Qu Jie smiled heartily: "Miss Li, let you see the jokes, I'm used to it casually, don't mind." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Qu ...... Miss, I'm too worried. ”

Li Guan withdrew his curious gaze and said sincerely.

She seems to have heard that Qu Fu has a sibling sister, but she didn't expect it to be such a character.

"You better call me Qu Jie directly." Qu Jie's expression was quite helpless.

Her appearance really doesn't match "Miss", Li Guan muttered in his heart, but after all, everyone has only met for the first time, so it's better to be polite.

Li Guan nodded perfunctorily and said, "The two of you will chat slowly, I'll go back to Zhijin Hall first." ”

"Ah, you're leaving?" Dong Linzhi looked at Li Guan, and his tone was quite reluctant, "Qu Jie and I have an appointment to drink here, why don't you stay with us!" Anyway, it's not interesting on the side of Zhijintang, a group of boring women are chirping and talking crookedly, don't you like to eat with them? ”

How can anyone speak like this......

Li Guan didn't bother to take care of him, and said to Qu Jie: "I've been out for a while, and if I don't go back, my mother should be worried." ”

She thought that Qu Jie would say something like "Then you go back quickly", but she said: "If that's the case, send someone to say it, so as not to worry about Mrs." ”

Then, without waiting for Li Guan to answer, he shouted: "Good slave! ”

Li Guan only felt that for a moment in front of him, a thin boy appeared beside them.

"You find someone to talk to Mrs. Li, just say that Miss Li and I hit it off at first sight, and I want to talk more, so I won't go back to Zhijintang for the time being."

"Yes."

The good slave responded, and the "whoosh" disappeared again.

Li Wan couldn't control the surprised expression on his face anymore, he didn't expect Qu Jie to have such a skilled person around him.

"Alright, alright, let's have a drink!" Dong Linzhi said with a grin.

Qu Jie turned over the tree neatly, threw down an oiled paper bag, and then jumped down with a small wooden table.

Dong Linzhi opened the paper bag, and inside it turned out to be two fist-sized wine glasses and a roast chicken.

These two people are frequent visitors here, and even the tools are ready.

Dong Linzhi put things on the table and sat on the ground.

Qu Jie also sat down cross-legged.

The two of them looked up at Li Wan in unison.

It seems that he can't just leave, Li Wan thought about it, took out a handkerchief on the mat, followed their example, and sat down.

She still likes this Qu Jie, there are few women like her, her demeanor is casual, and her personality is very refreshing. Although it was only the first time they met, she felt that Qu Jie's attitude towards her was very friendly.

It's not bad to make friends with such people.

Qu Jie glanced at Li Wan and threw Dong Linzhi an appreciative look.

Dong Linzhi grinned.

He put the two cups in front of Li Guan and Qu Jie, filled them with wine, and then carried the wine jar and smiled: "Dry!" ”

Li Wan and Qu Jie picked up their wine glasses and touched them with him.

Dong Linzhi took a sip, and Qu Jie raised her head and drank it all.

Li Guan was easy to drink and didn't dare to drink more, so he took a sip and put down the cup.

At this point, Qu Jie and Dong Linzhi did not force her.

Qu Jie picked up the wine jar and poured wine, and asked Dong Linzhi: "Why did you come so long?" ”

"I went to see my cousin, and he grabbed me and gave me a few words."

"How old are you, Shen Guogong still treats you like a child. Which one is it for this time? ”

"My cousin is also doing it for my good." Dong Linzhi first refuted a sentence before he said, "Two days ago, when I entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, the Eighth Prince dragged me to Bima, but I fell down because I was useless, and my head was broken. ”

His tone was flat, as if he was saying that the little grandson of the janitor's family walked unsteadily and fell.

Qu Jie said "oh", took off the scimitar on her waist, skillfully sliced the tender meat on the chicken breast, and said to Li Guan: "You taste it, I roasted it myself." ”

Oh?

Li Guan's eyes widened involuntarily, and he took a piece and put it in his mouth with anticipation.

The meat is tender, fragrant, and completely authentic.

"It's delicious." Her fair assessment.

Qu Jie smiled faintly.

Seeing this, Dong Linzhi took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Li Guan: "You wipe your hands with this." ”

Li Wan hesitated for a moment before taking it and thanked him softly.

Who told her handkerchief to be used to pad her buttocks......

Dong Linzhi looked at her and smiled ...... Foolish.

Qu Jie's gaze turned between them, revealing an ambiguous smile.

Li Wan wiped his hands generously and let her look at it.

Dong Linzhi took a sip of wine and said to Qu Jie: "When I came in, I saw that your brother was drinking with several adults from the military department, but he was pulled away by Lord Guo, do you know what it was for?" ”

Qu Jie glanced at Li Wan, and saw her eating roast chicken silently, so she said slowly: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard my brother mention a few words yesterday, it seems to be for military supplies." ”

"Isn't the quartermaster already gone?"

