The mountain forest where Zuixian Villa is located has a total of four mountain springs, two streams, and a small river. It can be said that it is a blessed place surrounded by mountains and rivers!
The mountain spring is for drinking, the creek is used to add a beautiful scenery to Zuixian Villa, and the creek is for civilian use. The lower reaches are used to raise chickens and ducks, while the upper reaches are for people living in Zuixian Villa.
People do laundry and dishes.
The setting sun hangs in the mid-air, like a jade plate. When it shines on the water, the river becomes golden, as if magical little stars are shining; when it shines on the green trees, the green trees are like wisps of light.
With a layer of oil, it looks more green.
"Eh? Which servant did this? There are so many bowls and chopsticks on the floor. Where has this person gone? It's really unreasonable. I must call Lao Tian to ask later to see who is slacking off. Detain him
Let’s talk about half a month’s salary.”
Li Qi and Li Qingzhao came to the river and suddenly saw a wooden basin placed by the river. The bowls and chopsticks in the wooden basin were piled up like a mountain. This was obviously someone being lazy. Li Qi screamed in anger.
"Isn't the person right in front of you now?"
Seeing Li Qi's furious look, Master Li covered his lips and chuckled.
Li Qi suddenly turned his head, not sure whether he was unsure or not sure, but fearfully asked: "What do you mean by this, Miss Shishi?"
Master Li smiled and said: "These are the dishes and chopsticks that will be washed at noon today!"
It turned out that by the end of the competition, both Li Qi and Mrs. Qin were exhausted and had no choice but to surrender.
After lunch, they all went back to their rooms and took a long nap. Li Qi originally thought that sleeping would make people forget some things, especially for a beauty like Li Shishi, but who knew that as soon as they got up, they would forget something.
Master Li urged him to finish the work quickly.
Today's things are done today.
There is no way. Are you willing to admit defeat? Li Qi knows that if he defaults on his debt, Master Li will definitely default on his debt as well. A few pairs of bowls and chopsticks can offset how many songs Master Li sings. Moreover, there are two people to share the punishment, and the victory
Only he can enjoy the fruit of it, which is not worthwhile at all.
Li Qi only came to accept the punishment, but he did not expect that there would be so many dishes and chopsticks to wash.
"Are you mistaken?" Li Qi said angrily: "These--so many bowls? Who eats them! Don't think I'm not a cook. I remember clearly what I had for lunch today. There are four in total.
For a dish, the four of us each have a pair of bowls and chopsticks, up to ten bowls. Did you eat the extra bowls and chopsticks while hiding in bed?"
Master Li smiled and said: "You are right, the four of us did use less than ten bowls, but we have to follow the rules!"
"Rules? What rules?"
Li Shishi explained very patiently: "When we were gambling on the boat earlier, the bet was usually limited to the boat. Now of course it has to be limited to the courtyard, Maqiao, Shiniang and their bowls and chopsticks. Of course, you are also responsible for the dishes and chopsticks."
"Damn! What kind of rule is this?"
"You can't blame me."
"Then you mean it's my fault?"
"You didn't make it clear when you were betting, and you even said you were certain to win. Now of course you have to accept the punishment according to the recently established rules."
"you---."
Li Qi was furious and said to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, don't you have any opinions at all?"
Isn't this all caused by you? Mrs. Qin said helplessly: "You can't even explain it, what else can you expect from me."
I knew you were unreliable. Li Qi turned to Li Qingzhao again and said coquettishly: "Sister Qingzhao---."
Li Qingzhao immediately shed goosebumps all over the place. He said: "Don't look at me. It was you who wanted to bet in the first place. You should discuss this matter with the teacher."
There was no way, this soft thing was not enough, Li Qi had no choice but to be tough, and glared at Master Li fiercely, saying: "Miss Master, please keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. If you amuse me today, aren't you afraid of me in the future?"
Are you entertaining me? You know, you still owe me a few songs."
