They were walking and stopping, and it took nearly half a month to gradually get closer to the capital, but there was no way to get to the capital before today, but there were no inns around, the night gradually darkened, Qinghe lifted the curtain and looked at the sky outside and sat by the door and asked: "Rest in the carriage tonight, or rush overnight, and rest again tomorrow." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qiao Meng looked back at her worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Qinghe shook his head: "No." ”

"That'll be fine."

The carriage was walking under the moon, and suddenly Qiao Meng saw the light of a candle not far away, and he immediately drove over, and sure enough, he saw a room, and there were still figures walking in it, and he saw that it was a young woman.

No matter what, let Qinghe have a good rest, and it is okay to sleep in the carriage by himself, Qiao Meng thought about taking Qinghe over, there were two grandchildren in that room, the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there was a woman who was her grandmother.

When Qiao Meng knocked on the door, it was her grandmother who opened the door, and when she saw Qiao Meng standing in front of the door with Qinghe in her arms, she also understood that at the border of the capital, there was only one family like her, and she wanted to come to stay overnight, so she turned sideways and said, "Come in, two of you." ”

Qiao Meng was a little surprised by the grandmother's good words, but he didn't think about it so much, so he brought Qinghe in.

"Are you going to the capital?" The old woman asked.

Qiao Meng nodded: "My wife and I used to be in Jing'an, but there has been a war there, and she is not feeling well, so she came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives." ”

As she spoke, the little girl came out of the house, smiled at them, and when she turned the door and came back, she had an extra pot of hot water in her hand, and poured a cup of water into a bowl without tea.

"Thank you." Qinghe happened to be a little thirsty, and when he saw it, his mood was also relaxed.

The little girl smiled and sat on a stool beside her.

The old grandmother looked at the two of them and said, "This capital is not safe either. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The old grandmother sighed and said slowly: "I have a nephew who is on an errand in the prince's mansion, and he came out to run errands and met me a few days ago, so he chatted with me for a while, saying that the capital has become a pot of porridge, and the prince's succession to the throne has been ironclad, but now there has been a change, Emperor Dayu seems to be favored by the four princes, but the four princes have no intention of the throne, so those princes below began to compete for the throne, and the prince is difficult this time." ”

"We can't participate in this royal matter, but what we ordinary people want is nothing more than a Ming monarch, so as long as the emperor is enlightened, whoever is the emperor can do it." Qiao Meng said.

"That's what you said, it's just that now the capital is in turmoil, some people take advantage of the fire to rob and recruit soldiers everywhere, if you go in, son, you have to be careful, don't be arrested to join the army, now Dayu is in turmoil, and he is arrested and killed!"

They just came back from the war, they are not afraid of this, but they are afraid that the child in Qinghe's belly will be lost and affect Qinghe, Qiao Meng looked at Qinghe, she was sitting next to the little girl and didn't know what to play with her.

Qiao Meng looked at the old grandmother and smiled and said: "Actually, I won't tell you, my wife and I just came back from the battlefield, if it weren't for my wife's physical discomfort, I'm afraid she would still be killing the enemy in Jing'an." ”

The old grandmother looked at Qiao Meng in surprise, the little girl raised her head and glanced at Qiao Meng with a blank face, and then asked Qinghe, "Have you been to the battlefield?" ”

Qinghe nodded: "Yes, there are many people who have died there, and many people have nothing to eat, so don't go over." ”

The old grandmother didn't know what to say except for surprise, but her cloudy eyes became deeper and deeper: "That's it, tonight, you can stay with me for one night, and there is no place to rest outside." ”

"Thank you."

"Dinner?" The old woman got up and asked.

"Grandma, we ate." Qinghe said.

The old grandmother glanced at them, took out some food from the cupboard on the side and handed it over: "Then eat less, it won't take up your stomach, girl, you are not feeling well, and you can't be hungry, eat some." ”

The meal was also very ordinary, a little simple vegetable, and a steamed bun with residual temperature.

Qinghe didn't refuse, he ate generously, Qiao Meng didn't move his chopsticks, looked at Qinghe, the little girl looked strange and asked, "Brother, don't you eat?" ”

"It's fine." Qiao Meng smiled at the little girl.

Qinghe was stunned for a moment, seeing that Qiao Meng's mouth was a little full, and hurriedly swallowed it, but she almost choked, Qiao Meng hurriedly helped her smooth her back, Qinghe finally swallowed it and said, "You can eat some too, I don't care if I look at it." ”

"Okay." Qiao Meng moved his chopsticks this time.

