Soul travels through the world of immortality

Chapter 499 Can’t go back to the mountain

With the Zhang family's case at hand, Li Mingshuo can't go back to the mountains to practice martial arts for the time being, so he has to stay at home with his parents.

Although Li Mingshu didn't want to stay at home, Li's father refused to agree to her going to the tea shop to help again. In the end, Li Mingshu compromised and agreed to stay at home. If she wanted to go out, she would have to take the maids and servants with her. She couldn't go alone.

Early the next morning, while Li Mingyu was washing up in her room, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the courtyard.

"Miss, something seems to have happened outside. Should we go out and take a look?" Maid Qing'er said.

"Well, let's go." Li Mingshu nodded and said, "By the way, you go ask your mother to have breakfast with you."

Not long after Qing'er left, Li's mother walked out of the house. Li Mingchao grabbed her with a smile and said, "Let's go, mother, we have had breakfast, why don't you go for a walk outside."

Seeing her daughter's happy expression, Mother Li smiled slightly and said, "Let Qing'er go out with you. I'd better not go." She followed her towards the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, breakfast had been prepared and a pot of tea was placed on the table. Mother Li invited Li Mingshu to sit down, poured a steaming cup of Biluochun for her personally, brought it to her, and said with a smile: "Tea in the morning. , the most nourishing to the spirit.”

Li Mingyu took the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip.

"How about it? How does the Biluochun I brought back the day before yesterday taste?" Mother Li looked at her daughter expectantly.

"Yes, it's as delicious as the tea I got from my master on the mountain." After Li Mingshu finished speaking, he added: "However, this Biluochun must cost a lot of money, so I'd better leave it to dad to drink."

Mother Li muttered: "Okay! Your father's love for you is not in vain!"

Meng Shijie had just returned from school that day and heard that his father was injured. He hurried to the hospital.

Fortunately, Meng's father only sprained his foot. The doctor applied plaster to his right bone and just let him rest.

"Dad, are your feet okay?" Meng Shijie asked anxiously.

"It's very good. The doctor said that I need to rest for a while. After the swelling subsides, I can continue to have sex." Meng's father said.

"It's good that everything is fine, and the child can rest assured. You can take care of him in the next few days. There is no room in the carriage, so I'll walk home." Meng Shijie said, and then asked his servant to drive Meng's father back in the carriage. Home.

At the jade shop, he happened to see Li Mingshu shopping with Qing'er. Meng Shijie was delighted and strode into the shop.

Li Mingshu turned to look at Meng Shijie and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, you are here. Why are you here to buy things too?"

Meng Shijie stood aside, looked at the jade hairpin in Li Mingchao's hand and said, "Sister, you have good taste. This hairpin suits you very well."

"Miss, this is good. Come and let me try it for you." Qing'er stepped forward and took the hairpin, inserting it into Li Mingchao's temples, making her complexion fairer.

Meng Shijie couldn't help but feel a little shy when he saw Li Mingyu's beauty, and looked at the jade pendant on the counter evasively.

"Sir, would you like to see the jade pendants? These are the new styles in our store, and they are perfect for a gentle and gentle master like you." The clerk quickly greeted Meng Shijie, thinking that these jade pendants are worth a lot of money, and he must let this man The young master bought it and continued: "Miss, do you think this jade pendant looks good on the young master?"

Li Mingshuo looked at the jade pendant, then looked at Meng Shijie beside him with a smile, and said, "Brother Meng, this jade pendant is really good. It complements your noble character. I think this piece of quality is of high quality, don't you think?"

Meng Shijie had no intention of looking at the jade pendant. He was thinking about how to say a few more words to Li Mingshuo. At this time, the waiter also took out the jade pendant pointed by Li Mingshuo and pushed it to Meng Shijie.

"Miss, you really have a good eye. This jade pendant is of the highest quality in this batch. Please take a look, sir."

Meng Shijie picked up the jade pendant and saw that its tentacles were indeed moist and white without a trace of impurities. It was chosen by Sister Sisi. He negotiated the price with the clerk and bought the jade pendant.

He and Li Mingchao finally met, but they couldn't miss this opportunity. They talked from the jade shop to home. Meng Shijie watched Li Mingchao enter the house, and then they met home with unfinished feelings.

One morning, as Meng Shijie was about to go to school, he suddenly remembered that today was his sixteenth birthday on the eighth day of July. With a faint smile on his face, he took out the jade pendant carved from white jade from his arms and put it on his neck. When Meng Shiqing saw his brother hanging a jade pendant, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but Meng Shijie slapped his palm away.

