Mo Ju was looking at the candy seller in the stall next to Duobaomen with his eyes wide open, blowing a fairy with a ribbon fluttering, and naturally he didn't notice the strangeness of the clouds. Even Lieyun muttered something out of his mouth as if he was calling someone's name.

And just as Lieyun was stunned, he saw a flash of golden light, and something flew out of the Duobao Gate, and landed at the feet of the person who Lieyun's eyes were looking at with a bang, and a girl with an angry face rushed out, and stretched out her hand to the person in front of her, regardless of her manners, and said something loudly.

"Stop!"

Mo Ju was wondering if he could buy a few sugar people for Lie Yun to go back when he was done with business, and he was frightened by Lie Yun's deep voice, and the carriage curtain in his hand fell. turned around and was about to ask a question, but saw Lie Yun's gloomy expression, hurriedly closed his mouth, and beckoned the driver to stop the carriage, and the carriage that Cui Wanning was sitting in behind saw this, and also stopped with a whip.

"I got out of the car and told my cousin that my aunt was punished by my grandmother, and she was closed in the house day and night to copy Buddhist scriptures for me despite her hard work, I was really ashamed and grateful to my aunt's heart of love, so I wanted to go to Duobaomen to choose jewelry for my aunt as a gift, invite my cousin to go with me, and by the way, I can also choose one or two for my cousin." Mo Ju didn't know what was going on, but she didn't dare to delay when she saw that Lie Yun's expression was wrong, so she immediately got out of the car and went to Cui Wanning to talk to her.

After only a few breaths, Mo Ju turned around and said to Lie Yun, "Miss Cui said that everything is up to the county lord. ”

Helping Mo Ju's hand to get out of the carriage, the expression on Lie Yun's face has returned to normal, and he can't see the gloom of Fang Cai, Mo Ju secretly sighed that the county lord's hand changed his face well. Seeing that Cui Wanning was waiting by the car with Liu Ye and Mingqin, Lie Yun smiled and nodded at Cui Wanning, and took Mo Ju to Duobaomen first.

At this time, in front of the door, the girl who had just thrown things out ignored the dissuasion of the maids around her, and was still chattering about something, with an arrogant and arrogant look on her face. But the strange thing is that the person who made Lieyun's expression stunned and changed color was so accused in front of the public that he did not react at all, and was indifferent. His back to everyone could not see the expression on his face clearly, but from a single back, he could already feel the indifference and dead silence of that person.

Lieyun's heart seemed to be pierced by something, and looking at the arrogant girl's eyes, there was a cold color like a blade. I heard that Mo Ju beside him had whispered, "That's not, that's not ......" Before the words came out, he closed his mouth again, raising his eyes to look at the look on Lieyun's face.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lie Yun's mouth, "Mo Ju, did you also believe those rumors?" “

Mo Ju was like a chick that had been pecked, and replied with a stalk on her neck, "How is it possible!" That's clearly a slanderous word behind the back of a scoundrel, how could I believe it! Everyone in the Lie family doesn't believe it! “

"That's fine," Lieyun walked straight to the bustle in front of the door, "In that case, what don't you dare to say?" That's the Sister Xi I like, the fiancée of my cousin Gale, and the future grandwife of my Lie's family! “

Listening to Lie Yun's resolute words, the uneasiness in Mo Ju's heart instantly dissipated, and he couldn't wait to applaud the wisdom of his own county lord.

It turned out that the person who made Lieyun stop, the "Sister Xi" in Lieyun's mouth, was Chen Qitai's eldest daughter Chen Xi.

Chen was originally a big merchant of Xuanfu, and he was already dissatisfied with the various atrocities of the late emperor of the previous dynasty, so in the founding emperor of the Great Xuan, Emperor Yongfeng, conquered the previous dynasty to the last moment, and attacked Xuanfu for a long time, when the two sides were in a tug-of-war war, he gambled on the lives of the whole family, and secretly called on the merchants of the whole city to gather their own strong men in one day and night, killed the soldiers of the former dynasty guarding the door, opened the door to the army of Emperor Yongfeng, and took the initiative to donate money and materials to the army, and Emperor Yongfeng was able to take the important town of Xuanfu without blood, and drove straight into the Yellow Dragon.

