Chapter 23: Xiao Jiu knows his mistakes
After Concubine Li finished planting the flower branches, Emperor Jingming took her and quietly left the apse of the Flower Temple with her escorted by the emperor's own army.
The apse was immediately opened to the people.
Just now, the little ladies who saw Huo Xiaoting entering the apse in the clouds and fog naturally hugged in.
But the apse is now empty, and there is no trace of a single person.
Huo Xiaoting and Li Qia left after Emperor Jingming and Concubine Li.
After sending off the holy driver, the two glared at each other and parted.
Li Qia came out of the Flower Temple and soon saw Wei Yiran, who came to look for her.
"Cousin, I just saw the person who dragged you up the tree, isn't it Huo Xiaoting? You ......" He looked at Li Cha in surprise, with exclamation marks and question marks painted all over his face.
"That's not the point." Li Cha quietly told him about meeting Emperor Jingming in the apse of the Flower Temple.
Wei Yiran was even more surprised after hearing this, "So the Holy Lord didn't go to court at all today?" Wasn't Xie Yushi kidnapped for nothing? ”
"What we should be concerned about now is what Daddy's plans are next." Li Cha pulled back Wei Yiran's somewhat deviated thoughts.
"I guess my uncle should go back to discuss with my aunt first, instead of going back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I think you guessed right." Li Cha pointed to the food stall selling flower cakes in the back alley of the Flower Temple, "Cousin, buy me a piece of flower cake, let's go home." ”
Wei Yiran took out his purse and bought her a piece of each of the many flavors of flower cakes, and then led her back to the Li Mansion.
The two inquired in the gatehouse and learned that Li Jiuye had come back first.
Li Qia and Wei Yiran went to Li Jiuye and Li Jiu's grandmother's courtyard together.
At the door of the main room, the little maid guarding the door widened her eyes when she saw Li Qia appear, "Ninth girl, didn't you run away from home?" ”
"I'm back again." Li Cha didn't wait for the pass, and pushed the door in the bag of flower cakes.
In the inner room, there was first an anxious voice from Grandma Li Jiu: "Master, what should I do, Xiao Jiu, she ran away from home." ”
Yi Niang rest assured, her husband has already sent someone to find her. And this kid is just naughty, and he won't go far. Although he said that, Li Jiuye's voice was not easy.
"If this is known to the ancestor of the long house, I am afraid that it will be brought out of the family law again."
"Don't worry, no, Xiao Jiu will be back soon. What I'm worried about now is whether or not we're going to make this happen. ”
"Is there really something wrong with Xie Yushi?"
"Not only did Xie Yushi not appear today, but even the Holy Lord said that he was sick today and did not have an early dynasty."
"Huh?" Grandma Li Jiu sat on the bed.
"I'm afraid this is providence!" It was at this time that Li Cha lifted the curtain and entered the house.
Li Jiuye and Grandma Li Jiu turned their heads to look at her at the same time.
Li Jiuye's steps were faster, and he stepped forward and pulled Li Qia to look left and right, like looking at some lost treasure.
This reminded Li Qia that in her previous life, she once went up the mountain with her grandfather, but there was no signal and she lost contact with the outside world, and her father drove for ten hours and came to look for her with red eyes.
She kept complaining that her parents had thrown her by her grandfather's side and asked, "Dad, aren't you very busy at work?" ”
Dad replied to her: "Work is indeed a more important part of life, but Xiaocha is the whole of Dad's life." ”
Now Li Jiuye's expression in front of him is exactly the same as when his father found her in his previous life.
Li Qia lowered his eyes slightly and secretly told himself that he would never play such a bitter trick in front of this pair of parents who loved their children in the future.
When she dissipates Li Jiuye and Li Jiu's grandmother's thoughts about her and Huo Xiaoting, she must be filial to them and accompany them more.
Grandma Li Jiu, who was a step behind, also pounced, and simply hugged Li Qia in her arms, "Xiao Jiu, mother's Xiao Jiu'er, how can you leave your mother alone." Tears poured down Li Cha's forehead.
"Look at you, isn't the kid back?" Li Jiuye stepped forward to persuade Grandma Li Jiu.
But his eyes were already moist, "Xiao Jiu, what you want in the future, what you don't want, just tell your father and mother directly, and don't do this thing of running away from home again." ”
Li Qia took a step back at this time, and knelt in front of Li Jiuye and Li Jiu's grandmother with a plop, "Daddy, mother, Xiao Jiu knows it's wrong." ”
Li Jiuye and Grandma Li Jiu dragged Li Qia up neatly, and said in unison: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
"Daddy, mother, Xiao Jiu doesn't want to get married, Xiao Jiu wants to stay with his parents for two more years."
Grandma Li Jiu only had time to take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears at this time, "Does Xiao Jiu not like that little grandfather Huo again, who does Xiao Jiu like?" ”
"No matter who it is, Xiao Jiu doesn't like it, Xiao Jiu doesn't want to marry now."
"But Xiao Jiu is already in time when he sees it, how can there be a girl in the family who doesn't marry." Li Jiuye said worriedly.
"The eighth sister is one year older than me, and now I haven't decided to marry. The seventh sister is two years older than me, and she has just been married. Why does a father have to marry his daughter so early? ”
Grandma Li Jiu was busy tugging at Li Jiuye's sleeve, "She doesn't want to marry, so don't marry first, don't force her, the child just needs to come back." ”
Li Jiuye sighed lightly, "Then let's do it first." "I can't help but regret in my heart, such a good candidate as Grandpa Huo, after this village, there really won't be this shop.
"Thank you, Daddy, thank you, Mother." Only then did Li Cha show his joy again.
She hurriedly picked up the flower cake next to her, "Daddy, mother, this is Xiao Jiu's flower cake that honors you." ”
After speaking, he pinched two pieces of flower cake and gave them to eat, "Daddy tastes it, my mother tastes it, it's sweet." ”
Grandma Li Jiu took the flower cake, tears fell again, and said with relief: "Xiao Jiu'er has really grown up, and she knows how to buy things to honor us." ”
Although Li Jiuye didn't cry, his shoulders shook with excitement, "Yes, you can give her some more silver when you go back, so that her monthly money will not be enough to spend." ”
Grandma Li Jiu bowed, "I'll book a table and banquet in the evening to celebrate Xiao Jiu's safe return." ”
The temptation of food made Li Qia "conscienceless" and reminded Grandma Li Jiu that she had only run away from home for less than half a day.
coaxed Li Jiuye and Grandma Li Jiu to be happy, and their hearts were also relieved.
Li Qia came out of the house again and snapped his fingers at Wei Yiran, who was waiting in the courtyard, "It's done!" ”
"What?" Wei Yiran touched his head, "My cousin has been saying some strange words lately. ”
"It's about success." A smile overflowed from the corner of Li Cha's mouth, and he was climbing into the sky at this time.
Equally bright is her mood.
Xie Yushi didn't go to the court, even the emperor was in court, and now Li Jiuye and Grandma Li Jiu have also changed their minds.
The fate of this life will no longer develop in that trajectory.
