Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 643
The gift box is full of good things, basically precious minerals.

All kinds of gems, all kinds of gold jewelry, in short, it's all money.

Jin Xiang didn't bother to talk about etiquette, and opened the gift boxes one by one in front of Li Qinzai. Every time he opened one, his expression became more happy. He didn't know whether he was happy to receive the gift, or just happy because Li Qinzai was slaughtered.

Li Qinzai's expression became more and more bitter. The contemporary masters of mathematics couldn't bear to calculate the value of this pile of gift boxes, so they could only beat his wife after returning home. If he didn't unlock a few embarrassing poses tonight, it would be hard to get over it. .

"After all, he is the one who has been sealed as a marquis. You are really generous. Thank you Marquis Li." Jin Xiang happily unwrapped the gift box while stabbing the knife with a smile.

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "When will your father return to Chang'an?"

"Why do you ask my father so well?"

"It's nothing, I just miss him a little..."

Li Qinzai smacked his lips. He really missed His Royal Highness Teng Wang. He missed his generosity, his handsomeness and wealth, and his very easy-going way of spending money like water. The moment he gave him money, his whole body was full of Taoism, which was very holy.

Jin Xiang glared at him angrily, and said, "Father won't return until a while later. I heard that the roads in Bingzhou are almost finished. More than [-] laborers have been employed locally. In just half a year, the roads have been repaired to a certain extent. That’s it, my father wrote a letter saying that thanks to his day and night supervision, the imperial court will definitely give him a great credit..."

Li Qinzai smiled: "He praised himself so much, do you believe it?"

"Why don't you believe me? My father really worked very hard. He said in the letter that the hardships in this life are not as good as those in the past six months. He doesn't have the pomp of a feudal king at all on the construction site, and his food and accommodation are very simple... "

Li Qinzai was surprised and said, "Your father eats and lives with the laborers? This is amazing."

Jin Xiang's pretty face was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's not so difficult, the food and lodging of the father is still much better than that of the laborers, but it is much more difficult than the extravagant life back then."

Li Qinzai nodded in understanding.

It must have been the best effort in his life for the old dandy to be able to work so hard. It's not easy.

Jin Xiang stared at him, with a little smile in his eyes: "You seem to be different from when you came back from the mission to the northwest."

"What's the difference?"

Jin Xiangqiao blushed, lowered his head and smiled and said, "It seems to have more flavor than before...."

Li Qinzai sighed dejectedly, and murmured: "I have long felt that something is wrong. The mutton from Tuyuhun is indeed stronger than the smell from Guanzhong. After returning to Chang'an for so many days, it still hasn't disappeared..."

It's not perfect, sorry.

Jin Xiang looked at him in astonishment, not understanding why this man's brain circuit was so weird.

"Jie'er...how is she doing recently?" Jin Xiang asked suddenly.

Li Qinzai frowned: "Your question is a bit dangerous... What do you mean? What did my mother-in-law do behind my back these days after I left Chang'an? Otherwise, why would you ask such a question?"

Jin Xiang was stunned by his brain circuit again, stunned for a while, and said angrily: "You are really...you bastard, can't you change your temper for the rest of your life?"

Glancing at him fiercely, Jin Xiang said: "What I want to ask is that Jie'er seems to be different from before. She...now she doesn't seem to mind my contact with you."

"Has she ever minded before?"

Jin Xiang snorted: "Before she found out that I was treating you...huh! Since then, she guarded me like a thief, and almost broke up with me."

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue: "Look at your fragile friendship, plastic girlfriends are so emotional."

"What is plastic?"

"Don't ask, you can't make it even if you ask."

Jin Xiang pouted, and said again: "After you returned to Chang'an, Jie'er suddenly became friendly to me, and took the initiative to call me to the Duke's Mansion, and today I feel relieved to let you come alone to give me gifts, so I want to know , Jie'er...what on earth is she thinking?"

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses.

Yes, Cui Jie seems to be different these days.After knowing the story between him and Zi Nu, she didn't get jealous and lost her temper. She even took the initiative to ask him to give Jin Xiang a gift today, obviously she didn't mind him being alone with Jin Xiang...

The changes have been great. To be precise, the pattern has become larger and the road has become wider and wider.

"Has Jie'er been bewitched?" Li Qinzai asked suddenly.

Jin Xiang said angrily, "I've fallen under your spell! My own wife doesn't even say a word of kindness."

"What do you think happened to her recently?"

"Jie'er doesn't mind if you hang out with other women, wouldn't it be more in line with your wishes?"

Li Qinzai said quietly: "Only women who don't love themselves don't mind men dating other women, so love will disappear, right?"

Jin Xiang smiled angrily: "Your brain is really... You and Jie'er are both from high-end families. Have you ever seen a man from a high-level family who only married one wife in his life?"

Li Qinzai just wanted to talk about his father, but when he thought that his father had just taken back a concubine's room recently, he was not clean anymore.

Jin Xiang said leisurely: "You were born in the Duke's mansion, and Jie'er was born in a noble family. In the past, you were only a noble and county uncle, and you could only be regarded as an idle official. And you have no ambitions. Naturally, Jie'er is willing to be monogamous with you." Xiang Ning grows old."

"But this time you came back from the mission to the northwest, and you have made great contributions. Not only is it the Marquis of Jinxian County, but your reputation is shocking all over the world. Your Majesty also pays more and more attention to you. In the future, you will definitely become a general and become a prime minister."

"The more prominent the official title and the higher the status, Jie'er understands that it is more impossible for her to own you alone. The higher the position of a man, the more he needs help from all directions. Whether it is marriage or concubine, as long as it can help you If she has a firm foothold in the court, she must agree."

Jin Xiang said deeply: "Jie'er's compromise is all for your future. There is no woman in the world who understands the general situation, but she is just voluntarily sacrificing herself to fulfill the other half."

Li Qinzai stared at her, and suddenly said, "What about you?"

"What am I?"

"Jie'er compromised for me, what do you think?"

Jin Xiang finally understood, his expression flustered immediately, he smoothed his haircut as a cover, and said with a blushing face, "What can I think about, what do you have to do with your husband and wife?"

Thinking back to the times when he was in crisis, Jin Xiang kept silently taking advantage of King Teng's favor and ran silently to save him.

Li Qinzai couldn't help but secretly sighed, the woman in front of him was also a stupid woman, and all the women he knew seemed to be stupid.

He reached out suddenly and grabbed Jin Xiang's hand.

Jin Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly broke free. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't get out. Jin Xiang blushed and stared at him angrily: "Let go!"

Li Qinzai smiled, sometimes bravely facing his own feelings, he just needs to reach out and hold her, it's that simple.

Jin Xiang's little hands were cold, soft and cool, trembling slightly when held in them.

Jin Xiang struggled for a long time, but in the end he seemed to have lost all strength, so he simply stopped struggling and let his own hand be held in his.

Looking up, the tears in the eyes are full of tears, crystal clear.

"Li Qinzai, have you made up your mind? Once you hold my hand, you are not allowed to let go. You can't let go even when there is a thunderbolt."
