Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Shi's brows frowned upon hearing this.

Among these noble ladies, Shi’s identity is nothing. She has no husband’s support now. She has an orchard in her hands but it’s not a big business, but her brother is respected by the emperor, and Hua Ning also has a good relationship with her. Only in this way can we hold today's Qixi banquet.

Most of the people here are ladies from Jingmen and Mrs. Gaomen, all people who want to face each other, who would make trouble at this time?

Ye Jiao was also a little strange. She couldn't think of eating the peeled lychees in her hand, so she just looked at Shi Shi and said softly, "Would you like to go out and see?"

Because there were other people in this room, Shi did not want to make a big fuss, so he first whispered back: "No hurry." Then she looked at the woman and said, "Can you see who it is?"

"One of them is the eldest girl from Master Lu's family, and the other one can't tell who it is, but she looks like she's not out of the cabinet."

"Noisy in the garden?"

"That's not true. Miss Meng's family asked someone to go to the bamboo forest to the west of the garden."

Hearing that, Shi Shi and Ye Jiao looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Meng Zhilan was probably Meng Zhilan.

The Shi clan circled in his heart and remembered that Master Lu was also an official in the Privy Council, and he should be Shi Tianrui's deputy.

Since it was Shi Tianrui's colleague, Shi's family naturally wanted to take care of it, so he got up and said, "Go, go and see."

Ye Jiao also spit out the lychee core in her mouth, threw it into the porcelain jar aside, wiped her hands with the kerchief and followed up.

When I entered the garden, there was still a lively scene inside.

The girls who did not leave the pavilion gathered together to pierce the seven-hole needles, throw the needles, and go to the garden in twos and threes to borrow the dew from the leaves. According to legend, this dew was the tears of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting, smeared on the eyes and hands. , Can make people's eyes bright and dexterous.

On the other hand, the married women are not idle either. Naturally, they don't have to pray for marriage. It is also enjoyable to gather together to play double land, or to make an appointment to throw a pot.

This made Shi's heart loose. After all, she was the one who organized this banquet. If something went wrong, I'm afraid that it would make him faceless in the end.

She didn't look nervous at all, and greeted the old lady with a smile.

Ye Jiao looked aside and found that Shi Clan recognized everyone she saw. Not only could she call her name, she could also tell her identity, even her relatives other than Baganzi remembered clearly.

For example, the one who just passed by, seems to be the child of the third brother-in-law of the second sister-in-law of Shi's uncle's hometown, Ye Jiao felt a headache.

When the two of them walked into the small path of the sheep intestines, and the surroundings were quite clean, Ye Jiao took Shi's arms and said with emotion: "Yingxiu is really memorable. It's really not easy to write all these down."

Shi Shi smiled and patted the back of Ye Jiao's hand, and whispered back, "It's always because I lived in the capital for a long time, and it's normal to be familiar with it."

But there is another word, Shi did not say clearly.

When she was in Wen’s house, her life was very dull. It was not lack of food or clothing, but when she returned home, she was fighting a few concubine rooms. She always looked at that stupid Sun for trouble. Shi felt annoying, so he often went out and walked around, and he knew more people.

This also has some advantages. At least now, after she lives alone, the people she had met before will give her a bit of face.

Shi doesn’t mind whether they are sincere or fake. His brother is his own and his friends are his own. If you have a backer, you must rely on it. There is nothing to hide. From Shi’s point of view, those who do not look down on her have to flatter Her people are the most pitiful, because she doesn't know how much she is holding her breath secretly.

It's just that the Shi family never told Ye Jiao that people wanted to look forward, and she also had Liu Rong, so there was no need to always take the old Chen Zhizhi rotten corn out to show sympathy.

Ye Jiao treats her well, no matter what status she is, she treats her well, Shi Shi is naturally only willing to tell her happy things.

But now that Ye Jiao came out with her, Shi still hesitated in his heart, so he stopped before going out and said to Ye Jiao: "Although the women who came here all want face, they won't make trouble too much. Embarrassed, but the noise will inevitably defile your eyes and ears, so Jiao Niang still don't look at it."

Ye Jiao gently shook her head and said, "Ms. Wu Meng is also outside, I'm going to see her."

Shi remembered that the Meng family girl was also outside, so he stopped talking and went out with Ye Jiao.

As soon as I left the house, I could see the woman standing outside the bamboo forest over there.

Because there are only fruit trees nearby, they are not tall, and it is inevitable that it will be sultry in summer, so Shi's people planted a bamboo forest in the south.

Even in today's dog days, you can feel the coolness of the bamboo leaves after the wind blows, and the rustle of the bamboo leaves is particularly pleasant.

