==Chapter 8 Martial Arts==

The skylight shines through the window and is paved with blue bricks.

Jiang Lanyue slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the man beside her.

Qin Wang will take a rest today and wake up later than usual.

Jiang Lanyue stood up quietly, walked to the window and sat down, absently stroking her earrings in the mirror. After a moment, Qin Wang suddenly said: "Why did you get up so early today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lanyue shook her hand and the rouge box fell to the ground.

Jiang Lanyue looked back and smiled, "Something happened to the shop at the other end of Xizhimen. I have to go and take a look."

Qin Wang sat up, rubbed his neck, and said, "What's the matter? Is it serious?"

Jiang Lanyue walked up to him, slapped his hand away, rubbed it for him herself, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. If I can't handle it, I will fight with the official." He said, "Master, it's hard for you to take a bath, so you should rest more."

Qin Wang held her hand and said, "Thank you for the hard work at home."

Jiang Lanyue smiled and said: "It's not hard."

As soon as Jiang Lanyue left the Qin Mansion, Qin Sui stepped into Qin Wang's study.

Qin Wang was shaking while holding a stack of letters, and then threw it on the table with a "snap", "Qin Ziyou, are you crazy! Are you so intolerant of her? Aunt Qin is in this family. What has she fought for for more than ten years?"

Qin Suizhi looked at Qin Wang coldly, "If father doesn't believe it, he can follow her out of the city and see with his own eyes who she went to see today."

Qin Wang said with a look of disbelief: "It's ridiculous!"

"Does the father not believe his son, or does he not dare to believe his son?" Qin Suizhi looked at Qin Wang and said: "If the son wronged her today, then when the father comes back, the son will personally apologize to his aunt."

Qin Wang's Adam's apple moved slightly, he clenched his fists, and his joints turned pale.

He knocked on the table hard, turned and left.

******

In the evening, the sky is filled with red clouds.

Jiang Lanyue returned to the Qin Mansion carrying packages of various sizes.

The servant next to Qin Wang said: "Auntie, the master is waiting for you in the main hall of the front yard."

Jiang Lanyue blinked and said, "It's already dinner time, why are you going to the front hall?"

Chang Fou smiled awkwardly: "This...servant doesn't know."

Jiang Lanyue followed Chang Fou towards the Weeping Flower Gate, bypassing Lanxu Pavilion, which was the main hall of the front yard.

She raised her eyebrows and opened the door anxiously.

Qin Wang sat on the rosewood Pisces pattern armchair, Qin Suizhi and Qin Jing sat beside him, all three of them looked at her.

"It's a coincidence that the eldest lady and the eldest man are both here." Jiang Lanyue put down the food box and package in her hand and said with a smile: "I ordered two sets of clothes for the eldest lady in Miaolan Pavilion. I don’t know if it fits..."

Jiang Lanyue took the clothes and walked to Qin Juan, "Girl, let's try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll get it changed quickly."

Qin Juan looked at her, grabbed the clothes in her hand and threw them to the ground.

If it were normal, Qin Wang would definitely yell, "Ah Juan, please stop it!"

But today, he only held the armrest tightly.

Jiang Lanyue bowed and picked up the clothes, bit her lower lip, and said with red eyes: "Is it the look and texture that I don't like? Or the color? It's all my fault that I didn't inform you in advance..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lanyue sniffed and waited for Qin Wang to speak.

But today, in this quiet room, people are panicking.

After a long silence, Qin Wang lowered his voice and said, "Where have you been today?"

Jiang Lanyue didn't expect that he would ask this suddenly. A trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, but she still said softly: "I went to Changqing Street first, and then bought some things. I was thinking about Da Lang. I rarely came back, so I bought some crab roe that he loved to eat. The crab fat in late autumn is a good time."

This is the brilliance of Jiang Lanyue.

The lies she tells are always mixed with a bunch of truths, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies.

Qin Wang looked into her eyes, pinched his fingers and said, "Why did you withdraw one hundred thousand taels of silver from the shop on Changqing Street today?"

Jiang Lanyue knew that she couldn't hide the one hundred thousand taels of silver, so she had already thought of a reason.

She said anxiously: "I thought that our eldest girl would be chosen for her unparalleled beauty, appearance and intelligence, but the palace is not as good as home, and everything needs to be taken care of, so I ordered some South Sea pearls with the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion... …”

"Enough!"

