Return of the Swallow

When everyone heard the words, they put down their tea bowls and turned their eyes to Qin Huaiyuan, which shows the respect of the Qin family.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said: "These days, I'm not at home, and I'm working on my second and third brothers."

"What the eldest brother said, these days there is nothing important at home, and we don’t need to do anything. What's more, there are old ladies, sisters-in-law, and sister Yi in the inner house. We have closed doors these days and thanked guests behind closed doors. Be cautious. Be cautious, I only hope that the eldest brother can come back safe and sound. Now that the eldest brother is okay, our family has the backbone."

The second master was extremely serious and sincere, and everyone nodded.

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "The second brother really makes a foolish brother to say this. Without my involvement, the second brother would not lose his official position and go to the Ministry of Rites."

When the second master heard this, he shook his head again and again: "If there is no eldest brother to promote, if the Korean colleagues are not in the face of eldest brother, with my qualifications, I want to be a third-ranking member of the household department at least to make oil. I don’t know for a few decades, the eldest brother’s facilitating brothers will never forget, and now it’s not the eldest brother’s fault, the eldest brother is also innocently implicated, how can I blame you? Besides, we are a family, why bother talking!"

"Exactly." The third master also nodded.

The third master respected Qin Huaiyuan very much.

Qin Huaiyuan is transparent and upright. Even if the third master was born, Qin Huaiyuan has never bullied him as the eldest son since he was a child.When he was convinced that he was not studying, and decided to take over the family business, Qin Huaiyuan arranged for him inside and outside, secretly not knowing how much he had done to get him to stand firm.So the third master has always been grateful to Qin Huaiyuan, and now he heard the second master's words and nodded again and again.

Seeing the harmony of the three sons, the old lady laughed, and said in a low voice with Mother Qin and the second wife beside him: "Look at their brothers."

The second wife pursed her lips and smiled.

Mother Qin whispered in the ear of the old lady: "It's hard to find such a harmonious brother in Beijing. They are all well-bred up by the old lady."

Hearing the words, the old lady felt even more pressing, and she was refreshed in happy occasions, and she was now blushing.

Qin Huaiyuan sighed, and said, "Second and third brothers don't mind, that is because of your high moral character. In the final analysis, I understand that this matter is because I have been a good bird."

Turning to the whole family, Qin Huai said: "You all know that now the Great Zhou soldiers are coming to the city, Xi Huacheng will not be able to protect the night. If Xi Huacheng falls, the tiger army will have no worries about the future, and the next target will be Kyoto. The emperor has nothing to do, so he uses Cao Guozhang. Contacting Tatar, my testimony with Guozhang Cao has always been at odds. The emperor re-used the Cao family, so naturally he would have to press down on our house. Although I am released from prison and returned home, I am afraid it will be dangerous in the future."

Everyone heard the words, and the lightness of lightness just received.

The topic was heavy, and the second wife and third wife wanted to send the younger children to leave first. After all, Qin Yining's eleventh cousin was only seven years old, and he was afraid that the children would talk outside.

But Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand and said, "Second siblings, third siblings, the way of the world has changed, and some things should be known to the children. I have ordered someone to guard it outside, and the words will not be spread."

Eleventh Lord Qin Zong also nodded again and again, and said to the second wife: "Don't worry about your mother, your son is no longer young, you know what to say and what not to say."

The second wife and third wife nodded and sat down.

Qin Huaiyuan said again: "Our Qin family has always been doing things well, but now in this world, people can live longer not only by being good people. Just in case, I have to make arrangements in advance. If I have an accident, this family will be entrusted to my second brother. The second brother is an official in the middle and has a lot of knowledge and can grasp the direction at critical moments. As the patriarch of the Qin clan, the second brother can afford it. Then you must listen to his arrangements."

"Master Hou, you..." Tears welled up to Sun's eyes upon hearing this.

The old lady also frowned and said with a pale face: "Brother Meng, don't talk nonsense, you will be fine, you will live a long life."

Reassuringly smiled at his mother and wife, Qin Huaiyuan said, "Now the arrangement is just a foolproof plan. This is the case in the world. As the patriarch, I must also make arrangements. Mother should not stop me."

The old lady wailed for a moment, but did not stop him any more, but the blood on his face faded, and he took the veil and silently wiped away his tears.

Regardless of their tears, Qin Huaiyuan seriously asked the second master, "Once I was secretly assassinated, your second brother will leave Kyoto with your whole family immediately and go back to our hometown. The sacrifice field near the ancestral tomb was where I had been Although it is impossible for the family to continue to be rich and wealthy, it is not difficult to feed our whole family. Even if the emperor wants to hack the house, it will not take our sacrifice field. In this way, the life of the whole family can be guaranteed. The Qin family’s sacrifices can also be passed on."

"Big Brother..." The second master trembled in his heart and didn't know what to say for a while.

It turned out that as early as when Qin Huaiyuan was still icing on the cake and cooking oil on fire, he had already figured out the way out for his family.

