Chapter 403

Hearing Ye Xi's request to follow LV Xiao to Dangxiang, Ling Qingyu was a little surprised and asked Yan Qi, "after all, he is still young. Is it too dangerous to go there?"

"Eleven's martial arts are now above me." Yan Qi smiled and said, "as for age, don't worry, he is not what he used to be." Ye Xi had been spoiled by Ling Qingyu before. He was also a son of everyone. Although he had the best martial arts and knowledge, he didn't know much about personnel accidents. It was easy to think about things. But since Yan San died, he was like a different person. There was no smile on the face of the child who used to like to laugh and make trouble. He was silent and didn't even hesitate to kill. It could be said that he was a scabbard full of jewelry, Now it is really a sharp blade that has been quenched and sharpened.

"Good." Ling Qingyu nodded and stopped talking about it. Instead, he asked, "Cheng Jia said to hold the Wen Hui on August 16. What do you think?"

"Start making preparations. Han Liang will come back in a few days and bring back some more people. There should be enough people."

The cultural conference convened by Cheng Jia and Wang xuanzhi completely changed its quality after several days of fermentation.

First, the second prince expressed his concern, then the eldest prince expressed his concern, and then the fourth Prince expressed his intention to study, followed by the gaze of the empress of the harem.

The princes were fine, but some other nobles directly asked for invitations from their friends, not only those Qingliu and some poor scholars, including officials and dignitaries, but also xungui. Although I don't know what it means for those generals to attend the cultural meeting, the door couldn't be closed after the Wang family sent a few to the Zhao family and the Gao family.

When the imperial concubine of the second prince said she would come to the scene to watch, the other door could not be blocked.

With a slap on the table, Ling Qingyu angrily said, "Wang xuanzhi, you have a grudge against me, don't you!"

Wang xuanzhi's face was also not very good. The Wen Hui was jointly initiated in the name of him and Cheng Jia, so the invitation he signed was also valid, but he really didn't expect that his eldest brother and sister would send the invitation he signed directly to those people. Up to now, what was originally a good gathering of scholars from poor families has become a hodgepodge!

Cheng Jia rubbed her eyebrows. She just felt that the energy she had just replenished would be completely consumed. Now it's not a matter in the scholar circle at all, but if she didn't recognize it now, it would be more troublesome. Or could she use such a rare chaotic party to do something else?

"If the female relatives also come, where are you going to put it, prince?" Yan Qi asked coolly. If it's all male guests, it's Cheng Jia's business to have more and more people. He only cares about safety, and Han Liang cares about reception. Then even if the guards are used as receptions, it's enough. But the women's families also came, and the ladies who were noble and noble all came. How can these dozens of servant girls in the house be enough?

"I don't care. I'm a widow and can't participate in these social activities, hum!" Ling Qingyu asked Yan Qi to move and sit on the soft side, and served tea. make fun of! This must be the idea of Wang Huilan. Retaliate!

Several people looked at her speechless for a moment, but they knew that at least one thing she said was right. She was now a widow, and she couldn't make a deal whether she came forward to entertain or not.

"Sorry..." Wang xuanzhi bowed his head.

"How many invitations did you send out to the female guests?" Cheng Jia asked in a deep voice. After Wang Huilan said she would come and send some invitations on behalf of Wang xuanzhi, Cheng Yuqin asked Fan Zheng to send a message that they would also come, otherwise Ling Qingyu would be too poor.

"Sort out the Yanyan courtyard, the valley wind courtyard, the green clothes courtyard and the micro courtyard to entertain the female guests. It's close to the lake, and then put some screens between the two. We don't care about eating, but tea. Ladies can only bring two servant girls with us. If you are a high-grade lady, you can't bring more than four, and the childe can bring a little boy. In this way, if you obey the rules, you can enter the door. If you don't obey the rules, no matter who you are, you can't come in ！” Yan Qi looked at Han Liang and asked, "so, are those servant girls enough?"

Han Liang turned over the list brought by Wang xuanzhi, frowned tightly, shook her head and said, "if you follow these invitations sent by Prince Wang's sister, there are only more than 70 female guests, more than our servant girls."

"Let them take care of themselves, isn't it for them to take servant girls? Then find a place to set up a bar table with tea on it. If you want to drink, pour it yourself. If you want to eat, get it yourself. What's the matter?" As he spoke, Ling Qingyu got up, waved his hand to several people and said, "let's make it clear. We only provide rental places. As for entertainment, whoever posts will be responsible for entertainment!" With that, he walked out of the room.

