Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The capital looks big, but the relationship is so intertwined that I can't hide anything.

What's more, Chu Chengyun didn't let people deliberately conceal it. He wrote openly and asked people to make a plaque. The news naturally flew out like wings.

But for whom this plaque was made for and what words were written on it, no one went to inquire.

It’s not that they couldn’t hear it, but because the people in the capital knew carefully that the new emperor wanted them to scan for the news, deliberately threw a straight hook to fish, and really bite. Really didn't make sense.

As for whether Chu Chengyun really thought so, no one knew, but no one was willing to take risks.

But Ye Pingrong could know what Chu Chengyun wanted to do with his eyes closed.

But he didn't say this to anyone, only revealed one or two when he was riding a horse with Hua Ning.

"You mean, the emperor wants to reward the Qi family?" Hua Ning slightly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looking at Ye Pingrong with some surprise.

Ye Pingrong nodded, did not speak, but first bent his bow and set an arrow, hitting the bullseye with one arrow, and then replied: "Recently, there is really nothing to celebrate. The emperor's heart-warming award, that is, brother-in-law One family, and what they do is worth a golden plaque."

Putting the whole family's efforts to save the people from fire and water is no longer just an act of righteousness, but kindness.

He said it was unfounded, but as long as Chu Chengyun sent someone to investigate it for a while, it would be clear.

To denounce the county Cheng and the magistrate, Chu Chengyun had already sent someone to investigate.

Then this plaque can only be used to reward the Qi family.

Compared to the general Ye Pingrong, Hua Ning knew a little bit about Chu Chengyun. She thought about it for a while, and said: "This plaque, if you want to come to our brother-in-law, is the real transfer."

Ye Pingrong was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Princess Hua Ning looked at Ye Pingrong with a smile, and pointed to the forest not far away: "Then you say something nice, or go to the forest to hunt me something and give me a meal for lunch, I will say ."

In fact, even if Ye Pingrong didn't do anything, Hua Ning would tell him that this was just a little fun between two people. If Ye Pingrong really came to say a few good things, Hua Ning would definitely tell him everything.

Who knows, Ye Pingrong turned his horse's head, pinched the horse's belly, and galloped out with a bunch of white-haired steeds on his forehead, and soon went into the woods and saw no one.

The entourage on the side hurriedly followed, while Hua Ning stayed in place, staring, but soon his face showed a little helplessness.

Forget it, if you ask yourself, others will follow suit. Isn't this very obedient?

But next time he won't be given a chance to choose one of the two. This guy who is so straightforward to see should give a clear instruction before he knows what to do.

When Ye Pingrong came back with the hare and pheasant, Hua Ning had no displeasure on his face, and smiled and said to Ye Pingrong: "Dalang is really amazing, it's only half an hour," and then he faced the palace that followed. Humane, "Go, stew the chicken and roast the rabbit."

Ye Pingrong immediately said: "The white one stays, I will catch it alive."

Hua Ning was taken aback for a moment: "What is the job hunter doing?"

Ye Dalang coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "White is good-looking, and it's good if you keep it."

The people around lowered their heads in a particularly knowing and interesting manner, while Hua Ning glanced at the white rabbit with a smile on his face.

She has always been spoiled, but she has raised animals, but she has raised tigers and eagles, but never rabbits.

If someone else sent her to her, she would definitely not want it, but Ye Pingrong gave it to her, she naturally liked it.

Hua Ning leaned forward immediately, lifted the white rabbit up and held it in his arms, and rubbed it carefully. She was so soft and soft by this soft thing that she slapped her hair a few times and felt white. The rabbit is really good-looking, and it's also good to be a hand warmer.

After Hua Ning got off the horse, he still hugged the little white rabbit, and went to the pavilion with Ye Pingrong to sit and rest.

Ye Pingrong looked at Hua Ning and said, "Princess, can you tell me what you just said?"

When Hua Ning heard this, he knew that this person was hunting pheasants and rabbits. I was afraid it was all to please himself, but Hua Ning thought it was very good. Since they were pleased, they would accept it. Deliberately hypocritical.

