Chapter 60: The Actor and the Imperial Doctor
Congratulations on winning the lottery again, wait for me for twenty minutes, here's what the chapter is.
On the 24th day of the lunar month, the news that Li Mao took dozens of people out of Beijing early in the morning spread all over the capital. Some said that he went out to supervise the officials who were not effective in disaster relief, some said that he went to supervise the post road, and some people thought about whether too many Fenzhou war horses froze to death according to his official position, and he went to inspect it.
In short, after Li Mao left, many officials' wives handed over posts to the house, saying that they were courteous before the New Year's Day and walked around.
Li Mao had repeatedly told Gu Qing before leaving, and the other party had also said it countless times, and the two of them naturally didn't dare to respond to anyone's post. What's more, they don't know what Li Mao is going to do, if someone comes, they really explain it like this, and they don't believe it, but they will think that they are perfunctory, so they simply push everyone except for relatives at home.
Because the imperial court sent people to clean and repair the frozen roads, the path to Tongzhou and Fenzhou was soon opened.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the convoy of gifts in Li Jun's house arrived, and more than 20 cars came, which made Qingshuifang, which had been quiet for a long time, lively.
Most of the cars are loaded with some special products from Jingnan, as well as some rare wild things. It's a pity that Gu Qing is not the original owner, Li Shuo and Li Meng, who like these, are dead, and Li Mao was not born in Jingnan, let alone the Fang family.
Therefore, the two masters in the mansion looked at the gift list, but they did not show their joy as the Li family's servants expected.
"I can still understand this wind sheep and wind deer, what is this soup sheep?" Gu Qing pointed to the gift list, she can now understand most of the traditional Chinese characters, since she began to recognize words, she began to read all kinds of lists and posts by herself, sometimes she saw some inexplicable, after listening to other people's explanations, she also felt very interesting.
"Soup sheep is to put the slaughtered and cleaned sheep outdoors to freeze, and then put them whole. When you want to eat, boil water to remove hair, do not peel the skin, and stew the skin and meat together, which makes the taste more delicious. "Yanyun's mother works as an errand in the kitchen, so she knows more about these." Otherwise, the old lady tastes this soup of sheep at night? ”
"Well, I still don't." Gu Qing felt that he had no appetite when he heard that he didn't peel the skin.
Li Jun, who had been looking forward to his family's convoy arriving in Beijing, was finally relieved to see that the gifts had entered the house smoothly.
Although he is the concubine of the family, his family is not a family without rules, and he really throws his heirs out of the house to fend for himself. When his mother-in-law heard that he was going to Beijing, she did not stop him, except for sneering and sneering for several days; His father added a thick gift list to this year's feast, and his grandmother didn't say anything.
I'm afraid that as soon as I heard that he was leaving, I couldn't wait to send money and someone to let him go.
Li Laowu, the old servant of Li Jun's family, felt that his trip was too difficult, he pressed a cart of food and clothing to go to Beijing, but he saw many hungry and cold people along the way, but he couldn't take down the things on the car to relieve him, and his heart was really uncomfortable. If these are the products of his family, it is fine, but they are sent to the Chinese government in Beijing, and they can't make any mistakes.
Li Lao Wu talked in detail about the situation along the way after he and Li Jun separated. He almost watched Li Jun grow up, and when Li Jun was different from others, he chattered for a long time before he followed the young master at the door to kowtow to the old lady, and kowtowed to the Duchess of Guo a few times outside the East Garden.
After he gave New Year's goods and gifts, he was supposed to return to his hometown. It's just that this trip encountered heavy snowfall, and the journey was extremely long, and now I am afraid that I will have to spend the New Year on the road, so I have to stay in the Xinguo Mansion to spend the New Year before I can turn back.
Because Li Lao Wu was in charge and an old man of his uncle's family, the Fang family did not arrange him in the servant's room in the side courtyard like other subordinates who pressed the car, but let him go to the small courtyard where Li Jun lived in the West Garden and set up a hut.
Li Lao Wu followed the eldest young master all the way, and when he saw the pavilions and pavilions of the Guogong Mansion, his mouth couldn't close in surprise.
"Young Master, do all the adults in Beijing live like this? How many people live in hundreds of rooms? "The Li family is also a wealthy gentry in Jingnan, with countless fertile fields and hundreds of tenants, but the house they live in is only a fraction of the size of this West Garden.
