Chapter 106: Two Years Later
Jingtai 24th year June 18, Beijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lao Wei County is known as the tradition of "entering the ambush day, eating the sheep", on the day of the ambush, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion wafted out bursts of meat fragrance, a golden, bubbling roast whole sheep was placed in front of everyone.
The old general looked at a large table of people sitting around him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would be able to relive the warmth of home.
The sheep was bought by Uncle Pan a few days ago, and this time he went to the grassland to collect lambs and leather goods with the second son Pan Zeyi, the eldest son Pan Zeshan got married in the spring of this year, in addition to the Qinglan sisters and brothers, the old general Yi and Shu Lao and the two sons returned to Weixian to participate in their wedding.
With the old general to Beijing and Pan Siniang, under the persuasion of his younger brother, the old man Pan finally agreed to the marriage of his daughter and Zhao Ji, Pan Siniang went to Beijing to prepare for marriage, Zhao Ji also received a letter, just wait for the next year to return to Beijing to report on work, and the two will get married.
Pan Ze confidently gnawed on the leg of mutton, completely unaware that his grandfather was worried about his marriage, and since he beat him for "amnesia", he has fallen into a problem, and there is no meat for a meal, which also makes Brother He'er more and more sticky to him, "Follow my cousin to have meat to eat!" โ
After recovering from his injuries, Pan Zexin was transferred back to Beijing.
Although he "lost his memory" due to injury two years ago, Zheng Yuanju told Emperor Jingtai very "responsibly" that Pan Zexin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and martial arts have become an indispensable part of his body (muscle memory), so Pan Zexin can still continue to go to the battlefield.
"It's just that I've forgotten some things in the past, and people are not stupid."
However, Emperor Jingtai was afraid that Pan Zexin would leave any sequelae or intermittent "illness", so he transferred him to his side and became a member of the chief of the forbidden army, and he would return to the northeast with Zhao Ji in the spring of next year.
In addition to the Pan family and the Shu family, there are also Qinglan's friends here.
Thirteen has obviously grown a lot taller, and he has become more and more imposing as a prince when he raises his hands and feet.
The fifth prince is already the prince, and he can't leave Beijing easily, so a lot of official business outside the city is handed over to the thirteen, so the thirteen are often not in Beijing, and the last time they met was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Since Xiaobao returned to Weixian County for funeral two years ago, it seems that he has grown up overnight, and he has made a decision that surprised Qinglan very much.
"Learn the language?" Qinglan thought she had misheard.
Xiaobao nodded solemnly and said: "I can't study, I think about it, if I learn Yi well, it's not bad to go to the Ministry of Rites to be idle." โ
Honglu Temple is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of diplomatic affairs such as the tributary, the protocol house, and the tributary hall.
"Your dad told you to go?" It seems that Master Ding also knows the identity of Thirteen, probably because he doesn't want his son to get too close to the princes, I have to say that Master Ding is a good father who loves children.
Xiaobao smiled bitterly, "It's my brother-in-law who told him." โ
Miss Ding's husband, Qin Er, was directly promoted to the prefect of Changzhou after Ding Wei.
"And what do you think?" Although Qinglan understands Master Ding's good intentions for his son, but Xiaobao's lively temperament, is Honglu Temple a loss or a blessing for him?
Xiaobao wanted to squeeze out a chic smile, but it was not very successful, and the expression looked more like biting his tongue, "Let's learn Yi Yu first." "Anyway, he won't stay in Honglu Temple for the rest of his life.
Not to mention, Xiaobao still has some talent for languages, and his goal now is to become a qualified translator.
As a good friend, Qinglan resolutely supported all of Xiaobao's decisions, and also collected a lot of books on language, and would accompany Xiaobao to the translation hall to take classes when she was empty.
Sitting on Qinglan's left hand side is Qu Wanying, since the two of them "treated each other frankly", they have become good friends who talk about everything.
Two years ago, on the first day of Belle Epoque's opening, Qu Wanying came to Qinglan early in the morning.
When she asked, "Shu Qinglan, are you from modern times?" โ
Qinglan was stunned, although she had doubted Qu Wanying, she wanted to know the answer, and she wanted to know. But she doesn't have the courage of any family, so she dares to ask in a daze!
Qing Lanmu stared blankly at the two girls in ancient costumes reflected in the glass mirror, and instantly had the illusion of time frozen.
It turned out that for fourteen years, he had been running away, and his heart had never let go.
Yes, how can it be easily relieved, why did you have to be so curious in the first place!!
Qinglan has never dared to think about it, for fear that her reason will be overwhelmed by regret like she is now.
Halfway, Qinglan looked at Qu Wanying's clear eyes reflecting her helpless self, and a lyric appeared in her head like a short circuit: Liberation, is willing to admit that this is a mistake and find a new direction to move forward.
I must be crazy, she smiled brightly at Qu Wanying, "I am." โ
It is a wonderful fate, why can't people exchange sincerity with each other?
