At this time, Li Yuan was like an athlete who won the Olympic championship in later generations. While waving the gold medal in his hand, he proudly said to everyone in the room:
"Haha, I accept it, I accept it."
Qin Ming looked at his grandfather's arrogant look, took Li Yuan's hand and said:
"Grandfather, we have a promise. Since you have won the title of Sparrow God, you will keep the gold medal this year. Today next year, we will compete again. Whoever wins then will keep the gold medal."
Li Yuan nodded and said:
"I will definitely win next year."
Seeing that Li Yuan liked the gold medal very much, Li Shimin couldn't help but interject:
"My dear nephew, why are you so stingy? Wouldn't it be nice to create a new gold medal next year?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"You kid, you know what? Is this a matter of stinginess or not? The name and date of the person who won the title of Sparrow God must be engraved on the back of this gold medal every year. This is an honor, do you know?"
Li Yuan's tone of voice was not polite at all, just like the tone that a father would use to educate his son.
Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Yuan would talk to him. His expression froze at first, and then Qin Ming and others saw that Li Shimin's expression was as if he was "trusted by Landlords". Sometimes he was melancholy, sometimes painful, and sometimes happy. In short, it looked like It was very uncomfortable to go up there.
Just when everyone in the room was worried that Li Shimin would get angry.
Li Shimin's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was trembling as he said:
"What you always teach me is that I am superficial."
Qin Ming "...."
Xiao Changxi "...."
Yang Zijun "...."
Xiao Qingwan "...."
The maids "...."
Seeing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but wonder, how could this old boy Li Er's temper suddenly become so good? Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty's idea of governing the country with filial piety was so deep-rooted?
Even His Majesty the Emperor could not reply when an old man scolded him.
Qin Ming thought for a moment, and then said to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun with some apology:
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I'm really sorry. The old man is getting older. Please bear with me. How about we go back to the front hall?"
Li Shimin looked at Qin Ming with a complicated expression after hearing this. He was as embarrassed as he wanted now. This was the first time he saw someone apologize to him on behalf of his father. This feeling was indescribably weird.
Queen Changsun on the side pulled Li Shimin's sleeve, smiled and said to Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, have you forgotten that we will soon be a family? Your grandfather is naturally the elder of your aunt and your Uncle Li. It's okay to be taught a few words by your elders. You think so, Erlang?"
Li Shimin nodded and said:
"What Guanyin Maid said is absolutely true. Our Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and it is necessary to respect our elders."
Li Yuan snorted when he heard this, and then sat down on the sofa as if nothing was wrong. Then he waved to Princess Jinyang in the center of the study and said:
"Little girl, come to Aye's place and let Aye take a good look."
After hearing this, Si Zi ran to Li Yuan obediently and shouted:
"Si Zi, I have met Aye."
After saying that, he blinked his big eyes at Li Yuan in a weird way, as if to say, "Grandfather, did you do a good job playing Si Zi?"
Li Yuan laughed loudly when he saw this. He picked up Si Zi and kissed him, and then said:
"Well, Sizi is good."
At this time, Xiao Changxi walked up to Qin Ming with Qingwan and the girls and said:
"Sir, please sit down for a while, we are going to prepare for the lunch."
Qin Mingchao and the girls nodded and said:
"Well, go ahead and remember to make more food that Grandpa and Si Zi like."
"I understand, sir."
After saying that, Xiao Changxi and others left the study.
.....
Qin Ming sat on the sofa, looked at his grandfather holding Si Zi, and then at Li Er and his wife who were sitting silently on the sofa. Suddenly, he felt that the silence in the study was a bit uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, he suggested:
"Grandpa, there is still some time before dinner, how about your grandson playing mahjong with you for a while?"
Changsun and Li Er's eyes lit up when they heard this, and then they all cast hopeful glances at Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Changsun and Li Er first, then looked around the study room, and then said unhurriedly:
"It's just you, me and Mei Niang here. How are we going to fight?"
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Qin Ming felt two hot eyes directed at him.
He ignored Li Er's eyes, but smiled at Changsun and said:
"I wonder, aunt, if you would like to play mahjong together for a while?"
Empress Changsun had long wanted to try it out in person. She heard this and said with a smile:
"Auntie, I am willing."
After hearing this, Qin Ming stood up and said to Li Yuan:
"Grandpa, isn't that enough for you to look at people?"
A few moments
Li Yuan, Concubine Zhang, Qin Ming, and Zhang Sun took their seats one after another.
Li Shimin sat on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, then hugged Si Zi and came to the card table.
Seeing that Li Yuan had no intention of driving him away, he stood beside Queen Changsun.
Soon the sound of shuffling cards sounded again in the study, and the atmosphere in the room slowly became lively.
After playing two rounds of cards, Queen Changsun became more and more skilled in grabbing and playing cards.
Occasionally, when Changsun was unsure whether to pay attention, he would ask the dog-headed military advisor around him for his opinion.
Qin Ming didn't know whether Changsun was just lucky or whether the dog-headed military advisor really played a role. In just a short time, Queen Changsun won a lot of money.
Qin Ming knew as soon as he saw his eldest grandson that mahjong would soon become popular in the harem of the Tang Dynasty.
...
Just when Qin Ming thought he could continue playing mahjong happily, an accident happened.
Queen Changsun: "Sixty thousand."
Li Er reached out and snatched the 60,000 yuan from Queen Changsun's hand and put it back into the card pile. Then he picked up 90,000 yuan from the card pile and threw it into the river.
"If you don't fight for 60,000, fight for 90,000."
Li Yuan has been unlucky in the past few rounds and lost a lot. He doesn't care about money. The main reason is that he just got the title of Sparrow God and lost to his daughter-in-law, a novice. He was already in a gloomy mood. Seeing the two of them at this time Playing cards to change things, he couldn't help but said to the two of them fiercely:
"You two, who is playing cards? Now it's 60,000 and now it's 90,000. Which card are you playing?"
Li Er and Chang Sun were at a loss when they heard this. Qin Ming could only smooth things over and said:
"Grandpa, please be patient. This is the first time Uncle Li has seen someone playing cards. He doesn't understand the rules. I'll apologize to you on his behalf. Your old prime minister has a strong heart, please forgive him for once."
After speaking, Qin Ming said to Li Er:
"Uncle Li, you too, why are you so ignorant at such an old age? You just give aunty advice, how can you try to steal the cards?"
Li Er's face turned red when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry.
While Qin Ming was talking, he saw that Li Er's expression was not right, so he thought about it and said quickly:
"Uncle Li, if this is not the case, you can take care of my nephew for a while, and my nephew will take Si Zi to the sofa to play for a while."
Li Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned to look at Li Yuan with some anxiety, as if he was afraid that he would be displeased.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then thought of Qin Ming's words yesterday, and finally nodded slightly.
Li Er couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and instantly forgot what Qin Ming had just said about him.
Seeing Li Yuan nod, Empress Changsun also cast a grateful look at Qin Ming.
