'Dang Dang Dang...'
The door knocker knocked three times, and the young man waited quietly. Under his calm appearance, there was an excited heart.
After a while, the door opened and the boy stuck his head out.
"Who is this young master?"
"My surname is Li, and it's... Forget it, Mrs. Li, who is Mr. Li Xiaohou at home?" the young man asked.
"The young master is busy, and the madam is at home..." the young man asked, "Who are you?"
"Go and report to Mrs. Li. She will recognize me as soon as she comes."
The boy was a little confused, but seeing that the young man was confident, he didn't dare to ask for help, "Wait a moment."
After a while, Zhu Wanqing followed the boy and walked quickly. When he saw the person at the door, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Who are you?"
Li Xueer put down the small bamboo basket and took off her scholar's hat. Her thick black hair poured down like a waterfall. She tore off the two mustaches on her lips and said with a smile:
"What now?"
"Xue, Xue, Xue'er?" Zhu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, "Daughter, my daughter, my mother thought she would never see you again."
The old mother burst into tears.
Li Xueer felt more and more guilty, hugged her mother, and burst into tears, "Mom, my daughter is unfilial."
"No more, no more, just come back and come home quickly."
Zhu Wanqing held her daughter's hand and held it tightly, fearing that if she let go, her daughter would disappear again. She walked very fast. As she walked in, the joy and excitement on her face gradually disappeared and was replaced by anger.
As soon as she entered the hospital for the second time and before entering the living room, her hand moved away from Li Xueer's little hand and grabbed her ear instead.
"Mother, please don't do this. My daughter knows she was wrong." Li Xueer shouted, "My ears are going to fall off."
Zhu Wanqing had a stern look on her face and without saying a word, she took her into the living room.
"sit down!"
Li Xueer didn't dare to be stubborn and sat down obediently, feeling uneasy.
"Hands out!"
Li Xueer stretched out her hand.
But she saw her mother conjure a willow branch out of nowhere, and before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her palm.
"Ah!" Li Xueer screamed.
Zhu Wanqing acted as if she hadn't heard anything, "piapia..." waving the willow branches and cursing, "I want you to run away from home, I want you to run away from home..."
She was extremely angry and frightened.
She was happy when her daughter came back, but she was very angry when her daughter ran away from home.
Naturally, the attack was a bit ruthless.
After a while, Li Xueer's palms were bloody and bloody, and tears were falling from her eyes. She did not dare to resist.
At this time, the servant came to report again:
"Madam, there is someone outside the door asking to see you, saying his surname is Li..."
"Go away, I won't see anyone." Zhu Wanqing yelled, holding on to her hand, and after a while, "Stretch out the other hand as well."
"Mom, I really know my mistake."
"Stretch out!"
"Ah~ah~ah~ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…” Li Xue’er was in pain.
At this time, the young man left and came back, saying: "Madam, that man insists that you go out to meet him. I think he is extraordinary..."
"Let me welcome him? Who is he?" Zhu Wanqing was even more angry, "Get out, if you bother me again, get out of here."
"Yes." The boy's face turned green and he ran away in a hurry.
It's really hard to be a servant in the Yongqing Hou Mansion. It's not that the master treats me harshly. In fact, the treatment is very good, but I just don't last long. I heard people say that the Hou Mansion changes a batch of servants every year. It's really a rumor. That's right... The young man trotted to the gate and said:
"My wife told you to get out."
Li Qing was so stunned that his cerebellum shrank, and he said nonchalantly:
"Did you tell her that a young man named Li was looking for her?"
"I told you." The boy urged, "You should leave quickly, otherwise, I will be implicated by you."
"I..." Li Qing touched his nose, a little doubtful about life, and at the same time, he was also extremely angry.
If it weren't for the broad daylight, jumping over the courtyard wall wouldn't be an option. He would have to go in and help her retrieve her childhood memories.
It's the other way around... Li Qing gritted his teeth.

"Reverse, reverse..." Zhu Wanqing got angrier and angrier, and the angrier she became, the harder her hand got...
Li Xueer was in so much pain that she simply ran away.
"How dare you, Shuzi?"
"The Master said: The small stick is for suffering, the big stick is for walking away. Mother, you are so angry that it would be unfilial for your daughter not to leave!" Li Xueer burst into tears and screamed in pain, "It hits my daughter, but it hurts my mother's heart..."
"Stop, stop for me!!"
Li Xueer didn't dare to stop. If she continued to pump her, her hands would be useless, so she rushed out.
It’s okay not to wait in this Marquis Mansion!
"Stop this stinky girl."
"Who dares to stop me?!" Li Xueer scolded, moving faster.
No one really dared to stop her.
It's not that the servants listen to Li Xue'er more, but because Li Xue'er is a girl, physical contact is too offensive, and the food in the Hou Mansion is so delicious, they don't want to pack up and leave.
But it didn't work without any indication. They pretended to try their best, but they were half a beat too slow.
"Give in, give in quickly."
Li Qing, who had just turned around, turned back and said in surprise: "Xiao Xue'er?"
