Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It is hard to imagine that the iron-fisted minister would be moved by a few words of gratitude from a group of refugees, which can only prove one thing, that is, Cai Jing is really old, and as soon as this person is old, his mentality will change greatly. In the past, Cai Jing's desire for power was by no means worse than today's Wang Huang, or even better, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, using these eight to describe Cai Jing's original style of acting, it is really suitable, but what he is thinking about now is not to fight for power, but to think about how to protect his descendants of the Cai family.
Whenever he hears others calling him "Cai Lao Thief" behind his back, whenever he thinks of the fate of the descendants of those who were destroyed by him before, he will feel worried, or a kind of fear, a fear that has been buried in his heart for a long time, he is afraid that the sins he created before will be retributed to his children and grandchildren, however, history has also proved that his fear is not unreasonable, so he wants to take advantage of his remaining sons, try his best to pave the way for his descendants
This is also the reason why Li Qi chose to take refuge in Cai Jing, he just wants to use Cai Jing's psychology to expand a positive force for himself, like Wang Hao, a powerful minister at the peak, if you go to him, you can only help him do evil, otherwise you will be his enemy, and your son will not be happy.
But then again, it is precisely because Li Qi understands Cai Jing's psychology that Cai Jing will regard him as a confidant.
Of course, this is not to say that Cai Jing has become a virtuous appearance like Fang Xuanling and Xiao He overnight, one is that he does not have this ability, and the other is that he is not really thinking about the people, he still does it based on his own private yu, since it is a private yu, then there are great variables, which is also the point that Li Qi is most worried about
But no matter what, today's Cai Jing still makes a good example, at this time he is not the Cai Taishi that everyone feared before, but a kind old man. Holding a child in one hand, sitting on the edge of the bed and cheering with some refugees, he saw that many refugees even heating was a problem, and immediately ordered Cai Yong to go to the house to collect some old quilts and send them to these refugees, those refugees who did not know his previous deeds simply worshipped him as a god, which also greatly satisfied Cai Jing's vanity.
Sometimes it's good to be a good person.
Chen Dong's scholar simply didn't believe what was happening in front of him, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and a question appeared in his heart at the same time. Is this still the daunting Taishi Cai from before?
Before I knew it, it was noon, and Li Qi took everyone and the refugees to the school cafeteria to eat. This Taishi Academy must have been rebuilt in imitation of the school canteen of later generations, and it is also the training base for drunken Xianju chefs.
Several long tables are put together, and on top of them are large basins full of dishes, ranging from meat to vegetarian soups.
There are also many dishes, such as stir-fried meat with radish and ants on the tree. Lotus root slices, green vegetables, etc., as well as a pot of pork bone broth, most of them are cheap dishes. Meat dishes account for a relatively small amount, and most of these meat dishes are parts that the Northern Song Dynasty people don't like to eat, and not liking to eat doesn't mean it's not delicious, Li Qi naturally won't let go of this opportunity. The most important point. These dishes do not contain gutter oil, so you can use them with confidence.
Those scholars were also born in poor families, carrying wooden plates that they had received from the school workers. Dangling in front of the long table, they didn't know how to start in the face of these dazzling dishes, they wanted to have a little bit of everything, but unfortunately Li Qi had stipulated that one person was only allowed to eat one meat, one vegetable and one soup.
Cai Jing, as the first foodie in the Northern Song Dynasty, was very particular about eating, he didn't want to smell these dishes at all, there was no way, Li Qi could only open a small stove for him, get a fish soup, and give him a can of canned meat to eat.
It was the first time for Cai Jing to have dinner with so many people at the same time, and seeing those children gobbling up, as if they were eating the most delicious food in the world, he couldn't help but have a great appetite, and he ate two bowls of rice for the first time, and he was also looking forward to coming to the academy to eat with these children in the future, what a happy thing it was.
Li Qi was also hungry, so he casually made a few dishes, and then cheekily sat with Feng Yinu and them, one man and three women, showing off and eating, which made everyone envious, but it was a pity that they were scholars, even if they were given another chance, they would not dare to sit over.
After eating, Cai Jing chatted with those refugees again, Fang Jue was a little tired, and then went back with everyone.
After a trip to the Taishi Academy, everyone hopes that the first day of school will come early.
Early the next morning.
"Knock knock!"
Ji Hongnu had just eaten breakfast when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door and asked, "Who is it?" โ
"Red slave, it's me."
Li Qi's voice came from outside, Ji Hongnu's face was happy, and he hurriedly walked over to open the door, only to see Li Qi standing in front of the door with an excited face. asked, "Big brother, is there something wrong?" โ
"Can't I come to you if I'm fine?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Li Qi looked at her nervously, rolled his eyes, and said depressedly: "You can't stand being scared." Go change your clothes and I'll take you somewhere. โ
"Where?"
"See my mother-in-law."
"Mother-in-law?" Ji Hongnu blinked his big bright eyes and asked suspiciously: "Big brother, why are you going to Baifu so early?" โ
"White House?"
