Chapter 30 Dare to Love and Hate and Seek Results
"You still have to go back to study and prepare for the imperial examination." Mingzhao smiled gently, his tone caring, "Diligence makes one proficient, while idleness makes one lose. Don't neglect your studies."
Seeing that Yuan Qingchen's body was blocked and even the corner of his clothes could not be seen, Shi Jianliduo glanced at the back blocking her.
Yuan Qingchen's expression was a little depressed. "Cousin, the expression on your face when you said this is the same as my father's. The nephew resembles his uncle."
Mingzhao snorted softly, "Okay, you can come again next time for the Spring Examination."
My uncle's position should be transferred, and they will be able to return to Beijing within a year at the earliest.
"Look at how reluctant Chen'er looks, just like the last time when Lin'er went to Runan." Mrs. Yuan, who came out with Yuan Yuhe and Mingyuelin, teased.
"My second cousin said I would cry. I wonder if you are going to cry too?" Mingyuelin tiptoed over to look at Yuan Qingchen.
Yuan Qingchen patted her head and said, "Nonsense! You're accusing me of crying right away. How damaging to my image as a man!"
"Then you didn't damage my image last time?" She folded her hands and raised her chin.
"You've made me forget all the sadness of parting."
Mingyuelin chuckled, then shook hands with Yuan Wan and said goodbye.
Yuan Yuhe and Madam Yuan, her sister-in-law, were also a little reluctant to leave, and Yuan Yuhe gave them a lot of instructions.
Qiao Ruoying hurried over and said, "I had a headache before going to bed last night, and I got up a little late this morning. Am I not too late?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jianli stopped pretending to be serious and looked at Qiao Ruoying with concern.
"No, if you are not feeling well, just rest in the yard. We can meet again next time." Mrs. Yuan turned to look at Qiao Ruoying, sizing up her expression.
"It's such an important farewell, so of course I can't be absent."
While the masters were saying goodbye, the servants loaded the boxes onto the carriage.
Shi Jianli asked Xianyue and Lanxing, who were carrying the box together, to hand the box to the servants who were helping to move things.
Seeing the huge box, Yuan Wan asked, "What is this? Why does it need such a huge box? And you're still keeping quiet, like a snail girl?"
Shi Jianli smiled slightly and said, "The dress from Hua Shimeng and the rouge and powder from Qun Yu Pavilion are all I can give you. I hope you don't mind."
In fact, she envied and admired Yuan Wan's courage, her courage to love and hate, and her courage to seek results.
Yuan Wan held her hand and said with a smile, "Why would you dislike it? Many people want to buy it but can't. When we get to Runan, I'll send you some Runan specialties."
Although this girl's hands are soft, slender and delicate, one can still feel the thin calluses on them, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into archery.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
After all the things were loaded onto the carriage, everyone in the Duke's Mansion stepped forward to see them off.
Shi Jianli walked to Ming Zhouhe's side, but didn't pay attention to her feet, so she twisted her foot and fell forward.
Two hands came to support her at the same time, but she leaned back and stood up on her own, letting out a sigh of relief.
Mingzhao put his hands behind his back and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Be careful. There's a brick missing from the street in front of the door, and it hasn't been replaced yet. Does your ankle hurt?"
Shi Jianli turned her head to look at his concerned eyes and shook her head.
Ming Zhouhe glanced at Ming Zhaohuan, tugged on her sleeve and brought her to his side. "You must be careful when you walk. Luckily you didn't sprain your ankle, otherwise you would be in pain and unable to go out for a while."
She nodded obediently, "Okay."
Yuan Wan, who was standing in front, glanced back and saw that Mingzhao's eyes still had a gentleness that was different from usual. She was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.
The luggage had been packed, and my mother got on the front carriage, while Yuan Wan and her second brother got on the back carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Yuan Wan lifted the small curtain at the back of the carriage and waved to them, "Aunt, Auntie, Lin'er, go back. The morning air is chilly!"
Yuan Qingchen pushed her head away slightly and looked out with his chin supported.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Wan tilted her head.
Yuan Qingchen suddenly sighed and frowned at her. "I'm looking at Cousin Li. Do you think she would accept my feelings if I wrote her a letter?"
Yuan Wan was a little surprised, then looked at him with an indescribable expression, "If you don't tell me in person, what's the point of writing a letter? Will you ask Zhuge Liang about it later?"
Yuan Wan also liked such a thoughtful woman, and she didn't seem surprised at all that her second brother fell in love with her.
It seems that none of the elders, sisters and cousins in the Duke's Mansion dislike her. This is not to say that she is scheming, but because she treats people sincerely and with propriety.
"The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. You have no chance." Yuan Wan shook her head.
It turned out that she asked her cousin last night if he had a girl he liked, and he didn't answer because he already had the answer.
Yuan Wan felt a little sad. Perhaps the next time she came to the Duke's Mansion, there would be great changes in the mansion, or maybe she had received the marriage invitation in Runan first.
Her eldest cousin is not the type of person who just thinks but does nothing.
"What do you mean?"
"I won't tell you, so you guess."
It's really strange. After coming to the capital, she and her second brother have both left their hearts here. There must be something going on in this place.
When they returned home, Shi Jianli took Qiao Ruoying's arm and asked, "Aunt, were you feeling unwell last night?"
"I sat in the yard for too long yesterday afternoon and the wind blew on my head, so I had a headache that evening."
Shi Jianli looked at Lanxing and said, "Go ask the palace doctor to come and take a look."
"yes."
"It's okay to take a look. You can have breakfast now. If you don't need it, go to my hospital."
Shi Jianli first shook her head, then responded with a "yes".
Ming Zhouqing bumped Ming Zhouhe's shoulder with his shoulder and said, "Third brother, let's go hunting?"
"Okay, where are we going?" Ming Zhouhe stretched his waist. "Catch a live rabbit. My cousin will probably like it."
If you don't like it, just stew it.
"Cousin slave, go to the mountains outside the city." He scolded with a smile, then looked at Ming Zhaohuan, "Brother, are you going?"
"No, I'm meeting a friend. I'll go to Jining Marquis Mansion later." Mingzhao turned around and went to his own yard.
"Okay, let's go find someone else."
Ming Zhouhe stared at Ming Zhouqing for two breaths and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ming Zhouqing looked at him suspiciously.
"My cousin just said that I have become darker. You are much darker than me. Wearing white will make you look darker." Ming Zhouhe pulled him into the house and went back to change into riding clothes.
Ming Zhouqing elbowed him and said, "You are the whitest person in the camp. I feel like you will be the same as my eldest brother. You won't be too dark in the end."
"That's good. I'm used to seeing the days when I'm not a black egg."
"You have a thorn in your mouth. You almost called me a black egg."
…
Shi Jianli accompanied Qiao Ruoying to Qionghua Courtyard, and saw Ming Weishen was there too.
She greeted him, "Uncle."
Ming Weishen nodded amiably, "Come and chat with your aunt to relieve her boredom?"
Shi Jianli smiled and shook her head. "With my uncle here, it's not my turn to entertain my aunt. Just now, my aunt said she had a headache, and I was a little worried. I wanted to wait for the court doctor to come and check her pulse before I could feel at ease."
"You kid, you are teasing your aunt." Qiao Ruoying glanced at Ming Weishen and poked her head.
