Li Qi and the three ladies sat in front of the fireplace and talked to each other about how they had spent this year. Compared to Li Qi, Feng Yinu and the others had a much simpler life, and the three women were almost all around them.
Li Zhengxi is wandering around, because Li Zhengxi looks very much like Li Qi, and is even a bit more delicate and lovable than Li Qi. He rarely goes out, except for occasionally going to Taishi Academy to visit the students.
Take Li Zhengxi to the Prince's Mansion or the White House to visit...
Of course, I can’t help but miss Li Qi.
During this period, Li Qi also told them about Liu Yunxi and Zhao Jingyan. He concealed the matter about Master Li. Just because Feng Yinu was there, he was not sure what Feng Yinu was thinking, so he wanted to wait for some time before telling Feng Yinu slowly.
Yinu.
As for Liu Yunxi, Zhao Jingyan, and the other three women, after learning that Bai Qiannuo already knew about it, they naturally became uncomfortable saying anything. After all, Bai Qiannuo was the only one who had the most say in this matter, but they all felt that Li Qi should be the one to impose it.
It was time for pressure. Of course, after learning that Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo had reconciled, they were also happy for Qiniang from the bottom of their hearts.
They sat here for a whole day, and it was not until the afternoon that Li Qi was ready to go out, because he had made an appointment with Qin Hui to go to Zuixianju to give Qin Hui a good beating today, and he also wanted to go to Zuixianju.
have a look.
Although the three ladies did not want to leave Li Qi for a moment, they knew that Li Qi could not stay with them all the time, because Li Qi was a high-ranking official in the dynasty, and it was not necessary to think about how many things could happen in a country every day.
...
...
Although Li Qi hardly comes to Zuixianju to cook anymore, Wu Xiaoliu's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Although they are still far inferior to Li Qi, there is still no problem in being able to stand alone.
The store was naturally overcrowded, and this was all due to the imperial court's policies. It was precisely because Zhao Kai was determined to revitalize the economy that the economy grew rapidly, and there were more and more wealthy people. Consumption naturally increased, but the banquet became
There are fewer and fewer, which is also related to the court's policy, because Zhao Kai has always been anti-Japanese.
As Zuixianju is one of the best restaurants in Tokyo, and with a legendary figure like Li Qi here, business is no problem, and many foreign tourists come here because of its reputation.
"Shopkeeper Wu, check out."
"Here, change your money."
"It's time to work."
"Walk slowly."
Wu Furong still sticks to the position that no longer belongs to him. In fact, he no longer regards this as a job, but as a kind of enjoyment. He just likes chatting with these guests and watching their satisfied expressions when they return is enough.
.
"Shopkeeper, can you recommend some delicious food?"
Just as Wu Furong was flipping the abacus, he suddenly heard someone asking. He raised his head and opened his mouth. But no sound came out. After a while, he said: "Li---Li Qi."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Uncle, how are you doing lately?"
"Okay, okay."
Wu Furong burst into tears with excitement. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Everything is fine. It's just that without you in this store, a lot of fun will be missing."
Li Qi waved his hand. The servant behind him immediately gave the gift to him. He added: "This is the bird's nest I brought from the south. It is very nourishing. You should always take it and nourish it. You must be in good health. Oh, no.
Let Xiao Liuzi know, otherwise he will definitely eat it secretly."
Wu Furong and Li Qi are like father and son. Wu Furong will naturally not refuse Li Qi's gift and said: "Yes, yes, you don't know, that boy is still stubborn now. If there is anything delicious, it is no matter what."
No matter what, I have to get some to try it out."
"Hey! Master Li is back."
While they were talking, someone suddenly saw Li Qi and couldn't help but exclaimed.
As soon as he shouted, the store immediately became quiet, and all eyes were turned towards the counter.
"Master Li."
"Hello, Master Li!"
"Congratulations to Master Li on his triumphant return."
The regular patrons of Zuixianju put down their chopsticks and came forward to salute Li Qi and congratulate him.
Li Qi returned the greetings one by one and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you very much. I haven't prepared any small gifts for you today. So, let me treat you tonight."
"Roar---!"
Everyone cheered in unison.
"Brother Li, you are finally back."
Suddenly a boy ran over excitedly, it was Wu Xiaoliu.
Li Qi pulled his disciple over, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him a little, and said with a smile: "You are a lot stronger. It seems that the food is not bad."
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled: "Brother Li, you know, we are not picky eaters."
Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "One of the purposes of my coming here today is to try your cooking skills. In the evening you and your uncle will go to my house for supper, and we will have a good talk."
"Hey, I'm going to prepare now."
"Go ahead."
Wu Xiaoliu ran to the kitchen very confidently. His cooking skills had been praised by many people this year, which also gave him some confidence to show off his cooking skills in front of Li Qi.
"Privy Envoy."
Suddenly he heard someone shouting from upstairs. Li Qi looked up and saw Qin Hui walking down the stairs quickly.
As soon as the guests saw Qin Hui coming, they all said sorry to Li Qi and then returned to their seats. But not every high official was as friendly as Li Qi.
Wu Furong whispered from the side: "Qin Shaozai came early in the morning."
"I know, I'll excuse you now."
As he spoke, Li Qi stepped forward to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect Qin Shaozai to come so early. I'm really sorry for keeping Qin Shaozai waiting for so long."
Qin Hui hurriedly replied: "The Privy Councilor must not say that. Although this is the Privy Councilor's shop, today the Third Secretary and I are taking care of the Privy Councilor. Naturally, we have to arrive early."
Li Qi snorted and said, "Isn't that just a guest doing as he pleases?"
Qin Hui chuckled and said, "I just ask the Privy Councilor to forgive me."
Li Qi laughed and said: "You know, I just like guests to do as they please. I don't know what the third commander is?"
"The third envoy came with me."
Qin Hui raised his head, and Li Qi looked up and saw Zheng Yi standing on the third floor giving a signal.
Qin Hui stretched out his hand again and said: "Please."
"please."
The two of them walked upstairs.
The rest of the guests were dumbfounded. This was probably the first time that the three giants of the day had gathered together. They were all curious about what they were planning to do. Unfortunately, they had no way of knowing. Although Qin Hui did not say that the venue was reserved, Wu Furong still consciously
The entire third floor was vacant for them.
Arriving on the third floor, Li Qi and Zheng Yi exchanged greetings with each other, and then the three of them entered the box in the heaven and earth together.
Li Qi did not sit down in a hurry but looked around, nodded and said with a smile: "It has been decorated again. Not bad, not bad. It fits the style of my Zuixianju."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "It is said that this was designed by the economic envoy himself."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi chuckled: "It seems that Qiniang is quite free."
Qin Hui said with a smile: "The Privy Envoy is wrong. The Economic Envoy is responsible for revitalizing the economy of the Song Dynasty. He has a lot of things to do every day. It can be said that he has many things to do every day. He is busier than me and the Third Secretary Envoy.
"
Zheng Yi looked a little strange when he heard this, but said nothing.
Li Qi's heart was as clear as a mirror, but he pretended not to know, and said: "Qin Shaozai, Third Secretary, I am very dissatisfied with you. You are the Young Master, Third Secretary, how can you leave everything to a woman?"
Now, are you going to bully Qiniang because I’m not around?”
"Where. Where, the Privy Councilor's words are serious. Can those who can do more work?" Qin Hui stopped and stretched out his hand and said: "You two, let's sit down and talk."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The old rule is that whoever is the host will sit in the seat."
After saying that, he sat down nearby, obviously not intending to pay.
Zheng Yi smiled, this division was very good, because the three of them were equally matched. It was not suitable for anyone to sit in the upper seat, so he sat down nearby.
Qin Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Then Mr. Qin would be disrespectful."
Li Qi chuckled: "It should. It should."
Qin Hui also sat down and immediately raised his cup and said: "Since today is the time to cleanse the privy envoy from the wind and dust, let's first toast the privy envoy with a cup to celebrate his triumphant return."
He really has the aura of a boss.
Zheng Yi also picked up the cup.
Li Qi raised his teacup and replied: "Thank you, thank you very much."
All three of them drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Hui put down his wine glass and suddenly sighed and said: "The Privy Councilor led the troops to fight outside in the wind and sun, and they also went to the malaria-ridden areas of Lingnan. The hardships can be imagined, but we were helpless and could not help the Privy Councilor.
It's really shameful to share the worries."
He always talks in the same way.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Everyone performs his own duties and has his own difficulties. Besides, this court is not necessarily safer than the battlefield. Let me tell you, the most dangerous place is above the court. Remember me
When I left, Wang Zhongling was still majestic, but this time I came back, I haven't even seen him, which makes people feel that things are really unpredictable, especially in the court."
When Li Qi mentioned Wang Zhongling, both Qin Hui and Zheng Yi looked a little strange.
