The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 75 The Subordinate Is Reckless

Chapter 75 The subordinate is reckless

According to Daqi's practice, civil and military officials do not have to be on duty before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Li Ling cannot be idle. The Patrol Department is not only in charge of the city protection in the middle of the capital, but also in charge of the public security in the capital.

Therefore, even during the Chinese New Year, there is no time to relax.

On this day, after breakfast, Li Ling and Jing Shu were busy going to the front office to work as directors, while the other went out to work at the Yamen.

As soon as Li Ling walked out of the second door, he saw the doorman hurriedly coming in from outside. Li Ling saw that he was holding a greeting card in his hand and asked: "Who is here to greet you so early?"

The door attendant sent a greeting and replied: "This is Mr. Liu Yunzhiliu from Guanxue. The Marquis is outside the door and said he wants to see the second lady."

Li Ling took the invitation and saw that it was Liu Yunzhi from Jiangnan. His face darkened and he said displeasedly: "There's no need to go to the inner courtyard to tell Madam. I'll go meet this person right away."

The door attendant agreed and bowed back to the door. Li Ling strode out and saw a young man standing outside the door.

"Are you Mr. Liu?" Li Ling stood under the porch and asked.

Hearing this, Liu Yunzhi raised her eyes and saw that the other person had an impressive weapon and was wearing the official uniform of a second-grade general. He then guessed that this person was the eldest son of the Zhenguo Palace, Li Ling, the commander of the city patrol department that Cai Lun had mentioned to him.

.

He looked pale, cupped his hands and said, "I am Liu Yunzhi. Liu was unfortunately in trouble a few days ago. Thanks to Mrs. Shen who rescued me, I came here today to express my gratitude."

Li Ling did not return the gift, but said with a cold face: "My wife has always been kind. Not to mention that Mr. Liu is the teacher of my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law's official school. Even if they are unrelated people, she will come to the rescue. Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry about trivial matters.

that is."

The implication is that if any cat or dog is in trouble, Jingshu will come to help. He is just being sentimental.

Liu Yunzhi couldn't understand the meaning of Li Ling's words. He smiled faintly and said: "General Li has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to seeing life and death. Naturally, he will not worry about such trivial matters. But for me,

Mrs. Shen's move is a great kindness to Liu, and Liu cannot but bear it in her heart."

He paused, looked at Li Ling and continued: "Madam's great kindness, Liu will not only remember it in his heart, but will also remember it in his life."

Hearing him speak like this, Li Lingguang's hands under his sleeves gradually clenched into fists, and he replied coldly: "My wife is busy today and I don't have time to see you. Mr. Liu, please just do it yourself."

After saying that, Li Ling was about to walk away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yunzhi replied calmly and calmly: "It doesn't matter, if Mrs. Shen is busy at the moment, Liu can just wait here for a little longer."

"Sir, please." Although Li Ling was very unhappy, he could stop people from entering the house, but he couldn't stop them from standing outside the door.

He said this angrily, got on his horse, and galloped away with Liang Jin.

After walking for a while, Li Ling suddenly stopped again, turned to Liang Jin and said: "Go back and tell the doorman that it is my order. They are not allowed to send Liu Yunzhi's greeting card to Madam again. He will come again in the future."

, and are never allowed to be sent.”

When Liang Jin was waiting outside the door, he vaguely heard the conversation between the two. He said angrily: "This good guy surnamed Liu doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth. General, I'm going to beat him up right now and then drive him out of the capital."

,how?"

Liang Jinyuan also came from a family of officials for generations, but when his grandfather was an official, he accidentally got involved in the turmoil during Emperor Wu's period. After losing power, the whole family was convicted, and all the adult men were punished and sent to the army.

Liang Jin was originally sent to a remote place in northern Xinjiang to serve as an army. Later, he made many meritorious service in the army and was rarely famous. He was appreciated by Li Ling, so Li Ling transferred him to the city inspection department. Within a few years, he became successful with his ability.

Li Ling's trusted lieutenant.

The experiences he experienced as a young man made Liang Jin develop a taciturn and thoughtful character, never showing off his emotions.

Suddenly hearing his words, Li Ling frowned slightly and looked at Liang Jin in confusion: "What happened to you today?"

Liang Jin quickly clasped his fists and said, "My subordinate was reckless."

Li Ling snorted coldly and said: "He is just a frivolous person who has no power to restrain a chicken. Let's just ignore him. It's not worth it."

Li Ling could tell at a glance what Liu was thinking. A man could not conceal his admiration for a woman, and what was more, Liu's admiration was still his wife.

In terms of selfishness, Li Ling agreed with what Liang Jin said. He really wanted to beat him up. But if he did, it would be really disrespectful.

