The cold wind outside was covered with snowflakes, and the sound made him feel cold, but his heart was burning hot, and the flowers and leaves were more lush than April in Jiangnan.
Before dinner, Jing Daguo first told Xu Jian the progress of Laoshi Lane.
"Everything has been repaired outside, but it's snowing these past few days and I've been busy decorating it inside."
"Fortunately, the walls inside and outside were painted early and have dried thoroughly, so there is no need to worry about the weather."
"I asked officials from Shuntian Prefecture to check it out in the alley, and they were very satisfied with our workmanship."
"Dong Chen's family visited so many poetry societies and discovered many good ideas."
……
After explaining the serious matters, Jing Dafeng's face that was barely serious could not help but smile like Maitreya Buddha.
Aunt He’s family brought a hot dinner, which was full of aroma.
Jing Dafan's appetite was so great that he drank several cups of hot wine from his cup.
Xu Jian finished it by himself, put down his chopsticks, and did not leave the table, just listened to Jing Daduan's chatter after drinking too much.
"The princess is interesting, every smile is funny, and she also understands the truth, everything is clear."
"Men, you have to be obedient. It is only right to listen to your wife. You will not be ashamed no matter where you say it."
"I think I am still willing to listen to the princess. If I ask you not to take the stairs, you will not go to the second floor. If you are told not to freeze, you will hold a hand stove."
"What are you raking your ears for? Those who rake their ears will have a harmonious family, and everything will be prosperous if they are harmonious!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you still have so many uses for me, Lao Jing, I would also like to ask my wife to read a few sentences at home to amuse my grandchildren!"
"Children are so interesting. When you become a father in the future, you will understand when you see that soft and waxy little one."
"When the time comes, I will tell you about the Baby Sutra."
"The old man has knowledge, so he can rest assured."
Xuan Su and Shen Chen stood not far away. You looked at me and I looked at you, both of them were a little confused.
How much did the Jingdong family drink?
How can it be so easy to break up?
Xuan Su glanced at Xu Jian quietly.
Xu Jian leaned back on the wide chair back with thick pillows, and his posture was relaxed.
The eyelids were lowered, covering the strong emotion in the dark eyes.
But according to Xuansu, their master didn't seem to care about the Jingdong family's nagging, and he wasn't unhappy at all.
On the contrary, it’s like listening to a play and having a little fun?
Xuan Su glanced at Shen Chen again.
Don't tell me, he really wants to laugh, but he doesn't dare.
The oil lamp dimmed.
Xu Jian didn't let anyone else do it. She got up and plucked the wick with scissors.
He doesn't know whether children are interesting or not.
However, Jing Daduan is quite right when he says that the little princess is really interesting.
The snow outside continued until early morning.
In the court room, all the elderly ministers could not bear the weather and couldn't help rubbing their hands.
"The charcoal basin is not prosperous enough."
"Just wait for a while, that's all."
"Is it almost time?"
Liu Jing stood in the corner.
He was young and not afraid of the cold. When he heard the old men shouting about the cold, he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jian.
Xu Jian was in another corner, clearly separate from him, and made it clear that he did not want to interact with her.
Normally, Liu Jing would not have wanted to go out of his way to get involved.
But An Yibo's words that day still ring in my ears.
Xu Jian has a leg injury, and it will definitely hurt when the weather gets cold.
Liu Jing actually couldn't tell.
Just look at Xu Jian's standing posture, which is very straight and straight, and it doesn't look like her legs and feet are uncomfortable at all.
Occasionally, Liu Jing also guessed that maybe Xu Jian's injury was a cover. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what Xu Jian wanted to cover up, why it was necessary, and what results he wanted, so he gave up on the idea.
Today, Liu Jing had to pay attention.
Of course, what happened outside Honglu Temple after he left came to his ears afterwards.
Every word An Yibo said and the officials' discussions lingered in Liu Jing's ears.
He is reflecting.
He had to be thorough in his actions, and he was indeed not thorough enough, so much so that he was picked up by his pigtails and analyzed, and after analysis, he came up with the result that "Master Liu has no intention of assisting the Duke at all".
This is of course true.
Liu Jing himself knew everything.
If there was a father-son relationship between him and Xu Jian, Liu Jing himself would not believe it, let alone Xu Jian.
But it doesn't matter if Xu Jian doesn't believe it. What Liu Jing wants is someone else, and his colleagues believe him.
He, Liu Jingde, is a father who works hard to repair relationships, while Xu Jian is the son who is indifferent and doesn't care about how to write the word filial piety.
Liu Jing has been busy with Xun'er's big things in the past few days, and Liu Jing can't find time to deal with this.
After letting Xiao Ding go yesterday, he finally had his hands free.
The first step is to start caring about Xu Jian’s leg injury.
Among them, there is a more important point.
What is going on between Xu Jian and Princess Ning'an?
The thoughts that popped up in my mind that day still haven’t dissipated.
Sometimes I think it’s nine out of ten, and sometimes I think it’s absolutely impossible.
No matter what, he had to dig out a few truths from Xu Jian's mouth.
With this in mind, Liu Jing took a step forward and walked through the entire court room towards Xu Jian.
Xu Jian is closing his eyes to rest.
He can't see with his eyes, but his mind is focused. No matter what movement is happening around him, he can't escape his ears.
He was keenly aware that someone was coming this way.
And the sound of footsteps...
Slowly opening his eyes, what poured out of his eyes was the icy coldness, which fell directly on Liu Jing so coldly.
Suddenly, the hair on the back of Liu Jing’s neck stood up.
He did not expect that Xu Jian would suddenly open his eyes, nor did he expect that such a cold gaze would be directed at him.
What made Liu Jing even more terrified was that Xu Jian actually laughed.
It seems like that can’t be called a laugh.
His lips were pursed, with only one corner of his lips slightly curved upwards. There was no smile in that curve, only mockery and sarcasm.
It was as if he had seen through his purpose.
Liu Jing's footsteps were frozen in place, and a voice in his heart kept telling him not to take another step forward.
If he continued to walk up to Xu Jian and spoke according to the planned words, he would definitely not get any benefit.
Not only are there no good things, there are also probably a lot of bad ones.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Of course Liu Jing has to follow his own instinct.
However, he is not willing to give in.
He is the father and I, how can I scare the kid away with just one look?
What kind of words does this sound like!
Taking a deep breath, Liu Jing vacillated for a while between facing up to difficulties and following the good path...
"My lords, the time has come and it's time to go to court." The chamberlain shouted outside the court room.
Everyone cheered up when they heard the sound and straightened up their appearance.
The Dukes, Lords and Uncles who were in front of the queue, along with the three princes and three orphans, walked quickly.
Xu Jian withdrew her gaze and went out.
When Liu Jing saw Xu Jian leaving, An Yibo followed him and patted him on the back. The two of them didn't know what they said. The atmosphere was very harmonious, which made Liu Jing frown.
His instinct once again told him that there must be nothing good going on!
