Blessings of Time Traveling

For Zhao Chengyi, it was indeed a very shameful thing to spread the news of his return in brocade clothes.

However, he still did it!

No wonder Mrs. Zhao was thinking too much.

Qi Mingcheng was still hesitating whether to tell his guess about Si Ni and Wu Ni, but the old lady Zhao had already grabbed Qi Mingcheng's hand: "Good boy, there is no need to say anything. Since you have already reached a tacit understanding, then I’ve figured it out in my heart, so I don’t need to worry about it.”

This time it was Qi Mingcheng's turn not to understand.

As early as after Zhao Chengyi came back for the first time, although Zhao Dalang didn't see him, he still responded quickly and wrote a letter to the provincial school.So Saburo and Shiro, who had just started their studies, started to ask for leave again.Counting the days when Zhao Chengyi would be home soon, they hurriedly asked for leave.

However, they did not go home immediately, but waited in the province.When Zhao Chengyi returned home from the official road, he would definitely pass by them first.If it weren't for the fear that everyone would miss them on the way, they really wanted to go straight to the northwest. The days of waiting on their fingers were really sad.

At this time there was no phone call, and although Zhao Chengyi's letters were always sent back one after another, relying on the letters, he could only estimate the approximate day when Zhao Chengyi would arrive home, not every day.Qi Mingcheng discussed to bring Mrs. Zhao and others to the town and live with him.

Mrs. Zhao went to the ferry every day to wait on crutches.

Actually, Qi Mingcheng's house is not too far from the ferry.Zhao Chengyi is now a person with an official position. When he goes home by boat, when he disembarks, there will be people beating gongs, drums, firecrackers and cannons, and some clever people will come to Qi's house to report.But Mrs. Zhao is willing to wait in person.

If it was normal, Zhao Dalang would be very embarrassed to bring his whole family to live with Qi Mingcheng.Moreover, he has to stay in the country to sell tofu.But now, tofu can be sold at any time, what a big deal it is for my brother to return home, he must see him as soon as possible!

If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhao who had already met Zhao Chengyi, if it wasn't for Zhao Xiaomei's family and Qi Mingcheng had already met him, if it wasn't for the fact that these people couldn't have become confused together, Zhao Dalang would even suspect that the current life is just a dream.But he was still terrified.

Fear, but also look forward to.

When he was waiting at the ferry with the old lady, every time he saw a boat approaching from afar, Zhao Dalang's heart seemed to jump out and his throat was squeezed.

In fact, Zhao Dalang is not the only one who is anxious and looking forward to it?Even the old lady who has seen Zhao Chengyi with her own eyes, touched him with her own hands, and cried while holding him, she once stared at him for a long time, still felt as if she was trapped in a trap. in a dream.

Compared with them, Qi Mingcheng is much calmer.

Qi Erniang has to say a few words every day that good people get good rewards.She usually has the habit of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. When the family has no money, she will recite a few words of Buddha's name in her heart;However, Qi Erniang has always been reluctant to spend a lot of money on incense.Thanks to Zhao Chengyi's blessing these days, the bodhisattvas and gods whose names can be read by Qi Erniang are much more incensed!

Guessing that Zhao Chengyi was really coming back, Zhao Xiaomei brought Ji Liang to live with Qi Mingcheng.

A few days later, Sanlang and Shiro also came home, and they said: "Second brother wrote again, saying that he changed his way, and went directly to the house by boat instead of staying in the province. It's time! We couldn't see Big Brother sooner if we stayed there, so we all came back."

The whole family gathered together.

Compared with that kind of prosperous family, the Zhao family, the Qi family and the Ji family together are not as large as a small family of four generations, but when all of them are waiting at the ferry, they immediately become a family. A landscape that cannot be ignored.There are only a few people here, but there are three talented people in it!Even the seemingly ordinary Qi family, everyone can see that Qi Mingcheng is now going uphill.

By the way, that Zhao Jia Erlang who died and came back to life as a general is still Qi Mingcheng's husband!

Because Zhao Chengyi's experience was too legendary, the villagers had already told the story of the Zhao family several times, so they naturally did not ignore Qi Mingcheng.In the eyes of many people, Qi Mingcheng must be "removed".However, now that Mrs. Zhao attached great importance to Qi Mingcheng, they suddenly became unsure again.Mrs. Zhao only asked two people to support her, one was her eldest son and the other was Qi Mingcheng!

The two sons who have been admitted to the scholar are standing behind the old lady!

The attitude of the old lady Zhao is actually the attitude of the Zhao family, not to mention that when people stand around and watch from a distance, they can always see Qi Mingcheng talking and laughing happily with a few friends from the Zhao family.That being the case, even if Qi Mingcheng, who entered the gate of the Zhao family by accident, could not become the "wife of the general" in the end, as long as Mrs. Zhao recognizes him as a foster son, he will still be the righteous brother of the great general and the son of two talented men. Brother-in-law is Ji Xiucai's brother-in-law.

