(Twenty-eight)
It is fate to learn from Taixue.
In the fourth year of Yuanyou's reign, Li Gefei sought a position in Beijing and also studied as an official.
However, the eldest son of the Qin family has gone further than most people on his journey to becoming an official.
…
With the Qin family in peace, Sunge set off and left Jiangning.
"Hebei West Road, Xiangzhou, is there any news?"
She originally planned to go to Tangyin County in Xiangzhou in person, but according to her sister's letter, something happened in Beijing, the political arena was turbulent, Cai Jing was overthrown, and Zhao Mingcheng had the opportunity to return to his official career.
So, after the couple discussed it, Li Qingzhao decided to respect Zhao Mingcheng's decision and let him pursue his official career.
Before his search for an official position failed, Li Qingzhao stayed alone in Qingzhou.
This letter disrupted Sunge's plan, so he skipped the trip to Xiangzhou and sent someone to inquire.
"Calculating the time, it should be soon."
"When we return to Qingzhou, the reply will be there in no time."
Under Sunge's training, Aunt Ning has long been able to take charge of herself.
"Madam, please stop worrying."
Aunt Ning was nagging while closing the window,
Huizhi had just entered the official position and had a fair temperament. I thought that my wife would return to her ancestral home to retire in peace.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was worried, and his wife's attention was drawn to Tangyin County in Xiangzhou.
Sunge's eyes were smiling, perhaps because he was getting older and knew his destiny, and he looked vaguely compassionate.
"Ning Xi, who is older between you and me?"
"Such a verbose person would be a good match for me to be an old lady, but it's a pity that I'm useless and can't become an official to seek a royal title for you."
Even her own third-class ladies were smashed down with silver.
"Madam is teasing me again."
"You have given me enough."
Aunt Ning sat beside Sunge, recalling the past.
When she was young, Madam was generous, tolerant and free, making her the most wanton and heroic aunt in Bianliang City.
She has things that others have, and things that others don’t have.
Later, something happened in the house, and Madam was like a needle in the sea, so she didn't suffer even the slightest injustice.
The master passed away, and his wife took pity on her lack of knowledge and took her to travel around the mountains and rivers.
She has worn the most exquisite hairpins, worn the most gorgeous clothes, and seen the most spectacular mountains and rivers.
Why is Madam useless? It was clearly Madam who introduced her to a new world.
Since the master passed away, the lady rarely calls her aunt.
When they were alone in private, they called her Ning Xi.
In front of outsiders, call her Ning Niangzi.
In Madam's eyes, she is not the master's subordinate.
"Maybe I'm getting older, and I always think of the scene when I first met my wife more than ten or twenty years ago."
"To be honest, madam, I had already prepared the worst plan in my mind at that time."
"As long as it is not sold and transferred, I will set up a small Buddhist hall in the side courtyard, with the ancient green lantern Buddha, and stay closed."
Aunt Ning's voice was neither fast nor slow, gentle and soft, and she briefly told her thoughts at that time.
But he never thought that her wife was a very kind person. She had pampered her as a daughter for so many years and taught her step by step the ability of a woman to stand in the world.
Sunge raised his eyebrows, "You are in your early twenties and you are the same age as the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha?"
When she first met Ning Xi, she felt that she was a lovely person.
Over the past two decades, facts have proven that her judgment was correct.
Ning Xi nodded and smiled gently, "Madam, I don't know. Most of the concubines in Bianliang City have no right to make choices."
"If the master is happy, he will get some rewards and spend his whole life relying on pampering."
"If the master is tired of it, it will either be sent to Zhuangzi or transferred to someone else."
"It is not a big deal for officials and military generals to send concubines to each other among men of letters."
"Ning Xi is lucky to meet Madam."
Ning Xi rambled on for a long time, her voice lowering little by little, until she heard the even breathing sound beside her.
Being able to accompany my wife for more than ten years is truly a blessing for her.
It will be another month before Sunge and Aunt Ning arrive in Qingzhou.
Ten years, so much has changed.
The moment he saw Sun Ge, Li Qingzhao's eyes brimmed with water.
Her mother-in-law had gray hair on her temples, and deep and shallow frown lines on her face and forehead.
Obviously, the mother-in-law who smashed her forehead into a wall is still vivid in my memory.
"Auntie."
Like in the past, Li Qingzhao rested his head on Sun Ge's shoulder.
However, it is inevitable that things will change and people will change.
Sunge's figure is getting thinner and thinner, and taking care of her sister is no longer what it used to be.
"How old are you and you still cry?"
"Are you ashamed?"
Feeling the wetness coming from her shoulders, Sunge joked softly.
It's just that her time is not far away, and she won't die soon.
After rubbing Li Qingzhao's head, Sun Ge continued, "Aniang thought you would accompany Mingcheng to Laizhou."
"He asked his daughter for her opinion, but I refused."
"First of all, I can't find a suitable person to help take care of the gold and stone collection in the Return Hall."
"Secondly, I want to spend some time with my grandma, and Brother Hao also sent me a letter, saying that he will be home soon."
Although the Zhao family was famous for a while, after all, people left and the tea was cold.
The trip to Laizhou will not go well.
If she goes there, not only will she not be able to help, she will become a drag.
In addition, it had been a long time since she had fulfilled her filial piety at the knees of her mother-in-law.
"Since you and Mingcheng got married, we have never been separated."
"Now that the two places are separated, do you have any fear in your heart?" Sun Ge thought of what was about to happen in the plot and couldn't help but frown.
The biggest constant in the world is the fickleness of human hearts.
Li Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "This has nothing to do with whether his daughter believes in him."
"My daughter's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy in this life have never been pinned on Mingcheng. My daughter has him, but she also has poems, epigraphs, and travel notes."
"There are so many gorgeous things in life that are worth showing off for."
"We have been together for many years. It is a decision and choice made by both of us."
"If he wanted to make another choice, his daughter would not feel sorry for herself, feel resentful and resentful."
Sunge frowned and nodded.
Instead of worrying about whether Zhao Mingcheng, who is far away in Laizhou, will renege on what he once said, it is better to work hard to live a good life.
Men have official positions, careers, and ideals in their lives, and women should also have a fulfilling life, rather than indulge in love entanglements, as if they can't live without a little love.
Sunge couldn't help but yawned again. Well, she was sleepy again.
As promised, old people feel young.
But why does she get sleepy every now and then?
I’m so annoyed that I haven’t had a good look at Qingzhou, and I haven’t had a good chat about the ten years I spent in Qingzhou.
Feeling sleepy, Sun Ge fell asleep again.
Li Qingzhao looked worried, "Auntie, has your body been examined by a doctor?"
"In Jiangning, I asked a famous local doctor to diagnose my wife's pulse. The doctor said that my wife is in good health." Aunt Ning answered honestly.
To be honest, she once suspected that the doctor had a false reputation.
But except for sleeping, everything is as before.
Maybe, it's really just old.
old……
Thinking of this word, Aunt Ning's heart felt heavy.
