Chapter 62: Blame for Yourself
In March, Emperor Chengwu went hunting. Although it is a trip, the location of the spring hunt is in the West Garden Enclosure.
The Xiyuan enclosure, which was originally the hunting ground of the emperors of the past dynasties, has become larger and larger over the centuries. The field has been expanding, and now Emperor Chengwu has ascended the throne, but it has stopped, otherwise this is the largest hunting ground in history.
In the spring, the grass in the paddock grows well, the forest is full of trees, and the prey is fat and abundant.
As early as a few days ago, the household department and the ritual department were very busy, because, according to Emperor Chengwu's thoughts, this hunt must be a big one, and this trip also took more than ten days, and the cost of silver was also huge.
However, this spring hunt was not only for the children of the royal family, but also for officials, and Emperor Chengwu also allowed officials to bring their wives and relatives to participate.
The prey in the paddock is not only large beasts, but also smaller animals, such as rabbits, which is the best practice for some young ladies who have just learned to ride and shoot.
And this opportunity is also a rare opportunity for them themselves, and they can always deepen their impression in front of those wealthy sons or royal children.
The long procession left Gyeonggi slowly and headed for Seongwon.
Xin Yan is naturally among them, how to say that Emperor Wu will also "value" her during this time.
Because of her special status, she could have ridden in a carriage alone. However, Shao Yunqing was also in the entourage this time, but he came to participate in the name of the niece of the Zhou Mansion, so he naturally took a ride with everyone in the Zhou Mansion.
Xin Yan invited her to ride in the carriage with her, and she did not refuse.
As soon as she got into Xin Yan's carriage, Shao Yunqing immediately felt different, not as bumpy as the carriage she made, and it was also spacious.
Isn't that spacious! This carriage was originally a master and servant, but now there is one more Shao Yunqing, and there is still space.
And the carriage she originally sit, because it was an accompaniment, the carriages were all arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and each prefecture also arranged a carriage, so naturally, the people in this mansion were crowded together.
Shao Yunqing was on pins and needles just now. Normally, it's okay, in the Zhou Mansion, at least they are in their own yards, and if they don't go out, nothing will happen. Now it's sitting in the carriage staring wide-eyed, that atmosphere, not to mention how embarrassing it is.
Especially when it was originally a situation of hating each other, now it can be said that it is even more unspeakable.
And Shao Yunqing was not from the Zhou Mansion, so today in the carriage, he received a lot of blank eyes from Zhou Shuman.
If Schumann is really grateful for this opportunity this week, if it weren't for this hunt, she would still be grounded, where would she have come out. I don't know what Feng said to Zhou Feng, so Zhou Feng agreed to take Zhou Shuman this time.
This made Aunt Liu and Zhou Shumei very angry.
After Shao Yunqing sat down here, he said to Xin Yan: "Fortunately, you spoke." Otherwise, I wouldn't really know how to get to the paddock. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xin Yan helplessly.
Xin Yan said: "It's very exciting to come to that carriage." ”
"Naturally, I can't compare to you being at ease here." Shao Yunqing looked around, but remembered the scene when he met Xin Yan for the first time: "You remind me of the first time I met you." You were the same as you are now, casual. "It's lazy. This is not derogatory, Shao Yunqing just feels that no matter what time it is, Xin Yan seems to be able to live well and will not wronged himself.
"You're kidding me. Although the paddock is not far from Gyeonggi, at this rate, it will take two hours to walk anyway, and if I don't let myself sit comfortably, I may not even be able to get off the carriage when I get there. After Xin Yan finished speaking, she leaned back on the back cushion, picked up the fruit that Wei Xiaochun handed her and ate it.
Shao Yunqing smiled slightly when she saw this, and when she said this, it seemed that she ...... That's right, indeed.
However, looking at her current dress, Shao Yunqing still asked: "How are you dressed today?" Won't you hunt later? ”
Even Shao Yunqing is wearing a riding uniform, although the women of the Great Jin Dynasty pay attention to gentleness and elegance, and do not go to school like ordinary men, but the basic piano, chess, calligraphy and painting still have to be learned, but the subject of riding and archery is also a necessary course. Needless to say, the women of the big families in Gyeonggi must learn.
And Xin Yan's current dress is unintentional as she usually is, wearing an ivory white skirt, covered with a light gray robe, although there is not too much jewelry on her head, there is also a silver silk wrapped in a green step. It's more solemn than the usual attire.
Xin Yan shrugged indifferently: "I don't know how to ride and shoot, so I'll join in the fun." Just look at it. ”
Shao Yunqing was obviously a little surprised by this answer, it can be said that since she met Xin Yan, she felt that this woman seemed to have nothing that she wouldn't do, and now she told her so calmly that she wouldn't ride and shoot, which surprised her.
Xin Yan smiled, and the corners of his eyes turned down slightly: "What?" Don't you believe it? ”
"It's a little hard for me to believe."
