The father and son reunited after a long absence, and they gave Li Qinzai a heavy gift as soon as they met. Their filial piety was truly touching.
It was a bit unexpected and different from the picture in Li Qinzai's mind.
Li Qinzai originally thought that he was holding Qiaoer in circles, and Qiaoer was laughing innocently in the spinning world. Li Qinzai's eyes were full of love, and coupled with the soft and soothing BGM, this scene could be included in poetry or painting, so beautiful that it looks like A Korean drama about to burst into tears.
Such a warm and romantic scene unexpectedly made Li Qinzai vomit all over his body. I am afraid it will be difficult for Qiaoer to have more than two girlfriends in this life, and all major events in his life can only rely on the rotten and depraved habit of arranged marriage.
"My dear, you are so filial to your father..." Li Qinzai sighed and let his servants hurriedly change his clothes.
Qiao'er's eyes were still dizzy and she couldn't stand firmly. Li Qinzai thought for a while and tentatively said: "How about we turn twice in reverse? A negative or a negative is a positive..."
"Dad, if you don't change, you will die if you change again..." Qiao'er decisively refused. Although his mind was dizzy, the remaining reason made him make the right choice.
Li Qinzai took his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go home."
The door of the mansion suddenly opened wide. Li Ji led his family and stood quietly at the threshold of the Duke's mansion. Everyone looked at the father and son with smiles.
Li Qinzai was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Greetings to grandpa, father, and mother..."
Li Ji stepped out of the threshold and said with a smile: "How many years have passed and no one has allowed me to go out to welcome guests. You are the first one."
"Grandpa has harmed his grandson. We are all members of the same family. Why should grandpa go out to greet me in person? If you are so polite today, when you chase me all over the courtyard with sticks in the future, my grandson's psychological gap will be very big."
Li Ji's face darkened: "The hero of the country has no decency at all, he is still the same bastard as before!"
Then Li Ji's tone softened, and a smile appeared on his face: "Although you are still mean-spirited, you did a good job in Tuyuhun. I don't praise you for your bravery in the battle, nor do I praise your courage to fight to the death in desperate situations... "
"The Tubo soldiers surrounded Shanzhou. In order to save the people of the city, you did not hesitate to put yourself in danger and used thousands of troops to face tens of thousands of Tibetan thieves. With your great benevolence and righteousness, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Li family. Qin Zai, Well done, I'm proud of you."
Mrs. Li Cui dragged Li Siwen forward, hugged Li Qinzai and cried. While crying, she rubbed Li Qinzai's head vigorously and sobbed: "Listening to the frontline troops announcing the time scared my mother. You are so stupid. How many times have you been beaten?" You are surrounded by thousands of Tubo thieves and you still dare to fight them, you bastard, you are so brave, aren't you?"
Li Qinzai's face was pinched hard by Mrs. Li Cui. He grinned in pain and said vaguely: "Mom, if you pinch me again, you will die. The white-haired man will give the black-haired man!"
"Bah! You said something very unlucky just after you got home! I heard that you saved tens of thousands of people and accumulated tens of thousands of merits in front of the Bodhisattva. If the Bodhisattva has a spirit and converts your merits into lifespan, how long can you live? century."
Li Qinzai smiled movedly. Parents' thoughts are always the purest. They just hope that their children will be well and live a long life.
All the relatives came forward to greet him one after another. The elders rubbed his head and said a few words of praise, while the younger generation beat their chests and picked their crotches to express their closeness. There was a lively and noisy atmosphere outside the Duke's mansion.
A pretty figure stood quietly outside the crowd, smiling at him with pursed lips.
When Li Qinzai saw her, he immediately separated from everyone, and regardless of secular etiquette, he hugged her tightly in front of everyone.
"Ah, husband, let go quickly. There are so many people here. How will I behave after this?" Cui Jie said with both shame and joy.
Li Qinzai still hugged her: "My mother-in-law, what's wrong with a hug? Don't they hug their own mother-in-law?"
Cui Jie blushed with shame and said: "Let go, the elders are laughing at us..."
Li Ji and other elders all smoothed their beards and watched the couple reunited with smiles. Li Cui was even more overjoyed and giggled: "This is a promising marriage. Look at the love between the couple. Next year He will definitely give us a grandson."
Li Siwen said nothing, but looked at the couple while stroking his beard with a smile.
After standing outside the door and chatting with his relatives, Li Ji invited everyone to come in and held a banquet in the front hall.
In the past, the Li family's lifestyle was quite simple. Although the house supported kabuki and music troupes like most powerful families, Li Ji, as the head of the family, rarely enjoyed singing and dancing. Usually, he only received this treatment when distinguished guests came to the house.
But today Li Qinzai returned to Beijing, and Li Ji ordered the singing and dancing for the first time. Amidst the music of silk, bamboo, flute and sheng, the beautiful and graceful dancers danced in the center of the front hall.
Li Qinzai was arranged to sit next to Li Ji, and Cui Jie sat on the other side of him. Qiao'er sat alone behind a small table, watching the dance of the dancers with confused eyes.
My little brain can't figure out what's so good about this dance of twisting and turning in circles, and why adults enjoy it so much.
It's better to shoot birds with a slingshot.
Cui Jie sat next to Li Qinzai, pouring wine for him with a smile. The moment she held the pot, Cui Jie noticed with sharp eyes that there was a half-moon-shaped mark on Li Qinzai's palm. At a glance, it was clear that he had been bitten by someone. The teeth on it The marks are very clear.
Cui Jie's expression changed several times, and the hand holding the pot trembled slightly. Finally, she took a deep breath, tried her best to smile, and still poured wine for Li Qinzai and Li Ji.
This half-moon-shaped tooth mark must be an extraordinary story. She was not involved in this story, but she knew that her husband would tell her the complete story.
People who come back from the gate of hell are lucky to be alive. The story about the tooth marks has become insignificant compared with life and death.
Cui Jie raised her eyes and looked at Li Qinzai. His expression was the same as before, he was still talking and laughing as before, and his words were still irritating. But after all, the husband and wife were of the same mind. Cui Jie saw something else on his face.
There is transformation, vicissitudes of life, and a touch of compassion and open-mindedness.
This was her husband. At this moment, a picture seemed to appear in her mind. He was holding a sharp sword, raising his head high in the desperate situation of a tight siege, and vowing to die unyielding. The soldiers under his command were full of courage, and they fought against the enemy with the determination to die.
I heard from military reports that he had been trapped in a tight siege by the Tibetan army and almost escaped death. If Su Dingfang's army had arrived a step too late, he and she would have been separated forever.
At that moment of desperate situation, besides dying with the enemy, did he think of his wife and children for a moment?
Maybe, maybe not. The world of men is not so easy to enter.
After rounds of toasts, Li Ji was already a little drunk. He patted Li Qinzai's shoulder with red eyes and said, "Qinzai, you did a good job. To be honest, even if I go on an envoy, I'm afraid I won't Better than you."
"Tuyuhun, since the Sui Dynasty, it has been the dream of the emperors of the Central Plains to be included in the territory. Now you have taken it with only thousands of soldiers and horses, and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Okay, haha! You are worthy of being a good member of my Li family. Son, this is what a man should do!"
