Chapter 200 End Paragraph

When Qin Mian and Lei Tia heard Lei Ruilin coming up with an idea to teach Chen Bo Dong a lesson, they were advised by Qin Ruiqi to not lower himself to the point of making him lose face.

The snow was still falling, and the snowflakes were like dandelions falling continuously, disappearing without a trace as they approached the fire.

"Wife, hungry?" Lei Tia raised his hand to wipe the snowflakes on his wife's eyelashes.

"A little."

Lei Tia looked at the four roasted chickens, tore off a roasted chicken leg and gave it to him.

Qin Mian placed the chicken leg next to his mouth for him to take a bite before he started to eat it. If only I could have a drink. "

His original plan had been for the family of four to find someone to hunt on a snowy day, then hunt for prey and deal with them together. Drinking wine and eating barbecue, such as roast meat, mushrooms, potatoes, fish, etc., would definitely be interesting. He never thought that his plan would be disrupted by the Emperor Xiao Hui and that there would be so many people around, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Lei Tia completely understood his wife's regret and comforted her, "There will be a chance in the future."

"Yes." Qin Mian chewed the chicken leg clean. His man's cooking skills were really good, the bones and meat were easily separated.

"Father." Seeing that his father had already started to eat, Lei Ruilin walked over eagerly.

Lei Tia tore two more chicken legs off and gave them to his two sons.

Eunuch Lee came out of Emperor Xiao Hui's tent with a tray in his hand. On the tray were four bowls of piping hot soup, looked around, saw Qin Mian and his family, and walked over with a smile.

"National Duke, Madam National Duke, Crown Prince, and Duke Anping have all come to deliver the soup to you. This was the thick soup that the imperial chef had just made. It was still warm. Your Majesty, please forgive me for my gratitude. "

Lei Tia cupped his fists towards the Emperor Xiao Hui's tent and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Mian caught the tray.

Lei Ruilin smiled as he tore off a chicken drumstick and passed it to Eunuch Lee, "Eunuch Lee, let me treat you to eat. What daddy roasted, is really delicious. "

Eunuch Lee beamed as he accepted it, "Ah, thank you so much Duke An Ping!"

Qin Mian tasted the soup. It was filled with meat and was indeed delicious, but it was also nutritious, so he let Lei Tia and his two sons finish the soup.

Although they deliberately hid in a corner, it still attracted the attention of many ministers. The word "envious" alone was not enough to describe their feelings.

"That's what it really is."

An old official sighed with emotion, causing many people beside him to chime in.

On the third day of hunting, Qin Mian and his family of four enjoyed themselves greatly. Just as they had said, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin shared a portion of the prey with the Emperor Xiao Hui, causing him to laugh heartily.

Many ministers did not understand how Emperor Xiao Hui liked this pair of twins. In terms of appearance, there were many cute brats who were smarter than Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin. Or could it be that the reason the Emperor Xiao Hui likes to get close to these two children is only to win over the? However, he didn't know that the matter wasn't that complicated. The Emperor Xiao Hui only liked and Lei Ruilin to get along with him as if he was an ordinary "uncle". Only in front of these two children, could he be as relaxed as an ordinary person.

After returning from the hunting grounds, Qin Mian began to busy himself with preparations for the New Year. Although there were servants in the house, there were still some new year goods that had to be prepared personally. Only during the new year would there be a new year flavor. For example, they could make all kinds of snacks for their families to eat.

On the morning of the 29th of the Moon, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee arrived at the capital.

Lei Xiangzhi sent someone to notify everyone at National Duke's Mansion.

Qin Mian and his family cleaned up a bit, and rode the carriage to Lei Xiangzhi's residence.

Lei Xiangyi's family included Lei Xiangyi, Madam Qian, his daughter Lei Xinxin, his son Niu Niu, Lei Xianglee's family included Lei Xianglee, Sun family, and his son Brick. There were a total of seven people, adding the luggage, there were three carriages in total. When Qin Mian and his family arrived, they had already cleaned up the mess and the Precinct Head was bustling with noise and excitement.

Lei Xiangzhi and the Madam Wei were on guard against Lei Daqiang from saying more stupid things.

It was unknown if Lei Daqiang was enlightened or if he had other plans, but the way he treated Qin Mian and his family was surprisingly normal ?? ?? He was neither cold nor friendly.

Qin Mian heaved a sigh of relief.

They had eaten lunch at Lei Xiangzhi's place, and did not cause any unhappiness.

After lunch, Qin Mian's family sat for a while before leaving.

In a blink of an eye, it was the new year. Qin Mian's family was as lively as ever. Qin Mian had a lot of weird ideas, the family's entertainment show was very rich, and they were happy.

On the first day of the new year, the civil and military ministers and Imperial Orders's wives entered the palace to pay their respects. Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin received many good gifts.

Starting from the third day of the new year, people came to visit relatives and friends to celebrate the new year.

On the third day of the new year, the three Lei Xiangyi brothers paid respects to in Qin Mian Family. Qin Mian generously gave five taels of silver to all the juniors and sealed them with a red seal of twenty taels of silver. It could also be considered as compensation for not being able to entertain and play with the Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee families in the capital city.

On the fourth day of the new year, Qin Mian and Lei Tia went to Lei Xiangzhi's house as guests. Worried that they might cause trouble, the two of them did not bring Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin along.

What happened afterwards made Qin Mian admire his foresight.

As expected, Lei Daqiang was not obedient. When Lei Tia and Qin Mian came back from the battlefield, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin had both gotten their titles, and their ranks and positions were even higher than Lei Xiangzhi's, wouldn't Lei Daqiang feel uncomfortable?