After all, they just came to thank you.

"I will go back and tell the doorman now." After saying this, Liang Jin turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the way he came.

Li Ling's words "What's wrong with you today?" just now made Liang Jin's usually calm heart suddenly clench violently. Fortunately, he calmly suppressed it again.

Liang Jin held the reins of his horse tightly, and the horse was galloping at full speed. The cold wind in the winter morning could not cool the hot sweat on his forehead.

Jingshu was so busy in the meeting hall that when Xiangwu was about to go back for lunch, the third girl ran in happily from outside. Before she entered the door, she shouted inside: "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, guess who is coming

Already?"

Jingshu stood up, met her and asked, "Who is here? I see you are excited."

The third girl ran to Jingshu. Jingshu took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. The third girl said excitedly to her: "Mr. Liu is here. I was just about to go out. When I arrived at the gate, I happened to meet Mr. Liu at the door.

Waiting outside."

Jingshu asked: "Why are you asking people to wait outside the door? Please invite them in quickly."

The third girl said: "I have invited Mr. Liu to the living room." As she said that, she couldn't help but curled her lips and said: "Mr. Liu has been waiting outside the door all morning, and no one came in to announce it.

I was so angry that I scolded the door attendant. The person on the door actually said that he had come in early in the morning to send the message, and that it was the second brother who had stopped the invitation. He also said that the second brother had told them not to let Mr. Liu in."

After saying that, the third girl couldn't help complaining to Li Ling and said: "How can the second brother be so rude to Mr. Liu? It's really outrageous. Second sister-in-law, you have to talk to him properly when you go back."

Li Ling went too far.

Jing Shu thought to herself, but still couldn't help but try to make up for Li Ling: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here."

With that said, she took the third girl and walked out: "Let's go, since Mr. Liu is here, let's go and see him."

Liu Yunzhi drank the northwest wind outside the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion all morning, and was invited into the living room by the third girl to drink two cups of hot tea before she warmed up.

Jingshu took the three girls into the living room and met Liu Yunzhi. She saluted and said, "I don't know if Mr. Liu is here to visit, but I am sorry for the delay. I hope you can forgive me."

Liu Yunzhi stood up and replied: "Liu paid an unexpected visit. I hope Madam won't be offended."

A few people sat down and Liu Yunzhi said: "A few days ago, Liu was injured by a slave from Prince Jian's palace. Thank you Madam and Third Miss for your generous rescue."

Mentioning this issue, the third girl said angrily: "It's really hateful that this slave bullies others with his power. The slaves are committing crimes outside because the master is not strict in controlling them. Those civil servants who are always ready to remonstrate have become mute now.

This is what Prince Jian’s residence looks like.”

Seeing the three girls' indignant expressions, Jing Shu smiled at Liu Yunzhi and said, "My sister-in-law spoke freely and made the gentleman laugh."

Liu Yunzhi laughed, and said cheerfully to the three girls: "Jin Yan has a clear understanding of love and hate, but she is similar to her teacher."

The third girl didn't feel shy when the teacher praised her. She took the opportunity to say straightforwardly: "Sir, why don't you give me a copy of your poetry collection as a reward."

Liu Yunzhi heard this and replied: "You have to write a poem that satisfies my teacher before I can give it to you."

Hearing this, the third girl immediately shrank. Jingshu looked at her and said with a smile: "You should learn from your husband. If you learn well, he will naturally show you his kindness."

Liu Yunzhi nodded, then took out a book from his sleeve pocket and said to Jingshu: "Madam, I am very grateful for your help. This is a travel diary written by Liu over the years when I traveled all over the world. I gave it to Madam to read."

Watching it relieves my boredom, I hope Madam won’t find it objectionable.”

"I am just a piece of cake, sir, you don't have to worry about it." As she said that, Jingshu took the book that Liu Yunzhi held over her, took it in her hand and looked through it, and said in surprise: "Sir, you have traveled to so many places."

Liu Yunzhi replied: "Liu has no official position and is light-weight. He is a leisurely person. He likes to look around when he has nothing to do."

This book not only records the style of Daqi, but also details the appearance and customs of the countries surrounding Daqi.

Jingshu closed the book, handed it to Liu Yunzhi again, and replied: "This book is a reflection of your hard work, and I cannot accept it."

Liu Yunzhi did not reach out to pick it up, but said with a smile: "A little kindness is not a sign of respect. Madam, just keep it. It should be regarded as a thank-you gift from Liu to Madam for saving her."

Since Liu Yunzhi said this, Jing Shu couldn't refuse anymore. She accepted the travel notes and replied: "In this case, I will accept the concubine. Thank you sir."
