12 Chapter 12
The man has more strength than his brother, even if Ji Zimo is two or three years younger than Qi Yu at this time, it is still the same.
The confinement on his wrist was like fine iron, and Qi Yu saw that he leaned out to look out, and led him out of the car as if he was not messing around, so he let him too.
The apricot tree at the head of the village was bare, and a beggar waved his hand, and when he saw the people in the carriage getting down, he turned his head and ran towards the apricot blossom village again.
Ji Zimo whispered to Qi Yu: "Wait until you pass that tree, you will drag me forward." โ
Qi Yu???
I don't know what I thought, Ji Zimo let go of Qi Yu, turned around and went back to the carriage to get a hat.
Under Qi Yu's calm gaze, help him carry it on his head and put down the veil that covered his face.
"The aunt in the village likes to play tricks on thin-skinned newcomers, you have an eye-catching appearance, and you are a newly married husband, if you meet it, I am afraid that you will not be able to resist."
He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go!" โ
He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, different from walking side by side at home, half a step faster, in line with the rules, and walking like an ordinary husband.
The veil of the hat covered his face, and also covered the wind that swept his face, Qi Yu looked up at the person in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, as if a drop of hot oil had fallen.
Qi Yu: "Where is your home?" โ
Ji Zimo: "Big Tree is the fifth in the past. โ
Qi Yu: "Why don't you just let the carriage go to the door?" โ
Ji Zimo: "Then wouldn't others see that you dragged me back." โ
Qi Yu: "Why do you want others to see it?" โ
A palm-sized gravel blocked the road, and Ji Zi kicked it to the side: "Ji An has been back for two days, there must be rumors in the village, I will take you back to pick up people, and you, who are sisters-in-law, dragged me back to pick up people, the result is naturally different." โ
"The former others say that your Qi family does not tolerate Ji An, and the latter others will only say that my brothers said goodbye and praised you for being a sister-in-law."
Saying that, he looked back at him: "Do you understand?" โ
The hot oil in his heart spread, and Qi Yu's heart palpitated, he has been smart since he was a child, where can he not understand, but he just vaguely guesses and dare not believe it.
After a change of thought, he deliberately embarrassed him and said, "You didn't say that you didn't care about other people's opinions, why did you make such a false appearance?" It seems that you are also a person with the wrong heart. โ
Ji Zimo: ...... It's really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
In the courtyard of the Qi family, several poorly dressed beggars surrounded Ji An, and said greedily: "Your father and mother must love you very much and dress you thickly." โ
On the kitchen board, chicken, duck, fish and various pastries were full of them, and a beggar wiped the drooling with the back of his dirty hand.
"Your family must be very wealthy, and there are so many delicious foods, if anyone lets me eat such a once, I am willing to die even if I can."
said with a look of happy memories: "Last year, a young master asked me to drill his โกโก, and he was happy to drill him, so he rewarded me with a meat bun, and the taste is like this for the peach in the sky." โ
The child who spoke was about the same age as Ji An, and he sucked it as he spoke, and after a year, the specific taste was already confused, but he could describe the taste as attractive.
Why? It's just superimposed all the goodness on the meat buns.
Ji An's eyes widened in shock: "Drill โกโก?" Just for a bun? โ
Xinghua Village is a simple folk custom, and Ji An can take care of five acres of land alone, and there are also villagers who help openly and secretly.
He has endured hardship, hunger, and cold, but compared with a real beggar, he is still far from it.
Because his brother is a prodigy praised by everyone, he has had a proud pride since he was a child, and he looks at Ji Zimo as bigger than the sky.
A few people were talking, and a beggar ran in outside the door: "I went to pee just now, and I saw a person dragging another person to this side, looking at the demeanor of the dress, it must be the young master of which family." โ
"The lady on the road is called that Lang Junzimo."
