Chapter 367: New Year's Moon
Even in modern times, even if the child is a little naughty, the parents of the New Year will not reprimand him sharply, in ancient times, at this time, these family magnates would not move the family law at will. It's not that there is no punishment, the general trivial things are naturally trivial, if you have to be punished, you should close it for a few days, and then you should move the family law and the medicine that should be irrigated.
Therefore, Lin Yu was very surprised when he heard that Qingqing's fourth brother was beaten last night, there are many contacts in the New Year, and it doesn't sound good to hear it, right?
Qingqing was actually a little surprised, but he vaguely heard some rumors, and felt that he deserved it, so he explained to Lin Yu, "It's not the family law that moves, it's my father who beat him up badly." ”
"The automatic hand of the righteous father?" Lin Yu was even more surprised, King Qi has always been an elegant literati to the outside world, doesn't he uphold the gentleman's words and not his hands?
"This, I don't complain about my father's anger." Qingqing said vaguely, "Last night, my father asked the fourth brother to kneel in the ancestral hall in the backyard at the beginning, that is, in front of the spirit tablets of Mrs. Xianxu and King Zhemin, who knew that when the father of Lu Dao passed, not only did he not kneel, but he was still looking at some bad things. ”
Qingqing's face was a little red and vague, but Lin Yu understood it all of a sudden, probably reading a spring palace painting or a erotic novel, most likely a spring palace painting, because erotic novels can still cover up a little. However, this is really a talent, it's that time, I don't think about my future, and I still have the heart to look at the Spring Palace paintings.
"Didn't I hear that the fourth brother is still quite capable?" Lin Yu thought back to the rumors he had heard about the fourth king of Qi before, and it was said that he still had some skills. But it does seem to be a bit of a heart.
Qingqing took a sip of tea and said, "Who knows if Lu Dao is true or fake, or you go and ask Sister Su Su." She is about clear. But looking at his actions, I'm afraid that his shrewdness is limited, and I heard that the scene at that time was a bit unsightly. ”
Lin Yu was also quite speechless about this, "It's good to ask Sister Su Su when the future passes, in fact, with his current situation, it doesn't matter if he asks or not." The anger of the father-in-law is not so easy to dissipate. ”
Although King Qi never forgot Qingqing's biological mother, Mrs. Wen, he did not have any feelings for the original wife and sister-in-law who were killed in the rebellion of King Linchuan. He has not married for so many years, and it cannot be said that there is no reason for this.
This also made him hate the act of hooking up with the woman in the Qinglou. So this time, after his fourth son and Na Su Ling'er had a head and tail, he asked the fourth child to kneel in the ancestral hall to worship Mrs. Xu and the concubine who was posthumously named the king of Minjun, in order to let him reflect on it. Who knew that the son of Lu Dao not only did not have the slightest intention of introspection, but also did such a dirty thing.
Therefore, there are no exceptions. It is completely impossible for the fourth child to inherit the throne of King Qi in the future this time. Qingqing also understands this in her heart. Nodding and saying, "Fourth brother, that's death." By the way, did the Lu family still trouble you today? ”
"I haven't seen Concubine Lu come out today, I think it may have been specially instructed by King Qi." Lin Yu recalled his actions in the morning, "Otherwise, Concubine Lu should come out." The New Year's money given to me by my father-in-law today is also extraordinarily valuable, I'm afraid it also has the meaning of appeasement. ”
"What gave you something to say valuable?" Qingqing asked with some curiosity.
Lin Yu asked Pearl to bring it to her. He smiled and said, "There are two thousand taels of silver." In any case, it cannot be said that it is not valuable. ”
Qingqing opened the box and looked at it, and nodded and said, "I'm a little jealous, more than what was given to me, mine doesn't have rubies, but a pair of jade plates." ”
"You don't have to be cheap and sell well, and the gift I prepared for you can be given to you now." Lin Yu laughed and instructed Yahuan, "Bring my Huanghuali box." ”
Yahuan went in response, and took out a warm wooden box, Lin Yu took it, and did not open it, but handed it directly to Qingqing, "Look at it, is it not what you like?" ”
There was a yellow copper lock hanging from the carved box, but there was no key to hang on it, Qingqing opened it with a slight twist, and then opened the lid of the carved hundred flowers, she only glanced at it, and there was a surprised expression on her face, "You still know me." ”
This box is full of high-quality spices, some of which are rare spices from the northwest or southwest, as well as spices from the Western Regions such as high-grade sunken water, borneol, and other spices from the Western Regions such as frankincense transmitted from the Silk Road. Needless to say, because many spices are relatively rare, even if they are collected, it is not a day's work, Lin Yu has to prepare this box of spices at least two or three months in advance.
"How's it going, are you satisfied?" Looking at the surprise and smile on Qingqing's face, Lin Yu was also a little proud, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her pink lips.
