After a long absence, Li Qingshu returned to Luoyang, the capital, with great emotion in his heart, but from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the journey would be slower and farther away. The closer he was to Mr. Zhao's home, the more nervous Li Qingshu was. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it right away.

Only when he was in front of the house, Mr. Zhao suddenly felt close to his hometown and cowardly. He was demoted and away from home for four years. Little, I once made the two elders angry, and I am really ashamed to be a son of man.

But the people beside him were much more nervous than him. Master Zhao would not let others see the timidity in his heart. He patted the back of Li Qingshu's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be dazed, let's go into the room."

"Oh..." Li Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling uneasy in his heart, trying to make himself look more elegant and decent, not even daring to take too big a step, and cautiously followed Master Zhao.

The richest man in Luoyang, the capital, is Mr. Zhao's second son, Zhao Ruxin, who is Mr. Zhao's father.So Mr. Zhao has grown up in rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, and he grew up in a favorable environment where someone will take care of him at the touch of a finger. His parents are the only ones in the family who love him very much. They can't wait to bring all the best things to him. Mr. Zhao is A natural statuette.

However, Mrs. Zhao is the master of the Zhao family, that is, Mrs. Zhao's mother. After returning to the capital, Li Qingshu became the young lady.Master Zhao's mother, Liu Shi, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, was also born with a golden key in her mouth. She is quite skilled in business, and all the account books of the Zhao family are in her hands.

Of course, Zhao Ruxin loves this first wife very much, and has never taken a concubine, and he rarely vetoes the decisions of his wife at home.

Mr. Zhao did homework for Li Qingshu in advance, "My mother doesn't need to put more thought into it, she's getting worse and worse in the past few years and can't be angry. As for my father, you can do as you see, don't worry about him."

One sentence shows Zhao Ruxin's status in the family.

But it is not easy to please Liu Shi.

Li Qingshu had also been a guest at Zhao's house. The Liu family was gentle and virtuous, and treated him very well, with all manners of manners.But that is from the standpoint of Mr. Zhao's friend, but with the status of "daughter-in-law", is the other party still willing to accept him?

It is said that after Mr. Zhao told them that he had married a man in his family letter, Mrs. Liu became very angry and became seriously ill...

That would be difficult, and Li Qingshu was worried again.

Although Mr. Zhao's family is not as dignified and majestic as our own family, it is still extremely magnificent. The house is very large, and there are many people in the house. Even the clothes worn by the inferior girls are better than those of ordinary people, let alone Mr. Zhao. How comfortable it was to live at home since childhood.

Passing by the courtyard, I saw a sea of ​​flowers over there, where there are many flowers, all of which Mr. Zhao loves. Although it is not yet the flowering season, it is still in winter, and you can still see the speckled flowers in the overwhelming white snow. It was so colorful, Li Qingshu couldn't help being stunned.

Mr. Zhao was right, although his parents didn't go out to greet him in a hurry, but they forgave him if someone opened the door for him.Master Zhao's favorite flowers and plants are still planted at home, which shows that his parents often miss him.

Zhao Ruxin and Mrs. Liu were sitting in the hall, sipping hot tea slowly. Seeing Mr. Zhao came back, Mrs. Liu only glanced at him and snorted softly, "I know I'm back."

Zhao Ruxin smiled lightly, Master Zhao pulled Li Qingshu to his knees without thinking, and asked a big gift for his parents.

"Huaijing's unfilial piety has made my parents worry for the past few years."

Following Mr. Zhao kowtow together, before kowtow down, out of the corner of his eye, Mrs. Liu hurriedly got up and helped Mr. Zhao up, and said angrily: "You child, why kneel in such a cold day, really, when you come back, you can kneel." Well, it's good to be back."

"Mother isn't angry?" Mr. Zhao asked.

Liu Shi sighed, and said sullenly: "How can you be angry, after all, you are also my own..."

Master Zhao smiled, helped Li Qingshu up, and introduced him generously, "Mother, this is the Li Qingshu you have seen, and now she is my wife."

When he said this, his expression was beaming. Mr. Zhao, who rarely showed his temper in front of his parents, really made Liu Shi angry and relieved this time, and he couldn't take care of the airs he just put on, and he couldn't ignore Li Qingshu anymore.

Li Qingshu felt very embarrassed when Mrs. Liu didn't speak, but Mr. Zhao who was beside him pushed him and said with a smile: "Don't be dazed, call your mother!"

Li Qingshu felt uneasy, trembling his voice, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "Mother..."

Li Qingshu's ears turned red when she heard this cry. Seeing her son protecting Li Qingshu like that, and the old man agreeing with their marriage, what else could she do?

Then he sighed and said: "Okay, okay, mother is old, you can do whatever you like."

I thought it was Liu Shi who didn't like him very much, and Li Qingshu clenched her five fingers nervously, but Liu Shi looked at him again and said, "Xiao Li, I've watched him grow up... that's all, he knows the basics anyway. Yes, you are together, mother can feel relieved."

