Chapter 189
Qi Ming did not expect to go home well, unexpectedly can be stopped in front of the house.
Instead of getting out of the car, he first picked up the curtain and whispered, "six thoughts, what happened?" Who is that? "
After such a long period of exercise, Liusi's symptoms of stuttering have improved a lot, but he is still easy to tie his tongue in an emergency. At this time, he tried to slow down his voice and replied, "third Young Master, listen, listen to that woman, she is a friend of the young master." My friend, he had no choice but to come and turn to the young master. "
As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming was scared out of his sweat.
After a year as an official, Qi Ming was no longer that stupid boy.
In the imperial court, he was protected by the emperor and was treated kindly by the prime minister. Qi Ming's official career was much smoother than ordinary people, but he could still see a lot of disturbance in the court, which always made people grow up quickly.
With regard to the affairs of the imperial court, Qi Jiasanlang became more and more mature, and as for the affairs of men and women, he also paid special attention to the love of jade flowers in his heart.
Usually at some parties, Qi Ming pays great attention to keeping his distance from other women and does not look up when he speaks.
Although Qi Ming still did not know that his emperor Yi brother had communicated with the Qi family a long time ago, and even took advantage of the Spring Festival to marry his parents, Qi Ming thought that Meng Zhilan would not marry unless five girls were married.
Qi Jiaerlang has a temper that takes a fancy to a girl who has a crush on her.
Even if some unknown officials in the court wanted to kiss Qi Ming, and some even wanted to send a beauty to be a servant girl and concubine for him, Qi Ming refused and was very clean.
Now I finally have a stable relationship with Miss Meng Wu, and my job in the Privy Council has also stabilized. As a result, there is a big "gift" and a woman lies in front of the car. How can people not think about it?.
Liu Si also saw that the man was really frightened by his own master, and said, "third Young Master, I'll go and have a look.". "
"wait a minute." At this time, a slightly deserted voice came out.
As soon as Qi Ming turned his head, he saw Xiao Yuanbai opposite him looking at him indifferently.
It was probably just after being bluffed that Qi Ming lost his square inch. It was only then that he remembered why he was riding in a carriage instead of a sedan chair today, all because he had the intention to invite his colleague Xiao Yuanbai to go home as a guest.
Before Qi Ming was pointed out as a flower exploration, Xiao Yuanbai was the number one on the list with him.
When it comes to the relationship between the top three, Qi Ming is closer to Guo Chengji, not only because Guo Pang is grumpy, but also because the Guo family is the uncle's home of Princess Huanning, and Qi Ming is also related to some kinds. both of them are firmly on the emperor's side, and it is normal for them to communicate more closely.
But Xiao Yuanbai is different, he comes from the Xiao family, is a very precious door, and Xiao Yuanbai himself has always been cold and arrogant, seldom with people, so Qi Ming did not have deep contact with him.
But now that Xiao Yuanbai is responsible for the order, and Qi Ming is the deputy, who has a close relationship, and has a lot of contacts when doing official business in the Yamen, Qi Ming wants to be closer to him so that he can be on the job together in the future.
Who knew that it was not easy to take this step and plucked up the courage to invite others home as a guest, and ended up making such a scene on the doorstep of the house.
Qi Ming was a little embarrassed, then said: "Let Xiao Da see laugh, I will go down to deal with it." When he said that, he was about to push and open the door.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanbai grabbed him and suddenly pulled him back.
Qi Ming, who had been thinner, fell back on the cushion unexpectedly, and looked at Xiao Yuanbai in amazement.
Then Qi Ming listened to Xiao Yuanbai and said, "this woman must want something from you, and most of them have bad intentions. If you come forward, no matter whether there is any discord between you and her, you will inevitably make gossip in the end, which will be bad for your reputation."
Qi Ming did not think about this, slightly stupefied, subconsciously asked: "how can Xiao Da people know so clearly?"
