This golden plaque made the Qi family a big show, and what was different from before was that Qi's father and Liu's no longer hid it, but made a big splash to the point that everyone wanted to know about it. .
In fact, when Qi Saburo got the little three yuan, they wanted to celebrate like this.
It's just that the previous emperor had just passed away. Even though the emperor had pity on the people and left an edict telling the world that the people would only be mourned for three days, those with a little discernment would not make a big deal out of it. That's good, so at that time I just closed the door and had a drink, and it wasn't very lively.
Later, the Qi family opened stores again and again, and Qi's father restrained his sons and did not make too much noise.
In the final analysis, businessmen are doing business with smiley faces, and what they welcome and send is about personal relationships. It is enough to know how much money they have. There is no need to shout all over the world. It is inevitable that people will hate them and affect their reputation.
However, this time, it was something that really showed his face.
The thing bestowed by the royal family, the emperor said that our family is high and clean, who else dares to say nothing
Look at it all, look at it all, this decency is naturally not afraid of people looking at it.
The flowing water table has been set up for several days. No matter whether you have friendship with the Qi family or not, they will come to congratulate them on the day, and eating a meal can be regarded as a good relationship.
Although Ye Jiao didn't go to the front yard, there were often people in her yard.
Early this morning, I saw Dong and Zheng coming together.
Since Mrs. Zheng was the maid of the county magistrate, Ye Jiao still remembered what Mrs. Liu had taught before and wanted to stand up to greet her, but Mrs. Zheng hurriedly took a few steps to support her, only to hear Mrs. Zheng say, "Don't, Jiao Niang, you are now The most important thing is to avoid these.”
When Xu Bao saw them, he straightened his back, his round eyes were gurgling, and he looked at Dong's back eagerly: "Where's Brother Huzi?"
Dong Shi is also a mother for the first time, and has always liked children, especially Xu Bao, who has a chubby appearance, speaks crisply and sweetly, and those beautiful eyes soften the heart, which is naturally rare. , walked two steps over and hugged Xu Bao in his arms, and said with a smile, "Brother Huzi didn't come today, so I must bring him to play with Xu Bao next time, okay?"
Xu Bao is no longer the easy-going and fooling person he used to be. Hearing this, he looked at Mr. Dong and stretched out his fleshy hand: "Pull the hook."
When Dong Shi was stunned, Ye Jiao said from the side: "Last time Tie Zi promised to bring snacks to Xiao Su, and the two of them pulled the hook, and he learned it when he saw it."
For adults, this kind of agreement is very naive, but for Xu Bao, it seems extra serious.
Ye Jiao also specially warned: "If you have a relationship with Chunlan, you must remember to bring Huzi next time. Xu Bao is very smart and will write it down."
Xu Bao has always been someone who can only hear others compliment him. He raised his head and said crisply: "Xu Bao, smart!"
Dong shi held back a smile and stretched out his little finger to him.
Xu Baoren's small hands and fingers were short, so he couldn't hook them, so he grabbed them directly, then shook them gently, and nodded, as if he was extremely satisfied.
Zheng Shi, who was on the side, couldn't help but covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Jiao Niang's child is so smart, it's really amazing, and it will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future."
As soon as Xu Bao heard this, he immediately turned his head, a little dazed: "It's not cold."
Zheng Shi smiled again, but explained patiently: "That means Xu Bao will become a high official in the future."
Xu Bao came to the spirit: "Yes, when the prime minister, take care of daddy!"
As soon as these words came out, there was laughter in the room immediately, and Xu Bao was still a little angry, his little butt was twisting, and it seemed that he was not happy for them to laugh.
This is Xu Bao's big ambition, and he is very serious.
But when Ye Jiao put Xu Bao next to him again and fed him the egg custard, Xu Bao immediately forgot the rhetoric just now, and waited with his mouth open with a smile.
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Dong sat aside, looking at Xu Bao, Mrs. Dong was somewhat envious: "This child is really easy to manage, very well behaved, not like the one from my family, he is well-behaved and honest outside, and he goes home to be a blessing."
When the other person changed, I was afraid to say a few words of humility and talk about her own children's bad, but Ye Jiao replied with a smile: "Hu Zi is lively and Xu Bao is obedient, so everything is fine."
When Zheng Shi heard the words, he pursed his lips and smiled.
People are often like this. If she likes a person, she is right in whatever she does and what she does. If she gets bored, then everything is wrong and she can't pick the right place.
Now Zheng shi firmly remembers Ye Jiao's kindness for saving her daughter, and when she catches up with her, she also likes Ye Jiao's temperament very much. Naturally, she likes Ye Jiao's temperament. Your dolls are about the same age, and they will all be studying in one place in the future."
