A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 344 Qin Qiong Li Jing
After recuperating in Bailuyuan for more than a year, Qin Qiong's body has recovered a lot. The emperor has always hoped that Qin Qiong will return to the court as soon as possible, but Qin Qiong seems to have gotten used to this kind of idle life.

Back in Chang'an this time, Qin Qiong didn't go out very often, even if there were many guests who came to visit, he rarely saw them, and only occasionally met with some old guys.

Li Jing came to visit today, and Qin Qiong didn't want to see him at first.

Qin Qiong and Li Jing have no past personal friendship, and it can even be said that there is not much intersection. One is a military aristocrat in Guanlong, and the other is a military upstart in Shandong.

They had never even fought side by side on a battlefield before.

"The little one said that Alang was unwell." The steward said seeing Qin Qiong's appearance.

"Forget it, the pharmacist does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it must be because of Huaiyu, I will go to greet him in person." Qin Qiong recuperates in Bailuyuan, but only asks about the government affairs of the court, but still communicates with Wu Huaiyu from time to time. We not only talked about physical recuperation, but of course we also talked about Huaiyu.

Qin Qiong was also aware of the matter between Wu Huaiyu and Li Sanniang, Wu Huaiyu resolutely refused to accept Li Sanniang's idea, Qin Qiong even admired it very much.

But no matter what, it's not pretty after all.

Li Jing is still Huaiyu's teacher, and he doesn't want the two of them to be embarrassed when they meet again.

When they went to the gate to welcome Li Jing into the mansion, the front hall chatted and talked about the past, the two fell down in the garden of the Duke of Qi's mansion and chatted while walking, and even went to the stables of the Duke of Qi's mansion, commenting on Qin Qiong's good horses.

Li Jing felt a little depressed, and the words came to his lips several times, but he didn't know how to bring them up.

"Erlang should have returned to Beijing in the past few days, right?"

"Well, according to what he said in his letter, he should be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow."

The two turned around and returned to the living room.

Cook wine around the stove.

The winter wine made from high-quality glutinous rice is heated on the stove and sieved. A bowl of yellow winter wine is served with several side dishes to accompany the wine.

Take a sip of hot wine, it's warm.

"These peanuts are quite good to drink with, just like the broad beans that we often eat, but they have a special taste."

"Well, this is also grown in Huaiyu's home. The seeds of corn, potatoes, and peppers are imported from overseas. These peanuts are also called groundnuts. After the flowers fall, the flower stems burrow into the soil and bear fruit. The fruits grow in the soil. It is miraculous. It can be eaten raw or dried, or boiled and fried. It can be used as a vegetable and squeezed oil.

And it is very nutritious, so it has many reputations such as longevity fruit, fallen flower ginseng, and longevity fruit. "

Qin Qiong told Li Jing that he now eats twenty raw peanuts every morning, and drinks a glass of water soaked in peanut kernels every day.

Li Jing also smiled and said, "The overseas seeds collected by Master Huaiyu are indeed auspicious, such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. This year, the imperial court Sinong Temple and Gong Youjian have planted a lot, and the yield is indeed quite high. "

In fact, this year Li Jing's family also planted a batch on several villages, and the seeds were all sent by the Wu family. These things are indeed good things.

"Huaiyu is a very good young man. He is young and talented, and he needs to be good-looking and talented. Now he has achieved fame." Li Jing sighed, "My Sanniang is completely out of control now. Blame Erlang, only blame Sanniang," he said helplessly to Qin Qiong, "this girl is so stubborn now, I thought she would go to Zhongnan Mountain for a year and a half to get over it, but when I came back this time, I found that it was still true and pregnant. Yu is going home soon, and I don't know what to do now."

Qin Qiong looked at the grey-haired Li Jing, who was almost sixty, and couldn't bear the embarrassment at this moment.

He refilled Li Jing's wine, "We still have to blame Huaiyu for this matter, this kid didn't know how to keep a good distance in the first place, so he made such a thing."

