Chapter 239 She went to the imperial city to pay New Year's greetings to her relatives
It was the Chinese New Year, so she asked Liu Qiaoer to meet another Qiaoer, just to let Liu Qiaoer know more people. If she did anything for her in the future, she would not have never heard of this person or that person. If that were the case, it would be difficult to do things.
After asking Liu Qiaoer to do something for her several times, Qin Li felt that this person was quite reliable and trustworthy. So when she and her parents went to the imperial city to greet her grandfathers, they took Liu, Ziqin, and Liu Qiaoer away.
Liu and the others are all distant relatives of Guo. They can take them to the imperial city and let them travel with them for a few days. Anyway, they all have to take passenger boats, so it is quite convenient to rush over all the way.
As for the wild pheasants at home, I gave them to Qinghe to feed her and also to help them see the door.
Before leaving home, Qin Li said to Qinghe: "I will come back before the Lantern Festival. When I come back, I will still eat the dumplings you made."
In the memory left to her by Qin Li, one day in the first month a few years ago, Qin Li went to the imperial city to visit relatives and brought a lot of pastries to Qinghe.
When he got home, Qin Li said to Qinghe: "I want to eat the dumplings you made. I have not got off the boat, so I just thought about it."
After hearing this, Qinghe's eyes showed uncontrollable joy, "Miss, sit down and wait a moment, and the maid will immediately cook dumplings for you."
Some past events appeared in her mind, and she took this opportunity to say the same thing to Qinghe.
Qinghe was still the same as before, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes and said, "Okay, Miss. I will definitely cook some dumplings for you after you come back. Miss, you will go to the imperial city to visit relatives and be safe all the way."
"It's great that Qinghe can talk." Guo narrowed his eyes and smiled. He liked this girl from the bottom of his heart, and asked this girl to help guard the door at home. They were all relieved.
Qinghe took a carriage to the port and sent Guo, Qin Li and others on board before returning home.
In the next few days, Qinghe would feed the wild pheasants on time, and would help Qin Li dry the herbs. At night, she would do some needlework and help the lady prepare some gifts for Bai Yunyao.
Because Bai Yunyao and He Chang were about to get married, the days were settled, just in early February.
The lady and Bai Yunyao are not only neighbors, close friends, but also good sisters who are not related by blood. Qinghe thought that when she had time, she would make more clothes and shoes for the children. Then she could give it to the lady and ask the lady to give it to Bai Yunyao and the couple.
One morning a few days later, Qinghe stood in the backyard, cleaning the yard with a broom. Suddenly, she heard a female voice coming from the other side of the yard wall.
She heard it, it was her neighbor Zhu's voice, so she stopped for a while, and it was clear what Zhu was saying.
"Mrs. Bai?"
Zhu stood on the wooden table, holding the courtyard wall and said to Qinghe:
"That's right, Qinghe, I went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy wild pheasants and came back to feed them. On the way back, I met a woman and asked me about Li'er."
"My lady is no longer at home." Qinghe said with a smile.
She knew about this, so she didn't say much. Because before going to the imperial city, the lady went to Bai Yunyao and the others to find Bai Yunyao and the others and told them something.
Zhu was very versatile and only talked about the key points:
"The woman told me that the woman who helped Chu Heng and the others deliver the letter last time was her daughter. It was her daughter who asked Miss Yu to help her and asked Li'er to do her a favor. This is the first month of the year, and she is not good for her to come to your mansion, so she asks Li'er to help her. She wants to wait until Li'er goes to the pharmacy to do work, and then go to see Li'er and mention it to Li'er."
Qinghe responded:
"Thank you, Mrs. Bai. When my lady comes back, I will tell her. Don't worry."
She heard the implicit meaning of the words. Zhu's meaning was to tell her that when she answered the woman's mother's words, she did not mention that her lady had already gone to the imperial city to wish her relatives a happy new year.
A hint of gratitude flashed through Qinghe's eyes. She knew that Mrs. Bai had always been understanding and would always think about them.
at the same time.
Qin Li had already arrived at the imperial city, accompanied by Shi Jinlin's wife and Du, and went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
This is the first time she has entered the palace as a human being in two lives.
In the original memory that Qin Li left her, there was only the scene of Qin Li playing in the imperial city, but no scene of Qin Li entering the palace. She didn't know if Qin Li had lived to this day, would she have the chance to go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
When I was at my grandfather's house, whether it was her grandmother, aunt, aunt and others, I was happy for her after I got the news.
Especially her eldest aunt, she was a relatively cold person. At least in the memory left to her by Qin Li, the eldest aunt never gave Qin Li New Year's money, and it was rare to show a smile to Qin Li.
But today, she is not exactly the same as she used to be, but her eldest aunt is still the same old aunt. When she learned that Empress Dowager Du invited Shi Jinlin's wife and Du came to the mansion to pick her up into the palace, she said that it was because she cured her illness and wanted to see her, a female doctor, that her eldest aunt performed better than anyone else.
He either gave gifts to Du, asked Du to give her a few good words in front of Empress Dowager Du, or gave gifts to Shi Jinlin's wife, asking her to help teach her, so that she would not lose her manners after entering the palace.
It gives ordinary people the feeling that the eldest aunt has changed her body and does not treat her as her niece at all, but treats her as her biological daughter.
Qin Li followed her aunt's wishes and praised the other party in front of everyone:
"In the past few years, all my relatives and friends have treated me well. Just look at how good my eldest aunt and I treat me, you will know. Don't worry, aunt and Li'er, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind. When I enter the palace later, I will act carefully."
Her eldest aunt heard this and looked happy, and hurriedly said to Du and the others:
"Our Li'er is so well-behaved and sensible. None of my daughters can make me feel so worry-free as much as her."
Qin Li felt contempt in her heart. If she hadn't taken care of her parents and had several other relatives in front of her, she would have asked her aunt:
What have you cared about me over the years?
I give my cousin and my cousin and others New Year’s money on weekdays, but have you ever given me a penny and made me happy too?
In these years, you have to pay me New Year's money. Even if your relatives from your parents come and someone deliberately provokes me and puts lard on my clothes, you will only protect your parents' relatives.
When did you stand on a fair standpoint and say a word for me?
None!
On the contrary, the second aunt, who was born in a scholarly family, has always cared for her for many years. However, under normal circumstances, the second aunt only takes action, but rarely expresses anything from words.
So after some uninformed people went to the Guo Mansion, they only knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family was good at speaking and was indeed good. However, few people knew that the daughter-in-law who was really good to her family and relatives was actually the second daughter-in-law of the Guo family.
Including her trip to the palace this time, she secretly gave her some good amethyst jewelry and asked her to bring it into the palace to the Queen Mother and the people in the Queen Mother's harem, her second aunt is still her second aunt.