She touched the little rabbit again, and then slowly said: "Although I don't know how deeply the emperor brother is related to the Qi family, since the emperor brother has a good relationship with them, then Qi Erlang has already stepped into the emperor. The threshold of Shang. Now that the emperor's plaque is on the plaque, he has walked a clear road, and the road for the Qi family will naturally go much easier."

Ye Pingrong thought for a while and said, "If the brother-in-law wants to do business in the capital, would it be easier?"

Hua Ning smiled and said: "Not necessarily. After all, behind the shops in the capital, most of the people standing behind are Chaozhong elders. Just a plaque is not enough for him to walk sideways, but it's enough to stand, and there is no you. You work hard, you can always support them."

Ye Pingrong nodded solemnly, and then wondered whether he wanted to get more errands.

But he didn't know that if he spoke, Hua Ning's uncle would be General Hussar, and the promotion of military attache was not as cumbersome as civil servants. As long as General Guo nodded, he would go up.

But Hua Ning wouldn't remind him of this, just staring at Ye Pingrong with a smile on his chin.

She likes Ye Pingrong because she likes this straightforwardness. Naturally, she doesn't want to lose his honesty. What's more, Ye Pingrong is not a member of the Guo family, but a close minister of the emperor. The promotion is left to the emperor's brother, she Intervened but affected Ye Pingrong's future.

Ye Pingrong still cares about Ye Jiao: "Do you want to tell Jiao Niang about this, so that they can also be prepared?"

Hua Ning shook his head: "It's better not to say, the younger sister has a double body, give her less things, besides, this plaque is sent over the open road, but there are a lot of yamen to go through, I'm afraid it will take a while. If it’s not delivered, you don’t know it and don’t bother them."

Ye Pingrong felt that Hua Ning was right, so he nodded, his face relaxed.

But the princess Hua Ning was not going to let him go like this, silently stretched out her hand, and gently grabbed Ye Pingrong's fingertips.

This made Ye Pingrong startled. He didn't take his hand back, but looked at Hua Ning: "Princess, men and women are not giving or receiving marriage."

Hua Ning squinted his eyes: "What did you say before and kissed before, right?"

Ye Pingrong let out a light cough, "Well, I asked it again, only after marriage."

"Aren't we getting married next year? Now, what do you think I am?"

"Before they got married, the princess was the master of Ping Rong."

This is justified, but not very pleasing.

Hua Ning laughed instead. Not only did he not let go, but he held it tighter: "Since the general regards me as the master, I will now let you take my hand and send me back to the house, would you like it?"

Ye Ping Rong pursed his lower lip, looked at Hua Ning, and suddenly squeezed her hand with his backhand, stood up and said, "Yes, I will escort the princess in my humble position."

Hua Ning was taken aback for a moment, then stood up with a smile, and walked to Ye Pingrong a few steps.

And in her heart, Hua Ning was a little grateful to Qi Erlang for making up a lie to fool this silly boy. When she turned around, Jiao Niang gave birth to a child, she must back up the gift.

At this moment, in the Qi family, the distribution of grain has been completed one after another, and the tenants have gradually returned to the Zhuangzi. I heard that several of them also worshipped the Qi family.

Even if the Qi family hasn't swaggered, everyone has their own account.

Normally, those who like to talk cool words will not be sour at this time. After all, what they bring out is real grain, and what they give is real money. Even for fame and fortune, those who can do this step Less, not to mention the fact that they haven't competed for fame at all, making it more and more rare.

Nowadays, when the Liu clan burns incense, he often meets people who come to pray for himself, once or twice, but the more often, the Liu clan is a little unwilling to go to the temple, otherwise he would walk all the way. She is not a Bodhisattva, so she can't stand it.

When he had free time, the Liu family called the two daughters-in-law to talk and chat, or else they would go to the garden to see the flowers and birds. The days were leisurely.

When I was looking at the garden together this day, the sun was a bit bigger than usual. Liu Clan went to sit in the porch and rested before he walked far, and said to Mrs. Liu: "Find a soft cushion. Be careful."

Ye Jiao took it and sat down and said, "Mother, Li Langzhong came to see him before, and he said that he is steady. You don't need to be so cautious. You have to walk a lot."

