When the back hall of the Qi family was full of excitement, the three brothers of the Qi family did not walk in the front hall, but went for a stroll in the garden at the back.
Now it's a good time for winter to come to spring. Although I still feel the chill in the morning and evening, when the sun shines at noon, I feel warm on my body.
Seeing that the weather was fine, and that Qi Yun was able to move around freely now, Da Lang Qi Zhao looked at the banquet and walked around the yard with his two younger brothers, thinking that he would go back later.
After coming out of the front hall, Qi Ming seemed much more relaxed.
In fact, for the Qi family Saburo, the title of the county test is not a title that can be shown off.
In the academy, he saw and heard a lot, and in this small three yuan, there were a lot of county examination cases.
The higher the level, the more difficult it is, and the county test can be regarded as a threshold.
Although it is a happy event for him to get the first title at a young age, for Qi Ming, his scientific research journey is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
It was obviously not Qi Ming's intention to celebrate for the sake of a threshold test.
However, he saw that his parents paid special attention to this achievement, and Qi Ming could also see that most of the people who came did not come to him, but to have a chance to visit and have a relationship with his own family. The point is His father and two older brothers, he didn't say anything, and let his parents celebrate.
But as soon as the banquet started, everyone who came praised him so much, but most of them were merchants. These praise words were called smooth, a set of words, and they only described Qi Ming as like It was as if Wenqu had descended to the earth, and Qi Ming blushed when he praised it.
Now that he has hid himself cleanly, Qi Ming is relieved.
And his series of changes were seen by the two older brothers.
Qi Zhao has a straightforward temperament, but he has been with his younger brother for so many years and has some understanding of Saburo's temper.
Just looking at Qi Ming, his face was blushing, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he took them out for a walk.
Seeing Qi Ming looking refreshed now, Qi Zhao couldn't help but cast a glance at Qi Yun.
Qi Yun nodded cooperatively, but did not smile.
Several people tacitly did not mention the results of Saburo's county examination this time, but Qi Zhao took the lead: "Now the sky is getting warmer, and in March, can we go out to see flowers together?"
Although the Qi family is a wealthy family, but ordinary people will go out for an outing in the spring, but the Qi family with a big family has never had such a blessing.
In previous years, either because Qi Yun was in poor health, or because he took care of Qi Ming's studies and did not return, he could not make the trip.
Now that Qi Zhao's old things are brought up again, he is also very happy.
The second brother's health has improved a lot, and the third brother has also made achievements in his studies. As the eldest brother, he has been beautiful in his heart since the Chinese New Year, thinking that this year is the best time to go out and have fun.
Qi Ming opened his mouth, but didn't speak, but Qi Yun understood: "I'm afraid the plan for the outing will be delayed, the third brother's next government test should be in April, and after a while, he will go to the new school first. go to school."
Qi Ming nodded again and again with a pity on his face.
Qi Zhao was in a good mood: "Sorry Saburo, I didn't write down your exam time, but when you finish the exam, it will be in May, which is also a good time."
Qi Ming also showed a smile and readily agreed.
Qi Yun talked about his own business: "Brother, the wine shop is booming right now, but if you want to drive into the city, you may not be able to supply the wine, so I don't know if you can connect with the eldest brother's Zhuangzi. , to make wine with the food we grow at home?"
As soon as this suggestion came out, Qi Zhao knew that the second brother had promised him a benefit.
Except for some of the food on Zhuangzi to be handed over to the imperial court, the rest are hoarded or sold out.
There's a lot of money in it, but not much.
But if it can be linked with winemaking, even if it is just to provide raw materials, for Zhuangzi, the profit will double.
Qi Zhao had never thought of this before, even if he knew the inside story, he never mentioned it, just because he didn't want to interfere in his second brother's business, and he didn't want his daughter-in-law to know.
He knows Fang Shi's temper best. It is easy to talk without being stained with money, but when it gets in touch with money, his head will get hot, and his words and actions will be very different from normal.
In the past, Qi Zhaoneng looked after the trivial matters, and Fang Shi sometimes was willful and self-willed, but he still listened to him.
But if she knew the advantages of the second brother's business, I'm afraid her head would get hot again.
But now Qi Yun took the initiative to mention it, presumably because there was already a charter, Qi Zhao only asked: "Can I go to the account?" Everything is on the table, and it will save possible future disputes.
Qi Yun curled the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Of course."
So, the two brothers looked at each other and had an idea for each other.
