Ye Jiao was looking forward to this part of the meal, but she didn't expect that there were still many things before the meal.

Looking at the people sitting in the room, one by one serving tea and recognizing each person is a pain in the waist of the little ginseng essence.

Fortunately, the Qi family has a simple population and did not take too long.

Besides Qi Yun's parents, Qi Yun also has one brother and one younger brother.

Dalang Qi Zhao has a wife Fang Shi, and Saburo Qi next is still studying when he was young, so he doesn't have many relatives.

Qi Yun's explanation is: "My ancestors were originally in the north, but later moved here, and there are not many clansmen."

This also means that the Qi family is unlikely to borrow the power of the clan, and everything depends on her own efforts, but Ye Jiao doesn't care at all.

How many times can I kneel less? What's the use of having so many relatives...

Rubbing her knees secretly, Ye Jiao thought, it's not easy being a human being. From yesterday to today, she felt that what she did the most was to get up, get up and kneel down.

However, when recognizing someone, Ye Jiao took time to glance at her cheap husband.

Qi Yun didn't look at her, but stood silently by the side, looking straight ahead with no expression on his face.

This is Qi Yun's normal state. He doesn't like to talk or laugh. His face was pale. When he stood there with such a straight face, if he wasn't still breathing, he would have doubted whether this was a living people.

And the gentle-looking Pairo who fed himself water yesterday.

When it was time to eat, only Qi Yun's mother Liu Shi and the young couple were left.

Ye Jiao looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes were sparkling, and the little depression she had just accumulated from kneeling and kneeling was swept away with the aroma of the food.

But when she wanted to reach out, Qi Yun gently pulled the woman's hand, squeezed it and released it, and said in a low voice, "You can eat only when your mother moves the chopsticks."

Although the Qi family is not a big family, and the rules are not strict, but the etiquette they deserve is still there.

Qi Yun didn't dislike Ye Jiao's bad manners, and threw all the pots to the Ye family.

If you don't give food or drink, it's not good to teach the rules. If you change her family, she doesn't know how much she will suffer.

People are black.

Fortunately, Jiao Niang met her, and she will teach her slowly in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun's face darkened, he really didn't know how long he could protect her.

Ye Jiao was greedy, but she was very obedient. The little ginseng essence, who worked hard to learn to be a man, sat up obediently, and followed Qi Yun's appearance and whispered to him, "It's very comfortable, you can squeeze more."

Qi Yun was still a little depressed at first, but now he was slightly taken aback when he heard Ye Jiao's words: "What are you pinching?"

Ye Jiao shook her hand and said in a soft voice, "I was tired from holding the tea cup just now. You can squeeze it, just like that." After speaking, she put her hand into the man's palm again.

This is half true.

It was indeed a bit sour when serving tea, but Ye Jiao wanted to hold hands with this person more, so as to make up for him.

Qi Yun didn't ask any more questions, and put her fingertips together again, pinching her hand gently, with a very serious expression.

Ye Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

It's really comfortable, ah, it's nice to be married.

Seeing them whispering, Liu Shi showed a little satisfaction on his face.

In fact, Ye Jiao's family and Qi's family are definitely not a match, but Liu's never wanted a perfect daughter-in-law, she just wanted to find a way to extend the life of her son Chongxi.

Ye Er's sister-in-law said that Ye Jiao was happy, and Liu Shi naturally had no doubts.

But Qi Yun was unhappy and always said that he could not delay others. Mrs. Liu tossed and turned for a while last night, for fear that Qi Yun would make trouble or get angry, but she heard people say that the two of them slept peacefully. Night.

Although the time for serving tea in the morning was delayed, seeing Qi Yun's face that was much better than usual, Liu Shi saw it in his eyes and was delighted in his heart.

Even if the in-laws of the Ye family are not something to rely on, as long as the son is well, it is enough for the Liu family.

She was not going to set any rules for this daughter-in-law. When she moved the chopsticks, Ye Jiao immediately looked at Qi Yun excitedly. Seeing Qi Yun nodded, she picked up the chopsticks and played with it for herself. Soon A piece of meat was easily picked up.

Thanks for the original memory, otherwise Ye Jiao could really reach out and grab it.

But the next second, she saw Qi Yun put a chopstick and dish into the bowl.

