Chapter 1: The New Year

Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar

Jinling.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Qing heard good news, good news from Zhu Qizhen.

A few months ago, Qian became pregnant, and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

Zhu Qizhen flew happily, his whole face was red, and he grinned and showed off to Li Qing.

Zhu Yunwen is also very happy, although it is not the same branch, but after all, it is the bloodline of the Zhu family, as an elder, he is naturally happy.

He has prepared the red envelopes for his granddaughter-in-law.

Anyway, when the child grows up, he will have to call him grandpa.

It doesn't matter if Zhu Qizhen is called grandpa or not, anyway, it is not an honorable thing to have such a grandson, but his son has to be called ...... Zhu Yunwen thought happily, and his vicissitudes of life showed kindness.

When people are old, they like children, especially offspring.

The same is true for Li Qing, who is very rare children.

The house is full of joy, there are still ten days before the New Year, red lanterns, door gods, and Spring Festival couplets are ready, and the housekeeper is still actively purchasing New Year's goods.

There is no shortage of money at home, and the quality of life naturally cannot be left behind, not to mention pregnant women.

Zhu Yunwen specially recruited more than ten maids, and in addition, the connecting mother-in-law was recruited in advance, which can be described as meticulous.

When Zhu Qizhen saw him like this, he didn't get angry with him anymore, and occasionally gave a good face, which was a return gift.

The two still don't like each other, they both think that each other is more rubbish, and they usually only say two words when they meet.

Because, the third sentence has to quarrel.

Qian's face was full of joy, these days are her happiest time, there is no evil mother-in-law, no intrigue, some are the love of her husband, and she is the only favorite.

She doesn't have to share her husband with others, she is monogamous, and the years are quiet.

That's it, that's it...... Li Qing could see that the little couple was really happy.

Zhu Qizhen really has no intention of taking the throne, and he has become a wife slave.

Zhu Yunwen often teased him, but Zhu Qizhen had a glorious face, and in turn ridiculed Zhu Yunwen for being old and not understanding the mood of young people, so angry that Zhu Yunwen blew his beard and glared.

Everything else can be debated, but there is no way to argue about age.

Zhu Qizhen is only twenty-three after the New Year, what does he compare with an old man?

The house was shrouded in a cheerful atmosphere, it was very healing, better than any healing elixir, Li Qing's mind was relaxed, happy, and no longer dull.

The happy time passed quickly, and in a flash, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the house was even more cheerful.

The red lantern is hung high, and the spring couplets, door gods, and stove gods are pasted...... The people are busy and happy.

Zhu Qizhen had itchy hands, and he also rolled up his sleeves to hang lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets, but he only made the yard where he lived.

The layout of the Hou Mansion is four courtyards, Zhu Qizhen accounts for one of them, Zhu Yunwen and Zhang Sloppy occupy one of them, and the subordinates account for one of them, and the remaining courtyard is reserved for Li Qing, which is the courtyard where Li Qing lived before.

However, Li Qing had never lived there once, and there was too much beauty there, and he didn't dare to open it.

Every time he came back, he lived with his master and younger brother.

Today's New Year, everyone gathered in the main and guest hall in the front yard.

Li Qing and Zhu Yunwen played against each other; On the side, Zhu Qizhen followed Zhang Sloppy to learn Tai Chi; Qian held his cheeks, and his eyes were full of husbands.

In the eyes of others, Zhu Qizhen is really good, but in her eyes, her husband is the best in the world.

She stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, watching her husband and her husband punch in the wind, and her pretty face was rippling with an intoxicating sweet smile.

When Li Qing saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, he didn't know how the Qian family was in history, but he was definitely not so happy.

I, the greeting envoy, also did my best...... Li Qing thought happily.

The Qian family was brought into the palace by him, and now it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

"Tai Chi is self-cultivation, not for you to play fast, hard, you see how I fight, you see ......"

Zhang was sloppy as he was talking, when he saw that Zhu Qizhen was only looking at his daughter-in-law, he didn't listen to what he said at all, and raised his hand to break his head, "Don't look at your daughter-in-law, look at me." ”

What's so nice about you...... Zhu Qizhen rubbed his head, "What did you just say, old man?" ”

"If you don't teach it, you beg me to stop it." Zhang was sloppy, "Rotten wood can't be carved!" ”

"Look at you, you're an immortal, why do you have such a small belly?" Zhu Qizhen hurriedly put on a high hat, but Zhang was sloppy and didn't put on the set at all.

