Chapter 388: Confession
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In fact, it is difficult to make money in ancient times, first of all, the price of paper and ink in these years is expensive, or how to say that it is the four treasures of the study, secondly, the process is complicated, although there is movable type printing, but it is still the oldest, and the later generations can not be compared at all, the need for labor is quite a lot, the work is more, the salary is naturally more, and now you have to pack food, how a pit daddy.
Bai Qiannuo has a father who is the prime minister, otherwise the cost will definitely not be more than this.
And the most critical point, that is, there are not many literate people in this era, who do you sell books to? It's not just those scholars and talents, the consumer group is too narrow, even if your book is good-looking, there won't be too many purchases, so publishing a book is definitely a loss.
Generally, the people who publish books are from some families, and there are very rich people, or they are big officials, like Sima Qian and Sima Guang, they are all for fame, not profit. This is the same reason as Cai Jing running a college.
Li Qi is lucky, first of all, the Northern Song Dynasty has more literary income, and secondly, because he first beat the fame of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then came to publish the book, if not, I am afraid he will lose more.
Under Li Qi's friction, Bai Qiannuo felt a burst of itchy pleasure in his chest, his cheeks were dizzy, he twisted his body unconsciously, avoided Li Qi, and said softly: "Big brother, thank you for your concern, but I really don't feel tired." ”
Li Qi raised his head, looked at Bai Qiannuo with teary eyes, and said, "Don't you be tired, look at you, you have lost so much weight, big brother can feel it when he touches it." As he spoke, one of his big hands had covered Bai Qiannuo's plump chest, and he was secretly surprised, huh? It's getting fuller, well, it's all my credit.
Bai Qiannuo didn't expect Li Qi to be so bold, he exclaimed, hurriedly pushed him away, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, this is a temple, you." ”
"What's wrong with the temple, there is a way to rather demolish ten temples than a marriage, it can be seen that love is above the temple, and the Bodhisattva doesn't dare to say more when he comes. Come here, let the big brother hug again. Li Qi said confidently, and hugged her tightly in his arms again, but he didn't make any more groping, but he felt that he hadn't held this smart little girl for a long, long time.
Bai Qiannuo heard his nonsense, smiled knowingly, and lay in his arms, but this warm feeling made her look dim, and said softly: "But the two of us are not married yet." ”
Hey? Something doesn't sound right. Li Qileng fell, his brows furrowed slightly, in fact, he had long wanted to marry Bai Qiannuo, although it was sometimes quite exciting to sneak, but he was still used to being above board, but at this time, he had to take care of Ji Hongnu's stupid girl's thoughts, and he was so embarrassed.
Bai Qiannuo raised his eyelids, glanced at Li Qi secretly, saw that his face was solemn, his eyes were suddenly full of tears, hesitated for a while, and said: "Big brother, are you unwilling to marry me because of the sister of the red slave." There was a bit of nervousness in his voice.
Li Qi banged in his head, stayed for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Seven-Qi Niang, you-what did you just say?" ”
Bai Qiannuo sighed lightly and said, "Big brother, you don't have to hide it from me, in fact, I already know about you and Sister Hongnu." ”
This surprise is really extraordinary, Li Qi thought that he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect to be discovered by this little girl, there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, as for why he was afraid, he didn't know, and asked: "How do you know?" ”
The implication of this is undoubtedly admitted, in fact, Li Qi doesn't want to hide it from Bai Qiannuo, but he has not been able to find a good entry point, since Bai Qiannuo has brought it up, Suo Xing will confess and strive to be lenient.
Bai Qiannuo's voice was slightly choked and said: "Actually, a long time ago, I noticed that something was wrong between you and Sister Hongnu, but I didn't think about it until the heavy snow not long ago, I remember that night, Sister Hongnu and I were busy at my house for the affairs of those refugees, and then she was really sleepy, so she went back to bed first." ”
It seems that the red slave is talking in her dreams so that she can hear it. When Li Qi heard this, he already understood in his heart.
Sure enough, I heard Bai Qiannuo say: "After I finished settling the accounts, I was about to go to bed, when I suddenly heard Sister Hongnu say--say, 'Big brother, don't leave me, I-I like you so much'." ”
No way. When did the red slave become so unrestrained. Li Qi was sweating profusely when he heard it, and he had always been able to speak well, but now he couldn't even say a word.
Bai Qiannuo said: "I didn't react at first, so I called Sister Hongnu twice, and when I saw that she didn't react, I knew that she was talking in a dream, I knew that Sister Hongnu didn't know much, and the eldest brother in her mouth, except for you, it was impossible to have anything else, but I wasn't sure at the time, so I left Sister Hongnu to live at home for a few years." I took the opportunity to probe her tone, Sister Hongnu is relatively simple, and she can't hide things in her heart, I tried it a few times, and I determined that her relationship with you is definitely not ordinary. Big brother, isn't it despicable that I deceived my sister Hongnu like this. ”
Li Qi felt guilty in his heart, hugged him tighter and tighter, shook his head and said: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you, it's just." At this point, he couldn't say any more. Although he was sincere to his two daughters, he really didn't have the courage to say this, and even felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Yes, there has never been a shortage of women around him, and he has always been very decisive in the face of feelings, but after all, it is in the face of a woman, a relationship, he really has no experience of loving two women at the same time, and this situation is unlikely to appear in later generations, even if the last time Qin Fu entered the point, let him understand that men can have three wives and four concubines in these years, but he still doesn't know how to deal with it, so he has been delayed again and again.
