This voice shouted Chu Chengyun confused, did not reflect what happened, only instinctively clung to the small Xubao not to let him fall.

But Xubao's voice did not attract much attention from others, because the time coincided with the opening of the tribute courtyard, and the people in the courtyard came out, and one or two of them looked very tired, and the parents and servants who came to pick them up were watching closely, looking for their own families, and naturally they would not notice the situation on Qi's side.

The only people who really care about the Qi family are their own people.

Women needless to say, their duty is to protect the young master, no matter what others say, now when Xu Bao is in trouble, they naturally want to go up and help, and Xiao Su hesitates for a moment and chooses to "save" Xu Bao in the past.

But one step faster than them is Ye Jiao on the car.

Originally, little ginseng was half asleep and half awake, but he was awakened by his fat son with a loud voice.

With little time to think, Ye Jiao pushed open the door of the car, jumped out of the car, and snatched Xubao into her arms without even looking at it.

Then, when Ye Jiao saw the dazed look on Chu Chengyun's face, she was stupefied for a moment.

Looking down at the little fat boy who was lying in his arms particularly aggrieved, Ye Jiao shook him and said, "Xubao, what did you just shout?"

Xubao tightly hugged Ye Jiao's neck, smelled the words, and replied softly: "Dad said, there will be bad guys to kidnap Xubao away."

Chu Chengyun's eyes looked at Xubao and finally made sure that he had heard correctly just now.

He really said he was a bad guy.

What's wrong with me?

Ye Jiao remembered what she heard when she changed clothes. Even though she was behind the screen at that time, she could still hear Qi Yun's advice to her son.

Ye Jiao doesn't know what happened, but this one won't be a bad guy.

However, Ye Jiao did not know how to explain to Xubao, so she could only say, "he will not kidnap Xubao, he is …" He is your aunt's brother. "

Upon hearing this, Xu Bao straightened his back and looked at Ye Jiao with round eyes: "Aunt?" Is it the golden aunt? "

Ye Jiao smiled at the words.

Obviously Huanning's practice of stuffing small gold ingots to the children has been firmly remembered by Xubao, and the little ginseng did not point out, but responded with a smile: "Yes, that's the aunt."

Xubao's eyes lit up.

Xubao is very fond of Huanning, not only because of the good relationship between Huanning and Ye Jiao, but also because Huanning is cheerful, fun and active, and he likes to play with the children when he comes to Qi's home. Xu Bao naturally remembers clearly when he sees that she has seen a lot.

Since Chu Chengyun was his aunt's brother, Xu Bao turned his head and looked at him happily, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, and his agreeable appearance completely ignored the vigilance and panic he had just seen.

But Xu Bao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what his name was, and he looked at Ye Jiao.

It's just that it's a bit confusing to call Ye Jiao, even if she has been a person for such a long time, she has not sorted out these complicated kinship.

Fortunately, there were several wives around, and one of them leaned up and whispered, "Uncle, too."

Xubao heard this, and without waiting for Ye Jiao to open her mouth, she shouted softly, "Hello, Uncle."

This identity is a little complicated, but also some suddenly, Chu Chengyun thought about it before he realized that he could get rid of the bad guy identity by relying on the identity of Princess Huanning.

It's just that he can't directly say that he is an emperor, and emperors are not all good things. Compared with this, he might as well use the relationship of Hua Ning.

When Xu Bao saw that he did not respond, he felt that he had scared others just now, and he was a little embarrassed.

The little guy is young now, but there are parents who love each other but stick together at home, and there are brothers and sisters who are soft and can't even speak. Xubao knew how to comfort others and be good to himself at a very young age.

So he directly twisted his body and stretched out his hand and said to Chu Chengyun, "give me a hug, uncle."

In a word, it is called softening Chu Chengyun's heart.

His Majesty was coaxed by Xubao almost before he remembered that he was angry.

When Qi Yun and Ye Pingrong came back, Xu Bao had already grabbed Chu Chengyun's clothes, and his uncles and uncles shouted them away.

