Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 111

Lin Yuan stayed in the Lin Mansion until the afternoon, and when she was about to return home, Qi Haoran came to pick her up first.She had previously told Qi Haoran that she was going back to the Lin Mansion, seeing him coming to pick her up, she was naturally happy in her heart.The two of them bid farewell to everyone in the Lin Mansion, and got into the carriage together to go back to the Hou Mansion.

Qi Haoran seemed to be very tired today, he got into the carriage and talked to Lin Yuan, then leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.Although the road was smooth and the carriage was not bumpy, it was not very comfortable after all. Seeing him like this, Lin Yuan asked Qi Haoran to lie down and sleep on her legs for a while.As a result, Lin Yuan suppressed the matter in her heart for the time being, and did not speak to Qi Haoran in a hurry.

I don't know if Qi Haoran was really too tired, or because Lin Yuan's legs were too comfortable for the pillow, he originally squinted and closed his eyes to rest for a while, but he just fell asleep like this.

It was Lin Yuan who woke up the carriage when it arrived at the Hou Mansion.The hazy drowsiness and hazy look subsided after a moment, Qi Haoran sat up, and reached out to rub Lin Yuan's legs that were sore and numb from his pillow.

"I accidentally fell asleep. My legs must be numb. I'll rub them for you."

Lin Yuan wanted to say that it had nothing to do with her and wanted to go back to the house first, but Qi Haoran didn't intend to listen to her at all, so she had no choice but to let Qi Haoran massage her.Qi Haoran lowered his head, and Lin Yuan also lowered his head to look at him.Noticing Lin Yuan's gaze, Qi Haoran was very calm.

"I heard from my mother that it seems that the imperial court is planning to appoint female officials. What's the matter?" Lin Yuan thought about the matter of Miss Meng's family, and it would be better to talk about it after meeting her mother-in-law, so she asked this first.

Qi Haoran didn't raise his head, maybe it was because he had just slept for a while, his voice was a little hoarse, but there was a different kind of temptation.

"There is such a thing. Are you interested in asking this question?" Qi Haoran asked again, "Is the leg still numb?" He straightened up and looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan moved her feet, and then replied, "It's not numb anymore." Then she added, "I don't know what happened, I can't say I'm interested, but I'm really curious."

She let Qi Haoran lead her out of the carriage and continued, "When I was in the academy earlier, Mr. Shen once told me in private that women can enter the academy to study and practice calligraphy, almost only in certain families. It happens inside. Even reading and calligraphy, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, are just for entertainment."

"Although learning is learned, it is very superficial, and there is nothing to look for after learning deep." Lin Yuan slowly sorted out her thoughts, "In Mr. Shen's words, it means learning No matter how much it is, it is useless, and no matter how capable it is, it can only be buried. If there is a place where people can use it, it will be different."

"Although the idea is good, it is not easy to implement it. The implementation of any new policy is not easy. Although the court is preparing for the time being, it is still uncertain whether it will be put into action. This is not It can be done overnight." Qi Haoran smiled, and said, "Although this one is not very easy, it will be much easier if women go to the academy to study and practice calligraphy like men."

Lin Yuan wanted to say that even if she could enter the academy to study, if she still went home and waited to get married after studying, it didn't seem to change anything.Thinking of Qi Haoran's words for a moment, he also knew that he was a little naive.Originally, only men were used to appoint officials by the imperial court. Even though women were allowed to compete fairly, there were still many unspeakable hardships.

Being excluded, distrusted, undervalued, absolutely disobedient, all seemed obvious.

There are even ridicules from fellow women, thinking that being public, not dignified, not reserved, does not conform to what a woman should look like.

Lin Yuan thought of this, and remembered her little aunt, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.It is a good thing to have these thoughts today, but it is indeed not an easy task as my husband said. The so-called preparations may still be at the stage of arguing whether it is feasible or not.

"Many things need to be done step by step, one step at a time. There is no rush." ​​Seeing Lin Yuan start to think, Qi Haoran said this sentence to her again.

Lin Yuan looked sideways at Qi Haoran, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, "My husband is very different from others."

Qi Haoran pinched her face, and said triumphantly, "Of course, being better looking and stronger than others, of course it's different from others."

Lin Yuan was teased by Qi Haoran with a "puchi" smile, shook her head, but didn't say what was in her heart. After all, Qi Haoran already understood what she wanted to say.

Lin Yuan thought of her father and brothers, and suddenly felt that most people who would sincerely respect and love her wives would not despise them.

