Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Ye Pingrong got off his horse, and Liu Rong immediately got off his horse to follow Ye Pingrong and walked quickly toward the carriage.

Chu Chengyun, who was sitting in the carriage, did not immediately walk down, but said, "Is the seat open?"

Ye Pingrong responded and said: "Return to the master, not yet, but soon."

Chu Chengyun nodded, and then said: "Has Erlang made arrangements?"

"It's all arranged properly and everyone has arrived."

Chu Chengyun said nothing.

He came this time not only because he valued Qi family and Qi Saburo, but also because he hadn't had time to talk face-to-face after the caravan came back, and now the two things happen to go together.

For the gold and silver earned by the caravan, Chu Chengyun didn't value it that much. What he wanted to know was what it looked like outside of Guan.

Chu Chengyun had never been there before, nor thought to be able to see it, but he couldn't stop curiosity.

This curiosity is not for fun, but to make arrangements early to prevent Di Rong from committing a crime. For the family and the country, you must ask carefully, some things are far less true than the face-to-face description.

It's just that a lot of officials came this time. If they recognize Chu Chengyun, it would be troublesome, so Chu Chengyun said, "I won't go down anymore. I will go to the tea shop first, and wait until the people are gone."

"Yes."

"There is one more thing. When you leave the banquet, you find someone to give Master Shi something in your name. He sees it and understands it naturally." As Chu Chengyun said, someone handed a potted plant to Ye Pingrong.

The first planted here is emerald green bamboo, tied into a bundle, and a very tacky little red cloth is hung on it.

Of course, Ye Pingrong would not directly say tacky, since it was given by the emperor, it must have meaning, but he can't understand it.

In fact, there are countless court guards around Chu Chengyun. Anyone can do this kind of trivial matter, and anyone can do it properly.

It's just that this matter is a private matter, so naturally it has to be handed over to a close person.

Ye Pingrong accepted the potted plant, accepted it, and then watched Chu Chengyun's carriage leave.

Liu Rong on the side also bowed and saluted. He straightened up until he couldn't see Chu Chengyun's carriage. He looked at Ye Pingrong and asked, "Is this the Lord Shi Tianrui whom we picked up last time?"

Because Liu Rong followed Chu Chengyun all the way out of the Duan Palace, Chu Chengyun did not hide many things from him. Since Chu Chengyun asked him to listen, he believed him, Ye Pingrong said truthfully: "Yes, This is Master Shi, who you just helped is his sister."

In fact, Liu Rong had some guesses when he heard the surname Shi. Now that he was confirmed, he immediately smiled.

However, he immediately concealed his smile and turned to say, "General, you have to find someone to send you around, it would be better for me to come, and I will come safely."

Originally, Chu Chengyun meant to avoid his own relationship and let outsiders see that Shi Tianrui and Ye Pingrong had a good relationship, and that it had nothing to do with him. Ye Pingrong sent his guards.

But Liu Rong also has a serious official position now, and Ye Pingrong is surprised to rush to do this kind of errands.

Liu Rong has his own reasons: "I also want to get to know this Master Shi."

When Ye Pingrong heard this, he was surprised at first, then pleased.

Liu Rong has been with him on the battlefield. If Ye Pingrong is not very sensitive to the affairs of the court, then Liu Rong is completely dull. He never takes those twists and turns, and sees the bottom of his mind.

Naturally, there are benefits. Being pure, kind and loyal, you can also get a newcomer to Chu Chengyun, but generals like Liu Rong are easily trapped by others.

Now that he can know the courtiers that the emperor is optimistic about, Ye Pingrong is naturally very relieved. This is naturally not a confession. It can only be said that Liu Rong's vision is much higher than before.

He didn't know that Liu Rongcun's thoughts were entirely on the side, but he looked righteous and fooled Ye Pingrong.

Just listen to Ye Pingrong said: "It's done, it's the same if you send it off."

The messenger was handed over to Liu Rong, and Liu Rong respectfully took over the flowerpot, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and then the two entered the front hall one after another.

In the back hall, when Shi Shi walked in, he heard bursts of laughter.

"Ruyi, come here, come to my aunt." Hua Ning didn't have any clothes on the princess, and clapped his hands with a smile, teasing the little girl.

Sitting on the blanket is the fetus of dragon and phoenix, wearing red clothes, fleshy, and being coaxed to move.

