Qi Yun did not tell his family about the gold plaque, so no one knew about it except him and Tiezi.

It was still early. Liu was originally offering gifts to the Buddha. When he heard the noise, he asked Mrs. Liu to come and ask. When she heard that Mrs. Liu said that she was from the Yamen, Liu was startled and hurriedly helped Mrs. Liu out.

Before got to the gate, met Fang, who was in a hurry to get ahead.

Liu thought she knew something, and hurriedly asked, "what's the matter?" Why is there so much noise from the Yamen. Is it not that who in our family is involved in the lawsuit? "

When Fang heard this, he was suddenly in his heart.

It's not that she doesn't trust Qi Zhao. In fact, Fang knows that among the three Qi brothers, Qi Zhao seems to be the oldest and should have an idea, but in fact, Qi Zhao is the most honest and responsible one, cautious and kind-hearted. He never holds a grudge with others at ordinary times. I think there won't be anything wrong.

But when the matter came, the people of the Yamen were waiting in the front hall, and Erlang and his family were all on the mountain, and Saburo was studying in the city, so there was only Da Lang left in the family. If something really happened, it could only be Da Lang.

Fang had no idea in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he was, and his face was a little whiter than usual.

Liu saw her nervousness and knew in his heart that his big daughter-in-law looked extroverted. In fact, he was casual and timid. I was afraid that now he thought of something, so Liu no longer frightened her. He reached out and patted Fang's hand on the back of his hand and took her to the vestibule.

As soon as entered the door, saw the bright red in eyes.

Red has always been a festive color, but even during the Spring Festival, the Qi family has never been so decorated, and Liu looked at these attendants in red, and his servants were busy carrying incense cases, and did not understand the situation for a while.

Qi Zhao arrived early and was talking to Qi Yun, while Ye Jiao saw Liu and Fang, then supported Xiao Su and said, "Mother, sister-in-law."

As soon as Liu turned his head to see Ye Jiao, she was stupefied again.

In fact, Ye Jiao went up the mountain for less than two months, but her belly was much bigger than it was before she left.

Originally Little Ginseng was slim and not very obvious, but now the appearance of her belly is nothing on ordinary pregnant women, but it looks a little different here in Ye Jiao.

Seeing that Ye Jiao wanted to salute, Liu hurriedly reached out and gave her a hand: "Don't move, be careful. You are now a big month. Don't do these false courtesy, so you won't be tired." Then he waved to Xiao Su and said, "come on, go and get a chair for Niao Niang to sit down."

Ye Jiao pulled Xiao Su and said with a smile to Liu: "Niang, it doesn't matter. We have to prepare for some time. Let's go and sit together and wait. We don't have to move chairs specially."

Liu then remembered to take a fresh look at the attendants and asked in a low voice, "what on earth is going on?"

Ye Jiao just heard that Zhizhou told the whole story, and now she honestly said, "I heard the leading official say that the emperor thought the Qi family had contributed to disaster relief, so he wrote a plaque and sent it over."

The emperor, the plaque?

…… Royal pen?

Liu's figure flashed, and Mrs. Liu hurried up to hold her.

But this time Liu's face is ruddy and smiling. think he is not scared, but happy!

This emperor's imperial pen is no better than other objects, neither gold nor silver, but it is a face that cannot even be asked for.

Qi family ancestors three generations of farming, even though a large area of farmland and manor, but in the end was born as a farmer, now can get up is to rely on Jiro's shop, but that is the business of merchants.

Nowadays, the imperial court is doing a lot of business, but in the end, it is the literati who become officials. These people who do business and sit on Jia can only say that they enjoy wealth without discrimination, but when it comes to decency, there are far fewer scholars than scholars.

But now if there is this imperial pen title is different, even though the plaque is covered with red cloth, can not see the writing, but Liu guessed that it should be encouraged to praise.

No matter what the praise is, as long as you hang this plaque, even the officials will give the Qi family some thin noodles from now on!

This is not only glory, but also a signboard. The Qi family wants Shi Lai Yun Zhun (Lucky Dumplings).

At the thought of the benefits brought by this matter, Liu clasped Mrs. Liu's hand tightly and used all his strength to keep himself from getting too excited, but there was still a smile on his face.

The last time she smiled like this, it was when Ye Jiao was pregnant with Xubao.

Liu looked at Fang and Ye Jiao, and finally came to his senses and said again and again, "good, very good, fast, let them make their hands and feet a little quicker." Also, go and call his Lordship back and tell him it's a big deal! By the way, by the way, go and get a thick cushion, add a few more layers, and kneel later, so as not to make Niao Niang too uncomfortable. "

Mrs. Liu answered again and again, taking people to do it, but Fang didn't react for a while.

She looked blankly at her brother and sister-in-law and whispered, "is it really something from the emperor?"

Ye Jiao nodded, for the little ginseng, she did not think that the emperor had any gold, otherwise she would not have stuffed the dregs of Baihongguo with the dirt to that man in the first place.

