Chapter 51: The Family Feast
Hearing Xian's voice, the three members of the Li family turned their heads to look back at the same time, and sure enough, they saw Yin Zhongda and his wife walking in from outside the door, and Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.
Yin Zhongda smiled and waved his hand to let him get up, but Xian Shi said angrily: "You kid is also ruthless, you have been gone for three years, and you don't even know how to bring back a letter." We're all right, old guys, but we just have a little more in mind. It's only bitter for our family Xue'er, and I don't know how many tears I shed for you behind my back......"
Li Jing felt ashamed in his heart, and respectfully accepted the teaching, until the Xian family scolded so much that he stopped talking, then looked behind Yin Zhongda and his wife, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, where is Xue'er?"
"Xue'er is angry with you and refuses to come to see you!" Xian replied angrily.
But Yin Zhongda couldn't see it, pulled his wife's sleeve next to him, and said to Li Jing: "Jing'er Hugh wants to listen to your aunt's nonsense, Xue'er is also a big girl now, but she thinks about you in her heart, and she is embarrassed on her face." She is in my garden at the moment, and you yourself go to her for a while. Later, you will come here together, and we will have a meal here tonight, and everyone will have a good time. ”
Li Jing agreed, turned around and quit his parents, and went out a little eagerly.
Yin Zhongda looked at Li Jing's back, turned his head to Li Bingzhi and smiled: "Brother Xian, these two children are seventeen years old, should we plan their marriage?"
Li Bingzhi twisted his hair and smiled: "The younger brother also has this intention, it is better to wait for the New Year, when Jing'er and Xue'er reach the age of eighteen, and give them the marriage." ”
The two ladies saw that their master was getting happier and happier, so they let the two of them go indoors to talk, and they themselves went to the kitchen to take command and arrange tonight's feast.
Li Jing walked out of the courtyard gate, but did not go to the gate, but went around to his back garden. The Yin and Li families live next to each other, with only a wall in between, when Li Jing was young, he thought of the Yin Mansion, as long as he didn't have his father watching, he often relied on his kung fu to go directly over the wall. Now he was familiar with the way to the wall of his own garden, and jumped into the garden of the Yin Mansion with a slight leap.
Turning a bamboo pond and several rockeries, a familiar scene appeared in front of me: a small pond, the sun dyed a weeping willow by the pond into a brilliant gold, and a few cases were placed under the willows, and a girl sat in front of the desk, concentrating on writing a book.
"Xue'er!" Li Jing greeted softly.
The girl turned around, and there was no surprise on her elegant and beautiful face, only joy from the heart. She moved very naturally, washing the brush in the pond next to her, and resting it on the desk. This small pond, which is often used by girls to wash brushes, has turned dark black, and there is a faint fragrance of ink from a distance, and the girls' usual efforts in calligraphy can be imagined.
Looking at Yin Xueniang, who stood up from a few cases and walked towards herself, and had grown from a young girl in her impression to a slender girl, Li Jing was a little distracted, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Yin Xueniang walked in front of Li Jing, looked up slightly at him, who was already a whole head taller than herself, and called softly: "Brother Jing." ”
"I guess Xue'er is here to practice calligraphy. I haven't seen you for many days, but I want to see if your calligraphy has improved. Hearing this long-lost "Brother Jing", Li Jing's heart was swept away by the slight feeling of alienation due to the three years of separation, and naturally took Yin Xueniang's slender hand, and walked towards the pond with a smile.
Yin Xue Niangxiu's face was slightly red, but she let Li Jing hold her slender hand.
The two came to the pond, and Li Jing looked down at the manuscript that Yin Xueniang had just written on a few cases. At a glance, I couldn't help but be surprised: this white as snow square paper is densely lined with more than ten lines of text, but these words are not like the popular official script in the world in the shape of a flat square, but in the shape of a rectangular shape, the lines are delicate and peaceful, elegant and graceful, as if there is already a three-point regular script charm - this regular script herself has never taught her!
Yin Xueniang looked at Li Jing's surprised look, her face showed a slight look of pride, and she chuckled: "Brother Jing, this is a new font that Xue'er was occasionally inspired by when she practiced calligraphy recently, and was born from Lishu. Your talent Xue'er has known since she was a child, so how about a little comment?"
Li Jing's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he shouted ashamed in his heart: With his cultivation of Chinese culture in his previous life, he was barely an expert in calligraphy, but in the face of Yin Xueniang, who was tantamount to founding a sect in the field of calligraphy, how could he have any qualifications to comment? Fortunately, although his calligraphy cultivation is no longer as good as that of Yin Xueniang today, there are still a lot of calligraphy theories in his memory in his previous life. Don't say anything about it, but a "Yongzi Eight Laws" made Yin Xueniang listen to it beautifully, and her eyes were full of admiration that made Li Jing blush.
Seeing that Yin Xueniang had the momentum to get to the bottom of it, Li Jing, who was more and more empty-hearted, hurriedly changed the topic and talked about the two families gathering for a banquet tonight. Yin Xueniang, who has always been virtuous and gentle, immediately said that she would go over to help prepare, and the two went to the Li Mansion together.
With Yin Xueniang, who was polite and polite, staring, Li Jing naturally couldn't go over the wall anymore, so she could only honestly accompany her on the right path.
That night, the Li Mansion set up a sumptuous and never extravagant banquet in the flower hall, and the six members of the Yin and Li families sat around a table. Because it was a family banquet, although Fang Bi and Fang Xiang were Li Jing's apprentices, they did not attend. After the wine and food were served, Du Shi ordered the other servants to retreat, leaving only the two maids Xianglan and Ziyan, who had served Li Jing and Yin Xueniang since childhood, and were destined to be included in the room by Li Jing in the future, and let the two of them wait in the banquet.
Now these two little maids have also come out of the slim and slim, seeing Du Shi's arrangement, they all guessed the implicit meaning in their hearts, and they were shy and a little happy at the same time.
At the banquet, everyone asked about Li Jing's experience in the past three years. Li Jing naturally didn't talk about the dangers he encountered, but just picked up strange and interesting things and said them to make everyone happy. In the meantime, he also grabbed the three-legged golden toad that had slipped in alone and left the black flame horse very unjustifiably, and put it on the table to show it.
After selectively talking about his own affairs, Li Jing asked about Chaoge's situation. Yin Zhongda said that if it is peaceful today, the only major event in the past three years is that His Majesty officially canonized the third prince Yin Shou as the prince of the East Palace, and the remaining five teenagers who served in the palace back then have now also held positions in the East Palace, although they may not be Xuan He, but they are absolutely important, and they feel sorry for Li Jing.
Li Jing had his own plans in his heart for this matter, but it was not the time to say anything at the moment, so he said a few words about the side things to divert the topic.
Just when everyone was happy, a blue light flashed on Li Jing's chest, and a beautiful little girl of six or seven years old appeared out of thin air. She stretched out as if she had just woken up, and then looked around with her eyes still a little apprehensive. When he saw Li Jing, a happy smile appeared on his face, he ran to his side with his calves, opened his arms to hug Li Jing's arm, and called sweetly: "Daddy!"
Looking at the ** girl who had been summoned many times in the past few days without the slightest movement, but drilled out at this critical time, Li Jing increased his forehead with his hand, and smiled bitterly at the people who were staring at him: "I can explain this matter......
