Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Wu Miaoer was stunned when she heard the words, then she stood up abruptly, almost overturning the table in front of her.

However, she immediately sat back, dragged the crooked table to her side, closed the book in front of her, opened it again, and then calmed down and looked at the stone.

So I saw that Shishi was looking at him dumbfounded.

Little Stone didn't know where he made his brother Wu upset. From his point of view, they had a good relationship. Brother Wu had always called him one by one. If he became a brother, he would become a brother with a different surname. This should be a good thing. A pile.

But now looking at Wu Miao'er, I don’t seem to be happy, and the stone is not easy to ask directly, so I can only say something like a tentative: "Brother Wu, are you... okay?"

Wu Miao'er pursed her lips, she felt that she was not good, not good at all!

She is a woman, and the stone is a man. Even if they are still young, Wu Miao'er understands that men and women have different principles. Where can they be brothers?

Wouldn't it be that Liang Shanbo Zhuyingtai will come to send the Eighteenth Phase?

But Wu Miao'er couldn't say this directly, she could only endure it.

In the past, women disguised themselves as men because Wu Miaoer, as a woman, needed to read and read. As the inheritor of Wu’s porcelain, Wu Miaoer knew that the old man was too old and could not accompany her forever. If she wanted to be alone, she would have to learn her skills.

Originally, Qi Yun wanted Wu Miao'er to study with Feng Xiucai at the house, but Wu Miao'er knew in her heart that she owed too much to the Qi family. This kindness should be repaid, but if the Wen family falls, she will continue to suffer. With the favor of the Qi family, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in this life. By then, it is not certain who the Wu family porcelain belongs to.

Although Wu Miao'er was young, she could tell that Qi Yun was an extremely shrewd person, and what he got from him would never be for nothing.

Perhaps it was because she understood this, Wu Miaoer chose to disguise herself as a man and enter the college to study.

As a result, the book hadn’t been finished yet, so I got myself a righteous brother back...

But Wu Miao'er would not say this. She knew that Stone was an honest temper. She really told him that I was afraid that it would scare him, and this was because she fooled others. It's hard to say that the stone was not. Wu Miao'er hesitated. Can vaguely say: "I don't want to bow..." After saying this, he lowered his head, looking a little guilty.

Wu Miao'er always feels sorry that it was someone who was sincere, but she was hiding something.

But to Wu Miao'er's surprise, the stone waved her hand to herself and said: "It's not a problem, I'm anxious, Brother Wu, don't take it to heart. It's also great for us to be friends."

Wu Miaoer's ears were red, so she raised her eyes to look at him.

The little girl's eyes were beautiful and round, and the moment she raised her eyes was extremely pretty.

The Qing breeze waiting on the side was taken aback for a moment, looked at Wu Miao'er with some doubts, but did not say anything.

Then I listened to Wu Miao'er: "I mean, we are still young and can't be worshipped. We have to wait until we are older."

This made the stone particularly puzzled, and he pulled her and asked, "What is this for?"

Wu Miaoer's eyes turned, and she replied crisply: "You need to drink blood in the wine to bow. We can't drink at this age, and the blood hurts, I dare not."

This reason was far-fetched, and Qingfeng felt that everything was wrong.

But Shitou believed it, and nodded in agreement: "Brother Wu, you are right. My second uncle also told me that I can't drink. I just didn't think about it. I was abrupt." After speaking, Shito stood up and faced Wu Miao'er. Hand over to apologize.

Wu Miao'er also hurriedly stood up and replied. When she prayed, she didn't know what she thought of, her ears were burned red, but her face was no longer stiff, and her smile remained the same.

At this moment, Feng Xiucai came back with his small teapot and saw the two people worshiping each other. He was taken aback and said, "What are you doing?"

Wu Miaoer was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied: "Mr. Feng, we...we are studying the article."

Shishi quickly nodded and smiled at Feng Xiucai.

Fortunately, Feng Xiucai just asked the last sentence and did it without thinking deeply. Then he put down the small teapot and asked the two children to send up the unrecognized characters. He interpreted them one by one, and waited for them to be After writing it down, Feng Xiucai picked up the booklet and read aloud: "Yiyinxiangtang defeated Jie, rose from Jie, and then fought Jie in the field of Mingtiao..."

Shishi listened attentively, Wu Miaoer watched attentively, neither of them remembered what had just happened.

Until I finished reading the text I learned today, and under the guidance of Feng Xiucai, I finished the homework left in the academy. Seeing that it was not early, Wu Miaoer got up and said goodbye, and Shishi followed her to see her.

