"Who are you? You should be able to tell me now, right?"
Yong County, under a tea stall in an alley not far from Li Mansion in the west of the city, Li Jingchu looked at Li Zexuan and said calmly.
She had never met Li Zexuan, and just now Li Zexuan asked to have a few words with her alone. She had always been very wary, but for some reason she unexpectedly agreed. Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but feel scared, and secretly blamed herself for being a little too much. You were so careless that you dared to be alone with a man you didn't know!
"Miss Li, don't be nervous. Speaking of which, the car dealership founded by your father has a close relationship with me~!"
Li Zexuan chuckled.
"Is it related to the car dealership founded by my father?"
Li Jingchu frowned, and then she asked doubtfully: "Could the young master be from Uncle Lin's family of the Chang'an Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce?"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had previously heard from Leng Yuyao that Li Xingyun founded a car dealership and made his fortune by buying carriages and bicycles from members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and reselling them in Qizhou. Looking at it now, that member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is probably Lin Wenyuan. !
"Haha! The girl is talking about boss Lin Wenyuan, right? I am not from the Lin family, but the bicycles and carriages sold by the Lin family to other places are all made by me~!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan smiled.
"...Are you the Marquis of Yong'an?"
Li Jingchu's eyes flashed, and after her expression changed, she suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
"Miss Li is smart, you guessed it right, I am Marquis Yong'an, I guarantee it is true~!"
Li Zexuan nodded in approval.
Seeing Li Zexuan's sincere face and extraordinary demeanor, Li Jingchu subconsciously chose to believe it for some reason. She stood up in surprise, saluted Li Zexuan and said: "Little girl Li Jingchu, I have met the Marquis of Yong'an~!"
"Haha! No need to be polite!"
Li Zexuan raised his hands and said politely.
He didn't expect that the conversation with Li Jingchu would go so smoothly, but Li Jingchu was willing to believe his identity, and the current situation showed that Li Jingchu had no ill feelings towards him. This was a good start!
Li Zexuan didn't know that because he had practiced Taoist exercises for many years, his temperament had long been different from ordinary people. The natural aura of Taoism in him had a special attraction to the creatures in the world, making people subconsciously feel friendly. , this is a mysterious and mysterious feeling, but it is a real phenomenon!
"Yesterday I heard that Marquis Yong'an led the Tianji Brigade to Qizhou. Jingchu has admired Marquis for his reputation for a long time. However, yesterday he was busy with worldly affairs and had no chance to see the Marquis' lineup. Being able to see Marquis today is really Jingchu's third birthday. Fortunately~!"
Li Jingchu said with excitement.
The vigilance in her heart before had now turned into joy.
Facing the suddenly enthusiastic Li Jingchu, Li Zexuan felt a little uncomfortable. He waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "Miss Li, you are serious. I am just an ordinary person. How can I get a reputation? At most, I have done something for the people." There are some things, but those are what I should do in my position and in my political affairs~!"
Li Jingchu shook her head and said: "Everyone in the world knows how kind the Marquis is to the people in the fiefdom. First there was the Quyuan Li, and then today the Tianji Brigade went to various counties to eliminate locusts. All the people in the world have received the kindness of the Marquis. If we say this If they are just in their positions and pursuing their political affairs, then I don’t know how many officials in our court are incompetent! The person my father admired most during his lifetime was you, the Marquis. It’s a pity that my father never had the opportunity to see the Marquis until his death... ..."
Speaking of this, Li Jingchu's face suddenly became sad.
Li Ze He would rather die than give in and die for a lifetime of happiness. For this reason alone, he is an admirable and good father! I believe that if your father is alive in heaven, he will definitely hope that you can live a happy life instead of feeling sad for him all day long. So sad!"
"No! No~!"
Li Jingchu's eyes were red and swollen, and she shook her head violently: "If possible, I would rather marry Zhang Liang than have my father commit suicide! Liu Yuerong is actually right, I am indeed a disaster star, I killed my father~!"
At this point, a tear fell from the corner of Li Jingchu's eye. Previously, when faced with Liu Yuerong's difficulties, she could make him speechless with just a few words, but now she just said a few words to Li Zexuan and couldn't help but burst into tears. It can be seen that her strength is just for others to see. Under her strong appearance, she is wrapped in a fragile heart that is fragmented and on the verge of collapse!