Qi Yun had no idea that his son had recognized an emperor as his uncle, but now was obviously not the time to ask these questions. He suppressed his doubts, grabbed Ye Jiao's hand and whispered, "Why are you coming down?"

Ye Jiao pinched Qi Yun's fingertips to signal that he was all right, and the temperature was soft: "Xu Bao called it down." Then Ye Jiao's eyes turned to Ye Pingrong, her eyebrows bent, "Big Brother."

Although Ye Pingrong usually treats outsiders with cold words, and her face is as hard as a wooden board, whenever she encounters Ye Jiao, she can soften her eyebrows and eyes, warm her voice, and even soften her tone: "Niang Niang, is it cold?" It's not warm yet. You should wear more clothes. "

Ye Jiao skillfully shook her head and said, "it's not cold." But soon she looked at Qi Yun, "are you cold, husband?" There is a cloak on the carriage. Put some on. It's windy. "

Qi Yun clasped Ye Jiao's hand, eyebrows and eyes were soft only to Ye Jiao, and softly replied, "it's not cold, don't worry."

And Ye Pingrong looked at the little couple, both gratified and missed.

Gratified by their husband and wife's happiness, missing is that he misses Huanning.

At this time, only Liusi, who followed the carriage, saw Qi Ming walk out of the gate of Gongyuan!

Liu Si had originally stepped on a square stone and looked at it, but when he saw Qi Ming, he immediately jumped off the stone and wanted to tell Qi Yun, but the more nervous he stuttered, the more he could not speak. He just turned his head and ran towards Qi Ming.

Qi Sanlang did not find the Qi family's carriage, not that the place chosen by Qi Xun was too partial, but that Qi Ming was already exhausted.

Crouching in that cage-like cell for nine days in a row, even if he stood up, he would be stared at by the invigilator. Even if he was well prepared, he could not eat and sleep soundly. Coupled with the recent drizzle and cold wind, he could only rely on heavy clothes to resist the chill. All this makes Qi Ming feel that he is several years older.

Others say that the road to the imperial examination is hard, but in fact, Qi Ming did not have a deep experience before.

Even when his second brother was better, he was determined not to enter the official career. Qi Ming was a little puzzled. After all, in Qi Sanlang's mind, Qi Yun was omnipotent. Even if he could get into the examination all the way, the second elder brother must also be able to do so.

But after these nine days of hardship, Qi Ming finally realized that the most rational was the second elder brother.

Not to mention the dangers and hardships that an official has to face after being an official, the torment of the past few days alone is not something that his second brother's frail body can bear.

You might as well make more money and live a good life. However, it is not easy for the rich and wealthy businessmen in the history books to come to a good end. most of them are maintained by people in the court or by the royal royals. although their second brother has a gold plaque, what if there is no one to rely on in the royal family?

For a moment, Qi Ming, who had been confused by the exam, suddenly had an inexplicable sense of responsibility.

I should work hard and be an official well, so that I can protect the whole family and the second elder brother.

Moreover, the second elder brother can have a wife like the second sister-in-law, this life is enough.

When he thought of this, Qi Ming suddenly thought of what Liu had said to him that he wanted to see his wife. He couldn't help blushing and wondering if he could be good and good if he passed the exam. He also wants someone to feed sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Just as he was thinking, Qi Ming heard someone shout to himself: "Saburo!"

Qi Ming turned around and saw Wen Liulang with a bright smile on his face.

Originally, Qi Ming did not know Wen Jialiulang, but he lived close. Coupled with Wen Liulang's intention to be close, he became acquainted with Wen Liulang these days. Although Wen Liulang ranked sixth, after he separated, Wen Liulang was the eldest of the neighbor Wen's eldest of the three brothers.

Qi Ming has always been warm to people. When he saw Wen Liulang, he smiled and said, "Brother Wen."

Wen Liulang is handsome and tall, but his thin lips look a little faint, and when he laughs up, he is very enthusiastic: "Don't be so polite, Saburo, how did you do in the exam?"