When going out, Shitou also took Wu Miao'er to see Peach Blossom. The two wanted to talk about the peach blossom poems they had learned before, but they taught the four books and five classics in the academy. As for poetry, they have not studied deeply, and the professors have limited poems. I want to come. If you want to go, you can only think of the phrase "remembering yesterday's five or six years old, shining brightly."

Fortunately, their knowledge is almost the same, just skimming the last sentence to match the atmosphere.

When Wu Miao'er was sent out, the stone said: "Second aunt said, I made peach blossom cakes at home, and it is too late today. When we go to the school together tomorrow, can I bring you some?"

Wu Miao'er smiled and nodded in response, and then bid farewell to Shishi.

But when he bends down like this, Wu Miao'er remembered the silly look of this person just now when she dragged herself to worship, and she couldn't help whispering: "Fool."

It happened that she often said that Shishi was not malicious, but brought some closeness. Now Shishi heard Wu Miaoer's words and asked, "Brother Wu, you call me?"

Wu Miao'er looked at him and didn't answer, but smiled and turned his head and ran away.

Shishi looked inexplicable, looking at Wu Miaoer's back, he asked Qingfeng, his book boy, "Do you think Brother Wu is weird today?"

Qingfeng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I always think that Young Master Wu has some male and female faces..."

As soon as he said this, Stone raised his hand to stop his words, and said solemnly: "Brother Wu is not happy for others to say that he is a sissy. This is not a good thing. Don't say it later."

Qingfeng nodded hurriedly and said no more.

Then Shishi returned to joy, and walked into the door, muttering: "When the second aunt comes back, I will get some peach cakes and bring them back to Brother Wu."

Qingfeng is a little curious: "I saw that the small kitchen has done a lot before, can't you go and get it directly, Master?"

The stone shook his head: "No, Xu Bao said that those were taken for others. I'm afraid it's empty now. I'll talk about it later."

And the peach blossom cake filled with two food boxes is now on the table in the inner hall of Weiyang Palace.

This is the residence of Empress Meng, and it is also the only palace in the harem where there is a master's wife. There are more than twice as many people serving as the next palace.

But there were many people who were waiting, but they were exceptionally clean. The palace people tried their best to make no noise when they came and went. They were very disciplined. Even if they saw Ye Jiao bring three children into the palace, they pretended not to see them, and didn't even make any comments.

Ye Jiao sees a lot. The atmosphere here is the same every time she enters the palace, and she gets used to it. On the contrary, the three children were frightened by the palace’s quiet and solemn appearance, and they kept silent. When they saw Empress Meng, they were totally different. Lively.

Empress Meng could see the children's thoughts, she just smiled calmly and said: "Go and pick the prince, the children can play somewhere, and it is good for him to meet people."

The palace man responded. Not long after, a woman came over cautiously holding the swaddle and wanted to pass it to Empress Meng. When she saw Empress Meng glanced aside with her eyes, the palace man immediately bent her knees, and then put Xiao Jingming. Put it in the small bed above the soft couch.

This small bed looked a lot like the one where the dragon and phoenix fetus slept in the past. It was covered with thick cushions, and the wooden railings were surrounded by layers of soft cloth.

And under the crib, there are two wooden legs that can be shaken. When you move it inside, the crib will sway, and the small cloth ball hanging on it will sway back and forth. The yellow spikes above are particularly conspicuous. .

Chu Jingming had just woke up, and he was refreshing now. The three-month-old little guy is chubby and heavier than when he was a child, but although he is fat, his face is particularly pleasing, especially his eyes are extremely similar. Chu Chengyun, big and clear, bent into a line when he laughed.

Seeing him, the attention of the three children was attracted, and they were hugged and kissed one by one by Queen Meng, and the children let go.

There are my own mothers sitting on the left and right. This is for the children to rely on in their hearts and give them enough courage. Soon Xu Baoruyi played with Queen Meng.

Xu Bao is well-behaved, happy and lively, and has smart temperament. He sits on the bed from left to right and rolls back and forth with the ball. Empress Meng smiles and asks Xu Bao: "Do you remember auntie?"

Empress Meng simply asked her, whether Xu Baoji remembered her or not. After all, the last time she saw Xu Bao was a few months ago. After so long, it is normal to forget her.

Who knows, Xu Bao, who was holding a cloth ball to make Ruyi happy, raised his head and replied: "Remember, my aunt said to give Xu Baozhu a string. The green one is long."

When these words came out, Empress Meng was taken aback for a moment, and then she remembered that she had promised Ye Jiao and Xu Bao last time. If she really had a dragon fetus, she would give that string of jade beads to Xu Bao, but there was none. Good news for her in August.