Ruyi doesn’t need to say, even if you put her there, you can play with yourself. The more people there are, the happier. When Hua Ning called her, Ruyi smiled softly and yelled "aunt" softly. It made Hua Ning's heart soft, and he hugged it into his arms to coax.

But Ning Bao remained motionless. After sitting for a while, feeling tired, he lay down as soon as he tilted his body, got up motionless, and fell asleep after a yawn.

He didn't move anybody, at most he turned over, and he was not interested in the small objects placed in a circle on the couch not far away.

Grab something?Where is it interesting to sleep.

Ye Jiao looked at him, suddenly felt that it was not easy to catch this week.

According to the rule, Catch Zhou must be finished before lunch, and it is not all guests who come to catch Zhou, only relatives and friends.

Therefore, when the dragon and phoenix fetuses were carried on the couch, there were not many people standing beside them.

Shi often came and went, and got close to the two children, and this time he also brought things to add to their Zhou Li.

What I gave Ruyi was a pair of gold scissors, but it was a look, all around it was rounded, and it couldn't be opened, and it couldn't hurt people.

What Ningbao bought was a very expensive Zihao pen, which was thinner and shorter than ordinary ones, which was very suitable for children.

Ye Jiao took a look, smiled and thanked Shi Shi, Shi Shi returned a smile, and then stood with Hua Ning.

It's just an ordinary thing, but it's unusual in the eyes of others.

The matter between the Shi family and the Wen family has long been a chat in the capital, and they have everything to say. After all, the mouth is on the face of the individual, and no one can stop it.

It is Shi Shi who suffers from this matter. The Wen family is indeed sorry to her, but more people still criticize Shi Shi behind the scenes.

The man said she was not virtuous, the woman laughed at her that she could not give birth.

And these laughter and ridicule disappeared after Shi Tianrui returned to Beijing. Now Hua Ning and Shi clan’s friendship is not a secret, and others dare not say a word.

This is how things in the world are, but those who have a miserable life will always be ridiculed and ridiculed. If you want to gag others, you can only be patient enough to make others dare not say, and they dare not mention it.

Looking at Shi Shi and Hua Ning Yan and laughing at Yan Yan, everyone knows that they are more enthusiastic towards Shi Shi than in the past.

Shi looked at the faint smile still, as if it was no different from the past.

It's just that she herself knows how true and false these people are. At this moment, Shi Shi is just dealing with it casually. Only when she looks at Ye Jiao, Shi Shi's eyes are full of warmth.

Little Ginseng didn't say anything to others at this moment. Instead, he stared at his two good treasures, clapped his hands and whispered, "Ning Bao, Ruyi, come to catch Zhou."

Before, Ye Jiao explained the meaning of catching Zhou to the dragon and phoenix, but he had not trained them what to catch.

Many people will teach their children what they can and can't catch in order to make their children love him, just to ask for good luck.

Ye Jiao hadn't thought about it that way. She treated this as a game. She liked the child no matter what, and Ye Jiao was also curious about what her child would catch.

On the other hand, Qi Yun prepared everything for Zhou Zhou early and neatly, and put all of them in the pan. They were all auspicious objects, and they could not pick anything wrong.

Even if Qi Yun didn't believe in the idea of ​​catching Zhou Ding for life, he still considered everything.

In the final analysis, Qi Erlang is still the one who keeps everything in his palm.

Ruyi was the first to stand up. She walked steadily and spoke clearly. After looking around the pan filled with objects, she asked Ye Jiao, "Mother, what do you like? "

When Ye Jiao heard this, she knew that the child wanted to take something to give herself, her heart was slightly sweet, she smiled, and said: "Ruyi finds what she likes, and all the mothers you like like it."

Ruyi said "Oh", then looked around again.

After all, it was the baby doll who just turned one year old. She didn't know a lot of things. She could only reach out and touch a beautiful girl that she could hold.

After swaying for a while, looking at the pattern on it, Ruyi immediately had a smile on her face, and she didn't remember this thing before.

Mother Mo, who was standing by the side, said immediately: "The girl caught Yu Ruyi, and everything will go well in the future."

Ye Jiao was happy when she heard it, and she hugged Ruyi and kissed her, making the little girl laugh.

But when Ye Jiao looked at Ning Bao, she met a pair of big black eyes.

Ning Bao is different from Ruyi. He knows the meaning of catching Zhou, but he is not very happy to stretch out his hand. He just sits there and looks at the objects in the pan, but his eyes look at Xu Bao from time to time.

