Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Qi Yun didn't talk about the Jinbian issue with his family, so everyone except him and Tie Zi didn't know about it.

It was still early at this time. The Liu family was originally praying for the Buddha. When she heard the movement, she called Mother Liu to come and ask. Hearing Mother Liu said that it was someone from the Yamen, the Liu family was shocked and hurriedly helped her out.

Before reaching the gate, he ran into the Fang family who hurried forward.

Liu thought she knew what was going on, so he asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Why is there such a big disturbance in the office... Could it be that someone in our family has entangled the lawsuit?"

Fang's heart burst upon hearing this.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Qi Zhao. In fact, the Fang family knows that among the three brothers in the Qi family, Qi Zhao seems to be the oldest and should have an idea. But in fact, Qi Zhao is the most honest person and he is cautious. Be careful, be gracious and kind, and never get grudges or hatreds with others. I think there is nothing wrong with it.

But when things arrived, the people from the yamen were waiting in the front hall, and Erlang's family was on the mountain, Saburo was studying in the city, and Da Lang was left at home. If something really happened, it could only be Da Lang...

Fang had no idea in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, his face paler than usual.

Liu looked at her nervousness, and knew in her heart that her eldest daughter-in-law was looking outgoing, but she was actually a casual and timid. I was afraid that now she thought of nothing, Liu stopped scaring her. , Reached out and patted the back of Fang's hand, and took her to the lobby.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of red.

Red is always a festive color, but even during the Chinese New Year, the Qi family has never decorated it like this, and Liu looked at these servants wearing red and hanging colors, and their servants were busy carrying the incense case and didn’t figure out the situation for a while. .

Qi Zhao arrived one step early and was talking to Qi Yun, but after Ye Jiao saw the Liu family and the Fang family, he helped Xiaosu over and said, "Mother, sister-in-law."

When Liu turned his head to see Ye Jiao, he was taken aback again.

In fact, Ye Jiao hadn't been up to the mountain for two months, but her belly was much bigger than she had seen before leaving.

The little ginseng was originally slim and slender, and she wasn't very embarrassed. Now, the appearance of her belly is nothing to an ordinary pregnant woman, but it looks a little different here for Ye Jiao.

Seeing that Ye Jiao was about to bow, the Liu family hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her: "Don't move, be cautious, you are now a month old, don't make these vain gifts, you will be tired." Then he turned to Xiaosu. He beckoned, "Quickly, go move a chair and let the girl sit down."

Ye Jiao grabbed Xiaosu and smiled at Liu's: "Mother, it's okay. We have to prepare for some time. Let's just sit and wait. We don't need to move chairs."

Only then did Liu remembered to look at the staff again, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?"

Ye Jiao just heard that Zhizhou talked about the whole story, and now she honestly said: "I heard the leader say that it was the emperor who felt that the Qi family had done the relief work, so he wrote a plaque and sent it over."

Emperor, the plaque written?

... Royal pen?

Liu's figure shook, and Mrs. Liu hurried up to hold on.

But this time Liu's face was ruddy, and there was a smile, not to be scared, but to be happy!

This emperor's imperial pen is no match for the other objects. It is not gold or silver, but it is a face that can't be asked for.

The Qi family ancestors were farming for three generations. Even though they acquired a large farmland, they were born as farmers, and now they can get up at the shop of Erlang, but that is a business of merchants.

Nowadays, the imperial court is engaged in business, but in the end it is a literati who is an official. This business person can only say that he enjoys wealth without discrimination, but it is far less decent than scholars.

But now it would be different with this imperial pen, even though the plaque was covered with red cloth, and the written characters could not be seen, but Liu guessed it should be a compliment.

Don't worry about what you are boasting about, as long as you hang this plaque, from now on, even officials in office will give the Qi family a bit of noodles!

This is glory, and it is also a signboard. The Qi family is coming in time.

Thinking of the benefits of this incident, Liu's tightly grasped Mrs. Liu's hand, and exhausted all his strength to keep himself from getting too excited, but still brought a smile on his face.

The last time she laughed like this was when Ye Jiao was pregnant with Xu Bao.

The Liu looked at Fang and Ye Jiao again, and finally recovered, and said repeatedly: "Okay, very good, quickly, let them be swift. Also, go call the master back. Tell him something big! By the way, go get a thick cushion, add a few more layers, and kneel later, don’t make the lady feel too uncomfortable."

Granny Liu replied repeatedly and led someone to do it, but Fang did not react for a while.

She looked at her siblings blankly, and whispered: "Really, something the emperor gave?"

Ye Jiao nodded. To Little Ginseng, she didn't think the emperor had any gold, otherwise she wouldn't have mixed the dregs of Baihongguo into that person.

However, Fang's mouth was covered with a veil in hindsight. After being surprised, he laughed, his round face flushed with joy.

If the Fang clan used to feel distressed for the food he had given away, now his heart no longer hurts and his spirit is better, and he walks with wind.

She also ran to pull the stone out, so that her son would also be happy.

