When Qi Ming came back this time, he didn't make an appointment with Ye Pingrong. The two met at the gate of Qi Mansion.
When Qi Ming saw Ye Pingrong, he looked behind him specifically, and found that there was no trace of Chu Chengyun.
Ye Pingrong naturally knows who this person is looking for. If it is someone else, Ye Pingrong will definitely laugh at that person's face. Is the honor of the ninety-five you can see if you want
But Qi Ming is different. Chu Chengyun values him, and now the marriage between Qi San and the Meng family is about to be decided. The two will be brothers and sisters. The relationship is very close. some.
So Ye Pingrong got off his horse and smiled at Qi Ming: "Master Qi, don't look for it, the Empress is a little uncomfortable this morning, and Your Majesty is afraid that she won't be able to get away, and the poem meeting originally scheduled with Master Qi will not come on time. Got an appointment."
When Qi Ming heard the words, he immediately replied: "The matter of the Empress is naturally a big deal, and poetry can be discussed at any time." After that, Qi Ming paused and said, "Brother Ye, please call me Saburo in private, always call me sire. I'm not used to it."
Ye Pingrong was not polite, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Sanlang, please."
Qi Ming also raised his hand: "Brother Ye, please."
But before entering the door, Ye Pingrong whispered to Qi Ming: "The emperor has made his own decision about the Privy Council recently, and Saburo should stay away."
These words should not have been casually spread, but they are now a family, reminding Qi Ming also means Chu Chengyun, and the matter involves the court, it is not easy to tell Qi Yun and Ye Jiao in front of them, and now they have met Say it early.
Qi Ming looked at Ye Pingrong, his footsteps paused slightly, and when he looked left and right, he found that everyone else was standing far away, and then he asked in a low voice, "Brother Ye, what is going on?"
Now that Qi Ming is the deputy clerk of the privy council, whoever the above privy councilor straight scholar should have changed should not have been his beak, but it was really too diligent to change.
I heard that the previous one has just been gone for less than two years, and now this one has been reprimanded again, which makes Qi Saburo a little confused.
Ye Pingrong looked at him in surprise: "You don't know?"
Qi Ming shook his head honestly.
This matter of left and right also has something to do with Qi Ming, and it is not a big secret, Ye Pingrong didn't hide it from him, and said directly: "Now this person is gone now, and he deserves it. I want to get it cheap when I chose a concubine before. I was rushing to get close to the Empress, and I made the Empress ill."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming understood why this one was unlucky.
How good Chu Chengyun treats Empress Meng is almost known to the world. Storytellers are always boasting, almost spreading the word about the harmony between the emperor and the empress. In addition, he does not accept concubines, and the middle palace is pregnant. It's even more joyous. Isn't it bad luck to rush to provoke this
Seeing him nodding, Ye Pingrong continued: "As for the previous privy clerk, Master Lu, he was not upright, plus the seven girls in his family were cowardly with others, secretly pregnant with pearls, but he had to find Saburo to do that. Taking advantage of your head and cheating your parents to get married, people like this deserve a bad life."
Qi Ming: …
Seeing Qi Ming froze, Ye Pingrong was also a little curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Why, you don't know about Saburo?"
In fact, Ye Pingrong knew about the ins and outs, but it was because Chu Chengyun was concerned about Qi Ming. At that time, when Qi Yun's letter came, Chu Chengyun asked people to investigate, and when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he wanted to clear the officialdom, so he put this Lord Lu swept it down.
It stands to reason that the client Qi Ming should know more than he knows.
But in fact, Qi Ming really knew nothing.
At that time, he was studying in the academy, preparing for the imperial examination, and his family never told him this. Qi Ming had no idea that he almost became a stepfather for no reason...
At that time, he was clearly worrying about how to write thirty large characters every day.
Thinking of this, Qi Ming suddenly said: "So it is, I can understand why the second brother pressed me to let me write big characters, and I couldn't even get out of the academy gate. It was for my own good." Was tied away and pressed his head to marry
It has to be said that Qi Ming had a headache from the previous arrest of his son-in-law, and he still remembers it freshly.
And Qi Erlang's image in Qi Ming's heart became more and more brilliant.
