Luoyang Brocade Chapter 33: Travel expenses

Ling Xiao nodded and suddenly said: "Ah Shu, you want to hide our going to the capital, don't you want Cousin Hong to know about it?"

The most important thing is to hide it from Lu Qian.

Ling Jingshu hummed perfunctorily.

Ling Xiao thought that Ling Jingshu was in a bad mood because of this matter, so he smiled and comforted: "Since you have no intention of cousin Hong, it is reasonable to distance yourself from him. To avoid getting entangled and causing rumors. Talking about marriage is also a good idea. Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it in a year or two.”

Carrying the hatred of her previous life, and now suffering from a strange disease that prevents her from being close to men, she will probably never get married again in this life...

Ling Jingshu smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was not much regret in her heart.

Having a new life and the opportunity to start over is already a blessing from heaven, and the "flaws" that come with it are not worth mentioning.

After arriving in the capital, it would be great to have the opportunity to cure this strange disease. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured.

However, this matter must be kept hidden from Ling Xiao to prevent him from worrying about himself.

Ling Jingshu warned again carefully: "In a few days, uncle and the others will leave for Beijing, and the two of us have to start packing our luggage. Let Jingyu and the others pack their luggage quietly so as not to disturb others. ”

"I don't know how long I will stay in the capital here. I have packed my clothes for all seasons. I will also bring all the books I want to read."

Ling Xiao obediently agreed.

......

In the next few days, Bai Yu and other maids began to quietly pack up their clothes and luggage.

Ling Jingshu strictly ordered all the maids not to tell anyone about this matter. In order to strictly keep the secret, even the number of times the maids went in and out of Qiushui Pavilion was strictly controlled.

Ling Xiao lives in Yonghe Hall, which is crowded with people. Fortunately, Mrs. Ling gave strict orders. Because Ling Xiao was blind and didn't interact with many people, no one noticed that all the four-season clothes in Ling Xiao's house were packed into packages, and the books he usually read were also packed away.

The Fifth Master Ling went to see Uncle Ling privately, while Old Mrs. Ling secretly summoned her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, to the house to talk. Ling Jingshu didn't know what exactly she said. However, Mrs. Sun looked at her with a little more sympathy.

That is the pity of those who think they are superior to the weak.

As long as the goal of leaving Dingzhou and going to Luoyang can be achieved, there is no need to worry about self-esteem for the time being. What's more, when they come to the capital and live in their uncle's house in the future, it wouldn't be a bad thing for their eldest aunt, Mrs. Sun, to show a little more pity to their siblings.

As for Lu Qian, he thought she was still "considering" it, and he didn't bother her in the past few days for fear of pushing her too hard and offending her.

Ling Jingshu has not been idle either. She has been packing her bags secretly these past few days and going to Yonghe Hall from time to time to coax Old Mrs. Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling, who has always been very careful about budgeting, showed rare generosity this time. She secretly prepared five thousand taels of silver notes for Ling Jingshu: "...Sister Shu, you and Axiao will follow you tomorrow. Uncle and the others need to bring some money with them when they go to the capital. These banknotes are from Longsheng and can be redeemed at any time when they arrive in Luoyang. Each one is five hundred taels, ten in total. You keep them all. When they go to the capital to visit famous doctors, as long as they can No matter how much money is spent on curing your and Ah Xiao's illnesses, don't hesitate. If the money is not enough, just borrow it from your aunt. Or ask someone to send a letter back, and I will order someone to send you money."

Five thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount. When a daughter of the Ling family gets married, the dowry is only about five thousand taels.

However, in his previous life, Uncle Ling was imprisoned. In order to save people, the Ling family sold most of their wealth and spent tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. This five thousand taels of silver is not much for the Ling family.

Ling Jingshu accepted the bank note without any guilt, with a look of gratitude on her face: "Thank you so much, grandma. I'm afraid these five thousand taels of silver belong to grandma's private property, and now they are all given to me. Ah Xiao and I really don’t know what to say..."

