Chapter 23: Wait for Me
Li Jiangwei saw Mama Lin standing and waiting outside Rongyue Juju from a distance. Mama Lin stood respectfully outside the door, and bowed like Li Jiangwei when she saw her.
"Fourth Miss, please."
Mama Lin actually put away her sharp edge and treated her politely, such a rare behavior made Li Jiangwei a little surprised.
Stepping into the Rongyue Residence, he bumped into Li Jiangqin head-on. Li Jiangqin glared at Li Jiangwei with hostility, snorted coldly and turned back to her room.
Li Jiangwei ignored Li Jiangqin's malice, calmly crossed the threshold, and entered the room where Qian Manniang lived.
There was only Qian Manniang in the house, and there was no one who served. When Qian Manniang saw Li Jiangwei come in, she stretched out her hand to signal her to close the door, and then pointed to the chairs on both sides for her to sit down.
Qian Manniang didn't greet her, and asked directly: "I heard that you have been busy with the teahouse recently." ”
"Exactly."
Li Jiangwei's calmness surprised Qian Manniang a little, "You didn't hide it from me?" ”
"Li's bookstore is the property of Uncle Anyuan's mansion, and my mother is in charge of the feed, and I didn't deliberately hide my identity when I walked outside. Mother was able to learn about this, and it was all in Rose's expectation. Why did Mother call Rose? Just to confirm this? ”
"It's not ......" Qian Manniang thoughtfully tapped on the arm of the chair, "I have accepted your love, and it is better to tell you some things." ”
The ancestor of Anyuan Bofu was knighted for his military merits, but the Marquis of Anyuan at that time felt that it was not a long-term time to establish the world by force after all. After obtaining the title, Marquis An Yuan paid attention to the study of his children, opened a school and established a bookstore, trying to pass on poetry and books rather than martial arts.
The original Li bookstore barely managed to make ends meet, and when foreign students went to Beijing to catch the exam, they could occasionally earn a little. However, this balance was completely broken by the appearance of Wenjin Bookstore, and the income of An Yuanbo's Mansion was also implicated in the flood of Xiajiang, so that it was unable to make ends meet. Qian Manniang hopes to sell some poorly managed shops and get some working capital, so that An Yuanbo's mansion can get a new turnaround.
However, Qian Manniang's proposal was rejected by Li Yueran, and she even reprimanded her fiercely, saying that she had ruined the inheritance left by her ancestors. She was not allowed to sell any shops, let alone renovate Lee's bookstore.
"The bookstore's rebuilding of the teahouse was originally done by me without the master, but I didn't expect you to be involved. If the old man asks...... Just say you don't know and take yourself out. ”
The hesitation and hesitation that flashed on Qian Manniang's face were captured by Li Jiangwei.
"Mother doesn't have to be like that." Li Jiangwei said unhurriedly: "Even if my father knows, he will not act rashly. If the father asks, the mother can completely push the Wu family out. However, Wu Lao and the others did not want outsiders to know about it. ”
"Oh?" Qian Manniang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "This is a good idea." ”
"I believe my mother should be a smart person."
"That's nature."
"In a few days, it's time for the flower gods. Mother should know that Rose has become the pear blossom god of March. ”
"Hmmm......"
"If Jiang Wei can leave an impression in front of Princess Heshou, the seventh sister will be older. On the third day of March, he could lead her to find Princess Heshou. Mother, did you say yes? ”
"Yes......"
"Does Mother have anything else to tell Rose?"
Qian Manniang was completely inferior in front of this titular daughter.
"No ......"
Li Jiangwei got up and saluted Qian Manniang, and said, "Since this is the case, then Jiangwei will retire first." If you have any other questions, you will ask your mother for advice. ”
After this short meeting, Qian Manniang's back was already oozing cold sweat. She has long known that this stepdaughter is not simple, and in some ways even more troublesome than Li Jiangyun, who loves to choke. Li Jiangyun was arguing with her at most, but Li Jiangwei unconsciously touched her lifeline.
Li Jiangwei knew that she was short of money, so she just sent the money. Knowing that he cares most about his children's affairs, he brought out the princess and longevity who loves matchmaking.
Qian Manniang clung to the handrails on both sides, staring at the closed door without changing her face, and there was silence in the room.
In the palace of King Qin in the capital, Yu Yongyi was busy dealing with the affairs at hand. Since the decision to open a new store in the south, there has been a lot of work.
Gonggong Zheng watched him busy at his desk for several days, and he couldn't bear it, so he reminded on the side: "Your Highness, in a few days it will be the Flower God Meeting." I wonder if His Highness plans to participate? ”
Yu Yongyi raised his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Is it so fast?" ”
"Yes."
Yu Yongyi put down the pen in his hand and instructed Gonggong Zheng: "Go and prepare the carriage, I need to go to the palace." ”
"Will it be a little late to enter the palace at this time?"
"I'm going to see my father."
"Yes."
After Gonggong Zheng retreated, Yu Yongyi got up and put on his coat and walked outside the house, looking in the direction of An Yuanbo's mansion. Even if the line of sight is blocked by the high wall, there is no trace of An Yuanbo's mansion at all.
Yu Yongyi understands that it is difficult to become a concubine as Li Jiangwei's concubine. Even if he was old enough to marry a wife, he did not take the initiative to mention to the emperor that he wanted to marry Li Jiangwei. Yu Yongyi didn't want Li Jiangwei to succumb to the position of the side concubine, he hoped that Li Jiangwei could stand by his side openly.
The release of "Wanjiayan" is part of his plan. The appearance of "Wan Jiayan" can solve the problems of the emperor and the emperor at the same time. First, with the help of "Wan Jiayan", Li Jiangwei can be valued and loved by the emperor. If the emperor can't agree to the marriage of the two, there is also the emperor to help.
Now Li Jiangwei is fifteen, and she will wait for three more years at most. In the past three years, Li Jiangwei may be married by her father at any time. This made Yu Yongyi have to hit the idea on Princess Heshouchang.
And the longevity of the princess and the horse flounder deep love, after the horse died in an accident like to pull the red line everywhere, for this year on the third day of the first month of March to hold a flower viewing party, invite the men and women of school age in Beijing to go. Princess Heshou has a good relationship with the emperor, and if Princess Heshou can be a matchmaker, the marriage will be much smoother.
"Inherit the micro ......"
Yu Yongyi whispered this name, and every time she recited this name, she could calm her worried heart.
"Wait for me ......"
Yu Yongyi hopes that the next hug will no longer be nameless and secretive. For her, and for them.
"Your Highness." Gonggong Zheng appeared in front of Yu Yongyi again, "The carriage has been prepared, do you want to leave now?" ”
"Hmm."
Leaving the Qin Palace, the round wheels of the carriage headed towards the tall red palace wall. The closed palace door slowly opened, as if opening a deep and unknown world.
Yu Yongyi is very familiar with this palace, after all, behind this palace wall is his home.
It's his nominal ...... Family......
