Chapter 110: Meeting unexpectedly

Today is the second day after Lian'er and the others came to their new home. There are so many things to deal with. The whole family has been busy since the morning. The housekeeper Zhang Wang led a group of family members to yell in the yard, clearing up the dust, removing dead grass, and changing the yellow window paper. Song Mei's three children snatched Lao Yu's hat and ran across the yard like a gust of wind. Their mother was in the kitchen to arrange supper for the whole house, and several healthy women were helping with the inside and outside.

In front of the window, the curtain had just put down the pen and gently blew the ink on the paper, "Xiaoyu, come and see what else do you need to add to your home?"

After a long time, I didn't hear Xiaoyu's response. Jian'er turned around, but saw Xiaoyu leaning listlessly against the head of the bed, throwing two balls of string, one high and one low. Seeing Jian'er turning around, Xiaoyu simply lay down and turned around and didn't say anything.

"What, are you sick?"

Jian'er put down the list and stepped forward to touch her forehead. Everything was normal. He then pinched her hand and showed no sign of illness. Xiaoyu seemed to be a rag doll, hanging her eyes and let her fiddle with her, but she didn't say a word.

Lian'er smiled and poked her forehead with his fingers, "You! You are a little bitch, don't worry! You won't marry you out, how can you bear it? I will be your sister in the future, but you are going to work now."

As if I woke up from a big dream, Xiaoyu suddenly jumped out of the bed and smiled and said, "Where am I sick!"

She picked up the list with great energy, glanced up and down twice, and shouted loudly, "What I said! You still forgot to write that set of silver tableware."

At this time, the door knocked gently, and Zhang Wang's voice came from outside, "Miss, an old man came to visit outside the door and said he was his friend."

"I'll go and take a look."

Lian'er handed the list to Xiaoyu, "Look at what else is missing, add it yourself."

Yan'er tidied up his clothes and walked out the door quickly. He saw a middle-aged man with a clear face at the gate. He was paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and visited the mansion from time to time. When he saw her coming out, his eyes were filled with nervous expressions. Yan'er

He stepped forward and smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. My young master went out for dinner. Uncle invited me to sit in the house."

The person who came was Cui Qiao. He didn't ask Li Qing any results in the morning. He was still unwilling to give up and came to find Li Qing again, but he happened to meet Yan'er. There was no need to ask anything else. Cui Qiao recognized him at a glance. The little baby who was abandoned seventeen years ago was standing in front of him. Her eyebrows and eyes looked very much like her, but her mouth, nose, and expression were exactly the same as her mother back then.

'This is the flesh and blood of myself and Fei Xiu', Cui Qiao said silently in his heart. He felt his eyes sore and barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, I'll sit down and leave."

The young master was not here, and he was just polite. He actually thought it was true. He really wanted to come in and sit down. Yan'er had to let him into the living room and ordered the little maid to have tea. He smiled and said, "Is the uncle the young master's friend?"

"Yes! I am also an official in the court."

Cui Qiao's excitement had calmed down. He smiled and said, "I also have a daughter, the girl I met outside the door at noon yesterday. Her name is Liuliu. She likes you very much, but today she is sick. When she heard that I was coming to find Brother Li, she asked me to ask the lady's name."

I heard that he was the father of the girl yesterday, Lian'er felt a little fond of him and smiled and said, "My name is Lian'er, and I like her very much. Please tell her that I hope her illness will get better soon and I can sit here often."

"Liang'er?" Cui Qiao thought it secretly twice in her heart, and then smiled: "She is a wild girl. If she can be with you forever, she may be able to change her temperament. Alas! She always makes me worry. If she is half as sensible as you, that would be great."

When Lian'er saw him mentioning his daughter, she showed a faint warmth in her words. When she remembered her life experience, she couldn't help feeling sad, "She has a good father like you, because she is lucky, but my biological parents threw me away when I was a baby."

Cui Qiao was silent and said for a while: "Maybe they have some difficulties, so they have to do it."

Yan'er nodded, "Maybe! But it doesn't matter to me whether there are any difficulties. I just hope they can live a better life and be happier."

When Cui Qiao saw that his daughter was living a peaceful and happy life, he felt relieved and stood up and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm going back for disturbing you for so long."

"Don't you stay for supper?"

"No, my family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner!"

When he walked to the door, Cui Qiao stared at Yan'er's smile and said, "People say that your daughter follows her mother's sex. You are gentle and virtuous. I think your mother must be a gentle and virtuous woman."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away, but his eyes gradually turned red.