Even if I turn against each other one day, I don't regret it.
"I am, what about you?" Qinglan asked stupidly a "nonsense".
Qu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that there is no endless road, and she is not alone.
"Me too."
Qu Wanying showed a relieved smile.
That's right, the secret sharing at this moment made the two feel relieved.
Qinglan split the two lamb chops in two and handed one of them to Zhu Yuanjin, no, this action was surprisingly consistent with Lin Yinfei.
Qinglan took the lamb chops back without changing her face, and took a bite hard, calling you to show your affection!
Mr. and Mrs. Lin Yinfei: ......
In the winter of last year, Zhu Yuanjin married the person she had been secretly crushing since she was five years old: Lin Yinfei.
When Zhu Yuanjin told Qinglan about this, there was no shyness and expectation on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" It's not that I've had a crush on someone for many years, why did I die... The expression of the. Sins and sins, Zhu Guogong, I didn't mean you.
"I... I do not know. Zhu Yuanjin only felt that the moment she nodded in agreement, it seemed that something very important was leaving her.
Qinglan chuckled in her heart, premarital syndrome? No way?
"I, I don't think I'm going to be Zhu Yuanjin anymore."
โฆ So who are you? A goblin sent by a monkey.
"I'm scared." Zhu Yuanjin's eyes were straight, "Lin Yinfei came to me yesterday." โ
"What for?" Threatening you? Scares you like this.
"He asked me if I would like to marry him."
I'll go, Qinglan suddenly thought of a sentence: Are you afraid of loving me? It seems that Yuan Jin is afraid.
"He said," Zhu Yuanjin lowered his head sadly, "he may not be a good husband." โ
it! Before he got married, he was thinking about messing around!? "Does he have a concubine or a room?!" Qinglan clenched her fists, "You can't bear this!" โ
Zhu Yuanjin obviously hasn't come back to his senses yet, "The Lin family... No concubines and no intercourse. โ
The head of the Lin family is the eldest princess who helped Emperor Yuan Qi fight the world, and took a concubine? Hehe.
Then you... Then what does he Lin Yinfei mean?!
Lin Yinfei's meaning is very simple, he needs a good wife and mother, and a good helper.
This means that all the energy and thoughts of Zhu Yuanjin's married life will be put on the Lin family and Lin Yinfei, so Zhu Yuanjin is afraid, she is afraid of losing herself, and she understands a little in her heart but can't say it.
Qinglan sighed, she always knew that Lin Yinfei was the same person as herself, selfish and out of print.
So obviously she has to stay away, because what she wants, Lin Yinfei can't give it; Similarly, Lin Yinfei is definitely not his beloved.
"You promised him?" Qinglan pinched her eyebrows, do you need to ask, Zhu Yuanjin has been secretly in love with him for so many years, even if Lin Yinfei asked her to dig out her liver, she would agree.
Zhu Yuanjin only came back to his senses at this time.
Alas~ "You really love him." "Love to this, Qinglan feels that this sister is basically hopeless.
I just hope that... Lin Yinfei can treat her well, don't let Yuan Jin pay this sincerity by mistake.
On the day of Lin Yinfei and Zhu Yuanjin's wedding, the city was full of women's thunderous cries.
In other words, this scene is quite unlucky, Lin Yinfei is riding on a horse in a happy suit, and the army of women who are crying closely follows the welcoming team... The sound of suona gongs and drums can't cover the mournful cry.
Anyway, that scene is a little infiltrating.
Fortunately, Lin Yinfei seems to have changed after marriage, knowing that he is distressed, and the happiness shining in Yuan Jin's eyes can't be hidden.
Now she is more than five months pregnant, and her biggest hobby is eating meat.
After the meal, Zhu Yuanjin proposed to go to the night market.
Everyone looked at Lin Yinfei in unison.
Lin Yinfei glanced at Zhu Yuanjin, who was full of anticipation, and a rare expression similar to tenderness appeared on his indifferent face, "Go." โ
All:......
can't see that Lin Yinfei is still a favorite wife.
Qinglan suddenly felt envious, in a few days, she will also be in time, the fifteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, in Dashun means that you can start a family.
Marriage... As soon as she thought of these two words, Qinglan wanted to die, it was really terrifying.
"Shu Qinglan!" Pan Erniang was very angry at her daughter's "distraction", "What do you think?! โ
"Mother, I'm still young, are you in such a hurry to marry me off?" There is always a feeling of being disgusted by my mother.
"How old are you, haven't you counted it in your heart!? Is it a matter of one or two days from marriage to marriage? Pan Erniang's voice woke up even the righteous old general in the front yard.
Alas~ The old general can't sleep, he likes Qingqing very much, but his grandson will guard the border in the future, and Qingqing... Aiming at the court, the two children are destined to be inseparable...
"I'm only in June!" Qinglan yelled back unwillingly, she was also very aggrieved, okay? Fifteen, not fifty, as for it! It's like I can't get married!
