What she didn't expect was that her cousin's thighs were unusually thick.
And her cousin Ah Xu, and her cousin Ling'er, were all beyond her imagination.
If she had known, she shouldn't have gotten married; she should have just gone with her cousin.
Xia Minxin arrived, and Qiu Xu asked Sun Wan to accompany her and buy her some things.
Qiu Ling'er and Sun Wan accompanied her, strolling along the street, which broadened Xia Minxin's horizons.
Shangjin City is really huge, many times larger than Huaiyuan City...
…………
"Cousin, can you arrange a job for me?" Xia Minxin asked Qiu Yan while holding Xiao Qing'er in the main room.
"Xin'er is new here, so she should stay with her cousin." Qiu Yan is the older cousin, and she can easily support this younger cousin.
Xia Minxin pursed her lips: "But my cousin doesn't lack people to serve her."
She was never one to sit idly by.
She felt that since she didn't work, no one had any responsibility to support her.
She had originally planned to stay by Qiu Yan's side, taking care of her daily life and Xiao Qing'er.
But when she arrived at Shangjin, she discovered that her cousin had simply returned home without any attendants.
My cousin was accompanied by Feng Hua Liu Sha, Xue Ning and his four companions, as well as numerous servants.
She was utterly insignificant among them.
Qiu Yan: "Little cousin, how about learning medical principles from your older cousin?"
Ling'er was trained by her, as was Sister Susu, whom she mentored later in life. Xiao Ran was also trained by her, and Gao Chong, though trained later, now possesses considerable medical skills.
Qiu Yan enjoys nurturing; she relishes the intangible sense of accomplishment it brings.
"Okay, thank you, cousin." Xia Minxin was touched.
Because of her older sister, her family was relatively well-off, and she even attended her cousin's Lingxin Academy.
Thus, he could be considered to have thoroughly read the classics.
Xia Minxin was the only one studying medicine, which she found tedious. She would drag Ling Ba along every day and ask him for advice from time to time.
Ling Bazhenzhen doesn't know anything about medicine either.
Because of Xia Minxin's question, he had no choice but to ask Qiu Yan for advice.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, if she had known Ling Baxi was a doctor all these years ago, she would have trained him long ago...
The time spent in Shangjin City was joyful and tender.
In that same year, the former Minister of War retired to his hometown, and Qiu Xu, with his superior abilities, took over as Minister of War. He rose step by step to the position of a third-rank official, becoming the same rank as his father-in-law.
Gu Qian, on the other hand, drilled his soldiers daily and cultivated capable generals to enhance the nation's prestige.
In addition, he was also heavily involved in matters of state.
He Lin entrusted many diplomatic matters to Gu Qian, simply because Gu Qian's adaptability was the strongest in the court.
Qiu Yan's business continued as usual. Every now and then, she would take her little daughter to the palace to meet with Mayi and discuss business matters.
In recent days, another person has been added.
That was Qin Susu.
In recent years, Qin Susu has also visited Wangyoutang daily.
However, when she learned that Qiu Yan could occasionally go to the palace to meet with Mayi, she couldn't help but think of her trip to the Western Regions. She missed her previous life very much, so she pestered Qiu Yan to go with her.
Even though Mayi was locked away in the deep palace, she longed to be reunited with the two men every day.
...That year, Gu Qian went to the Northern Desert again.
reason,
A rebellion has broken out again in the northern desert.
This time, Gu Qian went in military uniform.
Also traveling with them were Ling Ba, Ling Yun, and Ling Zhi.
On the day of departure,
Qiu Yan and the children bid each other a reluctant farewell.
They had only recently come from Baiyang, and they were truly reluctant to let their husbands travel such a long distance.
Her husband was also tall and handsome, and Qiu Yan hoped that he would return home soon.
She originally wanted to go with them.
However, apart from her husband refusing and telling her to stay home and wait for him to return,
The eldest son, Gu Chengyin, also requested to go.
There's a saying that goes,
Like father, like son!
This time, Gu Chengyin was determined to fight alongside her father.
He said he was already thirteen years old, and couldn't be any less advanced than his father was at that age.
Gu Qian tacitly agreed, and Qiu Yan also tacitly agreed.
He only taught Gu Chengyin.
Do not act recklessly or make decisions on your own; obey your father's orders.
Gu Qian led his army on a campaign that lasted for nearly a year.
During this time, in addition to Ling Ba, Ling Yun, and Ling Zhi, Ling Qi and his son, who were in Qin County, also met in the Northern Desert.
For more than a year, Gu Qian had been in the Northern Desert, and wherever he went, his wife and children were always with him.
He was constantly thinking about ending the war as soon as possible.
Fortunately, a year later, the rebel faction was completely eradicated, its roots cut off.
For the past fifty years or so, the northern desert has been completely flat.
The local garrison commander was replaced by Ling Yun and Ling Zhi.
They returned home with their wives and children, and settled in the northern desert.
How long did Gu Qian and his son leave, and how long did Qiu Yan recite their names?
Gu Qian returned in triumph, his military exploits numerous.
He Lin was at a loss for how to reward Gu Qian.
Gu Qian had already been second only to the emperor and above tens of thousands of people for many years.
Because of Qiu Yan, He Lin made a fortune through trade in gold and silver.
It's easy to imagine that Gu Qian has countless riches; he's not short of money.
When He Lin asked Gu Qian...
What should I give you as a reward?
Gu Qian replied, "The best reward would be to allow me to retire from the military and return to my hometown."
"Dream on!" He Lin shook his head. "Dongjin can't live without you, and Jin'er can't live without you either."
"It's not that Dongjin can't live without me, nor that Xiaoran can't live without me; it's that you want to live a carefree and happy life." Gu Qian hit the nail on the head.
He Lin smiled awkwardly.
Because Gu Qian handled many government affairs for him, He Jinran was the one who took care of the memorials to the emperor.
Therefore, his days were exceptionally leisurely.
He pondered this day and night, always thinking of visiting Lingnan Village.
He wanted to bring back Shu'er's remains more than once.
For this reason, he sought help from Jin'er.
And so, today, inside the Eastern Palace, he came to ask He Jinran for help again.
"Jin'er, your father wishes to bury your mother in the imperial mausoleum."
He Jinran: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He Lin: "Jin'er, can you, on behalf of your father, properly discuss this with your maternal grandparents?"
He Jinran: Why don't you say it yourself?
He Lin: "Help my father." When he was alive, he thought about it day and night, never imagining that he would still not see him after he passed away.
Whenever he thought of this, his heart ached.
He Jinran shook his head.
"Father, no, Grandpa and Grandma will not agree."
He Lin: "That's why Father Emperor asked you for help."
"You overestimate me, Father. I truly am powerless to help you with this matter." He Jinran was at a loss for how to comfort his father.
"Jin'er..."
“Father, that was Mother’s wish. You have already imprisoned her for many days and nights, so please do not disturb her peace any further. If Mother were alive, she probably wouldn’t come again.”
He Lin was so shocked by He Jinran's words that he lost control of his breathing.
Shuer, why won't you give me a chance to make amends?
Today's discussion failed to reach an agreement.
He Jinran felt sad as he looked at his father's increasingly empty heart as he grew older.
But he was truly helpless...
