Li Qingzhao lay in his father's arms, thought about it in his heart, looked at his father, and smiled with his father: "Well, after Daddy returns to his hometown in the future, Qingzhao will come back to celebrate with Daddy." ”

Li Gefei blinked his weak eyelids lightly, and slowly closed his eyes, still a little uncalm in his heart.

Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng stayed for a while, and then slowly returned to Zhao's mansion, feeling uncalm in their hearts.

When he returned to the room, Li Qingzhao looked at Xianggong, suddenly tilted his mouth, and said to Xianggong: "Qingzhao just went home casually today, but I didn't want to meet my father lying sick in bed, I really felt uncomfortable." ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingzhao could not hide his crying. Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly took the lady in his arms and comforted the lady: "Don't think too much about the lady, the teacher is an important minister in the court, who dares to take him?" ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Yes, but Daddy is powerless now." Qingzhao really hopes that he can go back to his hometown and stop fighting with others here. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said: "Yes, the lady is right, he will definitely return to his hometown." ”

The two went home and couldn't sleep all night, both worried.

After a few more days, Li Qingzhao was still uneasy in his heart, and from time to time he sent Haoyue and Shujiao to the Li Mansion to inquire. Knowing that my parents were fine, I was relieved.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qingzhao and Xianggong went to pay homage to Zhao Tingzhi's mother together, and then went to his mother's house to see Li Gefei. Li Gefei's health improved, and Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng were overjoyed, both after the salute. I inquired about Li Gefei's situation again before going home.

As soon as he returned to the room, Li Qingzhao had not yet sat down. I heard the voice of Sister Yun'er at the door, and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao, are you back?" ”

Li Qingzhao looked out of the door and saw Sister Yun'er jumping in again, so she naturally rejoiced, and hurriedly said, "Sister Yun'er, come in and sit down and talk." ”

Cai Nu said to her sister-in-law: "My sister-in-law just came back from going out. You should sit down. ”

Li Qingzhao and Xianggong looked at each other, and when they heard Sister Yun'er's words, they seemed to be anti-guest. I feel like a guest. People take the initiative. I didn't have anything more, I immediately sat down and said to Sister Yun'er: "Is my sister coming to celebrate the New Year with us today?" ”

Cai Nu smiled and said, "Well, half of it." ”

Li Qingzhao was puzzled: "Why is half of this so?" And what about the other half? And what is it? ”

Cai Nu thought for a moment. He also said, "Yun'er came to see my sister-in-law and Brother Zhao today." I heard that Master Li was sick. Therefore, I sent some medicinal herbs, and today Yun'er heard that Master Li's body is much better, and Yun'er is very happy. So the other half, well, can be regarded as coming over to report good news to my sister-in-law and Brother Zhao. But Yun'er looks at the two of you, you must have just returned to your parents' house. Therefore, Master Li's situation does not need to be said by Yun'er. ”

Li Qingzhao was surprised, but even more happy. I really didn't expect Sister Yun'er to be so careful, so she smiled with her sister: "Thank you sister for your concern." Qingzhao went home today to see. Sure enough, Daddy's complexion has improved a lot. It turns out that most of it is due to Yun'er. ”

Cai Nu nodded and said, "Yun'er has collected them from all over the place, and my aunt has also used some of them, and those daily old people's illnesses have also improved a lot." ”

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly smiled: "Miss Cai has helped our family so much, Mingcheng should thank you very much." ”

Cai Nu smiled and said, "How can Brother Zhao thank me?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng paused, but he didn't know how to reply at this time.

Cai Nu raised her eyebrows at Brother Zhao, and then laughed and said, "Yun'er thought that Brother Zhao was mixed up in officialdom, so he should be able to say some polite words!" Why did I stop asking as soon as I asked? When you were a scholar, you were quite good at talking. But why don't you say anything now? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said embarrassedly: "This, that, Mingcheng is really happy, he is too happy, so he can't speak." Miss Cai, please sit down. ”

Cai Nu nodded and said, "Hey, since Brother Zhao can be so sincere, Yun'er will sit down." ”

Li Qingzhao saw Sister Yun'er sitting down, and then asked, "Has my sister been waiting outside the door for a long time?" ”

Cai Nu nodded and said, "Well, Miss Haoyue told Yun'er, you husband and wife went out to go back to their parents' house, Yun'er didn't come at the right time." But it's okay, didn't I wait for you now? ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "My sister is fortunate." ”

Haoyue came in, made hot tea with Miss Cai, and then said, "Miss Cai has been waiting for a long time, but Haoyue has not taken good care of her." Now please also use tea to ward off the cold in the body. ”

Cai Nu smiled and said, "You're welcome." Let's close the door, it's too cold outside. ”

Haoyue nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Haoyue went out and closed the door.

