Chapter 99: Sending Off the God of Plague
Chen Weiyu didn't even get up and give up her seat. Since she had seen Jiang Konghou's purpose, there was no need to intensify the situation on the spot. The tougher the other party was, there was no need to confront him head-on. She whispered: "Dad, why did you come back so early?"
Chen Qiongnian smiled and said, "There are distinguished guests at home. Wouldn't it be rude to be the head of my family be absent?" He sat down next to Qin Lang, and after Mrs. Chen came back, she sat down next to her daughter.
The dishes were naturally carefully prepared, so the wife of the Censor and the daughter of the King of Fufeng Jiang Xutuo should be treated well.
If you have good dishes, you must naturally serve with good wine. Qin Lang took the initiative to pour the wine. Jiang Konghou said, "Sit down and let Wei Yu come."
Mrs. Chen pinched her fingernails into the palm of her palm. Who did this woman think she was? This is my family, not your family, this is my daughter, and not your daughter.
Chen Qiongnian smiled and said, "Of course Wei Yu should pour wine, so how can you let the guests do it."
Chen Weiyu filled Jiang Konghou with the wine glass. When Qin Lang arrived, Qin Lang said he would not use it.
Chen Qiongnian said: "How can men not drink? Full of them!" If you can force my daughter, I can force your godson!
Jiang Konghou said: "Chen Siming, you are barely trying to be a child. My son has not yet married and cannot be considered a real man."
Chen Qiongnian keenly realized that the tigress was luring the enemy deeper, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I heard that Lord Sang has been appointed as the Minister of Responsible for Life. I wonder if this matter is true?"
Jiang Konghou said: "We women don't care about the major affairs of the court. Let me tell you my heart. I wish he was just a commoner and could accompany our mothers every day. My life is like a widow. You must have empathized with Ximei, sister, right?"
Although Mrs. Chen was very disgusted with Jiang Konghou, she said this very well. Whenever she married an official, as long as she had some real power, no one would regard official affairs as much as she was, especially Chen Qiunian, who was in charge of the Demon Suppression Department. Mrs. Chen no longer remembered when he had lunch at home last time.
Chen Qiongnian sighed and said, "I am busy with official duties and I really owe too much to my family." This sentence is a sincere statement.
Jiang Konghou said: "So, if God gave me a chance to make a new choice, I would not choose to marry an official. The court is the main house, and after marrying, I can only be a concubine."
Chen Qiongnian and his wife looked at each other. Jiang Konghou had no choice but to stop him from speaking. He asked them to answer, either.
"Just say that my little daughter Nuanmo, Cao Sheng, who was engaged, felt dissatisfied. As soon as I told me, I promised to terminate the engagement."
Chen Weiyu was shocked when she heard this. She and Jiang Nuanmo were close friends, and she didn't even know about this, but she had always known that Jiang Nuanmo was dissatisfied with this marriage.
Jiang Konghou picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all: "Marrying is for others to see. Women, what can I do if I marry into a wealthy family? Once I enter the palace, I feel as deep as the sea. Even if you marry the emperor, can I guarantee that he will treat you wholeheartedly? Can I stop him from the three palaces and six courtyards?"
Mrs. Chen looked at her husband eagerly, and the tigress brought back the topic.
Chen Qiunian smiled and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we parents can't take too much care."
Jiang Konghou said: "That won't happen. Parents must think about their children's happiness. They must not treat their children as bargaining chips for their own selfish desires."
Mrs. Chen's face had changed. She lowered her head, afraid that Jiang Konghou would see the anger on her face.
Chen Qiongnian's expression was still unstoppable. He has been in charge of the Demon Suppression Department for so many years, but he has never seen any kind of demon before. Jiang Konghou, Jiang Konghou, is it a bit too much for you to come to my house to act a monster?
Chen Weiyu said: "I think Mrs. Sang's words make sense. Fortunately, I have such a reasonable parents." He took the initiative to reach out and hold her mother's hand to soothe her emotions.
Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter and suddenly felt a sense of guilt. Her daughter was eighteen, and she was in her youth and talented and beautiful. She asked her to marry the little emperor of Dayong, what did he know about that twelve-year-old child? How could her daughter like him? Is it worth sacrificing her daughter's lifelong happiness for the Chen family?
Qin Lang took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Chen Qiongnian, and Chen Qiongnian said, "You really don't drink?"
Qin Lang shook his head: "You can't drink it, you're allergic!"
Everyone looked at Qin Lang, and Qin Lang realized that he had left: "I am more sensitive to wine, and I get drunk when I get drunk when I get drunk."
Jiang Konghou said: "If you don't like drinking, don't force yourself. By the way, Wei Yu, how is your marriage going on?"
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but cough. She was too busy with her. Shouldn't she propose marriage for her newly recognized godson?
Chen Qiongnian said: "Qin Lang, what do you think of what happened in Sang Mansion last night?" He had to take the initiative to interrupt the tiger's continuous attack.
Jiang Konghou's lips had a smile. Chen Qiunian, Chen Qiunian, you took the initiative to deliver this to your door.
