Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

In this world, there are not many people who can keep Ye Jiao in his heart.

Ye Pingrong is obviously one of them.

When Hua Ning came back with Ye Pingrong last time, the relationship between the two of them was undecided. Hua Ning chased him tightly, but Ye Pingrong retreated quickly, seemingly unwilling to contaminate the royal marriage.

But the little ginseng is a bright eye. From the very beginning, I saw that Ye Pingrong did not refuse Hua Ning to hold his hand and knew that his brother was already happy in his heart. At that time, Ye Jiao recognized that Hua Ning was his sister-in-law.

Now that the two are finally getting married, Ye Jiao is naturally happy too.

She couldn't help but smiled and looked at Qi Yun and said, "I will definitely go there then to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law," and then Ye Jiao's voice paused, "It's just a husband, is Beijing far away?"

Perhaps for others, entering Beijing is an easy task, not a big deal, even many people are particularly keen to look inside the capital.

It is indeed a good thing that many people can't ask for, like Ye Jiao who has relatives working as officials in Beijing.

But the little ginseng is different. She said that she had lived for a thousand years before, but in fact the place where she lived was the mountain forest. She occasionally moved to avoid being poached and eaten by people or fairies. At other times, the little ginseng stayed well-behaved. In the soil, little place is moved.

Now as a human, the farthest range of activities is to go to the mountains or to the city.

Now I suddenly said that I would go to Beijing in the future, and I would like to know that it was a long journey. It would take a long time for Ye Pingrong to come back and forth from Beijing. Now it is Ye Jiao's turn, and she will inevitably feel a little worried.

In fact, Qi Yun had never been to the capital, and he didn't go much further than Ye Jiao.

However, Qi Erlang had the intention to comfort his wife: "It's not a problem, although the capital is far away, but the official road will be taken along the way, and the attendant will be brought along, so nothing will happen."

Ye Jiao looked at him, "Where are the children, follow along?"

Qi Yun didn’t immediately agree this time, but after careful calculation, he said: “Xu Bao is going to bring it. He remembers things fast now. He must study hard and lay a solid foundation and bring him around. "Then Qi Yun looked at the two little guys sleeping together in the small bed. "They didn't know anything at that time. We might not come back if we passed by. They stayed by my mother and raised them. Up."

Qi Yun didn't say everything enough. Normally Ye Jiao wouldn't ask carefully, but it's about her children, so Ye Jiao naturally wants to ask clearly: "Does it mean to live there for a long time?"

If Ye Jiao didn’t ask, Qi Yun wouldn’t be too detailed if he wanted to come, but when Ye Jiao asked, Qi Yun explained in detail: “The shops in the capital are well-run. This time I went to have a detailed calculation. If it can be bigger, I'm afraid we have to live longer."

Little Ginseng never asked Qi Yun about business matters. He was always by his side, and she didn't need to worry about the things next to him.

But hearing that it might take a long time, Ye Jiao subconsciously touched Ruyi in the small bed.

Although Xiao Ruyi was still asleep, she opened her mouth and directly bit Ye Jiao's finger.

The little mouth without teeth chuckled. Seeing that there was nothing, he let go of Ye Jiao, tilted his head and went to sleep.

Ye Jiao smoothly rubbed the little thing's saliva on the cloth towel on the side, looked at Qi Yun and said, "What can I do after a long time?"

Qi Yun said: "If things are stable over there, it is okay for us to come pick up or go to Beijing together as a family."

These words made Xiaosu who was listening to his eyes widened slightly.

For Xiao Ginseng, she didn't find anything strange, but Xiao Su had suffered from poverty and hardship since she was a child, and she never heard people outside talk about the prosperity and beauty of the capital, and she understood the concept of a family home.

It is not easy to have a house in the capital, have a livelihood, and live in peace.

In Xiao Su's heart, the capital was a courtyard made of gold and silver, and houses made of jade.

But what Qi Yun said was calm and gentle, and it didn't seem to matter, so Ye Jiao nodded and agreed.

But what Qi Yun and Ye Jiao said was simple. They didn't want her to worry about it. In fact, there were a lot of things to consider.

