The departure of the youngest son exhausted Zhou Cuicui's patience with his daughter. In the afternoon, several sister-in-laws urged her husband to help repair the house, worrying that Zhou Cuicui would regret it.

Within a few days, Qi Ping had no choice but to live in with a pair of her children.

*****

When Zhang Kuan left the village, he led a group of people along the official road according to the news, and wanted to find Qi Shiqin as soon as possible, but Qi Shiqin did not take the official road. They had already slowed down by riding the carriage. Naturally I want to copy some shortcuts.

After half a month, Zhang Kuan happened to meet a few people who seemed to be the target he was looking for. Tears burst into his heart, he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to delay, he always stayed in the imperial city, and he was pampered, and after sitting on the horse for a few days, he couldn't walk well after he got off.

It was already close to dusk at this time, he walked over with his feet awkwardly, and asked: "Dare to ask who is this son's last name?"

Zhang Kuan met Qi Shiqin when he went to Tianming Mountain with the third prince to rescue him. It has only been two years, and he still has some impressions, just want to confirm again.

Qi Shiqin immediately recognized the identity of this eunuch from this voice, and then glanced at the people behind him, and guessed the origin of these people in his heart. He smiled and said, "Qi Shiqin is here."

Zhang Kuan suddenly laughed, "But General Qi who lives in Dahe Village?"

Qi Shiqin stretched his hand into his arms, took out the tiger charm and showed it to the father-in-law.

After confirming his identity, Zhang Kuan immediately said: "General Qi, it really is you. Our family has brought the divine decree today." Then he opened the decree.

Several people knelt on the ground quickly, listening to Zhang Kuan finish reading the imperial edict, Qi Shiqin took the imperial edict: "Thank you Lord Longen."

After giving the imperial decree, Zhang Kuan hurriedly reached out to help Qi Shiqin, "This is also the rule, and I hope the general will not mind."

Qi Shiqin patted the dust on the clothes indifferently, and said: "It's okay, has father-in-law eaten? Come and join us."

There was no shop in front of the village and no shop at the back. Zhang Kuan thanked him quickly and sat next to the fire. It was cold at night, and it was more comfortable to be on fire, and the whole body was relaxed.

Several people were talking, there were children, and the atmosphere was lively and boring.

When the food was finished, Qi Shiqin took Guoguo, and then took milk fruit to feed him. Zhang Kuan came over and took a look: "The general now has three children, so his life is really fulfilled."

Qi Guo held the milk fruit and sucked hard, his cheeks bulged, and Zhang Kuan refused to look away for a moment. Seeing him like this, Qi Shiqin thought about it and understood why.

The eunuch hadn't been there since he was a child, and he was blinded by people in the palace. This environment caused many distortions in the heart of the eunuchs, and they also acted viciously. But children are pure and flawless, and that kind of innocence is normal for people to love.

Those who grow in the dark do not necessarily yearn for the light, even they desperately desire it.

Qi Shiqin looked at Zhang Kuan too exaggerated. His eyes were gentle as if he was afraid that he would break with a touch. He simply put Qi Guo in Zhang Kuan's arms and said: "My father-in-law, help me take care of the child. Well, I have a lot of drinks here, so it's convenient to go next."

With the little baby in his hand, Zhang Kuan glanced at Qi Shiqin helplessly, only to find that the person had just left, and the other two, Wei Jingshu playing chess with Qi Ge and Lin Yan, did not notice this side. .

He had to bow his head to tentatively coax people.

When Qi Shiqin came back, he reluctantly returned the child. Of course, Qi Shiqin took it back unceremoniously. Of course, he still liked the stinky boy before he grew up to be naughty.

As for the look that Zhang Kuan still wanted to hug, he just couldn't see it. According to his identity, he didn't need to come to please an eunuch. He was kind enough to give him a hug.

He didn't expect to find a giant nanny for his son in this hug.

In the early morning of the second day, they were on their way again, and Qi Shiqin also separated from Zhang Kuan.

After half a month of their journey, they finally came to Yucheng. Seeing the city unaffected by the lively cries, Qi Shiqin's heart was filled with nostalgia.

