Chapter 88

Today is Grandma's birthday.

Li Qinyuan didn't like this family any more, so he stayed to have dinner with others and waited for them to have a rest.

At the command of old lady Li, cicada Yi carried a light to take Li Qinyuan out. When he put on his cloak, he handed the food box in his hand and said, "old lady, I'm afraid you're hungry at night. I've specially asked the small kitchen to prepare food for you. I've wrapped several layers of cloth outside, so it won't be cold on the road."

"All you used to like."

"A large bowl of wine dumplings with a few Mei Cai meat pancakes, and half a plate of sliced duck left in the night. I know you're afraid of getting tired of it, so I'll give you all the skin outside. It doesn't matter whether you want to dip it in the sauce or wrap it in the pancake."

Li Qinyuan's fingers were still hooked on the ribbon of his cloak. Hearing the words, he laughed helplessly. "How old am I? How can my grandmother still treat me as a child? There are also windows open in the Academy. If I'm really hungry, I can eat there. "

That's what I said. I took it after all.

Cicada clothes said with a smile: "where is to treat you as a child, old lady? It's a pity that you are alone outside, and you don't want to take the bookboy with you like other young masters. You have to rely on yourself to do everything on weekdays. Old lady has to wipe tears every time she talks about it."

Then he sighed again, "these days when you are not at home, the old lady can't do anything and doesn't eat much."

Li Qinyuan knew what she meant, but he kept silent. When he finished, he said, "please take care of your grandmother. If you have something to do, come to the college and tell me."

Cicada clothing naturally has no reason not to, while carrying a lamp to send people out, and then said: "I remember that the academy is going to have an exam soon, you should go home earlier after the exam this year, new year's Eve is also your birthday, the old lady has been talking about it for a long time."

A few years ago, the seventh young master and the Duke of the country were not happy. Even on New Year's Eve, they just came back to kowtow to the old lady, and then they disappeared.

"Say it again."

Li Qinyuan didn't agree or refuse. He had already gone outside. He stopped, took the lamp from cicada Yi's hand, and then went out alone with a food box and a lamp.

Cicada Yi looked at the figure he left and sighed again. When he was out of sight, he turned back.

As soon as he got to the outer courtyard, Li Qinyuan's steps slowed down. The snow had stopped, but the wind was strong at night, and the snow on the eaves and tree tops was blown by the cold wind, just like white hair, hitting people.

Li Qinyuan closed his eyes and turned his head. When the cold wind passed, he opened his eyes again and looked forward.

Today, instead of wearing a high ponytail as before, he wore a white jade crown and a brocade coat. A few wisps of ink and snow stuck to his cheek, which made his jade like face more dusty and refined. However, his long and narrow eyes were colder than the snow in winter.

He just stood in the same place, looking at the front faintly.

There stood a middle-aged man, 40 years old, dressed in green. His facial features were very similar to those of Li Qinyuan, as if they were carved in the same mold, but their temperament was very different.

Li Qinyuan is like a fire. No matter how indifferent and careless he is, there is a fire hidden in his heart. There is reluctance and anger hidden in the fire. That's why he tries his best to break free from the shackles and escape from the place he hates.

What about Li Censhen?

He carries the killing air of northern desert, which is the clank of iron left by decades of war, but his temperament is very quiet, like a lukewarm warm water. You can't see his mood from this man, and you can't see what he is thinking.

Li Qinyuan didn't want to see it, let alone guess. He stood in the same place and looked for a while. Then he suddenly took a step and walked over in silence.

There was no pause, and there was no need to look at people more. Just as he was about to pass by, Li Censhen opened his mouth, and his voice was very light and flat. "I heard that you saved the two children who were looking after the family."

Li Qinyuan didn't reply, and his steps didn't mean to stop. Li Cen Shen Yu Guang looked at the corner of his coat, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally he closed his mouth and kept silent.

"Little master."

Wei Qingyi is coming in from the outside. He sees Li Qinyuan coming over with a cold face and asks him to salute. Seeing that he doesn't even say a word, he goes outside. The Duke of the country is standing on his back not far away. He sighs gently and still keeps a respectful posture. After people leave, he goes to Li Censhen, "Duke of the country."

