Chapter 11

Madam Zheng took Qiuyue to clean up, Li Qing temporarily lived in Qiuyue's house, and Qiuyue and Tingxue squeezed into the same place.

In the evening, Madam Zheng quietly went out to inquire and came back to say that Mrs. Li was sick and Doctor Wang had to ask for his pulse in the mansion. It should have been invited by Master Li. Li Qing nodded. Li Yunsheng was just a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites and could not invite the Doctor. Doctor Wang was also familiar with Li's mansion.

The next day was a holiday. In the afternoon, Li Qing was sitting at the table copying the filial piety. Tingxue ran in with excitement on her face and panting:

"Girl! Girl! Li's mansion has brought two concubines to the master!"

Li Qing frowned,

"Tell me clearly, what does it mean to send two concubines?"

Madam Zheng also walked up to her and waited for Tingxue to speak. Tingxue was evenly breathing, with a gloating expression on her face and said:

"I was in the front yard and saw Madam Wen bringing Yuhu and Yinyan in. Yuhu and Yinyan were dressed in a new way, so I followed in and listened secretly. Madam Wen said that when the master and the eldest lady heard that the wife was in poor health, they were afraid that there would be no one to serve the master, so they sent Yuhu and Yinyan to serve the master and his wife!"

Li Qing looked at Madam Zheng in shock, and Madam Zheng also looked at her with surprise. Could this be the master’s concession? Yuhu and Yinyan are both the eldest lady’s girls.

The next morning, Madam Zheng quietly went back and forth:

"Last night, the master took the room of Yuhu and Yinyan and arranged it to the wing room of the west yard of the main room. Each of them transferred two little girls to serve, and asked someone to call Aunt Yu and Yan. The maid who was a rude in the main room said that the lights in the wife's room had not been turned off all night and all the medicines they took in the morning were vomited out. The master asked someone to go to invite Doctor Wang."

Li Qing sat blankly for a while. Her mother and Mrs. Li were both pitiful people! Madam Zheng also sighed softly, Li Qing touched the corner of her mouth and said with a forced smile:

"We have to plan too. The nanny looked for an opportunity to secretly find Lian Qing, and took a small amount of 500 taels of silver, and sent him a message: As soon as the girl asked him to pay attention to something, he quickly handed over as soon as there was news."

Madam Zheng agreed to go out. Li Qing sat in an armchair and looked out the window blankly. The trees in the yard had already died. The sun shone straight into the room, dazzlingly bright. Men can kiss, respect, or marry, but cannot love! Mrs. Li loved Li Yunsheng, otherwise, she would not have ignored family background, poverty, or even ignored his marriage to the Lian family. She had a wife and daughter and insisted on marrying the Tanhualang who always smiled like a spring breeze. Her desperate love made the poor Lian die on the way to Beijing, and her biological mother, the exquisite and translucent Aunt Gu, who had been favored by Master Li for decades, had her life. Now, this love hurts herself and her children!

Back then, didn’t my overly persistent love ruin him and his life?

"girl!"

Qiuyue was holding a cup of tea and was looking at her worriedly. Li Qing suddenly felt enlightened and was thinking too much again!

"I'm fine."

Li Qing said with a smile, looking up at Qiuyue: she is tall and slim, with a slightly long face, a thick lips, and she is simple and honest, her eyebrows and eyes are very plain, and her hair is very good. This little girl who looks honest and gentle is very clear in her heart. Well, she has to tell her some things.

"Qiuyue, how many years have you been with me?"

Qiuyue was stunned,

"Why did the girl remember to ask this? I followed the girl when I was eight years old, and it was nine years old by the end of the year."

"Are you planning for the future?"

Qiuyue was surprised,

"girl?"

"My future is uncertain. You have been with me for many years and have been doing your best. There is no result. If you have any plans, I can plan for you now."

Qiuyue fell to the ground with tears in her eyes:

"Girl, Qiuyue is a miserable family. After all these years, she has treated me like a sister. She has never treated us girls as objects. Qiuyue has already made up her mind to serve the girl all her life! No matter what the girl does, there must be someone to serve and help!"

Li Qing went over and pulled her up.

"Since that's the case, you can follow me from now on. Get up first, I have something to ask you."

Qiuyue stood up and sat down with Li Qing. Li Qing asked in a low voice:

"Have Liuli and the others mentioned their future plans on weekdays?"

"Liuli is like that, and she is also following the girl. Tingxue has a distant cousin. She grew up. Both of them are very interesting. But that cousin is from outside. Tingxue is a child of the Li family. If she wants to let go, she has to ask for grace. Tingxue has been worried about this. The Rou family has given her dozens of taels of silver and asked her father to get the incense and candles from the temple to make. The family life has become prosperous day by day. She has always wanted to redeem her, but she only remembers the girl's kindness and cannot speak."

"Well, please find out what Tingxue's cousin is named and where you live. I'll send a message to Lian Qing and ask him to find out carefully about the character of this family. You can't marry Tingxue to the wrong family."

Qiuyue nodded,

"You go, call Liuli, I always ask her."

Qiuyue agreed and went down and called Liuli to come up.

