Xu Cheng looked at Qi's Uncle Qi who was paralyzed on the ground, his face was unbearable, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
He was born chubby and his face was fleshy. He looked like a kind-hearted and compassionate Buddha, but how many of him can be official? What's more, it's a seven-class magistrate. If it's better, it's its parents. If it's worse, it's because you face trivial matters every day and see a lot of messy things.
Only after becoming an official will I know that the world in the books has been beautified, and that the living world is the hard-to-read scripture of every family.
In Xu Cheng's view, the Qi family's affairs were nothing but face in the final analysis.
If the Qi family’s three princes did not have the accomplishments they are today, the seven uncles of this age would not be able to find them. Now they just think that the Qi family is promising. Tolerate them more, which gave these people the courage to wander around in front of others.
The result was that Qi Jia Erlang was indeed the one who wanted a face, and that his face was earned by himself, given by the emperor!
The emperor said that they are good people, and they are good people. Whoever says nothing is to challenge the emperor.
This face is bigger than anything else. Besides, this is what the Qi family Zhanli is doing. Now there is the Heavenly family backing it up, and this scolding is over before it even starts.
Qi Yun didn't look at Qi Shugong and the others from beginning to end. From the time he asked Tiezi to find Master Zhizhou, he had already predicted the current result.
There are no gentle methods, but Qi Yun is too lazy to delay.
He is going to return to Beijing sooner or later. Before he goes back, it is Qi Yun's filial piety to clarify the family affairs.
Last time I tore my skin, but the family's skin was torn off one layer and another layer, and the layers are endless, so don't ask for it completely. This time, I will completely break the relationship cleanly, and come to look for trouble after saving it.
At this moment, Qi Yun didn't even look at Uncle Qi. He just looked at Xu Cheng, and said, "Master Xu, if the cold ground is freezing today, please come to the mansion to have a bit of hot tea to warm up, so you can discuss something. The matter of building a bridge."
Xu Cheng also laughed, and said: "It's okay, it's hard for Erlang to have the heart." Then Xu Cheng turned around and whispered to the office worker, "The officer has something to discuss with Qijia Erlang, you first go to Master Zhizhou to report a letter. "
Qi Yun could hear this, but he pretended not to know, so he stood behind Qi's father and Qi Zhao, put his hands in the sleeves for holding hands, and held the stove with a calm expression.
Father Qi also understood, smiled and said kind words to Xu Cheng, and entered the door together.
Qi Zhao looked at his second brother, thinking that his second brother is the same as before. This brain is as easy to use as a godsend. He patted Qi Yun on the shoulder, and then Qi Zhao walked towards the people who were still chilling. Said: "Since the matter is over, go by yourself, our house does not serve food."
This is like a beggar, but in Qi Zhao's mind, this group of people who want to label themselves harm Saburo are not as good as beggars.
Other beggars can also play allegro and sing auspicious songs. They are afraid that they can't do anything besides sitting and eating in the sky.
Then Qi Zhao didn't look at it much, winked at the young servants, and took Qi Yun back.
Qi Erlang looked at his elder brother, and only felt that he was a little more majestic and righteous now than the simple Fangzheng and pure kindness before.
This change is excellent. The older brother can be more serious and the younger brother feels at ease. Qi Yun is happy to see the result, and obediently follows Qi Zhao and enters the door.
The Qi family servant didn't entangle them much, and pushed them a few times to make them go farther, and then went back.
When the door closed, the "bang" was particularly loud.
Uncle Qi was already in a daze, and he didn't even know how he got back on the carriage.
There were messy sounds all around, and these juniors were crying and making noises and hoped that Uncle Qi could find a way to rescue the two children. The two children were entangled in their lives. The crimes committed were indeed unforgivable, and they were really sentenced. , From light to weight and beheading, how can they be willing!
Uncle Qi closed his eyes and said nothing.
It took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Let's go, now... I'm afraid it's hard to save the gods."
Tiezi kept lying on the door panel, and when there was no sound from outside, he trot back to the front hall and nodded to Qi Yun.
Upon seeing this, Qi Erlang waved his hand to make Tiezi withdraw first, and then he talked to Xu Cheng about the bridge.
This matter is not only Qi Yun's means to win the Qi family's reputation, but from the heart.
One is to benefit the neighbors, and the other is of great benefit to the Qi family.
Qi Zhao's Zhuangzi and Qi Yun's wine shop are already connected together. The two brothers can benefit from grain production here and wine making there.
It's just that Qi Yun's wine shop is getting bigger and bigger now, and more and more are used for water transportation. He wants to build a new port by the river to make it more convenient for him.
But this matter cannot be said straightforwardly, and it is not easy to find a way out. After all, my business and official luck are too smooth now. I don't know how many people are the target. If you want to do this, you can only start small.
This bridge repair and road paving are all things that benefit the future, and it can be regarded as Xu Cheng's political achievements. The county magistrate is relieved, and the future will naturally have its own benefits.
Now Qi Yun only talks about repairing the bridge, and nothing else is mentioned.
Ye Jiao usually didn't participate in Qi Yun's business, so she went back to the backyard with Fang's family to prepare something for the New Year, and then see if the children were awake.