Old Mrs. Ling holds all the property of the Ling family in her hands. Not to mention five thousand taels, Old Mrs. Ling can even get ten times the amount of silver notes. It was impossible for Ling Jingshu not to know this, but what she said was very sensational.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Ling felt relieved. She was still a little aching at first, but now she no longer felt distressed. She thought about it and said: "When you go to the capital, you will inevitably go out with Sister Yan as a guest in the future. There is no need to be too frugal. , the new clothes that need to be made are still to be made. I also have two sets of red gold head and face jewelry suitable for you to wear. I will ask Mo Kui to pack them up and send them to Qiushui Pavilion later."

This is the side benefit of being a good person.

When I was short of money, I sold both sets of red gold head and face jewelry into cash, which was a huge sum!

Ling Jingshu was moved to tears, and she snuggled beside Mrs. Ling, choking and saying: "I lost my biological mother when I was a child, and my father paid little attention to me after the second marriage. Fortunately, my grandmother took pity on me. I can do it Your granddaughter must be a blessing that took me several lifetimes to cultivate."

I feel so numb that I feel like vomiting.

Old Mrs. Ling was very pleased with what she heard and gave generously: "You girl, my grandmother was also saddened by what she said. I also have a box of fine South Sea pearls, and I gave them to you too."

This box of South Sea pearls is obviously much more valuable than the two sets of red gold heads.

Ling Jingshu lay in the arms of Mrs. Ling and started to cry: "Grandma, you are so kind to me. My granddaughter will definitely respect you twice as much in the future..."

"That's it, I'll have someone prepare some gold and cash for you." Mrs. Ling sighed in pain.

Don't cry anymore. If you cry grandma, I won't be able to pay for it.

Ling Jingshu was satisfied with being able to "get" so much money from Mrs. Ling. Immediately, I wiped my tears and thanked her "sincerely".

Then he went to Master Ling Wu’s study.

Old Mrs. Ling is bleeding, she must let her biological father "show" some "fatherly love" too!

......

"Father, A Xiao and I are leaving Dingzhou tomorrow. We are going to Luoyang to visit famous doctors. I don’t know when we will come back. My daughter feels really ashamed that she cannot be filial to her father. Before leaving, I came here to express my gratitude to my father. Say goodbye."

Ling Jingshu's eyes were filled with a little glimmer of water. As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Ling Wuye is not a hard-hearted person either. He sighed with some remorse: "Axiao is sick. I, the father, should have taken him to the capital. But now you have to travel thousands of miles to live with a daughter who is still a virgin. If I want to be ashamed, it should be me, my father."

Of course, Fifth Master Ling’s shame was just a word of mouth. ~IndoMTL.com~ It is absolutely impossible for him to give up his current leisurely life of eating, drinking, and having fun and travel long distances.

Ling Jingshu knew very well the merciless temper of Master Ling Wu. She couldn't help but sneer secretly in her heart, but she responded: "My parents are here, so they won't travel far away. The Ling family is old and young. They all rely on their father and fourth uncle to stay." How can we leave so easily after we have established a family at home? Ah Xiao and I are twins from the same mother, so it is only natural that we should accompany him to the capital. Father, don’t worry about it."

The lame Fourth Master Ling is really working hard in running the farm shop, and the Ling family cannot do without Fourth Master Ling.

As for Mr. Ling Wu, he disdains managing these trivial matters. He was busy reciting poems and drinking and socializing every day, and made great contributions to the prosperity of brothels, restaurants, boats and other industries in Dingzhou City.

After all, Fifth Master Ling has not practiced to the point of being shameless. When Ling Jingshu said this, his face became a little hot. He coughed and said: "In short, you accompanied A Xiao to Luoyang this time, and it was indispensable to travel hard and waste time and energy. If A Xiao really sees the light of day again, you will be indispensable."

"I only hope that Ah Xiao can heal his eyes, study and practice calligraphy like other young men, make friends and go outing, and that he will marry a wife and have children in the future and have a safe life."

Ling Jingshu’s voice was soft but firm.

Ling Wuye was moved, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Ling Jingshu say again: "I am going to the capital to seek medical advice for A Xiao. Even if there is a glimmer of hope of cure, we cannot give up. In this way, in I will probably stay in the capital for a long time, and it will definitely cost a lot of money. Just now at Yonghetang, my grandmother gave me some money for self-defense. If it is not enough, I will sell some jewelry and I can always make it through. Father, don’t worry. "

Ling Wuye: "..."