Xiao Yuanbai glanced at him and said faintly, "in the capital, this kind of thing is not new. If you encounter a lot, you will get used to it."
This is frank, and Xiao Yuanbai is just telling the truth.
He came from the Xiao family, even in this golden capital is a rare high door, Xiao Yuanbai such a talented and handsome from an early age to face a variety of women to throw themselves into their arms, more familiar with the routines, naturally more vigilant.
Today he was just a reminder and didn't think much about it.
But in Qi Ming's view, Xiao Yuanbai's move made him particularly grateful, and also made Qi Ming feel that the Xiao Zhuangyuan was not as arrogant as he was said to be, but that he was a little lonely and unsociable, and that he was still very nice.
As a result, Xiao Yuanbai saw that Qi Ming smiled gratefully to himself and said sincerely: "Thank you."
It was just a trivial matter, but it made this man so sincere. Xiao Yuanbai was really surprised.
He stared at Qi Ming and then said to Qi Ming, "it's just a small thing. Don't worry about it." Then he looked out through the car door and said faintly, "it's more important to solve the immediate problem first."
Qi Ming nodded and said two words to Liusi. Liusi responded several times before walking towards the woman in the white dress of that month.
On the other hand, Miss Zhu, who was lying on the ground, felt that her body was going to be stiff.
She could vaguely hear the voice in the carriage, even if the conversation between Xiao Yuanbai and Qi Ming could not be clearly transmitted, but only a few words were enough to make Zhu's fourth aunt associate.
It is obvious that Qi Ming doesn't remember her long ago, which makes Miss Zhu a little frightened.
In fact, Zhu Si girl can not be regarded as falling in love with Qi Ming, but after weighing the pros and cons, she feels that Qi Ming is a good person to rely on.
Her father was on duty in the Privy Council, which was a little higher than that of Qi Ming, but anyone could see that Qi Ming now had a heavy sacred utensil, but a wealthy family could be sent directly to the Privy Council.
Zhu Si girl found a way to get in touch with him several times, but most of them were in a hurry at a poetry party or tea party, and each time Qi Ming seemed to be a stranger as if she had just met her.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhu was patient and thought that she would always be able to get in touch with her slowly. She was also very confident and felt that with her conditions, Qi Ming might have remembered it a long time ago, but she was just playing hard to get.
Originally, Miss Zhu Si wanted to plan slowly, but there was a change at home.
The story of the collusion between the Zhu family and the two kings was exposed, and Lord Zhu was dismissed from office, and his family was about to be harmed.
The heavenly family did not pick them up immediately, but gave them some time to find a way out. All the daughters of the Zhu family did not come out of the cabinet behind closed doors, and those who did not leave the cabinet were all engaged in a hurry, hoping to get out as soon as possible.
Aunt Zhu heard that a small official had been appointed for her at home, so that she could stay away from the capital as early as possible.
Although it is no better than what it used to be, it is benevolent today, and it never involves the family excessively. As long as it keeps a low profile, most women will not be overly involved, and this outgoing official has an old relationship with the Zhu family, and she will not be treated badly because she is the daughter of sinners. It is already an excellent condition to be able to be the mistress of the family.
But she was not reconciled to it.
She is the first daughter of the family, she is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is first-class. If she is released, when will she be able to return to Beijing? How can she stand the shabby hardships of remote places?
So Zhu Si girl's eyes fell on Qi Ming again, and when her family didn't notice, she ran out secretly and crouched in front of Qi Ming's house to stop Qi Ming's frame.
As far as she thinks, Qi Ming is an ignorant, as long as he can beg softly, and then talk about the past friendship, it will always be successful.
Even if Qi Ming could not make up his mind now, Miss Zhu was not afraid. as long as he could get wind of it, he would marry if he did not want to marry.
But Qi Ming's indifference at this time made Zhu Si girl have no idea, she lay on the ground, even in the spring, but this posture still made her cold, but these can not stand the cold heart.
