Seeing that Li Zhongyi was feeling a little depressed, Li Qiniang picked up a chopstick for him with public chopsticks and said with a smile: "Master, what are you thinking about? Is it not delicious to use breakfast?"

When he was alone with his own woman, Li Zhongyi never paid attention to the rules of not speaking. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, sighed, "I spent countless efforts, but what I got was a dream that turned into nothing. I was so nervous."

Li Zhongyi was very happy to chat with Li Qiniang in private, telling intimate words, and making things difficult. Li Qiniang had also heard of some things about artillery.

Although Li Qiniang did not understand how powerful the artillery was, it was not something she should worry about. However, Li Zhongyi was in a bad mood, so she wanted to make him happy and deliberately said in a slight tone: "Yesterday, Mrs. Jin brought a noble lady and a noble girl in to visit Aunt Jin who was confinement. I took a look at it, hehe, that noble lady looks so beautiful, I still feel pity for her..."

The woman in the house, from Zhu Niang to Cai Jiao, gave birth to children or daughters one after another, and for a while, no mistress took care of the house affairs. Li Zhongyi ordered Li Qiniang to temporarily take care of the house affairs.

According to the rules, whether outsiders enter the back house or leave the house, they must pay homage to the wife of the Zhang family. With the consent of the wife of the Zhang family, they will also send maids to accompany them with special signs to pass freely within the second gate.

Zheng led people in to visit Caijiao. If Li Qiniang didn't know about it, something big would happen.

Li Zhongyi has always been a military ruler. If things that are not in compliance with the rules are at least punished, and if they are severe, they will be killed. They will never be spared.

After Li Qiniang took over the family, the more affairs he managed, the more he realized the power of the military rule of law. In this back house, everyone was careful to do their duty, and no one dared to go beyond the line.

Even the most favored concubines, the maids around them dare not bully others by virtue of their power and be favored by others.

It’s okay. What Li Qiniang feels most worry-free is that the women in the back house of the old Li family have to pay for their own money regardless of their food, clothing and expenses.

According to the rules, the women in the back house receive a large amount of monthly money according to their respective standards every month.

This fixed monthly silver money includes rewards for the servants, wanting to eat ginseng, wanting to stew bird's nest, wanting to wear Shu brocade clothes, etc.

The rules for using monthly money are simple and clear: pay on time, if the expenses are too large, you will not be compensated, and if you have not spent, you can be used as private money.

For example, if Aunt Ye wants to eat stewed venison today, she must place a food order for the wife of the Zhang family before noon yesterday and send the corresponding expenses with the order.

After Li Qiniang received the order, she just needed to instruct the purchasing manager to order him to go out to purchase.

In this way, God knows how much trouble it saves?

Li Qiniang didn't know what other people's family was like. Her mother, who was in charge of the housework of the Prince of Huayang County, was so busy that she couldn't help but lose her body, but she understood clearly.

What’s so bad is that although Li Qiniang’s biological mother was so tired that she was almost breathless, she was always happy, fearing that she would lose the power of the family. It was really strange!

Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that Li Qiniang just wanted to distract him and hint that Zheng brought people in to visit Caijiao, which was actually ulterior motives.

No matter how generous a woman is, she cannot push her man into the arms of other women without any grudges, and Li Qiniang is no exception.

However, in order to make Li Zhongyi happy, Li Qiniang would rather let other women share the favor. This love really made Li Zhongyi feel very heavy and could not bear it.

Li Zhongyi picked up chopsticks and Li Qiniang's favorite elbow, put it into the dish in front of her, and said with a smile: "Eat more, there is too little meat."

After hearing the word "flesh", Li Qiniang's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, and her ears became hot for no reason. She said shyly: "Just talk nonsense."

Li Zhongyi smiled proudly. Although Li Qiniang had not broken her body, she slept between the pillows and mats every night. When the lover was hugging her, it was conceivable that something would happen.

Flesh, this meat is not that meat, Li Qiniang understands, Li Zhongyi knows it, and no one else knows it.

Li Zhongyi waited for Li Qiniang to eat the sauce elbows on the plate, and then picked up chopsticks for her to make a frying wind (pig ears). This is also a must-order dish that Li Qiniang loves to eat very much.

With the wealthy family background of the Prince of Huayang County, Li Qiniang is also the eldest granddaughter, and she is quite favored by Li Qiong. She has long been tired of eating mutton that ordinary families rarely taste.

On the contrary, ordinary people occasionally spend money to make pig elbows, pig ears, and even pigs that are never related to wealthy families. As long as they are braised with large ingredients, Li Qiniang will be happy and love it.

When the army was out, Li Zhongyi and ordinary soldiers had food the same food as each other. They were all hard pancakes, soaked in a large bowl of sheep bone soup sprinkled with chopped green onion. They ate warmly and sweated heavily, and enjoyed it.

