Chapter 131 Winning

The ship arrived late, so Qi Yunfeng should go to Tang Kai's shop to decide the winner for the two shopkeepers.

The agreed time in the morning is coming soon. If we wait for the ship to dock before we get down again, we may miss the appointment with those people.

There are still many people placing bets, but we can't ruin everyone's fun.

The five of them, Zhu Zhu and Xiao Bai, really wanted to go with them.

But they just left a few of them behind, and they would be taken to the house later.

On the one hand, they were sad that they couldn't go to watch the fun, but on the other hand, they were happy that they could take on such an important job. In short, it was a contradictory mood.

They stood on the dock and paced back and forth, just hoping that the big ship would dock early so that they could finish the assigned tasks earlier and then run over to see who would win and who would lose.

Over there, in front of Tang Kai's shop, a ring has been played, and many people are placing bets.

People passing by without knowing it were also attracted and came to take a shot.

Either the one on the left will win, or the one on the right will win. Anyway, there is a half chance. The participants have the mentality of having fun and making money, and everyone who comes to watch places their bets.

When Qi Yunfeng led a group of people to appear, everyone cheered.

When the time was up, and the real owner arrived, the shopkeepers on both sides also came out one after another, holding a plate covered with red cloth in their hands.

Tang Kai quickly walked around to the backyard, opened the store door, moved out a chair, and let Qi Yunfeng sit.

Tang Xinyue and Guizhi supported Gu on both sides and took the children into the store, where they sat and watched the excitement.

"Aunt Gui, which shopkeeper do you think has better character and craftsmanship?" Tang Xinyue asked.

"Of course it's the old shopkeeper on the left." Guizhi looked at the thinner middle-aged man outside.

The old shopkeeper has been here for ten years, and the business has always been very good. It was only after there were competitors that the business deteriorated.

As soon as he heard that their store was going to be rented out, he immediately said he would rent it.

I wonder how the shopkeeper on the right found out about this and came out to interfere.

Tang Xinyue looked at the faces and stances of the two shopkeepers, and coupled with Guizhi's words, she already had a judgment in her mind.

She mobilized her mental power, walked to the two plates, and saw what the ornaments inside looked like.

There are gold bracelets on both sides, but the one on the right has an open style with hollow patterns. The style is more complicated and delicate, which is very pleasing.

The one on the left is a closed solid style. The style is simple and elegant, but it has exquisite and beautiful patterns on the inside and outside.

However, due to the different styles, for bracelets of the same weight, the one with a hollow design on the right side looks wider and has a different shape than the one on the left.

With the same gold and the same time, the bracelet on the right is naturally more laborious to make and more attractive.

The hollow craftsmanship makes the jewelry not only beautiful in shape, but also relatively large in size. Spending the same money can buy a bracelet with a larger appearance, which is a very honorable thing.

However, hollow gold jewelry with fancy patterns and shapes has too few support points, and will deform when squeezed and bumped during long-term wear.

In addition, the hollow surface is easy to accumulate dust and produce bacteria. Long-term wearing will not only affect your health, but also affect the beauty of the jewelry.

If we talk about gold bracelets, solid craftsmanship is naturally better.

The shopkeeper on the right made the bracelet hollow to make it look graceful and creative, but in fact there is an element of trickery in it.

The shopkeeper on the left is as honest as a bracelet.

He creates a pair of solid bracelets that can be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms.

Withdrawing her mental power, Tang Xinyue strengthened her original judgment.

Qi Yunfeng glanced back at Tang Xinyue, and then asked the two shopkeepers to put the plates on the ring.

Then, I saw him moving his hands constantly, and the two plates were spinning rapidly as if they had wings.

Everyone was stunned by Qi Yunfeng's technique, and their eyes followed the plate back and forth.

Finally, Qi Yunfeng pulled off two pieces of red cloth, and the two plates immediately stopped.

Now, except for the two shopkeepers, no one knows which of the two bracelets on the plate belongs to which?

Of course, Tang Xinyue is an exception.

At this time, Tang Kai looked a little anxious. He naturally hoped that the old shopkeeper on the left would win.

Judging from this stance, the young shopkeeper on the right is very likely to win.

Everyone was admiring that the hollow design was very beautiful.

He looked at the young shopkeeper, a proud expression flashed across his face, and he felt something was wrong.

Although, after he leaves here, it is none of his business who rents this shop.

But honestly speaking, the old shopkeeper usually takes good care of him and Guizhi.

When I first came to open the store, some people came to make trouble, but they were all settled with the help of the old shopkeeper.

It was precisely because of the enthusiasm of the old shopkeeper that they quickly took root here, and their visit to other places was smoother than before.

Therefore, when Guizhi said he wanted to leave here at first, he was still very reluctant to leave.

Later, when Tang Xinyue and the others came, the situation was naturally different and they had to leave.

"Okay, everyone, now we invite the owners of the bracelets to choose, which one do you like more?"

As soon as Qi Yunfeng made a sound, there was a sudden silence everywhere.

Even those prickly people who usually like to cause trouble are being honest at this time.

But when they saw the majestic Qi Yunfeng carrying a plate in one hand to the shop and placing it on the table in front of Tang Xinyue, everyone felt a little uncomfortable with this rhythm.

However, when they followed over and got closer, when they saw Tang Xinyue's alluring face filled with the aura of a powerful superior, those who wanted to formulate a few sentences quickly covered their mouths.

"Back off." Qi Yunfeng came out and chased people away dissatisfied, "Go to the ring."

Except for the people guarding the ring, everyone else has gathered together. How can this be done?

After hearing this, everyone quickly stepped back.

The two shopkeepers followed the crowd back, and after standing still, they both looked anxiously into the shop.

Tang Xinyue picked up two bracelets and weighed them.

Yes, the gold is not missing at all, the purity has not changed at all, and the two of them are still abiding by the rules.

Then, she handed them to Gu Shi and Guizhi one by one, letting them watch them carefully.

"Ms. Gu, these are so beautiful!"

"Aunt Gui, can I touch you?"

"Sister-in-law Seven, I can't wear it?"

...

Children are very fond of golden bracelets. Whether they are hollow or solid, they are all shining treasures in their eyes.

"You guys, grow up quickly. When you get married in the future, everyone will have a share, okay?" Tang Xinyue shook the bracelet in her hand and said with a smile.

"Oh, good." The children jumped up and clapped their hands.

Only Xiaohua stared at Tang Xinyue, as if she was wondering whether the words she heard were true or false.

"Xiaohua, what's wrong? You don't believe what Sister-in-law Qi said?" Tang Xinyue saw Xiaohua standing there blankly and asked with concern.

"No, Sister-in-law Qi, I'm just so happy that I'm stupid." Xiaohua smiled sheepishly.

It was very rare for Sister Seven to take them in, and she actually said she would give them such valuable things.

Eleven-year-old Xiaohua obviously felt that Sister-in-law Seven had suffered a great loss.

"Mom, Aunt Gui, which bracelet do you think is better?" Although Tang Xinyue already had the answer in her mind, she still wanted to hear the opinions of the two elders.

"This one." They were pointing to the solid bracelet that she was also interested in. "It's not like the hollow one, which will bend if you accidentally touch it."

It seemed that the two elders had similar considerations to hers.

Although I prefer bracelets with hollow designs, the solid ones are better in terms of long-term value.

After joking with the children, Tang Xinyue picked up the pair of solid bracelets and handed them to Qi Yunfeng.

Qi Yunfeng, who had been silent and waiting for her to choose, originally thought she would choose the hollow one, but he didn't want it to be an ordinary-looking one.

Although he was surprised at the moment, he didn't ask any more questions, knowing that his wife must have deep meaning.

"I wonder which shopkeeper made the pair of bracelets on my hand?" Qi Yunfeng walked outside the house and glanced at the two shopkeepers.

"It's me." The old shopkeeper on the left took a step forward.

"Everyone, the winner is the shopkeeper on the left." Qi Yunfeng announced directly without being shy.

"Ah...I won."

"I won too."

"That's not what I said."

...

Those who placed bets were even happier than the old shopkeeper who won when they knew they had won.

The old shopkeeper actually didn't expect that his bracelet would be favored by noble people.

Chapter 132 Great Reunion

After all, today's young rich ladies all like hollowing out craftsmanship.

It's not that he doesn't know how to make hollow styles, he just thinks that hollow styles are not suitable for gold bracelets.

Also, if you want to wear other jewelry suitable for hollow styles, today's time does not allow it.

So, he considered many aspects and made a solid bracelet.

In line with the attitude that even if he loses, he cannot lose to the craftsman, so he carefully polished the bracelet to be the best.

Seeing that his craftsmanship was recognized by Tang Xinyue, the old shopkeeper, who was still a little resigned to his fate, became a little uneasy.

The young shopkeeper on the right blushed immediately when he saw that he had lost.

He was indignant, why couldn't he win because his craftsmanship was better and his shape was more beautiful?

If he wasn't afraid of the superior auras of Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue, he would have cursed them in the street.

"Hey, it's all my fault for not listening to you."

"If you lose, you can win next time."

"Why didn't you pull me to vote for the left just now?"

...

Those who lost their bets shook their heads.

However, they are not the worst losers, the worst loser is the banker.

This time, most people bet on the old shopkeeper to win.

After all, the old shopkeeper has been working on this street for a long time, and many people recognize him.

Those who were unaware also followed the trend and placed bets, and naturally benefited from it.

However, when the banker lost, he didn't dare to complain too much and just paid the money obediently.

"It's all gone." Qi Yunfeng said when he saw that they were almost done.

"Yes, kids, let's go now." The dealer hurriedly replied when he looked at Qi Yunfeng's sharp eyes and it was him who was looking at him.

He didn't want to lose money and get beaten up again.

