Chapter 516: The Dilemma of the Taiwei Mansion
Qin Ying calmed down, turned around and exited his grandparents' bedroom, and motioned to the maid outside the door: "Say goodbye." ”
"Yes......" The maid thought it was strange, but did as she could.
When I entered the door again, I saw my grandfather and grandmother and her face full of love, and she did not mention the words between her words, and after saluting and greeting, she withdrew as usual.
When Qin Hao also rushed to say goodnight, the brother and sister met under the corridor, he greeted his sister, but his sister turned a blind eye, as if she was walking past with a heavy heart.
"Shadow?" Qin Hao stood still and shouted again.
"Brother......" Qin Ying came back to his senses and blessed him, "Brother, forgive me, I didn't see you." ”
"Are you alright? What, was scolded by grandpa? Qin Hao walked over, looked down at his sister carefully, and said with concern, "Is the injury better, is it still itching?" ”
Qin Ying just shook his head or nodded, as if he was still immersed in his thoughts, and he was afraid that his brother would notice something, so he said, "Brother hurry up, grandpa and grandma are going to sleep." ”
"Then you're fine, if the wound is itchy badly, look for Lang Zhong." Qin Hao said, "But just get through it, this skin and flesh will itch when it grows, don't scratch it." ”
Qin Ying responded, pushed his brother to ask for peace, and after he left, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the boudoir.
When she went to bed and changed her clothes, the maid changed a new gauze for her, in fact, now that the wound has mostly healed, there is no need for gauze to resist the injury. But the badly burned hand became very ugly, and was wrapped in gauze just to cover the shame.
But Lang Zhong said that she is young, and these scars will slowly fade in the future, and even if there are some imprints that cannot be faded in three or five years, they will not be as terrible and ugly as they are now. The maidservant girl of the family came to rub the ointment on time and hour every day, and someone was waiting for her, not afraid of not raising her badly.
So......
Qin Ying looked at her hands, these scars were not enough for her to avoid her relatives, in case her grandfather really sent herself out for the sake of the family, or if the emperor chose her first, a burst of despair surged in her heart.
Qin Ying tried to clench her fists, her tight skin was like tearing pain, she finally compromised, and let go of her ten fingers.
At this time, the little maid came to tell her that her father had just arrived at home, but he was very tired and tired, and that the lady had already sent a message to say that there was no need for the young ladies to come and say goodbye.
"Got it." Qin Ying responded, "Father is greedy for cold, don't ask him to eat cold food, his body is becoming more and more unbearable." ”
The servant muttered: "My lord has been going home these days, and he is always so tired that he doesn't want to eat, why is the court suddenly so busy, our lord used to be quite idle." ”
Qin Ying knew that after the new monarch ascended the throne, the court officials did not look much shocked on their faces, but in fact, they had already reshuffled the cards, and after his father's department laid off several officials, the affairs that were originally scattered in the hands of everyone fell on his father.
During the day, she had already heard her brother and sister-in-law talk about it, once her father couldn't hold on, the only way out was to ask for resignation, then the emperor not only achieved the goal of weakening the Qin family, but also had nothing to do with him.
Qin Ying doesn't blame it today, the way of kings and ministers has always been like this.
The first emperor reigned for ten years, and the Qin family was in full swing, even if he didn't choose between the emperor and Prince Sheng in the end, he was also the favored retainer of the first emperor after all.
Grandpa and uncles, if they want to find a foothold under the dragon chair of the new monarch, they must take off a layer of skin.
Walked to the desk, on the table was the expenses that had just been calculated today, and the expenses needed to pass Duanyang at home were quite difficult this year, so the only way to hide the financial constraints was not to be extravagant during the funeral period of the former emperor.
Grandpa and uncles, these days spend money to do everything, gold and silver go out like flowing water, others don't know, Qin Ying, who is in charge of the family's accounts, knows it.
The scenery of the Min Mansion in the past and the downfall of today have become a joke in the capital, Qin Ying sat down, turned the account book page by page, and didn't dare to think about how he would be able to do it if he had this day.
Her eyes fell on a few books on the side, each of which was sandwiched with beautiful bookmarks, which she had made for herself in the past, always looking forward to one day being sandwiched in a book, and she liked it just by looking at it.
Now, she can finally put the book on the table in the open, but when she reaches the marriageable age, her future is still bleak.
Stretched out his hand to caress the cover, opened the title page, the handwriting of the third sister-in-law of the Zhu family, at first glance is upright and beautiful, after looking at it for a long time, you can see a spirit of establishing the world, which makes people feel refreshed.
Qin Ying lifted the pen and wanted to imitate a word, but his fingers did not obey the call, and the tip of the pen trembled violently, and in the end only a ball of ink fell.
"Miss, how do you remember to write at such a late hour?" The maids were about to blow out the candles, but when they saw this, they stopped.
