In just a few days, Li Jing was already at home with a smooth face. Looking at his energetic appearance, he seemed ten or twenty years younger. Li Po felt that his mother-in-law did not blame Pharmacist Li for taking a concubine in Jiangling.
.
What a good wife and mother, Li Po said with emotion. Li Jing's greatest blessing in his life may be to marry a good wife. No matter how bad he is outside, Mrs. Chen can still leave him a stable home behind.
.
However, the news that Li Jing had taken two concubines in Jiangling reached Li Po's ears. While complaining about his mother-in-law, Li Po felt that next time Li Jing fell into trouble again, Mrs. Chen would probably stand on the edge of the pit and try her best.
Fill down with soil.
Of course, Li Po didn't care. The most he could do was to apologize for his mother-in-law. Li Jing was still able to take a concubine at such an old age, which meant that he was still very energetic and would be more comfortable in training, so he didn't have to worry too much about the attitude of his wife and mother-in-law.
It can be seen from here that Li Jing is really capable of jumping into pits...
………………
Li Jing is indeed in a good mood.
He had been away for another four years. When he came home to take a rest, he was naturally very happy to see that everything was fine at home as his wife's friends said.
I haven’t been back for four years and my family has undergone great changes.
The mansion has been moved to the imperial city, the ancestral hall of the Miyuan Li family will also be moved to the capital, the wife has been granted the title of Madam of the State of Jin, the daughter has given birth to a son, the husband and wife are in harmony, and their status has become more stable.
Even the two little beasts in his family are still so useless, but with the protection of his sister, they can live comfortably without worrying about being bullied.
The most important thing is actually that as soon as he returned to Beijing, there was a bustling crowd, and there was an endless stream of people coming to visit him. His own somewhat uncertain future became clear as rumors continued to spread to his ears.
This greatly satisfied his vanity.
Of course, people who have suffered big losses know that they should not be too complacent, as when the weather is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be disaster.
Therefore, he declined various invitations in the past two days. He only invited Wei Jie, the eunuch of the Young Mansion, to come over to the house, and also called the father and son of Jingzhao Yin Yuanlang to accompany him for a small gathering.
Wei Jie was Li Jing's close friend. They had gone through many adversities together and were close friends of life and death. They talked about everything.
Yuen Long was Li Jing's nephew. The old man and Li Jing were both masters and servants, but also family members. They gathered together and had a great time drinking together.
The old man is old. Not only is he an old man from Mayi, but he also has a half-master friendship with the emperor. He has been taken care of over the years. He originally went to the Sixth Stable of the Emperor to take charge of the Weiyang Stable and served under the Shaofu.
In the past two years, my health has deteriorated, so I resigned from my job and took care of myself at home. Apart from beating and scolding my sons and teaching my grandchildren, I had nothing to do.
Recently, he has become obsessed with the joy of fishing. He often goes to the Maritime Academy outside the city and takes people to scatter some fish fry, preparing to raise them for two years, so that he can use it as his own fish pond and enjoy the fun of fishing.
In fact, he is old and likes to deal with young people. He has no knowledge. When he goes to Chang'an Academy, he is afraid of being laughed at and what people say about a horse breeder who comes to the academy to join in the fun?
So I came up with the idea of a maritime academy...
It just so happens that that place is also on the border of Jingzhao. It is under the jurisdiction of my son and has a lot of conveniences. There is also a place for him to help out at the Maritime Academy. After all, many things have to be dealt with by the young government, the Ministry of Industry, the craftsmen as supervisors, and the garrison.
, these elders of the yamen are all familiar with each other, and they often run around to find something to do.
Well, in Yuen Long, as I get older, I have become a bit more stable and not as jumpy as before. But what is worrying is that most of my friends are the remnants of false kings, and it is easy to cause trouble.
Wei Jie is still so down-to-earth, he is in charge of the young master's office and has a high and powerful position, but he is low-key and has a kind and honest temperament. He sits in the young master's position and stops moving.
Li Jing knew the temperament of his close friend, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was estimated that Wei Jie was planning to serve as a young official.
Li Jing felt a little regretful. He felt that with Wei Jie's talent, he shouldn't be so willing to be mediocre. If a man and a real man go through this world, if he can't fully demonstrate what he has learned and make contributions, wouldn't he be doing himself a disservice?
Well, these two people, who have very different personalities, different family backgrounds, and very different ambitions, became close friends because they met by chance.
However, even though Wei Jie is a bit unprogressive, he is very sensitive to the trends in the DPRK, especially the various national policies currently being implemented by the DPRK. He has his own understanding, and is not the kind of person who follows what others say.
In the past few years, Li Jing had benefited from this. During the exchange of letters, he had a good understanding of the goings-on in the court.
His sources of information are actually nothing more than Wei Jie and others, as well as his precious daughter.
………………
After a meal of wine, Li Jing successfully regained the feeling of being in the capital, but he felt that there were too many chickens, ducks and fish at home, which was a bit unseemly...
Therefore, when Li Jing entered the palace to pay his respects, he felt confident.
Li Po took time out of his busy schedule to accompany his father-in-law. He did not accept Li Jing in Liangyi Hall or Ganlu Hall, but specially invited Li Jing into the harem.