Li Xueer was also stunned, "Li, Grandpa Li?"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Wanqing chased him out with a willow stick, and said with a sinister smile: "Li Xue'er, I have to skin you today..."
"Why don't you see who's back?" Li Xue'er puffed out her chest, the villain succeeded | Geniuses remember romance in one second o m.
Zhu Wanqing raised her eyes and asked, "Li, Uncle Li?"
"Hey, do you still recognize me as Uncle Li?" Li Qing sneered.
"I..." Zhu Wanqing suddenly remembered what happened just now and couldn't help but trembled, "Uncle Li, it was a misunderstanding just now, it was this girl..."
"Grandpa Li, look..." Li Xueer cried and spread her hands, shocking.
With just one glance, Li Qing frowned, "Let's go in and talk."
~
Living room.
Li Qing didn't drink tea either, and said solemnly: "She is your daughter!"
Zhu Wanqing said weakly, "Uncle Li, you don't know..."
"If you can't talk about something properly, why would you be so cruel?"
"She just came back from running away from home." Zhu Wanqing said.
"Ah?" Li Qing hesitated and looked at Li Xue'er.
Li Xueer said sarcastically: "Grandpa Li, I, I just want to go out and have a look."
"You really should fight!" Li Qing turned the gun, "Why is my daughter running around like this? Huh?"
…
After a while, Li Qing lost some of his anger and was no longer in the mood to argue with Zhu Wanqing, saying:
"Where is Li Hong now?"
"Fujian is at the final stage, and it is estimated that they will be back in half a year at the latest." Zhu Wanqing said.
"Half a year..." Li Qing pondered for a moment. This time was not long, and he was not in a hurry. He just took advantage of this gap to take care of Zhu Jianshen's affairs.
"Wanqing, when he comes back, let him..." Li Qing paused and said to Li Xueer: "You go out first, and I will tell your mother something."
"Can't I even listen?" Li Xue'er muttered sadly, but she was very aware of current affairs, "Grandpa Li, mother, you guys talk."
After she left, Li Qing said:
"When Hong'er comes back, you ask him to report to the emperor, and say it's time for the navy to show off the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Wanqing hesitated and said: "Uncle Li, the navy is going on a large-scale overseas trip, but it will cost a lot of money. Will the emperor agree?"
"Yes, this matter was planned when your elder brother was still alive. The current emperor knows the stakes." Li Qingdao, "He also knows the inside story of taking the capital route, but he doesn't know my identity."
"That's it..." Zhu Wanqing nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll tell Brother Hong when he comes back."
After a pause, "Uncle Li is in a hurry to leave?"
"I still have to do something for your elder brother." Li Qing nodded.
"What?"
"Keep it secret!"
"...Let's take a rest before we go." Zhu Wanqing said, "When Brother Hong is finished, we will go to Shu, and the emperor agrees, gather the navy, and set sail...it will take almost a year, why are you in such a hurry?"
After a pause, he sighed: "I can't control this damn girl anymore, please help me."
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Sure."

"Grandpa Li, your herbal medicine is really effective. After applying it, it is so cold that it doesn't hurt much anymore." Li Xueer said with a smile. It was obvious that her little hands were still wrapped like rice dumplings. The scars were not healed, but she had forgotten the pain. .
Li Qing also lost his temper and sighed:
"Xiao Xue'er, what Grandpa Li said in the past was all nonsense. Don't take it seriously. At your age... you are considered an older woman."
Li Xueer pursed her lips and said: "Grandpa Li, let me tell you the truth. I only meant what I said, but I still knew the world in my heart. I didn't take it seriously. I just wanted to follow my heart and use your words as a shield. In fact, , I feel like a bright mirror in my heart."
"Then why did you...?"
"Don't give in!"
Li Xueer's eyes were bright and she said happily: "I long for the love like my mother and father, and I also want to marry a man that I like and likes like my mother... In short, I don't want to be casual."
She said infatuatedly: "Eldest brother always says that daddy is afraid of mommy, but daddy is not afraid. He just loves mommy. For this reason, he doesn't have to take concubines."
Why is this still a love brain? Li Qing was speechless: "You are already so old, how many years of youth do you still have?"
"If I really can't meet her, I won't get married." Li Xue'er said, "This time I went to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I also thought about it. I don't have to follow the path of getting married in life."
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "If you think like this now, when you get older, it will be too late to regret it!"
"Well, this is the age of men. No one says anything if a man marries sixteen when he is sixty. On the contrary..." Li Qing asked: "Do you think it is realistic?"
Li Xueer thought for a long time and said: "Maybe one day I will regret it like Grandpa Li said, but I can't convince myself now;
I know you are worried, and I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I don’t want that! "
Li Xueer's face was full of bitterness: "Grandpa Li, forced love is not beautiful. You will only make Xueer feel burdened and feel guilty."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Zhu Wanqing walked out from behind the screen, feeling extremely regretful, "I shouldn't have said that to you, let alone pamper you like my father pampered me... I was originally afraid that you would suffer in the future, but in the end... ...But I missed you!"
Zhu Wanqing reflected on herself: "It's better for women to be dumb and not too smart. The next generation of girls can no longer be educated like this."