Speaking of this, Qi Ming shook his head: "not good."

Although the questions of these three exams all made him feel something in his heart, it was precisely because he had some feelings that Qi Ming felt that he could not touch the bottom.

If you wrap it with beautiful articles as before, even if you don't get the first name, it won't be brushed off.

But now every word means something. If it meets the examiner's appetite, it will soar into the sky, but if it does not fit, you will not be able to see the shadow of being demoted.

Worried in his heart, there was a bit of frustration on his face. Qi Ming sighed a long sigh and said, "it's just a difference, it all depends on destiny."

Seeing him like this, Wen Liulang's face flashed with pride.

After the Qi family moved here, the name of Qi Sanlang Xiao Sanyuan was spread, and the neighbors praised him a lot, but made Wen Liulang angry.

Originally, everyone said that Wen Liulang had a good composition and good knowledge, but as a result, such a half-big boy suppressed him, and Wen Liulang naturally did not want to.

As a result, when he heard that Qi Sanlang did not do well in the exam, Wen Liulang was naturally happy, and his tone also rose: "Don't worry about Sanlang. At the worst, you can start all over again, and you can still continue to take the exam for another three years. Although I think it's well written, I'm not sure I can win it. Saburo, you don't have to worry too much about it. "

Qi Ming did not recognize the schadenfreude in this remark, but looked up at him and said sincerely, "then wish Brother Wen the title first."

Wen Liulang smiled and said, "thanks to your lucky words."

Just then, Liu Si had trotted in front of the two men. He reached out and took the book basket and the burden of quilt clothes carried by Qi Ming, and then said to Qi Ming, "three, three. The second young master and the second young daughter-in-law are right over there, waiting for you. "

Qi Ming looked up and looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw his own carriage.

But before he could open his mouth, Wen Liulang was surprised to ask, "Saburo, why do you keep such an inarticulate bookboy?" Aren't you afraid to delay things? "

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming glanced at Wen Liulang.

In fact, according to Wen Liulang's temperament, he had always been able to put on airs, but now he was able to tell the truth only because he looked at Qi Ming's good temper and was sure that he would not be angry, so he asked casually.

I don't know if Qi Sanlang has a good temper and little knowledge, but his temper is the stubbornness and protection of the Qi family.

Without saying much, Qi Sanlang looked again at Liusi, stretched out his hand and took him by the arm and said, "OK, I see. Liusi, please take me there. I don't see them. Go quickly. I'm very hungry."

This is Qi Ming told a lie, in order to make his little bookboy happy.

Sure enough, Liusi, who had just shrunk because of Wen Liulang's words, immediately raised his head and grabbed Qi Ming's wrist and said, "Master, Mo, don't worry, hold me tight, don't get separated, I'll take you there."

Qi Ming also politely said to Wen Liulang: "good-bye." That's how I left.

But not waiting to go far, he heard behind him, Wen Liulang's young man said, "six Childe, his wife's carriage is waiting over there."

And Wen Liulang came with a voice of boredom: "it's just a steproom. It's just a pressure on my mother everywhere. Why do you want to steal my thunder at a time like this? why give her such a face?" Go home. "

Qi Ming's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't come back later, so he looked calm and pulled himself away by the six thoughts.

When Ye Jiao saw Qi Ming, Qi Sanlang's forehead was already sweating.

The little ginseng was stupefied for a moment, but he didn't care about anything else. He went forward, supported Qi Ming, put his finger around his wrist without a trace, and asked, "what's the matter, sick?"

Qi Ming shook his head and replied with a smile, "it doesn't matter, but I don't eat well in it, tired and hungry."

And Ye Jiao also felt the pulse, vigorous and powerful, without any pain. thought she was as hungry as he said. She nodded to Qi Yun, and Qi Erlang breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as the little ginseng was pushed away, there was a little chubby on his hand.