When several children are all having fun, it is likable to gather in one place, and if they wake up, they happen to be playing in one place.
Even squeezing and hugs are fun.
When I returned, I saw that the dragon and phoenix were wearing swollen clothes sitting on the ground and playing with the ball. Xu Bao on the side was dragging the stone, and he was talking to him. If you ignore the blankness on the stone face, the scene is still exceptionally peaceful. Happy.
Although Shitou wanted to study for fame, it wasn't Xu Bao's temperament who took pleasure in reading. He finally finished the school homework. After seeing Xu Bao, he wanted to play together, but ended up with Xu Bao's endorsement. It is indeed a bit tormented for Little Stone.
However, Longfengtai likes Brother Stone very much. Every time Brother Stone comes, his brother can let them go, which is really good.
After Ye Jiao and Fang entered the door, Shishi thought that they had seen a savior. Who knew Fang Shi was just saying: "It's rare for the children to work so hard, Shishi, come, recite a paragraph and listen."
stone:……
For a while, he couldn't tell whether it was a bit miserable to accompany Xu Baozhihu, or whether he was pulled out by his own mother to perform a bit miserable.
Xu Bao immediately raised his head and stood there with his chest straight up: "Xu Bao wants to carry it too! Auntie, let Xu Bao carry it."
Fang immediately smiled and nodded, touched Xu Bao's head and said, "Okay, OK, Xu Bao is so smart, I want to listen."
Xu Bao opened his mouth and back, spoke clearly, and his voice was smooth, making the stone beside him amazed and getting closer to Xu Bao.
Not to mention, just for the sake of Xu Bao's brother playing for himself today, he will treat Xu Bao better and better in the future.
After the recitation was over, Xiao Su happened to bring snacks and fruits into the door. Ye Jiao asked the older two to wash their hands and eat them by themselves. She and Fang took a bowl and spoon to feed the baby.
Fang Shi looked at Xu Bao, who was holding a big apple and gnawing at it. His eyes couldn't hide the exclamation. Then Fang Shi sat next to Ye Jiao and said in a low voice, "This kid is really smart. You can understand the meaning of "University" by memorizing it. It is indeed a good seed for reading."
Ye Jiao usually doesn't bother her children with studying, so she said: "I don't know if it's a good seedling. I just think that he can be with the stone in the future." Then the little Ginseng's voice paused, "Xu Bao has a big head, so it's normal to remember more things."
Fang cried for a moment, and immediately curled up the corners of his mouth, looking at Ye Jiao smiling and speechless.
Xu Bao didn't know that his mother was talking about his big head behind his back, and he wouldn't know that he almost called this name when he wanted to come. At this moment, the little guy just quietly nibbles on the apple and eats with extra concentration.
Then, the Fang family talked about another thing: "Since the younger siblings are back, there will be a few tea parties in a while, let's go together."
Ye Jiao nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Jiao used to go to a lot of this kind of tea party when he was at home.
On the other hand, Fang gave Ruyi milk with a spoon, and while wiping the corner of Xiao Ruyi's mouth with a kerchief, he said to Ye Jiao: "There are also invitations from Mrs. Zhizhou, but I said it was today’s tea party, but I don’t know why. I just made people say that the day has changed, and I will go with my younger siblings when it's settled."
Ye Jiao nodded, but didn't take it to heart.
But I don't know that the reason for the change of the tea party was something that happened just now in the Qi family.
At this moment, there is already a mess in the Zhizhou Yamen. Master Wei frowned slightly and said, "Who are these people here?"
The book official hurriedly came forward to report: "Most of them are merchants in the city, saying that they want to sue the Qi family for not repaying the debts, cheating, and..."
Lord Wei sat up straight, and said, "Qi family? Which Qi family?"
The book official was taken aback, and then said: "That Qi family in the west of the city."
"Not the Qi family outside the city?"
"No, they are suing the Qi family where two people were arrested before."
Master Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and the folds between his eyebrows were loosened a lot: "That's all right, if it involves the Qi family outside the city, I'm afraid things will be more troublesome."
The book official nodded repeatedly, even if Master Wei didn't explain, he understood the difference.
The Qi family outside the city is the number one wealthy family, and there are people in the family who are officials in the capital, which is difficult to provoke. Fortunately, this family is usually extraordinarily well-behaved and will not provoke right and wrong, and naturally will not embarrass the Yamen.
It's best that things don't have anything to do with the Qi family. As for the household in the city, he can't live by himself.
Master Wei calmed down and said, "In this case, whoever passes the testimony will take it. Those who should be judged by the county magistrate will be handed over to Mr. Xu. Take care of the people and merchants who complain, and don't cause trouble."
The book official replied, and understood that what my adults meant was to do business in an official manner and not to favor favoritism. Naturally, this was the easiest thing to do, and the book official's heart was much settled.
Master Wei took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the table, picked up the letter paper on the table, looked through it, and then threw it aside.
