Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The caravan returned in the afternoon of the next day. In order to avoid people's eyes, Qi Yun did not send them back to the Qi family, nor did they go to any of the Qi family's shops, but went directly to the Qi family's yard on the mountain.

Qi Yun took Ye Jiao to the yard with him, and also hugged Xu Bao.

On the carriage, Ye Jiao opened the curtain and looked out, then quickly lowered the curtain and sat next to Qi Yun again and said, "This time it is a bit later than when I came last time. There are no red leaves."

At this moment, Qi Yun was holding his own Xubao, reaching out for his fat son to grab and nibble. Hearing this, he said to Ye Jiao: "The experience last time was too profound, so it's better not to mention it."

Little Ginseng remembered that it was because the last time he came to the yard, Qi Yun was called away by the current emperor who was still the king of Duan. As a result, he encountered an assassin and almost lost his life. Wanting to come to Qi Yun, his impression of this mountain is not considered Good.

Ye Jiao leaned in and rescued her husband's hand from under Xu Bao's small teeth. Then, while hugging Xu Bao, he took out the kerchief and wiped Qi Yun's fingers, and asked with a smile, "Why? Afraid? Then we won't come in the future."

"But you like it here, don't you?"

Ye Jiao nodded, leaning on Qi Yun's shoulder, and whispered: "I like places with flowers, grass, mountains and trees. I look comfortable."

In fact, Little Ginseng has always felt that her goal is to become a human being. Even if it’s just that she has entered the human body now, it is not considered to be a human being, but there are parents, children, and a life of eating and drinking. Little Ginseng thinks this is a god. The day without changing is better than the goal I had imagined.

But the habit is hard to change after all. Occasionally Ye Jiao goes out for a walk, and when she sees the greenery, she will still remember the thousand years of time in the mountains and forests.

But the millennium is really too long, and it's very boring. After thinking about it, Ye Jiao muttered, "But I don't want to see every day. It's good to have some aftertaste once in a while, but after a long time, I will feel panicked."

Qi Yun didn't ask the reason. He just thought that his wife likes to relax in the mountains and forests, so he gently said: "You like it, and then we will come often. Besides, I am not so courageous. I am not afraid of this, but I am a little lucky. "

Ye Jiao raised her eyes to look at him: "What are you fortunate?"

Qi Erlang grabbed Ye Jiao's hand backhand, his expression was calm, and his voice was calm: "I'm glad that I was resurrected from the death, but I'm also glad... if it wasn't for the assassination that made the emperor set his mind and go back to fight for the position, I'm afraid of the current situation. It's different."

Qi Yun didn't say what was different, because he was afraid to scare Ye Jiao, but his heart was always clear.

If Chu Chengyun was not the one who made the Great Treasure in the end, then according to the cruelty of the others, no matter who was in charge, Chu Chengyun would undoubtedly die, and even those who were related to Chu Chengyun would not escape death.

Even if Chu Chengyun thought about how to get rid of the relationship before that, Qi Yun would still carry the seal given by Ye Pingrong, and the whole family would go out together.

Although it is not a different place in the body, how can the wildness outside the pass compare to today's free and easy?

But Qi Yun would never say anything that didn't happen. He just said as a joke: "Fortunately, the third son is now in charge, otherwise, the eldest brother will be alone for a while."

Ye Jiao also thought of Ye Pingrong and Hua Ning's affairs, and then curled her lips: "That's right, it's not easy for the eldest brother to marry a wife."

Xu Bao, who has always been quiet, clapped his hands and said, "Daughter-in-law!"

Ye Jiao hurriedly coaxed him with a cake made of milk, and Xu Bao from the province learned to talk nonsense.

Qi Yun stared at Xu Bao, stretched out his hand and gently touched his son’s face, his movements were particularly affectionate, and his voice was very gentle: “Xu Bao is also big now, and he knows how to learn, but he doesn’t learn anything every day. Suitable."

Ye Jiao couldn't help looking at him: "What do you want... eh."

Before Ye Jiao finished speaking, Xu Bao opened his mouth and bit off the milk cake that Ye Jiao was holding at the right time, eating with his cheeks, twisting happily.

Then, before Ye Jiao could respond, Xu Bao drilled forward, leaned into her arms, and giggled.

