Chen Tingwen was tall and eight feet tall, standing among the crowd of civil officials, but Li Zhi was half a head taller than him.

Just now, when Chen Tingwen left the palace, he met the commander of the imperial guard who was about to return home. Chen Tingwen stepped forward to thank him. Li Zhi resigned to him and said that he would choose a day to come to the door with gifts. Chen Tingwen did not want Li Zhi to spend money, so he invited Li Zhi to Chen Mansion to be a guest. The two of them drank a few drinks tonight, and the incident in Koizumi Temple was over.

Chen Tingwen repeatedly invited each other, but Li Zhi refused and could only agree.

At this moment, Li Zhi was still wearing an official uniform, with a slender purple robe, with armor patterns on both shoulders, chest and wrist guards. Just like Li Zhi, he integrated the elegant and luxurious style with the heroic appearance of a military general. With clothing, Li Zhi had a good look, and was a good look from a thousand people. With this dress, he immediately became a dragon and a phoenix, as if he was born in a noble family.

Chen Qingqing had seen Li Zhi's most hypocritical face, of course she would not be confused by Li Zhi's appearance. Chen Wang, who was six years old, would be different. The first time she saw such a handsome and mighty man, the little boy couldn't help but raise his head high, like the most ordinary soldier who saw the general, looking silly as if he was falling into by Li Zhi.

Chen Tingwen was amused by his son: "Brother Wang, this is the Marquis of Pingxi, the commander of our imperial guards in Great Zhou. He is still here to pay his respects."

Li Zhi looked at Chen Wang gently.

Chen Wang was a little shy and moved his foot to hide behind his sister.

So, Li Zhi's gaze naturally fell on Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing just learned in the morning that no matter how her grandfather looked, she thought that the old man was so stubborn, and after the rest in the afternoon, Chen Qingqing deliberately picked a simple green wool without any exquisite embroidery, and prepared to go to the old man to be good at night. However, Chen Qingqing's skin was fair and looked good in any color. At this time, the green clothes and snowy skin made the little girl look like a lotus bud that had just emerged from the water, pure and refined.

If she smiled again, it would be even better, Li Zhi thought.

"Miss Seven's injury has healed?" Li Zhi asked with concern.

Chen Qingqing pursed her pink lips and ignored him.

When Li Zhi saw this, he raised his left hand and touched his cuff to his right.

Chen Qingqing felt panicked. Could it be that he would have tied the embroidered shoe he stolen and returned it to her in front of her father?

Just when she was so anxious that she was sweating, Li Zhi took out a small white porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Tingwen sideways and said, "My Lord Shen, Miss Seven was cut by a thief that day because I was cut by a thief. This is the white jade frost just given to me by the concubine. It can eliminate scars and scars. My martial artist can't use this thing, so I will give it to Miss Seven."

It turned out to be a trauma medicine, and Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yushuang is a rare and easy-to-give magic medicine in the palace. It is said that in order to make such a small bottle, hundreds of snow lotus on the iceberg will have to collect, let alone other precious medicinal materials.

Chen Tingwen quickly pressed Li Zhi's hand: "It's too expensive, and the little girl's injury has completely recovered. Marquis quickly put it away!"

Li Zhi insisted: "If you don't accept it, I will feel at ease. Do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?"

What he said was so serious that Chen Tingwen was embarrassed.

Li Zhi handed Bai Yushuang over again.

It was hard to refuse the kindness. Chen Tingwen shook his head, took Bai Yushuang, and handed it to his daughter, saying, "Qingqing, thank you, Marquis."

Chen Qingqing looked at Li Zhi and thought about the embroidered shoes again. She decided to bear it again. When she took the embroidered shoes back, she would not be afraid of Li Zhi.

"Thank you for giving the medicine to you." Chen Qingqing lowered her head and bowed to Li Zhi in a regular manner, with a noble lady full of style.

Li Zhi remembered that when she was in Koizumi Temple, her hair and clothes were all soaked, and she found that the embroidered shoes were gone. She turned her eyes and her fierce eyes seemed to be about to eat him. However, in Li Zhi's eyes, the angry girl Chen Qi was like a little fox with teeth and claws in front of a tiger, not fierce at all, only full of childishness and cuteness.

Now that she is posing as a lady from a wealthy family, she is boring.

