Ye Jiao heard Ye Pingrong's return, so she prepared to go back in a carriage.

The shopkeeper who was kneeling and thanking the emperor's mighty shop stood up numbly, trot to follow, and smiled on his face: "Second young lady, if there is an emergency, I will send the material to the house, just in time for my lady to follow and give Can the second grandma be tailored?"

Ye Jiao felt that this was good, saving time and effort. She felt good in her heart, so she asked, "Isn't it troublesome?"

"No trouble, no trouble, the second youngest is a regular customer, so we should send it to the door."

If someone asks them to send them to the door, the shopkeeper will definitely curse with a smile on his face, but Qi’s family is different. This is a well-known wealthy family, especially Qi Er Shao’s house. Don't be stingy, let alone deliver it to the door, even if he pulls all the precious materials in the shop in a cart for Ye Jiao to choose, he will be happy.

Seeing how courteous people are, Ye Jiao nodded in response.

Then, she lightly lifted her skirt and put it on the carriage, her expression was always gentle and quiet, and her gestures were dignified.

However, as soon as the carriage was on the carriage and the curtain was lowered to cut off the eyes of outsiders, the little ginseng no longer carried the shelf, and some eagerly said to Xiao Su, "Go tell Tiezi, hurry up."

Xiao Su answered, opened the curtain and said a few words.

Then, the carriage galloped all the way and rushed back to Qi's house half a time earlier than usual.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Ye Jiao saw Qi Yun and Ye Pingrong who were sitting inside.

The first thing Ye Jiao did was to look around: "Where is my sister-in-law, haven't you come back?"

Even though Ye Pingrong and Hua Ning have already made a kiss, this is the first time Ye Jiao has heard Ye Jiao calling her sister-in-law.

No matter how tall the man is, he will be a little shy when he hears the name of his sweetheart. Ye Jiada Lang couldn't help but cough lightly: "She is still in the capital and can't come out in recent months." As if to change the subject, Ye Pingrong took it out. Put a box, "This is the gift she asked me to bring you."

Ye Jiao walked over to take the box, and then saluted Ye Pingrong, "Big Brother, well."

This seems to be the first time Ye Jiao has met Ye Pingrong in such a serious manner. Ye Pingrong hurriedly stood up and gave a respectful reply.

But after sitting down, Ye Pingrong said: "We don't need such a division between us. These days, in the capital, I either let others worship or worship others, and my waist is tired. Fortunately, I got promoted."

Qi Yun was holding the tea cup and looked at Ye Pingrong after hearing the words: "Big brother seems to like being an official?"

Ye Pingrong replied very readily: "Since you are an official, you have to be a high official, otherwise the capital is full of officials and nobles. When you are a small official, you have to be courteous when you meet a higher-level official, which is very troublesome."

Qi Yun was taken aback when he heard the words, then curled up his mouth.

This is the first time I heard that being an official was for impoliteness, and my eldest brother was also exceptionally different.

Ye Jiao opened the box that Hua Ning gave to herself, and saw that it was divided into several compartments, and it was full of Huatian.

It's all made of gold leaf, and it looks bright and shiny.

Xiao Su on the side saw and thought that the lady who saw the second young grandma last time, she shot two gold ingots, and now it is a box of gold leaf, it is really not bad for money.

Ye Pingrong put down the tea cup and said, "These days, the capital is indeed a little different."

Qi Yun lifted his glasses, and Tiezi took Xiaosu away knowingly and interestingly, and the two stood guard at the door.

Inside the room, Ye Pingrong continued: "The Saint was safe after ascending to the throne. The queen was crazy. Later, after the emperor died, she chose Liang to commit suicide. Saint Rende asked her to be buried as the queen mother. Now it is peaceful. a lot of."

Ye Jiao didn't understand this, so she didn't feel much.

But Qi Yun was different. From the bits and pieces, Qi Yun felt that King Duan's succession to the throne was far from smooth.

The prince forced the palace to rebel, and he deserved it.

