Chapter 119: The State Pastor
The night was dark, and Yan Qingge sat under the shadow of the lamp in a daze.
It's been a few days since she last saw Zhu Mao. As long as she is idle, her brain will burn the voices and faces of Zhu Mao and Yan Shuyu like a fire, and she will have a headache, dry eyes, and trance.
Seeing that Bailu Academy is about to open, if Yan Qingge wants revenge, it is best not to go back to study this year, otherwise he will be locked up in the academy in the wilderness, and he will not be able to contact the outside world at all, even if he knows the news of the two of them, he will not be able to arrange it.
Especially as the prince, her, and Yan Shuyu get older, Yan Shuyu's appetite and courage are getting bigger and bigger, and she must keep up with them from time to time.
But how can she tell her uncle that she doesn't want to study?
After entering the White Deer Academy, Yan Qingge realized that it was easy to get out of this academy, but it was difficult to get in. She wants to drop out of school, and Le Yi will not agree.
Just when Yan Qingge was thinking about it, the curtain of the door was lifted, and Yan Xiuyu walked in, followed by two mothers-in-law, carrying food boxes and charcoal stoves in their hands, and came in behind him.
Yan Qingge raised his long black eyelashes and glanced at him: "Brother Yu, why haven't you gone home yet?" ”
In the past few days, Yan Xiuyu has come to Lejia as long as he is free, and he often leaves until the night when the frost is heavy and the road is covered with a layer of ice.
Yan Xiuyu beckoned the mother-in-law behind him to take out the copper pot in the food box, put it on the stove, and said, "This is the soup I asked the kitchen to stew for you, which can best calm your mind." I see that you haven't been in good spirits lately, so drinking this at night can warm your hands and feet and help you get a good night's sleep. ”
In the past few nights, Yan Xiuyu will find all kinds of reasons to accompany her, some things are to send her supper, and some things are to send her two gadgets to play with her for a while, for fear that she will feel uncomfortable when she thinks about the Wei family when she is alone.
Yan Xiuyu was so intimate, Yan Qingge's heartstrings seemed to be plucked by a feather, and he said softly: "Thank you, Brother Yu." ”
The two mothers-in-law waited for Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu to drink soup, and the two sat together, Yan Qingge asked softly: "Brother Yu, when you dropped out of Bailu Academy, did your brother say anything to you?" ”
Yan Xiuyu smiled at Yan Qingge and said, "My brother has been rambling with me for a day, and my head is so big that I read it. But, he's been talking to me like this since I was a child, I'm used to it. In the end, my sister-in-law interceded, saying that what could be taught in the academy could also be taught at home, so my brother gave up. ”
Even if Yan Xiuyu drops out of school, it will be considered a bad thing by the family, and if she drops out, it is estimated that the difficulty will be even greater.
Just when Yan Qingge was silent, Yan Xiuyu's eyes seemed to be able to see everything, and he spoke: "Qingge, don't you want to study in Bailu Academy anymore?" ”
Yan Qingge nodded, a little embarrassed: "My uncle sent me there at the beginning, and I was afraid that he would be unhappy when I came back." and Ling Xiao, her family doesn't want her to go there to study, because I want to go, so she will go too. I'm just leaving, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
Yan Xiuyu seemed to be able to see Yan Qingge's thoughts, and he asked softly, "Have you encountered something difficult, why do you have to drop out of school?" ”
"I ......" Yan Qingge hesitated, but he didn't know how to say it.
"You don't have to tell me." Yan Xiuyu assured Yan Qingge: "It's just that you don't want to study there, there must be some reason, right?" ”
Yan Qingge bit his lower lip and shook his head: "I don't know what reason to say. I just don't miss it anymore and just want to stay at home. ”
Yan Xiuyu didn't persuade her either, and when she finished drinking the soup, she went out with the two mothers-in-law.
As soon as he returned to King Yan's Mansion, he called his subordinates, his face was serious, and he said, "You go and check to see if there is anyone in the White Deer Academy who is bullying Sister Qingge." ”
The man wondered in his heart, but he still retreated.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Xiuyu received a report from his subordinates, in Bailu Academy, there were indeed people who did not like Yan Qingge, and that was the three sisters of the Yuan family.
Although the three sisters of the Yuan family had a lot of infighting last year, they basically didn't trouble Yan Qingge anymore, but the few dismounts they had set up for Yan Qingge before, especially what Yuan Niannian did, were still passed down in Bailu Academy.
If it had been a few years ago, Yan Xiuyu would have asked why the three sisters of the Yuan family would bully Yan Qingge. But now he wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
His thin lips pursed, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he patted the arm of the chair in distress, and his beautiful eyebrows tangled in the center of his eyebrows.
Such a picturesque and jade-like beauty, showing a sad state, makes people want to smooth the folds between his eyebrows with their own hands.
Even the subordinates who have been serving him for a long time are itching in their hearts, the longer the little prince grows, the better he looks, and he doesn't know whose girl will be cheaper in the future.
The expression on Yan Xiuyu's face finally moved, he showed a wry smile, and read a poem softly: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on." Then he got up and walked outside, and said loudly: "I'll go to the school to practice archery, don't come with me." ”
The subordinate was confused and didn't know what was going on, but he still nodded yes.
Yan Qingge has been entangled for a few days here, and early this morning, Le Yi walked back in small steps, and as soon as he entered the door, his face was a color that he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.
