country small landowner

"Brother, what do you mean by that King Min? Didn't you say that he is usually very busy with government affairs, why is he still free to invite me to watch the fireworks in his mansion?"

In fact, Qi Yu didn't really understand. Although his treasure was easy to like, he naturally believed that the regent liked his treasure very much, but the regent, who was busy with everything, would invite a little baron to visit him in his mansion. What kind of fireworks, such a thing, is really as abnormal as it is.

"Uh...Actually, I think that King Min may have heard from Qi Xian that the strawberry seeds were obtained from your small orchard, so he is more curious about you. King Min's mansion is the center of the entire capital except the imperial palace. It is the most luxurious and beautiful place outside, so you can go and have a look, lest you stay at home all day and get sick from depression instead. How about I ask Qi Yi to go with you and let him see the world."

"That's a good relationship. It just so happens that Qi Yi is also on his annual leave. But didn't my brother say that he wanted to bring Qi Yiding's brother to the house? He'll be there tomorrow, so it won't be good if he doesn't come to pick him up."

"It's okay, there is your brother at home. His brother has come to the house several times, and he is also a distant relative of your brother's family. He, we have our own chats, so don't worry."

"relative?"

"That's right, your brother's relatives introduced him to a family far away. The family is down, but that brother is pretty good. You see, if you think it's okay, you can settle down after the next year. The eldest is married. You were not there at the time, and the second child is married, you are an uncle, so you have to be there even if you say anything."

Qi Bao smiled and said: "That's for sure. My second nephew got married, how can I not be there. Not only must I be present, but I must also prepare a generous gift for my future nephew and daughter-in-law."

Qi Yu smiled and pinched Qi Bao's nose, "You just get used to him!"

"My nephew, who am I not spoiled by?"

Because of King Min Li Junze's invitation, Qi Bao didn't sleep in for the first time, but got up early, went out with Qi Yi, and prepared gifts for the afternoon at King Min's Mansion.The preparation of the ceremony should have been prepared by Qi Bao's family members, but Qi Bao is not yet married, so it is appropriate for his brother to prepare.

However, what Qi Yu meant was that it would be more sincere for Qi Bao to prepare and buy gifts himself.Qi Bao has nothing to do with this matter, but it's good to go out for a walk anyway, so he didn't refuse Qi Yi to accompany him to buy gifts.

But, why did he meet Xu Jibai even when he was picking things up, and more than once.

"Qi Er, why do I always feel that something is wrong. This Xu Jibai, no matter which store we enter, he must pick the goods in that store." This is unscientific!

"Uh, this, maybe...maybe he happened to be shopping too...right? Jibai, what a coincidence to meet you here."

"It's quite a coincidence. In less than an hour, we have met five times." Qi Bao muttered.

"I've seen my little uncle, who also came to pick out jade ornaments? But you want to give it away? Shopkeeper, show my little uncle what I saw before, and see if there is any one he likes."

Qi Bao felt speechless, so he went to pick out porcelain, and there were porcelains he had seen for him to see.He went to see the gold jewelry, and he had ready-made patterns for him to see.If he doesn't go to the pastry shop to buy a few pastries to satisfy his hunger, he can bring out all kinds of novel pastries for him to taste.Even if he just went to the cloth shop to look at a few red cloths that he was going to take home to make wedding clothes for Zhou Tao, the man could still appear there and show him the ready-made wedding clothes.

The haunted soul stays alive, these four words refer to Xu Jibai, Qi Bao firmly believes.

"Little uncle, my nephew has seen all of these, and they are all top-grade. You can take whatever you like, and take it as my nephew's filial piety."

Qi Bao took a jade ornament and took a closer look. It was a hairpin inlaid with lotus patterns in white jade.This should be worth 500 taels, which is quite valuable as a gift.

Nine dragons jade inlaid gold bracelet with pearls, nine delicately carved golden dragons with pearls in their mouths, connected end to end, inlaid on the white jade bracelet, it looks very agile.This bracelet, just looking at the craftsmanship of the knife, can be worth 800 taels, not to mention the cost of the white jade and gold.Especially when jade is inlaid with gold, this technology is even more commendable.Qi Bao took a rough visual inspection, and among the jade wares, the hairpin was the cheapest, but this bracelet was the most expensive.

"Just this one," Qi Bao threw away the hairpin, and picked up the gold bracelet inlaid with jade inlaid with Nine Dragons. "The dragon pattern on it is very suitable for His Royal Highness King Min."

Qi Bao took the bracelet and asked the shopkeeper to pretend to be good for him, "So who, you mean you pay the money, ah, then I'm not welcome as an uncle."

"Uh...Little uncle, why don't you choose another one to wear for yourself?" The smile on Xu Jibai's face burst for a moment.

Qi Bao stared at Xu Jibai with a smile for a while, and then said: "That's fine." Then, he scooped up the hairpin he looked at first, and stuck it on Qi Yi's bun on tiptoe.

Qi Bao hadn't tied his hair yet, but Qi Yi was full, with a bun on his head, fixed with an emerald green jade hairpin.

"This..." Qi Yi touched his head, and Qi Bao grabbed his arm, "You look pretty on it, don't take it off, just ask your brother to take a look when you go back."

Qi Yi blushed and replied with a smile, "Well, thank you little uncle."

