Chapter 2627 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
Lu Shenyuan saw a petal fall on Shi Li's shoulder.
His hands reacted faster than his brain. He took off the petals without even touching Shi Li's clothes. Then, when he saw Shi Li's surprised look, he realized what he had done.
"I'm really sorry, I was rude." Lu Shenyuan was very flustered. He was born and raised in the borderland, and being casual has become his habit. Whenever he meets Shi Li, he is always rude to the beautiful woman.
Shi Li was naturally not a stingy person, and seeing Lu Shenyuan's upright eyes, she did not think that he had any improper thoughts, so she just shook her head and chuckled, "It's okay, thank you, General Lu."
As the two were talking, Prime Minister Shi finally came over from another road and said to his daughter with a smile, "I just learned today that General Lu is the hero of the victory in the Northwest War. He is young and promising!"
Prime Minister Shi had already praised him once just now, and he praised him again in front of Shi Li.
Lu Shenyuan was even more embarrassed than before. He bowed and said, "Master Shi, your praise is too much. I am ashamed to accept it."
He didn't want to give Shi Li the impression that he was complacent.
But Shi Li didn't think about these.
In the original owner's memory, the war in the northwest had been going on year after year. Being able to end it and make the barbarians surrender was indeed a great achievement. He immediately followed Prime Minister Shi's words and praised, "Young General Lu is brave and valiant. I admire him."
[Yo yo yo, my ears turn red just from one compliment~]
[I'm not saying this, but the little general's eyes are almost threadbare! ]
【He loves it! 】
As an outsider, the barrage was always the first to see the clues and couldn't help but make fun of it. Fortunately, Lu Shenyuan didn't know there were so many people present, otherwise it would be more than just his ears that would be red.
Prime Minister Shi ordered the chef in the mansion to prepare many Northwestern-style dishes and took great care of the guest Lu Shenyuan.
There was no one else at the table except him and Shi Li, the two hosts.
Lu Shenyuan gradually relaxed from his initial reserved attitude, and carefully told the two about the customs and practices in the Northwest, which were completely different from those in the capital.
Every place has its own charm.
The capital has its own prosperity and splendor, and the northwest also has its own desert smoke and vast yellow sand.
Not to mention Shi Li, even Prime Minister Shi had never been to the northwest in person. After listening to Lu Shenyuan's words, he felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.
"Your Majesty is very pleased with the great victory in the northwest this time. He will definitely reward the meritorious officials. It's a good opportunity for you to rest a little longer in the capital."
Although Prime Minister Shi was a civil servant and had never been to the battlefield, when he thought of Lu Shenyuan's life and death experience on the battlefield at such a young age, he admired him and loved him more.
In the following days, Lu Shenyuan and his group of Zhenxi soldiers were extremely busy with the positions and rewards mentioned above by Xu Dedian.
Shi Li found new teachers for her two younger brothers, and they studied in her courtyard every day. When she had nothing to do, she would follow them and listen, and supervise her younger brothers' studies.
After just a few days, Shi Li discovered that his two younger brothers were good at studying, but their bodies were very weak. Not only them, but most of the noble children in the capital were like this, valuing literature over martial arts.
Shi Li didn't care what other people did, but it was definitely not okay for her two younger brothers to be like this, so she thought about finding another teacher who could teach martial arts, but she couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
Right now, there is another important matter, so I can only put this matter aside for the time being.
In seven days, it will be the anniversary of the original owner's mother's death.
According to the original owner's habit in previous years, he would go to the temple in advance to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to accumulate blessings for his deceased mother. This year was no exception, and Shi Li asked the housekeeper to make the same arrangements as in previous years.
Just before she was about to leave, Shi Nian and Shi Jiao came to her hesitantly.
"Elder sister..." Shi Jiao didn't dare to speak and just hid behind Shi Nian. Shi Nian walked up to Shi Li with gritted teeth and looked at her timidly.
Shi Li had been nice to them these past few days. Although they didn't dare to get close to her, it was much better than before. Now they suddenly became like this, which made Shi Li curious about what was going on.
So Shi Li smiled kindly and said, "What's wrong? What's the matter that makes you so hesitant? Tell me about it."
Facing her smiling eyes, Shi Nian mustered up the courage to say, "My brother and I also want to go to the temple with you to pray for Madam."
Although the two were young, they knew that Shi Li had been very nice to them recently, and was even very kind to the aunt who lived alone in a side courtyard.
Knowing that she was going to the temple to pray, I also wanted to show my filial piety.
Looking at the sincere eyes of the two children, Shi Li couldn't bear to refuse and nodded.
"Okay, you guys come with me. But you have to get up early and study there, and all three meals a day are vegetarian. I don't want to back out halfway."
"Yes! Don't worry, elder sister!" Shi Nian and Shi Jiao immediately became happy and nodded happily in agreement.
So when setting off, Shi Li brought two little "burdens" with him for the first time.
