There is a lake in the mansion of Dingguo Duke in the capital. When the old Duke's wife was alive, she liked to take care of flowers and trees. Whether in spring, summer, autumn and winter, there were flowers and trees competing for beauty in the lake. Especially in winter, the lake water was cold and thin ice was formed, and the red and white plums on the shore were blooming in fragrance. At that time, Qi Wei liked to play by the lake the most. His mother put on a thick cotton coat and fed hot tea and hot snacks in the pavilion by the lake. In the cold season, his face turned red with cold. When he returned to the pavilion, he started to warm his hands with hot tea. When he looked up, he saw his mother's kind smile.

Later, his mother passed away. Although there were gardeners and servants in the Duke's Mansion, the lake was still more and more desolate. Later, Qi Wei also left the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's Mansion became an inn that occasionally came back to stay. He had never been to the back garden, nor had he ever thought about whether the water in the lake had dried up.

But at this moment, Qi Wei remembered the lake, the lake of childhood, the lake full of flowers.

He wanted to take Li Qiniang with him and go to the lake together. If the lake is too cold, then look at the flowers and trees by the lake. I don’t know if the red and white plums by the lake are still there. If there is no more, then he will buy them and plant them tomorrow.

"Aqi, thank you."

Qi Fu's voice was very light, like feathers floating in the wind. Li Qiniang stretched out her palm and the feathers fell on her palm.

It was cold in the winter night, and the feathers had been flying for a long time, covered in wind, frost and dust.

Li Qiniang closed her palms and raised the corners of her lips. The stars were cold and the moon was cold, but she felt the warmth from the palm.

Qi Wei is not a young and handsome boy, he is a military general and a politician.

The first time, he asked Li Qiniang. Since Li Qiniang refused, he would never rush to continue asking the second and third times.

He was waiting, and he knew that Li Qiniang was waiting too.

He was waiting for Li Qiniang's attitude, and he knew that Li Qiniang was waiting for his attitude.

At their age, many things have been seen thoroughly.

The attitude is not expressed, nor is it like those noble ladies who donate porridge and donate money once, and they will be good people from now on.

Attitude is engraved in the bones, from the heart, and is more stable and lasting.

Qi Wei was actually anxious, but he didn't want his anxiety to affect Li Qiniang.

The position of Duke Madam is wealth and glory to others and the glory of her parents' family, but Qi Wei knows that this position may be a shackle for Li Qiniang.

So, what qualifications does he have to put this shackle on her hard? He didn't.

Since he had already made Li Qiniang understand his intentions, the next thing was how to make this shackle no longer a shackle.

Leave these to him and he will definitely do them well.

The mule cart finally stopped, and Qingping Lane was ahead.

Qi Wei got out of the car, put down the stool, and lifted the curtain. When Li Qiniang stepped on the stool, her first foot was a little unstable, and she immediately stepped on it. However, Qi Wei still stretched out her hand and helped her walk down the stool.

"Thank you." Li Qiniang's face felt hot. She lived to the age of thirty, and her daughter was already in the hairpin. This was the first time she was helped by a man except when she was a child.

"No need to thank me. Say for me and Xiaoman Xiao. When I clean up the mansion and invite them to go to the mansion to play. I heard that Sister Huai likes to practice martial arts and Xiaoman loves to study. I have a lot of weapons and a lot of books in my mansion. Maybe they will like it."

Li Qiniang smiled and agreed: "Jia Huai'er is not practicing martial arts. She just likes to kick her legs and hangs a leather cock on the beam of the house. She calls every day and it's just a child's play. Xiaoman really loves reading, and that child is really well-behaved."

Upon hearing this, Qi Fu became interested: "Sister Huai'er's pussy? This is new, I must see it another day."

"Okay, it's just for kids, just don't joke."

Li Qiniang didn't pay attention to it herself, but she could hear it carefully.

This time, Li Qiniang was talking about "you", not "you".

Qi Wei was very happy and felt that the surroundings were warmer, not like a winter night, but like March, wandering in the spring breeze.

As long as Li Qiniang talks about her precious children, she is a joy from the bottom of her heart. At this time, she is just an ordinary and happy mother, not the boss lady who is good at dancing with a long sleeve and smart style during the day, nor is she a troubled woman waving a kitchen knife in the dilapidated temple.

Qi Wei looked at her, and the warmth in her heart became more and more gathered. Yes, what Li Qiniang brought him was this kind of warmth.

The home in his memory is so warm.

Li Qiniang gave him the urge to go home. He wanted to go home and protect the warmth of that room. There was a fragrance of food, vegetables, flowers, and people he cherished at home.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Li Qiniang stopped talking, and the two stood there, quietly, like two trees that had been standing opposite each other for thousands of years.

After a long time, Li Qiniang said, "It's getting late, it's time for me to go back."

"Well, go and call the door, I'll drive the mule cart in."

"No, let Dazhuang drive the car to the back door, but he can't get in the front door."

The two of them whispered, and one went to call the door and the other parked the car not far from the door.

Soon, Dazhuang came out, took the reins, drove the mule cart to go around the back door. When Li Qiniang entered the door, she looked back and looked at it. Qi Wei stood in the darkness and could no longer see clearly.

Suddenly, two figures, one tall and one short, rushed out and ran in before the door was closed.

Qi Wei in the darkness was stunned for a moment and laughed silently.

Those two figures, one tall and slender, the other is clearly a child. Are they Yan Xuehuai and Xiaoman?

The siblings were outside just now. He talked to Li Qiniang. Did they both hear it?

Qi Wei remembered what experts often say about the wind-to-sighted device. He is a general and practices immediate kung fu. Should he also find a master to make up for it? Otherwise, there would be two ghosts next to him eavesdropping, and he wouldn't even know.

What was even more embarrassing than Qi Wei was Li Qiniang.

She never expected that both children were outside, they were going out to pick her up, but she saw her talking to the Duke outside.

Li Qiniang carefully recalled every word she said to the Duke at the door just now, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Duke of the State said that he would invite his two children to the Duke of the State's Mansion to be guests, and then she talked endlessly about her two treasures.

"It's a cold day, why are you two outside?" she asked.

Yan Xuehuai wanted to return this sentence to her, but she still endured it.

"Didn't you come back? Xiaoman is worried and wants to come out to welcome you. As soon as we came out, you came back, haha, what a coincidence."

Xiaoman also echoed next to him: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Li Qiniang looked at them, reached out to touch Yan Xuehuai's face, then touched Xiaoman's, and shouted: "My face is cold, why don't you go into the house quickly!"

Then, she saw one big and one small, and she ran away in two whizzes.

Yan Xuehuai didn't go back to her house, and Dong Da was foolish in her house. She and Xiaoman hid in the study.
