Chapter 27 The correct posture for growing flowers
Everyone must have made mistakes more or less when they were young, and what they fear most after making mistakes is not to face the storm directly, but to face the calm before the storm.
Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, who were still hesitating at first, knew they couldn't escape when they heard Li Jincheng's familiar voice, so they had no choice but to walk through the yard and into the main room.
Before meeting Li Jincheng, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin were very confused, worried that Li Jincheng would be angry, and racked their brains to come up with an explanation, but when they saw the pale and sickly Li Jincheng sitting on the top, Lin Shiyin's tears seemed to have stopped in an instant thread beads, and Li Xun Huan also choked up with red eyes.
Although Li Jincheng treated them strictly, he also brought them up single-handedly. Father and brother are like fathers. When the news of Li Jincheng's death came, the two of them fell into grief for nearly a year, and they thought they would never be together again in this life. The people they met actually appeared in front of them again alive, and the turmoil of love and love seemed no longer so important.
"It's great, brother, you're still alive."
Facing the younger brother who was crying in his words, Li Jincheng sighed.
After all, it was the children who had been seeing the grown-ups since they were young, and they had avoided seeing them for many years because they missed them. Seeing Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin both shed tears, Li Jincheng also felt sad for a moment.
Back then, he was working abroad, and his health became worse and worse due to his busy schedule. Later, he asked the emperor for his illness and resigned. Unexpectedly, he contracted severe tuberculosis on the way home. However, on the way home, he met a The strange doctor, the strange doctor said that he could try to cure him, but he may not be able to cure him, and the treatment time may be extremely long. He has always been impatient with the patient's family members, so he stipulated that his patient should be suspended animation. Then he was willing to heal him.
At that time, he thought that his younger brother was already an adult and had also been admitted to Tanhua to serve in the imperial court. He must have been able to support the family. Although he was not married yet, he and his little cousin Shiyin were childhood sweethearts. He didn't need to handle the marriage, so he agreed to the strange doctor's request, left Li Yuan after feigning death, and went to the valley where the strange doctor lived in seclusion to receive treatment.
This treatment lasted for five years, until the end of the strange doctor's time was approaching. Before Xian went, he told Li Jincheng that he hadn't found a way to completely cure him these years, but at least he kept the vitality in his heart alive. Rehabilitation, but you can persist for a year or so, maybe you will encounter a chance to heal yourself.
Li Jincheng thinks that opportunities are hard to find. He has lived for five years longer, and he is quite satisfied. After burying the strange doctor, he doesn't want to go back to Li Garden. Li Jincheng, who made his family sad again, originally planned to stay in the valley where the strange doctor lived in seclusion. the rest of my life.
But not long ago, when Li Shan was out shopping, he heard some people from all over the world talk about Xiao Li Tanhua's "love affair", and he accidentally said it when he came back. Resolutely left the recuperation place and returned to Li Garden.
And his illness became more and more serious after leaving the valley. If it wasn't for meeting Mengmeng this time, he might have died on the way.
After clarifying the truth about the fake death that year, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin turned their attention to Meng Meng who had been sitting on Li Jincheng's lower chair.
"Ms. Mengmeng's kindness for saving my brother's life is greatly appreciated by everyone in the Li family." Li Xunhuan bowed his hands to Mengmeng and thanked him.
But as Li Jincheng said, although he is still alive now, if he can't be cured, he won't live for long. At this time, Li Xunhuan thought of the news he had heard about Mengmeng before.
Although Mengmeng is well-known in the Jianghu, everyone pays more attention to her music than her medical skills. Among all kinds of rumors about her miraculous skills, Mengmeng has easily solved the "Yan Wang Enemy" Doctor Xue thought that the matter of poison was troublesome, but he briefly mentioned it. Some people said that Mengmeng is the descendant of a hermit expert, and it is not uncommon for him to carry a magic medicine that can detoxify.
But when Li Shan told about the dangers on the road today, and Mengmeng's first aid skills, Li Xunhuan understood that Mengmeng is absolutely superb in medicine.
Maybe she will be able to cure the eldest brother.
Thinking of this, Li Xun Huan bowed deeply to Meng Meng.
"What are you two doing?" Mengmeng's surprised voice sounded, and Li Xunhuan realized that Lin Shiyin bent down and bowed to Mengmeng with him.
"Shiyin knows that she is not qualified to ask Mengmeng girl to do anything, but the eldest cousin took care of Shiyin when she grew up. He is both a brother and a father. Shiyin really can't bear the blow of losing him again, so I implore Miss Mengmeng to save big cousin, as long as you promise, Shiyin will do anything."
Shiyin suppressed crying. At this time, she was completely different from the state of a pool of stagnant water before. Although the pear blossoms were raining, the light in her eyes was astonishing, as if seeing land in the vast sea, with hope as a driving force.
Li Xunhuan didn't notice Lin Shiyin's change at this time, and just echoed Lin Shiyin's words without hesitation. "It's the same below, as long as Miss Mengmeng is willing to take action to heal elder brother, I am willing to be sent by the girl."
Before Mengmeng could answer, Li Jincheng yelled. "Nonsense! Are you threatening my savior? Kneel down!"
Because he didn't control the volume, Li Jincheng covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin subconsciously wanted to get closer, but Li Jincheng swung him away. In order to calm him down, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin knelt down obediently in front of Li Jincheng.
Fortunately, Mengmeng's medicine worked, Li Jincheng's cough was not serious, and it stopped soon.
"You don't need to care about my illness. I'm coming back this time to see what you have done to shame your ancestors."
Li Jincheng's eyes turned back and forth on the kneeling Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, and finally decided to deal with Li Xunhuan's serious situation first.
"Xun Huan, I heard that you have been lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in recent months, is there such a thing?"
This is a fact known to all Baoding and even the whole Jianghu, Li Xunhuan replied irrefutably. "yes."
"Then do you still remember what the third rule of the Li family's family motto is?"
Although it has been a long time since I read the family training, Li Xun Huan, who has memorized it countless times since childhood, has long engraved it in his heart, replied without a single pause. "Quietness can be used to cultivate one's morality, restraint can be used to cultivate one's virtue, lasciviousness can't stimulate one's energy, and dryness can't cure one's nature."
