Early September.

Jinling.

Yongqing Houfu guest hall.

Li Qing sipped the tea, his face was dusty, and he couldn't hide his tiredness.

Zhu Wanqing accompanied her and said flatteringly: "Uncle Li, you are really punctual, you are tired all the way, right?" ”

"Okay, don't be a sycophant," Li Qing put down the teacup, "Get ready, I'll take you to Jingshi." ”

"Okay." Zhu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Uncle Li, it's a long journey, and I'll rest for two days first, the stall at home is big, and there are many things, my nephew has to explain it before I can go to Beijing with Uncle Li." ”

"Well, go ahead." Li Qing nodded, "It just so happens that I also have some things to do, and I will come back in two days." ”

"Yes...... Do you want to see Aunt Li? Zhu Wanqing asked tentatively, and when she saw that Uncle Li's face was different, she hurriedly said, "My nephew is speechless." ”

Li Qing didn't bother with her, "Go and be busy with you, I'll come over in two days." ”

"Uncle Li, this is your home, come back and live at night, and your niece will wash your dust." Zhu Wanqing said.

"It's just a house, some houses......" Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, "You don't have to worry about me, just take care of your business." ”óΠъ.oяＧ

“…… All right. ”

"Mother, who is that person?" The teenager asked.

"He, he's your father's...... Elders. Zhu Wanqing said in her heart: When you were a child, he still hugged you.

"Which branch is it from Cao Guogong?" The young man was surprised: "This generation is quite old." ”

"Where are there so many problems?" Zhu Wanqing said impatiently, "You have to spend your energy on studying, and you won't be angry with a few gentlemen." ”

"Uh-huh...... Mother, the child is really not the material for reading," the young man sneered, "The child is the only child in the family, and he will help his mother in the future to manage this family business, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't study well." ”

Zhu Wan was angry and scolded: "The old lady is smart, why did she give birth to you as a fool?" ”

"It's not ...... Leave me with my father. "The boy is naughty," the boy thought...... The sound of the abacus is much better than the sound of reading, it's not that my son doesn't want to read, it's really ...... As soon as he heard that his husband was studying, his son became sleepy. ”

"You loser ......" Zhu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and grabbed her son's ear, "If you don't study well, you can't understand business, just your brain, you were deceived and returned the money." ”

"Mother, my son is not so stupid." The young man argued with reason, and the next moment, his expression was distorted, and he immediately softened, "It's wrong, it's wrong, the child knows it's wrong, and the mother spares his life." ”

"Hmph, get out and read." Zhu Wanqing said hatefully: "I'll talk about it when your father comes back." ”

"Mother......

"Don't call me mother, I don't have a ...... like you Son. Zhu Wan snorted angrily, "Also, this family business is not ours." ”

"I know, Yongqinghou, mother, you have told the child many times." The young man grinned and said, "But isn't my father the future Marquis of Yongqing." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said curiously: "Mother, where is my godfather?" ”

"Xiao Hao, do you know ......?"

"What?"

“…… It's nothing, you just need to know that we are helping people guard this family business, and we have to put ourselves in a correct position," Zhu Wan said lightly, "Study hard, otherwise, I will have another one with your father and kick you out." ”

“…… Mother~"

"Get out."

"Yes."

…

Two days later, Li Qing came to the door again.

"Let's go."

"yes, okay." Zhu Wanqing couldn't wait, turned her head, and said, "Xiaohao, call grandpa." ”

The young man Li Hao was embarrassed and called out: "Grandpa." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing glanced at him, and his gaze moved to Zhu Wanqing again, "Let's go, it's almost winter, and you will suffer if you delay any longer." ”

Zhu Wanqing nodded and said to her son, "Mother goes out to do something, you take care of your sister at home." ”

"Mother, where are you going?"

"You don't care about that." Zhu Wanqing snorted, "My mother has already asked someone to send a letter to your father, and he is coming back soon, if you want to ask, go ask him." ”

When Li Hao heard that his father was coming back soon, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said helplessly: "Mother, when will you come back?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Wanqing looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing shrugged, "It depends on your wishes, if you want to stay longer, let Hong'er pick you up when the time comes." ”

Hong'er ...... Li Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean my father?" ”

"Who else can I let pick me up but your father?" Zhu Wanqing glanced at her son and smiled awkwardly at Li Qing, "Uncle Li, this little bastard is too naughty, when I come back this time, I will discipline him well." ”

Li Qing smiled: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

"Hmm."

"Mother......" Li Hao saw that the old lady was going crazy, so he had to ask Li Qing, "That... Grandpa Li, where are you and my mother going? How long has it been? ”

Looking at Li Qing, at most five or six years older than him, this 'grandfather', he was really a little ashamed to speak.

"It's hard to say," Li Qing said, "Everyone has their own business, at your age, study hard, and it's serious to let your father and mother worry less." ”

"Uh...... Be. The young man was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to contradict it.

I had to say: "Mother, my father is back, what did the child say?" ”

"I told your father everything in the letter, so you don't need to say anything." Zhu Wanqing said, "Do you remember what your grandfather just said?" ”

“…… Remembered. Li Hao nodded and said reluctantly: "Mother, what are you...... What are you going to do? ”

"The old lady acts, do I still need to explain to you?"

