Chapter 48: Go to Chang'an and see Manchu civil and military again
In the green pavilion, Ling Shiqing turned around and looked at Ling Yuanzhou, then looked at the slightly rippling lake, with a vague smile on her lips, and said softly: "Is that person gone?"
"I haven't left yet."
Ling Yuanzhou was neither standing nor sitting, so he replied with a somewhat awkward posture.
"I haven't left yet, why are you staying here? Since you don't want to marry me, why are you staying here to make me laugh?" Ling Shiqing put her legs together and patted the big bear Banban beside her. Banban looked at Ling
After the poem, he very wisely took the bamboo in his hand, twisted his butt and walked towards the bamboo forest next to the bamboo pavilion.
After Ling Yuanzhou saw Banban leaving, he took a step forward and sat on the bench next to Ling Shiqing. Then he frowned and asked, "Why are you wearing these clothes again? Didn't I tell you to wear less clothes? You
How do you think you look decent dressed like this?"
When Ling Shiqing heard this, she glanced at Ling Yuanzhou indifferently. Ling Yuanzhou immediately closed his mouth and smiled at his daughter.
"Is this why you came to see me?" Ling Shiqing looked at Ling Yuanzhou calmly and asked.
"Of course not, I just wanted to come over and see how you were doing." Ling Yuanzhou replied with a smile.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
"It's good." Ling Yuanzhou patted the dust on his body, then stood up and walked to Ling Shiqing's side and said softly: "Actually, the first time I saw this person, I knew that he was not an ordinary person, so I didn't
I don’t think much of you two.”
"I didn't expect it either, but the hydrangea hit him on the head." Ling Shiqing's voice was still very calm.
Ling Yuanzhou nodded slightly, and then continued: "If you can let go of this matter, that would be the best, but if you can't let it go."
"What if you can't let go?" Ling Shiqing turned her head and asked softly.
"I couldn't let him go, so I kept that boy, but my daughter's coercion is not sweet, not to mention that he already has someone else in his heart. If we forcefully join this marriage line, I'm afraid the future will not be easy.
"
"I don't have any intention of marrying him. It's just that I, Ling Shi, have such a great love life and have never been so disliked by others, so it is inevitable that I feel a little unfair. But just now I have given up the idea of marrying him. I haven't
For the sake of not being able to get married, even if I can't get married, I won't wrong myself. You are the city lord, so it's not a problem to support a little girl like me, right?" Ling Shiqing turned to look at Ling Yuanzhou and whispered.
"Haha, this is definitely not a problem." Ling Yuanzhou stroked his beard and smiled. Hearing his daughter's words, Ling Yuanzhou felt relieved a lot. After all, he had been worried about Ling Shiqing's inability to let go of this matter, and what was wrong with him in the end.
, that’s not worth it.
Ling Shiqing looked at Ling Yuanzhou, then pursed her red lips and whispered: "Dad, I want to go to Shentian Sect to learn martial arts."
Ling Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a slightly unhappy face: "Why are you still thinking about this matter after such a long time?"
"Dad, just agree to it this time! If I come back from martial arts training, I don't have to be afraid of that He Zi'ang. Besides, now that everyone in Le'an City knows that I, Ling Shiqing, am a woman who can't get married, I also
I don’t have the shame to stay in Le’an City anymore.”
"But the world is dangerous. How can you, a girl, just break into it?" Ling Yuanzhou retorted quickly.
"Are there not enough chivalrous women in the world? Aren't all the living Bodhisattvas in Yuming Mountain women?" Ling Shiqing asked, unwilling to be outdone.
"you……"
Ling Yuanzhou looked at Ling Shiqing and sighed helplessly, and then ran out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, saying as he walked: "Don't even think about this. I would rather you never get married in this life, and I won't either."
Let you go out."
Ling Shiqing looked at Ling Yuanzhou's back without saying a word or trying to hold him back.
…
After Mingleyou and Ming Yongshou returned home, Mingleyou saluted his grandfather, then turned around and ran to his study, thinking about finishing the unfinished "Qitian"
After reading "Essential Techniques".
"Leyou, come with me."
Ming Yongshou shouted softly, and then he ran to the side room next to the study with his hands behind his back. Ming Leyou stood there stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed. You must know that this room in the Ming family is
Except for Ming Yongshou, no one can enter, not even his own father, so Ming Ming
Leyou has always been curious about what kind of treasure is inside this house. Grandpa made it so mysterious, but no matter how curious he was, Mingleyou never sneaked in secretly. Even if the door was unlocked, Mingleyou had no idea of going in.
, Grandpa said no one is allowed in, that means no one is allowed in. Being obedient is a small matter, but obedience is a big deal.
Ming Yongshou slowly opened the door, fanned the dust in front of him, and walked in with a smile. Mingleyou also walked in quickly. After entering, Mingleyou looked a little disappointed, because of this
There seemed to be no treasures in the house. Instead, there were just a pile of dusty books and folders.
