Chapter 698 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (17)
Since then, Qingluo has never looked for Li Kun and Dong Qing again.
The courtiers sent by the imperial court arrived, but everyone had just arrived, and naturally it took a while to get familiar with the situation here. Therefore, Li Kun, who had been here all the time, became even busier.
During the day, Li Kun was busy, and Dong Qing was not idle either. Some courtiers were ordered to stay here permanently, so many of them simply brought their families over. The place has not yet settled down, so naturally it is difficult to bring the whole family together. Xiaodu brought them all, so they brought only wives or concubines, mainly to take care of the man's daily life.
These days, Dong Qing has been busy with the resettlement of these family members.
She was a first-rate female official in the palace. Doing these things was just a piece of cake for Dong Qing.
On this day, Dong Qing packed up early in the morning and went to the second and third young master's house in the Zhongshun Hou Mansion.
The third young master’s wife, Mrs. Liao, is a close friend of Dong Qing. This time Mr. Wednesday came here to take office, and Mrs. Liao also came with her.
Dong Qing came here earlier, so naturally he wanted to visit his old friend.
When they arrived at Mrs. Liao's place, Mrs. Liao warmly welcomed Dong Qing in. Dong Qing greeted him and said, "I should have come to see you yesterday, but I just didn't have time." She and Mrs. Liao walked into the house, looking around. Looking at this residence, he said: "This residence was originally the residence of a general from the Gaoshan Kingdom. I see there is a spacious school ground behind it. I know you love riding horses, and General Zhou is a military general, so when allocating the residence, So I gave this place to you."
"How is it? Can you still tolerate it?" Because they were old friends, Dong Qing didn't mince words and asked Liao directly.
Liao took Dong Qing's hand and said with a smile: "Satisfied, I don't know how satisfied I am with this house."
"I knew it, this must be your idea, you know me best." She scolded Dong Qing, her face full of satisfaction.
Dong Qing looked at Mr. Liao and asked, "I think you don't look well, but are you tired from the journey?"
“No, there are too many mountains here, and the road was so bumpy that I actually vomited all the way.”
Ms. Liao complained a few times. After entering the house, she quietly said to Dong Qing, "I'm pregnant."
"Really?" Dong Qing looked at Liao with surprise on her face.
Liao Shi nodded and muttered to Dong Qing: "I got pregnant in time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring me here."
Zhou Gongzi's mother is a powerful person. Liao and her mother-in-law have always been at odds. Dong Qing knew about her family's affairs, so she persuaded him: "General Zhou will be working here in the future. If you come here, you will save the time in the capital." trouble."
Mrs. Liao said: "Since the saint ordered him to come here, I have thought about following him. My mother-in-law is really difficult to deal with and insists on leaving me to set the rules in the house. I am not the eldest daughter-in-law, so why should she? I stayed here and suffered from her anger all day long. My husband also asked me to come with her. She also scolded my husband for marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother. She scolded my husband for being unfilial all day long. My husband was so entangled by her that I couldn't help it. I was worried that he would waver. I got pregnant without even thinking about it, and my husband is determined to bring me here."
"This time, even if he doesn't feel sorry for me, he still feels sorry for his child."
"What about you? I've been here for so many days. Is there any movement?" Liao asked Dong Qing with concern.
Dong Qing shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"There's no rush, General Li is about to return to Beijing. From now on, you two will be together every day, sooner or later."
Dong Qing sat for a while and then left. Liao was reluctant to leave her and wanted to keep her. Dong Qing said: "Of the courtiers who came here, I heard that there are still a few who are not satisfied with their residence. I have to deal with it. I’ll see you again when I have time.”
“You are really capable. General Li is really lucky to have married you in eight lifetimes.”
Dong Qing stood up and Liao saw him off. They walked to the gate and happened to see General Zhou, Li Kun and several other generals coming to Zhou's house.
They were all acquaintances, so there was no need for Dong Qing and Liao to avoid it. Liao stepped forward and bowed slightly, then said to her husband, "Why did you come home so early today?" General Zhou replied: "I'm busy with things in the morning. It’s over, the office stove is leaking and it’s being repaired, so we can’t cook today, so I brought some generals to my house to eat.”
General Zhou’s residence is the closest to the government office, so it is most convenient to come to his house for dinner.
Ms. Liao hurriedly replied: "I just happened to bring the chefs from the capital here. I will ask them to make some more dishes for you in a while."
Li Kun on the side said, "It doesn't have to be too much trouble. Just make some light meals. We have to go out in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Mrs. Liao looked at her husband: "Are you going out in the afternoon?"
General Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, there are still things to be busy with."
Liao's joyful face suddenly darkened, and she muttered dissatisfiedly: "I've been busy all day, and I haven't been able to catch you for so many days."
In front of his colleagues, General Zhou was not annoyed by his wife's complaints. He stepped forward and said cautiously: "When I first started, there were so many things to do. Naturally, I was busy. It will be fine after a while."
Ms. Liao rolled her eyes at her husband and said angrily: "Don't use these words to coax others."
General Zhou smiled awkwardly at several of his colleagues: "My wife is pregnant, so she will inevitably have a bad temper."
Liao has always been willful, so Dong Qing naturally knows her temper well.
Dong Qing stepped forward and stabbed Mr. Liao calmly. When Dong Qing reminded her, Ms. Liao realized that she had made another mistake unconsciously, and then she closed her mouth.
Dong Qing said to General Liu on the side: "I heard yesterday that the general's family was not satisfied with the residence. I was about to go to the general's residence."
General Liu's wife is the daughter of a county prince, so the house Dong Qing allocated for them is already the best. It was once the residence of a prince from Gaoshan Kingdom, but Mrs. Liu has a tricky temperament and is the most difficult to get along with. Over the past few days, she had been shouting that Dong Qing had selfish motives for dividing the house into two, and would not give them a good house.
There is a kind of person in this world who never knows what he wants. He is obviously mediocre but cannot see that others are capable.
Mrs. Liu is the same age as Dong Qing. She is the kind of person who doesn't like others' abilities.
After hearing what Dong Qing said, General Liu hurriedly replied: "My wife is not dissatisfied with the house. It's just that she just came here, so she may not be used to the environment here."
With a smile on her face, Dong Qing asked General Liu: "If Mrs. Liu is not satisfied with that house, there are several empty houses in the city. How about I take her to look around and choose one. "
General Liu hurriedly replied: "No need, that house is good enough. When I have time to go back, I will order people to rearrange it according to my wife's wishes."
Dong Qing nodded and said: "That's fine, but don't be polite, general. Since I have taken on the job of arranging arrangements for everyone, I must make your Lord and Madam stay comfortable."
General Liu replied: "Mrs. Li has done a good job."
The other generals also knew that Dong Qing was capable, and they all agreed: "Mrs. Li took the trouble to arrange a house for us. We can't thank you enough."
“Yes, my wife said that in order to thank Mrs. Li, I would like to treat you to a drink.”
Dong Qing smiled and replied: "It's okay to drink. I'm not good at drinking."
