Chapter 040: Li Lie

It was June very quickly.

During this period, Jin Nian accompanied Su Jinyan to Lu Mansion, and not long after she entered Lu Mansion, she was pulled by Lu Jingxian to read the script.

It was Mrs. Lu who praised the ladies of the Su family again, and took Su Jinyan's hand and said for a long time, it seems that she is very satisfied with Su Jinyan......

During this period, an incident also occurred that shook the government and the opposition.

On the 8th day of the first month of June, the Zhennan Army reported 800 miles in an urgent report that the Great Zhou Dynasty had created a number of burning, killing and plundering incidents on the southwest border in Jiaozhi, a vassal state in the southwest, and slaughtered nearly 1,000 people.

On this day, as soon as Jin Nian came back from the school, he heard that Su Ziang had returned home from the academy vacation.

After looking at the hourglass, the time had not yet arrived, so she asked Du Juan to take the book that was going to be sent to Su Ziang, and hurriedly went to Su Ziyun's courtyard.

Su Ziang lived in Mo Yuxuan in the outer courtyard, and when she arrived, the courtyard was quiet, and even Su Ziang's scholar was gone, only the cicadas chirped on the tall plane trees.

"Why haven't you seen anyone?" Jin Nian muttered a little and stepped into the hall.

Li Lie was standing in the main hall of Mo Yuxuan, and the sound of cicadas outside "know, know" added a little anxiety to Midsummer, and his narrow phoenix eyes quietly looked at the picture of snow pressing green pines hanging on the wall.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl suddenly broke into the house, and when she saw him inside, she was stunned for a moment, panic flashed in her bright eyes, and her beautiful lips pursed slightly in surprise, and when she reacted, she turned around and was about to withdraw.

The panicked look of rushing to dodge was very similar to the anxious heart under the calm surface of his face at the moment.

Realizing this, a crack flashed on his usually expressionless face, and somehow, he suddenly had the idea of talking to her.

"Wait, the tea in Jinchun House last time, thank you!" As he spoke, he sat down in front of the mahogany flathead and picked up the teacup on the table.

Tea in Jinchun Building? Jin Nian was puzzled, she stopped, turned around, and looked behind her in confusion, only to see that the young man was tall, wearing a straight skirt with a dark silver thread pattern.

It turned out to be the British Gong Li Lie! In Jinchun Building, because of a basket of crab roe soup dumplings, they gave a pot of Tieguanyin as a thank you.

Jin Nian blinked in disbelief, how could he be in the eldest brother's house? She originally thought that this person was a classmate of Su Ziang College, but she didn't expect it to be a British duke.

Today, he wears a black brocade straight coat, and the neckline and placket are embroidered with silver thread with bamboo leaf patterns, which makes his handsome facial features look particularly cold, and his narrow phoenix eyes look at people with a high coldness.

She was suddenly a little embarrassed, and she felt a sense of shame that she had done something wrong and was discovered, and the door of Jinchun Building thought that he didn't see her, but she didn't think that she would be able to recognize her at a glance when they met again.

"No, I'm not the one who spends the money in the end!" She was a little weak-hearted, when the meal came out that day, they didn't settle the bill at all, and it was estimated that the shopkeeper was directly classified as a cost.

It's honest! Li Lie's anxious heart was successfully swept away a lot by these words.

Coincidentally, Su Ziang came in and saw Jin Nian coming, he was so surprised that he asked casually, "Sixth sister, are you looking for me?" ”

Jin Nian hurriedly shook his head, "Big brother is busy beforehand, I'll come back another day." When she had finished speaking, she was about to withdraw.

Su Ziang was a little sorry and said, "Okay, I'll go back and look for you." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the British duke, "This is my sixth sister." ”

"We've seen it." Li Lie answered lightly, "I still owe Miss Six a favor." ”

His voice was a little low, but Su Ziang was shocked by his words and couldn't react for a while, and looked back and forth between the two in surprise.

What kind of favor is this! Su Jinnian slandered in her heart, if it weren't for Li Lie's solemn face just now, Jinnian would have thought that she was making fun of her.

Li Lie didn't speak, and Jin Nian was helpless, so he had to simply tell Su Ziang about the dishes in Jinchun Building.

"I didn't expect that." Su Ziang laughed helplessly, "Grandpa Guo was robbed of snacks on the first day he came to Yangzhou, and he blamed the housemate for being ignorant!" ”

Li Lie pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Su Ziang seemed to have long been accustomed to his silence, waved his hand to Jin Nian, and said with a straight face: "This is the British father, don't apologize to the grandfather of the country soon!" ”

It was impossible to walk away this time, she didn't want to save Su Ziang's face, so she had to go back and walk to Li Lie.

Jin Nian's height was considered to be the best among his peers, but as soon as he stood in front of Li Lie, he felt an invisible sense of oppression.

She bowed her knees respectfully and apologized, "I collided with Grandpa Guo that day, please forgive me!" ”

Li Lie glanced at her casually and said in a low voice, "It's okay." Then he said to Su Ziang, "What, Brother Su has that book here?" ”

was interrupted by Su Jinnian like this, and almost forgot to get down to business, Su Ziang was a little annoyed and sorry, "The Southwest Geographical Atlas is still in Ji Ping's hands, and when I returned to Yangzhou, I forgot to change it back!" When he was in the capital, he had a very good personal relationship with Ji Ping, who also went to Beijing to take the exam, and the two often exchanged books, but when they returned to Yangzhou, they forgot to change them back!

Right now, Li Lie is eagerly waiting for this book!

"So ......" Li Lie pondered for a moment, "Among the people Brother Su knows, do you know who has it?" ”。

Su Ziang's heart moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Yes, Grandpa Guo is here for a while, and I will come when I go." "Since Gu Yanyi moved out of the academy, I haven't been to his new residence, I only know that he lives near the Salt Transport Envoy, and now I go to look for someone, but I don't know if I can find it?

Jin Nian stood aside, and when he hesitated, he heard the conversation between the two and stood up, "What the eldest brother said, but this one?" As she spoke, she raised the book wrapped in brown paper in her hand.

Su Ziang stopped, took the paper bag and hurriedly opened the brown paper wrapped outside, and a few big characters of the Southwest Geographical Atlas appeared in front of him.

"Sixth sister, where did you get the book?" Su Ziang was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and his right hand patted the writing, "Can you lend it to us first?" ”

That's a coincidence! Su Jinnian said with a smile: "It was originally given to the eldest brother, how can I borrow it or not!" "This book was originally taken by her from your grandfather, but she didn't need it anyway, so she put it on the bookshelf for nothing to eat ashes and give it to Su Ziang, but she got what she wanted.

"Sent to me?" , Su Ziang was very surprised, but she just gave her a clay figure, but she politely returned a generous gift! If he refused, he would seem to be out of sight, "Then thank you Sixth Sister." ”

When the book reached Li Lie's hand, his distinct fingers quickly flipped the paper, "Bang, bang" a few times, and then turned to the last page, then bowed slightly, "Thank you two here, I will take the book first, and return it when I come back, don't pass it away!" ”

When he said this, his voice was still low, but Su Jinnian still heard a little anxiety, thinking of his great power in the southwest in the future, Su Jinnian guessed that it must have happened in the southwest, and the emperor urgently recruited him to return to Beijing!

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Grandpa Guo, take care!" ”

He bowed his head in silence and strode out of Mo Yuxuan.
