Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 29: Changping Jun chooses a husband for his daughter and leaves

Mi Lian brought in some food and looked at Changping Jun who was still busy. She couldn't help but said with concern:

"Dad, eat something and rest first!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Lian'er."

Changping Jun couldn't refuse his beloved daughter's request, so he took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Just looking at his daughter who had grown into a graceful young lady, Changping Jun recalled his observations over the past few days and could not help but say:
"It seems like it's time for my Lian'er to get married."

Mi Lian blushed upon hearing this and said coquettishly:
"Dad, just eat. Why are you saying this?"

But her father's words made Mi Lian think of Jiang Yu, and her pretty face became even more rosy.

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. How can you say that it's not allowed? Let Dad think about it. Which young talent is worthy of my Lian'er?"

As Changping Jun said this, he actually put down his chopsticks and started thinking seriously.

When Mi Lian saw that her father was serious, she suddenly became uneasy, because she didn't know whether her favorite brother Jiang Yu could be on her father's list of candidates for son-in-law.

"Hey, I have it!"

Changping Jun locked onto a target:
"Daughter, what do you think of your uncle's disciple Li Xin?"

"No, Lian'er doesn't want to marry him!"

Mi Lian, who already had someone in her heart, refused without a second thought.

"What about Meng Tian or Meng Yi from the Meng family? Dad thinks they're pretty good too."

Changping Jun listed two more people, and needless to say, Mi Lian gave another straightforward and firm answer:

"dislike!"

Then Changping Jun listed some young talents from Qin State and even from Chu State.

Mi Lian's answer was naturally the same as always, just two words.

"Don't marry!"

At the same time, Mi Lian was gradually becoming distressed.

Sure enough, his previous worries were right. Brother Jiang Yu was just an ordinary ranger. Even if he saved his life, his father would not look down on him. This was a problem!
Do I have to let Brother Jiang Yu take me away to the ends of the earth?

Well, it doesn’t seem possible!
But would Brother Jiang Yu be willing?

For a moment, Mi Lian was in a state of confusion!

At this time, Changping Jun also mentioned another person:

"So how is Young Master Jiang in our family now?"

Mi Lian, who had been rejected so many times and was in a trance due to her confusion, blurted out reflexively:

"Don't marry!"

"real or fake?"

Changping Jun's expression suddenly became exaggerated:

"Your brother Jiang Yu doesn't want to get married? Seeing you sticking to your brother Jiang Yu all day long, I thought you liked your brother Jiang Yu. It turns out that I was just being sentimental."

Especially the six words "your brother Jiang Yu", Changping Jun specifically used emphasis.

Mi Lian had been practically glued to Jiang Yu these days, and Changping Jun wasn't blind, so how could he not know? Otherwise, would he have asked Jiang Yu to call him uncle?

However, Mi Lian's worries were not entirely unreasonable. If Jiang Yu was just an ordinary knight, it would certainly be difficult for him to marry the daughter of Lord Changping.

But the problem is that Jiang Yu is not!
Jiang Yu's talent has long been recognized by Changping Jun. As long as he has his support behind him, Jiang Yu will surely rise to prominence in Qin, so there is no need to worry about his status.

With the added bonus of being the "descendant of Grandfather", and Jiang Yu's family situation where he could feed the whole family, he had already become the only choice for son-in-law in the mind of Changping Jun, who had no children.

Otherwise, even if it is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the distinction between men and women is far less serious than in the Song and Ming Dynasties. A father would not be able to watch his unmarried daughter sticking to a man all day long.

"father!"

Mi Lian came back to her senses and looked at the playful look in her father's eyes. She knew that she had been fooled.

"You're evil!"

"Hahaha!" Changping Junle laughed loudly, and immediately received a good beating from Mi Lian.

"No, no, the food is going to spill!"

"Hmph, just spill it, and let Daddy play tricks on me!"

……

After the father and daughter played for a while!
Changping Jun finally confirmed with Mi Lian:
"Then Daddy will ask Xiaoyu for marriage next time!"

"It's all up to Daddy!"

For a shy girl, the words "It's all up to Daddy" with a blushing face are the best "I do".

At this time, the servant came to report!
"Your Majesty, Young Master Jiang is here!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Lian felt even more shy.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Changping Jun smiled happily and pointed at the screen behind him:

"Lian'er, hide first!"

"it is good!"

Mi Lian quickly hid behind the screen.

Jiang Yu then walked in.

"Xiaoyu, is there something wrong?"

Changping Jun first asked Jiang Yu why he came.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu is here to say goodbye to you!"

Jiang Yu's answer made Changping Jun and Mi Lian behind him stunned for a moment.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly? Is it because your uncle didn't treat you well enough?"

Changping Jun hurriedly asked, how could the son-in-law, who was right at your fingertips, fly away just like that?
"Because of the Prime Minister and Luowang!"

Jing Niu, who had deliberately avoided the sight of the servants, came in and explained to Changping Jun:
"The Prime Minister has issued a death order against him because he is a spy for the State of Wei. If he doesn't leave now, his life will be in danger."

"Spy? Impossible!"

Mi Lian, who was behind the screen, could no longer hold back and rushed out to defend Jiang Yu:

"Brother Jiang Yu can't possibly be a spy for the Wei Kingdom. Dad, you have to believe in Brother Jiang Yu."

There was no need for Mi Lian to tell him. With Changping Jun's intelligence, he could figure out the real reason with just a little thought.

The Cheng Jiao faction is gone, and the only enemy left is the Chu faction. In addition, they have been too close to the king recently, so Lu Buwei must be unable to sit still and wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, just to give the Chu faction a warning.

"It's just too much!"

Changping Jun slammed the table and said angrily:

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to leave. Just stay at my house. I want to see who dares to come to my house to arrest people."

"Mr. Changping has forgotten? Luowang is a group of lawless people."

Jingwei himself is from Luowang, so he naturally knows this.

Now, Lu Buwei, under the order of the court, has labeled Jiang Yu a spy, and he is in the right.

If Changping Jun doesn't want to be reasonable, that's easy to deal with. Facing the equally unreasonable Luowang, can you, Changping Jun, resist it?
Jingwei obviously didn't believe Changping Jun, who had already messed up once, and she didn't want to gamble with Jiang Yu's safety again.

Jiang Yu persuaded Changping Jun in this way:
"Uncle, Huan Xi's defeat is imminent. It would be unwise to fight Lü Buwei head-on at this time.

On the contrary, if I leave and Lü Buwei can't find my men, it will become a false accusation against you, uncle. You can use this to counterattack, and combined with Huan Xi's subsequent defeat, it can not only reverse the situation where the Chu faction is weaker than the Xiangguo faction, but at least make the Chu faction equal to the Xiangguo faction. There is no problem. "

Changping Jun, who had calmed down, naturally understood that what Jiang Yu said was the best option, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, let's do as Xiaoyu says."
