readx; As soon as Li Qing'an returned to the mansion in the evening, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was wrong, everyone saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, turned around and ran, and at this time, several of his wives should have gathered in the side hall to laugh and chat, waiting for him to come back and have dinner together, what a harmonious and happy scene, but now there is no one in the side hall, and even he can't smell the fragrance of the food. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He walked around the side hall, the side hall was deserted, the cold was pressing, Li Qingan had to walk out of the door, at this moment, he suddenly heard a 'click' sound behind the door, and when he turned around, he saw a little maid coming out from behind the door, ready to sneak away.

Li Qing'an's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the little girl's arm, "Don't run!" ”

"Master, I don't know anything, you let me go!"

"You must know, tell me the truth, what the hell happened?" Li Qingan said viciously.

The little maid was helpless, so she had to look at both sides and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady and the second lady quarreled today, it's terrible!" I heard that she also made a move, and the second lady's face was scratched. ”

Li Qingan was taken aback, did Mingyue and Wuyi quarrel? What's going on?

"Tell me, why?"

"I don't know why, I just know that they quarreled, and they quarreled very much."

Li Qing'an had a headache, what he was most afraid of finally happened, he knew that there was actually a contradiction hidden between Mingyue and Wuyi, Wuyi was always a little hesitant about his wife, she deliberately avoided it when she married Mingyue, and did not participate, and the reason for Wuyi's lingering was that she didn't want to share her husband with others, love is selfish, and Wuyi, who grew up in music, is more emotionally delicate and sensitive, and the misfortune of her life experience and her long-term living under other people's roofs make her surname high and arrogant.

Li Qingan can understand this, so he also has a trace of regret for Wuyi, and he loves her even more, but he needs Mingyue to support his back house, and he also loves Mingyue, but now, the contradiction between Wuyi and Mingyue has finally broken out, and Li Qingan wants to know very much what is the reason for this?

He thought about it, and then said to the little maid: "You go to the backyard quickly, tell the third lady, say that I am waiting for her in the outer study, and let her come over immediately." ”

The third lady is Rushi, and now Li Qingan wants to know the truth, so he can only learn from Rushi.

After a while, Rushi hurried to Li Qing'an's outer study, although Rushi ranked third in the family, but she was Li Qing'an's most trusted wife, he knew that if something happened to him one day in the future, only Rushi would die for him without hesitation, and it was because of his absolute trust in Rushi that Li Qing'an's most ** inner study was also handed over to Rushi to be responsible for cleaning and tidying.

But now that he was in the outer study, he didn't dare to enter the inner house until he understood the situation clearly.

As soon as Rushi entered the door, she smiled bitterly: "Does the eldest brother already know?" ”

"I only know that they quarreled, but why they quarreled and to what extent, you tell me!"

Rushi sighed, she poured Li Qingan a cup of hot tea first, and gave it to him with both hands, and then said helplessly: "Actually, it's for the jade slave?" ”

"Jade slave?" Li Qingan was stunned, he suddenly remembered that Mingyue told him this morning that Yunu wanted to be his concubine, he was a little tempted at that time, Yunu is very beautiful, this is undeniable, he wants to marry a beautiful woman in the world, this is also undeniable, is it because Yunu is making a concubine for himself, Mingyue and Wuyi have a disagreement?

Originally, he planned to quietly ask the dance clothes in bed tonight, but would Yu Nu give it to him? Unexpectedly, something happened before he asked, which made Li Qing'an feel weak for a while, and he hurriedly asked: "You make it clear, what is the matter with the jade slave?" ”

"Sister Wuyi found a family for Yunu, but she agreed without the consent of Sister Mingyue, Sister Mingyue was angry about this, so she asked Sister Wuyi to reason, and the two quarreled without speculation."