"Does it hurt from pinching?" Qi Yun felt that Ye Jiao's chopsticks were jerky because he had just pushed harder.

Ye Jiao immediately shook her head, her eyes were bright, and she smiled at Qi Yun: "It doesn't hurt."

In exchange, Qi Yun's face was distressed, "I can't hold the chopsticks that are obviously painful, but I don't want to say it hurts."

Ye Jiao didn't quite understand what Qi Yun was thinking, but Ye Jiao refused to accept Qi Yun's feeding behavior.

Ye Jiao didn't know the names of these dishes, but she knew that this one was delicious, that one was delicious, all of them were delicious!

Much better than yesterday's dim sum!

It's great to be married!

Probably because Ye Jiao ate too fragrant, Qi Yun also ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, making Liu's face smile.

After the two left, Mrs. Liu stood up, knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva statue, and prayed devoutly to her second son.

Qi Yun went back to the room with Ye Jiao, probably because he ate more than usual just now, Qi Yun felt a little overwhelmed, so he took Ye Jiao to the yard for a couple more turns, and introduced her to the Qi family by the way.

"Here is the yard of my parents, there is the elder brother and elder sister-in-law, the third younger brother is behind, and further north is the place where the tenants live." Qi Yun walked slowly, and his voice was also slow, "Usually apart from dinner, we The three brothers each eat their own way."

Ye Jiao blinked: "Why?"

Qi Yun looked at her, lowered his eyes and said, "Father and eldest brother are going to Zhuangzi, and the third brother is going to study, each has his own business to do." Having said that, Qi Yun looked away, "I will also I can help with the ledger at home, and nothing else can be done.”

Having said that, Qi Yun coughed a few times in a low voice, and the tenderness that was still there just now disappeared without a trace.

Today, the imperial court does not emphasize agriculture and suppress business as it did in the previous dynasty. Although the status of merchants is still inferior to that of scholars, the imperial court has abolished all kinds of imprisonment for merchants, and the children of merchants can still take the imperial examinations. There are even merchants who donate money to officials. This allows many people with spare money to go to sea to do business.

The Qi family has a wine shop and a pharmacy, and they usually ask people to look after them. As the owner, the Qi family just checks and collects accounts.

Qi Yun couldn't go to Zhuangzi because he was not in good health, and because he was not healthy, he couldn't stand the heavy imperial examinations. Even if he read a lot of books, he could stay at home and help look at the account books in the end.

If it was before, Qi Yun didn't think there was anything, and there was no hope for dying people. Haven't lived a few years or so.

But now, with a little lady in her hand who counts on him for everything, Qi Yun feels useless.

At this moment, Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao's surprised voice: "Xianggong, you can not only read and hyphenate, but also settle accounts?"

Qi Yun looked up at her and didn't quite understand where Ye Jiao's emotion came from, but she replied, "Yeah."

Ye Jiao blinked her eyes, suddenly took Qi Yun's arm, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiang is really amazing."

This sentence made Qi Yun a little dumbfounded: "What's so powerful?"

Ye Jiao thought about it for a while: "I can't know what Xianggong can do, but Xianggong is amazing."

Qi Yun could hear the sincerity in this sentence. Even though Qi Yun thought that Ye Jiao had met few people and had a simple mind, this pure compliment still made his pale face show a slight smile.

It was probably in front of people just now, Qi Yun had been expressionless, but now Ye Jiao was stunned when she suddenly laughed.

He is so handsome, especially when he smiles.

Qi Yun didn't pay attention to Ye Jiao's gaze, and walked up slowly again, with a gentle tone: "It's better for people to recognize some characters. I have nothing to do for the past few days. Let me teach you how to recognize characters."

Ye Jiao nodded immediately, and clenched Qi Yun's fingertips: "Okay, I'll learn things quickly."

Qi Yun glanced at her: "Oh, I see."

Ye Jiao tilted her head, why did she feel that this person had disbelief written all over her face

Just then, they turned to a garden in the backyard.

The Qi family is the wealthiest family in the surrounding villages and towns. Most of the family gardens are used to grow flowers and grass, but there are also places to raise chickens and ducks.

Normally Qi Yun would not come here. He came here today talking and talking, and he was not ready to go in.

