Li Qi stood up and asked, "What do you want me to do, madam?"
Chen Anan shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
This is strange. What urgent matter could she have with me?
Li Qi secretly frowned and said, "Didn't you see that I have distinguished guests here? I'll go there later."
Chen Anan then saw Zhao Kai and asked, "Brother Li, I just saw that Madam's face seemed to be quite anxious."
The implication was simply to ask Li Qi to go quickly.
Zhao Kai suddenly said: "Brother Li, I have already said what I came here to say today. Since Mrs. Qin is eager to find you, you should go quickly. Anyway, I have to leave after sitting for a while."
"This... then I'll excuse you." Li Qi said with a cupped hand.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Kai, Li Qi took Chen Anan and Ma Qiao and walked quickly towards the Qin Mansion.
After walking for about half an hour, Li Qi came to the door of Qin Mansion. He suddenly saw two guards with swords standing on both sides of the door, and they were also in uniform. He was shocked and said: "What... what is going on?"
Chen Anan scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. When I came out just now, they were already here."
Could it be that Wang Mao has made a move? This is too fast.
Li Qi's palms were sweating as he walked inside. He was deeply afraid that the two guards would just pounce on him and kill him like what they showed on TV, or give him a pair of big shackles and kill him. He takes it away.
However, he really thought too much. Until he entered, the two guards remained motionless and didn't even say hello.
Li Qigang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and suddenly saw a large group of people walking in front of him. There were about ten or twenty people. The leader was the eunuch Liang Shicheng. Mrs. Qin was standing on the left, followed by four others. Little eunuch and more than ten guards.
What are you doing? Such a big battle.
Li Qi was stunned.
"Hey, Master Li, you are finally here."
Liang Shicheng also saw Li Qi at this time, smiled, walked forward, cupped his hands and said: "Master Li, congratulations, congratulations."
Li Qi was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "Master Liang, why are you so happy?"
Liang Shicheng chuckled and said, "Congratulations, Master Li... Oh no, I should call you Deputy Li now."
"ah?"
Li Qi looked stunned.
At this time, Mrs. Qin suddenly said: "Anan, why have you been gone for so long?"
Although Chen Anan was timid, he couldn't help but feel a little weak when he saw so many people. He lowered his head and said: "Madam, I went to Brother Li's house Zilan and found that he was not there. Later I went to our store and found him. Brother Li’s.”
Mrs. Qin nodded and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, Mr. Liang came here to announce the decree this time, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for you, so I picked him up for you."
"Declaration?"
Li Qi asked curiously: "What is the purpose?"
Is this person really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Mrs. Qin glared at him slightly and said, "Of course it's an imperial edict."
"Imperial decree?"
Li Qi was shocked.
Liang Shicheng chuckled and said: "Since you are here, let me explain it to you again."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Li Qi hurriedly said, cupping his hands and feeling very curious.
Liang Shicheng stretched his hand forward and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
Li Qi nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Please."
Liang Shicheng said as he walked: "Vice-General Li pointed out that last night, Lieutenant Gao recommended you to join the Guard's Horse. The Emperor approved it with special permission, and also personally drafted an imperial edict to confer you the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Guard's Horse. One month later Taking office, in addition, the emperor thought of your meritorious service in offering wine, and also gave you two gold plaques in Zuixianju. You can go and see them later."
What? I became an official?
Li Qi was startled suddenly and stopped moving forward. He was completely stunned. This news came so suddenly...,
Liang Shicheng seemed to have anticipated Li Qi's reaction. A smile appeared on his lips and he shouted softly: "Deputy Li is shouting..."
As everyone knows, what shocked Li Qi the most was not that the emperor granted him an official position, but that he finally realized that the "movement" Cai Jing mentioned this morning was the emperor's imperial edict. Although Cai Jing is currently at home, he can still understand it.
Holy Will, no wonder he can appear four times, this is not unreasonable.
Liang Shicheng often followed Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It was not surprising that he could know the emperor's thoughts. Although Cai Jing was outside the palace, he could also figure out the emperor's thoughts. This was really not easy. Li Qi once remembered that one day
An expert said that Cai Jing was the emperor's confidant, which was really an exaggeration.
Li Qi was slightly startled and said in confusion: "Master Liang, are you saying that Captain Gao recommended me?"
Liang Shicheng smiled slightly and said, "Deputy Li pointed out, don't you understand this?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the emperor and Gao Qiu must have colluded with each other a long time ago. This was just a show. He smiled and nodded slightly.
"Deputy Li pointed out that the emperor has worked so hard for you, so you must not disappoint the emperor." Master Liang said earnestly.
Li Qi naturally understood what he meant. Cai Jing said this morning that Wang Mu really wanted to touch him. It was still a very simple thing. What was the reason? It was just because he was a cook, but the situation is different now.
Now, he is an official in the same dynasty as Wang Mao, and he is personally conferred by the emperor. If Wang Dian wants to touch him now, it will not be that easy.
How could Li Qi refuse this generous gift? He hurriedly saluted and said, "Li Qi thanks the Lord for your kindness. Li Qi will never let down the Emperor's love."
