Wang Shouren thought about it, but still couldn't figure out the relationship between the three of them, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.
At least, one thing is certain,
No more spending his money!
This is good news to be thankful for. The seven hundred taels in my pocket can be saved.
…
The food and wine were served, and we drank and chatted.
Wang Shouren was just acquainted with Li Qing, but could not speak to Zhu Wanqing and Zhu Jianshen. He simply did not say anything and just opened his cheeks, as if he had been hungry for three days.
Li Qing joked: "You haven't eaten enough during this journey, right?"
You are so good at spending money, so I can’t let it go, okay...Wang Shouren sneered and said with a smile, "Aren't I growing in body?"
"..."
With Wang Shouren around, Zhu Wanqing couldn't address her directly, so she simply talked in riddles, but it didn't hinder communication.
"Since I'm here, I'll leave after this new year," Zhu Wanqing said. "In the second half of this year, Fujian and Japanese pirates will make a big fuss. Last month, Brother Ji Hong wrote a letter saying that he wouldn't come back during the New Year. I was alone at home. It’s too boring, so don’t leave.”
She knew who could make the decision, so she looked at Li Qing, "Uncle Li, what do you think?"
"Um..." Li Qing looked at Wang Shouren, "What about you?"
"I don't care." Wang Shouren smiled: As long as it doesn't cost me money, anything will work.
It's winter now, and in addition to the betrothal gift, Wang Shouren has to give some extra new year's gifts when he goes to Nanchang. Wang Shouren is short of money, so he naturally saves as much as he can.
Anyway, we can't get married before the year, so we might as well stay here for a while.
It just so happens that we can also take advantage of the big player Li Qing.
"Then let's celebrate the New Year here." Li Qing said with a smile, "My lord, do you have any objection?"
"..." Zhu Jianshen is of course all-powerful, but he really can't understand this 'Great Emperor', it feels like a dog's name.
"Call me Lao Zhu."
"Okay Zhu."
"...It's Lao Zhu!" Zhu Jian's dark face turned even darker.
Li Qing hehehe: "Old Zhu can you use it too?"
Zhu Jianshen: "???"
Zhu Wanqing hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Uncle Li, you are really... how can you be like this... I might as well call you Master."
Awesome, Li Qing is so awesome...Wang Shouren was shocked.
He didn't expect that Li Qing would have the courage to talk to the Supreme Emperor like this.
What surprised him even more was that the Supreme Emperor was not annoyed at all, only slightly displeased.
Strange, what kind of immortal is this Li Qing?
Wang Shouren fell into deep thought...
Rational analysis shows that the only person who can talk to the Supreme Emperor like this today, and the Supreme Emperor is not angry... is the famous Marquis of Yongqing Li Qing.
But the problem is...the two of them are not of the same age!
More importantly, this Mrs. Li is the main wife of Commander Li of the Navy. If Li Qing is Li Qing, then Mrs. Li should be called godfather.
When she was in the capital before, Mrs. Li called him Uncle Li. It seems that the two of them are indeed uncle-nephew, but the problem is...
"Hey~!"
"Ah?" Wang Shouren was excited and said nonchalantly, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Li Qing said amusedly, "You were acting like a hungry wolf just now, why don't you eat vegetables now?"
"Eat, eat, eat." Wang Shouren smiled and picked up the chopsticks again.
He shook his head secretly: This relationship is too messy to figure out clearly, so he had to put it aside for the time being and ask Li Qing directly when there is a suitable opportunity.
Not to mention him, Li Qing felt confused.
He and Li Jinglong are close friends, but Li Jinglong's great-grandson calls him godfather. That's all. Zhu Wanqing also has a super generation, and he doesn't follow his husband's family or his mother's family, and he doesn't call his godfather Uncle Li.
It can be said that everyone has his own opinion.
Wang Shouren's sage's brain was not enough when faced with such complicated seniority relationships.
Don't blame him, anyone else would be confused.
At this time, Li Hao, a young man who heard that a guest was coming to his home, came over. When he saw it was Li Qing, he bowed and saluted:
"Grandpa Li."
The last time Li Hong came back, although he didn't tell him any details, he gave him verbal warnings and sent him "kind" fatherly love. Little Li Hao didn't dare to be disapproving of Li Qing anymore.
Huh~ I finally got the relationship right this time... Wang Shouren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was cured to a great extent.
Unexpectedly, he was confused again the next moment.
When Li Hao saw that Zhu Jianshen and Li Qing were talking close to each other, he also called out, "Grandpa."
When Zhu Wanqing heard this, her eyebrows stood up, "What are you calling me? Call me... uncle."
It's chaos again... Wang Shouren is confused: Why shouldn't he be called uncle?
Wang Shouren was filled with pain. What kind of relationship did this family have? Also, even if Li Qing was Li Qing, he shouldn't be one generation older than the Supreme Emperor?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, Sir, Madam, let's talk. It's my first time in Jinling and I want to go out for a walk." Wang Shouren stood up and bowed.
Zhu Wanqing smiled and said: "Let's go after dinner, don't be in a hurry right now."
"No, Xiaosheng is full." Wang Shouren couldn't eat any more. He was thinking about the relationship between the family. If he didn't go for a walk and relax, he would feel panicked. "Stay here, Xiaosheng is gone."
"Remember to come back before dark, and don't go to the brothel!" Li Qing warned worriedly.
Wang Shouren: -_-||“I understand.”
