Qi Ming didn't say a word just now, and when Ye Pingrong came in, he just greeted him, and then sat in a chair and pondered.
In fact, he was searching for the story in his heart, so he didn't say anything when Xu Bao got around him.
Obviously Qi Ming needs to maintain the dignity of his little uncle in front of Xu Bao.
Now suddenly seeing the box that Ye Pingrong handed over, Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, and asked, "What is this for me, righteous brother?"
Ye Pingrong shook his head: "I don't know." How could he just open and look at the things the emperor gave
Last time, the box of the longevity lock was accidentally knocked open, but this time Ye Pingrong was careful and didn't scratch it at all.
When Qi Ming opened the box, he saw a book inside. He took it out and looked at it. After reading the words on it carefully, Qi Ming said in surprise, "Is this a copybook?" Recognized, "This is Zhong Shaojing's small script, "Ling Fei Jing"... My righteous brother and I really have a good understanding of each other, and he also knows that I am copying this recently."
Qi Yun silently glanced at his third brother, thinking to himself, it's not that people are miraculous, but that all your big characters have now been sent to the capital.
But Chu Chengyun was able to patiently read the large number of large characters, and Qi Yun suddenly felt that his third brother was probably more important than expected in that person's heart.
And although this copybook was engraved, the copybook has always been precious, and the authentic work is hard to find. Even if it is engraved, there are not many copies. It is very good to have one.
Qi Yun thought about it, that person treats the third brother really well. This copybook is not worth much, but it is very useful.
At this moment, Qi Ming let out a "huh", then smiled at the eight characters on the title page: "The word righteous brother is really getting better and better."
Hearing this, Qi Ming and Ye Pingrong both looked over, and soon saw the words written in the book.
'Tackling hardships at night, with perseverance'.
There is also a red seal at the back, probably a private seal with only two words.
Be cautious.
Just from the seal, you can see Chu Chengyun's good intentions.
Both of them had seen Chu Chengyun's handwriting before, and when they looked at each other, Ye Pingrong and Qi Yun both flashed surprise in each other's eyes.
This is an imperial pen, as long as it is an imperial pen, this booklet is extremely rare.
Qi Ming has always admired Chu Chengyun's literary talent, especially Chu Chengyun's good calligraphy, which he likes the most and highly respects.
Before, Qi Yun thought about asking Chu Chengyun to inscribe his Jinzun wine, which was recommended by Qi Ming.
He picked up the book, looked left and right, Qi Ming only felt that he couldn't read enough of these eight characters, and he couldn't give enough praise. When I see my righteous brother again in the future, I must let him write this copybook for me."
Ye Pingrong directly covered his mouth with his hand: "cough."
Qi Yun reached out and patted his younger brother's head: "Third brother be careful."
Asking Chu Chengyun to write you a copybook, thanks to what you think... But Qi Ming doesn't know anything, so Qi Yun can only think about these words, and can't say them.
But Ye Jiao didn't think about it that much. She leaned over to take a look and said with a smile, "It's beautiful."
In fact, Ye Jiao couldn't tell the difference between good and bad characters before, but she still practiced calligraphy for half an hour every day. Even though the circle characters she wrote became more round, Ye Jiao also knew that she wanted to write the characters squarely. It's not easy.
Chu Chengyun probably wrote it with great care, and every word was very neutral and full.
Just taking them apart, Ye Jiao knew them all, but when they put them together, they didn't understand what they meant. The little ginseng turned her head to Qi Ming and said, "Sanlang, what are you talking about?"
Qi Ming was happy in his heart, and his voice jumped: "These words mean, let me get up early and go to bed late, study my ambitions hard, and work harder."
Ye Pingrong actually didn't understand much. After hearing Qi Ming's words, he nodded, thinking in his heart that the emperor really liked Qi Ming and had more expectations for him than others.
Qi Yun picked up the tea cup, then put it down again, and said to Qi Ming warmly: "The third son said it is very true, the third brother, the way for scientific research is that ten thousand people cross the single-plank bridge, and few can pass it. Naturally, it has to be harder.”
Qi Ming only thought that his brother was encouraging himself, he just looked at the copybook and nodded with a smile.
But he heard Qi Yun say again: "Then you can do as I did before, the third brother will naturally work harder than me." Then Qi Yun looked at Liu Si who was on the side, "Go back and stare at Dian Saburo, don't. Let him go out and run around, get up early and go to bed late, and work hard, if he slacks off, write back and let me know."
Qi Ming: …
The copybooks that I thought were excellent just now became hot. Qi Ming wanted to say that he also wanted to go out and play. Even though the books were good, he had been bored in the academy for several months. How nice it was outside.
But before he could speak, he saw Ye Jiao who was still leaning over to read the copybook and got up with a smile, walked to Qi Yun's side and held Qi Yun's hand, and said softly, "Xiang Gong is really a good person."
