The relationship between Li Qinzai and Shangguan Yi can only be said to be average. They don't have much contact, but there is a very important intersection, that is Shangguan Wan'er.
She is her own default daughter-in-law, whether she is the eldest daughter-in-law or the second daughter-in-law. In short, she will marry into the Li family in the future. This little girl is so rare.
So when he heard someone talking about Shangguan Yi, Li Qinzai suddenly became interested and leaned his head over.
"What's wrong with Shangguan Yi?" Li Qinzai asked curiously.
The speaker was not very familiar with Li Qinzai. They introduced each other at the door of the restaurant, but Li Qinzai didn't remember his name at all.
Seeing that Duke Li actually took the initiative to participate in his topic, the speaker suddenly became excited and his expression became more and more animated.
Li Qinzai smiled gently at him. He also knew that there were many people today and there were many unfamiliar faces, so he introduced himself again: "I am the second son of the Marquis of Xunyang County, Zheng Xin."
Li Qinzai cupped his fists and said, "Look up to me for a long time!"
Zheng Xin twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's strange that you have looked up to me for so long. I'm a complete stranger, okay?"
When something happened, the disciple obeyed him. Li Sujie next to him slapped Zheng Xin hard on the back of the head: "Sir, you are asking a question. Let's talk about business!"
Zheng Xin said hurriedly: "I also heard the elders in the family talk about it. In addition to Shangguan Yi, the Shangguan family also has a son who is an official in the court. When Shangguan Yi, the minister of Zhongshu, retired from office, the power of the Shangguan family fell into despair. I heard that He said life in Shangguan’s family has not been easy recently.”
"Shangguanyi's son Shangguan Tingzhi was originally from Zhongshushe. Later Shangguanyi became an official. Shangguan Tingzhi's official position was not affected at first, but last month the emperor wanted to allocate 10,000 shi to the official warehouse in Huainan and send it to Goguryeo. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty No one said anything, only Shangguan Tingzhi objected."
"He said that the official warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River are the basis for grain storage in the country, and the official warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River should not be used easily. Otherwise, if there is a disaster in the world after the spring this year, the grain stored in the official warehouses has been allocated to Goguryeo. How can the people from all over the country help? The court should think about it in peace and happiness. Only when we are worried can we not lose the support of the people."
"We don't understand the major events in the court, but Shangguan Tingzhi's words made the emperor very unhappy. After all, in the emperor's heart, conquering the Haidong Peninsula is more important than anything else. Everything must make way for the Eastern Expedition. Shangguan Tingzhi remonstrated with the emperor. When allocating official warehouses in Huainan, His Majesty looked a little ugly at that time..."
Zheng Xin sighed and said: "The emperor didn't say anything, but the ministers below knew how to watch his words. So the day after Shangguan Tingzhi admonished the emperor, countless courtiers came to impeach Shangguan Tingzhi..."
"The emperor may also feel that Shangguan Tingzhi is ignorant of the general situation. There were rumors among the officials the day before yesterday that it seems that Shangguan Tingzhi will be transferred to Qizhou as the governor. In other words, he will be driven out of the capital."
Zheng Xin shook his head and sighed: "When Shangguan Yi was in office, the emperor relied heavily on the Shangguan family, and his favor was unparalleled. Now that the only son of the Shangguan family has been transferred out of the capital, it seems that the Shangguan family will be completely in despair. "
Li Qinzai was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Has the official document regarding the transfer from the Ministry of Personnel to Shangguan Tingzhi been issued?"
Zheng Xin shook his head: "I don't know much about this. If Duke Li wants to know, uh... I heard that your father is the Minister of Civil Affairs, why don't you go back to your house and ask your father?"
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered.
Yes, his own father was a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was still a second-generation official. In recent years, he had no hope of his father becoming a dragon, so he had to make a move and become a big boss himself.
It’s so inspiring just thinking about it.
Then Li Qinzai thought of Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Wan'er taking the initiative to visit him a few days ago.
