Chapter 32: Telling Stories, On Heroes

"The emperor agreed?" Zhang asked sloppily.

"Hmm." Li Qing said with a smile: "It's not early today, let's go tomorrow, I'll settle the donkey first." โ€

'Hmm~ah~' The donkey replied excitedly, it was really afraid of the little old man, and the forage was not fragrant.

Zhang sloppily glanced at the donkey, and the donkey immediately quieted down and hid behind Li Qing.

"Take this beast away quickly." Zhang was sloppy and said in disgust, "If you hadn't raised this, I would have eaten meat a long time ago." โ€

The donkey arched Li Qing: Send me to Yu Qian's house quickly.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Master, I'll go first." โ€

"Go, go, go."

~

When he arrived at Yu Qian's house, there was no need for Li Qing to say, the donkey consciously went to its exclusive wooden shed, just like his own home.

No, much more presumptuous than in your own home.

Yu Qian was still busy in the yamen, Li Qing chatted with Yu Mian for a few words, and then went home.

After dinner, Li Qing went to Yu Qian's house again, Jingshi was such a friend, and he naturally had to have a drink if he wanted to leave.

"What? Are you taking a leave of absence until next year? Yu Qian suspected that he had heard it wrong, no one asked for leave like this!

"What a fuss," Li Qing glanced at him, "I bleed and sweated for Daming, can't I enjoy it?" โ€

"No, haven't you been enjoying it?" Yu Qian said speechlessly, "And your vacation is too long, I don't know, I think you have returned to your hometown." โ€

He began to envy Li Qing: "Sir, you're too comfortable, aren't you?" โ€

Li Qing snorted: "You just see thieves eating meat, but you don't see thieves being beaten, you calculate carefully, how long have I been working?" โ€

Yu Qian scratched his head: "But I feel that the total time you work may not be as much as mine." โ€

In terms of seniority, what Li Qing didn't say, no one can compare, but in terms of working hours...... Li Qing didn't say anything, no one can compare.

"You know what, I've only started to slack off in the past few years, and I used to work very hard." Li Qing forcibly saved his respect.

You just tell me, when Yongle was in my Zhongjinshi, you were fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, when I didn't know? Yu Qian's face was full of black lines.

He didn't believe Li Qing's nonsense.

"Sir, let's just say, why did Taizu cut you with a sword back then?"

"Because I don't work." Li Qing smoothed his mouth and told the truth.

Yu Qian: Hmph, is it dewy?

Li Qing's face was hot, and he made up for it: "What do you know, he is a workaholic, and he can't wait to treat people as donkeys, so who can withstand it?" โ€

Yu Qian's face: Do you think I believe it? รณฮ ัŠ.oั๏ผง

"Believe it or not, there was no you at that time, how do you know what virtues Taizu has." Li Qing pursed his lips and concentrated on eating and drinking.

Yu Qian didn't bother about this, he knew that Li Qing loved salted fish, but he didn't do much to do, besides, ...... He still has a lot to do in the future, and it's okay to be lazy.

"When will you be back next year?"

"After the Lantern Festival." Li Qing said, "When the time comes, I'm going to go to the grassland, well... Strive to recruit a batch of people first and get off to a good start. โ€

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: Mr. still attaches great importance to state affairs.

After thinking about it, he felt that he was too worried again, Li Qing was not a person who only cared about pleasure.

Yu Qian raised his glass: "I wish Mr. a smooth journey." โ€

"Hmm." Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and drank it all.

Late at night, Li Qing returned happily.

The little guy hadn't slept yet, and sat on a chair under the eaves with the little old man and listened to the little old man's story.

Seeing him come back, he happily stepped forward, "Godfather, let's go back to Jinling tomorrow, right?" โ€

"Hmm." Li Qing touched his head and asked with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" โ€

"I can't sleep happily." The little guy said embarrassedly.

Zhang was sloppy but relaxed: "You're finally back, you tell the story, I have to go to sleep." โ€

The little old man likes children, but he doesn't like to play with them.

It's like...... Like cats, the kind of people who love to pet but are too lazy to raise, the main focus is a prostitute cat.

was about to go back to Jinling, Li Qing was in a good mood, pulled the little guy to the chair and sat down, looked at the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the side and said with a smile:

"Where's that?"

"Under the Tiger Prison, the princes of the Eighteen Roads gathered." Xiao Li Hong said excitedly, "It seems that there is about to fight." โ€

Huo, isn't the next thing to be the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu?

Li Qing simply didn't read the original book, and talked directly about the TV series version.

"In other words, Lu Buduan's bravery, Fang Tian painted the halberd in his hand, no one can survive three moves, and after slashing several generals, he is even more arrogant, and no one dares to fight the princes of the Eighteen Roads......"

"He's amazing!" Xiao Li Hong was fascinated.

Li Qing smiled, and continued: "Suddenly, the door of the Tiger Prison was wide open, and I saw a person holding a Zhangba snake spear gun, and the sound was like thunder:

The three slaves don't want to be rampant, watch me stab you in 10,000 transparent holes. โ€

"Godfather, is Lu Bu a good guy or a bad guy?" Xiao Li Hong asked.

He regarded Lu Bu as an idol, and when he heard the 'three family slaves', he was afraid that Lu Bu was a wicked person.

