Chapter 82: A Proverb
"Uncle Qing, are you okay?" Zhu Zhanji asked suddenly.
Li Qing nodded subconsciously, a little strange why he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I only heard Zhu Zhanji say again, "Can you live for another thirty years?" ”
"I guess I can." Li Qing had an ominous premonition, "It's not... What do you mean? ”
"It's nothing, just ask." Zhu Zhanji smiled and muttered in a low voice: "In this way, I should be able to live until I ascend the throne." ”
Li Qing:-_-||" Have you eaten enough? ”
"It's full." Zhu Zhanji nodded.
"Go to the old monk when you're full." Li Qing said angrily, "He doesn't have a few years to live, hurry up and learn his skills, otherwise he won't have a chance to learn it in the future." ”
"Hey." Zhu Zhanji nodded, "That'...... Preserved egg?
Uncle Qing, I brought it to my father. He emphasized.
“…… Wait, I'll let someone pick it up. ”
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zhanji carried a small basket of preserved eggs and smiled from ear to ear, "Uncle Qing, I'll go first, you have to take care of your body!" ”
Li Qing said with a dark face, "Don't worry, and live." ”
……
Following.
Li Qing got off the noon court, arrived home with the front foot, and came with a little fat on the back foot.
"Business?"
"Private matters."
"What's the matter?"
Chubby said embarrassedly, "Brother Qing... Do you still have preserved eggs? ”
Li Qing teased, "Didn't the emperor let you lose weight, why do you still want to eat?" ”
"It's minus." Xiaopang spread his hands, "I only eat four bowls of rice at a time now, and I am already very restrained." ”
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "It's not good to eat too many preserved eggs, for your health, I can't give it to you;
Really...... A basket of preserved eggs will be made by you in one day, and the landlord's family can't stand you making it like this. ”
"What? A basket? Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "This bastard boy, he just gave it to me, damn, isn't this a cheat father." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go back to the palace to beat people, took two steps, turned his head and said, "What... Brother Qing, give me some more. ”
Li Qing's face was full of black lines, but he still asked people to get some.
"You've lost some weight now, keep up the good work and try to lose two hundred... Forget it, it's enough to lose weight to two hundred and two. Li Qingdao said, "It's not good to be too fat, what high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, ......"
Balabala......
Chubby's face was covered with sweat when he heard this, "Is it so serious?" ”
"It's serious." Li Qing snorted, "You are not young anymore, you have to be busy with government affairs every day, and if you don't take care of your body, something will definitely happen." ”
"I'll pay attention later." Xiaopang swore and said, "From tomorrow, I will only eat three bowls of rice at a time." ”
Li Qing said with a smile, "Eat less rice, and you have to eat less vegetables." ”
"Done." Xiaopang agreed, paused, and hesitated, "I heard that Yongle rice can be boiled and eaten?" ”
“…… Follow me. ”
Li Qing broke a few sticks for him in the cornfield, "It will be ripe in two days, and I will send you more when the time comes." ”
"Thank you, Brother Qing." Xiaopang was carrying a basket full of joy, "Then I'll go first, there are still some government affairs to deal with." ”
Li Qing instructed: "It's okay to move around more, don't stay still all day, no matter how busy you are on official business, you won't have any time at all." ”
"Hey, goodbye, Brother Qing." Chubby nodded, took two steps and turned back, "That ......"
"What's the matter?"
Xiaopang sneered and said, "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, how do you make this preserved egg, Brother Qing, you can tell me, and when I'm done eating, let people make some." ”
You know the words...... Li Qing supported his forehead, but he still talked about the process of making preserved eggs, and gave him a lower pulse, but he found no symptoms, so he let him go.
~
Two days later, most of the young corn is ripe.
Li Qing broke off eighty sticks and sent them to the palace, and sent twenty sticks to the Cao Guogong Mansion, Lan Yu was not in Beijing, and it was estimated that he would celebrate the New Year with his nephew and grandson in Fengyang, Li Qing did not send it to the Liang Guogong Mansion.
After entering the palace, he gave Xu Miaoyun some diagnosis and treatment and prescribed some medicine.
After finishing these, Li Qing asked Zhu Di for leave.
"Take a leave of absence again?" Zhu Di was gnawing on the boiled corn while reprimanding Li Qing, "Tell me, haven't you had a good time this year?"
I gave you such a high salary, you are not diligent, and you still think about being lazy all day long, are you worthy of your salary?
