Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Wu suddenly became silly.

When she came back, she had actually thought of a lot of countermeasures. In the end, no matter what method she used, she had to stop the Qi family's mouth and cry for the master to let their mother and daughter go.

Wu thought very well. Naturally, the evil kind in her daughter's belly could not be kept, but her daughter's life must be saved.

Although the Qi family’s marriage is gone, it’s okay to wait for the daughter’s body to take care of it and toss the Qi family so that they dare not speak, and then find a good family for the daughter.

After all, the Lu family’s big business is big and there are people who are backing it up, so naturally there is no need to fear that the Qi family will talk nonsense outside.

But now, the pillars in the capital have collapsed, and all the things Wu thought about just now fell through.

This time, she really weakened her legs and slumped on the ground. Her eyes were a little dazed: "Master, how could this happen... No, the adults in Beijing are Grade 3 adults. How can you just let it go?"

Even though the younger generations of the Lu family are stubborn, they can't carry it out, but the older generations of uncles and family members still know how to advance and retreat.

"Don't say this anymore. This time I caught up with the emperor to rectify the government. Many officials have been affected, including the former ministers and the remnants of the queen's party feathers. We adults are just demoted back to our original place instead of robbing our family. It's because of his old age and weakness.

After hearing these words, Wu knew that there was no room for change.

She couldn't help but shivered, her face pale, because Wu knew in her heart that without a backer, her family would have no ability to threaten people. Apart from an empty shell, the Lu family of Nuo Da was not dependent on it!

Money, New Year's ceremony, respect from others, dignity of the yamen, these are all gone.

For Wu, all of these can be ignored for the time being. The most important thing for her now is that the empty Lu family is far away from the Qi family, which is full of shops.

Now that the status is reversed, the Qi family still has its own handle. As long as the Lu family’s dismissal from office is known to the Qi family, what happened tonight... I am afraid that the paper bag is on fire, and it can't be covered.

The Patriarch of the Lu family also noticed the strangeness of the Wu family. If it was said that the Wu family was worried about the future of the Lu family just now, then the performance of the Wu family is a bit strange now.

He couldn't help standing up, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go when you left the house alone?"

The Wu family opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she had gone to the Fang family, but she was afraid that she had said that her ancestor went to the Qi family to confirm the wearer. Wu also wanted to say that she was just going out for a walk. What are you going out for?

As he was stunned, the head of the Lu family immediately looked at the woman next to Wu.

This woman was originally not very courageous, but she was even more nervous when she was caught and raped, but now she was so scared that she was lying on the ground just by looking at it.

The head of the Lu family was sure that Wu had something to hide from him, and raised his eyebrows. Now the Lu family can’t have any more twists and turns, so he didn’t look at the Wu family, but instead called someone to come in: "Go, take this The mother-in-law drags on and fights, when to tell the truth and when to stop!"

The mother-in-law was terrified, and hurriedly said, "Master, master, I said, I said all!"

Wu Clan sat paralyzed to the side, listening to the mother-in-law and telling her out, and looking at the surprised or disgusted faces of the Lu family's uncles. In the end, her eyes met the eyes of the Lu family's head.

Patriarch Lu felt that his blood was stuck in his throat, and his ears were buzzing.

The daughter had no matchmaking sex with others, and she was pregnant with an evil seed. The lady wanted to harm the Qi family, but was caught and raped on the spot...

Bitch, bitch!

But he didn't scold him, so he rolled his eyes and rolled over.

But in Qi's house, it was calm.

Qi Yun rushed to get all the land deeds on the mountain a year ago, and went to the yamen to pass the paperwork, and he completely turned the mountain into his own property.

It took Ye Jiao for a while to accept her status as the little landlord's wife. The mountain was really too big. After a few days of strolling around, she didn't finish walking. He saw that it was going to the Niangen underground again. The mountain was windy, Qi Er The family went down the mountain first to get busy with the New Year's affairs.

Doing the math, this is the third year since Little Ginseng became a human being. Compared with the previous millennium, three years is nothing, but for Ye Jiao, this is probably the happiest three years for her.

What's even happier is that there will be more than three years in the future, and Ye Jiao can't help laughing when she thinks about it here.

At this moment, Xiao Ginseng was eating tea in Liu's yard. Seeing that she was smiling to herself, Liu couldn't help asking, "Is there anything happy for the Jiao Niang?"

