The eldest brother Li Anguo is here, and Li Zhongyi naturally can't go to Ye Xiaolan again, and it is impossible to call Ye Xiaolan, Han Xianglan and other concubines to accompany the wine.

Family friendliness refers to the informality between friends, not between relatives. For example, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu, two brothers with different surnames who have officially worshipped, Li Zhongyi invited the concubines to pour wine and vegetables, which is a special respect for the brothers.

Li Anguo is Li Zhongyi's eldest brother, and his sister Li Qiniang can accompany him to pour wine and serve food, but there is no reason to arrange a concubine to entertain his brother-in-law.

Li Zhongyi ordered to go down and let people inform Ye Xiaolan that there was no need to wait for him. Li Anguo noticed that Li Qiniang raised the corners of his lips high, with his understanding of his sister's temper, this was obviously a sign of a happy mood.

In addition, Li Zhongyi focused on instructing the maid to arrange for the kitchen to clean up a table of the best table, and he wanted to treat his uncle well.

"Zhengqing, let Qi Niang accompany you to cheer for homely conversations, and I'll go to the kitchen to clean up a few snacks."

Li Zhongyi actually wants to cook in person, this is the first honor besides Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu.

Li Anguo suddenly couldn't sit still, he was making a joke and begging for mercy, even if he was a fool, he didn't dare to enjoy such a big face with peace of mind!

Li Qiniang was extremely comfortable in her heart, she could see that the man deliberately wanted to avoid going out, and let her talk to her brother and her brother.

After all, it has been more than a year since the last goodbye between the brother and sister and they haven't seen each other. When relatives meet, there must be a lot to say, and Li Zhongyi's presence has artificially created restraints.

Li Zhongyi took the initiative to cook, which not only gave them room to speak, but also showed their affection, why not?

After sending Li Zhongyi out, Li Qiniang turned her head and glanced at Li Anguo, deliberately grimacing, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"How? Xiaomei is not wrong, I am especially in my heart. Li Qiniang showed her affection in a big way, which made Li Anguo cry and laugh.

Li Anguo sighed and said, "At the beginning, you insisted on eloping and throwing yourself into Li Zhongyi's arms, but you didn't even count your reputation. To be honest, I, as an elder brother, disagree with it very much. ”

"And now?" Li Qiniang played with the honey teacup in her hand, which Li Zhongyi alone ordered the potter to burn for her. Although it is a white porcelain cup, it is not precious at all, but the affection in it makes her like a honey pot.

"Now, your third brother and I have a stupid idea, Kaifeng City in the future, hehe, see who is more happy than me?" Li Anguo smiled unusually well, and he looked like a thief, as if a weasel had stolen a hen.

Li Qiniang has always known Li Anguo's true temperament, Li Anguo is nominally an old gangster and a big man in Kaifeng City, but in fact, he has always made big mistakes and never made mistakes, and the innocuous small mistakes continued, which made the officials of Kaifeng Mansion hate them with a toothache, but they were helpless.

"Don't be complacent too early, I've discussed it, after you come this time, don't leave, go directly to the recruit camp to participate in training, and in the future, you can get a career in the army, and only after you have made war achievements will you have a knighthood." Li Qiniang's words smashed down, and if the ice water of the thirty-nine days was poured down, Li Anguo's face would be so frightened that his face turned white in an instant.

"Impossible, right? I'm your brother-in-law, so how can you play with me like this? Li Anguo glared at Li Qiniang with a heartfelt anger.

Li Qiong and Li Zhongyi have been secretly communicating with each other, and the Huayang County Mansion knows a little about the surface situation of Li Jiajun.

Li Anguo also followed Li Qiong to know some "shady scenes" in the Li family's army, Li Zhongyi was quite willing to pay money, and in just over a year, he had quietly sent no less than 100,000 gifts to the palace of Huayang County.

However, there are gains and losses, and the other side of Li Zhongyi's willingness to spend money is that the army is extremely harsh.

In the Li family's army, no matter how fierce your background is or how noble your family is, you must participate in the rigorous training of the new barracks.

After you are promoted to the deputy team leader of the school inspection school because of your military merits, you must enter the lecture hall for further study, and only after you successfully complete the course can you be the team leader, and you will not have the title of school inspector.

Don't look at Li Anguo's age, he has been rampant in Kaifeng City for six years, and he has long been raised by the Huahua World to be unusually loose, where can he still suffer from the ordinary Qiu Ba in the military camp?

"Good sister, don't mind, my grandfather ordered me to return to Kaifeng immediately after I finish delivering the letter, and there is something important to do." Li Anguo dangled a shot, and wanted to get away with a sloppy eye.

It's a pity that Li Anguo is facing his own sister who grew up with him since he was a child, how can such an old-fashioned sophistry be hidden from Li Qiniang's eyes?

Li Qiniang didn't bother to expose Li Anguo's lies, she smiled and said, "What do I know about your man's affairs?" If you are not happy to blame Lang's arrangement, just discuss it with him directly, and I can't control it anyway. ”

Li Anguo was suddenly like a frosted eggplant, his whole body was wilted, and he drooped his head for a long time without speaking. His brain didn't enter the water, did he have the guts to reject Li Zhongyi's decision?