"Well."

Li Censhen nodded faintly. He turned to see that Li Qinyuan had gone out, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "what's the situation at the border?"

Wei Qingyi replied: "everything is fine for the time being, but in recent years, the Turkic royal family is not peaceful. Most of the princes have been impeached. If the second prince is in power, I'm afraid... The border will be restless again."

"I see."

Li Censhen looked at the door with a negative hand, "after the new year, just go back."

"Guogong..." Wei Qingyi frowned and advised, "you are not well, your majesty also asked you to stay in Beijing for a few years. You'd better wait until you are well

"No need."

Li Cen Shen's tone was irrefutable, and Wei Qingyi didn't dare to say any more. He just thought of Li Qinyuan, who had left before, and then said, "why don't you tell me something clearly? When you received the letter from your wife, it was the most critical moment of the battle. In order to come back early, you fought for four days without sleep and were seriously injured... "

He lowered his voice, and his eyes became red. "Your body is caused by your refusal to stay for treatment. With such a body, five horses died. Why don't you... Make it clear to me?"

"If you make it clear, I won't... Hate you for so many years."

Li Censhen called him, "Castle Peak."

In the vast world of snow, in the constant cold wind, his voice seemed ethereal, "I am not a good husband, nor a good father, in my heart, the country is always greater than home."

"He hates me for that."

"No mistake."

"My lord..."

"Go and rest." Li Censhen then turned and walked to the inner courtyard.

Wei Qingyi looked at his back when he left. Since Li Censhen was just a little general, he had followed him. After so many years, the former high spirited young man also began to have white hair. He was really sad.

The inner courtyard.

Yin Wan just coaxed Dong'Er to sleep. When she saw Yichun coming in, she just lifted her eyelids and asked casually, "where's Guo Gong?"

Yichun seemed to be hesitant. After a while, he whispered, "the Duke of the country, he's gone to jinguiyuan."

"Well

Yin Wan turned another page of the account book, his voice was calm, not with joy and anger, "I know."

Yichun looked at her, but she was a little anxious. She could not help but walk over and say, "madam, the Lord of the Kingdom has not been here for a long time. Why, why are you not worried at all?"

The rest of the servants in the room have gone out, and the only one Dong'Er has already fallen asleep.

Yin Wan put down the account book with a smile and looked up at her, "Yichun, what do you want in your life?"

"Ah?"

Yichun was stunned and blushed at half a sound. She answered in a low voice, "I just want to save more money. I want to find a loyal and honest husband..." then, seeing Yan Wan's smiling eyes, she quickly added, "I want to accompany my wife and serve you all the time."

Yan Wan said with a smile, "do you know what I want?"

Yichun whispered, "I don't know."

"I used to ask for harmony between husband and wife, white head to old age," Yin Wan looked at the lampshade painted with beauty, the candle flickered, the voice was neither high nor low, neither happy nor angry, "but I didn't wait."

Although Yichun followed Yin Wan later, she also knew that her wife had been married before, and she was also a cousin who grew up together. Unfortunately, it was only a few years after she got married that she got married. She suddenly regretted mentioning today's topic, and her voice was a little helpless, "Madam, slave..."

"Nothing."

Knowing what she was thinking, Yin Wan patted the back of her hand with a smile, indicating that it was ok, and then he said with others, "that's just a young illusion. What I want now is to be safe in this world and grow up safely."

She said, and then looked into the inner room. There was a child's figure under the blue curtain.

The child slept soundly and soundly.

Yan Wan looked at it, and his eyebrows softened a little. When he turned his head, he continued to talk with others and said, "you are the big servant girl beside me. You usually act and speak on behalf of me. It's good for you to mention this today, so I'll tell you my mind, and I won't have to pick things up in the future."

"The LORD was kind to me. He rescued me from the mire and gave me dignity and identity. I sincerely respect him and the old lady."

