A small sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of the Li Mansion, and two guards with long knives walked out from behind the sedan chair, and they stepped forward to offer their hands and said to the doorman of the Li family: "We are under the command of the commander of the palace guard, and we have been ordered to come to pick up the eldest lady back to Beijing!" ”。

The other party's words completely shocked the guards, although they didn't know what the official position of this commander was, but the power of the people from the capital was not much smaller.

A doorman didn't bother to ask too much, so he hurried into the house with a soldier to report back to the master.

The other doorman seemed to remember his duty when his companion left, and he asked in a hesitant manner: "Dare to ask this military master, who is your young lady, but in our house?" ”。

"My young lady is Gu Yu, that is, the Linglong in your mouth, the annoying little brother said Master Li, we want to see him!"

Although the two guards are from the capital, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, Li Ling is kind to the Queen Mother, and he is a newly promoted Huiyuan, so they naturally have to be more respectful.

It turned out that he was looking for Linglong, his father was a big official in the capital! The doorman's heart trembled, fortunately he hadn't offended Linglong on weekdays, otherwise there would be no way to end it now!

"Since the two adults are from Jingshi, you know." The doorman was just about to ask about Li Ling, but suddenly heard a light footstep.

"Which eldest brother is from the capital, and how is my eldest young master's scientific examination? He is the Xie Yuan of Nanzhili! ”。

The person who came was Linglong, the maid of the Li Mansion told her that Commander Gu sent someone to pick her up, and Linglong came to the gate without going to the main room, she wanted to know the situation of the eldest young master too much.

After asking, her heart pounded, she wanted to know Li Ling's situation but was afraid of getting the news that would disappoint her.

The little girl's mood is very worried!

"Back to the eldest lady, Li Ling has already been in high school and is waiting for the palace exam next month in the capital!" The guards casually told the news that everyone was looking forward to, in his opinion, with the Queen Mother and her old man protecting Li Ling, it was a matter of course for him to be in Huiyuan.

"Great, the eldest young master will be Yuan!". Linglong and the doorman became excited.

At the same time, Father Li also knew this great news, he walked around the hall a few times excitedly and then said to the guard: "This lord, it's getting late today, let's take Linglong into Beijing tomorrow, I will entertain you well today!" ”。

Father Li seemed very happy, and he hurriedly ordered the master of the kitchen to entertain him with good wine and food.

The news of Li Jieyuan's high school meeting spread from the Li Mansion, and within a few days, all the people in Ying Tianfu knew the good news.

At the table, Father Li greeted him, and the two guards were also unusually polite, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

The subordinates of the Li Mansion also knew that the eldest young master had passed the imperial examination and won the glory of Huiyuan!

In the Osmanthus Pavilion, Zhou's face was blue, she was very unhappy in her heart, everywhere she went, there seemed to be someone pointing behind his back, for no other reason, her son Li Mingxian failed the attempt!

Although they had been mentally prepared, the mother and son were still a little disappointed when they got the news.

How great it would be if Li Ming could go all the way to high school like his brother! Zhou shook his head and sighed.

Hearing the news of Li Ling's high school meeting, the Zhou family was even more ashamed, they were all born by a father, why is the gap so big!

Xia Jingui also knew the news of Li Lingzhong's Huiyuan, the corners of her mouth rose, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, she thought that marrying into the Li family would be carefree in the future, how did she know that Li Ming was different from his brother, this guy was a waste at all, and he couldn't even pass the test as a child!

Now all the financial power of the Li family is in the hands of Li Ling, and the shopkeepers in the salt field and the salt shop are all the henchmen of the eldest young master.

What future does Li Ming have?

"Daddy, your old man has exhausted all his resources, but he is not seeking a good home for his daughter!"

Miss Xia was very unhappy in her heart, she completely lost her previous respect for Zhou's mother and son, and quarreled with her future mother-in-law at every turn, and made a good hanging flower pavilion a miasma.

Father Li was no longer willing to step into the Hanging Flower Pavilion for half a step.

The guards only stayed at Li's house for one day, and left with Linglong early the next morning.

The guards stayed overnight all the way, and finally arrived in the capital after more than ten days.

The guards went back to restore their lives, while the palanquin bearers carried the people directly to the Gu family's mansion.

When Li Ling and Lei Zhutou returned to the capital, it was already the end of March.

After saying goodbye to Li Ling, he felt a trace of an unusual atmosphere as soon as he arrived at the inn, and everyone in the inn was staring at him, as if something important was about to happen.

"Oops! Li Huiyuan, I've finally waited for you! A duck-like shout came.

It turned out that the father-in-law of An had arrived!

Father-in-law An now has the support of the Queen Mother, and is in charge of the imperial dining room, so he is naturally favored by the royal family. How did this old guy have time to come to the inn?

"A good thing, a great thing!". Gonggong An said to Li Ling with his eyebrows fluttering: "Li Huiyuan, don't be stunned, hurry up and find a clean and neat place to receive the order!" ”。

"Order? What is the purpose? ”。 Li Ling was a little confused, he hadn't passed the palace test yet, how could the emperor give him an order alone?

