Chapter 32: The Annunciation
Wu Shaoying also felt that it was a little unreasonable for the news to spread so quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, he once inquired with the monks, and although he could not get a definite and satisfactory answer, he heard of a possible reason: "It seems that the Lan girl left some valuable objects in the temple, and the monks found that when they were cleaning up the ashram, they did not dare to let it go, so they hurriedly reported it to the monk in charge, and then reported it to the abbot." The abbot ordered someone to send things back. The person who delivered the things walked to the gate of the private residence of the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu, and happened to meet the situation where the Lan girl was arrested by the main room. The man didn't know what was going on, or if someone in the house told him the inside story, and he found out. ā
Qin Bai smiled: "Although the private residence of the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu Mansion is a little far away from Longfu Temple, it will not take more than half an hour by car. The monks in the monastery found valuables, reported them to the steward, and then reported them to the abbot, and then someone walked to return the belongings, and they could catch up with the Lan girl who happened to arrive at the door of the house? That Lan girl was also a cautious and cautious person, the carriage was slower, and it was most important to walk steadily. ā
Wu Shaoying heard the meaning of his words, and understood that Na Lanxue must have done it intentionally, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Speaking of which, the monk who was sent to return the objects also often went to various houses and mansions in Su Rili, and he knew the rules, what should not be said, what should not be done, he will not say it, do it." But he went to the private house of the eldest prince of the Liao Palace, and 'happened' to encounter the housework of the dispute between the wives and concubines, and someone even told him the inside story, and after he returned to Longfu Temple, after half a day's work, the news spread to everyone inside and outside the temple. When outsiders heard about it, they couldn't help but blame the monk for talking too much, and they didn't know if he would be punished. ā
Qin Bai also had some sympathy for the monk, and sighed: "But I don't know what that Lan girl wants? Could it be that she specially went out of the mansion to see Guanglu today, or is it a plan to kill two birds with one stone? Will she inform her husband of the news of Guanglu?"
Except for Lan Xue herself, probably no one will know about this kind of thing. Wu Shaoying couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, things must be in an uproar, right? Although the reputation of Mrs. Xiao Wang has been damaged, the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu has intended to use the power of the Wang family to find a place in the court, and for the sake of the Wang family, he may not be able to do anything to the Xiao Wang family." He can even give up his eldest son, and he doesn't seem to care much about the death of his concubine, how much weight can a girl in the room and the concubine child in her womb have? ā
Qin Bai said lightly: "Lan Xue has passed through this matter, whether it is grounded or for the sake of the fetus in the womb, it is estimated that she will not be able to come out again, if she doesn't even have the opportunity to be alone with the eldest prince of the Liao Palace, there is no need to inform the news of Guanglu Beijing." In the future, if the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu knows, he will not blame her. Let's not count on her, it's better to pay close attention to the whereabouts of the eldest prince of the Liao Palace. ā
Wu Shaoying didn't expect this layer yet, and when she heard the words, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly agreed, and said with a wry smile: "This Lan Xue girl is really not a fuel-efficient lamp." She came out like this, and even if she didn't get anything in the end, at least a few thorns were planted in her husband's heart. In the future, if the little Wang lady makes the slightest rash move, the eldest prince of the Liao Wangfu will be a little dissatisfied in his heart. At present, when he needs to borrow the power of the Wang family, he can still tolerate one or two, and when his wish is fulfilled in the future, the Wang family will no longer be useful, and all kinds of things today are ready-made sins. With such a scheming, Miss Lan Xue is also quite good. ā
Qin Bai smiled, there have always been many women in high-ranking families, and there are even more women in the palace who are good at intrigue and trickery, what is Lan Xue's careful thinking? He was noncommittal about the student's evaluation, and only instructed the other party: "You don't have to tell Guanglu about this for the time being." I see that he has a lot of worries all day long, and he is worried at a young age, which is not good for the cultivation of his temperament. Let's wait until there is good news and tell him. ā
Wu Shaoying hurriedly said: "The student also thinks the same, so when I came over, Zhao Xiaogongzi asked me if I had any news of his father, and I also prevaricated with other words." The students will return to the temple tomorrow and pay close attention to the movements in the small courtyard of the monastery in the name of Wen Shu. When Zhao Xiaogongzi's father came over, I will talk to him. If he didn't come, he had to ask his cousin-in-law to come forward. ā
Qin Bai said: "You go to Longfu Temple, although it is just an excuse, but you should also take advantage of the quietness to learn your homework." I'm going to try it next year, and you're going to have to give it a try. In the past, you always said that your literary spirit was not enough, but in the past two years, you have traveled abroad, and you have gained a lot, so you don't have to be too arrogant. Even if you can't get into this course, you just need to accumulate experience. ā
Wu Shaoying hesitated for a moment, thinking that there were plums in the matter of staring, and he didn't have to pay attention to who was coming to Longfu Temple every day, so he agreed, but he was a little unconfident: "The student has no bottom in his heart, and he always feels that he should study for another two years before he ends." ā
Qin Bai waved his hand: "If it drags on for another two years, you should say that it's not time yet, and you have to drag it out again." You young people, who are clearly talented, should rush to the future as soon as possible, and then go to the official position and contribute to the people when your temples have gray hair? Ridiculous! Being in the prime of life is a good time to serve the imperial court! Besides, you say that you have no bottom in your heart, who is not the same? You are not an examiner, can you know when to take the examination to be considered a bottom? There are still more than ten months of hard work, you work hard, write an article every three or five days to show me, and ask a few famous experts to help you give advice, even if you don't get the test today, you can still make great progress. You do as I say, don't be verbose. ā
Wu Shaoying replied in a restrained whisper.
