Li Jicai was silent for a long time......

Qi Qingchu failed to come down the mountain in time because the wind and snow on the mountain were too big, and it was not until later that the people of Qi Mansion went up the mountain to urge, and Qi Qingchu took advantage of the fact that the wind and snow were a little lighter, and he came down from the mountain.

The time spent with their teacher was incomparably good, the two talked about poetry and songs, drank wine, ate tea, enjoyed flowers and scenery, talked about scriptures, and were so happy.

From the table master, Qi Qingchu also learned a lot of things and understood more truths. I am very grateful for teaching and solving doubts.

The environment on this Wusong Mountain, although not as famous as those famous mountains and rivers, but also has its own beauty.

Taishi's favorite thing to do is to take Qi Qingchu to watch the strange pines and strange rocks on this mountain.

It's hard to imagine that the rocks could be stacked on top of each other, jutting out of all sorts of different shapes, and in some places there were caves that could be walked through.

Needless to say, the pine trees that survive in the cracks are extremely strong and strong, giving people a high-spirited temperament.

Plum blossoms are planted inside and outside the Taoist temple, the rhyme of pine and plum, proud of the cold and snow, Qi Qingchu is particularly satisfied to enjoy these days, and the taste of plum snow boiled wine is endless.

In addition, the clouds and mist here are spawned by wind and snow. It's like being in a fairyland, and you forget yourself.

It's no wonder that Master Zhuo likes to stay here very much, and Qi Qingchu himself is also very nostalgic.

When the two were separated, they said that when they came over next time, it would be spring in full bloom, and the beautiful days of the wind and the sun were enjoying the beautiful scenery of other seasons.

Good mountains, good water, good scenery, Qi Qingchu, who returned to the capital in his heart, was very happy.

In the face of the urging of the people in the family, as well as the foreseeable busy official business, I don't care very much.

It's just that when he returned home and his butt was still steady, when he learned the news of Li Jicai, he suddenly felt like the top of the mountain falling to the bottom of the mountain, and it was difficult to be happy.

It's only been a few days, and how many days has he been gone?

Jiang Xihu took advantage of his absence to quietly send Li Jicai back to the original small courtyard, and even at night, he secretly entered Li Jicai's room, and the two of them did something unspeakable.

When did the relationship between these two people become so close? Why didn't he know anything about it?

Qi Qingchu sent someone to guard Li Jicai, but he hid his whereabouts, he could only watch from a distance, and he couldn't interfere with her life, and he could only make a decision about what happened after Qi Qingchu came back.

But I didn't expect that my son-in-law would go for several days as soon as he went, and the heavy snow blocked the mountain, so he couldn't get out for a while. So there was a delay.

The subordinates were also a little uneasy when they reported, because they had already tacitly regarded Li Jicai as a housewife.

The whole Qi Mansion is very happy about Qi Qingchu's return, and after the New Year, the whole family should be reunited and get together, always staying in the mountains, like what words?

It's just that because Qi Qingchu went to find his teacher, and he hadn't seen each other for a long time, he also talked about the past in name, and he was even more morally blameless.

It's good to come back, it's better to come back.

People are more or less at ease under their noses.

Recently, the capital has been quite unpeaceful, and many people always complain that there is something missing in their own homes, and the minions are gone, and there are undercurrents surging under the calm.

This is still the case among the people, let alone in the court

Qi Qingchu is no longer in charge of commercial tax matters, so many things are handed over to the officials below.

Emperor Gao De didn't know what to think, so he scattered a lot of fat to the ministers of the court to deal with the matter. Of course, those ministers were "carefully selected" by him.

It's been a disaster for a while, and there are all complaints from top to bottom.

Some people even bluntly admonished Emperor Gao De that he should not appoint this person, and that he should not appoint that person should be handed over to Qi Qingchu in the final analysis.

However, it was often refuted by the corresponding ministers, and then provoked a miasma in the court, and Emperor Gao De threw his sleeves away in a negative mood.

No one knows what to do.