Because the calligrapher had been working in the yamen and was by the side of Master Zhizhou, he naturally knew that there was something about the girl Shen that was written there, but he didn't know how to react for a while.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Master Wei was still silent, the book official said: "My lord, the girl from the Shen family had no news as soon as she entered the palace. The news now is that she was involved in the palace's incidents, made mistakes, and died. I don’t know, but I have to talk to Shen Jia..."
"Stop the sound." Master Wei glared at the book clerk, and when he saw the book clerk shut his mouth, he slowly exhaled.
Although he was a foreign official, Master Wei still had his own connections in the capital.
Because of this personal connection, when the voice was released in the capital to select the beauties to fill the harem, Mr. Wei did not recommend his own girls of the right age, but acquiesced to the Shen family, and finally sent it to the girl.
Master Wei knew that entering the palace was not a good thing, so he allowed others to do things.
But what Master Wei didn't expect was that Miss Shen didn't come back, but stayed in the palace desperately, she was really stupid to the end.
Now that something happened, Master Wei was not surprised, but he was unwilling to let the people under his hand discuss it.
There is no other reason, just because Lord Wei knows exactly what the major incidents in the palace are.
The queen gave birth and the king left Beijing. As long as there is some news, it is difficult not to connect the two things together.
Now I heard that Ms. Shen didn't know her life or death because of the affairs in the palace. It was extremely troublesome to think about any matter, and it was good to be silent.
After all, people walked out, and the Shen family wanted to strive for the upper hand. For their opportunity, Master Wei did whatever they wanted, no matter what their original intentions were. As for the fate now, it is everyone's choice, each with its own life.
Among them, Mr. Wei did not declare it in his mouth, but said: "Don't mention it again in the future. As for how the Shen family has nothing to do with the official, the relevant things are just as unclear."
The book official also knew that it was "rare to be confused", and stopped talking after responding.
At this time, someone outside reported: "My lord, there is an officer sent by my lord outside the door who wants to see him."
Master Wei thought it was a business matter, so he said to the bookkeeper: "Go and see, the official is exhausted, if it's not a major matter, you don't need to report it."
The book official hurried out, and ran back shortly thereafter, and said to Master Wei: "The officer said, Master Xu asked him to bring a message, saying that the Qi family has received the imperial plaque again and will hang it in the afternoon."
Master Wei, who was planning to go to the back hall to rest, immediately sat up straight: "What character did you give?"
"Say yes, Haotian is absolutely irrelevant."
Master Wei pondered these four words in his heart, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that Qi Jiajian was in the heart of the emperor.
Many people have received golden plaques bestowed by the imperial court, but they can get two golden plaques that are both extremely square. This is not what ordinary people can do.
For those who are officials, it is basic to speculate on the intention.
Taking a step back, no matter whether the emperor is really interested in the Qi family, it doesn't hurt to walk more, not flattering, but not offending.
So Master Wei immediately got up and said, "Go, get the official uniform, you follow the official to the Qi family."
When Master Wei came, the Qi family was already lively.
What a face is this with the gift of the gods!
Besides, this golden plaque is the emperor's imperial pen, with a seal. Ordinary people would kneel down to show respect when they saw it. Who wouldn't envy the Qi family?
Before, there were people who felt sour, thinking that after entering Beijing, Qi Jia Erlang Saburo ignored his family, and even took away the golden plaque of "Aspiration and Cleanliness", showing that he did not want his old family to be exposed.
But now, Qi's family has two golden plaques, one in the capital, and one in the family, so neither is delayed.
There are people who are envious, and there are people who are jealous, but no matter what you feel, you must be kind on your face, and rush to congratulate you, hoping that you can also be happy, and there will be some benefits.
There are also people who are angry in their hearts. The Shen family counts as one, and the Qi family in the city counts as one. But nobody cares if they are not angry. Under the current glory of the Qi family, there will be shadows occasionally. Look at it.
To Ye Jiao's surprise, she received a gift, signed by Ye Bao.
Ye Jiao can't remember Ye Erlang's family clearly. Maybe she can remember the appearance of Ye Erlang and Ye Ersao, but Ye Jiao is very vague about their child Ye Bao.
The last time I saw it was just a child, I counted as a year old, but now I am a twelve-year-old boy.
Ye Bao didn't come to the door. He only asked the villagers to bring a gift, a package of sweets, which was not exquisite, but it was kind.
When Ye Jiao heard Qi Yun talk about it, she was stunned at first, and then said: "Manggong, what does this mean?"
Qi Yun looked at Ye Jiao, and said, "It's probably a good show. I heard that he is also good at studying in the school."
He asked the person who brought the goods and said that Ye Erlang had no news after owing gambling debts. Ye Ersao moved, but Ye Bao was still studying in the school and was extremely hardworking. He thought he had reached the age of knowing right and wrong. Up.
For this family, Qi Yun has never cared about it, and now he just mentioned it to Ye Jiaolue.
Ye Jiao relied on Qi Yun, thought for a while, and said, "This is a good thing."
Although Little Ginseng is not a long time as a human being, his mind is always clear and clear. After becoming a mother, it is more difficult to raise children.
Every child is a piece of blank paper, everything is taught by parents.
If you teach well, then you will be a good boy. If you teach bad, you will become crooked.