~
"Xiaohao, sit down." Zhu Jianshen pointed to the chair.
"Hey, uncle." Li Hao greeted and sat down at Wang Shouren's seat. He didn't mind it. He picked up Wang Shouren's chopsticks, stroked his sleeves, and started eating and drinking.
"Li Hao!!" Zhu Wanqing couldn't stand her son's generous temper.
"Mom, what's wrong with me?" Li Hao looked aggrieved.
"you……"
"Okay Wanqing, I think Xiaohao has a pretty good character." Zhu Jianshen smiled and stopped the girl who was about to go crazy.
As if Li Hao had met his confidant, he patted his chest and cupped his hands: "Uncle, you understand me."
"You're a piece of shit..." Zhu Wanqing was so angry that if Uncle Li and her eldest brother weren't here, she would have let her son experience the whipping in the hands of a loving mother.
She took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Li."
"Um?"
"At my age, it's not too late to have another child, right?"
"Well...it's not too late, but...it's not necessary!" Li Qing said with a smile, "Xiao Hao is already so old, you can have a grandson in a few years."
"Grandpa Li is right." Li Hao agreed, "Mom, leave the important task of opening up the Li family to your children. I will marry more..."
"roll!!"
"...Yes." Seeing his mother getting angry, Li Hao shrank his neck and jumped up, very cleverly.
Zhu Wanqing sighed bitterly: "This child is considered useless. He is not good at literature and martial arts. He can even play with abacus beads..."
Zhu Jianshen pondered for a moment and said: "Li Hong is still young and in good health. He still has a lot of time in the future. Xiao Hao has no intention of pursuing an official career and there is no need to force it. There is nothing wrong with being a rich man. As the teacher said, there is no need to It’s too late to raise grandchildren.”
After a pause, he said: "If possible, it would be better to develop a descendant to enter the official career and take over Li Hong's class, not only for the sake of my husband, but also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Brother is right."
Li Qing said, "Let's just let it happen. If our grandchildren have the heart and want the materials, they will naturally have to cultivate them. If they don't, there is no need to force them."
"Uncle Li, don't worry, Wanqing knows the pros and cons." Zhu Wanqing nodded, but her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, her face full of hatred that iron could not turn into steel.
"Well..." Li Qing smiled and comforted: "It's not surprising that young people can be rebellious. Take Wang Shouren who came with us as an example. He is a few years older than Xiao Hao, but he is much more rebellious than Xiao Hao. Already..."
Barabara......gōΠb.ōγg
She is always afraid of comparison in everything. With Wang Shouren as a negative example for comparison, Zhu Wanqing immediately felt more comfortable. Although her son was a little out of touch, at least he didn't cause trouble for her and didn't run around all day.
"Uncle Li, since he is so... out of character, if you let him out, aren't you afraid that he will get into trouble?" Zhu Wanqing asked.
"Well, it shouldn't happen. He is getting married, and he is not a fool." Li Qing said this with a guilty conscience, and he faintly regretted it.
This guy likes to reason with people the most, but he doesn't want to get beaten up if he gets into trouble!
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Southern Zhili, where there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, but the son of the number one scholar is really not ranked high here.
He took the person away from Wang Hua. If Wang Shouren was really bullied, he would not be able to explain it later.
Li Qing stood up and said: "I'm going to find him. You brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good chat."
~
"Where has this guy gone?"
Li Qing visited a brothel, a pear garden, and a teahouse... He walked around but found no one.
When he returned to his house, he still didn't see Wang Shouren. Seeing that it was almost the end of Shenshi, Li Qing began to panic.
Where have people gone?
"Hi~ By the way, the temple!"
Li Qing remembered what Wang Shouren had said about Buddhist culture before, and immediately rushed to the largest temple nearby.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the temple, he saw Wang Shouren running out of it, muttering angrily: "He has six impure roots, do you blame me?"
"Xiaoyun!"
Wang Shouren, who was running out, was startled. When he turned around and saw it was him, he hurriedly shouted: "Sir, run quickly!"
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, "Why are you running..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw seven or eight fierce-looking monks running out, each holding a long stick. They looked like they wanted to eat people.
When Wang Shouren saw that everyone was chasing him, he ran away without even bothering to explain.
Li Qing didn't understand what was happening, but he knew that Wang Shouren was going to be beaten, so he quickly followed him.
He was incredibly fast and easily caught up with Wang Shouren, saying angrily: "Why on earth did you provoke this person?"
Wang Shouren was not in good health. He gasped and said, "You really don't blame me. I just burned incense and chatted with the eminent monk for a while, and that's all they did."
"Stop, stop for the poor monk...!"
Li Qing looked back and saw that people were almost catching up.
"Fart!" Li Qing scolded: "You are lying. If you don't tell the truth, I won't care about you anymore."
Wang Shouren was already weak, so when he spoke to Li Qing, he suddenly lost his temper, his stomach twitched, and his legs lost strength, so he could only say truthfully:
"We just chatted for a while. I really didn't want that eminent monk to return to secular life!"
"..."
Li Qing was also convinced.
Half out of anger, half out of submission, this guy can actually say that there is no one else who can say that an eminent monk has returned to secular life.
Obviously, the eminent monk was very famous and was probably the money-spinner of the temple. Otherwise, these monks would not be jealous.
What a troublemaker... Li Qing gritted his teeth, he finally understood Lao Wang's pain.
