  Chapter 63 Makes You Unable to Climb

  Qinren Square.

  Qin Lang, Ah Huang, and Qin Yong came back on horseback.

   Uncle Fu, who was guarding the gate, saw it from a distance, and kicked his son Laiwang who was dozing against the gate, "Little bastard, I haven't seen Saburo come back, so hurry up to greet him."

  The plaque on the Qin Family Mansion in Qinrenfang has been changed from the Yi State Mansion to the Qi State Mansion, and this time the door plaque is still given by the Crown Prince Li Shimin himself, with a few words painted in gold and colorful.

The Duke of Qi's mansion, which occupies an area of ​​200 mu in Qinrenfang, is not as shocking to Qin Lang as it was the first time. After all, his new residence in Pingkangfang is also a full 200 mu. Moreover, the location of Pingkangfang is closer to the imperial city than Qinrenfang, which is more noble.

  Qi Guogong's mansion also specially ordered to open the door facing the street.

  Qin Lang had just dismounted, but Uncle Fu over there had asked his servant to open the middle door.

   "Saburo, please."

   "Fuber, why are you so polite? Why did you open the middle door?"

  The bigger the family, the harder it is for the middle door to be opened easily.

"Sanlang, when you left home that day, I expected that you would have a great future, but the old slave never thought that you would make a great success so quickly. You are not ordinary now. You are now the Tang Yinqing Guanglu doctor, Shangzhu Guo, Yi Guogong, Ma Duwei of Changle County, Zhenfu Sicheng, and Jianmen are walking." The gray-haired Uncle Fu bowed his waist, looking at Qin Lang with a kind of gratifying light in his eyes.

   "Sanlang, you go out and set up a new door now, and now you are also a real duke, so of course you have to open the middle door to welcome you when you come back now."

   "Alang's Duke of Yi Kingdom fell to you, you don't know how happy these people in our mansion are for you."

  After hearing this, Qin Lang felt a little warm.

There are now four men and two women in the Qin Mansion, and the population is not too small, but only Qin Lang is older, and the rest of the young ladies are all two or three-year-old dolls. They are just like Qin Lang. The longer we stay, the deeper the relationship.

   Uncle Fu chuckled and said, "The gate of our state mansion is usually not opened when Uncle Cui is here."

  While speaking, Lai Wang brought Qin Qiong over.

  Qin Qiong happened to be resting at home today, and when he heard that his son was back, he actually came to the door in person.

   "I heard you got a new job." Qin Qiong asked standing there.

   "Well, I won't be the magistrate of Chang'an anymore, His Royal Highness asked me to form the Zhenfu Division."

   "Come on, let's talk in the hall."

Qin Lang turned to Ah Huang and said, "Ah Huang, take out the bag of golden beans in my saddle bag and give it to the people in the house. Today everyone has a share, and everyone has a reward. It can be regarded as my Qin Lang thanking everyone in the past To take care of me, I also ask everyone to take good care of Aye and my brothers and sisters for me in the future."

  The golden bean was made by Qin Lang with the gold powder given by Prince Li Shimin to make a soybean-sized golden bean. A bean looks small, but the density of gold is high. This one weighs about two coins. Now that the world has just ended years of wars, gold is still valuable. One tael of gold can be exchanged for about 20,000 copper coins. Such a small gold bean is worth about 4,000 coins, even if it is now worth more than 200 cash in Chang'an Doumi and silk. Forget it, one golden bean can buy two stones of rice.

   Ah Huang took out the bag, grabbed the golden beans and began to scatter them.

  One per person.

  The golden little golden bean is very heavy in the hand and looks even more cute.

   Fu Bo and the others held the golden beans and were stunned for a moment.

   "This is impossible, how dare you accept such a heavy reward from Saburo!"

Qin Qiong watched from the side, but just shook his head and said, "Since it was given by Sanlang, you just accept it. In the past, you took care of him for many years, and now he is considered to be a bit promising, so you can accept it if you give you something in return." , nothing can be done."