Ye Bao used to bully Ye Jiao when he was young, and most of them were to follow the example of his parents. The malice that children show when they don’t understand anything is often the malice of adults. They learn it, but they don’t know it. The consequences are more extreme.
It is not easy in itself to be able to break right after going to school now.
Be more sensible, the future will be easier if you want to.
It's just that Ye Jiao never thought about going back together. Although she was not a grudge, she was not a bodhisattva who could forgive everything.
It's Ye Jiao's own business to decide who to interact with. Besides, there are so many good children in the world, if she wants to meet all of them, she is afraid that she will die.
Qi Yun gently touched his wife's back and asked: "What do you think?"
Ye Jiao raised her head to look at him, and said solemnly: "Reading can change your life. Reading is really good."
Qi Yun didn't expect Ye Jiao to come to this conclusion in the end. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he smiled and nodded, revealing the matter and not mentioning it again.
It is already three days after the excitement brought about by the golden plaque, and the Qi family will also start to prepare to buy the things they will use for the New Year, as well as give out money from the steward and the shopkeeper.
Because Yue'er was still young, Fang always had to take time to take care of her, and the things on the books were a little imperfect, so Ye Jiao had to help her.
And Qi Yun also wants to meet with the treasurer at home and talk about the situation on the shop floor.
The beating that should be beaten, the encouragement that should be encouraged, Qi Yun is also busy from morning to night every day. It is rare that he took a free time after dark on this day, so he went to the courtyard of Father Qi and Liu.
When we went there, Father Qi and Liu family were preparing supper to eat. They heard that Qi Yun was coming, and they did not let anyone withdraw from the table. After all, they were a family, they didn’t have so much scruples, so they let Qi Yun come in. Up.
After Qi Yun came in, he looked at them, and said first: "The child is not filial, and it disturbs his parents to rest."
Father Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, Erlang sits down, but what's the important thing?" If it's not important, Qi Yun will definitely not come here so late.
Liu clan greeted Qi Yun to sit next to him, turned his head and said to Granny Liu: "Go and add a pair of chopsticks."
Qi Yun didn't feel hungry, but since the Liu family had said it, he sat next to Liu family, took two snacks, put his chopsticks away, looked at his parents, and said slowly: "Because of the day I'm busy, so I can only say it at night," and then the voice paused, "I wonder if my parents know that there is a Meng family in the capital?"
Father Qi's face was a little dazed. Although he was the head of the family, he was a thousand miles away from the capital. He naturally didn't know who was in the capital.
Even if I heard people talk about the capital once in a while, to the people outside, the capital is like another world, magnificent and beautiful, but I don’t know who is inside, let alone ordinary people. Who will go back to inquire about things thousands of miles away?
At most, it is to write down the emperor's name, avoid the words when naming the children, and most of them are asking three questions.
Instead, the Liu clan turned the hand of the Buddhist beads and stopped, looking at Qi Yun and said, "But out of the Queen’s Empress’s Meng family? I remember, it seems that his master is still the prime minister. Although this Meng family is a relative, he is also the most It's Jin Gui's family."
Qi Yun didn't expect his mother to know this. He was a little surprised, but didn't ask much. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Meng family."
Father Qi still doesn't know who the Meng family is, but after hearing that the queen has also been the prime minister, he thinks he is a top-notch big family, and said with emotion: "There are not many people like this in the world. Lots of people."
Liu knew in his heart that his Erlang would not mention this family plainly, and now talking about the use of him, when thinking of this, Liu reached out his hand and pulled Qi's father's sleeve, Qi's father immediately stopped talking, just watch lovingly Holding Qi Yun, motioned for him to continue.
Then Qi Yun said: "I am coming back this time, in addition to accompany my parents to celebrate the New Year, there are also things to discuss with my parents in person."
Liu Shi smiled, and said, "Erlang, let's talk about it."
Qi Yun raised his eyes and looked at them. Then he said slowly: "The emperor wants to give Saburo the marriage. Our family is afraid that we will be married to the Meng family soon. We also asked my parents to prepare three media and six talents. it is good."
Liu's:...
Father Qi:...
As soon as the words came out, Liu clan stunned, and Qi's father was taken aback. First he got up, and then immediately sat back, only the bowl in his hand fell straight to the ground, and it fell to pieces.
The author has something to say: Ye Jiao: My baby is best recognized, the one with the big head is
Xu Bao:? ? ?
=w=
C184**
Qi Yun guessed that his parents would be surprised, but he never thought that the old couple would react so much.
When the bowl fell to the ground, Qi Yun got up, supported Qi's father, turned his head to Tiezi and said: "Clean up as soon as possible, don't get stuck."
Tiezi didn't need anyone else to do it. He ran all the way to get things to clean the ground, then quit neatly, and closed the door intimately.
Father Qi didn't return to his senses, looking at Qi Yun blankly.
The Liu family is slightly better. Of course, mothers hope that their children will get better and better, and she has long known that the emperor intends to marry her family Saburo, but this family is too high.
