Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Chinese New Year is often much busier than usual.

The Qi family is a wealthy family nearby. There are many managers and shopkeepers. They usually have their own owners. But when the New Year comes, these people will bring some things to come to visit each other, and the female relatives will also walk around each other. .

Because of the simplicity of the Qi family, there is no clan behind them, and ordinary and distant relatives do not move around, so the Liu family does not go out very much.

The communication between women is different from that of men. Even when men get together in their leisure time, they are also ambassadors on hand. Only the best friends can talk about favors, and their ladies can get together, and most of them are husbands. The homes are closely related, which will allow the back houses to move around.

Since the stewards are discussing life under the Qi family, it is natural that they have to run more here.

However, the Liu family didn’t let Ye Jiao and Fang come out to join in the fun too much. They each had children to take care of. Liu also felt distressed about the hard work of the two daughter-in-laws. Most of them just let them fight, and let Ye leave the rest of the time Jiao and Fang decided on their own.

Ye Jiao didn't know what was happening at Fang's side. For Ye Jiao, apart from staring at Xu Bao to keep him from gnawing, he was talking about medicinal flowers in the yard with Dong.

"Chunlan, why didn't you bring the tiger?" Ye Jiao put down the small hoe, stood up, and asked while taking the kerchief and wiping his hands.

Dong Shi smiled at Ye Jiao and said: "He probably went out for the first time. I played with Xu Bao for a while. After returning home, he was noisy and stayed up. When the moon fell, he fell asleep. I couldn't wake up, so I didn't bring it."

Ye Jiao was a little surprised upon hearing this, "He won't sleep at night?"

Dong nodded, went into the wing with Ye Jiao, closed the door, and held the tea after it was warmer. He smiled and said, "It's fine. Children can easily sleep when they are happy. It is inevitable at night. Sleep and cry, don’t worry, just make it up during the day."

Little Ginseng also noticed that Dong's eyes were dark and swollen. Ye Jiao closed his cloak again and went out, went to the yard, looked around in the flowerbed, and then pulled a piece of pale yellow petals and squeezed it slightly. , Making the petals softer, and pressing them one by one under Dong's eyes after returning.

Suddenly, Dong felt a cool sensation and his eyes became much more comfortable.

This surprised Dong Shi, who immediately thought that this medicinal flower was useful.

She hurriedly took out a booklet from her arms, took a brush on the table, filled with ink, and said to Ye Jiao: "Jiao Niang, tell me, what is the name of this flower and what is it used for? record."

Ye Jiao used to know that Dong's love for medicine was obsessed with medicine. She would bring a brochure every time she came.

But little ginseng has nothing to hide. She used to be a ginseng, and what she did was life-saving. If these medicinal flowers can help others, she would be naturally happy, plus Dong is the proprietress of her own shop, know more It's also good.

It's just that, looking at the yellow flower petals under Dong's eyes, I feel a little bit of joy inexplicably.

Ye Jiao smiled and walked over and grabbed her: "I'll tell you later. You can take some time and write when the swelling under your eyes doesn't swell, otherwise the petals will be picked for nothing."

Hearing the words, Dong nodded, temporarily held back his excitement, put his pen back, and sat back at the table with Ye Jiao.

Xu Bao’s cradle was on the side, and the little guy was awake, reaching out and pulling the black feathers hanging on the cradle, making himself happy, having fun.

Seeing Ye Jiao coming over, he yelled "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Huanshi.

This makes Dong a little envious: "Xu Bao looks good and has a strong body, and seeing that he wakes up during the day and sleeps at night, it will not be too difficult to take care of him."

Ye Jiao blinked: "He usually sleeps too, sometimes it's the day when he sleeps."

Dong couldn't help looking back and curiously said: "Then it shouldn't be. If you sleep during the day, you won't be able to sleep at night."

However, the little ginseng slept deeply at night and did not know what his fat son was doing at night.

On the side, Xiao Su heard the words: "Second young lady, young master sometimes doesn't like to sleep at night, and he will be hungry at night."

Ye Jiao was taken aback.

hungry?

