed the folds between his brows and said solemnly, "Mother, if this matter is not settled properly, you will lose your position at light level, and at worst... I'm afraid your title will not be guaranteed."

Qin Zhun's eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately emphasized the consequences by three points.

In his view, this trouble is very troublesome, but it is not enough to lose the title.

However, he was afraid that if he didn't take the consequences seriously, Mrs. Qin Tai might not be willing to help him.

Whether it's demoting or losing his post, his career is completely over!

"A Zhun, this title must not be lost! Otherwise, how can I face your father when I go to Jiuquan in the future!"

Mrs. Qin Tai was at a loss, her eyes were red, "A Zhun, this is all Li Yuanchun's fault.

The errand you just took over, even if the emperor finds out, we can still make it clear. "

"It's not clear."

Qin Zhun said embarrassedly, "Li Yuanchun has already started his official career and returned to his hometown, and this errand has been in my hands for more than 20 days. Even if I say it's not my problem now, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly!"

Qin Zhun said half of what he said, and half of it was hidden; half of it was true, and half of it was false.

He did not notice this "big hole" in Chang Yingku when the two of them handed over errands. When he found out, his first reaction was to report it, but it happened that Qin Xin came to him again to ask for money. He looked at Chang Yingku The silver on Yingku's account was moved.

Chang Yingku's silver, also known as "horse price silver", is usually only allowed to buy horses.

He thought that Beiyan had already made peace with Daqi, and the pirates in Minzhou were at peace. The court should not move the money for the time being. He planned to move it first, and then try to return it later, or slowly try to pay the bill to make flat...

However, the change came too quickly.

Seeing her son's frowning face, Mrs. Qin became even more worried, "A Zhun, why don't you hurry up and confess to the emperor, the emperor has always been kind and caring for your father, so maybe he can treat you lightly. …”

Qin Zhun seemed to be moved, "You're right, but..." He was about to get up, but then sat back again, "But, the emperor may kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

Of course Qin Zhun wanted to hide it if he could hide it. The problem was that there had been a sudden change in the court recently.

The Ministry of War proposed that the horses in the south of the Yangtze River were too small and unbearable for expedition, so it would be better to exchange money, so as to avoid the horses in the south of the Yangtze River traveling thousands of miles to send the horses to the capital, which would be time-consuming and expensive.

Now that the treasury is empty, this move can reduce the financial burden of the imperial court, and can also fill the ever-increasing treasury. The emperor and several elders in the cabinet agree very much.

Once the imperial court began to implement "horses for silver", Chang Yingku's accounts were bound to be checked, and the holes in the accounts could not be concealed.

Qin Zhun was so remorseful in his heart that if he had known this would happen, he would have taken the initiative to expose Li Yuanchun when he found out that there was a problem with the accounts.

But now, it's too late to regret.

Mrs. Qin Tai became more and more at a loss, holding Qin Zhun's hand and sweating profusely, "A Zhun, what should I do then?"

Mrs. Qin was so panicked that her mind went blank. She could not say that everything was smooth sailing in her life. Back then, the old marquis and the eldest son were there when the house was raided and exiled. Although the life was a bit hard, she still had the backbone. Anyway, everything should follow the old marquis. .

Later, the old man was gone, and she followed her second son wholeheartedly.

Qin Zhun's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly, "Mother, I want Brother Ning to intercede."

Mrs. Qin Tai: "?"

She looked at her second son in confusion, what does this have to do with Ning Ge'er?

Qin Zhun held Mrs. Qin Tai's hand and reminded: "Mother, Ning Ge'er has just made a great contribution."

"..." Mrs. Qin Tai hasn't reacted yet.

Qin Zhun could only bite the bullet and continued: "I have a precedent for 'defending one's merits' in the past."

Qin Zhun spoke in a subtle and euphemistic manner, and Mrs. Qin Tai finally understood what he meant and remembered a familiar thing:

During the period of Emperor Taizu, Marquis Changding was Emperor Taizu's capable general, helping Emperor Taizu build the Daqi Dynasty, and Marquis Changding's uncle was Wang He, the general of the previous dynasty. Because the previous dynasty was defeated, Wang He He also became a prisoner under the order, and the Marquis of Changding pleaded for his uncle, saying that he had no father or mother since he was a child, and his uncle raised him like a father.