"I just hope that the girl will not hold a grudge against me." Li Zhi bowed his body and returned the courtesy, the gentleman was elegant.

Chen Qingqing panicked, and took Bai Yushuang and said to her father: "I won't disturb my father's hospitality anymore."

After saying that, Chen Qingqing took his younger brother and left. Chen Wang wanted to look back, but Chen Qingqing turned his younger brother's head.

Seeing her little moves, Li Zhi smiled.

Chen Qingqing returned to her yard.

Yudie and Yucang came to serve her together.

Chen Qingqing raised her eyes and saw a scar on Yudie's head. In Koizumi Temple that day, Yudie was carrying a chair to block the door and was kicked open by Cao Xiong. Yudie's forehead hit the corner of the stool's legs, causing a lot of blood to flow, and a scar also fell. Because the scar is deep, it has not yet disappeared.

Chen Qingqing took out the bottle of white jade frost without thinking and handed it to Yudie and said, "This is a scar removal plaster. You can use it, you don't have to pay it back." She knew the preciousness of white jade frost, but no matter how precious the thing was, it depends on who gave it to him. Li Zhi, who was scoundrel, if it weren't for Yudie's use, Chen Qingqing would rather throw this white jade frost than use it himself.

Yudie asked casually without knowing it, "Did it be rewarded by the concubine?"

Chen Qingqing nodded perfunctorily.

The jade butterfly answered happily.

"Go and see if my grandfather is back." Chen Qingqing told Yu Chan that Li Zhi must stay at his home for dinner tonight. Chen Qingqing was going to have dinner at his grandfather and grandmother, so as not to wait for his mother to mention him at the dinner table, which would ruin his appetite.

Jade cica went with a smile.

Yudie went to take the water. Chen Qingqing glanced out of the window and suddenly frowned. Last time Li Zhi said that as long as she did not expose him in front of her parents, he would return her to embroider her shoes. Today Li Zhi should be here to test it, and her cooperation will naturally satisfy him. The question is, when will Li Zhi plan to repay her?

Chen Qingqing would not be able to feel at ease if she didn't take back her embroidered shoes for a day.

"Miss, wash your hands." Yudie returned with water.

Chen Qingqing looked at her maid, her face turned slightly red, and she said awkwardly: "Yu Die, give me that medicine first, I have something to use."

Yudie didn't think much about it, and smiled and took out the porcelain bottle and gave it to Chen Qingqing: "What's the matter with a blushing girl? There are no outsiders here."

Chen Qingqing touched her nose, annoyed that she was too impulsive and hasty when doing things. Fortunately, it was Yudie. If it were someone else, she would immediately get it back after giving it something. It was so ugly.

After washing his hands, Chen Qingqing stayed in the inner room for a while, and then went to the front yard alone.

Chen Tingwen, Chen Su, was entertaining Li Zhi, and Manager Wu was waiting in the yard. Chen Qingqing turned around from the corridor and waved his hand to Manager Wu first, indicating that Manager Wu should not salute. Manager Wu did not move anymore, so Chen Qingqing tiptoed under the eaves of the corridor and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

"The Marquis looks handsome, gentle and polite, like a scholar. I really can't tell that you can lead troops to fight."

This is Chen's praising Li Zhi.

Li Zhiqian said: "The third wife has been awarded too much. The achievements of Pingxi were all in the generals back then. I just gave it a little help."

"It is really admirable that the Marquis can still be so arrogant or extravagant in a high position."

Chen Tingwen continued to praise him.

Li Zhi said ashamedly: "With the old pearls and jade on the side of the palace, please don't praise me."

The man's voice was clear, and in just a few words he interpreted the image of a humble and unapologetically virtuous minister. Chen Qingqing heard it in his ears, as if he had eaten a big mouthful of fat meat. This Li Zhi was successful with his concubine's sister, and he was proud of his power. She respected him a real villain, but he was still greedy for his reputation and insisted on pretending to be a hypocrite.

Chen Qingqing could no longer listen and gave a wink at Manager Wu.

Manager Wu then spoke to the corner of the corridor and said loudly: "Miss Seven."

Chen Qingqing replied with a sweet smile on his face and waited deliberately for a while before she walked to the door of the hall slowly.

Everyone inside had already seen it. When Li Zhi saw Chen Qingqing, he stood up. He was so kind that he was a marquis of etiquette that he was a Shangjia Marquis who was granted military merits?

