After the bidding was completed, Dingzhou Tongzhi Lu Yiming's mouth has been smiling, a hundred crossbows were sold for nearly 80,000 taels of silver, this amount he did not expect at all, and a bow, although cheap, but the buyer has a large order, at the end of the day, bits and pieces add up, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into the account, this is just the beginning, Dingzhou sold things, follow-up services are also charged, next year can sell a hundred rounds of crossbows, and previously sold if the buyer uses it diligently, Then you can also change the core components, which is also white silver. Have a Midas touch! Lu Yiming's heart blossomed, with this silver, Dingzhou could live a very nourishing year, and he no longer had to hide from those officials who came to ask for money like a plague god.

I'm rich! The next day, he straightened his chest and walked into his official hall with his hands behind his back, and the officials who had already known the wind had already flocked to him, with smiles on their faces, looking at him as if they were looking at a peerless beauty. There are two words in their eyes, give money!

When Lu Yiming was full of ambition and was full of ambition to meet the money requirements of various departments one by one, Li Qing took Tang Hu and a few personal guards, quietly slipped out of the corner gate, and ran towards the outskirts of Dingzhou. There, Li Qing had a manor called Peach Blossom Xiaozhu, where Ji Yue lived now, except for Tang Hu and a few other guards who participated in the action, no one knew where Ji Yue, who disappeared from Chongxian, stayed. Qingfeng wanted to know, but the spies of the Statistical Survey Division didn't have the courage to follow the big handsome. If it is discovered by the big handsome, the head will definitely not be protected.

As the name suggests, the peach blossom building is naturally full of peach trees, and if spring comes in March, the peach blossoms all over the mountains are enough to make everyone admire, but now, there is nothing but ice cubes hanging upside down on the bare tree poles and branches.

Li Qing and his entourage quietly entered the manor, and there were more than a dozen guards stationed here, and when they saw the big marshal coming, they were all busy to greet them.

Throwing the horsewhip to the guards, Li Qing turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Where is Miss Jiyue?" ”

One of the guards smiled and said, "Big handsome, Miss Ji Yue is building a snowman in the backyard!" There are maids and women to serve, and they won't freeze the young lady. ”

Li Qing glared at him with a smile, and walked to the backyard, except for Tang Hu, the rest of the guards stayed outside, anyway, there are some secret sentinels scattered around this garden, but there is no safety problem.

Walking to the Moon Gate and faintly hearing the singing inside, Tang Hu stopped, leaned on the outside side of the Moon Gate, and let Li Qing enter the back garden alone.

"Picking and curling ears, not full baskets. I am pregnant with people, and I will go around the other. Cuiwei, I'm a horse. I will take care of the gold, and I will not cherish it forever. Zhibi Gaogang, I Ma Xuanhuang. I will take care of them, and I will not be hurt forever. I am stubborn, I am stubborn, I am a servant, and the clouds are calling. ”

Li Qing stood in front of the door with a smile, looking at the girl in a fox fur and white fur happily building a snowman while chanting softly. Seeing that the snowman had gradually taken shape, a mother-in-law suddenly looked up and saw a man standing in front of the moon gate with a smile, but he didn't know him, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, they were all found by Tang Hu from Fuyuan through Yang Yidao, Li Qingshang was the first time to come, and they didn't recognize it.

Ji Yue raised her head suddenly, and suddenly saw Li Qing, first a flurry, and then ran excitedly, stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to send a newspaper to Li Qing, watching her jump and jump, Li Qing was worried about her, "Slow down, slow down, be careful of falling!" ”

Running two or three steps in front of Li Qing, Ji Yue stopped suddenly, as if she remembered something, her little face turned crimson, and she withdrew her hand with a bang, "Big brother, you're here!" ”

A few maids-in-law only then knew that the man in front of them was Li Qing and Li Dashuai, whom the young lady often chattered, and they all knelt down in front of Li Qing at once, "I've seen Dashuai!" ”

"Get up, all of you!" Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, and walked in front of Ji Yue, "Are you still used to living?" ”

"I'm used to living here, it's nice here!" She replied cautiously. "It's just, it's just that there's no one to talk to!"

walked to Li Qing's side, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm to untie the cloak for Li Qing, Li Qing smiled slightly, squatted down slightly, and let Ji Yue untie the cloak for her, and reached out to hold Ji Yue's little hand, cold and cold. "Well, I just know that you must be a little lonely here, so I came here today to talk to you. Happy, right? ”

"Hmm!" Holding Li Qing's hand, Ji Yue's body stiffened steeply, a tremor rose from the depths of her heart, and she was dizzy in her head, barely keeping up with Li Qing's steps. At that time in Chongxian, when Tang Hu told her that Dashuai was going to take her to Dingzhou and give him a garden to live in, she left with Tang Hu without hesitation without thinking about it. I've been here for many days, and I've been looking forward to Li Qing coming to talk to her and listen to her sing, but when this day really came, she felt unreal like a dream. Secretly pinched herself, her eyes narrowed in pain, and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound, confirming that this was indeed not a dream, and she could barely control herself when she was happy.

