Chapter Eighty-Three: No One Believes the Truth
"I want to meet Li Jie!" Zhu Yuning suddenly made a request to Zhu Yuanzhang at the end.
"Nonsense, even if you are engaged, you can't meet according to the etiquette law, don't mention this matter again!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very displeased when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang, I have no objection to your marriage, but at least let me see him, otherwise I will not be reconciled!" Zhu Yuning said again very stubbornly, she also knew that her request was a bit excessive, but even if it was a marriage, she wanted to know what kind of person she was going to marry? Although the information in hand is very detailed, it is far less accurate than what you have seen with your own eyes!
"You ......" Zhu Yuanzhang was also very annoyed, but he couldn't bear to blame this eldest granddaughter, so he finally had to say angrily, "You go to Yunxi yourself, don't bother me!" ”
Zhu Yuning was overjoyed when he heard his grandfather's words, and immediately saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Grandpa Xie Huang, Yuning retires!" ”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not explicitly agree, he asked Zhu Yuning to find Zhu Yunxi, you must know that Zhu Yunxi is her younger brother, and he is mixed with Li Jie all day long, the implication is that if Zhu Yuning "accidentally" saw Li Jie when he went to find his younger brother, it would be very normal, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Lao Zhu, because he didn't agree at all.
At the same time, Li Jie returned home with wine in one hand and food box in the other, and on the way back, he went to the restaurant on his way back, bought some good wine and good food, and came back with a good celebration today.
"Mother, I don't have to cook, I bought a lot of wine and food, is my father back?" As soon as Li Jie entered the house, he immediately shouted into the room.
Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao, who were busy in the kitchen, walked out when they heard the sound, and when they saw Li Jie carrying wine and food, and her face was full of bright smiles, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Jie'er, what are you so happy about?" ”
"Great thing, hasn't my dad come back yet?" Li Jie pretended to smile mysteriously again, he felt extremely relaxed now, and the big stone in his heart that had been pressed for a long time had finally disappeared.
"It's getting dark, why did you come back so early today?" Mrs. Li saw that her son did not answer, and she became even more curious.
"I'll talk about it when my dad comes back, and then we'll have a good drink!" Li Jie said excitedly again, and walked into the living room as he spoke.
Now Mrs. Li is even more strange, because Li Jie doesn't like to drink much since he got well, even if Liu Yi's father and son come, he is at most just chatting with him to eat and eat, and he usually barely drinks at all, how did he change his temper today?
At this time, Di'er also ran over from the backyard, smelled the fragrance in the food box and excitedly circled around Li Jie, and waited until Li Jie opened the food box and placed the wine and food, the little girl was even more greedy for direct saliva, usually Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao cook at home, but the cooking skills of the two are very average, even if there is no shortage of money now, the food at home still cannot be compared with before.
"Here, eat carefully, don't drip oil on your clothes, otherwise my mother will scold people again!" Li Jie smiled and picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it to Di'er.
"Thank you, brother!" Di'er took the chicken leg and showed a sweet smile, and then grabbed the chicken leg with both hands and nibbled on it, the soup on the chicken leg still dripped onto the clothes on her chest, but she didn't realize it.
After waiting for a while, Li Zhu finally came back from the Ordnance Bureau, Li Jie pulled Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao to the table, and then poured wine for them as well, which also made Mrs. Li ask more curiously: "Jie'er, what happy event did you encounter?" ”
"What a happy event!" Li Jie sold Guanzi again, and after speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, he usually doesn't like to drink, no matter what kind of wine, in his opinion, it is bitter and spicy, and it is terrible to drink, even if it is Moutai, but today he is happy, but he wants to get drunk instead.
Seeing that Li Jie was selling Guan Zi again, Mrs. Li gave him a white look and said, "It's a great happy event, are you going to marry a princess?" ”
"Huh? Mother, you are really a god, you guessed it right with a guess! Li Jie was also taken aback when he heard this, could it be that his wife is also a traverser, otherwise how could she be unpredictable?
"I guess you're a ghost, hurry up and tell me honestly, what the hell is going on!" Mrs. Li didn't believe Li Jie's words at all, but felt that her son was ridiculing herself.
"I'm really going to marry a princess!" Li Jie replied very honestly.
"Dare to ridicule the old lady!" Mrs. Li was angry when she heard this, and reached out and twisted Li Jie's ear.
"It hurts, it hurts~, mother, you have mercy!" Li Jie immediately begged for mercy again and again, and at the same time felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, why did he have to be beaten to tell the truth, and this still didn't let people live?
