[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

The misunderstanding was solved, and the girl in yellow was so ashamed that she blushed and stuffed Pang Yu with a basket of cooking cakes as an apology.

The girl in yellow is surnamed Huang. Her family makes pancakes, and has business dealings with several restaurants and inns. From time to time, she helps her parents deliver the pancakes.

She happened to be delivering goods to the Taiping Inn that day, and saw Pang Yu and Bai Yutang getting off the carriage with a child in their arms, seeing that his back looked like the thief she happened to see a few days ago, so she secretly ran to report to the police up.

The county government attached great importance to this matter, and immediately sent a school lieutenant and a team of government servants to follow her to the Taiping Inn.Unexpectedly, she had made a promise at first, but made a joke because she had admitted to the wrong person.

Miss Huang has always been worried about wronging a good person and possibly offending the powerful.

Fortunately, Pang Yu didn't care about her, as long as he didn't wake up little Pang Qi, he could say anything.

However, the officers and soldiers ran to the Taiping Inn with great fanfare, but many people on the street saw it, and they all speculated what it was for. Some people said that they had caught a group of Jiangyang thieves, and some people said that the people from the imperial court went out in disguise. Some even guessed It was for the thieves who appeared in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago and specialized in stealing children.

There were many opinions, and the news spread quickly.

More and more people came to Taiping Inn to inquire about the news, and the captains held their breath and refused to reveal Pang Yu's identity, which aroused even more suspicion.The common people are all eager to join in the fun, not to mention blocking up the Taiping Inn, it's not much worse.

There are many people in the south who are engaged in business. Compared with the people in the north who are mostly honest peasants, the people in the south are more active in their minds and more "gossip".

When Pang Yu was about to tell the shopkeeper to check out and change to another inn, Fourth Brother Jiang appeared after hearing the news.

"After the First Battle of Xiangyang City, the most famous gangsters among the Jiangyang thieves were caught dead. I also said that this is where the Jiangyang thieves came from. It turned out to be you!" Jiang Ping shook his head and smiled, and then looked at it teasingly. Eye white Yutang said, "Fifth brother, it seems that you have been away for too long, and no one recognizes you even at the door of your house."

Bai Yutang didn't have time to pay attention to his brother, holding the babbling little Pang Qi in his arms, trying hard to pull the brush out of the little guy's hand.

Don't underestimate this soft milk doll, little Pang Qi has strong hands, and Bai Yutang couldn't pull it out after a lot of effort, and was even covered in thick black ink spots.

In today's Bai Yutang, how can there be any trace of chic and elegant in the past?

Fourth Brother Jiang smiled unkindly.

Pang Yu helped Bai Yutang compete with the brush in little Pang Qi's hand, distracting the little guy's attention for a while, and tickling him for a while, finally made little Pang Qi let go of his own initiative, and the latter didn't know it, giggling Smile happily.

After this tossing, both of them were sweating, let alone entertaining guests, they couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone caring about Jiang Ping's sarcastic remarks.

Brother Jiang accepted it when he saw it, cleared his throat and said: "Well, you guys pack up your things and go back to the island with me. It just so happens that I have finished my work, although I don't know how to take care of children, at least other things You can still take care of things.”

The two agreed without thinking about it. Originally, their destination was Sunken Island, but they were trapped here and couldn't leave for the time being.

Now that they have one more person, Bai Yutang and Pang Yu can free up their hands and take better care of the children. Naturally, it is not a problem to go on the road at this time.

"That's right." Thinking of Miss Huang who was still trying to identify the back and track down the thieves, Pang Yu asked Fourth Brother Jiang, "Can you let Zhakong Island send some people out to join the government in tracking down these thieves? Committing crimes in Jiangnan and other places, maybe one day our people will run into each other."

Jiang Ping thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I will talk to my elder brother about this matter when I go back."

"Ah."

