Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 61 A Homecoming
Lao Tzu's salute to his son is naturally a joke.

In this era of advocating filial piety, even if the son's official position is higher than that of the father, the son should still kneel. It is absolutely impossible for the father to salute his son. This is called "big rebellion".

The news of Li Qinzai's dismissal made Li Siwen quite relieved, and his eyes were much softer than before.

He can really feel now that his son is indeed different from before,

Li Siwen never expected Li Qinzai to have much promise, he just hoped that his son would get into trouble less, hang out with cronies less, and live this life in a down-to-earth manner.

Unexpectedly, Li Qinzai gave him such a big surprise now.

From the perspective of the family, Li Qinzai is even more outstanding than his father, because Li Qinzai is an official with real ability, while Li Siwen, to put it bluntly, is in his father's honor.

This can't help but make him feel a little ashamed.

Li Siwen couldn't help looking at his son, just as Li Qinzai was also looking at him, their eyes met, Li Siwen quickly looked away, and coughed a few times pretending to be majestic.

There is very little communication between father and son, and even a little more communication makes each other feel uncomfortable.

Those old things, after all, are still a natural moat between father and son.

Seeing that everyone was very happy, Li Cui stepped forward and took the opportunity to say to Li Ji: "Aunt, the emperor has made a great career, are you going to invite relatives, friends and colleagues in the house to celebrate?"

Li Ji's expression sank, he shook his head and said, "No."

Li Cui lowered his head in disappointment, and said unrelentingly: "Ah Weng, Qin Zai finally showed his face to our Li family, and it is human nature to hold a banquet..."

Li Ji glanced at Li Qinzai, then suddenly smiled and said, "Qinzai, what do you think?"

Li Qinzai looked at Li Cuishi, and said honestly: "My grandson thinks it's not appropriate to hold a banquet."

Li Cuishi snorted and poked his head bitterly.

However, Li Ji stroked his beard and laughed happily: "That's right, it's really not suitable to hold a banquet. Qin Zai has grown up, and has already understood the disadvantages of a big tree attracting wind. Keeping a low profile and forbearance is the long-term way for a family."

Li Qinzai smiled shyly: "Grandson didn't think too much about it, but felt that there were too many guests and it was too noisy, and grandson's wine was not good, and if he drank too much, he might not be able to help but blow their heads..."

…………

The news that Li Qinzai was summoned by the emperor to the palace to play against him, and was appointed as a military weapon supervisor, quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

All the dignitaries in Chang'an City were shocked. Li Qinzai's past reputation was well known throughout the city. No one thought that the prodigal son of the Li family would have such a glorious day.

People's hearts are always seeking profit, and today's dignitaries no longer look at Li Qinzai with the kind of mocking eyes.

In addition to being shocked, many people who didn't know the inside story began to ask what Li Qinzai had done recently and why the emperor favored him so much.

People's hearts always seek profit. Seeing that Li Qinzai has transformed from a notorious playboy to a hot potential stock, the trend of Chang'an City's discussion behind Li Qinzai has quietly changed.

The debauchery and bad deeds of the past, from people's mouths, are just unrestrained and uninhibited, playing with the world of mortals, and having the style of celebrities.

Who wasn't a scumbag when he was young.

Inside the Li family mansion.

Li Zhi allowed Li Qinzai not to enter the court, not to enter the office, and to ignore politics.

Li Qinzai was really not polite to Li Zhi. After he was banned from the Military Weapons Supervisor, he never even went to the Military Weapons Supervisor, and he never went out after returning home.

Xue Na and Gao Qi came early in the morning.

Xue Na knew the way, so he went straight to the front yard after entering the door.

The reclining chairs were moved, the low table was set up, snacks and fermented glutinous rice were indispensable, and ordering the maids in the mansion to do this and that was more relaxed than at home.

In contrast, Gao Qi is more shy.

Most people in this day and age still know etiquette, and if you do this kind of thing casually in other people's homes, unless the relationship is good enough, no one is really so arrogant.

The so-called "guests feel at home" is just an idiom, it is a polite sentence, and it does not really make guests treat other people's homes as their own.

So Gao Qi, apart from being shy and cautious, dislikes Xue Na's behavior in the Li family.

The mere son of a man from Hedong County dared to be so rampant and rude in the British government. I really hoped that Xue Na's deadly appearance would be seen by Mr. Li, and finally he brazenly ordered this evil beast to have its legs broken and thrown out.

But Gao Qi was disappointed in the end, not only did Xue Na's rampant behavior not be broken, but he seemed to have become accustomed to the demeanor of the servants in the mansion. He obviously regarded Xue Na as a close guest, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant.

Finally Li Qinzai came out, Gao Qi hurriedly straightened his clothes and saluted, but Xue Na was still lying on the recliner, and raised his hand casually to greet him.

Li Qinzai was surprised when he saw Gao Qi, he looked a little confused, and subconsciously bowed back.

"Why is Brother Gao Xian here again?" Li Qinzai blurted out without thinking.

Gao Qi's expression froze, these words...a bit hurtful.

But to Li Qinzai, these words really don't hurt anyone, they come from the heart.

He didn't have much ill feeling towards Gao Qi, but he didn't have much good feeling towards Gao Qi either. He had made it clear last time that the two of them had settled their grievances, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any interaction in the future.

But this Gao Qi seems to be addicted to coming to his own house, time and time again, everyone is not that familiar, okay...

Could it be that he was still thinking about paying for the meal last time, and felt that he didn't eat enough, so he had to finish the meal before giving up?
Turning his gaze, Li Qinzai saw Xue Na who was sitting or lying down, his lazy appearance like a mentally retarded and paralyzed patient was extremely annoying.

Li Qinzai was suddenly furious, and stepped forward to slap his hands bluntly.

Snapped!
Xue Na was so drawn that he saw the sky full of stars in broad daylight.

"Go away, you have no eyesight, this position is mine!" Li Qinzai said angrily.

Xue Na got up with a smile, gave the reclining chair to Li Qinzai, and loudly ordered the servant girl to bring two more reclining chairs.

"Brother Jingchu's reclining chair is really amazing. My brother Yu found it extremely comfortable to lie on, and he only dreamed of sweet dreams. Brother Jingchu can't just give it to Gao's family for such a good thing. Brother Yu also wants a few sets..."

Li Qinzai lay on the recliner, closed his eyes and said lazily: "Go and tell my mother, let her order the carpenter to make some sets for you."

Xue Na happily agreed.

Gao Qi on the side saw the behavior and conversation of the two of them, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Li Qinzai's attitude towards the two of them was completely different.

He was polite to Gao Qike, bowed and returned the salute meticulously, but beat and scolded Xue Na, without saying a good word.

But Gao Qi can clearly feel the difference between intimacy and distance.

In Li Qinzai's eyes, Gao Qi was a pure outsider, so he was polite to him, which was full of alienation.

But he treats Xue Na like his own brother, and beating and scolding at every turn has become a way of expressing his feelings.

The gap between people is that big.

Although it's a bit mean, but I have to say that Gao Qi is very eager for Li Qinzai to slap him...

　Thank you "I want to fight together" for being Mengmeng's cute host, brother Taiwan is a bit unfamiliar, he should be a new friend.
