Qingtong took a deep breath, looked at Li Houde, and said solemnly, "Say it." ”

Li Houde cleared his throat: "When the palace master was in power, he was the prince of the court, and he was one of the three dukes, you should know." I heard that Lai Guogong is your godfather, he is much more powerful than your godfather, after being removed from the emperor's position as a prince, he is now serving as the governor of the DPRK and China, second only to the prime minister. Originally, he was the master of the Mo family who participated in political affairs, and this Mo family is also in-law with your godfather Gu family, isn't it the daughter of the family, Mo Qiyan, who married Gu Mingyang, the uncle of the Gu family? You should know that. ”

Among the twists and turns, Qingtong is really not particularly clear. She listened carefully and chimed in, "And then?" ”

Li Houde saw that Qingtong's appetite was aroused, he was very proud, and said with a smile: "Let's go, invite me to have a drink, and I will tell you slowly." ”

This is eating and drinking in private, as long as it is not excessive, it is a trivial matter, and Qingtong is naturally willing to invite. Li Houde was also happy, and went to Zhou Rui again, saying, "Zhuang Yuanlang invited us to have a drink, do you want to go?" ”

The current Qingtong is of no use value to Zhou Rui, and Qingtong didn't come over by himself. Now he still takes the initiative to bother to envelop Qingtong's words, which should really be full.

Zhou Rui didn't look at Li Houde, but said: "If you want to find something interesting, I understand, go play by yourself." ”

Li Houde saw that Zhou Rui did not object, so he turned around and went to find Qingtong. The two met, and Qingtong asked, "Where does Brother Li want to go for a drink?" ”

Li Houde didn't think about it: "Naturally, it's Yuxian Tower." People say that the wine and food there are good, and the dishes, chopsticks, dishes and pots are real money. "I've heard about it since I went to the capital, but I haven't been there at all, so I naturally want to go.

Yuxian Lou has to eat a casual meal of dozens of taels of silver, if you open the pavilion, you must prepare hundreds of taels of silver. Speaking of which, there is nothing to eat, just good drinks and some special side dishes.

Li Houde wanted to see and see, but Qingtong couldn't say no, so he said, "Listen to Brother Li." ”

When I arrived at Yuxian Building, according to Li Houde's request, I asked for a small pavilion. The two sat down, waited for a while, and then served the food and drinks. Li Houde looked at the delicate dishes on the plate, hurriedly took the chopsticks and tasted a little, and said, "It's really good." ”

Qingtong smiled: "Brother Li likes it." ”

Li Houde was satisfied, and ate two glasses of wine with Qingtong before he said: "Continue to tell you about your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, I have heard it, if there is a discrepancy, you should listen to a story." ”

"I understand." Qingtong said.

Li Houde poured another glass of wine to eat, and after eating, he said: "The Gong family and the Mo family are mortal enemies, and they fight fiercely. After the emperor ascended the throne, the forces of all parties shuffled. You should have found out that even if your godfather has the emperor to rely on, he was still removed from his official position. Why? Because his son-in-law is King Yi! Why is the Mo family, the Mo family and the Gu family are old friends of in-laws. was caught by the palace family again, so he was unlucky. ”

"The Feng family and the Gu family are also good friends, why didn't they ......" Qing Tong felt that he had diverted the topic when he asked, and said busily: "Let's talk about Gong Qiu." ”

Li Houde slapped the table: "That's a good question!" Why the Feng family is still dominant in the Ministry of Rites is because Feng Zhiwen, the master of the Feng family, is a powerful character, and everyone knows it. He is good with the Gu family, but who is he not good with? ”

Qingtong nodded: "Let's talk about Gongqiu." ”

Li Houde smiled: "You are so interested in her, very good, very good." After eating a glass of wine, he said: "Gong Qiu has always married two men, the first is the son of the Mo family, and the day after the marriage, the Mo family had an accident. The second is an ordinary family, but he was divorced the day after he got married and sent back to his parents' house. Now it is said that he lives in an embroidery building in the northwest corner of the palace house, and he is served by a maid, and he basically does not leave the house. Moreover, although Gong Qiu is still the daughter of the Gong family. raised her, but the palace family was afraid of being talked to. It is said that her relationship with the Gong family ......" Li Houde shook his head vigorously, "Such a woman, do you dare to marry?" ”

Qing Tong was a little relieved when she heard Gong Qiu's encounter. She can't be the master of marrying or not, but she is very interested in this story, and poured wine for Li Houde and said: "Since the Gong family and the Mo family are mortal enemies, why do you want to marry your daughter?" If you are married, isn't that your in-laws, why do you want to put each other to death? ”

Li Houde thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I only know that Gong Qiu and the son of the Mo family are in love, and they are talented and beautiful." It's a pity that a good marriage is a good couple, and it's a pity that a good girl. Now that Gong Qiu, I don't know what it looks like. You are unlucky to offend Feng Zhiwen. It must have been that he united the palace family and begged the emperor to give you this marriage. If you marry her, the palace family can only be regarded as a nominal maiden family, and it can't help you by half a point. The palace family was eager to break off with that palace autumn. ”

"That's it." Qingtong said.

