Chapter 102: Bringing my guards to see the world
After sending Liang Ying away, Yu Qingping returned to her room and kicked everyone out.
The room buzzed as if his voice was still echoing, and Yu Qingping was a bit distracted and irritated. Liang Ying didn’t seem to be joking, if it wasn’t for the fact that there happened to be a Wan Shou Festival in the way, he would have come right away to propose marriage – next month, May would be the Wan Shou Festival, there was only more than a month left, what could she do in this more than a month?
Wasn’t it too hasty just now, perhaps she shouldn’t have agreed to him.
She lay down on the couch, turned her back and turned her face toward the wall.
Suddenly for a moment she sat up in support, her eyes gleaming as she walked over to the window sill and opened the cabinet to take out a jasper whistle in her hand.
……
Liang Ying went straight back to the house and rushed into the main courtyard before her horse stopped.
Mrs. Guangping Bo was entertaining her siblings from her mother’s family, chattering away, and when she saw him bursting in, she scolded him with a stern face, “So ignorant of the rules, and did not bow to your aunt and uncle?”
Liang Ying stopped in the middle of the room and turned around to salute Mr. and Mrs. Wang Wenlin in the seat: “Greetings, aunt and uncle.”
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Wenlin stood up, “Brother Ying came back late today. Is the government office busy?”
Since Liang Ying became the emperor’s personal bodyguard, there were many people who cared about his business when he was out and about. Wang Wenlin served in the Sixth Section, which was also an important position, and was very concerned about these.
“Not busy, I just went out for a stroll.” Liang Ying said and glanced at Marquis Guangping’s wife, Mrs. Wang, wanting to speak.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang knowingly took her leave from Marquis Guangping’s wife, “I’ve been sitting there for some time now, it’s time to go back, please ask your sister to do what I said just now.”
“We are all siblings, what’s the point of saying these out-of-the-way words?”
Marquis Guangping’s wife got up to see her off.
Liang Ying followed to the courtyard gate, and after watching them go far away, she asked her mother, “What did auntie and the others request of mother?”
As she walked, Lady Guangping Hou said, “Your uncle has been in the position of Right Minister for a number of years, and asked your father and I to raise his position. Your father went to the Minister of Revenue, Lord Wen, a few times, but I don’t know if it was because of the case of the OOCs a while back, but Lord Wen refused to relent, saying that he would only do it in accordance with the rules. The matter was shelved.
“Your uncle heard from Minister Wu in the past two days that Lord Wen admires Marquis Qingyun’s son very much, and it just so happens that their eldest girl is waiting for her maidenhood, so your uncle wanted to ask us to help the Wen family and the Zhao family make this match, and get the matter done on the way.”
Liang Ying stared: “I remember that Lord Wen and Old Shangshu He are from the same family, Old Shangshu He took the opportunity to put pressure on the Emperor because of Wu Xiuping’s clash with the guards a couple of days ago, allowing the Emperor to give him a pass, and the talk about Shi En returning to the Ministry of Rites has been a lot quieter in the past couple of days. Lord Wen and He Zong are from the same sect, why bother to dabble in all this?”
Marquis Guangping’s wife sighed: “This is also something that can’t be done, so the matter between the He family and Marquis Qingyun’s residence is not a big deal, so the He family can’t be unhappy about people getting married, right? In the future, the He family will still have to work with the Marquis of Qingyun?”
“I’m not talking about that.”
Liang Ying said this, but didn’t say much more.
“Hey,” Mrs. Guangping Marquis thought as she walked, “What is it that you ran in here in such a hurry just now?”
Liang Ying paused in her steps, “Oh, my son – my son wants to discuss marriage.”
Mrs. Guangping Hou heard this and immediately looked radiant, “Really? That’s a good thing! Your father and I are also preparing to organize this! Which girl do you have your eye on?”
Liang Ying smiled, “It’s Sister Ping from the Marquis of Jingnan.”
Mrs. Guangping Marquis nodded in contemplation, “This girl is very promising and strong.”
“Mother won’t object, right?”
“How could I?” Lady Guangping Marquis laughed, “I’ll learn from Empress Dowager’s realm, and I’ll do whatever you see fit as long as it’s a good girl who’s clean and upright.”
……
The Ministry of Rites left minister Yamen reopened stove, these days Fang Qingxue busy feet, so in turn is not yet the turn of Zhao Su what errands.
Yamen when she is the emperor sent to the imperial police, on her to hold the supply, good food and drink, but where Fang Qingxue house, always give her also to a share, originally thought to be when the social animal, did not think that instead of enjoying the blessings! Eating people’s mouths are soft, she took the dossier given to her by Empress Dowager Lu in the past few days to study it.
This time, Empress Dowager Lu should be to her bottom, from the beginning of the establishment of the Flower Moon Society, to now more than 20 years of the course of the detailed account, with these, Zhao Su and even any place in a session of the Lord is who is well known.
She purposely turned to the page where she recognized the leader Chen Yu Qingping. Yu Qingping, recorded in the file, is still very good, when the opponent to win the title are all from the general’s family of the tiger girls, she in this case also all the way through the generals, not once was brushed down, it is considered to be very strong. To be placed in the modern era, it is a proper strong woman, but it is a pity that …… the heart is a little bit incorrect.
The emperor usually have to deal with political affairs, in fact, there is not much time always caught Zhao Su difficult. Zhao Su also do not want to see him, so these days are ready to let the eunuchs sent to the Qianqing Palace, their own back to the forbidden guards Department bragging and chatting.
In the afternoon to the emperor made a white cut chicken, grilled a small steak, cut into small pieces and coded, plate with three shrimp, a few green vegetables, and then fried two small yellow fish.
Beef actually marinated and pan-fried can eat, and the inside is still half-cooked, bok choy is also white water blanched and put on, and let a person look silly.
Of course, if it is not the last time to see the emperor ate half-cooked beef, Zhao Su did not dare to do.
The rest of the beef she grilled to seven minutes cooked, and fried some potato cubes, with a small food box to bring to the forbidden guards as a snack.
Just eat not two bites, Liang Ying came in, different from the previous few days, these two days between his eyes with a happy color, not like before as people hate the dog aversion, Tongxu unavoidably curious, waiting for him to go after he said: “He is not transferring away soon?”
“Mustn’t full three years to be promoted? It’s not like he’s gotten any credit lately, it’s impossible.” Servant Zhou Qian said.
“Then why is he so happy?”
“Who knows!”
Tong Su spread his hands.
Zhao Su was also quite puzzled, but it wasn’t relevant to her in the end, and besides, she had a history with Liang Ying, so it wasn’t convenient for her to pry. So she changed the subject and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to invite me for dinner last time? I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the north of the city, and it is a cook who specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, so why don’t we have this meal after our errand tonight?”
“OK! You lead the way.”
“Lead the way to what? Where are you going?”
At this time, Zhao Sum came in from the outside and caught these words.
The crowd turned their heads, only to see that he was beautifully dressed and glowing today, they all couldn’t help but stand up, “World Son.”
Zhao Su looked him up and down: “You’re dressed like this, are you going on a blind date?”
Zhao Sum slapped her lightly on the back of her head, “What are you talking about? There’s a foreign envoy visiting from the Hall of Convergence, I have to go and meet him tonight.”
“You’re going?”
Zhao Sum was the deputy commander of the twelve battalions in the capital city, so it was reasonable to say that he was not in charge of this matter of welcoming guests in the court.
