Ling Xiao nodded, and said suddenly: "Ashu, do you want to hide the fact that we are going to the capital, don't you want Cousin Hong to know?" ”

The most important thing is to hide it from Lu Qian.

Ling Jingshu hummed perfunctorily.

Ling Xiao thought that Ling Jingshu was in a bad mood for this matter, and comforted him with a smile: "Since you have no intention of being interested in Cousin Hong, it is also reasonable to be distant from him." lest they be entangled and provoke rumors. There is no need to worry about the matter of relatives, and we will talk about it in a year or two. ”

Burdened with the hatred of her previous life, and now suffering from the strange disease of not being able to get close to men, she probably won't marry again in this life

Ling Jingshu smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was not much loss and regret in her heart.

Having a new life and a chance to start over is already a pity of the heavens, and the "flaws" that come with it are not worth mentioning.

After arriving in the capital, it is of course good to have a chance to cure this strange disease. It doesn't matter if it's not cured.

However, this matter had to be kept from Ling Xiao, lest he worry about himself.

Ling Jingshu carefully admonished again: "Uncle and they will leave for Beijing in a few days, and the two of us will have to start packing our bags." Let Jingyu and the others pack their luggage quietly and don't alarm others. ”

"I don't know how long I want to live in the capital, and I pack my clothes all year round. Then bring all the books you want to read on weekdays. ”

Ling Xiao obediently complied

In the next few days, Bai Yu and other maids began to quietly and busily pack their clothes and luggage.

Ling Jingshu strictly ordered all the maids not to spread the news of this matter, and in order to keep it a secret, even the number of times the maids entered and exited the Qiushui Pavilion was strictly controlled.

Ling Xiao lives in the Lama Hall, and it is the most crowded. Fortunately, Old Lady Ling was strictly ordered, and Ling Xiao didn't have much contact with everyone because of his blindness, and no one noticed that the clothes in Ling Xiao's house for the four seasons were wrapped up, and the books he read on a daily basis were also packed up.

Fifth Master Ling went to find Uncle Ling privately, and Old Lady Ling secretly summoned her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun, to the house to talk. What was specifically said, Ling Jingshu didn't know. However, Sun's gaze at her was a little more sympathetic.

It is the mercy of those who think they are superior to the weak.

As long as you can achieve the goal of leaving Dingzhou and going to Luoyang, you don't have to worry about your self-esteem or anything for the time being. What's more, if you want to live in the uncle's mansion in the capital in the future, it is not a bad thing for the aunt Sun to have a little more pity for their sisters and brothers.

As for Lu Qian, he thought that she was still "considering", lest the pressure was too urgent and would disgust her, so he didn't come to harass her in the past few days.

Ling Jingshu has not been idle, she has been secretly packing up for the past few days, and she has to go to Yonghetang from time to time to coax the old lady Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling, who has always been careful in her calculations, was rare in her generosity this time, and secretly prepared a silver ticket of 5,000 taels for Ling Jingshu: "Sister Shu, you and Ah Xiao will go to the capital with your uncle and them tomorrow, and you will bring more silver with you." These silver tickets belong to the Longsheng and can be exchanged at any time when they arrive in Luoyang. Five hundred taels each, a total of ten. You take it all. When I went to the capital to find a famous doctor, as long as I could cure you and Ah Xiao's illness, no matter how much money I spent, I didn't care about it. If the money is not enough, borrow it from your aunt. Or have someone send you a letter, and I will have someone bring you money. ”

Five thousand taels of silver is indeed not too little. When the daughter of the Ling family got married, the dowry was only about 5,000 taels.

However, in his previous life, Uncle Ling was imprisoned, and in order to save people, the Ling family sold most of their wealth and spent tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. These five thousand taels of silver are not much for the Ling family.

Ling Jingshu accepted the silver ticket without any guilt, and her face was about to show a look of gratitude: "Thank you, grandmother." These five thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid they are all grandmother's private rooms, and now they are given to me and Ah Xiao, I really don't know what to say."

All the property of the Ling family was held in the palm of Mrs. Ling's hand, not to mention five thousand taels, even ten times the silver ticket, and Mrs. Ling could take it out. It is impossible for Ling Jingshu not to know this, but what she said in her mouth was very sensational.

