Because of the news brought by Chen Li, Yu Jiuqing had more arrangements to make.

So on this day, Yu Jiuqing had to go out again to become a conscientious social animal, and before leaving, he took Shen Qing's hand and looked at her for a long time without saying a word.

Even though he tried his best to hide, Shen Qing still saw the reluctance and helplessness in his eyes.

Things had to be done, but he finally reunited with his wife, and he didn't even have time to get together.

Shen Qing chuckled, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth, and under the gaze of a group of servants who were shocked and wide-eyed, he whispered: "Husband, Daqi and the people of Daqi are waiting for you, you have to work hard." ”

I didn't forget to whip him even at this time.

Yu Jiuqing was helpless in her heart, but the reluctance in her eyes was appeased a little, the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, looked at her and said, "Okay." ”

The servants on the side heard Shen Qing's words and couldn't help but sigh.

It's worthy of Lord Xiao Shen! Even when husband and wife are warm, they will not forget the righteousness of their family and country!

They have such Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang, will they still be afraid of those hateful foreigners?

They even felt that if Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang became their emperor in the end, it would be the real thing to benefit the people.

According to today's situation, Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang should also compete for this country.

There is no better person to be the new owner of this country than them!

The servants couldn't help but have a light in their eyes, and looked excitedly at the pair of men and women in front of them who were outstanding in appearance and temperament.

Shen Qing didn't know what the servants around her were thinking, and after sending Yu Jiuqing out of the door, she thought for a moment and asked Qing'er beside her, "Is the county lord of Mingzhu up?" ”

Their family usually eats dinner together, and breakfast and lunch are used in their own rooms.

Qing'er nodded and said: "When the slave maid went to fetch water for Mrs. and Yu Xiang today, she happened to see the pomegranate serving beside the county lord of Mingzhu, she said that although the county lord slept better last night than the night before, and did not cry secretly, but she got up at dawn in the morning, but I am afraid that my heart has not settled down."

She took some books and the four treasures of the study to the county lord according to her wife's instructions, and the county lord seemed to be very happy, and he sat in the study and read books since he got up in the morning. ”

Shen Qing thought about how pampered Sima Yu was before, so she sent two maids to serve beside her.

Therefore, she knew that Sima Yu almost didn't sleep all night on the first night, and secretly hid in the quilt and cried alone.

It's just that when she faced her during the day, this little girl looked like she was fine, and she still had the energy to quarrel with Song Xingzhi and administer justice for the little beggar.

Except for the occasional flash of loneliness and sadness on her face, it is difficult to see the true emotions in her heart.

Shen Qing could see that Sima Yu had indeed become stronger, but no matter how strong she was, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl who had not suffered much.

Shen Qing sighed secretly.

She originally thought about telling Sima Yu about her and Yu Jiuqing's thoughts in two days, but after listening to the news from Chen Li in the morning, Shen Qing knew that this matter should not be delayed any longer.

She didn't want to force Sima Yu, if she really didn't want to carry this burden, she and Yu Jiuqing had to find the next royal family member they could support as soon as possible.

She thought for a moment and said lightly, "I'm going to visit the county lord." ”

Sima Yu didn't want to cause trouble for Shen Qing and them, so when she was usually fine, she stayed in her yard.

When Shen Qing walked to the courtyard where she lived, she saw Sima Yu sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the stone table, and was writing something with her head down and a serious face, and she didn't even notice that Shen Qing came in.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over to take a look, and smiled, "The county lord is practicing calligraphy?" ”

But seeing that Sima Yu was clearly writing a poem of Confucianism, her words were delicate and neat, dignified and powerful, and at a glance, I knew that King Gong had indeed worked hard to cultivate this daughter.

Sima Yu was stunned for a moment, quickly put down the pen in his hand and stood up, and said with some surprise: "Why did Madame come over?" I practice calligraphy when I have nothing to do, and my wife said that after the academy is built, she hopes that I can help teach the students inside, I ...... I don't know if I have the ability, but I don't want to disappoint Madame. ”

The women's college that Shen Qing wants to establish is open to all people and all ages, because the students are all women, and the public will definitely not be willing to let male masters teach these women at the beginning.

Shen Qing didn't want to be too radical and cause too much criticism, so he planned to use female masters at the beginning, and then slowly introduce male masters, so that the world could accept them step by step.

Although Sima Yu is young, she can read and write, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shen Qing just mentioned it to her yesterday, she took it to heart, and she had already started practicing, Shen Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and said, "The county lord has always been serious about doing things, how could I be disappointed?" ”

As she spoke, she motioned for Sima Yu to sit down, she sat next to her, pondered for a while, and let the maids and maids serving beside her retreat before saying, "I came here today because I have a very important matter to discuss with the county lord." ”

Sima Yu saw Shen Qing's demeanor and knew that what she was going to say to her was not ordinary, and couldn't help but straighten her waist, as if she was a student listening carefully, and said a little nervously: "Madame wants to say whatever she wants, just say it." ”

What is there to tell her?

Could it be ...... Madame is unwilling to take her in anymore and wants her to leave their house?

Sima Yu's hands couldn't help but clench slightly.

Shen Qing looked at her well-behaved with a somewhat panicked expression, couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry, I won't force you in this matter, this is your own life, and the initiative will always be on you."

Before I talk about this, I would like to ask the county lord a question, what do you think it means to be royal? ”

Sima Yu was slightly stunned, although she didn't know why Shen Qing suddenly asked her this question, she still thought seriously for a moment before she said: "Madam, I am very ashamed, although I was born in the royal family, I never thought about what my identity meant before. ”

Sima Yu chuckled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe when some things are taken for granted, people will easily ignore it."

Before my father died, I had always left my county lord as a matter of course, and enjoyed the respect and worship of the people as a matter of course, and I never thought about what was behind such respect and worship, and whether it carried the expectations and desires of the people.

Ironically, my father often told me that we were born rich and noble because we were born rich, and that doesn't mean that all of this is taken for granted, but I didn't really understand this until my father was gone.

On the way from the capital to Xizhou, I met countless refugees who were forced to leave their homes, unable to even take care of their own food, clothing and safety, so they could only walk forward in a daze and helplessness.

I once slept with a group of refugees, and there was a couple with three children, the youngest of whom had a cold, which was not a serious illness, but in that case, there was no doctor, no medicine, and even food was not enough, so even the smallest illness was a burden.

I heard the couple say that they were going to secretly lose the child, and they couldn't go on the road with him, and I ...... I heard it on the sidelines and couldn't help but say, why should my own children give up? Then the couple looked at me like crazy, yelled at me, said that I didn't understand anything, and that if it weren't for the incompetence of the court and the royal family, why would they even give up their own flesh and blood, and said...... All this is the fault of the inability to protect their court......

When I was excited, they even rushed up and tried to punch and kick me, and if it weren't for the fact that my father had been around me to protect me, I would have been killed. ”

As if thinking of that terrible experience, the little girl's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

The little girl choked up and continued: "But I don't blame them, I know that it was indeed me who was wrong, and the most painful thing about making this decision was obviously them, I am an outsider, and I can't help anything, so what qualifications do I have to blame them?"

What's more, I, an outsider, am the same person in the royal family who caused them to fall here.

The people worship us and give us trust and respect because they hope that we can protect them and let them live without food and clothing.

However, I can't do anything, and everyone in the Great Qi royal family can't do it......

What kind of royal family is a royal family that can't protect the people? Only the royal family that can protect the people has the meaning of existence. ”

Shen Qing was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that she was thinking so deeply.

It seems that she has indeed experienced a lot in the past month or so, and her answer far exceeded her expectations.