Xu Bao didn't quite understand why he looked at himself, a little confused.

Qi Yun coughed slightly, and said softly, "Is Ning Bao hungry? I will eat after catching it."

Ning Bao looked at Qi Yun again, his fleshy little face turned around, and then slowly stretched his hand to the pan.

Then, he raised a small wooden sword.

Mrs. Mo immediately said: "Young Master Ning grabbed the wooden sword, and he will be able to stay healthy and be a general in the future."

As soon as this was said, everyone followed suit and spoke auspiciously, as if Ning Bao could really become a general in the future.

Only Xu Bao pouted, fluttering in Qi Yun's arms a little unwillingly, and whispered: "Brother must have caught it by mistake."

Qi Yun patted Xu Bao's little ass. Although he didn't believe in the life of Zhou Ding, he also teased his children at the moment, saying, "What can be wrong? Whatever is caught, I want to come to you. My younger brother himself is also willing to learn martial arts."

Xu Bao stared at Qi Yun: "That Xu Bao wants to catch it again."

Qi Yun was a little curious: "What do you want to catch?"

"Catch your mother, Xu Bao is the one caught."

Qi Yun held him, curled his mouth, and said lightly: "It's late."

Xu Bao pouted his mouth and lay directly on Qi Yun's shoulder, angering himself.

But he didn’t get angry for long. When he ate the longevity noodles, Xu Bao sat between the fetuses of the dragon and phoenix with a small bowl. , Xu Bao laughed immediately and fed more vigorously, while Lady Mo on the side stared nervously, ready to take over.

Ye Jiao didn't know what the kid was having fun, but he could feel relieved when he was happy.

It was not until the sky got dark that the guests gradually dispersed.

The Qi family who had been busy all day gradually returned to peace, and the leftovers in front were naturally taken care of. Qi Yun felt that Ye Jiao was definitely tired, and went back early to prepare to accompany her.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Ye Jiao yawning against the bed frame.

Seeing him come back, Ye Jiao got up and wanted to help him undress, Qi Yun walked a few steps quickly to help her sit back, and said slowly: "Since you are tired, take a rest, what about the children?"

Ye Jiao stopped getting up when he said that, still leaning on the bed frame, and slowly replied: "Hold to sleep. They didn't take a nap today, so they just rested earlier."

Qi Yun nodded, kissed her on the cheek, and then quickly changed her clothes, washed her hands and face, and asked people to bring two pots of hot water. Then Qi Yun took it into the house by himself and placed it on the footstool next to the bed. Came up, whispered: "My daughter, wake up, soak your feet and go to sleep."

Because it is the midsummer season, the young ones who usually wear are comfortable, but because Ye Jiao is afraid of heat and is always greedy for cold, it is common to eat ice cream and sleep in a cold house.

Ye Jiao knew that she was fine, and she could nourish Qi Yun as well as herself.

But Qi Erlang didn't know these things, he just wanted to take a dip every day, so as to help Jiao Niang dissipate the cold and be good for his body.

It was quite comfortable around this matter, and Ye Jiao never refused.

Ye Jiao, who was half asleep and half awake, responded without opening her eyes. She kicked off the embroidered shoes, pulled off the socks, picked up her trouser legs and soaked in.

On the other hand, Qi Yun brought another tray of water, and sat next to Ye Jiao, taking off his shoes and socks, and said, "The emperor came up just now. Speaking of the grass you gave, he seems to have no idea what it is for.

Ye Jiao let out a vague "um", and then tilted her back, leaning on Qi Yun's shoulder, closing her eyes and saying, "Hui Niang won't tell him. Also, it's a flower, not a grass, or a flower. That's it."

Qi Yun smiled, but didn't ask what was the secret of this thing.

If the Jiaojiao said it was useful, it would be useful.

However, Qi Yun continued: "Also, I saw an official of the Hanlin Academy talked to Master Shi for a long time, and wanted to send something, but Master Shi confiscated it."

Ye Jiao's voice was still lazy, and she asked smoothly, "Why?"

Qi Yun said indifferently: "I only heard one sentence vaguely, but I didn't hear the details clearly. Maybe I wanted to marry Lord Shi's sister."

As soon as he said this, Ye Jiao, who was half asleep just now, opened his eyes and looked up at Qi Yun, somewhat surprised: "Someone wants to marry Yingxiu?"

