Chapter 88

Views:

After all, today is my grandmother's birthday.

Even if Li Qinyuan didn't like this house, he still stayed to accompany others for dinner, and left when they were ready to rest.

Chanyi was instructed by Mrs. Li, and took Li Qinyuan out with a lamp. When he put on his cloak, he handed over the food box in his hand and said, "Old Mrs. is afraid that you will be hungry while reading at night, so I specially let the small kitchen I have prepared food for you, and the slave has also wrapped a few layers of cloth outside, so that it will not get cold on the road."

"It's all what you liked to eat in the old days."

"A large bowl of fermented rice dumplings with a few sesame seeds and meat, and half a plate of roast duck with sliced skin left over from the night. I know you are afraid of getting tired, so I will give you the skin outside. It doesn't matter if you want to eat it alone with the sauce. It's okay to eat it wrapped in that biscuits."

Li Qinyuan's fingers were still hooked on the thin belt of the cloak. Hearing this, he smiled helplessly, "How old is I, why does my grandmother still treat me as a child? The academy also has an open window. If I'm really hungry, go there to eat. it is also fine."

That being said, I still took it.

Chanyi smiled and said: "Where do you treat you as a child, the old lady is distressed that you are alone outside, and you are unwilling to take the book boy there like the young masters of other families. You have to do everything on your own on weekdays. Speaking of which, I have to wipe away tears."

After speaking, he sighed again, "These days when you're not at home, the old lady can't do anything, and she doesn't eat much."

Li Qinyuan knew what she meant, but he still remained silent, and after the others finished speaking, he answered, "Take care of your grandmother. If you have anything, come to the academy and tell me."

Chanyi naturally has no reason to not respond, and while carrying the lamp to send people out, he continued: "I remember that the academy is about to take an exam, you should go home early after the exam this year, New Year's Eve is also your birthday, the old lady has already said It's been a long time."

A few years ago, the seventh young master and the grandfather of the country had an unpleasant quarrel, so even on New Year's Eve, he just came back to kowtow to the old lady, and then disappeared.

"talk later."

Li Qinyuan neither agreed nor refused. He had already walked outside. He stopped, took the lamp from Chanyi's hand, and then walked out alone with the food box and the lamp.

Chanyi looked at the figure he was leaving and sighed again, and when she was gone, she turned around and went back.

When he was about to reach the outer courtyard, Li Qinyuan's footsteps slowed down. The snow had stopped by now, but it was windy at night, and the snow on the eaves and treetops was blown by the cold wind, like white hair. , and hit people indiscriminately.

Li Qinyuan turned his head with his eyes closed, and waited for the cold wind to pass before reopening his eyes and looking forward.

Today, he did not wear a high ponytail as before, but wore a white jade crown and a brocade top. There would be a few strands of black hair and some fine snow sticking to his cheeks, which made the jade-like face even more beautiful. There is a little more earthy and refined taste, but his long and narrow Danfeng eyes are even colder than the snow in this winter.

He just stood there, looking straight ahead.

There stood a middle-aged man, forty years old, dressed in Tsing Yi. He and Li Qinyuan had very similar facial features, as if they were carved out of the same mold, but their temperaments were completely different.

Li Qinyuan is like a fire, no matter how indifferent and inattentive he is on weekdays, there is a fire hidden in his heart, and there is unwillingness and anger hidden in the fire, so he will try his best to break the shackles on his body and escape from this what he hates.

And what about Li Censhen

He carries the killing aura of the Saibei desert, which is the iron bones left over from decades of fighting, but his temperament is very quiet, like a lukewarm warm water, you can't see it from this man His emotions made it even less clear what he was thinking.

Li Qinyuan didn't want to look, let alone guess. He stood there and watched for a while, then suddenly picked up his pace and walked over silently.

There was no pause, and there was no intention to look at people more. Just when he was about to pass by, Li Censhen spoke in a low and even voice, "I heard that you saved the two children of the Gu family."

Li Qinyuan didn't answer, and the steps under his feet didn't mean to stop. Li Censhen looked at the corner of his clothes and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and remained silent.

"Master."

Wei Qingyi was coming in from outside, and when he saw Li Qinyuan walking over with a cold face, he quickly stepped aside and saluted the person, and when he saw that he didn't even say a word, he went outside, and the grandfather of the country was not far away with his back on his back. Standing, he sighed softly, still maintaining a respectful posture, and then walked towards Li Censhen after the people left, "Master Guo."

