Li Qi's tongue was a little knotted, and he made a muffled sound in his throat. Cold sweat broke out on his head. He took a closer look at the woman in front of him, but saw that the blush on her face had not receded. She was extremely beautiful, but she still looked pretty.
She really looks a lot like Qiniang, I thought to myself, no wonder I felt a sense of deja vu when I saw her just now.
"What? Don't you believe it?" Mrs. Bai glanced sideways and raised the corner of her mouth.
No way. It doesn’t matter if I touched it wrong, accidents like this happen often, but how could I touch my future mother-in-law? This is even more deceptive than the skit in the Spring Festival Gala! md, who dares to be worse than me?
...
Li Qi was so depressed that he almost cried, but what happened has happened, and all he can do now is try his best to remedy it. Otherwise, it will be impossible to escape tonight. He rolled his eyes, shook his head and said: "
You---don't try to deceive me about my ignorance. Although I have never met my aunt, Qiniang is already in her twenties. How can his mother be as young and beautiful as you?"
You don’t have to flatter your father-in-law, but you have to flatter your mother-in-law. Every man understands this. Besides, the daughter hasn’t been obtained yet, and she doesn’t have any chips in her hand. Li Qi still won’t go.
Shot from the dead.
However, Mrs. Bai didn't seem to agree with him and sneered: "Since you don't believe it, let's go to the old man to ask for an explanation."
Old man? It seems that this is still a tigress. Now I am running to find Bai Shizhong. I am stupid. Isn’t this a trap for myself?
Li Qi straightened up and hummed: "Just go, who is afraid of whom, but you have to tell me first, who are you?"
"Didn't I just say that I am Qiniang's mother?"
"I do not believe."
"So I asked you to go with me to find my old man first. Everything will be unclear when you see him."
"No, you have to tell me who you are first? My mother has taught me since I was a child not to walk around with strangers casually." Li Qi said shamelessly.
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment, then realized that this guy was playing rogue, and she didn't force him. She chuckled and said, "You're quite naughty boy."
Li Qi pursed his lips, pointed at his head and said: "Aunt, this head of mine has not been washed in Rejoice for a long time. It is not slippery at all. It is very thick, very firm and stable. As for the other head, it is even more rigid."
Tough and powerful, indestructible and trustworthy.”
Mrs. Bai listened in a daze and had no idea what he was talking about. She frowned and said directly: "I will give you another chance. What is your intention to sneak into the Bai Mansion in the middle of the night?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, could you please stop using those words of infiltration and intention? I was so cautious and panicked. To tell you the truth, I walked in openly."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Those who came in over the wall are those who came in over the wall. You are a man, you dare not admit it if you dare to do it." Mrs. Bai said impatiently. She felt that she was very nervous when communicating with Li Qi.
Difficulties, after talking for a long time, I just kept listening to him rambling on.
Sweating! After all, she is Qiniang’s mother. She is indeed more difficult to deal with than Qiniang.
Li Qi immediately surrendered and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not afraid of causing trouble to the servants of the Bai Mansion, but I really didn't come in by climbing over the wall, I walked in by stepping on the wood."
Mrs. Bai was so smart that she understood it as soon as she heard it and said with a smile: "That's right. How dare you break into the Bai Mansion at night by yourself? You must have found help."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "No, no, even if I find help, I don't dare to break into Bai Mansion at night, haha. I actually found a master."
Mrs. Bai was stunned, covered her lips and giggled. She waved her sleeves and sat gently on the stone bench. She didn't want to make any more detours with him. It was so tiring. She asked with a smile: "Li Qi, are you here?"
Let’s find Qiniang.”
Li Qi knew he couldn't hide it, so he smiled dryly and nodded.
"Then what do you want from Qiniang?"
Mrs. Bai looked at Li Qi's worried expression and said, "I don't want to embarrass you, but you are a grown man, and you came to see my daughter in the middle of the night. As a mother, it's not too much for me, a mother, to ask."
Li Qi hurriedly said: "It's not excessive, not excessive at all. This is really normal."
"Then do you believe that I am Qiniang's mother now?" Mrs. Bai glanced at Li Qi with a smile in her eyes.
Sweat! I spilled the beans.
Li Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and saw that she seemed to have no ill intentions, so he simply recognized her and saluted, "Li Qi has met Mrs. Yue---Mrs. Bai."
