When Qi Ming came home, he was silent, except for his own family, and did not alarm others.

He is no longer the teenager that no one knew at that time. He took the first two cases in his hand, plus the Qi family did not hide it at all, and each time he held a big banquet to celebrate. He basically knew that there was a Tianxiang Wenqu star in the Qi family.

If someone recognizes Qi Ming, he will probably gather around and ask for an ink treasure or something to go back, hoping that this will also make his children feel angry.

Especially when it comes to the Spring Festival, everyone is willing to ask for good luck. Qi Ming is like a mascot to them, and he is always willing to be close to him.

This time Qi Ming honestly huddled in the carriage and got off in front of the house. The first thing he did was to greet him in Liu's yard.

Qi Yun and Ye Jiao were also at Liu's place, waiting for him to go.

Ye Pingrong, a guest, was led to the vestibule and was served with hot tea and cakes.

Not long ago, Ye Pingrong came to the Qi family, but Ye Jiao, who mostly went to find him directly, came to the vestibule once. In a hurry at that time, he was accompanied by a small tail of Huanning. Ye Pingrong did not look at Qi's family carefully, but now he only felt that it was quiet and the boy was well-behaved. Although he was not a big family, the rules were strict.

This made Ye Pingrong feel relieved.

Then Qi Fu came out to see him. Qi Fu looked honest and honest, and he spoke and behaved with sincerity, and Ye Pingrong became more and more at ease.

Before going to the arranged courtyard to have a rest, Ye Pingrong met Liu again. After a polite conversation, he was finally relieved of the Qi family.

Perhaps others have long forgotten how Ye Jiao married, but Ye Pingrong remembers clearly the twists and turns of her sister's marriage.

Of course, this is the fault of Ye Erlang and Ye Ersao. The Qi family has no less three media and six employees, and what they should do is even more grand than that of others. Ye Jiao's life is also easy to watch, but Ye Pingrong will still be a little worried.

Even if there is no euphoria, it is easy to suffer if a peasant household woman marries well.

He always wants to support Ye Jiao and would rather cut off the relationship between Ye Eryi and Ye Jiao than let him come out to disturb Ye Jiao's days, all because Ye Pingrong is worried that the Qi family will be bad for Ye Jiao.

Even if Qi Yun is kind to her, the consultation of her family is not something that an ordinary woman can stand.

Ye Pingrong followed Chu Chengyun and met many Lord's families, even those who were powerful and mistreated their daughters-in-law.

What if it's in the royal family? Ye Pingrong can also find out about the fact that her princess was decayed by the queen.

But the Qi family is very good, Jiao Niang belongs to the high marriage is true, but looking at Qi Fu and Liu Shi can see that it is a family house in Nanning.

Life was easy after my sister came, and now the Qi family is getting better and better, Ye Pingrong thought. Now that she has got an errand, she can always give Ye Jiao's family someone to rely on, and her younger sister will have a better life in the future.

Just thinking, an entourage came in and saluted Ye Pingrong.

It was Liu Rong who usually followed Ye Pingrong, but Wang Ye could not be left unguarded, so Liu Rong stayed, and Ye Pingrong took only two men who were used to it.

At this time, Ye Pingrong lived in the small courtyard where the Qi family entertained guests. He looked at his entourage and said, "is anyone coming?"

"No, a few of the attendants only followed us to the gate, and they dispersed when we left the city."

Ye Pingrong nodded. In fact, what he was worried about was that the county prime minister in the city would come to the door. No matter it was temptation or flattery, it was always a troublesome matter. Now, when he looked at the county magistrate, he was still sensible, and without strong followers, he could be regarded as discerning.

Ye Pingrong, who was beside him, did not ask any more questions, waved them down too, and then blew out the candle to have a rest.

When woke up, it was already dawn and there was hustle and bustle outside.

Today is New Year's Eve. Everyone in the Qi family is busy.

Ye Jiao also remembered that last year, New Year's Eve, the whole family had to get together to make dumplings. She picked up Xu Bao early after lunch today, and sure enough, she saw that Liu had made people open.

There were a lot of things at the end of the year, but most of them were sweeping the house, giving money to their subordinates, or ending chores in Zhuangzi's shop, but there was no need for women to come forward.

But when it came to New Year's Eve, the cooks were busy, rolling out the skin and filling, preparing before dawn. When Ye Jiao passed, she had already prepared the things, and just waited for the owners to finally pack a bag.

And making dumplings is not only for making dumplings, but also for getting together to talk and pass the time.

Liu looked at Ye Jiao and beckoned her to sit over, but did not let her do it: "the Dalang family is going to pick up the tea, but it so happens that no one is looking at the stone, so you just stare at the two children, and you don't have to touch your hands."