The Liu family also had three children. Naturally, she knew that she couldn’t always stay in the house when she was pregnant. He walked more every day to go smoothly. But before Li Langzhong said that Ye Jiao needed to be cautious, and Liu family was particularly worried because of Qi Yun’s congenital deficiencies. For fear that Ye Jiao would repeat the same mistakes, she took more care of her.

Now that Ye Jiao is fine, Liu's nodded, with a gentle voice: "That's good, Erlang is busy these days, if you want to walk out, call me and your sister-in-law, or bring Xubao, more Just be more careful."

Ye Jiao replied, very well-behaved, her hand quietly took a piece of glutinous rice cake from the table.

Knowing that she loves to eat, Liu clan didn't bother her to eat and drink anymore, instead looked at Fang clan and asked, "Has Da Lang come back these few days?"

Fang's plump, he loves to sweat as soon as the sun shines. At this moment, he is holding a kerchief and wiping his forehead. After listening to Liu's words, Fang replied: "I came back twice, but left soon. Zhuangzi still needs to take care of things above him, and I am afraid that these days I have to live above Zhuangzi."

Liu nodded, turned the beads, and said with a smile: "If he has something to hide from you, tell your mother, your mother will help you scold him."

When he said this, although his tone sounded like a joke, the Liu family was extremely sincere.

Qi Zhao had told Liu beforehand about opening the warehouse to release grain, but Liu didn't know if he had discussed with Fang. He took a step back and thought, whether or not the business had been discussed, Liu felt that the eldest daughter-in-law must be uncomfortable.

This is a good thing. It can gather people's hearts and accumulate merit. Da Lang did it right.

However, the relationship between husband and wife must be taken into consideration.

The Liu family thought, if they really have any suspicions because of this, then it would be better to bring the matter to themselves than to affect the relationship between the young couple.

However, the Fang clan was much more open than the Liu clan, and he said directly: "Mother is talking about feeding grain before? I know about that. He told me, and I agree."

As soon as the words came out, Liu clan looked at Fang clan in surprise, as if he didn't expect his eldest daughter-in-law to say this, he couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel bad?"

Fang took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and replied: "Distressed, it hurts terribly, especially on the day when the grain was released, I had a heartache and a headache, and I had a stomachache, and I didn't sleep all night... but it hurts again. I can't refute Da Lang. What he said is reasonable. He takes a long time to cover his tears and mourns the hardship of the people's livelihood. The parents are separated and there is no love. Fortunately, the rich people can save the strong man.

Liu's:...

Ye Jiao: ...Why can't I understand what the sister-in-law said?

The Liu family was sure that the last few words were definitely not what her Dalang said, but she could also hear Fang's thoughts.

This was right. The Fang family didn't object, but it couldn't stop the pain in her heart. Taking her food was to gouge the meat from her heart, but the Fang family accepted the meat for Qi Zhao's sake.

Liu clan couldn't help but smile, and handed the prayer beads he was holding to Liu clan, and said with a smile: "Take it, calm down, it's good for your body."

Fang was stunned. Normally she really liked to ask for things from Liu's to take advantage of it, but it was the first time her mother-in-law gave her her belongings so actively.

When he took it quickly, Fang smiled and bowed to Liu's, holding the Buddha beads in his hands with a narrow smile on his face.

When the sun rose again, Ye Jiao guessed that Xu Bao should wake up, so she went back to her yard first.

As soon as I walked in, I heard Xu Bao's voice.

"mother!"

This voice could be said to be extremely loud, even Ye Jiao could hear it in the yard.

Busy to the wing, Ye Jiao saw Xu Bao, who was sitting on the bed holding cloth tiger, eagerly holding the window and looking out, turning his head left and right until he saw Ye Jiao enter the door, the little fat man. Then he threw the cloth tiger, got up from the small bed, and walked towards Ye Jiao with short legs.

Ye Jiao sat on the side of the bed and reached out to support him, just like this, holding his little hand to support him while standing, but his eyes were turned towards Granny Mo and asked, "What's wrong with Xu Bao?"

