When the will for marriage came down, Qi Ming was having a reunion dinner at the Qifu mansion.

This is a tacit understanding between the two brothers. even though Qi Ming has got the house and the branch house does not live, even if Qi Yun does not know what Qi Yun said, Qi Ming will come to have dinner with his brother and sister-in-law on the rest day.

Every time he went to Qi Yun's mansion, Qi Ming would talk to Qi Yun, then went to see his sister-in-law, and finally he was with Shi Xubao, and occasionally he would hold Ningbao together, whether it was reading or playing games, as long as he was with the children. Qi Sanlang likes it very much.

Because Ye Jiao likes to eat, the kitchenette on Qi Jiao House is particularly excellent and can do everything. Even if it is not all exquisite, it is all very palatable. In addition, Qi Ming is used to eating in Qi Fu before and is very familiar with these tastes. He always comes with his meal stuck.

When Tiezi came in and said that there was a decree outside, Qi Ming was trying to shell the shrimp.

When he heard that it was an edict, Qi Ming immediately put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands with a cloth towel. He looked at Qi Yun with some doubt on his face. "second Brother, do you have any shop to open?"

On the other hand, Qi Yun put the freshly peeled shrimps into Ye Jiao's bowl so that she could not eat in a hurry, and then said to Qi Ming, "this decree is certainly not for me. Don't worry. I'll go with you when you pick it up."

It is obvious that Qi Erlang has guessed what this is. After all, there have been rumors about the marriage between the Qi family and the Meng family recently, even if it is only a few words, but it is also harmful to the reputation of Meng five girls.

Coupled with the fact that Qi Sanlang's real estate has been bought, it is time to calculate.

Qi Ming went out blankly, forgetting the unfinished shrimp on the way, but thinking about what he had done.

After listening to the decree, the eunuch read the will, Qi Ming was completely confused.

Brother Yi gave him a marriage. Meng, think it is Zhilan.

This made Qi Ming have a feeling that his dream came true. When he was holding the imperial edict, he forgot to speak for a moment. He stood up and stood in the courtyard in a daze. He did not know how to bow his head when he was exposed to the sun. Instead, he looked into the unknown distance and did not blink. It was obvious that he had been happy.

Qi Yun was much calmer. He first helped Ye Jiao up and told her to take a rest in the corridor beside her. Don't let her get to the sun. Then he said to the palace who came to read the will, "father-in-law du has been in two places."

This time to Xuan paper is still the chief eunuch Duan, the last time to Qi Fu to send Dan iron coupons is he, coupled with du'an often with Chu Chengyun side, naturally know that this Qi family in the heart of the emperor is very unusual.

Even if I went to Qiming House just now, I came to Qi Yun again, but Duan dared not say no. When he heard the words, he smiled and said, "the words are heavy. What we do is an errand job, and it is best to be able to deliver the will."

Qi Yun was no longer polite, but said in a slow voice, "it's enough to look at the sun. It's not too late for Grandpa du to stay and have tea."

Although Duane is in charge of eunuchs and is busy with important matters, he still has time for tea.

What's more, seeing that the Qi family is about to prosper, Duane is naturally happy to make this good relationship.

So he stopped refusing and said with a smile, "I'll bother you."

Qi Yun raised his hand and kicked him in the leg without a trace when he passed Qi Ming as du'an entered the door.

Because Qi Ming had been wandering outside the object, he didn't notice Qi Yun's movement. although Qi Yun was useless, he still bent Qi Ming's knee.

Liu Si hurriedly held him and saw that du'an had entered the door with Qi Yun. Only then did Liu Si whisper to Qi Ming and said, "my Lord, don't bask in the sun outside. Go in and sit down."

Qi Ming did not move immediately, but as if he had been awakened by a kick. Yes, he hurriedly lowered his head and opened the edict on his hand.

The imperial edict was made of good silk cloth, but Qi Ming still dared not force it, only gently opened it, read it back and forth many times, bit the tip of his tongue, and made sure that he was not dreaming now, so he laughed.

Yeah, it's not a dream. He can't have such a beautiful dream.

When Liu Si saw Qi Ming's appearance, he knew Qi Ming's joy, so he said nothing more, but reached out and grabbed Qi Ming's forearm and pulled it for a while.

Because Liusi has always been a Qiming Shutong, the relationship between the two is unusual. Qi Ming was pulled by him and did not struggle, but followed Liusi forward.

So when Qi Ming entered the door, he was pulled by six thoughts, and Qi Sanlang's eyes were still glued to the edict.

