When Qiu Jinglan left the Li family, she was both happy and helpless.
What's gratifying is that Li Zhen really doesn't have any feelings for Jiang Huiying - he really only regards this princess as his sister. With Qiu Jinglan's ability to observe words and emotions, she confirmed that this nephew was telling the truth: "This boy is also a piano student and gentle. He never blames anyone for his body. He seems to be very reasonable. But in fact..."
In fact, Li Zhen is not as open-minded as he seems.
After all, "Although the Li family is not a famous family in the world, it has gone through several dynasties and still maintained the lintel of an official family. As the only son, Li Geng is also the nephew of the current queen and the prince, and he is very important. Being favored, with such a background, he is considered to be talented and beautiful, but he is not in good health. He is afraid that his parents will be sad, so he covers his face tightly and does not show it at all. How can he not feel a little resentful in his heart? "
So now he has no mind to think about feelings or not. What he cares about is his body: How long can he last? Is there any hope of recovery? If it really doesn't get better, what should the parents do? !
... He really couldn't spare any extra thought to figure out the beautiful and noble princess cousin.
This can be seen from the fact that he calls Jiang Huiying "Cousin Wu'an" instead of "Cousin Ying".
So Qiu Jinglan is quite satisfied with the purpose of this trip - it's much easier to break up a wishful thinking than a mutual love!
There are two things he is helpless about: one is that Li Gen's health has never been cured. The child has been living until now, and his life is not comfortable at all. He has shown some pessimism. This makes Qiu Jinglan feel uncomfortable. It also felt ominous; the other thing was that Li Zhen hinted that Jiang Huiying confessed to him, and he clearly rejected it, but the cousin seemed not to give up, thinking that he refused because he was afraid of dragging her down...
If it were anyone else, even if it were her biological sister Queen Qiu when she was a girl, Qiu Jinglan would definitely tell her happily: "The one you like doesn't like you at all. He's not afraid that he's not good enough for you or that he's dragging you down or something." , so be patient and refuse! People just don’t like you, so stop lying to yourself!”
But Jiang Huiying...
This niece has never heard a harsh word. Does this seem too cruel
Qiu Jinglan thought about it all the way, and only came up with an idea after returning home. She told Ou Qinglan about her trip and said, "Tomorrow, make an appointment with Meixue to visit the house. I have something to entrust to her."
The next day, Mei Xue came as promised and asked with a smile: "What orders do you have, young master?"
"All these years have passed, and the past has faded away like the wind. Do you still think about Sister Mei?" Qiu Jinglan muttered, "I remember that the doctor who used to nurse me back to the south is still there?"
Mei Xue said clearly: "Young Master Li?" She shook her head, "Although the doctor is still there, the conditioning methods he is good at are not good at dealing with congenital deficiencies. Otherwise, even if I have no feelings for Ruan Ciyi, in order to make money The Li family would not have recommended him to come to Beijing as early as possible."
"I know." Qiu Jinglan explained, "I went to Li's house today to see Ji'er, and the child's mood seems to have begun to be affected by his body. I think if I keep asking him to go to Beijing, sooner or later he will not be able to survive. Stay. It might be better to persuade him to walk around and express his depression through the scenery."
He himself is very experienced in emotional depression. "When I was in the south, I often went to the beach to have fun. I wanted to see the vastness of the sea and feel comfortable in my eyes."
His words came from the bottom of his heart, and they were not all meant to get rid of Li Xi. At Li Xi's age, out of filial piety to his parents, he had been hiding his fear and worry about his illness until now, which was already very difficult.
If he continues to hold on, he will either vent his anger and turn from gentle and despairing to hysterical; or his depression will aggravate his condition too much. It won't be a good thing anyway.
Mei Xue didn't know Jiang Huiying's entrustment. She only said that he was purely considering her nephew. She smiled and said: "Are you afraid that he will be tired from the journey and get sick, so you want the doctor to accompany you?"
"good!"
"I'll fix the book when I get back!" Mei Xue agreed.