Aunt Zhu's head was in a mess. No matter what she had in mind and made up her mind when she came here, she was only a teenage girl and she came alone. How could she have so many ideas?
So before Liu Si came over, Miss Zhu had already crushed her silver teeth and made up her mind
Even if she can't be a real wife, she can be a concubine, as long as she doesn't have to leave the capital.
At the thought of this, Zhu Si girl felt particularly aggrieved. She had no idea how embarrassed Qi Ming would be when she was stopped by her. She only felt that she had been wronged as a concubine.
Without waiting for six thoughts to open her mouth, she braced herself up and shouted to the carriage, "Saburo, I am a girl from the Zhu family. Have you forgotten that you and I have met several times before, looked at each other on the curtain at the poetry meeting, and sat opposite to drink tea at the edge of the west pool?"
Qi Ming was at a loss, he really did not remember, and when Xiao Yuanbai looked over with suspicion, Qi Ming waved his hand vigorously to show his innocence.
Liushi didn't stutter at this moment, and he forgot the problem of stuttering at the critical moment, for fear that his master's reputation would be tarnished by Zhu's fourth aunt's shouting, and Liushi's voice was raised for a time, and said, "this girl, I think you are full of breath. I think you're all right. Please make way. Don't block the road."
Zhu Si girl took a veil to cover her tears without even thinking about it, and said to herself, "now my family is going to lose, and my parents abandoned me, and my future is uncertain." she raised her head and cried in her voice, "just please take me in." whether it is to be a wife or a concubine, even as a servant girl, I am happy to be a servant girl. "
As soon as these words came out, Liushi frowned. It was obvious that the little bookboy had never seen such a man who could not understand people's words.
Qi Ming in the carriage was petrified. Obviously, he had never seen such a battle before. He had not come into contact with many women. Both his parents and sisters-in-law were very reasonable and wanted face, not to mention Meng Wu. In his mind, the five girls are made of jade, the most precious.
Now the style of Miss Zhu Si is really an eye-opener to Qi Ming.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuanbai, who had been silent all the time, frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I am willing to fall, and I don't know the decency."
Qi Ming hurriedly looked over and asked for help, "Brother Xiao, I …" What am I supposed to do? "
Xiao Yuanbai did not notice that the man had changed his name, but just said, "Don't come forward, find someone to gag her and drag her away as far as you can."
Qi Ming hurriedly answered and asked someone to send a message.
When Miss Zhu saw that someone was coming for her, she stepped back.
Just now the tears were adorable, but now when saw that Qi Ming was soft and hard, Miss Zhu really had red circles under her eyes, angry and anxious.
Originally, she was unstable because of Qi Ming's attitude, and she also knew that what she had just said had lost her identity. When it got out, she was afraid that she would be laughed at to death. She was also afraid that she had lost her square inch, and her voice went up a little bit: "Qi Ming, you are really ruthless!"
Qi Ming finally couldn't help it and whispered, "Let her say all the good and bad things, but she's really capable."
Xiao Yuanbai looked at Qi Ming and felt that Qi Ming was very unlucky, but Qi Sanlang's aggrieved appearance was completely different from his usual serious appearance in the Yamen, so that Xiao Yuanbai raised the corners of his mouth, but immediately smiled, sat upright, and did not squint.
Liusi was afraid that she would attract people noisily, and immediately said to the young men on both sides, "in the past, I covered her mouth and dragged her.". Tow it away. "
Aunt Zhu got up from the ground, did not bother to pat the dust on her body, but only stared and said, "I'll see who dares to touch me."
After all, the boy was a man, and it was not easy to do it. He looked at each other with some hesitation.
Just then, Ye Jiao came over with Xiao Su.
What happened just now seems to be a long story, but because Aunt Zhu talked to herself all the time, it didn't take much effort to add it up. Ye Jiao could hear one or two words when she came over, and she probably understood what this person was thinking.
