Although the unfavorable rumors against the old lady in the court were curbed, the gossip among the people could not be controlled.

Moreover, it is said that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and at this time, even if the high-pressure policy is used to restrain the people, it will have no effect.

However, Emperor Yunwen's purpose was only to establish his image of being tolerant and protective of meritorious heroes in the court. He didn't really want to clear up all the rumors - that's what the old lady wanted to do, so he wouldn't bother to do it. Besides, he really wanted to see the old lady's incomplete appearance when he was attacked by folk rumors.

It's not good for him to do it to the old lady himself, but those ordinary people say a few fair words, which makes the old lady have a heart attack, and it can be regarded as a bad breath for him, isn't it?

With this kind of thought, Emperor Yunwen made a clear appearance in the court, but privately hinted at the eunuchs around him and added fuel to the gossip in the capital. As a result, even the old lady who was originally in the depths of Yingtian Academy and rarely set foot in the rest of the realm heard many unfavorable remarks against him.

The old lady buried half of his neck in the soil, and he no longer cares about these gossips. But he doesn't care, can the other two victims not care?

Ke'er is okay, after all, the relatives of the girl's family are decided by the elders, and outsiders just want to say anything about her, but they can't say anything, who makes her just a little girl at the mercy of others.

Ke Zixun, he will have to conduct scientific examinations in the future, so he is afraid that someone will attack his character with this.

After thinking about it, the old lady called Qing'er over and told him about it. Qing'er listened to the sound of the back, looking at the old lady's serious face, he laughed and persuaded the master, "What are you worried about?" From the moment I made the engagement with Koko, I thought of the consequences, good and bad. Whether it's outsiders' contempt and ridicule, or offensive and invulnerable, I know it all. Master, these are all expected by me, and I am mentally prepared to bear it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed to the family affair in the first place. Master, the matter has come to this point, let others say it. I don't care, and don't take it to heart. ”

It's just a few gossips, which can only lose his face and make him lose face, but it won't really hurt him. Besides, wouldn't it be better to leave such a "stain" that is criticized by others? After all, he has heard a lot of ways to be an official from his master, senior brother and brother-in-law, and sometimes, the more reputable an official is, the more fearful he is of the superiors, but it is a person like him who has a stain, which is more credible.

Qing'er didn't say his idea clearly, but he also nodded a little. The old lady understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but laugh and say "crooked".

But crooked reasoning is also reasonable, even he can't deny it, Qing'er's words really have some truth to be found.

So be it, as long as he doesn't get upset about it, it's better than anything else.

Qing'er left from the master's place, but as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate where the deputy mountain chief lived, she heard the sound of small footsteps not far away.

The footsteps were light, and the person who came should be a woman.

But the academy is important, where ordinary women can come in? In addition, this is the back mountain where the deputy chief who is more strictly guarded lives in...... Almost instantly, a thought hit Qing'er's mind, and his footsteps froze in place.

In the gap when Qing'er was stunned, someone turned a large rose tree and appeared in front of Qing'er.

The woman was slender and seemed to be much thinner than he had in his impression. But her complexion was ruddy and full, a pair of dark eyes with a bright smile, and two small nests on her lips, smiling as if they were filled with honey.

This girl with a round apple face and an innocent and bright smile is not Ke Ke who came to visit her grandfather.

When Qing'er looked at Ke Ke, Ke Ke, who was whispering and laughing with the maid, was also stabbed twice by the maid and raised his eyes.

For a moment, her fair and delicate cheeks were flushed, and even her earlobes were red as if they were dripping blood. And her eyes were shy, as if they were full of spring water, and she could only see people's hearts shake, and there seemed to be a deer on a rampage in her chest and abdomen.

The two looked at each other stupidly, but the maid coughed lightly before she came back to her senses and hurriedly saluted.

Ke Ke came to visit his grandfather at the request of his parents.

This is a superficial statement, but in fact, she came to Yingtian Academy for what reason, and they know each other.

Ke Ke didn't want to come, fearing that he would be teased by his mother and younger brother. But in my selfish heart, I want to come over very much. Reason and emotion appeared in the dispute, and in the end she still stomped her feet, and hurried out of the door amid the teasing of her mother and brother.

Originally, I thought that even if I wanted to see my future husband, I would need my grandfather's approval. But would a man as old-fashioned as my grandfather agree to meet before marriage?

