Zhao Mingcheng and his mother said anxiously: "Why is my mother so anxious? When it comes to this mother, she is in a hurry. ”

Mother Zhao said: "How can I not be in a hurry? Look at your two brothers, and look at you, what do you look like? ”

Zhao Mingcheng competed with his mother and said, "Mother, don't say that. There are a lot of people like me, but I'm not the only one. Don't people have ambitions? Anyway, my father is gone, and I always feel awkward when I go to work alone. I...... I don't want to go. ”

Zhao's mother's complexion changed, and she was about to fight when she raised her hand, but was stopped by Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao begged her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, now that the three brothers have returned, the emperor has pardoned their crimes. This is already a very gratifying thing for our family, and your mother-in-law should be happy, and you should not hurt yourself because of it. ”

Mother Zhao looked at Qingzhao and pondered for a moment, then put her hand down, and saw that Mingcheng was still the same trembling look, so she sighed and said: "Okay, the old body will listen to Qingzhao, and don't care about Mingcheng." But Mingcheng, you also need to remember that you are so old, you need to pay attention to your actions. Pay attention to what you say, you just said those words to make your brothers laugh. ”

The eldest and the second looked at each other, expressionless.

Mother Zhao waited for Mingcheng to reply again, but she couldn't wait for his words, she was in a hurry, stomped her feet again, and said to Mingcheng: "Did you hear that?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded weakly and said, "Yes, Mingcheng heard it." ”

Mother Zhao was really angry when she saw him like this, but she thought about the holy decree from the Emperor Fangcai. This matter made him happy, so his face changed, and he smiled and said to the eldest and second: "You two need to make persistent efforts in the official position." Do not be lazy. Your father, he is in the spirit of heaven, and he can look at you! You can only be better than your father, not worse than him, do you hear me? ”

The eldest and second said in unison, "I heard clearly." ”

Mother Zhao was a little relieved at this time, squinted at Mingcheng, and saw that he was still bowing his head, so she shook her head and sighed again, and whispered to herself: "What the master said is not wrong." Mingcheng can't become the climate. ”

Raising his hand and saying to the maid, "Let's go." Mother Zhao snorted lightly again and whispered, "Alas, what can I do about this?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng was still a little reluctant. was about to reply, but was grabbed by the lady and dragged away.

Zhao Mingcheng was indignant in his heart, and said to himself: "What I look like, doesn't my mother know? Why do you have to say that about me? ”

Li Qingzhao pushed Xianggong. Push the prime minister into the door. smiled helplessly with him: "Okay, Xianggong, why are you still so tough?" Mother-in-law said this for your own good. Why do you have to think that? ”

When Zhao Mingcheng saw the appearance of the lady, he really couldn't figure it out, so he argued with the lady: "What I look like, I just make my own decisions, why does my mother have to take care of me this and that." Later, when I went out, it was a joke for people to say that I was so old and still arguing with my mother. ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and smiled: "Just the way you are now......"

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "What's wrong with me like this?" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "It's okay. ”

Zhao Mingcheng still has to be defended. But he felt that the lady threw herself into her arms again. That feeling of softness came to my heart, and I was suddenly overjoyed. Where do you care about jokes or not, and put aside what your mother just said to herself.

Li Qingzhao and Xianggong said coquettishly: "Xianggong has not returned home for many days. When I returned home these days, I was also scared. Now that you know that the emperor has pardoned you, how do you feel? ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled: "Of course I feel good, with the emperor's amnesty, Mingcheng can do whatever he wants in the future." How awesome is that? I went back to the house, and I can get close to my mother. ”

Although Li Qingzhao had a serious face and was happy in his heart, he still asked Xianggong seriously: "Xianggong, what do you think, Hugh wants to say this kind of thing to prevaricate Qingzhao." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said with a straight face: "How can this be a prevarication for a lady?" When Mingcheng returned home, he was naturally sad because of his father. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Mingcheng lowered his head and wiped his tears and wept for a while, but he changed color again, and smiled with the lady: "But Mingcheng is also happy to be able to see the lady again." Now that the emperor has forgiven my sins, then I will be at home with my wife again, and I will not go anywhere. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Is Xianggong so good to me? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said seriously: "Of course, where would Mingcheng deceive the lady?" Mingcheng misses his family all day in prison. Hehe, most of them are missing their mothers. ”