But Ye Jiao pointed to the other side with sharp eyes: "Ah, it's it."

Qi Yun followed Ye Jiao's eyes and saw only a group of chickens roaming around. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

Ye Jiao's tone was crisp: "It's the big rooster from yesterday. The hair on its tail is very long and it's beautiful."

Qi Yun looked over, and sure enough, he saw a big rooster with an exceptionally beautiful tail feathers.

Feeling the sound, it turned its head, and when it saw them, it just raised its head, and then turned its head to face them with its buttocks, a look of contempt.

Qi Yun: ... huh.

He didn't forget that yesterday, his sweet lady, almost worshipped this chicken!

Qi Yun immediately changed his route and stepped into the garden.

Xiao Su, who was supposed to be feeding the chickens in the garden, hid for a while, kicked herself with a shuttlecock, and noticed them when she heard the movement. The little girl in her early ten years was terrified, especially When he saw Qi Yun, he couldn't wait to turn around and run away.

But there was no iron beside her to strengthen her courage at this moment, Xiao Su could only stand there in a daze, the shuttlecock fell to the ground, she only had time to pick up the bowl containing the chicken food, poked it in place, and didn't dare to move.

Qi Yun glanced at her and said lightly, "Do your business, leave us alone."

"I know the second young master." Xiao Su lowered her head hard, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Ye Jiao walked to the fence and looked in, feeling proud.

When she was a little ginseng before, she spent a lot of time avoiding those birds and beasts, but now she doesn't have to hide, but instead wants them to avoid her.

Ye Jiao became more daring, so she became more playful. She squeezed some chicken food from Xiao Su's hand and carefully sprinkled it in.

Seeing this, Qi Yun went over to hold her hand and wiped her hands with a handkerchief. His voice was low but gentle: "Don't grab these casually, and carefully get your hands dirty."

Ye Jiao smiled and asked him to wipe her hands, but she looked at Xiao Su: "How old is this big cock?"

Although Xiao Su is afraid of Qi Yun, she is not afraid of this beautiful bride who is always smiling.

Although he still didn't dare to look up, his voice no longer trembled: "Xiao Hei was raised last year and is one year old."

Ye Jiao was a little surprised: "Did you even give it a name?"

Xiaosu's face flushed, but she didn't speak, she just had the innocence of a child.

Qi Yun also looked at the big rooster with beautiful tail feathers, and suddenly asked Ye Jiao, "Jiao Niang, do you want to eat chicken?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Su shuddered with fright. She subconsciously felt that this taciturn and scary Second Young Master wanted to eat her Xiao Hei!

Ye Jiao didn't feel anything wrong, she touched her stomach: "I was full just now, but I don't want to eat now."

Qi Yun nodded, looked at the shuttlecock that Xiaosu had dropped on the ground, and said lightly, "Is it fun?"

Xiao Su shuddered again, wanting to say it was fun, but she was being lazy and was caught, nodding her head, not shaking her head.

Qi Yun didn't want to pursue anything, and he should go back to drink the medicine when he saw the time. He didn't look at Xiao Su, he held Ye Jiao's hand, and his eyebrows had delicate tenderness: "Go back."

"Okay." Ye Jiao looked back and was about to leave with him.

But when he was out of the garden, Qi Yun seemed to remember something, turned his head to Xiao Su and said lightly: "Wait a minute to tie a shuttlecock and send it over," and then he tilted his head towards Ye Jiao, "You can play for a while. Play."

Ye Jiao couldn't kick the shuttlecock, but she was willing to try anything, and immediately agreed with a smile.

Qi Yun also raised the corners of his mouth and glanced in one direction: "To use its hair, you need the few on the tail."

Ye Jiao didn't see what Qi Yun was talking about, so she was dragged away by Qi Yun.

Xiao Su looked at her little black and wanted to cry without tears.

That night, a beautiful black feather shuttlecock was delivered to Ye Jiao, and Qi Yun also gave up the idea of drinking chicken soup.

It was a good night's sleep, and in a blink of an eye, the day Ye Jiao returned home.

The author has something to say: Xiao Hei: No hair, or death!

Qi Yun: I want to drink chicken soup...

Xiao Hei: Give it to you! Take it away! QVQ