At the beginning when Qi Yun's letter was received, the Liu family thought that there are no princesses of the right age in the royal family. Could it be that the princess or other noble daughters looked at Saburo and wanted to be his son-in-law, otherwise how could he use the emperor to give him a marriage?
This kind of thing is actually not new. Every year in the jinshi, there will be people who are regarded by high-ranking families, and now those lords in the imperial court are not all relatives of the emperor, and there are also the daughters of people who have been knighted. There are also many people who want to find new scholars to be friends.
But now the Meng family that Qi Yun is talking about is better than these!
Lord, it sounds good to say, the family has hereditary titles, and it should be a big family, but ordinary people like them are not happy to find their daughters.
Whether it’s not good to be distinguished or not, even if it’s a knighthood, it can only show that the predecessors planted a tree and the descendants took advantage of the shade. No matter how luxuriant this tree is, there is no way to bless today’s children and grandchildren to be successful.
Many Jinshi are full of economics and have great ambitions, but once they are attracted by such people, few can get ahead in the court.
Because once you step into the threshold of this kind of people, it's like a trick, not to mention that there is no need to help in the court, I am afraid that you will have to stay low at home for a lifetime.
The Meng family was different. It had the reputation of the queen’s maiden family, and there was a patriarch who was the prime minister. The emperor was harmonious and had real power. This kind of family would only get better and better, first-class noble.
Being his son-in-law, as long as he is not a fool, he has a great future.
Now it's his turn to Saburo...
The Liu clan tugged the kerchief in his hand tightly, and at any rate, he calmly asked, "Which girl from the Meng family are you talking about?"
Qi Yun replied: "There are two girls in the Meng family. Now they are talking about the first sister of the queen's empress, the fifth girl in the Meng family, and her girlfriend's name is Zhilan."
Five girls, Mengwu girls.
Liu chanted this title several times in his heart and wrote it down. For a while, he couldn't remember the birth date, but said: "I don't know what the temperament and appearance of this fifth girl is, how easy to get along with?"
Although Qi Yun has never seen Meng Zhilan, he can guess one or two by relying on the Meng family's tutor and Chu Chengyun's clear tone. At this moment, he said: "The appearance is very good, and I get along very well. Mother can rest assured. "
If he was replaced by someone next to him, even if Qi Ming was a Xinke Tanhua Lang, he was still trusted by the emperor, but he was from an ordinary family and would inevitably be looked down upon by the Yue Zhang family.
But the Meng family is different. This kind of family is bound to have strict rules. There are many officials in the family, and they have a very high reputation. On the contrary, they can save Qi Ming from turning his eyes.
Liu nodded, feeling relieved, as a mother, as long as Liu knew that his daughter-in-law was a good one, he didn't care about it.
It was Father Qi, who finally recovered. He didn't understand what the mother and son said just now. He just looked at Qi Yun and asked, "Erlang, why did the Meng family agree to marry our family?"
Qi Yun lowered his eyes and thought, naturally because the emperor is brother Qi Mingyi, he wanted to be a brother-in-law, and he wanted to find a backer in the Qi Ming Dynasty to facilitate his future administration, so he rushed to match.
But Qi Yun won’t tell his parents about this. After all, they are getting older and can’t help but frighten. Although it sounds like a very glorious thing to be brothers with the emperor, if you say it, I’m afraid you will be surprised by the two elders. Let them worry, and once it is spread, I am afraid that Saburo's reputation will not be good.
Companion with a monarch is like a companion with a tiger. This word has spread so widely. Everyone thinks that it is extremely dangerous to walk in front of the emperor, even if Qi Yun himself knows the rare kindness and virtue of the emperor today, others will not believe it.
Therefore, Qi Yun only said: "Because Saburo won the middle school, he crossed the horse and paraded in the street, and was caught by the Meng Wu girl. The two fell in love at first sight and at second sight. They had promises to each other, and the Meng family agreed."
This is also true. Girls love Tanhua Lang, and teenagers love beautiful girls. This is common sense in the world.
Just listening to Qi's father and Liu's ears, they instantly filled up a lot of drama.
The Liu family even sighed: "I'm afraid that the fifth girl will have to fight to persuade her family to make it difficult for this child."
Father Qi also nodded: "I actually asked for the emperor's grace. Most of it was our Saburo's idea."
"I don't know if my in-laws are angry..."
"Sanniang, we have to prepare more wedding gifts, we can't treat my father-in-law badly."
Qi Yun:...
Qi Erlang couldn't think of what his parents were thinking, but felt that they shouldn't be allowed to listen to so many textbooks. Most of the love stories written by those who fell short of the list were unreliable, but they sounded true.
But since they even called "in-law", it means that this marriage is bound to happen, Qi Yun stopped talking, and told his parents to continue to eat, and then left with Tiezi.
After Qi Yun left, the old couple were relatively speechless, sitting there for a long time without speaking.
I was a little hungry at first, but now I'm scared back, I can't feel it at all.
When the porridge served as a midnight snack on the table has cooled down, Liu said, "Since it is already a fixed matter, we have to start preparing... These three media and six recruits are all necessary. I prepared it for Saburo. Those things have to be taken out."
