After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 135: An old friend comes, the wedding date is coming

A house in the alley.

Ji Li had a gloomy face and was writing at his desk.

After writing the last stroke, he threw the pen and the book into the next yard.

Ever since he met Xiao Yinhu, he has been having bad luck all the time, either falling into a dry well or being thrown into a wall. Later on, he even had to face the shame of being naked... As the most handsome guard, he actually had so many dark histories.

He is so angry!

He used a copper coin to tell his fortune.

"Flowers are blooming in the south of the city, and old friends are coming, yo."

Ji Li raised his eyebrows, grabbed the coin, and cast a hexagram again. After interpreting the hexagram on the table, he smiled meaningfully.

"It's Si Snake, the most vicious and cold-blooded guy among the Twelve Guards. If I remember correctly, Si Snake and Li Haiya seem to have had a lot of conflicts."

"Well, the son pays the father's debt. Little Tiger will pay Big Tiger's debt. Fair, fair!"

Ji Li grabbed the hat on the table and put it on his head, then took the Feng Shui compass and folding fan, and walked out of the yard, one in each hand.

Nanny Wan had just finished buying groceries and saw him and said, "Master Ji, are you going out?"

Ji Li smiled and said, "Go pick up an old friend and bring him home as a guest."

……

On the tenth day of April, it was Yu Li's first ten-day holiday. Marquis Anyuan was not available, and Xie Yan entered the Hanlin Academy. He went to visit Xie Yan's immediate superior, Kong Bianxiu.

Yu also went there and sent the housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion to the Imperial College to pick up Yu Li, but of course he did not pick him up.

Meng Qianqian also went to the Imperial College and brought snacks made by Madam Du to Yu Li and Master Lin.

When Yu Li heard that it was his cousin, he went to the door immediately, and Master Lin went with him.

When he saw another figure standing next to Meng Qianqian, Master Lin was stunned as if he had seen a ghost: "Lin Xiaoru! You, you, you...you went out?"

Lin Xiaoru said: "Yes."

Master Lin held his head, looked at her, and then looked at the jar she was holding in her arms: "Is this... for me?"

"For you and Mr. Yu." Lin Xiaoru handed him the jar.

Master Lin was so excited that he almost cried: "So my brother is so important in your heart..."

Lin Xiaoru said, "I got it for Miss Meng."

Master Lin hesitated: "Ah?"

Lin Xiaoru explained: "Miss Meng asked me to go to the market. The Imperial College is very close to both of our families, so we agreed to meet here."

Master Lin looked ashen: "Bai is too excited."

"My cousin."

"My sister."

Meng Qianqian and Master Lin introduced the two to each other.

Although Yu Li had been to the Lin family, he had never met Lin Xiaoru.

Yu Li bowed and saluted: "Miss Lin."

Lin Xiaoru returned the greeting: "Master Yu."

Meng Qianqian asked about Yu Li's situation in the Imperial College, asking about every detail, just like a little parent.

Knowing that Yu Li was fine, Meng Qianqian felt relieved and solemnly thanked Master Lin for his care for Yu Li.

Master Lin scratched his head and smiled: "Friends, that's the way it should be."

Meng Xiaojiu thanked him! Meng Xiaojiu thanked him!

Lin Xiaoru: "Brother, you are blushing."

Master Lin was furious, you little bitch! You will die if you don't destroy your brother's trick!

Meng Qianqian brought three jars in total. After giving the other two jars to the two of them, she and Lin Xiaoru got on a carriage and went to the market.

Lin Xiaoru said that there were many good things in the markets of the capital, but they were a bit dirty and messy, and you would occasionally encounter unreasonable people.

Meng Qianqian is not afraid of this.

Because her fists are very reasonable.

Master Lin walked towards the Imperial College holding the jars. There were three jars, and he held two of them. "Yu Li, you've been admitted to the Imperial College. What do you want to do most now?"

Yu Li said: "Study hard, and strive to pass the imperial examination in three years, so that you can support your cousin."

"Hmm...huh?"

It sounded reasonable at first. After all, there are few students who come to the Imperial College who don't want to make a name for themselves. But...what's the matter with supporting his cousin?

"Are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding. My cousin's situation is a little special. You don't understand it."

The Meng family married her second cousin far away. If she doesn't work harder, if her cousin gets bullied by her husband's family in the future, there will be no one to support her.

Young Master Lin’s expression is hard to describe.

Do you know what you are talking about?

You are the one who doesn't understand her, right? She is Meng Xiaojiu!

Young Master Lin said, "Meng Xiaojiu is a name that can make her walk sideways in the capital. If she stumbles, General Zhang will bring the soldiers at the border to flatten the entire street!"

Yu Li asked, "Who is Meng Xiaojiu?"

Young Master Lin looked at his clear and foolish eyes and said, "You really don't know..."

On the carriage.

Lin Xiaoru said to Meng Qianqian: "Miss Meng, thank you for finding the fragments of the Feng Shui book for me. I like that book very much. I thought I would never be able to find the whole book in this lifetime."

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

It was just a picture of Ji Li's bare butt on a moonlit night.

Lin Xiaoru added: "The ink is new, it seems that it was written not long ago."

Meng Qianqian choked: "Ahem! It was copied by the people in the study. They copied many books that day."

Lin Xiaoru gently flipped through the book in her hand: "It's a really good copy, just like the original."

……

As the wedding date draws closer, Nanny Li becomes busier and busier. Although she doesn't make it public, she still has to prepare everything. She puts up wedding characters, hangs up red lanterns, and displays the roses and peonies in the yard one by one.

Baoshu wanted to yell at Huahua several times, but she held back.

It’s really not easy to hold back your emotions at an age when you can’t even hold your urine.

Nanny Li was directing Wu Ge'er to take down the last octagonal lantern.

"Keep this."

Meng Qianqian said.

Madam Li said, "Miss, this lamp is too old. It's time to replace it with a new one."

Meng Qianqian looked at the octagonal lamp swaying in the wind under the corridor. It was exactly the same as the one Yinhu had painted in the cave, the only difference was that it did not have the few lines of words she had written on it.

Tan Er said: "Sister likes it so much, she stares at it for a long time every day!"

Madam Li thought for a moment and said, "Since the young lady likes it, then keep it. I'll take it down, wash it, and then hang it up again."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

They have bought quite a lot of things recently, and it's fortunate that they live in an alley full of haunted houses, otherwise the news would have leaked out long ago.

Meng Qianqian sent invitations to Grandma Feng and Carpenter Lei, inviting them to attend her wedding banquet at the Governor's Mansion as guests of her mother's family.

Grandma Feng agreed.

Carpenter Lei said impatiently: "I have to go out of town for a few days, and I may not be able to come back in time."

Meng Qianqian originally planned to invite Ji Li as well, but he went out and never came back, so Meng Qianqian left the invitation on his desk.

But there was still no news about the wedding dress, and Nanny Li was a little anxious: "Isn't it ready yet? Maybe on the day of the wedding..."

Meng Qianqian was very calm: "Mammy, don't worry, the person introduced by Manager Cen will not make any mistakes."

Nanny Li said, "That being said...if the size is not suitable, it needs to be altered, which requires effort, right? We can't just wait until the day of the wedding to send the wedding dress over."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't you have a spare set?"

"That's different!"

Nanny Li stood up and said, "I'm going to the Governor's Mansion to ask Steward Cen!"

On April 14, Yun Xiyao, who had been in seclusion for more than a month, finally finished embroidering the last stitch.
