"I won't be able to stay here for a few days." Li Qing said.

"Uncle Li, where are you going?"

"Cochin!"

"Huh?" Zhu Wanqing was surprised, "It's so dignified, why did you suddenly remember to go there?" ”

Li Qing said: "I have a business there, and there is almost no risk, it's just a little hard, and I run every three or five times." ”

"What business, how come I don't know?"

"It's not the Li family's business."

"It's not the Li family...... Is it Daming's business? ”

Li Qing nodded and asked, "Do you remember Zhu Qijin?" ”

Zhu Wanqing was stunned for a while, and said, "Is it the young man who accompanied that grandfather?" ”

"I have a pretty good memory." Li Qing's head was bowed.

Zhu Wanqing sneered: "Brother Hong was still jealous at the beginning, and I was a little more impressed, Uncle Li, you go to Jiaozhi...... But agreed with him about the supply of maritime merchants? ”

"Good guy, your head is turning fast enough!"

"Our family runs a maritime business, of course I know." Zhu Wanqing said, "In the past few years, merchant ships have gone to sea much smoother than in previous years, not only efficient, but also reduced in cost, but I don't know if this is the result of your efforts, Uncle Li." ”

There was a pause, "Can he speak in Jiaozhi?" ”

"That's too reasonable, he's the number one in Jiaozhi now." Li Qing nodded, "This time I went, it was to fulfill the benefits I promised, and it would take about half a year." ”

Zhu Wanqing was puzzled, "He's all in the right hands, Uncle Li, what benefits can you give him?" ”

"Guess?"

Zhu Wanqing was stunned and said in shock: "Could it be ...... Phoenix? ”

"Reluctantly," Li Qing sighed and said, "I just promised that I would let him live to about eighty." ”

"Well, that's a lot." Zhu Wanqing suddenly said, "Also, there is no shortage of people like him, just like a soil emperor, this is what can attract him." ”

"Don't be envious, you two can too." Li Qing said with a smile, "Although Hong'er has no talent in martial arts, I taught him everything that can be taught and is suitable for him, and I also got him a Heavenly Master Pill, as for you, ......"

"How can I live a long life?" Zhu Wanqing asked.

She has both children and daughters, a husband who loves her and she loves, and the Hou Mansion has a good life, of course she wants to live a long time.

"The set of health preservation methods I taught you before, you can definitely practice it diligently." Li Qing smiled, "The premise is that you are not lazy." ”

"Really?"

"What a lie to you!" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "I still want you to stay with me for a while longer, but I can only go here and live a long life...... It's too hard. ”

"That's good enough." Zhu Wanqing was very content, thought about it, and said, "Brother Hong is seven years older than me, and he will live to ...... eighty Then I'll live to be seventy-three. ”

Li Qing: "......"

Have the heart say, "Is this what you can do to the Lord?"

When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, holding the hand of his son with the person he loved, and growing old with his son, which is probably the luckiest thing in life.

Zhu Wanqing saw that his expression was different, and she was keenly aware of what she had provoked, so she hurriedly changed the topic:

"Uncle Li, Brother Hong is now in Haining, the distance is not too far, and he is not busy now, why don't I send him a letter and ask him to come back and stay for a few days?"

"No, this time I came back from Jiaozhi, I have been in Daming for five years, and there is time to reunite." Li Qing smiled, "I can't live for a few days, why bother him to run around?" ”

"Okay then." Zhu Wanqing sighed lightly, "Uncle Li, after coming back from Jiaozhi, why don't you live in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, don't go any further, don't you want to focus on maritime commerce, the development of maritime commerce in the south of the Yangtze River is far from being comparable to the north, what do you say?" ”

She added: "You have been busy with the Shen family almost this year, and it is almost time to come, so let's stay." ”

Li Qing groaned, nodded and said, "Well, I will focus on Jiangnan, but I can't live in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion all the time." ”

"I'm diligent in changing people, no one will find out what is special about you, besides, if you don't change for only a few years, it won't attract attention at all." Zhu Wanqing persuaded, "You've been running around for so long, it's time to rest." ”

"I want to too, but ...... Riddled with trifles. Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But don't worry, I will come to see you often." ”

"Uncle Li, I don't understand, I'm doing the thing of acting as a leader, and the new emperor has been on the throne for several years, what else are you worried about?"

"I'm a lot more worried, but it's a little hard to tell you."

"Can't even say it?" Zhu Wanqing was injured, "You don't trust me? ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that ...... It's better not to let you know about some things. ”

After a pause, "Don't say anything else, you know that your eldest brother is not in good health, his time is running out, I have to watch it often." ”

Zhu Wanqing was silent.

After a while, she asked, "Uncle Li, my eldest brother is he...... How much longer? ”

"I don't know." Li Qing shook his head, "Don't really treat me as a miracle doctor, I don't have a god to that point, to be honest, my medical skills are okay." ”

Zhu Wanqing: "I don't believe it." ”

"It's really average, I'm just bold, whether it's the emperor, or the queen, or the emperor, I dare to prick anyone with a needle."