"It's not all like this, only the Jin State Mansion and the Xinguo Mansion are of this specification. This Shinkoku Mansion was given by the emperor, so it is particularly spacious. Li Jun smiled and said, "How many people live in hundreds of rooms? I didn't see it anyway, but my cousin and grandmother lived in the courtyard where you kowtowed just now, and there were only a dozen of them. ”
"But only a dozen? Young Master, I found that you went to Beijing, and you didn't even speak the same way. Li Lao Wu said with a sigh, "There are those officials and masters." ”
"Me? Official? I'll be able to make a name for myself in the future, and I'll be happy to have some rice every month. Li Jun shook his head and laughed at himself, "The so-called 'living and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body', you probably saw me stay in the mansion for a few days, and you thought I was different." ”
"Anyway, the eldest young master is really the right person to come to Beijing this time. The old lady is so charitable, and now I see that several masters in the mansion are very good to you. Young Master, you ...... You've finally made it out. ”
"yes." Li Jun looked at the sky in the distance, and the clouds were black and red.
"It's finally getting through."
The clouds were dark and red, and Qin Tianjian predicted that hailstorms might occur this winter, and announced that the roofs must be reinforced in poor areas and areas where street vendors flowed, so every household began to renovate their houses, and the price of wood and stone doubled.
In this year's capital, it doesn't look like it's a New Year, but like a house is being built in the city.
The house of the Shinkoku Mansion had already been renovated once last year when it was out of filial piety, so there was no need to make a big move. It's just that some pavilions and pavilions, as well as the houses originally built for elegance in Guitianyuan, all need to be reinforced.
For a time, the craftsmen of the house, under the leadership of the housekeeper and the stewards, carried tools and materials around to trim.
There are female dependents living in the North Garden, and the old man is not there in the East Garden, so when they arrive somewhere, the female dependents and girls in a certain place have to retreat. Today, when he was about to repair to the pastoral residence, Gu Qing simply took the girls and her mother-in-law out of the North Park and went to the playground in the West Garden to see Li Rui practicing martial arts.
Hehe, a sturdy man and a brave boy fighting together or something, it's also a landscape.
Since Li Rui began to grow taller, he has rapidly lost weight, and his originally obese figure has gradually become strong muscles because of exercise and dieting.
If in the first few months, he could only be said to be a sturdy fat man, but after the winter, anyone who looked at him would only think that he was a slightly fat and sturdy young man.
If such a figure is paired with a face like Li Jun, it will naturally be a typical Li family, but Li Rui has perfectly inherited his father's facial features and his grandfather's sword eyebrows, and his appearance combines the two characteristics of clarity and fortitude. It looks indescribably comfortable.
It's just that his face is still a little fat, and his appearance is not obvious, when his body is fully expanded, and all the "baby fat" on his face is reduced, I am afraid that he will become the kind of handsome guy who can make Gu Qing pull out of the road and go to the street.
At this time, Li Rui was wearing a thin jacket and Master Jiang were competing in boxing, the two of them came and went, and the fist wind was gusting, although Li Rui was far less experienced than Master Jiang, but he had great strength, and he was not afraid to fight against Master Jiang.
Gu Qing is a layman, so he can't see that the punches they play are good or bad, but he also feels that this boxing move is very neat and neat, and the moves are all aimed at the key points, and it is not a fancy routine.
Li Rui was swept to the ground by Master Jiang, and was preparing for a "carp fight", but found that Gu Qing was standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a group of girls and mothers-in-law with a smile, and hurriedly got up from the ground and shouted "grandma" with a smile.
Mr. Jiang, who taught Li Rui boxing, is thirty years old, but he is still an old bachelor, and he lives with his hometown generals on weekdays, does not move around, and only comes to the West Garden when he teaches. He had never seen so many beautiful girls before, and seeing that Gu Qing had brought so many girls over, he hurriedly recalled whether his punches were majestic or not, and his eyes were not sharp enough.
Hey, it's too cold today, so I'm wearing a single coat. knew that there were so many little ladies coming over, so he didn't wear it. If he shows his strong chest muscles and majestic physique, a few little ladies who can't be hooked will be moved, and then ...... Hey, hey.
I can't say that I can take off the hat of this "old bachelor".
