Chapter 617 Couple’s Night Talk
At the night banquet of the Duke’s Mansion, there are no guests tonight, only their own family members.
A banquet lasts until midnight and leaves.
Qiao'er couldn't last night and had fallen asleep long ago. She was taken back to the room by the maid. Li Ji became 70% drunk and kept muttering "My Qiliner" and was supported by his servants and staggered back to the room.
Only Li Qinzai and Cui Jie were left in the front hall.
"My husband is back with great difficulty. He must be exhausted on the road. Drink less today and take a break early." Cui Jie advised softly.
Li Qinzai shook his head: "It's okay, drink a few more cups and stop drunk."
Cui Jie gently held the pot and filled a cup of wine for him. Seeing Li Qinzai drinking it all, Cui Jie suddenly reached out and stroked his face, and said with pain: "My husband must have suffered a lot in Tuyuhun, right? I listened to the front-line military newspaper, and felt frightened every word. My husband was in a battle, and I don't know how dangerous it is..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't encounter any danger. The troops and soldiers stood in front of me. They sacrificed their lives to protect me. More than 200 troops were brought out of Chang'an City, and when they came back, there were only thirty left..."
As he said that, Li Qinzai looked dim and sighed: "It was all born by his parents. How should I explain to their parents, wife and children..."
Cui Jie looked at his dark cheek with distress and sighed: "When I was very young, my father taught me that people were born unequal. Some people were destined to sacrifice for others throughout their lives, while others were born with wealth and wealth, and the world was rise and fall with just one thought."
"Your husband doesn't have to be sad. When the robes are fighting forever, you are with them, and you are also sacrificing your life and dying. The difference is that they fight for you and fight for the country. In the rain of arrows, no one's life is more precious. Life and death are the choices of God."
"We will give our parents, wives and children a good life to help our families live a healthy life. I think those dead people will be in peace in the dark."
Li Qinzai nodded and suddenly smiled: "Today's return is a happy day, and it shouldn't be so low."
"Madam, do Qiaoer do his homework these days when I left home? Have you ever been in trouble?"
Cui Jie felt relieved, and then smiled bitterly and sighed: "After my husband left, Qiaoer was out of control and almost went to heaven..."
Li Qinzai's body was shocked: "Pump him! The stepmother's mean face was revealed, and she would get rid of the trouble. I've tried those little bastards in school. Haven't I demonstrated many times for you?"
Cui Jie chuckled and then gave him a blank look: "I can't beat people. My stepmother's identity is more sensitive. Qiaoer is also very thoughtful. What should I do if I take revenge when I grow up?"
"Don't talk about beating him, I have to be careful when I discipline him for homework. Grandpa is so fond of him. A few days ago, Qiaoer was playing with fire in the study, and almost burned his grandfather's beard with a fire. Grandpa was not angry, and he said straight that he was like a father..."
Li Qinzai was stunned and murmured: "This guy really wants to go to heaven."
Cui Jie smiled relievedly and said, "It's good that my husband will come back. In the future, the important task of educating Qiaoer will be left to you. You are your own father, and no one dares to say anything when you beat, scold, discipline."
I recall when Qiaoer first met him, she even sat straight up to eat, and every movement seemed to have been measured with a ruler. Her etiquette and rules were so conscientious that even he, an adult, blushed.
如今的荞儿,已经成了国公府一霸,连李积的书房都敢烧,前后一对比,李钦载顿觉自己的父爱还是给得太少,主要是揍得少.
The couple talked about family matters for a while and met again after a long separation. Cui Jie talked a lot tonight, from Qiaoer's homework to the trivialities in the mansion, and even the dog guarding the door was raised by her.
Li Qinzai kept listening to her telling her with a smile. He knew that all the trivial topics were just her expressing her lovesickness.
Seeing Cui Jie keep talking, Li Qinzai wants to speak but stops.
He wanted to tell her everything that happened in Tuyuhun and the border town, including his story with Zi Nu.
However, he really didn't want to destroy the beautiful atmosphere in front of him.
The night was already deep, and there was a sound of whistling outside the mansion. Li Qinzai looked at Cui Jie with a deep look. When Cui Jie touched his gaze, she didn't know what she thought of, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Madam, it's late at night, we... it's time to rest." Li Qinzai smiled maliciously.
Cui Jie blushed and said, "Husband, you... just came back today. The road is so hard, why not go again tomorrow night..."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "Where did the madam think about it? A small separation is better than a newlywed. You and my husband have been separated for a long time. Tonight I just want to hold you and sleep with you and do nothing."
Cui Jie said shyly: "What do you promise to do nothing?"
"I promise, madam, you must believe in my character."
…………
The next morning, Li Qinzai opened the door with a refreshed spirit, stretched out his long and lazy waist, turned around and saw Cui Jie sleeping heavily, her pretty face was covered with fatigue, and her hair was messy.
Li Qinzai smiled. The man who had been holding him in for several months returned and slept with his wife in the same bed. She actually believed in his character and thought he would not do anything.
Oh, innocent woman...
Li Qinzai's character can only be considered a gentleman in the sage mode.
Cui Jie was exhausted last night. At Li Qinzai's strong request, the couple unlocked several new positions.
Li Qinzai woke up today and was about to bring breakfast from the maid who was lucky enough to bring her breakfast, but she saw the door of the west wing open. Qiaoer walked out of the room with her sleepy eyes, looking like she was not awake.
He walked to a elm tree in the yard, lifted up the hem of his clothes, closed his eyes and soaked the boy's urine and poured out towards the elm tree.
"Good pee! What a big boy!" Li Qinzai blurted out: "The fat water does not flow from outsiders. He already understands this principle at a young age, but he will not suffer any loss when he grows up."
After the boy urinated, Qiaoer still hadn't opened her eyes. He turned around and returned to the room, as if he was planning to continue sleeping.
Li Qin rushed forward with a quick step and knocked him hard on the head.
Qiao'er yelled and finally returned to her soul and was completely awake.
"Dad, why did you hit me?" Qiao'er rubbed her head and said.
"The 'dog' in other people's mouths is self-righteous. Are you a real dog? Do you have no cottage at home? Why do you urinate anywhere like a dog and urinate under a tree, and plan to enclose your territory?"
Qiaoer calculated with his fingers: "Dad, my child has calculated that it takes forty steps to go from the door to the thatched cottage, but if the door to the elm tree in the yard, just walk five steps. If it is you, what would you choose?"
Li Qinzai said seriously: "No matter how far or inconvenient it is, you have to follow the rules. If it is me, you will naturally have to go to the thatched cottage to solve the problem."
Qiaoer said in confusion: "But... I heard from my great-grandfather that my father often peed in the yard outside his study, and also harmed several peonies of great-grandfather..."
Li Qinzai's old face turned red: "I won't talk about peeing today. I haven't seen you for several months. I want to check your homework and hand over the homework I assigned to you before leaving."