Qi Qing took a lot of leave at the beginning, and he really ignored the official affairs that he couldn't let go of in the past, and when others came to his house to find him, he didn't ignore them, so he picked them up cleanly.

Of course, this is also what Emperor Gao Dedi wants to see.

Since becoming an official, Qi Qingchu knows the truth that a companion is like a tiger, and he never speculates about Emperor Gao Dedi's thoughts, but just follows his instructions in accordance with the rules.

Whether it's right or wrong.

If you ignore political affairs, it is naturally a private matter.

However, Qi Qingchu in private has always been clean, and there have been no bad rumors, and it is difficult for some people to participate even if they want to join him.

Especially in the treatment of Li Jicai, Qi Qingchu acted more carefully.

But I didn't expect him to be so low-key at the same time, someone would be so high-profile.

Qi Qingchu felt extremely depressed when he heard how Jiang Xihu had quietly entered Li Jicai's room in the middle of the night for many consecutive nights.

Wouldn't Li Jicai avoid him and push him out of the room? Or are the two of them already ......

Unwilling to be like this, Qi Qingchu felt that he was not a jealous person, but he always thought that Li Jicai should not be involved in Jiang Xihu's affairs.

I don't know when it began, Jiang Xihu's mind was already like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

The crown prince became his primary enemy, but there were people behind the prince who could not be shaken.

Some people are suitable for getting along, but some people are suitable for staying away, but unfortunately, Li Jicai can't understand this truth.

From his mentor, Qi Qingchu learned how to face his heart.

He knew that, in his intellectual opinion, he should not have treated a commoner woman with such concern, so concern, so concern.

But in his selfish heart, Li Jicai is an existence that he can't give up.

I knew her from the beginning, and she also had stars in her eyes, and she deliberately flattered him, not because she didn't see it in her eyes, but she regarded herself as an identity and didn't care much. After eating the food she cooked, I felt that it was very delicious and I couldn't find fault with it. After seeing her tears, I hesitated, unwilling to have the same experience happen again. So much so that when she hated him, Qi Qingchu suddenly realized that she had actually been entangled for so long, and the answer was very simple, but it was because she had left traces in her heart and couldn't erase them.

Some people just can't say what's good, what's bad, what's bad, where there's something worth hugging, but, but they can't give it up.

The idea of marrying Li Jicai is not a day or two.

But he has never made up his mind to put it into action, Qi Qingchu knows that he is very hesitant, especially when it comes to the private affairs of his children that he does not understand and do not understand.

But when Li Jicai walked away from him step by step, he felt that he reached out to her.

He wanted her to take his surname in the name of Yue.

Maybe there was some misunderstanding among them, but Qi Qingchu felt that with his efforts, they could return to the old days.

The original relationship, perhaps not the original one, did not have any special relationship, but there can be further relationships.

Qi Qingchu felt a little clumsy, but it was inevitable for the first time.

If this matter is spread out, it is estimated that many people will not believe that he would like a civilian woman.

After all, there are many beautiful women in the world, and there are even more beautiful women in the capital, and there are not a few people who can be worthy of the lintel of his Qi Mansion.

He is a person begged by hundreds of women and men, how can he fall in love with this little flower on the side of the road that is low in the dust.

Maybe it's just because Li Jicai just happened to break into his life, and then turn the world upside down.

Because after all, some people are really so coincidental and just right.

For Qi Qingchu, liking is a long-term thing, he is inexplicably filled in his heart, filled in his mind, he only occasionally, a flash of inspiration may appear.

Maybe it never happened, because there had never been such an experience, so when it happened so quietly, Qi Qingchu was at a loss.

After being overwhelmed, I had the idea of pursuing and the desire to find the answer.

But the process was extremely long, but fortunately, in the end, under so many wandering nights, under so many tangled and indecisive decisions.

It's still out of the blue.

Finally, I finally got a recognized woman. Right now, she has an unusual relationship with another man.

Is it said that if you don't get it, you will lose it?

