Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

This act of rewarding and punishing in secret, the focus is on this reward.

Both Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan are meritorious ministers, and the person who bestows marriage must not only have sufficient talent and appearance, but also have a certain status.In terms of appearance, the daughter of Duke Qin in Guangling City and the daughter of Duke Xu in Yuexi City are both beautiful and talented.In terms of status, the third daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family, and the fifth daughter of the Marshal of Bingma's house are all famous and distinguished family members.But these few people are really famous, and the forces behind them are intricate, and each has its own advantages. If they are not well matched, they will easily lose balance.It's not like what Emperor Yulong would do to cause trouble for himself.

"So the emperor thought of our Ling family in Wujun?" Ling Qiufan frowned beautifully, his heart was turbulent, he didn't expect that there was such a foresight behind the gift of marriage, he really didn't know whether to say that he should be called the emperor's sage, or that he was suspicious It's terrible to reach this level.

Ling Jiang nodded, the breeze came from the window sill, and the flickering candles cast flickering light and shadows on Ling Jiang's face, "I don't care about power, and I live in a corner far away from the court. Although I have status, I don't have complicated power. This is enough to satisfy the emperor. In addition..." He paused, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the next tone was full of bitterness in pride, "Plus, my Ling family happens to have two excellent daughters, Not only is the status enough, but the talent and appearance are not inferior to others, and the marriage and meritorious officials will never lose the royal face."

Ling Qiufan understood the meaning, slowly shook his head and continued her father's words: "Coincidentally, the two of us, sisters and concubines, have no distinction between concubine and concubine, we have received the same education since childhood, and we have enjoyed the same share. For example. To be married to two courtiers at the same time is perfect for balancing the power in the court."

"That's right." Ling Jiang's voice was already a little hoarse, he really needed a good rest, otherwise he might not be able to stand upright in the lobby and send the two daughters into the fire pit with his own hands tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiang became more and more painful, and his brows frowned more and more tightly.Knowing that his heart hurts, Ling Qiu walked around behind the chair, put both hands on Ling Jiang's shoulders, and rubbed them moderately. "Daddy, don't be like this. If you are like this, it will be hard for your daughter to rest assured."

Ling Jiang squeezed out a smile with difficulty, put his big rough hand on the slender hand that was kneading the shoulder and patted it soothingly, "Good boy."

"Father." Ling Qiufan used an ancient saying to comfort her father, she said: "Fortune is where misfortune lies, and fortune rests on blessing. If you go to the capital, you will never know that it is not a blessing."

Since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Will this marriage be a blessing for their sisters?

How do you know it's not a blessing?How do you know it's not a blessing?

Ling Jiang chewed and tasted these words over and over in his mouth, only to feel a bit of sweetness in the sourness, which flowed to the root of his tongue, which was unspeakably bitter. "How could it be a blessing...Qiu'er, your thinking is too simple."

"What did daddy say?" Ling Qiufan regretted his slip of the tongue. Originally, he just wanted to comfort his father with an old saying, but found that this sentence seemed to touch a nerve in his father, but made him even more sad.It would be nice if I didn't say this just now.

Ling Jiang didn't know that his daughter was desperately blaming herself because of this comforting words, and continued to talk about his own thoughts, "Since I, the Jiangnan prefect who doesn't ask about the court, can see it, the two adults must see it even more. Thorough. Your sisters don't want to marry, and they don't want to marry either."

"Daddy, did you hear about it?" Ling Qiufan half clenched his massaging palm into a fist, and beat down along the swollen and sore meridians behind Ling Jiang.

"It's not just what I heard." Ling Jiang shook his head, "You guys don't know about it when you live in the boudoir, but it's spread all over the outside world. Wei Yueyan listened to the imperial decree at the gate of the jade gate, and after listening to it, he drew his sword on the spot to resist the decree and was punished by the imperial envoy. Thirty army sticks and stretchers were carried all the way from Yumen Pass to the door of the emperor's imperial study. Qu Quan Xiatai received the decree, and after listening to it, he held the hand of Xuanzhi's father-in-law on the spot and cried out of breath. I knelt in front of the door for two days and two nights without a drop of rice."

It was indeed the first time for Ling Qiufan to hear about this matter, in her opinion, although the two ministers did not like this marriage, they were marrying a daughter-in-law at any rate, and no matter how unwilling they were, they would never reach such a point.Can't help but sigh, "It sounds pitiful."

"Poor?" Ling Jiang smiled, "It's just a trick."

"No, Daddy." Ling Qiufan shook his head, "It's really pitiful."

Ling Jiang remained silent, waiting for her daughter to continue.

"My daughter believes that no matter what these two adults have done wrong to make the emperor dissatisfied, just because they are appointed as women to worship officials and show their ambitions in the three-foot court, they should be able to take on the role of "heroes among women." 'Four characters.'" Ling Qiu's eyes sparkled, and the look of longing was palpable, "They could have chosen a satisfactory husband and son-in-law, and supported each other in the precarious court. When they are old, they will retire and return home to spend their old age together , enjoying the happiness of descendants around their knees."

"A piece of imperial decree deprived them of the happiness of the rest of their lives. We are really pitiful, why don't they feel sad?"

When the words fell, Ling Qiufan sighed softly.

In the world of Great Xia, except for the emperor's family, everyone is like ants.