Emperor Taizu, as the Marquis of Changding intended, took back his title and pardoned Wang He.

This incident was passed down as a good story in the Daqi Dynasty, and was often used by storytellers to joke about it in the teahouse.

In other words, what Qin Zhun meant was that Qin Zening made a great contribution in Fujian this time, and asked him to go to the emperor to intercede and use his credit to offset what Qin Zhun had committed this time, and to keep the title of the Qin family.

"..." Mrs. Qin Tai was silent.

If Qin Zening is Qin Zhun's biological son today, Qin Zhun doesn't need to come and tell her that the son has passed the father, it is a matter of course, but Qin Zening is just the nephew in the next room.

Qin Zhun could naturally see Mrs. Qin Tai's thoughts, and sighed in embarrassment: "Mother, I also know that this has wronged Ning Ge'er, but I have no choice but to think of all the ways I can think of."

"I also thought about using my own money to fill the hole, but you also know that Ning Ge'er and the others have just been distributed, and most of the cash in the family has been distributed to them. The profit of the shop is collected."

"Mother, I really can't bear to lose the title of my ancestors in my hands!"

While speaking, Qin Zhun wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuff, and his voice became slightly more sobbing.

Mrs. Qin Tai was flustered and hesitantly muttered: "A Zhun, is this bad?

Ning Ge'er and the Hou Mansion have already separated... Moreover, Ning Ge'er finally made a great contribution. "

Yesterday, Qin Zening returned to Beijing triumphantly. After the palace banquet, he came to the Hou residence to greet Mrs. Qin Tai. Mrs. Qin saw at a glance that the eldest grandson was dark and thin...

Mrs. Qin Tai also stayed in Minzhou for a few years. She knew how cruel the pirates in Minzhou were. Others just watched Qin Zening make great achievements easily, but she knew that the military achievements were In exchange for his life, only he knew the hardships.

Qin Zhun was still talking without giving up, moving with emotion, while talking about the deceased old marquis, while saying that it was not easy for him to support the family business these years, and then saying that Qin Zening was still young...

In the eyes of Qin Zhun's expectation, Mrs. Qin Tai said wearily: "A Zhun, this matter... I want to think about it, you go back first."

Qin Zhun is not discouraged. His mother, Mo Ruozi, he knows that his mother is the most soft-hearted and soft-hearted. She always sympathizes with the weak.

"Mother, then you have a good rest."

Qin Zhun stood up and bowed graciously.

When he came to the door curtain, he stopped again and said in a low voice: "I am really ashamed of my father... I still remember when I was in Fujian, my father often said that he was worthy of his conscience, but he was ashamed of his ancestors... …”

After saying that, Qin Zhun went out, and the Xiangfei curtain rose and fell, swaying slightly in the air.

Mrs. Qin Tai stared blankly at the Concubine Xiang curtain, her eyes dazed.

As a bedside person, Mrs. Qin Tai certainly knew what the old marquis thought. Back then, the old marquis was deprived of the title by the late emperor because of protecting the present, and the Qin family was exiled. There is.

Later, Jinshang rehabilitated the Qin family and gave him the title back. The old marquis personally enshrined the imperial decree in the ancestral hall and knelt down for a day and a night...

All kinds of things from the past flashed quickly in Mrs. Qin's mind, and her heart was heavy.

Today's weather is a little gloomy, and even the autumn wind blowing in from the window is a little chilly, and the mottled tree shadows cast on the house and sway with the wind...

"Swish, swish..."

Mrs. Qin Tai was locked in the Dongci Room by herself for nearly a morning. In the afternoon, she personally went to the Qin Mansion in Hulu Lane.

On weekdays, Qin Zening was on duty at this time. Today is an exception. He just returned to Beijing yesterday. The emperor specially gave him a three-day leave and asked him to rest for three days before reporting to Shenshu Camp.