It’s just that Queen Meng was a little strange: "I have already sent the beads to Qi Mansion, why, didn’t Xu Bao receive it?"

Xu Bao immediately looked at Ye Jiao and muttered, "Xu Bao has only one."

Ye Jiao just remembered, and stretched out her hand to squeeze Xu Bao's small face, and said in her mouth: "I received it, but the string of beads is too long. I'm afraid he might hurt himself, so I will put it away for him."

Empress Meng is also a mother now. She naturally understands Ye Jiao’s concern for Xu Bao, so she nodded, then smiled and touched Xu Bao’s head and said, “Don’t worry, when Xu Bao can get married in the future, put the beads Wouldn’t it be good to be a betrothal gift to the future lady?"

Xu Bao blinked and nodded immediately, making a note of it.

Even if he doesn't know what a marriage is and what a maiden is, but he will always know in the future, first write it down, and then it will be no later.

Ruyi was watching them talking, but no one was playing with him, so he threw the cloth ball, stood up on the bed, and swayed to find Ye Jiao.

But before she walked to Ye Jiao, she collapsed into Empress Meng's arms.

Empress Meng hurriedly hugged her, thinking that Ruyi would make trouble. Who knew Ruyi only giggled twice, then hugged Empress Meng back, and said: "Auntie Xiangxiang, Ruyi is hungry."

Ye Jiao leaned over and smelled the peach blossom scent on Empress Meng's body. She smiled and said, "Recently, my family’s peach blossoms are in full bloom, and Ruyi likes it very much. I usually like to stroll in it. Now she only needs to smell the peach blossoms. Wei can't move. I just brought the peach blossom cake, so Hui Niang will try it too?"

Speaking of delicious pastries, I'm afraid that the best craftsmen can't compare to the exquisite and delicious dishes made by the imperial kitchen in the palace.

Empress Meng is not a greedy person, and has never liked sweet food.

But now she was holding the soft milk doll in her arms and listening to the sweet voice of Ruyi, Empress Meng naturally smiled and nodded: "It's still a good girl to think about it." Then she asked the palace people around her to prepare.

Xu Bao heard that he wanted to eat, and his first reaction was to see his brother.

In fact, at Qi Er's house, neither Qi Yun nor Ye Jiao said that Xu Bao wanted to let his younger siblings. At most, he just mentioned that his younger siblings were still young, and they let Xu Bao protect them while they were playing.

But Xu Bao reads a lot and always regards the principles in the books as the creed of life. This brother and friend is one of them.

He has always remembered the preferences of his younger siblings, Ruyi loves to play, Ning Bao loves to eat, and Xu Bao thinks of his younger brother when he hears something to eat.

However, Ning Bao, who has always been unable to walk when he hears something delicious, sits beside the crib without saying a word, staring at Chu Jingming inside.

Ning Bao is a quiet temper. He is not as curious about the world as Xu Bao, nor is he as lively as Ruyi and not recognizing life. Compared with that, Ning Bao is more willing to hold his wool ball and stay quiet. Sleep in the corner.

Originally, Ning Bao was not curious about Chu Jingming, but when Xiao Jingming stretched out his little hand, Ning Bao first sat there, staring at Jingming for a while, and then slowly peeked his hand from the railing. Go in and gently hold Chu Jingming's little fleshy hand.

The palace man watching by the side wanted to stop, but thought of what the Queen Empress had said, so she didn't say anything, just stared at it, and was always ready to take Ning Bao away.

At this moment, the hands of the two children came to one place.

Ning Bao didn't respond much, but Jing Ming first showed a smile on his face.

In fact, the three-month-old milk doll has little strength, and because of the premature delivery and the chubby, Xiao Jingming can't even turn over at this moment, but he laughs very flatly and has no sound. Ning Bao sees more For my brothers and sisters who like to be busy, I feel fresh when I meet someone who is equally quiet, and then I like them a little.

Ning Bao didn't even eat the peach blossom cake, so Ning Bao sat beside the small bed, leaning on the railing and looking in, letting Jing Ming drag his fingers to play.

And Xiao Jingming has never seen other children since he was born, and now he sees one who is naturally fresh, and he is endlessly watching.

So when Empress Meng and Ye Jiao found them, they saw the two children staring at each other across the railing. They looked so sincere and made Empress Meng laugh and didn’t bother them. They just made the palace crowd more. Just take care of it.

After that, Empress Meng asked people to spread a thick stall on the ground, and took a lot of children’s toys to Xu Bao and Ruyi. The two children immediately played together, Empress Meng got up and sat down at the table with Ye Jiao, laughing. He said: "You have a healthy child, and it makes people like it just by looking at it."

