Chapter Seventy-Two: Entanglement
Today is a special banquet for the king of Huaiyang to wash the dust of the old princess. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 So as early as two days ago, all the people in the whole house were all men who were rushing to the hands of the workers. Yesterday, I received a decree from the palace, saying that today's gift from the Queen Mother will also be delivered. And as the only beloved daughter of Princess Huaiyang who has not seen Princess Huaiyang for several years, Lord Jingyu, she wants to give a big gift to her mother.
This is what Jing Yu thought about when she heard that her mother was coming a long time ago. But to leave the palace for a while, it requires a very cumbersome program. It is also to ask the emperor to agree, and to hand over the itinerary and time arrangement to Zongzheng Temple for the record, and the most headache is to count, and every step must be according to the itinerary. Otherwise, the guards who accompanied him out of the palace would be as immobile as a stake, and his carriage and himself would not want to leave the place one step away.
Later, I heard that my brother came to Beijing for his mother, and he deliberately reported to the emperor, and Enzhun took him out of the palace to live for a few days. Jing Yu was so happy at the time, but who knew that after his brother heard that he was going to give his mother a gift, he didn't allow it. No matter what Jing Yu said, she was not allowed to leave the palace for half a step, and the degree of supervision was even stricter than that in the palace.
Therefore, Jing Yu's mood has plummeted in recent days, and until today, when he was going to hold a banquet, Jing Yu dared to secretly leave the palace with his attendants to do his own business, for fear that he would be caught by his elusive brother one day earlier.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave the house quietly, he felt that he saw his rival in a hurry. This startled almost didn't allow himself to fall to the ground when he turned around.
Li Jin's appearance is already a neutral beauty. Pretending to be a small student, the chic and handsome of a scholar, pretending to be a woman, and having the graceful and graceful of a woman.
Therefore, if you don't look at your eyebrows and eyes carefully, it is really difficult to identify Li Jin when a woman is dressed from Li Jin's men's clothes. Coupled with Li Jin's dress at this time, even she herself couldn't recognize herself, let alone others.
This is also because Li Jin often does not attend various banquets, although Jing Yu regards her as a thorn in the flesh in his heart, but he has hardly seen Li Jin himself, only in that palace, he has seen Li Jin wearing a Confucian robe and dressed as a scholar.
This is why, Jing Yu walked across from Li Jin, and she didn't realize that this was the reason why she met the opponent by chance last time.
Excited, she turned around suddenly, Jing Yu almost collided with the attendant behind her, and her steps staggered, but fortunately, she often rides a horse and has a good waist, otherwise she would have to look foreign this time.
In order to boost his momentum, and also to calm the panic that had just almost fallen to the ground, Jinyun shouted at Li Jin and his party, who had already walked away behind him: "Slow! Who are you?"
Li Jin thought that he could get away with it this time without meeting with this nonsense county lord, but who knew that he didn't hide in the end. I can't hide from what should have come, Li Jin sighed in his heart, and then turned around.
Mrs. Li didn't seem to expect that the pearl of the old princess's palm would be so domineering. Although it is rumored that she is willful and reckless, she still bears the title of a county lord, and many people evaluate her knowledge. Mrs. Li never thought that such a lady would treat guests so recklessly and rudely.
Mrs. Li frowned unhappily, and there was a voice in her heart that doubted herself, "Is my decision and action right?"
It's just that for now, I can only turn around and see what the delicate county lord wants.
Jing Yu really lived up to Li Jin's 'expectations', and strode in front of Li Jin, who was five or six steps away from her, with a lofty expression.
"I said, who is it, who is here in such a grand costume today, but you want to win the first place in the banquet? It's just that today is in my brother's mansion, and you will not easily go as you wish. Jing Yu said with sarcasm in his tone.
Li Jin was actually very surprised in her heart, and she didn't know why her hostility towards herself was so deep. Even if he had a holiday with Jing Wen, it was also a matter between the two of them, and he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, so why did he attract the hatred of this county lord like this?
Frowning and looking at the face in front of him with nostrils facing the sky, Li Jin confirmed one thing again-a good face, and he was ruined by this commanding look.
Thinking that he could be regarded as a guest at someone else's house this time, whether it was sneering at each other, or ignoring it and turning around and leaving, it seemed that he was too petty. Besides, this person has not said anything unpleasant now, Li Jin decided to let her for the time being, but he didn't intend to let her continue to be so messed around.
Just when he saw her passing by his side, Li Jin had already determined that this person was probably in a hurry to do something behind his back, or something that his elders did not allow.
Looking at the riding costume she was wearing inside, although she was very ostentatious, she was wearing a dark cloak that did not match her back, with the temper of this county lord, it was naturally for another purpose to use such an inconspicuous color. Obviously, it is used to cover when going out or when necessary, to avoid attracting the attention of others.
