Qi Yun guessed that his parents would be surprised, but he never thought that the old couple would react so much.
When the bowl fell to the ground, Qi Yun got up, supported Qi's father, turned his head to Tie Zi and said, "Pick up as soon as possible, don't stab anyone."
Tie Zi didn't need anyone else to do it, he trotted all the way to get something to clean the ground, then exited neatly, and closed the door thoughtfully.
Father Qi didn't return to his senses, and looked at Qi Yun blankly.
The Liu family is slightly better. Of course, mothers hope that their children will get better and better. She has long known that the emperor intends to marry her Saburo, but this in-law family is too high.
When he first received Qi Yun's letter, Liu Shi thought that there are no suitable age princesses in the royal family. Could it be that some princesses or other noble ladies have taken a fancy to Saburo and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, otherwise how could they use the emperor to confer marriage
This kind of thing is actually not new. Every year among the jinshi, there are people who are favored by high-ranking families, and now the lords in the court are not all relatives of the royal family. There are also many people who want to find Xinke Jinshi as their husbands.
But now the Meng family that Qi Yun is talking about is better than these!
Lord, it sounds good to say, the family has a hereditary title, and it should be a high-profile family, but ordinary people like them are not very happy to find a daughter from such a family.
The status and dignity are not good or not. Even if it is a title, it can only mean that the predecessors planted the tree and the later generations enjoyed the shade. No matter how lush the tree is, it cannot bless the children and grandchildren today.
Many jinshi are full of experience and ambitions, but once they are seen by such people, few of them can make their mark in the imperial court.
Because once you reach the threshold of this kind of family, it will be like a recruit, not to mention that there may not be help in the court, but I am afraid that at home, you will have to stay low for a lifetime.
The Meng family is different. They bear the reputation of the queen's family, and they also have a family head who is a prime minister. The emperor and the queen are harmonious, and they have real power. This kind of family will only get better and better, a first-class dignitary.
As the son-in-law of his family, as long as he is not a fool, he will have a great future.
Now it's his own Saburo's turn...
Liu Shi firmly tugged at the handkerchief on his hand, and at least he calmed down and asked, "Which girl from the Meng family are you talking about?"
Qi Yun replied: "There are two girls in the Meng family. Now I'm talking about the first sister of the Empress, the fifth girl of the Meng family. Her boudoir name is Zhilan."
Five girls, Meng five girls.
Liu Shi repeated this title several times in his mind and wrote it down, but he couldn't remember the birth date for a while, but said: "I don't know what the temperament and appearance of this fifth girl is, how can you get along?"
Although Qi Yun had never met Meng Zhilan, she could guess one or two just by relying on the Meng family's tutoring and Chu Chengyuntou's tone of voice, and said at this moment: "They are both good-looking and very easy to get along with, so mother can rest assured. "
Changed to the other family, even if Qi Ming was a new tanhualang, he was trusted by the emperor, but he was from an ordinary family, so he would inevitably be looked down upon by his husband's family.
But the Meng family is different. This family must have strict family rules. There are many officials in the family, and they are very famous. On the contrary, it can save Qi Ming from being looked down upon.
Mrs Liu nodded and felt relieved. As a mother, Mrs Liu only needed to know that her daughter-in-law was a good one, and he didn't care about the others.
On the other hand, Father Qi managed to regain his senses. He didn't hear what the mother and son said just now. He just looked at Qi Yun and asked, "Erlang, why did the Meng family agree to become in-laws with our family?"
Qi Yun lowered his eyes, thinking to himself, because the emperor was Qi Ming's righteous brother, he wanted to be a brother-in-law, and he wanted to find a backer for Qi Ming's court to facilitate his future governance, so he rushed to match.
But Qi Yun will not tell his parents about this. After all, they are getting old and can't help but frighten them. Although it sounds like a very honorable thing to be a brother with the emperor, but if he says it, he is afraid that the second old man will be shocked. Let them worry, and once it spreads, I am afraid that it will not be good for Saburo's reputation.
Companion is like a tiger. This saying is widely circulated. Everyone feels that it is extremely dangerous to dangle in front of the emperor. Even if Qi Yun himself knows the rare kindness and virtuousness of the emperor today, others will not believe it.