Now when he was still breast-feeding, he naturally wanted Ye Jiao to feed him when he was hungry, but Little Ginseng never remembered feeding him in the middle of the night.

Seeing her doubts, Xiao Su said: "Every time the second young master gets up, if the young master is hungry, the second young master will take the child to the inner room, presumably he was fed at that time."

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Jiao understood that she didn't need to be woken up at night, it was all the credit of her family.

No wonder sometimes in the middle of the night I feel that someone is arguing in my chest. She always thought it was Qi Yun who was stubborn and troubled her. Ye Jiao had always been by him and had never awakened. How could she have thought that it was her fat son who was arguing in the middle of the night.

Ye Jiao couldn't help but looked at Xu Bao and poked his fleshy little cheek.

Small things, you know how to eat, and you don’t know if you are tired.

She couldn't help thinking in her heart that she should stare at Xu Bao to sleep during the day.

Ye Jiao knew that Qi Yun had always cared about her and was unwilling to wake her up, but Ye Jiao also knew that Qi Yun’s body had to be well nurtured in order to be healthy. The caravan's affairs these days have caused him to be even worse than usual. Be busy, you should sleep well at night.

Xu Bao didn't get angry after being poked in the face, but showed a soft smile, turned his head and bit Ye Jiao's finger in his mouth and rubbed it.

Because Ye Jiao hadn't gotten her teeth yet, the fingertips he bitten on Ye Jiao only felt itchy, making her laugh, and she lowered her head to kiss Xu Bao's forehead loudly.

Dong's face was looking aside with envy that could not be concealed.

There are many good men in this world, but there are indeed too few such as the boss.

Dong clan wondered in his heart that he had to talk to Fang Li after returning home. Doesn't he think the boss is great?Then start from the painful lady.

Before long, Ye Jiao reached out and took off the petals from Dong's face.

Dong touched his swollen eyes, smiled, and took out the booklet he was holding, and asked Ye Jiao to tell her the usefulness of this medicinal flower.

When Dong Clan left, Ye Jiao gave her a pot of small yellow flowers and asked her to go back and study it carefully.

But Ye Jiao changed her clothes, pasted Huatian, and went out to Mrs. Gongsun's tea party with Fang.

This was the first time the two wives went out together, and Fang Shi was still a little worried.

Usually they get along well at home, but more of them meet at Liu's place, and then they take their children to play together, but rarely get together.

It's not that the relationship is bad, it's just that you can't get together.

Fang likes to read and practice calligraphy, and Ye Jiao likes to eat and drink, so few can chat together.

Before getting on the carriage this time, Fang still prepared a lot of plans in his heart, thinking about what to do if it gets cold.

Who knew that as soon as I got in the car, I smelled sweet smells.

Like red dates, but also like osmanthus.

Ye Jiao got in the car early and waited. This time the two of them went out to do a larger car. The car was spacious. Ye Jiao simply moved to a low table and brought another food box. Take it out.

Seeing Fang's coming in, Ye Jiao smiled and waved to her: "Sister-in-law, come and sit."

Fang raised the skirt slightly and sat on the soft cushion beside Ye Jiao, and then saw a few plates of desserts on the table, thinking that the sweet fragrance just smelled was from these desserts.

Ye Jiao put the plate aside, put the food box aside, and said, "I asked my mother that it would take more than half an hour to go to the county's Chengjia carriage. You may not be able to eat anything after going to the tea party. Bring something to cushion your belly."

Fang has been there several times, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Well, I just have tea and chat, and there is nothing to eat."

When he said this, the Fang clan felt a little disgusted.

The Qi family is a wealthy household, even if Fang's stingy, he wouldn't be wronged, and he knew that he would take out something to entertain guests when he came.

But the lady of the county's prime family is an iron cock. She doesn't have any hair. She usually asks someone to eat tea and never takes care of meals. She even waives tea.

But the ladies of these shops and Zhuangzi always have to bring some gifts when they go there. It's time for the county prime minister to make money for her family.

Fang looked at the red brocade box in the corner of Che Yu, and couldn't help grinding his teeth.

It's really irritating that I can't even eat hot meals every time I give something.