After seeing Shi Shi and Ye Jiao, the old lady flashed her body slightly and bowed quietly.

Ye Jiao recognized that she was the Meng family's wife who had come to report before. Miss Meng Wu was there when she wanted to come, so Ye Jiao walked in with some curiosity.

As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I heard a miserable sob, and then a clear female voice rang out: "Cry and cry, you know how to cry, for another person, I think you know how to be ashamed, but who wants to be ashamed? Can a woman do something like you?"

Shi could hear the words very powerfully, so he quickened his pace, and then saw a woman in a blue skirt standing there with her arms akimbo, and the girl in Yuebaiyiqun sitting on the ground, obviously the movement just now was They made trouble.

It was probably because these two people were too conspicuous. Ye Jiao and Shi did not have time to find where Miss Meng Wu was. They heard the woman in the blue skirt say: "Since you shamelessly married my dad as a concubine, you are willing to Desperate, then you should know that you shouldn't come to these occasions in the future, who are you crying for now?"

These words seemed to irritate the woman on the ground, she cried louder, her veil couldn't cover her face.

Ye Jiao stared at her profile face, and then realized it later——

Isn't this Miss Zhu Si?

Shi also recognized the two of them, and he stopped Ye Jiao from stepping forward, and just whispered: "The blue dress is Miss Lu. I think you can recognize the one in the white dress. Zhu's prostitute."

Ye Jiao had some doubts in her eyes, and she whispered softly: "Didn't you say that the Zhu family were all reprimanded from Beijing?"

The Shi clan lowered his voice again and covered his mouth with a veil with his hand. Then he said: "The Zhu family has been reprimanded from Beijing, but now your Majesty Rende, let them have time to deal with the marriage of their children, otherwise Wearing the body of sin, I'm afraid that those girls won't get married."

For this alone, Shi felt that Chu Chengyun was the benevolent monarch.

Few ordinary emperors have such a tolerant capacity. The Zhu family is related to the two kings. To put it lightly, it is also the fate of exile of the whole family, but Chu Chengyun can still wait for them to finish their children’s marriage before imposing punishment. Mind is not easy.

However, this Zhu family’s marriage also caused a lot of troubles in the capital, and added extra money to talk after dinner. The fourth girl of Zhu was mentioned the most.

Shi looked at them for a while, and then said to Ye Jiao at the moment: "Originally, the fourth girl from the Zhu family was a handsome talent. Although he was a foreign official, the days would be easier. Go She was the mistress of the house, but Miss Zhu Si didn’t look down on it. She had to find a way to stay in the capital, and she didn’t know how to get together with Master Lu who was over 40 years old. Female."

Little Ginseng couldn't tell which concubine was a concubine. After all, most of the people she came into contact with were only a concubine, and she rarely accepted concubines, so Ye Jiao didn't understand this deeply.

But after hearing what Shi said, Ye Jiao thought about it and said, "She seems to be at a loss?"

Shi Shi nodded slightly: "The loss is big."

The concubine of the concubine, this is to make the noble daughter next to you very much, but Zhu’s family was convicted, and the whole family moved out of the capital, even if she stayed in this prosperous place, but there is no mother’s family to rely on, this day is only afraid As sad as you are.

Miss Zhu Si didn't know that Shi Shi was talking about her not far away. At this moment, Miss Zhu Si was vomiting blood.

She really wanted to come this time, just to meet the friends she had made before.

Life in the Lu family was actually very difficult. Miss Zhu Si was ignorant and didn't have too much thought, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do so many stupid things.

She was originally a spoiled girl in her family. She thought that being a concubine was a way to win the sympathy and pity of a man. But when she really became a concubine, she knew what it was like to kneel down every day. In addition, she didn’t have a family to rely on. Even the best lady in the house can bully her.

Miss Zhu Si wanted to find a way for herself.

For this, she begged Master Lu for a long time so that she could get a chance to go out on the Qixi Festival.

Perhaps she herself also disliked her current status as a concubine, so she did not dress up as a woman, but still wore the moon and white dress that she liked, and wanted to look for someone while the crowd came in.

Who knows that he hasn't entered the door yet, just so coincidentally, she was recognized by the girl Lu who had just entered, and immediately wanted to come up and scold her.

If Zhu Si were allowed to enter on such occasions, I was afraid that the Lu family's face would be lost until next year!

However, Ms. Wu's eyes were quicker and she was quicker. People stopped Ms. Lv on the one side, and made the woman restrain Zhu Si and dragged out the door.

Because it was these women who went to clean up Zhu Si last time, they are familiar with everything.