Father Qi didn't speak, he just sat and looked at the unknown place, looking a little dazed.
He is an honest man, and feels that his greatest blessing is to marry a good lady like the Liu family. Who knows that good things happen one after another, and now he can be the prime minister.
This... how does this look like a dream?
Liu's is more decisive. Since things can't be changed, it's still a good thing like a pie in the sky, she immediately lost the thoughts on her side, but just got up, patted Father Qi on the back, and said: "What about you? Say something, this is a big happy event for our family. Don't be so calm and watch the New Year. You should also prepare things for Saburo."
Father Qi held Liu's hand back and looked at her with his head raised, his voice was a little dumb: "Sanniang, I...am I in a dream?"
When Liu heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand and squeezed Father Qi's face, and said in a bad breath: "Come on, I don't know your courage? Forgive you for not having such a dream."
The pain was pinched, but Father Qi laughed and answered again and again: "The lady is right, I don't dare to have this kind of dream."
Liu Shi gave him a sideways look, but also laughed, and slapped him again. Then the old couple didn’t care about eating, so they went into the inner room and turned out the account at home, looking through and thinking about how to prepare something for Saburo. .
Obviously this time I am going to get married with Gao Men, so this betrothal gift must not be stingy, we must always plan carefully.
It's just that the matter of asking for a marriage is not done overnight. You have to plan slowly. The two elders of the Qi family did not make a big fuss. They just silently prepared things for their own Saburo, and because they were extremely convinced that their own Saburo and Mengwu girls were the kind of exhausted in the storybook. The love story is difficult and dangerous, so it is more and more unwilling to treat Qi Ming and Meng Wu girl.
Ye Jiao and Fang had to let Ye Jiao and Fang help to buy and look at the many items in it. Ye Jiao knew the inside story would not be curious, but Fang didn’t think about it at all. The two tacit understandings didn’t ask too much. Just buy it.
This year is still extremely lively, even more prosperous than previous years.
There are more and more shops in the Qi family, and the harvest on Zhuangzi is also excellent. This year, he paid nearly three hundred guans of money.
The twenty guards who had originally come to give the plaque also left. The place is unknown, and Qi Yun didn't ask, but after they left, they burned three piles of straw and specifically instructed the small kitchen to make some glutinous rice cakes to avoid bad luck.
Even if Qi Yun didn't believe in ghosts and gods, since he guessed that these people were going to two abandoned kings, there must be killings. Qi Yun had to think more about it even for his wife and children. It's better to be a little taboo.
People come to visit Qi Mansion in an endless stream, and there are also many posts inviting Fang's Ye Jiao to various tea parties.
The significance is self-explanatory. Because the three lords of the Qi family are all promising, it is rare now that Ye Jiao returns, and the Fang family is also out of confinement. Naturally, I have to take advantage of this opportunity to get along with them a lot, and it is best to have some relationships. Good to help myself.
Look at Dong Shi, who has a good relationship with Ye Jiao, and this medicine shop is about to go to the capital.
Even if you can't catch up with Ye Jiao, it is very good to have a good relationship with the Fang family. The tenants in Qi Zhao Zhuangzi have spare money, and such an owner is also rare.
But the Fang family did not respond to every tea party. Because Ye Jiao had been in the capital for a long time and was not clear about the affairs of the family, Fang helped her decide which ones to go and which ones not to go. Quite a few, most of them were officials or acquaintances, and the Fang clan also followed Ye Jiao, and they took care of them.
After going back and forth, the relationship between the concubine and the concubine was quite strong, but it was closer than before Ye Jiao left home.
Soon, it was New Year's Eve.
At the 30th year of the new year, there were a lot fewer people coming home to pay a New Year's greetings. The Qi family simply closed the door and began to prepare to guard the New Year.
When I ate dumplings in the evening, compared with last year, there was less Qi Ming on the table, but a lot of milk dolls.
The Dragon and Phoenix fetus ran around chasing Xu Bao, the stone followed to protect him, and Yue'er stayed quietly in Fang's arms, staring at her with sullen eyes.
When the dumplings were on the table, several children were hugged and sat in a small chair specially for them. Xu Shitou ate it by himself, while the dragon and phoenix were fed.
Originally, Ye Jiao liked to feed the children very much. After feeding this one and the other with a small mouth open and waiting for you, it was very pleasing, but this time Ye Jiao left the feeding thing to Mrs. Mo .
Qi Yun couldn't help but grasped Ye Jiao's hand under the table, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jiao tilted her head, and whispered back in his ear: "I have always eaten dumplings... or let Mom Mo come, I'm afraid of choking them."
Qi Yun also remembered what would happen every New Year's Eve, so he stopped asking, but paid more attention to Ye Jiao.
When seeing Ye Jiao silently stuffing the copper plate into her purse again and again, Qi Yun couldn't help but think that the luck of her own lady is really rare in the world.
Wanting to go back and forth, Ye Jiao can make a tassel of copper again.
And this year when I was keeping the old age, the adults took the children together.
On the bed, Xu Bao bounced up and down, chuckling as he bounced, and it was rare for Ning Bao not to have a group of people around, but also stood and played with his brother and sister.
