Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

When the back hall of the Qi family was already in a crowd, the three Qi family brothers were not in the front hall, but went for a stroll in the back garden.

It is now a good time for winter to spring. Although I will feel the chill in the morning and evening, I feel warm when the sun is shining at noon.

Seeing that the sky was good, and Qi Yun was now able to move around freely, Da Lang Qi Zhao looked at the banquet and almost took his two younger brothers to the yard, thinking about waiting for a while and counting the time to go back.

When this came out of the front hall, Qi Ming seemed much more relaxed.

In fact, for Qijia Saburo, the first name in the county exam is not a title to show off.

He sees and hears a lot in the academy. In this small three yuan, there are counties of the county's leading examiners.

The more difficult it goes up, the county exam is a threshold.

Although it is a happy event that he can take the first place at a young age, for Qi Ming, his scientific research road is only the beginning now, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

It is obviously not Qi Ming's intention to celebrate for a threshold exam.

However, when he looked at his parents, he valued the results this time, and Qi Ming could also see that most of the people who came were not rushing to him, but to have a visit from the beginning and to have a relationship with his family. The point is His daddy also had two older brothers, so he didn't say anything, and let his parents celebrate.

But when the banquet was held, everyone who came to praise him was that there was nothing in the sky, but most of them were merchants. This boasting word was called a smooth, one set of sets, and only Qi Ming described it as like It was as if Wenquxing descended from the world, and Qi Ming blushed with praise.

Now that she was hiding and clean, Qi Ming was comfortable.

And his series of changes were seen by the two brothers.

Qi Zhao has a straight-forward temper, but after spending so many years with his brother, he knows a little bit about Saburo's temper.

Just when he saw Qi Ming's face turned red, he couldn't wait to see him, so he took them out for a walk.

Seeing Qi Ming's refreshed look now, Qi Zhao couldn't help but throw a look at Qi Yun.

Qi Yun nodded cooperatively, but said nothing.

Several people tacitly did not mention the results of Saburo's county test, but Qi Zhao took the lead: "Now that the sky is going to warm up, wait until March, can we go out to see the flowers together?"

Although the Qi family is a wealthy family, ordinary people would go out for outing in the spring, but the Qi family, who has a large family, has never been so lucky.

In previous years, either because Qi Yun was in poor health, or because he had not returned from school, he was always unable to make a career.

Now that Qi Zhao mentioned the old things again, he was also happy in his heart.

The second younger brother has improved a lot, and the third younger brother has also made achievements in his studies. As the eldest brother, he has been beautiful in his heart since the Chinese New Year, thinking that he should go out and have fun this year.

Qi Ming opened his mouth and didn't say a word, but Qi Yun understood with his heart: "The plan for outing may be delayed. The next examination of the third brother should be in April. After a while, he will go to the new school first. Go to school."

Qi Minglian nodded, showing some pity on his face.

Qi Zhao has a good mentality: "Sorry Saburo, I didn't write down your exam time, but it will happen in May when you finish the exam, which is also a good time."

Qi Ming also smiled and readily agreed.

Qi Yun talked about his own business: "Brother, the wine shop is now booming, but if you want to open to the city, I am afraid that the wine will not be available. I don't know if I can connect with the elder brother's village. , Use our own food to make wine?"

As soon as this suggestion came out, Qi Zhao knew that the second brother had promised himself a benefit.

Except for the part of the grain on Zhuangzi to be handed over to the court, the rest is hoarded or sold out.

There is a lot of profit in this, but not much.

But if it can be linked to winemaking, even if it is just to provide raw materials, for Zhuangzi, the profit will be doubled.

Qi Zhao had never thought about this before. Even if he knew the inside story, he never mentioned it, just because he didn't want to interfere with his second brother's business and didn't want his wife to know.

He knew Fang's temper the best, he was easy to talk if he was not stained with silver, but his head became hot when he touched the silver, and his words and actions would be very different in the weekdays.

Qi Zhao can take care of the usual trivial matters, and Fang's sometimes willful, but he still listens to him.

But if she knows the advantages of the second brother's business, she is afraid that her head will get hot again.

But now Qi Yun took the initiative to mention that there must be a charter, Qi Zhao only asked: "Can I get the account?" Everything is placed on the table, and it will save the possibility of future doubts.

Qi Yun curled up his mouth and nodded: "Of course."

So, the two brothers had a pair of eyes, and they had ideas for each other.

