Ye Jiao was not familiar with the Lin family, and she didn't even have this surname in her mind.
For a long time, she couldn't remember what kind of family the Lin family was. It wasn't until Mr. Dong said that "his pottery business has been divided up by others." Then she realized that when she went to the county chief's house for tea, the man stared at her when he went out. The woman who didn't let it seem to have the surname Lin.
It's just that Mr. Fang was just talking at the time, and Ye Jiao didn't take it seriously. Now he can't even remember Mrs. Lin's appearance.
Later, when the family was having a meal, Mrs. Fang also mentioned that Mrs. Lin glared at Ye Jiao, but Ye Jiao was concentrating on eating the freshly stewed beef soup, and she responded casually twice, only Qi Yun asked more. A few words and nothing else.
While feeding the two children, Mrs Dong said, "The county chief's house has been making a lot of noise, and he can't even press it down. Later, after the people from the Lin family went to make a fuss, even the government officials came, but that The Lin family was desperate because they were unwilling to quit their relatives. If they insisted that their daughter did not commit the seven outlaws, if they really divorced their wives, they would sue them. As a result, the county magistrate even said that he had to divorce his wife even if he put his son in prison. "
Ye Jiao blinked and didn't quite understand: "Jail?"
Dong explained: "If Lin hadn't violated the seven-off rule, the husband's family would not be able to divorce his wife. If he had to do so, he would have to go to jail for a year and a half."
Even if the little ginseng has never seen a prisoner, but just listening to it knows that it is not a good thing.
Reaching out and hugging her chubby Xu Bao, Ye Jiao patted his back gently, her eyes looking at Dong's: "Left and right are other people's affairs, and have nothing to do with us."
Mr. Dong hesitated for a while, but still said: "Actually, my husband didn't let me tell you about it, but I thought that I couldn't hide everything from you, so it's better to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"Then the Lin family didn't go to the county magistrate to make trouble, but went to make trouble in the owner's wine shop."
Ye Jiao's hand moved for a while, and she was a little surprised: "I went to find Xianggong? What does this have to do with Xianggong?"
Mr. Dong shook his head: "I don't know, I'm afraid that the Lin family is really desperate now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sue the government. The owner's liquor store just bought his jars before, and now they are relying on them. It is also a disaster.”
But Ye Jiao was anxious, she got up and wanted to go to Qi Yun: "No, I'm going to see Xianggong."
"It's all right now." Mrs Dong hurriedly grabbed him, "several people from the Lin family were arrested in the yamen because of the trouble. The owner is very good, so don't worry. I'm just telling you that I'm afraid that someone will get involved. Here, don't promise blindly, don't get involved with the Lin family now, or you will make yourself sick for nothing."
Ye Jiao heard the words, then sat back, and by the way put Xu Bao, who was a little dazed in her arms, on the couch.
She wrote down Dong's words, and she didn't go out if she didn't answer the post recently. She just thought that it would be better to ask when Qi Yun came back later.
At this moment, Qi Yun, who was being talked about by Ye Jiao, was holding the note handed over by Tie Zi, and looked up at him: "When did you send it?"
"The pigeon had just fallen, and I saw the letter on its leg and took it off."
Qi Yun opened the bamboo tube, took out the note inside, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully.
Lots of words, and obviously a lot to say.
In addition to telling Qi Yun that the border has been calm recently, he also talked about the news of the caravan that had happened before.
This made the man's expression a lot more relaxed.
Qi Yun looked at it and said, "Looks like the letter from eldest brother's handwriting is still effective."
Tie Zi's face also showed expectation: "But the caravan escaped?"
"Well, my eldest brother's friends have some forces nearby and went to rescue them. Only a few were injured, and a box of goods was dropped. The others did not suffer any loss." In fact, the letter also stated that all the deserters were killed. After the annihilation, there is not one left, but Qi Yun didn't tell Tie Zi.
Compared to his peers, Tie Zi was considered a calm mind, but he was a half-year-old child, one year younger than Qi Ming.
When Tie Zi heard this, a big smile appeared on his face, sincerely happy for Qi Yun.
He has been following Qi Yun for a long time, and he can also figure out some ways.
Today, the Qi family has a lot of shops, and it stands to reason that they can earn a lot of money, but Qi Yun has never stopped working hard.
In the caravan, Qi Yun invested the most energy, and he also poured a lot of hope into it.
Now that the caravan can escape, Tie Zi is naturally happy.
Qi Yun took out the fire book, lit the note, watched it burn out in the copper basin, then stood up, took a box from the shelf in the study and put it in his sleeve, saying, "Follow me. Find Big Brother Ye to thank you."
