Ji Hongnu was slightly startled. How could she see through Li Qi's little thoughts? Seeing the ecstatic Li Qi, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She had given birth to a child for Li Qi a long time ago. This was also her dream.
But she was not as shameless as Li Qi. She blushed and said coquettishly: "Brother, you are suppressing me."
Damn it! Damn, you almost hurt my child. Li Qi was startled, jumped up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hongnu, are you okay? Doctor, help her take a look."
Ji Hongnu hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I'm fine." As she said this, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, she laughed sillyly, and unconsciously touched her lower abdomen with her right hand, and the glory of motherhood suddenly bloomed.
Li Qi seemed to be infected by Ji Hongnu's inadvertent action. He squatted beside the bed, held Ji Hongnu's little hand with both hands, and said softly: "Hongnu, thank you, thank you for making my existence more beautiful."
Real and more meaningful.”
Even Ji Hongnu, who is the mother of the child, cannot understand the meaning of Li Qi's words. The child means more to Li Qi than that. He can't help but bring long-lost family affection to Li Qi. He is still with Li Qi.
A real bridge has been built between Qi and this era, truly connecting them together.
Ji Hongnu stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of Li Qi's eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "I should be the one to thank eldest brother. It was eldest brother who gave me this child."
"He belongs to us." Li Qile said cheerfully.
Ji Hongnu hummed softly, with a happy blush on his face, which was really charming.
"You just need to lie down peacefully while my elder brother goes to help you make a bowl of chicken soup to replenish your health."
In order to take care of those regular customers who were pregnant ladies, Li Qi did a lot of research on this dish that is beneficial to pregnant women in later generations. Now that he can finally use it on himself, this feeling is self-evident.
Ji Hongnu nodded obediently.
Li Qi stood up and said to the doctor: "Mr. Zhong, you will live here from today on. As long as you take good care of my wife, you will not be short of money."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li Qi then said to Aunt Chen: "Auntie, go find some stable women immediately."
"Hey, I'll go now."
"Madam, please---."
Li Qi just wanted to ask Mrs. Qin to accompany Ji Hongnu here, but suddenly he found that Mrs. Qin's face was ashen, her pink fists were clenched, and she was looking at him coldly. His heart trembled, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
She secretly thought, no, it’s just a hug, and she won’t get pregnant, so why do you need to hold such a grudge? She changed her mind and said, “Madam, your face doesn’t look good, you may be pregnant too.”
Mrs. Qin was furious, her eyebrows stood up and her eyes widened. She said sternly: "What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing, just kidding, don't take it seriously." Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile.
Ji Hongnu rolled his eyes at Li Qi and said, "Madam, what he did just now was just unintentional, please forgive him this time."
When Mrs. Qin saw Ji Hongnu begging for mercy, her heart softened. She smiled reluctantly and said: "Sister Hongnu, you can just take care of the baby with peace of mind and don't think too much." As she said that, she glanced at Li Qi coldly and said lightly: "
Look at your disheveled hair. You don't look like a third-grade official. Let me help you comb it. Let's go."
Are you kidding me? Are you combing my hair? Ghost letter! Li Qi said cautiously: "Where are you going?"
"Back hall. I'm afraid it will disturb the red slave's rest here." Mrs. Qin tried hard to calm down, but the anger in her voice could not be concealed.
"Is it okay not to go?" Li Qi said with a shrinking head.
Mrs. Qin simply said: "No."
...
Li Qi lowered his head and stared at Mrs. Qin's round buttocks, and followed Mrs. Qin to the back hall.
"What are you looking at?"
"Butt---oh no."
Li Qi was suddenly startled. He raised his head and saw Mrs. Qin's shameful and angry expression. He said to himself, "You can't blame me for this. If you weren't so attractive, I wouldn't be so devoted to you." He changed the subject and said, "Madam,
Please help me comb it quickly, I have to take care of the red slave."
This person is really shameless, always using red slaves as a shield. Mrs. Qin stared, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Did you mean it just now?"
Li Qi knew he couldn't hide, so he quickly raised his right hand and said seriously: "Absolutely not, madam, I was just too excited just now, so I made a mistake. Please forgive me. I dare to swear that I really didn't mean it. If you don't tell me,
I forgot about it."
Mrs. Qin saw his sworn look and knew that he didn't mean it. He was just being hugged by a man. This made her feel awkward all over. Moreover, Li Qi's past actions made it difficult for her to calm down the anger in her heart. She snorted angrily,
Said: "Sit down."
"what?"
"I'll help you comb your hair."
"Are you serious?"
"Are you going to sit down or not?"
"Sit, sit, sit."
Li Qi hurriedly sat down and suddenly looked shocked and said, "Madam, why are you using scissors if you're not combing your hair?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned. She looked down at the scissors in her hand and was secretly surprised. Oh, yes, what did I do with the scissors? It seemed that she was really annoyed by this person. Her face was slightly red and she said lightly: "Sorry, I saw it wrong.
Already."
How can you mistake such a big pair of scissors? Are you fooling a kid! Li Qi felt his scalp was numb, and dense beads of sweat had oozed out on his forehead. He swallowed his saliva and said with a reluctant smile: "Madam, actually this
Just ask the servants to do the small things, I don't dare to do anything big for you."
