Ye Pingrong also knew Qi's pharmacy. Before, when Meng Shi pretended to be the proprietress of Meng's pharmacy, he was invited by Dong's to come over for tea. Ye Pingrong was still outside for a long time as a guard, and he reunited with his sister here. Yes, the natural memory here is fresh.

The only difference from that time is that now the Qi family pharmacy is bigger and looks much more stylish.

Although Fang Li is a prudent and upright person, he is not a person who is good at business research. After taking over the pharmacy, he is just food and clothing, and he has no big thoughts.

But after having a son, Fang Li devoted himself to expanding the business and making a fortune for his wife and children. Naturally, he was willing to spend a lot of thought and planning. doubled.

Before, he swallowed the shops on the left and right, but now he has even taken down the opposite side of the street.

The original Qi's pharmacy sold medicines, and the opposite was the medical clinic where Li Langzhong and several other Langzhong sat in town. Looking across the street, they also did a good job.

But since it is the Qi family's business, it is naturally the Qi family's brand.

Ye Pingrong looked at it, thinking that it was his brother-in-law's property, so he couldn't sit back and ignore it. Even if he didn't believe what the mad woman said, he still wanted to see it.

No matter how bad it is, he is also a court official now, and he can support him if something goes wrong.

Tie Zi was also anxious, he couldn't tell if what Ye Pingrong said was ironic, it would be bad if Ye Pingrong misunderstood his second young master.

Hearing Ye Pingrong's words, Tie Zi immediately responded and said, "I'll go take a look too." Then he quickly followed Ye Pingrong.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Li saw them.

It was Fang Li's advice to ask someone to invite Qi Yun. This is the second young master's family affairs. He doesn't want to get involved. He is here to wait for Qi Yun, but Ye Pingrong and Tie Zi came instead.

Because the last time Ye Erlang came to make trouble, Fang Li had seen Ye Pingrong and knew that he was the elder brother of the second young mistress, so he immediately went out and cupped his hands: "It turns out that Young Master Ye is here.

Ye Pingrong returned a salute, while Tie Zi and Fang Li asked softly after seeing the salute, "Manager Fang, where is the person?"

Since Tie Zi was a powerful person by Qi Yun's side, he had nothing to hide from him, so Fang Li raised his hand and led them to the backyard.

While walking through the front hall, Tie Zi glanced at it and found that there was a pile of broken pieces of porcelain on the ground that he had not had time to clean up, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Fang Li's face was a little helpless: "Just when the few people were dragged in, there was a lot of noise, and they broke two bottles at random. This is all good white porcelain."

Tie Zi also heard Fang Li's distress, hurriedly said a few words of comfort, and went to the backyard with him.

As soon as he passed by, a sharp voice was heard in the distance: "Let Qi Er come out! He's sorry for my family, sorry for my daughter! My family worked so hard for them, and they got this result. It's hard for little people like us, the world is not fair, the world is not fair!"

A few people quickened their pace and walked through the corridor, and there was a woman sitting on the ground, shouting, slapping her thighs and slapping the ground, rubbing the soil all over her body, but she was full of energy, and it sounded extraordinarily strong.

On the side, a young man was dragging a teenage girl without saying a word, especially the girl, whose face was pale and full of tears, seemed to be frightened.

On the other side, there were the guys working in the pharmacy, and Mr. Dong who frowned at them.

As for the identities of these three people, Dong is very clear.

Before, the story of Liu's sending the goblin's family to protect his daughter-in-law has spread throughout the town. When Dong's family is usually drinking tea and watching flowers with those women in the back house, even the ladies of the official family in the city say Ye Jiao is very lucky to have the care of her mother-in-law.

After all, the biggest mountain for a woman after marriage is her relationship with her mother-in-law. The more official the mother-in-law is, the more she likes to do things. Today, she asks her daughter-in-law to set the rules, and tomorrow she will give her son a concubine. This is a common occurrence.

It's not that they deliberately disturbed the house, but that the parents of this family are getting old, and it depends on the son's ability. If the son is captured by the daughter-in-law, some mother-in-law think that their son will not be filial.

They simply messed up with them, as long as they held on to their son, their daughter-in-law was just an outsider in their hearts, and they didn't care how much they suffered.

What's more, like the Wu family, the mother-in-law condoned the concubine to kill the wife, it was amazing.

Now, of course, the Qi family's style was quickly regarded as a positive example, and it was quickly spread by these daughters-in-law.

As the wife of the shopkeeper of the Qi family, Mr. Dong went to inquire about it, and soon knew the ins and outs.

