Qi Ming hadn't spoken a while ago, and when Ye Pingrong came in, he just met him, and then sat in a chair thinking.

In fact, he was searching for stories in his heart, and the provincial government had nothing to say when Xu Bao got around him.

Obviously Qi Ming needs to defend the dignity of his uncle in front of Xu Bao.

Now suddenly seeing the box Ye Pingrong handed over, Qi Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression, and then asked, "Brother Yi, what is this for me?"

Ye Pingrong shook his head: "I don't know." How could he just open the things the emperor gave?

The longevity lock box was accidentally knocked open last time. This time, Ye Pingrong was cautious, and didn't touch it at all.

Qi Ming opened the box and saw that there was a book inside. He took it out and read it. He read the words carefully. Qi Ming said in surprise, "This is a copybook?" Then he turned a few more pages. Recognized, "This is Zhong Shaojing's lower letters, "Ling Fei Jing"... My brother and I are really in love with each other, and he also knows that I'm copying this recently."

Qi Yun glanced at his third brother silently, thinking that it is not that others are magical, but that all your big characters have now been sent to the capital.

But Chu Chengyun was able to patiently read the large number of characters, and Qi Yun suddenly felt that his third brother was more important to him than he thought.

Although this copybook was engraved, the copybooks have always been precious, and the authenticity is hard to find. Even if it is engraved, there are not many copies, and one copy is excellent.

Qi Yun thought, that person treated his third brother really well. This copybook is not very valuable, but very useful.

At this moment, Qi Ming said "Huh", and then smiled at the eight characters on the title page: "Brother Yi is really getting better."

Upon hearing this, both Qi Ming and Ye Pingrong looked over, and soon saw the words written in the booklet.

'Xiao fights hard, is dedicated and tireless'.

There is a red seal at the back, which is probably a private seal with only two characters.

Shendu.

You can see Chu Chengyun's dedication from the seal alone.

Both of them had seen Chu Chengyun's handwriting. When they looked at each other, Ye Pingrong and Qi Yun flashed surprises in each other's eyes.

This is an imperial pen, as long as it is an imperial pen, this booklet is extremely rare.

Qi Ming has always admired Chu Chengyun's literary talent, especially Chu Chengyun's good handwriting. He likes it most and respects it.

Qi Yun thought that the inscription on Jinzunjiu that Chu Chengyun gave him was recommended by Qi Ming.

Picking up the booklet, and looking from the left to the right, Qi Ming only felt that these eight characters couldn't be read enough, and he couldn't praise it no matter how much he liked. After watching for a long time, he said, "Such a good word is rare, it's really rare. I will see Brother Yi in the future, and I must let him write this copybook for me."

Ye Pingrong directly blocked his mouth with his hands: "Ahem."

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and patted his little brother's head: "The third brother is careful."

Let Chu Chengyun write for you, and think about it... but Qi Ming doesn't know anything, Qi Yun can only think about these things, and can't say them.

But Ye Jiao didn't think so much, she leaned over to take a look, smiled and said, "It's pretty."

In fact, Ye Jiao could not tell the quality of the characters before, but she still practiced for half an hour every day. Even though the circled characters she wrote were rounder, Ye Jiao knew that she wanted to write the characters squarely. It is not easy.

Chu Chengyun probably wrote very carefully, and every word was correct and full.

Just taking them apart, Ye Jiao knew each other, and didn't understand what they meant together, so the little ginseng turned his head to Qi Ming and said, "San Lang, what are you talking about?"

Qi Ming was happy, and his voice jumped: "These words mean, let me get up early and go to bed late, read Mingzhi hard, and work harder."

Ye Pingrong actually didn't quite understand. After hearing what Qi Ming said, he nodded, thinking that the emperor really likes Qi Ming and expects him more than others.

Qi Yun picked up the tea cup, then put it down, and said to Qi Mingwen: "San Gongzi said very much, third brother, the way of scientific research is that ten thousand people cross the single-plank bridge, and few can walk across it. Naturally, you have to work harder."

Qi Ming only treated himself as his own elder brother to encourage himself, he just looked at the copybook and nodded with a smile.

But Qi Yun said again: "Then you just do it, I did the same before, the third brother naturally has to work harder than me," Qi Yun looked at Liu Si, "Go back and stare at Dian Saburo, don't Let him go out and run around, get up early and sleep late, work hard, if he gets slack, write back and tell me."

Qi Ming:...

Just now I felt that the excellent copybook suddenly became hot. Qi Ming wanted to say that he also wanted to go out to play. Even though the book is good, he has been bored in the academy for several months. How nice it is outside.