Seeing this scene, Li Zexuan felt a little uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, he said: "Miss Li, you are not to blame for your father's death in any case. The theory of a disaster star is even more nonsense. It's like a group of people walking away." He was hit by a carriage on the road, should we blame him for going out today? The only person who should be blamed for this incident is Zhang Liang. Such a treacherous person is not worthy of being a county official, let alone a human being!"
"Thank you, Mr. Hou, for speaking up for Jingchu. It's just a pity that the evildoer has not received his evil retribution and is still at large to this day~!"
Li Jingchu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered softly.
Li Zexuan said firmly: "Miss Li, the sky net is vast and meticulous. As long as Zhang Liang is still in the Tang Dynasty, I firmly believe that he will be brought to justice sooner or later! Because God will not tolerate evil people!"
Li Jingchu's eyes flashed, she paused for a moment, and then she said, "I hope so~!"
Although she said this, she didn't have much hope in her heart!
Li Zexuan also knew that Li Jingchu could not be convinced by just talking about this kind of thing. After all, the other party was responsible for the murder of his father. How could such a huge hatred be resolved in just a few words? He didn't go into details and instead asked, "Why did Miss Li insist on going back to Li's Mansion to offer incense to your father today?"
Li Jingchu looked sad and said: "Today is my father's birthday. I know that if I don't come back to worship, Liu Yuerong and the others will not even think about it. I originally wanted to go to the temple to invite the forty-nine masters to worship and repent. Nine days, but firstly Liu Yuerong will definitely not agree, and secondly, now that I am no longer the eldest lady of the Li family, I can’t even afford incense, so how can the masters in the temple be willing to pray for my father?"
The so-called Mingshou refers to the birthday of a deceased relative before his/her lifetime. It is an etiquette and custom derived from celebrating birthdays for living people. In terms of its nature, it is an activity to commemorate the filial piety of the ancestors based on the family and the family unit, and is intended to "be careful and loyal." "Chasing the distance" and "bringing light to the future" add glory to the family.
One is to do the Mingshou ceremony at home, and the other is to do it in the temple. Instead of praying and repenting at home, you can do the water and land ashram for one to three days or seven days, with the perfect day being the official day. The most solemn thing is to invite forty-nine monks back to worship and repent for forty-nine days. After the event is completed, the recommended tablet can be placed in the root hall of the temple to receive incense.
Although there is no specific time limit for holding Mingshou, most of them are new bereavements. It is less than three years since the death of grandparents or parents, and their descendants are still grieving; or less than ten years, their descendants have inherited the property rights and business of their elders, or even The title of knight is out of gratitude to "God's kindness".
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Li's filial piety is commendable and admirable! I am willing to help you regain control of the Li family, so that Miss Li can honor your father's birthday in an open and honest manner. I don't know what Miss Li means." How about the next one?"
Li Jingchu was startled. She obviously did not expect that Li Zexuan would come up with such an idea. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your kindness! But, I, Li Jingchu, just want to get back what I have lost! I want everyone to I am convinced, I want the Li family to flourish in my hands, only in this way can I comfort my father’s spirit in heaven~!”
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but look at Li Jingchu even more highly. He nodded and said: "Miss Li is so courageous. My father-in-law has given birth to a daughter like you, so he can smile! Since Miss Li has made up her mind, then I will take this matter I won’t interfere anymore!”
Li Jingchu raised her head and looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your understanding! However, Mr. Hou made a special trip to see Jingchu today, and it shouldn't just be about her father's affairs, right? What orders does Mr. Hou have? After all, Jingchu will do whatever he can to do it." Try your best to help~!”
These words put Li Zexuan in doubt. He couldn't just say to Li Jingchu, "I'm here to lead you," right? If he really said it outright like this, he might be called a coward. After thinking for a while, Li Zexuan coughed dryly and said:
"Miss Li, do you know the governor of Qizhou?"
Li Jingchu's expression changed slightly, she paused for a moment, and then replied: "Prince Wang is kind to my Li family, and he has helped Jingchu again and again. Of course Jingchu recognizes it~! But what does the Marquis mean by this question?"
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Jingchu with a faint look. His skin was white and smooth, as if it could be broken by a blow. His eyes were full of water, and his eyes were indescribably delicate and charming. It was as if the aura between heaven and earth was concentrated in her eyes. On the body. Even though she was wearing plain clothes, she couldn't hide her aura!
Apart from anything else, Li Jingchu's appearance is indeed very good. Coupled with her unique personality, she can indeed be regarded as a leader among women. No wonder she can make Wang Renbiao obsessed with her!