Pang Yu smiled, knowing that there was an attack from Zhu Kongdao, and the group of people who stole the child would probably surface soon.

But... It is said that their backs are somewhat similar?Pang Yusi thought, if that's the case, then at least these people are also Lianjiazi, and they should not be very old, because there is still a difference in walking between old and young people.

A bold idea came up, and Pang Yu guessed, could these people be the guards of that family, more precisely... guards?

If so, the scope narrows again.

But if you want to think deeper, Pang Yu's energy is not enough. Little Pang Qi is fighting with his face, grabbing his mouth, patting his cheek, and smearing his face with saliva...

I don't know how many jokes Jiang Sige saw along the way, but fortunately they landed on the island without any danger in the end.

The place where the boat passed was indeed as Bai Yutang said, a dense patch of catkin-like reed flowers fluttering in the wind, which is too beautiful to behold.

Pang Yu only had time to stretch his head to take a look, and then was dragged back by little Pang Qi. It was a pity that he couldn't appreciate it until he got on the island.

Bai Yutang helped him tidy up his loose hair, pinched his earlobe, and whispered: "There will be a chance."

Bai Yutang's words became a prophecy.

The fifth younger brother went away for a long time and did not return. When he came back, he not only brought his daughter-in-law, but even a child. This efficiency is simply eye-catching!

Since receiving the news of Jiang Ping, the first three elder brothers gathered in the front hall, rubbing their hands and pacing, impatient, and sent people to look at them every half an hour. I can't sit still.

Fortunately, the road from the boat stop to the door of the house was not far away, and the three of them saw two handsome young men approaching each other without waiting for a while, and the young master was holding a baby in his arms—this was what the fifth brother mentioned in the letter. Little Pang Qi, right?

Three bearded men approached nervously.

"Yeah!"

Little Pang Qi suddenly saw three fluffy faces, and immediately widened her beautiful black grape-like eyes curiously. She was not afraid of strangers at all, and reached out her hand to grab Lu Fang's beard.

Big Brother Lu let out a "hiss", then laughed and said, "This kid has strong hands, follow us Fifth Brother!"

The corners of Pang Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and the same sentence became like himself in his father's mouth.Sure enough, no matter which side of the parents it is, they feel that their children are more like their own family, which is not bad at all.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang simply lifted little Pang Qi from Pang Yu's arms, and handed it to brother Lu: "It's rare that he likes you so much, brother, you can help take it with you."

Brother Lu foolishly took the little nephew and teased him for a while before realizing something was wrong.

Bai Yutang said: "When we came back this time, we also brought a message for His Majesty. You brothers have made great contributions in the First Battle of Xiangyang City. The imperial court wants to commend you. Is it to confer titles on you, or to reward you with gold and silver?"

The brothers thought it would be nice to have a reward, but they didn't expect to be able to be an official position. They all said that the government and the business colluded... No, the cooperation between the government and the people is conducive to economic and trade development.It's just that the official position awarded based on military exploits is definitely not too high, and most of them still work under the hands of Mr. Bao in Kaifeng Mansion, like Zhan Zhao.

Looking around at the brothers present, Bai Yutang first said: "The eldest brother is calm and careful, the second brother is cautious and thoughtful, the third brother is infinitely powerful, and the fourth brother is resourceful, all of them are much better than the younger brother. The younger brother thinks he is not up to the job, so he has already declined the Kaifeng mansion." invitation."

Pang Yu was almost choking on the water when he listened to it. What Bai Yutang said to Mr. Bao at that time was clearly "I am not interested in official positions. If I insist on recommending others and would let me go, why don't some of my friends be willing to let me go?" Come on, brothers."

Mr. Bao readily agreed, as long as he is a talent, he will not refuse, open his arms.

Brothers are still not reliable, and Jinlan's sworn brotherhood is also a trap.

It is indeed a good thing that this kind of thing happens. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to become an official if they do not pass the imperial examination and do not have a prominent family background.So the three elder brothers didn't feel that they were cheated at all, but instead showed joy.

