Chapter 200: Forced to revisit
Li Jicai didn't see them in such a formation in the carriage, and naturally he didn't know what was going on outside.
Cheng Cheng saw the commotion outside, and the people in Jiang Mansion seemed to be there, afraid that Li Jicai would be unhappy, so he informed her.
So they agreed to leave for the time being, and then come back when the people dispersed.
Li Jicai didn't think about returning to Jiang Mansion at all, thinking that it was possible to see Jiang Li, she felt cautious, after all, such a cruel person.
But Cheng Cheng didn't seem to know her mood at all, and insisted on taking her there, Li Jicai didn't even have a chance to refute, so he could only hold these words in his stomach for the time being, and then question Jiang Xihu when he returned to the capital in the future.
The flow of people was crowded, officials and businessmen stood at the gate of Jiangfu and waited with a smile, and the streets were full of onlookers, all kinds of people, as well as officers and soldiers to maintain order.
Seeing that the convoy was about to arrive at Jiangfu, but inexplicably turned around and went back, what was going on?
The county magistrate in Jinzhou City wanted to call someone to go up and stop him, but the old lady of Jiangfu stretched out his hand to stop it, signaling that there was no need to make a noise for the time being, which would make the distinguished guests unhappy, this time it must be because there were too many people, which caused the other party's dislike, so he turned around like this, and sent someone to follow quietly, to see where the distinguished guests were staying, and then invite them to meet in Jiangfu.
For the woman under the command of this noble man in the capital, I heard that she is a person under the current Four Princes, but she was born in their Jiang Mansion, and it seems that she has some origin, because the incident happened suddenly, and the old man Jiang has not had time to ask Jiang Li, and I am afraid that I will not be able to welcome the distinguished guests today.
Just took this opportunity to go back and interrogate the people in the house, and ask the woman who went out of which room came out, why did the people soar, but their family didn't know, how could they climb up if they didn't know?
After waiting for about half an hour, everyone saw that the county master had left unconsciously, which means that there was no excitement to see, so there was no point in them staying here any longer, so it was better to go back first.
Gradually, the crowd dispersed.
Cheng Cheng quickly found a slightly luxurious inn in Jinzhou City, occupying several shops, and let a group of dozens of people stay, and the rest of the people were scattered in other places in Jinzhou City because it was inconvenient to move, and they would gather together when they left the city.
The horses were led into the stables to enjoy the fresh hay, and those who were tired from the bumps on the road were finally able to rest.
Li Jicai was still a little unaccustomed to getting off the carriage, the carriage swayed left and right, and when she came down, she felt that her head was still swaying left and right, and she was a little crutches when she walked on the flat ground.
Biyu and Biluo stretched out to take Li Jicai's hand and took it back in embarrassment, because Li Jicai treated the two of them coldly, and they knew that they were also a little embarrassed, because in the confrontation between Li Jicai and Cheng Cheng, they chose to stand on Cheng Cheng's side, not her side.
"Braised beef, wine, cold dishes, are there any big dishes? A little bit of fish, and a bowl of noodles, I'm going to starve to death. After Li Jicai entered the inn, he didn't care about other people's eyes, and said directly to Xiao Er, most of the time on the road she ate dry food, and there were no exquisite meals, but she was hungry.
Xiao Er and the shopkeeper stood together, looked at the veiled woman in front of him, and then looked at Cheng Cheng who checked in, Cheng Cheng nodded, and Xiao Er quickly ran to the back kitchen.
The store has been forced to clear, and the other guests have been invited out, and from this moment on, there is no one else, Cheng Cheng and his party will stay here for a few days in a row.
Biyu saw that Li Jicai was going to eat first, so she called some people to help take the luggage upstairs, because the weather was getting colder, they added a lot of new clothes to Li Jicai, and there were a lot of packages, and they didn't know how long they were going to stay here, so it was better to take them all off.
Yangchun noodles, when it really tastes like that, it's not delicious, but fortunately, it can be eaten hot, so Li Jicai is not picky, "hula la" sucking noodles, gobbling up the appearance is very rude, which makes people look a little miserable.
On the outside, this woman is still quite gentle and ladylike, but as soon as she speaks, her behavior betrays her directly, like an uneducated wild girl.
Cheng Cheng sat at the table next to Li Jicai, eating the dishes slowly, adding a bowl of rice, and Dao He's thought of it seemed that he could still feel it, and the taste was very beautiful.
Jinzhou is the land of fish and rice, sericulture is also very good, the land is fertile, every year is the wind and rain, compared to the disaster and hardship of Liangzhou, it is a hundred times better. The drought, insect plague and famine there did not affect Jinzhou in the slightest.
Looking at Li Jicai's appearance of eating and drinking, Cheng Cheng was amused in his heart, and it could be seen that Li Jicai was not like this before, but he was dissatisfied with their practices, so he deliberately angered them on his face, and it was inevitable that some children had a bad heart, this son is not bad, but he is too immature, and often relies on gratuitous fantasies, he feels that he can shake the tree with mayflies, and the true temperament here is interesting.
