Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

When Ye Jiao and Zheng Clan arrived in the front hall, Shi Clan was already sitting with Shi Tianrui and talking.

This is Shi Tianrui's return after leaving Beijing. He hasn't seen him for a long time. When Shi saw him, his tears flowed, his voice choked, and he was not as calm and capable as usual.

Shi Tianrui looked at her with distress and guilt. When Shi Shi got married, he was still a talent, and he had never obtained a fame that could help him. At that time, Wen Minsong treated Shi Shi well, and Shi also put his heart on Wen Minsong, Shi Tianrui. Just nodded.

Later, when Shi Tianrui held it up, Wen Minsong's treatment of Shi became better. Who could guess that it was a white-eyed wolf who criticized him.

Until Shi Tianrui left Beijing, he didn't know that Wen Minsong actually acted like this.

The Bianshi clan has a strict mouth, and feels that Shi Tianrui's life is not easy to be banished from Beijing, so he has never complained.

Now Shi Tianrui is also scared after a while. He is a temperament who is used to taking mistakes on his body. At this time, seeing his sister crying, Shi Tianrui clenched his teeth tightly, feeling that he was about to bite his mouth and bleeding, and finally said: "Xiu'er, don't worry, my brother will not let go of that beast. Now... it's also my brother's fault. My brother is sorry for you and my parents."

Shi Shi shook her head. She knew Shi Tianrui's difficulties, and it was the Wen family who was wrong. She had no reason to seek revenge from her own brother.

It's just that Shi Shi held these words in his mouth, but he couldn't say it. He was really crying and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Ye Jiao put the Ruyi she was holding into Xiao Su's arms, then walked quickly over and sat next to Shi Shi.

She had never seen this person cry like this before, even when she was dead before, Shi was faint, and had never been so excited. Now, Ye Jiao looked at Shi Tianrui with some doubts.

Shi Tianrui felt ashamed at first. Ye Jiao felt even more uncomfortable when he saw it. He stood up and wanted to say something, but his voice stopped and he turned to look at Zheng.

The Zheng knew that Shi Tianrui was sad, and Zheng himself really wanted to live with her. In addition, Shi and Ye Jiao and the princess Hua Ning are also affectionate. Of course, the closer the better, the better, he said: "Your sister It’s my sister, who should take care of each other."

With gratitude in Shi Tianrui's eyes, he nodded to Zheng, and then looked at Shi.

But just before Shi Tianrui spoke, Shi shook his head again, patted Ye Jiao's hand to indicate that he was fine, then got up, wiped his eyes with a kerchief, and said dumbly: "Brother and sister-in-law treat me well, I I know, but now my sister is independent and has an orchard, so she can survive, so she dare not trouble her brother and sister."

Seeing that Shi Tianrui wanted to say something more, Shi looked at Ye Jiao, and reached out to hold her.

Shi Tianrui realized that he was still in the Qi family now, and that his family affairs would not make trouble in front of others, so he held his mind and said to Qi Yun: "I lost my temper for a while, but I hope Erlang is not surprised."

Qi Yun, who had never spoken, was holding Ning Bao at this moment, and he said: “It’s a good thing, Master Shi’s brother and sister reunion is a happy event, and it’s normal for people to forget their form,” Qi Yun looked at Ning Bao in his arms. Turning to Shi Tianrui, "Master Shi has helped my family a lot, why don't you stay for a bite?"

Shi Tianrui also sorted out his mood, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Erlang."

During the meal, no one talked about the things just now, but laughed and said something funny, plus three milk dolls also came up to ask someone to feed, naturally there was endless laughter.

After the meal was over, the Shi family left, and the Shi family followed. Obviously, there were a lot of things to discuss with Shi Tianrui.

Ye Jiao said to Qi Yun after they left: "Yingxiu really wants to live with them?"

Qi Yun asked people to hug Xubao to sleep first. Longfeng Tire, he and Ye Jiao held one by one, and coaxed the two little guys to drink water. After Qi Yun said: "No, their brothers and sisters will definitely not Live in a door."

Ye Jiao blinked: "Why?"

