The story that Qi Jiasanlang won the first name of the case soon spread in the vicinity.

Nowadays, there are not many people who can read. Ordinary people just want to raise their children safely, and then they can help their families to support their families. Often, only people with a little money can remember to send their children to study and write essays.

Qi Ming has been watched by Qi Yun, the second elder brother, since he was a child. he also likes reading and has always had a reputation for intelligence, but he went to school early and seldom came back, and others did not know how Qi Ming went to the bottom of school.

Who would have thought that people unexpectedly quietly took the case and went home for the first time, which made a great deal of face to the Qi family!

The messenger came back one step ahead of Qi Ming and shouted all the way that Qi Sanlang had passed the exam, won the first place in the case, and spread the news.

When Qi Ming came home, he saw that the family was busy and hung red lanterns, ready to give him a banquet to celebrate.

This made Qi Ming a little embarrassed: "Niang, the county examination is only the first hurdle, and there will be a government test in April. If the children don't do well in the exam at that time, will it not be a waste of the kindness of their parents now?"

The meaning of Qi Ming is very simple. The matter of scientific examination is never certain. Whether the article for the examination is good or not depends on the examiner's judgment.

Now he has called the head of the case, but when he comes to the next test, he dare not say that he will pass.

If it fails, will it not live up to Liu's expectations?

At this time, Liu was pondering with Ye Jiao Fang about the dishes to be laid at the banquet later. After listening to Qi Ming's words, Liu gave him a look: "not to mention those unlucky ones, Saburo, you hurriedly Bah three times."

Qi Ming obediently did it.

Fang smiled sincerely and said, "Don't worry about the third brother. Although this county test is the first pass, I don't know how many people can't even pass the county test. Now that you've got the head of the case, this is the first of the small three yuan." you are the only one who has had you in this neighborhood in ten years, and celebrating is the right thing to do. "

Liu could tell that there was something in Fang's words. after all, it was her father who won the county trial ten years ago.

However, Liu did not think that there was anything wrong with showing off. After all, it was tested by his own father, and it was reasonable to talk about it.

But Fang seemed to be afraid of Liu's thinking, and hurriedly added: "especially when the third younger brother is only 15 during the Spring Festival, it should be a great blessing for such a young case."

Ye Jiao also nodded. As Qi Yun told her just now, it is not easy for the third younger brother to get the head of the case.

Qi Yun also told Ye Jiao about the so-called imperial examination road, what is meant by the local examination, the little ginseng listened to the fog, and only remembered a general idea.

She calculated in her heart that Saburo was only five exams away from the champion, and it would be soon.

Obviously, the little ginseng also has a kind of blind trust in Qi Ming, the "apprentice" brought out by Qi Yun.

Qi Ming's face flushed. Although his character was relatively calm and his reading composition was among the best, he was a half-year-old boy, thin-skinned and bragged in front of his mother and sister-in-law. He felt that he could not bear it, and fled away with a bare face.

Liu looked at his back and said with a smile, "Saburo is still a child, and there are still some exercises in the future."

Fang put the food list aside and talked about another thing: "Mother, Saburo is not young. Should he get married?"

This matter is not outside Fang's share. As a sister-in-law, she should mention it to Liu.

Liu still shook his head: "Sanlang is smart. He has won the first county trial this time, and he will be blessed in the future." If he really becomes an official one day, unlike ordinary people, his marriage would be better planned later. "

Fang nodded when he smelled the speech and stopped mentioning it.

Ye Jiao just sat in and did not express her opinions, and there was no need for her to worry about these things. Little ginseng paid more attention to the menu in her hand.

The Qi family is different from others, the food of the banquet will not find outside chefs to do, only use their own cooks, cooking dishes do not ask for much expensive, and usually eat about the same.

It's just that the Qi family is accustomed to eating well, but they all look attractive when they put out what they usually eat.

Ye Jiao's eyes scanned the food list. Looking at most of the food she had never eaten, she felt that she was beginning to get hungry.

