Chapter 296: Seeking the King
Qing'er and Xi shed tears to say goodbye, although there was the pain of parting in their hearts, but more of them were full of expectations.
She knows Xi's ambitions and ambitions too well, and it is difficult for him to suffer so much, and she can finally fulfill her long-cherished wish when she thinks about it.
What made Qing'er even more excited was the affirmation of King Mu and his wife.
The day before parting, the princess summoned her to King Mu to chat for a while, and the prospective mother-in-law also gave her a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets.
Qing'er didn't expect the marriage to go so smoothly, and the prince and princess would be satisfied with such a big-footed daughter-in-law!
Although this jade bracelet was given without a name, Qing'er sweetly regarded it as a bride price.
In the carriage, even Qing'er, who should be the most sad, was in a good mood, not to mention Jiuwen, this time he was very famous.
Jiuwen and his entourage were delayed in Muzhou for three days, and they didn't want thousands of people to rush to Muzhou from Yunzhou to see him off. Although the two places are not far away, more than 1,000 people came on foot!
These people are mainly untouchables in Yunzhou, and they don't send any "Wanmin Table" like the people of Pingxian County, but make up a lot of simple folk songs, and send them all the way to sing them.
After more than ten miles with the horse team, Jiuwen had to go out of the car and thank him seven or eight times before these people finally stopped.
Qing'er, Sun Yuanwai and others were so moved that they couldn't wipe their tears, and Du Jiuwen was the most indifferent.
One day, Jiuwen suddenly sighed: "I really didn't expect that the untouchables actually have a heart, and they know gratitude!" ”
This sentence was grabbed by Qing'er by the pigtail, and it hurt him all the way. Every day, we are obliged to preach to them the concept of equality for all and equal rights for men and women.
With a flick of his fingers, Jiuwen and his entourage returned to Zhongdu.
From Yunzhou, which is like spring all year round, I returned to the middle capital of the trees at first glance. The group was really a little uncomfortable.
It's already winter!
What surprised them even more was that Jiuwen's folk songs seemed to have grown wings and had been sung in the streets and alleys of Zhongdu.
With such a big movement, how could Emperor Yuan not know?
After Emperor Yuan heard the faces of Jiuwen and Qing'er with his own ears, he was even more happy, praised the two of them fiercely, and issued an order the next day:
Xiao Wuxun, the ninth prince, was named the "King of Waste". Fiefdom Yunzhou.
Lu Qing was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, from the fourth grade.
Dai Zhongge was removed from all positions.
Qing'er had already saved her mind about going to Muzhou, and she didn't take it to heart about the five or four products at all.
Be that as it may. Celebration still can't be avoided. It's just that I didn't expect that just entertaining guests and setting up a banquet would take up a full seven days! It caused her to sleep at home for another three days before she could slow down her drinking.
This Tianqing'er was full of spirits, so she said that she wanted to find Xiao Er to go out for a walk. Cai'er hurriedly stopped:
"Xiao Er can't move now! Just when you fell asleep. Mrs. Xiao has broken the water, and now she has been giving birth for more than an hour, and I estimate that the child is about to fall into the grass. ”
Qing'er was overjoyed and was about to rush out to help.
Cai'er sneered: "You can save it!" With your outfit, Wen Po won't let you into the house. Besides, your eldest girl's family, where did you run around in that kind of place? By the way, I just made the decision to give Xiao Er the past twenty taels of silver, and he walked with you for half a year. It's not easy to leave Xiao Niangzi here alone! You have to feel less. Add another one. ”
Qing'er smiled, she only had a few dollars a month, where could she afford it.
She squinted at Cai'er's exaggerated belly and asked, "Your belly is so big, can you wait for two months?" ”
Cai'er touched her stomach with her hand and said with a smile: "The melon is ripe, can you be in a hurry about this kind of thing?" ”
Qing'er secretly calculated that according to this, she would only have to wait for another three or four months, and wait for Cai'er to give birth to the child and send it to Xi's aunt to take care of it.
At that time, winter had also passed, and Xiao Er's child was also four months old, so they could go on the road together.
The thought of being able to escape from Zhongdu in four months made Qing'er's heart fly.
After thinking about it, I was busy socializing these days, and I didn't have time to visit Jiuwen, so I simply went to the cattery to say goodbye.
Jiuwen's fiefdom is really amazing! It's only half a day's journey from Muwang's Mansion, and everyone is a relative, so it's too convenient to move around in the future!
I don't want Qing'er to feel that Jiuwen's expression is wrong as soon as she enters the door.
After asking, I found out that Jiuwen had written twice to ask for the fiefdom, but there was no news. The day before yesterday, he went to face Chen, but was directly rejected by the emperor and asked him to stay in the central capital.
Qing'er smiled when she heard this: "You are really a quick temper!" Are you really in love with Yunzhou? It's only been a few days since I came back, and I'm in a hurry to go back, so the emperor is naturally reluctant. ”
Jiuwen glanced at her and scolded, "What do you know! The rules of our Longchang Kingdom are not as good as yours, and after receiving the seal, you will go out of the middle capital for three days, and the brothers above will also do the same. ”
"So there's still this rule! We don't have an emperor there, so we don't understand these things. Qing'er thought for a while, and then asked puzzledly, "But how can three days be enough?" It's too late to pack your bags? ”
Jiuwen said impatiently: "The things made by hand go first with the person, and the rest are slowly transported, this is not the point!" ”
When Qing'er heard this, she tasted something, slapped the table and shouted:
"I see! The emperor thinks that you have done a good job on these two errands, and wants to keep you as a helper. The emperor was very satisfied with the case in Pingxian County last time, and he was going to seal you ......"
It wasn't until she said this that she suddenly understood why Jiuwen was so annoyed.
Jiuwen got a fief, but people did not leave Zhongdu, which is equivalent to another special case. It is clear that they are going to be jealous, and the fourth prince and the eighth prince will fight against the same enemy and deal with Jiuwen together!
Qing'er thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Look at me, I'm also being taken into the ditch by you!" There is a way that is different from the past, now that the west is the son of the world, there is King Mu to support you, what are you afraid of! Why don't I tell West first? ”
Jiuwen shook his head slightly: "Forget it, it's better to rely on people than to rely on them." I've thought about it, so I can do things for the court and share worries for the monarch, and it is enough for the emperor to protect me. Anyway, I don't stand in line, I'm not right about things or people, no matter who gets the unification in the future, I have to be able to work, right? ”
Qing'er could hear that this was a scene, and she had the heart to comfort her, but she really couldn't think of words.
Thinking that she was hiding from Jiuwen and would secretly go to Muzhou to marry someone in a few months, I felt even more that it was a bit unconfessing to do so, and I couldn't live with my friends.
Therefore, after chatting with Jiuwen for a while, he hurriedly left.
Seeing that the sun had not yet set, Qing'er simply went to her uncle's house in the west to deliver a letter, and contacted her to help Cai'er.
Xi's uncle and aunt read the family letter and learned that Xi had become the son of the prince, and they were sincerely happy for him.
Qing'er savored their words and deeds, these two elders neither had the intention of scolding their relatives, nor did they come to that set of fake Qinggao, thousands of miles away from people, but Qing'er couldn't help but take a look.
After saying goodbye and walking on the way home, Qing'er quietly woke up to the fact that she looked at the second elder from the perspective of her daughter-in-law, which was inevitably biased. (To be continued.) )
