Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 625 Family Crisis
It was just an episode at first, but when Li Qinzai returned home, he became more and more suspicious as he thought about it.

In this era, concubines are allowed, especially for wealthy families, and it is even more common for the master to take concubines.

Moreover, the concubine basically has no human rights. Her life and death are in the hands of the master and the wife. However, if the concubine escapes a little bit, it may miraculously appear in the well the next day.

Li Qinzai's father, Li Siwen, seems to be gentle and decent, he only reads books every day, and looks like a serious and honest man.

But... are scholars honest?

At this age, Li Ji still keeps a foreign house. Isn't Li Siwen a bit of a playboy?
The drunk customer in the restaurant was about 20 years old. According to him, his sister was Li Siwen's concubine. If he made a little deduction, his sister was definitely not more than 30 years old.

And judging from his determined and arrogant appearance, it doesn't look like a lie at all. If the matter is false, he will not have the confidence to be so arrogant at all, and he can't pretend it.

"Husband, don't be joking, Ah Weng is over 40 years old, how can he take a concubine, and Auntie doesn't agree." Cui Jie looked at him in surprise.

The corner of Li Qinzai's mouth twitched: "The old man is talking about being a teenager, the wife on the left, the concubine on the right, a man's flowery intestines, what do women know?"

Cui Jie raised her eyebrows and said with a half smile but not a smile: "I really don't understand my husband's flamboyant intestines, what can my husband tell me?"

Li Qinzai was startled, and said calmly: "You're talking about my father, why are you talking about me?"

Cui Jie snorted: "The princess next to your husband, the princess's, it's confusing. Even the maid who serves your husband is a princess. I'm afraid your husband is no less playful than Ah Weng?"

"No matter how weird you are, I'm going to order you to do the task..."

Cui Jie was so ashamed that she suddenly uttered the joy of husband and wife, she blushed and gave him a hard look, but she didn't dare to continue the flirtatious topic.

"It's just a nonsense thing. It's just a drunken guest talking nonsense. Husband, please don't make it a big deal, or Auntie will be sad." Cui Jie said seriously.

Li Qinzai hummed, then stroked his chin and said, "I will be cautious."

Li Qinzai said again: "Why don't you go to the Wannian County Prison to interrogate that person first, and if he is telling the truth, then go to that woman's residence, um, I'm going to catch the rape!"

Cui Jie was shocked: "There is no reason for a son to catch his father for rape, the more the husband talks, the more he is an idiot."

It was about his parents, so Li Qinzai had no idea. He scratched his head for a while and said, "I'd better test my father's attitude."

Saying that, Li Qinzai got up and went out.

Cui Jie worriedly warned behind him: "Husband, don't talk nonsense, don't annoy Ah Weng, be careful of getting beaten..."

Li Qinzai said without turning his head: "What you said, if I don't annoy him, will he stop beating me?"

…………

Both Li Siwen and Li Cuishi were in the study.

Li Siwen was holding a book in his hand. Maybe he was a bit short-sighted when reading all the year round. The book was very close to his eyes, almost touching his nose, as if he was smelling the book instead of reading it.

Sitting on the futon, Li Cuishi embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks stitch by stitch. With exquisite embroidery and lifelike patterns, her skills were somewhat stronger than Cui Jie's.

An old couple is sitting in a quiet study room, busy with their own affairs, the picture is very warm, and the years are very quiet.

The appearance of Li Qinzai destroyed this beautiful picture.

Pushing the door open, Li Qinzai was about to open his mouth when Li Siwen raised his head and glared at him: "Have you forgotten all the family rules after being sealed as a county lord? You won't even knock on the door."

Li Qinzai immediately let out a voice: "Kang Bang Bang!"

Li Cuishi chuckled: "This is knocking on the door, not knocking on the door. You are already a magistrate of the county, but you are still so naughty..."

Li Siwen snorted, lowered his head and continued to read, not wanting to talk to him at all.

Li Qinzai grinned: "Mother, what about embroidery?"

Li Cui showed him a pair of mandarin ducks that were about to be embroidered: "Embroider a pair of pillows for you and Jie'er. Mandarin ducks are auspicious birds. You and your wife sleep on them every night, and you will add a big fat to your mother in the coming year." grandson."

Li Qinzai said seriously: "Mother, this mandarin duck should be posted in the bathroom, it is a high-consumption item..."

Li Cui:? ? ?

Li Qinzai sighed. Originally, he planned to develop the Guogong Mansion into Chang'an Bathing Center. It is estimated that Li Cui knew what a mandarin duck play was.

It's a pity that this move too ruined the style of the family. With Li Qinzai's level of bastard, he didn't dare to easily provoke the sticks of his grandfather and his own father.

Li Cui said dissatisfiedly: "We have been married for almost two years. Why do you and Jie'er never see each other? Qin Zai, Jie'er is your wife. Now that you are a Marquis, the title is to be passed down from generation to generation. The room must have a son-in-law..."

Seeing that Li Qinzai was indifferent, Li Cui sighed again: "It's not that my mother doesn't like Qiao'er, your father and I love you very much, but love belongs to love, rules are rules, and the title can only be inherited by the son-in-law. This is an iron law .”

Li Qinzai smiled wryly, "Mother, I'm only in my 20s, so there's no need to talk about inheritance so early?"

Li Cui's face darkened and said: "It must be discussed. No matter how old you are, since you have a title, you should give birth to a son as soon as possible. This is the heart of everyone, understand?"

Just as Li Qinzai was about to say something, Li Siwen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Your mother is right, if you dare to talk back, I will beat you to death."

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched.

Although he was already a county lord and his status was much higher than Li Siwen's, but Li Siwen's simple sentence "Smash you to death" still made Li Qinzai immediately cower.

"My child will work hard." Li Qinzai said solemnly.

Go back and tell Cui Jie that from now on, treat yourself like a donkey every night, and don't treat him like a human being.

Li Siwen took a military newspaper from the desk next to him and handed it to him: "Your grandfather sent someone to send it this morning, the Tuyuhun military newspaper."

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "My boy has returned to Chang'an, General Su killed people and set fire to Tuyuhun, my boy doesn't care..."

Li Siwen raised his head, with a cold light in his eyes, Li Qinzai immediately took it honestly.

There is no way, there is no reason to talk to my own father, people only talk about violence, so what if you become a magistrate?Have you never seen a magistrate being beaten?As long as Li Qinzai talks back again, Quan Chang'an will know that Xinjin County Marquis, a hero of the country, is crying and howling under the stick of his own father...

Unfolding the military newspaper, Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows.

Yes, good news.

Su Dingfang led a [-]-strong army, and cooperated with the [-] Anxi Army of Anxi Governor Pei Xingjian and Zheng Rentai's [-] Frontier Army to sweep the fallen leaves in Tuyuhun.

Lu Dongzan had already returned to the plateau, and sent envoys to Chang'an, one to plead guilty to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and the other shamelessly continued to propose marriage.

The current combat mission of Su Dingfang's army is not to repel Tubo, but to eliminate the stubborn forces in Tuyuhun.
