Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 376
Among the many children and grandchildren of the Li family, there are not many like Li Qinzai who dare to make fun of grandpa, none of them.

The filial piety that is emphasized these days is to be respectful in front of the elders, and behave like a ceremonial manner, especially for wealthy families, the etiquette requirements for the younger generation are even more complicated and strict.

People like Li Qinzai are really rare, but I don't know why, regardless of his status, official title and ability, among the many descendants, Li Ji loves Li Qinzai the most.

Whether other children and grandchildren worship or respect in front of this old man, they are too particular about etiquette, but there is a sense of indifference. In front of those children and grandchildren, what Li Ji shows is majesty, not a kind and amiable grandfather.

Only Li Qinzai, who seemed to completely ignore the majesty of this famous grandfather, joked with him in different ways, made him happy, and of course, made him tremble with anger.

In short, Li Qinzai brought many different colors to the retired veteran cadre's later life.

Today is still a day to be angry with my grandson.

A well-cultivated peony was burned by Li Qinzai's urine. The fertilizer had too much stamina, and it might still be a little bit angry. When Li Ji found out, the peony had died of hatred.

"Xiu Niang..." Li Ji squatted in front of the dying peony, with a sad expression on his face.

Li Qinzai was sore all over, and honestly knelt in front of Xiuniang to make amends. He had been kneeling for less than half an hour, and his knees were a little numb.

The attitude of apologizing is already very correct, and I don't know if this embroidered lady has forgiven him, but after careful analysis, this embroidered lady probably didn't have time to become a sperm, otherwise she wouldn't be burned to death after urinating.

"Kneel down for the old man! Get another thin coffin, so I can bury Xiu Niang." Li Ji pointed at Li Qinzai and said angrily.

"Grandpa, grandson goes back to his room and sleeps, planning to apologize to Xiuniang in his dream, it will be more sincere..."

Li Ji sneered and said: "It's better for the old man to send you down. Wouldn't it be more sincere for you to apologize to it face to face?"

"Grandpa, there's no need to kill relatives righteously, it's not even a beast..."

"You are not even as good as an animal! This old man only has this peony, and it was harmed by you just a few days after it bloomed."

While scolding and reprimanding Li Qinzai, the housekeeper Wu Tong came over to report that there was a visitor.

The guests who can enter the British government are either rich or expensive. Although Li Ji is a retired veteran cadre, his prestige is not retired. He is still a nuclear bomb-level existence in the army. Looking at Chang'an City, there are not many people who are qualified to visit.

The guests were all acquaintances, and not long after, a group of veterans came in one by one.

The veterans are very familiar with the Duke's Mansion, and they don't need the housekeeper to lead the way. A group of people came to the study in the backyard, and saw Li Ji's face was angry, and Li Qinzai next to him was kneeling respectfully in front of a smiling peony. .

The veterans were taken aback for a moment, and immediately laughed.

"Haha, what's the way? I've seen a lot of old men worshiping tablets and tombstones, but I've only seen people worshiping a flower." Su Dingfang, who was walking in front, stepped forward and patted Li Qinzai on the shoulder.

Li Ji said angrily: "This evil animal killed the old man's peony plant as soon as he returned to Chang'an. The old man took care of it carefully for several months, but he did not escape the poisonous hands of this evil animal after all."

Su Dingfang said unwillingly: "It's just a flower, it's a big deal, shouldn't it be planted in the soil well, how did your evil beast kill it?"

While talking, Su Dingfang leaned closer to observe the peony, and smelled it by the way, then frowned, the smell was not right...

Li Ji said coldly: "I was burned to death by the evil animal."

Su Dingfang froze, and hurriedly stepped back subconsciously, with a look of bad luck, he kept raising his sleeves and wiping his nose.

The generals behind him burst out laughing, and even the angry Li Ji couldn't help but hook his lips.

Su Dingfang couldn't hold back his old face anymore, he laughed dryly, and glared at Li Qinzai: "Kneel well! You won't get up until it's dark!"

Another veteran, Liang Jianfang, was unhappy, and stared and said: "Open your dog eyes to see clearly, is it your grandson? Why do you listen to you, baby Molly, this old man, kneeling and kneeling, punishing him ,stand up!"

Speaking of Liang Jianfang lifted it with one hand, Li Qinzai took advantage of the situation and stood up.

Qibi He Li from behind also helped to speak: "What a good grandson, capable and sensible, it is rare to find such a handsome talent after 100 years of fire in the ancestral grave, how could Yinggong have the heart to punish him for a flower."

Liang Jianfang said: "That's right, if Grandpa Ying doesn't want to adopt such a good grandson, you might as well give it to me. There are not many other things in the old man's house, but there are many daughters and granddaughters. If you want to be the grandson of the old man, as long as the unmarried women are welcome from all over the house." You choose, and you can serve it in one pot.”

Li Qinzai grinned and said, "Thank you Grandpa Liang, I'm afraid the kid won't be able to handle it, and the adoptive passed away within two months after he came to your house."

Li Ji glared at Liang Jianfang bitterly, scolded the old man, and let everyone into the study.

Xue Rengui is considered the lowest seniority among this group of veterans, and he is still low-key and restrained as usual.

Li Ji led the veterans into the study room, Xue Rengui walked last, suddenly paused, turned to look at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "My evil son doesn't understand the rules, and he did business in your family's beauty cream, and has been severely punished by the old man." The punishment has passed."

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Uncle Xue is too harsh on brother Shenyan. The business of Zhuyan cream that he did was given to him by my nephew Yu Yu. He sells it to places other than Guanzhong, and it does not conflict with my family's interests."

Xue Rengui shook his head: "Rules are rules. If you sell other people's things, you will get a profit. There is no such reason in the world."

"Uncle Xue, don't be like this. Xue Na and I are like brothers. What's mine belongs to him. If one day I need it, I believe he will treat me like this. Why bother to mention mere money matters."

Xue Rengui smiled: "My dog ​​has been busy all his life, and the greatest achievement is his friendship with you. They say that he is close to Zhu Zhechi. Seeing that he has been busy with his family business recently, he is no longer the same as before. He has become much calmer. , This makes me more gratified than him making money, Jingchu, thank you."

At this moment, Xue Rengui is no longer the all-powerful general in the ten thousand horse army, but an ordinary father who is purely worried about his children.

Famous generals are also mortals, and when their aura recedes, they are also the appearance of sentient beings.

Entering the study room, Li Ji'an took the first place, and the veterans sat separately.

Seeing Li Qinzai coming in, Li Ji pointed at him and said to the generals: "I invite you to come here today because of this unworthy bastard. He recently got a new gadget called 'cement'. It was originally a good thing. , but he didn’t know how to live or die, admonishing His Majesty about building roads and building ships, which caused an uproar in the court.”

Su Dingfang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old man heard about cement. His Majesty summoned us into the palace a few days ago, mixed river sand with cement, and built a bunker. Tsk, it's a good thing. The old Qibi worked hard. Those who can carry a tripod took three hammers to smash the bunker."

Liang Jianfang also stared at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "The grandson of Yinggong's family is really a treasure. I really don't know how to grow his brain. He made so many good things out quietly. This kind of talent is wasted as a idle job. Yinggong should let him go." He came to the army, among other things, if he came to my left guard, he should at least be a general of the middle class."