Ye Pingrong also nodded and said with sincere emotion: "My brother-in-law is a righteous man, for the family and the country, and it is really rare that he can always think about urging his younger brother."
Liusi nodded as well, but he still stuttered and didn't speak. He just stared at Qi Ming, as if he was telling him with his eyes that reading is good, and reading is good when you go out to play.
For a while, Qi Ming didn't know whether it was the pit dug by his righteous brother or the pit dug for himself...
Qi Yun hugged Xu Bao tightly. Seeing the fat son rubbing his eyes, he knew he was sleepy, so he hugged him tighter and patted Xu Bao's back with a free hand to coax him. Looking at Qi Ming, his voice softened: "You must cherish this copybook, keep it away... No, take it with you."
Even though the Duan inkstone was given by Chu Chengyun before, it was still different from this kind of object written by the royal pen.
Qi Yun couldn't help thinking, maybe it's a stupid person who has a stupid blessing, and this younger brother of his own got a righteous brother before he made a name for himself.
But even if Qi Yun didn't tell him, Qi Ming wouldn't just put his righteous brother's copybooks indiscriminately.
He nodded, then became happy again, stood up and said, "Brother Ye, wait a minute, I'll go and write a letter to my righteous brother, and I've done several poems recently, all of them are good, wait for me to transcribe them. Bring one to my righteous brother."
Ye Pingrong followed Qi Ming to the study, while Ye Jiao sat next to Qi Yun, holding her chin, wondering what she was thinking.
Qi Erlang had already coaxed Xu Bao, so he handed Xu Bao to Mrs. Mo to carry him away, and then he stretched out his arms to embrace his wife and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"
Ye Jiao raised her head to look at him, blinked her eyes, and asked, "Xiaogong, did you study hard at night before?"
of course not.
Qi Yun has been sick since he was a child. This book is not something he likes to read, but because when the pain is unbearable, he cannot go out, and he is often sick in bed. There is no other entertainment except reading.
Even if I can't sleep at night, I feel uncomfortable, so I can only read books and chat to console myself.
And Qi Yun never concealed anything from Ye Jiao, and said softly, "I used to be uneasy, but I won't in the future."
"Don't read at night?"
"Well, I won't read it anymore. With Jiao Niang, why bother to pay attention to it."
The little ginseng blinked and suddenly said, "I don't believe it. It's clear that you are also studying books with me at night. Naturally, you are working hard."
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, but in the next second he realized that this book is not another book.
The tips of his ears suddenly turned red, and because Xiao Su and Tie Zi were both by his side, Qi Yun couldn't say anything more, so he tilted his head slightly, leaned into Ye Jiao's ear and said, "If I study with the lady, I will naturally be very happy. "
Ye Jiao smiled, her eyes were clear and clean, not stained with dust.
It's just that Tie Zi didn't keep staring at his master, but rubbed up to Xiao Su's side and looked at her with a smile.
Xiao Su was a little inexplicable, but he stood up straight, but his mouth moved slightly: "Brother Tie Zi, what are you laughing at?"
Tie Zi was still smiling, he didn't know what he was laughing about, but when he saw Xiao Su, he felt happy, and when he was happy, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't restrain himself.
It was probably because they had been together all the time before and couldn't feel any change. After walking for a few months before returning, Xiao Su felt different from before.
She has grown a little taller and is also a lot more refreshing. She used to be a little girl who spoke an octave lower, but now she looks like a newly grown willow tree, slender and tall.
On the other hand, Xiao Su has raised her head since the last time she hit Fangcao, and often changes make people grow up. Today's little girl has more ideas than before.
Seeing Tie Zi for a while now, Xiao Su has been silent for a while. After thinking about it, she asked in a low voice, "Are knee pads useful?"
Tie Zi nodded immediately: "It's easy to use, but it's easy to use, I take it with me every day."
Xiao Su looked at him: "It's hot today, so I don't believe you brought it."
Who knows, Tie Zi really patted his knee, Xiao Su clearly saw the shape of knee pads in his trouser legs.
It actually took it!
Now it's March day, the weather is warm, Xiao Su can't help but widen her eyes, wondering if this person is stupid
Tie Zi didn't realize it, and still smiled at her and said, "Young master gave me a name before, Xiao Su, you can call me Brother Zheng in the future."
Brother Zheng, shorter than "Brother Tie Zi".
Xiaosu nodded and called softly, "Brother Zheng."
It was clearly just a title, but Tie Zi seemed to be smothered in sugar, smiled a little silly, and answered crisply, "Hey!"
Xiaosu didn't understand what he was happy about, but seeing Tie Zixiao, she also bent the corners of her mouth.
At this time, a servant came in outside.