Wang xuanzhi smiled bitterly and saluted, "sorry for you."

"As the head of the household said, let's help ourselves. Those leading ladies let those people in the outer courtyard come in. It's not much worse. I don't know if brother Cheng has a reliable person to borrow?" Han Liang asked.

"My family has." As soon as Wang xuanzhi said it, he was stared back by Cheng Jia and Han Liang at the same time. Your home! Who dares to use the Wang family? Maybe there will be an assassin!

"There are not many servant girls in Cheng's house. Let me tell Fan Zheng to use the people in fan's house." Cheng Jia rubbed her eyebrows and said.

Cheng Jia and Wang xuanzhi came to the door in person and asked for help. Fan Zheng was stunned for a long time. Then he went to the backyard to discuss with his daughter-in-law. Although Cheng Yuqin had been married to fan's house for a year, he had never been in charge of it, and his subordinates were just more than 20 people in the yard. Naturally, those little servant girls in the yard were useless, and only a dozen people had to be used. It must be not enough. At the time of worry, Hearing this, Fan Ye's wife, Yang Shi, came to the door, patted her legs and said that she could also lend people there. After Fan Ye was promoted to be the transportation envoy of Fujian Road, Yang Shi was left in Beijing by the old lady, but after all, Fan Ye's official position was there, and the yard was large enough, and Yang Shi had enough private houses, so he told the old lady that the quota of the house in the yard was paid by the government, and all the expenses of her own people were paid by herself, Even a small kitchen has been built by herself, and there are enough people in her yard.

Together, about 50 people could be gathered on both sides. Fan Zheng ran back to the front yard with a smile, told Cheng Jia and Wang xuanzhi, and promised to send them the next day, which made their faces a little better.

The next day, Yang personally led the team to the Dingguo mansion, handed it to Cheng Jia and Han Liang, and then passed through the corner gate to Ling Qingyu.

Yang and Ling Qingyu are old friends. Fan Ye and Yang receive filial piety from the Ling family every year. Fan Ye has also helped Ling Qingyu many times. Although they haven't seen each other for several years, they are not constrained.

But when we last met, Ling Qingyu was still a merchant and respectful to Yang. When we met again this time, Ling Qingyu was the first lady of the country. Although her attitude was still respectful, Yang dared not accept her courtesy and was much more polite when she spoke.

When he remembered that he had mentioned that Ling Qingyu was Yang Zhao's concubine, Fan Ye said that she was short-sighted. Later, when he learned that Yang Zhao was married, Fan Ye also lamented to her that General Yang was indeed a deeply affectionate person. Now, looking at Ling Qingyu's filial piety clothes with a white flower on his head, Yang felt very sad that he was going to be widowed at a young age, and he didn't even have a son, such a helpless woman, According to Fan Ye, she was also pledged by the imperial court as an adult in Beijing. If she knew this was the result, she would prefer Ling Qingyu to marry an ordinary merchant, at least not suffer from these hardships.

"Why didn't madam go to office with adults?" Seeing Yang's face full of sympathy, Ling Qingyu coughed slightly and asked.

"Hey, it's not the old lady at home. Besides, my son also wants to enter Taixue." Yang sighed, but didn't say it deeply. Speaking of it, it's not because she didn't please the old lady enough and didn't like the old lady, so she responded to her and didn't let her follow. She also sent two girls of her own to make a room for Fan Ye. She said she would lift her aunt when she had a child, so that she cared? She doesn't care. Now she has hundreds of thousands of silver tickets and has bought many stores in Beijing. Not to mention the cost of her son's marriage, the dowry of her two daughters has been prepared. If she has money and leisure, why should she rush to be angry with her husband? I happen to be relaxed by myself.

Although he said wronged words, there was no trace of unhappiness on his face, and his eyebrows stretched out to look very happy. This is a man who can make a living! Ling Qingyu said with a smile, "I heard that your young lady is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Madam is blessed!"

"That's my daughter, I'll tell you..." when talking about her children, Yang's eyebrows and eyes laughed, and all kinds of funny things happened, which made Ling Qingyu laugh with her.

After talking about the children at home, he began to talk about some gossip in Beijing. Ling Qingyu hadn't been seen in Beijing for three months. Yang Shi thought that she must not know anything, so he picked some of the most popular news and said that seeing her face at a loss again, he remembered that she should be unfamiliar with these complex relationship circles in Beijing, so he started from the fan family and talked about those circles connected by marriage in Beijing.