Zhu Si didn't recognize these people, but she felt anxious and panicked, but she couldn't do anything except cry. However, Miss Lu did not eat her set. The more Zhu Si cried, the worse Miss Lu scolded. I have never uttered indecent words, but just talking about Sang Shuhuai can kill Zhu Siou.

There was really no way, Zhu Si could only look at Girl Lv with a high face and said, "Girl, there is a difference between inferiority and inferiority, how can I be your elder..."

"Snapped!"

Girl Lv is not a good stubborn. She has a violent and arrogant temperament, and she didn't need anyone else, so she started to slap Zhu Si. The corners of Zhu Si's mouth were bleeding, and her white cheeks suddenly swelled up. No pity, just say coldly: "Shut up, my mother is the only one, what are you, you dare to tell me your respect?"

She was also very angry in her heart. She only felt that her father was not up to date. He was fooled by this woman and brought home. As a result, the innocent door of the Lu family became the laughingstock of the whole city. Even the flat-headed people could say a few words about Lu What is wrong with Zhu's family, how can you make Miss Lu upset?

And Zhu Si really cried now, but he didn't know if he was beaten up or hurt by the girl Lv.

Seeing that he had already moved his hands, Shi Shi could no longer remain silent, so he walked a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Miss Lu? Dissipate such a big anger first, and carefully your hands hurt."

Although Miss Lu could not wait to tie Zhu Si on the spot and throw it here, she still resisted the anger and smiled at Shi Shi, and said, "Ms. Shi Fu'an, my family affairs are noisy to Madam Shi. It's really mine." Then Miss Lv said to Ye Jiao again, "Mrs. Qi."

Ye Jiao smiled at her, but didn't say a word. Instead, she rolled her eyes and looked around.

Shi Shi and Lv Da girl greeted each other. While talking about the scene, Zhu Si was tied up by her wife and her mouth was blocked, but Ye Jiao didn’t care about it. After all, neither the Lu family nor Zhu’s Nothing to do with her, Ye Jiao just wanted to see where her siblings would be in the future.

Soon, Ye Jiao saw Miss Meng Wu who was standing not far away.

The woman under the green bamboo wears a bamboo-blue straight stiletto, has a slim figure and a pretty face. Seeing Ye Jiao looking at her, she smiled before saying a word, walked forward slowly, and said slightly: "Mrs. Qi."

Ye Jiao immediately replied. The Liu family's teachings to her before Ye Jiao kept in mind, and all manners had become a conditioned reflex.

Then Ye Jiao looked at Girl Meng Wu and said, "You are Hui Niang's younger sister." Looking at her eyebrows, she had seven or eight thoughts with Queen Meng, and her temperament was even more stable.

Girl Meng Wu smiled and nodded, but she was a little nervous.

In fact, Ye Jiao's person, Empress Meng had already talked to her, because the Meng family was going to get married with the Qi family, so Meng Wu and Ye Jiao were concubines, and they had to move around. Empress Meng had told her before: "Jiao Niang is a good-tempered woman. If you treat her well, she will treat you well. Remember not to use any calculations on her. You must remember that family and everything are happy."

In Meng Zhilan's heart, her sister Meng Huirou is the smartest woman in the world. The woman who can sit firmly in the back position is naturally different, and the woman who can be seen by Queen Meng is also a very powerful role.

Before coming, Miss Meng Wu crumpled two or three veils, her heart pounding.

Even the occasional encounters with Qi Saburo before, Meng Wu has never been so nervous.

But now that I saw Ye Jiao, Miss Meng Wu's heart suddenly calmed down.

This is indeed a very powerful woman, but what is powerful is not a shrewd calculation, but a pure and clear one that can be seen to the end at a glance.

Girl Meng Wu somewhat understands why her sister likes Ye Jiao. The more she feels in her heart, the more she likes to have a clean mind. Even if Girl Meng Wu just glanced at this Ye family lady, she knew that she was different. .

In terms of making friends, the views of Meng Wu and Queen Meng are surprisingly consistent.

Ye Jiao didn't know that the Jiao Qiao girl in front of him had turned so many thoughts in this short period of time.

She just smiled and said: "I used to hear Saburo talk about you before, but now I see, I really am a good girl."

Girl Meng Wu couldn't help but smiled, her ears were reddish, and she asked in a low voice, "I don't know...what did he say about me?"

The maid serving Meng Wu's girl looked at her in surprise. Her own girl is not so normal. Even if she likes Qijia Saburo in private, she never speaks to others, for fear of being said not to be serious, this time she is particularly frank.

Ye Jiao did not think aside, she just smiled and said, "If you say you are smart, if you say you are gentle, but if there are too many, he will not talk to me and his second brother. After all, he still doesn't know about you. It."

