concubines

Chapter 142 Homecoming

Mr. Zhang was still complacent, thinking that he had caught Miao Li's question, but Miao Li was thinking how could he ask such a stupid question.

Looking back, when her father was still there, there were also uncles who visited the house.When listening to them talk about national affairs, Miaoli just thinks that they are the smartest people in the world, and it doesn't matter how many problems are in their hands.

Looking at the present, in less than ten years, the level of courtiers has become like this.It is still a Shangshu, no wonder Zhou Shuxuan was urged to come back.

Miao Li asked: "Dare to ask my lord, who holds the military power now, is it directly in the hands of the emperor?"

Now the emperor don't talk about the military power to check and balance others, it is estimated that others will use military power to check and balance.The emperor obviously hated Zhou Shuxuan so much, he didn't dare to attack him.In addition to the fact that Zhou Shuxuan is really useful, he is not afraid of the eldest princess.

"In the hands of the eldest princess and King Qi." Master Zhang understood everything after he finished speaking, and he was unwilling to be stopped by Miao Li like this. It may not be time to help the prince."

Miao Li took a long breath in her heart, suppressed her anger and said: "Those outsiders who are like fools can't see clearly how the eldest princess and King Qi are treating the prince, can someone who is close to you like my lord not see clearly?"

I can't say any more, and tell Miao Li that I am a fool.Mr. Zhang could only keep the list and said: "Young lady, I remember what I said to the lower officials, but the release of officials is not up to the lower officials alone, and I have to report back to the Prime Minister before making plans."

On the left side, Miao Li knew very well that the left side might not agree with her.Even if he thinks what she said is right, he might not do what she said just to get angry with her.

Miao Li thought for a while and said, "Can my lord tell Xiangye that I thought of this myself?"

"Why?" Mrs. Zhang didn't understand very well. Prime Minister Zuo was very dissatisfied with her now. Speaking out this idea might change Zuo Xiang's view of her. After all, they didn't see this.

"If you say I came up with it, Mr. Xiang probably won't listen. As long as the goal is achieved, whoever says it is the same, anyway, it is for the good of the prince."

Master Zhang's view of Miao Li has changed a bit, and she doesn't seem to be so hateful.Although she is a woman, she will not work with them for long.When King Qin comes back, these things have nothing to do with Miaoli.

They have no direct interests. His allegiance to the King of Qin is to increase his official status, and Miaoli is a relationship between husband and wife.He is not the daughter of Princess Qin, it seems that Miaoli is more favored than Princess Qin, maybe who will be bigger in the future.

After thinking a lot, Mr. Zhang came to a conclusion that the relationship with Miao Li should not be too bad.

"Your officer understands, thank you for your suggestion."

Miao Li expressed respect and personally sent Mr. Zhang out to please everyone.

They deliberately found fault and gave her nothing to do.It was the second day after I came back, and Miao Li was still useless.

Still have to find something to do, back in the concubine's courtyard, Xiaohong is doing embroidery work.The house is clean and tidy, no one should make trouble.Those people are all watching people order dishes, and they don't give them some color to see, they don't know that Erlang God has three eyes.

Seeing her coming back, Xiaohong put down her work and said, "Girl is back, what do you want to eat for lunch? The side concubine just asked someone to tell me what she wants to eat. She asked the people in the small kitchen to make it and bring it over." .”

Li Youfu really took good care of her, Miao Li couldn't help but think about it.It's not that Li Youfu doesn't know anything. Could it be that she really doesn't hate herself at all? After all, they want to share a man, and now she is the one who occupies that man by herself.

Miaoli knows about the back house, and her schemes are no worse than that of the court.They are in a competitive relationship, and it is very difficult to be true friends.Think about why Li Youfu was nice to her back then?Because she is good-looking, not a solid reason, can not maintain a long-term and strong relationship.

Miao Li shook her head and said, "No need, I'm going out to visit relatives today, please thank her for her kindness on my behalf."

Xiaohong is a good servant girl, she never asks what she shouldn't ask, she just says she knows.

Miaoli took the silver ticket, changed into clothes that could be seen, and then went out.The people in the palace knew that she had an unusual status, so no one stopped her.

She is going to pay homage to Duke Ding today, so she can't go there empty-handed, thinking about buying something before coming home.

The most important thing she lacks now is money. Zhou Shuxuan is a lord of Qingshui, so he still gave her a lot of money when he left.Most of her money was given by Jie Bizhi. Jie Bizhi's medical treatment is usually not free, and the asking price is scary.But he has been on the mountain, and he doesn't spend it often when he has money, so he just puts it there.Before leaving, he grabbed a lot of banknotes for her directly in the money box.

Miaoli counted it later, and there were nearly 10 taels of silver.It was almost one year's salary for Zhou Shuxuan, and he still had to pay for the entire palace.