Chen Tingwen and his wife were even more amazed.

Chen Qingqing is so angry that she is about to die!

Li Zhi saw that she was holding Bai Yushuang in her hand and frowned: "Miss Seven looks so ugly. Could it be that there is something wrong with Bai Yushuang?"

Chen Qingqing:...

Why did she look bad? Did he really know why?

Found that his parents and brothers looked at her in confusion, Chen Qingqing took a breath, then took out Bai Yushuang and said to Li Zhi: "Marty, I have thought about it carefully. That day's incident was all coincidental. You didn't owe our Shen family anything, so I can't accept this gift." After that, Chen Qingqing quickly walked to Li Zhi and handed Bai Yushuang back.

Li Zhi was used to saying the scene, but suddenly he saw a note of paper in the little girl's fair palm, pressing under the porcelain bottle.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing forced herself to smile: "This gift is really too expensive."

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Since Miss Seven said that, I can't force others to do anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi took Bai Yushuang with neat movements.

Chen Qingqing saluted him lightly and left.

In the evening, Li Zhi accompanied Chen Tingwen to drink a few drinks. When night fell, Li Zhi stood up to say goodbye.

Chen Tingwen personally sent him out of Chen's mansion.

Li Zhi came on a horse without taking his entourage. After walking out of the alley where Chen Mansion was, Li Zhi took out a small note from his sleeve. There were officials' homes on both sides of the alley, and two house lanterns were hung in front of each house. With the soft halo of the lantern, Li Zhi saw two lines of small characters written on the note: I will send pastries tomorrow, and the things and these notes are hidden under the food box, keeping my promise.

This way to return the shoes was decided by Chen Qingqing carefully. If she had an appointment outside, Chen Qingqing was afraid of being seen and rumors, so it would be much safer to make an appointment at home. In order to avoid the loss of the note and expose the Shen family, Chen Qingqing deliberately wrote the words very ugly and did not name the name.

Li Zhi held this thin note and saw through Chen Qingqing's various thoughts at first glance.

She wanted countless noble ladies and ladies in the capital, but wanted pastries, but she really deserved it.

Li Zhi smiled and put away the notes again.

Chen Qingqing didn't sleep well at night. She hoped that Li Zhi would keep her promise but her thoughts, but she also felt that Li Zhi was not that gentleman.

In the morning, the sixth girl Shen Jiayi came to find her. After having tea, she started to ask with a smile: "Seventh sister, the third uncle had a banquet for the Marquis of Pingxi yesterday? How did the third uncle have a friendship with him?"

Regarding this matter, Chen Qingqing's family had already unified the argument. She explained calmly: "We met a few thieves on the way back to Beijing. Before we could do anything, Pingxi Hou passed by. He led a team of people and arrested the thieves in a few seconds. After helping us, my father of course had to repay him."

Shen Jiayi nodded: "So that's it. Alas, it's said that Pingxi Hou is lenient and open-minded. I didn't expect it to be true. I thought he would stand by because of his aunt."

Chen Qingqing didn't want more family members to be blinded by Li Zhi, and snorted: "Actually, there is a guard around us, so he can solve it without him doing anything. He just wants to have a good reputation. Look, my father and mother are so grateful to him now. He exchanged a good reputation for his simple work, and he made a lot of money by making a fortune. It turns out that it is a businessman's style."

Shen Jiayi blinked and retorted: "I don't think it's like it. I don't know if the seventh sister hasn't returned to the capital for a long time. The reputation of Pingxi Hou in the capital is great. Some people despise him. He laughed it off and some flattered him. He ignored it. Moreover, Pingxi Hou is twenty-four, and there is no woman around him. He is not even close to women than our grandfather."

Chen Qingqing subconsciously felt cold and Li Zhi, and whispered: "Twenty-four are considered old men. My grandfather has a grandmother in his heart. It is normal for him to be close to women. Pingxi Hou has not even a woman. Maybe he has suffered from something unspeakable."

Shen Jiayi blushed and gently pushed Chen Qingqing: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard!"

It is too inappropriate for a girl to discuss the unspeakable secrets of men.

Chen Qingqing also realized that she had said the wrong thing, looked around and the two sisters laughed secretly together.

The author has something to say: Li Zhi: Hold on and laugh, and you will cry in the future.

Chen Qingqing: Bah, hooligan!
