There is never a shortage of after-dinner conversations in the capital, and the topic of recent attention is the court competition between Si Zhenfang and Jingbao Pavilion.

First of all, there was a rumor about the life experience of Li Jingshan, the participating craftsman of the Jingbao Pavilion, and everyone scolded her for her treachery and forgetting her ancestors. Then suddenly the plot reversed, and I heard that Li Jingshan was the victim, and she was persecuted by her family so much that she had nowhere to stay, so she had no choice but to join the Jingbao Pavilion and work hard all the way to today.

It is said that those who spread rumors are still from Si Zhenfang, and they will do everything to win the competition. Now that the truth is revealed, Si Zhenfang was also reprimanded by the imperial court, demanding that those who do evil be severely punished. forced a large number of employees to be dismissed in Si Zhen Fang, and this matter also caused a stir in Si Zhen Fang, and people were panicked.

People's attention to Li Jingshan is unprecedentedly high, and some people even go to Jingbao Pavilion not to see jewelry, but to see her beauty. It's just that Li Jingshan usually works in the backyard, so it's not easy to see.

The people who have seen her have added fuel to the fire and described Li Jingshan as a character like a heavenly immortal. So much so that when the workers in the store saw her, they all laughed and teased her as a "fairy sister".

There are also gambling houses to bet on the opening of the bet, to bet on whether the third court competition will be won by Si Zhenfang or by Jingbao Pavilion. The disc is obviously much larger than the Treasure Hunt.

Two days later, there were two more shocking news in the capital: First, the "fairy sister" Li Jingshan was captured by bandits and went up the mountain, and was caught alone by the bandit leader into the house and ravaged! Although he was finally rescued by General Zhenyuan, he was covered with injuries when he was rescued.

The second is that Li Jingshan once went to Xiling with the army to relieve the victims in the epidemic area, made great contributions, and won the commendation of the imperial court and the imperial plaque!

This revelation made the people's enthusiasm for discussion unprecedentedly high and burned to the peak.

"Miss Li actually broke through the epidemic area, she is really a living bodhisattva with great compassion!"

"What's the use of a living bodhisattva, if her body is not clean, who would dare to marry her. She's in her twenties, isn't it because she's dirty, and no one wants it? ”

"Scared, people are talented and wealthy, there is no shortage of talent, no one wants it, I want it! Hahaha. ”

"Cut! Lame fourth, as long as you are a woman, you want it all. People laughed, "But someone with a complex background like Li Jingshan, who has a little foundation, where would they dare to marry her." ”

"Alas, that's what I said......"

Li Jingshan walked through the long street with a curtain fence, and walked through a pile of gossip without changing her face, without the slightest consciousness of being a public figure, as if listening to the story of an irrelevant person.

She knew in her heart that there must be someone behind these messages, and maybe there was more than one side of the force. It's just that among these forces, those are benign to help her, and which ones are malicious to smear her, and she is too lazy to distinguish. Ruan Mingyu also said that she didn't have to work hard, and he would deal with it. So she was relieved to put herself out of the way.

She got off work early today, and she also went to Lianxianglou to buy some wine and food, and brought it back to have dinner with Meng Shu. When I returned home, I saw a greeting card on the table, and I was curious to pick it up and see that it was an invitation sent by Li Zhiqing to invite her to the Hanxiang Pavilion for a banquet. What is strange is that the payment is not the shopkeeper of Si Zhenfang, but the title of "Uncle Shi". Looking at the posture, he actually wants to talk about the clan love with Li Jingshan and play the warmth card.

It's just that...... This post appeared out of place.

Li Jingshan looked up in confusion, "It's only three days before the final court competition, and now at this moment, even if there is no clear rule in the palace that the two of us can't give each other privately, we should always avoid suspicion, right?" Why did this invitation from the Treasure Shop come to my house? ”

Meng Shu came in with a bowl and chopsticks, and said with a faint smile: "So people didn't invite you in the name of Si Zhenfang, this is just the elders looking for the younger generations to talk about the old and relatives." Even if the court knew, there was nothing to say. ”

Li Jingshan sneered: "I have nothing to talk about with them. ”

"Then don't pay attention to it," Meng Shu was indifferent to everything and didn't care about it. She set up the dishes and chopsticks, filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Li Jingshan, "Eat with peace of mind." ”

Li Jingshan took two sips of soup, looked at the post again, and suddenly said, "I changed my mind." I'd like to hear what he has to do with me. ”

----

Hanxiang Pavilion is not a particularly famous high-end restaurant in the capital, but it is one of the few restaurants in the capital that makes authentic Cantonese cuisine. It is said that the two chefs there were both invited from the south at a high price, and the crispy roast goose and honey and barbecued pork sauce are worthy of the words "perfect fire".

Minzhou is located in the south, and it is also Cantonese cuisine. It can be seen that Li Zhiqing set the venue for the banquet here, which can be regarded as painstaking.

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Jingshan pulled Meng Shu with her. When he came to the private room of Hanxiang Pavilion, Li Zhiqing was already waiting. Seeing them come in, Li Zhiqing smiled and got up to greet him, "Niece Xian, sit down." Don't be restrained, back then I was drinking with your father in Beijing, and you should call me a fourth uncle in terms of seniority. "Scholarly

Li Jingshan and Meng Shu sat down far away and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be polite. The two families of Jingbao Pavilion such as Si Zhenfang are now facing a big competition, and it is inconvenient to be very close. If you have something to say, please say it directly, if it's for the sake of catching up, please wait until the end of the competition to arrange. ”

Li Zhiqing is a descendant of the Li family, and his seniority is not low, and his face is slightly stiff at this time. However, he still maintained a smile, "It's okay, we won't talk about the competition today, just talk about family life." ”

He looked at Meng Shu beside her, "Today, this is a family banquet for our Li family to catch up, I haven't seen Jingshan's niece for a long time, and I have a lot to say, is this girl ......?"