Little Ginseng was so amused by him that he lost his temper, gently squeezed his small butt, and forgot what he had just asked Qi Yun.

Qi Erlang looked at Xu Bao and thought to himself, although Xu Bao is very well-behaved, he is indeed rare and smart, and he learns everything quickly.

However, if such a clever child is not taught early, he will tend to get crooked. Maybe he should really be told to read.

Fortunately, Xu Bao is well-behaved and doesn't need to be staring and pressing like Saburo or Stone. It is not anxious to endorse and copy books, just teach the principles of life first.

And to those eyes that were the same as his own lady, Qi Erlang couldn't help asking himself.

While thinking about it, the carriage gradually stopped.

Qi Yun got out of the car first, then stood by the side of the car, staring at the people and set the footstool, first took Xu Bao down and handed it to Tiezi, then reached out his hand to help Ye Jiao down.

Ye Jiao put her left hand on Xiao Su's, and her right hand supported Qi Yun. When she walked down, she looked up and saw dozens of big cars.

The little ginseng was a little stunned for a while.

Before the caravan left, she had seen it together. Although there were many horse-drawn carriages at the time, it was far less than the current one, and the frame was not that big.

This makes Ye Jiao a little strange, and when she encounters something that she doesn't understand, she will definitely look at Qi Yun and ask: "Msang Gong, why is this too much? Didn't it mean that she brought things out to sell? What's the reason for more?"

Qi Yun took her hand, smiled and walked forward with her, with a gentle and patient voice: "This caravan is not just going out to sell goods, but doing a deal. In this transaction, there is a sale, there is a purchase. Come in. Fanbang barbarians like our objects, and I like theirs too. Buying at low prices and selling them at high prices is the basis for caravans to make money."

Ye Jiao wrote these words down, and after a few times, she nodded.

Qi Erlang nodded when she saw her then continued: "The most important thing in the caravan we sent out was not the exchange of goods, but the third son's request." The voice paused, and Qi Yun tightened Ye Jiao's hand. It's just that he can't count on his request, so he has to talk twice."

If you don't count, you will be fine.

If it is to count, it is a trivial matter to divide the profit according to the previous agreement, and even Qi Yun is willing to give him all the money, because that will give him a backer, and it is the hardest backer in the world.

But Qi Yun felt that Chu Chengyun would not necessarily want it, and his patron wasn't very reliable.

Ye Jiao didn't think so much, she just counted the carts one by one, as if she wanted to count the results.

The two couples in front had a good chat, but Xu Bao, who was held by Tie Zi behind, was a little unhappy.

Obviously, my mother was held by my father and forgot about him. He was usually held by the fragrant mother, but now he is replaced by a tough and thin brother...

"mother!"

This sound was extremely loud, and when Ye Jiao turned around, she saw her Xu Bao stretch out his hand at her.

Ye Jiao let out Qi Yun's hand directly, and walked over to hug Xu Bao into his arms.

But Ye Jiao still thanked Tiezi first, and then looked at Xu Bao, lowered her head and rubbed the tip of the little guy's nose with the tip of her nose: "What's wrong? That voice just now scared everyone else. do you know?"

Xu Bao couldn't understand such a long sentence, but as soon as he was hugged by Ye Jiao, he immediately posted it and squatted on Ye Jiao's shoulder with a smile, not noisy, and especially cute.

Qi Yun looked at them and raised his eyebrows slightly.

So it seems that my son is behaving or not, I have to look at it again.

When Guan Shi came, Qi Yun took Guan Shi to sort out the accounts and goods this time. Ye Jiao did not follow, but took someone to the wing in the yard to rest.

Xu Bao is happy as long as he follows Ye Jiao. After a year, Xu Bao has already forgotten what happened here. Everything is fresh when he sees it. The little guy who usually doesn't say a word at home for a long time. Start asking as soon as you enter the door.

What is this, what is that, Xu Bao seems to be asking everything from the beam to the floor.

Ye Jiao was also patient, explaining to him one by one, and she was proud of it.

Xiaosu smiled while serving tea: "Young grandma really loves the young master."

Ye Jiao smiled and replied, "I'm teaching him how to be a man. Before, I was taught by Xianggong, but now it's my turn to teach others."

Seeing Xiao Su's face blank, Ye Jiao was not prepared to explain.

After all, the happiness of being taught by the little ginseng is something ordinary people cannot feel.