The excitement in front of them disappeared in a hurry, leaving only the two shopkeepers who had not returned.

"No..." The young shopkeeper on the right licked his tongue, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Qi Yunfeng turned around and handed the bracelet to Tang Xinyue's hand.

"The hollow style I bought is obviously more pleasing to the eye than that pair." The young shopkeeper said unyieldingly.

"But I don't like it." Tang Xinyue said.

With one sentence, the shopkeeper opened his mouth, but finally said no more.

"This is two taels of silver, which is considered as handmade money for the shopkeeper." Tang Xinyue handed the money to Tang Kai.

Tang Kai took the money and gave it to the man.

He reluctantly accepted the money. Finally, the day's work was not in vain, and the wages he was given were plenty.

However, he couldn't be happy at all.

Seeing Tang Kai inviting the shopkeeper over there to come into the room for a detailed discussion, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After fighting for a while, even though we didn't win the store, it wouldn't mean we couldn't open the store that day, and it wouldn't be a bad loss either.

As he walked, he comforted himself.

The old shopkeeper successfully obtained Tang Kai's shop, and he was very generous and wanted to buy everything in his shop.

"Brother, I don't want money. How about selling me a set of jewelry that a woman in your store used when she left the palace, and I'll refund the excess and make up less?" Tang Kai pulled the old shopkeeper outside and said in a low voice.

He couldn't let Guizhi hear it, firstly because he was afraid she wouldn't let him, and secondly because he wanted to give her a surprise.

This was going to be a marriage, and the wedding room and the like were handled by the third sister's family, so he should express his feelings no matter what.

"Yes, let's go. I'll give you a choice first." After saying that, the old shopkeeper led him back to his shop.

After choosing the jewelry and handing over the shop, Tang Kai reluctantly handed over the keys, met everyone, and left together.

Over there, the exile team has arrived at the house.

The three people arranged by Manager Qin came over again and were helping the boatman wash and pick vegetables.

The people at Zhou's side knew that there was a chef tonight and they were not required to cook, but they still helped the boatman wash and cut.

The five pillars were mingling with Dong Yi and the others, and seemed to be fascinated by the sharp aura emanating from them.

These children no longer remember to see which shopkeeper won.

In the backyard, many people set up tents and were resting there.

After being on the boat for a few days, I was exhausted.

Especially those women with children, they would lie down and take a nap with their children without even landing.

After the officials knew the place, they went to Kaizhou City to do business or hang out.

Waiting in the front yard at this time were the entire Qi family and a few people from the three families.

"Brother Seven and Sister-in-law Seven are back." Dong Yi, who was being entangled by the pillar, alertly noticed someone approaching the house.

His first reaction was that Tang Xinyue and the others were coming.

When Shen Lan and the others heard his words, they walked outside the house together. As expected, they saw Qi Yunfeng and the others walking over.

"Aunt Gu, Aunt Gui, Uncle Tang, Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-law." Zhuzi and the others were the first to greet them.

"You kid, how come you are faster than us?" Qi Lan was originally the first to come out, but now he saw Zhu Zhu and several other brats taking the lead, and he immediately asked in dissatisfaction.

"I have short legs, but I can run fast." Zhuzi made a face, and then he and Xiaohua and the others seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, pulling and asking questions.

Mei and the others also came out. After a while of greetings, everyone walked into the house.

Qi Yunfeng solemnly introduced Gu, Guizhi and Tang Kai to the Qi family, which made everyone sigh.

Although Mrs. Gu lived a solitary life after marrying into the Marquis Ningyuan Mansion, Mrs. Mei had heard of her.

So much so that when Mei learned the news of her death, she felt sad for no reason.

After all, at that time, the emperor had intended to marry their two families into in-laws.

Unexpectedly, twelve years later, Mrs. Gu, who died early, could still stand alive in front of everyone. This made the Qi family have hope for their family members who had not yet found them.

After another burst of emotion, the third sister-in-law asked, "Yueyue, who is getting married? It's so festive!"

"It's my Aunt Gui and Uncle Kai." Tang Xinyue pushed them forward slightly.

Aunt Gui suddenly blushed and lowered her head like a little girl who had never seen the world.

Tang Xinyue briefly talked about what happened to the two of them over the years.

"Okay, it's true that lovers finally get married!" Mrs. Mei said with emotion.

The Zhou family and others who gathered around also said some auspicious words, and the whole courtyard burst into cheers.

Later, Tang Xinyue arranged for the female relatives of the four families to live in the east and west wing rooms, while the men and officials from the four families lived in the back wing room.

No one had objections to this arrangement, especially those three families, who were constantly grateful.

During these two days, not only did they not have to pay for the room, but they could also enjoy the banquet for two days.

For this reason, the three families are also discussing. What should they give to Tang Xinyue's family when they get married?

If the gift is light, the sincerity will not be there; if the gift is heavy, they will not be able to show it.

Therefore, after the three families were assigned rooms, the three matrons left the house and went out to the streets to see if there was any suitable gift.

Tang Xinyue arranged Mei and her sisters-in-law into a room, and also arranged eight girls, Cong Gu, Guizhi and Xiaohua, into a room.

This room is relatively large, so it's no problem to accommodate a few more people. She is also planning to squeeze in with Gu and the others.

The small room next to it, where Gao took Qi Mengzhi, Qi Lan and Shen Qiuyue, was spacious enough.

Over there, Qi Yunfeng took his second uncle, third brother, sixth brother and the head of the third family to the back room. After settling in, he rushed to the inn.

One is to check out, and the other is to get the puppet man.

In the inn lobby, the shopkeeper thought Qi Yunfeng would bring someone else, but he didn't expect him to check out.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Qi Yunfeng's cold and proud expression, he swallowed his frustration.

When they left, Tang Xinyue said that they would bring people to live there, but the plan could not keep up with the change.

Besides, if Zhuzhu and the others want to leave, is it possible that he can still tie them up and not let them go?

After returning to the house, Qi Yunfeng found Mei and the others, took out the puppets and placed them on the table.

"Feng'er, what are you doing?"

"Yes, seventh brother, this is mostly a kid's thing."

"Seventh brother, what happened?"

...

Mrs. Mei and her six sisters-in-law were all curious when they saw the five puppets.

In the past, they had only seen Qi Yunfeng wielding knives and guns, but how had they ever seen him playing with such objects?

"Mom, sisters-in-law, take a closer look at the puppet. Who does it look like?" Qi Yunfeng said with a hint of sadness.

His words and tone shocked everyone, and the temperature in the room suddenly cooled down.

Qi Yunfeng stepped back and gave up his seat at the table.

Mrs. Mei and her six sisters-in-law gathered around and finally noticed something unusual.

"This puppet looks like dad."

"Yes, the remaining ones are like four brothers."

"Yes, it's really them."

...

Everyone was very happy after discovering this.

But seeing that there was no smile on Qi Yunfeng's face, he was immediately stunned.

"Seventh brother, what's going on?" Third sister-in-law asked anxiously.

"Feng'er, are your father and four brothers not here?" Mei's eyes turned red.

Chapter 133 Looking forward to the resurrection of the puppet

"Mom, I'm going to call Third Brother and Sixth Brother to come over first." Qi Yunfeng did not answer for the time being, but said something and went out quickly.

In the room, Mei and the others were all staring at the puppet, and no one said anything.

When Tang Xinyue came over, she suddenly found that the room was unusually quiet and was immediately stunned.

When she saw the puppet on the table, she sighed and walked over to support Mei.

Seeing that Qi Yunfeng was not here, and I don't know how much he said about the puppet man, Tang Xinyue simply didn't speak and just stayed with everyone quietly.

When Mrs. Mei saw her three sons coming in, she couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't stop crying.

"Mother..." The three sons and seven daughters-in-law all panicked.

But in the face of such a situation, it is indeed better to cry out the sorrow in my heart.

The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law, and the fifth sister-in-law also cried together with Mrs. Mei.

They were still quite restrained. Thinking of a happy event, they didn't want to scare others, so they all covered their mouths to prevent themselves from crying.

Three years of expectations have come to nothing, and everyone is immersed in the grief of accepting the fact.

The third sister-in-law and the sixth sister-in-law burst into tears when faced with this situation.

Although their husbands are all around, they still want the whole family to be well.

But what's more, the brothers of the Qi family are united and the sisters-in-law are harmonious, and they all hope that the family will be in order.

Now that they have to be exiled thousands of miles away, if their father and brothers come back, the family will be able to weather the storm better.

However, it backfired.

"Mom, sister-in-law, sister-in-law two, sister-in-law four, sister-in-law four, sister-in-law five, come here and see if these puppets have changed?" Tang Xinyue said in surprise.

She couldn't let her mother and the others continue to be sad like this. She was thinking about how to tell the whole story of the matter in a way that would not seem absurd but would make people accept it. She just happened to see the sadness in the puppet's eyebrows.

Mrs. Mei and her sisters-in-law all wiped the tears on their faces and realized that they had just lost their composure.

They looked at the puppet man intently, and their expressions changed.

Even Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yueyue, why do these puppets seem to be crying?" Sister-in-law asked boldly.

"Third sister-in-law, you are right." Tang Xinyue nodded.

Then, she said inappropriately, "How about we all smile again and see what happens to the puppets?"

The atmosphere was tense for a moment. How can I still laugh at this time?

"Mom, just take the lead and smile." Qi Yunfeng supported, "Look, when you cry, the sisters-in-law will cry; when you smile, the sisters-in-law will definitely laugh."

Mei couldn't help but laugh.

Also, she couldn't let the whole family cry on this big day.

"Mom, look, this puppet who looks like dad is also smiling." My sister-in-law said in surprise.

"Really, this one makes you laugh." The second sister-in-law also noticed.

"How amazing!"

...

As if she had realized something, the sister-in-law wiped her face thoroughly and gave her the biggest smile.

