Chapter 171

When he saw Chu Chengyun, Qi Yun felt his left eyelid jump.

Ordinary people say that the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster. Although there is no basis, it is difficult to say whether there is some mysterious truth.

But for Qi Yun at this moment, his left eyelid twitched just because he was frightened.

Chu Chengyun would go out of the palace to Qi Ming's courtyard, which is understandable. Anyway, Chu Chengyun valued Qi Ming, and the emperor was easy-going. He used to like to call Qi Ming out to write poems and write poems. Now he will come over. It is normal to congratulate Qi Saburo on his promotion.

Even though this official was promoted by him, Qi Yun understood that Chu Chengyun had divided himself into two people, which were completely different between public and private. Now it was just a private friendship, which naturally did not interfere with the etiquette of rulers and ministers.

What really frightened Qi Yun was that Chu Chengyun actually climbed high!

As an emperor, it is common sense not to climb high and not to face danger, but now Chu Chengyun is stepping on a stool to pick grapes with his own temperament. What if he falls

Qi Yun didn't care if he fell or not, but if the emperor fell in the yard of his third brother, it would be a big sin.

Qi Yun almost subconsciously said to Liu Si who was on the side: "Go over, hold some chairs, don't... don't let this young man fall."

Liusi hurriedly responded and trotted over to ask for help.

Chu Chengyun had already picked a bunch of grapes, and when he saw Liusi coming, he helped Liusi to the ground with a smile on his face: "Erlang doesn't have to worry so much, isn't it okay for me?"

Qi Yun had a straight face and a serious expression. He cupped his hands and said, "Young master has a noble status and is not more than ordinary people. It is better to be cautious."

Ye Jiao rarely heard Qi Yun's serious talk, which made her look at Chu Chengyun curiously, and saw that Chu Chengyun's face was a little helpless, but still said: "I see, Erlang, you are also with you. As before, Zhilan Yushu has a good temperament, but it's a bit rigid."

Qi Yun looked at him and said, "Make a living for the world."

When Chu Chengyun heard the words, he felt that Qi Yun was really admonishing him, so he immediately put the grapes aside, looked straight, and said to Qi Yun, "Mr.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a salute, especially a gentleman. Ye Pingrong, who was watching, was very relieved, thinking that if Chu Chengyun could be a little more stable in the future, he would also save himself from fear.

But when they were talking, Tie Zi lowered his eyes first, trying to hide the helplessness in his eyes.

I'm afraid it's in this yard, and Tie Zi knows that his second young master is not for the world at all, but is just afraid that the person sitting on the dragon chair falls and touches here, which will implicate the third young master...

But the greatest ability of the second young master of his own is that he can hide his own selfishness very well, and the reason he speaks is irrefutable.

Tie Zi glanced at Chu Chengyun, and felt that this person's expression was exactly the same as when he gave money to his second young master's caravan.

Such a good and good emperor is really rare.

But soon they stopped talking about it, and instead asked people to put the bamboo tables and chairs under the grape trellis.

Liusi brought the washed grapes and put them on the table, next to them was a silver stick for picking grape seeds.

Qi Yun and Ye Pingrong met at the ceremony, but without seeing Qi Ming, they asked, "Brother, where is Saburo?"

Ye Pingrong lowered his voice: "He chilled the wine in the well in the backyard and said he wanted to bring it up and drink it together."

Qi Yun couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't expect Qi Ming to be able to drink now. It was clear that his younger brother would get drunk when he smelled alcohol.

And this is Qi Ming's yard after all, no matter whether it is a noble person like Chu Chengyun, or Qi Yun as an elder brother, no one is urged to urge him, he just wants to wait.

After sitting down, Ye Jiao cautiously moved closer to Qi Yun, avoiding the scattered sunlight.

Now it's the midsummer season, the sun outside is very vicious, and the shadow of the grape trellis casts a cool shade, but the wind in the past is still a bit dry.

