Chapter 204: Spread
I don't know why, the next day, the news that Miss Li Fu was rescued by the king of Qinghe County when she met a scoundrel on the street spread in the capital.
Everyone is talking about who this young lady of the Li Mansion is, who can be rescued by the king of Qinghe County.
You must know that the king of Qinghe County is the only son of the current crown prince, although he was not born to the crown princess, but his status is self-evident.
"Which lady of the Li Mansion is it?" A passer-by asked curiously.
The others shook their heads, but a man walked by not far away to help them.
"It's the third lady of the Li Mansion and the niece of Li Shilang." He said, and then pointed to the corner to the side, "That person is a scoundrel who wants to extort money, he was warned by the people of the king of Qinghe, and he told the truth." ”
Everyone hurriedly looked at the corner, only to see an unkempt man covering his face in embarrassment, and said as he ran: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!" ”
"It's him." Someone recognized the man, "It seems to be a small guy from the Ji family, who was kicked out of the house for stealing things......"
"I used to like to steal chickens and dogs, no wonder I still want to blackmail other people's money......"
"Fortunately, the king of Qinghe County knows his face clearly, otherwise Miss Li will be framed and ruin her reputation......"
"yes, yes......"
The people of the capital were talking about it, and Li Fuli was also discussing this matter.
As soon as Mrs. Li heard the news, she got angry, and scolded at a pillar: "What a scoundrel, don't do good things and do bad things, it's not good to do something right, but you want to come to find someone to be unlucky!" ”
"If I see him, I'll have to have him arrested and beaten up!"
Old lady Li scolded the pillar for a long time, and finally became thirsty, Li Mingye helped him sit down and drink water.
"Alright, grandfather, don't be angry." He persuaded, "Isn't it okay for the third sister, there is no need to lose her temper." ”
"You're light!" Old Madam Li glared at him, and her tone was rushing, "Your third sister was framed, why weren't you by his side, but let the king of Qinghe save people!" ”
"It's time now, a good girl in my family wants to have a relationship with a man who can't even win a fight!"
After he finished speaking, he poured a big sip of tea.
Mrs. Li had a bad impression of the king of Qinghe County, because after he came to the capital, he learned that the king of Qinghe County could not beat the prince of Dingguo, and he repeatedly provoked, and he was most disgusted with such incapable people who liked to be strong!
Li Mingye twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
"Grandfather, grandson...... Isn't my grandson in Hanlin Academy? He explained, "Besides, that kind of thing is not something that grandchildren can foresee, if grandchildren know, how can they let the king of Qinghe County relieve the siege for the third sister......
It's not a good thing for a woman to be involved with a man, at least, the people of the Li Mansion don't want such a thing to happen.
It's a good thing that they're neutral and unwavering about the prince's overtures, at least they won't get involved in the party struggle. But now that something like this has happened, the king of Qinghe County has relieved Miss Li Fu's siege, if they don't make a statement, it really can't be justified.
And as long as they express their attitude, even if it is just a little thanks, others will associate the Li Mansion with the East Palace.
Old lady Li was so angry that she beat her chest, wanting to catch the stinking scold.
"It's really unlucky, this kind of thing happened!" He said.
Li Mingye smoothed his luck for him, lest his grandfather accidentally stun himself.
Not far away, Li Mingyun came slowly, she walked straight, very upright, with a faint smile on her face.
And the spring rain and autumn sunshine that followed behind him looked solemn.
"Grandfather, don't talk about it." Li Mingye said, lowered his voice and reminded, "The third sister has already come." ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately coughed and pretended to be joking with Li Mingye.
"Mingye, why didn't you go to Hanlin Academy today?"
"......" Li Mingye tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He thought to himself, didn't his grandfather keep him at home? said that he was so angry that he was dizzy, and let him talk with him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Li dryly found another topic.
"Ming Ye, how is your seventh brother?" He said, "Listen to your father, he's been working hard lately. ”
Li Mingye: "......"