Old Mrs. Ling felt relieved when she heard this, she was still a little painful, but she was not distressed at this time, she thought about it and said, "If you go to the capital, you will inevitably go out with Sister Yan as a guest in the future." There is no need to save too much, and the new clothes that should be made still have to be made. I also have two sets of red gold head jewelry suitable for you to wear, and I will let Mo Kui pack them up and send them to Qiushui Pavilion later. ”

That's the side benefit of currying favor.

When the time came to run out of money, the two sets of red gold head jewelry were all sold for cash, which was also a lot of money!

Ling Jingshu's tears rippled with emotion, snuggled up to Mrs. Ling's side, choked up and said, "I have no mother since I was a child, and my father paid little attention to me after he continued to do so. Luckily, my grandmother took pity on me. Being your granddaughter must be a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. ”

I want to vomit when I am numb.

Old Mrs. Ling listened to it very usefully, and generously contributed: "You girl, the grandmother you said is also sad. I also have a box of fine South Sea pearls there, and I have given it to you. ”

This box of South Sea pearls is obviously worth more than those two sets of red gold heads.

Ling Jingshu fell into the arms of Old Lady Ling and cried with a whimper: "Grandmother, you treat me so well, and my granddaughter will definitely double her filial piety to you in the future."

"Well, I'll have some gold and silver for you." Old Lady Ling sighed bitterly.

Don't cry anymore, I won't be able to pull out any more money for my grandmother.

Being able to "pull" so much silver out of Old Lady Ling's hand, Ling Jingshu was also satisfied. wiped his tears and thanked him "sincerely".

Immediately afterwards, he went to Ling Wuye's study.

Mrs. Ling is bloody, so she has to let her biological father also "show her father's love"!

"Father, Ah Xiao and I are leaving Dingzhou tomorrow. I went to Luoyang to visit a famous doctor, I don't know when I will be able to come back, I can't be filial piety by my father's side, and my daughter is really ashamed. Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to his father. ”

Ling Jingshu's eyes were full www.biquge.info of water, and she knelt down as she spoke, kowtowing respectfully three times.

Fifth Master Ling was not hard-hearted, and sighed with some self-reproach: "Ah Xiao is sick, and my father should have taken him to the capital." Now I want you to run thousands of miles to your daughter's house, and if you want to be ashamed, it should be me as a father. ”

Of course, Fifth Master Ling's shame is just talking about it. If he wants to give up the leisurely life of eating, drinking and having fun now, it is absolutely impossible to travel for a long time.

Ling Jingshu couldn't be clearer about Ling Wuye's ruthless temperament, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in her heart, but she replied: "Parents are here, don't travel far." The Ling family is old, the young, and they all rely on their father and fourth uncle to stay at home to support the door, how can they leave lightly. Ah Xiao and I are twin siblings of the same mother, and it is only natural for me to accompany him to the capital. Fathers don't mind. ”

The lame Ling Siye really worked hard to set up the Grange shop, and the Ling family was also indispensable to Ling Siye.

As for Fifth Master Ling, he disdained to manage these trivial matters. He was busy reciting poems every day to drink and socialize, and made great contributions to the prosperity of industries such as Dingzhou Chengqinglou Wine Shop and Painting Boat.

Ling Wuye hadn't cultivated to the point of being brazen in the end, and when Ling Jingshu said this, his face was a little hot. coughed and said: "In short, you accompanied Ah Xiao to Luoyang this time, and it was indispensable to travel around and spend time and energy. If Ah Xiao really has the day to see the light of day again, you will be indispensable. ”

"I only hope that Ah Xiao can cure his eyes, read and learn calligraphy like other young people, make friends, go out and play, and marry a wife and have children in the future."

Ling Jingshu's voice was soft but firm.

Ling Wuye was moved, and was about to say something, when he heard Ling Jingshu say again: "I'm going to the capital to seek medical advice for Ah Xiao." Even if there is a glimmer of hope for a cure, it cannot be given up. In this way, it will probably be a long time to stay in the capital, and it will definitely cost a lot. Just now in Yonghetang, my grandmother had already given me some silver to defend myself. If I don't have enough money, I sell some jewelry and I can always get by. Fathers don't have to worry. ”

Fifth Master Ling: ""
