190. Chapter 190

After a while, the bartender brought the wine and food. Di Yan snatched the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "You spent money to buy a hairpin for me. I can't thank you, so I'll give you a glass of wine!"

"good!"

Li Zhen picked up the wine glass and clinked her glass. After drinking it all, Di Yan also drank a glass of wine. A touch of redness appeared on her pretty face. Li Zhen poured wine for her again, but she pushed it away with difficulty, "I will only drink one cup, you drink it yourself, I will drink tea with you."

She rushed to fill herself with a cup of tea. I don’t know if the hairpin was effective or the wine was drunk. Di Yan was in her heart because Li Zhen did not come to see her in time yesterday. She smiled and said, “Since she has become the leader of the inner guard, there must be many interesting cases in her hands. Let’s talk about it, I am willing to help you solve the case for free!”

Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I am not an inner guard of Dali Temple, so where is there any case in my hand?"

During the New Year, Di Yan heard her father talk about a lot of cases he had when he was young, which made her feel itchy. She hoped that Li Zhen would have several difficult cases, so that she could show her skills.

Her eyes rolled and she smiled, "Although you are not Dali Temple, the female emperor will not raise a bunch of idle people, right!"

Li Zhen understood her meaning. In fact, the rules of the inner guard are not that strict. Some errands are not enough, so they will find some heroes with high martial arts skills to help. Di Yan follows her through life and death. If she is left idle, she will also cause trouble.

"Then we agreed that you are not allowed to act willful and obey my arrangements!"

Di Yan was overjoyed, "I'll just listen to you. Tell me quickly, what's the best job?"

She was so bored in Pengze that she was looking forward to running back to Luoyang to explore with Li Zhen, so she talked to her grandmother about polo competitions every day. In the end, the old lady couldn't help it and shouted that she would go back to Beijing to watch polo competitions all day long. Di Renjie had no choice but to ask her to escort the old lady back to Beijing first.

Li Zhen drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "It's really okay these days. I'm going to participate in the martial arts rushing and cavalry the day after tomorrow. Why don't you come and cheer me!"

"Isn't it really okay?" Di Yan's eyes showed disappointment, "Okay! Your martial arts are also very important." She took a sip of tea, still a little unwilling to accept it.

After lunch, Li Zhen sent Di Yan back to the mansion. The two agreed to meet next time. Li Zhen said another inappropriate words, and Di Yan blushed and then he ran away with a smile.

After leaving Di Mansion, Li Zhen looked up at the sky and felt that the world was so wide and life was so wonderful. At this moment, a trace of depression was gone in his heart for a long time. He almost wanted to shout at the top of his throat.

Li Zhen turned his horse on his back and whipped the war horse hard. The war horse ran towards Quanshanfang.

.........

Back at the official office of Guanshanfang, Li Zhen sat in his official room restlessly, his mind was filled with Di Yan's figure. Thinking of the past experiences of going to trouble with her, he couldn't help but feel tender. At this time, a woman's chuck came from outside the door, which immediately woke Li Zhen up from his chaotic thoughts. He sat upright embarrassedly and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

The door was not closed tightly, Zhao Qiuniang pushed the door and walked in. She came to find Li Zhen twice. Seeing that Li Zhen had been immersed in a daze, it took half an hour for Zhao Qiuniang to learn from Li Quan that Di Yan had returned, and what her commander thought about just now must be the lively and beautiful Miss Di.

Zhao Qiuniang held back her laughter and stepped forward to salute, "See the commander!"

"Is there anything wrong?"

"It was the last time the servant ordered."

Zhao Qiuniang placed an investigation report on Li Zhen’s desk, “This is a express sent by Captain Lu from the room. It seems that some secrets of King Luling were found. Please check it out.”

Li Zhen took the report and flipped it. It was nothing more than Li Xian's private relationship with famous nobles in Fangzhou. Although Li Zhen knew that this was a taboo, Li Xian was too careless, but he was not interested in Li Xian now. After thinking about it, he handed the report to Zhao Qiuniang, "You go to the palace to give it to the servants!"

Zhao Qiuniang hesitated for a moment. She asked her to send this important report to her. If Shangguan Sheren wanted to discuss with others, how would she deal with it? She whispered: "But Shangguan Sheren might have to discuss with the commander."

Li Zhen felt annoyed. The person he didn't want to see now was Shangguan Wan'er. He sent the report to Zhao Qiuniang and said impatiently: "You send it here first. If she asks, she will say that I will participate in the martial arts competition soon and cannot be distracted. I will discuss it with her another day."

Zhao Qiuniang knew in her heart that she shook her head secretly and had to take the report and retreat. Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little upset. He suddenly closed the door, kicked it up, and kicked it hard at the chair.

...........

Shangguan Wan'er took the report from Zhao Qiuniang, opened it and looked carefully, and her eyebrows were frowned slightly from time to time. The report said that Li Xian lived cautiously and did not dare to have any more than the rules. However, his wife Wei held a Shangyuan Lantern Festival in her mansion, and invited the ladies of famous families and nobles in Fangzhou to Luling Palace to enjoy the lanterns, which caused a lot of controversy in Fangzhou.

