Innocent cast of white iron

"Master! You're back! Woohoo, I miss you so much! How hard have you been in Xijiang these days? Why have you lost so much weight! Woohoo..."

Just as Zhao Qi got out of the carriage and was still standing still, Cui Er threw herself on him and cried into tears.Still pinching his arm with one hand, "Master, look at your arm, how thin it is! Woohoo..."

Zhao Qi rubbed the center of his brows, seeing her face pale with tears, he didn't have the heart to blame her, so he patted her on the head comfortingly, and said, "Okay, those who don't know think that the master is dead. "

Cui'er cried even more when she heard the word "death", and said, "Master! You don't want to mention death, Cui'er has dreamed of it several times. Master, you were scared to death by that thief in Xijiang. Me!"

"..."

Seeing this, Wang Fu hurriedly stepped forward to tear Cui'er away, thinking that this girl is really desperate, and he didn't know what to say next, so he interrupted her and said, "Tui'er, don't ask for help in front of the Zhao residence. It's presumptuous, let the master go to the mansion first to rest, he must be exhausted from the long journey."

Tweety just sniffled, said "Oh", helped Zhao Qi carry the burden, and said, "Master, this business must have suffered a lot. Tweety just made some delicious food for you, but Be healthy, and I will ask someone to cook some bird's nest porridge for you later...Young master was still here just now, and I don't know where he is now. It's really strange..."

Hearing Tweety's thoughts all the way, Zhao Qi didn't feel bothered, and thought to himself, he finally went home.I haven't seen her in these years, and I don't know how Xiaodouer is.

As soon as I sat down in the living room, I heard Wang Fu shout outside the door, "Master, you are here! Master is waiting!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Dou rushed in from the door.As he got older, the immaturity on his face had disappeared, replaced by a sassy and heroic look, and his stature had also grown a lot, and he would surpass Zhao Qi in a few days.

Having not seen him for many years, Zhao Dou almost refused to believe that the person in front of him was Zhao Qi. He stared blankly and said for a long time, "Just now I heard that the Zhenxi army came back from Xijiang. The figure..."

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I always have to meet the Holy One first. Isn't this coming back?"

"Father..." Zhao Dou's eyes were red, and he burst into tears, choked up, "You have suffered!"

Zhao Qi smiled lightly, waved to him, and said, "Come on, come over here and let me take a closer look. How did this dazzling eye grow so big?"

Zhao Dou hurried over, sat beside him, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes casually with his sleeves, and said, "Father, Xiao Min is waiting outside the door, she is too timid to come in and see you."

Naturally, it was Lu Min who was talking about it. It seemed that these two children were very affectionate after getting along with each other all these years.Zhao Qi felt very relieved, and smiled, "What are you afraid of, I'm not a man-eating tiger! This child! Uncle Fu, quickly bring Miss Lu in."

Uncle Fu let out an "hey" and quickly exited the door, saying a few words at the door.It turned out that Lu Min had really been hiding outside the door and did not dare to come in.I don't know what Wang Fu said, but Lu Min still didn't want to enter the door. He poked his head out from the corner in fear, and looked around the room quietly. Finally, his dark eyes stared straight at Zhao Qi. .

Zhao Qi secretly felt it was funny, and waved to her, "Come in."

Lu Min looked at it for a while, then retracted his head after a long time, and entered the room under Wang Fu's pushing and shoving.This Lu Min was two years younger than Zhao Dou, and he was only in his early fourteens after the new year. He didn't look that big, and he looked even younger.

According to the two marriages previously established with Wang Zheng, this year, Zhao Dou's birthday, the marriage of the two will be arranged.Although this Lu Min is not very old, the two of them have a deep relationship, and there will be no trouble if they become relatives.

It stands to reason that Lu Min wanted to salute when she saw Zhao Qi, but she didn't seem to be able to react, she just stood there dumbfounded and didn't speak.Zhao Qi didn't take it seriously, looked him up and down quite satisfied, then nodded, and said, "This kid is not bad."

"Thanks...thank you daddy for the compliment." Lu Min lowered his head nervously and was at a loss when he heard Zhao Qi's compliment.

