Qi Chengchen smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Yang Jianbai's shoulder: "I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law, and some ladies are starting to forget their brothers at this time." ”

Yang Jianbai glanced at him angrily: "Your sister-in-law still has a body, and I don't know who it is, when my wife was pregnant, she said in the middle of the night that she wanted to eat the sauerkraut fish of Zhiweilou, and someone went to smash the door of the chef's house that night, and the chef who was harmed almost became a bandit in the house, and almost went to report the case." ”

This matter was said by Mrs. Qi herself, and the credibility is very high. Qi Chengchen's face was slightly red and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, the two of us are brothers, that is the same love for our own lady, don't talk about this." I'm just here to see, you went to suppress the bandits this time, did you get hurt when you came back, if you didn't know that you and the couple were going to make love, my mother would have let me come over early in the morning. ”

Yang Jianbai and Qi Chengchen sat down together, stretched out their hands and poured tea for him: "Thank you, this time the bandits were very smooth, that group of people came from Guangdong, and they didn't plan to go to the capital, but then they heard that there were many rich people here, and they wanted to leave if they wanted to do it, but they didn't expect that someone was sick halfway, so they delayed for a few days." ”

"All of them were caught?" Qi Chengchen asked with a smile, Yang Jianbai nodded: "Well, most of them were killed on the spot, leaving only a few to bring back for interrogation." Didn't you say you were going to be on an errand before? How, is it intended for the imperial examination or recommended? ”

There are three ways to become an official, one is to take the road of the imperial examination, one is to protect the family, and the other is to be recommended. Yang Jianbai entered the military camp that year, and he was recommended by Lord Qi. Qi Chengchen has shelter at home, and it is very easy to find an official and a half-job at that time.

"I'm going to take the imperial examination." Qi Chengchen said very simply, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "You also know that our kind of background, if it is Meng Yin, it will inevitably be gossiped or something, my mother and the queen mother have a deep relationship, every step of our family must be cautious, if I go through the imperial examination, I can also block the mouths of some people, if it is directly Meng Yin, I will be drowned by the spitting stars when I turn back." ”

"When have you ever cared about other people's eyes?" Yang Jianbai sneered, and Qi Chengchen pouted: "If I'm alone, I naturally don't care." But you are also a father soon, do you want your children to think that you are incapable and will only enjoy the merits left by your ancestors? ”

Yang Jianbai raised his eyebrows slightly, and Qi Chengchen reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "I originally thought that the old man of our family is still alive and well, and at present, it seems that he can live for at least fifty or sixty years, so I am not willing to step into the officialdom early." But now, I want to help our old man, and I want to show myself in front of my son, so that the little boy knows that his father doesn't just know how to eat and dress. ”

"If only you had this in mind." Yang Jianbai said with a smile, Qi Chengchen touched his chin: "We've been brothers for decades, it doesn't make sense that you're about to become a first-class member, I'm still standing in place, aren't I?" Our brothers grew up together, so naturally we should also stand together in the court. You wait, one day, our brothers can join forces and kill whoever they want. ”

Yang Jianbai snorted and laughed: "Kill whoever you want?" Are you still planning to ...... Ahem, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Qi Chengchen nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, will I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" I'll just say a few words right in front of you. Speaking of which, my sister-in-law is quite capable, but it is only a few months of hard work, and your house is like an iron bucket. ”

Yang Jianbai was a little proud: "That's natural, your sister-in-law is smart and capable." ”

Qi Chengchen couldn't see Yang Jianbai smiling like a fool, so he stretched out his hand and slapped him twice: "Come on, I sometimes think that my sister-in-law must have been blinded by the wind, otherwise, why would she fall in love with you?" It's okay to ask for anything, my mother said at the beginning, you can marry your sister-in-law, it's really shit luck. ”

Even if Shu Manyao doesn't have a mother, she grew up in front of her grandmother, and her father is highly valued by the emperor. And what did Yang Jianbai have at that time? But whoever loves his own girl, who is willing to suffer her?

Yang Jianbai ignored him, Qi Chengchen was cheerful and a little too lively, that is, Yang Jianbai didn't talk, and he himself was very happy: "Speaking of which, after a while, Baozhen will get married, Baozhu's marriage has not been decided, I don't want Baozhu to marry to other places at all, so it is rare to go back to his parents' home once in his life, it is too bitter." ”

"Haven't you seen Baozhen's father-in-law? Let's go to drink together in two days, he will also participate in the imperial examination this time, but it is to participate in the martial arts. Otherwise, when the imperial examination is over next year, I will pick a better husband for Baozhu? ”

Yang Jianbai coughed lightly: "You still don't want to, just what you picked, my aunt will definitely not be satisfied." ”

"You're saying I can't see enough?" Qi Chengchen's eyes widened angrily, and Yang Jianbai was puzzled: "When did you ever have vision?" ”

Qi Chengchen immediately rushed over and beat Yang Jianbai: "You guy, it's too much!" If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has! Come on, let you see how good I am! ”

Yang Jianbai strained under his feet, slid back with the chair, and dodged Qi Chengchen's fist, Qi Chengchen practiced martial arts with Yang Jianbai since he was a child, and immediately squatted on the □, one leg supported the ground, and one leg swept towards Yang Jianbai, Yang Jianbai leaned back, reversed the chair on his back, and after putting down the chair, he sat back again.

