"Delicate and not squeamish, I didn't stop when I got to the inn, and I kept waiting for you at the door," Lin Buregret stood on the second floor after hearing their voices, and his words were sour and envious, and then he raised his hand and nodded a little salute, and said, "Don't come up and change into dry clothes, so as not to catch a cold." The last sentence was suddenly raised in a high voice, and the tone was amused, and he stood on a high place and looked at the people below with slightly red cheeks and a smile from ear to ear.

Sheng Li and Lin Buregret are in the same room, and after he finished changing his clothes, Ji Liu also came.

"You just came back from Old Chen?" Ji Liu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of the old man who was so attentive to her.

Lin Buregret also interjected from the side: "Yes, why don't we live in Old Chen's house?" Aren't you his grandson? ”

"Grandpa doesn't want to have anything to do with it." Sheng Li explained, although Chen Xian is his grandfather, as long as Chen Xian is the head of the Chen family one day, he will put the safety of the Chen family at the forefront one day.

The Chen family is well versed in the principle of self-preservation, which has continued to this day, coupled with the fact that the people of the Chen family are good at the way of business, they have been able to achieve the famous imperial merchants of the three dynasties.

Lin Buregret nodded in understanding after hearing this, and he diverted the topic back: "Ding Chen is now in the Criminal Prison Division, and Chen Qi personally gave him to Lord Xu, I believe that Lord Xu will definitely tell the emperor, hoping that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible." ”

"You've been guarding against it all the way, why don't you worry about this drunken adult?" Sheng Li and Lin Buregret seem to have a lot of trust in the Criminal Prison Division, and from their journey, Ji Liu has a deep shadow on the officials in the imperial court, at least as far as she has heard, none of them are good.

Sheng Li first glanced at Lin Buregret, Xuhuai had a special background, and he wasn't sure whether to say it for a while, until he saw Lin Buregret nodding, and then he explained to Ji Liu: "Lord Yu was originally a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, he was the younger brother of the prince of the previous dynasty, and the third son of the emperor of the previous dynasty. After the destruction of the Yu Kingdom, they did not massacre the royal bloodline, but gave the previous dynasties the opportunity to choose whether to surrender and leave, or not to surrender to the extermination. Lord Yu wanted to die to make his ambition clear, but he couldn't let go of his wife and children at home, so he took his family to give up everything and find a secluded place to live. ”

"Then why did he come back again? Still working for Jingguo? Isn't this tantamount to betraying one's kin? "Ji Liu never thought that there were still royal families of the previous dynasty holding important positions in the court today, and the emperor of Jingguo should say that he had a good heart? Or does he have other plans?

"Because he ......"

Sheng Li was just about to open his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Buregret: "Heh, because he is a strange person, Yuhuai has always thought that it doesn't matter what the royal family name is, what matters is how the people are doing." He found that today's saints appoint people on the basis of merit, make the best use of their talents, and their methods are also vigorous and resolute, and they will soon put the chaotic former dynasty in place. After the emperor came to power, many new laws were implemented, and the people slowly turned from abuse at the beginning to praise. In the previous dynasty, Yu Huai was in charge of punishment, and he always did things regardless of his identity, only the truth of the matter itself, because when the emperor established the Criminal Prison Department and couldn't find a suitable person for a long time, he thought of him. ”

Ji Liu was simply amazed, it was really admirable that Yu Huai was able to do her best to protect the people regardless of the enmity of her family and country, and bear everyone's incomprehension, she muttered for a long time, and then sighed in her mouth: "He is really a good person, admire and admire." ”

"Huh, good man?" Lin Buregret's face was ugly, he felt that this kind of person had lost his integrity, and it was not as real as his clear liking of power: "But it should really be admired, his wife's relatives died in battle when the previous dynasty was destroyed, so he didn't want him to assist the new emperor in doing things, and in the end, he ignored everyone's dissuasion to abandon his wife and children, and resolutely came to the capital, licking his face to do things for the emperor." ”

"Huh? What about his wife and children? If Lin Buregret hadn't said it, even Sheng Li wouldn't have thought that there would be such an old past in the middle, and he would even have always admired him for being open-minded and open-minded.

Lin Buregret lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, the warm taste was just right for drinking, and the room was quiet for a while before his voice sounded: "After Yuhuai stabilized, he arranged for people to return to his hometown and wanted to take his wife and children to come to the capital together, but he was rejected, and he didn't stop thinking until his wife and children moved out and there was no news, and he has never seen his wife and children again." ”

"And did he marry again?" Ji Liu hurriedly asked him if he remarried, she couldn't help but throw stones at the prison department.

Lin Buregret sneered and shook his head, "No." Xu thinks that he can't marry his wife and children again, anyway, in the end, the people's evaluation of him is that he is an iron man who is willing to give up his children's personal feelings for the sake of the country's righteousness. Hmph, it has fulfilled his ambition to serve the people wholeheartedly. ”

Seeing Lin Buregret turning the teacup while talking, she hesitated, rolled her eyelids, put her head close to him, and asked in a low voice, "You seem to hate him very much?" ”

As soon as she finished asking, Lin Buregret suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red and startled, only to hear him retort loudly: "Could it be that Miss Ji likes this kind of person?" "No matter how much he values power, his conscience is sometimes blackened, even if his wife was married by him, but Lin Buregret can guarantee that he will never abandon her at any time.

