Li Qingling laughed and rubbed his face, saying that his skin was more rough than before.Liu Zhimo looked at her somewhat speechlessly. After a moment, he finally spoke, saying that he was a man, why did he need such good skin?
"Pleasant."
"My wife, does Darling not like you anymore?" Liu Zhimo pretended to look at her sadly.
Li Qingling laughed and extended his finger to point at them, saying that he was so much weaker than before.
One Mimi?
Liu Zhimo looked deeply at her, and before she could react, he grabbed the back of her head, and kissed her red lips.
Only after an unknown period of time had pa.s.sed did he finally loosen his grip on her and ask if she was still weak.
This man definitely did it on purpose, absolutely.
Li Qingling rolled his eyes and rested his head on Yun Che"s shoulder, stopping him from kissing.
Liu Zhimo smiled and gently caressed her back.
Even if the two of them did not speak and remained silent and fearful, the atmosphere would still be extremely warm.
It was only when Xi Chun called for Li Qingling outside the door that the two of them separated.
Li Qingling stood up and went to open the door, then looked at Xi Chun and asked, Is she ready?
Xi Chun nodded and said yes, when would the meal start?
"Now..." The meal was about to start, and the time was just right.
"Alright …"
The welcoming banquet at night was extremely lively. After the Liu Family soldiers and the guards got to know each other, it was inevitable that they would spar.
No matter if it was martial arts or drinking, it did not stop.
Seeing that they could get along peacefully, Liu Zhimo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Previously, he was a little worried that the two groups of people wouldn"t get along well. If it really was like this, things would be a little troublesome.
Fortunately, they didn"t let him down and what he was worried about didn"t happen.
"This is the first time that the house is so lively." Li Qingling said to Liu Zhimo with a smile.
Liu Zhimo smiled and nodded, the lively atmosphere in the house infected him, causing his smile to never stop.
"My wife, shouldn"t we hire a chef now?" There was no chef at home, and if it was not Li Qingling who cooked, it was Xi Chun who cooked. With so many people at home, if they wanted to cook more, they would have to make more food.
Besides, he didn"t want his wife to cook for so many men. He would be jealous.
Li Qingling acknowledged his and said that she was considering this question.
There were almost fifty mouths at home. If he asked them to cook, the workload would be too much for them to handle.
"You can ask Mrs. Hu if she knows anyone in this area." An acquaintance would introduce, "If there"s really none, you can only ask."
"Alright …" Thinking about how there were so many people at home, Li Qingling started to worry. Seems like she really needed to consider whether or not he should open a roast duck restaurant in Ninghua County.
Last time when Li Qingning asked her, she was very determined to not say it, but this time she might change her mind.
With so many people at home, the expenses had increased by a lot. If this continued, she would be sitting on her laurels.
No, she had to find a way to make money.
"Zhi Moge, do you think I should open a roast duck restaurant in Ninghua County?" She told Liu Zhimo his thoughts, wanting to ask for his opinion. Would her opening a shop here affect him?
Liu Zhimo frowned and thought for a bit. He could have her open the shop, but he had to let someone else take care of it, he could not reveal that he was the one who opened the shop.
He was afraid that if Zhao Lin, w.a.n.g, and the others knew about it, they would make a fuss about it. Even more afraid that after the people found out, they would go to buy roast duck everyday in order to repay him.
Just like when he was at the gate, he was left at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.
Li Qingling nodded immediately.
If she really decided to open a roast duck restaurant, she would let someone else take care of it.
As long as he could make money, it didn"t matter.
Liu Zhimo gently shook Li Qingling"s hand, thanking her for thinking for his sake.
If it wasn"t for the fact that she was afraid of affecting him, she wouldn"t need to hide her ident.i.ty even if she opened a shop.
He had let her down and caused her to suffer.
Fortunately, Li Qingling didn"t know what Liu Zhimo was thinking in his heart.
They were husband and wife, it was only right for them to understand each other.
"Lord, let me toast you." The Guard Captain walked in with a cup of wine as he thanked Liu Zhimo for taking care of them.
Liu Zhimo released Li Qingling"s hand, picked up the cup, and lightly touched it to the guard"s mouth, before raising his head and drying himself up.
When Liu Shi, who followed the guard in, saw how straightforward Liu Zhimo was, he laughed out loud and said, "County Magistrate has such a good alcohol tolerance. Come, let this subordinate toast you."
Liu Zhimo did not reject any of them, as he drank one cup after another.
No matter how good his tolerance for alcohol was, it would not be enough for so many people to toast him.
After drinking the wine down, he used all his strength to look at Li Qingling with misty eyes.
Seeing him like this, Li Qingling knew that he was drunk. She silently sighed, and smiled apologetically at those who wanted to come in to toast.
"Darling is drunk. I"ll take him back first. You guys eat slowly."
After Li Qingling finished speaking, he gently supported Liu Zhimo and left the banquet. Next time, she must remind Liu Zhimo repeatedly that he must not get drunk outside in order to not be taken advantage of by others.
