Chapter 92 Mother is more valuable than child (3)
Although Deng Qi was secretly pleased with Shen Mo's love for him when he was young and frivolous, although he was very pleased with Shen Mo's tenderness and obedience when he was newly married, Qi Yu resolutely left Deng's ancestral home and went to Yunnan to marry Xue Xue Yes, Deng Qi's dream of hugging left and right was shattered all of a sudden, and he didn't like Shen Mo anymore.Deng Qi once told himself over and over again, "If I knew this was the case, I would rather take Yu'er away and fly away, and never return to the capital."

It's good for Funinghou Mansion to decorate and marry a wife, or for Shen Mo to marry into Deng's family as the grandson's wife, what's the use?If I don't go back to Beijing, don't consummate the room with Shen Mo, and leave her alone in Deng's house, what kind of trouble can she cause?Every time Deng Qi thought of this, he would sigh deeply, deeply regretful.

Deng Qi is probably also getting old, and he often loves to look back on the past.The more I think about it, the more I feel that good fortune has tricked me, and I often feel infinitely wronged.Marrying Shen Mo, how could I be happy, I sleep with jade in my dreams, often wake up from the dream in the middle of the night, the room is cold, full of sadness, alone.

Regrets are regrets, but Shen Mo is already married, Zhiping and Zhihan are already born, what can I do?The two of them were noble from birth, and everyone in the Deng family valued them, so they couldn't beat the two innocent children to death just because the Shen family was down and Shen Mo was ruthless, right?
Deng Qi has long disliked his legitimate wife, Shen Mo, but his love for Zhiping and Zhihan, who were carefully raised as sons and daughters since childhood, remains the same as before.Zhiping is his charming daughter, Zhihan is his beloved son, this will not change.

"I'm not for Shen Mo, but for my own child, understand?" Deng Qi really wanted to catch up with Xue Neng and reason with him, "It's nothing to divorce Shen Mo, how can Zhiping get married, husband How can the family value her? How can Zhihan take over the Deng family and be the helm of the Deng family?"

You can't hurt the jade bottle for hitting a mouse, understand?Deng Qi was angry.

Yu'er has already married you and had children for you, Xue Neng, what are you dissatisfied with?She was originally my wife, if it wasn't for the good fortune to trick others, it would be me and her who will stay together at this moment!

Yu'er marries another, and little Qingque cannot grow up by her side...

Just like that, Deng Qi rushed out alone with a stomach full of anger, and went straight to the Jin Palace.He originally wanted to complain to Qing Que, but it was a pity that King Jin didn't want to save face. Seeing that his face was not good, he stopped him directly and carried him to the study.

Deng Qi sat in the study for a long time, and gradually calmed down.Little Qingque has grown up so much, married, and her husband is still so gentle and considerate, caring for her meticulously, and being a father is content.As for Zhihan's marriage, it depends on his good fortune. Sometimes it must be there in fate, and there is no time in fate. Don't force it.

Deng Qi was already in a good mood when he really walked in to see Qingque.Knowing that Qingque is happy, and that he will soon be a grandfather, he is even more ecstatic.Silly for a while, ran to pick cherries.

He rode out of Prince Jin's Mansion enthusiastically, and took a small road to the outside of the city.Niu Niu likes to eat sour food, as the saying goes, sour is hot, it seems that Niu Niu is going to give birth to a child, great!The more I think about it, the happier I am, and the faster I run.

When walking to a secluded alley, a gray figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.Deng Qi's horse was too fast and he couldn't hold it back. Although he hastily reined in the horse, he still tripped the man.

"Riding horses and hurting people in downtown, do you still have the king's law?" "Bah! Relying on your own wealth and power, you can't take the lives of us poor!" Don’t stop there, brothers, copy the guys, and do justice for the heavens!” A dozen ragged beggars jumped out of the side, yelling and cursing, or holding dog sticks, or begging With broken bowls and basins, he rushed over aggressively.

It's hard to resist a dog-beating stick, but it's also terrible to hit a broken bowl and pot, okay? Hitting people's heads is not for fun.

Deng Qi yelled, "He rushed out suddenly! He rushed straight towards me!" The beggar who was hit was lying on the ground rolling and moaning, as if he was seriously injured and in pain, but it was himself I rushed up.

