Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

In the Qi family hall, Liu clan looked at the coming mistress of the Lu family with a gentle smile.

The wife of the Lu family was surnamed Wu. She was originally the daughter of a businessman and had old friends with the Liu family.

When they grew up, the Liu family married to the Qi family, while the Wu family married to the Lu family as a continuation.

However, since the Wu family entered the Lu family, she has been particularly disgusted with people from merchants. Because there is a clergyman who is a Privy Councilor, the Wu family has always regarded herself as a pure stream and regarded herself very high.

The Wu family never went to the flower-appreciating tea party gathered by the Qi family, and rarely let his daughter go.

Now it is the first time the two have met since their marriage.

Liu's brows were smiling, and his voice was peaceful: "I haven't seen you in a long time, how is Wu Niang now?"

"Everything is fine, but Sanniang looks a lot more haggard than before." Wu Shi also smiled, turned the Jinpa in his hand, and looked at Liu Shi with special concern.

Mrs. Liu, who was standing next to Liu's family, didn't seem to have such good self-cultivation as her own master, she only felt that her eyebrows were jumping.

Speaking of looks, the Liu family was a first-class beauty at the beginning, and even now he can't fault it.

Besides, haggard?My wife looks very good now, she can't even see the wrinkles. It doesn't matter if someone else talks about it, but this Wu's face is sallow, so why can she talk to her sore spots?

The Liu family's expression remained the same, there was nothing unusual about it.

She raised her hand to let people serve tea, and then looked at Wu with a smile: "I wonder if Wu Niang is here this time, but is there anything to discuss?"

Wu actually didn't want to take such a trip. She used to look down on the merchant's house. Now that the Qi family is living well, isn't it because of the money Qi Erlang earned from doing business?Such people are not rare.

Especially when the Liu family was sought after by everyone, but he couldn't match it everywhere, so he was naturally concerned.

Although Wu clan is not always waiting for provocation like Zhang clan, but Wu clan still feels uneasy.

Only when the woman next to her touched her gently, Wu finally remembered the master's instructions when she went out.

She is a continuation, and there is no son beside her, only an only daughter, she is very important, if it weren't for being pressed, I'm afraid she would not take such a trip.

As he continued to show his smiling face, Wu raised his chin slightly: "I heard that Qi Jia Saburo has a brilliant literary talent, and he passed the exam. He is really a good son. If you and my family can form the Qin and Jin Dynasties, it will be a great thing. ."

As soon as the words came out, Liu's expression was weak, but he immediately regained a soft smile: "My Saburo is only seventeen years old. If I remember correctly, your girl should be twenty. This age really doesn't match."

The most unbearable thing about the Wu family is that others say that her daughter is not good. Even if Liu’s words are euphemistic, Wu subconsciously retorts: "The third-year female college holds gold bricks. Besides, won’t your son be eighteen soon? It’s not too early at the age of the governor.” The voice paused again, and worked hard to persuade, “Our Lu family talks about family background, and we can’t find a better one in this city. There will also be help in Beijing. If Saburo enters the official career, my family will be able to contribute."

As soon as he said this, Liu's holding a tea cup, and when he leaned to his mouth, he concealed the coldness in his eyes.

She knew that Zhang was a no-brainer. From the time he was still in her boudoir, Zhang was often used as a gunman by Wu, but Zhang himself didn't even know.

Unexpectedly, now that so many years have passed, time has changed, and Zhang's mind has not grown up, and Wu's face is the same as before. His face is docile, and his heart is full of twists and turns.

These things about marrying high and low marrying, just close the door and talk about it, but the Wu family will take it out with a smile.

The Liu family knew that even though it was because she didn't think she was born as a landlord and merchant, more often, Wu family was reluctant.

The reluctance to even come to talk to each other is strange in itself.

After changing the other things, Liu's must smile, and would not care about her.

But now that Wu clan is talking about his own Saburo's marriage, Liu clan would not treat it as having never happened before, especially for such a strange thing. You have to know the reason to deal with it.

It's just that Liu's will never agree.

Even if I don't look at the Lu family, it's always inappropriate to go back in person, so I have to change the view.

Putting the tea light aside, the Liu family is still the gentle and generous wife of the Qi family: "You came a little bit suddenly. Saburo is not in the house at the moment, I can't ask for his opinion, and my Xiang Gong and Da Lang are not there either. They have to agree on this matter."

Wu also nodded. She didn't even think about getting things done once, but she specifically exhorted: "It's better not to keep your children's marriage with you. It's better to make an early decision."

Liu's smiled and nodded, and also sighed about the difficulty of motherhood.

But when Wu clan left, Liu clan's face became cold.

Granny Liu finally couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "I really don't know what she is doing this time, is it pro or showing off? That tail up to the sky is more swagger than Xiao Hei in our yard."

Liu's expression was faint: "I know what kind of temperament she is. There is nothing to stop. Come on, there is no need to get angry with her. I just can't figure out why Wu is talking about this marriage."

