Chapter 7 Innocent
The night was dark, and it was drizzling.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the porch, watching the rain fall down the eaves and fall to the ground, splashing in all directions. His mood also became chaotic with the splash of water.
Unlike Dou Fengjie, the eldest grandson Wuji's observation and reaction are extremely keen.
In the evening in the gazebo, Li Yanqing's words made him vaguely capture something. If Dou Fengjie was just surprised by Li Yanqing's slanderous words of the sage, the eldest grandson Wuji could hear the deeper meaning hidden in the words...... If it weren't for him Li Yanqing, Xingyang would be starving all over the wilderness now?
If it weren't for him Li Yanqing, then he would have seen the devastation.
What do these words mean?
Thinking of the porridge shed opened by Li Yanqing, he bought the porridge shed after the famine and opened it in Xingyang.
What does he want to do?
Or rather, why did he do it?
The eldest grandson Wuji's mind suddenly became a mess.
Since his sister's illness recovered, the eldest grandson Wuji went out of Sichuan with his mother, and it was indeed a little chaotic when he marched into Guanzhong. In the past, it was said that the Qinchuan River was 800 miles away, and the fertile land became barren, and displaced people could be seen everywhere. Everywhere he went, what he heard, shocked the eldest grandson Wuji. However, he had not yet noticed too much of it, and only thought it was an isolated phenomenon. But now, he began to doubt.
The glory since the opening of the emperor's heyday seems to have been dimmed.
When I returned to Luoyang this time, I found that the relatives and friends I knew well in the past were dead and declining...... Even his uncle's family went to Lingnan, and above the court, only Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi, and Yu Shiji were left.
This also made the eldest grandson Wuji a little disheartened.
Perak Hall is now controlled by the eldest grandson, Heng'an. Although the eldest grandson Hengan expressed his willingness to accept their mother, son, brother and sister, the taste of being under the fence was always uncomfortable. The eldest grandson Wuji is a high-minded and arrogant person, how can he compromise under the eaves of the eldest grandson Heng'an's mother and son?
Dou Fengjie said to him: "Go to Gong County, I heard that Yanqing mixed well there, and also opened a Qilin Pavilion."
With your talents, you must be able to occupy a place in the Kirin Pavilion. Instead of staying in Luoyang, it is better to go to Gongxian for a while. ”
So, after discussing with his mother, the eldest grandson Wuji rushed to Gong County.
On the one hand, it is for my sister, and on the other hand, it is with enthusiasm and ideals.
In the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, his talent may not be lost to Xue Shui, as for Xu Jingzong, he is just a clown who jumps off the beam and relies on Li Yanqing for a living. But now, he found out that he was wrong, not that Xu Jingzong was useless, but that he had lost his usefulness.
Are troubled times coming?
Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and forgiveness are no longer useful?
So what is the use of what you have learned after years of hard study? Maybe for Li Yanqing, he is not as good as a despicable villain.
"Little brother, why haven't you slept yet?"
A soft voice sounded behind Eldest Sun Wuji.
There is no need to look back, the eldest grandson Wuji also knows that it is his sister who is here......
"Oh, it's the first time I'm in a different place, and I'm not used to it, so I can't sleep." He turned his head and saw the eldest grandson Wujian wearing a skirt and walking slowly.
"Little sister, it's raining, why are you wearing so little? Beware of getting sick! ”
"Hehe, my body is much stronger than my little brother now. When I was in Emei Mountain, Sun Daochang taught me a set of body strengthening techniques, and Sister Gu Landuo also passed on a set of dragon lowering skills, and I am much better now than before...... It's the little brother, you're drinking again. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sat down beside the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Little brother, have you encountered something upset?"
"Well, I guess so."
"Is it because of the little brother?"
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and did not answer.
"Actually, I know that my little brother has a lot on his mind." The eldest grandson Wujian was barefoot and crossed his legs, "At that time, he sent me into Shu, and when it was difficult to do Shu, I felt it...... But he's very strong and doesn't like to tell anyone anything. I'm obviously a big deal, and I have to make me happy all day long. After all these years, I don't know if he is still the same as before? ”
"Is he on his mind?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised: "I really haven't felt this. ”
"Little brother has a lot on his mind, but he hides it, and he hides it well."
The eldest grandson Wujian smiled innocently, "At that time, he thought I didn't understand anything, but in fact, I did, but I just didn't understand what it was. ”
"Hmm......"
"Little brother, can you help him?"
The eldest grandson Wuji took the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji, with a look of anticipation.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly: "Guanyin, it's not that I don't want to help him, but ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to help him. There are many people around him now, whether it is Xue Shui or not, Yan Xiangshi, Yao Yi, Kong Yingda, these people are all the best people in the world, and even Xu Jingzong, who I look down on, can share his worries. And me? Even I don't know how to solve problems for him. ”
"It's not that the little brother can't compare to them, but the little brother doesn't understand what it means to solve problems."
"Oh?"
The eldest grandson Wujian said in a low voice: "Xu Jingzong, is it the one who took bribes in the name of the little brother?" ”
"Uh......" The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment, and almost said: It was not Xu Jingzong who accepted bribes under his name, but your little brother, who was secretly masterminded.
"How can a person as smart as the little brother not know what he has done?
The reason why he stayed by his side is probably because of ulterior motives. I don't know why my little brother would keep such a person, but I know that he must have his own reasons. Sometimes, even the little brother may not know what kind of person to find to help him...... He is my father's only disciple, little brother, you must help him. If you don't know how to help him for a while, stay with him and watch secretly.
My mother said to me that we would live here in the future.
Since we live here, we shouldn't sit idly by, right? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's thick eyebrows moved, and he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in surprise.
