The courtyard on the mountain is very big, and there are all the flowers, plants and trees that Ye Jiao mentioned.
There was also a small stream trickling through the middle, Qi Yun took Ye Jiao's hand and said as he walked, "You can build a few stone bridges here, plant willow trees on both sides, and I'll have someone draw them for you to see later."
Ye Jiao responded with a smile, and went to the garden with Qi Yun.
However, the garden is very large, built on a mountain, and there are woods next to it, so I can't see the head at a glance.
After walking for a while, he made a bed by the stream to rest.
This handover bed was not a bed, but a foldable chair. When Qi Yun went out, he had someone bring two of them, thinking that the yard was so big that he couldn't finish strolling in a while, so it would be good to have a chair to rest.
Ye Jiao sat down, looking at the gurgling stream, she smiled and took Qi Yun's hand: "This place is very good, what I like is really ours in the future?"
Qi Yun took out a land deed from his arms and gave it to her: "You keep this, it is here, it is naturally ours here, and every plant and tree in it is ours."
In fact, when Qi Yun said that he wanted to buy a mountain, Ye Jiao had no idea.
But now, Ye Jiao felt extremely happy when she saw the courtyard.
Qi Yun said: "It's better to tidy up here, the open space in the south just happened to be rich, and let the caravan stay there when they come back. In the letter two days ago, my eldest brother said that he bought a set of extreme Good horse gear, I will bring it to you next time, the place is empty, just for you to learn to ride a horse."
"Brother wrote you a letter? Why didn't you tell me." Ye Jiao tugged at Qi Yun's cuff.
Qi Erlang grabbed her fingertips with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's all trivial things, nothing interesting, I'll send a letter to you in a while, and then you can write a letter and send it together. "
Ye Jiao didn't ask any further, Qi Yun then dragged her forward and walked slowly.
In fact, the letters between Qi Yun and Ye Pingrong never stopped.
Before, because the situation was unstable and Ye Pingrong didn't know what his future was like, he kept in touch often, but at that time, most of the letters were sent by Qi Yun unilaterally, which were considered family letters.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and Ye Pingrong has also gained a firm foothold, he often writes letters.
After the Wu family came to the door for the first time, Qi Yun wrote a letter to inquire about the Lu family, in fact, to test the reliability of the Qi family's backing.
If it is reliable, then it will be bigger and bigger.
If it's not reliable, then make it smaller. I'm afraid that when Ye Jiao says that Miss Lu Qi is pregnant, Qi Yun will make their minds go wrong.
As a result, Ye Pingrong's reply clearly told Qi Yun that Saburo's future was the most important thing.
And, as if unintentionally mentioned, the rectification of official style in the DPRK involves many officials, including one surnamed Lu, who is afraid to move.
In fact, Qi Yun never mentioned his thoughts about the Lu family in the letter. Now that Ye Pingrong can say this, it is not his opinion. What Qi Yun can guess is that his third brother's righteous brother has never let up on Qi. Saburo's attention.
Qi Yun couldn't understand for a while, whether it was a blessing or a curse for his Saburo to be stared at by the emperor, fearing that he was the first since the dynasty.
As for the clergyman, Qi Yun didn't care whether he was targeted because of the court affairs or was implicated by his family, in the end, he gave himself a reason to vent his anger.
Qi Yun waited patiently until yesterday, when Ye Pingrong's letter came again, and Qi Yun put the unresolved piece on the chessboard.
It is natural to not be soft-hearted when you are ordered to vent your anger.
As for the Lu family, he always wanted him not to be shy in the future. No matter what others thought, Qi Yun never thought about being kind from the very beginning.
Since they had the intention of pitting themselves and throwing their sympathy first, Qi Yun had no reason to save them.
The Cai family is like this, the Lin family is like this, and so is the Lu family.
Looking at the sun, Qi Yun said with a smile, "I think the drama at Sister-in-law's side has already started."
