The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 200 Thoughts

 When mentioning Ye Shangshu, the emperor was very sympathetic, "Ye Aiqing shared a lot of worries for me when he was alive. Unfortunately, Ye Aiqing passed away too early.

It has been several years since Ye Qing and I had a long chat, as if it was just yesterday. well! "

The emperor sighed deeply, and after a while, he said: "Ziqin likes to be a student of Wen Shu, and we will discuss the marriage later."

 Lv Ziqin immediately knelt down to thank him.

The emperor said to Eunuch Gao: "Hurry up and help him up! This child is fine, why is he kneeling again?"

 Eunuch Gao stepped forward and helped Lu Ziqin up.

 Lü Ziqin and Xian Wang accompanied the emperor to dinner before getting up to say goodbye.

 After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, King Xian turned his head and asked, "Why is Ziqin dissatisfied with this marriage in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Because of that Miss Gu?"

Lu Ziqin replied: "Back to my lord, I don't want to discuss marriage. I just want to study with peace of mind, strive to get good grades in the exam next year, and comfort my grandfather's spirit in heaven. It has nothing to do with anything else."

The Xian Wang stopped, looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Really? It's not because of Miss Gu?"

Lu Ziqin said: "Before the scientific examination, I don't want to be distracted."

Seeing that Lu Ziqin was avoiding the question, the wise king said: "Ziqin should know that being named on the gold list is just the icing on the cake for the British government. Even if Ziqin's name falls into the mountains, it will not have any impact on the British government. Why should Ziqin insist on it? ?”

Lu Ziqin met the wise king's gaze and said with a stern face: "Whether I can be named on the gold medal list will not have any impact on the British government.

 But it is very important to me whether I can be named on the gold list.

 How can I serve the imperial court if I have no virtue or talent? How to gain a foothold in the court in the future? "

Seeing that Lu Ziqin was angry, King Xian said: "This is not what I mean. What I mean is that in the future you will inherit the title of the British Duke..."

 Before the wise king could finish speaking, Lu Ziqin interrupted him, "Inheriting the title of the British Duke means that you have no knowledge or skills?

When a person is alive, from birth to death, is he like a worm in a rice vat, eating when he sleeps, eating when he wakes up, and waiting to die? So what's the point of living? "

The wise king waved his hand and said: "I said something wrong. Well, you are right. You concentrate on studying, and then you will succeed in your studies and be named on the gold medal list."

 After saying this, the wise king walked forward.

Lu Ziqin followed and walked forward. The two of them were speechless.

After leaving the palace gate, Lu Ziqin bowed his hands to King Xian and said goodbye. He watched King Xian's car go away before turning around and boarding the car.

 Seeing King Xian leave with a sullen expression, Ru'an asked cautiously: "Sir, is it not going well?"

 Lv Ziqin said calmly: "It went very well."

"Oh!" Ru'an put away the footstool, sat in front of the car, and asked, "Sir, are you going to the Duke Chengguo's Mansion?"

 Lv Ziqin responded: "Yes! Go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion."

Lv Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage. Today, he met the wise king. Things went much smoother than expected.

Lu Ziqin frowned when he thought of the wise king.

In the eyes of my grandfather, the wise king was a young boy with no city and no knowledge of the world. But Lu Ziqin knew that the wise king was far from being as innocent as he showed, and the seemingly casual words that the wise king said in front of the emperor today were not random. Why does the wise king want to help him?

 Because of the friendship between them? Lu Ziqin shook his head and said to himself, Impossible.

 There is an invisible barrier between them, and what separates them is an uncrossable chasm.

 Even if they are careful not to touch it, the gap still exists...

 “Come, come and keep an eye on the prince to see where he is going?”

On the other side, King Xian was sitting in the car with a sullen face. Cheng Yun carefully handed over the tea, "Your Majesty, drink tea."

The King Xian took the teacup and took a sip, then handed the teacup to Chengyun. Said: "As expected, my father stopped Ziqin from coming to work for the prince, and he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the prince for Ziqin."

Chengyun asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why is this? Isn't the Sixth Master very popular with the Emperor?"

The wise king leaned back and said lazily: "My father always thinks about Zi Qin and likes Zi Qin, so he doesn't want him to get involved.

It may be self-defeating for the Duke of the State to forcefully arrange a marriage for Ziqin regardless of his wishes.

The king reminded the Duke not to act in a hurry, but the Duke refused to listen and insisted on going his own way.

This is good, but it will make Ziqin dissatisfied and his father displeased. In the end, he may even offend the king. It's really unpleasant. "

Chengyun lowered his head and did not answer the words, and he did not dare to answer the words.

The wise king thought for a while and said: "If you don't go back to the royal palace, go to the British palace."