Ye Jiao could see it well. When the carriage was moving, she handed Fang a pair of chopsticks and said, "Then eat some first, so you won't be hungry."

Fang usually didn't eat anything at night, but now it was Ye Jiao who passed the chopsticks, and she couldn't refuse, so she held a piece of peach blossom crisp, round her face hesitated, she didn't know whether to eat or put it down.

As soon as he looked up, Fang immediately saw Ye Jiao, whose cheeks were already bulging.

Small ginseng has always been a straightforward person, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and don't care about anything else.

She was also very straightforward when she ate. She was taught by the Liu family to have a good manner, and it was also pleasing to watch. The most commendable thing is that Ye Jiao never picks up her mouth, and everything tastes delicious.

Fang clan stared at her, and suddenly understood why his mother-in-law Liu clan liked to let Ye Jiao accompany him for dinner.

In addition to being attractive and delicious, it was also because of the way my younger siblings were eating.

With smiles, cheeks bulging, and every bite is content.

Even a person like Fang who made up his mind not to eat too much could not help but have an appetite and silently put the peach blossom pastry into his mouth.

It's so delicious, Fang stretched out his chopsticks again.

When the carriage stopped, Fang cried and looked at the empty plates on the table.

I'm afraid I'm going to get fat again...

But soon she laughed again, the peach blossom cake is so delicious, after a big deal, she can't walk around more, she can't treat herself badly.

After the two of them entered the county's house, they sat in the back rows and didn't move forward.

Even though the status of merchants has improved, the officials still have to be looked at.

The Qi family is now a nouveau riche, but these back-house women have formed their own circle, each with its own door. Because the Qi family is newly established, they have nothing to do before they merge in.

In fact, the Fang family had friends of her own, and she also knew little sisters in her boudoir, but this time she took Ye Jiao to talk and never left.

Perhaps the Fang clan would be a bit eager at home and Qi Yun had a lot of projects, but when he left the house, the Fang clan could still distinguish the inside and the outside, and she knew the truth of the fact that all the glory and the damage are all.

Fang's family has stayed with Ye Jiao since entering the door, telling her who the ladies who came here are.

Ye Jiao held the tea cup and listened. Because she was full, Ye Jiao also had the strength to make a note. Even if she couldn't remember all of them, it would be good if she could write down the ones that might be related to the Qi family. Up.

The two daughter-in-laws of the Qi family didn't get up because of the excitement of the people around the county's wife.

Fang has his own reasoning: "Now, the three of their brothers have their own future. We don't have to flatter anyone. Otherwise, if one of them succeeds in the future, what we are doing now is to shame them. It's better to stay quiet. , It’s good to know a little bit, just don’t commit the crime, and the rest will be discussed later."

Ye Jiao could hear Fang's comforting herself. She smiled at Fang and said softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't care."

Little Ginseng's heart is very small, and all she can hold is the people who care, and the people who don't care about her.

The most important thing is to be happy about how others can be with her.

She whispered to Fang's: "I just want to wait to get out early, I'm going to see the lights."

Fang Shi smiled and nodded, asking her to wait patiently, but when Ye Jiao turned her head to look away, Fang Shi Yuanyuan's face was a little puzzled.

In the past, even though I would not be too enthusiastic at this kind of tea party, I would not ignore anyone. Today is too deserted.

It's like... someone put it on hold.

After the tea party was over, Fang finally discovered something was wrong when he went out.

The young woman standing next to the county maiden always looked at them, her eyes were cold, and she seemed a little bored.

Little Ginseng also saw that person, she tugged Fang's cuff, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, who is that? Why do you always look at me."

Fang frowned slightly. Because the powder on the young woman's face was thick and far away, she recognized it carefully. She held the veil with her hand to cover her mouth and whispered to Ye Jiao: " She is the daughter of the Lin family who sells pottery in the east of the city. I remember that Xu gave her the son of Xian Cheng as a maiden, but at that time you were in confinement, so you were not allowed to eat."

The county princes married their daughter-in-law, and everyone with a little face would come over to celebrate.