"It's okay to bump into someone!" "You look like a human, don't speak human words!" "Stop talking nonsense with him, beat him hard!" , wooden sticks and stab at Deng Qi together.There were so many beggars, Deng Qi panicked again, and was soon pulled off his horse by them, raised his stick, and greeted him nonchalantly.

Deng Qi was wearing a waist knife, so of course they couldn't let them go wild. He pulled out the knife and danced wildly, "If you don't stop, don't blame me for being ruthless!"When Deng Qi saw that there were so many people on the other side, and he refused to reason at all, Deng Qi felt agitated.

At this moment, a gentle and calm man's voice sounded, "Master Deng, don't panic, Zhang Hu is here to help you." Deng Qi raised his head and looked over in the midst of his busy schedule. As clear and clear as the autumn moon, it's not Zhang Hu, but which one?

Deng Qi was elated, "Zhang Hu, come here!" Zhang Hu is a good kid, dealing with these dozen beggars, haha, it's a piece of cake!
When the dozen or so beggars heard Zhang Hu's name, most of them panicked.The son of the British government, he won the championship of the three armies when he was young, and dozens of young and strong men couldn't get close to him.The dozen or so of me...?It's better to run quickly, it's important to escape.

With a roar, more than a dozen beggars, together with the one who rolled and moaned in front of Deng Qima, divided into four directions and fled outward like rabbits.

Deng Qi stamped his feet, "These bastards, we can't let them run away like this!" He ran after him.The beggars ran in four directions, and he probably picked them. He felt that the bastard going north beat him the hardest, so he chased them northward.

Deng Qi desperately caught up with one of them, raised his foot, and made that person stagger, walking unsteadily.Deng Qi waved his waist knife, and put it on the man's neck heroically, "Boy, let's capture him with nothing!"

Stopped one, but the remaining two ran away quickly, unable to catch them in time.

"It's a pity that only one was caught." Deng Qi was depressed, and inadvertently raised his eyes, and saw all the fallen beggars behind, on the left, and on the right, cursing and crying while clutching their calves without exception.

Zhang Hu stood quietly among them in a black long gown, his eyes were cold.

"This kid's hidden weapon isn't bad." Deng Qi counted several people, and he couldn't help but be convinced, "Except for the two running on my side, the rest were all brought down by him."

"You are so good at using hidden weapons, why do you want to let go of two?" Deng Qi approached Zhang Hu and complained.

Zhang Hu glanced at him indifferently, but said nothing.You are not good enough, and you are still trying to make up, it is purely making trouble.You are so close to them, if I accidentally hurt you, how can I explain to Little Qingque.

At this moment, the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion also rushed over, and they were shocked when they saw the situation.Seeing the injury on Deng Qi's face, he panicked even more, "Uncle Deng, Your Highness saw your injury, and we can't afford it." Deng Qi comforted them kindly, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. "

Zhang Hu smiled slightly, and took out a crystal clear glass vial from his arms and handed it to Deng Qi, "Wipe it, it's very good." Deng Qi smiled, "Is it green jade ointment? It's great." The green jade ointment comes from Western Regions, good-looking, has miraculous effects in treating trauma, and does not leave scars.However, there is no sale on the market, and there is no money to buy it.

The cool green jade ointment was applied to the cheeks, and Deng Qi felt a sense of comfort, "Thank you, Zhang Hu. I'm still rushing out of the city, and I will have a banquet to thank you another day. Please be sure to appreciate it."

While they were talking, a deputy commander of Zhongcheng Bingmasi hurried over with a few men.Although it is quiet here, the beggars are making a lot of noise, no, they have also recruited soldiers and horses.However, the Bingmasi people always come at such a good time: the fighting stopped, the thieves caught them, and they were responsible for tying up people very conscientiously.

The deputy commander, surnamed Tang and surnamed Ling, was very discerning. Seeing Deng Qi and Zhang Hu's identities, and four or five palace guards standing beside them, he kicked the beggar on the ground hard, "It won't be long!" Eye-catching! Uncle Deng is something you can offend?" Hao Mai waved his hand, "Tie him up!" The soldiers rushed up and tied him up neatly.After tying them up, Tang Ling followed Zhang Hu's instructions and sent them to Shuntian Mansion.

