Chapter 101 Blind date (2)

When Li Qing first entered the door, Mrs. Cui looked at Li Qing who came to the banquet on the side of the street. This was her usual style. She saw countless people. She believed that if she wanted to see a person's true nature, she had to observe it from the details. Especially behind her, the behavior of the person is often very different from when she met. She could best see a person's nature. When she saw Li Qing being called into the house by a group of East Palace guards, her brows frowned slightly. These East Palace guards were unable to lose their lives on weekdays.

Among them is her most disliked nephew who is brave and brave. Thinking about the fact that others come to blind dates, they are all Jinshi, well-educated, and only wear green clothes and hats, and are alone, and they are unspeakable. The person in front of her, not to mention that her appearance does not satisfy her, the master said that he is not even a juren and has worked as a businessman. I really don’t know what the master likes him, but Mrs. Cui doesn’t know that Li Qing didn’t know about blind dates at all. If he didn’t support her, his life might be out of order.

At this time, seeing Li Qing on the dining table, Mrs. Cui's face gradually became gloomy. She was the old princess, so she would not be rude in front of outsiders. Seeing her daughter silent, her performance was quite satisfying. Only the master was picking up food and cloth wine, which was a little too enthusiastic. 'Nothing is better than a wife'. Mrs. Cui remembered a rumor I heard recently and glanced at Li Qing and said, "I heard that the rice price in Chang'an has risen to fifty cents per dou, and last year she had thirty cents. Seeing that the money is becoming less and less valuable, I wonder if Mr. Li has any good ways to prevent the money from depreciating."

Asked by this, if those Jinshi scholars heard it, they would frown and say something about worrying about the country and the people, but Li Qing was most interested in it. He thrust his waist and offered advice to Mrs. Cui, "Mrs. said it well. If you want to prevent the money in your hands from depreciating, there are many ways. The most direct way is to exchange copper coins for gold and silver, maintain value and not occupy space. But if you want to increase the value, I suggest that the wife buy more real estate houses, or buy some famous calligraphy and paintings, antiques and jade. Such things will be more valuable as they get over the years."

Cui Qiao, who was picking up food for Li Qing, also wanted to hear Li Qing's ambition. Unexpectedly, he said such a great economics theory. He couldn't help but be stunned. The chopsticks of picking up food were retracted into his bowl and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this person would be an official. The businessman's nature is still unchanged. He is diligent in making profits and making careful calculations. He is so philanthropic. He really recruited him as his son-in-law and humiliated my family."

The desire to recruit a son-in-law weakened, Cui Qiao also lost her hospitality, and the atmosphere on the table gradually became awkward. At this time, Li Huqin couldn't bear it and stood up and bowed, "Auntie, uncle, today is the Spring Festival, I can't stay outside for a long time, I want to take a step first."

"You go! Say hello to the prince on my behalf."

Cui Qiao also didn't like Li Hugen, who didn't read poetry and books. He first saw him coming uninvited, and then he was restless like a monkey. He had long been disgusted in his heart. He wanted him to leave quickly, so he didn't leave him and let him go.

Li Huqin seemed to be about to suffocate and suddenly found a breathing hole. He felt really happy in his heart. He couldn't help but wink at Li Qing, saying that you would go with me too, but Li Qing was thinking about the matter of the curtain and kicked him hard below, asking him to leave later. Li Huqin didn't understand what he meant. He was just confused, but suddenly glanced at his cousin who was dressed up in a deliberate way. He suddenly realized in his heart that this was a blind date. Since that was the case, why did he get involved in this? He smiled at Li Qing ambiguously, turned around and slapped his butt and ran away.

Unexpectedly, Cui Qiao saw Li Qing ignoring Li Hugen's eyes, and thought Li Qing was disgusted with a rough man like Li Hugen. His mind, who was about to die, suddenly became resurrected. He poured a glass of wine for Li Qing and laughed: "Actually, I also love to collect jade, but it is not for profit. It is purely a gentleman's favor. If a nephew sees any good jade, he might as well pay attention to it for me."

When Li Qing saw Li Hujian running away, he was very worried that there would be Li Linfu's people waiting outside the door. Although Liang'er's affairs were important, they could ask again in the future, but if his life was gone, Liang'er would become a widow.