When the children were playing around, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao naturally lost the thoughts of love and affection, they just took care of them, and just passed the New Year.
When the fireworks went off outside and the firecrackers crackled, the children couldn't stand it after seeing the excitement and fell asleep. When they were sent back to their respective rooms, the husband and wife were exhausted.
Even if I lie in one place, the atmosphere is just right, but I want to do something but I am powerless.
Ye Jiao yawned, wearing only a tube top, her lotus arms stretched over to hug the man's waist, closed her eyes, first leaned sideways against his chest, and then she was afraid that her husband could not sleep well, so she rubbed. Moved to the man's neck, it was tightly attached.
Qi Yun couldn't help but grabbed the woman's soft waist and asked slowly, "Is the Jiao Niang cold?"
Ye Jiao was a little sleepy, and her voice was vague: "I'm not cold, but I'm afraid you are cold."
Recently, things have been busy, Ye Jiao has a lot of things, and Qi Yun is not touching the ground, and the two don't spend much time together.
The little ginseng can only hug him tightly while sleeping to make up for him, so as not to get sick.
Although Qi Yun didn’t know that this was the only way to replenish his body, it’s always good to have Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, so he hugged Ye Jiao closer, and said in a low voice, “Sleep well. Go to see the lanterns in the city."
Ye Jiao replied and smiled, desperately wanting to go.
Actually speaking, I liked this lantern when I first saw it, but it didn't seem as fresh as it was at the beginning, but Ye Jiao liked to do something with Qi Yun.
She likes making dumplings and watching lanterns, even if she just stays in one place like this now.
After all, I like this person in my heart.
Two days later, Qi Er's family drove into the city in a carriage.
This time they took three children with them, and there were more people waiting. Instead of using the small carriage of the Qi family, they used the large one that Qi Yun made when he returned home. Some.
An ordinary carriage uses one horse, and this one needs two horses to be able to move. In addition, the carriage is stable and expensive, and it is very eye-catching after going out.
There are quite a few people who know this car, and when they see it, they know that it is Qier's family.
Now there is no need for the Qi family to keep a low profile. The big limelight of Jinbian has been out, and there is no need to hide and tuck in a carriage, so this trip is particularly comfortable.
When I entered the city, it was already night, and the frame of the car slowly stopped outside the Qijia Drugstore.
After Qi Yun got out of the car, he helped Ye Jiao down and said, "There are many people looking at the lanterns ahead. The carriage first stopped in the backyard of the pharmacy, and we walked in."
Ye Jiao replied, and when she stood firm, she stretched out her hand to hold Ruyi in her arms, while Qi Yun held Ning Bao.
Originally Xu Bao wanted to let his parents hug him, but he also knew that his younger siblings were young, and he could not rob them, so he didn't speak.
Ning Bao kissed him when he got out of the car, and asked Ruyi to hug Xu Bao, so he made Xu Bao smile.
When they walked into the crowd to see the lantern, the three dolls couldn't remember the things next to them. They only felt that their eyes were not enough. When they looked from the left to the right, their big eyes were wide.
Even if Xu Bao has seen it before, I still remember it clearly, but in the end it is the child's character, and he is willing to look at these shiny and bright, Xu Bao seems to be happier than anyone now.
He also guessed a few lantern riddles. Most of the lantern riddles tested were quick wit. Younger dolls didn’t know much, and it’s normal if they couldn’t guess. Xu Bao was always happy, even if he didn’t guess it, he wouldn’t be angry. I was extremely happy, and I had to carry the lantern I won by myself and lift my chin. I was so happy.
Such a good temper made Ye Jiao smile, and said to Qi Yun: "Xu Bao is probably the least worrying child."
Smart, sensible, and the most important thing is to be open. Such a temperament can always find a way to make yourself happy.
Qi Yun also nodded, looking at Xu Bao, his eyes especially gentle.
If you don't be a parent, you don't know your parents' favor. Now as a father, Qi Yun knows what it means to be a father.
He doesn't ask the children to become dragons and phoenixes, he just hopes that they can have peace and joy.
As he was thinking, Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao's "Huh".
He couldn't help but stop, followed Ye Jiao's line of sight, and then saw a familiar stall.
There are a lot of people around, and there is a big shelf in the back, with many large and small objects on it. The biggest one is a lantern on the top. Because this year is the Year of the Goat, the lantern is a cute sheep shape. lovely.
As for the stall owner, Qi Yun also had the impression that it was the Guanpu stall owner they met when they first met Chu Chengyun a few years ago.
His turn-off is different from others. It is not to determine whether you will win or lose after sprinkling copper coins, but to put a lot of small **** in a box, reach out to touch, and see what gifts you will get by color.
The last time I saw this stall, it was four years ago. That time Chu Chengyun had very bad luck. He spent a lot of money but never touched it. On the contrary, Ye Jiao was very lucky. He gave a fan to Chu Chengyun for comfort.
Qi Yun didn't know whether Chu Chengyun left the fan, but this stall made Qi Yun feel very familiar.
But for the stall owner, the oncoming people made his back sweat.