Who to take, how to go, and where to live are all calculated carefully.

It is common for merchants to go to Beijing, and they usually live in the courtyard behind the shop.

But Qi Yun didn't just want to go by himself, but to take his wife and children with him, and in Qi Yun's heart, her own wife had a hard time before, and she was always unwilling to be wronged.

If you can buy a house, you need to find a house. If you can buy a house directly, it’s best.

However, Qi Yun didn't intend to bother the future husband, but Ye Pingrong had his own way to detect this.

Ye Pingrong realized that his sister-in-law was going to Beijing to buy a house when the treasurer of the Qijia wine shop in the capital began to inquire about the mansion.

As soon as he talked to the princess Hua Ning about this, Hua Ning immediately looked at him and said: "Okay, it's the best that Jiao Niang can come, and I can also have a playmate."

It's not that Hua Ning lacks people to accompany her to play, on the contrary, there are many people who want to flatter her.

There is an uncle who is a great general and Chu Chengyun’s favorite sister. Hua Ning has even been assigned a fief very close to the capital, which is enough to see the favor of the current saint. The noble families in the capital naturally want to get her together. relationship.

It’s just that it’s not buying or selling that’s catching up, and the same goes for dealing with people.

It's uncomfortable to be ignored, but if you hear too much flattery, you will get bored.

Apart from entering the palace to look for Queen Meng to talk to, Hua Ning was with Ye Pingrong. She didn't bother to see the people beside her.

But Ye Jiao was different, not only because she was Ye Pingrong's sister, but also because she was a pure and simple woman, who would not be extra careful because of her high position and authority, so it was always comfortable to get along with each other.

Hua Ning also directly stopped the job of finding a house for Ye Jiao: "There are not many other houses in the capital, that is, there are many houses. The Qi family is not an official family. Those cheap confiscated industries are out of their turn, but find a suitable location. The house is also easy. It’s just that you don’t talk to the emperor brother. He is annoying lately. If there is no big happy event, don’t go to him."

Ye Pingrong couldn't help asking: "What is bothering me?" Ye Dalang couldn't help but recalled, only to feel that the weather has been good recently, and the country is peaceful, except for the previous heavy rain, it can be said to be a rare good situation, and I should be happy.

Hua Ning squeezed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it with a vague voice: "Isn't it the ministers who forced him to fill the harem with the Namei? Someone said every day. The last time I saw Brother Huang, he smiled. nothing."

Speaking of this, Ye Pingrong also shook his head.

Military commanders are different from civilian officials. If there is no military priority in the court, the generals rarely speak.

Even if Ye Pingrong is now the fourth rank of the official promotion, he is a well-known minister of the new emperor, but when he was in the dynasty, Ye Pingrong was just poking there as a decoration, or he would go out of the sky or look down at his shoes. Distracted.

But it was Ye Pingrong who didn't think about it, and he could hear the persecution of those ministers.

They seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with the emperor's harem who only petted one person, and they played in turns on the grounds that the queen had no children. Chu Chengyun was troubled by it.

Ye Pingrong had never expressed his opinion, and he didn't want to ask more, he just had to stand up and help Emperor Yanren when Chu Chengyun signaled him.

But now Hua Ning mentioned it, Ye Pingrong asked more: "The harem affairs should be regarded as the emperor's family affairs, why are they so keen on it?"

After Hua Ning finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he was holding the tea cup and squeezing the sweetness in his mouth. Hearing the words, he said: "They just want to send their own daughter into the harem, and hope to be the head of the country. Even as the mother of the future emperor, you can take this to the sky in one step."

While speaking, Hua Ning pinched another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The craftsmanship of the Linxian Pavilion in the capital is truly amazing, and when the Jiao Niang comes, she will definitely make appointments to eat with her every day.

But in my heart, he was a little bored with those aristocratic families.

They like to step on lows and hold highs the most. The icing on the cake will be rushed, and the charcoal will fall into the bottom of the well. Hua Ning has seen it before. When her mother and concubine's family Guo clan was in trouble, they did not see anyone to help. Desperately ran to find Chu Chengyun, pinned all hopes on the third brother, so as to survive.

