Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The yard on the mountain is very large, and there are all the flowers and trees that Ye Jiao said.

There was a stream trickling in the middle. Qi Yun took Ye Jiao's hand and said as he walked: "You can build a few stone bridges here and plant willow trees on both sides. I'll let you draw them when I look back."

Ye Jiao responded with a smile, and went to the garden with Qi Yun.

But the garden is very big, built on the mountain, and there are woods beside it, so you can't see the head at a glance.

After walking for a while, he made a bed and rested by the stream.

This bed was not a bed, but a foldable chair. Qi Yun brought two of them when he went out. He thought that the yard was big and he couldn't finish shopping for a while. It would be good to have a chair to rest.

Ye Jiao sat down, looked at the gurgling stream, smiled and grabbed Qi Yun's hand: "It's great here, what I like, will it really belong to us in the future?"

Qi Yun took out a land deed from her arms and gave it to her: "You take this, it is here, it is naturally ours here, and all the plants and trees inside are ours."

In fact, when Qi Yun said to buy mountains before, Ye Jiao had no idea.

But now, after seeing the yard truly, Ye Jiao felt particularly happy.

Qi Yun said: "It's okay to clean up here. The open space in the south just happened to be rich. When I turned back to let the caravan come back, I would stay there. When my eldest brother wrote to me two days ago, he said that he had bought a set of poles. A good harness will be brought to you next time. It’s empty here, just for you to learn how to ride a horse."

"Brother wrote you a letter? Why didn't you tell me." Ye Jiao tugged Qi Yun's cuff.

Qi Erlang smiled and grabbed her fingertips, and said with a smile: "It's all small things, nothing interesting. I will have to send a letter later, and you can write a letter and send it together. "

Ye Jiao didn't question, and Qi Yun continued to drag her forward and walk slowly.

In fact, the letter between Qi Yun and Ye Pingrong never stopped.

Previously, because the situation was not stable, Ye Pingrong didn't know what his future was, so he always kept in touch, but at that time, most of the letters were sent unilaterally by Qi Yun, which was regarded as family letter.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, Ye Pingrong has also gained a firm foothold, and often writes letters.

After Wu's first visit, Qi Yun wrote a letter to inquire about the Lu family, in fact, to test whether the Qi family's backing was reliable.

If it is reliable, then it will be bigger and bigger.

If it is unreliable, then it will be smaller, I am afraid that when Ye Jiao said that Lu Qi girl is pregnant, Qi Yun will make their minds dirty.

As a result, Ye Pingrong’s reply clearly told Qi Yun that Saburo’s future was important.

And, seemingly inadvertently, said that the purging of official style in the DPRK involved a lot of officials, including one named Lu, who was afraid to move.

In fact, Qi Yun never mentioned his thoughts about the Lu family in his letter. Now Ye Pingrong can say this, thinking that it is not his opinion. What Qi Yun can guess is that the righteous brother of his third brother has never let go of Qi. Saburo's attention.

Qi Yun couldn't figure out for a while, whether his Saburo was able to be stared at by the emperor to study whether it was a blessing or a curse.

As for the Privy Scholar, Qi Yun didn't matter whether he was targeted because of the court affairs or his family was implicated. After all, he gave himself a reason to vent his anger.

Qi Yun waited patiently until yesterday, when Ye Pingrong's letter came again, and Qi Yun dropped the outstanding piece on the chessboard.

If you vent your anger on an order, you can't be soft.

As for the Lu family, he always wanted him not to be a good person in the future, no matter what others thought, Qi Yun never thought about being kind from the beginning.

Since they had pitted their minds and threw away their affection first, Qi Yun had no reason to save them.

This is true of the Cai family, the Lin family, and the Lu family.

Looking at the sun, Qi Yun smiled and said: "The scene where I want to come to the sister-in-law has already begun."

Ye Jiao heard this and said to Qi Yun: "I want to see it too."

"Wait before the New Year, would you please invite a troupe to come and sing in the hall?"

"If I can't understand it anymore, you can tell me about it, Xiang Gong."

"it is good."

On the other side, Fang, who was not clear about these twists and turns, had only an angry expression.

People do not fight with officials, as it has been since ancient times.

Just like in this city, even if everyone thinks that the Lu family members are not stingy and particular, but no one provokes them, they must be respected when they go out and go in, because they are close to the Beijing officials, which is ugly. Yes, if they really want to find something wrong, the Qi family really can't help it.

A decent official and eunuch discusses marriage, and there is a charter for those who fail to succeed. Naturally, they can't do the kind of forced marriage.

However, the Lu family insisted on rushing to send their daughter to the Qi family this time. Even those who are not smart like the Fang family can see that they are focusing on the Qi family’s property, but they just don’t point it out. Hanging, making Qi family unable to come and go.

