Chapter 70
If it is said that Qi Jiasanlang's first name in the county test last time, others were just complimenting two words of Wen qu Xing's coming down to earth, and now Qi Ming only called the first name of the government test two months later, it would be really amazing.
After the arrival of the man who reported the good news, Qi Fu immediately gave a big banquet, regardless of how much money he spent.
Liu, who is usually very careful, is also very generous, and the smile on his face never stops.
Ye Jiao did not go with her this time, but stayed in the yard.
There were many people in front of her, and it was inevitable that there was a collision. Ye Jiao was not a temper who liked to stick in the crowd. Liu also took care of her and gave her a portion of all the dishes at the banquet, and the little ginseng was so happy that she didn't have to go to the front to join the excitement.
But just at the time of the banquet, Ye Pingrong came to see Ye Jiao.
At this moment, Ye Jiao was having a meal. When she saw her eldest brother coming, she said to Xiao Su, "go and add a pair of chopsticks."
Xiao Su answered and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Ye Pingrong was not polite with her sister. After sitting down, she put aside the box she was holding, and then accompanied Ye Jiao for lunch.
It's just that when he put down the chopsticks, Ye Jiao hadn't finished eating.
Ye Pingrong's worries are different from those of others. He is an unmarried man, and he is not clear about how much a woman eats when she is pregnant. He just looks at Ye Jiao's joy and follows her happiness, thinking that being able to eat is a blessing.
And Ye Jiao drank two bowls of sparerib soup before she was satisfied with the bowl and asked people to withdraw the table. Ye Pingrong looked at Ye Pingrong with a smile on her face: "Big Brother, what do you want with me today?"
"I sent my master here, and I came to see you, too." With that, Ye Pingrong handed the box in her hand to Ye Jiao.
Probably everyone who came to see her recently gave something. Ye Jiao was not much surprised this time. She smiled and thanked her, took it, opened it, and saw some toys that children like inside.
Although there are many things, it can be seen that they have been carefully sorted out.
On the left is the boy's favorite Ju pony, and on the right is the girl's favorite flower rope shuttlecock, which is specially well prepared.
Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to put it away, then smiled at Ye Pingrong and said, "there are still months to go before the baby is born, and the eldest brother is a little early to prepare."
Ye Pingrong looked at Ye Jiao gently. She obviously had a calm, cold and fierce temper in front of outsiders, but she even softened her voice in front of Ye Jiao: "I have something to do. When my nephew or niece is born, I'm afraid I haven't come back yet. I thought it was my uncle's intention to prepare the welcome gift early."
Even if Little Ginseng had never seen a woman give birth before, Liu and Fang were with her every day, and Ye Jiao could estimate that she had it in the first month. If she wanted to see the baby, it would be early in September and late in October, but it is not yet May yet.
According to this calculation, Ye Pingrong will be away for at least four months.
Little ginseng has a pure good temper, and she will remember who is good to her. if someone else is gone for four months, little ginseng will not care what he does, but after listening to Ye Pingrong's words, she is a little worried: "what will take so long?" it's not going to war again, is it? "
Seeing that she was worried, Ye Pingrong said hurriedly, "how can it be a war? now the border is stable. The previous battle can keep Rong Di from committing a crime for ten years. Even if the eldest brother wants to accumulate military skills, he does not have a chance."
As soon as she heard that she didn't have to go to war, Ye Jiao was relieved.
She could hear how taboo Ye Pingrong was about what she was going to do this time, and she didn't ask, but said, "that eldest brother must remember to take care of himself. If he really can't do it, he will resign and come back, even if he does some business."
Officialdom is not something that you don't do or don't do, just like Ye Pingrong. Even if he wants to give up his son now, the duan king won't let him go.
What we have to do this time is to go back to Beijing to see Prime Minister Meng, the prime minister of Yuezhang, the Duanwang king. Ye Pingrong does not know when he will be back.
He did not even know whether it was the cold frontier battlefield or the magnificent capital that was more dangerous.
But Ye Pingrong, whom Ye Jiao said, especially ironed, smiled and nodded: "well, if I really can't go on, I'll go to my little sister."