Therefore, Qi Yun just said: "Because Saburo was married, he walked across the street on a horse, and was caught by the fifth girl Meng Meng. The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love at first sight. They made a promise to each other, and the Meng family agreed."
This is also true. It is common sense in the world that girls adore Tanhua Lang, and teenagers are attracted to beautiful girls.
Just listening to Father Qi and Mrs Liu's ears, they instantly made up a lot of drama.
Liu Shi even sighed: "I'm afraid that the fifth girl will have to fight in order to convince her family, and it will be difficult for this child."
Father Qi also nodded: "I actually asked for the emperor's grace. Most of it was the idea of Saburo of our family."
"I don't know if my in-laws are angry..."
"Sanniang, we should prepare more for the betrothal gifts. We can't treat the in-laws badly."
Qi Yun: …
Qi Erlang couldn't think of what his parents were thinking. He just felt that they shouldn't be allowed to listen to so many scriptures. Most of the love stories written by those who failed the list were unreliable, but they sounded like the truth.
But since they even called "in-law", it means that this marriage is bound to happen, so Qi Yun stopped talking, told his parents to continue eating, and left with Tie Zi.
After Qi Yun left, the old couple was relatively silent, sitting there for a long time without speaking.
I was still a little hungry at first, but now I'm scared back, I can't feel it at all.
When the porridge served as a late-night snack on the table had cooled down, Mrs. Liu said, "Since it's already decided, we're going to start preparing... The three media and six hires are indispensable. The ones I prepared for Saburo Everything has to be taken out.”
Father Qi didn't say a word, just sat there, looking at the unknown place, looking a little dazed.
He is an honest and responsible person, and feels that his greatest blessing is to marry such a good lady as Liu.
This... how does this feel like a dream
Liu Shi is a lot more decisive. Since things can't be changed, and it's a good thing like a pie in the sky, she immediately has no other thoughts. Say something, this is a big happy event for our family, don't keep your head down, you should prepare something for Saburo as you see the New Year coming."
Father Qi held Liu Shi back with his hand, raised his head to look at her, his voice a little hoarse: "Sanniang, I... am I in a dream?"
When Liu Shi heard the words, he immediately reached out and squeezed Father Qi's face, and said angrily, "Come on, I don't know how brave you are? Forgive you, you don't dare to have such a dream."
It hurts to be pinched, but Father Qi laughed and said again and again: "The lady is right, I don't dare to have such a dream."
Liu Shi gave him a sideways glance, but laughed along with him, and patted him again. After that, the old couple didn't care about eating, they just went into the inner room and turned out the family account, and figured out how to prepare things for Saburo. .
This time, it is obvious that he is going to marry Gaomen, so this dowry must not be stingy, it must be carefully planned.
It's just that the marriage proposal is not something that can be done overnight. It has to be planned slowly. The second elders of the Qi family did not make a big deal of it. They just silently prepared things for their own Saburo, and because they strongly believed that their Saburo and Meng Wumei were the kind of people who have gone through thousands of years in the story. It is a difficult love story, so it is more and more unwilling to treat Qi Ming and Meng Wu girl badly.
There are a lot of items inside, and Ye Jiao and Mrs. Fang help to buy and look at it. Ye Jiao knows the inside story and won't be curious, while Mrs. Fang doesn't think about it at all. Just buy it.
This year is still extraordinarily lively, even more prosperous than in previous years.
There are more and more shops in the Qi family, and Zhuangzi's harvest is also excellent. This year, nearly 300 pieces of wax money have been released.
The 20 guards who originally came to present the plaques also left, and their whereabouts were unknown. Qi Yun didn't ask, but after they left, they burned three piles of straw, and specifically instructed the small kitchen to make some glutinous rice cakes to get rid of bad luck.
Even if Qi Yun didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but since he guessed that these people are going here for the two defunct kings, there will be killings. Even if it is for his own wife and children, Qi Yun should think more, it is better to be a little taboo.
There was an endless stream of people who came to see Qi Mansion, and there were also many posts asking Fang Shi Ye Jiao to go to various tea parties.
The meaning of it is self-evident. Because the three princes of the Qi family are all promising, it is rare for Ye Jiao to come back, and the Fang family is out of confinement. Naturally, I want to take this opportunity to get along with them more, and it is best to have some relationships. Good to help yourself.