Now that Chu Chengyun is gaining power, they are eager to catch up, and when they see the emperor's temper are good, they want to make a difference.

Dream of their big head!

Hua Ning knew about Empress Meng's methods, and behind Empress Meng was Meng's backing. He was very confident and could do whatever he wanted.

And Hua Ning didn't think that Queen Xian and her two sons really died violently. Queen Meng could do things that Chu Chengyun couldn't do. She could get rid of anyone who blocked her way.

Now, it's just that someone is uncomfortable looking for.

But these words, Hua Ning also thought about it in his heart, never dared to say it.

She looked at Ye Pingrong, and slightly lowered her voice: "It's just that they don't understand my emperor brother. Even if the emperor had a concubine before, but when the emperor was down, the only one who was willing to leave the capital to escape with him was the empress. From then on, it was destined that the queen would always be a queen, even if he had no children, the emperor would rather adopt and be expected to change his mind."

Ye Pingrong nodded, and he definitely didn't believe it when he changed someone else, but his emperor knew it himself.

He used to be the guard of the Palace of Duan and had been following Chu Chengyun, and of course he knew the friendship between Chu Chengyun and the Meng family.

Chu Chengyun is a kind and benevolent person with a high regard for love and justice. Even if the queen and a few brothers were persecuted in the first place, all he thought of was running instead of killing.

If it weren't for the final discovery that others wouldn't give him a way to survive, I'm afraid Chu Chengyun would really be able to wander around with Meng clan to the end of the sea.

This was suffering together, and Chu Chengyun was not such a hypocritical person, nor lustful, but he was afraid that he could not do anything to make Queen Meng sad.

Hua Ning looked at Ye Pingrong and said softly: "I am the same as my brother, he will not let him down if he promises to be sincere, and I am the same."

Ye Pingrong's ears suddenly reddened, and he didn't realize that this seemed to be the opposite.

All he can think of is a tough change of topic: "Actually, Jiao Niang and brother-in-law do not have to spend money to find a house when they come to Beijing. It is also possible to live with us."

Hua Ning couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

She is a princess, but the most noble, but she is very happy to spend time with Ye Jiao. The ladies next to her are tired of getting along with her husband's family, but Hua Ning hopes that Ye Jiao will come to have fun.

But there are some things that I don’t want to do. Not to mention whether my sister will let outsiders gossiping when living in the brother’s and sister’s house. He only talks about Qi Yun. Huaning heard Queen Meng talk about it many times and knew that Qi Yun looked weak. Weak, but in fact the most deserted and arrogant in my heart.

Moreover, the pain Ye Jiao was so painful that she was afraid of falling, and she was afraid of losing her. She simply didn't know what to do to her.

He could bear the things sent to others, but he wouldn't let Ye Jiao suffer.

It’s just that Hua Ning didn’t directly say these words, but gently held Ye Pingrong’s hand and said with a smile: “They came because we got married, and they watched the ceremony. At that time, you and I are newly married, and I’m sure to live with them. ?"

Ye Pingrong didn't have red ears this time, but blushed. He stood up immediately, threw a sentence "to reply to his brother-in-law," and ran away, while Hua Ning stared at him from the back and laughed so hard that he could not hold back.

When Ye Pingrong's letter arrived at Qi's house, it happened to be the day when Ye Jiao should be in confinement.

Ordinary people only spend 30 days in confinement, but both Qi Yun and Liu insisted that Ye Jiao should raise them for a while, so they sat for forty days like last time before they could go out.

However, after "Regaining Freedom", it was not Ye Jiao who was happiest, but Xu Bao.

He was always attached to Ye Jiao. After he had younger siblings, Xu Bao was so good that he knew that he could not make noise to his mother. Every time he obediently endorsed and talked, he would just lie next to Ye Jiao to see his younger siblings. Nothing is required.

Now that my mother can go out, and Ning Bao Ruyi can also come out, Xu Bao is the happiest.

He even became obsessed with running to see the children every day, and then standing next to the crib where he had slept in the same way, endorsing his brothers and sisters. Ye Jiao once asked him why he did this. Xu Bao answered with confidence. : "Let them know how good I am!"

