"Do you have a place to stay in the old Beijing?"

The afternoon sun shines lazily through the half-open window, soft and soft, with the unknown fragrance of flowers, casting half of the shadow under the comforting face.

"I have a restaurant in the old capital. Before leaving, I left my old servant to take care of my parents' home. I just don't know if I'm still there after a war."

Li Qiniang's voice is neither delicate nor slender, and her speaking speed is a bit fast, but her pronunciation is clear and refreshing.

Qi Wei nodded: "What if it has been destroyed by war, wouldn't you still have to rent a house?"

"There is no need. My sister has a house in the old capital, so we can temporarily stay with her."

Li Qiniang said that she was staying at home instead of moving in. Qi Wei sighed in her heart. This woman has always been very strong and never wanted to rely on others. She used to be like this when she was in the Yan family, and she also took her daughter to open a shop after she left her. Now she still finds her relatives.

"That's fine."

Qi Wei pondered for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something. He took a pen from the pen holder, cut a small piece of paper, and picked up something to write on it. Li Qiniang didn't know what she said. She found that Qi Wei's writing looked very elegant, not like a military general, but rather like a well-educated scholar.

Qi Wei put down his pen and stamped the small paper. Seeing Li Qiniang looking at him, she smiled apologetically: "I heard you talk about your own restaurant, I suddenly remembered that my Duke's Mansion has come. It has been a few years since I went back."

This was something Li Qiniang didn't expect. She asked: "You were not in the old capital before moving the capital?"

"No, I was fighting at that time. I heard that the capital was moving out of chaos. Many officials and their families had not left the city, but their houses were looted. The house was given to their ancestors by Taizu, and every brick and tiles were all the emperor's kindness. Mrs. Li returned to the old capital. If you have time, you can go over and take a look. I am not worried that the house will be demolished. The old servants in the family were all those who followed their father to the battlefield before. I was away all year round, so I kept them in the mansion for honor and support, but I didn't expect that life and death are uncertain now."

Qi Wei said, and handed over the short note: "This is the address. The housekeeper in the mansion is Qi Zhong. He is over 60 years old. He has a bad ear skills a few years ago. When you talk to him, the voice should be louder. If he still says he can't hear clearly, please don't be surprised."

Li Qiniang took the note and saw that the ink traces on it had not dried, so she carefully held it in her hand: "Don't worry, Duke, I'll settle down in the old capital, and I'll go to your house to take a look."

"Okay, I'll thank you first. However, after Mrs. Li went to see it, can I tell me about the situation in the mansion?" At this point, Qi Fu paused. Seeing that Mrs. Li's eyes were quiet and without impatient, he added, "The journey from Old Beijing to Pingcheng is long. Even if Mrs. Li wrote the letter, he didn't know when he would receive it. Perhaps something went wrong on the way, and it was possible that he could not receive it. Since that is the case, then you won't bother Mrs. Li."

His words "It is possible that you can't receive them" made Li Qiniang feel sad, and she comforted him that he hadn't returned for several years. Has he rarely gone back since the Duke's wife passed away?

Li Qiniang remembered Qi Ying, who was raised by Chai Shu, and remembered what Zhenzhu said, Qi Wei was locked with iron chains, and the more sad he felt, the more he felt, the prince was good to everyone, even the old servants at home, he wanted them to live in the prince, Rongyang. Why did such a good person bear so much by himself?

"What the Duke of the Kingdom is just a small task, and there is no need to worry about it. Then I will ask Xiaoman to help me write it. Although he is young, his handwriting is neat. By the way, the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom

Qi Wei had heard Fusheng say that Li Qiniang adopted a child. A few days ago, the child also lived in Chai Yan's house in Liushu Hutong.

"Well, I heard from Fusheng that a child is still young, so don't tell him about the adults. Besides, when I read the letter, I will only care about the content of the letter, so how can I pay attention to how the words are written?"

Li Qiniang understood that as a Duke, correspondence is extremely private, and even children are not very good.

"Okay, then I will write it myself." Li Qiniang agreed readily.

Qi Wei was in a happy mood. When Li Qiniang said goodbye to him, he stopped her, called the servant in, and gave a few instructions. The servant went out and soon came out with a brocade box.

Seeing that the brocade box was flat, Li Qiniang was a little confused. Qi Wei handed the brocade box to her. She did not reach out to pick it up. Qi Wei said warmly: "This is your thing, and the thing returns to the original owner."

Li Qiniang was stunned. What's her?

Why did her things come to the Duke?

She took the brocade box, hesitated but did not open it.

Qi Wei smiled and said, "Don't you open it and see?"

Li Qiniang opened the brocade box. The moment the brocade box was opened, she opened her mouth wide in surprise. How could this happen?

What was placed in the brocade box was her kitchen knife.

"Look, but your hand?" Qi Wei said softly.

"Yes, it's mine. The word "Li" is engraved on the handle of the knife. It was used by my father. How could this knife be with the Duke?"

Li Qiniang subconsciously wanted to take the kitchen knife out of the brocade box, but she felt it was not possible. Although it was a kitchen knife, it was also a weapon. Besides, this knife had been killed by people and blood.

"You don't know that the sword was confiscated by the soldiers that day. The men in the army didn't pay much attention to it. When sorting out the weapons, they found a kitchen knife, so they gave it to the chef directly. The chef used your knife to cut vegetables and meat. Oh, but I don't know that this was actually used by a famous chef."

Li Qiniang knew that the famous chef in Qi Wei's mouth was referring to her adoptive father. She just said that the knife was passed to her by her father, so Qi Wei said that it was used by the famous chef.

"Thank you, Duke, this knife is too precious to me, I will treasure it when I go back."

Li Qiniang smiled with her eyebrows and could see that she was really happy. Qiwei's lips curled up slightly and curved a beautiful curve, as if she could see Li Qiniang's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "This knife was taken back more than a month ago. It happened that day that day that I passed by Guangji Temple, so I left the knife in Guangji Temple and asked the monks in the temple to remove the evil spirits. I didn't expect it to be released for a long time. When I remembered, the knife had been stored in Guangji Temple for 49 days. I listened to monks chanting scriptures every day, and I don't know how much I realized."

Li Qiniang looked at Qi Wei in surprise. Her eyes were very beautiful, like water apricots, and her eyes were slightly raised.

"Can the kitchen knife be consecrated in the temple?"

Qi Wei smiled at his lips: "It's not just consecration, it's just asking the monks to chant the scriptures to transform them into killing karma."

Li Qiniang held the knife and was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She smiled and said, "It's also a blessing that this knife was placed in Guangji Temple. Otherwise, when Feiyuwei came to search the house, he might have been confiscated."

This is just a joke. It is neither a treasure nor a useful document. How could Feiyuwei want this?

Li Qiniang burst into laughter. The Duke of the State can even tell jokes.
