There is a saying that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this is definitely a wise saying.

Ji Hongnu moved the capital, and a red storm blew in the capital, and everywhere was talking about last night's carnival feast, and the name of the red lady soon became a household name.

But trouble also followed.

Following.

Finally, Li Qi, who had a matter on his mind, finally slept peacefully.

As soon as he got up from the bed, there was a knock on the door, followed by Aunt Chen's voice, "Master Li, Madam asked you to go to the back hall." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The old slave doesn't know."

"Oh, I'm sorry to tell Madame SΓΉ, I'll be right there."

Having said that, Li Qi was not in a hurry at all, he knew his wife too well, and a little sesame mung bean made it seem as if he was about to go to the execution ground.

When he came to the back hall, Li Qi saw a large pile of congratulatory gifts piled up inside, his face was shocked, and he saw Mrs. Qin sitting there with a depressed face and sighed, and said in surprise: "Madam, are you having a big birthday?" ”

Mrs. Qin gave him a blank look and said, "These are all dowry gifts. ”

Li Qi was shocked, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, pointed at Mrs. Qin, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband-madam, it's difficult--have you finally figured it out and are ready to remarry, this--this is really a great thing." ”

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, then became furious, slapped the table suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, you-you." ”

This anger is indeed extraordinary, and the plump breasts are stiff and closed, shaking Li Qi swallowing violently.

Sweat! Is it necessary to lose such a temper?

Li Qi pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Madam, what are you doing here, just now you said that these are all dowries?" It can't be for me, right? ”

Madam Qin snorted angrily and said, "These are all red slaves. ”

"Red slave's?"

Li Qi was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, and said incredulously: "Madam, did you hear it right, these dowries are all for the red slave?" ”

Mrs. Qin took out a stack of red stickers and threw them on the table, and said with a headache: "See for yourself." ”

Li Qi stepped forward with a stomach full of doubts, picked up the pile of posts and flipped through them casually, but when he saw that all the posts were written on them, he gasped and said, "This-they sent them?" ”

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "You caused this matter, what do you say to do now?" ”

"I-I'm not here for the Drunken Immortal Residence and the Red Slave, okay?"

Li Qi retorted weakly, and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that there is still a group love in this world, they only met the red slave for the first time yesterday, and they sent the dowry gift today, which is too fast." ”

Li Qi has always thought that he is more free and straightforward than the men here, but he didn't expect that in fact, compared to him, he is just a shy big boy, which is too pure, he will not meet anyone, so he asks someone to give a dowry, which is too exaggerated.

Mrs. Qin said coldly: "What you saw is only a part of it, I just persuaded a group of matchmakers, and it is estimated that someone will come later." ”

"A batch?"

Li Qi exclaimed in surprise, wanting to cry without tears in his heart, and asked, "Does the red slave know about this?" ”

Madam Qin shook her head and said, "At present, the red slave may not know about it, but if there is such a big movement, she will know sooner or later." ”

Just when the two of them were worried, they suddenly heard a whining voice from outside the door, "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed open from the outside.

is so innocent, except for Wang Zhongling, who else will there be.

Wang Zhongling rushed in angrily, and when he saw that Li Qi and Mrs. Qin were there, he was still stunned.

"Daddy."

"Li Qi has seen Uncle Wang."

Wang Zhongling was slightly stunned, stepped forward and sat on the chair, looked at each other angrily, and said, "It just so happens that both of you are here, I said that you are just opening a restaurant, why can't you stop it?" Isn't it enough trouble? ”

Mrs. Qin was puzzled: "What is Daddy referring to?" ”

Wang Zhongling snorted angrily and said, "Daughter, that little lady is your distant relative?" How could the old man not know? ”

Sweat! It seems that this old man is also here for Ji Hongnu.

Li Qi sighed helplessly and explained the whole thing to Wang Zhongling.

After Wang Zhongling heard this, he said angrily: "Li Qi, you are now the deputy of the emperor's imperial gift, how can you still do these crooked ways, do you know how many people impeached you Drunken Immortal Residence in the early court this morning?" ”

"Impeachment of the Drunken Immortal Residence?"

Li Qi was puzzled: "Uncle Wang, don't you want to scare the little nephew, those ministers haven't been idle to this extent." ”

Wang Zhongling sneered: "I'm scaring you? I just beg you not to scare me, I'll have to burn incense, tell me what you are singing, alas. Fortunately, the emperor protects you, otherwise-hmph, your drunken immortal residence will be over. Also, when I was in court this morning, more than a dozen colleagues found the old man and said that they were proposing marriage to their son and grandson. ”

Wow! Is there such an exaggeration.

Li Qi was really speechless, and said, "Uncle Wang, my wife and I were also talking about this matter just now, you see, these are all dowry gifts sent this morning." As he spoke, he pointed to the bridal gifts.