But Fang had the benefit of hindsight and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. After his surprise, he smiled, and his round face flushed with delight.

If it is said that Fang would be distressed for the food given out before, now his heart does not hurt, his spirit is good, and he walks with the wind.

She also ran to pull the stone out so that her son would follow with joy.

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

Ye Jiao, on the other hand, walked slowly to one side and sat down, letting Xiao Su bring a snack and wait while eating, but everyone was busy, and she was too conspicuous when she was not delicious, so she occasionally held out her hand, pinched a piece of ice cream and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. and then put it down pretending to be nothing.

But as Xiao Su watched behind her, she felt that the second daughter-in-law had become more obvious in this way.

Especially the appearance of the bulging cheeks, anyone who sees it knows that he is stealing food.

The villain, who thought he was very hidden, patted the glutinous rice flour on his hand with a veil, looked left and right, then covered his mouth with a veil, and asked Xiao Su in a low voice, "Why don't you start?" If you wait any longer, I'm afraid Xu Bao will wake up. "

Xiao Su immediately bent down and replied in a low voice, "the young master has been carried away by Mo's mother. The second daughter-in-law doesn't have to worry. She should be waiting for his lordship now. He won't start until he comes back."

And Qi Fu is on his way to Zhuangzi right now.

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

The water has receded behind, but the seedlings have fallen a lot, which has been remedied by the tenants of the Qi family recently.

Today, Qi Fu is going to check the progress.

But without waiting for him to go out in his carriage, he saw someone running in front of them in the direction of his house. Father Qi was a little strange, so he asked the coachman to stop the car. after he got down, without waiting to ask, someone leaned over and said, "Master Qi, why are you still here?" Hurry back, something big has happened. "

Qi Fu hurriedly asked: "what a big deal!". Is it a second daughter-in-law? No, it's still months away. "

The man waved his hand and replied, "No, I heard people say that the Yamen sent something in the past, or something from the emperor!" Master Qi hurried back to receive the reward and congratulated Master Qi. "

As soon as Qi Fu heard this, he was still in the mood to go to Zhuangzi and said several times "the same joy and joy". Then he climbed directly into the carriage and urged people to hurry home.

As soon as he got home, he was held up by a young man waiting anxiously at the door and walked quickly into the door together.

In the vestibule, the Qi family had gathered together and arranged the incense case and the plaque. As soon as Qi Father entered the door, someone hugged him to the throne.

Then, it is to accept the imperial gift of a set of procedures, set incense cases, light incense, worship and kneel to thank God, and finally uncover the red cloth on the plaque.

Zhigao Xingjie.

Qi Jia looked surprised when he saw these four big characters, especially Qi Yun. Even though he knew that Chu Cheng granted a gold plaque, he did not know that he had sent these four words.

It is not an act of praise, but a reward of morality.

This is already a great honor, and it is of great significance to have this plaque.

Let's see who will look down on him because of his status as a businessman in the future.

It's just that Qi Yun doesn't know if Chu Chengyun thought about this when he was giving, but for Qi Yun, no matter what Chu Chengyun's original intention was, he wrote down this kindness.

After the imperial gift was completed, everyone got up, and Liu and Fang took Ye Jiao to have a rest, while Qi Fu smiled and beckoned the boys to go out to entertain guests and friends and hold a big banquet.

The cook is not enough to go to the restaurant to call the cook, he must put on a lively day running water table!

Not only to keep the onlookers from returning empty-handed, but more importantly, Qi Fu wants to show off that he has got the imperial pen.

This is an honor that no one has ever won in the eight townships or even the whole state capital. Qi Fu naturally needs to be proud of himself to be happy.

Shao Zhizhou did not leave immediately, not to get together in the Qi family to play the autumn wind, but he still had work to do.

Let someone come with Qi Ming's bookcase. Shao Zhizhou turned around on Qi Zhao and Qi Yun and chose to go to Qi Zhao.

In Shao Zhizhou's view, Qi Fu is old and does not care about things, and the big and small feelings in this family have always been managed by the eldest in the family.

Coupled with the previous disaster relief work, it was obviously done by Qi Zhao, the eldest brother, and only a few people knew that Qi Yun was taking all the ideas inside, so Shi Tianrui inquired so attentively and chose to entertain Qi Yun. Shao Zhizhou came in such a hurry just to pull Qi Zhao to say things.

The Lord Zhizhou was convinced that Qi Zhao was the one who got the emperor's green eyes, but he did not know what Qi Dalang was talking about.

Shao Zhizhou smiled particularly affably at Qi Zhao and said, "Qi Jia Dalang is young and talented. He knows at a glance that he is brave and resolute, and he is also broad-minded." The implication is to ask Qi Zhao not to care too much about what he has done before.

Qi Dalang did not understand any of the implications, but smiled heartily and said to Shao Zhizhou, "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, but Qi is too ashamed to deserve it."