  Although he felt that his son's behavior was a bit too Meng Lang, but this was his son's gold, and he was willing to reward others, so of course he would not stop him.

  There were a lot of people in Duke Qi's mansion, Ah Huang carried a purse and scattered golden beans everywhere, and in a blink of an eye more than a hundred golden beans were released, which was worth more than two catties of gold, worth more than five hundred guan.

  Everyone got what Qin Qiong said, so they accepted it with a smile on their faces, and they were very grateful.

  Miss Cui was talking to her elder brother Cui Dunli and sister-in-law Lu Shi in the backyard, when a servant girl came to show off after getting a reward.

  When Cui Dunli heard this, he couldn't help being angry.

"This Qin Lang is getting more and more outrageous. I don't know how many times I have visited his house in Yong'an Square in the past few days, and reported how many good news for him, but he hasn't even given me a cup of tea. You are so generous to these servants and servants, everyone is rich with a golden bean." His words were full of resentment and sourness.

  Ms. Cui couldn't help but sighed when she heard this, she actually had mixed feelings about this older concubine.

"Brother, don't say that about Sanlang. After all, Sanlang is younger. It's normal for him to be a bit frivolous for a while, but this kid is pretty good in general. I made a lot of trouble because of you talking about the matchmaker Zheng's daughter. I was so happy, I went out to set up my own family in a fit of anger, and I was also a capable person. I left the house and insisted on refusing to take a grain of rice or a penny from the Duke's mansion, saying that I would leave it to my younger brothers and sisters. Half of the property of the Duke's Mansion was given to him."

"What else?" Cui Dunli frowned, "Why didn't I hear you say that Shubao really said that he would give half of the property to Qin Lang? That's his fault. Qualifications to share half of the property? It would be good to just give some land money, but it is too bad to divide half of the property. Then from now on, those concubines will also have to share. What will we Wulang have left in the future? Isn’t this concubine Is there a difference, a loss of respect?"

  Cui Dunli's wife, Lu family, was born in Fanyang Lu family. She is also a woman with five surnames.

"Forget it, Sanlang didn't want anything from this mansion, and he wrote me a letter of commitment, promising that the property in this mansion will have nothing to do with him in the future. In fact, Sanlang is already proud of his youth. Duke, I heard that the Crown Prince thinks highly of him. Although Saburo, who bestowed marriage to him earlier, refused, but now he finally changed his temper. Now that the crown prince’s eldest daughter, Princess Changle, is favored even more than before, Princess Shang Danyang , gave 500 households food townships, and gave a lot of land, money, silk, gold and silver, etc., Sanlang is now a Wanguan family property, no less than this mansion."

  ·······

   "This kid is a bit evil." Cui Dunli couldn't help being even more annoyed when he thought that he would be hated by the King of Qin because of this kid.

Mrs. Cui said to her elder brother, "Brother, don't say these things in the future. I know that Sanlang has disrespected brother, but you are an elder, so be more tolerant. Anyway, now Sanlang is highly valued by the crown prince, and his rank is high. , and Princess Shang, my brother followed the wrong person before, and if he wants to rise in the court in the future, he will have to rely on your brother-in-law and father and son for help. We are a family, don't let the relationship become stiff because of a momentary rift .”

   "Brother, why don't you admit your mistake to Saburo in a while, and let this matter be exposed like this."

  Cui Dunli almost jumped up.

   "I confessed to Qin Lang? Why? How can I say that I am also an elder, his uncle."

   "Brother, I'm not Saburo's biological mother, so naturally you can't be regarded as his biological uncle. If the relationship is good, he will naturally recognize you as an uncle, but if the relationship is not good, how can he recognize you as an uncle?"

At this time, Mrs. Lu also wanted to understand, no matter what, Qin Qiong and his son are indeed princes and celebrities now, father and son are both princes of the country, and they belong to the same family, but Cui Dunli is now in a bad situation because he followed the wrong person earlier Woolen cloth.

