Before Tie Zi said this, Qi Yun had been thinking about what Mr. Shu had just said on stage.
A little bit of string will tell you that it is a royal affair.
Today's Tianjia is not indisputable, as long as the scale is grasped, it is no big deal, just like the pattern of clothes or flower tins spread in the palace, these can make the common people follow suit.
But it is rare to talk about the emperor in such a grand manner.
The meaning of which is self-evident.
But it had nothing to do with Qi Yun, he quickly looked at Tie Zi.
After listening to the words, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
When Tie Zi said that Qi Ming was holding up, his expression was very proud and his voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
After he finished speaking, everyone in the tea shop stood up to congratulate, and even the storyteller standing on the stage came down to congratulate them, which was even more enthusiastic than during the Chinese New Year.
This is not only because of the Qi family Saburo, but also because in this day and age, it is extremely difficult to obtain the qualifications for the juren.
Once you pass the township test, you can really step into an official career.
As a juror, even if you fail the exam in the future, you still have the opportunity to replace the academic officer or the magistrate.
It can be said that having a Juren status is equivalent to having an official body. No matter what the past or background is, as long as you pass the township examination and become a Juren, ordinary people will bow down and shout "Master Juren" when they meet.
How many students have fallen on this level, and they will never pass the test for a lifetime. In this city alone, there are many talented people, but there are very few people.
Every three years in the township examination, the entrance exam is a leap into the sky, and it will be another three years if you fail the exam. In front of the list, some are happy, some are dying, just looking at the list can tell the sadness of the scholars.
Qi Ming was able to win the middle class at a young age. This is a great good thing. Naturally, everyone who hears it will come to celebrate.
Especially after knowing that it was the third young master of the Qi family, more people came.
Qi Ming's reputation as Xiaosanyuan has already spread, and he has two capable older brothers, no matter whether it is related or not, he wants to come over and say a few good words, and he can also get some cheap.
Even if he couldn't speak, he wondered if he should go to Qi's house.
This family is a rare rich family, and they are generous. I am afraid that this time they will have a big banquet, even if they have had a good meal in the past.
Seeing that there were a lot of people here, Qi Yun and Shi Tianrui had to change to the second floor of the restaurant next to them, while Tie Zi sent someone home to announce the good news, and then stopped at the door with the restaurant's clerk and shopkeeper.
Shi Tianrui had a smile on his face: "Congratulations to your brother Zhongju, the future will definitely be the pillar of the country."
Qi Yun got up and returned the salute, with a calm voice: "Master Xie Zhixian, the third younger brother of the next generation, Master Xie, said it well."
Shi Tianrui is handsome, and when he speaks, there is a feeling of spring breeze: "Erlang does not need to be humble, from my point of view, my brother is very talented, and I have read the article, which is very good, and it is also possible to take the top spot in the future. "
Qi Yun bowed his hands to Shi Tianrui, but he didn't think that the third brother could have such a great future.
Qi Ming weighs a few pounds, and Qi Yun knows it better than anyone else.
When it comes to the theory of national policy, Qi Ming was led by Chu Chengyun for a long time, and he has a lot of ideas. It is not uncommon to be able to win the small three yuan.
It's just that his younger brother is immature after all, and he doesn't have enough knowledge. It's a good thing to be able to do it. As for Jie Yuan, it's still out of reach for the time being.
Speaking of the champion, Qi Yun looked at Shi Tianrui and said, "The magistrate was born in the champion, and his talent must be extraordinary."
Shi Tianrui curled the corners of his mouth and said softly, "When I was studying, I only felt that I had been suffering for ten years, and I was quite proud when I was titled on the golden list. I was Tian Shelang in the morning and ascended to the Tianzitang at night. A career requires more than just splendid articles."
His book business spirit was wiped out after he was demoted out of the capital, and even though his heart is still sharp, Shi Tianrui knows how to wrap himself in a slickness, which is considered to be a lot of growth.
Qi Yun picked up the tea cup and didn't answer.
After all, it's the ups and downs of other people's own eunuchs, and it has nothing to do with them.