Li Qingzhao was a little fluttering in his heart, but he still said with a straight face: "The prime minister wants to talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said solemnly: "What, don't you believe it, lady?" ”

Li Qingzhao said slowly: "I believe it." However, you can't stay with me at home all day, Xianggong. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Then what should I do?" Do you want to be an official again? I'm not going. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Why don't you go?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "As an official, you still need to deal with this and that all day long, so tired." I don't want to go. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Xianggong said nonsense, being an official is tiring, so why don't you get tired?" You don't want to say that you're at home all day. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "What's wrong with me staying at home? Doesn't the lady want me to be with you at home? ”

Li Qingzhao smiled lightly: "Of course Qingzhao is willing." But Qingzhao still needs to let Xianggong support me! ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Although the Zhao family was defeated, it can be regarded as a family with a lot of wealth, can't it still support a lady?" The lady said that she was not going to let Mingcheng be an official. I want to be an official, but how do I get along with people? Look at the strange smiles people have all day long, I've got enough. ”

As soon as he said that, Zhao Mingcheng turned his head to the side as if he was deflated, and sighed helplessly.

Li Qingzhao immediately understood, and said to Xianggong: "It turns out that Xianggong doesn't want to be an official, but he doesn't want to meet others, or you don't want to talk to others. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "They always laugh from time to time, and I feel uncomfortable laughing. Or say something that doesn't make sense. I don't know what to listen to, I always feel that they are too unnatural. It's not interesting at all, it's better to read a book for a while. Has "Jinshi Lu" been written? ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "Don't open the topic. You don't want to see them, that's not going to happen. Will you stay at home forever? Or do you just stay in this room and don't go out? ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "I just don't want to be an official, and it's not that I don't want to go out." ”

Li Qingzhao said to Xiang Gong: "Xiang Gong didn't think right. The father-in-law is gone, and the father-in-law should be an official. How many people did my father-in-law have had with in court? Our Zhao Mansion is also the capital of the capital, and it is inevitable that there will be any friction with others in the future, without the three of you, we will definitely suffer. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "What loss can you suffer? We are kind to those around us. Nothing. ”

Li Qingzhao pouted and looked at Xianggong, and refused to give up.

Zhao Mingcheng said helplessly: "Even if there is something, isn't there still a big brother and a second brother?" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "You know the eldest brother and the second brother." Why don't you think about yourself? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The way I look, I am not an official, and I don't want to be an official." My dad forced me to go, oops. Never mind. The eldest brother and the second brother are here, and we will never have anything to do. ”

Li Qingzhao stretched out his finger and pointed at Xianggong's head, but he was angry but had nowhere to go, so he had to say patiently: "The eldest brother and the second brother will be separated from us sooner or later, just like you, I will starve to death." ”

Immediately turned around, Li Qingzhao went to the house, stopped and turned around. Seeing Xiang Gong coming after him, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xiang Gong out. He said urgently: "I won't let you go home." ”

There was a squeak, the door closed, and Li Qingzhao leaned his back against the door, angry.

Zhao Mingcheng was outside the door, so he simply didn't knock on the door, shook his head and sighed: "Who can understand me?" Why do you have to be an official, the emperor arrested us by mistake, and we still have to be officials. Sticking a hot face to the emperor's cold ass, what is this for? ”

For several days, Zhao Mingcheng and his wife did not speak, Zhao Mingcheng thought to himself: "Forget it, I will believe in you and rely on you, but you will do this to me." If you ignore me, then I won't care about you. ”

Li Qingzhao thought to himself: "Xianggong is good at all points, but this is not good. If you don't look like a man, how can you gain a foothold? ”

After a few days, Li Qingzhao and Xianggong did not speak, the two looked at each other, awkward to each other, and still did not speak.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Mingcheng was leisurely admiring the flowers in the courtyard, only to hear a sound in the distance, it was the sound of people's hurried footsteps, and when he listened carefully, the sound was close, as if people were crazy. Zhao Mingcheng was very curious in his heart, if he could have such a pace, Zhao Mansion would be himself and his two brothers, and the subordinates would not dare to run like this, but why did the brothers run like this?

