Qi Ming had been silent just now, and when Ye Pingrong came in, he just saw a courtesy, and then sat in his chair and was meditating.

As a matter of fact, he is thinking about the story in his heart, so he doesn't have anything to say when Xu Bao haunts him later.

It is obvious that Qi Ming needs to protect the dignity of his little uncle in front of Xubao.

Now when he suddenly saw the box handed over by Ye Pingrong, Qi Ming was stupefied at first, then showed a look of surprise, and then asked, "what is this for me, Brother Yi?"

Ye Pingrong shook her head and said, "I don't know." How could he open something given by the emperor?

Last time, the box of the long-life lock was accidentally opened, but this time Ye Pingrong was careful and didn't rub 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 was surprised and said, "is this a book of words?" Then he turned a few more pages and recognized, "this is the small letter of Zhong Shaojing, the Ling Fei Sutra." Brother Yi and I really have a connection, and he knows that I have been copying this recently. "

Qi Yun silently glanced at his third brother and thought, it is not the other people's magic, but all your big characters are now sent to the capital.

But Chu Chengyun unexpectedly had the patience to finish reading that pile of big characters, and Qi Yun suddenly felt that his third brother was only afraid that his third brother was more important in that man's heart than he had imagined.

Although this book is engraved out, but it has always been precious, the authentic is difficult to find, even if the number of engraving is not many, can get a copy is excellent.

Qi Yun thought that the man who treated his third brother was really good. This post is not worth much, but it is very useful.

Just then, Qi Ming gave a "hey", and then smiled at the eight words on the title page and said, "Brother Yi, the word is getting better and better."

Smelling Yan, Qi Ming and Ye Pingrong both looked at it and soon saw the words written in the book.

The night curtains will fight hardships, and they will work tirelessly.

There is also a red seal on the back, probably a private seal, with only two words.

Be careful to be alone.

Chu Chengyun's good intentions can be seen from the seal alone.

Both of them had seen Chu Chengyun's handwriting and looked at each other. Ye Pingrong and Qi Yun were surprised from each other's eyes.

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

Qi Ming always worships Chu Chengyun's literary talent, especially Chu Chengyun's good characters, which he likes most and is highly respected.

Before Qi Yun thought of asking Chu Cheng to allow his golden bottle of wine to write an inscription, which was recommended by Qi Ming.

When he picked up the book and looked left and right, Qi Ming only felt that no matter how he looked at the eight words, he could not finish his praise. He looked at it for a long time before he said, "such a good word is rare." When I see Brother Yi again later, I must ask him to write me a book. "

Ye Pingrong directly covered her mouth with her hand: "ahem."

Qi Yun reached out and patted his younger brother on the head: "the third younger brother speaks carefully."

Let Chu Chengyun write to you, thanks to your idea. It happened that Qi Ming knew nothing, and Qi Yun could only think about these words and could not say them.

But Ye Jiao didn't think so much. She leaned over and had a look. "it's good-looking," she said with a smile. "

In fact, Ye Jiao could not tell whether the characters were good or bad before, but she still practices them for half an hour every day. Even though her characters are more round, Ye Jiao also knows that it is not easy to write square characters.

Chu Chengyun probably writes with great care, and every word is correct and full.

Just took them apart, Ye Jiao knew them, but together they didn't understand what it meant. The little ginseng turned his head to Qi Ming and said, "Saburo, what are you talking about?"

Qi Ming was happy, and his voice jumped with him: "these words mean that I should get up early and go to bed late, study hard and work harder."

Ye Pingrong actually did not quite understand. After listening to Qi Ming's words, he nodded, thinking in his heart that the emperor really liked Qi Ming and expected more of him than others.

On the other hand, Qi Yun picked up the tea, then put it down and said to Qi Ming, "what the third Childe said is that the third younger brother, the way of scientific research, is that ten thousand people cross the single-log bridge, and few of them can walk there, so naturally they have to work harder."

Qi Ming only thought that his brother was encouraging himself. He just looked at the calligraphy and nodded with a smile.

But Qi Yun said, "then do it. I used to be the same. My third brother will naturally work harder than me." then Qi Yun looked aside at Liushiro, "go back and keep an eye on Dian Saburo, don't let him go out and run around, get up early and go to bed late. Work hard. If he slackens, write back and tell me."

Qi Ming:.

Just now felt that the excellent calligraphy suddenly became hot. Qi Ming wanted to say that he also wanted to go out and play. Even if the book was good, he had been bored in the acade for several months. How nice it was outside.