"Um."

Li Censhen nodded lightly. He turned his head and saw that Li Qinyuan had already left. He didn't say anything, but asked someone, "How is the situation at the border."

Wei Qingyi replied: "For the time being, everything is fine. It's just that the Turkic royal family has not been very peaceful in recent years, and the princes have often been impeached. If the second prince ascends the throne, with that person's temperament, I'm afraid... the border will be disturbed again."

"understood."

Li Censhen looked at the door with his hands behind his back, "Let's go back after the New Year."

"Master Guo..." Wei Qingyi frowned and persuaded, "Your health is not yet healthy, and His Majesty also asked you to stay in the capital for a few more years of recuperation. You should go back after you have recovered."

"No need."

Li Censhen's tone was unbearable, and Wei Qingyi didn't dare to say anything. He just remembered Li Qinyuan who had left earlier, and couldn't help but say again: "Why don't you tell the young master clearly about some things? When you received the letter from Madam, it was the most critical moment of the battle. You fought without sleep for four days in order to come back sooner, and you were seriously injured…”

He lowered his voice, and his eyes turned red, "Your current body is caused by your refusal to stay here to heal your injuries, dragging such a body, running fast and whipping five horses to death, why do you... Did you make it clear?"

"If you make it clear, the young master will not... hate you for so many years."

Li Censhen called him, "Qingshan."

In this vast white snow world, in this whistling cold wind, his voice seemed a little ethereal, "I am not a good husband, nor a good father, in my heart, the country will always be greater than the home."

"He hates me for that."

"correct."

"Your Highness..."

"Go and rest." After Li Censhen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Wei Qingyi watched his back as he left. He had followed Li Censhen since he was just a small general. After so many years, the high-spirited young man from the past also began to have gray hair. He looked really uncomfortable. .

The inner court.

Yin Wan had just coaxed Dong'er to fall asleep, then she sat on a chair and flipped through the ledger. When she saw Yichun coming in, she just lifted her eyelids and asked casually, "Where's your grandfather?"

Yichun seemed to be hesitant, and after a while, he replied in a low voice, "Master Guo... he's gone to Jin Guiyuan."

"Um,"

Yin Wan turned over another page of the ledger, her voice was calm and not full of anger, "Got it."

Seeing her like this, Yichun felt a little anxious, so she walked over and said, "Ma'am, Grandpa Guo has never rested with you after he has been back for so long. Why are you not in a hurry at all?"

The rest of the people in the room had already gone out, and the only Dong'er had already fallen asleep.

Yin Wan smiled and put down the ledger in her hand, looked up at her, "Yichun, what do you want in your life?"

"what?"

Yichun was stunned for a moment, then blushed after a while, and replied in a low voice, "I just want to save more money, find a loyal and honest husband..." After speaking, seeing Yin Wan's smiling eyes, she quickly added, " I still want to accompany Madam and serve you all the time."

Yin Wan smiled, "Then do you know what I want?"

Yichun replied in a low voice, "I don't know."

"I asked for a harmonious husband and wife, and a white head to grow old." Yin Wan looked at the lampshade painted with beauties, the candle was flickering, her voice was neither loud nor low, neither happy nor angry, "but I didn't wait."

Although Yichun only followed Yin Wan later, she also knew that his wife was married before, and I heard that he was a cousin who grew up with childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, the marriage came to a divorce within a few years, and she suddenly regretted mentioning it. Today this topic is over, and the voice is a little helpless, "Madam, slave..."

"fine."

Yin Wan knew what she was thinking, she patted the back of her hand with a smile, indicating that it was okay, and then said with the person, "That's just a foolish idea when I was young, what I want now is peace in this world and safety in Dong'er. grow up."

As she spoke, she glanced at the back room again, and there was a figure of a child under the blue curtain.

The child slept soundly and peacefully.

Yin Wan looked at it, her brows softened a little, and when she turned her head, she resumed her previous words and said with the same person, "You are the big maid by my side, and your actions and speeches also represent me, today you are It's alright to bring this up, and I'll tell you what I'm thinking, and save those things from messing about with you in the future."

"My grandfather is kind to me. He rescued me from the quagmire and gave me dignity and identity. I respect him and the old lady from the bottom of my heart."