The outer courtyard of Bailu Academy started early, and Le Xuan had already gone back to study, Le Yi only called Gu and Yan Qingge and said, "There is one thing, I have to say. The saint accidentally released me to Qingzhou as a state pastor, and the order will probably come down soon. ”
Yan Qingge was surprised: "Qingzhou Prefecture grazing a thousand stones, for the second grade official, uncle, you are jumping several levels in a row." ”
Le Yi said: "When I first found out, I was also shocked. ”
Gu didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but he also knew that the sky would not fall into the pie, and said, "Master, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
Le Yi smiled bitterly, this matter really can't be said to be a good thing.
Qingzhou has not been peaceful in recent years, drought and flood are combined, there are often rogues to make trouble, the victims are displaced from all parts of the Great Zhou, and it is close to the north, there are often barbarians to plunder, it is said that some places have been hundreds of miles without people.
But think about it in another way, the Holy Lord has been using troops against the north for many years, especially in Qingzhou, near the north, there are many elite soldiers stationed, and the safety of officials can be guaranteed in that place. As long as we can make certain achievements in people's livelihood and no longer make the Northland so desolate, the evaluation we will get in the future will definitely be superior.
A large part of the reason why others recommended him was because his father Lehou was very good at studying people's livelihood.
He didn't hide it from Yan Qingge and the Gu family, and analyzed the matter to them in detail.
Yan Qingge knew that in a few years, the northern land would be defeated, and people would be moved from the mainland at that time, and Qingzhou must be inhabited. Le Yi's appointment now, looking difficult, is actually a good thing.
Le Yi heard that Yan Qingge was very supportive of him going to Qingzhou to take office, and said: "Qingge, I can't rest assured that you are the most." ”
Yan Qingge knew what he was talking about, and what Le Yi was most worried about was that if he was not in the capital, the Yan family would bully her. In this case, she couldn't even mention the matter of dropping out of White Deer Academy.
She suppressed the anxiety and disappointment in her heart, and said with a smile: "What did my uncle say?" Anyway, I don't usually go back, just stay in the academy, can my aunts still run to the academy to find me trouble? ”
In the afternoon of the next day, the emperor's appointment came down.
Spring is a frequent time for local officials to transfer new posts. Le Yi won the position of Qingzhou Governor, and the sensation caused was not very big. However, when Wei Qiao went out of the city to take office, many girls, children, daughters-in-law, and aunts went to watch.
Yan Qingge didn't join in the excitement, but I heard that the person who sent Wei Qiao at that time almost blocked the way out of Beijing, and Wei Qiao was still so handsome, and now he has another miserable life experience as a background, so the women who sent him were fascinated for a while, and they couldn't wait to go to the north with him to serve him.
Yan Qingge listened to Ruyi's mouth and nodded her finger: "Listening to what you said is so outrageous, do you also want to serve Wei Qiao?" ”
"No way!" Ruyi shook his head like a rattle: "Ruyi only needs to follow the eldest lady alone." ”
As she was talking, a little girl in Yuefu walked in, holding a box in her hand, and said, "Miss Biao, this is an invitation sent from outside, specially for you." ”
Yan Qingge took it curiously, opened the invitation and took a look, and found that it was sent by Princess Rouhui's mansion.
Princess Rouhui likes to hold all kinds of parties, Yan Qingge knows it, but this post is different, because this post is to invite Yan Qingge to participate in this year's spring hunting.
Yan Qingge was stunned, the spring hunt is an event held by the imperial family of the Great Zhou Dynasty every year, but in addition to the royal relatives and nobles, only some ministers and their children who are particularly favored by the emperor can participate.
Yan Qingge's status is not qualified to participate at all, what happened this year, she actually asked Princess Rouhui to personally post to her.
Yan Qingge didn't know what was going on, but the post sent by Princess Rouhui couldn't be shirked.
She looked at the date on the post, and the day after tomorrow was the right day, which made her feel even more strange. Because this kind of activity is generally scheduled in advance to invite someone, and then to prepare time for the people who come, there is basically no temporary post like this.
There's a weirdness to the whole thing.
Because Yan Qingge's most solemn jewelry and coats were locked in the Yan family's treasury, she had to dress up carefully to attend the events held by the royal family, but she had to go back to the Yan family.
In addition, Le Yi and the Gu family are already packing up their things to leave, although the house here will be reserved for Le Xuan and Yan Qingge to live in, but if there are no elders here, the two cousins will live here alone, and it is not appropriate to spread it, Yan Qingge simply packed up his things and prepared to move back to the Yan family completely.
When Yan Xiuyu arrived at Yuefu in the afternoon, what he saw was a courtyard of soldiers and horses.
There are Lejia people who pack their luggage for Le Yi and Gu's family, there are people from Lejia who pack their luggage for Yan Qingge and load the car, and there are people who go outside to buy things and run back and forth.
Yan Xiuyu asked if it was Yan Qingge who wanted to move back to Yan's mansion, and the smile on his face faded.
When Yan Qingge lived in Lejia, as long as they were on vacation, they could see each other tomorrow, but now that he has returned to Yan's mansion, he has no reason to go to Yan's house every day.
His brother nagged him every day to avoid suspicion, not to make friends with the children of the family casually, and to keep a distance from them, although Yan Xiuyu was rebellious, he also understood the reason, and until now he has never heard of a friend with a child outside the Le family.
Not to mention the Yan family who has nothing to do to fight snakes with sticks, just Yan Songnian's virtue, if Yan Xiuyu goes a few more times, he will definitely take the post to the Yan Wangfu to ask for an official.
Thinking of this, the expression on Yan Xiuyu's face became more and more bad.
