Chapter 54 Door-to-door proposal
Li Yunqing didn't interfere much in the matter of finding a daughter-in-law for Xu Heming, and finally decided who Xu Heming was looking at correctly, so he went to him to say goodbye, and then he gave him a marriage. After staying in Xiyongguan for three days, the group did not delay any longer and went straight to Yunluo County, Baiyun Prefecture.
Shuijiazhuang has not changed much in the past few months, but it has lost the noisy sound of the eldest sister's chatter. Nowadays, Shuijiazhuang is also a well-known wealthy family in Yunluo County. The fields given to Shuijiazhuang by the emperor alone are enough to make Shuiqing, the owner of Shuijiazhuang, the largest landowner second to none.
On this day, Shui Qing was checking the account books with the bookkeeper, but he heard someone come to report the visit of the county guard. Shui Qing hurriedly put down the work in his hand and hurried to the hall. But I saw Shangguan Renhe, the county guard of Yunluo County, like an ant on a hot pot, constantly going back and forth in circles in the hall. Seeing this scene, Shui Qing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he hurriedly arched his hand and asked, "How can my lord have time to come to my Shuijiazhuang today?" ”
Shangguan Renhe saw Shui Qing as if he had seen his own mother, rushed up with an arrow, grabbed Shui Qing's hand and said eagerly: "Oh, my brother Shui, something is wrong!" ”
Hearing this, Shui Qing smiled and said, "It's very peaceful now, what kind of mess can happen?" Don't worry, take your time. ”
Shangguan Renhe was so anxious that he was sweating, and his mouth trembled for a while: "Can't slow down, the emperor ...... The emperor is in Yunluo County, and the honor guard is less than forty miles away from the cluster at this moment! The words finally came out, and Shangguan Renhe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Shui Qing's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "The emperor is coming to Yunluo County?" Could it be that the holy driver wants to come to my Shuijiazhuang? ”
Shangguan Renhe arched his hand to Shui Qing and said, "Exactly, congratulations, brother!" When the emperor came, he didn't even live in the old man's county guard yamen, and he named him to stay in Shuijiazhuang. This county guard came to tell your brother, hurry up, how much can you prepare! Don't neglect the Holy One! Shangguan Renhe didn't give Shui Qing a chance to speak again, and ran out in a puff of smoke!
Shui Qing was completely stunned, and was stunned for a moment but shouted: "Butler! Chamberlain! Hurry up and order someone to clean the inside and outside of Shuijiazhuang! Then he circled the hall twice, and ran to the back hall, and as he ran back, he cried out, "Madame! Madam! The emperor is here! Our girl is back! ”
Half an hour later, the three doors of Shuijiazhuang were opened! Shui Qing led his wife and stood outside the gate with a group of people. Mrs. Shui Qing pulled her neck and looked around. Finally, he looked at Shui Qing and asked eagerly: "Husband, can your emperor bring our daughter back when he comes back?" It's been a while, we haven't seen Ling'er for two or three months! Tears began to fall between the words!
Shui Qing glared at his old wife, and said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, you can't do it, the emperor comes up, no matter what the purpose is, Ling'er will definitely come back with him, this is the way of humanity!" ”
"Boom...... Boom ......"
At this moment, the sound of gongs came from the west. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves kicking, and a male duck shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" With the shouts of the eunuchs, the team slowly walked towards the gate of Shuijiazhuang.
