In late spring in March, the grass grows and orioles fly.
During the Qingming Festival, the sky is still slightly cool, but spring clothes are already on my body.
It rained heavily last night, and the smell of earth and grass remained in the air.
Qingguan opened the window, and there was a thick layer of white on the windowsill, like spring snow. She lowered her head and blew, and the catkins became light.
When Jiang Hongwen came, he broke off a new willow branch and handed it to her, "What will you use for breakfast today?"
Qingguan took Xinliu, looked at that face, and couldn't help but laugh angrily.
Zhao Jingyan left Beijing in April, and this guy came to her house every day to eat and drink, going in and out together. There are rumors in Beijing that the seventh master of the Jiang family obeys his fiancée's words and loves her so much that he really seems to be a different person.
Even the ancestors of the Jiang family couldn't help but joked, "One thing is brought down by another. A person as powerful as Lao Qi was also brought down by Wan Yatou, which shows the word fate."
Only she knew that this guy must have been ordered by someone to watch over her.
To put it well, it is care, but to put it poorly, it is surveillance. Qingguan often gave him a cold face at first, and ordered the maids to chase him away with brooms.
However, this guy imitated Zhao Jingyan's playful and smiling style and didn't care. He rushed today and came back tomorrow; rushed tomorrow and came back the day after.
In the end, even Qingguan himself was tired and could only let him go.
Seeing her smiling but not answering, Jiang Hongwen patted his forehead, pointed at the blue color under his eyes, and said, "Hurry up and get someone to prepare food. Look at me, I stayed up all night again."
Qingguan smiled even more.
One month ago, Emperor Baoqing recovered from his serious illness and officially came to the court to handle government affairs. Jiang Hongwen suddenly appeared in the court because of his rank.
Seeing his serious look in court clothes, the emperor couldn't help but look at him a few more times. After retiring from the court, he summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Finance to question him. Emperor Baoqing was shocked by his performance and gave a few hints.
The old minister went back and thought about it, and immediately handed over many affairs of the Household Department to Jiang Hongwen, which made this guy very exhausted.
When the breakfast was put on the table, Qingguan felt helpless in her heart.
Silver sprout chicken spring rolls, red bean milk parfait, shrimp crystal buns, sesame oil wontons... they are all this guy's favorites.
Jiang Hongwen was obviously very hungry. After a while, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her.
"The Ministry of Revenue will send someone to the army in three days. Do you want to write a reply and I will take him there?"
Qingguan took the letter and stuffed it into his sleeve without reading it, with a glint in his eyes.
After Emperor Baoqing came to the throne, the first thing he did was to manage the payment of the frontier army through a bank. The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were very careful. In the past two months, they actually sent two groups of officials to the army to audit the accounts, fearing that King Shou Dude, something happened.
Qingguan hummed, and suddenly smiled charmingly: "If I say no, you will be disappointed again."
Of course disappointed.
In the fourth month since Tinglin joined the army, four letters were sent to her, but she didn't reply to any of them, and she was extremely cruel.
Thinking of Tinglin waiting eagerly over there, Jiang Hongwen coughed lightly and said: "Qingguan, the soldiers in the army are all rough men. Their food and clothing are extremely poor. Only letters can comfort people's hearts." , look... is it..."
Qingguan smiled again. This guy's words of advice are just these few over and over again. Can there be any new ideas
"Qingguan, think about it again!" Jiang Hongwen was still unwilling to give in.
Gu Qingguan whispered: "If you can avoid quarreling with Songyin, I will consider it."
"this… "
Jiang Hongwen was stunned for a moment, his handsome face was squeezed into a ball, and his expression was very tangled. Chun Ni and Yinzhen who were looking at him were laughing secretly.
Miss Shi and Qi Ye didn't know what was going on. Every time they met, they would either have cold faces or quarrel. There was never any peace. The young lady was caught in the middle, advising this and that, in a dilemma.
"Qingguan, I'm going back today..."
Shi Songyin had just stepped across the threshold. He looked up and saw the slender figure. His pretty face was stern, and his voice gradually became lower and almost inaudible, "Here we come to eat again."
Although her voice was low, Jiang Hongwen could hear her clearly and sneered: "I'm not trying to rub you the wrong way. Do you care?"
"You... are thick-skinned." Shi Songyin blushed and sat down angrily.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
Jiang Hongwen didn't want to meet her in the same way. This woman had such a pretty face for nothing. She was two years older than Gu Liu, and she behaved like a three-year-old child.
Shi Songyin was so angry that her body trembled, "I am a woman and a villain, so what? Do you want to take care of me?"
"Stop it!"
Gu Qingguan had a headache due to the quarrel. He put down his chopsticks and said, "What grudges and grievances do you two have? Can't you just talk to each other?"
"Qingguan, I'm full and I'll wait for you outside." Jiang Hongwen stood up with a sneer and walked away.
"Qingguan, look at him..." Shi Songyin became even more angry when she saw him leaving, her eyes spinning in her sockets.
Qingguan wanted to persuade her, but she swallowed her words and said softly, "Are you going back to live?"
Shi Songyin wiped away her tears and said, "Well, it's almost Qingming Festival. My eldest brother and I are going back to our hometown to worship our ancestors, so I'm afraid we have to leave."
Shi Lei had finished his errands outside and returned to Beijing years ago. Counting the days, he had not returned to the south for nearly a year.
Qingguan thought for a moment and said, "Well, you go back first. I'll come over to see my second brother in the evening. I have something to ask him!"
"What's going on?" Shi Songyin was curious.
