"I firmly disagree with this!" Outside the city gate of Blackwater City, a woman who was over forty but still still charming said angrily with her hands in her sleeves.
"Then what kind of virtue does Li Danqing have?"
"When I was in Wuyang City, I didn't mind bullying men and dominating women. I was also very romantic. It is said that I played every night. There was not a single night that I didn't spend in a brothel!"
"I can't even look down on such a guy even if Li Mulin is alive, let alone now!"
"What's more, I heard that he and the eldest princess still don't know each other. What's the deal with Yan Zhen getting married to her? Is it possible to fill a house?"
"If my Yan really gets married, he will definitely bully me!"
"No! No matter what you say, this won't work!"
Next to her, Liu Zizai, who was usually the talkative one in this Blackwater City, was slumped down, looking like a doormat. The soldiers standing around on both sides seemed to be accustomed to this situation.
When I look at my nose and mind, I look like I don’t see anything and I don’t know anything.
It can be seen that these guys know how to protect themselves wisely.
Liu Zizai, who was born with a big body and round waist, was scolded by his wife for half an hour. When he saw that the other party had stopped speaking, he dared to say softly: "Madam... you can't just take this reflection at face value."
"What kind of person Li Danqing is, you can't just listen to what others say, you have to see it yourself."
"Alas! What a coincidence, I went there last time when there was chaos in the Palace of Eternal Life. This kid is a nice guy, not as unreliable as the rumors say!"
"Bah!" When the woman heard this, she spat at her: "You two have the same temperament! You think I don't know that you have been thinking about Widow Xu in the west of the city all day long, so you recruited him so that you and your son-in-law can compete with each other in your skills.
no?"
The woman's name was Lang Mingyue, and she was the daughter of a wealthy family in Yingshui County. When she was young, she followed Liu Zizai wholeheartedly, accompanying him all over the country, and that was how she earned the title of Lord of Blackwater City.
Although Lang Mingyue has a bit more aggressive temperament, Liu Zizai has been very fond of her over the years because of his persistence in the past.
When Lang Mingyue said these words, the soldiers on the side couldn't help but feel happy, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. They just suppressed the laughter. The look of suppressing laughter made even the tallest and thickest men secretly feel that they couldn't hold it back on their faces.
"What nonsense are you talking about, madam? Widow Xu's husband is an old friend of mine. He entrusted his wife and children to me. I asked you to visit, but you always shied away. I can't go by myself?" Liu Zi looked aggrieved.
Words.
The lady obviously knew about this, but she spoke in anger and refused to bow her head. She just snorted coldly and ignored the man.
When Liu Zizai saw this, he looked at the sky and then said: "I guess the time is coming soon. Madam will not give Prince Li a hard time later!"
"His face? He still wants to see my face! As soon as he comes, I will have someone lead him into the door vertically and carry him out horizontally!" Lang Mingyue said angrily.
Liu Zizai was famous outside, but inside he couldn't do anything with Lang Mingyue. He quickly changed his mind and said: "Madam, if you have made up your mind, when Li Danqing gets off the carriage later, this city lord will be the first to take it."
Cut him with a knife! If you don't take off one of his arms, I, Liu Zizai, will never hang out in Yingshui County again!"
Lang Mingyue was also startled by Liu Zizai's sudden display of loyalty. She glanced at Liu Zizai suspiciously and asked, "You changed your mind so quickly?"
Liu Zizai said, "Do you think my husband can get used to Li Danqing, a playboy?"
"Bah! He's born like a dog! With thin arms and thin legs, he doesn't have any masculinity like a husband!"
"If it weren't for Li Danqing risking his life to save our daughter during the chaos in the Eternal Life Palace, I wouldn't even bother to look at him!"
"This kind of person is glib and relies on some small favors to get close to my family, Yan Zhen! What's the Lieyang True Fire, the Fire-Condensing True Yang Pill, and Lao Shizi's "Dragon Elephant Hunyuan", what do you think these things are for?
?”
