Li Qiniang saw that Li Zhongyi's mood was a little low, so she used a chopsticks to hold a chopstick for him, and said with a smile: "Master, what do you want?" Breakfast is not good? ”

When he was alone with his own woman, Li Zhongyi never paid attention to the rules of eating and not speaking, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a long breath, and sighed: "It took countless efforts, but what I got was a dream, and I was panicked." ”

Li Zhongyi is happy to chat with Li Qiniang in private, talk about confidant words, and make things difficult, Li Qiniang has also heard about some things about artillery.

Although Li Qiniang didn't understand how powerful the artillery was, it wasn't something she should worry about, but Li Zhongyi's mood was not good, so she wanted to make him happy, and deliberately said in a pinched tone: "Yesterday, Mrs. Jin brought a noble lady and a noble girl to come in to visit Aunt Jin, who was a confinement child, and the slave family took a look at it, hehe, that noble girl really looks like a flower, I feel sorry for it......."

The women in the house, starting from Zhu Niang to Caijiao, gave birth to children or daughters one after another, and for a time there was no hostess to take care of the affairs of the house, so Li Zhongyi ordered Li Qiniang to temporarily take care of the housework.

According to the rules, whether a foreign woman enters or leaves the house, she must visit the lady in charge. With the consent of the lady in charge, and send the maid to accompany him all the way with a special pair of cards, he can pass freely in the second gate.

The Zheng family led people in to visit Caijiao, and if Li Qiniang didn't know, something would happen.

Li Zhongyi has always been a military rule of law, and if he does not conform to the rules, he will be punished with a cane at the slightest and killed with a cane, and he will never be spared.

After Li Qiniang took charge of the family, the more affairs she managed, the more she realized the power of the military rule of law. In this back house, everyone abides by their duties, and no one dares to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

Even if they are favored aunts, the big girls around them don't dare to bully others, and they are pampered and coquettish.

It's nothing else, Li Qiniang feels most worry-free that the women in the back house of the old Li family need to pay for their own food and clothing.

According to the rules, the women in the back house receive a large amount of monthly silver money regularly according to their own standards every month.

This fixed monthly silver money includes all expenses such as rewarding subordinates, wanting to eat ginseng, wanting to stew bird's nest, and wanting to wear clothes of Shu brocade.

The rules for the use of monthly money are simple and clear: it will be paid on time, and the excess expenses will not be compensated, and those that have not been spent can be used as private money.

For example, if Aunt Ye wants to eat stewed venison today, she must give the lady in charge a food list before noon yesterday, and send the corresponding expenses with the bill.

After Li Qiniang took the order, she only needed to instruct the housekeeper to go out to purchase.

In this way, God knows how much trouble is saved?

What other people's homes are like, Li Qiniang doesn't know. Her mother, who is in charge of the housework of the Huayang County Palace, has been busy all year round, and her body is not as good as day by day, but she is clearly understood.

What's worse is that although Li Qiniang's biological mother is so tired that she is almost out of breath, she is always happy to do it, but she is afraid of losing the power to be in charge, which is really strange!

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that Li Qiniang just wanted to distract him and hint that the Zheng family brought people in to visit Caijiao, but it actually had ulterior motives.

No matter how generous a woman is, it is impossible to push her own man into the arms of other women without any guilt, and Li Qiniang is no exception.

However, in order to make Li Zhongyi happy, Li Qiniang would rather let other women share their favors, and this love really made Li Zhongyi feel very heavy and a little unbearable.

Li Zhongyi took a chopstick Li Qiniang's favorite sauce elbow, put it into the food plate in front of her, and said with a smile: "Eat more, there is too little meat." ”

Li Qiniang heard the word meat, her pink cheeks were irrepressibly red, her ears were hot for no reason, and she said shyly: "Talk nonsense." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled proudly, although Li Qiniang was not broken, she slept between the pillows every night, and there were lovers hugging each other, and it was conceivable that some things would happen.

Meat, this meat is not other meat, Li Qiniang understands, Li Zhongyi knows, and no one else knows.

Li Zhongyi waited for Li Qiniang to eat the sauce elbow on the plate, and then grabbed a chopstick for her to blow up the wind (pig ear), which is also a must-order dish for Li Qiniang every day, and she loves to eat it very much.

With the solid family background of the palace of Huayang County, Li Qiniang is the eldest granddaughter, and she is quite favored by Li Qiong, and she has long been tired of eating mutton that is rare for ordinary people.

On the contrary, ordinary people occasionally give up their silver money to beat the pig elbow and pig ears for tooth sacrifices, and even the pig water that the rich and noble never touch, as long as it is marinated with large ingredients, Li Qiniang is willing to eat it, and she loves to eat it very much.

When the army was out on the march, Li Zhongyi and ordinary soldiers ate exactly the same food, which was a few hard pancakes, soaked in a large bowl of mutton bone soup sprinkled with green onions, eating warmly, sweating profusely, and enjoying themselves.

In the morning at home, Li Zhongyi also eats relatively simply. A large bowl of pork, white siad, bamboo shoots combined with three fresh hand-rolled noodles, with a few pickles, soup and water to eat, smell fragrant and fill the stomach.