When Zhang Hu heard Deng Qi say that he was going out of the city to pick cherries for the blue sparrow, he looked at him with complicated eyes, "I'll accompany you, let's go back quickly." Deng Qi felt sorry, "How dare I trouble you for such a trivial matter. ?” Zhang Hu smiled, “I also want to eat cherries, Mr. Deng, please give me a few cherries to try.” Deng Qi laughed loudly, and got on his horse, “Let’s go!” Deng Qi and Zhang Hu were in front, Several guards followed closely, and went out of the city to Zhuangzi.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Deng Qi refused to use his hands to others, and went to pick it himself with great interest.Zhang Hu also accompanied him.The two chatted casually while picking cherries.

"I think there's something wrong with those beggars, they came here specifically for me."

"Yes, those are not ordinary beggars, everyone has kung fu, and their skills are not bad."

"Who did I offend?"

"No matter who you offend, in short, you can't go out without a guard."

"Don't you also have a guard?"

Zhang Hu was speechless.

Filling a beautiful small bamboo basket, Deng Qi smiled with satisfaction, "Niuniu definitely likes it." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly became very filial, "Wait, my mother also likes to eat. Also, Sister Ping, Ying My sister also likes to eat it." Zhong went to pick it again.

Zhang Hu asked for water to wash his hands, then sat idly by and watched.Deng Qi beckoned to him, but he just ignored him.

"Hey, you're not married yet, are you?" Deng Qi saw that there were not many ripe cherries to pick, so he decided not to pick them, and came to sit next to Zhang Hu.

A gust of wind blew by, and Zhang Hu raised his eyes against the wind, "Not yet."

Deng Qi scratched his head.Poor Sister Ping, who has been implicated by the Shen family, has become a big girl and has no husband's family.Speaking of which, Zhang Hu is really not a bad boy, his family background is impeccable, he himself is handsome and capable, he can be called an unborn general.

If Zhang Hu married Sister Ping...?Deng Qi was happy, and even a father would wake up from a dream.The Zhang family, that is the number one state government in the world, and no other family can catch up with it.

Sister Ping married Zhang Hu and later became a British princess.Brother Han married young Ayang, and the young couple was harmonious and beautiful, loving each other...Deng Qi began to daydream.

"When I was your age, I had several children." Deng Qi kindly reminded, "Zhang Hu, when a man reaches his age, he must marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line. This is inevitable."

"I know." Zhang Hu's voice was cold, as if the ice in winter had no warmth, "When you were my age, the little green sparrow was enjoying life in Yangji, as happy as a bird. "

Deng Qi lowered his head in shame, "Well, I always wanted to take Niuniu home, I wanted to love Niuniu, I wanted to be nice to her... I didn't want to throw Niuniu in Yangji, I really didn't. I wanted to take Niuniu back. Going home, I want Niuniu to have a home, to be loved by her elders, and to grow up carefree."

A trace of anger flashed in Zhang Hu's starry eyes, he couldn't bear to sit face to face with an idiot like Deng Qi, and stood up to leave.Deng Qi hurriedly got up and followed, "Wait for me, let's go together."

Riding out of the village and back to the city, Deng Qi stammered on the way, "Zhang Hu, may I tell you a little wife?" Zhang Hu glanced at him with a half-smile, "I don't care about this, my parents Whatever you say, I will do." With a grip on the horse's belly, he galloped away.

Who are you kidding!Deng Qi was angry.If your father and mother could be your family, they would have forced you to marry a wife and have children, okay? Who would want their son to grow up or be alone?Deng Qi shouted and chased after him.

"The imperial court should formulate a law. Men who do not marry when they are old, and women who do not marry when they are old, will be punished!" Deng Qi chased for a long time but did not catch up with Zhang Hu, thinking bitterly.

"Men, let's be 20. Women's youth is short, so it's fine. A man who doesn't marry at the age of [-], and a woman who doesn't marry at the age of [-], is a crime, and they will be imprisoned one by one!" That's right, drooping his head dejectedly.

When he arrived at the gate of King Jin's Mansion, Zhang Hu became very polite.Politely, he cupped his fists at Deng Qi, and said with gentle words, "Master Deng, I can only escort you here, and we will meet later."

Deng Qi invited him to sit in, Zhang Hu smiled and shook his head, "Your Highness didn't call, so it's inconvenient for foreign ministers to enter without permission." Deng Qi laughed, and the two parted politely.

