The day is the second day when they come to their new home, and the family needs to be busy from the morning, the housekeeper Zhang Wang led a group of family members to make noise in the courtyard, clean up the dust, pull it out, and run through the courtyard like a gust of wind, and their mother was in the kitchen to make dinner in Luohe Mansion, and a few healthy women were helping inside and outside.

In front of the window, the curtain just put down the pen and gently dried the ink on the paper, "Xiaoyu, do you need to add something more to the house?" ”

For a long time, but I didn't hear Xiaoyu's response, the curtain turned around, but saw Xiaoyu leaning listlessly on the head of the bed, throwing two threads one high and one low.

"What, are you sick?"

The curtain put down the list, stepped forward and touched her forehead, everything was normal, and pinched her hand again, warmly, there was no sign of illness, Xiaoyu seemed to be a rag doll, lowered her eyes, let her fiddle, but did not say a word.

Curtain smiled and poked her forehead with her finger, "You! People are small and big, don't worry! I won't marry you off, how can I be willing to do it, I will still be your sister in the future, but you have to work now. ”

As if waking up from a big dream, Xiaoyu jumped up from the bed and said with a smile: "Where am I sick!" ”

Energetically, she picked up the list, scanned it up and down twice, and exclaimed, "What I said! You still forgot to write that set of silver cutlery.

Then. There was a gentle knock on the door, and a loud voice came from outside, "Miss, there is a master visiting outside the door, saying that he is a friend of the master." ”

"I'll take a look."

Curtain handed the list to Xiaoyu, "Look at what else is missing, add it yourself." ”

The curtain tidied up her clothes a little and walked out the door quickly. I saw a young man with a clear face at the gate, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, visiting the house from time to time, and seeing her come out, his eyes showed a nervous look

stepped forward and smiled: "I'm really sorry." My father-in-law went out to eat, and my uncle invited him to come in and sit down. ”

The person who came was Cui Qiao, he didn't ask Li Qing in the morning what the result was, he was still unwilling, and came to Li Qing again, but he happened to meet the curtain, no need to ask anything, Cui Qiao recognized at a glance that the one standing in front of him was the little baby who was abandoned seventeen years ago. Her eyebrows and eyes are very much like herself, but her mouth and nose. and her expression is exactly the same as her mother back then.

'This is the flesh and blood of myself and Feisleeve', Cui Qiaoxin said silently. He only felt that his eye sockets were sore for a while, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, I'll sit down and leave." ”

The public was not there, he was just casually polite, he actually took it seriously, and really wanted to come in and sit down, but the curtain had to let him into the living room and order the little maid to serve tea. smiled: "Is the uncle a friend of the father-in-law?" ”

"Yes! I am also an official in the court. ”

Cui Qiao's excitement had calmed down, and he smiled and said, "I also have a daughter." It's the girl that Miss met outside the door yesterday afternoon, her name is Liu Liu, she likes you very much, but today she is sick, I heard that I am coming to find Brother Li, so I asked me to ask Miss's name. ”

Hearing that he was the father of the girl yesterday, Curtain Er had a slight impression of him, and said with a smile: "My name is Curtain Girl, and I like her very much, please tell her, I hope her illness will get better soon, and she can sit here often." ”

"Curtains?" Cui Qiao secretly thought twice in his heart, and said with a smile: "She is a wild girl, if she can be with you often, maybe her performance will turn around, hey!" Always let the ** heart, if she is half as sensible as you, it would be good. ”

When she saw him mention his daughter, her words revealed a faint warmth, and she remembered her life experience again, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sad, "She has a good father like you to love, and she is lucky, but my biological parents lost me when I was a baby." ”

Cui Qiao was silent, and said for a while: "Maybe they have something to do, so they have to do it." ”

Curtain nodded, "Maybe!" But it doesn't matter to me if there are any hardships or not, I just want them to be better and happier. ”

Cui Qiao saw that his daughter was living a peaceful and happy life, and his heart also relaxed, so he got up and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb you for so long, I'm going back." ”

"Won't Uncle stay for dinner?"

"No, the family is still waiting for me to go back to dinner!"

Walking to the door, Cui Qiao stared at the curtain with a smile and said, "People say that daughters follow their mothers, you are gentle and virtuous, I think your mother must also be a gentle and virtuous woman." ”

After saying that, he turned and strode away, but his eyes gradually turned red.