It's just that since Li Qiniang came from Kaifeng, in order to take care of the life of the beautiful woman, so as not to wronged the beautiful girl. On the dining table in her courtyard, all kinds of food have become dazzling: there are seven or eight kinds of xiaolongbao alone, not to mention rare foods such as noodles and fritters, as long as it is Li Qiniang's favorite breakfast, there is everything.

After breakfast, Li Zhongyi held the tea cup in his hand and leaned on the chaise longue, pondering a new way to improve the artillery casting process.

Li Qiniang came out of the clean room, sat on the small brocade stool next to the chaise longue casually, and whispered: "Master, there is a saying in the slave family, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”

Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at Li Qiniang, and found that she was frowning and looking worried, so he put down the teacup, took her little hand, and said, "Homesick?" ”

Li Qiniang wanted to say something else, but let Li Zhongyi break it up like this, but it really aroused her homesickness, and she couldn't help sighing: "Alas, I've been out for so long, and I really miss the osmanthus cake made by my mother." I don't know, is my grandfather's old cold leg sick again? ”

"Lady, separation from family is always temporary, and sooner or later we will return to Kaifeng to live permanently."

Since the second crossing, Li Zhongyi has been away from home for more than two years, although he has been in correspondence with his family, knowing that there is nothing to do at home, he still worries about whether the children are naughty again, whether the parents' bodies are strong, and whether the concubines who stay at home are fighting openly and secretly again?

Just when Li Zhongyi was thinking wildly, Li Qiniang finally remembered what she was about to say, and whispered: "Master, that Aunt Jin is still in confinement, and this daughter's body is expensive, and the slave family is worried that she will not be able to raise her body and will suffer a big loss in the future." ”

Li Zhongyi frowned slightly, and then realized that Li Qiniang meant something, but he was afraid that he suspected that the Zheng family had entered and exited the back house too many times?

It's no wonder that Li Qiniang is suspicious, don't say that it is the back house of the dignified Duke of Chu, even if it is the home of ordinary people, how can there be a concubine's mother who visits her daughter every once in a while?

Seeing Li Zhongyi's thoughtful look, Li Qiniang knew that after being reminded, the man listened, so he directly threw out the topic of worry, "If it's an ordinary day, it's okay, you're a big hero...... If there's a slight slip-up...... The slave family can only accompany you ......"

Li Zhongyi was worried that Li Qiniang noticed the J relationship between him and the Zheng family, but he didn't think that Li Qiniang was worried that the Zheng family would leak the news.

Due to the existence of indecent personal affairs, Li Zhongyi was worried that the spread would affect his family's reputation, so he changed all the male servants and maids who served beside the Zheng family.

Now, the people around the Zheng family are all confidants sent by Li Zhongyi from Kaifeng's Beizhuang. These henchmen not only help to serve and take care of the Zheng family, but also secretly keep an eye on the Zheng family, so as not to leak important news and bring unnecessary trouble.

Li Qiniang's worries are indeed reasonable, and what she said is serious. It's just that what Li Qiniang doesn't know is that because the women around her are in confinement, the fire burning in Li Zhongyi's body can only be secretly vented on Zheng's body.

Don't look at Li Zhongyi resting next to Li Qiniang every night, as long as the Zheng family enters the mansion, he will always sneak to the heated swimming pool in the afternoon when the official business is completed, and secretly meet with the Zheng family.

To tell the truth, the stolen pleasure is like a big cigarette addiction, and when Li Zhongyi is free, if he doesn't steal it once or twice, his heart will itch.

However, now that Li Qiniang noticed the Zheng family, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but think about it. In case Li Qiniang noticed the affair between Li Zhongyi and Zheng through some clues, but was embarrassed to expose it directly, it would be a bit tricky.

Li Qiniang abandoned the reputation of her daughter's family and traveled thousands of miles to find Li Zhongyi, Li Zhongyi is not a hard-hearted person, how can she not be moved?

"Well, it's not good for you to talk to Caijiao about this, when I go back, remind her, don't let the Zheng family come too often." Li Zhongyi pretended to be like this, and after lightly coming up with a solution, he kept looking at Li Qiniang and observing her reaction.

Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's very good." Although the slave family is temporarily in charge of household affairs, they are nameless and dispensing after all......"

Li Zhongyi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, from this point of view, Li Qiniang still didn't know about the unsightly affairs between him and the Zheng family, in order to prevent Li Qiniang from saying sad words, he raised his hand to cover her little mouth, and at the same time pulled her little hand, pressed it on the atrium of his left chest, and said gently: "Kiss, don't you know my heart?" ”

Who knows, Li Qiniang rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "The slave family only knows that the man is a man with vision, and a woman who waits for leisure is absolutely uneyed." ”

Li Zhongyi touched his chin with some embarrassment, Li Qiniang obviously didn't have much confidence in whether he could control his crotch and not mess with beautiful women.

"That's it, that's it, as long as you have a place for the slave family in your heart, the slave family will be satisfied." Li Qiniang didn't want to stimulate Li Zhongyi too much, so she immediately built a step for him, lest he lose face and hurt the relationship between the two.
