Chapter 259 Rest in Xingdao
The two hundred and fifty-ninth round
When the voice landed, it was difficult to collect it. Li Chengqian was full of grief and indignation at that time, and he was completely unable to predict that he would pay a heavy price for it in the future.
Empress Eldest Sun silently looked at her eldest son, who had made up her mind, and the boulder hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. She drove back to the Taiji Hall and had a careful conversation with Li Shimin about the begging skills of the nobles tonight, which can be regarded as a strong candidate for the crown princess, but the engagement is not in a hurry.
Because Li Chengqian's leg disease is still recovering from a short period of time, the Su family's concubine has not yet reached the end of time. Let the two of them get in touch for a while, and then it is not too late to go through the three books and six rituals thoughtfully.
The emperor's plan is flawless, but people are not as good as heaven. Variables always happen when people least want to see them.
……
At this moment, Qin Ying didn't know anything. She still takes care of Pei Lin seriously every day, feeding medicine, massage, serving and wiping her body almost all, moved Pei Lin to tears, holding Qin Ying's hand and sighing, even if it is her own daughter, she may not be able to do it to such an extent.
Qin Ying smiled politely, and thought in her heart, how could Master Pei compare herself to a lady, could it be that her childlike dress was seen through?
In fact, Pei Lin did not have doubts about her gender. This analogy is just to set off Qin Ying's attitude towards things.
After getting along for ten years, Qin Ying and Pei Lin know each other very well, and they also know each other's past. Pei Lian's legs and feet got rid of soreness and weakness, and he was gradually able to walk around with the help of others.
After dinner in the evening, Qin Ying sat in the courtyard bathing in the last rays of sunlight, holding a clay pot and grinding medicinal herbs, while watching Pei Lian's slightly rickety figure pacing around the wall, and the satisfaction that belonged to the doctor came to his heart.
During her time at Xihuaguan, she had already treated many patients. However, she was responsible for internal and external affairs, and it was inevitable that she could not take care of everyone, and she often couldn't remember the faces of those people when the patients were gone, only their past illnesses.
And Pei Lin can be said to have been in contact with the most patients during her return to Chang'an, and the relationship between doctors and patients is particularly deep.
Just when Qin Ying's mind was lost, Pei Lin had already bent over and sat in front of her, he looked at the gradually darkening sky, and looked back at Qin Ying for a long time and said, "If you don't go back to Chang'an for a long time, don't the Ministry of Rites and the Taoist Temple matter?" ”
Qin Ying poured out the medicinal foam in the clay pot, replaced it with another herb, and said with a smile: "I was originally considered to be a redundant manpower in the Ministry of Rites, and as for the Taoist Temple, there is also a special person to help, so there is no problem for me to return late." ”
He lowered his eyes gloomily and said, "I dragged you to stay in the suburbs of Chang'an, and I was very sorry not to go." Although my legs and feet are not good, I can still walk. Let's get out of here tomorrow early. ”
She frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Yes." "It has been several months since Senior Brother Li Chunfeng submitted a letter to His Majesty, and it has been about three months since Pei Lin got the edict to return to Beijing, and he has not yet arrived in Chang'an, probably because he has encountered a lot of obstacles on the way, he didn't say it explicitly, but Qin Ying can feel it, there are still people who don't want him to face the saint smoothly.
Qin Ying understood Pei Lian's emotions. He waved goodbye to his wife and children, scattered all the servants at home, left the capital and went into exile, after two years finally waited for His Majesty's amnesty, and now stayed in the suburbs of the capital for more than ten years, whenever he looked up, he seemed to be able to see the towering city walls of Chang'an, and the feeling of longing was probably uncontrollable.
So in the evening, Qin Ying instructed the two Taoists to pack up their burdens neatly, and all the living things that should be returned were handed over before the owner went to bed, and they would be on their way early tomorrow morning.
Pei Lian's body is still a little weak these days, Qin Ying treats him as a father, and personally takes care of him everywhere, and the two Taoists can't help but feel a little embarrassed when they see the Lord of the Audience descend their identities to do what they are unwilling to do.
They walked for four days for dozens of miles before arriving at the gate of Chang'an. Pei Lian's hands trembled and he took out the photo slip in his arms, and the moment he lowered his head, he shed a cloudy tear.