Mrs. Bai hummed and said, "Then you can tell me now. Why did you come to Qiniang?"
"Sending ducks."
Li Qi said casually, but as soon as the words came out, he was stunned. What happened? Why did I start talking about ducks? It seems that I have been spending too much time with ducks these days, and I am thinking about them.
Mrs. Bai was stunned and gave two questioning looks.
Li Qi thought about it and said hurriedly: "Yes, I am here to deliver the duck. Oh no, it was my wife who asked me to deliver the duck. Our Zuixianju recently launched a brand new roast duck, and the taste is very authentic, so
My wife specially asked me to send some for Qiniang to try, but I am a shy person and not good at dealing with strangers. So I wanted to secretly give it to Qiniang and then go back. As the saying goes, I came quietly.
, just as I left quietly, waving my sleeves, leaving behind a roast duck."
You are not good at dealing with strangers. I have not known you for half an hour, and you are calling me sister, aunt, and uncle.
"What kind of nonsense do you think this is?"
Madam Bai rolled her eyes at him, then nodded and said, "I heard about your Zuixianju's roast duck today. What about the duck you brought?"
"Duck?"
Li Qi took a deep breath, sweating profusely, laughed loudly, and suddenly said: "The duck is with my assistant. Please wait here for a moment, I will go look for him." With that, he got ready to leave the pavilion.
It was the first time for Li Qi to meet his parents in this way in his life. Of course, he had only experienced it once. His head felt like it was filled with paste and he was feeling groggy. He thought it would be better to run away as soon as possible.
, be fully prepared to meet your future mother-in-law again in the coming day.
But how could Mrs. Bai let him go like this? She said calmly: "If you take one more step, you will never see Qiniang again in your life."
Li Qi's heart was shocked and he immediately took back the steps he took.
Mrs. Bai glanced at him slightly and said calmly: "Come over and sit down."
"oh!"
Li Qi responded and sat down next to Mrs. Bai. He smelled the faint fragrance and thought that Mrs. Bai had just come out of the shower. Could it be that she was here to have a tryst with her lover? Oh my god,
If I really break her good deeds, will she still give me good things to eat in the future?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the more he thought about it. He didn't know where his thoughts were drifting to. Suddenly, he heard Mrs. Bai say in a deep voice: "Sit across from me."
Sweat! I don’t have body odor, so why sit so far away and talk so hard?
Li Qi pursed his lips, moved his butt to the opposite side in grievance, and asked: "Auntie, what are your orders?"
Madam Bai glanced at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to be secretive in front of me."
"Auntie, it's so cold today, you won't let me take off my clothes, will you?" Li Qi opened his mouth and exclaimed, secretly amazed, he didn't expect that Mrs. Bai could be so unrestrained.
Mrs. Bai was stunned, became angry, slapped the table, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about again? Don't forget that this is the Bai Mansion. Seriously, I don't dare to treat you."
Dear, fan, my fan. Li Qi hurriedly fumbled around his waist, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to bring the fan given by the emperor, and immediately said with a sad face: "You are the one who said don't let me cover up."
Cover it up."
Madam Bai was so angry that her chest was heaving. She squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "I'm talking about you and Qiniang."
Does she know?
"Does Qiniang and I have nothing to do? Of course, speaking of it, I still owe her a lot of money." Li Qi spread his hands and said, but he felt uneasy in his heart. He was not afraid that Mrs. Bai would know about his affair with Qiniang.
, but today is really not a good day to confess.
Mrs. Bai shook her head helplessly and said: "Actually, I have known about you and Qiniang for a long time. Don't think about it. Qiniang told me. I also know why you came here today. Just now I
I just want to deliberately test you to see if you are really what Qiniang said, but so far, apart from your glib tone, I really haven't seen what other abilities you have."
No way. Qiniang will tell you this?
Li Qi simply shook his head and said, "Auntie, I don't know what you are talking about?"
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Didn't you also say that you would bring pots and pans to my house to marry Qiniang?"
"What did Qiniang tell you?" Li Qi said in shock.
Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "Qiniang is my daughter, you can't tell me anything you want."
You should have told me earlier, but if that’s the case, then I’m still pretending!
