The cold wind is even more bitter in the dark night, and the people who blow are shivering.

It wasn't until the second watch that Li Qi returned home, looking slightly tired.

"Husband, you're finally back."

As soon as Li Qi stepped into the courtyard, his three wives came out, looking very flustered.

Li Qi's nerves, which were already tense, were beating again, and he said nervously: "Is something wrong?" ”

The three girls were all stunned, and Ji Hongnu asked, "Big brother, where are you going today?" ”

Feng Yinu said with a guilty face: "Husband, are you angry with us?" ”

It turned out to be a false alarm, and they were just worried about me. Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "I don't have such a small amount of energy, during the day in the Taiwei Mansion, I didn't leave because of business, let's go in, it's cold standing outside." ”

When he came to the back hall, the warm fireplace made Li Qi's nerves relax a little, and Ji Hongnu hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea and said, "Big brother, are you tired, do you want to take a hot bath first, I will go and order someone to help you boil water now." ”

"Wait."

Li Qi took Ji Hongnu's hand, asked her to sit down, coughed lightly, and said, "I may have to go to Jiangnan a few days in advance." ”

"Huh?"

Regarding Li Qi's expedition, the three daughters already knew, but originally Li Qi planned to go south after the Lantern Festival. Feng Yinu worried: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, but there are some things that I need to deal with." ”

Feng Yinu looked at Li Qi with a little reluctance, after all, he and Li Qi were newlyweds, of course, they didn't want to be separated from Li Qi, but she also knew that Li Qi was not an ordinary person, he had a lot of heavy burdens on his shoulders, but it was a pity that they couldn't help Li Qi share some of the burdens, so he just said: "Husband, go out." You have to be careful in everything. ”

Richie snorted.

Yelu Gu said, "Husband, I'll go with you." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You stay here to take care of this family, and you have to stay in Tokyo, help me contact Yelu Dashi, I will stay here to help you, I just take Maqiao and the drunkard there." Rest assured, this is the time to go on this expedition. I'm running to hit people, not being beaten, so no matter what, I'm not in any danger. ”

After hearing this, the three girls relaxed a little. Yelu didn't force it, she understood the purpose of Li Qi's stay here. The main thing is to protect Ji Hongnu and them, nodded and said, "Husband, don't worry, we will definitely take care of the family." ”

Li Qi nodded, held Feng Yinu's hand again, and said, "Yinu, I'm going this time." I'm also going to take the teacher girl there, you know, it's too dangerous for her to stay here. ”

Feng Yinu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then my sister agreed?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "I just came from her." ”

Faced with the departure of two close relatives, Feng Yinu was even more reluctant in her heart, but she also understood that Master Li stayed here. It's too dangerous, Li Qi is fine here, but once Li Qi leaves Tokyo, if something happens, she really can't help at all, and said with red eyes: "That--that husband, can I." ”

Don't wait for her to finish. Li Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, before leaving, I will definitely arrange for you to meet with the teacher, and she also wants to see you." ”

Feng Yinu nodded happily

Due to a change in plans. Li Qi had to step up his handling of the affairs in hand, from the twenty-ninth to the third day of the Lunar New Year, he almost ran at both ends of the company and the official office, and he had to accompany Feng Yinu and them at night.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

In the evening, Bai Qiannuo dragged his tired body out, as an economic envoy, the busiest day is the New Year, because at this time, foreign envoys are gathered to come to Beijing, and they come here, the main problem is still about trade, this matter naturally belongs to the Bureau of Commerce.

In the past, when Li Qi was the economic envoy, he only met with some major envoys, and as for the rest of the matters, he handed them over to Qin Hui, and Bai Qiannuo did not have a Qin Hui to help her, and she had to grasp all the big and small matters with one hand, and her workload could be imagined.

What about cars?

Bai Qiannuo came to the door, looked left and right, and now the carriage was not parked in front of the door as before, and was about to call someone, when he suddenly felt a trace of coolness floating on his face, and couldn't help but look up and mutter: "It's snowing." ”

"Yes! It's snowing. ”

Before the sound fell, Bai Qiannuo saw an umbrella covering the dark sky, turned his head to look, and saw Li Qi looking at him with a smile on his face, and said in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'll send you back."

Bai Qiannuo was stunned, and then nodded.

