Chapter 45: The Opening
Li Jin didn't pay attention to the door, but inadvertently swept his eyes over the door, and actually saw a face that was also unforgettable to Li Jin except for Li Hui and King Huaiyang, and the memory of that nightmarish night also struck again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, he also suddenly appeared at the door like this, commenting on Li Jin in a frivolous manner.
The impression of him, Li Jin was left with instinctive dodging in addition to vigilance.
Just like that night, this person entered uninvited, as if there was no taboo to go anywhere, and stepped directly into the wing, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals opposite Li Jin.
After seeing that Li Jin didn't say anything, he spoke first: "The so-called 'Pianpian beautiful son, drunk and lying on the beauty couch', it should be said that this beautiful scenery in front of you, right?"
Li Jin's brows furrowed slightly, not only because of his disgust with this person's words, but also because of his confusion about this person's identity. Since he decided to step into this chaotic world, Li Jin couldn't let himself be ignorant about the identities of these people.
Mobilizing his brain, which was still functioning normally at this time, Li Jin pondered the identity of the person in front of him.
He can freely enter and exit the side courtyard of the imperial study and is familiar with the king of Huaiyang, Li Jin suddenly remembered that after he entered the door that night, he directly called the king of Huaiyang uncle, which means that his generation is less than that of the king of Huaiyang.
According to the distribution of power in the DPRK and China that Li Jin obtained from his father and the information of the relevant royal family, Li Jin estimated that this person should be of the same generation as the current son in the imperial family.
And now in the royal family in Beijing, in addition to the brothers and sisters of the king of Huaiyang and the king of Nanxiang, there is only the emperor, and the emperor's two brothers and a second brother are under house arrest in their own mansion, and the other eldest brother should be the same age as the king of Huaiyang. At this time, the person in front of him was obviously much younger than King Huaiyang, and he looked about the same age as the Son of Heaven.
And I heard that the emperor's eldest brother has a calm personality, and he has been an elegant gentleman since he was a child, but the words and demeanor of the person in front of him are far from the same. In this way, this person should be Jing Min's brother, the son of King Nanxiang.
Thinking of this, Li Jin felt that it was better for this person to stay away, but it was not good to pick up people directly, so he said gently: "I don't know if the son is here, what is the so-called matter?"
Although Li Jin is now dressed as a man, it is nothing for people to see him being in the same room with a man. It's just that such a behavior and old friends are a little rude, let alone such a person who only has one side.
The brocade-clothed boy saw that Li Jin had no intention of getting up to accompany him at this time, and had been half-lying and half-sitting on the couch by the window looking at himself. Feeling stimulated for a while, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Miss Li is really a golden body, I didn't expect to be so weak." Passing through the city gate today, I happened to see the emperor's announcement, you admire the meritorious soldiers in the frontier who serve the country but have no family, so you decided to marry. It's just that although I admire your willingness to marry a counselor from the seventh grade, I feel that with so many illnesses, the journey of 10,000 miles is unbearable, I wonder if Miss should think twice?"
Hearing the announcement of the emperor's list, Li Jin unconsciously sat up straight.
On the other hand, after Li Jin left the wing where Jing Xi was, the leader of the guards who brought Jing Xi a secret letter last night came to Jing Xi again.
"The exchange silver ticket of Wanli Money Village that you want to exchange, no matter the north and south, as long as there is a Wanli Money Bank, it can be exchanged. After whispering to Jing Xi, the leader of the guards handed over a stack of silver tickets to Jing Xi, and then stepped aside to wait for Jing Xi's next order.
After counting the numbers, Jing Xi took out five thousand taels and handed them back to the head of the guards beside him, and asked him to get the pen and paper. The leader of the guards received the order and sent everyone else out of the house.
After the leader closed the door from the inside, he came to Jingxi's side, but he didn't have a pen or rice paper in his hand. I saw him take out a roll of oily kraft paper from his arms, and respectfully handed over a brush with a cap made of bamboo to Jing Xi.
After Jing Xi took it, he skillfully wrote smoothly on the paper that was not easy to leave pen marks. After only writing two words, he looked up thoughtfully, and then asked the head of the guard beside him, "Where is he now?"
"Captain of a thousand horses. The leader of the guards replied without hesitation.
After Jingxi nodded, he began to put down the pen again, and after a few breaths, he returned the pen and paper in his hand to the leader of the guards.
After respectfully taking it, the leader used the dagger he carried with him to cut out the brown paper with the handwriting on it. It was then quickly rolled into a paper roll and placed in a hollow tube made of bamboo branches. When everything is done, put it in your bosom along with the kraft paper and the special brush.
As he was cutting the paper, the leader saw the few words on it, 'Three years, captain of the light cavalry.'
The leader thought to himself, the master easily did not promise, such a promise, I am afraid that he really has a plan in his heart.
Here the leader of the guards was saluting and leaving, and there was another knock on the door of the wing room from outside.
"Your Royal Highness, the old princess's carriage and horse have arrived in Xuanzhou. "After one of the attendants entered the house and saluted, he replied directly with the news that he was about to report.
Jing Xi nodded and waved the attendant away, and his personal attendant came to his side again at this time.
"Miss Li sent away?"
"Don't worry, Childe, Miss Li is fine. It's just that her personal maid is not at ease, and she is resting in a private room on the second floor at this time, probably wanting to wait for Miss Li to be better before returning home. ”
Jing Xi was noncommittal, looking out the window and not speaking.
After a while, Jing Xi said when he took a cup of tea: "Songyan, my mother has arrived in Xuanzhou, and she will also come to Beijing in the late half of the month, send someone to talk to Jing Yu, and prepare to move back to the palace to live before the end of the month." ”
"Yes. As the person who Jingxi has been with since he was a child, Songyan can still see through his master's thoughts, although he looks calm on the surface, Songyan knows that his master is obviously in a bad mood at this time, so his actions are much more swift than usual.
Songyan went to arrange a group of attendants, and the little maid prepared a tool in the house when the old princess came to Beijing, as well as the arrangement of the son, and notified the county lord of Jingyu to return to the mansion to prepare. The scene was a little tense for a while.
At this time, there was another tense atmosphere in the well-weathered private room on the second floor, and the boy in brocade seemed to think that he had the upper hand, so that Li Jin had nothing to say, and he was secretly getting it. And Xiangxue was beside Li Jin and glared angrily at this uninvited, arrogant and domineering son, just waiting for Li Jin to give an order and go up to teach a lesson.
At this time, Li Jin just sat and looked at the smug expression of the person in front of him, and he didn't seem to look at this person in his eyes.
Hearing that the future husband's official rank was only less than seven grades, this did not have much impact on Li Jin, but the timing of the release of the emperor list made her feel a little strange.
Not long after sunrise this morning, the emperor's decree was delivered to his home. At this moment, I have already heard that the emperor list notice was issued in front of the city gate, and everything seems to be too anxious. originally thought that it was just a grim situation on the frontier, but at this time, thinking of the words of the husband who had just been told by the king of Huaiyang and himself, Li Jin seemed to have an understanding.