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows. This Lu Min called him "Daddy" before he married into the Zhao family. This situation is a bit like Wang Manman back then. Before he married, he called him "Xianggong" .

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi inevitably felt some pity in his heart, and said gently, "There is no need to be formal, we are all one family. Sit down."

"Hmm!" Lu Min breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no need to be formal, and quickly sat down beside Zhao Dou, bowed his head and did not speak again.

Zhao Dou was worried that Lu Min's collision would make Zhao Qi unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Father, Xiao Min has this temperament, and it's not that she doesn't know how to behave. Don't blame her."

Zhao Qi smiled, thinking that Zhao Dou had already been abducted by the elbow before he got married. "Okay, I know you feel bad, how dare father blame her." He said again, "I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare any greeting ceremony."

"Father, what are you going to do with those things?" Zhao Dou asked.

Zhao Qi glanced at him, and said to Wang Fu, "Uncle Fu, take the box from the side of the cabinet in my room."

Wang Fu said "yes" and hurriedly stepped back to do it.

Ignoring Zhao Dou, Zhao Qi said again, "Originally, this matter should be handled by your mother, but now I can only do it on my behalf."

Zhao Dou scratched his hair and said, "Please trouble me."

After a while, Wang Fu took the box and handed it to Lu Min, "Young Madam."

Lu Min was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his head to look at Zhao Dou, as if asking for help.Zhao Dou nodded and said, "Take it."

Only then did Lu Min receive it, and carefully opened the box, and saw a pair of ancient jade bracelets inside.

Zhao Qi said, "This bracelet is your grandmother's dowry. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and will be passed on to your children in the future. Be sure to keep it safe, do you understand?"

Lu Min hurriedly said, "Thank you Daddy, I will definitely keep it safe!"

Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaodouer, I'm afraid He Shangshu will come over later, so you go down first."

Sure enough, within half an hour, He Xiangyun came, and brought Liu Changqing along by the way.Zhao Qi first wondered why the two of them came together, but on second thought, maybe it was because of Yan Sheng's impeachment that the two of them had been in close contact before, in order to avoid suspicion, he even pulled He Xiangyun over.

Zhao Qi curled his lips into a smile, and looked at Liu Changqing clearly with his dark eyes.Liu Changqing also bent his eyes and smiled at him, and sat down on the chair beside him familiarly.

He Xiangyun had been aware of the relationship between the two of them for a long time, and he was not surprised. He also found a chair and sat down, and said to Zhao Qi, "Zhao Xiang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and he has become more and more handsome!"

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Master He, you don't need to talk about flattery." Then he said to Liu Changqing, "Mr. He and I have something important to do, why don't you go and sit in my room first?"

Liu Changqing frowned, hooked his fingers quietly on his sleeve, and said, "Is there anything you can't let me know? I can help you too."

"Zhao Xiang, I have already told Liu Shangqing about this matter, and Liu Shangqing is from our side, so there is no need to avoid it." He Xiangyun said.

Zhao Qi nodded without saying much, and asked, "So Zhang Guan did act in private?"

He Xiangyun looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "For these years Zhang Guanming fought with Yan Sheng on the surface, but he was doing shady things in private. I sent someone to sneak into Zhang Guan's mansion to investigate. The backyard of his house is heavily guarded, and the guards are watertight. There must be some ulterior secrets. I guess, he is either 'breeding tigers' or building weapons. I am afraid that as Zhao Xiang expected, when the time is right, this Zhang Guan must rebel."

Zhao Qi nodded. In his previous life, this body was indeed rebellious, and many of them Zhao Qi secretly contributed to the flames. In addition, Zhang Guan was dissatisfied with the execution of his second son Zhang Yuan, so he rebelled rashly.The situation is different now, Zhang Guan has been preparing for so long, and he has done everything without leaking any evidence.

"Master He, you don't have the slightest evidence?" Zhao Qi asked.

He Xiangyun shook his head and said, "There is no news about the people I sent. I'm afraid they were trying to scare the snake. Zhang Guan has taken precautions. Zhang Guan is insidious and cunning. It may be even more difficult to find evidence now."