The other sisters-in-law quickly followed suit, making themselves laugh.

In an instant, all five puppets turned into smiling faces, causing the whole room to exclaim.

"Yueyue, what's going on?" Mei realized that things were by no means simple.

She respected ghosts and gods, but in all her life, she had never seen ghosts and gods causing trouble.

However, what would this scene be if it were not the power of ghosts and gods?

"Mom, let me tell you." Qi Yunfeng replied first.

He glanced at Tang Xinyue and gave her a reassuring look.

My daughter-in-law is very powerful, but she cannot expose it in front of anyone.

This seemingly miraculous thing was better said by him.

"Mom, sisters-in-law, just yesterday, I had a dream. In the dream, I returned to my home in the capital, opened the door, stepped in, and saw a golden god descending from the sky."

"Behind the god, standing are the five fathers and brothers. They are still wearing the clothes they wore when they left home."

"At that time, I was surprised and happy, and I quickly knelt down and kowtowed. When I woke up again, I had these five puppets in my arms."

"I think God must have sent my father and brother back. One day, they will be able to be resurrected."

Tang Xinyue quietly gave him a thumbs up. Qi Yunfeng saw it and smiled with appreciation.

A story he made up on the spur of the moment almost made him believe it.

Since meeting his wife, he has encountered some things that he would never believe if he hadn't seen and experienced them with his own eyes or heard about them from others.

It was precisely because of this consideration that he came up with a dream entrustment that was more acceptable to everyone.

"Mom, with God's protection, maybe one day the puppets will come back to life." After hearing Qi Yunfeng's words, Qi Yunyi thought it was incredible, but in order to give mother and the others hope, Qi Yunyi said very firmly.

"Yes, mother and sisters-in-law, look, I think the puppets look more like my father and brother than before?" Qi Yunzhuo pointed to the puppets on the table.

The seventh brother's dream was magical, but what was even more magical was that the faces of the five puppets would change and they would also express their emotions. He was looking forward to the day when the puppets would truly turn into his father and brother.

Qi Yunzhuo's words successfully focused everyone's attention on the puppet man again.

Sure enough, the puppets seemed to have spirituality, and their faces and expressions became more and more like those of my father and brother.

"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, fourth brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, and seventh brother-in-law, the dream is true. Our family is protected by God, and the puppets will one day become real people." The third sister-in-law clapped her hands happily and said.

"Mom, sisters-in-law, you must smile more in the future. If you smile more, your father and brother will come back sooner." Sixth Sister-in-law said with a smile.

"That's what the two sisters-in-law said." Tang Xinyue said with appreciation, "Thanks to the blessings of God, these puppets can hear, see, and feel. They are real people."

"Mom, sisters-in-law, father and brothers know everything except that they can't move or eat. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

Qi Yunfeng stepped forward, and as he spoke, he handed the puppets one by one to his mother and four sisters-in-law.

At the same time, he gave each of the drawstring bags that he had taken off before, "This can hold the puppets and carry them with you."

"Mom, sisters-in-law, let's go out for a while." After saying that, Qi Yunfeng took the lead and walked out.

Tang Xinyue followed. Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo and his wife understood and walked out of the room, closing the door behind them.

"Seventh brother, is the dream you mentioned true?" After going out, Qi Yunyi still asked in disbelief.

"Third brother, do you still remember the rumors that I am the chosen one?" Qi Yunfeng asked with a smile.

He hasn't said anything even more absurd. If he did, wouldn't you believe it even more?

"I remember that." Qi Yunyi nodded.

Three years ago, there was a rumor in the capital that the seventh son of the Qi family was the chosen one. This made his father panic all day long, fearing the emperor's wrath, so he acted cautiously.

But no matter how careful you are, what is supposed to come will still come.

"Third brother and sixth brother, do you think your coming back has something to do with me, the chosen one?" Qi Yunfeng asked taking credit.

In order to prevent everyone from focusing on Tang Xinyue, he naturally had to take the credit for himself.

Besides, it does have something to do with him.

"Yes, it's thanks to you that Third Brother and I can come back." Qi Yunzhuo didn't feel much about his return, but he was deeply touched when he saw Third Brother back with his own eyes.

Without the seventh brother and the seventh younger sister, where would they be now?

"You kid, you are getting thicker and thicker." Qi Yunyi patted Qi Yunfeng's shoulder.

This seventh brother wasn't like this before, so why is he so glib now?

That's a good thing, though.

"In order to make you believe me, can I not be thick-skinned?" Qi Yunfeng smiled bitterly.

He risked his life for this and that.

"Seventh brother, don't listen to your third brother." The third sister-in-law pushed Qi Yunyi and said disgustedly, "Go away. I don't know how much I thank my seventh brother and my seventh brother behind my back, but why can't I even say a nice word to them in person? Woolen cloth?"

"No, is this talking about me? Isn't this talking about that dream?" Qi Yunyi was a little scared when he saw his wife showing off her power.

"Who told you not to trust seventh brother?" Third sister-in-law didn't spare him.

"Okay, I was wrong." Qi Yunyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't say anything wrong.

Everyone laughed at their little fight.

"By the way, Seventh Brother and Sister, what should we give to Aunt Gui and Uncle Kai?" Sixth Sister-in-law asked.

They were talking about serious matters. Qi Yunyi and his wife immediately moved closer, wanting to hear what they had to say about this matter.

Chapter 134 Gathering Together

Although my father and brother are dead, they can be resurrected. This is a blessing in the misfortune, but it is a happy thing no matter what.

In time, their family could be reunited, but that would take time.

But now, they all felt that they should express something about Guizhi and Tang Kai's wedding ceremony.

"Sixth sister-in-law, my mother and I prepared a gold bracelet for Aunt Gui." Tang Xinyue replied truthfully.

She and her empress each had a set of two pairs of bracelets as a gift to Guizhi.

Although the courtesy is not much, it is at least a thought.

Moreover, on the way to exile, such jewelry did not take up space and was easy to carry.

"Gold jewelry?" Sixth Sister-in-law looked at Third Sister-in-law, "Third Sister-in-law, it's good to give gold jewelry. It's both noble and festive."

"That's right. Come on, let's go in and see what mother says." The third sister-in-law also agreed to give the gold, so she picked up the sixth sister-in-law and walked towards the room.

After they came out for a while, their mood should have improved.

Besides, the puppet man is expected to come back to life. This is a gift from God and a great honor. The whole family should no longer be depressed.

Sure enough, the moment they opened the door, they saw that their expressions were completely different from before.

"Come on, look, it's really your father!" Mei seemed to be ten years younger, and her eyes had a look they had never seen in the past three years.

A puppet who understood all her thoughts and all her grievances seemed to relieve her of all the discomforts in her body and give her a new lease of life.

"Seventh brother, this is really your eldest brother."

"And your second brother, he looks more and more like him."

"Your fourth brother is back too."

"Your fifth brother can hear everything I say."

Several sisters-in-law also rushed to announce the good news, which made the atmosphere in the room suddenly high.

"Mom, sisters-in-law, no one else except us can know about this matter." Qi Yunfeng reminded solemnly.

He was afraid that everyone would be happy for a moment and spill the beans when talking to others. That would not be good.

Unforeseen dangers must be contained at the very beginning.

"Yes, we all have to remember that if someone knows about this matter, it may bring disaster to the Qi family." Qi Yunyi said with a frown.

"Do you all remember this?" Mrs. Mei also knew the seriousness of the matter and warned, "If anyone accidentally spills the beans, the family will take care of it."

After all, the family had a chance to reunite, and she wouldn't allow anyone to ruin it.

"Remember, mother." Everyone replied in unison.

In the past, Mrs. Mei had never said such harsh words. Even the sister-in-law, who had been in the Qi family for the longest time, heard such family rules for the first time.

There is undoubtedly an additional thought in everyone's mind to protect this secret.

"Okay, it's all over now." Mrs. Mei said tiredly.

"Mom, there's one thing. What should we give as a gift to Aunt Gui and Uncle Tang for their wedding?" Third Sister-in-law said quickly.

"By the way, I almost forgot about this." She glanced at the third daughter-in-law approvingly, then looked at Tang Xinyue, and said, "Yueyue, you can arrange this matter. Deduct it from each of us. "

"Mom, no need, I have my own arrangements." Tang Xinyue smiled.

What she wanted was just a word from Mei.

Afterwards, the few people they entered just now left one after another.

Tang Xinyue never forgot to remind her mother and sisters-in-law that if they want to take a nap, put the puppets outside and don't bring them inside.

After coming out, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

With the puppet man, it seemed that my mother and my sister-in-law could no longer see anyone else.

If it has nothing to do with puppets, they are not interested.

"Seventh brother and sister, let's go to the gold and silver store and have a look." Third sister-in-law suggested.

"Okay." Tang Xinyue looked at the time in the space. It was already four-fifty, and said, "But dinner will be served soon."

"Let's eat when we come back," said the third sister-in-law.

"Yes, seventh sister-in-law, we are not hungry now." Sixth sister-in-law also agreed with third sister-in-law.

"Then you make a good choice on behalf of your family, and we won't accompany you." Qi Yunyi was hungry, and he wanted to eat first, so he pulled his two younger brothers away.

"No." The third sister-in-law refused to do it. The first sentence was yelled, and the second sentence was gentle, "This Kaizhou City is too big. We will get lost later."

"Okay." Qi Yunyi had no choice but to agree.

Tang Xinyue smiled and went to tell the boatman that she didn't have to wait for them when the meal was served.

A group of six people took to the street and came to Tang Kai's original shop.

"Third Sister-in-law and Sixth Sister-in-law, there are two gold and silver shops here. See which one is suitable and choose one for each of you." Tang Xinyue pointed to the left and right.

"Okay." The two sisters-in-law's eyes lit up, they liked this.

