Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 95 Meeting Miss Cui Again

Since having Qiao'er, Li Qinzai hasn't had a peaceful night's sleep.

Anyone with kids knows that sharing a bed with a child can make it difficult to get a full night's sleep.

Bedwetting in the middle of the night, thirst, hunger, coughing, nightmares, etc., can all cause the child to cry for a while, and after being satisfied, he has to be coaxed for a while before he can continue to sleep.

Qiao'er is sensible, and he has no other problems in the middle of the night, and he doesn't cry or make trouble, but he can't control the bedwetting.

In the middle of the night, Li Qinzai found that the mattress was wet, so he had to call the servant girl, and took Qiao'er who was still asleep to the side, and the maid replaced him with a clean mattress, and the father and son continued to sleep.

After having a child, Li Qinzai realized that the phrase "a handful of shit and a handful of urine will feed you up" in Gouxue's lines is really no exaggeration.

The father and son didn't get up until the sun was up.

After dressing and washing, the maid brought breakfast.

Li Qinzai's living habits have also affected Qiao'er. Today, like Li Qinzai, Qiao'er also eats three meals a day, and drinks a bowl of goat's milk in the morning and evening, which cannot be stopped every day.

The taste of unprocessed goat milk is a bit stinky, Qiao'er seems to have been given to commit suicide, and she holds the bowl with a tragic expression. After taking a sip, her face wrinkles into a ball, and after a while, she takes a second sip.

Drinking so painfully, Li Qinzai did not soften his heart.

The child is growing up, no matter how difficult it is to drink, he must drink it. When he was a child, he must lay the foundation for the body, otherwise he will become a sick child when he grows up. Do you really think the name of the kid with kidney deficiency is nice?

Quietly sipping the hot porridge, Li Qinzai suddenly said quietly: "You wet the bed again last night..."

Qiao'er was taken aback for a moment, then said in shame, "Yes, Qiao'er was wrong."

"I didn't ask you to admit your mistake. You are still young, so it's normal that you can't control your urine." Li Qinzai said calmly.

Qiao'er felt ashamed, took a sip of goat milk silently, and suddenly asked, "Did dad wet the bed when he was young?"

Li Qinzai smiled proudly: "Father is such a wise and powerful man, he hasn't wet the bed since he was eight years old."

Qiao'er counted with her fingers, and said happily, "Qiao'er is only five years old, and can still pee in the bed for three years."

Li Qinzai said with a dark face: "There is no need to compare this kind of thing. If you can control it, you should control it as much as possible..."

After speaking, Li Qinzai glanced at him sideways.

The little kid who can't control his urine has learned to fall in love early, tsk!
He is a big man who can control urine and urine yellow, but he is still a single dog.

Why?

"Qiao'er, I heard from the housekeeper that you have a good relationship with a certain girl from the same village recently?" Li Qinzai tentatively asked with Yan Yuese.

Qiao'er nodded unabashedly: "Did you mean the daughter of the Wei family? My son likes to play with her."

Li Qinzai blinked, "like" and "like to play together" are two different concepts, they must be clarified.

"Why do you like playing with her?"

Qiao'er said without hesitation: "She gave me something delicious. The noodle cakes made by her mother are delicious. After they are baked, there are sesame seeds on them, which are very fragrant. The Wei family has a good harvest this year, and she often bakes noodle cakes. Both are divided into half for the child, so the child likes to play with her."

Li Qinzai coughed a few times. Hearing this, this guy has mastered the essence of eating soft rice?

The problem is, you are the child of a rich family. Are you going to eat the soft rice of the dealer's family?

What's wrong with this world?
"What about you? After eating the cake from the Wei family, did you give them anything in return?"

Qiao'er thought for a while, and said: "My boy taught the children in the village to recite "Hundred Surnames", and Wei Nannan was left to memorize it for a while longer. Wei Nannan learned it faster than others, and her father even thanked the boy."

Oh, it’s okay to exchange knowledge for bread, it’s not a loss of self-esteem.

I don't know how to characterize this relationship. The child's world is very simple, but Li Qinzai's thinking is too complicated.

"Okay, continue to play with her in the future, but be careful..."

Li Qinzai stopped in the middle of speaking.

What safety precautions should five-year-olds take?The premise of safety is that you have to stand up first.

The kid's hair hasn't even grown yet, can you be stupefied?
"Teaching her to memorize is not enough. In the future, if you have any delicious food at home, you have to give her back, invite her to eat together, and share with friends. You can't eat for nothing. Reciprocity can last long." Li Qinzai warned.

Qiao'er nodded with a half understanding.

…………

The autumn wind is bleak and the sky is clear.

After breakfast, Qiao'er continued to practice calligraphy in the yard. Li Qinzai asked his servants to get a long bamboo pole and a long roll of fishing line. There were some small bamboo holes glued on the bamboo pole, and the fishing line passed through the small bamboo holes. Well, tie a knot at the end.

Then let the servants get some lead, melt it and make a lead pendant, find a big unlucky goose, pull out a goose feather, take its hollow and connect it with a fishing line to make a float, and finally make a line wheel.

A fishing rod is completed.

I dug the soil and got a small pot of earthworms, and soaked a handful of millet in wine.

After a busy morning, in the afternoon, Li Qinzai walked towards the Weihe River excitedly carrying a small horse and a fishing rod.