And the name Zhu Si girl finally evokes the memory of Ye Jiao. She had met Zhu Si girl in Shi's orchard before, that is, the woman who had asked herself to teach her how to throw a pot.
At that time, Ye Jiao felt that this man had something to ask for and didn't like it very much. now, looking at this man, I am afraid he has targeted his own Saburo early on.
But Ye Jiao is aware of the marriage between Qi Sanlang and Meng Wu, so she naturally won't let them get into trouble with each other.
Ordinary little ginseng certainly won't get involved in other people's affairs, but Qi Ming is a member of her own family. she wants to protect her family. She walks in and says, "Su, go and help."
Xiao Su answered, tugged at his sleeve and walked over.
Today's Xiao Su is no longer a little hairy girl like bean sprouts in the past. she is young and has a striped body recently. in addition, she eats well, has a slim figure, and has a lot of strength.
At that time, she was able to run away with a rattan pat and wanted to hook up with Qi Yun's servant girl, but now she can roll up her sleeves and twist Miss Zhu.
Zhu Si girl also recognized Ye Jiao and looked a little flustered, but when Xiao Su grabbed her hand, aunt Zhu was so tearful that she could not break free. She could only say to Ye Jiao, "Let me go, let go."
Ye Jiao didn't say anything. she was too lazy to say anything to people who didn't care, but Xiao Su glared and said, "if you can walk by yourself just now, why should you let me drag you?"
Aunt Zhu did not expect that a servant girl would still be able to scold herself, and her throat was tight. in addition, what happened today was completely different from common sense, which made Zhu Si girl a little unprepared.
She is good-looking and knowledgeable, and she is willing to be a concubine. as long as she is a man, who can not be tempted?
As a result, Qi San was not only unimpressed, but also joined his sister-in-law to twist himself away. What is the reason? Why the Qi family is different from others!
Aunt Zhu struggled and exclaimed, "what's wrong with fighting for my own future?"
Ye Jiao finally looked at her, and the little ginseng had some confusion in her forever clear eyes and asked, "Why do you want to block Saburo's car when you are fighting for your future?" What's wrong with Saburo? he hasn't done anything. Why does he have to be with you? "
Aunt Zhu:.
This question to the point, but also let Zhu Si girl can not think of how to reply, she can only continue to push Xiao Su, crying incessantly.
Ye Jiao regretted that she didn't bring a few more wives today, but she didn't bring many people when she went to the palace to see Empress Meng, but she seemed a little stretched at the moment.
Just then, suddenly six or seven women rushed up and grabbed Miss Zhu's hands and feet, jammed her mouth with a veil and pressed it directly to the ground!
The sudden change surprised Ye Jiao and subconsciously wanted to call people. She saw a woman come forward with a smile and whispered to Ye Jiao, "Mrs. Qi, we are from Mengfu." With that, the woman showed Ye Jiao the sign of Meng Fu.
Ye Jiao blinked and asked, "who told you to come?"
"back to Mrs. Qi's words, the master of the old slave is five girls." The mother-in-law's voice paused slightly, but her voice was a little softer. "it's hard for the five girls to come forward today, and I hope Mrs. Qi doesn't have to tell Childe Qi San."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao nodded and took a step back.
In her opinion, the marriage between Meng Wu girl and Qi Ming has passed the bright road in front of the emperor. Now that the five girls come out to defend Qi Ming, Ye Jiao will not interfere naturally.
And this originally smiling woman looked back and lost her smile, and said in a cold voice, "take it away."
Someone quickly walked into the alley with a certain soft sedan chair, and several women picked up Miss Zhu and tied her up with a rope, threw her into the sedan chair and walked away.
When everything was stable, Ye Jiao looked at the carriage and saw Qi Ming sticking his head out.
Qi Sanlang felt that the women were brought by Ye Jiao, so naturally he didn't ask any more questions. He just jumped out of the carriage and saluted Ye Jiao: "Thank you for your sister-in-law's rescue."