Ji An suddenly stood up and ran out: "It's my brother who came back, it must be someone from the Qi family who dragged him to prevent him from coming back." โ
After coming back for a few days, he cried day and night, and wanted to go back, but he couldn't pull his face, crying and crying, and began to complain about the Qi family again, even if a little guy came back to pick him up.
The four beggars completed their tasks and retired, quietly went out of the village, ran to the carriage outside the tree in one breath, took the forty taels of silver given by Siqin, and left happily in the ox cart.
Before leaving, he knelt and said many auspicious words.
On the way to Ji's house, several eldest ladies surrounded Ji Zimo and Qi Yu, and persuaded them according to the posture of their elders.
"People say that fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, you brothers, how can there be an overnight feud, Ji An is young, just look at his hard work for a few years, don't worry about him."
He praised Qi Yu again: "It's still you, the husband, who knows proportion, and is a member of the United Family ......"
Seeing Ji An running against the wind, he hurriedly pushed the reluctant Ji Zimo over: "Take it quickly!" The child kept crying at night, afraid that he knew that he was wrong. โ
As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted to Ji An, who stopped a few steps away: "Ji An, don't let me mess around without knowing the sense of proportion!" Your brother is still angry! Fortunately, your sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and she doesn't worry about you, so she drags him to pick him up, and she is not allowed to be ignorant anymore! โ
Ji An thought that the eldest brother was coming to pick him up, but the Qi family didn't let him, but who knew that it was the other way around, because the eldest brother was unwilling to pick him up, and he never forgave him.
At that moment, he turned his back and wiped his tears.
Whether people are good or not, they like to say some big truths, so that others can obey themselves and show their own weight.
A few people here continued to persuade Ji Zimo and Ji An, and a few people over there helped go back to Ji's house to pack up their burdens.
said it was a burden, but in the end he came out empty-handed.
When Ji Zimo and Ji An were sent to the big tree, Aunt Zhao, who lived next to her, said, "Zimo, shouldn't you come back?" โ
Ji Zimo smiled and said, "I'll come back when I have time." โ
Aunt Zhao smiled: "Yes, this is your home, you still have to come back to see it when you have time." โ
"Our Xinghua Village is not far from the county, one back and forth a day is not a problem, aunt look, the table you read is missing the corner, it should not be used, my kid recently went to a private school, just missing a desk......"
Ji Zi didn't know what he meant, and said at the moment: "Auntie, take it and use it!" โ
Aunt Zhao laughed when she heard the words: "Hey, good, Zimo has climbed a high branch, where can I still see such a tattered, my aunt will use it." โ
At the end, he boasted: "Zimo, this kid knows how to be grateful, and it is not in vain that you were sick that winter, and my aunt gave you a bowl of hot broth." โ
Others echoed and boasted.
The words of climbing the high branch made Qi Yu's heart tighten, as if he had been held tightly by someone with his palm, and his brows under the hat were wrinkled.
Ji Zimo smiled faintly and said goodbye to humanity as usual.
When he arrived at the carriage, he let Qi Yu board the carriage first, followed by Ji An, and finally went up and closed the door by himself.
Ji An was immersed in her own sadness, shrinking in the corner of the car and wiping away her tears.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, a grunt sounded, Ji An's action of wiping his tears was suffocated, and Ji Zimo hooked his lips and smiled.
This kid is afraid that he will be in pain this time, and he is sad that he doesn't know how to make his own food.
Seeing that Ji Zimo didn't understand, Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, pulled up his sleeves and picked up a plate of osmanthus cake, as soon as the plate left the table, Ji Zimo kicked him and motioned him to put it down.
Qi Yu frowned at him, and finally put down the plate and closed his eyes to the side, too lazy to care about their brother's bad things.
The grunts sounded one after another, and Ji An cried out in embarrassment, and he was so depressed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.
Ji Zimo kicked Qi Yu with his toes, tapped something on the table with his chin, and looked at Ji An, who was biting his lip but still couldn't stop crying.
Qi Yu: ......
I don't want to toss with Ji Zimo, but when the two get along, there must always be a relationship, so for the sake of Ji Zimo's reputation today, Qi Yu can only accompany him to toss once.