With such a close distance, Li Jin carefully observed and confirmed his guess, so he smiled and said, "Where, thanks to the old princess's love, today's banquet can also be added to the last seat." Seeing that the county lord is in a hurry, what is the urgency? Why is the county lord in a hurry to do something at such a grand event?"
Jing Yu was pointed to the center, his eyes seemed to be angry with indignation, but two red clouds flew up on his face. Although Jing Yu was embarrassed that he wanted to sneak out, he didn't have the consciousness that leaving quickly would inevitably cause extraneous branches, and he still entangled with Li Jin unrelentingly: "What does this county lord do, I don't have to report to you!"
Seeing that Li Jin and his entourage also entered the mansion from such a small road, he didn't choose to say anything, and said: "The little family's style is indeed not on the stage, and he can only take such a small road to avoid people to enter the house." I don't know why Li Cainu is so anxious to attend the banquet, it's not yet the beginning of the hour, why do you want to help my brother's mansion prepare?"
What he said crossed the basic bottom line, openly and secretly accusing Li Jin of not having a tutor, and even comparing Li Jin to his own subordinate, coupled with the look of contempt in that attitude, it was undisguised at this time.
Li Jin didn't think anything of it, so she had to laugh at her childlike style. just thought that the mother beside him would not be able to bear such humiliation, so he frowned deeply and replied sarcastically: "Oh, since I said that, Li Jin doesn't know what the county lord who walked by here has become?"
Li Jin looked at a courtyard that was suspected to be the main building not far away, and the servants who seemed to be coming here to decorate it were getting closer and closer, and said, "If you want to come here with such a unique scenery, what are the other nobles who are invited to stop here and enjoy the scenery for a while?"
In fact, Li Jin only relied on his own introduction in the "Book of Wood" of the architectural layout of the exclusive courtyard pavilion, guessing that the pavilion is the main house in the courtyard, and the verandah and small bridges arranged here are special for viewing flowers and snow.
And that pavilion is not only hung high with brand-new lanterns, but even the railing on the second floor, which is not often crowded, has been cleaned without snow and debris, and I think that the person who has lived here recently must be the owner of the house, and I see that the road I pass through is also neatly tied, and even the plum blossom branches in the courtyard are built to conform to the layout of the courtyard, so I think that people should often come here to enjoy the scenery.
And judging from the words of the county lord just now, this must not be her residence, otherwise she would not have brought herself into the words when she scolded others. It is conceivable that this is either her mother's residence or her brother's residence, and the first is more likely.
Looking at Jing Yu's wandering eyes and suddenly pursed his lips, Li Jin knew that he had guessed most of them correctly.
Jing Yu just wanted to take advantage of his tongue for a while, so he declared the most vicious contempt he could think of, but he didn't expect that what he said would bring his mother, who had recently lived in this courtyard and was going to come here from time to time to enjoy the snow, and I heard that her mother would also arrange this place as the main place for today's hospitality.
The inner turmoil is even more serious, but the mouth refuses to lose that breath. Jing Yu still gritted his teeth and threatened: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, see how I clean you up at the banquet in a while!"
Li Jin is not afraid of this fierce threat, and after a while, she is the most excessive, just to give herself some differential treatment, and she does not dare to openly and directly bully her mother and daughter. It's just that this kind of emotionality has made Li Jin's impression of this county lord only drop below the freezing point, and he originally felt that he was just reckless, and he was just doing his own thing, but at this time, he felt that he was still a little less hot to look at people, and this person was afraid that some things in his heart had lost his authenticity.
At this time, the county lord had long forgotten that in addition to Li Jin and his own servants, there was also a beautiful lady around, and he no longer estimated his image, and stared at Li Jin with his eyes like copper bells.
Mrs. Li was almost stunned when she saw this scene, although she also grew up in a large family of scholars since she was a child, and it was not uncommon to see these open and secret battles, but she never expected that the county lord in front of her would be so arrogant. And her unwisdom has long been not stupid to describe, at this time she is simply harming others and herself.
Mrs. Li shook her head secretly, seeing that Li Jin did not suffer a big loss, she also watched the changes on the sidelines.
Li Jin saw that the county lord was becoming more and more inward-looking, but she completely ignored her own affairs before, and she was quite helpless for a while, for such an impulsive and irritable person, it was really not bad to say that it was easy to control. I don't want to continue to entangle with her, and I'm even more afraid that she will use force because of annoyance. At that time, she and her mother were in her house, and Li Jin was afraid that a mistake would make her mother suffer.
Here Li Jin was thinking about how to make the county lord retreat from the difficulty, or regain his senses a little, think of her own affairs, and quickly disappear in front of him, but saw a gorgeously dressed servant woman walking over in the distance.
"Why is the county lord here? The old lady is still talking about why did you ask for peace so early this morning, let me go and see if the county lord is going to do something secretly?"
When Jing Yu heard this voice, his face immediately looked like a deflated ball, and the whole person was stunned, but he reacted quickly. turned around and immediately hugged the grandmother, pulled aside and whispered.
