Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 629 Family affairs, state affairs, children and grandchildren affairs

Li Ji was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is very old and basically in retirement.

There is no retirement system in the imperial court. With Li Ji's reputation and status, even if he becomes an official, Li Zhi will definitely not agree. How can such a powerful nuclear bomb allow him to retire?
A retired veteran cadre, most of his children and grandchildren are officials outside, his life is actually very lonely.

More than once, Li Qinzai saw Li Ji squatting in the yard outside the study, muttering to the beloved peony alone.

When a hero grows old and loses his edge, he is no different from other ordinary old men.

Perhaps, only when he puts on the armor and stands in front of thousands of horses and horses, will his famous sharp sword be pulled out from the worn-out scabbard, emitting a dazzling light.

Among the many descendants of the Li family, only Li Qinzai spends more time with Li Ji. Li Qinzai is a salty fish, and Li Ji is also a retired old man.

"Your father probably won't return to Runzhou after the Chinese New Year." Li Ji said, stroking his white beard.

Li Qinzai was taken aback: "Is my father going to be transferred?"

Li Ji hummed, and said: "Maybe he will be transferred to the Sixth Ministry. First, your father has served as the governor of Runzhou for more than four years, and his qualifications are almost accumulated. Second, heh, it can be regarded as your honor as a son." .”

"The great achievement of the mission to Tuyuhun, the strategic significance of including it in the territory is too great. Your Majesty's promotion to the county is not enough to reward, so I plan to hide your parents. Your father has entrusted you with blessings. Now that he is an official in the capital, he will probably serve as a servant in the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Officials."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Congratulations to grandpa too, this time our family has all children and grandchildren, and we can honor you by your side."

Li Ji poohed: "If your children and grandchildren are like you, I might as well live alone. You said that you have harmed many peonies of this old man. I hope you will go to the northwest with so much difficulty. Your son will be fine, and he will simply uproot the old man's peonies. Old man It was not so cruel to order the army to massacre the city back then."

Li Qinzai laughed and said, "We're all one family, don't talk about the two families. Tomorrow, my grandson will plant peonies in your yard, so that you can feel the satisfaction of having a room full of embroidered mothers."

Li Ji scolded with a smile: "Get out! Among the unworthy descendants of the Li family, you are the most unworthy. Not to mention causing trouble outside, you come to harm the old man when you come home. You are born to collect debts."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long while, and Li Qinzai said goodbye.

Regarding Li Siwen's taking a concubine, Li Qinzai is inconvenient to say more. Although Li Ji is the patriarch of the family, Li Qinzai doesn't need to bother him with this trivial matter, and even Li Qinzai himself doesn't want to interfere.

As long as the old lady has no objection, Li Qinzai will turn a blind eye. Everyone understands what a man thinks.

If one day the old lady is upset, there is no need for Li Qinzai to interfere. With the old lady's lion roar skills, Li Siwen will probably take the initiative to throw that concubine into the well.

Exiting the study, Li Qinzai glanced casually and saw Li Ji sitting on the futon in a daze, staring at the wall in a daze.

Li Qinzai suddenly realized that Li Ji was very old.

According to the progress of history, his lifespan has only a few years left, a generation of famous generals no longer shines, no matter how dazzling the light of half a lifetime is, it will eventually be lost in the long river of history.

However, history is history and family is family.

After reading Qingshi, you might as well cover the book with a sigh, and then continue to live your own life, but what about your family?There is more than a sigh after losing.

His steps stopped suddenly, Li Qinzai turned to look at Li Ji, and said, "Grandpa, don't stay in the study all day long, you should go out and walk around more."

Li Ji was stunned, and said with a smile: "Being a magistrate, the more courageous you become, you dare to teach me a lesson?"

"Grandpa, grandson, to be honest, you should change to a younger life and increase your longevity. Such a big family is all pointing at you. You are the Dinghaishenzhen of our Li family, but you have to live longer. See for yourself that our family business is getting more and more prosperous."

