50. Turbulence
Because he was lifted, Shi Qi returned directly to Shifu, and unlike before, before he arrived home, he already had official documents to his house in advance. The fourth lady did not arrange it, but Shi Songshan paid extra attention, he arranged a major celebration ceremony for Shi Qi, and seemed to have forgotten his previous cold treatment of the fourth lady's mother and son. Shi Qi repaid Shi Songshan's kindness with contempt and no thanks, and Shi Songshan still invited Shi Qi to the main seat at the dinner, and with the respect of the head of the family and his brother, he let Shi Qi say two sentences to show his care for Shi Qi's like a brother.
Shi Qi looked at the dinner party held for himself, and for the first time he drank a lot of wine, it was really a happy event, he was a little emotional, but when he arrived at home, he looked at those who complimented him, and forgot the unhappiness of not doing well in the exam. In addition, others only know that he is promoted, no one knows that his score is low, how can there be a vacancy, one depends on the connections, the other depends on luck, his score is not high, age, there is no one who can find a good person, it is estimated that it will take a while to take a good position, not to mention that he has to take the test again.
A little drunk in the evening Jin Qi returned to the courtyard, the fourth lady was washing her face with tears, Shi Qi woke up for most of the time, he ran to him and asked, "Mother, why are you bitter?" The fourth lady saw Shi Qi coming back, with the smell of wine, she: "Mother is high-hearted, I have finally completed the task given to me by your father, I am talking to your father, telling him that he can rest assured, he has not achieved fame in his life His son helped him get the test, come on, burn a piece of paper for your father, and tell him." Shi Qi knelt down, burned paper and kowtowed to Yu Longming's tablet.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Shi Mansion arrived, and he: "The master said, Shi Gongzi is now a lifter, and he can no longer be crowded with his wife, the master has opened another place for Shi Gongzi, and now he has cleaned up, and please raise the son to go over to Fang An." Shi Qi looked at the fourth lady, and then at Shi Caishuang: "Let's go over and have a look, after a few years, I will go to Qingshi Town, and I will live mainly over there in the future, and when I really take office, I don't want to stay in this place for too long." The fourth lady looked at him and nodded: "Yes, after taking office, my mother will go with you, I don't want to stay here, and I will pick up your aunt when the time comes." ”
The courtyard is much more lively than usual, the Shi family has not had such a big happy event for a long time, Shi Songshan doesn't want the Shi family to decline in his own hands, he needs to have a support now, of course there is an official, especially Shi Qi, it is possible to be a big official. Because in the past, Teacher Su was outdated, and Shi Songshan participated in the scientific examination, he knew that thousands of troops had crossed the single-plank bridge, how could there be such a good thing waiting for his family. He couldn't pass the exam himself, and he once hoped that Shi Qi couldn't pass the exam either, so he fired his teacher, but now it's different, a few years later, he knows that there is no one above, he, the rich man, is stormy, maybe a lawsuit comes down, or a task can't be completed, his family is empty, and it has become a bowl of Chinese food.
The fourth husband couldn't think of this, she thought that Shi Songshan's current change of attitude was all because of her own dedication, when she burned the paper just now, she was still begging for Yu Longming's forgiveness, she had no choice but to succumb to Shi Songshan's kindness. After arriving at the courtyard, the fourth lady found that the courtyard was a former study renovated, and the old man was walking at home, so he had a place to live, and the housekeeper gave him two housekeepers and two girls. It's not Shi Caishuang who knew each other before, but he only received it in the past two years.
After the fourth lady looked at the house, she looked at the two girls, and in the night, she suddenly found that her son was older, and lowered her voice to him: "You are not officially married, don't have sex with the girl, and wait for the lady, more, if you accept the girl who has the room, the future name is not good, after all, she is the first door to you, you are now a lifter, pay attention to your identity." ”
Shi Qi asked, "What is a girl who has a room?" "Fourth lady:" generally refers to the girl who comes with the marrying lady, and the male owner is accepted into the room by the way, and the lady is in front, even if she is pregnant with a child, she is still a girl. But you don't have a wife now, if you accept the girl first, you may have to give her the title of a concubine, and spreading it will damage your reputation. "Shi Qi doesn't seem to understand, he really understands, to the girl, to be the master's concubine, that is, when she arrives, no wonder Jiang Qingyan and they don't dislike Yang Su's old age, they are also, age is not important, name is important, and if they can accept it, it will change the fate of their lives.