This problem disturbed Ke Ke along the way, so much so that she gnawed off half of her fingernails. But who would have expected that it was such a coincidence, before she even entered her grandfather's door, the two bumped into each other.

The two saluted each other, and Qing'er turned her feet in a different direction and accompanied Ke Ke inside.

The two grandmothers who followed behind Ke Ke and the two big maids all snickered when they saw this. They were all worried that their future uncle had no intention of the girl, but now it seems that they are worried in vain.

In order to give the young couple who had just decided to have a chance to talk, under the signal of Grandma Ke Ke, the few people behind them gradually walked slowly, and opened a lot of distance from the two in front.

In this way, they can't hear the conversation in front of them, and the two just want to talk something private, and they don't have to worry too much about being teased about it. And you can also see the behavior of the two of them here, so as not to make the uncle surprise the girl, or the two of them are enthusiastic and make inappropriate moves.

Both Qing'er and Ke Ke were relieved when they noticed that the people behind them were following from afar.

Ke Ke was still hesitantly hanging his head and didn't know what to say, Qing'er had already opened his mouth, and whispered to her about the old lady's recent good food, good spirits, what books he was reading recently, and what articles he had done.

Ke Ke listened, and gradually relaxed.

This relaxation, I couldn't help but secretly turn my head to look at Qing'er.

Qing'er is good-looking, Ke Ke has always known this. After all, he and Pianpian's sister-in-law are sisters and brothers of the same mother, and the sister is as beautiful as a flower and a beautiful woman, so where will the younger brother who is a little similar to her go?

What's more, this younger brother has the bookish aura of a scholar, clear and gentle, just like the green bamboo outside the forest, Xiao Xiao Susu, which makes people feel good.

But looking at him at this time, Ke Ke found that Qing'er seemed to be getting better and better. Just that kind of appearance, I can't say it, in short, just looking at it makes her heart pound, and her heart beats fast as if it is about to jump out of her throat.

And I don't know if he did magic on her, but she just peeked at him, and her cheeks heated. Presumably her face was red now, which was really embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Ke Ke immediately lowered his raised head again, preventing him from seeing his gaffe.

Qing'er was already in the academy at this time, and Ke Ke tried to prick up his ears when he heard it, as if he was afraid of missing a word. Qing'er saw this picture inadvertently, the corners of her mouth curled, and she couldn't fall down no matter what.

The two of them walked very slowly, but there was always a moment when they walked in front of the old lady's door.

And the closer they got to the door, the slower the pace of the two of them, and gradually, before they knew it, they stopped in place and just talked.

The old man in the house heard the movement outside, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

The door in the house was not closed, and he was not blind or deaf, so he would not know if they came?

The old man couldn't help coughing, and the two woke up like a dream, took a deep breath, and entered the house together.

The old lady was very happy to see her granddaughter, the Ke family's heirs were thin, and all the relatives in the five suits were counted, and there were less than 100 people.

And he only has one son under his knees - there were three before, but the conditions were difficult at that time, and the children did not occupy it. finally had a last son, and Baal finally raised the child after two breaths of hard work. This is Ke Yanzhi. It is precisely because of this that don't look at the old lady who is over the age of old, but the eldest son is only forty years.

is also because there are few heirs in the family, so the face of a granddaughter is expensive. Not to mention that this granddaughter looks like a flower, and she is the most empathetic, and will make him an old man happy, so when the old lady sees her granddaughter, she really smiles.

However, seeing the closed disciple next to him, the old lady's mood was not so good.

It's one thing to marry his granddaughter to him, but just under his nose, watching his granddaughter be taken away, he is not so happy in his heart. So the old lady waved her hand and asked Qing'er to write two articles.

Qing'er: "......"

……

In the house in the capital, Father Lin and Aunt Shen finally came to the capital, originally to stay longer.

But they have been out for too long, counting the delay on the road, counting the busy days before the appointment, it has been almost a month and a half. Father Lin couldn't rest assured that the students in the private school would be relieved, and he was worried that he would delay their homework, so he always thought about it in his heart.