However, the second prince and the sixth prince died suddenly, and the queen was mad. It is impossible to say that it was only because of Chu Chengyun's good luck.

After 10,000 steps, that person can't even touch Guanpu, where's the luck?

Most of them were working hard inside, smoothing out all the obstacles in front of Chu Chengyun, and paving the way for him.

It may be Prime Minister Meng, or General Guo, no matter who it is, it is considered that King Duan was finally sent to the throne.

However, Qi Yun just thought about it in his heart, and his face was bare.

After all, the emperor Tian Gao is far away, and what happened in that palace has nothing to do with them. After all, it is a good thing to succeed the king, and it has nothing to do with Qi Yun. It is nothing to think about.

Ye Jiao smiled and asked, "Big Brother, do you want to live longer when you come back this time?"

Ye Pingrong shook his head: "I won't stay for too long. There are still things to deal with in the capital, and there are many things to choose for Huaning. There are many things. Your Majesty only allowed me to leave Beijing for ten days, right," Ye Pingrong seemed to be suddenly Thinking of it, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, "This is for Xu Bao."

This cloth bag is far less refined than the box just now, and the indigo blue fabric has some fluffy edges. It seems that someone has used it.

Ye Pingrong said: "There was a box outside. It was very beautiful, but I was in a hurry and squeezed the box on the road. Fortunately, the contents were intact and it was very important, so I brought it."

Qi Yun stretched out his hand to take it, and opened it as he said: "Is this what the eldest brother prepared for Xu Bao?"

Ye Pingrong smiled and said, "No, it was given by the sage. He said it was taken by the sage when he was young."

Qi Yun:...

This imperial gift came so suddenly that Qi Yun really didn't know what expression to make.

Then Ye Pingrong said, "Don't throw away this veil, it's also for the sacred, and it can be regarded as something for the queen."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun felt that his fingers were cramping.

Ye Jiao was also a little surprised. Even though Little Ginseng was a monk in the matter of being a human being, she also knew that the emperor was very big.

She can't tell how big it is, anyway, Xianggong said it's very big, that's big, big.

As a result, what he gave was just wrapped in cloth and stuffed?

Ye Jiao couldn't help taking it over, and saw a long-life lock lying on the blue cloth.

It is exquisitely crafted and has a smart style. There is also a unicorn on it, but it is a little more silly than an ordinary unicorn. It looks very cute.

Ye Jiao picked it up and shook: "It's so beautiful."

Ye Pingrong smiled and said, "Well, the sage asked me to pick this one. I think this one is pretty and it's coming."

Then Qi Yun put away the longevity lock, if he usually got the gift of the gods, he would kneel down to give thanks, but this little thing was wrapped in a cloth, and it really made people wonder how to give thanks.

At this moment, someone trot in from outside, hurriedly with a smile on his face, but tried to lower his voice and said something to Tiezi.

Hearing this, Tie Zi turned around and entered the room, and said to Qi Yun: "Master, I'm overjoyed, the third master clicked the head of the case!"

As soon as the news came out, Qi Yun felt that his heart had been knocked again, and he didn't recover for a long time.

It wasn't until Qi Yun and Ye Jiaoxiang brought them back to the yard that he slowed down and pulled Ye Jiao and said, "If you can't say this happy event, you won't come, but if you say it, it's rushed together."

Ye Jiao also asked him freely, "I just heard what my eldest brother said about the small three yuan, what do you mean?"

Qi Yun explained it to her in detail.

Ordinary imperial examinations are for the reputation of scholar-officials, and only when they have the reputation of being a scholar can they have entered the threshold of scientific examinations seriously.

If you want to get this title, you have to pass the county, government, and hospital exams.

Among them, the top names of these three games are called case leaders. If they can get three case leaders in a row, they are called small three yuan.

There are not many who can get the name of the small three yuan, since the change of dynasty until now, they can count it with one hand.

In addition to ability, luck is also indispensable.

Ye Jiao couldn't help but say, "This is a happy event."

With some sincere smiles on Qi Yun's face, he nodded and said: "Yes, it's a happy event, but now I can't celebrate it, or my parents will definitely put on the running water table for three days.

