When the little guy ran in, Xiao Su followed closely.
Now Xu Bao, who can run and jump, is much more lively than before, and he runs very fast. Xiao Su feels sweaty just by protecting her.
And when Xu Bao slammed the door hard, Xiao Su wanted to stop it before it was too late.
Seeing that he had pushed the door in, Xiao Su could only squat down, hug Xu Bao's chubby body to prevent him from entering the inner room, and whispered to him: "Little ancestor, the second young master and the second young grandmother are doing important things. Let's wait for them outside, okay?"
Xu Bao looked at Xiao Su with a chubby little face, with a clear voice: "Three uncles are important!"
This was not made up by Xu Bao, but was told to the little guy by Qi Yun himself.
Now Xu Bao still doesn't understand what the imperial examination is. Qi Yun's explanation is that "if you want to be a prime minister, you must work hard on this matter." Books, this is very important, so the imperial examination is very important.
Qi Ming treats him well, and is always willing to coax him, read and tell stories to him. Now that Qi Ming is going to the imperial examinations, Xu Bao naturally acquiesces that the third uncle is doing a great thing.
All other things can be put aside, the most important thing now is to find Uncle Third!
Xu Bao also specially pulled the small clothes on his body: "Xu Bao specially wears it, go to the third uncle."
Xiao Su looked at Xu Bao's red clothes and didn't know what to say for a while, but the door to the inner room opened.
Qi Yun was painting Ye Jiao's eyebrows, and when he heard the movement outside, he came over to open the door and saw his fat son who was staring at him at a glance.
Qi Erlang held Luo Zidai in his hand, so he couldn't hold him, so he could only ask, "Why did Xu Bao come here by himself so early?" Then he looked at Xiao Su, "Did he eat?"
Before Xiao Su could speak, Xu Bao immediately replied, "Xu Bao accompanies her mother to eat." Then he stuck his head out to look inside.
Qi Yun signaled that Xiaosu could release Xu Bao, and then he took Luo Zidai and walked back to the makeup mirror, holding Ye Jiao's face again and helping her thrush her eyebrows, "Wait."
Xu Bao ran over and hugged Qi Yun's calf: "When will Daddy leave?"
Qi Yun did not respond to him immediately, but carefully painted the dark eyebrows of the distant mountains, which he was best at.
Although today is to pick up Qi Ming, this is Ye Jiao's first serious trip since she entered Beijing.
After coming to the capital, Qi Yun discovered that the biggest difference between this place and his hometown is not the financial resources and official prestige, but the eyes of the people here are always not idle.
Anyone who can live in the capital has a bit of their own ability, whether it is a businessman or an official family, there is no ordinary person after all.
So they get used to looking at others, secretly watching if they don't know, and then pondering and speculating in their hearts, they can come up with a big play by themselves.
Now that the first time her darling girl appears in front of people, there will inevitably be other people's eyes watching her in the dark. Qi Yun doesn't feel that Ye Jiao needs to make changes deliberately, but he himself needs to do his own thing well in order to protect it. own wife.
This thrush is also one of them.
When the painting was finished, Qi Yun put down Luo Zidai, wiped his hands with the cloth handkerchief, then lowered his head and hugged Xu Bao and said to him, "Leave after breakfast."
Xu Bao hugged Qi Yun's neck coquettishly, rubbed his cheek against it, and begged softly: "Take Xu Bao, Xu Bao, be good, take Xu Bao."
Qi Yun turned him upside down and didn't answer.
Ye Jiao was looking at the mirror to apply decals, but when she saw that there was no movement, she turned around to look, and then saw that her husband was expressionless, but his eyes were smiling. It was clear that he could see Xu Bao's thoughts, but he was enjoying his son's request. he.
The little ginseng didn't pierce, and the father and son were sticking together, so they got up and let Xiaosu set the table, and then the two took a baby to eat breakfast, Ye Jiao went to feed the dragon and phoenix again, and Qi Yun sat on the soft couch. Playing with Longfengti and Xubao next to her, Ye Jiao went behind the screen to change her clothes.
Women tend to go out slower, Ye Jiao is the same, it's not that she is dawdling, it's that the woman's clothes are layered on top of each other. It depends on the color scheme, the headwear, and the appropriate makeup look, but everything is wrong. are not possible.
Ye Jiao had to get along with other things, but she was as persistent as every ordinary woman in dressing herself up beautifully.
Qi Yun had Ning Bao in his left hand and Ruyi in his right hand, swaying, hoping to coax them to sleep, so that he and Ye Jiao could go out later.