Qingguan's face darkened and she was silent for a long time before she said, "I want my mother's grave to be moved away from the Gu family."
Shi Songyin was shocked.
Leave the house.
Jiang Hongwen was already waiting in front of the carriage. When he saw Qingguan coming out, he smiled lightly and lifted the curtain himself to help her get into the carriage.
After driving for a while, Jiang Hongwen said: "The border army has a huge amount of money, and I can't decide how to operate it. I made an appointment with Shi Lei tonight, and you will come together."
"Where is the meeting?"
"Historical Courtyard!"
Qingguan smiled and said, "I was about to go there, but it was a coincidence."
Jiang Hongwen was slightly startled, "That's it, it's settled, I'll go first on horseback."
"Hongwen!" Qingguan called out.
Jiang Hongwen looked back, "What happened?"
"What's going on between you and Songyin?"
Jiang Hongwen frowned, "I remember you asked this before."
Gu Qingwan shrugged. So what, you can’t ask again after you’ve asked
Jiang Hongwen sighed longly: "Maybe it's because the eight characters don't match."
The excuse of incompatibility was also used, and Gu Qingguan looked at him with some contempt.
Jiang Hongwen turned his face, stopped smiling, and said seriously: "Qing Guan, I like women from aristocratic families who are chaste, quiet, virtuous, and methodical in their movements. I don't like the kind of women who are messy and have a petty temper at every turn."
He never thought that Jiang Qiye, the most unruly man, should be the most well-behaved woman in the world. Now, it was Gu Qingguan's turn to be stunned. After being away for a long time, he relaxed.
She laughed to herself, took out the letter from her sleeve, and unfolded it leisurely.
Zhao Jingyan's handwriting is different from his. It is majestic and natural, and it is actually a good calligraphy. Qingwan was very surprised when they first met.
Her eyes swept slowly from top to bottom, and when she read the last few sentences, her breathing became a little unsteady.
"The cold night is lonely, the spring is slightly cold, I look at the capital alone, there is beauty in the capital, the beauty of the country, it confuses all living beings, and I am crazy about it.
The old hatred at the end of the world, try to see how much it disappears. Everywhere in my heart is even more desolate. It’s been a year since we’ve seen each other again! "
This guy... this guy... what he wrote is neither consistent nor neat.
Gu Qingguan threw the letter away in annoyance, his head buzzing. This letter came from the army and passed through many hands. If others saw it, he would be embarrassed to death.
It has been four months, one letter every month, no sooner or later. It was beyond her expectation to be so shameless. I really underestimated his determination.
Qingguan then thought about it, how could the ruthless person among the golden ones and the defeated ones be an ordinary person.
Since he had made up his mind and would not look back until he hit the wall, he could only let him go.
After a while, the hospital has arrived.
Qingguan managed to calm down, took a deep breath, folded the letter, stuffed it into her sleeve and got out of the car. As soon as she stood still, she heard someone calling her.
"Gu Qingwan!" Liu Zhaoyu blocked the way with a smile.
Qingguan looked around and said with a faint smile, "What's the matter?"
Liu Zhaoyu said: "Wang Xiuyi summoned you and me to the palace to ask for pulse."
Wang Xiuyi? Gu Qingwan frowned. Liu Zhaoyu knew that she had never heard of Wang Xiuyi's name, so she hurriedly explained: "She is from the Wang family in Henan, and is somewhat distantly related to my family. She has been in the palace for ten years and has not given birth to a son or a half. Her bloodline has always been from I invited you. The last time she mentioned your name, I patted my chest.
Gu Qingwan, if you are willing to go, I will treat you to delicious food at Zuixianju later. "
Qingwan just smiled.
The concubines in the palace had doctors they knew well when asking for pulse. Wang Xiuyi asked her suddenly because he was worried that he had something to ask for.
"Tell me, what else do you want, I will agree to it." Seeing her silence, Liu Zhaoyu gritted his teeth and said.
Qing Guan slowly raised his steps and said, both truthfully and falsely: "Bring me a jar of your Liu family's medicinal wine. I want to have a taste."
Liu's Medicinal Wine is very famous in Kaifeng area. It is said that after entering the ninth grade, if you take the medicinal wine for 7749 days, you will not even get sick in the coming year.
Liu Zhaoyu laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? If we become a couple, we will give you two gifts."
Seeing how happy he was, Gu Qingguan changed the subject and said, "Deal!"
Liu Zhaoyu's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he hugged his fists towards Qingguan and said, "If you ever need me in the future, just ask, you're welcome!"
"Of course you won't be polite."
Yinzhen and others left, came forward and said: "Miss is now taking pulse in front of the emperor, and everyone is watching her every move. Here, Wang Xiuyi is diagnosing pulse, and then there is Li Meiren, and there is Gu Baolin... How? Can handle it.”
Ye Qing nodded with approval, "Miss, Yinzhen is right." Qingguan walked slowly, took two steps, turned back, and said in a low voice: "As soon as Zhang Hua falls, Tang Han will be sentenced by the court." After being promoted to the head of the hospital, the original queen's people turned against each other, and the imperial hospital became the domain of imperial concubines. It was rare that this Liu Zhaoyu was not a mere follower, who did not flatter others and did not accept those who were superior.
I want to win over people like this. "
"Doctor Liu and the young lady have always been on good terms, so why do we need to win over them?"
Qing Wan glanced at Ye Qing angrily and said with a smile: "What goes around comes around. He owes me a lot of favors. It will be difficult not to pay them back in the future!" Ye Qing was slightly startled when he heard this.