Hearing Li Xunhuan proficiently recite the monk's instructions, Li Jincheng's expression not only did not soften, but became more serious. "I don't mind your resignation. After all, everyone has their own aspirations. If your aspirations are not here, no one can force you. However, our Li family has passed on for a hundred years. Which child does not abide by the behavior of a gentleman? Look at what you have done , as the head of the family, when you linger in the place of fireworks, you can think of the century-old reputation of our Li family!"
Li Xunhuan was shocked by Li Jincheng's drink and suddenly realized how inappropriate what he had done to make Lin Shiyin disappointed in him.
But the matter has come to this point, although Li Xun Huan regrets it, he also knows that he has nothing to excuse.
"Little brother knows that he has made a big mistake, so he is willing to be punished."
"Big cousin." Lin Shiyin spoke suddenly. "This matter all started because of Shiyin. The reason why the second cousin did this was to make Shiyin give up. When it comes to Shiyin, it is hard to escape the blame."
Li Jincheng looked at Lin Shiyin who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and felt pain in his heart, so he could only sigh and ask. "What's wrong with you?"
"The fault is that Shiyin is pretending to be confused. He knows that his second cousin intends to give up, but he still tries to persevere. If Shiyin had a little wink and followed his second cousin's wishes, he would not ruin his reputation."
"Shiyin!" Hearing Lin Shiyin say this, Li Xunhuan's heart ached, but Lin Shiyin didn't seem to hear him calling her, she still knelt with her back straight and her eyes fixed on her knees.
"You are at fault." Li Jincheng nodded. "But there's nothing wrong with that."
"Do you remember who your father is?"
Of course, Lin Shiyin remembered that her father was the current Grand Tutor in the blurred memory when she was young, he was the first-rank servant of the dynasty, highly respected by literati and officials, Master Lin with the posthumous title of Wenzheng.
"As his only daughter, you should keep the name of the Lin family well and pass on the glory of the Lin family. Although there are no elders, you must know that your marriage is not decided by your petty temper."
Because the Li family and the Lin family are brothers-in-law, Master Li also respected Master Lin very much. After Master Lin and Mrs. Lin passed away, he brought Lin Shiyin to Li Garden to be raised. It's done, at least one of the children born must have the same surname as Lin Shiyin. If there is any accident in the marriage of the two children in the future, they will recruit a good-behaved son-in-law for Lin Shiyin.
At that time, Li Jincheng felt that his father was worrying too much. The younger brother and his cousin had always been very close. Their marriage was almost a certainty, so how could there be any accidents?
Thinking about it now, maybe Master Li could see it clearly, and his words became a prophecy.
Lin Shiyin was so ashamed by Li Jincheng's words that she lowered her head.
She agreed to marry Long Xiaoyun impulsively at the beginning, and regretted it afterwards, but to Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan who were happily talking about drinking to celebrate, Lin Shiyin couldn't say anything about regretting it.
Of course, Li Jincheng understood the child he brought up. Looking at Lin Shiyin's appearance, he knew that she had already regretted it, but she refused to break the contract because of her face.
"I have made arrangements for your marriage. I will immediately cancel the engagement with Long Xiaoyun. People in Li Yuan are not allowed to mention this matter again."
"But Brother Long..." Hearing that Li Jincheng refused to let Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun get married, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but refute, but was interrupted by Li Jincheng before he finished speaking.
"Li Xunhuan, since you have canceled your engagement with Shiyin, as the second cousin, while I'm still alive, it's not your turn to comment on her marriage."
Li Xunhuan was silenced by Li Jincheng's words, but Lin Shiyin hesitated to speak.
"But big cousin, if people find out about our sudden divorce, it may affect the Li family's reputation."
"People from the Li family will definitely not break their mouths outside, and as long as Long Xiaoyun cares about you as much as he said, he will not reveal this matter to the outside world. Besides, the current Li family has already lost face. It doesn't matter if someone tells you you've turned back."
As Li Jincheng said, his gaze stabbed Li Xunhuan like a sharp sword.
"Shiyin, you have nothing to do here for the time being. For this mistake, you will be fined to go back and copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, and you will be confined for ten days. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the yard, and you are not allowed to meet outsiders."
Hearing Li Jincheng's words, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although she was punished, her mood became extremely relaxed at this time.
After Lin Shiyin obediently left, Li Xunhuan was the only one kneeling in the hall.
Before the punishment came out, Li Xunhuan was very disturbed, especially after Lin Shiyin left, Li Jincheng did not immediately say the punishment for Li Xunhuan, but fell into silence, as if he was thinking about how to punish him.
When Li Xun Huan's cold sweat was about to drop to the ground along his brow bone, Li Jincheng finally spoke.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for a night, and think carefully about what you have done."
Hearing that the punishment was so easy, Li Xun Huan couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions now. After standing up from the ground, he hurriedly went to the ancestral hall and knelt down.
Seeing that both of them had left, Li Jincheng sighed and rubbed his Qingming acupoint.
"The siblings in the family are ignorant, which made Mengmeng laugh at her."
Meng Meng, who sat by and watched Li Jincheng's handling of Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, looked at Li Jincheng's helpless expression, shook her head and did not answer.
"Li Shan, send Mengmeng girl to the guest room, it's a long journey, take a good rest today."
Seeing Li Shan coming over to lead her, Mengmeng stood up and waved her hand to say no.
"I just left Li Yuan today. I still remember the road very well. I don't need to lead the way, but I hope you can try to solve the matter as much as possible today, so that all the anger that should be angry and the anger that should be vented will be vented and vented in one breath. This will not delay my treatment for you tomorrow."
Mengmeng's words made Li Shan excited. "Miss Mengmeng means that you can cure our young master?"
"Of course it can be cured. If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't say that."
Hearing what Mengmeng said, neither Li Shan nor Li Jincheng questioned her, and both felt that she did have such abilities.
"Thank you, Miss Mengmeng, for being willing to take care of me." Li Jincheng stood up and thanked Mengmeng.
After receiving Li Jincheng's gift, Mengmeng continued. "Life is precious. If you can save it, of course you have to save it. Besides, if you die, I'm afraid this family will be completely broken up, so it's better for you to live well."
·
Long Xiaoyun took a jar of wine and was going to find his good brother to have a good drink, but just when he entered Li Xunhuan's yard, Long Xiaoyun found that Li Xunhuan was not there, and there was a very ugly young man sitting in the yard.
