There is no snow today, but it is not warmer than yesterday, the sky is dreary, even colder than yesterday, the snow is frozen hard, and the cold wind cannot blow.

Li Hao looked at it in a daze, with a lot of thoughts......

"At your age, what's there to worry about?" Li Qing smiled, "If you want to be the same, then the young master will be the first to die." ”

Li Hao was in no mood to refute his ridicule, but just smiled: "Master Qing, I have a question, can you tell me truthfully?" ”

"You ask, I don't promise to say."

"It's been a game from the beginning, isn't it?"

Li Qing was a little confused, "What bureau?" ”

"Support the Shen family, and then let the Li family cooperate with the Shen family." Li Hao said, "I understand, you have planned it early in the morning, otherwise, how can the emperor go all the way to Jinling, and how can he do this to my nephew, who has not seen the light...... Pampering, alas, is all calculated! ”

Li Qing: "......"

"What's the matter?" Li Qing was speechless, "The cooperation between the Li and Shen families is only for the sake of the heart of the Shen family, and this is also beneficial to the Li family, as for the Emperor Taishang going to Jinling, and spoiling you...... There is no utilitarian factor. ”

"Huh...... There is no royal affection, and I am not a child again. Li Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, not believing it at all.

Li Qing said angrily: "I don't understand, but I still think I am self-righteous, it's really hopeless, do you know why the royal family has no family affection?" ”

"As an emperor, what he has in his heart is the world, and what he cares about is authority, so he can't take care of family affection." Li Hao gave his own understanding.

Li Qing nodded: "Yes, but not entirely." ”

He groaned and said: "The royal family has no family affection, most of the time it is reflected in the struggle for the throne and the consolidation of imperial power. Royalty doesn't just produce cold-blooded animals! ”

"Your mother is the daughter of the orthodox emperor, the only concubine, but she is a woman after all, and she can't threaten your uncle at all, so your uncle won't do anything to her and her son, understand?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "You are so smart, you are completely in the wrong place, a simple thing, it is complicated for you to think;

I told you a long time ago that the cooperation between Li and Shen is my idea, and it has nothing to do with others, and I will do it all, so you don't need to have any doubts. ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, don't you believe me, don't you believe your mother?" Li Qing asked, "Do you think that with your mother's wisdom, she won't be able to see this?" ”gòйЪ.ōΓg

Li Hao was silent.

"Master Qing, I, I said something offensive, don't mind."

"You say."

"I always felt ...... My mom and dad trust you too much. ”

Li Qing: "......"

The New Year is approaching, Jingshi Street is gradually lively, and the cold weather can't stop the enthusiasm of the people for the New Year.

Sheep slaughterers, pig slaughterers...... Both the buyer and the seller are very hard-working.

Squeezed into the lively crowd, it doesn't seem to be cold anymore.

The New Year's fair in the north is more lively and bustling than in the south, and the New Year's flavor is more abundant.

Li Hao was dressed like a fat penguin, and on this cold day, he didn't care about his demeanor, carrying a bundle of green onions in his left hand, a sack of cabbage on his shoulder, and two fish hanging around his neck, panting for breath......

"No, Master Qing, just the two of us, we can't eat so much, besides, I bought a lot of them yesterday."

Li Qing snorted: "It's too much when you buy, too little when you eat, it's going to be a strike in two days, you can't buy it if you want to, there seems to be a beef seller over there, go, go buy some." ”

“…… Oh. Li Hao followed and muttered: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who dare to slaughter cattle in such disregard of the imperial court decrees, it is really ......."

"Take a look, look at the cow that just fell to its death in the morning, it's fresh."

Li Hao: "...... Yes, it's because I'm small. ”

The two squeezed forward, and the butcher was dividing, boasting about it, and seeing that the two were dressed extraordinarily, he hurriedly sold:

"Two masters, come on?"

"I want this little half of the beef ribs." Li Qing pointed to the bull's head, "How can this cow's head be sold?" ”

The butcher smiled: "If you don't debon, this cow's head will be given to you." ”

"Deboning, this bone is too weighing." Li Hao didn't think it was cost-effective.

Li Qing said: "No need to debon, weigh it." ”

"Well, all right." The butcher was overjoyed, hooked the ribs with a scale hook, and played with the scale hammer, "Look, Forty-five catties are tall!" ”

"How much?"

"Wipe it and give it a tael of silver." The butcher said generously.

Li Qing didn't bargain, and took out a tael of silver, "Send a sack, otherwise I won't be able to take it." ”

"Gotcha."

The butcher readily agreed, and quickly loaded it and handed it to him.

Li Qing was carrying it on his shoulders, heavy, and he felt that it was almost there.

During the Chinese New Year, how can you not eat and drink well?

The influx of silver has caused prices to rise a lot, and the prices at the end of the year are not cheap.

For Li Qing, this amount of money is nothing, but for the people, the burden is heavy.

But then again, the way to live for the rich and the poor for the poor is nothing more than worse, far from being unable to live.

With the blessing of potatoes and sweet potatoes, most people basically bid farewell to hunger.

