Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Little ginseng doesn't understand what it means to pray.

But she has always listened to Liu's, and nodded directly: "Okay, I will go."

Granny Liu didn't bother them, bowed respectfully and left.

Ye Jiao then remembered, pulling Qi Yun and asking, "Msang Gong, what is blessing?"

Qi Yun held Ye Jiao’s fingertips, and said slowly: “Every year before the New Year’s day, my mother goes back to the temple to make a wish, and sometimes invites the monks in the temple to give lectures, hoping that family harmony and luck will be smooth in the coming year. When the time comes, you will have to donate some sesame oil money. Don’t worry about these, my mother will tell you what to do."

But in Ye Jiao's ears, she heard a word next to her.

Monk.

Ye Jiao didn’t hear this word for the first time. She had been buried in the deep mountains and knew nothing about external affairs. A lot of knowledge was told to her by the little fox, and the word was also said by the little fox. Over.

The little fox said that you must walk around people who don't have hair. The kind of people who don't like fairies least, as long as they become a spirit, don't care about the good or the bad when they meet them, they must be cleaned up.

At that time, the little fox met the great monk who came out to wander around, and broke up with each other. It took a long time for the little ginseng to heal.

At this moment, when Ye Jiao heard that she was going to see the monk, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously said, "I'm not going!"

This was the first time Ye Jiao showed such resistance, and it shocked Qi Yun.

Regardless of asking the reason, the man stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Jiao tightly. He reached out and touched her hair, soothing: "If you don't go, you won't go, it's fine."

Ye Jiao clutched Qi Yun's fur clothes tightly, and stuffed her whole person into the man's arms.

When Qi Yun's cool fingertips touched her cheek, Ye Jiao suddenly realized that she was no longer a ginseng essence.

She is a person, a complete person, a person who can't spell without evil spirits.

Before, the little fox almost lost his life because the monk hated fairies, but Ye Jiao is not a fairy now, so there can be no more accidents...

The tight body slowly softened, and Ye Jiao rubbed Qi Yun's arms and muttered, "Does mother like to go?"

Qi Yun still kept her body close, and his voice slowed down: "My mother didn't believe me before, but then my body got worse and worse. She began to worship Buddha. She has been going there every year for nearly ten years. ."

Ye Jiao moved her fingertips and looked up at him, "Really...is it effective?"

Qi Yun smiled, lowered his head and touched the top of the woman's hair with his forehead: "This kind of thing is impossible to say. If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, there will be nothing. Sincerity will be good."

Ye Jiao still couldn't figure out what it was to pray for blessing, but after listening to Qi Yun's words, her heart moved.

She used to be a fine ginseng, which naturally means that everything is alive, but the little ginseng has not seen ghosts or gods except for other fairies from the day when she was conscious to becoming a human being.

I don’t know if there is a fairy Buddha or not, but what if?

I am a human now, and there is no need to be afraid of those big monks. It should be fine to go with my mother-in-law.

Since you are a man, you must be a talented person.

Ye Jiao comforted herself in her heart, and then softly said to Qi Yun, "I want to go tomorrow."

Qi Yun didn't know what Ye Jiao had thought in this short period of time. He didn't seem impatient with her own lady's vacillation. Instead, he curled up his lips: "Don't worry, Xiaosu will be with you then, you If you feel bored and come back with her, the sister-in-law will go home early every time, so my mother won't mind."

Ye Jiao nodded obediently.

Then Qi Yun thought about the sesame oil money, and said: "Is there no money in the box?"

Ye Jiao replied softly: "There is still about seven or eight dollars, and I plan to reward Xiaosu and Tiezi at the end of the year."

"You take it first. After a while, all the money from the shop will be collected, and your small box will be full." Qi Yun said and laughed, and then gathered her in his arms.

But this time, her hand touched something that the man was holding in his arms. It was a long and slender object. Ye Jiao couldn't help but squeeze: "This thing is very sharp to the touch, sir, don’t keep trying, if you pierce yourself. do."

When Qi Yun heard the words, he remembered that he had brought a gift back today, but the topic just now was really not suitable for sending it out. Now the atmosphere is just right, Qi Yun took out the jade hairpin and said, "It's for you."

Ye Jiao hasn't spent much time thinking about her hair accessories these days, and all the bead hairpins in the box have also known each other. At a glance, she can tell that they are root hairpins.