When Qi Yun came back, it was already evening.

Xu Bao fell asleep with exhaustion, his sleeping face leaning up and down, and his belly was undulating under the quilt. Qi Yun couldn't help it, and reached out and poked it.

But when Ye Jiao looked over, Qi Erlang withdrew his hand and gently said to Ye Jiao: "Jiao Niang, you have worked hard."

Ye Jiao walked over and took off his cloak and belt, and hung it on the shelf while saying: "It's not hard to play with Xu Bao, it's interesting, but you, just walked outside for so long, are you tired?"

For another person, Qi Yun would definitely say he was not tired.

But when Ye Jiao asked, Qi Yun nodded honestly: "Tired."

Ye Jiao took him to wash, and soaked her feet well. When the two of them settled up, Ye Jiao patted him: "Go up and go on your stomach."

Qi Yun lay down on the bed, and then he felt his thigh sink, turning his head to see that Ye Jiao had sat on his lap.

The little ginseng rolled up his sleeves, pressed his soft white fingers on his back, and said while pressing: "You are now in good shape, but you can't be too tired. You can't go out tonight. Take a good rest. ."

Qi Yun couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, but then looked back at her, smiled and said, "With the words of Jiao Niang, I will be tired."

Ye Jiao saw that his body was not sore or painful, and Qi Yun just pinched a few acupuncture points and didn't respond, knowing that this person is really not tired.

Simply leaning forward, the whole person lay on Qi Yun's back, stretched out his hand to support his shoulder and said: "That's not good, you are tired, and I have to squeeze it in the end, my hands will still be sore."

Qi Yun turned over and caught Ye Jiao in his arms, gently squeezing her hand: "Then I will rub it for you too?"

Ye Jiao replied and let him go with a smile.

But after a while, Qi Yun patted Ye Jiao on the back: "It's still early, I'll show you the income this time."

Ye Jiao remained unmoved: "You know it, you don't need to tell me."

"This can't be done, the lady is my chief butler, who is in charge of the money. I will naturally have to hand it over to you before I feel at ease." Qi Yun said, let go of Ye Jiao and get up to bring herself. Bring the box, stretched out his hand to come over and put the box on.

Ye Jiao also got up, looked at him and asked, "Don't you usually have to go through this at home first?"

"That's the account of the shop. The shop is the family's property, and it is necessary to give the family a fixed amount from the profit. But this caravan is the money from the upper one. I contributed the money. The money is the two of us. Splitting the accounts has nothing to do with the family." As he said, Qi Yun pushed the box towards Ye Jiao, "This is the income here, you see."

Ye Jiao stretched out her hand and opened the box. After opening it, she felt a little shake in front of her eyes.

Squinting his eyes and moving the candle away, he could see what was inside.

Then, Ye Jiao couldn't help covering her mouth: "Is this gold?"

Qi Yun smiled: "In addition to gold, there are gems, all of which are invaluable," he said, and he took out a round black gem, "This is worth everything."

Ye Jiao had no idea about silver money, but putting so many shiny objects together, it was really hard not to attract attention.

But from the moment when Qi Yun was in charge of the money, even if Ye Jiao hadn't tried hard to spend, she knew that these things should not be exposed casually, and she had to be careful to collect them.

She hurriedly took the gems in Qi Yun's hand and threw them back into the box, then buckled the box and said to Qi Yun: "This is going to be put away, add a lock?"

Qi Yun looked at her carefully and was amused.

However, Qi Yun didn't lock it. Instead, he put the box aside, moved the couch aside, reached out and hugged Ye Jiao, and said slowly: "These are just the beginning. You can use money by your side, but you can't protect yourself. If I want to protect myself, I still have a lot to do in the future."

Ye Jiao didn't ask him what he would do in the future. Instead, he thought of the big cars he had seen before, and couldn't help but ask, "What are those cars?"

Qi Yun never concealed it from her, and it was the same this time: "That was all cheap stuff from the barbarians, animal skins, native herbs, and a lot of food plants grown there for food. People live forever, and they can’t get rid of them. What you start is food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Doing these businesses will never lose money."

There is another word, Qi Yun did not say.

Regardless of whether Chu Chengyun admits it or not, it is the caravan trip that was registered with Chu Chengyun.

Since the current sage knows this, Qi Yun can't do things too harshly, even if it's business, he has to be restrained.