Ye Jiao also smiled and nodded.
But before Ye Pingrong left, Ye Jiao stopped him and also found a brocade bag with his own ears on it, ready to give it to Ye Pingrong.
But for some reason, the little ginseng still pinched a leaf of sprout grass and stuffed it in and gave it to him.
Ye Pingrong put it away and left.
The banquet in the front yard didn't break up until it was dark, and Liu went to the temple the next day, because she made a wish before the Qiming scientific examination, and now the wish came true. Saburo called the head of the case, and Liu naturally had to repay his wish.
Fang accompanied Liu to go together, can also be counted to keep up with the joy.
But Ye Jiao did not follow. after all, the incense in the temple was exuberant, but the smell could not be smelled by a person with a double body, so Liu let Ye Jiao stay at home.
Also staying at home is Qi Yun.
However, Qi Erlang today did not go to the study to deal with official business, but pulled Ye Jiao to walk back and forth in the garden at home.
"Mr. Xiang, why don't you just take a look around our own yard?" Although Ye Jiao likes to go out for a walk, she doesn't want to delay Qi Yun's affairs. "with Xiao Su, it doesn't matter for me to walk."
Qi Yun, on the other hand, tightened her hand with a smile and said slowly, "Li Langzhong told me last time that walking more is good for your health and saves you from tiredness."
Li Langzhong was extremely attentive to his own owner, and everything was in place. Qi Yun did not let him tell Ye Jiao all these things. Qi Erlang thought that it was hard for his wife to be pregnant, and there were many and miscellaneous things. Just remember it for her.
In Li Langzhong's advice, Ye Jiao's drowsiness was mentioned.
Compared with the other women, it was easy for Ye Jiao to just love Rest and suffered a lot less.
It's just that if you sleep more, you will inevitably be lazy and unwilling to move, but people who are pregnant will have more or less difficulty in life if they are less active.
Qi Yun remembered this, so he specially found time to accompany Ye Jiao to walk around. Moreover, the managers of various shops came to Qi's house yesterday to have a drink, and the jars of gold bottles brought back by Qi Yun were all emptied. Most of these managers went back when they were drunk, and most of them were not in the mood to discuss things today.
It is a fine day today. Taking his wife for a walk, Qi Yun is also at ease.
But as he walked, Qi Yun looked at Ye Jiao's hand and said, "where's Sprout Grass?" You always take it with you when you go out. "
Ye Jiao replied with a smile, "when he bears fruit, he doesn't have to bask in the sun."
Qi Yun nodded. Qi Yun did not ask what fruit it had borne, but breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The flowerpot is heavy. Ye Jiao always worries about holding it every day. It would be better to save it now.
The man let Ye Jiao hold her arm, and Ye Jiao was happy to lean on him. The two walked slowly in the long corridor of the garden. Ye Jiao also made her shadow stick to Qi Yun's shadow from time to time, and occasionally when the turns coincided, she could make the little ginseng smile.
This is obviously not a funny thing, but looking at Ye Jiaole, Qi Yun also bent the corners of his mouth, inexplicably happy.
Now that spring has returned to the earth, it is time for all things to recover, and the flowers and plants in the yard are also particularly brilliant.
Although Qi Yun was born weak and did not like to go out, the more bored he was, the more he liked the splendor outside, otherwise he would not have planted so many precious flowers in his yard.
Even when he is the most sick, he will find the opportunity to take a look at the flowers and plants.
It's just that now Ye Jiao has given Qi Yun sustenance, and his eyes are full of his own wife.
The newcomer changed the old flowers, all pushed to change the medicinal herbs, he is not distressed, now looking at both sides of the flowers and plants naturally do not have any appreciation of mind, full of Ye Jiao.
Little ginseng doesn't like these either. she's just happy to do something with Qi Yun.
Even if it's just a walk in the garden, it's fun.
At this time, a gust of Xu wind blew.
The wind in spring is different from that in winter.
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the wind blowing is cold, blowing on the body like a knife, blunt pain.
