Chapter 27: Parting
…
The small courtyard is full of smoke.
The east kitchen jingle the bell, Li Qing tied an apron, skillfully stir-fried the meat dishes, and the air was filled with a rich aroma, which made people mouthful.
"Sir, almost."
"It's okay, I have a lot of food, and I'll be fine in a while." Li Qing shoveled the fried vegetables into the plate, scooped half a scoop of water and brushed the pot, skillfully raised the pot to heat the oil, and poured the cleaned vegetables into the pot.
The sound of water and oil colliding ...... around the 'zilala' was filled with the smoke mixed with the condiments, and the smell of the vegetables was mixed with the choking smell.
"Don't smell the smoke here, let's go to the guest hall." Li Qing said with a smile, "Let you taste my craftsmanship today, it's much better than the imperial kitchen." ”
Yu Qian hesitated, nodded slightly, and turned around.
Sometimes humility is not beautiful, and you have to accept the good of others.
…
Ming'er Yu Qian is leaving, and I don't know when we will see each other.
Or maybe...... It may not be seen in the future, but it must be more abundant today.
There are two people, but Li Qing has fried eight dishes and two soups, which is not rich.
When the meal was served, Li Qing took out the treasured wine, poured a glass for Yu Qian, and said with a smile: "This is still rewarded by the emperor back then, and it has been buried for more than 20 years, and it is used for you today." ”
"Sir, this is too humbling." Yu Qian hurriedly held the wine glass and said, "I will be blessed in the future, but ......"
"Don't talk about that." Li Qing said with a big grin: "I've been here for so many years, don't you still be fine, you don't have to worry about it." ”
"I'm not worried about the situation." Yu Qian shook his head lightly, "I don't have anything to worry about Mr.'s ability, but ...... Alas! When the situation is stable, Mr. may as well walk around and relax. ”
He understands Li Qing and Li Qing's suffering, he is really afraid that Li Qing will not be able to endure this...... It's a long way to go.
"Well, I think so too, in a few years," Li Qing nodded, "When the situation is completely stable, I will go to the field and do what I want to do." ”
"What does the gentleman want to do?" Yu Qian was curious.
Li Qing smiled: "Don't forget, I'm still a Taoist." ”
Yu Qian was stunned, he forgot about this stubble.
All along, Li Qing has been stirring up the temple turmoil, and everyone regards him as a power boss, even Yu Qian, who is familiar with Li Qing, has forgotten that Li Qing still has this identity.
Well... Sounds like a good one...... Yu Qian nodded with a smile and raised his glass, "Mr. Jing." ”
"Cheers." Li Qing raised his glass with a smile.
'Ding! The two of them drank it all, and their smiles grew stronger.
Li Qing greeted with a smile: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, taste how it tastes." ”
"Hmm." Yu Qian took a pair of chopsticks, chewed for a while, and praised: "It's great, the imperial kitchen can't do it." ”
"Right? I think so too. Li Qing smiled and said, "Eat more if it's delicious." ”
"Hmm... Sir, too. ”
……
I ate this meal for a long time, saying that it was a meal, but it was more about chatting and reminiscing......
It wasn't until the end of Shen Shi that Yu Qian got up and said, "Sir, Yu Qian has taken his leave." ”
"When will Ming'er leave?"
"No need to send it." Yu Qian said with a smile, "I've known each other for so many years, why should I care about these vain? ”
Li Qing knew that he wanted to get a good night's sleep, so he didn't ask any further.
"Slow down on the road."
"yes, okay."

The next day, it was just dawn.
Yu Qian's door was full of people, several carriages of all sizes, and more than 100 guards with knives and brocade clothes.
Zhu Jianshen was quite interesting, and specially sent a brocade guard to escort him.
Soon, all the luggage was loaded into the wagon.
Yu Mian looked at the home where he had lived for more than ten years, and felt reluctant in his heart, he grew up in Shuntian when he was a child, and he had a deep affection for this place, and he was ...... There is no man in the world who can resist the temptation of the temple.
My father's identity and status are all top-notch, just one sentence, I believe that the emperor will definitely open a convenient door for him because of his father's hard work.
And the court officials will not say anything, because my father has this qualification.
But......
"What, you want to stay?" Yu Qian saw his son's thoughts.
Yu Mian was silent for a while, and nodded slightly: "Father, my son also wants to be loyal to the country." ”
"Hehe......" Yu Qian smiled and sighed lightly: "Being an official, especially being an official in the court, is not an easy task, and you are not the material to be an official, because your father doesn't let you be an official, it's for your own good." ”
paused, "Maybe you feel that you are ruthless for your father, or for the sake of your own reputation, which is why you have been wronged, but the truth is ...... Alas, when you really become an official, you will regret it. ”
Yu Mian said seriously: "Father, the child will not be humiliated by the family. ”
"People in the temple, many things can't help themselves!" Yu Qian smiled bitterly, "I have been an official for my father for so many years, and I know how deep the water is, and my father doesn't want you to be with the light, nor do I want you to be excluded everywhere." ”
"Children don't have to be that bad." Yu Mian was a little unconvinced, "Mr. Li can do it, father can do it, why can't the child?" ”
Yu Qian shook his head amusedly: "How many Mr. Li are there in the world?" A large part of the reason why you can succeed as a father is due to luck, but you don't have such a good life;
Actually, the identity of Yu Qian's son does not help you much, and it will even have a counterproductive effect, you should also understand that there are many people who offend for your father;
My father is old, and he doesn't have a few years to live, so I really don't want you to wade into this troubled water. ”
After a pause, Yu Qian affirmed his son, "You are very good, and your father is also satisfied with you, but ...... You are not the material for being an official, poetry and articles are more suitable for you. ”
Yu Mian was disappointed in his heart, and nodded lightly: "Everything is arranged by my father." ”
"Hmm... Let's go. Yu Qian smiled, his smile relaxed.
