Chapter Eighty-Three: A Special Day
An Shicheng complained and complained, and it was reasonable, he still had to clean up this mess for her, so he put on a straight face and ordered Changqing to say: "You hurry to the city, don't sell those clothes and hairpins, and buy them all." β
When Changqing heard this, he said tentatively: "The two of his brother and sister have several boxes of clothes, and they are dead, and they will cost a lot of silver, so they have to be redeemed?
Changzhu secretly gave Changqing a thumbs up, and stretched out his ears to see his grandfather's reaction.
An Shicheng was annoyed, flicked his sleeves, and said: "Who are you and me? What do I want his young lady's clothes for, I am for the reputation of the Qiu family, and his family is the savior of our family, so naturally they are all redeemed." β
Changqing and the others watched An Shicheng leave angrily, and the two covered their mouths and snickered and went to receive the silver to redeem them.
That night, Changqing quietly carried the cage into Qiufeng Villa, and locked it in the small warehouse in An Shicheng's courtyard according to An Shicheng's instructions.
At that time, Qiu Ruyi was under the candlelight, counting the silver of the white flowers with a painful heart, and sighed to Qiu Ruhai while rubbing the silver: "It's hard to be a good person, I will never do this thing of throwing money to save people in the future, and if I do it again, I can only be a beggar." β
Qiu Ruhai snorted: "Now that I know that I am distressed, you can still get a thank you from Miss Fang, but I have nothing to gain." Now that I have been affected by you, I have no money, and even Qiu Ping can't stand it, so if you want to borrow my silver, how can I take this silver? I was too ashamed to look up when I thought about it. β
Qiu Ruyi hurriedly smiled: "My brother is a good person, he will be blessed in the future, maybe he will be rich and prosperous in the future." β
Qiu Ruhai sneered: "The Fang family's mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, I don't expect to gain glory because of his family, just don't bother me." β
Qiu Ruyi just sneered, and watched Qiu Ruhai stand up pitifully, and took all the silver and handed it to Qiu Rucheng.
Within two days, Qiu Rucheng redeemed people, thanked each other again, and handed Qiu Ruyi a contract. "This is a pharmacy that I opened in the south two years ago. Originally, I wanted to sell it to make money, but it was difficult to make a move in a hurry, but now I have your help and solved my urgent need. I won't be able to pay back your money for a while. I don't have the heart to run it. I will simply give it to you and Ruhai, and express my heart a little. β
Qiu Ruyi couldn't refuse, so he had to hand it over to his brother to accept. Then he asked, "The people have been redeemed, I don't know how Brother Cheng will place their sisters?"
Qiu Rucheng said: "The sisters of the Fang family have long made up their minds to go to their parents in the frontier, I contacted the dart bureau earlier, and I followed the dart bureau directly after leaving Jicuifang. You just have to rest assured, those dart masters can be trusted, and they will bring a message of peace when they get there, but I guess that's the end of the year. β
Qiu Ruyi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and sighed: "I will never see you again in the future, thinking about Zhang Luo for most of the time, there is a kind of being in a dream." Thinking about today, the sun is shining. β
Qiu Rucheng also sighed lightly, I hope that Miss Fang will have a smooth life in the future, otherwise it will be a debt owed by her family.
Coincidentally, Qiu Ruolan was looking at the gloomy weather outside at this time, and finally sighed for a long time, and ordered the girl to burn incense and put flowers and fruits on the table.
The girls only thought that she was full of poetry and wanted to write poems by the window, and they were busy preparing.
Today is a special day.
Qiu Ruolan silently picked up a stick of incense and lit it, watching the rising green mist mingle with the gloomy air outside, she guessed in her heart: At this moment, Fang Yun is afraid that the incense has died.
Poor Fang Ying, Fang Yun is dead, and there is no protection of her own, what should she do in the future, will she sink into the fireworks alley?
Qiu Ruolan remembered the sisterhood with Fang Ying for most of the previous life, and sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't know who Fang Yun had listened to, and she actually believed that as long as she died, her sister Fang Ying would be rescued from the fire kang, it was really stupid and naΓ―ve.
In a lifetime, the most reliable person is only himself, even his parents and relatives cannot be trusted.
Qiu Ruolan sighed, her apricot eyes closed slightly, and secretly prayed in her heart: May God bless Fang Ying with a smooth life in this life.
The weather in Shunyang City was gloomy, but it was dripping with light rain in the capital, An Shikun was covered with a white robe, and closed his eyes slightly to listen to Li Quan's information in Shunyang City.
After Li Quan finished speaking, he waited for a long time, and there was only the crisp sound of raindrops dripping on the white jade in front of the hall, and he couldn't help but look up carefully.
At this time, An Shikun opened his eyes and looked at him, so frightened that Li Quanbu lowered his head again.
"Xuan Xu Taifu and Imperial Doctor Luo come over. β
Xu Taifu is An Shikun's teacher and An Shikun's confidant.
