"Did he say yes?" Zhu Gaoxu asked nervously.

"Promised." Li Qing said: "He gave you two choices, one is to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the other is to ......"

"One, I'll pick one."

Li Qing smiled dumbly, didn't continue, just said:

"Take good care of your body, your body bones are not too bad, it is not difficult to live for another year or two if you get it right, the future is basically arranged, you will not have any regrets, the last period of your life, don't live up."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "I understand, but your small courtyard is really a little small, big brother... Ahem, where is your master here? ”

"This is indeed a problem," Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll find some masons and expand two more rooms."

By the way, the emperor will come to see you in two days. ”

"He looks at me?" Zhu Gaoxu was surprised, "What does he think I do?" ”

“…… How can you say that you are also a family, and you are still not happy when people come to see you, the second grandfather? Li Qing said speechlessly, "Don't worry, the current emperor is very humane, and he is much stronger than the one in Jinling in this regard." ”

Zhu Gaoxu did not doubt it, and said: "That's right, the worst is like him." ”

Li Qingyile: "Okay, the rooms are all cleaned up, you two live first, go to the street to buy what you want to eat, I won't cook for the time being." ”

"By the way, did you bring money when you came?"

"Yes." Zhu Qijin took out the large money bag in his arms and turned it upside down, making a crisp sound of 'bang-la-la'.

Li Qing judged from the voice that this was a golden bean.

"If you have money, you can do it." Li Qing nodded, "You don't need to call me if it's okay, and you don't need to bring me food, I want to buy it myself." ”

So he went out to find the mason.

…

When Li Qing came back, it was already nightfall, the guest hall was lit with candles, and a familiar voice made him feel cold:

"Yu Qian is here?"

These two people have seen it, Yu Qian scolded Han Han at the beginning, but Hao Xuan didn't make Han Han angry to death.

What happens when former enemies meet?

He wasn't worried about Yu Qian, but he was worried about Hanhan, this guy was a violent temper, he was scolded so badly in the past, with his character, he couldn't get back to the field? gōΠb.ōγg

Li Qing took three steps and made two steps, and quickly walked towards the guest hall.

When he entered the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, Han Han was very good, Yu Qian was also very good, the two of them didn't do it, their faces were calm, and the atmosphere was barely harmonious.

"What are you talking about?" Li Qing pretended to ask lightly.

Han Han didn't speak.

Yu Qian got up: "Sir, take a step to speak." ”

Li Qing glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who had a high face and a dragged look.

"Okay."

Li Qing glared at him, and followed Yu Qian to the courtyard, "What's the matter?" ”

"Does the emperor know?" Yu Qian's expression was serious.

"Yes." Li Qing nodded and quipped: "I didn't expect that after decades of this, you would still be able to recognize him." ”

Yu Qian's expression relaxed, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't recognize him, but he recognized me, if he was twenty years younger, he would have to perform all martial arts." ”

"If that's the case, you're going to be out of luck." Li Qing laughed and said, "At the same age, he can beat you, besides, who made you scold so fiercely." ”

"......" Yu Qian was in no mood to laugh, "Sir, why did you bring him here?" ”

"Don't be nervous, he's eighty-one, what else can he make?" Li Qing smiled, "By the way, is Hu Hu still there?" ”

Yu Qian shook his head: "Before the winter last year, he returned to his hometown, but this... There are still people who know him in the court, such as Wang Zhi and Wang Shangshu. ”

"You don't even recognize it, but he does?" Li Qing didn't care, "Besides, what if you really recognize it?"

Xuanzong didn't kill him, who dared to jump out and point fingers? No matter how bad he is, he is also a descendant of the Zhu family!

Also, he has no interests with anyone now, and no one will do thankless work for the sake of an irrelevant person. ”

Yu Qian nodded slowly: "The truth is this, but... But what are the benefits of doing this? ”

"What doesn't do me good, I do too much." Li Qingdao said, "The first day you knew me?" ”

Yu Qian: "......"

"I was going to have a drink with my husband, but... The appetizer has already been eaten by him. Yu Qian smiled bitterly, "Mr. Another day, you might as well go to my house, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, let's talk about it." ”

"Cheng," Li Qing said with a smile, "Tomorrow evening, you will also get off work by then, let's have a drink." ”

"That's good." Yu Qian smiled and took his leave.

