Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

On this year's birthday, Qi Yun still didn't think about who he would invite, so he just closed the door and passed by himself.

Because Qi's father and Liu's family didn't want to live in the capital for a long time, there was enough rain before, and it was unavoidable to worry people on the way back, so they stayed for a while.

It was originally at Qiming Mansion, but the old couple looked open and felt that the deep house compound was very bored, so they wanted to change places.

Qi Yun took them to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, where the mountains were full of red leaves, the brook was gurgling, and the forest behind was also very quiet and very suitable for living.

This day after Qi Yun and Ye Jiao went to Zhuangzi to meet their parents, when they returned, they sat in the car and Qi Yun gently held Ye Jiao’s satiny hand, and said softly: I said privately that they will go back in a few days."

Ye Jiao was leaning on the man's shoulder, and she couldn't help but straighten up a bit. She was a little surprised: "Didn't we discuss before going back together?"

Qi Yun tilted his head and kissed the woman’s forehead, with a soft voice: "My father and mother came this time for Saburo’s marriage. Now Saburo has become a relative, and his younger brothers and sisters are also kind. It is reassuring, as are the children. Kang Jian is well-behaved. My parents have resolved their concerns and naturally want to go back."

Neither the Qi father nor the Liu clan had ever been attached to the capital.

For ordinary people, the capital is full of flowers and pavilions, even if it is just a walk on the street, the wealth on both sides can dazzle people. The more wealthy the place, the more opportunities, such as Fang Li and Dong. , Even if I left the shop I had accumulated for several years, I wanted to make a break in the capital.

But Qi's father is different from Liu's. When they are old, they are no longer the age longing for being drunk and gold fans. What they are thinking of is a few children. And Qi's father is the role of Liu, and they would rather stay in their hometown. When they are rich and idlers, it is better to live in this house here.

One day or two days is fine, it is a pastime, but after a long time, it will inevitably feel bored.

Qi Yun said again: "What's more, Yue'er is still young, and my mother is so worried and always talking. If we go back together, we will have to wait two or three months. Since my parents are thinking about home, it is good to go back first. Now that the waterway is smooth, it’s quicker to go back by boat and you won’t suffer.

Ye Jiao nodded and leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder again, counting the days in her heart: "We will go home for the New Year in a few months, and we will naturally be able to meet again then."

Qi Yun shook Ye Jiao's hand again, and said, "Today is the birthday of the lady, how do you want to live it?"

Little Ginseng knew that Qi Yun was asking herself to make a wish, but she thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything special she wanted to do.

For this reason, Ye Jiao took out her hand from Qi Yun's palm, but did not count her own, but gently counted Qi Yun's fingers: "The children are all fine, and the parents are fine. Maple Leaf looked at it. I saw it. I studied books together yesterday, and there seems to be nothing I want to do."

Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment: "Jiao Niang, when did you study books? Did the children come and beg you to study again?"

Ye Jiao yawned and said slowly, "I learned from you."

Qi Yun: ...oh.

After recovering, Qi Erlang decisively chose not to continue to ask. Instead, he held Ye Jiao’s fingertips and said warmly, “Then we’ll stay at home for a day. I’m not going to look at the accounts, and you will also keep the accounts at home. Let’s see it tomorrow. Today, the shopkeeper Wei said that he would bring an extremely fresh herring. I called the chef in the restaurant to make fish ball soup and eat it with a pot in the evening, okay?"

I have to say that Qi Yun has thoroughly studied his wife. Compared with those fancy things, delicious food is obviously more pleasing to Ye Jiao.

Sure enough, Ye Jiao laughed and nodded again and again, and then took Qi Yun's arm, wondering what else he wanted to eat at night.

Say one, Qi Yun took one in his heart, and went back home just like that.

When I got off the bus, I saw Dong Wu, a small servant, standing at the door.

Nowadays, Dong Wu has changed from a small servant who could only clean up outside to a close servant. Although he still does chores, he has neat hands and feet, and his mouth is even more clever. Some ordinary errands will do Do it for him, Dong Wu can be regarded as a good man in the house.

However, in front of the master, Dong Wu had always been diligent, and now he saw the carriage coming, hurried forward to help pull the cart, moved the low stool, helped Qi Yun get out of the car and stepped aside, watching Qi Yun help Ye Jiao, and the two stood there. Then Dong Wu stepped forward and said, "Master, the little prince of the Prince Gong's house and the little prince Xiao Xiao are here."

