Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 231

Jiang Li went in and saw the old man with a gray beard, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Master has such a sense of elegance."

The old man with a gray beard is Jiang Li's first teacher, Cao Ping, the former commander of the town's Fusi.

After Jiang Li emerged, Cao Ping handed over the Zhenfu Division to Jiang Li, and then resigned and retired.

At the beginning, I traveled around the world, and when I got older, I returned to the capital and spent the rest of my life in such a small courtyard.

Jiang Li would come over when he was free, and it was a great pleasure for the two of them to eat peanuts, drink some wine, and talk about the world.

When Cao Ping saw Jiang Li, he waved his hand and said to the children, "Let's learn here today, you go and play."

The children scattered in excitement.

Jiang Li couldn't help but look at Cao Ping and said, "When did the master teach these little kids so patiently? I remember that when the master taught me, he was not so good-tempered."

Cao Ping sat down at the stone table with a smile, and said, "I am old, and I like to drink tea and listen to music. These children are just a matter of convenience. Playing at the door, listening to me reading inside, looking curiously, I just taught a few words casually, I didn’t expect to be quite smart, and I can learn it as soon as I learn it, no, there are more and more people.”

Cao Ping spread his hands and said helplessly, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened a lot.

Jiang Li knew that he should like this kind of life, otherwise he wouldn't talk like this.

"Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Cao Ping leaned on the back of the bamboo chair, squinting his eyes while asking.

Jiang Li sat opposite him, picked up the kettle on the stone table and poured two glasses of water, and said, "Why, can't I come to your old man if I have nothing to do?"

Cao Ping sneered, opened his eyes, and looked at Jiang Li playfully: "You boy, if you have time to come to my old fellow, shouldn't you be busy with a case?"

Jiang Li was teased by Cao Ping and laughed.

"Master is really powerful and knows everything."

"Hmph, I also know that you and that boy Qin Guzhi are fighting right now."

Cao Ping closed his eyes, still did not lift his head, raised his eyes while basking in the sun, shaking his toes leisurely.

"puff……"

Jiang Li was startled by his words, and the tea he took just now spewed out.

"You, what are you talking about? How could I have a fight with General Qin?"

Cao Ping would quit now.

He opened his eyes, squinted at Jiang Li, and said, "Hey, you brat, how dare you hide it from me? The whole capital knows that you and Qin Guzhi have a crush on the same woman. You two fight over each other. Now it's a big news in the capital, hmph, I see, it's almost overshadowing that Princess Tianxiang."

What Cao Ping said was not polite at all.

You're welcome.

This stinky boy has a girl he likes, and he, the master, didn't even let him know, and even coaxed him.

Jiang Li was choked up and didn't dare to say any more.

He had a fight with Qin Guzhi?
What doesn't exist is just fair competition!
I don't know how these people in the capital spread the word, Jiang Li felt a little worried.

It's not a good thing for Fu Jia if such words spread, he and Qin Guzhi will forget it.

Jiang Li secretly pondered to find out the source of this rumor.

"Speaking of which, did Princess Tianxiang feel that you would overshadow others' limelight as soon as you returned to the capital, and that's why you committed such a murder case, so that no one would remember her?"

Cao Ping clicked his tongue and asked.

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master, don't you think Princess Tianxiang is free?"

Cao Ping said seriously, "Well, I think so."

Jiang Li felt that he couldn't let Cao Ping's wild thinking go on like this, otherwise there would be nothing about him.

"Master, don't think about it too much. I came here today because I have something to ask Master."

Jiang Li decided to get straight to the point.

The master may have started talking nonsense because someone who spoke to him recently said so.

Cao Ping ignored him, and just asked: "Stinky boy, come and tell me, my teacher, what happened to that adopted daughter of the Marquis of Anping?"

Jiang Li's usually cold face turned slightly hot.

In front of the master, he is just a child.

Cao Ping sat up straight, seeing Jiang Li like this, he was really serious.

"Master, I, I like her, but it's not a fight with Qin Guzhi, it's just a fair competition."

Jiang Li said Ai Ai out of his mouth, but hurriedly explained.

"Fair competition? Is he competing with you fairly? I've heard that the two of them are already engaged couples, and the emperor and empress both approve of this."

Jiang Li smiled bitterly,
This is what he has always worried about.

At that time, he watched Qin Guzhi choose Fu Jia, but he didn't fight for it. After realizing the different feelings for Fu Jia in his heart, he regretted it very much.

"You like her, does she like you? You brat!"

Cao Ping knew from Jiang Li's expression that this matter was not as simple as Jiang Li said.

Cao Ping has been in this officialdom for half his life, so he still doesn't know the complexity of it.

However, the woman's mind is another matter.

Don't try hard and have no direction. If you miss someone unrequitedly, you won't say anything if you offend others, and you will fall into this place of eternal doom.

Cao Ping felt that feelings should not be touched, if once touched, it would only be lost forever.

There was once a woman who appeared in his life.

At that time, he was high-spirited, he only knew how to handle the case and made meritorious service, and he didn't care about other things, but when the woman married someone else, it seemed that he suddenly lost something in his life, and his heart began to feel empty, and there was no one else. People will wait for him at the door, and no one will pester him. He will not be allowed to drink cold water, eat dry food, or beat him up...

After that, Cao Ping's heart suddenly calmed down.

There are many ways to live life in this world, why would I choose such an annoying way?

Afterwards, he resigned from office and traveled outside for a few years, and he returned to the capital only when his heart was at peace.

He watched Jiang Li grow up since he was a child, and he couldn't bear Jiang Li to fall into this emotional vortex.

What's more, the other party was someone like Qin Guzhi.

Do you like it...

Jiang Li slowly savored these words in his heart.

Yes, he likes Fu Jia, where is Fu Jia?

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.

Fu Jia trusts and trusts him, and there is no barrier.

The two of them have seen each other's sad side, and also seen the most embarrassing side, and they have lived and died together, shared joys and sorrows.

If these were pleasing to the eye, then he felt that Fu Jia should be pleasing to him.

However, Fu Jia never said it.

Also, never echoed his words.

Fu Jia should know that he likes her, Jiang Li can be sure.

In the past, Jiang Li thought that it was because of Fu Jia's marriage contract with Qin Guzhi, but now that he thinks about it, maybe Fu Jia has other ideas?