However, Ye Jiao went to the confinement after giving birth to Xubao, and went to the mountain yard after the confinement. None of this was known.

But the Lin Family... Ye Jiao had no impression.

However, the Lin clan over there stared at Ye Jiao, feeling uneasy.

Her family was originally a wealthy family, but Qi Jia Erlang directly cut off contact with the Lin family because her fifth younger brother contracted a disease, directly causing the Lin family to break the biggest source, and other shops also interrupted his family’s business. The Lin family's recent life has been extremely difficult.

Lin's family came to cry with her and asked her to help her out, but the Lin family couldn't say that it was because of Lin Wulang's own spring nights that they did something, so it was Qi Jia Saburo who instigated him to go. As for the family business That is, Qi Jia Erlang didn't care about love.

The Lin family meant to talk about their own suffering, so that their daughter could speak nice things in front of the county prime minister, and give his family some benefits to make a comeback.

Who knows that the Lin family only remembered the Qi family's hatred, but forgot everything they told them.

Coupled with the fact that Lin's life is not very good after marrying, he went out to play with each other, and didn't bother to go home at night, making Lin more and more frustrated.

Lin's heart hated him, not only because Qi Yun had broken business, but also why his fifth brother was suffering from a disease?

According to her natal family, Lin Wulang was going to the prostitute with Qi Ming at the beginning, and Qi Ming didn’t go by himself. Why didn’t he stop his fifth brother from ordering, and if he didn’t let him go, everything would be gone. ?

If Qi Ming had a little classmate friendship, he would never have to suffer this disaster for his family.

Everyone protects their shortcomings, so does the Lin family, and she believes what her parents say, she can't admit that it is her own fault, and that is the fault of others. It happens that Qi Yun and Qiming are the brothers, and Lin family deducted all the mistakes. On their heads.

Now that I heard that Qi Jia Erlang's wife was coming, Lin was struggling to find her.

But Ye Jiao didn't move forward and didn't give her a chance.

In addition, at the tea party just now, someone said that the pretty woman sitting over there was Qi Yun’s lady, praised Qi Yun for drawing her eyebrows, and admired Ye Jiao’s beautiful face and body. Lin's heart became better. Feel uncomfortable.

The more uncomfortable, the more indifferent, and she even had to stop others from talking to Ye Jiao, but Ye Jiao's unconcerned and comfortable appearance made Lin extremely frustrated.

When she was in the boudoir, Lin didn't have much calculation, but the Lin family was restless, and she had heard many tricks even if she hadn't done it.

Nowadays, she is the wife of the prime minister of the county, even if her husband's family is a little cold because of her family's decline, but since she occupies a position, she has confidence.

Thinking of this, she quietly left the hall, and immediately greeted a servant, and said to him: "Did you see the two people's frame?"

This person was working in the county's prime minister's house. Now he dare not say anything to the young grandma. He immediately glanced at the carriage that Lin pointed at, nodded and said, "I see."

Lin whispered: "Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is inevitable that there will be some surprises and overturns. It is not surprising." Then Lin stuffed the officer with a purse, "You take it, go to the two officers and say I invite them to drink, and there are other rewards for it."

The servant quietly turned upside down, and there are a couple of dollars in this purse.

He understood it, smiled and picked up his purse, turned his head and left to greet people, obviously not the first time he did this kind of thing.

In my heart, I was thinking that this young lady is much more generous than the county prime minister, and this is worth doing.

As for whose frame it was, he didn't care, he just had to do something a little bit, with the county princes backing him, as long as there was no major incident.

However, after Lin returned to the hall, he heard a wife who hadn't left muttering: "Look at Qi Jia Erlang, I know I'm here to take the lady home."

"I know Qi Jia Erlang, that's the one who looks good, but who is the tall and strong one next to him?"

"It's Ye's brother, but it's not clear."

"That bad-hearted Ye Er?"

"No, it was the eldest brother who just heard Ye's call, it should be Ye Da."

"It's not bad. Looking at her parents' family, I can rely on it. The Ye family is really lucky."

Lin listened to them without saying a word, but sneered in his heart.

How proud is it?I'll see who is crying and laughing later.