After returning to his room, Li Qingling turned the kerchief and gently wiped his hands and face. Then he untied his clothes to let him sleep more comfortably.
"My wife?" Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling with wide eyes.
Li Qingling replied, and wanted to take his hand away. He refused, and forcefully dragged her onto the bed, then shamelessly hugged her, and kept on calling her his wife … My wife …
At first, Li Qingling would still answer him, but in the end, she was powerless to do so, allowing him to shout.
"My wife?" Unable to hear her answer, he pushed himself up slightly and stared at her.
"Yes..." Li Qingling was both angry and amused, and replied his again, "Sleep, don"t wake me up."
Liu Zhimo foolishly smiled at her. He held her face and was about to kiss her.
Li Qingling covered his mouth with his hand, preventing him from kissing her. His breath smelled of alcohol, and she felt like he was about to faint from the smell.
"If you dare to drink that much next time, I won"t let you go to bed, do you hear me?"
"Woo woo …" Someone wailed and shook his head. After shaking off her hand, he seemed to have forgotten about kissing her. He rested his head on her shoulder and called her name.
There was no sound after a shout, so Li Qingling called out to him softly. He did not hear his reply.
She gently pushed him away and discovered that he had fallen asleep.
She unhappily tapped him on the forehead, said "drunkard", and then sighed helplessly. She carefully took off his clothes and covered him with the blanket before going to call Nian Xia to get someone to bring her some hot water to bathe.
The next day, when Liu Zhimo woke up, he felt that there was a hammer striking him on his head, causing him to frown from the pain.
Li Qingling pushed open the door and entered. Seeing him sitting on the side of the bed with furrowed brows, he knew that he had a hangover and a headache.
"You"re awake?" She placed the soup on the table, walked up to him and smiled. "Does your head hurt? Let"s see if you still dare to drink that much next time? "
What did it look like to be drunk?
Liu Zhimo reached out his hands to hug Li Qingling"s waist, his head leaned towards Li Qingling, "My wife …"
This man was acting coquettishly towards her again. Li Qingling laughed and patted the back of his head, "It"s useless acting coquettishly towards me. Who told you to drink so much? If she didn"t hurt him once, how could she teach him a lesson?
"My wife …" Liu Zhimo raised his head and looked at her accusingly, "You don"t love me anymore."
"..."
Li Qingling reached out to tug at his face, "Enough, stop acting like a spoiled child, you really should let others see your appearance." See who dares to say that the County Magistrate is serious?
"Not for others to see, just for you to see."
"Did you eat sugar in the morning?" The words sounded so good.
"My wife, do you want to see if I"ve eaten candy?" Seeing that he was eager, Li Qingling shook his head and rejected him.
"Don"t you have a headache?"
"Pain …"
"Get up. Hurry up and wash up. After drinking the Spirit-Sobering Soup, it won"t hurt anymore." Li Qingling pulled him up and pushed him on his back, urging him to go wash up and not act coquettishly with her.
Liu Zhimo turned his head and looked at her, he slowly walked to the pot, slowly washed up, and then leisurely walked back to Li Qingling"s side, saying that he had a headache.
Li Qingling rolled his eyes as he lifted up the Awakened Wine Soup and stuffed it into his hands, telling him to quickly drink it.
Liu Zhimo looked at her again, raised his head, and finished it all. He opened his mouth to her, and said that he had finished.
How could such a childish man be that serious and calm man in court?
I heard that every man becomes a child in front of the woman he loves.
She finally experienced it.
"That"s great …"
"No rewards?"
"..." Li Qingling lowered his head and kissed his lips, "Reward! Lord Liu, allow this little girl to remind you. If you don"t go to the yamen, Magistrate Ma will come and find you while crying. "
Liu Zhimo stood up, and pecked her lips a few times. Then, in a happy mood, he went to change his official"s uniform, and walked towards the yamen.
When he saw that his two bodyguards were following him today, he slightly raised his brows and asked, "What about 11?"
The seventh ranked guard, Ling Qi, replied respectfully, "Sir, from today onwards, Ling Ba and I will follow by your side." Eleven has something else to do.
When Liu Zhimo heard this, he fell silent for a moment before calling out to Captain Liu.
Liu Shi"s figure immediately appeared in front of Liu Zhimo, "Master, you"re looking for me?"
"Have you guys discussed it?"
Liu Shi understood what Liu Zhimo meant, "Yes, this subordinate discussed it with Ling Yi. We"re in the dark, they"re in the light." He would stay by Liu Zhimo"s side the entire time to protect his safety.
Liu Zhimo acknowledged, and said that since they had agreed on it, it was fine, but with that said, he stepped out of the door.
The instant Liu Shi lifted his leg, his figure instantly disappeared.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba looked at each other in silence, admiring Liu Shi"s martial arts that left no trace behind.
As expected of the Liu Family soldiers, they could not be underestimated.
When Liu Zhimo reached the yamen, he coincidentally met Magistrate Ma who was walking out hastily.
