Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

After returning from the Meng's medicine store, San Gongzi and his party went to the fief.

It's just that he went to the fief this time with great fanfare, and was not as cautious as before.

Princess Hua Ning brought the emperor's will, and the queen mother was still waiting for him in Chu Chengyun's fief. In addition, Chu Chengyun also had the emperor's people secretly protecting him, and others couldn't even hate him.

There are also many people who wait and see who are also murmuring, wondering whether the old emperor gave him asylum because of family affection or because of Jane's heart.

Suddenly, Chu Chengyun became the most popular figure.

Although he was not in the capital, the nobles in the capital were worried.

Chu Chengyun also thought clearly. Now that he has discarded his previous kinship and decided to fight, he would simply be ostentatious, instead, he would be able to protect himself.

Always act low-key, even if you die, no one knows, that's really miserable.

Chu Chengyun swaggered to the fief and also took away the people around him. As a member of the Duan Palace, Ye Pingrong naturally wanted to follow.

When he arrived at the place, he and his younger sister only exchanged letters.

Every time he wrote back, Ye Jiao insisted on writing a letter in person. Her eldest brothers both loved her and thought she was good at everything. Even the chubby words could praise her beauty and uniqueness. She said that others could not imitate it, so Ye Jiao was happy to do it herself Write to him.

And autumn often passes very quickly, and before long, it will be time for the New Year.

Compared with last year, the Qi family's life this year is getting better.

Qi Zhao’s Zhuangzi tripled his income due to the contact with Qi Yun’s wine shop, which may not be as prosperous as Qi Yun’s shop, but Qi Zhao was also very satisfied, except for the one he gave to his family. With a lot of money, Fang walks with wind.

Qi Yun didn't need to say that although he had smashed a lot of money on the caravan, he could always make up for the empty silver box. The wine shop's income was like running water, and the drug shop was gradually becoming famous.

In addition, after Chu Chengyun left, the Meng's drugstore in the city was also unavailable, so he sold it to Qi Yun at a low price. Qi Erlang quietly changed a plaque and opened the shop. The city.

The two brothers of the Qi family have a better day, but there are a lot of things in the third brother Qiming Academy. Looking at the next year, Qi Ming will not be able to come back early for the Chinese New Year. Maybe he will be able to get underground. Come back.

Liu's thoughts were tight, but he didn't dare to urge, so he could only chant the Buddha every day and pray for the Bodhisattva's blessing.

However, the time is getting tighter on New Year’s Eve, so the Liu family has no choice but to not recite the scriptures during the day. He wants to talk about the affairs of Luo’s family and the situation is better. Look, the owner's life is better, they will be better.

Fang Clan and Ye Jiao were also busier than before. They went to Liu Clan’s yard in the morning to be busy with Zhang Luo, and in the afternoon they would return to their own yard to take care of them. Such a nervous back and forth can be regarded as a New Year’s atmosphere.

But today, Ye Jiao came back early. Xiaosu also carried a big baggage and followed. As soon as he walked in, Ye Jiao said: "Okay, put things away, Xiaosu, you can rest for a while. Go to my mother to calculate the accounts."

Xiao Su responded, put the big baggage on the table, and ran away, before leaving, he carefully closed the door to prevent the cold wind from entering.

Ye Jiao took the soft cloth on the wall table next to her, and tightly closed the door gap to prevent a trace of cold air from entering.

And behind the desk, Qi Yun moved Xubao's cradle to his hand, and shook it while reading the account book. At this moment, watching Ye Jiao carefully, Qi Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "You don’t need to be so careful. It doesn't matter if you have a papery body like before."

Who knows, Ye Jiao seemed to be taken aback, the rabbit generally jumped up and looked back at him, his eyes widened: "Why are you coming back so early, Xiang Gong?"

Qi Yun was also taken aback by her, settled down, put the pen down, and said, "Early when things are over today, everyone in the family will hang lanterns close to the Spring Festival couplets. They are busy chattering around and making noises. Things couldn't calm down, so I came back."

Ye Jiao nodded when she heard the words, and her voice returned to her usual softness: "That's right, it's busy outside today. It's okay for your father to come back earlier. I thought Liu Ma was taking care of Xu Bao in the house."

"I'll let Mother Liu go back..." The voice suddenly stopped, and Qi Yun's eyes subconsciously looked at the little fat man in the cradle.

Co-author, just now, my own sweet girl carefully shut the door to block the cold wind, not for me, but for him?

It's clear that the girl was only holding me tightly.

There was a sudden inexplicable jealousy in his heart, Qi Yun slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Bao.