Xu Bao, who had just been held in his arms by Chu Chengyun, was stuffed directly into Ye Jiao's arms. Chu Chengyun strode to Qi Ming and frowned at him: "like this, can you be hungry like this?" No, we should go to a hospital and have a good look at it. "

Qi Ming hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Yi, don't panic, I am really hungry, let the doctor feed me bitter medicine soup might as well let me eat something …". "

"you can't avoid medical treatment." Who knew that Chu Chengyun didn't believe it at all and grabbed Qi Ming directly and said to Qi Ying, "Erlang rest assured that I will send him back."

Where is Qi Yun worried? following Chu Chengyun's side is more reassuring than where he is.

So Qi Yun ignored his third brother's eyes for help and replied solemnly, "then trouble your Majesty.". I'm afraid I'll have to bother the third Childe to find something to eat for my brother. "

Chu Chengyun nodded and said, "I can't starve him." With that, he grabbed Qi Ming and strode away.

Ye Pingrong hurriedly followed and didn't have time to say goodbye to Ye Jiao.

The little ginseng walked to Qi Yun with Xu Bao in his arms and asked softly, "is it all right?"

"Don't worry."

"isn't it a waste of preparation when you said you were going to the restaurant?"

"then let's go and eat without our third brother. Let's go."

That night, Qi Ming, who was sent back to Qi's home by Ye Pingrong, had been cleaned up and changed his clothes, but he looked wilted. When he went to see Qi Yun, he slumped directly into his chair as if he had no bones.

Ye Jiao was originally eating apricot cheese, but she was startled to see him like this. She wanted to go over and call the pulse again, but she was stopped by Qi Yun.

Qi Erlang whispered to Ye Jiao, "he's been tight for so many days. If you want to be presumptuous today, just let him."

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Jiao had no feeling, but Qi Ming, who also heard it, brought out a lot of emotion in his heart.

Although his second brother always sharpens himself by changing the law, when it comes to the critical moment, he is still the most concerned about each other.

Then Qi Ming heard Qi Yun say, "when he recovers, I'll ask him to copy the Book of Rites fifty times."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming immediately sat upright and looked at Qi Yun solemnly and said, "my brother just got carried away for a moment, and hope that the second brother and sister-in-law will not mind."

Ye Jiao did not speak, but looked at Qi Yun.

On the other hand, Qi Yun dug up a spoonful of apricot cheese and fed it to Xubao, who was waiting with his mouth open. After Xubao ate it, he turned to Qi Ming and said, "it doesn't hurt, but why did you come back so late?"

Speaking of this, Qi Ming truthfully told Qi Yun with a tangled face.

After being taken away by Chu Chengyun at noon, he went to a mansion where he did not know whose house it was. He was trembling by a man with a white beard, said a bunch of doctors that he did not understand, and then prescribed medicine for him to drink. Qi Ming was stared at by Chu Chengyun and had to pinch his nose and pour it in.

"the medicine was so bitter that I lost the taste of the meal." As he spoke, Qi Ming wanted to sit paralyzed. As a result, he sat up straight and dared not move as soon as he was swept away by Qi Yun's eyes.

Ye Jiao was a little confused: "you are all right, why do you want to drink medicine?"

Qi Ming is also at a loss, while Qi Yun is like a mirror in his heart.

I think Chu Chengyun dragged Qi Ming to the royal doctor's home and asked him to take his pulse. Although Qi Yun had not seen the royal doctor, he still knew several doctors who specially treated dignitaries and dignitaries.

Even if the body is not sick, you can't say it clearly, for fear that it will be involved in the secret strength of your master. Since you can't tell the truth, you can only be specious and prescribe some prescriptions that strengthen your body but have no special effect. You can't drink it bad anyway. You just have to pick yourself clearly.

I want to come to my third brother to drink a stomach full of tonics, otherwise I wouldn't have been so tired for a few days, and I still have the spirit to come to me to talk about it when I get home.

However, Qi Ming is a kind-hearted child, even after drinking a stomach full of bitter medicine, he is also giving Chu Chengyun an excuse: "Brother Yi just cares too much, so he is a little nervous."

