Chapter 154: Question
Jin Nian's forehead jumped, not understanding why Su Jintong suddenly appeared behind them. She looked at Su Jinxi, and then went to see Su Jintong, both of them laughed and groaned, and they couldn't see anything unusual.
Su Jintong wore an autumn-colored butterfly love flower skirt, which made her complexion gorgeous, which made people feel bright when they looked at it. She took Gui Zhi and Tong's mother and walked into the water pavilion together.
Su Jinxi looked at Gui Zhi and asked, "I just saw the fifth sister go down the theater and come to the water pavilion, why did you suddenly run behind us?" β
Gui Zhi opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer.
"Where?" Su Jintong stepped forward and grabbed Su Jinxi's arm, "The eldest sister is dazzled and thinks the maid is me...... I don't! β
She was coquettish with Su Jinxi, her apricot eyes widened, and she looked very innocent, and both Zhang and Mrs. Liu were amused by her appearance.
Tong's mother on the side interjected: "The eldest lady doesn't know, the fifth lady went to the back of the stage, she had to see the props of the troupe, and asked the class owner for a mask...... What if the old lady knew about this? Miss, you have to persuade Miss Five, but you can't rely on your own temperament. β
When Su Jinxi heard this, she pretended to glare at Su Jintong: "The young lady of a big family is mixed with the drama, what will it look like if it is spread out!" You're almost a dead person, you have to take in your own temperament, and you can't do that in the future! β
Turning his head and saying to Zhang and Mrs. Liu: "Let my aunt and Mrs. Liu see the jokes, this child and old lady are as pampered as eyeballs, and such a big person is still a child." β
The implication is to ask the two of them not to tell Su Jintong about going backstage. Zhang and Mrs. Liu are also human spirits, and the two took turns to help Su Jintong speak, and they revealed the matter in three or five sentences.
The maid worked together to move out of the coffee table in the tea room, and also took out the tea set, which was a purple sand green painted gold ridge pot, with six tea cups of the same color, Jin Nian looked at it and felt very pleasing to the eye.
She picked up the teapot casually and wanted to pour tea for the Zhang family, but Su Jinxi stopped her: "I'm afraid this tea is cool, Guizhi, you remove this pot and replace it with a new one." β
When Jin Nian heard this, his fingertips brushed the pothole, and the body of the pot was still warm. She blinked, and before she could speak, Gui Zhi was quick over there, and the teapot was taken away by her in one fell swoop.
When the new tea came up, everyone took a few sips, and estimated that it was time for Chen Chuanyun to play, so Su Jinxi suggested that everyone go back to the theater.
Jin Nian said: "I don't understand those dramas, big sister should spare my ears from suffering!" I saw that the weather was hot, and I was afraid that there was no herbal tea prepared in the kitchen, so I simply had nothing to do, so I went to the kitchen for my aunt and asked them to prepare some sour plum soup. β
Mama Gong was outside, and she wanted to ask Su Jintong and GΓΆran what was going on.
Su Jinxi knew that Jin Nian didn't like to listen to the drama anymore, so she didn't force her anymore, got up and took Zhang and the others back to the theater the same way.
Jin Nian breathed a sigh of relief, she asked Du Juan to find the palace grandmother, and made an appointment to meet in the water pavilion later, and she took Yingge to the back kitchen.
The master and servant walked along the tree-lined path unhurriedly, and when they passed by the purple bamboo forest, Jin Nian saw two people standing in the hexagonal pavilion not far in front of him, and seemed to hear movement behind him, and both of them turned around and looked at Jin Nian.
It was Li Lie and his guards who showed their style.
Jin Nian is not moving forward, nor is he retreating, and Li Lie has already walked out of the pavilion.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss Six is all right?"
He stood a few feet away from Jin Nian to greet her, wearing a dark color plate gold embroidered robe, goodbye after half a year, he seemed to be whiter than when he met at the post station outside Yangzhou City, but it felt as cold as ever, and the narrow phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, as if looking at her.
Jin Nian bent down to greet him, and said, "Grandpa Guo is not listening to the drama in the theater, but he is waiting for someone here?" β
Listening to what Zhang meant just now, Li Lie has been busy with the matter of the Zhiyan case, and it is difficult to take a break, and it is beyond Jinnian's expectation that he can come to the banquet today.
Li Lie shook his head silently.
In fact, he came to see Su Youbai. After coming to Yangzhou City, the investigation of the salt case was greatly resisted. Those people were not afraid that he had the power to promote the magistrate in his hands, and they were outwardly respectful to him, and when it came to the matter of the salt tax, they passed the buck to each other and dealt with him with some false bills.
Even Governor Yang, it seems that because of Yang Ru's death, he gradually became less interested in him.
For several days, there was almost no progress in the investigation of the salt case.
He heard that although the official position of the fourth master of Su Mansion was low, and his official position had nothing to do with the salt tax, he had a wide range of contacts, and he might be able to tell some truths.
These things were not clear in a sentence or two, so he simply didn't tell Jin Nian the truth.
Jin Nian saw that he didn't mean to say much, thinking of the rumors about him in Yangzhou City recently, he still couldn't escape the notoriety of his wife in his previous life. Thinking that he might be like Li Lie, he could not escape the bad luck of his previous life, and Jin Nian's heart was calm for a while.
She said goodbye to Li Lie: "Sister Yang's matter, Grandpa Guo still asks for condolences." β
She straightened her waist and stepped forward, intending to bypass Li Lie and move forward.
Li Lie raised his eyes to look at Jin Nian, she had grown a lot taller than half a year ago, and she was getting more and more excited. Regarding Yang Ru's death, after he arrived in Yangzhou, no one had ever mentioned it to him in person, as if he was afraid that he would be bored with a cold face on the spot.
Unexpectedly, she was an exception, although he was not interested in Yang Ru, but I have to say that because of her words, his always cold and hard heart was inadvertently touched.
"Thank you!"
When Jin Nian was about to stagger over, Li Lie spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
Jin Nian stopped and smiled at him, and when her thoughts turned, she said again: "Can I ask Grandpa Guo a question?" β
She knew it was a bit abrupt, but it had been haunting her mind in recent months. Thinking about it, among the people she knows, maybe only Li Lie knows the answer, she met by chance today, but she doesn't know when she will meet next time, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Please!" Li Lie was as silent as ever.
Jin Nian said: "When Grandpa Guo was in the southwest, had you ever heard of the name Li Hong? β
In her two identical dreams, Li Hong, a famous doctor in the southwest, appeared, and Gu Yanyi went to ask him for medicine. The dream was too real, she was eager to verify, was it just a simple dream, or did there really exist such a person, if so, could the things in the dream really happened in the previous life?
Li Lie didn't expect Jin Nian to be inquiring about him, he went to the southwest last year, and after returning to Beijing, his official affairs became busy, and he gradually became a little vague about the personnel in the southwest.
Jin Nian's bright eyes were still staring at him, Li Lie searched carefully in his mind, and then asked Jin Nian rhetorically: "Li Hong? Is he the old friend of Miss Six?
