Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The more busy the New Year comes, the whole Qi family is in full swing and begins to pack things and clean the courtyard. Only the guys who are ready to make more money are left in the shop, and everyone else can go home for the New Year. After a holiday, I gave out silver rewards for the New Year.

Zhuangzi was a bit empty, Qi Zhao returned home early to help prepare for the home, and Qi Ming, who also returned home, did not have to go out busy because of his young age.

However, young people who don't have to study hard these days have rarely let go of their temper, either staying in Liu's courtyard or strolling in the back garden, holding paper and pen in their hands, wondering what good poems and sentences they can write.

I look at the flowers today and the grass tomorrow, always wondering what I can write.

Qi Yun asked him why, and Qi Ming answered very honestly.

"I have an appointment with the third son I knew before. We made a promise to figure out new poems when we meet next time. I lost to him the last time I faced the opponent, and this time I can't lose anyway. "

Qi Yun couldn't help but feel helpless, thinking that his third brother really got into the book and couldn't make it out. After finally getting to know a friend, he finally wrote a poetry essay.

It was just that Qi Yun was not curious about who the three sons were, but he was pleased that his third brother finally had friends.

The excitement of the family has not missed the people. The reward for silver is tens of percent more than in previous years. Xiaosu and Tiezi's family also won a lot.

Since the two of them had been following Ye Jiao and Qi Yun, they took a reward from the owner, so they were naturally very happy.

Especially Xiao Su rushed to sew a dress for Tie Zi and embroidered Ye Jiao with a veil. Even the big cock in the nest, Xiao Hei, got a red floral dress.

The little girl took special care of his tail, which was soothing the mood that it had no tail hair, and the sound of the big cock that had covered its bald tail got up early and crowed.

But when everyone was relaxing, Qi Yun did not relax.

His shop will undergo major changes at the beginning of next year, and the wine shop will expand. This is a big business, and it's normal to worry about it.

And Qi Yun also agreed to the director of Yaoyuanzi, and promised that he would give him money in the coming year and expand the Yaoyuanzi.

Although Guanshi Dong is not as shrewd as Guanshi Song, he knew in his heart that Qi Yun was able to agree to him not because of how good the drugstore's business was, but because of his second wife.

His daughter Dong and Ye Jiao had a good relationship, and the second young master took a high look at him.

Regardless of whether Qi Yun really thought so in his heart, Guanshi Dong firmly believed that he was in the light of Ye Jiao.

When Guanshi Dong came over today, he even brought a wild ginseng, specifically for the second grandmother, but he didn't rashly raise the specific requirements for the expansion of the medicine garden with Qi Yun.

It is not easy for the second young master to nod his head. Now he is busy for the wine shop. Guanshi Dong is very winking, and he is ready to mention it together after the holiday.

After Guanshi Dong came out of the study, he happened to see Ye Jiao who was putting paper kites in the garden.

The place where Ye Jiao put the paper kite is in the yard where the plum tree was planted before. Now the snow has been cleaned, and the ground is flat. Ye Jiao is wearing that red cloak and holding the paper kite thread in her hand. It looks beautiful from a distance. Like the person in the picture.

Guan Shi couldn't help sighing in his heart. Everyone said that Ye Jiao was married to the Qi family, but if he had met Ye Jiao, who could say that this is not a rich man?

Ordinary people can't hold up the name of these two young ladies. If Ye Jiao can hold on, it's a blessing in the fate of others.

Ye Jiao didn't notice that anyone was looking at her, she was pulling the thread on her hand, smiling at the paper kite in the sky.

Putting the paper kite sounded like it was just sending this thing up, and it was nothing unusual, but when the paper kite flew up and felt the pull of the string in his hand, it felt very magical.

Pull it and it will fly back again.

You can fly higher if you loose it.

Ye Jiao felt the interesting things inside, and turned his head to Xiao Su and said, "This is a good job, please teach me later."

Xiaosu has been following Ye Jiao, knowing that her second youngest grandmother likes to learn something, and she always learns very seriously.

Whether it was learning to write with Qi Yun before or later with the housekeeper of the Liu family, Ye Jiao can put forth enough effort.

As long as she says she wants to learn, she must learn to do well.

But today's Xiao Su is not the same little girl who was always ignorant before. If she had been ignorant before, Xiao Su would have agreed in one go, but now she would not nod immediately.

After staying with Ye Jiao for a long time, and Mrs. Liu often beat her in private, Xiaosu knew what to say and do.

After listening to Ye Jiao’s words, Xiao Su immediately said: "Second young lady, making paper kites is tiring, and I don’t do it a few times after learning how to do it normally. If you want, tell me, I and Tiezi can naturally make it. If the second youngest grandma likes it, just draw the pattern on the kite by yourself."

