In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, at the time of Xu, Lantian County, Qin Mansion.
After Qin Ming repeatedly promised to teach Li Yuan "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for two hours tomorrow afternoon.
Li Yuan reluctantly followed Qin Ming to a courtyard arranged by Xiao Changxi.
After repeatedly telling the maid in the courtyard to serve his grandfather well, Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi returned to the study.
Originally, Xiao Changxi wanted to go back to Qingxinyuan directly, but later she heard Qin Ming say that she had something to confess, so she followed him back to the study.
As soon as Xiao Changxi entered the room, before she could ask Qin Ming what was going on, Qin Ming pressed her against the study door.
"Xi'er, you haven't come to me for so many days? Have you forgotten your previous agreement?"
Xiao Changxi's body was pressed against Qin Ming's, and hearing Qin Ming's words, a layer of blush instantly appeared on her face.
A few days ago, she saw that Zi Jun also liked Qin Ming, which made her a little overwhelmed. So these days, she deliberately avoided Qin Ming and tried not to be alone with him.
Fortunately, more than ten days had passed since Qin Ming's engagement. She saw that Zijun seemed to be slowly returning to his former cheerful self, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Seeing Qin Ming's gentle eyes at this time, she didn't dare to look at him, so she turned her face sideways and said:
"I haven't forgotten it. It's just that the New Year is approaching and there are a lot of things in the house."
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"Well, as long as you haven't forgotten, let me give you a kiss first."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lift Xiao Changxi's veil. Qin Ming looked at Xiao Changxi's exquisite white face with rosy skin, and couldn't help but marvel at God's preference for Xiao Changxi, and actually gave her such a face that would make a country fall.
Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore and kissed her directly. His hands skillfully reached into the down jacket and gently rubbed the white rabbit.
After a while, when Qin Ming was thinking about the next step, Xiao Qingwan's voice came from the door:
"Sir, it's getting late, it's time to wash up and go to bed."
Xiao Changxi, who was pressed against the door by Qin Ming, trembled when she heard this and patted Qin Ming's back anxiously. Qin Ming withdrew his hand speechlessly, and then said to the door:
"Qingwan, you go back to the house and wait for me. I'll go there when I'm done."
A clear and clear voice came from outside the door:
"Master, hurry up, the water will get cold soon."
It wasn't until the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away that Xiao Changxi took a long breath, then rolled her eyes at Qin Ming and said:
"I'm going back now. I'll come back to you when I get the chance."
After saying this, he slipped out of the study without waiting for Qin Ming's reaction.
Qin Ming looked at the beauty's leaving figure, sighed silently, calmed down in the study for a while, and then left the door.
When he entered the bedroom, Qingwan and Sishe were already standing by the tub waiting for him.
Under the service of the two men, Qin Ming quickly took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.
Xiao Qingwan asked Qin Ming nonchalantly while wiping Qin Ming's back:
"Sir, Wan'er seemed to have seen her aunt coming out of your study just now."
Qin Ming stiffened for a moment when he heard this, and then said:
"Oh, well, I was thinking that my grandfather's clothes were relatively thin, so I asked Chang Xi to make a down jacket for my grandfather tomorrow so that he wouldn't get cold."
After speaking, Qin Ming sighed, and then continued:
"Just now in the restaurant, you heard it, my second uncle who is not a son of a man.
After imprisoning my grandfather for so long, he finally managed to escape this time.
If he seeks refuge with my grandson, then I, as a junior, must take good care of his old man. "
When Xiao Qingwan heard Qin Ming's words, she didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't answer for a long time and stopped wiping her back with her hands.
Sishe on the side reached out and poked Qingwan, leaned into her ear and whispered:
"Wan'er, what are you thinking about?"
Qingwan came back to her senses after hearing this and continued to rub Qin Ming's back, but she said with some confusion:
"Sir, don't you think what happened to Mr. Li is a bit like that of the royal family?"