The little girl looked at it and smiled crookedly: "Brother, you are so good to your sister." ”

"She's my wife, and of course I'm going to be nice to her." Qinghe found that Qiao Meng suddenly became much gentler, and the coldness on his body disappeared a lot compared to previous days.

"I hope I can meet a man who is as good as my brother in the future, so that I will wake up with a smile in my dreams."

"Tiantian, don't talk nonsense." The old grandmother said suddenly, probably thinking that the little girl was a little shameless to talk like this.

The little girl lowered her head and stopped talking.

Qinghe asked, "Your name is Tiantian!" ”

The little girl nodded: "This is my milk name." ”

"And what's your name?" Qinghe asked.

The little girl shook her head: "I don't have a big name, I picked it up by my grandmother, I don't have parents, I don't have a name, my grandmother calls me Tiantian, I think my name is Tiantian." She laughed, and her smile was sweet.

"Shall I give you a name?" Qinghe seemed to like her very much.

The little girl hurriedly nodded, and the grandmother heard it on the side and didn't object, so Qinghe raised her head and thought: "I want to think about it, how about calling Linjing?" ”

"Linjing?" The little girl did not understand the name.

"In the place near the capital, we met, and on the day we met, you had the name Linjing."

The little girl seemed to understand the meaning, and said to her grandmother with a smile: "How about the name Grandma Linjing?" ”

The old grandmother nodded: "The name is good, it's not as weak as other girls, it's a hard name." ”

Qinghe always felt that this grandmother was not like an ordinary person, and she always felt that she was like a person who had read a book, but everyone has their own lives, and they can't say for sure.

There are exactly two rooms in the house, one for Qinghe and Qiao Meng, and the little girl and the old grandmother will spend one night.

Blowing the candle flame at night, Qinghe lay down, Qiao Meng hugged her and patted her back, Qinghe opened very sleepy eyes, looked at Qiao Meng and said: "I don't know why, every time you pat me on the back and coax me to sleep, I feel very relieved, as if it was like this a long time ago, Qiao Meng, do you think I still have something I don't remember!" I can't remember when you coaxed me like that. ”

Qiao Meng smiled slightly and said: "Of course you can't remember, you were still young at that time, so young that you couldn't walk and talk, and I coaxed you to sleep like this since then." ”

Qinghe's heart warmed inexplicably after hearing this, it turned out that a long time ago, they were so close, and Qinghe buried a smile on the corner of his mouth in Qiao Meng's arms.

Early the next morning, Qiao Meng got up, Qinghe was still sleeping, he didn't wake up Qinghe, when he went out, the old grandmother had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast outside, she said when she saw Qiao Meng: "Eat some breakfast and then leave, anyway, the capital is not far away." ”

Qiao Meng nodded: "It's hard work." ”

When the grandmother was cooking, Qiao Meng was feeding the horses, and the grandmother glanced at Qiao Meng and asked, "I don't know which relative the two of you are looking for in the capital!" It just so happens that I know someone in the capital, and I can ask them to take care of you. ”

Qiao Meng replied: "No, the place where that relative lives, you can see it at a glance." ”

"You can see it at a glance, you can't say it's the palace." The old lady said with a smile, her tone a little joking.

"That's fine." Qiao Meng didn't mean to hide it from her, this ancestor and grandson were both very good people, and Qiao Meng didn't seem to deceive them about anything.

The old grandmother walked up to Qiao Meng in surprise and said, "Do you know the nobles in the palace?" ”

Qiao Meng was taken aback: "Yes, know a little." "More than that.

The old grandmother looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Knowing a little, that's amazing." She said in a tone that suddenly became serious and asked, "Can that son recognize Rong Zhaoyi back then." ”

Rong Zhaoyi died about ten years ago, when Qiao Meng was still young and didn't know many people, but occasionally I heard the master mention that Rong Zhaoyi and Murong Shuyue's mother, Concubine Le Xian, were friends in the palace, and later after she became pregnant, her health deteriorated for a while, and finally after giving birth to a princess, the fragrance disappeared, but the strange thing is that the princess is gone.

"A little sniff."

The old grandmother said with a serious expression: "I don't think the son is a big evil person, and the old man has one thing that wants to bother the son." ”

"I want to hear about it."

When Qinghe got up, breakfast had already been seated, Qiao Meng sat in the room with a heavy face, Qinghe rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to Qinghe and asked, "What's wrong, the expression is so ugly?" ”

"Are you alright, have you slept enough?" Qiao Meng took Qinghe's hand and asked her to sit beside him.