But without waiting for him to speak, he saw Ye Jiao, who had just leaned over to read the script, got up with a smile, went to Qi Yun and took Qi Yun's hand. "Xianggong is really a good man," she said in a soft voice. "

Ye Pingrong also nodded and sighed with sincere emotion: "it is really rare for my brother-in-law to be upright and for his family and country, and to be able to urge his younger brother from time to time."

Liusi also nodded, but he still stuttered a little and didn't open his mouth. He just stared at Qi Ming and seemed to tell him with his eyes that it was good to read well, but it was better to go out and play.

For a moment, Qi Ming did not know whether brother Yi dug the hole or whether he dug it for himself.

Qi Yun hugged Xu Bao tightly and knew he was sleepy when he looked at his fat son rubbing his eyes. He hugged him more tightly and gave a hand to pat Xu Bao on the back to coax him. His eyes looked at Qi Ming, and his voice was low: "you must cherish this book and put it away." No, take it with you. "

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

Qi Yun couldn't help thinking that it was probably a fool's blessing that his younger brother had won a righteous brother all over the world before he gained fame.

However, even if Qi Yun did not instruct him, Qi Ming would not casually put his brother's calligraphy at random.

He nodded, then cheered up, stood up and said, "Brother Ye, just wait. I'll answer a letter to my brother. Besides, I've written several poems recently, all of which are good. I'll make a copy and bring it to my brother."

Ye Pingrong followed Qi Ming to the study, while Ye Jiao sat next to Qi Yun, holding her chin and didn't know what she was thinking.

Having coaxed Xu Bao, Qi Erlang gave Xu Bao to Mrs. Mo to take it away. it was only then that he reached out and hugged his wife and asked softly, "what are you thinking about?"

Ye Jiao looked at him, blinked and asked, "Xiang Gong, did you have to study hard at night?"

Of course, no.

Qi Yun has been a sick boy since childhood. This book is not something he likes to read, but because when he is in unbearable pain, he can't go out, and he is often ill in bed. He has no other pastime except reading.

Even if can't sleep at night, feel sick. can only read and talk.

Qi Yun never hid anything from Ye Jiao and whispered, "it was because I was unhappy, but I won't do it anymore."

"No more reading at night?"

"well, if you don't read it, why bother to think about it when you have a wife?"

The little ginseng blinked and suddenly said, "I don't believe it. It's clear that you work hard with me to study books at night."

Qi Yun was stupefied for a moment, and the next second he reflected that this book was not that book.

The tip of his ear suddenly turned red, and because Xiao Su and Tiezi were all around, Qi Yun could not say anything more, so he tilted his head slightly and leaned close to Ye Jiao's ear and said, "if I were to study with my wife, I would certainly be very happy."

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

It's just that Tiezi didn't stare at his master all the time, but rubbed up against Xiao Su and looked at her with a smile.

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

Tiezi was still smiling, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, but he felt happy when he saw Xiao Su. When he was happy, he wanted to laugh, and he couldn't help it.

Probably because he had been together all the time and couldn't feel any change, he suddenly walked for several months before he came back, and he felt that Xiao Su was different from before.

A little taller and much more crisp, she used to be a little girl who spoke at a low octave, but now she looks like a newly grown willow, slim and straight.

Xiao Su, on the other hand, has held her head high since the last time she played fragrant grass, often making people grow up, and today's little girls have more ideas than before.

Seeing that Tiezi had been silent at this time, Xiao Su thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "is the kneepad easy to use?"

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

Xiao Su looked at him and said, "it's a hot day. I don't believe you're carrying it."

Who knows, Tiezi really patted his knee, and Xiao Su obviously saw the shape of knee pads in his trouser legs.

I can't believe you really have it!

Now it is March, and the weather is warm, Xiao Su can't help but open her eyes and wonder if this man is stupid.

Tiezi was unaware of it, and still smiled and said to her, "the young master gave me a name, Xiao Su, and then you call me Brother Jeong."

Brother Zheng, it is shorter than "Brother Iron".

Xiao Su nodded and shouted softly: "Brother clank."

It was clearly just a name, but Tiezi seemed to have been burnt with sugar. He laughed a little silly and answered with a clear answer: "Hey!"

Xiao Su didn't know what he was happy about, but when she saw Tiezi laughing, she also bent the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, a boy came in outside.