But before he could speak, he saw Ye Jiao, who was still leaning over to read the copybook just now, got up with a smile, walked to Qi Yun and held Qi Yun's hand, and said softly: "Xiang Gong is really a good person."

Ye Pingrong also nodded and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Brother-in-law is a righteous man, is a family and a country, and he always thinks about urging his younger brother. It is really rare."

Liu Si also nodded, but he still stammered and didn't open his mouth. He just stared at Qi Ming, as if telling him with his eyes that reading is good, and how is it good to go out to play?

For a moment, Qi Ming didn't know whether it was the pit that Yi brother dug, or that he dug it for himself...

Qi Yun hugged Xu Bao tightly. When he saw his fat son rubbing his eyes, he knew he was sleepy, so he hugged him tighter, and freed up a hand to pat Xu Bao on the back to coax him. Looking at Qi Ming, his voice lightened: "You must cherish this copybook, and put it away... No, take it with you."

Even though the inkstone was sent by Chu Chengyun before, it is still different from the objects of this kind of imperial handwriting.

Qi Yun couldn't help thinking about it, maybe it was a silly person who had a silly blessing. This younger brother of his own had won a righteous brother who had not gained fame.

But even if Qi Yun didn't tell him, Qi Ming wouldn't just put the copybooks of brother righteous.

He nodded, then became happy again, stood up and said: "Big Brother Ye, wait a minute, I will reply to my righteous brother. Also, I have recently made several poems, all of which are good. Wait for me to copy them. Bring a copy to brother righteous."

Ye Pingrong followed Qi Ming to the study, while Ye Jiao sat next to Qi Yun, holding her chin on, wondering what she was thinking.

Qi Erlang had already coaxed Xu Bao, so he handed Xu Bao to Mrs. Mo to take away. Then he reached out his hand to embrace his wife and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Ye Jiao looked at him, blinked, and asked, "Miangong, did you study hard at night before?"

of course not.

Qi Yun has been a sick child since he was a child. This book was not what he was willing to read, but because of the unbearable illness, he could not go out and was often sick in bed. He had no other pastime except reading.

Even if I can't sleep at night, I feel uncomfortable and I can only read and talk to masturbate.

And Qi Yun never concealed Ye Jiao, and said softly: "I used to be uneasy, but I won't be anymore."

"Stop studying at night?"

"Well, don't read it anymore. With a Jiao Niang, why bother to spend time on it."

Little Ginseng blinked, and suddenly said: "I don't believe it. It's clear that you will study the book with me at night. Naturally, you are working hard."

Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted in the next second that this book is not another book.

The tips of his ears suddenly turned red, and because Xiaosu and Tiezi were both beside him, Qi Yun couldn't say much, so he tilted his head slightly and leaned into Ye Jiao's ear and said, "If I study with the lady, I would naturally be very happy. "

Ye Jiao smiled, her eyes clear and clean, not stained with dust.

It's just that Tiezi didn't actually stare at her master all the time. Instead, she rubbed against Xiaosu and looked at her grinningly.

Xiao Su was a little inexplicable, but he stood straight, only his mouth moved slightly: "Brother Tiezi, what are you laughing at?"

Tiezi was still smiling. He didn't know what he was laughing at. He felt happy when he saw Xiaosu. He wanted to laugh when he was happy. He couldn't restrain himself.

Probably because I was staying together before, and I couldn't feel any change. After a few months of walking and coming back, I felt that Xiaosu was different from before.

It grows taller, and it's a lot more refreshing. She used to be a little girl who spoke an octave low, but now she looks at a new willow tree, slim and tall.

Xiaosu has raised his head since he hit Fangcao last time, and often changes make people grow up. Today's little girls have more ideas than before.

At this moment, I saw Tiezi and kept silent. Xiaosu thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Are knee pads easy to use?"

Tiezi nodded immediately: "It's easy to use, but it's easy to use, I take it every day."

Xiaosu looked at him: "It's hot this day, I don't believe you are carrying it."

Who knows, Tiezi really patted his knee, Xiaosu clearly saw the shape of a knee pad in his trouser legs.

Actually carry it!

Now it's March, and the weather is warm, Xiao Su can't help but stare, wondering if this person is stupid?

Tiezi didn't realize it, and still smiled and said to her: "The young master gave me a name before, Xiaosu, you can call me brother Zheng from now on."

Brother Zheng is shorter than "Brother Tiezi".

Xiao Su nodded and yelled softly, "Brother Zheng."

It was clearly a name, but Tiezi seemed to have a mouthful of sugar. He smiled a little silly, and responded crisply: "Eh!"

Xiao Su didn't know what he was happy about, but when she saw Tiezi smile, she curled her mouth.

At this time, a small servant came in outside.