Qi Yun took the veil and wiped the corners of his mouth with the two children, but his eyes were looking at Ye Jiao and said, "Now that the Shi clan has set up a female household, he can buy his own property. There is no need to go to Master Shi to help. This is how people get along with each other. After they get married, they are two families. Even if they are sincerely close, they can't always live together. The closer you get, the more discordance you have. It's better to be separated."

Xiao Renshen didn't quite understand these things, but she could hear that Shi still had to live alone.

Qi Yun went on to say, "You don’t need to worry too much about the Jiao Niang. Shi is a smart temperament, and she must have figured it out early. Now that Lord Shi is here, someone will support her. There are also Zheng and the princess Huaning. , Even if she walks sideways in the capital, nobody cares."

Seeing that Qi Yun had said this, Ye Jiao was relieved with a smile on her face. She leaned over and kissed Qi Yun on the face, saying, "No wonder you took Xu Bao away. You can't let these words He heard it."

Even though Xu Bao's mind is pure and pure, he has a brain that is too memorable. He can remember everything. Those who are so sophisticated still have to avoid children, so that they can learn early and mess up their mind.

On the other hand, Qi Yun smiled and was about to speak, only to see Ning Bao staring at Qi Yun with a pair of clean eyes.

Qi Erlang realized that his eldest son had escaped, but there is still a second son here...

In terms of intelligence, Ningbao is not lost to Xubao at all, and even worse.

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and squeezed Ning Bao's chubby cheek, and asked, "How does Ning Bao see his father?"

Ning Bao blinked without answering. Instead, he turned his head and hugged Ruyi in Ye Jiao's arms, why didn't he let go.

Ruyi and Ning Bao have never been separated. They have been in the same place from the mother's womb. They are naturally close. I feel that my brother is holding her, and Ruyi is holding her head cleverly for Ning Bao to hug, giggling on her face, and her little hand pats Ning. Bao's back looked very happy.

After all, the child was young, and it was not long before he learned to speak. Qi Yun didn't know what Ning Bao was thinking, so he didn't ask any more. The two held them together and sent them to the wing to coax them to sleep.

Ye Jiao did not follow, but went to look at the medicinal flowers that Zheng brought.

These flowers were carefully selected by the Dong family, and most of them could not see the effect of the medicine, so she got rid of Zheng and sent them to Ye Jiao.

When Ye Jiao was a little ginseng, he saw a lot of flowers and plants. People here don't recognize him. He knows that he is inseparable. Even if the name is different and the things are the same, the effect is the same.

This time, most of the medicinal flowers are used for nourishing purposes, and there is one plant, which is peculiar to look at.

The colors are beautiful, the leaves are slender, and the flowers have a gradual color, from red to yellow, which is particularly beautiful.

But when Ye Jiao saw it, she recognized that this medicinal flower was Orchid.

The color is like the evening glow, the flowers are magnificent but poisonous, and the leaves can detoxify the flowers.

And this flower is not a huge poison that can kill people, it can even be used as medicine, which is good for the body.

But that needs to use other medicinal materials to dilute the toxicity. Otherwise, if you eat it directly, it will cause abdominal pain, false death, fainting, breathing stagnation, and life worry after a long delay.

Ye Jiao wanted to throw this flower away, but when she thought of her mate's body, he could use it when it was not clean, so she changed her mind and said to Xiaosu: "Keep this flower alone and surround it. Let people come closer." Then Ye Jiao's voice paused slightly, "Xiao Hei don't let it go to eat, this flower is poisonous, and people can't hold it."

Xiaosu immediately said: "Second young lady, don't worry, I will be careful."

Ye Jiao nodded, and instead of looking at it, she asked someone to remove the other medicinal flowers from the pot and transplant them to the flower garden.

Among them, Ye Jiao, who is good for her body, thought about waiting for them to grow older, she would pinch off a few flowers to make a purse, and bring them to the three children to keep them safe. Xiaosu asked her to take her to the kitchenette.

Then Ye Jiao called Feng Xiucai again, and asked Feng Xiucai to draw the flowers roughly. After they were finished, Ye Jiao took a stack of drawing paper and returned to the room.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Qi Yun was reading the account book.