As soon as Mrs. Qin Tai arrived, Qin Zening and Qin Di immediately came to the main hall to greet her.

"Grandmother, A Yu is still taking classes at her husband's place. I'll call him over when he finishes class..."

Mrs. Qin Tai interrupted Qin Zening: "You don't need to call A Yu."

Qin Zening and Qin Di exchanged a tacit glance. The three brothers and sisters just greeted Mrs. Qin Tai yesterday. At that time, Mrs. Qin looked as usual. She suddenly passed the house today because of a temporary emergency.

Otherwise, they would go to the Hou Mansion every few days to ask for peace, and they would not be in a hurry to say it today.

What the hell is going on?

!

Qin Di and Qin Zening had the same question in their hearts, but neither brother and sister asked directly.

Mrs. Qin Tai's wife sat on the upper teacher's chair with a lot of thought, drinking tea absentmindedly, and the hall was quiet.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Qin Tai put down the tea cup, looked at Qin Zening, and asked, "Brother Ning, has your second uncle been here?"

Qin Zening moved his brows, remembering that yesterday Qin Zhun stopped himself outside the Huagai Palace and said some nonsense.

Without waiting for Qin Zening to agree, Mrs. Qin continued: "Your second uncle has encountered a little trouble recently..."

Mrs. Qin Tai paused for a while, and told Qin Zening with a complicated expression, "If he comes to ask you for help, you must not agree."

Qin Ji: "?"

Qin Di looked at Qin Zening again, and when he saw that he seemed to be thoughtful, he blinked curiously, thinking: Did something happen that she didn't know?

Mrs. Qin Tai sighed wearily, and said ramble: "Ning Ge'er, you got the credit for your life. If something happens to your parents and brothers, it's understandable to justify the credit, but your second uncle, after all It is separated from the three of your brothers and sisters in a room, and the family is also separated, so it is two families."

"Hey, since your second uncle has inherited the title and family business, he should have been able to be a family. How can he wait until he commits a crime and think about the nephew who wants to split up the family to come forward.

This person, there is no reason to take advantage of it! "

Mrs. Qin Tai knew about the second son and was disappointed.

At that time, the old marquis was once deprived of the title, but he earned it back on his own, but the second son did not learn from his father's good things, and only wanted others to help him solve his troubles.

During the conversation, Mrs. Qin Tai seemed to be a lot older, and said: "I understand your second uncle. He said that everything was someone else's fault, but he must be at least half of the fault himself."

Otherwise, why would he be so guilty and anxious!

Qin Di and Qin Zening actually still don't know what happened. Apart from listening to Mrs. Qin Tai obediently, they don't know what to say. The brothers and sisters occasionally look at each other.

In the eyes of Mrs. Qin Tai, the two brothers and sisters looked a little confused, and they became at a loss.

Mrs. Qin Tai only felt a softness in her heart and a bit of sadness. She couldn't help thinking that when her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law passed away, Ning Geer was such a young child, and was forced to grow up and shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.

Since ancient times, this child with no father or mother has been in charge of the family long ago. The three brothers and sisters in the eldest house are pitiful enough, but they are still soft-hearted. Ning Ge'er is neither a crown nor a family, so he was kicked out of the house by his uncle. Independent portal.

Not to mention, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu who have left the Hou residence will definitely suffer some losses when talking about marriage in the future.

The more Mrs. Qin thought about it, the more she felt that it was not easy to be a eldest grandson, "Brother Ning, you earned your credit for your life, you no longer have a title, and you have to earn your own future.

Also, your sister and your brother also want your eldest brother to support you. "

"You don't think about yourself, but also for your younger siblings."

Mrs. Qin Tai was immersed in her own thoughts and kept talking to herself.

Qin Di looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, pursed his lips and smiled, his pupils were bright and clear.

Although Mrs. Qin Tai is a little biased towards Qin Xin, her heart is biased. What's more, as far as Mrs. Qin is concerned, Qin Xin is a child raised by her, and she has feelings for raising a kitten and a dog. , let alone a person, Qin Xin has been under her knees for more than ten years, and Mrs. Qin Tai really loves Qin Xin as her granddaughter.