Qi Yun nodded: "Yeah."

Ye Jiao is not surprised that some people like Shishi, after all, in her eyes Shishi is an excellent girl, and it is normal for someone to look at each other, but Shishi has never contacted any officials of the Imperial Academy, and she has never said anything. Someone rushed to propose marriage, which is really strange.

Blind marriages and dumb marriages are ordinary people. In this capital city, I need to see each other more or less.

On the other hand, Qi Yun turned his head and rubbed her cheek in a soothing manner, and said slowly: "Sir Shi will naturally decide on these things. As a brother, this is his own business, but you will go out to attend the tea party in the future. During the banquet, you must be asked about this, and then just say you don’t know."

Ye Jiao stared at Qi Yun for a while, then nodded: "Well, I remembered it."

Qi Yun looked at her, and asked with soft eyebrows: "The Jiao Niang didn't ask me why?"

Ye Jiao leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder again, and replied: "Shang Gong definitely thinks Yingxiu won't nod, and I don't think she will nod. Now Yingxiu's life is going well, she can make her own mind. No one else can control her, so why should I mix up."

Although what Qi Yun said was different from what Qi Yun thought, the truth was the same.

The officials of the Hanlin must have thoughts on the side. Even though the Shi family is beautiful and rich, but he is in harmony with the body, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not a good match, especially those sour and rotten literati. It is a minority that jumped out.

Those who are catching up now are mostly looking at Shi Tianrui's future.

How much like Wen Minsong?If you want to be a Shishi once, you won't be a second time.

Qi Yun thinks that for this kind of thing, it is good for Shi's not to be mixed with her own daughter. Shi's mind has long been as deep as the sea, and she knows exactly what she wants, and she doesn't need others to help.

What surprised Qi Yun was that he thought it would take a lot of words to persuade her kind little lady, but she didn't expect Ye Jiao to be extra transparent this time.

It seems that this is the case every time. Looking at Heshun's well-behaved lady, she can always grasp the most authentic and rare truth in her heart.

Qi Yun wanted to praise her, but before he could speak, he felt that the beautiful lady leaning on his shoulder had closed her eyes and went to sleep, breathing evenly, and her expression peaceful.

Ye Jiao fell asleep, thinking that she was very tired today.

Qi Erlang no longer quarreled her, but carefully supported her to lie flat, then wiped herself clean first, then washed her hands, took a clean cloth towel and squatted on the ground and wiped her feet, gently rubbing her Putting it right, he moved the impeller placed in the room again, feeling a slight breeze, Qi Yun only then returned to the bed to lie down.

As soon as he lay down, Ye Jiao in his sleep leaned over and hugged Qi Yun tightly.

Qi Yun's body temperature is slightly lower than that of an ordinary person. Although Ye Jiao feels distressed every time, it is indeed comfortable to hold it in the summer.

Mrs. Zhu is still hot after holding it for a long time, Qi Yun is much more comfortable than Mrs. Zhu.

Qi Erlang was hugged by her, stretched out his hand to encircle his wife, and patted her back gently to make her fall asleep.

At this time, the candlelight in the main house of Palace Shi had not been extinguished for a long time.

Zheng looked at Shi Tianrui, who was pacing back and forth in the room, and saw her dizzy. He said, "That person has a clinging heart. Since Xianggong knows it, just ignore him."

Shi Tianrui did not speak, nor did he move, but frowned and sat on the chair.

When Zheng saw him like this, he was a little bit guilty.

The daughter-in-laws of ordinary people don't like the sister-in-law, especially the sister-in-law after leaving.

Zheng's is different. She thinks that Shi's peace is for Shi Tianrui's sake.

She left the Wen family in peace, except for the desire to push the Wen family into a pit and not climb up, she still didn't want to drag Shi Tianrui down.

Otherwise, Shi Tianrui has such a brother-in-law, I'm afraid there will be too many troubles in the future.

Zheng doesn't mind that Shi is alone now and has a female household on his left. She can do whatever she wants.

However, Shi Tianrui's thoughts were somewhat unpredictable.

Ordinary fathers and brothers all hope that the girl in the family can have a husband to rely on. The more rigid the rules, the more so. It happens that Shi Tianrui is an old-fashioned person.

If this person also has the intention of marrying out his younger sister as soon as possible, what should he do?

