Chapter 10: The Oral Message
couldn't resist Brother Jie'er's insistence, and when he got out of Yuntian Academy, Jiang Lingxi found a nearby medical center and asked for a few plasters.
Brother Jie couldn't help it, "Sister, I originally wanted to accompany you out to relax, you see this trouble." โ
Jiang Lingxi didn't care, sooner or later she would have to meet with the Zhan family, unless she hid in the mansion for the rest of her life and didn't come out.
looked at the sky and discussed with Brother Jie: "I'm tired of making such a fuss, find a tea house to rest?" โ
"Don't go to the teahouse." Brother Jie touched his stomach and smiled: "I patronized and played at the dinner at noon, and I didn't eat much, so I'm a little hungry at this time." โ
Saying that, he pulled up Jiang Lingxi, "I just know that there is a good restaurant here, I'll take you there." โ
Jiang Lingxi followed him into an alley, stopped in front of a store, and saw a flag standing in front of the door, and the four big words "century-old store" were impressive, and he couldn't help but look at Brother Jie, "The rank is quite high." โ
Brother Jie laughed, "Sister, take a closer look at the small words on both sides." โ
Jiang Lingxi was confused, and when he looked carefully, there was indeed a line of small characters on each side of the oversized "century-old store", in the second font. Left: distance from the store; Right: Ninety-nine years away.
"Read it together." Brother Jie prompted on the side.
"This store is still ninety-nine years away from the century-old store...... Jiang Lingxi read it in a low voice, and suddenly dizzy, "This belongs to defrauding consumers, and the industry and commerce don't check it?" โ
"It's just a gimmick, what's not cheating, I'm quite interesting to look at." Brother Jie scratched his head a little innocently, pulled Jiang Lingxi into the door, and said with a smile as he walked: "If my friends hadn't told me in advance, I would have been deceived when I looked at it like this, ha, but this shop is newly opened, and those who have come to eat say that the taste is still good." โ
It was not a serious meal, there were few people in the store, and the sisters and brothers directly found a place in the lobby below, and someone immediately came to greet them.
Brother Jie ordered a bowl of noodles, and Jiang Lingxi asked for a little chaos.
After a while, the noodles were brought up first, Jiang Lingxi signaled to Brother Jie to eat first, and watched him pick up the noodles with chopsticks to cool them down, and then distracted himself recalled the scene of Fang Cai, and said casually: "I see that you just showed those hands, and they are quite decent." โ
Sucking--, Brother Jie put a stick of noodles into his mouth, and said vaguely with his big tongue: "That's!" Those villains in Xuanqing Sect are all strict with me, and your brother has not been in vain for most of the past half a year. โ
Jiang Lingxi saw that he was still quite proud, and he had the intention to beat him, so he deliberately ridiculed: "They only teach you martial arts, but they don't teach you the truth that good men don't fight with women?" โ
"Why didn't you teach?" Brother Jie didn't seem to understand her intentions, and said seriously while holding the bowl of noodles: "My master said that a warrior's character is his attitude towards the weak. โ
Then nodded slightly, "I'm convinced, I won't do anything to women when I'm free." โ
Jiang Lingxi raised her eyebrows disappreciatively, "You know that Zhanli is a woman dressed as a man......"
"She's the exception." Brother Jie interrupted without waiting for her to finish, but he was very calm.
Jiang Lingxi took a hear, determined that he was quibbling, and pouted: "If it wasn't for me and Cheng Liu blocking you that day, you would have rushed up to tear Jiang Linran apart, and she was an exception?" โ
"That's right." Brother Jie didn't raise his head, and he could see that he was really hungry.
Jiang Lingxi rolled his eyes, "There are so many exceptions for you." โ
Brother Jie finally stopped eating noodles and looked up at her a little blankly, "Not much, right?" Just two or more? โ
Jiang Lingxi was a little curious when he heard this, and leaned forward and asked, "Which two?" โ
The bright-eyed young man smiled at her, "When it comes to mother and you." โ
Jiang Lingxi was stunned, paused, and nodded very happily.