Pan Erniang is anxious for a reason.
Although the Shu family now lives in Zhongyi Houfu, they are not the masters of the Eight Classics after all, so Qinglan's marriage... It's always high or low, and the girl is good in her own eyes, but I don't know why, so far no one has been negotiated.
"Mother, this kind of thing can't be forced, don't worry," Seeing that Pan Erniang was about to be irritable again, Qinglan hurriedly said: "It's useless if you're in a hurry!" I'm sure that someone of mine must be waiting for me. โ
"Huh, who?" Pan Erniang said angrily: "Lord Yama." โ
......
Qinglan rubbed her face, "Mother, do you think this will work, let's study this matter after my spring, okay?" โ
Pan Erniang thought for a while, "Nacheng, after the exam, you have to listen to my arrangements." โ
With the increasing national strength of Dashun, the night market in the capital is also becoming more and more prosperous, and most of the people who visit the night market are young people or children, bustling and lively.
"What do you want?" Thirteen and Qinglan walked side by side at the end.
Qinglan stared at him blankly, but didn't speak.
"What?" Thirteen was puzzled.
"I want to see the sea and eat crabs." Qinglan felt that she was trapped in the capital like this, and she was about to suffocate to death.
Thirteen hearts said: It's enough to go to Tianjin for a day, but, "You have to hold a birthday banquet, right?" โ
Qinglan instantly changed her lifeless expression.
"You don't want to live?" Thirteen thinks it's incredible, aren't the girls looking forward to this day?
Qinglan still pretended to be dead.
"Fu..."
Qinglan hurriedly went to cover Thirteen's mouth, "Didn't you say it!" Don't call me by that name! โ
I don't know why, Thirteen can obviously dodge the "claws" stretched out by Qinglan, but the ghost didn't dodge, Qinglan's palms were soft and a little wet.
Qinglan hung her face, "Don't mention it again, do you hear me!" "Can you still enjoy visiting the night market?
Mr. Ji gave Qinglan a table word: Xizhi.
Shu Qinglan, the word Xizhi.
Qinglan was very satisfied, and suddenly felt that she was very tall and wooden.
Mr. Ji looked at the triumphant apprentice and said slowly: "When a woman is married, her family or elders will also give her a small character. โ
This is the style of the young lady of the scholarly family, but the word "Xizhi" is so beautiful, Qinglan can't help but ask her husband to give her another small character.
Mr. Ji waved his pen, and two eye-catching big characters appeared on the cloud silk rice paper: Fujia.
Shu Fujia?
Poofโโ
"Satisfied?"
โฆโฆ
"Master..."Qinglan really wanted Mr. Ji to change her name, but she couldn't explain the reason for changing her name.
"How?"
"Thank you, Master." Master, she couldn't afford to provoke her, so she had to answer with a full face.
"Fujia,"
Qinglan suddenly wanted to be deaf, these two words were too harsh.
"Master?"
"Be prepared."
When she thought of Chunqiu, Qinglan really felt that she could take the time to die.
"It's going to end next year, right? How's the preparation? Thirteen pulled Qinglan by the hand and dodged a group of crazy children.
Qinglan looked at Thirteen sadly: Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned!
"What? Sir scolded you again? โ
It's more than scolding...
"Fujia, did you take it by mistake?" Mr. Ji trembled in his hand an article written by Qinglan who stayed up all night.
Qinglan's eyes widened and puffy, she didn't take it wrong.
"It must be the wrong one," Mr. Ji smiled harmlessly, "There are still a lot of such articles in the toilet in the school, so I won't keep it as a teacher." โ
Next Olympics! Master's level of scolding has increased again!
Qinglan really wants to throw the article in front of the master, is this toilet literature, is there such an esoteric toilet literature!? This is your apprentice's painstaking efforts...
"What about your article, take it to the teacher to see."
โฆโฆ
"Just go through the motions, and don't take it too seriously." Thirteen is very confident in Qinglan's knowledge, and besides, Chunyu is not just a test of knowledge, the most important thing is a policy of governing the country.
Qinglan's eyes can no longer be described as complaining.
If you go through the motions, you'll be tossed to death...
"It's a stepping stone, you have to knock on it yourself." Thirteen reassured.
"Look in my eyes." Qinglan pointed to the blue and black under her eyes, "Am I like someone who doesn't knock on the door myself?" โ
Thirteen Zhenzai carefully looked at Qinglan.
"It's not that long." Thirteen is dark, the master is finally half a head taller than you.
โฆโฆ
"I'm almost sixteen!" Qinglan is happy with her current height.
"Seventeen."
โฆโฆ
"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
Yes? "Where?" I have three more articles to catch.
"If you go, you won't know."
"Thirteen?"
"Huh?"
"Is there a gift that allows me to pass the exam without taking the Spring Festival?"
"Yes."
"What!?"
"Yes. Dream. โ
