Chen Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a wry smile: "What did Brother Qi Qiang say, the Chen and Qi families were originally from ordinary backgrounds, and if there are any grievances, they are not wronged." Besides, don't you have a job as a thousand households now, where is Bai Ding again? ”

Qi Qiang snorted, took the tea from Qi Su Niang's hand, and said: "You are a serious person, an official who has been tested by ability, I am an official who has been fished out of the wrong way, not that I look down on myself, but there are too few officials like you, so I have to let people look at it." After that, he handed the silver ticket box in his hand to Qi Su Niang, "Sister, you take it, the actor is not worried about money, and you have to plan for him." ”

Qi Su Niang was not polite at all, took it over, opened it and counted the points, Chen Yan was dumbfounded, Qi Qiang laughed and said: "That is, the two of us, we are really two brothers and sisters, more similar than our relatives." ”

Qi Su Niang finished counting, smiled and pushed Chen Yan, and asked him to thank the brother-in-law who gave the dowry according to the rules of the groom's official. The three of them laughed, and Chen Yan asked, "Brother Qi Qiang, have you been in Jiangning this year?" What the hell is it that you can't get away with? ”

Qi Qiang sighed, "Where is it only in Jiangning, the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have run all over the world, and it is not enough to work hard, and you have to hide it from others." Can't scream-" After a pause, he looked at Qi Su Niang and smiled, stood up and turned out a small cloth bag in the table drawer, handed it to Qi Su Niang, and shook his head at Chen Yan, "It's always the business of those masters, it's boring to say, the heavenly family has no flesh and bones, and it's better to be friendly than people like us." ”

Chen Yan smiled for a while, was speechless for a while, and didn't ask any more, Qi Su Niang opened the cloth bag and saw that there were two boxes of Hangzhou Guan Yu and lotus fragrance powder in it, pursed her lips and smiled at Qi Qiang, went back to the house and put it away, picked up a fresh fruit plate to the study, put it on a few, and sewed Qi Qiang's new clothes in her hand.

Qi Qiang first praised Qi Su Niang's craftsmanship for a while, and she smiled and gagged her mouth with fruit, Fang honestly listened to Chen Yan talk about some things about Gaoyou's hometown, and said with a smile: "I wondered when I got up early and entered the door, why don't you have a person from our old family in your yard, you don't need to learn to bully others, and a phoenix finally flew out of the poor nest, and they didn't sharpen their heads to send people here?" It turned out that he actually ran a village school? ”

Chen Yan said with a smile: "How can you say that it is so unbearable, in the end, the countryside is hard to farm, and in which year will there be fewer floods?" You have to live a stable life, right? After a pause, "It's just that I don't do those things here, and if I call them, I will have to suffer poverty." ”

Qi Qiang smiled silently, and peeked at Qi Su Niang who turned around and went back to the inner room to get the scissors, and grabbed Chen Yandao: "Acting official, there must be something in the yali in the afternoon, I will follow you to the front to see the majesty of the county lord." ”

Chen Yan was stunned and puzzled: "It's been nothing for the past few days, and you're here for the first day, I deliberately-"

Qi Qiang said with a smile: "You should have something to do, just take me forward." ”

Chen Yanhui came to his senses, smiled bitterly, turned around and glanced at the inner room, and whispered: "Brother Qi Qiang, you have to go back early, otherwise I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Qi Qiang was overjoyed, responded continuously, turned around and took out some silver taels, and took out the jade pendant, purse, fragrant tea cake and gold wrapped noodles and other bits and pieces, and did not dare to go up, sleeves in the sleeves, pushed Chen Cheng's head to talk to Qi Su Niang, and went out of the middle door together

In the afternoon, the sun was just right, Chen Yan and Qi Qiang walked all the way, and saw that in front of the small ear room outside the middle gate, An Sheng was sitting on a chair on stilts, eating fruits and basking in the sun, Qi Qiang laughed and scolded: "Look at your boneless laziness, when you get to my sister-in-law's house, you will be the master." ”

An Sheng jumped up, hurried forward to invite An, and said with a smile: "Uncle has arrived at my aunt's place, where does this little clumsy slave dare to come to you, isn't this for you to see?" He asked Chen Yan again, "The slave's uncle is so annoyed that his uncle will take care of it." ”

Chen Yan and Qi Qiang both laughed, Qi Qiang took out the bits and pieces in his sleeve pocket, An Sheng hurriedly continued, took care of Qi Qiang, Qi Qiang threw two pieces of broken silver to tie him, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard this year, and I have no place to call you this little cub, and tell your aunt and grandmother, if she is approved, you can play wherever you like." ”

An Sheng was overjoyed, his mouth became more and more like honey, and he came up and said: "Thank you for your grace, uncle, the slave has inquired for you, this is a good place on the back street of Qinghe County......" Qi Qiang laughed and scolded: "Lord still wants you to teach?" Get out of the way. Chen Yan, who dragged a wry smile and shook his head again and again, went.

Chen Yan sat in the front hall as an ornament, and Qi Qiang walked out of the front door step by step, and walked up the river towards the gate.

Seeing Qi Qiang's character dressed up, and the Cao Gang made an incision on the road, he didn't dare to slack off, and asked his name again, knowing that it was surnamed Qi, so Huang Er on the bow of the boat called Qian'er to ask for peace, and said, "But the third master of Qi?" When the second head of our family heard that the third master of Qi was coming, he sent me to guard in front of the gate, only saying that if a handsome descendant surnamed Qi came, he would be led directly to the main hall. ”

Qi Qiang laughed, "Li Si, this guy is interesting enough, I am Qi San, bother my brother to lead me in, but the big boss is also there?" ”

That Huang Eryuan was a close confidant of Li Siqin for several years, and he had also fled to the Jiangning Guandi Temple during the flood, and he smiled while leading the way: "The big boss is here, and the second boss is talking in the hall." While speaking, he passed through the three gates, arrived at the foot of the main hall, bent down and bowed his hand, and said loudly: "Third Master Qi has arrived!" ”