I chose a location in the bay area with calm water, sprinkled a handful of millet on it, and the water immediately moved.

The ecological environment these days has to be convinced. There is no need to worry about the harm of pesticides for any food, and there are many wild animals, whether flying in the sky or swimming in the water, the number is very sufficient.

Unfolding the ponytail, sitting on the shore, Li Qinzai flicked the fishing rod, and then quietly waited on the shore for the fish to bite.

What fishing needs is patience, and what Li Qinzai lacks most is patience.

The years are so long, if you want to waste your time, how can you live without any patience?
Sitting alone on the shore, Li Qinzai even enjoyed the taste of loneliness. The life where no one cares about and is disturbed is very comfortable. There is no need for unnecessary entertainment, and there is no need to find dry topics to chat with others.

With green mountains and green waters, the whole person blends into the mountains and rivers and nature, and even his own temperament seems to be somewhat ethereal.

Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of satisfaction, he just brought a pot of wine out just now, drinking while fishing, what he wants is this kind of leisure.

Li Qinzai looked at the green hills in the distance in a daze, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere. The float on the water moved a few times, and the fishing line and rod also swayed.

Looking lazily at the float, Li Qinzai didn't move. After shaking for a while, the fishing rod stopped moving. It was obvious that the fish struggled hard after biting the hook, then got off the hook and escaped.

Li Qinzai didn't care, his purpose of sitting here was not to fish, but to enjoy solitude.

The more lonely people are, the clearer they are, and people can often think about many things in loneliness.

From Qiao'er's education, to the future prospects of the Li family, he even thought about Li Zhi's lifespan, and what plans the ambitious Empress Wu might have now.

There are too many and too complicated, Li Qinzai must think clearly.

Being a salted fish doesn't mean that you really don't care about the world. If you want to have a good life of eating and dying for a lifetime, you have to keep the status quo of the Li family and yourself.

The sound of small footsteps came from behind, Li Qinzai frowned, the beautiful lonely atmosphere was destroyed, and he was a little unhappy.

"Brother, can you sell me a fish?" The voice behind him was somewhat familiar.

Li Qinzai turned his head, but suddenly found that it was Miss Cui's family.

Today, Cui Jie is still wearing a broken blue coarse cloth hairpin skirt, her waterfall-like hair is wrapped in a blue turban, and she is holding a small bamboo basket in her hand. There are some mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket, apparently just picked from the mountainside. .

Cui Jie also recognized Li Qinzai at this time, she couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but backed up a few steps, as if she had encountered a man-eating beast, her stunning pretty face couldn't conceal her panic.

"Why are you?" Cui Jie blurted out.

Li Qinzai snorted: "Why can't it be me in my family's Zhuangzi?"

Cui Jie lowered her eyebrows, regained her composure, put down the bamboo basket, and saluted with both hands touching her forehead.

"Cui Jie pays respects to Li Shixiong."

"There's no need to salute, anyway, you and I don't like each other, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. Next time we meet, we can treat them as strangers and just pass by." Li Qinzai stared at the river and said calmly.

Cui Jie gritted her teeth, and said: "Cui Jie still wants to thank Li Shixiong for sheltering and concealing, for this kindness and virtue, Cui Jie will definitely repay it."

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue, turned his head to look at her, and said, "You look so poor, I really can't think of how you will repay me."

Cui Jie was silent for a moment, then said: "I will work hard to earn more money..."

"So, you plan to use money to repay me?" Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I'm not trying to hit you. Money is hard to get me excited. I wonder how much money you plan to spend to repay me?"

Cui Jie hesitated for a long time, then said softly: "Even if Li Shixiong gives the amount, I will definitely earn it."

Li Qinzai shook his head, and turned his eyes back to the fishing rods on the river, as if every fishing rod was more attractive than her.

"Don't talk about being kind or not. I just did it conveniently. It's not easy for you to avoid this marriage. I don't like this marriage arranged by the elders just like you,"

"I took you in the village to avoid the Cui family's eyeliner, because I was also worried that we would have to get married after you were captured by the Cui family."

"So, we don't owe each other, and taking you in is not a kindness, but for myself. You don't have to take the so-called kindness seriously, it doesn't matter at all."

Cui Jie said stubbornly: "What is Li Shixiong doing? It is your business. Congshuang and I have indeed received your kindness. We must remember and repay the favor, otherwise we will be in vain."

Li Qinzai laughed, this girl is still stubborn.

The fishing rod didn't move, and fishing also needs luck. Li Qinzai's luck may not be very good at the moment.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you something. Didn't you bring money with you when you ran away from marriage? Don't you know that you need money for food, clothing, housing and transportation outside? How dare you run away without bringing anything? Your courage?"

Cui Jie's pretty face flushed instantly, shy and embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the truth.

"I brought enough money, dozens of taels of silver cakes. After I left home with Congshuang, I mixed into a caravan. Later, I found that the Cui family was chasing our cavalry team. I hurriedly left the caravan. Hiding in the woods, the Cui family’s cavalry escaped, but the money was forgotten in the caravan..."

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You two are really...why do you go into the woods when you encounter something? Dodge the cavalry and drill into the woods. Last time I was caught by my trilogy, you also drilled into the woods. Miss Cui, you and the woods Born to be vicious, remember not to enter the forest in the future."

Cui Jie was also upset. Hearing this, she gave him a careful look, and said in a muffled voice, "Got it."