Ye Jiao looked up at Liu's when she heard the words, and then happily replied, "I just think that my life is good now, my grandfather is kind to me, and my family is also very good, so I feel happy."

Liu couldn't help covering his lips and laughed. There were not many people who could directly tell these things. Most of the bitterness and sweetness in everyone's hearts were hidden in their hearts, but their second daughter-in-law could say sincerely. It makes people like it.

And Fang Shi was talking about another thing: "I really heard a happy event this morning."

Ye Jiao heard the words, looked at Fang Shi, and curiously asked, "What?"

Fang's Yuanyuan had some mystery on her face, and she whispered: "I heard that the patron of the Lu family committed a crime and was sent back by the emperor's job for the people."

Ye Jiao blinked her eyes when she heard the words, and thought for a while before she remembered: "Is that the Lu family of Girl Lu Qi?"

"Yes, just their home."

This is not to blame Ye Jiao’s bad memory. Since the last time she found out that Lu Qi girl was pregnant, Qi Yun said that he would deal with it. Little Ginseng has always trusted Qi Yun very much, and listened to his own confidant. Said, she just threw the matter behind her head.

If it weren't for Fang's mentioning, I'm afraid Ye Jiao would have forgotten it.

The Liu family turned the beads in his hand and said slowly: "This is a catastrophe for the Lu family, but it is indeed a good thing for us."

The Fang family was actually relieved. Last time, relying on the anger and Qi Erlang's assurance, she dared to find the bad luck of the Lu family and watched a good show of catching the rape, but waited After returning home, Fang began to worry.

For one thing, he ate too much refreshment. In order not to grow meat, Fang had been vegetarian for a while, and he was aggrieved.

Secondly, the backer of the Lu family is a third-rank official. If the Lu family really wants to die, he might not be able to get any cheap.

Now that the Lu family's backing fell, the Fang family didn't care what he was doing. The Fang family only knew that the Lu family bastards could finally get out of their lives.

In Fang's own words, even if Wu's mother and daughter were hanging on the southeast branch now, she would not feel sorry.

But this kind of happiness can only be thought about in his heart, and Fang will not say it, because it was Qi Yun who planned the big show at the beginning, and it was himself who planned the show, and his mother-in-law and younger siblings should be completely unaware.

As a sister-in-law, it is necessary to contribute to the family. If it was something else, Fang would come back and talk countless times, for fear that others would not know what he did well, but Fang didn't want to use this matter to make things happen to his mother-in-law. Be good.

The mother-in-law is getting older and the Jiao Niang is accustomed to being a spoiled temper. It's not good to scare them.

Therefore, Fang’s happiness is quite restrained. She tried to prevent herself from laughing too presumptuously: “Mother is right, it’s a good thing for our family, especially since Saburo is preparing for the rural examination now. Without the entanglement of the Lu family, Saburo will definitely You can study scientific examinations well."

Liu nodded, looked at Fang with a smile, and at Ye Jiao, but instead of talking about the Lu family, he changed the topic: "I asked Jindian to hit two collars, stone and Xu Bao, one by one, was delivered today, just in time for you to take it back for your children to try."

Granny Liu took a tray, put it on the table, and opened the red cloth.

Inside are two collars, one large and one small, made of pure gold, because they are not made too thick to hang on the child’s neck, so as not to be too heavy on the doll, but there are hollows and silks on the top. The skills are excellent. It's not cheap to come.

Fang's eyes brightened when he saw it, and Ye Jiao was also attracted by the two shiny collars.

Liu Shi smiled and said, "The big one is stone, and the small one is Xu Bao's. Do you like it?"

Fang Shi and Ye Jiao reached out and took the collar in their hands. They nodded after hearing the words.

The Liu family turned the Buddha beads in his hand again, and said gently: "Also, my family will have a meeting at the Chinese New Year this year. I haven't decided what to sing. If you like it, go back and write the name and give it to me. Up."

Before Ye Jiao remembered, Qi Yun had said that he would invite a theater troupe. After hearing this, he knew that Qi Yun and Liu had said it. However, although Ye Jiao wanted to watch the show, she didn't quite understand it. At most, she was watching the show. , He looked at Fang: "Sister-in-law, I can do it."

Fang did not shirk, and said with a smile: "Since it is the Chinese New Year, then sing something lively, and the daughter-in-law will take care of the drama."

Liu Shi smiled, said a few more words to them, and let them go back when it was getting dark.