Granny Liu couldn't help but look at her, and said, "Madam, the three young masters have taken three case chiefs. They are the most talented. The people who wanted to talk to our family before have stepped on the threshold. This Lu family wants to get married. Is it normal."

The Liu family shook his head: "No, it's different. Even if I don't look at the Lu family, but they can't pick it up, there are still people in Beijing. If such a daughter is married, they are indeed married. Besides, that The Wu family has never looked down upon the merchants, but now he wants to go to my family. Seeing her like that, he knows that it was made with the heart."

Mrs. Liu whispered: "I can't see what she wants to say."

Liu clan stood up, heard the words, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's impossible to say that it is Wu clan holding too much and can't get things done, but her mind is still clear. She wants to complete this marriage, even a little eager... "

After that, Liu stopped talking.

Seeing Liu's meditation, Po Liu didn't say anything, lowered her head and supported Liu's back to the yard.

And Tiezi, who was cat outside the door of the front hall, immediately retreated to the corridor cautiously, and then ran all the way to find Qi Yun.

When Tiezi passed by, Qi Yun didn't immediately ask the Lu family's purpose, but smiled and asked, "Mother, can you go back?"

Tiezi took a few breaths and nodded: "I'm back."

Ye Jiao hugged Xu Bao when she heard the words: "Then I'll go talk to my mother, Xiang Gong, remember to drink the soup, it's good for your body."

Qi Yun looked at the pig bones, Gorgon, and Astragalus soup on the table. Even if Ye Jiao didn't say anything, he knew what the soup was for.

With a light cough and a low response, Qi Yun picked up the soup bowl and drank it without a word.

Ye Jiao smiled, and then went out holding Xu Bao and Xiao Su.

After they left, Qi Yun called Tiezi in and asked, "What did you say?"

Tiezi repeated the conversation to Qi Yun without losing a word, because Qi Yun said that he should write it down, so Tiezi really took it down, even the occasional Ji Feng in the words of Liu and Wu. Never let it go.

Qi Yun stopped and sat there, frowning his eyebrows slightly.

Upon seeing this, Tiezi said: "Master, the Lu family is really deceiving people too much. He made it clear that he must let the third master marry his daughter."

Qi Yun returned to his senses, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he filled himself with a bowl of soup, but didn't drink it. He just stirred with a spoon and said, "It's better to say that you are too anxious than deceiving people too much."

The two families had no similarities, and the only contact was that the Lu family wanted to force their own brewing recipe.

But this is a vengeance, not a marriage.

But if it is said that the Lu family wants to hire Qi's family planner, it is unreasonable. If it is to get a daughter for the planner, or the mistress's biological daughter, it would be too generous.

Qi Yun was a little confused for a while, but he knew that the Lu family must have impure motives, but he didn't know what they were thinking.

It was Tiezi who hesitated and said softly: "Um, Second Young Master, I don't know if I should say something."

"Say."

Tiezi seemed to have organized the language in his head, and then said: "The three young masters are studying abroad all year round. We don't know who they know. This time I left home and went to the city. Although Liu Si followed, it was just Only now have I been waiting around..."

Qi Yun raised his eyes to look at him: "Don't go around in circles, just talk straight."

Tiezi's voice paused slightly and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the three young masters and Miss Na Lu's love each other, which made the Lu family kiss?"

As soon as this was said, the room was quiet.

In fact, Tiezi didn’t quite believe it after he said this. In his opinion, even though his third young master is not young, he usually writes large characters in addition to reading books, even if he is free, he is forced to write big characters. There is no time to think about such things as geniuses and beautiful ladies.

Therefore, Tiezi quickly changed his words: "Second Young Master, I just said casually, Third Young Master will definitely not."

Qi Yun put the spoon in the bowl, frowning slightly: "I know he won't, but now when the Lu family's purpose is unknown, who knows if someone will force Saburo to do this thing."

Tiezi was taken aback and reflected for a while before trying to understand what Qi Yun said.

Could it be said that the Lu family can really save their daughter's reputation for getting married?

But before Tie Zi wanted to understand, Qi Yun stood up and said, "Go, take a pen and paper, and I will write a letter to Saburo. Whether it's true or not, he will stay in the academy these days."

Tie Zi went to get the pen and paper, and he was a little worried: "Second Young Master, if you tell the truth, will Third Young Master think too much? Now he is preparing for the provincial examination, I am afraid that he can't resist scaring."

When Qi Yun heard the words, he felt that Tiezi was right. He was also anxious and forgot about it, so he nodded: "Okay, I won't tell him the truth." Then he thought about it, "Then I will arrange for him three days a day. Ten big characters, all of them are written, and sent back once every ten days. If he wants to come, he has no time to leave the academy."

Tiezi:...

Suddenly felt that he had cheated the third master?

In Liu's yard, they were talking about the same thing.

