Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 54 Letter from the Capital
He wrote down what he did every day, what new things he encountered, and every detail.His letter made me lose the sense of distance, and I almost forgot the distance between myself and them, as if we were still living together.In every letter, he asked me at the end if the purse was ready, and told me to do it myself.I can't see that Ting Lu is also such a mother-in-law.

When I wrote back to him, I didn’t explain my daily activities like him. Knowing that he likes to listen to stories, I specially picked some light-hearted and funny life jokes and wrote them to him.Sure enough, every time he wrote a letter, he said that his stomach hurt from laughing, and when he told it to his friends, they also laughed so hard that they couldn't stop crying.It is said that they all envied him for having such a pistachio by his side.

So, looking forward to letters from the capital became my daily homework, but unfortunately every letter I received was from Ting Lu. Compared with Ting Lu's frequent letters, Ting Yu's letters seemed to have disappeared. .I really want to know his news, but unfortunately I don't get much. I can only find two or three sentences from Ting Lu's nagging words, and most of them are briefly mentioned.It is said that he is now appointed as an attendant of the Imperial Academy, and apart from having morning lessons with the princes and princes, he spends most of his time by the prince's side to listen to affairs.According to Ting Lu, the emperor wanted to use Ting Yu's knowledge and style to influence the prince more, so that the prince could learn from each other's strengths and make up for his weaknesses.In fact, with Ting Yu's level, getting a ranking in the Beijing Examination is as easy as pie, let alone the No.I don't understand why Ting Yu still has no fame at this age, but left Yin En.

As for Ting Lu, his fate is really full of twists and turns, and every time he thinks of the final ending, he feels an indescribable pain in his heart.

He doesn't like being restrained, and likes to travel the mountains and rivers to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. How can a person with such a free mind willingly step into the dark officialdom?I guess, because of his political career and the influence of his family environment, his father and brothers are all walking in the officialdom. Over time, it is inevitable that he will be caught in it.This is the reason why the so-called often walking by the river will not get your shoes wet.Poor man, he never imagined that he would die tragically under the torture of beheading in the Yongzheng Dynasty...

I was distracted for too long, the ink from the tip of the pen fell on the rice paper, and the whole lowercase page I just wrote was stained. I sighed, picked it up and crumpled it up.Ever since I learned about Ting Lu's ending, whenever I saw his bright and happy face, my heart would twitch involuntarily, and I felt sorry for him.

Since they left, my mother hasn't mentioned the matter of the fingertips. I go to the dining hall to have dinner with my family on time every day, hoping to hear some news about the capital.Because the master also returned to Beijing a month ago, he sent someone to send letters back every once in a while. The people and things of the Zhang family were often mentioned in the letters, which was exactly what I wanted to know.For the rest of the time, I just stay in the room and write and read books to pass the time.

During this time, Yinti was entrusted by Tingyu to come and visit me often, and sometimes he would take me for a walk outside. Unfortunately, he finished his errands and returned to the capital with Mulan's father, Yao Wenyuan.I remember that before he left, he stayed in my room for a long time, and the attendant urged me several times but there was no movement, so he could only wink at me, begging me to say a few words for help.
