Chapter 56: Reunion
Lin Xiaotong's little face was still childish, but at this moment, he patted his chest and said with a serious face: "Xiaotong did it, when my brother was away, Xiaotong took care of his mother, and accompanied his mother to eat fast and chant Buddha every day, but my mother said that I was young, and it was the time to grow my body, so I was not allowed to eat vegetarian every day, and I was only allowed to eat vegetarian food once every three days." ”
The smile on Qin Jingtian's face became worse and worse, and he rubbed Xiao Tong's head and said, "Then when I am not at home in the future, you have to take care of your mother concubine, you know." ”
In the past, Lin Xiaotong didn't experience mother's love in Jiang Chunhua, but after being with Concubine Degui, he really felt mother's love, and he would accompany him to eat every morning, and after the meal, he would tell him to eat a little dessert, and then he would study, and his clothes were also made several times.
He didn't covet these good, but he just felt that Concubine De really cared about him, would ask him if he was hungry, would care if he was happy, would accompany him to worry about Lin Qingdai, and would accompany him to read books and tell stories.
Jiang Chunhua didn't do these for him, in the village before, Jiang Chunhua was often not at home, he was hungry and he could only go to the village to find the village chief, or the neighbors sent him food, most of the clothes he wore were given by the people in the village, in fact, these were tolerable, what made him sad was that Jiang Chunhua actually regarded him as an item that threatened Lin Qingdai.
Now he is very happy and cherishes everything.
Nodding his head and reassuring, "I will take care of my mother." ”
Lin Qingdai stepped forward, pinched the little boy's face and said, "Recently, it has grown meat, and this little face is cute." ”
After smiling, he looked at Mr. Cao and said, "Sir, let's stop here today, we haven't seen Xiaotong for a long time, if you want to get together, you can go back and rest first." ”
Mr. Cao agreed to come down, packed up his books and left.
The sound of conversation outside made Concubine De stand at the door early.
Seeing that Qin Jingtian and Lin Qingdai came back safely, the hanging heart finally let go, and beckoned to Lin Xiaotong, who immediately ran up to help Concubine De out of the door.
Lin Qingdai also hurriedly stepped forward to hold Concubine De's other hand.
Concubine De said with a smile on her face: "I listened to the magpie chirping on the branches this morning, it's really a happy event, both of you have returned safely, how is this trip to Anyang City?" ”
Since the day Lin Qingdai and Qin Jingtian left, this heart has been like a big stone hanging from it, although it can receive a letter every two or three days, but this heart is always uneasy.
In addition, listening to the maid say that Lin Xiaotong would have nightmares every night, he was even more worried about the safety of Lin Qingdai and Qin Jingtian.
This heart that has been hanging for more than half a month has finally been put down.
The four of them walked slowly to the pavilion, and after sitting down, the maid brought the tea that had just been brewed, brought the candied fruit, and the four of them sat down.
Lin Qingdai sat down and was not polite, eating candied fruit and listening to Qin Jingtian and Concubine De talk.
After talking for a while, Qin Jingtian talked about Li Peilan: "After I left, did Li Peilan come to the door?" ”
Concubine De's expression was a lot more serious, and after glancing at Lin Xiaotong, she said: "Xiaotong doesn't like her, she has come a few times with a cheeky face, and every time she will send some small things, and she also flattered Xiaotong and sent some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but I asked people to retreat, she still didn't give up, even Mrs. Li came to the door to test it several times, and her words said that Li Peilan was old, and when it was time to get married, she was obviously testing my meaning." ”
She dislikes Li Peilan more and more, to say that she could tolerate Li Peilan before, after knowing the things she did to Lin Xiaotong, she loved the house and Wu, and was very disgusted with Li Peilan.
This Li Peilan has good intentions for the position of Princess Li.
Qin Jingtian said with a gloomy face: "She has the ability, Qingdai's grandmother's family hasn't moved around for more than ten years, and they can actually find it, and they deliberately set up a situation to say that Qingdai has a marriage contract, and the desire to get Qingdai away from me is too strong." ”
Between mother and son, anything can be said, and Li Wangfu is in everyone's sight.
Now in the entire Ningyang City, among the eight princes who are still in Ningyang City, he is the only one who has not married a wife.
Two years earlier, he went to the border and was delayed, and after returning to Ningyang City, he had no intention of marrying a wife at all, and in addition, all his energy was spent on helping the emperor do things and taking care of Concubine De, and he didn't meet a woman he liked, so he didn't want to marry a wife.
And because of this, Li Peilan has set her sights on the position of Princess Li, not so much that Li Peilan likes the position of Princess Li, but that the Li family urgently needs this position.
Lord Li can't always be promoted in the court, the reason is that he doesn't have too deep roots, if Li Peilan becomes Princess Li, it will be different, he has been in the border pass, and the soldiers at the border pass respect him very much, and even the emperor respects him very much.
Even if he doesn't say good things about Lord Li in front of the emperor, Lord Li can rise to the top.
In the imperial court, many officials are related to each other.
Concubine De sighed, her eyes were full of helplessness: "I don't like her very much, and yesterday I sent a post to the Li Mansion, saying that I am ill today and don't want to see guests." ”
But after saying that, he began to worry about Lin Qingdai: "Qingdai, have you heard your father and mother say, have you been married before?" ”
Lin Qingdai said with certainty: "No, I am very sure of this, my mother has a bad relationship with my mother's family, I have long broken off contact, I have never heard my parents say it since I was a child, Lin Ziyun also told me before, when we get out of the palace, we will find a good family to marry, there is really no family matter, even if the family forcibly says yes, I don't admit it." ”
How can you admit such a thing as a family affair, she is not brain-dead, what kind of thing is tangerine peel! It's vulgar and ugly.
After being with Qin Jingtian, she found that her vision was higher.
Lin Xiaotong opened his mouth at this moment and said: "My sister has no relatives, everyone in the village knows about it, and the village chief was worried about it before, saying that my sister is eighteen years old when she returns to the village from the palace, and she must help find a family affair." ”
He has always lived in the village and has heard a lot of things.
After Qin Jingtian took a sip of tea, he said calmly: "Li Peilan estimates that there is a trick, although I haven't asked those people, but I see that the little ghost is difficult, I am afraid that this matter is not easy to be good, Qingdai has to be careful, as for Li Peilan's side, I will solve it as soon as possible." ”
Lin Qingdai sighed, a little tired: "I hope they can retreat in the face of difficulties, if they don't know what to do, isn't there a plague!" ”
She's not a good person, I'm really going to provoke her, don't blame her for being rude.
Qin Jingtian's eyes lit up, he was worried that he couldn't solve a few people well, but with Lin Qingdai's reminder, he suddenly laughed: "Qingdai, you reminded me, I'll go to the palace now." ”