Qin Hui asked: "Has the Privy Council already known about the Right Prime Minister?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Actually, I heard a lot of rumors before returning to Beijing. Some people even said that this was Qin Shaozai's conspiracy against you."
Qin Hui opened his eyes and argued angrily: "What kind of birdie is talking nonsense? It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. The right prime minister has always had a good relationship with me, and he can even be said to be my right-hand man. How could I harm myself?"
A subordinate of the emperor, and this is the emperor’s first encoring since he ascended the throne. Even if Qin is given ten more courages, Qin will not dare to ruin the emperor’s encoring.”
Fuck! I'm just asking, you don't need to call me a bird, you deserve to be taught by me, the art of swearing is getting better and better. Li Qi chuckled: "That's it, that's it, that's too much
It’s ridiculous, I just listened to it as a joke.”
Zheng Yi watched the two of them bickering and fighting, then smiled softly, raised his glass and said: "Young Master, please don't get angry. Come, I'll toast you to Young Master."
Qin Hui hurriedly raised a glass to greet him. After drinking, he said to Li Qi: "Privy Council, this matter is a lesson to the world. It has nothing to do with Qin and I. It is obvious that someone wants to use this to sow discord between you and me."
Relationship, I want to muddy the water, and then take advantage of the troubled waters to fish."
Li Qixiao nodded and said, "Of course I understand."
Zheng Yi listened thoughtfully and said that person should be me.
Qin Hui asked again: "What do the Privy Council think of this?"
Li Qi said sternly: "To be honest, I was not in the capital when the incident happened. What I know is what I heard from others. Since it is what I heard, it has various subjective colors, so it is not easy for me to do anything.
It’s you who have made too many comments, but you have been in the capital, and this is how you see it?”
Qin Hui immediately said: "To be honest with you two, I think this matter has nothing to do with the Right Prime Minister. Someone deliberately framed the Right Prime Minister."
Oh! The thief has already played the trick of calling and catching the thief. Li Qi said, "What the young master said is so sure. Is there any evidence?"
Qin Hui said: "There is no evidence. After all, this matter is not my responsibility, but you may wish to think about it. With the ability of the right prime minister, if he wants to promote the disciples of the Bai family and help the Bai family make a comeback, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Moreover, Bai
There is a privy envoy in the family, this son-in-law riding a dragon, but it is not his turn to stand up. This time Enke has attracted the attention of scholars all over the world, and the emperor also values it very much. No smart person will tamper with this, right?
I have been an official for so many years, it is impossible that I don’t even understand this truth.”
Damn you, I feel like you want to pour dirty water on me after hearing what you said. Fortunately, I'm not here. If I were here, I would definitely be involved. Li Qi nodded repeatedly and said: "What Shaozai said makes sense.
"As he said that, he asked Zheng Yi: "Third Secretary, what do you think?"
Zheng Yi smiled softly and said: "My uncle is also involved in this matter, so I can't comment too much, but I believe that the Ministry of Punishment will definitely get to the bottom of it, and we will make a public judgment at that time."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "According to what you said, I can't make any wild guesses. After all, my father-in-law is also involved. Well, let's stop this matter. Too much talk about this kind of thing will be wrong."
Having said this, he paused and said: "But there is one thing I want to say. After all, my wife has just entered the official career, and she is not smooth enough in some places, but I believe she is only doing it for my own good, so here she is.
If my wife has offended me in any way during this year, please forgive me, and thank you both for taking care of my wife during this year."
Qin Hui smiled and said: "The envoy of the Privy Council is serious. Economics makes Bingxue smart, and he is well taught by the Privy Councilor. There is no need for us to take care of him. Moreover, we are all serving the emperor, so there is nothing to offend."
Li Qi nodded and said: "What Qin Shaozai said is very good. This is what I want to say today. We all serve the emperor and contribute to the country, but everyone has his own ambitions and everyone thinks differently. You
You have your opinion, and I have mine. It is inevitable that there will be friction in the future. I think this is a good phenomenon, because it shows that we are all scrambling to contribute to the country, but I don’t want to get involved in personal matters, even in the government.
No matter how loud the noise is in the hall, I hope we can still sit here and chat in private like today. Of course, if anyone insists on mixing public and private conversations, then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey orders. Do you think this is the case?
reason?"
Qin Hui and Zheng Yi were stunned for a moment, but did not speak. They just nodded slightly.
Li Qi picked up the tea cup and said, "Well, from now on, we will only talk about private matters. We'd better leave the official matters to the court. I'd like to propose a toast to both of you."
