Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 820
The father-in-law came from Chang'an, and Li Qinzai had to receive him solemnly.

At noon, before King Teng's car arrived, Li Qinzai and Jin Xiang were standing at the entrance of the village to greet him.

The guard of honor of the county marquis was also displayed at the entrance of the village. Although it was incomparable with the ostentation of the feudal prince, his attitude was more important than anything else.

More than two hundred members of the Li family dressed in brand-new leather armor, holding knives and halberds, lined up at the entrance of the village in the shape of a wild goose.

I'm afraid you have never greeted him so grandly today, have you?

Embarrassed by the gazes of the farmers, Jin Xiang tugged at Li Qinzai's sleeve and said softly, "Husband, isn't this ostentation... a little too much?"

"However, not at all." Li Qinzai said solemnly: "Madam's father came in person, maybe he was still full of anger. If I neglected a little bit, it would be a fight between husband and son-in-law, and that would be too rude."

"Sister-in-law Weng... fight each other?" Jin Xiang's eyes widened, and then he was so angry that he punched him with a whole set of gangster excited punches: "You, you are a traitor!"

Li Qinzai resisted and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to tell me about this, I have to persuade your father not to be so irritable."

Jin Xiang stopped, and said angrily, "Didn't my father recognize you as a son-in-law a long time ago?"

"Admitting is admitting. After all, I still feel uncomfortable. It's like making a loss-making business. Although the deal has already been done and it's too late to go back on it, it doesn't delay him from slapping himself."

Just as he was talking, a group of people and horses came slowly on the road at the end of the village. The leading guard carried the banner of King Teng, followed by hundreds of guards and a luxurious carriage.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, Li Qinzai and Jin Xiang greeted him.

King Teng was helped out of the carriage, but he didn't even look at Li Qinzai, completely ignoring him.After seeing Jin Xiang, she couldn't help showing a look of pity: "My dear daughter, she's been so thin for a few days after being married..."

Li Qinzai: "..."

Your daughter eats big fish and big meat in different ways every day. Which eye of yours sees your daughter lose weight?

Jin Xiang caressed his cheek, and said, "Father, my daughter is not thin, but she is a little bit fatter."

King Teng said stubbornly: "No, you've lost weight. Is it because the Li family's food is not to your liking? Or is that bastard Li Qinzai not giving you food?"

Li Qinzai couldn't help but said: "My father-in-law, this is too much..."

King Teng was taken aback, and looked around blankly: "Who? Who is talking? Is it haunted in broad daylight?"

Li Qinzai: "..."

You should be really lucky that you are my father-in-law, otherwise you would have to carry out Zhuangzi sideways today.

Teng Wang was so good at acting, Jin Xiang tugged him, and said angrily, "Father..."

King Teng snorted, but still turned a blind eye to Li Qinzai.

"My king is ordered to come to Ganjingzhuang to monitor the preservation of sweet potatoes, and allocate some funds to Qiongzhou in the south of Lingnan. This year, the temperature in the south is still good, so we can hurry up and plant another season."

King Teng didn't look at Li Qinzai when he spoke, as if speaking to the air.

Li Qinzai didn't say anything, Jinxiang smiled and smoothed things over: "Since the father is on official business, let's go back to the mansion first, you can discuss with your husband."

King Teng snorted, and said, "What's the matter with your husband? Why did you come to greet me? Don't you say that you are my good son-in-law? Doesn't the good son-in-law have such courtesy?"

Jin Xiang looked at Li Qinzai next to him in amazement, his father's acting skills... did he really not see his husband?
Li Qinzai finally couldn't bear it anymore, did you show me some shame?

"Come on, smash King Teng's carriage!" Li Qinzai ordered brazenly.

More than two hundred pieces of the Li family's trilogy echoed in unison.

King Teng trembled in fright, and shouted sharply: "Li Qinzai, how dare you!"

"Okay, let's not smash it!" Li Qinzai waved his hand to order Bu Qu to step back, and then looked at King Teng with a smile: "My son-in-law pays his respects to my father-in-law, have you finally seen me this time?"

King Teng snorted resentfully, and said, "How could this king not see such a big living person standing in front of him?"

Li Qinzai saluted happily: "My father-in-law is here in person, and he is full of splendor. Please go back to the humble house for a while."

When everyone came to the other courtyard, Li Qinzai ordered a banquet as usual.

The other courtyard did not keep kabuki, so for King Teng, the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit dull.

During the dinner, Cui Jie came out to meet King Teng as a junior.

Seeing Cui Jie's big belly, King Teng sighed and murmured, "What a crime."

Then I looked at Jinxiang again.

Although the mood is a bit complicated, it is a fact that his daughter married Li Qinzai. Now that his wife is pregnant, King Teng has to worry about his daughter.

In this day and age, when a woman marries into her husband's family, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine. If she has no descendants, her position will not be stable after all.

When Jinxiang married Li Qinzai back then, the city was full of disturbances. If one day Jinxiang was divorced by Li Qinzai because he had no descendants, the face of Prince Teng's mansion would be thrown on the ground and could not be picked up for generations.

"You two... Hurry up and have a baby sooner." After drinking, Teng Wang said earnestly.

Li Qinzai nodded cheerfully: "My son-in-law must work overtime and work hard day and night, trying to get your daughter pregnant this year."

King Teng hummed, and said with an uncomfortable expression: "You don't have to, uh, you don't have to work too hard, your body is important."

"A combination of work and rest, a combination of work and rest, the father-in-law can rest assured."

Jin Xiang was blushing from the sidelines, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Father, husband, what are you talking about!" Jin Xiang blushed and said angrily.

King Teng grinned: "I'm still embarrassed, what about the vigor when I wanted to marry this bastard? Now I'm shy, heh."

Cui Jie seemed to see King Teng's worry from the side, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, my concubine and Qianyuan are like sisters, and she and I grew up together since childhood, no matter whether she is pregnant or not, in the Li family Are you still afraid that I will bully her?"

King Teng smiled sheepishly, and muttered in a low voice: "That's not good. A woman married into her husband's family. What kind of sisters are deeply in love? Just talk about it. Aren't the few worry-free people in the palace just talking about it?" Is that so..."

Cui Jie smiled and said: "Your daughter is the daughter of the clan of the vassal king, how dare I bully her when I grow up."

King Teng snorted, "You're not bad either. The Cui family in Qingzhou is such a powerful family that I can't afford to provoke you. The two girls are pretty good. Why did they all fall in love with this little bastard? What's so good about him... ..."

Li Qinzai couldn't help but interjected: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law has many advantages..."

King Teng glanced at him: "Your only advantage is that you have a thick skin. This king is in your hands. I heard that the money for the construction of the Tengwang Pavilion has not yet been allocated. Hurry up, don't wait for this king to urge you."

Li Qinzai looked bitter, and sighed: "My son-in-law, hurry up, this is not a small sum, and I will wait for my son-in-law to turn around."

Seeing Li Qinzai's bitter expression, Jin Xiang felt pain in his heart. He tugged at Prince Teng's sleeve and said softly, "Father, the Pavilion of Prince Teng costs a lot of money, and your husband is inconvenient. How about... how about waiting a few more years?"

King Teng's tiger body shook, and he screamed sharply: "No! The King's Tengwang Pavilion is just waiting to start construction. The craftsmen have been hired, and there is no money? If you sell this bastard, you have to get it out!"