Look at the Dong family, they have a good relationship with Ye Jiao, this pharmacy is going to be opened in the capital, and it is very popular.
Even if you can't get on Ye Jiao, it's very good to have a good relationship with the Fang family. Every tenant in Qi Zhaozhuangzi has spare money, and it is rare to see such an owner.
But Mrs. Fang didn't answer every tea party. Because Ye Jiao had been in the capital for a long time, she didn't know much about the situation at home. Mrs. Fang helped her decide which one to go and which one not to go. Quite a few, most of those who left were officials or acquaintances, and Mrs. Fang also followed Ye Jiao and took care of them.
After going back and forth, the relationship between the two sisters was much stronger, but they were closer than before Ye Jiao left home.
Soon, it will be New Year's Eve.
At the age of 30, many fewer people came to their homes to pay New Year's greetings. The Qi family simply closed the door and began to prepare for the New Year.
When it was time to eat dumplings in the evening, compared to last year, there was less Qi Ming on the table, but there were many more milk dolls.
The dragon and the phoenix ran after Xu Baoman, and the stone followed to protect him, while Yue'er stayed quietly in Fang's arms, staring at Wu Liuliu's eyes.
When the dumplings were served, several children were carried and seated in the smaller chairs specially reserved for them.
Originally, Ye Jiao liked to feed the children. After feeding this one, the other waited for you with her mouth open. But this time, Ye Jiao handed over the feeding to Mrs. Mo. .
Qi Yun couldn't help clenching Ye Jiao's hand under the table and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jiao tilted her head and whispered back in his ear: "I always eat dumplings... I'd better let Mama Mo come, I'm afraid of choking them."
Qi Yun also remembered what happened on New Year's Eve every year, so he stopped asking, but paid more and more attention to Ye Jiao.
When she saw Ye Jiao silently stuffing the copper plate into her purse again and again, Qi Yun couldn't help but think that her wife's luck is really rare in the world.
Thinking of going back and forth, Ye Jiao could make a coin again.
And this year, when the New Year's Eve, it was the adults who brought the children with them.
On the bed, Xu Bao jumped up and down, Ruyi giggled and jumped along, and Ning Bao was rarely alone, but also stood and played with his brother and sister.
When the children were playing around, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao naturally lost their minds to fall in love, and just protected them and passed the New Year like this.
After the fireworks were set off outside, the firecrackers crackled, the children couldn't stand it after watching the lively scene, and fell into a deep sleep. When they were all sent back to their respective rooms, the husband and wife were also exhausted.
Even if you are lying in one place, the atmosphere is just right, but you are powerless to do something.
Ye Jiao yawned, wearing only a tube top, her lotus arms stretched out to hug the man's waist, closed her eyes, first leaned on his side against his chest, and then she was afraid that her husband would not be able to sleep well, so she rubbed it again Moved to the man's neck, sticking very tightly.
Qi Yun couldn't help wrapping her arms around the woman's slender waist, and asked in a slow voice, "Is the girl cold?"
Ye Jiao was a little sleepy and her voice was vague: "I'm not cold, but I'm afraid you are."
Recently, Ye Jiao has a lot of things to do, and Qi Yun doesn't touch the ground, so they don't spend much time together.
The little ginseng can only be hugged tightly while he is sleeping, to make up for him, so as not to get sick.
Although Qi Yun didn't know that this was the only way to repair his body, it was always good to have Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, so he hugged Ye Jiao closer and whispered, "Sleep well, we'll be in a couple of days. Go to the city to see the lanterns."
Ye Jiao responded and smiled, thinking that she really wanted to go.
In fact, I liked this lantern when I first saw it, but after seeing it more, it was not as fresh as the beginning, but Ye Jiao liked to do something with Qi Yun very much.
Making dumplings, watching lanterns, she likes staying in one place even now.
After all, I like this person in my heart and I like it hard, even if I do anything I am happy.
Two days later, Qi Er's family entered the city in a carriage.
This time they went to bring three children, and there were more people to serve. They no longer used the small carriage of Qi's family, but the big one that Qi Yun made when he came home. some.
Ordinary carriages use one horse, but this one can only be pulled by two horses, plus the carriage is stable and expensive, and it is very eye-catching when you go out.
There are many people who know this driver, and when they see it, they know it is the second Qi family.