Seeing this, Qin Ying sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how sad and joyful it would be when he saw the hairpin lady after entering the palace later.
After entering the city, Qin Ying asked the two Taoists to return to Xihuaguan, and he accompanied Pei Lin to deal with miscellaneous matters.
Pei Lin looked down at his ragged robe, with an embarrassed look on his face.
She saw the clue, so she said that before entering the palace, she should go home first to wash her dust. And as soon as the words came out, she knew that she was speechless. Because Qin Ying didn't seem to hear the hairpin lady mention where the "Pei Mansion" was, maybe Master Pei sold the house two years ago. So she invited him to her house in Xingdao for a while.
Pei Lin was grateful, and muttered that Qin Ying treated him like this to a down-and-out courtier, which really made him unable to repay him.
There are many pedestrians on Suzaku Street, many of whom have been taken care of by Qin Ying, and when they saw her supporting the old man to walk slowly, they all stopped and bowed to Qin Ying, saying that the Lord of Xihua Guan Guan is one of the best benevolent.
In the past, Qin Ying went out to take a car, and he couldn't stand such onlookers and praise, at this time, Qin Ying couldn't hold back his calm expression, and hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover up the flickering panic, but he looked more modest.
They were watched by all the people all the way to the end of Suzaku Street. It was easy to turn into Xingdao, and Qin Yingcai breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Lin looked at Qin Ying and said with a smile: "The name of the Lord of Xihua Guan is not false, and he is so respected and loved. ”
Qin Ying had a bitter face, and said in her heart that if she continued like this, how would she go to the East City and the West Market in the future. The second city, which was open to people in the afternoon, was already crowded, and if she went, it would be a monstrous noise.
They exchanged words and walked to the door of Qin Ying's house. She snapped the knocker of the bronze beast's head, opened the door at the doorman, and saw that it was the head of the house, so she respectfully saluted and took two steps back.
As soon as he entered the front yard, Qin Ying handed a message to the little servant and asked him to find a clean and decent adult man's robe.
Mei Sanniang, who was sitting in the backyard doing needlework, heard the rather messy footsteps in the front yard, and probably knew that Qin Ying was back, and walked out of the hospital to meet her, but saw an old man standing beside Qin Ying. Mei Sanniang just wanted to withdraw the hand she stretched out to Qin Ying, but was grasped by Qin Yingyi.
“…… My lord. Mei Sanniang's hand was held by Qin Ying, and taking it back at this time would cut Qin Ying's face, so she had to call a tactful sentence, trying to make her restrain herself in front of outsiders.
Qin Ying thought that she couldn't see her thoughts, and her fingers didn't let go for a moment, she made a deep appearance and introduced Pei Lin to Mei Sanniang.
When Mei Sanniang was an official prostitute in the past, she went to the official's mansion to go to the banquet and blow the house, and happened to hear about Pei Lian's life, and now she saw a real person, smiling at each other, and personally brought Master Pei into the backyard guest room, and instructed the little maid to boil hot water, and then brought it to the guest room for him to bathe.
Pei Lin was so warmly entertained, and he deeply felt that Qin Ying had found a good wife.
After greeting the guests, Mei Sanniang saw Qin Ying Shi Ran sitting in the hall drinking tea, raised her eyebrows and asked her to take a bath, and she also entered the room to wash and wipe her back for Qin Ying. Qin Ying wanted to say that she could wash it herself, but Mei Sanniang glared back when she didn't say anything.
"I've got a pimple." Mei Sanniang rubbed the top of Qin Ying's hair and looked at her forehead with disgust, wanting to take revenge on Qin Ying for holding her hand in public just now.
"Sleeping in the open." Qin Ying laughed and said.
"I'm so hungry that I don't have a few taels of meat." She used her soap-stained fingers to pinch Qin Ying's faintly pointed chin.
"The lady doesn't want to be hungry and ugly." Qin Ying didn't hide, lying comfortably on her back in the bathtub covered with flower petals, enjoying the blessings of Qi people.
Mei Sanniang picked up the gourd scoop, poured water for Qin Ying, and replied pretending to be dissatisfied: "I went to find a master outside the world, and after I came back, I was so unserious." ”
