"Haha! Li Qi, I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are already a father, which is really gratifying! ”

As soon as Li Qi came to the front hall, he heard the loud voice of the seed master, and said: "The voice of the seed is like a bell, full of energy, and the body is better than in the past, this is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is worth congratulating!" ”

The planter laughed and said, "You kid has become a father, why do you still like to talk such nonsense." ”

"Words from the bottom of my heart."

Li Qi arched his hand towards Zhao Mingcheng and his wife again: "Governor Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, don't come unharmed." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations. However, I'm not a prefect now. ”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about it, I should be called Zhao Shaoqing."

Zhao Mingcheng smiled and nodded to Li Qingzhao beside him.

Li Qingzhao handed over a small box with both hands, and said with a slight smile: "This Duan inkstone was originally given to me by Scholar Su, and I have been with me for more than 20 years, so I will give it to Ling Lang today, a small gift, not a tribute." ”

After all, Li Qingzhao is an authentic literati, of course she will not give any gold, silver and jewelry as gifts, and she does not have any, and it is common to give inkstones in the literati circle.

Gee! Su Dongpo and Li Qingzhao have both used it, this is too commemorative, and it must be preserved.

"Thank you, thank you." Li Qi smiled, took it, and said, "I must accept this gift." ”

Li Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant, but he didn't ask more, and nodded with a smile. As everyone knows, when Li Qi copied Wang Huang's house, he had already obtained a lot of the best four treasures of the study, and was about to give them to Li Qingzhao, wouldn't this gift come just right.

"Three, please be seated, please be seated."

Li Qingzhao suddenly said: "I want to visit the mother and son of the red slave first, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

She knew there was a talk to be done. They will definitely talk about official business, and Zhao Mingcheng has always had a pimple in her heart when she wanted to abandon the city and flee, so she really didn't want to listen to it, so she simply ignored it.

"Convenient, of course. It just so happened that Mrs. Qin was also there. ”

Li Qi immediately called someone and said, "Take Mrs. Zhao to the backyard." ”

"Yes."

After Li Qingzhao left, the three of them sat down one after another.

Li Qi smiled: "Gonggong, Zhao Xiaoxianggong, when did you arrive in Beijing?" ”

The planter said: "The old man arrived last night, and I heard that the people of the capital are rumoring that you have a noble son recently." At that time, I wanted to come and see, but I heard that this white mansion couldn't fit it, so I chose to come today, but I didn't know that I happened to meet Mingcheng and his wife at the door, which was really a coincidence. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded with a smile and said, "My husband and wife arrived in Beijing this morning, and we also heard that the economy made the family happy, so I asked my subordinates to put their luggage in the post house first." Let's start here to congratulate you. ”

"Zhao Xiaoxiang has a heart." Li Qi smiled and said with concern: "By the way, you have found a place to live, if you don't." I can help you arrange to live in Taishi Academy, I'm afraid you will be noisy. ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the economic envoy, it seems that the imperial court has already arranged a residence for me." ”

Li Qi listened, but he was not reluctant. "That's good, that's good." ”

Zhao Mingcheng suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that it was Taishi Cai who recommended me to return to Beijing this time. I wonder if this is true? ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, there is a way to be bitten by a snake once, and he is afraid of the well rope for ten years! Cai Jing made the Zhao family miserable at the beginning, and the two families became enemies, this Cai Jing suddenly recommended Zhao Mingcheng to come to the capital, and Zhao Mingcheng couldn't see Cai Jing's intentions, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, afraid that Cai Jing had bad intentions.

It would be better to explain this matter clearly, lest he be worried all day long. Li Qi also deeply understands this, and believes that anyone who has experienced the incident of Yuan Yu's party membership will be suspicious. smiled again: "That's true, but the Taishi's move is also for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty, I think you have also heard, recently the imperial court attaches great importance to diplomacy with surrounding countries, in order to strengthen the diplomatic aspect, and even appointed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the Secretary of Honglu Temple, and the Taishi appreciates Zhao Xiaoxianggong's diplomatic talents, in addition, Zhao Xiaoxianggong has held this position, so I recommend you to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is nothing else, Zhao Xiaoxianggong can rest assured." ”

Zhao Mingcheng saw that what Li Qi said was so simple and clear, so he put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "I see." After a pause, he said: "Oh, this time to relieve the siege of Laizhou, it is all about the economic envoys to maneuver around the DPRK, and Ming Cheng is grateful." ”

Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Don't say such things again, this is my business, but I don't dare to thank you." ”

The seed master laughed and said: "Although the old man is in the northwest, he has also heard a little about this counterinsurgency, this battle is not beautiful, and it has played the momentum of our forbidden army in the capital, Yue Fei and Niu Gao really did not disappoint the old man." ”

Zhao Mingcheng posted: "What the prince said is that the methods of these two generals to fight are really amazing and admirable. ”

Li Qi said: "It's not all thanks to your teaching. ”

Zhao Mingcheng sighed and said, "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of the Gong, no wonder, no wonder." ”

The seed master smiled and waved his hand, and said modestly: "The old man has only taught them for a long time, and he has never led them to fight, so he can only be regarded as half a master, and this is all their own ability." ”

"The farmer is humble."

