CHAPTER XXII
"Mom, what else happened on the way back from the Northlands?" Qingyan asked softly.
"Miss, no."
"Are you sure?"
"Old slave...... OK"!
"Then what do you have a weak heart?"
"Uh......" Zhang's mother was instantly dumb, what could she say?
Could it be that she told the fourth lady that she was not Mother Zhang herself!
Blame the "dead man" for their bad ideas!
Qingyan suddenly climbed on her arm with both hands, Mother Zhang didn't resist it, her arm hidden under the sleeve was already exposed to everyone's eyes, and sure enough, as Lan Yue said, at this time, a strange arm that didn't look like a woman.
"What does Mommy want to say?" Qingyan asked as he stared at her.
Mother Zhang was stunned, beyond everyone's expectations, she turned around and fled!
The flexibility of the body and the speed of the movements really can't be seen to be able to do it by Zhang's mother before.
"This ......," Hongwu's eyes widened.
Bi Qing said worriedly: "Miss, since she is not Mother Zhang herself, where is Mother Zhang?" Who is she, and will she be a danger to us? ”
Qingyan squinted and looked out the window, her face was inexplicable, and she smiled lightly: "Mother Zhang will not be in danger, as for who she is, maybe she will know the answer tomorrow."
The second day was Qingming.
Li Zhiyu, the second master of the Li family, just dared to rush back from the north on this day.
He went to bow to the old lady first, and then arrived at the main courtyard of the eldest master.
I stayed for a long time, and when I came out, my expression was solemn and complicated!
When Qingyan received the news, it was already in the middle of the day.
The person sent by Li Qingmin said that her brother asked her to go to her father's yard to prepare to meet her father.
Li Qingyan was already extremely blurry about his cheap father, and he couldn't even remember what he looked like, let alone his temperament and hobbies.
Li Zhiyu passed the academy assessment as a concubine and was recommended to enter the famous garden, which is the gathering place for all the children of the scholar clan to lead to the official career.
In the second year after his marriage, he was appointed as the county commander of Qipin to go to the north to take office, and he would come back every year during the Spring Festival.
And she was just an accident when he came back in a hurry to stay for a while.
And the unexpected is not necessarily a surprise, more often it is indifference and indifference.
The two-bedroom autumn Wu residence.
Li Zhiyu sat on the top, Li Qingmin stood on the ground, and he still valued and loved his only son from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as he came back from the eldest master, he summoned Qingmin and began to evaluate his homework and other learnings in the academy.
Li Qingmin treats him like a stranger, and there is no trace of admiration for his father when he first sees him, but Li Zhiyu can't see this, he feels that his children are young and calm, which is a very good thing at this time.
Li Qingmin's smooth answers at a glance and his own insights show that his knowledge is good.
Li Zhiyu touched his chin and was very satisfied, but for Qingyan, who had not appeared for a long time, he said impatiently between his eyebrows: "Why hasn't your sister Qingyan come yet?"
As soon as his words fell, he heard a voice coming from the courtyard, and he raised his head and looked at the slim girl who was slowly walking towards him!
I haven't seen her for a year, and she's already so old.
She doesn't look like her mother, but between her eyebrows, she looks like him!
Although in the Northland, he has a concubine and other children, but Qingyan, as his first delicate and soft daughter, is false to say that it doesn't hurt!
Merely......
He didn't want to continue thinking about the unhappy things that had passed.
"Uncle Li, bring in all the things prepared for the young lady!" Li Zhiyu couldn't wait to put his father's love in front of her.
The difference between his daughter and son is that he can give gold, silver, jewelry, and gorgeous clothes and ornaments at will.
Qingyan, who stepped into the hall door, looked at the middle-aged man sitting upright, and was meticulous for a moment.
This is a father figure she once had in her mind, unlike General Yu, who is not even willing to give her the appearance of a father.
Thinking about Qingyan's heart, endless sourness rose in his heart, but it was a pity...... This father did not love her with all his heart.
She endured the discomfort, but still fell and was generous, smiled lightly, stepped forward to salute him respectfully, and said softly: "Say hello to my father, Qingyan is late, my father won't blame me!"
Li Zhiyu had a smile on his handsome and elegant face, and a pair of eyes were also loving, and said with a smile: "Father won't blame you, it's just a girl, if you sleep more and your skin is good, your mother-in-law will ......."
He paused suddenly, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate to mention his wife in the Northlands at the moment, and said something else.
But Qingyan and Qingmin both heard it, it was not as ignorant as Qingyan, and Qingmin knew that his father had already had a newcomer and another child, and his mother had already lost his father's favor!
Qingmin pursed her lips, her face was calm, and she looked extremely gloomy!
Li Zhiyu asked some of Qingyan's daily routines, such as what do you do on weekdays? Did grandmother arrange for her to learn the female red housekeeper or something.
Qingyan answered him one by one with a smile.
At this time, two little servants walked in with a big mahogany box, and Li Bo said in a cool voice: "Master, bring something for the young lady."
"Good...... Yan'er, this is for my father to prepare some clothes and jewelry for you, I don't know what you like, so I bought more, you pick up what you like and keep it, and the rest can be given to the sisters in the house, after all, it is a characteristic of the Northland, and they will also find it strange."
Li Zhiyu's fatherly appearance was fully revealed, and Qingyan sighed silently in his heart for his sincerity and intentions at this time.
Your Qingyan is no longer there, and although I have become Qingyan, people who have never been favored by my father do not know and will not express their feelings for my father!
Come to think you're doomed to disappointment!
Qingyan smiled and thanked him, the alienation in his eyes was still seen by Li Zhiyu, and he immediately restrained his smile and returned to his normal Qingjun indifference.
"Father knows that your brothers and sisters blame me, but your father's affairs are powerless", he raised his eyes and stared at Qingyan Qingmin and the others, and said bitterly: "As for Qingyan's marriage, my father thinks it's okay to retreat, the big family, the intrigue inside, the darkness and dirt, and it's good to leave."
"What about Mother?" Qingmin asked him coldly.
"Father is going to give up on Mother, and Uncle is trying his best to find a way, but what about you?"
"I'm sorry, my father went to your grandmother's yard first, and she begged me to stop this matter, otherwise my father will lose his official position, and the Li Mansion will also be in trouble!" Li Zhiyu is afraid, worried, and powerless.
Qingyan laughed: "I didn't expect them to stretch out their hand from their father, this hand is long enough, does my father really do this, don't forget that your mother is your wife, you sacrificed her because you were worried about your black yarn hat, aren't you afraid of the world's shameful laughter"!
Li Zhiyu's face turned pale: "I can't do anything for my father."