And although Qi Ming didn't understand the business affairs, he still wanted to make some contribution to his brothers. He rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, second brother, little brother has no great skills, just has an idea."
"Sanlang, let's talk." Qi Zhao has always been fond of Qi Ming, and when he saw his little brother, his smile softened.
Qi Ming touched his face, sorted out his language, and said, "Nowadays, in order to sell wine and wine, in addition to the taste and aroma, it also needs a source. Before, our family's Yuye wine sold well because of The quality is good, but the provenance is not there.”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun raised his eyebrows.
For Qi Erlang, business is a matter of mutual benefit, and he didn't think about it. Now, after Qi Ming mentioned it, Qi Yun was very smart. Saburo was just the beginning, and Qi Yun thought of the result: "Looks like it's time to make up a story for our wine."
Qi Ming also meant this, and rolled his eyes: "There are hundreds of poems by Li Taibai fighting wine in ancient times, why don't you find one from Taibai's poems?"
Qi Yun felt that this idea was a good idea, and kept it in his heart, and said in his mouth: "When the time comes, I will invite someone with good writing skills to nominate a name, and it will be a matter of course."
As soon as he said the words, Qi Ming blushed.
He has read a lot of books, and his knowledge is not low. The articles he wrote are also in the splendid flower group. The master of the academy often said that even if the articles he wrote were sent to the palace examination, it would not be bad.
It's just this handwriting that I really can't get it out.
Before Qi Yun told him that he had practiced, he also insisted on writing hundreds of words every day, but he couldn't really say progress.
But when it comes to people who are good at writing, Qi Ming still has someone to choose: "Second brother, among the people I know, San Gongzi has the best calligraphy. I once discussed poems with him, and San Gongzi is a person in my chest. It would be the best if you can get his calligraphy treasures when you look at Jinxiu and write dragons and snakes."
Qi Zhao didn't know anything about what these literati have done, and he didn't express any opinion. He just heard Qi Ming talking about the third son and was a little curious: "Who is that?"
Hearing this, Qi Ming smiled and said, "It's a righteous brother who once saved my life, the owner of the strong man I mentioned to you last time."
Righteous brother
This word made Qi Yun stunned for a moment: "Sanlang, you didn't say that you and the three young masters worshipped brothers."
Qi Ming scratched his head: "It's also a recent matter. The place for the county test is not far from the pharmacy of the third son's house. After the test, I was a little empty. Thanks to his care, I could go to his house to rest for a while and recover my spirit. He talked about the topic of the county exam, and my opinions coincided with his, and we called him brothers on the spur of the moment, and never did anything."
Among the ordinary literati, many call each other a foolish brother and a worthy brother, but there are not many who really get married.
After all, literati are less than literati, and the future prospects of these imperial examination students are often heaven and earth.
Once the title of the gold list is to fly and rise, if the name falls to Sunshan, no one knows it, and if it is a righteousness, it is a bit risky.
But what Qi Yun was worried about was not these, but the identity of the third son.
Up to now, my younger brother doesn't even know anyone's family name, so he foolishly worships my elder brother, how can this be good...
Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw someone running into the garden.
It was Mrs. Liu who came. Mrs. Liu looked around in the front hall. Knowing that the three brothers were at the back, she ran to the back again. Everyone's yard was turned around, and then they came to the garden to look for someone.
Mrs. Liu was not young anymore, she turned back and forth and felt anxious, and now she was sweating on her forehead and dizzy before her eyes. When she saw them, she breathed a sigh of relief. ... but a few young masters have been found. Huh... Second Young Master, Second Young Master, hurry up and take a look in the hall."
When Qi Yun heard her name calling for him, he immediately became nervous: "Mom Liu, why are you calling me? But what happened to Jiao Niang?"
Madam Liu couldn't breathe, she heard the words and nodded again and again: "Yes, a big event, a big happy event..."
But Qi Yun couldn't wait to hear her finish. He didn't even hear the word "happy event". He couldn't care to say goodbye to Qi Yun and Qi Ming. His face changed drastically, and he strode away to the main room.
Madam Liu knew that he had misunderstood, and wanted to chase after him to explain.
But Qi Yun's body is much better now, and he is nervous about his wife, so he started to run, and in the end, he hurried into the main room almost all the way.
As soon as I entered, I didn't see any nervousness inside, but it was peaceful and beautiful.
Mrs Dong pulled Meng Shi and Ye Jiao to cry and laugh, while Ye Jiao had a soft attitude. One of her hands was dragged by Mrs Dong, and the other hand held chopsticks and stuffed something into her mouth to eat. Impressed without delay.
