One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter fortune and misfortune lie in
Li Qinzai was knighted, and Li Ji behaved very calmly. The most he could do was come out to greet his grandson in person, which was the limit of what he could do.
Li Qinzai, the person involved, also behaved very calmly. As he said himself, this title was optional. Li Zhi was polite, so he gave him a title. He was not polite, and he was satisfied with just some gold, silver, and fertile land.
Only the butler Wu Tong was more excited than the parties involved.
Li Qinzai walked towards the house, Wu Tong followed him and dusted him all the way from the door to the front hall before stopping in frustration.
After turning around, the whispers between Wu Tong and his servants still vaguely reached Li Qinzai's ears.
"Old Man has long said that when Fifth Young Master Gui's urine turned yellow, after taking Lao Chan's prescription to treat internal heat, his urine was not only as clear as a spring, but also became turbid. Lao Chan's prescription is amazing!"
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but turn around and said: "Steward Wu, I have never taken your prescription before."
Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, then he walked away with a smile.
Wu Tong's voice still vaguely came from the corner pillar outside the front hall.
"Don't believe in Wu Shaolang. The old prescription not only cures the fire, but also has the ability to communicate with the heaven and the earth. If you take it, you can hear the wind, thunder and clouds in the sky and the earth move. It's amazing!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" All the servants responded convincingly.
Li Qinzai grinned when he heard this in the front hall. Wu Tong, an old guy, was too talented to be a housekeeper. He should go to the palace to make elixirs for the emperor.
After entering the front hall and sitting down, Li Qinzai sighed sincerely as he looked at the familiar furnishings around him.
The British government is finally back.
For some reason, when he returned to Chang'an today, Li Qinzai's mood was a little different from before.
He once regarded the British Palace as his home. Now, the British Palace is still his home, but he feels as if he is back as a guest.
Perhaps in his subconscious mind, he did not earn the huge British government with his own hands. Although it was an honor, it did not belong to him.
The British Duke's Palace is Li Ji's British Duke's Palace.
Li Ji was sitting in the hall, holding Qiao'er in his arms.
It can be seen that Li Ji loves Qiao'er very much. The last time Qiao'er was kidnapped by gangsters, Li Ji's letter scolded Li Qinzai bloody. His tone was so violent and severe that he had never seen it before.
At this moment, Qiao'er was in his arms, and Li Ji would give her a bite from time to time. Qiao'er was pricked by Li Ji's beard and it hurt and itched, causing her to giggle.
A pair of great-grandfather and great-grandson were playing around for a long time. Li Ji only regained his serious appearance when he raised his eyes and looked at Li Qinzai.
"I heard that you have come up with a new thing called gunpowder?" Li Ji stroked his beard and said slowly: "I have seen the power of this thing in the palace with my own eyes. I have to say that if this thing is used In terms of military affairs, it is indeed like adding wings to a tiger, and I, the King of the Tang Dynasty, will surely conquer everything."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "My grandson was bored and messed around in his free time. I didn't expect that he succeeded. My grandson is also quite surprised."
Li Ji snorted: "On weekdays, there are no signs at all, and I get a powerful weapon to conquer the country without any sound. I have to say 'admiration' to you."
"Grandpa is serious. Everything is under the guidance of grandpa's words and deeds, and my grandson has achieved something occasionally. Every day when I think of grandpa's earnest teachings to my grandson, my grandson feels like a god has helped him, and his body is full of strength, and his thoughts suddenly flow like a spring. It’s like diabetes insipidus…”
Li Ji's face turned red and he waved his hands hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I can't stand it if you are thick-skinned or not. It is your credit that should be yours. Don't involve irrelevant people. I never taught you to do it." Gunpowder.”
As he spoke, Li Ji suddenly sighed and said: "But you are young after all, and you are very sharp in this matter. If you could have discussed this with me earlier, you might be able to present the gunpowder to Your Majesty in a gentle way, at least without attracting attention... …”
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Ji in confusion.
Li Ji said in a deep voice: "The news of His Majesty's knighthood is now known to the whole world, and you will inevitably come into the eyes of all the officials in the court. From now on, I am afraid that good and evil will be interdependent with each other, and it will be inevitable."
Li Qinzai said incomprehensibly: "Did my grandson just come into the eyes of the ministers in the court? I thought that when I made the God's Arm Bow, he was noticed by the big guys from all over the world."
Li Ji glanced at him and said: "You are not as important as you think. Whether it is a divine arm bow or a horseshoe, most of the veterans in the army attach great importance to you, and your reputation has not spread to the court."