Gu Qing saw that the martial master who taught boxing showed a "Y-dang" smile to him, and suddenly his cold hair stood on end, goosebumps ran around, and he couldn't speak for a long time touching his face.
Even her sallow skin and wrinkled face can provoke this man to show this kind of expression?
Is it because he stays in the house all day and is too "", or is she so charming that people can ignore the ditch of age? No wonder although he had only seen him two or three times, he always smiled and flattered her when he saw her.
If it doesn't work, falling in love with her is a point of no return, and she can't pit this uncle.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Li Rui looked at his grandmother who was suddenly distracted strangely.
"Huh?" What the?
As soon as Gu Qing raised his eyes, he saw the white vapor steaming above Li Rui's head, which was all a mist formed by sweating too much. She saw that Li Rui was sweating profusely, but she didn't mean to wipe it off at all, so she hurriedly said unhappily: "On this cold day, how can you stand in the limelight with a sweat?" Wipe it off! Qing Lei, hurry up and bring the robe in your hand to your master! ”
Gu Qing commanded the girl behind him to hand Li Rui a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and asked Li Rui's new companion to bring over the coat and padded jacket he was holding.
When the big girls Xiangyun and Yanyun heard the old lady's order, they hurriedly took out the handkerchief in their arms and went to wipe Li Rui's head, face and neck. Qi Yun and Jia Yun took the padded jacket and coat from Qing Lei and Qing Shuang's hands, and began to put them on for Li Rui.
The girls around the old lady have always been carefully selected girls, whether it is appearance, figure or personality, they are all first-class. In addition, Gu Qing has a generous personality, and likes to see beautiful little girls revolving around her, often giving clothes and jewelry, and the four first-class girls around her are dressed up and behaved, but they are like many ladies.
In fact, the four big girls are not much different from the ladies of the small family, except for doing some things around the old lady, they never do other rough work, and the four big girls also have rough girls to serve. Being able to become a first-class girl was originally something that everyone in the mansion envied, not to mention that it was assigned to Old Taijun Qiu!
Master Jiang watched a group of beautiful girls work around this little kid who had just begun to grow hair, and looked at his chest expressionlessly.
He was born in the north and was not afraid of the cold, although it was cold, he only wore a single dress when he practiced martial arts. At this time, the single coat was already soaked with sweat and stuck to the skin on the chest.
Not to mention, it's really a bit cold when the north blows.
He glanced at Li Rui enviously, and then at Mrs. Qiu.
Hey, don't say that there are no red sleeves around to add fragrance, not even a kind grandmother.
Old lady, he also has sweat on his body, and he is also cold, can you let the little girls in the back also wipe him!
Gu Qing had been paying attention to this sturdy man, but when he glanced at Li Rui, he glanced at himself with a "resentful" look, and was almost taken a few steps back.
No, no, no, no, no, right? Does he want her, a bad old woman, to wipe his sweat?
It's too heavy, she can't accept it!
Gu Qing plucked up his courage and persuaded in a bitter tone: "Master Jiang, although you are young and in good health, you still have to pay attention to keeping warm. I don't wipe the sweat on my head and body, so it's not good if I blow a headwind. ”
Maybe Li Xiaopang learned from his master, so he didn't have the habit of wiping his sweat after punching. This is not good, the evaporation of water will take away the heat, and it is really easy to catch a cold.
"Mother Yuan, take a handkerchief and wipe it for Master Jiang."
Woo woo woo, Master Jiang, don't say that the old body is not righteous. This Mrs. Yuan is only forty this year, has been widowed for 20 years, and has no children, if you like the old, she is much younger than me......
Jiang Jingyi looked at the half-old's mother-in-law with a sluggish expression, twisted her body and leaned over, and put a handkerchief on him, which frightened a spirit, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
He wiped his head and face with his sleeves, and then took the thick coat on the bench next to him, and panicked so much that he reversed his left and right.
"Don't dare to bother Mama, I'm used to being alone, come by yourself, ah, don't come! I'll do it myself! ”
He swore that the woman's veil was on his breast! He wants to be touched by the little lady, but he is not the old woman!
…… Even if it's not a young and beautiful little girl, you can't give him a mother-in-law!
Jiang Jingyi glanced at Gu Qing with grief and indignation. !!
He, he, he, he, his expression is even more resentful!
It seems that he doesn't look down on Mrs. Yuan!
What to do?