Zhao Qi thought for a moment, and said to He Xiangyun, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. It will not be too late to make a decision after the news from my spies comes over." After changing the subject, he said, "You have been working in the past few years. In the capital, do you know which concubine the emperor is close to?"

He Xiangyun didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What does this have to do with this matter?"

Before Zhao Qi opened his mouth, he smelled a strong smell of jealousy inexplicably, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Changqing looking at him, as if he was questioning him wrongedly.

Wanting to know what he was thinking, Zhao Qi smiled helplessly and said, "At the celebration banquet today, there seems to be good news in the harem. Now there are only a few concubines in the palace. If the pregnant one is Zhang Guan's niece, I'm afraid things will happen to us. It's not good. It would be fine if Concubine Hui was there, but Yan Sheng is also at odds with us now, and will somewhat restrain our next actions."

He Xiangyun stroked the beard on his chin, and said, "Mr. Zhao thinks long-term, so who should we deal with first?"

Liu Changqing said, "In my opinion, since Zhang Guan does not leave any evidence for his actions, we will create some evidence for him. Just now what Mr. He said, since we can't rush into Zhang's mansion to inquire about news, it's better to go in and search openly, and we can always find some. Clues."

"Creating evidence?" He Xiangyun was taken aback, thinking that this is just planting and framing?His eyes shifted to Zhao Qi again, and he asked, "Master Zhao, you think this matter should be..."

"It's worth a try." Zhao Qi said, "Then leave this matter to Zhang Qing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changqing said quickly, "Well, leave this matter to me."

He Xiangyun didn't bother with such tricks at first, but before he had time to say it, seeing that the two people had already settled the matter by 'working together', he could only say, "That's fine."

Several people discussed for a while how to frame him, and finally sent He Xiangyun away after half an hour.

In the important place of the study, Zhao Qi never allowed servants to come in to serve him. Once He Xiangyun left, only Liu Changqing and Zhao Qi remained relatively silent.

It was here a few years ago.Zhao Qi led the emperor's order to go to Xijiang, Liu Changqing came to say goodbye, and then kissed Zhao Qi while he was not paying attention, and every time I think about it afterwards, I feel sweet.At that time, I thought it was a great gift to go for a walk and talk with him, but I didn't expect Zhao Qi to actually accept him now.

Liu Changqing smiled to himself for a while, and said to Zhao Qi, "Feilu, do you still remember that I secretly kissed you back then. I didn't fall asleep for two days when I went back, and everything I ate tasted delicious, as if the taste was still in my mouth Like."

"..." Zhao Qi glanced at him, ignored him, got up and took out a few books from the side bookshelf, and said, "I remember reading something related to witchcraft in some books, now I can’t remember where I put it. You also come and look for it with me.”

Liu Changqing said "Oh", got up and stood beside him, but he was not in a hurry to find any books, he bent his eyes and smiled at him, "Feilu, if you read some vulgar and indecent idle books on weekdays, don't worry about it." Hidden it well, it would be embarrassing for me to see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of scrolls on the bookshelf that looked familiar. Without thinking too much, Liu Changqing reached out to take the scrolls out, and slowly spread them out.I saw a person standing with his back in the middle of the hazy mountains and rivers, feeling rather bleak.A poem was written in the blank space of the landscape.

Sorrow on the branch, worry on the branch, secretly send love to the willow tip.

Partridges don't know their grievances in life, and the wind and rain are full of flowers.

Liu Changqing lowered his eyes, looking at that person, that painting, that poem.After being in a daze for a long time, he said, "Feilu, you still keep it..."

Zhao Qi flipped through a few books in his hand, threw them aside casually, took out a few more and continued to read, without looking at him, and said calmly, "Put it here casually, and forget it."

"It's a lie..." Liu Changqing smiled lightly, and said again, "On New Year's Eve, on New Year's Eve, it's hard to get married with a magpie. But a beautiful woman has a beautiful country, and a little golden thread of time."

"Are you blaming me?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Yeah." Liu Changqing nodded and said, "It's such a beautiful time, you're going to let it down."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you prepared?"

In fact, Zhao Qi intended to ask him what he had in mind, but Liu Changqing hesitated for a while, then took out a box of ointment from his cuff, and handed it to him, his cheeks flushed, "Well, everything is ready."