Li Qi smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Seed father, you have just come back for less than a day, but I'm afraid I don't even have the time to eat a good meal, Li Qi is really sorry!" ”

The seed master said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, not only that, the old man is also very interested in this military exercise, defending the Beijing Division, hehe, interesting, interesting!" In addition, the old man is also very satisfied with your arrangement, and I also want to take this opportunity to test the strength of Yue Fei and Niu Gao, and see if they rely on strength or luck in the battle of Kunyu Mountain. ”

Li Qi patted his chest and said: "I am finally relieved that the seed prince said this, I was afraid that the seed guild would be dissatisfied with this." ”

The Seed Master Dao was curious: "Why do you think like that? ”

Li Qi said: "I'm not afraid that if Yue Fei and Niu Gao win the seed by luck, this apprentice defeats the master, how faceless." ”

Seed Master Dao frowned and said: "How can I be the kind of narrow-minded person who cultivates the Dao, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, whoever stipulates that the older one will definitely win, and who stipulates that the apprentice cannot win the master." If Yue Fei and Niu Gao can win the old man, it is too late for the old man to be happy, which proves that I have a successor to the Great Song Dynasty, but if they want to win, I am afraid it is not so easy, the old man is determined to fight with them well this time. ”

If you can think like this, it's best for me to fight to the death, otherwise the point of the exercise will be lost. Li Qi's words obviously wanted to provoke the seed master.

The planter looked at Li Qi with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly realized, oops.

Li Qizhi knew that he had been detected, how could he admit it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is the younger generation who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Actually, I'm the kind of narrow-minded person that the public calls me. I'm ashamed to say that since I was named the King of Golden Knife Kitchen by the Emperor, many people wanted to challenge me, but most of them were rejected by me. ”

Seed Master Dao was really diverted by Li Qi, and asked curiously: "Why is this?" The old man thinks that cooking skills also need to be learned and competed in order to improve. ”

Li Qi said: "That's right, but if I win them, everyone will take it for granted, and I tell others who I won, and no one else knows who the other party is, in case I lose, the other party can make a big fuss, I won the Golden Knife Chef King, this is not fair." ”

It was the first time Zhao Mingcheng had met Li Qi's straightforward temperament, which was a bit excessive, and he couldn't help laughing: "The economy makes it reasonable, it makes sense!" ”

The planter also nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that old man very disadvantaged." ”

Li Qi said: "What's the matter, I have never budgeted for such an impossible situation as the loss of the seed guild. ”

The planter raised his hand and said, "You kid give me one less set, so as not to let Mingcheng see the old man's jokes when you get it." ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh, by the way, in fact, I came here today, first, to congratulate the economic envoy, and secondly, to come." ”

At this point, he stopped talking.

Li Qi looked at his expression, and knew that he must have something to ask for, and said: "Zhao Xiaoxiang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I have the right of veto." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "If the economy can say this, then I will be relieved." In fact, a few friends asked me to tell the economic envoy if I could meet them, and this economic envoy also knew him. ”

Li Qi sighed, pondered for a moment, and suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "What Zhao Xiaoxianggong said is not Tengji and Yihe from Fusang. ”

Zhao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "The economic envoy is really a clever calculation. ”

Li Qi asked again, "Have they already arrived in Beijing?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Yes." They came with me. ”

Come so early, it's still early before New Year's Day! And if you want to buy weapons, just come to me directly, why bother, it doesn't seem to be, isn't it? Li Qi said tentatively: "Are they here to buy weapons?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem to be, I don't know the specifics, but looking at their tone, it seems that they have something to ask for." ”

Got something to ask for? Li Qi raised his eyebrows, suddenly stood up, paced around the hall, seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly smiled: "Since it is Zhao Xiaoxianggong's friend, it is my Li Qi's friend, and I will meet them." So be it, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll meet them at the Ordnance Superintendent. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his hand again and said, "No, no, no, it's the day after tomorrow, I will meet them at my manor in the western suburbs the day after tomorrow." ”

Do I have such a big face? Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he saw Li Qi's promise, and only said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth." (To be continued)
