Chapter 142: Homecoming
Master Zhang was still proud, thinking that he had stopped asking Miaoli, but who knew that Miaoli was thinking in his heart how could he ask such a stupid question.
Back then, when her father was still there, there were also uncles and uncles who visited the house. When listening to them talk about national affairs, Miao Li only felt that they were the smartest people in the world, and how many problems were in their hands was not a problem.
Look at it now, in less than ten years, the level of courtiers has become like this. is still a book, no wonder it will urge Zhou Shuxuan to come back.
Miaoli asked: "Dare to ask my lord, who is the military power in his hands now, is it directly in the hands of the emperor?" ”
Now the emperor doesn't talk about the military power to balance others, it is estimated that he will be checked and balanced by others. The emperor obviously hated Zhou Shuxuan so much, and he didn't dare to attack him. In addition to Zhou Shuxuan's really usefulness, he is not afraid of the eldest princess.
"In the hands of the eldest princess and the king of Qi." After Lord Zhang finished speaking, he understood everything, and he was unwilling to be stopped by Miao Li like this, the boiled duck had a hard mouth, and Lord Zhang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi himself is also a prince, and he may not be able to help the prince when the time comes." ”
Miao Li exhaled a long breath in her heart, suppressed her anger and said again: "Those fool-like outsiders can't see clearly how the eldest princess and King Qi treat the prince, and people close to adults can't see clearly?" ”
I can't say it anymore, and I'll tell Miaoli that I'm a fool again. Master Zhang could only put away the list and said: "The girl said that the lower official remembered it, but the official release is not the final say of the lower official alone, and he has to return to the prime minister to make plans." ”
On Zuo Xiang's side, Miao Li knew very well in her heart that Zuo Xiang would probably not agree with her. Even if you think she is right, it is very likely that you will not do what she says in order to be angry with her.
Miao Li thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell Xiangye that you thought of this by yourself?" ”
"Why?" Master Zhang doesn't understand very well, Zuo Xiang is very dissatisfied with her now, and saying this idea may change Zuo's opinion of her, after all, they didn't see this.
"I said that I came up with it, and Xiangye probably won't listen. As long as the goal is achieved, whoever says it is the same, anyway, it is for the good of the prince. ”
Master Zhang's opinion of Miaoli has changed a little, and she doesn't seem to be so hateful. It's a woman, but I don't work with them for long. When King Qin returns, these things have nothing to do with Miaoli.
They have no direct interests, his allegiance to King Qin is to increase the official rank, and Miaoli is a husband and wife. He didn't become the daughter of Princess Qin, it seems that Miaoli is much more favored than Princess Qin, and maybe someone will be bigger in the future.
After thinking about it a lot, Mr. Zhang came to a conclusion that he couldn't have a bad relationship with Miaoli.
"Xia Guan knows, thank you girl for mentioning it."
Miao Li expressed her respect and personally sent Master Zhang out to please one by one.
They deliberately found fault and didn't give her anything to do. The day after I came back, Miaoli was still useless.
I still have to find something to do, and when I returned to the concubine's courtyard, Xiaohong was doing embroidery. The house is clean and tidy, and there should be no one to make trouble. Those people are all watching people put down dishes, and if they don't give them some color, they don't know that Erlang God has three eyes.
Xiaohong saw that she was back, put down the work in her hand and said, "The girl is back, what do you want to eat at noon?" The side concubine just let people talk about it, and the girl said what she wanted to eat, and she asked the people in the small kitchen to make it and send it over. ”
Li Youfu really took good care of her, and Miaoli couldn't help but think about it. Li Youfu doesn't know anything, doesn't she really hate herself at all, after all, they want to share a man, and now she is the one who occupies that man.
Miaoli knows about the back house, and the intrigues are no worse than those in the court. They are competitive, and it is difficult to be true friends. Think about it, why did Li Youfu treat her well? Because she is good-looking, the reason why she is not very solid cannot maintain a long and strong relationship.
Miao Li shook her head and said, "No need, I'm going out to visit relatives today, you can thank her for her kindness on my behalf." ”
Xiaohong is a good girl, she will never ask what she shouldn't ask, she just says that she knows.
Miaoli took the silver ticket, changed into clothes that could see people, and then went out. The people in the palace knew that her identity was not ordinary, and no one stopped her.
She is going to pay a visit to the Duke of Dingguo today, and she can't go empty-handed, thinking about buying some things before coming to the door.
The last thing she lacks now is silver, Zhou Shuxuan is a prince of Qingshui, and he still gave her a lot of money when he left. A large part of her money is given by Jiebizhi, and Jiebizhi's treatment is generally not free, and the high price is scary. But he was always in the mountains, and when he had money, he didn't spend it often, so he put it there. Before leaving, he grabbed a large handful of silver tickets for her directly in the money box.
Miao Li counted it later, and there were nearly 100,000 taels of silver. It's almost a year's worth of money for Zhou Shuxuan, and he still has to pay for the expenses of the entire palace.
After picking something satisfactory, Miao Li went to the Dingguo Mansion.