Tie Zi temporarily stopped talking with Xiao Su, walked over quickly, and after asking a few questions, he entered the hall and said to Qi Yun, "Second Young Master, the Fang family has sent someone to look for something. The eldest grandma speaks."
Qi Yun never asked more about Qi Zhao's affairs, even though the three brothers were close, but in the end the courtyards were separated, Qi Zhao didn't have the heart to inquire about other people's private affairs, so he said: "Let the little servant find the sister-in-law, If you don't see it or not, just listen to the arrangement of the sister-in-law."
When the little servant went to look for Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang was preparing clothes for Qi Zhao in the yard.
The spring day in March is the time when the flowers are blooming for others. It is most comfortable to enjoy peach blossoms and wine. But for Qi Zhao, this time is the busiest time in Zhuangzi. In previous years, Qi Zhao would go to Zhuangzi to live for a while. .
In the past, Mrs. Fang would go with him, but now that she has Shishi, she is busy looking for a school for Shishi and plans to stay at home.
Hearing that there were people coming from her mother's family, Mrs. Fang did not let them in, but said to the servant, "Tell them, just say that I will accompany Dalang to Zhuangzi, not at home, I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half to wait. come back."
The servant didn't ask much, wrote it down and left, while Qi Zhao, who was playing with Shitou, heard the words and looked at Mrs Fang strangely: "Miss, do you want to accompany me? Who will find a school for Shishi?"
Fang Shi was picking out the clothes to bring to Qi Zhao, he lowered his head slightly, and replied, "I won't go with you, I just blocked my brother and brother with words and told them to go back, don't think about it all the time. Work hard for me."
Qi Zhao deliberately asked what happened, but his son was still looking at him eagerly.
After thinking about it, Qi Zhao picked up the stone, put it on the chair in front of the table, and stuffed him with a writing brush: "Write well, your mother will check it later."
Stone:…
Then Qi Zhao walked over and sat next to Mrs Fang, asking her what happened.
Originally, Mrs. Fang would not tell Qi Zhao about her family's affairs, but this time, she didn't hide it at all: "I'm afraid they may ask you to come to you in the future, please remember, don't agree. "
"What's wrong?"
Fang looked back at the stone that was obediently writing with a writing brush, and then he took Qi Zhao to the outer room, sat down and said, "After the Chinese New Year, my brother has been looking for me, and let me try to get in touch with the second brother. Dip."
Qi Zhao was a little puzzled: "Your brother is a scholar, and your second brother is in business, how can you make them shine?"
Fang Shi said angrily: "I don't know where he heard the relationship, but he climbed up to a distant relative in Zhizhou. The distant relative in Zhizhou was surnamed Shao, and he did business in the city, especially the wine shop and restaurant business did well. Now that the second brother's shop is doing well, my brother is thinking about letting the second brother give benefits to the Shao family. It is just for his own consideration."
Whether it's to donate an official or to sell well, it's always for his own sake, and he didn't think about the Qi family at all.
If the Shao family really wants to negotiate with Qi Yun, it is enough for themselves, why bother with the trustee
Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this pretext, whether true or not, was just for money.
Still take money out of the pocket of the second brother.
It's just that his eldest brother's detour is a bit big, and he can't think of a way to ask his sister-in-law to find his brother-in-law to give money to outsiders.
Without waiting for Qi Dalang to say anything, Mrs Fang continued: "If he wants to find something to do, I can help. After all, he is a relative and I will do whatever he can. But he is clearly trying to please others, but he wants me to do it. Use your own face to seek benefits from the second brother, to block his pit, this is called generosity to others, it is selfish, and it will ruin your brotherhood. them."
In fact, Mrs Fang is still that stingy temperament and has never changed it, but she is also reasonable.
If her brother and sister-in-law are so short of money that their eyebrows are burning, she can try to find some way to help them solve their urgent needs.
But now it's clear that it's her maiden's family who are whimsical and want to benefit from themselves, but they don't think about themselves at all. Fang's temper is not a doughy temper, so naturally he is not happy.
If she didn't face it, she was already worried about her brother-sister relationship. If there were too many, she wouldn't do anything.
Qi Zhao blinked his eyes and looked at Mrs Fang with such determination.
Causing Mr. Fang to take a look at him: "Why do you always look at me like this?"
Qi Zhao looked at her with a smile and said, "I think my daughter-in-law is doing well, she is very good."
Fang Shi's face flushed red, and he beat him.
But the two more people didn't talk about it. After all, it was Fang's maiden family. Qi Zhao couldn't say whether it was good or bad, so he just wrote it down and walked around it recently.
And Mr. Fang, after packing Qi Zhao's burden, carried the stone and went to Liu's yard.
Ye Jiao was also with the Liu family at this moment.
Xu Bao woke up after sleeping for a while. He didn't take a long nap, and sometimes Ye Jiao opened his eyes before he woke up.