Even if they just stay in a small courtyard, they will not feel that they are useless, even if what they do is just take care of some trivial matters and deal with a few restless servants, they will not feel the same. Change such thinking.

But there are still too many people who only regard women as men's vassals, who can only exist depending on men, and don't think they are of any great use.

Today, Lin Yuan once again sincerely feels that she is extremely lucky to be born into such a family.

Qi Haoran directly took Lin Yuan over to greet Zhu Bicong and Qi Mingsheng, and stayed in An Rong Yuan for dinner.During the period, Lin Yuan told her parents-in-law about the news she got in the Lin Mansion today.

After hearing this, Zhu Bicong smiled and said to Qi Mingcheng, "I don't know if there are any acquaintances and friends of the old lady in my hometown who have some relationship with this Ding family."

If there is such a male figure who has some relationship with the Ding family, it will be much easier to find someone who has some unclear relationship with the old lady.Since Ms. Meng said it herself, as long as the things they found fit with what they learned, the possibility of making mistakes is very small.

The truth of this matter is only a little bit away from everything being clear and plain, but for a while, everyone became less concerned about it, didn't care so much, put it aside for the time being, and waited for the time being. Let's talk about it later.

The wedding of the fourth princess, Li Yan and Lin Jing, was successfully completed in September. Li Yan and Lin Jing lived in the Princess Mansion, and Lin Jing's father, Lin Yuan's uncle, Lin Hao, also moved out of the Lin Mansion and lived in the Princess Mansion. Inside the house.

Li Yan finally came out of the palace, probably because she felt better about Lin Jing after getting in touch with her more intimately, and everything naturally went smoothly.

Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu were invited to the princess mansion as guests, and they naturally had no reason to refuse the invitation from the princess, so they went together.

Li Yan looked better than before, and she seemed to be in high spirits.Probably because of leaving the palace, even the original dignified appearance is a little less, the more it looks, the more intimate it is.

Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu more or less knew that this was just in front of them. To most people, they naturally didn't have such a good color, and they wouldn't have such intimacy.

"I can finally relax for two days. I used to go to pay my respects to the queen mother every day in the palace. Now I can feel a little more relaxed."

Li Yan asked the servant girl to serve tea to Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu, and said with a smile, "It's not easy for the little deer to be brought out of the palace by me. If we really set up a special place for it to live in, I was thinking that there should be a place for it to live." The woods are good, and it is better to let it run around from time to time than to keep it in the house."

"You said deer, but I remembered that I could eat roast venison from time to time when I was at the border."

Qi Yingyu's tone was too cheerful, and Li Yan immediately said, "Don't try to trick my little deer, it's just for fun, so I can feed it to you!"

"I just recalled it, how can I just think about eating your pet?" Qi Yingyu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "When the weather gets colder, let's go hunting together, at night It’s not bad to be able to barbecue around the bonfire, and by the way, call my brother, and also call Li Xuan, the princess can call the son-in-law, there are quite a few people.”

Lin Yuan looked at Qi Yingyu and asked her, "Should I take it along the way, or specially?"

Qi Yingyu immediately gave her a sideways glance, which made Li Yan laugh.

Li Yan smiled for a while, then remembered something, and said to Lin Yuan, "A while ago, I saw a stranger in the palace. I had a lot of things to do, so I walked around a lot, and there were a lot of things." I have seen her every time. It’s just that it’s still strange. How can ordinary people go to the palace so often? I asked someone to inquire about it, but I don’t know anything else. I just know that the lady’s surname is Meng, and every time I enter the palace, I don’t know. It's going to Du Zhaoyi's place."

When she heard that the lady's surname was Meng, Qi Yingyu didn't have any feelings, but Lin Yuan was a little sensitive, so she asked Li Yan, "But a lady about 14 years old, with an oval face, a pointed chin, a small mouth, almond-shaped eyes?"

Li Yan nodded, and said, "That's right, I didn't expect you to know. I just thought it was a bit strange, so I asked you about it. Since you know this person, you should go back and talk to your uncle." .”

Qi Haoran was working for the second prince, and if he told Qi Haoran, it meant that the second prince knew about it.

Because he is close to Du Zhaoyi, and Du Zhaoyi has taken refuge in the queen, whether he is related to the queen is not sure yet, but it is not normal to go in and out of the harem so frequently, so he can't ignore it.

Lin Yuan couldn't quite figure it out that Miss Meng should have no one else to turn to in the capital, so what did she rely on to get in and out of the harem?