"No touching." He warned.

Meng Shiqing pursed his lips and looked at Meng Shijie aggrievedly. He knew that since his brother got this jade pendant, he no longer liked touching it. Every time he tried to touch it, he would be scolded by his brother. Li Mingshu helped Meng Shijie choose this jade pendant, and since then he has been wearing it every day and couldn't put it down.

"Mother, where did I put my jade pendant?" Meng Shijie ran to the hall and shouted.

Meng's mother heard her son calling her and hurried over, "What! Why can't I find the jade pendant?"

She ordered her maid to look around, thinking that this jade pendant was so precious to her son that she must find it.

When Meng Shijie saw his mother coming out of his brother's room, he pouted and was unhappy: "Shiqing, you shouldn't have taken my jade pendant. If you like it, my brother will give you another piece. Don't mess around. You should also say something when you take it away." .I would be angry if you joked like this."

"I'm sorry, brother, I just thought it looked good, so I couldn't help but touch it. I forgot to give it back to you." Meng Shiqing said and handed the jade pendant to Meng Shijie.

What a silly girl. After telling her son, Meng's mother turned around and walked to the kitchen. She had already asked the kitchen to cook something delicious and make up for her sons. She had to go and take a look.

"Brother, I heard in school yesterday that the old emperor was seriously ill and that big changes were going to happen in Beijing. I made an appointment with my classmates to go to town to confirm the matter." Meng Shiqing said while eating tender apricots.

"If it's true, I'm afraid there will be changes in next year's examination. Are you talking about Lu Chuan who just returned from Beijing?"

"That's him. Let's go to his uncle's house in the town together."

At this time Meng's mother came in and heard that her son was going out to the town, and said quickly.

"If you have an appointment, don't be late and let them take you away in a car."

Then Meng Mu raised her head and shouted outside the courtyard: "Hurry and prepare the car."

Meng Shiqing didn't eat breakfast either. Mother Meng gave her some food and hurriedly got into the car.

After leaving the house, Meng Shiqing asked his servant to drive the carriage to the Lu family.

Meng Shijie was eating breakfast and stroking the jade pendant in his hand. The more he looked at the dragon-shaped pattern carved on it, the more exquisite the carving became, and he stroked it carefully with his hand.

Mother Meng saw her son absentmindedly eating and said, "Let me tell you, it is impossible for our family to lose the jade pendant. It turned out to be a false alarm."

"Yes, mom is right." Meng Shijie responded casually.

Meng's mother noticed something strange about her son. He laughed and cursed and said: "You brat, why do you treasure this jade pendant so much? Are you hiding something from your mother?"

Meng Shijie chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Mother, please don't accuse me of hiding this from you."

Seeing that her son didn't want to talk, Meng's mother told her: "Son, since you have found the jade pendant, put it away quickly. Don't lose it. If you choose a girl in the future, you can give it to her as a token. If you lose it, you can give it to her." alright."

Meng Shijie was stunned when he heard Meng Mu's words. He immediately reacted and hurriedly hid the jade pendant in his sleeve pocket.

I picked this jade pendant, I can't throw it away. Meng Shijie thought of Li Mingyu and wanted to see her immediately. So after he had breakfast, he said to his mother: "Mom, I will go out first and come back to have dinner with you in the evening.

Mother Meng nodded and said, "Go quickly. Be careful on the road and don't delay."

When he arrived at Li Mingshu's house next door, Meng Shijie noticed someone coming out of the yard from a distance. He was excited and thought about what excuse he could use to find her. So, he knocked on the door openly and openly, and was invited in by the maid who opened the door. As expected, he saw Li Mingshu practicing his sword in the middle of the yard.

Li Mingchao heard the footsteps and looked up to see Meng Shijie. He was wearing a moon-white robe, which had obviously been carefully taken care of. A dark cyan belt was tied around his waist, making him cleaner and fresher. He was pinned to a silk ribbon. The jade pendant I selected for him made him even more literate and elegant.

When he walked into the yard, Li Mingyu stopped practicing his sword, turned around and looked at him, smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Meng, you are here, please sit down in the room? Xiaoqing, watch the tea."

Meng Shijie felt excited, finally having the opportunity to be alone with her.

Qing'er put down her sword sheath and said, "Miss, I'll be here soon."

