When Yun Xi ran to the Jinshen Palace, Lao Zhu Gang asked Li Jinzhong to go to the imperial dining room to set up a meal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he saw Yun Xi come in, there were beads of sweat on his face, he looked at the leak, and said to Yun Xi: "Even if the time is a little late, there is no need to worry." Those who are in a hurry do not do good things. ”

Yun Xi couldn't explain that he was thinking about 'the future and fate of Chinese science' so he delayed it, so he had to respond.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu just said it, and then took Yunxi to dinner.

As usual, the two of them drank a bowl of soup first, and then when they were waiting for the food to be served, Lao Zhu asked: "When you go to the Founding Mansion today, the Chang family is very courteous to entertain you?" ”

Yun Xi had already prepared the answer to this question, so he just paused deliberately, and then replied: "If you go back to Grandpa, the founding prince is indeed very courteous to me. ”

Lao Zhu asked again: "Do you remember your mother?" ”

Yun Xi said with a little sadness: "It's because I think of my mother, especially Mrs. Kaiping Wang's appearance is quite similar to my mother in my memory, I can't help but almost cry." ”

When Lao Zhu was seventeen years old, his parents died, and now Yun Xi is also the death of both parents, similar experiences make Lao Zhu think that he understands Yun Xi's emotions very well, so he patted Yun Xi on the shoulder and said: "When your great-grandfather died that year, I was only seventeen years old, and I also felt very sad. This is exactly what I was like at that time (Note 1). Such a thing can only come out by itself. ”

Yun Xi because it turned out that Yun Xi's memories were only a part, so although he was sad, he was not as old as Lao Zhu was back then. But can you tell the truth now? I could only be silent.

Then the meal came up, and they busily began to eat to relieve the awkward atmosphere that was now there. After a few mouthfuls of food, the grandparents and grandchildren talked about the quality of the food again, and the embarrassing atmosphere was gone, and Lao Zhu asked again: "How did you watch this afternoon?" How many disagree with grandpa's approval? I don't understand why grandpa has approved it so much? ”

For Yun Hee, this is exactly what you don't want to come. But in the face of the shrewd Lao Zhu, he could only tell the truth: "Grandpa, my grandson didn't watch a few twists and turns this afternoon, and only watched six folds in total." I don't have any problems with the six parts I watched." Then pretend to be embarrassed.

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Lao Zhu was more surprised: Yun Xi has worked very hard every day these days, why is it an exception today?

Then he immediately linked this with Yun Xi's visit to the Founding Mansion in the morning. So Lao Zhu's train of thought was completely off, he thought that Yun Xi was in no mood to watch the twists and turns because he was hurt and missed his parents too much, so he didn't blame Yun Xi, which made Yun Xi relieved because he didn't have to make up the reason.

However, because Yun Xi didn't watch the recital, Lao Zhu couldn't explain, so he asked Yun Xi to go back after eating.

But after Yun Xi went back, Lao Zhu thought about the relationship between Yun Xi and the Chang family. He originally thought that Yun Xi would not be too biased towards the Chang family in the future based on Yun Xi's performance when he was working in the military department and the household department, but today Yun Xi had such a big emotional fluctuation that he was not in the mood to watch the recital in the afternoon (the misunderstanding was so deep), which made him puzzled again.

Lao Zhu thought for a while and decided to continue to observe. If Yun Xi is too close to the Chang family, he doesn't mind getting rid of them.

============================================================

With the evening, the Yuquanlou restaurant in the north of the city.

Li Jinglong is here again today to entertain Quanning Hou Sun Ke and Shenwuwei Commander Yang Yi, two of his own die-hards, to drink.

Of course, Li Jinglong, as the main family, arrived at the place first, and let the boss of Yuquan Building prepare first. But not long after he arrived, Sun Ke arrived first. Sun Ke walked into the private room booked by Li Jinglong, and he could see at a glance that Li Jinglong was quite happy.

Because Sun Ke is also a marquis, he is still a knighthood he played, and he is good friends with Li Jinglong, so he is not very deferential to Li Jinglong, so he asked directly: "Brother Li, what's the matter today, what's the happy event?" ”

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "It is indeed a happy event. But don't worry, wait a while, I'll talk about it when Yang Yi arrives. ”

Sun Ke became more and more curious, and asked again and again, but Li Jinglong just said, "I'm talking about it when Yang Yi comes." Sun Ke can't hold on to it, he can only wait for Yang Yi to come. Fortunately, they are all from Jiangmen, and they also have a lot of common topics, and the scene is not dull.

After a while, Yang Yi came. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Ke asked impatiently: "Now that Brother Yang has also arrived, Brother Li, you should say it." ”

Li Jinglong raised the wine glass first, and the two of them also picked up the wine glass when they saw this, and drank a glass with Li Jinglong, and then Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty agrees that my sister will marry Chang Jizong." ”

Although Sun Ke felt that it was not worth being so happy about this matter, he was still busy congratulating; However, Yang Yi was much more direct, he said: "Brother Li, although it is a wish fulfillment and a happy event, it is not worth being so happy." ”

Li Jinglong didn't think about it either, and said: "The key is not that Your Majesty agreed to the marriage between my sister and Chang Jizong, the key is that Your Majesty agreed after consideration." The Chang family is a relative, and it is a family of Jiangmen, the Kaiping King Portrait Hero Temple, and the Taimiao are all ranked second, and they are still above the ancestors, and when His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun ascends the throne, if I am coupled with my Li family's inclination to them, it is likely to be difficult to govern, but why does Your Majesty still allow me to marry my sister to the Chang family? ”

Sun Ke realized, but Yang Yi still didn't understand, and said: "Brother Li, don't talk about it, it's good to explain it at once." ”

Li Jinglong continued: "It is enough to see that Your Majesty thinks that Chang Sheng and Chang Sen are useless, although they are relatives and have the maintenance of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, they still can't suppress the Xu family, so they use the power of my Li family to maintain balance." Your Majesty will definitely explain all this to the imperial grandson, so we will still not be squeezed to the side in the next dynasty, so I am happy. ”

Sun Ke and Yang Yi understood Li Jinglong's words and felt that it was indeed reasonable, so they understood Li Jinglong's reason.

The reason for this is that he understands it, but Yang Yi doesn't understand why Li Jinglong said all this in such detail to them; But Sun Ke knew in his heart: 'Li Jinglong is telling them that he still has a future, to prevent his old subordinates from switching to the Chang family; If the expectation is good, Li Jinglong will definitely not just say this to the two of them, he should make an appointment with others in the next few days. ‘

However, although he knew Li Jinglong's intentions, Sun Ke still dispelled the idea that had sprung up in the past few days. After the death of his father, Sun Ke also experienced a long time in battle, and had a lot of contacts with Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Chang Mao and others, and he would not be rejected if he was cheeky and thrown over. But now that Li Jinglong has a future here, why do you have to go to someone else!

Then the three of them put away their thoughts, drank a lively drink, and dispersed until midnight.
