Chapter 288: Another cousin

Yan Jiu sighed very tiredly, "This road is too tiring, maybe it's good according to my father's wishes." ”

Li Yun, who had been silent, shook his head when he heard Yan Jiu's sigh, and responded, "You are more suitable for that position than Thirteen, and Thirteen doesn't have that thought, and he won't have that thought." ”

Li Yue saw the exhaustion in Yan Jiu's eyes, thought of Yan Jiu's situation over the years, and said comfortingly, "It's come this far, don't be discouraged, there are some things, if you want to open some, you are not alone, and we, Thirteen, Zhou Huaijin, so many people are standing behind you." ”

Yan Jiu listened to Li Yue's words, and his heart warmed, yes, there are so many people who don't dislike his humble status and choose to stand behind him to support him, even if it is for them, he must continue to persevere.

As soon as Zhou Huaijin was mentioned, Li Yue remembered that she should go to see him, and she didn't know how the injury was doing, so she opened her mouth and said to Li Yun, "Let's go see Zhou Huaijin in the afternoon?" ”

Li Yun responded, "Okay." ”

Li Yue looked at Yan Jiu, and before Li Yue could speak, Yan Jiu opened his mouth and refused, "I can't go with you, if I let those brothers know that I still have close contacts with the Zhenguo General's Mansion, I really can't stop." ”

Thinking that he had dug a lot of pits for Yan Jiu, if he continued to dig deeper, he would really bury Yan Jiu, but the gains would outweigh the losses, so Li Yue didn't speak again.

The two of them stayed in Yan Jiu's study and talked, and after chatting for a while, Li Zhong's voice came from outside, "Childe, my subordinates have a report." ”

Li Yun responded, "Come in." ”

After Li Zhong came in, he said, "See His Royal Highness the Nine." ”

Yan Jiu waved his hand and motioned for Li Zhong to get up, and Li Zhong got up and said, "Childe, madam, Zhou Yuan Houfu sent someone to say that Lord Guan next to the king is here, please go back as soon as possible." ”

Listening to Li Zhong's words, Yan Jiu responded, "It should be the edict of Feng Xiaoyue as the county lord of Chang'an, you should go back quickly, don't delay." ”

Wang Shang is not a person they can slack off at will, this Guan Hai is a person who has been with King Yan for many years, Li Yun and Li Yue did not dare to delay, stood up, said goodbye to Yan Jiu, and then left Yan Jiu's Mansion and went back to Zhou Yuan Mansion.

When the two of them went back to Zhou Yuanhou's mansion, Guan Hai beside King Yan was waiting in the main hall by Zhou Yuanhou, Li Yun and Li Yue went over, and Li Yun said to Guan Hai Shili apologetically, "Let Guan Daren wait for a long time." ”

Guan Hai hurriedly stood up and saluted back, "General Li is polite, the old man came over on the order of the king to announce the canonization edict of the county lord of Chang'an." ”

Li Yue responded politely, "It's troublesome Lord Guan." ”

Guan Hai is a person next to King Yan, and he needs to be by the king's side from time to time, so he is also very busy, and after reading the canonization edict, he left in a hurry.

As soon as Guan Hai left, Marquis Zhou and his two sons all saluted, "Congratulations to the county lord of Chang'an." ”

Li Yue responded with a smile, "My own family, you don't have to be so polite. ”

At this time, the Marquis of Zhou was haggard, and Zhou Liye was also full of anxiety, but Zhou Jiangong had an unconcealed joy on his face, Zhou Jinbao had an accident, and he had another chance for the heir-elect, and he was thinking in his heart that if he had a few more concubines, he would definitely give birth to a son before Zhou Liye.

As for the child in the belly of the concubine brought back by Zhou Liye, the Zhou family was in chaos at this time, but it was a good time for him to start.

Li Yun and Li Yue didn't stay in the front hall for long, and after a few polite words, the two planned to go back to the small courtyard where they lived.

On the way back, there was suddenly a child's cry, Li Yue frowned, and said to Li Yun on the side, "There are children in the Zhou Mansion?" ”

Li Yun thought for a while and said, "The Zhou Mansion has not added Ding in the past few years, but Mother Wu brought one yesterday. ”

Li Yue looked in the direction where the voice came from, "Let's go over and see what's going on." With that, he walked in the direction where the child's cry was heard.

The closer he got, the clearer the aroma of the food became, and Li Yue said as she walked, "Is that the kitchen over there?" ”

Li Yun said "um" softly, his eyes narrowed slightly, Li Yue looked at Li Yun's gaze, and saw Xu Qingqing holding a frightened and crying child in his arms, kneeling in front of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman, Xu Qingqing was holding a handkerchief in her hand, and she was shining the woman's shoes.

The woman was obviously a good age, but she was very gaudy with heavy makeup, and at this time she was holding a proud face, looking at Xu Qingqing and the child on the ground with unkind eyes.