Qi Yun looked and tried to distract Duane from seeing his brother's humiliating appearance.

But soon Qi Erlang thought about it again, and naturally said to Qi Ming, "put the edict away and don't neglect it."

Qi Ming nodded first, then opened his mouth and trotted away with the imperial edict all the way.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not the first time that Qi Jiasanlang has received a decree, but it has never made him happy this time.

This is not just a will, this is his happy life in the future, naturally to protect it!

And Qi Sanlang's appearance was also seen by du'an, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "this is the first time we've ever seen Mr. Qi in such a lively way."

Qi Yun shook his head helplessly: "he is also happy, after all, it is a major event in life, and it is normal to be valued by the emperor, and it is normal to be happier, but it makes Duke du laugh."

Du'an laughed and had to praise Qi Ming again and again, but he thought of Chu Chengyun's advice before.

Before Duan came out to announce the decree, Chu Chengyun specially called him over and told him that he must write down Qi Ming's reaction and expression and go back and tell him in detail.

Duan did not know that his emperor was actually holding back the childish idea that he wanted to see Qi Ming stunned, and only felt that there must be something hidden in it, so he kept a careful eye on Qi Ming.

Now looking at the liveliness of adult Qi's trot, Duane breathed a sigh of relief.

At least if he had something to say back to Chu, Duane thought he must describe it vividly.

After Qi Ming put the edict away, when he went back, there was no sign of Duane.

Ye Jiao had already sat back at the dinner table, smiling at Qi Yun, who was picking out fish bones for herself. When she saw Qi Ming coming back, Ye Jiao said, "come and eat again."

Qi Ming found some usual calmness at this time, and after smelling the words, he saluted Qi Yun and Ye Jiao first, and then sat down.

Seeing that there was still half of the shrimp he had just peeled in the bowl, Qi Ming went on to peel it and put it in his mouth.

Shrimp with bouncy teeth, with some sweetness.

It's about now that heart is sweet, so everything eat is sweet.

See Qi Ming eat a meal can laugh, Ye Jiao also bent the corner of her mouth, thinking about the marriage of Saburo and Zhilan this is serious after the Ming Road has been settled.

For Meng Wu girl, Ye Jiao likes it very much.

Since they last met in Shi's orchard, the two have met at other tea parties and banquets one after another.

It is true that Meng five girls have success in their hearts, but Ye Jiao never feels that it is a bad thing to be thoughtful. On the contrary, when she was still buried in the earth, she saw many things calculating each other for the sake of practice, and she was a thousand-year-old Shenjing, the most Dabu. She was often chased all over the mountain. After knowing the little fox, she relied on the fox's alertness to escape several times. Ye Jiao always felt that she had a little mindfulness in order to live a good life.

As long as she is upright and kind-hearted, she will like it.

On the other hand, Meng Wu girl was born beautiful, spoke politely and courteously, and was very frank with Ye Jiao. Ye Jiao was naturally fond of her.

Now seeing that the marriage had been settled, Ye Jiao was happy for the two, and said to Qi Yun, "the time for this will is just right. Earlier, my mother wrote that she had already gone out with her father. It was calculated that she would arrive in the capital in a few days."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming stayed for a while, just ate something choked up and down, one side of the six think of the situation, hurriedly poured a cup of tea to Qi Ming to let him shun.

When he finally felt comfortable, Qi Ming opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "Mom and Dad are coming?"

Ye Jiao was asking someone to serve soup to Qi Ming. Fearing that he would choke again, Ye Jiao said, "Yes, I said to Saburo during the Spring Festival. This time my father and mother came together with a betrothal gift. Saburo, remember to prepare yourself at that time. Your parents are going to live in your house."

Qi Ming is glad that he doesn't have anything in his mouth now, so he won't choke again, but his voice is still a little stuttered: "say dear during the Spring Festival.". Why didn't I know? "

Qi Xun took a faint look at him: "ask yourself."

Qi Ming:.

But Qi Ming did not delve into the specific reason, and now all his thoughts were on the matter of getting married with Meng Wu girl, and the whole person was triumphant. When he left from his second brother's house, he was almost humming the carriage on the song.

Qi Yun, who looked at him at the door, could not help saying, "if he has a tail, I'm afraid he'll go up to the sky."

Ye Jiao said with a smile, "getting married is a good thing, and it's normal to be happy."

Seeing that Qi Ming's carriage was far away, Qi Yun held Ye Jiao's hand and walked back with her and asked, "tell me, where is it good to get married?"

