The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 481: Meeting Zhao Junhuan in Cao Zhu's Mansion

Everyone worked very efficiently and before long they had prepared two large tables full of food. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of food.

Lin Xi's family, Daya's kids, and Damazi's mother sat around one table, and the Bai family sat at another table. Everyone was a little hungry, so they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating. They ate very quickly and kept saying it was delicious.

"Mom, this is the spiritual fruit wine that Little Turtle just brewed. Please try it. It tastes delicious."

Seeing that Cao was still a little tense, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea and took out a bottle of fruit wine from the boundary bead, filled it for her, and said with a smile.

"Sister, I want to drink too!"

Little An, who was sitting next to Lin Xi, smelled the fruity aroma, twitched his cute little nose, picked up the porcelain cup, moved closer to the wine bottle in Lin Xi's hand, and said impatiently as he licked it.

"Okay, I'll pour you a cup. This is good for your health."

Lin Xi said as he filled the porcelain cup in his hand.

"Wow! It tastes delicious! Sister, I want more!"

Xiao An'er tilted his head back and drank the wine in a few gulps. He then handed the empty glass to Lin Xi and winked at Lin Ping and others.

"Is it so delicious? Sister, how about I try it too?"

"Little sister, pour a glass for big brother too!"

"I'll try it too!"

"And me, and me!"

Seeing this, the people at Lin Xi's table picked up their wine glasses and came over.

Lin Xi smiled and accepted everyone who came. Then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he took out two bottles of fruit wine from the boundary bead and poured them wine.

"Dad, use a big bowl!"

Lin Xi looked at the big bowl in Lin Dayong's hand, then at the porcelain bottle in his own hand, shook his head with amusement, took out a big jar directly from the boundary bead, put it in front of Lin Dayong and said: "Dad, these are all, this jar is all for you! The remaining bottles are for everyone to try."

After saying that, he gave the remaining bottles to Baiji's table.

Seeing this, Lin Dayong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly poured himself a big bowl. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual power surged to his limbs and bones, and he exclaimed that it was so enjoyable.

"Good daddy, give me some!"

Xiao Aner rolled his eyes, took out a small bowl from the space ring, ran to Lin Dayong, and said in a flattering manner.

"No! I want to keep these to drink slowly! Just try them as a kid, don't drink too much!"

Lin Dayong quickly put the jar into the space ring and said seriously.

"Mom, please ask Dad to give us some!"

Seeing this, Xiao An'er pouted and squeezed closer to Cao, shaking her arm and acting coquettishly.

"Aunt Cao, this wine is delicious. Ask Uncle Dayong to give us some more. One glass per person, just one glass!"

Yuanyuan finished the fruit wine in the glass, raised her red little face, stretched out a finger, and smiled sweetly at Cao.

"You, stop teasing the kids and take out the wine to share with everyone!"

Cao touched Xiao An'er's head, then looked at the people at the table who were staring at her eagerly, glared at Lin Dayong, and said with a smile.

"Now that my wife has spoken, let's drink this wine together!"

Lin Dayong coughed, took out the jar, and said cheerfully.

The little kids replaced their porcelain cups with large bowls and rushed forward, with the hearty laughter of the big-headed mother. "I wonder how you little guys can be so strong? Make some room for your aunt!"

Looking at the people laughing and making noises, Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud as well. She sipped the fruit wine and watched them decide the rules and play finger-guessing games to divide the wine.

At this moment, my heart was filled with this plain happiness, and all the unhappiness after coming to Beijing disappeared.

The Bai family was eating quietly at another table and did not disturb them.

After eating and drinking, everyone returned to their rooms. They did not take a nap, but sat cross-legged to practice. The higher their cultivation level, the more strength they could contribute.

Lin Xi took out a piece of paper with the address of Cao Zhu's house written on it, then took out a map of the capital and studied it for a while, then changed into some inconspicuous clothes and went to look for Cao Zhu's residence.

After walking around for a long time, Lin Xi returned to her own house. It was not that she was lost, but that the backyard wall of Cao Zhu was on the same street as the gate of her house. She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Jun Moyue did it on purpose.

"Tsk tsk! This is really convenient!"

Lin Xi muttered to himself, and after observing that there was no one around, he walked to the wall of Cao Zhu's backyard and jumped in.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into General Cao's yard!"

As soon as Lin Xi's feet landed on the ground, several guards surrounded her.

"Oh my! Uncle's men are really good, so alert!"

Lin Xi thought to himself, and seeing that the guards were about to take action, he quickly took out the token that Xiao Que had brought back, raised it forward, and said, "Take me to find your general."

"Meet the girl!"

After Cao Zhu returned home today, he summoned everyone in the mansion and ordered them to see the token as if they were seeing him!

Most of the guards in this mansion are retired soldiers with old injuries who were taken in by Cao Zhu. They treat Cao Zhu's orders as if they were military orders.

Seeing Lin Xi took out the token, he immediately put away his weapon and knelt on one knee to salute her.

"Everyone, please stand up. I have something important to discuss with General Cao. Please take me to see him."

Lin Xi bowed to them and spoke politely.

"Miss, the general has just returned home and was summoned to the palace by the Regent to discuss matters. Please go to the front hall to have some tea and wait."

Several guards stood up and an older guard stepped forward and replied.

"Forget it. I don't know when my uncle will be back. I will visit him again in the evening." After saying that, he turned around and was about to jump over the wall to leave.

Suddenly, Zhao Junhuan's voice came from the corridor: "Xi'er? When did you come to Beijing? Did you receive my letter?"

"Uncle, I just arrived today. The shopkeeper has handed me your letter. My uncle has also read it. I came to Beijing to solve this matter. I plan to visit my great-grandfather in a few days!"

Lin Xi turned around and smiled at Zhao Jun.

Not long after my uncle arrived in Beijing, Zhao Junhuan came to find him. It was obvious that she wanted to tell him about Zhao Ting'er and Hongmei so that he could be prepared. She told Zhao Junhuan that my uncle had read the letter, meaning that he should not be anxious.

Sure enough, Zhao Junhuan understood what Lin Xi meant and winked at her.

He came to her with an excited look on his face, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Don't wait a few days, go over now. My grandfather has been talking about you for a long time, and he plans to go to Linshan Village to find you during the New Year this year. Now that you have entered the capital, let your grandfather see you first. He will be so happy that he will smile crookedly."

"By the way, aren't you living in your cousin's courtyard? Are you afraid of attracting the attention of Zhao Ting'er? It just so happens that Zhao Ting'er and the Prime Minister's Mansion are getting along well now. You can quietly live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. My mother and Jun Le are both in the mansion. With them by your side, you won't feel bored, and it will also be convenient for us to discuss things."

"Have you found a way to deal with the poison in Hongmei's hand? We have persuaded one of Hongmei's teammates to defect..."

Seeing Zhao Junhuan talking nonstop, Lin Xi looked at the guards not far away, raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am not the only one going to the capital this time, you come with me!"

After saying that, he bowed and said goodbye to the guards, then pulled Zhao Junhuan onto the wall and disappeared.

Several guards were left staring at each other in amazement. The general's guest was a little special. He didn't like to walk through the main gate and preferred to climb the wall.