Seeing how respectful Li Steward was to the young master, Long Xiaoyun knew that this person was not a simple person, and seeing that he and Li Xunhuan had a three-point similar appearance, Long Xiaoyun guessed that this person might be a relative of the Li family.
I heard from Li Xun Huan that the Li family has not had much contact with relatives in recent years, so this young master is probably not a good person coming here at this time.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyun was on guard in his heart, but the hearty smile on his face remained unchanged. He went up to greet Steward Li, first asked where Li Xunhuan was going, and then asked the identity of the stranger.
"Mr. Long, this is the eldest son of my family. He is the elder brother of the second son. He is also the current head of Li Yuan." Li Butler answered Long Xiaoyun with a smile. He and Li Xunhuan were sued in front of him.
"You are Long Xiaoyun?" Li Jincheng sized Long Xiaoyun up with extremely sharp eyes.
This gaze was too sharp, as if someone had seen through Long Xiaoyun's heart, he felt very uncomfortable.
"This is Long Xiaoyun, who has met Mr. Li." After Long Xiaoyun greeted him, there was a puzzled look on his face. "Young Master, don't blame me for talking too much, but I have heard Brother Li say that his brother died of illness five years ago..."
"Forgive me, Mr. Long, this matter is a long story, and it is not convenient for outsiders to explain."
Li Jincheng didn't mean to explain. Originally, he wanted to see Long Xiaoyun in a while, but since he delivered it to the door himself, it saved him an extra trip.
"I heard that my little cousin Shiyin agreed to Mr. Long's marriage proposal yesterday?"
"Exactly, after Shiyin and I get married, I have to call the eldest son uncle." Long Xiaoyun smiled and cupped his hands to Li Jincheng.
"Mr. Long said this a bit early. Let me ask you, have you and Shiyin exchanged Geng Tie, have you passed the three books and six rituals?"
Long Xiaoyun's heart trembled, he thought that the sudden appearance of the eldest son was really for his marriage with Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin only agreed to him yesterday, and today she was so happy that she didn't have time to prepare anything. Besides, he was from the Jianghu, and basically knew nothing about weddings. If it wasn't for Li Jincheng's mention, he wouldn't have thought of it, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Not yet."
"Then this marriage is not counted." Li Jincheng's light words broke Long Xiaoyun's dream, how could he agree to it.
"Shiyin and I are in love with each other, and Shiyin personally agreed to the marriage, why did the eldest son stop it?!"
"Shiyin grew up in Li Yuan. She was spoiled too much by me and her second cousin, so she acted impulsively. This marriage is neither the words of the parents nor the order of the matchmaker. It is just a joke of the youngest daughter's family. Can it count?"
Li Jincheng casually described Long Xiaoyun's long-awaited marriage contract as a little daughter's joke. Long Xiaoyun could hardly suppress his anger, but he was only thinking about the identity of the other party, so he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only try to defend himself.
"Shiyin's parents are gone, of course she can make her own decisions."
"Her parents are gone, but my father left a will before he passed away, asking me to find a son-in-law with a clean family background, good conduct, and knowledgeable knowledge to be her son-in-law, and to continue the incense of the Lin family. This is the order of my parents. "
Li Jincheng glanced at Long Xiaoyun and said. "I don't know how Mr. Long's family background is? How many books have you read? Do you have any fame?"
Long Xiaoyun was born in Jianghu, and he worked his way up from the bottom. He didn't have any family background, let alone any fame, and his face was reddened by Li Jincheng's words for a while.
"Don't worry, Mr. Long. This time, it was my younger sister's rudeness. We will compensate Mr. Long. I hope Mr. Long doesn't take this matter to heart." Li Jincheng glanced at the butler, who took out a stack of bank notes and handed it to him very politely. In front of Long Xiaoyun.
Long Xiaoyun stared at the banknote in front of him as if he had some deep hatred, and didn't reach out to take it. When Butler Li wanted to put the banknote into Long Xiaoyun's arms, Long Xiaoyun roared and poured out the wine in his hand. The jar fell to the ground and went straight away.
He wanted to talk to Li Xunhuan, but Li Yuan didn't mention Li Xunhuan's whereabouts, so Long Xiaoyun had no choice but to go back to his place first.
He thought that Li Xun Huan was actually opposed to this marriage in his heart, so he avoided seeing him on purpose.But just after dawn, when Long Xiaoyun was about to go to Lin Shiyin to ask for clarification, Butler Li appeared and asked with a smile.
"How long has Mr. Long lived in Li Yuan?"
"It's been about six months." Long Xiaoyun replied.
"It's been so long, Mr. Long should be in good health, right?" the old butler asked again, Long Xiaoyun already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded.
"That's good." Li Butler nodded, and continued with the same smile on his face. "Since Mr. Long is in good health, and the Patriarch is busy with affairs recently, let me tell you that it may not be convenient for Li Yuan to receive Mr. Long recently."
Long Xiaoyun thought this is to drive me away?Recalling that when I was seriously injured to save Li Xun Huan and came to Li Yuan to recuperate, Li Xun Huan told him to treat Li Yuan as his home, but now that Mr. Li is going to drive him away as soon as he comes back?
"Your brother thinks the same way?" Long Xiaoyun asked with disappointment.
"Who are you referring to?" Steward Li pretended to be puzzled, and Long Xiaoyun frowned. "Of course it's the second son of your family, the owner of Li Yuan, Xiao Li Tanhua Li Xunhuan."
"Mr. Long, please forgive me." Li Butler smiled and apologized to Long Xiaoyun. "Now there is no second son in Li Yuan, and what your virtuous brother thinks is not important."
What does this mean! ?
With a dazed expression, Long Xiaoyun was stuffed with a burden by the housekeeper, and then kicked out of Li Garden.
Beside him who was also kicked out with a bag in his arms was the younger brother he had just mentioned.
"What's going on here?" Long Xiaoyun was also shocked, and asked Li Xunhuan why.
Li Xunhuan didn't say anything, just smiled wryly.
Butler Li, who was standing inside the door, appeared at this time and shouted loudly.
"The head of the Li family has orders. Li Xunhuan, a son of the Li family, misbehaved and humiliated his family. He will be dealt with according to the family law. Today, he will be expelled from the family to see what happens."
Long Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Xunhuan, he didn't know what to say.
The serious second young master has been expelled from the house, so what else can he say.