Tiezi temporarily stopped talking with Xiaosu, walked quickly, and after asking a few words, he entered the hall, and said to Qi Yun: "Second young master, the Fang family sends someone to find something. Grandma speaks."

Qi Yun never asked more about Qi Zhao. Even though the three brothers were close, but the yards were separated, Qi Zhao didn't have the intention to inquire about other people's private affairs. If you see or not, just listen to your sister-in-law's own arrangements."

When the young man went to find the Shang Family, Fang was in the yard preparing clothes for Qi Zhao.

Spring in March, when the flowers are blooming, is the most comfortable to enjoy peach blossoms and wine. But for Qi Zhao, Zhuangzi is the busiest at this time. In previous years, Qi Zhao would go to Zhuangzi for a while. .

Yi Qianqian will go with him, but now that she has a stone, she is busy looking for a school for the stone, preparing to stay at home.

Hearing that his family was coming, the Fang family did not let them in. Instead, he said to the young man: "Tell them, I told them that I went to Zhuangzi with Dalang. I was not at home. I was afraid I would have to wait ten and a half days. Come back."

The young man didn't ask much, and left after writing it down, and Qi Zhao, who was playing with the stone, looked at Fang curiously: "Lady, you want to accompany me? Then who will find a school for the stone."

Fang was picking up the clothes to bring Qi Zhao, lowered his head slightly, and replied after hearing the words: "I am not going with you. I just blocked my brother and brother with words and let them go back. Don't always think about it. Work hard with me."

Qi Zhao deliberately asked what happened, but his son still looked at him eagerly.

After thinking about it, Qi Zhao picked up the stone, put it on the chair in front of the table, and stuffed him with a brush: "Write it well, your mother will check it later."

stone:……

Then Qi Zhao walked over and sat next to Fang Shi and asked her what happened.

The Fang family originally wouldn't tell Qi Zhao about her natal family matters, but this time, she didn't hide it at all: "I'm afraid they might also beg to you in the future. Just remember, don't agree. "

"what happened?"

Fang turned his head and looked at the stone that was writing obediently with a writing brush, and then he took Qi Zhao to the outer room. After sitting down, he said, "After the Chinese New Year, my brother has been looking for me so that I can get along with my second brother. Dip the light."

Qi Zhao was a little puzzled: "Your elder brother is a scholar and your second brother is in business. How can you make them shine?"

Fang said in an angry voice: "I don't know where he heard the relationship. He climbed up to the distant relative of Zhizhou. The distant relative of Zhizhou is surnamed Shao. He does business in the city, especially the business of the restaurant and restaurant. Now that the second brother’s shop is booming, my brother is thinking that he wants to let the second brother give the Shao family a profit, which is called a good relationship, in fact, it is for his own consideration."

Whether it's for donating officials or selling well, it's all for my own sake, and I didn't even consider the Qi family.

If the Shao family really wants to discuss with Qi Yun, that's it for themselves, why bother with a trustee?

Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Whether this subterfuge was true or false, it was only for money in the final analysis.

I still paid out of my second brother's pocket.

It's just that the bend his elder brother made is really a bit big, so he can ask his sister-in-law to find the younger uncle and give benefits to outsiders. This way he can't think of it.

Without waiting for Qi Dalang to say anything, Fang continued: "If he wants to find something to do, I can help. After all, he is a relative and I can do it. But he is obviously to please others, but he wants me Use your own face to find your second brother for good and to block his pit. This is called generosity. It is selfish and will ruin your brotherhood. I don’t even bother to see if I don’t want me to live well. they."

In fact, Fang is still that stingy temperament and has never changed, but she is also reasonable.

If the elder brother and sister-in-law are short of money and burn their eyebrows, she can work hard to find some way to help them solve their burning eyebrows.

But now it was made clear that it was the mother's family who was whimsical and wanted to profit from themselves, but didn't think about it at all. Fang's temper is not doughy, so naturally he is not happy.

Improperly going back is already because she is concerned about the relationship between brothers and sisters. There are too many, but she can't do anything.

Qi Zhao blinked and looked at Fang with such determination.

Fang cried out to give him a glance: "What do you always look at me like this?"

Qi Zhao smiled and looked at her and said, "I look at my wife, it's great."

Fang's face turned red involuntarily and gave him a punch.

However, the two more people didn't talk about it anymore. After all, it was Fang's maiden family. Qi Zhao couldn't say good or bad, so he just wrote down the matter, and went around recently.

The Fang family, after setting up the burden for Qi Zhao, took the stone and went to the Liu family's yard.

Ye Jiao was also with the Liu family right now.

Xu Bao woke up after a short nap. He didn't take a long nap. Sometimes Ye Jiao opened his eyes before he woke up.

