Li Qinghuan

Chapter 79

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the weather became much colder.

As soon as Ji Luoyan recovered from his injury, he followed Yuan Qingyang and He Li to get up early to practice martial arts, and he didn't want to delay for a day.

As soon as Baozi entered the twelfth lunar month, he seldom got out of bed, and slept until the sun was shining every day before slowly getting up to look for Ji Luoyan.

Days and nights in the mountains are always only in an instant, and more than a month has passed in a flash, and it is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month when the snow falls in Pingyao.

He Li stood under the eaves and reached out to catch a snowflake.

Ji Luoyan and Baozi stood beside him without saying a word, quietly watching the mountain forest covered with snow, as if a young man in his prime turned gray overnight.

He Li stared into the distance without moving, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Baozi suddenly said, "Master, it's snowing."

He Li nodded: "I see."

Baozi: "Let's go back, it's cold outside."

He Li turned his head to look at the two children beside him: "You guys go back first, I'll stay later."

Baozi: "Then I will accompany you, Young Master."

He Li shook his head: "No need, falling smoke hurts just right, not freezing."

Ji Luoyan looked up at him, and said expressionlessly, "It's okay."

He Li chuckled, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that Ji Luoyan was very similar to Ji Qing, not because of his looks, but because of the stubbornness in his bones.

Ji Luoyan was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

He Li stopped laughing and coughed lightly: "Little girl, I suddenly feel that you look like your brother."

Ji Luoyan frowned and said nothing, she didn't know why He Li said this suddenly.

Baozi patted Ji Luoyan's shoulder: "I also think it's pretty similar, but the pretty brother should be gentler."

Ji Luoyan gave Baozi a hard look.

He Li smiled, with a smile in his eyes: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being like your brother."

Ji Luoyan nodded without saying a word.

He Li sat down leaning against the pillar, and turned his gaze back to the forest: "Baozi, go and warm a pot of wine for me."

"Okay!" Baozi responded and ran away.Only Ji Luoyan and He Li were left under the eaves.

Ji Luoyan imitated He Li and sat on the railing: "Brother knew at the time that he was likely to lose his life, didn't he?"

He Li suddenly turned his head: "What?"

Ji Luoyan lowered his head: "Otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to send us all away."

He Li nodded, he understood everything, and so did Ji Luoyan.

Ji Luoyan said again: "He wants to exchange his life for ours."

He Li didn't speak, he was a little surprised, Ji Luoyan was only over ten years old, but he saw things very clearly.

Ji Luoyan didn't care whether he answered or not, and said to himself: "I don't want to drag him down anymore, this time I was arrested because someone set him up."

He Li murmured: "Luoyan, you..."

Ji Luoyan interrupted him: "I'm fine, I just want to become stronger, strong enough to protect Master, Baozi, and brother."

He Li was shocked by the firmness of her words, he opened and closed his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

With such a flash of divine effort, Baozi ran back with the warm wine.

"My lord, what are you talking to Luo Yan?"

Ji Luoyan stared at He Li for a long while, then turned to look at Baozi: "It's nothing."

The tone was still cold, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Baozi.

Baozi smiled at her, and handed the wine to He Li.

He Li raised his head and took a sip: "Baozi, when I go to the Northwest next year, you can follow Master and Luoyan."

Baozi asked in surprise, "What?"

He Li wiped off the wine from the corner of his mouth: "I said, you can follow Uncle Yuan and Luoyan from now on."

The corners of Baozi's mouth deflated, and two crystal clear tears flowed down the corners of his eyes: "You don't want me, son?"

He Li waved: "Come here."

Baozi obediently took two steps towards him, He Li stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face: "Baozi doesn't cry, it's not that he doesn't want you, but

It's because I went to the northwest to fight, not to play, it would be safer for you to follow Uncle Yuan, besides, wouldn't Luo Yan be with you? "

Ji Luoyan looked at Baozi without saying a word.

Baozi still couldn't stop crying: "But, but."

He Li patted his head: "It's nothing, just be obedient."

Baozi nodded aggrievedly: "Yeah."

He Li looked at Baozi and sighed softly.These years Baozi is like a little tail, He Li follows wherever he goes, if he hadn't been targeted by Song Duan before, He Li would not have handed him over to Ji Qing, firstly for his own convenience, secondly If you want to come to Ji Qing, you won't treat him badly, it's better than living with yourself.

Although He Li is an emperor and nobleman, there are many people around him who he can order around, but there are not many people who are as loyal as Baozi.Baozi is innocent, kind, and younger than himself. Over the years, He Li has regarded Baozi as his younger brother in his heart.