But in spring, no matter what the temperature is, it is always the spring breeze to send warmth, with people like the comfort.
Ye Jiao paused, poked her head out of the porch, turned to Qi Yun and said, "Xianggong, this weather is suitable for flying kites."
It is called a kite more than a paper kite without a whistle. It makes a loud noise when it is put up, which is very interesting.
When Qi Yun heard that he looked at Xiao Su, Xiao Su immediately replied, "the previous two are broken, and the color is not bright. In these two days, Tiezi and I will make another one."
Ye Jiao smiled, reached out and touched Xiao Su's hair: "remember to tie a whistle."
"I wrote it down."
Naturally, Qi Yun would not stop her from playing, but just told her, "you can fly a kite, but you can't move it. Just let them put it up and give it to you."
Knowing that he was worried that he would fall, Ye Jiao replied with a smile, "I don't want to put myself in the first place. I can't afford to run. I'll be happy when I run."
"Why is that?" Others like to fly kites to the sky, but when they get to their own wife, it becomes a chore.
Ye Jiao calmly replied, "I'm afraid of being tired."
Qi Yun could not help smiling: "how can I forget that my wife has always been afraid of tiredness, tired and bitter. I really can't imagine when I won't be afraid."
Little ginseng really thought about it carefully: "there are times when you are not afraid."
Qi Yun asked casually, "when?"
"when I was studying the book, I never said I was afraid of what my husband wanted."
Qi Yun:.
It is estimated that only the two of them can understand this, and no one else can understand it, but Qi Yun just unconsciously feels that he can be choked.
It is clear that everything has been done, and it is not impossible for him to make it bad, but every time he listens to Ye Jiao talking about it so calmly, Qi Jia Erlang feels his ears are burning.
With a slight cough, Qi Yun said softly, "you can't say that to others."
Ye Jiao also learned from him and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll only talk to you."
Qi Yun smiled and said nothing more, but after another walk, he still couldn't help saying, "We haven't finished our research yet. we'll think about it when the baby is born."
Ye Jiao answered, smiling on her face.
But with prestige, Ye Jiao could not help putting her hand on her stomach, touched it, and looked up at Qi Yun: "the last time Hui Niang came to me and talked about naming the child, I always forgot to ask, have you picked it up?"
Qi Yun nodded and said that naming the child was a big deal and should have been thought of early.
Although it is customary for a child to be named four months after he is born, there is no harm in preparing earlier. He told Ye Jiao, "if she is a daughter, her name is Qianer, which means good." If the son is arranged along the genealogy, when he comes to our child's generation, he should have reached the bamboo prefix, a single name and a strategy word. "
Ye Jiao was stupefied: "Bamboo prefix?" A small stone is clearly called a stone. Where did you get the bamboo? "
This amused Qi Erlang reached out to pinch her face, slowly said: "Stone is just a nickname, take a nickname easy to raise, his big name is Qi Benedict, take faithful meaning."
Today, it is the first time that Ye Jiao knows that stone has a big name. Stone people are used to it, but they don't mention it very much.
After thinking about the two words Qianheze that Qi Yun thought about, Ye Jiao didn't know whether the meaning was good or not. after all, it was not long before Little Renshen could read, and it was already a step forward, but since it was Qi Yun's, it couldn't be wrong. Ye Jiao read it smoothly, and there was a smile on his face.
But stone is a nickname, and their children should also have a nickname: "since the sister-in-law's child's name is Stone, what is our child's nickname?" Pebbles? "
Qi Yun's eyes jumped.
Although it is usually a cheap name and easy to support, if he gives birth to a child named Shizi, he is afraid that he will have to laugh a few times before shouting in the future.
With a slight cough, Qi Yun said, "the nickname is not urgent. Just take it after you are born." For fear that Ye Jiao would insist, Qi Yun changed the topic, "seeing that the weather is fine today, we might as well have some warm pots in the evening. How about I ask the kitchenette to make chicken soup?"
Ye Jiao laughed, nodded, touched her stomach, and temporarily shelved the idea of a nickname.