This time Ye Jiao finally got out of the yard, thinking that he hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time, so he came with Qi Yun and Xu Bao.

However, Qi Yun didn’t stay long before he went to talk to Ye Pingrong, and Liu and Ye Jiao were left sitting on the soft couch, while Xu Bao was eating milk cake on the soft couch, and his eyes narrowed. .

When the stone came, Xu Bao's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Brother Stone!"

Shi also missed him very much, kicked his shoes on the soft couch, and quickly hugged Xu Bao, but when Xu Bao smiled and hugged his arm, Shishi's little brows tightened.

Before Fang Shi sat down to take a breath, he saw Shi Shi's slumped mouth grabbing Liu's hand.

People of the next generation are always exceptionally close, and the Liu family is the same.

Although after Xu Bao, Liu's family did not pet Shishi alone as before, she treated her grandchildren with a good balance, loving this and that.

At this moment, seeing Xu Bao pulling himself, Liu Limala stopped the little hand of the stone and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the stone?"

The stone shook his arm: "Sour, grandmother rubbed it."

Upon seeing this, Fang said: "It's probably because I have practiced a lot in the last few days, it won't get in the way."

Liu's family could also hear that the stone was acting like a baby. Most of it was not really sour, but Liu's heart was still soft, and he immediately stretched out his hand to let the stone lie down, and then squeezed his arm to the stone and said, "He is still young, and he can read and read. Don't rush for a while, take your time."

Fang responded with a smile, but didn't really write down in his heart. She still had to write, so that she would not be fooled by her son.

Stone was lying obediently, watching Liu Shi rubbing his arms, suddenly regaining the feeling that his previous grandmother petted him alone.

Xu Bao, who was on the side, was holding the milk cake. When he saw it, he looked at Liu's and then at the stone, and then stuffed the remaining milk cake in his mouth.

Then, he lay down straight.

Little Fatty twisted his body, first rolled in place, and then rubbed against Ye Jiao.

Confronting Ye Jiao's puzzled expression, Xu Bao said softly, "Mother, rub it."

As soon as these words came out, both Fang and Liu laughed.

Especially the Liu family, smiling from ear to ear: "This kid is quick to learn, and he knows that he is fighting."

Ye Jiao stretched out her hand, hesitated, thinking that her son didn't write and his arm wouldn't be sore, so just rub it.

As a result, Xiao Xubao was rubbed and beaten on the soft couch by his own mother for several times, but he was still happy. When Ye Jiao took his hand back, he rolled around, and then rubbed against the stone. Hugged the stone.

And Shishi's younger brother, who never refuses the smell of milk, also grabbed Xu Bao's hand, and for a while forgot the sore arms he had just said, and sat up to play with Xu Bao.

The two children went to play by themselves, and the adults had time to drink some tea and eat.

As the weather became warmer and the flowers were blooming, the Liu family wanted to find a time to go out and take a look. Although Ye Jiao couldn’t walk too much now, the garden on the mountain was almost cleaned up, so he just asked Liu to come over and take a look. Look, it's all Qi Yun's filial piety.

The Liu family was naturally happy, and was about to agree, but heard a thunderous sound outside.

Although it was only a slight tremor, and others didn't take it seriously, Ye Jiao frowned slightly and stood up while supporting Xiao Su by her side.

Liu looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It feels like it's going to rain." The voice paused slightly, "Heavy rain."

She has been in the mountains for thousands of years, and I don't know how much she has seen in Chunlei and Dongxue.

At that time, the small ginseng has not been transformed into a human form. Regardless of whether it is sane or not, the body is always personal ginseng. When it grows in the ground, it will be stuffy when it snows, and it will be suffocated when it rains. Even if the ginseng has long legs, it will not run fast. eat.When the weather changes, small ginseng must be prepared early.

Even now, Ye Jiao is always more sensitive to these than others.

When it rained and snowed before, the movement was small, and Ye Jiao didn't feel much, but found it interesting.

This time it was different. Ye Jiao took Xiaosu to the door and took a look. Even if there were no raindrops in the sky, she thought it would be heavy rain.

The Liu family and the Fang family don't know the truth or not, but the thunder is real. No matter how heavy the rain is, it is always right to prepare early.

Just in case, the Liu family asked them to hurriedly put in all the things they had put in the yard. The flowers outside had to be covered with coarse cloth to prevent them from being poured. The cellar was padded with wood-saving rain.The Fang family went back and told Qi Zhao that he would not go to Zhuangzi for the time being, just let the tenants take care of the letter.

That night, heavy rain fell from the sky, pouring like a pillar, and it took ten consecutive days to stop.