Then Ye Jiao looked out and seemed to be counting the time.

Hungry, want to eat.

However, Liu misunderstood what Ye Jiao meant. She looked at Ye Jiao eagerly and thought she was thinking of Qi Yun. She smiled in her heart and said faintly on her face, "it's late, and I won't keep you two, and there's no need for you to be busy. Naturally, there's a woman looking out. Go back and change your clothes first, and come back at dinner time."

Hearing the words, the two wives got up and saluted and went back to the yard.

As soon as Ye Jiao entered the gate, she saw Tiezi coming back from outside. She stopped Tiezi and said, "where have you been?"

Tiezi immediately stopped at the smell of the speech and replied respectfully to Ye Jiao, "back to the second wife, I just went to call Li Lang Zhong.". "

As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao became anxious.

Li Lang-Zhong regularly came to Qi Jia to show Qi Yun his health, but the difference was that Qi Yun was always not well, especially last year, when he had reached the point where he could not stay in his sickbed. Li Lang-Zhong came every day and tried his best to listen to his destiny.

But now it is different. Qi Yun's body is much better, and Li Langzhong only comes every ten days to see how safe he is.

Ye Jiao remembers that today should not be the day for Li Lang to come. When she was going to invite Tiezi, her first reaction was that Qi Yun was not in good health.

Before Tiezi finished, Ye Jiao picked up her skirt and ran.

Xiao Su hurriedly followed, shouting, "granny, slow down, don't fall!"

Tiezi also hurriedly chased after Ye Jiao for fear that something might happen to Ye Jiao.

Qi Yun listened to the voice in the room, hurriedly opened the door, and then was hugged by his wife.

The man busy holding her, by the way also reached out to hold himself on the door frame, stopped Ye Jiao's waist to pull into his arms, and said, "Why are you running?" What can I do if I fall? I won't let you do it again. "

Ye Jiao took Qi Yun's arm, retreated from his arms, and hurriedly touched the man with her hands, her voice a little tight: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Is it too cold, or is it hot enough to touch it? "

Qi Yun was stupefied when he heard the words, and then he guessed the reason when he saw the iron son who had come back.

He hugged Ye Jiao in his backhand and said with a smile, "it's all right. I just want Li Lang to have a look. My body is fine."

Ye Jiao looked at him somewhat puzzled: "since nothing, let the doctor do what?"

Qi Yun wanted to say, show her, but after all, Jiao Niang didn't look sick. If Ye Jiao was worried about it for no reason, she went away and said, "it's not the beginning of spring. I look at the good weather." after a while, I want to go to our house and take a look at the garden in the mountains with you, but it won't be easy for Li Lang to come again. It will be a little earlier. "

Ye Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, held out her hand, hung it on the man's neck and murmured, "then you said earlier next time, you scared me just now."

Qi Yun patted her on the back. "it's my fault. I won't do it anymore. I'm sure I'll explain everything to Jiao Niang first."

Ye Jiao bent the corners of her mouth, then remembered that she was going to have a dinner later, so she grabbed Qi Yun and asked him to pick out clothes for herself.

Tiezi grabbed Xiao Su and went to one side.

Recently, Xiao Su began to learn the rules with Mrs. Liu, and she became quite calm when she followed Ye Jiao, but in front of Tiezi, she still unconsciously revealed the appearance of a little girl: "Brother Iron, but do you have something to eat?"

Tiezi smelled Yan with a smile and reached out and patted her on the forehead: "I want to eat all day long. Don't worry, you will stutter later." Then Tiezi knocked on the two people who were picking out clothes over there, and he looked back at Xiao Su. "I have something to tell you."

Xiao Su nodded: "Brother Tiezi, tell me."

"later, the second young master is going to the vestibule, and you and the second young lady are in the back hall. If something goes wrong, you can remember to find me in the antechamber."

"good."