And behind the woman, there was also a maid who was about the same age as her, and at this time, she was teaching Xu Qingqing, who was kneeling on the ground, with a proud face, "Cheap maid, don't have long eyes, if our young lady has any mistakes, she will have to take your cheap life." ”

"It depends on the owner to beat the dog, what are you?"

Li Yue walked over quickly, scolded coldly, pulled Xu Qingqing up from the ground, and then hugged the crying child into his arms and patted the child's back.

The woman with heavy makeup saw Li Yue and Li Yun behind Li Yue, and said with some panic, "Cousin, cousin." Just when he looked at Li Yun, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were also full of shyness.

Li Yue saw that the woman's spring heart rippled expression, glared at Li Yun very dissatisfied, and said coolly, "Yo, it's cousin again, you really have a lot of cousins." ”

When Li Yun received Li Yue's gaze, he was very helpless, but his face was even more cold, and the frightened "cousin" trembled a little.

The child finally quieted down under Li Yue's comfort, and Xu Qingqing on the side said timidly, "Madam, give the child to the little one." ”

Li Yue handed the child in her arms to Xu Qingqing, and said in a somewhat stern tone, "I don't need such a submissive person around me, give you a period of time to get used to it, and if you can't change it, just leave." ”

Without waiting for Xu Qingqing to answer, Li Yue turned her head to look at Li Yun's "cousin" who had not dared to make a move on the other side, and looked at the "cousin" and the maid from beginning to end.

At this time, Li Zhong also came over when he heard the movement here, and saw that Li Yun and Li Yue were all here, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "Son, madam, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yue saw Li Zhong coming over, and said, "You came just in time, this cheap maid collided with the county lord, you help the county lord send her to the Hou Ye, and ask what to do with this kind of cheap maid who collides with the master." ”

"No."

"By the way, tell the Hou Ye, although the county lord temporarily lives in his Hou Mansion, not all cats and dogs can come to provoke the county lord, let him take care of the cats and dogs in this mansion."

"No."

After explaining, Li Yue said to Xu Qingqing on the side, "Let's go." As for Li Yun, she directly ignored it.

was ridiculed by Li Yue, the "cousin" made an expression that he thought was very pitiful, and shouted very aggrievedly to Li Yunjiao, who was ignored by Li Yue, "Cousin! ”

It's just that after this sentence, Li Yun's expression became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Don't appear in front of me in the future." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left quickly, chasing Li Yue, and Li Zhong also directly took the stupid maid behind the "cousin" away and went to find the Hou Ye.

Only the "cousin" was left alone, looking at the back of Li Yun chasing Li Yue away, his eyes were full of gloom and anger, and he muttered, "I must snatch my cousin over." ”

Li Yue left with Xu Qingqing, and asked, "What happened just now?" ”

Xu Qingqing responded, "Mother asked me to come to the kitchen to see, is the meal ready, when Xiao Xin went to the kitchen, the kitchen lady in the kitchen saw that Xiao Xin was well-behaved, so she took a piece of pastry for Xiao Xin, and on the way back, she met the young lady, Xiao Xin fell recklessly for a while, and the pastry fell on the young lady's shoes, and then, and then ......"

Li Yue frowned and responded, "In the future, there will still be people in this mansion like this, directly report the name of the county lord, if you dare to do it, you will call me back directly." ”

Xu Qingqing said hesitantly, "But, it's ......."

Li Yue answered impatiently, "But what is it, just do as I say, if something like this happens today, I won't keep you here." ”

Xu Qingqing lowered her head and stopped talking.

Li Yue on the side said, "You guys go back first." ”

Xu Qingqing was instantly relieved if she received amnesty, saluted the two of them, and left quickly, carrying the child back to the small courtyard where they lived.

On the way back, only Li Yun and Li Yue were left, but Li Yue still walked forward by herself, and did not plan to deal with Li Yue, Li Yun consciously leaned up, took Li Yue's hand, and said very innocently, "I don't know, the grandchildren of this Hou Mansion, there is only one male Zhou Jinbao, but there are a lot of girls." ”

Li Yue snorted coldly, "You don't know people, I think people know you very well." ”

Li Yun sighed helplessly, I really didn't know how to explain it to Li Yue, and I was even more disgusted with Zhou Yanran in my heart, since Zhou Yanran went to Linzi County, the word "cousin" has become Li Yue's forbidden area, just like an artillery battle, it will explode at one point.

The two of them walked to the small courtyard where they lived one after another, they were silent and did not speak, Li Yue thought about it carefully, and felt that he was completely angry with Li Yun, too unreasonable, so he slowed down, and when he was side by side with Li Yun, he quietly reached out and grabbed Li Yun's hand.

Feeling the cool hand, Li Yun's lips couldn't help but rise, and his big hand took the initiative to hold Li Yue's little hand, and he said, "It's too cold outside, look at the cold hands, let's go back quickly." ”

Regarding the topic of "cousin", neither of them mentioned it again, and at this time, neither of them expected that this inconspicuous "cousin" was planning in their hearts at this time, how to snatch her "cousin" from Li Yue's hands.