There is no need for the left and right Qi family to keep a low profile now. The golden plaque has already been in the limelight, and there is no need to hide and tuck in a carriage, so this trip is extraordinarily comfortable.
After entering the city, it was already nightfall, and the carriage slowly stopped outside Qi's pharmacy.
After Qi Yun got out of the car, he helped Ye Jiao down and said, "There are many people looking at the lanterns. The carriage will stop in the backyard of the pharmacy first, and we will walk in."
Ye Jiao responded, stood firm and then reached out to hug Ruyi in her arms, while Qi Yun was holding Ning Bao.
Originally, Xu Bao also wanted his parents to hug him, but he also knew that his younger brothers and sisters were small, and he couldn't rob them, so he didn't speak.
Ning Bao kissed him when he got out of the car, and asked Ruyi to hug Xu Bao, which made Xu Bao smile.
After walking into the crowd of people watching the lanterns, the three dolls couldn't remember what happened next to them. They just felt that their eyes were not enough.
Even if Xu Bao has seen it before, he still remembers it clearly, but it is the nature of a child, so he is happy to see these shiny ones. Xu Bao seems to be happier than anyone else at the moment.
He also guessed a few lantern riddles. Most of the lantern riddles are about quick wit. It is normal for a young child to not know much, so it is normal for him not to guess. Xu Bao is always happy, even if he does not guess, he is not angry. I was very happy. I had to carry the lantern that I won by myself, with my chin raised. I couldn't be more happy.
Ye Jiao smiled and said to Qi Yun with such a good temper, "Xu Bao is probably the least worrying child."
Smart, sensible, and most importantly, open-minded, such a temperament can always find a way to make him happy.
Qi Yun also nodded, looking at Xu Bao, his eyes were extraordinarily calm.
If you don't become a parent, you don't know the kindness of your parents. Now that you are a father, Qi Yun knows what it is like to be a father.
He doesn't ask the children to become dragons and phoenixes, but only hopes that they can live in peace and joy.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao's "Huh" sound.
He couldn't help but stop, followed Ye Jiao's line of sight, and then saw a familiar stall.
There are a lot of people around, and there is a big shelf at the back with a lot of large and small objects on it. The biggest one is a lantern, which is placed on the top. Because this year is the Year of the Sheep, the lantern is a cute sheep shape, and it looks cute. cute.
As for the stall owner, Qi Yun also had an impression. It was the stall owner Guan Pu they met when they first met Chu Chengyun a few years ago.
His Guanpu is different from others. He doesn't use copper coins to see whether he wins or loses. Instead, he puts a lot of small balls in a box, reaches out and touches them, and depends on the color to see what gifts he will get.
The last time I saw this stall was four years ago. That time, Chu Chengyun was very unlucky. He spent a lot of money but he didn't hit it once. On the contrary, Ye Jiao was very lucky. He gave Chu Chengyun the fan he got for comfort.
Qi Yun didn't know if Chu Chengyun still kept the fan, but this stall made Qi Yun feel very familiar.
But for the stall owner, the oncoming people made his back sweat.
It stands to reason that he has met countless people in the past four years, so he can't remember so clearly the guests he met.
But a person like Ye Jiao who almost "looted his stall" is really rare to see in a hundred years. It's enough to be unforgettable once you meet him. In addition, Ye Jiao is so beautiful, and when he smiles, his eyebrows are very curved. It's easy to remember, the stall owner recognized her at a glance.
Without waiting for Ye Jiao to speak, the stall owner said with a sad face, "This lady, can you spare me this year?"
Ye Jiao blinked, clasped Xiao Ruyi's hand tightly, and said with a smile on her face, "Just to play, I'll just give you the money."
The stall owner still had a bitter face and looked at Ye Jiao eagerly.
The little ginseng didn't want to embarrass him, and he knew that he scared others last time, and he thought that he would eat dumplings casually, so the fun of playing with luck was actually much less.
She didn't want to force others to be difficult, so she thought about it.
But at this time, Ruyi stretched out her hand, pointed directly at the lamb-shaped lantern hanging on it, and said in a milky voice, "Mother, I want it."
Ye Jiao looked up, looked down at Ruyi again, and said with a smile, "I want to win this, I can't buy it."
Ruyi looked at Ye Jiao, and then at the stall owner, with a soft voice: "Ruyi wants it."