Imperial Doctor Luo was the miracle doctor that Empress Dowager Liu was looking for in the people in her early years, and she won the trust of An Shikun and became a confidant for a while.
The two old ministers came in the rain, and Li Quan hurriedly took the two of them to the side hall for a while, which led them to the main hall.
Mrs. Xu secretly gestured to Mrs. Luo with his eyes, Mrs. Luo smiled bitterly, and Mrs. Xu's heart suddenly became more and more heavy.
An Shikun leaned on the dragon couch, Imperial Physician Luo hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and diagnose the pulse, without waiting for Imperial Physician Luo to speak, An Shikun gave him to sit down, and said to Taifu Xu: "What I said to Taifu last time, Taifu still remember?"
Mrs. Xu's heart was heavy, and he said: "The emperor is the true son of the dragon, and he has always been benevolent and filial, and he will be able to enjoy peace for thousands of years." β
An Shikun chuckled: "It turns out that Taifu will also make such flattering words." I don't dare to think about it for thousands of years, I just hope that God can give me a few more years to live, and this qiΔ depends on the brilliant medical skills of Imperial Doctor Luo. β
Imperial Physician Luo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Please don't have such negative thoughts about the emperor, as long as the emperor meditates and cultivates, don't think too much, and his body will definitely improve." β
An Shikun sighed: "You all get up, my body, not only is it clear to Imperial Doctor Luo, but also in my heart, even if I don't want to do anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live for a few years." But since I am the emperor of this great Chu Dynasty, I have to take on the responsibility of being the Son of Heaven and the filial piety of being the Son of Man, so I still have some energy to arrange the aftermath as soon as possible. β
Xu Taifu looked at this young emperor who he had taught single-handedly, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, at such a young age, he was so smart and wise, he should have been the blessing of the people of the world, but his body was destroyed in the struggle of the emperor's inner palace, how could it not be regretted!
Xu Taifu gathered his mind and asked, "I don't know which clan disciple the emperor wants?"
An Shikun shouted, "Li Quan." β
Li Quan hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the information in his hand to Mrs. Xu.
After Xu Taifu took a closer look, his brows furrowed, and he said: "When the emperor took the examination for An Shicheng, the ministers could see that his reading talent was not high, and he read dead books, he was pedantic, and he had no talent in his body, how could such a person be the king of a country? Why did the emperor repeatedly favor him?"
An Shikun sighed: "Taifu values the monarch's ability to govern the world, but I value his character more than not. I believe that as long as he is not too stupid and has the assistance of many people, he can always let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, but I can't help but consider whether he can treat the Queen Mother and the Liu family well in the future. β
The topic of relatives is too sensitive, Mrs. Xu didn't dare to speak casually, he was silent for a while, and Fang said: "The emperor is filial piety, and now he has seen that there are children of the clan who want to be unfavorable to the queen mother, and the minister can understand your worries, but just based on An Shicheng's children's affairs, the emperor will take advantage of him, is it a little too arbitrary?"
An Shikun smiled: "I know the subtleties. Although I don't know what happened to the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Qiu family, I can guess that the two families must have proposed a marriage contract back then, but the Lu Guogong Mansion was noble, so he didn't want to recognize this family business. β
Xu Taifu said: "Maybe he likes the beauty of the Qiu family's daughter, so he refuses to be disappointed." β
An Shikun shook his head and said: "An Shicheng was only seven or eight years old back then, and the daughter of the Qiu family was only three or two years old. It is because of this factor that the reputation of the Qiu family is not good now, and An Shicheng still does not change his original intention, such a person happens to be the person I can trust with confidence. β
Although the emperor is extremely intelligent, he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the end, and he may not be able to see some things seriously.
Xu Taifu bowed his head and said: "Emperor Shengming, it's just that the matter is big, please let Rong Chen visit carefully." β
An Shikun also knew that things couldn't be radical, and when he said these words, he was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help sighing: "Just Taifu, but this matter shouldn't be delayed too late, you go down." β
Xu Taifu withdrew from the palace gate and asked Imperial Doctor Luo in a low voice: "The pulse of the emperor is ......?"
Imperial Physician Luo also said in a low voice: "As before. β
Mrs. Xu looked at the raindrops beating on the ground and sighed heavily.
The autumn rain is veined, cloudy and sunny.
Shunyang City was gloomy for a day, and finally in the evening, it raindropped, and everyone on the street took shelter from the rain.
Not long after, someone from the gate entered Ermenxi and reported: "The second lady and Miss Yujuan have returned home." β
Mrs. Qiu, who was chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha, had a Buddha bead in her hand, and her heart finally settled down, her family had already lost a Qiu Yuqing, and Qiu Yujuan could no longer have an accident here.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiu recited the Buddha in her mouth, and instructed the girl: "Tell the second lady: don't rush to come over to say goodbye, it's tiring all the way, and it's raining, and your body is tight, let the kitchen fry ginger soup and send it, and it's not too late to come over when the rain subsides."