Qi Yun naturally turned her body to lean on her, while Ye Jiao reached out and clasped Qi Yun's hand.

Although Qi Yun's hands and feet were not as cold as in previous years, the slightly lower body temperature than ordinary people still made Ye Jiao feel a lot more comfortable.

Qi Erlang asked in a low voice, "Is it too hot for the girl?"

Ye Jiao nodded honestly and looked at him eagerly.

Qi Yun said to Tie Zi, "Go and take down the box I brought."

Tie Zi responded with a sound, turned around and went out and asked someone to carry it together. After moving in, Tie Zi opened it in front of several people and saw an ice mirror inside.

This ice mirror is not something that ordinary people can afford. It is naturally available in Chu Chengyun's palace, but it is not easy to see in officials' homes.

Qi Yun didn't hide it, and said directly: "This is the ice mirror I got before. The caravan brought back seven. I kept two at my parents' house, I used one for myself, one for the third brother, and one for the children. got one."

Chu Chengyun calculated and said, "How about two more?"

Qi Yun originally wanted to sell the remaining two, but since he met Chu Chengyun, he changed his mind and said lightly, "Of course it's for your son." Seeing Chu Chengyun's surprise, Qi Yun's voice was calm. , "Young Master paid, I contributed, and the caravan grew. This is what the son deserves. It doesn't matter whether the son is rich or not, I will give it to you. As for how to deal with it, it is not something I have to consider. "

In one sentence, Chu Chengyun's doubts were dispelled.

Even if his heart is kind and kind, but in the end he is in his position, he will do his own thing, and others will give him things for no reason, and anyone will feel that his heart is not right.

But Qiyun's righteous words seem to have no selfishness at all, and his image in Chu Chengyun's heart is too selfless, and he is everywhere in the world, so Chu Chengyun said: "What Erlang said is," Then he glanced at Qi Yun and sighed, "If only you could be an official."

Qi Yun showed the first smile of the day and said, "As long as you have the world in your heart, no matter what you do, it will be the same. In a few days, the caravan will come back, and the young master will not be disappointed by then."

Chu Chengyun remembered that he had asked the caravan to record maps along the way. Although he only went out twice, he was able to fill in many blank spots before.

He is not a person who likes to go to war, but knowing oneself and knowing each other can be peaceful and happy. These are naturally extremely precious.

With an excited look on his face, Chu Chengyun talked to Qi Yun about what the caravan was going to prepare, but Qi Yun took the opportunity to ask for a lot of cheap from Chu Chengyun, and Chu Chengyun answered them one by one.

Regardless of whether Chu Chengyun saw Qi Yun's thoughts or not, he would agree, because the benefits that the caravan could bring were far greater than what they paid for.

And these Ye Jiao didn't pay much attention. With Qi Yun in business, Xiao Ginseng didn't worry about it.

At this moment, the little ginseng was watching Tie Zi take out the ice cube. Ye Jiao looked at the piece of ice that was not too big or not. She hesitated and said, "Knock down one piece, and put the rest back."

Tie Zi was stunned, and said softly: "Second Young Mistress, I saw that Second Young Master meant to fan the wind with this ice."

Ye Jiao naturally understood what he meant. Because Qi Er was not short of money, and Ye Jiao was afraid of the heat, Qi's home ice was always extravagant.

Others are only willing to use ice cubes to make ice cream, and use a small piece of ice cream, but Qi's family just takes a large piece out and puts it in the house, and let people fan the air next to it, so as to reduce the cool breeze in the house. heat.

In summer, ice gold is very expensive, and it is Qi Erlang who is willing to use it without taking money as money.

This time, Qi Yun brought Bingjian, thinking that it would be used by Ye Jiao first.

But the little ginseng remembered what Qi Yun said just now. He said that he would give Saburo an ice mirror, so she naturally thought that this was for Qi Ming.

Ye Jiao didn't know whether what Qi Yun said was true or not. As long as what Qi Yun said, she would take it seriously.