The curtain watched him leave, but was aroused by his last words. She sighed and looked up at the fire-like sunset in the air. The red clouds seemed to be a woman's charming face. She took out the jade from under her neck, held it in her hand and gently stroked it. She silently said in her heart: "This must be what she gave me. She should be the gentlest and most beautiful woman in the world, but where is she now? Mother!"

The sun gradually set off the mountain, and the night banquet at the Sining Prince's Mansion came to an end. At the banquet, only Li Lin and Li Zhao and his son were with him, but Li Jingyan did not show up. Li Qing had never seen her since the afternoon. Li Lin only said that she was sick and needed to take care of her. Li Huqin was not there either. He would not eat nine out of ten meals at home. Without his twitch noise, this meal was really boring.

The three of them had just entered the seat, but the concierge stumbled and ran away and reported: "Prince, Li Xiangguo is here."

It seemed as if it was the first cold wind in early winter, and the harmonious atmosphere on the table was swept away, and it became a bit solemn. The three of them looked at each other, as if they saw ghosts in broad daylight. No matter what, Li Linfu shouldn't have appeared here and there.

"Come on your behalf!"

Li Lin jumped up from the mat and was about to rush towards the door, but Li Qing grabbed him and whispered: "Remember! Just talk about the wind and the moon."

Li Lin was stunned, understood what he meant, and nodded. At this time, Li Linfu's hearty laughter had already come from the door, "Li Zongzheng, congratulations!"

As the sound came, a slightly pale face appeared under the light. He had a fat and long nose with a kind smile and his upper and lower eyelids were swollen, making his slender eyes always squint and his eyes could not be seen.

Li Lin greeted him and laughed: "Spark!Spark! Which gust of wind blows Li Xiang?"

Li Linfu bowed and said, "Of course, come for the happy event."

He looked at Li Lin up and down, suddenly punched him in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What a great King Si Ning, I made a fortune in silence, and I also took away Zongzheng Temple's Queen without saying a word. Even I was wrong."

"This is the grace of the emperor. I don't have the qualifications. Come! Come! Come!"

Li Lin grabbed Li Linfu's hand and said, "It happened to be the seat. I will punish you three cups first. It seems that my place is a snake cave and scorpion nest. The prime minister has only come to the despise mansion today."

"The Sining Prince's Mansion is a famous treasure cave. Why don't I want to come? There are only three reasons. The first reason is that I am afraid that I can't walk when I see the silver."

Li Zhao went forward and bowed respectfully and said: "Li Zhao, a bachelor of Hongwenguan, met the Prime Minister."

"Well! There is no need for this. It's not time to go to court. Isn't it better to be casual?" Li Linfu pointed at Li Zhao and smiled, "Your family has this uncomfortable eldest son, which is the second reason why I dare not come."

"What about the third reason?" Li Qing smiled and interrogated.

Li Linfu turned to look at Li Qing and smiled and said, "This little brother seems to be familiar, and he seems to have seen him somewhere."

Li Qing said intimately: "You have someone to drive me out of the imperial city with a stick, of course I have seen it." But he said modestly: "The Prime Minister is troublesome, and he has a face that is ten thousand people. Everyone who sees me will be familiar with me."

"Maybe!" Li Linfu just thought he was Li Lin's nephew and didn't take it to heart, so he smiled and said to him: "The third reason for me is that you young people don't want to listen to. Princess Leng's famous Four Biography. I'm afraid that if I come, I will forget to propose marriage. My son will not let me in when I go home."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Li Lin, and they all burst into laughter.

Seeing that he was good at speaking, Li Qing controlled the situation as soon as he entered the door, and secretly admired him. He stood aside, just smiling without saying a word.

Li Linfu took two steps and seemed to remember something. He looked at Li Qing carefully, then suddenly stepped forward, held his hand apologetically and smiled: "I'm sorry that day, I didn't know that my little brother was the guest of King Sining."

Li Qing knew that he finally remembered himself and laughed: "What does the prime minister say? The prime minister is the leader of all officials. It is also necessary to scold a small official who does not abide by the rules."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I haven't seen you before. I don't know where you are an official? What is your position to be appointed? And what is your name."

The soft words make people feel like spring breeze. Li Linfu is known as a sweet-mouthed sword. This is not a false reputation. There are countless people who hate him like bones, but there are many people who like him, especially middle and lower-level officials. He always has a smile on his face. Even a ninth-rank official, he will be very caring and not pretending to be arrogant when he meets him. He hears that Li Qing is also an official, the apology on Li Linfu's face gradually began to disappear, and he changed into his signature smiley face to win over people.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "In the next prince's wife, his surname is Li and his name is Qing. The Prime Minister should have an impression of me!"