Zhao Mingcheng followed the voice, and when he heard the voice, he went to his room, and thought to himself: "It must be coming to me." ”

He quickened his pace and followed in a few steps, Zhao Mingcheng came to the front of the room, and saw that the door of the room was open, and the lady and a person inside were talking. If you look closely, it turns out to be Brother Lu.

Zhao Mingcheng only then solved the suspicions in his heart, no wonder, Brother Lu has never acted informally, and now it seems that it is the same.

Zhao Mingcheng entered the door and laughed loudly with Brother Lu: "It turned out to be Brother Lu." ”

Li Qingzhao is used to talking to Xiang Gong, and he was already laughing with Brother Lu, but now he also smiled with Xiang Gong by the way: "Yes." ”

After Li Qingzhao said that, he suddenly felt wrong, and then looked at Xianggong, and saw that he was looking at him seriously, and he was embarrassed in his heart: "I can't see him, why do I want to answer him?" Xianggong doesn't care about me, I'm bored with myself. ”

Zhao Mingcheng also ignored the lady, and then said to Brother Lu: "Brother Lu, please sit down." ”

Li Qingzhao originally wanted to say this, but let Xianggong take the lead, and he stretched out his hand, but he didn't know how to say it, so he smiled with Brother Lu and motioned for him to sit down, and he didn't speak.

Lu Defu was happy, sat down directly, drank a few large mouthfuls of water, stretched out his sleeves and wiped his mouth, and said to him: "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao, Defu wants to tell you, you have to be careful." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "What's wrong? ”

Lu Defu said: "Lord Cai must not be ready to let go. ”

Li Qingzhao knew that the Defu brothers were arrested by Lord Cai, and they must have suffered a lot. Looking at the Defu brothers now, I didn't ask much about his situation, but I heard him say that he should be careful, so he also asked curiously: "What the hell is going on?" Brother Doff, you don't have to panic, take your time. ”

Lu Defu said: "Defu doesn't go around in circles with you, so he will talk to you directly." Dev was in Cai's mansion and was scolded by his father-in-law. I was originally a stubborn temper, he said I was good, I was happy. He said I was not good, and I was going to fight against him. Therefore, the dispute lasted for many days, but to no avail. To be honest, it's all up to Yun'er to say good things for me in the middle. Otherwise, I'd be miserable. ”

Li Qingzhao secretly smiled, and thought to himself: "So you still know? It's good that you're the way you are, and you've been able to hold on until now. But fortunately, Sister Yun'er supports you, and you don't have to be sad. ”

Lu Defu continued: "When my father-in-law scolded me, he said that I was just like you, and I would be a disaster in the future, and I must get rid of it first. ”

Zhao Mingcheng glared and said, "When did he say that?" ”

Lu Defu said: "That's what I said this morning." My father-in-law also said that he wanted me to go out of the capital and not stay here. Yun'er said some good things for me. I don't know what's going on, but my father-in-law released me anyway. I must go out of the capital. Presumably you too, you have to be careful. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "He dares, what he says is what?" The emperor can find out, how can he be allowed to act recklessly? ”

Lu Defu smiled: "If he can arrest the three of you brothers, can't he drive you out?" ”

Li Qingzhao asked again: "Lord Cai, did he really say that?" ”

Lu Defu nodded and said, "Yes." Father-in-law, he won't even let me go, so don't mention it, presumably you won't be able to escape his poisonous hands. ”

Li Qingzhao said: "What can I do about this? Are we going to be relegated back? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said with a straight face: "Wrong, the lady is wrong, we are not officials now, this is not called degrading back, this is called rushing back." ”

Li Qingzhao was already angry with Xianggong, but at this time he was even more angry, and said bluntly to Xianggong: "Are you confused? It's all like this, and you're still arguing with me, so why should I take a fancy to you? It doesn't end well with you. ”

Zhao Mingcheng was weak-hearted, and he didn't argue with the lady anymore, but laughed softly with her: "Then what should we do?" ”

Li Qingzhao said bluntly: "Pack up your things and go back to your hometown." ”

Zhao Mingcheng was unwilling to give in anymore, but he also puffed up his chest and said bluntly to his mother: "Go back, go back, go back to your own home." Mingcheng didn't want to be an official, but now it's just right to go back to my hometown, and I seem calm. (To be continued.) )
