readx; Li Qing'an's killing in Xinfeng County did not reach Chang'an in the end, for Li Heng, the sneak attack on the immigrants of Henan Province is not a glorious thing, and his purpose is not to expose Li Qing'an's cruelty, and for Li Qing'an, he also does not want the people of Chang'an to know too much about these bloody things, he is just to deter the Guanzhong army and kill people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Under the tacit suppression of these two people, the Xinfeng County incident seemed to be like a gust of wind, which blew and then disappeared without a trace.

But for Li Qing'an and Li Heng, they all know that this matter is not over, it will not happen for no reason, let alone end for no reason, this is more like a headless corpse case, if the problem is found, it may become a big case, and if the problem is not found, it will disappear silently.

After Li Qingan came back from Xinfeng County, he did not return to the barracks, nor did he go to Qianniuwei's camp, but went to Dugu Mansion, Dugu Mansion has moved to Taipingfang, moved for more than half a month, and he has not been to see it once, which is not to say, but this is his father-in-law's house.

It just so happened that Dugu Mansion sent someone to send him a letter and asked him to go home for dinner tonight, so Li Qingan changed into a robe and a hat and went to Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Mansion is located in the northwest corner of Taipingfang, which was originally the old house of the Dugu family, 20 years ago the Dugu family moved to the new house of Wubenfang, this old house has been empty, only a few old family members who are responsible for taking care of and cleaning up the house, 20 years later, the Dugu family moved back to the old house again, because the old house is well maintained, only a simple repair, you can move in.

After nearly half a month of busyness and tidying up, Dugu Mansion finally cleaned up and began to invite the clansmen to eat and celebrate moving back to her hometown, but Mrs. Pei was very thoughtful, she knew that Li Qingan actually didn't like to be lively, so she specially bypassed the clansmen's gathering and invited Li Qingan to eat the next day.

The old house of Dugu Mansion covers an area of about 50 acres, it is the old house where the Dugu family has lived for a hundred years, and it was originally more open, but in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, Dugu Mansion donated about 20 acres of land in the east courtyard to the Chongguo Temple next door, which made this super mansion an ordinary mansion, despite this, the area of 50 acres is enough to become one of the famous mansions in Chang'an.

Since Princess Zhao will temporarily live in Dugu Mansion after returning from Anxi, Qianniuwei, who is in charge of public security in Chang'an County, also specially transferred a battalion of soldiers stationed in Yanshoufang to be stationed in Taipingfang, which happens to have an abandoned military camp opposite Chongguo Temple, and some craftsmen have begun to repair the military camp in the past few days.

In the evening, Li Qing'an's carriage slowly stopped in front of Dugu Mansion, today's Dugu Mansion seemed very quiet, completely different from last time, Li Qing'an got off the carriage, and the pearl that had been waiting at the door rushed up.

"Brother-in-law, I thought you wouldn't come!"

"Why don't you come? Do you think I'm still as untrustworthy as I was last time? ”

Li Qing'an asked her and Pei Wan'er to go to Qujiangchi for an autumn tour last time, but she couldn't go because of something, which made Mingzhu complain, she remembered what happened last time, and pouted: "Originally, we were going to go to the autumn tour ourselves, if you didn't come, we would have said it earlier, but we waited for you until noon, and we couldn't do it, brother-in-law, it's your fault!" ”

Li Qingan laughed and said: "This is indeed my fault, I will be fined three glasses of wine later, and I will confess to you." ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, her mood improved again, and she took Li Qingan's arm and walked to the house, "Brother-in-law, when did you say that my sister will come back, I feel like I've been waiting for a thousand years." ”

Li Qing'an really likes his sister-in-law, with her, he feels very relaxed and unrestrained, he smiled slightly: "You stupid girl, you haven't been to Broken Leaves, you should know how much time it takes on the road, she may only arrive in Ganzhou at this time!" ”

"People are just anxious! Brother-in-law, do you think my little nephew looks like a sister? ”

"Hmmm! Generally, sons follow their mothers more. ”

Li Qingan scratched his head, he suddenly found a serious problem, he actually forgot what his son looked like.

"What are you asking for?"

"Hee-hee, if you look like your sister, you look like me! Don't you understand this? ”

Mingzhu's face was a little red, and she hurriedly dragged Li Qingan into the small guest hall, "Mother, brother-in-law is here!" ”

Today is a family banquet, there is only a large couch in the small guest hall, there is a low table on the couch, which can seat more than a dozen people, the table is full of all kinds of delicacies, and the best wine is also placed in the ice bucket, and when Li Qing'an comes in, everyone else is also there.

In addition to Dugu and his wife, there is also Mingyue's brother who is also seated, his name is Dugu Changfeng, he was just promoted to Xuzhou Governor Shi last year, this time he went to Beijing to visit relatives, and his wife and four-year-old son also came together.

In addition, his uncle Pei Min was also here, this time his two sons did not come, but his daughters Pei Yu and Pei Wan'er also came.

