Chapter 8: Returning Home

"Concubine Jing, but, where did I get the banquet, didn't I say that I was not in good health before, and I would be depressed when there were many people, but she also agreed, saying that I would not be called to the general banquet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Li Jin wondered.

Mrs. Li's evaluation of the relationship between Concubine Jing and Li Jin is actually basically in line with the facts. At this moon worship festival, Li Jin's improvised moon endowment, magnificent and graceful words, and the aura revealed in the text overwhelmed the crowd. Even the Jinshi present and the new champion have been applauding.

Because of this, Li Jin, who had no suspense, won the most dazzling glory of the night. And Concubine Jing seems to be the icing on the cake, saying that such a wonderful person was hidden in the boudoir before, and the emperor wanted to accept Li Jin as his goddaughter on the spot, which was not only to protect this beautiful and dignified beauty, but also to find a relative for herself.

And the moon worship banquet was originally set up by the emperor to relieve the pain of Concubine Jing's homesickness, and specially invited hundreds of officials and family members. How can there be a reason why Concubine Jing should not be.

Therefore, another climax of the banquet became congratulating Concubine Jing for getting a good daughter.

In fact, Lord Li and his wife don't want their daughter to get involved in the court and harem, and they don't even want Li Jin to marry into a rich family with an official title or title, they just hope that she can have no worries about food and clothing.

Although she is worried that Li Jin is dedicated to laying on the flowers and plants of chess art, she also hopes that she can live such a simple and happy life in her life.

The husband and wife had already planned to summon a door-to-door son-in-law for Li Jin, with the family resources of the Li Mansion, as long as the son-in-law had a skill and no bad hobbies, with Li Jin's personality and interests, he would be rich and happy in the second half of his life.

Who knew that this moon worship banquet actually snatched out the treasures that the two of them cherished and showed to the world.

Therefore, as long as Concubine Jing is mentioned, Mrs. Li hates it so much.

Seeing that her mother was grinding her teeth again, Li Jin immediately rolled her eyes, thinking of a witty remark to attract Mrs. Li's attention: "Mother, have you ever seen the sunrise on the ice lake?"

Li Jin said with a mysterious expression.

"Huh? Where are you going to play again?" Although Mrs. Li blamed, her expression was full of love.

"It's just that when I came back, I spared some roads, do you remember the lake next to Zhuangzi, when the morning glow is full of sky, the lake seems to have become a part of the sky. It's like I can step into the heavenly realm with one step forward. At this time, thinking of the sunrise he saw in the morning, Li Jin's face would still show a look of fascination.

Mrs. Li doted on the broken hair next to Li Jin's ear, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned with a smile.

"Then you went to the lake to play?" Master Li's voice once again pulled Li Jin back to reality.

Li Jin stuck out his tongue and quickly cated behind Mrs. Li. And Mrs. Li turned around beautifully and stared at Lord Li.

Seeing this, Master Li said helplessly: "I didn't say no, I just asked." ”

Mrs. Li then withdrew her eye knife.

Li Jin also showed half a small face behind Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's only for a while." ”

"Hey," Master Li sighed helplessly, and then asked with a slightly unnatural expression, "Then when did you enter the city, and which gate did you take?"

Li Jin chuckled in his heart, sure enough, this matter is really not small, but whether to tell his father or not? Li Jin hadn't figured it out yet, but when he inadvertently saw that his mother was also looking at his father in confusion, Li Jin immediately paid attention. Even if you want to say it, you can't say it until you're alone with your father.

Li Jin smiled and continued: "Well, I watched the sunrise for a while, enjoyed the snow scene for a while, and built a snowman with Xiangxue, but it wasn't for a long time." After that, in order to make the clothes dry better, he chose the Suzaku Gate to enter the city. ”

The implication is that he took a long detour in order to stay in the car for a while, so that his clothes could be dried and he would not be scolded when he returned home.

Master Li, who heard the answer, seemed to be relieved at this time, and only after taking a long breath did he say, "It's the first time I've found out that you are greedy for fun, and it's also beneficial." After speaking, he smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with his judgment.

Li Jin secretly said in his heart, "If only I could be greedy to play to the end......

Mrs. Li finally couldn't stand Lord Li's dumb riddle, and said, "Old man, if you are so divine, don't blame me for letting you sleep in the study tonight." He glared at Master Li viciously.

Lord Li still looked at Mrs. Li and Li Jin with a smile and said, "Where did I go to God? You didn't go out today, Jin'er chose a long way to enter Beijing." So you don't know yet. ”

"What's wrong?" Li Jin and Mrs. Li both looked like they were listening attentively, waiting for Master Li's next words.

Master Li touched his beard and said slowly, "Who do you guess entered Beijing today?"

Mrs. Li seemed to think that it was hateful for Lord Li to deliberately sell Guanzi, and when she wanted to ask Lord Li about the final result, Li Jin suddenly felt blessed in her heart, and remembered the officer wearing fine scale armor, which should not be worn by ordinary people.