Although Qi Ming didn't understand the business field, he still wanted to make a contribution to his brothers. He rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother and second brother, the younger brother has no great skills, just an idea."

"Saburo, let's talk about it." Qi Zhao has always treated Qi Ming with great affection, and when he saw his little brother, his smile became gentle.

Qi Ming touched his face and sorted out the language before he said: "Nowadays selling wine and selling wine, in addition to the taste of the wine, it also has a source. Before, our Yuye wine sold well because of The quality is good, but there is no such source."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun raised his eyebrows.

As far as Qi Erlang is concerned, business is profiting, and he didn't think about it carefully. Now Qi Ming mentioned that Qi Yun is a very smart person. Saburo is just the beginning. Qi Yun thought of the result: "It looks like it's time to make up a story for our wine."

Qi Ming also meant the same, his eyes rolled: "There are hundreds of poems about Li Taibai fighting wine in ancient times. Why not find one sentence from Taibai's poem?"

Qi Yun thought this was a good idea. He remembered it in his heart, and said: "When the time comes, ask someone who can write well to give a name, and it will be natural."

When he spoke, Qi Ming blushed.

He reads many books, and his knowledge is not low. The articles he writes are also in the beautiful flower group. The master of the college often said that the articles he wrote are not bad even if they are sent to the palace examination.

It's just that this handwriting really cannot be taken out.

Qi Yun had told him to practice before, and he insisted on studying a hundred characters every day, but it was hard to say progress.

But when it comes to people who can write well, Qi Ming is still selected: "Second brother, among the people I know, the characters of San Gongzi are the best. I have talked with him about poetry and essays. San Gongzi is considered to be the best in his mind. If you can find his calligraphy, it would be the best if you can find his calligraphy."

Qi Zhao didn't know anything about the things these literati did, and didn't comment on it. He just heard Qi Ming talk about San Gongzi a little curious: "Who is that?"

Qi Ming said with a smile: "He is a righteous brother who once saved my life. He is the master of the strong man I mentioned to you last time."

Brother Yi?

This word made Qi Yun stunned for a moment: "San Lang, you never said that you worshiped your brother with those three sons."

Qi Ming scratched his head: "It's also the most recent thing. The county exam is not far from the pharmacy at San Gongzi's home. After the exam, I was a little weak. Thanks to his care, I can go to his home to rest for a while and regain my spirit. He talked about the topic of the county exam, and I coincided with his opinion. I also called a brother on impulse, and never worshipped the handle."

Among ordinary literati, there are quite a few who call each other a foolish brother and virtuous brother, but there are not many who really get righteous.

After all, literati are indifferent, and the future of these imperial examination students is often heaven and earth.

Once the title of the gold list is Feihuang Tengda, if the name is lost, then no one knows it. If it is made, it will be risky.

But what Qi Yun was worried about was not these, but the identity of the third son.

Up to now, the little brother doesn’t even know the surname or first name of his family, and worships his brother stupidly. How can this be done...

As I was thinking, I suddenly saw someone running into the garden.

It was Mrs. Liu who came here. Mrs. Liu looked around in the front hall. Knowing that the three brothers had arrived at the back, she ran back to look for them. Everyone's yard was turned around before she found someone in the garden.

Granny Liu is not young anymore. After turning back and forth and feeling anxious, she is already sweating on her forehead and dizzy in front of her eyes. When she saw them, she breathed a sigh of relief, holding on to the rockery, and said intermittently, "Yes. ...I can find some young masters. Call... Second Young Master, go and take a look in the hall."

Qi Yun immediately became nervous when she asked her by name, "Mother Liu, what's wrong with me? But what happened to Jiao Niang?"

Granny Liu was out of breath, and nodded after hearing the words: "Yes, big event, big happy event..."

However, Qi Yun couldn't wait to hear her finish. He didn't even hear the two words of happy event. Gu could not say goodbye to Qi Yun and Qiming. His face changed drastically, and he strode towards the hall.

Granny Liu knew that he had misunderstood, and wanted to chase and explain.

But Qi Yun's body is much better now, and his wife is nervous, she ran up as she walked, and finally hurried into the hall almost all the way.

But as soon as I entered, I didn't see any tension in it, but it was beautiful.

Dong cried and laughed while pulling Meng clan and Ye Jiao, while Ye Jiao had a soft attitude. One of his hand was dragged by Dong clan, and the other hand held chopsticks into his mouth to eat and eat. Move the two without delay.