"My family, Yan Zhen, is laughing and joking around with us every day. There is a girl with a cultivation level of the third or fourth level of the Vajra realm. After going to Dafeng, you see, in less than a year, she has reached the Panqiu realm. A girl
Why does every family need such a high level of cultivation? Why not learn embroidery at home and memorize some poems and books! That is no better than anything else!"
"I'm just afraid that Yan Zhen will be confused by that kid. You also know Yan Zhen's temper. He's even more stubborn than you..."
"No, no! I mean, I'm even more stubborn than your husband-in-law! Even nine cows can't pull back what she decided! If we reject this, what will happen if Yan Zhen's temper is inconsistent?"
"Originally I was a little hesitant! But since Madam thinks so too, let's just stop at nothing and drive that Li Danqing away, and then lock Yan Zhen at home and have people watch over her for twelve hours.
I don’t believe she can turn the world upside down..."
The more Liu Zizai spoke, the more energetic he became, and the more he spoke, the more elated he became. But before he finished speaking, a sharp pain came from his head, and it was Lang Mingyue who hit him on the top of the head with the back of his hand.
"That's our daughter! Do you think it's your dog? She's still under surveillance for twelve hours!" Lang Mingyue cursed angrily. After saying that, the look on his face suddenly became miserable, and he sobbed: "All
It's my fault that I was blind in the first place. My father even said he wouldn't let me marry a barbarian like you! He said you would treat me badly in the future!"
"I was also blinded by lard, and I married you wholeheartedly! How long have we been married? You have changed your mind in less than twenty years..."
"In the final analysis, all this is my fault. I can't blame others..."
As Lang Mingyue said this, the expression on his face became increasingly miserable.
Liu Zizai was so confused that he quickly begged for mercy: "Madam! What are you talking about? Didn't you disagree with this marriage? Now you are blaming me again, what do you think you should do?"
After hearing this, Lang Mingyue immediately calmed down her crying expression and said: "I don't agree because I didn't know these things before! Now that I hear what you say, I feel that Li Danqing is not that bad after all, and you said it too
, Our daughter’s temperament is like mine, not as stubborn as you! How can we force ourselves to do it! Let’s first observe how Li Danqing is doing! Remember! We must not force it! Do you understand?”
Seeing Lang Mingyue's sudden change of attitude, Liu Zi smiled secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
On the contrary, he reluctantly agreed.
At this moment, a fire light lit up in the darkness ahead, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. Liu Zizai felt happy and hurriedly looked up, only to see four carriages galloping towards him, and in a blink of an eye, they stopped at Heishui City.
In front of the city gate.
"Father! Mother!" With a sweet cry, Liu Yanzhen's figure sprang out from the carriage and fell into the arms of Liu Zizai and Lang Mingyue.
Liu Zizai and his wife, who had not seen their daughter for two months after the New Year, were immediately happy. Lang Mingyue even pulled Liu Yanzhen around to look around for fear that something might be damaged. Liu Zizai even looked at her, who had always liked to dress up in men's clothing.
The daughter was dressed up like a girl, smiling happily, and said: "It's different now, she knows how to dress up."
Liu Zizai's tone was teasing. Liu Yanzhen couldn't understand what he was referring to. His face turned red and he glared at Liu Zizai.
At the same time, Liu Yanzhen, who obviously understood his mother's temperament, took advantage of the stall where Lang Mingyue was asking for help and winked at Liu Zizai, asking her what Lang Mingyue meant.
Father and daughter were connected. Liu Zizai naturally understood what the other party meant and nodded towards her. Liu Yanzhen suddenly smiled and turned to chat with his mother about their parents. Looking at his daughter's appearance, Liu Zizai had to sigh in his heart,
This woman is too bad to stay.
At this time, Li Danqing also got off the carriage. Seeing nearly a hundred soldiers standing outside the city gate, he was immediately startled by such a formation. He happened to meet Liu Zizai's eyes, and the other party hurriedly looked at him.
Li Danqing winked and pointed at Lang Mingyue beside him.
Li Danqing secretly smiled when he saw this. It seemed that Liu Zizai was henpecked.