He knew why Ji Zimo let him hand over the pastries, but this was not necessary for Qi Yu, and Qi Yu didn't care whether Ji An liked or hated him.
This time, he didn't care about the child, if Ji An did too much in the future, Qi Yu naturally didn't care about him anymore.
He picked up the plate of glutinous rice osmanthus cake, moved it to Ji An's side, and handed it over gently.
Qi Yu thought that he was afraid of another bah, but who knew that Ji An hung his head and took the plate, his voice was like a gnat, and he said thank you, sister-in-law.
Qi Yu looked at Ji Zimo in surprise, Ji Zimo raised his eyebrows at him, and smiled proudly.
Qi Yu gave the steps, and Ji Zimo sat down and rubbed Ji An's head: "Since the eldest sister left home, you and Ji Ya have taken care of the family and me in the past few years, my brother spoke too harshly that day, and now I apologize to you." โ
Ji An stuffed osmanthus cake in his mouth and cried out.
Crying and crying, he hugged Ji Zimo and shouted, "There is still meat at home!" Forgot to take it. โ
The corners of Ji Zimo's mouth twitched, and he was a little disgusted with his tears: "If you forget to take it, you forget to take it, and now you have already gone to other people's pots." โ
In the small incense burner in the carriage, the sandalwood rose slowly, except for the whipping of Si Ping outside the carriage, only the movement of Ji An munching on pastries.
The carriage of the Qi family was big enough, and in the drawer of the table, there was pen and ink, Ji Zimo opened the drawer and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He has studied calligraphy in modern times, although he is not very good, but he can still write calligraphy, but he has never done ink research.
The class is prepared by others, and he, the eldest young master, yawns to write two words, and he doesn't go when he's in a bad mood.
He took the ink strip, looked up and asked Qi Yu, "Is it just pouring water and grinding ink?" โ
He asked this as if he was looking for something, Qi Yu grabbed the cuffs with one hand and took the ink strip at the same time.
After all, there was no convenience at home in the car, so he directly stained the water droplets with his fingertips, dropped two drops onto the inkstone, dropped the ink strips on the inkstone, and pushed and pulled back and forth to grind the ink.
Qi Yu's literary talent is not lost, if it weren't for the fact that his brother was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, it was also possible to take a meritorious test.
Ji Zimo's prodigy is famous, and he is also looking forward to his literary talents, thinking that Ji Zimo has a poetic sense at this time and wants to write.
He leaned sideways, studying the ink, while staring at the tip of Ji Zimo's pen.
After three breaths, Qi Yu threw down the ink strip in his hand violently, his chest rose and fell, and he sat on the side sulking.
There was a lot of movement, and even Ji An raised his head and looked at it puzzled.
Ji Zimo looked at the masterpiece in his hand, and then at Qi Yu, who was eight zhang away from him: What is this angry about?
He leaned over and held the paper in his hand in front of Qi Yu: "Isn't it beautiful to give it to you?" โ
Others sent a test word, but he sent it in a unique style, and he couldn't bear to say: "Why did you send me this strange pattern?" โ
Ji Zimo lowered his voice and said: "Didn't you just let you take the initiative with Ji An, thinking that you were wronged, draw a smile to express your gratitude." โ
White paper and black ink, with a few simple strokes sketching a smirk.
The emotion of regret is like cotton meeting water, gradually weighing heavily on the tip of the heart.
Outside the door of Qi's house, Ji Zimo and Ji An got out of the carriage, and Qi Yu quickly bent down and picked up the wrinkled smiling face in the small wooden barrel containing waste paper.
He was like a thief, his heart pounding.
Qi's mother left home, leaving Qi Qiu behind, he took care of Qi Yu since he was a child, saying that he was a subordinate, more like an elder.
Before Ji Zimo went out with the futon, he was stopped by Qi Qiu, and said curiously: "Where is my uncle going to go with the futon?" โ