Qi Yun didn't feel surprised when he heard it.

Since Chu Jingxian had talked about poems with Xu Bao before, he liked Xu Bao very much, and would always find Xu Bao in his spare time. Most of them were reading books. Two little bookworms were lucky to get together.

Xiao Zhengfu has been with Chu Jingxian all the time. In addition, he is two years old and calm. When Chu Jingxian's stubborn temper comes up, only Xiao Zhengfu can stop him. With him, the scene is always peaceful. of.

Normally, these two people often go to Qi's house. It is also common to come here now. Qi Yun said indifferently, "Did the snacks go by?"

"Sent over."

"Where are they?"

"In Mr. Feng's study, when the little one went to deliver food, His Royal Highness and Young Master Xu were reading a book."

Qi Yun nodded, no longer asked, just pulled Ye Jiao in.

I thought that the children would have time to play in one place and let the couple get along for a while. Who knows Xu Bao’s head is so good, I always count this day, knowing that this is my mother’s birthday. , So even if he still wanted to read more books, after hearing Qing Feng say that Ye Jiao was back, he put down the book and left.

Chu Jingxian hurriedly stretched out his hand and asked him, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Although Xu Bao was young, he had a good memory. Knowing that Qi Yun had said that Ye Jiaochen couldn't disclose his birth casually, Xu Bao just replied in a soft voice: "Go to my mother, I miss her."

These words didn't feel new to a six-year-old child. After all, Chu Jingxian was also the first child to find the princess to hold after returning home.

However, Chu Jingxian came here today not only to talk about poetry and essays with him. He touched the things in his arms, got up without saying a word, and followed Xu Bao and said, "I will go with you."

Xu Bao was taken aback: "Little Prince, what are you going to do with me?"

"You said that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was made by Mrs. Qi personally who ordered someone to obtain sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus. Since I ate it, I naturally have to go and thank you in person."

When Xiao Zhengfu heard this, his face felt helpless.

In fact, Xu Bao said before that he wanted to read books such as the General Geography, but books on this subject would not normally flow into the folks, even if it was not in Qi Yun's study.

After Chu Jingxian listened to it, he wrote it down, and when he returned home, he pulled out a copy of "Yudi Jisheng", which he wanted to show Xu Bao today.

However, Xiao Zhengfu knows that his little prince’s temper is the most stubborn, but the knife-mouthed tofu heart, sometimes looks domineering and self-willed, in fact, he is very soft-hearted, but it really made him take the initiative to take out the book and give it to others. Can't take it back, Chu Jingxian is obviously looking for an opportunity.

Xiao Zhengfu wanted to help him break it, but if the words came out of Xiao Zhengfu's mouth, I was afraid that Chu Jingxian was going to be angry, so Xiao Xiao Gongzi simply kept silent, just followed the two of them and went to the hall together.

In the past, I did not see Qi Yun and Ye Jiao. The remaining woman said that they had brought the two young masters to the garden behind. Xu Bao turned around and took Chu Jingxian and Xiao Zhengfu to his garden.

In Qi's house, there are two gardens.

One is slightly smaller. Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, there are rockeries, running water, and corridors. It is very elegant, but this place is used to grow medicinal flowers. In the past, the dragon and phoenix fetus could only be placed in a small bed. , Ye Jiao often takes them there.

But now the dragon and phoenix fetuses can run and jump, especially Ruyi, the most lively and active. Ye Jiaosheng is afraid that she will take the herbs down and stuff her mouth to eat herself badly, so now he is taking the children to another one. The big garden.

There is what an ordinary garden should look like, with small bridges and flowing water, blooming flowers, and sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn.

When Xu Bao went, he saw Ruyi running after the butterfly, while Ning Bao had been following closely, staring at Ruyi for fear that she would fall.

Xiao Hei also followed. The big rooster walked in four directions, occasionally fluttering its wings, and following Ruyi's side, he would be careful not to disturb the butterfly.

And Mrs. Mo followed along, neither letting her shadow obstruct the sight of the two little masters, nor too far away, she should go to help as soon as they might fall, which is especially particular about it. skill.

Qi Yun's eyes have not been removed from Ruyi, Ye Jiao sat at the stone table with a ball fan, shaking it occasionally, holding Yansheng Grass in her arms, taking extra care.