The six people walked into the shops on both sides respectively, and the two shopkeepers were shocked by their momentum.

Especially the young shopkeeper, he was glad that he didn't cause trouble just now.

Originally, he couldn't defeat any of them, but if there were three of them at once, his store would be demolished.

Fortunately, after enduring the anger for a while, not only did I not lose anything, but I also got business.

At the old shopkeeper's side, the third sister-in-law chose a necklace with a hollow pendant, which was exquisite and noble;

At the young shopkeeper's desk, Sister-in-law Six chose a pair of long tassel earrings, which were gorgeous and unique.

Both gifts are not expensive, but they are very suitable for the Qi family's current status.

After all, he was still in exile, so it was better not to attract attention.

When Tang Xinyue paid readily, the two shopkeepers were even more grateful.

The old shopkeeper was grateful to meet the noble man. Not only did he get the shop next to him, but he also made a business. He immediately took out a pair of silver bracelets as a thank you gift.

Tang Xinyue saw that the silver bracelet was not expensive and had plum blossom patterns carved on it. Thinking of Xiaohua's silly and cute look before, she accepted it.

Go back and give this silver bracelet to the little girl, and play with it during the day.

After coming out, Qi Yunyi urged to go back.

When they returned to the house, everyone was gathered in the front yard before eating.

Manager Qin also came. Tang Xinyue had previously told Chen Rui to collect the skins made by various families and send them to him under the leadership of Zhu Zhu.

The velvet cloak was sold at a high price, five taels of silver each, which was only one tael more than the gauze cloak.

At the price and the materials used, Manager Qin knew that Tang Xinyue was trying to make a profit, and he immediately followed Chen Rui and the others to give gifts.

After chatting with Manager Qin for a while, dinner started lively at the boat owner's side.

Wang Song, who was sitting inside, saw Qi Yunfeng coming back. He ran to his table without saying a few words and stood up immediately.

Seeing him stand up, Zou Xiaojun and other officials also stood up.

"Master Wang, you and all the officials have worked hard on this journey." Qi Yunfeng thanked him with his hands.

"It's all my job, no hard work." Wang Song respected Qi Yunfeng even more in this impressive house.

They were the only ones who could make such a big fuss after escorting prisoners into exile for many years.

How much money would it cost to spend on this magnificent house and banquet?

He knew that many officials had said privately that they would have a future with the Qi family.

He didn't take it seriously before, but it changed later when he learned that Dong Yi and the others had Yue Yin. Now seeing Tang Xinyue spending so much money just to help a servant get married, he was no longer calm.

If he had a choice, he would also be willing to follow the Qi family.

"Master Wang, the official day of this happy event is tomorrow. If you want to leave Kaizhou, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow." Qi Yunfeng said.

Wang Song must have known about it, but he still had to say it solemnly to show respect.

Sure enough, seeing him say this, Wang Song smiled and said, "Brother Qi, it's easy to say that it's mainly about happy events."

He took Qi Yunfeng's name unnaturally one step further.

That night, the house was brightly lit, and there were fifty banquet tables. Everyone was enjoying themselves, and it was very lively.

There were so many tables, even Zhu Zhu and the others occupied three banquets.

Xiaohua was next to Xiimei, picking up vegetables for her from time to time, but she didn't eat much herself.

Her thoughts were all on the plum blossom silver bracelet Tang Xinyue gave her.

She was the only one to have so many children. While she was flattered, she felt a different kind of warmth wrapping her whole body.

"Sister, eat." Seeing that she didn't eat, Xiimei shouted specifically.

"Okay, sister, eat." Xiaohua rubbed Ximei's head and started to pick up the vegetables.

There are constantly new dishes on the table, and the children all eat to their heart's content.

Even the adults were quietly commenting that this was the best meal they had ever had since their exile.

The house that had been silent for many years became so lively that when the moon came out, I couldn't help but open my eyes and look over.

Chapter 135 Favors

On the second day, Guizhi and Tang Kai's wedding ceremony was very lively.

Early in the morning, Guizhi went to the Qin family teahouse surrounded by a group of female relatives.

The teahouse is closed to the public today, and Manager Qin just made another favor and asked Tang Kai to come here to pick up the bride.

Manager Qin also organized the wedding team, the music group and the trivial matters of the wedding, just to make their day a happy one.

At the auspicious moment, when Tang Kai was sitting on a tall horse, leading the bride's motorcade through the market, pedestrians on the street stopped and talked.

"Who is this? He actually asked Qin's Teahouse on East Street to close for one day."

"I guess it has a lot of background."

"Yes, the Qin family is also a well-known family in Kaizhou City."

...

Over at the house, the boatman's two daughters and a group of children were waiting anxiously at the door.

With help in the kitchen, they would be free to watch the fun.

It was the first time for the eldest daughter of a boatman to experience the rules and etiquette of getting married so close, and she was deeply shocked.

This is completely different from what her mother said, that to be a concubine, you only need to be sent there in a sedan chair at night.

She also heard from Zhu Zhu and the others that this was just a rented house, so they kept it simple.

If it were a wedding ceremony for a wealthy family, it would be even more complicated and grand.

Decent and thoughtful are the standards a woman should have when she leaves the cabinet, and she is definitely not as perfunctory as my mother said.

Thinking back to the words Tang Xinyue said to her that day on the boat, I felt more and more that every sentence was full of selfless care for her.

"Sister, why are you crying?" My sister was standing by and was shocked when she saw tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, really?" The boatman's eldest daughter didn't realize she was crying, and quickly wiped her face with her sleeves, "I'm happy to see such excitement."

"Sister, when you come out of the cabinet, it will be even more lively than this." My sister said with emotion.

"Okay, let me lend you some good advice." The elder sister scraped the younger sister's nose affectionately.

After they played with Zhuzi and the others for a while, they finally heard the sounds of music and gun salutes coming from afar.

On this day, the eldest daughter of the boat family was deeply shocked by the ceremony of marriage.

When she was five or six years old, she attended the wedding ceremony of her relatives. At that time, she just thought it was fun.

Now, after personally experiencing a disaster, looking at this grand ceremony, I neither find it lively nor too complicated, but see solemnity and solemnity in it.

At the end of the day, what I saw, heard, and felt made the boatman's eldest daughter's already firm belief even stronger.

At the same time, I felt infinite gratitude to Tang Xinyue in my heart.

Over there, Mrs. Gu was filled with joy as she watched Guizhi, who had been with her since childhood, enter the bridal chamber with Tang Kai.

Over the years, she owed Guizhi, and now she finally made up for it.

Ningyuan Houfu no longer exists, her daughter and son-in-law are filial and considerate, Guizhi and Tang Kai finally get married. She has walked out of the quagmire that trapped her and has a new life.

Next, what I look forward to most is that I can only reunite with my parents after arriving in the northwest.

In the Qi family, Mei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fully accepted the hope brought by the puppet man. On this day, taking advantage of the joy of the wedding ceremony, they were in a particularly good mood.

Unknowingly, Qi Zhengning, Gao Shi, Qi Heming and others were particularly happy to see Gu Shi and others in a good mood.

As for Qi Lan, Qi Mengzhi, Shen Qiuyue, Chen Rui and Dongyi, they are all children at heart. While watching the excitement, they all seem to have expectations for their future.

Especially Dong Yi and Bei Yi, unlike everyone else, their eyes were more eager.

In the death camp, there was only indifference and beatings. Apart from the wails of physical pain, it was difficult to hear other sounds.

And since leaving the Dead Soldiers Camp and following the Seventh Sister-in-law, apart from that tragic rescue in Wenxian County, there has been laughter everywhere.

Facing the eyes that their loved ones often cast towards them, and looking at the wedding ceremony, they all hoped that in the near future, they would also have such a courtesy.

Dong Yi and Bei Yi seemed to know each other's thoughts and looked at each other encouragingly.

Qiu, He and Mao jointly gave Guizhi a golden hairpin.

Guizhi was very surprised to receive this gift. After all, she had no friendship with these three families and knew that they were just looking for Tang Xinyue's face.

Tang Xinyue also expressed her gratitude for the golden hairpin they gave her.

They are not well-off, and it is rare to be able to do this.

After receiving Tang Xinyue's approval and knowing that the gifts from the Qi family were also gold ornaments, the three mistresses were very happy for their wise move.

Manager Qin looked at the officials and people, vaguely led by Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng, and was even more happy with his judgment and choice.

Although he didn't know how much benefit he would bring to himself by trying so hard to please Tang Xinyue.

But for some reason, he was willing even when he couldn't see any benefits.

This was not in line with his business principles, but he was driven by an inexplicable force and had to do it.

Manager Qin shook his head and laughed, thinking that he was taking a long-term view and catching big fish.

On this day, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the wedding ceremony of Guizhi and Tang Kai was considered a success.

During the dinner, all the officials were drunk.

Even Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun were influenced by everyone and staggered around drunk.

On the way to exile, even if they drank, they had always been very restrained, and they were completely drunk.

On the Qi family's side, Qi Zhengning, who was too drunk, was also a little smokey.

He was also happy today and drank too much without realizing it.

If Qi Yunyi hadn't found an excuse to say that the wine was gone, he would have been completely drunk.

Tang Xinyue was very pleased to see everyone in a good mood.

After the banquet was over, she found the boatman and asked him to come back to make breakfast tomorrow morning.

As for whether to make lunch, that has to wait until Wang Song arranges it.

On the second day, just after dawn, Tang Xinyue got up quietly and walked outside the house.

The boatman's family, who had finished cleaning up the mess yesterday and left very late, have already come over and are starting to wash up.

After saying hello to them, Tang Xinyue walked out of the door and walked outside.

She just turned the corner and within two steps, she saw Manager Qin coming in a hurry.

