Chapter 9: Even if It's a Wandering!
The house has always been quiet, but it is lively at this time, no, it should be called chaos.
The head of the family, Ling Kongshan, was walking around outside the Lan Pavilion, and the wind chimes were bursting, matching with his anxious footsteps.
On a chair not far from him lay a woman just over thirty.
The woman was dressed in jewels, her body was plump, but her clothes were disheveled, and the green silk was scattered, and she bent her head and wept lowly, not daring to make a loud noise.
Not long after, an anxious figure appeared in the distance outside the hospital, and Zhang Meishika was helping her to come in.
The person who came was Ling Kong Mountain's mother, Ling Shuang.
When she was young, she fought on the battlefield with her father in Lingkong Mountain, but her father died early, so it can be said that she also has a part in this family business.
Such a woman can naturally be compared with a son.
As soon as she entered the outer courtyard, her babbling voice came, and she was getting stronger and stronger.
"What about Lan'er, what did the doctor say?"
"Quick, take me to see, how is my Lan'er?"
As soon as she arrived at the arch gate of the inner courtyard, she met Lingkong Mountain and He Mei, who hurried to greet her from the inside.
Lingkong Mountain was in front, and He Mei followed tremblingly.
She was afraid of Ling Shuang from the bottom of her bones.
Ling Kong Shan hurriedly walked up to meet him, burying his head and blushing with a red face.
In front of his mother, he could never hold his head up, no matter how majestic he was outside.
Fear, awe, distress, shame.
There are all kinds of emotions.
Ling Kongshan's father came from a wealthy family, so naturally the Ling family still had to be decided by Ling Shuang.
Seeing his son come out, Ling Shuang was even more angry.
"Why, now you are willing to die to see me? If there is no old body to ask the maid to invite you back, then you don't know that you will come back?"
Saying that, she looked at the boudoir, and the crutches were on the ground, and before Ling Kongshan could speak, she said again.
"What does the doctor say, if these quacks of the Ling family can't work, go out and find them, if they really can't work, go to the little emperor and call the imperial doctor!"
Turning her head, she continued to frown coldly: "If Lan'er has a good one, you won't live! Now that the envoy is already in the Ling State Mansion, what if they know about this matter?"
“......”
Ling Kongshan reached out and touched the sweat on his beard, with a sad face.
At this time, Ling Shuang saw He Mei cowering behind Ling Kong Mountain again.
Seeing this, she put away her previous anxiety, straightened her waist, stretched out her fingers condescendingly, turned her head and asked unceremoniously.
"Lingkong Mountain, you should be the wind in your ears when you say that you don't allow this slut to come to see Lan'er, why don't you listen?...... Hurry up and let her go!"
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
When Ling Kongshan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled He Mei to leave quickly.
He Mei lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to speak, so he could only grit his teeth and leave in a hurry with infinite hatred.
Seeing the woman leaving, Ling Shuang dismissed all the maids and pulled Ling Kongshan to start nagging.
"I haven't forgotten what happened back then, although there was no her plan for you, there would be no Lan'er...... But let me tell you, the facts are the facts, just because she wanted to strangle Lan'er to death back then, it was enough for her to die a hundred times!"
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Ling Kongshan nodded.
What happened back then was naturally He Mei's fault, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
"Yes, yes, that's all you have in front of me? I've heard that you, General Ling, are very imposing outside. ”
"Mother's ......"
Ling Kongshan called out speechlessly, Ling Shuang glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "If Lan'er is gone, I will definitely not let you have a good time!"
“......”
Lingkong Mountain replied wordlessly.
Bundle Tower.
Zhou Xingzhi was lying on Ling Shu's couch.
At this time, it was the time when the sun was setting, and she looked out the window, sad in her heart.
The environment here is no less difficult than when she was alive in modern times.
Although she had a very unsatisfactory life when she was alive before, at least if she had money, she could buy everything.
But here she has nothing.
The house is simple, and the big ornaments are only a couch and a small dilapidated table.
"Now, Uncle Qiu, today should be the second day of the emperor's envoy, is it that the third young lady will be admitted to the palace in a few days?"
"Don't say it's her, even you're going. ”
Uncle Qiu came back from outside, holding a pheasant that had not yet been plucked, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his face before continuing.
"You know, on the list of beauties to be admitted to the palace, there is also your name. ”
"I don't want to be a concubine. ”
Zhou Xingzhi has been here for a few days, and it basically coincides with Ling Shu's memory, so he probably knows the situation here.
Ling, Du and Xiang protected the Lingluan country, among which Ling and Xiang had the strongest troops, and Du Guofu was the first to be given the title by the old emperor.
The current emperor has just turned twelve years old, and in order to consolidate his power, the queen mother arranged for him to choose a concubine.
It's just going through the motions.
A young lady with a status like Ling Lan will be a noble concubine as soon as she enters the palace, and some other rich and noble ladies are just foils, and there are very few who can be selected.
However, for this great opportunity to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, those young ladies are very actively preparing, and it can be said that choosing a concubine is the biggest thing in Ling Luanguo at present.
Zhou Xingzhi is the most annoying intrigue and acting in her life, and she is tired of such days.
Since she is now living on Ling Shu, she must live the way she wants.
It's just that now she can't move alone.
She remembered the events before she died, and she also had a general understanding of what happened before Ling Shu.
Ling Shu is a person who behaves strangely, which is why he is so hated by Ling Guofu.
"Don't say these stupid things, don't you want to change this situation of looking at people's faces under the fence, Fourth Miss?"
Uncle Qiu straightened his waist, no matter how he said it, he was in his fifties.
Hearing this, Zhou Xingzhi turned his face, smiled rarely, and then said.
"Actually, my greatest wish is to live a free life, even if it is to wander. ”
"Haha, I think so. ”
Uncle Qiu laughed, then took the pheasant out, and after a while he came back with his hands in his hands, not knowing what he was hiding behind his back.
"If, I say if......"
Uncle Qiu stood on the edge of Zhou Xingzhi's bed, hesitated for a moment, and then continued under Zhou Xingzhi's curious gaze.
"If Fourth Miss, you don't leave Ling Guofu now, once you enter the palace, you won't have a chance again. ”
He smiled as he spoke, and then affirmed, "Unless you can stand above many beautiful women!"
The meaning of these words is naturally understood by Zhou Xingzhi, this is to let her enter the palace to think later.
However, after watching so many wild histories, and some time-traveling novels and TV series, she knows very well that no queen is easy, and she is in that position under conspiracy and rebellion.
"Even if you become a queen, it's not necessarily easy!"
Zhou Xingzhi sighed, the only thing she wants to do now is to leave here, and as for the future, let's talk about it later.
"So, then Fourth Miss, are you determined to leave Ling Guofu?"
Zhou Xingzhi nodded affirmatively, which was an answer.
"Well, before you leave, the old man will give you a gift. ”
"What?"
