When someone woke him up in the middle of the night, Li Qinzai happened to have a dream.
A dream from a past life.
The familiar faces and voices in the dream were sweetly sketching out the thin future between him and her.
"I'm lucky this month. I've over-fulfilled my performance. The manager said he'd give me a bonus of more than a thousand yuan." The girl snuggled into his arms, her two naughty little feet rising restlessly.
"I also have a bonus of more than 1,000, but we still can't afford a house..." Li Qinzai smiled bitterly.
"Then rent a house." The girl didn't care.
"You should have your own house when you get married..."
Holding his arm and resting her head on his shoulder, the girl smiled sweetly: "It's enough to have you here. It doesn't matter if you sleep on the street."
The girl raised her little face, her eyes narrowed slightly, but her face was full of a little pride.
When it comes to loving him, a girl is like a top student showing off her transcript, holding her head high and letting the whole world see her, and is deeply proud of him.
A rapid knock on the door woke up Li Qinzai.
When he opened his eyes, there were tears in the corners of Li Qinzai's eyes.
The bedroom that came into view and the antique decoration reminded him of a fact.
He completely lost her.
…………
The knock on the door was urgent, but cautious, for fear of upsetting him.
Li Qinzai tried hard to calm down his emotions. He didn't like to vent his negative emotions on unrelated people.
"Fifth Young Master, please wake up. My husband invites you to go to the study." The maid outside said tremblingly.
In the past, Fifth Young Master was not a good-tempered man. If he was woken up in the middle of the night, no matter what the reason, the maid would at least get a slap in the face until he calmed down.
However, the Fifth Young Master did not lose his temper tonight. After opening the door, he even smiled at the maid.
The maid looked shocked and held a lantern in front of her to light the way. She felt hairs on her back, fearing that the moody Fifth Young Master would suddenly stab her in the back.
Walking to the door of the study, the candlelight in the room glowed dimly through the window lattice.
Li Qinzai looked up at the sky. It was about three o'clock in the morning.
When Li Ji called him at this time, he either had a sudden mental illness or asked him to go to a funeral somewhere.
Who in the right mind would call someone to chat about something in the middle of the night? Treating people like grandsons.
Standing at the door of the study, Li Qinzai knocked gently.
These are rules and upbringing, and we must abide by them even if we are close to them, including grandparents.
"Grandpa, can my grandson come in?"
Li Ji's old voice came from the study: "Come in."
Li Qinzai pushed open the door and walked in. He stood in front of Li Ji and bowed first: "My grandson has met grandpa."
Li Ji stared at him with a frosty face and said coldly: "Nie Zhan, what a good thing you did!"
Li Qinzai understood what he was talking about, and just said calmly: "It's not a good thing, but it's not bad either. A man likes to take revenge, and when the time comes, that's how it should be."
Li Ji said angrily, "Revenge is enough, but you take revenge like this? What medicine was given to Zheng Feng and the others? Is this your revenge for letting him do something scandalous and immoral in public?"
Li Qinzai was not afraid and still said calmly: "Yes, it was all arranged by the grandson. And it's not just that."
Li Ji sighed and said, "The Zheng family is a powerful family. Zheng Feng's father and I were officials in the same court. Don't you think it's too much to do this?"
"My grandson thinks it's not too much. Grandpa, when the Zheng family set up a trap for their grandson, they should be prepared to bear the consequences. There is no thief in the world who can only eat meat without being beaten." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Li Ji said solemnly: "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"After thinking about it, the most serious consequence is to become enemies with the aristocratic family. Not only will the Zheng family be offended, but the seven sects and five surnames may also be offended. The Li family will cut off all contact with the aristocratic family from now on, and they will even be targeted by the aristocratic family in the court."
Li Ji Leng snorted: "You are quite sober. Can the Li family bear the consequences?"
"I can afford it, and my grandson thinks that offending the aristocratic family is a good thing for our Li family."
"Good thing?"
"Yes, good thing."
Li Ji sneered: "I would like to hear your fallacies."
Li Qinzai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Grandpa, what do you think the emperor has done to the family since he ascended the throne?"
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, smoothed his beard and said calmly: "It's okay, but I'm more wary of aristocratic families than the late emperor."
"The reason why the great ancestors and the late emperors placed great emphasis on the aristocratic family was that in troubled times, the emperor had to use the power of the aristocratic family to appease the people of the world. Now that two generations of emperors have passed away, the people of the world have returned to their hearts. Until the emperor ascends the throne, the imperial power has been consolidated, and the world is in a state of rule."
"Grandpa, now and then, today's emperor will not rely too much on the aristocratic family. On the contrary, he will slowly suppress the aristocratic family and weaken the aristocratic family. Today's aristocratic family is a threat to the imperial power!"
Li Ji looked at him deeply.
Li Ji was not surprised by what Li Qinzai said.
He was an official in the court and had been favored by the emperor for many years. Li Ji was vaguely aware of the emperor's thoughts towards the aristocratic family. When Li Zhi issued the "Edict on Prohibition of Marriage" in the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Ji knew that the emperor had intentions to suppress the aristocratic family.
But Li Ji didn't expect that this playboy grandson who was causing trouble all day long would have such insight.
You foolishly fell into someone else's trap and sold the royal treasure at home. In the blink of an eye, you were pointing out the world in front of me and talking about it, with a confident look like a dragon or a phoenix among men.
Recalling carefully, this grandson has completely changed since he sold the imperial treasure and was almost exiled to Lingnan.
The god-making arm bow, setting up a chain of traps for the Zheng family, and the calm and sober analysis of the general situation of the DPRK at this moment...
If these changes hadn't made the whole family happy to see them, Li Ji would have really wanted to invite monks and Taoists to come to his home to build an exorcism monastery and consecrate his grandson...
After calming down, Li Ji smoothed his beard and said calmly: "Continue talking."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Grandpa, do you agree with your grandson's fallacy?"
"So what if I don't agree?"
Li Qinzai spread his hands and said, "If grandpa doesn't agree with his grandson, he won't say anything. He's wasting his words talking nonsense. My grandson doesn't want to do such stupid things."
Li Ji stopped laughing and glanced at him lightly.
Maybe it was the connection between ancestors and grandchildren. Li Qinzai understood the look in his eyes at that moment, and then... he was a little embarrassed and a little aggrieved.
"The matter of selling the treasure given by the late emperor..." Li Qinzai said with difficulty: "If my grandson says it was an accident, he is actually not that stupid. Do you believe it, grandpa?"
Li Ji smiled heartily: "Believe it, of course I believe it. All the stupid things you have done since childhood were all accidents."
Li Qinzai blinked hard.
Is it irony? Isn't it?
"Don't mention matters between the Heavenly Family and the Aristocratic Family. It's too taboo. Even though you and I are in a dark room, we can't speculate on God's will." Li Ji said seriously.
"yes."
"Tell me what to do about the Zheng family. Do you really want to destroy Zheng Feng's family?"
"That's not the case. Revenge for the grandson is only one of the purposes. The important thing is to use this matter to make a high-profile enmity with the Zheng family, so that the emperor can see that our Li family has severed ties with the aristocratic family. The emperor can rest assured of the Li family, and the Li family can maintain peace for a hundred years. .”
Li Jinong raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Oh?"
Li Qinzai looked directly into Li Ji's eyes and said: "Grandpa, from now on, for at least a few decades, the Tian family's suppression of the aristocratic family will not stop, and will even become more and more severe. If the Li family does not come forward to express their position, they may arouse the emperor's suspicion. "