As soon as Qing Wan finished speaking, both Qin Ming who was taking a bath and Si She who was waiting on the side were shocked.
Qin Ming also realized at this time. At that time, he felt that the plot described by his grandfather was very familiar. When Qingwan said this, he immediately thought of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Maybe it's because Qin Ming's cleverness was misled by his cleverness, or maybe it's because Li Yuan, who used his own experience to make the acting realistic, is lucky.
Qin Ming thought for a while, turned his back to the two women and sighed:
"Hey, I thought it was too simple, young master. I didn't expect that Li Er's behavior back then would have such a big impact."
"Originally, I thought Li Er had made a bad start and would only affect his descendants. I didn't expect that ordinary people's families would also be affected by Li Er. Yes, people in this era respect him and even worship him. Some things are natural. I will follow suit..."
It was the first time Xiao Qingwan heard her son's bold remarks, so she quickly covered Qin Ming's mouth and whispered:
"Sir, you don't want your life, why do you say anything?"
Si Snake on the side also followed:
"Yes, sir, don't say these nonsense, or you may lose your head."
Qin Ming smiled, waved his hand casually and said:
"Master, did I say anything? I just said my second uncle, my second uncle's surname is Li, Xing Er, isn't this Li Er?"
The two women rolled their eyes together when they heard this. Sishe picked up the towel and wiped Qin Ming's back while asking nervously:
"Sir, what did you mean when you said that Li... is your second uncle's descendants and will be affected by him?"
"What else could it mean? My second uncle, Li Er, became the head of the family by killing his brother and imprisoning his father."
"Then if you are one of my second uncle's many children, when you grow up, you will know that your father won the position of head of the family by killing his brother and imprisoning his father."
"Then will you be moved? Will you follow the example of your father who killed his brother and imprisoned his father?"
Sishe was silent for a long time after hearing this. Qin Ming saw that Sishe was silent, so he turned around and stared at her and said:
"If you don't speak, it means you already have the answer in your heart."
Xiao Qingwan interrupted at this time:
"According to what the young master means, doesn't that mean that what happened in Chang'an a few years ago will happen again in the future?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he couldn't help but flash through his mind in the scene of the Tang prince's rebellion in later film and television dramas. He stretched out his hand and nodded Qingwan:
"Smart. I'm afraid it will be more cruel than we imagined. I'm afraid Li Er will not have an easy time in his later years. Hey, maybe this is karma."
Qingwan was a little frightened by Qin Ming's words, but Sishe's heart was filled with turmoil. She asked anxiously:
"Master, is there any way to resolve this matter?"
Qin Ming thought for a moment after hearing this. He was so high just now that he forgot that he was now Li Er's son-in-law, so wouldn't he be involved in their family's troubles?
Thinking of this, he felt a little secretly miserable, but on second thought he thought of some solutions. We'll see what happens next.
If you have enough status and strength, you can try to see if you can change the somewhat miserable old age of your cheap father-in-law.
If the strength is not enough, forget it. At worst, you can take your wives and run away. Anyway, the world is so big, it is easy to find a place to stay.
Seeing that Qin Ming was speechless for a long time, Sishe asked again.
"Isn't there anything you can do, Master?"
"Yes, yes, but I, an ordinary citizen, cannot influence these national events. Let's stop this topic here. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, okay?"
Sishe's eyes lit up when he heard this and rolled around, as if he was thinking of something.
After a long time, after taking a bath, Qin Ming put on his pajamas under the service of Si She and Qing Wan, and then pulled Qing Wan into the back room.
Because Wan'er had just interrupted his good deeds, Qin Ming bullied Wan'er for a long time before falling asleep with Wan'er in his arms.
But what the two of them didn't know was that Sishe slipped out for half an hour after the two fell asleep before returning to the house.
At the same time, in Li Yuan's courtyard, he was supposed to be sleeping with his arms around the beautiful woman, but at this time he was sitting alone on a chair, tapping his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