Qiu Jinglan nodded: "I'll have someone send you the required fees when you return!"
He made peace with Mei Xue, and then asked Ou Qinglan to send someone to Li's house to explain to Ruan Ciyi privately: "Last time Chunjun came to see Zi'er, didn't he talk to Zi'er alone? Did Zi'er tell you later? "
Ruan Ciyi was surprised and said: "No - what did you say?"
Ou Qinglan knew that when her husband left at that time, he made an appointment with Li Zhen and told no one about it. Now that he had confirmed it, he said Qiu Jinglan's suggestion with confidence: "This child is in his youth, but because he is not very happy, he can only stay at home all day long. How can he not be bored? Chunjun looked at him and thought When I was a teenager, I remembered that time when he couldn't bear it anymore and ran to see the mountains and the sea, and his mood calmed down after seeing it. "I wonder if my sister should try this method?"
Ruan Ciyi didn't know much about Qiu Jinglan's experience in the south, but she also knew that Qiu Jinglan was on the gold medal list at the age of nineteen. Even though she was talented and intelligent, the hard work she put in was beyond what ordinary people could imagine - besides, Qiu Jinglan was still Not only can he read, he is also good at martial arts and knows a little bit about acrobatics. How could he do these things without spending time and effort to learn them
So I was very tempted by this suggestion: "Really? To be honest with my brothers and sisters, I also feel that Zi'er is not in a good mood these days. It's just that this child is filial and doesn't show it at all in front of me and his father. To prevent him from worrying, we Often I can only pretend to be confused. If it can really make him feel better, that would be great!"
He was also a little worried, "But he is not in good health to begin with, and Beijing is not close to the sea! If he is exhausted due to such a long journey, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"
"Chunjun thought so too, so after I went back that day, I have been looking for a suitable doctor." Ou Qinglan said, "The one I am looking for now is coming from the south. He is the person who nursed him back when he was a boy. According to him, Very good. Of course, he didn't know if it was suitable for Zier, so he asked me to tell my sister: Come over and give Zier some time when he arrives. If it's good, then find someone else! "
Reminder, "But even if you don't go out and just walk around in the garden, it's good to ask Zhen'er to go out for a walk every day! How many young people like to hide in the house all day long? They must be depressed when they are kept in isolation!"
Ruan Ciyi sent her out with great gratitude.
After returning home, Ou Qinglan felt extremely guilty: "Does this count as aiding the tyrants in deceiving my nephew out of the capital?"
Then he asked uneasily, "Can the doctor really make Zi'er energetic enough to walk around? What if, I mean just in case, Zi'er's health is not good to begin with. If something happens to me because of my separation from Beijing, I will I’ll have a bad conscience in this life!”
Qiu Jinglan scratched the tip of her nose and smiled: "Although I am ruthless, I still have a conscience towards my own people. Not to mention my descendants by blood?"
Ou Qinglan said anxiously: "I hope both children will be fine!"
She has already told Ruan Ciyi. Ruan Ciyi is looking forward to the next step. She can't tell her again. In fact, the whole purpose of this matter is to make Li Zhen go away so that Jiang Huiying can't see him often. It's over. The little girl has lost her mind and doesn’t want to marry her cousin who is in poor health. Then we, as a couple, can rest assured that our mission has been completed
So after the doctor was taken to the capital, he stayed in Li Mansion. Although he treated Li Xian well, after Li Qian became an official and left the capital with his wife and children to go sightseeing, Ou Qinglan still felt guilty and couldn't help it. Nervously paying attention to their schedule and Li Gen's health.
... Regarding the sudden departure of Li Zhen's family from the capital, Qiu Jinglan of course had to give an explanation to his niece. This naturally did not trouble him: "Actually, what makes Yinger difficult for you is one thing: Zhen'er's health is not very good! I have to let him be in good health. Damn it, if you mention this to your father, the emperor, and your queen, they will definitely not agree to it, right?"
