Seeing this, Li Jin knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only smile and nod and say, "That is the case, then there is Master Lauqiao." ”

Qiao Bai smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, Miss Li doesn't need to be too humble. Not to mention that this matter is in the next duty, it is your courage and righteousness for the country that also makes Qiao admire. To do these two errands well, Qiao is duty-bound. ”

Li Jin raised his hand and invited Qiao Bai to sit down and taste tea, thinking that the matter would be over here.

Who knows, Qiao Bai just took two sips here, and after moistening his throat, he immediately spoke again.

"Miss Li, Qiao also has a few words here, is it not worth talking about?"

Li Jin blinked, tilted his head and said, "Master Qiao won't let me be too humble, why are you polite again?"

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said, "Yes, Qiao is too worried." Then I'll tell you the truth. ”

At this point, the smile on Qiao Bai's face instantly faded a lot, and the gaze that looked at Li Jin was also too sharp, "Do you have any thoughts about participating in this Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?"

Li Jin met the other party's scrutinizing gaze, and said bluntly without much hesitation: "My father has always been responsible for presiding over all the construction of the memorial, but I have grown so big, but I haven't been able to see it once, it's a pity." So, since I had the opportunity this time, I naturally wanted to see it with my own eyes. ”

This is the rhetoric she had already thought of when she left the palace. It's just that she didn't expect that she didn't need to beg the young son of heaven, so she had the opportunity to go to the heavenly ceremony.

After explaining his thoughts, this time it was Li Jin's turn to explore Qiao Bai's intentions.

"I don't know why Master Qiao asked this question, but what do you have to point out to Li Jin?"

Therefore, both of them felt much more relaxed and casual than when they first met, and Qiao Bai waved his hand directly.

"I don't dare to be a guide, I just think that if Miss Li just wants to see the excitement, then it's good to pretend to be a passerby and mix in with ordinary people to feast her eyes, why bother to go to that troubled water?"

Qiao Bai's straightforward words made Li Jin stunned.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Why does Lord Qiao think that it will be muddy water? I am just temporarily replacing the position of King Huaiyang, can I still cause any trouble?"

Qiao Bai didn't say much, but hinted with a smile: "Now the situation in the court is treacherous, and there will be masters from all sides gathered at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky." I just think that if Miss Li hides farther away, she can be more at ease. ”

Li Jin didn't know that it would definitely be a place that was more complicated and dangerous than today's wedding banquet?

But at the moment, she has a reason why she has to go.

Li Jin got up, blessed Qiao Baifu, and said sincerely: "Thank you Lord Qiao for your kind reminder, but such a rare opportunity, I still want to participate in it with my parents at close range." ”

"Where, Qiao is just a few words, but he doesn't dare to be such a formal gift as Miss Li. ”

Qiao Bai was busy helping Li Jin get up, and at the same time looked at her deeply.

Li Jin, this little girl, has a bold idea, maybe he can save a lot of worry when he goes north with him.

After making the initial judgment and conveying everything to the truth, Qiao Bai was about to say goodbye, but he didn't want Mrs. Li to come to the Little Flower Hall with a team of maids.

Seeing this, Li Jin was also stunned, and stepped forward in a few steps and said, "Mother, why are you here......?"

Mrs. Li pulled Li Jin, patted her hand with a smile, and after telling her to calm down for a while, she turned her head directly to Qiao Bai and said, "Fortunately, it's time to catch up, if Master Qiao plans to leave now, please take these people with you to recognize the way." ”

Finding the way?

Li Jin looked at his mother back and forth, and Qiao Bai, who was obviously moved to tears on the other side, but tried to suppress it.

What happened when she didn't come back?

After a while, Qiao Bai controlled his emotions, and then took a step forward, respectfully and excitedly bowed deeply to Mrs. Li.

"Mrs. Li is really a bodhisattva, and Qiao Mou thanks you for your generosity on behalf of the children of Shantang. ”

Uh, the generosity of the children?

After Li Jin heard Qiao Bai's words clearly, he immediately turned his head to look at the package that the maids were carrying.

No wonder, when my mother came in just now, she smelled a burst of fragrance. It turns out that these bags are full of dry food!

And just when Li Jin turned his head, Mrs. Li had already raised her hand to help Qiao Bai, and said: "Lord Qiao misunderstood, I not only bear the food in the suburban charity hall, but I will handle the affairs of that charity hall properly in the future." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Li smiled kindly: "It's not early today, and I don't know the specific location of Shantang, so I only prepared food to be delivered." ”

Qiao Bai was stunned by Mrs. Li's first half of the sentence, and only after Mrs. Li finished saying it all did he think to respond.

"You, you're going to fund the Benevolence Hall?!"

Mrs. Li was not disgusted by Qiao Bai's reaction, only smiled faintly, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Qiao doesn't believe my words?

Qiao Bai had already come back to his senses at this time, and immediately waved his hand to explain: "Madam misunderstood, Qiao Mou didn't mean that." You have the heart to fund this nameless church, Qiao Mou has long been grateful, where to use what guarantee you provide. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Bai's eyes began to redden, "It's not for Qiao's compliments, Mrs. Li really saved the lives of more than a dozen children in Shantang! I am now the only one to support this nameless charity hall, so when I leave, the children will soon be bullied and lack food and clothing because they are left unattended. But I searched for acquaintances, but no one cared about them, so I tried every opportunity......"

Speaking of this, Qiao Bai gradually calmed down.

After a pause, he added: "Although Mrs. Li is kind and generous, this matter is tedious and tiring. Please take care of the children until Qiao returns to Beijing. Tomorrow I will deliver the silver tickets and the children's roster. ”

Qiao Bai closed his words, and after saluting Mrs. Li again, he was ready to leave.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Mrs. Li.

"Master Joe, wait, I'm not done yet. ”

After Qiao Bai stopped and turned around, Mrs. Li said: "The matter of Shantang, since I said that I will take over, I will no longer stand idly by, and after Lord Qiao returns to Beijing in the future, I will continue to sponsor it, and I will be able to take a stake in Shantang." Tomorrow, Lord Qiao will only send the roster. ”

At this point, Mrs. Li paused for a moment before continuing: "It's just that Master Qiao, don't blame me for being a villain and a gentleman after the villain. If I want to take a stake in Shantang, there is another condition, which requires Lord Qiao to nod and agree. ”

This time, not only Qiao Bai was stunned, but even Li Jin, who had just guessed a little bit of the ins and outs of the matter, couldn't help but be stunned.

Well?!

When did the mother bargain so sharply?

In the past, not to mention buying small things like rouge and gouache, even gold, silver and jade, she wouldn't bargain!

According to the statement provided by the father, the main reason is that the mother's skin is too thin, and before she can bargain with someone, her face will turn red into cooked shrimp.

At this moment, Li Jin felt that his eyes were hot and his nose was a little sour.

She has faintly noticed that her mother's unyielding momentum and domineering attitude of pinching seven inches and not letting go are all because of her.
