Chapter 40: Return Gift
Li Jin's father and daughter were shocked, Mrs. Li didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, and said as she entered the room: "You two have come to the study again." Pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info Jin'er should have returned to the room earlier after recovering from a serious illness. ”
It turned out that Mrs. Li heard that the two of them were in the study, so she brought the ginseng soup that had just been stewed for the father and daughter to replenish their bodies.
Li Jin smiled and said, "I'm all right, don't worry, mother, sit down and rest." ”
Mrs. Li disagreed, but she also had no choice but to take Li Jin, so she asked Chunlan to go to Jinyue Pavilion to get Li Jin's big soup, and instructed the two of them to finish the ginseng soup while it was hot, and then went to work on themselves.
Mrs. Li walked out of the room, and both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jin looked at the door worriedly, and said to his father: "Dad, I'm not worried about anything else, but what can I do here?"
Father Li also said with a sad face: "It seems that your mother shouldn't know yet, since you have decided, let go and do what you want, your mother has a father." ”
That night, Li's father and daughter talked about the three watches in the study.
As expected, on the second day, when Li Jin had just gotten up, there was a message from the front hall welcoming the holy decree.
After everyone in the Li Mansion stopped dressing, they set up incense cases and other things in the main hall of the Li Mansion to welcome the holy decree, and everyone knelt on the ground.
The dry voice of the chamberlain echoed through the hall.
Li Jin was in a bit of a trance throughout the whole process, and only heard clearly that the emperor was moved to marry the heart of the frontier for the country, and made himself the lord of the county, and the wedding would be held before the year.
The lengthy decree was finally read, Li Shilang greeted the chamberlain to the front hall, and Mrs. Li said that the illness did not appear in the main hall, and everyone in the house looked at Li Jin standing in the middle a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether to congratulate Miss or be considered an unlucky thing. For a while, the needle drop in the hall could be heard.
Li Jin was only immersed in his own world, and did not pay attention to the strangeness around Dao. When he came to the front hall, his father's reassuring eyes let Li Jin know that his mother was fine, but he never appeared at this time, probably because he was angry with himself.
After a while, Li Jin finally came back to his senses, turned around and ordered everyone to do their own thing. Mrs. Li's reaction was expected by Li Jin, but Li Jin really didn't dare to tell her mother about it head-on, and when she was hesitating whether to go to her mother's room, a small servant hurriedly came to the hall.
After saluting Li Jin, he replied: "Miss, when the decree was just announced, an attendant came outside. He told the porter that he was going to give the letter to the young lady. The porter had told him to wait for the summons, but he handed over the letter and turned away. Because the holy decree was being read out in the house, the porter did not dare to trespass, and I only got the porter's reply here. I heard that it looks like he just came a few days ago, and the one who delivered something to Concubine Jing. As he spoke, the little servant handed the envelope to Li Jin.
At first, Li Jin didn't react, but when he heard the end, he was also taken aback.
Li Jin learned from his father last night that the only heirs of the Huaiyang Mansion are the current Huaiyang King Jingxi and his sister Jingyu, which means that the holy decree naming Li Jin to marry has just arrived in the Li Mansion, and at the same time, the letter from the Huaiyang King has also arrived?
Li Jin didn't know why he had a bad premonition, so he quickly opened the letter, only to see only a few words on the thin page inside.
After glancing at it, Li Jin's eyes were immediately full of anger.
Too late to go to his mother's room to explain, Li Jin turned around and hurriedly returned to Jinyue Pavilion, and after changing into men's clothes, he told Xiangxue when he would come back, and asked her to tell her parents, Li Jin prepared to avoid everyone and leave the house through the corner gate.
Li Jin had done a lot of sneaking out of the house before, but he had just read out the holy decree at this time, and in recent days, Xiangxue was really frightened by what Li Jin had encountered, and swore in her heart that she would never leave Li Jin's side again.
