Poor Family Chapter 463

  Chapter 463 The Key to the Solution

  It was already dusk when Li Yanqing rushed back to Gao Mansion. As soon as the ox cart stopped at the gate, Cao Xing rushed out from the mansion, complaining in a low voice, "Why did you come back now, where is Jiaojiao?"

   "I sent her home first, there are a lot of things."

  Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, "How much did you buy her?"

   "It's just some snacks and some messy cat furniture. Anyway, she likes it, and it doesn't cost much, so I bought it for her."

   "Sure enough, it's exactly as I expected, hey! The little lady is ignorant, I'm really sorry for costing you."

  Li Yanqing interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I just like to see her happy, buying some small things to coax my little sister, isn't it very happy? Do you think I will care about that little money?"

  Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said: "Okay! As long as you are happy, you can go to the mansion quickly! Grandpa is almost scolding me to death."

   "Has the banquet already started?"

   "It's almost there, anyway, you are the only one missing, come on!"

Li Yanqing followed Cao Xing into the mansion. The banquet was held in the atrium of the Gao Mansion, which is also a large garden, with lights and festoons on the top, and dozens of banquet tables below, with more than a hundred guests, more than Cao The banquet in the mansion is better, there is a table for four people, the banquet has not yet started, but the guests are already seated, everyone is chatting with each other, the atmosphere is very lively, and the difference from Cao's mansion is that there are very few female relatives, and only five or six tables are seated .

   "Brother Yanqing, here!"

  Li Yanqing suddenly saw Gao Chong waving to him, so he walked over quickly, Gao Chong saluted and said with a smile: "I heard that you took Jiaojiao out to play, that little lady is pestering you!"

   "Very lively and cute, I like it very much."

   Li Yanqing saw that there was an empty seat next to Gao Chong, so he sat down. Cao Xing hurriedly said, "Yanqing, your seat is at the main table, and this is our seat."

  Li Yanqing glanced at the main table, they were all old guys in their fifties and sixties, he lost interest immediately, and said with a smile: "This place is fine, don't let me move anymore."

Cao Xing had no choice but to run to report to his grandfather. Not long after, a bell rang, and seven or eight important guests came out of the middle hall talking and laughing. The family banquet is for relatives and friends, so don't be too polite, let's toast together!"

  Everyone raised their glasses and stood up, Li Yanqing asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to say a few speeches?"

  Gao Chong smiled slightly, "I've already talked about it all afternoon, so it's unnecessary to say anything else."

   "Oh! Looks like I got lucky."

   Gao Shen raised his glass and said: "Come! Let's drink to today's party!"

"cheers!"

   Everyone shouted and drank the wine in their glasses.

The banquet officially started, and everyone began to push and change glasses, eating and drinking, but Li Yanqing only drank a few glasses of wine, and Gao Shen led Cao Ping and Pan Xu walking towards this side, followed by three young men. People, except for Zhou Chun, the other two Li Yanqing are slightly familiar.

   "Yanqing, you don't give me face!"

  Gao Shen stepped forward and said with a smile: "I escaped halfway, and I refused to take the main seat. I have to drink three glasses of wine as a fine, so I feel better."

  Li Yanqing also laughed and said: "The Gao family has such a good wine, only three glasses of wine as a penalty is cheap for me."

  At this time, Pan Xu stepped forward with a smile, "When it comes to wine, it is generally recognized that our Pan family's wine is the best. Since Li Yushi likes it, I will send twenty altars to Li Yushi later!"

  Li Yanqing felt dizzy for a while, and he was afraid that Pan Xu would penetrate into every hole, so he had to laugh dryly, "Although the wine is good, you can't be greedy, and greedy drinking will lead to serious problems, right?" Mr. Pan said.

  He implicitly rejected Pan Xu's kindness. Pan Xu was a little embarrassed, so he could only laugh along with him: "Li Yushi is right, drinking becomes a habit, and you won't be able to go to the battlefield in the future."

   Li Yanqing drank three glasses of wine to apologize to Gao Shen, Gao Shen pulled the three young men behind him, "This is the dog and two sons-in-law, please take care of Li Yushi in the future!"

Li Yanqing suddenly remembered that the last time he came to Gao's family for a blind date, he met Gao Boyu, Gao Shen's son, who worked as a bodyguard in the palace. He should be promoted now, and his son-in-law is Cao Zhi, who is actually Cao Ping's nephew. It's the magistrate of a certain county, but he forgot the exact location.

