Chapter 599: Children

After a long conversation with Lu Yiming, the sky was dark before I knew it. I didn't expect that this conversation would last for the whole afternoon until Li Gan appeared lightly and lit Niu Zhu quickly. The two of them suddenly realized that it was time for supper.

When they thought of supper, their belly chuckled a few times. They looked at each other and laughed. After Li Gan lit up Niu Zhu, he never left and said to Li Qing in a low voice: "Master, the lady has sent someone to ask when she can go back to have dinner? Let's prepare first."

Jiyue's current identity is still a concubine, Ruma, but there is no real hostess in the Hou Mansion now, but Jiyue is in charge of the Hou Mansion. Who in the Hou Mansion is not tactful? Naturally, the wife is called happy.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Since it's time for dinner, old ways, let's have a few drinks together?"

Lu Yiming stood up and shook his head and said, "No, no, Mrs. Ru is waiting for her lord. My family also has an old wife. I guess she is sitting alone at the dining table at this time. Wait until I go home! I won't disturb the general."

Li Qing laughed and said to Li Gan: "Go and take half of the most delicious tea leaves that King Ning gave me to you and my daughter's fragrance is half for Lord Lu. Old Lu, I know you are from the south, but I'm afraid that you only hear about the name of this daughter's fragrance and you don't see anything. This is the first time I heard that there are such expensive tea leaves. Good guy, one tael is worth hundreds of taels of silver. You also know that my tea ceremony is really not good, so I can't bear to drink it. Take some back and taste it slowly!"

Lu Yiming was very happy. He was born in the south and was good at tea. He naturally knew that his daughter Xiang was fragrant, but as Li Qing said, he only heard the name but did not see the things. According to legend, this authentic daughter Xiang was produced only in a tea tree unique to Yunwu Mountain. When picking tea, he had to hold it in his mouth, and then slowly ripened with his body temperature. The production was only one or two taels every year. Moreover, Yunwu Mountain was the private property of the Ning Wang family. If you have the opportunity to drink it there, I am afraid that even the Emperor of Chu would never have such a blessing!

He took a small box of tea handed over by Li Gan, and took it in his arms like a treasure. He thanked Li Qing repeatedly. Seeing him like that, after taking it back, he was afraid he would not be able to drink it.

He personally sent Lu Yiming to the door of the study and watched the other party disappear from sight. Only then did Li Qing say to Li Gan: "Tell Jiyue, just say that it will take half an hour for me to pass."

"Yes, the Grand Marshal!" Li Gan retreated from the door, and Li Gan's low voice came from outside the door. It was the girl he was telling Jiyue.

On the desk, the remaining half of the daughter Xiang was lying quietly on the big table. Li Qing sat back and stared at the half box of tea. A woman's figure appeared in her mind.

In the Shenzhou military camp, he drove her away and was confined to the Lianshan Island. He always thought he hated her, but today he saw this box of tea, suddenly touched the forbidden area deep in his heart. When the anger subsided, Li Qing found that he could not drive away the shadow that was deep in his heart no matter what.

Whether it is the past life or this life, this is the first woman to move and give sincerely. No matter what she did to herself, she still couldn't let her go. Li Qing covered her face with both hands and lowered her head in pain, "Super evil! I want to know you, and my life will never fade away! There are no tombs, the river water is exhausted, the winter thunder, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and earth are united, but I dare to die with you." A crisp voice seemed to be remembered in my mind, reciting this Yuefu poem. It was written down by myself after a night of endless spring breeze and gave it to her. At that time, she leaned in her arms and read it word by word with her nice voice.

Li Qing's expression was a little dazed, the shadow of the breeze appeared and disappeared, and suddenly, the sound of golden swords and iron horses rumbling. Countless Dingzhou soldiers screamed and fell from the horse, lying bloodily on the snow, dyeing the white snow red. These figures faded away, but Chen Zeyue's face appeared clearly in his mind. He was shorter, but when he looked carefully, he had lost two legs, and that face was still smiling at himself.

"General, I am willing to die with you!" Qingfeng's voice suddenly rang out, Li Qing suddenly screamed, jumped up, and his hands suddenly overturned the big case in front of him. The copywriting and ink on the table suddenly spilled all over the floor. Li Gan, who was standing quietly, jumped up in fear, "Master!" He shouted.

Li Qing suddenly woke up, stood in the room with panic. Looking at Li Gan, who was a little panicked, he waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm overworked these days, and I'm a little nervous." He reached out and rubbed his temples, squatted, and packed up the copywriting on the ground. Li Gan came to help as well.

After the two of them finished, it was already dark outside. Li Qing clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the backyard!"