Tiezi stopped talking with Xiao Su for a moment, walked quickly over, asked a few questions, then went into the hall and said to Qi Yun, "second young master, the Fang family sent someone to talk to the young lady."

Qi Yun never asked more questions about Qi Zhao. Even though the three brothers were close to each other, Qi Zhao was in no mood to pry into other people's private affairs, so he said, "Let the boy find his sister-in-law." if you don't see it, just listen to your sister-in-law's own arrangement. "

When the boy went to find Fang, Fang was in the yard preparing clothes for Qi Zhao.

In March and spring, for others, it is most comfortable to enjoy peach blossoms and taste wine, but for Qi Zhao, Zhuangzi is the busiest at this time. In previous years, Qi Zhao would go to live on Zhuangzi for a while.

Fang used to go with him, but now that she has the stone, she is busy finding a school for the stone and is ready to stay at home.

When he heard that his mother's family was coming, Fang did not let them in, but said to the young man, "tell them that I have gone to Zhuangzi with Da Lang. I am not at home. I am afraid I will have to wait ten and a half days to come back."

The boy didn't ask much, wrote it down and left, while Qi Zhao, who was playing with the stone, looked at Fang strangely: "Lady, do you want to go with me?" Then who will find a school for Stone? "

Fang was picking up the clothes he wanted to bring to Qi Zhao. He bowed his head slightly and replied, "I'm not going with you. I just blocked my brother and brother with words and asked them to go back. Don't always think about working on me."

Qi Zhao was willing to ask what had happened, but his son was still looking 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 well, your mother will check it later."

Stone:.

Then Qi Zhao went over and sat next to Fang and asked her what had happened.

Fang would not have told Qi Zhao about her mother's family, but this time she didn't hide anything: "I'm afraid they may ask you in the future. Please remember, don't say yes."

"what's the matter?"

Fang looked back at the stone that was writing obediently with a brush, and then he took Qi Zhao to the outer room. After sitting down, he said, "after the Spring Festival, my brother has been looking for me and asked me to find a way to get in touch with my second brother."

Qi Zhao was puzzled: "your brother is a scholar, and your second brother is a businessman. How can you let them be dignified?"

Fang said angrily, "I don't know where he heard about the relationship. He climbed to a distant relative who knows the state. The distant relative who knows the state is surnamed Shao. He does business in the city, especially in the wine shop and restaurant. Now that the second younger brother's shop is booming, my brother is thinking that he wants his second younger brother to make a profit to the Shao family. In fact, it is for his own consideration."?.

Whether it is to donate officials or to sell well, it is always for their own son, did not consider the Qi family at all.

If the Shao family really wants to consult with Qi Yun, it is for themselves, why do they have to turn around and entrust people?

Qi Zhao was stupefied for a moment, and then reflected that whether this excuse is true or false, in the final analysis, it is only for money.

Or take the money out of the second brother's pocket.

It's just that the bend made by his uncle and brother was really a bit big, and he came up with a way to ask his sister-in-law to find his brother-in-law to make a profit to an outsider.

Without waiting for Qi Dalang to say anything, Fang went on to say, "if he wants to find something to do, I can help. After all, I am a relative. I will do whatever he can." But he is clearly flattering others, but he wants me to use my own face to ask my second brother for benefits and to block his pit. This is called being generous at the expense of others, it is selfish, and it will ruin your Brotherhood. I don't want to see them because I don't want me to have a good time. "

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

If her brother and sister-in-law are so short of money, it is OK for her to try to find some ways to help them solve their urgent needs. even if she is begging her mother-in-law, she will try her best to ask for it.

But now it is clear that the family is wishful thinking, want to benefit from their own, but do not think about themselves, Fang is not dough temper, naturally is not happy.

If she doesn't go back to her face, she is already worried about the relationship between brother and sister. if there are many, she won't do anything.

Qi Zhao blinked and looked at Fang with such determination.

So that Fang did not pick up and took a look at him: "Why do you always look at me like that?"

Qi Zhao looked at her with a smile and said, "I think my wife is good. It's really nice."

Fang's face flushed and beat him.

However, more than two people did not say that, after all, it was Fang's family. Qi Zhao could not say good or bad, so he just wrote it down and walked around recently.

On the other hand, Fang picked up the stone and went to Liu's yard after getting the baggage for Qi Zhao.

Ye Jiao is also with Liu at the moment.