Ye Jiao turned her head and saw that Fang was staring intently at the copper pot on the stove, while the stone, with a thick red rope tied to its waist, was sitting on the chair, staring longingly at herself.

The other end of the rope was tied to the leg of the table, probably for fear that he might run and bump. Even if a woman was watching, Fang was still worried, so he tied him up.

Liu felt helpless, but he didn't say anything. after all, the stone was too lively, and he had no temper to give up. He could run out on his own if he didn't like it, and it was normal for Fang to worry more.

But when Liu saw the expression on Ye Jiao's face that "it could still be like this", she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Ye Jiao washed her hands, took off her cloak, sat on a stool beside her, and amused them with stones and Xubao.

Xubao doesn't recognize students, and since the last time he saw the stone, Xubao seemed to remember him. He giggled when he saw the stone and reached out to touch his face.

The stone was touched by him, laughing with Xu Bao, and from time to time he would carefully touch Xu Bao's soft hair and poke Xu Bao on the forehead.

In Stone's heart, the fat brother was very pitiful and studied late into the night.

At least he is in the care of his mother, but his fat brother will be stared at by his cold uncle. Miserable.

This made the stone so humble that he gave it to his brother when kneading the dough and let him play with a cup first.

But Xu Bao was still young and didn't understand the meaning of the stone. He took the cup, held it in his little fat hand, and then threw it on the ground.

Wow!

The sound of the broken cup startled Xu Bao. Without waiting for others to say anything, he burst into tears and buried his face in Ye Jiao's arms.

Ye Jiao, unable to laugh or cry for a moment, reached out and patted him on the back: "you dropped something and didn't say anything about you. Why did you cry first?"

Xubao still could not understand what Ye Jiao said. He just hummed twice and was aggrieved.

Ye Jiao felt that her chest was wet, thinking that the human cub had a lot of tears.

Liu was very distressed, saying "broken and safe" and went over to coax Xu Bao and stone after patting the noodles on his hands.

Stone was actually scared, but when he saw Xu Bao crying, he was immediately distressed and felt sorry for his fat brother. He had to study and cry, and he was very tired.

When Ye Jiao put the two of them in a small wooden bed on the side, the stone comforted Xu Bao decently, while Xu Bao was unwilling to lie down. Although he still burst into tears, he soon devoted himself to the great cause of turning over.

Because Ye Jiao feeds well, Xubao has put on some weight, and it is true that he is strong, but it takes a lot of effort every time he wants to turn over.

As he was wheezing, Xubao soon couldn't even remember to cry and wanted to turn his mind upside down.

Stone just sat by and watched his chubby brother humming hard, which made the stone feel inexplicably inspirational, and he clapped his hands to cheer for Xubao.

Ye Jiao took the opportunity to make two dumplings to meet the occasion, and then went back to look at the two little guys.

By the time the dumplings were cooked and ready to be served, Xu Bao had fallen asleep on the bed.

He played for a long time and cried, all of which took a lot of effort, and he slept soundly.

The stone rubbed his eyes and slept next to Xubao.

Ye Jiao did not disturb them, wrapped it in a quilt and let the woman stare, so she went to eat.

Ye Pingrong ate the reunion dinner with them, and he sat with Qi Ming.

It is not that Ye Pingrong does not want to eat with her sister. On the one hand, Ye Jiao is now married to the Qi family, that is, the Qi family's wife. On the other hand, they are all in pairs. It is only appropriate for him and Qi Ming to be together.

When eating and talking, Ye Pingrong only said that he worked for the court and did not reveal anything about the three Wangye.

Although Liu does not know how big an official he is, as long as he is an official, it is good and reliable.

She couldn't help looking at Ye Jiao with a smile in her eyebrows, thinking that this daughter-in-law had married very well, and that she was really blessed behind.

When the dumplings were on the table, Ye Jiao thought about it with chopsticks and inevitably recalled the occasion when she ate dumplings last year.

At that time, little ginseng didn't understand the auspicious words in it, so he said everything he ate, but he ate one of them, so that Qi Sanlang, who was on one side, also wanted to eat a lottery. He unwittingly ate a plate and hummed straight at the end of the table.

At this moment, Ye Jiao thought to herself that she would just eat less, but when she really looked at the white dumplings, she couldn't stop her craving, and she was afraid of eating those with a lottery head. She waited for a long time before she carefully clipped one into her mouth and put it in her mouth.

After chewing, the little ginseng silently raised his hand to his lips, then put it down again, quietly, not even Qi Yun noticed.

But there are not only dumplings on the table, but also many dishes and soups.

When Qi Yun and Ye Jiao were eating together, it had become a habit for him to take care of his wife. At this time, he also put a chopstick of fish into a bowl, carefully picked out the fish bones with chopsticks, and then gave the fish to Ye Jiao.

The little ginseng was also impolite and ate the fish directly into his mouth.