"Is there anything else you don't dare to do?" Mrs. Qin snorted softly and picked up a wooden comb. Suddenly she saw Li Qi moving his buttocks, as if he was preparing to run away. The anger in her heart rushed up, and with one hand
Grab his hair.
Shrew, this is definitely a shrew. Li Qi said in pain: "Oh, madam, be gentle, be gentle, it hurts! Oh oh oh."
Mrs. Qin heard his moans that seemed to be in pain, and her face was as red as blood. She was also surprised as to why she was so angry. She quickly let go of her hand, with a trace of apology on her beautiful face, and said: "Sit down and don't move."
, I have something to ask you."
Li Qi rubbed his head and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Qin helped him comb his hair and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
"What should I do?" Li Qi became more and more confused as he listened.
Mrs. Qin said anxiously: "Of course it's the red slave. She is pregnant now. Are you planning to let her give birth to the child like this?"
Li Qi blinked his eyes and said blankly: "Otherwise, how could we survive?"
Mrs. Qin was angry and said: "Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused?"
"I'm not confused. Madam, you confused me."
"I confused you. Haven't you ever considered giving the red slave a title? Fortunately, the red slave is still obsessed with you. I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful person."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "I don't think you said anything. Isn't it just a status? I'll just marry her and come in. There's no need to be so serious. Read more and learn idioms before you use them."
Should I study more? Mrs. Qin smiled coldly and asked, "What about Qiniang?"
"It's okay to marry!"
Shameless! Mrs. Qin nodded and said: "So, you plan to marry the red slave as your wife and Qiniang as your concubine, right?"
Li Qidao: "I didn't say that, please don't slander me."
Mrs. Qin said: "That's what you obviously mean. Could it be that you still want to marry two wives? Then just wait until you enter Kaifeng Mansion."
Yes, monogamy is still practiced now, and concubinage is the only option. Bigamy is also illegal. Li Qi was depressed, his face was full of sorrow, and he remained silent.
"What? It's too late now that I know I was wrong. I told you a long time ago, but you shouldn't take it seriously." Mrs. Qin said sadly.
Li Qi said cautiously: "How about I marry the red slave first and then we can talk about it."
"If you do this, you are nothing more than a wolf-hearted person! Not to mention what Qiniang will think, Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai will not agree."
"Uh...then---give birth to the child first and then talk about it?"
"Then you are really a heartless man! Have you ever thought about the red slave?"
Ri. This won’t work, that won’t work either. You’re clearly just teasing me on purpose! Li Qi said angrily: “Then what do you want me to do?”
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment. She closed her eyes and sighed softly, and then said: "What else can you do? You can only take the red slave as your concubine first and give her a title, but you have to discuss this with Uncle Bai and the others.
one time."
"It turns out that you can take a concubine first and then marry a wife. Didn't you tell me earlier? It scares people's hearts and makes them jump. It's so bad." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and sighed: "I'm just too wronged, that girl Hongnu."
She is a very traditional woman, so she attaches great importance to this title. A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. This must be distinguished.
Li Qi didn't pay attention to this at first, but Mrs. Qin's sigh made him feel very uncomfortable. He also knew that in today's society, concubines have no status and can even be sold out. He doesn't have to care about it, but not everyone
Just as he thought, he frowned and said: "Madam, I am also a third-grade official, can't I marry two wives?"
"Of course not."
Li Qi suddenly said: "What if the emperor agrees?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned and said: "Will the Emperor take care of this matter?"
"Don't worry about it. You answer me first."
"If the emperor grants me a title, then maybe it's really feasible."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's good. Let the red slave give birth to the child first. When Qiniang comes back, I will have my own way and I will never wrong anyone." He thought to himself, in the past, the emperor always asked me what I wanted.
What, I'm too embarrassed to ask for money, don't give me a chance next time, for the red slave, I don't want this face.
Mrs. Qin didn't want Ji Hongnu to be a concubine. She thought that if he really had a way, it wouldn't hurt to make Hongnu suffer for a while. She nodded, suddenly put down her hand and said, "It's done."
It was so fast that I didn't even feel it. Li Qi stood up, subconsciously touched his head and sighed, "I'm really not used to having a mallet suddenly appear on my head."
Bangchui? Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and smiled, looked at her masterpiece for a moment, nodded and said, "This looks like a human being."
Li Qi originally thought that Mrs. Qin would say some compliments about being suave, handsome and unrestrained, but he didn't expect that she would be so perfunctory. He said depressedly: "I'm sorry, I used to be in the eyes of Mrs., I couldn't even be called a human being!"
"
Mrs. Qin chuckled and said, "I didn't say that. Go and see Red Slave."
"Yes, yes, yes, oh, thank you madam for your generous help. I'm sorry."
Li Qi said this and hurriedly walked outside.
Mrs. Qin looked at Li Qi's ecstatic back, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared between her eyebrows. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen with her right hand, and a tear fell. She looked up at the hazy sky outside the window and murmured: "I'm sorry.
