The first is to ask for pink.

……

Mu Hong has a bold temperament, and there are not so many "sour Confucians" (Mu Hongyu) in the family, and because Qi Younian saved Ji Xiaotang, he already regards Qi Younian as his own person, so he only set up a banquet.

Shen is also very enthusiastic about Qi Younian.

"I was in a hurry at the time, and I haven't thanked Qi Qianhu properly." Ji Xiaotang officially gave Qi Younian a gift.

Qi Younian gave way to the side, meaning that he refused to accept Ji Xiaotang's gift, and then hurriedly returned the gift.

“…… I hid in the mountains for two days just to catch those thieves. At that time, I was afraid of offending Xiaotang, and asked Xiaotang not to be surprised. Qi Younian was talking about his ragged clothes and dirty clothes at that time.

Saying this, Qi Younian seemed a little embarrassed. Thinking that he deliberately cleaned up today, it was also because of the situation at that time. Ji Xiaotang laughed secretly in his heart, Qi Younian was not embarrassed at all at that time.

Maybe I didn't care about it under the circumstances.

"That's who we are." Mu Hong laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this Qi Qianhu, our Xiaotang is not such a twisted girl." ”

Qi Younian nodded, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ji Xiaotang.

"Uncle Mu, you and I are comrades, if Uncle Mu doesn't dislike it, just call me Ayou." Qi Younian bowed to Mu Hong.

When Mu Hong heard this, he was very happy, and he did not pretend to refuse, but called Ayou affectionately.

"Be fellow of your peers." Mu Hong said to Qi Younian again, "It's most appropriate for you to call me only one brother." ”

"That's not right, there are two brothers here." Qi Younian glanced at Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao with a smile.

If he is commensurate with Mu Hong's peers, then Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao, who are older than him, have to call him uncle, and speaking of which, they are also comrades.

"That's fine." Mu Hong thought about it, and recognized Qi Younian's Uncle Mu.

"In this way, wouldn't I suffer the most." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"It's okay, let's talk about it." Qi Younian smiled, and his eyes bent into crescents again. He often laughs when he speaks, and only when he smiles at Ji Xiaotang will his eyes bend into crescents. "Xiaotang still calls me Ayou."

Opinions on this matter are divided. Some said that Ji Xiaotang wanted to call Qi Younian uncle, some said that he should not be called uncle, he should be called uncle, and some said that it was best to be called by his peers.

"It's still called by peers, I'm afraid that Xiaotang will call me old." Qi Younian seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, everyone laughed, and no one argued about it anymore.

Ji Xiaotang immediately called the girls Jin'er and Xiu'er in. When she came to Fucheng, she couldn't have no one around to serve, so she brought the two big girls in the house, and the two little girls Cui'er and Bi'er also followed, and now they are serving in the ear room.

Jin'er held a splendid package, and Xiu'er held two brocade boxes.

"It's not a thank you gift. I heard my grandfather say that you are here alone, and it is inconvenient to take care of many things, and here are some clothes and rulers, as well as daily things, all of which you can use. Ji Xiaotang said to Qi Younian, "If you don't accept it, you won't recognize me as friends with my uncle." ”

It's not a thank you gift, it's a gift from friends. Qi Younian didn't want to accept it, but now he can't help it.

"A manly man, money is an external thing. If you refuse, you won't be a hero, and I look down on you. Mu Hong said with a tiger face.

Now, Qi Younian can't be harvested.

The things prepared by Ji Xiaotang are very intimate, knowing that Qi Younian has just been promoted to deputy Qianhu, and many things need to be purchased, Ji Xiaotang has already prepared everything in this gift.

In addition to the ruler and other things used in daily life, there are also five ingots in the baggage.

There is not much silver, and Qi Younian does not have any burden to collect it.

As the crowd spoke, they couldn't help but get closer and closer, and when the banquet was placed, the atmosphere became more harmonious and warm.

Mu Hong is a good wine, the two brothers of the Mu family have been in the army since they were children, and they are also quite drinkable, and Master Ji San is also a drinker. As for Qi Younian, just look at him smiling, only saying that the amount of wine is not good, but he also follows the wine to the cup, and he is always smiling, and his face remains the same.

Soon, the wine cup in front of these people was replaced by a wine bowl.

"Let them drink it today." Shen smiled.

Shen, Ji Xiaotang, Mu's grandmother Zhang, and Mu Wanjie all had small wine cups in front of them.

