In the moonlight, the willow branches and day lilies are cold.
The Rongguo Mansion has been preparing for a grand banquet since the afternoon, preparing for a large-scale family banquet to honor Li Yunze.
After all, the various relationships that had been severed were reconnected, and the constant visits from old friends showed to the Jia family who was supporting the Jia family's revival at this moment.
But by the time the day lilies were cold and the protagonists of the banquet had not yet appeared, Sister Lin started to yawn.
"Brother Lian, what's going on?"
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Mu in confusion, "Did you just fall asleep after a long journey?"
Recalling the scene when Jia Daishan returned from the expedition, Jia's mother, as a veteran, was thoughtful.
It's just that it's really hard to say this to Lin Daiyu.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was indeed a bit strange.
It wasn't until Xiangling hurried over and said with a red face that the second master had taken a break from the long journey and could not make it, that everyone felt relieved.
Everyone understands. After all, except for Li Yunze, none of the girls from Ningguo Mansion have come here.
But those who don't understand, even if they are as smart as Lin Daiyu, are still puzzled, "Why can't Sister Feng and the others come? It's understandable that the second brother is tired and needs to rest early, but they are also tired?"
Lin Daiyu, who inadvertently described the words "tiger and wolf", really didn't understand the reason due to lack of experience.
Jia Mu had no choice but to pretend to scold her, "Don't talk too much, just eat your wine."
Sister Lin really had no experience and didn't understand at all. She felt aggrieved and wanted to ask more questions. Li Wan beside her couldn't help but quietly tugged on her sleeves, finally making her calm down.
The grand banquet was supposed to be lively and lively, but the protagonist did not appear. Wang Xifeng, who was lively and lively, did not come. The sweetheart was still lying on the couch recovering from his injuries. Jia She could not come, and Jia Zheng and his wife were even more like clay and wood carvings.
Jia Mu felt awkward after eating the whole meal, and quickly ended the banquet in a hurry.
At the end of the banquet, Lin Daiyu, who was overly curious, quietly grabbed Li Wan and said, "Sister-in-law, you asked me to stop talking before. What do you mean? What are the second brother and Sister Feng doing?"
What can we do? What else can we do? Of course we have to do it!
But facing the girl Lin Daiyu, he couldn't explain this directly. Li Wan, who blushed, could only shake his head, "Don't ask."
It would be better if she mentioned a few words in a vague way. The smart sister Lin would definitely understand.
But this direct rejection aroused Lin Daiyu's curiosity.
Seeing Li Wan beating him to death without saying a word, Sister Lin felt weird and simply took Zijuan and Xueyan to Ningguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion marches to rule the country, and almost no one walks around the yard after dark.
The little girls carrying lanterns actually became scared as they walked.
The maids looked at Sister Lin pitifully, wanting to go back.
But Sister Lin, who came forward stubbornly, suppressed the fear in her heart and insisted on seeing what Brother Lian and the others were doing!
I often came to Ningguo Mansion to play, and by the light of the moon and lanterns, I came to Huifang Garden smoothly.
At this time, most of the lights in Huifang Garden were turned off, except for Tianxiang Tower where there was still light.
When they passed by, the maid who was guarding the courtyard saw that her cousin was coming, so she didn't stop her.
During the days when Li Yunze sent troops to the southeast, the ladies on both sides often interacted with each other, not only played very close to each other, but also often stayed overnight.
When they got to Tianxiang Tower, they saw Baozhu and Ruizhu sleeping soundly against the corridor.
Lin Daiyu tiptoed forward, leaned against the window and carefully listened to what was going on inside.
Hearing this made everyone feel bad.
Sister Keqing, whom she likes very much, is actually being abused at home!
Listening to Qin Keqing's intermittent screams and cries, Lin Daiyu, who was furious, stamped her feet and was about to push the door open.
Fortunately, Baozhu and Ruizhu were finally awakened at this time, and when they saw this scene, they hurried forward to stop them.
"How could you do this?" Sister Lin stamped her feet angrily, "But Sister Qing is being bullied, why don't you go and help?"
Baozhu and Ruizhu looked extremely strange. It was not like they had never helped before, but they ended up being bullied together.
And now, my young ladies haven’t had enough of it, so it’s not their turn to come on stage.
They couldn't explain it in detail, so they could only try their best to stop it.
If my cousin goes in and sees something she shouldn't see, it will be really bad luck.
While struggling and shouting, the door of Tianxiang Tower opened from the inside.
Li Yunze, wrapped in quilt, walked out, "What are you shouting for? You are not allowed to live as a married couple. Sister Daiyu? Why are you here?"
Anyone would be unhappy if someone interrupted me while studying music theory and I had to take out the instrument to check.
Li Yunze, who was about to get angry, was shocked to see Lin Daiyu with a pretty face and angrily staring at him, and he suppressed his anger.
"Second brother!"
Lin Daiyu was playing well with Qin Keqing, so she was really angry at this time. "Sister Qin has been praying for you and your peace all day long. She is thinking about you. But why did you bully her as soon as you came back?"
Li Yunze was a little confused when he said this.
It's not wrong to say bullying, but this kind of bullying is what Qin Keqing has been waiting for for many days. Why does it feel wrong to say it from Lin Daiyutan's mouth?
