Lady Of Fortune Jiao Niang - Chapter 198

Qi Ming was having a reunion dinner at Qi Yun’s mansion when the marriage decree came down.

This is a tacit understanding between the two brothers. Even though Qi Ming has now gotten a house and stayed in a separate house, even if Qi Yun didn’t know, Qi Ming would come over to eat with his brother and sister-in-law during the day off.

Every time he went to Qi Yun’s mansion, Qi Ming would talk to Qi Yun, and then went to see his sister-in-law, and finally he was with Shishi Xubao, and occasionally he would hold Ningbao Ruyi together. Whether it’s reading or playing games, as long as It is with the children, Qi Saburo likes it very much.

Because Ye Jiao loves to eat, the small kitchen in Qi Yun’s Mansion is exceptionally good. You can do everything. Even though it is not all exquisite, they are all very delicious. In addition, Qi Ming is used to eating in Qi Mansion before. He is very familiar with these flavors, so he always gets stuck with food.

When Tie Zi came in and said that someone was spreading an order outside, Qi Ming was working hard to peel the shrimp.

Hearing that it was a sacred decree, Qi Ming immediately put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands with a cloth towel. He looked at Qi Yun with some doubts on his face: “Second brother, do you have any shops to open?”

Qi Yun put the freshly peeled shrimp in Ye Jiao’s bowl, so that she could not worry about eating, and then said to Qi Ming: “This decree is definitely not for me. Don’t worry, wait for you to pick it up. Jiaojiao will go with you.”

Obviously Qi Erlang had already guessed what this was. After all, there have been rumors about the marriage between the Qi family and the Meng family recently, even if it is just a few scattered words, it is still a hindrance to the reputation of the Meng Wu girl.

Coupled with the fact that Qi Saburo’s real estate has already been purchased, the time has come.

Qi Ming went out in a daze. He forgot the shrimp that hadn’t been peeled off on the road. Instead, he thought about what he did that required labor and Chu Chengyun made his will.

After listening to the eunuch’s announcement, Qi Ming was completely confused.

The righteous brother gave him a marriage… Meng, I think it is Zhilan…

This gave Qi Ming a feeling that his dream came true. When he held the imperial decree, he forgot to speak for a while, and stood up and stood in the yard in a daze. When he was exposed to the sun, he didn’t know how to bow his head, but looked at him. To the unknown distance, unblinking, obviously overjoyed.

Qi Yun was calmer. He helped Ye Jiao first and asked her to take a break in the corridor to the side. Don’t have to get the sun, and then said to the palace person who came to announce the will: “Thank you, Father Du ran two local.”

This time, the **** Du An, the chief eunuch, came to the rice paper. The last time he came to Qi Mansion to give the **** coupons, Du An often followed Chu Chengyun. Naturally, he knew that the Qi family was in the emperor’s heart. Unusual.

Even if I went to the Qiming Mansion just now and took a breather, I came to Qi Yun again, but Du An didn’t dare to say no. He just smiled and said: “The words are serious, what our family does is a errand runner. It’s the best job to deliver the will.”

Qi Yun was no longer polite, and just said slowly: “It’s enough to look at the sun. It’s better to stay and have a cup of tea before returning home.”

Although Du An is the **** in charge, he is very busy, but he still has time for tea.

What’s more, seeing this Qi family is about to become prosperous, Du An is naturally willing to make this kind relationship.

Therefore, he no longer declined, and said with a smile: “Then bother.”

Qi Yun raised his hand, and because Du An entered the door, he kicked him in the leg without a trace when passing by Qi Ming.

Because Qi Ming had been out of mind and hadn’t noticed Qi Yun’s movements, even though Qi Yun was useless, Qi Ming’s knees still bend.

Liu Si hurriedly supported him. Seeing that Du An and Qi Yun had entered the door, Liu Si whispered to Qi Ming: “My lord, don’t dry it outside. You can go in and sit.”

However, Qi Ming didn’t move immediately, but as if he was woken up by a kick, he hurriedly lowered his head and opened the imperial edict in his hand.

This imperial decree was made of good silk cloth, but Qi Ming still didn’t dare to use force, only opened it gently, read the words written on it back and forth many times, bit the tip of his tongue again, and made sure he was not here now. Dreaming, then laughed.

Yes, it’s not a dream, he can’t have such a beautiful dream.

Liu Si knew Qi Ming’s joy when he saw Qi Ming’s appearance, so he didn’t say much, just stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Ming’s forearm and pulled it.

Because Liu Si has always been a Qi Ming Shutong, the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Qi Ming was dragged by him without any struggle, instead he followed Liu Si to move forward.

