Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 882 Hongbi
Others take the scientific examination for the sake of fame and wealth, but Xuancheng is different.

She did it to prove herself, and also to make her father look at her more.

Born in an emperor's family, family affection is more extravagant than gold, jewels and jade. Seriously speaking, every prince and princess lacks family affection. They are well-clothed and well-fed, and their followers are like clouds, but their hearts are a desert.

Xuancheng works very hard, and she often wonders, if she is very good, better than other princes and princesses, will her father be less indifferent to her?
No. 5, the second-class Jinshi, is a remarkable achievement, and it is very shocking for a pampered princess.

After Li Qinzai reported her results with a smile, Xuancheng opened his eyes wide and looked at him fixedly. After a long time, two big teardrops slowly flowed down, and then the tears couldn't stop falling down.

Li Qinzai sighed, he knew what Xuancheng cared about, not the rankings, not the grades.

"When the rankings were released today, your grades had already been sent to the Taiji Palace. Your father was very happy, and he called a song and dance banquet to congratulate him. He drank a lot of wine. Xuancheng, he is proud of you. You are his father." pride." Li Qinzai said softly.

Xuancheng cried bitterly.

The mournful cry reverberated in the classroom, as if paying homage to what he had been asking for for many years.

Li Qinzai sat down opposite her and quietly accompanied her.

Li Qinzai became a little irritable, considering whether to go back to Chang'an City just because of these two words, he grabbed Li Ji's beard and asked him viciously, are you provoking my IQ?
Unable to imagine the consequences, Li Qinzai could only think about it in his mind, and soon gave up this plan to die.

Back in the bedroom in the backyard, Cui Jie wrapped a white scarf around her head and was confinement on the bed. The baby in her arms was sipping milk with her eyes closed, and her small nose made syllables like um, ah, ah, looking very happy.

"It's ugly to cry," Li Qinzai corrected, "Except for the moment when I blow the snot bubble, I am surprised, I admit that I am betting on how big the snot bubble can blow..."

It's so comfortable, Li Qinzai prefers the calm now compared to the violent storms of the previous days.

Wouldn't it be nice to quietly enjoy the days without worrying about food and clothing?

There is no shortage of food and clothing, so why fight to the death?

Some people are naturally aggressive and like to gain fame and fortune in chaos and strife, but Li Qinzai is naturally quiet and has nothing to do with status and rank.

"Oh, it's nothing. The main reason is that you are too ugly when you cry. I really can't stand it. You should smile more. You look good when you smile."

Xuancheng blushed, reached into his arms in embarrassment, and returned the towel that he had secretly hidden just now.

"Okay, now you can run as much as you want. Remember to run to the east of Zhuangzi. Don't make a mistake. There is a farmer at the west end who has a vicious dog. It is very fierce. Last time there was a bastard surnamed Wu who did not want to be named. Just ran the wrong way and was chased by the dogs of the whole village for a whole night, tsk!"

The only thing in this life that can make Li Qinzai feel aggressive is that he and his wife and children are short of food and clothing, and the man's responsibility to the family is severely challenged.

Li Qinzai didn't care that the towel was covered with her tears and snot, so he stuffed it into his arms and let go.

Li Qinzai also smiled: "Life has to go on, I cried a few times when I felt uncomfortable, wiped away my tears and continued on the road after crying."

There is a lot of suffering in the world, and these sufferings are often imposed on innocent people without reason.

…………

"Thank you for your explanation, sir, the disciple lost his composure just now." Xuan Cheng got up and saluted.

Although Li Qinzai was promising, he was still only a junior in the family, and he was not even qualified to name his own son. There were a lot of elders ahead of him.

Li Qinzai stayed with her quietly for a long time, until Xuancheng gradually vented his distress and his crying was intermittent, then Li Qinzai took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her.

The word "Hongbi" is a bit esoteric, and Li Qinzai didn't quite understand it. As a highly respected and talented gentleman in Ganjing Zhuang, he was embarrassed to ask others for advice, but Li Ji's personal letter only contained these two words, without any explanation or allusion.

Xuancheng let out a snort, and suddenly blew out two big snot bubbles. Finally, the crying stopped, and he raised his eyes and stared at him cautiously and dissatisfied.

"Oh! You... are going to die!" Xuancheng was so ashamed, he hid his face and ran out of the door.

The days seem to have returned to calm, and Li Qinzai resumed his peaceful life of teaching every day, fishing, and spending time with his wife and children, enjoying himself in the tranquility.

"You are so ugly when you cry, with a lot of snot and tears. If those bastards in the school who have a crush on you see you at this moment, all their unscrupulous thoughts will be wiped out."

Li Qinzai quickly grabbed her by the collar and carried her back.

I went into the study and looked through various books, but I couldn't find an explanation for the word Hongbi.

"Receive your emotions first, and run away in shame later. Return my handkerchief first. It's enough to comfort you. Why do you want to follow my handkerchief?"

After seeing Li Qinzai, the knight handed him a letter written by Li Ji, with only two words written on it, "Hongbi".

"Run, sister."

"This knowledge can be regarded as a small lesson taught to you by the master. After all, the master always prefers smart and diligent students."

What are you doing!

After a glance, Li Qinzai understood that this was the name Li Ji gave his newborn great-grandson.

"Xuancheng, in the knowledge of Gewu, there is a law of conservation of mass, that is to say, God will silently record the sufferings that everyone endures in their lives, and will repay you with another kind of blessing in the future..."

Xuancheng wiped away his tears, and handed back Li Qinzai's handkerchief, but halfway through the handkerchief, he suddenly withdrew his hand and put the handkerchief into his arms as if nothing had happened.

"From birth to death, everyone's suffering and blessings are equal. You have suffered all the sufferings, and then you wait for the blessings to be added, and you can live your life smoothly. This is called 'conservation' law'."

In the afternoon of the next day, a fast horse arrived at Ganjing Village. The knight came from the Chang'an Duke's Mansion.

Xuancheng subconsciously covered his face, and said in embarrassment: "Is this disciple really ugly?"

Li Ji took the honor of naming his great-grandson without hesitation.

There may be no other way but to cry.

Li Qinzai came in, but Cui Jie didn't even look at him, she just lowered her head and stared at the nursing baby with tender eyes.

Tsk, I forgot my husband when I had a son, and I don't even think about where the baby would come from if the husband didn't work hard at the beginning?

Sitting down beside Cui Jie, Li Qinzai reached out and pinched the baby's tender cheeks, and the baby frowned in dissatisfaction.

"How dare you not be happy, believe it or not, I will ask you to dance while hearing the chicken tomorrow, and recite the nine-nine multiplication table by the way?" Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows.

Cui Jie gave him a blank look: "My husband is getting more and more promising, and even the newborn baby cares about him."