On the surface, it seems that Li Zhongyi and Li Qiong are an equal alliance, but in fact, it is the Huayang County Royal Mansion that needs to rely on Li Zhongyi's help in order to occupy a place in the future court.

In the eyes of the grass people, the king of Huayang County is still an unattainable palace, looking majestic and extravagant. However, in the small circle of high-ranking officials above the fourth grade, no one has long regarded Li Qiongzhen as a big dish.

After Li Anguo learned the news that Li Qiniang was going to elope, he only hesitated for a moment, not only did not stop him, but did his best to help his sister run away.

Although Li Anguo never said it, the root cause is actually that the Huayang County Mansion is really going downhill, and Li Zhongyi's strength is thriving, like a rising sun!

Of course, Li Anguo can see that Li Qiniang has read too much and has become a bookworm, and she has completely torn her face to find true love regardless of the reputation of the princess.

In the past, when Li Qiong was in power, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion borrowed 80,000 of their courage, and they did not dare to stop Li Anguo from picking his nose and eyes.

Now, Li Anguo is still nominally the head of the capital, but in fact, it has long been an empty shelf. The newly rising gentlemen have already excluded Li Anguo from the circle and don't play with him at all.

Society is such a reality, the little follower who used to call his brother all the time, now he has the courage to throw his face to Li Anguo, can the uncle bear it, and the aunt can bear it?

Li Qiniang sighed with both hands, and deliberately sighed: "Alas, I don't count as a woman, what is the use of you talking to me about this?" ”

Li Anguo wailed for a while, if he had the courage to talk to Li Zhongyi, what would it be necessary to pester Li Qiniang?

Li Zhongyi personally went to the kitchen and prepared a few side dishes with wine, braised hooves, sweet and sour fish, stewed mutton, fried white siad with lard residue, scrambled eggs with leeks, and chicken soup with straw mushrooms.

When the table was served, Li Zhongyi personally poured a glass of wine for Li Anguo, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I have arranged it just now, you can stay at home for five days, and then go to the recruit camp to report." ”

Li Anguo lowered his head and sighed weakly: "Sister-in-law, you really hate it, can I say no?" ”

Li Zhongyi just didn't see Li Anguo's depressed appearance, and said lightly: "When your nephews all grow up, they will all enter the new barracks, and no one will be missing." ”

Come on, Li Anguo is just a little squirrel, and he is not a big fool, no matter how noble his identity is, can he compare to Li Zhongyi's own sons?

Li Qiniang pursed her red lips and smiled secretly, her heart was beautiful, how could a man not like it if he was so thoughtful about her family's affairs?

When Li Anguo was in Kaifeng, except for his grandfather Li Qiong, no one was afraid, and Li Qiniang was always worried that the Huayang County Mansion would be a loser.

Well, what kind of state is the new barracks of the Li family's army, even if Li Qiniang doesn't understand military affairs at all, she has heard of the dire situation.

Last time, Li Qiniang accompanied Li Zhongyi to live in the barracks for a few days. Li Qiniang saw in the carriage that the recruits were standing in a military posture under the scorching sun, and their posture was a little non-standard, so they would be called out by the old chief and beaten with military sticks in public.

If you dare to cry, you will be beaten doubly. After the beating, go and stand in a military position, not to mention how perverted it is!

After three months of training, those who pass the training will be formally distributed to each battalion and team, and will receive formal combat skills training in accordance with the principle of one veteran leading one recruit.

Those who fail to pass the training of recruits will be directly relegated to the ranks of auxiliary soldiers, Li Qiniang still clearly remembers the ridicule of men: get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and do more work than cows, this is the daily life of auxiliary soldiers.

The table was full of delicacies, but Li Anguo seemed to have bitten through the bitter gall, and his mouth was even more bitter.

I knew that there was today, so why bother to throw myself into the net, what a cheap NN for!

Li Zhongyi has been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, and he actually doesn't have much appetite, but Li Qiniang's appetite is excellent.

has always been disgusted with the braised hooves that are too greasy, Li Qiniang actually gnawed two in one go, far exceeding her food limit, which shows that her appetite is good?

The three of them eat together, and they have their own merits. Li Zhongyi drank up two bottles of daughter red, but he didn't eat much. Li Qiniang ate unprecedentedly, her little stomach swelled uncomfortably, and she drank hawthorn water in small sips with tears in her eyes.

Li Anguo, who originally dreamed of being the first gentleman in Kaifeng, barely moved his chopsticks, and sighed a few times from time to time, wanting to awaken Li Zhongyi's sympathy.

However, Li Zhongyi only did not have such a big person as Li Anguo in the West Flower Hall, he picked up the tea cup, tasted the tea slowly, and the wine in his mouth.

When she slipped away after dinner, Li Qiniang grabbed Li Zhongyi's left arm and said with a smile: "Blame Lang, there is really you, our little overlord, it's up to you to straighten it out." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly and said, "What should I do with him?" Throw him into the boot barracks, and there will be good people who will entertain him well. ”

"Hee-hee, thief, why did the slave fall in love with such a bad guy as you?"