When the bright yellow dragon as huge as a house stopped in front of the gate of Shuijiazhuang, Shui Qing fell to the ground with a group of family members, but heard Shui Qing shouting: "Cao Min Shui Qing and the whole village to see my emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Li Yunqing lifted the dragon bowl, walked down quickly, came to Shui Qing's face, helped him up, and said softly: "The owner of the water village does not need to be so polite, if it wasn't for the owner of the water village who saved my life that day, you and I would not be able to meet again today!" ”
Shui Qing raised his head, only to see a young man wearing a golden dragon crown and a bright yellow nine-dragon robe standing in front of him, and at this moment the young man was looking at him with a smile on his face. Shui Qing hurriedly took a step back, arched his hand and said, "The grass people dare not be demoted by His Majesty the Emperor until they die!" ”
Zhao Bingyan appeared beside Li Yunqing at this time, bowed to Shui Qing and his wife, and said gratefully: "Zhao Bingyan thanks the owner and the wife of the owner for saving my husband's life, if it weren't for this, the palace and the emperor may not have a chance in this life!" ”
Shui Qing's heart jumped again when he heard this, and saw that the woman in front of him was dressed very luxuriously, wearing a golden phoenix crown, and couldn't help but respectfully say: "The grass people see the queen Chitose!" "Between the words, I will bow and pay homage.
Zhao Bingyan held Shui Qing and said softly: "There is no need to be so polite!" He turned his head and shouted to the dragon behind him: "Ling'er, your parents are right in front of you, what are you going to do hiding in the dragon bowl?" Come down! ”
The curtain of the dragon was lifted again, and the girl Yun'er helped the water spirit to get off the dragon bowl. Shui Ling lowered his head, but he quickly ran behind Zhao Bingyan and stomped up, revealing half of his head after a while, and looked at his parents with a heart. Shui Qing was angry in his heart, and couldn't help glaring at Shui Ling, just about to have a seizure, but he heard Li Yunqing say softly: "It's my fault that this matter is up, and I have to separate the owner of the water village from his beloved daughter for several months!" I also saw Ling'er come all the way to Tai'an City, and I couldn't bear to let her leave. In addition, the queen and Ling'er are very close to each other, so she made the decision to leave Ling'er in the palace privately, and I hope that the owner of the water village will forgive me! ”
Shui Qing missed her daughter, and she didn't have much anger in the first place, but now when she heard Li Yunqing like this, she hurriedly arched her hand and said in fear: "The emperor is so embarrassed, the emperor's believers have already received it!" It is her blessing to be left in the palace to be loved by the emperor, and it is also the glory of my Shuijiazhuang. It's just that the people have been worried that she will cause trouble to the emperor these days! ”
Zhao Bingyan said with a smile: "It's not troublesome at all, the emperor's state affairs are heavy, and sometimes the palace can't think of any good way to relieve the emperor's fatigue, Ling'er girl is quirky, but it can make the emperor laugh often!" As he spoke, Zhao Bingyan pulled out the water spirit who was hiding behind him.
Shui Qing sighed and said softly, "What are you still doing standing there?" Come over here and let me have a good look with your mother! ”
Hearing this, Shui Ling exclaimed: "Dad! Then he rushed into Shui Qing's arms and couldn't help choking.
Shui Qing looked at Li Yunqing with some embarrassment, patted Shui Ling's shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, hurry up and invite the emperor to enter the village, it is a big crime to be slow and stolen!" ”
Shui Ling came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly came to Li Yunqing's side and helped him by one arm. Zhao Bingyan naturally picked up Li Yunqing's other arm, and Sanqian entered Shuijiazhuang first. Only then did Li Yanyu and the others dare to follow into Shuijiazhuang, and then the county guard Shangguan Renhe followed.
When he arrived at the main hall of Shuijiazhuang, Li Yunqing looked at Shangguan Renhe and said in a deep voice: "You can retreat first, there is no need to let officials at all levels come to face the saint again." I will stay in this Shuijiazhuang for a few days, and when you come here in two days, I will ask you in detail about the current situation of Yunluo County. ”
Shangguan Renhe hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order, and the minister will come again in two days to ask for peace!" Then he respectfully withdrew.
Li Yunqing thought for a while, and said to Shui Qing in a deep voice: "I came here this time to personally thank the owner of the water village for your life-saving grace, these two are ......" looked at the water spirit standing beside him, Li Yunqing continued: "Then I want to let the water spirit enter the palace and crown the imperial concubine, I don't know if the owner of the water village is willing?" ”
Shui Qing and his wife were stunned when they heard this, their eyes widened, they looked at Shui Ling and then at Li Yunqing, and they didn't know how to answer for a while!