The thing I gave to my third brother was my husband's heart. Everything in this world is cheap, only the heart is the most expensive. The little ginseng is naturally not willing to waste it, so he said: "Knock down a piece and let someone make ice cream, and knock another piece to put water. Cool melons and fruits, put them back first."

Seeing that Qi Yun had no objection, Tie Zi complied and let people do what Ye Jiao said.

Qi Yun listened to it, and understood Ye Jiao's thoughts in her heart.

His sweet girl always remembered him, just like Qi Yun kept Ye Jiao on the tip of her heart all the time.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for

Chu Chengyun didn't notice the warmth between Qi Er and his wife. At the moment, he was full of what to do after the caravan came back and drew all the maps.

On the other hand, Ye Pingrong looked at his younger sister and brother-in-law more, and always felt that as long as his younger sister and Qi Yun were together, he would become a world, and there was sweetness everywhere, even if they never talked to each other, they always took it with them. Loving.

However, Ye Pingrong immediately thought of Hua Ning, and his expression softened, thinking in his heart that he didn't know what Hua Ning was doing right now

When Qi Ming came back, Chu Chengyun's grapes had already been eaten clean.

Fortunately, Chu Chengyun still remembered his virtuous brother and left two for him.

The seedlings of this grape trellis were sent by Shi, and the best varieties in the orchard were selected, and the grapes produced were naturally sweet as honey.

When Qi Ming poured out the wine, Qi Yun asked Ye Jiao to bring ice cream, but did not let her drink the wine, while Qi Yun looked at the grapes on the table and the wine in the glass. He looked peaceful, not knowing what he was thinking.

The dishes on the table were all brought by steward Qin. Although Qi Ming's small kitchen can cook food, today's reception is Chu Chengyun. Naturally, Qi Yun will not let the small kitchen delay time and directly send people to the restaurant. Set a table.

Steward Qin didn't ask more, but he knew that Qi Yun was serious, so he didn't dare to slack off, and asked his cook to use all his housekeeping skills.

However, Ye Jiao and Ye Pingrong were happy to eat these dishes. The Qi brothers and Chu Chengyun didn't use their chopsticks too much.

After two glasses of wine, Qi Ming was the first to lie down.

Obviously, Qi Saburo hadn't understood the beauty of the contents in this cup. He just drank a little and couldn't hold it, his face flushed, and he fell asleep on the table.

Qi Yun obviously didn't expect that he really didn't know how to drink. After being stunned for a while, he said to Liu Si, "Go make the sober soup, and bring him some food. Make sure he eats before going to sleep."

Liu Si responded and hurriedly carried his second young master into the house.

Qi Yun found that Chu Chengyun did not follow, but sat there, holding chopsticks, staring at him with a smile.

This made Qi Erlang feel strange, but he didn't ask directly, but still calmly peeled the shrimp shell for Ye Jiao, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in Ye Jiao's bowl.

Chu Chengyun had something to tell Qi Yun when he left the palace this time. Now that he has the opportunity, he will not wait any longer. He coughed softly: "Erlang, I have something I want to discuss with you alone."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Pingrong was about to get up and wanted to pull his little sister away.

Ye Jiao was a little dazed, with shrimp still on her chopsticks.

Qi Yun stood up and said, "It just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to the young master. Why don't you and I go to the study?"

Chu Chengyun thought for a while, and felt that this matter really had to be said in private, so he nodded, and the two went to Qi Ming's study together.

Seeing this, Ye Pingrong did it again and let go of Ye Jiao's hand. Seeing his little sister's puzzled expression, he hurriedly reassured him, "Come on, Jiao Niang, don't worry about them."

Ye Jiao threw down her chopsticks, looked at the direction of the study with some worry, then looked at Ye Pingrong and asked, "Brother, what are they talking about?"

Ye Pingrong has followed Chu Chengyun for a long time, so he naturally knows the reason, but Chu Chengyun did not name him to tell others, so Ye Pingrong could only pretend not to know from the beginning to the end, but now it is Ye Jiao who is asking him, Ye Dalang always treats his little sister the same way. If it's different, you can only vaguely say: "Marriage."

