The answer was shocking. Li Qinzai's eyes widened and he didn't recover for a long time.
In his impression, I have always been relatively strong. She has a distinguished background. Like Cui Jie, she comes from a noble family. She is the daughter of the Boling Cui family. When they got married, to put it bluntly, my father was even a bit worthy. Don't fall in love with her.
This is not an exaggeration. More than twenty years ago, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, half of the people in the court were reckless heroes and the other half were members of aristocratic families.
Li Ji is a typical Cao Mang who was born in Wagangzhai. In the eyes of the aristocratic family, these generals who followed Emperor Taizong to conquer the country are considered to be emerging dignitaries at best, or nouveau riche at worst. How can they compare with the aristocratic family? The millennium culture and power heritage of the clan.
Li Qinzai never expected that such a powerful mother would allow his father to take a concubine...
What the hell, do the old couple think their life is too dull and want to find some excitement in their lives?
Imagine that I am nestling in my father's arms, complaining bitterly that I accompany that vixen to look at the snow, the stars and the moon. From poems and songs to the philosophy of life, I didn't even look at the snow, the stars and the moon with you. From the poems and songs Talking about the philosophy of life...
Li Qinzai couldn't help but shudder. The picture was so beautiful that he shuddered.
The two of them are almost a hundred years old together. It's best not to make such a scene, which will offend your eyes and deceive your son...
Looking at Zhao Daoyun in front of him, Li Qinzai said: "Since you have come to Chang'an, why don't you go to the Duke's Mansion to pay homage to my grandfather?"
Zhao Daoyun shrank, lowered his head and said: "A humble outsider dare not see the true God."
Li Qinzai nodded, looked at the environment of Guanyi, and said: "In that case, I am still living in Guanyi. If I am short of money or bullied, I will ask someone to send a letter to the Duke's Mansion. After all, we can be considered a family."
Zhao Daoyun saluted: "Thank you... Marquis Li County."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "You are my elder, just call me Piao Zi Jingchu."
Zhao Daoyun shook his head, obviously he didn't dare to call him that.
Taking another look at Zhao Daoyun, who was about the same age as him, Li Qinzai shook his head and sighed: "What a sin!"
…………
After leaving Guanyi, Li Qinzai's face suddenly darkened.
Liu Asi followed him and said hesitantly: "Fifth Young Master, Erlang has accepted Mrs. Ru, is this... considered a happy event?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "I'm so happy, but the chickens and dogs are restless."
Liu Asi was surprised: "The villain sees that the outer room is weak and sensible, and very abiding by the rules. How can he be so restless?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "Think about it with your pig brain. Today, Zhao Daosheng was drunk in a restaurant and had a conflict with us. Do you think it is really a coincidence? There are one or two million people in Chang'an City. It is such a coincidence that he and I met?"
Liu Asi became more and more surprised: "Did Zhao Daosheng conflict with you on purpose? What did he do for that?"
"For his sister, to increase his sense of presence, and to pave the way for his sister to enter the Duke's palace."
Li Qinzai sneered: "Look, I met Zhao Daosheng, and then naturally met his sister. His sister was so infatuated that she chased her from Runzhou to Chang'an and lived pitifully in the Guanyi. Now that I know the two siblings, Do you want to tell your parents about this?"
"During the Chinese New Year, can my father have the heart to leave his siblings in the hotel and ignore them? What happens next? Is it logical to bring them into the Duke's Mansion to celebrate the New Year?"
Liu Asi was stunned for a long time, and then said nonchalantly: "That Zhao Daosheng, how can he have such a city?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Why do you think this was Zhao Daosheng's idea?"
Liu Asi was surprised: "Is it the outsider's idea?"
Li Qinzai did not answer and continued to walk to the Duke's Mansion with a sullen face.
Liu Asi added: "Since the Fifth Young Master has seen through the tricks of the siblings, what will he tell the Second Young Master and the Second Madam when he returns?"
"What are you talking about? I was just wandering on the street today, nothing happened, I didn't encounter anything." Li Qinzai sneered: "They want to use me as a pawn, but these two guys are still a bit immature."
Liu Asi sighed: "If you want to enter the Duke's Mansion, just say so, why bother playing with these tricks..."
"If you say it directly, you have lost your duty. After all, she is a concubine. The man and the wife do not talk to each other. How dare she make any demands?"
Liu Asi scratched his head: "It's not a good thing to have a concubine. You're already jealous before you even enter the house."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "When we were in Tuyuhun, we heard that you made a lot of money by looting tribes. Do you also plan to take a concubine?"
Liu Asi grinned: "I originally had this plan, but after thinking about it now, I decided to give it up. I really can't control the two women in the family, and my mother-in-law is not a good person. I drove her to panic and killed her.
Either I or my concubine will be killed, which is not a good thing."
"It's better to spend the money in a brothel, be the groom every night, and change the bride every night, haha, it's so fun."
"Ah Si, you are alive and well."
…………
When he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai did not say a word. Regarding the encounter with the Zhao siblings, Li Qinzai seemed to have lost his memory and never mentioned it at all.
Bu Qu, who followed him, was also given a gag order and was not allowed to speak nonsense in the mansion.
I wanted to go to my mother and ask her why she allowed my father to take concubines. However, when Li Qinzai thought of this troublesome matter, he felt a lot worse. He simply didn't bother to ask. It was already an established fact. What's the use of asking? It's better to let the old man take concubines.
It would be more practical for Dad to quickly make a will.
I tutored Qiao'er in the backyard for a while. Fortunately, Qiao'er was very talented in learning. Li Qinzai had not yet experienced the despair of his parents in his previous life. The teaching process could be described as a loving father and a filial son, and both parties were very happy.
After wandering to the study room in the backyard with nothing to do, Li Qinzai subconsciously glanced at the peonies outside the study room, and was shocked to find that the peony was no longer there.
I still remember that Li Qinzai caused trouble several times. I heard that the peonies ended up being uprooted by buckwheat. Later, Li Ji probably gave up and the peonies disappeared from the backyard.
It's Li Ji's fault. Who asked him to give the peony a coquettish name of "Embroidery Lady", which made people unable to help but destroy the flower when they heard it.
Don't you think it's easy to make a living with a humble name? If Li Jiruo named the peony "Gou Sheng", who would be interested in harming it?
Opening the door of the study, Li Ji was studying the art of war. When he saw Li Qinzai coming in without knocking, Li Ji frowned and was about to scold him. Li Qinzai's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he made a "bang bang bang" sound from his mouth, indicating that he had knocked on the door.
Li Ji snorted, lowered his head and continued reading, not wanting to talk to him.
Li Qinzai did not see him outside. He sat down opposite him and sighed quietly: "Grandpa, my father has a concubine in Runzhou. Do you know about this?"
Li Ji said without raising his head: "I received a letter from your father at the end of autumn and told me about it."
Li Qinzai said dissatisfiedly: "Am I the last one in the whole family to know? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I pick it up?"
Li Ji closed the book and looked thoughtful: "More than twenty years ago, on a stormy night, there was a cry of a baby in our latrine. Your father heard the sound and looked for it. He suddenly found you swimming in feces and urine. The dog scratched you. …”
Li Qinzai's face suddenly turned as black as ink: "Grandpa, is it appropriate for you to be so naughty at your age?"
