Chapter 553: Qi Longchun returns to his hometown
Except for the three members of the Li family and a few members of the Xiao Qi family, the others followed over to eat, and Qi Shu's five children also went to play.
After Su Jin asked Lin Hong to greet the Li family in the hall, she entered the room and glanced at Qi Yunqing, who was sitting in front of the desk, not knowing what to think.
She pursed her lips, and then softly withdrew, and went to the kitchen to cook lunch, and got up early in the morning to be busy, and did not eat breakfast.
After a while, Qi Yunqing came in to help, sat on the stove and lit the fire without saying a word, Su Jin glanced at it a few times, and said warmly: "Yunqing, help me roll up my sleeves, it's down." ”
"Okay."
After Qi Yunqing put the tongs aside, he got up and walked over, bent down slightly to roll up his sleeves for her, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little warm.
Su Jin raised her head and kissed him, and gently coaxed: "Don't be unhappy, today is the day of my mother's wedding, if my mother knows that you are like this, it will definitely be even more uncomfortable." ”
Qi Yunqing and Li He have relied on each other for more than ten years, and they will be reluctant to give up.
Thinking of this, she stared at him with apricot eyes and changed the subject: "Do you want to eat braised fish?" Lady will do it for you today. ”
Looking at the woman who intended to coax him, Qi Yunqing bent down and hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and said sullenly: "Lady, you are not allowed to go anywhere in the future, just stay by my side." ”
"Lady, okay?"
Su Jinying smiled and agreed, "Okay, I won't go anywhere, just accompany my husband and teach my husband and children at home." ”
……
At this time, it was already night, Li family
After Li Shengping saw off the visitors, he closed the door, glanced at the lit room, and grinned.
Then he went to the kitchen for hot water, and after a while, put it in a basin, took it to the house, looked at Li He who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and shouted a little shyly, "He'er, I'm tired of sitting." ”
Li He's red hijab had been taken off at noon, and she looked at Li Shengping in red clothes a little nervously, "It's okay, Brother Li." ”
Li Shengping put the hot water on the table, picked his head, and stumbled a little, "The two of us are married, He'er calls me Shengping." After saying that, his face turned red.
Hearing this, Li He's face also turned red, and his neck turned red after a while, but he still shouted softly: "Shengping." ”
"He'er."
Li Shengping grinned, wet the handkerchief and wrung out some and handed it to her, seeing her yawn, "Wash your face, are you sleepy?" ”
"It's fine."
Li He stretched out his hand to take it and wiped her face, and after washing her face, seeing Li Shengping staring at her directly, her face turned even redder, and she bit her lip, "Don't look at me." ”
Li Shengping smiled at her again, a little silly, but it made Li He feel down-to-earth and relieved.
She got up and passed the handkerchief through the water, and then handed it to Li Shengping, and said a little unnaturally: "Shengping, you can also wipe it off, do you want to drink some ginger soup to sober up, I'll boil it." ”
Li Shengping hurriedly shook his head, a little anxious, "No need." As he spoke, he picked his head and said, "After sobering up, I was nervous." ”
The flush that had just faded climbed up his cheeks again.
Li He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed "poof", she was also very nervous, but suddenly she was not nervous, with a little bit of laughter, "Shengping, what is nervous, I don't eat people." ”
"No, that's not what I meant." Li Shengping waved his hand a little nervously, and then picked his head again, "Are you hungry, I'll go get food." ”
"No need, my mother-in-law brought me food just now." Li He said.
The two looked at each other, both partially.
Li Shengping held the water, "Then you go to sleep first, and I'll pour the water." ”
A quarter of an hour later, a candle was left in the room, Li Shengping went to bed, pulled a small piece of quilt to cover his body, and then froze and did not dare to move.
Each other could hear each other's breathing.
Li Shengping nervously pulled the quilt in the direction of Li He, and stumbled: "He...... He'er, have you covered it? ”
"Cover ...... Covered. Li He's voice also stumbled.
At this time, a hand hugged her, and suddenly her face was so red that she couldn't be more red, and her body was a little stiff.
Li Shengping moved a little closer, smelling the fragrance of the woman's body, his breathing was heavier, but he didn't move anymore, "He'er, I feel like a dream, I thought it would be impossible to marry you in this life." ”
He is a beggar who doesn't know his father, if it weren't for Li He's steamed bun, he might have died, or maybe he would still be begging everywhere, one day at a time.
He was very grateful to the white steamed bun, and even more grateful to the white and pure girl.
At first, he was simply grateful to her, but then he secretly looked at her every day, and he thought she looked good when she smiled, and he liked her to laugh.
Later, there was a handsome scholar beside her, so handsome that he felt inferior to him, and he didn't dare to appear in front of her.
On the day she got married, he cried at the entrance of the village, but he was still willing to protect her silently, and he was willing to do so for the rest of his life.
It's a good thing he's waited, he thought, and it's late, but it's not too late.
He married her.
Li He bit his lip and thanked him sincerely, "It's not a dream, Shengping, thank you all these years." ”
"Don't say thank you." Li Shengping's hands tightened a little, "He'er, I... I... Can I kiss you? ”
The room was quiet for a moment, and the woman let out a low "um".
……
The next day, the morning dynasty
When the court meeting was about to end, Qi Longchun suddenly came out of the queue and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”
Mu Feng glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, "Play." ”
Qi Longchun kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "The minister wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”
Suddenly, there was an "uproar" in the court, and when it came to Qi Longchun's position, I was afraid that no one would be willing to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown.
Mu Feng looked at him for a while, "Why?" ”
Qi Longchun helped him a lot, so he didn't plan to do anything to him.
Qi Longchun pursed his lips, "The minister returned to his hometown to atone for his sins." ”
He has been in the capital for more than ten years, and now looking back, he has nothing but cold power.
For the rest of his life, he will go to his father's grave to atone for his sins.
Mu Feng glanced at Qi Yunqing, "That's right, Prime Minister Qi Cheng has worked hard for Dayuan for more than ten years, and I will reward ten thousand taels of gold." ”
"Thank the emperor for his permission, and don't want to reward the ministers." Qi Longchun kowtowed again, "The minister handed over all the family properties of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the imperial court." ”
The imperial court suddenly made an "uproar".
Mu Feng has some sympathy for Qi Longchun, and the civil and military officials are afraid that no one is above board, and Qi Longchun can still see through it, proving that he actually has some heart.
"Yes, the silver taels donated by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Qi plans to use them all for the people of the south."
Qi Yunqing nodded, "Yes." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, a carriage was parked in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the middle-aged man wearing a cloth coat got into the carriage and left quickly.
It didn't take long for Li He to receive an unfamiliar congratulatory gift, which was a set of lotus-shaped jewelry.