Li Qi coughed lightly and said with an upright face: "Auntie, in fact, what you saw just now is all an illusion. The person sitting in front of you now is the real Li Qi. I came here today just to know, Qi
Why haven't you been to Zuixianju these days? Are you sick? Well, this must be the first time for you to see such a considerate man like me."
Mrs. Bai chuckled and said, "This is the first time I've met a man who can talk better than the matchmaker."
Li Qi cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, aunt. It seems that when I come to propose marriage in the future, I can save the matchmaker's money."
"Who said that? Marriage is such an important matter, how can it be allowed to be so casual? The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are indispensable."
"That's it, that's it. I don't know which matchmaker my aunt likes. I'll look for it tomorrow." Li Qi nodded.
"I---?"
Just as Madam Bai opened her mouth, she was suddenly startled, and then she reacted, thinking to herself that this guy is really cunning, I almost fell into his trap. She sneered and said, "When did I agree to marry Qiniang to you?"
"It's not a matter of time." Li Qi chuckled.
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "You are quite confident."
"a little bit."
Mrs. Bai glanced with a smile and said, "Okay. Tell me, what can you give Qiniang?"
"happiness."
Li Qi said simply and clearly.
"happiness?"
Madam Bai narrowed her eyes and said, "You can't even protect yourself now, so why are you talking about giving Qiniang happiness? Do you know why Qiniang hasn't gone to Zuixianju these days?"
It’s not like I’m under house arrest by you.
Li Qi's heart was like a mirror, but he still pretended to have a blank expression on his face, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Mrs. Bai didn't care whether she really didn't know or pretended not to know, she said directly: "Actually, I was worried that Qiniang would go to Zuixianju to find you, so she was not allowed to go out. Now you have offended the young prime minister of the dynasty, and Qiniang is the right one."
Daughter of the prime minister, I am doing this to avoid unnecessary trouble, do you understand?"
"clear."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, thinking to himself, it turns out you are the one who has been beating around the bush. He smiled and said: "Auntie, just ask if you have any requests. We are almost a family, don't make things difficult.
Already."
At this point, Li Qi still couldn't figure out that if Mrs. Bai didn't want him to associate with Qiniang, she would have driven him away just now. Why did she have to keep him here and listen to his deceptions? He thought to himself.
, it would be a waste for this lady not to do business.
A flash of admiration flashed in Mrs. Bai's eyes, and she said: "It's very simple. As long as you can make the king ignore the past grudges and stop looking for trouble against you, I will agree to marry my daughter to you."
"Auntie, you are clearly playing tricks on me. We are all sensible people. You want the Prime Minister to stop trying to bring trouble to me, unless---"
When Li Qi said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a meaningful smile: "Auntie, are you choosing a son-in-law or an executioner?"
Madam Bai smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about Qiniang."
This is true. Who dares to marry his daughter to the enemy of the now powerful prime minister?
Li Qi said calmly: "Does Bai Xiang know about this?"
Mrs. Bai shook her head and said: "If he knows about this, do you think you can still sit here safely? But don't worry, as long as you can resolve the current danger, I will naturally make the decision for you. When the time comes, don't worry
You said you brought pots and pans, even if you bring your Zuixianju stove on your back, I will welcome you."
It seems that Mrs. Bai is really a rare and virtuous wife. She must have contributed a lot to Bai Shizhong being able to sit in this position now.
However, I am not a vegetarian. If you play this trick with me, huh, go back and watch idol dramas a few more times and then talk to me.
Li Qi was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and saluted: "Auntie, I understand that you think about Bai Xiang, but I don't like being used as a sword. Besides, these are two different things. You are Qiniang's mother, of course you can take care of it."
Hold her, but you can't control me. If you don't allow Qiniang to go out, at worst I will come here every day. I don't believe it yet. Then the king and prime minister don't dare to do anything to me. What can you do to me, aunt?
Already."
This is quite a shameless thing to say.
Li Qi's move was a combination of force and softness, which deceived Mrs. Bai. She was dumbfounded. She didn't understand why Li Qi, who had been trying to please her just now, suddenly became so tough.
"Aunt, it's getting late, so Li Qi will leave first."
Li Qi took advantage of her daze and walked away. After he was out of the danger zone, he turned back and said: "Auntie, you may be a good wife, but you are not a good mother. At least what I saw is
so."