The name is indeed well-deserved.
Without thinking too much, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to the other party and said, "Li Danqing has met Mrs. Liu."
Although Lang Mingyue was chatting and laughing with Liu Yanzhen on the surface, her mind was always on the carriage, and she wanted to see what the guy her daughter was interested in looked like.
But he saw Lin Danqing walking out. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had extraordinary appearance. His etiquette was also considerate. His appearance was infinitely better than that of Liu Zizai back then.
Lang Mingyue nodded, but Liu Yanzhen stood shyly beside Lang Mingyue, not daring to look at Li Danqing. Lang Mingyue saw this situation in her eyes, and she probably understood that her daughter was probably deeply poisoned.
, there is no turning back.
"Prince Li has been tired from traveling and traveling, so my husband has prepared a banquet for you to wash away the dust." Lang Mingyue understands the truth. Although he is fierce at home, in front of outsiders, he gives himself enough face, Liu Zizai, and behaves as usual in everything.
Liu Zizai seems to be the main one, which is probably why Liu Zizai likes her.
Li Danqing felt strange in his heart. The woman in front of him was smiling. She was not as difficult as Li Danqing imagined. Could it be that the matter of seeking secret knowledge was so insignificant in the eyes of the woman? Not only was there no embarrassment
, still need to take in the wind and wash away the dust?
Of course, these were just doubts in Li Danqing's heart. On the surface, he still said thoughtfully: "Thank you City Lord Liu for your kindness. I came here in a hurry, so I prepared a small profit. I hope Madam and City Lord Liu will accept it."
As he said this, he turned back and looked behind him. The coachman who followed him was smart enough to lift the curtain covering the three carriages behind him. The three carriages full of gifts immediately came into view of Lang Mingyue.
Seeing this, Lang Mingyue thought to herself, I heard that Prince Li had been living in extreme poverty since Li Mulin's death, and when he came to Dafeng Court, he was suppressed by people everywhere. However, he came here today with so many gifts. He wanted to tell his truth to his family.
Also very considerate.
It is said that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes.
At this moment, Lang Mingyue didn't feel that Li Danqing was really as unbearable as the rumors, not to mention that her daughter had already made up her mind. She didn't want to be such a bad person, so she smiled and said, "Why should we be so polite if we are members of our own family?"
The speaker said this unintentionally, but the listener meant it. When Liu Yanzhen and Liu Zizai heard this, they naturally knew that Lang Mingyue recognized Li Danqing, and both of them looked happy.
Only Li Danqing didn't know why, and he just responded politely: "It should, it should."
The next thing was much simpler. Everyone greeted and walked towards Blackwater City. Lang Mingyue and her daughter had not seen each other for several months and naturally they had a lot to talk about. As they walked ahead, they didn't know what they talked about. They talked and laughed all the way.
Li Danqing and Liu Zizai followed them slowly into the city. Along the way, Liu Zizai's eyes fell on Li Danqing from time to time, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his lips.
Li Danqing's scalp was numb when he saw him, and his heart became more and more weird.
"My daughter, Mingyue and I were so worried in the past, but now that the prince will take care of her, we and I will feel at ease." Liu Zizai suddenly sighed.
Listening to the other party's tone of explaining the funeral affairs, Li Danqing glanced at him, but didn't bother to study it in detail. Instead, he asked: "Have Yan Zhen told you everything?"
"Yeah." Liu Zizai nodded, the smile on his face getting brighter.
"Madam, you don't have any objections?" Li Danqing asked again, taking out a water bag from his arms, opening it and taking a big sip.
"Yes at first, but I convinced him." Liu Zizai proudly said with his head held high.
"That's good." Li Danqing nodded, then raised his head and took a sip of water.
Just when Qingshui entered his throat, Liu Zizai came forward and asked, "By the way, virtuous son-in-law! When are you and Yan Zhen planning to set the wedding date?"
puff!
As soon as these words came out, the water in Li Danqing's mouth spurted out, drenching Liu Zizai with a warm face...
