15. New marriage

After taking the medicine in a daze and rinsing his mouth again, Qingtong still slipped into the quilt and continued to sleep. When you fall asleep completely, you don't know what is happening around you. Dafan has a little consciousness, and it is all vague.

Like this, Qingtong slept until the high fever in the second half of the night, and the person leaning on the head of the bed reached out and took the towel on her head, covered her hands and tested the temperature, and made sure that she was no longer feverish, so she got up and packed up the miscellaneous items in the house, and went again quietly.

+++

The sound of bangs and roosters crowing entered his ears, and Qingtong woke up with a frown. The weakness of the whole body disappeared, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, pushed open the door and smelled a burst of fresh air, accompanied by the low bird song under the eaves, I only felt energetic.

After walking around the courtyard twice, the door of the west wing room opened, and Green Shadow and Zisu came out, and hurriedly came over to ask Andao: "Is the old man in good health?" ”

"Much better." Qing Tong smiled, "Fetch some water, I'm going to wash up and go to the palace." ”

"Huh." Green Shadow and Purple Su were overjoyed, and hurriedly went to fetch water, tidy up the room, and feed the birds under the eaves.

Qing Tong dipped the towel in warm water, touched the surface of the water with her fingers, and suddenly remembered that someone seemed to be taking care of herself all night. Whether it's changing the wipes on her forehead or feeding the medicine, she is still a little conscious.

I washed my face with lukewarm water, dried it, and sat down in front of the mirror. Green Shadow followed, took a comb to help her comb her hair, and said with a smile: "The master slept all day yesterday, and he looks much more energetic this morning." ”

Qing Tong also had a smile on his face, his current state was really good compared to the state he was in when he was sick, and he was naturally in a good mood. She looked at the green shadow in the mirror and combed her hair, and asked tentatively, "Did anyone take care of me yesterday?" ”

Green Shadow hurriedly said: "We want to, but the master won't let us." I hid in the room by myself and covered myself with a quilt for a day and a night. The master too, don't look at the doctor and don't let us take care of it, in case there is a mistake, how about it? ”

Qingtong had a smile on her face: "What can be missing?" It's you who are overthinking. By the way, you can call Mother Wu later, I have something to explain. In the future, I am afraid that this family will have to bother her to take care of it. There are more people, and no one cares about it. ”

"What? What about Mother Ho? Green Shadow asked slowly, and took the white jade crown of shrimp whiskers and put it on Qingtong.

After combing her hair, Qingtong got up and dusted off her clothes: "Let her rest, maybe she's tired." ”

The maids and mothers-in-law in the family all knew what happened to He's mother in the palace on the night of looking for Qingyan. Green Shadow looked at Qingtong and didn't ask anything else, only said, "I asked Zisu to call Mother Wu, and I went to the kitchen to get some food for the master." ”

While eating breakfast, Qing Tong handed over the management of the family's chores to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu was overjoyed, thanked her in response, and thought about how to manage things.

After breakfast, Qingtong didn't stay any longer, put on his official uniform and went to work. She didn't go to this day, but she didn't know what was going on in the Hanlin Courtyard. If you think about it, it would be the best if it could be the same as before. However, it often backfires.

As soon as Qing Tong arrived, she met a lot of strange eyes, and when she caught up, the eyes were already closed, as if she didn't see her. Zhou Rui and Li Houde came to meet her, she said early, and the two in front of them only laughed like clowns, and reluctantly said "early" and went.

Qingtong could barely guess why everyone was doing this, so naturally she didn't feel unacceptable in her heart. She said early when she saw people as usual, neither humble nor arrogant, and went to her desk, put down her things and continued to work. Or flip through some classics, or write and draw, as if nothing had happened.

I can see it intently, and there are two more figures around me. Qingtong raised his head, and when he saw that it was Zhao Yan and Yan Qing, he put down the pen in his hand, got up and said, "You ......"

Without saying any more, Yan Qing stared at her and asked without concealment: "I heard that you offended the Feng family?" It also hurt the reputation of other girls? ”

Qing Tong pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhao Yan looked at her: "Among the six departments, the most relevant to the Hanlin Academy is the Ministry of Rites, what do you think?" As far as I know, the girl of the Feng family is not as unbearable as rumored, so what if she marries? ”

Qingtong smiled helplessly, shrugged her shoulders, and still had nothing to say.

Zhao Yan looked at her twice, "What's so hard to say?" ”

Yan Qing touched his chin with his hand: "You don't lift it?" ”

Green pupils: ==

The two guessed wildly, and Qingtong only said, "It's just a chance." ”

Zhao Yan and Yan Qing both glanced at her, obviously dissatisfied with such perfunctory words. With a disgruntled look, the two turned around and left. Qing Tong quickly grabbed one person's sleeve with one hand, looked at the two of them and said, "You guys ignore me too?" Wouldn't I ...... then?"

Zhao Yan and Yan Qing pulled out their sleeves and said in unison: "Do it yourself!" Then he walked away.

Qing Hitomi stood in place and shrugged her shoulders again, she had no choice but to sit down and continue working. She probably also understood that after she offended the Feng family, she was isolated in the Hanlin Academy. Who has the mental energy to waste it on her body that has offended the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, just don't see it.

Qingtong thought clearly, and his heart was very calm. Things will always be the same, complaining will not solve the problem, only acceptance. Besides, things can't go bad forever.

As the saying goes, things must be reversed.