So when Qi Ming entered the door, it was pulled by Liusi, and Qi Saburo’s eyes were still on the imperial edict.

Qi Yun took a look, trying to divert Du An’s sight and prevent him from seeing his brother’s embarrassment.

But soon Qi Erlang thought about it again, and said naturally to Qi Ming: “Put the imperial decree well, don’t neglect.”

Qi Ming nodded first, and then he answered, jogging all the way to leave with the imperial edict.

In fact, it is not the first time that Qi Jia Saburo took the decree, but he never made him happy this time.

This is not just a will, this is his happy life in the future, and he should naturally be protected!

And the appearance of Qi Saburo was also seen by Du An, and he couldn’t help but smiled: “Master Qi is so lively, we still see it for the first time.”

Qi Yun shook his head helplessly: “He has been overjoyed too. After all, it is a major life event that can be valued by the emperor. It is normal to be happy, but it makes Du Gonggong laugh.”

Du An laughed, unavoidably complimenting Qi Ming, but thinking of Chu Chengyun’s advice before.

Before Du An came out to declare the decree, Chu Chengyun called him over and told him that he must write down Qi Ming’s reaction and expression, and then go back and tell him carefully.

Du An didn’t know that his emperor was actually holding back the childish thoughts that he wanted to see Qi Ming stunned. He only felt that there must be a mystery in such a warning, so he had been paying attention to Qi Ming.

Seeing Master Qi’s lively jogging all the way, Du An was also relieved.

At least I can tell Chu Chengyun back when I go back, Duan thinks that he must describe it vividly.

After Qi Ming put the imperial decree in place, when he went back, Du An was no longer visible.

Ye Jiao had already sat back at the dining table, smiling at Qi Yun who was picking her bones for herself. Seeing Qi Ming came back, Ye Jiao said: “Sanlang, come and eat.”

At this moment, Qi Ming had recovered some usual calmness. Hearing this, he first bowed to Qi Yun and Ye Jiao before sitting down.

Seeing that there were shrimps in the bowl that he had peeled in half, Qi Ming then finished peeling them and put them in his mouth.

The prawns are springy, with some sweetness.

My heart is sweet about this moment, so everything I eat is sweet.

Seeing that Qi Ming could laugh at all meals, Ye Jiao also curled his mouth, thinking about Saburo and Zhilan’s marriage, which was considered serious and settled on the road.

Ye Jiao likes Meng Wu girl very much.

Since the last time they met in Shi’s orchard, the two have seen each other at other tea parties.

It’s true that Ms. Wu’s heart is successful, but Ye Jiao never thinks that being mindful is a bad thing. On the contrary, when she was still a little ginseng essence buried in the soil, she saw a lot of calculating each other for cultivation, and she was a thousand years old. Ginseng essence is the most tonic. He is often chased all over the mountain. After meeting the little fox, he can escape several dangerous situations by relying on the little fox’s dexterity. Ye Jiao has always felt that only a small eye can make a good living.

As long as her heart is upright and kind, she likes it.

And girl Meng Wu was born beautiful, spoke polite and courteous, and treated Ye Jiao very frankly. Ye Jiao naturally had a good impression of her.

Now that the relationship is settled, Ye Jiao is also happy for the two of them, and said to Qi Yun: “It was just right when this decree came. My mother wrote to say that I had taken someone out with my dad. It’s time to get to the capital in a few days.”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ming stayed for a while. He was choked up and down after taking a bite. When Liu Si on the side saw this, he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Ming to let him go.

After finally getting comfortable, Qi Ming’s eyes widened and his tone was shocked: “Daddy is coming?”

Ye Jiao was asking Qi Ming to serve soup, fearing that he would choke again, and said: “Yes, I told Saburo to kiss him during the Chinese New Year. This time my father and mother came with the bride price. Sablang, you will Remember to prepare, your parents are going to live in your house.”

Qi Ming is very glad that he has nothing in his mouth now, so he won’t choke again, but his voice is still a little squat: “I will say dear during the New Year… Why don’t I know?”

Qi Yun glanced at him lightly, “Ask yourself.”

Qi Ming:…

However, Qi Ming didn’t go into the specific reason. All his current thoughts are on the matter of getting married with Mengwu Girl. The whole person is triumphant. When he left his second brother’s house, he almost hummed a little song. On the carriage.

Qi Yun, who was looking at him at the door, couldn’t help but said, “If there is a tail, I’m afraid he will be up to the sky.”

Ye Jiao smiled and said, “It’s a good thing to get married, it’s normal to be happy.”

