Seeing that at the end of the year, many officials returned to Beijing to report on their duties, and they were faced with some redeployments, it was impossible for Wei Shicheng to do nothing at this critical moment.
Princess Yuanheng nodded, "He first mentioned Jin'er's marriage. I followed Jin'er and talked about you. After all, you are older than Jin'er, so you should worry about your marriage first, so he followed my words. sentence."
"What did you say?"
"He just told me to pick a few that I like first, and then he would help me with my eyes."
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Then you should pick a few first, preferably ones that can be beneficial to the Wei family, but not inconspicuous."
Princess Yuanheng nodded, "Actually, many people in the capital are keeping an eye on your marriage. After all, your second uncle's future lies there, but now you live with me in the Wei Mansion, and many people are watching. "
The two discussed the matter for a while, and then Li Qingyi said something else, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do mother and Jin'er want to go shopping on the street?"
Wei Jin'er was a little hesitant and didn't seem to want to go out.
As far as Li Qingyi knew, she had not seen Wei Shicheng since she was burned.
There must be something difficult to overcome in my heart.
No matter who is ordered by his own father to pour boiling water on his body, he will inevitably be heartbroken.
This kind of harm is probably greater than the physical harm.
It's just that she was hostile to Li Qingyi before, and she was holding on to resentment in her heart, but she seemed to be acting as usual. But then Mu Ying used her to threaten Princess Yuanheng, and Li Qingyi rescued her, and the hatred in her heart gradually dissipated.
Without the support of this hatred, she lost her energy and gradually became taciturn. She did not even go to Heyan Hall on weekdays, and only occasionally went to Jinhua Courtyard to sit.
She was clearly the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the Wei family, but she lived like a transparent person.
Mrs. Wei probably also intended to keep her out of the public eye for a while, and allowed her to stay in the yard and not go out.
The last time Li Qingyi went to the Chonghua Palace of Princess Deqing for a banquet, she probably went with her because she was afraid that something would happen that Li Qingyi couldn't handle alone, but he met a good nobleman and died tragically.
After that, she had nightmares again and again, and she couldn't sleep well at night. She often woke up screaming in fear, and she lost a lot of weight.
Princess Yuanheng talked to her several times but to no avail, so Li Qingyi asked Xie Rao for a soothing prescription for Wei Jin'er to take. The medicine was effective and she could sleep soundly at night. new
Keren just couldn't lift her spirits, and the teenage girl looked like a dying old woman.
Princess Yuanheng asked her, but she just said it was boring and she couldn't get interested in anything she did.
Li Qingyi felt that Wei Jin'er was acting like this because she had no thoughts in her heart, and naturally she had no energy in seeking anything.
So the two decided to take her out for a walk from time to time and meet more people, which might help her get better.
Princess Yuanheng said: "Jin'er, let's go to the Babao Tower and have a look. Don't you like the jewelry there the most?"
Wei Jin'er shook her head, "Mom, I don't go out and dress up for anyone to see. Besides, I have a lot of jewelry, many of which I have never worn before, so I don't want them anymore."
Princess Yuanheng and Li Qingyi looked at each other, a little helpless. Li Qingyi thought for a while and said, "Jin'er, my sister hasn't spent the New Year in the capital yet, and she doesn't even know what fun places there are. Can you go out with your sister for a walk?" ?」
Wei Jin'er looked at Princess Yuanheng, and Li Qingyi pulled her over, "What do you think my mother is doing? She is of a different age than us, so how can she have the same vision as us?"
Wei Jin'er had no reason to refuse, so she could only say: "Then... then I'll go back and change some clothes."
"I'll go back and change my clothes too. We'll meet up at mother's place later!"
Princess Yuanheng smiled and nodded, watching her two daughters go out.
Lingxi brought the clothes over and said, "Don't worry, Princess, the big girl will definitely get better."
Princess Yuanheng sighed, Wei Shicheng was Jin'er's father after all, in the future...
Forget it, let’s talk about the future in the future.