The chubby child was chewing his hands, and when he saw his father look over, he gave a brilliant smile. The "chuckle" laughter made Qi Yun unable to be angry with him.

Ye Jiao was in the past. He picked Xu Bao from the cradle and patted it in his arms. He looked at Qi Yun with some disapproval: "Msang Gong, your body is much better now, but you have to be careful. Yes, Li Langzhong said that you have to raise it slowly. You can't stand any wind. You have to take the stove and wear the fur clothes. Do you know?"

Qi Yun curled his lips and nodded, "I know."

In fact, there are a lot of fur garments. In order to please him, the shopkeeper of his shop often gave away things, and there was a beautiful purple fur in it.

But no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the sweetheart's feelings for her. Qi Yun, that black fur coat, has always been an exceptional treasure, and naturally will not let go.

Ye Jiao hugged Hong Xubao and put him in the cradle again.

Xu Bao didn't make any noise, so he laughed and played with the ears hanging on the cradle.

The tassel is not the kind that is usually punched out, but is tied up with black feathers. It is very light, tightly tied, and does not shed hair easily.

As for the feathers naturally provided by Xiao Hei, that chicken is also surprising. The hair is not bald at all. It grows after plucking, and it is inexhaustible. Moreover, the hair color is excellent and it is not easy to shed hair. Washed up neatly and tied up to coax Xu Bao.

Xu Bao is now fat and short, and he can only pull it a little bit hard enough, and he can't catch it, but he will be happy when he sees a dangling one, he will laugh at the sky, and he and himself can play for a long time.

Seeing that he was having fun by himself, Ye Jiao smiled and touched his little face, and then touched the tiger-head hat on his head, feeling the tiger-head hat tightly, and couldn't help but say: "This hat It looks like it’s going to be small. When the older brother bought it, he still bought it in a big circle."

Hearing the words, Qi Yun went to look at it, and touched his son's forehead: "Children, there are some who grow fast."

Ye Jiao said "Oh", thinking that human cubs are different from small animals. They have long bodies and long heads.

But Qi Yun sighed in his heart.

People say that the head is big and clever, and the head of his own child is indeed a bit bigger than the others.

Jiaojiao wanted to call him big head, it was not nonsense.

Fortunately, I didn't scream, otherwise, the more I yelled, the bigger it would be.

Ye Jiao didn't know what Qi Yun was thinking, and touched Xu Bao's face again, and then went to the table and opened the bag.

Inside, there are a few new clothes.

Qi Yun originally wanted to pick up a pen and then read the accounts, but when he saw Ye Jiao was going to try on the clothes, he immediately picked up the pen, stood up slowly, picked Xu Bao's cradle in both hands, and led him into the interior room.

Seeing them coming in, Ye Jiao couldn't help but said, "Don't look at the accounts?"

Qi Yun first put Xubao's basket on the couch, and placed two cradles with square pillows on both sides of the basket. Then he said to Ye Jiao: "Why don't you do it, it's over."

Ye Jiao didn't even suspect him. He took the clothes and went to the back of the screen. While changing the clothes, he said, "These clothes were measured by the tailor a month ago. I'm just afraid that her stature will change. Now, I tried a few of them first, and let her measure them if there are any bigger or smaller ones."

Qi Yun handed his finger to Xu Bao for him to hold and play, while his eyes were looking at the screen, and he looked as if he was serious: "That's good, save a trip."

Qi Yun didn't say what was going on, only looking at the tube top strap that Ye Jiao hung on the screen dangling back and forth.

Shaking left, shaking right, shaking people's eyes.

Ye Jiao continued comfortably: "Just now, my eldest brother handed in a letter again, saying that after the prince Duan was not going to conceal his identity, he also changed his official uniform, got an errand, changed his name, what is his name... Yes, Captain Zhaowu."

Qi Yun reads a lot of books. Even if he has never taken an imperial examination, he can still remember the names and positions of officials in this officialdom.

Captain Zhaowu is a six-rank errand, although it is only two levels higher than Tiju’s seventh-rank, but it is a real errand. He can manage people under his hand, and he can have honors when he goes out. Ordinary people will also be called generals when they meet. of.

However, since he is still working under King Duan, his future honor and disgrace will be related to King Duan, but it is better to have real power than not.

But before Ye Pingrong said anything, he heard Ye Jiao yell.

He sat up straight and wanted to see, but just got up and sat down again.

With a light cough, Qi Yun asked: "Jiao Niang, what's the matter?"

"It seems to be small... but I can't see it behind."

Qi Yun looked to the sides unconsciously, and asked, "Can I help you?"

"Yes, come and have a look, Xiang Gong."

Qi Yun tilted his head to look at Xu Bao, who was tired of playing and slept, and took a sigh of relief before he got up and walked slowly behind the screen.