Prefect's Mansion, Autumn Fragrant Boudoir

Ling Qiufan entered the room with a tired face, and as soon as she sat on the bed, someone hugged her from behind, which made her cry out in shock.After seeing the person clearly, he blamed softly, "Xue Ji? Why did you come into my room?"

"Oh my sister." Ling Xueji stuck to her sister like a brown candy and refused to get off, "We two sisters have rarely slept together since we grew up, let me sleep here today, okay~~ "

Ling Qiufan frowned after being troubled by her, but now hearing what she said, he thought that from now on, when he entered the General's Mansion and then entered the Minister's Mansion, even though they are both in the capital, they are as far apart as the world, and he doesn't know when they will meet again.I don't know if there is another chance to fight like this.Thinking of this, she turned around and hugged her only biological sister into her arms, without saying a word for a long time.

"Sister?" Ling Xueji was surprised and delighted to be hugged suddenly by her sister, but she soon felt the deep sadness coming from her sister, and her joyful mood sank to the bottom of the water.

"Sister, did daddy say anything to you just now?" Ling Xueji was hugged by her sister for a long time, but her mind was spinning rapidly, always wanting to say something to make her sister happy and break the depression at the moment.

"Daddy said that we should wake up early tomorrow and go to the study to find him, and he wants to lecture us." Ling Qiufan rested his chin on his sister's shoulder, greedily smelling the sweet scent on her body.You must remember this taste, and if you live alone in the Shangshu Mansion in the future, this memory will be the only one you can accompany.

"Hahaha." Ling Xueji laughed happily, but found that her laughter was extremely dry, tears had already filled her eyes, and her eyes looked like crescent moons in water revealing a clean and simple sadness, "Daddy wants us to get up early again to listen to He has lectured, and he doesn’t know what he will tell us tomorrow, whether to tell me to stop pestering you to dig out the bird’s nest, or to ask you to teach me how to do female red embroidery.”

"Xueji, you reminded me." Ling Qiu smiled and straightened Ling Xueji, his face brightened.But no matter how she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the obvious blush around her eyes.

"What did I remind you?" Ling Xueji looked curious, raised her hand and wiped away her tears, waiting expectantly for her sister's words.

"Let's go, let's go to the garden." After saying that, Ling Qiufan got up and took a coat from the shelf next to the bed, put it on his sister, and pulled him out of the door.

The two sisters ran lightly all the way, the colorful silk wrapped around their waists and arms dancing with the wind, passing through countless pavilions and pavilions, and came to a crooked neck tree in the garden.On the night of mid-spring, the evening breeze blows.Standing in the garden, bursts of fragrance are brought by the wind and enter the tip of the nose, immediately sweeping away most of the strong melancholy.

Ling Qiufan took his younger sister's hand and motioned her to look up at the tree.

"Hey, sister~ Isn't this the bird's nest that the two of us secretly dug out when we were young? In the end, my dad found out, and he slapped my palm hard." Ling Xueji suddenly remembered something, and his eyes rolled into a bright smile. It must be me, but you are the one who cried the hardest~~haha~"

Ling Qiu smiled dotingly and didn't say much about her childhood, she fetched a long feeding pole from the side, with a hook attached to it.Carefully removed the nest, the two young birds that were already able to fly in it chirped twice, and looked at the sisters curiously.

"This kind of bird is called 'Hydrangea'. Not only is it exquisite and cute, but it also has a skill." Ling Qiufan winked mischievously at his sister, and carefully held the two birds in his palms.Although these two hydrangea birds can already fly and separated from their mother birds, but because they eat the feed made by the hands that held them up and are familiar with the smell of their masters, they stay peacefully in Ling Qiufan's hands, Not kidding.

"What kind of ability is it? Sister, tell me!" Ling Xueji was even more excited when she heard that such a cute bird has a unique ability.She has a simple mind, and she has long forgotten the original sadness when encountering such new and interesting things.

Ling Qiufan smiled slyly, opened and closed his rouge lips lightly, and spit out two words that made Ling Xueji almost crazy, "Send a message."

"Oh my god, that's great, that's great! I was worried that I didn't have pigeons at home during the day, so I asked my nanny to go out to buy them, but I missed the morning market and couldn't find any good ones. My sister gave me a pair right now!"

"How can I give you both." Ling Qiu looked at his younger sister dotingly, and put the orange-red one into the other's palm, while he continued to hold the apricot-yellow one. "These two are just sisters. They grew up together and never separated. Just like you and me."

"Sister..." Ling Xueji's nose turned sour when she heard these words, and the tears that she had tried so hard to hold back during the day fell down her cheeks without hesitation at this moment.No matter how much she insisted, no matter how proud she was, she was nothing in front of her own sister.

Ling Qiufan held the hydrangea bird in one hand, and freed up the other hand to wipe away tears for his younger sister, but his own tears fell more and more, and under the clear moonlight, his face was full of wet marks. "The hydrangea bird raised together is the most psychic, and you can find each other thousands of miles away. When you miss your sister in the future, just write in the letter and ask the bird to send it. It's like living with your sister."

They will fly over high courtyard walls, over the huge capital city, and fly to their sisters after going through untold hardships.Bring you and my thoughts to each other.

They depend on each other and never leave each other.