Speaking of this, Meng Wu laughed again, muttering a fool in her heart.

It seems that everyone in the surrounding circle knows that the two families are going to get married, but Qi Saburo himself does not know.

But she was not in a hurry. Empress Meng said before that Qi Saburo was different from the man next to him. He looked like a good temper. In fact, he was very stubborn. If he felt that he was unstable, he would definitely not be able to tell his mind about marrying.

After a while, when the things that Qi Ming and Xiao Yuanbai had done together have come to an end, Qi Saburo's house can also be cleaned up. Only then will it be logical to talk about the marriage.

And when Ye Jiao talked with Meng Wu Girl, Zhu Si on the ground kept listening.

Because of the closeness, the words of both of them were in her ears.

At this hearing, Zhu Si's eyes widened.

Co-authored by Qi Jia Saburo and the Meng family?

Co-authored that he was robbing his son-in-law with the prime minister's house?

This...what's all this...

But Miss Zhu Si is too late to react now, her mouth is closed, her hands are tied, and Zhu Si, who is completely immobile, has no chance to sue her.

Girl Meng Wu was not in a hurry, her expression was very calm, she just talked to Ye Jiao as if she hadn't seen her at all.

Only when she took Ye Jiao's hand back to the gate of the orchard, Miss Meng Wu lightly turned her head to look at Zhu Si who was being pushed away, her eyes flashed indifferently.

She never remembered this person for pestering Qi Ming, not only because she didn't look down on Zhu Si, but also because she believed in Qi Saburo.

As for Zhu Si who has come to this point now, it was her own choice, and Meng Wu has never mixed things up.

If she is really asked to rectify it, I am afraid that Zhu Si hasn't been so lucky to find the Lu family to continue.

Individuals have their own way of fate, and the roads are all on their own, and they cannot blame others.

When she returned her gaze, Ms. Wu returned to her gentle smile again, and she heard Ye Jiao say: "Wait later, can we go throwing the pot together?"

Girl Meng Wu said softly: "I'm not good, can my sister teach me?"

"Naturally." Ye Jiao is also willing to teach her. After she has learned it later, it will be fun to have someone playing with her in the capital in the future.

Girl Meng Wu raised her smile, her eyebrows curled up.

As soon as she walked out of the bamboo forest, Ye Jiao remembered something: "Why are you helping Miss Lu?"

Although it was said that when Zhu Si was making trouble with Qi Ming, Miss Meng Wu asked someone to throw it away, but Ye Jiao looked at her like Hui Niang, and she was proud of her. This time she was afraid that she would not just be jealous for fighting for the wind. .

What's more, Zhu Si is not enough to make future younger siblings jealous.

After changing other people, Ms. Wu would only evade the past, but to Ye Jiao, she was extremely frank: "The Lu family is an official of the Privy Council, and Miss Lv’s marriage is an official working in the Imperial Academy. I naturally have to be busy. help."

Ye Jiao blinked. After such a long time in the capital, just listening to Qi Yun and Shi Shi was enough for Ye Jiao to understand the meaning of Meng Wu.

She is not helping Miss Lu, but helping Qi Ming in the future to accumulate contacts and benefits.

Ye Jiao couldn't help but said, "It is really his blessing that Saburo can marry you."

Girl Meng Wu smiled and accepted the compliment, but smiled.

After entering the door, Ye Jiao took Miss Meng Wu to throw the pot together. The two of them clearly met each other for the first time, but the relationship quickly became warm.

Shi Shi didn't taste it, just smiled and looked aside, happy that these two future concubines get along more.

The people around Ye Jiao and Miss Meng Wu playing together saw it in their eyes and remembered it.

Although Ye Jiao was born as a merchant, there was an official in the Qi family, Qi Ming, who was of marriageable age.

Now that Ye Jiao and Miss Meng Wu have a good relationship, they can't help but think more.

So after this banquet, there were many rumors outside.

It's just that the rumors are nothing but rumors, and many people just laugh when they hear it.

There is really a big gap between the two. One is from the Qi family, a farmer and merchant, and the other is from the high-ranking Meng family. Although it may not be considered heaven and earth, it can be considered extraordinarily whimsical, and there is no expectation that they will get together.

The women who had originally speculated gradually felt that the news was too untrue, and gradually stopped mentioning it.

But when everyone forgot, they heard that the emperor had made a clear will to give Qi Ming and the fifth girl of the Meng family a marriage.

For a time, the capital shook.

The author has something to say: Qi Ming: Why are so many people outside saying that Zhilan and I are getting married?I, I haven't asked yet

[After the imperial decree]

Qi Ming:......!!!