When Ye Jiao heard this, she looked down at Xu Bao who was eating egg custard, thinking about what Qi Yun said before that she wanted to teach him to read.
Mr. Dong was so happy to play with the child. After Xu Bao finished eating the egg custard, he stood up and wanted to ride the pony, but the child could not move around after eating, so Mr. Dong volunteered to take Xu Bao out for a walk. Bao also didn't recognize her, so she obediently let her hold her, and the two went out.
Ye Jiao looked at the Zheng family: "Madam, do you want to read together?"
"Jiao Niang doesn't need to be like this, just call me Wanying in the future." Zheng said with a smile on his face, and said warmly, "Ordinary people send their studies to private schools, and those with a little money will invite Mr. homeschooling."
Please sir.
Ye Jiao remembered that Fang had hired a husband to teach Shirou, but now Shishi is reading with his husband every day.
However, his own Xu Bao was young, so he was afraid that he would not be able to get together with Shi Shi.
Little ginseng had never thought about it, but when she suddenly mentioned it, she couldn't think of a way, and there was some confusion on her face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said, "It's okay, if you want to enlighten the child, my husband knows a lot of good gentlemen, not to mention the county town, the capital city is also available, and it will naturally be able to help one or two at that time."
Ye Jiao felt Zheng's sincerity. People with a clear heart tend to see people most clearly. Little Ginseng has always been intuitive when it comes to making friends.
If it was said that Zheng Shi was a little polite and perfunctory to her before, but after coming here this time, she was full of sincerity, Ye Jiao naturally accepted this feeling and said with a smile: "Thank you Wanying, come, eat red bean cake. ."
Zheng Shi smiled and squeezed a piece and put it in his mouth.
After eating one piece, Mr. Dong came back with Xu Bao.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Bao twisted his body and went down to the ground. The little guy ran to Ye Jiao's feet with his short legs, hugged Ye Jiao's calf, and asked for credit with a high face: "Mother, I have a gift. give you!"
Ye Jiao couldn't bend down to hug him because of her big belly, so she just reached out and touched the top of the little guy's hair and asked, "What is it?"
Xu Bao showed a big smile: "Xiao Hei, with fur, make a kite!"
As soon as these words came out, the corner of Xiao Su's mouth on the side trembled slightly.
She could understand it, her young master was really the son of the second young master, and the other side hadn't seen it yet. The revenge was exactly the same, but she had a very good memory, and she could remember everything in her head.
Because of that milk cake, Xiao Hei is afraid that he will be bald for a while.
Ye Jiao didn't see Xiao Su's expression, she just smiled and praised Xu Bao.
As for Xiao Hei, its hair grows fast, so it doesn't get in the way.
At this moment, Zheng's smiling eyes lifted slightly, and he saw a jade Ruyi placed on the windowsill.
Na Yu Ruyi looked at the whole body and was white, and she was not big, but just by looking at the appearance, she knew that it was a treasure.
Zheng shi glanced at him a little, and his expression didn't change, so he lowered his eyes and coaxed Xu Bao to play with them.
Even though the child is energetic, it is easy to get tired. Just after turning around so much, Xu Bao became sleepy little by little, and Ye Jiao's eyelids started to fight.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Zheng got up in time to leave, and the two went to the front hall together to find their husbands.
As a magistrate, Shi Tianrui, even if he came in casual clothes, had to be flattered. He was upright, but he was not good at socializing.
When he went back with Zheng Shi, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked like he was drunk, but his consciousness was still clear.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Shi Tianrui asked Zheng Shi softly, "Can you hear it?"
Zheng Shi shook his head and said in a calm voice: "I know Xianggong, you think the Qi family is related to the Tian family, but I can't ask this question out. Mother is kind, so I don't want to ask directly, to save her from worrying about these messy things."
In fact, before coming here, Shi Tianrui discussed the current situation with the Zheng family, and the more he talked, the more he felt that the Qi family was different.
Others only know that whoever feels bad with them will be unlucky, but Shi Tianrui feels that the Qi family is only more expensive, otherwise it will not collapse with two county chiefs and one county magistrate.
But he obviously couldn't inquire about it, so he wanted to let the Zheng family explore the air from the back house.
In a different person, Mrs. Zheng had long since told the truth. It was not difficult for her, but looking at Ye Jiao's pure eyes just now, even if she was as deep as Mrs. Zheng, she couldn't ask.
She was a good girl, and Zheng Shi was reluctant to set her up.
