Chapter 732: Ming Yi is hard to chastize
The news that Cui Jie was pregnant spread faster than expected.
The next day, the students not only came to the door to say goodbye, but also sent someone to send the news to Chang'an City.
Overnight, all the powerful families in Chang'an City knew that Li Qinzai's wife was pregnant.
The pregnancy of the wife is a major event, in ancient times, the wife gave birth to a son-in-law, and she will inherit the title in the future, even if Li Qinzai has no reward from now on, then his sister-in-law will at least be a county uncle in a few years.
If Li Qinzai is a little more competitive in the past few years, and accidentally becomes a county prince or a county prince, the sister-in-law of the Li family will be very good, there is no starting line at all after birth, and landing is the end.
In the afternoon, the magnates of Chang'an City sent people to Ganjingzhuang to say goodbye.
I have to say that the little bastard's father's gifts are much heavier, they look majestic and magnificent, and they don't lose the face of the powerful and high-ranking families.
Pieces of horseshoe-shaped gold, all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, silk, precious stones, etc., were piled up in the treasury of the house.
Li Qinzai stood at the door and was overjoyed, although he was a little inhuman, but he had to admit that he was receiving gifts at the moment, and he was happier than hearing the news of Cui Jie's pregnancy......
Until an old servant came from outside the door, who came to give a gift on the order of Liu Renliang, the old servant only brought an ordinary small wooden box, and when he opened the wooden box, it was actually a copper pony inside.
There was also a strange pattern carved on the horse's belly, which Li Qinzai recognized for a long time, and the old servant explained next to him, saying that this pattern was a hexagram in the Book of Changes.
This pattern is the thirty-sixth hexagram in the I Ching.
Li Qinzai looked at the old servant with a confused expression, and the old servant also looked at him innocently, and the two looked at each other for a long time, speechless and choked.
Li Qinzai was waiting for him to explain exactly what this broken horse and broken hexagram meant, and the old servant felt that Li Xianhou's talent was known to the world, and of course the hexagram on the I Ching did not need to be explained, and he could understand it at a glance.
It wasn't until the old servant found that Li Qinzai's eyes had gradually begun to become impatient, and he was about to go crazy, so the old servant stepped forward and explained: "The thirty-sixth hexagram of "Yi" says: 'Ming Yi is difficult and chaste', and its hexagram cloud: 'The inner civilization is submissive and the outer is supple, and the king of Wen is in great trouble, and the king of Wen is in it', 'The gentleman is to be in the crowd, and the obscurity is clear'......"
Li Qinzai smiled: "...... Speak human words. ”
The old servant arched his hand and said, "What my master means is that a gentleman should stick to the right path in difficult situations, and my master is willing to encourage Li Xianhou." ”
Li Qinzai weighed the broken copper horse in his hand, and dismantled the wooden box containing the copper horse to pieces, and finally did not find any other gifts besides the copper horse.
So Li Qinzai sighed and said slowly: "Your master is really ...... Give less, play a lot, and make so many famous halls, that's all? ”
The old servant was stunned for a long time, and after a while, the old face turned red.
Raising money hurts feelings.
The old servant took his leave, and Li Qinzai put on a smirk on his face and asked him to convey his gratitude to Liu Renliang.
The gift is very good, and the meaning is also very profound, don't give it next time.
After sending the old servant away, Li Qinzai lowered his head and looked at the broken copper horse in his hand again. The hexagram on the bronze horse came into view.
Li Qinzai pursed his lips, knowing that the ancients, especially the ancients of the Qing Dynasty, liked to borrow the meaning of things, and cultural people, they liked to be subtle, and at the same time pretended to show their talents inadvertently.
However, you are especially giving a gold.
Of course, the copper is also worth a little money, Li Qinzai decided to turn around and give it to buckwheat to play, and in the future, he will fight with the children and smash the copper horse on the head, which is both heroic and domineering, and the character who is quite unreasonable and cannot be provoked by money can stand up completely.
As for Liu Renliang's so-called "Ming Yi Li Difficult Zhen", it probably refers to the current matter of advising Feng Chan Taishan.
Yesterday, Li Qinzai had a falling out with Li Zhi over this matter, and not only that, but he also offended the Empress Wu to death.
It's really hard to think about it, and having offended the emperor and empress at the same time, Li Qinzai feels a chill in his back when he thinks about his fate.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that the broken copper horse sent by Liu Renliang is very unlucky.
That's it, don't play with buckwheat, so as not to infect the next generation, and use it to smash walnuts in the future.
Liu Renliang is afraid that he will be wrong, everyone's aura is not compatible, this time it just happened that they were on the same line with each other, well, one-time.
He wouldn't think that Li Qinzai, the grandson of a dignified British public family and a marquis of Juefeng County, who has a great future, is also poor and sour like him, right?
Tsk, Lao Liu really dares to think.
Turning around and looking at the generous gifts from the powerful families piled up in the warehouse, Li Qinzai showed a sincere smile.
It's better to be a powerful family, look at the gifts given by others, low-key luxury has connotation, if Cui Jie is a little more competitive and has a child of ninety-nine treasures every year, won't she make a fortune.
…………
After sending away the convoy of gifts from various powerful families, it was already evening.
Li Qinzai walked back to the backyard and came to the courtyard where Buckwheat lived alone.
Since Li Qinzai and Cui Jie got married, Buckwheat has a separate residence in the backyard, Cui Jie assigned three or four maids to serve Buckbuck, in terms of food and clothing, Cui Jie is really meticulous to Buckbuck, not at all like the mean and bitter image of the stepmother in film and television dramas.
Buckwheat was playing in the yard with two maids, who were about fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were having a good time with Buckwheat.
Li Qinzai quietly approached and found that Buckwheat was actually playing dice with them.
Dice appeared as early as the Warring States period and have been passed down to this day.
The white jade porcelain bowl buckled the dice, and the buckwheat shook all the way, and after putting down the porcelain bowl, the buckwheat smiled mysteriously.
"The two sisters said okay, if I shake a point bigger than you, you will kiss me, if my point is smaller than yours, I will kiss you, and you are not allowed to cheat."
The two maids covered their mouths and giggled, but they agreed timidly.
Li Qinzai gasped and his eyes widened in shock.
Has buckwheat grown to this realm? Thinking about myself in my previous life, I was still peeing and mud at the age of seven or eight, and I felt ashamed to pass on a small scandal with a female classmate.
In contrast, Buckwheat's Taoism is simply a land immortal.
For some reason, Li Qinzai's heart suddenly swelled with deep worries.
If this development continues, I am afraid that in a few years, Li Qinzai will become a grandfather.
He's only in his twenties.
After thinking about it, Buckwheat uncovered the porcelain bowl, and there were three dice inside, which were actually three sixes, leopards.
The three of them took a closer look, and Buckwheat couldn't help but be overjoyed, but the two maids glared at him with a blush on their faces.
Buckwheat was not polite, immediately closed her eyes, pursed her lips vigorously, and slowly leaned towards the girl's delicate face.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the oblique thorn, and decisively and ruthlessly pinched Qiao'er's pursed mouth, Li Qinzai flashed out and said in a deep voice: "Shut up!" ”
The two maids were startled, and after seeing Li Qinzai clearly, they couldn't help screaming, covering their faces and running away in shame.
Buck'er's mouth was still pinched by Li Qinzai, making a muffled whining sound.
Li Qinzai didn't let go, and sneered: "You are really good, you dare to flirt with the maids in the house before you are eight years old, and you are a bastard who has no hair, I will find you a stunning beauty and strip naked and throw you in the bed, so I will ask you what you can do?" ”
