Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 160: Viewing

Yu Jingyan did not leave. The betrothal gifts had not yet arrived at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. In other words, the betrothal was still in progress. How could he leave? He had to wait until the betrothal was completed before he could leave.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the betrothal gifts were all in the East Palace. After the Emperor and Concubine Yun left, the old Duchess's wife and Qiao Peng also went to the East Palace. It was not a good idea to let the officials of the Ministry of Rites be self-sufficient all the time.

Qiao Zhen had undoubtedly skipped classes again today. This kid had been watching over his sister's dowry in the East Palace and entertaining the Imperial Guards who delivered the dowry with meals, tea and gifts. He was so busy that he didn't even come back for lunch.

What would this family do without him? The East Palace is so big, with so many officials from the Ministry of Rites and so many royal guards who carry the dowry, and he is the one who entertains them all.

Butler, although I am not tall, I hope you won’t ignore me, young master.

Qiao Lili, aren't you afraid that you won't have enough to eat when you're with the emperor, so you stayed in the East Palace to eat the buffet?

Compared to the bustling East Mansion, the Duke's Mansion was much quieter. Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan were walking hand in hand in the garden. Most of the maids and servants went to the East Mansion, and the rest were tactful and stayed away.

The paths in the garden are ordinary, the grass and trees are sparse, only the chrysanthemums are gorgeous. The autumn bushes around the house are like those of Tao's house, and the sun is getting lower and lower around the fence.

"Ali, are you happy today?" Yu Jingyan looked at the little girl he missed so much and asked softly. During these days in Ganjiang, he hadn't fallen asleep without thinking about her, and then he would get up in the middle of the night to rush to work, and he actually brought his return date forward by nearly a month.

"Yeah." Qiao Lili answered with a blushing face. In fact, she didn't mind the amount of the betrothal gift. With Brother Ajing and Aunt Yun around, her heart seemed to have a sense of belonging. She finally stopped drifting and could rest in peace.

Watching Qiao Lili's face turning redder and redder, even her earlobes turned as red as red coral beads, as if they could drip at any time, Yu Jingyan's heart began to beat.

He gently held Qiao Lili in his arms and kissed the top of her head with his lips. Qiao Lili struggled slightly. In this busy garden, Ajing was too presumptuous. Suddenly, she felt a pair of soft lips touching the top of her head, and her whole body froze.

As if sensing Qiao Lili's shyness, Yu Jingyan's lips left hers as soon as they touched her. He brushed Qiao Lili's messy hair behind her ears, and then he saw Qiao Lili's red coral-like earlobes. Oh, I really want to take a bite, what should I do?

Yu Jingyan thought to himself, and immediately despised himself for this idea. In broad daylight, he was a scoundrel, truly a scoundrel.

In order to hide his inner thoughts, he held Qiao Lili's hand and continued walking along the garden path, not daring to look at Qiao Lili again. Little did he know that this walk would lead them to Lu Ping Garden.

The three words on the gate were written in a simple and cute style, with a bit of innocence and seriousness. It was obvious at first glance that they were written by a child.

"Ali, is this your childhood handwriting? How old were you when you wrote it?" Yu Jingyan was attracted by the three words "Lupingyuan". He imagined how adorable little Ali must be, holding a big brush and struggling to write.

"Maybe, I was seven or eight years old." Qiao Lili didn't remember it clearly. She had lived two lives, and many unimportant things in her childhood seemed vague and not very real to her.

When he was about seven or eight years old, Yu Jingyan still remembered, "Your handwriting was so good back then." Although the handwriting was immature, it was very elegant. Also, if it was not written well, Qiao Lili would definitely feel embarrassed when she grew up and would not have continued to use this plaque without getting a new one.

Looking at these three words more carefully, they actually seem familiar. What?

"Ah Jing, did you figure it out?" The Dingguo Mansion values ​​military merit over literature. Regardless of gender, all children must learn martial arts from birth, but the amount of studying varies from person to person. Qiao Zhen is a special case because the old Duke's wife didn't want another child to go to the border to fight, so she only let him study and not let him practice martial arts.

Therefore, there is a ready-made martial arts master at home, but there is no teacher. Qiao Lili relies entirely on her mother. However, her mother also grew up in the Langshan School and has learned a lot of martial arts. She is able to eliminate tyrants and protect the good, and can ride a horse on the battlefield. Qiao Lili is quite talented in studying, so Wen Xi is a little overwhelmed to teach her.

When they met one time, he told Yun Fei about his worries. The next time they met, Yun Fei brought a lot of books on educating children, as well as calligraphy copies she wrote herself. Later, almost every time they met, Yun Fei would bring books and calligraphy copies for Qiao Lili.

"When I was a child, I learned calligraphy using Aunt Yun's copybook." Qiao Lili said proudly. Yun Fei, a talented girl from Yunmengze, was both civil and military, and she was extremely talented. She could be considered half a disciple of Aunt Yun.

At this time, Yu Jingyan also remembered that it was true. Every time they got together, his mother would always bring the books he had read to Shangchun Mountain. His enlightenment was arranged by Emperor Yong'an alone, without any help from others. He became a disciple of the Grand Tutor two years after his enlightenment. He started his enlightenment at the age of four, and was six years old when he officially became a disciple of the Grand Tutor.

"Won't you invite me in and sit for a while?" This is Ali's boudoir. What does Ali's boudoir look like? He really wants to take a look. At this moment, his heart has already passed the three-character plaque and entered Lu Pingyuan.

It is indeed against the rules to invite a man outside her home into her bedroom, but today they have already gone through the betrothal ceremony and are truly an engaged couple. Moreover, when they were in Ganjiang, they lived in the same yard and even slept in the same bed. It would be a bit hypocritical to worry about the rules at this moment.

"I just have something to tell you, so please come in." When Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan arrived at Lu Pingyuan, Cai Ge and Nanny Sun, who stayed behind in Lu Pingyuan, had received the news, had already opened the door, and were waiting inside.

Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan walked into Lu Ping Garden. "Greetings to the Sixth Prince." "Greetings to the Sixth Prince." "May the Sixth Prince be blessed with good health." The maids and servants all knelt down to salute, and there were also voices of greetings coming one after another.

"No need to be polite," Yu Jingyan saw these twenty or thirty maids and servants. His little A-li grew up under the care and company of these people, so he was delighted. "You have done a great service in taking care of the prince's wife. Come quickly and see the reward."

Kuailai and Kuaiqu, who had been in invisible state, appeared when Yu Jingyan arrived at the gate of Lu Pingyuan. They followed behind Yu Jingyan. When they heard their master ask for a reward, they quickly took out the purses they carried with them. All the servants in Lu Pingyuan got a small gold ingot.

Caiqin, Caiwei, Caiqi, Caixing, Caige and Nanny Sun who were beside Qiao Lili were also rewarded with a small gold ingot. For a while, there were voices of gratitude one after another in Luping Garden.

Qiao Lili looked at her maids who were all smiling, and felt very sad. Emperor Yong'an was so poor that he could only reward others with calligraphy, but the Sixth Prince rewarded people with gold ingots. It seemed that the emperor could not be treated casually.
