The door of the ancestral hall closed tightly with a "clang", and the second grandmother threw herself on the door, beating desperately, and shouting desperately:

"Wait! You wait! You can't leave me here alone! ”

There was no sound outside the door, and the second grandmother slid down the door in fear and collapsed to the ground. It's already dark, the ancestral hall is gloomy and cold, in the nine cold days of this Korean land, it's so cold that it drips into ice during the day, not to mention that at night, she doesn't even have a big wool dress, this moment of effort, she is already cold, this night, she can't even stay up! The second grandmother got up violently, banged on the door desperately, and shouted with all her might:

"Let me out! I don't want to die...... Let me out! ”

There was silence outside the door, the second grandmother only felt that her throat was tight, and she shivered and looked back at the courtyard and the dark ancestral hall where the cold wind was raging, fear soaked into her bones like a cold air, and the blood gushing out of the golden lock's body seemed to spread out in the courtyard of this ancestral hall, it turned out that in front of that girl, she was also the same as the golden lock, she could be killed, that one, the future princess, and standing behind her was the prince known as "Yama", the master of Han Di, and her master!

The second grandmother trembled like chaff, hugged her shoulders tightly, and curled up in the corner behind the door, will the second grandmother come to save her? In the past ten years of marriage, he has always been so good to her, and he has never even accepted a room, he will definitely come! But he was too weak and too weak! Anyone can bully him, the old lady won't pay attention to him, and the people won't listen to him, he can't save her, without her, he doesn't know what he will be bullied into in the future! and her children, eldest sister, Feng'er, Brother Run, Brother Run'er is only six years old, if there is no mother...... The second grandmother only felt that her heart was like a knife, and tears gushed out, and when they flowed to her cheeks, they gradually became ice. Ye is right, that young lady is not something she can stretch out her hand, that is the master! He is a man who is to be treated like a prince!

Mama Zheng saw that the second grandmother was dragged out, her face changed slightly, she took a gift from the bamboo leaves, said goodbye, and hurriedly went back to the Juying Pavilion.

The second master chased the second grandmother to the gate of the courtyard, stumbled back, knelt down in front of the old lady Wen, kowtowed heavily, the eldest grandmother also knelt on the ground, kowtowed, the old lady Wen watched Mama Zheng and Zhuye go out, and then stomped her feet and reprimanded:

"Foolish thing! What do you ask me to do? Why don't you hurry up and go to the Juying Pavilion and kneel! ”

The second master looked up at Mrs. Wen fiercely:

"Father?"

Old lady Wen waved his hand,

"Go quickly, you remember, that one is the same as the master! Just go! ”

The second master got up and ran out, the eldest grandmother stood up, hesitating whether to go, the old lady looked at her, as if she was a little weak and ordered:

"Don't go, go back and rest."

The grandmother hesitated for a moment before withdrawing.

Mama Zheng and Zhu Ye hurriedly returned to the Juying Pavilion, and before the report was finished, Zhu Yu came in to report:

"Girl, Second Master Wen is kneeling at the gate of the courtyard."

Li Qing hurriedly got off the kang, and Mama Zheng hurriedly asked Song Ming to take the white fox fur sent by the palace yesterday and put it on Li Qing.

Second Master Wen knelt coldly at the gate of the courtyard of the Juying Pavilion, the courtyard door was wide open, the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door swayed with the wind, the candlelight flickered on the second master's white face, a mother-in-law stood on the side of the courtyard gate with her hands down, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, the two girls wore thick cotton cloaks, turned the shadow wall with lanterns, the second master eagerly raised his head, and saw Li Qing, who was wrapped in pure white fox fur, walked out with a cold face, the white fox fur was shining with a silver light under the candlelight, and the luxury was cold, The ruby on the phoenix hairpin was shining in the candlelight, reflecting Li Qing's deep eyes, distant and distant, the second master's heart tightened, Li Qing stopped in front of him, his voice was gentle and soft but cold,

"Get up."

Saying that, he continued to walk outside the courtyard, the second master hurriedly stood up and followed, and the group quickly arrived in the front yard and entered the main hall.

Old lady Wen stood up, stepped forward and took two steps, Li Qing bowed his knees, lowered his eyes and said:

"Please spare my uncle and grandmother this time."

Second Master Wen had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing,

"Please spare your daughter-in-law this time!"

Old lady Wen made a straight face, "hummed", looked at Second Master Wen and said:

"When I saw my niece's face, I spared your daughter-in-law this time."