Seeing that Baozi was still crying, He Li patted him on the shoulder: "Don't cry, Baozi, it's cold, be careful to freeze your face."

Baozi nodded, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but there were still tear marks on his face.

He Li: "Luoyan, you should go back with your buns, it's too cold."

Ji Luoyan said: "What about you?"

He Li turned his head: "Me? I'll stay for a while."

Ji Luoyan was noncommittal, took Baozi, turned around and left.

He Li looked at the backs of the two children and smiled, with indescribable envy, he thought: This is also a childhood sweetheart, right?

What was Ji Qing like when he was a child?It's not that He Li hasn't seen him before, but he was too young at that time, and it was only in a hurry. No matter how He Li rummaged through his memories, he still couldn't remember Ji Qing's appearance at that time, only those bright and pale eyes like amber. It was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He Li lowered his head, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth raised inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at?" A voice suddenly entered his ears.

He Li raised his head and saw that it was Yuan Qingyang who came, he quickly stood up, cupped his fists and bowed: "Master."

Yuan Qingyang waved his hand: "Sit down."

He Li nodded, and sat back on the railing.

Yuan Qingyang leaned on the porch pillar and looked into the distance: "There is so much snow."

He Li followed Yuan Qingyang's gaze: "Yes."

Yuan Qingyang: "Miss him?"

This "he" refers to Ji Qing, of course.

He Li nodded, and said truthfully: "Yes, I miss him."

Yuan Qingyang smiled: "He must miss you too."

He Li lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Yuan Qingyang straightened up: "Come in, Ah Li."

He Li shook his head: "Master, I'll wait a little longer."

Yuan Qingyang nodded: "Okay, I'll be with you."

He Li was stunned for a moment, and thought that those two children were quite good at finding helpers.

"Forget it, let's go back together."

Yuan Qingyang nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go."

There was a stove burning in the room, Qin Yang, Gao Yangsu and the two children were all around the stove, Gao Yangsu was fiddling with tongs in his hand.

Qin Yang frowned: "I don't think I'm familiar yet."

Gao Yangsu thought for a moment: "It should be ripe, the skin is burnt."

Qin Yang took a closer look: "It's possible, why don't you peel one and let the buns taste?"

Gao Yangsu nodded: "I think it's okay."

After saying that, he picked something out of the fire and threw it on the ground.

He Li took a closer look and saw that the ones on the ground were sweet potatoes, and several were still roasting in the fire.

When Gao Yangsu heard the footsteps, he raised his head and said in greeting: "Young master is here? Sit down, Baozi, go get another small stool."

Baozi nodded, pulled out a wooden stool from the side and handed it to He Li: "Sit down, my lord."

He Li took the stool and sat by the fire.

Yuan Qingyang sat down beside He Li and said, "Yang Su, peel one for me too."

Gao Yangsu picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground and patted the ashes, without raising his head, he said, "Uncle Yuan, wait a moment, I don't know if it's cooked or not.

Let Baozi give us a test of poison. "

Yuan Qingyang laughed: "Poor Baozi."

"It's not pitiful, it's not pitiful." Baozi stared at the sweet potato in Gao Yangsu's hand, almost dripping to the ground.

Gao Yangsu peeled off the skin and handed the sweet potato to Baozi.

The steamed stuffed bun blew and bit off half of it in one bite: "It's so sweet! It's ripe."

After getting the exact news, Gao Yangsu picked up the tongs and picked another one, peeled it off and handed it to Yuan Qingyang.

Yuan Qingyang took it with a calm demeanor, and ate it three or two times: "It's really good, Ah Li, you can try it too."

He Li nodded, picked up the tongs at hand and picked one for himself.

The taste is delicate and soft, and Ji Qing must like it.

Qin Yang looked at He Li and ate several of them at once, and said with a smile, "Ji Qing really understands His Highness."

He Li asked in confusion, "What?"

"These sweet potatoes were sent by Ji Qing. He said that the taste is sweet but not greasy, and His Highness will definitely like it." Qin Yang smiled

Explained: "The few of us are all in the honor of His Highness."

Yuan Qingyang smiled and agreed: "Indeed."

He Li: "Is this sweet potato sent by Heming?"

Qin Yang nodded: "That's right, otherwise, you see, can I grow it in a remote village?"

He Li smiled: "He really has a heart."

He Li really liked it. Sweet potatoes were a tribute to foreigners a few years ago, and they were very rare, but He Li used to eat them a lot in the palace.