"Of course, it's the Queen Mother's decree!". Grandpa An reminded again.

Li Ling suddenly understood that he had more or less contributed to the expedition against the Japanese Invaders, and the Queen Mother was going to commend herself.

There are rewards, there are heavy rewards!

Li Ling was a little excited, judging from the performance of Gonggong An, the reward this time will definitely not be less!

Li Huiyuan wanted to borrow his own living room to receive the queen mother's decree, the shopkeeper of the inn was crazy after hearing the news, he never thought that he would be able to have a relationship with the royal family one day, he smirked and asked people to prepare the incense case!

The guys at the inn helped the shopkeeper clean the hall and set up the incense case before leaving.

Li Ling knelt alone in the hall, listening to the holy teachings of the Queen Mother, ready to accept the pie falling from the sky!

"Fengtian carries the Empress Dowager's edict and says: The daughter of Gu Cheng, the deputy commander of the palace guard, is cautious, diligent and supple, pure and pure, gentle and gentle, virtuous and virtuous."

Li Ling's head snorted, he couldn't listen to it anymore, it turned out that the Queen Mother didn't want to reward herself, but to give herself a marriage!

Although he doesn't hate Linglong, a little girl, he will never allow the other party to become his wife.

If he accepted this will, where would he put his fiancée?

Gonggong An didn't notice the change in Li Ling's face, but quietly stuffed the Yi Zhi to Li Ling after reading it, and didn't forget to tell Li Ling a few words at the end.

"Li Huiyuan is really auspicious, not only has he been appreciated by the Queen Mother, but Gu Cheng's stubborn donkey is also blue-eyed to you, you hurry up and pack up and move to the big mansion given to you by the Queen Mother, where it is much more comfortable than living in an inn!"

Father-in-law An was talking to himself, and Li Ling, who was not the main one at all, was getting worse and worse.

"Father-in-law An, since ancient times, it has been the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, if I accept the queen mother's kindness, what will my fiancée think of me, and how will the world look at me? I can't accept this edict, so you better take it back! ”。 Li Ling retrieved Yi Zhi from his body and returned him to Gonggong An.

There was once a beautiful girl who was fearless in the face of the Japanese and resolutely blocked a knife for him, and this kindness Li Ling could not forget.

"You, you're so foolish, do you think you can ignore the royal family if you win the Huiyuan? Do you think that if you have a little favor to our Xiaoyao Island, the Queen Mother will not be able to help you, don't forget, everything is caused by you coming to the island to borrow troops, after all, we don't owe you a favor! ”。 An Gonggong's hoarse voice broke out!

He actually refused to give marriage, he actually refused the kindness of the Queen Mother!

Father-in-law An was a little annoyed, who was his fiancée, an ordinary woman in the countryside, could she be compared to General Gu's beloved daughter? Why does Li Ling, a fool, miss her!

He remembered the old man's instructions before leaving, asking him to make sure to promote this family business, but Gu Cheng begged the Queen Mother for a long time to get the other party's promise.

Father-in-law An reluctantly smiled and said: "Li Huiyuan, I advise you to think clearly, the Queen Mother has a good temper, but not anyone can be disobedient!" ”。

In his opinion, as long as this kid can still understand current affairs, he will definitely agree to this family business.

"I'm sorry, please tell the Queen Mother what I said, the kid already has a marriage contract and doesn't want to marry someone else!" Li Ling still adhered to his principles and refused to give in.

"Well, you are a hero, mighty and unyielding, I hope you can remember what you said today and never regret it!". Father-in-law An flicked the sleeves of his clothes and left the inn with Yizhi.

After sending away Father-in-law An, Li Ling was still leisurely Wen Shu, and he didn't even inquire about where the courtyard given to him by the Queen Mother was.

After Gonggong An went back to report to the queen mother, there was once again a big wave in the palace.

There are different views on how to deal with Emperor Li Ling and the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother thought that it was rare for Li Ling to still abide by her heart and follow the teachings of the saints when she was rich and noble, and she hoped that this matter would be stopped.

The emperor thought that Li Ling was openly provoking the majesty of the royal family, and he must be given a certain punishment.

Gu Cheng is now in a high position, and as soon as he heard that Li Ling, this kid, easily shirked the queen mother's edict, his fiery temper flared up again!

This kid doesn't want to give his daughter a name at all!

Gu Cheng threatened to take his subordinates to the inn and beat him up, seeing that this kid was still arrogant!

"Daddy, don't be embarrassed by the eldest young master, I just need to be by his side!" Linglong wept and begged her father.

She already knew that the reason why the Queen Mother wanted to marry the two was because Gu Cheng instigated it in front of the Queen Mother.

"Get out of here! Our Gu family doesn't have a shameless woman like you! ”。 Gu Cheng gave an order, and several sturdy slaves and maids pulled Linglong into the boudoir and locked her up.

The daughter finally stopped nagging around her, and Gu Cheng had just been clean for a while, and the next person came over to report: "Oh no, the eldest lady, she hanged herself!" ”。 (To be continued.) )
