Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There are no telephones, no computers, fishing nets, but there is absolutely no Internet, but even so, the gossip cannot be stopped. In just one morning, the news of Li Qi's happy son spread throughout the capital. The people who come to congratulate are endless, because Li Qi has a wide range of contacts, and is not limited to a certain class, so the people who come to congratulate are also three religions and nine streams, which is also rare to see in the white mansion of the scholar's family!
There was no way, Madame Bai could only organize a few children to greet guests in front of the door, and immediately ordered people to put up lanterns to create a joyful atmosphere.
Although Li Qi is very tired, but in the end, this is not Bai Qiannuo's child, Bai Mansion itself is in a very embarrassing position, it is not easy to do this, no matter how tired he is, he has to come out to greet the guests, after all, these guests are coming for him.
With a high-pitched announcement, I saw a few people walking outside, and Li Qi had a terrible headache when he saw this group of people, but today he had to greet it with a smile.
These people are none other than the princelings headed by the four little sons of the capital.
"Li Qi (economic envoy), congratulations, congratulations."
Fan Shaobai and Chai Cong still know how to be polite, and they immediately said hello when they saw Li Qi.
But Gao Yanei opened his mouth and said: "Li Qi, it's not that I'm disappointed, and you can't be angry." β
Depend on! Didn't you ever teach you to look at the occasion and speak? Li Qi resisted the urge to scold this guy, gritted his teeth and smiled: "I don't know what Yanei has today's opinion?" β
Gao Yanei said bitterly: "Look at you, there are four wives in the family. All of them look like fairies and envy others. At least I'm envious, but you, a year or two, still have such a child, are you worthy of your wives? It's not that Ben Yanei bragged, as we all know, Ben Yanei gave birth to three a year before last. β
Fan Shaobai and Chai Cong glanced at each other, and they both secretly laughed.
Nonsense. Your concubines are almost more than the young lady in Yingchun Building, and you have nothing to do all day long, so you are thinking about doing this, and you are talented, what is so strange about having three. Li Qi clenched his fists and nodded: "What Yanai said is that I will correct it." Keep up the good work. β
Gao Yanei said in an old-fashioned manner: "You have to step up, I'm still going to let my son eat the dishes made by your son." β
Hong Tianjiu said hehehe: "Then my son is also counted." β
Chai Cong haha: "Yanei, you are really ingenious, Jin Yu good words." β
In fact, these words are really hurtful enough in these years, but fortunately, Li Qi never insults the cook, if his son is really interested in cooking. He was also very happy, for him, being a cook was much more interesting than being an official, and he also knew what kind of virtue Gao Yanei was, and said with a smile: "This sycophant is not a shot." You have to pay when you shoot it, don't think you have many children. There are so many people that I will never let my son suffer. β
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Gao Yanei suddenly came over again and said, "Li Qi, what is our relationship?" β
Li Qihu glanced at this guy suspiciously, and said, "It's not bad." β
Gao Yanei said: "Don't say that we don't pay attention to righteousness, we have three daughters, or don't you want to give one to your son, we can't be cheap outsiders." β
Day. Lao Tzu's son was born less than a day ago, and you want to trap my son, how can it be true, my son wants to meet a father-in-law like you, then you can't blame me for the rest of your life.
Having said that, but after all, this is a kindness from Gao Yanei, Li Qi said vaguely: "Look, look." β
Hong Tianjiu kindly reminded: "Big brother, if you don't look down on your brother's daughter, I also have a daughter." β
Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, I still have something to discuss with you." β
"What's the matter?"
Li Qi smiled: "Do you want to try the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending that you have been practicing for a long time?" β
Gao Yanei's eyes widened, and he said, "Are you willing to let me try." β
Li Qi immediately scolded: "You go while playing." β
Gao Yanei pulled this head and said, "Then what do you mean?" β
Li Qi whispered a few words in his ear.
Gao Yanei was ecstatic when he heard this, and said, "Really? β
Li Qi nodded and said, "Of course it's true, do you want to?" If I don't want to, I'll have to find someone else. β
Gao Yanei nodded vigorously and said, "Of course I am willing, I would like to ask who else can do this except this Yanei." β
Hong Tianjiu, who was on the side, was very curious when he heard it, and asked, "Brother, what are you talking about?" β
Gao Yanei muttered a few more words to the other three little princes, and Hong Tianjiu immediately said: "Big brother, this matter can't be left behind Xiao Jiu." β
Li Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, you're indispensable." As he spoke, he glanced back and said, "Okay, I'm going to do something, you guys go in and have a few more drinks." β
"I don't need to be reminded of this. I went to see the matchmaker -- well, my newborn nephew. β
A group of people went to the back hall with great force.
This guy really doesn't change! Li Qi sighed secretly and greeted him again, and the people who came were Wang Zhongling and his wife.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang."
"Nephew, congratulations!"
"Thank you, thank you."
At this time, Mrs. Bai also came over and pulled Mrs. Wang aside to talk, and Wang Zhongling and Li Qi said a few words, and the two went to the back hall with Mrs. Bai.
Wang Zhongling and his wife had just left with their front heels, and Mrs. Qin followed with their back feet.
