The answer given by Pastry
Jade Ming Jade Inkstone did not surprise Qiu Che.
One of them learned arithmetic and the other learned martial arts from the invited masters, and they were all pretty good.
Before leaving the Qiu family, Qiu Che also visited the Hanlin Academy.
This is the first day for a new official to take office, and most of them are trivial matters that need to be handled before joining the company. However, as the new top scholar, Qiu Che can still feel that many eyes are on him.
She was on duty normally, but when she said her name, she was looked at strangely for a few times, and then she realized that her father came to ask for leave for her yesterday.
Qiu Chudong said that she had made a big mistake and was punished by having to go to Ganyu Temple outside the city for a month to pray, and that he would deliver all the official documents every day.
The matter has been sealed, even through Prime Minister Wu's explicit consent, and cannot be changed.
Only then did Qiu Che remember that in her previous life, before she became the Minister of Rites, the laws were not strict and she still followed the old system of the previous dynasty.
And this old law says that when there is no emperor's order, the father's words should be the order.
In other words, even if Qiu Che says now that she can come on duty, and another day in autumn or early winter as her father, she will be kicked out of the Hanlin Academy without Qiu Che's consent.
The imperial power and patriarchal power of Daxia have reached the point where they are rooted in laws.
Fortunately, Qiu Che still remembered the political situation ten years ago, so he felt comfortable without having to go on duty.
But before leaving Beijing, she wrote a note and handed it over.
If the emperor is truly thirsty for talents, he should understand the meaning of her words.
However, the excerpts submitted to the memorial had to go through the three supervisory gates of the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and Prime Minister Wu. Judging from Prime Minister Wu's current overwhelming power... whether the excerpts could reach the emperor's hands depended entirely on luck.
When Wang heard that she was going to the temple to pray for blessings instead of separating the family, she was relieved and insisted on staying.
She is a woman with small feet. She has been living in a deep house all her life. She has long been used to it and does not want to run around.
Qiu Che thought for a while and stopped trying to persuade him.
Anyway, I haven't received my salary yet. With Wang's body, it would be a hell to follow her to live in a temple.
Although this sin is still much more comfortable than Qiu Mansion, at least there is no need to wash and cook every day.
But Wang insisted on this, so Qiu Che was not impatient, and moved out of Qiu Mansion that night.
She only brought two girls, Yu Ming and Yu Yan, and left with two baggage on her back. Because she didn't have a horse, she temporarily cheated her father of a sum of money to buy a carriage.
The implication is that the road is so far and you are not willing to give me the carriage at home.
ââIf I really have to walk there directly, then I wonât leave.
Qiu Chudong's face turned black with anger, but in order to send this plague god away quickly, he paid for her with a dark face.
When we took a long carriage ride to Ganyu Temple, there was only a young monk who came out to greet us.
This is normal. Today's Qiu family is not a big family, but Ganyu Temple is a temple often visited by royal relatives and nobles. It is impossible to welcome her, a concubine of the Qiu family, with a big fanfare.
Even though she is now the most watched No. 1 scholar in modern science.
After the two parties greeted each other, the young monk Liao Chan led the way for them.
When passing by one of the courtyards of Ganyu Temple, two girls dressed as maids opened the door, and a figure stepped out from behind them.
The man was covered with a bamboo hat and a thick gauze pocket, and his whole face could not be seen clearly, but he had a slender figure, wearing a goose-yellow green willow dress with tassels hanging low on his waist. Every move he made was elegant and dignified.
Even if you can't see the face, you can still tell that the owner must be gentle, polite, and extremely well-educated.
Qiu Che felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The young monk quickly stopped him in a low voice: "Donor Qiu, this is a distinguished guest from the palace, so you must not be rude!" But
the two maids had already noticed her gaze, raised their eyebrows, and stared at her fiercely. .
From the palace...?
Qiu Che's eyes moved slightly.
She looked away, bowed calmly to apologize, and then was about to leave when she was stopped again.
"Wait a minute."
The voice was soft and gentle. Like the spring breeze blowing on the face and the drizzle.
Everyone couldn't help but stop.
Qiu Che looked back and raised his eyebrows.
The woman under the veil seemed to shift her vision, avoiding Qiu Che's inspection without moving, and then asked softly: "This young master is...?"
"My surname is Qiu, and my last name is Che."
" Mr. Qiu." She murmured, and then asked, "It turns out that he is the number one scholar in the capital recently. He is really good-looking... I wonder why Mr. Qiu came to Ganyu Temple today?
" Qiu Che smiled, "But I have to stay in Ganyu Temple for a month. Please forgive me if I disturb the girl in the future."
"It's okay." Li Qingwu raised his hand to signal to the two people behind him who were hesitant to speak . The maid didn't say anything, "It's fate that we meet each other. If you are free, young master, you can always come and sit in our courtyard."
They were all polite words, Qiu Che understood.
She nodded and said smoothly: "I don't know the girl's name?"
Li Qingwu paused, put his arm on the maid's support, and said in a low voice, "My surname is Yue."