Ning Bao has always been obedient. Lying in Qi Yun's arms, holding a ball of wool, he can fall asleep without Qi Yun shaking.
But Ruyi didn't take this set, she twisted and twisted uncomfortably, muttering incomprehensible voices in her mouth, which made Qi Yun a little puzzled, and then she heard Xu Bao say: "Dad, take this Let go, sister."
Qi Yun was puzzled: "Why?"
Xu Bao replied solemnly on that little face: "Sister is panicking."
Qi Yun: …
Qi Erlang admitted that he was indeed a little thinner. Even though he was much stronger now than before, he didn't grow much flesh.
But being said so bluntly still made Qi Yun a little helpless.
After putting down Ning Bao, who was already asleep, and Ruyi, who was still making a fuss, Qi Yun looked at Xu Bao and asked, "How did you know?"
Xu Bao approached Ruyi and hugged her, and said to Qi Yun, "Because when daddy hugged me, Xu Bao also panicked." That expression, honest and considerate, seemed to tell Qi Yun again, he didn't say anything. It was because of the affection between father and son that he was especially considered for him.
Qi Yun: …
And if you think that Ning Bao fell asleep, he didn't make trouble with him, he turned his head and hugged Xu Bao, laughingly holding Xu Bao's fingers and swaying back and forth.
Xu Bao also played with her in a good manner, sitting upright, with two little fat hands hugging Ruyi tightly to prevent her from falling.
This made Qi Yun look relieved, even though his fat son usually seemed to be able to act like a spoiled child, but as long as he was in front of his younger brothers and sisters, he looked like a big brother.
However, Ruyi was still young, and soon became sleepy, so she lay on Xu Bao and fell asleep.
Mrs. Mo stepped forward and took the two little dolls away, and took them to the side room next to them to sleep.
Qi Yun took advantage of this time to pick up Xu Bao, put him on his lap and asked him to do it to him, Qi Erlang looked at him and said, "This time I will take you there, there are many people outside, you need more Be careful, don't run around, or you will be targeted by bad guys."
Xu Bao bit his finger and tilted his head, not quite understanding: "Bad guy?"
Qi Yun didn't know how to explain it. It was too real to be afraid of scaring him. If such an old child starts to be afraid of people, it will be difficult to teach him in the future, but he has to say it. Running is impossible.
So Qi Yun can only describe it vaguely: "If someone sees you and asks what your name is, what your parents do, and if they say it's your parents' friends who want to take you away, that's a bad person."
Although Xu Bao is small, he has a good memory. He repeated it immediately and asked, "What about Xu Bao? Xu Bao can't bear to let his mother and father go."
Hearing this, Qi Yun touched his son's head with relief, feeling that Xu Bao's head was indeed a circle bigger than other children's, and said in his mouth: "If you really meet you, call, someone kidnapped. Child, catch the bad guys, and someone will save you."
Xu Bao nodded, carefully remembering it in his heart.
At this moment, Ye Jiao came out from behind the screen.
She chose a lake blue tunic, which was tight and narrow, with a loose hem and a piece of purple jade on the belt. At this time, Ye Jiao hadn't combed the bun, and her long hair was loosely tied with a belt. Tail, the broken hair hanging down from the ear when walking, the beauty made Qi Yun hold his breath unconsciously.
The clothes were made by the silk and satin shop on Ye Jiao Bridge before, and they were all made of high-quality materials.
In the past, Qi Erlang didn't think that the clothes were good or bad. After all, he liked this person. Even if he changed to a fairy, he would not give him a second look. As for the clothes, it was just right, and the others didn't feel anything.
But at this moment, Qi Yun suddenly understood why women have so many pursuits for good-looking clothes and jewelry, and why a good dress is more expensive than gold in this silk and satin village in the capital.
What is there on the head, Cuiwei scorpion leaves down the temples lips. What can you see behind the back, the bead presses the waist and holds the body firmly.
But in such a moment of daze, Qi Yun did not speak, but Xu Bao shouted out one step ahead: "Mother is beautiful!" Then he raised his hand for Ye Jiao to hug.
The little ginseng laughed immediately, walked over, hugged Xu Bao, and kissed it several times in his arms.
Qi Yun stared at this little sycophant and snorted lightly, but he didn't show it on his face, but said indifferently, "I'll let Tie Zi cover the car, and I'll leave in a while."
However, when he was going out, Qi Yun still leaned into Ye Jiao's ear and said softly, "Next time, I'll make a few more pieces, and I'll accompany you."