The Qi family has no clans to back up, no official status, even if it is placed in the yamen, it does not take advantage.

The Liu family was thinking of procrastinating, waiting for a while, looking at the eagerness of the Lu family, after a while, the Wu family could not wait, so naturally he would find someone else.

Who knows that his family will say in front of outsiders, as if everyone thinks that the two are going to get married, only they don't know.

If you say no, the Lu family will definitely not be forgiving, and it will be their own family who will suffer.

But yes, Saburo is the one who pitted him.

The Lu family is playing a hooliganism, and they have nothing to do with him. If it weren't, Fang would not make his scalp numb with anger.

But before coming this time, Erlang said don't be afraid, all things are naturally taken care of. It seems that Qi Yun has already settled, and Fang is happy to come forward.

I was afraid of being afraid of the east and the west when I was replaced by others, but the Fang clan was different. Qi Yun recognized that the Fang clan was a family-maintaining and simple personality. Even though he was usually careful, his personality was straightforward and never afraid of things.

There is almost no need to explain, as long as Qi Yun guarantees that the sky is falling and he will bear it, Fang will be able to get ahead.

And to take a step back, Fang himself felt that Saburo was more and more important. He was the only one of the three brothers in the family who took the imperial examination. Of course, he must be careful and not be ruined by people like the Lu family.

In addition, the Shang Family knew that the Lu Qi girl was pregnant, and felt that the Lu family was crazy.

Where is marriage?This is obviously to bully the Qi family and no one to rely on, forcibly planting grass on Saburo's head!

Today, I must help Saburo pull the grass clean.

But Fang was gnashing his teeth on the carriage, and when he got off the carriage, it was a breeze. When he saw Wu, he even smiled: "Madam Lu is well, why didn't you see Seven Girls here today?"

And this affectionate change took Fang a lot of effort and almost used her life's endurance.

When Wu got out of the carriage, the smile on his face was also very real.

She was originally from a merchant, but she was a continuation. She was not decent enough in her husband's family. Now it is to hide her ugliness for her daughter, and she was forced by her husband's family to hold the Qi family in a hurry. When he moved, Wu Clan, apart from spreading some words behind his back, thought about starting from Qi Saburo. Who knew that Qi Saburo was bored in the academy and would not go out. Wu Clan could not help.

Seeing Fang's face with a smile at this moment, she was relieved and curled up her mouth and said: "My girl has a cold and can't get out. She is raising her at home."

On the other hand, the Fang family and the Wu family brought them into the teahouse, and while walking up the stairs, said: "Then you must raise them well, don’t go out to catch the wind, seeing that the New Year is about to be celebrated, it’s better to raise them earlier. Otherwise, the excitement during the New Year will be gone."

Wu Clan thought that Fang Clan had come out of the small door, knowing to watch the excitement, but with a smile on his face, he said in a warm voice, "I borrow your good words."

When he went upstairs, Wu found that it was empty, and there were no other people besides them.

This made Wu Shi look at Fang Shi: "Why is it so clean?"

Fang smiled and thought to himself that this place was taken down by Qi Yun not long ago. It is now regarded as the property of the Qi family. Of course, he can be cleaned as he wants.

But Fang's mouth said: "Quietness is worthy of the identity of the lady, and it is more decent."

It's strange to say, how can you make a decent meal of tea?

But without thinking about it, Wu and Fang found a position by the window and sat down.

And the people who followed Fang's family were not the people who usually followed Fang's family, but Liu's wife next to Liu's family.

She went out after the two of them got up, winking at the person at the door.

As a result, the servants of the Qi family who were still quiet just now suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, dragging the Lu family to have a drink, and they were particularly bold to entertain guests.

In the end, they are all doing things under their hands. Nowadays, when someone treats guests for a drink, no one is willing to refuse, so they gather in twos and threes.

Fang Shi smiled at Wu Shi, "Although this is a place for tea, the refreshments are also excellent. Madam may wish to try it."

Wu looked at the desserts on the table, took the veil and covered the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It looks good, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my family had a box of cakes from the adult in Jingli, and they were also delivered by the government office. After a snack, the relationship will come closer, and the future will be easy to talk."

Fang Shi had a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that this was what Wu Shi had.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't dare to plant grass or flowers on their heads.

But just when Fang was a little nervous, a carriage came on the long street outside.

In the afterglow of the evening, Fang could see the carriage a little familiar.

She couldn't help putting down the chopsticks in her hand, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the carriage I saw outside the temple the last time? Madam, there is still someone coming from your family?"

Wu couldn't help looking at it, and then his expression changed slightly.

