Six such as

The wind blows the door curtain, and the glazed beads on the curtain collide with each other. The beads are embedded with paint, and when they turn, they have colored light. This was installed by Qi Youliang a few months ago. He said that this is very good for coaxing children, but in fact it is not practical at all. People come and go.

Qi Youzhi was sitting behind the curtain, shaking the basket. The little daughter was lying in it, like him and Qi Youliang, but it didn't matter whether they looked alike or not, they both looked alike.

Bai Qunqing named her Qi Shuang, and said she was his daughter, because Qi Youzhi was a concubine, and the name of the child was not correct, so the girl did not take Bai's surname.Qi Shuang has been in poor health since she was born. Qi You went straight to the doctor and said that the pregnancy was too bumpy. The girl is congenitally deficient and will be thinner when she becomes an adult. It is unknown whether her fertility will be affected because she is a close relative. .Qi Shuang is not in good health. Once she is wrapped in a blanket, she looks like a kitten. She doesn't cry very much, but once she cries, she can't stop. Qi Youzhi never leaves the crib every day, the stove is burning hot, and the medicine is always on hand, for fear that she will die if something goes wrong. up.Even at this moment, seeing Hu Gubaiqi's four family members gathered in the house, he just guarded behind the curtain, listening to outsiders talking, lacking in skills, he dared not go out of the curtain.

The Patriarch of the Gu family was smiling outside: "You Zhi, why are you hiding in there, listening to the government behind the curtain?"

The Patriarch of the Hu family also said: "Come out and have a drink! Fry some peanuts and cut some dried tofu, it's delicious!"

Bai Qunqing began to scold: "You two are sick, the child is drinking before weaning, why don't you drink to death."

The other two chattered and stopped talking. It wasn't because they had to force people to drink, but because they were used to playing around and interrupted. They came here for other reasons.Ever since the white jade bed was unearthed in Xi'an, it has never been seen before in the archaeological world. Liulichang, Panjiayuan and Shenyang Road, Beijing and Tianjin, and places close to Tibet and ancient times are like earthquakes. This matter is too big. Qi Youliang Because of this, he was arrested and shot, and Bai Qunqing couldn't save him after spending all his money, which is a great pity.

Qi Youliang has always been famous. Everyone knows that there is a buddy in the Bai family. His ancestors are sticky poles. The gun was fired, the best buddy was broken, and many outsiders were waiting to see that the Bai family was short of breath.A pillar of the Bai family collapsed, and their anger was not as strong as before. Bai Qunqing decided to recruit the Hu and Gu families and join forces in private. It would be unlucky to be missing one of the three, so he reluctantly recruited the Qi family to make up a stable number.

The three people outside talked for a while, but finally they couldn't continue the chat, and sneaked in one by one to peek at the child. Gu Qiufeng squatted on the ground, holding the edge of the cradle with both hands, smiling playfully, making strange noises, trying to make the child happy. He was not yet married and had children, and felt that children were very strange; Hu Sheng leaned on the pillar and looked down at the baby, a little disdainful, but he couldn't help but look down.He is the oldest, and already has three children, but they are all taken care of by his wives, and they are not close to him; only Bai Qunqing is the most affectionate, he sticks out his face from the door curtain, looks at Qi Shuang, can't move his eyes away, and is heartbroken. Dao said that this child is very cute, and he deserves to be a cheap father.

Qi You was rocking the cradle, feeling weak, seeing that the three of them had come in, he said to Bai Qunqing, "Stop talking?"

Gu Qiufeng spoke quickly: "Stop talking, it's boring."

Qi Youzhi stood up and groaned: "If you don't want to talk, come and help me look after the children. I'll go out to get some air."

Gu Qiufeng said happily: "I'll come, I'll come." As he said that, he immediately stood beside the cradle, and began to shake like a model.Hu Sheng took care of everything: "You go, I will take care of the child, and I promise it will be fine."

Qi You directly lifted the quilt from the door, went outside, and took a few breaths of air. It was deep winter in Sijiu City, it was dark, and the air was very cold. It entered through the nasal cavity and penetrated into the brain.Bai Qunqing followed, handed him a cigarette stick, and asked, "Have some?"

