Once a person is self-motivated, the posture he presents will immediately be completely different from usual.

Yu Mian is in his early forties, and the positivity he shows at this time is not much worse than when Li Hong was determined to enter the official career.

In this regard, Yu Qian, who was a father, was quite surprised; Of course, more surprises.

Li Qing is not surprised, with Yu Qian's background, how can Yu Mian be too bad, he is just a goal.

After Li Qing's reconciliation, the unhappiness of the father and son was alleviated too much, and the father was kind and filial to the son.

This time, not only does Yu Mian have a goal to strive for, but Yu Qian also has something to do, and he is no longer so boring.

Li Qing stayed for a few more days and said goodbye.

Yu Qian was a little reluctant, but he didn't keep it too much, but said: "Mr. will come to me again when he has time in the future, nothing else, good wine and good food are enough." ”

"Haha...... Will come back soon. Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Stay." ”

"Mr. ......"

Li Qing turned around.

"Now that you've unloaded your baggage, let's be chic." Yu Qian said, "Be open-minded, relax ......"

"Hmm... Let's go! ”

Li Qing turned his head and drove the carriage......

~

Jinling, the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongqing.

The door opened, and the servant asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Find your Master Zhu and ask him to pick me up."

“…… Wait a minute. "The little guy has never seen Li Qing, but he doesn't dare to offend, just because the carriage is from the official family at a glance.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qizhen came.

In his forties, he was slightly blessed, but he walked with dragon and tiger steps, full of energy, and full of energy.

"Sir... How did you get back? Zhu Qizhen was surprised.

Li Qing: "Then I'll go?" ”

"It's not... I mean......" Zhu Qizhen sneered, "I'm just too surprised, sir, please come in, please come in......"

Zhu Qizhen took over the work of the little maid, nodded and invited Li Qing to enter the door, which was called a flattery...... vividly and vividly taught a lesson to the little guy on the side.

- That's how the little guy is trained!

However, the little guy's jaw was about to fall off, and he didn't learn the essence at all.

Guest Hall.

The two sat down separately, and Li Qing was the main seat.

Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, rubbed his hands and asked, "Sir, this is back, but ...... For the sake of the Jiangnan maritime trade? ”

For Li Qing, he was really stunned, this was instinct.

Li Qing shook his head and asked, "By the way, have you participated in maritime trade?" ”

"Just started, isn't this the court letting go." Zhu Qizhen smiled unnaturally and asked, "What does Mr. think...... But no? ”

"Participate, participate, now Shen Xin is not here, with the family's financial resources, no ......one is scared," Li Qing nodded lightly.

With nearly 100 years of accumulation and decades of operation, Li Qing's family assets can be called terrifying, and he can't compare with a super rich man like Shen Xin, but he has the strength to participate in the maritime business.

"Making money is supplemented, and benefiting the people is the main thing." Li Qing set the tone.

"Don't worry, this gentleman," Zhu Qizhen nodded: "I participate in maritime business, and I also have the intention of doing my best for the people." ”

Li Qing bowed his head and pointed to the carriage outside, "There are more than 3,000 taels of gold and more than 20,000 silver tickets in there, you can use them for business." ”

How much wool have you picked up over the years...... Zhu Qizhen was a little painful: Zhu Jianshen, this cub, is really a loser......

"What, you're distressed?"

"Where's the word? Nothing! Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stated his position, "I am Master Zhu now, how dare the people of Shengdou dare to work on national affairs." ”

Li Qing pouted: "Okay, not all this money was given by him, not even a third." ”

Ah~ It's comfortable...... Zhu Qizhen smiled, "Sir, in fact, the family is not short of money, with our current family resources...... When converted into silver, it is about six million taels;

The amount of liquid silver alone is as high as more than 3.5 million ......"

Zhu Qizhen reported the accounts, elaborated on the asset ratio, and explained:

"When I took over, due to the sluggish market, there were only two restaurants left in the family, but then the economy improved, and I saw Daming... Especially here in Jinling, it is developing rapidly;

Therefore, I spent more than 100,000 taels to buy the property...... Over the years, the value has nearly doubled. ”

Li Qing nodded and smiled: "You are quite forward-looking. ”

"Everywhere, it is all taught by the gentleman." Zhu Qizhen said reservedly.

After a pause, he said tentatively: "Sir...... this time Is it a leave of absence? ”

"Well, it's been a long time off...... I'm going to take a break. Li Qing sighed and said, "Your son is much more worry-free than yours." ”

Zhu Qizhen's face was sneering, "It's the best, Mr. should also rest, then...... Have a drink at noon? ”

Li Qing was about to speak, when suddenly a shadow came over, which made his eyes light up.

I haven't seen her for two years, and the little girl has changed a lot, and the whole has grown, and the water spirit has become more and more beautiful, as if she has changed from a beauty embryo to a beauty.

"Uncle Li." Zhu Wan screamed sweetly.

"Well...," Li Qing said with a smile, "This time, she has become a big girl." ”

Zhu Wanqing grinned and said, "If you shake it again, you will become an old girl." ”

"Girl...!" Zhu Qizhen frowned, showing displeasure.