These gems, gold and silver are exchanged daily and have never been bought, but the fur and grain are good for the people. Even if Chu Chengyun asks afterwards, he will only know that Qi Jiaerlang is the country and the people. Willing to strive for profit is naturally good.

And Ye Jiao looked at him with her face in her hands, her expression focused.

Qi Yun couldn't help but stop her voice, and smiled and asked her: "What do you think of me?"

Little Ginseng blinked: "I always feel that when you say this, Xiang Gong, you always look very beautiful."

Being so bluntly praised by my own lady, Qi Yun had some red ears.

He coughed slightly, and forcibly changed the subject: "Now that you have spare money, you can't keep it in your hand. If you keep the money in your hand, sooner or later, it will be a disaster. It is better to spend it early."

But Ye Jiao heard this question, but he was a little at a loss.

If it was only fifty pens, or a silver ticket, Ye Jiao naturally knew how to spend it.

But now it's a box of gold and gems. Little Ginseng feels that he has been a human being for too short a time. He really doesn't know what to do. He can only ask Qi Yun: "How to spend it?"

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and squeezed Ye Jiao's earlobe, only to feel that his lady was different from others.

Others have always thought about making money and worrying about it. Only their own maidens, who get money but don't understand the flowers, are diligent and thrifty, and they are the most virtuous.

Qi Yun thought for a while, and asked: "Then, what do you like lady?"

Ye Jiao didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "I like you."

Qi Erlang's ears are even redder, but his face has a serious look: "Jiao Niang, what we are discussing now is spending money, you must not always say this."

But in his heart, Qi Erlang hoped that Ye Jiao would talk about it, even if he said one more word, he would have reason to be unable to control it.

But the little ginseng was very well-behaved and didn't say anything. Just thinking about it again, thinking of what he said on the carriage, Ye Jiao said, "Then I like flowers and plants."

Qi Yun felt a pity in his heart, but smiled on his face and said, "Okay, let's buy flowers and plants."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but tugged at his cuffs: "The flower gardens in the yard at home are full, and there is no place to put them when they are bought."

Qi Yun bowed his head and kissed Ye Jiao’s smooth forehead, and said softly, “I mean, don’t you like the flowers and plants on this mountain very much? Then I will buy this mountain. Then, we will see everything we want. can."

Buy a mountain?

Can I still buy mountains?

Ye Jiao stared at him blankly, Qi Yun took the opportunity to kiss the corner of her mouth, and whispered, "Do you like it?"

"like."

"Buy if you like."

What responded to him were Ye Jiao's soft arms and lips with the scent of osmanthus.

I want to come from home Jiao Niang secretly eat osmanthus cake tonight.As Qi Yun thought, he deepened the kiss.

Not long after, the candle was blown out, and after a groaning sound in the room, the woman made some soft, gasping voices: "Liar, you just said you were tired."

In response to her, a smiley voice: "Tired is also divided into things. I am not tired if I have something to do with my wife."

"... Then let me squeeze your back, I'm tired."

"Don't worry, the lady will lie down and do the tired things for her husband, okay?"

When he went down the mountain the next day, Ye Jiao sat in the carriage and said to Qi Yun while pushing her waist: "After I go back, I will accompany my mother to the incense. You can eat lunch with Xu Bao."

Qi Yun said "Yes".

Ye Jiao pinched his waist again, and couldn't help but say, "Or, next time you lie down with your husband, I will do the tired thing?"

Qi Yun wanted to refuse. After all, this involved self-esteem, and he didn't want to admit it.

But suddenly I thought of the scene, and I swallowed it back before I could say my rejection.

Qi Erlang looked at the small ginseng and agreed.

Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun's red cheeks, a little dazed, she really couldn't think of what her mate had thought of.

After returning to the Qi's house and resting for a while, Ye Jiao changed her clothes and went out, and went to the temple with Liu and Fang.

But after getting off the car, Liu frowned slightly.

Fang clan looked down and couldn't help but said, "Is it such a coincidence?"

Ye Jiao followed and saw that there was a carriage not far away, and a pair of women dressed up as a mother and daughter just got out of the car, just looking at the stranger, Ye Jiao didn't know it.

Fang's whispered: "That's the Lu family's mistress Wu, and the other one is probably Lu's girl."