Qi Youzhi was in a dilemma at first, but in the end he couldn't help the craving for cigarettes, and said with a smile, "You still understand me." He took the tobacco rod, twisted some leaves from the pouch, stuffed it and lit it, and puffed.The smell of dry tobacco is strong, and the child doesn't like it, but he has no time to care about it so much at this time. The Qi family seems to be addicted.

Bai Qunqing rolled up her sleeves and asked him, "Have you been in a better mood recently?"

Qi You let out a breath of white air: "It's much better. It's just that sometimes I always dream about him and miss him, and I can't look in the mirror, and I feel uncomfortable when I look in the mirror."

Bai Qunqing sighed and didn't dare to mention it again.The two stood in front of the door for a while, and after a short while, Hu Sheng also came out in despair. He and Gu Qiufeng tried to hug the child to tease him, but they kicked the child in the face, and were laughed at by Gu Qiufeng, and came out in a rage .When he saw the two standing at the door smoking, he regretted that he didn't bring a cigarette holder, but bringing cigarettes was better than nothing.Hu Sheng had a good relationship with Bai Qunqing, but he was directly separated from Qi You by one floor, so he was relatively silent, so he had to squat down and smoke silently.

After a while, Gu Qiufeng pushed open the window and scolded: "There are children here! Why are you smoking!" Hu Sheng hurriedly stamped out the cigarette with both feet, Qi Youzhi also abandoned the cigarette stick, and the group moved back to the house At night, Bai Qunqing went to the shop in the alley outside and ordered pot-boiled mutton, and the four of them had a delicious meal together.

When eating boiled mutton, the room was full of smoke, Gu Qiufeng suggested a toast: "From now on, our four families, Fu Lu Shou Xi, will be one family!"

Bai Qunqing smiled and clinked glasses with him, promised again and again, and added: "It's the second day of the new year, and in the new year, I hope our four families will be well."

Hu Sheng claimed to be the eldest brother, he didn't dance that much, he just raised his glass to drink, and immediately began to make a wish: "Qiufeng doesn't come to Beijing often, it's not easy for the four of us to get together, and today is not the time, Tianhan The ground is freezing, the shops are closed, and the opera singers have sealed their boxes, so you can come back tomorrow when it’s busy, and let’s have a good time.” He toasted again.

Qi Youzhi was just eating meat with a bowl in his hand, but at this time he picked up a cup and touched it lightly. The cradle was placed by the table.

After eating the meat and drinking the wine, Gu Qiufeng had to rush back to Hangzhou, so he didn't stay overnight.Hu Sheng's family has a big business and many children, so they dare not stay overnight, so they have to go back to town house.Only Bai Qunqing stayed in the house. He and his wife had a bad relationship and often stayed here. He slept on the bed, and Qi Youzhi slept under the bed. , The two of them are true friends of gentlemen.

This set of yard was originally given to Qi Youzhi by Bai Qunqing for him to hide in it to raise his children. Unexpectedly, it became an important place for the four families to discuss secrets.Since then, the four families have collectively called "Fu Lu Shou Xi", Hu is Fu, and its symbol is a bat; Gu is Lu, and its symbol is a deer;Since then, the four families have worked together, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous. When one family is in trouble, the three families help each other.

Later, Qi Youzhi named this courtyard again, "Liu Ru Zhai", because he had a hard life, and he knew that the world is like a dream, like dew, like electricity.Bai Qunqing originally said that his name was unlucky and wanted to change it, but seeing that Qi You was about to die, he decided to let him go.

When the other three were away, if Qi Youzhi became addicted to cigarettes, he would open the window so that he could see Qi Shuang in the room.He looked at it like this, squatting at the door to smoke, the smoke curled up, smoked the plaque, and the words "Liu Ru Zhai" were almost blackened.He was always smoking a cigarette and planning to tear down the curtain, because when the wind blows and people pass by, the beads keep colliding, the child will cry, everyone is busy, they don't get together often, no one helps to coax them, it's very annoying.

It will be written later; Qi Youzhi’s story is not suitable for writing a long-form record. In the future, I plan to tell it in short stories one by one. The number of articles is undecided. .

For the first story of Qi Youzhi's story, please refer to "The Story of Immortal Cao Tang" in "Bu Mo".