After Li Qingwu and the maid walked away together, he relaxed a little. His tone: "Donor Qiu, your wing is not far away... But I advise you not to have too much contact with this girl."
Qiu Che came back to his senses: "Why?"
"Amitabha." He paused for a moment . After looking at it, he explained in a low voice hesitantly: "This benefactor is here to worship Buddha, pray for blessings, copy scriptures and meditate on his past mistakes. I am afraid that he has offended some noble person in the palace... If the benefactor does not want to be burned, it is better to stay away."
Qiu Che nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you little master for reminding me."
The little monk recited another Buddhist saying and stopped talking.
As Qiu Che expected, no official documents were delivered to her in the three days after she arrived at Ganyu Temple.
Autumn and early winter are intentional.
However, having official documents piled up at his place saved Qiu Che a lot of trouble. When the time came to blame him, it would also be Qiu Chudong's crime.
Qiu Che was so happy to be able to use the hole he dug to trick himself, thinking about his pig liver-colored face in autumn and early winter.
During the three days she was bored in her room, she kept reading books, recalling the current officialdom and legal system, and making some interesting small wood carvings by the way.
Carpentry was her hobby in the past, and her specialty was carving lotus flowers, such as lotus lanterns and lotus boxes... She was a master of craftsmanship.
But I havenât done it for a long time, and itâs still a bit unfamiliar at the moment.
Yuming saw it once and asked curiously: "Master, will you do this again?"
Qiu Che then said casually: "Do you want it?" Give you one. "
She made a bunch of them and piled them all in the box. Yu Ming declined a few words and saw that she was not being polite, so he took one.
Yu Yan saw it and looked for Qiu Che with great interest.
The other party waved his hand and gave it away again . Got her two.
A few days later, Qiu Che's peaceful life was finally interrupted.
That day, as soon as she got up, she heard a knock on the door outside.
Opening the door, a familiar maid stood at the door holding a plate and said respectfully: "Mr. Qiu, excuse me. This is a snack my girl ordered to bring. It was made in the kitchen of the temple. Please taste it together."
Qiu Che glanced at the beautifully packaged mung bean cake box and was silent for a moment.
The maid looked at her eyes and said, "My girl said that if the young master doesn't accept the snack, then I can't refuse to invite you over for tea, right?"
"..."
This is Qiu Che's first time in these days. Stepping out of the wing door once.
Yuming Yuyan has been busy studying these days, and there is no one around her to wait on her, so she went to this invitation alone.
As he walked, Qiu Che looked at the back of the maid in front of him, thinking about some of the strange things that had happened since her rebirth.
In her life, she had never flattered Qiu Chudong with a low eyebrow, so Qiu Chudong also fell out with her early and even sent her to Ganyu Temple.
This was the impact of her rebirth, something she had never experienced before in her memory.
And she has broken with Qiu Chudong, and she is not sure whether things will go forward according to her memory.
In addition...
why did Li Qingwu appear there so coincidentally that day in front of the Qiu Mansion and send her to the imperial city?
She didn't think that Fufeng would be so kind. A guard in uniform would help a scholar standing on the roadside casually.
Therefore, it must be Li Qingwu's order.
ââThis is something that has never happened in my previous life.
But Qiu Che had only been reborn for two days at that time, so he didn't have time to do anything. It was obviously not the butterfly effect brought about by her.
So why?
She had never seen these two maids around Li Qingwu before, so she was not sure whether the hooded woman was Li Qingwu.
Could it be some young concubine who made a mistake?
There are indeed many concubines in the palace of this stature and age.
But with such grace, Qiu Che could only think of Li Qingwu.
But if it were her, what mistake had she made that would result in her being punished here to copy scriptures and reflect on her mistakes?
Didn't it mean that Emperor Jingxuan loved his eldest daughter the most?
But if it wasn't Li Qingwu, why did that girl's voice sound so like hers?
Could it be her twin sister outside the palace?
Qiu Che was amused by his own thoughts.
Halfway through the thought, the maid in front stopped and said sideways: "Master, my young lady is in the courtyard, please come in."
Qiu Che's train of thought was interrupted, and he subconsciously looked up and saw a graceful man sitting under the peach blossom tree. figure.
When I looked up at the flowers and trees, a corner of my veil was lifted by the spring breeze, revealing half of my white and tender cheeks.
It's like a sudden glimpse.
Qiu Che only shook his head for a moment, then noticed something was wrong and curled his fingers slightly.
ââThere are at least a dozen internal power masters hiding in this courtyard.
She pondered for a moment, shook her head, and thought, that's all.
So what if it's Li Qingwu?
So what if itâs not?
This person was really the same as in the previous life, she couldn't see through him at all.
...But this has nothing to do with her anymore.
"Miss Yue."
Qiu Che walked to the foot of the tree and did not sit down. Instead, he cupped his hands and said politely, "I don't know if Miss Yue sent someone to bring me here, but what's the matter?"
"Yingchun didn't talk to you. Tell me?" The woman's tone rose slightly, as if she was a little confused, "I invited the young master here to have tea."
