went to Jingshi Street, Li Qing found out that he was tricked, this little girl was pretending, but he was not angry, but a little embarrassed.

No matter how eccentric and capricious the little girl is, she can't escape the limitations of the times.

She is not afraid of life, but afraid that the woman who has not left the cabinet will show up alone and be criticized.

Although her background is so prominent, she is still firmly bound by the background of the times and does not dare to disobey it easily.

There are some things he can change, and some things he can't change, and if he really comes strongly, he is afraid that it will backfire.

At least, he is not ready to change this little girl in front of him, if he really wants to instill in her the thoughts of the afterlife, she will not be able to go to heaven?

"What do you want to eat?" Li Qing asked.

"Whatever."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, how could he ...... Sound familiar?

Zhu Wanqing didn't pay attention to his expression, immersed herself in Jingshi Street, looked at this lively scene, and sighed:

"It's worthy of being a Jingshi, no worse than Jinling, it's really lively......

has been holding back in the small courtyard for so long, and at this moment she is like a dog with a loose leash, which is called a cheerful.

Li Qing smiled, and suddenly realized that his love for his younger generation was indeed too little, so he said: "In the future, if Uncle Li is not busy, he will often take you out for a walk." ”

"Really?"

"If you don't be a demon, or you'll ......"

"Break my leg?"

"It's good to know!" Li Qing snorted, "Okay, let's eat, and it will be dark if you grind again." ”

~

The restaurant is not big, the two chose a seat by the window, Zhu Wanqing clicked more than ten dishes, and did not stop......

Li Qing stretched out his hand to take the menu, and removed more than half of it with a dark face, leaving only four dishes and one soup.

Stingy, really stingy...... Zhu Wan cleared her stomach, pouted her small mouth, and then held her chin and looked at the street outside with relish, her mouth chattering.

Li Qing said a couple of sentences at first, and then saw that her little mouth was endless, so he simply ignored her, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the dishes were served one after another, and Zhu Wanqing exclaimed: "What a ...... portion"

The northern dishes are sufficient, two of the four dishes are served in small pots, and even the fish is more than twice the size of Jinling.

Only then did Zhu Wanqing realize why Uncle Li had removed more than half of it, and neither of them could finish these four dishes.

"It's not early, hurry up and eat, let's go back early after eating." Li Qing picked up the chopsticks and made them, which was not polite at all.

"Uncle Li, you leave me some." Zhu Wanqing hurriedly started, and at the same time, dispelled the idea of not being able to finish eating, looking at this posture, Uncle Li can be liquidated alone.

This time, she was exceptionally quiet.

Uncle Li is bored, and if he says more, he has to eat less.

In other words, the northern cuisine is quite delicious, spicy and fragrant, although it is a little heavy, but it is very delicious...... Zhu Wanqing ate happily.

She hadn't eaten such a delicious meal in a long time......

When I went out of the restaurant, I was full of burps, and my face was still unsatisfied.

"Uncle Li, let's come to the restaurant every day to eat in the future, right?" Zhu Wanqing asked hopefully, "It's not expensive, and our family is not bad for money." ”

Li Qing shook his head slightly: "When you come to eat every day, you will find that it becomes less delicious, so ah, once in a while, the next time the restaurant will be." ”

"It's really not good, niece please."

"I'm too lazy to run all day."

“……”

There was still a short period of time before dark, and Zhu Wanqing finally came out once, so she was naturally reluctant to waste it, and walked around the street again.

Li Qing didn't urge her, the dog had to slip away after being leashed for a long time.

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, the orange sunset gradually faded, and the two of them walked home, Zhu Wanqing bought a bunch of small things, carried a small package, and chattered all the way, very happy......

Li Qing recalled all kinds of past events, and his expression was much gentler and less severe.

…

Entering the cabinet did not take up too much time for Li Qing, and it was less than an hour and a half a day to bring it back, and he went out at the end of the hour, and he did not delay coming back for lunch at noon.

He still spends most of his time in the small courtyard, but now he is much busier than before.

Busy writing books......

Sometimes I feel bored, and I will go out to walk the dog...... Go around the street with the little girl to soothe your mood.

In the blink of an eye, midsummer is coming.

The branches and leaves of the fruit trees in the small courtyard are luxuriant, and it is a little annoying to know that the cicadas are constantly singing on it......

Under the shade of the tree, Li Qing opened his eyes, looked up at the mottled green branches and leaves, and muttered depressedly: "You keep calling, I'm leaving, right?" Damn, I can't afford to mess with it. ”

"Uncle Li, are you going to the street?" Zhu Wanqing greeted her, with a full face: Take me with you.

"What is there to visit on this hot day?" Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Take a walk around, and your little face will be dark for you." ”

"I can use an umbrella."

"Don't make a fuss, I'm out for something."

"Uncle Li, you're not going to Yiqing Building, are you?" Zhu Wanqing grinned and joked.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Some people can't give a good face, there is a saying, oh yes, wild boars can't eat fine chaff." ”

"Uncle Li, why are you scolding?" Zhu Wan cleared his breath.

"Dare to tease the elders, it's polite enough if you don't beat you." Li Qing snorted and walked out, "The battle on your eldest brother's side is basically over, and he will soon embark on the return journey, if you don't want him to see you embarrassed, you'd better be respectful, no big or small......"

