Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 290
Let's say that the Dragon Boat Festival is here, and the whole family of Li's family dressed in court clothes to greet He Dong, Murong Ying, and He Yiyun.

He Dong and Murong Ying finally met Mr. Crouching Tiger Li Bing's only wife Qu Shi in front of the county government gate.

"The concubine, Mrs. Qu, pays homage to His Majesty, Queen, and Princess."

Qu's thick black hair is combed in a high bun, and she wears a pair of ruby ​​crested hairpins. Her round face is pink and smooth, and her big black and white eyes are gentle and firm. The Lord's dark purple court dress is dignified and quiet, and she looks very young in her thirties.

She is many times more beautiful, younger and decent than the princes, county princes, and county princes who entered Chang'an City at the beginning of the year.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, sir and I are both teachers and friends, you are his wife, so don't be more polite." He Dong hurriedly helped Qu's up.

He thought Li Bing's wife was an ugly old woman who couldn't read, and he always felt that Li Bing was too wronged. Now when he saw Qu's wife, he was much better than he imagined, at least he looked very young and pleasing to the eye.

Murong Ying asked curiously: "Sister-in-law looks really young, what methods do you use to maintain your skin?"

Qu Shi was a little panicked, but she slowed down when she was nervous during the training in Tanzhou, and said in a proud tone: "Reporting to the queen, the concubine's skin was slightly dark, and later she used goat milk jade muscle ointment made by her granddaughter, pearl cream, etc. The ice cream gradually became what it is today."

Murong Ying's eyes brightened instantly, and she said with a smile: "Little Jing Niang has so many good things. But such good things must be very rare."

If she asked Li Jingjing for two ointments in front of He Dong, she would have to distribute them to the three concubines after returning to the palace.Such a stupid thing will not be done.

Qu's eyes flickered with her head down, and said softly: "I only get some for my birthday every year." Xin said: Empress Empress, I am very sorry for lying to you.

Murong Ying followed suit and said, "Then I won't take away people's love."

Every time He Dong thinks that the Qu family has raised two sons alone in an unknown village in Liuyang County for so many years, allowing Li Bing to bow to the Ding Dynasty with peace of mind, he will feel grateful to the Qu family, saying: "Mr. If you are not in the mansion often, my sister-in-law is worried about getting tired."

Qu Shi never felt that it was tiring to lead Mrs. Li alone in the county town and Qujia Village. She always thought it was her duty, and said: "The concubine's husband is working hard and dangerous outside, but he brings money home every year. , the concubine has never felt tired doing some housework safely at home."

When the wives of the ministers first came to Chang'an to see He Dong, they all cried out with snot and tears that it was extremely hard and tiring to raise their children alone without their husbands at home, and even made the children cry one by one saying that they were bullied by the people in the village. , so that He Dong had to bestow more treasures.

Qu Shi was the first to say that he was not tired.

He Dong naturally liked to hear such words, and he had a little more respect for Qu in his heart, and praised: "Sister-in-law is really a real person."

The Qu family and the Li family stood aside, respectfully invited the empress and the princess to enter the gate of the mansion, followed them inside, and went to the reception hall of the outer courtyard together.

He Dong and Murongying took the seat, He Yiyun sat on the left side, Qushi, Li Laoshi, his wife and twins sat on the right side, Li Qubing, the twins, and He Yiyang sat next to He Yiyun.

He Dong glanced at He Yiyang, who insisted on sitting between the twins as if he belonged to the Li family, and asked with a straight face: "If your mother and I don't come to see you, will you not go back to the palace?"

He Yiyang said solemnly: "My son will definitely go to the palace to greet you and the queen on the first day of the new year."

He Yiyun said angrily, "Brother, this holiday season, don't say anything that offends your father and mother."

Li Yunfei stretched out his hand to shave his face, and said loudly: "Brother Yang is not good, he made uncle and aunt angry."

He Jiye covered his mouth and snickered, Li Yunfei followed suit with an undisguised giggle.

Qushi hurriedly winked at the two little grandsons, unexpectedly the two little guys laughed even harder.

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Last time in the palace, the twins were so nervous that they couldn't let go, but this time at their own home, they felt nothing to be afraid of, so they spoke freely.

He Yiyang stood up and said, "Sister Huang, take Yelang and Feilang brothers outside to play with me."

The two little guys immediately jumped off their seats and ran to He Yiyang.Seeing Murongying nodding, He Yiyun followed He Yiyang out of the hall.

Li Jingjing played a role with Li Yunxiao, and followed them to the yard.

The elders in the hall continued to speak.

He Dong specifically asked: "Sister-in-law lived in the clan before, did anyone in the clan ever bully you?"

Mrs. Qu shook her head and said, "No. The people of my natal family are simple and honest, and they take good care of us. My second son, Qu Bing, has no surname Qu, and was allowed by the family to study ethnology for a year."

He Dong nodded, and asked, "Sister-in-law has an elder brother who is a direct relative. I heard that he worked in the county government office many years ago?"

Qu's said slowly: "My brother's name is Qu Fu, and he was the executioner of the Liuyang County Yamen when the dynasty opened. He has good martial arts, is very upright, and treats me very well."

"Brother Ling is now in Beidi with Mister, and Mister mentioned him in his letter to me." He Dong paused, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, next time Brother Ling makes meritorious service, what kind of official position will I confer on him?" good?"

Qu's eyes were filled with joy and gratitude, and he said: "I am a woman and don't know much about politics. Your Majesty canonize me according to my elder brother's meritorious service."

Ding's mother and son, and Qu Duo's family now live in the Qu Mansion in Chang'an.Qu Kuaishou, Deng Shi and Qu Jiujiu are still in the Northland.

These days, Ding's mother and son have visited Li's residence twice, and even stayed for one night.

The Li family also visited the Qu Mansion. It was a courtyard with two entrances. The area was about the same as that of Qin Yue and He Huishu's family. The furniture inside was slightly inferior. Even so, it cost nearly [-] silver.

The sum of money to buy this yard was not from the Li family, but from the Ding family, and her name was written on the deed.

The total dowry that the Ding family gave to Ding was 3 taels. Ding already had two sons, so he would never use up the dowry.

The money for buying the yard did not come from the dowry, but after Ding went to Beidi, she took over her natal family's business. Her natal family made a lot of money and gave her dividends.

Qu's heart hoped that Qu Kuai's official position would be higher, so that his salary would be higher. When he went to Chang'an, where prices were much higher than Tanzhou, he could still live as comfortably as he did in Tanzhou, without relying on his daughter-in-law's subsidy for family money. .

Murong Ying smiled like a flower, looked at He Shi affectionately, and said: "Brother Dong, who doesn't want to get promoted and get rich, sister-in-law is thinking of you. Next time sister-in-law's only direct brother's elder brother has made meritorious service, you should promote it well. "

He Donglang laughed a few times, nodded and said, "You're right."

He Dong and Murong Ying are very familiar with Li Bing, and now everyone in the Li family except Li Yunqing has seen each other.