When the wicked woman was thrashing in the streets, she stared at them and had them arrested.

In fact, according to Dong's temper, when encountering such a rascal scoundrel, find someone to beat him, and then throw it out. This kind of thing is to bully the soft and fear the hard. As long as they are a little bit ruthless, they will run faster than anyone else.

But now Mr. Dong can't do it. First, it's because of the old and the young, and if he breaks it, he is afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit. Second, Mrs. Dong understands what Mrs. Liu means. Now Ye Jiao is pregnant with a child. When it was time to accumulate yin and virtue, Mrs. Liu believed in these things while eating fast and reciting Buddha. Mr. Dong was afraid that he would hit them. Even if he solved the problem, he would make Mrs. Liu unhappy.

In the end, she and Fang Li wanted to make a living under the Qi family, and of course they couldn't provoke the hostess' mother's annoyance.

Therefore, Mr. Dong just asked people to gag them and drag them in, so as not to disturb the reputation of the owner outside, but Mr. Dong did not know what to do next.

And Mrs. Li was still crying and grabbing the ground: "The Qi family treats my son and daughter badly, my daughter, a big girl with a yellow flower, entered their house, and she was thrown out after being abused. We will also be blasted out, which will allow our family to live, how to live!"

Fang Cao on the side trembled even more, and finally couldn't hold back, and rushed up to cover Mrs. Li's mouth.

It's not because my mother opened her eyes and said nonsense, but because Mrs. Li has made it clear that she is harming her reputation!

In fact, when Fangcao was blasted out by the Qi family before, she didn't feel anything, but it was because she couldn't hook up and lost her job, and she didn't sign a sales contract, she just came out and did other things.

But when Fangcao returned home, they realized that their entire family had been kicked out by the Qi family.

Her father and her eldest brother were kicked out of Zhuangzi, and her mother was kicked out by the Qi family, especially because the seduction failed this time, and all the wives her mother had been looking for with money were caught by Qi Yun. After going out, the old women took revenge on Mrs. Li and beat her hard.

When the family of four got together, they all lost their errands and the family had no income.

And who doesn't benefit from the favor of the Qi family in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships? Saw them all walking around.

Only then did Fang Cao understand that things were getting bigger.

After all, she's just a girl's family, and she doesn't know anything except crying.

But before she could finish crying, she heard that her parents were going to send her to be a concubine to an old rich family.

That person Fangcao knew that a person buried halfway in the loess was jealous of his wife and killed an unknown number of concubines. Where did he go and his life

She dragged her life and death, and cried with death.

Later, my parents said they had come up with a solution, and they even bought her bright clothes. Who would have thought that the solution was to make trouble in the town!

Even if Fangcao was young, she felt that as long as she left here and found another way, she would be able to live, but her parents sacrificed themselves in order to make a future for her eldest brother.

Before, she wanted to let herself hook up with the second young master, but later she wanted to sell herself as a concubine, and now she came out to ruin her reputation.

It's not like treating her daughter, but treating cats and dogs who can't speak.

Fang Cao suddenly felt that her family members had become very strange and strange, which made her tremble with fright.

But when Mrs. Li was screaming, Fangcao rushed up and said, "Mother, don't say it, please don't say it. If you do this, how will your daughter behave in the future?"

And Mrs. Li was all thinking about her son's plans, and she didn't care about her daughter's reputation. Seeing Fangcao wanted to cover her mouth, Mrs. Li pushed her away, pointed at her and scolded: "Useless things, you are stunned. What do you do? Cry for me, shout for me, girl who is incompetent, it's really a waste to support you!"

Fangcao had always been prepared to be sent to be a concubine, and she was so delicate that she had blood on her hands and pain in her hands. She couldn't say anything when she cried for a while.

When a few men came over, what they saw was this messy scene, and Mr. Dong, who was standing beside him, looked bored.

It's not that they can't see their minds. On the contrary, Mr. Dong can see clearly, but the more he sees it, the more annoying it becomes.

What kind of family is this, its roots are rotten.

Seeing Fang Li and the others coming, Mrs Dong hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed to each other, and then stood aside, obviously not willing to take care of it, because she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the unreasonable old piety who was sitting on the ground would be thrown away The mother-in-law threw it out.

But Tie Zi didn't have so many scruples. He was someone by Qi Yun's side. Everything had to be Qi Yun's top priority, and others were not important.

At this moment, listening to Mrs. Li's unreasonable words, he called someone to come: "Go, gag her mouth for me."