Even though Li Linfu was hidden deep, he still shook his hand holding Li Qing. His swollen eyelids suddenly became thinner and a sharp cold light shot out, which made Li Zhao beside him feel a chill in his heart. It was the first time he saw Li Linfu's gaze.

But this gaze only existed for a moment, and Li Linfu immediately returned to normal. He looked up and down at the young man who had ruined his strength. Seeing his calm expression, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he was not astonished as a normal low-ranking official when he first saw him, nor did he bow down. Li Linfu thought to himself, "This person knows who I am, and is still so careless and courageous. No wonder he can beat the Hai family and be beaten up in shame. No wonder he can get praise from the emperor. It seems that it is not all the favors of Princess Yuzhen, so he should not be underestimated."

He nodded and smiled kindly: "It turns out that you are Li Qing who was praised by the Emperor's golden mouth on Yuan Ye. How come I have no impression of it? I wanted to see you for a long time, but I just haven't had time."

"The Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of things every day. Li Qing did not go to pay a visit because he was afraid of disturbing the Prime Minister. He was ashamed!"

At this time, Li Lin came over and interrupted their conversation, "I am the master. If you neglect me again, I will be angry."

Li Linfu laughed, "Not only came out abruptly, but also took the lead. It's really not good. The prince calms down and I'll follow your arrangements."

"That's great," Li Lin waved her hand and said to Li Linfu with a smile: "Li Xiang please sit in the chief!"

Li Linfu was really not polite, so he sat down cross-legged and pulled Li Qing to his side, "Li Sheren is just sitting next to me, let's talk."

Li Linfu did not have any special purpose when he came to Li Lin's mansion. This afternoon, Li Longji suddenly told him that he was going to use Li Lin as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, which surprised him. Later, he also realized Li Longji's intention. Li Longji did not need to speak. He naturally understood and helped Li Lin get out of the prince for the emperor. However, he also knew that this kind of thing was not urgent. He needed to win over his feelings first and then slowly induce him to rebel against Li Lin, so as to achieve his goal. Today is just the first step, and he came to visit Li Lin in the name of congratulations.

All kinds of delicacies came up like flowing water. Many dishes were removed after only a few chopsticks. They were replaced with new ones. Soon, everyone had five or six glasses of wine. They started to talk more. Li Linfu was talking very well, and all kinds of romantic and strange stories, and he could talk about the past and the present. He spoke with relish and always led the topic. At this time, Li Qing raised a glass of wine and said respectfully: "I have heard that the prime minister has taken care of his younger generations for a long time. I have a lot of support for me. Today, I have this opportunity. Li Qing wants to dare to ask the prime minister and ask the prime minister to show me a way."

Li Qing was chased by Li Linfu when he arrived at the court. At this moment, the two of them drank together and asked for advice on being an official. The words seemed absurd, but this was Li Qing's sleekness. From Li Longji's words to Li Lin, he could tell from Li Longji that Li Longji hoped that he would not get too close to the prince. This was not only Li Longji's suspicion of the prince, but also the meaning of protecting himself. Li Longji naturally refers to Li Linfu. He is just a sixth-rank official. If Li Linfu really wants to deal with him, it would be easy, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to try to eliminate Li Linfu's suspicion of him, at least on the surface, he had to accept Li Linfu's suspicion.

The reason why Li Linfu did not attack Li Qing was because he was afraid of the situation. He also heard that Yang Yuhuan's sister had a different relationship with Li Qing, so he vaguely guessed that Li Longji valued this person, which might be related to Yang Yuhuan. He knew that Yang Yuhuan's future. If he offended Yang Yuhuan, even if he did ten major things for Li Longji, it would not be as bad as Li Longji's words heard by his pillow. Weighing the pros and cons, Li Qing would not move for the time being. In Li Linfu's opinion, if it cannot be eliminated, it would have to win over. It would be best if he could pull it over. If he could not pull it up, he would have to make Li Qing not get good fruits from the prince. Li Heng is a man of mercy and rude. As long as Li Qing accepts his kindness in public, how could the prince spare him and kill people with a knife? This is what Li Linfu is good at.

Li Linfu smiled and received a cup of toast by Li Qing, and happily taught this junior: "The way to be an official is to be qualified first. Qualification does not come out of thin air, but depends on your accumulation in the local area. Although you are a sesame official like a chief clerk, this is your first foundation. Many prime ministers start with the chief clerk. Although the local hardship is pure, they are prone to political achievements. It's a pity that you are eager for quick success and instant benefits, enter the court too early and lose your foundation. If you listen to my advice, it's better to go to the local area to be an official."