After the two left, the Liu family entered the small Buddha hall and knelt on the futon, but did not recite the scriptures or knock on the wooden fish, but quietly turned the Buddhist beads on his hands.

After a while, the Liu family whispered, "Mother Liu, is there really something wrong with the Lu family?"

Standing aside, Mrs. Liu replied: "Yes, madam, something really happened. I don’t know what exactly it is, but the privy scholar has indeed fallen, and if the Lu family is okay, it won’t be the Seven Girls. The sedan chair must have been carried into Wu's house and became a concubine."

When Liu heard this, the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

In fact, the Liu family knew what Fang and Qi Yun did.

Fang thought he was hiding it from him, but when Qi Yun asked Mrs. Liu to go with him, he was tantamount to telling Liu his plan.

From beginning to end, the Liu family knew it.

What's more, Mrs. Liu has been following, even if there are some details of the details, Mrs. Liu will make up for him.

Liu's family has never intervened or questioned. She never even worried, because Liu's family knew her second son best, and Qi Yun wouldn't throw things into his face if he didn't have full confidence.

It's just that Fang tried to hide it because he was afraid that he was worried. Liu remembered the kindness of his daughter-in-law, and was happy to pretend to not know it.

But now that the matter has settled, Liu asked a few more questions: "Then Miss Lu Qi's child is still there?"

"It's not clear, but it's not bad to be here. The only daughter is a concubine, so Wu is afraid that she will be too ashamed to go out in this life." The voice paused slightly, and Mrs. Liu was a little regretful. It’s cheaper for the Lu family. After all, the second young master is kind and he didn't publicize the previous things. Otherwise, the scandal of this kind of corruption will be known.

The Liu family was particularly calm: "Erlang had a plan. This is a shameful thing, even if we didn’t do anything, but even if it gets tainted, it will cause a stench and it’s not easy to get rid of it. Involving Saburo is the best result."

Mrs. Liu had seen Wu's face that night with her own eyes, and she was still a bit aggrieved: "Don't you care about them?"

On the other hand, Liu's mouth moved slightly and his voice was faint: "Don't worry about them."

If you talk about qi, the Liu family is qi.

Before, she would be angry because of Zhang's because Zhang always talked about Qi Yun's body, and pierced her heart every time she said it.

Now she is angry with Wu because Wu wants to move her third son, or in a way that is almost humiliating.

Now it’s alright. Wu’s daughter, Lu Qi, went to be a concubine for Zhang’s son, Wu Dalang. Liu felt that he would not have to see them for a while. This is what really made Liu feel comfortable. .

Turning the Buddha beads in his hand, Liu said gently: "In this world, soft knives have always been the most grind. Fortunately, my two daughters-in-laws are good, and a group and music are the most rare."

And Ye Jiao, who was praised by Liu's family, was soaking in the tub right now, slowly sprinkling petals on herself.

The sound of the water lifted up sounded pattering, went over the screen and entered Qi Yun's ears.

If it were the usual, Qi Erlang would definitely maintain a serious look, bypass the screen, and use the reason of planting petals for his wife to do things that are helpful for physical and mental pleasure.

But this time Qi Yun was red with red ears, restrained his urge to move, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, lit candles, and flipped through the letters on the couch.

This letter is a family letter from Ye Pingrong from Beijing, but Qi Yun appeared to be very solemn this time. When replying to the letter, every word was considered.

Probably because of being too serious, Qi Yun didn't realize that Ye Jiao had stepped out of the bathtub, wrapped in a thick robe, and walked behind him curiously.

It wasn't until the drops of water dripping from Ye Jiao's hair hit the back of Qi Yun's hand that he recovered.

Turning his head, the man met Ye Jiao's surging eyes.

It is now in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and it is cold outside, but the white charcoal in the house is very warm.

Ye Jiao was wrapped in her robe, her collar wide open and she didn't feel cold. From Qi Yun's perspective, she could just see her apricot tube top and large areas of white skin.

The little ginseng looked at him with clear eyes: "Msang Gong, what are you doing?"

Qi Yun's ears reddened again, and he wanted to take his own scented little lady into his arms, but Qi Yun only took a few deep breaths, stretched out his hand and spread the cloth towel hanging on his leg, and then faced it. Ye Jiao said: "Lie down, I will wipe your hair, don't catch the cold."

Ye Jiao lay down on Qi Yun's lap obediently upon hearing this. This is not the first time Qi Yun has wiped her hair. The little Rencan gently wiped her hair with her own mate.

