Mao Xiang, Zhang Heng, Liu Ming and other colleagues in Jinyi were all present, as well as Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, and Lan Yu, Duke of Liang.
There are not many people, but everyone has a high position and authority.
There were not many banquets, only six tables, but it was extremely sumptuous.
They are all great people, and their gifts are all valuable.
The gift sent by the Duke of Wei is particularly valuable. It is the authentic copy of Li Bai's "Jinjinjiu". Its value is difficult to estimate even in this era.
Lan Yu was also extremely generous. After all, Li Qing had saved his life, but he was really a rough man and had no hobby of collecting paintings and calligraphy.
He knew that Li Qing believed the truth, so he simply found someone to build a golden body of the Supreme Lord overnight.
It would be difficult for one person to lift such a large lump of gold, which weighs at least eighty kilograms.
The gift given by Li Jinglong is the most elegant and elegant, a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
The pen holder is made of top-quality huanghuali, and the brush hair is taken from Wolf King Hair, which was shot by his father when he was fighting in Mobei. Even the pen cover is carved from top-quality jade;
The ink comes from the most famous Huizhou oil smoke ink in the Song Dynasty;
The paper is the same type of rice paper used by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It is as light as cicada wings and as white as snow, the best of the best;
Inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in the Song Dynasty, the best Taohe inkstone;
Even the pen holder is made of top-grade red sandalwood and is meticulously crafted. This set of four treasures of the study is extremely rare to find. How could Li Qing be willing to write?
Mao Xiang and others were naturally not as good as them, but Li Qing always treated them with worldly kindness and unusual gifts, and he spent a lot of money on them.
Such as Longjing tea pillow, calligraphy and painting by famous people from the previous dynasty...
The gift Liu Ming gave him was the most suitable one. It was an erotic album painted by Zhao Mengfu, a master of the previous dynasty.
After hosting a wedding banquet, Li Qing made a lot of money.
In ancient times, the process of marrying a wife was very complicated, including receiving a gift, asking for a name, accepting a gift, accepting a levy, asking for a date, welcoming the bride, and worshiping heaven and earth.
But taking a concubine is much simpler. You just need to carry the person home, and you don't even need to worship heaven and earth.
The three girls just decorated the new house, put on red wedding dresses, put on red headscarves and sat on the embroidered couch, waiting for their husband.
The banquet dispersed after dark, and the guests returned home after enjoying themselves. Li Qing sent the guests away and returned to the backyard.
He drank a lot, but he was extremely sober and had real energy in his body. Unless he wanted to get drunk, he would never get drunk.
Three wing rooms were located in a row. Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then went to the red sleeve room first according to his age.
When you lift the red hijab, you will see a well-groomed pretty face. Today's red sleeves are particularly beautiful. The joy on her face, coupled with the candlelight, is so beautiful.
"Sir." Hongxiu called out affectionately. She, who had been dating Li Qing for countless times, was actually a little shy at this moment.
Hong Xiu stood up, picked up the wine pot, poured some Hexin wine, handed him a glass, and said, "Sir, please drink this glass to the full."
Li Qing smiled and nodded, drinking from her cup.
"Good wine, even more delicious than what is served at the banquet." Li Qing was very interested, "Have another glass."
Hongxiu obediently poured him another glass, but Li Qing said, "Drink it differently."
"Drink something else..." Hong Xiu's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and put the wine in her mouth, then she kissed him with her lips parted, passing the wine to him little by little.
After just one cup, Hongxiu became drunk, her eyes were spinning, and everything fell into place.
Li Qing is extremely gentle, and Hongxiu is also as tender as water. The feeling of relaxing even the soul is something I have never experienced before.
After finishing his business, Li Qing did not leave. He spoke softly and affectionately to Xiao Nizi, making her cry and laugh, and made his chest wet with tears.
"Sir, it's getting late. Don't keep the two sisters waiting." Hongxiu said with tears in her eyes, "I am so happy today."
Li Qing straightened her scattered black hair and kissed her fair forehead, "Go to rest early."
Lianxiang Wing.
Xiao Nizi had already thought of eight hundred tricks. As soon as Li Qing lifted her hijab, Xiao Nizi started to show off.
Among the three women, she is the most daring, and she is even more so today. She actually wants Li Qing to take an unusual path, which will make him unable to deal with it.
"Sir, don't worry, I've been cleaned."
Li Qing was moved, and the daisies were as beautiful as poetry, which was irresistible.
Same happiness, different feeling.
Wanling wing.
When she lifted up the red hijab, her pretty face, which still looked a bit childish, was breathtakingly beautiful.
The three girls each have their own characteristics, Hongxiu is the softest, Lianxiang is the hottest, and Wanling's childishness can give him a guilty pleasure.