Li Ji laughed, and said: "What I should do in this life, and the fame and fortune I should earn for my family, is enough. The next thing is to see if you juniors can live up to it. Anyway, after a few years, I will kick my legs and close my eyes. I will not be ashamed to see my ancestors."

Li Qinzai said earnestly: "The grandson will make the family business more and more prosperous. With me in the Li family, it will last for a hundred years."

Li Ji said gratifiedly: "Hearing this sentence cheers me up, haha, many years ago Li Chunfeng made a divination to the old man, and the divination said that since the old man, the Li family has become more and more declining. After three generations, the world has never heard of it."

"Now that you have suddenly become promising, you have gained an inexplicable ability. If the old man is destined to meet Li Chunfeng again, I would like to ask him to make another divination to calculate the situation of my Li family. There will be changes."

Li Qinzai said anxiously: "Speaking of family status...Grandpa, you didn't do anything that angered people back then, did you?"

Anticipating that there would be nothing good about this guy, Li Ji used his internal strength secretly, and said calmly, "What do you mean?"

Li Qinzai said anxiously: "Retribution is something you have to believe in. You see, both you and my grandson have worked hard to make our family prosperous and prosperous, but if you did something that angered others back then, it would be bad." gone."

"Grandson was concentrating on strengthening the family business, but there was a crack, thunder, and this sky-high cultivation level fell into the purple gold hammer..."

Li Ji:? ? ?
"The five thunderbolts wiped out our family, my grandson is wronged. Grandpa, to be honest, you didn't spoil a girl from a good family when you were fighting abroad, did you?"

Li Ji was so angry that his beard stood up: "Nieve, are you going to piss me off?"

"You are anxious, anxious! Are you guilty? Are you out of breath?"

When Li Ji looked around, Li Qinzai knew that he should evacuate, and if he didn't evacuate, he should call a doctor for rescue.

So Li Qinzai swished out of the study door, and ran away amidst Li Ji's angry curses.

…………

The life of a retired veteran cadre needs to be stimulated occasionally. It is not good to be calm all the time. How good it is to roar angrily, jump and curse, the blood is surging, and the old face is a few years younger.

Back in his yard, Li Qinzai called the housekeeper and told him to find some valuable wood, such as agarwood, red sandalwood and so on.

The butler was very efficient, and found a bunch of them within half an hour.

Li Ji fought for half his life, and while earning fame, he also made a lot of money. None of the old killers in Datang had a clean bottom, and they all made a lot of money.

Li Qinzai's need for precious wood is nothing at all, there are a lot of them in the mansion.

After finding the wood, Li Qinzai closed the door and began to work with tools such as files, carving knives, and chisels.

Halfway through the work, the butler came to report again that there was a visitor.

"No see! Say I'm dead, and I'll come back tomorrow to express my condolences." Li Qinzai shouted impatiently outside without even opening the door.

There was a chuckle from outside the door.

Li Sujie's voice echoed outside the door: "Sir, it's unlucky for Mo to keep cursing himself."

Li Qinzai was taken aback, had to put down what he was doing, and opened the door.

In the courtyard outside the door, Li Sujie, Li Xian, Qi Bizhen and other students were standing outside respectfully, smiling at Li Qinzai, and seeing Li Qinzai coming out, everyone saluted.

"Disciple Congratulations, Mr. Juejin County Marquis, with great achievements and fame."

Li Qinzai said with a sullen face, "They all came empty-handed?"

Everyone was stunned, Li Sujie hurriedly said: "I brought a gift and handed it over to your housekeeper."

Li Qinzai's gloomy face suddenly became sunny, and he was filled with enthusiasm in an instant, and he waved affectionately to everyone.

"It's cold outside, but it's warm inside. Why do you and I, teachers and students, have to be so different? When you come to Mr.'s house, please feel at home."