Li Shishi rolled his eyes and said, "If you are willing to offset it, I can reluctantly accept it." In fact, she originally set up this bet just to offset the debt she owed Li Qi.
Humph! I knew you had this idea in mind, but you still forced it? I really don’t know who forced whom. Li Qi snorted: "You have a beautiful idea."
"Then wash it for me." Master Li pointed towards the wooden basin.
"you---."
Li Qi gritted his teeth and said, "You have to think clearly. If you make me angry, be careful if I ask you to sing Eighteen Touches."
"Eighteen touches?"
Li Shishi asked curiously: "What are the eighteen strokes? Could it be a mahjong nursery rhyme?"
"Mahjong nursery rhymes? Miss Shishi, your imagination is really rich! Okay! Today I will let you see what the eighteen touches are!"
Li Qi smiled wickedly and suddenly sang loudly: "One touch, reach out and touch the silk on my sister's face, the dark clouds flew across the sky for a long time. Two touch, reach out and touch the front of my sister's head, the heaven is full and addictive. Three touch, reach out and touch the front of my sister's head, the heaven is full and addictive."
Touch the sister's hairy bay, spread out and spread out in the middle and wide. Touch the fourth touch, reach out to touch the sister's eyes, the black eyes are white. The fifth touch, reach out to touch the needle on the nose of the sister, you feel angry and go to the outer nunnery. Touch the sixth touch,
He stretched out his hand to touch the young lady's mouth, and the baby's eyes smiled slightly."
This is not a mahjong nursery rhyme, it is clearly a lewd song!
"Dirty!"
The three girls spat together, all of them blushing with shame, and they all despised Li Qi.
Li Qi also risked his life. Without some cruel information, these ladies would not regard him as a man. They said: "Miss Shishi, this is still the sixth touch. There are also twelve touches. If you can recognize
Shi Wu, I can also consider the songs carefully, how about it?"
Where did this person find such obscene music? Li Shishi, a woman who came out of the world, has never heard of any kind of pornographic music, but Li Qi's song "Eighteen Touches" left her with lingering fears. After all, this visual sense
It was too strong. I originally wanted to compromise, but seeing the arrogant look on Li Qi's face, I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart, and said: "If you dare to listen, I dare to sing. Unless you are willing to offset it, everything will be avoided."
talk."
"Miss Shishi, please don't act out of loyalty!"
"This is also what Master wants to say to Master Li."
"Okay! I'll try to write out the lyrics tonight and send them to you."
"Before that, you have to wash this bowl."
"You are so cruel! Let's just ride on the donkey and read the songbook, and we'll see."
"We'll see, we'll see."
As he spoke, Master Li suddenly took Li Qingzhao's hand and said, "Sister, the scenery here is very beautiful. Let's go and have a look. We'll see if they wash the dishes later."
"Let's go?" Mrs. Qin said with a hint of panic: "Master, aren't you here to supervise?"
Li Qi's eyes flashed, and Zhengyi said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, I am the embodiment of justice. As long as I am here, if any monsters dare to approach you, I will definitely destroy them on behalf of the sun."
Mrs. Qin glanced at Li Qi, feeling dumbfounded.
Li Shishi said: "Sanniang, I'm really sorry, but it was Li Qi who caused you trouble. If you want to blame, just blame him. Since it's a punishment, of course we can't stay with you here. I'll go for a walk with my sister first."
Then she took Li Qingzhao and turned around and left.
Mrs. Qin stretched out her hand and wanted to call Master Li, but she just opened her mouth and put her hand down again.
Li Qingzhao glanced back from the corner of his eye and whispered: "Master, can you do this?"
Master Li smiled slyly and said, "Sister, just wait and see what they will repay me with in the future. If it is not a heavy gift, I will never accept it."
...
Mrs. Qin looked at the long back of Li Qingzhao and the others as they walked away. There was a trace of nervousness between her brows.
"Madam, madam."
Li Qi saw Mrs. Qin standing silently, so he shouted twice.