Fortunately, Shi Tianrui was the one who saw it, and quickly said with a smile: "If the Qi family is hosting a banquet, remember to call me."
Qi Yun readily agreed: "This is natural."
Then, after waiting for tea, Qi Yun finally talked about the business; "Before, thanks to the righteousness of the magistrate, my Qi family was saved from disaster."
Shi Tianrui knew that what he was talking about was the last time he gave Chu Chengyun an account of ginseng to Shao Zhizhou.
Shao Zhizhou was an official, and he did a lot of evil. If Shi Tianrui had come two years earlier, he would definitely have joined him.
It's just that the reason why Shi Tianrui can make up his mind is that Shao Zhizhou offended the Qi family, and the Qi family has innumerable connections with the Tian family. appropriate.
And the fact is just as Shi Tianrui thought, Shao Zhizhou was reprimanded, and he was rewarded. The Qi family didn't seem to get anything, but it is already a great achievement to be able to demote a Zhizhou just by relying on a plaque.
But what caught Shi Tianrui's attention was not only Qi Yun's thanks, but also the way he knew about it.
It was naturally Ye Pingrong who was talking to Qi Yun, and Ye Dalang meant to get his brother-in-law to have a good relationship with Shi Zhixian, and he couldn't let people work hard but get no return.
But Shi Tianrui didn't know the inside story. He was cautious. Naturally, he felt that things were not easy. He even thought that Qi Yun had something to do with the person in the Golden Palace...
Naturally, Shi Tianrui did not dare to accept Qi Yun's courtesy, so he turned slightly sideways to give way, and then said, "Erlang's words are serious, for the sake of the country and the people, I can't let such evil know the state harm the people, and it is my duty to play him. responsibility."
These words were particularly worrying about the country and the people, so Qi Yun nodded and said, "Shi, the magistrate of the county, I am ashamed of myself."
"Where."
"you are welcome."
After some courtesies, Qi Yun sat down again and discussed with Shi Tianrui about the Qi family after he left.
He and Ye Jiao went to Beijing, at least half a year, but it was hard to say.
At that time, the third younger brother, Qi Ming, can be brought there, either to study or to take scientific examinations. The capital is always better than this place, but the elder brother Qi Zhao can’t move easily. People can’t walk without people. Zhuangzi can’t live without people. My father is old, and there is still someone to take care of at home.
Taking a step back, Qi Zhao's Zhuangzi is his property, so Dalang would not just give up his years of hard work and leave.
In this case, Qi Zhao, whether as a son or a younger brother, must arrange the family well.
Shi Tianrui was the magistrate, and Qi Yun could see Shi Tianrui's ability. He had a bright future, so he wondered if he could entrust a lot of family matters.
Since it was Qi Yun who spoke, Shi Tianrui naturally had nothing to do.
Even if you don't look at the golden plaque on that side, you must look after Ye Jiao's saving her daughter's face.
It's not that the Qi family can be allowed to behave indiscriminately, but that the Qi family can be fair in their affairs.
But these words don't need to be said. The two of them know it well, just a glance, and a glass of sake can make a decision. When they leave, the wind is light, and no one can pick the wrong place.
And when he returned, Tie Zi still hadn't restrained his excitement.
As far as he is concerned, he has been working in Qi's family since he was a child. Before, he was busy with his own work, and then he followed Qi Yun's side. He learned to be a man and learn to do things, and it also made Tie Zi from the stupid second boy before to now. A handsome young man with a living name.
He regards the Qi family as his owner, and even more as his own.
When the Qi family is well, he can be well.
Now, Qi Ming has stepped into the official career, and Tie Zi is naturally happy. On the way back, he sat on the carriage and smiled at Qi Yun and said: "Second Young Master, Third Young Master is considered successful this time, just go back and get the champion and come back. It's gone!"
Qi Yun didn't care about Shi Tianrui just now to Tie Zi, and spoke very straightforwardly: "If he wants to be the champion, he must start to get rubbed now, or someone can really Tell him what the real court and country are, and don't let this champion won't be his turn."