Xubao slept for a while and then woke up. He didn't take a long nap. Sometimes he opened his eyes before Ye Jiao woke up.

This time Ye Jiao managed to get out of the yard, thinking that she hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time, so she came with Qi Yun and Xubao.

However, Qi Yun did not stay long to talk to Ye Pingrong, leaving Liu and Ye Jiao sitting next to the soft couch, while Xubao was eating milk cakes on the soft couch, his eyes narrowing with laughter.

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

Stone also missed him, kicked his shoes on the soft couch, and soon hugged Xu Bao into a ball, that is, when Xu Bao smiled and hugged his arm, the stone's little brow tightened.

Before Fang sat down to catch his breath, he saw the stone grabbing Liu's hand with a shriveled mouth.

People of the other generation are always very close, and so is Liu.

Although after having Xubao, Liu did not spoil the stone as much as before, but she also treated her grandchildren like a bowl of water, hurting this and that.

Now seeing Xu Bao pulling himself, Liu immediately grabbed the stone's small hand and asked with a smile, "what's wrong with the stone?"

The stone shook his arm and said, "sour, grandma rubbed it."

When Fang saw this, he said, "probably I've been practicing a lot of calligraphy in recent days, and it doesn't matter."

Liu could also tell that the stone was acting like a spoiled child, and most of it was not really sour, but Liu was still soft-hearted, so he immediately reached out to let the stone lie down, and then pinched his arm for the stone and said, "he is still young, and he is in no hurry to read and read for a while. Take your time."

Fang smiled, but she didn't really write down what she should write, so that she wouldn't be fooled by her son.

The stone lay obediently, watching Liu rub his arm and suddenly found the feeling that his grandmother spoiled him alone.

On one side, Xu Bao was grabbing the milk cake to eat. Seeing this, he looked at Liu, then looked at the stone, and then stuffed the rest of the milk cake into his mouth.

Then he lay down straight.

Xiao Pang twisted his body, first rolled around in place, and then rubbed against Ye Jiao.

In response to Ye Jiao's puzzled expression, Xubao said softly, "Niang, rub it."

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

Liu, in particular, smiled from ear to ear: "this child learns things quickly and knows how to argue."

Ye Jiao held out her hand and hesitated for a moment, thinking that her son did not write and her arms would not be sore, so rub it casually.

As a result, Xiao Xubao was rubbed by his mother and rolled several times on the soft couch, but he was still happy. When Ye Jiao withdrew his hand, he also continued to roll around, then rubbed against the stone and hugged it.

And the younger brother, who never refused the smell of milk, grabbed Xubao's hand, forgot for a moment that his arms were sore, and sat up to play ball with Xubao.

When the two children go to play by themselves, the adults will have time to have some tea and something to eat.

As the weather turned warmer and the flowers were in full bloom, Liu thought of going out for a walk sometime. Ye Jiao could not walk around too much now, but the garden on the mountain was almost ready, and it was just right for Liu to go over and have a look, which was all the filial piety of Qi Yun.

Liu was naturally happy and was about to agree, but he heard a burst of thunder outside.

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

Liu looked at her and asked, "what's the matter?"

Ye Jiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "it feels like it's going to rain." The voice paused slightly, "it's raining heavily."

She has been in the mountains for a thousand years, and don't know how much she has seen in spring and winter snow.

At that time, the little ginseng never turned into a human form, regardless of whether it was witty or not, the Noumenon was always personal ginseng essence, growing in the ground, it would be stuffy when it snowed, and it would hold back when it rained. Even if the ginseng could not run fast with long legs, it had to rely on heaven for food. When it comes to weather changes, little ginseng naturally needs to be prepared in advance.

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

When it rained and snowed before, the movement was small. Ye Jiao had no feelings, but found it interesting.

This time was different. Ye Jiao helped Xiao Su to the door to have a look. Even if there was not a drop of rain in the sky, she thought it would be heavy rain.

Liu and Fang do not know whether it is true or not, but the thunder is true, no matter whether the rain is heavy or small, it is always right to prepare early.

Just in case, Liu sent people to collect all the things they put in the yard, and the flowers outside had to be watered with coarse cloth to block the province, and Rain Water of wood province was padded on the cellar. On the other hand, Fang went back to tell Qi Zhao that he would not go to Zhuangzi for the time being, but just asked someone to send a message to the tenants to be careful.

That night, it rained heavily and the ladle splashed like a pillar, but it didn't stop until it had been raining for ten days in a row.
