Qi Su Niang lifted a crack in the curtain on the sedan chair, stared at the dock, and when she arrived, she saw a Jiang Xi flat-bottomed five-cabin passenger ship arriving at the shore, and as soon as the head hatch opened, she saw a handsome man wearing a green four-ball eight-flower sprinkled single gown, oil green silk single pants, a moon white coat, and a foot cover of Fu characters, carrying a dark blue cloth burden and walking out. Qi Su Niang was overjoyed when she saw it, and was about to call him, the man's eyes swept away, and he immediately saw the green nickname under the shade of the willows carrying the official sedan chair and An Sheng on the side of the sedan chair, cracked his mouth and smiled, and shouted: "Sister! "Strode over.

An Sheng stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, Qi Suniang bent down and walked out, and said happily: "Brother! ”

Qi Qiang had already walked up, looked Qi Su Niang up and down, and said with a smile: "I love to wear this magpie robe, and now I am married to comb my hair in a bun, and I wrap this floral scarf, which is a fisherwoman's bun, fortunately, it is not stylish, and it can be regarded as passable, otherwise I am really a poor fish woman, where is it like a six-grade fate?" ”

An Sheng covered his mouth and snickered, stepped forward to take the burden from Qi Qiang's hand, Qi Su Niang said angrily: "Who said not to teach people on the dock?" I'm not like a six-pin fate, what is it that you, who is a brother, mistakenly married to a sister?"

Qi Qiang immediately softened his waist, and said with a smile: "Sister, my good sister, this magpie robe is elegant and fancy, it is not an ordinary person who can wear a taste, and only meet a beauty like our sister, who is knowledgeable and considerate, and this magpie robe can be regarded as meeting the master of the Ming Dynasty and seeing the blue sky......

Qi Su Niang couldn't laugh and said: "My brother is used to going around in the women's pile, and now you are embarrassed to use these tricks to coax your sister!" After that, he pointed to the horse led by An Sheng and said, "Get on the horse, let's go home, let you rest first, and then judge you." ”

Qi Qiang responded with a smile, and when he saw Qi Su Niang getting on the sedan chair, he turned over and got on the horse, and looked at An Sheng's new clothes in a blink of an eye, and scolded with a smile: "The master hasn't made new clothes yet, you kid will put them on first, and you will enjoy more happiness than the master." ”

An Sheng hurriedly said: "How dare the little one enjoy the blessings in front of the master, this is made by my aunt and grandmother for the small one, a pair of clothes, pants, shoes and socks, made of two, this is still made by the tailor outside, my aunt is too rough, and the uncle didn't see the ones that my aunt made for you by herself, so it can be fine." ”

Qi Qiang was happy in his heart, and urged the horse to the sedan chair, laughing with Qi Su Niang while walking towards the grass hall.

The grass hall has been dispersed for a long time, Yun Dianshi went to the altar to discuss with Lian Zhenyun, and while he was talking, Li Siqin walked in a fuss and shouted: "Big brother, you say it's not strange, I just went to the dock, and I happened to see Qi Da Worm's mother-in-law and a handsome queen talking and laughing, and went back to the grass hall together." After a pause, "That's fine, the strangest thing, I look at that handsome posterity, how can I look more and more like Qi San?" ”

Yun Dianshi had long been accustomed to Li Siqin's title to Mrs. Xiantai, and it was no longer the same thing, so when he heard this, he said strangely: "Qi San? Could it be her family? No, she only has one brother, and now she is the second steward in the Ninth Elder Brother's Mansion, so she should be proud of the capital, why did she run to Qinghe? ”

Lian Zhenyun heard the words "Brother Jiu", frowned, and asked, "Old Yun, what is her brother's name?" ”

Yun Dianshi shook his head and said: "I don't know very well, at that time, the emperor ordered them to get married, and her brother couldn't rush over to meet the ceremony, but I heard Lord Chen mention that the two of them are not brothers and sisters, and Mrs. is adopted by her father." ”

Li Siqin shouted: "Isn't that kid Qi San a Gaoyou person? I remember he said that he is a lone seedling, could it be that he is really Qi Daworm's brother? ”