Ye Jiao responded with a smile, her brows twitching.
When the Qi family's carriage went to the Gongyuan, there were already several other carriages waiting there.
Qi Yun didn't let the carriage move too far forward, but found a shady place to park it, then took Ye Jiao out of the carriage and walked around, relaxing, and when there were too many people, he returned to the carriage with Ye Jiao. , neither greeting anyone nor being too ostentatious.
It's just that there are still many people's eyes looking over there, Shi Shi on the Wen family's carriage is one of them.
Shi slammed down the curtain after Qi Yun and his wife returned to the carriage, and did not speak, but the old woman on the side whispered: "Madam, should we go over and say hello to the Qi family?"
Mrs. Shi understood what the old lady meant. Now that the Wen family and the Qi family live next to each other, they can't look up and look down to see each other. In addition, Shi Tianrui, Shi's own brother, is on good terms with the Qi family, so she should have said hello in the past.
But Shi Shi did not move.
She is different from Shi Tianrui. Shi Tianrui is dedicated to serving the country. He is talented and intelligent but has a high personality.
But Shi Shi is a person who can endure it, and he is the most cautious and cautious in doing things.
Even if he knew that the Qi family and himself had become neighbors, the Shi family never disclosed the slightest bit to Shi Tianrui in the letter, and now they will not take the initiative to provoke the Qi family, but whispered to the old woman: "No hurry, after a while. The wife of the Qi family is definitely going to post a post, and it won't be too late to talk about it. Otherwise, I'm in a hurry now, and in my current situation, if people think I'm taking advantage of the situation, it's not easy to get along with. "
Hearing this, the old woman's face became a little indignant: "But every time a post comes, it is robbed by that little bitch in the Western courtyard, and it never reaches us."
Shi didn't speak, just covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
The Wen family has one wife and three concubines. Now that Shi's family is down, even the wife of the main house is not taken seriously. With nothing to do, everything is controlled by the concubine Sun who gave birth to a son. Now Shi basically ignores family affairs. , In addition to the occasions where the wife of the main house is required to come forward, she doesn't care about anything when she is next to her.
But she has her own calculations in her heart: "Don't worry, although Lang Jun is not clear about men and women, he will not be confused in these matters. Shameless, no matter how favored Mrs. Sun is, she can't come across these things. Otherwise, his son will try, why should I wait outside. "
The old woman thought about it and thought it was the truth, so she stopped talking.
But he didn't see the coldness in Shi Shi's eyes.
The relationship between her and the head of the Wen family has long since disappeared, and they haven't said much. They say they are husband and wife, but they are not as good as strangers.
Shi Shi looked at it just now, even though Qi Yun and Ye Jiao only walked down and walked around a little, it was less than a stick of incense, but they clearly loved each other.
It's really a couple that others can't envy.
No wonder my sister-in-law, Zheng Shi, who has opened up her mind, would get close to Ye Jiao, and she would praise several times every time she wrote a letter. Now Shi Shi felt warm in her heart even if she just glanced at it.
Thinking that there were quite a few people staring at them just now, I am afraid that there are many people who are jealous, Shi Shi is calm, probably because she has no hope at all in her family, she is not having a bad life and wants everyone in the world to be happy. The bad mad woman, now looking at Ye Jiao, Shi Shi has a lot of kindness.
Squeezing the silk handkerchief in her hand, Shi Shi closed her eyes and said no more.
Ye Jiao didn't know that just taking two steps would be enough to attract people's admiration. She was sitting on the carriage, leaning against Qi Yun, holding a piece of osmanthus cake in her hand and sending it to her mouth.
Qi Yun put a piece of silk handkerchief on her leg, and the slag of the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake stained her dress, and the other hand wrapped around Ye Jiao's slender waist, looking at Ye Jiao with a smile.
Before it was changed, Qi Yun would never have thought that he would be able to watch people eat and be fascinated, but now, he can't see enough of what his wife does. It is good to carry it in your arms anytime.
Ye Jiao misunderstood what Qi Yun meant. Seeing him staring at her, she handed over the half-eaten sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "Master, do you want to eat?"
Qi Yun is someone who doesn't like sweets, but since Ye Jiao opened his mouth, he didn't refuse, and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with Ye Jiao's hand.
Xu Bao looked hot, but didn't open his mouth to fight.
The little baby knows when to be coquettish with his parents and when he should be quiet. In the end, he is a child who grew up watching his parents and beauty. He is very discerning in this regard.
