Chapter 1360 Deep love between father-in-law and son-in-law
Li Qinzai knows how to chat, he is very good at it.
Especially when chatting with my father-in-law, the content and depth can penetrate the soul and sublimate my life.
For example, now, Prince Teng is gnashing his teeth and his eyes are wide open. It is obvious that the words of his wise son-in-law have made him feel the warmth from his family.
I have to admit that my son-in-law does have many advantages, and he has nothing to say about his daughter.
It's a pity that he just has a mouth.
If he were mute, his son-in-law would be truly perfect.
"Shut up, I have nothing to say to you anymore..." Prince Teng said coldly: "People are already at your door, why don't you invite me in?"
Li Qinzai hurriedly turned aside: "My father-in-law, please invite me."
Prince Teng's face brightened slightly and he stepped in.
Weng's son-in-law walked into the front yard. Prince Teng looked at the scenery of the Duke's mansion and said, "How is my daughter? You and your wife...well, no, three? Four?"
The more he talked, the more angry he became. Prince Teng shouted: "There haven't been any new people in your backyard lately, have you?"
Li Qinzai was shocked, but he still said honestly: "Well, I have added a little one... She is a goddess doctor from Goguryeo. She is the savior of my grandfather and me. If I don't marry him, I can't ask my grandfather to give me my life."
Right? My son-in-law has no choice but to bite the bullet and take it into the house."
Prince Teng laughed angrily: "So, you have wronged your virtuous son-in-law?"
"My father-in-law said something serious. Repaying kindness with kindness is the tradition of my Li family. No matter how wronged my son-in-law is, he must bear it silently..."
Prince Teng said angrily: "Can't you hear the good words?"
"My father-in-law, please calm down. My son-in-law is as gentle and caring to your daughter as ever. Besides, my son-in-law married a goddess doctor, which is good for our whole family. If my husband is dying in the future, this goddess doctor will be there for me."
, wouldn’t it be nice to at least let you breathe for two more hours?”
King Teng looked livid, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.
God is so "happy", do you think I am happy?
He pointed at Li Qinzai angrily, and Prince Teng didn't know how to express his sense of superiority.
"My daughter is living with you. Are you sure you two are as loving as ever? She is not mad to death from you?"
"My father-in-law is really talking about this. My son-in-law is always full of witty words, which often makes your daughter giggle like a little hen laying eggs..."
Prince Teng's face turned even greener.
Li Qinzai paused for a moment, then slapped his thigh: "Speaking of hens that lay eggs, my son-in-law forgot to tell his father-in-law good news. You must have laughed heartily after hearing this..."
Prince Teng finally looked a little better and twitched his lips: "What good news?"
"I've made your daughter's belly bigger. Are you happy? Are you happy?" Li Qinzai stared at him expectantly, eager for his father-in-law to laugh immediately.
Prince Teng: “…………”
Or I should advise my daughter to make peace with this guy. It is really hard to imagine what a loving couple is like living with such a taciturn bastard.
Originally, it was good news that his daughter was pregnant, but when Li Qinzai said it, Prince Teng really couldn't laugh. Not only did he not want to laugh, he also wanted to kill someone with a knife.
Glancing at him coldly, Prince Teng said indifferently: "Take me to see your ancestor."
Li Qinzai led Prince Teng to Li Ji's study in the backyard.
King Teng met Li Ji as a junior. Although he was Li Shimin's brother, the age difference between him and Li Ji was too big, and compared with Li Ji's prestige in the court, King Teng was just a little Kalami.
When Li Ji saw his in-laws coming, he was very kind. He took Prince Teng to chat for a while in the study, and then ordered Li Qinzai to order his servants to hold a banquet for him.
After chatting for a while, Prince Teng did not dare to stay any longer, so he wisely left.
After leaving the courtyard, Jin Xiang was waiting for him outside the courtyard. When he saw his long-lost daughter, Prince Teng's eyes suddenly turned red, and the father and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After exchanging goodbyes for a long time, the father and daughter finally calmed down. Prince Teng stared at Jinxiang's belly and said, "Pregnant?"
Jin Xiang nodded shyly, his hands unconsciously touching his abdomen, with a look of love and longing on his face.
Prince Teng asked again: "Is that the bastard?"
Li Qinzai was shocked. Jin Xiang glared at Prince Teng fiercely: "How can the father speak? Is it not him or someone else?"
Prince Teng sighed and said sadly: "That's all, I was completely defeated by him after all..."
The fact that his daughter became Li Qinzai's concubine has always been King Teng's objection, so King Teng has always had a bad attitude toward Li Qinzai, and he still feels resentful about it.
Seeing his daughter stroking her belly and looking happy, Prince Teng shook his head.
Lovers are rare in the world, and he doesn't understand his daughter's happiness, but as long as she is happy, that's fine.
At noon, a banquet was held in the front hall of the Duke's Mansion, and Prince Teng was entertained with a high standard. Even the kabuki and music troupes maintained in the mansion were rarely called out to entertain the guests with singing and dancing.
When he heard that his in-laws were coming, Li Siwen rushed back from the Ministry of Civil Service. The couple had a pleasant chat with their in-laws.
Prince Teng's mood gradually became brighter. Although his son didn't speak human language, fortunately his parents were still good at chatting. After a family dinner, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, Prince Teng was a little drunk, and Li Qinzai accompanied him for a walk in the backyard.
Only then did Mr. Weng get to the point of the conversation.
"Has my father-in-law been busy promoting sweet potato cultivation in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty these past two years?"
Prince Teng grunted and said: "The Emperor has appointed me as the inspector, and I have only done one thing in the past two years, which is to promote sweet potatoes. I have personally visited all the remote villages and counties, towns and cities."
Li Qinzai asked with genuine concern: "What are the results of the promotion?"
King Teng smiled and said: "It's not bad. He has the official position of inspector and the status of vassal king. The governors and magistrates of various states will give him some thin noodles. Besides, planting sweet potatoes is not harming them, but giving them political achievements. Who would object?"
"Nowadays, sweet potatoes have been popularized in Guanzhong, Hebei, Huainan and other provinces in the Tang Dynasty. Although officials and farmers in various places have some doubts about this product, and the area planted in the first two years was not large, as long as they see the yield of sweet potatoes, they will continue to grow. Planting will definitely be expanded in a few years. After all, the yield of this product is several times higher than that of millet and wheat. Who would refuse?"
King Teng looked at Li Qinzai and finally smiled: "Leaving aside the character of a virtuous son-in-law and his conduct in life, just saying that the discovery of sweet potatoes is really a great virtue. It has established a destiny for the people of thousands of generations. In terms of merit, Even the Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings is not as good as you."
"To tell you the truth, my dear son-in-law, when I returned to Beijing, I passed by the villages where sweet potatoes were popularized and saw that many farmers had memorial tablets dedicated to your longevity in the main halls. They burned incense and added oil every day, and the fruit tribute was endless. I
I am really envious when I see it..."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "I never thought that my father-in-law would like this kind of thing. If my father-in-law likes it, my son-in-law is willing to set up a piece for you at home..."
Before he finished speaking, Prince Teng became angry again: "Shut up! How long has it been and you haven't spoken to others anymore! The farmer's family set up a longevity tablet for you. What kind of tablet do you want to set up for me?"
