Chapter 35 Living in the capital is not easy
In the past few days, my head has grown big in rushing to catch up with the manuscript, woo, it's not a human life~ The old rules, send first, and I'm free to repair ~~
On April 13, two days before Jin Zhi's wedding, Qingdai went to Wang San's house to visit Jin Zhi. When Jin Zhi saw her coming, he was very enthusiastic. Qing Dai saw that her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, as if she was a happy bride, and she seemed to be very satisfied with the groom's official between her words, and after gossiping for a while, she knew that Jin Zhi had seen the groom's official before she was married, and this groom's official was also the eldest cousin's classmate and the younger cousin's senior. However, Jin Zhi also mentioned Yu Zidu without saying goodbye, and it seemed that the young man with superb medical skills in the temple had left an indelible impression on her.
Qingdai stayed with her grandmother and grandmother in Jiangning for half a month, and then set off back to Wuzhou. Wang Tao has been sending Qing Dai to the boat, when the boat started, Qing Dai saw through the window Wang Tao standing on the dock Wang Tao was waving desperately to himself, shouting loudly: "See you in the capital the day after tomorrow!" ”
On the third day of the fifth month, Mrs. Shangguan arranged the affairs of the old house in Wuzhou, and took Qingdai on a journey to the capital. All the way to the canal to the land, on the tenth day of the first month of June, Qingdai finally saw the gate of Shangjing, the capital of Daqi, with tears in her eyes, after more than a month of bumps in boats and carriages.
Parking routine inspection, Qing Dai lifted the curtain, looked up at the tall and heavy city wall, shocked and felt infinite emotion in his heart, now he is like a drop in the ocean in this ancient city. And behind this wall is the new city she will live in. Lowering her head, she looked at the long doorway leading to the inner city, where the hustle and bustle had already drifted to her ears with the wind, and she didn't know what was waiting for her in the future......
Not long after, the carriage started again, and Qingdai officially began her life in the capital.
As soon as the car entered the city gate, Chen Dasheng, who had been guarding at the city gate, greeted him, "Say hello to the old lady." ”
Chen Dasheng bowed down and replied: "The old man ordered the little ones to wait behind the city gate for the past three or five days, and the little ones are here every morning every few days. As soon as I saw Fu Bo, I knew that the old lady had arrived, so I greeted him. ”
"Yes!" Chen Dasheng jumped on the wheel and showed the driver the way.
"Mother, it's been a hard journey!" Xiao Feng stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm and got out of the carriage with the old lady in his arms. Aunt Liu Shi Shiran saluted the old lady, the old lady bowed her head, and turned her head to see a group of juniors saluting under the leadership of Shangguan Xi, and the old lady waved her hand busily, "Let's get up." ”
"This is going to be married, what kind of system is it to cry and cry, and it will be passed out to make people laugh." Although she reprimanded Qingqiang, the old lady's tone was not harsh at all, she touched Qingqiang's head, and her eyes were full of love.
Qingqiang sobbed twice and stopped crying, but she didn't let go of the old lady's hand, glanced at Xiao Feng, and turned her head to talk to the old lady in a low voice.
Xiao Feng nodded and smiled, Qing Qiang said "um" lightly, didn't even look at Qing Dai, lowered her head and pulled the old lady's arm and whispered. Qinglian smiled at Qingdai, her smile was reserved and reserved, she hadn't seen her for a few years, but her temperament was a little similar to Aunt Liu. Next to her, Qingwei raised her head and looked at her blankly, obviously not remembering that she still had such a sister as Qingdai. The second brother Shangguan Jie nodded, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly stiff, obviously not used to this kind of scene of recognizing relatives. As for Shangguan Xu, the son born to Xiao Feng the year before last, he was nestled in the nurse's arms at this time and nodded "pecking rice".
Shangguan Xi received Qing Dai's gaze, smiled and arched his hand at her, "My sister has done her filial piety for a few of us in the past three years, and my eldest brother has thanked her here!" Qing Dai has always had a good impression of Shangguan Xi, and at this time, seeing his sincere eyes, she knew that her eldest brother was not the kind of hypocritical person, and when she said this, she really missed that the whole family left her only one child in Wuzhou, and she was afraid that she would feel sad.
