Chapter 375: The Governor's Concubine
After living in northern Sichuan for a few years, Shaohua's ability to be independent is getting stronger and stronger, although there are so many complicated etiquette compared to when he was in Beijing, but he also knows what to do in what season. At the beginning, the Zhuangzi who was married was placed in the capital, but because it was too far away, he didn't even ask Li Xunzhuo to help sell it and buy it again near Liangcheng.
Yan Kaizhi thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate, although they were in northern Sichuan, they might not know when they would leave. Moreover, the few Zhuangzi placed by the Li family for Shaohua are all high-quality good villages, and if they are sold, it will be difficult to find equivalent Zhuangzi in the future. I went out to patrol a few times, and came back to write out the situation of several Zhuangzi for Shaohua to pick directly, all of which are nearby villages, although they are not as prosperous and rich as those in Gyeonggi, but they are better in terms of geography, and the two are connected together, if they are combined, they can also surround a horse farm.
When Shaohua heard the racecourse, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hesitated whether he could afford to pay for so much.
"As long as you like it, you can buy it together, although it will be a little tight at first, but as long as you take out the surplus of other Zhuangzi, plus my annual income is not a problem." Yan Kaizhi is also a conscientious parent official in northern Sichuan, although he loves wine, he is not greedy for cups, and he is not entangled by concubines and maids, he goes home on time for dinner every day, and after deducting the gifts given throughout the year, he can still accumulate a lot. Seeing that Shaohua was always hesitant, he simply bought the two adjacent ones and directly took the title deed to her: "After I put it down, it will also be for the children, and it is useless to save this silver every year." When we are old, I will take you to Jiangnan to buy a Zhuangzi, and then leave it to my sons to take care of. ”
The storyteller has heard about the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River countless times, so that Shaohua, who is accustomed to the vast sky and earth in northern Sichuan, can't help but be interested.
After listening to Yan Kai's words, You Ning became very energetic, and in the past few days in the Governor's Mansion, he circled around Yan Kai every day. Shaohua wanted to ask them what was going on, one smiled without saying anything, and the other looked at him left and right, so mysterious that she couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, with two children, Shaohua was not able to be idle after all. Cheng Xi has risen a lot in the past few months, and the weather will be cooler in two months, and all the clothes and pants will have to be remade at that time.
Anyway, it was a one-time, including Yan Kaizhi and You Ning, Shaohua asked people to make two sets each, and he was trying to get the size with You Ning, but he found that the room was empty, and even the beds were neat.
She walked out all the way, looked everywhere, and saw the maids who were sweeping and asked one by one: "Which of you has seen Young Master Youning." But they all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it.
Shaohua muttered: This is strange, obviously we were still having dinner together last night, why did I wake up and even a figure was gone, and there was no news left.
It just so happened that Yan Kaizhi had just come back from outside, and he saw Shaohua wandering around at home, so he asked curiously: "What are you doing running around so early?" ”
She nervously grabbed Yan Kaizhi's hand and asked, "Kaizhi, have you seen Youning, I just wanted to try on a set of clothes for him, but there was no one in the house, not a single letter, and I didn't know where to run." ”
Yan Kaizhi nodded and said, "Maybe I went back, he bumped into me when he went out in the morning, saying that he had something to go, and he didn't say anything for fear of waking him up." ”
Shaohua was taken aback, he didn't expect You Ning to go back like this, "In the morning? What time is it, where can he, where can he go? ”
Yan Kaizhi pulled her back, and was a little surprised by her calf protection plot: "You don't care where he goes, Youning is already an adult, and he has his own opinions." I didn't even see you worrying about the Li family's brothers, why did you care about Youning. ”
I wanted to refute, but Shaohua hesitated, but gave up, "Can it be the same, those brothers in my family all follow the rules and know how to be reasonable, which one is as worrying as Youning." Afraid that Yan Kaizhi would not believe it, he explained: "Besides, I am thinking about Laneige, if something happens to him, what will Laneige do in the future." ”
She is still used to treating You Ning as a younger brother, although he has become more and more mature in the past two years, and even his beard has grown thicker than Yan Kaizhi, in Shaohua's heart, You Ning is like a child who does not grow up.
Yan Kaizhi looked at her amusedly, and made a funny sound, causing her to be beaten shyly: "What a virtuous sister-in-law, then you might as well think about bringing something to Laneige when you go back." ”
"Go back ......" Shaohua reacted, and was so surprised that he couldn't say a word: "We're going back to Beijing?!" ”
Seeing Yan Kaizhi nodding, Shaohua was so excited that he burst into tears, thinking that he would never have a chance to return to Beijing in this life, or that he would not be able to go back until Yan Kaizhi returned to the field. I didn't expect to be able to go back so soon, in the past few years in northern Sichuan, she found out that she wanted to come back so much, but it was also because there was a family here. Now that they have all returned to Beijing in Xinmaoshan, except for Yan Kaizhi, she found that she couldn't find a familiar feeling in the familiar scenery.
