Chapter 70: Questioning
Li Bu went out early in the morning, and this time he didn't bring his loyal servant Li Wei. Maybe it's something inconsequential, or maybe there's something in the house that Li Wei needs to deal with personally. This situation is not uncommon.
Jing knew that this was a good opportunity, so he found an excuse to let Li Wei come over.
When Li Wei knelt down in front of Jing, Jingshi was in a trance. Li Bu and Li Wei were able to grow up healthily, and she was lucky.
When you want to ask someone something, you can ask a straight question, of course, you can also follow the path, that is, the next set, or directly have the other thing to get the news. The ministry more or less knows about helping his subordinates marry their relatives.
Therefore, Jing's decided to ask Li Wei directly, there is no need to beat around the bush, and there is something wrong in the province.
"This time, we came back from Yingdu for one thing, do you know?" asked Jing in a flat tone.
Li Wei didn't expect his wife to ask so directly, and he was caught off guard. Anyway, he is also the manager, and he quickly calmed down, and the look of his wife made him sloppy.
"The son has reached the crown, and it is time to start a family next. Li Wei replied respectfully.
Jing nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "You follow Childe more on weekdays, do you know if Childe has a sweetheart?" Jing stared at Li Wei's expression.
Li Wei listened to his wife's sharp words, fortunately, his son-in-law was clean and self-loving, and there was nothing unusual, "I am by my son's side on weekdays, and I have never seen my son-in-law and that female dependent-in-law approaching." ”
Jing knocked on the desk, and the sound of "tuk tuk tuk" was like a talisman, and Li Wei was very nervous. That's Jing's Jiwei, and this also has a background.
Once upon a time in Yingdu, when Li Wei was a child, he saw Jing's dealing with subordinates with unclean hands and feet. That subordinate is also the son of the Li family, and he was disrespectful to his wife, and he also stole things in the house and sold them, and caught a ready-made one for his wife. Under the sound of the lady's hand knocking on the case, the man was dealt with as follows: because of his disrespectful mouth, he pulled out his tongue. His hands and feet were not clean, so he picked his hands and feet, and finally became a wasted person. Originally, he was going to be expelled from the Li Mansion after pulling out his tongue and picking his hands and feet, but he didn't survive the execution and died. A straw mat, on a mass grave, is his final destination.
That was what happened when Madame first entered the mansion, and neither the government nor the general said that Madame was not. Li Weiwei thought of this, and said: "On weekdays, even if the daughters of the Gao family show favor to their sons, they all treat people with courtesy, and they are all indifferent. Li Wei glanced up at his wife, and then hung down again.
Jing said: "Today's matter is over, if the son asks, you should know how to answer." ”
Li Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, I will follow the teachings of my wife." ”
After Li Wei left, Jing's face was worried. Su Gu comforted: "Madam, this eldest prince has no sweetheart, isn't it more convenient for you to choose a daughter-in-law?
Jing sighed and said, "I hope he has a sweetheart." "Which girl is not pregnant with spring, which teenager is not in love. The ministry is so heartbroken, making it difficult for him.
Su Gu smiled, "We have only been in Beijing for a few days now, and there are some things that we can't hurry." Marriage is naturally a long-term consideration. Madam, you know the temperament of the eldest prince, and you can't come in a hurry. ”
Jing smiled bitterly, "I just want the ministry to live well, I don't care about the family, if the ministry has a sweetheart, no matter who it is, I will find a way to help him marry him." "It's a kind of compensation and guilt, and the mercy ministry has left him a little bit, and he is a stranger in a foreign land.
Su Gu knew, and didn't say anything more.
On this day, Jing locked himself in his room.
On the other hand, Li Ying is not very good, compared to Jing's low mood, Li Ying is boring. In Jingshi, Li Ying was very bored. Her mother didn't supervise her homework, and she was very happy. What's more, there is no new master, so she practices a few big characters every day, follows the needle Yu to learn the sword, and reads miscellaneous books to pass the time.
Just returned to Beijing, the Jing family should have walked around, but now except for the palace and the Great Li Mansion, Li Yingna has not gone. The Song family has no daughter, and Li Ying can't play with the Song family. The heirs of the Li family withered, most of the good men were folded on the battlefield, and there were even fewer girls.
Li Ying is so bored now, she regretted it all over the place in a few days, because the news of Jing's entry into the palace spread throughout the entire noble circle in a few days. The queen's mother's family, the brother and daughter-in-law of the humerus minister Li Qing, returned to Beijing, and many people of interest came to visit. The queen was not favored before, but she had two good sons.
Cuixiang looked at Miss's boring appearance and quipped: "Miss, you really have been stuffed like this." "The whole person is listless, and he can't do anything. "I see, I have to hurry up and ask Madame to hire a teacher, and the young lady is very energetic. ”
When Li Ying heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't, Cuixiang, this bad idea of yours, I won't have your good fruit to eat in the future." ”
Cui Xiang hurriedly said witticisms such as small don't dare, and finally amused Li Ying's emotions.
Li Ying just wanted to go out, and when he entered the palace that day, he just looked at the Jiaofang Hall of the Royal Palace, and he didn't have a chance to see Changle Palace, Lantai, Weiyang Palace, and Taiye Pool. There are also markets, she hasn't seen the east and west markets yet, and when she thinks of the palace walls, Li Ying's heart itches.
"I remember when we first entered the mansion, did the eldest prince call the maid and the wife to take care of the affairs?" Li Ying suddenly asked.
Cuixiang looked at the master with great interest, and said: "There are so many people, ten maids, six mothers-in-law, and a steward, who is specifically in charge of our tea garden, and we all call her to take care of the rest." On weekdays, we don't care if we want anything. ”
"Okay, let her come, I have something I want to ask her. Li Ying commanded. Steward Yu, Li Ying has the impression that when she first entered the mansion, she was a quick woman. The impression is not bad, the big basin, some fat figures, a woman in her early thirties.
After a while, Steward Yu stood in front of Li Ying and replied.
"Steward Yu, how long have you been in the Li Mansion?" Li Ying asked casually.
Steward Yu muttered in his heart, I don't know if there are some places that have been inconsiderate in recent days that make the young lady dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but reply with twelve points of spirit, "The slave family has been in the house since he was seven years old, and it has been twenty-five years now. The answer was one-eyed, looking at Miss Li Ying's face, which was six points similar to the eldest prince Li Bu. As soon as she remembered the eldest prince's explanation, she had to take care of the young lady's life, and in the future, she would have to be more cautious.
"Then you should be very familiar with the Li Mansion and the capital, right?" Li Ying asked tentatively. Steward Yu has been in Beijing for many years and must be familiar with it.
