Yuan Qingling is aware of the current embarrassing situation in the Hou Mansion.
In the past few years, the Hou Mansion has not produced any powerful people. My father spent a lot of money to protect the position of minister in the East and the West. Every time he was evaluated by the officials, he had to ask someone to go through the back door through connections, otherwise he would have been dismissed long ago.
At the beginning of this year, the Emperor criticized certain yamen by name, saying that some officials were eating nothing but waiting to die. This year's assessment is to deal with these people.
After waiting quietly, he naturally clicked into his seat. He knew that he was such a person.
A person whose heart is as high as the sky and whose talent is as thin as a piece of paper always sighs and refuses to talk to me about his talents. In fact, he knows it best in his heart.
He just doesn't have the ability.
He didn't even have the ability to hug someone's thighs, so he could only win over courtiers by marrying off daughters in an attempt to secure his position.
He always said that he wanted to aspire to the position of Minister, but in fact, he knew in his heart that it would be good to keep the position of Minister.
He knew it, everyone in the mansion knew it, even Yuan Qingping knew it.
That's why she said that she couldn't be worthy of Gu Si. This was not belittlement, it was true self-awareness.
Yuan Qingling's heart was soft and fragile, and she couldn't bear to hear these things.
Sighing softly, "Forget it, let's talk about this later."
"Don't worry about me, I'm ready." Yuan Qing smiled, "Actually, it's not that bad. There are still many people who envy Xiaolan. With her family background, she can marry
To the great bachelor, this is like smoke rising from the ancestral graves."
Yuan Qingping's last words could not suppress the irony.
Yuan Qingling felt the turbid air coming up from her chest again. She frowned and couldn't help but run to the spittoon and vomited.
Yuan Qingping was startled and quickly opened the door and asked someone to come in. She ran over and swept Yuan Qingling's back.
"It's okay, it's okay, vomiting is normal." After Yuan Qingling finished vomiting, she comforted her with a white face.
Aunt Xi actually heard them talking outside, so she quietly pulled Yuan Qingping aside and said, "Then if Xiaolan comes, it's better not to let the princess see her."
Yuan Qingping nodded, "I understand, I will take her outside to talk and then let her go."
She remembered that she was a little reckless, so how could she ask Xiaolan to come?
The eldest sister knows Xiaolan. How can Xiaolan be the stepmother of a group of court officials with her temperament? She is not as good as herself.
After Yuan Qingling finished vomiting, she fell asleep for a while.
After waking up, Green Ya came in to wait on me.
"Where's the second young lady?" Yuan Qingling asked. She didn't get up either. She was lying on the bed, feeling that the discomfort from the previous few days had returned.
"The second young lady is in the front yard, talking to someone." Lu Ya said.
Yuan Qingling remembered that she had invited Xiaolan to come over before, so it was probably Xiaolan who came.
She sat up slowly and said, "Go and invite the second lady and her friends in."
Lu Ya was startled for a moment, then she remembered that Aunt Xi had ordered not to tell the princess that someone was coming.
"Go!" Yuan Qing Ling said.
The green buds have to go out.
After leaving the door, Grandma Xi came in with sour plum soup and asked: "Are you awake?"
Luya said with a guilty conscience: "Wake up, the princess said she wants to see the second young lady and that girl Xiaolan."
Aunt Xi glared at her, "Talk too much!"
Luya lowered her head, "I know I was wrong."
Aunt Xi said: "Since the princess wants to see you, go and spread the news."
The green buds responded and left.
Aunt Xi came in with sour plum soup. Yuan Qingling was thirsty and drank half the bowl in one go. The sour taste made her stomach feel comfortable immediately.
"Why do I love sour food so much?" Yuan Qing Ling said with a smile.
Auntie Xi also smiled, "Such a hot girl, this baby will definitely be the heir apparent."
Yuan Qing Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are the prince or the princess, as long as you are safe."
"Yes, it's good to be safe." Aunt Xi said.
After a while, Yuan Qingping came in leading a cute little girl with a round face.
She timidly followed Yuan Qingping, her eyes peeked and then quickly lowered, like a little rabbit.
"See you, Princess!" Xiaolan stepped forward timidly and saluted.
Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "Xiaolan, why are you separated from me? Sit down quickly!"
She still has great memories and feelings about this girl, which shows that the original owner also liked this girl.
When Xiaolan saw Yuan Qing's gentle face, she immediately smiled, showing two tiger teeth, which was particularly cute.
"Sister Ling!" Xiaolan shouted.
Yuan Qingling fell in love with this girl immediately.
It's not the sense of familiarity with the original owner, but the fact that this girl can see everything at a glance, she is very real and innocent.
However, seeing her being so innocent yet marrying a bad old man made Yuan Qingling feel uncomfortable. After a few words with Xiaolan, she asked Yuan Qingping to take her down.
However, as soon as Xiaolan walked out, she turned back and asked Yuan Qingling, "Sister Ling, can I stay in the palace for one day? Just for one day. I won't run around, so I will stay with Sister Ping."
Yuan Qingping said: "No, my brother-in-law doesn't allow outsiders to come. After I go back, you can come and live in the Marquis' Mansion."
Xiaolan said oh, but it was obvious that she was a little disappointed.
Yuan Qingling saw this and said, "Then let her stay for a day, or she can talk to you."
Xiaolan suddenly became happy and said, "Thank you, Sister Ling."
Yuan Qingling asked Lu Ya to arrange a place for her, but there was no need to make any arrangements, just stay together with Yuan Qing.
After Luya came back, she said to Aunt Xi: "This Miss Xiaolan asked the maid to bring her clothes. Does she know that she can live here?"
Aunt Xi said: "The second young lady should have made a promise to her earlier. It won't be a problem to stay here for just one day, so she can always stay in front of the princess."
A simple girl with an uncomplicated family background should not be in trouble.
When Yu Wenhao came back in the evening, Yuan Qingling told him that he would keep an old little sister at home for a day.
Yu Wenhao said: "You can stay if you like, it doesn't matter, but you can't let her disturb you to rest."
"No, she's playing with Yuan Qingping. By the way, her father works in Jingzhao Mansion, and she's about to marry Grand Bachelor Wu." Yuan Qingling said.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "Master Wu? Are you almost eighty?"
"Sixty-two." Yuan Qingling's face turned pale, "Are you as old as eighty?"
"Who knows how old he is? He looks like an old man, but he still marries a young girl at this age? Doesn't that mean that if he marries someone, he will be left a widow?" After Yu Wenhao finished speaking, he glanced at her lips and chest. He was now
I understand this feeling very well.
Yuan Qing laughed and scolded: "What's your look?"
"Isn't it okay to look at it?" Yu Wenhao was unconvinced. He couldn't move and was not allowed to look at it?
Yuan Qingling, who can't move but can only be fierce, still looks... looking at her pitifully thin face, she is still so cute that it makes people feel sad.
He rubbed her face melancholy, "You need to eat more. How can you be so thin? The strong wind will blow you away."
"When you talk about that troublesome old man thing, why does it bring up the matter of whether I eat too much or not? When I talk about eating, I feel worried. I want to eat, but I can eat it?" The little monster in Yuan Qingling's heart
He's about to be released again.
"I'll go back to the palace and ask the emperor's grandfather for a bowl of soup. You drank it before and you felt good for a few days." Yu Wenhao said.