Is it worthy of my cultivation? ”
Li Qing wiped his face, wiped off the corn crumbs sprayed on his face, and said with a smile: "This time it's only for a month." ”
"A month? Still only please? Zhu Di scolded, "Gave you face, right?" ”
“…… Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. Li Qing said bitterly, "You will have no friends like this." ”
Zhu Di was furious: "Why the hell do you have the face to say this?" ”
In other words, he would never be so angry.
Everyone is qualified to say this, but Li Qing is not.
"Your Majesty, this time it's really something." Li Qing said seriously.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Zhu Di suppressed his anger slightly, "What's the matter?" ”
"My master's death day is coming." After saying too much, Li Qing no longer had taboos, "I was too busy before, but I haven't been busy for the past two years, and now I'm not busy." ”
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, the anger on his face tended to be calm, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, although the emperor could win love, but it had to be a special situation.
"That'll do!" Zhu Di nodded in agreement, "Just one month." ”
After a pause, "Do you want to send you some brocade guards to accompany you?" ”
"It's not necessary, it's just a paper money, and it's not a return to the hometown." Li Qing smiled, "My ability, your majesty, you don't know it." ”
Zhu Di thought about it, "By the way, Li Qing, what about your family, why have I never heard of you?" ”
"I am an orphan and grew up with Master." Li Qing's face was not red and he was not panting.
If you tell too many lies, you will get used to it, in a sense, he is really an orphan, not to mention his father, his ancestors have not been born for eighteen generations.
Zhu Di didn't say anything more, and didn't even suspect that Zhang Sloppy was not dead.
In this era when filial piety is greater than the sky, no one dares to joke about the death of the elders, and in his impression, Li Qing is not that kind of person.
"Go early and return early, if you are a day late, I will deduct a month's worth from you." Zhu Di snorted, "The national policy of spreading the acres into the acres is very good, do you have any better ones, say it together." ”
Li Qing shook his head, "It's not for the time being, and I will think of it again in the future." ”
The interests of the rich gentry have been compressed step by step, and they are on the verge of collapse, and if they are radically reformed, it will not be a good thing, and if they are not done well, even the current achievements will be ruined.
Li Qing has been in this era for so long, and he knows the twists and turns here.
Even if Zhu Di can implement it, he will be pushed after his death, and he may also be counterattacked.
It's good that Daming can be like this, as long as there is no war, the people's lives will get better and better.
It is simply impossible not to give officials a little benefit.

"Sir is going to go far away?"
"Well, I'll be back in a month at most." Li Qing broke off some tender corn, wrapped it in silk, and sorted out dozens of copies of the "Yongle Canon", seeing the three girls reluctant, she said with a smile, "I'll be back in more than 20 days." ”
According to his estimates, after a few days, the old man would be annoyed with him.
The third girl nodded sheepishly, "Sir, have a good trip." ”
"Hmm." Li Qing smiled and nodded, fixed his burden, turned over and got on the horse, "Let's go!" ”
……
Ten days later, Li Qing carried a large bag and a small bag, and went up the mountain with a familiar car.
The Taoist temple is still the same, and it seems to be more dilapidated.
"Master, I'm back." Li Qing shouted.
"Squeak~"
The small door was opened, and the middle-aged Zhu Yunwen came out, and when he saw that it was Li Qing, his face showed a touch of joy, "Senior brother, you can be regarded as here." ”
"Countable?"
Li Qing's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "What about Master?" ”
"In the Taoist temple, senior brother comes with me."
Hearing that the old man was at home, Li Qing was even more uneasy, with his understanding of the old man, if he hadn't been sick or sick, he would never be so honest.
"What's wrong with Master?" His voice trembled a little.
Zhu Yunwen said gloomily: "Master... Sick. ”
Really......
Li Qing was anxious, immediately quickened his pace, and soon came to Zhang's sloppy bedroom.
Seeing the master lying calmly on the bed, his eyes closed, and his demeanor peaceful, as if he was dead, Li Qing's heart was cold.
His own crow's mouth turned out to be a prophecy...... Cursed Master to death?
"Snap ——!"
The burden fell to the ground, Li Qing took three steps and made two steps, knelt in front of the bed, and mourned: "Master, Master, what's wrong with you, Master?"
Yes...... Master, you can't die!
I'm not going to curse you again......"
Li Qing's voice trembled, and he felt like the sky was about to fall, "Master... I have relied on you for so many years, and I can't imagine today...... Brunette man sends ......"
"What are you cursing me for?" Zhang sloppy opened his eyes and asked.
"I curse you...... Huh? Master, you're not dead! ”
