Chapter 246: Family Affairs
Seeing that many officials have returned to Beijing to report on their work, and seeing that they are facing another transfer, Wei Shicheng is at a critical time, and it is impossible not to take any action at all.
Lord Yuanheng nodded, "He first mentioned Jin'er's family affairs, and I talked about you along Jin'er's note, after all, you are older than Jin'er, so you should worry about your family affairs first, so he also followed my words a few words."
"What did you say?"
"Just let me pick a few that fit my heart first, and then he will help me palm my eyes."
Li Qingyi smiled: "Then you can pick a few first, it is best to be beneficial to the Wei family, but not inconspicuous."
The county lord of Yuanheng nodded, "Actually, your family affairs, many people in Beijing are already watching, after all, your second uncle's future is there, but right now you live in Wei Mansion with me, and many people are waiting."
The two discussed this matter for a while, and Li Qingyi talked about it, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, do you want to go shopping on the street with Mother and Jin'er?"
Wei Jin'er hesitated a little, and didn't seem to want to go out much.
As far as Li Qingyi knows, she has not met Wei Shicheng since she was burned.
It must be a hurdle in my heart that I can't pass.
Whoever is ordered by his own father to pour boiling water on his body will inevitably be heartbroken.
I am afraid that this kind of damage is even greater than the physical damage.
It's just that she was hostile to Li Qingyi before, and she was supported by a resentment in her heart, and she seemed to be acting as usual. But then Mu Ying threatened the county lord of Yuanheng with her, and Li Qingyi saved her, and the hatred in her heart gradually dissipated.
Without the support of this hatred, she lost her spirit and gradually became silent, and she didn't even go to Heyan Hall on weekdays, but only occasionally went to Jinhua Courtyard to sit.
is clearly the eldest daughter of the Wei Mansion, but she lives like a transparent person.
Old Madam Wei probably also intended to let her fade out of everyone's sight for a while, and acquiesced in her shrinking into the courtyard and not going out.
Last time, Li Qingyi went to the Chonghua Palace of the eldest princess of Deqing for a banquet, she was probably afraid that Li Qingyi would not be able to cope with something alone, so she accompanied her, but she met a good nobleman and died tragically.
After that, she had nightmares, couldn't sleep well at night, and often woke up screaming in fear, and her whole body was thinner.
The county lord of Yuanheng talked to her a few times to no avail, so Li Qingyi asked Xie Rao for a calming prescription for Wei Jin'er to eat, but the medicine was effective, and she could sleep soundly at night. new
But people just can't lift their spirits, and the teenage girl is like an old woman who is about to die.
The county lord of Yuanheng asked her, but she only said that it was boring, and she couldn't be interested in doing anything.
Li Qingyi felt that Wei Jin'er was like this, because she had no thoughts in her heart, and she naturally had no energy to ask for anything.
So the two decided to take her out for a walk from time to time, see more people, and maybe it would be fine.
Lord Yuanheng said, "Jin'er, let's go to the Eight Treasure Towers to have a look, don't you like the jewelry there the most?"
Wei Jin'er shook her head, "Mother, I don't go out again, dress up for anyone, and besides, I have a lot of jewelry, and I haven't worn a lot of it, so I still don't want it."
Lord Yuanheng and Li Qingyi glanced at each other, a little helpless, Li Qingyi thought for a while, and said, "Jin'er, my sister hasn't celebrated the New Year in the capital yet, and I don't know what to do, can you go out with your sister?"
Wei Jin'er looked at the county lord of Yuanheng, and Li Qingyi pulled her over, "You see what my mother does, my mother is different from us, how can her vision be the same as ours?"
Wei Jin'er had no reason to refuse, so she had to say, "That...... Then I'll go back and change my clothes."
"I'll go back and change my clothes, and we'll meet at my mother's place in a moment!"
Lord Yuanheng nodded with a smile and saw that his two daughters had gone out.
Lingxi brought the clothes over, "Don't worry, the big girl will definitely get better."
The county lord of Yuanheng sighed, Wei Shicheng is Jin'er's father after all, and he will ...... in the future
Forget it, the future will be talked about in the future.