Qi Qingchu didn't like this, and he didn't allow it.

Qi Qingchu, who has never experienced the love between men and women, naturally wants to take some kind of action when he encounters a threat.

Of course, this action is related to his daily life.

First of all, it is necessary to cut off the connection between Li Jicai and Jiang Xihu.

Li Jicai will be able to take office next year, and he is not in a hurry now, so only Jiang Xihu can be arranged.

So how to arrange Jiang Xihu?

Jiang Xihu desperately wants to have a foothold in the court, but at the moment he has no opportunity to make a contribution, and there are not so many opportunities to give him.

And it just so happened that Qi Qingchu had a lot of things in his hands, which were originally prepared to promote those talents he fancied, and since he needed it now, he could take it out and use it in advance.

At least Jiang Xihu will go after it.

Playing with power is not a daily habit for Qi Qingchu, but sometimes it is just an extraordinary means in extraordinary times.

And he has always been loyal to serve the country as his own responsibility, and has never had any other superfluous ideas, since he is extremely political, and no one has ever suspected him of selfishness.

It's just that the hero can't escape the beauty pass, and Qi Qingchu still has changed in the end.

A few days after Qi Qingchu came back, with the quiet efforts, it was almost the end of the year, and it was almost time for every family to rest, but Jiang Xihu suddenly became busy.

These are all arranged in advance.

Only by opening up Jiang Xihu and arranging it out, can Qi Qingchu have the opportunity to get close to Li Jicai.

Before going up the mountain, Qi Qingchu was also very concerned about letting others know his thoughts about Li Jicai and the relationship between them.

But after going up the mountain, Qi Qingchu didn't mind letting others know that he had intimate contact with the newly promoted small farmer official Li Jicai.

Emperor Gao De already knew something about this matter, so Qi Qingchu was not worried that he would suspect her, but would feel relieved because he "made the best use of it".

After all, according to the latest trends, the Yan State is about to send people to the Chu State to make a social gift, and by the way, take a visit to the country to see how the Chu State has become more and more prosperous in recent years.

It's true, but who knows what's going on in private?

Anyone who knows the inside story will wonder if it has something to do with the new emperor of Yan State?

After all, the new emperor of the Yan Kingdom has a thin skin relationship with them, the newly promoted small peasant official.

They know that the new emperor of Yan Kingdom is very affectionate. In addition, Li Jicai does have her unique usefulness, so a firm grasp can also achieve a win-win situation, isn't it?

If Emperor Gao De thought as Qi Qingchu imagined, he would not interfere in this matter, but would encourage him to do such a thing.

And the truth is indeed as Qi Qingchu thought.

The Gaode Empire is busy, and there is not so much energy to share with them, and the habit of taking the overall situation has made him not care about those details, but only consider the purpose of his actions.

Qi Qingchu was naturally happy to relax a lot.

Maybe the only thing he has to think about is how to deal with this difficult Li Jicai, to make her obediently attached to himself, obedient to himself, and then obey himself, and stay with him willingly.

Qi Qingchu, who doesn't understand the private feelings of his children, naturally feels that if he likes someone, he must be chaining that person to his side.

His personality has always been cold and gentle, he easily doesn't take anyone seriously, and he never cares about too many things and too many people. No one could get into his eyes.

Therefore, since he has made his mind clear, there is no need not to implement the means, of course, in Qi Qingchu's heart, Li Jicai should be by his side.

That's right.

Qi Qingchu doesn't feel that he is a domineering person, and when he is doing all this, he will try his best to respect Li Jicai's ideas, but if Li Jicai resists him, Qi Qingchu feels that sometimes it is more appropriate to be a little tougher.

For example, now Li Jicai is an unmarried woman in Yunying, but she has a close relationship with a man, and it is a private meeting at night.

Qi Qingchu felt that the most important thing at the moment was to warn Li Jicai to keep herself clean and not to do those things that ruined her reputation, so as not to bear those unnecessary public opinion turmoil and make her feel bored when he wanted to marry her later.