On hearing this, Ye Jiao really tilted her head and began to think carefully, then broke her finger and counted it to Qi Yun: "if you have something good to eat, if you can have a good Rest, you don't have to run around, some people find fault when you eat fish, and Xubao Ningbao is happy."

Qi Yun did not speak, but looked at her steadily, and saw that Ye Jiao had never talked about herself. Although she could not see anything on her face, she was still a little lost in her heart.

But soon, Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao say, "more importantly, there is a husband." Ye Jiao took Qi Yun on her arm and smiled at him with her head held high. "if you treat me well, if I treat my husband well, it is especially good to get married."

It is simple to say, but every word can be drilled into Qi Yun's heart.

He couldn't help glancing aside. Tiezi and Xiao Su both looked away without looking. It was only then that Qi Yun approached Ye Jiao, kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "Jiao Niang is right. It's good to get married."

Ye Jiao, on the other hand, had a soft voice around Qi Yun's waist. "but I don't understand. Why didn't you tell Saburo all the time?"

Qi Yun, with a slightly warped mouth and soft eyebrows, said in a slow voice, "it was the one in the palace who contributed to this marriage. He is happy to protect the matchmaker, so it is natural for him to talk to Saburo himself."

Chu Chengyun is the only one who can bring the families of Meng and Qi, who are so far apart, together.

Qi Yun did not pick it out, but he was also afraid that if he got wind of it before he got married, he would get into trouble.

But if Chu Cheng agrees to do it, it will not only be trouble-free, but will also be spread as a good story.

Ye Jiao still doesn't understand: "then why didn't he say it?"

Qi Yun said faintly, "probably to see Saburo's shocked appearance." Just now Qi Yun deliberately let du an see that Qi Ming misbehaved because of Chu Chengyun's temper.

The emperor, no matter how wise the policy is and how sophisticated he is, is especially childish in many trifles.

There is nothing wrong with coaxing Chu Chengyun to be happy, and it is also good for his third brother.

Ye Jiao still looked at Qi Erlang and said, "what about you? you didn't say it either."

Qi Yun's voice was calm: "because I also want to see Saburo shocked. Sure enough, it's very interesting."

At the moment, Qi Ming, who had been seen twice as a scene, did not immediately return to his house, but wandered around the capital under excitement.

Ordinary Qi Ming did not have such a mind.

Although there are many errands in the Privy Council, the court has always been kind to officials, and the days of taking a bath have never been deducted. Qi Ming always has his own time.

It's just that other officials like to organize some poetry meetings in private, or watch a play and have a drink together in twos and threes, as long as they are not contaminated with illegal things, the court will not restrain them too much.

Qi Ming was not interested in all this. He didn't even like to go to the shops on the street. He didn't go anywhere except to the bookstall.

When have spare time, I'd rather read and write at home, or write poems and essays, and be ready to learn from brother.

But today's Qi Ming is a little unusual. He has not only his own son, but also his future wife. It was true that he admired Meng Wu girl before, but at that time Qi Ming thought that the two were men and women after all, and Meng Wu girl was a woman. Most attention was paid to the boudoir's reputation, even if they were happy with each other, they could not get too close, otherwise they would tarnish the reputation of Meng Wu girl, so Qi Ming was willing to give her something. But I didn't dare to send it every time, for fear of causing trouble to Meng Wu girl.

But now it is different, it is his wife who has never been through the door, and it is only natural for him to buy things for the future wife!

So Qi Ming suddenly had great enthusiasm, got out of the carriage and strolled down the street with six thoughts.

What jewelry store, clothing store, the four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and painting, Qi Ming think Meng five girls will like, but also feel that ordinary objects and beauty do not match.

So Qi Ming wandered for a long time, and finally bought only a piece of lanolin white jade hairpin.

Liusi followed all the time, and his legs were sore at the back, but when Liusi looked at Qi Ming, he found that his adult didn't look tired at all. on the contrary, he became happier and happier when he went shopping.

But no one knows Qi Ming's physical condition better than Liu Si.

At this time, he walked several streets with great strength, and was happy to stroll, but Qi Ming was a scholar, and his most common sport was to walk around the yard a few times every night. If Qi Ming continues to stroll like this, Qi Sanlang will surely have sore legs tomorrow.

But six thoughts can not be said directly, so he changed his mind and said to Qi Ming, "my Lord, have a rest. I can't walk any more."

If the ordinary boy talked like that, he would have been rejected and useless by the master's family a long time ago.