Chengyun raised the curtain and said to the coachman: "Go to the British Government House."

"Sir, the King Xian's car was diverted to the west of the city. I watched the car enter the Duke's Mansion." Qinglan, Ru'an's servant, came back and reported.

Lu Ziqin nodded slightly, "I understand, let's go down."

 “Sir, we’re just around the corner.” Ru’an turned around and said.

Lu Ziqin said: "Go in first."

 “Okay!” Ru’an drove the car into Chengguo Duke’s Mansion.

Lu Ziqin got out of the car and said to Ru'an, "I'll go change my clothes first, and then I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother."

Ru'an handed the riding whip to the servant, turned around and ordered others to prepare water.

 Lv Ziqin washed and changed his clothes and went to Qingfang Hall to pay his respects to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "Here you go, everyone is waiting for you to eat."

 Lv Ziqin said apologetically: "I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

Mrs. Qin took Lu Ziqin's hand and went to the restaurant, "Why have you been waiting so long? There is no need for you to be polite.

You have been away all these years, and it has been a long time since our family had a meal together. Moreover, your uncle and Minghao have just returned. "

Lu Ziqin followed Mrs. Qin to the table hall. Listening to Mrs. Qin's chattering talk, Lu Ziqin felt peaceful in his heart.

After dinner, the family sat together to drink tea. Mrs. Qin turned to the topic and asked, "Does the Emperor know about your marriage proposal?"

 Lv Ziqin nodded and said, "I understand."

“What did the emperor say?” Ye Cheng raised his head and asked.

 The Ye family knew very well that the emperor’s intention was very important when Lu Ziqin wanted to cancel the engagement.

 Lü Ziqin gave a general account of what happened in the palace.

Ye Minghao said: "So, King Xian helped you unintentionally today?"

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "Whether he did it intentionally or not, I will always remember him as a favor."

Ye Minghao nodded, "It's right to remember his kindness. Even though the wise king is young, I feel that he understands you better than the British prince."

 Lv Ziqin smiled bitterly and said, "Rather than saying that he understands me, it is better to say that he understands the emperor better."

"What? The emperor is not satisfied with this marriage?" Ye Cheng raised his head and asked.

Lu Ziqin tapped the armrest with his fingers and shook his head, "I have an intuition that the emperor is dissatisfied that the British Duke and the king are too close."

Ye Minghao learned about it from Lu Ziqin and immediately understood the profound meaning. He sighed: "The things in the court are really complicated. If you don't have enough brains, you won't know why you died!"

Ye Cheng shook his head with a headache, "Everyone looks upright, but I don't know how many twists and turns are hidden in the inner world. Fortunately, I work simply and just concentrate on doing my own thing."

Ye Cheng finished sighing and then asked: "Zi Qin really plans to end?"

 Lv Ziqin nodded, "Yes, not only do I have to go to the end, but I also have to take the exam well and strive for a good ranking."

"With your knowledge, you can take any test and you won't be able to get a first grade. Mingqin, your chance has come. Follow Ziqin. Whatever book he reads, you should read it. Take his articles and memorize them carefully." , He passed the first grade, how can you get into the second grade?" Ye Minghao turned to Ye Mingqin and said.

Ye Mingqin's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Ziqin was going to take the scientific examination. "Ziqin, I will follow your example from now on and mark the key points in the books you have read, okay?"

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Minghao and said, "Be careful! Daxing is full of talents. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside. How can it be so easy to pass the first-level exam? Don't go out and say this nonsense."

Ye Minghao smiled and responded: "Of course, I am telling Mingqin.

He complained to me yesterday that he didn’t know where to start from so many books and asked me to help him highlight the key points. How many years have I left it behind? How can I still remember the important points? "

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Mingqin and said, "Go through the book first, and ask Ru'an to sort out the notes and send them to you tomorrow, and you can review them according to the key points I marked."

Ye Mingqin nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, thank you Ziqin. With your guidance, I feel much more at ease."

Mrs. Ye was concerned about her daughter-in-law's affairs and asked, "Ziqin, when will Miss Gu deliver things to Chang'an Restaurant again? I want to see her."

Ye Minghao smiled and said: "Auntie, who do you think Miss Gu is? How could she personally deliver things to the restaurant? These things are all done by her subordinates."

Mrs. Qian looked at Ye Minghao with a smile and said, "You are very upright. You don't know how to obey. What does your aunt mean? She wants to see her daughter-in-law. Ziqin needs to make arrangements quickly."

Ye Minghao smiled and scratched his head, "They say the back house is comparable to the imperial court, and it's true.

Just now, my father said that people in the court have many twists and turns. My aunt is here now. She wants to see her daughter-in-law, so she asked Ziqin to arrange something about Miss Gu's delivery. "

Mrs. Qian laughed and scolded: "You are a straight-headed person yourself, and you still say that others have too many thoughts."

