Chapter Eighty-Seven: At the Foot of the Imperial City
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but look at the other party.
She had heard someone call General Fu Tingye, and she had heard someone call Fu Tingye Prince, and even Qin Lao Wu sometimes got anxious, and would call Fu Tingye the eldest or eldest brother, but she had never heard anyone call him Young Master.
"Uncle Zhou is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion." Fu Tingye introduced Hua Qingxue, "He has been helping my father take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and he is the old man of the Hou Mansion." β
The old man known as Uncle Zhou smiled slightly and didn't say anything, giving people a sense of humility and calmness.
"Uncle Zhou is good." Hua Qingxue stepped forward to say hello, which was regarded as a greeting.
Fu Tingye said lightly: "Let's get in the carriage first, it's getting late today, let's go to Zhuangzi to stay overnight, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." β
But all the people who have some assets in Shengjing will buy fields and farms outside the city, and there are also such places in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Hua Qingxue listened to his tone, it seemed that there was still some distance from Shengjing, at least tonight it would not be in time.
She glanced at Fu Tingye inexplicably, and she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, she always felt that Fu Tingye was not in a good mood since she got off the boat?
Shouldn't you be happy that you haven't been home for so many years? β¦β¦ It's not good, it seems that he really doesn't get along well with his family.
Hua Qingxue speculated in her heart and followed Fu Tingye into the carriage.
It would be a few days before the horses of the pro-guards arrived, and they had to follow later.
Fu Tingye didn't say a word in the carriage, half-lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, Hua Qingxue saw that his face was gloomy, and he didn't dare to say anything casually.
She silently looked at the scenery outside the carriage, and she didn't know if it was because of her preference, at the foot of the imperial city, it was clear that it was becoming more and more prosperous and rich, but she always felt that it was not as good as Panshui City.
The road was wide and flat, even the country roads were straight and smooth, and the carriages were moving fast, and the dense fields of crops on both sides stretched as far as the eye could see.
After arriving in Zhuangzi, the subordinates in Zhuangzi took Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue to the room where they rested.
Fu Tingye didn't stay long before going out, and Hua Qingxue saw him go out and talk to the old housekeeper named Zhou Bo in the courtyard.
They were far away, and Hua Qingxue couldn't hear what was being said clearly, which would not be a good thing after all, because Fu Tingye didn't have a smile on his face at all.
When she first arrived, she couldn't figure out the situation, and felt that it was better for her to pretend to be deaf and dumb, if Fu Tingye didn't say it, she didn't plan to ask, so as not to commit a taboo.
The head of the village here is in his forties, dark-skinned, and looks very responsible.
As soon as they arrived, Zhuang Tou personally went to work for dinner, his wife helped him, and the two also had a pair of lovely twin sons, who climbed trees and walls, and were particularly naughty.
Zhuang Tou's wife unceremoniously trained the two little guys! Another person stuffed a big meat bun and coaxed them out to play, so as not to disturb the guests and punish the whole Zhuangzi.
Hua Qingxue watched the two little guys running out happily with big buns, and sighed in her heart.
This is a child...... You can be happy like this when you get a meat bun.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but fantasize about what it was like for Li Jingnan to hold the bun, huh...... He will probably look disdainful, as if being willing to take a bite is already a great gift.
Obviously, he is about the same age as these two children......
β¦β¦
Dinner is a generous farmhouse dish with fish and vegetables stewed in an iron pot.
Hua Qingxue stayed on the boat for a few days, and she learned from eating fish, and it was clear which part of the fish meat was tender and less thorny.
Fu Tingye saw that she was eating devotedly, his gloomy face eased slightly, he didn't have much appetite originally, but now he looked at Hua Qingxue's face like this, and also ate two large bowls of rice.
They arrived late, ate late, and by the time they finished dinner, it was already dark.
Fu Tingye said: "You rest first, I have something to discuss with Uncle Zhou." β
"Hmm." Hua Qingxue nodded, very obedient.
Fu Tingye and Zhou Bo went to another room, closed the door, and the candlelight on the window paper cast the silhouette of the two of them.
Hua Qingxue watched quietly for a while, then went back to the house to wash and rest.
Fu Tingye is very machismo, he is used to arranging everything, Hua Qingxue only needs to accept it with peace of mind.
This is about the common problem of men in this era, fortunately, Hua Qingxue is soft and not strong, otherwise, he will probably feel very disrespected......
The room where Hua Qingxue rested was next door to Fu Tingye.
She lay on her side on the bed, silently paying attention to the movement next door, thinking about when Fu Tingye would finish discussing things.
The journey was tiring, and she was so tired that she lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.
From time to time, a few dog barks could be heard in the distance, making the night deeper and quieter.
Hua Qingxue heard footsteps.
Her heart moved, and she walked to the door and opened the door.
Fu Tingye, who was about to go back to the house outside, saw her and was obviously stunned, "Haven't slept yet?" β
"Can't sleep." She replied in a whisper, and asked him again, "Are you done talking to Uncle Zhou?" β
"Hmm." Fu Tingye saw the haggard in her eyes, rubbed the top of her hair with pity, and said in a low voice, "The envoys of Da Liao have arrived in Shengjing, you live in Zhuangzi for a few days first, and then take you into Beijing when I arrange the manpower in Beijing." β
Hua Qingxue yawned, no matter what, she could feel more at ease when she saw him, "I know, you should rest early." β
She said goodnight to Fu Tingye and went back to the house to sleep, this time she finally felt sleepy, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
I just fell asleep and fell asleep, and suddenly I heard a noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping!