Ye Jiao heard this and said to Qi Yun, "I want to see it too."
"Then before the Chinese New Year, how about inviting the troupe to sing at home?"
"If I don't understand it, Xianggong, tell me about it."
"it is good."
On the other hand, Fang Shi, who was not clear about these twists and turns, was just angry.
People do not compete with officials, and this has been the case since ancient times.
It's like in this city, even if everyone thinks that the people of the Lu family are not stingy, but no one provokes them, they have to be honored as sons when they go out and in, just because they are close to the capital officials, it's ugly to say it. Yes, if they really want to find something wrong, the Qi family really can't help it.
Serious officials and eunuchs discussing relatives, whether they succeed or not, they can have a charter, and naturally they can't do the kind of forced marriage.
The Lu family insisted on rushing their daughter to the Qi family this time. Even the unintelligent family like Fang could see that they were targeting the Qi family's property, but they just didn't point it out, didn't explain it, that's all. Hanging, it made Qi's house unable to get up and down.
The Qi family has no clan support, no official status, even if it is placed in the yamen, it will not take advantage of it.
Liu Shi originally wanted to delay, wait a moment, and seeing the eagerness of the Lu family, Wu Shi could not wait for a while, so he would naturally find someone else.
Who knows that his family has to say it in front of outsiders, as if everyone thinks that the two families are going to get married, only they themselves don't know.
If it is not allowed, the Lu family will definitely refuse to forgive, and it will be their own who will suffer at that time.
But it was allowed, and it was Saburo who was in the pit.
The Lu family is just playing a hooligan, and there is no way to take him. If it weren't for this, Mr. Fang wouldn't be so angry that his scalp would go numb.
But before coming here this time, Erlang said don't be afraid, everything is naturally taken care of, it seems that Qi Yun has already made a decision, and Fang Shi is willing to take the lead.
If it was someone else, I was afraid that I would be afraid of the east and the west, but Fang was different. Qi Yun recognized that Fang was a family-friendly person with a simple personality. Even though he was usually cautious, his personality was straight and he was never afraid of things.
There is almost no need to explain, as long as Qi Yun guarantees that the sky falls and he bears it, Mr. Fang will be able to do this.
And taking a step back, Mr. Fang himself felt more and more of the importance of Saburo. He was the only one among the three brothers in the family who took the imperial examinations. Of course, he had to be careful not to be abused by someone like the Lu family.
In addition, Fang Shi knew that Miss Lu Qi was pregnant, and even felt that the Lu family was crazy.
Where is this marriage? This is clearly bullying Qi's family without anyone to rely on, and forcibly planting grass on Saburo's head!
Today's trip, we must help Saburo to pull the grass clean.
But Mrs. Fang was gnashing her teeth on the carriage, but when she got off the carriage, it was calm. She even smiled when she saw Mrs. Wu: "Mrs. Lu is well, why didn't you see the seventh girl today?"
And this affectionate transformation, but it took Fang Shi a lot of effort, almost used up her lifelong endurance.
And when Mr. Wu got off the carriage, the smile on his face was also very real.
She was originally from a businessman, and she is a continuation of the string. She is not decent enough in her husband's family. Now she is trying to cover up her daughter's ugliness, and she is forced by her husband's family to hold on to the Qi family. Moving, in addition to spreading some words behind Wu's back, he thought of starting from Qi Saburo. Who knew that Qi Saburo was bored in the academy and didn't go out, and Wu could do nothing.
Seeing the smile on Mrs Fang's face at this moment, she was relieved and said with the corners of her mouth bent: "My girl has caught the cold and can't come out. She is raising her at home."
Mr. Fang and Mrs. Wu entered the teahouse together, and said while going up the stairs: "Then take good care of them, don't come out to beat the wind, and see that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is better to take care of them earlier, Otherwise, I am afraid that the excitement of the New Year will be lost."