Second Master Wen was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and rushed out, Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and instructed Mama Zheng:

"Explain to the girl who is waiting next to the second grandmother, carry it back, rub her hands, feet and chest with some strength, knead them all red, and then soak them in warm water, the water can't be too hot, soak for a while and then slowly heat the water in, then drink some ginger soup, and ask a doctor to diagnose the pulse."

Mama Zheng agreed and confessed. Li Qing said goodbye and went back to the chrysanthemum theater.

Entered the main house, sat down on the kang in the east chamber, Li Qing held the hand stove, sighed comfortably, bamboo leaves walked to the kang, hung his head and knelt on the ground, Li Qing looked at her with a smile, and ordered:

"Go make me a cup of tea first, and it's not too late to kneel if you want to come back."

Zhu Ye was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up to make tea, and held it up with a carved tray, Li Qing took the cup and took a sip, Zhu Ye stood next to him, hesitating whether to kneel or not, what does the girl mean? Li Qing put down the cup, tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, Zhu Ye didn't look like he was annoyed when he looked at Li Qing, his heart relaxed a little, and he muttered:

"Girl, it's all the slave's fault."

"Oh? What's wrong with you? ”

Li Qing asked with a smile:

"Girl, all this is because of the slave maid."

"I'm asking, what is wrong with you, not asking who you are responsible for."

Li Qing looked at Zhuye with a smile and said, her girl, she doesn't want them to bear the fault that doesn't belong to her, at least in her yard, they are also complete people, and they also need the least fairness and safety. Zhu Ye looked at Li Qing with some confusion,

"Girl?"

"Follow me, a mistake is a mistake, a mistake is no mistake, what's wrong with you? In the future, don't kneel down and admit your mistakes at every turn, it's not your own fault, and don't admit it randomly! If you want, I don't want to! ”

Zhu Ye's eyebrows and eyes stretched, her eyes were shining, Li Qing looked at her, smiled, and said with a straight face:

"It's just that you remember it, your girl doesn't have any power to let anyone fight, and you all remember it! Do a good job in a down-to-earth manner, be a man in your duty, if there is anything, I will naturally make the decision for you, if anyone does something frivolous because of being an errand in this courtyard, don't blame me for being polite! Zhuye tell me what I said, Lao Tzu and Lao Niang! ”

The girls in the house solemnly bent their knees and replied:

"Yes!"

The next day, it snowed heavily in Handi, Li Qing had never seen such a big snow, and was a little excited, commanding the little girl and the mother-in-law to pile up several strange-shaped snowmen in the yard, the chrysanthemum theater was happy up and down, Mama Zheng commanded everyone to clean and arrange, and Li Qing asked people to buy dozens of small red lanterns with long tassels, which were hung all over the yard, and the yard was dressed up in a festive manner.

On the twenty-eighth of the year, Ding Yi asked to see him, and sent a bunch of exquisite ice lanterns, several large boxes of various gold and silver bills, purses for rewarding people, more than a dozen pots of half-opened narcissus, two pots of excellent camellias, and other edible products, and also brought the news that Qiuyue and Liuli would not be able to arrive in Pingyang Mansion a few days later due to heavy snow, Li Qing was slightly disappointed. However, the various ice lanterns piled up in the yard quickly diluted her disappointment, Li Qing became excited again, and instructed the girls to arrange the ice lanterns, Mama Zheng did not allow her to go out of the house, she had to command through the window.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Qing was sick, and he only guarded the Juying Pavilion for a single step, and Second Master Wen personally sent several large baskets of fireworks for Li Qing to see.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Li Qing went to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Wen, and gave several young masters and ladies of the Wen family a year-old gold and silver bills, and was impatient to socialize, so he returned to the chrysanthemum theater with illness.

It wasn't until the sixth day of the new year that Zhao Yong took Qiuyue and Liuli into the Pingyang Palace, Zhao Yong entered the outer study to meet the prince, and King Ping asked with a cold face:

"Why did you send it back?"

Zhao Yong hurriedly took out a small old box from his arms, put it on with both hands, and replied:

"If you go back to your master, the slave obeyed the will of the master and went to Hangu Temple to pick up people, Master Guangci recruited the slave, asked about the master and the young lady, showed the slave the box, and asked the young lady to bring it, because this box is too important, the slave did not dare to hand it over to others, for fear of a mistake, so he sent it back by himself."

King Ping raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and reached out to take the box.