   "My sister is right, you should admit your mistake in a while."

  Cui Dunli blushed, but there was nothing he could do.

  Dignified son with five surnames, but the current situation in the court is indeed not good, if no one is willing to help, it is useless to have a noble family background.

  ·······

  In the front hall of Duke Qi's Mansion.

   Qin Qiong and his father chatted for a few words, then Cui brought a few children over, and Cui Dunli and his wife also came to meet each other.

The fourth son of the concubine, Qin Li, is named Huaidao, and he is only a little over two years old this year. This child is lucky. Before that, Li Shimin rewarded Qin Qiong and his son, and specially presented Qin Qiong's father, Qin Ai, as the Duke of Jinan County, and specially ordered Qin Qiong's concubine Qin Li to inherit the title. , Even Xun of Shangzhu Kingdom also attacked.

A two-year-old doll already bears the title of Duke of Jinan County and honorary officer of Shangzhu Kingdom. This kind of honor is enjoyed by the prime minister Pei Ji who has just become an official. Duke, one son was specially granted the title of Duke of Hedong County.

   "Brother." Qin Huaidao jumped over happily when he saw Qin Lang, hugged his leg, and called for a hug.

  Qin Lang picked up the fourth child. This child is also a concubine and concubine. His mother is a beauty in the palace bestowed by Qin Qiong and Li Yuan after the Qin and Tang Dynasties.

   On the contrary, after the fifth Qin Xun and Qin Guangdao came in, he just grabbed his mother Cui's dress and didn't come to get close. Qin Xun is only more than a month younger than Qin Li. They are both born in the eighth year of Wude. This year is a little over two years old, but they have never been very close to Qin Lang. Mother.

   "Meet your third brother quickly." Mrs. Cui pulled Qin Xun out from behind and asked him to go to Qin Lang's side as well.

  But Qin Xun twisted his body and refused to take a step.

  Seeing this, Qin Lang smiled, stepped forward and reached out to hug the kid.

   "Which one is taller, Goro or Shiro, let's compare?"

   "I am taller than my fifth brother." Shiro Huaidao is more active.

  Qin Lang took out two pieces of jade from his body and gave one piece to each of the brothers, but the piece in Huaidao's hand was immediately snatched away by Guangdao.

   He wants two yuan for each person.

   "Give a piece to brother." Qin Lang said.

   "Give it to my brother if I want it." Huaidao seemed very sensible.

  Guangdao has one piece in each hand, no thanks.

Seeing that Qin Lang frowned, he knocked on Guangdao's head directly, snatched the piece of jade from Huaidao and returned it to Huaidao, Guangdao burst into tears, and returned the piece of jade that Qin Lang gave him It fell.

  Guangdao broke free from Qin Lang and threw himself back into the arms of his mother, Cui Shi, crying that his servants and slaves bullied him.

  Huai Dao was a little scared, and Yi Yi in Qin Lang's arms did not dare to say anything.

  Qin Lang frowned when he heard this.

"Ma'am, the fifth brother is a little bit spoiled, and I don't know if he heard some ignorant servants talking nonsense, or what, his own brother, he actually called a maidservant a slave, it's too inappropriate. "

Mrs. Cui smiled, "What Sanlang said is that this child spoils him too much, and it's becoming more and more outrageous." As she spoke, she actually pushed Qin Xun away, "Kneel down and apologize to your third brother and fourth brother Apologize."

  Qin Xun was still crying, but Cui slapped his son on the face.

  Qin Xun cried even harder.

  Cui's wife, Lu Shi, hugged him, and Cui Dunli said eccentrically, "Sanlang is now a noble and high-ranking official, so he wants to teach his younger brother instead of his parents?"

  Qin Lang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and told Cui that there was no need to do so.

  Qin Qiong darkened, "Enough."

