An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong snorted coldly and said, "Look, this is my palace access token. Not every slave in the palace can own such a token. Take a closer look."

Qin Sanyue took a step forward and said: "Shopkeeper, I am Qin Sanyue, the daughter of Qin Zifeng of Qin's clothing store. You should know me. This is my mother-in-law. If she is willing to sell it to you, that is your great blessing. The remaining Don't ask too many questions about it. As long as you keep your mouth shut after accepting my wife's things, your business will go to the next level and the business will continue to come in. "

Most of the shopkeepers know Qin Sanyue. Even if they rarely see Qin Sanyue, they have heard of Qin Ziqiang's name. After all, Qin Ziqiang has been making garments in this capital for more than ten years.

The shopkeeper immediately converted all the items into gold leaves and gave them to An Lingrong. An Lingrong felt particularly at ease as he touched the bulging gold bag.

Then, she took them to Qin Luoyi's clothing store. From a distance, she saw Qin Ziqiang and Lingrou busy dealing with customers in the store, so she suppressed her thoughts and did not disturb them, and then returned directly to "Xiu Zhuang" .

Since An Bihuai resigned, his temper has become much more humble and gentle. Lin Xiu and two maids were doing embroidery in the yard, while An Bihuai was doing homework with his two children, holding a long piece of paper in his hand. The long branches pretended to be extremely majestic to scare the child, but when he heard the knock on the door, An Lingrong saw him turn around through the crack of the door, as if his face had changed, and his face was soft. warmth.

"Father, mother, Rong'er is back to see you." An Lingrong ordered Baojuan and Qin Sanyue to unpack the nutritional supplements and food brought out from the palace in large and small packages, and stuffed them into their hands one by one. She also kept an eye on the cakes for her two children, An Zhixuan and An Zixuan, and prepared a small gift for the old teacher next door. She also went to visit him in person and inquired about the two children's homework.

The old teacher was naturally very grateful and said that his two biological daughters were too busy to come back to see him. However, An Lingrong had visited him twice in a row and said that his biological daughters were not as good as the neighbor's daughter. Come kindly.

An Lingrong held her thoughts for the time being. She really wanted to ask him where and who his two daughters were married to, what their husbands did, and why they stayed together for so long. Not coming to visit him? But after all, this is someone else's private matter, and my friendship with the old man is just a gentleman's friendship. Let's leave this question for later!

"Father, mother, Rong'er left the palace this time to tell you good news." An Lingrong said, pulling her mother's leg.

No matter how old she is, she is still a child who has not grown up in front of her parents.

Lin Xiu smiled and said: "Rong'er, if you have any good news, tell me quickly."

An Bihuai asked: "The good news about Rong'er, he must have been promoted, right?"

An Lingrong nodded and said, "Father, you guessed it right. Rong'er has been promoted to a noble person again this time!"

An Bihuai said with a trace of pride in his eyes: "We tried our best to send you to the palace. It seems that this is really the right path. Don't be attracted by the small profits in front of you and enter the palace. You must have a calm mind. If fame and wealth are to be fought for, don't be anxious if you can't win. If you don't have any heirs yet, and you rise to noble status so quickly, your rise will be a little faster. You rise too fast. , and you’re afraid of being jealous of other concubines in the palace, so you’d better restrain your sharpness.”

The father was mixed with joy and sorrow, while the mother said: "Our Rong'er is really awesome! Rong'er, relax, the emperor is not blind. Naturally, there is a reason to promote Rong'er. Even if there is no heir, he will not be promoted for no reason. , am I right, Rong'er?"

An Lingrong nodded. The last time the envoy came to the palace, he took advantage of the opportunity to deliver tributes at the banquet to assassinate the emperor. The envoy also fought with the sword-wielding guards in the harem, killing and wounding several guards. At that time, she called He picked up the golden hairpin on Wan Guiren's head, swung the silver needle in the direction he usually used to diagnose and treat patients, and pricked the acupuncture point on the envoy's leg. Then, the emperor rewarded her for her meritorious service in repelling the enemy.

Although An Bihuai told her not to be careless or to be proud, her eyes were full of pride.

That night, Lin Xiu and An Bihuai cooked in person, making seven or eight home-cooked dishes plus a goose. They were used to the palace's delicacies, but for a moment they changed their taste and tasted the food cooked by their parents. They felt so happy. There was warmth, and the mist in her eyes came up layer by layer. She took a sip of tea to push back the tears.

The night is getting deeper, and the moonlight shines on the pool in the yard. The clear river water flows slowly and makes a slight sound. A long rack for drying clothes is set up beside the pool, which is full of washed clothes. An Ling The mandarin duck pillowcase embroidered by Rong himself was fluttering in the wind. The corners of the white gauze curtain attached to the window pane were slightly yellowed, but they were still very strong and had been cleaned very clean by the servants.

That night, Qin Sanyue went home. An Lingrong came back very late. Work was still going well. He explained all the big and small things in the store in detail, and An Lingrong hugged An Zixuan and An Zhixuan. , three people were sleeping on the same bed. Both An Zixuan and An Zhixuan were restless. They were coaxed for a while before falling asleep. There was a painting on the wall, painted by An Zixuan. In the painting was a black bird. Children, flying freely in the sky, listening to the children's quiet breathing, the wind outside the house gradually became quieter, amidst the sounds of cicadas chirping and wind blowing grass leaves, An Lingrong gradually fell into a deep sleep in his clothes, without the noise in the palace. With the dispute, she slept very soundly that night.

The next day, she got up quietly as usual, without waking her family, and went out early to buy breakfast, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, dumplings, and eggs, which were the daily breakfast of ordinary people.

After she bought breakfast and was about to go home, she suddenly saw the streets in the capital tightening patrols.

An Lingrong inquired about the situation from the boss of the bun shop and asked: "Boss, do you know what happened? It was fine yesterday. Why are there so many more people on duty today?"

The owner of the bun shop whispered: "I heard this too, so don't go around saying it. I heard that there's probably going to be a war."

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat: "There's a war? It won't come to the capital so soon, right?"

The owner of the bun shop took another customer's money to pay for his buns. The customer was about thirty years old. Hearing them talking about this, he couldn't help but come over and join in. He said, "I also heard about this front line." There is going to be a war, and a notice is posted at the gate of the city. Anyone in the prime of life who has extra labor at home wants to join the army for training. Are they recruiting people? Girl, if your family has extra labor, please send someone to come. For exams, there are also those with silver hair."

An Lingrong said softly, "Oh," "Why did you start this battle so quickly?"

The customer who bought the buns said mysteriously: "A few days ago, a messenger was sent from outside, saying that something happened in the palace. He almost stabbed the emperor and made a big fuss in the palace. He was later arrested and imprisoned. I heard that something happened in the palace." If someone is dead and the two countries are fighting to kill the envoy, then the emperor is really stupid. Didn’t he bring this war to himself?"
