Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The new Zhizhou Qi Yun didn't know him. In fact, since Shao Zhizhou was blown away by the rectification of officials, the new Zhizhou has been extremely cautious, and he has not shown much fanfare or extravagance. He has come very low-key.

Just listen to Shi Tianrui saying that he is a shrewd and capable official who can do business wherever he goes, which is a good thing for the people.

But this time, Zhizhou invited merchants to go there, mostly to recognize people and give them peace of mind.

Normally, Qi Yun would agree to this kind of thing. He has now replaced the Shao family as the largest rich man in the city. It can be said that he is a newcomer. If he wants to go steadily, he must have a good relationship.

But Qi Yun thought about his own wife's belly again. He was about to give birth in more than a month, so he asked Tiezi first: "Can you tell me the specific time?"

Tiezi handed over the invitation, and replied: "It's ten days later."

Qi Yun had the final say in his heart. At that time, Ye Jiao was eight months pregnant.

The last month is the most important thing. Qi Yun doesn’t want to leave Ye Jiao. Even though the store’s business is more important than his wife’s arrival, he shook his head at Tiezi: "No, I can’t go, wait for me to write. The letter explains clearly, you must hand it over to Master Zhizhou."

Tie Zi also guessed that it was the result, so he nodded and followed Qi Yun into the yard.

Qi Er Shao entered the bedroom, while Tie Zi stood at the door and waited obediently.

As soon as he looked up, Tiezi saw Xiaosu who was holding a copper basin. His face immediately had a smile, and he leaned in and said, "You got up really early today. Can you eat breakfast?"

Xiaosu shook his head: "I will eat later, you are still hungry, Brother Zheng, what are you doing here?"

Tiezi pointed to the door: "The second young master just went in, I'm waiting for him."

Xiao Su immediately stopped and hesitated.

Usually when the second young master and the second young grandma are alone, most of the others seldom go in and disturb, not entirely because of fear, but also because there is the second young master, he will help with everything about the second young grandma, regardless of whether it is washing her face, combing her hair or stroking her eyebrows. Painted lips, his second young master is almost almighty.

It seems superfluous for anyone to go.

But Xiaosu still knocked on the door softly, and whispered: "Second Young Master, Second Young Grandma has gotten up, I brought hot water, now send it in?"

Not long after the door was divided, Qi Yun stretched out his hand to take the basin from Xiaosu's hand, his eyes were looking at Tiezi and said, "You take Xiaosu to eat something, and you can come back in half an hour."

Tiezi happily responded, and then took Xiaosu to the small kitchen aside.

But Qi Yun took the water, closed the door with his knees, and turned back into the house.

Ye Jiao was leaning against the carved bed frame, her eyes a little dazed just after she woke up, and she yawned when Qi Yun walked over.

It was not the first time that Qi Yun saw Ye Jiao just waking up, but he liked it every time he saw it.

Fragrant cheeks are reddish, his eyes are dim, and his voice is soft: "Miangong, when is it?"

The man put aside the copper basin, took the cloth towel and put it in the wet and wrung it out. As he walked over, he said, "You woke up several times last night. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well. It's normal to snooze in the morning. Don't worry about how long. Go to sleep if you want."

Ye Jiao held her face open, obediently letting Qi Yun wipe it for herself.

After wiping his face with a warm and damp cloth, the little ginseng felt a little more energetic, and when he looked at him again, his eyes had returned to the clear and translucent of the past: "I am awake, not sleepy, but a little hungry."

Yesterday, I used to eat early for dinner, but I got up late today, so I was hungry.

When Qi Yun heard this, he put the cloth towel aside, brought the green salt water to her mouth, and said with a smile: "When I got up, I asked the small kitchen to stew porridge. Some time ago, the Zhuangzi brought pickled vegetables. , You can eat a little bit, and you will have lunch later."

Oh, it looks like I got up late again today.

Ye Jiao, who had no feeling of getting up late, rinsed her mouth, brushed her teeth with toothbrushes moistened with medicinal materials and powder made of spices, and rinsed her mouth with scented tea.

While wearing the clothes, Ye Jiao's eyes looked at the invitation on the table. Don't say Qi Yun, Ye Jiao didn't miss this item herself, and she blinked, "Ms. Gong, do you want to go out?"

Qi Yun didn't hide it from her, and while wearing a skirt to Ye Jiao, he said: "The newly appointed Zhizhou invited the merchants in the city to meet in ten days, but I was counting the time. You were the key at that time, so I thought. Quit, just stay with you, I'm afraid it will delay me helping you."

When I heard Xianggong say this, I was afraid that I would be moved in a mess.

On the other hand, ginseng has a straight temper. After hearing the words, he thought about it, and then looked at Qi Yun with some doubts: "Msang Gong, I don't understand, I have a baby. What can you do for me?"

Qi Yun paused for a while, raised his head to look at Ye Jiao, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Ye Jiao recalled her last experience: "It was Xiao Su who went to call the midwife. You brought me chicken noodle soup and fell off. Later, you waited outside and didn't need to deliver the baby. It seemed that you didn't need your help."

Qi Yun wanted to refute, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had nothing to refute.

It seems...I can't help with the baby...

This cognition made Qi Yun a little disappointed and a little distressed. He stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Jiao: "It's really hard for you, Jiao Niang."

Little Ginseng hugged him back and patted Qi Yun's back lightly. He didn't speak. After a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something. He slightly raised his head and looked at Qi Yun and said, "Speaking of which, before Ying told me that she had found a Xixi who would enlighten her children well. You might as well take the opportunity to check it out. If it's good, you can fix Xu Bao early."

Xi Xi, referring to the teacher, usually rich people will invite one to teach their children.

It is not usually so early to enlighten children, but it also varies from person to person.