Qin Wang stared, pointed at the indigo package at Jiang Lanyue's feet and said, "What South Sea pearl! Tell me, what is that!"

Jiang Lanyue's body stiffened, as if she had been hit by a boulder.

But he still said stubbornly: "This is the rouge I bought."

Qin Wang raised his head and said "ha". He didn't know if he was crying or laughing.

Rouge, good, really good.

He hurried out of the city today, always telling himself that it was just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, but in the blink of an eye, he saw her and Zhu Ze.

She gave Zhu Ze one hundred thousand taels of silver, and Zhu Ze gave her this indigo package.

When he saw this scene, Qin Wang's pores exploded.

Having been my pillow partner for more than ten years, he failed to understand her at all.

Qin Wang walked quickly to her side, opened the package, and with a crash, all thirty-eight letters fell out.

These thirty-eight letters could kill her daughter.

Qin Wang pointed at the letters with his trembling index finger and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Jiang Lanyue suddenly realized.

It turned out that he knew everything.

It turns out that this is a Hongmen Banquet.

At this moment, she was thinking, should she vent her dissatisfaction like a madman, or should she bow her head and beg for forgiveness?

After weighing it, she chose the latter.

After all, Qin Wang has always been a soft-spoken person.

Jiang Lanyue burst into tears before she could say anything, and said sadly: "Master, this is all my fault."

Qin Wang backed away repeatedly, as if he could no longer believe the tears of the person in front of him.

All the events of the past ten years flashed before him one after another.

"Brother-in-law, I miss my sister, do you miss her? It would be great if my sister was alive."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, the eldest lady is very kind to me. I will definitely honor her after I die."

"Master, the eldest lady can't tolerate me, otherwise I'd better leave."

"Guan Ye, this is our child, Ronger."

"Rong'er, be obedient and don't argue with your sister or embarrass your father."

Qin Wang took a deep breath and murmured: I think I can lead you well, why do you...

Jiang Lanyue cried and said: "I never wanted to do anything to harm the Qin family. These letters were originally intended to be shown to the officials. I just wanted to fight for Ronger once. If Ronger is not a direct descendant, Erwu's brother loves her, and I am afraid that she will be bullied in the future, so I am obsessed with her."

Jiang Lanyue looked up at Qin Wang and said, "Master, if my sister sees me like this, will she be heartbroken?"

After saying that, Jiang Lanyue stood up and bumped against the red sandalwood square table, showing her strength, and blood dripped on the ground.

Qin Wang frowned at her and said, "What are you doing!"

After seeing this play, even Qin Juan had to admire this little Jiang.

When something happened, he first admitted his mistake, and then brought up Qin Rong, implying that all the crimes were based on the relationship between legitimate concubine and concubine.

Finally, Qin Wang’s unforgettable first wife, Jiang Mingyue, was mentioned.

Qin Wang's cold and stern eyes clearly softened as she cried one sentence after another.

Jiang Lanyue seemed to have become that helpless woman again.

Seeing this, Qin Suizhi slapped the table and stood up.

The young man with a jade-like face, his eyes as if tempered by ice, said in a deep voice, word by word: "From today on, you are no longer the aunt of the Qin family, but I miss you as the biological mother of Sister Rong. I won't take your life, but the Qin Mansion can't keep you. I have a villa in Qian'an, and I will send someone to take you there tomorrow."

Jiang Lanyue took a breath.

Qian'an County is Wen Shuanghua's hometown. If she returns to Qian'an, will the Wen family skin her?

Jiang Lanyue knelt at Qin Wang's feet and said: "I deserve death for my crime. I dare not ask for forgiveness from the master. I only ask the eldest lady and eldest son not to blame Rong'er. She doesn't know anything."

As soon as these words were said, Qin Rong ran in, "Auntie, what are you doing! Get up quickly!"

Qin Suizhi said to the boy beside him: "Why don't you pull the second girl away quickly? What are you waiting for!"

Qin Rong also knelt down and lay at Qin Wang's feet, "Dad, please don't drive your mother away, okay? Rong'er can't live without her mother..."

Qin Wang, who was over forty years old, felt as if his heart was trembling as he looked at everything in front of him.

Qin Rong was brought up by him, and Jiang Lanyue also served him for more than ten years.

He is indeed intolerable.