The Liu clan took the Fang clan and got up, responding to the auspicious words the ladies said, with a sincere smile on his face.

And the Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had come here to make trouble and their face was swollen, they had already stolen away, for fear of making a joke again.

Li Langzhong was standing aside with a smile. In front of him was Xiaosu. He was saying something to Xiaosu one by one. Xiaosu nodded when he heard a sentence, indicating that he had remembered it, and he was very attentive.

When Qi Yun entered the door, Xiao Su's eyes were sharp. After seeing him, he saluted Li Langzhong first, and then ran over and said: "Second Young Master, you are here, the Second Young Grandma is inside."

Tiezi looked at her and knew it was not a bad thing, but Tiezi couldn't think of what it was for.

After all, he's a half-and-a-half boy and doesn't think much about it.

If it was normal, Qi Yun would definitely be able to see Xiao Su’s joy at the moment. Piansheng is now full of worries about his wife. He didn’t even look at Xiaosu, or even see anyone else. Ye Jiao was the only one in his eyes, and everyone seemed to be a piece of it. nothingness.

Walking over quickly, Qi Yun stood behind Ye Jiao, and when he saw him coming, Meng clan pulled Dong clan. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, stood up and sat next to them, making room for them.

Ye Jiao was ignorant, feeling that Dong's hand was loosened, and she was going to serve the tea cup.

And when she was hugged from behind, Ye Jiao was holding a mouthful of shrimp cakes in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, thinking that the shrimp cakes are delicious, who knows that she will be caught in the next moment. .

Ye Jiao is very familiar with Qi Yun, familiar with the temperature of this person's embrace, familiar with the rhythm of this person's breathing, and familiar with the smell of herbs on this person.

I didn't look back, I knew it was my father-in-law, but the little ginseng could feel his hand trembling, and he could hear Qi Yun's voice: "Li Langzhong, what did you do in there? What happened to Jiao Niang!"

As soon as he said this, many people looked over.

Then, he covered his lips and smiled unconsciously.

Qi Jia Erlang's handsome appearance has been spread since the last time the medicine was opened. After sweeping away his reputation for being fierce and evil, he has long become a handsome man among the population.

Look now, the rumors are true.

But more true than the rumors, it was the closeness of their husband and wife.

Look at this nervous person, I really want to envy others.

The female relatives at the scene all thought about their husbands, and they thought that they would also have to tell them when they went back, let them learn from Qi Erlang, the fallen Cai family, and I want to find them at home. A young man came in, and his family business was depressed in the end.

The Liu family saw that Qi Yun still didn't know what was going on. He covered his smile, got up, and said to Qi Yun, "You can be gentle, now Jiao Niang is not better than usual, she is a two-body person. , Don't always scare her, let the Jiao Niang eat this bite without any delay."

Ye Jiao was leaning against Qi Yun's arms, looking at Liu's eagerly, and then at the shrimp cake that she had bitten in half, reluctantly.

On the other hand, Qi Yun grasped the key point and was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Liu's and then at Ye Jiao who was being held by him: "Twin bodies? Jiao Niang, are you there?"

Li Langzhong also said at the right time: "Congratulations to the second young master, the second young grandmother is a happy pulse. It's more than two months."

Ye Jiao finally swallowed what was in her mouth, and nodded when she heard the words, but she didn't think this was a great event.

He is different from the Dong family. The Dong family has been hurt before and the children are difficult. Now it is naturally inexplicable to have a child.

But Ye Jiao knew that she had always been healthy, and it was not unusual to have a baby.

In addition, the auspicious flowers have been kept in the house for so long, and the fluffy ball of the little fox before can be made into a doll by the auspicious flowers, and he has quite normal.

But this incident shocked Qi Yun.

Before the round room, he only put red dates and longans, but not lotus seeds and peanuts, because he did not have extravagant hopes for the fate of his children.

It is an extra blessing to be able to have a Jiao Niang as his wife, besides, what can I ask for in his body?

But now that the child is here, Qi Yun is a little dizzy for a while.

After just this run, coupled with the anxiety, Qi Yun's body was empty, and it was inevitable that he felt black in front of him in his shock and joy.

But this time, Qi Yun's reason told him that he could not fall down and faint.

This is a good thing, and seeing so many people around him, he can't worry his wife.

So, he helped Ye Jiao, and his body that was going to be swayed back actually stood up straight back.

Others might not be able to see clearly at this moment, but Ye Jiao could see clearly.

