Chapter 54: The Daily Life of the Hou Mansion
'Hmm~ah~' The donkey screamed happily, and was about to go to Yu Qian's house, and it was very happy.
Yu Qian's family, it doesn't have to work, let alone listen to people's chatter, there is the best forage every day, and the old watch next door is crying, indulging in dignity.
The main one is a treat!
"Brother Donkey, I'm going, I can't get together until next year, don't think about me." Li Qing stroked its smooth hair and whispered.
"Hmm~ah~" The donkey cooperated with the call twice, and arched Li Qing impatiently, asking him to take him out quickly.
Don't be sensational, take me to Yu Qian's house!
"Follow me all these years, you...... Hey, what are you doing with me? Is it itchy? Li Qing's emotions came up, and he was interrupted by this animal, and he felt no emotion at all, and became annoyed.
So, he beat the donkey.

Yu Qian has passed the age of sixties, most of his hair is white, the furrows on his face are deepening day by day, and he looks older than his actual age, but fortunately, his body is still quite tough.
The two sat opposite each other and toasted.
"This farewell, we won't see each other until next year, so Mr. should take care of yourself." Yu Qian was reluctant, for a person of his age, nearly a year has been a long time.
Li Qing said slowly: "It's you who should take care, take care of your body more, so that you can better handle political affairs." โ
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "Many people of my age have been buried in the ground, who knows what will happen in the future?" โ
"Don't just compare yourself to the worst, you're still young." Li Qing comforted, "For example, Hu Hu, he is eighty-five years old, isn't his body still tough and strong?"
You're more than twenty years younger than him, and you're going to live a long life. โ
"Hu Shangshu's body and bones are not as good as Mr. thought, we talked about it yesterday, and he is ready to return to his hometown." Yu Qian sighed, "It's not easy to be more than eighty!" โ
Li Qing was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "It's not easy, if I'm not mistaken, he seems to be a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, and he can stand firm in the court for so long, looking at all dynasties, there are few people." โ
After a pause, "You don't have to have the intention of returning to your hometown, you are eighty-five, and you are only in your early sixties." โ
Yu Qian said with a smile: "Sir, the account is not calculated like this, people and people's physiques are different, but then again, even if I want to return to my hometown, the emperor will not allow it!" โ
This is the truth, Zhu Qiyu now reuses and trusts only Li Qing and Yu Qian.
Li Qing has a long life, and it doesn't matter if he rests for a year and a half, but Yu Qian is different, it is one day less, and of course Zhu Qiyu will not let him go.
"It's not easy for you, either." Li Qing sighed and sighed with emotion, "By the way, the situation in the Mobei grassland hasn't changed much recently, right?" โ
"The contradictions are deepening day by day, but the fighting situation has eased." Yu Qian said, "In the past half a year, the number of grassland tribes who have taken refuge in Daming has decreased significantly, and looking at this posture, it will decrease later." โ
Li Qing nodded lightly: "This is normal, everything will gradually change over time, for better or worse, and it is impossible to keep the same frequency all the time." โ
"Will there be a situation in the future, without the Ming Dynasty where the grassland tribes take refuge?" Yu Qianchuan's eyebrows habitually furrowed.
"I don't rule it out, but I think it's the calm before the storm." Li Qing took a sip of wine and said quietly, "Warat has spent so much, it is impossible to give up halfway, Warat is still dreaming of unifying the grassland;
And with their suppression of the natives of the grassland over the years, the hatred of the grassland tribes towards them has reached the point of irreconcilability, even if Warat wants to stop, he can't stop. โ
Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were clear: "After all, the two sides are going to fight for a big and small king, and no one will stop halfway, now they are just accumulating strength." โ
"When do you think it will be, sir?" Yu Qian asked.
"Where do I know where to go?" Li Qing said angrily: "It may be a year, it may be two years, but it should be within three years, and it will never exceed five years." โ
Yu Qian: "......"