Mr. Wu thought to himself that Mr. Fang came out of a small family, so he knew it was lively, but he said warmly with a smile on his face: "I want to borrow your auspicious words."
When they got upstairs, Mr. Wu found that it was empty, and there was no one else besides them.
This made Mrs Wu look at Mrs Fang: "Why is it so clean?"
Mrs Fang smiled, thinking to herself, this is what Qi Yun bought not long ago, and now it is the property of the Qi family, of course, it is as clean as you want.
However, Mrs Fang said in the mouth: "Only quiet can be worthy of the status of a lady, and it is also more decent."
It's strange to say this, how could it be dishonorable to eat a meal of tea.
But Wu Shi didn't think about it, so he and Fang Shi found a seat by the window and sat down.
And what followed Fang was not an ordinary person who followed Fang, but Mrs. Liu by Liu's side.
She went out the door after the two went up, and winked at the person at the door.
As a result, the Qi family's groom's entourage, who had been quiet just now, suddenly became extraordinarily enthusiastic. They dragged the Lu family's people to have a drink, and they were also very forthright to treat guests.
In the end, they all do things under their hands. Now when someone invites guests to drink, no one is willing to refuse, so they gather together in twos and threes.
And Mrs. Fang smiled at Mrs. Wu: "Although this is a place to eat tea, the refreshments are also excellent. Madam might as well try it."
Mr. Wu looked at the desserts on the table, picked up the handkerchief to cover the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It looks good, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my family got a box of cakes from the adult in Beijing, and the government office also sent them. Come for a snack, the relationship gets closer, and the future is easy to talk about."
Fang's face had a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that this was what Wu's grasped.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't dare to plant grass and flowers on their Saburo's head.
But just when Mr. Fang couldn't hold back, a carriage appeared on the long street outside.
Then in the afterglow of the evening, Mr. Fang could see that the carriage was somewhat familiar.
She couldn't help putting down the chopsticks in her hand and said in surprise, "Isn't this the carriage I saw outside the temple last time? Madam, is there anyone else coming from your family?"
Wu Shi couldn't help but probe into it, and then his expression changed slightly.
The two of them watched the carriage drive past the teahouse and stopped in front of a courtyard not far away. A man in a black robe descended from above. They couldn't tell the man or woman, nor the figure. Soon into the yard.
But other people don't know, Wu Shi is the mother of Seventh Girl, so she can see it clearly.
That is his own daughter, his own daughter.
Wu shi secretly scolded her for being unsatisfactory, because she was afraid that her daughter was thinking about going out to meet her lover while she was going out, and she was afraid that her previous advice to her would be forgotten.
But Mr. Wu couldn't pick it up either, so he could only say: "You're wrong, this carriage is not the same as my family's, it's just similar."
Mr. Fang didn't say much, just nodded as he accepted the statement, and didn't delve into it, just picked up the tea and stuffed it into his mouth.
In fact, the way is a little nervous. She is doing this kind of thing for the first time. Even though she has resentment to support her courage, she still carries her heart and eats something to strengthen her courage.
However, Mrs. Liu, who was on the side, watched without saying a word, but she thought to herself that the eldest young grandmother was afraid that she would not be able to have dinner for a while in the future.
Fang focused on eating, but Wu's eyes looked out.
She begged a lot in her heart, but it always backfired.
When she saw a car of her mother's family parked outside the yard, Wu finally couldn't help but changed her face and almost threw the chopsticks in her hand.
But Mrs Wu held back, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she turned her head to wink at the old woman beside her.
The old woman also knew about the scandal between her young lady and the Wu family's great man, so naturally she didn't dare to slack off, and went downstairs quietly, preparing to find someone to find out the two people and hide them before Fang Shi found out that something was different.
But when the mother-in-law went down, I saw that the two coachmen and a few entourages brought by myself were drunk, and they were mixed with the Qi family, but I couldn't find a sober one!
On the contrary, the two old ladies from the Qi family saw her approaching and grabbed her: "Old sister has some free time? Come, let's have a drink together, and some people have brought roast chicken, let's eat together. ."