Qi Ge pulled Qi Shiqin's sleeve, "Daddy, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

He touched his stomach and couldn't wait to taste the unique flavor of the northwest.

Wei Jingshu also said, "Let's eat first." This point just happened to be in time for others to eat.

"Okay, see where you want to go." Qi Shiqin nodded.

Zhou Ling looked at Wei Jingshu and the two children enthusiastically looking for delicious food, and said to Qi Shiqin: "Then I will first go back to the mansion and tell Shizi, the general will come back after dinner."

"it is good."

Qi Shiqin followed them, holding Qi Guo in his hands and it was inconvenient to grab the two children. He could only helplessly say: "Xiao Ge, Xiao Yan, don't run around, follow your father and mother. Xiao Ge, Have you forgotten what happened when you were a kid." You know, Qi Ge was abducted and sold when he was a kid, even though it was deliberately mischievous.

After all, Qi Ge obediently returned to Qi Shiqin. He was small, so he could only grab a section of Qi Shiqin's leg and walk with Qi Shiqin.

This hapless boy, Qi Shiqin suddenly worried that the clothes were torn.

In the end, the few people who were wondering still went to the restaurant that Qi Shiqin used to go to. The folklore here is simple and simple, and it is the style of eating big meat and big bowls of wine. For fear that Wei Jingshu will not be used to eating, Qi Shiqin deliberately fights with others. Say hello.

It was already afternoon when I met with Lin Quan after dinner. As soon as he saw people, Lin Quan immediately ran forward and patted Qi Shiqin on the shoulder, complaining slightly: "I knew you were coming, I kept waiting, but you didn't come here for a long time."

He looked at Wei Jingshu and said, "Hello brother and sister, I am Lin Quan. I played best with him at the beginning."

"Hello." Wei Jingshu nodded politely with a smile, and when he met, he had nothing to say to others.

Lin Quan smiled and said, "Then you can take your wife and children to the yard to have a rest, and we will have a good chat later."

"Yeah." Looking at Lin Quan, Qi Shiqin felt a little complicated, but it was different. At first, the person who was calm on the surface, but actually acted out of control, precipitated a lot in an instant. If you can, the price of growth is not so painful.

The yard was where he used to live, and there were often people cleaning it. Now it's no problem to live directly. As for the two children, they live not far from them. Lin Quan probably heard Zhou Ling talk about the presence of a baby, and it didn't take long for him to find a nanny.

They brought a lot of things, mainly some clothes, bracelets and hair bands that Wei Jingshu liked.

Because Qi Shiqin didn't like outsiders, Wei Jingshu put all these things in order.

When Qi Shiqin arrived in Yucheng, Zhang Kuan had already returned to Beijing and returned to life.

Yuan Zong said, "Why did it take so long?"

It's been half a month.

Zhang Kuan said, "The minion has to congratulate the emperor."

"Oh~." Yuan Zong was a little surprised, "How happy are I?"

"Of course congratulations to the emperor for getting a loyal general who served Da Zhou. When the minion went, General Qi had already rushed to the northwest, and it took a long time for the minion to meet him."

Yuan Zong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "This is indeed a good thing." He liked Qi Shiqin already, and added a little favor.

Zhang Kuan didn't just praise him blindly, and followed the words and said something to the emperor, which made Yuan Zong feel at ease. He looked at Zhang Kuan and said, "Okay, you guys have this mouth, you just know how to say it."

Zhang Kuan chuckled and said, "The minion just said something, it would be great to make the emperor happy."

Appropriate to say something pleasing, Zhang Kuan shut up and waited for Yuan Zong's pen and ink with peace of mind. He grew up serving Yuan Zong and was able to be somewhat decent, but he also had to recognize his identity so as not to disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs.

Yuan Zong is a man of strict rules, diligent administration and love for the people, but when he looks at the memorial, Yuan Zong can't help but sigh in his heart, knowing when the forces of these rebellious courtiers will be uprooted.

The good mood that I had just got sunk unconsciously.

The author has something to say: I can't get up too late when I return to my hometown tomorrow, so this Chapter should be less.