Mrs. Qin was slightly startled and said in a panic: "What do you want to do?"
Sweating! Although this place can be called a barren mountain and a holy land for affair, I am not that unbearable. Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do, of course, wash dishes."
"Washing the dishes? Oh yes. Washing the dishes."
Mrs. Qin turned to look at the bowl in the wooden basin with a sad look on her face. Although she had a submissive character and had no intention of defaulting on her debt, she was a very clean person. This dirty bowl made her
She was afraid.
Li Qi patted his chest and said, "Madam, please don't worry, these little bowls are nothing to me. It will be solved soon."
Mrs. Qin was secretly happy when she heard this. Did he not want me to wash it? That couldn't be better.
Unexpectedly, Li Qi continued: "Madam, I have to say, this is really a blessing in disguise for you. I have decided that I will teach you how to wash dishes today. Don't underestimate this dishwashing. There is a lot of knowledge in it, even
I didn’t even teach Xiaoliuzi.”
Wu Xiaoliu, do you need to teach him how to use it? He can be said to be fast and bright at washing. Besides, since when did you, Master Li, wash dishes since you met Wu Xiaoliu?
It turns out that he is going to teach me how to wash dishes! Mrs. Qin's eyes are red. If it were Feng Yinu, he would probably act like a spoiled child. Under normal circumstances, Li Qi would be the one to take the responsibility in the end, but Mrs. Qin
But he couldn't open his mouth. Seeing Li Qi's determined expression, he sighed in his heart, that's it, that's all, just wash it. "There's no need to teach, let's just wash the dishes as soon as possible."
Judging from her tone, she was afraid of being alone with Li Qi.
She and Li Qi came to the wooden basin, looked at the oily bowls, wiped away the fragrant sweat, and really couldn't do anything.
On the way here, she was the biggest winner, doing the heaviest work, that is, mopping the floor, wiping the tables and chairs, and not washing the dishes yet.
Li Qi saw Mrs. Qin squatting beside the wooden basin, with her hands in her arms, looking at the pile of bowls in front of her with a sad expression. Her expression was so cute that she almost laughed out loud, and asked: "Are you cold?
?”
Mrs. Qin shook her head, why is it so cold in this weather, and said, "Why do you ask like that?"
"Why are you hiding your hands in your stomach when you're not cold?"
Mrs. Qin pouted her lips and asked, "Just wash it." She slowly took out her hands of green onion and white jade.
When Li Qi saw such a pair of beautiful hands, he almost didn't dare to tell Mrs. Qin to go back and rest. Fortunately, in the end, reason prevailed over sensibility. Aren't you tired of working as a male and female partner?
This is the only benefit he has left now, and he must not give it up.
"Hurry up and wash it!"
Li Qi quickly collected his thoughts and stretched out his hand to get the dishcloth. Suddenly he felt that the dishcloth was very smooth and soft. It seemed that the goblin was treating me well.
"what are you doing?"
Suddenly I heard Mrs. Qin yelling angrily.
"ah?"
Li Qidong took a quick look, sweating profusely, what the hell, why did he touch Mrs. Qin's hand? He hurriedly retracted his hand and said: "Sexy, slut, I got it wrong. I originally wanted to get the dishcloth."
.”
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was stunned. She subconsciously looked at her hands and then at the dishcloth. She wanted to cry to death. No matter how she heard these words, it sounded like a curse.
Oops! Wrong thing to say again!
"I didn't mean that your hands are like dishcloths - uh..." Li Qi felt that he was getting more and more wrong, and after that touch just now, he really couldn't bear to use those hands to wash dishes, and said:
"How about Madam, please don't wash this bowl."
Mrs. Qin was overjoyed and said, "Really?"
Li Qi nodded with tears in his eyes.
Mrs. Qin said gratefully: "Then---then thank you."
"it's okay no problem."
"Then---then I'll go find Shishi and the others."
"Okay---it doesn't make sense." Li Qi heard this and said, "That's fine. I won't let you wash the bowl. I've already made enough concessions. You still want to leave me. That's not how Peicai Zi is cut."
