Chapter 18: Growth
Qin Wan saw that his father's face was abnormally flushed, but his lips were bloodless, and his body couldn't help trembling, so he knew that he was very angry, and said hurriedly: "Cheng Erlang, Cheng Erlang, go and ask for a doctor!" ”
If Cheng Fang had something to do on behalf of the king, they would all be unlucky, so seeing Qin Ke being angry like this, he really regretted it, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. "Hearing Qin Wan say this, he also came back to his senses, and said again and again: "My subordinates will go here." ”
Qin Ke waved his hand weakly and refused: "It's so late now, maybe as soon as you arrive at the city gate, people will lock the door." Even if you can catch it in time, at such a time, which doctor is willing to go to the doctor? There are some chest tightness and shortness of breath on the left and right, and there is no medicine at home, so it's good to boil a pair. ”
"The King's ......"
"Zhao Su called me Da Langjun, you should shout like this!" Qin Ke's expression was gloomy, and he said listlessly, "After so many years, I have already accepted my fate, if I said before, I still had some thoughts and dissatisfaction with such a cautious behavior, from today on, there is no need for such vanity." ”
Cheng Fang was stunned, and before he could say anything, he heard Qin Ke sigh and was weak: "In order to maintain the self-esteem of the royal family, I am lukewarm to you, and I still look down on you a little in my heart, but I never thought that you would leave your hometown for many years because of me, and some of you didn't even marry a daughter-in-law." Now that I think about it, I call myself a gentleman, but I am actually a hypocritical villain. Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Zhao Su, you call your brothers together; Cheng Fang, you let those mothers-in-law clean up some good wine and good food; Let's go back to the house! ”
Hearing Qin Ke's words, Zhao Su and Cheng Fang felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
These two people are human spirits with twists and turns, and they can naturally distinguish that Qin Ke's words are sincere, not a means to buy people's hearts. It is precisely because of this that they are very embarrassed - His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, although his temperament is softer, he is really good. It's a pity, what's the use of good people in a place like Chang'an? Isn't it the sake of being rounded and flattened and living a trembling life?
Anyway, good people also have good benefits, as long as they survive such a hurdle and go back to Chang'an together, with the character of the king who misses the old love so much, how can he not bring them? As for what is the succession, the court struggle, save it until you go back and think about it, anyway, you don't need it now.
Qin Wan looked at his father worriedly, wanting to support him, but Qin Ke shook his head lightly and took his daughter's hand instead.
His steps were a little vain, his breath was a little panting, and he seemed to be weak. But his palms are warm and thick, clenching his daughter's soft little hands, like a big tree, sheltering from the wind and rain, giving the little tree the strength to grow.
In an instant, Qin Wan's tears fell.
Qin Ke was still in a trance, he didn't notice his daughter's affection, and he almost tripped over the threshold, so he was simply pulled by Qin Wan, so there was no big problem.
This kind of movement naturally alarmed July in the house, she saw that Qin Wan's eyes were slightly red, and there were water marks on her cheeks, she was surprised, so she heard Qin Ke ask: "Is Manniang asleep?" ”
July lowered her voice, lest she frighten Shen Man: "The lady just fell asleep." ”
Qin Ke said "oh", but he still entered the door, and said as he walked: "I'll go see Manniang." ”
He was as pale and weak as a wandering spirit, and his mind was a little out of shape, how could July dare to stop him? Just about to be concerned, he suddenly heard Qin Wan say: "Yueniang, let's come out and talk." ”
She said this very coldly, without any emotion, and July was a little frightened, and subconsciously walked out of the door, looking at Qin Wan uneasily, not knowing what this little girl was going to say.
Qin Wan stood quietly at the door, and saw his father slowly walking towards his sleeping mother, sitting on the small pestle in front of her bed, looking at his wife's calm face, lying on her pillow, and crying silently.
Seeing this scene, Qiyue's eyes were slightly red, but he saw Qin Wan gently close the door, turn around, and walk out step by step. July couldn't do it, so he had to follow step by step, and he was a little apprehensive.
Little lady looks like this...... Not quite right! What happened?
"A-Niang-" Qin Wan was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”
As soon as these words came out, July chuckled in his heart, knowing that if this thing was not done well, it would definitely be bad.
She can go from a rough maid to a henchman and maid of a girl in the Guogong Mansion, and then become Shen Man's confidant, even if she is exiled, Shen Man chooses to take the two of them with her. It can be seen how clever and empathetic July is. Because of this, although Qin Wan didn't say it explicitly, July knew that this little master had seen the matter to a good time, and was dissatisfied.
It's no wonder, though.
Qin Wan has been brought up by the king since he was a child, and although he has a good relationship with his parents, he is obviously more affectionate to his father. As for the acting king, he also loves Qin Wan like a treasure, and he obeys his words, even if Shen Man has another child, he can't replace Qin Wan's status.
That's right, even if Shen Man has another son, the result will be the same.