In his eyes, he can't stand the poor life at all, and gives up his relatives for power and money, this kind of person deserves to be lonely in his old age, so let him sleep in the cold cell of the prison department.

Ji Liu was stunned by his question, her eyes widened, and her mouth unconsciously said what she thought in her heart: "At least the people he gave up everything to protect for himself can't be in the same league as the people who exchanged gold sore medicine, what does it matter if I like it or not?" As long as Lord Yu is willing to ask for the people's life, wouldn't it be good to handle this case well?! ”

"It's also ......" Lin didn't speak again after repentance, he drank the tea one by one, and the teapot was lifted and put down many times by him, until the empty pot could no longer pour a drop of water, he stopped: "I'm going to rest." ”

Just when he was constantly suppressing the irritability in his heart, Sheng Li and Ji Liu made up their minds to go out, but seeing that he was so sad and embarrassed to leave, as soon as he spoke, he immediately got up and pulled Ji Liu to go out: "I'll go out to buy something with Miss Ji, Brother Lin will rest first." ”

As he spoke, he closed the door, Ji Liu and he walked away two steps, and asked, "Lord Lin can't have been abandoned by his family, right?" He seemed to be very sad. ”

Sheng Li took a deep look at the door in the distance, thinking that it was far more than that, but his mouth changed the topic at the right time: "Miss Ji, it's rare to come to the capital, and when Ding Chen's court is tried tomorrow, we won't have time, why don't we go out for a walk tonight, I heard that the capital market is very lively at night." ”

Ji Liu should be down, she went back to her room and stroked the three-ring silver bracelet on her wrist, which Chen Xian specially ordered someone to beat her, the old silver hair was dark, the surface was engraved with a flower pattern, the bracelet connection was made into a buckle, which could be manually cut open, and the middle was originally made into a hollow core, she found Li Yu's body cremated after escaping from the stone village, and now the bracelet is filled with Li Yu's ashes.

"Sister Yu, let's walk around the capital at night and see the legendary golden corridor and jade masonry prosperous."

Jiliu has never even been to the state capital, and the most prosperous boundary he has seen is Zhaofeng County. Sheng Li followed behind her, watching Ji Liu wear a coarse linen dress and walk through the silk and satin, looking calm and comfortable. The glittering light in his eyes was no less than the lights of thousands of homes hooked under the cornices, Sheng Li always knew that Ji Liu Chang was more beautiful than the young ladies of the family he had seen before, but he didn't expect that it was not inferior in the crowded capital.

She smiled like a flower, and walked nimbly in front of the crowd of vendors, the back of her head was simply curled up in a bun with a wooden hairpin swaying up and down with her movements, and the scattered strands of hair hung on both sides of her cheeks, smooth as silk, and there was a strong autumn under the flush of the lantern.

"This hairpin is very suitable for you, why don't you buy it?" Sheng Li followed her and stopped, and finally returned to the stall selling the girl's jewelry, and saw that her eyes were full of greed, so she couldn't help but suggest.

The corners of Ji Liu's mouth fell a few points in an instant, she hesitated to put down the tassel hairpin, and continued to laugh forcefully: "No, it's not in the field when I return to Lotus Village." Let's go. ”

Ji Liu turned around and was about to leave, and Sheng Li was about to follow, when suddenly the stall owner sneered: "If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you have been touching it for a long time." After speaking, he picked up the hairpin that Ji Liu had touched just now, took out the silk silk in his arms and wiped it carefully.

Obviously, Ji Liu also heard it, she paused at her feet, pursed her mouth and touched her money bag, all the way she brought out the silver money disappeared long after falling off the cliff, these on her body were still given to her by Chen Xiansai, and even the purse containing the money was fine embroidery.

In order to be able to follow the escort team, she already owes too much favor, and she doesn't want to pay it back. She wants to save some money for the money given by Chen Xian, and then give it to Sheng Li when she returns to Lotus Village.

The stall owner was right to laugh, Ji Liu didn't refute, she raised her feet and continued to leave, but heard Sheng Li arguing for her in the back: "How can Mr. talk like this?" Could it be that the things in your stall are forcibly bought and sold? ”

"I'm wearing tatters, and I've been dangling in front of Lao Tzu's stall for more than ten times, but I can't afford it, so what's it?"

The stall owner who sold hairpins was a man, dressed more ornate than Jiliu, at least not coarse linen clothes, and he shouted so that passers-by could hear it, and they gathered around to watch the excitement.

"Do you have to buy it back if you touch it? What's the difference between this and a robber? Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ji Liu's liking for that hairpin, Chen Xian gave her more money than she gave Sheng Li, and she must have her own considerations before she bought it.

If you don't buy it, it doesn't mean you can't afford it, you just don't need it.

The stall owner was also annoyed by him, coupled with the pointing and pointing of the people around him, he drove Sheng Li away with a cold face: "Get out, get out if you don't buy it, don't affect Lao Tzu's business, it's really unlucky." ”

The impatience in his expression made everyone bored to look at it, Sheng Li was angry, his brows behind the mask were furrowed, and he lowered his head to take off the purse around his waist and buy the hairpin for Ji Liu.

Seeing this, Ji Liu immediately stepped forward and held his hand, the hairpin was bought by Sheng Li, and the meaning was different, she still chose to remove the purse made of gold, silver, and white satin that she hid on her waist and blinded the stall owner's eyes.
