Chapter Seventy-Eight: Great-Grandfather
When the holy decree came down, the entire government and the opposition seemed to be speculating about the empress's holy will, and the spies of the Jinxuan Division said that many ministers were speculating behind their backs that the empress had the intention of appointing Li Chongrui as the crown prince. However, there are also people with whom I have a very good personal relationship who come to my house to congratulate me.
Chunniang came to my door every day to prepare things for me to marry, but I was happy to see her busy every day.
Chun Niang and I often go to the Agarwood Building for a drink, and we only smile to congratulate Li Chongrui and I on finally becoming a family.
That day, the sun was shining, I was sitting in the agarwood building as usual, but I saw an old man walking towards me, only sitting opposite me, but did not say a word, just looked at me lightly, I saw that there seemed to be water in his eyes, so he asked: "Can the old man know me?" ”
Li Fu only stood beside him obediently: "This is the Pavilion Master." ”
I was stunned, my heart was extremely sour, in this world, my only remaining relatives, can be turned out with a palm, although I am the pavilion master of Lin Zhan Pavilion, but I have never been to Yangzhou, I have never seen the old pavilion master, my great-grandfather. When I think of the letters over the years, and every time I arrange the troops, there is an old man who helps me from afar.
The great-grandfather only said: "I heard that the empress gave you a marriage to the second highness, I think I will not have a few years to live, you are the child of Twilight, Twilight is the one I grew up watching, and I am very smart." You too, you are also the smartest, you have suffered all these years, Wan'er. ”
When I came out of the court, I did not shed any more tears, and after my mother and grandmother were gone, I had no reason to shed tears, but walked step by step towards my purpose, to the one who had the highest power. Getting rid of traitors and traitors has always raised the reputation of the Shangguan family.
I looked at my great-grandfather, and only smiled: "Great-grandfather, Wan'er is very good now, you don't have to worry, Yangzhou to Chang'an, the road is so far, but it makes you tired, I should have gone to see you, but now with an official position, if you go to Yangzhou, I am afraid it will attract suspicion, after all, I think about it in every way, or I want to wait for me to get married, step down as Shaoqing of the Jinxuan Division, and then go to Yangzhou, I will always be worry-free." ”
Great-grandfather nodded, Li Fu asked people to send a big box, great-grandfather said warmly: "These are all from when I first heard that you were born, I saved a gift for you every year, but I didn't expect that it would be so many years, but it was not sent out for a long time." This time, I will stay in Chang'an for a long time, and I will live here in Lifu, you can rest assured. Rui said that I, Lin Zhange, am not enemies of the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, and it is not good to let others know the relationship between you and Lin Zhange. ”
I took the big box back to the house, opened it and found some children's toys and girls' jewelry, for a while only felt sour, Chun Niang happened to be in my yard, saw this and only asked me: "Why is this crying?" I've never seen you bow your head, and I've never seen you shed tears. ”
I choked up: "My great-grandfather came from Yangzhou to see me, because he heard the news that I was given marriage, this box is a birthday gift he saves every year, one every year." Chunniang, from childhood to adulthood, my relatives can count them with one palm and fingers. From the court to today, there are only a handful of tears that have made me cry, and I have never felt that my fate should be like this, but I only feel a little sad occasionally. But today I know that I still have a relative left in this world, and I have been thinking about me day and night in the distance. ”
Chunniang couldn't help but hugged me but gently coaxed: "It's okay, it's okay, you're not alone, there is always His Royal Highness by your side, and me, as well as Qi Xin, are all by your side." ”
Until the evening, Li Chongrui came to my house, and now he no longer avoids others, but just comes whenever he wants.
hugged me gently: "Listen to the maid, you cried a lot today, but who provoked you, why did you cry like a little rabbit, your eyes are red." ”
I just looked at him: "My great-grandfather came to Chang'an, staying in the Agarwood Building, I used to think that I had no relatives, and no one missed me, but when I saw my great-grandfather today, he would save a birthday gift for me every year, just because I was in the court, and later I was a female envoy by the empress's side, but I never had the opportunity to send it." I heard that His Majesty gave us a marriage, so I came from Yangzhou. I only knew that my great-grandfather was also thinking about me day and night, and every time he stirred up the storm in Chang'an City, he would sweat for me. ”
He took my hand: "Since my great-grandfather is here, I should also go to visit, and he can't watch the ceremony when we get married in September, so we should go together." ”
We walked down the long street, and in the evening the lanterns on the street had been lit, and we did not ride horses or prepare carriages, but walked hand in hand, his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and the bridge of his nose cast a shadow on his face in the light of the lanterns.
The guests of the Agarwood House come and go, and they naturally know that many famous nobles will come to this Agarwood House for dinner, and it is not unusual for me to come here often. What's more, I have already regarded the Agarwood Building as a daily feast and drink place for the brothers of the Jinxuansi. No one doubts.
The great-grandfather sat in the box, dressed in a white robe, with a fairy wind and bones.
Li Chongrui made a gesture first: "I have heard Mr. Daming's name for a long time, I have admired you for a long time, I know that you are the great-grandfather of Shangguan, we should come to visit together, I originally thought that we would go to Yangzhou together after marriage, so as to avoid people's eyes." Now that the Son of Heaven is married, I will take good care of Shangguan and will not let her suffer a little grievance, and my great-grandfather can rest assured. ”
Great-grandfather only said: "Wan'er's hardship, if her family was not condemned by the empress back then, I am afraid that now the family is also harmonious, and she is pampered and grew up, how can she be in the court, facing the most fateful place in the palace city every day." She would get frostbite on her hands in the winter, and when her mother and grandmother had just died, she would be scared and unable to sleep every night. Fortunately, he was smart and got the court. I know that the Second Highness is the most outstanding son of the empress, and I only hope that you can treat my Wan'er well. ”
Me: "My great-grandfather knew I had chilblains on my hands?" ”
Great-grandfather only said: "Mama Chang often writes back to Yangzhou, I know your every move, do Xu Jingzong, bring down Wu Xuan, pile by pile, although I am in Yangzhou, I am hanging in my heart is your little slippery head." Now that you're getting married, it's time for me to show my face. We live tremblingly, walking on thin ice, and our relatives are afraid of making people suspicious when they see each other, making a big mistake and harming the pond fish. If you can choose, your great-grandfather will do his best to bring you and your mother back to Yangzhou, so that you will not suffer from the chaos in Nayeting, but he is carrying a heavy burden at a young age. ”
I shook my head: "Wan'er is responsible for the glory of the entire Shangguan family, and A-Niang's last wish is just for me to help the lintel of Shangguan, if one day, I will definitely turn things around and overturn the case for my grandfather and father." ”