These two crops are not only high-yielding, but they are not as delicate as wheat and rice, and can be harvested well even on extremely poor land.

Walking out of the vegetable market, the two went to the grain and oil store again, bought a bag of flour, and then went home.

On the way, Li Hao hummed, panting, and complained:

"Master Qing, you are using me as a donkey!"

Li Qing sneered and said, "You are far worse than Brother Donkey!" ”

"Donkey, donkey brother?" Li Hao said, "What happened to you and the donkey?" ”

"Smack!"

"You're hitting me again!!"

"It's time to fight!" Li Qing was silent, "Let's go, go back and I'll cook." ”

He was afraid that Li Hao would spoil these ingredients.

"Really?"

Li Hao was suddenly angry, he knew the craftsmanship of the young master, it was not a little bit stronger than him, and the food cooked was more delicious than the imperial meal brought by his uncle.

"You do it." Li Qing added.

"No problem." Li Hao nodded happily, shook his head and said, "Eat and drink well, I don't want to go home!" ”

The two fish on his neck swayed with his movements, looking very funny, which made Li Qing laugh.

"I'm sure you'll be so delicious that your tongue melts."

"That is, when Master Qing cooks, it must be delicious." Li Hao patted his ass, and he also had energy on his body, and he walked with the wind.

This year, although he was not with his father, mother, and little sister, he was not lonely, and Li Hao was no longer like last time.

Anyway, the person who picked me up should be coming soon, right? Li Hao secretly thought that his already good mood was even more beautiful.

When he got home and unloaded the New Year's goods, Li Qing said, "You cut this steak into one by one, I'll go to the palace and come back at noon to make it." ”

"No problem, a good meal is not afraid of being late." Li Haole nodded, "By the way, Master Qing, this is the New Year soon, do you still want to enter the palace all day?" ”

"This was the last trip a year ago." Li Qing stretched his muscles, "You can't be idle all year round, and you can't be idle for two days during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Li Hao quipped: "I'm afraid I can't help you!" ”

"Huh."

Qianqing Palace.

"Doctor Li, it's only a few days before the Chinese New Year, are you sure?" Zhu Youzhu frowned, afraid that he would not have a good year.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Five steamed buns can be eaten, and now they are all four and a half to eat, and it will be soon." ”

Then, he reassured: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, don't look for trouble before the year, this is an unwritten rule, they are still waiting for the New Year to give out red envelopes, and they will not give you eye medicine at this time." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled bitterly: "I'm not just worried about the hundred officials, but also ...... Hey? How do you know this? ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and said, "I overheard the Emperor Taishang talk about it before. ”

"That's it..."Zhu Youzhu didn't delve into it, he was now full of things about the emperor's heir, "Doctor Li, are you sure that when the queen arrives in the spring, the queen can conceive the emperor's heir?" ”

"Nothing is foolproof in this world, but ...... It's in the bag. Li Qingdao said, "There is no problem with Niangniang's phoenix body now, it is estimated that ...... That's a month's thing. ”

"Really?" Zhu Youzhang's heart was pounding.

"Of course, however, the emperor also has to work hard." Li Qing added.

Zhu Youjiao's face was hot, and he said unnaturally, "I've been busy with official business these days, I... I always have a sore back, ahem, you ......"

"I understand." Li Qing smiled and nodded, and said in his heart: At your age, it is said that you don't need this, it's really empty......

In order to solve this matter as soon as possible, Li Qing gave a prescription, the enhanced version of the last time.

Hurry up and get pregnant, he also wants to go to Jinling to live for a while after the year, to understand how the overseas store is going, and then go to Jiaozhi.

It's not okay to be trapped in Beijing all the time.

Zhu Youzhu picked up the prescription and looked at it, and found that there were two more flavors of medicine than last time, and the amount of medicine had increased significantly, and he suddenly smiled, and his waist was stiff.

Li Qing said: "Once a day is enough." ”

Once a day, isn't that a few times a day? Zhu Youjiao's mouth was bitter, he couldn't bear a little bitterness.

However, when I think of the imperial heir, when I think of the pleasant process, I feel that it is nothing to suffer a little, it is all for the sake of ...... Ancestral Society.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded: "I know." ”

Seeing that he was full of energy, Li Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, and silently wished him to win the bid as soon as possible, so that he could be idle.

Lianjiatun'er, Li Qing pushed the door in.

"Master Qing, I've got it all done, and it's up to you next." Li Hao turned his back and drew with a burning stick.

"What are you doing?" Li Qing closed the door, turned around and stepped forward, this time he found Li Hao building a snowman...... To be precise, in the snowcat.

It's kind of like that.

"Like it?" Li Hao proudly showed off, "Isn't it lifelike?" ”

"What do you call lifelike? You're a waste! ”

"What did I waste?" Li Hao was speechless.

Li Qing scolded: "Waste the purity of this snow, go, burn the pot!" ”

“…… All right. Li Hao was helpless, got up and walked to the East Kitchen, took two steps, tilted his head and asked, "Master Qing, do I have a red envelope for the New Year?" ”

saw that the young man had his back to him, and only spit out one word:

"Yes."