   He roared, and Qin Xun didn't dare to cry.

   "Goro is indeed a little too pampered. Today's matter is his fault, and Madam's handling is not wrong. I punish him to kneel for half an hour, and he is not allowed to get up before the time. I have to apologize to Saburo and Shiro later."

   "Aye, Goro is still young and not very sensible, just teach him more. There is no need to punish him to kneel down. Kneeling for a long time will easily hurt his legs." Qin Lang persuaded.

   "No, no matter what." Qin Qiong said.

  Qin Lang pulled Qin Xun to his side again, "Fifth Brother, please apologize to Fourth Brother."

Qin Xun is usually very arrogant, but he is still very afraid of Qin Qiong. Now Qin Qiong's beard blowing and staring really frightened him. I said sorry to Qin Li.

   "And your third brother!" Qin Qiong shouted.

   "Third Brother, I'm sorry."

"Okay, remember from now on, although we are half-brothers, we are also brothers whose blood is thicker than water. As the saying goes, father and son fight tigers like brothers. There is no one closer than brothers in this world. If you want brotherhood in the future, if you can't even tolerate brothers, who will you tolerate in the future? If you don't even want to help you, who will help you in the future? You are the son of Aye and the son of Duke Qi. You are the one to inherit the title and property of the Duke of Qi, and I expect you to continue to shine on the family!"

  The jade fell, Qin Lang took another piece of jade to Qin Xun, and also gave a piece of jade to Qin Gui, Qin Shandao, the sixth son who was only half a year old.

Of the six brothers of the Qin family, the eldest and the second died in Luoyang, and the remaining four brothers, no matter how old or young they were, had already taken their names. Therefore, the inscriptions were taken before the appointment of officials. Their honorary officer is actually Qin Qiong, who rewarded all the sons for his high merit and loyalty after discussing his meritorious service.

  The two younger sisters, Qin Lang gave a string of pearl necklaces to each other.

  Qin Lang also gave Cui Shi a jade Ruyi, and Qin Qiong a jade sword.

Qin Qiong was very happy today, not only because of the gift from his son, but also because Qin Lang was no longer stubborn. Although he did not change his mind and agreed with Princess Shang Danyang, it was even more surprising to be willing to be the eldest daughter of Prince Shang, Princess Changle, even though Changle was only four years old. Years old, but this is really not a problem for the famous family, and they can get married after ten years.

  Qin Qiong said with a smile, "Sanlang, you have established your own family now. Although you have received a lot of rewards, you must also know how to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and know how to manage money. Otherwise, you can only get in and out, and you will sit and eat."

   "Aye, please rest assured."

  Finally, Ah Huang and Qin Yong were mentioned.

  Qin used to be made a viscount, and Ah Huang was also made a baron. Now that they both went to Qin Lang's Zhenfu Department to serve as the sixth and seventh ranks, Qin Qiong was very happy.

   "Yong'er has been with me for many years and is very capable, and Ah Huang is also loyal. I feel much more relieved to have the two of them by your side to help you."

"Aye, I want to let the sixteen family soldiers brought out from the mansion by my brother-in-law before. I will treat them kindly. Last time they followed me to calm the chaos, His Highness gave each of them a One hundred acres of land, three rounds of honors, and a lot of money and silk. I will also give each person a settling allowance so that they can take over their wives and children. It’s from a ninth-rank military position, so it’s considered a background.”

Now Qin Qiong was a little surprised. Those family soldiers were all Qin Qiong's old brothers, but they were all part of the Qin family, and they were not even considered as benefactors. Now Qin Lang was able to find a military officer for them , for these old brothers, this is really an excellent result.

   "This is very good, you are still useful in the mansion, just take it away. They follow you, I believe you will not treat them badly." Qin Qiong said generously.