It just gets boring after staying in the carriage for a long time. It would be fine if the carriage was moving, but it was parked like this, motionless, and sitting on it for several hours would inevitably make it difficult for children.
So he tugged at Ye Jiao's sleeve and asked, "Mother, Xu Bao wants to go down and play."
Ye Jiao was about to speak when she heard someone knocking on the car and said, "Second Young Master, steward Qin has sent someone a message."
Hearing this, Qi Yun said to Ye Jiao, "You sit in the car first, and I'll take Xu Bao down for a walk."
Ye Jiao nodded and helped Qi Yun straighten the folds of her neckline, then watched him get out of the car with Xu Bao in her arms.
Qi Yun put Xu Bao on the ground and told him, "Just walk around here, you can't run far, do you remember what I said to you before?"
Xu Bao straightened his back when he heard this: "Remember."
Only then did Qi Yun nodded, indicating that the old women on the side were all following him, and gave Xu Bao a nine-link, seeing Xu Bao obediently sitting on the small bench to solve the nine-link, and then called Tie Zi over to speak.
Tie Zi looked around and saw that no one was around, so he said to Qi Yun: "Second Young Master, Steward Qin said that the old man who burned the porcelain has been found, and they settled in an inn outside the city. Those who want to go back to their hometown, their opponents have also found out," Tie Zi lowered his voice, "It's the Wen family."
Qi Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was calm: "Which Wen family?"
"It's our neighbor." Tie Zi looked into the distance, where was the Wen family's carriage.
Hearing this, Qi Yun frowned slightly.
Before, Qi Yun didn't want to have anything to do with the Wen family. In his opinion, most of the restless people in the back house were a mess in front of him, so that Qi Yun didn't even look into his family's affairs, thinking about peace and harmony. That's all, there is no intersection between left and right business, and there is no need for deep friendship.
But now it seems that the Wen family is more chaotic than he thought.
However, Qi Yun thought about it for a while, and then said, "You go and tell Steward Qin now, and find a way to keep them temporarily. We will have food and lodging, and wait for them to talk about other things."
Tie Zi responded, and then ran away to spread the word.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, looked at Xu Bao again.
Little Fatty said that he wanted to come down for a walk, but in fact he didn't like to be bored in the car park. As long as he came out of the car, he didn't run around everywhere, just sat obediently and solved Jiu Lianhuan. very focused.
Qi Yun didn't help or stepped forward, but stood not far away, looking around.
The place he chose to park the carriage was very good. He could see the surroundings, but it was a leeward place. It was not easy for others to hear what he said here. In addition, the background of the Qi family was unknown now, and ordinary people did not move forward. It was also empty.
It was less than an hour before the opening of the Gongyuan, and there were already quite a few people who came, and some were standing and waiting at the bottom, but they rarely greeted each other.
After all, all my thoughts are in the Gongyuan, and if there is time to greet each other, it is better to pray to the heavens and bless my sons with all the best.
But looking at it, Qi Yun realized that there were two people who looked very familiar.
They were originally standing far away, but after looking at them, they stepped forward and walked towards this side.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Qi Yun quickly recognized their identities.
Chu Chengyun, and Ye Pingrong.
The two of them looked very low-key, and those who were not familiar with them would definitely not recognize them. Chu Chengyun even brought a Confucian towel and a paper fan, which was completely different from the previous appearance.
Even though there were a lot of people around, when they bowed their heads slightly, no one would think that the king of a country would wander outside the Gongyuan at such a time.
Qi Yun didn't stand still, but walked over to meet him.
This allowed Chu Chengyun and Ye Pingrong to walk in front of Qi Yun smoothly. When Qi Yun saw Chu Chengyun again, he immediately showed a surprised look, and then he was about to salute: "Caomin..."
"Okay, I will pretend to leave the palace, and you don't have to be so polite." Chu Chengyun was obviously very happy to see the surprise on Qi Yun's face, he raised his hand to stop Qi Yun's movements, but his eyes turned towards Qi Yun. Look at the gate of Gongyuan.
Qi Yun naturally knew that Chu Chengyun was here to see Qi Ming, and he felt that his third brother was a fool, but he lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Your Majesty has a heart for scholars in the world, it is really admirable. ."
These words really caught Chu Chengyun's itch.
He obviously felt that the secret meeting between himself and Qi Ming was hidden from everyone, and Qi Yun certainly didn't know that he was selfish when he came to see it now. As a result, when Qi Yun said this, he was very open and aboveboard. Chu Chengyun immediately laughed. : "Yeah, these are the pillars of the future court, so naturally we should pay more attention."
