Chapter 154: Foothold
Li Jin's familiarity with the small roads and big roads around his house, if he claims to be second, it is estimated that no one will dare to call him first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, this is also what I had to find out at the beginning in order to be able to appear in the mansion at the scheduled time and not be discovered by my parents sneaking out of the mansion, but at this time, this is a great benefit for Li Jin. The clear map in her mind allowed her to choose the closest and most suitable path to sneak home in the middle of the night, of course, what she had to do at this time was not to avoid the eyes of her parents, but to pay attention to the eyes of the neighbors that Li Jin had never thought about before.
Because he can't wander the market like this as a woman or the daughter of the squire's mansion, let alone let the surrounding eunuchs see that he is a person who has a marriage contract, and he goes in and out of the mansion alone as he wants. After such a rumor spreads, it will not only seriously injure his father, but also affect his weight in the emperor, so Li Jin has to deal with it carefully.
Li Jin has been in and out of the mansion several times recently, all of them have been pretending to be a small servant, and of course this time is no exception, so naturally he has to find a place to change the clothes of this court official for a while. It's just that in addition to this, it is now night, and when no one comes in and out of his house, if he is seen entering and exiting, and the Li Mansion is in such a cusp at this time, it is naturally very unfavorable. So if you can avoid being accidentally seen, that's the best outcome.
After the two of them left the deserted courtyard, Li Jin had been thinking about where he could have such an unobtrusive corner in his house at night, where he could sneak home from people's eyes.
Fortunately, in such a place, although it is not easy to find, because it is not noticeable, if you haven't looked for it yourself, you probably won't be able to find it, but fortunately, Li Jin has a living map in his mind. It only took less than a stick of incense to choose a path that was a little farther away, but it was guaranteed that he would not be bumped into by anyone.
During the day, it is a small market where peddlers and pawns gather, and because it is a remote place, there is no one to govern it, so people naturally gather into a market because of convenience. However, at nightfall, because it is close to the official's residence, there are guards patrolling the city who will clean up the idle people here for the safety of the officials. In a naturally remote place, plus the handles of officers and soldiers, the people who can appear here are afraid that it will be the least number of places around the Li Mansion.
Therefore, Li Jin's plan is to walk through here to the back door of the Li Mansion. As long as the two of them can manage to avoid the patrolling officers and soldiers and sneak into this path, they can naturally minimize the possibility of others seeing.
By this time the two men had reached the nearest place to the path that could be reached by horses. If you get closer, you will attract the patrol first because of the loud noise.
Therefore, after Li Jin observed a circle, he chose an inn, where he planned to temporarily store his luggage and horses, and this place could also be used as a foothold for Li Jin to move outside the mansion in the future. After settling down, Li Jin drove the horse forward, and after coming to the door of the inn, he turned over and dismounted with a flowing movement, the movement was free and neat, and Su Jing, who was half a horse behind him, also praised it appreciatively.
And the guests who were leaving the inn couldn't help but praise when they saw it.
"Oh, what a neat move. ”
When Li Jin heard such a bold compliment, although he blamed himself for being too imprudent and afraid of missing his tracks, he also knew that if he behaved strangely at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it if he wanted to impress. Therefore, he simply made the appearance of a traveling gentleman, turned around and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
After that, he beckoned Su Jing, who came behind him, unloaded his luggage, and went to check in first.
Su Jing saw that Li Jin's attitude towards him was completely familiar with each other, and immediately understood Li Jin's plan, probably to pretend that the two were on a journey. Indeed, this is also the most suitable for the two of them to dress up now, so they immediately cooperated: "Then there is Brother Lao Li." After that, he also turned over and dismounted neatly.
After Li Jin saw Su Jing understand his intentions so quickly, he smiled with relief and arched his hand, and then climbed the steps first.
This kind of tacit understanding is almost comparable to what Xiangxue who grew up with him can do, although it is not Li Jin's original wish, but now he is accompanied by such a tacit person, it is really good, and this person has given up everything before, Li Jin feels that he has a very worthwhile feeling of running and desperate in the past few days.
When passing by the two who had praised their equestrian skills before, Li Jin also arched his hand to express his gratitude for the praise just now. The two of them were only amazed at Li Jin's equestrianism at the time, and then saw that the two seemed to be busy with their own affairs, and they didn't bother, so they just talked about their own affairs.
At this time, because of the concentration of the mind on his own discussion is the matter, almost completely do not remember the scene just seen, this is the characteristic of people, in addition to things that do not conform to common sense, otherwise no matter how beautiful the memory, no matter how amazing the scene, in the blink of an eye, it will be replaced by their current things, and disappear and intangible, and will not even stay in the memory for a moment.
And this is also the effect that Li Jin hopes to achieve, seeing that the two of them did not pay more attention to themselves, the boulder in Li Jin's heart also fell, but when he passed by the two people, he happened to hear a fragment of the conversation between the two.
“…… Brother Fat Lian, what you said is serious? This matter can be big or small, and I have nothing to do with it, so I can't treat what you said as if I didn't hear it. ”
"Brother Zhang, you also know me, although I usually like to joke, but I also know the severity of this matter today, how dare I talk nonsense, and you are still involved, I naturally inquired carefully before I dared to come to you to report the news. ”
"It's also ......"
After that, because it was a little far away, Li Jin didn't pay much attention to it, so the few vague words he heard were completely unheard.
Li Jin set up a guest room, and after placing all the luggage he brought with him with Su Jing, he told the store that he might not come back to live tonight, and let him take care of his things and horses, as if he was often out of the house.
After temporarily sending the horses to a nearby inn, Li Jin left the store with Su Jing after paying for a few days' accommodation, taking a package with him.
