Chapter 690: Who Passed It On
After eating, Li Yuanqing and Li Zhengjie were sent away, and Guan Xinyue led Li Yao to see where she lived.
Before Guan Xinyue went to pick up Li Yao, she prepared a courtyard for Li Yao, and next door to Li Zhengying and Guan Xinyue's courtyard, she arrived through a moon gate.
This courtyard is larger than a main courtyard in Li Yaoyangmi Town, perhaps because the Li family loves to practice martial arts, this courtyard is decorated with some corridors and flower beds around it, and there is a large open space in the middle, which is paved with neat, smooth and strong bluestone slabs, and it is possible to practice knives and guns.
There are also a lot of houses in the courtyard, because it was late, Guan Xinyue didn't let Li Yao visit more, only took Li Yao to see her own main house, and called the maid to pour hot water for Li Yao, so that Li Yao could take a good bath first and rest early.
Li Yao was indeed tired, but she hadn't forgotten what she was worried about, and before taking a bath, she pulled Guan Xinyue and asked, "Mother, my uncle said before that there is no girl from a good family in Jingyang who is willing to marry him, what's going on?" β
Guan Xinyue sighed when she heard this: "It's not your uncle's old past. β
"Old things?" Li Yao raised her eyebrows.
"It's the matter between Zhengjie and Miss He, originally the matter between your uncle and Miss He's family was quite private, and there weren't many people who knew about it. As a result, after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the queen held a palace banquet, and for some reason, at that banquet, the matter of your uncle and Miss He's family was well known. Guan Xinyue said.
"It's all said to be an old thing, why do others value it so much?" Li Yao was a little puzzled.
As for because of an old incident, does everyone see her uncle like a beast? I can't even look at the relatives.
"Originally, this matter was nothing, and your uncle and Na He Qingwan had no contact for several years, but now outsiders have spread that your uncle has fallen under the magic of Miss Na He, and for the sake of Miss Na He, he would rather abandon martial arts and become a civil official. If you are a bystander, Xu will still feel that being a civil official is more noble than being a military attachΓ©, but the military attache in the DPRK and China has always been headed by our Li family, and there is some disagreement with the civil official, so our Li family is naturally promoted quickly by being a military general, and being a civil official, with that Zhao Cheng suppressing it, it is simply tantamount to self-destruction of the future. β
"Although your uncle is now a fourth-grade official when he just took office, but it was only rewarded by the Heavenly Family for the merits of our Li family, and your uncle is so slack in his duties, I am afraid that he will stop here in the future. So now it is rumored that your uncle is obsessed, and he is in a state of collapse because He Qingwan married the eldest prince, and his slackness in his duties is evidence. β
"Who in this good family doesn't feel sorry for their daughter, they are not afraid that the son-in-law they are looking for has a bad family background, they are afraid that the son-in-law they are looking for is not good for their daughter, knowing that your uncle is infatuated with He Qingwan, who in a good family will send his own daughter over to suffer? If your uncle is a serious character, it is okay to have some respect for his wife, but if you have a good temperament, people can't believe it. Guan Xinyue said.
Li Yao frowned, and asked again, "Who could have spread such a private matter?" β
She felt that the uncle was sincere to Miss Na He in the past, but now she is slacking off in her duties, not necessarily because of Miss Na He, she thinks this is just because of her uncle's temperament, and he is too lazy to manage those tedious things.
And the mother said that outsiders know very little about this matter, and suddenly everyone knows about it, and it is difficult for Li Yao not to suspect that someone did it on purpose, and its purpose is likely to ruin the reputation of the uncle.
"The families of the emperor's relatives and ministers were all there that day, and the matter was only known in a short period of time, and when I found out, it was difficult to find the source." Guan Xinyue also frowned. "Princess Nongmen: Your Highness, don't send it slowly!" The latest chapters of "Paw Book House" are free to read for the first time.