Li Jingshan pressed Meng Shu's hand and smiled quietly: "Although Shopkeeper Li is not visible, but in this special period, you and I are also sensitive and sensitive, and it is not a good time to catch up with the past." It would be nice to have someone to bear witness...... Didn't Shopkeeper Lai bring a witness? ”

Li Zhiqing gritted his teeth and smiled reluctantly: "My niece has a refreshing temperament. We are originally close and related to the same race, but because of those false remarks outside, we were divided. In fact, the fourth uncle has long wanted to find an opportunity to get close to you. However, he was entangled in trivial matters and couldn't do anything. ”

Li Jingshan still replied nonchalantly, "Thank you for your affection, shopkeeper Li, please tell me if you have something." ”

Li Zhiqing touched two nails in a row, and he couldn't pretend anymore, so he got straight to the point: "How can my niece also be a member of the Li family, there is no reason to help outsiders and be an enemy of her own family." Even if you encountered any injustices in Minzhou before, or maybe there was any misunderstanding, the Li family is always your maiden family. Only your own family will really care about you and care about you. ”

He looked at Li Jingshan and said sincerely, "Shan'er, you better come back." The Li family and Si Zhenfang will not treat you badly. ”

Li Jingshan smiled faintly, "Dare to ask Shopkeeper Li, why didn't you say these words when our family was in trouble?" If I hadn't stood at the height of the court and confronted you now, would you have welcomed me back? ”

Li Zhiqing coughed embarrassedly, and said lightly: "Don't mention the past." The fourth uncle just wants to tell you that the door of the Li family is always open for you. Since your surname is Li, there will always be a day when you need to return to your roots. At this time, why bother with your own family everywhere? ”

Li Jingshan looked at him and said indifferently: "Although my surname is Li, since I was forced to sell myself to the Ruan family, what else has anything to do with your Li family?" ”

Li Zhiqing was slightly embarrassed, but he still held on to his momentum, and said with a sinking face: "You are bold now, and it is just because of the Jingbao Pavilion to support you." But have you ever thought that you, a woman, will always marry someone in the future? ”

Li Jingshan raised her eyebrows, waiting for him to continue.

Li Zhiqing thought that she was moved, and said more and more heartily: "What if you are talented and rich? You're twenty-two this year, and you're long past the age of marriage, and now rumors about you are spreading in the capital, especially when you were kidnapped by mountain bandits. It is even more so that the rules in Beijing are afraid to be avoided. Not to mention the Ruan family of Jingbao Pavilion that you have always wanted to climb, their family is the most innocent. ”

Li Zhiqing said devotedly, with a smug expression: "Moreover, you know that the Ruan family and the Li family have a long-standing feud, how can their family let you in?" It's just using you as a cash cow. ”

Li Jingshan said with a smile: "The Li family is now letting me return, don't they also treat me as a cash cow?" ”

"That's different!" Li Zhiqing said: "You are always the daughter of the Li family, if you have the support of the family, the clan will always try to find you a family affair, so that you will not be lonely." ”

Meng Shu, who had been sitting quietly on the side, suddenly frowned and interjected, "What if Ah Shan is unwilling to marry?" ”

"Then Shan'er should come back to the Li family." Although Li Zhiqing was dissatisfied with the interference of outsiders, he still followed the temptation, "If you never marry and don't have an in-law, won't you want to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Li family in the next hundred years?" It's still a family after all. ”

Li Jingshan was sneering, she has been a rootless person since she crossed over, will she still worry about things like whether she can enter the ancestral grave?

She put the teacup on the table and said indifferently, "Thank you Shopkeeper Li for thinking deeply for me and not bothering about it." Even if I, Li Jingshan, am lonely and old, I would rather be a lonely ghost than enter the ancestral grave of the Li family after death! ”

Li Zhiqing's eyes widened, completely stunned, and it took a long time to point at her and stammer: "You! You...... Do you know what you're talking about? ”

Of course, Li Jingshan knew that when she first crossed into Miss Li's body, she was encountering their whole family desperately wanting to let her father Li Zhiyuan's spiritual seat enter the Li ancestral hall. It is for the idea of returning to the roots, for the reliance of the clan lineage. A strong sense of clan is a deep-rooted ideology in this era. Her words just now sounded a big rebellion to others.

It's a pity that such a concept can't bind Li Jingshan, the modern soul. She smiled calmly: "A hundred years from now, everyone will just return to dust, and my name will be passed down to the world with my works, not in a corner of the Li family ancestral hall." ”

Li Zhiqing's lips trembled with anger, "You! I don't know how thick the sky is. Okay, very good, how long can I see you being arrogant? ”

He was about to throw off his sleeves and leave, but he heard an old voice from the door, "Miss Li is covered by our Jingbao Pavilion, she can be arrogant as long as she wants." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did Li Zhiqing's face change greatly, and he paused, but even Li Jingshan was quite surprised and looked at the door in surprise.