Especially when this person loosened himself first, then hugged himself, the little ginseng found a clue between this loose and tight.

She immediately stood up, lost her chopsticks, ignored the shrimp cakes, and said softly to Qi Yun: "Msang Gong, I am a little tired."

Liu immediately said: "Tired? Then hurry up, go back and rest, Erlang, take Jiao Niang home, don't bump."

Ye Jiao responded, seemingly asking Qi Yun to support herself, but in fact she was secretly supporting Qi Yun, and when she left the door, she greeted Xiaosu and Tiezi to come and help.

But Liu watched them leave, with some tears in his eyes besides a smile.

It's not that she begged her grandson eagerly. On the contrary, the Liu family has never asked, dare not ask, and can't ask.

All she asked for was the health of her son, nothing more.

But now that the blessing has arrived, the Liu family is also full of joy.

But the Liu family is calm in the end, covering the corners of his eyes with a veil, and smiling gentle when he looks at the guests, and others are happy to congratulate the Qi family for double happiness, and the hall is full of excitement.

After Ye Jiao helped Qi Yun and waited back to the yard, Qi Yun sat on the soft couch, the man's head still a little dizzy.

In fact, this kind of feeling hasn't passed for a long time, his body is getting better, and he has no problem of being weak and dizzy at every turn.

But this time is different from before.

It used to be the sorrow of frailty, but now it is the joy of the new life.

Ye Jiao asked Xiaosu and Tiezi to go out first, while she gently held Qi Yun's hand, and Xiao Renshen used her own way to help her father-in-law.

Seeing Qi Yun's complexion gradually as usual, he stood up and said, "It's also time, I'll bring you the medicine."

Qi Yun has been drinking the medicine, one bowl a day, and he never stops.

But as soon as she let go, she felt that she was being held back by this person.

Looking back with some doubts, he saw the man sitting on the soft couch with his head up and looking at her.

Ye Jiao seldom looks at a man's face from this angle. At this moment, the afternoon spring is just right, softly passing through the window lattice, reflecting on him, warm and soft.

And Qi Yun gently tugged her hand: "Jiao Niang."

Ye Jiao just yelled, but didn't say what to do, Ye Jiao didn't leave, turned around and stood in front of him.

Qi Yun gently wrapped around the woman's slender waist, leaning on her soft abdomen with his face sideways, and whispered, "My daughter."

Ye Jiao also replied softly: "Yeah."

"Drink the medicine later." Qi Yun's voice was quiet.

Ye Jiao put her hand on the man's neck and replied softly: "If you want to drink, you must drink, you promised me."

Qi Yun exhaled, "Jiao Niang, you are my elixir."

This is what he said sincerely and honestly.

The Jiao Niang gave it to him who had begged or not.

The ordinary medicine heals the body, but his sweetheart heals the heart.

Ye Jiao blinked and hugged Qi Yun a little tighter: "No, I am your medicine." Anyway, I used to give my grandfather like this to make up for himself, and now I can hug him.

While still warm, Xiaosu knocked on the window carefully: "Second Young Master, Second Young Grandma, Ye Family Young Master is here."

Ye Pingrong?

Qi Yun's mood has stabilized a lot at this moment. Hearing the words, he took a deep breath, slightly loosened Ye Jiao, stood up, and said, "Your brother should be here to congratulate you. Go and meet." It just came a little faster.

Ye Jiao blinked, did not answer immediately, just insisted: "You drink the medicine first."

Qi Yun knew that she was worried about herself, and nodded: "I drink, but don't take it. I'm going to the front hall. When the time comes, I drink it myself."

He is going to be a father, this is also a happy event, he should go out for a spin.

Ye Jiao held his wrist and nodded when she was sure that this person was really fine.

However, before Qi Yun left, he stopped at the door and pointed to his face.

Ye Jiao was puzzled at first, and then remembered what Qi Yun had taught him before, and obediently kissed the man on his face.

This scene was seen by Ye Pingrong who was coming into the courtyard.

With a smile in his eyes, thinking about their husband and wife and their beauty, but did not say anything, he walked into the courtyard after Qi Yun left.

When Ye Jiao saw him, she smiled: "Big Brother."

Ye Pingrong deliberately asked, "What did you do just now?"

I thought I would be amused by my little girl, who knows, Ye Jiao's face is as usual, and her voice is crisp: "Miangong said, after getting married, if you want to say goodbye, you will do that."

Ye Pingrong:...