"Yes." Tie Zi replied, then trotted to the shelf and took off the fur coat for Qi Yun to put on, and handed him the warm sleeves.
Ye Jiao chose these warm sleeves for him. The crow cyan color didn't look bright, but it was extraordinarily warm and firm.
Qi Yun put his hand in, with a soft smile on his face, and then walked out.
Ye Pingrong lived in a courtyard of Qi's house. It was originally prepared for guests, and it was neat and clean, but it was far away from the study.
When Qi Yun passed by, he passed the garden where the poultry was raised, and saw Xiao Hei strolling back and forth on the fence again, looking majestic.
Qi Erlang's footsteps paused slightly, and then he didn't say much, just pretended he didn't see it.
The weather has been cold recently, so when the weather warms up, we can make a feather kite.
However, when he walked outside Ye Pingrong's courtyard, he saw that the courtyard door was open, but the door was closed, and it didn't look like someone was there.
I was about to go back and wait, but when I turned around, I saw Ye Pingrong walking in from outside.
Ye Pingrong is strong and strong, and even if it is nine cold days now, he is just a robe and he has passed the winter.
Seeing the fluffy Qi Yun at this moment, Ye Pingrong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is there anything my brother-in-law is looking for?"
Qi Yun nodded, his voice calm: "It's the news from the caravan that has escaped danger, I'm here to thank the big brother."
Ye Pingrong also had this in his heart. The caravan was not only about Qi Yun's money, but also about the expectations of the third prince. Naturally, Ye Pingrong would not be sloppy.
Now that he knew that the caravan was fine, Ye Pingrong was naturally happy: "Come on, come in and talk."
Although the charcoal basin in the room was out, the room was still warm, and it was obvious that Ye Pingrong had not left for a long time.
When the charcoal pot was re-fired, Qi Yun took off the fur coat and warm sleeves and let the iron hold it.
When Ye Pingrong saw it, he couldn't help but say, "I wanted to say before, brother-in-law, your fur coat is thick enough, why do you still use warm sleeves?"
Qi Yun looked at him, and then said, "I'm not in good health. In winter, I have to be more careful. I can protect myself by wearing more clothes." The voice paused, "These fur coats and warm sleeves are all beautiful women. What she chose for me was her mind, so I naturally have to keep it."
Ye Pingrong: …
The sympathy that had just appeared disappeared in an instant.
My brother-in-law has a younger sister to take care of, how good, my own brother has no sister's stuff... Even the purse from the last time fell into the medicine jar during the fight and boiled it, and he drank the medicine , but the purse is very important, Ye Pingrong feels distressed when he thinks of it.
However, Qi Yun's main purpose is of course not to show off, or to say something serious after showing off: "The caravan has escaped danger, but it is winter now, and the weather is freezing cold and can't come back for a while, please also please. The eldest brother told the third prince, let him not worry, and the results will be obtained when the weather warms up."
Ye Pingrong responded with a smile on his face: "This is a good thing, I will tell the prince when I go back in a few days."
Qi Yun nodded and asked Tie Zi to burn the charcoal pot more vigorously.
Then he took out the box from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Pingrong: "This is my thank you gift to eldest brother, and I hope eldest brother will accept it."
The gift was given directly, but Ye Pingrong did not extend his hand, but said, "We are relatives, why should we see outside?"
However, Qi Yun opened the box and showed Ye Pingrong what was inside. His voice was calm: "Last time I heard from Jiao Niang that Princess Hua Ning likes flower tins, and the ones in here are the latest styles..."
"Thank you brother-in-law, I'll accept it." Before Qi Yun could finish speaking, Ye Pingrong took the box and covered it, then carefully placed it in his arms.
Qi Yun had long thought that he would accept it, so he smiled and grilled his hands beside the charcoal pot.
Ye Pingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, I just went to the city and heard that the Lin family was making trouble with you?"
When Qi Yun heard the words, he didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "What are you doing in the city, eldest brother?"
Ye Pingrong didn't hide it from him and said, "I went to visit the government office and told the county magistrate's affairs."
In fact, this is not that Ye Pingrong will report it, but that he has reported it according to the facts.
A county magistrate who can condone his subordinates to do such absurd things, even if he is not at fault, at least it is a crime of oversight.
At that time, five people surrounded the carriage, but Ye Pingrong was able to protect Ye Jiao, but if it were an ordinary person, he was afraid of bad luck.
Now the county magistrate's decision is straightforward, letting his son divorce his wife, which is a sign of his attitude and clearing the relationship. He doesn't have to bear the cauldron, but a guilt that is not strictly controlled cannot escape.
Qi Yun couldn't help but raised his eyes and looked at Ye Pingrong: "Can you tell me what to do with it?"
