As soon as the carriage came to a stop, a beautiful woman hurriedly stepped out of the carriage.
It was Feng Yinu.
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, his woman naturally didn't need to be serious to say kind words, she didn't even get up, she just waved weakly and smiled: "Hey, beauty!" ”
Feng Yinu immediately gave him a roll of his eyes, and asked excitedly: "Li Qi, I heard that Sister Hongnu gave birth to a boy. ”
Richie nodded.
Feng Yinu looked at him with a tired face, and he still had two panda eyes, and said with concern: "What's the matter?" You don't look good. ”
Li Qi waved his hand and said weakly: "I'm fine, you go to see the red slave first, let me take a breath, and I'll go over later." ”
Feng Yinu nodded his head, and suddenly heard a burst of talking from inside, as if he had come to the market, and said in surprise: "There are so many people?" ”
"Don't mention it." Li Qi shook his head and said, "You go outside and take a look, see if there is anyone working or doing business, I suspect that all the people in our capital are inside." ”
Feng Yinu glanced at him suspiciously.
Li Qi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how is the condition of the teacher?" "He's been very busy lately, and he hasn't been there for several days.
Feng Yinu said with a smile: "My sister's illness is much better than at the beginning, that strange ten niangs really deserve to be a miracle doctor." Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed, took out a sachet from her arms, handed it to Li Qi, and said, "I was originally going to come at noon, and it is for it that I have dragged it until now." ”
Li Qi said: "What is this?" ”
Feng Yinu said: "Oh, this is a gift from Wei Shi Niang to your son, she said that if you put this sachet by your side, snakes, insects, rats and ants will not approach." ”
"So powerful? Tsk, that's a good thing. Li Qi wanted to reach out and take it, but then said, "You can take it in and give it to the red slave." ”
Feng Yinu now just wanted to see the baby and Ji Hongnu, but he didn't say much, and said, "Okay." Then I'll go in first. "Say it. She walked briskly inside, and faintly heard her say, "Oh, my sister and I have gifts in the car. ”
Li Qitou didn't reply: "Okay, I know." ”
Feng Yinu walked for a while, and another group of people came in.
Li Qi looked up, Wu Zi didn't get up, and said with a wry smile: "I'll just say it." I always feel that there is still someone who hasn't arrived, it turns out to be you Xiao Qin. ”
These people were the officials of the Bureau of Commerce headed by Qin Hui, and after they handed over the gifts to their subordinates, they came to Li Qi and congratulated Li Qi one after another.
Qin Hui said with a hint of apology: "Xiaguan went out of the city to do business today, and when I came back, I heard that you like your son." I rushed over immediately. ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "You just have this heart, it's still important to be on business." After a pause, he said again: "By the way, I'm afraid I won't go to the yamen in the next few days, you have to pay attention, this is a critical period, and I don't want any mistakes." ”
Qin Hui bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured. Xia Guan will definitely do it foolproof. ”
Li Qi snorted, and said: "Also, about the delivery of the ordnance supervision smelting workshop, you can also go and help take a look, don't be cheated." ”
"Yes, Xia Guan remembered."
Li Qi smiled, patted Qin Hui's shoulder and said, "Go eat inside, I'll go over later." As he spoke, he whispered, "Don't say that I, an adult, didn't take care of you." There's a lot of heavyweights in there. ”
Qin Hui smiled when he heard this, nodded and didn't speak.
"Let's go inside."
"Yes."
Li Qi sat for a while, took a breath, drank another bowl of ginseng soup, and then cheered up and went inside.
Bai Shizhong is still a very old-fashioned person, and he doesn't like to do any buffets. But there are so many people that if you use a table, you have to put it on the street, there is no way. I had to temporarily change to a buffet.
Drunken Xianju also temporarily closed its doors for this reason, Wu Xiaoliu rushed over with a group of apprentices and grandchildren, and transferred a lot of cooks from Taishi's Mansion, so he got this meal out in time.
By the time Li Qi went inside, they had already eaten, and the group of lively second goods in Gao Ya were very excited, they were everywhere, holding wine glasses, regardless of whether the other party was an official or a businessman, they raised their glasses and drank very happily, and when they saw Li Qi coming, they immediately rushed up, Li Qi waved his left hand, and his right foot flew out, and immediately threw off the two or two goods, and quickly slipped away. Looking around, I saw that those petty officials were aiming at those ministers, it was really a God-given opportunity, if you didn't grasp it, you would really have no face to mix in the officialdom. Not to mention, this Qin Hui is really capable, he can stand with Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others, and he is also qualified to speak, which makes Li Qi have to be impressed.
Li Qi walked around the crowd, greeting everyone one by one, thanking them for coming, this thank you is just to a group of people, saving a lot. Cai Jing and the others were also very considerate of him and didn't pull him to say anything.
But even so, after this circle, he was still tired and about to collapse.
After coming out of the banquet, Li Qi went to the house again, and saw that Ji Hongnu and the baby were asleep, and today was also happy and tired for their mother and son, Li Qi couldn't bear to wake them up, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Li Zhengxi, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning.
After a while, he got up and went to the female compatriots to go around, this circle is quite enjoyable, after all, the women who can come here are all beauties, from girls to noblewomen, everything, warblers and swallows, people linger.
It wasn't until nearly three days ago that these guests said goodbye one by one, as for the two goods in Gao Ya, all of them were carried out, without exception, it is not difficult to see from Gao Yu's gloomy face that Gao Yanei will definitely usher in a bitter scolding after going back
It was late at night, and the cool night breeze was blowing the mess left by the guests.