Li Qing laughed at himself: "Aside from these, as well as the assistance in martial arts, my medical skills are really average, after all, ...... Uncle Li, I, I've been studying medicine for ten years, and I still learned it with my feet, so I just dare to carry things. ”

Zhu Wanqing was silent and said, "Uncle Li, when the eldest brother really arrives, can you take me to see him off for the last time?" ”

"When the time comes, it depends on the situation, and I will take you with me." Li Qing sighed, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, he himself sees it very openly, why should you be sad?" ”

"After my father leaves, I will have this one blood relative left, and we don't get along much with my brother and sister, but my eldest brother is very good." Zhu Wanqing recalled the past, "When the old witch made a drop of blood to recognize her relatives, she cut a big hole in my hand, and my eldest brother bandaged me." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Wanqing felt emotional: "Alas...... At that time, I was only in my teens, and in the blink of an eye, my son was about to get married, and time passed so fast! ”

"Yes, sometimes I feel like time flies, but sometimes I ...... I feel that time flies too slowly, too slowly! Li Qing said tiredly, "Sometimes, I really want to sleep with him for five hundred years!" ”

"Five hundred years of sleep in one night, don't talk about me, counting from me, the bones of my nine clans are rotten." Zhu Wanqing said angrily, "People want to borrow from the sky for 500 years, but you can do it, sleep for 500 years, what's the matter, can you live is willful?" ”

"You're still teaching me a lesson?" Li Qing smiled.

Zhu Wan puffed up and said, "Your thoughts are very dangerous, I can't talk about it?" ”

She got serious and said solemnly: "Uncle Li, don't think about it!" ”

“…… If you really can't think about it, you can't think about it for a long time. Li Qing looked up at the roof and said quietly, "The fetters are too deep to let go, I ...... I also want to take another look at that brilliant and prosperous era. ”

"What prosperity?"

"I told you that you don't understand." Li Qing got up and said, "Ma Yu is going to prepare the wine and food, and I'll walk around." ”

…

The Yongqing Marquis Mansion is very large.

Li Qing walked aimlessly, and unconsciously came to the pond, at the beginning, he liked to fish here, I remember that he didn't catch it once, and he went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of live fish and put it in, and the results were immediate......

In the spring of February, the sunshine in Jiangnan is very warm.

Li Qing became interested, found someone to get a fishing rod, and began to fish in the sun......

The float was counted, and suddenly submerged into the water, Li Qing's wrist flicked, the fishing line swayed left and right for a moment, and a carp weighing several catties flew out of the water.

This scene seems familiar, but there is something missing......

"Ah, that's amazing!"

A crisp sound sounded.

Li Qing's body was shocked, and he turned back suddenly.

It is Li Hao and Li Xueer, brothers and sisters.

"It's you," Li Qing squeezed out a smile in his indescribable loss, "Come to me?" ”

"The wine and food are ready, my mother asked us to call you." Li Hao stepped forward to pick up the fish basket and said with a smile, "Just right, let the cook add another fish soup." ”

Li Xue'er stepped forward and stared at the fish, exclaiming: "It's so fat!" ”

"Brother Gai Ming'er casts a net, let's eat a whole fish feast."

"Loser." Li Qing raised his hand and slapped him.

"You, do you want to see where this is?" Li Hao was angry, "Anyway, I'm also a little master, how can you insult me like this?" ”

“…… I'm used to it, you get used to it. Li Qing left the next sentence, and Shi Shiran left.

"Lie to me too much." Li Hao was indignant.

Li Xue'er persuaded: "Big brother, don't be angry, it doesn't hurt." ”

"How do you know it doesn't hurt?"

"You're not blushing."

Li Hao: "......"

~

The dishes were sumptuous, the wine was soft, and Li Xueer drank two glasses lightly.

Li Hao, who had been away from home for a year, was happy, and soon got high and began to talk.

"Mother, I'm seventeen years old, and I'm not the material for studying, and it's really early to take over the business now, or ......" Li Hao licked his lips, "I'll marry a daughter-in-law and help our old Li family inherit the lineage?" ”

Zhu Wanqing: "......"

"Big brother is not in shape." Li Xueer complained.

Li Hao retorted: "The eldest brother is not for you, I can't become a family as a brother, how can you start a family?" Yes? ”

"Big brother, you are so annoying, it's obviously you...... You have to pull me. Li Xue'er was ashamed and annoyed, and her face was red.

Zhu Wanqing glared at her son and scolded, "Look at your useless appearance!" ”

"Mother, don't you want to hold your grandson earlier?" Li Hao said with a smile, "The girl who is waiting to marry me, from Jinling to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are many ladies waiting to be your daughter-in-law, you have to give them a chance, right?" ”

"Oops... It hurts, it hurts, ......it hurts," Li Hao shouted, "I'm also for the incense of our old Li family!" ”

Zhu Wanqing twisted it again, then let go, and turned to look at Li Qing, "Uncle Li, what do you think?" ”

"What can I see?" Li Qing rolled her eyes, "I'm not his mother." ”

"......" Zhu Wanqing's face was full of black lines, "I mean, Xiaohao is getting married now, is it a little early?" ”

"It's okay, it's much earlier than him." Li Qing smiled: "You can't let him be like his father, right?" ”

Zhu Wanqing: "......"

"Then, Uncle Li, you have to check it."
