This gold plaque made Qi's family a big show, and unlike before, Qi Fu and Liu are no longer hiding it, but with so much fanfare that they wish everyone knew about it.

In fact, when Qi Sanlang got a small three yuan, they wanted to celebrate like this.

It's just that at that time, the emperor had just died, and even though the emperor took pity on the people and left a decree to announce that the people would only be mourned for three days, those who had a little insight would not make a big deal of it, and they had to keep a low profile even if there was a happy event. so at that time, he just had a drink behind closed doors, but it was not very lively.

Later, when the Qi family opened stores one after another, Qi Fu restrained his sons without making too much noise, for fear of provoking the eyes of others and causing trouble in the shop.

In the final analysis, what businessmen do is smiley face business, and what they pay attention to is popularity. They only know how much money they have. There is no need to shout all over the world, which will inevitably make people resent and affect their reputation.

However, this time, it is a real thing.

As a gift from the emperor, the emperor said that our family values are noble and clean, but who else dares to say no?

Take a look, this decency is naturally not afraid of people to see.

The running water table has been set up for several days, no matter whether they are friends with the Qi family or not, they will come to congratulate them on the day, and a meal can be regarded as a good relationship.

Although Ye Jiao didn't go to the front yard, people often come in her yard.

Early that morning, saw Dong and Zheng coming together.

Because Zheng was the wife of the county magistrate, Ye Jiao still remembered what Liu had taught before and wanted to get up and see the gift. As a result, she was held up by Zheng and only heard Zheng say, "Don't, Niang Niang, you are the most important now. It would be better to avoid all these."

When Xu Bao saw them, he straightened his back, his round eyes grunted, and looked longingly at Dong's back: "where's Brother Tiger?"

Dong is a new mother, and he has always liked children. In particular, Xu Bao is fleshy, crisp and sweet, and his good-looking eyes are soft, so naturally he is very rare. He quickly walked two steps over and picked up Xu Bao in his arms and said with a smile, "Brother Tiger didn't come today. Will you bring him to Xubao to play next time?"

Xubao is no longer the one that can be talked about and fooled before. Smelling the words, he looked at Dong and held out his flesh-and-flesh hand: "retractor hook."

As soon as Dong was stupefied, Ye Jiao said, "Last time Tiezi promised to bring snacks to Xiao Su, two people pulled hooks, and when he saw them, they learned."

For adults, this agreement is very childish, but for Xubao, it is particularly serious.

Ye Jiao also specifically advised: "Chunlan, if you hook with him, you must remember to bring Huzi next time. Xubao is very smart and will write it down."

Xubao has always been a person who can only hear others praise himself. With his head held high, he said, "Xubao, clever!"

Dong held back his smile and held out his little finger to him.

Xubao people's little fingers were so short that they couldn't catch them, so they grabbed them directly, then shook them gently and nodded, looking particularly satisfied.

As Zheng watched, he could not help covering his mouth with a veil and said with a smile, "Niang Niang's child is intelligent. She is really a marvellous child. She will certainly be a pillar of the country in the future."

On hearing this, Xu Bao immediately turned his head and was at a loss: "it's not cold."

Zheng smiled again, but patiently explained, "that is to say, Xubao is going to be a high-ranking official in the future."

Xubao came to the spirit: "Yes, when the prime minister, in charge of dad!"

As soon as these words came out, there was laughter in the room. Xubao was still a little angry, and his little buttocks wriggled, as if he didn't like them to laugh.

This is Xu Bao's great ambition, and he is very serious.

But when Ye Jiao put Xu Bao next to her and took Egg Custard to feed him, Xu Bao immediately forgot his heroic words and waited with his mouth open with a smile.

Zheng and Dong sat aside and looked at Xubao. Dong envied him: "this child is so easy to manage and well-behaved. He is not like my family, who is clever and honest outside and goes home to dominate."

If you change someone else, I'm afraid to be modest and talk about the bad things about your child, but Ye Jiao replied with a smile: "Tiger is lively, Xubao is obedient, and everything is fine."

Zheng smiled when he heard the words.

People are often like this, like a person, then she does whatever she says is right, if she is bored, then everything is wrong, can not pick out the right place.

Now Zheng firmly remembers Ye Jiao's kindness to save her daughter, and catches up with her especially like Ye Jiao's temper. Naturally, she likes Ye Jiao's temper. She smells and says, "Yes, they are all good children, and they catch up with your dolls of similar age. You have to go to school in the same place in the future."

