Chapter 921 Angry Cui Shi

   "Why did the saint return to the palace in a hurry?"

Cui Shi came in and saw Qin Qiong drinking alone in front of the fireplace, she couldn't help but frowned, Qin Qiong didn't raise her head, the two were originally a half-way couple, but the marriage was bestowed by the Supreme Emperor back then, and their relationship can't be said to be very good. In Jiannan Songzhou, the feelings are even weaker.

After coming back this time, the husband and wife were in the same room, and they couldn't even find any passion, and the wife always told him how Pingkangfang Sanlang was favored and popular now, and even brought a few concubine sons to be named princes, etc. , Always ask him to help the young Goro seek an official and a title.

  But Wulang is only a boy in his teens, and now he is studying well in the Chongxian Hall, and the emperor has given him the status of the son of Duke Qi.

   "The sage replied earlier!"

   Seeing her husband's perfunctory attitude, Cui was immediately dissatisfied. She worked hard for a long time, but the emperor left just like that, and Goro didn't even have a chance to bring him to face him.

   "It must be some kind of cured meat you made. There are delicacies from mountains and seas at home, and you want to make these dirty and smelly cured pork..."

   "Enough." Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.

"That's enough, and I think it's enough. You've been away from Beijing for a few years, and the imperial court called you again and again, but you didn't come back. The vixen in Songzhou have lost your soul. You took four concubines in three years, gave birth to three sons and one son." Girl, you are so chic and happy, you leave all our mothers here and don't care..."

   "I asked you to go to Songzhou, but you refused, because you thought it was wild and remote!"

"It's wild and remote, isn't it? The prosperous capital with millions of families will not stay there. Why do we go to that ghostly place? Wulang is studying in Chongxian Hall and asked you to help lay the groundwork, but in your eyes there is such a thing. Son? You only have San Lang in your heart. Is San Lang your son? Nothing else? San Lang is just a **** born to a humble servant, and Goro is the son of a descendant..."

Cui suddenly exploded. Looking at Qin Qiong, whose back was slightly raised and her face full of vicissitudes, she suddenly felt disgusted. She blamed her husband for not paying attention to her son Wulang, for taking concubines and having children outside, and for not caring about his family in the capital. No matter what, even today she was so busy making arrangements for a long time, but in the end her husband couldn't even entertain the emperor.

One of the two was born in a small gentry in Qizhou, joined the army at a young age, made military exploits in a hundred battles at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and became an upstart in the Tang Dynasty, and the other was a daughter of a famous family with five surnames and seven sects. A good marriage, but in the end, the emperor gave Qin Qiong a marriage, but the combination of the two is not a good match, let alone your love and my wish.

  Over the years, the two have not had a tacit understanding in terms of interests or living habits. Cui likes poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, flower arrangement, incense burning, peonies with blooming and rich flowers, and elegance.

  Qin Qiong has been fighting outside for many years. He doesn't care about small matters. He likes to drink and eat meat. He is an upright man outside, with friends all over the world, but at home, he is a shopkeeper who throws his hands away and doesn't care about anything.

  Especially for things like money, he doesn't care much. He doesn't know how to manage financial management, but spends money lavishly.

  For the old subordinates under his command, the relatives of the township party have always been generous and responsive to requests.

These Cui families have endured for many years, and now that their child is growing up day by day, it is time to pave the way for him, but Qin Qiong doesn't take it seriously, and even often says that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, that if they have abilities in the future, they will naturally have abilities, If you don't have the ability, no matter how good the road is paved, no matter how much family property you leave, it will only harm him. What did you say, in the future, you will leave ten hectares of land for each son, and two Zhuangzi will do, and the rest of the money will be taken away. Relief for the poor or something.

  I work so hard to manage the family business, but Qin Qiong spends money like water, and that remote fief Songzhou treats it like a treasure, throwing it into it like a bottomless pit, without end.

   "I've had enough!"

Cui couldn't help shedding tears as she said that, this marriage was ridiculed by the gentry, saying that the second house of the Cui family in Boling had been reduced to the point of marrying the daughter-in-law to a soldier. Walking around, those ladies always looked at her with different eyes.

"You only have Sanlang in your eyes. Saburo is a treasure, and everything else is grass. When Sanlang wanted to divide the family, you said that you would give him half of the property. Now that Sanlang is going to get married, you just want to give a dowry of five million. Return a thousand hectares of land, three hundred shops in two capitals, ten large ships on the southeast sea..."