Liang Shicheng smiled and nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Liang, what grade of official does this refer to?" Li Qi asked with a face full of joy.
Liang Shicheng rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are referring to everything. He is the commander of the guards and deputy commander, and he is the fifth rank."
"Genuine fifth grade?"
After hearing this, Li Qi looked depressed.
Liang Shicheng looked at his expression and said speechlessly: "What? Are you still not satisfied? I tell you the truth, I have been with the emperor for so long and I have never seen anything like this. Just be satisfied."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Master Liang, please stop making fun of me. How could I not be satisfied? I was just too flattered just now." But in his heart, he thought, at least give me a third-grade official, in that case
, Mr. Wang will still dare to be arrogant when he sees me in the future.
Liang Shicheng smiled bitterly and said: "By the way, the emperor asked me to tell you that you still owe him a dish. You don't have to worry about the ingredients for that dish. You just need to be ready at all times."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then understood. He knew that the emperor was talking about the word "without phase", but he saw that the emperor didn't mention a word about this dish yesterday, so he thought he had forgotten it. He never thought that today the emperor would
He even sent a special message. I couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking for a while, so he nodded and said, "Master Liang, please tell the emperor that this dish will definitely not disappoint him."
Liang Shicheng nodded and asked curiously: "By the way, what kind of dish is this? Do you need the emperor to prepare the ingredients for you?"
Li Qi smiled shyly and told Liang Shicheng the Wuxiang information.
Liang Shicheng was dumbfounded when he heard this. He finally understood why the emperor had to prepare the ingredients for this dish himself. However, this dish was really scary. He shook his head and said expectantly: "Listen to what you said, I
I also want to see the Wuxiang of yours."
Li Qi laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. Liang will be disappointed by then."
Liang Shicheng said in an official tone: "If you don't say anything else, it's just the cooking skills that everyone refers to. I still know it."...,
Li Qixiao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for the compliment."
Liang Shicheng nodded with a smile and said: "Vice Li pointed out that there are some things I shouldn't have said originally, but I still have a good impression of you, so I just said a few words by the way, and you will be offended."
Liang Shicheng's status in the court was inferior to that of Wang Fan, but when he spoke, he made people feel comfortable and did not have the domineering aura of Wang Fan.
Of course, Li Qi didn't know if he was like this to others, so he nodded and said, "Li Qi is really flattered to be able to listen to Master Liang's teachings."
"What you said is a bit too outrageous."
Liang Shicheng smiled and said seriously: "Although you are favored by the emperor now, you must not be arrogant and complacent. Some things should be tolerated if you can bear them. Don't be too impulsive. Even at your age, you have achieved your current status.
, given time, your future will be limitless, so you need to cherish all this even more."
Li Qi knew that he was telling him not to mess with Wang Shao anymore, and his words were indeed well-intentioned, so he nodded and said: "Li Qi will remember Master Liang's teachings.
Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "That's okay. Just send it here. I have to return to the palace to recover."
"Oh, Mr. Liang is hunched over."
As Li Qi spoke, he suddenly realized that everyone brought by Liang Shicheng was empty-handed. He thought to himself, this lady is really too ignorant and doesn't understand any etiquette. He hurriedly said: "Master Liang, please wait a moment."
Liang Shicheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I heard that Mr. Liang is also a lover of wine. It happens that I have brewed a new wine in recent days. I have long wanted to offer it to Mr. Liang to taste, but I have never found the opportunity."
Li Qi said, without waiting for Liang Shicheng's reply, he turned to Chen Anan and said, "Anan, take someone to the wine cellar immediately to get some good wine."
In fact, how did he know whether Liang Shicheng was a drinker? This was just an excuse.
Chen Anan responded and ran towards the Qin Mansion.
A flash of joy flashed in Liang Shicheng's eyes, and he still said politely: "Hey, Deputy Li said, why are you so polite? I can just skip these common etiquette."
"How can that be done? If Master Liang doesn't accept it, Li Qi will probably be too guilty to sleep tonight." Li Qi shook his head.
Liang Shicheng chuckled and said, "In that case, thank you very much."
Mrs. Qin, who was standing behind, was stunned when she saw it. She was such a stick-to-conventional woman, so she didn't even know about this etiquette. She had just prepared a generous gift for Liang Shicheng, but Liang Shicheng was the one.
Qi gave Liang Shicheng a gift, but Liang Shicheng just said a polite word and accepted it, which really made her confused.
As everyone knows, what kind of person does Liang Shicheng need? There are countless people who send him money and cloth every day. How can he look at Mrs. Qin's things? To put it bluntly, he thinks it is too heavy and is too lazy to bring it. But Li
Qi's ceremony was different. He had seen Li Qi's cocktails and liked them very much. When he heard that Li Qi had brewed a new wine, he was looking forward to it. There was no reason not to refuse.
Soon, Chen Anan asked someone to push two carts of wine, with about a dozen barrels. These wines were blended with wine brewed from koji. Li Qi originally planned to wait until the bar opened.
Things are for sale.
Liang Shicheng accepted the two carts of wine without ceremony and then left.
Li Qi looked at Liang Shicheng's back with a smile on his face, "Commander, Deputy Commander? That's interesting."
