Is it a sweet trouble for my father-in-law to have too many people?
In his previous life, when sending blessings to friends during New Years and holidays, Li Qinzai always sincerely added, "I wish your father-in-law can be spread all over the world, and your father can fill the whole house."
Friends who receive blessing messages are often moved to tears and are bombarded with reciprocal blessings all night long.
I wonder which man has never had the dream of having his father-in-law spread all over the world?
But the men in the previous life were still too naive after all.
Having more father-in-laws is not necessarily a good thing, especially when the father-in-laws all meet each other, the scene is so explosive.
After hearing Manager Song's report, Li Qinzai's face darkened, and then he subconsciously glanced at Cui Linqian.
Cui Linqian smiled and said: "The other father-in-law is probably His Royal Highness Prince Teng? My dear son-in-law, you should only have two father-in-laws at the moment, right? You haven't added any new father-in-law recently, right?"
Li Qinzai laughed dryly: "No, no, my son-in-law had a nickname back then. People in the world called him 'The most affectionate person in Chang'an'. My father-in-law certainly doesn't have too many people..."
Cui Linqian nodded: "The ones hugging each other do have the 'most affectionate' demeanor, but I heard that there is another Princess Loulan who is not sure about you. If the father of that princess had not passed away, he would not be in this mansion today.
I'm afraid my father-in-law and I are all here together."
Li Qinzai grinned: "Not too much, not too much, not even enough for a table of mahjong..."
Cui Jie couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Dad, can you speak properly?"
Cui Linqian snorted and turned his head expressionlessly.
Manager Song was still standing outside the hall, blinking his cloudy old eyes, seemingly waiting for Li Qinzai's instructions, but in fact he was watching the excitement.
Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Go and ask the second lady to come out. I will go out to greet you."
Outside the gate of the courtyard, Prince Teng looked at him with an unhappy expression.
The lintel of the Li Family Courtyard is actually quite solemn and majestic. The pillars are newly painted with varnish, the rubble on the lintel is shiny, red and black, and the steps in front of the door are majestic and majestic.
Just looking at the momentum in front of this door, it is not comparable to that of ordinary merchants and nouveau riche.
But Prince Teng always disliked him. There was no reason, he just didn't like him.
The side door of the courtyard opened, and Li Qinzai greeted him enthusiastically.
"My father-in-law's presence has brought great joy to my humble abode. Thank you for your hard work."
Prince Teng glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "The virtuous son-in-law is a bit more handsome, and he has been beaten a few times in the romantic circle, right?"
"My father-in-law said something serious. My son-in-law is completely infatuated with your daughter. He is known as 'the most affectionate person in Chang'an'..."
Prince Teng looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, then his anger sank into his Dantian: "Ah... Bah!"
Li Qinzai's face darkened, but Prince Teng smiled maliciously: "My dear son-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. I have been feeling cold recently and my throat is not feeling well. Haha!"
Li Qinzai looked up at the sky and murmured: "Let's postpone the money for repairing that broken pavilion for another half a year. Well, that's the decision!"
Prince Teng's expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly: "A good son-in-law should not make trouble. He must be honest. Being in debt is not a good habit and will be bad for your reputation."
"I don't even have a face, so why do I need fame? My father-in-law is just kidding."
Prince Teng immediately regretted what he should not have done just now.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, the size of the debt determines the attitude of both parties. If the debt is small, it is the uncle who owes the debt. If the debt is too much, it is the uncle who owes the debt.
Li Qinzai owes King Teng 20,000 yuan. It is obvious that my son-in-law has the appearance of a great man.
Today, Prince Teng came to visit, firstly to see his daughter, and secondly to collect debts.
The 20,000 guan promised at the beginning, but a year has passed and nothing has been done yet. Prince Teng can't wait any longer. If he doesn't start construction next spring, he won't be able to explain to the officials in the palace.
However, King Teng was still unhappy about his daughter's marriage as a concubine. After seeing Li Qinzai, he was very angry and had no good words to say.
As a result, it was a mess.
A good son-in-law is not that good-tempered, and a few polite words are just to give face. If the father-in-law doesn't talk to others, a good son-in-law will never learn to be submissive.
Patting Li Qinzai's shoulder, King Teng said in a deep voice: "Xianxian, the construction of the pavilion is urgent. Now Hongzhou is reciting the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" by Xianxiu everywhere in Hongzhou. The foundation of the pavilion has just been laid, and countless people have gathered at the construction site to watch...
…”
"Moreover, local state and county officials and Mr. He Shuxue led the students to the construction site and recited the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" in unison. Look, my dear son-in-law, your article has become famous all over the world, but the most important part of the article, Prince Teng's Pavilion, is still
It is a piece of foundation, and it is obviously a beautiful story for the ages. How can a good son-in-law bear to let it be damaged?"
"Why don't we build the pavilion quickly? From now on, the pavilion and the article will complement each other, and I and my son-in-law will be famous throughout the ages. What do you think, my son-in-law?"
After saying this, King Teng sighed quietly.
When I first met Li Qinzai, I was manipulated by him to the point of being manipulated and deceived into losing my entire family. Now, even my daughter has been deceived and she has become his father-in-law, but I am still manipulated to the point of being manipulated by him.
In this life, when can we make a comeback?
Li Qinzai said sincerely: "My father-in-law, please be at ease. The money will be given to you. How about we try to get there before spring? Besides, my father-in-law has a big business and he does not need these 20,000 yuan..."
As he spoke, Li Qinzai turned to one side and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is inviting me inside. If you are an honored guest, how can you stand outside and talk? It's so rude."
Prince Teng nodded, and the two of them entered the side door of the courtyard.
After walking around the screen wall, passing through the front yard and entering the front hall, Prince Teng saw Cui Linqian kneeling in the hall and drinking.
Prince Teng paused and narrowed his eyes.
Cui Linqian also stood up and looked at Prince Teng with a smile on his face.
Li Qinzai sighed and silently stepped aside. In this scene, he didn't have much of a role. He mainly watched the two father-in-laws show off their acting skills.
Cui Linqian and Prince Teng are old acquaintances, having known each other many years ago.
The reason why Cui Jie and Jin Xiang have been best friends since childhood is because their fathers have known each other for a long time.
King Teng was demoted many times and was very arty. No matter where he was demoted, he always liked to drink and have fun with the local literati. Of course, he also had contacts with aristocratic families from various places.
We met Cui Linqian when King Teng was young and was demoted.
If it were not for the existence of Li Qinzai, when the two old acquaintances met at this moment, they would have run up to each other desperately like lovers who have been in a long-distance relationship for many years and gave each other a strong hug.
However, when Li Qinzai became their shared son-in-law, the atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became a little subtle.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Cui Linqian suddenly smiled: "Brother Yuan Ying?"
Prince Teng also smiled: "Brother Cui?"
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly, but their smiles were a little stiff.
Sensing that something was not right in the atmosphere in the hall, Cui Jie wisely left the room, hugged Hongbi and moved step by step to the outside of the hall, where she stood side by side with Li Qinzai.
"Husband, what should we do?" Cui Jie whispered in Li Qinzai's ear with a frown.
Li Qinzai blinked in confusion: "What should I do?"
Cui Jie raised her chin and said, "They... won't fight, right?"
Li Qinzai was stunned: "You haven't seen the two father-in-laws smiling so happily. How could they start fighting? Madam, you are too worried."