On hearing this, Ye Jiao looked down at Xubao, who was eating Egg Custard, thinking thoughtfully of what Qi Yun had said to teach him to read.

Dong is happy to play with the children. After eating Egg Custard, Xu Bao stood up and wanted to ride a pony, but as soon as the child finished eating, he could not move casually, so Dong volunteered to take Xu Bao for a walk. Xu Bao did not recognize his life, and obediently let her hug him, and the two went out the door.

Ye Jiao looked at Zheng: "Ma'am, do you still want to read together?"

"Jiao Niang doesn't have to be such an outsider, just call me Wan Ying in the future." Zheng said with a smile on his face and said in a warm voice, "ordinary people's studies are sent to a private school, and those who have a little money will invite their husband to teach at home."

Please, sir.

Ye Jiao remembered that Fang had hired a teacher to teach stone, and now stone is reading with him every day.

However, his own Xubao is young, but I'm afraid he won't be able to get together with the stone.

Little ginseng had never thought about it, but suddenly brought it up and couldn't think of a way, and there was some entanglement on his face.

Seeing this, Zheng said hurriedly, "if you want to enlighten the children, my husband knows a lot of good gentlemen, not to mention those in the county and the capital, so you can help with one or two at that time."

Ye Jiao felt Zheng's sincerity, and people with clear hearts often saw people most thoroughly. Little ginseng always relied on intuition in making friends.

If Zheng was still polite and perfunctory to her before, but she was full of sincerity after coming this time, Ye Jiao naturally accepted the feeling and said with a smile: "Thank you Wanying, come and eat Red Bean Cake."

Zheng pinched a piece with a smile and put it in his mouth.

After eating together, Dong came back with Xu Bao in his arms.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Bao twisted himself and went down to the ground. the little guy ran to Ye Jiao's feet with short legs, hugged Ye Jiao's calves, held his face high and asked for credit: "Mother, I have a present for you!"

Ye Jiao, because of her big belly, could not bend down to hug him, so she just reached out and touched the top of the little guy's hair and asked, "what is it?"

Xubao showed a big smile: "Xiao Hei, Mao Mao, make kites!"

As soon as these words came out, the corner of Xiao Su's mouth trembled slightly.

She understood that the young master of her own family was really the second young master's own son, and the others had not seen it yet. The vengeance was exactly the same, but she had such a good memory that he could remember everything in his head.

For the sake of that milk cake, Xiao Hei is afraid that he will be bald for a long time.

Ye Jiao did not see Xiao Su's expression, but smiled and praised Xubao.

As for Blackie, his hair grows fast and it doesn't matter.

Just then, Zheng raised his smiling eyes slightly and saw a piece of jade on the windowsill.

The jade looked clear and white, and it was not big, but only by looking at this appearance, we could see that it was a treasure.

Zheng took a glance and looked motionless, then lowered his eyes and coaxed Xubao to play with them.

Even if the children are energetic, they are easily tired. Just after such a big turn, Xubao soon became sleepy and Ye Jiao's eyelids began to fight.

Seeing this, Dong and Zheng got up at the right time to say good-bye, and they went to the vestibule to find their own husband.

As a county magistrate, Shi Tianrui had to be flattered even when he came in plain clothes. He was upright, but he was not good at socializing, and the amount of alcohol was average. He only had a few drinks and then made a face.

When he went back with Zheng, his cheeks flushed slightly. He looked like he was drunk, but he was still conscious.

Just above the carriage, Shi Tianrui quietly asked Zheng: "can you find out?"

Zheng shook his head and said gently, "I know you think the Qi family has something to do with the heavenly family, but I can't ask you that. Niao Niang is a pure-minded woman. I may not refuse to say it, but it's because my wife is kind. It's hard for me to ask directly, so she doesn't have to worry about these messy things."

In fact, before he came, Shi Tianrui discussed the current situation with Zheng, and the more he said it, the more he felt that the Qi family was different.

Other people only knew that it would be bad luck for anyone who had a bad feeling with them, but Shi Tianrui felt that the Qi family would only be more expensive, otherwise they would not have fallen down even with one of the two magistrates.

But it was impossible to find out about it, so he wanted Zheng to find out from the back house.

For another person, Zheng had already turned around to tell the truth, which was not difficult for her, but just now she looked at Ye Jiao's pure eyes and could not ask even if she was as deep as Zheng.

That is a good girl, Zheng is reluctant to trap her.