"Could it be the general of the Northern Guard?" Li Jin was a little incredulous.

Master Li nodded, with a teachable expression: "Well, but now I will change my name to General Zhenguo." ”

"But didn't you say that you would not be back until the middle of this month?" But then he immediately became unhappy.

"That Laoshizi banquet, what do you want us Jin'er to do, how many courtiers, officers, and ladies can go?" Mrs. Li looked at Li Jin with pity, as if she was afraid that Li Jin would be eaten by that group of people at the banquet in the evening.

Li Jin couldn't help laughing: "Mother, I'm not a paper paste, where did I get to such a point?" and then pulled Mrs. Li's sleeve and began to be coquettish to make Mrs. Li happy.

Parents are the most difficult to withstand such an offensive by their children. Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Li smiled again.

Seeing that the situation was about the same, Li Jin stopped pestering Mrs. Li and asked Master Li: "But, why did it advance so early, and there was no news at all before?"

Mrs. Li was also attracted to attention, and together they watched Master Li wait for an answer.

"Now there are different opinions in the court, and there is no one who can believe it. It's just that I heard that after being promoted to the general of Zhenguoda, Li Hui was placed under house arrest in a separate courtyard. It's just that it's not exact news either. Thinking about the banquet in the evening, this general is still the protagonist, how could it be impossible for him to be placed under house arrest just after arriving in Beijing today?" Lord Li also had an inexplicable expression.

"It's hard to guess what the family thinks about this day, and the general's style of acting is also full of weirdness, it's really ......" Mrs. Li sighed with emotion, and she was no longer interested in these court matters. Turning his head to Li Jin, he said, "I said yes tonight, and the people who participated were all the emperor's relatives and the heads of various yamen. Concubine Jing has to ask you to participate, my mother can't go with you, be more careful. ”

Li Jin looked at Mrs. Li, who was worried about her eyebrows, and said unbearably: "Don't worry, mother, that is, go to have a meal, watch singing and dancing for a while, and Jin'er will come back." I don't talk much, and I don't go to the middle of nowhere. ”

Under Li Jin's solemn assurance, Mrs. Li finally smiled comfortably.

Just after the Li couple was relieved, Li Jin accompanied the second elder to have refreshments for a while, chatted for a while about the novelties in Zhuangzi, and finally got the opportunity to go back to the room to rest, and it was too late at this time.

Xiangxue had already received the order, went back to Li Jin's boudoir and laid out the futon, just waiting for her to come back and rest.

"But is anyone talking about what happened today in private?" Li Jin asked Xiangxue quietly. In the end, today's events are too strange, and Li Jin is afraid that the people who escort him will publicize it.

Xiangxue shook her head and said, "Miss, don't worry, everyone is tight-lipped." After I divided the money you had secretly accumulated in the name of the account office according to Miss's instructions, everyone said thank you for her kindness. And they all said that they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, and they would never mention a word about this matter today. ”

Li Jin nodded, but his brows did not stretch a bit.

Xiangxue found that Li Jin's face was not depressed, thinking that Li Jin cared about the money, so she immediately explained Li Jin and said: "After the young lady distributes it according to your instructions, there are still twenty taels of broken silver left in your box......

Li Jin did laugh, but he was amused by his maid, "Do you feel sorry for those silvers?"

Li Jin knocked Xiangxue's forehead with a smile, shook his head and said, "Okay, don't guess, go and help me watch the door, I'll sleep for a while." ”

After speaking, he sent Xiangxue out, and she didn't need to wait for her to change her clothes.

After Xiangxue closed the door outside the house, Li Jin took off her strength and lay on the bed behind her.

Such a big event was hidden from the family, which made Li Jin feel uncomfortable. She wasn't sure if her decision was correct, but seeing her parents talking happily in the hall, Li Jin felt that she couldn't tell her father the truth.

Thinking that because of his own reasons, that peace would be broken, Li Jin felt as if his whole body was about to be soaked in ice water, and he was suffocated.

She is trying to recall everything that happened today, hoping to find a key point that can help her solve this ambiguous situation. Maybe if you see that point clearly, you can get out of the way, but the body that has been tired for a day doesn't seem to intend to let Li Jin get her wish.

It may also be that the mood of the day has been up and down, and the frightened spirit finally unloads all its defenses after returning to a safe place.

Li Jin fell asleep unconsciously.

When the sun was dark and the sky had been reflected in the sunset into golden orange, Li Jin was woken up by Xiangxue's knock on the door.

Later, when Xiangxue pushed the door in, Li Jin was sitting in front of the dresser tidying herself up. But Xiangxue found that Li Jin was still wearing the same clothes they wore when they came back, and although the futon was pressed and full of wrinkles, the quilt was not opened.

"Miss, if you fall asleep like this, you will catch a cold. Xiangxue thought about it again and again, but still persuaded her.

"Well, it's fine once or twice, and it's warm in the house. Li Jin replied disappreciatively.

"Come and help me clean up, someone will come to the palace to pick it up in a while." Li Jin didn't give Xiangxue a chance to refute and said directly.