Xin Yan clasped his hands around his chest: "It's not that I haven't learned, it's just...... It's really not something I'm up to, so I won't waste any time. Besides, whether or not it will be a horse shooting is not a necessary thing for me. ”
Shao Yunqing just likes Xin Yan's free and easy appearance, maybe everyone yearns for what they want but can't achieve. This young lady in Gyeonggi, who can say that I am not good at riding and shooting, so I will not study. Everyone is not working hard in order to learn well and not be looked down upon by others. But who really thinks of mounted archery as their own thing, it's just a means to sell themselves.
"By the way, Shao Fu, what's up."
Shao Yunqing heard Xin Yan ask about Shao Fu, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, and this mockery was naturally directed at Shao Fu.
"After Mrs. Cheng knew the news, she really went to find Aunt Liu, and I also secretly called someone to leak the abacus between Aunt Liu to Mrs. Cheng, no, Mrs. Cheng was even more angry when she found out, and almost beat Aunt Liu." As if thinking of Aunt Liu's fate, Shao Yunqing let out a breath, and the stuffiness in his chest disappeared a little.
"But this Aunt Liu is also capable, and she can still escape when Mrs. Cheng is angry. But now, the enmity between Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Liu is over. Thinking about it, this Shao Yunwan harmed her daughter, and now this Aunt Liu has deceived her again, no matter how you say it, it is impossible to let her go. It's just that I didn't expect this Mrs. Cheng to be very ruthless......"
When she heard the news, she couldn't believe it: "This Mrs. Cheng actually hit Shao Yunwan's body with her thoughts, and Shao Yunwan was bumped into being in the same room as Qin Ping, and her clothes were messy. Moreover, this incident was witnessed by his father with his own eyes, and he almost beat Shao Yunwan to death on the spot. But Aunt Liu can't save her now. I can only admit this family business...... "Actually, what she said was quite subtle, on the day Master Shao bumped into them, he was drinking with his colleagues, so Master Shao was not the only one who bumped into them. Although the people present at the time didn't think that the two of them were really having an affair, because Qin Ping was like that, and he didn't look like someone who could do that kind of thing.
"This Mrs. Cheng's plan is really poisonous, although I know that I was framed, but I can't say it." Wei Xiaochun was dumbfounded when he heard it: "It's just, this Aunt Liu really compromised like this?" "That's not her style.
Shao Yunqing said: "That's true, Aunt Liu is so precious Shao Yunwan's house knows, because this is a big fuss, but in the end, she was slapped by her father and scolded." was warned by her father that if she made any more trouble, she would be kicked out of the house. ”
Although he knew that it was impossible for his father to really drive Aunt Liu out of the house, after all, Aunt Liu also gave birth to a son, and he was also the only son in the house. For this, I won't really do anything to Aunt Liu.
And Aunt Liu was scolded by her father like this, but she calmed down and didn't cry. It's kind of a tacit acquiescence. ”
Wei Xiaochun sighed: "In this way, your Aunt Liu is not very good to Shao Yunwan, and in the end, she was not for herself, so she was abandoned." ”
Xin Yan suddenly said at this time: "This is not necessarily. A person who has lost his virginity or reputation since ancient times is nothing more than marrying that person, or he has paid his hair and become a nun, or he has only one death. It's impossible to act as if nothing happened. "Not to mention that Shao Yunqing's incident was known by others, if it was in the mansion, it was still possible to suppress it.
This will, it is impossible to tell Master Shao's colleagues not to mention it.
"Therefore, it is impossible to let Shao Yunqing become a nun and live in the nunnery for the rest of her life, and it is impossible to never come back, and it is even more unrealistic to ask her to die, so there is only one way left, which can be regarded as the best of these three paths."
Wei Xiaochun was puzzled: "Is it good to marry Qin Ping?" ”
Xin Yan tapped Wei Xiaochun's head: "If this hadn't happened to the two of them, marrying into the Qin Mansion would naturally be like entering a fire pit, but this is already the case." There is this way to go, although the events of that day were broken, but Shao Fu and Qin Fu can say to outsiders that they are happy with each other, and they have already made a marriage contract before, which is harmless. And after marrying into the Qin Mansion, he can also escape, neither have to stay in the nunnery for the rest of his life, nor do he have to die. Right? ”
Shao Yunqing nodded, things are just as Xin Yan said, Shao Fu has already told the public about the marriage of the two, and after Shao Yunwan and Lu, they will get married immediately......
Before, Aunt Liu wanted to calculate and let her marry into the Qin Mansion, but now she is her own daughter to marry, I don't know if she has regretted what she did before?
But she didn't sympathize with their fate, because that's what almost happened to her. Xin Yan told her that poor people must have something to hate, and now they are to blame for their own ends, and they can't blame others.
Xin Yan secretly observed Shao Yunqing's expression, and saw that her expression was as usual, and she didn't have any sympathy for Shao Yunwan's matter, and she was satisfied. If, after experiencing these sufferings, one still has some mercy for the enemy who inflicted his suffering, then he is cruel and irresponsible.
Because your enemy will not repent of what he has done, but will only enjoy the joy of victory......