"I know that many people in our house feel that Qilang is not on good terms with the grandfather of the country, so they put their minds on Dong'er. Although Dong'er is also a direct son, I have never had any other thoughts. I just hope that he can be safe and sound. grow up."

"If someone runs up to Dong'er and says something random in the future, causing their brothers to be at odds, don't blame me for being rude."

When it came to the last sentence, Yin Wan's voice had cooled down, Yichun's face turned pale, and he knelt down quickly, "You can save it, tomorrow, the slave will go and mention them, and I will never let that thing stain the young master's ears."

Yin Wan helped her up, patted her hand again, and said with a smile, "It's good if you understand."

The candles in the room flickered, and her voice carried the stability after some years of precipitation, or the quietness after seeing through the world, "A person can ask for anything in his life, but he must remember one sentence, greed for too much will lose, ask for it. Don't think about those that don't belong to you."

"In this way, the world can be peaceful."

After all, Yichun was still young, so she couldn't help but ask, "Madam, then you don't have the slightest thought that the grandfather of the country can..." She probably felt that what she said was overstepped, and she dared not say it again, "It's late at night, my slave will serve you. Wash up."

Yin Wan smiled and said nothing. When Yichun retired, she did not fall asleep immediately, but stood in front of the hexagonal palace lantern.

The candle had been burning all night, and it was already a little dim. She took the golden peg and picked the wick. With a "pop", the wick jumped, and the wick that was dim just now came on again. Yin Wan just fiddled with it. on.

Naturally, she also hoped for it.

When she met Li Censhen, she had already returned to her parents' home. Her parents who loved her in the past felt that she had lost the face of the Yin family, not to mention her elder brothers and sisters-in-law. Even her nephews and nieces, who had taken care of her in the past, felt her in private. shame.

Disappointment is accumulated day by day, and strong emotions are also missing from such accumulated disappointment.

Whether it's love or family...

Being able to marry Li Censhen was something she didn't dare to think about. The God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the famous Duke of Wei, was a second marriage, and some princes and nobles wanted to send their daughters there, but Li Censhen chose her in the end.

It's just because of what she said to her at the beginning.

- "Master Guo, I know that you marry a wife only so that someone can take care of the family. Although I am not born more noble than those daughters, I am good at taking care of the house. I also know that you have a wife in your heart, and you will not overstep it. I do not ask for anything else. , I just ask the grandfather of the country to give me a decent and honor."

She is an ambitious woman.

Unwilling to be with Qing Deng for the rest of her life, and even more unwilling to those who abused her from now on, she looked for Li Censhen regardless of her face, and only hoped that one day she would be able to fight back against those who had wronged her.

Li Censhen gave her dignity and honor, so that she could become a celebrity in the capital and become the wife of Wei Guogong that everyone envied.

The people who bullied her in the past have long since disappeared in the capital, and even her family members can only rely on her breath to survive. No one would not love Li Censhen like this, but she knows what to do and what to ask for. , what can't be asked for.

When she gets what she deserves, she won't delusionally think about what doesn't belong to her.

affection…

It is precious when others are rare. If it is not rare, it is just a river of spring water flowing eastward.

She Yin Wan, although not from a famous family, but also has her pride, it does not belong to her wholeheartedly, she does not want it.

It was so.

Today, the same is true.

"Crackling", the candlelight jumped several times in succession, from half-bright to bright again, Yin Wan looked at it and laughed for a while, then put down the golden peg in her hand, covered the lampshade, and cleaned her hands. , to rest.

The end of the year is approaching in a few days.

Luming Academy has finally ushered in the exam this year. Unlike the students from Buzhizhai and Changrongzhai, although the ladies of Pingshuozhai also have to take the exam, the assessment is relatively simple and loose.

Just like the two academies had to take the exam for three days, the courses for the exam were full every day.

But Pingshuozhai's side is much easier. Although the assessment is also three days, there are only two exams per day.

Because of the assessment, the class used to be at 4:00 a.m. (8:00), but now the exam has been changed to 2:00 a.m. (9:30), but Gu Wuyou still gets up very early. On such an exam day, the students In order to seize the time to study, they bring their own food to the academy.

Gu Wuyou asked Bai Lu to prepare a food box for her, as well as some refreshing pills, mint dew, all piled up inside.