"Manager Qin, what's wrong with you?" Tang Xinyue asked worriedly, seeing the anxiety on his face.

"Ms. Qi, I'm just here to find you." Manager Qin stopped, rested for a while, and said, "You are going to Huizhou in the northwest. I happen to have a century-old ship that I have replaced. If you don't mind it, This boat is for you. It's okay to take a trip to Huizhou."

The amount of information in these words was too great. After a brief moment of surprise, Tang Xinyue said, "Manager Qin, thank you for your kindness! It's good to have a boat. How much does it cost? It's better if I buy it."

It is naturally better to be able to take a boat all the way to Huizhou without having to ride in a mule cart, sleep in the wild, or be in a hurry.

"No need." Manager Qin said urgently, "This ship is going to be dismantled, so it's better to be a favor."

"Okay." Tang Xinyue was no longer polite, "Thank you so much, Manager Qin,"

"It's just a matter of convenience for us to be friends." Manager Qin said very boldly.

Tang Xinyue knew that he was doing this intentionally to make friends, and it was definitely not for money, so she accepted it generously.

Many things cannot be accomplished with money alone.

Help from all directions is no more dignified and dignified than simply throwing money at him.

She is confident that she can also afford this favor.

"Ms. Qi, I'm going to the clothing store now. I'll leave Kaizhou for Huaizhou in an hour."

"Okay, we'll come to the clothing store later."

The two said a few more words before turning around.

When Tang Xinyue returned to the house, she saw Zhu Zhu coming out and immediately stopped him and asked him to go to the back room and call Qi Yunfeng over.

Zhuzhu got the order and ran away.

After a while, Qi Yunfeng came over and said, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

He got up early and was guiding Qi Heming and Chen Rui to practice early.

When Zhu Zhu called him, he came over immediately, fearing that something bad would happen.

Seeing the worry on his face, Tang Xinyue smiled and said, "Don't panic, it's a happy thing."

"Sister-in-law Qi, what are you so happy about?" Zhu Zhu, who was following Qi Yunfeng, stuck his head out and asked.

Chapter 136 A century-old ship

Qi Yunfeng patted Zhu Zhu's head, "Who told you to steal my words?"

The pillar scurried and hid towards Tang Xinyue, "Sister-in-law Seven, save me."

"Zhuzi, go call Third Brother and Sixth Brother." Looking at Zhuzi's naughty look, Tang Xinyue said.

"Hey, that's good."

After Zhu Zhu left, Tang Xinyue told Qi Yunfeng about Steward Qin's delivery of the ship.

"With the boat, we can go all the way to Huizhou, which is really good." Qi Yunfeng was a little surprised.

With such a long distance, if they took the boat by themselves, it would cost a lot for each person.

It's okay for their Qi family, but the three families must not be able to bear it.

Now that I have my own boat, the situation is very different.

"It's just that we have to hire someone who can sail a boat." This is what Tang Xinyue is worried about.

"That's easy to say." Qi Yunfeng said without hesitation.

Seeing his confident look, Tang Xinyue thought that one of the three brothers must be able to sail the boat when she heard urgent questions coming from behind.

"Seventh brother and sister, do we have a boat?" It was Qi Yunyi who asked.

Tang Xinyue turned around and looked at him, who was as happy as a hero seeing the sword. She immediately understood why Qi Yunfeng was so calm.

"Third brother, there is a century-old ship." Tang Xinyue said with a smile.

The century-old ship is almost abandoned.

"A century-old ship, great!" Qi Yunyi pretended not to understand what Tang Xinyue said, his eyes widened, "No matter what kind of ship it is, as long as it is in my hands, it will be a fast ship."

"Third brother, I still have two more years to live." Qi Yunzhuo joked.

"If you are afraid of death, you can take a mule cart."

"I don't want to take a mule cart. I want to take a boat or a slow boat."

"There are no slow boats, only fast boats, faster boats."

"That's a century-old ship. You don't want your life."

...

The two brothers started pinching each other again, and Qi Yunfeng quickly said, "Third brother, sixth brother, you don't know about the officials and those three families yet, what do they say?"

Qi Yunyi thought for a while and said, "Where did the boat come from? How much is the ticket?"

"Our boat." Qi Yunfeng said in a low voice.

It would be too ostentatious to say that it was a boat given to Tang Xinyue by Manager Qin.

Qi Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and he and Qi Yunzhuo looked at each other and realized that the boat was definitely not from the Qi family, but had another mystery.

However, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, as there is no benefit in knowing too much.

They both knew very well that the seventh brother and his wife were anything but ordinary.

Just say that if they can come back safely, it is also their credit.

Those puppets, they still thought they were fooling me by telling me what they were dreaming about.

If there is any chosen son, it is just a cover for the seventh brother.

This may have something to do with the seventh younger brother and sister.

The two brothers nodded tacitly, as if their family had a boat for a long time.

"Just talk about your own boat. I'll go find them." Qi Yunyi walked to the back room very coolly.

"I have to train those brats." Qi Yunzhuo also followed.

Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng looked at each other and smiled.

A boat fan comes forward and it's a sure thing.

"Let's go to Manager Qin's place." Tang Xinyue said as she walked.

Since the third brother takes action, he will definitely succeed immediately, so they take the lead first.

Manager Qin is in a hurry to return to Huaizhou and cannot delay his affairs.

In clothing stores, there are people lining up at the door early.

It turned out that wealthy ladies were rushing to buy velvet cloaks again.

The fabric of Tang Xinyue's shawl was something they had never seen before. It was beautiful and delicate, so it was naturally very popular.

Seeing Tang Xinyue and the others walking forward, someone said rudely, "Hey, are you jumping in line? Go to the back."

The person who spoke seemed to be a proud woman from a wealthy family. He must be used to talking arrogantly, and his eyes are on the top of his head.

Seeing that she was fighting to buy a cloak, Tang Xinyue immediately smiled and said, "I have more of the kind of cloak you want to buy, so why do I need to queue here?"

"A joke." The woman snorted coldly, "Yes? Then don't come. How dare you talk nonsense."

"I came here not to see where you are in line?" Tang Xinyue said with a smile.

Although she was smiling, her eyes were sharp.

When the woman noticed that the words were wrong, her eyes finally moved back to the correct position. When she looked over, she was frightened by the other person's eyes.

What's more, there is a murderer standing next to him.

After all, she had seen the world, so she immediately lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.

"Brother Qi, madam of the Qi family, you are here." Manager Qin heard from the waiter and knew they were coming, so he dropped what he was doing and ran out to greet them.

"Come on, please come inside."

The mother-in-law took a look and said, "Oh dear, they are really here to queue up."

He immediately took a few steps back, fearing that Tang Xinyue and the others would find trouble.

The Qin family is a big family in Kaizhou.

Although the master's family has not been in Kaizhou in the past two years, they have a good reputation and are not easy to offend.

Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng saw that their mother-in-law was timid and that she was the master who came to give money, so they would not argue with her.

After entering the store, they went directly to the backyard. Manager Qin drove a carriage and took them both out of the back door.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the dock. Walking to a place where the boat was parked, Manager Qin waved to a large boat.

There was a middle-aged man on the boat, who seemed to be the shipkeeper. When he saw Manager Qin coming, he immediately put down the gangplank.

Although this century-old ship looks older than the ships next to it, it is larger and more majestic.

As soon as the three parties made an explanation, the boat became the property of the Qi family in an instant.

"Manager Qin, if you have anything to do, go ahead and we'll wait on the boat for a while." Qi Yunfeng said, thinking about the grand scene of the clothing store.

"Okay, how do you two go back later?" Manager Qin was a little embarrassed.

If he wants to leave, then they have to walk back.

"It's okay, someone will pick us up." Qi Yunfeng told a white lie.

"That's good."

When Manager Qin was about to leave, he heard Tang Xinyue say, "The sky has changed a lot, and the sky in Kaizhou should also change."

When those words came again, Manager Qin was immediately shocked.

He looked up at Tang Xinyue and saw that the other party was facing him, so he knew that these words had profound meaning.

So, he asked tentatively, "May I ask Madam Qi, if Kaizhou is going to change, what should I do?"

"The governor just married the eighth concubine two days ago. It's difficult to marry the ninth concubine." Tang Xinyue said with a hint of ridicule.

With a click, the blood in Manager Qin's body seemed to be injected with new vitality and began to beat rapidly.

Isn't the god of Kaizhou the governor? If you can't marry a ninth concubine, does it mean that the governor will step down?

Manager Qin was about to ask more about how he should seize the opportunity, but he heard Tang Xinyue say, "Manager Qin is going to Huaizhou. Don't waste time. I hope you can leave early and come back early."

Leave early and come back early? Manager Qin understood everything now and immediately handed over and left.

He took the middle-aged man off the boat, got on the boat, and left the dock quickly.

"Yueyue, do you want Manager Qin to be the governor of Kaizhou City?" Qi Yunfeng looked back and followed the carriage away and asked.

"Exactly." Tang Xinyue smiled, "At least, even if he doesn't have a concubine, he is better than the one sitting in the seat."

Qi Yunfeng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the governor will probably die without knowing how he fell from power."

"I guess you are relatively aware." Tang Xinyue said calmly.

"Hey, this has nothing to do with me!" Qi Yunfeng felt a little aggrieved.

Saying this, it seems to be a bit suspicious of him.

However, looking at Tang Xinyue's back as she walked away immediately, he understood a little bit what was going on.

His wife, is this a tactful advice?

It must be.

Qi Yunfeng suddenly became happy, which at least showed that he was still quite cared about.

Immediately stepped forward and kept up with Tang Xinyue.

Tang Xinyue walked around. The ship looked okay, but some parts were neglected and were aging.

The Qin family must be thinking that the century-old ship is about to be eliminated, so they plan to dispose of it.