Xu Bao is really smart. He never forgets to speak, and he can recognize words very quickly. Even when he is laughing and acting like a baby, he is still vague, but when it comes to reading and recognizing words, he is more enthusiastic than what he does. .

Although Qi Yun had brought Qi Ming, after all, he didn't specialize in this. It would be great if there was a Xixi who specializes in this.The Wanying that Ye Jiao said was the lady of Shizhi County's Zheng family. Everyone came out of her boudoir, and the person who wanted to introduce it would not be bad.

Besides, it is not a matter of inviting Xixi overnight. It depends on the failure of one to see the other, the sooner the better.

Qi Yun asked, "Where is Xixi that Mrs. Shi said?"

Ye Jiao pursed her lips and thought for a while, and then said: "It was in a private school in the city, Wanying said, Xu Bao is still young, if we can negotiate with this Xixi, we invite him to come every five days. It's done."

After Qi Yun heard this, he knew that Ye Jiao was letting himself go to the city. He couldn't help but lower his head to look at his wife and whispered, "The Jiao Niang is advising me?"

Ye Jiao, in his original impression, was soft and well-behaved, a good girl, but never worried about things other than eating and drinking.

But this time, Ye Jiao nodded.

She was still close to Qi Yun. Because of her big belly, it was not easy to hold this person's body, so she put her arm on the man's neck and looked at Qi Yun with a smile. The voice in her mouth was soft: Working hard for me, I know. You have things to do, and I have them. If you do yours well, you are good to me."

The words were plain and simple, without any modification, but Qi Yun could understand.

My lady is always transparent, thinking that things are different, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.

On the contrary, Ye Jiao has been trying hard to learn, learn to be a person, learn to do things, learn to love the person in front of him better.

Moreover, Ye Jiao was worried that he didn't tell Qi Yun about the matter of grass but not grass...

The little ginseng's voice was soft: "Everything has a mother, and Li Langzhong, there is still a period of time before the birth of a child. It doesn't matter if you go and come back again."

Hearing this, Qi Yun was silent for a while, nodded, and then buried his face in Ye Jiao's neck and whispered softly, "Miss, if it starts suddenly, someone must call me back."

"Okay." Ye Jiao answered, thinking in her heart, let's talk about it then.

Li Langzhong said that the child was a little different, but he didn't say what was different. Little Ginseng was thinking about the dream he had previously, for fear that the baby would really grow grass this time.

If the father-in-law is not there, I can pull up the grass early...

After waiting for ten days, Qi Yun was about to take Tiezi into the city. Before leaving, he gave a lot of warnings carefully, and the Liu family looked helpless: "You go in the morning and return in the afternoon. , Don't worry, I must take good care of my Jiao Niang."

Qi Yun nodded, knowing that there would be nothing wrong, but it is inevitable to think more about love.

The Liu family brought up another matter: "When you come back, I will bring Saburo back together. He ended the township test today, and it happened that you were together."

Qi Yun nodded and agreed, then looked at Ye Jiao again, and then let go of his hand.

But before Qi Yun turned around, he felt his sleeves tighten.

Turning his head, he was facing Shang Ye Jiao's tiptoe lips.

Rightfully kissed it.

Liu coughed slightly, and Tiezi turned his head. Xiao Su was not surprised, but Ye Jiao let go of him and smiled and said, "Miangong will come back early."

Qi Yun opened his mouth, answered, then turned his head and left, looking at the seriousness of 800, but his back always showed a posture of escape.

After he left, the Liu family also returned to his yard, and when it was almost noon, the Dong family and Li Langzhong came to the door.

This was also Qi Yun's request. When he was away, he naturally had to prepare everything he could, so he could feel at ease without fail.

Ye Jiao stretched out his hand to let Li Langzhong signal his pulse. Li Langzhong twisted his beard with one hand and put the other on Ye Jiao's wrist.

After squinting his eyes for a while, Li Langzhong opened his eyes, looked at Ye Jiao, and said slowly: "Second young lady, this time I am afraid it will be twins."

Ye Jiao was taken aback, Dong Shi looked at Ye Jiao's belly and whispered, "Two?"

"Yeah." Li Langzhong nodded, with a smile on his face, "Seeing that there are two pulses. Before, because the fetus has not yet grown, I am not sure. The women who have had twins have the same pulse. The second youngest grandmother can rest assured that the pregnancy is very good and there will be no mistakes."

When Dong Shi heard this, his face also showed a smile.

Ordinary people are longing for and afraid of twins. Ordinary people may be from poor families and cannot eat and sleep well. Having a child is a stumbling block, and two children are more prone to accidents.

But for the wealthy and wealthy, it will not be too difficult after conditioning, which is naturally a happy event.

"Birthdays of the gods and bears, Ruizhang and Liang Yao" are a good omen in this dynasty.

However, knowing that there were two babies inside, Dong Shi looked at Ye Jiao cautiously, reached out his hand to help Ye Jiao go to the inner room, carefully checked, and confirmed that she had a very good outlook.

Before leaving, Li Langzhong exhorted: "The twins are born earlier than normal fetuses. The second youngest grandmother should make preparations immediately, so as not to be in a hurry."

Ye Jiao nodded and took note, Xiao Su nodded at the side, and Lady Mo immediately went out to inform the Liu family, called the midwife, and waited.

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "You are like this, as if I am about to give birth today."

Li Langzhong would not stay beside Ye Jiao all the time, so he went to the side room to rest first.

He came here today to prepare for emergencies, so he should take refuge in leisure.

But before Li Langzhong picked up the tea cup, he heard the excitement outside, and Dong trot over, pushed the door, and shouted: "Li Langzhong, come on, Jiao Niang... Jiao Niang has started. !"