Zheng thought of this, and he was a little worried. She was a woman, and she naturally understood Shi's heartache, but if Shi Tianrui made up her mind, she wouldn't be able to persuade her, so she couldn't help but ask softly: "Miangong has thought about finding something for Yingxiu. husband?"

Shi Tianrui did not hear Zheng's temptation, still frowned, and replied: "I used to cheat Xiu'er before, so I can't use these things to cheat her. Now Xiu'er's life is going well, and everything goes well with her. It’s up to you to make the decision yourself, and I don’t want to interfere in matters of cause."

Zheng was shocked when he said this, but he never thought that what such an old-fashioned man said would be so transparent.

But Zheng immediately smiled.

From ancient times to the present, the root cause of treating one's family harshly is because they only value their own face. In other words, they are selfish to love only oneself and don't care about others at all, but if there is some affection, they will not take the family member as a burden.

My prince, Duanfang is really attractive.

Zheng walked over, sat next to Shi Tianrui, and put his hand around his arm.

Shi Tianrui is no longer a young man now. He is up and down in the eunuch sea, and his mind is older than his actual age.

It’s just that Shi Tianrui’s temperament has always been prudent and cautious. The Zheng family is a lot younger than him, but it is also a woman who came out of everyone. The two have a lot of respect for each other and less time when they are close. Now they are held in arms by the Zheng family. It made Shi Tianrui a little flustered.

But he didn't push Zheng away, for fear of annoying his wife. He sat upright and didn't know how to let go.

Zheng looked at him with a smile, and said slowly: "This is going to happen slowly, the surname Wen is not something, it hurt Yingxiu's heart, and now it is true that she is doing well by herself."

Hearing this, Shi Tianrui also forgot the nervousness just now, just nodded and said: "Naturally, a good girl like Xiu'er will naturally have a good future."

Zheng looked at him with a smile, and the more he watched, the more he felt that his friend was right.

About entering Beijing, Shi Tianrui got the emperor's blue eyes, and he looked forward to a good future. The relationship between the Zheng family and her natal family also eased. The things that had troubled the Zheng family before have fallen to the ground, and the temper that she has been suppressing has also returned. Compared with the gentle and gentle Duan Fang before, the Zheng now loves to laugh a lot and speak more agilely: "Msang Gong, I still remember the scene when I saw you for the first time."

Shi Tianrui looked at Zheng and was a little puzzled: "The lady said that the night of marriage?"

Zheng glanced at him, leaned over, and slowly said: "No, I saw you on the street for the first time, your title on the gold list, parading across the horse, and I was watching you wearing court clothes and red flowers. She was very handsome. At that time, I thought that you would not marry me in this life. If it weren't for your parents' disapproval, then I wanted to take you home to worship."

Shi Tianrui was a little surprised when he heard Zheng talk about this for the first time. He turned to look at Zheng, and after holding back for a long time, he asked, "Is my face in the lady's image?"

Zheng did not expect Shi Tianrui to ask such a sentence, just look at him with a smile: "My husband is good-looking and knowledgeable, of course I admire him, doesn't my husband like me?"

Shi Tianrui has been married for a long time, and the children have been there, but such straightforward love words are still heard for the first time.

The ears were red, and after holding back for a long time, Shi Tianrui squeezed out: "Si, I like it naturally, Lady Rongyao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong."

Zheng laughed and thought to himself, Xianggong reads more books, and he always talks about compliments.

At this moment, the voice of a young man came from outside: "Master, ma'am, some people say they want to see the master."

Shi Tianrui wanted to get up, but saw Zheng who was holding him, and immediately stopped.

Zheng saw that his ears were red, and he didn't embarrass him.

Shi Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to tell the lady not to do this in the future, but he was happy for no reason. He swallowed before saying this.

Then Shi Tianrui walked over and opened the door, his face had returned to his usual squareness, and his voice was slightly lower: "Who?"

It was probably just now that someone wanted to calculate his sister, Shi Tianrui was very cautious, for fear that the one who came here was worried about his sister.

Xiao Si bowed his body and replied: "It's an adult surnamed Liu, who said he was sending things for General Ye."

Shi Tianrui was relieved when he heard this.

Ye Pingrong is still familiar with him, and since he is someone he sent, he naturally doesn't have any other thoughts.

So Shi Tianrui nodded, and took the small servant to the front hall.

The author has something to say: Shi Tianrui: This must not miss my sister

Ye Pingrong: Of course