Seeing Qi Ming’s carriage walking far away, Qi Yun held Ye Jiao’s hand and walked back with her. He asked, “Then my wife, what’s the best way to get married?”

When Ye Jiao heard it, she turned her head and thought carefully, then she shook her fingers and counted Qi Yun: “If you have good food, you don’t need to run around to sleep well. If you eat fish, there will be people picking thorns, and Xubao Ningbao. Wishful.”

Qi Yun didn’t speak, but just looked at her fixedly, and saw that Ye Jiao hadn’t talked about herself. Although she couldn’t see anything on her face, she was still a little disappointed in her heart.

But soon, Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao say: “More importantly, there is a mate,” Ye Jiao held Qi Yun and smiled at him. “The mate treats me well. Very good.”

This is simple, but every word can penetrate Qi Yun’s heart.

He couldn’t help but glanced aside. Tiezi and Xiaosu were both knowingly and interestingly turning away their faces and not looking at them. Qi Yun only then leaned in front of Ye Jiao, kissed her on the cheek, and whispered: “Jiao Niang That’s right, it’s great to get married.”

Ye Jiao wrapped Qi Yun’s waist and said softly, “But I don’t understand, why didn’t I tell Saburo?”

The corner of Qi Yun’s mouth was slightly raised, his eyebrows were soft, and he said slowly: “It was the one in the palace who contributed to this marriage. He is willing to protect the matchmaker, so naturally he has to talk to Saburo personally.”

Only Chu Chengyun had the ability to bring together the two people of the Meng family and Qi family that were so far apart.

Qi Yun didn’t choose to break, because he was afraid that there would be trouble before the marriage.

But if Chu Chengyun were allowed to do this, not only would it not be troublesome, but it would also be a good story.

Ye Jiao still didn’t quite understand: “Then why didn’t he say?”

Qi Yun said lightly: “It’s probably to see Saburo’s shocked look.” Just now Qi Yun deliberately let Du An see Qi Ming’s failure because of Chu Chengyun’s temper.

This emperor, no matter how wise his policies and how sophisticated he is, he is especially childish in many small things.

There is nothing wrong with making Chu Chengyun happy, and it is also beneficial to his third brother.

Ye Jiao still looked at Qi Erlang and said, “What about you, you didn’t say anything.”

Qi Yun’s voice was calm: “Because I also want to see Saburo’s shocked look, sure enough, it’s very interesting.”

At this moment, Qi Ming, who had been seen twice as a Jinger, did not go back to the house immediately, but wandered around the capital in excitement.

Normal Qi Ming didn’t have such thoughts.

Although there are a lot of errands in the Privy Council, the court has always treated the officials kindly, and the days of rest are never cut off. Qi Ming always has his own time.

It’s just that the officials next to them like to organize some poetry parties in private, or watch a play and have a drink in groups. As long as they are not contaminated with illegal things, the court will not restrict them too much.

However, Qi Ming was not interested in these things. He didn’t even like to walk around the shops on the street. He didn’t go anywhere besides the book stand.

I would rather study and write at home when I have free time, or I would write poetry and essays, and be always ready to discuss with my righteous brother.

But today’s Qi Ming is a bit unusual. He now has not only his own personality, but also a future lady. He admired Meng Wu girl before, but at that time Qi Ming thought that after all, the two are different between men and women. Besides, Meng Wu The girl is a woman, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the reputation of her boudoir. Even if they are happy, they can’t get too close, otherwise it will tarnish the reputation of Mengwu girl. Therefore, Qi Ming has the heart to give her something, but every time she doesn’t dare to be true. To send it off, for fear of causing trouble to Meng Wu girl.

But now it’s different. That’s the lady who hasn’t passed the door. It’s justified for him to buy things for the future lady!

So Qi Ming suddenly had great enthusiasm, got out of the carriage, and walked around the street with Liu Si.

Qi Ming thinks that Meng Wu girl will like jewelry stores, clothing stores, four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and painting, but he also feels that the ordinary objects don’t match the beauty.

Therefore, Qi Ming strolled for a long time, and finally only bought a hairpin made of mutton fat and white jade.

Liu Si continued to follow, until the end was a little sore, but Liu Si looked at Qi Ming and found that his adult was not tired at all, but the more he walked, the happier he was.

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

At this moment, he walked several streets with a strong momentum, and he was happy to stroll, but Qi Ming is a scholar, and his usual exercise is to walk so many times in the yard every night. If Qi Ming is allowed to go If you go on shopping like this, Tomorrow’s legs will inevitably be sore.

