Chapter 3 The Dinner Table

The next day, Li Qi prepared a table of dishes in Chunfeng Building.

Li Lin has been at the border all the year round, and she hasn't eaten anything good since she came back.

Thinking of this, Li Qi, as an elder brother, inevitably felt guilty.

Looking at a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Li Lin felt that the life of Jingshi was extremely luxurious.

Zhao Zhen and Li Qi sat on the side, and the three of them had just chatted a few words at the table, when suddenly there was movement from downstairs.

Li Qi subconsciously looked down from the window, several soldiers had blocked the door of the restaurant, and a sedan chair was carried downstairs leisurely, so familiar.

Li Qixin can't say it's good, it's grandpa!

Zheng Guogong slowly bowed out of the sedan chair.

Li Lin obviously recognized his grandfather, and just wanted to roll down from the window, but directly below the window, there were already a few soldiers standing.

The footsteps going upstairs sounded noisily, Li Qi stood up and went to block the door, Zhao Zhen didn't know what was going to happen, but he could see that the situation was not good.

I saw Li Lin take a risk and jumped out of the window.

She stretched out her arm to wrap around Zhao Zhen's waist from behind, and the whole person hung in the air by the window, Zhao Zhen staggered back two steps, immediately held on to the window and stood up straight, and blocked Li Lin hanging outside the window with her body

In this gap, Zheng Guogong forcibly pushed the door open.

"Where is Li Lin?" With a majestic voice, he scanned the room.

Li Qi pretended to be surprised and looked at his grandfather and said, "She is at the border now, why are you asking this?" ”

Zheng Guogong patrolled around, and there were only two people in the room, Li Qi and Zhao Zhen, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Just now, Ji Anming said unmistakably that Li Lin also entered here.

He ordered all the cupboards in the room to be opened.

Behind the screen, under the table, I checked everything.

"Did you hide her?" Zheng Guogong questioned his grandson.

"She's thousands of miles away, how can I have the ability to hide her?" Li Qi said with a smile.

Zheng Guogong saw Zhao Zhen standing motionless in front of the window.

At this time, Zhao Zhen's mind was full of thoughts, although Li Lin was a woman, but the weight of the whole person fell, he felt that it was difficult, but fortunately, he often exercised so that he would not be ashamed.

He used his wide sleeves to block Li Linhuan's arm around his waist.

Zheng Guogong walked up to him,

Zhao Zhen looked at him with a smile as usual.

Zheng Guogong glanced behind Zhao Zhen twice, but he didn't see anything, there was a window behind him, if Li Lin jumped down, there must be movement below.

Look at Zhao Zhen's face, the other party is the prince, and he really doesn't dare to order him to turn around.

In the end, I had to walk around and stand back in place.

At this time, Zheng Guogong's eldest son and daughter-in-law also rushed over.

"Father, you think too much, Li Lin is now studying military affairs at the border pass!" Li Chengcai persuaded his father.

Zheng Guogong knew that he was deliberately deceived by them, and walked downstairs angrily.

"Is Li Lin back? You tell the truth......" his parents asked Li Qi as they surrounded him.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "No, I received a letter from her two days ago, saying that I won't be able to come back until winter." ”

Li Qi told his father: "Don't learn from grandpa to be suspicious. ”

Li Qi's mother, Wang, immediately burst into tears and her eyes turned red.

"You wrote back to your sister and told her not to worry, everything is fine at home, and your grandfather doesn't like her, so she shouldn't run around and ...... at the border."

The father sighed too.

"Yes, she knows everything at home, don't make a mess."

Zhao Zhen thought that the family reunion would be a warm and harmonious thing, but he didn't expect Li Lin's status in this family to be so embarrassing.

At this moment, he felt that although Li Lin on his back was calm, his back was already wet.

At the moment when Li Chengcai and his wife turned to go downstairs, Li Lin let go of his hand, jumped from the window to the eaves and escaped.

When the soldiers below heard the movement, they were in a commotion.

Zheng Guogong, who had just gotten on the sedan chair, obviously saw it, pointing to the distant back, and was speechless with anger.

Li Qi sighed, looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Now you know."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

As a woman, Li Lin has lived in the bitter cold of the border for more than ten years, and she has fine clothes and food at home.

What a great irony it is to be born in the Zhengguo Mansion and be homeless when you come back.

And all this stems from the nonsense of a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest said that Li Linke Zheng Guogong, and Zheng Guogong really believed it. It's just such a coincidence, as long as Li Lin stays at home, Zheng Guogong will have all kinds of illnesses and accidents.

Li Qi sneered, in his opinion, grandpa's illnesses are all heart diseases!

Zhao Zhen returned to the other garden, he guessed that Li Lin at this time must be sad and sad, and quietly wept, when he walked into the other garden, the result surprised him again.

Li Lin was using stones, piling up some topographic maps, and playing war games with a few men.

Laughing from time to time, feeling satisfied with the fact that he had conquered the city.

Zhao Zhen shook his head, did not interrupt her interest, and quietly returned to his residence.