My sister's mind is far more delicate than mine. She thinks about things that are even more far-reaching than I am.
Yes, I came with great ambitions, but I didn't make an inch, and I was about to collapse because of a small setback, and how can I make a name for myself in the future?
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji's spirit suddenly lifted up.
"Guanyin, don't worry, I figured it out!"
"Well, I knew that my little brother would be able to figure it out...... It's night, so you should rest early. ”
The eldest grandson yawned and got up to leave.
And the eldest grandson Wuji stood on the porch and took a deep breath: Yanqing, you must treat Guanyin well. I will clear all obstacles for you, but you must not live up to Guanyin's dependence on you.
In the darkness of the night, a bolt of lightning flashed.
The electric light shrouded the county seat of Gongxian County in a miserable white.
Boom, spring thunder sounded, the sky oscillated, and the clouds rolled......
****
Early the next morning, Li Yanqing sent Dou Fengjie on the road.
Then he was on the backyard lakeside, moving his body, stretching his muscles and bones, and spitting out the old and absorbing the new.
At breakfast, he came to Mrs. Gao's residence and visited Mrs. Gao's family. When he saw Wuji, he couldn't help but be surprised.
When he left Shuzhong five years ago, Wuji was still a yellow-haired girl.
But in the past five years, she has been slim and elegant, revealing a bit of elegance, like a hollow valley orchid, which is endlessly evocative.
At noon, Yan Qing led Mrs. Gao and her party to Zheng Shi'an's grave to worship.
Although the few thatched houses next to the tomb are abandoned, Yanqing will still send people to clean them up from time to time.
After walking for an afternoon, Mrs. Gao was also tired. After worshipping Zheng Shi'an, she took her eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters to rest in the thatched house with Yanqing.
After carefully inquiring about Yanqing's experience in the past few years, Yanqing also answered fluently.
"Yanqing, I have a question, I don't know if to ask?"
"Oh...... Madame, excuse me. ”
"What is the relationship between you and the Li family of Tang Guogong?"
Mrs. Gao's sudden question startled Li Yanqing.
"Me and Tang Guogong?"
"Yes, seven years ago, it was Tang Guogong who entrusted the master and asked him to accept you as a disciple.
When you and Mai Zizhong were juju and competed, Tang Guogong also quarreled with the master once about it. At that time, the lord was a little puzzled, the relationship between you and Tang Guogong. Later, you broke off from the Zheng family, but changed your surname to Li. The year before last, Dou Junshou came to the door to propose marriage for you, and I was even more puzzled.
I don't have much contact with Dou Rail, but more or less, I can be regarded as having some understanding.
He is not smiling, he is thoughtful in his work, and he does not have many friends. When a good man suddenly proposes a marriage for you, I wonder, who is he entrusted with? You...... Hehe, I must still say that I can't move the sinus rail. Even when you were in Rongle City, you helped him subdue the acquaintances of Zhushan.
Therefore, when I think about it, there is only Tang Guogong...... But you didn't show any connection with Tang Guogong, I really don't know......"
This old woman has such a powerful mind.
Li Yanqing scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Don't hide it from Madame, I do have some relationship with Tang Guogong." ”
"Oh!"
Mrs. Gao pulled a long note, with an expression of 'sure enough'.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji were also a little surprised, and looked at Li Yanqing in surprise. Li Yanqing looked at their expressions and knew that they might have misunderstood. I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how to speak.
In short, it is impossible to say that his own Laozi is still a prisoner of the imperial court.
Even if he has a close relationship with the eldest grandson's family, some things can't be explained too clearly.
So, Li Yanqing scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, and the surname Suo no longer explained. When I can explain it, I will naturally make it clear to them.
"Yanqing, I want to enter your Qilin Pavilion, I don't know if it's okay?"
The eldest grandson, Wuji, made a request.
Yan Qing thought for a while, "Shiro wants to enter the Kirin Pavilion, which is indeed a good thing, I can't ask for it." Just ......"
"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to bother with that Xu Jingzong."
Li Yanqing heard this and laughed!
After a hasty lunch in the thatched house, Li Yanqing accompanied Mrs. Gao on the way back.
It is also said that this noon, he didn't even have a few words to Wuji. Except for the first few pleasantries, Wujian has been hiding beside Mrs. Gao, staring at Li Yanqing with a pair of big black eyes, making Li Yanqing feel uncomfortable.
Back in the house, Mrs. Gao got out of the car first.
Ma Sanbao hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Yan Qing's ear.
When Li Yanqing heard this, his brows frowned.
"Don't pay attention to him, if Yin De sends someone over again, he will say that I am not at home...... Also, after a while, you will take my name and go to the county government to meet the Chai County Order. Explain the ugly things of Yin Zongdao one by one. Let's just say that the laws of the court should not be taken lightly, I will wait and see. ”
Ma Sanbao nodded and turned to leave.
Yan Qing stepped up the doorway, but saw that there was no dirt, and he was standing outside the gatehouse waiting for him.
"Little brother, this is a letter from Sister Duoduo to you."
She glanced around and handed a letter to Li Yanqing.
"By the way, when you left Emei five years ago, Bai Niangniang was forced by realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival to show her true body...... I waited for the rest of the story for five years. You don't want to be Laipi, you said you were going to finish telling me...... Starting today, one lecture a day. ”
After saying that, she ran away as if she were running away.
Li Yanqing stood in the gatehouse, scratched his head, and said in his heart: This little girl's surname is really good, it's been five years, and I'm still thinking about it.
"Young Master, what is the White Lady?"
Kan Ling leaned over curiously and asked softly.
"A snake, a very touching beautiful snake......"
Li Yanqing looked at the back of the innocent and muttered in a low voice.
Suddenly, he was smiling.
