Chapter 9: Miss Shen
In a trance, someone gently pushed her,
"Girl, girl!"
Li Qing opened his eyes in a daze, and what came into view was Qiu Yue's smiling face, yesterday, the beautiful and cold moonlight seemed to be a dream, Li Qing frowned slightly,
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time, you have to hurry."
Liuli came in with Mama Zheng with the washing water, Li Qing called Mama Zheng, handed her a thick envelope, and commanded in a low voice:
"Mama, no matter what, immediately find a way to send this letter to Lian Qing and ask him to do it quickly. The sooner the better! The sooner the better! ”
Qiuyue and Liuli waited for Li Qing to get up in a hurry, and after freshening up, Li Qing took Qiuyue to the main courtyard to ask for peace. Ruri went to the big kitchen.
She went to the main room every day at two o'clock in the first day of the morning to say goodbye, of course, the lord and the lady never saw her, she just stood in the courtyard for a while, kowtowed, and then was sent back by the girls.
The two hurried to the courtyard of the main house, holding a basin of water, a handkerchief, and a hot water kettle, and the girls and mothers-in-law stood in a row at the door of the house with bated breath, waiting for the summons. Li Qing took Qiuyue to stand quietly behind, tomorrow the people from the Ministry of Rites will come to pick her up, is Li Yunsheng telling her today? Or will we talk about it tomorrow? Or you won't see her at all, just find a girl to pass on the word. In the midst of his thoughts, the curtain was lifted, and the girl at the door began to rush in, and then withdrew one after another.
After a while, the kitchen man carried a big food box and entered the yard, and the little girls at the door took it one by one and sent it in, Li Qing moved her legs, she slept too late yesterday, and her head hurt a little at this time. A woman wearing emerald green silk and a beautiful and gentle face lifted the curtain and came out, Li Qing raised her head, recognized it as Aunt Yu, and bent her knees slightly to give her half a blessing, Aunt Yu hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile:
"Miss, the lord let you in."
Li Qing bowed his head and agreed, and followed Yuhu into the house. On the couch in the house, Li Yunsheng and his wife were sitting opposite each other for breakfast, Aunt Yan and a few big girls were waiting beside them, Li Qing knelt down with low eyebrows and kowtowed to say goodbye, Mrs. Li didn't look at her, Li Yunsheng put down his chopsticks, frowned and stretched out, and said in a calm and cold tone:
"The court selects female officials, as the people of Daqing and the daughter of the Li family, it is indispensable to share the responsibilities of the monarch, the country and the family, prepare well, and the Ministry of Rites will come to pick up people tomorrow."
Li Qing raised his head to look at Li Yunsheng, Li Yunsheng waved his hand to signal her to go down, but Mrs. Li raised her head and sneered, "Hmph!" With a sigh, Li Qing quietly and calmly retreated, turned around and came out.
The little girl at the door opened the curtain, Li Qing walked out of the house, Qiu Yue stepped forward and helped her down the steps, and saw Li Minhua dressed in red, and entered the courtyard surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law. Li Qing took Qiu Yue to the side, Li Minhua walked in front of her, stopped again, turned his head and walked half a step, standing in front of her, a fireworks-like smile bloomed on his youthful and beautiful face:
"Sister, I will marry in Huaiyang Wangfu in October to be the wife of the county king, but unfortunately my sister is an official slave and can't drink wine!"
Li Minfei also stopped, looked at Li Qing with disdain, and stepped forward to take Li Minhua's hand:
"Sister, let's go in quickly, father and mother are in a hurry."
Li Minhua nodded, turned around and walked inside, chuckling in a cherry-like ruddy and small mouth:
"A natural!"
Li Qing looked at her quietly and indifferently, her eyes were full of pity, how could this life that was so young, so fresh, and so flying survive the long days after October?
Qiu Yue helped Li Qing out of the courtyard with an angry face, Li Qing looked back at her, smiled and comforted:
"Don't be like this, Qiuyue, you remember, to be angry with someone who has nothing to do with you is to punish yourself for the mistakes of others, only the people you care about, the people you love, do the wrong things, do things that hurt you, it is worth your anger and sadness."
Qiu Yue looked at Li Qing with tears in her eyes, and screamed in a low voice sadly:
"Girl......"
Li Qing stopped, reached out and stroked her cheek, and said in a calm but firm tone:
"Qiuyue, since you follow me, you have to learn to face any change calmly, if there is anything, find a way to solve it, don't cry or complain, you really can't solve it, then accept it! And then look at it on a different side, maybe it's not all bad. ”
Qiu Yue listened carefully and nodded solemnly.
