Chapter Eighty-Five: Who Is Not Who
On that day, the Lin family brought Li Minghua back, and before he could move with emotion and reason, coercion and temptation, the news came that Mrs. Li had called the Wang family and finalized the news that Li Mingqi would go to Taiyuan Mansion.
Lin beat his chest: "There are so many daughters in the family, not everyone will have good things, they are all to be robbed." ”
Li Minghua was inexplicable: "How can this be called a good thing?" Obviously a bad thing. ”
"This is a favor for Minglou, of course it's a good thing." Lin gritted his teeth.
Li Minghua smiled: "Mother, what Minglou doesn't want to do, we will do it for her, how can you call it help?" ”
It seems to be, Lin's speech.
"This is not a favor for Minglou, this is a favor for the family." Li Minghua said, "You think too much. ”
Lin snorted and came back to his senses: "Even if it's a favor for the family, shouldn't it?" If you help with this, your family can still treat you badly. ”
"I don't want to treat myself badly." Li Minghua said, "This is nothing else, this is marriage." ”
"Fake, take a stand." Lin corrected.
Li Minghua did not let go: "I only get married once, and I don't want to have regrets in the future." ”
The Lin family couldn't figure it out, why did her daughter, who had always been smart and knowledgeable and generous, hold on to this trivial matter, and poke her forehead hatefully: "Li Mingqi is not afraid of what you are afraid of!" Are you inferior to her? ”
Because Li Mingqi didn't think about the future, Li Minghua was silent, thinking that in the face of his own questioning, Li Mingqi was as always.
"There's something going on at home, you can't ignore it, you don't want to go, Mingran is still young, only I went." She said, smiling again, "But don't worry, I want to go on my own, of course you have to be grateful to me, feel guilty about me, I don't have a problem." ”
Li Minghua didn't let her change the topic: "What will you do in the future?" Minglou came back from her injuries, or she never came back. ”
Li Mingqi pinched the bead chain hanging in front of him: "In the future, when she comes back, I will live by myself for the rest of my life, if she doesn't come back, I will live my own life." Raised his hand and scraped Li Mingran's nose, "Don't worry, I did such a big thing, the eldest lady will not treat me badly when she is happy, even if the eldest lady treats me badly, the family will not, I will not worry about it for the rest of my life." ”
It seems really good not to worry about it all my life, Li Mingran, who was originally worried, became happy and began to joke: "Mingqi, when I go to Taiyuan Mansion to see you in the future, I will call you Minglou." ”
Li Mingqi followed her words: "Of course." ”
Li Minghua did not speak and did not persuade again, Li Mingqi always speaks half-truths and half-truths and does not tell the truth, but some things can be seen without saying anything.
Li Mingqi didn't want the future, her future is now, marry Taiyuan Mansion as Li Minglou, and then either use Li Minglou's identity forever, or in Taiyuan Mansion forever.
Is it because he wants to become a different Li Minglou, or is it because of the son of the Xiang family?
Li Minghua interrupted Lin's chatter: "In short, Li Mingqi wants to go, I don't want to go, this matter is hers, and I can't grab it." ”
It's too late to say anything now, and Lin can only force a smile to see him off.
It's a matter of secrecy, and the parting can't be too long, when the twilight is getting thicker and it is suitable to hide people's eyes, Li Mingqi got into the carriage and went away in the eyes of everyone, disappearing into the night.
Li Mingran didn't understand what parting was until this time, she had been smiling and grinning, and she cried, and the prostrate girls stepped forward to cover their mouths to comfort her.
Li Minghua is not a child, she didn't cry, and the night covered her stunned expression.
The parting came too quickly, she really didn't expect it.
This incident came too quickly, and Li Mingqi didn't expect it.
I've been thinking a lot about it these days, but I don't know what to think, I just don't think about anything, Li Mingqi sat in the rickety carriage, clasped her hands in front of her, there were tears on her face, and there was no sadness of parting in her eyes.
This is not a parting for her, but a dream come true.