"It's just a possibility." Qin Huaiyuan sighed, looked at the whole family, and said again, "If no one secretly assassinates me, once my political opponent takes the opportunity to step on me in the court, then I am afraid that the matter will be more serious. At that time, it will be the example of our family, Dingguo, and perhaps it will be a precedent for our family."

As soon as this was said, there was a dead silence in the hall, and many people appeared in terror, and even younger children were scared to cry.Even the old lady, the Sun family, the second wife, and the third wife paled with fright.

If something like that really happened, the Qin family would be completely finished, and he would lose the qualification to go back to farm.

Qin Huaiyuan set his sights on Qin Yining, "Sister Yi, you have the approval of the heavenly secret. It is a very expensive fate. The emperor will not treat you for the sake of a good luck. You must do everything possible to protect the whole family. The female family is well-rounded." As for the male, there is no escape.

Qin Yining got up and saluteed earnestly: "Father rest assured, if there is a day, I will take my responsibility. I know what my father is worried about. If you worry, I will do it."

Qin Huaiyuan looked at his beloved daughter, smiled, nodding, and said: "Very well, Sister Yi is so sensible, I feel relieved for my father."

Listening to Qin Huaiyuan’s disheartened and confession tone, Qin Yining was really bluffing in a cold sweat, but said seriously on his face: "Father's thoughts should not be too pessimistic. The current situation has not yet reached that level. To the extent, we still have a lot of room for operation. It's man-made, even if my father is chilled with some people, he can't lose hope in life. As long as people have a tone, we shouldn't give up hope!

Qin Yining's words struck Qin Huaiyuan's heart all at once, causing a crack in his peaceful smile.

No one found out, and only his daughter found out. He was indeed chilled, chilling to the emperor, to the court, and to the dark future of the Yan Dynasty.He worked hard for so many years, even if the emperor was faint and incompetent, he did not want to do his job. He just wanted to do his duty well and help the emperor Yan Chao to manage well, so that the people can live and work in peace. I wish.

But now?

The emperor is still faint, and the iron hoof of Da Zhou still wants to flatten Dayan. The people he is dedicated to protecting are treated as beasts by the emperor. The refugees enter the city without a shingle for sunshade and a floorless floor. They are only given one every day. After a meal of gruel soup, the elderly and children who died of illness closed down on the street, and carts and carts to the mass graves were cremated.

The emperor’s approach is not as good as his daughter!

His daughter had no money, and she knew that she would sell all the valuables to feed the refugees. People as old as the emperor didn't even know that she would buy clothes and jewelry for the demon queen without saving the people.

When he came out of the prison of the Criminal Ministry, someone he arranged to tell him all these actions on the Emperor of the Sun, at that moment, Qin Huaiyuan really felt that his hot heart was dug out and thrown into the ice cave.He was also ignorant before, and he even held hope for such an emperor.

However, since ancient times, "a fierce woman does not marry a second husband, a servant does not serve the second master", Qin Meng was born at an untimely time, did not catch up with a Mingjun, but did not want to be a traitor by himself.

He was chilled, he didn't want to move anymore, and he didn't want to do anything for such an emperor. Although he would not betray, he didn't want to do his best.

He thought that no one understood or saw these thoughts, but Qin Yining could see it.

The scene fell into dead silence again, and everyone looked at Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan silently, and seemed to understand Qin Huaiyuan's desolate mood at this moment.

The second master and the third master frowned.

The old Taijun, Sun's and others felt distressed for Qin Huaiyuan, and they all cried sadly.

Qin Yining stood up, walked slowly to Qin Huaiyuan, slowly knelt down, put his hands on Qin Huaiyuan's knees, and looked up at Qin Huaiyuan.

"Father, you are disappointed in those people, disappointed in this world. Your life's ambitions have been ruined by that person. I know the pain in your heart. If that person is a wise master, if that person can realize your ambition, even He uses all of you to make you a pedal. Although your heart is bitter, you will not regret or resent. But that person is the mud that can't support the wall. He doesn't even have that kind of thought, but he despises you. To persecute you."

Qin Yining's eyes were bright and clear. Although she did not say the word "Funjun", everyone knew what she was talking about.

Qin Huaiyuan looked down at Qin Yining, his hands on his knees gradually formed into fists.

"Father, I grew up in the market since I was a child. In the past years of war in Liangcheng, I really saw too many of those dark things. Life is the cheapest. There are seven children in a family, four girls and three boys, in order to support the whole family. , When the mother had no choice but to start selling from the eldest daughter.

"At first, the market was good, and the eldest sister was sold for a couple of silver, but the back was not good. Ten catties of soba noodles were exchanged for the youngest girl. The food in exchange went on to feed the three boys at home. The guilt of being brothers, because their lives were sold to relatives. But these people, even if it is so difficult, will still go all out to live, working hard until they lose their breath.

"Even if my father is not a prime minister now, he is not a great teacher. Even if our family is no longer rich and wealthy, and we are going to farm, but the family still lives, life is the biggest capital, why is my father? Want to be so pessimistic? Why lose hope?"

Qin Huaiyuan suddenly choked and asked: "Where are you?"

Qin Yining was taken aback.

Qin Huaiyuan asked again: "What about you? How did you survive?"
