Li Zhi, don't be a coward

When Shangguanyi took the initiative to bring up the marriage, Li Qinzai's attitude was very vague.

People in this class naturally think differently from ordinary people. Li Qinzai is well aware that family political marriages are very common, and his descendants may not be able to avoid them.

Li Qinzai only hopes that when his children grow up, they will be able to think independently about the future of life, or be able to make decisions about their own lives as adults. At that time, Qiao'er and Hongbi can at least give them a chance.

The first chance is that they don't have to worry about each other's origin and class, as long as they love each other, they can become husband and wife.

Being in this powerful class, this can be regarded as an adult fairy tale left by Li Qinzai to the children.

In fairy tales, the prince will be with Cinderella.

But now, seeing Shangguan Wan'er's cute appearance, Li Qinzai couldn't help thinking, this little girl had better adopt her as his daughter-in-law, she is indeed too cute, it would be a pity to marry someone else.

It depends on whether Qiao'er or Hongbi have such intentions.

Qiao'er's performance seems a little flat, he is not very old, maybe he has no distinction between men and women in his eyes, they are just playmates.

Hongbi was different, he seemed to like Shangguan Waner very much, and he felt that he had the potential to be a dog licker, running after Shangguan Waner's buttocks, this scene really worried the old father.

Shangguanyi's visit has no other purpose, but to make his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er shine on the stage, so that the two children of the Li family will love his granddaughter, and they will come and go frequently in the future. up.

Clearly aware of Shangguanyi's purpose, Li Qinzai neither supported nor opposed it.

The little girl is so cute, it's okay for her old and cunning grandpa to play tricks on her. Anyway, Li Qinzai is also very satisfied with Shangguan Wan'er.

The most effective response to beauty tricks is to follow the tricks.

Shangguanyi stayed at Li's house for more than an hour. When she wanted to leave, Shangguan Wan'er refused to leave. She seemed to like playing with Qiao'er very much, especially Qiao'er's heroic demeanor of lighting a firecracker with one hand, which made her even more intoxicated. fascinated.

As for Hongbi who was following Pidiandian, Shangguan Wan'er chose to ignore it.

The elders saw the scene of the three children playing together, and Shangguanyi was rather disappointed.

In his plan, Shangguan Wan'er should play with Hong Bi and ignore Qiao'er. After all, the Shangguan family wants to marry Li Qinzai's legitimate son Hongbi, not his bastard son Qiao'er.

The current situation... is a bit difficult.

Li Qinzai was quite satisfied, hey, that's how it should be, Hongbi is the son of the first wife, and his status is here, so he won't worry about not being able to marry a wife when he grows up.

Qiao'er is different, his personality is getting more and more stable, and he has the appearance of an adult at a young age. If he can marry a smart and lovely woman like Shangguan Wan'er, his life will not be too rough.

The granddaughter didn't want to leave, and Shangguanyi was also willing to let her granddaughter have more contact with the Li family's children, so she apologized with a wry smile, and Shangguanyi went back to the mansion first. After Shangguan Wan'er had had enough fun, she asked Li Qinzai to send her back.

Li Qinzai agreed with a smile, and smiled tacitly with Shangguanyi.

…………

Life is leisurely, but Li Qinzai is still not at ease.

Military newspapers on the Goguryeo battlefield came frequently, but most of them were trivial matters.

After Goguryeo was destroyed, the Tang army is now in the stage of cleaning up the remnants. In the military newspaper Li Ji sent to Chang'an, except for some sporadic small-scale chaos, there were basically no major wars.

The Goguryeo people in some cities couldn't stand the high-pressure policy of the Tang army, so a city-wide rebellion broke out.

At the beginning of the rebellion, the Tang army was inevitably beaten at a loss. However, in the face of the powerful attack of the Tang army, how could those ordinary people with hoes and forks be the opponents of the Tang army.

The final outcome was naturally that the rebellion was quickly quelled, and then the Tang army severely punished them one after another. Some cities were killed by the Tang army and turned into empty cities, ghost towns. Except for dilapidated buildings, there was not even a panting dog in the city.

The content in the military newspaper was concise and to the point, and Li Qinzai read it over and over again.

In fact, what he cares most about is not Goguryeo, but Silla.

The conflict between the Japanese and the Silla people had reached a fever pitch. Pang Tongshan, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Army, went to mediate under Li Ji's order. The Silla people might not know Pang Tongshan's purpose, but Li Qinzai knew very well that Pang Tongshan must have gone there with a conspiracy. .

I just don't know when Pang Tongshan will do it, and what reason Li Ji will use to do it against Silla.

Just after the first month, people's mood has returned to normal from the joy of the New Year.

The rest period for the courtiers is also over. After the Shangyuan Festival, officials from the three provinces and six ministries began to enter the government to act as government agents, and the first court meeting of the new year began as scheduled.

There was an issue at the first court meeting, that is, the queen was worried about the people, so she decided to take the wives of the fourth grade or above out of Chang'an, all the way eastward to Luoyang, where she would sacrifice the agricultural altar in the Luoyang Palace, and pray for the people of the world, so that the weather will be good and the grains will be plentiful this year.

There was no controversy on the topic. Li Zhi had already greeted the important courtiers. Besides, it was a matter of business for the queen to pray for the subjects, but anyone who had a little reverence for the gods would not object.

In the British government, Cui Jie and Jin Xiang were busy early in the morning.

Their luggage has been packed, and they are even wearing official uniforms. The Li family members are waiting outside the door. This time, the mistress of the family is away, and the members are responsible for security work. Li Qinzai dispatched two hundred members Guard all the way.

"Husband, after the concubine leaves, the husband must remember to eat and drink less, and Qiao'er's studies must be supervised every day. The child will run out to play if he is not paying attention. Don't worry, and I have to greet Aunt Auntie every day, Auntie likes to be lively, and my husband asked her to go out and have a lot of contact with those powerful family members..."

Li Qinzai responded to Cui Jie's exhortations one after another with a smile.

Only now do I know how cumbersome it is for a woman to be in charge of the house. It doesn't seem to be an important matter, but she takes care of every aspect, the old and the young, all of which are carefully managed by her.

"Madam, don't worry, I'm at home." Li Qinzai stretched out his hand to straighten her slightly messy hair, and said with a smile, "It's a long way to Luoyang, so take care of yourself on the way."

After thinking about it, Li Qinzai leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "Keep a certain distance in contact with the queen. Don't believe her words, and don't agree to any of her requests on the spot. Go back and discuss it with Jin Xiang. If you want to decide, you can send me a letter to tell me."

Cui Jie's eyes flickered and she nodded silently.

She is the daughter of an aristocratic family, and she is very aware of the dangers in the court. In the past, her husband alone carried the burden. This trip, getting along with the queen day and night, and getting along with women is more complicated. Naturally, Cui Jie dare not take it lightly.

Jin Xiang stood quietly at the side, holding Li Qinzai's sleeve with one hand, his face full of sadness.

Li Qinzai pinched her face with a smile, and said: "You should take good care of yourself, don't catch a cold, don't go hungry, discuss everything with Jie'er more, don't make up your own mind..."

With tears in his eyes, Jin Xiang nodded, choked with sobs and said: "I can't bear to part with my husband, my sister and I will not see each other for several months, will my husband miss us?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "Of course I miss you, I want to cry now, thinking of the days without you at home, I can't help feeling sad..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Xiang stared at him sharply, and said coldly: "Can you restrain your expression when your husband said this, you are almost laughing out loud!"