"Although the Fu family doesn't have any outstanding figures in this generation, the old master of the Fu family is a great Fu. Now he is still living very hard and is second to none in the noble family. I heard that the Fu family intended to marry the Cheng family some time ago, and then it didn't end. Then I heard that Cheng Jia actually lived here with you!"

"Wait, madam! I don't live here, but rent it! You know, although the imperial court rewarded me with this mansion, my husband has passed away, and his salary has gone. It's expensive to raise such a large yard. Since Cheng Jia is willing to pay, I'm naturally willing to rent it to him. You can see that our fence is high enough, isn't it high enough? Then I'll reinforce it!"

Yang couldn't help but cover his mouth and said with a smile, "you're still like that. Why do you pay so much attention to money?" Actually rent out the royal residence? Emperor Xiwen didn't know how angry he was after he knew it.

"Hey, madam, to tell you the truth, what can we rely on now except money?"

"Also," Yang gently patted Ling Qingyu's hand and said, "I want to be open. I always have to live. If I have money, I'll make myself comfortable." If it weren't for the drunkenness during this period, she would like to have a boy.

After chatting for an hour, Yang thanked Ling Qingyu for staying for dinner and left before dinner. Before leaving, she said that she would bring her two daughters over on August 16, and come and show them to her at that time.

All the people brought by Mrs. Yang were very capable and proficient in the etiquette and ways of entertaining large families. Han Liang simply handed over all the women in his house to the steward, and then handed over the arrangements to the steward. It was really that he, a big man, knew how to entertain female guests. After giving an account, he gave each of them a ingot of fifty liang of white silver, At that time, the women patted their chests and promised that even if they came to the palace, they would not make a mistake.

Yang Shi mentioned to bring his daughter, but it reminded Ling Qingyu of one thing. Cheng Yuqin and Su Wanyun, who had just married, would come. They were afraid that they would also bring their own sisters and nieces, so they quickly searched the box for gifts. After looking for Yan Qi's cool words for a long time, are you willing to give these things? He stopped and asked Han Liang to transfer gifts from the silver building that had just opened in the capital.

She only said the things she wanted to give away, but she didn't say the quantity. Just as a large number of goods came from Jiangnan in the silver building, the shopkeeper simply sent her a box. Looking at the hundreds of exquisite, bright and lovely ornaments, Ling Qingyu said that she was very depressed.

It's almost time for such preparation, and the Mid Autumn Festival is coming.

Every festival, I miss my family, stand in the yard and look at the moon in the sky. The heat has gradually dissipated. The cool wind brings the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and wisps of thoughts come to my heart. Although there is also a noise nearby, there is also the voice of Xie Sanlang shouting to eat moon cakes.

Ling Qingyu feels lonely for no reason

A pair of arms came from behind, and the warm chest was also pasted on the back heart. A soft kiss fell on the ear. At the same time, Yan Qi's low voice with a little hoarseness: "Qingyu, I'm here."

For tomorrow's suddenly increased safety pressure, Yan Qi and Ying 13 and Ying 9 have been busy, and their faces turned pale after hard cultivation. Alan followed LV Xiao and ye 11 to visit the stonework and ghost doctor in Dai County. Ling Qingyu can only order to make some herbal food left by Alan to keep it for him.

"Well." Ling Qingyu's side head, lips and Yan Qi's lips touched together, then kissed lightly, and then said, "today, let's have a rest."

"If you are busy tomorrow, you can have a good rest. Don't worry." Yan Qi laughed in a good mood. Wang Jia's move was very insidious, but he didn't expect that Cheng Jia and Wang xuanzhi would post. If something went wrong, Ling Qingyu would be able to push it cleanly, but Cheng Jia and Wang xuanzhi would be disgraced. No, it should be said that it was the Wang family who sent the post. Besides, by doing so, they would completely offend Cheng Jia to death, so that no one would doubt that Cheng Jia would favor the Dong family in the future.

"What were you thinking just now?" Rubbed Ling Qingyu's neck, Yan Qi asked in a low voice.

"I'm thinking that if one day I can go back and really want to see my mother," Ling Qingyu sighed, thinking that it would be great if those two people could be here.

"If you want to go back, take Yan Qi with you." Yan Qi rubbed again and laughed.

I can't go back. Time can't go back, so people can only move forward. No matter how painful or bitter it is, they can only move forward.

Ling Qingyu smiled faintly, touched Yan Qi's hand, and whispered, "how about accompanying me tonight?"

"Good!"