But Liu Si was not easy to say straight, so he turned his mind and said to Qi Ming: “My lord, take a break, I can’t walk a little anymore.”

Changing to an ordinary young man who talks like this, I am afraid that it will be useless by the host.

But Liu Si is different. Qi Ming is used to protecting him, and he was said by Liu Si. Qi Ming finally felt a little tired after the blood was on his head, so he stopped and said to Liu Si: “Then we Go find a place to sit.”

Liusi nodded repeatedly, then looked around, and said, “That’s Qijia Restaurant.”

This restaurant is Qi Yun’s property, and the cook inside is first-class craftsmanship. Chu Chengyun also praised it when he came to eat before, and Qi Ming often came to eat.

Since it was the place he was used to, Qi Ming stopped hesitating and walked towards the restaurant with Six Thoughts.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him and said with a smile: “Master Qi is here, but are you going to the private room upstairs?”

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

He then said to the shopkeeper: “I’m going to find someone to talk to, so go ahead.”

The shopkeeper arched his hands and pushed aside.

Qi Ming strode over, and smiled after standing still, “Brother Xiao, why didn’t you come with Brother Guo today?”

It was Xiao Yuanbai sitting at the table.

He raised his head and saw that it was Qi Ming. He raised his hand and motioned him to sit opposite him. His voice was faint: “The man has always eaten food, he can’t eat any delicate dishes, and ginseng fruit can also be swallowed. I won’t invite him when I taste good food.”

Qi Ming didn’t feel how rude Xiao Yuanbai said Guo Chengji’s remarks. After all, Guo Chengji had never seen him show mercy when he spoke of Xiao Yuanbai.

The two of them have always been incapable of saying good things to each other when they are face to face and when they are behind their backs, but the relationship is getting better and better, and they can help each other when facing up, which is also new.

What Qi Ming noticed were a few dishes of dishes in front of Xiao Yuanbai.

These are all dishes that Qi Ming hadn’t seen in the restaurant before, but now they look natural and fresh.

However, he didn’t argue with Xiao Yuanbai about this stuttering. Instead, he asked Liusi to sit at another table and order whatever he ate. Qi Ming would pay the bill together later, and then he asked the shopkeeper for two and got used to it. Dishes.

Xiao Yuanbai looked at Qi Ming and said, “Don’t try something new?”

Qi Ming smiled and shook his head: “I just close my mouth when I eat, not looking for fresh ones.”

Xiao Yuanbai nodded when he heard the words, did not say anything, just focused on the dishes in front of him, and tasted them seriously.

In fact, Xiao Yuanbai was born in a high-ranking family, and he has seen all kinds of delicacies, but Master Xiao seems to be born with a golden tongue, which is extremely difficult to serve. He is very picky about what he eats, and he can’t eat anything wrong.

Some people are greedy, but Xiao Yuanbai is very picky. It is difficult for ordinary cooks to catch him.

Now that he finally found a restaurant he was used to eating, Xiao Yuanbai often came.

Qi Ming looked at him and couldn’t help saying: “Since Brother Xiao likes it so much, it’s better to ask the cook to make a separate one and send it to the house every day.”

Xiao Yuanbai faintly replied: “It’s not the same. This dish has to be freshly cooked, and it won’t make any difference. And this fire is not easy to burn out on the stove of ordinary people. We must grasp the fire well and grasp the timing. It’s good, and it’s necessary to have the best taste in every process from cutting vegetables to cooking.”

Qi Ming was a little surprised when he heard this: “Unexpectedly, Brother Xiao has such a research on eating.”

Xiao Yuanbai was exaggerated, but he didn’t have any pride. Instead, he calmly said: “I can’t talk about research, just a hobby.”

Using food as a hobby, Master Xiao is really different.

Qi Ming smiled. At this time, his dishes were also brought up, and Qi Ming moved his chopsticks.

The two did not speak during the meal. Until the end of the meal, Xiao Er removed the plate and brought the fragrant tea. Qi Ming said, “For the previous thing, my brother, my brother, thank you Xiao brother.”

Xiao Yuanbai raised his eyes to look at him: “What’s the matter?”

Qi Ming replied: “It’s because someone said before that my second brother made huge profits.”

When it comes to this, Qi Ming is a little annoyed.

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

Because Hua Ning is there, ordinary people don’t dare to challenge the Qi family, but there are always people jealous, irritating and laughing, so there are so many people who directly wrote the book and told Chu Chengyun.

Speaking of it, it’s ridiculous to trouble the emperor with this kind of thing.

