Qi Yun was wiping his hands, and when he heard the words, he moved for a while, let him sit down, and his voice was calm: "Which Cai family, make it clearer."
Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Qi Ming, but Qi Ming was not polite. The same is the Cai family who owns a wine shop, and the one who pushed me down the mountain was Cai Twelve Lang from his family, I was a classmate with him, and I went home with my arms hanging, and he was the first to report to the master."
When Qi Yun heard it, he only felt that there should not be too many things in this world that could not be written down by coincidence.
Although he and the Cai family did not face each other head-on, they were seen through by the Qi family just because they picked things up before, and the Qi family wine shop also squeezed out a lot of the Cai family's business, even if this feud was forged.
Although the business field has always been about ability, there is no shortage of masters in this world who want to use sideways to run on others.
Whether Cai Twelve Lang was jealous of Qi Ming or retaliated because of family affairs, the reason is not important.
What Qi Yun knew was that it was convenient to combine two things into one now.
Although Qi Ming didn't get involved in the family's affairs, he more or less knew that Qi Yun and the Cai family were not the same.
This is very understandable. They are all in the same town. You sell wine and I also sell wine. There are so many people who come to buy it. If more people buy from you, there will naturally be fewer people who sell to me. Then there are two shops. friction.
Only between peers, there is the deepest hatred.
Therefore, Qi Ming came to tell Qi Yun early, not only to inform him, but also to let Qi Yun give him an idea.
Ye Jiao didn't speak for a while, she was holding the egg with the tip of her chopsticks, she couldn't help looking at Qi Yun when she heard this, her eyes were a little surprised.
Qi Yun had always been frank with her. Seeing Ye Jiao like this, she dispelled her indifference, eased her brows, and said softly, "What does Jiao Niang want to say?"
I thought Ye Jiao was also surprised that it was done by the same family. Who knows, the focus of Little Ginseng is: "Twelve Lang? Does his family actually have twelve children? It's a lot."
Qi Ming: …
Qi Yun: …
However, Qi Erlang responded quickly. He was probably already familiar with Ye Jiao's different focus, and quickly said with a smile: "Ordinary people have clans, and it's not new to be ranked 12 in the big ranking."
Qi Ming added: "But the Cai family doesn't have a clan ranking, just married three more concubines, and there will be more children. But what if there are more children? Only two or three survived, and the back house is in chaos. , the family is reluctant to talk about the future."
However, Qi Ming soon saw Qi Yun's eyes, and immediately stopped talking.
Qi Yun also knew that Qi Ming was telling the truth, but sometimes the truth was not so pleasant.
It is not easy to take concubines these days. In addition to the royal family, if it is a family of powerful people, the number of concubines will be no more than nine. If it is an ordinary person, if you want to take concubines, you have to buy them with money, ranging from thirty-two to several hundred. Two, ordinary people simply cannot afford this expense.
The Cai family bought a concubine and gave birth to many children, but the battle over the back house never ceased.
According to the laws of the dynasty, concubines had no status, and there were not a few people who were bought and sold, but in order to fight for one's life, they became black-eyed chickens.
The back house was restless, and the man was an incapable man. Of the dozen or so children who had tossed around, only three survived.
Qi Yun disdainfully said about those quarrels in the back house, and he also didn't want Ye Jiao to know about it.
It's not that I feel sorry for the Cai family, but I'm afraid that saying these things too clearly will scare their little girl.
The Qi family's house is harmonious, and Ye Jiao is a good girl who knows how to be content.
However, Qi Yun still added: "No ordinary family would just marry a concubine and take a small child. Our family is an ordinary family."
Qi Ming also knew that he might have said something wrong just now, so he immediately followed up: "Yes, and none of the three generations of our Qi family have ever married a second wife, life has always been peaceful, sister-in-law, don't think too much. "
Ye Jiao looked at the two brothers. In fact, she didn't think much about it. She didn't like to find people who were uncomfortable for her. They were talking about other people's affairs, so it had nothing to do with herself. Put it on your head.
