Li Jin understood her father's feelings, and there was nothing she could do except appease her father's anxiety.

And as expected, until he left his parents' compound, Li Jin did not get more useful news.

The days pass in a flash, and the day of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is coming in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, it has become customary for Qiao Bai to frequently enter and leave the Li Mansion.

On the day of the ceremony, he also picked up Mrs. Li and Li Jin on behalf of the Ministry of Rites.

"It's hard work, Lord Qiao, you've been rushing back and forth so early, have you ever had breakfast?"

Mrs. Li and Li Jin, who were dressed in full costumes, got up before dawn to prepare, so although they were a little sleepy at the moment, they were in a state of being well fed and clothed.

On the other hand, Qiao Bai, I don't know if he got up late or wasn't ready before going out.

Not only did he not wear a cloak, but he could also see his face and occasional shivers when it was dark and the lantern was not bright enough.

Qiao Bai smiled disappreciatively, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll just buy some food along the street in a while." It snowed lightly last night, and now it's early to look at it, but I'm afraid that the road out of the city is not easy to walk, Mrs. and Miss, please get in the car, let's go. ”

Mrs. Li had been to the Shantang with Qiao Bai a few times recently, and Li Jin had also gone to the charity twice, and the day before yesterday, Li Jin also proposed to send some more winter supplies such as quilts, firewood and charcoal fire to the children.

So after the two of them heard Qiao Bai's words, they immediately guessed that he must have been worried about Shantang last night, and went to help again in the middle of the night, probably until not long ago, he hurried to their house.

"Come, go and bring out the pastries and the cloak of gooy that you have prepared. ”

Madame Li had instructed the maid and was turning her head to speak to Qiao Bai, but she didn't think that Li Jin had already handed a package to them.

"Mother, here are the buns and shortbreads I brought, and the pastries should be more like than I think Lord Qiao will come. But the cloak still needs the one prepared by the mother, which is wide and thick and the style is more suitable. ”

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "When is Jin'er ready to eat? ”

After that, Mrs. Li turned to Qiao Bai and said, "If Lord Qiao doesn't dislike it, use some for the time being, it's good to keep out the cold." ”

Li Jin nodded with a smile in agreement, and after saluting the two of them, she went back to her carriage.

Although the Ministry of Rites sent someone to pick up their mother and daughter, because Li Jin was in the place of King Huaiyang to participate in the memorial, the seat was not with Mrs. Li, and the path to enter the memorial was also different.

Therefore, Mrs. Li and Li Jin each have a carriage.

And the one who drove for Li Jin was Wu Er, who had just been taken under her command two days ago.

"Miss beware, the wind lamp is not bright enough, the wheels are still a little high, and the paint is new and slippery. ”

Wu Er's diligent advice made Su Jing hold Li Jin's arm for a moment.

"Good. ”

Li Jin replied, already aware of Su Jing's abnormality.

She turned her head to look while continuing to get into the car, but saw Su Jing, a genius who boasted of being exquisite, with a cold and hard face, and the corners of his mouth were tense, like eating a fly.

She was playful, and after getting into the car, she didn't let Su Jing follow outside, and directly called people into the carriage to accompany her.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Wu Er's voice sounded outside the carriage again, "Miss, are you seated?" The front has already begun to move, so we'd better catch up quickly." ”

"Alright, let's go. ”

As soon as Li Jin finished giving the order, he turned his head and saw the undisguised disgust on Su Jing's face.

The corners of her mouth curled, and she quipped: "Why, you still don't like him? It's not that you recommend him to me, he has excellent driving skills, and horse breeding is a must." Oh, by the way, and the ones who are in the market so alert enough?"

Because there were no outsiders in the carriage, Su Jing immediately replied unceremoniously: "What I said is naturally correct, but I can't get used to his appearance of being in the camp." I always feel that he is a little unreliable, or I should find another one for you. ”

When Li Jin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, could this be the same kind of rejection?

When Su Jing had ulterior motives and tried her best to get close to her, she was really a little similar to the current Wu Er, but it didn't mean that everyone would be thought of as harboring evil intentions, right?

After Li Jin laughed, he persuaded Su Jing: "Don't worry, he is just grateful that he is still willing to accept him by his side after knowing the truth, not with ill intentions." ”

Wu Er used to be an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but because he was bored when he waited for the banquet with his master, he drank it himself in the car.

That's not all, I got a little carried away halfway through drinking, made the car full of wine, and threw up a car.

But even in that state, he was able to send his master home safely, and I have to say that his driving skills are really good.

However, the matter of soiling the master's carriage, where was the Xiangfu willing to tolerate, and the next day he beat Wu Er and drove the person away. and publicized this matter, and threatened that there was no place for Wu Er in the capital.

If it weren't for Wu Er's reluctance to the ancestral house, he would probably have left Beijing to find another way out.

Li Jin said, thinking of Wu Er's remorse and helplessness when he was asked, and felt that he should have learned a long lesson.

"But what you said is also right, it is good for him to be serious about his errands, but this attitude should be changed. I'm not holding me hostage, why is he so cautious?"

Hearing Li Jin say this, Su Jing grinded his teeth, but his thoughts fluctuated in his eyes but he didn't say anything more.

Soon, they went out of the city, and because of Qiao Bai's car from the Ministry of Rites, they were able to take a shortcut, and they arrived at the mounds where the memorial was held.

Li Jin had to walk a little further inward, and Qiao Bai also had official business, so the three of them had to go their separate ways after getting off at the entrance.

Qiao Bai first said goodbye to the Li family's mother and daughter, and then Mrs. Li took Li Jin's hand, but she refused to let go.

"Jin'er, you remember that this is in the suburbs. But you can't run around like you're in the city! And there are wild beasts in the woods around here. Thirteen, you must have watched the young lady for me......"

Mrs. Li couldn't rest assured that Li Jin could not be relieved, and she said the words of advice no less than ten times before letting Li Jin and Su Jing leave.

At this time, the sky was already a little gray, and the attendant who led the way said that the emperor's chariot had already left, and it should have arrived in half an hour.

"Can I walk around a little bit and warm up during this time?"

Li Jin saw that the waiter looked at her with a look of "no rules" and "no lesson", and she immediately explained: "It's not that it's not dawn, sitting dry, or outdoors." It's not that I'm afraid of being frostbitten, or if I'm too cold to sleep, wouldn't it be rude for Your Majesty to come?"

The chamberlain was stunned for a moment, took a step forward, stared at Li Jin and looked at it carefully, and immediately asked, "Hey, you are the daughter of the Ministry of Works, Li Jin?"