However, Qi Yun’s younger brother was an official, and those who were officials could do business and sit on the job, but after all, it was disdain for the scholar-officials to profit from the common people, and it was not clear that Qi Ming was really involved.

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

However, Xiao Yuanbai was not a casual person. He said indifferently: “It has nothing to do with me. It is because of the severe drought in the north when the weather was the hottest. Your second brother donated 30,000 silver coins to the court. That’s why no one can tell the Qi family’s right and wrong. I was just pushing the boat along the river. Even without me, your second brother would be safe.”

Thirty thousand?

Qi Ming was taken aback. He obviously hadn’t heard of this incident of his second brother.

But on second thought, Qi Yun did this, not to mention that 30,000 Guans are now nothing to Qi Yun. In Qi Ming’s mind, Qi Yun was originally a country and people. The glorious image is nothing strange.

But Xiao Yuanbai could see more clearly, he understood the benefits of Qi Yun doing this.

Not only can the so-called merchants’ reputation for being rich and unkind can be cleared, but also the value of these 30,000 quinces can be preserved in the future when no one uses Qi Ming’s background to talk about things.

Xiao Yuanbai also admired Qi Yun’s decisive decision. After all, 30,000 sticks were not a small number. This person could accomplish this task quietly, and it was really powerful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanbai couldn’t help but say: “If he enters an official position, he will serve as an official for capable officials. Saburo, you have such a brother, it is your blessing.”

Qi Ming was sighing in his heart that his brother had great righteousness, and at the same time he also understood that Xiao Yuanbai gave himself up to protect himself, so after hearing Xiao Yuanbai’s words at this moment, Qi Ming immediately replied: “Can be with Xiao brother Being friends is also my blessing.”

This is straightforward, but very comfortable.

Xiao Yuanbai couldn’t help looking at Qi Ming, and then nodded lightly.

At this moment, someone passed by the door, saw Xiao Yuanbai and Qi Ming, and immediately stood still, smiled and saluted them, and then a series of congratulations were sent to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming was taken aback, and then he heard the man talk about the gift of marriage.

When Du An declared the decree, the door was wide open, and the eunuch’s voice was already loud, and the battle to send the decree was not small. The vicinity of Qi Yun’s mansion was not a high-ranking family, but mostly merchants. Home, are also happy to listen to the excitement.

The businessman’s mouth was the most agile, and the news spread faster than Qi Ming.

In just such a moment, it spread almost everywhere in the capital, especially those officials and eunuchs who almost knew that the Meng family and the Qi family were married!

This is news that shocked many people. Many people didn’t have time to think about the inside story, so they first found a way to contact Qi Ming. If they want to build a good relationship, they can also get on the boat of the Meng family.

It’s just that this is not all good for Qi Ming.

Just like now, when someone he didn’t know suddenly appeared to congratulate him, Qi Ming felt a little helpless.

Xiao Yuanbai made a prompt decision, and after paying the bill, pulled Qi Ming away from the restaurant, and the two got into the Xiao family carriage together.

Those people may dare to get close to Qi Ming, but this Xiao family is unusual and can’t easily offend them, so after seeing these two people in the carriage, those who want to come over to talk will just look at them, and it’s a pity that they dispersed.

Qi Ming took a sigh of relief, ready to thank Xiao Yuanbai.

Just listen to Xiao Yuanbai saying to him: “Congratulations.”

Qi Ming subconsciously bowed his hand in return, and then reacted, raising his eyes and asking, “Don’t you feel surprised, Brother Xiao?”

Xiao Yuanbai’s expression was calm: “What is the surprise of the established thing?”

This time it was Qi Ming’s turn to be surprised: “…you know?”

“Well, my family has distant relatives with the Meng family, so if you insist, you will call my cousin after you get married.” Xiao Yuanbai looked at him, “Why, don’t you know?”

Qi Ming:…

do not know.

The whole world knew that I was going to get married, but I didn’t know…

The marriage between 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 down, and more people envied Qi Ming’s good luck.

Even Qi Yun’s business has improved a lot.

However, no one said anything in front of the Qi family, just envious in his heart. It is silly to say that others are climbing in person.

Of course, the capital has always been crowded with people. The marriage between the two families has only been talked about for a few days, and it has gradually calmed down.

On this day, Xiao Su knocked on the window lattice of the bedroom early in the morning, and said to the inside: “Master, Qin Guan Shi sent the people, the master and madam’s boat is coming.”

The author has something to say: Qi Ming: Suddenly discovered that his colleague has changed his cousin

Chu Chengyun: And brother-in-law

Qi Ming:…oh