But since they made it clear, Ye Jiao also laughed and tore a piece of hemp ball to Qi Yun's mouth, and said, "Ordinary people are fine."
Qi Yun also bent the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth to eat, and then took a chopstick and bamboo shoots for his wife, and said gently: "Yes, it is enough for me to have a beautiful girl in my life."
Qi Ming, who was watching a scene of the love of his second brother and second sister-in-law out of thin air, pouted, thinking to himself, A-Niang said before that when he can pass the test, he will show him his wife.
This is also Liu's thoughtful consideration. Qi Ming can only see the right family when he has obtained the status of an evangelist. Moreover, if he can be elected, he will be able to become an official in the future. The wife of an official is naturally different from ordinary people. That's right, so he didn't marry Qi Ming early.
In the past, Qi Ming never cared about these things, and only read the books of sages.
But now, looking at the loving couple in front of him, Qi Ming suddenly wanted someone to feed him the hemp balls.
The Qi family Saburo made up his mind in his heart that he must study hard, take scientific exams well, and marrying a wife is a beautiful thing in the world!
Since he was determined to look good on the Cai family, and the second brother supported him, Qi Ming delayed his return to school and stayed at the Qi family to discuss countermeasures with his second brother.
Ye Jiao didn't get involved too much, she was more willing to take care of her own medicinal herbs.
Especially the stone sprout grass, there are already signs of results, Ye Jiao did not dare to slack off, and carried it out to bask in the sun every day.
Qi Yun made fun of her when she saw it a lot. She had seen people walking birds on ladders, and dogs on a leash. Her own wife was different, walking flowers with pots in her arms.
And Liu Shi also took advantage of the relaxed days after the Chinese New Year to teach Ye Jiao some games. Most of them would play together when they were bored in the back house. Today, they brought Ye Jiao and Fang Shi to play pot throwing together.
The things used in this pot are simple, a copper pot with a thin neck and two ears, a few slender wooden arrows with a blunt head and a blunt tail, put some red beans in the pot, and the wooden arrows will sway when they are thrown, and then it will be more convenient than whoever throws in. Yes.
Liu used to like these games when he was in the boudoir, but after that, he seldom touched it when there were many things in the house.
Now that she is playing again, her accuracy is not less than that of the past.
Ye Jiao and Fang Shi were still a little rusty, but fortunately, it was just entertainment, and there was no need to force a winner or loser, it was fun to talk and laugh.
After a few throws, Mrs Liu sat back, wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "You can't do it when you're older. Before, you wouldn't feel tired after throwing a dozen or so, but now it's just three or five and you're a little out of breath. ."
Hearing this, Mrs. Fang immediately stopped the movement of her hands, and went to pour tea for Mrs. Liu, with a smile on her round face: "Mother is just a few wooden arrows, you can wear them into the ears of the pot, Jiao Niang and I have voted for more than 30 shots together, and except for the two that got in by mistake, the rest were thrown out."
Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Fang was trying to make her happy, but it was good for her daughter-in-law to have this heart, and Mrs. Liu also had a smile on her face.
Ye Jiao wasn't as good at saying nice things as Fang's, but the little ginseng was real, so she threw Muya away first, went to wash her hands, then went back to the table and put the food box she brought on the table.
Taking out the plate inside, he said, "I used to go to my mother's place to eat snacks. Today, Erlang came back early and brought me Feng Hezhai's sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is still hot."
Liu Shi looked at Ye Jiao and smiled, not only because Ye Jiao remembered herself, but also because Qi Yun could bring something back to Ye Jiao, which showed that the couple had a harmonious relationship.
As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu is not like some older women who take pleasure in discussing her daughter-in-law. On the contrary, Mrs. Liu always treats her daughter-in-law very well.
In her opinion, it is their wives and children who will be with their sons in the future. Treating Fang Shi and Ye Jiao well is actually treating their sons well.