Turning another corner, Tiezi trotted over and said, "second Young Master, there is a woman in front of you who says she wants to see his master's house."
Qi Yun looked faint: "can you say whose family it belongs to?"
"No, but looking at the woman's dress is particularly eye-catching and colorful."
Nowadays, ordinary people wear plain clothes, and most of the brightly dressed people are rich, but rich people can not wear colorful effects, and most of them are aunts and aunts who are doing some things in the market. nowadays, ordinary people are plainly dressed, and most of them are rich and wealthy families, but they are mostly three aunts and six aunts who are doing some market things.
Qi Yun knew at a guess that it should be a matchmaker, but now Qi Sanlang is the only one who did not get married.
Do not want to refuse: "just say that the master's family is not here, each has his own business, let her come back another day."
Tiezi didn't ask any more questions. He answered and left quickly.
Ye Jiao was curious: "there are so many people at home these days. What do you do?"
Qi Yun continued to pull Ye Jiao forward, and his voice slowed down a bit: "our family is very eye-catching now. Saburo has taken the head of two cases. No matter what the future may be, there will be no small number of people who want to get married. Ordinary Niang and her sister-in-law are at home, so we don't have to worry about it if someone comes to the door, but if they happen to be absent, they will have to bring the matter to you. "
Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun: "Saburo is going to get married?"
"according to his mother's wishes, she was not happy to tell him her marriage so early." Qi Yun gently held Ye Jiao's waist and made her walk more easily.
Ye Jiao thought carefully about Qi Yun's words: "I listen to you. If, like today, my mother and sister-in-law were not here, I would not have seen anyone coming to the door."
Qi Yun nodded and smiled and said, "Jiao Niang is so clever."
But there is another word, Qi Yun did not say.
He married Ye Jiao, and Ye Jiao married him. In fact, the two could be regarded as blind marriages and dumb marriages. Even Qi Yun was a church worshiped by leaving books. If he hadn't heard Ye Jiao say that he was eating dirt in Ye's family at that time, Qi Yun was afraid that he would have taken out the book and left the book a long time ago. there will be no this jade-like lady.
It was a good marriage, and Qi Yun was even very lucky to have married Ye Jiao.
But not everyone has such good luck, and not everyone can have such good luck as Ye Jiao.
As a second elder brother, Qi Ming's marriage should not have been touched, and Ye Jiao did not understand it, so he left it to his parents.
He turned another corner and went to the yard where the family kept livestock.
The Qi family is a well-off family, and recently they have made a lot of money, so they have a lot of extra money to repair and repair.
The original livestock yard has been expanded, with additional fences and fences, which should be safe and sound.
But now there was something dark, standing proudly on the fence, walking in all directions.
Qi Huan paused and narrowed his eyes.
Ye Jiao looked along and was surprised: "isn't this Xiao Hei?"
When Blackie heard his name, he paused and looked down curiously.
Xiao Su saw that it had no desire for life, so she wanted to take something to blast it down!
Didn't you hear the second young master say you want to eat chicken soup in the evening? if you don't go, it will really be stewed!
But what Qi Yun had his eye on was not the meat of the rooster, but the hair on its tail.
The last time he stripped off his tail to make a kite, he was bald and his tail was bare. Were it not for his chicken crown, he would be no different from those hens.
But this time Qi Yun looked at Xiao Hei, but it was a beautiful tail feather, looking very arrogant.
Qi Yun suddenly looked at Ye Jiao: "Jiao Niang, didn't you say you wanted to fly a kite?"
Ye Jiao nodded.
"that's just right." Qi Yun looked at Xiao Hei. "his hair is growing out. Pull it out."
Xiao Su:. Ohh.
In the end, Blackie could not keep his tail hair and became a bald man again, but the speed of growing hair recently was much stronger than before, pulling it out and growing, just like leeks, taking stubble after crop.
There are seven or eight chicken feather shuttlecock alone, Ye Jiao thought. I'm afraid I won't be worried about shuttlecock kicking in the coming year.
The days are so leisurely and leisurely, in a flash, it is the height of summer, and the Qi family caravan is also on its way.
