Chapter 427: Only seeing the person in front of you
The feud between Li Qinzai and the head of Jinxiang County came out of nowhere.
Originally they were just casual acquaintances, and even had more grievances than kindness, but this time Li Qinzai was imprisoned and Jin Xiang ran for him, but Li Qinzai was puzzled, and the grudge between him and her became more and more complicated and confusing.
So Li Qinzai really wanted to ask her what kind of medicine she took wrongly, so that she would run to help him.
His relationship with her isn't that good, right?
I hurriedly came to the front hall of the Duke's Mansion and saw Cui Jie and Jin Xiang sitting in the room, holding hands and chatting intimately.
Seeing Li Qinzai come in, Cui Jie stood up with a smile and greeted him: "Husband, the county lord is here. After I heard that your husband was imprisoned, the county lord was also running back and forth for her husband."
Jin Xiang suddenly showed an uncomfortable look and said: "I... my father wrote a letter asking me to help after hearing about it. After all, my father owes County Uncle Li a favor."
Li Qinzai immediately understood: "Thank you so much, His Highness Prince Teng and the County Lord for working for me. This kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I don't know how to repay it. Next time if Prince Teng goes to jail, I will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, Cui Jie quickly covered his mouth with quick eyes and hands, glared at him fiercely, and said, "My husband said such stupid things."
As she spoke, Cui Jie smiled forcefully at Jin Xiang and said, "My husband is still drunk and talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Jin Xiang glanced at him indifferently and said: "I have already learned about County Uncle Li's temper. If I really got angry with him, I would be pissed to death by him."
Li Qinzai smacked his lips. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't have the same knowledge as a villain?
"I will give the county chief another day a message, "Don't be angry," and recite it three times a day to cultivate your moral character and keep your qi alive." Li Qinzai's smile was dry.
Jin Xiang looked him over and said, "I heard that County Uncle Li accepted two princesses as his disciples?"
"That's right."
"The two princesses are the daughter of Concubine Xiao Shu. She was once the queen's life-and-death enemy. Uncle Li accepted them as his disciples. Isn't he afraid that the queen will be unhappy?"
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The queen must be reasonable. Her grudge with Concubine Xiao Shu is a matter of the previous generation. What does it have to do with the two princesses? Since I have accepted them as disciples, as long as I don't die, I must keep them safe."
"
What he said with a smile was extremely firm in his tone.
Jin Xiang's eyes were filled with brilliance and he looked at him deeply. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. He couldn't show any more emotions in front of Cui Jie, so he had to turn his head to one side.
"I deeply admire County Uncle Li's responsibility, but you still have to be careful. You are Jie'er's husband. If you go to jail this time, Jie'er's world will fall. I don't want to see Jie'er alone and helpless.
Wash your face with tears."
Li Qinzai was moved in his heart. He looked at Cui Jie affectionately and said, "If my husband is killed in the future, it doesn't matter whether you remain a widow or not. The important thing is to burn money for me and make payments on time every month. Don't forget it."
If you forget, I will come up personally to ask for salary, and then we will not be happy."
Cui Jie and Jin Xiang were both stunned, and then Cui Jie became furious. She didn't care about Jin Xiang's presence and used a set of Nine Yin White Bone Claws on Li Qinzai, scratching, scratching and pinching.
"No matter what nonsense your husband says, it's not bad luck! How can you curse yourself!"
Seeing Li Qinzai's painful look, Jin Xiang felt relieved and couldn't help but said: "That's right!"
Li Qinzai grinned and said, "My wife went crazy and made the county boss laugh."
Jin Xiang rolled his eyes at him and said: "I haven't finished what I just said... The Shengsheng case is over, but it is not in the past for Uncle Li. The queen is quite powerful now, so Uncle Li had better think of a way
Ease your relationship with the queen, otherwise you may not be able to cause trouble."
Li Qinzai gave a perfunctory hum and raised his head inadvertently, but caught the flash of worry in Jin Xiang's eyes.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but be startled. This look in his eyes... seemed to mean something else.
Is she really interested in me? Haven't I always been a liar in her heart? Is this all a lie to create feelings?
Cui Jie did not doubt that he was there. She held her arm affectionately and said with a smile: "Rui'er came to visit today. Did you come here specifically to remind my husband?"
Jinxiang's pretty face turned red, but she said arrogantly: "I don't have the time to spare, but I just mentioned it casually. I heard that you are going back to Ganjing Village tomorrow, so I came over to meet you. You are the uncle of Li County.
Husband and son, I don’t know when I’ll see you next time.”
Cui Jie shook her arm and said: "You have nothing to do in Chang'an, so why not follow me to Ganjingzhuang to stay for a while..."
Jin Xiang bit his lower lip and said, "No, I still have to stay in Chang'an City to handle some chores for my father. I will visit you when I have free time. You guys... take care of yourself."
While saying take care, Jin Xiang couldn't help but glance at Li Qinzai with his beautiful eyes. The deep nostalgia and infatuation in his eyes were like thick fog covering the sky. He couldn't see the past or the future. He could only see the person in front of him.
…………
After packing their luggage, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie finally hit the road and left Chang'an City.
After bidding farewell to Li Ji, the family of three got into the carriage, while Li Sujie and the two princesses sat in the other carriage.
It was sunset when we returned to Ganjingzhuang. Li Qinzai smelled the familiar smell of cooking smoke and took a deep breath.
Returning to this rural village from the stormy Chang'an City, Li Qinzai felt truly comfortable. When the carriage drove into the village entrance, his heart was filled with peace and tranquility.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the farmers are cleaning up the open space in front of their houses to dry the grains. Although this year's harvest is definitely not as good as in previous years, the owner has exempted the farmers from rent, and also arranged for the young laborers in the village to dig canals and repair warehouses.
Farmers don't have to worry about starving their whole family because of the work.
Seeing the Li family's tribe and carriage entering the village, the villagers stepped aside one after another. Li Qinzai couldn't sit still in the carriage and immediately ordered the car to stop. He jumped off the carriage and walked towards the other courtyard, constantly greeting the villagers warmly along the way.
In the carriage, Qiao'er said in confusion: "Why did dad get out of the car and walk? We will be home soon."
Cui Jie hugged Qiao'er and chuckled: "Sitting in a carriage will inevitably seem domineering. Your father got out of the carriage and walked to avoid making the villagers uncomfortable. You must know that your father has a title and follows the rules and etiquette.
At this place, all the farmers must salute you, but your father didn't like it, so he got off the bus."
Qiao'er suddenly realized: "Just like the children in the village always call me 'Little Mr.', although they respect me, I am also afraid that they will not play with me because of my identity..."
Cui Jie smiled and said: "Yes, that's the truth. Your father doesn't want the villagers to be separated from him. Qiao'er, when you grow up, no matter how noble your status is, don't act condescending to the poor people."
, that’s really annoying. Give them more respect, and they’ll get more help when things happen.”
Pointing to Li Qinzai who was walking slowly outside the carriage, Cui Jie smiled and said: "Your father is your role model."
Qiao'er nodded in understanding.
Then Qiao'er suddenly broke away from Cui Jie's hand, jumped out of the carriage, followed Li Qinzai a few steps, put her little hand in Li Qinzai's, and walked with him.
Li Qinzai was startled, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qiao'er earnestly greeting the farmers.
The father and son held hands, bathing in the golden sunset, and the shadows behind them stretched infinitely and merged.