Li Qing walked out of the door and walked towards the back house. Li Gan summoned another guard, one left and one right, following Li Qing to the back house. After Ji Yue moved to the Hou Mansion, he lived in the west courtyard. After Qingcheng passed away, no one dared to move without Li Qing's instructions. Ji Yue was an extremely smart person, so of course he would not move to the east courtyard on his own initiative, even if it was twice as big as the west courtyard. What's more, Li Qing's other children live there now, Ji Shi and Xinyi!

Li Qing walked past the screen wall and was about to step onto the corridor of the west courtyard, but suddenly stopped and turned his eyes to the east courtyard. The yard of the east courtyard was brightly lit, and sometimes there were a burst of children's joyful laughter and applause. Unconsciously, Li Qing's body turned towards him.

Standing at the entrance of the East Courtyard, Li Qing looked inside. A pair of children with pink makeup were dressed round and were staggering on the snow in the yard. It was Ji Shi and Xinyi. The two little guys were three months younger than Anmin and just turned two years old. Thinking of this, Li Qing was shocked. Ji Shi and Xinyi were two years old. Didn’t their birthday be seven days ago?

Although the yard was brightly lit, there were not many people serving him. The huge hall seemed deserted. Li Qing felt a little painful in his heart, and then walked inward.

"Master!" A woman shouted, and then the only few maids and servants in the East Courtyard trotted all the way under the guidance of a woman.

"Yang Zhou has seen the Grand Marshal!" The woman blessed Li Qingfu, but the maids and servants behind her knelt down. Li Qing smiled and said, "Forget it, let's get up!" This woman was Yang Yidao's wife. After Qingcheng died, the servants she brought from the palace naturally could not stay in the mansion. Li Qing came over to help take care of these children.

Ji Shi and Xinyi naturally saw Li Qing strode in. His face was full of surprise and he rolled over, but he hid behind Yang Zhou timidly. Ji Shi tilted his head, pointed his fingers in his mouth, and looked at Li Qing with wide eyes. Xinyi's filthy little hands tightly held Yang Zhou's clothes, leaning her small faces against Yang Zhou's legs, her eyes drooping, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Li Qing.

The son and daughter didn't recognize themselves anymore. Li Qing squatted down, stretched out his hands, and shouted: "Ji Shi, Xin Yi, come here, Daddy, hug you!"

The two villains were unmoved. Li Qing stretched out his hands and half-squatted there with a little awkwardly. Yang Zhou, who was on the side, quickly squatted down and said, "Young master, Miss, this is what I often tell you about daddy, come over!" He reached out and pushed the two children's backs.

After a while, Ji Shi finally stepped on his calves and walked over. Li Qing held him in his arms. Seeing Ji Shi walked over, Xinyi walked over hesitantly under the urge of Yang Zhou. Although Li Qing held it in his arms, she still turned her head and looked at Yang Zhou timidly. Tears were actually rolling around in her big eyes.

Looking at the eyes of the two children, Li Qing couldn't help but shrink and looked at Yang Zhou, "Are they doing well?"

Yang Zhou whispered: "Master, the child is still young and ignorant, but he is happy every day. Even at night, he often calls for his mother!"

Li Qing's face darkened and she sighed: "No one bullies them, right?"

Yang Zhou smiled and said, "That won't be. The yard is much deserted!" Yang Zhou naturally knew what Li Qing asked, but after Ji Yue came, she did not make things difficult for these children, but she had never come to the East Courtyard to take a look.

"Ji Shi and Xinyi celebrated their birthday seven days ago. I haven't come back yet, so I feel wronged them!" Li Qing said.

Yang Zhou said: "I still remember that day and ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of birthday noodles for them. Oh, Lord Lu sent someone to send a few gifts to the two children."

Li Qing nodded, "Master Lu is intent!"

The two children stayed in Li Qing's arms for a long time, and finally the child became more courageous. Jishi actually reached out to pull Li Qing's beard. After pulling it a few times, his interest increased greatly. He was both hands together. Xinyi, who was on one side, smiled like a princess. The laughter of the children made the yard more angry.

Holding Ji Shi and Xinyi with both hands, Li Qing turned around and walked out.

"Master, are you going to do this?" Yang Zhou asked hesitantly.

"I took them to meet their brothers. They are over two years old. They have never met before, right?" Li Qing said.

Yang Zhou was slightly surprised. Seeing Li Qing strode away, he quickly followed.

Compared with the east courtyard, the west courtyard is much more lively. The snow in the yard is cleaned up. It is hung on the trees during the New Year. The red silk and lanterns under the corridor have not been taken down. The guard Liu Qiang, who has been following Jiyue, saw Li Qing coming from afar, and quickly brought a group of people to greet him.

Stepping into the yard, dozens of maids and servants bowed down, "I've seen the general!"

A figure flashed at the entrance of the hall, and a graceful figure floated out.