Qi Yun's movements were very gentle and detailed.

He had always treated Ye Jiao like a treasure, even if he only wiped his hair wet, he was gentle with every stroke, for fear of touching any one.

Ye Jiao opened his eyes and looked around in a bored manner. In the end, he froze when Qi Yun saw half of the letter. She curiously asked, "Are you writing to brother?" Ye Jiao remembered clearly that Qi Yun was only giving Ye Pingrong. This kind of gold-spreading paper is used when writing letters.

Qi Yun nodded, and stroked the tips of Ye Jiao's hair while saying, "Today's letter is very important. You have to carefully consider each sentence."

"What's the matter?"

"This letter is not just for the eldest brother, but also for the emperor." Qi Yun never concealed Ye Jiao's treatment. This time it is the same. "The caravan is the money that the caravan paid. Three to seven splits. Now that the caravan is back, it has gained a lot. I will ask him if he should give him this profit."

Just this sentence, Qi Yun will not directly ask Chu Chengyun, but will ask Ye Pingrong.

Anyway, judging from the results of the previous communications, Ye Pingrong knew everything he would tell Chu Chengyun, and it was the same who asked him.

Ye Jiao was a little puzzled: "Since it was negotiated, would he still not want it?"

Qi Yun smiled, his voice softened: "This is different. If he is just a prince, then I will definitely give him the money, but now he is an emperor, whether he is competing with the people for profit is another question, just talk about the profit this time. If he takes it, our house will be an established imperial merchant. This is a major event and he naturally has to consider it."

Ye Jiao nodded. Ye Jiao never concerned about these things, so she didn't ask any more.

Qi Yun felt that Ye Jiao’s hair was half dry, so he put the cloth towel aside, and then picked up Ye Jiao’s head oil bottle, poured out some on his hand, rubbed the palms of his hands together, and then evenly rubbed them together. It was applied to Ye Jiao's hair, her fingertips were still rubbing gently on her scalp.

Kneading like this is very comfortable, Ye Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

It was Ye Jiao who helped Qi Yun to do this in the first place, but when Qi Yun learned how to do it, he gave her a way to make Ye Jiao smile comfortably.

Qi Yun continued: "In addition to this, I have to send something to that person. I agreed to the previously agreed map, and I gave him the grain seeds as a thank you gift."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but look up at him.

This time the caravan brought back a lot of things, including animal skins, herbs, and gems, but what Qi Yun valued most was those seeds.

No one knows what the seeds can grow, but they are all edible, and they grow fast. If they can really grow something, it will be a huge profit.

Now Qi Yun wants to send the seeds out. This is a great gift. I think Chu Chengyun helped a lot. Ye Jiao couldn't help asking, "Thank him for what?"

The corner of Qi Yun's mouth bends slightly: "Thank him for helping us solve a big problem, especially since I didn't ask for it, he helped. Naturally, I have to thank you twice." The voice paused. I have to send it to him in large print, and the person who wants to come will be happy to read it."

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Chu Chengyun only told Qi Yun that the official style of Master Lu was not righteous and he was going to be cleaned up. He didn't say much about it, but it was this sentence that was particularly important to Qi Yun.

Ye Jiao's concern is not here: "Msang Gong, we saved the emperor before, why don't you just say something if you want him to help?"

The logic of small ginseng is very simple, it is the most basic cause and effect to be observed as a spirit.

There is an effect if there is a cause, and there is a reward if there is grace. This is directly true of everything.

However, Qi Yun softly explained: "We are not false to him. The grace of saving lives is of course valuable, but many people who repay the favor will not end well. Moreover, that is the emperor. No matter how good his temper is, he is the best of the ninety-five years. Asking will inevitably feel that I am threatening with kindness, and suspicion will inevitably arise. Only when he helps him, we will be grateful for the return, so that the relationship can last."

Ye Jiao listened and felt that every word could be understood, but they couldn't understand it when they were put together.

Her mind is simple, even if she is now focused on learning to be a human being, it is always difficult to learn the human mind.

Little Ginseng couldn't help saying: "Msang Gong, this is so difficult, I don't understand."

Qi Yun lowered his head, kissed Ye Jiao's soft lips, and said with a smile: "It's fine, I know it."

Ye Jiao lifted her body slightly and bit Qi Yun's lip lightly, muttering, "Xiang Gong is so good."

Qi Yun didn't deepen the kiss, but after a while, let go of her.

