After returning to Hanshuiyuan, Jiang Li insisted on seeing Pei Zhi's injuries in person before she would give up.
Jiang Li is very persistent about this. Just now, the third brother said something else to her, diverting her attention. But no matter what, after all, she had to take a look at it in person, and then she felt reassured.
Pei couldn't resist her. The little girl was thoughtful about this matter. He was originally worried that the scars on his body would scare Jiang Li, but now if she insists on seeing it, it doesn't matter.
There were some bandages wrapped around Pei Zhi's body, but they were not completely removed. After taking off his coat, there were large and small wounds.
The most conspicuous thing is the scar on the chest, surrounded by layers of gauze, still showing some red bloodshot threads.
Jiang Li only felt her heart tremble when she saw it. The third brother's groan at that time turned out to be really because the wound had opened, and he was not deliberately teasing himself.
After checking everything on his body, Jiang Li frowned slightly: "Third brother, when you come back this time, did your Majesty tell you when you will go to Luoyang?"
Now that this circle has passed, His Majesty's private visit incognito has ended, and Pei Zhi has successfully become a second-grade inspector. If he follows the usual practice, he must have rushed to Luoyang immediately after the New Year.
Pei Zhi said: "Your Majesty, please understand me and go back in the spring."
Jiang Li's hand kept falling behind his back, and he only felt a tingling sensation where Jiang Li's fingertips touched.
Pei Zhi felt something strange in his heart, but he tried to hide it.
Jiang Li was confused: "Spring?"
That is to say, the third brother can stay at home for almost two months.
Pei Zhi hummed: "His Majesty is considerate and said that he would allow me to rest at home during this period."
Jiang Li said: "That's it."
Sure enough, the third brother has now won the favor of His Majesty, and His Majesty is still very good to the third brother in this aspect. However, no matter what, the third brother also saved his life twice. It is normal for His Majesty to be so kind to the third brother!
Pei Zhi coughed and put on his clothes, "Okay, the wound has been checked, you should feel relieved."
Jiang Li was dissatisfied and retorted: "It was only after reading it that I felt uneasy."
How could she feel relieved when she was injured so seriously?
Before the two of them finished speaking, Aunt Ji came back at this time and pushed the door open, breaking the atmosphere between the two.
Jiang Li felt guilty inexplicably and was startled.
Aunt Ji saw Pei Zhi with joy on her face: "Goudaner, you have lost weight."
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Pei Zhi's face turned dark and he said helplessly: "Aunt Ji..."
——
In the evening.
The entire Jiang family was decorated with lanterns and decorations and started preparing for these things early.
It snowed heavily again, so Jiang Li put on a cloak and headed towards Jing'an Hall.
She had just arrived. When Mrs. Jiang saw her, she stood up and said, "I have met the County Lord."
Everyone followed suit and shouted out. Jiang Li looked a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Grandma, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Jiang's face was full of smiles: "Now that you are the Lord of Rongan County personally granted by His Majesty, you are naturally different from us."
Previously, when I asked Li Yatou to follow Pei Zhi, I originally thought that if Pei Zhi did something in the future, he might be able to help Li Yatou in some matters.
But he didn't expect that by being so ambitious, not only would he become a favored and powerful official around His Majesty, but he would also be given the title of head of Liyantou County in their family.
With such an identity, Li Yatou can rely on her no matter where she is in the future.
Jiang Li disagreed and said, "Grandma, no matter what, I am grandma's granddaughter, my mother's daughter, and my brothers' sister."
"As a family, why should we care about this?"
And when she heard this title, she just felt weird. In fact, she never thought that Pei Zhi would seek glory for herself.
The third brother may never be able to repay the kindness he has shown him in his lifetime.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and waved to her: "Come and sit next to grandma."
Jiang Li sat down obediently.
The more Mrs. Jiang looks at her granddaughter, the more satisfied she becomes. Who in Qingzhou is more valuable than her granddaughter now!
Jiang Xi's younger sister was granted the title of county head now because she was sincerely happy: "Ali, congratulations."
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Thank you, fourth brother."
On the one hand, Jiang Xi was happy for him, but on the other hand, he secretly had some indescribable feelings in his heart. Then he would work harder and make contributions.
He strived to help his little sister with these things in the future. Previously, he had thought that as soon as Pei Zhi left, he would perform well in front of his little sister and make her get closer to him.
But when he heard that Pei Zhi had almost lost his entire life at that time, he finally rescued his own life from the Palace of Hell. He did not promote himself to a higher position, just to give Jiang Li an identity.
After hearing this, he admired Pei Zhi from the bottom of his heart.
He also knew that he might never be able to replace Pei Zhi in his little sister's heart.
Jiang Li saw the people around again and found that Pei Zhi hadn't arrived yet, so she was a little confused.
"Why hasn't Third Brother come over yet?"
The banquet was almost ready and waiting for him to come.
Just as he said these words, there was a movement at the door of Jing'an Hall. It was Pei Zhi coming over.
Jiang Li's eyes were immediately attracted. It was rare for Pei Zhi not to be wearing dark clothes today. He was wearing a large emerald green cloak, walking in the snow.
The snow is mixed with dead branches and leaves, making a crisp sound of stepping on the snow.
The cold wind was blowing, and when Pei Zhi walked over, he seemed to be carrying a green feeling.
Jiang Li felt her heart tremble.