Liu Shi took Fang Shi to get up, and the smile on his face was particularly sincere in response to the auspicious words said by these ladies.
And the pair of Zhang's mother-in-law, who had come to do something but their face was swollen, had long since stolen it, for fear of making another joke.
Li Langzhong was standing aside with a smile, and Xiao Su was in front of him. He said something to Xiao Su one by one. Xiao Su nodded when he heard a sentence, indicating that he remembered it, and listened very attentively.
When Qi Yun entered the door, Xiao Su had sharp eyes. After seeing it, she bowed to Li Langzhong first, and then trotted over and said, "Second Young Master, you are here, Second Young Master is inside."
Tie Zi knew that it was not a bad thing when he saw her like this, but Tie Zi couldn't think of what it was for.
After all, he is a half-sized boy, and he doesn't think much about it.
If it was normal, Qi Yun would definitely be able to see Xiao Su's joy at the moment at a glance, but now he is full of worries about his daughter, he doesn't even look at Xiao Su, and he doesn't even see anyone else. nothingness.
Quickly walking over, Qi Yun stood behind Ye Jiao, and when she saw him coming, Mrs. Meng tugged at Mrs. Dong. The two smiled at each other, stood up and sat next to them, making room for them.
Ye Jiao was ignorant, feeling that Dong's hand was loosened, so she was ready to serve the tea cup.
And when she was hugged from behind, Ye Jiao was stuffing a mouthful of shrimp cakes, her cheeks were bulging, thinking that shrimp cakes were delicious, who knew she would be hugged the next moment .
Ye Jiao is very familiar with Qi Yun, the temperature of this person's embrace, the rhythm of this person's breathing, and the smell of herbs on this person.
Before looking back, I knew it was my husband, but the little ginseng could feel the trembling in his hands, and he could hear Qi Yun's voice: "Li Langzhong, what are you doing with your poke? What happened to Jiao Niang!"
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at them.
Then, unconsciously, he covered his lips and smiled.
The handsome appearance of Erlang Qi's family has been spread since the last time the drugstore opened. He has swept away his previous reputation for being fierce and evil, and now he has long since become a handsome man in everyone's mouth.
Looking at it now, the rumors are indeed true.
But more true than the rumors, it is the closeness of their husband and wife.
Look at this nervousness, I really want to envy others.
The female relatives present all thought about their own husbands, and thought that they should tell them well when they go back, let them learn from Qi Erlang, and learn less from the fallen Cai family. A small one came in, and in the end the family business was ruined.
Liu Shi could see at a glance that Qi Yun still didn't know what was going on, so she covered her smile, got up and said to Qi Yun, "You can be gentle, now Jiao Niang is not more than usual, she is a double body person. , don't scare her all the time, let Jiao Niang eat this bite before it's too late."
Ye Jiao was leaning against Qi Yun's arms, looking at Liu Shi eagerly, and then at the half-bitten shrimp cake she was particularly reluctant to give up.
Qi Yun grasped the point, stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Shi, and then at Ye Jiao, who was being held by him: "Double bodies? Jiao Niang, you, have you?"
Li Langzhong also said at the right time: "Congratulations to the second young master, the second young grandmother is a happy pulse. It will be more than two months."
Ye Jiao finally swallowed what was in her mouth, and nodded when she heard the words, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
I am different from the Dong family. The Dong family has been injured before, and it is difficult to have a child. Now it is naturally inexplicable to have a child.
But Ye Jiao knew that she had always been healthy, and it was not unusual to have a baby.
In addition, the auspicious flowers have been kept in the house for so long, and it was normal for the fluffy little foxes to have dolls by the auspicious flowers before, and it was normal for them to have them.
But this matter shocked Qi Yun quite a bit.
When he was consummating the house before, he only put red dates and longan, but not lotus seeds and peanuts, because he had no extravagant hopes for the fate of his children.
It is already an extra blessing to have a beautiful girl as his wife. Next to him, what is there to ask for with his body
But now that the child came, and it came so unexpectedly, Qi Yun was a little dizzy for a while.
The run just now, coupled with the anxiety, Qi Yun's body was still empty, and he couldn't help feeling black in front of his eyes when he was overjoyed.
But this time, Qi Yun's reason told him not to fall, not to faint.
This is a good thing, and with so many people around, he can't let Jiao Niang worry.
So, he supported Ye Jiao, and his body that was about to sway back actually stood up straight.
