Chapter 41: A Taste of Difference
Households.
Li Qing showed his tooth card, "This official's new Jinyi Guard envoy Li Qing has business to find your lords." ”
The official took a closer look at the tooth card, nodded and said, "Wait a minute, the big one, and the small one will go to the court." ”
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet official robe and a peacock embroidered on his chest walked out of the door with the official and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is Li Qing, Li Zhenfu's envoy?" ”
"It's me." Li Qing nodded, "Your Excellency is ......"
"Guo Huan, the official household servant." Guo Huan clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Li Zhenfu used thunderbolt means to crack the Ouyang Lun smuggling case and remove this big tumor for the imperial court, which is gratifying and congratulatory, and the household tax will definitely hit a new high in the future." ”
"Guo Shilang praised it falsely." Li Qing cupped his fists and returned the salute, "The lower officials took the liberty to come here, and they really had official business." ”
Guo Huan nodded with a smile, "Please inside." ”
In the lobby of the household department, the two sat down separately, and the official served tea.
Li Qing took out the note given by Zhu Yuanzhang, "This is the emperor's approval of the Jinyi Guard's recruitment funds, Guo Shilang has seen it." ”
After Guo Huan confirmed that it was correct, he asked, "When does Li Zhenfu want it?" ”
"The sooner the better."
Recruiting 3,000 people in two months, the amount of work is not small, and Li Qing does not have enough time.
"The official will let people enter the account later." Guo Huan said, "There are many appropriation processes in the household department, and Ouyang Lun's greedy property is being counted and recorded, well... Tomorrow morning, right? ”
"No delay." Li Qing got up and said, "Then it's troublesome, and the next official will leave." ”
Guo Huan also stood up, "Li Zhenfu walked slowly." ”
Li Qing bowed slightly, turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered that there was another matter, so he turned back.
"Li Zhenfu still has business?"
"Not really, it's a personal matter." Li Qing sneered, "There are three women in the Drunken Immortal Building who have been brought home by me, and I haven't transferred their household registration yet." ”
"Oh? Ha ha...... Li Zhenfu is really young and romantic. Guo Huan smiled heartily, "It's a trivial matter, you tell me their identity information, and the official will let people do it immediately." ”
Li Qing said the basic information of the third daughter, and arched his hand: "It's troublesome." ”
"Li Zhenfu is polite, this is the responsibility of the household department."
The two exchanged a few words, and Li Qing said goodbye and left.
Guo Huan looked at Li Qing's departing back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Wan Ling?
I think it's the woman in the song "Gift Wanling", which was rumored some time ago, and that is the most famous Qing Qi person in the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
The corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile, "There is something to do about this, what are you young, you have just been doing it for more than a month, how can you have so much money to redeem the Qing people?"
To be an official is to be the same as the light, you are so sharp and cut off people's financial routes, it is very difficult for us to do it! ”
……
On the streets of the capital.
Li Qing went crazy shopping, beds, futons, towels, bathtubs, ...... Finally, we came to the women's ready-to-wear shop.
He knows the size of Red Sleeves and Lianxiang well, after all, he has grasped them so many times, and it is easy to pick them out.
However, he didn't know the size of Wanling, he hadn't used it, so he could only estimate it.
Pleated skirts, belly pockets, cloud socks, embroidered shoes...... I bought several sets of menstrual cloths.
After reporting his address and paying the deposit, he bought some melons, fruits, vegetables and meat, and when he returned home, it was almost noon.
Li Qing put the things on the table and asked, "Do you know how to cook?" ”
"The servant can cook porridge." Wan Ling said.
Lian Xiang and Red Sleeves blushed and shook their heads, where did they cook, they all ate ready-made before, but they all said that they could try to learn.
"Then let's try it." Li Qing didn't want to go to the restaurant again and again.
The women nodded seriously, got up and picked up the dishes, and went to the kitchen with high morale.
Half an hour later, four dishes and one soup were put on the table.
The appearance is not good, Li Qing picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, the taste is very average, and it is a little salty, but it can be like this for the first time cooking, which is not bad.
"Sit down and eat."
Wan Ling was surprised, "Master, let us eat with you?" ”
"Let's eat together, there are not so many rules at home." Li Qing said, "You usually clean up, wash my clothes, cook for me, and nothing else." ”
The girls nodded, "Yes, sir." ”
Li Qing laughed and said, "Am I that old?" ”
Red Sleeves endured the fun, "What is the name of the master if you don't call it?" ”
"I'm older than you, ...... Hello sir. Li Qing said, "Let's eat." ”
The three girls sat down obediently, the food was not delicious, far worse than the Drunken Immortal Building, but they ate very sweetly.