Pulling Ye Jiao to sit on the chair next to the charcoal basin, Qi Yun said, "You can sleep only when your hair is dry."

Ye Jiao nodded obediently, and then saw that Qi Yun didn't accompany him to the fire.

The man turned around and took the gold-sprayed paper and pen and ink on the couch back to the table and sat down.

Little Ginseng looked at him with his chin resting on his face, smiling.

In fact, in Ye Jiao's heart, Qi Yun is always beautiful.

But after a long time, Ye Jiao felt that this person was especially handsome when doing things intently.

Those eyebrows, those eyes, even the slight curvature of the corners of the lips, the heart of the person who can hook it jumps.

I just wanted to pull it over and kiss him, taste it, and watch his ears turn red and listen to his shortness of breath, which is probably also a big pleasure of the small ginseng.

Qi Yun didn't know that his wife was staring at him thinking about something fascinating. He obviously valued this letter very seriously.

Although Qi Yun didn't expect to be protected by the Nine-Five Venerables, some relationships were better than okay, and he had to grasp every sentence and hide all his true thoughts in the meddling between the lines.

When he finally finished writing the letter and put down his pen, he saw Ye Jiao stand up as he started writing.

Then, without waiting for Qi Yun's reaction, Ye Jiao ran up to him and straddled Qi Yun's lap directly face to face.

This change really caught Qi Yun a little off guard. He subconsciously held on to his wife's lower back so that she would not fall, but this way he held Ye Jiao tighter in his arms.

Ye Jiao’s body was mixed with the scent of osmanthus and bath beans, probably because she had just roasted the fire, and Ye Jiao’s body was warm and fragrant. The little ginseng smiled and hung her arm on Behind the man's neck, look up at him.

Qi Yun looked down at her and asked softly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Jiao pulled his neck, leaned over to kiss his chin, and said, "Xu Bao is sleeping with his mother today."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun understood what Ye Jiao meant.

He couldn't help but put Ye Jiao into his arms, and said slowly: "I just finished writing the letter..."

In fact, what Qi Yun meant was that the letter he had just written had not been put away, and it was not easy to crumple, so he had to go to the bed for fun.

But Ye Jiao would be wrong. She loosened Qi Yun's chin and her eyes were clear and translucent: "Why don't you, I have studied the effortless method that Xianggong said last time."

...What is the effortless way?

Qi Yun had forgotten what he had said, but Ye Jiao had obviously not forgotten.

She felt that Xianggong was tired of writing today. She promised Qi Yun last time that if Xianggong is tired, the tired things can come by herself. After returning, Xiao Ginseng will concentrate on studying and finally has results.

Seeing that Qi Yun remained silent, Ye Jiao leaned forward and took a book from the shelf behind Qi Yun.

Not surprisingly, it was another four-character bizarre book.

Ye Jiao carefully searched for it with delicate fingers, and finally fixed it on one of the pages. Then she turned the book over to Qi Yun to see: "That's it, I found it. Xiang Gong is definitely not tired like this. You can just sit down, and others. I'll come."

But Ye Jiao didn't wait for Qi Yun's response. When she put the book down in front of Qi Yun in doubt, she saw that her mate's face blushed as if she had overturned cinnabar.

Ye Jiao lost the book in a hurry, stretched out her hand to hold his face, and wanted to get up: "What's wrong with you Xiang Gong?"

However, Qi Yun pulled Ye Jiao's arm down and let her sit on his lap again.

The man felt that his heart was noisy, and his ears were banging, but he still tried to make his voice more serious: "The lady who learned it is deeper than me."

Ye Jiao received the compliment and smiled with crooked eyes.

Then, I heard Qi Yun's voice hoarse: "I would like to ask the lady to let me know."

"Okay."

Ye Jiao regretted it if he did it.

After a while on the chair, and then on the bed, Ye Jiao didn't want to move a finger when the cloud rain subsided.

Before going to sleep, the little ginseng gently beat Qi Yun's chest, muttering: "Tired, next time I won't come, you come..."

Qi Yun grabbed her wrist and kissed her, patted the woman's smooth back with the other hand, coaxing her to sleep.

As for whether we will come in the future, we will talk about it then.

The letter written by Qi Yun was sent to the capital the next day. A few days later, when Ye Pingrong got the letter, he only glanced at it and entered the palace, and then directly gave the letter to Chu Chengyun. .

After reading it, Chu Chengyun raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I have my money? Yes, of course I do! Go and tell Erlang now that you can send me a son."