Ye Jiao was holding the tea cup, and said: "I just saw it. The prince is also very healthy."

Empress Meng who said this opened her eyes and smiled, but her heart was slightly relaxed.

Even if the imperial doctor kept saying that Jingming's body is well raised, she will grow up smoothly and smoothly, but Empress Meng feels a little unreliable in her heart, probably because she has trusted Ye Jiao to the extreme, and now she can hear Ye Jiao say that the child is safe. Empress Meng was relieved.

Ye Jiao opened the lid of the tea cup and stared at it before drinking.

There are peach blossoms floating in the tea bowl, which is about to be brewed. The dried peach blossoms seem to be in full bloom. The tea soup is very light in color. You can taste the honey and the aroma of peach blossoms after a sip. Strong, just light, but very pleasant.

Ye Jiao drank peach blossom tea for the first time, and felt that it tasted good, so she looked at Queen Meng and asked, "Is this difficult?"

Empress Meng usually likes to fiddle with these in her free time, saying: "It's not difficult, but you can't drink more peach blossom tea. Just taste it fresh in spring and drink a little for the occasion."

Ye Jiao nodded and took a note, took another piece of peach blossom cake, but didn't eat it. Instead, she looked at Queen Meng and said, "I went to see Hua Ning before, and I will give birth in a month or so."

The smile on Empress Meng's face faded a little, and there was some worry between her eyebrows: "Unexpectedly, there is a banditry at this time, and the most suitable person in the DPRK is General Ye. It is just suffering Huaning. I don't know how Huaning feels?"

Ye Jiao replied, "Very good. I asked me for peach blossom branches before, saying that I want to try to raise them and see if I can support them." The voice paused, "Hui Niang, is there really no danger for my eldest brother to go here? ?"

Empress Meng is not an ordinary harem concubine. Her father is the prime minister. Ordinarily, Chu Chengyun would also tell her about the affairs of the court. Empress Meng naturally knows that there is no eye on the battlefield and no one can be sure of victory. .

But at the moment it was asked by my sister-in-law, Empress Meng would naturally not deliberately frighten her, she just smiled and said: "It should not be. Master Ye is very familiar with the border situation, and most of the things she brought here are the old ones. All are good soldiers, with good generals, they are naturally safe."

Only then could Ye Jiao eat the peach pie with peace of mind, with a smile on her face.

Empress Meng stretched out her hand and waved away from the palace, leaving only the close ones. After the room was clean, she said to Ye Jiao, "I have something to tell you."

Ye Jiao's mouth was stuffed with cakes, and she couldn't speak, so she nodded and looked at Queen Meng.

Empress Meng smiled and poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, and said: "Now the two kings and relatives accidentally fall off the cliff, and there are no bones left..."

Ye Jiao was drinking tea and smoothing the peach blossom cake in her mouth. Hearing the words, she hurriedly said: "Hui Niang, wait." Then, she stooped and took Xu Bao to her arms, and hugged Xu Bao directly. He blocked his ears with his arms, and then said to Empress Meng, "Go on."

Empress Meng also remembered Xu Bao's good memory, so she nodded and said softly, "Since they have no longer a family, the property under that name will also be dealt with."

Ye Jiao blinked and said, "They are the emperor's brothers, shouldn't the property be given to the emperor?"

"That said, some can be eaten by the imperial court, and some can be charged into a private library, but there are still many that can't be brought together." Emperor Meng took a sip of the tea from the back, and said, " There are about ten shops and two villagers who can’t clean up. This villager is not very easy to manage. There are many old slaves in it. It is difficult to clean up. But the shop population is clean. If your family has the spare time to deal with it, just take it away. ."

Ye Jiao was not familiar with business matters, but even so, Ye Jiao could hear that it was Empress Meng who was benefiting her family.

Today, the biggest wine shop opened by Qi Yun in the capital is the wine shop, and the rest are mostly restaurant and tea shops, even if he makes a lot of money, he has not expanded.

It's not that Qi Yun didn't want it, but because the capital was so rich that the house was not bought with money. Many stores were handed down from their ancestors, so they could not easily be bought or sold with money.

Ten pavements have now fallen straight down, no matter the location, this is excellent.

Ye Jiao is not the kind of fake and polite temper, just happily said: "Hui Niang, treat me really well, I will talk to Xianggong when I go back."

Empress Meng also laughed. In fact, this is benefiting the Qi family in private, and everyone can see.

Compared with those who push back and push away false feelings, Empress Meng prefers Ye Jiao’s frankness. Joy is joy, thanks is thanks, never hidden, and the feelings that should be written down are unambiguous, so It's much easier to get along.