This time it was Li Qi's turn to make a mistake and said, "Who said to go to Baifu?" โ
Ji Hongnu was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that you were going to see Aunt Bai?" โ
Sweat! This Nizi is so innocent that she dares to forget that I have two mothers-in-law. Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Red slave, the eldest brother is not only Mrs. Bai, but also a mother-in-law. โ
Ji Hongnu stayed for a moment, then came to his senses and said in surprise: "Big brother, do you mean that you want to take me to see my mother?" โ
"Oh mom, you finally remember my husband."
Ji Hongnu spit out his fragrant tongue and said, "Then you wait for me, and I'll go change my clothes." โ
"Okay!"
Li Qi nodded, and just wanted to go in, when he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and with a bang, the door closed. Angry, he almost slammed the door and went in, damn. This little girl is really getting more and more disagreeable, isn't it just a change of clothes, how can a person like me peek at it. If I want to see it, I will see it openly.
Soon, Ji Hongnu changed into a white sรจ dress and walked out, and when he saw Li Qi's puffed appearance, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. There is a way that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, not to mention that Li Qi is not a hero anymore, his heart is soft, and the resentment just now disappeared immediately, and the little couple rode in a carriage towards the southern suburbs.
After walking for more than an hour, I came to the foot of a small hill in the southern suburbs, surrounded by no people. Most of the small graves on the hill do not even have a tombstone, and they look like some lonely graves that have not been visited for a long time.
Li Qi is quite dissatisfied with the environment in which this mother-in-law lives, he is so rich now, he actually let his mother-in-law live here, this must be known, he has to scold him for being unfilial, carrying some sacrifices, and scolding in his mouth: "This Anan." What should I do, I actually put my mother-in-law here, and I must teach him a good lesson when I go back. โ
If Chen Anan was here, it is estimated that he would have died unjustly. At that time, Li Qi gave him so little money, and he had to help Ji Hongnu pay off his debts, so how could he have any money to find a good cemetery for Ji's mother.
Li Qi followed Ji Hongnu to the two small graves, where Ji Hongnu's parents were buried. This can make Li Qi embarrassed, he seems to have forgotten about this old man, fortunately he has a lot of money. The sacrifice bought was enough for two people to divide it.
The two of them first bowed three times in front of the two graves, Li Qi gently held Ji Hongnu's hand, and said to the two old men: "Old man, mother-in-law, your son-in-law is not good at words and can't say anything good, but don't worry, I will never let your daughter be wronged again, and there will only be joy and happiness in her life in the future." Oh, I heard the red slave say that you have always wanted to have a son, and he will wait for me and the red slave to give you a few white and chubby grandsons, and I will give one of them the surname Ji. Thank you, thank you for leaving me such a good wife, and I hope you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs. โ
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard two sobbing sounds on the side, turned his head to look, and saw that Ji Hongnu's pretty face was already pear blossoms with rain, and said depressedly: "Hongnu, please give some face, big brother, I just solemnly made an oath in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and you immediately cried like this, what do you think about their two elders." โ
Ji Hongnu shook his head, tilted his head again, looked at Li Qi with red eyes, and said, "Big brother, thank you." โ
Li Qiti wiped the tears on his face and said, "Do we still need to say this, next time you want to say thank you, just say that you love me, I like to hear this." โ
Ji Hongnu was stunned, and suddenly fell into Li Qi's arms and cried loudly.
Li Qi gently hugged her, patted her on the back, and let her vent the pain that had been suppressed for a long time.
Standing in the distance, he saw this qiฤ Ma Qiao, and muttered in his mouth: "Next time, I will also take my junior sister to sweep the graves of my parents and father." โ
This guy's brain has finally opened up.
Ji Hongnu cried for a while, and then stopped, but he couldn't cry, and Li Qisuo didn't speak, and the two of them took care of the grave of the second elder very tacitly, fortunately, it was winter now, and there were no weeds, just clean up the neighborhood, and hang the paper on the dead branches around it, so that the lonely graves around it were envious.
After a qiฤ was done, Ji Hongnu also stopped sobbing and said, "Big brother, can you let me talk to my father and mother alone." โ
Li Qi was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course you can, but you can say a few more good words for me." โ
Ji Hongnu nodded and snorted.
Li Qi beckoned to the grave and said with a smile: "Second elder, the little son-in-law will also leave the meeting for the time being, and I will come to see you later." So saying, he walked towards the bridge.
Seeing that Li Qi was coming, Ma Qiao hurriedly raised the hen in his hand and said, "Deputy Marshal, what should you do with this chicken?" โ
Li Qi also had a headache when he looked at this chicken, and sighed: "It's really a thousand calculations, but I didn't count that the second elder is a vegetarian and failed." โ
Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Deputy Marshal, it's almost noon now, if you wait until you go back to the Drunken Immortal Residence to eat, then you won't starve to death, or let's just roast this chicken and eat it." โ
What he said also has some truth, I took the red slave and it was not good to go to a nearby restaurant to eat. Li Qi nodded slightly, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Ma Qiao, you have a good mouth today." (To be continued.) )
