Chapter 60 Surrender
Song Xiangjun heard Gu Huanyi talk about the details of her and Li Congxin's relationship for the first time, and she was envious.
"The prince treats you really well!" She thought of herself and said, "I don't ask for anything else, as long as Feng Huajun can look at me squarely and say something to me with a smile, I feel very good!" ”
Song Xiangjun hasn't gone out these days, and he doesn't know about the closure of the Kirin Club.
Gu Huanyi was afraid that she would be in a mood after knowing that Feng Huajun returned to Jinling, so she endured it and didn't say anything, changed the topic and took Song Xiangjun to the kitchen to check the dishes.
Not long after, the guests came early, but Li Congxin arrived before the banquet because he was delayed by tolerance.
He came so late, Cui Jingxuan clamored to punish him for drinking.
Li Congxin said with a smile: "Miss Gu is the east for me today, she is here with me, what's the difference?" ”
Cui Jingxuan slapped the table and smiled: "Second brother, you have changed!" You weren't like that before! ”
Li Congxin was just joking, but he still accepted the punishment for the wine that should be punished, and drank three glasses in a row.
Gu Huanyi saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly persuaded: "The wine is still cold, you drink it slowly." ”
Li Congxin put down the wine glass, took the wine cup in front of Gu Huanyi, and said, "You are not allowed to drink." ”
Cui Jingxuan was surprised: "Second brother, today is your birthday, how can Miss Gu not drink?" Hand over the cup. ”
Li Congxin said: "She has a bad stomach and can't drink, so I drank her share for her." ”
Cui Jingxuan shook his head: "I can't stand it anymore." ”
He poured Qiao Jingyun a glass of wine and said, "Madam, they don't know the pleasure of drinking, we husband and wife drink together, teach them what it means to be a husband and a wife." ”
Qiao Jingyun covered her mouth and smiled, and raised her glass to have a drink with Cui Jingxuan.
He Guangling hugged his arms and shook his head, and said to Song Xiangjun, who was also single: "It's obviously a birthday banquet, how can you eat like a wedding banquet." ”
At the banquet, everyone was staggered and excited, Li Congxin's little servant Hu Shen bowed into the door and whispered a few words in Li Congxin's ear.
Gu Huan's face changed when he saw him, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Congxin recovered his expression and said, "Someone came to Zidezhai to send a congratulatory gift and wanted to see me, so I asked Hu Shen to send him away." ”
He didn't say who it was, so Gu Huanyi didn't ask deeply.
But after a while, Hu Shen turned back again.
After Li Congxin heard him say a few more words, he frowned and said, "You can bring her here." ”
Everyone looked at Li Congxin, and Li Congxin explained: "Fang Yurong said that he wanted to talk to me about Wu Lie. ”
He Guangling hated Fang Yurong very much, and said bluntly: "How can she be so disappointing, don't say it early or late, just pick your birthday!" ”
Qiao Jingyun was afraid that Gu Huanyi would think too much, so she hurriedly said, "No matter when you say it, it's just a matter of two sentences." ”
Gu Huanyi called the shopkeeper of Defu Building and said, "Go and arrange the upper wing room for the prince to meet guests, and avoid some people when you bring guests in." ”
The shopkeeper was instructed to make arrangements.
Li Congxin said to Gu Huanyi with a little apology: "I'll come when I go." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded and didn't say much.
Li Congxin did not see Fang Yurong in Zidezhai, but brought her to Defu Building, which was to show his attitude.
Gu Huanyi wouldn't be suspicious of her about this matter, but she was very curious about what Fang Yurong would say to Li Congxin.
What does she know about Wu Lie?
In the next room, Fang Yurong went upstairs under the leadership of the shopkeeper, and saw that there were no guests in the entire Defu Building, and said to Li Congxin with a smile: "I was still thinking about how the prince could meet me in a crowded place, and it turned out that he had covered all this place." ”
Li Zixin hooked the corners of his lips and said, "This is what Miss Gu wrapped up for my birthday, and she has a heart." ”
Fang Yurong's smile froze, and asked, "Miss Gu is also there?" ”
Li Congxin nodded and said, "There are still many friends waiting for me, what are you looking for me, Miss Fang might as well talk about it straight to the point." ”
Fang Yurong held a scroll of calligraphy and painting in his hand and said, "Thinking that today is your birthday, I made a pair of calligraphy and paintings for you." ”
Li Congxin didn't pick it up, but said lightly: "Let it go." ”
Fang Yurong still didn't get to the point, but opened the scroll and read the poem on the scroll: "'The loving mother leans on the door, and the wanderer travels hard. When I heard that my son had left home since he was a child, I think I would be able to understand the pain of separation between mother and child. ”
Li Congxin didn't answer her words.
Fang Yurong originally wanted to say that her birthday was her mother's Good Friday, and she planned to talk about the late Princess Ming with emotion.
But seeing that Li Congxin's face was getting colder and colder, and he was afraid that Princess Ming was Li Congxin's backscale, he had to turn around and say: "Wu Lie is somewhat similar to you in this regard. He left home since he was a child, enlisted in the army with Wuxing, and worked his way up to the commander of the West Factory, almost never living with his parents. ”
Li Congxin interrupted: "Miss Fang is mistaken, Wu Lie's parents died early and he is an orphan. ”
Fang Yurong shook his head: "You are mistaken. Wu Lie's parents and grandparents, the family has been the servants of the Xianwang Mansion for generations, he has been raised as a chess piece since he was a child, his parents are still there today, and there are also brothers who work for the Xianwang. ”
Li Congxin became serious, if what she said was true, then Li Congxin really didn't know.
"How do you know?"
Fang Yurong pursed his lips and smiled: "I can't tell you this." ”
The Fang family has been operating in the court for several generations, and originally planned to marry the Xianwang Mansion, so there must be dealings, and it is possible to find out.
"I heard that you go to Dali Temple every day these days to interrogate him personally, but you can't open his mouth, and you definitely can't find his wife and children. I'm here to tell you this today, I want to tell you that don't waste your efforts on Wu Lie, even if he has brotherhood with you, he will never betray his blood relatives. ”
Li Congxin asked: "What are you telling me all this for?" ”
Fang Yurong said: "This is just a little sincerity on my part, if you are willing to accept my kindness, the Fang family will definitely give you more help, and you will not fall into the situation you are in now." Although I am touched by the affection between you and Miss Gu, how can a person like us be emotional? ”
Li Congxin sneered and said, "Miss Fang's kindness, I can't afford it." I don't need the help of the Fang family. ”
Fang Yurong was a little disappointed, she thought that Li Congxin was betrayed by her brother and questioned by the courtiers, so she should respond to her help at this time.
Li Congxin continued: "I am very grateful that you came to tell me this today, and I don't want to owe you anything, so I will also reveal a message to you. Your piano master, Hanxi Jushi, is a person from the Virtuous King, so Miss Fang should be careful. ”
Fang Yurong's back immediately tensed in disbelief.
But recently, the Hanxi monk often called her to the piano club, saying that she was not quiet when she played the piano, and asked her if she had anything on her mind.
He often sent assistant teacher Ning Qingfeng to the house to deliver piano scores, which was much more frequent than usual.
Is it really helping Li Chengxu check her?
She tried her best to control her expression, got up and said, "Shizi is really a person who can do business, and I hope we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." ”
