I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 28

Since it was a triumphal banquet, Qin Jin must be praised and rewarded.After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Tianren had already returned to the apse to rest, and the banquet gradually dissipated.

Qin Jin drank a lot of wine, but his face did not change, but Qin Yang was really happy tonight, no matter how close he was to his son on weekdays, after all, it was father and son, and his son was rewarded, so he followed suit, not to mention anything else, just Thinking about the way those boudoir daughters looked at their son today and the fawning of those ministers made him happy.

I've lived a long time, and now I'm going to be forty, and I've never been so happy as tonight after being an official for a few years.Aren't those self-proclaimed first-rank and second-rank officials rushing to curry favor with themselves?

It doesn't matter that he is a fourth-rank petty official, it is enough for him to have a worthy son.The son is favored by the emperor, and his father also has a bright face.

Qin Yang drank a lot of wine that night, Qin Jin looked at it with a frown, arranged for a servant to help him, and he himself helped Jiang shi out of the palace.

"That boy is the eldest son of Xie Yuanzhou, ten years old this year, his name is Xie Zhihang." Jiang shi whispered the news that he had inquired in the Queen's Palace at night.At that moment, Xie Zhimian was also there, and even secretly observed her expression.Jiang shi chatted casually with the other wives, and after a while, they started to make up a routine.

Qin Jin frowned upon hearing this.Xie Zhihang, Zhijin.

Apparently the Jiang family also had this level of speculation, so they said in a low voice: "This Miss Zhijin also said that she didn't even know her name and surname. Seeing that the two look alike today, maybe this Xie family is Zhijin. Maybe the former home. And I also heard that the mistress of the Xie family is a master who doesn't care about things, and she is not in good health. Great, this Xie Zhimian was born of that Zhao family."

For all the big families, as long as the aunt is around for a day, the mistress will preside over the midwife. Few families will let the aunt preside over the midwife.

Qin Jin thought for a while and said to Jiang: "It's hard for my mother to ask Zhijin about this, but Zhijin was thrown away in the early years. Did mother hear that Xie's family was looking for a child?"

When asked, Jiang was taken aback, "I've never heard of this, but because your father and Xie Yuanzhou had engaged in child marriage in the early years, but when your father brought you home, Xie Yuanzhou said that the eldest daughter died at birth. , your father thought about the death of the eldest daughter and the second daughter, but Xie Yuanzhou was very protective of the concubine, and he would not agree to anything. So this marriage is over."

Qin Jin nodded, it seems that many things really happened in the past ten years or so.He also thought that Zhijin would be fine in his own house, so he wondered what kind of wolf den the Xie family was. The little nun had just escaped from one wolf den, so she couldn't fall into another wolf den.Immediately said to Jiang: "Mom, let's leave this matter alone for the time being."

"This..." Before Jiang could refute, they had already left the palace gate, and there were people everywhere outside, so she could only find other opportunities to talk to him.

Jiang Shi was supported by Qin Jin into the carriage, and Qin Jin rode behind him on the horse and drove towards the Qin Mansion.

And Xie Zhimian followed his father out of the palace and got into the carriage home.Because Xie Zhihang was present all the way, Xie Zhimian also gave up the idea of ​​talking, but when he looked at Xie Yuanzhou, his expression was a little excited, and he wished to fly back to Xie's mansion and throw himself into his mother's arms to talk about that man. The butler is waiting at the door.

Because Mrs. Zhao is an aunt, she is not allowed to attend the palace banquet. Now that she heard the girl's report, she hurried to the second gate to wait for the father and son who came back.

The night was dark, and it wasn't until entering the house that Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter's flushed face and shy look.

"Zhihang, go back and rest first, I'll take your father to sober up." Mrs. Zhao cast a sideways glance at Xie Zhihang who was silently at the side, and dismissed him casually.If it wasn't for Mrs. Qiao, their mother and son would have followed into the palace tonight, so it would be his turn.

Xie Zhihang was used to this kind of treatment, he saluted with Xie Yuanzhou and returned to his yard.

Xie Yuanzhou also drank a lot of wine tonight, happily took the brocade handkerchief that Mrs. Zhao handed over to wipe his hands, and seeing his daughter's shy look, he felt a little certain in his heart.Seeing his wife's curiosity again, she shook Zhao's hand regardless of her daughter's presence, and said with a smile, "Have fun."

"Master, why are you enjoying yourself?" Mrs. Zhao's eyes were bright, and at the age of thirty, she was indeed as beautiful as a young girl.

Xie Yuanzhou looked at his daughter and asked, "Daughter, can you rest assured this time?"

Xie Zhimian was doted on by his parents since he was a child, and when he heard what his father said, he felt a little shy, and covered his face for a while and said, "It's all up to Dad."

"Is this son of the Qin family really worthy of our Zhimian?" Mrs. Zhao was surprised by her daughter's reaction.My own daughter knows that since she was a child, she has been held in the palm of her hand and pampered, and her eyes have always been above the top. If she can win her daughter's heart, I am afraid that the rumors outside are true.

Xie Yuanzhou nodded with a smile, "The young man is 21 years old this year. He has never married a wife. The rare thing is that he has never taken a concubine or had a house. How many officials in the court are staring at him now."

When Mrs. Zhao heard that Qin Jin was so good, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Then, General Qin, can he look up to our Zhimian? You must know that other families may bring their prostitute daughters, but our Zhimian is a concubine..."

As soon as Zhao's words came out, the three of them immediately fell silent.That's right, although Xie Zhimian is outstanding, but he is a concubine, no matter how much they spoil him, they can't change this fact.Xie Yuanzhou also paused, holding Zhao's hand a little sadly, "I have wronged you all these years, but the old lady doesn't let go, there is really nothing I can do about it."

Zhao's tears came down immediately, "Master, I know that my ancestors don't like me, but I also gave birth to Xie's family. For so many years, haven't I been in charge of the Xie's backyard? Don't say credit, there is always hard work Okay, but why does the old lady still only think about Qiao's, and treat me so cruelly. I just want to treat the two children as my own, why can't we tolerate our mother and son. "

Xie Zhimian looked at his mother sad, and hated the main room even more. If there is no such woman in this house, then the mother is the master of the house, so why bother to call her mother when she is outside, and can only call her aunt.But my grandmother was devoted to protecting the mother and the child, and she and the younger brother were growing up, and the father just wanted to help the mother, but the old lady refused to agree.

"Mother, don't be sad. My father is a second-rank general after all. Although Qin Jin is a first-rank general, his foundation in the court is shallow, so he needs his father's help. Although I am a concubine, I am not inferior to those who are descended from the concubine." Xie Zhimian looked into his eyes. Cleverly, he sneaked a glance at his father and comforted Mrs. Zhao.

Xie Yuanzhou was very satisfied with his daughter's words, and nodded immediately: "Zhimian is right, besides, I also made a baby kiss with that Qin Yang back then, and I also tried to ask tonight, that Qin Yang is not a person who doesn't know what to do, After all, I didn’t refuse, I’ll ask again in two days. It’s not too late to think about other things then.”