She sighed, looked up at the sunset like fire, the crimson clouds were like a woman's delicate face, she took out the jade from under her neck, held it in her hand and stroked it gently, and said silently: "This must be the land she gave me, she should be the most gentle and beautiful woman in the world, but where is she now?" Mother! ”

.

The sun gradually went down, and the night banquet in the palace of Sining Wangfu also came to an end, only Li Lin and Li Zhao's father accompanied each other at the banquet, but Li Jingyan did not appear, Li Qing had not seen her from the afternoon until now, Li Lin only said that she was sick and needed to recuperate. Li Hugun is not there, he will not eat one of his ten meals at home, without his noise, this meal is really tasteless.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the porter stumbled and reported: "Lord Wang, Li Xiangguo is here." ”

It seemed to be the first cold wind in early winter, and the harmonious atmosphere on the banquet was swept away, and there was a bit of slaughter, and the three of them looked at each other, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, Li Linfu should not appear here and now no matter what.

"Hurry up, please!"

Li Lin jumped up from the seat and was about to rush to the door, but was pulled by Li Qing and said in a low voice: "Remember! Just talk about ***. ”

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, and nodded, at this time, Li Linfu's hearty laughter came from the door, "Li Zongzheng, congratulations!" ”

When the sound came, a long and slightly pale face appeared in the light, and I saw that he had a fat and long nose, a kind smile, and the upper and lower eyelids were so swollen that a pair of slender eyes were always squinted, and his eyes could not be seen.

Li Lin greeted him and said with a smile: "Rare guest! Rare guests! It was a gust of wind that blew Li Xiang here. ”

Li Linfu arched his hand and said: "Naturally, I came for a happy event." ”

He looked Li Lin up and down, suddenly gave him a punch in the shoulder socket, and said with a smile: "What a king of Heining, not to mention making a fortune in a muffled voice, and taking away Zongzheng Siqing quietly, even I can't look away." ”

"This is the emperor's grace, how can I have this qualification, come! Come! Come! ”

Li Lin took Li Linfu's hand, "It's just a banquet, I'll punish you with three cups first, as if I'm here in the snake cave scorpion nest."

I didn't come to the mansion until today. ”

"The Si Ning Mansion is a famous treasure cave, why don't I want to come, but there are three reasons, the first reason is that I am afraid that I will not be able to walk when I see the silver when I come."

Li Zhao stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said, "Li Zhao, a scholar of Hongguan, has seen Lord Xiangguo. ”

"Ahem! It's not necessary, and it's not the time to go to court, isn't it good to be casual? Li Linfu pointed at Li Zhao and smiled: "Your family still has this uncomfortable duke, which is the second reason why I dare not come." ”

"And what about the third reason?" Li Qing said with a smile.

Li Linfu turned his head to look at Li Qing and said with a smile: "This little brother seems to be a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." ”

Li Qing said secretly: "You let people drive Lao out of the imperial city with a stick, of course you have seen it." The mouth said modestly: "Lao Xiangguo has spent a lot of time, and he has a face of 10,000 people under him, and anyone who sees me feels familiar." ”

"Perhaps!" Li Linfu only thought that he was Li Lin's nephew, and didn't take it to heart, so he smiled and said to him: "My third reason is that you young people don't want to hear it, the good name of the cold county lord is spread four times, I'm afraid that I will forget to mention my relatives when I come, and I won't let me enter the door when I go home." ”

After speaking, he turned around and glanced at Li Lin, and they both laughed.

Li Qing saw that he could speak well, and as soon as he entered the door, he controlled the situation, and secretly admired, so he stood aside at the moment, just laughing and not saying a word.

Li Linfu took two steps and seemed to remember something, and looked at Li Qing carefully. Suddenly stepped forward, held his hand apologetically, and smiled: "I'm sorry that day, I didn't know that the little brother was a guest of the King of Sining." ”

Li Qing knew that he finally remembered himself, and said with a smile: "Where does Xiangguo say, Xiangguo is the chief of a hundred officials, and it is also appropriate to reprimand the unruly petty officials." ”

"Oh! Forgive the old man for his clumsiness, he has never seen you, and I don't know where you are an official? What is the official position? And also. What is your name. ”

The voice is soft-spoken, making people feel like a spring breeze, Li Linfu is known as a honey-bellied sword, this is not a waste of fame, there are countless people who hate him like bones, but there are also many people who like him. Especially the lower-level officials, he always has a smiling face and does not put on a fight. Hearing that Li Qing was also an official, the apology on Li Linfu's face gradually began to disappear, and he was replaced by his signature smiling face.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "In the next Taishe, the surname is Li Mingqing." Sangkoku-sama must have an impression of me! ”

Rao is Li Linfu hid it deeply, and he still shook Li Qing's hand. His puffy eyelids thinned suddenly, and a sharp cold light emanated. It made Li Zhaoxin beside him shudder, it was the first time he saw Li Linfu's gaze.