After the change of dynasty, Emperor Yongfeng did not forget these small merchants when he divided the feudal feuds of those who had the merits of the dragon, not only exempted all the merchants of the Xuanfu from three years of forced labor and taxes, but also gave the Chen family the status of imperial merchants. At that time, the Chen clan was overjoyed, although the imperial merchant was still a businessman, but he had climbed to the imperial power, and the children of the Chen family were able to get rid of the name of the merchant and have the right to gain fame.

After nearly 100 years of development, the Chen family is flourishing, and there are many people who have been admitted to the fame.

Chen Qitai is the first place in the second class of the palace examination in Qinglong's five years, only one step away from Tanhua. After the Jinshi and the first, those poor children who had no money to pay tribute to the sponsors who had entered the official career in Beijing could only sit in the inn and wait anxiously for the officials to have a chance to fill the vacancy. Of course, Chen Qitai didn't need to be like this, but he didn't go to the Hanlin Academy like others, but took the path of the Chen family and entered the Dali Temple, and served as the head of the Dali Temple.

Since he was a child, he vowed to be a person who punishes adultery and eliminates evil and supports justice, so he didn't think about going to be an editor of Wen Zou Zou after the palace examination, and then slowly climbed to the center of power, but went directly to Dali Temple to show his ambitions.

After a hundred years, the Chen family also has its own heritage, but it is not strict about how the children must be, only one point, as an official and doing things, they must not violate their conscience, and they must not endanger the country's society and the foundation of the Chen family. Therefore, for Chen Qitai's choice, the clan naturally gave support.

Chen Qitai entered Dali Temple and soon showed his talent in trying and solving cases. In the tenth year of Qinglong, Chen Qitai's case has been solved, and even several old cases have been closed. At that time, Lin Daojian, the secretary of Dali Temple, had a bright face, and naturally often mentioned this capable subordinate in front of Emperor Qinglong, so in the past five years, Chen Qitai's official position has also been promoted from Dali Temple of Zhengliupin to Shaoqing of Dali Temple of Zhengsipin, crushing a group of Jinshi of the same year.

And Lin Daojian saw that although Chen Qitai's career was smooth, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he was polite and courteous, and he was secretly happy, so he simply gave his only daughter Lin Feifei to him at the beginning of the sixth year of Qinglong.

Coincidentally, although Dali Siqing is a civil official, Lin Feifei does not love red makeup and martial arts, and Zeng Huaisu, the wife of Lieyun Dabo Lieqiang, is the same as him, as the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, but she has the dream of a chivalrous woman.

The two met at a birthday banquet in the Ministry of Rites, although Zeng Huaisu was married to Lieqiang and had a son Gale, but the two still became friends with handkerchiefs. Zeng Huaisu also said to Lin Feifei that when Ming'er gets married, if he has a child, he will become a brother with Gale Wind, and if he gives birth to a daughter, he will be married to Gale Wind.

Gale Wind, who was just one year old at the time, naturally didn't know that he was still ignorant, and he had been set a lifelong event by his mother.

And Chen Qitai and Lie Qiang have also become close friends.

Lin Feifei and Chen Qitai got married at the beginning of the year, and gave birth to a daughter at the end of the year. At that time, Gale was just two years old, and he liked this cute little girl very much, and later knew that this was his little fiancée, and he took great care of her. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts.

In the twentieth year of Qinglong, Gale was 16 years old, Chen Xi was 14 years old, Gale followed his father Lie Qiang and Shu Lie Zheng to the border to guard the town, just waiting for Chen Xi and Ji to return to Beijing in the next year.

Who knows that the situation is unpredictable. In the twenty-first year of Qinglong, Lin Dao was simple and wise, and at the same time, he did not avoid relatives and recommended Chen Qitai to take over his position. And just when the officials prepared the letter of appointment and presented it to Emperor Qinglong for review, a fire broke out in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anguo, and three days later, bad news spread at the border. Emperor Qinglong was furious, and ordered Chen Qitai to cooperate with the Criminal Department to find out the cause of the fire, otherwise he would get out of Dali Temple.

But just when Chen Qitai endured the pain in his heart and led people to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire day and night, Emperor Qinglong collapsed. After the national filial piety, Emperor Jia'an, who succeeded to the throne, directly transferred Chen Qitai from Dali Temple to the Ministry of Rites in the name of Chen Qitai's unfavorable investigation of the case and the inability to make Princess Zhaohua rest in peace.