The little servant on the side also had a sore ear from the noise. Now that he saw someone who could call the shots, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, pressed Mrs. Li directly, and took a cloth to cover her mouth.

Even though Mrs. Li was brute force, she couldn't resist them, and she was tied up without much jumping.

The son Li Dalang next to him wanted to come up to protect him, but the guys were not so polite to him, and kicked him down when he stepped up.

Tie Zi took advantage of this time and asked Dong Shi carefully what happened.

When asked, Tie Zi also specifically understood: "This is the elder brother of the second young mistress, who has just returned from the capital. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the family's affairs, so Mrs. Dong will be more detailed."

The implication is, let Dong shi pick some, don't let Ye Pingrong misunderstand.

Mr. Dong could understand Tie Zi's meaning and his intentions, but Mr. Dong didn't think there was anything to hide.

Not only don't you have to hide it, but you have to tout it a lot. A gentleman like the second young master is really hard to find in the world, and it's uncomfortable to praise it a few times!

So, when Mr. Dong finished speaking, Tie Zi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that he was lucky, but his face was filled with resentment: "So that's what happened! What a waste of Madam's hard work towards them, I wanted to settle it well. , they don't know what to do, they are really shameless."

Ye Pingrong patted Tie Zi on the shoulder and said lightly: "I said that my brother-in-law is a good one, he can't do such a thing."

Hearing this, Mrs. Dong and Fang Li both nodded. Who doesn't know that the second young master and his wife are deeply in love. These are just for the sake of extorting money, only fools believe it.

Only Tie Zi looked complicated, because he knew that Ye Pingrong believed in his second young master, not because of his feelings, but because of his poor body... He really didn't know whether to tell the second young master.

In the end, Tiezi still chose to pretend he didn't know, and said sorry to the second young master in his heart, but his eyes turned to Mrs. Li.

Seeing this old woman's behavior just now, she knew that she was crazy, and Tiezi didn't bother to be hypocritical with her, so she kept her mouth shut, and Tiezi looked at Li Dalang, who was on the side: "You, tell me clearly, what's the matter? For what?"

Before he came, Li Dalang had already made up his mind, but now when Tie Zi asked, he stubbornly said, "Give us a sum of money and we'll leave."

And Mrs. Li didn't struggle anymore, and looked at Tie Zi expectantly.

But I don't know, Tie Zi, Fang Li and Dong's all have the same thoughts in their hearts, that is, it really is.

Only Ye Pingrong frowned and said, "Since my brother-in-law has nothing to do with this woman, it was your fault, so why should I give you money?"

As soon as these words came out, Tie Zi coughed lightly, walked to Ye Pingrong and said, "Young Master Ye, let's reason with those who are reasonable, and with those who can't be reasonable, we..." After saying this, Tie Zi suddenly stopped. .

He remembered that Qi Yun had said this to him. Just outside the gate of Qi's house, when a group of old women scolded Ye Erlang and Ye Er's sister-in-law, his young master said this to him.

'Things in this world, it's not that you want to be reasonable, there will always be someone who will tell you. And the person who wants to be shameless, we talk to him about shame, and the person who is shameless, just tear off his face and step on it. And reasonable people, we are reasonable, if we don’t talk about it, there will always be a yamen, and we can’t lose ourselves. '

Tie Zi may not be transparent enough in many things, but since the day he followed Qi Yun, he has recognized it, and what the young master said is right.

Turning Qi Yun's words around in his mind, soon, a thought came to Tie Zi's head.

At this moment, Tie Zi heard Li Dalang grit his teeth and say: "You are just relying on the great wealth of your family to bully us lonely people. Tell you, don't bully the poor."

Do not bully young poor

As soon as these words came out, Tie Zi immediately raised his eyebrows: "Yo, what's the matter, do you still want to take revenge?" Then, before Li Dalang could say anything, Tie Zi turned his head to look at Mr. Dong and asked, "What did they have just now? Broken something?"

Hearing this, Mr. Dong immediately pointed in the direction of the front hall: "Of course there are. The two vases I placed there were smashed to pieces by them."

Tie Zi immediately turned his head to look at Mrs. Li and Li Dalang, and said, "You heard it clearly, now, I will pay the money for the vase."

Dong shi understood: "Thirty passes, one less is not enough."

Li Dalang's face was flushed, and he shouted: "Why should we pay? It was clearly bumped when you were dragging!"