He whispered to himself: "It's finally time to leave this power field, alas... Looking at the court, how many people are sincere for the country and the people? Most people are just driven by greed and reduced to slaves to power. ”
After so many years, he is also tired, and now he is crippled, and he can no longer be loyal to the country, and he desperately wants to return to his hometown to live in his old age.
Merely...... In the end, I was a little reluctant and distressed.
He can live for a long time, but Li Qing is ......
"See Yongqing Hou!"
Yu Qian came back to his senses and looked at the door.
After a while, Li Qing crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard.
Yu Mian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Li." ”
"Huh...... Less courtesy, less courtesy. Li Qing waved his hand, quickly walked up to Yu Qian, looked up and down, and quipped: "This is a big circle!" ”
Yu Qian nodded with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb Mr.'s dream." ”
"Huh? Anyway. Li Qing took out a prescription from his sleeve, "This is what I prepared according to your body, you take good care of your body, and when it is clean here, I will go to you for a drink." ”
Yu Qian took the recipe and said with a smile: "I'll try my best." ”
Finally unloaded the burden, Yu Qian's whole person relaxed, but the deep furrow between his eyebrows could not be smoothed by a smile.
Li Qing was pleased, happy for Yu Qian, "Packed up?" ”
"Hmm."
"Let's go, then." Li Qing said, "I won't delay you, go home and write a letter to report safety." ”
"yes, okay." Yu Qian put away the prescription and took two steps back.
Li Qing returned the salute.
Looking up again, Li Qingwen smiled: "Precious." ”
Yu Qian nodded: "Mr. cherishes." ”
~
The carriage faded away and disappeared into the alley.
Li Qing sighed lightly, feeling more and more lonely and lonely in his heart......
Yiqing Building,
Listen to the music of the people and watch the Oiran twist his waist...... However, Li Qing sadly found that he had gotten rid of low-level interests, not pretending to be high, but really not being interested.
In the end, I only drank a belly of wine......
What's even sadder is that he can't get drunk even if he doesn't have real anger.
~
…
Under the shade of the tree, Li Qing leaned on the recliner, his right hand hanging, the book in his hand had fallen to the ground, he was obviously sleeping soundly, but he was still deeply tired.
Zhu Jianshen made a silent gesture, walked to the stone table opposite Li Qing and sat down, looking at Li Qing like this, his resentment dissipated, and he felt a kind of distress.
Jin Yiwei looked weird, but he didn't dare to say anything, and when he saw the emperor's signal, he bowed silently and withdrew from the courtyard.
Zhu Jianshen was very patient, so he sat like that, observing the sleeping Li Qing.
'It's weird, this guy doesn't do anything all day, why does he look so tired? ’
Zhu Jianshen wondered in his heart, and thought evilly: Aren't you tired in the Qinglou?
"When did the emperor come?" Li Qing opened his mouth coldly, and Zhu Jianshen, who was arranging him in his heart, was so excited that he almost sat on the ground.
"When did you wake up?"
"Just woke up." Li Qing yawned, "What did the emperor come to me for?" ”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Jianshen became angry and snorted: "Yongqinghou, don't you think you are too much? ”
"Where's the excess?"
"How many days, how many days?" Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "Yu Qian has been gone for half a month, have you gone to court?" Not once! ”
"Has it been so long?" Li Qing frowned and muttered to himself, sat up and asked, "Is there a big event happening in the government?" ”
"Nope."
"That's fine." Li Qing lay back again, and said lazily: "What is it okay for me to go to the court?" ”
Zhu Jian was deeply angry: "Okay, you're playing like this, aren't you?" ”
"Look, it's urgent." Li Qing pursed his lips, "Is there a letter from the grassland?" ”
"Ang, I wrote the day before yesterday that I would be back in mid-August or early September." Zhu Jianshen said, "This harvest is quite fruitful, and it is estimated that the population of the Ming Dynasty will be more than 50,000 people, and I have asked the military department to allocate another batch of food in case people are hungry." ”
Li Qing bowed slightly, and asked again: "How is the situation in Warat?" ”
"You...... You get up first. Zhu Jianshen couldn't get used to Li Qing's posture, and he collapsed there, like an uncle.
This meeting seemed to be reporting to work and listening to Li Qing's orders.
Really...... Can't tell the difference between the big and the small, right? Zhu Jianshen was so angry that he couldn't do it.
Li Qing sat up and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
“…… Varat won, Tatar lost. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Li Qing frowned, "What about the letter?" ”
"In the palace, if you want to know the details, I will show you tomorrow." Zhu Jianshen begged helplessly, "It's almost done, it's time to go to the court to work." ”
"What are you asking me to do?" Li Qing said with a smile, "If you really encounter something, I will definitely help, but ...... Don't care so much about the sense of ceremony. ”
"When Yu Qian didn't leave, you didn't say that." Zhu Jian took a deep breath and said lightly: "I found an errand for you in the military department. ”
"The military department is still in the book?"