Ye Jiao thought for a while, then nodded, Shui Liang's clear eyes looked at the paper kite in the air, and smiled: "Then I will go back and write a few words on it."

Xiao Su felt that Ye Jiao's writing and painting were similar, so he happily agreed, thinking about going back to ask Brother Tiezi if he could make a round paper kite.

This contrasts with the words of the second youngest grandma.

At this time, Guanshi Dong arched his hands outside the garden: "Second young lady, this paper kite is very good."

When Ye Jiao heard the words, she turned her head to look at it, and at a glance she recognized that this was Mr. Dong who had been in the medicine garden before.

Shi Yacao was found in the medicine garden that time. Ye Jiao had a good impression of Guan Dong, so she gave Xiaosu the spool on her hand and asked her to put it on for herself, and then walked over.

These days, Ye Jiao had learned a lot from the Liu family. In addition to the stewardship, the most important thing the Liu family focused on was to tell her how to deal with others.

Ye Jiao was smart, and he learned quickly and remembered clearly. At this moment, I saw Guanshi Dong and smiled softly almost unconsciously. He stopped about five steps away from Guanshi Dong and said, "Guanshi Dong. But came to find the mate?"

Guan Shi smiled, and returned: "I just came out of the Second Young Master, and when I saw the Second Young Master here, I remembered what my daughter had told me, so I came over and prepared to send a message."

Chunlan?

Ye Jiao hadn't seen Dong Clan in these days. Every family had a lot of things in their roots. Ye Jiao didn't have time to go to the drugstore to find her, and she didn't have time to come over.

I asked someone to bring me two pots of medicinal flowers, but I didn't ask a message.

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "How has Chunlan been these days?"

Guan Shi hurriedly said: "Okay, my daughter is a lively temperament and can't stay idle. These days when I am busy in the drugstore, it is hard for me to even see her. The last time I saw her, she told me about it. My grandmother, let me tell you that the auspicious flower grows very well, and two more flowers bloomed a while ago."

In a word, Dong Guan explained in advance the reason why her daughter hadn't come in recent days, and also said her memory of Ye Jiao.

These are true, but how to be better known by others depends on eloquence.

Obviously, Dong Guanshi's eloquence is good.

Ye Jiao was not surprised that the auspicious flower can live. After all, this flower is an aquatic plant and can grow on its own when thrown in the water without much care.

However, listening to the words of Guanshi Dong, it is obvious that the Dong family has been taking care of the auspicious flowers. It counts as life. The little fox has taken care of the children for two months before, and the children will be blessed. If it really works, Dong will not be too far away. .

This is good.

Because it was the New Year, Guanshi Dong said a few more auspicious words to her before leaving.

Little Ginseng went back to fly the kite after he left. When the sun rose, the breeze gradually stopped and the paper kite could not fly high, so she reluctantly took the paper kite back and forth to the yard.

As soon as he walked in, Ye Jiao saw Qi Yun who was waiting for him to eat.

When the man saw her back, he smiled and waved at Ye Jiao: "Let's use the rice, stew the chicken soup, drink some to dispel the cold."

Ye Jiao immediately untied her cloak, washed her hands, and sat next to Qi Yun happily.

Normally, when a family eats together at night, most of them will sit farther away, but the last time Ye Jiao saw the Liu family and Qi's father having a meal, they sat face to face.

But Ye Jiao didn't like it.

Ye Jiao and Liu's learned a lot, but as soon as she entered the house, she couldn't handle it.

Sitting directly next to Qi Yun, he handed the bowl to Qi Yun, and Qi Yun naturally took the bowl and gave her soup.

Ye Jiao stared blankly, and said in her mouth: "I don't want mushrooms, I want meat."

Qi Yun immediately filled her with a chicken thigh and hot soup, and put the full bowl in front of Ye Jiao.

This chicken soup has been simmered all morning, the chicken has been simmered very soft, and can be torn off with the tip of chopsticks.

In front of Ye Jiao, there was a dish of dipping sauce. Dip it with Bai Shengsheng's chicken. After eating it, it was full of fragrance.

The little ginseng took another mouthful of the warm soup and exhaled gently.

After taking another bite of chicken, Ye Jiao seemed to think of something and asked, "Msang Gong, you won't stew Xiao Hei?"

Qi Yun halted with the tip of his chopsticks, looked at Ye Jiao, and said gently, "Are you afraid I might stew it?"

"Not really, it's just that Xiao Su just sewed the clothes for it." Ye Jiao said, taking another sip of chicken soup.

It smells so good.