What's been working hard lately? He had only received a letter from Gwangju a month earlier, and it was his mother who told him that Myeong-wei wanted to learn martial arts, but they didn't agree......
In this way, where is the hard work......
He opened his mouth and hesitated.
"Grandfather, second brother."
It just so happened that Li Mingyun came to them and rescued Li Mingye, who didn't know how to answer.
"Yun'er, why are you here?" Old lady Li drank tea and said, pretending to be very leisurely.
"Yes, third sister, didn't you watch her try on wedding clothes at the second sister's place?" Li Mingye also asked.
In half a month, Li Mingqin will get married. The wedding dress has actually been tried a long time ago, but I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up, so I asked the embroiderer to embroider it, and now the one I tried was embroidered by Li Mingqin herself.
Li Mingyun smiled.
"I was afraid that my business would bother my grandfather, so I came to see him." She said, looking at Mrs. Li.
"Ahem...... Old Lady Li waved his hand to show that he didn't care at all, "What is this?" Isn't it just being rescued? If the king of Qinghe is not there, you can also find a way to solve it yourself. ”
He said it easily, as if he trusted Li Mingyun to handle this matter.
Li Mingyun smiled.
She actually thought about how she would solve it if she hadn't met the king of Qinghe County yesterday. Did you send some money? Or do you want to find a way to get that person exposed?
She doesn't know that now.
However, one thing is certain, she will not let Li Fu bear such a stigma in vain.
"Grandfather, it doesn't matter now." Li Mingyun said, "The important thing is how to thank the king of Qinghe and how to deal with the relationship with the prince." ”
If they don't take this matter seriously, then others will definitely think that the Li Mansion is not polite and does not understand the Entu report, but if they take it seriously, in the final analysis, it is the matter of the Li Mansion and the prince, and it has nothing to do with thanking or not.
Old Lady Li listened to her words, and her face was a little solemn.
"I've already thought about this, let your uncle come forward." He said solemnly, "No matter how the king of Qinghe County helped the girl in our house, we can't pretend that nothing happened, we should be thanked." ”
Li Mingyun pursed his lips.
Originally, it was a small matter, but because it spread, it made a big fuss. Everyone will not care what the situation is, they will only care about whether the bad guys have been punished and whether the good guys have been rewarded.
The king of Qinghe County relieved the siege for her, and others would only think that he was kind to the Li Mansion, and what the Li Mansion should do. As for the rest, people don't think about it that much at all.
Li Mingyun lowered his eyes.
This time, it was her negligence that found a problem for the Li Mansion and put herself in a predicament.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the king of Qinghe, but things didn't go as she wanted.
Now that this is the case, it is too late to regret it, so the soldiers can only come to cover the water, and one step at a time.
"It's time to thank you." Li Mingyun said, looking at the clouds drifting in the distance, "Grandfather, our Li Mansion must not do anything bad, lest we have a bad reputation in front of Your Majesty." ”
"That's nature." Old Madam Li said, "It's just that now that we have a relationship with the crown prince, it will not be so easy to talk in front of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Peace in the future." ”
Your Majesty will not discuss it for the time being, just His Royal Highness King Ping and the crown prince are evenly matched, it is enough to make the Li Mansion suffer from the enemy.
"Not really." Li Mingyun said, "Grandfather, although the king of Qinghe County saved me, our Li Mansion apologized and gave gifts, and we did everything we should do, so there is nothing wrong." ”
"Others must think that our Li Mansion will catch the crown prince, but we, as always, will not let go or stand in line because of the matter of the king of Qinghe."
"In this way, it can go the opposite way, so that everyone can see clearly what kind of attitude the Li Mansion has."
After a long silence, Mrs. Li slapped the table and shouted hello.
"Just according to Yun'er!" He said, "Let's Li Mansion take a gamble, if it happens, it is naturally good, if it doesn't work, we will see the hearts of the people for a long time, our Li Mansion is sitting upright, not afraid of being talked about!" ”
Li Mingyun and Li Mingye glanced at each other and smiled.
