237 Go and stay
The summer agitation gradually subsided, and the cicadas among the trees were sparse and scarce. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chu Qinling was caged with a light silk shawl, lazily leaning on the water-red cushion, and smiled casually: "Shu Yao, what kind of in-laws are you going to tell her?" ā
The incense of the agarwood in the hall floated in wisps, because there was a palace maid who had just added ash, and the taste was extraordinarily strong, which made Lin Qixu's heart clogged. She was stunned before she said slowly: "Although the small rich family is good, in the long run, it is most beneficial to marry highly." ā
Marriage is a woman's second reincarnation, and it is used to change her fate.
Shu Yao's own conditions are good, abandoning the possibility of being a concubine for others, and choosing a concubine from a medium-sized family will be better than a mediocre life.
Chu Qinling glanced at her and said with a smile: "I thought you would choose an easy path for her." ā
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have a comfortable life at all. According to the principle of being the right person, Shu Yao's future in-laws are probably poor scholars or sons and daughters of declining families. "What can a county concubine choose.
Chu Qinling sneered: "That's not too cheap for them. ā
"It's not cheap. The problem is that Shu Yao's life is also not easy. "Before the daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, her life was almost the same, growing up in the grinding, taking care of the housework diligently, and crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Chu Qinling looked at Lin Qixu's somewhat gloomy face and asked, "There are no good candidates?" ā
Lin Qixu smiled bitterly: "I don't move around much." In addition, his reputation is damaged, where can he give Shu Yao to find his mother-in-law's house. "When others see such a strong cousin and cousin, there is a good chance that they will retreat.
"The princess restricts you from going out?"
"No limit. It's that I don't like to move around. Lin Qixu said lightly.
Chu Qinling listened to her daughter's sudden crying outside, her eyebrows moved, she sat up and prepared to stay, and asked: "You might as well go into the palace more on another day, many ladies are idle all day long...... Come to me every now and then. ā
Lin Qixu called the palace maid to change her clothes and said, "Look at your overwhelmed appearance, how many people are jealous of you, but you have to be careful not to fall into the trap." ā
"yes, I know." Chu Qinling stretched out his arms, was served and dressed, and asked, "Why don't you ask your prince to inquire?" ā
Lin Qixu pursed his lips before he said, "Shu Jiao is quite evasive." After meeting him, he heard some rumors from his subordinates, and Shu Jiao stayed in the house to cultivate his self-cultivation. ā
Chu Qinling understood the meaning of the words, and blinked, a little difficult to answer. After a long time, he said, "Nothing bad. At least I have a heart. Lin Qixu got up and helped her to go outside to see the princess, and said: "Qichen is now out of Beijing, the Mingzhi brothers study hard, if Shu Yao can marry highly, it will be good for the younger brothers." "Brothers and sisters, most of the time they are helping each other, and the younger brothers are Shu Yao's support, and Shu Yao also hopes that his marriage can add some help to his younger brothers.
The weather is mild, the wind blows on the face, warm and comfortable. The blue sky is clear, like a washed jade surface, and the waves are not alarmed, and a few birds pass by from time to time. The little princess pointed to a pot of early-blooming golden chrysanthemums babbling, smiling so much that the corners of her mouth were flushed, and her chubby face revealed a healthy pink.
Chu Qinling smiled suddenly: "Your prince is really not impressed?" ā
Young and beautiful, it was once the standard for King Rui to choose a concubine.
"Nope. The draft has arrived at the palace selection, and the Zhang family is just around the corner. "The prince is not a lustful and greedy person, and the large-scale selection of concubines is to reproduce heirs, and to choose a mother with good looks for the child.
Of course, from Lin Qixu's point of view, these women really can't be called good looks.
Chu Qinling was speechless, and only sighed: "There is still a mother in this world who sends her daughter to be a concubine, especially this mother herself has suffered enough from inferiority." ā
The birds rested quietly on a begonia tree in the courtyard, the dead leaves hanging and the branches slightly sparse. Lin Qixu walked over slowly, sat on the wiped table, looked at the mottled marks on the trunk, and said, "Life is compelling." Maybe the Zhang family will have a good time. ā
Then I dreamed back in the middle of the night, repenting countless times, resenting countless times. Tears. Chu Qinling's words were cool.
Lin Qixu smiled: "Is it you?" ā
"Is that you?" Chu Qinling learned her tone and asked rhetorically.
The two of them looked at each other and looked away from their slightly embarrassed eyes. Obviously, I have had enough of the grievances of being a concubine, and it is clear that it was indeed the best solution with no choice, but over the years, the tears shed in the dark night, and the blood that flowed in my heart, I don't regret it.
Lin Qixu looked at Shu Yao, who was smiling and laughing, not far away, gently and firmly, and said, "I won't be a concubine anymore." "The Lin family has a shameless Lin Qixu, and there will be no second one.
"Marry a good man."
That was also the common wish of the three of them.
In the end, it was washed away by the flood of the world, and goodbye was already clear.
Lin Qixu and Shu Yao, as relatives of the royal palace, are allowed to stay in the palace for a limited time. The majestic palace, reflecting the vermilion wall and blue tiles, shrouded in a faint golden circle of autumn, after the two of them said goodbye to their relatives, they walked hand in hand with each other on the narrow and oppressive road, and the crisp whip sound could be heard one after another not far away......
"Your Majesty went there." Shu Yao whispered.
"Yes, the three palaces and six courtyards must always be comprehensive." Lin Qixu said gently, "In the future, you will either get used to the existence of a concubine or become a concubine." Shu Yao, you don't want to be small, do you? ā
Lin Shuyao was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "Never be a concubine." "My aunt's death is a sword hanging in my heart, and I can't repeat the mistakes of the past in life, and let my children suffer their own sins.
"Okay."
Lin Qixu held her hand, and his strength was a little stronger.
The confusion and hesitation about the future cannot withstand the common wish of their hearts.
Be upright and marry a wife.
The road is still very long, and she has no power to return to the sky, but I hope that Shu Yao's words can really be realized.
The palace was strict, the guards were on guard, they cashed the token, sent the eunuch back, they boarded the carriage and sat down, and the carriage slowly drove away from the palace gate. When she arrived at the palace, Lin Qixu glanced at it, and it was already lit up, and a team of maids passing by her.
She glanced at the dishes and asked casually, "There are guests in the main courtyard?" ā
Ziwei is the aunt in charge of the dining room, and when she heard this, she said: "Yes, the Duchess of Fuguo came to the house to eat today." ā
Lin Qixu raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything more, and watched them leave.
"Sister......" Lin Shuyao tugged at her sleeve quite apprehensively.
"It's okay, let's go." Lin Qixu pondered whether something important had happened to the Xie family, and at the same time pondered how to let Shu Yao show his face in the capital, at least no longer be dragged down by her and Qichen's reputation.
Lin Qixu, who had always been meticulous, didn't notice that Shu Yao's face changed and changed, until she hid all her surprises, silently followed behind her cousin, and walked back to Agarwood Pavilion slowly.