On the mornings of home, Li Zhongyi also eats it relatively simple. A large bowl of three-fresh hand-rolled noodles made of pork, white sausage and bamboo shoots, combined with a few pickles, and eating soup and water, smelling the fragrance makes your stomach full.

However, since Li Qiniang came to Kaifeng, she has taken care of the beautiful woman's life so as not to feel wronged. On the dining table in her yard, all kinds of food have become dazzling: there are seven or eight kinds of small buns alone, not to mention rare food such as noodle and fried dough sticks. As long as it is the breakfast that Li Qiniang likes, there are everything.

After breakfast, Li Zhongyi held a teacup in his hand and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, thinking about a new way to improve the artillery casting process.

Li Qiniang came out of the clean room, sat casually on the small brocade stool beside the imperial concubine's couch, and whispered: "Master, I have something to say in my family, don't you know whether it should be said or not?"

Li Zhongyi turned his head and looked at Li Qiniang. He found that she frowned and looked worried. He put down the teacup, pulled her little hand, and said nonsense: "Do you miss home?"

Li Qiniang wanted to say something else, but let Li Zhongyi interrupt her, which really aroused her homesickness. She couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I've been out for so long, and I really miss the osmanthus cake made by my mother. I don't know if my grandfather's old cold legs are sick again?"

"Madam, separation from family is always temporary. We will return to Kaifeng to live forever sooner or later."

Since the second crossing the sea eastward, Li Zhongyi has been away from home for more than two years. Although he has been in contact with his family, even though he knows that there is nothing wrong at home, he still worrys whether the children are naughty again, whether their parents are strong, and whether the concubines who stay at home are fighting openly and secretly again?

Just as Li Zhongyi was thinking about it, Li Qiniang finally remembered what she was going to say just now, and whispered: "Master, Aunt Jin is still in the confinement period, and this daughter's body is precious. I am worried that she will suffer a great loss in the future."

Li Zhongyi was slightly stunned, and then realized that Li Qiniang was referring to something, but I was afraid that Zheng had been in and out of the back house too many times?

No wonder Li Qiniang became suspicious. Not to mention the dignified Duke of Chu, even if it is an ordinary family, how could the mother of a concubine come to visit her daughter every now and then?

Seeing Li Zhongyi looking thoughtful, Li Qiniang knew that after the reminder, the man listened to it and directly raised the topic of concern, "If it was an ordinary day, it would be fine, you are a great hero... If there is a slight mistake, I can only accompany you..."

What Li Zhongyi was worried about was that Li Qiniang noticed the relationship between him and Zheng, but she didn't expect that Li Qiniang was worried about that there would be rumors leaking from Zheng.

Due to the existence of an inappropriate relationship, Li Zhongyi was worried that it would affect his reputation and changed all the male servants and female servants who served Zheng.

Now, the people around Zheng are all trusted servants sent by Li Zhongyi from the Biezhuang in Kaifeng. These trusted servants are not only helping to take care of Zheng, but also staring at Zheng secretly, so as not to leak important news and cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Qiniang's concerns are indeed reasonable, and they are all serious. However, what Li Qiniang didn't know was that because the women around her were all in confinement, the burning fire in Li Zhongyi's body could only secretly vent on Zheng.

Although Li Zhongyi rests beside Li Qiniang every night, as long as Zheng enters the mansion, he will always sneak to the constant temperature swimming pool when the official business is completed in the afternoon and secretly meet Zheng.

To be honest, the joy stolen is like a big smoke addiction. When Li Zhongyi is idle, he will feel itchy if he doesn't steal it once or twice.

However, since Li Qiniang noticed Zheng's family, Li Zhongyi had to think about it more. If Li Qiniang discovered the affair between Li Zhongyi and Zheng through some clues, but was embarrassed to expose it directly, it would be a bit tricky.

Li Qiniang abandoned her daughter's reputation and traveled thousands of miles to find Li Zhongyi. Li Zhongyi is not a person with a heart. How could she not be moved?

"Well, you are not very good at talking to Caijiao. When I go back, I will mention her and don't let Zheng come too often." Li Zhongyi pretended to be right and came up with a solution lightly. After looking at Li Qiniang with his eyes, he kept looking at Li Qiniang and observing her reaction.

Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If this is the case, that would be great. Although I am temporarily in charge of housework, I am still nameless..."

Li Zhongyi also breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, Li Qiniang didn't know the shameful love between him and Zheng. In order to prevent Li Qiniang from saying sad words, he raised his hand and covered her little mouth. At the same time, he pulled her little hand and pressed it on the atrium of his left chest, and said gently: "Dear, don't you know what I want?"

Unexpectedly, Li Qiniang rolled her eyes and said bluntly: "I only know that Jiulang is a man with vision, and a casual woman will definitely not look down on him."

Li Zhongyi touched his chin awkwardly. Li Qiniang obviously had no confidence in whether he could control his crotch and not mess with the beautiful woman.