Yan Kaizhi stretched out his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes for her, and said with a smile: "In two months, I have to go back to Beijing to take up my post, I want to bring you back, but ......" Thinking that Shaohua had told him what the old man of the Luobu tribe said, his mood sank.
The divination of the Luo Bu tribe is famous all over the world, but even the emperor can't easily invite them, because after leaving Baishan, their ability will become weaker.
Because of this, the emperor did not force them to enter the palace, but as long as they divined the hexagrams, there were almost no inaccuracies. But the price paid for this is also very heavy, and almost every major divination is followed by a bloody payment. Usually every patriarch dies in the end, and once the patriarch dies, the Luobu clan will be closed for three years and will not hear the world. Shaohua unintentionally said the words of the old patriarch, asking her not to wear red clothes and not to return to Beijing.
It was precisely because of that bloody disaster that Mo Er blocked Shaohua for him, Yan Kaizhi had to be pious, he didn't dare to imagine what the situation would be like now if there was no Mo Er. So, after discussing with Shaohua, he decided to give Mo'er a name and bury her in northern Sichuan for them to worship in person.
In the past few years, Yan Kaizhi has not thought of asking clearly, but it happened that the mountain was closed for three years, and Yan Kaizhi had to suppress the anxiety in his heart and guard Shaohua to live in northern Sichuan.
Six years have passed, and the emperor ordered Yan Kaizhi to return to Beijing for the first time to report on his work, but he couldn't rest assured that Shaohua's mother and son were in northern Sichuan. Just when he was in a dilemma, Shaohua had already arranged all the itineraries, she shook Yan Kaizhi's hand and said seriously: "By the way, Kaizhi, I want to go and give Mo Er an incense." Seeing that his eyes were confused, Shaohua explained: "Three months later is Mo'er's anniversary, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back to pay homage to her by then." ”
Knowing that Shaohua was ashamed, every year when Mo'er's death day came, Shaohua always became very nervous, and he sighed: "Actually, you don't have to...... Forget it, whatever you like. ”
Mo Er has also been dead for so many years, and the master behind her seems to have disappeared from that moment. Another thing that made Yan Kaizhi uneasy was that he didn't know if this return to Beijing would alarm the master again, whether he would stop with Shaohua, or whether he was just waiting for them to return to Beijing.
A few days before departure, Yan Kaizhi was still worried, on the contrary, Shaohua seemed to be interested, she personally made several newly learned snacks, placed them in front of Mo Er's tomb, three cigarettes curled and respected, Yan Kaizhi consciously stepped aside, and Shaohua began to talk to himself again.
Looking at the few weeds that came out of nowhere in front of the grave, she didn't feel dirty, stretched out her hand to pull it out, sighed and said: "Mo'er, I'm going back to Beijing, I don't know when I'll come back, maybe a month or two, maybe half a year, maybe ......" Over the years, Mo'er's grave has become a place for Shaohua to complain and complain, and she also feels funny. "I'm used to nagging with you, I don't know if you'll be bored after I'm gone."
She didn't even know Mo'er's real name until now, and in the end she could only write about Yan Kai's beloved concubine Mo's tomb, Shaohua thought to herself, probably only Mo'er's grave with her beloved concubine written on it would not make her feel resigned in her heart. Tracing every word on the tombstone with his fingers, Shaohua was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry, after so many years, I still feel sorry for you." ”
The sky suddenly became gloomy, the weeds were lowered their waists, and the sighing sound seemed to be talking back to Shaohua. Yan Kaizhi was worried that the weather would change, and urged her to hurry back to the car, Shaohua nodded, and whispered to the tombstone: "You said that your master is in Beijing, and he hasn't come to me for so many years, does it mean that he gave up, or did he forget." I'd like to meet him if I could, and I'd like to say thank you to him personally. ”
Although Mo Er said that her master wanted to capture Shaohua back, after Mo Er died, she was worried for a long time and never saw anyone come.
Thinking that if he hadn't sent Mo Er over at the beginning, maybe the person lying here would be himself, Shaohua suddenly felt a little grateful to this person.
Sitting in the rickety carriage, the people outside the car had already begun to become arrogant, Shaohua snuggled in her husband's arms, and asked softly: "Kaizhi, you said that if Mo'er was still there, would you like her?" ”
Yan Kaizhi let out a long sigh: "How much do you want me to like others." ”
She stuck out her tongue, held his face, kissed him fiercely, and said domineeringly: "No, I don't want it at all, you are mine alone." ”
Yan Kaizhi was very satisfied with Shaohua's performance, pulled her down, deepened the kiss, and said after a while: "Then don't think nonsense, I won't like other people anymore, it's enough to guard your mother and son." Shaohua's face was like a drunken face, and he lowered his head shyly, "When I come back this time, let's take Cheng Li back, he has been in the capital long enough." ”
"Good!" In order to show his excitement, Shaohua hooked his neck, took the initiative to purse his lips, and continued the sweetness just now.
