Chapter 379 The leisurely young couple
The next morning, Li Zhang got up with a refreshing feeling, while Qingzhi was still sleeping soundly. Li Zhang cared for her to tuck the corner of the quilt, then came to the living room outside and stretched, and moved his body for a while. The virgin body, who had been struggling for many years, was finally broken, which made him both happy and a little moved.
Breakfast was also delivered soon. Li Zhang saw that Qingzhi had not woken up yet, so he did not open the food box. Speaking of which, Qingzhi knelt outside the city gate for most of the day yesterday, and then the bride Chu Chengyu Lu again, so naturally she was overworked, so it was normal that she couldn't get up at this time.
Seeing that it was still early, Li Zhang stepped into the yard. Although this yard was not big, it was very complete, and there was all kinds of living facilities. There was even a kitchen next to it, and there was a small well in the corner of the yard. It was just that someone delivered food, and Li Zhang was too lazy to do it himself.
Because the weather became warmer, the dry flowers and plants in the yard began to sprout and branches. Before Li Zhang came, the flowers and plants here were left unattended, and there were withered and yellow hay everywhere. Li Zhang was idle, so he took care of the flowers and plants here. Now they had sprouted. Li Zhang picked up a bucket of water beside the well and began to water the flowers and plants. This bucket of water was brought up yesterday. Because the water in the well was too cool, it was not good for the flowers and plants to be directly poured up to water the flowers.
Life is actually very long, and in this long life, you must find some interests and hobbies for yourself to spend this long life. For example, Li Zhang used to like raising fish, but now he has slowly found that it is also very interesting to plant flowers and plants, especially watching these grasses grow tender green branches and leaves little by little, which also makes him feel unspeakable joy.
Just when Li Zhang was seriously watering the flowers and plants, he did not notice Qingzhi standing in front of the window and looking at him quietly, with a sweet smile on his lips. From today on, she and Li Zhang officially became husband and wife, and then supported each other to complete the rest of their lives.
"Husband, it's time for breakfast!" Just as Li Zhang finished watering the flowers, Qingori stood in front of the door and spoke to him. Li Zhang agreed immediately, then put down the tools in his hand and returned to the room. The breakfast had been arranged by Qingori, and Li Zhang was not polite, so he pulled Qingori to sit down for dinner.
However, after dinner, Li Zhang and Qingzhi stared at each other, but they didn't know what to do next? In the past, only Li Zhang himself was here, so he could play with flowers and plants when he was bored, or sleep with his head covering. But now, the two of them always have to find something to do, otherwise it would be too boring.
"Husband, why don't we play chess?" But before Li Zhang could speak, Aoi took the lead. Then she stood up and picked up a pair of Go from the bookshelf next to her. There were some basic furnishings in the room, such as books on the bookshelf, Go, etc., and Aoi usually likes to play Go, so she has noticed this pair of chess a long time ago.
"Play chess?" Li Zhang was a little hesitant at this time, because although he could play Go now, his chess skills were extremely poor, but he couldn't refuse. Finally, he nodded and agreed. As a result, Li Zhang threw the chess and surrendered in a short while.
"Haha, my husband doesn't have to let me deliberately. Your method of making chess is not very clever, and you can't even cheat a child." Qingzhi won too easily, thinking that Li Zhang was deliberately giving him, and he couldn't help but smile.
Li Zhang almost burst into tears when he heard this. It was a pity that he had really tried his best just now. Although his chess skills were relatively basic, they were not even inferior to children, right?
After a few games, Qingzhi looked at Li Zhang speechlessly. At this time, she finally realized that it was not Li Zhang who gave in to him, but his chess skills were really bad. Even if she deliberately gave in to Li Zhang, Li Zhang could still lose the chess game, which seemed to be intentional.
"Haha~, I'm not very good at Go, so why don't we play chess!" After losing to the seventh game, Li Zhang laughed dryly. Chess was also very popular among the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu even invented a kind of multiplayer chess. Qingzhi's love for chess was not just Go, and he nodded immediately after hearing this.
Chess is a chess that Li Zhang is good at. In the first game, he was also difficult to solve with Qingzhik's kill. In the end, he won one game, which greatly increased Li Zhang's confidence. He had a sudden idea and suddenly smiled and said, "Madam, it seems a bit boring to play chess alone. Why don't we add a lottery, right?"
"Okay, what's the lottery?" Qingori also smiled when she heard this. Although she put some water in the game just now, Li Zhang's chess strength was not bad, which made her finally feel the fun of playing chess.
"It's very simple. If I win, then... let me kiss you!" Li Zhang said at the end, a smile appeared on his face. A little more interesting thing between the couple is a good opportunity to enhance their relationship.
