The younger generation has become successful, and life is going smoothly. Now that the granddaughter is back, old man Qi feels as if he has become twenty years younger in an instant, with a radiant face.
"Your grandma and I have been in good health these past few years. The palace will give us rewards from time to time. Your Majesty is so kind. Every month, the imperial doctor will come to ask for peace of mind for us. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest princess will also come from time to time.
Send supplements.
But you can't see your breasts today. She goes to play with an old sister in the city and doesn't come back for two or three days.
When your father went to the northwest with the order, your mother, your third brother, and the rest of them all went with him. But don’t worry, they are doing well in the northwest. They often send messages back. Just a while ago, your third brother and
The fourth brother also fought with your father in a battle with Gaochang. The letter said that your third and fourth brothers all made meritorious deeds.
Your second uncle has been raising pigs for a few years now, and your second aunt opened a food shop in the city two years ago, and now their family is living a good life."
As Old Man Qi told his story, Qi Baoer realized how much his family had changed over the years.
The entire Lao Qi family has gone their separate ways.
Qi Kang'an was ordered to station in the northwest. Except for the old man Qi and his wife, and Da Lang who was running for the imperial examination, all the others, regardless of whether they were biological or not, followed him to the northwest.
Dali also worshiped Lu Qinghe as his disciple by chance three years ago. Lu Qinghe was transferred back to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital five years ago as a minister shortly after the prince returned to the capital. Daliang became a disciple of Lu Qinghe.
As a master, Lu Qinghe would often call Daliang to his house to teach him.
It happened that Da Liang had just been called away by Lu Qinghe yesterday, saying that there was some kind of banquet in the capital, attended by students who were going to take the examination this year, and that Da Liang should also go to 'have fun'.
Qi Kangfu was the only one left in the village from the second house. He focused on raising pigs for nine years. At first, he helped the big house raise pigs. Later, when Qi Kangan became a general, the pig raising business was directly given to Qi Kangfu and was sent to his
In my heart.
From the beginning, he only raised less than twenty pigs, and he stumbled along the way. Now, Qi Kangfu is already a famous pig farmer in Yong'an City.
Li Qin opened a snack shop in Yong'an City, located next to Songming Academy, the most famous college in Yong'an City. Although the restaurant is not big, due to Li Qin's craftsmanship and geographical advantages, the business of the snack shop has been booming.
good.
Er Liang followed him to the northwest, and Wu Liang and Qi Liang both studied at Songming Academy.
Aunt Qiyue has a family, and everyone works in the workshops. Song Shuming is now the general manager of several workshops, Qiyue is in charge of the braised pork workshop, and Wenxiu works in the braised pork workshop; both children are also in Songming Academy.
Enter school.
The third uncle's family, the third uncle and the first three aunts are not mentioned. No one knows where they are now. Fourth Liang has also gone to the northwest. Sixth Liang is also studying, but now he is following Da Liang and goes to Beijing to grow up.
gain knowledge.
As for the fourth uncle, if it weren't for Qi Kang'an's good daughter who helped him secure a future, Qi Kangtai was the most promising among the old Qi Jiakang generation. He had already won the ninth place in Jinshi six years ago and is now in the north.
He was appointed as the prefect of a place called Ancheng.
As the grandfather and grandson talked, the gate of Qi's house was in front of them.
Looking at the familiar yet somewhat strange mansion door, Qi Baoer had a feeling that things were different.
But things are different and people are different. Not to mention the family reunion, only the father and the second uncle are left in the village.
After asking the housekeeper to settle the disciples, Qi Bao'er went to wash up first, and then the grandfather and grandson sat in the study and were finally able to talk openly.
Looking at his grown-up granddaughter, Old Man Qi almost shed tears without saying a word. He missed the most important years when his granddaughter grew up.
However, she is indeed his granddaughter, Qi Wenlu, who looks so handsome, just like him.
The grandfather and grandson first talked about their respective lives after separation, and then the topic naturally turned to nine years ago.
Old Man Qi let out a long sigh, patted his granddaughter's hand and said guiltily: "If it weren't for us useless family members, why would you have suffered such grievances?"
The whole family has always wanted to protect Guaiguai. If they can't be a backer, at least they can't be a hindrance.
But the reality is that it is these useless family members who make his obedient not only helpless in doing things, but also have to endure being plotted against.
Qi Baoer smiled nonchalantly, "Master, I'm not coming back."
He must have been holding it in for nine years, and his heart was really blocked. When the old man heard his granddaughter's comforting words, he felt no comfort at all, as if a child had been wronged and finally found an adult to talk to.
"At that time, you suddenly became a high-ranking official, and your father became a general, the Qi family army. Taking our Qi family name as your name, what an honor it was.
At that time, I was also in a daze, just enjoying myself and not thinking about how we could get those things."
——I haven’t thought about it, my lord, it’s useless to think about it. The emperor’s decree, do they have the right to say no?
Besides, it is related to the honor of the entire Qi family. Even if the old Qi family felt that there was something wrong with it, the rest of the family would not let go of this opportunity at that time, okay?
Moreover, if you look back on the situation at that time when you have free time, you will find that the emperor did not allow them any extra time to think about it.
From the time they received the imperial edict and the troops and supplies were waiting until they set off, they only had two days to prepare.
Qi Baoer was an official for the first time, and he was still a first-class disaster relief envoy, the main person in charge; Qi Kangan was a general for the first time, and he was still the leader of the Qi family army; father and daughter had no experience and no preparation, so in two days, they were in a hurry
departure.
If you wait to think about it after you hit the road, you will figure out that something is wrong. How can you then think about it in time?
"After your father came back and talked to me, I found out... [pointing in the direction of the capital] that man's plan. He paved the way for the prince and used you as a sword shield. How old were you then? You were not even five years old.
How can he bear it?"
——My silly master, what does age mean to an emperor?
Qi Bao'er didn't understand what happened that year at first. She knew that the emperor ordered her to be a disaster relief messenger and made her father become the military commander of the Qi family. Such an obvious act of honoring the Qi family must have some other meaning.
Very purposeful.
How can an emperor engage in loss-making business?
The greater the benefits it provides, the greater the price you have to pay.
She had suspected that the emperor wanted her to help the prince. According to the current situation in the south, the prince had been active in the south for such a long time despite being hit by disasters everywhere. It was obvious that his purpose was to use the people from all over the south to
If you don't stabilize this point, take over the power.
However, something happened to the prince at Pingyuan Pass. After she met the prince, she suppressed this suspicion.
She could not clearly see the thoughts of the Emperor who had been the Emperor for decades, but she was confident that she could tell whether His Highness the Crown Prince was taking advantage of her.
After that, she didn't think about it anymore. No matter what, as long as they could stay stable, their Qi family would gain great benefits.
Until the emperor suddenly became "fainted" and traveled all the way to pray for her father-in-law to rush her from the south to Beijing. At that time, she happened to find someone who could convict King Xuan, and might even be able to convict someone from King Xuan's old department in the south.
The critical moment when all the officials came out.
