Chapter Ninety-Six: First Arrival in the Capital
Half a month's journey was finally over, and Ling'er, who was still in high spirits at the beginning, was completely pretending to be dead in the next few days, and there was no way who would let her get motion sickness? Strange to say, I didn't feel it at all for the first few days, but then it got worse day by day.
"Girl, we have entered the capital, where are we going now?" Liu Er also came to the capital for the first time, but fortunately he didn't look around like most of those first-time visitors, which was inseparable from Min'er's usual admonition.
"Let's go to the inn first, Feng Niang said, outside the South City Gate." Min'er said while taking care of Ling'er.
"Sister, let's not go, let's come in through the north city gate, then we have to go through the entire capital." Ling'er said weakly.
"So where are we going? We are not familiar with the inn in this capital. "Min'er doesn't want to go to that unfamiliar place, what if she encounters a black shop? At this moment, Liu Er, who was outside the car, said:
"Miss Ling, there is a son named Qianli who wants to see you." When Ling'er heard this, she sat up hard, looked out of the car window, and saw that it was indeed Qianli.
"Qianli Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's a pity that I can't go out to see each other when I'm unwell." Ling'er's weak voice came from the car, and Qianli said:
"Miss Ling, we are not outsiders, there are no such false courtesies, Sima Gongzi has prepared a house for you and asked the girl to go with me."
"Then it's a matter of annoyance." After a while, Ling'er's voice came out, and everyone followed Qianli's carriage towards the destination.
"You girl, why are you so sloppy?" Min'er very much disagreed with Ling'er doing this.
"Sister, what I need most now is rest, I am a partner with that Sima Gongzi, and I will have to rely on him for things in the capital in the future." Ling'er forced herself to finish speaking, Min'er wanted to say something more, but she swallowed all the words when she looked like that.
Qianli took them to a courtyard house located in the bustling area of the capital, and because Ling'er was relatively weak, Min'er just took a brief look and agreed. Lan Xin and the others quickly divided labor and cooperated, and quickly took care of the luggage, and Ling'er also moved to the west of the main house, and finally arrived at the destination, Ling'er's suffering was over, which made her feel very good.
"Ling'er, you sleep for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." After Min'er settled Ling'er, she took Lan Xin to the kitchen at the end of the West Wing, because she didn't bring the cook to Min'er so she had to do it herself, and it was better to do it yourself than to eat Liu Er's big and rough cooking.
"Girl, it's better for me and Sister Lan Xin to do it, you can also go and rest." Qiao'er followed to the kitchen and saw that the things inside were very complete, even the rice and flour oil were properly prepared.
"I'm not tired, how can you cook for so many people, wait for a few days when we're busy, find a cook." Min'er said neatly and began to prepare dinner, it seems that this Sima Chen is not bad, not only helped to find a house but also took care of it well, whether it is hygiene or everything is very complete, even if they don't take anything but people come, there is no problem at all.
"Girl, Qianli Gongzi said that he still has something to do and will leave first, let me tell you, he said that the day after tomorrow at noon, the two girls will have dinner and wash the dust for you." Zhao Ji ran to the kitchen and said, Min'er nodded when she heard it:
"Well, I know, you asked Zhao Kang to bring him the gift he prepared for Sima Gongzi, and said that we will definitely go the day after tomorrow, and Ling'er will not leave him for dinner if he is unwell today." Zhao Kang is older than Zhao Ji, and Ling'er told Min'er that she wanted to train him to be the housekeeper of the house in the capital.
"Yes, girl, I'll go." Zhao Ji ran quickly.
This courtyard is not big, but it is not small to say that it is small, and it is a courtyard of one and a half. There is a small courtyard in front, and when you enter from the gate, you have to pass through this small courtyard to really enter the courtyard, and at this time Qianli is preparing to leave in that small courtyard.
Ling'er slept and ate Min'er's love meal, which made her regain a lot of energy, and she was leaning on the kang head to read a book at this time.
"What are you reading this night?" Min'er took the book away and said angrily.
"Isn't it boring to sleep too much during the day?" Ling'er smiled and didn't speak, she also knew that reading with an oil lamp hurt her eyes.
"Then let's talk about some serious things, we just can't read books anyway." Min'er also lay down on the kang, and the two were used to being in the same room since childhood.
"Okay, sister, what do you want to say?" Ling'er saw that Min'er was very serious, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart.
"It's not me who says, but you say that I want to hear the truth." Min'er said with great certainty.
"Sister, let's not bring this, let me say something without a head, you have to ask me before I can answer." Ling'er really hopes that her worries are unfounded.