Well, not much, not much, indeed.
"That's right, sister", Brother Jie took a sip of noodle soup, put down the bowl and asked, "What you said to that woman just now, why does it sound a little strange to me?" Aren't you Jiang Linxi, how can anyone call themselves 'her'. โ
Jiang Lingxi's expression froze, and he was silent for a moment at his younger brother, and finally sighed lightly, "You don't understand what I said." โ
Fortunately, the shopkeeper came forward in time to solve the siege, and brought the little chaos she wanted, and explained apologetically that the stuffing was not enough, and it was now adjusted, so it was slower. Jiang Lingxi naturally said that it didn't matter.
After such an interruption, Jiang Linjie stopped delving into it, ate a few more bites, put down his chopsticks, and glanced at Jiang Lingxi with some concern, "Sister, let me tell you something." โ
This chaos is quite good, Jiang Lingxi ate it with relish, didn't care about the tone in his younger brother's tone, and replied casually: "You say." โ
"Just now, Prime Minister Li Cheng's son really doesn't know the two of us, but there are so many people present, there are always people who know, he has to be careful to investigate, and he doesn't have to bother with anything."
"Poofโ"
At that time, Jiang Lingxi was picking up the bowl and taking a sip of soup, and it squirted out when he heard the words. Jiang Linjie hurriedly cared: "It's okay, sister?" โ
"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally got burned, cough."
This little rabbit cub is typical of himself when he is full and does not let others stop.
โฆโฆ
Brother Jie'er's worries were not superfluous, on the afternoon of the 29th of the lunar month, less than a day after the incident, Jiang Lu hurried back to the mansion from outside, called Jiang Lingxi's sister and brother to the study, and said angrily: "You two can't play in the house, can you?" What are you doing outside? Prime Minister Li Cheng's son directly sued the emperor! โ
Brother Jie scratched his head, "Dad, that Li Ang is a bully, don't you often teach us to see ...... road"
"Don't talk about that yet." Jiang Lu held the table with one hand, and made an interrupting gesture with the other, "The emperor has ordered you two to enter the palace immediately to confront Li Ang face to face." โ
Brother Jie immediately turned around and grabbed Jiang Lingxi's arm, with a tragic expression, "Sister, let's escape!" โ
Jiang Lingxi couldn't help laughing, and confirmed to Jiang Lu: "Only Li Ang? โ
Jiang Lu glared at her, "Is Li Ang easy to deal with?" The Li family is all thieves, this is called saluting first and then soldiering! โ
Jiang Lingxi suddenly wilted.
Seeing that the sisters and brothers both lowered their heads and did not speak, Jiang Lu sighed angrily and dismissed: "You two change your clothes and go first." โ
Jiang Linjie was still a little reluctant, and tugged at Jiang Lingxi's sleeve, "Sister, I'm serious, you can pack up your things and go back to Xuanqing Sect with me for a while now, can they still go all the way to chase after me for such a trivial matter?" โ
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Lingxi was considering the feasibility of this proposal, only to hear Jiang Lu scold, and immediately shuddered.
"Daddy!" Boss Jiang Linjie protested unhappily, "Are you really willing to watch the two of us enter the palace and die?" โ
Jiang Lu shook his head and closed his eyes helplessly, Jiang Lingxi immediately shuddered again, for fear that he would say something like "Dad is reluctant to watch you two die, so Dad closes his eyes" or something like that.
Fortunately, this was just her wishful thinking and delusional victimization, Jiang Lu slowed down, and then opened his eyes again, "Since it is confrontation, there is still some room for maneuver." The Li family is really unreasonable in this matter, and I think the emperor is happy to take this opportunity to suppress the current situation. โ
Jiang Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and finally felt a little empty in his heart.
Jiang Lu said again: "You two go to the palace first and deal with it carefully, try to delay the time, I have secretly sent people to the various academies to coordinate, see if I can mobilize the students to petition you, the matter is bigger, and it is good to suppress the arrogance of the Li family." โ
The sisters and brothers looked at each other in surprise and said in unison, "Thank you, Father!" โ