Li Mansion Rongqing Hall, in the east wing room of the backyard.

The eldest lady of the Li Mansion was leaning on the couch leisurely. Madam Wen stood in front of the couch, gently fanning her and whispering her:

"…Miss Jiu went to invite her and returned again. She was like a girl and a woman. There was nothing wrong with that girl."

"Yesterday, the Princess Huaiyang invited me to the mansion, and actually wanted to marry that girl for her third son!"

Madam Wen was shocked and continued to slap her hands:

"It's not that her third son..."

"Not that. With the honor of the royal palace, how could the princess marry a fifth-rank official!"

The eldest lady chuckled a few times and continued:

"This girl is a smart girl. She can even hold Prime Minister Wen's family, the Minister of Rites, and our Ninth Miss in her hands! If she knew that she had promised her, she wouldn't know what to do."

"It's really admirable to say that, but after eating a plate of snacks, it made such a big noise! ​​Is the third young master's affairs to Madam Zheng?"

"Not now. I'll wait until the two companies change the Geng Tie, and then give it to her. Otherwise, that girl might be able to break this good marriage."

"Mrs. I think so attentively."

"That bitch, how cunning that he had raised such a daughter! And that little girl, the mother and daughter are actually a pair of embroidered pillows! Humph, after all, they are small families. They think that being spoiled means loving their children, but they don't know the principle of raising them. They have to teach them first, and then raise them."

"I heard that before leaving, Aunt Gu left a message, not allowing her family to enter the capital..."

Two days later, Mrs. Gu, the second wife of the Li family, came to visit Mrs. Li. The second wife of the Li family was a illegitimate son, and Mrs. Gu is the legitimate sister of Mrs. Li's biological mother, Aunt Gu. After Mrs. Gu left, Mrs. Li gradually got better. The two new aunts also arrived at the main house early every day to set up rules.

Half a month passed, and Li Qing sent the copied filial piety scriptures to the master's study. After that, he still copied the scriptures in the house every day and never went out.

Madam Zheng replied quietly that Lian Qing had something to say and wanted to return the lady. Li Qing walked around the house countless times and decided to take the risk of going out to see Lian Qing.

In the afternoon, the sun shone straight on the ground, and the cicadas screamed hoarsely, and the Li Mansion was silent.

Li Qing put on coral clothes and ordered Qiuyue and others to guard the yard. After following Madam Zheng, Liuli took a step forward.

"Girl, I'll go with you!"

Li Qing smiled at her with a peaceful expression:

"No, don't worry."

As he said that, he turned around and went out with Madam Zheng. The two walked along the garden wall toward the west door of the garden. When they arrived at the door, Li Qing looked around vigilantly. Madam Zheng took out a key from his arms and opened the door quickly. Madam Zheng quickly went out. Madam Zheng locked the door from outside. Outside the door, a half-old green cloth sedan was waiting not far away. A servant with a 15 or 16-year-old face, a very ordinary face, but extremely flexible eyes were Mu Tong. Li Qing smiled at him and quickly got into the sedan chair. The group quickly left.

After about half an hour of walking, the sedan chair stopped in the backyard of Qingyutang. Madam Zheng lifted up the curtain and helped Li Qing down. In the yard, there were only four servants: Mu Tong, Banxia, ​​Su Ye, and Sangzhi. The five knelt down and kowtowed. Lian Qing ordered the four to go to the front and the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Lian Qing's expression relaxed, Li Qing felt relieved in his heart.

"Uncle Qing, is there any news in Han?"

Speaking of Korean, Lian Qing expressed admiration:

"It was really lively for a while! First, there were rumors that King Ping was dead, and then I heard that Xi Di sent troops to attack Dasan Pass, and Han Di ran away from the pass. The Xi people entered the pass. The next day, King Ping actually led his troops outside Dasan Pass. Calculated the days, King Ping had actually galloped for 5,000 miles in ten days! It was really convincing! King Ping's elder brother Lin Sutao led his men to sneak attack Longping Prefecture. The Xi people were afraid of being beaten by King Ping over the years. I heard that the soldiers who dared to send out only after King Ping died. It is said that when he saw King Ping, the morale of the army was immediately in chaos. Tens of thousands of people escaped, and Longping Prefecture was also lost.

The palace sent people to the Han area, which was also Hutu. It was actually carrying the flag of mourning. I heard that I had brought two enthronements, one enthroned by the eldest brother of King Ping, Lin Yuntao, and the other enthroned by the eldest son of King Ping, Lin Hongjian, the younger brother of King Ping, Lin Subo, detained the sent in the inner prison at that time. After obtaining these two enthronements, the Han area called out. It is said that King Ping wrote a letter crying and said that someone cursed him and that a treacherous minister was trying to harm the Han area. Now, the court is in chaos."

Li Qing was surprised and then laughed.

"This King Ping is so good at getting sick! This time, Han land has taken a big advantage! If the emperor wants to appease him, he will definitely allow him to occupy Longping Prefecture. Xi land has lost the barrier of Longping Prefecture, and it will be flattened inward, and then it will lose tens of thousands of people. From now on, it will be the delicious food that King Ping said, and you can eat it whenever you want."