   "Sanlang, I have nothing to worry about other things, the only thing is, what happened to Princess Shang Changle?" Qin Qiong asked. Why was it originally said that he wanted to marry Princess Danyang, but in the end the crown prince changed the marriage to Princess Changle? The generation was changed, and the aunt became a niece.

   "It's a long story." Qin Lang smiled wryly. With an outsider like Cui Dunli around, it's hard for him to say that this was a compromise made by the prince.

At this time, Cui Shi said, "Although you are only sixteen now, you are already the Duke of the state, and you are also a minister of the fourth rank. Now that you have separated your family and set up a household, you naturally have to consider getting married, but although you are now in Changle County Lord, if you really want to get married, you have to wait at least ten years. You should also consider accepting two noble concubines, so that you can have children sooner, and the branches will bloom sooner." As he said, Cui tactfully mentioned that there was a woman in her natal family. A suitable niece, "If Saburo is free, I can arrange for you to meet."

  Qin Lang was surprised and looked at Cui Dunli and his wife, but Cui Dunli actually showed him an ugly smile.

   "The eldest lady's niece, is it Cui Sheren's daughter?"

  Cui Dunli's wife nodded quickly, "It's my auntie, she is thirteen years old, she is very nice..."

   "Stop it, you're only thirteen years old? That's inappropriate." Qin Lang directly refused.

  Cui Dunli's expression became even uglier now, "Didn't Sanlang look down on me?" Your four-year-old Princess Changle is willing to Shang, but you don't want my thirteen-year-old daughter? He felt that Qin Lang was still a dragon and a phoenix, and wanted the eldest daughter of the crown prince instead of the emperor's daughter. It was clear that the emperor had been placed under house arrest in the palace and had no power.

   "It doesn't mean that." Qin Lang just smiled.

"Sanlang, it would be great for us to get married. I am a daughter of the Cui family in Boling, and I am also a daughter of a famous family. What's more, my aunt is a legitimate daughter, and my mother is from the Lu family of Fanyang. If you get married, it will be the military upstart Qin Qin. Family, you should think about the strong marriage with the famous noble families Cui and Lu." Lu reminded her of her natal family's prestigious status.

Cui Dunli is really in a hurry now, having lost his old backer and being hated by the new prince, right now he doesn't even care about the face of the famous family of five surnames and seven sects, even the eldest daughter is willing to be a concubine for Qin Lang, a concubine whom he has always looked down upon up.

  This was in the past, I dare not imagine that no matter how noble the concubine is, she is still a concubine.

  For a prostitute with five surnames, if she marries a concubine of a general, she will lose her status, let alone be a concubine.

   But even so, Qin Lang actually refused.

"Ma'am, it's not that I have any dissatisfaction with your family. It's just that the daughter is thirteen years old. This is really just a budding flower. At this age, it's not even the age for marriage. In fact, I'm only sixteen , I haven’t grown up yet.” This is indeed Qin Lang’s legitimate reason, thirteen years old, this is the age to be imprisoned, after all, he will be a junior high school student.

   It's still early to fall in love early, let alone get married.

"Why is it too early to be thirteen? Thinking about the time when His Highness the Crown Prince married the eldest concubine, the Crown Princess was only thirteen years old, and the Crown Prince was only sixteen years old. You are exactly the age you are now? Princess Changle was only four years old. Well, you’re not old anymore. My aunt is thirteen years old, and now she’s engaged, so she can wait another year or two before getting married." Cui Dunli said angrily.

Although it is popular among famous nobles to marry late, and they often get married in their thirties, that is because those famous nobles get married well, and it is not easy to find a suitable partner, but they would rather wait than just find someone to marry, of course Although they married late, they often started taking concubines and having children when they were teenagers.

  If you meet the right one, it is very normal to marry early at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

   It's just that Qin Lang is unwilling.

  Age is only a problem, what is more important is that he is not willing to be Cui Dunli's son-in-law.

   "Don't mention this matter again, I also thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it!"

  One sentence blocked both Cui Dunli and Qin Qiong.