The two watched as the horse-drawn carriage passed the teahouse, and stopped in front of a courtyard not far away. A man in a black robe came down from above. He could not see the man or woman, nor his figure. Soon The one went into the yard.

But others don't know her, Wu is the mother of Seven Girls, so she can see it clearly.

That is his own daughter, his biological daughter.

Wu cried her for not being able to live up to her heart, but she was afraid that her daughter was thinking about meeting her lover while she was going out, and she was afraid that all her instructions to her had been forgotten.

But Wu Shi couldn't break it, he could only say: "You read it wrong, this carriage is different from mys, it's just similar."

Fang didn't say much, and nodded as accepting the statement. He didn't go into the details, he just picked up the refreshment and stuffed it into his mouth.

In fact, the way is a bit nervous. She does this kind of thing for the first time. Even if she has annoyance to support her courage, she still keeps her heart, and eats something to be bold.

However, Mrs. Liu on the side watched, said nothing, but thought in her heart that the grandmother was afraid that she would not be able to eat dinner for some time in the future.

Fang focused on eating, but Wu's eyes looked out.

She begged for everything in her heart, but always backfired.

When he saw that one of his parents' cars was also parked outside the yard, Wu finally couldn't help but changed his face and almost threw away the chopsticks in his hand.

But Wu Shi held it back, his fingertips trembling slightly, and winked at the woman next to him.

The woman also knew about the ugly affair between her own lady and Wu Jiada Lang, so she naturally didn't dare to slacken off and went downstairs quietly, planning to find someone to hide the two people before Fang's discovery.

But when the lady went down, I saw the two coachmen and several entourages who were all drunk, and they got together with the Qi family, and there was no one sober!

On the contrary, the two women from the Qi family saw her approaching, and grabbed her: "Is the old sister free? Come on, let's have a drink together, and someone brought roast chicken, let’s eat together ."

"I do not……"

Before she could refute, she was dragged away and stuffed her mouth with a chicken drumstick. She was speechless.

And upstairs, Fang's smile was holding tea, and Wu's had a match with each other and talked, but his eyes were looking out, anxious in his heart.

After a while, I saw smoke from the back of the yard!

The smoke was huge, as if something was burning.

Fang knew in his heart that it was his own Erlang who arranged for someone to light wet firewood outside the wall behind the yard. There was smoke, but it was not easy to catch fire.

On the face, Fang's expression was contrived: "What's the matter?"

If Wu Clan could observe carefully, he would definitely be able to see that Fang Clan's performance was overdone, which is not true at all.

But at this moment, all Wu's thoughts were drawn by the small courtyard, and Fang's thoughts were not even noticed at all.

She stood up hurriedly, scolding her mother-in-law for doing things badly, and hadn't dragged anyone out for so long.

I was also a little worried, for fear that it would really start a fire, and burned his daughter and natal nephew to death.

Then I thought about it, burned to death and was embarrassed, and died clean.

But when she was thinking about it, Fang had already spoken: "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up, go all, hurry up!"

When Wu Shi heard this, he was shocked, and grabbed Fang: "This... don't go..."

As a result, Fang looked at her condemningly: "Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level Pagoda. Why doesn't the madam even know this? If you do, how can you discipline your children."

Wu:...

Inexplicably, Fang's words were a bit ironic, but before Wu's words could be spoken, Fang had already led Mrs. Liu down the stairs.

The Wu hurried to follow. She was probably too anxious. When she went out, she didn't even notice that there were no people left, and even the mother-in-law was not seen.

On the other hand, Fang took people around the yard and let them open the door and rush in to "save people."

There were already many onlookers around, but there were few lively, they were all thinking about saving people. Seeing someone came to help, the people onlookers hurriedly let the people brought by the Fang clan go in.

When he pulled out the confused Seventh Girl and Wu Dalang, Fang's eyes widened, looked at Wu and asked, "What's the matter?"

The Wu family was already a little flustered, but still calmly said: "This is my natal nephew. They grew up and are known as brothers and sisters. I want to come this time...this time also to fight fire..."

It is said here that Wu does not believe him, who knows, but Fang seems to believe it, and said in a thoughtful manner: "Seven girls are kind, it's really not easy, but you still have to run out even if you suffer from the cold like this. I'm afraid it will get worse," Fang Shi turned his head and said, "Li Langzhong, come over and show Miss Qi and Dalang Wu, don't get sick."

Wu clan was a little confused, why did Fang clan bring a doctor when he went out?

But Wu's dazed, Seven Girl was sober.

Her parents didn’t know that she was pregnant. Seventh girl thought of her mother and said that Qi Saburo must rely on her own family, so as long as he gets married early, even if Qi Saburo knows about it, he won’t show up, otherwise he will lose his face. .