"Master Jiang is also thirty this year, right?" Gu Qing put on a loving expression that most resembled an old lady.
"Mrs. Yu, there are two out of thirty juniors." Jiang Jingyi clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes shining.
Hey? Is it to be a matchmaker for him? I heard that these old ladies in the backyard like to be matchmakers the most!
"Thirty-two, that one year older than the old son." Master Jiang, you see, you are as big as my 'son'! Wake up! Sunset red is going to sink the pond!
"My little grandson is eight years old, why hasn't Master Jiang started a family yet?"
If you have a psychological problem, you have to solve it quickly, man!
'Sure enough, there is a play! When asked about starting a family, you must be a matchmaker! ’
Jiang Jingyi couldn't wait to roar at the sky three times.
He has to think about how to answer, if he accidentally answers wrong, maybe the lady will be gone!
"The younger generation has been poor since childhood, and there are many sons in the family, so they can't support me, so they passed the younger generation to a veteran who can't have children as an heir. After the father left, the younger generation took the position of the father and entered the military camp, and was transferred to the border in the bitter cold. There are few women in the border pass, and they are all healthy women with big shoulders and round waists, and the younger generations are more picky, that ......" Jiang Jingyi smiled embarrassedly, "plus there are no elders in the family, and after a few years, the marriage has been ruined."
Old lady, I don't want a big waist and a round waist! I'm picky!
Ask the "elders" to be the masters!
When Gu Qing heard this, he was still a "picky", and he would rather lack than abuse.
It's a matter of personal preference, and if you are stubborn, it will be difficult to turn it around. It's not an important person, since it's so troublesome, she should come to the small playground a few times next time.
Hey, a thirty-two-year-old bachelor, don't hold back the problem in the house.
"No wonder the three gentlemen have gone home on vacation, and Master Jiang is still staying in the house to teach his old grandson, Master Jiang is really hard." There is no home to go back to during the Chinese New Year, and she stays to urge her grandson to practice martial arts and strengthen her body every day, what kind of professionalism is this!
"At your age, there is no woman in charge of it at home, and it is indeed ......"
Gu Qing began to think.
Jiang Jingyi was overjoyed!
Ahhh Is it finally time to give the little girl? I heard that when these big families are happy, they will match the girls around them to good people! He has a solid net worth, he doesn't have to serve his in-laws when he marries, he has a field and a house in his hometown, so it's right to choose him!
He just saw that there were many girls in the capital, maybe he could please his daughter-in-law, so he followed Master Zhang into Beijing!
Happiness came so quickly that he was a little caught off guard.
"In this way, there are a lot of official and private media in Beijing. Wait for the New Year, give the old body to the master, and give Master Jiang a long vacation. You inquire in the matchmakers of all parties, and then look at each other in Beijing, but there are any suitable people who want to marry their daughters. If it is on the same page, our house will be a big matchmaker for you, and the cost of matchmaking and marriage, our house will come out for you. ”
"Master Jiang, do you think this is good?"
If you want to be old or slender, he chooses it himself, and she pays for him, which is interesting enough, right?
Jiang Jingyi was stunned. Hey? Don't you want to give a girl? What about the girl who said it was good?
"Master Jiang, you still don't thank Grandma." Li Rui pushed the master who was already flattered to the point of flattery, "Find a master for the apprentice in the coming year!" Spring is going to be hot again, and you don't want to smell the sour smell on your body all the time! ”
He's going to faint in the summer, okay? He didn't wash his clothes for a few days, even if he had a mother-in-law, he was not happy to be washed by others, and he didn't know where the sour smell came from!
Master Wang and the two gentlemen did not!
Jiang Jingyi was pushed by his disciple before he recovered from his huge loss.
Although I can't marry a beautiful, sensible and capable little girl in the house, it is much easier to get the matchmaker in the house and then find a daughter-in-law. With the signboard of the Xinguo Mansion, those Jing ladies should not look down on him.
It's just that he is afraid that he will be the head of the house for many years, if he marries the son of the house family, he can get along with the newly married daughter-in-law day and night, if he marries outside, outsiders are not allowed to enter the house easily, he has to buy a house outside, and can only go back at night to get together.
That's it, the daughter-in-law finally has a place, what else do you want to do!
Thinking of this, Master Jiang respectfully saluted Gu Qing and thanked Old Taijun Qiu for his great kindness. It's just that I was inevitably a little melancholy in my heart, but I still brought it out in my expression.
