At this time, Tang Yuan'er walked in slowly with a pot of tea, she had just finished confinement, and her body was still relatively weak, Wang Gui hurriedly stepped forward to take the teapot and complained to her: "You go back to the house to rest, just let the maid come!" ”

Tang Yuan'er smiled, "I don't care about others, Lao Li is a distinguished guest, I don't dare to slack off!" ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "Ah Yuan, you say that, you don't know my old bottom, what kind of distinguished guest am I in front of the two of you?" ”

"If I used to be too lazy to pour you tea, now! It's different, I don't dare to offend Agui's boss. ”

Tang Yuan'er smiled and poured Li Yanqing a cup of strong tea, "But I'm still very grateful to you, you never take Agui to the land of fireworks, unlike some people, who want to drink flower wine and encourage my family Agui to go." ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, it seemed that Niu Gao had made this Mrs. Tang unhappy, and he also joked: "I said Ah Yuan, shouldn't you consider giving Ah Gui a concubine?" ”

Wang Gui was so frightened that his face turned white, and he stood behind his wife and hurriedly waved his hand to Li Yanqing, but Tang Yuan smiled and said: "Of course you can take a concubine, but you have to be able to afford it, how much money can he make with a small command, even if I have this heart, he doesn't have this ability." ”

"Oh? So to what extent does Agui have to be qualified to take a concubine? ”

Tang Yuan'er's eyes rolled, "I see that at least the commander of the capital must be reached!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "This requirement is not high, and it will only take two or three years." ”

Tang Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Since Lao Li wants my family Agui to take a concubine as soon as possible, then I have to help him!" ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "I understand, Ah Yuan, don't worry!" I will definitely let Agui get his wish as soon as possible. ”

Wang Gui rolled his eyes, what does it mean to let himself get his wish as soon as possible, he is already pregnant with Liujia in Taiyuan, how long can it be delayed?

Tang Yuan'er put down the teapot and turned to leave, Wang Gui hurriedly helped her out, "It's slippery in the yard, you be careful!" ”

Walking out of the room, Tang Yuan'er looked at her husband with a smile, "Look at your beauty, did Lao Li's words go up to your heart?" ”

"He's joking, how can I have this idea, besides, how can it be so easy to be promoted to the command?"

Tang Yuan'er stretched out her finger and poked him hard at the door of the head, "I still don't have this idea, don't dream, even if you become a captain, you don't want to take a concubine!" ”

Wang Gui secretly scolded Li Yanqing in his heart for being troublesome, that incident could only be explained slowly, and it came naturally, and now he was shaken out by Li Yanqing, wouldn't it be self-defeating, Wang Gui had to say that he didn't dare to help his wife back to the room.

"Lao Li! Don't mess around with this kind of joke in the future, it will affect the relationship between husband and wife. ”

"you!" Li Yanqing glanced at Wang Gui with disdain, "Don't pretend in front of me, you kid, what should you do with that courtesan in Taiyuan?" People are already pregnant with your child, how long do you want to drag it out, stretch out your head and slash your head, shrink your head is also a knife, just say it early, Ah Yuan is not an unreasonable person, will she really not let your child enter the door? ”

"And what do I say?"

"So I asked you to change the house, the house is big, the back house has two yards, at least there is no problem in terms of living conditions, everyone can be out of sight and out of mind, now you have this yard, if you bring it up, Ah Yuan will definitely worry about where they live? If you change the house, you will reduce a lot of resistance, can you use your brains? ”

Wang Gui muttered after a while, "Okay! ”

"Don't worry about this matter, your courtyard will be transferred to Baoyanzhai, I will arrange an official residence for you in Jingzhao Mansion, and after the beginning of spring, Ah Yuan and Yun Niang will go to Jingzhao Mansion together."

Wang Gui was overjoyed, "Has it been decided that I will go to Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

"I told the old man, he promised to tell Gao Tongzhi about this, this is a gesture for Gao Tongzhi, although you are not the commander for the time being, but I let you command the power, you and Niu Gao are in charge of the recruits."

Wang Gui sighed, "My biggest heart problem is Xingniang, if she can enter the house, I really have no worries, I'm afraid that Ah Yuan won't be able to think about it!" I told her that I was pregnant. ”

Li Yanqing blinked and smiled: "I will find a suitable person to persuade Ah Yuan!" ”

As he was talking, the servant said in the courtyard: "Official, the guest is here!" ”

.........

