Li Qinzai spared the Korean lady during the Bingzhou period. Not only that, he also gave her advice, asking her to take her back to Chang'an to apologize to Empress Wu, which dispelled Empress Wu's murderous intention.
So it's not surprising that the Korean lady gave Li Qinzai a gift. She still understands this worldly thing.
As for why Li Ji rejected the gift from the Korean lady, Li Qinzai also understood his thoughts.
The matter of Bingzhou has been settled, and all relevant persons involved have been questioned. Li Qinzai acted impartially.
Empress Wu wanted Mrs. Han's life, but Li Qinzai violated her wishes. If we look at the matter, Mrs. Han's crime would not lead to death, and Li Qinzai would not have a guilty conscience.
But if the British government accepts a heavy gift from a Korean lady, the nature of it will be different.
If it fell into Empress Wu's ears, how would she understand it?
It was not a grudge at first, but now it offended Empress Wu to death.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel extremely happy. He was glad that having an old man in his family was like having a treasure.
Fortunately, Li Ji helped him prevent a disaster before he returned to Chang'an. Otherwise, if he had unknowingly accepted the heavy gift from the Korean lady, Li Qinzai and Empress Wu might have become enemies.
With Li Qinzai's current small body, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat this domineering female CEO.
Feeling lucky, Li Qinzai ran toward the backyard study with even more joy.
I'm back, dear old Beibi...
There was no need to be polite at home, so Li Qinzai rushed into Li Ji's study.
Li Ji was startled, and then became furious: "Are there no rules? You don't even knock on the door, and your childhood upbringing has been fed to the dogs?"
Li Qinzai immediately lowered his eyebrows and said, "It was the door that made the first move...Grandpa, my grandson is wrong."
Li Ji looked him up and down and said angrily: "You are already a married man, why are you still so unstable? You have a wife and children. If your wife and children see you with this out-of-the-box look, you won't be afraid of being laughed at."
Li Qinzai smiled shamelessly and said: "How can my grandson care about other people's jokes? If my wife and children dare to laugh at me, I will slap them with my big mouth."
Li Ji sneered: "He looks like a man."
Li Qinzai said humbly: "I learned it from my father."
Li Ji rolled his eyes at him and said, "How was your trip to Bingzhou? I heard that you did a good job. Before leaving, there were people who asked you to take off your boots. Haha, I have never experienced such an honor in my life."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "My grandson actually didn't do much. He just cheated a few grain merchants, suppressed grain prices, arrested a few people, and offended the Wang family in Taiyuan. Several people involved in the case in the Chang'an court were also dragged in by grandson." Just dismounted...that's all!"
"But, it's just..." Li Ji was stunned, stroking his beard and sighing: "In the past two years, you have become more capable, and you have offended more and more people. I am really worried. I wonder if I will be able to avoid the troubles you cause in the future. . ”
"I don't have much time left, and I'm even more worried about how you will deal with yourself after you die. Qin Zai, I'm glad that you have the ability, but after all, you are too sharp. This world doesn't mean that everything will be smooth sailing if you have the ability. If you don't know how to curb your sharpness, Such people often die more ugly than mediocre people."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "My grandson has written it down, and he will be thrifty and modest in the future."
Li Jin hummed, and then laughed: "You have done a good job in Bingzhou. You have made decisions for the people, dug canals and built warehouses, and made great achievements for the local people. To be able to do what you have done as an official in one term is already considered a great person." You are a good official, and you have not disgraced the family name of my Li family. It is very good."
It was rare to hear words of praise from Li Ji, and Li Qinzai was excited: "My grandson did a good job, is there any reward for grandpa?"
Li Ji's eyes narrowed instantly: "What do you want?"
"Grandpa showed off his old face and told His Majesty that he would make me a Duke or something. My grandson also wants to be a Duke and show his dignity..."
Li Ji smoothed his beard and smiled kindly: "I didn't expect my grandson to be so motivated. Haha, I'm very relieved."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Grandpa agreed? Is it really okay?"
Li Ji continued to smile: "Climb out smoothly, old man."
…………
After staying at the British government residence for one night, Li Qinzai couldn't wait to say goodbye to Li Ji and planned to return to Ganjingzhuang in Weinan.
A person who has a family may not be stable, but he will definitely care about his wife and children.
He led Liu Asi and other troops out of the city quickly, and arrived at Ganjing Village three hours later.
The familiar green mountains and green waters came into view. Li Qinzai took a deep breath while riding on the horse and smiled comfortably from the bottom of his heart.
This is his final destination.
After entering the village, Li Qinzai went straight to the Li family courtyard without disturbing others.
After getting married to Cui Jie, as the newlywed young lady of the British government, Cui Jie can now legitimately live in the Li family's villa, and she has become the mistress of the villa as expected.
After getting off his horse and entering the gate of the other courtyard, Li Qinzai just walked around the screen wall and saw Qiao'er playing alone in the yard with her butt stuck out.
Li Qinzai snickered a few times, hid behind the screen wall, picked up a pebble on the ground, and secretly threw it towards Qiao'er.
The pebble hit Qiao'er's butt. Qiao'er was startled, turned around and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He scratched his head in dissatisfaction and continued to play with his butt stuck out.
Li Qinzai threw another pebble at him, and Qiao'er turned around to look for the murderer again, but to no avail.
When he threw pebbles for the third time, Qiao'er finally got impatient and took out a firecracker and a firecracker from his arms. Before Li Qinzai could react, Qiao'er lit the fuse and threw it towards the screen wall...
The movement was so fast that Li Qinzai didn't even have time to escape. Before he could react, the firecracker had landed directly at his feet, and then... Bang!
After the loud noise, Qiao'er pointed at the screen wall and said angrily: "Who is hiding behind and plotting to kill me? Come out quickly, or I will throw firecrackers again!"
After a while, Li Qinzai slowly walked out with green smoke rising from his head. The joy of seeing him again after a long separation disappeared invisible with the green smoke above his head.
"Qiao'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the firecrackers have become more and more accurate." Li Qinzai said expressionlessly.
Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then blinked quickly, and then flew towards him with great joy: "Dad——!"
The speed was so fast that Li Qinzai subconsciously moved his hands and held the flying Qiao'er firmly in his arms, burying his head into his fleshy neck, sucking the baby, sucking the baby...
Qiao'er was so amused that she giggled. It took a long time to stop and said, "Did Dad just return to Zhuangzi?"
"Um."
"Have you finished your work with dad?"
"It's done."
"Does that mean I don't have to leave anymore and can spend time with Qiao'er every day?"
Li Qinzai rubbed his head and said, "Not necessarily, but most of the time dad will be with you."
"Why is dad's head smoking?"
"Then I have to ask you, what a big daddy..." Li Qinzai sighed: "Qiao'er, let's try to be reasonable from now on, and we have to change this habit of throwing firecrackers whenever we disagree!"
Qiao'er kept giggling but didn't respond to his words, obviously she had no intention of changing this problem.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel a little worried. Qiao'er had a tendency to gradually develop into a naughty child. In the future, the huts in the whole village might be...
A pretty figure hurriedly ran out of the backyard. Li Qinzai put down the buckwheat, looked at her with a smile, and stretched out his arms towards her: "Madam, kiss, hug, hold high..."
Cui Jie ran out in one breath, her breath a little disordered. Even though she was married, she blushed shyly, spat and turned away.
Seeing that Li Qinzai was still stretching his arms stubbornly, Qiao'er couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Auntie, just give me a hug. Dad just got hit by a firecracker..."