Tie Zi blinked: "Second Young Master, do you want to tutor Third Young Master?"
Qi Yun closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be resting, but his voice was indifferent: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to help him, but what I can't do, naturally some people are willing to do it, don't be in a hurry."
His third brother is a well-reader. If Xu Bao is only enjoying reading books now, then Qi Ming is interested in the country and the world.
I usually look at Qi Ming's foolishness, which seems to be easy to fool, but as long as it is about the country's society or the suffering of the people, Qi Ming has countless things to say.
Probably because he was naughty and dishonest when he was a child, Qi Yun liked to use some big things to hold him down. Let him read "The Pain of Prospering the People, the Pain of Losing the People" today, and show him "The Worries Before the World" tomorrow. And worry, the world will be happy and happy”.
In the end, Qi Yun never cared how much he saw, but a flame called "the responsibility of the family, the country, the world, and our generation" burned in the young Qi Ming's heart.
Qi Yun may despise his writing, and he doesn't think it is too rare for his words and sentences in his essays, but his younger brother has a stomach full of ideas and ambitions, which makes sense.
His articles are not splendid, but they have something to say, which is really not easy for scholars who like to talk about military affairs on paper.
Because of this, Qi Ming and Chu Chengyun always have something to say, and only the two of them dare to say it.
Ordinary ordinary people, who dares to arbitrarily speak out about the policies of the imperial court
However, Qi Ming is a daring one, and he met Chu Chengyun, the phoenix grandson.
Now, Qi Yun dragged him to the capital just to give his third brother a chance.
The closer you are, the greater the chance.
As for whether that person really likes him to the point of special advice, then it depends on the third brother's own good fortune.
But when I was about to leave the city, I passed by a bookstore.
Qi Yun saw it when he lifted the curtain slightly, so he stopped Tie Zi, he walked in calmly, and only came out after about a cup of tea.
Tie Zi didn't see what he took, and Qi Yun didn't let him follow, but he looked at the bulging arms of his second young master and didn't know what he was pretending.
After thinking about it, Tie Zi felt that most of the books he bought were good books. For a serious person like his own young master, he should also buy serious things.
When Qi Yun got in the car, Tie Zi didn't ask, only heard Qi Yun start talking about business.
Tie Zi was regarded as half of his apprentice. Hearing this, he immediately sat upright and listened obediently. He even took out the pen and paper he carried with him and used it to record important matters with great care.
Just as he was talking, the carriage had returned to Qi's house.
At this moment, the Qi's house is decorated with lanterns and firecrackers, and the alleys in front of the Qi's house are almost filled with guests coming and going.
Tie Zi is a shrewd person, knowing that his second young master is not willing to appear in front of people to deal with these matters, he took a detour and went to the door on the west side.
The first thing Qi Yun did after he got off the carriage was to ask the girl who was leading the horse, "Has Jiao Niang come to the front hall?"
The little girl guessed that Qi Yun had this question, so she kept paying attention, and when she heard the words, she replied, "No, Madam specially ordered to come down, saying that the second young grandmother is now weak, and people outside are afraid of collision, so let the two Young grandma doesn't have to come here, it's all good to have a baby." After a slight pause, she said again, "Second Young Master, do you want to go to the room to have some refreshments? Everything is ready."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun looked at her more.
Most of the servants of the Qi family are the children of tenants, or they are bought with raw faces, and they can be arranged to lead the horse at the door.
However, this is a man with a clear mind and articulation. Qi Yun took a second glance and asked, "Whose family do you belong to?"
The girl's face turned slightly red, she lowered her head slightly, stretched out her hand and brushed the broken hair around her ear, her voice was like the chirping of mosquitoes, not as crisp and neat as just now, but rather a little embarrassed: "Back to the second young master's words, I was a few days ago. come home."
Qi Yun nodded and asked lightly, "Have you passed your life contract?"
As soon as these words came out, both Tie Zi and that girl's expressions changed.
Naturally, the girl's eyes lit up, and she felt that she heard the sounds of nature, but Tie Zi felt a sigh in her heart.