Although they were already husband and wife, Aoi lowered her head shyly when she heard Li Zhang's words, but in the end she nodded and agreed. However, she then asked in a low voice: "Then...what if I win?"
"Hahaha~ If you win, of course you will let you kiss me!" Li Zhang laughed and told this old joke in later generations. Qingzhi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been teased by his husband, which made her both ashamed and angry. She rushed over and had a fight with Li Zhang. As a result, the young man made a real fire again...
Li Zhang and Qingzhi were enjoying the wedding in this small yard under house arrest, but Liu E was in trouble. She thought hard for many days and had no result in dealing with Li Zhang. She could only lock him up for the time being, but she didn't expect that Qingzhi would happen again, and even more so that Miaoyuan would dare to disobey her will. Finally, she was angry and locked up Qingzhi in. Wanquan and Li Zhang were a pair of miserable little mandarin ducks.
"Empress, Your Majesty sent someone to ask about Li Duwei." At this moment, Luo Chongxun quickly came to Liu E's side and reported in a low voice. Since Li Zhang was locked up, Zhao Zhen would send someone to ask about it almost every day, and even had a fight with Liu E before. In addition to the previous issue of becoming a queen, this was the second time Zhao Zhen had quarreled with her.
"Hmph, he will send someone to come in the future and send it back directly, and there is no need to report it to me!" Liu E immediately snorted coldly.
Luo Chongxun immediately agreed when he heard this, but then hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "In addition, Concubine Du also sent someone to come here, saying that she wanted to come to pay homage to the queen mother in person, probably to plead for the princess."
Concubine Du was Miaoyuan's mother. Miaoyuan had led Qingzhihar to the Zongzheng Temple before, but Liu E also locked up Miaoyuan up with a sound, strictly prohibiting anyone from visiting him. Concubine Du felt sorry for her daughter and naturally wanted to plead for her daughter.
When talking about Miaoyuan, Liu E also showed a headache again. It would be fine if Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang were disobedient, but now even Miaoyuan dared to disobey her will, which made Liu E feel a deep sense of frustration. Could it be that her elder is really doing so unbearable?
"I asked someone to return to Concubine Du, Miaoyuan was only locked up for three days, and she would be released in three days." Liu E said with a tired expression. She had a good relationship with Concubine Du, and although Miaoyuan made a mistake, she was the only daughter of the late emperor and the only eldest princess of the Song Dynasty. Even if she was the queen mother, she could not really do anything to Miaoyuan.
"Yes!" Luo Chongxun agreed when he heard this, then turned around and was about to leave, but Liu E suddenly thought of something again, and immediately called him again and said, "Wait a minute, what are Li Zhang and Qingzhi doing?"
"This..." Luo Chongxun hesitated when he heard Liu E's words, and then said helplessly, "They young couple just got married under the auspices of the princess, so it is hard for me to send people to keep an eye on them. However, according to the people below, Li Duwei got up this morning to water the flowers, and then started playing chess after having breakfast with Liu Xiaoma."
"Water the flowers and play chess! Humph, their young couple lives so leisurely!" Liu E said annoyed again when she heard this.
Seeing Liu E's angry look, Luo Chongxun couldn't help but secretly complain that when he left the young lady of the Liu family with Li Zhang yesterday, even a fool could guess what was going on. However, Luo Chongxun also knew that although Liu E was angry with Li Zhang and Qingzhi, she was still thinking about her old love, otherwise she would not have really fulfilled them.
Liu E was so upset for a while that Luo Chongxun did not dare to leave at this time. Finally, Liu E suddenly turned around and asked, "Chongxun, how do you think the Ai family should punish Li Zhang?"
"This..." Luo Chongxun smiled bitterly again when he heard this. Even Liu E couldn't make up his mind about this matter, let alone him. However, since Liu E asked, he had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and said in the end, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I think that to punish someone, I must start from what he is worried about, such as the officials in the court are worried about the position being unsecured, the merchants are worried about no money available, and the farmers are worried about natural disasters and man-made disasters. So if the Empress Dowager wants to punish Li Duwei, you might as well start from what he is most worried about."
Liu E's eyes lit up when she heard Luo Chongxun's words, and nodded in agreement: "What she said makes sense, but what is Li Zhang worried about? An official position? He doesn't seem to care about money at all. He doesn't lack money. So what exactly is he worried about?"
Liu E finally fell into deep thought. In fact, Li Zhang was worried about very much, such as relatives, friends, etc., but Liu E was not willing to touch these people because she just wanted to teach Li Zhang a serious lesson and make him pay for the previous things, but she didn't want to really do anything to Li Zhang. After all, Liu E was not Wu Meiniang, and she couldn't do real ruthlessness, so she still couldn't do some too ruthless methods.