"Madame's anger, Jie'er is already not small, what kind of system do you screw his ears like this again?" Li Zhu next to him felt sorry for his son, and finally persuaded him at this time.
"How old is he? No matter how old is my son? Mrs. Li gave her husband a little face, and let go of her hand at the moment, but she still said hard-mouthed.
"Yes, yes, what Madame said is right, what is a good thing for you to say, let's all hear it!" Li Zhu's temper towards his wife is simply too clear, as long as everything goes along with her, Li Jie is far inferior to him.
"Don't say it, you won't believe it anyway!" Li Jie's temper also came up at this time, to be honest, no one believed it, so it was better to just shut up, anyway, the official decree will come down tomorrow.
"Hey~, your kid's wings are hard, and you dare to talk back to your mother!" When Mrs. Li heard this, she became angry again, rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a move, but the frightened Li Jie begged for mercy again, and the family was very noisy.
But in the end, Li Jie still didn't say anything about his marriage, because halfway through the meal, Li Jie got drunk, and he was still drunk, and he couldn't get up directly on the table, and finally Li Zhu carried him on his back and threw him on the bed, and Mrs. Li personally brought hot water, and complained that he drank too much while helping him wipe his face.
Li Jie didn't know anything about the situation after getting drunk, he only knew that he slept extremely easily, this was also the first time he slept so deeply since he crossed, even the last time he helped Zhu Biao settle the accounts, he slept for a day and a night after coming back, and it was not as sweet as today's sleep.
"Brother! Brother! Get up! The next morning, Li Jie was woken up by Di'er shaking his arm.
"Di'er, why did you wake up so early?" Li Jie said in a daze, and after speaking, he turned over and wanted to sleep again.
"It's not early, it's already three poles in the morning, the eldest sister said let me wake you up, don't you still have to go to the palace to be on duty?" Di'er struggled to turn Li Jie over and let him face him.
"I don't have to go to the palace today, let me sleep a little longer!" Li Jie said and wanted to turn over again, Zhu Yunxi was called to train the officials of the household department, he didn't want to be just in front of Zhu Yunxi, and he had just been married, and the shackles on his body were opened all of a sudden, of course he had to take a good rest.
Unexpectedly, Di'er heard that Li Jie didn't have to go to the palace, but she was overjoyed, and stretched out her hand to drag Li Jie over again and said: "Brother, since you don't go to the palace, then you can take me to the street, I haven't been shopping for a long time!" ”
Li Jie couldn't sleep at all, so he had no choice but to open his eyes, stretch out his hand and say with a little flute on his forehead: "Didn't you go shopping just to buy snacks and snacks, eat so many snacks and be careful to eat your teeth badly!" ”
"It's okay, brother, you see that I have new teeth, my mother said that the new teeth are stronger, and I am definitely not afraid of using them!" Di'er said and grinned, and asked Li Jie to see her newly erupted teeth, this girl began to change her baby teeth, the upper two front teeth have fallen out, and the newly erupted teeth have just emerged with a small point, looking like an old lady with open teeth.
"It's ugly, and the new teeth will last a lifetime, so you have to cherish it more, if the new teeth are also broken, how will you eat in the future?" Li Jie opened his mouth and said that this girl's problem of liking sweets should indeed be changed.
"I brush my teeth every morning and evening!" Di'er puffed up her small chest and said proudly.
"Don't be complacent, keep it up!" Li Jie also sat up at this time, since he couldn't sleep, he just got up and washed up, he drank wine yesterday, and now he feels that his mouth can stink a cow to death.
Knowing that Li Jie didn't have to go to the palace today, Mrs. Li was also very happy, and immediately brought Li Jie a prepared breakfast, usually Li Jie left too early, and had no time to eat breakfast at home, so she could only buy something to eat on the road.
However, during the meal, Mrs. Li asked Li Jie about the happy event she wanted to say, but Li Jie pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't answer the phone, which made Mrs. Li angry and almost had to do it again.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of carriages and horses outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door, and Mrs. Li went to open the door herself, but was shocked to find that there were several eunuchs and two rows of palace guards standing outside the door.
"May I ask if this is Li Ban's house?" The chief eunuch also asked with a flattering smile when he saw Mrs. Li.
"Yes, what are you ......" Mrs. Li was also a little dazed when she looked at the situation in front of her, and at this time, Li Jie in the living room also walked out, saw the eunuch outside the door smiled slightly, and then walked up quickly.
The big eunuch's eyes lit up when he saw Li Jie, and he immediately took a holy decree from the little eunuch behind him, cleared his throat and said aloud: "Accompany Li Jie to receive the decree......"
