Chapter 140: A Practical Gift
Action?
Could it be that Li Jin is still thinking about how to deal with her?
Yu Qiuyu thought about it, and once again felt that Li Jin was a little overwhelmed.
"What else does she want to do? How did you find out? ”
Although she knew that even if Li Jin did anything now, it wouldn't affect her, unless she found out that she was not Yu Qiuyu's secret at all, but she just couldn't help but be curious, what else did Li Jin want to do at the end of the year? What else could she do?
After all, life in ancient times was so boring, and it was good to have some fun for yourself.
"She's been planning a marriage lately? When I went to consult my husband, I once saw my aunt frequently going in and out of the homes of major matchmakers, which is the most famous matchmaker's house in our Lingnan. ”
Yu Qiuyu may not have known about it before, but now Yu Qiuyu has some understanding of the matchmaker's marriage situation in Lingnan.
The fees of these major matchmakers are very high, unless Li Jin is going to bring humiliation on himself, otherwise he must have entered the matchmaker's house to ask about marriage.
At the beginning, Yu Qiuyu felt that this Li Jin Bacheng was planning for her marriage again, but now her marriage is Yu Yifan's final say, after all, she married her brother, although her parents died, but her brother was still there, and it was not Li Jin's turn to call the shots.
Therefore, Yu Qiuyu quickly rejected this idea.
Perhaps, people are not looking for matchmakers for their own marriage at all.
Yu Qiuyu calculated all the possibilities that could be calculated by Li Jin, and found that whether it was himself or Yu Yifan, Li Jin couldn't calculate, and he didn't know where to take precautions, so Yu Qiuyu felt that he might be too careful in Li Jin's matter.
"Maybe we're thinking too much this time."
Right now, Yu Qiuyu thought it through, but Yu Yiran still had a bitter little face, looking like he couldn't figure it out.
Yu Qiuyu touched his head with a smile and comforted him.
Yu Yiran nodded, Yu Qiuyu shook his head, and in a trance, Yu Qiuyu thought of something.
"By the way, has the new law implemented by the imperial court been issued?"
It is the law that the law of how old the woman is to marry and how old the man is to marry, and if she is not married, the government will force the marriage.
Thinking of this law, Yu Qiuyu vaguely thought of something, but he didn't say anything.
She raised her eyes to look at the sky, turned around and went into the house to see the things sent by Zhao Xuedian and Song Zhe.
What Zhao Xuedi sent was an antique, and she thought it was fun to have toys, calligraphy, painting, brushes, inkstones, etc., although they were not precious, but they were quite interesting.
Yu Qiuyu watched the things sent by Zhao Xuedie, watched in a pile of boxes for a long time, and finally found something in a pile of things sent by Zhao Xuedie, which was quite abrupt.
A small sleeve crossbow.
She has seen a sleeve crossbow in TV dramas.
The sleeve crossbow is small and exquisite, but the lethality is infinite.
In ancient times, many people didn't know how lethal the sleeve crossbow was, and they even thought that the sleeve crossbow was a trick and was used to curry favor with women.
Yu Qiuyu took the sleeve crossbow out of the box, tied it to his right arm, and moved it, the sleeve crossbow was small and did not affect the movement at all.
She studded her sleeve crossbow with a small arrow and walked out of the house with her sleeve crossbow.
At dusk and sunset, the sunset is like fire, shining on the grass and trees, exuding a translucent luster.
Yu Qiuyu raised his right hand and aimed his crossbow at a stone hidden in the grass and trees.
She took aim and pulled the trap.
The arrows in the Sleeve Crossbow were immediately fired.
"Bang!"
After a dull sound, Yu Qiuyu saw that the stone hidden in the grass was shattered by the arrows in Yu Qiuyu's sleeve crossbow.
The lethality of this sleeve crossbow is really endless.
Yu Qiuyu withdrew her right hand and carefully rubbed the small and delicate sleeve crossbow on her right wrist.
This thing.
Real use!
Back in the house, Yu Qiuyu saw the boxes full of boxes and boxes of rare antiques and the like, and immediately felt that among the bunch of things sent by Zhao Xuedie, the most practical thing was this sleeve crossbow.
However, she still remembered that Zhao Xuedian also sent someone to deliver a letter.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu carefully untied the sleeve crossbow, carefully placed it in the box, and then opened the envelope he had placed on the table.
One is a letter written by Zhao Xuedie.
One letter came from Song Zhe.
She opened the envelope with the words "Sister Qiuyu personally opened" on the cover, and took out a few thin pieces of paper, which were full of dense fly-headed letters.
When he saw the words on the paper, Yu Qiuyu was taken aback again.
It's actually a flyy little guy!
She knew that everyone in ancient times was proud of being able to write fly-headed letters, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xuedian would also be able to.
In fact, it's really no wonder that she was surprised, in her impression, Zhao Xuedie has always been in a hurry, she doesn't look like the kind of girl who will care about these external reputations and the like, she is kind and generous, dare to love and hate, sassy and straightforward, plus she is the respect of the county lord, and even named Chun by the emperor, there are some things that Zhao Xuedie can have without fighting for it.