Li Qi, who hadn't closed his eyes for two consecutive days, didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, wearing a coat, standing alone in the pavilion, his face looked very worried, and suddenly sighed lightly and shook his head.
"I can't believe that you would sigh today."
Someone suddenly said from behind.
Li Qi turned his head and saw that it was Mrs. Bai, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law." It's been a hard day. ”
"Excuse yourself with these kind words." Madame Bai shook her head and asked curiously: "On this big day, why do you look so preoccupied. ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned and said with a wry smile: "Maybe it's because I'm too tired." By the way, mother-in-law, why are so many people here today. ”
Madame Bai smiled: "I think it's because you are usually too low-key, except for the court." You have almost no intersection with them, whether you are returning from Yanjing or Fengxiang, you don't have much to celebrate, thinking that the British duke, twice triumphantly returned. It's all a big feast, and it's a few days in a row. And now that you are deeply valued by the emperor, those ministers naturally want to be friendly with you, and they also want to get what they want from you, this time they finally let them seize an opportunity, how can they let it go, so there will be this phenomenon of piling up. Maybe it will be the next two days. ”
Li Qi shook his head with a smile, and half-jokingly: "I see, I thought they couldn't find a place to eat, so they came to eat." ”
"Go, don't talk nonsense." Madame Bai glanced at him, and said, "I have something to tell you." ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said guiltily: "Mother-in-law wants me to call Qi Niang back as soon as possible." ”
Madame Bai nodded and said, "Yes, the old man and I promised you in the first place. Let Qi Niang go to Jiangnan, it is all because the situation between the DPRK and China has not yet been clear, and now that Qi Niang has stabilized, you should also call Qi Niang back, she is alone over there, can you bear it. ”
What is stable dìng down, the real challenge has just begun. You're smart, but you're a woman after all. Li Qi's eyes did not close, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother-in-law." Actually, the son-in-law plans to give Qi Niang another year. ”
Madame Bai's eyes widened and she said, "What? You're also going to let Qi Niang stay there for a year. ”
Li Qi nodded and affirmed: "Maybe on the surface, the situation between the DPRK and China seems to have stabilized now, but in fact, next year is the most critical year." Starting next year, the new law will be truly popularized throughout the country, and it will certainly not be calm at that time, and I can't guarantee what the new law will bring, and no one knows. If it can have the desired effect, then it will not be better, if there is a slight deviation in one of the links, then all the blame will fall on my head, and the wider the popularity, the greater the damage caused, even the Taishi was also caused by this, how can I be spared, maybe Yuanyou's party membership will be repeated again. I asked Qi Niang to wait for another year, firstly, because I was afraid of this uncertainty; Second, Qi Niang is also the person I trust the most. ”
Mrs. Bai frowned lightly when she heard this, and sighed softly: "The change method is indeed a double-edged sword, it can make the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty come to congratulate you uninvited, and at the same time can push you into the abyss, but then again, if there is no new law, how can you have today's status, alas, it really makes people love and hate." However, it is also remarkable that you can maintain a cautious attitude at this time. Just pity my Qi Niang, alas. ”
Li Qi stroked his eyes and said with a smile: "If the mother-in-law misses Qi Niang, you can go to Hangzhou to visit her, and take the red slave mother and son casually, and I will pay for it." ”
Madame Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Li Qi suspiciously, without saying a word.
A touch of cowardice flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he said, "Mother-in-law, why are you looking at me like this." ”
Madame Bai frowned and said, "You don't seem to have anything else on your mind. ”
Depend on! I've said it so perfectly, you can still see it, it's okay to give a way to live, it's very laborious to ask an honest person like me to lie, you can't keep making me thankless. Li Qimo said: "I am now focusing on my relatives, where do I have the energy to think about anything else." Besides, what could be more worrying than the rapid changes in officialdom. ”
Madame Bai thinks about it, and the biggest problem that Li Qi is currently encountering is the success of the new law.
As everyone knows, Li Qi is not worried about this at all, he has great confidence in the new law, because he has planned it perfectly, what he is most worried about is the change of Jingkang, especially the birth of Li Zhengxi, which has added a responsibility to his shoulders, he has no confidence to dare to pat his chest in front of his son and promise that his father will definitely be able to stop Jingkang's shame. Because at that time, he can't help but face external troubles, and he has to face internal worries, and if he doesn't deal with any of them, he will fall into a place of no return, and this double pressure has overwhelmed him.
What if it really can't be stopped?
He really didn't dare to continue to think about it, although he had carefully planned this game for a long, long time, but the world's major events are ever-changing, sometimes a person, one thing may change the result, this is a gamble, the gamble is not him alone, but the entire Da Song, including his family, he really can't afford to lose. Therefore, whenever he has more concern in his heart, he also has more fear, and when he has more, the more he is afraid of losing.
Even if Madam Bai has a demonic IQ, it is impossible to guess what Li Qi is thinking, but the pressure brought to him by the new law is too great, and she said: "Don't worry too much, at least now everything is going on in an orderly manner." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes! However, I still have a lot of things to deal with recently, and the red slave mother and son are on it. ”
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Bai said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of them, I believe that the red slave will also forgive you, after all, men should be ambitious in all directions, how can they worry about this child's private affairs." ”
Li Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes children's private feelings are also a luxury. (To be continued)
