Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 31 Imprint
After returning to Fangfei Garden, Li Taiwei's heart was still beating, and he was always concerned about the imprint on the face of the Bodhisattva.

The location of this mark is special, others don't know it, but she knows it.

In her previous life, she heard from her grandmother that before the first emperor ascended the throne, there was a very affectionate first wife, Mrs. Zhu.Coincidentally, there is a plum blossom-shaped mark under the corner of her left eye.

Back then, the first emperor rose up and left his family members in Pingnan.Later, she was reported by the villain, and the married wife died in the troubled times.

The first emperor was heartbroken, and the first imperial decree after ascension to the throne was to posthumously confer the title of Empress Xiaoci on Zhu's family, and hang her portrait in the Taimiao to be worshiped by incense.

Today's empress dowager is considered to be from a famous family, but in the end she bears the status of her successor. Whenever there is a royal sacrifice, she must bow down to the tablet of Empress Xiaoci.

Every year on the festival day of empress Xiaoci, the late emperor ordered the palace to ban meat, food, dance and music to observe the mourning for the late empress.The empress dowager has been dissatisfied with this for many years, and she is especially taboo about the past between the late emperor and the Zhu family.

In the previous life, she received such an "intentional" gift from her, no wonder the queen mother would always give her small shoes to wear.

But Li Taiwei clearly remembered that when she returned from Xiliang, her grandmother handed her this Jade Avalokitesvara to her with great entrustment, but there was no such imprint on her face at that time.

Her grandmother and the queen mother are direct aunts, even for the sake of Zhaohe and her granddaughter, it is absolutely impossible to poke this nest, and make the queen mother unhappy.

Then... it can only be that someone has tampered with it.

They were escorted by Xiliang guards along the way, and each wooden box was affixed with a seal, if it was tampered with, it would definitely be noticed.

Only when entering the capital, when the Xiliang guards return to the court, and when the guards in the capital change their watch, will the seal be removed and the points will be counted.

Yes!

It must be that day at Chenghemen, the time when the carriage was startled!
At that time, the wind and sand were extremely strong, and she had a big fight with Lu Xiao because of a misunderstanding, so she let the gangster take advantage of the loophole!
But who is behind the manipulation to do this trick?Attempting to drive a wedge between the Empress Dowager and the Li family...or even the relationship with Xiliang?
Is the person who did it hidden in the guards of Xiliang, or the guards of the capital?
Li Taiwei felt uneasy, but this incident happened strangely, she couldn't tell others about it right now.After contemplating it intently, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to keep it in my heart and not mention it for the time being.

After a while, the maid came in with sweet soup.

Li Taiwei restrained her thoughts, and said to Dafu:
"Second Young Master suffered a dark loss today, you go to Qiutang Courtyard to see if he is in the mansion? If you have time to find him, by the way, I would like to ask, have my first cousin and sister-in-law returned to the mansion today?"

Dafu traveled quickly, and invited Li Pu in less than a cup of tea.

Li Pu came in with a sullen face. He had just washed up and changed into new clothes.

"Third, why are you asking people to look for me? If you have something to say, hurry up, I have something important to do!"

Li Pu has a long face.

"What? You've lost your face to the Marquis of Changping. What can you do that is more important than your face?"

Mrs. Li glanced at him slightly, and continued to teach:

"Your elder brother really gives me a face!"

"Sneak attack with rotten eggs... tell me what you think?"

"Even if I did it, I would still be caught by someone on the spot... Fortunately, that old bastard kept his wits about him, otherwise where would I put the face of the Zhongyonghou Mansion?"

Li Pu was reprimanded by Li Taiwei with a gun and a stick, a little dazed, stared at Li Taiwei for a while, and then said:

"Third son...why do I see...do you talk so much like a grandmother?...You were not like this before..."

Li Taiwei choked for a moment and was speechless for a moment.

Li Pu continued:
"Brother wanted to give you a shame! You don't know my accuracy..."

"Who knew that kid! He... he is so skilled! He was the one who attacked me!"

"Then Lu Shizi is really powerful! I can't beat him either"

Dafu also nodded in agreement.

Li Taiwei saw that these two people had grown up with other people's ambitions, and his teeth gritted from hatred.

"What? He still dares to fight with you?"

Li Pu stared over suddenly.

Li Taiwei was afraid that Dafu would slip up, so he hurriedly said:
"You still have the nerve to ask! You made a fool of yourself and left as soon as you said, but have you ever thought about how Dafu and I get along?"

When Li Taiwei said this, Li Pu really felt a little guilty.

He was also panicked at the time, holding a pile of rotten eggs on his chest again, and asked that bastard Lu Xiao to push and push, and most of them were torn, soaking his clothes, not to mention, he was told to take a bath several times, but his body No matter how it smells, it still seems to have that smell!
"I……"

Li Pufang wanted to quibble, but was blocked by Li Taiwei.

"How long have you been practicing?"

"If you're not good enough, I don't think you need to practice martial arts anymore. You might as well go to study military books and study the art of warfare. In the future, you can become a military adviser, which is also a way out!"

Li Taiwei's side-by-side remarks really caught Li Pu's eyes.

"Third, what you said... makes sense!"

"I got a military book at the beginning of the year, after observing it, I gained a lot of experience..."

"Third brother! Do you agree with me learning the art of war?"

Li Taiwei touched the tip of her nose.

During the five years when she broke off letters with the Li family in her previous life, she didn't know how this second cousin was tempered.It was only later that the hall brother mentioned that he worshiped Guiguzi as his teacher and devoted himself to the study of "Deceitful Ways". Otherwise, where did he come from, the son Chu of Datian Ting in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

"I don't know if you can succeed, but right now it is better than practicing martial arts. Our Li family ancestors have been scholars for generations, and we are not born as generals. You stole your teacher halfway. I am afraid that you have already missed the best time to practice martial arts. If you run out Hard work can only get twice the result with half the effort."

"However, rather than practicing martial arts, it would be more appropriate to study the art of war and formation... I heard earlier that Guiguzi left a shocking book called "Deceitful Ways". If you are interested, please come back to me Ask your father to find it for you..."

"Besides, if your father and grandmother know that you are willing to study hard, they will definitely praise you a lot. It is better than your sneaky practice all day long!"

Li Pu's handsome face flushed red:

"Third brother, you are really my brother and my confidant!"

"Don't worry... In the future, when my brother is finished learning, you will go up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil..."

"Stop!"

Mrs. Li pouted slightly,
"There's no need to wait for the future...let's talk about what's in front of us!"

"Let me ask you, are you acquainted with the young master of Changsi Qingfu?"

Li Pu was excited about what he was talking about, but he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and stared and said:
"The mansion of Dali Temple Qing Changhai?"

Mrs. Li nodded slightly.

Li Pu scratched his head, thought carefully for a while, and then said:
"I'm a classmate with the third son of the Chang family, Chang Lin, but that kid often hangs out with people from Duanjun Palace, and I don't have much personal relationship with him... Why did you suddenly mention the Chang family?"
