Qi Yue's voice came from the courtyard.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

Chang Yuncheng listened nervously, but he didn't hear Huang Ziqiao answer, the door curtain sounded, and Qi Yue had already led Huang Ziqiao in.

Huang Ziqiao, who had moved in with a stiff face, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw him.

"You, why are you here?" He asked.

Why can't I be here?

"What are you going to do?" Chang Yuncheng didn't answer and asked rhetorically.

Huang Ziqiao pulled the stool and sat down.

"I'll say goodbye to Mrs. Qi." He said.

Governor Huang is going back to Beijing, because it is just a reprimand, not a conviction, so he does not have to be escorted like Wang Qingchun and others, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Seeing Huang Ziqiao's depressed face, Qi Yue also sighed.

This can be regarded as a family tragedy, a child like him who grew up in the palm of his hand, this matter will be frightening.

Of course, in all fairness, Qi Yue thinks that it is better for people like Huang Zhifu not to be officials forever.

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't it said that the boss still praised you? It should be fine. Qi Yue pondered and comforted.

There is no hope for you in this life, but your future is great.

Huang Ziqiao didn't have the slightest hint of relief and sighed.

"Aru, Aru, bring the wine." Qi Yue shouted happily.

In this case, there is no way to drink without alcohol, Aru has to go and get it.

"Wait, my sister will fry a few dishes to see you off." Qi Yue said again.

Huang Ziqiao thought that the stir-fry she said was naturally fried by the chef, but she didn't expect Qi Yue to go out.

"Do you want to drink some too?" Aru came to pour wine and asked.

Chang Yuncheng hummed.

Huang Ziqiao snorted.

The two of them sat quietly in the room, Chang Yuncheng was unhappy because he was interrupted to be alone, he was not happy, he naturally would not give this person a good face, and Huang Ziqiao naturally would not give this man who bullied Qi Yueniang. If you don't start beating him out, it's already the limit of patience.

So neither of them looked at anyone nor spoke, until one dish after another was delivered.

"Time is too short, I can only make some simple side dishes. You make do with it. I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow to see you off. Qi Yue smiled as she put down the handkerchief that wiped her hands.

Huang Ziqiao looked surprised.

"You. What did you do? He pointed to the dishes on the table.

"Of course, our lady's cooking is delicious, and it's easy not to cook." Ah Hao said hurriedly.

Huang Ziqiao looked at the dishes on the table, and then looked at Qi Yue. Looking at Chang Yuncheng here, he had already begun to stretch out his chopsticks, he hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks and quickly picked up half a bowl, picked up the bowl and pulled it to eat.

"Yes, it's delicious." He said as he ate, not as depressed as Fang Cai, but in high spirits.

"Slow down." Qi Yue said with a smile and simply didn't eat it. Watching from the sidelines, he naturally held a wine glass in his hand, but after repeated gestures, Aru just didn't see it.

Not much. Huang Ziqiao finally put down his chopsticks and drank the wine in front of him with satisfaction.

The table was empty.

"When you go to the capital, I invite you." He said, stood up, threw down a word and pedaled away.

Qi Yue didn't even say a word of goodbye, chased out, Huang Ziqiao had already walked away.

In the room, Chang Yuncheng looked at the empty dishes and put down the chopsticks that he had been holding for a long time.

"I'm here to quit too." He whispered.

But no one could hear it.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qi Yue really went out to see Huang Ziqiao off again, but was told that the prefect's family left before dawn.

Leaving like this, Qi Yue was a little stunned, and it was inexplicable to think of it, and this difference was quite unexpected.

I guess I don't have much chance of seeing each other again in my life.

This kid will never know that he has had his spleen removed....

"Qi Niangzi, I haven't said congratulations yet." Lord Tong Judge laughed on the side.

"Me?" Qi Yue asked puzzled, "Congratulations to me on what?" ”

The judge smiled, and a scribe on the side hurriedly took a paperwork.

"Where there is a punishment, there is a reward." He smiled and shook the document away, "This is the court's reward document for your lady." ”

As the judge said, if there is a punishment, there will be a reward, otherwise how can it seem that there is a difference between merit and demerit.

After punishing those involved in dealing with the disaster situation unfavorably, it is rewarded.

However, what disappointed the officials of Yongqing Mansion was that the emperor did not send a decree to send him, but only issued it with the official documents, on the grounds that Yongqing Mansion was only affected by a catastrophe and could not withstand the toss, but the real reason was that this was a plague, not another disaster, although it was controlled, but still no one dared to risk coming, the decree was a scene, but it was not worth it to exchange his life, so the officials of the Manchu Dynasty vetoed it.

The officials of Yongqing Mansion also wanted to hold a pompous reward ceremony by themselves, but were dissuaded by Qi Yue.

"The condition is not stable yet, it is better not to hold mass gatherings, it is easy to be infected." She said.

Now Qi Niangzi's words are equivalent to a holy decree in Yongqing Mansion, so Lord Tongju immediately dispelled this idea.

"So the court also has a reward for me?" Qi Yue asked in surprise.

"Of course." Master Tong Judge laughed.

Qi Yue took the paperwork, and saw that it was indeed his own name, of course, Qi Yueniang, and then there was a description and praise of the process such as the woman's weakness, but still came out with righteousness and courage, bravely and strategically, and came up with a clever plan to prevent the plague, etc., and finally gave Shude a benevolent plaque, as well as how much gold and silver cloth was.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, the plaque given by the imperial court was hung on the Qianjin Hall, and a group of disciples were excited and red, looking at the handwritten plaque of the general judge who had been hung in the most conspicuous position, of course, it has now been moved to the back, thinking that it was the pinnacle of this life, but I didn't expect to get the plaque of the imperial court in the blink of an eye, this is the plaque from the capital, which was drawn up by the emperor and his old man himself, this is really the same as a dream, no, I can't dream of it.