"by the way, just now the young master asked me to ask for a husband for the second young woman. I don't know why, but Li Lang-Zhong will inevitably have a banquet when he comes over later."

Xiao Su blinked: "well, I told the young master to ask him to be safe?"

Tiezi laughed and said, "Yes, just say that the young master asked him to come, not to mention that he was specially invited for the second mistress, and don't explain to the second mistress that it will disturb the second mistress's pleasure."

Xiao Su nodded and wrote it down, and then Tiezi went out to wait, while Xiao Su went to bring new tea.

About an hour later, someone came to say that someone had already come to congratulate him.

Qi Yun was thrushing Ye Jiao again, with an attentive expression and an unconsciously low voice: "this time, most of the people here are in charge of various houses and wealthy merchants. Later, I'm going to go to the front and meet the people with my father and my eldest brother and third brother." you'll just listen to your mother in the back hall. "

Ye Jiao had always remembered to eat, but after listening to Qi Yun's words, she pulled his cuff and said, "then don't stand at the gate, the wind is strong, just wait in the front room."

Qi Huan softened his eyebrows and eyes and answered.

When she finished her makeup and gave her a hairpin, Qi Yun went to the vestibule, while Ye Jiao went to the back hall.

There are a lot of people here today, one is to congratulate Qi Sanlang, the other is to take the opportunity to get close to the Qi family.

If the original Qi family is just an ordinary wealthy family, now in the eyes of others, the family has some promising meaning.

The wife of Chuang Tzu of Da Lang is mediocre, and Jiro's shop is full of wind and water. Now this Sanlang can also go home for the first time, and the three young masters of the Qi family are the envy of people.

For example, the people of the Cai family who changed their ways before were a few, and most of them thought that they could have a good relationship, and it would be good to help one or two of each other in the future.

Most of the people who come will bring their families, which is also a sign of respect for the Qi family.

Liu stayed in the back hall with his two wives and entertained the women who came. They didn't have much to do, even talking and laughing, but they were not tired.

Dong would also help. She was already a quick-tempered woman, and she was the wife of the Qi family's shop, so it was reasonable to help others. When Ye Jiao sat down, Ye Jiao waved to her and asked her to sit next to her.

Dong looked over there and saw that Ye Jiao was next to Meng, so she went and sat down on the other side of Ye Jiao.

And the Qi family is not so big rules, before the dinner is mostly to chat and talk, easily get up, the seat is not so fastidious.

As it was not time to eat, there were only some melon and fruit snacks on the table, but this time Ye Jiao did not reach out to those snacks.

This surprised Dong: "Niang Niang, is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake not to your taste?"

Ye Jiao looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. she also thought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was delicious, especially when she was tossed around by Qi Yun for a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake last time, which impressed Ye Jiao with a dim sum.

It's just that she's full of food lists for a while, so she's not going to fill her stomach with snacks to take up space.

Meng seemed to be able to guess Ye Jiao's mind, but without breaking it, he said with a gentle smile, "the auspicious flower you gave me last time blossomed very well and smelled good, but it always fell off its petals."

Dong looked at Ye Jiao. In fact, it would be the same when she planted it. She just kept trying not to ask.

Ye Jiao did not find it strange: "the flower is afraid of the cold. It will fall off as soon as the wind blows. You will bloom well if you put it in the house."

Meng nodded and asked the servant girl who followed her to write it down, and then she wanted to say something else.

Coincidentally at this time, thought of a voice: "San Niang, congratulations, your Saburo is really very promising."

Ye Jiao looked for a voice and saw an acquaintance.

Zhang.

She has no impression of Zhang. She only remembers that she is a superficial friend of her mother Liu, but she doesn't remember anything else.

After all, the last time Ye Jiao slapped her face, Ye Jiao herself did not know how she did it, and she was not impressed by this person.

But Dong saw it and said, "how dare she come out with Qian?"

