That night, Li Yanqing was like a fish in water, and the indescribable affection lingered, and the two did not fall asleep until late at night.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, a magpie's surprised voice came from the courtyard, "Hasn't the little official gotten up yet?" ”

"He was tired from the journey, so I asked him to sleep a little longer."

In the room, Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "Is it because of the fatigue of the journey?" He imagined how unnatural Sisi's face would be when he said this.

However, Li Yanqing also admires Sisi, such a delicate body, she can get up early the next day, a woman's toughness!

Li Yanqing stretched his waist, put on a piece of clothing and got up, he walked to the door, only to see the magpie holding a plate and talking to Sisi, "He used to get up and run on time at the fifth watch, how can he be lazy now." ”

"You won't ask me to get up at five o'clock for the rest of my life!" Li Yanqing leaned against the door, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the magpie with a smile.

The magpie was so frightened that the plate almost fell to the ground, "It turns out that the little official is up!" ”

I haven't seen a magpie for more than a year, although her appearance has not changed much, but she has grown a lot taller, and she has gained a little fatter, and more importantly, Li Yanqing has seen a kind of maturity and ability in her eyes that she did not have before.

"What's on the plate?" Li Yanqing pulled back his thoughts and asked with a smile.

"It's the tea I ordered, and the little officials want to drink tea in the morning." The magpie lowered his head a little weakly.

"Come in!"

Li Yanqing went back to the house and sat down, the magpie came in with a tea bowl bowed, put down the tea bowl and stood aside with her hands down, according to the habit, it should be her combing the hair of the little official, she suddenly remembered Sisi, combing her husband's hair seemed to be a matter of concubines.

Li Yanqing skillfully knotted his hair and put on a flat scarf, he saw that the magpie was a little in a daze, so he smiled and said: "In the army, I comb my hair, wash my feet, lay my own quilts, serve my own food, everything is done by myself, and I am used to it." ”

"Oh!" The magpie whispered in agreement, but did not speak.

She is also very conflicted in her heart, she already has a career she loves, and more than a dozen subordinates, sometimes she is too busy to eat, and sometimes she will do it very late, for this reason, the master also bought a little maid to take care of her daily life.

But when the little official came back, she hoped that she could return to the little official and continue to be his little maid, which was also what she liked to do.

For a while, the magpie was full of contradictions, and she didn't know what to do.

"Magpie, why don't you leave, you're going to be late!" Sisi walked in and smiled.

At this moment, the magpie finally made up his mind, "Then I'll go, little official, we'll see you in the evening." ”

"See you in the evening!" Li Yanqing smiled and nodded.

The magpie's heart was gloomy for a while, and he turned around and walked away quickly.

Sisi looked at her slender figure and sighed lowly: "Husband, you shouldn't be so cold to her. ”

"What is not called coldness?"

"She's your little maid, I haven't seen her for a long time, you should hug her, or let her help you comb your hair, I believe she will be very happy."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "She is no longer my little maid, she was not two years ago, I asked my father to return her deed of sale to her mother, and she knows it herself." ”

"But she still thinks of herself as your little maid in her heart."

"Then cut off her idea, she is very good now, she has skills, she can make money, she is the highest paid person in Baoyanzhai, Zhang Gu is willing to poach her at a high price of 300 yuan a month......."

"But she just wants to be your little maid, husband, don't you understand?"

Li Yanqing didn't speak for a long time, he gently rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice: "She was very hesitant just now, which means that she also wants to do her own thing, I should fulfill her, she is only fourteen years old, everything is still ignorant, and when she grows up in the future, she is really sensible, and she will be grateful to me." ”

Sisi nodded silently, in fact, she also agreed with her husband's words, giving Magpie a new life may not be a good thing.

.........

Li Yanqing came to the Hongqiao Inn and happened to meet Yang Guang and three brothers at the door of the inn.

Yang Guang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I took my three brothers to visit the capital today, they are all here for the first time." ”

"Be careful yourself, don't stir up trouble."