Bai Qiannuo didn't know what Li Qi was thinking, and said to himself: "I was really sad when I learned about this at the time, I was very afraid to see you in those few years, because I was afraid that you would not want me for the sake of Sister Hongnu." ”
No wonder that the son always couldn't find her, it turned out to be this reason. Li Qi said softly: "Qi Niang, how could I not want you, even if I exchange the throne with me, I will not change it, if I can meet you, I will already be the greatest gift to me." ”
Bai Qiannuo hurriedly said: "Big brother, you can't talk nonsense. ”
Having said that, I feel sweet in my heart. Female into the o, will always be the most easily moved animal in the world.
Li Qi said: "Then you can't say that kind of thing again in the future." ”
Bai Qiannuo hummed softly, and said: "At that time, I really wanted to ask you for clarification, but I didn't dare, and later, I looked for my mother." ”
Li Qi's face tightened, and the frightened mother-in-law appeared in his mind, and he felt the wind behind him, and said, "You told your mother about this?" ”
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "I can't talk to other people about this, and I'm panicked in my heart, so I'll go to my mother." ”
Li Qi said worriedly: "Then what did your mother say?" ”
Bai Qiannuo said: "My mother said, eldest brother, your future is limitless, he will be able to be in a high position, three wives and four concubines are unavoidable, if you are forced, I am afraid it will backfire, since you can't stop it, it is better to support you behind your back, let you remember my good, and said that Sister Hongnu is kind-hearted, easy to get along with, is a good child, can complement me very well, and help you together." ”
Depend on. I didn't expect this mother-in-law to really see it thoroughly, but it was a great favor for me, and I must ask her for advice. Li Qi sneered: "Then the mother-in-law must be like this to the old man, right?" ”
Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi, and said coquettishly: "Speaking of you, why did it get involved with my mother again, but my father is not as attentive as you." ”
Li Qi was dissatisfied: "No, I heard that your father has several concubines, much better than me." ”
Bai Qiannuo said: "That's what my mother helped my father find, my mother said that my father is the prime minister, if he doesn't even have a concubine, it will inevitably attract jokes, and she also hopes that the Bai family can spread out, so she helped my father find a few concubines, but my father loves my mother in his heart." ”
This mother-in-law is really extraordinary, this kind of thing has been done, it seems that Lao Bai has been trained by her to be obedient, if not, I don't believe that she dares to be so arrogant to find a concubine for her husband. Li Qi admired Bai Fu in his heart. asked nervously, "Qi Niang, what do you think now?" ”
Bai Qiannuo looked at him with a nervous face, and pretended to hesitate for a while before saying: "I also think what my mother said makes sense, you don't know, Sister Wang has always regretted not letting his husband find a concubine, so that the Qin family has no queen." And I and Sister Hongnu are like sisters, I don't want to be separated from her, don't hide it from my eldest brother, there were times, I also thought about letting Sister Hongnu follow you. ”
As soon as Li Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, felt a hundred times more relaxed, coughed lightly, and said: "Qi Niang, I know that it is a bit hypocritical to say this now, but I am really sincere, I will go to your house to propose marriage in two ri, okay?" ”
Bai Qiannuo paused, snorted, and laughed out loud.
Li Qi said depressedly: "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious. ”
Bai Qiannuo chuckled: "My mother said at the beginning, the reason why you have not come to my house to propose, you must be worried about the red slave in your heart, she also said that once I confess to you, you will definitely immediately say that you want to come to the door to propose." Now it seems that my mother is really right. ”
Li Qi was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and after a long while, he said, "Is that really what your mother said?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Qiannuo nodded.
cāo! It seems that it is rare for me to escape from the palm of this mother-in-law in my life. Li Qi now has mixed tastes in his heart, and he can't say it.
Seeing Li Qi's expression, Bai Qiannuo pursed his lips and smiled, and then said: "But big brother, my mother said that your career is bright now, if you marry me at this time, I am afraid that something will happen, so I hope you can wait a little longer." ”
Li Qiwei groaned, and then understood, now the party competition in the court is very fierce, although he has an inextricable relationship with all parties, but he has always stayed out of the matter, and did not choose a side, this situation is what many people want to see, if he is the son-in-law of Bai Shizhong, then he will definitely be involved in this right and wrong, in that case, he will undoubtedly be attacked a lot, it is really not a good thing for his career, and, because the current situation is not clear, which will win and which will lose, it is still unknown, Bai Fujin's actions are nothing more than the hope that if the political situation changes, he will come out as a surprise soldier to help Bai Shizhong.
Li Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that there is still a big gap between me and this mother-in-law, and it is really a blessing for him to be able to get the help of this good wife in Bai Shizhong.