"Okay, let's explain it one by one." In fact, Min'er is not sure, she was just deceiving Ling'er just now, and now it seems that she guessed correctly, this little girl really has something to hide from her, hum, it's a little bit, see how you clean her up?
"How many are there? I can't promise I know it all. Ling'er's heart sank, if she knew that she could still see the sun tomorrow?
"First of all, do you know about Aunt Liu?" Min'er didn't ask her what she wanted to ask the most, and everything was about a process.
"Well, I know something about this, I was going to say it, but I forgot about it when I got there." Ling'er laughed dryly, in fact, she really didn't mean to hide this from Min'er, but she couldn't help but feel a little weak when she hid something in her heart, so she didn't talk to Min'er much these days.
"If you know, just say it." Min'er wanted to laugh when she saw Ling'er's look like she was coming to ask me about something, but now was not the time to laugh, so she had to hold back.
"Aunt Liu's identity is indeed not ordinary, and I only learned about it through Sima Chen. She is the third daughter of the Liu family in the four major families in the capital, and she became famous in the capital at the age of thirteen. When he was fifteen years old, his father made the decision and promised Wei Xianren, the second son of Wei Shicheng, the prime minister of Zuo, as a wife, but before that person was a year, he married a concubine with two or three rooms, and never entered her courtyard again.
Her father-in-law divorced her on the grounds that she had nothing to do, and on the third day after her departure, he married the cousin of the soldier's squire. Aunt Liu was retired and returned to the Liu family, and at this time the head of the Liu family was her eldest brother, and her parents died. Aunt Liu disappeared half a year later, which still attracted a lot of attention in the capital at that time, and everyone speculated about her whereabouts. At that time, the head of the Liu family said to the outside world that her health was not good and she went to Jiangnan to recuperate, but after a long time, the truth slowly spread through the descendants of the Liu family. It turned out that Aunt Liu was forced to run away from home, and her eldest brother had always felt stealing people because of her divorce, coupled with the arrogance of her ex-brother-in-law, he lost face in officialdom and shopping malls.
In order to save the reputation of the Liu family, he planned to send his second daughter to the palace, but he was afraid that there was an aunt in the family who had been divorced and would be affected, so he treated Aunt Liu even more excessively. Aunt Liu has always been very forbearing, but she didn't expect that the so-called eldest brother actually wanted to poison her, and then lied to the public about suicide. This incident was heard and told to Aunt Liu, and in order to save her life, she had to leave the house quietly overnight, and there was no news so far. ”
After finishing speaking, Ling'er drank a few glasses of water vigorously before she moistened her throat, and Min'er asked in disbelief after hearing this:
"Is there a mistake? Didn't she say she was from the North County Government? He also said that he was married to a person surnamed Wang. ”
"Sister, are you really real, do you believe what people say? Besides, how could Aunt Liu tell us her true identity? Ling'er resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"That's right, I didn't expect Aunt Liu's eldest brother to be so inhumane, if I don't tell the truth, what if he knows about it, something may happen?" For Min'er, who grew up in a small mountain village, she can't understand the family and friendship in this so-called big family.
"Sister, this is not difficult to understand, although we haven't seen it with our own eyes, but the stories in the book are not less." Ling'er wanted to talk about the doorway, but she was afraid that Min'er would find out something, so she had to give up.
"Aren't all the stories in the books made up?" Min'er's eyes widened.
"My sister, there is no real thing, who will watch it if it is completely made up? Things in reality may be more exciting than those written in the storybook, but we just don't know. "Ling'er has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, and the history she studied when she was a student proves this.
"Hey, Ling'er, why did I suddenly feel homesick after hearing about Aunt Liu, this capital is really not a place for us to stay." Min'er sighed.
"Who says we can't stay? Maybe in the future, our family will be the fifth largest family in this capital. Ling'er listened to Min'er's words and didn't say any more, in fact, she wanted to tell Min'er about Yi Jun'an, but seeing her reaction, she thought it was better to wait and talk.
"Hehe, just say what you say in front of me, don't talk about it when you go out. Sometimes I always think that it would be nice if you were a boy, but it's a pity that ......" Min'er didn't know what she remembered, her eyes were moist all of a sudden, Ling'er also felt sour when she saw this, it is estimated that she thought of Zhao Shu.
She had already asked Sima Chen to help her find out the news of Zhao Shu, but there was never a word coming, and I don't know how he was doing? Not to mention that Min'er is sad when she thinks of him, isn't it the same for herself?
Ling'er and Min'er's first night in the capital was spent in insomnia and tears, I wonder if this indicates that their future life in the capital will not be as smooth as before?