Tang Huai didn't expect to meet Li Yanqing at Wang Gui's house, he was a little embarrassed when they met, but Li Yanqing's enthusiasm and Wang Gui's gag quickly made this embarrassment disappear, and when Li Yanqing proposed to go to Granny Cao's meatloaf shop for a drink, they finally found the feeling they had before.

"I still remember the way Lao Tang drank the blood of the deer, and when I saw the woman next to me, my eyes were glazed."

"Go! I hate the mention of the deer blood, if it weren't for drinking the deer blood, I'm still on a blind date now, and I would have hurriedly decided on a family affair there. ”

Tang Huai's words caused Li Yanqing and Wang Gui to laugh, although many years have passed in the past, it seems to have happened just yesterday, and it is so beautiful to recall.

But Tang Huai's current situation is very bad, he has been loyally following Tong Guan, but in the end he was betrayed by Tong Guan, assumed the responsibility that should not have been borne by him, was removed from all official positions, and was idle at home.

Although Li Yanqing had asked Yue Fei to send his father a strange stone, this hint made Tang Huai's heart flutter, but he felt very guilty in his heart, he completely forgot about Li Yanqing's existence when he followed Tong Guan, and even when they were in Yunzhou together, he didn't go to say hello to Li Yanqing.

It's just that Tang Huai didn't expect to meet Li Yanqing in the capital.

"Old Tang, what are your plans for the future?" Li Yanqing held the wine glass and looked at Tang Huai with a clear gaze.

"Me?"

Tang Huai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know, I'm going to do some business first!" My father gave me 10,000 yuan, and I saw what I could do in the capital. ”

"Otherwise, come with me to Jingzhao!" Li Yanqing smiled slightly.

"This ..... Let's forget it! I don't want to bother you. ”

"Old soup!" Wang Gui slapped the table, he was a little anxious, "What is trouble, our brothers, is Lao Li perfunctory to you?" ”

Tang Huai hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't mean that, my official position has been wiped to the end now, and I don't even have an official rank, what can I do when I go to Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

"You can be my military staff, I will appoint you to be in charge of the military affairs of the recruits, and train the recruits together with Agui and Niu Gao, and when the time is ripe, I will make you the commander again, and you should be able to be reinstated."

Of course, Tang Huai knew that he was different from ordinary soldiers, he had already achieved it from Captain Liupin Zhenwei, as long as he had meritorious service, he would be able to be reinstated, and he would not have to go up step by step, but the key was to see who was willing to give him this opportunity, originally Tong Guan could have recommended him to Guo Yaoshi or Yao Pingzhong, but Tong Guan didn't care about his life or death at all, it had already chilled him, and now his friend Li Yanqing, who was still a friend since childhood, was willing to give him this opportunity, how could he not be moved?

"Yanqing, I used to ....."

"Stop! Stop! ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly interrupted Tang Huai's words of gratitude, "I can't stand that kind of sensual lyricism, don't call me Yanqing, I don't have this kind of friendship with you, and you kid owes me two times yet?" ”

Tang Huai was stunned, "When?" ”

"After the prodigy competition, you took the "Great Sage Monster Hunt" I wrote to sell it in Lushan Academy, and divided me into 30% after talking about good things, did you give it to you in the end? And you, you boy, you owe me two bucks too. ”

After Li Yanqing finished speaking, the three of them immediately burst into laughter.

The friendship of childhood made the last trace of mustard in Tang Huai's heart finally disappear, and he also laughed heartily, and the haze of dismissal was swept away.

"Old Tang, there's something I really want you to help with!" Li Yanqing poured Tang Huai a glass of wine.

"What else can't you do?" Tang Huai drank a lot of wine, he took out a small folding fan from his waist and swayed it gently, this is a habit he has developed since childhood, and he still can't change it.

"I really need your help with this!"

Li Yanqing glanced at Wang Gui, whose face was flushed, and said a few words to Tang Huai.