"Uncle Li, where are you going? When will you be back? Zhu Wanqing stretched her neck and asked.

"Hanlin Temple, before dinner." Li Qing walked out of the door, turned a corner, and his back disappeared.

Zhu Wanqing looked back at the door of the wing room that Uncle Li forgot to lock, rolled her eyes, and hurriedly trotted to the door, grabbed the door frame and looked out, and soon, Uncle Li's back disappeared into the alley.

Finally got me caught...... Zhu Wanqing couldn't help but show her shiny little tiger teeth.

She leashed the door and tiptoed towards Li Qing's room, her heart and liver pounding......

'Squeak~' The door was pushed open, Zhu Wanqing took a deep breath, and stepped in.

"Whew~"

Zhu Wanqing reflexively closed the door, leaned back against the door and breathed heavily, and the excitement in her heart couldn't be calmed down.

At this time, she was both nervous and excited......

After a while, her heartbeat slowed down, and Zhu Wanqing patted her little face and stepped forward bravely......

Under the pillow, no!

Bookcase, no!

Drawer, not yet ......

"Strange, where did Uncle Li hide his things?" Zhu Wanqing frowned, and stomped her feet in distress: "It's really ...... to hide it from your niece and daughter."

I can't give up, look for it again, it's a rare opportunity today...... Well?

Zhu Wanqing suddenly noticed something, hesitated and stomped her foot again.

"Empty ——!"

"Hey, hey......" In an instant, Zhu Wanqing's annoyed expression turned to smugness, and she smiled evilly: "Uncle Li, you are really hiding deep enough, but in the end, I am a step ahead!" ”

She leaned down and took a closer look at the wooden floor, and sure enough, the gap in the floor was larger than the surrounding area.

Right here......

The little girl was extremely excited, and the mystery of many years was about to be revealed.

"Huhu~"

She tilted her face and pouted a few times before she began to move.

She barely inserted her little finger into the slit and flicked it up, then lifted the floor, revealing a wooden box in front of her.

"Found it!"

She was even more glad that the wooden box was unlocked.

Zhu Wanqing took out the small wooden box, blew the dust on the surface, and opened the box......

A book that had a certain thickness but no name came into view, Zhu Wanqing carefully took it out and opened the book cover.

"The Fifteenth Year of Hongwu, the End of Summer ......"

~

Hallym Temple.

Li Qing went through the freshly released Zhongzong record and asked, "This is the last edition, right?" ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "Yes, if Master Hou has no opinion, he will have to make a final summary." ”

"Don't worry, I've been in the loop for more than a year, and a considerable part of it hasn't had time to see yet." Li Qing waved his hand and said, "You can be busy with the preparation work before the summary first, and I will review it as soon as possible." ”óΠъ.oяＧ

Li Dongyang said yes, and seeing that Li Qing had no intention of leaving, he asked, "Does Master Hou still have orders?" ”

"Nothing to command." Li Qing smiled and asked, "You have been in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, what do you think of the government?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Li Dongyang never expected Li Qing to ask this, and froze there for a while, but soon, he realized that this was a test.

Li Dongyang tried to calm down his agitated mood, calmed himself down, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask where Hou Ye is pointing?" ”

"Whatever, as long as it's within the scope of government politics." Li Qing smiled, "You don't have to be nervous, I'm just idle and bored, and there is no one else here, and your mouth is in my ears." ”

"That's... The students were emboldened. ”

Li Qing's head bowed: "Speak freely." ”

Li Dongyang sighed secretly, once again showed the seriousness of the scientific expedition that year, and muttered:

"Today, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, whether it is industry or agriculture, compared with the beginning of the founding of the country, it is much stronger......"

Balabala......

It's all good and obedient.

Li Qing was not in a hurry, just listening, he knew that Li Dongyang would definitely say but.

"However......" Li Dongyang glanced at Li Qing, and saw that his expression was calm, and he looked like he was waiting for the following, and his courage was a lot stronger.

continued: "However, it seems to be prosperous, but in fact, the national treasury has become poorer and poorer. ”

Li Dongyang said: "During the Taizu period, food could be converted into manpower, and people could be mobilized if they had food, even if they were soldiers on the battlefield, they only needed to pay a small amount of extra money;

With the introduction of new crops, hunger has been basically solved, and military spending has continued to rise, as well as on construction in all aspects...... The wealth of the national treasury has skyrocketed. ”

With a sigh, Li Dongyang said worriedly, "With the progress of maritime trade, the labor cost has been raised in a straight line, of course, this is a good thing for the people, but it can be for the country...... Not really. ”

Li Qing bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

Li Dongyang was encouraged and emboldened, "In fact, officialdom has also been deeply affected, and the high profits of trade have made too many people see that it is profitable, or directly or indirectly involved......

The alternative corruption in the Ming officialdom is much more serious now than that of Taizu. ”

Speaking of this, Li Dongyang sighed: "If today's officialdom can maintain the integrity of the Taizu period, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be more than that!" ”

Li Qing held his chin and asked, "Do you have a way to deal with this phenomenon?" ”
