Yun Yao smiled, and she smiled contentedly as she reached out and stroked Qi Jing's long hair.

"Since I dare to take these things out, I must have made all the preparations, even if something happens in the future, I can protect our own people."

Qi Jing got up suddenly, and looked at Yun Yao with a surprised face: "No wonder you handed over the drawings so lightly, it turned out, no wonder." ”

Yun Yao said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious, our majesty looks fine now, who knows what will happen in the future, our family's foundation is unstable, and it can't be compared with those big families, how can I keep a few more hands." ”

As she spoke, she took Qi Jing's hand: "You can rest assured that you will be your official, and you can rest assured to do some practical things that benefit the country and the people, and you don't have to think too much about other things." ”

Qi Jing suddenly felt a little more guilty in his heart, and his heart seemed to be heavy and pressed a lot of things.

He tightened his clenched hand: "I owe it to you." ”

"Between husband and wife, what is the debt is not owed." Yun Yao smiled and shook her head: "The whole family lives, which one is not full of strength, if you can make ten efforts, you will never exert eight points of strength, you are fighting for the power and status of this family outside, I can't do those things, but I should also do my best, our days can get better and better, I can't ask you to work hard in front, I'll sit back and enjoy it at home." ”

Hearing her words, Qi Jing couldn't help but smile, and held Yun Yao's hand tightly: "What I said is that we all do our best to live a good life, after all, we have a clear conscience, if there is something wrong in the future, we are not the one who can't live with people." ”

Yun Yao nodded lightly, and before she was about to speak, she heard Haitang say outside: "Master, wife, old lady invites you to come over." ”

When Yun Yao heard this, she hurriedly straightened her appearance, and combed Qi Jing's hair again, and the two of them went out.

The place where they lived was not far from the main house, and they didn't walk much before they passed, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw that Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu were there, and the old couple smiled with wrinkled faces.

"Come and sit down."

Qi Gu beckoned to Yun Yao.

Yun Yao took a few steps over and sat down beside Qi Gu's family, tilting her head to look at Qi Gu's family: "What did Dad tell us to do?" ”

"Your father is happy." Qi Gu patted Yun Yao's hand: "Since Yanzhou was ceded to Beiliang, our family has not returned to our hometown to worship our ancestors for several years, and I don't know what is happening to the ancestral tomb now, no, your father heard that the court won the battle, not only recovered Yanzhou, but also went to Yunzhou City, and captured the emperor of Beiliang alive, so he thought that he had to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, otherwise, he would be really sorry for his ancestors." ”

"That's as it should be." Yun Yao nodded: "It's just that the weather is cold now, and my father and mother are old, so it's inconvenient to go back and forth this time, what if I get sick?" Why don't you go back next spring? ”

Qi Jing also said: "Yes, what the third sister said is that after all, so many years have passed, and it is not bad for these few months, Dad will leave next spring, and I will find someone to escort you when the time comes." ”

When Qi Laoniu heard this, he lowered his face: "Earlier, if we didn't go back, there was no way, we couldn't go back to worship our ancestors, so that the ancestors broke their roots, and now Yanzhou has taken it back, if we don't go back, I'm really sorry for the ancestors." ”

Qi Jing saw that Qi Laoniu was angry, and he quickly got up in fright, and stood aside with his hands and did not dare to speak.

Yun Yao also stood up, she was not afraid, but smiled: "What is this called by my father, Xianggong is not that unfilial person, isn't this worrying about my father's body, I and Xianggong also discussed earlier, first send someone to Lotus Town to send a letter, ask the local parents or fellow villagers and friends to help us repair the ancestral tomb, first burn a paper for the ancestors, and then add some offerings, or send a family member to worship in the past, after all, we can't let the ancestors lack money, can't lack food and clothing, and wait for the spring next year, we will send our father and mother back." ”

As soon as Yun Yao said this, Qi Laoniu's face softened slightly: "If there is really no way, it can only be like this, but we must first have filial piety as children and grandchildren, and if we can go by ourselves, we can't entrust others." ”

"Yes." Yun Yao smiled like a flower: "Xianggong also thinks so, but he not only has ancestors on his head, but also his father wants to be filial, the ancestors have been in the soil for many years, and Xianggong will be filial in his heart, but his father and mother are close at hand, and he must be more filial, if he ignores his father and mother just for the sake of the ancestors' rest, Xianggong will not be able to pass in his heart, so he is even more embarrassed than his father, and his father will spare him this time for the sake of his filial piety." ”

Yun Yao was excusing Qi Jing every word, and the anger in Qi Laoniu's heart, which was full of laughter and violence, was gone.

With a smile on his face, he touched his beard: "Okay, this time it's okay to look at the third sister's face." ”

Yun Yao hurriedly smiled and saluted.

Qi Laoniu glared at Qi Jing: "Who are you still doing this to show you, I don't know how fierce I am as a father, why don't you sit down and discuss." ”

Qi Jing hurriedly agreed and sat down again.

However, his gaze when he looked at Yun Yao was extremely useful.

Qi Gu saw that her daughter-in-law was defending her son, and every word was towards her son, she was also satisfied and happy, and at this time, seeing that Qi Laoniu was out of anger, she glared at Qi Laoniu: "Dead old man, what kind of score to put in front of his son, he is now also a family and an official, you have to save some face for him, and train him in front of his daughter-in-law, this is not sure to make him ashamed." ”

Qi Gu's anger, Qi Laoniu only had to stare dryly.