Because Yansheng grass blooms every three years and bears fruit every three years, what Ye Jiao wants is its fruit, and during this period, the small ginseng must be well maintained.

Seeing Xu Bao coming, Ye Jiao smiled and waved to him. When Xu Bao ran over, Ye Jiao slapped a fan, took out the veil, wiped the little guy's face, and squeezed it, feeling very good. , Squeezed again, then looked up at Chu Jingxian and Xiao Zhengfu and smiled: "Are you thirsty? The milk tea just made, drink some."

Because the two come here often, even if one of them is a relative of the emperor, there are not so many rules for this frequent visitor.

Chu Jingxian immediately nodded and thanked him, and took the cup and drank it, while Xiao Zhengfu took a sip with a smile, feeling that the taste was excellent, and then drank it all.

Ye Jiao picked up the tuan fan and shook it again, looking down at Xu Baowen and said: "Are you tired of reading?"

Xu Bao shook his head with a clear voice: "Xu Bao is not tired, I miss my mother, and I miss my younger siblings." Then Xu Bao felt Qi Yun's glance over him, and he immediately followed up, "I still want to think about both. "

Ye Jiao smiled, touched the top of his hair, and said softly, "I'm going to go out for a long time in school. Go and play with your younger siblings."

"Where is my mother?"

"Before, your Aunt Shi brought fresh grapes. I picked the grape seeds and asked you to eat them when they were ready."

Xu Bao responded, and then walked over to help Ruyi flutter the butterfly together.

But Chu Jingxian wouldn't let him just walk like this. He immediately followed and said behind Xu Bao: "Before, I saw a book in the study."

As soon as this word came out, Xu Bao stopped immediately and looked back at him.

At this moment, the two of them had already reached the steps of the long corridor. Facing the sunlight, Xiao Zhengfu stretched out his hand and pulled them both, letting them retreat into the shade, but didn't listen much, just walked over and smiled at Xiao Ruyi's butterfly. Occasionally, I would go there to help, but I had fun.

Xu Bao was staring at Chu Jingxian. He was always smart. He knew what Chu Jingxian meant when he heard these words. His face immediately showed expectation: "His Royal Highness, did you find any strange book? "

Chu Jingxian showed a complacent look on his face at first, but quickly tried to converge, snorted, and said: "It's just the "Yudi Jisheng", you don't want to watch it..."

But before he finished speaking, he felt his arm being hugged.

Chu Jingxian looked over with a little surprise, and saw a pair of bright eyes.

Although the two are not much different in age, Chu Jingxian is still slightly taller than Xu Bao, and Xu Bao is well raised by Ye Jiao. Although he is not as round as when he was a child, he still has some soft flesh.

At this moment, Chu Jingxian felt that he was holding this little thing of his own flesh, and leaning in front of him vigorously, his voice was full of excitement: "I want to see, show me!"

Chu Jingxian took a half step back in fright, but soon stabilized, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Why, you won't be called your Highness now?"

Xu Bao thought he was saying that he had no rules, so he hurriedly followed up: "His Royal Highness Fu'an Jixiang, let me see."

When someone else said that, Chu Jingxian felt nothing, but Xu Bao was different.

It is rare for him to meet someone who is also willing to read or even obsessed with books. Chu Jingxian especially does not like this person to flatter himself like others.

So Chu Jingxian did something that even he himself felt naive.

He took the book out of his arms and deliberately shook the words "Yudi Jisheng" on the cover in front of Xu Bao, then raised his arm high.

Xu Bao's eyes followed the book, and his head turned wherever the book was. When Chu Jingxian raised his hand, Xu Bao subconsciously stood on tiptoe to grab it.

But after all he was shorter than Chu Jingxian, and he couldn't reach it.

But this appearance made Chu Jingxian all laugh, and his voice softened a little, as if he was coaxing him, warmly said: "You promise me one thing, and I will show it to you."

Xu Bao immediately looked at Chu Jingxian and nodded again and again: "I agree, just let me see."

"From now on, call me Brother Chu, not my Highness."

This request sounds peculiar, Xu Bao blinked his eyes, and then said neatly: "Okay, Brother Chu!"

I probably wanted to hear it for too long. Now that I heard it, Chu Jingxian only felt comfortable all over.

He feels comfortable and speaks easily, and immediately put the book into Xu Bao's arms: "This is the first book, and there are several more. I will replace it with another one after you finish reading it."