Today, Qi Yun has a lot of industries inside and outside the capital, and they seem to be scattered, and Qi Erlang has quietly pinched several important places.

The wine in the capital, the restaurant outside the capital, and the transportation by water and land, and the caravans at the border, these are just enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime.

However, Qi Yun is still slowly developing everything he has, especially the caravan. This is not only his own industry, but also Chu Chengyun's expectation. Every time he carries a task, Qi Yun will naturally not slack off.

Now what he is holding is the caravan’s account book. The caravan will be back in a few days. This time they don’t have to go to the hometown of Qi’s family. Instead, they will unload in the village outside the capital. It is more convenient to rely on the waterway. But before they came back, Qi Yun had to figure out what to bring next time he went out, and everything had to be prepared early.

However, after seeing Ye Jiao coming back, Qi Yun closed the account book and put it aside, stood up and walked over to meet Ye Jiao, and said with a smile: "Is everything packed up?"

Ye Jiao nodded with a squinted smile, looking left and right, and asked, "What about the children?"

Qi Yun went to wash up with Ye Jiao, and then sat down on the soft couch and said while pulling the couch a few times: "I just played for a while, and then I watched it late, so I let them go to sleep."

Little Ginseng was a little puzzled: "Xu Bao said before that he wanted to sleep with me. Why, has he changed his mind?"

Xu Bao didn’t change his mind. He still wanted to sleep with Ye Jiao, but Qi Yun revealed to him Ning Bao’s recent love to play with Xiaomujian. Xu Bao immediately made a fuss about going to sleep with his younger brother and sister for fear of being fooled. After learning martial arts, I will not be able to study happily with myself in the future.

I'm afraid that at this moment, Longfeng Tire is still forced to listen to his brother's rants.

However, Qi Yun didn't make it clear, he just said: "He can do whatever he likes. It's not easy to be restrained."

Ye Jiao was not ready to ask carefully. She was holding the scissors to cut off the heart of the candle, and then picked it up with a silver stick to brighten the candle light, and then laid out the stack of paintings she held in her hand, rubbing the ink and holding the pen. Start writing seriously.

Qi Yun looked at the probe, went down and brought a candlestick over, put it in a place, and asked, "What does Jiao Niang write about?"

Ye Jiao didn’t look up, and wrote as she replied, “I asked Mr. Feng to draw the medicinal flower for me. I put the name and the effect on the side, and let me bring it to Chunlan, so that she won’t know you. Up."

The ordinary ability to recognize medicine is extremely precious, like an experienced pharmacy doctor, unless it is for his own apprentice, no one will teach it.

But Ye Jiao was able to tell others openly, which was also rare.

Qi Yun thought about it for a moment, and left and right Dongs were the shopkeepers of their own drugstore. Only when the medicinal materials were recognized can they help the world and save people. This is a merit and a good deed, so he didn't say anything, but sat aside and watched Ye Jiao write.

But looking around, Qi Yun saw a bunch of round characters on the paper.

Ye Jiao learns quickly and comprehends things quickly, but these words become more and more rounded every day, and they are self-contained, and they are especially easy to recognize.

Seeing her writing slowly, Qi Yun said, "Jiao Niang, can you help me?"

Ye Jiao shook her head, still intently lowered her head to write, and whispered softly: "No, Chunlan knows what the characters I write are like. She knows when I write them, and won't laugh at me."

Qi Erlang sat sideways with his elbows on the couch, resting his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "The word Jiao Niang is funny and naturally likable. No one laughs at you."

After Ye Jiao finished writing one, she put it aside, and then looked at Qi Yun: "San Lang said that I was ugly."

Qi Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to help her organize the paper, and said lightly: "That's because he has a problem with his vision, I don't think he will say it now." If you still said, Qi Yun collected the dozens of boxes of Qi Saburo characters. They are also placed in the east wing, adding a few more boxes is the same.

However, Ye Jiao wasn't fooled by Qi Yun's words. She looked at her handwriting and felt that it was indeed different.

Xianggong said it was interesting, that is, he sees himself well, but he still doesn't take it out to outsiders.

Holding the words carefully, Ye Jiao looked a little worried: "Xu Bao showed me the words he wrote before. They are also round. Will they be written like me in the future?"