Mrs. Mo smiled and said: "The young master is very behaved. When he woke up, he said he was hungry and ate something. Then he kept reading the book. It was not noisy or noisy. I just saw the second grandma from the window. Shouting."

Xu Bao nodded, not knowing if he understood what Mrs. Mo said, but Xu Bao always only listened to the words that praised himself, and immediately said softly: "Xu Bao, baby."

What Ye Jiao couldn't stand the most was the cuteness of her son. She lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead, wanting to hold him on her lap.

But Xu Bao kept remembering Qi Yun’s words, his father said that his mother can’t touch her belly, so he didn’t want Ye Jiao to hold him. He just sat beside Ye Jiao with his round head leaning against Ye Jiao’s waist and playing with his paws. Er holding Ye Jiao's fingers.

The little ginseng looked at the book on the couch.

The last time I heard that Xu Bao was reading, it was the child who read the "San Zi Jing" backwards. Xu Bao could not read the characters, but he just saw many adults reading, so he just followed to learn.

This time I was reading a picture book. The pictures on it are all kinds of short stories, which is a joy for the children.

Little Ginseng has just grown into an adult, except for the four-character bizarre book before, I haven't seen any other picture books. I found it interesting at the moment, so I brought it over and read it with Xu Bao.

It's just that the sun is warm in the afternoon, sprinkling on the body hot, especially hypnotic.

Holding the book and looking at it, Ye Jiao's eyelids started fighting, and it didn't take long for him to lie down and sleep with Xu Bao.

Xu Bao, who just woke up just now, was still in good spirits, struggling to get out of Ye Jiao’s hand, took the book and looked at him, he was happy with himself, and didn’t know what he was having fun, and then lost the book and took the cloth. The tiger lay by his side to play, humming and humming words that only he could understand, and when he was tired from playing, he asked Granny Mo to feed the porridge again, and Ye Jiao woke up.

Xiao Su, who had been waiting outside for a while, came in to help Ye Jiao to get up, and said softly: "Second young lady, someone just passed a post, saying that she wants to invite Second Young Master and Second Young Master to have tea in two days."

Ye Jiao rubbed her eyes and wiped her face with a warm veil before asking, "Whose post?"

"The post from the magistrate, the newly appointed prefect, also go."

Newly appointed?Isn't it the county prime minister who changed last year?

Ye Jiao blinked, thinking that it is not easy to be an official. She changes people at every turn. Like a leek, she cuts a stubble and grows a stubble. He asks, "May I say I want to go?"

"Second Young Master agreed."

"Just listen to Xianggong's arrangement." Ye Jiao stood up, knocked on the sun outside, and smiled when he saw that the sun was drooping a little, "It's still early, go, take Xubao. Go around outside."

Because Ye Jiao needs to be careful when walking around, Xu Bao is also at the age of running and jumping. Every time the mother and child go out, several people must follow.

Ye Jiao also had her ingenuity to make Madam Mo twist a soft and strong rope. The front was a cloth strip, wrapped around Xu Bao's body. If he was about to fall or trip over, he could pull it to save the child from falling. At the same time, it can also prevent the child from running away.

But as long as he goes out with Ye Jiao, Xu Bao always sticks to Ye Jiao and follows her with short legs, never running far by himself.

Because Li Langzhong made sure that Ye Jiao was sitting firmly on her fetus, she walked a little farther this time, not only spinning around her yard, but going around the yard where she had seen Meihua before.

Now that it is early April, there are naturally no plum blossoms to see, but the peach blossoms are just right.

The Qi family held up the cloth before it rained, and the few peach blossom trees they planted did not bloom after being wet by the rain. Although they were not as lively as in previous years, they were still beautiful.

Ye Jiao sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, while Xu Bao was "led" by Xiao Su and ran under the tree to look at the flowers.

Xiao Su followed Xu Bao closely, taking extra care.

But she took the time to look up at the courtyard wall.

It's only a wall away from the courtyard where Xiao Hei is next to him. Normal Xiao Hei likes to walk back and forth on the courtyard wall, just like patrolling the territory, but today he didn't see it.

It's not that Xiao Su is worried about Xiao Hei's safety, but because she is used to Xiao Hei's daily life, and is afraid that it will be dishonest this time.