   Because of Zhou Chun's presence, Gao Boyu and Cao Zhi couldn't talk about their blind date that year. They each toasted Li Yanqing with a glass of wine, and everyone left, but Cao Ping stayed.

   "Nephew, let's have a chat!" Cao Ping pulled Li Yanqing aside and sat down.

  Cao Ping laughed and said, "My little granddaughter made Yanqing's head big today!"

   "No! Jiaojiao is lively and cute, I like it very much."

   "The little lady is very cute, but she is spoiled and sometimes not very sensible. I hope Yanqing doesn't care about it."

  Li Yanqing smiled, "I also like to pamper her."

  Cao Ping pondered for a while, and then asked implicitly: "Has Yanqing not considered starting a family yet?"

Li Yanqing understood what he meant, so he said calmly: "My father often mentioned this matter to me, so I told him that marriage is a matter of letting nature take its course, and when you meet someone you like, and you are right with each other, I naturally I want to have a family, I just don't want to have a family for the sake of a family."

   Li Yanqing's implication is to remind Cao Ping not to introduce marriage to him. Cao Ping has already seen the world, so how could he not understand Li Yanqing's hint.

He took back the matter of proposing marriage, and smiled and said: "The so-called matchmaker's words and parents' orders are actually just a formality. We also hope that young people can fall in love with each other, so our aristocratic families have reached a consensus. The gathering method of the magpie club allows young people to choose by themselves, but it can also meet the condition of being well-matched. In fact, our meritorious family also has many talented and beautiful women. I hope Yanqing will have the opportunity to participate in our gatherings more."

   "Thanks for the kindness of seniors, Yanqing will definitely participate, and he will not be hypocritical!"

Cao Ping suddenly remembered that Li Yanqing came to Gao's family for a blind date. Only then did he understand Li Yanqing's meaning. Li Yanqing didn't actually reject him, but wanted to get to know him first. After thinking this through, Cao Ping felt a lot better , at least Li Yanqing's attitude is very sincere and willing to communicate, then it depends on their mutual fate!

  Cao Ping laughed, "With your words, I feel relieved."

After talking about the matter of the Cao family, Cao Ping changed the topic to the matter of Pan Xu entrusting him. He specifically persuaded Pan Xu this afternoon not to go directly to Li Yanqing. Everyone is not embarrassed.

   "Yanqing, the Pan family is very grateful to you for signing yesterday to change Pan Yue's cell so that he can save his life. In fact, we all know that you took the risk of offending Wang Fu."

  Li Yanqing secretly sighed in his heart. He escaped past the first day of junior high school, but could not escape the fifteenth day.

"That case was only in charge of me in name. Its real leader is still Wang Xiangguo, and it has been like this since the incident, but I don't want any accidents to Pan Yue during this period. Out of this consideration, I agreed to put the It's not my consideration of Pan's family or other factors, it's just my job to change him to a place with better conditions.”

Cao Ping nodded, "Actually, Liu Lin also hinted to us that this case was made by Wang Fu prematurely in order to please Lin Lingsu. In order to protect his face, he refused to overthrow his conclusion. It has been dragged down, but can my nephew point us in a direction so that we know where the key to the solution is?"

How could Li Yanqing leak Liang Shicheng's secret to them? He said with a slight smile, "After the Western Xia campaign last year, Commander Zhong officially retired. He is already seventy years old. No one would have thought that he would have a chance to come back. A few months later, he took command again to fight against the Liangshan bandits. Just when the victory was in sight, he was suddenly dismissed from his post. Life is full of ups and downs, but I told the commander that as long as he takes care of himself Physically, I believe that within a few years he will have a day to play again."

   "Nephew, please continue!" Cao Ping thought about Li Yan's words, and he understood a little bit.

"I mean, hope is hidden behind despair. Although Pan Yue's case is very difficult, there is light after the darkness. It will never drag on forever. The key is that we must learn to wait and be patient. As long as Pan Yue recuperates his body Well, hope will come quietly in despair, and I believe that day is not too far away."

Cao Ping was deeply moved. No wonder Zhong Shidao always regarded Li Yanqing as his successor. He didn't understand it before, but now he finally understands that such an outstanding young man is full of wisdom in life. Seeing him once, it would be a great fortune for the Cao family to get such a grandson-in-law!

  Although Li Yanqing didn't say it, Cao Ping already understood that Li Yanqing already had the key to the solution, and he was just waiting for the right time.

   "Nephew, there is one last thing. Last time you gave my granddaughter a couplet. She liked it very much. Unfortunately, it is too small to post. Please write another full couplet!"