"I don't write, my hands are idle, and I touch them casually." Qin Ying said, "Let's turn off the lights." ”
The maid asked, "Miss, when will you go to school in the Duke's Palace, and when the time comes, can the slave and maid follow along to see and see?" ”
Qin Ying shook his head and said, "Maybe it's just a statement, grandpa won't really ask me to study, don't worry about it." ”
The other asked curiously: "Yesterday's garden party in the palace, I heard that it was very deserted, and those mansions were too bad for the queen's mother, and she was really bold." ”
But Qin Ying thought back to yesterday and smiled unconsciously.
As the daughter of the Taiwei Mansion, she went to the palace with her grandparents to attend banquets since she was a child, and she went in and out of the nobles of the family, and she had never seen any kind of scene.
But yesterday, I was really happy, the young girls were together, there was no comparison with each other, no sour words, no false greetings, not gold and silver, not to talk about pearls and jade, to talk about the scenery of various places, it is ancient and modern legends, just half a day, the things she heard were enough for her to reminisce for a few months.
As the night deepened, in the bedroom of the Qingqiu Pavilion of the Duke's Palace, Fu Yi read the answer sheets of the senior brothers and disciples under the lamp, naturally they copied them silently, and those answer sheets had already been sealed in the palace, even Zhu Rong could not get them.
"How?" Zhu Rong came back from washing, and when he saw Fuyi's long eyebrows frowning, he smiled and said, "Your expression is not satisfactory?" ”
Fu Yi shook his head: "Not really, the articles of the senior brothers have their own strengths, I am not a marking officer, just watch the fun." ”
Zhu Rong said: "But my father is not very satisfied, although I tried my best to explain, if there is no such special case in the marking of the papers, the marking officer will not be able to see the name of the candidate, everything is fair and strict, and personal fraud will not be allowed." But my father still felt that it was the Duke's Palace, the Royal Palace, and even the Emperor's influence that influenced the final result. ”
Fu Yi still has resentment in his heart, and he is not angry: "He is so unconfident, so in his opinion,
That's just the case with my daughter. ”
Zhu Rong said angrily: "Look at you, you can always discuss other things, why are you impatient when it comes to your father, and I am still like this, can you not quarrel with your father?" ”
Fu Yi was not convinced, but he didn't say anything, put away the paper in his hand, and planned to take a closer look at it tomorrow.
Zhu Rong asked, "Angry?" ”
Fu Yi glanced at him: "When you enter the door and come here, you are all talking for my father, do I dare to be angry?" ”
Zhu Rong shook his head: "I only understand now, what is called a Qing official who is difficult to decide family affairs, you, you are not spoiled by your father, even if it is Yunzhi, you don't dare to quarrel with such a red face and a thick neck in front of the second uncle." ”
Fu Yi softened a little: "I know that I am angry with him again, and I said something cruel about him today, in fact, I regret it, but I was angry at the time, not on purpose." ”
Zhu Rong said: "Dad won't worry about you, I'll accompany you to compensate tomorrow." ”
Fuyi looked at him aggrievedly: "Brother Rong, are you annoying me?" ”
Zhu Rong nodded, but propped up the desk, leaned over, and kissed Fuyi on the lips: "I have experienced so many things, whether it is the world or housework, every time I see you deal with it calmly, I am worried that I will not be worthy of you one day in the future." Naturally, it's not that I want my wife to be incompetent and weak to cling to me, in short, when I see you and this side, I don't worry, you will tighten yourself more and more, how good? ”
There was a little smile in Fuyi's eyes, and he was duplicitously disgusted: "Your mouth is smeared with honey?" ”
Zhu Rong kissed again: "You taste?" ”
Fu Yi pushed him away: "The worst is you, I still expect you to protect me and fight against my father." ”
Zhu Rong said: "If you want me to confront my father-in-law, did I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? ”
Fu Yi smiled, got up and walked around the desk in her husband's arms, looking embarrassed: "I said cruel things to my father again, what should I do, I can't take it back." ”
Zhu Rong frowned: "What did you say?" ”
Fuyi said timidly: "I told him not to come to the capital for the rest of his life, and I won't go back to Jizhou, and the father and daughter will never see each other again." ”
Zhu Rongban raised his face: "You, should you fight?" It's so nonsense, but it's good that I didn't see my father today, I don't have the face to see him. ”
"Brother Rong......"
"Don't allow it anymore, that's your father."
Fu Yi said: "Then don't you still ...... your father?"
She couldn't bear to say the latter words, and even if Zhu Rong understood, she would not be angry, and said good-naturedly: "Two different things, but even if I lock him up, he is still my father." ”
Fu Yi said solemnly: "I will apologize early tomorrow morning, I know that I am wrong, he is unwilling to stay in the capital, so let him return to Kishu with peace of mind." ”
Zhu Rong's chin rubbed against the soft green silk on the top of Fuyi's head, and said with a sigh of relief: "My father's matter should also be resolved, Xinghuatang is too depressed, send him out of the city as soon as possible." ”
