Chapter 319 Asking for a Title for My Sister
When Xie Hongyu was leaving, the cold-faced county magistrate personally saw her off.
But no one could notice anything unusual about him.
Xie Hongyu also thought that the county magistrate was trying to curry favor with Qingyin by sending them there, so she smiled at him in gratitude before leaving.
Zhan Heqing didn't move his fingers. When the words came to his lips, he only said dryly: "Bon voyage."
"Thank you, Lord Magistrate."
When he was lost, the woman who captured his heart and soul got on the boat and walked towards the rising sun.
……
Qingyin, who had learned the news early on and was already working in the Hanlin Academy, changed into an inconspicuous black robe and stood at the city gate, waiting for his sister to arrive.
The sun gradually sets in the evening, but the last glimmer of glory remains in the morning sun.
The pedestrians on the street did not notice that the man wearing the mask in the corner was the number one scholar who had amazed everyone in the capital that day. They just occasionally glanced at the young man with a handsome figure and a hint of surprise.
But after seeing the familiar Qingzhu driving the horse, Qingyin suppressed her excitement and walked forward. The people in the carriage also recognized the conspicuous adult by his familiar figure.
"grown ups?"
In the carriage, a woman's joyful voice came: "Yes, Ain?"
Qingzhu said happily, "Yes, Miss."
The door curtain was eagerly opened, revealing Xie Hongyu's familiar and charming face, which was tinged with paleness due to the long journey.
"Ain?"
Qingyin quietly lifted a corner of her veil, revealing her charming eyes, and smiled brilliantly: "Hey, sister, welcome to the capital."
The boy was as delicate as a painting, with beautiful eyes and eyebrows. The change was so great that it was a little scary, but Xie Hongyu still recognized the boy or girl she raised with her own hands at first sight.
She curved her eyebrows and said, "Ayin."
……
Xie Mansion, this mansion was bought by Qingyin with the money from selling some classical items he found on the road. It is not too big in the capital but not too small either.
The entire mansion looked just like the Xie Mansion in her memory. Xie Hongyu covered her mouth in surprise and walked closer to take a look. She looked at the huge sycamore tree in front of the gate and looked at Qingyin with red eyes: "How could it be...?"
She imagined the Xie Mansion of her childhood as still in good condition.
Although her father and mother always quarreled, she was so happy at that time, with the protection of her parents and the company of her relatives...
"Sister used to like telling me about our Xie Mansion. There was a big sycamore tree in front of the gate, a bamboo forest, a stream, and a rocking chair for reading in the courtyard. I asked people and finally found all the things. Sister, you are home."
So don’t be sad anymore, don’t be in pain anymore, I will wipe out all your hurts for you.
The young man stood in the sun, smiling gently, his fair skin seemed to glow, bright and warm.
Xie Hongyu raised her hand to pretend to block the dazzling sunlight and the tears that streaked across her eyes. "Okay, kid, stop standing in the sun and go back to the house."
Xie Hongyu pushed the boy, and the smile in her eyes disappeared.
Apart from the fragility caused by emotions, she is still the woman with a strong soul.
Qingyin smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. I'll get tanned if I get tanned."
"Okay, sister doesn't want your pretty face to get tanned." Xie Hongyu poked Qingyin's fair face and teased.
Maybe because it felt good, she couldn't help but poke it again.
As she was waiting to raise her hand, she saw the suspicious red spot on the boy's delicate face and turned her head away guiltily.
Changing the subject: "Okay, come inside."
Qinghe looked at the handsome young man who had a very close relationship with his wife and felt a little nervous. Firstly, because of the young man's stunning appearance, and secondly, because of the young man's identity. He was the newly crowned top scholar and a high-ranking official in the court. Qinghe secretly looked at Qingyin.
I just occasionally see a hint of familiarity, but I can't remember where it is.
When they got to the house, Qingyin sent everyone away, leaving only Ajie and Qinghe.
Looking at the curious and nervous Qing He, Qing Yin laughed and changed into a female voice: "Where is your courage from before? Didn't you call me a skinny monkey when you first saw me?"
Qinghe opened her eyes wide at the familiar title and voice.
Xie Hongyu glanced at Qing Yin who was making Qing He happy and said, "Okay, don't scare her silly. I only have one personal maid like this."
"Okay, okay, sister. I'll listen to you." The boy blinked his eyes mischievously, showing his smartness.
Xie Hongyu glared at her unhappily. She only had such a good sister who helped her revive the Xie Mansion and worked so hard to become the top scholar. How could she bear to be angry with her?
At this moment, Qinghe came back to her senses. She pointed at Qingyin and then at Xie Hongyu. Her fingers looked like they were having epilepsy, which made Qingyin laugh at her silly look again.
Qing He was so angry that she tried to cover Qing Yin's mouth with her hands to stop her from laughing.
The happiness of childhood and the familiarity of feelings easily aroused Qinghe's affection for her little friend, as if the contact had never been broken in these years.
After taking her elder sister over, Qingyin felt more confident doing her work in the court.
But recently, for some reason, the emperor who used to like her likes to make trouble for her, either suddenly asking for this or that, or suddenly asking her to rewrite the records she had written so well.
Qingyin couldn't figure out whether the Emperor liked her or hated her. If you said you liked her, then you picked on her for trouble. If you hated her, then these things were just small matters and in fact were not a big deal.
Qingyin couldn't understand his majesty's thoughts, so she could only deal with them as they came. She just patiently did whatever the emperor wanted.
After half a month, Qingyin suddenly discovered that Emperor Chongzhao would stare at her from time to time when he was handling memorials. He turned his head so many times that Qingyin felt tired for the emperor.
Sure enough, not long after, Qingyin heard the voice of His Majesty: "My dear, are you alone at home?"
The voice couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but Qingyin couldn't just say anything.
Although Emperor Chongzhao was always amiable in front of her and did not seem dangerous, if you really believed that you could say whatever you wanted in front of an emperor, you were a fool.
Qing Yin thought for a moment, then lowered her brows and said, "Your Majesty must have heard of my life story. I am just a homeless child. I was lucky enough to be picked up by my sister and survived."
"My sister is not a lucky person, because unfortunately she fell into a brothel. She used... that money to raise me, educate me to read, and open my mind. Only then could I be lucky enough to see Your Majesty."
"So, Your Majesty, if it weren't for my sister, there would be no me in this world."
……
Emperor Chongzhao rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little guilty as he watched the emperor recounting his past with a fragile face. He was also moved by the story of how Sister Xie Yin raised Xie Yin by being an oiran, so he waved his hand generously.
A life fell into Qingyin's hands.
"Madam Chastity," Qingyin lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.
After being conferred the title of emperor, no one dared to say anything about Ajie’s previous identity.