By the way, Qi Mingcheng's second sister married the eldest son of the Zhao family!If she lives well, can she not protect her brother?What is the concept of eldest son and daughter-in-law?That is to say, the Zhao family is not big, so it is not visible at ordinary times. If it is placed in a big family, and it happens to be a direct branch, the eldest daughter-in-law is the clan wife!

So, can someone like Qi Mingcheng be provoked?Of course it is impossible.He suddenly provoked countless envy and jealousy.

On the second day after Saburo and Shiro returned home, looking around, the river was still calm.

Everyone was waiting at the ferry, although each of them was worried and had no interest in chatting, but they had to say something to lighten the tense atmosphere.So Zhao Jiasanlang started first and said: "Brother Mingcheng, the "Qi Ji" you wrote was seen by the master of the official school, so he took it to read."

"Appreciation? Don't bury me." Qi Mingcheng said with a smile.

He said this not because of modesty, but because he knew what he was writing.It doesn't talk about the purpose of the article, nor does it talk about whether the things about the low-level people he recorded can make readers appreciate it, but only the language style. His language can only be called plain.For example, if an article like "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" is a beautiful palace, "Qi Ji" written by Qi Mingcheng can only be regarded as the simplest wooden house. Not amazing at all.But scholars at this time attach great importance to literary talent.

When Qi Mingcheng was writing "Qi Ji", he had an idea in his mind.

This book may not be elegant, but it can be read to those illiterate farmers and peddlers in the market.

Zhao Jiasanlang hurriedly said: "These are the original words of the master! Your book caused a little conflict in the school. Later, the master knew about it and asked me to take the book out. After he turned two pages, Suddenly he closed the book and held it in his hand with a serious face, and then asked me 'can you lend me this book to read.' When I left home, Brother Mingcheng said that this book can be lent to others. So, I lent the book to my master."

Qi Mingcheng thought, this is probably the case, but San Lang must have exaggerated his words.

Qi Erniang was holding Yuzhu'er and stood aside, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of conflict? What happened to the book Mingcheng wrote?"

Zhao Jiasanlang showed a disdainful expression on his face: "Didn't Brother Mingcheng ask me to help him polish the manuscript? I often carry the manuscript with me for easy reading, but I was caught by someone. I don't want to talk about it. , is nothing more than meeting a villain who wants to deceive the world."

The man's uncle's family ran a bookstore, probably thinking that "Qi Ji" could be sold as a storybook at a higher price, anyway he wanted to steal the manuscript.It's just that Qi Mingcheng gave Saburo the third draft, and he still had the first draft that Qi Sanniang compiled into a book and kept it as something good. These are all evidences!Zhao Jiasanlang told this matter directly, and the person who stole the manuscript naturally did not dare to take risks, so the manuscript was not stolen.

However, Saburo did not grasp the substantive evidence that the man wanted to steal the manuscript, so this matter could only be put on hold for the time being.

As a result, within a few days, that person colluded with several other scholars and began to criticize "Qi Ji" vigorously. He took the opportunity of criticizing "Qi Ji" to criticize Saburo and Shiro. If you don’t want to learn about miscellaneous books, then go home and farm.”Moreover, Qi Mingcheng wrote in "Qi Ji" about how Ah Shun and others used herbal wisdom to save themselves, and those people began to criticize the three views in this chapter. As a slave, he dared to lie to his master. The desire to subvert the hierarchical order of "monarch, minister, minister, father, son and son"!

In short, the mouth of literati is very powerful.

Saburo and Shiro didn't take these people seriously, and the two brothers didn't lose in the whole matter.Then, because the incident was a bit big, the masters also knew about it.When the master called Sanlang to understand the situation, he borrowed the manuscript of "Qi Ji" by the way.

"... Ah Shun and the others, it's not a matter of the master and the servants, it's clearly a foreign race's oppression of their own race. Could it be that they are happy to see foreigners treating their compatriots as beasts? Thinking back to when Duke Zhen was alive... Think about it now, alas." Mrs. Zhao sighed.

Qi Mingcheng immediately stood in awe.The old lady is no ordinary old lady.

Probably because the old lady knew this in her heart, she sent the second son away since the second son had a heart during the conscription.Of course, when the news of her son's death came, she regretted it immensely. (Families who are reluctant to send their sons to the Northwest can redeem the quota with silver.)

"Mother! The boat is coming! It's a big boat!" Zhao Dalang suddenly called out.

Yuzhu'er clapped her hands in a daze, and cheered, "Big boat! Big boat! Second uncle! Second uncle!"

Zhao Dalang reckoned that his daughter could not see that far, so he took her from his wife and let her ride on his neck. He asked excitedly, "Yuzhuer, can you see the second uncle? Are you careful?" Look, if anyone is standing on the bow, it must be your second uncle!"