It stands to reason that he has seen countless people in four years, and he never remembers the guests of Yimenzhiyuan so clearly.
But a person like Ye Jiao who almost "ransacked his stall" is really rare in a century. It is enough to be unforgettable once encountered. In addition, Ye Jiao is beautiful, and his eyebrows are especially crooked when he smiles. It's easy to remember, the stall owner recognized her at a glance.
Before Ye Jiao could speak, the stall owner cried and said, "This lady, can you let it go this year?"
Ye Jiao blinked and hugged Xiao Ruyi's hand tightly, with a smile on her face: "Just for fun, I'll just give the money."
The stall owner still looked bitter, and looked at Ye Jiao eagerly.
Little Ginseng didn't want to embarrass him. He also knew that he scared others last time, and thought that he would eat dumplings casually. The fun of playing with such luck is actually much less.
She didn't want to be difficult, so she thought about it.
But at this time, Ruyi stretched out her hand and pointed directly at the lantern in the shape of a lamb hanging on it. She said with a voice, "Mother, I want it."
Ye Jiao looked up, then looked down at Ruyi, and said with a smile: "I have to win this by myself, I can't buy it."
Ruyi looked at Ye Jiao and then at the stall owner, with a soft voice: "Ruyi wants it."
The child was wearing a fur-collared cloak today, the satin was red, and a circle of white fur was around the collar, and the little face was more cute and pretty.
Although the stall owner was afraid of Ye Jiao, he still liked such a cute milk doll.
The guy on the side also said to the stall owner: "This lady is lucky, she can't be a child and she's lucky. It was a coincidence last time."
After thinking about it, the stall owner also felt that he would not be so back, so he said to Ye Jiao: "Since the girl likes it, why don't the madam let the girl try?"
Ye Jiao was happy when she played by herself, but she would inevitably think more about playing with the doll she is holding now.
This level is said to be a game, but it is actually a gambling on luck.
Ruyi is still small, it's okay to play casually, but it's enough, you can't touch it like Chu Chengyun before, and it's yourself that suffers in the end.
So Ye Jiao looked at Ruyi's eyes and gestured a finger to her: "Mother let Ruyi go to play, but Ruyi promised to touch one. If you can't touch it, okay?"
Although Ruyi is a little girl, she has always been decisive, and immediately nodded and said softly: "I know, just one."
Ye Jiao also felt that she couldn't just let Ruyi play. Liu told her that treating her child would be a good bowl of water, so Ye Jiao looked at Xu Bao Ningbao again: "You also come and try with your sister. "
Xu Bao immediately responded, smiling at Ruyi and said, "If your brother gets the lantern, give it to Ruyi."
Although Ning Bao was not in high spirits, since Ruyi liked it, he also nodded.
Ruyi's eyes were staring straight at the lantern, and she put her little hand in front of her, and huffed, rubbing her little hand, looking very decent.
Qi Yun didn’t know who she learned this from, but seeing that she was so cute, he couldn’t help but reached out and touched Ruyi’s little head. Then the stall owner discovered that the man next to him who was dressed in black and could not even see his face was actually with him. This lady is a family.
It's just that the stall owner didn't have the mind to distinguish who they were, so he shook the box in his hand and handed it over.
Xu Bao was the first one to pass by. Mrs. Mo picked him up, Xu Bao reached in and touched one.
Black ball.
Xu Bao immediately raised his head to look at the stall owner. The stall owner who was originally worried was relieved, thinking that the lady's luck might not have been passed on to the child, and he smiled and said: "It's a pity, young master, this A black ball has no color."
This made Xu Bao a little disappointed, but not too disappointed, but looked at Ning Bao excitedly.
Xiao Ningbao disappointed Xu Bao. The little meaty hand still felt a black ball. He didn't even look at it. He threw it back into the box, turned his head and buried his face in Qi Yun's arms.
It is rare for Qi Erlang to see his younger son angry, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat his back and coaxed him with a burst of laughter.
At this moment, Ye Jiao held Ruyi firmly with both hands and stretched forward to let her touch the ball.
And in her heart, Ye Jiao has already begun to figure out how to comfort her little daughter. Although Ruyi has a lively and decisive temperament, as long as she has just promised not to touch it, she will definitely recognize it, but the child is young. It must be comforted.
Ruyi clasped his hand again, clenched his fist to encourage himself, and then put his little hand into the box.
She was extra cautious. She only had one chance. Xiao Ruyi took it very seriously. After mixing her hands twice, she took it out.
Because children have small hands, even a small ball cannot be fully grasped, and the color can already be seen when the hand is pulled out.
Because Qi Yun happened to be blocked by Ruyi's fur collar, he couldn't see what she touched.
Ye Jiao looked down, a little surprised in her eyes.
However, Ruyi held the ball tightly and looked at the stall owner with big eyes.
Then, I heard the sound of the stall owner taking a breath of air-conditioning, and then I saw his eight-character Hu Du drooping down, with some self-defeating voice in his voice: "Red ball...one red ball, one golden sheep lantern."
The young man was shocked, and then he was stared at by the stall owner.
Who says good luck is not inherited? con man!