After saying that, Li Qi left quickly. After all, this is her territory.
After Li Qi left, Mrs. Bai came back to her senses, chuckled, and said to herself: "Good boy, you actually taught me a lesson. It's really different. But even if I don't say anything about this, wouldn't you?
Won’t you do it?”
As she said that, she giggled again.
As soon as Li Qi came out of the garden, Ma Qiao appeared out of nowhere and said tremblingly: "Are you done talking?"
"Um."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Wear more clothes tomorrow."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Come back tomorrow night."
"ah?"
****************************
The next day.
The sun rises in the east.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
Hong Tianjiu stood in front of the Qin Mansion, his face full of impatience. Next to him stood Zhou Hua and Xu Fei.
The three horses stood there humming and doing occasional leg bending exercises, perhaps because they were impatient to wait.
After a while, the door finally opened, and three people walked out. The leader was wearing a bamboo hat, a leather jacket with slanted shoulders, a tight belt, high boots, and a bamboo bow hanging on his shoulder.
A quiver.
It's just that the more heroic you are, the more heroic you are.
This person is naturally Li Qi. In terms of posing, I am afraid that only five people in the entire Song Dynasty can match him. However, in terms of real kung fu, this one has yet to be tested.
The two people standing behind Li Qi were Ma Qiao and Chen Anan. Their clothes had not changed much, but one was in high spirits and the other was yawning profusely.
"Brother Li, why did you come out just now?" Hong Tianjiu said depressedly.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Don't I have to prepare some things?"
Not only did Bai Qiannuo not see the battle at Bai Mansion last night, but it also delayed a lot of time. Fortunately, Ma Qiao, an expert, quickly helped them buy bows and arrows.
As for Chen Anan, Li Qi saw that this boy was very interested in these things, and he had been busy for so many days, so he just happened to take him out to play today.
Naturally, Li Qi did not ride a horse. He was still the same calm donkey. It was not that he had no money, but he was just afraid of falling. If he did not ride a horse, he would naturally not let Chen Anan and Ma Qiao ride. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to go out.
Three horses and three donkeys marched towards the east gate in a mighty manner.
As soon as they arrived at the east gate, the six of them suddenly heard a faint cry, "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, this way."
Huh? Isn't this Gao Yanei's voice?
Li Qi looked up and saw two horses standing in front of the city gate. Sitting on the horses were two gorgeous noble men. One of them was Gao Yanei whom he had not seen for a long time, and the other was King Yun Zhao Kai.
It's him?
Li Qi frowned.
As soon as Hong Tianjiu saw Gao Yanei, he rode over excitedly and said excitedly: "Brother, why are you here? Didn't your father not let you come out?"
Gao Yanei scratched his head and smiled before opening his mouth. Suddenly, Li Qi, who was coming from behind, laughed and said, "I guess all this is thanks to Brother Zhao." As he said that, he raised his hand towards Zhao Kai again.
Said: "Brother Zhao."
Zhao Kai also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that everything can't be hidden from Brother Li!"
Gao Yanei chuckled and said: "Li Qi, I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person. I have wrongly blamed you before."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Ya Nei, what did you say?"
"Oh, Li Qi, don't pretend to be like me. I know that you were helping me vent my anger last time at the Grand Master's Mansion and deliberately made Wang Xuanen embarrassed. At that time, if my father hadn't dragged me along, I would have had to
Stand up and say a few words for you." Gao Yanei said excitedly.
Let me go. You feel too good about yourself. I stand up for you, so you can dream.
Li Qi said sarcastically: "Yanei, please don't talk nonsense. I reiterate for the last time that it was Wang Yanei who fell."
"Yes, yes, he accidentally fell down."
Gao Yanei chuckled, but his eyes were full of sly smiles.
It's over. I was misunderstood again.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to explain to a fool like Gao Yanei.
Gao Yanei said again: "But there is something you do that is too clever."
"What's going on?" Li Qi said depressedly.
Gao Yanei said: "Why don't you tell me about teaching Lady Feng the oil dance? In that case, I can also learn from you. On the same day, you can arrange for me to dance that dance with Lady Feng."
Sexy stuff.
The remaining seven people immediately cast fourteen contemptuous glances at Gao Yanei.!~!