"Qi Dalang does not have to be too modest. He must be able to make his family business so prosperous."

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

Shao Zhizhou smiled: "Qi Dalang is such a brother and brother, he is really a model for the people." Then, when Shao Zhizhou saw that he spoke politely, he thought that his persuasion had worked, and the smile on his face became more real. "before this officer caught a group of gangsters in the street and snatched a box and came back with the name of your mansion Saburo in it." the official wanted to send it back. "

On hearing this, Qi Zhao said hurriedly, "I thank you on behalf of my foolish brother for the hard work of adults."

"be polite."

"No matter what."

On the other hand, Tiezi's eyelids jumped as he heard it.

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

When turned around to see second young master, saw Qi Yun talking with Ye Jiao.

Tiezi asked Liusi, who stood obediently to one side, to take over the box cage, and then the two went to Qi Yun together.

Qi Erlang is patiently coaxing Ye Jiao to drink some Scald to warm up, but the villain is hot, and now it is summer, even if drinking Scald is good for the body, it is not necessarily comfortable, Ye Jiao has been hiding from drinking.

When she saw Tiezi and Liusi coming, Ye Jiao said hurriedly, "what are you carrying?"

Six thoughts stammer, do not like to talk, only eager to look at the iron.

Tiezi replied, "second daughter-in-law, this is the box cage used by the third young master to study. I lost it in the street before, but I just found it now."

As soon as she heard something from Qi Ming, Ye Jiao became interested. in order to avoid the water cup handed over by Qi Yun, she hid aside, pushed Qi Yun's hand away, and waved to Liusi: "that's just right. Let's see if the things inside are still there."

Qi Yun also saw it when he heard the words.

Although he thought that things would be lost and recovered, he just didn't think that Shao Zhizhou would react very quickly. I'm afraid he also saw the inscription on the inscription, and he was probably scared to run.

As for the contents, Qi Yun was convinced that Shao Zhizhou would not dare to buckle.

Since he was able to take the initiative to go down the steps, Qi Yun never thought that he really wanted to quarrel with Zhizhou, so he just uncovered the matter and went his own way.

Sure enough, Liusi opened it and looked at it and said, "back, back to the words of the second mistress, they were all here, but they didn't lose them."

Qi Yun thought, sure enough.

But just then, Liu Si looked at it again, took out a book of words, did not open it, but looked at it again in the box and then said, "lost …". Lost, three young men with calligraphy, bag, bag, gone. "

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

Liu Si shook his head again and again, "there are ears from the second mistress."

Ye Jiao remembered that she had indeed hit Saburo, which was a token of her heart, but if she lost it, it was nothing, just hit her again.

But Qi Erlang always cherished Ye Jiao, and whatever she did was as precious as a treasure to Qi Yun, so he let Tiezi go and ask.

Tiezi could not ask clearly, so he whispered a few words to Qi Zhao.

Qi Dalang was upright. He didn't turn a corner and asked directly, "Lord Zhizhou, I can't thank you enough for finding the box cage for your foolish brother. I just don't know if a cloth bag inside is still there."

When Qi Yun heard the words, Qi Yun saw it. Ye Jiao took the opportunity to pour the Scald in the cup aside and drank the warm honey water. Seeing that Qi Yun did not notice his little move, Ye Jiao smiled and bent her eyebrows and eyes, and only then did she look to Shao Zhizhou.

The next moment, Shao Zhizhou smiled and said, "well, this official remembers that there is a very ugly ear, probably lost, and the official thought that it was not an important object, so he did not pay attention to it."

The little ginseng was stupefied for a moment, then said nothing, but drank honey water silently, staring at the purse ear hanging by Qi Yun for a long time.

Qi Yun said nothing, still with a gentle look on his face, gently stroked Ye Jiao's back, and after hanging the plaque, he helped Ye Jiao go back to the yard to have a rest.

Because of Ye Jiao's heavy body, there is no need for her to worry about the running water mat in front of her, and it is natural for others to take care of it.

Ye Jiao didn't take what happened just now to heart, maybe she just heard someone say that she beat the ears ugly will be a little awkward, but the little ginseng is a mind-remembering, soon left behind, happy to accompany Xubao to play for a while and then went to sleep.

After she fell asleep, Qi Yun gave her a fan. When Ye Jiao fell asleep, Qi Yun gently put the fan down, went out to the outer room, sat down behind the desk, picked up his pen, and wrote a long letter to Ye Pingrong.

In the letter, first quoted from the classics to express the gratitude for Chu Chengyun, wrote particularly simple, although the words are wonderful but not so colorful to make people feel hypocritical, it looks particularly sincere.

Later, it was a turn of words and wrote about Qi Ming. Qi Erlang also described the matter in detail, and there was no omission of any details, especially about Shao Zhizhou and the Shao family. Qi Yun did not hide anything.

Then, with a cold look, he handed it to Tiezi: "Let someone send it to the general Ye's mansion in the capital. Go."