Li Qing sent him out, tied the door by the way, and returned to the guest hall, where Zhu Gaoxu also finished eating the last pigeon leg.

He smacked his mouth and said, "Don't say it, Jingshi's roast pigeon is quite good." ”

"If you eat these at night, you won't be afraid of accumulating food?" Li Qing hates people who eat alone the most, except for himself.

"Look at him and get angry, I didn't scold my mother to give him face." Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "What's wrong with eating something from him?" ”

“…… Okay, you're no longer than when you were younger, go for a walk in the courtyard, don't really accumulate food. Li Qing waved his hand, "I'm going to sleep, and I have something to say." ”

Next.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, there were more than a dozen masons, Li Qing hurriedly invited these people in, and asked, "I don't have anything here, how long will it take for you to prepare the materials?" ”

"How many rooms does the master want to build?" The foreman asked.

"Two... People live, and animals live. "Li Qing wants to get one for the donkey, after all...... His donkey brother is not too young.

"I can add money, if I can, as quickly as I can."

The foreman counted with his fingers and said, "If the master is in a hurry, the small ones can call more people, but the wages are ......."

"Money is not an issue." Li Qing said.

If money is not a problem, then it will be fine, the foreman assured, "It will be completed in about a month, but the master will have to pay for the materials in advance." ”

"That's fine." Li Qing is not bad for money, and he will not take advantage of the people at the bottom, so he paid an extra thirty percent.

Rich and easy to do, it is applicable in any era, the foreman simply drew a structural drawing according to the area of the small courtyard, and after obtaining Li Qing's consent, he went back to call someone.

In the middle of the afternoon, the foundation began to be dug.

Maybe it's boring, Li Qing likes to watch the masons dig the foundation, move a small horse, and sit there, and sit there for half a day.

Zhu Gaoxu's grandfather and grandson also love to watch it, and it is obviously a boring thing, but the three of them relish it.

…

At the end of the Shen period.

Li Qing stretched his waist, got up and said, "I'll go out." ”

"Bring some food when you come back." Zhu Gaoxu was reluctant to raise his eyes, and was still looking at the digging base with relish, this thing has an inexplicable attraction, just... It's top-notch.

"I went to Yu Qian's house to drink, not to the restaurant." Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Unless you eat the leftovers." ”

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, pouted, and said, "Look, it's more difficult to let you help do something than to ascend to the sky." ”

Li Qing shook his head amusedly, his eyes were full of joy, "Let's go!" ”

There is a bureau today, Yu Qian finished his business early, and when Li Qing arrived, the wine and food were ready.

They are all old friends who have known each other for decades, and the two of them didn't have any greetings, so they drank directly.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, they naturally talked about state affairs, which was a common topic for the two.

The officialdom is still the same officialdom, the water is still muddy, but it is much better, at least the internal friction has been greatly alleviated, and there are still open and secret battles, but they are not so intense.

As I said before, after making trouble for so long, everyone is quite tired, and now there are a lot of Buddhism in the Ming officialdom.

After understanding the current situation, Li Qing asked about the situation of the grassland, which he has always been very concerned about, and the inclusion of the grassland in the territory of the Ming Dynasty is not only beneficial to the present generation, but also beneficial to the future.

Yu Qian sighed: "The situation in the grassland is very tense, but there has been no large-scale battle, and now the Warat and Tatar are very restrained, just trying to gather small tribes;

I'm afraid that for a long time in the future, they will not fight anymore, and there are only two small grassland tribes that defected to Daming last year, adding up to more than 6,000 people. ”

Li Qing nodded lightly and said, "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and they will definitely make a big one." ”

"This can be basically determined, but ......," Yu Qian worried, "the most ideal situation is that they keep fighting, and we secretly benefit, not what they make big, this situation is not conducive to my Daming!" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "How can everything go smoothly, this is already very good, people are not stupid, naturally they will not sit idly by and watch a large outflow of population, and the restraint of both sides is mostly based on this reason;

You can't be too greedy. ”

Seeing that he was still in the mood to laugh, Yu Qian asked, "Does Mr. have a belly case?" ”