Shi Tianrui also recognized Zheng's meaning, but with a smile on his face, he reached out and patted Zheng on the back of his hand: "I didn't expect that my wife was so fearless, and now she can also meet people who are soft."

Zheng's face flushed and gave him a push, but he said, "you are the first one to let me be soft, otherwise I will not run with you to this place far away from heaven and emperor."

Shi Tianrui knew that Zheng was telling the truth. She was the daughter of the Lord, delicate and jade, so it was not easy for her to follow herself, and Shi Tianrui was moved by her ability to plan everything for herself.

But Zheng lowered his voice and whispered, "it's just that I saw something."

"what?"

"I had a lot of good friends when I was in the boudoir, and Queen Meng made friends with me at that time. She had a piece of jade that she liked very much, and I saw it in Niang Niang's house."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Tianrui sat up straight and looked at Zheng in surprise.

Zheng looked at him calmly and gently held Shi Tianrui's hand: "Lord Xiang, I don't understand officialdom, but I only understand one thing: sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will fall back. if you want to go high, there are opportunities in addition to your skills. Now. You should have a plan. "

Shi Tianrui took a breath gently, then held Zheng's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

A few days later, a letter from Shen Shao Zhizhou and Qi Yun to Ye Pingrong entered the capital.

From summer to autumn, when ginkgo turned yellow, Ye Jiao heard that the state government had changed people.

For Shao Zhizhou, Ye Jiao only remembers that she was a lean person who sent a gold plaque to her family, but his demotion did not touch Ye Jiao.

The person around didn't like his ear, and the little ginseng didn't bother to talk to him. He just felt that it was not easy to be an official. He changed this one for another tomorrow.

She can't help thinking about whether she should change her goal for Xubao in the future. It seems dangerous to be an official.

After the End of Heat, the doll in Ye Jiao's belly was nearly eight months old. Fortunately, the weather became cool. Even Liu said that the child came at the right time, and it would not be difficult to sit if it was cooler.

It's just that Ye Jiao's belly is a little bigger, and even Xubao is careful. She only dares to gently touch her mother's belly with her hand once in a while, and she will lie down on it and whisper to another Xubao inside, so that he can be good, and don't always keep A Niang awake at night.

Qi Yun said that when he let himself sleep for a while, Xu Bao rarely did not make any noise, but nodded obediently and hooked up with Ye Jiao: "after Xubao came out, my mother slept with Xubao."

He always insisted that Ye Jiao was carrying Xu Bao, and Ye Jiao did not correct it, but pulled her finger with him to coax the child away.

But Xubao was away at night, and Ye Jiao's Rest was not peaceful either.

From time to time, he would hum twice, either with a sore waist or a pain in his leg.

It's just that it's not Ye Jiao who is tired, but Qi Yun. Qi Erlang is now used to sitting up quickly when his wife makes a sound, rubbing her waist and pressing her legs and pinching the soles of his feet, often whispering to Ye Jiao's stomach while kneading, "Don't disturb your mother, be good, and I'll let you recite every day."

Even Qi Yun does not know whether this threat will work or not, but it is better to say it than not to say it at all.

That night, Ye Jiao frowned slightly and murmured twice. Without waiting for Qi Yun to get up and help her press, she saw Ye Jiao open her eyes.

When her eyes met, Qi Yun leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead: "what's the matter?"

The little ginseng rubbed his eyes, then hugged him vaguely and murmured, "I had a dream."

"Nightmare?"

"it's either a nightmare or it's weird." Ye Jiao buried her face in his arms and whispered, "I dreamt that you took Xu Bao to dig ginseng, dug two back, and brought a pile of fruit."

People dream all kinds of strange things, and it doesn't matter. Qi Yun gently touched her back and asked, "isn't that good?"

Ye Jiao was somewhat aggrieved: "you have eaten all the fruits, but one of them has not been left for me."

Qi Yun couldn't help laughing, hugged her tightly, kissed her again and again on her face, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll give you all the good things I have, used to be, is now, and always will be."

Ye Jiao was easy to coax. On hearing this, she smiled and kissed him back, then closed her eyes again and went to a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, when Qi Yun woke up before Ye Jiao got up, he first put on his clothes and washed out, ready to go to the study to find some books to read.

As soon as got out of the hospital, saw Tiezi waiting at the door.

Without waiting for him to ask, Tiezi quickly took a few steps and said to Qi Yun, "second Young Master, the newly appointed Zhizhou adult invited the rich peasant gentry nearby and also made a post to our house."