"Don't worry, general! We all get it. ”

Li Yanqing gave them a little money and asked, "What about Mr. Mo?" ”

"He went out early in the morning, as if to visit a relative."

Li Yanqing knew that Mo Jun's uncle was in the capital, and he was almost seventy years old, so he probably went to visit his uncle.

Since everyone had an arrangement, Li Yanqing did not force everyone, so he hired an ox cart to enter the city alone and came to Zheng's mansion on Baokangmen Street.

The reason why Li Yanqing regarded visiting Zheng Rongtai as his first arrangement was because he wanted to know what had happened, and even Concubine Zheng was demoted to a concubine.

The front door of the Zheng family was very deserted, and even the gatekeeper was listless, until Li Yanqing gave him a handful of money, and he reluctantly entered the house to find someone for Li Yanqing.

Not long after, Zheng Rongtai walked out quickly, Li Yanqing was startled, he hadn't seen him for a few months, Zheng Rongtai had actually lost a lot of weight.

When Zheng Rongtai saw Li Yanqing, his mouth grinned, and his eyes suddenly turned a little red.

Li Yanqing knew that something big must have happened, so he said to him: "Brother Zheng, let's find a place to sit!" ”

Zheng Rongtai followed Li Yanqing to a teahouse not far away, and the two went up to the second floor and sat down, Zheng Rongtai was discouraged and said: "I have been dismissed, demoted to a commoner, and I was exposed to cheating in the imperial examination. ”

"It's okay at home!"

"Good what?"

Zheng Rongtai snorted, "Since my sister was demoted, the family has been turned upside down, my grandmother, no!" should call her an old beggar, she actually insisted on divorcing my grandfather, my grandfather divorced her in a fit of anger, and went back to Xiangzhou to retire, my official was also lost, and the imperial examination reputation was also removed, and I don't want to be an official again in this life. ”

"What the hell happened to make it so serious?" Li Yanqing asked in a low voice.

"Do you remember the last time the prince asked me to arrange a meeting with you?"

Li Yanqing nodded, of course he remembered, "Could it be related to this matter?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, but the prince tasted the sweetness and always asked me to send him a message, but one night I came out of the East Palace, was caught by Li Yan and beaten half to death, and I also searched for a secret letter from the prince to Gao Shen, and Li Yan told the Son of Heaven."

Only then did Li Yanqing understand the truth of the matter, this matter is indeed very serious, it can only be said that the prince is too imprudent, this kind of thing can only be done once or twice at most, he is actually happy to do it, and sooner or later someone will find out.

Li Yanqing remembered the first time he saw the crown prince Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan was returning from hunting with a large group of powerful children, swaggering through the market, at that time he had just been canonized as the crown prince not long ago, it can be seen that Zhao Huan's behavior is very casual, sitting on the position of the prince but indecent, no wonder the shame of Jingkang occurred when he was in power, this is no accident!

At this time, Zheng Rongtai suddenly remembered that the seed master Dao was also dismissed, and he hurriedly asked: "Isn't it possible that the virtuous brother was also implicated!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, how could I be in the capital?" I have applied for a transfer to work under Tong Guan, and my life is sad! ”

"Hey! We are all the same, my sister was degraded, our Zheng family is like the sky is falling, my father sighs all day long, my mother washes her face with tears all day long, my sister can't even remarry, she must go to the female Taoist temple to become a monk, do you know how I survived these two months? ”

"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing, it's not necessarily a bad thing that your sister is not the imperial concubine."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I can't tell, but you'll understand later."

Zheng Rongtai let out a long sigh, "Our Zheng family has no future!" ”

Li Yanqing sighed and said, "But your Zheng family still has money, right, it's rich enough to rival the country." ”

"What can you do if you have money, the key is that you don't have power."

"Your Zheng family can use money to secretly help the prince, as long as he ascends the throne, he will definitely repay your Zheng family, and you will be on the verge again."

Zheng Rongtai perked up, "You said that the prince would not abandon our Zheng family?" ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "Isn't it because the prince has taken a fancy to your Zheng family's money?" ”