At this moment, Qin Juan stood up and touched the corners of her eyes with her fingertips. Her nose was slightly red and she shed silent tears.

She looked down at Qin Rong and said slowly: "If you can't live without a mother, can I live without a mother?"

Qin Rong raised her eyes and looked at Qin Juan, broke down and cried, "Sister, mother is at fault, Rong'er is also at fault. Sister, please hit me."

"Hit you?" Qin Juan turned back to Qin Wang and said, "Dad, if it weren't for her, my mother would not have died. If my mother had lived, my brother would not have sworn that oath."

Qin Juan's tears fell from her eyes, "Two days ago, the results of the provincial examination were released, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. Does Dad know how long my brother has been watching there?"

"It doesn't matter what I am like. Qin's parents and daughters have always been disrespectful, ignorant, arrogant and willful." These are the words Qin Wang used to criticize Qin Huan.

"But my brother has been extremely smart since he was a child. He will not be able to become an official in this life. Is this useful if I beat her?"

They would break Qin Wang’s heart, wouldn’t she?

Qin Suizhi will not be able to take the scientific examination in this life, which will be a lifelong pain for Qin Wang.

Qin Juan looked at Qin Wang's eyes on the verge of collapse and continued: "Dad, do you still remember what my mother often said when she was sick?"

Qin Wang's pupils shrank, "A-婈..."

Qin Juan gave him the final blow, "Mother asks you why you don't believe her."

Qin Wang saw Wen Shuanghua again. Her face was pale, her hair was messy, and she was muttering silently, "Why don't you believe me? I'm your wife too, why? Why?"

Qin Juan knew very well that with Qin Wang's temperament, this sentence was enough to make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Jiang Lanyue was completely frightened. Her whole body was shaking like chaff, and she shouted to Qin Wang: "Master... it's not like this, it's not like this."

I don’t know how long it took, Qin Wang closed his eyes, and he said hoarsely: "Come here, take the second girl back to the house, and send Mrs. Jiang out of the house immediately."

******

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the autumn breeze is cool.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Qin Suizhi moved a huanghuali wood box into Qin Juan's yard.

Qin Juan said in surprise: "What is this?"

Qin Suizhi handed her a key and said with a smile: "Ah Juan, open it and take a look."

Qin Juan took it.

The key entered the lock, and after shaking it twice, she opened the lid.

At this sight, Qin Juan was stunned.

The box was filled with gold leaves, fine mutton-fat jade and South Sea pearls.

And the golden flower inlaid with red pearls she wanted.

These things, not to mention priceless, are enough to buy ten shops in the best area of ​​Dongzhimen.

Qin Suizhi said: "Although Jiang Lanyue is hateful, some of her words are right. Our family background is not obvious. If you really enter the palace, there will be too many things to take care of. I have nothing to give you." , these are for your dowry, I have been saving them for many years."

Qin Juan's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing these words.

She seemed to hear Su Huaian saying in her ear: "A Ling is getting married. What dowry do you want? Can you please make a list for me?"

Qin Suizhi raised his hand to wipe her tears, raised the corners of his lips and said, "Are you moved now? Your brother and I are now a big merchant in Henan. It won't be long before our business can reach Suzhou. , fabrics, flour, jewelry, restaurants, and there are many things you don’t know. I have thought about it. In two years, I will go to sea by boat and go for a walk, over there in the south..."

Qin Juan didn't speak, and kept listening to Qin Suizhi talk about the outside world.

Talking about how powerful he is and how easy it is to get money.

Qin Juan knew in her heart that Qin Suizhi said this just to make her forget the oath.

But she could never forget the look in Qin Suizhi's eyes when he looked at the word "Jie Yuan".

Qin Suizhi kept talking for half an hour, and his mouth was dry. He stood up and poured a glass of water. As soon as he took a sip, he heard Qin Juan say: "Brother, if you can't pass the examination, let's take the martial arts examination." Right."

Qin Suizhi froze, "What did you say?"

"Although the martial arts examination focuses on skills and courage, it also tests strategy and policy theory." Qin Juan looked at his back and said: "Your Majesty is a military commander. He respects the virtuous and loves talents, knows people and makes good use of them. Although the martial arts examination is not as good as the imperial examination , but it is enough if you can become an official."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Suizhi turned around and looked at her.

The candlelight was bright, and Qin Juan saw a cluster of light in the young man's eyes.