Gu Qing saw his melancholy, a little stunned, felt that he had rejected a "rotten peach blossom", and was a little reluctant to go, so he excused himself that he had already seen his grandson, and he would not disturb his teaching, and he would go to other places to visit.
Jiang Jingyi is a rough person and shallow-faced, and he is really embarrassed to say things like "Mrs. Tai, do you have a girl of the right age who can't get married, hurry up and give me one".
So he could only watch sadly as Gu Qing took the big and small girls away in clusters.
Waiting for Mrs. Qiu to leave......
"What did you just say? Does the master have a sour smell in summer? Well? Jiang Jingyi sneered, "Come on, come on, just wipe the little girls comfortably, right?" Take off your clothes and practice for another hour today. Master, I will personally wipe your sweat to make sure you don't freeze! ”
"Master, that master...... The apprentice just said it casually, casually...... You're heroic, not sour! Li Rui saw that Master Jiang had already undressed him, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran.
"Master, the apprentice still has homework today, the apprentice will go first!"
"Where are you going to run for me!" Master Jiang threw a hug at Li Rui.
"Both gentlemen have gone home for the New Year, you have an egg lesson! Take off! ”
"Grandma help! Grandma, help! ”
"Just your duck's voice, don't bark!"
Gu Qing went out of the West Garden, and he didn't want to stay in the house all the time, so he took a bunch of little girls to rest in the carved bow tower in the North Garden, and by the way, he looked at the books left by the old man.
Lao Guogong's annotations have always been funny, and he also has a hobby of doodling on books. Probably because his wife was illiterate, he was relieved to complain, so Gu Qing always read these books as jokes.
Gu Qing took a copy of "Book of Han" in the bookcase, flipped through it casually, and happened to turn to the article "Sima Xiangru Biography". Her knowledge of classical Chinese is not very deep, and she can only see a general idea, but she still knows who Sima Xiangru is. The story of him and Zhuo Wenjun "selling wine" has become a love story for thousands of years.
It's a pity that Sima Xiangru still had the idea of taking a concubine after he was developed, and a good story changed its taste.
Gu Qing went directly to the back of the page, wanting to see what Old Man Li said about this person. As a result, the old man only wrote a paragraph, which made Gu Qing laugh.
"'Swear by it, don't think about it. But if you don't think about it, you have already done it. My wife's words are very reasonable, and I must remember them. ”
Burst! It turned out that the old lady and the old man had also discussed this person. Li Lao Guogong also retouched his wife's evaluation in ancient Chinese.
I really can't see that Li Lao Guogong is still a loyal dog man!
Mama Hua was very happy when she saw Gu Qing holding a book and laughing alone, and she felt all kinds of emotions in her heart.
The old lady did not read all her life, and she did not want to be literate, but when she was old, she studied diligently and studied hard. The books in the carved bow tower were all left by the old man, and the old lady was afraid that she would be so happy because she thought of the sweetness of the year.
It's just that if the old lady had read and practiced calligraphy back then, and read and painted with the old man, wouldn't it be more beautiful? Now that the old man has gone, leaving the old lady alone, even if he has a great family, his children and grandchildren are around his knees, and he is afraid that he still regrets in his heart.
Mama Hua watched Mrs. Qiu pick up another book, wiped her tears while laughing, and couldn't help sighing.
The old lady also had a love affair with the old country's father-in-law, Qin Se and Ming, and the husband and wife had a loving relationship. In her life, she doesn't even have a person who knows cold and warmth, and she should be the one who leaves regrets. What position does she have to feel sorry for Mrs. Tai?
"Mama Flowers!"
"Yes." The flower mother who felt the sadness of spring and autumn hurriedly came back to her senses.
Gu Qing wiped away the tears that came out of laughter, blushed and said:
"Change my clothes."
The author has something to say: First of all, I wish you all a happy Juneteenth! Always keep your innocence, have a lot of imagination and love!
In fact, the child in this chapter wants to drop that, but the author found that after writing here according to the outline, today happens to be June 1st, and the author really can't accept it when he writes like this according to the outline, so he is willing to be troublesome, and changed the outline and branch line, leaving this child behind.
So on June Day, the author gave everyone a branch line that Gu Qing wanted to raise a baby, En'en, that's it.