“……”

…

"This kid is a little out of the way."

"Yes, I don't fight less on weekdays, but I don't have a long memory." Zhu Wanqing looked a little helpless, and said tentatively: "Or, Uncle Li, you will go out to train and train?" ”

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by Uncle Li at the beginning, she felt that Uncle Li would definitely work when he came out.

In Uncle Li, there is no such thing as rebellion.

"Let's see then, if you have time, it's okay to help you adjust it, but ......" Li Qing smiled, "You know Uncle Li, Uncle Li discipline...... It's a bit of a drain. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't die or be disabled, Uncle Li is casual." Zhu Wanqing said.

"Hmm...." Li Qing nodded, and then said: "Go to the city after dark, hold on tight, drive~"

"Uncle Li, slow down, wait for me ......"

When I arrived in Beijing, it was late September, and it was winter.

Lianjiatun'er.

Li Qing opened the lock, pushed the door and walked inside, and Zhu Wanqing followed him into the small courtyard.

I wanted to miss her in the past, but looking at the current furnishings, I was surprised, "How did you rebuild it?" ”

"If you don't live for a long time, the previous house has already collapsed, and this is rebuilt by the emperor." Li Qing said.

Zhu Wanqing nodded slowly and sighed lightly: "Uncle Li worked hard. ”

"You don't need to say this to a girl." Li Qing smiled, "You live in the West Wing, there is a futon in the cabinet, I'll go to the street to buy some food." ”

"Let's go with my niece." She's not a little girl out of the cabinet anymore.

"Stay at home, what do you want to eat?"

"Uncle Li looks at it and buys some, but his niece doesn't pick it." Zhu Wanqing rubbed her hands and said, "Bring a little bar, it's really cold this day, and I guess it's going to snow." ”

"Cheng, wait."

…

'Bell Bell Bell ......'

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Wanqing came out of the east wing, came to the gate to open the door, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw someone coming, "...... are you?" ”

"Are you ......?" Wang Shouren was also stunned, and then realized that he had guessed wrong, and arched his hand, "I offended, and when I saw that the big lock on the door was opened, I thought that the original owner of this house had returned, and asked Mrs. Haihan." ”

And he was about to depart.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Wanqing said, "......Who is the original owner of the mansion that this son said?" ”

"Li Qing." Wang Shouren said strangely, "Could it be that Mrs. Fei didn't buy the mansion in his hands, or ......?" ”

"I'm his niece's daughter," Zhu Wanqing heard him say Uncle Li's name, and said politely, "Little boy, please come in, Uncle Li is back, and he went to the street now, and he is estimated to be back soon." ”

"He's really back?" A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Shouren's eyes, and he arched his hand and said, "There is a female dependent, so Xiaosheng won't go in, just wait for him here." ”

"Since I'm Uncle Li's guest, let's come in and wait, otherwise, Uncle Li will blame me for losing hospitality." Zhu Wanqing turned sideways, "Little boy, please come in." ”

Wang Shouren is afraid of losing etiquette, and Zhu Wanqing is afraid of losing hospitality.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and in the end, Wang Shouren was defeated and said, "Then it's presumptuous." ”

Walking into the small courtyard, he went straight to the bamboo forest and insisted on not going to the guest hall.

The yard is not big, there is no difference between the front and back yards, the owner has not returned, there are only female dependents in the house, and it is very rude to enter the house.

Zhu Wanqing no longer insisted, poured him a cup of tea, and went to the west wing to pack up the bedding again.

About half an hour later, Li Qing pushed the door into the courtyard, and when he saw Wang Shouren, he couldn't help but be stunned, and thought for a while before he said, "Xiaoyun, why are you here?" ”

"Xiaosheng took the liberty to visit, please don't blame Mr." Wang Shouren made a gesture, and then said with a smile, "At the beginning, Mr. once said that after a farewell, I hope that I will never see each other again in this life, but now I see, Mr. was wrong." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "Let's go, go to the guest hall and say." ”

"Sir, please."

"Hmm." Li Qing raised his voice and said, "Wanqing! ”

"Here we are." Zhu Wanqing came out of the wing room and said, "This little boy is polite and refuses to wait for Uncle Li in the guest hall." ”

Li Qing handed her the packaged wine and food, "Go eat something first, rest for the night, and I'll take you over tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Zhu Wanqing took it, and then signaled to Wang Shouren, who returned the salute.

Subsequently, Zhu Wanqing returned to her room, and Wang Shouren followed Li Qing into the guest hall.

Changle Palace.

"Father, it's me, and my sons are deep!" Zhu Jianshen said loudly.

Zhu Qizhen looked dazed, stared at him for a long time, and smiled embarrassedly, "I don't remember, I don't remember......"

"Grandpa Huang, do you remember your grandson?" Zhu Youzhu stepped forward with a big face, "I'm Youzhang!" ”

"Huh...... I don't even remember. Zhu Qizhen knew that this was his son and grandson, but he had no impression and couldn't remember the memory of his children and grandchildren at all.

Zhu Youzhu sighed lightly and looked at his father with a sad brow.

Zhu Jianshen was tired and smiled bitterly, his beloved wife lingered on the sickbed, his father lost his mind again, and he was exhausted......