Li Qingyi went to change into a dress that was convenient for going out, and left Changning in the mansion to "take care" of Wei Baozhu, still with Chang by his side
Woad blue.
The mother and daughter met again, and walked all the way out of the Maoxiang Courtyard along the hand-copying verandah to the second gate.
At the other end of the verandah, Wei Shicheng stood beside the dark mountain rocks with his hands in his hands, looking at the backs of the three of them, his eyes were deep.
When the New Year passes, the streets are full of people, shoulder to shoulder, the vendors who buy New Year's goods and the people who buy New Year's goods shout and ask each other, bargaining, it is the bustle and prosperity that can not be hidden by the depression in winter.
The mother and daughter sat together, and the girls were all driven to the carriage behind, leaving only Lingxi to serve in front of them.
The county lord of Yuanheng was telling Li Qingyi about the days from Chinese New Year's Eve to fifteen, what was the excitement, and suddenly there were several rapid screams and horse hooves galloping in front, and then the carriage pulled violently to the right, and stopped in place, and the three people crashed into the wall of the car together, fortunately, Wei Jin'er blocked it for Li Qingyi in time, otherwise she would hit her head.
Wei Jin'er stroked the back of her hand and "hissed", Li Qingyi hurriedly pulled it over to see, and it turned red.
Wei Jin'er shook her head: "I'm fine, who is riding a horse in the city?"
Li Qingyi frowned and lifted the curtain of the car, only to see a young man dressed in a red brocade silk robe and wearing a jade crown on the wide street, leaving only the back of a galloping horse.
The black horse is unusually tall and powerful, not like the common mount of Dajing, only listen to the click of the horse whip, although the streets in the city are wide, but can not stand the number of people, the speed of the horse is fast, passers-by have to dodge in a panic, so that they hit the street vendors, things are spilled on the ground, people turn over on their backs.
The county lord of Yuanheng didn't see who was riding the horse, and said unhappily: "What a boldness!"
At this time, I only heard someone outside the carriage say:
"That black horse has long and thick legs, and its eyes are bright, much taller than my Dajing's horse, and it seems to have black mane and iron hooves that can only be found in the frontier region. I heard that General Lei Lao has been guarding the north for many years, where the wind and sand are everywhere all the year round, the grass and trees are desolate, not only the life is fierce and mighty, but the horses are also very powerful. At the beginning of the year, General Lei equipped a well-trained iron horse with this kind of black-maned iron-hoofed horse. It is said that this horse can travel through the wild sands of the Northland, and what a miraculous steed it is."
Li Qingyi lifted the curtain when he heard the sound, and saw a brocade-robed boy standing two steps away from the carriage, as if it was because of the galloping horses that he avoided the side of the road.
When the boy in the brocade robe saw her over, his eyes were amazed for a moment, but the next moment he lowered his eyes and politely arched his hand.
The little guy beside him asked, "Could it be that person just now is General Lei?"
The brocade robe boy smiled gently, did not dislike his little servant's noise, and patiently explained: "How come, General Lei Lao has been stationed in the border all the year round, how can he be in Beijing at this time, but I heard that the prince of the General's Mansion also got such a horse."
Li Qingyi lowered the curtain and motioned for the coachman to continue walking, and then said, "It seems that the person who rode the horse just now should be the grandson of General Lei."
Wei Jin'er said: "I heard that General Lei Lao followed the first emperor to fight in all directions when he was young, and half of the mountains and rivers in Dajing are the credit of the Lei family, but that was before the rise of the Mu family."
The county lord of Yuanheng said regretfully: "Originally, it was also a good family background, but unfortunately this Lei Ye was born uninhibited, and he was full of rivers and lakes, and it was not good to say that he was a gentleman who did not do his job, and General Lei did not take him seriously."
She has been giving Li Qingyi "family affairs" these days, and Lei Ye is one of them.
Although Lei Ye is not the son-in-law candidate in her mind, maybe it is Wei Shicheng's?
However, she was more curious about the brocade-robed boy outside the carriage, "Who is that person? The face is tight."