Li Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he even stuttered, "Thank you...thank you mother..."

Mr. Zhao was also happy in his heart, leading him to call his father again, Zhao Ruxin readily agreed, indeed much more tolerant than Mrs. Liu.Looking at the bearded, almost middle-aged face of Mr. Zhao, Li Qingshu also relaxed a lot.

Mrs. Liu heard that Mr. Zhao had brought a child back, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring it in. The child has become white and fat after being raised for the past two months. tease.

After all, she is also a mother, so she can take care of children better than others, and loves children more.

Mr. Zhao has always listened to Mrs. Liu, and is very obedient in front of her. Li Qingshu has already seen this, so it is not surprising at all.But Zhao Ruxin is not a talkative person, he is very calm and silent, during the conversation between the few people, he called Mr. Zhao to the study, he must have something to discuss.

Seeing Li Qingshu's eyes full of worry looking at the backs of the two, Liu Shi stopped teasing the child and said, "What's the matter, are you worried that the master won't accept you?"

Li Qingshu hurriedly turned around and said with a dry smile, "Of course not..."

Liu Shi smiled, but she seemed to be more worried. She looked at Li Qingshu and said seriously: "Although you are a man, Huai Jing likes you. You and I both know Jing'er's temperament. I, as a mother, have nothing to do about it. I also know some things about the Li family. Your elder brother is indeed wronged, but I hope that you will not implicate Jing Er!"

Li Qingshu's eyes widened in shock. He naturally understood what Liu Shi meant. Compared with Suzhou, the capital is another battlefield. Many disputes here may have something to do with him, Li Qingshu, and have nothing to do with Mr. Zhao relation.

"I see, I will definitely not implicate Huai Jing, I will find a chance to leave..."

Every time he starts to get better, there will always be problems that make him retreat. Li Qingshu lowered his head and his voice was very low.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Liu shook her head and sighed: "I didn't mean to let you leave. You don't have to rush to leave before you finish speaking. Could it be that my son Huai Jing is such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death in your heart? Or Do you think our Zhao family can't protect you?"

Li Qingshu couldn't understand these words, and he also knew that it was not good for him to decide to leave without authorization, but he had to listen to Liu Shi's words.

"Since you are with Jing'er, your business is the Zhao family's business. We may not be able to help you. I just hope that you can live up to Jing'er's sincerity towards you. With Jing'er's temperament, in the future It will surely offend many people and receive more setbacks. Although we can help a little now, it will not last long. Since he has recognized you, you will take care of him in the future. Xiao Li, you can do this Are you there?"

Li Qingshu was stunned for a long while before slowly realizing what Liu Shi meant, and he immediately smiled and said, "Mother, please don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely help Huaijing well, and I won't let him put in danger."

Liu Shi nodded dissatisfied, and looked at her son-in-law. No matter how she looked at her, she felt uncomfortable, but she still liked the child in her arms.

"It's good if you can understand. Although it's unfair to you, as a mother, I will naturally worry more about my son. We will try our best to protect you. As for your brother's grievances, I also hope you can forget it. Now is a troubled time. We can't make a mistake."

Elder brother died wronged, even if he died, he still bears the bad name of treason in the end, there is no way to express his grievances, Li Qingshu must forget this, it is really... He was silent for a long time, Liu seemed to know that what he said was wrong, so he He took a step back, "Forget it, you can discuss this point yourself, I am a woman, it is not good to say anything."

She hugged the child for a while, then returned him to Li Qingshu, saying that she had gone to the accountant, Li Qingshu thought she was upset again, but she also asked the maid to send Li Qingshu a meeting gift to the room.

What Zhao Ruxin discussed with Mr. Zhao was about Mr. Zhao's birthday in a few days. The old man pointed out that Mr. Zhao must go and bring Li Qingshu with him.Zhao Ruxin then asked Mr. Zhao's opinion. Mr. Zhao was favored by the old man before, so he had to go this time, and then he mentioned Zhao Changge's wedding, and he returned to his yard after half an hour.

Linjiang Courtyard is still the courtyard where Mr. Zhao lived since he was a child. All the furnishings in it are still the same as when he left, spotless and clean. When Mr. Zhao came back, he was full of emotion.But seeing Li Qingshu sitting at the table frowning, Mr. Zhao thought he was being made things difficult by Mrs. Liu.

But after Li Qingshu showed the meeting gift to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "My mother gave it to you, so keep it."

There was a jade pendant lying quietly on the red silk in the box, Li Qingshu still didn't understand, "Mother didn't seem very happy just now, did I do something wrong?"

Master Zhao didn't answer but said: "Look at the back of this jade pendant."

Li Qing was puzzled and took out the jade pendant, turned it to the back, and there was a word Zhao engraved on it, "This is?"

"Our family all carry a jade pendant with us to represent our identities, you see." He took off his jade pendant from his waist, almost exactly the same. "When Mother gave you the jade pendant, she admitted that you belong to my family."

"I thought the old man gave you this thing."

