Transcending into a goddess farmer

Chapter 386 Relatives in Beijing

Because Qin Shaoxian contracted an illness on the way, it took nearly a month to rush from Zhongzhou to the capital.

After Qin Miao accompanied her eldest brother to the capital, it was almost in time for the examination in November.

As soon as Qin Shaoxian entered Beijing, he began intensive preparations for the exam.In contrast, Qin Miao was much more idle after entering Beijing.This time, she came to Beijing mainly to take care of her elder brother who had just recovered from a serious illness. Now that his elder brother has recovered well and is going all out to prepare for the exam, she is free.

Qin Miao, who opened a few shops and earned some money, still had a sense of superiority in the local area, but once she entered Beijing, she immediately felt that she was too ordinary. To put it bluntly, under the feet of the emperor, she was just a crew cut Just little people.

Qin Miao dressed up in men's clothes, and walked on the streets of the capital city full of novelties. Although this place was not as lively and bustling as the neon lights of the city in her previous life, it had a kind of extreme prosperity of this time and space in it.It can be said that the best houses are here, the best commodities are here, the most prosperous and magnificent scenery are here, the richest and most powerful nobles are gathered here, and even the most graceful and suave princes are here, the most graceful and elegant. Talented ladies and gentlemen are also concentrated here.

Walking on the street here, Qin Miao was so clearly aware of her position in this time and space - a little girl from a poor man who became a commoner.

But there's nothing wrong with being a commoner.She feels that the greatest freedom is often enjoyed by free civilians.Although the powerful can have privileges and gain a little freedom that ordinary people can't get, but she has space, so she doesn't care about power.

However, Qin Miao's liking for a free and unrestrained civilian life does not mean that other people do not care about power.

At this moment Qin Miao was a little tired from wandering around the capital, so she went into a tea shop to have a cup of tea and take a rest.In the past few days, scholars from all over the country came to the capital to participate in the test. Without the arty students coming to drink tea, the business in the tea shop was relatively deserted, but there were a few wealthy and idle men chatting boringly.

Qin Miao chose a corner in the tea shop and sat down, ordered a pot of tea and began to rest her feet.

I only heard those chattering men say: "Students of today's department are blessed. Next year, the emperor will launch a lot of new policies. It's the time for employing people. Those who pass the test will be honored in the Golden Palace next year." Surely you can get a good job."

Some people began to wonder: "When can this new policy be pushed? It has to be next spring? Look at the recent exams. As soon as the results of the rural exams are released, you have to rush to Beijing. Those who are far away from Beijing can hardly catch up."

It was just hearing that the person who had spoken before suddenly lowered his voice and said such a whisper.But Qin Miao's hearing is good, she can hear even whispers.I just heard the man explain: "You don't know about this. I heard that the Holy Majesty has been in discord for a long time. I reckon that the old man wants to show his ambitions as an emperor when he can handle state affairs."

"Hiss...how did you know this? Why did the Holy Majesty disobey the body when he was so well-behaved?" The person who answered the question looked half surprised and half gossip.

"Who knows, who doesn't have a disease when they are old? But in my opinion, the Holy Majesty may be worried too much." The person who answered looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he continued, "I heard that there is a Taoist A shallow Taoist said that the current Holy Majesty is not the Son of Heaven, although he is sitting on the throne now, Daxi's life is actually very short... Do you think the Holy Majesty is not worried about this?"

A man who had been drinking tea with the two of them couldn't help answering: "There's nothing to worry about, just kill the Taoist priest. The Holy One holds the power of life and death in the world. Could it be possible that he will still be killed?" A Taoist priest was bluffed?"

"You don't know this. The Taoist said that the current emperor is not the destiny of heaven, but because the current emperor does not have the jade seal of the country. When the emperor led troops into the capital and entered the main palace, the entire capital was an empty shell. It’s because everyone in the world knows the facts, and it’s useless to kill that Taoist priest, everyone in the world knows that the Holy Majesty doesn’t have the Imperial Seal in his hands.”

"Who stipulated that the person in charge of the country must have the imperial jade seal? As long as the people in the world can have enough food and clothing, that is a good emperor."

"No, the Holy Majesty is so anxious to carry out the new policy, just for the long-term peace and stability of the world, to prove that he is still a good emperor without passing on the imperial jade seal..."

Several men gathered together, speaking in a very low voice, very keen on this kind of gossip about family, country and world.

Thanks to Qin Miao's good ears, she heard the discussion of those people clearly.Qin Miao didn't know if the current emperor was a good emperor, but the fact that those few people were able to bring gossip about the emperor to the market for public discussion was enough to prove that the current emperor was an enlightened and tolerant emperor.

How could such an enlightened emperor not be the destiny?And what about the Chuanguo Yuxi that they talked about just now?Is it a rumor deliberately spread by someone with a heart, or is it really important to pass on the jade seal of the country?
For such rumors, one must suppress them by force, and all those who are connected with the rumors will be killed to warn the world, but this kind of suppression is too bloody, not to mention the effect, and it is only temporary. Tolerate those rumors with an attitude, and then govern the world well, let the people of the world judge by themselves, and let the people of future generations judge by themselves.