Li Houde looked at her: "Do you recognize this?" knew that today, it was better to marry a girl from the Feng family. You don't want a pie-in-the-sky good thing, you have to grind yourself like this, and I'll serve you. ”

"Let's go." Qingtong picked up the wine glass: "Don't talk about this stubble, let's eat wine." ”

Li Houde knew everything he had said, and he didn't mention it anymore. Concentrate on tasting wine and food, and chat with Qingtong about life ideals. Phrases such as "You can't do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get famous in the court." "You might as well think of another way out. "Or stay in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of your life, it is also considered expensive, preaching and preaching, and writing books. ”……

Li Houde said that he should take care of the green pupils, in short, he would not lose a piece of meat, what to argue with him. The result of everything is not counted, but the result is counted.

After eating and drinking, the two went home. Qingtong's amount of alcohol is large, and he will keep the amount every time, and he rarely gets drunk. I went home at night, and when I was blown by the wind, I woke up.

The front yard of the Qing family, in front of the study.

Qing Yan and He Biqing were squatting and playing with the rope, and they were playing happily, when they suddenly heard movement on the door, Qing Yan was stunned: "My father is back!" ”

So the two of them hurriedly withdrew their hands and collected the rope and went into the study.

When Qing Tong opened the door in front of the study, Qing Yan was standing on a small bench to write, and He Biqing was also standing on a small bench to help him polish his ink. Seeing that it was very hard, Qingtong was satisfied, and entered the house and said, "How are you studying at home today?" ”

"Sir." He Biqing got down from the small bench and shouted, but she didn't salute.

Qingtong reached out and pinched her little face, went to Qingyan's side, looked at the words he wrote, and said, "Yes, it's late, let's get here today, go back and rest." ”

"Huh." Qing Yan happily got down from the small bench and pulled He Biqing to run.

"Ran." Qing Tong suddenly spoke out and stopped Qing Yan again.

Qing Yan stopped his steps and turned around, looking at Qing Tong: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

After a while, Qingtong said, "Dad wants to find you a stepmother, and I've already found it." ”

Qing Yan was stunned, let go of He Biqing's hand, and walked in front of Qing Tong: "Is it the sister of the Feng family?" ”

"You like her?" Qing Hitomi asked.

Qing Yan nodded honestly: "Sister Qing likes it too, she is very good." ”

Qingtong reached out and touched Qingyan's face, rubbed her earlobes again, and said for a while: "It's not her, it's a new one." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qing Yan was not very happy, and raised his head and said, "Who?" Is it better than Sister Feng? ”

I'm afraid that he and Feng Yu are completely different people, and they are so gloomy and scary. Qingtong didn't say, but said: "You'll know when the time comes, go play, and go back to sleep early when you're sleepy." ”

"Oh......" Qing Yan was a little disappointed, walked two steps and turned around, and asked without giving up: "Why isn't it the sister of the Feng family?" ”

"Daddy doesn't like her." Qingtong said.

"Daddy likes this?" Qing Yan asked.

Qingtong nodded and said seriously: "Well, I have bigger breasts and a thinner waist than Miss Feng's." ”

"Okay." "Dad will go back to the room early." ”

"Hmm." Qing Tong nodded and watched the two little guys go out.

Qingyan didn't go back to his yard when he went out, but followed He Biqing to He's mother. He took He Biqing's hand, still puzzled: "Why does my father like to have big breasts and thin waists?" ”

He Biqing straightened her chest: "I don't know, are your breasts big and good-looking, I feel ugly when they bulge." ”

"I think so, too." Qing Yan really couldn't understand, and when she went to Mother He, she asked Mother He again.

Mother He's face was embarrassed for a while, and she pulled He Biqing over, looked at Qing Yan and said, "What nonsense are children talking about?" How can anyone say such things! ”

Qing Yan remembered that the last time he loved to chase and beat him was because he learned his father's words of "big chest and thin waist", he hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "I won't say it again." ”

Mother He looked at He Biqing in her arms again, "You can't even talk nonsense, you know?" The girl's family is not ashamed. ”

He Biqing pointed at each other, slightly aggrieved: "Oh......"

Mother He pulled Qingyan into her arms again, one on one side. She looked at Qing Yan and said slowly: "The stepmother entered the door, how careful my brother is." The others are not afraid, but they are afraid that she is a vicious person and will make her brother suffer. If you are wronged, it is useless to sue me, you must sue sù master, you know? ”

Qingyan nodded, and Mother He said to He Biqing again: "Sister, remember, in this family, you are a maid." In the future, don't call Brother Jing Brother Jing, others call me Second Master, and you are also called Second Master, you know? Other maids in the family do things, watch more and learn more, don't be reckless and do something wrong, and ask someone to punish you. ”

He Biqing didn't understand: "Why do you want to call the second master?" ”

"Brother is the master, you are a slave, do you remember?" Mother He repeated it again.

He Biqing pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time. She looked at Qing Yan, and Qing Yan Fang said, "Mom, it's better to call me brother." Sister Qing calls me the second master, I'm not used to it. ”

"You have to get used to it." Mother He said.

He Biqing burst into tears, clasped her fingers and muttered aggrievedly: "I'm not a slave...... Brother Jing still wants to marry me......"

Mother He covered her mouth: "Don't say such things again!" It used to be all my bastard words, so you all forgot about it! Sister Qing'er, if you are disobedient, I don't care if you live or die! ”