Ye Pingrong always felt that Qi Yun had the family and the world in his heart and that everything was right. Even if he didn't understand what Qi Ming meant, he still nodded: "Well, of course, he naturally cares about you."
When Qi Yun got the news that they were coming, he asked someone to open the door. At this moment, Qi Erlang was standing at the door, looking at them politely and politely, without rushing, only after the two entered the door and greeted each other. He said, "Don't be so tossed about it when you go home in the future. We're all a family, so the people who come and go won't even be able to eat hot food, and Jiao Niang is still waiting."
Ye Pingrong only acts as his brother-in-law and does not let him see the outside world. This is closeness and his smile deepens.
But Qi Ming knew that what his second brother said was true, and the second brother really thought they were annoying...
But Qi Ming wouldn't point it out, he just agreed, and then the three of them walked towards the front hall.
When I arrived, I saw Ye Jiao holding Ruyi and swaying around, but Ye Jiao usually stared at the baby when she was holding the baby, pinching here and there, as if the baby was not enough, but today she was straight up. He stared at the table, unable to turn his eyes away.
Xiao Ruyi was held in her arms by her own mother, and it was inevitable that she felt bored. Fortunately, the little girl was a child who knew how to entertain herself since she was born. If she wanted to move, she would tug at Ye Jiao's finger, and then Ye Jiao would subconsciously. Dump her.
Pulling and moving, Ruyi seemed to find it interesting, giggling to herself, leaning on Ye Jiao to move around, humming an unknown tone in her mouth.
Shi Shi and Xu Bao on the side had their own small chairs, and they sat on their own. As for Ning Bao, he was a quiet person. He occasionally glanced at Ruyi, and at other times, he followed Ye Jiao to stare at the table.
Ye Jiao kept looking at the dishes on the table, and when the men entered the door, she looked over and smiled and stood up to greet her.
With just one glance, Ye Pingrong understood why Qi Yun was waiting at the door just now.
Although I came here on a whim, Qi Ming was going to go home every few days. It was fixed. I thought that this meal had been arranged a long time ago. As a result, when he and Qi Ming were delayed at the door, they were hungry. to my own girl.
It turned out that what my brother-in-law said just now was not polite, but the truth.
Qi Ming was more clever, trotting a few steps over to take Ruyi's hug from Ye Jiao's arms, holding it high and coaxing Ruyi to laugh, he then said to Ye Jiao obediently, "Let the second sister-in-law wait for a long time. already."
Ye Jiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, did you get sunburned on the way here?"
Qi Ming hugged Ruyi and said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, second sister-in-law, I'm here in a carriage this time, and there's a block of ice on the carriage. It's not hot."
Seeing that Ye Jiao didn't care about him, Ye Pingrong took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, sister, I'm not hot either."
Ye Jiao looked at Ye Pingrong and blinked: "Brother also came by carriage?"
"No, I'm riding a horse."
As soon as he heard this, Xu Bao looked at Ye Pingrong and said with a smile: "Uncle, Xu Bao also wants to ride a big horse!"
When Ye Pingrong heard this, he immediately laughed, walked over and picked up Xu Bao with one hand, letting him sit on his arm, and then said: "Okay, when Xu Bao can mount his own horse in the future, uncle I'll take you to ride and find the best horse for you."
Xu Bao stretched out his hand: "Tick the tick, uncle will make a decision."
Qi Yun wanted to say don't promise Xu Bao anything easily, this child has a good memory, he can always remember what he promised him, and he will definitely fulfill it, so he can't coax him.
But before Qi Yun could speak, Ye Pingrong stretched out his fingers.
It's just that Ye Pingrong is a military general after all. He usually dances knives and guns, and his fingers are much thicker than ordinary people. Xu Bao was still a child. The little meat hand gestured in the past.
Xu Bao muttered while comparing: "What a big man."
Ye Pingrong let him play with it, and said with a smile on his face: "It's normal for my uncle to practice martial arts with bigger hands."
How many people are practicing martial arts
Xu Bao felt that he had found another reason not to let his younger brother practice martial arts. How scary, such a chubby, chubby, milky younger brother would be scared to death if his hands were so big in the future!
But the little guy still didn't forget about riding the big horse. The hook couldn't be pulled, so he grabbed Ye Pingrong's fingertips and shook it with a smile on his face.
Qi Yun could naturally see what Xu Bao was laughing at.