"I'm the one who hurt Big Brother Long today." Li Xunhuan apologized to Long Xiaoyun with a wry smile, Long Xiaoyun sighed, and could only complain in his heart that the young master of the Li family was really ruthless.
"What are your plans for the future, brother?"
"I'm going to join my old friend, what about Brother Long?"
Long Xiaoyun thought that Li Xunhuan would go to join his friends, but since he couldn't follow him, he might as well stay in Baoding, maybe he still had a chance to meet Shiyin.
So Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun parted ways.
And Long Xiaoyun rented a yard near Li Garden in Baoding, looking forward to seeing Lin Shiyin again every day.
One month later
Put away the silver needle, Mengmeng said to Li Jincheng. "After this acupuncture, your disease will be basically cured. As long as you take care of your body and take care of your body according to the method I gave, you can live for at least another 30 years."
"Thank you, Miss Mengmeng." Da En didn't say thanks, Li Jincheng didn't say much to thank him, but just made up his mind that if something happened to Mengmeng in the future, the Li family would definitely help.
"What's your plan for the future, Miss Mengmeng?"
Li Jincheng had planned to take Lin Shiyin to the capital after he recovered from his illness. Where would he find a place for Lin Shiyin? A suitable door-to-door son-in-law.
As for Li Xunhuan who was kicked out of the house, didn't he care about family property?Thinking about leaving Li Yuan, he would be able to live well. Besides, Tie Chuanjia followed him, so Li Jincheng wasn't worried about him if nothing happened.
Mengmeng's plan is still the most important now.
He wanted to take Lin Shiyin to Beijing, thinking that if Mengmeng didn't go with them, he would ask clearly in advance so he could arrange someone to take care of her.
"I'm also going north, so I'll drop by with you, so let's take your carriage and go to the capital for a stroll."
Mengmeng wanted to go to the capital with them, not only Li Jincheng was happy, but Lin Shiyin was also happy.
During this month, because Li Jincheng intended to make Lin Shiyin's temperament more independent and self-reliant, it was said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, so he let Lin Shiyin and Meng Meng get along more.
Lin Shiyin felt that she was done already, but at the age of five, she didn't think she could have anything in common with Mengmeng at first, but Li Jincheng asked her to, and she also wanted to thank Mengmeng for saving Li Jincheng, so she often went to talk to Mengmeng. Hush and ask for warmth.
Unexpectedly, ever since she proposed to play chess with Mengmeng just to pass the time with Mengmeng and was taken to play a game of guiding chess instead, her admiration and admiration for Mengmeng is like a torrent of water , I couldn't hold back at all.
Mengmeng broke a few more endgames today, and set up many interesting chess games.
The tune Mengmeng played on the flute today was so good that even the koi in the pond lost their minds, forgot to swim, and sank to the bottom of the pond.
Mengmeng gave her a round fan with flowers painted on it today. When she was holding the round fan, butterflies always took the painting as a real flower and landed on it.
Mengmeng's handwriting is particularly beautiful, and she is proficient in all kinds of fonts, whether it is regular script, running script, or cursive script.
cute...
Li Jincheng was still thinking before, how long does it take for a woman to forget her old lover?
He now knows the answer, which is less than a month.
In a month, he saw the gloomy look on Lin Shiyin's face gradually disappear. Every day, he was either pondering the chess game Mengmeng set for her, thinking hard about the interesting puzzles Mengmeng came up with, or urging Mengmeng to continue talking about what he hadn't said before. finished story.
After discovering from Mengmeng that there are so many interesting and wonderful things in the world that she didn't know about, Lin Shiyin began to get used to Mengmeng no matter where she opened her mouth.
He said before that he should take good care of his little benefactor, but now it seems that Lin Shiyin is being taken care of instead.
So when she got the news that Mengmeng was going to the capital with them, Lin Shiyin was the happiest one.
Because Li Jincheng said that when she arrived in the capital, she had to get acquainted with the female relatives of the friends of the elders. Only when she had a good reputation in the social circle of the wives and young ladies in the capital, would it be easier to find a suitable partner in the future. Things would be much easier if there were female elders to help, but Li Jincheng couldn't marry a wife in a short time, so only Lin Shiyin was affected.
Fortunately, the status of women in this dynasty was relatively high, and women were not particularly restricted, so even if Lin Shiyin went to various banquets by herself, no one would gossip about Lin Shiyin.
And since Li Jincheng came back, Lin Shiyin has followed her eldest cousin's arrangements in everything, but she has been in Baoding since she was a child, and she is not familiar with the place in the capital. After all, she is a little uneasy. Take it easy.
That's why she was so happy when she knew that Mengmeng was going to be with them.
After arranging the affairs of the family, Li Jincheng tricked Long Xiaoyun away from Li Yuan, and then took Mengmeng and Lin Shiyin to the capital.
Baoding was not far from the capital, and the journey was safe, but the Li family's carriage arrived in the capital within a day or two.
The Li family has property in the capital. Although it is not as big as Li Yuan, it is still a very spacious house.
Because Li Jincheng had contacted his classmates and old friends in advance, all kinds of greeting cards and invitations were sent to their door on the second day they had just settled down.
The original intention was to regain the previous contacts, so Li Jincheng soon took Lin Shiyin and Meng Meng to the banquet.
Originally, Mengmeng didn't want to follow, but she couldn't hold back Lin Shiyin's stubbornness, so she followed.
This time the banquet was initiated by Lord Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Some friends and their family members were invited. Once they arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Li Jincheng stayed in the front yard, while Mengmeng and Lin Shiyin were taken to the backyard.
While Lin Shiyin was exchanging greetings with Mrs. Shangshu, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old suddenly rushed in with a pot of flowers in her red dress.
"Auntie Si, I've decided. I'm going to hold an epiphyllum banquet! Isn't it just a lotus flower banquet held before, this time I must convince that little girl Charlene."
Mrs. Shangshu first apologized to Lin Shiyin, saying that the juniors in the family were naughty, but from her expression, it can be seen that Mrs. Shangshu didn't mean to blame her niece too much. Instead, she smiled softly and helped the girl smooth her messy hair. Neat, while saying. "Ganoderma lucidum, this epiphyllum only blooms at night, do you want to hold a banquet at night?"
The face of the girl named Ganoderma lucidum suddenly collapsed.
"Is there no way to make Epiphyllum bloom during the day?"