Tang Huai's face changed, and he glared at Wang Gui viciously, "You kid is really raising a housewife outside?" ”

Wang Gui's face was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, Li Yanqing hurriedly said: "Ah Gui has already known that Ah Gui is wrong in this matter, how to punish him when he turns around, that is Ah Yuan's business, but since the other party is already pregnant, I guess Ah Gui's father and grandfather are also very happy, so you have to persuade Ah Yuan in this matter, she has listened to you since she was a child, and only you can persuade her?" ”

"Where did she hear me since she was a child, Lao Li don't put gold on my face?"

Tang Huai was really depressed in his heart, although it was really annoying for Wang Gui to raise a woman outside, but he also had to face the reality, the woman was already pregnant with Wang Gui's child, Wang Gui's grandfather and parents must be very happy, especially Wang Wanhao believed in the prosperity of his descendants, and they would definitely recognize the identity of that woman.

If his sister refuses to accept it, things will be in trouble, and if she goes to the elders of both sides, it is likely to lead to the breakdown of this marriage, and that must be something that Tang Yuan'er can't bear.

I have to persuade my sister to accept this woman as a concubine, Lao Li is right, I can only come forward in this matter.

Tang Huai glared at Wang Gui fiercely again, "This time it's in Lao Li's face, forget it, I'll help you persuade her, next time you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Li Yanqing kicked Wang Gui below, and Wang Gui hurriedly poured Tang Huai full of wine, "This time it's me who is wrong, I promise there will be no next time!" ”

Tang Huai said to Li Yanqing again: "Although my sister is a knife mouth and tofu heart, but this matter must be persuaded to her, and she can find the right time, otherwise even if she agrees to be wronged, this kid will have to suffer in the future." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "I've thought about it for Ah Gui, and when I go back, I will arrange a five-acre official mansion for him in Jingzhao Mansion, and then let him temporarily take the position of commander of the capital, Ah Yuan must be very happy, and then take advantage of her excitement to pick this matter away, and her resistance will be a little less." ”

"This friend of yours is also doing too kindly!"

Tang Huai shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm not saying that Agui can't marry a concubine, it's really his behavior of cutting first and then playing is too bad, the other party is pregnant, his wife doesn't know, he can't stand it, he should be punished severely, but you are covering him up in every possible way, Lao Li, are you harming him do you know?" ”

Li Yanqing also smiled: "Aren't I just afraid that Agui's marriage will have problems?" That hurts Ah Yuan even more, and Ah Gui is not the kind of person who spends his days drinking, if Zheng Fatzi does this kind of thing, I will help him? ”

Tang Huai nodded, "Everything you say is reasonable, okay!" So when will I pick this matter aside, Agui, can you talk about it? ”

Wang Gui lowered his head and thought for a while: "It's best to be during the New Year!" Xingniang is alone in Taiyuan, I don't feel at ease. ”

"Then you have to be mentally prepared for a bad year!"

Wang Gui nodded silently, "I understand." ”

The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine and went home.......

On New Year's Eve, the capital is particularly lively, although the cold wind is bitter and the ground is covered with thick snow, but the streets are still full of people, and from time to time an ox cart or donkey cart pulling goods rushes by, splashing muddy water on the ground.

Li Yanqing walked aimlessly on the street, he liked this feeling very much, relaxed, at ease, enjoying the atmosphere of the New Year.

"Official! My dear! ”

There was a woman's voice behind him, Li Yanqing didn't pay attention to it, and when he suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, he realized that the person behind him was calling himself, he hurriedly turned around, and saw a brightly dressed woman waving to him in a dozen steps.

Li Yanqing laughed, and he walked over, "Lady Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Mrs. Sun glanced at him, and said in a somewhat soft voice: "You forgot about the slave family!" ”

Li Yanqing didn't dare to provoke this prickly woman, he quickly diverted the topic and asked with a smile: "Why is the eldest lady here?" ”

As soon as he said it, he knew that he was wrong, wasn't it the Daxiangguo Temple branch of Baoyan Zhai across the street? Li Yanqing patted his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm thinking about things in my heart, I'm a little confused, don't blame the eldest lady!" ”

"Humph! If the proprietor heard this, he had to jump to his feet, and his shop forgot about it. ”

"It's the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month today, hasn't the store closed yet?"

"Today is the last day, it will be closed in the afternoon, there are not many customers in the store, let's go and sit down! Drink a cup of hot tea. ”

Li Yanqing nodded and followed Mrs. Sun to the Baoyanzhai store.