Xu Bao laughed when he heard that there was still a lot, and he couldn't hold the book rare.

However, Xiao Xubao was never a food alone. He grabbed Chu Jingxian and took him to sit on the cushion under the porch together.

Chu Jingxian has always been a person who walks, sits, and sleeps. He feels a little awkward when he sits directly on the cushion, but after reading with Xu Bao, he can't care much.

The two little people got together, very warm.

And Xiao Zhengfu looked at Chu Jingxian's book and sent it out, and the two of them were as good as one, and Xiao Zhengfu was also relieved.

I was about to go over and say something, but I saw Ruyi's foot unstable and fell straight down!

Ning Bao, who followed, reacted extremely quickly and pulled her over, but she was as old as two children. Even if Ning Bao was slightly higher, she had more strength. But in the end, it was a child that was very unstable. Not only did she fail to hold Ruyi, but also two. The individuals lay on the ground together.

Xiao Hei was so frightened that he spread his wings, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only go back and forth.

Mother Mo was startled, she hurriedly reached out and stopped, and then squatted down to support the two children. Fortunately, the grass was thick. The block behind Mother Mo prevented them from falling too hard. The body is a bit dirty, not hurt at all.

But Ruyi's big eyes looked at the flying butterfly, and the eye circles immediately turned red.

Xiao Ruyi is usually a soft-tempered and easy to talk, but the little girl has always insisted on what she likes. Before, she was able to catch the ball for the jade rabbit lantern. At this time, the little butterfly that had been chasing for a long time flew, and Ruyi was full of grievances.

Especially when I saw my elder brother in order to save himself, he also fell completely dirty at this moment, and the tears of wishful thinking immediately fell down.

She didn't make trouble, just crying, holding Ning Bao's hand, the tears were the broken beads, biting her lip, and seeing the appearance made Madam Mo feel bad.

Mother Mo hurriedly hugged Ruyi, "What's wrong with the girl, but where does it hurt?"

Ning Bao also came up and touched his younger sister. He was always calm and sluggish, but this time he was baffled by the wishful tears, and the speed of his speech became faster for several beats: "Does my sister hurt? Where does it hurt? "As he said, Ning Bao also stepped on the grass that had just been smashed by Ruyi, "It's broken here, my sister, my brother will help you beat it."

Ruyi was amused by Ning Bao. She stretched out her hand and wiped her tears, and gently earned it. After Madam Mo released her, the little girl walked over and hugged Ning Bao with a small voice: "Ruyi doesn't hurt. Does your brother hurt?"

Ning Bao straightened his chest up immediately: "It doesn't hurt, brother is great."

Ruyi smiled, but soon stopped smiling, squeezed his mouth and looked left and right, as if looking for the little butterfly who was still there.

At this time, she saw someone squatting in front of her, holding her hands vacantly, and when she loosened it slightly, Ruyi saw a butterfly slowly flapping its wings from the gap in his palm.

Ruyi immediately showed a big smile, and said in surprise: "Little Fudie!"

These words made Xiao Zhengfu laugh, but he also knew that Ruyi was so young that it was common to speak inaccurately, so he quickly recovered his usual gentleness and elegance, with a gentle voice: "Well, butterfly, sister Ruyi likes it? "

Ruyi nodded immediately, staring at the butterfly in Xiao Zhengfu's hand, feeling unclear, and walked a few steps over, the little fleshy hand gently grabbed Xiao Zhengfu's wrist, and looked over.

Ning Bao followed Ruyi, reaching out his hand as if protecting Ruyi from falling again.

Xiao Zhengfu smiled and said, "If Sister Ruyi likes it, I will put this butterfly in a cage as a gift for you."

But Ruyi nodded first, then shook her head, and said glutinously: "No, Little Butterfly's mother is waiting for it to go back for dinner, I will send it back to her mother after I play with it for a while."

Xiao Zhengfu didn't expect that a child of this size could conceive so many things in his head, but Xiao Zhengfu felt that this girl was kind, so he didn't say much, just squatted there and let Ruyi look at the butterflies, and waited for Ruyi to see enough. Then spread his palms.

The butterfly immediately fluttered its wings and took off, and soon disappeared.

This time Ruyi smiled, not at all sad, when the little butterfly flew away, she said softly to Xiao Zhengfu: "Thank you Brother Xiao." Then Ruyi stopped looking at him, just turned around and pulled Ning Baodao. , "Brother, Ruyi is hungry."

