Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 427

The grievances between Li Qinzai and the county magistrate of Jinxiang came out of nowhere.

Originally, it was just a casual acquaintance, and even resentment outweighed kindness, but this time Li Qinzai was imprisoned, Jin Xiang went back and forth for him, but Li Qinzai was puzzled, and the grievance between him and her became more and more confusing.

So Li Qinzai really wanted to ask her what kind of medicine she had taken wrongly, and she actually went to help for him.

His friendship with her isn't that good, is it?
Hastily came to the side hall of the front yard of the Duke's Mansion, but saw Cui Jie and Jin Xiang sitting in the room, arm in arm and chatting intimately.

Seeing Li Qinzai coming in, Cui Jie smiled and stood up to greet her: "Husband, the county master is here. After I heard that my husband was imprisoned, the county master is also running around for him."

Jin Xiang suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression, and said: "I... my father asked me to help after hearing about it. After all, my father owes Li Xianbo a kindness."

Li Qinzai suddenly realized: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Teng and the county magistrate for running for me. This kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I don't know how to repay it. If King Teng is imprisoned next time, I will definitely..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cui Jie quickly covered her mouth with her eyes and gave him a hard look, saying: "Husband is talking nonsense."

Speaking of this, Cui Jie forced a smile towards Jin Xiang: "My husband is still hungover and talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Jin Xiang glanced at him indifferently, and said: "I have already learned Li Xianbo's temperament. If I really got angry with him, I would have been mad at him."

Li Qinzai smacked his lips. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't have the same knowledge as a villain?

"Another day I will give the county master a piece of writing, "Don't Get Angry", recite it three times a day, cultivate one's morality and keep one's spirit alive." Li Qinzai's smile was very dry.

Jin Xiang looked him up and said, "I heard that Li Xianbo accepted two princesses as disciples?"

"Yes."

"The two princesses are born of Concubine Xiao Shu. She was once the queen's life-and-death enemy. Li Xianbo accepted them as disciples, isn't he afraid that the queen will be unhappy?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Empress should also be reasonable. The grievance between her and Concubine Xiao Shu is a matter of the previous generation. What is the matter with the two princesses? Since I have accepted them as disciples, as long as I don't die, I must keep them safe. "

The words he said with a smile were filled with firmness in his tone.

Jin Xiang's eyes were bright, and he took a deep look at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and it was inconvenient to express more emotions in front of Cui Jie, so he had to turn his head to one side.

"I deeply admire Li Xianbo's responsibility, but what should be guarded against is still to be guarded. You are Jie'er's husband. If you go to prison this time, Jie'er's sky will collapse. I don't want to see Jie'er alone. I wash my face with tears."

Li Qinzai was moved in his heart, looked sideways at Cui Jie affectionately, and said: "If my husband is killed by someone in the future, it doesn't matter if you stay a widow or not. The important thing is to burn the money for me. Pay me the money on time every month. Never forget it. If you forget, I will come up to ask for salary in person, and we will not be very happy at that time."

Both Cui Jie and Jin Xiang were stunned, and then Cui Jie was furious, and regardless of Jin Xiang's presence, she used a set of nine-yin white bone claws on Li Qinzai, scratching and pinching.

"It's not too bad for my husband to say stupid things! How can I curse myself!"

Seeing Li Qinzai's pained look, Jin Xiang was extremely relieved, and couldn't help saying, "Yes!"

Li Qinzai grinned and said, "My wife is having a seizure, which made the county master laugh."

Jin Xiang rolled his eyes at him, and said: "I haven't finished what I said just now... The case of disgusting victory has passed, but it is not a past for Li Xianbo. The current queen is quite powerful. Li Xianbo had better think of a way." Relax the relationship with the queen, otherwise there is no guarantee that there will be no disaster."

Li Qinzai hummed perfunctorily, raised his head inadvertently, but caught the flash of worry in Jin Xiang's eyes.

Li Qinzai couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, his eyes... seemed to have some other meaning.

Is she really interested in herself?Haven't I always been a fraud in her mind?Is this all a lie?
Cui Jie didn't suspect him, she held her arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Rui'er came to visit today, did you specially come to remind my husband?"

Jin Xiang's pretty face blushed, but she said arrogantly: "I don't have that kind of leisure, but I just mentioned it casually. I heard that you are going back to Ganjingzhuang tomorrow, so I came to meet you. You are Mr. Li Xianbo. Husband and godson, I don’t know when I will see you next time.”

Cui Jie shook her arm and said, "You have nothing to do in Chang'an, why don't you come with me to stay in Ganjingzhuang for a while..."

Jin Xiang bit his lower lip, and said, "No, I still have to stay in Chang'an City to handle some chores for my father, and I will visit you when I have free time, you guys... Take care."

He said take care, but Jin Xiang couldn't help but glanced at Li Qinzai with his beautiful eyes. The deep nostalgia and infatuation in those eyes were like a thick fog covering the sky.

…………

After packing their luggage, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie finally left Chang'an City on the road.

After bidding farewell to Li Ji, the family of three got into the carriage, and Li Sujie and the two princesses sat in the other carriage.

It was already sunset when we returned to Ganjingzhuang. Li Qinzai took a deep breath, smelling the familiar smell of cooking smoke.

Returning to this rural village from the stormy Chang'an City, Li Qinzai felt very comfortable from the bottom of his heart. When the carriage drove into the village entrance, his heart was filled with peace and tranquility.

The autumn harvest is about to come, and the farmers are clearing up the open space in front of their houses for drying grain. Although this year's harvest is definitely not as good as in previous years, the host family waived the rent for the farmers, and arranged for the young and strong laborers in the village to dig ditches and repair the warehouse. Farmers don't have to worry about starving the whole family.

Seeing the Li family's trilogy and the carriage entering the village, the householders stepped aside one after another. Li Qinzai couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he ordered to stop immediately. He jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the other courtyard, greeting the householders warmly along the way.

Inside the carriage, Qiao'er was puzzled and said, "Why did Dad get out of the carriage and walk? We will be home soon."

Cui Jie put her arms around Qiao'er, smiled lightly and said, "Sitting in the carriage will inevitably make you feel domineering, your father just got out of the carriage and walked on foot, so as not to make the farmers feel uncomfortable, you must know that your father has a title, and according to the rules and regulations In the land, all the farmers have to salute, but your father doesn't like it, so he got off the car."

Qiao'er came to a sudden: "It's like the children in the village always call me 'Little Mister'. Although they respect me, I'm also afraid that they won't play with me because of my identity..."

Cui Jie smiled and said: "That's right, that's the truth. Your father doesn't want the householders to share with him, Qiao'er, when you grow up, no matter how noble your status is, don't act like you are superior to the poor people." , That's really annoying. Give them more respect, and they will get more help when they are in trouble."

Pointing to Li Qinzai who was walking slowly outside the carriage, Cui Jie smiled and said, "Your father is your role model."

Qiao'er nodded with a half understanding.

Then Qiao'er suddenly broke away from Cui Jie's hand, jumped out of the carriage, followed Li Qinzai a few steps, put her little hand in Li Qinzai's palm, and walked with him.

Li Qinzai was startled, seeing Qiao'er earnestly greeting the farmers, he couldn't help laughing.

The father and son held hands, bathed in the golden sunset, and the shadows behind them stretched infinitely and merged.