"I do not… "
Without waiting for her to refute, she was pulled away and stuffed the drumstick in her mouth, unable to speak.
Upstairs, Mrs. Fang smiled and held the tea, talking to Mrs. Wu, but her eyes were looking out, anxious in her heart.
After a while, I saw smoke coming from the back of the yard!
There was a lot of smoke, like something was on fire.
Mr. Fang knew in his heart that his Erlang had arranged for someone to light wet firewood outside the fence behind the yard. There was smoke, but it was not easy to catch fire.
On the face, Fang Shi's face was contrived and wrong: "What's the matter?"
If Mr. Wu could observe carefully, he would definitely be able to see that Mr. Fang's performance was too much, and it was not real at all.
But at this moment, all Wu's thoughts were drawn by the small yard, and he didn't realize Fang's thoughts at all.
She stood up hurriedly, scolding the old lady in her heart for not doing things well, and she hadn't dragged anyone out for so long.
I was also a little worried, for fear that it would really catch fire and burn my daughter and her nephew to death.
Then I thought about it, the shame of burning to death, but it's still clean after death.
But just as she was thinking wildly, Mrs Fang had already said, "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up, go all, hurry up!"
Hearing this, Mrs Wu was startled and grabbed Mrs Fang: "This... don't need to go..."
In the end, Mrs Fang looked at her with a look of condemnation: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. How can Madam not even understand this? If you are like this, how can you discipline your children well."
Wu:…
Inexplicably, Mrs. Fang's words were a bit ironic, but before Mrs. Wu could speak, Mrs. Fang had already led Mrs. Liu down the stairs.
Wu Shi hurriedly followed. She was probably too anxious. When she went out, she didn't even notice that there was not a single person she brought with her, and even the old lady disappeared.
Mr. Fang, on the other hand, led people to surround the yard, and asked them to open the door and rush in to "save people".
There were already a lot of people around, but there were few people watching, and they were all thinking about saving people. Seeing someone came to help, the people onlookers hurriedly stepped aside and let the people brought by Mr. Fang go in first.
When the seven girls and Wu Dalang, who were a little confused, were dragged out, Mr. Fang's eyes widened and he looked at Mrs. Wu and asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Shi was already a little flustered, but she still said calmly: "This is my mother's nephew. They grew up and are brothers and sisters. I want to come this time... This time is also to fight the fire... "
It is said here that Mr. Wu himself doesn't believe it, but who knows, Mrs. Fang seems to believe it, and said very considerately: "Seven girls are kind and kind, it's really not easy, but you have to come out and run in the cold like this. I'm afraid it will get worse." After speaking, Mr. Fang turned his head and said, "Li Langzhong, come over and show the Seventh Lady and Wu Dalang, don't smoke out any disease."
Mrs Wu was a little confused, why did Mrs Fang bring her husband when she went out
But Wu Shi was stunned, but Seventh Girl was sober.
Her parents didn't know that she was pregnant. Seventh girl originally thought that her mother said that Qi Saburo would depend on her own family, so as long as she got married early, even if Qi Saburo knew about it, she would not make it public, otherwise he would lose his face. .
But it must not be revealed now!
She struggled immediately: "No, I can't..."
"I'm afraid the girl is frightened, Mama Liu, quickly find someone to support her." Mrs Fang greeted people in a very kind manner.
Then there were two old women who pinched the seventh girl on the left and the right, and forcibly held her.
Miss Lu Qi deliberately refused, but she couldn't think of a reason, and she didn't dare to show it, her face turned red.
Li Langzhong put his hand on Seventh Girl's wrist in the past, narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak immediately, but went back to look at Wu Dalang again.
Wu Shi didn't know the inside story, so naturally he didn't panic.
But the seventh girl was already paralyzed on the ground, and Wu Dalang was so smoked that he was a little confused.