Ye Pingrong listened, a little confused.
Is my brother-in-law flattering
But it doesn't sound like it. People from a family like my brother-in-law will definitely not do such things. I think he said it sincerely, alas, my brother-in-law is still too upright. Ye Pingrong was very sad in his heart.
Then the three of them spoke, saying it was a response, rather a small talk. Qi Yun explained everything about the caravan clearly. Chu Chengyun also paid special attention to his first payment, and listened carefully.
Although Ye Pingrong couldn't speak, he listened carefully.
He didn't care how much money Chu Chengyun made. Compared with the emperor's master, he was more concerned about how much his brother-in-law could get in return, so that his sister's life would be better and Ye Pingrong could feel at ease.
However, Chu Chengyun's attention was not on Qi Yun, and he was attracted by a small meat dumpling after a while.
Walking over subconsciously, Chu Chengyun stood still in front of Xu Bao, staring at him with his head down.
For Chu Chengyun, he has never forced the fate of his children. Unlike ordinary nobles, Chu Chengyun is not a person who thinks about giving birth to countless children every day to consolidate his imperial power. Taking the initiative to mention it, for fear that Meng Shi will be sad.
But in his heart, like Meng Shi, he likes children.
Xu Bao was lovable, sitting there soft and wanting to be close to anyone who looked at him.
But after such a stop, the sunlight in front of Xu Bao was blocked.
Xu Bao moved for a while, frowned slightly, and the moment when his eyebrows were furrowed, his expression was very similar to Qi Yun, but when he raised his head to look at it, his eyes were clear again, and the little fleshy face looked harmless to humans and animals.
When they were talking just now, Xu Bao was playing with Jiu Lianhuan, neither hearing nor seeing.
Suddenly seeing a stranger standing in front of him, Xu Bao first moved back to make sure the old lady was still by his side, and then he said softly: "Who are you?"
In a word, Chu Chengyun softened his heart.
Most of the milk dolls that I usually see are brought to him after being taught by family members. They are well behaved, and even their legs and feet tremble when talking to him, making Chu Chengyun feel like a vicious yaksha, so he I don't like to see children anymore.
Now suddenly seeing someone who is not afraid of himself, Chu Chengyun became interested and said with a smile, "I am your father's friend, who are you?"
Xu Bao flickered his eyes, but did not speak.
Chu Chengyun didn't care. Looking at Xu Bao's age, he knew that this should be the first son of Qi Yun and Ye Jiao, and this child's name was Qi Ce. When Ye Jiao was pregnant with him, Chu Cheng Yun also said that in the future, he will help him with writing.
At that time, Chu Chengyun felt that he was going to lose the strong man forever. After all, he had no one to support him at that time, and the brothers next to him seemed to be more capable than him.
Wanting to give Xu Bao a word is also to give myself a hope, or to have more expectations for the future.
Today, he is the honorable man of ninety-five, but he still has a pure and kind-hearted mind, and he has not forgotten everything in the past.
Seeing Xu Bao now is naturally more intimate than seeing the children next to him.
So Chu Chengyun said with a smile: "It's okay, I know your name is Xu Bao. I saw your father just now, so I'll take you to find him, okay?" Then, Chu Chengyun bent over and carried Xu Bao inside. arms.
Before Xu Bao could resist, he was hugged by him.
Qi Yun, who was talking to Ye Pingrong in the distance, saw it, but he didn't care. Instead, he was happy for his son to be closer to Chu Chengyun.
The old woman on the side saw that he knew his masters, and Xiao Su signaled them to be quiet, so these old women didn't say much.
However, Xu Bao suddenly reached out and pushed Chu Chengyun's shoulder.
This time, Chu Chengyun was pushed inexplicably, but he was sturdy, protected Xu Bao steadily, and helped the little guy on his back to fall down.
But Chu Chengyun didn't know that Xu Bao was panicking now.
Although he is small, his memory has always been good. In addition, Qi Yun and Chen Qing were amazing before, which made Xu Bao even more impressive.
The little guy's head firmly remembered what Qi Yun said to him before—
The bad guy, that is, the one who knew Xu Bao's parents, who asked his own name, and who had to take himself away!
This man is about to take himself away now!
bad guy!
So, when the Gongyuan over there opened the door, Xiao Pangdun tried his best, holding his arms to keep Chu Chengyun away from him, while pulling his neck and shouting, "Father, mother, help! baby!"