Mengmeng thought to herself, of course there is a way.
The author has something to say: three-in-one, a little late, sorry.

Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, who were still hesitating at first, knew they couldn't escape when they heard Li Jincheng's familiar voice, so they had no choice but to walk through the yard and into the main room.
Before meeting Li Jincheng, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin were very confused, worried that Li Jincheng would be angry, and racked their brains to come up with an explanation, but when they saw the pale and sickly Li Jincheng sitting on the top, Lin Shiyin's tears seemed to have stopped in an instant thread beads, and Li Xun Huan also choked up with red eyes.
Although Li Jincheng treated them strictly, he also brought them up single-handedly. Father and brother are like fathers. When the news of Li Jincheng's death came, the two of them fell into grief for nearly a year, and they thought they would never be together again in this life. The people they met actually appeared in front of them again alive, and the turmoil of love and love seemed no longer so important.
"It's great, brother, you're still alive."
Facing the younger brother who was crying in his words, Li Jincheng sighed.
After all, it was the children who had been seeing the grown-ups since they were young, and they had avoided seeing them for many years because they missed them. Seeing Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin both shed tears, Li Jincheng also felt sad for a moment.
Back then, he was working abroad, and his health became worse and worse due to his busy schedule. Later, he asked the emperor for his illness and resigned. Unexpectedly, he contracted severe tuberculosis on the way home. However, on the way home, he met a The strange doctor, the strange doctor said that he could try to cure him, but he may not be able to cure him, and the treatment time may be extremely long. He has always been impatient with the patient's family members, so he stipulated that his patient should be suspended animation. Then he was willing to heal him.
At that time, he thought that his younger brother was already an adult and had also been admitted to Tanhua to serve in the imperial court. He must have been able to support the family. Although he was not married yet, he and his little cousin Shiyin were childhood sweethearts. He didn't need to handle the marriage, so he agreed to the strange doctor's request, left Li Yuan after feigning death, and went to the valley where the strange doctor lived in seclusion to receive treatment.
This treatment lasted for five years, until the end of the strange doctor's time was approaching. Before Xian went, he told Li Jincheng that he hadn't found a way to completely cure him these years, but at least he kept the vitality in his heart alive. Rehabilitation, but you can persist for a year or so, maybe you will encounter a chance to heal yourself.
Li Jincheng thinks that opportunities are hard to find. He has lived for five years longer, and he is quite satisfied. After burying the strange doctor, he doesn't want to go back to Li Garden. Li Jincheng, who made his family sad again, originally planned to stay in the valley where the strange doctor lived in seclusion. the rest of my life.
But not long ago, when Li Shan was out shopping, he heard some people from all over the world talk about Xiao Li Tanhua's "love affair", and he accidentally said it when he came back. Resolutely left the recuperation place and returned to Li Garden.
And his illness became more and more serious after leaving the valley. If it wasn't for meeting Mengmeng this time, he might have died on the way.
After clarifying the truth about the fake death that year, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin turned their attention to Meng Meng who had been sitting on Li Jincheng's lower chair.
"Ms. Mengmeng's kindness for saving my brother's life is greatly appreciated by everyone in the Li family." Li Xunhuan bowed his hands to Mengmeng and thanked him.
But as Li Jincheng said, although he is still alive now, if he can't be cured, he won't live for long. At this time, Li Xunhuan thought of the news he had heard about Mengmeng before.
Although Mengmeng is well-known in the Jianghu, everyone pays more attention to her music than her medical skills. Among all kinds of rumors about her miraculous skills, Mengmeng has easily solved the "Yan Wang Enemy" Doctor Xue thought that the matter of poison was troublesome, but he briefly mentioned it. Some people said that Mengmeng is the descendant of a hermit expert, and it is not uncommon for him to carry a magic medicine that can detoxify.
But when Li Shan told about the dangers on the road today, and Mengmeng's first aid skills, Li Xunhuan understood that Mengmeng is absolutely superb in medicine.
Maybe she will be able to cure the eldest brother.
Thinking of this, Li Xun Huan bowed deeply to Meng Meng.
"What are you two doing?" Mengmeng's surprised voice sounded, and Li Xunhuan realized that Lin Shiyin bent down and bowed to Mengmeng with him.
"Shiyin knows that she is not qualified to ask Mengmeng girl to do anything, but the eldest cousin took care of Shiyin when she grew up. He is both a brother and a father. Shiyin really can't bear the blow of losing him again, so I implore Miss Mengmeng to save big cousin, as long as you promise, Shiyin will do anything."
Shiyin suppressed crying. At this time, she was completely different from the state of a pool of stagnant water before. Although the pear blossoms were raining, the light in her eyes was astonishing, as if seeing land in the vast sea, with hope as a driving force.
Li Xunhuan didn't notice Lin Shiyin's change at this time, and just echoed Lin Shiyin's words without hesitation. "It's the same below, as long as Miss Mengmeng is willing to take action to heal elder brother, I am willing to be sent by the girl."
Before Mengmeng could answer, Li Jincheng yelled. "Nonsense! Are you threatening my savior? Kneel down!"
Because he didn't control the volume, Li Jincheng covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin subconsciously wanted to get closer, but Li Jincheng swung him away. In order to calm him down, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin knelt down obediently in front of Li Jincheng.
Fortunately, Mengmeng's medicine worked, Li Jincheng's cough was not serious, and it stopped soon.
"You don't need to care about my illness. I'm coming back this time to see what you have done to shame your ancestors."
Li Jincheng's eyes turned back and forth on the kneeling Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, and finally decided to deal with Li Xunhuan's serious situation first.
"Xun Huan, I heard that you have been lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in recent months, is there such a thing?"
This is a fact known to all Baoding and even the whole Jianghu, Li Xunhuan replied irrefutably. "yes."
"Then do you still remember what the third rule of the Li family's family motto is?"
Although it has been a long time since I read the family training, Li Xun Huan, who has memorized it countless times since childhood, has long engraved it in his heart, replied without a single pause. "Quietness can be used to cultivate one's morality, restraint can be used to cultivate one's virtue, lasciviousness can't stimulate one's energy, and dryness can't cure one's nature."