In the evening, because of the reminder of the four husbands, although the two girls had a kang head with Shi Qi, Shi Qi, who had a lot of wine, did not show the initiative in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was amused by the two girls, just pretending not to understand the night. Because he didn't take the initiative himself, and he was a lifter, of course the girls didn't dare to take the initiative too much, so he fell asleep familiarly, and in the dream, he thought of Jiang Xianglian, the woman who had entered the cave room with him, he skipped once, and decided to leave Shifu in the morning.
Shi Songshan prepared a heavy gift for Shi Qi, and asked him to go to meet Lord Futai, so that he could find a fat shortage for Shi Qi earlier. Shi Qi didn't listen to his arrangement, he knew that he could go to Yang Su, he had heard of him, his son had no fame, and Xiangye also gave him a deputy envoy, he didn't know that person was Yang Weihu, the soldier who captured Niu Lixin some time ago.
Shi Songshan couldn't persuade him, he went to communicate with the two girls in the courtyard again, and wanted to use a woman to keep Shi Qi, but he didn't expect that Shi Qi, who was just a teenager, actually let go of the woman he carefully selected and didn't do anything, let alone be tempted. Shi Songshan didn't know what Shi Qi liked, he looked at the two girls again, they were really better looking than Shi Caishuang, he was the master, the master and the servant were different, he couldn't mess with people, but he forgot that he forgot about the four husbands selectively.
After Shi Qi arrived in Qingshi Town, Yun Chi hadn't gone back yet, he didn't show his current identity as a lifter, he just continued to be his second shop, Dao Zhen asked, "What?" Didn't do well in the exam? Shi Qi nodded, and told Dao Zhen privately that he was now a lifter, but he didn't receive a notice to take office, asking him to go to see Futai, he didn't go, and he was going to enter Beijing after the entrance examination, Dao Zhen thought for a while: "You are now a lifter, the country has an annual silver tael for you, and it is inappropriate to do two here, you should interact with the local officialdom, otherwise they will forget you in the future." ”
Shi Qi didn't listen to Daozhen's advice, but just continued to work after agreeing, Yun Chi called Shi Qi aside and asked, "What's going on with Jiang Qingyan?" Does the child really have anything to do with you? Shi Qi looked at Yun Chi's serious face, and thought for a while: "Yes, it's mine, I was in the Xiangfu at the time, and she was arranged by the Xiangfu to give our family Yang Darao, but Lord Yang didn't want it, they rested on my kang outside, I got up with her in the morning, and then she had a child, of course it should be mine." ”
Yun Chi didn't want to complicate the situation, he already felt from the calm conversation between Shi Qi and Dao Zhen that Shi Qi's current situation was that he was a person from the past, and he couldn't let his granddaughter become a mother and son without an owner. He: "Lord Yang and I have had a work relationship, from the handling of my daughter's affairs, I can see that he has some nostalgia for me, if necessary, I can help you write a letter of recommendation, which is conducive to you to have a stable and good future as soon as possible." ”
Shi Qi: "Thank you, abbot, I don't need it, I can take the exam again in three years, and then I will come out with better results to be an official, which is much better than going to office now." Last time in the temple, Master Daozhen asked me to go out with Lord Yang, and I also participated in the handling of your daughter's incident, Lord Yang is a decent person in my opinion, if you ask him to do this kind of thing, it may make him turn against him" Yun Chi also makes sense when he thinks about it, he is now the abbot of a temple, Shi Qi still shouted out, reminding him that after so many years of cultivation, he can't fall into the love of children again.
Yun Chi knew that Lord Yang, who had been a hidden official for many years, accompanied the emperor out again, and his pride when he was young also occasionally appeared, but the robe on his body and the wife in his heart made him unbearable to enter the red dust again. He told his children to take care of themselves, and went back to the temple with a handful of tears in his wine. With his eyes turning back a few steps at a time, he can't be regarded as a Taoist monk.