Unlike the situation in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Miao Li was directly stopped outside, and the porter did not let her in.
Miaoli has no post, and it's not easy to do. Miaoli had no choice, thinking about making one last attempt, if it didn't work, she would come back next time.
"Honor, please go in and say that Miaoli from the Qin Palace's mansion came to meet the prince."
The concierge is lazy, and Miaoli doesn't have any substantive expression, and she doesn't want to go through. However, when I heard that Miaoli was from the Qin Palace, I was still a little afraid. pouted and said, "Then I'll try it, it's uncertain whether Guogong will see it or not." ”
"Thank you."
Thinking that it should be to see her back, Miaoli has no one and no doubts.
However, this porter is gone, and Miao Li has stood at the door for a pillar of incense and still hasn't seen anyone come out. She was carrying things by herself, and her hands were a little sore. Maybe there should still be a maid, and it will be much more convenient to have someone follow you when you go out. As soon as Zhou Shuxuan comes back, there should be no problem for her to ask for a maid. She thinks Xiaohong is not bad, has a good personality, and is a powerful person who does not suffer, but she doesn't know what the girl thinks in her heart.
Miaoli was struggling with the maid's affairs, and suddenly heard a very noisy sound from behind the door, as if a lot of people were coming.
Then, I saw that the two doors in front of me were all opened, slowly revealing the scene inside. The door of a large family is not opened casually, and it can only be opened when there is a major event.
Miao Li didn't know why, she raised her eyes and looked over, thinking about whether she should avoid it.
When I saw it, I was frightened by the scene in front of me, and there was a large group of people standing densely inside, almost all of them men. Most of them are young and middle-aged, and there are a few little boys, who should be the grandchildren of Dingguo Gong, and this scene is still very shocking.
Before Miao Li could come to her senses, Dingguo Gong rushed out of it. Looking around with tears in his eyes, "Where is my son?" ”
The eldest princess and Zhou Shuxuan's description of Dingguo Gong is not an exaggeration at all, this should be what my son should refer to her, Miaoli stood up cautiously, saluted and said, "Say hello to my godfather." ”
Dingguo Gong thought that he would not be able to see her anymore, but now seeing her again is really full of tears.
Ding Guogong wiped away his tears and greeted her directly, "You are finally back." Come on, come on, we're home. ”
Miao Li stepped through the gate, and now she seems to understand that this gate is open for her.
Home, such a strange statement, can she still have a home?
After Miao Li entered, the people inside automatically gave way to a way. But his eyes didn't leave her for a moment, as if they were looking at something strange. Everyone wants to have a son to pass on the lineage, and it is really rare for the Dingguo family to want a daughter so much, which is probably the so-called scarcity is expensive.
The things in Miaoli's hands had already been picked up, there were too many people, and she didn't see who it was.
The Duke of Dingguo guided her to the main hall, and there was a white-haired lady waiting inside, who should be the Duchess of Dingguo.
Mrs. also had tears on her face when she saw her, and held her hand and didn't let go, "I'm back, I'm back." ”
From the memory of strangers, Miao Li was really a little moved, and felt that her tears were about to come out, and she said in a choked voice: "Godmother, I'm back." ”
When the godmother shouted, the old lady cried even more. Holding her hand and saying, "What a godmother, I will be a kiss in the future, and I finally look forward to such a daughter." ”
After saying a few more words, a junior came to persuade him. Neither the Duke of Dingguo nor the old lady cried, and sat down on the main seat.
In the future, she also asked people, and Miaoli was not ambiguous, so she knelt down and kowtowed to the second elder, and officially met the elders.
"Alright, alright, let's get up." The old lady hurriedly asked someone to help her up.
I have to meet the old one, and I want to meet the little one. Miaoli was already a little stunned when she shouted to the eleventh brother, and then there were two younger brothers, this is really a big family.
A long time passed after recognizing the person, and Dingguo Gong had a panicked lunch and invited Miaoli to a very grand home-cooked meal.
Obviously, I wasn't very familiar with it before, but now that we meet, it seems that there is an endless amount of talk. Most of them were Miao Li and the old lady talking, and Ding Guogong listened to it with relish.
Seeing that it was not early outside, Miaoli was still in a hurry to go back, so she got up and said goodbye, "Daddy, my daughter is going back to King Qin's mansion, and I will come to see you another day." ”
Dingguo insisted on not being allowed to eat her and calling her godfather.
Dingguo Gong said pitifully: "Just stay here, your yard has already been left in the house, and I will accompany my two elders for a few more days, and I will see that half of our bodies are in the ground." ”
If it weren't for the worry that there would be a government affair looking for her tomorrow, Miaoli would really have to stay.
"My daughter really has some things that she can't let go, so she will come over to accompany her father and mother when she is busy for a while."
She is not an ordinary person in the end, and Ding Guogong has to let people go if she doesn't let them go.
The release is a release, but Ding Guogong insisted that the fifth and sixth children send her back, worried about any danger she encountered on the way.
Miaoli wanted to say no, she came alone when she came, and there was no danger, but she couldn't refuse.