It's just that if he moves to Longfu Temple to live for a long time, then Zhao Mo will be a little lonely at the other end of the guest room. Wu Shaoying said that he would leave two guards to take care of Zhao Mo. Qin Bai thought about it and felt that it would be better for him to bring the guards to Longfu Temple, at least one of them. As for Zhao Mo, he planned to let this child move directly into Qingfeng Pavilion to live. The east chamber is empty now, even if Qin Ping comes back, can't there be two people sleeping in such a big room?
Wu Shaoying said: "Sister Sang is also in this courtyard, isn't it convenient? Although she is only eight years old, there is a difference between men and women......
Qin Bai didn't care: "It's okay, Sister Sang will move to Mingyuewu in a few days." She is not at home, Brother Zi'er is still young, and with Guanglu by her side, your wife and I can be less lonely. ā
Wu Shaoying didn't say anything more, talked to Qin Bai for a while, and then returned to the guest room.
There was nothing to do overnight, and when she got up early the next day, Wu Shaoying packed her luggage, took a guard, and went to Qingfeng Hall to see the teacher Qin Bai in person, officially said goodbye, and told Zhao Mo a lot of words, and went to Longfu Temple. He was expected to stay there for a while.
As soon as he left, Qin Bai asked Uncle Hu and Hu Yong to take a hand and moved Zhao Mo from the guest room to the east wing of Qingfeng Pavilion, so that he could take care of him nearby. When he was done with this matter, he instructed Uncle Hu again: "I want to collect some examination articles for me in recent subjects." It would be even better if there were the Hanlin or the Shiwen of the officials of the Six Ministries who were several permanent examiners in Beijing. Although I taught Wang Fuzhong, it was many years ago. Besides, I was far away in Mizhi back then, and I only saw the scrolls that Wang Fuzhong had written from memory when he returned home after the Wang Fuzhong examination, but I had never seen the articles of other Jinshi, so there were some deficiencies. If I don't read more good articles from recent candidates, I don't dare to say it easily, and I can point to Shaoying. ā
Uncle Hu said with a smile: "The master is too underestimated himself, who reads your article and doesn't praise it? You were only famous in the capital when you were a teenager, not to mention that after a few decades, you have made progress again, and it is naturally better than before." Although Uncle Wu also has talents, he can't compare with you. ā
Qin Bai smiled: "That's too much. When I was younger, I didn't necessarily live up to my name. At that time, I was the son of the Hou Mansion, young and vigorous, a few friends gathered together, occasionally wrote a poem, wrote an essay, and others praised me, more or less depending on my family background. When there is really a big event, who will look up to my little talent? What's more, after several decades, can I still rely on my old roots as a teenager to underestimate the talents of the world? Go and go, don't say such things in front of outsiders, I don't have to make people laugh to death. ā
Uncle Hu walked out of the door with a smile: "If others really dare to laugh at the master, they must surpass you in talent and learning." If he really has such talent, what if he makes a joke about it? I'm afraid that the old man will be happy, but he will not be ashamed, right?"
Qin Bai smiled but said nothing.
It doesn't have to be too much trouble for Uncle Tiger to find such an article. Although the Chengenhou Mansion is a relative, because of the main mother, Mrs. Xu, she has always attached great importance to the imperial examination of her descendants. Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao both passed the imperial examination and won the imperial examination, but after they won the fame of lifting people, they were given official positions by the saints, so they stopped the imperial examination. Now the younger generation of Qin Jian is dedicated to working towards the right path of the imperial examination, so the information of the imperial examination over the years must be indispensable in the outer study. Uncle Hu was originally a servant of the Qin family, and although he had not returned to the capital for thirty years, he also had a few acquaintances. With the names of the three masters of Qin Bai, it is not difficult to borrow some book materials. Within two days, he had the stuff in his hands.
Qin Bai began to study the test questions of the imperial examinations over the years, and from time to time pointed out the homework of Qin Hanzhen, Brother Zi and Zhao Mo, and lived a very fulfilling life. In contrast, Niu's was a little idle, except for talking and chatting with her husband, grandson, granddaughter and Zhao Mo, she didn't have anything to do on weekdays. Mama Tiger is busy every day, and she doesn't have much time to accompany her. If she is at home, she can also take care of the housework, talk to the women of the tenant families in the village, or communicate with the women of the big families in the county. Now in the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital, she is not familiar with the place, she wants to find someone to chat, but she has nowhere to find someone to go.
Fortunately, Bailing always came over to chat with her every day or two, and told her about the new things in the house, so that she was a little less bored. In Bailing's chat, she became more and more familiar with the personnel in the Hou Mansion, and she became more and more fond of the second nephew and daughter-in-law of the long house, Yao, and gradually faded away from Mrs. Xu's little jealousy. But at the same time, her dislike for the second room is slowly increasing. It's really that the mother and son of the second room are too superb, but if any bad things happen in this house, nine times out of ten they make trouble, which makes people have to get bored.
After a few days like this, the Yao family sent Bailing over again. But this time, she didn't come to chat with Niu's family, but to report the good news - the west wing of Mingyuewu was finally cleaned up, and the girl who was to be assigned to Qin Hanzhen's envoy was also fully equipped. Bai Ling brought a checklist booklet to the Niu family, if there was no problem, Qin Hanzhen could prepare to move. (To be continued.) )
