Chapter 74

"Practice medicine as ordered!"

In the Yamen, Li Kefei couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the rumors coming from Chui Gong Hall.

Fortunately, he did not relent for a moment and agreed to the marriage between Fan Zheng and his daughter. Not to mention that Fan Zheng had been appointed by Empress Dowager Gao to practice medicine and had lost the opportunity to become an official.

Even the Fan family may be in danger because of their insistence on reform. You must know that the conservatives are in power now, and Empress Dowager Gao is the biggest supporter of the conservatives. Coupled with the power struggle between Empress Dowager Gao and the young emperor, the next court will There must have been some open and covert fighting in the hall.

Fan Zheng acted in an eccentric way as a child, and now he has finally tricked the Fan family. The Li family is a small family with a small business and cannot withstand the hardships, so naturally they are taboo about this kind of struggle.

At that moment, Li Kefei finished his official duties and hurriedly returned to Li's Mansion.

Sure enough, when he saw "Ugly Slave" outside the wall, his face twitched. Li Kefei also loved poetry. Fan Zheng's poetry had impressed him. If it hadn't happened today, he might have acquiesced to this matter.

However, at this moment, no matter how talented Fan Zheng is, he cannot impress him at all. He just wants to keep the Li family far away from the Fan family to avoid suffering disaster in the future.

"Come here, please erase these vulgar words for me!" Li Kefei said without hesitation.

The servants of the Li family, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward one after another to blot out these four famous poems.

"Hey! Father Li, are you blind?" someone in the crowd snorted coldly.

Li Kefei staggered when he heard the words, and glared when he came back to his senses, but he couldn't find the person who made the noise. He snorted coldly in his heart: "Li is blind, Li has a sharp eye, and he can tell at a glance that Fan Zhengnai is an ominous person. "

Even if the Fan family escapes this disaster, Fan Zheng will be nothing more than a white-bodied doctor who writes lyrics on orders in the future, how can he be worthy of the proud daughter of the Li family.

Li Kefei returned to the house and told the Wang family everything that happened in the court today.

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this. She did not expect that such a change would happen.

Li Kefei solemnly warned: "Qingzhao must be strictly guarded and she must not have any contact with the Fan family boy again."

"It's not like you don't know Qingzhao's temper, what should we do?" Wang sighed sadly. She had already been optimistic about Fan Zheng, but she didn't expect that something would happen again.

"This matter is related to the rise and fall of the Li family. Qingzhao cannot be left to his will!" Li Kefei said decisively.

"Hey! I understand." Wang nodded helplessly and could only go to the boudoir to persuade Li Qingzhao.

"Practice medicine under orders? So what if you practice medicine? My daughter doesn't care?" In the boudoir, Li Qingzhao said firmly. When she met Fan Zheng, Fan Zheng was a doctor, and she didn't care even if he was also a doctor in the future.

"My silly daughter, it would be fine if Fan Zheng was a doctor, but he got involved in the struggle for imperial power and implicated the Fan family. Now that Fan Xianggong is in public in the court and insists on the idea of ​​reform, I am afraid that he will soon be Being liquidated." Wang said earnestly.

"Ah! Then my daughter will live an ordinary life with Fan Zheng without any complaints!" Li Qingzhao said without hesitation.

"How can the struggle for imperial power and the struggle between the New Party and the Old Party be as easy as you think? Look at where the New Party officials who once followed Wang Anshi's reforms are now. They are either in Lingnan or in barbarian lands. In the future, they will not only If you two are displaced, even the Li family will be implicated."

The cruel situation of the struggle between the old and new parties made the Wang family silent. She did not want the Li family and her daughter to suffer such a serious crime.

"I…………."

Li Qingzhao wanted to fight for it again, but Wang said flatly: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, mother will not agree."

Until Wang left, Li Qingzhao still couldn't believe it all. At that moment, Li Qingzhao took out a paper kite from under the bed, looked at the word "Ugly Slave" on it, and burst into tears.

"If you want to talk, please stop. If you want to talk, please stop."

Li Qingzhao murmured in her mouth. At this moment, she truly understood what it means to stop talking.

"Miss!" Lian'er on the side wanted to persuade her again, but found that she also gave up.

As night fell, Li Qingzhao buried his head in the quilt, unable to fall asleep, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

"Lian'er, I want to drink!" Li Qingzhao stood up quietly and walked towards his father's wine cellar.

Lian'er sighed and followed, and after a while, the two of them returned with a jar of wine in their arms.

In the main room, Li Kefei and Wang stood in front of the window and watched the scene silently, but did not stop it. After all, this time, they had indeed wronged their daughter for the sake of the Li family.

"It doesn't matter if you're drunk, it will relieve a thousand worries!" Li Kefei sighed.

Li Kefei has always been very prejudiced against Fan Zheng. The wine in the wine cellar does not contain white wine, but all low-alcohol light wines from before.

Soon, after three glasses and two glasses of light wine, Li Qingzhao not only did not feel drunk, but instead became more and more sad.

"Miss, don't be sad. Mr. Fan has never failed in his actions. Maybe things will turn around."

Lian'er also knew what the young lady was thinking, so she could only comfort her.

Li Qingzhao shook his head sadly and said: "This matter is not between me and Fan Zheng, but involves the rise and fall of the Fan family and the Li family. We cannot be allowed to mess around."

Li Qingzhao was not a well-heeled lady who stayed away from home. She knew very well the cruelty of the power struggle, and it was impossible for the Li family to take risks because of her.

"Since we can't control the world, but we can control ourselves. I remember you once said that everything in this world can be hereditary, except talent and knowledge. Since we can't be together in this life, let us continue this war. Poetry, let the world know the true love between you and me." Li Qingzhao turned his gaze to "Ugly Slave" aside and said firmly.

At the moment, Li Qingzhao took advantage of the drunkenness to express the misery in his heart.

"Looking and searching, deserted and miserable."

Fan Zheng's "Ugly Slave" used two repeated words to express his melancholy, while Li Qingzhao used fourteen repeated words to express his melancholy in a fit of anger.

"It's most difficult to catch your breath when it's warm and then cold. Three glasses of wine and two glasses of light wine are no match for him. It's late and the wind is blowing! The wild geese are passing by, and I'm sad, but it's an old acquaintance."

Li Qingzhao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so she got up and drank to drown her sorrows. However, after Li Kefei drank the light wine, she didn't even feel the burning sensation of white wine. Instead, a gust of autumn wind blew by outside the house, making her whole body feel cold.

The sad cry of a lone goose came from overhead. I'm afraid that just like her, she also lost a loved one.

With the howling autumn wind at night, Li Qingzhao tasted the endless desolation and sorrow in his heart. Lines of poems came to his heart. Li Qingzhao wrote quickly, and soon, a complete "Slow Voice" was completed.

"Write poetry with love!"

It wasn't until today that she truly realized how painful Fan Zheng's third evil recipe was.

At that moment, Li Qingzhao's drunkenness came to his head. In his last sober moment, he arranged for Lian'er beside him: "Tomorrow, you can send this poem outside the house."

After saying that, she fell into intoxication. Only at this moment, she slightly raised her brows and stopped thinking about the endless, indescribable sorrow.