After picking out something she was satisfied with, Miaoli went to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Unlike the situation in the Princess's mansion, Miaoli was directly blocked outside, and the concierge refused to let her in.

Miaoli didn't have any posts, so it was very difficult.Miao Li had no choice but to try one last time, if it didn't work, she would come again next time.

"Respect, please go in and report, and say that Miaoli from Prince Qin's mansion is here to pay a visit to the Duke."

The concierge was just lazy, and Miao Li didn't want to report anything substantively.But when I heard that Miaoli was from Qin Wangfu, I was still a little scared.With his big mouth curled up, he said, "Then I'll try it. It's not certain whether the Duke will see it or not."

"Thank you."

Presumably he should see her back, Miaoli has no one and doubts.

But the concierge was gone forever, and Miao Li stood at the door for a stick of incense, but still no one came out.She was carrying things by herself, and her hands were a little sore.Perhaps there should be a maid, it would be much more convenient to have someone to follow when going out.When Zhou Shuxuan comes back, it shouldn't be a problem for her to ask for a maid.She thinks that Xiaohong is not bad, she has a good personality, and she is not a disadvantage because she is so powerful, but she doesn't know what that girl is thinking.

Miao Li was struggling with the maid's affairs when she suddenly heard a very noisy voice from behind the door, as if many people were coming.

Then, I saw that the two doors in front of me were all opened, slowly revealing the scene inside.The door of a rich family is not opened casually, it must be opened when something important happens.

Miao Li didn't know what was wrong, she raised her eyes and looked over, wondering if she should avoid it.

When I went in, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. There was a large group of people standing densely inside, almost all of them were men.Most of them are young and middle-aged, and there are a few young boys who should be the grandchildren of Ding Guogong. This scene is still very shocking.

Before Miaoli recovered, Duke Ding rushed out from inside.Looking around with tears in his eyes, "Where is my son?"

The eldest princess and Zhou Shuxuan's description of Ding Guogong is not exaggerated at all. My son should be referring to her. Miaoli stepped out cautiously, saluted and said, "Greetings to godfather."

Duke Dingguo thought that he would never see her again, but now seeing her again, he really burst into tears.

Duke Ding wiped away his tears, and greeted her directly, "You are finally back. Come, come, let's go home."

Miao Li stepped over the threshold, and now she seemed to understand that the gate was opened for her.

Going home, so strange to say, can she still have a home?
After Miaoli entered, the people inside automatically gave way.But his eyes didn't leave her for a moment, as if they were looking at something strange.Everyone wants to have a son to carry on the family line. It is really rare for Ding Guogong's family to want a daughter so much. This is probably the so-called rarity is more expensive.

The things in Miao Li's hand had already been picked up by someone, there were too many people, and she didn't see who it was.

Father Dingguo led her to the main hall, and there was a white-haired lady waiting inside, who should be Mrs. Dingguo.

The madam also had tears on her face when she saw her, she held her hand and did not let go, "I'm back, I'm back."

Miao Li was really touched by the concern from a stranger, feeling like she was about to burst into tears, and said in a choked voice, "Godmother, I'm back."

This godmother yelled, and the old lady cried even harder.He held her hand and said: "What a godmother, we will be close to each other in the future. It is hard to look forward to such a daughter."

After saying a few more words, a junior came over to persuade him.Duke Ding and the old lady stopped crying and sat down on the main seat.

In the future, Miao Li was also unambiguous when she asked others, and knelt down and kowtowed to the elders, formally paying respects to the elders.

"Okay, okay, get up soon." The old lady hurriedly asked someone to help her up.

I am old, but I still want to see the young one.Miao Li was already a little dazed when she called Eleventh Brother, and later had two younger brothers. This is really a big family.

A long time passed after the person was recognized, Dingguo arranged for lunch in a panic, and invited Miaoli to have a very grand home-cooked meal.

Obviously not very familiar with him before, but now that we meet, there seems to be endless talk.Miao Li and the old lady were mostly talking, while Ding Guogong listened with great interest.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Miao Li hurried back, so she got up and said goodbye, "Father, mother, my daughter is going back to Prince Qin's mansion, and I will come to see you some other day."

Duke Ding insisted not to eat her and call her godfather.

Duke Ding said pitifully: "Just stay here, your yard has been reserved in the mansion long ago, spend more time with my elders, and watch half of our bodies buried in the ground."

If it wasn't for worrying about looking for her about government affairs tomorrow, Miao Li would really have stayed.

"Daughter does have some things that she can't let go of, and she will come to accompany her parents when she is done with her work for a while."

After all, she is not from an ordinary family, and Ding Guogong will have to let her go if she doesn't want to let her go.

Letting her go is letting her go, but Ding Guogong insisted on letting the fifth and sixth take her back, worrying about what dangers she might encounter on the way.

Miao Li wanted to say no, she came alone when she came, and there was no danger, but she couldn't refuse.