Li Qing embarked on the road back to Jinling.
This time, he didn't deliberately hurry, the vacation is very long, there is no need to be in a hurry, in the past, in order to hurry, he missed the scenery along the way, but now he can just enjoy it.
Li Qing didn't walk fast, he stopped when he had a meal, and sometimes he would stay in a hotel at night, which was very relaxing.
When I arrived in Jinling, it was already mid-April and it was summer.
The early summer is not too hot, and there are many trees planted in the Hou Mansion, and it is very comfortable to sleep at night listening to the insects and birds.
However, within a few days of the comfortable days, Li Qing was dragged by Zhang Sloppy to cook, the kind that cooks twice a day.
Thanks to the little old man for not eating breakfast, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep.
On this day, Li's father came over as a guest, during which he talked about Li Hong.
"This child is sixteen years old, and he has reached the age of starting a family." Father Li smiled and said, "It just so happens that Brother Li is also here, and we as fathers are all in check." โ
"Is there a suitable person?" Li Qing asked.
"Last year, there were people who said goodbye, and this year there is an endless stream, and there are a few good ones." Father Li stroked his beard, showing a satisfied look, and then, remembering something, his face was replaced by annoyance: "But this kid is very axial, what do you say to make your own decisions, isn't this a big rebellion?" โ
Marriage is a major event, and the parents are in charge, which has been deeply rooted for thousands of years, and it is not an exaggeration for Father Li to say that it is a big rebellion.
Of course, he also knew that most of the reason why his son was like this was due to Li Qing's influence, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only blame all the faults on his son.
"Brother Li, now that you have come just in time, I can't control that bastard boy, you have to pay more attention." Father Li kicked the ball to Li Qing.
He didn't mean to dump the pot, mainly because he felt that his son was like this, and it was all Li Qing's habit.
Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Hong'er may already have a favorite woman, have you asked him?" โ
"This ...... I did ask. Father Li calmed down his excitement and said slowly, "I thought so too, but he said no." โรณฮ ั.oั๏ผง
"Could it be that he doesn't dare, or is he embarrassed to say it?"
Father Li shook his head: "It shouldn't be, I promised him that as long as he is a normal lady, I will agree to ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something, and said angrily: "Shouldn't this little beast secretly wander around the Qinglou and look at it...... O iniquity! โ
"Brother Li, miss the company!" Li's father hurriedly gave up his hand and couldn't wait to go back and beat his son.
Li Qing was stunned and laughed dumbly.
At this time, a pretty little girl walked in, "Uncle Li, my father invited you to play chess for tea." โ
"......" Li Qing corrected: "Xiao Wanqing, I am older than your father, you should call me uncle." โ
I can't bear it if I have a seniority or something, but age is the bottom line, according to this name, Zhu Qizhen has become Li Qing's eldest brother.
Is...... Great rebellion!
The more Li Qing thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't take care of the little girl anymore, so she couldn't wait to go to Zhu Qizhen to settle accounts.
The little girl is not very old, but she is very clever, and when she saw Li Qing like this, she immediately realized that Lao Tzu was going to be unlucky.
She knew that her father was not Li Qing's opponent, so she hurried to find Zhang Sloppy.
Zhang Sloppy is boxing, he likes to exercise very much, because he exercises more, and he can eat more delicious food at meals.
"Grandpa... Oh no, Uncle Li is going to beat my father. The little girl panted and said, "Go and see." โ
"What's so nice about that, he's stabbed your dad before...... Ahem. Zhang paused and said with a smile, "Little girl, do you want to learn boxing from grandpa?" โ
The little girl's eyes rolled, and she said, "If Grandpa persuades Uncle Li, I will learn." โ
"Really?"
"Children don't lie to grandpa." The little girl nodded.

"Sun thief, you're very good at playing." Li Qing rolled up his arms and sleeves, looking like he was going to repair Zhu Qizhen, "What, you still want to be my eldest brother?" โ
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, you have something to say, what are you doing?" โ
He retreated and said angrily: "I kindly asked my daughter to invite you over for tea, just a title, are you there?" โ
"Besides, the uncle is young, and people who are older don't like it...... No, the main thing is that you look younger than me. Zhu Qizhen said.
Li Qingcai didn't eat this, and hummed: "Don't talk nonsense, come over and lead the fight, I can show mercy to my subordinates and not hit you in the face." โ
"You, you're deceiving people too much." Zhu Qizhen broke the defense, "Do you care about the title, you just want to beat me, you are shameless, you are ......"
"How daring!" Li Qing was happy, "Since you say that I am shameless, then I can only do what you wish, and see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you into a pig's head." โ
Zhu Qizhen's eyes were looking around, while planning an escape route, "Don't, didn't you say that you won't be slapped in the face?" โ
"I'm shameless!" Li Qingyin stepped forward with a sympathetic smile.
Zhu Qizhen ran away, but after only one step, he was picked up and slipped up, and he immediately changed his strategy, "I have something to say, can you let me finish speaking?" โ
"Well, let's talk about it." Li Qing grabbed him by the collar, not afraid of him running.
"Okay, I admit that I have the element of taking advantage, but ......" Zhu Qizhen glanced at his daughter and dragged the old man over, and his waist suddenly stiffened, "But you can't beat me either!" โ
"Yo, it's kind of." Li Qing smiled angrily, "I promise not to kill you." โ
"Old man, take care of your apprentice!" Zhu Qizhen hurriedly yelled.
"Don't hit my dad." The little girl was the first to respond, followed by Zhang Sloppy's voice, "Qingzi, give the teacher a face, forget it this time." โ
Li Qing turned around and saw an old man and a young man coming, so he let go of his hand and snorted softly: "I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, you kid will wait for me." โ
"It's sixteen today, aren't you even counting your days?" Zhu Qizhen knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply pretended.
You'd better be so tough next time...... Li Qing pursed his lips and walked to the side of the bench and sat down.
Zhu Qizhen simply sat down next to Li Qing, with a whimsical expression: You beat me?
And let the bullets fly a little longer...... Li Qing smiled coldly, too lazy to bother with him anymore.
Zhu Qizhen rarely saw Li Qing deflated, his tail went up to the sky, and he beckoned to his daughter proudly, "Girl, come here." โ
The little girl jumped up and ran over and called out sweetly, "Daddy, Uncle Li." โ
"It's really my good girl." Zhu Qizhen was even happier, and picked up his daughter and wanted to kiss her, but considering that her daughters were nine years old, she gave up again, only touched her head, and put it down again.
At this moment, another voice sounded:
"Godfather, godfather!"
Li Qing followed the prestige, and saw his godson coming angrily, his left cheek was red, obviously he was smacked in the mouth.
He quickly walked to the pavilion and began to complain: "Godfather, someone bullied me, do you care?" โ
Li Qingyile: "Who?" โ
"Don't care who it is, you don't care if someone bullies your son?" Li Hong stretched out his face, "Look at it, it's all red." โ
"Big brother, you're getting beaten too?" Zhu Wanqing asked.
Why do you want to use it...... Li Hong instinctively went to see Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen: (???? ใธ????) Lao Tzu was not beaten!