But his deterrent effect on his daughter is almost zero, Zhu Wanqing doesn't care at all, and makes a grimace at him,

People have grown up, and their personalities are still so jumpy.

Zhu Wanqing walked to the chair next to her father and sat down, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, my nephew and daughter will have a drink with you at noon?" ”

"Go, go, what kind of wine does the girl's family drink?" Zhu Qizhen scolded, "There is no girl who looks like her, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to get married." ”

Zhu Wanqing snorted: "The two-year period has arrived. ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and then ran away angrily.

"Daddy, why are you going?"

"Your Uncle Li is back, I'll let someone prepare the wine and food!" Zhu Qizhen didn't look back, looking at his appearance, he should have scolded his son-in-law very dirtily behind his back.

After Zhu Wanqing said this, Li Qing remembered that this year was the year of good things agreed upon by the two juniors.

That's fast......

"Uncle Li, before you come back, did you send a letter to your eldest brother?" Zhu Wanqing asked hopefully.

"Uh... No. Li Qing settled down and said with a smile, "What, are you in such a hurry to get married?" ”

"Nothing." Zhu Wanqing blushed shyly, "Just ask." ”

Li Qing pouted: "Don't worry, when he said that he would get married this year, he would never break his promise, Hong'er was raised by me, and there is no problem with his character." ”

"Hmm......" The little girl nodded shyly, "Uncle Li, why don't you say it in advance when you come back, the family is well prepared." ”

Li Qing smiled: "What is there to prepare, I'm not a big man." ”

"If you weren't a big man, then there wouldn't be a big man in the whole Ming Dynasty." Zhu Wanqing wiped honey on her small mouth.

The little girl has grown up and speaks very well, and she is no longer the angry and unruly little princess she was at the beginning.

Of course, thanks to Li Qing, she was cured of her princess disease.

…

midday

Li Qing and Zhu Qizhen chatted with each other under the pavilion,

Qian also came over to say a few words to Li Qing, and toasted a glass of wine, and then dragged the twittering girl away, leaving space for the two to chat......

"Sir, since you have taken leave indefinitely, that means that the court is now stable, right?" Zhu Qizhen still cares about court affairs in the end, although he is not the emperor anymore.

"It's all said, your son is better than you." Li Qing glanced at him and snorted: "He is calmer than you, and his political skills are only stronger than you, and I haven't contributed much." ”

The contribution is still contributing, and there are still a lot, but, compared to the hand-in-hand with Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianshen really makes Li Qing feel at ease.

Zhu Qizhen looked ashamed, and said softly: "It was I who failed the Ming Dynasty, the first emperor, and ...... Failed sir. ”

Li Qing was silent and sighed: "Don't talk about that, just live your little life, you shouldn't worry about that." ”

"I understand, I'm quite content..."Zhu Qizhen nodded and said with a wry smile: "But sometimes I think about it... I'm sorry for the people...... It's a lot, and the ambitions I made when I was a child...... Alas. ”

"Okay, don't be pretentious." Li Qing tilted his neck and drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and said, "If you really want to atone for your sins, just fine... Do business, save more money for me, and produce more jobs to benefit the people. ”

"Hmm... Don't worry, sir, I'll do my best to do this. Zhu Qizhen assured.

After a pause, he asked, "Sir, do you want to tell me about you... Girl? ”

"No, you don't."

"Then when you want to enter the court, or if you want to do something...... What to do? Zhu Qizhen sighed: "I don't doubt Mr.'s ability, but there is a big difference between whether he has it or not!" ”

Li Qing nodded: "She almost already knows, but it's better not to pierce this layer of window paper." ”

"That's it!" Zhu Qizhen suddenly said, "No wonder she always knocks on the side to inquire about you, it turns out that ...... When did it happen? ”

"When I was writing in my diary the year before last." Li Qing said.

"Diary?"

"It's just... Living note, to be precise, is the politics of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Qizhen understood now and asked: "Are you writing this, do you write this for yourself, or do you ......?"

"I wrote it for the Ming Emperor, but the Hongwu Dynasty hasn't finished writing it yet," Li Qing stretched his waist, "I'll start writing when I've had enough." ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned and said in surprise: "Mr. is still leaving?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Sir, you have a home, this is your home, you have a family, we are your family." Zhu Qizhen said, "Stay, at least...... In twenty years, you don't have to worry about anything at all. ”

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have good intentions, but I have some things that I have to do, and I still can't." ”

"Mr. ......"

"Okay, I won't leave now, no matter what, I have to wait for the two juniors to become relatives." Li Qing's voice was much softer, "You don't need to persuade anymore, everyone's way of living is different, isn't it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed helplessly and asked, "When will Mr. He leave again?" ”

"I don't know," Li Qing shrugged, "It may not be too long, or it may ...... This separation is the way to say goodbye, who knows. ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent: "I still think...... It's better to stay, at least not to feel lonely. ”

Li Qing just smiled lightly, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”