Shi Qi communicated with Jiang Qingle about his studies that night, he is not a child now, but Jiang Wenzhi has always thought that his son is smart. After Shi Qi's conversation, Jiang Qingle found that his cognitive level and learning depth were far from Shi Qi, and after further understanding, he learned that Jiang Qingle had never had a formal teacher, but only participated in the learning of literacy with children in the township. Jiang Wenzhi asked Shi Qidao: "He is still now, if you teach him to be able to lift it at your age?" Shi Qi: "I can only learn, I can't teach, you have to find a good teacher for him, besides, I am not much older than him, I teach him not well, he may not be able to listen from his heart, I also have my own business, I can't teach." ”
Jiang Nanshan decided to use the silver left by Yun Chi, plus the income from the sale of land when Jiang Wenzhi came, not to return Yang Su for the time being, buy a piece of land, and build a few more rooms. Because Shi Qi didn't want to publicize his identity as a lifter, and Yun Chi became a prefect when he was young, what happened later was embarrassing, Shi Qi became a lot earlier, not only his concentration is amazing, but his stability is not like that of ordinary people. Jiang Nanshan looked at Shi Qi who was running the hall, and then looked at Jiang Qingle behind the counter, he is now cashier for his sister, Jiang Nanshan said to Shi Qi: "No matter what, you are also a person now, it is not appropriate to go on like this, I think, it is more appropriate for you to go back to the alternate, you are here to make us anxious, you don't forget Jiang Qingyan's matter, no matter how far you go in the future, she is not pitiful to have you now." ”
Shi Qi also thought it made sense, but he didn't go home, he found Yang Su who was outside, it was not easy to get to the emperor, the last time he and Yang Su came out, at that time, Lord Yang said a word, and people could follow behind him. This time, he reported to the accompanying guards that he was Yang Darao, and the guards didn't pay attention to him at all, so it was easy to get the report, and Yang Su came out to see Shi Qihou: "Why did you find here?" This is the emperor's entourage, not casually in and out, including me. If you want to come in, I have to ask the leader of the Imperial Forest Army and the steward of the Internal Affairs Office for instructions before I can come in for a clear purpose, but there is no reason now, so I'd better wait until I go back, right? ”
Shi Qi wanted to tell him about the things he was waiting for assignment now, but thinking that he couldn't get out of his body now, he really wrote him a letter of recommendation, and Shi Qi didn't necessarily like it. At that time, Qi left the team that he was easy to find, thought about it for a while, or returned to Shi's house, and now Shi Songshan treats him well. The fourth lady saw that he was not too high-chested and came back, and asked, "Did you go out to meet those big officials?" You are still now, you will become an official in a few years, grow up at home again, read more thoroughly, take your younger brother with you, and it will not be easy to go out and meet again in the future. By the way, I let you live in your yard, there are places on both sides, you can live wherever you want. ”
Of course, Shi Qi wanted to live with his mother, and he happened to teach Changfeng to endorse, and he also wanted to teach Changfeng to learn his martial arts. In the evening, Shi Caishuang came over for dinner, and she said: "Shi Qi, since your Uncle Niu left home, there has been no news, and you are now famous, if your friends are convenient in the future, they will definitely help me bring some news about your Uncle Niu back." With her tears coming down again, the fourth lady told Shi Qi that now Daddy Niu is listening to Master Shi in the temple as a companion, playing chess and chanting scriptures, it is normal, but Niu Lixin makes people anxious, the family letter has come, it is on the border of Sichuan, and he is doing well, and Caishuang suspects that it is a lie.
Niu Yuemei grew up in the mountains, she watched Shi Qi go up the mountain and to her house, and saw that Shi Qi was still enthusiastic, pestering him to tell stories. The fourth lady saw that the child was pitiful, so she asked Shi Qi to accompany Shi Caishuang back to his own yard. Shi Songshan knew that after Shi Qi came back, he still arranged for his subordinates to wait, they watched Shi Qi tell Niu Yuemei a story until late, Shi Qi saw Dong Chuchu's two girls, worried that his self-control would get out of control, so he sent them back to their previous residence in advance to rest.
Shi Qi snuggled Niu Yuemei, coaxed her to fall asleep slowly, and looked at Shi Qi's age to be sensible, Shi Caishuang looked at his son Niu Chaoyang again, and great hope welled up in his heart. She: "Shi Qi, you must teach Changfeng and Chaoyang well at home, more than ten years later, if they can have you like now, they will also be your helpers, and you still need brothers to go into battle, and you will not be isolated in the future." Shi Qi smiled and told Caishuang that he couldn't go to class, although he had a stomach full of knowledge, but he had learned Teacher Su's lecture methods, but he didn't learn it. Shi Caishuang asked, "Isn't it just that you will come out?" Shi Qi: "If it can be so simple, everyone can be a teacher, it's not like this, I've tried, knowledge must not only be memorized, but also be able to integrate and penetrate, I won't understand this, so I can't be a good teacher." ”