Tie Zi stared at him: "It's easy to say if you don't have money to pay for it, if you are tied to an official, you will be happy. I want to come to the official to give you a fair deal." Then Tie Zi bowed to Fang Li, "I also asked the shopkeeper Fang to do it. This is a testimony, and I can tell the county chief clearly, after all, thirty is not a small amount, so it is not good for the shop to suffer."

Before Fang Li could react, Mr. Dong responded first: "Don't worry, we are measured." After that, Mrs. Dong narrowed her eyes and looked at them.

They didn't do it just now, because of the owner's thoughts, but now that they are better, they have a way to go to the yamen, and it is up to them whether to use a stick or eat in prison.

And Li Dalang was the only one who was dragged away. Who made him a man? If something went wrong, he would naturally have to fight.

Mrs. Li didn't care about the troubles, she cried and chased Li Dalang away. She was a woman in the market. She didn't know much. Maybe she was good at playing tricks. , I can't even remember what I just said about the Qi family.

Only Fangcao, watching her mother and brother leave, wiped away her tears, her pale face changed, for a moment she was afraid of being beaten and scolded by her parents, and then she was afraid that she would be sold to that old wealthy household as a concubine and wait to die when she returned. .

In the end, she chose to sneak into the crowd quietly, not knowing where to go.

Dong Shi kept Ye Pingrong and Tie Zi for dinner, and the reason was good: "If the owner knows that Young Master Ye is here but has to leave on an empty stomach, the owner will probably blame it."

Ye Pingrong did not refuse, and had lunch at Qi's pharmacy.

But when the two went out again and got on the horse to continue their journey, Ye Pingrong suddenly said, "Your real name is Su Zheng, right?"

This name was given to Tie Zi by Qi Yun before he went to the capital. Tie Zi worshipped Qi Yun like a god and naturally remembered the name Qi Yun gave him clearly.

With a big smile on his face, Tie Zi said, "Yes, this is what I call it, but it sounds good, young master."

Ye Pingrong nodded and said, "Then, Su Zheng, if you want to join the army in the future, come to me."

Iron:…

Where is this going

However, Ye Pingrong just mentioned it suddenly, and didn't say anything more, then he took his horse and walked away, Tie Zi hurriedly followed, and the two ran towards Qi's house one after the other.

When they arrived at the gate of Qi's house, they happened to see a carriage parked outside the door.

Entering the door, as expected, Qi Ming was already sitting inside.

Originally, Ye Jiao didn't go out of the yard very often these days, but she wanted to see Ye Pingrong early, so she followed Qi Zhao to the front hall and waited. She was talking to Qi Ming at the moment.

Seeing Ye Pingrong entering the door, Ye Jiao immediately stood up with a bright smile on her face: "Brother, you are finally back."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Pingrong felt that his nose was sore.

Speaking of which, when Ye Pingrong was desperately fighting on the battlefield, he didn't even blink his brows, and when he was with Chu Chengyun in the capital, he could be frank.

But it is the little sister, the big brother, who can shout out all his soft-heartedness.

But Ye Pingrong was a little afraid to go over, staring straight at Ye Jiao's slightly long belly, and said, "This is, the eldest nephew?"

Xu Bao was also on the side, sitting in Qi Yun's arms with his calves dangling, listening to the adults talking. Hearing the words, Xu Bao said crisply: "It's Xu Bao!"

And Ye Pingrong looked at it and was stunned again: "Xubao can talk now?"

Qi Yun immediately walked over with Xu Bao in his arms, and first said to Ye Pingrong slowly: "Big brother." Then he whispered to Xu Bao, "My name is uncle."

Xu Bao had never heard this title before, blinked his eyes, pursed his mouth, and said softly, "Chirp."

Ye Jiao: …

Qi Yun: …

Pian Ye Pingrong laughed when he heard it, his laughter was hearty, tall and broad in chest, this laughter was more than one degree louder than others.

When Xu Bao heard this, he all ducked back, but he was not afraid, but looked at Ye Pingrong with his eyes open, his mouth slightly open, looking very surprised.

Ye Pingrong picked up the little baby and held it up high.

Xu Bao immediately giggled, thinking that this tweet was very good.

However, Ye Pingrong came back this time for business, and it happened that Qi Ming was there, so he only coaxed Xu Bao to play for a while, and seeing that Xu Bao was tired, he handed Xu Bao back to Qi Yun.

As soon as Xu Bao was taken over by his father, he immediately hugged Qi Yun's neck tightly, lying softly in his arms, panting tiredly, but still smiling, he seemed to be having fun.

And Ye Pingrong took out a box from his arms and gave it to Qi Ming solemnly: "This is what the third son asked me to bring to you, and it's safe."
