Chapter 78 fifth

Returning to the Lord's side to serve me is already on the border of Jinan Prefecture. I finally ended the days of fear and fear, and it seems that I have returned to my previous calm.It's just that the calm didn't last long, and something happened, which may not be a big deal to others, but to our father, the thirteenth master, even the fourteenth master, and Miss Mingwei, it was a big deal. It was a shocking event. Since then, one stone has caused a thousand waves. It is very difficult to calm down, and only I can know how I feel. On that day, officials from the Jinan Prefecture set up a stage by the Daming Lake to watch the ceremony. They also prepared a huge and luxurious dragon boat. The Lord would accompany him, as well as his mother-in-law, concubine and concubine.I already had a premonition in my heart that something was going to happen tonight, and the news that came later confirmed my premonition. Not only did it really happen, but it was also a big event—the emperor gave the Thirteenth Lord a marriage Yes, the object is the girl Mingwei whom our grandfather misses so much.I was surprised, I didn't expect this matter to be settled so quickly, without any warning.I know from the eunuchs and maids at the side that the Thirteenth Master did not attend today, nor did he accompany him on the dragon boat, but he was seen by the Tenth Master when he was visiting the temple fair by the side of the road. Mingwei, who was also with the concubine De, was called to the boat by the emperor. After a few clicks, the emperor was so happy that he gave Miss Mingwei to the Thirteenth Master as a side Fujin. The concubine said it.There was a lot of discussion around, envious, ironic, sarcasm, admiration, and disapproval, but all of this has nothing to do with me, I just want to know how our grandfather was doing at that time, it is better not to do something stupid.

I stood anxiously in the lower cabin, inquiring about any new news. Fortunately, when the banquet was over, there was no other news except that the emperor rewarded Miss Mingwei with a precious jade bracelet.My hanging heart was finally let go, and Grandpa finally held back, no matter what happened at that time, it doesn't matter anymore. At night, when the waiter went to bed, I found that the little nail on his right hand was broken, and there was a new wound on the left side of his right palm. I just pretended I didn’t see it, and I didn’t ask about it, so I didn’t dare to ask. However, at that time, how did the master endure it?Thinking of the paler and more lonely face when the Lord came back in the evening, he sat for a long time without saying a word, only heard his sigh and nothing else, and then he ordered us to wait on him and go to bed early, even the habit of reading before going to bed on weekdays. up.

The way back to Beijing was actually peaceful, but the expressions on each master's face were different, and there was a bit of a weird atmosphere along the way.Master tried his best to avoid contact with Miss Mingwei, his face became more and more indifferent, and his words became less and less, but his unintentional gaze clearly betrayed his heart.However, there is one person among them who is different from everyone else, and that is Master Shisan. Since the marriage was given, the smile has not disappeared from his face.He is still by my side as usual, and occasionally disappears for a while, but I can see that there is something between my grandfather and Thirteenth Lord, and it is something that cannot be pointed out.But the feeling seems to be better than before.

After returning to the mansion, life went on as usual, but the number of times the master went to the palace was not as much as before, he only went to pay his respects routinely, presumably he was avoiding something.I thought to myself that it would be fine if my master just let it go like this, but it's not easy!Not to mention that Grandpa spends more and more time shutting himself in the study, even the frequency of going to each room is obviously much less, but Grandpa's mind is even more serious. That day, I was walking down the corridor, and Pearl, Fujin's personal maid, walked up to me. I greeted her with a smile, and called her a thousand.This pearl usually wins Fujin's heart the most, so I have to be careful.Before I stood up straight, I heard her say: "Qin Quan'er, Fujin asked you to go over, I have something to say." I hurriedly followed, thinking that Fujin was just asking about my daily life , I often ask about it.

Following Pearl into the door, seeing Fujin sitting there embroidering flowers, I hurriedly went up to say hello, seeing that it was me, she dismissed the maids around her, leaving only Pearl by her side.My heart tightened, this scene was very familiar, it had already been staged at the Concubine De's place, and I finally realized that this was not an ordinary simple inquiry, it probably had something to do with another person.There was a drum in my heart! "Qin Quan'er—" Fujin's soft voice woke me up. "The slave is here!" I replied hastily. "What have you been doing the past few days? Why haven't you come and walked around recently?"

"If you go back to Fujin, my master has a lot of business these few days, even in the study, I have to stay until after midnight!" "I heard that he doesn't move around in every room. Recently, he has become thinner and his smile has disappeared. Did something happen during the winter hunting, or..." I was startled, and knelt on the ground, "Damn the slave, the slave didn't serve Lord Baylor well, the slave..." "Okay, I know it's none of your business. I just want to ask you one thing, does it have anything to do with her?" She sped up her speech, a little impatiently.I raised my head suddenly and looked straight at her. How did she know this?But he couldn't say the word "yes" in his mouth.Fujin looked at me, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "I understand!" He turned around and called out, "Pearl, reward Qin Quan'er with a few pieces of silver." Then he said to me, "Today, I'm just doing homework, There is no need to let Master know, so as not to worry him." I nodded in agreement, took the reward and exited the door, but the broken silver in my hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and was pressed there.