This is the case of Shenma. Li Qi greeted him again and said, "Madam, your parents just went in. β
Mrs. Qin said, "I saw it." β
Li Qi was curious: "Then why don't you come with them." β
Mrs. Qin was a little unhappy and said: "What's the reason for this, Daddy, they are on behalf of the Wang family, and I am on behalf of the Qin family, so it's not unusual for them to come together." β
And this is exquisite? The Qin family? If you don't say it, I will forget that I have always lived in the Qin family, and I am still guarding the position as a woman! Li Qi smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this stubble." β
Mrs. Qin smiled again: "Congratulations." Now that you're a father, you can't speak as inappropriately as you used to. Gotta look like a father. β
Li Qi wowed and said, "Madam." You look like you're eighteen, but when you talk, you look like you're in your sixties. β
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes, touched her head, and was also annoyed why she had such a mouth, and said with a headache: "Forget it, except for that congratulations, I didn't say the rest." I'm going to see the Red Slaves. β
With that, she walked in.
After Mrs. Qin left, Gao Yu and Hong Bajin came again, and as soon as they entered the door, they didn't say a word, and immediately sold their granddaughter to Li Qi.
It seems that it is really necessary to raise a few more. Li Qi only sighed that his son was not enough.
After they entered, the next step was the prince's team led by the prince. Zhao Huan, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang, Wu Min and other ministers are all here, and the team is quite large.
However, this was only the beginning, and immediately became an official of Menxia Province, Sansi, and Zhongshu Province. Followed by the team of the Hanlin Academy led by Zhang Zeduan. After this group of people entered, they were the officials of the Imperial Historical Tower, the Honglu Temple, the Criminal Department, the Ordnance Prison, and the Six Ministries. This is not the end, and then there are Sanya, Tong Guan and other generals.
After these officers went in. And then there is the merchant team, let's not talk about it, there are seventy-two stores in the capital, even if one sends one person, there are seventy-two people. You must know that Li Qi is an economic envoy, not to mention these restaurants. Including almost all walks of life, this wave of people came over, and Li Qi was about to cry.
"Economic envoy, congratulations, congratulations."
"Muchβthank you, thank you."
"Hey, do you know who just went in?"
"I don't know. Uncle, don't you know? β
"I know I'm still asking you, this person is inevitably too much, is it here to eat and drink, you go and secretly check their congratulatory gifts, to see if there are newspapers or something. MD, that's weird. β
"Yes."
There are more and more people, and Li Qi is already completely at a loss, because many people he can't name, I don't know where this friendship comes from, and I secretly think, when did I become so face-saving.
It's really a dry mouth to welcome guests, and the hands are soft when receiving gifts.
You really want to smash this threshold.
Li Qi is busy with the first two big, you must know that this is still spontaneously come to congratulate, if it is a wedding, then I don't know how many invitations to prepare.
Now almost all of the court, except for the Privy Council, has sent representatives, plus those merchants, fortunately this is in the White Mansion, if it is in the Qin Mansion, it will definitely not fit.
For two hours in a row, Li Qi didn't even have the time to drink tea, and the whole family was mobilized in Baifu, Bai Shizhong's children and grandsons all came out to help, and later, Bai Shizhong and his wife also came to the door.
The situation is getting worse and worse, and people are all coming in groups, and they are out of control.
This is something that Li Qi never thought of, he knew that this was the case, he died yesterday and didn't stay up all night, it was really life-threatening.
Bai Shizhong and his wife stood on the side and watched, also dumbfounded.
Madame Bai said in a low voice: "Old man, our family organizes our own happy events, how can it be so lively, I think this son-in-law's face is much better than yours." β
Bai Shizhong now has to accept it, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect so many people to come, hehe, how long has this child been born." β
Madam Bai shook her head and said: "Actually, this is not unusual, just the face of the prince and His Royal Highness the prince, plus the new law, is enough." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of eunuchs walked in.
Bai Shizhong fixed his eyes, and Deng Shi was stupid, and said in surprise: "This-isn't this a playboy?" β
The person who came was the playboy who served the Empress Dowager Zheng.
Even the master of the harem came to say goodbye, and Madame Bai also felt that this was too strange.
In fact, don't talk about Bai Shizhong and his wife, the ministers inside feel a little incredible, and this person has more than they expected, standing in the front hall, looking forward to seeing how many more people will come, and whether they can set a record.
But Li Qi himself is numb, and no matter who comes, it is nothing more than "Thank you!" "Please come in", and so on, his mind has already begun to think about things.
The playboy just went over to say a few words to Bai Shizhong, and the hidden Liang Shicheng came with a few little eunuchs, you brought a few little eunuchs to eat, it doesn't matter, after all, the friendship is here, and he also brought a holy decree to him, with this holy decree, needless to say, this Liang Shicheng must be here on behalf of Song Huizong.
The whole Baifu hurriedly ran to the door again, it was really exciting, and he was tired enough.
As soon as this holy decree came, the result was that Li Zhengxi, who was born less than a day ago, got a fourth-grade official position, and Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. But Bai Shizhong and his wife were taken aback, this represents a great honor, they have not been treated in the Bai Mansion yet, and generally only very favored courtiers like Cai Jing, Gao Yu, and Wang Hao have this qualification.
The rest of the ministers were also envious, and they had a new assessment of Li Qi's status in their hearts.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand how much credit Li Qi has made this year, but his official position has been maintained at the third grade and has not been promoted again.
After Liang Shicheng read out the holy decree, he said hello to Li Qi again, gave him a generous gift, and then was invited in.
I guess it's over. Li Qi let out a long sigh, he was already too tired to do it, and when he looked up, it was almost evening, and it was already in full swing, and he couldn't make any noise. Li Qi didn't bother to go in, so he let Bai Shizhong and his wife go in first, and he sat in front of the door by himself and rested for a while.
But the ass had just sat down, and another carriage stopped in front of the door, and Richie's tears came out, crying: "It's over, it's over!" I'm just a cook! β
