On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Li family was drunk.

Even Cui Jie, who has never drunk alcohol, quietly picked up Li Qinzai's wine cup and took a few sips, and was discovered by Li Qinzai, Cui Jie's cheeks were red, and she spit out her tongue embarrassedly.

Buckwheat is obviously crazy, the more people there are, the more excited they are, jumping up and down at the reunion banquet, getting carried away, and finally jumping on the low table and dancing.

Li Qinzai finally couldn't help it, why don't you beat the child during the New Year, heh, Li Siwen still wants to beat him when he plays mahjong.

Li Siwen wants to beat his son, why can't Li Qinzai beat his son?

One family, one fate.

After slapping her ass a few times, Buckwheat suddenly became well-behaved, sat at the table respectfully, ate and drank honestly, and was thoughtful in courtesy, more perfect than a decent gentleman.

That's right, the tree is not repaired, it is not straight, people are not beaten, and they are chirped.

After the reunion banquet, Li Tao took advantage of the wine to shout at his family to play mahjong, and the old man seemed to have signs of addiction to this thing.

But Li Tao very resolutely rejected Li Qinzai's participation, and bluntly said that the old man did not play cards with people who paid off his debts, and he could not afford to lose people.

Li Qinzai led his wife and children back to his small courtyard in a gloomy manner.

It was getting late, and after Buck'er fell asleep in Mihuhu, and after placing him in his own room, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie returned to the main wing.

In the dim candlelight, the couple looked at each other and smiled.

"The husband is not enjoying the wine, and the concubine will accompany you for a drink?" Cui Jie chuckled.

Bringing wine from the frost, Cui Jie poured each other full, then picked up the cup, and said solemnly: "My husband has worked hard this year, for the country and for the family, for his wife and children for his father, my husband sacrificed his life to righteousness, and moved the heavens, God gave us such a good blessing, thank you husband." ”

Li Qinzai held the cup for a long time and said: "Mrs. is a tutor for her children, with hard work, I am running around for my husband, Mrs. is tired and tired, and there is no one to talk to, and I have wronged Mrs. this year." ”

Cui Jie's eyes were red, and she said with a smile: "Everyone has their own hardships, and it is a blessing for a concubine to be able to marry a hero like her husband, I hope that your heart is like my heart......"

The couple clinked glasses lightly and drank it all.

Li Qinzai's heart suddenly swelled with all kinds of pride.

The man is a strange creature, as long as the mother-in-law whispers a word of hard work and a word of distress in her ear, the man will suddenly forget about the great grievances he suffers outside, and he will continue to toss himself to death tomorrow, just to earn more family business for his wife and children.

Whether it is power or money, when they are added to their wives and children, men feel that their efforts are worth it.

On the outside, no matter how big a person others think of him, he feels that it doesn't matter.

But as long as the mother-in-law said that he was the backbone of the family, and the shade that could shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain, a burst of pride and satisfaction suddenly swelled up.

This is probably the motivation that marriage brings to men.

Drink and whisper, the night is long.

Chinese New Year's Eve is to celebrate the New Year, and the couple passes the time by drinking.

Li Qinzai talked about what he saw and heard when he was sent to the northwest, the life and death catastrophes he experienced, and the purple slave who was urged by Cui Jie and had to mention.

This night, the couple talked a lot, and in the end they were deeply drunk, and they didn't remember whether they stayed until dawn, so Li Qinzai and Cui Jie hugged each other and fell asleep.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, it was as warm as if spring had arrived early.

…………

Getting up with a hangover, Li Qinzai knocked his head hard.

It was painful, and it seemed like a gang of robbers had broken into my head, and they were slamming on the door.

On the first day of the new year, Li Qinzai decided to do nothing, concentrate on playing a salted fish, and lay on the bed all day.

As soon as I made up my mind, the housekeeper came to report that a guest was visiting.

There are many guests, all of whom are acquaintances, and they are three generations of old, middle-aged and young people.

The veterans in Chang'an are here, Qi Bi He Li, Liang Jianfang, Cheng Yanjin, etc., except for Su Dingfang, who is still killing the Quartet in Tuyuhun, all who should come are here.

Li Tao's prestige in the army is very high, since Li Jing's death, Li Tao has faintly become the first person in the Tang Dynasty military, so it is reasonable for all veterans to choose to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It is not only veterans who come, but also middle-aged people, such as Xue Rengui.

Of course, young people are indispensable, such as Xue Ne, the dog of the Xue family, Gao Qi, the grandson of Shen Guogong, and several bastard disciples of Li Qinzai, Li Sujie, Li Xian, Qi Bizhen, etc.

Three generations of old, middle and young people gathered in the British government, and most of them were born in Jiangmen.

The front hall of the Guogong Mansion flew sand and rocks for a while, and it was dark, and one by one, the murderous old generals congratulated Li Tao on the New Year with shy faces.

I don't know how many souls they have borne in their lives, and the congratulatory words of great luck are like reading a eulogy to Li Tao's tablet, and the wind in the hall is gusting, and I shudder.

After the veterans finished their congratulatory speeches, the next topic was not taboo, and it didn't matter if the New Year was too unlucky, opening your mouth was good news.

Su Dingfang beheaded how many levels in Tuyuhun, killed how many Tuyuhun tribesmen who refused to obey the king, and plundered how many cattle, sheep and money......

Li Qinzai grabbed the pillars of the front hall, carefully poked his head out, and looked at these world-shattering veterans laughing heroically, and Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp when he laughed.

The three words "old killer" are definitely not exaggerated adjectives, but pure realism.

As soon as the laughter fell, Liang Jianfang inadvertently saw Li Qinzai who was carefully peeping at the pillars of the corridor outside the hall, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Don't run away, the old man has seen you!" ”

Fools don't run, Li Qinzai is a sunny and positive young man, and he has absolutely no common topic with this group of old killers.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

Without hesitation, he turned his head and ran towards the gate, but unexpectedly, Liang Jianfang was much faster than him when he was old, and he swooped out like a mouse.

was very shameless and was caught under his armpit, at this time Li Qinzai was really like a salted fish stolen by a thief, with a loveless face, and was resigned to being caught in the front hall by Liang Jianfang.

As soon as he put him down, the veterans in the hall suddenly boiled, patting him on the shoulder one by one, praising him in a dazzling manner.

"Ying Gong has a good grandson, when he returned from this mission, the old man read the military newspaper and was really jealous...... Liang Jianfang sighed, the jealousy in his eyes was real and sincere.

Then Liang Jianfang gave Li Qinzai a bad idea in front of Li Tao: "Good nephew, one day you will make a catastrophe and force your grandfather to expel you from the house and come back to Grandpa Liang as a grandson, how about it?" Grandpa Liang invited you home with a sedan chair. ”

Li Qinzai is cold, do you hear people's words?

Li Tao smiled and groaned, but he was not angry, but his face was full of reserve.

Qi Bi He Li also sighed: "Ying Gong Ling Sun has really made a great contribution this time, don't say that Liang Lao Pifu, which old thing in Chang'an City is not jealous that Ying Gong has a good grandson, in his early twenties, he has been made a marquis, and he is completely relying on his own ability, and he has not touched the family ......at all."

Xue Rengui, who has always been silent, also said: "The virtuous nephew used the power of one person to include Tuyuhun in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is ...... I really don't know how to say it, back then, Wei was a fair Turk, and the virtuous nephew might be on a par with Wei Gong. ”

Only then did Li Tao have to speak: "Rengui's words are too much, don't mention it again." ”
