Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1117
Datang Chang'an City, the British government.

The sweltering heat of summer is unbearable, and the chirping of cicadas in the trees in the afternoon is even more disturbing.

Cui Jie sat in the shade of a tree in the small courtyard behind the Duke's Mansion, embroidering a picture of flowers and birds in a gentle and quiet manner.

Magpies disturbing branches, quite auspicious.

After Li Qinzai led the army to the expedition, Cui Jie raised her children at home. Apart from nurturing her second child, Hongbi, she also supervised Qiaoer's schoolwork. Besides, she embroidered in the courtyard in her spare time.

Cui Jie has already embroidered no less than ten pieces like today's picture of magpies disturbing branches.

Nothing else, just a picture of auspiciousness, which is another form of praying for the husband who is fighting outside, and only hope that the husband can be safe and sound when he is fighting for the country, without injury or disaster.

Jin Xiang sat next to Cui Jie, she didn't embroider, she held a book in her hand, and read it quietly.

In this boring afternoon, the second daughter seemed a little uneasy.

Cui Jie embroidered several stitches wrong, Jin Xiang stared at the book, unable to read a word on it.

After a long time, Cui Jie suddenly let out a soft cry, Jin Xiang hurriedly looked, but saw Cui Jie's finger was pierced by a needle, and a drop of bright red blood oozed out of the skin.

Jin Xiang sighed softly: "Sister, be careful, you have embroidered more than ten pieces of this picture of magpies and branches, why not stop embroidering, it is better to rest."

In fact, Jinxiang was not in the mood to read. Unknowingly, my husband has been on the expedition for more than half a year. For more than half a year, military reports from the front have continued to reach Chang'an.

Li Qinzai led the army to land in the country of Wa, Li Qinzai quelled the chaos in the capital of the country of Wa, Li Qinzai landed in Baekje, Li Qinzai swept the eastern part of Goguryeo, etc...

One military report after another spread to Chang'an, and the subjects of Chang'an were excited, and good news arrived every once in a while.

While Cui Jie and Jin Xiang were overjoyed, they were also secretly worried, for fear that there would be some bad news one day, they didn't expect much credit from their husband, they only hoped that he would come back safely.

A servant girl walked quickly to report that there were guests in the front yard, they were a group of Li Qinzai's disciples.

A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Cui Jie's mouth.

After Li Qinzai led the army to the expedition, Li Sujie, Li Xian and other disciples could not neglect their studies, so Li Zhi ordered the doctor of Guozijian to teach Li Qinzai temporarily.

No one knows arithmetic better than Li Qinzai, and most of the lessons taught by the Imperial College for more than half a year are the scriptures of sages.

But for some reason, Li Sujie and other disciples seemed to recognize Li Qinzai as the gentleman. They often rolled their eyes at Dr. Guozijian in class, but they often came to the Guogong Mansion to visit the two teachers and give some small gifts.

It must be the same today.

After tidying up her clothes, Cui Jie came to the front yard.

Li Sujie and other disciples stood in the courtyard in a proper manner, when they saw Cui Jie coming out, all the disciples bowed respectfully.

Cui Jie smiled and said: "Sir, you have been away for more than half a year, and you haven't taught your homework in the past six months. It's hard for you to remember your wife."

Li Sujie said with a smile: "A teacher for one day is a teacher for the rest of his life. My husband is fighting for the country on the front line. My disciples can't help me much, but etiquette is still indispensable. It is the duty of my disciples to always greet my wife."

Li Xian also smiled and said: "Miss, on behalf of the mother, the disciple gave some small gifts to the mistress. The ice cellar in the palace knocked a few large pieces of ice today, and the empress ordered the palace people to make iced sour plum soup, and asked the disciple to bring some to the mistress so that I can teach this Relieve the hot summer heat."

Cui Jie hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, the empress, my wife is very grateful."

Li Sujie said sternly: "Master, you don't need to be too polite. After your husband went to war, my father often said that the grandparents of the Li family fought for the country. No matter how great the honor, the Li family can afford it."

All the disciples nodded in agreement.

Qi Bizhen at the side suddenly sighed, and said: "I don't know when the master will return to Chang'an triumphantly. The military newspaper said that the battle ahead was good. The old man Yinggong commanded well, and my king's force was like a broken bamboo, but the Goguryeo thief is still stubborn. If you want to destroy the country, you may have to wait half a year."

Shangguan Kun'er, the youngest, sneered and said, "When Mr. was here, he beat you the hardest. You were the one who received the most beatings in the school. After Mr. went to war, you really missed him."

Qi Bizhen glared and said: "Mr. beat me for my own good. He hoped that I would become a talent. I was the one who didn't live up to my expectations. I deserved the beating. The more I do, the more I miss Mr.'s teaching. Don't you miss Mr.?"

A group of disciples laughed and scolded each other.

Cui Jie couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't laugh at each other, your husband often said that every one of these little bastards in the school wants to hang you on a tree and smoke a hundred times a day..."

As she spoke, she looked at Princess Xuancheng who was the most silent in the crowd, Cui Jie pulled her over, held her little hand and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you female disciple is very competitive, and you are not inferior to a man even in scientific examinations. Face once."

Looking at the group of disciples, Cui Jie said in the tone of a teacher's wife: "You guys, learn more from Princess Xuancheng. Before the master returns to Chang'an in triumph, review your homework as soon as possible. Mr. Haojiao will look at you with admiration. It won't be too pleasant, and you don't want your husband to smoke you when you meet, right?"

Everyone was stunned, and when they thought of the master returning triumphantly on a tall horse, and the master raised his whip to beat them as soon as the master and apprentice met, this scene... It seems that it is not impossible.

So the disciples greeted Cui Jie one after another, and left hurriedly one by one.

After seeing off the disciples, Cui Jie went back to the backyard and sat in the shade of a tree in a daze.

I don't know why, but I'm always restless today. Just now, my fingers were pricked in the embroidery, and the picture of the magpie disturbing the branches was also ruined. The dark red blood dripped on the black feathers of the magpie. I always felt that it was not a good omen... …

Husband... when will he return?
…………

Goguryeo, outside the black bone city, the Tang army camp.

Li Qinzai was in a coma for three days. During these three days, he was in a daze, woke up for a while and fell asleep again.

She had a high fever, her ribs and back were burning hot, her left arm also hurt, and she seemed to have vomited blood several times.

He vaguely remembered that there were quite a few people visiting his bed in the past few days, including familiar faces and unfamiliar faces.

After visiting with concern for a while, people left carefully and gently.

Li Qinzai seems to be living in a dream these days.

In the dream, he seemed to re-experience his previous life with a fast lens.

In the high school classroom, the teacher tried his best to pass on knowledge on the podium, while he passed small notes with the girl he liked.

Under the tree-lined avenue of the university, I tried several times ignorantly and shyly, trying to hold the girl's little hand, but in the end I didn't have the courage to take that step, and finally missed the white moonlight in my life.

Entering the society, becoming a social animal, thick-skinned, sophisticated and tactful, flirting with female colleagues shamelessly, the female colleagues blushing, the kind of flirtatious flirtatious flirtatious, tacit understanding, as if they got something, and always I feel something is wrong.

Every dream is so clear, he can see the appearance of every passer-by in his life, but he can't see his own eyebrows clearly.

After a few days of half-dream and half-awake, Li Qinzai, who was in a daze, finally opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Little Baga who was waiting beside his bed.

Seeing that Li Qinzai finally opened his eyes, the extremely haggard little Baga covered his mouth in surprise, and then burst into tears.