In the hearts of ordinary people, worshiping the emperor is similar to worshiping the Buddha in the temple, and you will be blessed if you touch it.

Ye Jiao slowly walked to the side and sat down, asked Xiao Su to bring her snacks and waited while eating, but everyone was busy, and she was not too conspicuous, so she occasionally reached out and pinched a piece of snowflake cake. Put it into your mouth quickly, and then put it down pretending to be nothing.

But Xiao Su looked behind him, but felt that the second grandma was more obvious.

Especially the appearance of the cheeks bulging, everyone knows that they are stealing food.

The little ginseng, who thought he was very concealed, clapped the glutinous rice flour on his hand with the veil, looked around, then covered his mouth with the veil, and asked Xiaosu in a low voice: "Why haven't we started yet? Wait, Xu Bao is afraid. I'm about to wake up."

Xiao Su immediately bent down and whispered back: "Young Master was taken away by Momma Mo, so don't worry about the second grandma. You should be waiting for the master at this moment. He's back to start."

And Qi's father is now on his way to Zhuangzi.

Due to the previous torrential rain, not only the downstream was flooded, but also a lot of Qijiazhuang in the upstream was flooded.

The water receded in the back, but the seedlings fell a lot. Recently, the tenants of the Qi family have been remedying it.

Today, Father Qi is going to see the progress.

But without waiting for him to go out in the carriage, he saw someone running towards his house facing them. Qi's father was a little strange, so he asked the coachman to stop the car. After he got down, he didn't wait to ask. He came over and said, "Master Qi, why are you still here? Go back quickly, something has happened."

Father Qi hurriedly asked: "What's the big deal!... Could it be that the second daughter-in-law gave birth? No, it's still a few months away."

This person waved his hand and replied: "No, no, I heard people say that it was something that the yamen sent over, or something that was bestowed by the imperial palace! Master Qi quickly go back to receive the reward and congratulate Master Qi."

When Father Qi heard it, he didn't have any thoughts to go to Zhuangzi, and said a few times "Same joy and joy", and then climbed directly into the carriage, urging people to go home quickly.

As soon as he arrived home, he was supported by the young man waiting anxiously at the door and stepped through the door together.

In the front hall, Qi's family had gathered in one place, arranged the incense case, and placed the plaque. As soon as Qi's father entered the door, someone took him to the main seat.

Then, it was a set of procedures for accepting the gift of imperialism, placing the incense case, lighting the incense, bowing down to thank God, and finally unveiling the red cloth on the plaque.

Zhigao Xingjie.

The Qi family looked surprised by these four characters, especially Qi Yun. Even though he knew the golden plaque bestowed by Chu Chengyun, he didn't know that he had sent these four characters.

It is not an act of praise, but a virtue.

This is already the supreme glory, and the presence of this plaque is of great significance.

See who will look down on because of his merchant status in the future.

It's just that Qi Yun didn't know if Chu Chengyun thought about this when he was Imperial Gift, but for Qi Yun, no matter what Chu Chengyun's original intention was, he remembered this kindness.

After the imperial gift was completed, everyone got up, Liu and Fang took Ye Jiao to rest, and Qi's father smiled and greeted the young servants to go out to entertain guests and friends and set up a banquet.

If the cook is not enough, go to the restaurant and ask the cook to come, and he must put on the running water table in a lively day!

Not only was it to prevent those watching the excitement from leaving empty-handed, but more importantly, Qi's father had to show off that he had got the imperial pen.

This is the glory that no one has ever obtained in Shili Baxiang and even the entire prefecture. Naturally Father Qi needs to be proud to be happy.

Shao Zhizhou didn't leave immediately, not to get together in Qi's house to fight the autumn wind, but he still had business to do.

People brought Qi Ming's bookcase over, and Shao Zhizhou turned around Qi Zhao and Qi Yun before choosing to walk towards Qi Zhao.

In Shao Zhizhou's opinion, Qi's father is old and never cares about things. The big and small affairs in this family have always been managed by the family boss.

In addition, the previous disaster relief work was done by the elder brother Qi Zhao. Only a few people knew that the ideas inside were taken by Qi Yun. Therefore, Shi Tianrui chose to entertain Qi Yun after inquiring so hard. Shao Zhizhou came in such a hurry and just pulled Qi Zhao to talk.

Master Zhizhou was sure that Qi Zhao was the one who got the emperor's blue eyes, but he didn't know that Qi Dalang didn't know what he was talking about.

Shao Zhizhou smiled at Qi Zhao very amiably and amiably: "Qi Jia Dalang is a young talent, and he knows at first glance that he is a man of heroic determination. If he wants to come, he is also broad-minded." The implication is to let Qi Zhao not be too much. Care about what you did before.

Qi Dalang didn't understand what he meant at all. Instead, he smiled heartily and said to Shao Zhizhou: "Thank you, Master Zhizhou for the praise, Qi Mou is not ashamed of it."

"Qi Dalang doesn't have to be too self-effacing, he must be able to run the family business so prosperously."

Qi Zhao shook his head straightforwardly: "No, my second brother is more capable."