Rushi told Li Qing'an what Mingyue told her in the afternoon, and finally said: "Actually, Yunu is just an introduction, the fundamental reason is the status of Mingyue and Wuyi, whether Mingyue can take care of Wuyi." ”

Sure enough, this is the root, Li Qingan sighed for a while, of course he knew that Mingyue should be in charge of the dance clothes, but he quietly told the dance clothes in private, her affairs can be her own decision, in the relationship between the two of them, he has been playing with the mud and tai chi, and now the conflict finally broke out, but that Zhao joined the army and wanted to marry a jade slave, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Don't you know that the jade slave is the dowry maid in the dance costume? How can there be a marrying maid in the world? This made Li Qingxin feel a little annoyed again, as if the contradiction between Mingyue and Wuyi was not caused by himself, but caused by this damn Zhao joining the army.

"Big brother, how are you going to deal with this matter? I mean, who do you prefer? Rushi asked a little worriedly.

In terms of personal feelings, Rushi is biased towards Wuyi, after all, she has been with Wuyi for a long time, and Wuyi has a poor background, very similar to her, they are all orphans, and they have taught her to play the piano, but logically, she supports Mingyue, Mingyue is the main mother, and everything in the family should indeed be decided by her, so she believes that Li Qingan's attitude is the most important.

Li Qingan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, who can he favor? He loves both women, or rather, he can't afford to mess with both wives.

"How noisy are they? I heard the maid say that the face of the dance dress was scratched. ”

"Who's behind this?"

Rushi said angrily: "Big brother, do you think this is possible?" They are all people with status and cultivation, will they quarrel like mothers-in-law on the street? They are just a little louder and a little heavier, the three of them are tigers, don't forget the big brother. ”

"Hmmm! Three people become tigers, this word is used well, such as poetry, you are very progressive! ”

Rushi heard her husband's praise, and her heart was full of joy, and the shadow of the quarrel between the two ladies suppressed her joy in a blink of an eye, and she said worriedly: "Big brother, what do you think of this?" ”

Li Qing'an's head was as big as a fight, he glanced at Rushi, then hugged her over and said with a smile: "Rushi, I will leave this matter to you to deal with." ”

"Leave it to me!" Rushi was startled, and hurriedly pushed Li Qingan away and said, "No! No! How can I manage their affairs, especially the eldest lady, who is in charge of her affairs, and I will be kicked out of the house. ”

"Where do you want to go, you are all my wives, how can there be any reason to drive your wife out of the house?"

Li Qingan hurriedly comforted her a few words, and explained with a smile: "Actually, it's not for you to take care of them, I'm not good at coming forward, you can persuade them more, let them dissipate their anger first, you can persuade them, saying that I have a lot of work and a lot of pressure, please try to be as tolerant as possible, anyway, that's what it means, you can think about it yourself!" ”

Rushi nodded silently, and at this time, the voice of the dancer suddenly came from outside the door, "Li Lang, can I come in?" ”

Rushi was startled, turned around and wanted to go through the back door, but Li Qingan grabbed her and pointed to the back room, Rushi understood, she opened the back door first, and then flashed into the back room, Li Qingan saw that she was as careful as a hair, and couldn't help nodding secretly in admiration.

"Come in!"

The door opened, the dance dress walked into the study, she cried for a whole afternoon, mourning her misfortune, and then she gradually regained her calm, and also regained her senses, she also realized that she was in the weakness of etiquette in the dispute with Mingyue, but she refused to bow to Mingyue, she also knew very well that once she bowed her head, she would completely lose her autonomy in the future, she was unwilling to get that result, her only reliance now was her husband Li Qingan, she hoped to get a little comfort from Li Qingan.

Li Qingan looked at Wuyi's face carefully, although there was no trace of scratching, but his eyes were red, obviously crying, Wuyi saw her husband, she couldn't help but feel extremely aggrieved, her eyes were red, she turned her head again, covered her mouth and sobbed, Li Qing'an felt heartache, and hurriedly took her into his arms and comforted: "It's all my own family, it's normal to be noisy, it's not a big deal, don't be so sad." ”

He took the hand of the dance dress and sat down, and said with a smile: "I already know the situation, I don't think it's a big deal, as long as you can understand each other, everyone can give a step, and the matter can be solved, such as the matter of Yunu, emotionally, she and you are like sisters, and her marriage should be considered by you, but Mingyue is the main mother after all, you have to take into account her face, especially in the external aspect, if she doesn't care at all, then what do others think of her, how will she manage others in the future, she also has difficulties, So you talk to her, give her face, and then I ask her to respect your decision, so you don't quarrel like this. ”

Wuyi lowered her head, her husband's earnest advice was reasonable, in fact, she also knew that she was a little bit of a faceless to Mingyue, although she knew this in her heart, but women are emotional animals after all, and she is less sensible, and she is also afraid that Mingyue is using the matter of the jade slave as a breakthrough, once she gives in, she will be passive in the future.