Hearing Li Xunhuan proficiently recite the monk's instructions, Li Jincheng's expression not only did not soften, but became more serious. "I don't mind your resignation. After all, everyone has their own aspirations. If your aspirations are not here, no one can force you. However, our Li family has passed on for a hundred years. Which child does not abide by the behavior of a gentleman? Look at what you have done , as the head of the family, when you linger in the place of fireworks, you can think of the century-old reputation of our Li family!"
Li Xunhuan was shocked by Li Jincheng's drink and suddenly realized how inappropriate what he had done to make Lin Shiyin disappointed in him.
But the matter has come to this point, although Li Xun Huan regrets it, he also knows that he has nothing to excuse.
"Little brother knows that he has made a big mistake, so he is willing to be punished."
"Big cousin." Lin Shiyin spoke suddenly. "This matter all started because of Shiyin. The reason why the second cousin did this was to make Shiyin give up. When it comes to Shiyin, it is hard to escape the blame."
Li Jincheng looked at Lin Shiyin who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and felt pain in his heart, so he could only sigh and ask. "What's wrong with you?"
"The fault is that Shiyin is pretending to be confused. He knows that his second cousin intends to give up, but he still tries to persevere. If Shiyin had a little wink and followed his second cousin's wishes, he would not ruin his reputation."
"Shiyin!" Hearing Lin Shiyin say this, Li Xunhuan's heart ached, but Lin Shiyin didn't seem to hear him calling her, she still knelt with her back straight and her eyes fixed on her knees.
"You are at fault." Li Jincheng nodded. "But there's nothing wrong with that."
"Do you remember who your father is?"
Of course, Lin Shiyin remembered that her father was the current Grand Tutor in the blurred memory when she was young, he was the first-rank servant of the dynasty, highly respected by literati and officials, Master Lin with the posthumous title of Wenzheng.
"As his only daughter, you should keep the name of the Lin family well and pass on the glory of the Lin family. Although there are no elders, you must know that your marriage is not decided by your petty temper."
Because the Li family and the Lin family are brothers-in-law, Master Li also respected Master Lin very much. After Master Lin and Mrs. Lin passed away, he brought Lin Shiyin to Li Garden to be raised. It's done, at least one of the children born must have the same surname as Lin Shiyin. If there is any accident in the marriage of the two children in the future, they will recruit a good-behaved son-in-law for Lin Shiyin.
At that time, Li Jincheng felt that his father was worrying too much. The younger brother and his cousin had always been very close. Their marriage was almost a certainty, so how could there be any accidents?
Thinking about it now, maybe Master Li could see it clearly, and his words became a prophecy.
Lin Shiyin was so ashamed by Li Jincheng's words that she lowered her head.
She agreed to marry Long Xiaoyun impulsively at the beginning, and regretted it afterwards, but to Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan who were happily talking about drinking to celebrate, Lin Shiyin couldn't say anything about regretting it.
Of course, Li Jincheng understood the child he brought up. Looking at Lin Shiyin's appearance, he knew that she had already regretted it, but she refused to break the contract because of her face.
"I have made arrangements for your marriage. I will immediately cancel the engagement with Long Xiaoyun. People in Li Yuan are not allowed to mention this matter again."
"But Brother Long..." Hearing that Li Jincheng refused to let Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun get married, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but refute, but was interrupted by Li Jincheng before he finished speaking.
"Li Xunhuan, since you have canceled your engagement with Shiyin, as the second cousin, while I'm still alive, it's not your turn to comment on her marriage."
Li Xunhuan was silenced by Li Jincheng's words, but Lin Shiyin hesitated to speak.
"But big cousin, if people find out about our sudden divorce, it may affect the Li family's reputation."
"People from the Li family will definitely not break their mouths outside, and as long as Long Xiaoyun cares about you as much as he said, he will not reveal this matter to the outside world. Besides, the current Li family has already lost face. It doesn't matter if someone tells you you've turned back."
As Li Jincheng said, his gaze stabbed Li Xunhuan like a sharp sword.
"Shiyin, you have nothing to do here for the time being. For this mistake, you will be fined to go back and copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, and you will be confined for ten days. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the yard, and you are not allowed to meet outsiders."
Hearing Li Jincheng's words, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although she was punished, her mood became extremely relaxed at this time.
After Lin Shiyin obediently left, Li Xunhuan was the only one kneeling in the hall.
Before the punishment came out, Li Xunhuan was very disturbed, especially after Lin Shiyin left, Li Jincheng did not immediately say the punishment for Li Xunhuan, but fell into silence, as if he was thinking about how to punish him.
When Li Xun Huan's cold sweat was about to drop to the ground along his brow bone, Li Jincheng finally spoke.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for a night, and think carefully about what you have done."
Hearing that the punishment was so easy, Li Xun Huan couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions now. After standing up from the ground, he hurriedly went to the ancestral hall and knelt down.
Seeing that both of them had left, Li Jincheng sighed and rubbed his Qingming acupoint.
"The siblings in the family are ignorant, which made Mengmeng laugh at her."
Meng Meng, who sat by and watched Li Jincheng's handling of Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, looked at Li Jincheng's helpless expression, shook her head and did not answer.
"Li Shan, send Mengmeng girl to the guest room, it's a long journey, take a good rest today."
Seeing Li Shan coming over to lead her, Mengmeng stood up and waved her hand to say no.
"I just left Li Yuan today. I still remember the road very well. I don't need to lead the way, but I hope you can try to solve the matter as much as possible today, so that all the anger that should be angry and the anger that should be vented will be vented and vented in one breath. This will not delay my treatment for you tomorrow."
Mengmeng's words made Li Shan excited. "Miss Mengmeng means that you can cure our young master?"
"Of course it can be cured. If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't say that."
Hearing what Mengmeng said, neither Li Shan nor Li Jincheng questioned her, and both felt that she did have such abilities.
"Thank you, Miss Mengmeng, for being willing to take care of me." Li Jincheng stood up and thanked Mengmeng.
After receiving Li Jincheng's gift, Mengmeng continued. "Life is precious. If you can save it, of course you have to save it. Besides, if you die, I'm afraid this family will be completely broken up, so it's better for you to live well."
·
Long Xiaoyun took a jar of wine and was going to find his good brother to have a good drink, but just when he entered Li Xunhuan's yard, Long Xiaoyun found that Li Xunhuan was not there, and there was a very ugly young man sitting in the yard.
Seeing how respectful Li Steward was to the young master, Long Xiaoyun knew that this person was not a simple person, and seeing that he and Li Xunhuan had a three-point similar appearance, Long Xiaoyun guessed that this person might be a relative of the Li family.