"So my uncle specially sent for a famous doctor from the south. Although the famous doctor was not sure of curing Xi'er directly, he suggested that he could improve his state of mind by visiting famous mountains and rivers, so that the disease could be cured without medicine! Isn't this what you and Aunt Ruan are saying? Uncle Li was so happy when he heard the news that he just took him on the trip without doing anything else!"
Qiu Jinglan vowed, "When they leave, it can take as short as one or two years, as long as three to five years. There will be good news! Anyway, you are not at the age where you have to be brought down. With your father, the emperor and the empress treating you Is there anything wrong with you delaying it for three or two years? Even if Zi'er has not recovered in three or two years, she will definitely have improved significantly! When the time comes, you will have nothing to say in front of your father, the Queen, and your mother."
Jiang Huiying originally came to her uncle full of resentment to argue, but he nodded confusedly: "Uncle, thank you for your hard work! You also specially found a famous doctor from the south..."
"As long as Ying'er likes it, what does it matter?" Qiu Jinglan said kindly, "So Ying'er, don't worry - but later, when your father, the emperor and your mother recommend you a prince-in-law, you can't refuse it too much! Not only do you have to go and see, You have to look carefully! Otherwise, with their shrewdness, it won’t be difficult to spot the clues!”
Jiang Huiying suddenly became solemn: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely obey your orders! Then I will say that the candidate for the prince-in-law is not as good as I thought after careful inspection!"
"That's right!" Qiu Jinglan praised, "Yinger is so good, she should be picky! If you are not picky, your current status, talent and appearance will be in vain!"
The sinister uncle smiled calmly in his heart: "Before, you used to go to Li's house to see your aunt every three days and watch Zi'er playing the piano. Of course you will never forget him! Now that Zi'er is gone, who knows how long it will take to come back? I haven't seen him yet. , but the talented people in Beijing are pushing forward, are you afraid that you haven’t forgotten about Xi’er and taken a fancy to the newcomer?”
Especially from his point of view, Li Gen is good, but compared with many candidates for Prince Consort, he is only in the middle of the pack. "Ying'er is still too good, and she doesn't see many foreign men! It's not like her mother back then, although she didn't meet either She has had several foreign men, but her husband is top-notch in terms of talent and appearance!"
Of course, Jiang Huiying’s stubbornness must also be considered!
However, although Qiu Jinglan didn't want her niece to be harmed, she wasn't a person who always wanted to take action - when he was disciplining Queen Qiu, he was very violent!
So if Jiang Huiying still misses her repairman cousin half a year later, Qiu Jinglan decides to go to her niece to confess: "When your cousin Li was traveling outside, he accidentally met a girl and made a private contract for life... "
Jiang Huiying is indeed a girl. After Li Gen's family left Beijing, she felt lost for a few days. In order to pretend that nothing was wrong, Queen Qiu led her to look at many candidates, and she felt... : "A certain young master... seems to be more handsome and charming than my cousin?"
Qiu Jinglan, who was once again pulled to a quiet place by her niece, happily thought about words such as "Obviously, Yinger, you didn't really fall in love with your cousin at the beginning. You were just too young to understand the difference between appreciation and admiration." As a result, Jiang Huiying twisted her sleeves and didn't dare to raise her head and said: "Uncle, I now feel that I didn't like my cousin at the beginning. In fact, I just admired my cousin's gentlemanly bearing... "
Um
Was your line stolen
It's okay, I just wanted to praise my niece for being sensible. Before Qiu Jinglan could say anything, she heard Jiang Huiying continue, "Now I feel that I really like a certain young master! But uncle, that so-and-so My son seems to have a problem. My father, the emperor, and my mother will definitely not agree to my descent... What should I do?"
"..." Qiu Jinglan silently stroked her forehead and swallowed her tears, "Say! Uncle will solve it for you!"
-Does he owe his sister too much, so he needs to break his heart to his niece who is obviously well-behaved and sensible? Or is he unethical when he broke up the marriage between the emperor and the empress, and now he is rushing around to clear up the peach blossom debt for his niece? ! ! !