After being relegated to white body, he didn't think much about it. After hearing Qin Yang's words, he realized that sweet potatoes are still a rare thing among the people.

Ji Qing has a long way to go, I don't know where to get some.

It's just that he still wants to see Ji Qing more than the food.

He Li took a deep breath, trying to suppress the sorrow of parting in his heart.

He Li thought for a while and asked, "Master Qin, are there any sweet potatoes left?"

Qin Yang didn't understand, so he nodded and said, "Also, what's the matter?"

He Li: "If you have a lot left, you can try planting them."

Qin Yang asked doubtfully, "Can this stuff survive?"

He Li nodded: "It should be possible. When I was in the palace, I heard it from Sinon officials."

Qin Yang: "Okay, I'll try."

Yuan Qingyang laughed: "It would be great if I could grow a living, and I will come to the village master Qin to eat next year."

Qin Yang was hearty: "Uncle Yuan will come whenever he wants, and he is waiting for you at any time."

Baozi raised his head: "Can I come?"

Qin Yang nodded: "Of course."

Yuan Qingyang didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed: "It's just that I don't know where I am at this time next year."

Qin Yang asked doubtfully, "Isn't Uncle Yuan used to staying here?"

Yuan Qingyang shook his head and explained: "It's not that you are not good here, but I just want to be farther away from this Yu capital. I really feel that the city of Yu is full of smog, and I really don't want to stay here anymore, I'd better just be a wandering cloud and a wild crane."

Qin Yang nodded and agreed, "Indeed, Uncle Yuan is used to being at ease."

Yuan Xi, who had been eating sweet potatoes with his head down, raised his head suddenly: "Father, then you don't care about my senior brother?"

Yuan Qingyang said bluntly: "Even if I want to, can I control it?"

Yuan Xi thought for a while, and it seemed the same. He lowered his head and stopped talking.

Qin Yang said: "Then when is Uncle Yuan going to leave?"

Yuan Qingyang thought for a while: "Let's wait until Ah Li goes to the northwest, maybe I have to trouble the Lord Qin for a while."

Qin Yang waved his hand: "Where is Uncle Yuan, don't bother me. What about Yuan Xi, shall I go with you?"

Yuan Qingyang looked at Yuan Xi, and said: "He can't leave. Ji Qing became an official in the court and left the business affairs to Yuan Xi. Now Ji Qing's business is all managed by Yuan Xi."

Qin Yang patted Yuan Xi's shoulder with a smile: "Ji Qing left simply, but Yuan Xi suffered, so if everyone says they don't care, they don't care."

Yuan Xi said bitterly: "Isn't it?"

"It's okay, you are all brothers and sisters, what's his is yours, so just think of it as earning money for yourself to marry a wife." Qin Yang joked.

Yuan Xi only thought it was a joke, and nodded indifferently: "It's the same thing whether you can find a wife or not. Just ask my father, are you in a hurry to have a grandson?"

Yuan Qingyang shook his head: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not easy to bring you up, and you even have a grandson. Tell me, do you and Ji Qing make me worry?"

Yuan Xi turned his head away and stopped talking.

He Li watched the two father and son choke each other, chatting about family affairs around the stove, enjoying themselves happily.I was very happy in my heart, and rolled my eyes with a smile.

Gao Yangsu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, how is Ji Qing doing recently? Has anyone sent a letter?"

After his reminder, Qin Yang hurriedly said: "It has been passed on, and it is said that Mr. Zhao Fangren is keeping it. The emperor did not pursue the matter of him hurting Jiming. The official was reinstated. He returned to the court to listen to the government a few days ago."

He Li asked anxiously: "Did he say how his injury is recovering?"

Qin Yang shook his head: "Not really."

He Li let out an "oh" and lowered his head.

Seeing this, Yuan Qingyang comforted, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

He Li didn't speak, but just nodded.

"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, so I have to go back to Yudu to help you see him." Yuan Xi said suddenly.

Yuan Qingyang asked suspiciously: "You want to go down the mountain? Tomorrow will be the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Why are you going down the mountain?"

"There are some things in the business that need to be finished before the end of the year. When such a thing happened earlier, it was all handed over to Mr. Guo, but I have to deal with some things that Mr. Guo can't decide." Yuan Xi explained.

Yuan Qingyang nodded: "Okay, if you go back to Yudu, go and see Ji Qing by the way."

"Okay." Yuan Xi nodded, then looked at He Li again: "Do you have anything to say to him?"

He Li thought for a while, and couldn't find his head for a while. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to say. Help me see if his injury is healed."

"it is good."