The vigorous knocking on the door almost alarmed everyone in the Zhuangzi!
What's going on?
Hua Qingxue opened her worried eyes and sat up from the bed, hesitating to take a look.
At this time, the sound outside suddenly disappeared......
It's weird......
She was about to lie back when she heard Li Jingnan calling her outside the door: "Hua Qingxue!" Are you asleep? Wake up! Hey......"
Dreaming?!
Why is Li Jingnan here?!
"Please wait a moment, it's still early, let her wash and change her clothes......"
This was Fu Tingye's voice, low and deep, obviously suppressing the anger.
"It's not early! The sun is almost out! Li Jingnan forced her words, and shouted her name against the crack of the door, "Hua Qingxue, Hua Qingxue......"
Hua Qingxue almost got up with a grunt, and hurriedly rushed to the door and opened the door-
I saw that the outside was full of people!
Li Jingnan came to Zhuangzi with a large number of eunuchs and guards!
Hua Qingxue was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, "Why did you sneak out again?" β
Li Jingnan's eyebrows raised, "What do you mean to sneak away again?" I'm justified this time! Let's go, get up, I'll send you to Beijing and show you around your new home! β
"My new home?" Hua Qingxue looked dazed.
Li Jingnan rolled his eyes, "Hey, do you want to be so forgetful, didn't you say what reward you wanted when you asked you at the beginning?" If you want to have your own house in the capital, I have picked a good place for you! β
When Hua Qingxue heard this, she immediately came to her senses, "Really? Already built? β
"Every inch of land in Shengjing City is expensive, how can there be a ready-made place for you to build a house? I picked the old mansion of my third emperor uncle, he went to the fiefdom, and the house in the capital changed hands to be sold, and many ministers wanted to buy it, and I took it first! Ha ha! Li Jingnan said, smirking triumphantly.
Hua Qingxue is very excited, this is her own real estate!
She looked at Fu Tingye on the side with expectant eyes, "General, can I enter the city with the emperor?" β
Anyway, Fu Tingye has something to do these days, and it seems that he can't take care of her, so it's better to go with Li Jingnan to see how the house is first!
Li Jingnan muttered: "If you want to go, you can go, why do you want him to agree?" He's not you! β
"......" Fu Tingye's originally dark face is even darker!
But he can't say that he is Hua Qingxue's fiancΓ©, because during the national funeral, it is absolutely forbidden to talk about marriage! It can be agreed in private, but if you say it openly, it is appropriate to despise the imperial power!
Fu Tingye replied with a straight face: "The envoy of Da Liao is in Shengjing at the moment, and there are inevitably some spies in the city, so please be cautious and focus on the overall situation." β
Li Jingnan waved his hand very chicly, "Last night, King Ning held a banquet to entertain them, and they couldn't find the north after drinking, so it will be fine." β
"King Ning?" Fu Tingye was slightly stunned.
Li Jingnan ignored him, and stretched out his hand to push Hua Qingxue, "You go and change your clothes, don't worry, I brought a lot of guards, and it will be fine!" β
"Okay, you wait for me." Hua Qingxue happily returned to the house and closed the door with a click.
Li Jingnan kicked the door panel outside and shouted, "Dress up nicely, don't lose my people!" β
Fu Tingye: "...... "You try it again?!" Whose person the hell is she?!
Hua Qingxue doesn't know how to dress up.
She wears only two kinds of clothes all year round, one is the work clothes she wears in the lab, and the other is the home pajamas that she wears at home.
Later, she crossed over, and the clothes were all purchased for her by Zhao Sheng, and she didn't pick what to wear.
Hua Qingxue washed and changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and when she came out again, except for the upper layer of the fabric of the skirt, she still had that simple appearance.
Li Jingnan looked at her from head to toe, sighed and shook his head, "Aren't you, you've been here for more than half a year, why can't you comb your hair now?" β
Hua Qingxue touched her drooping ponytail and blushed slightly.
This one...... It's really hard to learn.
Li Jingnan called the little bean behind him, "Go, comb her hair again." β
The people who need to be served in the palace, except for the emperor, are a bunch of concubines, so combing and curling hair is almost a necessary skill for eunuchs in the palace.
However, Hua Qingxue has a ponytail all year round, and there is no headline and hairpin, even if Xiaodouzi has a pair of skillful hands, it is very limited to play, and finally he gave Hua Qingxue the simplest double bun.
Hua Qingxue, who changed her hairstyle, immediately looked a little pretty, and even her age seemed to be a few years younger.
Fu Tingye looked at her tender appearance, his eyes flashed, and he thought: This little emperor is not useless.
"Go early and come back early, there is a curfew at night, remember not to stay in the city for too long."
Before leaving, Fu Tingye told her.
Li Jingnan didn't care, "With me taking her, who else would dare to stop her?" β
After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and he frowned like a little adult, and asked Fu Tingye: "General Fu, why do you always care about Hua Qingxue?" She's not a child! β
Fu Tingye sneered in his heart, and said secretly: You are a child, but can I control you?