The child was wearing a fur-collared cloak today, the satin was red, and a circle of white fur was around the collar, which made his little face even more cute and pretty.
Although the stall owner was afraid of Ye Jiao, he still liked seeing such a cute baby doll.
The little guy on the side also said to the stall owner: "This lady is lucky, she can't be lucky if she can't have children, it was just a coincidence last time."
After thinking about it, the stall owner also felt that he would not be so reckless, so he said to Ye Jiao: "Since the girl likes it, why don't Madam let the girl try to play?"
Ye Jiao was happy when she was playing by herself, but now that she was playing with the doll she was holding, she inevitably had to think a bit more.
This game is called a game, but it is actually a game of luck.
Ruyi is still young, and it's okay to play casually, but it's enough to stop it. It can't be like Chu Chengyun before, touching it all the time, and the one who suffers in the end is himself.
So Ye Jiao looked at Ruyi's eyes and gestured to her with a finger: "Mother told Ruyi to play, but Ruyi promised to touch one, if you can't touch it, forget it, okay?"
Although Ruyi is a little girl, she has always been decisive. She nodded immediately and said softly, "I know, just one."
Ye Jiao also felt that she couldn't just let Ruyi play. The Liu family told her to treat children with a bowl of water, so Ye Jiao looked at Xubao Ningbao again: "You also come and try with your sister. "
Xu Bao immediately responded and said to Ruyi with a smile: "If my brother gets a lantern, I will give it to Ruyi."
Although Ning Bao was not very interested, since he liked it, he also nodded.
Ruyi's eyes stared straight at the lantern, and she put her little hands in front of her, sighed, and rubbed her little hands together, looking extraordinarily decent.
Qi Yun didn't know who she learned this from, but she looked so cute, he couldn't help but reached out and touched Ruyi's little head, only then did the stall owner realize that the man next to him who was dressed in black and couldn't even see his face was actually with him. This lady is a family.
It's just that the stall owner didn't have the time to tell who they were, so he just shook the box in his hand and handed it over.
The first to go was Xu Bao, Mrs. Mo picked him up, and Xu Bao reached in and touched one.
black ball.
Xu Bao immediately raised his head and looked at the stall owner. The original apprehensive stall owner breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the lady's luck might not have been passed on to the children, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, young master, The black ball has no lottery."
This made Xu Bao a little disappointed, but not too disappointed, but looked at Ning Bao excitedly.
Xiao Ningbao disappointed Xu Bao. What the little meat hand touched was still a black ball. He didn't even look at it, he threw it back into the box, puffed out his cheeks, turned his head and buried his face in Qi Yun's arms.
It was rare for Qi Erlang to see his younger son angry, so he hurriedly reached out and patted his back to coax him, and his heart burst into laughter.
At this moment, Ye Jiao clasped Ruyi firmly with both hands and stretched forward to let her touch the ball.
In her heart, Ye Jiao had already started to think about how to comfort her little daughter. Although Ruyi was lively and decisive, as long as she promised not to touch it again, she would definitely recognize it, but after all, the child was young, Always be comforted.
Ruyi sighed again, and clenched her fist to encourage herself, and then put her little hand into the box.
She was extremely cautious, there was only one chance, and Xiao Ruyi valued it very much.
Because children have small hands, even a small ball cannot be fully grasped, and the color can already be seen when the hand is drawn out.
Because Qi Yun happened to be blocked by Ruyi's fur collar, he couldn't see what she was touching.
Ye Jiao looked down, a little surprised in her eyes.
Ruyi was holding the ball tightly, and looked at the stall owner with big eyes.
Then, I heard the voice of the stall owner sucking in a breath of cold air, and then I saw his mustache drooping down, and there was a bit of self-defeating in his voice: "Red ball... One red ball, one golden goat lantern."
The young man let out a "huh" in shock, and then the stall owner glared at him.
Who says good luck isn't hereditary? fraud!
The author has something to say: The Liu family who made up a big play: Miss Meng Wu is really a good woman
Qi's father, who also made up a big drama: Yes, yes, it's not easy, it's not easy
Qi Ming: ... ? ?
Ruyi: I want lanterns, I have lanterns
Ye Jiao: Ruyi is awesome
Chu Chengyun: . . . all watching what I do!
