006 Letter from Beijing
Today's Great Zhou Dynasty began to decline fifty years ago. At that time, Qian Mi, a native of Lin'an Mansion, seized the opportunity of the imperial court to fight against the Tartars in the north, united several Jiangnan clans, and raised troops to revolt on the grounds of resisting the imperial court's tyrannical expropriation, so that there was now Wu Yue Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River.
"If you can change the world, it won't be a bad thing." Mr. Jiang said quietly.
Du Mingxin nodded and did not respond. This gentleman of hers did not have the same reverence for the court as Xiaomin, and his words often revealed such rebellious thoughts. Since she had a sneak peek in her previous life, she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with Mr. Jiang's thoughts, but the master and apprentice were quite able to talk about it.
On the day of Du Mingxin and Lu, the second master finally knew how ugly it was, and sent someone to send some head jewelry, clothing and other things. He also prepared another gift to thank Mr. Jiang for his kindness in taking care of Du Mingxin in the past two years.
Time flies, and two years have passed, Du Mingxin is already a seventeen-year-old girl, and she is no longer the coquettishness of the little girl under Songshan Mountain.
The world is the same as the previous life, and Chen Yuantai entered the capital in September of this year. Before the fall of Miyagi, Emperor Changqing of the Great Zhou was stabbed to death by the people who served around him, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs opened the palace gate and presented the head of Emperor Changqing to Chen Yuantai. At this point, the Great Zhou Emperor, which lasted for more than 260 years, came to an end.
In October, Chen Yuantai ascended the throne as emperor in the Qianqing Palace, established the Yan Dynasty, and named his wife Deng as the queen, and Chen Jun, the son of the Deng family, as the crown prince. Those who have meritorious service from the dragon are rewarded, and the highest one is Chen Yuantai's righteous son Chen Xi, who opened the mansion and built a tooth for the king of Jin.
When the news reached Shuiqingyuan, Du Mingxin was packing up his things and was about to resign to Mr. Jiang.
“…… I originally wanted to stay by my husband's side and serve you for the rest of my life," Du Mingxin's face rarely showed a bit of decadence, "But my father's fate is hard to disobey, and if I argue again, a disobedient hat will be buckled down......"
Du Mingxin was telling the truth. In the past four years, she has experienced the warmth and care that she has never experienced in her life by Mr. Jiang's side. Sometimes she can't even tell whether Mr. Jiang is a teacher or a mother.
She thought about it countless times and proposed to her father to stay in Shui Qingyuan, and was even willing to give up to find the secret of her death in her previous life. But in this life, in the letter that the eldest uncle invited his father to go to the capital to plan an official position, he repeatedly stated that he wanted to take Du Mingxin with him.
Later, the corners of Du Mingxin's eyes were already full of water. Mr. Jiang was a little unbearable, walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulder and said, "This is a bit silly, where can you accompany me for the rest of your life?" Don't you want to get married? ”
Du Ming choked up and said: "You are not married, I look much better than most of the wives and grandmothers in the big families......
Oh, how good is that...... Mr. Jiang chuckled at the corner of his mouth, she reached out to help Du Ming straighten out her not messy sideburns, and knew in her heart that she was a little afraid.
After being together day and night for so long, Mr. Jiang knew very well that Du Mingxin was hiding a secret, and this secret involved her life. Seeing the originally open-minded girl crying like this, Mr. Jiang couldn't bear it. The moment she said it, she regretted it a little, but she finally said it: "Then I'll pack up my things and go to the capital with you, and when you settle down, I'll come back, okay?" ”
There was a bit of doting in the words, like a mother whispering to comfort a frightened child.
Du Mingxin raised his head suddenly, blinked his watery apricot eyes, and said with a smile: "Sir, isn't it tricking me?" ”
Are you really going to the capital? Mr. Jiang also kept asking himself in his heart. But looking at the glittering hope in Du Mingxin's eyes, she sighed and said with a smile: "Since I promised you, I naturally won't regret it." ”
Du Mingxin took a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and smiled happily: "Then I will go back and tell my father, he will definitely be willing to ask you to go with us!" ”
As soon as the new dynasty was established, most of the areas on both sides of the Yellow River were descended from the wind, and Chen Yuantai did not drastically rectify the officials, and most of them remained in office. Even the nobles in the capital, he only took two of the top birds to kill chickens and monkeys, and the rest only bowed down to the vassals, and Chen Yuantai didn't even give them the title.
Therefore, if Mr. Jiang can be used to establish a relationship with the Wei State Mansion, the second master will not be able to ask for it.
"Let's go back!" Mr. Jiang touched her head and urged with a smile, "Your father has set a date, remember to send someone to inform me." ”
Du Mingxin nodded and went home happily.
As soon as she entered the second gate of Dufu, she saw the maids and women who were busy coming in and out of the yard, and the main room was also full of chickens and dogs.
Aunt Liu sat on the front seat of the main house, listening to the people asking for instructions back and forth with some absent-mindedness. She saw Du Mingxin come in with the curtain, and when her hands were beaten, a bowl of tea was almost spilled.
Du Mingxin didn't make a sound, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. Because Aunt Liu is a concubine, her heart is greatly favored by the second master. The offside is humble, the more inferior you are, the more you want to take Qiao, and the more you pay attention to losing people and not losing the battle. It's rare for her to lose her temper like this today.
"Coming back?" Aunt Liu hid her somewhat flustered emotions, and pretended to sit calmly and said.
Reasoning, she should get up and say hello to Du Mingxin. But the rules in this house have already been messed up in the hands of the second master, and Du Mingxin didn't care about her, and casually responded "um".
At this time, Du Mingyan walked out of the inner room of the main room and said excitedly: "Mother, I found this jade bracelet in my father's box, you said that you should not show your timidity when you take this as a gift to your cousin in your uncle's house, right?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Mingyan saw Du Mingxin sitting in the hall and sneered: "Aren't you happy to go to the capital?" Why did you come back cheekily again? Could it be that you wanted to stay in Shui Qingyuan, but were driven back by Mr. Jiang? ”
After saying that, she thought it was very funny, so she covered her mouth and laughed.
Du Mingxin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only asked Aunt Liu: "What about my father?" ”
Aunt Liu didn't cheer her daughter as usual, and was stunned for a long time before replying: "The master is watching people clean up things in the outer courtyard." ”
Du Mingxin said: "Then I'll wait for my father to come into the inner courtyard, and then come to say goodbye." After that, she didn't wait for Aunt Liu to answer, so she took someone back to her yard.
Since she was seven years old, she has not lived in Du Fuchang, so there is nothing in the house, and Mama Cui has already cleaned up with Qiulin and Dongzhi.
Du Mingxin saw that Mama Cui had a happy look, and couldn't help asking, "Does Mama really want to go to the capital?" ”
Cui Mama smiled: "I'm a half-cut person, where can I like to join in the fun like a child?" It's just that you are so old, and you were delayed by the war before, but now that the new emperor is here, let's go to the capital again, and the marriage in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion will be easy to talk about! ”
