Chapter 10 An Old Friend From The Capital Comes To Visit
Guangling City, government office.
Document library.
Qin Hongluan is sorting out the files on the bookshelf. There have been many unsolved cases in Guangling over the years. She plans to write down a few recent ones and go back to discuss them with Su Han to see if she can find some clues.
"Boss, there is a young man visiting outside, saying he is your old friend." A police officer walked into the room and reported in a low voice.
Upon hearing the word "old friend", Qin Hongluan narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and his face instantly became ugly.
When the police officer saw Qin Hongluan's appearance, his heart skipped a beat. Every time this boss showed such an expression, it meant someone was going to be unlucky. Would he be implicated?
It's all that young man's fault. I had to give him two taels of silver just now, otherwise why would I have waded into troubled waters?
"Help me sort out these two files, and I'll go out to meet that old friend." After Qin Hongluan finished speaking, he walked quickly outside the government office.
The detective in charge of delivering the message wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He did not dare to neglect anything at the moment and carefully sorted out the files.
"Cheng'an!" Qin Hongluan couldn't help shouting when he saw a familiar face.
"Sister Leping!" A heartfelt smile appeared on Qin Chengan's face.
"You stayed in the capital dishonestly, but you came to Guangling City at this time. Do you want to snatch the holy relics? If my eldest brother finds out that you are such a fool, you will probably be grounded for another month." Qin Hongluan sighed helplessly, Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and the royal family's situation is even more complicated.
"Hmph, eldest brother has no time to take care of us brothers at the moment. My father is in ill health. During this period, eldest brother is helping with government affairs. I came to Jinshan Temple to ask for holy relics from Buddhism this time because I want to cure my father. Sickness." When he mentioned Prince Qin Jiarui, Qin Chengan's eyes flashed with disdain.
Since ancient times, the royal family has established the eldest rather than the young. This is also a rule passed down. The fear is that the political power cannot be smoothly transitioned, and usually the eldest son has a powerful maternal family. This is also easy to convince, and the blood of the eldest son is even more Nobility and purity were something that was highly valued in ancient times.
As long as the prince is virtuous and not stupid, then other princes, even if they have both civil and military skills and talents and virtues, are destined to be unable to inherit the throne.
But the royal family is not that simple. The other princes also have ambitions and want to experience the rights that the supreme position brings.
The nine princes of Qian Kingdom are all among the best, so no one is willing to see the crown prince succeed to the throne. They strive to change Emperor Qian's mind about the crown prince's succession before he dies.
Qin Chengan was the fifth prince. He came to Jinshan Temple this time, nominally to use the holy relics to cure his illness. In fact, he wanted to use this matter to improve his status in the eyes of Emperor Qian and the ministers.
How could Qin Hongluan not see the true thoughts of her fifth brother? But to her, the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands were flesh, and the nine princes were all relatives. It was hard for her to favor anyone.
"It's just nonsense. Those who dare to come to Jinshan Temple to fight for the holy relics must be famous strong men in the world, and there are many people from the demon sect from outside the territory. How can you fight with them? If an accident happens, the three guardian Yi tribe around you are all It's light." Qin Hongluan scolded Qin Chengan mercilessly with a straight face.
Qin Hongluan exuded a powerful aura, and Qin Chengan shrank his neck and did not dare to refute.
The guard in the distance felt even more shuddering, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "As expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess Qian, the unique temperament of a superior person is undoubtedly evident. He has only seen it in Emperor Qian and the Crown Prince.
If he had the right to choose, the guard would not be willing to take Qin Chengan to take risks, but he could not disobey the order.
"Don't worry, Princess Leping. I'm not taking anything by force this time, but I'm going to exchange it for treasures of equal value. If things don't work out, I will quit decisively." Qin Chengan retreated because of difficulties, so what qualifications did Qin Chengan have to compete for the throne.
"Since you have nothing to do for the time being, come to my house to rest tonight. However, your identity needs to be kept secret. Your brother-in-law doesn't know about my situation." Qin Hongluan didn't have much to say about this.
In order to stabilize the right prime minister Zhao Wuji, Emperor Qian planned to hand over Qin Hongluan to Zhao Huai'an, the second son of the Zhao family. After Qin Hongluan argued to no avail, she left the capital and came to Guangling with the help of the fourth uncle who loved her the most. The government office acted as a catch-all until the matchmaker helped her connect with Su Han...
…
Qin Chengan sat at the table eagerly, watching Lian'er bring the food to the table, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Yellow croaker in soup, mapo tofu, braised pork, and vegetarian three shredded vegetables were all dishes that Qin Chengan, the fifth prince, had never seen before. Moreover, these dishes were full of color, flavor, and presentation, and were no worse than the royal chefs in the palace.
"Sister, when will we have dinner?" Qin Chengan urged in a low voice, unable to bear the greed in his stomach.
"Waiting for your brother-in-law to serve." Qin Hongluan was holding a bowl of tiger bone nourishing soup. This was a soup she specially made for Su Han. It has a very good effect on nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang.
After Su Han finished frying the last dish, he washed his hands and came to the table. Seeing Qin Chengan's obedient appearance in front of his wife, he had to sigh that things are unpredictable. This young man who looked so precious turned out to be his brother-in-law.
No wonder he always felt that he had seen the other person somewhere. It turned out that he looked a bit like Qin Hongluan.
"Xiao Wu, please don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home. If you need help with anything, just ask." Su Han sat on the main seat and Qin Hongluan thoughtfully poured him a small cup. liquor.
Lian'er helped Qin Chengan fill up the drinks.
Qin Chengan looked at Su Han and Qin Hongluan's loving appearance. The Princess Qian who used to be a headache for her father had really changed a lot. He silently wished the two of them a long life together.
Su Han raised his wine glass and touched it with Qin Chengan, and then drank the wine in one gulp, feeling satisfied.
To be able to marry such a virtuous and gentle lady must be a blessing that he cultivated before time travel. It is no wonder that he often helped the old lady cross the road.
As for whether Qin Hongluan's family is rich or not, and why he came to Guangling City, it has nothing to do with him. Su Han just wants to live peacefully with Qin Hongluan.
"This is a wild large yellow croaker unique to the Huaihe River. It is boneless and air-dried. It is supplemented with shark's fin, snow clam oil, aged ham, fish lips, pearl soup balls, large kale and thick chicken soup, which makes this dish richer in texture. ." Su Han used a porcelain spoon to lightly scratch the fish belly, and the rich soup and rich ingredients flowed out. He scooped up a spoon and blew on it twice, then personally fed it to Qin Hongluan's lips.
"I didn't expect that this soup is as clear as light tea, and you can see the pattern on the bottom of the bowl at a glance, but the taste is delicious and mellow." Qin Hongluan was attracted by the taste of this dish, and her beautiful eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape.
Qin Chengan curled his lips after being fed a mouthful of dog food, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of tender, snow-white fish and put it into his mouth.
"It melts in your mouth and is extremely delicious. If my brother-in-law opens a restaurant, he will definitely make money." As a prince, Qin Chengan has eaten countless delicacies, but none of them can compare with the soup-filled yellow croaker in front of him.