Zheng Guogong's mansion.

"Li Lin must have been in the room all the time!"

Zheng Guogong sat up from the couch and recalled the scene just now.

Just now, she must have been hiding behind Zhao Zhen!

He really regretted that he didn't let Zhao Zhen turn around, so that he might be able to catch her.

Speaking of Li Lin, she is indeed the granddaughter of Zheng Guogong who has a great headache.

Twenty years ago, on the eve of Li Lin's birth, a physiognomist once swore that this was a boy, and his luck was very good, and he would become a noble.

Unexpectedly, the time when the child was born was two days earlier than expected, and it turned out to be a girl.

Although he was a little disappointed, Zheng Guogong did not ignore this granddaughter too much, but what happened next made him miserable.

Since Li Lin was born, he has been suffering from minor illnesses, and things have not gone well one after another.

Later, the fairy-like Lan Daoshi helped him approve a hexagram, it turned out that Li Lin's birth eight characters were compatible with himself, as long as she was there, he would not be able to live in peace.

Zheng Guogong seriously sent Li Lin to other places for foster care, and later her teacher Sun Chengxian was transferred to the border as a general, and Li Lin was also taken away by the way.

This time, it is more than ten years.

Now that she has quietly returned, isn't this about putting herself to death?

And Li Qi! He refused to reveal anything about such a big thing.

If it weren't for Ji'an secretly telling him, he would still be in the dark.

Zheng Guogong lay weakly on the couch,

"Ouch...... Ay...... Yo ......"

"It's not that exaggerated!" Li Qi felt weak for his grandfather, and he was fine before.

Zheng Guogong waved his hand weakly and called Li Qi to him.

Li Qi took two steps forward, and as soon as he squatted in front of the collapse, Zheng Guogong grabbed his head.

Sharp: "Do you want me to return to the West early?" Good for my title! I'm telling you. If I die now, I won't give you this seat to Ji'an. ”

Ji An, who was on the side, looked at Li Qi in horror, for fear that he would take this sentence seriously.

Li Qi pulled his head out of his grandfather's hand.

Persuaded: "Grandpa, these are your psychological effects. ”

Seeing that his grandson was unrepentant, Zheng Guogong sat up, reached out and picked up the wooden stick hidden on the side of the bed, and was about to beat him when he got up, Li Qi rushed out of the door.

"How do you look like a sick man? ……”

Li Lin came back from the Ministry of War, and the people from the Ministry of War said that it would take at least half a month for her documents to be approved, and there were too many documents in the current backlog, so she was asked to wait.

Li Lin has always known that the efficiency of the imperial court office is slow, and this time it is really to the extent that it is slow.

Reluctantly, he returned to Zhao Zhen's courtyard.

I saw Li Qi waiting for him there.

"You're going to the military department?" He asked.

"I thought it would be something that would be solved in two or three days." Li Lin's tone was helpless.

Li Qi pondered for a moment: "Actually, that document can be sent back by others, as for you, just stay......"

When Li Lin heard him say this, he was a little indifferent: "I still don't think this place is suitable for me."

"Why isn't it appropriate? You are a member of this family, do you want to stay at the border for the rest of your life? Li Qi was serious.

"I've long been used to life outside, and I feel quite strange in the capital these days."

Li Qi's heart is heavy, what normal person would like to be tired of the prosperity of Kyoto while stuffing the bitter cold.

Zhao Zhen walked over with a fan, "I packed all the restaurants." ”

Li Lin said, "Thank you." "Keep your head down and walk away.

Li Qi looked at his sister's figure and was a little depressed.

Zhao Zhen shook his fan.

"Many years ago, my sister Princess Wen Pei, because she angered her father, was married to the Great Moon Kingdom, that was the first time that this dynasty used a real princess and relatives, since then there has been no news of her, born in the royal family, how can there be so much family affection."

The more Li Lin showed senselessness, the more Li Qi held back the fire in his heart.

"Why don't you marry her?"

Li Qi said to Zhao Zhen suddenly.

Zhao Zhen was so frightened by this sudden remark that the fan almost fell to the ground.

There was an indescribable expression on his face.

Frightened replied, "Actually, I ...... to her"

Li Qi knows that Zhao Zhen is a straight man and has always liked soft girls.

Li Lin may not be his favorite type.

said: "Don't be nervous...... You can have three wives and four concubines, as long as you are good to her in the future. ”

Speaking of Li Lin's lifelong events, in the Central Plains, a woman of this age should have gotten married a long time ago, but the family didn't care about Li Lin's affairs at all.

Zhao Zhen shook his fan, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'd better be a spare tire, before that, if she meets someone she likes, she will be fulfilled, and in the end, if there is no way...... I'll take it again. ”

"Good brother!"

Li Qi patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder, and his eyes showed gratitude again.

Zhao Zhen's heart was extremely painful, and he thought: But there must be a strong man who can fall in love with Li Lin, and quickly accept her, because he really doesn't like this type of woman......