Ye Jiao was not greedy for merit. She wanted to say it clearly, but she thought of what the woman had just said, so she swallowed it back.
Xiao Yuanbai in the carriage also came down and met Ye Jiao.
Seeing that Qi Ming had guests here, Ye Jiao did not stay much, but smiled at Qi Ming and said, "when you are free, come back for dinner. Your brother and several children are thinking of you."
Qi Ming answered immediately, smiling brightly.
Ye Jiao took Xiao Su back to her carriage and headed for Qi Fu.
When she got home, Ye Jiao was sent to the wing to take care of the three sleeping children, while she went back to the bedroom.
As soon as entered the door, saw Qi Yun sitting at the table, and the copper pot on the table, beside which there were many plates of vegetables and meat, all of different colors, all together watching the hustle and bustle.
Ye Jiao originally had something on her mind, but as soon as she saw the copper pot laughing, her eyes were all sparkling and there was no time to speak, so she trotted to wash her hands with fragrant pancreas.
Qi Yun put down his book, went over and handed Ye Jiao a cloth towel and said, "I just got a piece of fresh donkey meat. I remember you liked it, so I asked someone to cut some to make pots."
On hearing this, the little ginseng kissed Qi Yun's face with a smile on his face, and then remembered and asked, "can the children eat?"
Qi Yun pulled her to the table with a gentle voice: "Donkey meat is hot and difficult to digest. They can't eat it like this. I asked someone to cut it up and stew porridge. It's okay for them to eat some porridge."
Ye Jiao smelled the words and nodded, but her eyes kept staring at the copper pot. After sitting down, she took chopsticks and waited excitedly for the soup in the copper stove to boil.
After eating a few chopsticks, Ye Jiao remembered and said to Qi Yun, "Huiniang just told me that the emperor intended to give you ten shops."
Qi Yun was putting mushrooms into the pot when he looked around at Ye Jiao and asked, "the shop in the capital?"
"Yes."
Qi Yun was quiet for a moment, then whispered, "this is Xie Li."
Ye Jiao was a little puzzled: "if she said that she had saved Huiniang's thanks, she already had that life-saving Dan Shu iron coupon, why did she give it to these shops?"
Qi Yun put the mushrooms into Ye Jiao's bowl and said faintly, "this is a thank-you gift we gave him."
Earlier, Chu Chengyun said that he would send a gold plaque to the Qi family, so he sent 20 guards to protect them all the way. Soon after those guards left, the relatives of the two wangs fell off a cliff and died. Coupled with the ten shops that have come out of thin air now, it is not difficult to think that there is a connection among them.
However, Qi Yun never cared about the family affairs of the royal family, nor would he say anything to worry Ye Jiao, so he said nothing but said, "try this. I just asked someone to mash the shrimp balls with fresh shrimp meat."
Ye Jiao put one in her mouth and felt the fresh fragrance of her teeth and a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.
The dinner was particularly enjoyable, and although shabu shabu was not as delicate as ordinary dishes, it was particularly tasty.
When the table was removed, Ye Jiao touched her stomach, exhaled contentedly and said, "when the eldest brother comes back, we should also have a meal of meat with him. Huanning will probably be able to have a moonlet by then."
Hearing her mention Ye Pingrong, Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao was still worried, so he said, "Don't worry, with the skills of the eldest brother, you will be able to win a great victory."
Ye Jiao smiled and said, "that's what Huiniang said."
Qi Yun also said, "before he left, I gave him a lot of pigeons. I think it is useful."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao looked at her husband in surprise.
Those pigeons were specially trained by Qi Yun to get in touch with the caravan. Each pigeon was extraordinarily precious, fast and accurate. don't know how much Qi Yun's mind was wasted by exercise.
Now it is much more down-to-earth to give it to Ye Pingrong than to say a word of comfort.
Ye Jiao could not help but put her hand around Qi Yun's arm and kissed him on the cheek.