The gender of the children and the qualifications for reading are really destined by God, and it is useless to force them. Even if Shen Man's birth is a son, can he guarantee that he is as smart, as smart, and as beautiful as Qin Wan? Even if the child were as good as his brother and sister, could the king leave his daughter's schoolwork behind and teach his son alone? Besides, if you return to Beijing in the past few years, those concubines will have to make trouble, and there will be things to worry about in the court, which is destined to distract time and energy; If there is no way to go back, Qin Wan will grow up day by day...... It's nothing for Xiao Langjun to get married later, how can the little lady afford to delay? At that time, the acting king is more painful to inherit his sister-in-law? Or is it because of him, who is obviously better than anyone else, but has been wronged in marriage?
Shen Man didn't like Zhao Su, in addition to feeling that this person was too anxious, wasn't there some reason why he was dissatisfied with the close relationship between Qin Wan and Zhao Jiu? Even if he doesn't mention his heart as a mother, even from the perspective of interests, Shen Man can't get estranged from Qin Wan. Although it is a little cold, utilitarian, and impersonal, it is an ironclad fact.
Thinking of this, July couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he was busy arguing in his mouth: "Little lady, how can you say such a heart-wrenching word? ”
"Oh? Am I not right? Qin Wan looked at Qiyue coldly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't A-Niang not plan to accept Yanxiang from the beginning, but just wanted to make this ignorant and stupid woman self-righteous, humiliate Aya, and make Aya disgusted with the concubine?" ”
July knew that Qin Wan was smart and assertive, but she didn't expect that she would be able to guess Shen Man's intentions at such a young age. Because of this, July did not dare to be perfunctory at will, lest it cause a greater disagreement between the mother and daughter. After thinking about it for a while, she understood the main reason why Qin Wan was angry - Qin Wan was born in exile and did not enjoy the glory and wealth, but he got all the love of his parents.
Under the subtle behavior that Qin Ke has always made because of guilt, Qin Wan believes that the feelings of his parents are sincere, not mixed with a trace of utilitarianism, and Shen Man is the only person in the world who can accompany Qin Ke to suffer. Because of this, once it was discovered that Shen Man had used means against Qin Ke and deliberately calculated, how could Qin Wan be happy?
"You, you don't know......" July's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears, "The lady is bitter in her heart!" ”
Qin Wan is a child in the end, even if he pretends to be cold on his face, he still cares very much in his heart, and he doesn't want to believe that his mother is really willing to make his father sad, so he asked, "What do you say?" ”
"The king has a widow, who is a palace maid who has served him since he was a child, and talks about the love of the palace and the righteousness of the East Palace every day. After the lady passed the door, she didn't know how much suffering she had suffered, and even the son born by this woman was only one year younger than her eldest brother. "Thinking of the hardships that accompanied Shen Man in the past, July, who was a little pretentious at the beginning, is really sad now, "The king abides by his duty and does not spoil his concubine and kill his wife, but the couple is so polite that they are like a stranger. The lady is bitter in her heart, and she has no way to say it, so she can only live by her eldest brother. But the woman still had to make it bad, and the eldest brother read well, and was rewarded with an inkstone by the sage, and she also cried and begged the king to find it for her son; The lady went out of the private room to buy some good things for the eldest brother, and she also cried and begged the king; The king asked the eldest brother to be the heir, and she hugged her two sons and cried, and the king helped them buy land and property. If not, if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the eldest brother, for the sake of the lady's face, the king would not be able to ask for a concubine. Coupled with the rules of my dynasty, you can't attack the lord without a son-in-law, that woman's eldest son has already entered the house, how can there be a little lady born of you! ”
July cried as he spoke, tears were like beads with broken threads, and Qin Wan's heart was pumped out of tears, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Since she can remember, her parents have been kind and loving, and her face has never been red, how could she have thought that Shen Man's life had been so difficult? Thinking of this, Qin Wan lowered his head and said with some sneer: "Yueniang, I ......"
Qin Wan can even see Shen Man's interlocking methods, even if she submits quickly, her position is easy to change, and she doesn't dare to treat her as a child in July, so she simply adds fuel and vinegar, and cries: "If it is not a last resort, who is willing to use means against his husband?" The lady does not reject the concubine, she just, she just suffered too much from Zhou Hongying. Even the death of the eldest brother has an inexplicable relationship with this woman, but the king doesn't believe it......"
"That's it!" Qin Wan raised his voice and interrupted Qiyue's words.
Realizing that his attitude seemed to be a bit strict, Qin Wan said a little dryly: "Aya wants to entertain the people of the Northern Ya Army, you go to the stove and have a look!" I ......" she sighed, and sat down weakly on the stone bench, her hands on the stone table, and her head buried deep in her arms. Her voice was very soft and soft, like a dream, revealing indescribable confusion and grievance, "I want to be quiet." ”
Seeing this, July was a little worried, but he couldn't resist Qin Wan, so he had to leave step by step, sighing as he walked.
The little lady is true to sex and treats people sincerely, which is naturally excellent, but ...... It's time for her to grow up, too.