Qinghe didn't seem to have slept enough, and shook his head: "I'm still a little sleepy, but when I slept softly, I forced myself to get up." ”

"After I go back, I will find a doctor to take care of my body."

Qinghe nodded.

Four people at the square table, each eating with their own thoughts.

After the old grandmother finished eating early, she went back to the room to pack her things, and then handed a small bag to Qiao Meng and said, "There is a son of Lao Qiao." ”

Qiao Meng took the thing.

The old grandmother looked at Linjing and said, "Tiantian, haven't you always wanted to study, I told this big brother to let her take you to study." ”

Lin Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes lit up: "Grandma, are you serious?" ”

"Really, you have to be obedient when you go over there, and when you finish your studies, you will come back to pick up grandma and enjoy the blessings."

"Grandma, aren't you going with us?" Linjing suddenly became reluctant.

Grandma is reluctant, but she can't always keep Linjing by her side, but she doesn't belong here, she belongs to the broader sky: "Grandma often teaches you that people are responsible for their own choices, if you are not willing to let grandma, and live here with me all the time, then you will never be able to read, you can only be an ordinary woman, die in obscurity in this land, if you choose to study with your son, then it is possible to get ahead and become a son-in-law, and then take grandma to enjoy the blessings, sweet you can think about it." ”

Linjing thought for a while, then stood up and took the salute in Qiao Meng's hand and said, "Grandma, I think about it, you must wait for me to come back to pick you up, don't run around." ”

The old grandmother smiled with relief, and her cloudy eyes were filled with tears: "The capital is not far away, you can come back to see grandma when you have time." ”

Lin Jing wiped away the tears that fell and showed a big smile: "Grandma, but you have to take care of it, I will definitely become the first daughter-in-law of Dayu." ”

"Okay, grandma waits."

Linjing followed Qinghe into the carriage, the grandmother stood by the door with her body rickety, the carriage waved reluctantly, but her eyes moved away for a while, until the carriage disappeared, she gradually put down her hand, lowered her head and wiped her tears, and turned back to the house.

And Linjing in the carriage saw through the window in the carriage that her grandmother had been standing there, until the figure disappeared, she was reluctant to sit in the car, Qinghe knew that she was reluctant, but since she had chosen this path, she had to persevere.

Qinghe took Linjing's hand and said: "I'll take you to a good place, there is a very powerful person there, his intelligence, the whole Dayu can no longer find a second one, you learn from him, you will definitely succeed early, and you can return to grandma's side early." ”

Qinghe was a little puzzled about why Qiao Meng suddenly agreed to the old grandmother's request, but she didn't ask much, she just chose to believe in Qiao Meng's choice unconditionally, she believed that there was a reason for everything Qiao Meng did.

The carriage gradually entered the capital, they did not go to the palace, they went directly to Murong Shuyue's mansion, Qiao Meng said to the guard at the door: "Qiao Meng and Qinghe ask to see the four princes. ”

The two guards heard this name, and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard, and after a while, they saw Murong Shu welcoming towards the door in a hurry, followed by Sister and Brother Yu.

Qiao Meng jumped down from the carriage, Linjing was fast, and jumped down first, Murong Shuyue and Yu Wan were startled when they saw the strange girl who jumped down, and then Qinghe slowly came out of the carriage, and Qiao Meng carefully helped her to pick her up from the carriage.

Seeing this scene, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, but they didn't show it.

Yu Wan knows that the relationship between Qiao Meng and Qinghe has always been unusual, if Qinghe hadn't lost his memory, he should have been with Qiao Meng a long time ago.

"It's a long time to travel, come in and rest." Murong Shuyue said.

Yu Wan set her eyes on the girl who was following Qinghe and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”

Qiao Meng glanced at Linjing and said, "Her name is Linjing, and I will talk about her identity later."

Linjing had never seen such a spacious house, so after seeing the chic of Murong Shuyue's house, he was amazed in his heart, and when he thought of his grandmother who was still at home, that emotion was instantly extinguished and turned into sadness.

"Let them go and rest first." Qiao Meng said.

Seeing this, Yu Wan said, "Take them to the guest room to rest." ”

Qinghe and Linjing were taken elsewhere, and Qiao Meng said after seeing them leave: "This time I really have to bother the four princes." ”

"How?" Murong Shuyue looked at Qiao Meng.

"This Linjing's identity is a bit special, so before the overall situation is decided, I want her to stay in the Four Princes' Mansion and let Yu Wan teach her to read."
