Blessings of Time Traveling

The meal in the afternoon or evening is the real reunion dinner.Qi Mingcheng set up three tables in the courtyard, not only the eight personal soldiers had seats, but also Ah Shun and the others.After all, Ah Shun and the others had shared joys and sorrows with Zhao Chengyi back then, so they were considered their own.

Mrs. Zhao thinks this arrangement is very reasonable.Since she was willing to ask Ah Shun and the others to live in the house of Saburo and Shiro, it showed that she was not the kind of person who valued status very much.Everyone can celebrate the return of her second son together, and she really only has gratitude in her heart.

Qi Mingcheng sometimes secretly wondered about the old lady's identity back then.She seems to be a well-educated person. In this era, if a woman can receive a good education, it means that her family background must be very good at that time.But at the same time, she would not look down on people with identities like Ah Shun and Bao Chunsheng, and she couldn't see the aloofness of rich people in her.This seems to be somewhat contradictory.

During the reunion dinner, Zhao Chengyi sat on one side of the old lady, and Zhao Dalang sat on the other side.And Qi Mingcheng sat beside Zhao Chengyi.

Zhao Chengyi ate and ate, and suddenly said: "When I came back last time, I mistook Mingcheng's identity and almost took him as my mother's adopted son."

The old lady Zhao said with a smile: "Both of you don't know each other's identity, luckily you finally made it clear."

Zhao Chengyi said again: "I'm thinking...Mother, why don't you really recognize Mingcheng as your adopted son. Mingcheng, are you willing?"

Qi Mingcheng quickly swallowed the food in his mouth: "Why are you talking about this?"

"This matter has been in my heart for a long time. After knowing that my mother was seriously ill, and that Saburo and Shiro were about to give up their studies, I was afraid for a while. Fortunately, you took care of the house for me! I will never forget this kindness. I will forget it." Zhao Chengyi's words came from the heart, "Besides, you were my savior when I was in the northwest. So, why don't we become brothers with different surnames?"

The last time he went home, Zhao Chengyi knew that Qi Mingcheng would definitely leave.However, he was very grateful to Qi Mingcheng.So, Zhao Chengyi came up with an excellent idea.If he becomes Qi Mingcheng's sworn brother, won't he be able to justifiably take care of him and repay him in the future?

"Even without me, nothing will happen at home." Qi Mingcheng shook his head.Even without him, the Zhao family's fortune is very good.

Zhao Chengyi has been in the army for a long time, and he has also learned some domineering habits from those soldiers. He said with a strong attitude: "I know you are a capable person. Even without my care, you can make a difference in the future. But , I still hope that you can give me a chance to repay my favor."

"You treat me like an outsider when you say that." Qi Mingcheng deliberately pretended to be unhappy, "I have no qualifications for the imperial examination, and I don't plan to join the army. If God is willing to reward me with food, I can at most Become a big businessman. You are not the same, after a catastrophe, there will be great blessings, and you will be able to rise to the top just around the corner! How about this, if you don’t think I’m a burden, I’ll recognize you as a big brother today!”

Both are very humble, and both try to lift each other up in their words.

Zhao Chengyi hurriedly raised the cup in his hand: "Okay! It's hard to chase after a man's words, we two brothers will do one first!"

Qi Mingcheng also immediately raised his glass.

In the cup is rice wine with a very low alcohol content, all of which are homemade.The two clinked glasses boldly, and then drank it down.

Except for the two of them, the Zhao, Qi, and Ji families in the yard were all dumbfounded.Mrs. Zhao originally thought that the two of them already had a friendship. Qi Erniang suspected that Qi Mingcheng had unilateral feelings for Zhao Chengyi. Zhao Dalang, Sanlang and Shilang were thinking about how to resolve the marriage contract. Ji Xiaomei felt that the second brother and Mingcheng were a good match In the end, with just a few words, why did things suddenly develop like this?

Before everyone came back to their senses, Zhao Chengyi had already put down his wine glass, and boldly hooked Qi Mingcheng's shoulder.

Now that the relationship between the two is not an awkward husband and wife relationship, but a brother relationship, Zhao Chengyi's movements immediately became much more comfortable.He laughed and said, "We should be brothers together! Otherwise, our fate wouldn't be so good! Good brother, how old are you? If there is a mouthful of meat to eat, your mouthful is absolutely indispensable! Even if my brother has no ability and can only drink water, I have to get you some dry rice!" These words are not gorgeous at all, but such plain words are more able to prove his mind.

Qi Mingcheng picked up the jar of rice wine, filled it up for Zhao Chengyi, and said, "Okay, after dinner, we will set up an incense table to formally worship. I don't think I have any great skills, but I can use the opportunity to get some money. After you If there is something missing, just tell me, and you're welcome."