Qi Yun didn't think it was difficult, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Xu Bao's child is very diligent. It is the easiest thing to practice calligraphy. When he is bigger, his arms will become stronger. Ten big characters, one can pull the month back."

Ye Jiao opened her eyes slightly, "Thirty articles a day? Will it be too much."

Qi Erlang looked at Ye Jiao and replied, "Don't worry, Xu Bao will only be happy, not too much."

Qi Ming was studying, which was taught by Qi Yun from a young age, and there was nothing to do about it, so he regarded reading as an interest.

Stone reading is also the first step for Qi Yun. Because of Qi Zhao and Fang's expectations, Stone will patiently walk along this road with patience. If you like it, you can't say it.

But his own little fat guy is different, he really likes it.

Thirty large characters are punishment for others, but for Xu Bao, it is called reward. Not only will he not be sad, but he will write happily, and it will cause trouble if one is missing.

Ye Jiao thought of this too, smiled crookedly at the corner of her mouth, and started to write.

Qi Yun went and brought the dessert plate on the table outside. Inside was the chestnut cake sent by Huaning. It was sweet and glutinous, with the sweet aroma of chestnuts, soft and smooth. Ye Jiao has eaten it every day recently. Two pieces of it.

Seeing Ye Jiao writing intently, Qi Yun stretched out his hand and broke a piece of chestnut cake, and fed it to Ye Jiao's mouth.

The little ginseng's eyes were still staring at the paper, his expression did not change, but his mouth opened naturally.

He took away the chestnut cake in one bite, swallowed it in his mouth, and Qi Yun couldn't help laughing because of the bulging cheeks.

Then he broke another piece and fed it to her, Ye Jiao still opened his mouth to eat.

Soon, three chestnut cakes entered Ye Jiao's stomach.

At this time, Ye Jiao finished writing the last one, and took up the pen, only then did he notice that Qi Yun was staring at him and smiling.

Little Ginseng looked at him a little puzzled, and then realized that there was a taste of chestnut in his mouth.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then a little pity.

Qi Yun was puzzled: "The Jiao Niang doesn't taste good?"

Ye Jiao shook her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's delicious, but when I ate it, I ate it without knowing the taste. It's a bit wasteful."

Qi Yun is a temperament who doesn't like eating and drinking, so he can't understand where his wife's distress comes from.

But he felt that Ye Jiao's appearance was very interesting at this moment, got up, walked in front of Ye Jiao, lowered his head slightly, and reached out and rubbed his wife's face.

Wherever Ye Jiao was willing to suffer, she stood up and squeezed his earlobe, and the two of them fell on the bed with a laugh.

But she couldn't sleep at the moment. Ye Jiao ate chestnut cake again. Even if she washed her just now, she would get up and rinse her mouth again, otherwise her teeth would be broken.

Ye Jiao had already started yawning when she finished her work and lay down again.

Qi Yun hugged her, patted the woman's back with his hand, and said: "Xu Bao likes studying, but I see Ning Bao doesn't like it very much. If he really wants to What can I do if I want to practice martial arts?"

It's not that martial arts practice is bad, but that learning to obtain officialdom is what most parents expect of their children.

Ye Jiao didn't have so many worries, closed her eyes slightly, and said slowly: "He is happy. The days are his own. They will decide what they want when they grow up. I won't help them choose."

Qi Yun's hand paused slightly, and then he stroked Ye Jiao's back, with a smile in his voice: "The lady is transparent."

But this time Qi Erlang didn't get a response, because Ye Jiao had closed his eyes and fell asleep, with a calm expression.

Qi Yun also closed his eyes, and this sleep came the next day. When he woke up, the sky was still not bright, and the morning light was faint in the distance.

But there is a smell in the room that you can't even ignore.

Qi Yun touched aside, feeling empty, then sat up, stretched out his hand to lift the bed net and said, "My daughter, did you make any soup again?"

But what was handed to Qi Yun this time was not a soup bowl, but a dark medicine.

A bowl full, with the familiar fragrance of medicine, still steaming on it.

Qi Yun looked up and met Ye Jiao's narrowed eyes with a smile. He only heard her say: "Msang Gong, take medicine."