Qin Lang said: "Mr. Chen, I feel that there are too many things that make sense last night, and there are many doubts that need to be investigated."
Chen Qiongnian nodded and said, "I think so too. Because this incident made Mrs. Sang scared and many misunderstandings have been made. After thinking about it, it is better to check the matter as soon as possible. Sister-in-law, what do you think? I am going to let Qin Lang join the full investigation of this matter in the Demon-Shenzhen Department, and I must give you an explanation to Lord Sang as soon as possible."
"But Qin Lang is not from the Demon Suppression Department."
"Is it all up to my words?"
"What seat are you going to give my godson?"
"According to your wishes, let him take over Zhou Lianjin's position, how about the position of Yin Xun's guard?"
Jiang Konghou finally felt satisfied and said to Qin Lang: "Son, you must learn more from Lord Chen in the future."
After eating and drinking, Jiang Konghou actually got up and left, which made the Chen family laugh and cry. The tiger had been struggling for a day, and it turned out that it was because she wanted an official position for her godson and wanted her people to enter the Demon Suppression Department?
Although Chen Qiongnian agreed to Jiang Konghou, he did not think that Qin Lang could make any storms in the Demon Suppressing Secretariat. Jiang Konghou looked at her adopted son too highly and underestimated the Demon Suppressing Secretariat.
Before Jiang Konghou left, he specially called Chen Weiyu to the side and talked alone. Although Chen Qiunian and his wife didn't want their daughter to go, they had to agree because of their face. Jiang Konghou was really a disaster.
Jiang Konghou asked more directly: "Weiyu, what do you think of my godson?"
Chen Weiyu smiled indifferently and said, "Why is Mrs. Sang's vision wrong?"
Jiang Konghou glanced at Chen Qiongnian in the distance and whispered: "How about I help you two?"
Chen Weiyu's smile remained unchanged: "Thank you, Mrs. Sang, but Weiyu has not considered this at the moment."
Jiang Konghou said: "Men are married when they are old and women are married when they are old. Some things must be faced sooner or later. Women must marry themselves in their best years." She hugged Chen Weiyu's shoulders and attached them to her ear and whispered: "I have heard a little about you. Are you really planning to be a nurse for a child?"
After all, Chen Weiyu is Yun Ying unmarried, and when she heard her words, she couldn't help but blush with shame.
"I'm going to say that, in fact, there are so many good men in the world. Why do you have to force yourself? I can tell you a secret, that child is still a fool."
Chen Weiyu suffered a series of critical hits from Jiang Konghou in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be calm and elegant: "Thank you, Mrs. Sang, for the reminder."
Jiang Konghou sighed and finally lost the interest in chatting: "Weiyu, if you have time to go to Yongdu, let Nuanmo persuade you."
Chen Weiyu nodded with a smile, but she knew that Jiang Nuanmo would not persuade her. They were all very opinionated people and would not be easily influenced by others. If they could not even understand this, how could they become close friends?
Jiang Konghou is not as simple as leaving the Chen family. She will return to Yongdu today. Chen Qiunian's family doesn't care where she goes. As long as she can send this plague god away, she really wants to keep her at home, but I don't know how to bother them.
Qin Lang accompanied Jiang Konghou to Yuelai Inn. Although the Chen family arranged a carriage, Jiang Konghou refused. She said she wanted to see the street scene of Chiyang City.
The street scenes of Chiyang City in the past two days can only be described as lifeless. Because the emperor passed away, black veils were hung at the doors of every household, and lanterns with white and black words were hung in front of the doors. People would not dare to go out to the streets if they were not necessary. Although the rain stopped, it was covered with clouds, the north wind was howling, and the fallen leaves were floating everywhere.
Jiang Konghou walked a distance and looked at Qin Lang and said, "Son, why don't you talk? Do you think I'm using you and am angry with me?"
"No, I'm just wondering why Chen Qiongnian agreed to let me go to the Demon Suppression Department?"
"Does he dare not agree? Chen Qiongnian is very smart. He was clearly instructed to put the two monsters at Sang's house last night. While Sang Sanjun was away, he wanted to get a personal stolen goods. In this storm, we will be together with our Sang family."
Qin Lang guessed that there were complex interests behind this, so he did not express his opinions easily.
"I didn't discuss with you in advance, so I took you to the Chen Mansion. In fact, I just wanted to see if you are smart enough and adaptable, because I was not sure to hand over the Demon Suppression Department to you before." Qin Lang had obviously passed her test.
"My godmother asked me to go to the Demon Suppression Department must have other meanings, right?"
"Of course, there is no hurry. You can adapt first. This is actually what your godfather means. This demon-suppressing corpse is mixed with fish and dragons. He has long wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, Chen Qiunian is too alert and the demon-suppressing corpse has always been a solid piece of the body."
Qin Lang nodded. He vaguely guessed that the real planner behind the whole thing should be Sang Jingtian. Jiang Konghou's appearance was just to fuel the fire, and the couple cooperated tacitly.
Jiang Konghou said: "What do you think of Chen Weiyu?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I don't understand." He didn't want to understand. After seeing Jiang Konghou's purpose, Qin Lang didn't want to be used by her from the bottom of his heart.