Ye Jiao could not help looking at the woman in plain clothes behind Zhang, who was not wearing a veil this time, but looked at the light color and knew it was Qian.

Dong is really strange, in fact, she does not know the feud between Zhang and Liu, but she remembers the demon they made when they opened their drugstore last time.

Last time Zhang's Qian came and went, Dong didn't know very well. after all, she didn't care if there was no trouble, but she didn't know until later, when the man followed her tongue, that these two had made such a joke.

According to Dong's thinking, taking care of the whole face, Zhang will just come. Why bother to bring out Qian who has just lost his adult?

And looking at Qian's dress, it is clear that he has not learned a lesson, and he is still very stingy.

But don't know that Zhang has a reason to bring Qian out.

Just after the banquet, while Ye Jiao was studying which dish was stewed ham and stewed chicken, she suddenly heard Zhang's voice: "daughter-in-law, are you sick again?" Let's just say that you are a two-body person now, so you can't eat at random. Come on, have some soup. It's light. "

As soon as these words came out, he let everyone look at Qian.

Generally speaking, it is nothing new to become a biological child. There will be everything you should have, but it is rare to say it so bluntly.

Especially now is the table to celebrate the starting price Saburo case, suddenly said that their own daughter-in-law is pregnant, it is inevitable that some inappropriate.

Now that they have said that, as the master's family, Liu cannot be indifferent, and he smiles faintly on his face and says with a faint smile, "it is a blessing to have a child, and it is also a blessing to import it." then he told Mrs. Liu, "go and cook her some noodles to save her a bad mouth."

Qian's cooperation bowed his head to say thank you, but his eyes were looking at Ye Jiao.

Zhang brought her here in the end why Qian did not know, but Qian was in order to stab Ye Jiao.

Her heart was haughty, but she felt that she could not compare with others everywhere, so she got angry.

But at a glance, found that Ye Jiao not only did not look at her, but also kept eating dishes with chopsticks, which seemed to be very enjoyable.

This made Qian tremble in the corners of his mouth and covered his mouth with a veil, which seemed to make him feel even more uncomfortable.

But Fang was disdainful of their pair. she might be a little stingy at home, but outside she always realized that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qi family, and she spoke and did things to protect her family. then he said to Mrs. Liu, "when I look at her, the harm is very serious, so don't use any chicken soup to cook noodles. She can't eat more vegetables, but plain noodles are comfortable."

It is said that Qian is hypocritical and can not be served well.

But Zhang didn't seem to recognize the dexterity inside, but smiled and looked particularly happy: "Yes, this day is boring, but it still takes a child to look lively. She hasn't moved before, but I thought it was a blessing, but luckily my daughter-in-law is blessed with luck."?.

But this sentence did not move Liu and Ye Jiao, but stabbed others in the heart.

Meng's son and daughter's fate was thin because of the struggle in the back house before. Now, when he heard this, he gently covered his face with a veil and covered her cold expression.

On the other side, Dong always wanted to have a child, but she didn't, which almost became something she talked about every day, and now her face sank and she lost her smile.

Ye Jiao is aware of Dong's heart disease, smell speech finally put down chopsticks, some worried looked at Dong: "are you all right?"

Dong smiled reluctantly, but he was in a bad mood.

Ye Jiao wanted to comfort her, so she reached out and covered Dong's wrist.

Who knows this grip, will feel some difference.

Ye Jiao blinked, changed her hand, pinched Dong's wrist carefully, and then widened her eyes in surprise.

The pulse is fluent and smooth, like a beaded jade plate, very much like the feeling of the little ginseng when he felt the pulse of the fox with leaves.

At that time, the little fox gave birth to a fat baby within a few months.

So now. Chunlan, this is, got it?

But at this time, do not know if it is really uncomfortable, Qian covered his mouth, his face turned pale.

Liu frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was worried or bored.

Coincidentally, someone came to Liu and said, "Ma'am, Li Lang is here, waiting on the porch."