  Qin Qiong frowned.

   "What do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean, Qin Lang has already separated his family, and he explained it at the beginning. After the separation, he will set up a separate family. From now on, he will have nothing to do with Qinrenfang. Now he wants to get married, give gifts, and wants For pomp, he will do it himself. Anyway, everyone in Duke Wei’s mansion in Pingkangfang knows that the wealth is incomparable. Let alone five million, ten million can be spent. No one knows how rich his fief is. He also masters sugar, celadon, glass, white wine, perfume and many other lucrative businesses, and the hair on his legs is thicker than our waist if he pulls them out casually. Does he use our Qinrenfang to buy gifts? You are generous, but not I know what you said, but I have worked hard for many years to buy it."

   "These should belong to Goro."

Qin Qiong frowned even more, "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really confused? I don't know how many properties we have in Qi's mansion. When San Lang separated the family, how many properties our family had was clearly laid out. The family business has indeed increased a lot in the past few years, but is that all your credit? It is all thanks to Saburo, the gift list I sent to the saint, whether it is a thousand hectares of land, three hundred shops, or even It’s ten boats, etc. Are those all from our Qinrenfang? Can we give so much? Those are what Saburo gave to the family little by little over the years.”

"Now he is going to get married and marry the princess. As a father, I am a little embarrassed to give him these gifts from him over the years. We should be responsible for this. Now it is just borrowing flowers to present Buddha. You still reluctant?"

Cui said angrily, "Saburo has given a lot of help to the family these years, and he has indeed given away a lot of property, but after all, we are his parents, shouldn't these filial pieties be due? Also, he didn't give so much, The help you said is true, but without my internal and external arrangements, would it be useful to rely on him alone?"

"Also, since these things have been sent to Qi's mansion, they are the things of Duke Qi's mansion. The two sides have already separated, so they have a clear distinction. These things will be regarded as Wulang's in the future. Why should they be given to Sanlang as a gift now? , and even affix most of the belongings?"

  Qin Langqi's chest rose and fell.

   "You women really have long hair but short-sightedness. You only know to stare at the thing under your eyelids."

   "Yes, I am a woman, but am I wrong?"

"Sanlang hasn't helped the family very much these years, even the Cui family of your mother's family? Don't look at your family's uncle, nephew and two servants, but think about who contributed to this." Qin Qiong's beard was messed up. shake.

  The majestic and invincible general on the battlefield has no fighting spirit when facing his sharp-tongued and aggressive wife. What's the point of trying to talk to a woman.

  He got up to leave, but Cui Shi stopped him and refused to let him go, "I must make it clear today, I will not let you give away the things at home!"

   "Let go!"

   "Qin Qiong, don't deceive others too much!"

  Seeing that there was movement outside, and the servants in charge approached quietly but did not dare to approach, Qin Qiong felt ashamed.

   "Where is the etiquette of your five surnames and seven famous families? Are you just acting like a country woman? Isn't it embarrassing?"

   "For the sake of this family, for the sake of my son, I'm still afraid of losing someone!" Cui tearfully tore.

  Qin Qiong was extremely angry, and picked up Cui Shi.

   "You man surnamed Qin, if you dare, kill me!"

  Qin Qiong really had that kind of thought, but it was only for a moment. He carried the rambunctious woman into the inner room, threw her on the bed, and pinned her down three or two times.

   "If I don't clean up you today, the sky will be turned upside down!"

   "The man surnamed Qin, a scoundrel..."

  ·····

   "Ah~"

  ······

  Qin Qiong used the simplest and most brutal method, single-handedly, single-handedly, beheading generals and capturing flags, capturing thieves and kings, and surrendering enemy generals.

  Kill him seven in and seven out, capture seven and release seven.

  Finally, Cui Shi surrendered.

   "Qin Qiong, you rascal!"

Panting heavily, Qin Qiong realized that he was really old. After a big battle, he was already too much to bear. He glanced at Cui Shi, whose hair was disheveled and paralyzed on the bed, "Okay, don't always calculate, don't pick up sesame seeds Lost the watermelon, if you are really smart, you should have a good relationship with Saburo, I am old, Saburo is still young, and you two are still young, in the future, our Qin family will still have to rely on Saburo to be the master."

"Sanlang is a generous person, otherwise he wouldn't have helped your Cui family all these years regardless of the past, and he wouldn't have given filial piety to the family. Your eyes are only on the bowl, but you can't see the outside. How ridiculously short-sighted ?”