Cai Nu took a sip of tea, and then said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao, Yun'er came over this time, in fact, there is still something to say." ”

Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng looked at each other and were shocked, and Cai Nu's face suddenly changed, which surprised her.

Cai Nu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Daddy seems to be very busy in the court. The dispute between Xianggong and Daddy is really getting bigger and bigger. Daddy was angry, and for the sake of Yun'er's face, he repeatedly did not lose his temper. But Yun'er could feel as if something was about to happen. ”

Li Qingzhao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cai Nu said: "Xianggong is really stubborn, and he has always been straightforward to his father, and he says whatever he wants." I think he also needs to be punished so that he knows who he is. ”

Saying this, Cai Nu was very angry, and then continued: "But Xianggong is too real. Whatever Yun'er said to him, he only regarded it as the east wind in his ears, thinking that his thoughts were right. Daddy has tolerated him for a long time, and something must have happened in the future. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Brother Dev can say whatever he wants, isn't it good?" ”

Cai Nu said: "What's good? Xianggong only knows that he is bent on going his own way, and he doesn't care about his father's words at all. Yun'er hated him a little. ”

Li Qingzhao hurriedly reached out to touch Sister Yun'er, and comforted her: "What a good man Brother Lu is. Where do you go to find someone like him? ”

Cai Nu lowered her head, and the gloomy color disappeared immediately, and she was replaced by a smile. said to his sister-in-law: "Yun'er understands. Sister-in-law doesn't need to persuade me more. If Yun'er really hated him, there would be no original. ”

Li Qingzhao looked at Sister Yun'er's appearance, and knew in his heart that Sister Yun'er said it on purpose, but in fact, she didn't necessarily think like this in her heart. Thinking about it like this, Li Qingzhao felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

Cai Nu said: "Actually, Yun'er didn't mean to do this. Yun'er wanted to tell her sister-in-law and Brother Zhao that Master Li had been wronged. ”

Li Qingzhao heard this. There was a frustration in his heart, and then he nodded and said, "Qingzhao already knows." ”

Cai Nu said: "Actually, we all thought wrongly, thinking that the ministers would work together from now on. Serve the court together! But who knows that Master Li is very uncomfortable when he is excluded by others. Sick in bed, presumably because of this. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Daddy, he also said so." Qingzhao also persuaded his father. Let Daddy get well after he gets better. Just say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, and don't ask about political affairs anymore. ”

Cai Nu said: "Actually, Yun'er knows that it's all her father's." Daddy, he is the closest to the emperor in the court, so what he wants to do, then he can do it. Yun'er is at home, and her father always avoids Yun'er to talk about things. He also talked about some important things about the imperial court. Yun'er heard what others said, and overheard it again, so she felt uneasy in her heart. So he came and told him. Hearing that Master Li was sick in bed, Yun'er's heart became even more uncertain. I really thought that something would happen, so I found some precious medicinal herbs, and personally visited Lord Li and my aunt to inquire about the situation. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

Li Qingzhao hurriedly said: "Why should Sister Yun'er blame herself? It's not your fault. This is the development of the situation, and we are all in it. Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore who is right and who is wrong. The important thing is that when my father recovers from his illness, he will go back to his hometown with his mother. At that time, Qingzhao will also be relieved. ”

Cai Nu nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

Zhao Mingcheng was already in tears, looking at his mother, but he recalled in his heart that he saw his teacher that day, and said to Miss Cai: "When Mingcheng and his mother went back to Li's house that day, they saw their teacher's skinny appearance, and his face was also gloomy. Mingcheng is really uncomfortable, and his heart is extremely uncomfortable. Mingcheng is also an official anyway, why can't he help his teacher? ”

Li Qingzhao turned his head to look at Xianggong and said to Xianggong: "Xianggong, you don't have to blame yourself." Matters between fathers, you juniors can't help. Forget it, you don't say it anymore. ”

Cai Nu said: "We all thought that when the emperor invited us to a banquet, the four of us were the most eye-catching. Xianggong made a generous statement, and Yun'er was majestic again. Sister-in-law, your words have moved the emperor. Brother Zhao's later words also made the emperor full of praise. Hmph, but it wasn't like this at all. The development of things is really unimaginable to us. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Yes." We're just talking empty words, and everyone understands the truth. However, the reality is not a big reason to be able to say it. Things between the fathers are so complicated that we can't even think of it. ”