Qi Yun looked at him but said nothing.

Ye Jiao wiped Xu Bao's mouth with a veil, pinched the little guy's fat face, and looked at Qi Ming with a smile: "since it's all right, Saburo went back to Rest early to have a rest. My mother wrote earlier that you would write her a letter and send it to her when you finished the exam."

Qi Yun nodded and looked at Qi Ming and said, "there are still some days before the list is released. You should also adjust your mood and have a good rest and study hard."

Who knows, Qi Ming said, "second Brother, I want to talk to you."

While pouring tea to Ye Jiao, Qi Yun replied faintly, "say."

Qi Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to follow you around the shop these days."

As soon as these words came out, not only Qi Yun, but also Ye Jiao looked at him in surprise.

Since ancient times, this position has not changed much.

Even though the status of businessmen has skyrocketed, it is unheard of for a man to go to the store to help.

Xu Bao also blinked and asked in a milky voice, "the third uncle doesn't read anymore?" Then how can you be prime minister? "

Qi Ming picked up Xu Bao with a smile and jolted it on his leg, while his eyes looked at Qi Yun and said, "second Brother, I think I can't bear hardships now. I don't know what to do in the future. I still have to find something to do."

When he changed, Qi Yun was sure to scold him and drive him back to the house to study.

But now, Qi Yun has other plans.

He looked at Qi Ming carefully and nodded, "well, since you have this heart, I won't refuse, but you can't go in this shop. I'll let Mr. Qin accompany you around the capital. Let's see, if you want to go to the suburbs of Beijing, where I just bought a Zhuangzi, you can also stay for a few days."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room stared at Qi Yun.

However, Xubao looked at the apricot cheese in Qi Yun's hand, Qi Ming was happy with Qi Yun's promise, and Ye Jiao was surprised to have a new Zhuangzi.

Little ginseng feels that Xianggong is more like a magician than himself.

There is a restaurant on the left and another Chuang Tzu. Xianggong's hands are probably really holding the treasure pot.

However, after Qi Ming left with Xu Bao in his arms, Qi said softly to Ye Jiao, "that Chuang Zi was arranged in the same way as the manor on the mountain when you were in your hometown. The cool house is very big. We will go to live when it is hot."

Ye Jiao answered with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on Qi Huan.

Qi Yun said nothing but opened his arms.

Little ginseng got up, sat sideways on Qi Yun's lap, leaned against his arms, kissed the man on the cheek, and said softly, "Xianggong, you are really good."

Qi Yun smiled and held her tight in his arms.

After being gentle for a while, Ye Jiao remembered and asked, "Why did you promise your third brother so easily just now?" You told him to copy books before. "

Qi Yun could not say something to Qi Ming, but he told Ye Jiao everything he knew. This time he did not hide it, saying bluntly, "there are only two results left and right. He will fail the test, and there is nothing to do with him in the temple examination. Then there are still three years to go. It would be better for him to see more. If he has tried, the temple test will purely depend on his ability, and it will not be too bad for a while. "

Ye Jiao looked up at him and said, "what kind of skill?"

Qi Yun looked faint: "the ability to write well in shock."

When it comes to the palace examination, the emperor will personally write the questions and invigilate the examination. at that time, if his third brother knows that his brother is the emperor, it really depends on him whether he can finish it well.

Even though this relationship is a good thing that others can't ask for, Qi Yun knows Qi Ming best. He looks calm, and he also has a grand ambition to become an official, so that he can become a capable official, but after all he is still young and has little experience. His mind is definitely not as calm and sophisticated as it seems.

It's just that although Qi Yun is worried about these things, he doesn't remember them all the time.

When Ye Jiao kissed the corner of his mouth again, Qi Yun carried his wife into the inner room to study the mysteries of the book.

After a few days, Ye Jiao's invitation was put out, inviting neighbors to come to the house for tea.

When the day came, when Ye Jiao had just finished her breakfast, Xiao Su entered the door and said, "second Lady, Mrs. Wen has already arrived in the vestibule."