It's just different from Qi Yun's attitude. The Liu family didn't talk about the Lu family's ulterior motives, but just asked if they had seen the Lu family girl.

Although Ye Jiao has been to a lot of flower viewing banquets, she just didn't remember her surname Lu.

Fang hadn’t seen it either, but she was holding the stone with hesitation in her eyes: “Mother, the Lu family is not a good family. The people in it are not capable, but they have a bad temper. Da Lang has been angry with them before. If you get married with his family, I'm afraid you will get angry more often in the future."

The Liu family naturally knew this, but the Liu family thought deeply and was ready to explore more before making plans. Now that Fang family and Ye Jiao didn't know about it, they didn't ask more.

With a smile on his face, Liu said: "Don't talk about them, I heard that Shishi can endorse it?"

Fang also laughed, hugged his son and coaxed: "Come on, Shishi, let grandma and aunt listen to the surnames of the family."

The stone was told by Fang before he came. Knowing that it would happen, he was not nervous, climbed down from Fang's legs, stood on the ground, with his head held high, and shook his endorsement: "Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu and King Zheng..."

There were a few stumbles in the middle, but I still memorized dozens of words, which is very powerful.

When the stone got stuck, Liu's hand stretched out and hugged the stone in a timely manner, and he praised him for a great deal. Fang was still anxious and the stone was incomplete, but when she saw Liu's happy, she also laughed. His face was very smug.

Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to give the cakes he brought to Fang, and said, "If you learn Shishi well, your sister-in-law must have done a lot of work. Take these cakes with your sister-in-law and eat them when Shishi gets tired."

Fang took it with a smile and glanced at the stone.

Stone immediately said obediently, "Thank you, auntie."

Then Fang's family coaxed him to recite the Three-character Sutra. This is something that Little Stone has receded many times, so he is naturally exceptionally fluent.

However, when he was carrying it on his back, Stone found Xu Bao's mouth moved.

He couldn't help but stop his mouth, ran over to lie on Ye Jiao's calf, and raised his head to look at Xu Bao.

Xu Bao wore a blue jacket and a tiger head hat today, which is the cutest.

Seeing Brother Shishi looking at himself, Xu Bao looked back with a smile, and reached out to touch the hand of Shishi, with a clear voice: "Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, eat."

When Shishi heard it, he knew that he had just memorized it, but it has been a while, but he didn't expect Xu Bao to remember it, and Xiao Shishi's eyes widened.

Liu's and Fang's were also surprised, only Ye Jiao kissed Xubao's forehead, no wonder.

It must be that the child just saw that he had brought a cake to the stone. He was greedy and wanted to eat. He just wanted something to eat.

Ye Jiao didn't treat him badly, pinched a small piece of red date cake from the plate on the table and put it to Xu Bao's mouth.

The little guy looked at it first, then licked it again, and then ate it with his mouth open, smiling like a big blessing doll.

Liu's also liked it very much. The beloved baby who had been hugging him for a while was rare. Although Fang felt more painful to the stone, she couldn't hold Xu Bao's smiling face, so she coaxed together.

Only the stone, looking at Xu Bao with sympathy.

My brother is so pitiful, it is estimated that he is forced to endorse until dark by his second uncle like ice cubes every day.

Such a good brother was bullied by his second uncle, which inspired Shitou's immature sympathy, and he leaned forward, reached out to touch Xu Bao's little hand, and sighed while touching it.

Xu Bao also held his hand and smiled, the sun was shining brightly.

Shishi was staring at him, thinking that as an elder brother, he should protect his younger brother. His younger brother was stupid, and he probably wouldn't understand it after being bullied.

The four-year-old Stone felt a sense of responsibility for the first time at this moment.

The Liu family didn’t notice the interaction between the two grandchildren. She looked at Ye Jiao and Fang, and said, “I’m going to Shangxiang in two days. Please accompany me. I can go around the shop."

Fang Shi and Ye Jiao agreed, and played with the two children together, before they dispersed.

Ye Jiao hugged Xu Bao and walked slowly.

Just now I was probably going crazy playing with Shitou. It consumed too much energy. Xu Bao was a little sleepy. At this moment, he put his head on Ye Jiao's shoulder when he was held by Ye Jiao, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Ye Jiao wrapped him in a quilt, wrapped her fat son into a ball to save the cold, and walked a lot more slowly.

When he approached the courtyard gate, Ye Jiao saw the figures walking back and forth at the gate.

Ye Jiao didn't recognize it until he approached, "Does Song Song?"

When Guan Shi heard this, he turned his head and saw Ye Jiao and Xu Bao billowing in her arms.

Seeing that the young master was asleep, Guan Shi's original voice that he wanted to announce was lowered a little, but the smile on his face couldn't hide, and he whispered: "Second young grandma, I'm here to announce the good news to the young master."

Ye Jiao blinked and said curiously: "What's the good news?"

Song Guan laughed to himself twice beforehand before he said: "Go back to the second young lady, the caravan will be back soon."