I heard from Li Xun Huan that the Li family has not had much contact with relatives in recent years, so this young master is probably not a good person coming here at this time.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyun was on guard in his heart, but the hearty smile on his face remained unchanged. He went up to greet Steward Li, first asked where Li Xunhuan was going, and then asked the identity of the stranger.
"Mr. Long, this is the eldest son of my family. He is the elder brother of the second son. He is also the current head of Li Yuan." Li Butler answered Long Xiaoyun with a smile. He and Li Xunhuan were sued in front of him.
"You are Long Xiaoyun?" Li Jincheng sized Long Xiaoyun up with extremely sharp eyes.
This gaze was too sharp, as if someone had seen through Long Xiaoyun's heart, he felt very uncomfortable.
"This is Long Xiaoyun, who has met Mr. Li." After Long Xiaoyun greeted him, there was a puzzled look on his face. "Young Master, don't blame me for talking too much, but I have heard Brother Li say that his brother died of illness five years ago..."
"Forgive me, Mr. Long, this matter is a long story, and it is not convenient for outsiders to explain."
Li Jincheng didn't mean to explain. Originally, he wanted to see Long Xiaoyun in a while, but since he delivered it to the door himself, it saved him an extra trip.
"I heard that my little cousin Shiyin agreed to Mr. Long's marriage proposal yesterday?"
"Exactly, after Shiyin and I get married, I have to call the eldest son uncle." Long Xiaoyun smiled and cupped his hands to Li Jincheng.
"Mr. Long said this a bit early. Let me ask you, have you and Shiyin exchanged Geng Tie, have you passed the three books and six rituals?"
Long Xiaoyun's heart trembled, he thought that the sudden appearance of the eldest son was really for his marriage with Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin only agreed to him yesterday, and today she was so happy that she didn't have time to prepare anything. Besides, he was from the Jianghu, and basically knew nothing about weddings. If it wasn't for Li Jincheng's mention, he wouldn't have thought of it, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Not yet."
"Then this marriage is not counted." Li Jincheng's light words broke Long Xiaoyun's dream, how could he agree to it.
"Shiyin and I are in love with each other, and Shiyin personally agreed to the marriage, why did the eldest son stop it?!"
"Shiyin grew up in Li Yuan. She was spoiled too much by me and her second cousin, so she acted impulsively. This marriage is neither the words of the parents nor the order of the matchmaker. It is just a joke of the youngest daughter's family. Can it count?"
Li Jincheng casually described Long Xiaoyun's long-awaited marriage contract as a little daughter's joke. Long Xiaoyun could hardly suppress his anger, but he was only thinking about the identity of the other party, so he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only try to defend himself.
"Shiyin's parents are gone, of course she can make her own decisions."
"Her parents are gone, but my father left a will before he passed away, asking me to find a son-in-law with a clean family background, good conduct, and knowledgeable knowledge to be her son-in-law, and to continue the incense of the Lin family. This is the order of my parents. "
Li Jincheng glanced at Long Xiaoyun and said. "I don't know how Mr. Long's family background is? How many books have you read? Do you have any fame?"
Long Xiaoyun was born in Jianghu, and he worked his way up from the bottom. He didn't have any family background, let alone any fame, and his face was reddened by Li Jincheng's words for a while.
"Don't worry, Mr. Long. This time, it was my younger sister's rudeness. We will compensate Mr. Long. I hope Mr. Long doesn't take this matter to heart." Li Jincheng glanced at the butler, who took out a stack of bank notes and handed it to him very politely. In front of Long Xiaoyun.
Long Xiaoyun stared at the banknote in front of him as if he had some deep hatred, and didn't reach out to take it. When Butler Li wanted to put the banknote into Long Xiaoyun's arms, Long Xiaoyun roared and poured out the wine in his hand. The jar fell to the ground and went straight away.
He wanted to talk to Li Xunhuan, but Li Yuan didn't mention Li Xunhuan's whereabouts, so Long Xiaoyun had no choice but to go back to his place first.
He thought that Li Xun Huan was actually opposed to this marriage in his heart, so he avoided seeing him on purpose.But just after dawn, when Long Xiaoyun was about to go to Lin Shiyin to ask for clarification, Butler Li appeared and asked with a smile.
"How long has Mr. Long lived in Li Yuan?"
"It's been about six months." Long Xiaoyun replied.
"It's been so long, Mr. Long should be in good health, right?" the old butler asked again, Long Xiaoyun already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded.
"That's good." Li Butler nodded, and continued with the same smile on his face. "Since Mr. Long is in good health, and the Patriarch is busy with affairs recently, let me tell you that it may not be convenient for Li Yuan to receive Mr. Long recently."
Long Xiaoyun thought this is to drive me away?Recalling that when I was seriously injured to save Li Xun Huan and came to Li Yuan to recuperate, Li Xun Huan told him to treat Li Yuan as his home, but now that Mr. Li is going to drive him away as soon as he comes back?
"Your brother thinks the same way?" Long Xiaoyun asked with disappointment.
"Who are you referring to?" Steward Li pretended to be puzzled, and Long Xiaoyun frowned. "Of course it's the second son of your family, the owner of Li Yuan, Xiao Li Tanhua Li Xunhuan."
"Mr. Long, please forgive me." Li Butler smiled and apologized to Long Xiaoyun. "Now there is no second son in Li Yuan, and what your virtuous brother thinks is not important."
What does this mean! ?
With a dazed expression, Long Xiaoyun was stuffed with a burden by the housekeeper, and then kicked out of Li Garden.
Beside him who was also kicked out with a bag in his arms was the younger brother he had just mentioned.
"What's going on here?" Long Xiaoyun was also shocked, and asked Li Xunhuan why.
Li Xunhuan didn't say anything, just smiled wryly.
Butler Li, who was standing inside the door, appeared at this time and shouted loudly.
"The head of the Li family has orders. Li Xunhuan, a son of the Li family, misbehaved and humiliated his family. He will be dealt with according to the family law. Today, he will be expelled from the family to see what happens."
Long Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Xunhuan, he didn't know what to say.
The serious second young master has been expelled from the house, so what else can he say.
"I'm the one who hurt Big Brother Long today." Li Xunhuan apologized to Long Xiaoyun with a wry smile, Long Xiaoyun sighed, and could only complain in his heart that the young master of the Li family was really ruthless.