When Zhang Hu arrived at a secluded place, he couldn't help but rein in the horse's head and looked back.Not far away, the towering and majestic buildings of King Jin's Mansion, in the afterglow of the setting sun, this mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, making it even more magnificent.Little Qingque, you are here, are you okay?
Deng Qi held a small bamboo basket and brought it to Qing Que as if offering a treasure, "Niu Niu, these cherries are sweet and sour, and taste very good." Qing Que smiled and praised Mimi, "Let's not talk about whether it is delicious , It looks really good-looking. Red and bright, as exquisite as an agate gemstone, I like people so much." Jin Wang also joked, "Well, I want to eat it just looking at it." Deng Qi was very proud.

Nanny Zhong took someone to wash the cherries herself, and served them in a crystal clear and beautiful lotus-leaf-shaped glass plate.The bright red cherries in the glass plate are still stained with water drops, so cute.

Deng Qi took the snow-white handkerchief, wiped off the water droplets on the cherries, and handed it to Qing Que, "Niu Niu, is it delicious?" Qing Que smiled happily, "It's so delicious!" King Jin watched for a while , I asked for a small plate and a knife, cut the cherry in half, removed the seed, and gave it to the blue sparrow.Qing Que couldn't help being moved, "You're so kind!" She looked at the fourth brother with watery eyes, with infinite affection.

Jin Wang pushed Deng Qi, "Hey, you go back, Qingque and I still have serious business to do." Deng Qi glared at him, "What's the serious business?" Although he said so, he really stood up to go.

After sending Deng Qi away, King Jin came back with glowing eyes, planning to do serious business with Qing Que.Grandma Zhong had such a wink, seeing that he was looking at the concubine affectionately, she led the people to leave quietly, leaving only the king and concubine Jin in the huge side hall.Sometimes they kiss each other, and sometimes they feed each other cherries, having a great time.

Deng Qi returned to Ningguo Gongfu, happily ran to the main courtyard, and announced the good news to his grandfather Ningguogong.Ning Guozheng wiped his waist knife with his own hands, and smiled when he heard this, "Niuniu is a lucky one." Deng Qi was very proud, "That is."

Ning Guogong slowly put away his waist knife and told Deng Qi, "Qi'er, Brother Yi is also sixteen or seventeen years old, and the marriage cannot be delayed. Your Grandpa Pei and I have known each other for decades, and I believe in the family tradition of the Pei family. , he only has one great-granddaughter, who only reached the age of Ji this year, and she is very cute."

The "Your Grandpa Pei" that Ning Guogong said was the governor, Pei Xian. He and Ning Guogong were former soldiers in the army, and they knew each other very well.The Pei family was loyal and kind, and Pei Xian also earned a hereditary family by virtue of his military exploits. His family's girl married Deng Ziyi, so he was considered a well-matched family.

Deng Qi hurriedly said: "If you say yes, it must be yes. I will go and talk to my mother and ask her central media to propose marriage." Ning Guogong nodded, "I took Brother Yi to Pei's house, and the two children met. Come face to face, no objection." Not only no objection, but also blushing, shameless.When Ning Guogong thought of this, his old heart suddenly softened.

Deng Qi was very happy, "That's really great!" It's not bad to be able to marry a girl he likes for his second son.

After explaining Deng Ziyi's marriage, Ning Guogong asked Deng Zhiping and Deng Zhihan again.Deng Qi scratched his head, "These two poor children have been implicated by the Shen family! Sister Ping doesn't have a good husband's family, and Brother Han was rejected because of the Shen family."

Ning Guogong snorted heavily.

Deng Qi suddenly remembered a serious matter, "Grandfather, what do you think of Zhang Hu? This kid is not young, but he is still alone. If you tell him about Sister Ping...?"

Deng Qi's voice fell, and Ning Guogong glared at him, "Are you awake? Niuniu was fostered in the British government when she was a child. How did Zhang Hu, a cold-faced Shura-like boy, play with her? Niuniu was in danger in the stone house, Zhang Hu How did you find it like crazy? You can tell Zhang Hu about Sister Ping, you can do it. If Zhang Hu is willing to marry a girl like Sister Ping, she will be married 800 years ago, why wait until now?"

Deng Qi was scolded and bowed his head in silence.