"I know there are many people in our house who feel that Qi Lang is not good with the Duke of the country, so they focus on Dong'Er. Although Dong'Er is also a legitimate son, I never have any other idea. I just hope he can grow up peacefully."

"If someone runs to Dong'Er in the future and talks about something, which makes their brother discordant, don't blame me for being rude."

Speaking of the last sentence, Yin Wan's voice had cooled down, Yichun's face turned white, and he quickly knelt down, "I'll save it. Tomorrow I'll go to pick them up, and I won't let the driver contaminate the young master's ears."

Yan Wan then helped the man up, patted her hand again, and said with a smile, "you just understand."

The candle flickered in the room, her voice with some years of precipitation after the stability, or through the world after the quiet, "people in this life want to ask for anything, but remember a word, greed will lose, ask for the request, do not think about those who do not belong to their own."

"Only in this way can the world be stable."

Yichun is still young after all. She can't help asking: "madam, you don't think that the Duke of the country can..." she thinks that her words are really overbearing. She dare not say, "it's late at night. I'll serve you to wash."

Yan Wan laughed and didn't say anything. When Yichun retired, she didn't go to sleep immediately, but stood in front of the hexagonal palace lamp.

The candle had been burning all night, and it was a little dim. She took the gold pick to pick the wick, and the wick beat, and the dim wick lit up again, and Yin Wan fiddled with it.

Of course, she was also extravagant.

When she met Li Censhen, she had already returned to her mother's home. Her parents, who had loved her before, felt that she had lost the face of the Yin family. As for her elder brother and sister-in-law, not to mention her elder brother and sister-in-law, even her nephews and nieces who used to take care of her in private also felt that she was shameful.

Disappointment is accumulated day by day, and strong emotion is also missing in such accumulated disappointment.

Whether it's love or family

It's hard for her to think that she can marry Li Censhen. The God of war of the Zhou Dynasty, the famous Duke of Wei, is the second marriage. Some princes and nobles want to send their daughter, but in the end, Li Censhen chooses her.

Because of what she had said.

-"My Lord, I know that you only want someone to take care of your family. Although I'm not more noble than those daughters, I'm good at taking care of the inner house. I also know that you still have a wife in your heart. I don't want anything else. I just want my lord to give me a decent and honor."

She is an ambitious woman.

Those who are not willing to spend the rest of their lives with qingdeng, and those who are not willing to abuse her, are happy from now on, so she goes to find Li Censhen regardless of her face, hoping to fight back against those who are sorry for her one day.

Li Censhen gave her dignity and honor, so that she can be among the celebrities in Beijing and become the admiration of Wei Guogong and his wife.

The people who bullied her at the beginning have long been hidden in the capital. Even her family members can only rely on her nose now. No one will not love such Li Censhen, but she knows the propriety and what to ask and what not to ask.

If she gets what she deserves, she won't think that it doesn't belong to her.

Affection

Others are rare and precious, if not rare, it is just a river flowing eastward.

Although she was not born in a famous family, she also had her pride. She didn't belong to her wholeheartedly, so she didn't want to.

It was.

Today, the same is true.

"Crackling", the candle continued to jump several times, from half bright to bright again, Yan Wan looked and laughed for a while, then put down the gold pick, put on the lampshade, cleaned his hands and went to rest.

In a few days, it's near the end of the year.

This year's exam has finally come to Luming Academy. Unlike the students from buzhizhai and changrongzhai, the expensive girls from Pingshuo Zhai also have to take the exam, but the exam is relatively simple and loose.

Just like those two schools have to test for three days, and every day the courses are very full.

But pingshuozhai is much more relaxed. Although the examination is also three days, it only takes two exams every day.

Because of the examination, the former four quarter (eight o'clock) class has been changed to two quarter (nine thirty) exam. However, they still get up very early. On exam days like this, students take their own food to the Academy in order to seize the time to study.

Gu Wuyou asked Bailu to prepare a food box for her, as well as some fragrant pills and peppermint dew to wake her up.

