On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 202 Snail Girl

At first, Li Jing felt that Cui Che was getting close to him just to win over his uncle for Yang Guang.

Even Han Qinhu thought so, so he followed Li Jing back home on the pretext of curiosity, preparing to politely refuse Cui Che's advances.

He had a grudge against He Ruobi, but that didn't mean he had to support Jin Wang Yang Guang. It was just that he felt sorry after hearing Cui Che's words outside the mansion just now.

It turned out that he had expressed his feelings wrongly. Cui Che had been going for Li Jing from the beginning to the end and had nothing to do with him, Han Qinhu.

Han Qinhu drank a few glasses of wine, then left and returned home.

Cui Che waited until Han Qinhu left, then handed the wedding invitation in his arms to Li Jing and said with a smile:

"My daughter is getting married the day after tomorrow. If the pharmacist has free time, he will definitely come and have a glass of water and wine."

Li Jing was stunned as he looked at the wedding invitation. He really felt that Cui Che valued him.

Yang Lihua's marriage was definitely a grand affair. Of course, Han Qinhu also had a share in getting the wedding invitation. One of his personal followers sent it to the house. Li Jing was also present at the time.

His uncle was known as one of the five most famous generals in the world, but Cui Che only sent his personal entourage to deliver the invitation, while Li Jing was only a sixth-rank driving officer, Cui Che, as his immediate superior, actually came to the door personally with the invitation, even waiting outside the house.

Such courtesy is so touching.

Li Jing solemnly accepted the wedding invitation and responded:

"Gong Yan kindly invites you, and your subordinates will surely come to visit you!"

Cui Che waved his hands repeatedly:

"This is not the Ministry of War, so there is no need to call us officers and nobles. You and I are about the same age, so just call me by my cousin."

When Li Jing saw Cui Che's sincere tone, he stopped insisting and immediately called him Zicheng.

Before joining the Ministry of War, Han Qinhu once warned Li Jing that Cui Che was unpredictable and should not get too close to him.

But a good girl is afraid of pestering a man. Faced with Cui Che's fierce pursuit, Li Jing finally let down his guard and was willing to be friends with him.

That night, Cui Che did not return home. The two of them stayed up all night discussing ancient and modern times and criticizing characters.

The next morning, when the sky was still dark, Cui Che said goodbye to Li Jing and then went back to change his official uniform.

Yang Lihua was not upset that Cui Che did not come home at night. Wang De had reported the letter last night, and Cui Che stayed at Li Jing's house, not wandering around the flower streets and willow lanes.

After serving Cui Che to wash up and change clothes, Yang Lihua warned:

"Eying will get married tomorrow, and my husband can go back home tonight."

Cui Che yawned and replied weakly:

"knew."

Last night I chatted with Li Jing and didn't sleep a wink. Now I feel very sleepy.

When he went to the government office, Cui Che lay on the couch and fell asleep soundly. No one from the Ministry of War officials dared to disturb his rest, but Li Jing had to steel himself and deal with official duties.

Cui Che slept until lunch time and didn't wake up until lunch time.

He went to the driving department to find Li Jing and planned to have dinner with him, but Li Jing was taking a short lunch break to take a nap.

When the officials of the driving department wanted to pay tribute, Cui Che told them to keep their voices down so as not to wake up Li Jing.

After waving his hands for everyone to disperse, Cui Che didn't care about having lunch. He sat down next to Li Jing and handled official duties for him.

After a long time, when it was almost time for the next shift, Li Jing woke up. He raised his head and looked out the window, the sun was setting towards the west.

"What time is it now?"

Li Jing asked his colleagues in surprise.

The colleague replied:

"It should be the exact time of application (four o'clock in the afternoon)."

Hearing that he had slept for two hours, Li Jing ignored his complaints and agreed with his colleagues to wake him up after a short nap. He quickly picked up a pen and prepared to handle the remaining official duties, but someone had already done it for him.

Li Jing had read "The Postscript of Searching for Gods" written by Tao Yuanming, and was deeply impressed by the article "Baishui Sunu".

But I don’t think there is really a girl who lives in a snail who will handle official documents for me.

Li Jing hurriedly asked his colleagues, who explained:

"It's Cui Shangshu who doesn't allow us to disturb your rest. It's Cui Shangshu who will handle these official documents for you."

When Li Jing heard this, he hurried to the minister's room, only to see Cui Che leaning on the desk and writing furiously.

Cui Che heard the footsteps, raised his head to see Li Jing, smiled and said:

"Why is the pharmacist here?"

Li Jing looked at his snail girl and hesitated to speak.

Cui Che deliberately rubbed his wrist and said:

"Could it be that you want to invite me to have a drink? I'm busy with business today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

Cui Che didn't tell lies. He slept soundly in the morning and helped Li Jing handle official duties in the afternoon. There was already a backlog of paperwork that he had to deal with.

After all, Li Jing didn't say his thanks. He followed Cui Che's words and said that he just planned to treat him to a drink. Since Cui Che was busy with official duties, he had to change the date.

Returning to the courtyard of the driving department, Li Jing looked through the official documents Cui Che had written for him.

The text is neat and tidy, with not even a single ink stain, which shows that it was written with great care.

Outside the house, several colleagues were muttering in the yard, many of them expressing jealousy towards Li Jing.

The spring breeze poured subtle sounds of discussion into Li Jing's ears. Li Jing sighed and thought:

"When you are polite to others, you will ask for something. I am afraid that Duke Yan is treating me with such courtesy because I will repay him with my life in the future."

At dusk, all the officials of the Ministry of War said goodbye and went back to their homes.

It was getting dark, candlelight was lit in the minister's wing, and Cui Che buried his head in the room alone.

The thick official documents piled up on the desk almost overwhelmed him.

There were officials who wanted to help, but they were all declined by Cui Che. As Minister of War, how could he let others overstep his authority?

The Ministry of War office was very quiet at night, with only the evening breeze blowing and shaking the candlelight in the room.

Li Jing appeared outside the door at some point. He walked in without saying a word and sat across from Cui Che.

Cui Che looked up at Li Jing and stopped the pen in his hand.

Li Jing remained silent. He picked a writing brush from the pen holder and an unreviewed official document. He dipped it in ink and began to work as a minister of the Ministry of War.

Cui Che did not refuse Li Jing's help like he refused other officials. A smile appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head and continued to review official documents.

The two of them were busy until the end of the day before they finally finished handling today's business.

Cui Che and Li Jing walked out of the Ministry of War office, looked up at the bright moonlight on the horizon, turned to Li Jing and smiled:

"I remember the pharmacist said before that he wanted to treat me to a drink, but I don't know if he wants to do it or not."

"If Zicheng is willing, you might as well get drunk with me tonight."

Cui Che had mentioned it last night that if he left the Ministry of War, he would address him by name, and Li Jing also remembered it.

Cui Che shook his head and said:

"That's all, keep it and drink it another day. Cui is getting married tomorrow and has to go back early tonight."

The two said goodbye in front of the main gate of the Ministry of War.

When Li Jing returned home, his wife thought he was having a drink with his colleagues, but she didn't smell the alcohol and said curiously:

"Husband, why did you come back so late today?"

Li Jing avoided answering and said to his wife:

"Let the kitchen prepare some food and wine."

The wife went out to call the slaves, leaving Li Jing alone in the room sighing.

There are two chapters left, the next one is at 8pm