The entire Yongqing Mansion was as lively as the New Year, and the sad and withering atmosphere under the plague was swept away a lot, although Qi Yue repeatedly asked to avoid crowd gathering, but there were still many people who rushed over to witness the hanging of the plaque in the Qianjin Hall.

This time, Dingxi Hou did not come, one was really shameless about Aunt Zhou's family, and secondly, his family was also receiving orders.

“… I know your family is sad. But my family affairs are also sad, and I was slapped in the face by Dongnu, so you should also come and receive a whip. Chincis. ”

The scribe under the Governor's command sweated on his forehead when he read the decree. It was the most unholy decree he had ever seen.

Dingxi Hou took the whole family to kowtow and thank him.

"Lord Shizi, I'm sorry." The little scribe said again.

Behind him came two battalions of soldiers. With a whip in his hand.

Chang Yuncheng smiled, undressed neatly, turned around and knelt on the ground, exposing his back.

With the sound of crackling whips. Ding Xihou turned his head and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

I thought that if Qi Yueniang was still the daughter-in-law of his Dingxi Hou family, where could there be this whip?

When these damn officials of Yongqing Mansion reported it, in addition to exempting themselves from responsibility and taking credit, didn't they know to mention the relationship between Qi Yueniang and them a little?

If it is mentioned, Chang Yuncheng will delay his return, and it will not be just because of the Xie family's family affairs.

Although she is an ex-wife, she is also a wife, and her wife has worked hard for disaster prevention. Naturally, they can't sit idly by, so it can be said that they are working hard for the people, but now it is Qi Yueniang who is working hard for the people's disaster prevention, and it has nothing to do with their Dingxi Hou Mansion. No matter how hard they worked in the Dingxi Hou Mansion, they only did their duty.

Here Dingxi is waiting to wipe away tears, but Chang Yuncheng, who was whipped there, is smiling, and the sound of firecrackers on the street has been continuous since the morning, you can imagine how lively and happy the woman will be.

This woman doesn't ask for food, clothing, gold and silver, what she asks for is respect, so this time, she has received great respect, and she must be very happy.

After being whipped but not delaying the trip, after a day of crawling in bed, Chang Yuncheng was going to go on the road.

Unlike in the past, Dingxi Hou personally sent it out, and he didn't go back until he was sent to the city gate.

Chang Yuncheng looked at Ding Xihou, in a few days, it seemed that he had aged a lot all of a sudden, and Aunt Zhou's matter hit him too hard.

"Father, remember to go and get my mother back." He said.

Ding Xihou seemed to wave his hand impatiently.

"Don't worry about that." He said, looking at Chang Yuncheng, who was slightly bent because of the injury, he felt sad for the first time, "You are outside, you have to take care of yourself, don't make trouble, our family is not better than others, the momentum is weak, and we left the capital early, no longer under the emperor's eyes, the people are thin, and there are not so many relatives to help each other." ”

This kind of expression has always been done by the Xie family, Chang Yun has grown up so old and seen his father like this for the first time, and he is very unaccustomed to it for a while.

"Yes, I know, father rest assured." He nodded.

Ding Xihou watched him get into the car.

"Follow, have you said goodbye to Yueniang?" He couldn't help but ask.

Chang Yuncheng lowered his head, mumbled, and didn't wait for Xi Hou to ask anything, and hurriedly urged the horse to go.

The carriage hurried for a while, Chang Yuncheng shouted again, and got out of the car to take over the guard's horse.

"Wait for me for a moment." He said, and galloped back.

He still wants to see her again, he still wants to say goodbye to her in person, he still wants to, he wants to think very much, he wants to think very much.

Qi Yue was not in the Qianjin Hall.

"Master is still making medicine in Zhuangzi." A disciple pointed out, "Lord Shizi, or I'll invite her. . . ”

Before he could finish his words, he saw that the man in front of him had already ridden away.

"In such a hurry, could it be that something happened again?" The disciple muttered.

Chang Yuncheng turned around and came to the Wang family's Zhuangzi, and sure enough, he saw the disciples coming and going.

"Master?" A disciple who was pulled and asked thought for a moment, "It seems like going for a walk by the lake." ”

Chang Yuncheng took a deep breath and walked towards the lake, his heart beating more and more violently as he got closer, so much so that he had to slow down to avoid suffocation.

The lake is very big, Chang Yuncheng didn't know where to look for it for a while, stood on the side of the road and looked around, and before he saw anyone, he heard the familiar female voice.

“… Did you come here on purpose? ”

Chang Yuncheng held his breath for a moment, and his hand hanging by his side clenched.

"Yes."

Chang Yuncheng opened his mouth, but found that this answer was not said by himself, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he saw the two of them sitting by the lake not far away.

Sitting on the ground in a light green robe, it was Wang Qian who was holding a fishing rod, and there was a mountain stone sitting next to Wang Qian, and it was Qi Yue who was watching him fishing.

Chang Yuncheng stiffened, came back to his senses and flashed behind the tree a few steps.

He didn't know why he was hiding, but he didn't seem to want to be seen by these two people, or rather, he didn't want to see the two people who got along like this.

The tree blocked his view, but it couldn't stop the sound of talking.

“。。 Fishing here? Qi Yue asked, smiling rather than smiling.

Wang Qian turned his head to look at her.

"Of course not." He said, "It's to see you, lady." ”

Chang Yuncheng grabbed a piece of bark with his hand.
