Wang Gui's face became even more ugly, and he hesitated for a moment before he said hatefully: "We have already been kicked out of the Hedong Army." ”

"Why?"

"Can't you think of a reason?"

"Is it ..... Because of disarmament? Li Yanqing suddenly remembered this reason.

Wang Gui nodded, "The border army on Hedong Road was cut 30,000 and transferred back to the capital, Yao Pingzhong of course had to keep his henchmen, so the army of the deputy marshal was cut, including me, Lao Niu, and Liu Jian were all transferred back to the capital, Lao Niu and I are going to go back to Beijing this time to find a way to see if we can be transferred to Hebei, so we won't trouble your old man!" ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "Don't say such sour words, you kid, I can't ask for it if you want to go to Jingzhao Mansion, I thought you would prefer to go to the capital." ”

Wang Gui smiled bitterly and said: "Of course the capital is comfortable, but the water in the capital is too deep, and the deputy marshal will no longer command the troops when he enters Beijing. ”

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is a pension officer, and Li Yanqing knows that the seed master has been completely hollowed out, and this should be Zhao Ji's last step to get rid of the seed army.

Li Yanqing groaned and said: "Since it is also the will of heaven that we met in Fenglingdu, I will not say polite words, I will go to the Privy Council to do some activities after the capital, and transfer the three of you to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Wang Gui and Niu Gao were overjoyed, they were waiting for Li Yanqing's words! The two hurriedly toasted.

Wang Gui was in a good mood, and he didn't say any more disappointing words, he asked with a smile: "I heard that I have a nephew?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "It's been three months, and I haven't seen this father yet!" The mood of having children is different! Old Niu, you have to work hard over there. ”

Niu Gao said in a sullen voice: "I also tried hard, but it didn't work!" ”

Wang Gui smiled: "Do you want my brother to help you!" ”

"you!" Niu Gao gave him a punch, "You wipe your ass clean, and then look back at how Tangyuan cleans you up." ”

"Aguina concubine?" Li Yanqing heard something in Niu Gao's words.

Wang Gui scratched his head and looked distressed, "It's not a concubine, it's a courtesan, but I'm already pregnant with my child, I rented a courtyard for her in Taiyuan to live in, this time I went back to Beijing, I really don't know how to open my mouth to Ah Yuan, but I can't help but say it." ”

Li Yanqing has no choice, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and no one can help Wang Gui with this kind of thing.

Everyone drank a few more glasses of wine, and at this time, Zhang Ying had already found a few sleds, and everyone went on the road together.

........

Li Yanqing's return to the capital is already the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital is even stronger, the sound of artillery can be heard everywhere, and the air is faintly filled with a smell of gunsmoke, Li Yanqing likes this faint taste very much, which means that the New Year is coming.

In front of the house, a group of children were having a snowball fight, and suddenly, a snowball flew towards Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing reacted quickly, dodged the snowball with one side of his head, and then another snowball flew and hit him right in the chest.

Li Yanqing realized that someone was deliberately playing a prank on him, he looked to both sides, and soon found that there were two little ladies hiding behind the big tree at the door, covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

Li Yanqing suddenly laughed, he also bent down and pinched a snowball and threw it over, just as he hit the tree trunk, the two little girls ran out with a smile, "Brother, you're back!" ”

The two little ladies are Li Yanqing's favorites, one is his sister-in-law Cao Jiaojiao, and the other is his sister Li Baoyan, Cao Jiaojiao is three years older than Li Baoyan, but Li Baoyan is very tall, only a little shorter than Cao Jiaojiao.

"Brother!"

Li Baoyan ran a step faster, and suddenly threw herself into Li Yanqing's arms, Li Yanqing hugged her all of a sudden, he liked this five-year-old sister very much, she looked like pink and jade, especially she also inherited the unique high nose bridge of the Li family, she was already a little beauty, Li Yanqing kissed her on the face, and asked with a smile: "Why is Xiao Baoniang here?" ”

"I'm coming to see my little nephew!"

The word 'nephew' came out of this little girl's mouth, which immediately made everyone laugh, but at this time, Li Yanqing found Cao Jiaojiao standing next to him looking at him stupidly, so he put his sister down and smiled at Cao Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, do you also want Brother to hug!" ”

"I'm rare!"

Cao Jiao's petite mouth curled, "Bao Niang, let's go!" ”

She pulled Bao Niang and ran to the house, ran up the steps and turned back to Li Yanqing to make a grimace, stuck out her tongue, and then pulled Bao Niang away, Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, just now he felt that Jiaojiao had grown up in an instant, and then he found out that Jiaojiao was actually still a child.

"Let's go inside!" Li Yanqing walked into the gate of the mansion with his own soldiers.

The housekeeper arranged for the soldiers to go to the West Guest House, and Li Yanqing walked into the back house, and as soon as he entered the room, a strong smell of milk came to his face, the so-called milk smell is not dry, which refers to the unique taste of babies, breast milk and diapers are mixed together.