Qing Tong just finished comforting herself like this...... Something even worse happened again......

She rubbed her temples vigorously, suppressed the mood of wanting to scold her mother, and stared at the yellow cloth scroll in front of her for a long time, word by word - it turns out that things have not reached the worst yet!

And here's the thing-

Regarding the indifference and even mocking attitude of the people in the Hanlin Academy towards Qing Tong, Qing Tong didn't take it to heart. In the evening, when she was about to end her duties, she found Zhou Rui and mentioned the matter of inviting everyone to dinner as she had promised before.

Qing Tong knew everyone's attitude towards him in his heart, but he couldn't sit still in everything. If you admit defeat first, that's the real loss. It's self-deprecating, and it's always more effective than self-depression in a corner. If you do it, something will happen, and if you don't, nothing will happen.

And as soon as he finished speaking, just as Qingtong expected, Zhou Rui couldn't help laughing, and almost burst into tears. He put down the book in his hand, got up and looked at Qingtong, and pretended to be serious and said, "Are you serious...... Or stupid? ”

The three words that came up after a pause made everyone present laugh out loud, and they all said: "I'm afraid it's stupid." ”

Qingtong still had a calm smile on her face, and heard Zhou Rui's follower Li Houde speak: "What if you are the champion?" What if you entered Hanlin? You don't have a backer at all, and you are still pretending to be high. It's good at this time, and it's not easy to use your brain, and it's only been a few days since I took office, and I've offended all the books of the Ministry of Rites. Since ancient times, have there been fewer buried champions? I'm afraid there is no more ...... than Lord Qing."

The word "stupid" turned into a silent lip shape on Li Houde's mouth, the son of the county commander's family, he also knows how to bully people at this time. After the stupid word comparison, he hurriedly changed his expression again, and said loudly: "Cow! Convinced! ”

The crowd laughed.

Yan Qing outside the crowd couldn't see it, and wanted to squeeze in, Zhao Yan pulled him and signaled him not to mix. Yan Qing turned his head with a puzzled expression: "We shouldn't be so snobbish, at least, it's better than a game." ”

Zhao Yan let go of him: "Who called you snobbish, he didn't say a word of truth to us, so let's be fools?" Just looking at me, he is not very distressed and worried, otherwise why would he have opened the mouth to invite everyone to dinner, didn't he send it to people to laugh at? To be able to have such a mind and calmness, what help do we need? ”

Yan Qing thought about it for a while, and gave up the idea of squeezing in to block his lips and tongues.

A group of people were arguing, and suddenly they heard a eunuch coming outside to announce the decree, which made everyone busy and dispersed. raised his voice and said, "Hanlin Academy's cultivation of Qingtong receives the order...... and everyone speculated in their hearts. It wasn't until the decree was read that everyone's mood rose a little more when they saw the excitement, and they discussed with each other for a long time.

Originally, this holy decree was not to increase the rank of official to knighthood, not to give rewards, etc., but to give marriage to the holy decree. After Qingtong rejected the Feng family and offended the Feng family, he got another family business. This marriage is completely incomparable with the former, but it is impossible to push it off. Anyone who knows the "Gong Qiu" mentioned in the holy decree knows that this is a person that no one wants to mention at all, let alone marry. Compared with Gong Qiu, being able to marry Feng Yu is simply cultivated by the eighteenth generation.

Qingtong didn't know who this Gong Qiu was, and after receiving the decree, he twisted his eyebrows and kept staring at the holy decree, as if he wanted to see through the holy decree. Everyone else also had a lot of discussions after the eunuch left.

This thing is too easy to associate, Qingtong offended Feng Shangshu and humiliated the daughter of the Feng family, and the Feng family, in order to retaliate, asked him to marry a woman who was worthless in terms of reputation and temperament, which happened to be round.

I'm afraid that Qingtong doesn't know who this Gongqiu is, and after everyone has discussed it, then Li Houde came to Qingtong very "kindly". He stretched out his head and looked at the words on the holy decree, and said loudly: "I don't know when we will have the opportunity to draw up a decree." ”

Qing Tong was absorbed in thought, startled by his voice, and hurriedly raised his head. Li Houde went to her again, pulled a chair to sit down, looked at her and said, "Do you know who this Gongqiu is?" ”

Qingtong rolled up the holy decree and looked at Li Houde: "I guess you know?" ”

Li Houde was a little proud, leaned in front of Qing Tong, pretended to say, and then changed his words abruptly: "How can there be a reason to tell you in vain?" ”

Qing Tong smiled: "How can it be considered not to be a white confession?" ”

Li Houde looked at her: "Don't you want to invite someone to eat and drink, everyone doesn't eat me, you invite me." Now I am good friends with Zhou Rui and are like brothers. If you are good with me, it depends on my relationship with Zhou Rui...... You get the idea. Just Zhao Yan and Yan Qing, you also saw it, the villains who are wise enough to protect their lives in trouble. ”

Qingtong really understands that this Li Houde is just a dog leg who has become a human being and has discomfort, and wants to find another dog leg for himself. Qingtong smiled, looked at Li Houde with each other, and said with a sincere expression: "Xu I am really not suitable for this way, and I have encountered these things in just a few days." You are still thoughtful, even a person of Zhou Rui's status can get along with each other and admire. ”

Li Houde was quite satisfied with this, changed his posture and said, "That's it, I'll tell you about Gong Qiu." But you have to be mentally prepared, if you faint and die, I won't take you to see the doctor. ”