At this moment, others might not be able to see clearly, but Ye Jiao could see clearly.
Especially when this person first loosened himself and then hugged him, the little ginseng found the clue between the loosening and tightening.
She stood up immediately, lost her chopsticks, ignored the shrimp cakes, and said softly to Qi Yun, "Xiang Gong, I'm a little tired."
Liu Shi immediately said: "Tired? Then hurry up, go back and rest, Erlang, take Jiao Niang back, don't bump it."
Ye Jiao responded, seemingly asking Qi Yun to support her, but in fact she was secretly supporting Qi Yun, and when she left the door, she called Xiao Su and Tie Zi to help.
And Liu Shi watched them leave, with tears in his eyes in addition to a smile.
It's not that she begged her grandson eagerly, on the contrary, Liu Shi has never asked, dare not ask, can't ask.
All she asks for is the health of her son, that's all.
But now that luck has arrived, Liu Shi is also full of joy.
However, Mrs. Liu was calm in the end. She used a handkerchief to cover the corners of her eyes. When she looked at the guests again, she smiled softly. Others were also happy to congratulate the Qi family for their double happiness. The hall was full of excitement.
After Ye Jiao helped Qi Yun to go back to the yard, Qi Yun sat on the soft couch, the man's head was still a little dizzy.
In fact, this feeling has not been over for a long time. His body is getting better, and the problem of being weak and dizzy at every turn has disappeared.
But this time it was different.
Before it was the sorrow of infirmity, but now it is the joy of the new life.
Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su and Tie Zi to go out first, while she held Qi Yun's hand gently, and Xiao Ginseng used her own way to make up her husband's body.
Seeing that Qi Yun's face was gradually returning to normal, he stood up and said, "It's about time, I'll bring you the medicine."
Qi Yun has been drinking the medicine, one bowl a day, without interruption.
But as soon as she let go, she felt that she was being held back by this person again.
Looking back with some doubts, she saw the man sitting on the soft couch looking at her with his head raised.
Ye Jiao rarely looked at a man's face from this angle. At this moment, the spring light in the afternoon was just right, softly filtering through the window lattice, reflecting on him, warm and soft.
And Qi Yun gently tugged at her hand: "Jiao Niang."
Ye Jiao didn't leave after just shouting, but didn't say what to do, she turned around and stood in front of him.
Qi Yun gently wrapped around the woman's slender waist, leaned her face on her soft belly, and said softly, "Little girl."
Ye Jiao also replied softly, "Yeah."
"Wait a while to drink the medicine." Qi Yun's voice was quiet.
Ye Jiao put her hand on the man's neck and replied softly, "Drink if you need to, you promise me."
Qi Yun exhaled: "Jiao Niang, you are my elixir."
What he said was sincere and sincere.
What he asked for, and what he didn't ask for, Jiao Niang gave him.
Ordinary medicine heals the body, but his sweetheart heals the heart.
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and hugged Qi Yun a little tighter: "Well, I'm your medicine." Anyway, this was how she used to make up her husband's body.
While being warm, Xiao Su carefully knocked on the window: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, Young Master Ye is here."
Ye Pingrong
Qi Yun's mood has stabilized a lot now. Hearing this, he took a deep breath, let go of Ye Jiao slightly, stood up, and said, "Your brother should be here to congratulate you, go and meet." Just came a little faster.
Ye Jiao blinked and did not answer immediately, but insisted: "You drink the medicine first."
Knowing that she was worried about herself, Qi Yun nodded: "I'll drink it, but don't go get it. I'm going to the front hall, and then I'll drink it myself."
He's going to be a father, which is also a happy event, it's time to go out for a spin.
Ye Jiao held his wrist and nodded after confirming that the person was really all right.
But before Qi Yun left, he stopped again at the door and pointed to his face.
Ye Jiao was puzzled at first, then remembered what Qi Yun had taught her before, and obediently tiptoed and kissed the man on the face.
This scene was seen by Ye Pingrong who was entering the courtyard.
There was a smile in his eyes, thinking that their husband and wife would be beautiful, but he didn't make a sound. He only stepped into the courtyard door after letting Qi Yun leave.
Ye Jiao smiled when she saw him: "Big brother."
Ye Pingrong was joking and deliberately asked, "What did you do just now?"
I thought it would tease her little sister, but who knows, Ye Jiao's face was as usual, and her voice was clear: "My husband said that after getting married, if you want to say goodbye, you will do that."
Ye Pingrong: …
