After saying goodbye to mother and son, on the way back to the hotel, the group was not in a hurry and could spend the whole day out playing.
After all, the face-to-face meeting is a big event, and one must inform in advance, and then shower and change clothes. If not for the lack of time, Li Yong would like to buy a new piece of cloth, cut it according to his own ideas, and wear it when the time comes. , can be a blockbuster.
The streets of Tokyo extend in all directions, with spacious roads, many shops on both sides, and some vendors and lackeys shouting and selling.
There was an endless flow of people. Li Yong took them to taste some snacks, and then went to the nearby Wa City to watch some sumo wrestling and cockfighting.
Yu Min was quite interested in this scene. As for Song Qijun and Zhao Pan'er, apart from being curious, there was no movement at all.
Although these beauties, big and small, are all exquisite in appearance and stunning in their own way, Li Yong is accompanied by two black tower-like guards. They are a deterrent when they stand there, and there will not be any unsighted people coming to provoke them. .
In fact, Li Yong was eager to have the opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, to slap him in the face, so that he could take advantage of the situation to further become famous. Moreover, his trouble-making skills might even catch the eye of the emperor, which would make the first meeting in the future even more special. deep impression.
Only by leaving a deep enough impression, even making a big splash, and making a good start can he be able to carry out his plan better.
It was a pity that no Gao Yanei could stand up at this time. However, many flower girls and vendors selling gadgets came over to beg him to buy some things. They also saw that there were many female Juan around him. Generally, such customers would give up anything in order to please the female Juan. Throwing money is an unbreakable principle at all times and in all countries.
Li Yong was indeed not stingy, but he only picked a few that he liked and gave them to Song Qijun, Song Yinzhang and Yu Min. Even the little maid Jin'er had them, but Zhao Pan'er was the only one missing.
Others were unaware, but Song Qijun was attentive. Seeing Zhao Pan'er's expression slightly dark, he felt a little anxious. He glanced at Li Yong, but he couldn't say it directly in front of everyone, so he could only lean into Zhao Pan'er's ears. Bian comforted him softly.
She knew that her officials seemed to have some inexplicable prejudice against this little sister before, but since he followed her to the Song family's former residence and rescued her back to the Li family, Li Yong's attitude has changed a lot, and now he treats Zhao Paner almost treats everyone equally.
So she was more inclined to think that Li Yong actually just forgot.
Although this reason may sound ridiculous, Song Qijun believed it himself, and also persuaded Zhao Paner to believe it.
Zhao Pan'er felt helpless when she heard this, but she knew that in this sister's heart, Li Yong was a first-class good person in the world, and she would not think of him wrongly at all.
Zhao Pan'er actually had some doubts in her heart. She asked herself that she had not offended Li Yong in any way. To be honest, after being rescued by him and spending time in Li's house day and night, she actually felt a faint sense of dependence in her heart.
Could it be that what Sister Qijun said is actually true?
When they returned to the hotel, Zhao Pan'er was still thinking about this issue, but for a while she was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Then she got up and came to the courtyard, looking up at the waning moon in the sky. The moon was white and seemed a bit sad, and she couldn't help but think of some bad memories.
And, I miss the person I shouldn’t miss at this time.
"Pan'er..."
"Um?"
Zhao Pan'er's heart moved. Since Li Yong changed her name, Li Yong and the others have called her "Ling'er". She was suddenly called like this, and she still didn't react.
Looking back at Li Yong walking over, Zhao Pan'er said strangely: "Young Master..."
Li Yong walked over and stood side by side with her. He smiled gently and said, "What are you doing here?"
Then he glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, sighed and said: "People are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has never been the case in ancient times. Could it be that Pan'er is missing his family?"
Zhao Pan'er pursed her lips when she heard this and did not respond, but her eyes revealed cold sadness.
Three years ago, Zhao Paner experienced the loss of her family because her father was implicated in a crime.
Her father was executed, her mother died in depression, and she herself was put into the Jiaofangsi, changing from a noble lady to a lowly woman.
If she hadn't met Song Qijun and Li Yong for help, she didn't know what her end would be now.
But as she arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, the center of power in the Song Dynasty, and knew that Li Yong was about to enter the palace to face the Holy Emperor, some of her thoughts couldn't help but take root again.
But how should she tell Li Yong about this kind of thing?
Moreover, during today's trip, Li Yong's vague alienation from her also made her very concerned.
In fact, of course Zhao Pan'er knew very well that Li Yong treated her a lot because of Song Qijun, and she didn't have any extravagant expectations.
Just being aware of this is already a kind of cruelty to her, a little girl who is now helpless.
Li Yong looked at the little girl in front of him and thought of her current situation, and he felt a little softer in his heart.
To be honest, Zhao Pan'er's situation is quite similar to Lin Daiyu's, even worse than her.
Because she had her home confiscated and executed, there is almost no family member left in the world now - maybe she still has one, but it is inconvenient to recognize her.
Regardless of whether it was Song Qijun or Li Yong, they helped her, but in the end it was just like charity - if you were in an extreme mood, you would probably think so.
There was no Li Yong in the play, and Song Qijun disappeared later. Although she received some "care" from the nanny of the Jiaofang Division, and her father's old subordinates helped her escape from the humble status, she could live independently and had to take care of Song Yinzhang from time to time. Indeed, it is not an easy task.
Because of the scriptwriters, there are many things that are not handled well in TV dramas, which may lead to unflattering characters, but if you put it in reality and be more considerate, you can understand it.
Thinking of this, Li Yong handed over a piece of paper and said softly: "Look at this first..."
Zhao Pan'er was stunned, looked up at Li Yong, and said calmly: "Master, this is..."
"This is what I specially asked Xin Yan to investigate. The whole story about your father, including whether he had any grievances and who harmed him, is basically all about this."
In addition to asking Xin Yan to look for a house, Li Yong also asked him to inquire about the Zhao family's background.
To be honest, it is not that easy to investigate this kind of political disputes, even if it is not like the TV series after more than ten years, except for the ability of the Imperial City Division.
But because Li Yong already had the answer in hand, this open-book exam was relatively easy to extrapolate from cause to effect.
At that time, Zhao Pan'er's father was guarding the border town. However, due to the death of Emperor Taizong, the imperial court ordered the troops in all areas to stop, and the towns in northern Xinjiang restrained their subordinates not to conflict with the Liao people.
As a result, Zhao's father rashly opened the city and sent troops at this time, almost triggering a war.
In the end, Zhao's father was dismissed from his post for dereliction of duty and interrogated, and then his house was ransacked and interrogated. His reputation was completely ruined.
"I heard that your father left a letter when he was in prison. I'm asking someone to check it out, but I don't know when I will find out its whereabouts."
Zhao Pan'er looked at the contents recorded on the piece of paper. Some of them she knew, but some she never knew.
After all, she was still young, and something happened unexpectedly. She couldn't protect herself, so there was no way she could find out any details.
When I heard what Li Yong said again, I felt disappointed.
Although based on the way she remembered it, even if the letter was found, the content was unlikely to involve family matters, because in her father's heart, the kingdom had always come first, and family affairs came second.
"Also, this matter is closely related to an official named Xiao Qinyan."