He knew that Qi Yun and Ye Jiao's husband and wife were deeply in love, and everything was good. Let Tie Zi see, even if a fairy from the sky came to Qi Yun, he would not be moved.
But what Qi Yun said now made Tie Zi tremble.
Could it be that she really fell in love with this little girl and was about to accept the deed and take the house
It shouldn't be, how could it be like this, Tie Zi squinted his eyes and felt that this girl's face was immature.
But the girl didn't care about this, and nodded immediately: "Yes, it's past the contract."
Qi Yun nodded again and said to Tie Zi: "You go and tell Madam Liu how much you bought it for and how much it cost to send it back, don't say anything ugly, just say that she has a big heart, our Qifu temple is small, I can't stand her."
After speaking, regardless of their expressions, they closed their cloaks and walked towards their yard.
The girl was overjoyed and sad, but she didn't react for a while.
On the contrary, it was Tie Zi, with a smile on his face, thinking that the second young master is the second young master, or the outspoken temper, and sure enough, only the second young grandmother of his own is in his heart, but his face is stern and his voice is hard: "Come on, hold on. Send it to Madam Liu, and find Madam Ya to send it back.”
The girl came back to her taste, the shy look she had just had faded away, and she fell on the ground in a panic and grabbed the hem of Tiezi's clothes: "Master Su, Master Su, please, don't sell me, I... I didn't do anything wrong!"
Tie Zi, who was called Uncle Su for the first time, was a little uncomfortable, but he still dragged her clothes away, and then said, "Second Young Master is right, your heart is too big, and our Qi residence will not dare to ask you."
The girl wanted to cry, but was gagged by the woman beside her.
Tie Zi said slowly: "This horse-drawing errand, I think you have come up with calculations, and you are staring at the whereabouts of the second young grandmother, and you can see everything clearly, don't think that the second young master can't see your thoughts. Let me tell you, the last time I wanted to do this was because I was beaten and kicked out, and now the second young master only said that he would return you instead of buying it casually.
After that, she was left alone, and she was only sent to Mrs. Liu, and then trotted to chase after Qi Yun.
Qi Yun didn't take it seriously, all he remembered was Ye Jiao.
And that girl was sent directly to Liu's place.
Liu Shi originally greeted the female relatives who came to congratulate in the back hall, but after hearing the servants say that Qi Erlang sent someone over, he immediately got up and went back to the yard after finding a reason.
On the way, Liu Shi couldn't help frowning as soon as the old woman finished talking about the whole process.
Madam Liu was a little surprised, looked at Mrs Liu and said, "Madam, why is the second young master so decisive this time?"
In fact, there are usually some big-hearted people who want to climb up the branches, and they have to find the three young masters.
But as long as it doesn't go too far into the yard in the middle of the night like Fangcao last time, it's just a matter of hitting two boards, or sending it back to Zhuangzi, and it doesn't say that it will be sold directly.
Qi Yun used to be too lazy to pay attention to these things, but this time he was extraordinarily determined.
Liu Shi knew Qi Yun's thoughts very well, and said while walking, "He's killing chickens for monkeys to see, and this girl is only a little capable and capable."
When Mrs. Liu heard the words, she couldn't help nodding her head.
The second young grandmother had just given birth, but someone was thinking about it. If the second young grandma knew about it, it would be a problem.
Moreover, a daughter-in-law who is capable and capable is a good thing, but a servant who is too capable and big-hearted is a disaster.
Maybe other people like this kind of woman and are willing to accept the house, but the Qi family is not such a family.
Liu Shi was quite open: "Since she has such enterprising spirit, we can't just get in the way of her, we might as well let her go to another place to seek her future."
Madam Liu nodded and responded.
Ye Jiao, on the other hand, stayed in the yard, laughing and coaxing the dolls in her arms, kissing Xu Bao and hugging Ning Bao Ruyi, the smile on her face became more and more real.
Ruyi is someone who likes to let Ye Jiao kiss her, and when Ye Jiao finishes her kiss, she still has to pout her mouth and wait for the next kiss, and then she will give up.