After Duke Zhou's gift, before Li Qing could say any words of love, Wan Ling had already burst into tears, hugging him tightly and telling her inner joy.
Li Qing regretted a little. He should have given them status a long time ago. Fortunately, it is not too late now.
…
The story of Li Qing's taking a concubine soon spread in the court. In the Sixth Section, the Censor Yanguan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, immediately became excited and wrote one impeachment memorial after another.
But he only received a scolding from Lao Zhu and no real harm at all.
Everything was progressing according to Li Qing's expectations. After learning that he had taken a concubine, Lao Zhu did not force the marriage, and Mu Zhuoer did not come back since that day.
As he expected, Mu Zhuoer is an extremely proud person, and has not been manipulated by emotions, nor has he stalked or messed around.
Li Qing admires that a seventeen-year-old woman can be so rational. Of course, it's just appreciation.
Now, he was finally relieved and could live a plain and fulfilling life with peace of mind.
In the blink of an eye, the first month came out, and in the afternoon, Li Qing came to the Imperial Study Room as usual.
Just as he was preparing to reduce Zhu Biao's burden, Zhu Yuanzhang came and said, "Li Qing, get ready and go to Peking tomorrow."
"ah?"
Li Qing and Zhu Biao were surprised at the same time, and their expressions were synchronized, and they looked unhappy.
Zhu Biao finally managed to train a helper, but he really didn't want Li Qing to go away. Li Qing was used to living a comfortable life and didn't want to run around anymore.
"Ah what?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "The most important thing right now is to reconcile the relationship between Han and Yuan, which is related to the Ming Dynasty's eternal hegemony. What are your expressions?"
The two nodded sadly, and Li Qing said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, why me?"
"You bastard, why don't you understand our painstaking efforts?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Aren't we asking you to make meritorious deeds? When Biao'er takes over in the future, we will have a reason to promote you!"
After a pause, "Your Jinyi Guards have been traveling in Mobei for so long and are familiar with many routes. If they follow them, they will avoid being tricked by the Yuan people. Although this possibility is very small, it is better to be cautious."
wrong."
What else could Li Qing say, "I obey your orders."
"Okay, I know you just took a concubine, and we are not unreasonable people. You don't need to enter Mobei this time. You only need to coordinate the overall situation in Beiping."
Li Qing hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to bring my family with me?"
"You want to eat shit." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "With your concubine, do you still have the energy to run errands?
What we mean is that you should take care of the chief envoy of Peiping, and when your Jin Yiwei and his government servants are familiar with the terrain, let him take over the whole situation. By then, you will have made a great contribution."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "It's not like marching to fight. We travel very quickly. It will only take more than half a year at most."
Li Qing laughed and said, "I obey your order."
After returning home, Li Qing briefly explained the matter. When the three women learned that he was going on a business trip again, they were reluctant to leave him, but they also supported him sensibly and carefully packed his things for him like little wives.
Lao Zhu was very interesting and gave him the status of imperial envoy, which made it much easier for him to do things.
The imperial envoy represents the emperor. The chief envoy in Peiping can dislike him, but he cannot dislike the imperial envoy.
On the second day, Li Qing led his subordinates, three princesses from the Yuan Dynasty, and fifteen ministers to Peking.
Unfortunately, Mu Zhuoer was among them, but fortunately she did not make trouble unreasonably, and was not even willing to say anything to him. Li Qing was also happy and at ease.
More than twenty days later, the group rushed to Peiping smoothly.
When the imperial envoy came to Peiping, he naturally wanted to pay a visit to King Yan. This was not a formality, but a necessary courtesy.
Zhu Di was very polite to him. After all, it didn't take Nai'er to surrender last time. His map played a vital role, and he was given food and wine to entertain him warmly.
During the banquet, Xu Miaoyun brought her son over to express her gratitude to Li Qing.
The news of Xu Da's recovery has been sent to Peking. Xu Miaoyun was very happy. As a daughter, her father's chronic illness was cured, so she naturally expressed her gratitude to the doctor who had such a wonderful hand.
Li Qing stood up and said some polite words before looking at Xiaopang.
It’s been a year since we last saw each other. Little Fatty has grown taller and fatter, but he’s still as cute as ever.
It's rare that the little guy still remembers him and is still close to him. Li Qing will naturally not say anything unless he yells to come to the table.
But Zhu Di was unhappy, and immediately started to scold him with a sullen face. Then, Xu Miaoyun's eyes widened, and Zhu Di immediately withered and did not dare to fart.
Although Xu Miaoyun's movements were very subtle, Li Qing could still see clearly and thought to himself: "There are so many love affairs in the Old Zhu family!"