"It's not good, but it's not bad." Li Qing thought for a while and commented: "He is capricious, a... Contradictory people. โ€

"That's it," Xiao Li Hong seemed to understand, children have the psychology of worshiping heroes, and he asked again: "Then who is a good person and who is a hero?" โ€

This is a profound question, and Li Qing was asked for a while.

Cao Cao? That must not be.

People who can say, 'Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me', where can he be called a hero, Cao Cao is a very accomplished hero.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qing said: "The heroes of the Three Kingdoms, only Liu Bei and Liu Xuande." โ€

When he was a child, he watched the Three Kingdoms, and he liked Liu Bei; When he grew up and watched the Three Kingdoms, he liked Cao Cao; Now that he looks at the Three Kingdoms, he still likes Liu Bei.

On the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, no one is on the right side of Liu Bei.

"Is it Liu Bei who sells straw sandals?" The little guy is still young, his main homework is to learn words, he doesn't know anything about history, and he still knows Liu Bei from the story.

Now he only knows that Liu Bei sells straw sandals.

"Yes, that's him." Li Qing said with a smile, "Regardless of the origin of the hero, he later became a very powerful person, he is a hero and a good person." โ€

In that era when human life was like a mustard, Liu Bei had never slaughtered the city in his life, and before he died, he warned his son, 'Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small', how can such a person be hypocritical?

"Well, the kid knows, godfather will continue to tell the story."

Li Qing nodded and talked about the New Three Kingdoms again.

He likes the old Three Kingdoms more, but the new Three Kingdoms play is more brilliant, so he used the New Three Kingdoms as a blueprint and gave the little guy a 'Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu'.

The little guy listened attentively, and said unsatisfied: "Godfather, what about the back?" โ€

"It's late, let's go back to sleep." Li Qing smiled, "Ming'er is going back." โ€

"Okay then." The little guy nodded and followed Li Qing back to the house.

โ€ฆ

Next.

Li Qingtian got up before dawn, put the original copy of "Yongle Ceremony" into the carriage, and then went to buy steamed buns.

After breakfast, Li Qing drove the carriage to Jinling.

~

This time it was different from the past, he was in a hurry alone, but in order to go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qing also stepped up his horsepower.

Changing horses without stopping, day and night, I finally entered Jinling City on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When I got home, it was almost evening.

Zhu Yunwen learned that the master and senior brother had returned, and came to the front yard on crutches, with the furrows on his face, and said with a smile:

"I thought you wouldn't be back for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

"On the day of reunion, how can you do it if you don't come back?" Li Qing smiled and asked, "What about the grandson?" โ€

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips: "Coax his daughter." โ€

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded: "I'll stabilize him, and you let people move the ceremony to the study." โ€

Although Zhu Qizhen is no longer the emperor, this kind of thing can't be put on the table, in case he finds that his face is not good-looking.

"yes, okay." Zhu Yunwen was a little gloating: The fourth uncle knows under the spring, will he be so angry that he jumps to his feet?

Is...... It's fun to think about.

Zhu Yunwen happily went to ask someone to move the book.

~

"Wow, wow, wow, ......"

I heard the baby crying from afar, followed by the sound of a rattle, and then, Zhu Qizhen's helpless voice sounded:

"Oh, girl, don't cry."

"Are you hungry?"

"Possibly." Zhu Qizhen replied, and was about to get up, when he was suddenly stunned, raised his head and looked at the source of the voice.

"Li Qing?" Zhu Qizhen was surprised: "Why did you come back?" โ€

Li Qing's face sank: "You dare to call me a big name, your skin is itchy, right?" โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Isn't that exciting? Zhu Qizhen's face was scornful, and then he complained, "In front of my daughter, can't you save me some face?" โ€

"She doesn't understand it now." Li Qing rolled his eyes, walked to the side and sat on the bench under the pavilion, "The days have to be moisturized, right?" โ€

"Hey, it's moisturizing." Zhu Qizhen smiled and said with emotion: "What a fairy-like life!" โ€

"Sir, sit down for a while, and I'll send the child to the small money."

"Well, go ahead." Li Qing leaned on the bench, in a happy and relaxed mood.

I also don't go to court, but I don't have this strong feeling in Jingshi, and this is the real home.

After a while, Zhu Qizhen went and returned, sat down beside Li Qing, and asked:

"The gentleman is back, and I want to stabilize the situation, right?"

"It's stable." Li Qing let out a breath, "I've been tired in the past two years, and I have to rest when I come back this time." โ€

Zhu Qizhen was curious: "He just let you come back?" โ€

"Why not?" Li Qing teased, "Do you think everyone is like you, stingy and stingy?" โ€

"Look at you, I'm not going to ask." Zhu Qizhen asked, "How long will you stay this time?" โ€

"After the New Year."

"Hu~" Zhu Qizhen sighed, "Then he is really generous." โ€

After a pause, "I heard that the imperial court's policy of exchanging currency has begun?" โ€

"It's over, Jingshi and Tianjin Wei have been exchanged." Li Qing sneered, "It's not the money you paid back, what do you care?" โ€

"When I reigned, the copper coins minted were not money?" Zhu Qizhen retorted, "The money is still his favor, but I also have a share of the credit, besides, I didn't leave him less money." โ€

Zhu Qizhen snorted: "That money is enough for him to spend three years." โ€