This child is afraid that he is proud of himself, and he will get the best horse in the world in the future.
Ye Jiao walked over with a smile, took Xu Bao and put it into the small chair, then pulled Ye Pingrong into the seat, and said to Mrs. Mo, "Go and add more bowls and chopsticks."
Qi Yun followed: "Also, take out the jar of wine I brought back a few days ago."
Ye Pingrong naturally knew that Ye Jiao and Qi Yun didn't drink very often, and he had also seen Qi Ming's alcohol intake. Now that he said that he brought out the wine, it was naturally prepared for him.
Without rejecting it, Ye Pingrong said with a smile: "I have nothing to do today. Your Majesty will go down to accompany the empress. It should not be passed on to me. It is fine for me to have a drink."
Qi Yun naturally knew that Ye Pingrong could not get drunk, even if he was not on duty in the palace today, but Ye Pingrong is now a popular person in front of the emperor. If something happened to Chu Chengyun, he would be called into the palace. It is a disaster if the alcohol collides with the holy drive.
Therefore, Qi Yun said: "This jar of wine is an old wine, but it is fragrant but not easily intoxicating. There is no one in my family who likes to drink. Big brother will take it away later."
Ye Pingrong smiled and nodded.
When they were having dinner, the Qi family did not have the rule of not saying anything, and they said a lot, most of them were not polite, but down-to-earth, especially Ye Pingrong and Qi Ming, who are now officials in the same dynasty, plus Qi Ming's Privy Council. If you change people, you should also communicate with each other.
However, many words are not easy to explain, and it is enough to know each other.
They will also be more concerned about Qi Yun's business, not only because Qi Yun's wine shop is becoming more and more prosperous now, but also because Qi Yun's caravan arrives in Beijing, Chu Chengyun pays special attention, those painters and scholars must be summoned by the emperor Yes, Ye Pingrong came this time to set a time with Qi Yun so that Chu Chengyun could meet them.
Ye Jiao, on the other hand, has been eating with concentration, with a particularly pious expression.
For Little Ginseng, she has never forgotten her original intention, and Ye Jiao has never forgotten the purpose of becoming a human being.
After cultivating for thousands of years, time is not uncommon for spirits and monsters. Isn't this a good situation in this world
Being able to eat delicious food without eating soil is a gift from God. Ye Jiao was never willing to waste even a grain of rice, and when she ate something delicious, she could smile and narrow her eyes.
And several children have followed her to eat since they were young, and they have learned ten percent of her appearance. Even a little baby like a dragon and a phoenix who can only use a spoon, they take the food in front of them very seriously.
The expression was very focused, and it looked like a family.
Originally Shito was a favored person at home. Although Mr. Fang pressed him to read and read, he was always accustomed to other things around him. It was common for Shito to leak leftovers when he was eating.
But now, after following Ye Jiao, Xiao Shishi can eat all the rice in the bowl time and time again, and there is nothing left.
The children became sleepy after eating, and rubbed their eyes soon after, so Qi Yun asked them to take them to take a nap first.
After the children were carried away, the front hall looked a lot empty.
Ye Jiao was finally able to ask, "What happened to the Empress?"
Empress Meng's temperament, Ye Jiao, was clear. She looked weak and gentle, but she was actually the most stubborn and tenacious. If it wasn't for a major event, she wouldn't let Chu Chengyun accompany her for a day.
Ye Pingrong couldn't speak directly about the matter of the emperor's trace, so he could only vaguely say: "It's not in the way, I've asked the imperial doctor and said it's fine, just take a little rest."
Ye Jiao felt relieved when she heard the words, thinking that she would accompany Hua Ning to the palace in a few days, and then she would just look at it later.
As for what happened in the palace, Ye Jiao didn't know. After Ye Pingrong and Qi Ming left, she went back to the courtyard with Qi Yun.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the three children who had woken up and were sitting on the soft couch and playing in a ball.
Ruyi still holds Ning Bao and does not let go, Ning Bao is left to her, Xu Bao is doing his due diligence to fulfill his responsibilities as a brother, protecting his younger brothers and sisters, touching and pinching from time to time, especially likes to rub Ning Bao 's little fleshy cheeks.
If it was in the past, Ning Bao would definitely turn around and dodge.