Only Fourth Brother Jiang seemed to see something, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Brother Lu originally felt sorry for Bai Yutang, but when he thought of Bai Yutang's temperament, he just said: "Forget it, Fifth Brother is used to it, even if we let him go home, he won't listen to our words, if he refuses to accept Shangfeng What about your order?"

Jiang Ping nodded and said: "Indeed, it's better to use Fifth Brother's talents in business. Let's all go to Kaifeng Mansion and let Fifth Brother stay, so we can understand the difficulty of being in charge."

Brother Lu agreed very much. Although the fifth younger brother has children, he is still not calm enough. It is good to sharpen his temper.

Bai Yutang saw that they had almost reached an agreement, so he said, "It's a double happiness now, how about we set up a banquet to celebrate, and also treat it as a wedding wine for me and the little crab, how about it?"

The four mice, together with Pang Yu's five pairs of eyes, looked at Bai Yutang.

"I'm going! Why didn't I think of this!" Lu Fang slapped his thigh, and immediately said that this banquet must be held, and it will be held immediately!

"You don't need to invite guests, just a few of our brothers are enough." Jiang Ping said.

Xu Qing nodded vigorously: "I'm going to dig out the jars of good wine that were buried under the tree last year. How can there be no good wine for a wedding!"

Han Zhang, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Then... I will ask my servants to prepare wedding clothes. It may not be possible to rush to make formal dresses temporarily, but red clothes are not difficult to buy."

The family did what they said, and the efficiency was amazing. When the sky was dark, everything needed for the banquet was ready.

The red candle was lit, and the flame flickered slightly.

In front of their own family members, there are not so many red tapes, the husband and wife worship the heaven and earth, burn incense, and then toast three glasses of wine to the brothers.

During the banquet, everyone was slightly drunk. This night, the first to get drunk was Jiang Sige, who always showed his calm face.

The brothers helped each other back to the room, and little Pang Qi wanted to go back to the room with her two fathers. The little meaty hand scratched in the air, and was held by Brother Lu, who smelled of alcohol on his face: "Little guy!" , you are going to sleep with Uncle... Uncle tonight, the spring night is short, don't make trouble with your parents, you know?"

"Yeah!"

Looking at Bai Yutang's room with warm candlelight, Brother Lu smiled gratifiedly, with tears in his eyes.

The old fortune-teller at Hanshan Temple the year before was very accurate. The fifth younger brother’s destiny is a yin and yang, and he has to meet the sun to reconcile the yin and yang.

The fortune-telling old man also said that this person with sunlight has an equally special fate, and if he calculates his horoscope, he may still be a person who died early.

After hearing this, Big Brother Lu beat up the stick, thinking he was farting.

But apart from this incident, everything the old man said was fulfilled, and it was absolutely accurate.Brother Lu began to panic.

In the world, men belong to yang and women belong to yin. How can we find someone who can match Bai Yutang's horoscope?What's more, the old man also said that he is still a dead person by looking at his horoscope, so why should he wrong his fifth younger brother to get married in the dark?

Seeing the fifth younger brother getting older day by day, Lu Fang was burning with anxiety but dared not reveal it to anyone, not even his own brothers.

So these years, he also indulged Bai Yutang to wander outside, let him live as long as he wanted, and secretly hoped that what the magic stick said would not come true.

Unexpectedly, he was actually met by Bai Yutang.

So what about a man, as long as he is a living person, not to mention that An Lehou is not bad in appearance, his family background is good, and he even has successors.

Lu Fang wiped his eyes, put away his sentimental emotions, and pinched little Pang Qi's chubby claws again: "Don't want to sleep yet? How about uncle teaching you how to draw a bow?"

"Ah!" Little Pang Qi giggled, this time it was finally no longer babbling, he seemed to understand what the uncle said, his eyes were bright, full of curiosity.