Hongshuang is a fool. She still doesn't know about her and Li Qinyuan's affairs. Seeing her in such a battle, she still laughs at her: "The young lady looks like she is going to take the championship."

Gu Wuyou was turning over the food box to see if anything fell, how could she have any intention of answering her words? After the inspection was all done, he was about to go out with his things. When he came to think of something, he stopped again, "Hey, my knee pads."

Almost forgot.

Just as he was about to go in and get it, Bai Lu had already pulled the curtain and came out, handing her a pair of knee pads in his hand, and said angrily, "I knew you forgot."

Gu Wuyou took a look and hurriedly brought it over. She had driven it out in the past few days, because she was afraid that the weather would be cold and the ground would freeze during the exam. The front was covered with a layer of brocade cloth embroidered with plum blossoms. It was a piece of red fox fur brought from Langya. The fur was smooth and warm.

so.

It will never be cold.

She was also chatting with the third brother yesterday, knowing that he almost froze to death when he took the imperial examination before. Although the general is only an ordinary examination this time, and no place for fasting is not a place like a scientific examination, Gu Wuyou is still worried, worried about him Frozen and hungry.

It was the first time to watch a young general prepare for the exam, and Gu Wuyou's mood was indescribably excited.

Putting the knee pads in place, she said to the two maids, "I'm going to the academy." Without waiting for them to speak, she bent her eyes and walked out.

"Go slowly and don't fall."

Bai Lu followed behind and reminded her, she waved without looking back when she saw her, and shook her head helplessly.

"Why does Miss like to go to the academy so much now?" Hong Shuang was a little puzzled, "I had a husband at home before, but Miss refused to go."

Bai Lu glanced at her, saw that she was still innocent, and shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Hong Shuang was puzzled.

"… fine."

This silly child, why did the miss like going to school? It's not because there are people she likes there. She is too lazy to say anything to the miss that is in compliance with the rules. Miss Zuo is really happy now, compared to when she was with Zhao Shizi before. When we were together, he looked like he would cry several times every three days. Although this Young Master Li had a bad reputation, at least he never let the young lady cry.

Do not fast.

The exam is about to come, and a group of people are like cramming. There are other voices too.

Some talked about what food was prepared at home this time, some said what their parents prepared for them, and some talked about where to have fun after the exam.

The young man loves competition a lot, and even the food box he brought is compared to the previous one.

At this time, someone asked Li Qinyuan, "Qilang, what did your family give you?" The boy was also a fool. He had been with Li Qinyuan a few times, and he felt that he was not a vicious person, so he loved to tell him from time to time. Chat for a day.

Obviously, he didn't find this topic very well.

Fu Xian, Jing Yubai and the others who had originally endorsed them all stopped, especially Fu Xian, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips pursed, and the young man also reacted.

Li Qinyuan didn't have a good relationship with his family. He didn't seem to see him bring any food boxes during the exam before.

Of course, it wasn't because no one in the Li family gave it to him, not to mention that his stepmother was always good at work, and even his grandmother always loved him, but he was annoyed and didn't bother to compare with these people. Every time he gave orders in advance, so that they don't have to be sent.

Anyway, every time Fu Xian they would bring more food.

The young man knew that he had said something wrong, his face turned pale, and he said hurriedly, "I, I am not..."

Li Qinyuan didn't put down the book in his hand, turned another page, opened his eyes and said with a faint smile: "It's okay."

"Ah good."

The young man didn't dare to say more, he quickly turned his head and read the book.

Zhao Chengyou just came in, and he didn't say anything when he saw this picture. He used to say a few words when he met Li Qinyuan in the academy. Even if Li Qinyuan ignored him, he would also greet him very politely, but he would say hello to Li Qinyuan. As soon as he left home, he would no longer want to maintain this appearance with Li Qinyuan.

Usually, even if I see it, I pass by, without a word.

Just as he was about to step in, he heard a servant coming behind him and said to Li Qinyuan, "Little Master Li, your family has brought something to you."

Zhao Chengyou took a step at his feet, and he seemed to be aware of it, and glanced at the food box.

And Li Qinyuan, who was looking down at the book originally, raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.

The author has something to say: Qilang: My daughter-in-law gave it, you don't have it.

Fu Xian: …

Jing Yubai:…