Ji Xiaotang found that not only did the Zhang family drink a lot, but even the Shen family was also calm after a few glasses of wine.

"We girls don't learn from them, let's drink at will to drive away the cold." Shen said, secretly observing Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang drank a few cups with Shen, but he didn't feel anything.

Shen smiled and served Ji Xiaotang vegetables.

"Your mother followed your grandfather and drank a lot. You're afraid you don't know. Shen said to Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

Ji Xiaotang showed a surprised expression, and then nodded with a smile.

Shen sighed softly.

After all, there were female dependents present, and although Mu Hong was happy, he didn't completely let go of the amount, and deliberately kept some Sven. This is mainly because I am afraid of scaring Ji Xiaotang.

By the time the banquet was withdrawn, Mu Hong had already regarded Qi Younian and Master Ji San as his own nephews.

These two people drank well, and they were right about Mu Hong's temper. In Mu Hong's opinion, if you can't drink, you are not a man, let alone a real hero.

Since that day, Qi Younian has often come to the Mu family from different places and has become a frequent visitor to the Mu family.

Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang stayed in the Mu family, and the next day Ji Xiaotang left only the chief steward Ji Zhong and the martial master Li Ziyu, as well as a few small servants who served Master Ji San, and sent the rest of the nursing homes back.

Ji Xiaotang also wrote a letter and asked the nursing home to bring it to Master Ji and Mrs. Ji.

As for the content of the letter, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San discussed it for a long time.

"Do you want to talk about the mountain bandits?" If you say it, I'm afraid that Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er will be worried. But if you don't say it, is it really good?

"It's an extraordinary thing, and when it's an extraordinary time, it's better to let your family know." Ji Xiaotang thought about it and said.

Thinking about what is about to happen next, maintaining a false peace for a while will not be beneficial to the Ji family at all.

After discussing it like this, Ji Xiaotang told the matter of the mountain bandits in the letter, and revealed her own speculation. These mountain bandits are coming for her and Master Ji San.

I'm afraid it's not for robbery, but for killing.

Ji Xiaotang didn't know if he was the target, but Master Ji San was sure that he was.

The prodigal son of Ji San turned around and took the imperial examination again and passed the county examination. Some people regard Master Ji San as a threat, and they want to get rid of Master Ji San before they become a climate.

As for who this person is......

In the letter, Ji Xiaotang reminded Ji Er that he should always pay attention to the movements in Qingyuan County and be careful everywhere.

……

On this day, Ji Xiaotang just went to Master Ji San's place to watch Master Ji San's writing and endorsement for a while, and then returned to the upper room of the main courtyard to accompany Shen to talk and do needlework.

Shen finally gave birth to a daughter, but after getting married, she couldn't get along, although the eldest daughter-in-law she married was cool and filial, but she didn't have a little daughter at all, and she didn't give birth to a delicate granddaughter, and now that Ji Xiaotang is here, some of the desires in Shen's heart can finally be satisfied.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji also love Ji Xiaotang very much, but Ji Xiaotang has not been spoiled like this.

There seems to be a quality in Shen's body that makes people who are close to her can't help but soften their temperament. Even Ji Xiaotang was by Shen's side, and he couldn't help but lower the volume.

It is no wonder that a person with a fiery temper like Mu Hong can calm down under Shen's soft words.

Ji Xiaotang was talking to Shen about Second Mrs. Ji when he heard Mu Wanjie's voice.

Immediately, a little girl came in to report that Qi You was coming.

Today, Muhun and his son all have errands, so they are not at home.

Qi Younian called Mu Hong and Shen's Uncle Mu and aunt, who were already regarded as the nephews of the Mu family, so they were able to come to the back house.

Shen hurriedly said the request.

When the words landed, Mu Wanjie's giggles and talking were in the courtyard.

The little girl opened the curtain, Qi Younian walked in from outside with two packs of snacks in one hand and Mu Wanjie in the other.

"I happened to have no errands today, I was nearby, and I happened to see Xiaojie playing outside...... Qi Younian said with a smile, handing over two packs of dim sum, "It's Chen Ji's chestnut soup that my aunt loves to eat, and Xiaotang and Xiaojie's favorite gourd alley kidney bean rolls." ”

Chen Ji and Hulu Lane are one in the south of the city, the other in the north of the city, and then to the Beiguanfang Hutong in the east of the city, which almost bypasses the entire Ren'an City.