This should be thanks to me, Xu Jibai thought to himself. "It's still early, and it's rare for my uncle to come out. How about letting my nephew be the host and go to Zuixianlou for a meal?"

Qi Bao raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Yi, and Qi Yi then whispered in his ear: "Zuixianlou is one of the biggest restaurants in Shangjing, and the food there is really not the best, only the most expensive. The most famous restaurant there is , is the Zhuangyuanhong in 28 years. Every year, the owner only takes out five altars to entertain guests. I heard that people who can drink this wine can really win the championship in nine out of ten. But this wine is not always available. When It only depends on the mood of the shopkeeper, so it is extremely rare. But little uncle," Qi Yi thought for a while and reminded, "Father forbids me to take my little uncle to drink."

Brother Qi was afraid that his innocent little brother would be spoiled by the gangsters in Shangjing, so he set more than N rules for Qi Yi, no drinking was one of them.

"It's okay, let's not drink, let's eat him in the sea."

"Okay, then let's go to the sea to have a meal with him." Sometimes, Qi Yi felt that his little uncle's speech was very interesting, and also had a special... image, "eat the sea" or something.

"West Lake Vinegar Fish, Buddha Tiaoqiang, Snowflake Chicken, Stewed Turtle with Ham, Fish Head with Chopped Peppers, Steamed Pork with Powder, Crystal Duck Tongue, Boiled Maoxuewang, Cold Jellyfish, Spicy Rabbit Head, Mushroom Ribs, Braised Duck with Bamboo Branches, Fried Frog, Nan Milk lotus root slices, uh... let's add a fungus and lotus seed soup. Qi Yi, what else do you want to eat, the Xu family's nephew is treating you today, so don't be polite to him."

Qi Yi was dumbfounded when he heard Qi Bao report a lot of dish names, these dishes were obviously not something that a small landlord in a remote village could eat or hear.

"Then...then I don't want it, there are already enough dishes." Qi Yi just wanted to order two more, but Xu Jibai's eyes swept him away, and his words changed immediately.

Qi Yi was always a little depressed because he was so spineless, but he was relieved when he thought of someone's method of retaliation.Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, is it human instinct, can be forgiven, can be forgiven, Qi Yi comforted himself.

"Oh, I don't have any staple food. Nephew of the Xu family, you can order whatever you like!"

Who is this inviting? Xu Jibai was depressed. Besides, didn't he call him "Little Uncle of the Qi family" at the beginning? As for what he called himself "Nephew of the Xu family" in the future? There are people who hold more grudges than themselves.

"Uh... I don't know what little uncle likes to eat?"

"Then crystal shrimp dumpling, let's have five-grain porridge, er, I remember Qi Yi likes to eat seaweed and mutton wontons, so let's have a bowl too, let's do this first. Ah, by the way, nephew of the Xu family, what do you want to eat?" ?”

"I...then I want a bowl of wontons too."

Qi Bao opened his eyes wide and looked at him in amazement, "Ah, is it enough for nephew Xu to ask for a bowl of wontons? But what 'I' wants is for 'both of us', and nephew Xu doesn't need it." Do you want an extra copy?" Qi Bao specially emphasized himself.

"Uh..." Xu Jibai finally knew how Qi Bao got his body, and his feelings were not only lazy, but also really not edible.

"By the way, I heard that the wine here is very famous, that champion red..."

"Uh... I asked the shopkeeper, and there is no Zhuangyuanhong for sale now."

"Hey, it's such a pity. Qi Yi, what kind of wine does brother like to drink on weekdays?"

Qi Yi glanced sideways at Xu Jibai, and answered bravely, "Qibuzui."

"Ah, why don't we pack two altars and go back to him."

"Packing?" Xu Jibai and Qi Yi asked questions at the same time.

"That's right, take it away."

"Oh..." They nodded at the same time.

Qi Bao smiled and looked at the two of them for a while, then shouted loudly: "Xiaoer, come to the two altars and get drunk!"

Two altars cost 380 taels, which is more expensive than this meal. This little fat man really dares to ask for it.Xu Jibai felt that his heart was bleeding, hum, get back sooner or later!

This meal, what Qi Bao ate was quite satisfying.In fact, he knew that there was such a store in Shangjing, but his elder brother has always advocated the family tradition of diligence and thrift, so even if Qi Bao himself is rich, it is not good to waste it like this.What's more, the dishes made here may not be better than those cooked at home.

But eating out is such an atmosphere.

"Hi... Ah, I'm so full! Has Qi Yi finished eating?"

Qi Yi didn't dare to move his chopsticks at all, the speed at which Qi Bao ate, and the sharpness with which his chopsticks picked up vegetables, Qi Yi felt that he was full just by looking at it.

Qi Bao hiccupped out of the restaurant, patted his more protruding belly with satisfaction, turned his head and told Qi Yi: "Be careful, don't spill the wine I brought for elder brother. Thank you I'm here to entertain you, we still have to go to Prince Min's Mansion in the afternoon, so let's take our leave first."

Qi Bao cupped his hands, making a farewell look.Xu Jibai laughed to himself, it's really flattering to bribe him to change his address after a meal.

Minwang Mansion?We happened to be on the same road.But what Xu Jibai wanted to see more was Qi Bao's surprised but helpless expression when he saw him suddenly appearing, it really made him feel... all comfortable.