The two walked side by side to the east, and after walking for a while, Bai Qiannuo suddenly asked, "By the way, where are you going on the day Run'er gets married?" ”

Li Qi said: "There are some official matters to deal with. ”

"What's the matter?"

"About Jiangnan."

"Are you going south?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"You can't bear me? If you can't help it, I can go a year later. ”

Bai Qiannuo rolled his eyes slightly, automatically filtered the words, and said, "This place is far away from my house, are you sure we have to go back?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "It's not very far, it's there in front." ”

"Huh?"

"Did you have dinner?"

Bai Qiannuo thought about it for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

Li Qi said speechlessly: "Look at you, I'm so busy that I don't even remember having dinner, how can you tell me to leave with confidence." ”

"I said no."

"But you obviously thought about it for a while."

“!”

"Brother Li, Sister Qi'er."

Walking and walking, he suddenly heard Chen Anan's voice in front of him, Bai Qiannuo looked up, and saw that not far in front, Chen Anan was waving his hand here, and there was a carriage parked next to him, and the carriage was flooded with candlelight. She couldn't help but look at Li Qi curiously.

Li Qi smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely want to walk back with you, but at least I have to eat well." ”

"Anan."

Bai Qiannuo walked over, nodded lightly to Chen Anan, and said, "Where is your horse guard?" ”

Li Qi sighed: "The horse guard said that he wanted to accompany Meimei, so he left me alone, so I had to find this kid." As he spoke, he held out a hand, "Please." ”

Bai Qiannuo hesitated slightly, but still put his hand on it.

Li Qi only felt a trace of cold delicacy coming from his palm. "Your hands are so cold."

"It's cold."

As he spoke, Bai Qiannuo had already gotten into the carriage.

Richie smiled and stepped forward.

When Bai Qiannuo opened the door curtain, he was stunned, only to see a coffee table in the carriage, and on the coffee table were three plates, two of which contained a heart-shaped steak. In the middle of the room, there is a smiling face, and there is a glass of colorful wine next to it, which is even more beautiful in the yellowed candlelight.

This dish and this glass of wine are all too familiar to Bai Qiannuo, it is the smile and the Caccino.

Bai Qiannuo couldn't help but be stunned. Glancing at Li Qi again, Li Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Bai Qiannuo lowered his head slightly and walked in.

Li Qi then got in, sat opposite Bai Qiannuo, picked up the knife and fork and said, "You must be hungry, let's talk while eating." ”

Bai Qiannuo smelled the aroma of steak. Fang Jue was extremely hungry, so he hummed, picked up the knife and fork and ate it.

After eating for a while, Li Qi suddenly said, "I'm leaving soon, don't you have something to tell me?" ”

"I-cough-cough-cough."

"Slow down, slow down, don't eat, don't sleep. The ancients still made a lot of sense when they spoke. ”

Li Qi secretly wiped a cold sweat and secretly handed over a glass of slightly hot water.

Bai Qiannuo hurriedly took a sip of water, only then did he ease up, and glared at Li Qi, the culprit, this is really a thief shouting to catch a thief, and said angrily with a red face: "I thought you should have something to say to me." ”

"Okay, let's go public before private." Li Qi's expression was slightly helpless. Then he put down his knife and fork and said seriously: "After I leave, the capital will depend on you." ”

Bai Qiannuo hesitated for a moment and hummed softly.

Li Qi seemed to lack confidence when she heard her. "What? Don't have faith? ”

Bai Qiannuo suddenly put down his knife and fork, and said: "Seriously, I am indeed lacking in confidence, once upon a time, I thought I could do it, but after entering the court as an official, I realized that this water is deeper than I imagined, especially Qin Hui, he seems to have been born to be a prime minister, with my ability, to be able to keep the Commerce Bureau from being lost, it is enough to choke, if I want to fight with Qin Hui, this is afraid." ”

Li Qi nodded with a smile and said, "You can say this, it proves that you have made great progress, but you don't have to be afraid of Qin Hui at all." ”

Bai Qiannuo frowned and said, "Why? ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Since I came back from Yanyun, all the actions have been done privately between me and the emperor, in the court, I have not made any movements, not only that, but I have also repeatedly retreated, which makes many people unable to understand, including Cai Jing, Gao Yu, oh, and my mother-in-law, I believe that even if Qin Hui is smart, it is impossible to guess my intentions."