Ye Jiao didn't understand why Xu Bao wanted to say this to the children who couldn't understand. When asking Qi Yun, a man was unavoidable and would not answer.

Just because he said to Xu Bao, as for the reason...

Ning Bao and Ruyi didn't understand what they said, Xu Bao went to bother them... No, it was good to share the beautiful and colorful colors in the book with them.

As long as you don't come to yourself, everything is easy to say.

When Xu Bao ran to find his younger siblings to "play" again, Qi Yun gave Ye Pingrong's reply to Ye Jiao, and said, "This matter is left to my brother and sister-in-law."

In the past, Qi Yun would honestly yell separately, but Ye Jiao always called Huaning's wife, and Qi Yun followed.

Ye Jiao nodded too, but still thought about it, "Then we have to bring something to thank them."

Qi Yun also felt that this should be the case, not only for looking for a house, but also because Ye Pingrong had been very careful in finding a shop for Qi Yun before.

Then Qi Yun listened to Ye Jiao: "It's not uncommon to see farewells. It's better to divide the book among them, as you can use it if you want."

Qi Erlang was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What book?"

"Just before Xianggong, the books you brought back were just pictures without words."

Qi Yun:...

But in the end Qi Yun still agreed, but it should be given away privately. They... definitely can use it.

After the confinement, Ye Jiao cleaned her face, and then sat in a chair obediently, letting Qi Yun draw her eyebrows with her head held high.

Men have long been used to doing these things, even if they haven't done them for more than a month, it is easy to pick up things that are already familiar.

He took the Luozidai that he had just obtained and drew it to Ye Jiao. Qi Yun's voice was soft: "Just now Mother Liu came and said that my mother got a coconut. Now it is very rare to have coconuts at this time, Niangrang Someone made coconut cakes, you can go over and try it."

Regarding eating, Little Ginseng never gave up the pursuit, and immediately nodded after hearing this: "Okay, will you go with me?"

Qi Yun changed his eyebrows and drew on the other side, and said, "I won't go anymore. I will see Mr. Feng later, and ask him if he is happy to go to Beijing with us, and then go to the front of the government office to help the third brother see the list. ."

Ye Jiao remembered that in addition to the day when she gave birth to her baby in August, it was also the day when Qi Mingxiang finished the exam.

Counting time, it's time to put it on the list.

Even though Xiao Ginseng has not studied the way of imperial examination, she is very concerned about Qi Ming.

Not only because Qi Ming was from his own family, but also because Qi Ming was enlightened by Qi Yun.

She has always believed that her husband can teach the champion.

So Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun with some excitement: "Look at Xiang Gong, Saburo will do well in the exam!"

Qi Yun didn't quite understand where this kind of excitement came from, but he didn't ask deeply. When the Luo Zidai was picked up, the man held the woman's face and looked at it carefully, and then leaned in to kiss him.

Lips with mouth fat are a little sweeter than usual, and you can taste some peach blossoms. I want to come this time Ye Jiao uses peach blossoms.

Ye Jiao let him kiss, and hung Qi Yun's neck, and bit his lower lip with a smile.

When Qi Yun tried to restrain himself from leaving, there was still a hint of peach blossom in his mouth.

This time Qi Yun went to the city, much easier than last time.

Before, I remembered Ye Jiao and the child in her stomach, even when they were sitting on the carriage, they felt like nails were growing under them and couldn't sit still.

Now it's different. The Jiao Niang is safe and the child is healthy. Nothing is more happy than this.

Qi Yun did not go to the school this time, but went straight to Feng Xiucai's home.

Going to Beijing is not an ordinary thing. Even if Qi Yun is sure that he can live a good life, Feng Xiucai is only Mr. Xixi who came to teach with the money. He did not sell him to you. If he doesn't want this job, he can leave at any time.

Qi Yun originally thought that Feng Xiucai would not follow, but out of respect, and because Xu Bao especially liked Feng Xiucai, Qi Yun made this trip.