"That's not enough money. The reason why the battle with Xifan took so long was that of course there were reasons why the generals were not effective, and the overall quality of the soldiers was not good enough was also a very important reason. Dakang has been peaceful for more than ten years, and now the surrounding small countries and barbarians are beginning to move again, don't look at the time of our victory now, maybe one day there will be another war. Soldiers cannot be strong without training, and if you want to cultivate an army with strong soldiers and strong horses, the silver burned into it is more than just a little military need. ”

Dong Linzhi said thoughtfully: "No wonder I have been listening to the queen mother talk to the queen mother recently, let her take good care of the emperor's body, the emperor has not been walking around the harem often recently, and I think I am also worried about these things." In the past two years, farming has not been good, let's just say that there is a snow disaster in Shandong, and then a spring flood, not to mention that there is no harvest of grains, and the imperial court has to allocate a lot of silver for disaster relief, and no matter how full the treasury is, it can't help but ......."

Li Wan listened, his heart moved slightly.

"Hey, but it's useless for us to talk about these things." Dong Linzhi sighed.

"Also, someone has to worry about these things."

Qu Jie smiled and turned her head to look at Li Guan: "Miss Li, there is something I'm curious about. ”

Li Guan vaguely guessed what she wanted to ask, and said, "You say." ”

"I heard that Miss Li was almost carjacked on the road some time ago, and the other party is said to be from the Golden Crossbow Camp?"

Sure enough, this is the case, Li Guan thought to himself.

Dong Linzhi also looked at her curiously when he heard this.

Li Guan secretly estimated Qu Jie's purpose in his heart.

She is Qu Fu's younger sister, her eldest brother works under Qu Fu, theoretically everyone should be the same, she should know a little bit about the ins and outs of things, why do you still ask this question?

Is it curiosity?

Li Wan looked at Qu Jie's expression quietly, and saw that her face was calm and her eyes were clear, not like she had any malicious intentions.

Qu Jie saw that she hadn't spoken, and said with a smile: "I heard that the rumors outside are very exaggerated, so I'm a little curious, if you don't want to say it, it's okay." ”

Whatever her purpose is, there is always nothing wrong with the real and the false.

Li Guan pretended to be embarrassed, lowered his head, and said, "At that time, in the wilderness, the other party was extremely powerful, and the guards clashed in order to protect me...... Actually, I'm also at fault for this, and the adults who came to the Golden Crossbow Camp didn't mean to embarrass me, but I overreacted and made everyone laugh......"

Simplifying the process of things, not only admitting their own mistakes, but also not blindly taking the responsibility on themselves.

Qu Jie was noncommittal when she heard this, and only smiled and said, "So that's the case."

On the contrary, Dong Linzhi patted his thigh and said, "I'll just say, it must be a misunderstanding, it's all those people outside who are listening to it!" ”

Li Guan pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Third master, next time you see Shen Guogong, please thank him for me, thank him for having a lot, and don't know how to end this matter with me." ”

"No problem, I'll bring it for you." Dong Lin took it in one mouthful, "Don't worry, my cousin is not the kind of stingy person, he won't blame you." ”

"That's good."

Li Guan showed a relieved smile.

Qu Jie's eyes flashed, she picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, let's have another drink!" ”

When Li Wan returned to Zhijintang, she was babbling and singing on the stage, and she saw Mrs. Li sitting among a bunch of noblewomen, talking to people with a smile on her face.

She hesitated to go over.

At this time, Mrs. Li had already seen her, her face was happy, and she beckoned her to pass.

Li Guan had no choice but to walk over.

"Mother."

"Well, you're back?"

Mrs. Li took her hand, with a loving smile on her face, and her eyes were extremely soft, which made Li Guan a little uncomfortable.

The maid moved an embroidery pier over, and she sat down.

"Come, meet the ladies."

Li Wan got up and saluted, smiling shyly.

Most of the people here are the family members of the officials of the six ministries, and she knows few people.

The ladies all smiled and accepted her salute, and their eyes were a little scrutiny.

A lady took her hand and smiled at Mrs. Li: "This child is beautiful and looks demure. ”

Honglu Temple's wife He Zhao, Li Guan met at the birthday banquet of Wu'anbo Mansion.

"You've won a prize." Mrs. Li said politely.

Mrs. He asked Li Guan: "I heard your mother say that you are very good at painting, and once painted a lifelike portrait for her, but is it true?" ”

Li Wan was shocked in his heart, and looked at Mrs. Li reflexively.

Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile, and she was actually a picture of honor.

She pressed the turbulent waves in her heart and said modestly: "It's just a little interest on weekdays, and I don't dare to call it excellent." ”

Mrs. He smiled faintly when she heard this, looked at her delicately twice, and let go of her hand.

Li Guan lowered his eyebrows and sat down obediently, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

What's the matter with the mother? To show off her paintings in front of these well-informed ladies?

Others don't know that Mrs. He is famous for being good at communicating, and she is famous in the social circle of the capital.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before everyone knows that she is good at painting......

Li Guan couldn't help but have a headache.

"How did you end up with Miss Qu? What did they talk about? Mrs. Li said curiously.

Others couldn't help but listen with their ears bracked.