However, in Tang Xinyue's hands, this was not a problem at all.

What she has is the ability to mobilize flowers, plants and trees. The structure of this ship is mostly made of wood, so the entire ship can be repaired in minutes.

So, she came to the deck and held the railing with both hands. On the surface, she was looking into the distance, but in fact, she was delivering supernatural powers to the ship.

Wherever the superpower goes, all damaged, aged, and rotten places become intact.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the color of the ship is still as dim as before, and it still looks like it has aged materials.

Qi Yunfeng saw that she didn't speak, and just stayed with her quietly, enjoying the quiet time between the two of them.

Chapter 137 The ship is sailing

After the two got off the boat, they went directly back to the house.

For them, this section of the road was not that far. The two of them walked and talked, and they arrived soon.

By this time, everyone had gotten up, and the boatman's breakfast had been prepared and was about to be served to the table.

Seeing them coming back, Qi Yunyi came over proudly and said, "Master Wang agreed to take the water route tomorrow, and the three families also happily accepted it."

This result was as expected by Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue. After all, traveling by water was faster.

It also saves money without spending travel expenses.

"Third brother, didn't everyone say that walking by water is very tiring, so why did you agree?" Qi Yunfeng asked deliberately.

"That's because the ship didn't sail well. This time it will be different." Qi Yunyi walked away without saying goodbye.

If you are tired from taking a boat, that's because everyone is not used to it. Once you get used to it, it will be fine.

In his opinion, traveling by boat was much more comfortable than traveling by mule cart.

What's more, now that we have such an outstanding person at the helm, how can we feel tired?

At this time, everyone knew that they would leave by water tomorrow.

Many people are somewhat looking forward to setting foot on a big ship again.

When they mentioned taking a boat, they began to miss the swaying and vast feeling on the boat.

The matrons of those three families came to Tang Xinyue one after another and said words of gratitude.

After all, they didn't need to buy a mule cart or ship ticket for this trip.

As for eating, Qi Yunyi said that each family can cook it themselves.

This is simply the best, saving time, effort and money.

After breakfast, the four families sent people out to buy supplies and delivered them to the ship under the leadership of Qi Yunfeng.

Along the way, there are various docks where you can stop and replenish supplies.

However, in order to deal with emergencies, each family is still well prepared with supplies.

On Qi Yunyi's side, thirty men were selected as boatmen from those three families.

Although these thirty crew members did not receive wages, they were all happy.

After all, it cost their family nothing to ride the boat, and they learned something as boatmen.

Standing in three rows, listening to Qi Yunyi explaining things to them, these disciples from aristocratic families who usually took care of themselves at home suddenly felt as heroic as going on an expedition with the general.

An unprecedented passion surged into their hearts, making the thirty people look forward to tomorrow's trip with great anticipation.

The boatman cooked for another day in the house, and when they left in the evening, he gave Tang Xinyue the remaining five hundred taels of silver notes.

"Old boatman, you keep this money." Tang Xinyue knew at a glance that the boatman was too honest.

The family has been busy here for nearly three days and bought so many vegetables. One thousand taels is not too much.

"Is this too much?" the boatman said sheepishly.

"Take it, the family's efforts are worth the money."

The boatman was so moved that he collected the banknote.

The whole family came over to bow down and thank Tang Xinyue. In all their years, they had never made so much money at once.

After sending their family away, Tang Xinyue turned around and saw Guizhi and Tang Kai waiting for her.

"Aunt Gui, Uncle Tang, I don't want to hear you say thank you anymore." Tang Xinyue said with a smile.

"Don't say it." Guizhi naturally stopped what he wanted to say, "Let's go and see your mother."

On the second day, after everyone got up, they went to the market to buy breakfast.

Everyone found this arrangement very new.

Especially those three, I think it is worth spending money.

After breakfast, everyone wandered around the market again.

It wasn't until the agreed time that everyone rushed back to the house one after another.

Wang Song gave the order and everyone picked up their belongings and headed to the dock.

Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng went to Manager Qin's clothing store and handed the keys to the house to the shopkeeper there.

At the same time, they also knew that yesterday, the clothing store sold out two hundred velvet cloaks.

This was a bit beyond their expectation. After returning to the dock, they told everyone the good news, and everyone was very excited.

Especially Gu Shi and Guizhi, they were quite happy to know that they could also make money by making cloaks, and they made a lot of money.

In the past, in Ningyuan Hou Mansion, the two of them often did embroidery work to support themselves.

The Hou Mansion deducted their monthly money, and Gu Shi thought that one thing more would be better than one thing less, so she swallowed her anger and didn't think about it, which made those people even worse.

In order not to cause trouble to her parents' family, she was unwilling to tell them, which made things worse.

Nowadays, you can also make money through embroidery work, but compared to the past, it is a world of difference.

When Guizhi and Tang Kai were assigned to a cabin, they were both particularly grateful to Tang Xinyue for purchasing a wedding gift for them.

People didn't get married until they were middle-aged, so they cherish every day they spend together.

They watched a group of children having fun, and there was expectation in each other's eyes.

Zhuzi and the others loved riding in the boat, and they jumped up and down one by one after getting on the boat.

The boat is big and the handrails are high, so there is no fear that they will fall.

And these little children have long been mingling with the older children like Qi Lan, and Xiaohua feels much more relaxed.

At the same time, the children also have new playmates, which are little dolls that are smaller than them and can be hugged from time to time.

Those dolls were already familiar with Zhuzi and the others, and they would giggle whenever they saw them coming.

The roar sounded, the boat slowly left the shore, and the children cheered.

This ship is bigger, and their room allocation is similar to last time.

Cooking is the same as traveling by land. What's more convenient is that there are ready-made cooking places, so you don't have to build a stove yourself.

What's more, for the woman who had received the cloak job, the mule cart ride was too bumpy and she couldn't do anything while on the road.

But it's different on a big ship. As long as they have free time, they can make cloaks.

After boarding the big ship, those officials couldn't be more relaxed.

For them, there is simply nothing to do, as long as they blow in the wind and bask in the sun every day.

Wang Song was even more happy. In the past, it took forty or fifty days to travel from Kaizhou to Huizhou by land if the journey was fast, and two months if the journey was slow.

Now, if you take the waterway, it can take as little as a month.

Of course, this was the first time he took a boat to Huizhou during his exile.

The last time I came to Kaizhou from Du County, the road collapsed and there was nothing we could do.

And this time, being able to take a boat from Kaizhou to Huizhou is simply a magical way.

With such a long distance, no exile group would be willing to spend money to take a boat.

Even he would not sit down if he had to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Wang Song hummed a song again, and Zou Xiaojun, knowing that he was in a good mood, also sang along.

After a while, everyone got used to the rhythm of being on the boat and doing whatever they were supposed to do.

Dongyi and the others don't have to drive, which is another God-given opportunity for them.

Looking over, Dong Yi, Qi Lan, Bei Yi and Shen Qiuyue were mixed in the crowd. They were not eye-catching and had their own small space.

They have become a recognized couple, and people around them are very understanding and protective of them, and they are never easily disturbed.

Only Zhuzhu and the others come over from time to time to find trouble, which adds a lot of fun.

A century-old ship, carrying a group of people laughing and chatting, sailed towards their destination.

Chapter 138 The Great Prince of Southern Xinjiang

The century-old ship has entered a busy and orderly state again.

Tang Xinyue leaned on the railing and looked at the vast water and sky in the distance, and then at the happy children in front of her, always with a smile on her lips.

The vastness of heaven and earth is too ethereal.

And surrounding her were this boatload of people.

Everyone on the boat was laughing and laughing, so it was natural for her to laugh too.

Qi Yunfeng stood beside him. She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either. He just felt the beauty in the air quietly.

Their figures made children, big and small, feel at ease when they looked over.

Under the control of Qi Yunyi, the century-old ship rides the wind and waves with great momentum, turning up white waves.

Although he had not sailed a ship for nearly four years, Qi Yunyi immediately knew what to do as soon as he entered the cockpit.

A general who can lead troops certainly knows that he cannot do it alone.

Wherever he goes, he must take three or four people with him, and he will inevitably meet the first group of people who will sail the boat.

That night, after everyone finished dinner, they went back to their cabins.

Each cabin was not big, and Tang Xinyue was a little worried that her mother would be moved by the scenery in this small place.

Fortunately, after the baptism of laughter and laughter these days, Mrs. Gu has already stepped out of the shadow in the glass coffin.

Knowing that her daughter was worried about her, she said with relief, "Don't worry, you and your Aunt Gui are both on my left and right, there is nothing to be afraid of."

After the mother and daughter said some more personal words, Tang Xinyue left and returned to her cabin.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Qi Yunfeng say, "Yueyue, I want to see Cui Hao."

Cui Hao said that he had summoned the old members of the Qi family, and 30 people including him would come to the northwest to join them.

At this time, Qi Yunfeng obviously couldn't wait any longer. He now wanted to know how many people had come and who were they?

"Okay, let's take a trip tonight." Tang Xinyue readily agreed.

Calculating the time, those people should actually have gathered at Cui Hao's place.

After opening the space door and pulling Qi Yunfeng in together, the two of them arrived in Wuli County in an instant.

In the government office, Cui Hao was sitting with a group of people. Including him, there were exactly thirty people.

All the people waiting have arrived, and they are preparing to leave Wuli County and go to Huizhou tomorrow.

Cui Hao has made it clear to them about the Qi family's situation.

Emperor Jingyuan treated a loyal and courageous person like this. Faced with the joy of being reunited, everyone had mixed emotions.

"Brother Cui, there is civil strife in Southern Xinjiang, the prince is paralyzed, and the other princes are dying and fleeing in the internal fighting, which makes the emperor of Southern Xinjiang want to send people to Dachu to find the eldest prince who is the biological son of the former queen."