But Qi Younian said that he was passing by around here, and it seemed that he came to Mu's house because he saw Mu Wanjie!

Shen didn't expose it, so he smiled and asked the little girl to take the snack bag, while letting Qi Younian sit and let the little girl bring tea.

Mu Wanjie jumped out of Qi Younian's arms at this time, rolled in Shen's arms coquettishly, and got tired of Ji Xiaotang's side.

"What has Ayo been up to lately?" Shen asked.

It has been four days since Qi You last came to the Mu family. This has never happened since Ji Xiaotang came.

"Shangfeng arranged an errand and went to Ping'an County." Qi Younian's answer was very concise, he had just come back from outside, cleaned up neatly, ran around and bought Shen and Ji Xiaotang's favorite food, and came to the door.

Leaving Ren An for an errand is commonplace for him. Not to mention four days, there are two or three months, or even half a year. But this time was different, and he was desperate to come back.

When he saw the city gate of Ren'an, Qi Younian's heart was excited.

When he entered Ren'an City, he knew that what he was missing was not this city, but someone who was in the city at the moment.

finally saw Ji Xiaotang, although the two of them didn't say a word, Qi Younian felt that a certain gap in his heart had finally been filled.

He was already diligent, but he didn't need to make additional excuses. But it is precisely because of this kind of thinking that he has always had a successful heart, and he is a little weak today, so he said such contradictory words.

"I heard my grandfather say that this errand is very dangerous, isn't it?" Ji Xiaotang had already put down the needle and thread in his hand and asked Qi Younian with a smile.

"There is a little danger," Qi Younian said, although he did not deny it, he said it lightly. "But it's all settled." Not only was it successfully resolved, but it was also half the time ahead of the original plan.

"I didn't hurt it." Shen Shi hurriedly asked. This kind of thing is also familiar to her. Mu Hong, Mu Jiaying, and Mu Jiahao all had such times. She only cared if they were well, but she never asked what kind of errand they were doing.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm fine and not injured." Qi Younian said, and deliberately moved his hands and feet as he spoke, indicating that what he said was true, so that the Shen family could rest assured.

"If you come back, what's the matter, let's eat at home in a while." Shen is very natural and authentic.

Qi Younian did not shirk.

He did not buy a mansion in Ren'an, he usually lived in the yamen of the guardhouse, although he also had a few personal soldiers to serve, but he ate a big pot of rice in the barracks.

"Sister Xiaotang, do you want to go with me, do you want to go with me, it's fun. Sister Xiaotang is not bored at home every day? Shen talked to Qi Younian, and on the other side, Mu Wanjie pulled Ji Xiaotang's arm, instigating and begging.

"Where are you going?" Shen turned back and asked.

"Go to Estimation Lane, it's the most fun place in town. Sister Xiaotang has been here these days, but she hasn't been there yet. Mu Wanjie immediately said, "I'm familiar there, I'll take Sister Xiaotang there." ”

"You are a little child, and you have to be brought by others, what do you say to take your sister there!" Shen Shi said angrily, but at the same time, he remembered that what Mu Wanjie said was not bad.

Ji Xiaotang has been in Fucheng for a few days, and he really hasn't gone out to shop. She just talked to Ji Xiaotang.

The father and son of the Mu family have been on errands recently, and they are very busy when they have to help Ji Xiaotang find someone. As for Master Ji San, he studied behind closed doors in his courtyard every day.

Master Ji San said to the outside world that he refused to accept a visitor, so naturally he couldn't take Ji Xiaotang out to play.

As for the reason why Master Ji San refused to accept a visitor, it was not all for the sake of studying. Ji Xiaotang bet on the question, Master Ji San only needs to memorize the answer prepared by Ji Xiaotang by heart, and then practice the words well. Visitors are refused, mainly for fear that someone will come to him for a reason, and they will meet friends with him.

It's easy to say anything after passing the township exam, but now Master Ji San can't show his bottom in front of people.

The Mu family didn't know about this matter.

"Wait for your uncles to come back, and let your uncles take you." Shen said.

"When will Daddy and Uncle come back. There is a lion dance mile in Yiyi Lane today, and if you miss it, you won't be able to see it. Mu Wanjie refused, "Just let Uncle Ayou accompany us." ”

Mu Wanjie pointed to Qi Younian.

Qi Younian's smile remained unchanged, but his face was slightly hot, although Mu Wanjie's words were what he taught. R1152