Thinking about it carefully, even if Mrs. Qin is partial, she is not bad. Whether it is now or in the novel, she can't be considered bad to the original owner. She is just an old lady who is soft-hearted, and the older she gets, the more confused she gets. .

She lives in her own world, and what she can see, hear, and think is limited. She just hopes that her children and grandchildren can be harmonious and beautiful.

She hoped that everyone would be well, whether it was Qin Xin, Qin Zhun... or Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu.

Therefore, now she also knows that Qin Zening's future cannot be sacrificed to fulfill Qin Zhun.

To be honest, Qin Zening was also surprised, looking at her grandmother's eyes with a touch of emotion.

He solemnly replied, "Grandmother, I understand."

Qin Zening also had a general idea: his second uncle must have caused some trouble and wanted to solve it for him himself, but he didn't know how to be humble when he asked others, and he had to pretend to be an elder. I want to suppress my aura...

Qin Zening really wondered if the second uncle had been knocked out of his head, and he wasn't looking for abuse, so why would he help an uncle who didn't care much about him! Do you look so stupid?

!

Qin Zening silently "reflected" for a while in his heart. It seems that he is still too "gentle" in his usual behavior, which makes people think that he is a cabbage in the field...

Qin Di was eating grapes while exchanging glances with Qin Zening. She also guessed that the second uncle caused a lot of trouble this time, otherwise the old lady would not come out to find them.

Although Qin Zening agreed, Mrs. Qin Tai was still worried, she always felt that their children could easily be overwhelmed by their uncles as elders, and told a few words: "Ning brother, grandmother is for your own good. You must remember your grandmother's words and don't be soft-hearted."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm staring at Big Brother."

Qin Di said with a smile, "Grandma, eat grapes. These grapes are sour and sweet. I'll peel them for you."

Qin Di peeled grapes for Mrs. Qin Tai and fed them into her mouth.

Mrs. Qin Tai, who ate the grapes, enjoyed it very much, and her expression became lighter.

After the matter was done, Mrs. Qin Tai didn't stay for a long time, got up and said, "I'll go first."

"Grandma, I'll take you off."

Qin Di also stood up.

Qin Zening also wanted to send Mrs. Qin Tai off together, but she was dismissed by Mrs. Qin, "Brother Ning, don't send it, I just have a few words with your sister."

As a result, Qin Zening was left alone in the main hall, watching helplessly as the old man and the young man left him and walked away.

Mrs. Qin took Qin Di's hand and said as she walked, "Sister Di, your mother should have told you something, but your mother left early, your brother is heartless, and your aunt It's arrogant...hey."

"The Duke of Chenjun cares about you very much, which is a good thing, but this flower never blooms forever... Don't be self-willed in your actions in the future, this girl's family should still be obedient and gentle, marrying her husband and obeying her husband, just like your second sister, Although she and the second prince were a little unhappy before, they still coaxed people back, and if they give birth to a grandson in the future, at least they can be named a concubine..."

Qin Ji: "..."

She almost laughed, but held back.

She already knew the old lady's temper. When she heard the latter sentence, she directly put it in one ear and went out. Anyway, it was right to laugh.

Mrs. Qin Tai looked at Qin Di's educated appearance, and she was relieved: now Sister Di will be the princess princess soon, and Ning Ge'er has a good job again. stood still.

I have to pay attention to Ning Ge'er...

Mrs. Qin Tai came out from Hulu Lane and went back to the Hou Mansion. She thought about all the people she knew all the way, but couldn't think of a suitable grandson-in-law. She wondered if she had to go to the palace to talk to Queen Wei, but I was also afraid that Queen Wei would also pick Qin Zening to be arrogant.

In the tangle, Mrs. Qin Tai returned to Ronghetang, and Qin Zhun got the news immediately.

He had been waiting anxiously, and he knew that Mrs. Qin Tai had just gone to Hulu Lane. He felt that she must have been persuaded by him, and immediately came to Ronghetang again.