Today, she was pressed by Ruyi and couldn't move, so she could only stare and be pinched in the face by Xu Bao.
Seeing Qi Yun and Ye Jiao entering the door, Ning Bao spoke first, "Father, mother, want to hug."
As soon as Qi Yun saw it, he knew that the younger son couldn't stand Xu Bao, and he didn't want to refuse his brother's closeness, so he could only ask them for help, hoping that they would "rescue" him.
Ye Jiao didn't think about it that much. She rarely heard Ning Bao acting like a spoiled child, so she immediately smiled, she walked over and took Ning Bao into her arms and hugged her.
Then, Ye Jiao took out the object in Xiao Su's hand and stuffed it into Ning Bao's arms: "Here, this is from your uncle, do you like it?"
Ning Bao looked down and saw a small wooden sword in his arms.
This thing is just a thing to play with. It's not big, and it's very rounded in four times. It can't hurt anyone. It's better to say that it's a wooden sword.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, held a small jade Ruyi and shook it in front of his daughter, and said, "This is also the Ruyi that my uncle gave to Ruyi."
Xiao Ruyi blinked, a little dazed: "Is this also Ruyi?"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to take it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qi Yun had long expected this scene, so he didn't give it to Ruyi directly. He turned his wrist and avoided Ruyi's little hand, sat sideways on the soft couch and hugged his daughter, and said slowly, "This is Yu Ruyi, Daddy's Ruyi is much cuter than her."
Ruyi laughed when she heard it.
Xu Bao followed suit: "Yes, my sister is cute."
Ye Jiao, who was sitting beside Qi Yun, softened her brows and eyes, but she soon felt Xu Bao staring at her, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Xu Bao?"
Xu Bao pitifully tugged at Ye Jiao's sleeve and said, "Mother, there are younger brothers and sisters, does Xu Bao not? And brother Shitou."
Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun, while Qi Erlang said calmly, "Xubao still remembers Brother Shitou, it's good."
Xu Bao was a child after all, he was a little aggrieved at first, but when he heard this, he puffed up his chest proudly.
Then I heard Qi Yun say: "Uncle is here to give your younger brother and sister something to catch Zhou. Xu Bao has already passed one year old, so naturally he can't use it."
Xu Bao blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Dad, what is catching Zhou?"
Qi Yun knew that Xu Bao was smart, so he didn't try to fool him, but explained patiently, "When the child is born for one year, let the child grab something to measure his future."
"Is it accurate?"
"It's just a custom."
The word "custom" doesn't always appear in the first place. In Xu Bao's mind, many things that are not clear are customs, so he doesn't ask deeply, "Oh", but he quickly shook Qi Yun's sleeve: "Then Why didn't Xu Bao arrest Zhou?"
This stopped Qi Yun.
Counting forward, Xu Bao's one-year-old coincides with the time when the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. The most important thing is that there is no big deal, just invite people to have a meal.
The matter of catching Zhou was caught by Liu Shi and Ye Jiao in the house, but Qi Yun didn't see it.
Ye Jiao also remembered, and smiled at Xu Bao: "Xu Bao caught it. At that time Xu Bao caught the brush, don't you remember?"
Little Fatty sat there, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't remember, but Xu Bao loved to read since he was a child, and he also liked pen, ink, paper and inkstone. When he saw it, he had to touch it. As for when it was time to catch Zhou, how did he know
Seeing that he was not happy, Ye Jiao lifted Ning Bao and handed it to Xu Bao, and whispered to Ruyi, "Come on, coax your brother."
Ning Bao is not like Ruyi, Xiao Ruyi is a sweet sister who is the best at coaxing people, but as warm as Ruyi is, Ning Bao is as bland as she is, and she never takes the initiative to do anything.
At this moment, Ye Jiao handed it directly to Xu Bao. Ning Bao first pursed his soft lips and stared at Xu Bao for a long time before reaching out and pressing on Xu Bao's shoulder. Airway: "Ning Bao hurts brother, brother smiles."
Qi Yun: …
Ye Jiao curled her lips and smiled when she heard this: "Ning Bao is so smart, you usually remember what your brother said, right?"
Xu Bao didn't think there was anything at first, but now it was revealed that he said it when he was coquettish, and he was actually learned by his younger brother...