This made Ye Jiao blink, and then suddenly said, "My husband does not accept a concubine."

Seeing her misunderstanding, Ye Pingrong couldn't help crying and laughing: "Don't worry, Jiao Niang, no one asked her brother-in-law to take a concubine, it's... It's the marriage of Master Qi."

Only Qi Ming could be called an adult in the Qi family.

Ye Jiao understood that this was Chu Chengyun looking for a daughter-in-law for his Saburo.

There was a smile on her face, and she wanted to know whose daughter Saburo would marry, but the little ginseng saw Ye Pingrong's difficulty, so she temporarily held back her temper and didn't ask in detail, but stuffed the shrimp into her mouth and ate happily. .

When they returned, Ye Jiao sat on the carriage and held Qi Yun, and then asked, "Master, who does the emperor want to tell Saburo?"

Qi Yun always knew everything about Ye Jiao, and immediately said, "The fifth girl from the Meng family was the one who gave Saburo the Jade Flower Hairpin before."

Meng family…

Ye Jiao blinked: "But with Huiniang's family?"

Qi Yun's eyelids twitched again, and nodded slowly: "Yes, it's the Queen's sister."

In his heart, he was sullen, it was amazing that his third brother was going to become the emperor's brother-in-law.

Before Chu Chengyun called Qi Yun away, Qi Erlang thought that Chu Chengyun was going to mess with the mandarin ducks. Who would have thought that he was thinking of the beauty of an adult.

After all, the family rank is very different. If Chu Chengyun didn't mention it personally this time, Qi Yun would never believe it.

It's just that Chu Chengyun also said clearly: "If Saburo and the Meng family can do good things, they will rely more on them in the future, and what I ask him to do will be a little safer, and I am also thinking about Saburo."

Qi Yun closed his eyes slightly, realizing that Qi Ming was now tied to Chu Chengyun and could not escape.

Chu Chengyun made it clear that he wanted to push his policy, and he had not many capable officials and officials. Shi Tianrui was one of them, and Qi Ming was the next.

He told Qi Ming about the Meng family's marriage, just to find a way out for Qi Ming.

This retreat is really a wealthy family, and people like the Qi family can't even dream of it, but the better the retreat, the more dangerous the road ahead for Qi Ming.

Originally, I thought it was a good thing for my third brother to have a good relationship with the emperor, but looking at it now, it is not always the case.

Ye Jiao didn't think about it that much, but said with a smile: "Then it's time to tell my mother about this. I said in my last letter that the door of our house was about to be broken by the matchmaker. Now that someone has If you want to be a matchmaker for Saburo, it’s better not to accept it from the family.”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun immediately opened his eyes.

If the father and mother agree to the person next to him, Qi Ming will marry another family, and it will be troublesome if he can't be loyal and filial.

When he knew about Yuhua before, he thought about sending a letter to his parents, but then he forgot about it. If it wasn't for Ye Jiao's reminder now, Qi Yun would not be able to remember it.

Qi Yun immediately tilted her head and kissed Ye Jiao on the mouth. Although Ye Jiao didn't quite understand what he was thinking, she still hugged the man's neck with a smile and leaned in to kiss him.

After returning home, Qi Yun asked Ye Jiao to go to the yard to wait for him, and after Ye Jiao left, Qi Yun looked solemn and said solemnly: "Tie Zi, bring a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to my family. "

Tie Zi asked, "But you need to pass it on by letter?"

"No, flying pigeons pass the book, the sooner the better."

In less than two days, the pigeon landed at Qi's house, and the letter on the pigeon's leg was sent to Mrs. Liu.

And most of the letters passed on by pigeons were very important, so Mrs. Liu was busy looking for Mrs. Liu.

At this time, Mrs. Liu was reciting Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall, but this time, it was not for health, but for peace.