Shao Zhizhou laughed and said, "Brothers and friends like Qi Dalang are really a role model for the people." Then, when Shao Zhizhou saw him speaking politely, he thought that his persuasion had worked, and the smile on his face became more real." Previously, the official caught a group of gangsters on the street and robbed a cage, which contained Saburo's name, so the official thought about sending it back."

When Qi Zhao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thanks to your hard work, I have thanked him on behalf of my foolish brother."

"you are welcome."

"Where and where."

On the side, Tiezi's eyelids jumped.

Even though he didn't know exactly what happened, Tiezi felt that what the young master and the insatiable Master Zhizhou said was not the same thing.

When I turned to look at my second young master, I saw that Qi Yun was speaking with Ye Jiao.

Tie Zi asked Liu Si, who was standing obediently, to take over the cage, and then the two walked towards Qi Yun together.

Qi Erlang was patiently coaxing Ye Jiao to drink some hot water to warm her body, but the small ginseng body is already hot, and it is summer again. Even if drinking hot water is good for her body, it may not be comfortable, Ye Jiao kept hiding behind. Do not drink.

When he saw Tiezi and Liusi, Ye Jiao hurriedly said, "What are you carrying?"

Liusi stammered, didn't like to talk, just looked at Tiezi eagerly.

Tiezi replied, "Second young lady, this is the cage used by the third young master to study. It was lost in the street before, and I just found it now."

Ye Jiao became interested when she heard that it was something from Qi Ming. In order to avoid the cup that Qi Yun handed over, she hid aside, pushed Qi Yun's hand away, and beckoned to Liu Si: " That's right, quickly see if the things inside are still there."

Qi Yun also looked over after hearing this.

Although he thought that things would be lost and recovered, he didn't expect that Shao Zhizhou would react very quickly. I was afraid that he also saw the inscription on the copybook, and most of them ran in fright.

As for the contents, Qi Yun was sure that Shao Zhizhou did not dare to deduct it.

Since he was able to take the initiative to step down, Qi Yun never thought that he would really have trouble with Zhizhou, so he should expose the matter and go his own way.

Sure enough, Liu Si opened it and looked at it, then said: "Back, back to the second grandma, they are all there, not lost."

Qi Yun thought to himself that it was so.

But at this moment, Liu Si looked at it again, took out a copybook, did not open it, just looked at it in the cage again, and then said: "Lost... Lost, the third young master installed the copybook, bag, bag, Gone."

Tiezi said: "It's just a bag, it doesn't matter."

Liusi shook his head again and again: "Then the top, there is, there is the Suisuizi from the second grandma."

Ye Jiao remembered that he had indeed played against Saburo, which was considered to be of his mind, but if it was lost, it would be fine.

But Qi Erlang has always cherished Ye Jiao very much. Whatever she makes is as precious as a treasure in Qi Yun's eyes. Naturally, he can't lose it, so he asked Tie Zi to ask.

Tie Zi couldn't ask clearly, so he whispered a few words to Qi Zhao.

Qi Dalang is straightforward. He didn't turn around. He asked directly, "Master Zhizhou, you can find the cage for Fool Brother. I am very grateful, but I don't know if there is a cloth bag still there?"

Hearing this, Qi Yun looked over, and Ye Jiao took the opportunity to pour the hot water in the cup aside, and just took the warm honey water to drink. Seeing that Qi Yun didn't notice his little movement, Ye Jiao smiled. , Then I looked at Shao Zhizhou.

At the next moment, I heard Shao Zhizhou smile and say, "Well, the officer remembered that it had an ugly tassel, probably lost. The officer thought it was not an important object, so he didn't pay attention."

The little ginseng was stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything, just drank the honey water silently, and stared at the purse ears that Qi Yun was hanging on for a long time.

Qi Yun didn't say anything, still with a gentle expression on his face, gently stroking Ye Jiao's back, and after the plaque was hung up, he helped Ye Jiao go back to the yard to rest.

Because of Ye Jiao's weight, she naturally didn't need to worry about the running water mat in front, and naturally others would take care of it.

Ye Jiao didn't take the matter to her heart. Maybe she was a little awkward when she heard someone say that she was ugly, but the little ginseng is a memoryless person, so she quickly left behind and accompany him cheerfully. Xu Bao fell asleep after playing for a while.

After she fell asleep, Qi Yun fanned her for a while. After Ye Jiao fell asleep, Qi Yun gently slapped the fan, went out to the outer room, sat at the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote to Ye Pingrong. Long letter.

In the letter, first expressed his gratitude to Chu Chengyun by quoting scriptures. The writing was exceptionally simple. Although the words were clever but not so colorful that it made people feel hypocritical, it looked extraordinarily sincere.

Later, the conversation turned around and he wrote about Qi Ming's affairs. Qi Erlang also described the matter in detail, without omissions in any details, especially with regard to Shao Zhizhou and the Shao family, Qi Yun did not have the slightest bit. hidden.

Then, he handed it to Tiezi with a cold expression, "Let's send someone to the Palace of General Ye in the capital, go."