Go to Taiyuan Mansion, and in the future, she will be Li Minglou.
The carriage briskly left Gangneung Mansion behind in the night.
The lights in the small city of Dou County are bright, because of the bandit disaster In order to appease the people, not only the streets are lit up at night, but the county government is also open day and night.
The two scribes on duty tonight trotted into the room on duty tonight, wrapped in winter robes and holding their ears.
Lifting the curtain to warm their faces, the two of them exhaled, and their shrunken bodies stretched out.
"You're late." There were two young officials playing against each other in the room, and a teapot was warming on the stove next to them.
The two who had just come in sneered: "It's you who came early." "Take off your winter robe, and it's not cold to wear a single coat in this room.
They carry teapots and pour tea, and the strong aroma fills the room.
"Is this a new tea?"
"It smells so good."
"There's still food in the kitchen, and there's a boiled elbow tonight."
The sound of talking sounded in the room, accompanied by the crackling of the fall, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Today's county government is different from the past, no one wants to be on duty during the day in the past, but now they are rushing to come at night, and they are reluctant to leave after being on duty all night, the county government is more comfortable than home, the charcoal fire is enough, and there is good tea and rice.
How much does this cost, I calculated it in private, which made the officials who always felt that other people's money was their money.
"We only spend a few here, you go to see the barracks, it's like pouring money on water."
"I've heard that there is meat to eat every day, and more and more people are going to be strong men, and I think they are all going to eat meat."
The winter is cold and bitter, especially the life of the poor people is even more difficult, and there is a place to eat for nothing, of course, you can't let it go.
The officials shook their heads and exclaimed, Zhenwujun turned out to be so rich!
But no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this.
Regarding money, it has never been within the scope of Li Minglou's thinking, Wang Zhi's study is now completely unrecognizable, flowers are blooming on the windowsill and table, and the steaming heat in the renovated clean room envelops her whole person.
A small pool was dug in the clean room, and a charcoal fire burned under the pool, making it look like hot spring water.
Li Minglou stood by the pool and unbuttoned his shirt, thinking about the letter he had just received.
Li Fengjing and Xiang Jiuding wanted to conceal Jiannandao and find someone to replace Li Minglou to go to Taiyuan Mansion to get married, she already knew that this was the news sent by the people who stayed by Li Fengjing's side, although Li Fengjing and Xiang Jiuding both used their own people to send the letter, but it was not difficult for the entourage of Jiannandao to open the letter and see the content.
What I received today was a message from Jiannan Dao, mentioning that the final candidate of the Li family was Li Mingqi.
Li Mingqi is going to Taiyuan Mansion to marry Xiang Nan instead of himself.
Li Minglou thinks it's very interesting, Li Mingqi has become Li Minglou, so who is she?
The last trace of clothing faded and a chill hit, Li Minglou took a deep breath, not to resist the cold, but to resist the pain of entering the water.
She had done her best to reduce her washing, for the flesh of the carrion of a dead man had been tortured in the water.
Li Minglou stepped into the pool in one breath, the person was drowned in hot water, and his body froze, not because it hurt, but because it didn't hurt.
Is it a delusion?
Li Minglou lowered her head, the heat enveloped her face, and also blurred her vision, she raised her arm and put it in front of her eyes, the white vapor and white skin, those piercing rotten spots did not know when to become lighter and lighter.
The same is true for the rest of the body.
Li Minglou raised his head, this incident happened too fast, his breath was still holding in his chest, and his thoughts were still hovering before, Li Mingqi became Li Minglou, so who is she?
"Who am I?" She opened her mouth to exhale this breath, "I am ....."
There was a sound of talking outside the door.
"Madam, the young lady is taking a bath." Kumquat's voice was crisp, "The servant is waiting for you to wash up." ”
The woman's voice was soft: "Wait until the finches are washed." ”
Li Minglou stood up from the pool and brought the sound of water.
"I'm a finch." She said.
She's not Li Minglou anymore.