But this gaze only existed for a moment, Li Linfu immediately returned to normal, he looked up and down at this young man who had made him fail, and saw that his expression was calm, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he didn't have the surprise when ordinary low-grade officials saw him for the first time, "This person knows who I am." is still so careless, and his courage is not small, no wonder he can provoke the Hai family and fight back in disgrace, no wonder he can be praised by the emperor, it seems that he is not human, but he cannot be underestimated. ”

He nodded and smiled kindly: "It turns out that you are Li Qing who was praised by the emperor Chrysostom on the night of Shangyuan, how could I not be impressed, I wanted to see you for a long time, but I just didn't have time." ”

"Xiangguo has a lot of opportunities, Li Qing is afraid of disturbing Xiangguo, so he didn't go to see him, I'm ashamed!"

At this time, Li Lin came over and interrupted their conversation, "I am the master, if you snub me again, I will be angry." ”

Li Linfu laughed, "Not only did it come abruptly, but it also made a noise, it really shouldn't be, the prince is angry, I will listen to your arrangement." ”

"That's fine," Li Lin waved his hand and said to Li Linfu with a smile: "Prime Minister Li, please sit in the chief!" ”

Li Linfu was also polite, sat down cross-legged, and pulled Li Qing to his side again, "Li Sheren will sit next to me, let's talk." ”

Li Linfu didn't have any special purpose in coming to Li Lin's house, this afternoon, Li Longji suddenly told him that he was going to use Li Lin as the secretary of the Zongzheng Temple, which made him stunned, and later he also realized Li Longji's intention, he didn't need Li Longji to leave Tai, but he also knew that this kind of thing was urgent, and he needed to gather feelings first, and then slowly induce, so that Tai and Li Lin turned against each other, so as to achieve the goal, and today is only the first visit to Li Lin.

All kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas came up like flowing water, many dishes were withdrawn after only two chopsticks, replaced with new ones, and soon everyone had five glasses of wine, and the words began to have more wind and snow, anecdotes, he can talk about the past and the present, talk with relish, and always lead the topic, at this time Li Qing raised a glass of wine and said humbly: "I have long heard that Xiangguo loves the younger generation, and I Xiangguo will show me a way." ”

When Li Qing first arrived at the imperial court, he was chased and killed by Li Linfu, but at this time, the two of them drank the way of being an official at the same table, and the words sounded ridiculous, but this is Li Qing's tactfulness, he heard from Li Longji's words to Li Lindi that Li Longji hoped that he would not get too close to Tai, this is not just Li Longji's guess of Tai, he is just a petty official, if Li Linfu really wants to deal with him, it is really easy, so he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to try to eliminate Li Linfu and Lin Fu's entrapment.

The reason why Li Linfu didn't attack Li Qing was that the key was to throw a rat bogey, he also heard that Yang Yuhuan's sister had an unusual relationship with Li Qing, so he faintly guessed the pass, and Yang Yuhuan's future, he also knew it, if he offended Yang Yuhuan, even if he did ten big things for Li Longji, it would not be worth a bad word that Li Longji listened to on the pillow, Li Qing still didn't move for the time being, in Li Linfu's opinion, if it can't be eliminated, then it must be enveloped, it is best to pull it over, if it can't be pulled, it must be so that Li Qing can't get good fruits to eat in Tai, Li Heng is good, How could that Tai spare him and kill people with a knife, which is also what Li Linfu is good at.

Li Linfu smiled and took a cup of Li Qing. The generation taught: "The way of the official, first of all, qualifications, qualifications do not come out of thin air, but rely on your accumulation in the local land, don't look at you as a sesame petty official like the main book, but this is the first foundation of your land is to start from the main book, although the local is hard, but it is easy to make political achievements, but it is a pity that you are eager for quick success, too early to enter the court, lost the foundation, if you listen to my advice, or go to the local government to be a good official." ”

He smiled and patted Li Qing's shoulder, with the care of his elders, and said earnestly: "You are still young, listen to my advice, I will let you go to the place to be a long history, what do you think?" ”