Qi Erlang stretched out his hand to take it, first raised his neck and drank it, then asked, "I drank it yesterday, why do I want to drink it again today?"

Because he is already quite healthy now, this medicine is also once every other day. He drank it at noon yesterday. It is said that this is not the time to take the medicine.

He would definitely not take it after changing other people, but Ye Jiao handed it over, even if it was poison, he would drink it.

Ye Jiao put the medicine bowl aside and sat beside Qi Yun and said, "This is a medicinal plant sent by Chunlan yesterday. It is good for the body, but the flowering period is short. I had to be dealt with early, and it was fried this morning."

But when Ye Jiao was speaking, Qi Yun felt a little hot.

This kind of heat made him a little familiar, looked down, Qi Yun immediately pulled the quilt to cover his waist, and looked at Ye Jiao.

The little ginseng is not strange, he smiled and said: "It doesn't interfere with the problem, it helps to strengthen the body, strengthen the kidney and nourish the qi. This is normal."

Qi Yun didn't speak, just stared at Ye Jiao.

Ye Jiao wanted to ask him what he was looking at, but Qi Yun stretched out his hand and dragged him over, and then fell into the bed.

In the tent, a small voice came out: "The anger from the cute girl should also be relieved for me."

The response was a crisp voice: "Well, good."

The effect of this medicine is very obvious. Qi Yun originally had cold hands and feet when the season changed, but this time it eased a lot.

And after the wall in the middle was flattened, the house that originally belonged to the Wen family and now belongs to the Qi family also began to lively rebuild.

Planting trees, moving water to build a house, just the cool house does not know how much money it took to make it.

Fortunately, Qi Erlang is not short of money, as long as Ye Jiao wants it, he nods his head.

When the little ginseng has nothing to do, he will go around and walk around, and wait until all construction stops and it is already summer.

There are few trees in the capital, and summer seems to be much hotter than in my hometown. Fortunately, the cool house is big and there is running water to cool off the heat, so the family lives in this house.

Now Ye Jiao no longer looks like she was double-body at the time last year, but now she's all refreshed, and the ice cream can be used casually, and the ice cream can be eaten freely. Life is more comfortable than any summer.

Towards the end of July, Qi Ming was promoted to the official rank and became the privy deputy of the sixth rank, and the privy was the former champion Xiao Yuanbai. After all, the two of them had gone to work in the same office.

After the promotion plan came down, Qi Ming asked Liu Si to go to Qi's house, and asked his second brother and sister-in-law to eat, and the place was set in Qi Ming's own courtyard.

Normally, Qi Ming came to eat, but this time Qi Saburo was promoted, and it was common sense to treat guests at home.

Qi Yun and Ye Jiao didn't take the children, instead they only took Tiezi and Xiaosu and went in a carriage.

On the carriage, Qi Yun asked: "Who did Saburo invite?"

Liu Si was sitting in distress at the moment, and immediately said: "Go back, go back to the second young master, the third young master only invited, and invited a friend."

Qi Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Colleagues?"

Liusi hesitated and nodded: "I think so."

This made Qi Yun a little relieved. He asked Qi Ming to move out because he wanted to make his own Saburo independent, so he couldn't rely on himself forever. He is now an official and he should have his own circle when he has a serious job.

Now that Qi Ming has been able to get along with his colleagues, it is naturally a happy event.

It's just that Qi Yun can't guess whether Qi Ming invited the Guo family leader who had a good relationship with him this time, or the Xiao family leader who will work with him in the future. Without thinking about it, it is a happy event.

As a result, as soon as they entered the courtyard gate of Qi Ming's small courtyard, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao immediately stopped, and at a glance they saw Chu Chengyun, who was under the grape trellis in the courtyard, stepping on the stool and reaching out to pick grapes.

Ye Pingrong, who was standing on the side, looked calm, but from a closer look he could see that his whole body was tight, and he was always ready to lie down as a pad when Chu Chengyun fell.

Hearing the movement at the door, Chu Chengyun turned his head and saw Qi Er and his wife, his face immediately smiled, and said: "Erlang is here, come and sit, this grape is sweet."