Li Qing'an saw Pei Wan'er at first sight, a few days ago, Pei Min had implicitly conveyed the meaning of the Pei family's marriage to Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an also agreed, and the Pei family married, which is also what he wanted, of course, this Pei Wan'er looks very good, with a gentle and supple temperament, he likes it very much, but only he agrees, it is not enough, it is more important to ask the wife to agree, that is, to Mingyue nod, Pei Wan'er can enter the door, especially the family marriage, not the kind of concubine in the Lefang Qinglou is as simple as accepting concubines at will, Pei Wan'er will have a reputation when she enters the door, which is also a respect for the Pei family.

Pei Wan'er also knew a little, seeing Li Qing'an looking at her, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly, Mrs. Pei on the side also heard that the Pei family had officially notified the couple of them about this matter, so today's Pei Wan'er came to accompany her, which was also Mrs. Pei's meaning.

As the daughter of the Pei family, the Pei family can marry Li Qing'an, and the Pei family of course supports it, but on the other hand, she has to consider the interests of her husband's family, she knows that the Dugu family is not happy about this matter, which obviously dilutes the interests of the Dugu family in the future, and more importantly, Pei Wan'er married Li Qing'an, so what should she do with her little daughter?

The daughter of the family, the wife of Dugu, and the mother of the pearl, the conflict of these three roles makes Mrs. Pei's heart full of contradictions and helplessness.

Everyone was meticulously observed, and as soon as Li Qing'an entered the door, his eyes first fell on Pei Wan'er, Pei Min was secretly happy in his heart, as long as Li Qing'an likes Pei Wan'er, then this marriage will bear fruit in the future, but Dugu Haoran was a little unhappy in his heart, when the Pei family officially notified the Dugu family of this marriage, there was a voice of dissatisfaction in the Dugu family.

Of course, as a royal clansman, as a century-old famous family, the Dugu family will not be so stingy, Li Qingan, as a prince, in addition to his wife, he also has the right to marry other wives and concubines, which the Dugu family certainly understands.

Their dissatisfaction is not aimed at Li Qing'an, but at the Pei family, it is obvious that the Pei family has done a little overbearing, this matter should be explained by Li Qing'an to the Dugu family first, but the Pei family took the lead and directly reported the results to the Dugu family, which is obviously a bit of a power oppression, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Dugu family.

Therefore, today Pei Min came to Dugu's house for a banquet, Dugu Haoran ignored his brother-in-law a little, Mrs. Pei felt the displeasure in her husband's heart, she sighed secretly, and quickly got up to introduce her son to Li Qing'an.

"Shichiro, you haven't seen it yet! This is Changfeng, Mingyue's eldest brother. ”

After Li Qing'an looked at Pei Wan'er, his eyes fell on Dugu Changfeng, Dugu Changfeng was originally called Dugu Mingyuan, and later renamed Changfeng, this name is very distinctive, Feng is a man, Phoenix is a woman, Dugu Changfeng is also the meaning of Dugu Changfeng, but it is very subtle.

I saw that Dugu Changfeng was about thirty years old, with a long nose and thin eyes, a well-defined face, very temperamental, a little similar to Mingyue, like their mother, Li Qingan suddenly fell in love with his brother-in-law.

Dugu Changfeng has been an official for a long time, he is a sensible person, although Li Qingan is his brother-in-law, but this brother-in-law is not something he can put on a show and joke at will, and his uncle also talked to him yesterday last night, he may be transferred to the imperial court, Li Qingan's attitude is the key, that is to say, his brother-in-law will be a bright light in his career.

Without waiting for Li Qing'an to speak, Dugu Changfeng preemptively bowed his hand and said, "Changfeng see the general!" ”

Li Qingan hurriedly returned the salute and smiled: "This is not a court banquet, it is a family banquet, we don't want to be polite, it's all our own family, let's be casual." ”

His eyes fell on Dugu Changfeng's son again, and he smiled: "This is Xiao Zhi!" I heard Mingyue say that it is really a small talent. ”

The child is often the lubricant of the interaction between Chengren, and when it is a little embarrassing, pull the child and say a few words, and the embarrassment will disappear, for example, now is Li Qing'an is a brother-in-law, and it is reasonable to see the brother-in-law, but his status is very high, even if it is a family banquet, this ceremony is also very rare, and as the face of the mother-in-law, the performance is arrogant, the mother-in-law will be unhappy, and the other party will not be able to bear it, so the topic will be transferred to the child, and the embarrassment of etiquette will naturally be eliminated.

