Chapter 169: Old Things (1)
Li Qingyi slept until midnight and suddenly woke up, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, the room was quiet, she turned over, and there was no sleepiness.
I simply lifted the quilt and got off the bed, groping and drinking a sip of herbal tea.
Hearing the movement, Siouan got up and came over to see, "Why doesn't the girl call her a slave?"
Before Li Qingyi could answer, the mother-in-law guarding the courtyard door whispered to Wo Lan at the door, "Wo Lan girl."
Woad was startled, thinking that something was wrong, and quickly responded, "What's wrong?"
The mother-in-law said, "The Lingxi girl from Jinhua Courtyard is here, saying that the county lord wants to see the girl at this time."
Xiang Lan's heart trembled, and she replied "I know" outside, looked at Li Qingyi, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the county lord wants to be unfavorable to you......
Li Qingyi frowned, "Change my clothes for me."
"Girl!"
"It's okay, I'll handle it."
She couldn't resist her, so she had to go and get her clothes.
Several other girls were also awakened, and they came over to ask what was going on, knowing that it was the county lord of Yuanheng who was looking for Li Qingyi in the middle of the night, and they all showed worried eyes.
Li Qingyi's face was expressionless, and the girls couldn't see what she was thinking.
Quickly put on his clothes, Li Qingyi did not hesitate, and went to Jinhua Courtyard with the lantern.
Chang Lang and Woad Lan followed her closely.
Arrived at Jinhua-in.
The light in the master bedroom of Yuanheng County was indeed on.
Li Qingyi's palms were slightly sweaty, and her mood was complicated and indescribable, but her footsteps only paused for a moment before entering the house.
The county lord of Yuanheng seemed to be in a fugue, and when he heard the movement, he looked up, and saw that it was her coming, so he stood up unconsciously.
"Mother, you're looking for me."
Somehow, Li Qingyi also learned Qin Zeng's tone.
Lord Yuanheng lowered his eyes, "Sit down."
Li Qingyi sat down and waited quietly for the county lord of Yuanheng to speak.
The room was too quiet, and after a long time, the county lord of Yuanheng put away his trance-like expression, "I have told your father about it, I guess no one has told you."
Li Qingyi was surprised by her opening and didn't know what she was talking about "father's business".
The county lord of Yuanheng didn't wait for her answer, and said to himself: "When I was young, as others know, I was arrogant, domineering, and did whatever I wanted. But your father is also not an elegant and modest son. At that time, the Li family of the Xuandehou Mansion was considered a middle-class family among the powerful people, and the two sons in the mansion were one flamboyant and the other had a weak temperament, and they were both good sons-in-law in the hearts of the nobles in Beijing."
She paused and looked at Li Qingyi, "Especially your father, with just a pure face, he has taken away the hearts of many beautiful girls."
Li Qingyi was a little stunned.
Seeing her expression, the county lord of Yuanheng smiled slightly, the world in front of him was turbulent and distorted, and the light around him was chaotic and surging, which caused the county lord of Yuanheng to move forward and go forward, back to the years of youth and ignorance......
Although Li Zhi is talented, he is not like his younger brother Li Yong, who is down-to-earth and steady, focusing on schoolwork, and only likes to fight injustices and act chivalrous.
In the eyes of these cardamom girls, they are naturally heroes, but in the eyes of the old marquis of the Li family, they are undoubtedly causing trouble all day long.
He sent Li Zhi to his master to learn the truth, and the master was almost angry with him and returned to the west.
Since then, no one has dared to teach this Li family master.
Just when the old Marquis Li had a headache, the Yu family moved to the capital.
Master Yu has been a teacher all his life, and he is an old friend of Old Marquis Li, so he agreed to help him teach his son.
And Yu Miao, the daughter of Master Yu, is the only handkerchief handed over by the county lord of Yuanheng.
I still remember the first time I saw Li Zhi that day.
It was a wet spring day with apricot blossoms, Master Yu returned home with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, I don't know if the air was too clear, or the rain was too hazy, which made the county lord of Yuanheng dazzled.
She felt that Li Zhi's pupils seemed to have fallen from the stars on the Nine Heavens Milky Way, shining brightly.
This starlight covered her, so much so that when the young Li Zhi smiled defiantly at her and Yu Miao, she actually felt that the glow was even greater.
From then on, Li Zhi had to come to his house every day to listen to Master Yu's lectures.
He didn't stop like a live donkey all day long, but when he landed in the Yu family, he met his nemesis.
The nemesis is none other than the best friend of the county lord of Yuanheng, Yu Miao.
Yu Miaosheng has a lively temperament, and the whole person is as hot and bright as a flowing fire.
Whenever Li Zhi made Master Yu angry, Yu Miao tried her best to torture him and refused to give up until he obeyed.
After three or four years in this way, the two adults found out that the children had grown up in a flash, so they decided to marry Li Zhi and Yu Miao.
The county lord of Yuanheng remembered very clearly that the flush on Yu Miao's face that day was like a pomegranate flower burning in June, as if her heart had burned out of a hole, a little sour, a little painful.
Only then did she know that it turned out that a girl's heart flower would bloom quietly at some point.
Yu Miao is like this, and so is she.
The county lord of Yuanheng smiled bitterly and looked at Li Qingyi's face, as if he was looking at his former husband through her.
She said: "After this family affair was decided, everyone thought that they were a match made in heaven, and before they got married, they made a good story, and I once thought so. But fate is always unpredictable, and when people are defenseless, they break expectations and deviate everything from their original trajectory."
On that day, it was vaguely August, and the sky and clouds and shadows lingered in the glass world, clear and bright.
The lotus branches in Biyun Lake are full of vines, and the breeze floats in the more beautiful and beautiful.
Yu Miao sat barefoot on the flat boat, turned her head and beckoned to Li Zhi gently, smiling happily, the warm light of the setting sun shone on her face, adding a touch of crimson, and the light pink and pale white around her, weaving and intersecting together, reflecting each other into a poem.
The county lord of Yuanheng sat behind Yu Miao and saw that Li Zhi's eyes were dyed by the purple and golden glow, like a dream. There was a deep smile in it, like flowing smoke, illuminating the peerless treasure in front of him.
But his hand did not touch the aftermath of the boat docking.
"Yu Miao suddenly fainted and fell, and was in a coma for two days and two nights before waking up. The Li family and the Yu family searched for Langzhong in the capital, and I also begged the Queen Mother to invite a famous doctor, but they couldn't see what illness Yu Miao had. Yu Miao said she was fine, but she lost weight at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In just half a year, there is only a pair of skin and bones left."
Li Qingyi's astonishment turned into shock, she had never heard of Yu Miao, and her grandfather and grandmother had never mentioned it.
"And then? Yu Miao is dead?"
The county lord of Yuanheng nodded: "The marriage of the two of them has been delayed again and again, and the Li family already has the intention of withdrawing from their relatives, even if they have been friends for many years, they can't watch their son marry someone who is going to die. The Yu family was able to understand the Li family's thoughts, and in order to take care of the feelings of the two families, they offered to withdraw from the family affairs, but Li Zhi insisted on waiting, and he must wait for Yu Miao to get better. Your grandmother and grandfather couldn't resist him, and finally compromised."
"I have seen Yu Miao crying secretly several times, and I can't wait to be sick for her. But things can't go as they thought after all, and Yu Miao's illness finally came to the point where it couldn't be reversed. Despite the opposition of the family, your father insisted on marrying Yu Miaochong."
"My dad is happy for Yu Miao? My grandmother and grandfather agreed?"