The person who spoke was none other than Xu Da, a soldier who had retreated from the southern border and was Qi Yunfeng's old subordinate.

It was precisely because of the sudden civil strife in southern Xinjiang that there would be no war with Dachu for a while, so they could seize the opportunity to escape.

The atmosphere in the room was too depressing, so Xu Da wanted to change the topic.

After all, we can see Brother Qi and the Qi family soon, which is a good thing.

Sure enough, the words he started caused others to join in.

"Yes, the former queen of Southern Xinjiang is from Dachu."

"It's not like they didn't look for it back then, but they didn't find it."

"The eldest prince is half a Chu native, and his identity has been arranged by others. The Southern Xinjiang royal family simply gave up the search."

"I also heard that the former queen deliberately prevented her son from being found."

"Yes, that's right. After all, with his status, he may not survive more than three years after losing the protection of his mother."

"The former queen was also miserable. She was shot to death on the way back to her parents' home. A loyal servant risked his life to take away the eldest prince. Her whereabouts are unknown after that."

"It is said that the person who killed the former queen was from southern Xinjiang."

"At that time, the eldest prince was only more than three years old."

"Now that so many years have passed, it's probably even harder to find someone."

The soldiers didn't know much. After they finished talking, everyone fell into silence again.

There is no war here, but the people from southern Xinjiang disguise themselves and sneak into Dachu. They are obviously looking for their eldest prince, but secretly they have other plans.

I wonder if this short-term calm may be brewing a bigger crisis?

Although they have retreated from the front line, their sincere heart to protect their homeland and country is still there.

"The family of the former queen of Southern Xinjiang have been killed by those with ulterior motives in Southern Xinjiang. If they want to find the eldest prince, they can only find that loyal servant first."

"That loyal servant must be very skilled, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide so well all these years."

"Yes, that child must still be alive."

...

These people came to Cui Hao one after another, and they all arrived today.

Everyone kept talking, wanting to stay a little longer.

It wasn't until Cui Hao got up and asked them to rest early and get up early tomorrow that they all strode away.

Tang Xinyue, who was sitting on a big tree outside the government office, fell into deep thought after hearing their discussion about the eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang.

After seeing everyone leave, she also retreated to the space.

"How's it going? Is everyone here?" Seeing her return, Qi Yunfeng stepped forward and asked expectantly.

"Everyone is here, no one is left behind." Tang Xinyue nodded, "They will leave tomorrow morning and head to Huizhou."

Qi Yunfeng held his hands tightly together, obviously a little excited.

It is rare for those brothers who have been with him through life and death to be willing to come to seek refuge when the Qi family is in such dire straits.

He had the urge to rush in now and talk to them one by one.

Tang Xinyue saw what he was thinking and said, "Otherwise, let the third brother sail the boat back to Kaizhou. After they rush to Du County, they will definitely take the boat to Kaizhou."

There was a landslide outside the west city of Du County. Not only was there a detour on the north side of the city gate, but most of it was a mountain road, which was not easy to walk on. They must have taken the water route.

"It's too exciting to mobilize a large number of people. Look, how about letting Third Brother take it easy and we wait for them at the Qiaokou County Pier?" Qi Yunfeng thought for a while and said.

"That's very good." Tang Xinyue nodded.

Not impulsive, not deliberate, and thoughtful, he has the demeanor of a general.

The next day, Qi Yunfeng found Qi Yunyi, and together they decided to wait in Qiaokou County.

Two days later, Cui Hao and the others arrived at Du County, and sure enough they chose a medium-sized ship to go to Kaizhou.

This ship was faster than the big ship the last exile group took, and it took only three days to arrive.

When they arrived in Kaizhou and got off the boat, they heard a voice shouting hard.

"Take a boat to Qiaokou County. Take a boat to Qiaokou County. I heard there is a big ship there and it is going to Huizhou."

"It's coming soon. If you want to go to Huizhou, get on my boat."

Cui Hao and the others didn't take it seriously at all. There should be a ship from Kaizhou to Huizhou. When they were about to leave, they were shocked by the man's words.

"Guest from Wuli County, quickly board my ship and go to Qiaokou County."

Isn't this obviously calling them?

Moreover, looking at the boat, it was just big enough for thirty of them.

"Brother Cui, it's interesting. How about we sit on it?"

"If it's a trap, aren't we all doomed?"

"Yeah, just in case."

"That's not true. Maybe Third Brother and the others are waiting for us?"

...

Thirty people, everyone has different opinions.

Finally, Cui Hao decided to take that boat.

He wanted to see what was going on?

Chapter 139 Arriving at Qingshi County

Cui Hao and his entourage came over, and the shouting middle-aged man greeted them cheerfully.

"Sir, do you want to go to Qiaokou County? My boat is cheap." He pointed to a boat moored nearby.

"What's a cheap way?" Cui Hao asked.

"My boat is coming from Qiaokou County. I just want to go back now, so the boat ticket will be half cheaper." The middle-aged man said flatteringly.

"Then how do you know we are from Wuli County?" Xu Da asked again.

"The boat just now came from Du County. Many people from Wuli County know how to take the boat when they arrive there in the past few days, so that's why they said so." The middle-aged man said it naturally.

"Why do you say Huizhou again?" Xu Da asked again.

"When I came here, I saw a boat bound for Huizhou docked at the pier, saying that it was waiting for someone. I thought about shouting, no matter where the passenger goes, as long as it goes to Huizhou, there will always be a boat on board. For two people."

Although the boatman's answer was far-fetched, there was nothing wrong with it, which temporarily reassured the group.

They had decided to take this boat, no matter if it was a blessing or a curse, they would not back down.

Seeing them starting to walk up the gangplank, the middle-aged man looked back triumphantly in one direction.

Over there, Tang Xinyue smiled at Qi Yunfeng and said, "Your method is not bad."

"That's right." Qi Yunfeng said proudly.

He still knows these old subordinates. Even if they knew there was a big tiger on the boat, they would go and meet it for a while.

Two days later, when Cui Hao and his party arrived in Qiaokou County, they saw a ship that had been docked at the dock for many days and was bound for Huizhou.

They were on the ship these two days and did not encounter any emergencies.

Cui Hao, who blamed himself for being suspicious, was stunned when he saw someone waving over there.

What a coincidence!

Then, they saw a group of children, big and small, rushing towards them.

"Brother Cui." Dong Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"Dong Yi?" Cui Hao was deeply impressed by Dong Yi when he was in Wuli County, and recognized him at a glance.

"Exactly." Dong Yi said, "Brother Cui, brothers, it's a coincidence to meet you here. Third brother and the others will be pleasantly surprised."

"That's right." Cui Hao smiled, "Let's go there."

Zhu Zhu and the others were as big as brats, and they were not afraid of Cui Hao and the others' fierce aura, so they kept shuttling back and forth in the middle.

To them, these tall and mighty people are not scary at all, on the contrary, they are very kind.

Cui Hao and his team also liked looking at these clever and mischievous children. From time to time, they touched the children's heads, which made them jump up and down, and wanted to compare their height with the adults.

When Cui Hao saw the three people standing next to the big boat, he froze for a moment.

Suddenly, the atmosphere suddenly turned from noisy to quiet.

When the pillar looked at it, he immediately waved his hand, and the children ran towards Dongyi and the others, watching curiously as the people on both sides stood still.

"Third brother, sixth brother, seventh brother."

"Third brother, sixth brother, seventh brother."

"The third child, the sixth child, the seventh child."

Cui Hao and the others shouted one after another, and the scene became lively.

The three brothers of the Qi family nodded silently, pursed their lips, afraid that if they spoke out, they would choke up.

Their eyes were a little red. Seeing their former brothers in life and death, it seemed like they were back to the time when father and son of the Qi family went into battle together.

Wang Song stood beside the boat and was quite moved when he saw the brothers meeting each other.

When this group of people stood there, they were all strong and strong. Although they took off their armor, their magnanimity and majesty did not diminish at all.

If any of his subordinates got into a fight with them, they would all be knocked down with one move.

Such talents had all retired from the army, and Wang Song suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

The Emperor's suppression of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion chilled the hearts of many military officers and soldiers.

If the enemy invades, who in the Chu Dynasty can be used? Who else dares to go up?

Tang Xinyue stood among a group of female relatives, looking at the restraint of a group of old men meeting again after a long absence, and wanted to laugh but couldn't.

At this moment, they must be thinking of those old princes, four brothers and other comrades who were unable to come and had already sacrificed their lives. Their joy was mixed with sadness.

After a brief emotional adjustment, Qi Yunyi gave an order and everyone followed him on board.

The big ship has been docked in Qiaokou County for six days. At this time, it is time to set sail.

Cui Hao and his party boarded the boat, and under the leadership of the three brothers of the Qi family, they saw the people on the boat one by one.

At this point, everyone who wanted to go to the northwest gathered together and pointed directly at Huizhou.

Qi Yunyi and Wang Song said that after stopping in Qiaokou County this time, they went to other docks, got off the ship and bought supplies and left directly, trying to reach their destination as soon as possible.

There are white clouds and clear water, and a century-old ship is passing through it.

At sunrise and sunset, inside and outside the boat, people forget the time amid laughter and laughter.

Twenty days later, the century-old ship arrived safely in Huizhou.

Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun first went to the Huizhou government office to report and learned that the exiled brigade was placed in Qingshi County.

When the boat moved forward and docked at the dock in Qingshi County, everyone had mixed feelings.

Along the way, the nearly two-month journey was full of bitterness and joy, sourness and sweetness, and they finally arrived at their destination safely.

Although it is far away from the capital, Qingshi County is not considered desolate, and everyone is still looking forward to settling down in the northwest.

The three families were not panicked at all. They had already mastered the rules of survival. As long as they follow the Qi family closely, they will not worry about a good life.