This Weishi is too unreasonable. If someone uses this matter to write a book and says that Li Xian uses his wife to make friends with the powerful and wealthy people in Fangzhou, and his plans are ill-intentioned, Li Xian will be in trouble, and Shangguan Wan'er throws away the report in anger.

Among Wu Zetian's sons, she only liked Li Xian more, but he was too afraid of inner self and cowardly, which made Shangguan Wan'er very dissatisfied. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone else in Fangzhou except ours?"

"This... I don't know about it!" Zhao Qiuniang whispered. She really couldn't answer this question.

"Where is Li Zhen, why didn't he come to see me?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with some displeasure.

Zhao Qiuniang was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Di is back today, and he is accompanying Miss Di."

Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "Oh--" and stopped asking. She picked up the report again and looked at it for a moment with some restlessness. She suddenly rolled up the report and said to Zhao Qiuniang: "Tell Commander Li and let him come to see me tomorrow morning, and say I have something important to discuss with him."

Zhao Qiuniang stepped down, Shangguan Wan'er gently stroked the pen on the table, but didn't know what she was thinking. After a long time, she sighed softly, opened another script, and began to review it with all her attention.

...

At night, Li Zhen returned home and saw that the house was brightly lit and there were more than a dozen boxes of big and small in the yard. Only then did Li Zhen remember that Cao Wen was about to set off for office tomorrow. At this time, a thin figure slowly walked into the corridor. It was Meng, the eldest sister's mother-in-law. She was overly excited these two days. Her son passed the imperial examination and became the county magistrate. This was like the smoke from the Cao family's ancestral tomb.

Of course, Meng also wanted to take office with her son and live the official role of the old lady in the county. However, her wife had to stay in Luoyang, so she could not follow her and could only live in Luoyang honestly, which made her feel really unwilling.

Meng looked up and happened to see Li Zhen. In this family, the person she hated the most was Li Zhen, and the person she feared the most was Li Zhen. She cursed softly, then turned around and walked towards her yard. Every time she saw Li Zhen, she was like a mouse and saw a cat, slipping away at the fastest speed and hiding back to her room.

There is no reason, nor is there any reason. She just fears Li Zhen from the bottom of her bones. Since Li Zhen humiliated the old Hanoi who was once as high as a god, her fear of Li Zhen has taken root.

Li Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he quickly walked towards his yard. As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he heard the eldest sister's voice, "Is it A Zhen? Come here first."

Li Zhen originally didn't want to see Cao Wen again, but his eldest sister didn't let him go. He had no choice but to turn around and walk slowly towards the lobby. In the lobby, Cao Wen was sitting at the small table drinking. Li Quan sat aside with Xiu'er in her arms, explaining something to him.

Cao Wen's heart flew to wherever he had gone, and his wife didn't listen to a word of advice. Instead, Xiu'er wanted to grab his wine glass from time to time, which made him very annoyed.

Since Li Quan adopted Xiu'er, Cao Wen was Xiu'er's father. However, Cao Wen really hated this little girl and didn't know where the wild girl came from, so he actually brought it back and didn't discuss it with him. Of course, Cao Wen knew that this was the little girl Li Zhen brought back, which made him even more hated.

At this time, Xiu'er quietly grabbed his wine glass again, with a naughty smile on her face. Cao Wen could no longer help but patted her delicate little hand heavily. Xiu'er suddenly burst into tears. Cao Wen turned around and said angrily to Li Quan: "How did you take care of the child? You always bother me!"

Li Quan was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered her head to coax Xiu'er. She felt a little unhappy. Her husband was not like this before. He was as gentle as a sheep. Since he passed the Jinshi exam, he has been flirting with him. However, he thought that his husband would take office tomorrow, so she resisted his dissatisfaction and did not respond to him.

At this time, Li Zhen walked in quickly. He nodded to Cao Wen lightly, and asked his eldest sister again, "Sister, have something to do with me?"

Li Quan originally wanted his brother to talk to his husband and teach him how to be an official. After all, his brother has been in the officialdom for a longer time and knows a little bit of human nature than his husband. But now, she was scolded by her husband and she was not in the mood.

Li Quan forced a smile and asked Li Zhen: "I just want to ask if you have eaten?"

"I've eaten it, sister, I'll write a report and go back to the room first!"

"Yeah...go!"

Li Quan also found that the brother and husband had not spoken for a long time. They didn't even say hello, but she didn't know what happened. She asked them two days ago that they all said it was okay. Later, Li Quan thought smartly and thought that it was Li Zhen and Wu Sansi had a bad relationship, so she ignored her brother-in-law. She tried her best to reconcile the relationship between them, but neither of them appreciated it, so she had to give up.

Li Zhen walked away, Li Quan shook his head helplessly, looked at her husband again, she bit her lips gently, and whispered: "Husband, it's too late, I'll set off tomorrow before dawn, let's take a break soon!"

Cao Wen stood up, walked towards the study room, and said a sentence from afar, "I will consider the policy strategy tonight. I will sleep in the study room, you can go and rest yourself!"

Li Quan looked at her husband walking away without looking back. Li Quan couldn't help but feel angry. How could he treat him like this!