"Grandpa, why are you calling Leyou?" Mingleyou looked around the room and asked slowly.
"Do you know what this is?" Ming Yongshou asked, pointing to the folding paper on the table.
"I don't know." Mingleyou shook his head slightly.
"This is a note I wrote for the late Emperor when I was young but did not send it out in the end." Ming Yongshou replied lightly, and then continued: "Back then, I was also an ambitious young man with a big burden of saving the country and the people. It's a pity that in the end,
The great ambition in my heart to save the country and the people was not realized, and instead I fell into a teaching job."
Speaking of this, Ming Yongshou smiled helplessly, and then picked up the top letter. This letter was written by Ming Yongshou when he knew that he would be promoted to the prince's division. Its main content was to tell
The late emperor's teaching and educating people were not suitable for him. His ambition was in the court, not the lecture hall. Although the position of the prince's teacher was high,
, but it was just a casual position, so at that time Ming Yongshou would rather not be promoted than to stay in the court. After all, once he became the prince's master, he would be a teacher in his life, so Ming Yongshou was unwilling to accept it. He was very unwilling to do so.
, but in the end, the envelope was not sent out. And Ming Yongshou finally became the prince's master, and he stayed there for more than ten years.
Mingleyou looked at the yellowed folds inside the room, wondering what his grandfather wanted to say to him.
"Just now, that guy Li Longqian asked me what I wanted in my heart. In fact, my answer was the same as Ling Yuanzhou's. Unfortunately, I can only read in this life. After reading, the late emperor thought that I was not suitable for the court because I didn't know
What is weighing the pros and cons? I don’t know how to make compromises. All I know is what is written in books, just like
It was the late emperor who said that I am just out of step with the times, so I can only be a teacher in this life." Ming Yongshou sighed slightly, slowly sat on the chair, then looked at Mingleyou and said: "My young
At that time, you were studying to save the common people in the world. What about you, Leyou, why are you studying now?"
Mingleyou shook his head slightly and replied softly: "I don't know."
"You studied for the spring and autumn dream in my heart of saving the common people. Now that I think about it, you are really selfish! I didn't get the first prize in the exam, so I thought about letting your father get in. Your father didn't get in, so I
I just want you to pass the exam, but what will happen even if you pass the exam? In the end, you will end up like me, Ming Yongshou, with an untimely reputation! What our Ming family wants is not just scholars who can only read, what we want is
The scholar who can save the world!"
The more Ming Yongshou talked, the more excited he became. He couldn't help coughing twice. Ming Leyou quickly stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and then said softly: "Grandpa, no matter why you are studying, I feel that as long as you are studying, you can't go wrong."
Yes, I never felt there was anything wrong with you asking me to study."
Ming Yongshou raised his head and glanced at Ming Leyou, then stood up slowly, walked to the front of the wardrobe, and opened the wardrobe with trembling hands. He found a hat with nine bows on it, green clothes, embroidered with nine chapters, and gold and jade sword and dart heads.
The official uniform appeared in front of Ming Leyou. It was the first-class official uniform of Daliang. Ming Yongshou took out the official uniform and then reached out to dust it.
"I haven't worn it in five or six years, so I don't know if it still fits me." Ming Yongshou looked at the official uniform in his hand and smiled.
"Grandpa, why did you take out these clothes?" Mingleyou asked, standing aside with some confusion.
"It's time to go back to the old place to see my old friends." Ming Yongshou replied with a smile, then put down his clothes and turned to Mingleyou and said: "Tomorrow, don't read at home, go out and study."
, see the mountains and rivers outside, meet the people and things outside, and by the way, find what you like in your heart that should belong to you."
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" Mingleyou became inexplicably excited, looking at Ming Yongshou with bright eyes and asked.
"How can I lie to you?" Ming Yongshou curled his lips, and then added: "It's okay to go on a study tour, but you must remember the date of the Hanlinyuan exam. You must not go crazy outside and forget about business.
"
"Understood." Mingleyou quickly agreed.
"Okay, go and call your father." Ming Yongshou waved his hand at Mingleyou, and then continued to admire the official palace in the closet.
"good."
…
A moment later, a middle-aged man in casual clothes with an upright face walked into the house in a hurry. This man was Ming Leyou's father, Ming Wenshi, who was officially appointed as the Vice Minister of Zhongshu.
"Father, are you looking for me?" After Ming Wenshi came in, he first saluted Ming Yongshou and then asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Ming Yongshou nodded slightly, and then continued: "Can you go to the morning court tomorrow?"
"No." Ming Wenshi replied.
"Then prepare a carriage for me. I'm going to Chang'an to see the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty again."
When Ming Wenshi heard this, he suddenly raised his head and his body trembled involuntarily.