After eating, the girls cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Qing returned to the wing room to take a rest.
Listening to the chatter outside, he suddenly felt that this was not bad, much better than before.
After lying down for a while, sleepiness gradually swelled up, and Li Qing fell asleep.
It wasn't until he was in a daze that he heard someone calling him, that he woke up leisurely, got up and came to the guest hall, "What's the matter?" ”
"Sir, have you bought a lot of things?" Reika pointed outside.
Li Qing looked in the direction she pointed, the things she bought in the morning were piled up at the door, and the guys were waiting to ask for money, looking at the posture, they were about to start scolding.
He hurriedly stepped forward and settled the balance for the guys in each store.
After the shopkeeper left, the women came out of the room and saw a lot of things, almost all of which they used, and their hearts warmed.
"Sir, what's in this bag?" Redsleeves asked.
"Just open it and see."
Lian Xiang struggled to lift it up, Wan Ling helped drag it down, and the two moved into the courtyard together.
The three girls gathered together, curiously opened the big burden, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the belly pocket and the menstrual cloth; Crimson, off-white, particularly conspicuous, can't help blushing.
In addition, there are embroidered shoes, pleated skirts, cloud socks, and trousers with pleated skirts......
They didn't expect Li Qing to buy these things for them, they were moved and embarrassed.
"It's all daily."
Li Qing said with a smile, "Three sets per person, all of them are bought according to your size, go back and try it to know whose it is." ”
Lianxiang and Red Sleeves glanced at him, pursed their lips and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
Wan Ling glanced at Li Qing quietly, wondering how he knew his size, could it be ...... His eyes are rulers?
Li Qing was impartial, bought three beds, and pulled out the one left by the original owner before to make firewood.
The women helped carry the things, and after a little half an hour, everything stayed where it should be.
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the persimmons in the courtyard are red, the pomegranates are also red, full of fruits, like a small red lantern, very gratifying.
The small courtyard was cleaned very clean, looking refreshing and comfortable, Li Qing pulled a chair and sat under the fruit tree, looking at the book written by the master, drinking the tea made by Wanling, and had a special taste in his heart.
In the afternoon, Li Qing got up and rushed to the palace.
What's most important right now?
Queen Ma's body, of course!
This is the most important thing, in contrast, the expansion of Jinyi Wei has to stand aside.
In the Qianqing Palace, Li Qing gave Queen Ma a pulse and said with relief: "Niangniang only needs to recuperate with peace of mind, maintain a good mood, and it will not be a problem to celebrate the New Year with her children and grandchildren." ”
"Hongu also feels that his body is recovering." Queen Ma nodded lightly, with a relaxed smile on her face, completely lost the sadness of her dead son-in-law.
Li Qing was a little relieved, the patient was happy and relaxed, and he, the doctor, would also reduce a lot of treatment difficulties.
After chatting about the condition, the two chatted.
Queen Ma likes to chat with Li Qing very much, her husband and son are busy dealing with national affairs all day long, and the princes and grandsons are too young, the palace ladies only have awe of her, and always pay attention to etiquette.
Only Li Qing, who is not very old, but very mature, and has little reverence for imperial power, can talk about it.
The two chatted for a long time, and Queen Ma sighed: "In the entire palace, only you will treat this palace as an old woman, not a high-ranking queen mother." ”
Li Qing's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "The minister doesn't dare, the emperor is the sun, and the mother is the moon......"
"Alright, alright." Queen Ma was amused, "...... you"
sighed, and said: "Now that the emperor has promoted you to an official, it seems that he is planning to reuse you, so it's okay, when the palace dies, you won't be implicated, but......
This palace hopes that in the future, in addition to impartially enforcing the law, you can also have a heart of mercy, if it is not a mortal crime, try to leave a way for people to live, and do less killing. ”
"Remember." Li Qing smiled bitterly and agreed, "Niangniang, many times Jinyiwei can't be the master." ”
Queen Ma was silent for a long time, and sighed: "This palace understands, if you can become the emperor's confidant in the future, help me persuade him, okay?" ”
"Okay."
"Thank you." Queen Ma smiled, looked up at the orange sunlight shining in, and said with a smile, "It's evening, you go back, don't let down the rights in your hands." ”
"I understand." Li Qing got up and said goodbye.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, the orange-red sunset looks so beautiful, but a corner of it has been hidden in Qixia Mountain, just like Queen Ma's body, looking good, but in fact, it is ......
Li Qing sighed lightly and stepped down the steps......