Shi Tianrui also heard what Zheng meant, but with a smile on his face, he reached out and patted the back of Zheng's hand: "I didn't expect the lady to be so fearless, and now she can meet someone who is soft-hearted."
Zheng's face flushed, and he pushed him, but said in his mouth, "You are the first person to be soft on me, or else I wouldn't have run to this place far from the Emperor Tiangao with you."
Shi Tianrui knew that Zheng Shi was telling the truth. She was the daughter of a lord. She was so delicate and noble that she was willing to follow her.
But Mr. Zheng lowered his voice and said softly, "It's just that I saw something."
"what?"
"I had a lot of good friends in the boudoir before, and Queen Meng made good friends with me at that time. She has a jade Ruyi ornament she likes very much. I saw it and put it in Jiao Niang's house."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Tianrui sat up straight and looked at Zheng Shi in surprise.
Zheng Shi looked at him calmly, and gently held Shi Tianrui's hand: "Master, I don't understand official affairs, but I only understand one thing, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you want to go higher Go, there are opportunities in addition to your skills, and now... you should have a plan."
Shi Tianrui took a light breath, then held Zheng Shi's hand, and whispered, "Don't worry, ma'am, I have my own calculations."
A few days later, a letter to Ye Pingrong from Zhezi and Qi Yun, who was involved in Shao Zhizhou's use of power for personal gain, entered the capital.
When summer went to autumn, when the ginkgo biloba turned yellow, Ye Jiao heard that the prefectural government had changed.
As for Shao Zhizhou, Ye Jiao only remembered that he was a lean person who had given his family a golden plaque, but Ye Jiao was not affected by his demotion.
The person left and right doesn't like his tassels, and the little ginseng is too lazy to care about him. He just thinks that it is really not easy to be an official. Today, it will be replaced by that tomorrow.
She couldn't help thinking about whether she should change the target for her own Xubao in the future, it seemed very dangerous to be an official.
After the end of the summer, the baby in Ye Jiao's belly was nearly eight months old. Fortunately, the weather had cooled down, and even Mrs. Liu said that the baby came at the right time, and it would not be difficult to sit in the cooler months.
It's just that Ye Jiao's belly is a little bigger, and even Xu Bao is cautious, she only dares to touch her mother's belly occasionally with her hands, and she will lie on it and mumble at another Xu Bao inside, Let him be good, don't keep arguing that Aniang can't sleep at night.
And when Qi Yun said that he let him sleep for a while, Xu Bao rarely made any noise, but nodded obediently and hooked Ye Jiao: "After Xu Bao came out, mother and Xu Bao would sleep together."
He always insisted that Ye Jiao was also carrying Xu Bao, and Ye Jiao didn't correct it, but just pulled the finger with him and coaxed the child away.
But when Xu Bao was away at night, Ye Jiao didn't sleep peacefully.
From time to time, I would hum twice, either back pain or leg pain.
It's just that it's not Ye Jiao who is tired, it's Qi Yun. Qi Erlang is now used to sitting up quickly when his wife makes a sound, rubbing her waist, pressing her legs and pinching the soles of her feet, often rubbing against Ye Jiao's stomach. In a low voice: "Don't quarrel with your mother, be good, and let you endorse every day after you make trouble."
Even if Qi Yun didn't know whether this threat would work or not, it was better to say it than not to say it.
That night, Ye Jiao frowned slightly and murmured twice, and before Qi Yun got up to help her press, she saw Ye Jiao opened her eyes.
When their eyes met, Qi Yun leaned over and put a light kiss on her forehead: "What's wrong?"
Little Ginseng rubbed his eyes, then hugged him in a daze, and muttered, "I'm dreaming."
"Nightmare?"
"It's not a nightmare, it's just weird." Ye Jiao buried her face in his arms and whispered, "I dreamed that you took Xu Bao to dig ginseng, and you dug two back and brought a bunch of fruit. "
Dreams are always strange, and it's nothing. Qi Yun gently touched her back and asked, "Isn't this good?"
Ye Jiao was a little aggrieved: "You have eaten all the fruits, but none of them have been left for me."
Qi Yun couldn't help laughing, hugged her tighter, kissed her face again and again, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll give you anything good, before, now, and in the future."
Ye Jiao was very coaxing, and when she heard this, she smiled and kissed him back, then closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Qi Yun woke up, Ye Jiao hadn't woken up yet, so he put on his clothes, washed and went out, ready to go to the study to find some books to read.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Tie Zi waiting at the door.
Before he could ask, Tie Zi quickly walked a few steps towards Qi Yun and cupped his hands: "Second Young Master, the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou invited the wealthy squires nearby, and also sent a message to our house."