What he said is not an exaggeration. After all, his third brother is indeed adding luster to the family, and at the same time, he is also the first talent in the Qi family.

This is a happy event, I'm afraid Qi Ming is now a household name in Shili Ba Village.

However, Qi Yun said again: "It doesn't matter if it's Daqing, the province's swagger. Recently, our family is really too eye-catching. It just happens to be low-key."

With that, Qi Yun remembered the longevity lock that Ye Pingrong had just brought back.

Taking out the cloth bag, the man thought for a while and put the longevity lock in Ye Jiao's hand.

Ye Jiao turned her head and wanted to put on Xu Bao.

But Qi Yun gave her a hand: "Lock this in the box."

Ye Jiao was a little surprised: "Don't you let Xu Bao wear it?"

Qi Yun smiled: "This is an imperial gift, so it's better to put it away. This thing is safe at the critical moment."

The little ginseng blinked: "More effective than a peace talisman?"

"Yes, there are more spirits than peace talisman."

After all, the safety talisman can't save lives, but since this longevity lock is something of Chu Chengyun, it can really save lives. If you take it out, even the official will bow down.

I want to come to Chu Chengyun to know this, and then he gave them the longevity lock. Even if Qi Yun saw that this lock does not look like an old object, he should just talk about it when he was a child, but as long as this thing is there, Qi family There is an extra layer of protection.

Seeing that only an object was given, but in fact, it gave the Qi family a reassurance to keep their home safe.

Qi Yun thought about it, and laughed unconsciously.

His own Xu Bao probably really followed Ye Jiao, blessed and very angry.

After a few days, we arrived at Xu Bao's first birthday party.

It's not a big deal, it's just a drink for someone who knows it well, but the Qi family is not willing to sway, but others have spread it.

Not only that Qi Erlang is blessed, like a God of Wealth holding a cornucopia, what to do to make money, but also that Qi Saburo Wenquxing reincarnated, otherwise how could it be so smooth?

Later, the more it spreads and the more outrageous, it is always all kinds of praise, I can't praise it.

At Xu Bao's first birthday party, the outside was calm and there was no movement, but everyone knew that there was a happy event in the Qi family.

Even the Qi's shop discounted the wine by half on this day, and there were people lining up early.

When Ye Bao went to the school with Ye Ersao, he was passing outside the shop, and he couldn't help but pause and look over there.

Ersao Ye stretched out her hand and patted him: "See what? Hurry up, if you are late, Mr. will scold you again."

Ye Bao followed, looking back as he walked.

After leaving the town, Ye Baocai asked: "Mother, is this a wedding at my aunt's house?"

What Ye Ersao didn't hear most was Ye Jiao's good deeds, even though she knew Ye Erlang was not a thing now, but Ye Ersao still didn't have a good impression of Ye Jiao.

It's just that Ye Ersao won't say those things that I said before.

I used to think that Ye Jiao was dragging the oil bottle. It was because Ye Ersao wholeheartedly thought about it for Ye Erlang and kept it tight to him everywhere. Then he snatched everything Ye Dalang left to Ye Jiao. In the end, only Ye Jiao wore the gold bracelet. Married, there is nothing next to it.

But now, Ye Ersao treats Ye Erlang's coldness. She couldn't fight for him before, so she didn't care about anything.

But Ye Ersao was still jealous of Ye Jiao in her heart, but she didn't tell Ye Bao this. Ye Bao has already remembered things and learned a lot in the private school. Ye Ersao said that he just didn't talk about it. : "Any aunt, she is married and the family is divided. It has nothing to do with us."

Ye Bao looked at Ye Ersao, hesitated for a moment and said, "But the husband said that blood is thicker than water, and it is a good thing for auntie to live well."

Ye Erlang was taken aback for a moment, and he paused, "What?"

Ye Bao whispered, "I think it's pretty good, and I'm happy when my aunt is well."

This sentence made Ye Ersao feel bitter.