Qi Gu pulled Yun Yao over and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's hard for you, when you meet such a promising father-in-law, and when you meet a confused Aunt Weng like us, the affairs of the family have to rely on you, you don't say a word or two of complaining, but always have a smile and a smile to welcome people, this is the matter today, if it is the daughter-in-law of another family, I am afraid that there will be a complaint in my heart, but you can laugh and argue with Brother Jing, and not say a little bad word about your father-in-law, it is really rare." ”

"Mother, you've won the prize." Yun Yao sat down and pulled Qi Gu's coquettishness: "You can also tolerate me like this, if you put it in someone else's house, where will I have the right to speak." ”

"It's always you, and we're good." Qi Gu smiled even more happily, pulled her and said, "Who did you say to go back to Yanzhou to guard the grave of our family?" ”

Yun Yao thought for a while: "I think it's most appropriate to ask Uncle Zhu's youngest son to go." ”

"The Zhu family boy?"

Qi Gu frowned: "Isn't he a little stupid?" ”

But as soon as Qi Laoniu heard Yun Yao say that the youngest son of the Zhu family, he immediately made a decision: "This idea is good, so I will ask the Zhu family boy to go." ”

"This ......" Qi Gu was still a little dissatisfied: "Old man, this Zhu family kid is a fool, can he be asked to go back?" ”

Qi Laoniu glared: "What do you know, although this Zhu family kid is a little silly, he is not stupid, most things can be done, the most important thing is that this kid is loyal, and he has a tendon, you tell him to guard the ancestral grave, remember to worship the ancestors, he will never make a mistake, let alone steal and play tricks, it is best to ask him to go." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Laoniu said again: "And Lao Zhu has been loyal all these years, he has done a lot of things for us, and he has all the credit and hard work, and his other children are all clever, just this one is simple, there is no work, Lao Zhu is also worried, and asked his boy to go over to see the grave, and he also pointed out a job for him, which is regarded as a reward for Lao Zhu." ”

Qi Gu stopped talking.

She is a woman from a rural family, although she is cool and capable, she really doesn't have so much heart, and she doesn't want to have so much attention in the work of looking at the grave.

Qi Gu quietly glanced at Yun Yao, thinking that when she asked just now, Yun Yao didn't think about it and said that she wanted to call the Zhu family boy, which shows the depth of Yun Yao's scheming, no wonder the old man of her family said earlier that she should be nice to Yun Yao, otherwise she would offend this daughter-in-law, and she would have to thank others.

But later, Qi Gu's thought that it would be good to have such a smart and caring daughter-in-law who can stand up to the door and live at home, at least his own family will not suffer, as long as the daughter-in-law's mind is towards her own family.

Thinking like this, Qi Gu was a little silly.

Qi Laoniu, don't look silent, but Qi Gu's eyes he has already seen through, looking at his old wife smirking there, it's also a headache, the daughter-in-law is too shrewd, and the mother-in-law is too stupid, it's really ......

Qi Jing looked at Yun Yao and then at Qi Gu's, smiled, and said in his heart that this is fine, at least there is no contradiction between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the province makes sandwich cakes by themselves.

"Then call the Zhu family boy." Qi Gu smiled and made a decision, and then looked at Yun Yao: "This time the court won the battle, the news came, how many people in Chang'an City were happy, and many ministers also asked His Majesty to hold a lantern festival, and asked His Majesty to hold a lantern festival on the royal street, and asked the people to sing and dance on the royal street, and allowed the people to celebrate for three days, and His Majesty approved it immediately. ”

"Tie lanterns?" Yun Yao was also very happy when she heard it: "This is fun, this time the court has won a big victory, I don't know how many people are happy, and wait, from Ming'er, the whole Chang'an will be brightly lit up." ”

Qi Jing couldn't help frowning: "The lantern festival is good, but it is also easy to catch fire, it seems that the Imperial Forest Army and the Forbidden Army have to be well prepared, and they have to carefully inspect everywhere to avoid causing fires." ”

Qi Laoniu also said: "It's time to inspect and prevent something from happening when there are too many people, you know, I always like this kind of time, if the inspection is not thoughtful, maybe which family will lose the child again." ”

The two discussed it word by word, so that Qi Gu and Yun Yao didn't have the heart to laugh.

After sitting for a while, Yun Yao and Qi Jing got up to say goodbye.

After returning to the house, Yun Yao immediately called Butler Zhu and asked him to clean up his son's good life, and sent his boy to Yanzhou to guard the ancestral tomb of the Qi family's ancestral house.

After telling Steward Zhu about this matter, Yun Yao called the craftsmen raised in the house and asked them to use all their skills to tie a few good lanterns.

These craftsmen raised by the Qi family are all from Suzhou, earlier when Yun Yao made a textile machine, he asked them to contribute, and then Yun Yao did a lot of exquisite plays, they also helped a lot, in terms of craftsmanship, although these craftsmen are not top-notch, but they are also first-class.

These people are used to making delicate objects, and it is really a piece of cake for them to tie a few lanterns, at the moment, these people should go, go back and think about it, and draw drawings to ask Yun Yao. (To be continued.) )