In the past, Mrs. Liu knelt in the small ancestral hall, mostly because Qi Yun's body was up and down, and he had to go to the gate of hell to go around in circles. Only by reciting scriptures could Mrs. Liu feel at ease.

Now Qi Yun's body is much better, the husband and wife are happy, the children are both, and life is going smoothly, Liu Shi will ask for something else.

Seeing Mrs. Liu coming in, Mrs. Liu stopped turning the hand of the Buddha beads, turned her head to look at her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said warmly, "Why, but Yue'er is awake?"

This month is the daughter of Fang's who was born a few days ago. She was born at night, and when the bright moon was in the sky that night, she was named Yueer.

Although this child was not big when it was born, it was very strong. I think it was because Fang Shi was in good health when she was pregnant, and even with the child in her belly, she was healthy. The little girl cried loudly. I could hear that, but Liu Shi felt that Yue'er was so healthy, and the baby was not good. Usually, whether it was eating or sleeping, the first thing Liu Shi would do when he woke up was to ask how his little granddaughter was doing.

Mrs. Liu walked over to help Mrs Liu stand up, and said in her mouth, "Madam Hui, Miss Yue hasn't woken up yet, but the second young master sent a letter and sent it with pigeons. I was afraid of delaying things, so I disturbed the lady's recitation. through."

Liu Shi immediately straightened his expression and reached out to take the letter from Mrs. Liu.

Because pigeons have thin legs, the bamboo tubes that can be sent are not large, and the paper inside is mostly slender strips rolled into a ball, and there are not many characters that can be written.

This time Qi Yun's news is concise and to the point.

' Saburo has his own marriage, and he listens to the heavens, and hopes that his parents will be fulfilled. '

Although there are not many words, Liu Shi can understand the meaning.

She immediately said to Mrs. Liu, "Go, please come over."

Father Qi was originally in Zhuangzi. He heard that Mrs. Liu was looking for him. He came back without saying a word. When he got home, it was already night. He saw sweat on his head, and he spoke with breathlessness: "Madam, what happened? What's the matter?"

Liu Shi called him over to sit down and handed the note to Father Qi.

Father Qi took a look, looked up at Mrs. Liu, and said, "What do you mean by Shangdatian?"

Liu Shi took the handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and when he heard the words, he knew that his father-in-law was confused, so he patiently said: "That is to say, the marriage of Saburo of our family will be decided by the emperor's help, so we don't need to worry about it."

The expression on Qi's father's face became more and more strange: "Why does the emperor care about everything, the marriage is the fate of the parents, the matchmaker's words..."

"Master Tiandi, this is the creation of our son, are you still not happy?" Mrs. Liu glared at him, and after seeing Father Qi shut up honestly, Mrs. Liu continued, "Erlang never speaks nonsense, since Mr. He said it was important, that was it, we'd better listen to him."

Father Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know that Lord Zhou told me about this, and I can't shirk his daughter's money to give to our son."

If it was before, Mrs. Liu would not have rejected Zhizhou's kindness, but now, she is extraordinarily decisive: "As long as you don't nod your head, you should push it, otherwise, if something really happens, it will make it difficult for Mr. Zhizhou to do it. It's better not to have this head in the first place."

Father Qi opened his mouth and didn't speak, but there was still some worry between his brows.

Liu Shi clapped his hand and said, "This is not to offend people. If you agree, you will offend people. Besides, what matters are more important than your son?"

Although Father Qi was of average talent, he was the most important to his wife and children, and he was very persuasive, so he nodded and wrote a letter himself to ask the pigeon to bring it back to Qi Yun.

When Qi Erlang received the letter, he was afraid for a while.

If you really let your parents tell Saburo at home, and there is another girl named Meng Wu, then his own Saburo will be caught in the middle, it will not be a person inside or outside, and maybe it will hinder the official body.

Fortunately, things dissipated before they came out, which is a happy event.