After saying these words, Qi Mingcheng had a subtle feeling somewhere.It turned out that the magic weapon in his body responded.

If Qi Mingcheng leaves the Zhao family, his personal luck is not enough for him to continue to obtain spiritual water.However, after he became Zhao Chengyi's adopted brother, the fortunes of Zhao and Qi's two families actually began to merge again, so the daily drop of spiritual water would continue to exist.This is of course a good thing.

Although Qi Mingcheng's body has been taken care of properly, in this era where the medical system is extremely backward, sometimes a small cold can drag people to death.In health, spiritual water is not very effective; but when someone is sick, spiritual water is a rare thing that can save lives!

Zhao Chengyi and Qi Mingcheng had another drink.

The rest of the people watched quietly, not knowing what to say anymore.

After eating, Zhao Chengyi couldn't wait to start arranging the incense table.Qi Mingcheng started working on the sacrifices.

Seeing that the two children seemed to be coming for real, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "You... you... Forget it, you just become brothers like this! Originally, I should recognize Qi Xiaoliu as righteous." Son, this is more grand. It’s just that Erniang is my eldest son’s wife now, if I recognize her brother as my son, the relationship inside will be messed up. If you swore to yours, we still count as us when we talk about relatives.”

This means that only Zhao Chengyi recognizes Qi Mingcheng as his brother-in-law, and others still treat Qi Mingcheng as Qi Erniang's brother.

One day in the future, the whole family will admire the old lady's foresight!If the old lady recognized Qi Mingcheng as her adopted son at this time, then Qi Mingcheng would be Zhao Chengyi's brother, and there would be no other possibilities for the two of them in the future.But now, it is only Zhao Chengyi and Qi Mingcheng who are sworn brothers. Although they have become righteous brothers, according to the customs in some places, such righteous brothers can also be equal to Qi brothers.

In short, the old lady's efforts to turn the tide gave the two "I treat him as a brother, and I still want to have sex with him" a loophole to exploit in the future.

On the second day after returning home, Zhao Chengyi took his family back to Shanglai Village.Qi Mingcheng did not go back with them.

The Zhao family's house is also not big, so all eight soldiers stayed in Lidong Town.Qi Mingcheng asked them what they meant. If they wanted to continue living in the restaurant, then they would continue to live there. If they wanted to move to the Qi family, the Qi family would welcome them.The soldiers all chose to live in his home.

Qi Mingcheng deliberately spread the news that Zhao Chengyi recognized him as his righteous brother.

Then, he did nothing but drank tea at home every day.

Zhao Chengyi can stay at home for a full month when he comes back this time.Saburo and Shiro didn't have such a long vacation, and they had to rush back to the provincial school after a few days.On the day the two scholars left home, Zhao Chengyi sent them to Lidong Town, and then went to sit at the home of his righteous brother Qi Mingcheng.

"Do you have any clues about your sister?" Zhao Chengyi asked.

Qi Mingcheng shook his head: "No one has come to the door recently... Could it be that we guessed wrong?"

Zhao Chengyi shook his head, didn't say "yes" or "no", just said: "wait a few days and see."

"By the way, I remembered something." Qi Mingcheng changed the subject, "Which way do you plan to take when you return to the northwest in a few days? I happen to be taking Ah Shun and the others to run a business. If it is convenient, we will go together. Yes Without the care of your eight personal soldiers, no one will dare to rob my goods."

"Convenience! I don't have any business to go back and forth this time, so it's very convenient to take you with me!" Zhao Chengyi assured, patting his chest.

Qi Mingcheng chuckled: "Then it's settled. By the way, I'm not following you for nothing. I'll give them a red envelope for your eight brothers. Don't refuse them for them. I've always been myself. I can let others drink some soup while eating meat. Besides, if I hired someone to escort me, wouldn’t I still have to pay for it? As for you, I won’t be polite to you, there is no wages for the brother-in-law .”

Zhao Chengyi was happy when he heard it, but he didn't spare him, saying: "Could I be greedy for your little red envelope money?"

"Who told you how many years older than me? When it's Chinese New Year, it's only right that you give me a red envelope." Qi Mingcheng also joked.

"There are no red envelopes among the same generation. You don't know where this rule comes from!" Zhao Chengyi said again.

Qi Mingcheng thought for a while: "When I was in the business last time, I heard a passing peddler say that the custom in their place is that as long as you are married, you have to give red envelopes during the New Year. Yes, even if you become a bad old man, you can always get red envelopes."

"According to what you said, let's ask the eldest brother for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year this year, and take the opportunity to empty out his private money." Zhao Erlang said.

In the Zhao family in Shanglai Village, Zhao Dalang, who was betrayed by his younger brother, suddenly felt his nose itchy, and then sneezed loudly.