"It's enough to retire in advance. What he did in this matter can't be considered a big mistake. It's just that he's old and he left office two years earlier, so he looks good on his face." Ye Pingrong said plainly. Get up and put it down gently.
If the county magistrate is ignorant and still leaves the Lin family alone, now he will be forced to lose his post, and I am afraid that he will still suffer from prison, far from the preferential treatment of early retirement.
Qi Yun nodded when he heard the words, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
But Ye Pingrong didn't forget his own question: "I heard people say that the Lin's shop fell one by one, but what did you do?"
Tie Zi, who was pouring tea on the side, said in his heart, who is it if it wasn't made by his own young master
This is what Qi Yun has been doing these days. Although it is not like Ye Pingrong can directly find a complaint against an official, Qi Yun has his own way. The children were all turned over, and a fire immediately set the Lin family on fire, tearing apart what they had done before, causing the Lin family shop to lose its reputation quickly.
If it wasn't for Qi Yun's hard work, the Lin family wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
It's just that the county magistrate hated it very much. It doesn't matter who is behind the Lin family, just follow the wind to bring down the family.
However, Qi Yun seriously denied Ye Pingrong: "Of course it's not me. What does his family have to do with me? Now they are unlucky, because they did too much evil before, which caused the whole body to be affected, and this caused the disaster."
Ye Pingrong was still a little suspicious, but he couldn't find the omission in this sentence.
Before he could speak, Qi Yun continued: "Besides, I've been watching the lights with Jiao Niang recently, and I'm also worried about the caravan. Naturally, I can't remember what happened to his family."
Iron:…
Ye Pingrong felt that what Qi Yun said was very reasonable. After all, in Ye Pingrong's heart, his brother-in-law's image of worrying about the country, worrying about the people, and the people never collapsed.
Besides, my brother-in-law is frail, and the fur clothes are still on the other side. How can I think about so many things
If Tie Zi could know what Ye Pingrong was thinking, he would definitely sigh.
His own young master is alone, and he has eight brains on top of others. How can he have a time when his brains are not enough
And as long as he encounters the second young grandma, Qi Yun has always been ruthless and ruthless, and has a hundred and eighty backhands ready without any hesitation.
In fact, Tiezi still doesn't know whether Qi Yun's tossing the Lin family is because the Lin family and the Qi family are not getting along in business, or because of what Fang shi had said before, Lin glared at Ye Jiao.
I always think the latter is more likely.
Qi Yun didn't stay here with Ye Pingrong. Today is a good day and auspicious day. Mrs. Liu said that she was going to offer incense.
In the past, Qi Yun was not in good health and could not follow him. Now that Qi Yun was able to go out and move around, he thought of going with Ye Jiao.
When he went back, Dong's had already taken Huzi back.
Entering the door, Ye Jiao was preparing things to go out, while Xu Bao slept soundly, and the chubby little guy slept unscrupulously, causing Qi Yun to reach out and put his little arm inside every time he saw it. receive.
But Xu Bao didn't care about this, he was grabbed by his own father and pulled it back, and he would have to stretch it out again in a while, but the children who weren't too big had to take up a lot of space, wishing they could roll and fall asleep.
Qi Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
Xu Bao slept soundly and ignored him.
Ye Jiao watched with joy: "That's what he's like when he's asleep, don't touch him."
Qi Yun frowned slightly: "The child needs to be disciplined from a young age."
But before he could stretch out his hand, Ye Jiao said, "Wake him up, cry, and none of us will go."
Qi Erlang immediately withdrew his hand and covered his fat son with a quilt, begging him not to cry and not make trouble.
Ye Jiao asked him while carrying her cape, "I just heard from Chunlan that someone is making trouble at the shop, is it okay?"
Qi Yun smiled at her: "It's alright," the voice paused, he seemed to be trying to reassure Ye Jiao, and said sincerely, "They'll be gone soon, don't worry."
Hearing this, Tie Zi subconsciously looked at Qi Yun, lowered his head again, and thought to himself, it really was because Lin shi glared at the second young grandmother...
However, people have eyes to see things, so it's better not to stare at people casually.
If you have a bad heart and hide your heart, no one will care about you.
Ye Jiao was reassured and didn't ask any more questions, she dragged Qi Yun to choose a cape together.
In the past, Little Ginseng always wore the red cape that Liu Shi gave. Although the style was a bit older, it was something Liu Shi had worn before.
But this year is a bit colder than in previous years. The lady tailor brought several thick cloaks, and they picked them up. In the end, they chose an amber bamboo-patterned cloak. They were like a couple, and then they went out.
It's just that before getting on the carriage, Ye Jiao hesitated: "Can I not bring Xu Bao?"