"I think Sanniang is also straightforward. She is a good girl. I like her very much. How about I adopt her as a righteous daughter, and Erlang will be like Sanniang's brother and sister in the future."

Li Jing said awkwardly, "Then I'm taking advantage of you."

"Everything is different, Sanniang called me Yifu, and I will still call you Brother Li from now on."

Li Jing worried that doing so would not have any effect, Sanniang is now in a state of completely refraining from oil and salt.

"Try it," Qin Qiong comforted Li Jing, "I understand Erlang's intentions, and his attitude is very firm. Even if Sanniang can't think about it for a while, she can't slap her. Our main thing now is to take care of Sanniang's emotions. As long as she doesn't do anything stupid, then a year or two, at most three years, will pass slowly."

"That's the only way to go." Li Jing said helplessly.

The two most capable generals in the Tang Dynasty were helpless against a little girl like Li Sanniang.

Life has to go on.

It's the end of the year, and Li Jing is actually very busy. He is now the Secretary of the Criminal Department and the Prince's Left Guard. Every autumn and winter, the Criminal Department is actually the busiest time. There are too many cases and prisoners that need to be checked.

If it weren't for the matter of Li Sanniang and Wu Huaiyu, Li Jing would not have joined Qin Qiong's house at all. It's not that he looked down on Qin Qiong or something, but that Li Jing has always been cautious, and now that he is in an important position in the court, he acts even more cautiously.

In fact, the two met today and got along very well. Qin Qiong is quite a nice person. Although he is a fierce general, he is different from reckless men like Hou Junji, Yuchi Gong and Qiu Xinggong. Qin Qiong is quite humble and gentle.

Of course, Qin Qiong also had a good impression of Li Jing.

The two of them even felt a little sympathetic to each other and hated seeing each other late, why didn't they get in touch sooner.

Back in Yongkangfang, Li Jing went to see Sanniang.

West Wing Courtyard.

Li Sanniang is dancing with her sword.

Wearing a Taoist robe and dancing a mahogany sword.

The sword is like a frightened bird.

Li Jing stood and waited for her to finish the set of sword dance, and then handed over a box, "This is a gift from Duke Qi and the county magistrate,"

"Why did they give me presents?"

"I happened to be visiting Duke Qi's mansion today,"

The two of you were a bit unnatural, Li Jing continued, "When talking about you, they all like you very much, and they all lamented that it's a pity, the county lord wants to adopt you as a righteous daughter, and also said that he wants you to live in the Duke of Qi's mansion for a while. Spend time with her, and by the way, I invite you to be the teacher of some young ladies in Duke Qi's mansion, and teach them how to ride horses and dance swords."

"What is uncle's arrangement?" Li Sanniang asked directly.

"You look depressed all day long, afraid that you will hurt your body. Qi Guogong and Mrs. Li Xianzhu are very nice people, and the young ladies in their family are also very cute,"

Li Sanniang interrupted him, "Duke Qi is Erlang's adoptive father, you want me to worship them as adoptive parents again, is that because you want me to be like Erlang's future brothers and sisters?"

Li Jing said bluntly, "Indeed, there are some things that cannot be forced. Wu Huaiyu will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and he will definitely visit the Duke of Qi's mansion tomorrow. If you don't give up, you can go to the Duke of Qi's mansion to see him again tomorrow.
He is still that attitude will not change. "

Li Sanniang looked directly at Li Jing, "You really want me to see him, what if he changes his mind?"

Li Jing was also helpless, "If that's the case, let us toss about your affairs, and we will ignore them later, but if Wu Huaiyu still has that intention, I hope you can wake up."

Li Sanniang gritted her teeth and responded, "Okay."

"Wu Huaiyu still has that attitude, can you accept it?"

"I'll see you later." After Li Sanniang finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house. Li Jing stood there in a daze for a while, but finally had no choice but to leave. This kind of thing was too exhausting, and it was beyond his ability. .

Now he only hoped that Wu Huaiyu would persevere to the end, but in his heart he hoped that this kid would change his mind. After all, Sanniang's current state really made him feel distressed.