Li Qingyi went to change into a dress that was more convenient for going out, and left Chang Ning in the house to "take care of" Wei Baozhu. He still had Chang Ning with him.
Iris blue.
Mother and daughter reunited again and walked along the Chaoshou Veranda out of Zhuoxiang Courtyard and toward the second gate.
At the other end of the corridor, Wei Shicheng stood by the dark rocks with his hands behind his hands, looking at the backs of the three of them with deep eyes.
At the end of the New Year, the streets are bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, vendors buying New Year's goods and people buying New Year's gifts shouting, asking, and bargaining with each other.
The mother and daughter sat together, and the girls were all driven to the back of the carriage, leaving only Lingxi waiting in front of them.
Princess Yuanheng was telling Li Qingyi about the excitement from New Year's Eve to the 15th, when suddenly there were several hurried screams and the sound of galloping horses' hooves from the front, and then the carriage suddenly pulled to the right and stopped in place. , the three of them collided with the car wall. Fortunately, Wei Jin'er blocked Li Qingyi in time, otherwise she would have hit her head.
Wei Jin'er stroked the back of her hand and let out a "hiss" sound. Li Qingyi quickly pulled her over to take a look and saw that she was actually blushing.
Wei Jin'er shook her head: "I'm fine, who is riding a horse in the city?"
Li Qingyi frowned and lifted the car curtain, only to see a young man wearing a red embroidered silk robe and a jade crown on the broad street, leaving only the back of a horse galloping with a whip.
The black horse was unusually tall and majestic. It was not like the common mounts in Dajing. Just listen to the crackling sound of the whip. Although the streets in the city were wide, they could not handle the large number of people. The horse was so fast that passers-by had to dodge in a panic and even collided with it. They hit the street vendors, their things were scattered all over the floor, and people turned upside down.
Princess Yuanheng didn't see clearly who was riding the horse, so she said displeasedly: "How bold!"
At this time, someone outside the carriage said:
"That black horse has long and strong legs and bright eyes. It is much taller than my horse in Dajing. It seems to have black mane and iron hooves that are only found in the border areas. I heard that General Lei has been guarding the Northland for many years, and it is windy and sandy all year round. The grass and trees are desolate all over the place. Not only are the horses strong and powerful, but the horses are also very steeding. At the beginning of the year, General Lei equipped a group of cavalry carefully trained by his men with this kind of black-maned iron-hoofed horses. It is said that this horse can You can imagine what a divine horse it is when it travels through the wild sands of the Northland."
Hearing the sound, Li Qingyi lifted the carriage curtain and saw a young man in brocade robes standing two steps away from the carriage. He seemed to have avoided the side of the road because of the galloping horses just now.
When the young master in Jinpao saw her looking over, his eyes were stunned for a moment, but the next moment he lowered his eyes and politely bowed his hands.
The boy beside him asked: "Is that man just now General Lei?"
Young Master Jinpao smiled kindly, and did not dislike his young servant's noisiness. He patiently explained: "How could it happen? Old General Lei has been stationed in the border areas all year round. How can he be in Beijing at this time? But I heard that the prince of the General Mansion also got it. Such a fine horse."
Li Qingyi lowered the curtain of the carriage and signaled the coachman to continue moving forward. Then he said, "It seems that the person who was galloping on horseback just now should be the grandson of General Lei."
Wei Jin'er said: "I heard that General Lei followed the late emperor to conquer all directions when he was young. Half of the mountains and rivers of Dajing are the credit of the Lei family, but that was all before the rise of the Mu family."
Princess Yuanheng said regretfully: "Originally, he had a good family background, but unfortunately, Lei Ye was born to be unruly and uninhibited. He has a gangster spirit. To put it bluntly, he is just a dandy who does not do his job properly. Old General Lei has nothing to do with him."
She is "seeing marriage" for Li Qingyi these days, and Lei Ye is one of them.
Although Lei Ye was not her ideal son-in-law, maybe it was Wei Shicheng's?
However, she was more curious about the young man in brocade robes outside the carriage, "Who was that man just now? He had a tight face."