The first thing after leaving the dock, Wang Song led the exile team to the county government office.

He had completed the official escort task ahead of schedule. After explaining this last thing, he can return to Beijing.

At the gate of the county government office, the exiled troops were divided into two groups.

Along the way, the four families of Qi, Qiu, He and Mao started from the capital and followed Wang Song into the government office;

Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo, who joined halfway, were waiting at the gate.

County government, Wang Song's handover work went smoothly.

There are quite a few people he brought with him in this group. Except for sending off a group of people in Cangzhou first, the remaining people all arrived in Qingshi County.

This escort trip was good and fast, which also made Qingshi County Magistrate look at Wang Song in a new light.

"Master He, this group of exiles all hope to be assigned to a place." Wang Song took advantage of the county magistrate's good mood and said.

The three families must follow the Qi family. This was what they had agreed upon along the way.

Not only was he relaxed this time, he also made a lot of money. Of course, he also hopes to give something back.

Moreover, he has dealt with Mr. He many times and knows that he has principles in doing things and never accepts money from others. He is a good and honest official.

"A place?" He Cheng wondered, "There are too many people. Isn't it difficult to go to one place?"

"Sir, please think of a way." Wang Song symbolically took out ten taels of silver.

He Cheng's expression changed when he saw Wang Song giving money.

He was not speaking in an official tone, but he really couldn't think of any place that could accommodate so many people at once.

At the same time, he was a little angry with Wang Song. It was not the first time he had dealt with him, and he was doing this.

Seeing this, Wang Song quickly stopped his hand and smiled awkwardly. He was just showing off and didn't want to offend the county magistrate.

"There is a place that is suitable, but no one wants to go there." He Cheng said unsteadily, stroking the beard on his chin.

"Oh, where?" Wang Song asked.

Qi Zhengning, the three brothers of the Qi family, and the heads of the Qiu, He, and Mao families standing nearby were also very curious and looked at the slow He Cheng.

Chapter 140 Ancient Village

What kind of place could embarrass even the county magistrate?

"Ancient Village." He Cheng sighed and spoke.

It turns out that Shanggu Village is located at the very edge of Qingshi County, across the river from the two major countries of Xiyuan and Beijing.

Being on the border, we are vulnerable to harassment from both countries.

A few years ago, there was another weirdo in Shanggu Village, known as the Rat Spirit.

The rat spirit keeps rats in his house and follows him all day long.

The villagers of the ancient village were originally afraid of the invasion of the two countries, and internally they were worried about this terrifying thing, so they all moved out of the village one after another.

In this way, in the huge ancient village, only the rat spirit lived alone.

No, there are those rats too.

Strangely enough, since the villagers moved away, there was only one rat spirit in the ancient village, and the two countries gradually stopped harassing him.

But even so, no one wants to go there.

No one is cultivating the fields in Shanggu Village, and other villages are vying for fields. This has also caused headaches for successive Qingshi County magistrates.

"Master Wang, I wonder what you think?" He Cheng finished speaking and looked at Wang Song expectantly.

He hopes that those who are willing to be in one place can go to the ancient village.

Even if you don't go all of it, you can go to part of it, even a small part.

Wang Song couldn't make up his mind whether to go or not. His eyes roamed back and forth, looking at the six people next to him, and finally locked on Qi Yunfeng's face.

Everyone looked at Qi Yunfeng, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Qi Yunfeng looked towards the courtyard and saw Tang Xinyue nodding towards him, then he said, "Sir, let's go to this ancient village."

"Ah... are you sure you want to go?" He Cheng didn't react for a moment.

Why throw this hot potato away so effortlessly?

He couldn't believe it.

"Go." Qi Yunfeng said loudly.

The name of the village is also called Shanggu.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or maybe the legendary ancient world is related to the ancient village.

Considering this level, even if there is a better place, he still wants to go to this ancient village.

What's more, they have no choice at all.

Furthermore, Tang Xinyue was also willing to go here, which strengthened his idea.

"Okay, okay." He Cheng said "good" three times in a row, and his good mood couldn't stop spreading.

Later, he ordered the county magistrate to register their names and register their residence.

"There is only one rat spirit in the ancient village. With so many of you going there, why not choose one to come out now so that it will be easier to do things in the future." He Cheng said.

When asked this question, the three heads of the Qiu, He and Mao families all looked at the Qi family, while the three Qi family brothers looked at Qi Zhengning.

Wang Song understood and hurriedly said, "Sir, this is Qi Zhengning, a senior member of the Qi family. He is the perfect person to be here."

"That's fine." He Cheng looked at Qi Zhengning's elegant aura and was quite satisfied.

Qi Zhengning smiled bitterly, he had become a minor official inexplicably.

"Sir, some relatives and friends of the Qi family have come to seek refuge. They are waiting at the door. I wonder if you can also help them settle in?" Wang Song took the opportunity to ask.

"How many people are there? Are you going to the Ancient Village too?" He Cheng's face was filled with joy.

"Even adults and children, one hundred and fifty-three people, are going to the ancient village." Wang Song replied truthfully.

"Okay." He Cheng stood up immediately, "We'll do it."

The village under his jurisdiction became an uninhabited rat village, which made him unable to hold his head high in front of his colleagues in Huizhou.

Now that the notoriously deserted village had become densely populated, he naturally readily agreed.

Problems that had not been solved by previous county magistrates were easily resolved during his tenure, which is a great political achievement.

If these people can settle down and thrive in the ancient village, in a few years, no one will mention Qingshi County and bring up the topic of Mouse Village with a look of disgust.

Wang Song was very happy, firstly because his face was so useful, and secondly because he was so easy to talk to.

In short, the Exiled Brigade's arrival in the Ancient Village is a happy event for all three parties.

Soon, an official went to invite everyone at the gate of the government office to come in.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and registered one by one with the county magistrate.

When it was Dong Yi's turn and he was asked who his last name was, he replied without hesitation, "Qi Dong Yi."

As soon as the words came out, even he was stunned, and then he smiled calmly.

These days, after staying with Qi Lan for a long time, the smile he pulls out is no longer far-fetched, it is very natural.

Becoming more smiley and brighter is what Qi Lan said to him.

He attached great importance to this sentence and worked harder to make himself more praised.

When the remaining teenagers saw Dong Yi taking the lead, they also added Qi surnames to themselves.

Although they had been here for less than a month, the warmth that the Qi family brought to them was something they had never experienced in fourteen years.

Regardless of whether they remember their original surnames or not, everyone has the same surname.

When Zhu Zhu and the others met their eldest brother, they all said his surname was Qi, and they followed suit.

However, their surname is not Qi, but Tang, and they are the seventh sister-in-law's maiden family.

If there was no seventh sister-in-law, they didn't know what would happen in the future.

It was Sister-in-law Seven who brought a new life to the twenty-eight of them, so they were proud of their surname Tang.

When Dong saw that Zhu Zhu and the others had also added a surname, but it was not Qi but Tang, he was a little stunned for a moment.

Yes, why didn't he think that their surname should be Tang?

Back when they were in the Death Soldier Camp, without Seventh Sister-in-law, they wouldn't have been able to get out, and they didn't know how long they would have to live such a torturous life.

If they were allowed to experience that kind of life now, they wouldn't be able to bear it even for a day.

After eating honey, I can no longer swallow the bitterness.

Today's good life is all thanks to the seventh sister-in-law.

But, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to ask them to change their surname now.

Forget it, just be nicer to Sister-in-law Seven in the future.

Dong Yi pulled the pillar that was as big as a kid's and patted his round head. This guy's head is really flexible.

Suddenly, he thought that his surname was Qi, and Qi Lan was also surnamed Qi.

No, he still has to be named Tang.

So, he went to the county magistrate again and said bravely, "Sir, my name is wrong. It should be Tang Dongyi."

Can you get this surname wrong? The county magistrate glanced at him with bulging eyes.

"Sir, please do me a favor." Zhu Zhu squeezed forward and said solemnly, "My brother is a bit confused. I made a mistake just now. His real surname is Tang."

Dong Yi wanted to slap Zhu Zhu, which showed that he was speaking kind words for himself, so he tolerated this boy's provocation against him.

"Okay, fortunately, I just remembered it first and planned to register it later." It was just a matter of changing it, so the county magistrate was no longer embarrassed.

"My lord, and my brothers, their surname is Tang." Dong Yi added pitifully.

The brothers were all looking at him. He couldn't help but abandon them!

"Okay." The county magistrate didn't care. Fortunately, it was just a change of surname. It was simple.

The teenagers cheered and thanked the county magistrate.

"Brother Dong Yi, do you have to thank me?" After walking aside, Zhu Zhu said proudly.

"Zhuzi, your brother and I don't have a good head, so I'll hit someone if I'm not careful." Dong Yi made a move to hit someone.

"Sister Lan Lan, Brother Dong Yi is hitting someone, please take care of it." Zhu Zhu ran quickly behind Qi Lan.

"Dong Yi, what are you doing?" Qi Lan naturally wanted to protect the pillar.

"I'm just joking with him." Dong Yi was at a loss.

I'm going to call you a ruthless kid.

These children, big and small, suddenly changed from black households to people with household registration, and their eyes were all shining like stars, so bright.

Only those little babies don't have names yet, and the county magistrate has agreed to register them in the future.

"Everyone, please keep the situation in the Ancient Village secret for the time being." Qi Zhengning said as he said goodbye to He Cheng.

In his position, he seeks his own government. Now that he has been promoted to an upright position, he must be responsible for everyone.

"Okay." All six people expressed their opinions.

This ancient village is just a rat village. Let's talk about it first and scare a bunch of women and children.

You have to think of a way to deal with it first.

As soon as they came out, everyone rushed to greet them.

Everyone was happily talking about the ancient village they were going to and were looking forward to it.