"How can you be dissatisfied, it's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise I would have married you immediately." Qingqing took her attention away from the box of spices, and said to Lin Yu with a smile, "Otherwise, you don't marry Bai Gongzi, and I won't marry anyone, let's make do with it." ”
"Come less, how can you have the beauty of Xiaobai?" There are not so many taboos in the boudoir's private talk, and Lin Yu also joked, "Judging people by their appearance is a common problem, and I am no exception." ”
"You broke my heart." Qingqing exaggerated a crying expression, but then laughed again, "Seriously, when did you start collecting these things?" ”
"Since the robbery in the suburbs of Beijing, I have been collecting it officially, and I asked Xiaobai to help collect some spices that are rare here and more common to them, and then they slowly collected them." Lin Yu said with a smile, "Of course, this is only this time, not an example, of course, with your current status and family property, I don't have to worry about it." ”
"Well, I don't dare to hope for a second time." Qingqing said a little sourly, "Such a good girl, I am really reluctant to give it to others, if you marry in the future, I will definitely cry bitterly."
"Don't mess around, if you keep making trouble, you won't be able to catch the dinner party in the evening."
The dinner on the first day of the first lunar month is still very important, Lin Yu doesn't want to be late, who made this Qi Palace's mansion so big, from the Qingqing Tinghua Pavilion to the big flower hall for the banquet, there is more than a quarter of an hour's walking time. Lin Yu and Qingqing still have to change their clothes and tidy up their appearance a little, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour, and they must arrive ten minutes in advance, and now it is less than half an hour before the time for the banquet.
Under Lin Yu's reminder, the two of them were finally not late, but when the official banquet began, the fourth king of Qi did not come out, and the concubine Lu did not come out, and the king of Qi did not say anything about it, and the others were even more satisfied with it, and they all showed a feeling that there was no such person at all.
Banquets, that's what it is, it's interesting, it's fun, it's boring, it's boring. In addition to wine and food, it is a hundred songs and dances, after Su Ling'er's incident yesterday, today's performers are all from the official music workshop. Some people like this very much, so they are naturally very focused, Qingqing and Lin Yu are not very interested in this, so they are a little lacking in interest.
Qingqing watched the silk and bamboo performance on the stage, and whispered to Lin Yu, "It seems that the Lu family is under house arrest again, and my father is even more annoyed than I imagined." ”
"This is also there, after all, the thing that Concubine Lu did yesterday can't be tolerated by ordinary people." Lin Yu swallowed a small dumpling the size of his thumb in one bite, and then said softly.
Concubine Lu was under house arrest, Lin Yu was not very surprised, Concubine Lu was almost murdered last night. Even if Lin Yu was just an ordinary righteous daughter, King Qi would never allow this kind of thing to happen. What's more, Lin Yu is also implicated in Yin Susu, and the relationship with Qingqing is good, and he can hang up in front of the emperor and queen in the palace, if something really happens, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to do.
"I just don't know how long Lu Dao will be under house arrest, whether she will be locked up for a few days and come out, or let her cultivate her mind more." Qingqing sighed, she was reminded by Lin Yu last night, she couldn't help but think a little more than before, and she also had some complicated feelings. "When it comes to the situation of the fourth brother, it's probably not a matter of a year and a half."
Although Lin Yu didn't know what she was thinking, she also saw that Qingqing's expression was a little complicated, so she didn't agree. But this matter looks like it is in the past, after all, it is an attempt to hurt people, and it will be closed for a period of time, mainly because Lin Yu will not live in the Qi Palace, and besides, Concubine Lu and Concubine Li will fall into the well, and I am afraid that life will not be easy.
Lin Yu is considered a bitter master, and he is so quiet, so others naturally don't have much mood swings. King Qi happened to see Lin Yuping's peaceful and quiet expression, but he felt that she had a good personality, calm and generous, and a little pampered and not shocked, so his opinion was a little higher.
This night passed in such a turbulent way, this is also the normal progress of the banquet, everyone drinks and eats, talks and watches the performance, that is.
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day was the second day of the first month, and now there is a custom of going back to my parents' home. Because they were all in the capital, the other three daughters of King Qi who had already married all came back, and after Lin Yu hesitated, he didn't go home, and followed for another day.
Because none of King Qi's three daughters were born to Concubine Lu, and except for the third daughter who has always been disliked by King Qi, the biological mothers of the other two county lords are concubines, and they will not stand on the side of Lu and the fourth child, so this day is quite peaceful. The three county lords, except for the third child, all had children, and they all brought them over this time, so they were naturally very sought after, and Lin Yu paid a little more money for the New Year, but he was quite willing.
On the third day, that is, the third day of the new year, Lin Yu did not continue to stay in the Qi Palace, but said goodbye and went back. However, her first stop was not her own home, but she went to Lanyuan first, with her relationship with Yin Susu, why did she have to go over to greet the New Year in the third year of junior high school. (To be continued......)