This time, Ye Jiao finally got out of the yard, thinking that she hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time, so she came with Qi Yun and Xu Bao.
However, Qi Yun didn't stay long before talking to Ye Pingrong, leaving Liu Shi and Ye Jiao sitting next to the soft couch, while Xu Bao was eating milk cakes on the soft couch, his smiling eyes narrowed. .
When Shishi came, Xu Bao's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Brother Shishi!"
Shitou also missed him very much, kicked his shoes onto the soft couch, and soon hugged Xu Bao, but when Xu Bao smiled and hugged his arm, Shitou's little brows tightened.
Before Mr. Fang could sit down to take a breath, he saw Shitou with his mouth deflated and grabbed Mrs. Liu's hand.
People of the next generation are always very close, and the Liu family is the same.
Although after having Xubao, Liu's family is not as fond of Shishi as before, but she treats her grandchildren with a bowl of water, and she loves this and that.
Seeing Xu Bao dragging himself, Liu Shi immediately grabbed Shitou's little hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Shishi?"
Stone shook his arm: "Sour, grandma rubs it."
Upon seeing this, Mrs Fang said, "Probably I have practiced calligraphy a lot in the past few days, so it's not a problem."
Mrs Liu could also hear Shitou being coquettish, most likely it wasn't really sour, but Mrs Liu was still softhearted, and immediately reached out to let Shishi lay down, and then squeezed Shishi's arm and said, "He is still young, and he can read and write well. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Fang shi responded with a smile, but she didn't really write it down in her heart. She still had to write what should be written, so that she would not be fooled by her son.
Shi Shi was lying obediently, watching Liu Shi rubbing his arms, and suddenly regained the feeling that his grandmother spoiled him alone.
Xu Bao, who was on the side, was eating the milk cake. Seeing this, he looked at Liu Shi, then at the stone, and then shoved the rest of the milk cake into his mouth.
Then, he lay down straight.
The little fat body twisted, first rolled around on the spot, and then rubbed against Ye Jiao's side.
Facing Ye Jiao's puzzled look, Xu Bao said softly, "Mother, rub it."
As soon as these words came out, both Fang and Liu laughed.
Especially Liu Shi, who couldn't stop laughing: "This kid learns things fast, and he knows how to fight."
Ye Jiao stretched out her hand and hesitated for a while, thinking that her son didn't write, and his arm wouldn't be sore, so just rub it.
So, Xiao Xubao was rubbed on the soft couch by his mother and rolled several times, but he was still happy. When Ye Jiao retracted his hand, he also rolled around, and then rubbed against the stone, a hold the stone.
And Shitou would never refuse the milky brother's younger brother, and also grabbed Xu Bao's hand, forgetting for a while that his arm was sore, and sat up to play ball with Xu Bao.
The two children went to play by themselves, and the adults also had time to drink some tea and eat something.
Because the weather was getting warmer and the flowers were in full bloom, Mrs. Liu wanted to find a time to go out and have a look. Although Ye Jiao couldn't walk around too much yet, the garden on the mountain was almost done, so she just invited Mrs. Liu to visit. Look, it's all Qi Yun's filial piety.
Liu Shi was naturally happy, and was about to agree when he heard a burst of thunder outside.
Although it was only a slight tremor, and the others didn't take it seriously, Ye Jiao frowned slightly and stood up while supporting Xiao Su next to her.
Liu Shi looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It feels like it's going to rain." Her voice paused, "Heavy rain."
She has been in the mountains for thousands of years, and she has seen many things in Chunlei and Dongxue.
At that time, the little ginseng never took the form of a human, regardless of whether it was sane or not, the main body was always the essence of individual ginseng. When it grows in the ground, it will be stuffy when it snows, and it will be suffocated when it rains. Even if the ginseng grows legs, it can’t run fast. Have a meal. When the weather changes, small ginseng naturally needs to be prepared early.
Even now, Ye Jiao is always more sensitive than others.
When it was raining and snowing before, the movement was small, Ye Jiao didn't feel anything, but found it interesting.
But this time was different, Ye Jiao helped Xiao Su to the door and took a look. Even if there was no rain in the sky, she thought it would be heavy rain.
Liu Shi and Fang Shi do not know whether it is true or not, but the sound of thunder is real. No matter how heavy or small the rain is, it is always right to prepare early.
Just in case, Mrs. Liu asked people to quickly collect everything in the yard at home. The flowers outside had to be covered with coarse cloth to prevent the water from being damaged. The basement was padded with wood to prevent rainwater from being poured. And Mr. Fang went back and told Qi Zhao that he would not go to Zhuangzi for the time being, but just let people send a letter to let the tenants be careful.
That night, it rained heavily, pouring like a pillar, and it stopped for ten days in a row.