However, Empress Meng's eyes looked at Chu Jingming, who was still holding hands with Ning Bao, and slowly said: "Jiao Niang, treat me well, I will naturally treat you well, everything is worth it."

The words were so light that Ye Jiao didn't hear clearly, and Empress Meng didn't say it any more, just squeezed a piece of peach blossom pie to eat.

This peach blossom pie is very well done. The crust is soft and the filling is sweet and fragrant. The usual Queen Meng uses very little rice, but now he even ate two of them, which surprised the palace people by the side and looked at Ye. Jiao's eyes were extremely kind.

Legend has it that on the day of the birth of the queen, it was the Ye family who brought her back from the brink of life and death. This could save the life of the first house.

Regardless of whether this is true or false, just looking at the fact that Empress Meng is happily eating an extra piece of cake after seeing the Ye family lady, it is enough to make the palace people look at Ye Jiao with the eyes of a fairy.

When Ye Jiao was about to leave, the palace people's eyes were all detaining, and they wanted to let Ye Jiao live in the palace and stare at her mother to eat more meals every day.

But Ye Jiao didn't delay too much. When Xu Bao and Ruyi were tired of playing and fell asleep, she gently picked up Ruyi and whispered to Empress Meng, "Hui Niang, I'm leaving now."

Empress Meng nodded, and also slowed down her voice: "Help me greet Hua Ning and let her raise her well."

Ye Jiao nodded in response, and then handed Ruyi to Lady Mo, and he went to hug Ningbao.

Who knows that Ning Bao has always been asleep more than when he was awake, but now his eyes were open, and there was no sleep at all, and he stared straight at Xiao Jingming.

Although Jing Ming had slept at noon, he was young and fell asleep again soon. At this moment, he closed his eyes and slept firmly, his little hand tightly holding the red string on Ning Bao's wrist.

The red string was made by Ye Jiao for him, and Ning Bao had always worn it very preciously.

Seeing that Ye Jiao was about to come and hug him now, Ning Bao didn't say much, but still looked at Jingming, obviously he especially liked this quiet and meaty younger brother.

Jingming's hand gripped the red rope very tightly, and would not let it go when he fell asleep.

Ye Jiao wasn't too hard to pull, so she turned to Empress Meng for help.

But before Empress Meng passed by, Ning Bao gently took off the red string with his other hand, which was considered to be separated, while he looked at the red string held by Jing Ming and muttered: "I gave him my brother. ." Then turned his head and hugged Ye Jiao's neck, lying in Ye Jiao's arms without saying a word.

I don't know if he is unwilling to leave or feels distressed by the red rope.

Although Ye Jiao didn't understand the friendship between the children, she could feel Ning Bao's depression, so she patted the little guy on the back and hugged him into the carriage.

After the carriage moved, Ning Bao fell asleep. When Ye Jiao put him on the cushion, the little guy turned around and hugged Ruyi naturally. Xiao Ruyi also raised his head slightly and let Ning Bao hold him. Restored their most familiar sleeping position.

Ye Jiao smiled, patted them on the back, and then touched the top of Xu Bao's hair. Xu Bao muttered in a daze: "Mother, it hurts Xu Bao..." and hugged him. Ye Jiao's hand.

But Ye Jiao lifted the curtain and looked out. She only felt that the spring was just right, and she felt comfortable even just looking at the lush trees.

After entering the city, because the roads in the capital were not always smooth, occasionally they had to detour. This time the carriage went around the streets behind the Qijia Restaurant.

Ye Jiao took a look, turned her head and asked, "Is it almost at Saburo's house?"

Mother Mo was looking at the three children, did not look out, but Xiao Su just glanced at it and said, "Yes, that's it."

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "Then go and see, see if Saburo has any shortcomings, so I can make up for it."

After hearing this, the coachman turned a corner and entered the alley.

But soon the coachman stopped the car and turned his head and said: "Second young lady, there is a carriage in front of him blocking the alley."

Ye Jiao was taken aback, thinking it was Qi Ming who had a visitor, so she looked at it.

At a glance, I recognized that the carriage was Qi Ming's frame, and then saw a woman in a white dress lying on the ground in front of the carriage, clutching her leg, seemingly injured.

Ye Jiao squinted her eyes, feeling that the woman's face was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

She then said to Mrs. Mo: "You have to be careful when you take care of your children." Then she said to Xiao Su, "Go, go and take a look."

The author has something to say: Xu Bao: Why does everyone pay attention to my big head?

Ye Jiao: Because it's really big

Xu Bao:...

Qi Yun: Fatherly love, never call you big head

Xu Bao: qaq