Who knows, after hearing Qi Yun's words, Feng Xiucai agreed without saying a word.

He is a hearty, and he smiled brilliantly. He didn't even hesitate to reply directly: "Xu Bao is the best kid I have ever seen. I like teaching, but everyone likes to teach a smart and clever one. If Qi Er takes care of my food and accommodation, then I can follow him wherever he goes.

There is still half a sentence, Feng Xiucai did not say clearly.

He is now hopeless in his career. Feng Xiucai is from a well-earned family and has no worries about food and clothing.

But if you don't go back to the exam, you will always feel a little unwilling.

Xu Bao is the smartest child he has ever seen. In Feng Xiucai's view, the future is boundless.

Such a student can bring one well in his lifetime is merit.

Take another 10,000 steps, and Qi Yun's family background and ability needless to say, who does not know the ten miles and eight villages?The treatment of being a Xixi in his house is not bad.

I heard that Xu Bao was born again, and when Xu Bao grew up, the two children had to be enlightened again. After ten years of worry-free calculation, going to the capital would naturally be no problem.

Qi Yun didn’t care about Feng Xiucai’s original intentions. It was the best thing for him to follow along. It would be great to have a knowledgeable Xixi at home. Qi Yun immediately called someone to draw up the document and discuss it. After Yueyin, he signed with Feng Xiucai.

After pressing the handprint, Feng Xiucai is no longer the teacher of the private school, but the Xixi of the Qi family.

Qi Yun generously gave him a hundred guan, so that he could give it to his parents to explain. Feng Xiucai felt in his heart that this Qi family is really rich and powerful. A hundred guan people can't save it for ten years. They just give it out. Yes, it doesn't hurt at all.

But this also gave Feng Xiucai the confidence that it is better to have a wealthy family than to be precarious, and he can be regarded as finding himself a reliable boss to rely on.

After leaving Feng Xiucai's house, Qi Yun went to a tea shop.

However, he didn't bring the iron, but asked him to watch the list first, and squeeze to the front early, otherwise the list at the government office is too big and there are too many people, I am afraid that I can't recognize it if I stand far away.

When Tiezi had gone, Qi Yun took the carriage to the tea shop.

There are not many tea shops in the city, and there are only five tea shops in the city. Three of them are still in the Qijia industry.

This time Shi Tianrui chose Qi's tea shop. When Qi Yun arrived, he was seeing Shi Tianrui listening intently.

The storyteller sitting on the table in front was particularly involved. They were all in the late autumn, still holding a paper fan, a blue shirt, and a board in the other hand, and they were talking about a new book.

Qi Yun didn't say anything. He stood and listened, and he heard that the storyteller was telling a story about a rich couple and his wife.

They have a deep love between husband and wife, and there are many clan elders who force men to take concubines, but the man is a straightforward man, and he cherishes his wife very much. In the end, his relatives will eventually become relatives, and he will have a couple of people in his lifetime.

This is actually not a new story, that is, the story told by the storyteller is very wonderful, especially the urgent and sinister faces of those clan elders are portrayed vividly.

It's just that Qi Yun felt that some of the details inside were particularly hidden and familiar.

For example, a man was persecuted by his aunt's mother in his family, another example was the assassination of his aunt's brother, and a fairy gave a man a magic drug to save him from the dead...

Although Qi Yun didn't know who came out of this, he didn't plan to stop it.

Since it can spread, it proves that there is someone above it, so it doesn't hurt to listen.

It's just that her own sweetheart has become a fairy, which still makes Qi Yun happy.

When the book was over, Qi Yun walked towards Shi Tianrui.

Shi Tianrui could actually hear the hint, but he didn't change his expression, he was caressed in his heart, his face was calm, and he could even keep smiling when Qi Yun walked over, without the slightest discoloration.

But before he went to say hello, I saw Tiezi hurried in from outside.

Shi Tianrui thought of getting up to meet Qi Yun, and seeing Tiezi, he stretched out his hand without speaking.

Qi Yun looked at Tiezi and said, "How is it?"

Tiezi gasped for two breaths, and then said loudly, "Congratulations to the boss, the three young masters raised it!"