In a blink of an eye, Li Qingzhao shed another tear, and then said: "Even if you think about it, what can you do?" We can only watch. Qingzhao heard that his father was sick, so he went home to take care of his father, and there was no other way. ”

Cai Nu said: "Sister-in-law is right, what we think in our hearts is too beautiful, but we can't make it." Changing the law and being conservative are already contradictory, how can they be in the court together? Now it's squeezing each other out, which is even more normal. It's just that Yun'er doesn't know how to help you, and she doesn't know how to persuade her father. Daddy, he didn't listen to me at all, and he treated Yun'er as a three-year-old child. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Sister Yun'er doesn't have to blame herself. My sister can go and search for medicinal herbs for my father and mother, Qingzhao is already very grateful to you, so why should I blame you? Besides, no matter what, Daddy is still in good health. Qingzhao was already very happy in his heart. ”

Cai Nu nodded and said: "That's okay, Master Li will return to his hometown, and from then on he will have no quarrel with the world and live a happy life." It's a pleasure. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded, thought about it in his heart, and really fantasized that his father and mother would return to Qingzhou together, farming and having fun in their spare time, just happy.

Li Qingzhao pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself, "That's just right." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Alas, Mingcheng's official work is also a failure. The people next to Mingcheng praised Mingcheng. Mingcheng let the family go around, but he never paid attention to the affairs of the government, which really shouldn't be. The teacher is right, most of the people around Mingcheng are hypocritical, not sincere. ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "You need to understand people before you speak, don't be so arbitrary." ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes." However, is what Mingcheng did as an official useful? Teachers have become like this. Mingcheng still remembers that when the teacher taught Mingcheng, how ambitious the teacher was at that time, and then look at the appearance of the teacher now, he is already old and yellow, and he has no vitality. ”

At this point, Zhao Mingcheng burst into tears again.

Li Qingzhao said to Xiang Gong: "Xianggong, why are you blaming yourself again?" Qingzhao doesn't blame you. All you have to do is do your job. ”

Turning his head to wipe his tears, Li Qingzhao asked again, "Hey?" Why didn't the Dev brothers come? Qingzhao hadn't seen him in a few days. ”

Cai Nu said: "He takes care of the children at home. The child is now a treasure in his hands. Hehe, he's idle all day, and he really doesn't have anything to do. Yun'er asked him to come out and walk around here, but Xianggong also said that he was not interested. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "It is difficult for the Defu brothers to display their ambitions, so they are depressed in their hearts, right? ”

Cai Nu said: "What kind of bullshit is negative? His ambitions are a bit unrealistic. It's okay to be ambitious, and you don't have to do it every day. Since there is no opportunity to display your ambitions, you should first settle down. ”

Then sighed again, Cai Nu said: "Alas, he was also disappointed, thinking that the emperor promised him to guard the frontier." He'll have a chance! But who knows, Xianggong has no chance, but he has been working against his father. Life is always unsatisfactory, how can you have the spirit to come out and visit the door? ”

Li Qingzhao said: "The Defu brothers have always spoken to the old guards. Therefore, in the face of Lord Cai, how can there be no contradictions? ”

Cai Nu blinked her eyes and pouted: "Xianggong doesn't know how to deal with people, so he knows how to stick to his own opinion." It's just boring. Forget it, Yun'er looked for an opportunity, so she went out of Beijing with Xianggong and didn't stay at home. ”

Li Qingzhao thought for a while and said, "That's fine." ”

Cai Nu pouted, suddenly changed color again, and smiled with her sister-in-law and Brother Zhao: "Today is the New Year, why do we mention these unhappy things?" Yun'er came over today to drink and have fun with her sister-in-law, Brother Zhao. The two of you won't shirk it, right? ”

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "Since Sister Yun'er has such a Yaxing, Qingzhao will naturally not shirk it." ”

Zhao Mingcheng also nodded and said, "Yes, Mingcheng will not shirk it." ”

Cai Nu said happily: "Then what are you waiting for?" Yun'er happened to drink and write poems with the two, and she was also happy. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Okay." Then he shouted, "Haoyue come in, get ready for wine." ”

Cai Nu laughed and said: "If the wine is not strong, you will not drink, and the poetry will not be listened to." How is it? ”

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The lady's poetry is a must. How dare Miss Cai write poems with her mother? (To be continued.) )
