Chapter 209: The Covenant of the Drunken Immortal Tower
Although Xie Xiang is old, he is still very active. It's only been two days, Qin Mingyue received Xie Xiang's post, and agreed to go to Xicui Pavilion on the outskirts of the capital to enjoy the flowers two days later.
Although it is the height of summer, there is a sparkling lake next to Xicui Pavilion, half a lake lotus, and a pool of cool air, which makes the business of the restaurant next to Xicui Pavilion very good.
One of the most famous restaurants is the Drunken Immortal Building. This drunken immortal building is three floors high, among them, there is only one room on the third floor, the layout is generous, the scenery on all sides, and the cool breeze gusts. Today, the third floor of this drunken immortal building has been taken down early.
When Qin Mingyue stepped into the room, she saw two elegant old men, wearing muslin robes, admiring the lotus flowers in the pool in front of the window.
Qin Mingyue greeted these two. One of them is naturally Xie Xiang, but he is dressed very plainly today, with light green clothes and a white jade hairpin on his head, like an ordinary old man. It's just that in the eyes that are already a little cloudy, a glimmer of light flickers from time to time.
The other one, needless to say, is Yu Liangpeng that Qin Mingyue is going to see today. According to the information provided by Yu Liangpeng according to the Xingxing Building, he is not only young and talented, but also has a smooth career, and he is also a capable official, whether he is a county magistrate, or a governor of a prefecture or even a governor of a province later, he has done his political achievements with trepidation. This is really a shining political star.
Unfortunately, when his career was in full swing, his wife died of illness. Because of the death of his wife, he was disheartened and finally hung up his crown and left.
As for the story of him and his wife, Xingxinglou actually has an investigation. The two of them are actually cousins, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. My cousin has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and after her mother died, she could only live in her grandfather's house. Although my grandmother is particularly fond, I can't help but feel sad. is already weak and has a lot of thoughts, so naturally he is even more frail and sickly.
But such a weak willow supporting the wind made Yu Liangpeng like it even more. After the two secretly fell in love, they were opposed by their parents. Yu Liangpeng's mother did not agree with her cousin marrying Yu Liangpeng. Yu Liangpeng struggled with his family for several years, and even until he was named on the gold list, her mother had no choice but to agree to the marriage of the two. However, at this time, the two were already in their twenties.
This is how rare it is in an era when it is common to marry and have children in their teens. After marriage, the two had a very strong relationship. No matter where Yu Liangpeng works, he takes his wife with him. Within a few years, his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Yu Liangpeng, who had both children and daughters, was full of spirit and worked hard. However, when he became a feudal official, he found that his wife was terminally ill.
This was too much of a blow to him. He sought medical treatment everywhere and treated his wife in every possible way. Helplessly, his wife had run out of oil, and finally passed away with endless affection.
Yu Liangpeng was hit by a huge blow and his hair turned gray overnight. Originally, he wanted to go with his wife, but his two young children made him unable to let go, so he could only survive.
Yu Liangpeng hung up his crown and left, took a pair of children, returned to his hometown, and lived a secluded life.
It is said that at that time, Yu Liangpeng's parents in his hometown were very sad, and Yu Liangpeng's mother scolded her son and daughter-in-law for being unfilial, and also said that she prevented her daughter-in-law from marrying into her own family because she saw that she was a short-lived appearance, weak and would bring her good son, and now it is so. The most outstanding son of the Yu family, Yu Liangpeng, who is in the middle of the day, really ruined his future because of this cheap woman.
In the face of his mother's accusations, Yu Liangpeng did not choose to forbear, nor did he choose to act in accordance with filial piety and bow his head and admit his mistakes. He simply moved out of his home and buried his wife in a feng shui treasure site he had personally chosen, where he married and kept filial piety for three years.
Three years later, he began to travel the world with his children, teaching a pair of children, while placing his affection on the landscape and doing some business. Therefore, life is quite good.
Later, the children have been married, and after a few years, his parents are gone.
However, this kind of life also has a fly in the ointment, that is, Yu Liangpeng's sons and daughters, although he has loved them in every way, but their mother has always been frail, so their brother and sister are born weaker than ordinary children. When I grew up, I have always been cultivated with medicine.
Fortunately, although Yu Liangpeng is no longer an official, the Yu family is also a local noble family, and there are many industries in the family, and Yu Liangpeng has a lot of industries by himself. Later, after his parents died, he gave him some more, and he was good at running the industry, multiplying the family's property dozens of times and becoming a local wealth. It is more than enough to provide medicine for the children.
After a pair of children got married, they lived very comfortably, and the only bad thing was that his children had always been in poor health.
Until last year, Yu Liangpeng's son, who was thirty years old, could no longer support it and couldn't afford to get sick. Yu Liangpeng searched for a good doctor, although he was lucky to find a miracle doctor, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the miracle doctor faced this natural lack of physique, and there was no way, he must find Jiuye Yuzhi in order to give Yu Liangpeng's son a life.
There was no way, Yu Liangpeng inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of Jiuye Yuzhi, and finally found out that Jiuye Yuzhi was in Qin Mingyue's hands, so he hurriedly took the divine doctor and his son to the capital together.
However, there is another news that Xie Xiang does not know.
That is, Yu Liangpeng's son needs Jiuye Yuzhi to continue his life. His daughter has married into another prestigious family in his hometown, and her health is not good, although she is not as bad as her brother, but she does not have a few years to live, which is caused by congenital deficiencies. If you can use Jiuye Yuzhi as medicine, maybe you can also improve your physique.
Because Yu Liangpeng's daughter is not in good health, she only gave birth to two sons, and she will not give birth to any more. Yu Liangpeng's daughter is very eager to heal her body, and it is best to have another daughter.
Because of these news, Qin Mingyue was even more confident.
At this moment, in the face of this well-known infatuated lover, the prime minister's candidate highly recommended by Prime Minister Xie Xiang, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but take a serious look.
Yu Liangpeng's face was ruddy, with the color of wind and frost, and his eyes were like cold stars, full of wisdom. A white hair is neatly groomed, although he is already an old man in his sixties, but his back is straight, if you don't look at the white hair, some people will believe it if he says that he is forty.
Qin Mingyue's first impression of Liangpeng was very good.