Mama Zheng was waiting at the gate of the courtyard and kept looking, and when she saw Li Qing coming, she hurriedly greeted her and reported in a low voice:
"I heard that the snow man's family received the business of sending oil and rice to the house, and this morning just sent the rice over, and hurriedly sent the letter to Lian Qing, just now Lian Qing asked the mulberry branch from the back corner door to pass the word, and he had already let Mu Tong ride a fast horse to the temple. I also brought a letter. ”
After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Qing, Li Qing hurriedly unfolded it, his brows stretched slightly, and he walked into the house quickly. Liuli made a cup of tea and handed it to Li Qing, Li Qing took it, motioned for the three of them to sit down too, and then said:
"I'm going to enter the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, and I don't know where I'll go for a while, and in the future, it's all up to Lian Qing and the three of you to go around. Everyone be careful in everything, and remember: no matter what the situation, you must protect yourself first, and you can only help me if you save yourself! ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mama Zheng, and said with a forced smile:
"Mama could have died in Lifu, and she didn't have to bear these shocks and sufferings, but now she ......"
Mama Zheng stood up and said solemnly:
"Girl, where did this come from! Since the girl's nurse went, I was pointed out to the girl, over the years, the girl cherished me and respected me, and the old woman knew that the girl in her heart was like her own daughter!
The old woman entered the palace at the age of ten, and married the county lord to the Li family, and she has seen a lot of experience, and she can afford to be surprised and suffer! As long as the girl takes care of herself, the old woman and Lian Qing can still do the things outside! ”
Li Qing stood up and gently hugged Mama Zheng, Mama Zheng took her in her arms, patted her on the back and said:
"The things in the palace, Mama knows it, Mama wants to explain to the girl......"
At the right time, a little girl ran into the Leaning Moon Pavilion and reported:
"Miss Shen came to see Miss."
Mama Zheng grabbed the little girl who turned around and wanted to leave and asked:
"Does Madame know?"
"Madame asked me to report it."
After speaking, he turned around and ran, and after a while, Mama Zhong respectfully took Shen Qingye to the Leaning Moon Pavilion, Shen Qingye entered the courtyard gate, stopped, and said with a dignified smile:
"Thank you Mama for bringing me over, Mama will go down first."
Mama Zhong smiled and respectfully retired.
Li Qing greeted him down the steps, Shen Qingye hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward and took Li Qing's hand, and entered the house together.
The two sat down on the couch in the east wing, and Qiuyue and Liuli brought tea up, and then they both retreated, leaving only the two of them to talk in the room.
Shen Qingye looked out of the bare window, looked at Li Qing carefully, and said with a smile:
"This yard is really barren! Qingqing is good-natured. ”
Li Qing also laughed,
"Now, that's all I have left. You came to see me, did you know about my entry into the government? Speaking of which, you are here to solve my question, why did you suddenly choose a female officer? ”
Shen Qingye smiled gracefully, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help laughing again:
"Qingqing, I really convinced you, the book says that people 'tigers and wolves are at the bottom of the stairs, and they still talk about cause and effect', I don't believe it, I really saw it today."
"You'd better solve my doubts first."
Li Qing urged, Shen Qingye put down the cup, sighed and explained:
"I heard my father say that it was because Xi Di sent troops to fight Dasanguan, but he didn't get Dasanguan, but let the king of Naping occupy Longping Mansion, the court sent people to Handi, and he didn't notice it for a while, and he was also caught by the king of Naping, and King Ping made a fuss, it is said that Chen soldiers lined up outside Shangling Pass, and the court in order to appease him, it was also Xi Di's own bad, so he allowed him to lead the governor of Longping Mansion, hereditary replacement, and Xi Di also sent envoys to beg the court to help them recapture Longping Mansion, and the court in order to appease King Ping and King Fu, A group of female officials were recruited from among the families of officials below the third rank and sent to Handi, Xidi and Jindi. ”
Li Qing listened quietly, Shen Qingye paused, hesitated for a moment, and continued:
"I heard my father say that the court also named Qingbo as the lord of Ninghe County this time, and gave him the son of the king of Xidi Nan, and he will leave for the big wedding in Xidi in October."
Li Qing raised her head in surprise, that young lady who was proud and proud, had outstanding talents, and was as clean and beautiful as a lotus flower under the moon, was actually pointed out to such a son! It turns out that there are always people around her who are more unfortunate than her, and at least she has room for such a marriage.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he asked curiously:
"Is this marriage given? What about Korea? ”
Shen Qingye was slightly uncomfortable, lowered his head and drank tea, and after a while, he said nonchalantly:
"Princess Naping is the daughter of the old Prince Anfu, married in the second year and gone, I heard that only one daughter was left, in the past seven or eight years, the court wanted to marry again several times, but was rejected by King Ping on the grounds of unforgettable wife, now at this time, it is too late for the court to appease him, how can he make this matter unhappy. However, this time, the female officer will probably give him more. ”
Li Qing's brows furrowed, then he stretched out, pouted and said:
"It's okay anywhere else, I just don't want to go to Handi, it's too cold! I'm going to freeze to death! ”
Shen Qingye looked at her thoughtfully, and said leisurely:
"Those wild places are naturally not as good as the capital, Qingqing can stay in the capital."
The two talked again, and Shen Qingye got up and said goodbye.