"Good girl, have you misunderstood something?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head repeatedly, "I heard it all. Sister Qin even cried. She also said that you didn't bully her."
Now Li Yunze finally understood. He laughed and shook his head, "You really misunderstood. She cried because she was happy."
"This is the first time I heard that someone can still be happy after being bullied." Lin Daiyu, who had a frosty look on her pretty face, stamped her feet repeatedly. "I heard others praise my second brother as the pillar of the country before, and I was happy. I didn't expect that people
The victorious general who is praised by everyone is actually a man who likes to bully women."
Normally, when a lady like Lin Daiyu reaches her current age, her mother will secretly give various hints and begin to tell the things between husband and wife in a vague way.
Although Sister Lin is extremely smart, she lost her mother in her early years.
When we arrived at the Jia Mansion, Jia's mother loved her but did not mention this matter. After all, there was a generation gap.
However, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who were qualified to remind her, were unwilling to pay attention to her.
Li Wan was a polite widow, so of course she didn't talk too much.
Wang Xifeng is too busy here all day long and has no time to educate.
Others don't have enough status, so naturally they won't say much.
The final result is what it is now.
In the midst of the chaos, Qin Keqing's lazy call came from inside the room, relieving everyone.
"Sister Lin, I'm fine. I'm just feeling weak recently. My husband is treating me."
This is not wrong, after all, Li Yunze is good at injections and infusions, and he is definitely a miracle doctor who can cure diseases with medicine.
"Every illness you treat can make you cry like a ghost." Lin Daiyu muttered a few words, which made many people blush.
Fortunately, Lin Daiyu was also vaguely aware that something was wrong, and there was no pain in Qin Keqing's voice when she replied. Instead, it had an indescribable strange charm.
She raised her beautiful eyebrows and glanced at Li Yunze, then saluted and hurriedly turned around and left.
Looking at Lin Daiyu's hurried away figure, Li Yunze shook his head with a smile, closed the door and turned back.
Returning to the couch and stuffing the instrument back into its place, Li Yunze joked, "You get along well with the Lin family girls."
The charming Qin Keqing glanced at him charmingly, "Don't let your mind wander. The Lin family girl's identity is there, it's impossible."
After all, they had known each other for a long time. Qin Keqing could also guess what Li Yunze was thinking.
Li Yunze said nothing more, studied the music and continued to move, but what he was thinking was, 'Is it really impossible?'
In the palace, the emperor, with squinted eyes and an unwavering expression, was sitting in the royal study, silently thinking about Li Yunze.
Today, the lieutenants of the army did not obey the emperor's orders, but they only listened to Li Yunze.
This incident brought a huge shock to the emperor.
To be honest, he really wanted to grab and chop Li Yunze directly because he stepped with his left foot first when he entered the city gate.
But the problem is, Banzai can't do it.
The Supreme Emperor was suppressing him from above, and the officials and nobles below were holding him back due to various intrigues and intrigues. There were not many who really listened to his orders.
Moreover, war disasters continued all over the country, and news of defeat was everywhere.
That is to say, Shenjing City is in Guanzhong. If it were in Beizhili, Shenjing City would have been surrounded by those Tatars before!
As the most capable general in the dynasty and holding a large number of troops, there is really no way to touch Li Yunze.
But what to do with the anger in my heart?
The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you take a step back, the more you think about it.
After the emperor, who was holding back his anger, came back, he asked Jia Yuanchun to take off his armor.
He only thought that the soldiers were disgusting and Li Yunze should be killed.
But I didn't think about it. The soldiers were not even fed, and their pay was delayed and withheld. Why should they listen to you and drag the whole family who is about to starve to death to work for you?
Do you really think that with the title of emperor, you can do anything?
"I will never be promoted in the military. If I let this guy expand his influence in the military, I won't be able to sit on my chair firmly."
Although the emperor was stingy, he still had a good head.
The Jia family was already powerful in the army, but now they are losing battles everywhere. The reputation of Li Yunze, the only one who can win battles, is at its peak.
If Li Yunze is promoted to a military position, it will really be a big deal. The actions of two generations of emperors to purge the Jia family's influence in the military over the years have become a joke.
But Li Yunze has made great military achievements, and it is impossible not to reward him.
If you don't reward them, it will only chill the hearts of the people in the world, and even make the troops of all walks of life who are already unable to fight even weaker.
"Forget it, since you have achieved military merit, you should be conferred a military title." The emperor squinted, with a hint of chill in his eyes, "Be made a military lord, a champion lord! I hope you will die young like Huo Qubing!"
There is no doubt that this is the emperor's best expectation.
If Li Yunze, after quelling various military disasters, had died inexplicably in his twenties like Huo Qubing, then the emperor would definitely laugh to death.
In terms of title, it's easy to say, but in terms of position, it's troublesome.
It is a rule and a tradition that those who achieve military merit should be transferred to a higher rank. This is a benefit that attracts the attention of military men all over the world.
But if Li Yunze is promoted again, he will have to take back the Jia family's hereditary Jingying Jiedushi.
This was something the emperor could never accept.
Not only was he unacceptable, he was even ready to kick out the current Jingdu Commandery Commander. "Prince Teng is an in-law of the Jia family. He must be captured and allowed to leave the capital to do inspections in the nine provinces."
"The rebellious minister was transferred to a civil service and was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin!"
