Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 634 Another New Thing

This is an era when men make contributions, and it is also an era that is unfair to women.

The husband is too capable, although it is an honor to a woman, but he also has grievances.

There is a poem that says "Repent to teach your husband and son-in-law to find a marquis", expressing the grievances of women in this era.

When the husband is radiant and the wife can only look up, many things have to be compromised.

In Cui Jie's case, besides the worldly rules, her compromise was more about her love for this man, and she didn't want this man to be embarrassed because of her, because of her, he would let down another good girl who is kind and righteous.

Li Qinzai was very moved.

He can't set up a dedicated persona, not because he has a good sex, just like Cui Jie, he can't let Zi Nu down.

After returning to Chang'an, every time I close my eyes, the sad face of Zi Nu at the time of desperation will always appear in my mind. She left a tooth mark on his palm, promising a meeting in the next life with her life.

How can such a woman be abandoned, how can she bear it?
In the dark room, the couple was silent for a long time, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After a while, Cui Jie suddenly took the initiative and said shyly, "Husband, Auntie has urged us many times to give her a grandson."

Li Qinzai gritted his teeth: "Hey! Don't treat me like a human being tonight!"

…………

The next day was New Year's Eve, and it was rare for Li Qinzai to wake up early.

If he didn't think of it, Li Cui almost kicked in the door. Li Qinzai was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger to his old lady, so he had to get up and get dressed sullenly, and after breakfast, he sat alone in the yard in a daze.

Everyone in the whole house seems to be very busy, but Li Qinzai is a clean stream in the Duke's mansion. The white winter sun shines on him like a salted fish exposed to the sun on both sides.

How did you celebrate the New Year in your previous life?
Red envelopes, firecrackers, candy and melon seeds snacks, Spring Festival Gala, and...

Many memories of previous lives flooded into my mind.

Chinese New Year is a little different in this life, with many rules and complicated rules, and everyone is in awe of the gods of heaven and earth and ancestors.

The biggest difference is that they celebrate the New Year not for their own happiness, but to make the gods of heaven and earth and their ancestors happy.

In the morning, Li Ji led his family to the ancestral hall in the backyard to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Li family.

Li Ji's original surname was Xu, and Li Yuan gave him the surname "Li" during the reign of Wude. From then on, the Xu family changed to the Li family.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Ji's family is half of the royal family.

In the royal affiliation of Zongzheng Temple, Li Ji's family has been included in the clan roster.

This year is even more prosperous for the Li family.

Li Qinzai made great contributions in Tuyuhun and was granted the title of county marquis. For the Li family, it was an honor rarely seen in many years.

So this year when Li Ji led a group of unworthy descendants to worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall, Li Ji's expression was particularly proud. If it wasn't for his age and the inappropriate occasion, he would have jumped hard in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet.

The one who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty is the grandson of our family. He is not only a big white, but also a big dick.

After the sacrifice, Li Ji looked gentle, stroked the top of Li Qinzai's head, and in front of the tablet of the ancestors, encouraged him to make persistent efforts, and strive to let the old man win again in front of the tablet of the ancestors next year.

Li Qinzai should be respectful, and sneered in his heart.

Next year, why not treat me like a salted fish, put it on a plate as an offering, and put it in front of the tablets of the ancestors, the ancestors must be very happy.

After the sacrifice, everyone in the Li family left the ancestral hall and continued to play their own games.

The housekeeper Wu Tong is very busy, not only to prepare for the reunion banquet tonight, but also to urge the servants in the house to clean up inside and out.

The statue of the door god has been pasted on the pillar of the gate of the Duke's Mansion for a whole year. Wu Tong saluted respectfully, thanking the door god for silently guarding the house for a year.

Carefully remove the old statue of the door god and replace it with a new one.

For the first time, two small tables were placed in front of the two door god statues, which were filled with offerings. Today, not only the ancestors and ancestors celebrate the New Year, but the gods also celebrate the New Year. During the New Year, they must have a good meal.

It is worth mentioning that the door gods enshrined in the Tang Dynasty today are not Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong of later generations.

These two had just died not long ago, so it's hard to say whether they were reincarnated or not. I'm afraid it's not time for Fengshen.

In today's Tang Dynasty, the door gods enshrined by the court and the public are "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei". tiger.

Seeing that the two of them are so aggressive, calling them male gods is not enough to commend their achievements, so let's call them door gods.

The Duke's mansion was constantly busy, but Li Qinzai was free.

Sitting in the yard in a daze for a long time, Li Siwen passed by several times in a hurry, and every time he let out a dissatisfied grunt from his nostrils, Li Qinzai realized that he could no longer sit in the yard, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble.

Those who are older than the Chinese New Year will not be beaten even if they get into trouble. Li Qinzai is still a new county marquis at his age. If his father chased him all over the yard, it would not only be unlucky, but also embarrassing.

Therefore, Li Qinzai felt that he should find something to do.

Grandpa Li Ji is getting old, every time I see him, I always feel that he is a bit older.

According to the true trajectory of history, Li Ji will not live for a few years.

Traveling to the present, if Li Qinzai wanted to change something from the bottom of his heart, it would be Li Ji's lifespan.

It has nothing to do with the country, the country, the backing or the shade of the ancestors.

It's purely because he doesn't want to see his relatives leave too early. This black-bellied and wise old man deserves a long life.

Then, find something for Li Ji to do.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Qinzai ordered the housekeeper to get some thick bamboo, and found two craftsmen, and ordered the craftsmen to split the bamboo, grind it, and make one hundred and eight identical pieces.

Waxing, painting, engraving, coloring...

After a whole set of procedures was completed, a pair of mahjong in the Tang Dynasty version came into being in the hands of Li Qinzai.

…………

In the study in the backyard, Li Ji squinted his eyes, carefully looking at the treasures presented by Li Qinzai.

To Li Qinzai's relief, Li Ji's hands were constantly rubbing and turning the beads he made, but the stringing time was still short, and the surface of the beads had not yet formed patina.

Very well, in time, a greasy old man will appear, wearing flowered shorts and slippers, with skewers coiled in his hands.

If you pursue the cleanliness of your soul, you may even go to Tubo for a self-driving tour, but considering the current situation of the two countries, it is best to bring thousands of troops with you if you want to travel by car...

"What is this..." Li Ji took a mahjong tile, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Seeing that grandpa had the tendency to taste the taste, Li Qinzai hurriedly stopped him.

"Grandpa, I can't eat it, it's for playing."

Li Ji was a little embarrassed immediately, and said stiffly: "Of course the old man knows that he can't eat it, how can he speak so hard..."

Li Qinzai put mahjong on the table, and then told Li Ji how to play mahjong.

Eat, touch, bar, Hu.

Li Qinzai explained in detail the levels of winning cards in various combinations.

And Li Ji's comprehension is obviously not bad, and it didn't take long for him to understand.

"It's kind of interesting," Li Ji said with a chuckle, "One hundred and eight cards can form so many interesting Hufa'er, re-establish order from the initial chaos, and win the luck of the other three families..."

Li Qinzai personally accompanied him to practice several times, and intentionally released water for him.

After playing a few times, Li Ji became more and more interested, and a heroic feeling emerged spontaneously.

"Call those unfilial things here, and play a few laps with the old man!"