"It's just that now that you have made gunpowder, it is so extraordinary that the ministers in the court will find it difficult not to pay attention to you. Today, you have attracted the attention of all directions. Everyone knows that my grandson, Li Ji, is great." , is a rising star among the distinguished sons of the court."
"At such a young age, I earned my title by myself without relying on my ancestors or my family. This level of ability is beyond the reach of those dandies in Chang'an City."
Li Qinzai said coyly: "Grandpa praised me so much that my grandson blushed..."
Li Ji sneered: "Do you think I am praising you? You have achieved merit, you have been awarded a title, and great benefits have fallen on you. Do you think you are the Qilin of the Li family that everyone praises? Others have nothing but envy. ?”
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Isn't it?"
Li Ji was also stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "What kind of environment and conditions are there in Ganjing Village that makes you so shameless? You were not so shameless before."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "Maybe my grandson's wings are stiff..."
Li Ji's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes began to wander left and right.
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched. He was very familiar with the eyes of his elders. There was no doubt that he was definitely looking for a convenient weapon.
"Grandpa, grandpa, calm down, your grandson was just joking, joking!"
It was too late, Li Jishun picked up a wine cup on the table and threw it at it. Li Qinzai ducked and narrowly avoided it.
Qiao'er looked at her great-grandfather and biological father curiously. She didn't understand what they were doing, but she was still amused and giggled.
Li Ji said with a cold face: "Your father went to Runzhou to perform his duties. Don't think that no one in the house will teach you a lesson. I am still here, so I don't mind doing it myself. Are your wings stiff? Ha, you will never be tough in front of me. "
Li Qinzai looked miserable.
This sentence is so poisonous, like an invisible curse.
"Grandpa, your grandson is not married yet. You'd better take back what you said, otherwise your grandson will have no choice but to have a wife... Uh, no, if you have Qiao'er, you will never have a wife."
Li Ji's cloudy old eyes blinked for a long time before he understood what Li Qinzai said, and he suddenly became furious.
You bastard, you dare to drive in front of grandpa!
A black shadow came like a shooting star, this time it was a wine bottle.
Li Qinzai dodged again, but was still spilled all over by the wine in the flask.
"You bastard, be honest with me when you return to Chang'an. Don't go out to cause trouble again. Countless eyes are staring at you. If someone catches you, the entire Li family will be dragged in."
After Li Ji finished speaking, he stood up and left, carrying Qiao'er back to the backyard for a stroll.
…………
Li Ji didn't say it thoroughly, he just nodded a little, but Li Qinzai understood it.
Being too young and being knighted suddenly is not a good thing, at least it will do more harm than good.
Although the advent of gunpowder was great and had a great impact on the Tang Dynasty, in the eyes of the veterans of the court, Li Qinzai was "lucky" after all.
In an environment where the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty deliberately reduced their titles, Li Qinzai suddenly emerged. The emperor actually created a new title for him, allowing those veterans who had dedicated their lives to the Tang Dynasty to become even the lowest baron. What do you think?
Surely you would not sincerely wish this young county man good fortune and longevity, right?
Early the next morning, Li Qinzai stretched out and walked out of the room feeling refreshed.
Qiao'er actually didn't wet the bed last night, which is an improvement.
Li Qinzai had a rare sleep and felt better.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days. The house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in preparation for the New Year, and the housekeeper and his servants are busy.
The snow in the yard was swept away, and he looked up at the sky. The sky was gray and there was no sunlight, so Li Qinzai had someone prepare a copper stove, glutinous rice wine, snacks and books in the side hall.
Among them, the book is a decoration, made for the servants to read, so that the servants can deeply realize that Wu Shaolang was not lucky enough to be knighted. People read books every day, and knowledge can change their destiny.
I don’t know what kind of book it is, but Li Qinzai didn’t read a word of it. He fell asleep as soon as he opened the book. It’s so magical and more effective than sleeping pills.
So Li Qinzai just got up, changed places, and took a nap in the side hall.
It was almost noon when he woke up, and he was pushed awake by Wu Tong.
Wu Tong reported carefully that there were visitors, and there were many visitors.
Li Qinzai walked out of the room dissatisfied and was shocked to see a crowd of people in the yard.
Seeing Li Qinzai walking out with a displeased look on his face, a bunch of people bowed and saluted at the same time.
"My disciple, Mr. He, was promoted to the county son, and his title will be passed down to generations."