The charcoal bowl in the house is burning hot, even if you only wear a single coat, you will not feel cold.

At this moment, Ye Jiao was only wearing a long skirt, but her shoulders were stretched away, and she was reaching out to reach back.

Seeing Qi Yun coming over, he took his hand and leaned back: "I can't touch the belt behind it, Xiang Gong, please help me tight."

Qi Yun lowered his head and saw the bright white arms, and there was an emerald green string on his neck, which hung there embarrassingly.

A glance made Qi Yun red in his ears.

But he still calmed his face, stretched out his hand to squeeze the strap, and tightened it slightly: "So?"

"No, relax more."

"Oh, what about this?"

"It's better, but still tight." Ye Jiao turned to show him, "Is it wrapped up?"

Yes, it was wrapped, but seeing the emerald green tube top and a piece of snow so directly still made Qi Yun a little unbearable.

He hurriedly let go, trying to focus his eyes on Ye Jiao's face, his voice was a little dumb: "Well, I see it is indeed tight."

Ye Jiao nodded when she heard the words, "Well, I will just go and do it again in a few days. This is not appropriate."

It's a pity that the man can't hear what she said, he just looks at the sky, the ground, and the screen, but doesn't look at her.

After that, Ye Jiao refused to let Qi Yun go out. She twisted her back to him, untied the straps and relaxed herself a little bit. Then she said: "The eldest brother also said in the letter that he and the prince have taken leave and come to our house for the New Year. , By the way, go to the academy to pick up Saburo too."

Qi Yun responded in a low voice.

Ye Jiao stretched out his hand again to get his clothes, and continued: "Msang Gong, there will be no need to send a carriage to the house when the time comes. Big Brother will surely protect him back...Mang Gong?"

Before she finished her words, Qi Yun held her waist from behind.

The woman’s waist was slender and her body was warm. Qi Yun hugged her in his arms, lowered his head, put his chin on the woman’s neck, and whispered, “I’ll talk about their affairs later, sweet lady, when It’s still early, why don’t we do something else?"

Ye Jiao blinked, her eyes were clear, and she turned her head to look at him: "Do you want to study the book again?"

"Ok."

"Where is Xu Bao?"

"Xu Bao is asleep, let's keep it quiet so that it won't bother him."

Ye Jiao thought for a while, but didn't respond directly. Instead, she gathered up her clothes, pushed him aside, and pulled out the screen.

Qi Yun, who was suddenly pushed aside by his own wife, didn't slow down for a while, and froze there.

The next moment, Ye Jiao stretched out her hand, grabbed his wrist and pulled him out.

Perhaps Qi Yun was a little at a loss for a while, so he followed Ye Jiao out, and then he was pushed by his wife.

When he stumbled on the footstool under the bed, he sat directly on the bed, and then saw Ye Jiao holding his shoulders down. He was accidentally lying flat, and when he didn't react, Ye Jiao was already lying down. On him.

Qi Yun, who was just still depressed and rejected by the lady, couldn't react for a while, and his voice was a little stunned: "Jiao, Jiao..."

Before she finished shouting, she saw Ye Jiao covering his mouth and staring at him with Shui Liang's eyes: "You are not allowed to call me like that."

Qi Yun looked at her, stretched out her hand and lowered her wrist, and asked: "My daughter, what did you...what did you do?"

Ye Jiao looked back at the cradle on the soft couch. She lowered her voice: "I can't see Xu Bao behind the screen, I don't worry."

Xu Bao hasn't been able to sit for less than four months now, but he has a lot of energy to turn over, and Ye Jiao naturally wants to put it where he can see it.

Qi Yun actually wanted to ask her why she pressed herself here.

But soon, Qi Yun couldn't think of asking.

Turning over, he gathered his wife and loosened her bun gently, and heard Ye Jiao whisper in his ear: "You promise me, keep silent, don't wake Xu Bao, otherwise he won't sleep enough. It's going to be troublesome."

Qi Yun touched her long hair like satin, and also softened her voice: "Don't worry, if you don't make a sound, I won't make a sound." He didn't want to wake Xu Bao better than Ye Jiao.

After a while.

"Xiangong, you lie, you can't speak out..."

"It's because the bed isn't strong, it makes a noise when it swings a little, I can't help it."

"If Xu Bao wakes up, I will blame you."

"Well, blame me, blame me."

"Then move, slow down."

"……it is good."

On the second day, Qi Erlang asked someone to re-strengthen the bed frame and did not attract anyone's attention.

After a few more days, it was the day when Ye Pingrong's letter said that he would send Qi Ming back.