How could the little girl's little actions be concealed from Li Qing, he shook his head slightly, took the cold little hands, walked to the octagonal pavilion in the garden, and blamed: "Ji Yue, look at you, your hands are cold, be careful of colds, if you are sick, it will be terrible." It's not impossible to play outside, but you have to be careful of your body and bones, your body is already weak, and being immersed in this cold wind is not fun. Ji Yue's heart was like honey, her little hand was held in Li Qing's thick palm, she only felt warm, and she couldn't wait to walk to the pavilion This part of the road will never be finished, in this way, Li Qing will not let go.

"I know big brother, I must be careful in the future, just come out to play for a while!" She replied quietly.

Li Qingjia laughed, only played for a while, Ji Yue is really a child's surname, while talking, has walked into the pavilion, a few mothers-in-law and girls have already quickly covered the pavilion with white veil, leaving only the leeward side, so that you can block the wind and snow a little, and you may as well enjoy the scenery, a pot of charcoal fire that is burning is in the pavilion, not long, the pavilion has some warmth.

Letting go of Ji Yue's little hand, Li Qing sat on the stone bench covered with a mat, and Ji Yue asked, "Big brother, do you drink tea or drink?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "The wine has been a little hurt in the past few days, so let's drink tea, and then talk about your young age, what kind of wine do you drink, listen to your sister, your tea cooking skills are very good, let me appreciate it." ”

Hearing Li Qing mention her sister, Ji Yue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and said, "Big brother, I'm about to be eighteen, not a child." ”

Li Qing laughed, "Yes, it's almost eighteen, it's indeed a big girl, well, your birth is the beginning of spring, right, when your brother-in-law comes to celebrate your birthday, okay?" ”

"Okay!" Ji Yue smiled, "You can't lie to me, you must come, I will remember what you said!" "As he spoke, he changed the eldest brother to you.

Not long after, Yahuan has already brought the small stove and a complete set of tea sets, lightly placed on the stone table, bowed out, Ji Yue put a neatly cut wood on the charcoal fire and ignited, and then put it straight in the small stove, and when the fire is burning, then put the small copper kettle filled with water on the fire, and said with a smile: "Since the snow, every day I have collected some snow on the leaves to turn into water, just to wait for the eldest brother to come over and cook tea for you!" ”

Li Qing's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't take his eyes off Ji Yue to make tea in an orderly manner, but Ji Yue was a little embarrassed by his staring, her face was slightly red, and she suddenly became a little in a hurry, and knocked down a purple sand cup on the table and rolled into a ball.

With a red face, he put the teacup away, twisted some tea leaves from the small crockpot, put them in the teapot, waited for the water to boil, lifted it down and cooled the boiling water a little, and then poured the water into the pot. Hold the teapot in your hand and shake it slowly, and after a while, a fresh fragrance spreads through the pavilion.

Taking the fragrant tea handed over by Ji Yue, Li Qing took a sip gently, looked at Ji Yue looking at himself with a blank look, and couldn't help laughing: "Ji Yue's methods are really worthy of their reputation, compared to Huzi's tea, it is simply incomparable." That guy, no matter how good or bad the tea is, it's a big cup of thick anyway, sometimes, the tea is almost more than water, and the storage makes people drink it and invigorate themselves. ”

Ji Yue smiled and said angrily: "Big brother, you actually compare Ji Yue with Big Brother Tiger, Big Brother Tiger is ...... Hee-hee..."

Li Qing glanced back at Tang Hu on the other side of the Moon Gate, remembered Tang Hu's fierce face, and then looked at Ji Yue with a smiling face like a flower in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh, the contrast was really too great.

The two of them were sipping tea, talking some gossip, unconsciously, an hour had passed, but it was snowing again, looking at the snowman outside the pavilion that Jiyue had completed most of the time, Li Qing suddenly became childlike, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Jiyue, big brother will accompany you to finish building that snowman!" ”

"Okay!" Ji Yue clapped her hands and cheered, the two walked out of the pavilion, Li Qing took a shovel to shovel the snow, Ji Yue was like a cheerful deer, running around happily, a snowman gradually took shape, at this time, several maids and women had quietly retreated, and only Li Qing and Ji Yue were left in the whole courtyard.

Looking at Ji Yue's happy figure and listening to her silver bell-like laughter, Li Qing suddenly felt an incomparable sense of ease, as if the responsibility and pressure that he had always felt all the time disappeared without a trace at this moment, and this kind of relaxation, in other places, Li Qing had never experienced it.