Dugu Changfeng hurriedly pulled his son over and said with a smile: "Quickly kowtow to uncle!" ”

His son's name is Dugu Zhi, who is very well-behaved and smart, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Xiaozhi kowtow to my uncle, I wish my uncle's official to become bigger and bigger, bigger than my grandfather's official." ”

The child's childlike words attracted laughter from all over the room, Li Qingxin liked it, he picked up the child, pricked his little face with his beard, and said with a smile: "The first time we meet, my uncle always wants to give you a meeting gift, say it!" What do you want your uncle to give you? ”

Dugu Haoran saw that Li Qing'an and his grandson had a tacit understanding, and he was also happy in his heart, and the trace of unhappiness just now had already been left behind, so he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Qilang, sit down!" Don't spoil your kids. ”

Dugu Zhi scratched the back of his head, thinking about what he wanted, he suddenly said loudly: "Uncle, I want to use a knife!" ”

"Good! There is a lot of interest. ”

Li Qingan hugged him and sat down, and said with a smile: "If you want a knife to find your uncle, you can be regarded as finding the right person, your uncle has nothing else, the knife is the most, if you like it, your uncle will give you a small bow and arrow." ”

Dugu Zhi clapped his hands happily, Mrs. Pei hugged her grandson over, and said with a smile: "Qilang, this little guy has liked swords since he was a child, and when he caught Zhou, he was surrounded by books and pen and ink inkstones, but he couldn't look at them either, and grabbed out the small wooden sword that his grandfather hid under the book. ”

Pei Min also smiled and said: "Xiaozhi's surname is like his great-grandfather, he likes martial arts but not literature, and he is estimated to be a general in the future." ”

Li Qingan patted the child's face and said with a smile: "Like my uncle, I will ride a horse and carry a knife in the future." ”

Li Qing'an's seat is deliberately arranged by Mrs. Pei, very particular, although he has a very high status, but in the family banquet, it is generally about seniority, not title, so the three elders sit in the middle against the wall, and at the two ends of the long table, one side sits Li Qing'an, and the other sits Dugu Changfeng, and the three girls sit in the middle outside, plus a wife of Changfeng, she sits by her husband, so Li Qing'an's left is Pei Min, on the right is Pei Wan'er, and next to Pei Wan'er is Mingzhu.

As soon as Li Qing'an sat down, Pei Min gave Wan'er a look and asked her to pour wine for Li Qing'an, Wan'er was a little shy, she was just about to get the wine jug, but Mingzhu didn't forget Li Qing'an's three glasses of fine wine, Hao stretched out his wrist, picked up the wine jug, and smiled at everyone: "My brother-in-law said just now, last time we delayed our autumn outing, we were going to be fined three glasses of wine, then I will be the wine order, let my brother-in-law punish three glasses before talking." ”

Mingzhu didn't have any city in her chest, and she didn't know that Pei Wan'er had promised Li Qing'an, but her mother, Mrs. Pei, knew it in her heart, seeing that her daughter had stolen Pei Wan'er's limelight, Pei Wan'er's hand stretched out and retracted, a little embarrassed, she was about to stop it, but Li Qing'an smiled and said: "Last time, I was wrong, I promised the three girls, but I broke my promise, so I should be fined three glasses of wine, and each girl should be fined one cup, which is considered a gift." ”

Mingzhu smiled and said: "The guest came first, you have to apologize for the first cup, but she has always been thinking about going on an autumn trip with her brother-in-law." ”

Pei Wan'er's face turned red, this pearl embarrassed her too much, Mingzhu filled Li Qingan's wine glass, Li Qingan picked up the wine glass and smiled at Pei Wan'er: "Last time, I made the girl wait for a long time, and Li Qingan confessed to the girl." ”

"You're welcome, General!" Pei Wan'er's face was swollen and red, and her voice was smaller than that of a mosquito.

"Here's the second cup!"

Mingzhu saw that Li Qing'an drank it all, so he poured him another glass of wine, and at this time, Pei Yu, who had been silent, waved his hand and said: "I don't need to, I was a little unwell that day, and I didn't want to go, and the general's not going to do it just fulfilled me." ”

"Where are you uncomfortable! You complained the most that day. ”

Mingzhu couldn't understand the subtlety of this, so she puffed up and said, "Then the second and third cups are all respectful to me!" Anyway, I'm a wicked person, so I'll ask for my surname to the end. ”

Mrs. Pei shook her head secretly, I am afraid that only her daughter does not know about this full table, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter in her heart, so she said softly: "Mingzhu, let my brother-in-law eat some food first!" Drinking on an empty stomach is easy to get drunk. ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "It's okay, I have promised Mingzhu to make amends to her, how can I break my promise again." ”

He asked Mingzhu to pour himself two glasses of wine in a row, and drank it in one go, and then smiled at Mingzhu: "This time, my brother-in-law didn't coax you!" ”

Mingzhu saw that Li Qing'an had given himself enough face, so he couldn't help but smile, and nodded: "Hmm! It's pretty much the same, you talk to them, and we little girls just drink and eat. ”

At this time, Dugu Haoran picked up the wine glass and got up and said with a smile: "Today is a family banquet, although Mingyue was not able to come, but she is already on the way, not far from the day of our family reunion, come!" For the day of reunion, we drank this cup. ”……