Ning Bao took Ruyi's little hand instead, and took her to find Ye Jiao.

Xiao Zhengfu stood up, patted the grass clippings on the hem of his shirt, and watched as Ruyi and Ning Bao trot all the way to Ye Jiao. He didn't fall any more, and then he returned to look for Chu Jingxian.

But Ye Jiao saw that the two children were dirty, but didn't worry.

It’s common for children to like to run and jump, and occasionally they fall. As long as they don’t hurt, the little ginseng is not too nervous. Just smile and pick up the grape meat that you have just peeled and picked. The two children stuffed their mouths one by one, and Ye Jiao smiled and said, "Is it sweet?"

Ning Bao nodded, but Ruyi replied crisply: "Sweet, more."

Ye Jiao touched Ruyi's face: "Then you and your elder brother will change clothes first, and my mother is peeling it off for you."

Ruyi answered, Ning Bao also nodded, and the two of them were held by Mrs. Mo and went to the house to change clothes.

And now, the stone came over.

He is different from his younger siblings. Xiao Shitou has to go to school every day, but because Mr. Tomorrow has to take the exam for his homework, he will be able to come back early after putting it out for half a day today.

Qi Yun didn't let him go back to study. Instead, he asked Xiao Shitou to sit across from him. He first poured him a cup of milk tea. Qi Erlang said indifferently when he handed it over: "What have you learned in the school in the past few days?"

Stone took the cup and replied: "The Analects."

Qi Yun nodded: "Then let me ask you a few paragraphs, you can explain one or two."

As soon as the stone heard it, he knew that this was Qi Yun who was going to test his homework, and he immediately sat down, his expression a little nervous.

Ye Jiao on the side had never read "The Analects", and didn't know what they were going to take. Just looking at Xu Bao, he continued to pick grapes with a silver stick.

After a while, when Qi Yun and Shitou stopped talking, Ye Jiao looked at them again.

Because Qi Zhao entrusted Qi Yun to Qi Yun, Qi Yun often tested him, and he was more concerned about his homework with stones than his own children, but Qi Yun's temper, Ye Jiao knew, no matter how good or bad it is, it is not straightforward. Say.

But Ye Jiao and Qi Yun have been together for many years, so they can naturally guess something. At this moment, Qi Yun neither frowned nor shook his head. It was because the stone had learned well and passed his level.

So Ye Jiao handed the grapes to the stone and said with a smile: "Come and eat some."

Seeing that Qi Yun hadn't let him go to school, Shishi could guess that he was satisfied with Qi Yun. He was also happy, so he smiled and agreed.

At this time, someone came to report: "Someone from the Wu family brought something."

As soon as he said this, Shishi immediately looked up.

Today is Ye Jiao's birthday, and several children know this.

Last year they made a kite together and gave it to Ye Jiao. This year they made a porcelain bottle together for Ye Jiao.

Stone knew that Wu Miao'er made porcelain at home, so he took the pictures of himself and three small paintings to Wu Miao'er, hoping that Wu Miao'er could help make a porcelain bottle as a gift to Ye Jiao.

To this end, Shishi also prepared a good ink ingot that Qi Yun had given him before, and the right was to buy a porcelain bottle.

At this moment, the things Wu's family gave must have been ordered by her.

Ye Jiao didn't know the inside story, so she smiled and asked, "Who is here?"

"It's the Wu family girl."

"Please come in."

"Yes."

Stone sat listening, his eyes a little confused.

Girl Wu?Brother Wu never said that there are sisters, where is the girl from?

Just thinking about it, I saw a little girl in a goose yellow dress walking into the garden holding a box, combing a well-behaved ingot bun, and saving a velvet flower, walking up to hire Tingting, with a delicate face, a soft smile .

The stone was silly at first glance, he was too familiar with this face, isn't it Brother Wu!

Brother Wu is really a girl?

What I told her before...

As soon as the stone was so frightened, the grape flesh fell to the ground.

Xiao Hei, who was waiting for an opportunity, rushed up immediately, turned his head while holding the grape meat in his mouth, and ran out of the garden with his wings flapping.

The author has something to say: Ruyi: Xiaofudie!

Ning Bao: It's Little Butterfly

Ruyi: Xiaofudie!

Ning Bao:...Well, Xiao Fudie