It's just that Ye Jiao's hand is squeezed into the man's fur coat, she is really unwilling to stretch it out, she just lowered her head slightly and moved in front of Qi Yun: "Help me put it on."

Qi Yun had never worn a hairpin to anyone, but he was unwilling to refuse Ye Jiao, so he could only carefully put the jade hairpin into her hair, for fear of touching her own lady's skin and flesh.

After the hairpin went in, Ye Jiao raised her head again and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?" But before Qi Yun answered, Ye Jiao gave the answer directly, "I wear it naturally, it looks good."

A smile appeared on Qi Yun's face, and he nodded with certainty: "Of course, Jiao Niang was born beautiful, so naturally she looks good in everything she wears."

Ye Jiao was happily coaxed. She likes to praise people and listen to others praise herself.

He happily pulled Qi Yun and continued to stroll around the flower garden with medicinal flowers, cuddling each other, looking at the love from a distance.

By the early morning of the next day, the yard became lively.

Looking at the Chinese New Year, every household is busy when it comes to the Chinese New Year. They have to sweep the house and paste the windows and prepare the banquet to be used at the end of the year. Especially for the tenants like the Qi family, they have to prepare every time. Less, lively energy.

Xiaosu and Tiezi were busy in the yard when it was just getting light. Even if they tried to keep their voices low, they were noisier than usual.

Ye Jiao didn't want to open her eyes, turned around and got into Qi Yun's arms.

Since the last time he found that Qi Yun wouldn't have a fever even if he slept with her, Ye Jiao liked to sleep next to him.

Her body is hot, he is cold, it is very suitable for two people to get together.

The little ginseng yawned, his eyes closed tightly, and his voice mumbled: "Msang Gong, how much more time is it?"

Qi Yun squeezed the corner of the bed for her, and said: "It's three quarters in Mao Shi."

So early.

Normally Ye Jiao wouldn't get up so early in the morning when nothing happened. She still wanted to sleep at this moment, but she quickly opened her eyes as if she had thought of something.

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and patted her: "Sleep more."

But Ye Jiao exhaled, sat up from the quilt, rubbed her eyes and stretched her waist, twisted her body, stretched out her hands and said, "I promised to go out with my mother yesterday. It’s not good."

It's just that before Ye Jiao touched her clothes, she could feel Qi Yun looking at her with special attention.

Previously, when Qi Yun was in poor health, he had insomnia and slept shallowly. He felt tired when he fell asleep. He always had to sleep three poles before getting up. When he woke up, Ye Jiao had already got up early.

Later, after Qi Yun slept peacefully, he woke up earlier than Ye Jiao. Often when Ye Jiao was still dreaming, Qi Yun had already got up and went to study.

To calculate it carefully, it was the two people sharing the bed today that Ye Jiao got up earlier than Qi Yun.

What Ye Jiao didn't notice was that the straps of the bedclothes came loose, revealing the delicate patterns on the tube top, which made Qi Yun's ears dyed scarlet again.

Ye Jiao felt Qi Yun's gaze, but she didn't quite understand what Qi Yun was looking at.

Looking down at herself, and at Qi Yun again, Ye Jiao's soft hand suddenly grabbed Qi Yun's collar and pulled it away with a slight force.

Qi Yun:...

The man looked at Ye Jiao dumbfounded, as if he didn't realize what happened for a while.

Ye Jiao tilted her head slightly, with a pure smile on her face: "Msang Gong, isn't this also pretty white, look at what I do." Then Ye Jiao took Qi Yun's clothes and stuffed them into the quilt. , "Leave it warm inside, it won't be cold when you wear it." After speaking, Ye Jiao wrapped her jacket neatly and stepped over Qi Yun and got out of bed.

Qi Yun didn't recover until Ye Jiao dropped the curtain of the bed.

I just...was praised by the lady?

But how can people not be happy...

When Qi Erlang slowly took off his bedding and was about to change clothes, he suddenly saw that the curtain of the bed was pulled apart again.

The charcoal stove has been lit in the room, and the room is warming up, and I can feel warmth when I open the curtains of the bed.

Probably because Ye Jiao's eyes were too clear, Qi Yun didn't even think of using clothes to block him.