He was about to say goodbye, but suddenly heard Cui Qiao ask this. This was a great opportunity to test Yan'er's life experience. After hesitating for a moment, the butt that had just left the chair sat down again, and said in his heart: "Maybe Li Linfu's people know that they have been protected by the prince, so they should not dare to arrest him without authorization!" The idea of ​​saying goodbye was closed again.

He smiled slightly, "Uncle Shi, I know where there is a piece of top-quality jade."

"Is that?" Cui Qiao's interest suddenly increased. He leaned forward and his eyes were hot, as if a lustful person had discovered a single beautiful lady. "Tell me quickly, where did you see it?"

"Uncle Shi, why not let me take a look at your jade first."

In the study, Cui Qiao took out a few pieces of good ancient jade, sat at the desk and introduced it proudly, then looked sideways and smiled, "How about it? How about the piece of jade you mentioned?"

Li Qing tried hard to recall the shape of the jade on the curtain, and then he looked closely at the slightest change of expression on Cui Qiao's face, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, that piece of superb jade was seen by a seventeen-year-old girl. It was only half of it, and the jade was green. If combined with the other half, it should be a chicken-ovate shape."

Cui Qiao slowly showed an incredible look, his lips trembled. He subconsciously touched his chest and swallowed with difficulty. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly seemed to feel something, and his eyes quickly looked at the door, but he saw an unusually cold look in the crack of the door, and the air was about to freeze and solidify. He looked straight at his neck. His face suddenly changed drastically, paler than the moonlight outside. He had never seen her look like this. The muscles on Cui Qiao's face began to tremble one by one, and squeezed out a smile, as if he was laughing to cater to her. He didn't want to laugh at all, but only fear.

Mrs. Cui sneered gently, pushed open the door and walked in, then slowly turned her head to look at Li Qing, "You said that girl is seventeen years old, right?"

At this time, Li Qing had already guessed eight or nine points. Cui Qiao was Lian'er's biological father, and the other half of jade was now hanging around Cui Qiao's neck. He nodded helplessly and wanted to ask quietly, but this woman was actually more sensitive than a cat.

"Thank you!" A cold thank you burst out from Mrs. Cui's thin lips. She walked behind him, pressed her husband's shoulder with her fat white hands, and then pinched the back of his neck and chuckled softly: "Master, follow me, I have something to say to you."

Cui Qiao's eyes were already showing despair, and his body curled up into a small ball, like a little insect being pressed and fiddled by the claws of an old hen. At this time, he was no longer a dignified Dali Temple Minister, but a poor man who was about to be repaired by his wife. Mrs. Cui's body like a mountain covered Cui Qiao's figure. The couple walked towards the back hall one after another. After only turning a corner, they heard Cui Qiao's low pleading, followed by a loud slap, followed by the sound of tearing the clothes open, and finally only heard Cui Qiao's painful whimpering, poor man!

Li Qing returned to the mat and took the opportunity to slip away. At this time, Miss Cui, who had been silent, suddenly became active. She seemed to have not seen what was happening in front of her, nor did she hear the sound from the inner hall. She was like a butterfly that had just broken out of the cocoon. She flew half a circle and stopped beside Li Qing, laughed, pulled him down, and asked straight to the point: "Have you seen my cousin Princess Pingyang?"

Li Qing sat opposite her. The bamboo basket containing fruits on the table blocked his sight. He only hurriedly looked at her when he was presenting. When he saw her sitting beside him, he looked at her carefully. She should be the half-sister of Jian'er, but she looked completely different from Jian'er. Jian'er looked like her father Cui Qiao, with a petite figure, big and round eyes, and a crescent-shaped curve when she smiled. However, Jian'er's sister looked like her mother, with a tall and plump figure, wide and round shoulders, thick and sexy lips, and her two phoenix eyes were thin and long. When she smiled, she disappeared and turned into an inverted triangle. Overall, she looked pretty and had fair and delicate skin, but a big black mole on the corner of her mouth made people unwilling to stay on her face for a long time.

After Li Qing finished looking, he wanted to give her a honest advice, that is, don’t sit with her mother during a blind date, so that people can easily think of her future appearance, and the success rate of this blind date can be imagined.

When she heard her ask about Li Jingyan, Li Qing smiled casually and said, "How come I haven't seen the famous Princess Leng before?"