Wang Zhongling looked at it, rolled his eyes, and said, "You say, what should I do now?" Those colleagues are still waiting for my reply. ”

Mrs. Qin looked at Li Qi involuntarily, as if she wanted him to make up her mind.

Li Qi sighed heavily, he didn't know what to do now, he had been trying to distinguish Ji Hongnu from those courtesans, but unexpectedly found a gap for these princes and nobles. frowned and thought for a while, thinking that this was the form of marriage in ancient times anyway, and with Ji Hongnu's character, it was very likely that she would contact other men, so it was better to take the opportunity to help her find a good in-law. He said to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, you said that the red slave is not too young. ”

Mrs. Qin was stunned, this is really not like Li Qi's style, now Ji Hongnu can bring huge benefits to the Drunken Immortal Residence, he should refuse, how could he want to marry Ji Hongnu. interrupted him and said, "You are planning to take advantage of the fact that the red slave is allowed to be sent out now. ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "We can take care of the red slave and try to help her choose a wishful husband, of course, this matter must first strive for her own opinion, but she will marry after all." ”

In fact, he did this, a lot of Cheng dΓΉ wanted to make up for the guilt in his heart, I remember that he asked Ji Hongnu to come to Drunken Xianju to sing, purely for his own interests, but after getting along with each other for a while, he found that Ji Hongnu is really a rare good girl, which makes him feel a little ashamed of himself, if he can help Ji Hongnu find a good mother-in-law, it can be regarded as a merit, at least it is much stronger than singing in Drunken Xianju, and it can be regarded as his compensation for Ji Hongnu.

But when he said this, an inexplicable sense of loss suddenly welled up in his heart.

Wang Zhongling's pair of small eyes turned around, and he smiled: "This matter is wrapped up in the old man." ”

So enthusiastic? It's not like his style.

Li Qi glanced at him, saw his eyes flashing rapidly, and immediately understood, this old man must be trying to engage in some kind of political marriage, and he really won't change. He said expressionlessly: "Uncle Wang has a lot of opportunities, how dare you bother Uncle Wang with such a trivial matter, I will discuss this with my wife." ”

Wang Zhongling said with a smile: "Not busy, not busy, the beauty of adults can be regarded as a merit." ”

Li Qipi smiled and said: "I just don't know who it is." ”

Wang Zhongling's face changed, and he said, "What do you mean by what the virtuous nephew said?" ”

Mrs. Qin also heard their voices, and hurriedly said: "Daddy, we are neither Hongnu's parents nor her brother, I think this matter should be left to Hongnu to decide for herself." ”

Li Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "Madam is right, this matter still has to be decided by the red slave himself." ”

A flash of disappointment flashed in Wang Zhongling's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay, the old man just asks about this matter, you can do it, but Li Qi, you have to pay attention to it these days, and now there are many people in the court who are worried about the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern, I will pay attention." ”

"Then the old man will go first."

After Wang Zhongling finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Wang Zhongling left, Mrs. Qin asked Li Qi, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "Madam, please first select some people with good character from among them, and then take them to the red slave to see what she means, in fact, we can only help in this matter, and it is up to her to choose what to do." ”

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "Okay." Just do as you say. ”

Since this incident in the morning, Li Qi has been absent-minded all day, and after spending a day in a daze, he got off work early and returned to the Qin Mansion. ”

"Lostβ€”missing."

Lu Meimei's words were like a bolt from the blue, Li Qi was stunned, and after a while, he said: "Lu Niangzi, what do you mean by this, how could Hongnu be a good person, how could he be missing." ”

Lu Meimei hurriedly said: "The maid who was waiting for the red lady told me that when she gave the red lady fruit, she found that the red lady was not in the house, and then I searched the entire Qin Mansion, and I didn't see her shadow." ”

"What!"

Li Qi exclaimed, secretly thinking, with the personality of the red slave, he shouldn't run around casually, something must have happened. He asked, "Where has the Red Slave been today?" Have you seen anyone? ”

Lu Niangzi shook her head and said, "No, she has been staying in the house today, and she hasn't gone anywhere, except for a few maids who serve her, and no strangers have come." ”

That's weird.

Li Qi knew Lu Meimei's ability, if someone sneaked into the Qin Mansion, she would definitely be able to detect it, and suddenly saw Aunt Chen hurriedly come over, and hurriedly said: "Aunt Chen, can you see the red slave?" ”

Aunt Chen shook her head and said, "Master Li, the old slave is looking for it, you said that in this dark night, where will she run to a woman, she is really anxious." ”

Day.

Li Qi was anxious at this time, but he couldn't show it, and said: "Auntie, don't worry, you take people to look for it everywhere in the Qin Mansion, Lu Niangzi, you immediately call your senior brother and bring a few more people to look for it everywhere in the city, hmm, you remember, this matter can't be publicized, now that the red slave has become famous, if this matter is spread, it will not be good for her." ”

Lu Meimei nodded and said, "Hey, I know what to do." ”

"Alright, let's go our separate ways."