The two brothers began to move around the chair, and when Shu Manyao came in with the maid with a plate, the two of them were playing lively, but the two of them were also very measured, the things on the table could not be moved, and the only thing that could be moved was the chair that Yang Jianbai was sitting on.

"What is this doing?" Shu Manyao was a little surprised, asked with a smile, and motioned for the maid to come in and put the plates on the table. Qi Chengchen took a deep breath: "Oh, it's so fragrant, I smell it as soon as I smell it, this is definitely my sister-in-law's craft, my eldest brother is really blessed, this delicious food, I'm about to drool." ”

Yang Jianbai got up and helped Shu Manyao: "I had a fight just now, are you tired?" Achen is not an outsider, we have been back for a long time, you went to the kitchen to work again, are you hungry? Would you like to eat some together? ”

Before Yang Jianbai went to suppress the bandits, Shu Manyao's food volume had already begun to grow, so he also knew that Shu Manyao had eaten five or six meals during this time. At this time, it is just in time for supper.

Shu Manyao shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I just ate a few bites of dim sum in the kitchen, and all the salty meals I ate in Zhiweilou before were salty, I don't want to eat at this time, you and Achen eat first, I'll go back to rest, tired after a day, a little sleepy." ”

Yang Jianbai nodded hurriedly and instructed Xia Xi: "I helped my wife, and after a while, I ordered the people on the stove to prepare some sweet soup or something, just stew it on the stove." ”

Xia Xi hurriedly responded, Shu Manyao didn't stay long, and after instructing Yang Jianbai to drink less, he took Xia Xi back. Qi Chengchen took the wine jug and poured himself wine, raised his eyebrows and asked Yang Jianbai: "You really don't want to drink?" ”

Yang Jianbai nodded: "If you don't drink, if you smell alcohol, your sister-in-law will not sleep well, and besides, it will not be good for the child." ”

Qi Chengchen blinked: "Alcohol is not good for children?" If I'm not mistaken, your kid won't move, right? ”

"Prenatal education." Yang Jianbai coughed lightly, put down two words briefly and neatly, and served Qi Chengchen with food: "However, you can rest assured that you can drink it, it's too late today, I asked people to prepare a guest room, don't rush back after you drink, and rest here at night." ”

"I didn't plan to go back." Qi Chengchen pouted and said, Yang Jianbai didn't want to drink, so he drank it himself. The brothers haven't seen each other for half a month, and they have a lot to say, although Qi Chengchen hasn't embarked on a career yet, he also knows a lot of news in the capital.

Shu Manyao went back to the room, let Xia Xi and Dong Du take a bath, because they slept with Yang Jianbai for most of the day in the afternoon, they were not very sleepy at this time, so they talked to Xia Xi and them without a match.

Winter Twilight's family affairs have already been decided, and Shu Manyao generously gave Winter Twilight a holiday: "Seeing that there is less than half a month left, you have to go back to make a wedding dress or something, I don't need you to serve here, there are Jingchun and them." You just have to go back and get married. ”

Winter Twilight was a little reluctant, Shu Manyao smiled and comforted her: "What's sad, it's not that you won't come back, after a while, you will still enter the house, Mother Chen is in charge of the affairs in my room, and the child in my belly still has a mother in charge, if you want, take care of it first, or ...... it"

Before she finished speaking, Dong Du hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I am willing to serve the little master, but Madame, don't dislike me for being stupid." ”

"Where are you stupid?" Shu Manyao said with a smile, and looked at Xia Xi again: "Steward Yang's nephew came to propose marriage a few days ago, what do you think?" ”

Xia Xi's face turned red, and Winter Twilight finally seized the opportunity to make fun of Xia Xi. Xia Xi said while wiping Shu Manyao's hair: "Dong Du and I, there must always be someone who stays with Madame first, at least when the little master is born." Madame, let's deal with the affairs of winter twilight first, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Winter Twilight also nodded: "I also want to wait until Madame gives birth to a child, Madame, otherwise, I and Ping An will change the day of marriage?" ”

"This is not good, you are not in a hurry to be safe, but you are going to die in a hurry." Shu Manyao said with a smile: "Their family is now left with a safe and peaceful father, there is no female master in the family, life is really sad, peace is also loyal, I can't let peace chill." ”

Ping An has been waiting for nearly a year, and she doesn't want to drag it out. Moreover, there is no winter twilight, and there are Mother Chen and Jing Qiu Jingdong by her side.

After talking for a long time, I was a little hungry, so Xia Xi hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve white fungus lotus seed soup and some snacks. Shu Manyao ate and drank enough, and the sleepiness came up, rinsed his mouth so-so, and went to bed in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Yang Jianbai came back, saw that she was sleeping with a ruddy face and a smile on her face, guessed the beautiful things she might dream of, and then lowered her head and kissed the pink lips twice, stretched out her arms to hold the person into her arms, and closed her eyes to sleep in a good mood.