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still counting on it to work hard to grow all the hair on its tail."

Ye Jiao also curled her mouth, "Yes, it looks good when it's not bald."

Qi Yun wanted to tell her that it was because Ye Jiao's shuttlecock had been kicked for a long time, and the feathers on it had already fallen off. He planned to wait for Xiao Hei to grow his hair again before plucking a few.

But after looking at Ye Jiao, Qi Yun swallowed his thoughts back.

He put another chopsticks into Ye Jiao's sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, Qi Yun said: "It's a lot cold these days, it's good to drink some chicken soup to make up."

Ye Jiao blinked and nodded with a smile.

In fact, Xiao Ginseng feels that these things add up to nothing.

But the chicken soup is so delicious, the chicken is so delicious, of course you have to eat it!

Qi Yun also served himself a bowl of soup, and the two of them could talk while eating.

Silence is used outside, and living behind closed doors is really deserted without saying a word.

Qi Yun had had enough deserted days before, and now he was a man with a lady, so naturally he had to say something, and no one could hold him.

When he had almost eaten, Qi Yun remembered something: "I am here today, Mr. Dong, and brought something."

What he said was the wild ginseng sent by Guanshi Dong.

The quality of this mountain ginseng is very good, otherwise Guan Shi wouldn't get it and sent it to Qi Yun eagerly.

Qi Yun knew that he wanted to please himself, and instead of rejecting it, he accepted it.

As for why Guanshi Dong came here at this time, I am afraid that besides the expansion of the medicine garden next year, Guanshi Dong wants to see with his own eyes whether Qi Yun is still healthy.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun lowered his eyes slightly.

Last time, Liu's arm was injured because of misunderstanding Qi Ming, so he hurriedly called for the doctor. The person who was sent was also in a hurry, yelling that it was the young master who was injured, but did not say which young master was.

Li Langzhong was used to taking care of Qi Yun's body. Outsiders saw him and only said that Qi Yun was sick again.

This is nothing new. After all, Qi Yun has been drinking medicine as water over the years, especially in winter, and every Chinese New Year has to make trouble. His family is used to it, and outsiders should not be surprised.

But this time I don’t know who made the news big, from "the second young master of the Qi family is sick again" to "the second young master of the Qi family is dying"...

The transmission is vivid, as if seeing it in person.

Although Qi Yun has not gone out, and others have kept his secrets from him, Qi Yun naturally has his own channels for listening.

He didn't want to clarify, and he didn't bother to care about it, but he didn't expect to scare the stewards under his hands.

Today, seeing Guanshi Dong and accepting things was a relief to him.

But Qi Yun never liked to talk about these outside things to cause Ye Jiao to worry, so he smiled and said, "Guanshi Dong sent a wild ginseng with a very good quality. Let's find some time to stew it for you. "

Qi Yun was kind, but after hearing this, Ye Jiao choked on her throat with a mouthful of chicken soup. He couldn't get up and down, and coughed a few times!

The man was startled, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks to give her comfort.

Ye Jiao covered her mouth with her veil and leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder, her eyes a little blank.

Stewed ginseng for me...

I eat myself?

Ye Jiao suddenly felt a little confused, and grabbed Qi Yun's wrist and said, "I don't drink ginseng soup, and you don't have to drink that."

She didn't eat it because it wasn't necessary. She didn't let Qi Yun eat it. Ye Jiao felt that even the best ginseng could compare with the nourishment of ginseng for thousands of years?

My grandfather has me, so what other ginseng are you looking for!

And listen to the name, wild ginseng...it is not a good ginseng!

Ye Jiao knew that she was idle, but she still insisted.

Qi Yun didn't ask Ye Jiao about the reason. In Qi Yun's mind, she just didn't do what she didn't like, and immediately replied: "Okay, I put it away."

Ye Jiao looked up at him, blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to drink?"

Qi Yun smiled: "It's not...well."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jiao straightened up slightly, put her hand on his chest, raised her face, and accurately bit Qi Yun's mouth.

The soft tip of his tongue swept across the man's teeth, and Qi Yun could vaguely taste the faint osmanthus smell in the woman's mouth.

But before he could react, Ye Jiao let go of him.

The little ginseng sat upright, picked up the chopsticks again, and said to him with a smile: "Okay, you have drunk it," as if to emphasize, she added, "No other ginseng soup is allowed in the future."

Qi Yun held the chopsticks and stared at Ye Jiao for a long time, but he didn't think about why Ye Jiao kissed herself.

But Qi Erlang quickly became relieved and decided to save the wild mountain.

It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not. After all, the comparable ginseng soup tasted by my own Jiao Niang is much better.