Cui Liuliu became more interested when she heard this, and leaned on the table and asked him, "Who do you think is more beautiful or not?" This is the question she would ask whenever she saw every young man she had just met, just as if the queen in Snow White always asked the magic mirror.

Seeing Li Qing looking at him in surprise again, she smiled charmingly, jumped up, held the edge of the grenade skirt with her hand and gently spread it out, posing in an elegant posture.

Even though Li Qing had been to the Tang Dynasty for many years and had become accustomed to the openness and boldness of the Tang women, what he saw today made him more knowledgeable, "This, this, you are taller than her. She is too cold and does not have your enthusiasm."

When Cui Liuliu saw Li Qing talking about him, she couldn't help but feel coquettish: "I'm asking you, who is beautiful?"

"Beautiful, huh! I really can't remember what Princess Leng looks like." He only remembered a famous person who said that if a young woman asked you about her appearance, even if she looked like a pig, you wouldn't be able to say it.

Although Cui Liuliu is big, her heart is a stubborn person. Who is beautiful or Li Jingyan? This is a topic she has been studying since childhood. All men compliment her for being beautiful, but today Li Qing's vague answer shakes her confidence. This is the kind of psychology of a woman. Ten thousand men praise her for being beautiful is not as good as a man saying that she is not beautiful.

She stomped her little barbarian boots and was about to ask again, but she saw a little maid turning her head and laughing secretly. She was angry and moved forward to grab the little maid's hair, and slapped her left and right. The little maid was immediately scared to kneel down to the ground. Thinking of the consequences of the lady's anger, she covered her face and trembled all over. Cui Liuliu was about to raise her foot and kick her again, but Li Qing grabbed her arm and pulled it back to the chair to sit down. He glanced at the little maid who was so scared that she was unbearable, and smiled faintly: "If you are more elegant, then I will admit that you are beautiful."

At this moment, Li Qing refused to tell Lian'er the truth. Such a cowardly father, such a fierce stepmother, such a willful and rude sister, and such a disgusting family, it would be better if this family would not recognize her!

At this time, footsteps came from the inner hall, which scared Cui Liuliu so much that she quickly sat back on her original position and continued to drink her soup obediently. Mrs. Cui walked out alone, and a crack was barely opened on her face covered by dark clouds, revealing a trace of sunshine. Then the dark clouds closed again, "Mr. Li, I am not well served today, please forgive me. The lanterns outside are bright tonight. Mr. Li, please go and see the lanterns, and welcome to come and play again next day."

Seeing that she never mentioned the curtain, Li Qing issued an order to expel her guests. Knowing that they didn't want to recognize this kiss, he smiled coldly, "I'm so sorry, it has disturbed your mood, so I'll take a step first."

"Mom! I want to go and see the lights with Mr. Li." Cui Liuliu, who was beside him, suddenly stood up.

Mrs. Cui looked at her in surprise, then looked at Li Qing again, her face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and from purple to white. She snorted heavily and scolded her daughter angrily, saying, "A daughter's family is not afraid of embarrassing to say such things. Go back to my room and don't allow you to go downstairs."

Cui Liuliu was scolded by her mother in front of Li Qing, and her eyes slowly turned red. She stomped her feet desperately, twisted her shoulders and ran out through the side door crying.

Li Qing shook his head, turned around and strode out of the mansion. Mrs. Cui stared at his back, her teeth clattered, and two strands of flesh appeared on her white and fat face. She said to herself: "That bitch from the sect actually gave birth to a daughter for him. She had been hiding me for seventeen years."

Her eyes were flashing with fierce light, she slowly rolled up her sleeves, exposed her thick arms, picked up the candlestick to the ground, and rushed towards the inner hall like crazy.

Li Qing walked out of Cui's mansion and felt depressed. He originally wanted to find out the life experience of Yan'er and surprise her, but he didn't expect it would be this ending. While he walked, he thought about Cui Qiao's pitifulness. The ending of marrying a woman in the royal family was like this. I really don't know what he thought at the beginning, a stupid man!

After walking nearly three hundred steps, Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of intuition. Later, someone was following him. He turned around and in the thick night, a black shadow flashed quickly behind the tree twenty steps away. His heart suddenly became nervous. Li Linfu still refused to let him go. Looking around, every household was locked in the door, maybe he went to see the lights. The alley was very long and dark, and there was no one, at least two hundred steps away from the entrance of the alley.