When Aunt Shen saw this, she said to Father Lin, "Why don't we wait for Qing'er to come back next time Xiu Mu comes back and talk to him about going back?" ”

Father Lin nodded hurriedly, "It's okay to go back." Anyway, the family matter has been decided, and the next six salutes have to go slowly. We can't help here, so we'll go home first. Binh Duong still has a lot to do. ”

Aunt Shen smiled, "I knew you were homesick." ”

As the old couple spoke, Xuanxuan walked in from outside the door with a grin.

She went shopping with Pianpian today, bought two good-looking pearl jewelry, entered the door and saluted her parents, and put one of the Ruyi pearls on her mother's head. I watched it again and again with great interest, and finally expressed my opinion, "It's really beautiful." ”

Aunt Shen's face was pale, "My mother is a grandmother, so why do you still need to dress up like this?" You're good, keep it for yourself. As he spoke, he was about to take the hairpin off.

Xuanxuan didn't follow it, and pulled Lin's father to testify, "This hairpin girl looks good with it, daddy, don't you say?" I'm still young, so it's not like that with this hairpin. It's not like a mother, it's rich and virtuous to wear it, but it looks good. ”

Father Lin was quite uncomfortable when his daughter shook his hand and shook him and asked him to make a statement, "It's good-looking, just keep it." ”

Seeing this, Xuanxuan smiled.

Father Lin saw that Aunt Shen's white face turned red because of his words, so he coughed lightly and changed the topic, and said to Xuanxuan, "There is still a lot of silver at home, if you like these beaded jewelry, go out with your mother to buy a few more pieces these days." These look more delicate and chic than Pingyang's jewelry, if you don't buy it now, when you return to Pingyang, it will be too late to buy it. ”

As soon as Xuanxuan heard that she was going back to Pingyang, her little face was pulled down. "Why do you want to go back? We've finally come to the capital, so let's stay for a while, wouldn't it be good Daddy? ”

Father Lin said, "There is still a private school at home, and since my mother teaches and educates people, there is a reason to leave so many students behind for a few months because of her own selfishness." ”

"But there are other masters at home, even if my father is not at home, there are other masters to teach students. Daddy, shall we stay a little longer? ”

Father Lin opened his mouth and said, "Can other masters compare with Daddy?" ”

Xuanxuan is a stalk, that can't be compared. Other masters are at most a showman, but her father is a two-rank jinshi. Pingyang's little Xiucai, and the two Jinshi of the Great Qi Dynasty, everyone knows that there is a world of difference in identity.

The knowledge taught by Daddy must be better than that taught by those talents, and those students naturally learn better. Not to mention that Dad is still the spiritual pillar of the private school, he has been away for a long time, and it is really difficult to say about the private school.

But just like that, Xuanxuan was unwilling. She still wants to spend more time in the capital.

Xuanxuan thought about it and coquettished with her parents, can she let her play in the capital for a while longer. Father Lin and Aunt Shen refused almost without thinking about it.

Who can rest assured that Xuanxuan is left alone in such a big house? But if according to Xuanxuan's wishes, let her go to Xu's Mansion to be with Pianpian as a companion, then wouldn't she have to trouble her in-laws?

That's not going to work, it's too much of a hassle.

Xuanxuan was rejected by Fu's mother and sulked for a long time. When I finally got my brother home, I quickly asked my brother to help me intercede.

Qing'er only knew at this time that her parents were going back to Pingyang.

According to Qing'er's meaning, she must not be happy to let them go back so early. After all, he hasn't seen him for a long time, and he misses his parents very much. Besides, studying in the capital, he couldn't fulfill his filial piety under his parents' knees, and he was very guilty. Now that I have such an opportunity, it is not a good thing to let my parents spend more time on a regular basis and let my father relax by the way.

Qing'er said, "Daddy and aunt want to go back, and the child agrees, but not now." ”

Father Lin asked, "When was that?" ”

Qing'er said, "Why don't you leave in two months?" ”

"It's too late, I'm not worried about the academy."

Qing'er said, "Father will listen to my reasoning first." Now that it is summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and when my father and aunt go on the road, the heat will be even worse, and I am afraid that you will suffer. Moreover, my aunt's health is not very good, and it will be even more difficult to deal with heat stroke or illness at that time. Again, there are less than two months left before the day of Pian Pian and Lu. Daddy and Aunt may wish to go back after attending the ceremony. At that time, the weather was not so hot, and even if you were in a hurry, you wouldn't suffer too much, what did Daddy and Aunt think? ”