Therefore, although Xiangxue seemed to be very anxious when she saw Li Jin like this, she desperately held Li Jin's hand and refused to let go.
"Miss, why are you in such a hurry? After the master sends off the people in the palace, it is not too late for you to personally tell the master to go. And whatever I say, I will go with you, and I will never leave you alone again. As she spoke, Xiangxue's eyes were filled with tears, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Although Li Jin's chest was burned with anger, he still had a trace of reason.
calmed down his anxious mood, Li Jin said, "I'm fine, you let go first." ”
After taking a deep breath, Li Jin came to the table and sat down to rest.
The paper that was crumpled into a ball was re-unfolded, Li Jin frowned and looked at it again, and then couldn't help but crumple it into a ball, but he didn't dare to throw it around, for fear of being discovered by others, so he could only stuff it into his sleeve indiscriminately.
Xiangxue didn't dare to disturb Li Jin's thoughts at this time, so she could only quietly accompany her.
After Li Jin slowly calmed down, Xiangxue sent Li Jin a warm tea and said, "What happened to Miss just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I was shocked by the return gift from someone else. Li Jin smiled coldly.
Although Xiangxue knew that it was better to have more things than less at this time, the events in Yujingzhai made her remember it vividly, so she refused to let go of everything that might threaten Li Jin from her ears without hearing about it.
Bold, Xiangxue said tentatively: "If Miss can trust Xiangxue, at least let me know who makes Miss angry." ”
Li Jin knew that Xiangxue was worried about her own safety, afraid that there would be another incident of Yujingzhai, but it was just a matter between herself and the king of Huaiyang, and Li Jin subconsciously felt that it should be kept secret.
But in the end, I couldn't bear to let Xiangxue hang a heart, so I handed over the unseemly piece of letter paper that had been rubbed in my hand, and said: "Actually, it's okay, it's just a return gift from a poet friend to reply to the poems I made on my previous behalf, but the words are too formless, which makes me a little angry and wants to reason with him." ”
Xiangxue doesn't know any poetry, but she has read books with Li Jin for a few years, so literacy is not a problem. I really don't know how Miss knew such a person.
Although she had never studied poetry, in order to understand Li Jin's feelings, Xiangxue still tried to understand the short poems written on the paper, so she kept reading them silently in her heart.
'The wild goose flies alone in the spring of the northern country, like a splendid country and a wing, but it is unforgettable to the old garden, do not look back, only the wasteland is thousands of miles to be returned. ’
Silently feeling the atmosphere in the poem, although it is not clear, but the wild goose flies alone, the old garden is unforgettable, but I feel that I am talking about the current lady, and the last sentence is only a wasteland to be returned. Just thinking about the uninhabited grassland, Xiangxue feels lonely and sad, not to mention the thousands of miles of wasteland mentioned in the poem, which is not a good thing.
"Miss, although I didn't understand this poem, I always felt that the person who wrote the poem was really angry, why did Miss just set up a marriage here, and he sent this sad poem that makes people feel sad when they look at it?" Xiangxue didn't know how to describe her feelings, so she thought of it and said there.
Li Jin had calmed down a lot at this time, but he was amused by Xiangxue's description: "Indeed, this person is really hateful, I didn't invite him to provoke him, why do you curse us like this." ”
Xiangxue immediately said: "When the young lady is looking for him to theorize, she must take me with you, so that many people will have more momentum." ”
Looking at Xiangxue's voluntary expression, Li Jin was so amused that she almost sat down. I've been nervous and depressed all the time, and my mood is much better. smiled at Xiangxue and said, "Okay, don't hide behind me when the time comes." ”
Although Li Jin, who calmed down, was no longer angry, he still planned to ask for an understanding. It's just that before the matter is over, Li Jin plans not to tell his father first.
Just when Li Jin thought so, his father's personal servant came to Jinyue Pavilion and said that the master invited the young lady to the study.