"To be honest, I am close friends with Governor Wang. Just last night, Renbiao suddenly fell ill. He vomited three liters of blood and became bedridden~!"
After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Li Zexuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Li Jingchu's little face to turn pale instantly. A trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, and she quickly asked: "Master Marquis, why is Wang Jishishi bedridden? What's wrong with him?" Sick? Please tell Mr. Wang how he is doing now!"
At the end, there was a hint of vibrato in the words.
Li Zexuan couldn't help but nodded secretly. Judging from Li Jingchu's reaction, she didn't have any feelings for Wang Renbiao at all. Wang Renbiao's judgment last night was correct, "I heard the maid next to Renbiao said that Renbiao often used to Drinking to drown one's sorrows. Drinking too much alcohol can easily damage the liver and stomach. The direct cause of Renbiao's vomiting of blood last night was excessive drinking, but the fundamental reason was that he was overly worried and had a heart attack!
I have some knowledge of medicine, and I can cure my physical ailments, but I really can't do anything about my mental ailments! Ren is in this condition. Even if I cure his physical injuries, his heartache will prevent him from surviving to the age of thirty-five~! "
"Pa~!"
Hearing this, the tea bowl in Li Jingchu's hand suddenly fell to the ground. Her aura-filled eyes instantly lost their sparkle and became lifeless. Her little face also turned frighteningly white, "No! Impossible! He...how did he Maybe he won’t live to be thirty-five? He is the eldest son of the Wang family. Famous doctors in the world will definitely be willing to treat him. His disease will definitely be cured! He will definitely live a long and healthy life... Lord Hou, this It’s not true... Please tell me, this is not true!”
At the end of the story, Li Jingchu burst into tears. She didn't know what kind of trust it was out of. She had taken off all her disguises in front of Li Zexuan, revealing her truest and weakest side. She looked anxious Looking at Li Zexuan, he seemed to be praying and supplicating.
Li Zexuan said in a deep voice: "Miss Li, Renbiao's condition is indeed very serious. I definitely did not bluff you! Last night when Renbiao was in a coma, he mentioned your name, so I asked the others about you. Everything, because I guess that the crux of Renbiao’s heart disease is probably in you!"
Li Jingchu's eyes flashed with panic for a moment. She smoothed her hair on her forehead and said: "Hou... Lord Hou, Jingchu is just a commoner woman. How could the governor Wang's heart disease be related to Jingchu?" ?”
The people around the tea stall had already been driven away by Li Zexuan's guards, and now there was no one else here. Fortunately, Li Zexuan showed his cards directly. He looked at Li Jingchu with stern eyes and said in an extremely serious tone: "Miss Li, I am benevolent to you." I don’t believe you can’t feel our friendship, there are only you and me here today, can you tell me your true thoughts~!”
Li Jingchu trembled and was stunned. Her face showed shyness at first, but then she hesitated and struggled. After a long silence, she finally said:
"Master Marquis, of course Jingchu can feel the kindness of Governor Wang to Jingchu. Jingchu is very grateful to Governor Wang for his help time and time again. However, my father's great revenge has not been avenged. Zhang Liang is still at large, and the Li family has also fallen into decline because of this." , at this juncture, Jingchu really has no intention of caring about her children's personal relationship, and Jingchu can't bear the friendship between the governor and Wang!"
After hearing this, Li Zexuan finally understood what Li Jingchu's concerns were. He couldn't help but frown and said:
"As far as I know, in the past six months, Renbiao has not only mobilized the state's troops, but also mobilized many secret guards of the Wang family, almost turning the entire Qizhou upside down, but Zhang still has not been traced. Liang's traces. If Zhang Liang cannot be found in ten years, won't Miss Li not get married for ten years? If your father is in heaven, seeing you doing this for him, I'm afraid it will be more painful than anyone else? Besides, you can't bear to watch Did Renbiao suffer physical and mental breakdown and die young because of you?"
Li Jingchu held her head and said with a painful look on her face: "Master Marquis, don't force me! I don't want to disgrace my father, and I don't want anything to happen to Governor Wang, so don't force me..."
Seeing the painful look on Li Jingchu's face, Li Zexuan couldn't bear it. He thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! In that case, I will make a gentleman's agreement with Miss Li today! Two years, within two years , I will definitely help Renbiao find out the whereabouts of Zhang Liang and avenge your father. By then, I hope Miss Li can face her true heart!"