"Qingzi, don't play chess, go, prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Li Qing: "...... Master, aren't there people in the house? ”

"You didn't come back, I ate what people made, and when you came back, I ate people made by people, so why did you come back?" Zhang snorted sloppily, "Less nonsense, a little more numb, don't force me to be rude." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes Master. Li Qing got up helplessly.

Zhu Qizhen: "Kukuku ......"

"What are you laughing at?" Li Qing's face sank, "You, come here, give me a hand." ”

"Shall I do it?" Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and snorted: "The gentleman is far away, I ...... it."

"Less nonsense, a little more numbness, don't force me to be rough." Li Qing rolled up his sleeves and said sadly.

What am I messing with him...... Zhu Qizhen regretted it.

He didn't dare to be with Li Qinggang, Li Qing was a ruthless person, when he was the emperor, Li Qing dared to stab him with a knife, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out.

Now that he is not the emperor, and he is still sent to the fence, what else can he do.

Alas... Let's do it...... Zhu Qizhen looked at his daughter-in-law and forcibly saved his respect: "Xiao Qian, I'll cook food for you for my husband." ”

He loves his wife, so he is not afraid of Li Qing.

In front of your daughter-in-law, you can't lose your share.

Qian was empathetic and said sweetly: "It's hard work." ”

Li Qing touched his nose and was speechless: This can be shown, and there is no one.

East Kitchen.

Li Qing tied an apron and picked up a kitchen knife in a circle in the palm of his hand, quite a five-star chef's sense of luxury.

Zhu Qizhen exclaimed: "Cow wow, cow wow, ......!" ”

"Less nonsense!" Li Qing's hand shook, and the kitchen knife was inserted on the board, shaking constantly.

Zhu Qizhen's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly took half a step back, almost chopping his hand just now.

"You, chopping vegetables!" Li Qingyi commanded. gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ōΓg

"I... I won't! Zhu Qizhen said, "Really, I haven't done this." ”

"It's not going to ......" Li Qing glanced at him with disgust, "Harmony will always be there, right?" ”

"Nor is it... Ah, yes. Zhu Qizhen rolled up his arms and said confidently: "Sir, you go and cut vegetables, and I'll make noodles." ”

I haven't seen a pig run, I haven't eaten pork yet, and the soft steamed bun and small pickles are his favorite, and he is confident that he can make good noodles.

Li Qing saw that his sleeves were rolled up high, and after cleaning his hands, he added noodles and water, and it was like that, so he went to the opposite stove to chop the dumpling filling.

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, dumplings are the main event, dumplings are good or not all in the filling, Li Qing has to do it himself.

The two monarchs and ministers in the past are now a noodle and a dumpling filling, as if they have become husbands.

Zhu Qizhen is doing a very good job, this is the first time he has cooked, and he is quite interesting.

The dough and dry, it doesn't matter, add water;

Noodles and wet, small problems, add noodles...... Zhu Qizhen was very happy.

But... With that, he realized that something was wrong.

Basin ...... It's small!

Zhu Qizhen looked up at Li Qing, and saw that he was holding a knife in both hands, and the knife was chopped out, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The last time I added noodles...... Zhu Qizhen's expression was serious.

Soon, cold sweat oozed from his forehead: he added water for the last time.

'Da Da Da ......! Li Qing concentrated on chopping the dumpling filling, chopping it over and over again, and occasionally adding some condiments and seasonings.

After a busy half an hour, I finally brought out the most time-consuming dumpling filling.

He chopped up two large pots, enough to eat for several meals.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Zhu Qizhen opposite, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: You, what are you doing?

"I, I'm in a meeting!" Zhu Qizhen said in a trembling voice, with an expression of almost crying, "I, I'm afraid that I won't have enough to eat, so I'll just... It's a little bit more. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't get along. Li Qing was really convinced, "It's all with a case, stop it." ”

"Hey, okay." Zhu Qizhen was relieved: Noodles are really a technical job.

Zhu Qizhen was quite upset, and said with a sneering face, "Sir, what else do you think I can do?" ”

Li Qing pursed his lips in disgust and snorted, "It's always going to be a pot." ”

"Well, you'll see." Zhu Qizhen patted his chest and said.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The smoke from the east kitchen was everywhere, Li Qing burst into tears, and roared: "Get out, get out......!" ”

Get out of here...... Zhu Qizhen walked out with tears in his eyes: This guy is too deceitful, unlike Xiaoqian who will only feel sorry for me.