If I'm not mistaken, he must be very confused now, he hopes that I can make a move, in that case, he can understand what he should do, and you just want to help him understand clearly, clearly know what he should do as a prime minister, you wait and see, once you make a move, Qin Hui will definitely feel very happy, but in the face of you, he is still very confident, he is afraid of me who is far away in the south, with my understanding of him, if he is not very sure to hit me together, He won't do anything to you. ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded frequently when he listened, and said, "But he will try his best to prevent me from showing his power." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Yes, but as an economic envoy, you have a drunken immortal in your hand, and more importantly, you are still my wife, and it is very difficult for him to completely restrain you, so our plan is half successful." ”

Bai Qiannuo thought for a while before he said, "I think I know what to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "But you have to keep in mind that there is also the emperor watching from above, anything about you must not be related to the old prince Zhao Huan, otherwise, we will be cocooned and self-bound, in addition, no matter what you do, even if you make a mistake, the emperor will look at my face, spare you once, at most, it will be you to the official, and there will be no worry about your life, so without violating the emperor's taboo, you can let it go." ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "Yes." I remembered. ”

Li Qi said: "Oh, there is another point, I have not mentioned it, that is, about the glass mirror, once the glass mirror appears, then the copper mirror will be eliminated, and the copper mirror is for the copper price." It is also very important, once the copper mirror is eliminated, then the copper price will definitely fluctuate, but after I leave, no one except you knows when the glass mirror will start to be sold. Then this is your chance to make a contribution. ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded.

Li Qi said: "Okay, that's all I have to say, and the rest has already been told to you that night." ”

Bai Qiannuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it dangerous for you to go on this expedition?" ”

Li Qi didn't answer and asked: "Do you think Dali can have Jin Guoqiang?" ”

"Nope."

"Isn't that it?" Li Qi smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, because after I leave, you will have a lot to worry about." But you have to take care of your body, and although I have said this many times, I still have to say it again, the body is the capital of success. ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded, and said, "Actually, I still have a question that I have always wanted to ask you." ”

"What?"

"In your original plan, it wasn't me to be the economic envoy, so who was your choice at that time?"

Li Qi was stunned. Sigh: "Me." ”

"You?"

Li Qi nodded and said, "You know, the next two steps of the plan are related to the future of our family, and I really can't completely trust others." I'm referring to someone else, not you, and since I've said that, I think I have something to say to you.

Maybe I told you in advance, and we could have handled it more perfectly. But after all, I am a human being, not a god, and there are many things that I cannot control with one hand, even if it is my own thoughts. You didn't understand my difficulties at the time. That's because you have never experienced the sense of crisis on the cusp of the storm, if you take a wrong step, you will fall into a place of no return, this feeling is impossible to explain, but now you are in my position, understand how deep and muddy the water is in the court, understand what it means to be murderous, I believe you should also be able to understand me at that time, if you don't understand now, after I leave, you will also experience it personally. ”

Bai Qiannuo groaned for a while, nodded lightly, and said, "I have already experienced it, but you can't understand how sad I was at that time." ”

Li Qi said: "Although I can't understand it, and I never have experienced it, but I can imagine it, because if I were you, I would be the same, so I never blamed you from beginning to end." To tell you the truth, a long time ago, I had prepared a set of flawless flickering - oh no, the explanation, but what I didn't expect was that the old man would be so angry that he would fall ill, and he would be so sick that the emperor would also issue that holy decree in advance, and it was these accidents that made my explanation unspeakable, causing me to die so many brain cells in vain. ”

Bai Qiannuo said: "Didn't you already say it?" ”

Li Qi was surprised: "How do you know? ”

Bai Qiannuo rolled his eyes slightly and said, "As you said, your explanation is almost impeccable. ”

"Almost? That is, imperfection, I don't know where the loopholes are? ”

"It's just perfect."

Li Qi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, imperfection is the most perfect, just like me, I am also close to perfect." ”

The corners of Bai Qiannuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Are you still eating this meal?" ”

"Of course. It's a candlelit dinner that I've prepared. ”

"But if you keep going on like this, I think it's going to be hard for me to eat."

"Ugh."

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Oh, so you're playing tricks on me!" ”

"I'm just talking about things." Bai Qiannuo picked up the knife and fork and said: "Correct your sentence again, it is food and silence, sleep is silent, not food is silent, sleep is silent, this sentence comes from the Analects." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"No, I just wanted to remind you that it's time for dinner."