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "Mother, now is not the time. Grandfather's people have been keeping an eye on her. If grandpa finds out, it will bring trouble to Xiaoyu."

Mrs. Qin looked at Mrs. Ye and advised, "Just be patient and don't cause trouble for them. Ziqin's vision must be good."

Ye Minghao clapped his hands with a folding fan and said, "By the way, at the end of the month, Miss Gu's rouge shop on Taoyuan Road will open.

 Auntie can go around the shop when she arrives, and maybe she can meet Miss Gu by chance. "

 Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Minghao, "A powder shop?"

"Yes, that day in the south of the city, Miss Gu said that she would open a makeup shop on Taoyuan Street, selling some rouge, gouache, and perfume.

 The perfume prepared by Miss Gu has a deep and long fragrance, which smells very good. "Ye Minghao poured it down like beans from a bamboo tube, regardless of Lu Ziqin's wink.

Mrs. Ye asked curiously: "Miss Gu can also make incense?"

In Daxing, it would be extremely elegant, extremely rare, and extremely remarkable for a lady to be able to blend and make incense.

“Who knows how to do it? He is an expert. Auntie, wait a minute. I’ll get it for you to take a look at.”

Ye Minghao quickly returned to his yard, took the fragrant dew back to Qingfang Hall, handed the fragrant dew to Mrs. Ye, "Auntie, smell it."

Mrs. Ye took the scented dew, took a look at it, unscrewed the cap, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.

Ye Minghao took the scented dew back from Mrs. Ye's hand, took Mrs. Ye's hand, put a drop on her wrist and spread it, and then applied another drop behind Mrs. Ye's ear.

While wiping it, he said: "Auntie, the fragrant dew should be applied on this position. The beating of the pulse is conducive to the dispersion of the fragrant dew. The high body temperature behind the ears will make the fragrant dew more fragrant.

This bottle is a fragrance for men. It is made from more than ten kinds of precious spices. It has a woody fragrance, mainly sandalwood, supplemented by others.

By the way, it also has a nice name, Nuanyang. Auntie, when you smell it, does it feel refreshing and refreshing? "

Mrs. Ye smelled it, nodded and said: "It smells really good, sister-in-law, smell it."

Mrs. Ye stretched out her hand to Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Qian leaned over and said, "Minghao has been smelling like this these days, and it smells good.

I also asked Mingxin what kind of incense she used. I thought that I could use this incense to fumigate my clothes, but it turned out to be fragrant dew. "

Ye Mingjin came over, picked up the scented dew and looked at it carefully, "Brother, is there only one bottle? Can you share some with me?"

Ye Minghao reached out and took the fragrant dew, "This is for men. If you want to use it, you should use Wangyou."

That smell is more suitable for little girls. It smells fruity and sweet. "

Ye Mingjin felt itchy hearing this, "But where can I buy it?"

Ye Minghao looked at Lu Ziqin and raised his chin, "Look for Ziqin, he has a way."

Ye Mingjin looked at Lu Ziqin, "Brother Ziqin, I want a bottle of fragrant dew."

 Mrs. Qian looked up at Lu Ziqin and said, "Ziqin, I want a bottle too."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said: "When I see Xiaoyu, I will ask her. Grandma, what about you? Do you need it?"

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "I'll go to the shop and pick it out myself."

Ye Minghao smiled and said, "Grandma is going to choose a grandson's wife, right?"

Mrs. Qin slapped Ye Minghao with a round fan, laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who is smart."

Mrs. Ye said: "Then I will go to the shop to pick it myself."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "Xiaoyu won't go to the shop, and you won't be able to see her if you go."

Mrs. Qian said: "Minghao, go and find out when Miss Gu's shop will open. Usually Miss Gu doesn't go to the shop, but she always has to check it out on the opening day. Let's go shopping on the opening day."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Xiaoyu and ask her to wait for you in the shop. There will be many people and things on the opening day, so Xiaoyu won't be able to talk to you."

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "Zi Qin is thinking about it. The shop is about to open, and Miss Gu must be very busy. Let's go there after it opens."

"How long will it take to wait? I really want to get the fragrant dew now. I can use it at the flower party at Liao Shangshu's house in two days." Ye Mingjin said disappointedly.

Ye Minghao turned Ye Mingjin's hand. When Ye Mingjin looked at him, Ye Minghao pursed his lips towards Lu Ziqin and whispered: "Silly girl, please ask Ziqin."

Ye Mingjin whispered: "Isn't Brother Ziqin being watched by the British Duke? Will it cause trouble to Brother Ziqin?"

"Silly, the British father handed the letter into Miss Gu's hand as if staring at him. He has many tricks." Ye Minghao replied.