Although she can not give Mingyue's face, but she can't give her husband's face, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up: "You can be the master of Yunu's marriage, only you can take care of my business, I will listen to what you say, but I will not be instructed by her to anyone except you, Li Lang, you also know, I have been in my uncle's mansion for so many years, when did I bow my head?" If I bowed my head, I would have been succeeded by those who were not right-hearted, and I would not be your wife today, this is my bottom line, you have to be considerate of me. ”

Li Qing'an understood that Wuyi was actually giving in, what she meant was that if Mingyue had a request that could be conveyed by herself, she would accept it, but she couldn't accept Mingyue's direct instructions to her, Li Qing'an sighed for a while, he knew that Wuyi's surname was extremely stubborn and liked to drill the tip of the horns, and these were the concessions she could make, this matter really couldn't be rushed, she had to persuade her slowly, thinking of this, he said: "That's it!" You go back to Zhao Join's marriage proposal first, I don't like him very much, Wang Changling also told me that this person is famous for drilling camps and shooting horses, and he is not worthy of being entrusted by Yunu for life. ”

Wuyi understood what Li Qing'an meant, Yunu's marriage should be dealt with coldly first, and then the conflict should not be intensified, in fact, after Mingyue said it, she also felt that she was in a hurry, and she decided in a hurry before she understood the situation of the Zhao family, it was really inappropriate, she originally wanted to delay it, but Li Qing'an's attitude was very clear, and she wanted her to return to this marriage, she had to nod and said, "I listen to you, I will return to this marriage tomorrow." ”

At this time, Mingyue's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Husband, can I disturb you?" ”

Li Qingan was startled, and hurriedly pointed to the side door of Wuyi, meaning to let her avoid, but Wuyi sat there motionless, there was no intention of avoiding at all, Li Qingan was helpless, it seemed that he could only mediate in person, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Come in!" ”

Mingyue pushed the door and walked in, with a smile on her face, she had just heard the maid's report, the master came back, she hurried over, but she saw the dance clothes at a glance, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she snorted coldly in her heart, "The wicked sue first!" ’

She also walked in, sat down on the other side of Li Qing'an, and said with a smile: "Husband hasn't had dinner yet!" I've told the kitchen to prepare, just wait a while. ”

"Huh! I'm not hungry yet. ”

"No matter how hungry you are, you have to eat, so be it! I asked them to put their food in the west courtyard, and why don't they live where they want to live today? ”

Speaking of this, Mingyue glanced at Wuyi, and her implication was to tell Li Qingan that although she quarreled with Wuyi, she would not break the principle because of this, what should be or what.

As far as Wuyi is concerned, although she has given in, agreed to reject the Zhao family's marriage proposal, and is willing to accept Mingyue's arrangement through Li Qing'an, but a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, she can say anything in front of Li Qing'an, and she is willing to give in, but when she and Mingyue face it, all her concessions are immediately thrown out of the clouds, she pouted and said: "Pretend, pretend!" ”

Mingyue's face swelled red, the fire in her heart was ignited again, she stood up suddenly, glared at the dance clothes and said: "You made it clear to me, where am I pretending to be, have you regarded my tolerance and kindness as donkey liver and lungs?" ”

Mai also stood up and retorted without concessions, "Am I wrong?" Li Lang was going to go to me tonight, but if you say this to me, does he dare to go? When you say this, you are clearly reminding him not to come to me tonight. ”

Mingyue was so angry that she trembled, "Okay! Good! What an unreasonable woman, I have seen it today. ”

"Humph! You don't have to worry about who I am, I am a person with a straight surname, and I can say whatever I want, unlike some people, who put honey on their lips, but what they think in their hearts is another thing. ”

"That's it!"