After that, Bai Qiannuo picked up the knife and fork and ate it.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and muttered, "It's really hateful, bullying me for not reading much." ”

Bai Qiannuo didn't hear it, and ate by himself, but there was a little smile in his eyes.

The two of them began to eat again.

Soon, in silence, the two of them wiped out the steak, and Li Qi pushed the smile in front of Bai Qiannuo and said, "Taste it." ”

"Thank you."

Bai Qiannuo was not polite, and ate directly. When she was eating the steak just now, her eyes kept wandering over this dish, because this dish had an extraordinary meaning to her.

"Don't eat naked, how about you taste this wine?"

Bai Qiannuo picked up the wine glass and saw that Cachino was in the glass against the backdrop, showing its beauty vividly and exquisitely. I couldn't help but stay stunned for a while before I took a shallow taste.

Richie asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"Good."

"I'm talking about a difference from the last time I made it for you?"

Bai Qiannuo thought about it seriously and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

Li Qi said: "This is a good reason for us." ”

"What's the truth?"

"There's something that hasn't changed from start to finish, like this smile and this Caccino."

With the help of this candlelight dinner, the feelings inside are heating up rapidly, but this is for Chen Anan, who is driving. It was very difficult, because he had to control the time, and he had to drive the carriage to Bai Qiannuo's house just right, not too late, not too early.

Thankfully, he did.

It's not easy!

Li Qi helped Bai Qiannuo get out of the carriage.

"I'm going back, be careful on your way."

"Wait."

Li Qi suddenly stopped Bai Qiannuo, turned around and returned to the car. After a while, he came out again, but saw a few more bright red flowers in his hands, which were even more beautiful in the cold winter.

"For you."

For Li Qi, who has not been so serious about sending flowers to a woman for a long time, he seems very handy, and he doesn't know what to say.

As the first woman Li Qi came to the Northern Song Dynasty, Bai Qiannuoke was the first time to receive Li Qi's flowers. It is also the first time in my life to receive flowers, whether it is in the future or in the present, the flower offensive will always be irresistible for women.

"Qi Niang."

Although the hand is raw, Li Qi still grasps the timing inaccurately, and looks at Bai Qiannuo affectionately. Slowly lower your head.

Bai Qiannuo heard Li Qi call her, raised her head, and saw Li Qi leaning his face over, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. She looked very surprised, she hadn't received flowers, she didn't know the routine, she felt very abrupt about Li Qi's behavior, what was the situation, but her inner struggle was even more intense.

While Bai Qiannuo was still entangled, seeing that Li Qi's sudden attack was about to succeed, his eyes were already flashing with smugness, it seems that I am still not old, and I suddenly heard a squeak in front of me, and I heard a "ho yo" sound.

Bai Qiannuo was stunned suddenly, immediately came to his senses, took a small step back, and said, "I'll go back first." With these words still in her mouth, she had already buried her head and ran into the house.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Shet!" Li Qi scolded in a low voice, turned his head, looked at the beautiful woman who had just walked out of the door, held her head in her hands, and said with annoyance: "Mother-in-law, can you come out a little late, even for a moment!" Sincerely. ”

Madame Bai was slightly stunned, reacted, and said: "What sincerity, I saw that Qi Niang didn't come back so late, so I wanted to come out and take a look, and I also wanted to ask you, what do you want to do, this is on the street." ”

"So what? It's all old husbands and wives. ”

"You-you're so good, you coaxed my daughter to change her mind so quickly."

"Don't dare, don't dare, success was already in sight, but it's good that you're old, this opening of the door will make my efforts tonight go to waste, and sure enough, this ginger is still old and spicy." Richie didn't have a good airway.

When Madame Bai heard his yin and yang weirdness, she only wanted to laugh, and said, "If you don't come in and sit down, the old man is already resting." ”

Nani? This mother-in-law takes too much care of me. Li Qi was secretly happy in his heart, I would definitely not sit down after sitting for a while, but if I sat in Qi Niang's room for a night, I could consider it. But he said very shyly: "This is not very good, right? ”

Madame Bai nodded and said, "Yes." It's not good, so I'll get in your carriage for a while, I just have something to ask you. ”

"That's even worse."