He hurriedly said: "This is not possible. I have no problem washing alone, but you are here to accompany me - chatting. In this barren mountain, it doesn't matter if you encounter someone who robs your wealth. Anyway, I don't have it.
How much money should I bring with me? If I encounter someone who wants to be raped, then who should I cry to? I am suave, handsome, young and promising, so it is very likely that I will be raped by someone!"
Robbery?
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes. But she still understood what Li Qi meant. It was impossible to leave. It was lucky not to wash. She could only accept it when it was good and nodded lightly.
This time, Li Qi spotted the dishcloth, picked it up, and started washing it quickly. He said dissatisfiedly: "This Shishi girl is so naughty. She didn't even prepare a small bench for me."
Mrs. Qin originally felt embarrassed when she saw Li Qi washing alone. She hoped to be able to help. When she heard Li Qi complaining, she said, "Then I'll get you a handful."
She had good intentions in her heart, but Li Qi thought she was trying to leave with an excuse. He felt a little unhappy and said, "No, I'll finish washing them when you bring them."
Mrs. Qin didn't notice the hint of dissatisfaction in Li Qi's tone. Thinking that what he said was correct, she said "Oh", but there was no further content.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Li Qi knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Qin to take the initiative to speak. He had to find a topic to talk about. Even if Mrs. Qin was very beautiful, if you didn't tell her, it would be no different from wood, so he said: "You
---."
"you---!"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Day. No, she actually took the initiative to speak. Li Qi found out a treasure and hurriedly said: "You say it, you say it." Mrs. Qin finally took the initiative to speak, so she had to let her talk to her heart's content.
Seeing Li Qi's happy look, Mrs. Qin felt a little guilty and said, "I actually want to ask you, did Magistrate Ouyang come to see you today?"
"Xiao Tao told you?"
"Um."
"Yes, Ouyang Che has indeed been here."
"But what about Lei Feiyan?" Mrs. Qin asked curiously.
Li Qi said truthfully: "Well, Lei Feiyan and his family have surrendered."
Mrs. Qin probed: "Then what do you plan to do with them? Oh, if you can't tell me, then--then don't tell me."
"You are also a victim and have the right to know." Li Qi said, suddenly paused, and then said: "According to the law, if you premeditate the murder of a high-ranking official in the court, you will be executed."
"Behead the entire family?" Mrs. Qin opened her eyes and said, "This - is this punishment a bit harsh?"
Li Qidao: "This has nothing to do with me. This is what the law stipulates."
Mrs. Qin said anxiously: "But Mrs. Lei and her two grandsons are innocent!"
"Madam, you should know best how much Lei Feiyan has done to me. Do you think I will spare her family? The right way is to cut the weeds but not the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth."
"However, this is all done by Lei Feiyan alone and has nothing to do with Mrs. Lei and the others. Every injustice has its origin and every debt has its owner. Mrs. Lei and the others should not be involved. Li Qi, I know that this matter is all your fault."
In the meantime, just let them go."
In fact, Mrs. Qin had already learned from Li Qingzhao that Mrs. Lei's ancestors and grandsons had come to the government office to surrender and were willing to take the blame on Lei Feiyan's behalf. At that time, she wanted to go to Li Qi to intercede not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but Li Qi was ill at that time.
She was in bed, so Mrs. Qin didn't go. Today she heard from Xiaotao that Ouyang Che came to see Li Qi. She knew it must be about the Lei family case. What she cared about was not Lei Feiyan, but that she didn't want anyone to be innocent anymore.
You have to suffer, you know, she is also an innocent victim.
Li Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You can let me go if you want, but you must agree to one condition."
A flash of panic flashed in Mrs. Qin's eyes, and she said: "Wha--what conditions?"
Li Qi put down what he was doing, shook his hands, raised his head, looked directly at Mrs. Qin, showed a bright smile, and said: "Smile for me." (To be continued...)