Little Ginseng didn’t mind Qi Yun’s bare arms and reached out to poke him: “Get up and remember to draw my eyebrows for me.” After that, she poked Qi Yun on Qi Yun’s shoulder twice, and said with a smile, "Msang Gong The body is not as thin as before, which is great." Then he went to wash, leaving Qi Yun sitting on the bed in deep thought.

And Qi Yun has been helping Ye Jiao draw eyebrows these days, and the man has also developed a good ability to draw eyebrows with one hand, and the two distant mountain eyebrows are particularly beautiful.

When Ye Jiao met Liu's family, Liu's family looked at her and praised her: "The eyebrows of Jiao Niang are getting better and better."

Ye Jiao was not greedy for merit, and said directly: "It was painted by Xianggong."

As soon as the words came out, not only Liu clan laughed, but Fang clan beside him also laughed.

She looked like she had walked out of the previous thirty shadows, and her eyes were slightly narrowed with a smile on Yuanyuan’s face: “Blessed brother and sister, now your second brother’s body is getting better and better. , This is no better thing."

Ye Jiao blinked, and answered honestly: "Msang Gong is very good to me."

In a word, Liu and Fang looked at each other and smiled.

This smile made Ye Jiao feel a little familiar, as if Dong Shi had always looked at herself and Qi Yun smiling like this...

Today, because of going to the temple, the incense is flourishing, but the children may not be used to the smell, so Fang did not prepare to bring the stones.

There are temples in the town, but the Liu family is sincere. He has always been in a monastery in the mountains. Starting from the Qi family, it takes about an hour to walk through the town.

Instead of riding in the bullock cart this time, they changed their carriage.

The ox cart goes on the country roads is excellent, slow and steady, but the road is mostly big roads, and the carriage is more spacious and faster than the ox cart.

Ye Jiao didn't care what she was sitting on, she was happy as long as she had food and drink.

Liu's family was also generous, with a basket full of hemp balls, but Ye Jiao still ate the food. Even though Fang's eyes were greedy, he touched the soft flesh on his arm, but still did not reach out.

The journey was smooth, but the road was far away, and the sun was already high when I got outside the temple.

Ye Jiao didn't really mind if she would be taken away by the monk, but she knew the truth in her heart, and she would still feel confused when she went outside the temple.

The fingers in the cloak were clenched together, and Ye Jiao followed Liu Shi and Fang Shi, slowly walking forward.

When she was about to cross the threshold, Ye Jiao took a deep breath and kept holding it.

Raise your leg and drop.

The other leg lifted and fell.

After the little ginseng safely crossed the threshold, he found that there was nothing strange in himself, and there was a smile on his face.

It's great to be a man.

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed as a rich and wealthy walked up quickly, smiled before saying a word, and said to the Liu family: "Sanniang, you arrived a little later than in previous years, but you can't be busy with things. ?"

Ye Jiao was immediately surprised to find that her mother-in-law, who had always been gentle and easygoing, suddenly straightened herself up, although she was still smiling, but her smile was a little different from usual.

Ye Jiao couldn't tell the difference, but felt that there was a kind of vitality inexplicably.

Then he heard the Liu family say: "Although there are a lot of things at home, it is good to have two daughter-in-laws to help you." Then, Liu family turned to look at Fang and Ye Jiao.

Ye Jiao looked at Fang subconsciously, and saw Fang smiled and said, "This is the wife's internal affairs." Ye Jiao wanted to follow along.

However, Ye Jiao was too cautious just now, crossing the threshold too slowly, and now they fell a bit, seeing that it didn't look like they came together.

Liu clan motioned Ye Jiao to go slowly with his eyes, don't worry, and then talked to the woman as he walked.

Ye Jiao dragged Xiaosu and asked in a low voice, "Who is that?"

Xiaosu is just a child of a tenant. He only knows a few details about the owner's affairs, and I don't know much about it.

On the contrary, the Fang family seemed to avoid the Liu family and the woman deliberately. He walked a little slower. Hearing what Ye Jiao said, he covered his mouth with a veil with his hand, and also lowered his voice: "That person's name is Zhang. Our mother knew each other when she was young, but she always likes to compare with her mother, every year, we don’t have to mix up, just listen to her.”

Without waiting for Ye Jiao to think about it, Zhang suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "I don't know where your second daughter-in-law is? I heard that she is a peasant child. Why, Sanniang, are you reluctant to take her out?"