Lian Zhenyun said slowly: "Don't worry, since Qi San said that he was coming to look for us to play, he would naturally come." ”

Qi Qiang, who was recognized by Li Siqin as Qi San, followed his sister to the back door of the grass hall, looked around, and said, "I said sister, you live here?" Why is that kid so slammed the door that he was reluctant to let you live in the county government's house? As he spoke, his eyes widened and he rolled up his sleeves, "Don't be afraid, my brother is here, if he treats you badly, my brother will be your master!" ”

Qi Su Niang didn't bother to pay attention to him, but An Sheng smiled and said: "Uncle, my aunt and grandmother have already cleaned up the house for you, and the slave has seen it, it is all Tu Xin'er's high-grade furniture." ”

Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said, "Sister, I still have a few friends here, or I'll go-" Seeing Qi Su Niang's glaring eyes, he immediately swallowed his words back to the cloud, and said with a smile: "I naturally accompany my sister more." But he secretly complained in his heart, knowing that he didn't want to spend time drinking in Qinghe County in the past two months.

Qi Su Niang opened the door, but Chen Yan was not there, she sent the sedan chair away from the people, pulled Qi Qiang to the front of the study, and said with a smile: "Brother, look at it, what else do you want, I'll buy it again." ”

Qi Qiang glanced at it, his heart warmed, he collected most of his restless thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's already excellent, there is nothing to ask for anymore." ”

Qi Su Niang pursed her lips and smiled, sent An Sheng back to the middle gate, and let Qi Qiang drink tea and rest in the hall first. She stabbed the fire in the stove to boil the bath water, and on the other hand, she untied Qi Qiang's burden and placed the clothes in the drawers of the wooden box one by one.

Qi Su Niang saw that in Qi Qiang's luggage, there were only one or two clothes in each season, and knew that he was trying to save trouble on the road, so she hurriedly took the newly made lake-colored kudzu gauze gown, close-fitting middle coat, silk pants, white silk socks, and thick silk shoes, and found a body, stuffed it to Qi Qiang, and asked him to take a bath and change clothes.

Staying refreshed, sitting on the circle chair in front of the table of the four immortals, leisurely eating sesame soybeans and salt leaves to make tea, watching the little hens flying around in the yard, smelling the fragrance of steamed pickle buns from the stove, and somehow, a wave of tiredness swelled up, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep on the circle chair.

At noon, Chen Yan frowned and returned to the ya, and when he saw Qi Qiang drooling from sleep, he smiled dumbly, knowing that he was tired, so he didn't quarrel with him.

Qi Su Niang put four bowls and four plates of food on the table of the eight immortals in the hall, a pot of pickles, a pot of Jinhua wine, and three bowls and chopsticks. He put a bowl of each dish and three big buns into a food box, and sent it to the outer ear room of the middle gate, and Chen Yan went into the room to wake up Qi Qiang.

Qi Su Niang walked back to the hall from the middle gate, and was listening to Qi Qiang asking: "Acting official, is there anything difficult in the ya, why are you unhappy?" ”

Chen Yan sighed lowly, "It's not a difficult matter, today the Yangfu Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy sent someone to the salt field to check the accounts, there is a century-old Wang family in the county, because the second son in the long house is the governor of the Qinghe salt field, I'm afraid it won't be able to last." ”

Qi Su Niang was startled and walked in, "Brother Chen, something happened to the Xu family?" ”

Chen Yan nodded, "It's not true, it's just that I don't see the wind right, in the past, when they checked the accounts, they were all ventilated in advance, and they were strung up and down, but this time they came down without a call." After that, he smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, it's not something I can manage, Su Niang, come and sit down." ”

Qi Su Niang remembered that the Xu family was a century-old family in Qinghe, and she had a good foundation, and she didn't know how much she had gone through, so she didn't need to worry about it, so she also let go, and talked and laughed with Chen Yan and Qi Qiang. Chen Yan sat in Qi Qiang's house, after Qi Su Niang cleaned up the hall, she took three Mei Gui poured braised melon kernels to make tea and walked in, Qi Qiang took a leather box in his hand and said: "Acting official, these 20,000 taels are the dowry of our Qi family to my sister-in-law, although our family is white, my sister-in-law has not wronged you." ”