His wife Cao Yun was sitting on the hot kang, gently shaking the cradle, and when she saw her husband coming in, she hurriedly 'shhhhh

Cao Yun stepped forward quickly, threw herself into her husband's arms, Li Yanqing gently hugged his wife, he felt that his wife had regained her pre-pregnancy slenderness, he couldn't help whispering a few words in his wife's ear, Cao Yun's face was suddenly ashamed, and she glanced at her husband again, and then took her husband's hand and came to the cradle.

Li Yanqing finally saw his son, wearing a tiger head hat on his head, his delicate little face was flushed, and his fleshy little mouth was sucking slightly, as if he was still savoring the sweetness of breast milk.

"I just fell asleep with milk."

Cao Yun looked at her baby son with infinite tenderness, her biggest regret was that she didn't have enough milk, and her son could drink it, so she had to hire a nurse.

Li Yanqing lowered his head and kissed his son's little face gently, he also felt a little regretful in his heart, his son has been three months old, and he has not seen the birth and the full moon, and there is no photography in this era, so he can no longer see what his son looked like when he was born.

Cao Yun saw the sorrow in her husband's eyes, so she comforted him softly: "After the beginning of spring, our family will go to Jingzhao Mansion, and you will be able to be with your son every day." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, and said with a smile: "I heard that the old man likes him very much?" ”

Cao Yun had a smile on his face, "The old man specially asked the master to calculate his life, saying that Bao'er was unspeakably expensive when he grew up, so the old man was interested, and he came to see him every seven or eight days." ”

Li Yanqing frowned slightly, "Bao'er's milk name was also given by my father?" ”

"It's not, it's the old man, everyone calls him Xiao Baolang, husband, don't you like this name?"

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, "The official name is given by my grandfather, and the milk name is given by my great-grandfather, it seems that I am his father!" ”

Cao Yun smiled, "Why don't you discuss with them and change the name." ”

"Forget it! Can't mess with them. ”

Li Yanqing is helpless, to be honest, he really doesn't like his son's official name very much, Li Pu is too conservative and lacks spirit, of course, Li Yanqing also knows that his father has always disapproved of his too sharp edge, and he can't do anything about himself, so he can only expect his grandson to be able to hide it.

"Husband, why don't you ask Sisi and Qing'er?" Cao Yun smiled and diverted the topic.

"Yes! I don't seem to see them, where have they gone? ”

"They went to the Lotus Temple, and it is said that the Guanyin Temple there is very effective, and they thought about making a wish."

"But can she go out?" Li Yanqing asked worriedly.

"The situation is much better this year, I have been out twice after the winter, and I wanted to accompany her, but I really couldn't leave." After a pause, Cao Yun whispered again: "Husband, Sisi wants a child very much." ”

Li Yanqing was silent for a while, of course he knew Sisi's thoughts, especially when his eldest son was born, which was even more of a stimulus to her, but Sisi's body did not allow her to have another child, this is the consensus of all famous doctors, and he has been with her for so many years, and he has never had any contraception, but she just can't get pregnant.

"Husband, if you persuade her again, it's actually okay to adopt a child."

"I tried to persuade her, but she didn't want to."

"That was in the past, and it may not be the same now."

"She's willing now?" Li Yanqing looked back at his wife.

"Although she didn't say this, but I know her thoughts, last month Du Erniang picked up an orphan at Xiangguo Temple, brought it back and raised it herself, Sisi went to see the child a few times."

"She wants to raise that child?" Li Yanqing suddenly understood something.

"That's Xiaolang, Sisi wants a little lady more, and Du Erniang treats that child as a treasure, Zhang Hu has named the child Zhang Wenxia, that child has nothing to do with Sisi, I just said that through this incident, I found that the thinking method has changed."

Li Yanqing took a few steps with his hands in his hands, "Maybe there is really a chance." ”

"Husband mean you have a child?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Some time ago, the black party was in turmoil, Qingdong County was breached, thousands of innocent people died, and a young couple also died in the chaos, leaving a baby girl who had just reached the end of the month, and was later carried to Gyeongju by the fugitives, Mr. Mo's sister also happened to want to adopt a child, this child grew very well, and Mr. Mo took her back to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"Where is this kid now?"

"It should be in the capital, Mr. Mo has been back a few days in advance."

"Maybe Mr. Mo's sister likes this little lady very much?"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Several passages from Hedong to Hebei have been blocked by heavy snow, Mr. Mo can only go back to the capital first, it is estimated that he will take the child to the Daimyo's Mansion after the New Year, and his sister should not have seen this child yet." ”

Cao Yun thought for a while, "I'll tell Sisi about this matter, if she is interested, we will go to see the child again." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, his eyes couldn't help but fall into the cradle again, his son was sleeping soundly with his little fists clenched.