Mr. Zhao chuckled and said, "Of course the mother-in-law gave it to the daughter-in-law. What did the old man do for you? Besides, the old man doesn't have such a thing."

Li Qingshu thought it wrong, and asked, "What does this jade pendant represent?"

Mr. Zhao went to the bed like an uncle, and smiled maliciously: "You have served me well, and I will tell you."

Li Qingshu looked at the closed door, no worries in his heart, so he rushed forward generously, "Okay."

When Mr. Zhao was served comfortably, he finally told Li Qingshu the origin of this jade pendant.

"My father's generation separated the family early, and later he became the richest man in the capital. Everyone said that the wealth can rival the country, but it is not true. Most of our family's business is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the property brought by my mother and does not belong to the Zhao family. , the old man can only look greedy, so he wants to please me, and wants me to give him all the family wealth. And this jade pendant means that you are a member of our family. As long as you hold this jade pendant, you You can get a huge amount of wealth in various banks across the country."

Li Qingshu was so frightened that his eyes widened, he nestled in the other person's arms and carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand, "Your family is so rich... No, I am also rich after taking this jade pendant..."

He amused himself when he thought about it, but when he thought about it again, he felt a little embarrassed, "Then is this considered a betrothal gift, or money to support you for the rest of your life?"

Mr. Zhao was choked immediately, turned over again, and said with a light smile, "Since he was given a lot of money to support him, it seems a bit of a disadvantage not to do anything."

Li Qingshu also said happily: "Then you have to do it a few more times to not lose money!"

"..."

When eating together at night, because of Mr. Zhao's explanation, Li Qingshu was no longer nervous, and Liu Shi was also very happy to serve his son and "daughter-in-law". A meal is a pleasant meal, but after the meal...

Mrs. Liu said to her son very tactfully: "Jing'er, Ning'er is very cute. Have you ever thought about finding a playmate for him? If he has blood relationship with you, that would be even better. Even if he is not a kid, The girl is also very good, one son and one daughter, make up a good word."

Mr. Zhao was stunned immediately, glanced at Li Qingshu from the corner of his eye, and Liu Shi smiled at Li Qingshu again: "Xiao Li, Ning'er is alone, surely you won't disagree?"

what can I do?Li Qingshu, who just got her mother-in-law's approval, squeezed out a smile, and nodded with difficulty, "Whatever mother said, then do what you want."

Lord Zhao frowned immediately when he heard the words, and said: "It's up to you."

Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect to agree so quickly, and returned to the room with a smile.Mr. Zhao also took Li Qingshu back to the yard, but just after closing the door, he saw Li Qingshu digging through something in the house.

"What are you looking for?"

Li Qing seemed to be in a hurry, but Li Qing said nothing, his face was very unhappy, even the jade pendant that he liked very much during the day, and he couldn't put it down, he threw it on the table, Mr. Zhao walked over to look at it in confusion, but when the other party turned around, his neck Between them was a sharp knife that was out of its sheath and gleaming coldly.

"...what are you doing?"

Li Qingshu frowned, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did your mother say that she wanted to take a concubine for you?"

Thinking of his own mother's words, Mr. Zhao also thought it might be, but he didn't expect his mother to be so stubborn, why didn't she agree long ago not to take concubines?Mr. Zhao was not afraid at all that the sword would pierce his throat, he shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know, and she didn't say so clearly."

"Then if there is really another girl who wants to marry you, do you want to marry too?"

"...I am Duanxiu!" Mr. Zhao said.

Only then did Li Qingshu put down his sword in satisfaction, retracted the scabbard, and smiled contentedly, "Well, just trust you."

Master Zhao had a dark face, and said in a cold voice: "I can divorce you if you fight your husband, do you know that?"

Li Qingshu froze for a moment, curled his lips and said, "Then what do you want?"

Mr. Zhao pushed him onto the bed, and said viciously: "Of course I want to punish you well!"

Li Qingshu kept avoiding him with a smile, and said anxiously: "I just did it during the day, so don't come... eh!"

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by his lips and tongue, and a hand was stretched out of the wide sleeve, and he touched it up and down. With the other party's more and more skilled skills, Li Qingshu soon couldn't push back.

He made a fuss for half the night, knowing that Mr. Zhao was back home, he was very excited, but it was hard for Li Qingshu, in the end he couldn't make a sound, and his expression was dazed.Then he just arrived in the capital and was bedridden for several days.

This kind of weather is the easiest to catch a cold, and Li Qingshu fell ill again, Liu didn't mention the incident last time, and they didn't meet much.After recovering from the illness, Mr. Zhao and Li Qingshu went to Duke Zhao's mansion to celebrate the old man's birthday.

There were a lot of guests that day, and there were a few things that were even more surprising. Mr. Zhao recognized Li Qingshu as his grandson-in-law, the little emperor came to celebrate his birthday as his future grandson-in-law, and King Yun also came, bringing Li Qingshu with him. Yan came to celebrate his birthday together.The gathering of these people together made one feel terrified and frightened.