At that time, Li Qinzai didn't think deeply, thinking that the purpose of Shangguanyi's visit was to get his children married. Thinking about it now, Shangguanyi was probably in trouble and couldn't tell her.
Maybe he wanted to ask Li Qinzai for help at that time, but Li Qinzai's attitude towards the marriage of his children was too vague, and the two families had not established a substantive relationship. Shangguan Yi could not say anything about asking him for help.
At this moment, Li Qinzai's mood was a bit complicated. Ordinarily, what happened to Shangguan Tingzhi had nothing to do with him, but... Shangguan Tingzhi was Shangguan Wan'er's biological father, so he had to consider this relationship.
If her biological father is transferred away from Chang'an, Shangguan Wan'er will probably go to other places with her biological father to take up a post.
Then here comes the problem. What to do with Buckwheat?
Li Qinzai deliberately created an environment where Qiao'er and Shangguan Wan'er were childhood sweethearts, hoping that the two children would develop a relationship in advance. If Shangguan Wan'er went to another place with her biological father, wouldn't it be considered a long-distance relationship?
As we all know, long-distance relationship is the happiness of four people...
Li Qinzai felt terrible when he thought about it. How old is his son? If he doesn't pay attention, a green light will appear on his head?
Since Shangguan Yi is so cunning, he might turn around and promise Shangguan Wan'er to someone else. After all, Li Qinzai is not the only one with thick legs in the world. Li Qinzai has a vague attitude towards marriage. Wouldn't Shangguan Yi find a wife?
Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er as an adult, nestling in the arms of another man like a big peng, while Qiao'er was alone in Chang'an, feeling sad and sighing at the moon...
Tsk! The scene is a bit sadistic, and the person being tortured is Li Qinzai's own son.
So, can Li Qinzai help with this?
If you want to help, what codename should this operation be given?
"Son's Battle for Love"?
The problem now is that Shangguan Yi didn't take the initiative to ask, and Li Qinzai really didn't want to rush to help others, which was a bit price-deprecating. To put it more seriously, this was related to Qiao'er's right to speak after getting married.
…………
The banquet dispersed without any disturbance. Li Qinzai's goal for today was achieved. From today on, Jin Dayan officially appeared in the sight of the powerful people in Chang'an City.
After Li Qinzai said goodbye to all the dandies, he got on the carriage and returned home.
As soon as he walked into the front yard, Li Qinzai suddenly discovered that Shangguan Wan'er was here again.
When the little girl left last time, Li Qinzai kindly told her to visit more often and play more with her elder brother and brother. Shangguan Wan'er readily agreed and kept her word.
Leaning against the screen wall, Li Qinzai crossed his arms across his chest and quietly observed the three children getting along.
Well, Hongbi can be ignored. This guy was drooling and his eyes were shining, and he was staggering after his Shangguan sister, but Shangguan sister obviously didn't like to talk to him.
However, Hongbi was not hit at all, and instead ran after Shangguan Wan'er unyieldingly.
Li Qinzai rubbed his face vigorously. This person was also his biological child, but for some reason, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a licking dog. It was really unfortunate for his family and his ancestors were ashamed.
I had to keep telling myself that Hongbi was still young and didn't know what self-esteem was. His thick skin was probably inherited from his father...
But his own father had never been a dog licker in his two lifetimes.
Licking was licking, but it wasn't a mental lick, it was a real... thing.
In contrast, the relationship between Qiao'er and Shangguan Wan'er seemed much more comfortable.
A pair of golden boys and girls gathered together. Qiao'er was calm and a little bit middle-class. She was showing off the quadratic equation she had just made to Shangguan Wan'er, pointing at the most difficult question on the test paper. , such as taking the head of a general out of a million troops.
Li Qinzai sighed feebly. What's so exciting about a quadratic equation of one variable?
Any time you play a convex lens trick to make fire, it's much better than a quadratic equation, okay?
If that doesn't work, you might as well beat her brother to cheer her up.