But six thoughts are different. Qi Ming is used to protecting him, and when he is said by six thoughts, Qi Ming finally feels some tiredness on top of his blood, so he stops and says to Liu Si, "then let's go and find a place to sit."

Six thoughts nodded again and again, then looked around and said, "that's Qijia Restaurant over there."

This restaurant is Qi Yun's estate, and the cooks in it are first-class craftsmanship. Chu Chengyun also boasted when he came to eat before, and ordinary Qi Ming often came to eat.

Since it was a place he was used to, Qi Ming no longer hesitated and walked towards the restaurant with six thoughts.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi is here, but are you going to the elegant room upstairs?"

Qi Ming was about to nod when he saw an acquaintance at the table by the window.

He said to the shopkeeper, "I'll talk to someone, and you go and get busy."

The shopkeeper arched his hand and pushed it aside.

Qi Ming strode past, stood still and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, why didn't you come with Brother Guo today?"

It was Xiao Yuanbai who sat at the table.

When he looked up and saw that it was Qi Ming, he raised his hand and motioned for him to sit opposite him, with a faint voice: "the man has always wolfed down his food, no fine dishes can be eaten, and ginseng fruit can be bolted whole. I won't invite him when I taste this kind of food."

When Qi Ming heard the words, he did not feel how impolite it was for Xiao Yuanbai to say what Guo Chengji said. After all, Guo Chengji usually talked about Xiao Yuanbai and did not see him show mercy.

These two people have never said nice things about each other face to face or behind their backs, but their relationship is getting better and better, and it is also new to be able to watch and help each other.

What Qi Ming noticed was the dishes placed in front of Xiao Yuanbai.

These are all dishes that Qi Ming has never seen in the restaurant before, but now they look natural and fresh.

However, instead of arguing with Xiao Yuanbai for this bite, he first asked Liusi to find another table and order what to eat. Qi Ming paid the bill later, and then he asked the shopkeeper for two dishes he was used to eating.

Xiao Yuanbai looked at Qi Ming and said, "Don't you want to try something new?"

Qi Ming smiled and shook his head: "I just like to eat. I'm not looking for something fresh."

Xiao Yuanbai nodded when he smelled the words and said nothing. He just focused on the dishes in front of him and tasted them seriously.

As a matter of fact, Xiao Yuanbai was born in a big family, and he has eaten all kinds of delicacies, but Lord Xiao seems to have a golden tongue, which is extremely difficult to serve. He is very picky about what he eats, and he can't eat it if something is wrong.

Some people are gluttonous, but Xiao Yuanbai is a picky eater, and it is difficult for ordinary cooks to get into his eyes.

Now that he has finally found a restaurant that he is used to eating, Xiao Yuanbai often comes here.

Qi Ming looked at him and could not help saying, "since Brother Xiao likes it so much, he might as well ask the cook to make a separate one and send it to your house every day."

Xiao Yuanbai replied faintly: "different, this dish must be eaten in a new pot, not at all, and the stove of ordinary people is not easy to cook, so we must have a good grasp of the heat and timing." it is also necessary for this dish to go from cutting vegetables to coming out of the pot, and all the processes in the middle are not bad in order to have the best taste. "

Qi Ming was surprised when he heard Yan: "I didn't expect that Brother Xiao studied eating so much."

Xiao Yuanbai was praised, but there was no complacency, but calmly said: "not to mention research, just a hobby."

With eating as a hobby, Lord Xiao is really different.

Qi Ming smiled, and then his dish was served, and Qi Ming moved his chopsticks.

Neither of them spoke during the meal, until after the meal, the waiter removed the plate and brought tea. Qi Ming said, "I thank Brother Xiao on behalf of my brother for what happened before."

Xiao Yuanbai looked up at him and said, "what's the matter?"

Qi Ming replied, "it was said before that my second brother was seeking exorbitant profits."

Qi Ming was a little annoyed at the mention of this.

The drunken hot sale in Jinling has actually attracted the eyes of many people. After all, no one is stupid, and it is natural to guess how much profit Qi Yun has made in it.

Because of Huanning, ordinary people do not dare to challenge the Qi family, but there are always people jealous, irritating and laughing, so someone directly wrote a letter to Chu Chengyun.

Speaking of which, it is a bit ridiculous to trouble the emperor with such a thing.

However, Qi Yun's younger brother is an official, and an official can do business, but seeking profits from the common people is ultimately despised by scholar-officials, and it is not clear that Qi Ming is really involved.

