Chapter 53: Consolation
After Yun Yi wrote these four words, he clicked it and wiped off the water stains on the table with a handkerchief.
Next, it was Zhao Mujin's business. Yun Yi who could help basically helped. For someone who had only met twice, Yun Yi was so kind and righteous, although Zhao Mujin's identity was extraordinary.
Hu Yanzhuo did not need Yun Yi's reminder, and had already noticed the seriousness of the matter. He stood up and bowed with fists, and couldn't wait to run out of the Taohua House. Before leaving the door, he turned around solemnly and bowed to Yun Yi: "I rarely admire anyone in my life, Mr. Yun is one!"
Yun Yi was stunned and smiled.
As noon approached, the gate of the courtyard was knocked.
Qiuniang was busy in the kitchen. Seeing that she was about to come out to open the door, Yun Yi waved her hand, got up and walked behind the door.
It was the meal time, and Yun Yi thought it was Hu Yanzhuo who had returned.
A squeak.
As Yun Yi looked at the head, the person knocking on the door was already speaking.
"My nephew, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much."
It turned out to be the handsome old guy Li Gefei, followed by Brother Guangsheng. When he saw Yun Yi, both the master and the servant smiled.
Li Gefei had not taken off his court uniform yet. He probably had just finished the court and rushed over before he had time to go home.
Brother Guangsheng was holding a few oil paper bags in his hand, and Yun Yi smelled the fragrance of braised pork.
Li Gefei smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I can go to you to drink, just the kind I drank last time, haha!"
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Li, are you here? What kind of food do you bring yourself... Hurry, please come inside."
Li Gefei waved to Guangsheng, and Guangsheng handed him the oil paper bag, and he left it at the door.
Seeing this, Yun Yi didn't invite Guangsheng to join. The concept of class cannot be easily changed by himself.
However, he still took the initiative to reach out and snatch the oil-paper bag from Li Gefei's hand. He couldn't really let Li Gefei carry it himself.
On the stone table, Qiu Niang had already prepared two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, white-cut chicken and a portion of water tofu. She had no appetite in summer, so Yun Yi asked the little girl to make a few cold dishes.
Seeing Li Gefei coming, Qiu Niang quickly brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and respectfully praised Li Gefei for his blessing.
After taking the seats in different sessions, Yun Yi personally took a bottle of wine from the front hall.
The white porcelain bottle has been torn off by him. When he unscrewed the bottle cap, the yard has a lingering fragrance of wine...
As a Shandong native, Li Gefei is just fine. However, today, he seemed to have something else to worry about. After taking a sip of wine, he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. He looked up from time to time to look at Yun Yi.
Yun Yi was thinking about whether to ask Qiu Niang to ask Zhao Mujin to have a meal together. Seeing this, he said curiously: "What, does it taste wrong?"
Yun Yi doesn't like drinking very much, so he can't tell whether the wine is good or not or not. When he saw Li Gefei's expression was disgusting, he thought he had bought a fake Moutai.
Li Gefei shook his head, smeared the wine in the glass, sighed quietly, and said, "Nephew, I'm actually here today, I'm asking for something."
Before Yun Yi could put a mouthful of food in his mouth, he was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself: Could it be that King Duan or King Jian asked Li Gefei to plead with him? It's impossible. If these two people were so powerful, the Song Dynasty would not have become the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.
Seeing Yun Yi silent, Li Gefei smacked his lips and said helplessly: "Nannan has been locked in the room by her mother for several days. This girl has a temper like her mother. She is stubborn and stubborn. She was locked up for two days and actually started a hunger strike. Alas..."
"Miss Li is having a hunger strike?"
Yun Yi was stunned, not expecting that the number one talented woman in the ages would have such a willful side.
But why did she go on a hunger strike?
Yun Yi looked at Li Gefei, who smiled bitterly and said, "This is a mess. I don't know how to deal with it. I have been a child since I was a child. Seeing her face getting paler, I felt so uncomfortable that I went to persuade your aunt. Unexpectedly, I was scolded and blamed for spoiling my daughter too much. You said, there is no father in the world who doesn't love her daughter."
Speaking of this, perhaps it was really depressed. Li Gefei took the wine pot on his own, poured a full cup, and drank it all.
After squirting out a bit of alcohol, he continued, "I can see that the mother and daughter were sent by God to torture me. I really have no choice but to have your aunt. If she doesn't let go, Nannan will not be able to leave... Alas, for the sake of this, I can only find a way to let Nannan eat something. I can't watch my daughter starve to death with my own eyes."
Yun Yi nodded repeatedly. He felt very distressed when he learned that Li Qingzhao had a hunger strike and became a mess, but at the same time he found it funny. He didn't expect that the most talented woman in the ages would have such interesting anecdotes.
Li Gefei kept looking at Yun Yi when he was talking. Seeing that Yun Yi frowned unconsciously when he heard his daughter's hunger strike. He felt relieved in his heart. Then, he said, "Uncle Li doesn't make you embarrassed, just want you to persuade her, this girl..."
“Hey, wait.”
Yun Yi suddenly reached out to interrupt Li Gefei and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Li is joking, what can I do? Besides, even if you really want to find someone to comfort Miss Li, you should go to Mr. Zhao."
Li Gefei opened his mouth, frowned slowly with his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Have you heard any rumors?"
"What rumors?"
"Why did the nephew suddenly mention Zhao, the boy of the Zhao family?"
Li Gefei thought Yun Yi had heard some news, and at this time he refused to avoid suspicion. At the same time, he felt helpless. He could understand his wife's good intentions, but why did the things that had not been mentioned in the eight characters all over the city know? It is no wonder that his daughter got angry.
Yun Yi didn't know how to explain it, so he couldn't say that Li Qingzhao should marry Zhao Mingcheng. That's how the history books were written.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Gefei did not hide it and said bitterly: "Your aunt has plans to let Nannan marry into the Zhao family, but it's hard to say. Besides, Nannan doesn't want to, otherwise she wouldn't write it to you... out of context!"
Speaking of this, Li Gefei simply said it straight away.
He said, "I am just such a daughter. I love her and spoil her. As long as it is her decision, I will support her. Although my nephew is alone, after getting along several times, I have a little more understanding of my nephew. In terms of talent, the boy of the Zhao family is not as good as you. In terms of human nature, he can't match your finger. As long as I am not blind, I still know how to choose!"
"Uh...Uncle Li, why did you say this very well? Me, I..." Yun Yi was a little surprised.
Li Gefei pulled him up in a hurry: "Okay, okay, don't let me say it, I won't say it. Now I'll ask you something to ask Nannan to eat. If you continue to hunger, something will really happen. You can follow me quickly."
After saying that, he pulled Yun Yi and walked towards the door.
Yun Yi looked helpless and could only let him pull him away. He turned around and shouted to the kitchen: "Qiu Niang, I'll go out, you have a good time."
When Qiu Niang ran out of the kitchen, Yun Yi had already been pulled into the carriage by Li Gefei. The little girl looked cute and didn't know what was going on.