"How many days are we going to stay in Jinzhou?" Li Jicai, who was eating noodles happily, suddenly thought of a question, put down the chopsticks, and then turned his head to ask Cheng Cheng, who was staring at him with his eyes open and unblinking.
"This is all up to Miss's personal wishes, Miss can stay for a few days if she wants." The fourth prince did not give Cheng Cheng a specific time to restrain him, but only said that he could drag it as long as possible, and if he couldn't drag it out, he would go back, and he would naturally think of countermeasures to deal with it.
Cheng Cheng once guessed what the solution was to this countermeasure? Why do you want to take countermeasures, is there any danger after Li Jicai returns to the capital?
Cheng Cheng is not worried about the rumors about Li Jicai outside, anyone who hears it will feel ridiculous, those groundless gossips will eventually be slowly annihilated, and the current reality is the most important thing.
"Now?" Li Jicai raised his eyebrows and proposed.
"Miss said it was funny, we just arrived here, why did we leave?"
"However, I don't want to go back to this place, my so-called hometown." Li Jicai accentuated the word hometown, as if to imply something.
"Miss, what the master means is that you are now under his door, and no one dares to bully Miss." Cheng Cheng said neither softly nor hard. "And, miss, don't you want to be ashamed in front of the old man?"
The meaning of the four princes seems to be that because Li Jicai has a grudge with Jiangfu, letting her return to Jiangfu this time can be regarded as saving her face.
"I don't want to, when is the time for retribution, my realm is high."
Li Jicai didn't have much interest in this kind of stupid demonstration, especially since the other party was still the person she tried to avoid, and she would rather face a piece of shit than Jiang Li.
That pervert! I gritted my teeth and felt sick when I thought about it.
"Since this is the case, then the subordinates have nothing to say, just stay in this Jinzhou City for three days, it just so happens that the subordinates still have some things to do, it will take a few days, and Miss Wang, etc."
Three days, well, just three days, she just endured.
Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. To be a man, sometimes you have to advance and retreat.
Then stay in the inn and don't go out for a few days.
"Of course, Miss, at the owner's wishes, you still have to go to Jiangfu, and of course, Jiangfu's invitation has also arrived." seemed to have guessed Li Jicai's thoughts, so Cheng Cheng did not hesitate to extinguish Li Jicai's illusions.
Cheng Cheng!! You wait for me! "I've never seen someone so brazen.
Li Jicai slammed the chopsticks on the table, Zhen's hands were numb, and she wanted to gasp in pain, but in order to show that she was very angry in front of Cheng Cheng, even if the painful face was distorted, she desperately endured it.
"Miss, slow down, your palms are fine, right?" Cheng Cheng held back his laughter and was extremely painful, but he still had to pretend to be concerned in his tone.
Li Jicai couldn't help but gesture a middle finger at him to show his disgust, Cheng Chengke didn't understand the meaning of this posture.
When everyone saw the scene of these two fighting, they were all silent.
And at this moment, in the Jiang Mansion, the old lady of the Jiang Mansion called someone to the front hall to discuss the matter, Jiang Li and Jiang Kai have arrived, and there are some other Jiang Mansion governors, and the rest of the clan do not live together, so they did not have time to notify, and the most important thing today is to find out who the girl who came out of the Jiang Mansion is, and what happened to the door of the nobles in the capital.
When others told Old Lady Jiang about this, he had a premonition of a crisis.
If this girl misses Jiangfu's kindness, then it's okay to say, but if this girl has an enmity with Jiangfu, if she makes a stumbling block, then Jiangfu's situation is not so good.
So, it has to be figured out today.
What kind of mood Jiang Li entered the front hall with, he was difficult to describe, Old Lady Jiang's residual power was still there, and he didn't dare to blatantly resist the old lady, he might be forced to say what happened back then today, Jiang Li was worried that he wouldn't say it, but let Old Lady Jiang find out, Jiang was still old and spicy, Jiang Li knew that his current wings were not full enough to compete with him.
The eldest brother Jiang was carried into the front hall by his subordinates, and Jiang Li himself was also carried by others.
Old lady Jiang looked at his two sick grandsons, and his face was gloomy and depressed.
Why is there no one in this generation who is good, and his body and bones are so bad.
"I called you here today to ask one thing clearly, in the end, this girl named Li Jicai, which courtyard is from, how did she get out of Jiangfu, how did she get into the nobles, and the relationship with Jiangfu is friend or foe."
Old lady Jiang didn't want to say those polite words, so she said straight to the point.
Then his gaze wandered around to see who had a different expression on their face.
Under such a sharp gaze, how could Jiang Li stand it? Naturally, his face showed a little panicked, after all, the person in front of him was his grandfather, the one who suppressed him since he was a child.
"Jiang Li, tell me, do you know the ins and outs of this matter?" Old lady Jiang said very majestically.
