Chapter 261
"Daddy!" Ling Xueji threw herself into her father's arms impatiently like a swallow returning home, and let her trembling hands caress the top of her hair, as if she was comforting herself who was about to cry.
The old butler of the prefect's mansion lowered his head, squeezed his cuffs and tucked the corners of his eyes twice, showing a kind and satisfied smile.Everyone in the room stared at the sound of swallowing, only Qu Quan who stood up with his head down looked at the reunion of the Ling family's father and daughter, his complex emotions were beyond words and he didn't know what was going on in his head.
It was enough for Ling Xueji to be coquettish in her father's arms, and then she remembered Qu Quan. She didn't know what her sister and Wei Yueyan did when they came, and she didn't care about the rules and regulations for the bride to return home, so she was straightforward and generous. Fang took Qu Quan's hand, and stood beside her in front of Ling Jiang, smiling happier than any woman in the world, "Daddy, this is Qu Quan, my beloved."
As soon as these words came out, not only Ling Jiang, but also the whole group of people in the house were shocked.In Daxia, everyone knew that Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments of the dynasty, was vicious in his means, but his reputation belonged to his reputation. When the real person stood in front of him, he would still feel panic subconsciously.And it's even more frightening that such a Shura-like power minister is not at all displeased by his second young lady happily holding her arms and pulling her in front of her father like an ugly daughter-in-law who is about to meet her parents-in-law.
Ever since the eldest daughter brought Wei Yueyan, the general of the Twelve Guards, back to visit Lingjiang, she was very surprised. After all, it was the first case in the Great Xia that an important official of the court accompanied his wife all the way back to her natal home to visit her relatives without any servants.He didn't even imagine that his second daughter would have a chance to come back to visit her relatives, but Daxia's second case of visiting relatives who did not take an unusual path landed on him again.
His longing eyes were glued to his daughter for the first time, and he didn't even notice that there was another girl sitting on top of her head.On the way from Baishouyuan, he was very calm, thinking that his second daughter had a bad temper, and he was afraid that he had suffered some kind of grievance and ran back alone—the butler was too anxious and only told the second girl to go home to visit her relatives, without mentioning her at all. The son-in-law also came.This time, the first time he saw Qu Quan, who was dressed in purple and had the temperament of Zhangtai bluegrass, he was completely still.
Ling Jiang has been an official for dozens of years, and the female general has seen him once or twice, and Wei Yueyan is very consistent with the reputation outside, so when he saw Wei Yueyan, he was not very surprised.However, it is the first time for the female minister to see her. The name Qu Quan is inseparable from the Concubine Shu case, which was famous in the government and the public. Since the concubine Shu case was closed, the controversy has never ceased. Some people still think that the Concubine Shu case was planned by Qu Quan. , Killed Concubine Shu.But no matter what, Qu Quan did use this case to uproot the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he really did it.
Such a woman has had many images in Ling Jiang's imagination, but there is no such kind of person in front of her alone.
Her brows and eyes are warm and plump like jade. If she hadn't been wearing a jade hair crown that is farewell to a woman without an official title, she would definitely make people think that she is a real lady from a rich family.Before Ling Jiang could clear his mind, Qu Quan had already brought the teacup prepared by the steward for Ling Xueji from the side, knelt down on both knees under everyone's amazed eyes, and respectfully offered tea to her father-in-law.
Fortunately, Wei Yueyan kowtowed first, so Ling Jiang didn't scare his heart out. He drank the tea from his son-in-law, put a big red envelope on the tray, and couldn't find anything to say for a while.Over there, Ling Xueji hurried over to help Qu Quan, and said while supporting him, "Qu Quan, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
Qu Quan thanked Yue Zhang first, then smiled at Ling Xueji with a good temper, "Present tea, what's there to be scared about."
Ling Xueji said anxiously: "Then I have to kneel and pay respects to the old lady once I go back. Last time, I didn't understand etiquette."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Her husband and wife exchanged a few common words there, but Ling Jiang's heart was overwhelmed, and even the old housekeeper couldn't help but look at Mr. Qu twice more.The bride of the majestic Minister of Criminal Affairs didn't, did, kneel when she offered tea to her husband's parents and elders the next day? !What is this operation?This is a desperate operation!
"Xue Ji, don't be rude." Due to Qu Quan's presence, Ling Jiang had no choice but to be more aggressive towards his own daughter.
Qu Quan's mind is exquisite, and he naturally knows that Ling Jiang is still on guard against him, and it's natural that he has no friendship. Thinking that Ling Jiang would treat herself as his own daughter because of this, it would be best to respect each other.
"I have also prepared a gift for my visit this time, I hope my father-in-law likes it." After speaking, Qu Quan called Jiji to come forward, opened the box and presented it to Ling Jiang.
Qu Quan's official status is much higher than Ling Jiang's. Not only did he not ask Ling Jiang to salute, but he also knelt down to serve tea with extreme sincerity, and this time he even prepared a gift.The turbulent Jiang Hai in Ling Jiang's heart finally calmed down, and he seemed to have come to his senses.
Lying in the box was an ordinary bronze mirror with engraved patterns, one side was transparent, and the other side was engraved with fine, curved and straight lines. Ling Jiang would find it unreasonable when he held it in his hand.It will be at noon, and a beam of sunlight pierces the clouds outside the house and casts a burst of golden light on the ground. Suddenly, Ling Jiang is so blessed that he walks quickly to the threshold, and holds the bronze mirror up to the sun. In the middle of the air, everyone was puzzled, Ling Xueji was so curious that he poked Qu Quan with his elbow, Qu Quan smiled and said nothing, just when Ling Xueji was jumping his feet anxiously, there were exclamations one after another around.