Qi Yun tilted his head and whispered, "this side, too."
So Ye Jiao obediently leaned over and kissed the other cheek, then laughed and hugged the man by the neck.
After the two got together to make trouble for a while, someone came to report that the children were awake. Ye Jiao asked someone to bring them to the porridge and play with the children. when they were coaxed to sleep again, it was already the willow shoots of the moon.
Qi er and his wife were a little tired when they were lying in bed. Ye Jiao hit Yawn and said, "I don't know when Saburo will come over for dinner. Meng five girls keep an eye on him."
Qi Yun recognized that something was wrong, so he took Ye Jiao by the shoulder and asked softly, "what happened?"
Then Ye Jiao told Qi Yun in detail about the farce in front of Qi Ming's door.
After hearing this, Qi Yun frowned at first, then loosened, and then frowned quickly.
When Ye Jiao saw that he did not speak, she said, "what's wrong with that?"
Qi Yun shook his head and said slowly, "No, there is nothing wrong. Meng five girls have quick wits. It is best to gag people up early and take them away. I think that Zhu Si girl has been thrown back to Zhu's house."
Ye Jiao was puzzled: "to the Zhu family?" They will certainly protect their daughters. Will they still find Yutou and shove them back to Saburo? "
"No." Qi Yun said categorically, "the Zhu family is now down and out, and only by virtue of the emperor's benevolence can they have time to find a way out for their own family. Zhu Si is not the only daughter to be married. If they dare to compete with Sanlang, then the words of Zhu Si will certainly spread if she is willing to be a concubine. At that time, other Zhu daughters are afraid that it will be difficult for them to marry, and they will not dare."
Ye Jiao did not think of this layer, but now she was suddenly enlightened by Qi Yun, nodded, thinking that it is really not easy to be a person, and there is new knowledge every day.
But she looked at Qi Yun and was still contemplative, so she slightly propped up her upper body, pressed her fingers between the man's eyebrows and flattened his slightly frowned eyebrows. Only then did she smile and said, "since it's all right, why are you worried?"
Qi Yun gathered Ye Jiao into his arms, tucked in the quilt, and said, "I was thinking that Saburo is still young. Next time he comes back, I want to talk to him about how to behave in the world. I can't count on others every time."
Ye Jiao leaned her head against the man's heart and hit Yawn with a soft voice: "this is also a coincidence. Five girls' people suddenly came out and startled me." Speaking of which, how did the Meng family get here so fast? "
Come quickly? I am afraid that Meng Wu girl has been let people stare at Qi Ming's house, did not relax for a moment.
For another person, I am afraid that Miss Meng Wu is so thoughtful and afraid at such a young age, but Qi Yun feels that this marriage is well settled, and that in the future, brother and sister-in-law not only have plans, but also have the means. It is a blessing for our silly brother to have such a wife in a previous life.
But just when Qi Yun wanted to talk to Ye Jiao, as soon as he bowed his head, he saw that Ye Jiao had fallen into a deep sleep, and he was no longer talkative. He put his arms around Ye Jiao and closed his eyes, and soon entered the dark sweet dream.
The following days were smooth, peach blossoms were in full bloom, apricot blossoms were in full bloom, and Qi's yard was particularly lively.
Ye Jiao asked people to leave a lot of peach petals, not only to eat, but also mashed into the hair oil, taste sweet, very much like Ye Jiao.
By the time the peach blossom and apricot blossom fell, it was already the beginning of May.
That night, as soon as Qi Yun and Ye Jiao had a rest, Xiao Su hurriedly ran over through the window and said, "second Lady, someone has come to tell me that her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has started."
The author has something to say: Ye Jiao: look, are the flowers beautiful?
Ruyi: good-looking!
Ning Bao: can you eat?
Ruyi: eat Ruyi, too!
Xubao: just know how to eat. Look at you, brother. You're fat.
Ning Bao: [pinch Xu Bao Meat]
Xubao:.