Qi Yun said: "We've been here and there for only an hour and a half. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet. Even if he wakes up, there is still a mother-in-law looking after him. Bao is still young and can't stand it, so it's better to stay at home."
Ye Jiao was right when she thought about it, but she was afraid of freezing with him, so she might as well go and return early now.
"Later Saburo will also go, and they can also be companions."
Ye Jiao was curious: "What is Saburo going to do?"
Qi Yun looked calm: "Copy books."
"...Why are you copying books again?"
The man's expression was calm and his tone was soft: "I'm also doing it for him." It was more because Qi Ming lied.
As for the lie, Qi Yun didn't say it, but thought coldly in his heart that the kid could even hide the fact that someone dragged him to Fireworks Liuxiang. If it wasn't for the rectification of the Lin family this time, I'm afraid he would never know it for the rest of his life.
Naughty children really need to study more.
Ye Jiao thought, Qi Ming copied the book for his own good, and her husband has always been so kind.
Then, the two got into the carriage together.
The original plan was for Mrs. Liu to take them with them, but when she was about to go out, Mrs. Liu only said that she would enjoy flowers and tea with Mrs. Fang, and let them go first.
Qi Yun naturally knew that this was a chance for the couple to be alone, so he readily agreed, and they were the only ones who drove the carriage when they went out.
And they went to the temple that Liu family took Ye Jiao to last time.
The incense here is at its peak, and the spirit and the spirit are talking, at least not to let Ye Jiao be frightened.
The little ginseng came here last time, and nothing happened from entering the temple gate to entering the Daxiong Hall, so this time I was very comfortable.
Since the Qi family used to give generous amounts of sesame oil, they could worship directly after they came.
And when Ye Jiao made a wish, she opened her mouth and said, "I hope in the future..."
Qi Yun, who had been praying for good fortune earlier, had already stood up. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at her and asked softly, "Jiao Niang, why did you say it out loud?"
Ye Jiao tilted her head and had a lot of her own reasoning: "Since I want to pray for others to hear, then I naturally have to be louder so that he can hear it, otherwise I'm talking in my heart and people can't hear it, isn't it useless? "
Qi Yun thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's right."
It's just that Qi Yun didn't worship again, but stood aside and looked at his wife with a smile on his face.
Ye Jiao then looked at the Buddha statue above, and said in a clear voice, "I hope that in the future, the husband will be safe and smooth, Xu Bao can grow up healthily, and the family and the beauty will be good." Then, Ye Jiao stood up and took the A small silver ingot was given to the little novice next to him.
Qi Yun stretched out his hand to help her get up, and waited for her to donate the sesame oil money before asking: "Jiao Niang, you just said that you were praying for me and Xu Bao, what about yourself?"
The little ginseng never thought of praying for herself. In her opinion, she is healthy and it is enough to make up for herself, and no one needs to bless her.
Moreover, life has been very good now, she has no desire to eat, drink and have a husband.
When Qi Yun asked, Ye Jiao answered honestly, "You and Xu Bao are fine, so I will be fine."
Qi Yun heard the words, but did not speak for a long time.
His hand holding Ye Jiao's wrist loosened, tightened again, and finally slid down, firmly clasping the woman's fingertips.
Ye Jiao didn't know the reason for Qi Yun's sudden mood swings, she just asked Qi Yun with a smile: "Xiang Gong, what were you thinking when you just prayed?"
Little Ginseng thought, she had told her husband what she wished, but she didn't know what Qi Yun promised.
Qi Yun shook his head and didn't tell her, even if Ye Jiao pestered him to ask him.
It wasn't until after returning home, into the night, when the red quilt was swaying down the phoenix, that Ye Jiao vaguely listened to what the man said in her ear, with a small breath, but more. It is warm warmth: "Do you still want to know what wish I made just now?"
Ye Jiao didn't like this person's problem of not moving when he spoke, so every time he urged him to finish speaking quickly, she said, "Think, speak quickly."
Then, she heard this person whisper in her ear in a low and clear voice: "What I was thinking at the time was, I hope that the wish that Jiao Niang made will come true."
Ye Jiao couldn't help but tilt her head, even in the dark night, she tried her best to open her eyes and stare at him.
In the temple at that time, Qi Yun made a wish first, and before Ye Jiao spoke, Qi Yun got up.
Her husband didn't know that his mind was full of him, just as Ye Jiao only knew now that Qi Yun was full of himself.
Ye Jiao was silent for a moment, until he couldn't hold back her voice again, and then she reached out and grabbed his neck and kissed the corner of the man's mouth lightly.
It was clear that he was deeply in love, his cheeks were flushed and his waist was a little sore, but the little ginseng smiled involuntarily.
Her husband is indeed the best person in the world.