Undoubtedly, the latter choice is Mingjun's approach.And these people in the tea shop can sit here and discuss this matter well, which shows that the current emperor is taking the second path, tolerating the rumors, and then governing the world well, let the people of the world comment for themselves.

In this way, Qin Miao was very optimistic about the current Holy Majesty shortly after entering Beijing, and had never seen him before, but it can be concluded that he is a rare benevolent monarch in history.

I drank a pot of tea in the tea shop. It was getting late. It was already winter in November, and it was getting dark before You hour.Qin Miao paid the tea money, left the tea shop, and returned to the inn.

Qin Miao intends to buy a house in the capital, but her elder brother is not sure whether he will stay in Beijing after the scientific examination, and what he will do in Beijing is still uncertain, and his family has no relatives in the capital, so buying a house rashly is afraid that it will be bad at the time. Deal with it, besides, the housing prices in the capital are surprisingly expensive.

Not to mention buying a house, the rent for renting a house was several times that of the local area, so Qin Miao didn't bother to bother, and could just live in a hotel.The inn is fully equipped with food, drink and supplies. To rent a house, you have to look for a house everywhere.

Qin Shaoxian went to take the national exam, and Qin Miao stayed in the inn alone.

Now that Qin Miao came back to the inn, the sky had already darkened, she planned to eat something in the lobby before going back to her room.But the shop waiter saw her and hurried forward and said: "Little brother, someone came to look for you after you went out at noon today. I said you just went out not long ago, and she asked me to give you this."

These days Qin Miao was disguised as a man, although the waiter at the inn was not so blind that he couldn't tell the difference between men and women, but he specially called Qin Miao "little brother" when speaking, so that it would be convenient for everyone to speak and act.

Qin Miao took a note from the second elder brother, put it in her bosom, thanked the second elder brother, ordered the food to be delivered to the room, and went back to the guest room to rest.

After returning to the guest room, Qin Miao showed a puzzled expression. Her family seemed to have no relatives in the capital. The only family member was still in the examination room. Who gave this note?

The content on the note is clearly the address, is this asking her to meet at that address?Qin Miao suddenly guessed, is Tang Yi asking her to meet?This kind of speculation was immediately suppressed by her as soon as it came out of her mind. It is unlikely to be Tang Yi. If he wants to see her, whether he hates her or likes him, he will definitely come to see her directly and will not send someone to deliver anything. Notes.

But who is it if it's not Tang Yi?

Qin Miao simply ate dinner, rested for the night, and left the inn early the next morning to find someone at the address on the note.

I thought I was meeting some mysterious person, and I didn't want to come to the house indicated by the address. After reporting my name, the person who came out to greet me was my uncle's second cousin, Qin Miaoyan!
"Good sister, I saw you at the door of the inn when I went out the day before yesterday, and I didn't dare to recognize you at the time. After I got home, I thought about it. Cousin Shaoxian is going to come to the capital for a scientific examination this year, so I sent a maid yesterday. I went to invite you, I didn't think you were not at the inn at that time, so she left a note for you, I didn't want you to come today." Qin Miaoyan was very polite, took Qin Miao's hand, led her into the room, and instructed the maids in the room Serve tea and send cakes quickly.

Qin Miao couldn't help asking: "Second cousin, why did you come to live in the capital?"

Qin Miaoyan took a seat next to Qin Miao: "This fall, there have been major changes in the officials in the court. Some have been promoted, some have been demoted, and some have been dismissed... Fortunately, your brother-in-law is lucky to be promoted several times by the magistrate of Qizhou. The senior became Jing Zhaoyin, so he moved to the capital to settle down."

"So little sister, congratulations to the second cousin." Qin Miao smiled and congratulated, and couldn't help thinking that the word "brother-in-law" was not called casually. Qin Miaoyan was just the concubine of the newly appointed Master Jing Zhaoyin. A decent lady, what kind of brother-in-law is Mr. Jing Zhaoyin?
Qin Miaoyan seemed to see Qin Miao's thoughts, and said: "Although I am a concubine, the master treats me very well, and specially allowed me to bring my parents and sisters to the capital to celebrate the New Year at the end of this year. Younger sister, since you I came here with Shaoxian’s cousin, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return home until after the Spring Palace Examination next year, why don’t you come here to celebrate the New Year too?”

Qin Miao said with a smile: "My eldest brother will only be able to take part in the imperial examination next spring after he gets the ranking. Now that the examination has not been finished, it is hard to say where to celebrate the New Year." , and there is no reason why Mrs. Zheng brought her natal family to her husband's house for the New Year. I don't know whether Qin Miaoyan is too arrogant because of her favor, or she just wants to show off her current decency in her natal family and ignores etiquette.

Qin Miaoyan praised and said: "Shaoxian's cousin has nothing to say about his knowledge, this time he will definitely get a good ranking in the test."

Qin Miao: "That's it, thank you second cousin for your kind words."