Hongshuang is a simple girl. She still doesn't know what happened to her and Li Qinyuan. Seeing her in such a battle, she still laughs at her: "it looks like miss is going to be the number one scholar in the exam."

Gu Wuyou is turning over the food box to see if there is anything left. What's in his mind to answer her? When the inspection was finished, he was about to go out with his things. When he thought of something, he stopped and said, "Hey, my knee pads."

I almost forgot.

Just as she was about to go in and get it, Bailu came out of the curtain, handed her a pair of knee pads in her hand, and said angrily, "I know you forgot."

Gu Wuyou quickly took it. She rushed out these days because she was afraid of the cold. It was frozen during the general's examination. On the front was a layer of brocade cloth embroidered with plum blossoms. Inside was a piece of red fox skin from Langya. The fur was smooth and warm.

That's it.

It's not going to be cold.

She also chatted with her third brother yesterday. She knew that he almost didn't freeze to death when he was taking the imperial examination. Although the general's exam was only a general exam this time, and it wasn't like the imperial examination that he didn't buy a fast, Gu Wuyou was worried that he was frozen and hungry.

It's the first time to see the young general preparing for the exam. Gu Wuyou's mood is unspeakably excited.

The kneepad is also properly placed, she said to the two servant girls: "I went to the Academy." Then, without waiting for them to speak, they bent their eyebrows and went out.

"Walk slowly and don't fall."

Bailu reminded her that she didn't look back and waved her hand. She shook her head helplessly.

"Miss, why do you like going to the Academy so much now?" Red frost some wonder, "before the home invited Mr., Miss refused to go."

Bailu looked at her and shook her head when she saw that she was still innocent.

"What's the matter?" Red frost does not understand.

"... nothing."

This silly child, where Miss likes to go to school? It's not because there are people who like her. Now she doesn't want to say anything out of line with miss. Miss Zuo is really happy now. Compared with the way she used to cry several times in three days when she was with Zhao Shizi, although Mr. Li has a bad reputation, at least she hasn't made Miss cry.

Do not set fast.

The exam is coming, and a group of people are just like cramming. They all have books to memorize before the exam. Even Fu Xian, who never likes to study, frowns and carries books on his back. Naturally, there are other sounds in the room.

Some said what they had prepared for this time, some said what their parents had prepared for them, and some said where to play after the exam.

Young Lang loves to compete, even the food boxes he brings are better than others.

As a result, someone asked Li Qinyuan, "Qi Lang, what did your family give you?" That young man is also a naive one. He got along with Li Qinyuan several times and felt that he was not a ferocious person, so he liked to talk with him from time to time.

Obviously, he didn't find this topic well.

Fu Xian and Jing Yue Bai, who had been endorsing, stopped. Fu Xian, in particular, frowned his sword eyebrows tightly and pursed his thin lips. The young man also responded.

Li Qinyuan has a bad relationship with his family. In the past, he didn't seem to bring any food boxes when he took the exam.

Of course, it's not that no one in the Li family has sent them to him. His stepmother is used to doing things. Even his grandmother always loves him, but he feels bored and doesn't want to compare with these people. Every time, he orders them in advance so that they don't have to send them.

Anyway, they always bring more food to Fu Xian.

Knowing that he had said something wrong, the boy turned white and said, "I, I'm not..."

Li Qinyuan also did not put down the book in his hand, turned a page, raised his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "it's OK, read a book."

"Ah, good."

Young where dare to say more, quickly turned around, read books.

Zhao Chengyou just came in and didn't say anything when he saw this picture. He used to meet Li Qinyuan in the academy and would say a few words, that is, Li Qinyuan was indifferent to him, and he would greet people very politely. But once he said goodbye to the Li family, he didn't want to keep this face with Li Qinyuan.

Usually, even if I see it, I pass by without saying anything.

As soon as I was about to step in, I heard a young man coming behind me and said to Li Qinyuan, "young master Li, your family has sent you something."

Zhao Chengyou's steps at his feet made him look at the food box.

Li Qinyuan, who had been looking down at the book, was surprised to hear this.

Qilang: it's from my daughter-in-law. You don't have it.