Yu Qiuyu thought that she might have underestimated the talent of the women of the royal family, although Zhao Xuedi was not a princess from the royal family, she was also half a royal person.
The letter that Zhao Xuedian gave her was full of complaints about her father, irritability with the boring life in the capital, and said that she wanted to return to Lingnan, to ride a horse and gallop, and to punish evil and promote good.
Seeing the words punishing evil and promoting good, Yu Qiuyu almost laughed.
The so-called punishment of evil and promotion of good is actually to bully Li Jin.
Although Li Jin was vicious and unpleasant, thinking of Li Jin being bullied by Zhao Xuedie, Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but sympathize with Li Jin.
Even the slaves and maids dared to bully Li Jin in the name of Zhao Xuedie, and Li Jin's misery can be imagined.
However, after reading the letter sent by Zhao Xuedie, Yu Qiuyu felt that the most important thing in Zhao Xuedie's tirade was the sleeve crossbow.
At the moment of the New Year, the emperor rewarded her with a lot of things, among these things, the most peculiar are the two sleeve crossbows made by skilled craftsmen that the Western Regions paid tribute to the emperor, which can be used for women's self-defense.
The members of the royal family did not know much about the sleeve crossbow, and they all thought that the sleeve crossbow was just a trick to please women and children, and had no practical value, so in the end, the emperor rewarded these two sleeve crossbows to Zhao Xuedie.
They really don't know the goods.
However, Yu Qiuyu felt that she still needed to thank people for not knowing the goods.
If it weren't for the fact that those royals didn't know the goods, where would she go to get such a good treasure?
However, she had to find a good opportunity to tell Zhao Xuedian that these sleeve crossbows were used for self-defense, and her status was noble, so she should make good use of these two sleeve crossbows.
After reading Zhao Xue's things and packing up those kitsch things, Yu Qiuyu once again set his eyes on the things sent by Song Zhe.
It may be that she has always maintained prejudice and shadow in her heart towards Song Zhe before, Yu Qiuyu privately felt that the things sent by Song Zhe must not be comparable with Zhao Xuedie's things.
However, out of politeness, Yu Qiuyu felt that she should still take a look at other people's things.
Yu Qiuyu opened several large boxes sent by Song Zhe in turn, and when he looked at it, Yu Qiuyu was stunned again.
The boxes sent by the people of the Song Mansion were full of fruits from the capital, as well as popular clothes and jewelry, as well as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and toilet boots worn when going up the mountain.
If it is said that Zhao Xuedi sent things here to share fun toys with him, then the things sent by Song Zhe are taking care of his own life.
She put the clothes sent by Song Zhe on her body and compared them.
Yes, it's just right.
I guess I thought I might continue to grow, so I made my clothes a size bigger.
She picked up her boots and put them on her feet, well, too.
Holding a box full of clothes and casual boots, Yu Qiuyu flattened his mouth, surprised and stunned.
This Song Zhe is really, I know her height and even shoe size quite well.
"Faith!"
She almost forgot that Song Zhe also had a letter to herself.
What can be written in the letter?
Yu Qiuyu can guess it without even thinking about it.
It's nothing more than a bumper harvest every year, celebrating more than one year or something, hoping that she can come to the capital to do some food business or something, she found that Song Zhe's eyes only have food, drink, play, and fun, except for these four things, there seems to be nothing particularly important in his life.
Of course, this kind of thing can be excluded for the time being, and when the country is not in danger, Song Zhe does not need to go to the battlefield at all.
But this time Yu Qiuyu seems to have guessed wrong.
Song Zhe's letter to himself was mixed with another letter, which was written in a dignified line, "Yu Yifan personally opened it." ”
Unexpectedly, Song Zhe actually sent a letter.
And this extremely secret letter was actually addressed to Yu Yifan.
Yu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lost.
Originally, Song Zhe didn't talk about himself, what a joyful thing this should be, but he actually felt lost?
This kind of gap and change in mood surprised Yu Qiuyu.
The sky finally darkened completely, and after Yu Qiuyu turned on the lights, there was a sudden noise outside.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought - today is the New Year!
Why is she still doing here?
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu ran out in a hurry.
When she ran to the main hall, Yu Yifan had already returned from official business.
Perhaps it was because the yamen had more official duties, and when he returned to the backyard and sat on a chair in the inner hall, Yu Yifan could not hide his tiredness.
As soon as he stepped into the inner hall and saw Yu Yifan at a glance, Yu Qiuyu was suddenly a little annoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Yu Yiran to work together.
"Xiao Ran, hurry up and pack up the food."
Yu Yiran hurriedly flashed into the kitchen.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Yu Yifan rubbed his eyebrows and nodded.
Yu Qiuyu took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Yifan.
"This letter is a letter from Lord Song to you, you can read it first."