On this day, Qi Yun wrote a day in the room, "Don't forget the danger, the prosperity must consider the decline" for self-examination. That night, he asked people to boil eggs to eat, but Ye Jiao's way of being polite made Ye Jiao misunderstood. He dragged Qi Yun to use the bathtub together, and then tossed from the inside of the bathtub to the outside, and didn't fall asleep until three hours later.

After another month, the heat dissipated a little, and Ye Jiao asked people to set up a swing in the yard next to the cool house.

When Shi came to see the pillars that people were using for swings, Shi hurriedly walked around and walked into the cool room. After seeing Ye Jiao, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you remember swinging?"

Ye Jiao was rubbing Ruyi's belly at the moment, when she heard the words, she turned her head and smiled at Shi Shi, "It wasn't me, it was Xu Bao who saw Hua Ning's swing at my brother's place last time. Yes, it was hot before, and the heat was heavy, but now that it's a little cooler, let someone build one out for Xu Bao to play with."

Shi Shi walked up to Ye Jiao and sat down, and asked her to put the food box she brought on the table. She seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and said, "Xu Bao likes to play. It's a good thing, staring at the book every day makes my eyes tired." Then Shi Shi looked at Ruyi, who was giggling, and reached out to greet her, "Ruyi, do you miss Auntie?"

Ruyi was hugging Ye Jiao's hand with a smile, her smiling eyes narrowed, and when she heard Shi's words, she looked over, recognized the person, and said crisply, "Aunt Xiu, Ruyi misses you."

It's just that although she was thinking in her mouth, she held Ye Jiao tightly in her hands, obviously not wanting to leave her mother.

Shi Shi often came, so she naturally knew Ruyi's temperament, her mouth was always sweet, and she made people happy, but her heart was always attached to her parents.

Don't look at Ning Bao looking cold and indifferent, but as long as he is familiar with him, anyone can hug him.

Ruyi is different, as long as her mother is there, she will not let others hold her, she will always look wronged and look distressed.

Shi Shi knew that the little girl had an idea in her mind, but she was not angry, but smiled and said, "It's good to be like this."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but wonder, "Where is it?"

Shi Shi smiled and looked at her: "Be with you more, and look back and be as good-natured as Jiao Niang, that's fine."

Ye Jiao didn't hear that she was joking, but nodded, kissed Ruyi, and said proudly, "My daughter is naturally like me."

Shi Shi nodded again and again, and leaned in to kiss Ruyi, and Xiao Ruyi let her kiss her, and buried her face in Ye Jiao's arms a little embarrassed.

After a while, Ruyi yawned, and soon fell asleep.

Ye Jiao handed her to Mrs. Mo and took her to sleep. Then she looked at Shi Shi and asked, "Yingxiu, did you have something to tell me just now?"

Shi nodded, leaned over, and said softly, "I heard people say that the Privy Councilor has been reprimanded and will leave the capital in a few days."

… Privy straight bachelor

Ye Jiao felt that this official position was a little familiar, and then she remembered that the previous Miss Lu Qi belonged to the Privy Councilor's family, but that one and this are no longer the same person, and they have changed two in the past few years.

It is really difficult to do this official position, and the risk is quite high.

Then I heard Shishi say: "I listened to my sister-in-law's words. The successor has not been decided yet. Your Saburo belongs to the Privy Council, so be careful recently, I'm afraid someone will come from your house."

Ye Jiao didn't know anything about official affairs, so she just wrote it down and prepared to talk to Qi Yun at night.

At this moment, Xiao Su hurried in. Seeing Shi Shi was there, he hesitated and didn't speak. Shi Shi could see that there was something urgent, so he got up with a smile and said goodbye.

When she left, Xiao Su said, "Second Young Mistress, Young Master Stone was beaten in the academy."

The author has something to say: Qi Yun: Brother, you have grown up

Chu Chengyun: It's time to have a family

Ye Jiao: Huiniang must be happy

Liu: It's really nice

Qi - everyone knows about my marriage but I don't know - Ming: ... ? ?