Cheng Jia's footsteps paused at the door. Looking at the two people under the shadow of the tree, their eyes dimmed slightly, they restrained their emotions, walked again, and said, "Qingyu, just received the letter sent by the king of the southern court of the state of Liao. In early September, the king of the southern court will go to Bianjing with the princess, and then form an eternal peace with Zhou to discuss with Zhou. The messenger sent in the early days will arrive in a few days."

"What?" Ling Qingyu was shocked, then stepped forward and asked, "what does it mean?"

"This is the letter sent by he Ligang. The battle between Xiao Sui and Yelv is a small win. Yelv also returned to the north of Zhongjing, but the military strength is not less than Xiao Sui. If Xiao Sui wants to fight Yelv wholeheartedly, he must close the back door." Yan Qi also followed a few steps and handed the letter in his hand to Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu opened the letter, and Su Mu had held the candle like her arm beside her. After reading the letter quickly, Ling Qingyu smiled coldly at the corners of her mouth, looked at Cheng Jia and asked, "is it the line led by the Zhao family?"

"The letter was sent through Youzhou camp, which was garrisoned by Zhao Yinfeng. However, it is not necessarily Zhao Yinfeng who led the line. He is different from Zhao Mingliang. He has fought with the Liao state many times in Bazhou for so many years, and basically won." Approaching Ling Qingyu, Cheng Jia took the letter from her hand and said, "this letter may only be sent through Zhao Yinfeng. After all, Zhao Yinfeng can't stop this kind of thing privately. As long as you look at the wind direction on the court, you can probably guess who has collusion with Xiao Sui."

Ling Qingyu snorted coldly.

Cheng Jia looked up, returned the letter to Yan Qi, casually hugged Ling Qingyu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "apart from those traitors, this situation is beneficial to us. Xiao Sui was also tripped by Yelu, so even if there was civil strife in the Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't be separated."

"Do you want to propose to accept the peace talks?" Ling Qingyu stared at him sideways.

"Hehe, I don't need to propose it. I just want to secondate it at the end." Cheng Jia laughed twice, took Ling Qingyu and sat down at the stone table full of food, laughing.

"Prince Cheng, you don't have to go back with your father today's Mid Autumn Festival?" Yan Qi asked coolly. Make trouble, right?

Cheng Jia didn't lift her head, but put food on the plate in front of Ling Qingyu and said, "it's over. This urgent letter came, and my father was called into the palace. I'm afraid he won't return for a while."

"What does your father think of this?" Ling Qingyu pulled Yan Qi's hand and asked him to sit down next to him, and then asked others to sit down.

"Father," Cheng Jiawei sighed and said, "I guess it's seconded in the end."

"Forget it, we'll have a lively holiday today. Come on, Sumu, sing the song I taught you." Ling Qingyu laughed.

When does the moon appear? Ask Qingtian about the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it this evening? I want to take advantage of the wind and go back, for fear that the Qionglouyuyu will be too cold at high places. Dancing with clear shadows, how can it be in the world! The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge. Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart? People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart, the moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane, This has been going on since the beginning of time. May we all be blessed with longevity. Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together..

The song is clear and graceful, with a sense of ethereal. The song that sings the artistic conception should only be like the sky.

"What a sentence! I hope people can live a long time and share the beauty of the moon! I respect you!" Su Mu's voice was still lingering, and Cheng Jia raised his glass and laughed.

"I didn't write this word, so I don't dare to take credit for it." after touching Cheng Jia with a cup of light sipping, Ling Qingyu stood up and looked at the others, his eyes shining like stars, and said, "today's Mid Autumn Festival, this is the day of reunion, and I've always regarded you as your family. Before, today, and in the future, if you can get together one day, cherish one day, come and drink this cup."

There was a moment of silence in the yard. Xie Sanlang laughed first, then stood up, and then Ying jiuying 13 also stood up. Su Mu was already standing aside, and took the wine cup handed by Xie Sanlang and came forward. Yan Qi smiled and shook his head, waving his hand to Ye soul who was guarding on the roof, and stood beside Ling Qingyu.

Yelu was stunned for a moment, and flew down. When he came to the table, Xie Sanlang laughed and said, "seventh master, can Yelu drink at this age?"

Night spirit stared at him and grabbed the wine cup in his hand.

Cheng Jia shook his head and said with a smile, "this can't exclude Jia." Get up, the wine cup gently touches Ling Qingyu's wine cup, and then look up and drink it up.

After many years, no one knows how many people are left here, but at this time today, it's not worth a lifetime to get a family.

The strongest love in the world is love, but the longest love is family.