Li Qingan shouted in a low voice and said angrily: "Don't quarrel with you." ”

When the two women saw that their husbands were angry, they both sat down together, turned their backs to each other, and neither of them spoke.

Li Qingan couldn't say a word, what did he say, there is no one right or wrong in this kind of thing, it seems that Wuyi's fault is not, in fact, Li Qing'an still retains some thoughts of later generations more or less, he doesn't want Wuyi to lose himself, and he also hopes that Wuyi can keep his surname and freedom, but Mingyue is not wrong, according to the etiquette system, Mingyue has the right to manage all the affairs of the family, and can even drive Wuyi out of the house, but she didn't do this, it can only show her tolerance and generosity, Li Qingan looked at Mingyue, Looking at the dance clothes again, he was in a dilemma, at this time he could not take sides, this was not the time to reason at all.

Li Qingan suddenly felt tired, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first!" I'm going to take care of some business. ”

This sentence is more useful than anything else, and the two women know that family affairs cannot be neglected, so they stand up together, and at the same time walk towards the door, and in a hurry, the two of them bump their shoulders, and they look at each other angrily, and the dancers turn and go through the side door.

The room was quiet again, Li Qing'an lay weakly on the rattan chair, at this moment, he felt that the contradiction between the two wives was even more difficult to solve than the big food, at this time, Rushi came out of the back room, gently stroked Li Qing'an's hair, Li Qing'an held her hand, hugged her into his arms, Rushi did not persuade him, lying on him like a cat, after a while, Rushi whispered: "Big brother, stay with me tonight!" ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not appropriate to live there with you, and it's not easy for me to explain where I dance, so I'll go to the political hall tonight for one night!" Stay at home, and don't know how they will torture me tonight. ”

Rushi nodded, she could understand, so she smiled and said, "Then let's leave after eating." ”

"Good! You bring the food here, and I'll eat and leave. ”

Li Qing'an had a hurried dinner in the outer study, and then returned to the political affairs hall, where he had a bedroom.

．．．．．．．． The government hall covers a wide area, composed of more than 30 buildings, and Chang'an, the day is not bright, the officials come to work, you can go home in the afternoon, at this time, the sky has been dark, the government hall is quiet, occasionally a few windows are still lit, that is busy and overtime officials, a team of heavily armed soldiers are patrolling security, Li Qing'an's office is located in the east of the government hall, instead of the center, is a building covering an area of five acres, the building is not big, only 20 rooms, is the place where he and his staff and clerks work, There is also a rest room for the soldiers, surrounded by a wall, which surrounds this building, like other buildings, the building is built on a foundation about one zhang high, the foundation is made of flat boulders, tightly seamless, including the building itself is also made of boulders, which is inconspicuous from the outside, but it is unusually strong, and there is a basement under the building, where some important items are placed.

The civil officials have all gone home from work, only Li Qing'an's room is still lit in the government affairs room, Li Qing'an's office is composed of four rooms, the outside is where several clerks sort out the documents, and the inside is a row of three rooms in Unicom, in the middle is his office room, on the left is the war room, where a huge sand table is placed, which accommodates the entire Anxi, and on the right is a hut with beds and bedding and the like, which is his temporary resting place.

At this moment, Li Qingan sat behind the table, lying on his back on a wide chair, he was thinking about a way to solve the contradiction between Wuyi and Mingyue, but after thinking about it, in addition to using time to cool down and dilute the contradiction between them, he couldn't think of a better way, of course, he could find something for them to do, so that they don't think about those trivial things at home all day long, but this is still a symptom but not a cure, in fact, Li Qingan also thought of the best way, that is, children, let them have children, their relationship will be much more harmonious, it seems, I have to find a famous doctor to see a doctor and solve my fertility problem, he didn't pay attention to it before, but now the problem of heirs is becoming more and more imminent.

Li Qingan was thinking wildly, when a noise suddenly came from outside the door, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

A pro-soldier probe looked at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "It seems that the princess of Byzantium has come." ”