"I appreciate the young master's talents and I really want to make friends with him, but it's a pity that I can't come here unless it's time to pray. "A courtyard."
Li Qingwu sighed, then poured her a cup of tea and nodded for her to sit down.
The movements are smooth and elegant.
At first glance, it seems that I have learned it specially.
Having said this, Qiu Che had no choice but to sit down, but did not take the cup of tea.
She said calmly: "I am very grateful to you for being appreciated by the girl, but there are still important things at the moment..."
Being attentive for nothing is either adultery or theft.
Qiu Che didn't have the leisure time to enjoy tea and enjoy the flowers with her.
Li Qingwu made a move.
Qiu Che tightened his fingers slightly, almost thinking that she was going to get angry.
But she just sighed softly and said: "To be honest, the first time I saw the young master, I felt that I was destined to be with the young master... I have been in the boudoir all year round, and I have no chance to see others and have no friends. This is rarely the case. I appreciate someone, but I didnât know that the young master is so resistant..."
She said, glanced at Qiu Che, then stopped talking, and said softly: "That's it, you can't force fate. Since the young master has no intention, he has something to do. " Let's go back first."
"I hope you won't blame me for disturbing you."
After she said this, Qiu Che froze.
Qiu Che is not afraid of scolding or blaming. After all, she has been immersed in official circles for several years and has seen countless high-ranking officials and nobles. She has never changed her expression, neither humble nor overbearing.
But she is most afraid of this kind of person who looks reasonable but is too reasonable.
Typical of eating soft things but not hard things.
Listening to Li Qingwu's vaguely sad and lonely tone, Qiu Che remained silent, then stiffly forced himself to stand up and say goodbye.
As soon as she reached the door, she touched her waist again and found that her jade pendant was missing -
it was not an important item. She didn't even remember where it came from. She only knew that since there were lotus flowers on it, it probably came from My own handiwork.
Before she got married in her previous life, she kept this jade pendant at the bottom of the box. Later, on the night of the wedding, Li Qingwu saw it and asked her why she wasn't wearing it. How did she get back?
Qiu Che didn't remember it. She only remembered that in the next ten years, this jade pendant became her habit and always hung on her waist.
The night she died, the jade pendant was also broken into pieces.
Li Qingwu squatted on the ground and picked it up bit by bit, not even missing the crumbs.
Then she was buried with her body.
So when she was reborn in this life, she didn't touch this jade pendant, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it, so she immediately rummaged through the box and found the jade pendant.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a doubt.
On their wedding night, she asked Li Qingwu to change clothes and opened the box.
There are not many jewelry inside, but there are quite a few, and the jade pendant is just one of them.
Why did Li Qingwu take out this jade pendant and ask?
These thoughts are just a thought.
Qiu Che turned away the many thoughts in his mind, shook his head, and walked back lightly.
I happened to hear Li Qingwu sitting under the tree, still in the same position just now, looking at two cups of tea that were almost untouched, and whispering to the maid Yingchun: "He didn't confiscate this mung bean cake too?"
Yingchun stood by and lowered his head and said, "No, miss."
"Forget it..."
Li Qingwu's sigh seemed to blow into Qiu Che's heart along with the wind.
She was silent and murmured: "Maybe I am too dull and boring to make friends."
"...That."
Qiu Che coughed and said, "Miss Yue, I left something behind. "
Li Qingwu seemed to have just noticed her figure. He stood up and saluted and said, "Want to help?"
"No," Qiu Che had already picked up a bluestone lotus jade pendant among the weeds under the stone table and raised it, "Thank you."
Li Qingwu nodded. As the veil swung, Qiu Che couldn't see whether her eyes were on the jade pendant or on himself.
She said: "Master, please go slowly. Yingchun, please see Master Qiu off."
"That's not necessary." After Qiu Che refused, he seemed to pause when he saw the other party's figure, a little lonely.
She paused for a moment, then continued: "I
wonder if I can still give you the mung bean cake snack now?" "To be honest, I didn't eat much this morning and I'm a little hungry."
Li Qingwu immediately said: "Of course."
She His tone immediately became excited and he said: "If you like it, Master, I will send you one every day from now on... Don't worry, Master, it's just some pastries, it doesn't cost much money."
Qiu Che laughed.
How could there be such an emotional person?
One moment I was sad, and the next moment I was happy because she said she wanted to eat mung bean cake?
She couldn't help but curl her lips, and shook the jade pendant in her hand, signaling that she was leaving.
Li Qingwu relaxed slightly, and this time his tone became much more solid, with some relaxed joy: "Young master, walk slowly."
Qiu Che surprisingly found that because of Li Qingwu's change of tone, there were also people on her way back. It's a rare good mood.
Returning to her residence, she slowly opened the food box.
I saw a bright lotus carved on each of the neatly and beautifully arranged mung bean cakes.
It's like a hundred flowers blooming, wonderful.
It looks familiar, Qiu Che thought.
Like...her lotus jade pendant.