Originally, everyone was eating, drinking, chatting and the atmosphere was quite cheerful as they sat around the table. Suddenly, Lei Daqiang opened his mouth and asked Lei Tia to walk with him, in order to raise his level. It was not difficult for Qin Mian to achieve this with his status, but how could Lei Xiangzhi endure Lei Daqiang's words? It was just like how Lei Xiangzhi would not be able to level up if he did not try to find a relationship with his. But the truth was, Lei Xiangzhi was a real person. Furthermore, even if Lei Tia and Qin Mian did not take the initiative to find a relationship for Lei Xiangzhi, the other officials would definitely give him less of a chance because he was the younger brother of the National Duke.

The moment Lei Daqiang said these words, Lei Xiangzhi's face instantly turned pale white. Fury, shame, shame, and anger mixed together into a complicated expression in his eyes, which he hid rationally in the end.

In his memories, this was the first time Qin Mian saw him with such an ugly expression. It could be seen that this refined and refined young man was indeed not lightly angered.

In order to avoid any awkwardness, and to avoid being affected, Qin Mian hurriedly found an excuse to drag Lei Tia and run.

Lei Ruilin who was sparring with his brother on the training grounds asked Qin Mian out of curiosity, "Daddy, what are you doing? Why are you so sneaky? "

"Lei Ruilin, why are you talking to your father?" Lei Tia's face stiffened.

Lei Ruilin quickly restrained his expression and cupped his fists. He asked again in all seriousness, "Father, may I ask what you're doing? Why does it feel like escaping? "

Qin Mian lifted his hand and smashed his head, "Brat! Your dad likes to walk like that, is that not okay? "

Lei Ruilin pitifully covered his forehead, "Sure ?? ??"

"..."

On the fifth day, Qin Wen paid a visit to the National Duke's Mansion and told Qin Mian and Lei Tia about the matter of Qin Mian's disappearance and the consequences of Qin Ji. In order to give Qin Mian an explanation, Qin Wencai wrote his name on the family tree and chased him out of Qin Family.

When Qin Wencai brought up the matter of letting Qin Mian recognize his ancestors, Qin Mian tactfully rejected it. He did not know what Qin Wencai was thinking, but he actually did not insist, and only said that as long as he was happy, he would be fine.

Qin Mian asked Lei Tia what they had talked about.

Lei Tia did not hide anything, and simply apologized to Qin Mian, and told him some things about Qin Mian before he turned twelve and warned him that if it was not good for him, his Qin Family would take Qin Mian away.

Seeing that Qin Wencai truly loved his direct son, Qin Mian felt even more that not recognizing them was the right decision. At most, he and Lei Tia would help them out in the future when there were difficulties with the Qin Family.

On the sixth day of the first month, the Emperor wrote a note to restore the Emperor's position. First, he dealt with the First Prince, Chen Chuang.

When the matter with the First Prince involved the face of the royal family, he had only said that the First Prince had committed the crime of conspiring against another country and had not mentioned the fact that he had betrayed the country. In the end, Chen Chuang was confined within the First Prince's residence and could only live under surveillance day and night. Furthermore, he could not leave the manor for the rest of his life.

The second major event was the discussion between the monarch and subject on how to obtain the greatest benefit from the negotiations with the Turow Country. At the latest, in April, when spring turns to ice, Turow Country will send messengers to Grand Xia.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia had already made up their minds to resign after the negotiations with the Turow Country had come to an end. Although, this might be very difficult.

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee spent the Lantern Festival in the capital before returning home. Qin Mian had prepared four carts full of special products for them. Other than these, he was giving them to the villagers who had a good relationship with his family.

Unexpectedly, Lei Daqiang and Madam Wei had also returned to the Qingshan Village with them.

Qin Mian was extremely surprised, only then did he find out that Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Daqiang had gotten into an argument, and had completely gotten into a fight. Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Daqiang clearly stated that if he was willing to stay in the Qingshan Village obediently, he would be given a hundred silver coins per year for his retirement. could still continue staying in the capital if he wanted, but he would only be paid two silver coins a month in the future.

Lei Daqiang didn't want to choose either path, so Lei Xiangzhi set up a trap for Lei Daqiang and made a mistake.

Only then did Lei Daqiang understand that he had disheartened his youngest son, and with Madam Wei beside him persuading him, he could only choose the first choice.

Madam Wei was now extremely regretful about marrying Lei Daqiang. Lei Daqiang was tasty and lazy to cook them, but the problem was that he was too dumb, pushing his two most promising sons further and further away. If Lei Daqiang knew that he could win over his two sons, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

In Qin Mian's words, he was not afraid of godlike opponents, but rather he was afraid of pig-like teammates.

and his group had not even left for three days yet they had returned in a sorry state. Since it was impossible for Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee to do so, they could only send him, Madam Wei and the two children of the Madam Wei back.

Lei Xiangzhi called for a famous doctor to treat Lei Daqiang and found out that Lei Daqiang was really stupid. The chances of him recovering in the future was only 50%. Lei Xiangzhi was unable to convince himself that he did not feel relieved at that moment. He had spent four years in the capital, and he was more tired than he was after ten years of studying. Now, he felt free to do whatever he wanted.

being silly was the best result for her. As long as she could maintain his relationship with Lei Xiangzhi, and find a chance to repair his relationship with his family in the future, her future prospects for her son and daughter wouldn't be bad.

From then on, Lei Daqiang could only live his life like a big baby, and could not obstruct anyone anymore.

Qin Mian did not sympathize with him in the slightest, and only lamented "As expected, it is a thousand years from disaster".