But it must not be revealed now!

She struggled immediately: "No, I can't..."

"The girl is scared, Mother Liu, go find someone to help her a little bit." The Fang clan greeted people very kindly.

So two wives, one on the left and the other, clamped the Seventh Girl and forcibly held her.

Girl Lu Qi refused with the intention, but she couldn't think of a reason, and she didn't dare to make a public statement, her face blushed.

Li Langzhong used to put on the wrist of Girl Seven, squinting his eyes slightly, and then did not speak immediately, but went to see Wu Dalang again before returning.

Wu did not know the inside story, so naturally he did not panic.

But Seven Girls had collapsed on the ground, and Wu Dalang had been smoky, a little confused, and I still don’t know what the eve is.

Fang Shi was concerned and asked, "What happened to them?"

Li Langzhong smiled and said: "Maybe, it's just that I was suddenly smoked and became a little unconscious, so I can rest for a while. It's just that this girl has less than two months of fetus in the womb. When it is important, it is better to avoid intercourse. ."

As soon as he said this, it was quiet, only the occasional horse snorting from outside the door.

Wu's mouth was dumbfounded, and he really didn't know that there was still such a stubble, and subconsciously screamed: "You nonsense!"

Li Langzhong was the most shameless to underestimate his medical skills, his face sank: "There is no doubt that the pulse is slippery, the old man has never missed it, and his wife should not slander the old man."

Without waiting for Wu to speak, Fang had already burst out.

She has endured this tone for a long time, and now she finally has a reason, and naturally she has no feelings: "No wonder you are so anxious to get married, because you have such a dirty mind! My Qi family is not a merchant, nobleman, But at any rate, it’s from a Qing white family. My Saburo is a good student. After three test cases, he knows etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat, and he was teased like you! Your mother and daughter are really inhuman!"

Wu wants to refute: "You are born with mud legs..."

"Snake-snake-sounding words come from a mouthful, clever words are like springs, and the face is thick! Rotten wood cannot be carved, and walls of dung cannot be plucked!"

Wu:...

Granny Liu looked at Fang, and suddenly understood why the second young master thought it was appropriate for her grandmother to do this.

This scholar scolds others, which is why Wenjianchan is different.

Fang's scolding happily, but actually wanted to be beaten by them.It's just that Erlang told them carefully when they went out, she just gave them a vicious look, turned her head and left.

The people brought by the Qi family followed and walked away clean, leaving only Wu's daughter, whose face was smeared and cried, and Wu Dalang, who was still unconscious.

Wu Shi was trembling with anger, but she knew that she had to think about it now.

At this time, the woman who was gagged by chicken legs ran over, and Wu immediately scolded: "Where are you old things! People, where are people!"

The mother-in-law said tremblingly: "I'm all drunk by the Qi family, and I can't stand still..."

Wu froze for a moment, but her head was messed up, and she really had no idea. Today was too exciting. She had to ask her mother-in-law to find a coachman and give him enough money to close his mouth. Drive the car back.

Wu went home in fear, she couldn't even think of scolding Seven-girls, she just wondered if this matter would be a big deal, and how to explain to her husband if it was a big trouble.

Seeing her in a panic, the woman on the side hurriedly said, "Madam, it's okay. There are still people in Beijing who depend on the Qi family. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. If you don’t talk about this marriage, the girl can still see other people’s houses again. ."

Wu Clan curled his eyebrows and cursed: "Who would dare to ask her? Something embarrassing, I knew I would kill her before."

Girl Seven was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

But the Wu family didn’t know if he was comforting himself, and he said softly: “As the husband said, if the marriage fails, he will try to steal the Qi family’s brewing recipe. Now they are shameless and don’t get married. It’s no wonder that we’re feuding against us. Yes, it must be so, just shut up their mouths, or my daughter and I will have nowhere to survive.”

Later, I chanted a few more words, but the mother-in-law didn't dare to make a difference when she heard it. She lowered her head, but she cursed in her heart that she had followed the wrong master. This kind of detrimental thing could be imagined.

When she returned to the Lu family, the Wu family immediately sent someone to send the Seven Girls back to be locked up. She thought about what she had said, and planned to sue the Qi family first, and Hu said her daughter.

But as soon as I walked in, I saw several uncles from the Lu family were all around, and their faces were all ugly.

Wu Clan was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was something that had been revealed, and almost knelt down with a soft leg.

When the Patriarch of the Lu family saw her back, he sighed and said with a bit of sullenness: "Xin'er came from the capital just now, saying that the Privy Councillor was dismissed from office and sent back to his place of origin."