Xu Bao stood under the tree with his head high, looked for a while, then squatted down to pick up the petals on the ground.

His hands are small and chubby. He can't pick up much, but he is not greedy. He can take as much as he can. Carefully grasping the petals, he ran towards Ye Jiao, and happily handed it to her: "Mother, Huahua. "

Ye Jiao hurriedly reached out to take it, and looked at the scattered petals in her hand, but she was inexplicably moved in her heart.

Little ginseng actually had no idea about being a mother. Xu Baolai's accident and smooth life probably meant that Ye Jiao had an extra little thing that she cared about and loved, but she didn't have any other feelings.

But now, looking at this little fat man who smiled and stuffed himself with broken petals, Ye Jiao suddenly had a mood that he had never had before.

This is my son, so good.

Reaching out and holding Xu Bao, a solid kiss was placed on his chubby cheek. Ye Jiao said to Mrs. Mo, "Bring some milk cake."

If her son is kind to her, she naturally wants to encourage her. As for what kind of encouragement to use... Little Ginseng thinks that eating is the best.

Fortunately, Xu Bao followed her. He was particularly passionate about milk cakes and clapped his hands with a smile.

But it was not Mrs. Mo who brought the milk cake, but Qi Yun.

These days Qi Erlang has been busy earning back the money he sent out. Today, there is a little less business. As soon as he left the study, he went straight to his yard. He met Mrs. Mo on the road and came over with milk cake.

As soon as he stepped into the moon gate of the yard, he saw his wife and children standing under the peach blossom tree.

Ye Jiao looked down at Xu Bao. Xu Bao held Ye Jiao's calf and looked at her eagerly. This scene made Qi Yun feel sour and sweet.

Unable to speed up his pace, Qi Yun handed the milk cake plate to Xiaosu, and then gently wrapped Ye Jiao's shoulders, and whispered, "My daughter, are you tired?"

Ye Jiao looked back at him with some surprise: "Have you done your business?"

"Well, today the caravan set off, and Song Guan will take care of it." With that, Qi Yun glanced at the little fat man, and then said to Xiao Su, "Hold Xubao to eat, look after him."

Xiao Su responded, lowered his head and picked up Xiao Pang Dun and walked to the stone table.

Although Xu Bao wanted to hold his mother's leg more, he was already taken away by Xiao Su before he could object.

Xu Bao stared at the bottom of the tree over there. His parents stood together, getting closer and closer, and they were about to be attached. He squashed his mouth, twisted in Xiao Su’s arms, and said softly: "Xu Bao eats it himself."

Xiao Su put him on the ground, wiped his hands with a kerchief, and then put the plate on a relatively short stone bench so that he could hold it and eat.

Xu Bao stretched out his hand and grabbed a milk cake, bit it on, a smile immediately appeared on his face, cheerfully.

Mother Mo was watching, and she couldn't help but nod her head. She was happy when she had food. The young master was very entertaining.

The milk cakes for children are generally not big, and children can eat them in three or two bites. Because Xu Bao just drank porridge and ate half an egg, Mrs. Mo was afraid that he would make it. Only two came over.

Xu Bao took one, bit by bit after eating, and then wanted to get another one.

But without waiting for him to do anything, Xiao Hei, who had been hiding under the table just now, suddenly poked out his head and plunged his beak into the milk cake on the plate with precision, just let the milk cake hang on his beak, fluttering his wings and turning his head run.

The whole process was quick and efficient, and the chubby Xu Bao had no time to react, and the plate was empty.

He was a little confused, first looked at the plate, then at his free hand, staring at him, and crying when his mouth was flat.

Xiao Su felt tense when he saw Xiao Hei, and when he saw it run away, his heart sank again. Suddenly he felt that Xiao Hei was working on making himself a pot of soup again...

Seeing Xu Bao's face was wrong, Xiao Su squatted down and said to Xu Bao: "Little Master, Little Master, don't cry, I'll get you another plate of milk cake, OK?"

Xu Bao held his mouth and said nothing.

Xiao Su was cruel and said: "Then, I will make a kite for the young master, a chicken feather kite. It is very beautiful, okay?"