At that time, Xiao Yuanbai stood up to speak to his family, which made Chu Chengyun let it go gently. Qi Ming kept this matter in mind.

However, Xiao Yuanbai is not a man who takes credit casually. He said faintly, "it doesn't have much to do with me, because when the weather was hottest and there was a severe drought in the north, your second brother donated 30,000 yuan to the imperial court, so no one could say what was right and wrong about the Qi family." I was just pushing the boat along the river. Even without me, your second brother would be safe. "

Thirty thousand?

Qi Ming was stupefied. He obviously had never heard of the story of his second brother.

However, on second thought, Qi Yun could have done this, not to mention that 30,000 Yuan is no longer a big deal for Qi Yun. It is not surprising to say that in Qi Ming's mind, Qi Yun was originally a glorious image of serving the country and the people.

But Xiao Yuanbai saw it more clearly, and he understood the benefits of Qi Yun's doing so.

It can not only clear the reputation of the so-called merchants as rich and unbenevolent, but also preserve the value of the 30,000 flowers that no one will use Qi Ming's birth to say things with one stone and kill two birds with one stone.

Xiao Yuanbai also admired Qi Yun's prompt decision in his heart. After all, 30,000 Guan is not a small amount. This person can do this thing perfectly without a sound. Up to now, he has not let out a word, which is really impressive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanbai could not help saying, "if he becomes an official, he will be a capable official. Saburo, you are lucky to have such a brother."

Qi Ming was feeling the great righteousness of his brother, and he also understood that Xiao Yuanbai gave himself simply to protect himself, so after hearing Xiao Yuanbai's words, Qi Ming immediately replied, "it is also a blessing for me to be friends with Brother Xiao."

This is straightforward, but it is very comfortable.

Xiao Yuanbai could not help looking at Qi Ming, and then nodded gently.

Just then, someone passed by the door, saw Xiao Yuanbai and Qi Ming, immediately stood up and saluted them with a smile, and then a series of congratulations were sent to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming was stupefied, and then listened to the man talk about giving marriage.

At that time, when Duan issued the decree, the door was wide open, coupled with the fact that the eunuch's voice was already loud, and the battle to deliver the decree was not small. The area near Qi Yun's mansion was not a high-end family, but mostly a home of merchants, and they were all happy to listen to it.

And the businessman's mouth is the most sharp, the news can spread faster than Qi Ming.

For a while, almost everywhere in the capital, especially those official families, almost all know that the Meng family and the Qi family have married!

This is news that can shock many people. Many people have no time to think about the inside story, so they first find a way to get in touch with Qi Ming. If they want to have a good relationship, they can also get on the boat of the Meng family in the future.

It's just that this is not all a good thing for Qi Ming.

Just like now, a person who doesn't know him suddenly appeared to congratulate him, and Qi Ming had no choice but to do so.

Xiao Yuanbai made up his mind and left the restaurant with Qi Ming after paying the bill, and the two got on the Xiao carriage together.

Those people may have dared to hook up with Qi Ming, but the Xiao family was unusual and could not be offended easily, so when they saw that the two men got into the carriage, the people who wanted to come and talk only looked at them, and some unfortunately spread out.

Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to thank Xiao Yuanbai.

Xiao Yuanbai said to him, "Congratulations."

Qi Ming subconsciously returned the salute, then reacted, raised his eyes and asked, "Brother Xiao, aren't you surprised?"

Xiao Yuanbai looked calm and said, "what's the accident of an established thing?"

This time it was Qi Ming's turn to be surprised: "…". You know that, too? "

"well, my family has distant relatives with the Meng family, so I insist on saying that you will call me cousin after you get married." Xiao Yuanbai looked at him. "Why, you don't know?"

Qi Ming:.

I have no idea.

The whole world knows that I'm going to get married, but I don't know.

The marriage of the two families really set off a lot of wind in the capital. Many people were surprised that the Meng family could marry their daughter low, and more people envied Qi Ming's good luck.

With Qi Yun's business is much better.

However, no one said anything in front of the Qi family, and he envied it in his heart, and it was foolish to say to his face that he was superior to others.

Of course, there have always been many people in this part of the capital, and the marriage of the two families gradually calmed down after being talked about for a few days.

On this day, Xiao Su knocked on the window lattice of the bedroom early in the morning and said to the inside, "Master, Qin sent someone, the ship of his lordship and his wife is coming."

The author has something to say: Qi Ming: suddenly found that colleague became a cousin.

Chu Chengyun: and Lian's brother-in-law

Qi Ming:. Oh.