Fang Shi was concerned: "How are they?"
Li Langzhong said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I was suddenly smoked to the point of unconsciousness, it's good to rest for a while, but the fetus in this girl's womb is less than two months old, and it's important to avoid intercourse. ."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence, except for the occasional sound of horses snorting from outside the door.
Wu Shi was stunned, she really didn't know there was such a thing, and subconsciously screamed: "You are talking nonsense!"
Li Langzhong is the most embarrassed to underestimate his medical skills, his face sank: "There is no doubt that Huamai, the old man has never missed it, and please don't slander the old man."
Before Wu Shi could speak again, Fang Shi had already burst out.
She has endured this tone for a long time, and now she finally has an excuse, and naturally she has no affection: "No wonder you are so anxious to get married, so you have such a dirty mind! Even if my Qi family is not a businessman, But anyway, they are innocent people. My family, Saburo, is fond of reading and learning. He has taken three exams, knows etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat, yet he was teased like this by you! Your mother and daughter are really inhuman!"
Wu Shi wanted to refute: "You guys are from a mud leg..."
"Snakes and snakes are eloquent, and they come from the mouth, and the clever words are like a spring, and the face is thick! You can't carve a rotten wood, and you can't plaster a wall of dung!"
Wu:…
Madam Liu looked at Mrs. Fang and suddenly understood why the second young master felt that it was appropriate for his eldest young grandmother to do this.
This scholar scolds others because Wenxuanxuan is different.
Fang Shi was so happy that he actually wanted someone to beat them up. It's just that Erlang told them carefully when they went out, and she just gave them a vicious look, turned her head and left.
The people brought by the Qi family also followed and walked clean, leaving only the Wu family facing her daughter whose face was smudged by smoke and crying, and Wu Dalang, who is now unconscious.
Wu Shi was trembling with anger, but she knew that she had to figure it out now.
At this time, the old woman who was gagged by the chicken leg ran over, and Wu Shi immediately scolded: "Where have you gone, old man! Where are people, where have people gone!"
The old woman tremblingly said: "I've been drunk by the Qi family, and I can't even stand..."
Wu Shi was stunned for a moment, but her head was in a mess, and she really had no idea. Today was too exciting. She could only ask her mother-in-law to find a driver first, and gave him enough money to keep his mouth shut. Drive the car back.
Wu shi went home in a frightened manner. She couldn't even remember to scold Seventh Girl, but she only wondered if it would become a big problem, and how would she explain it to her husband if it became a big problem.
Seeing her panic, the old woman on the side hurriedly said: "Madam, it's okay, we still have people in the capital to rely on, don't be afraid of the Qi family, don't worry, it's a big deal, let's not talk about this marriage, the girl can still see other people's families again. ."
Wu shi frowned and scolded: "Who dares to want her? It's a shameful thing, I knew she would have been killed in the first place."
The seventh girl was so frightened that she cried and didn't dare to say a word.
But Wu Shi didn't know if he was comforting himself, so he said softly to himself: "Husband said that if the marriage fails, he will try to steal the Qi family's brewing recipe. Now they are shameless and don't marry, then We can't blame us if we have a vengeance. Yes, it must be like this, to stop their mouths, otherwise my daughter and I will not survive. "
After chanting a few more words, the old woman didn't dare to argue with her after hearing it. She kept her head down, but she also scolded the wrong master in her heart. You can imagine such a thing that harms Yin and morality.
When she returned to the Lu family, Mrs Wu immediately sent someone to send it back to the seventh girl to be locked up, but she thought about it, and planned to sue the Qi family first, and then talk to her own daughter.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw that several uncles of the Lu family were there, and their faces were not good-looking.
Wu shi was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was the truth, and his legs softened and he almost knelt down.
When the head of the Lu family saw her coming back, he sighed and said a little dejectedly: "Xin'er came to the capital just now, saying that the privy clerk was dismissed from office and sent back to his original place."