Shangguan Xi's eyes were slightly surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Qing Dai twice, and then laughed loudly: "What my sister said is that the eldest brother is in love." ”
Shangguan Xi saw that only he and Qingdai were left at the door, and smiled apologetically: "Third sister, go in!" ”
Qing Dai smiled at Shangguan Xi knowingly, without the slightest hint of displeasure, "Big brother, let's go!" ”
"Now this house is in Daihat Hutong, which was purchased by my grandfather when he was an official in Beijing in his early years, and is located in the northeast of Shangjing City, close to the root of the imperial city." Shangguan Xi pointed to the roof, lowered his voice and said to Qing Dai, "Standing on it, you can see the palace." ”
Shangguan Xi hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "No, I listened to what people said." If the walls of the palace are peered upon like this, wouldn't Daqi be in danger? I estimate that at most, I can see the wind on the cornices of the corner pavilion on the southeast wall. ”
It's normal to think about it, the capital is a land where every inch of land is valuable. What's more, in such a close proximity to the heart of the Great Qi Empire, the land price is much more expensive than other places in the city, not to mention that it is much more expensive than other places in the city. The Shangguan family can have such a mansion in the core center, which shows that the family has a lot of money.
Qing Dai listened quietly and did not say a word.
is an official, a godson, Shangguan Hong is qualified. As for being a father, perhaps only the children he values can play this role well...... Qing Dai secretly mocked, his cheap father wants to come back, and he is also visiting his mother, as for whether his daughter sees it or not, it doesn't matter. Thinking about the time in Wuzhou, Qingqiang and the others showed off in front of them that a small thing on their bodies was given by their father, and even the Qinglian who came out of the concubine would not fall. His birthday was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but when he came back from giving New Year's gifts in three years, Xiao Feng and his brothers and sisters in the backyard symbolically gave a few gifts, and as for him, he didn't even bother to mention his name in the letter, let alone a gift.
No, Qingdai suddenly turned her head and asked with a smile, "Big brother is seventeen this year, right?" When will the third sister marry the new sister-in-law into the door? ”
The Qian family is actually planning for Shangguan Xi to return to his hometown for the autumn test next year, and if he wins, in the spring of next year, with the connections of the Shangguan family and the Qian family in Beijing, he must have a good future for Shangguan Xi. If he doesn't win, he can stay in Hangzhou to study, so that his daughter doesn't have to go to the north to suffer. Moreover, although Shangguan Xi was not as talented as Wang Yangcai back then, he was a down-to-earth scholar, and he worked steadily step by step, so he waited until he was eighteen years old to prepare for the autumn exam, and the possibility of not winning was extremely small.
"You Nizi!" No matter how thick Shangguan Xi's face was, he was teased by his own sister-in-law, and the roots of his ears couldn't help but redden, "The elders are in charge of family affairs." ”
The two entered the main hall with a smile all the way, and when they entered the door, Xiao Feng was talking to the old lady, and Qing Dai and Shangguan Xibina retreated to the side and found a seat to sit down.
The old lady held a list in her hand and pointed at Xiao Feng, "This capital is not as good as Wuzhou, and the etiquette must be comprehensive." The master is running around, at most he has a big idea, and you can't rely on you to help him think about specific things. Do you have to wait for something to go wrong, and then let the master tell you who is sending what is appropriate? Who's right to do what? ”
The old lady put down the gift slip in her hand and glanced at Xiao Feng, "Who knows who is behind it, you don't know if you're a newcomer, but these people have already inquired clearly." If you don't know what is good, it's the one who stumbled you on your back and sold the money to help you count the money? ”
After scolding, the old lady's anger was also smoothed, and her tone softened a little, "Although Fengzhi's official position is not high in Beijing, it is also a serious Wupintang official." You are his wife, and you are his face outside. Even if you don't have an order, you have to behave like a word. It's a good thing to be reserved and cautious, but if you do it, you're a little family. See the big things in the small things, don't let the family look down on our Shangguan family. ”
Cry fast and stop fast.
"Yes!"
The old lady stood up and walked out, and when she passed by, Qing Dai stopped, "Dai girl, let's go!" ”