In Qingning Palace, he and Li Bi hosted a banquet for Li Jing.
This was the second time Li Jing came to the Harem Forbidden Garden. At first, he went to the palace to see his daughter because he wanted to say goodbye.
At that time, Li Bi was a little annoyed and complained a few words to him, but she could not stop Li Jing from pursuing his achievements.
Now Li Jing returned to Beijing to report on his duties and revisited his old place. On the way to Qingning Palace, Li Jing said with deep emotion: "It has been nearly five years since His Majesty took the throne. Everywhere is full of vitality, but the palace still looks the same as before.
Think about Li Yuan and others, who did not carry out large-scale construction and build palaces when he came to the throne? Your Majesty can be so self-responsible and always show simplicity to others. This alone will make him far better than Li Yuan and his like, and he will definitely be a wise king in the future..."
The flattery from my father-in-law, although the filming is not very good, and at the moment, I don’t want to compare people like Li Yuan and Xiao Mian with the current prince.
Under Li Po's rule, those people were all usurpers. It was enough to talk about them in the past few years. After all, the ownership of the world was still in question. In addition, Li Yuan and Xiao Mian were both from good backgrounds, so it was normal to talk about it in private.
.
But now, with the emperor's majesty all over the world, and Yu Nei as his ruler, who would compare a loser with the emperor of today? He doesn't even use flattery.
It's like a nobleman surrounded by carriages and horses passing by on the street, but you point to the beggar on the street and say, ah, you are much more majestic than him. Can you be so complimentary?
But Li Po still accepted the order, and said with a bared smile: "With tens of millions of mansions, it will bring joy to the poor people in the world... The place where I live is gorgeous enough, so there is no need to be greedy. The only thing I wish for is the world."
All my subjects can be protected from cold and hunger, and can live and work in peace and contentment under my rule."
The emperor composed a poem again. Li Jing blinked and thought to himself, could this mean that one is better than another? Well, he really dared to think...
However, the magnanimity shown in the emperor's words still touched Li Jing, but before he could figure out how to flatter him, he deeply realized how cunning this son-in-law was.
Li Po looked at his father-in-law and continued with a smile: "Take the teacher as an example. I have lived a comfortable life in Jiangling in the past few years, and I am also very happy to have two concubines waiting by my side.
…”
Li Jing's heart... that is to say, he doesn't have a heart disease, otherwise he would lie down and show you right away.
It's just that he has experienced a lot and has been a feudal official for several years. Li Jing is still stable, thinking in his heart, why does everyone take this as an issue?
Forget it about the mother-in-law at home, it is natural for women to be jealous, but why did Wei Jie and Yuan Wenda use this to make fun of him?
Especially that little brat from Yuen Long, he actually dared to say a few words in every possible way. He really didn’t know what the heavens and the earth were…
Is he the kind of person who loves beauty? Isn't it a way to govern Jiangyou and win over people's hearts? Otherwise, how could he do such a thing that is disgraceful and not in line with the court rules?
Well, Li Jing is also full of grievances.
"His Majesty……"
Li Po waved his hand, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "Teacher, there is no need to explain, I am not Emperor Wen? This little thing is not enough...
I just think that the teacher is old and it’s better to take care of his health. Well, I also want to give the teacher a warning. After Sanniang heard about this, she threw several cups and plates in front of me and even started to fight.
It’s nothing if I get a few punches. We used to lead soldiers and are used to fighting with each other, but teachers should be more careful. Sanniang’s temper has not been very good in the past two years.”
Li Jing secretly stroked his chest, his heart ached a little... and his steps slowed down. He undoubtedly had his old habit again, and became a little timid after doing things.
He looked at his son-in-law, his mind was in a state of confusion. With his emotional intelligence, he was really not able to distinguish the meaning contained in Li Po's words. Was he joking or hinting at something else? Li Jing couldn't guess.
This is what is said about a king's heart being unpredictable.
Moreover, Li Jing and his student and son-in-law could actually be said to be the closest strangers, and the total time they spent together was only a few hours.
In other words, Li Jing didn't understand his son-in-law's character at all, let alone what Li Po was thinking.
In fact, looking at it from another perspective, this is generally the treatment that high officials from feudal territories receive when they return to the court, and it is also a test they must pass before the king.
It's just that Li Jing has a special status and is a little unprepared mentally.
………………
After causing some trouble for his father-in-law, Li Po entered Qingning Palace in a happy mood.
Li Bi and his people are already waiting outside...
With Li Po's words as a foundation, Li Jing felt anxious when he saw his daughter. Seeing his daughter smiling like a flower and welcoming her father with surprise, Li Jing felt much calmer.
He really didn't know how much Xiao Jiujiu was in the hearts of this couple.
Entering the main hall of Qingning Palace, the family sat down. Li Bi ordered the food and wine to be passed around, dismissed the servants, and poured the wine for his father and husband himself.
Li Jing was greatly relieved, looking at his daughter's busy figure, but he was still a little worried that his daughter would be too tough with her hands and feet. He sighed secretly in his heart, and finally felt that the idea of nurturing his daughter to be the pillar of the Li family was too nonsense.
