Chapter 250: Fulfilling Half of the Promise
Li Jin was moved, but before Mrs. Li could speak, she had already stopped her mother-in-law first.
"Mother, let's wait for this matter first. ”
Immediately afterwards, she turned to Qiao Bai and said, "Lord Qiao, forgive me, although I am in favor of taking a stake in Shantang, but I don't think it is appropriate to do this now." But don't worry, even if my mother doesn't participate anymore in the end, I won't let this matter go undone. Leave it to me, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer within three days. ”
Li Jin did not object to her mother doing good, but let her mother do good in this way, and she felt uneasy.
This kind of good deeds, mixed with too many personal feelings, are definitely more burdensome than beneficial to others and oneself.
But before Qiao Bai could speak, Mrs. Li slapped Li Jin directly on the forehead.
"You girl, you really don't know the rules more and more. I didn't see my mother and Master Qiao talking, how could you just interject?"
Although Mrs. Li was in a hurry, her words and actions that seemed to reproach were only full of doting and love.
Qiao Bai's gaze flicked back and forth between Li Jin and Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "Miss Li, why don't you let Madame finish speaking?" Madame said that it was a condition, but Qiao only felt that this was an equivalent exchange. If he receives favors from others in vain, Qiao is not sure. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Li Jin's mother and daughter to sit down and speak, and said: "And Qiao is a nosy person, if the lady's request does not violate public order and good customs, power and morality." Even if there is no good hall, Qiao should do his best. ”
After nodding with a smile, Mrs. Li glared at Li Jin and pulled her to sit down beside her.
After that, Mrs. Li spoke again and said solemnly to Qiao Bai: "Listening to what Master Qiao said, it can be seen that you are a safe person. This is not against your authority, but it will require you to pay more attention. ”
At this point, Mrs. Li pulled Li Jin to her side, looked at Qiao Bai seriously, and said, "Please take care of Li Jin as a child in the good hall when you go north." Of course, not only take care of and maintain, but also ask you to stop her nonsense for me as a mother when she may go astray. ”
At this time, Li Jin's hand was tightly wrapped by her mother's slender and soft palm, and the warm feeling seemed to have flowed into her heart along the eight veins of the Qi Jing from the palm, and she could barely sit still.
Although Li Jin smiled bitterly, his eyes were already sour and warm, and he would probably lose his temper on the spot if he was not careful.
Qiao Bai didn't expect that he would receive such a commission.
After he was stunned for a moment, he immediately got up and sincerely hugged his fists and said, "Mrs. Li, don't worry, Qiao admires you and Miss Li's personality." Qiao took this promise and is bound to do his best. ”
Mrs. Li got up and saluted, "There's Lord Laujo, please." ”
After that, Mrs. Li and Li Jin sent Qiao Bai away, and when they returned to the backyard as children, the excitement in Mrs. Li's heart still did not subside.
It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Li began to settle accounts with Li Jin's previous troublemaking behavior.
"Jin'er, come here. ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jin immediately smiled, turned around and trotted away from the dangerous place.
She didn't forget to remind loudly as she ran: "Mother, isn't Daddy resting tomorrow? If you don't prepare dinner, Daddy will only be hungry when he comes back." ”
Mrs. Li was about to have Li Jin arrested, but when she heard this, she laughed and scolded Li Jin for "a little fox with nine tails", and then hurriedly went to the small kitchen with the maid to continue the dinner of Zhang Luo's family.
After Li Jin fled back to Jinyue Pavilion, without waiting for a breath, he asked the little maid to find Su Jing and asked him to wait for her in the study.
After changing into her regular home clothes, when she rushed to the study, Su Jing was making tea.
"Miss, come and try my handiwork, and rest. ”
When no one else was present, Su Jing had already regained his faint appearance.
Li Jin saw that although his expression was calm and his tone of voice was not unusual, when she answered, she couldn't help but feel weak.
Li Jin knows it in her own heart, who told her to keep not listening to persuasion and trying her best to support it until now.
Just after she removed her makeup, she raised her eyes and was almost scared to death by herself in the mirror.
And at this moment, because she doesn't need to see her parents, she hasn't used rouge gouache to repair it for the time being, and she must still have that pale and haggard face.
"Oh, yes, I'm thirsty. ”
While speaking, Li Jin pretended to be natural and did the opposite side of Su Jing.
However, fortunately, she had already thought of countermeasures before coming to the study.
After sitting down, Li Jin immediately began to change the topic.
"By the way, the news I wanted to tell you before can only be regarded as mixed......
Li Jin told Su Jing what he heard from Li Hui without reservation.
His father will also appear at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and she has the ability to take Su Jing to verify it in person at this time.
It's just that, at this point, Li Jin looked at Su Jing apologetically and said, "But there is one thing, I'm sorry." I have promised Li Hui that if you want to see your father with your own eyes, you will not be able to reveal your identity. ”
If he can't reveal his identity, he naturally can't ask about what happened and why, let alone mention his mother.
This kind of meeting is still a bit far from the result promised by Li Jin at the beginning.
Therefore, at this moment, she is holding this kind of half-baked fruit, and she is really a little shameless to see Su Jing.
But Su Jing not only didn't accuse Li Jin, but after thinking for a moment, he asked excitedly: "Miss, have you ever asked the person who is suspected of being my father, what is his identity now, and where does he live?"
Li Jin shook his head and said even more regretfully: "I asked, but Li Hui was too cautious, saying that he was afraid that we would startle the snake, and he refused to reveal a single thing about this." Just say, if you are willing to meet like this, when that day comes, he will arrange it. ”
This is why Li Jin is willing to promise Li Hui that he will not let Su Jing reveal his identity.
As long as there is the slightest possibility of exposure, Li Hui probably won't allow them to meet.
Li Jinzheng didn't know what to say, but he didn't want Su Jing to take a light breath, so he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Miss can help Su Jing to this point, Su Jing is already grateful." You don't have to worry about it, let me think about the agreement between us. ”
Li Jin immediately waved his hand and said: "I blame me for not doing a good job, and I can only do this step with my ability, so the agreement between us has been written off at this point." ”
Su Jing wanted to say more, but Li Jin preemptively said: "These days, you have also helped me a lot, so I can't let you ask me directly about what I want to say, let me knock on the other party's identity when the time comes." When the time comes, with your ingenuity, it should be easy to find your father again. ”
Su Jing saw that Li Jin insisted, so he didn't say anything more.
At this time, Mrs. Li sent someone to find Li Jin to go to the Little Flower Hall, and Father Li had already returned home.
