Chapter 42: A Windless Night

Li Jiangwei, who was taking the letter from the envelope, froze in her hand, and then returned to her old state and calmly pulled out the letter.

After returning from the Zhou family banquet, Li Jiangwei and Li Jiangyun were angry, and they were already ready to marry the Feng family in advance. At this time, when I saw the letter, I didn't feel strange, but my heart was a lot more steady.

"Auntie wants me to meet with the people in the General's Mansion in the name of my sister? As a sister swap, do you change Jiang Yun's marriage contract to Jiang Wei's marriage contract? ”

Feng Shi looked at Li Jiangwei's plain eyes, and was shocked in his heart, and then said with a wry smile: "You are really father and daughter, you can actually think of going together." ”

Hearing this sentence that I don't know if it is a compliment, Li Jiangwei was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Was this my father's idea?"

This sentence was originally intended to cover up her gaffe, but it unexpectedly reminded Li Jiangwei of some information. Suddenly laughed, shook his head and sighed while laughing: "Yes, my father will not want to lose the illustrious in-laws of the General's Mansion." If my sister doesn't go, she has to go with another person. My twin sister, who looks very similar to my sister, is the best candidate. ”

Feng wanted to comfort Li Jiangwei, but he didn't know where to speak.

"Scientific research has been my sister's wish since childhood. She hoped that she would be able to pass the imperial examination and get me and the other girls out of the marriage transaction. Although the idea is naΓ―ve, the heart is always good. I will agree to the matter of substitution. Can...... Don't tell your sister. ”

Li Jiangwei's eyes were red and swollen, and she forced a smile and continued: "If she knew that she had the opportunity to take the exam, I used this method in exchange. She...... Will definitely give up and not go ......"

Li Jiangwei lowered her head, unwilling to let Feng see her tears. She said in a choked voice: "As long as my sister can be admitted to the lifting of people, it will be a new path for our women." What's more, now that the prince of the dynasty is the imperial concubine, the eldest sister has won the position of the prince again. ”

Judging from the attitude of the four princes, the imperial concubine very much needs a female official who is upright and upright to follow the path of the imperial examination to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so dedicated to finding Huan Yue's master for her.

The eldest sister just sealed the prince, and the fourth prince congratulated him personally. If there is another female official, the imperial concubine can sit firmly in the position of the prince. As long as the younger sister can be admitted, the care of the four princes and the imperial concubine is indispensable.

General Feng's sister is Jieyu again, and she is also the adoptive mother of the imperial concubine and the four princes. If my sister can really be admitted, even if it is just a small lift, the Feng family will not retaliate against An Yuanbofu.

If the younger sister is more powerful, she will have a jinshi or a fellow jinshi. has the in-law relationship of the General's Mansion, and it is good to help my sister in secret. If my sister gains power, the last one who will benefit will inevitably be An Yuanbofu.

After sorting out these interests, it was difficult for Li Jiangwei to convince herself not to marry.

Li Jiangwei took a deep breath, raised her head and smiled at the Feng clan, her face still had tears that had not yet dried: "Auntie, when will we leave for the General's Mansion?" ”

At this time, the decision was sudden, and many things were not prepared in detail.

"This ...... I'll wait until I see ......."

Li Jiangwei's obedient nodding appearance made Feng's heart soften and hurt. Seeing her resolute eyes again, Feng couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

"You're still a little thin, wait until you're fatter. Let's find a way to postpone the wedding date first and buy some time for Yun Yatou. Substitution is the last choice. Don't overthink it tonight and get some rest. ”

"Hmm."

The warm embrace reminded Li Jiangwei of her mother in a different time and space. The tears that had just stopped fell involuntarily.

When was the last time my mother hugged her? If you don't count those three years, the last time seems to be before she leaves school.

She asked her mother for one last hug.

Feng gently patted Li Jiangwei's back and said gently: "Cry, just cry." ”

When I saw my mother again, I was already in the game. As soon as she gained consciousness, she saw her mother pounce on her, hugging her and strangling her uncomfortably. The father, who was originally standing on the side, also squatted down and hugged the mother and daughter together.

At that time, I didn't know what was going on. I thought I just had a strange dream.

In the end, she couldn't get out of this strange dream.

I miss home.

Li Jiangwei really wanted to shout out this sentence loudly.

However, she couldn't.

Li Jiangwei wiped away the tears on her face, the corners of her mouth turned up, and said softly: "When Auntie is ready, let me know." Auntie must remember that this matter must not be known to anyone in Xiaoxiang Courtyard. ”

"Good. That aunt is gone now? ”

Feng Shi was still worried about the well-behaved distressing child in front of him.

"Hmmm! I'll take care of myself. Li Jiangwei got up, walked to the door first and unlocked the door, "Jiangwei won't send her aunt anymore." ”

"Okay."

Feng's back completely disappeared in Qingxue Courtyard, but Li Jiangwei stood at the door and did not return to the house for a long time. She looked at the pear trees in the courtyard, and there was no wind tonight, and she couldn't even hear the sound of the trees swaying. The summer heat is uncomfortable, and the insects in the ears are constantly chirping, although the night is a little cooler, but the heat is still stuffy.

"Girl? What are you looking at? ”

Li Mo, who was guarding the door, saw Li Jiangwei's figure and couldn't help but ask more.

"It's been a long time since it's rained this summer."

"yes. Last year, it rained twice. ”

"You said it would be nice to have a heavy rain at this time. It's hot and annoying right now. If it rains heavily, it's much cooler. ”

Limo didn't know how to answer, just hummed slightly.

"Girl, late at night, don't you sleep?"

"Not very sleepy."

Seeing that Li Jiangwei was not very energetic, Li Mo locked the courtyard door and turned his head to walk in the direction of the small kitchen. After a while, he quietly came to Li Jiangwei with a small plate of silver whisker crisp.

"Girl, let's go back to the house and eat." Limo held a small plate and said, "Didn't the girl want to practice the amount of alcohol before?" I asked the third prince for a bottle of osmanthus brew, and made this silver whisker cake with osmanthus brew. ”

Li Jiangwei was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed: "I have a heart." ”

Li Jiangwei, who had been sanctioned by the amount of alcohol in this body, didn't dare to put the dim sum in her mouth easily, but went back to the room to change her clothes before tasting this delicate and delicious dim sum.

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, I saw Lixin fetch water and enter the house, ready to wash Li Jiangwei, who had just gotten up. Li Xincai wrung her handkerchief, and was about to wipe Li Jiangwei's face when she heard: "I don't need you to serve in the morning." ”

Pears were startled, their eyes widened, and their eyes were full of sorrow.

"The girl really can't forgive me......"

Li Jiangwei didn't bother to explain, and continued: "From today on, you and Li Yue will read and write. ”

"Huh?"

"Eh, what?" Li Yue happened to enter the house with breakfast: "Don't let the girl tell you twice." ”

"Reading...... Read? ”

In the entire Anyuan Bo Mansion, the number of people who can read and write is counted. Those who can read and write are all mixed up in the house. Even if you don't work in Qingxueyuan in the future, you can have a good place to go.

Lixin never dreamed that she would one day be able to read and write.

"Girl...... Won't the girl punish me? ”

"Of course you have to be punished." Li Jiangwei said: "Today, I will recognize your name with Liyue, learn your own name, and copy it twenty times." ”

What a punishment is this! This is clearly in the name of punishment, urging Lixin to learn!