What Liu family is most happy to see is the tranquility of the house, and now watching Qi Yun and Ye Jiaofu singing is enough to make Liu family happy.
Seeing that Mr. Liu took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Mrs. Fang and Ye Jiao reached out to get it.
Ye Jiao squeezed it gently, for fear of breaking the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. When she put it in her mouth, the sweet taste made the little ginseng's eyes narrow.
And Liu Shi asked: "After the new year, it hasn't really warmed up outside. I know that Erlang's shop is busy, but you still have to remind him to pay more attention, Jiao Niang.
Ye Jiao responded with a cute smile: "It just so happens that Xianggong will come back earlier these days, and I'll bring it to him if my mother says it."
Fang Shi heard the words and said: "Dalang Zhuangzi has nothing to do recently, and he came back early, why not find a time for the family to get together?"
Liu Shi nodded when he heard the words, with a smile on his face.
Ye Jiao wrote it down, thinking about going back and telling her husband.
And Qi Yun, who was being talked about by Ye Jiao, was in Qi Ming's yard at the moment, and it happened that Qi Zhao was also walking towards this side.
It was a coincidence that the eldest son of the Qi family came back early today. He thought that it was still early, so he wanted to call the third brother out to walk around. Although Qi Ming was good at reading, he had to exercise his body to stay healthy. He was always bored in the room. Not a problem.
But as soon as he entered Qi Ming's courtyard, Qi Zhao heard Qi Yun's voice: "I have almost arranged things. You should know what to say and do when you go back to the academy, so don't be afraid."
"Second brother, I have an opinion about the academy, but this Cai family, you are going to..."
"There will be no Cai family in the town in the future."
Qi Zhao heard the words and strode in: "Erlang, Saburo, what are you two talking about?"
Qi Yun and Qi Ming did not expect Qi Zhao to come. The three brothers greeted each other, and Qi Zhao asked them to tell the truth.
In this family, although the three brothers are in charge of their own affairs, Qi Zhao, as the eldest brother, usually takes care of the two younger brothers, and Qi Zhao and Qi Ming will not deliberately hide the things he asks.
They didn't talk about it at first, because the two knew that Qi Zhao's temper was the most upright, upright and pure, and he didn't like to provoke trouble.
But now that the question is over, Qi Ming looked at Qi Yun eagerly, and Qi Erlang simply explained everything.
After Qi Zhao heard this, his brows were furrowed tightly: "Third brother really fell down the hill? Why didn't you make it clear earlier."
Qi Ming hurriedly said: "I said earlier that I was afraid that my eldest brother and my parents would worry about me, and I didn't want my eldest brother to..."
"Cough cough." Qi Yun coughed lightly, and a pair of cold eyes glanced at him silently.
Qi Ming immediately bowed his head obediently, put away all explanations, and looked extraordinarily smooth: "Brother, I know I'm wrong."
Qi Zhao waved his hand: "Put aside the things that you admit to your mistakes, Saburo, are you all right now?"
Qi Ming showed him his intact arm: "It's alright, don't worry, big brother."
After that, Qi Zhao no longer looked at him, but looked at Qi Yun: "What are you going to do with the Cai family?"
Anyway, everything was said, so Qi Yun answered directly: "Do it all at once."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming's heart was broken!
His eldest brother has a straightforward temper. If he knows about these things, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.
Who knows, Qi Zhao actually nodded his head directly: "Okay, Erlang Saburo, if there is anything you can ask the eldest brother to help, just say it."
Qi Yun was stunned when he heard the words, and Qi Ming looked at Qi Zhao in surprise: "Brother, you... don't you scold us?"
"What are you doing?" Qi Zhao stretched out his hand and rubbed Qi Ming's head, his face was a little serious, "In ordinary things, being kind to others is the best result, but family is the bottom line. Now they are bullying you, if I even If your family can't protect you well, how can you be human?"