After all, this is what happens to them every day, and naturally they don't feel anything different.

Fang, who was watching from the side, was a little hot-eyed.

Qi Jia Dalang naturally loves Fang very much, but Qi Zhao is very straight, and he is often busy with things in Zhuangzi, and the two couples seldom get together for dinner.

Whose wife doesn't like to let her husband love and spoil him more?

This may not have been thought of in the past, but now looking at the way Qi Yun took care of Ye Jiao's sweet honey, Fang thought about it.

But Fang also knew that his husband was a straight temper, so it must be useless to make a wink, so he gently kicked his calf under the table.

Who thought that Qi Zhao turned around and asked her, "Lady, why are you kicking me?"

In a word, Fang flushed and wanted to give him a hand.

Liu was able to guess some of Fang's thoughts, coughed and gave chopsticks to Qi Fu.

When Qi Zhao saw this, he knew that his mother was reminding herself and hurriedly clipped a chopstick to Fang.

But coincidentally, he had to choose braised pork.

The meat was well-cooked, the sauce was bright, and there were five flowers and three layers, which made him have an appetite, but Liu sighed in his heart.

Her eldest son is good at everything, diligent, honest and kind-hearted, but sometimes he can't see.

Fang had not touched meat for a long time, especially during the Spring Festival, for fear of growing more than one or two. after the meal began, she had not eaten a mouthful of meat on the table.

As a result, his son unexpectedly picked the fattest meat on the table for her to clip in the past, which is not to offend others.

But to Liu's surprise, instead of being annoyed, Fang had a smiling face.

Even though Fang was careful about his figure and didn't eat that, she immediately put the piece of meat from Qi Zhaojia into her mouth, eating and laughing. Although Qi Zhao didn't know what Fang was happy about, he was happy when he saw his wife happy. Fang ate all the chopsticks for her.

But these Qin Xue and Ming have nothing to do with Qi Ming.

Qi Jiasanlang ate dumplings silently, bemoaning his loneliness and bitterness, saying that he still had to take a good exam and study hard. His mother said that when he won the scholar, he would say kiss to him. He has to pass the exam for the sake of his wife.

When the meal was over, everyone went back to the yard to keep watch for the New year.

Xubao was taken away by Mrs. Liu to take care of her, while Ye Jiao went back to her room with Qi Yun. After a little washing and tidying up, Ye Jiao sat in front of the mirror with her hair in a bun. Looking at Qi Yun's vague reflection in the mirror, Ye Jiao smiled and asked, "what did you say to your third brother just now?"

Qi Yun stood behind Ye Jiao, picked up his hair comb, helped her through her hair, and replied, "it's nothing. I asked him about his studies. Sanlang is going to take an examination in the coming year. This step is not easy. The step is big, not compared to the previous two times. In addition to learning, it all depends on his luck. In the end, it all depends on his skills. Carelessly, I asked a few more questions, and I also urged him."

"he is sure to pass the exam." Ye Jiao said with certainty that she took off the earrings as she spoke.

Qi Yun reached out and rubbed her earlobe, curious: "Why are you so confident?" I thought that even Saburo himself dared not directly guarantee that he could pass the exam. "

Ye Jiao looked up at him with a soft waxy voice: "Saburo has been taught by you since he was a child. I believe in him. I'm sure you can teach him a champion."

In the heart of Little Ginseng, Qi Yun is the most capable person in the world.

Although Ye Jiao did not know Qi Ming's knowledge, Qi Sanlang was stared at by Qi Yun from an early age, and naturally he was able to pass the examination.

Ye Jiao has always had confidence in Qi Yun.

Hearing the words, Qi Yun could not help but bow his head, put his arms around the woman's shoulder, gently kissed her earlobe, and said with a smile, "do you know what is the Duke of the first Scholar?"

"I don't know. Anyway, my mother said that the best candidate in the exam was the number one. Sir, wait a minute. " Itchy by Qi Yun's breath, Ye Jiao could not help hiding back.

But the man stood behind her, and the more he hid, the more he got into his arms.

Feeling that the man bit his ear again, Ye Jiao stretched out her hand and pushed him: "the mother said that the end of the year is to watch the year, come on, we have to wait for the cannon to be fired."

Hearing the words, Qi Yun slightly loosened her, took a deep breath, then regained a peaceful smile, and took Ye Jiao to sit down on the soft couch to one side.

The candlelight was beating, the night was hazy, and the charcoal fire in the room was very warm.

The two sat facing each other like this, but after a while Ye Jiao felt a little bored.

Normally, when the two were together, it was Qi Yun who thought about what to do, either playing chess or drinking tea. Qi Yun always came up with an idea, and Ye Jiao just had to wait.

But this time Qi Yun said nothing and did nothing, but stared at her, and Ye Jiao found it boring over a long period of time.