She didn't know whether it was better to scold Ye Bao for being both inside and outside, or to blame him for talking nonsense, but Ye Ersao didn't say anything in the end, just saying: "You think it's your business, don't tell me."

Seeing that Ye Er's wife's face was not good, Ye Bao didn't say anything. Instead, he asked: "Daddy hasn't come back for several days, mother, don't you look for it this time?"

Ye Ersao's expression was a bit cold: "What are you doing? If something goes wrong, he will definitely come back and ask for money, don't worry about him."

Now, the two of them are just doing things together.

It's just that Ye Ersao used to treat her life as her life, but now she treats her life as a bitter medicine.

I don't see much vigor every day, it's very boring.

But they are inseparable, inseparable, not to say that the yamen do not allow peace, but that they have no confidence in peace.

The reputation that has been corrupted, there is really no other way except to make do with it.

As for how to walk to death, Ye Ersao didn't understand it herself. She just held Ye Bao's hand tightly, then took him forward, and left as if to escape, leaving all praise for the Qi family behind. Behind.

But Xu Bao, the protagonist of this birthday party, didn't have much energy. He liked to laugh but didn't like crowds. He just wanted to hide in Ye Jiao's arms when he saw so many strangers.

Fortunately, most of the people invited were close, and would not deliberately tease and scare the child, Xu Bao just showed his face and was hugged back to sleep.

Qi Ming was not so lucky. He was surrounded by people, asking for a calligraphy for this one and an object for the other.

The few female relatives invited by Ye Jiao laughed from ear to ear. The invitations they held were all written by Qi Ming. Even though they don’t believe in Wenquxing, Qi Ming is now a master of scholarship. , I can eat the emperor's food. This post is taken back and placed under the pillows of my children, so that they can also be impressed with the fairy tale of Master Xiucai.

Ye Pingrong was like ordinary guests, drinking tea and eating vegetables, and he was extremely cheerful, no matter who did not know that this person had become a fifth-grade capital official.

Ye Pingrong will leave when the guests are gone in the evening.

Ye Jiao had already put Xu Bao to sleep. Knowing that Ye Pingrong was going to leave, she came out to send him off and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ye Pingrong smiled and looked at his sister. He probably just drank two sips of wine. His face was a little red, and he looked very refreshed: "The capital is busy, I have to go back overnight, and I will be on the next one. I went back before the meeting."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but tugged Qi Yun's cuffs, and Qi Yun grabbed her shoulders and said, "It's a good thing, our shop will be able to go to the capital in a few years. When the eldest brother and Princess Huaning get married, we will still Going to observe the ceremony."

After hearing this, Ye Pingrong couldn't help touching his face, and then said: "This is natural, and I must invite my younger sister and brother-in-law to go."

Ye Jiao nodded, and said to Ye Pingrong, "The big brother is careful all the way."

"Don't worry, I will."

Qi Yun said: "I'll see him off, Jiao Niang, please go back first."

"I'm waiting for you here." After speaking, Ye Jiao stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Qi Yun's lips.

This is something they must do every time they separate, and Xiaosu and Tiezi are not surprised.

But Ye Pingrong looked at it for a while, his eyes a little confused.

When he led the horse and Qi Yun out of the door of the Qi family and was approaching the entrance of the alley, Ye Pingrong suddenly sighed.

Qi Yun couldn't help looking at him: "What's the matter?"

Ye Pingrong shook his head, with a puzzled tone: "That's right, brother-in-law, didn't you say that this is a must-do between lovers? But before I left Beijing, I told Hua Ning, but she gave me a punch ."

Qi Yun:...

I remembered in a daze that I seemed to have used these words to tell Ye Pingrong, but Qi Yun's face was still calm: "That's because you haven't got married yet, it will be fine after you get married."

Ye Pingrong thought for a while, showing a stunned look: "So that's it."

Qi Yun looked determined: "Of course."

After Ye Pingrong left the horse, Qi Yun looked at his going away figure and thought silently, hoping that Ye Pingrong would forget about it when we meet next time.