"What are your plans for the future, brother?"
"I'm going to join my old friend, what about Brother Long?"
Long Xiaoyun thought that Li Xunhuan would go to join his friends, but since he couldn't follow him, he might as well stay in Baoding, maybe he still had a chance to meet Shiyin.
So Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun parted ways.
And Long Xiaoyun rented a yard near Li Garden in Baoding, looking forward to seeing Lin Shiyin again every day.
One month later
Put away the silver needle, Mengmeng said to Li Jincheng. "After this acupuncture, your disease will be basically cured. As long as you take care of your body and take care of your body according to the method I gave, you can live for at least another 30 years."
"Thank you, Miss Mengmeng." Da En didn't say thanks, Li Jincheng didn't say much to thank him, but just made up his mind that if something happened to Mengmeng in the future, the Li family would definitely help.
"What's your plan for the future, Miss Mengmeng?"
Li Jincheng had planned to take Lin Shiyin to the capital after he recovered from his illness. Where would he find a place for Lin Shiyin? A suitable door-to-door son-in-law.
As for Li Xunhuan who was kicked out of the house, didn't he care about family property?Thinking about leaving Li Yuan, he would be able to live well. Besides, Tie Chuanjia followed him, so Li Jincheng wasn't worried about him if nothing happened.
Mengmeng's plan is still the most important now.
He wanted to take Lin Shiyin to Beijing, thinking that if Mengmeng didn't go with them, he would ask clearly in advance so he could arrange someone to take care of her.
"I'm also going north, so I'll drop by with you, so let's take your carriage and go to the capital for a stroll."
Mengmeng wanted to go to the capital with them, not only Li Jincheng was happy, but Lin Shiyin was also happy.
During this month, because Li Jincheng intended to make Lin Shiyin's temperament more independent and self-reliant, it was said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, so he let Lin Shiyin and Meng Meng get along more.
Lin Shiyin felt that she was done already, but at the age of five, she didn't think she could have anything in common with Mengmeng at first, but Li Jincheng asked her to, and she also wanted to thank Mengmeng for saving Li Jincheng, so she often went to talk to Mengmeng. Hush and ask for warmth.
Unexpectedly, ever since she proposed to play chess with Mengmeng just to pass the time with Mengmeng and was taken to play a game of guiding chess instead, her admiration and admiration for Mengmeng is like a torrent of water , I couldn't hold back at all.
Mengmeng broke a few more endgames today, and set up many interesting chess games.
The tune Mengmeng played on the flute today was so good that even the koi in the pond lost their minds, forgot to swim, and sank to the bottom of the pond.
Mengmeng gave her a round fan with flowers painted on it today. When she was holding the round fan, butterflies always took the painting as a real flower and landed on it.
Mengmeng's handwriting is particularly beautiful, and she is proficient in all kinds of fonts, whether it is regular script, running script, or cursive script.
cute...
Li Jincheng was still thinking before, how long does it take for a woman to forget her old lover?
He now knows the answer, which is less than a month.
In a month, he saw the gloomy look on Lin Shiyin's face gradually disappear. Every day, he was either pondering the chess game Mengmeng set for her, thinking hard about the interesting puzzles Mengmeng came up with, or urging Mengmeng to continue talking about what he hadn't said before. finished story.
After discovering from Mengmeng that there are so many interesting and wonderful things in the world that she didn't know about, Lin Shiyin began to get used to Mengmeng no matter where she opened her mouth.
He said before that he should take good care of his little benefactor, but now it seems that Lin Shiyin is being taken care of instead.
So when she got the news that Mengmeng was going to the capital with them, Lin Shiyin was the happiest one.
Because Li Jincheng said that when she arrived in the capital, she had to get acquainted with the female relatives of the friends of the elders. Only when she had a good reputation in the social circle of the wives and young ladies in the capital, would it be easier to find a suitable partner in the future. Things would be much easier if there were female elders to help, but Li Jincheng couldn't marry a wife in a short time, so only Lin Shiyin was affected.
Fortunately, the status of women in this dynasty was relatively high, and women were not particularly restricted, so even if Lin Shiyin went to various banquets by herself, no one would gossip about Lin Shiyin.
And since Li Jincheng came back, Lin Shiyin has followed her eldest cousin's arrangements in everything, but she has been in Baoding since she was a child, and she is not familiar with the place in the capital. After all, she is a little uneasy. Take it easy.
That's why she was so happy when she knew that Mengmeng was going to be with them.
After arranging the affairs of the family, Li Jincheng tricked Long Xiaoyun away from Li Yuan, and then took Mengmeng and Lin Shiyin to the capital.
Baoding was not far from the capital, and the journey was safe, but the Li family's carriage arrived in the capital within a day or two.
The Li family has property in the capital. Although it is not as big as Li Yuan, it is still a very spacious house.
Because Li Jincheng had contacted his classmates and old friends in advance, all kinds of greeting cards and invitations were sent to their door on the second day they had just settled down.
The original intention was to regain the previous contacts, so Li Jincheng soon took Lin Shiyin and Meng Meng to the banquet.
Originally, Mengmeng didn't want to follow, but she couldn't hold back Lin Shiyin's stubbornness, so she followed.
This time the banquet was initiated by Lord Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Some friends and their family members were invited. Once they arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Li Jincheng stayed in the front yard, while Mengmeng and Lin Shiyin were taken to the backyard.
While Lin Shiyin was exchanging greetings with Mrs. Shangshu, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old suddenly rushed in with a pot of flowers in her red dress.
"Auntie Si, I've decided. I'm going to hold an epiphyllum banquet! Isn't it just a lotus flower banquet held before, this time I must convince that little girl Charlene."
Mrs. Shangshu first apologized to Lin Shiyin, saying that the juniors in the family were naughty, but from her expression, it can be seen that Mrs. Shangshu didn't mean to blame her niece too much. Instead, she smiled softly and helped the girl smooth her messy hair. Neat, while saying. "Ganoderma lucidum, this epiphyllum only blooms at night, do you want to hold a banquet at night?"
The face of the girl named Ganoderma lucidum suddenly collapsed.
"Is there no way to make Epiphyllum bloom during the day?"
Mengmeng thought to herself, of course there is a way.
The author has something to say: three-in-one, a little late, sorry.