Meng Shijie looked at Li Mingshu with tender eyes, "By the way, I have wanted to explain the case to you for a long time. I was delayed by something yesterday and I have nothing to do today, so I came here to tell you the news from the government.

"It turns out that at this time, you are willing to help inquire about this matter. Thank you so much, Brother Meng." Li Mingchao said happily.

"I think my sister also knows that I will be crowned in three years. Last time you met Su Mingjin, I have become closer to him in the past few years. Although Mr. Zhang's coma this time has nothing to do with us, it still has nothing to do with us. Thanks to this classmate, he guarantees that we will not go to court for this case, and whether the Zhang family is good or bad has nothing to do with us."

Li Mingshu, who was sitting in the seat, took a slow sip of tea, seemingly lost in thought, and did not reply to Meng Shijie's words.

But Meng Shijie's eyes slid over Li Mingyu's body carefully, unable to tell what she was thinking from her current face.

Feeling his gaze, Li Mingshu raised her head slightly, and her eyes met those deep and affectionate eyes.

The gown was soaked with fine sweat and stuck to her skin. The aqua blue belt was tied around her waist. Her face was as cold as snow, like a fairy who was not stained by dust, fresh and refined with a touch of elegance.

Meng Shijie looked a little crazy. Without the makeup, she might have been a natural beauty. Li Mingshuo was a little embarrassed by his gaze. Qing'er came in to serve tea and broke the silence here.

Seeing that Li Mingshu remained silent for a long time, Meng Shijie was a little at a loss: "Sister, I am also responsible for this matter. As for the follow-up matters, it will be taken care of by me. I hope my sister will not worry too much."

Qing'er on the side brought up a box of pastries. Li Mingshuo took a look and sighed in his heart. This silly girl, although the cakes were carefully made in the kitchen this morning, only girls like to eat this kind of tea, and I am afraid that men will not touch it.

Li Mingshuo looked at Qing'er for a moment, then motioned for her to take the pastries away and bring some fruits in exchange.

Although Qing'er has served at home for two years, he is still smart, but he is not very sophisticated, and he even does things without turning around.

Li Mingshuo kept giving hints, but finally had to give the order directly, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

It seems that Qing'er still needs to be trained a little more. How can he be like an elm tree and have to personally give orders for changing fruits?

Sensing her gaze, Qing'er's heart trembled. The anger and flash of contempt in Li Mingchao's eyes hit her hard.

She is well aware of her young lady's temper, is considerate and attaches great importance to hospitality.

Meng Shijie suddenly laughed, caressed the jade pendant, and continued to greet Li Mingchao: "Don't put it away. I just think the style of this pastry is good. I will try it later. Miss Qing'er is really thoughtful."

Meng Shijie was handsome, but often cold, and suddenly his smile became more masculine, which made Li Mingshu a little stunned for a moment.

Qing'er's face was filled with tears of gratitude. Who doesn't know that a maid always has to look at her master's face? Although she didn't take away the cakes, she went down and brought some fruits.

Seeing Qing'er bringing the fruit, Meng Shijie breathed a sigh of relief.

It was nearly noon when Meng Shijie left Li's house, and he just left with satisfaction.

Recalling the content of his chat with his sister, he kept smiling as he walked into the house.

"Mother, I'm here, mother." Meng Shijie saw Meng's mother from a distance and shouted loudly.

"Well, Shijie, you're back so early. Seeing how happy you are, tell mother if you have anything." Meng's mother responded with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just went next door and talked about the Zhang family's case." Meng Shijie said with a smile.

"Are the Li family members at home?" Mother Meng asked.

"The old couple went to the tea shop together to take care of business."

Her girl was at home, and her son didn't come back until noon. Mother Meng looked at her son's cheerful expression. Even a fool could have guessed something. Not to mention her son's usually serious and academic face. It seemed that she had a chance to have a grandson. , Meng’s mother also laughed. This distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If this marriage can come true, that would be great.

"I haven't been busy with school these days. When you come back, you and your mother will go for a walk on the street and buy some cloth, tea, and stuff."

"Well, Mom, I still want to read. You'd better take your brothers." Meng Shijie returned to his academic look after a while. Mother Meng sighed, raised her hand, and asked her son to go back to his room to read.

In three years, the eldest son will be a child, so it would be better to decide on his marriage early. The girl next to me remembers that she is just over ten years old, and there are still a few years before she is a child. If it can be settled, it will be almost done when the son is a child. Thinking about this, Meng's mother was very happy to get them married. When the master came back, she would tell him about it immediately.