She leaned her chin on the tatami table with her hands, looked at Qi Yun and murmured, "Xianggong, do something."

Qi Yun also leaned over, reached out and touched the tip of Ye Jiao's nose and asked her, "what does Jiao Niang want to do?"

The little ginseng thought about it, but couldn't come up with any good idea.

But there is only one thing that Qi Yun wants to do now. It is not easy for his son to go to bed early. Two people can hide and have a spare time. They no longer have to worry about waking him up. Qi Erlang is not prepared to miss the opportunity.

When he got off the bed, he went to the side of the shelf and took a book and put it on the tatami table.

Ye Jiao looked at it and saw that it was the book again. She could touch the cover with her eyes closed.

Qi Yun's face was serious: "it's still early in the day, and it's no fun to sit like this. why don't we play a game?"

Ye Jiao blinked and looked at him: "what game?"

"Jiao Niang, you can turn any page you want, and we'll study which page you go to, all right?"

Little ginseng didn't speak, but just stared at the book.

Qi Yun thought she was ashamed, so he coaxed softly, "yesterday Jiao Niang said she would supply me, but she hasn't made it up yet."

Who knows, Ye Jiao unexpectedly looked up at him solemnly: "I can turn the page, but if the page is too difficult to do, you can't force it, your body is important."

Qi Yun:.

Soon, Ye Jiao realized that it seemed that she should not have directly said that her husband was unworthy of justice.

Because what happened next proved that the husband could have done it, but it was so successful that she almost bit her lip when she was moved by emotion.

Fortunately, Qi Yun told her that Xu Bao was not in the room today, and the little ginseng was relieved and his voice was so broken that he could not hear him clearly.

When the sound of firecrackers sounded, Ye Jiao was lying vaguely on the bed, with water in her eyes, reaching for Qi Yun's shoulder, and her voice was a little vague: "Xiang Gong, firecrackers are going off.". "

"it doesn't matter. There will be another round later, and we can go and see it at that time."

". Then don't move. I'll take my time. "

"No, my wife said I couldn't do it, so we'd better practice more."

Little ginseng:.

In the end, Ye Jiao did not see the fireworks, but just went to the window to have a look at the fireworks, then hugged Qi Yun and fell asleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already dawn.

Qi Yun obviously woke up earlier than she did, and the charcoal stove in the room had been relit and warm, and when Ye Jiao opened the bed, she saw the well-dressed Qi Yun sitting at the table drinking tea.

When he saw her awake, he wanted to come over, but the door was buckled.

Qi Huan paused, closed the door of the inner room first, then went over and asked, "what's the matter?"

"the third young master just arrived and sent thirty big characters, saying that he wanted to thank the second young master for his advice. He would certainly work hard and live up to the expectations of the second young master."

When Ye Jiao in the inner room heard the words, she knew that when he was watching the new year yesterday, Qi Ming there was afraid that he had been writing all night.

There was a smile on her face, and when Qi Yun came over, she said to Qi Yun, "Saburo is really diligent. This is a good thing."

Qi Yun nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, he can only be rewarded if he works hard now. Naturally, he writes more for his own good."

"it's nice to be a husband." It is a good example of a good brother to always think about restraint and teach his younger brother.

Qi Yun accepted the compliment with a smile, dropped a kiss on Ye Jiao's forehead and whispered, "Jiao Niang had more rest. I was tired yesterday." On the other hand, I was thinking that there should always be some moderation next time.

Who knows, Ye Jiao reached out and touched his waist and replied softly, "my husband should have more rest. I'm not tired, you're tired."

Qi Yun's ears suddenly turned red and hurriedly straightened up and coughed.

Fortunately, Xiao Su came in with Xu Bao, and Little Pangdun was howling at the top of his voice. When he saw Ye Jiao, she held back her mouth and stretched out her hand, and she was hungry.

Ye Jiao carried him over to feed him, while Qi Yun took the opportunity to go out first. the cold early in the morning woke him up a lot. Qi Yun tightened his fur clothes, and then prepared to go to the study to get some books.

But as soon as walked out of the corridor, saw the manager Song, who was spinning anxiously outside the gate of the courtyard.

Song steward saw him, immediately came to the spirit, trotted over, want to say something, but still patient, saluted: "Happy New year to the boss, the boss happy New year."

Qi Yun saw that the manager of the Song Dynasty was afraid that he was in a hurry to find himself, but he also responded with a gift.

This kind of greeting is not only a matter of etiquette, but also a wish for good luck in the new year.

After the two people greeted each other, the manager of Song couldn't help it any longer, and his voice was low: "Young master, something has happened to the caravan."

Qi Yun frowned slightly between his eyebrows and turned sideways. "Let's go to the small room and say," Qi Yun said. "