The little guy immediately forgot what happened just now, and squeezed it into Ye Jiao's arms, buried his face in Ye Jiao's neck, and didn't move, showing that he was embarrassed.
Ye Jiao also hugged him and handed Ning Bao to Qi Yun.
Qi Erlang's daughter in his left hand and his son in the right hand did not feel heavy. He sat cross-legged on the soft couch to the left and looked to the right, very satisfied.
There was another commotion, and it was night time.
The dragon and the phoenix were still young and slept a lot. When they fell asleep, they were carried to the opposite wing.
Xu Bao hugged Ye Jiao, but he didn't leave, there was no other way, Ye Jiao could only leave him in her room to sleep tonight.
Qi Yun originally wanted to reach out and hug his wife, but there was no choice but to lie down in the middle, holding hands with Ye Jiao.
After blowing out the candles, Ye Jiao said, "Master, today there is a letter from home saying that Yue'er is standing upright, and my sister-in-law is also out of confinement, and she is in good health."
Qi Yun responded and lowered his voice: "Don't tell Shishi about Yue'er."
Little Ginseng was a little puzzled: "Why?"
I didn't say it before, because Liu Shi said that the child was just born, and he couldn't help but talk about it.
But now that Lidu is standing, it is time to tell Shito that she has a biological sister.
Qi Yun explained softly: "Stone has just entered the academy now, his mind is uncertain, his homework is still important, and he can't see it if he talks about it now, there is no other benefit other than adding more thoughts, it is better to wait and celebrate the New Year. We're going back, and we'll talk about it then."
Ye Jiao felt that what Qi Yun said was reasonable, so she responded and turned to kiss Qi Yun: "Xiang Gong said yes."
But he forgot that there was a little fat man in the middle, and he kissed Xu Bao's face in one bite.
Xu Bao moved his mouth, muttered "Don't make trouble if you wish" in his sleep, turned over and continued to sleep, making the young couple unable to laugh or cry.
But they also temporarily rested their minds, stopped talking, and went to sleep.
But they could hear each other's breathing, and they clearly didn't fall asleep.
Ye Jiao's fingertips moved slightly, and unexpectedly swept across the man's palm, and the next moment she was held in Qi Yun's hand.
She wanted to pull out her hand, but Qi Yun tightened her grip.
Even if it was just fingertips touching, there was a different feeling. Ye Jiao couldn't tell, it was crisp and numb, as if she stretched her hand into a pool of spring water in midsummer. The fire can't be dissipated.
So, Qi Yun was holding her hand, but Ye Jiao grabbed the man's fingertips.
The little ginseng lay flat, opened his eyes, looked at the top of the bed tent, and asked softly, "Xianggong, are you asleep?"
After a while, Qi Yun said, "No."
Ye Jiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? Jiao Niang, tell me."
"I want to read."
This is an ordinary sentence, but when the two of them are studying at night, it takes a lot of effort and energy.
If it was said that Qi Yun just wanted to hug his wife just now, then now his heart is pounding and the heat is rising.
Being able to be teased so easily, Qi Erlang felt that his concentration was not as strong as before.
Fortunately, there is someone to accompany you.
So Qi Yun sat up, turned his head to look at Xu Bao, who was sleeping on his back, and said in a low voice, "Shall I carry him next door?"
Ye Jiao's eyes were watery and sparkling, and she whispered, "Take it to the opposite side."
Qi Yun immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. If it is placed next door, it is easy to make a noise. If you carry it to the opposite room, you will not be able to hear it...
His ears flushed, Qi Erlang coughed lightly, and hugged his son, thinking that for the happiness of his parents, Xu Bao would sleep by himself tonight.
But as soon as he touched him, he heard Xu Bao muttering something in a low voice.
Obviously the little guy has been talking about it for a long time, but just now the two adults were whispering about doing something bad and didn't notice him, until now Qi Yun got close to him and hugged him, only then did he hear Xu Bao's voice clearly.
This voice was soft and glutinous: "Daddy, I want to shush... um, shush..."
Then, Qi Yun heard the sound of water flowing, and the couch became wet.
Ye Jiao: …
Qi Yun: …
This time, there was no fire.
The author has something to say: Xu Bao: Wronged, Daddy, do you still blame me for not hearing it
Qi Yun: …