  Cui still insisted, "Yes, I am a short-sighted woman, I am not as capable as you two, I can only stare at this little thing in the bowl, is it wrong for me to save some money for my son?"

  Qin Qiong leaned against the head of the bed, her thoughts wandering.

"I'm going to tell you something serious. I plan to let Goro and his three brothers go to Songzhou with me in the next year. It's hard to see a rainbow without going through wind and rain. If you don't sharpen your skills, Goro and the others will have a hard time making good clothes and good food." Promising. Just now the sage said such words to the crown prince, even the emperor thought of a way to sharpen the crown prince, and our Qin family can't let our children and grandchildren become dudes."

   "Goro is studying in the Chongxian Hall. If he wants to take you to the backcountry of Songzhou, he will take Shiro Liulang there. Our mother and I won't go."

"It's up to you. Goro and the others were really young a few years ago, but now they are all thirteen or fourteen years old. At this age, people from poor families are already considered half-strong laborers. Straightforward."

   "No!" Cui strongly opposed it.

  Qin Qiong turned her head and looked at Cui Shi, Cui Shi hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover herself, "No more, you beast, do you want to kill me?"

"One thousand hectares of land, three hundred shops in two capitals, will be assigned to Goro from now on, and you will take care of them, but after Goro has to go to Songzhou with me, and come back after staying for at least three years, should I change it? "Qin Qiong said expressionlessly.

   "Isn't this the gift you prepared for Saburo, and for Goro?"

Qin Qiong snorted, "What do you think the sage is doing at the mansion today? The empress opposes the extravagance and waste of weddings, so she asks that the cost of the wedding should not exceed 200,000 guan. The sage wants our family to control the ceremony and wedding expenses." Within 200,000 guan."

  Cui's brows were filled with joy when she heard that, she could not move as if she was falling apart, but now she has the strength to crawl over and lean on Qin Qiong, "Really?"

   "What are you doing to lie to you!"

   "Then you prepared more than this thousand hectares of land and three hundred shops."

   "Don't push yourself too hard, I have to save some for Goro's other six brothers. Since you are always thinking about these, then I might as well put the property back and divide it in advance."

  When Cui heard this, she became anxious, "There is such a big business in the family, and Wulang, as the son-in-law, is this the only point?"

   "Is it less? One thousand hectares is one hundred thousand mu!"

   "I know it's 100,000 mu, but how much is commercial land in the frontier?"

"Okay, don't fight back and forth. Give Goro 1000 hectares of land and 300 shops first, and his other six brothers will each share 100 hectares of land and 20 shops. As for the rest , don’t move for now, part of it will be reserved for the future dowry of the girls, and part of it will be used for the future wedding ceremony of their brothers, and I will give it to them after a hundred years.”

  When Cui got this remark, she became happy, "You still have a bit of a conscience, knowing the difference between a concubine and a concubine!"

Qin Lang looked at Cui Shi, who changed his face as if turning the page of a book, "I also solemnly declare to you that your behavior like a shrew today will deprive you of your status as a legitimate daughter of the five surnames, and also deprive me of my status as the head of the Qin family. It's just this one time, not the next one, I think you are also caring for your mother and son, so I won't bother with you, but remember, it's only this one time, otherwise don't blame me, Qin Qiong, for not being sympathetic."

"Hmph, if you have any status in your heart as mother and son, do I act like a shrew? You see how many wealthy families in Chang'an, although there are many concubines and concubines, who value the concubine so much? , don’t you just give some money casually and send it out to set up another family?”

  Qin Qiong said impatiently, "Okay, stop talking."

   "If you don't say it, you won't say it, but what you said just now has no proof. You can make a written proof in a while. It is best to give Saburo a letter to explain to him, so that he can also be a witness."

  Qin Qiong frowned tightly, feeling disgusted with the chattering woman in his arms. In Chang'an City, apart from some old folks worth remembering, there is really nothing he likes.

   It’s not as good as Songzhou. The blue sky, green grass, and vast snow-capped mountains make people really relax.

"My elder brother said that there is a vacancy for the minister of the Ministry of punishment recently. He has been the minister of the Ministry of war for a long time. He wants to fight for the position of the minister of the Ministry of punishment. Please help my elder brother recommend it in front of His Majesty, and also talk to Saburo and ask him to help recommend it. My brother..."

  Cui Shi leaned on Qin Qiong's chest, chattering again.