Ning Bao likes to hide, her small eyebrows are wrinkled, and she also lets Ye Jiao kiss her, but she puts her face into Ye Jiao's arms after a kiss, and doesn't look at anyone.
Xu Bao, who had grown up a lot, directly stretched out his arms to hug his younger brother's head and sucked a few mouthfuls. Ye Jiao also leaned in and slapped twice. Ye Jiao was a little dazed when Ning Bao was crying. Xu Bao still laughed, especially proud.
When Qi Yun entered the door, what he saw was such a warm and happy scene.
Mrs. Mo was coaxing Ning Bao, while Xu Bao and Ruyi were laughing together, each taking Ye Jiao's arm and holding her tightly.
Qi Yun had always been in pain for the three children, but now that he saw Ning Bao crying, Qi Yun reached out and took him.
This child is usually the most honest, he doesn't like to cry and doesn't like to make trouble, but it seems earth-shattering to cry like this every once in a while.
He couldn't help frowning slightly and looked at the two little ones on the bed: "Who messed with him?"
When Xu Bao heard this, he immediately dodged behind Ye Jiao.
In the past, Xu Bao was never afraid of Qi Yun. He was harassing him to study, pestering him and acting like a spoiled child. Xu Bao was never afraid of it.
But I don't know if the child has the clearest mind. Even if he is young, he knows that Qi Yun is the least accustomed to him in the family.
If something goes wrong, Xu Bao will seek Ye Jiao's help.
But this time Ye Jiao didn't think he was wrong, instead she whispered obediently: "It seems that I accidentally kissed him just now..."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun's eyebrows were undone, and his eyes were fixed on Ning Bao, who was still chattering.
Then, he looked left and right, Ye Jiao handed over a ball of wool that Ning Bao liked at the right time, Qi Yun took it, and shook it twice in his hand, Ning Bao quickly stopped crying and went straight. Look, very focused.
Qi Yun took the opportunity and said to him: "In the future, your mother wants to kiss you, but you can't cry. This is filial piety, do you understand?"
Xu Bao: …
The little doll was a little dazed for a while, but what about the daddy who agreed to be serious and disciplined? Why can't my mother be scolded
Obviously, no one can answer this question. After a while, Ruyi and Ning Bao were sleepy, and Xu Bao also rubbed his eyes and yawned, so he asked Xiao Su and Mrs. Mo to take them to rest.
Qi Yun sat sideways beside Ye Jiao, his brows and eyes were only gentle towards Ye Jiao: "Are you bored staying at home?"
Ye Jiao nodded, shook her head again, and said with a smile, "It was a little boring at first, but when the three children were with me, it became more interesting. I forgot that you went out."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun's hand on the woman's back paused slightly.
Even if he knew in his heart that parents love their children the most, and even if Qi Yun himself loved them very much, when he heard this suddenly, his heart froze.
Can't tell if it's emotion or pantothenic acid.
Fortunately, Qi Yun is not a person who likes to complain but likes to solve it. I think it is because the confinement has been sitting for too long, and his wife has forgotten their previous "good times".
Fortunately, Qi Yun was already prepared.
He took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ye Jiao, but said nothing.
Seeing that he was mysterious, Ye Jiao took it out curiously and opened it, and saw several books inside.
When she opened it, Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
It's all pictures, in color, and easy to understand.
These were bought by Qi Yun on the way back, and they were carefully selected. Each picture was drawn very finely, and whether it was printed or not, it was a bit fascinating to look at.
Some of them are to be given to my uncle, and some are to be kept by myself.
Qi Yun, who bought erotic pictures for his wife, did not have the slightest bit of shyness on his face. He was serious, but he really seemed to be studying advanced issues with his wife, and said seriously: "Ma'am, it's still early, and the children are sleeping, why don't we Would you like to try it?"
Little Ginseng smiled and nodded, grabbing Qi Yun's collar and pulling it down: "Okay."
It was still daylight outside, but it was never a reason to block these two people.
But just when Qi Yun was about to fall down, he heard the iron clasp the window lattice outside, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, there is a commotion in the front hall, the Master is calling you to come."
