Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Along the way, Ye Jiao didn't open the curtain to look out.

Usually sitting in the car, Little Ginseng always likes to look outside, but Ye Jiao has not done so today, for fear that he opened the curtain and entered the wind to blow Qi Yun.

Now that the Bai Hongguo hasn't grown, and when the life-saving things are not in his hands, Ye Jiao naturally has to be careful in everything.

There is only one father-in-law, so naturally you have to be careful.

Qi Yun could also see that Ye Jiao was nervous, feeling warm in his heart, and reached out and gently held Ye Jiao's hand.

The little ginseng leaned on the soft cushion, feeling the bump of the carriage, and simply leaned directly on the man's shoulder, muttering: "How long is there?"

Qi Yun estimated: "It will be time for at most one cup of tea."

Ye Jiao still kept the posture of leaning against Qi Yun, touched the food box with her hand, took out a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. The cheeks she ate were swollen and her words were a little vague: Let me tell you what you can see later."

Qi Yun adjusted her posture to make Ye Jiao lean more comfortably, and then whispered to her.

According to folklore, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a serious day to make lanterns, but in fact, preparations will start from a few years ago.

From the first to the fifteenth, the half-month period is for the people to have fun.

The ancients once had a word cloud: "East wind leaves flowers and thousands of trees at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain. The road is full of BMW carving cars." This is what it is today.

The fireworks in the sky are like stars falling like rain, the surrounding lanterns are dazzling, and the streets are full of people, which is the most lively.

Due to the large number of people, there are often scenes side by side. When you have a good time, there will be hairpins and ornaments that you will not notice.

So in the middle of the night, someone will carry a small lamp to look for it back and forth in the street, picking up these leftover small objects and selling them, often allowing them to make a small windfall.

After hearing this, Ye Jiao subconsciously touched the jade hairpin on her head: "This is given to me by my husband, so don't dare to lose it."

Qi Yun squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "As long as the Jiao Niang is here, you don't need to care too much about whether other objects are lost or not."

Ye Jiao poked him: "Xiang Gong's words are wrong. You bought everything with the money you earned. Xiang Gong has worked so hard every day. If you lose it, wouldn't you lose the hard work of Xiang Gong?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun replied in a serious manner: "The lady is really right, because she was careless."

Ye Jiao could hear him coaxing herself, but she ignored him and touched another candied fruit into her mouth.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Tiezi said outside: "Second young master, second young grandmother, we are at the place," his voice paused, "there are so many people outside, the carriage may not get in."

Ye Jiao didn't say a word, but looked at Qi Yun, waiting for him to make up his mind.

It's just that Ye Jiao didn't know that this was the first time Qi Yun came out to go shopping, and it was naturally the first time he encountered this situation.

However, Qi Yun looked particularly calm. He stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked out. After identifying the location, he said: "Let’s go down first, Tiezi, you can store the carriage in a wine shop not far away, and wait until you go back. Just take it."

Tiezi responded and moved the low stool to help them get out of the car.

Ye Jiao was dressed in a moon-white dress with a thick jacket and a red cloak, which looked delicate and noble.

On the other hand, Qi Yun, in furry fur clothes and furry hat, wrapped him tightly, but it was all black. If it is in the dark, I am afraid it will blend with the night.

However, many people on the street wear masks, or use bamboo to make bones and shake objects on white paper. Qi Erlang doesn't think he is too strange.

When Tiezi went to park the carriage, the two took Xiaosu and turned around nearby.

It didn't take long for Xiao Su to have a few more paper bags in his hands. Inside were small objects bought by Ye Jiao. They weren't too big and weighed little to lift.

Ye Jiao didn't buy anything to eat. She was probably slapped in the Qi's house by the skilled chef. Ye Jiao is a bit picky about what she eats now.

Qi Yun's eyes rolled on Ye Jiao, and he carefully pulled his own wife, for fear of being washed away by the crowd.

Anything you lose is fine, but you have to be optimistic about it.

After a while, Qi Yun saw Ye Jiao standing in front of a jade stall.

It's better to say that it's jade, it's better to say that it's some infamous gadgets, from pendants to earrings.

The price is also cheap, most of them are in dozens of texts. Looking at the quality of jade, most of them are inferior.

Although the vendor felt that the bulging bag worn by Qi Yun looked like a big hair ball, he knew that it was a good-quality fur garment, and Ye Jiao was even more exquisitely dressed, and immediately put a smile on his face: "Mrs. What's the order? All the good things I brought here from Nanyang!"

Because the hawker couldn't see Qi Yun's face clearly, he couldn't estimate his age. In short, he couldn't be wrong to call the master.

Qi Yun didn't care too much, he didn't care much when he got two eyes on this stall.

Although Qi Jia Erlang hadn't really strolled down the street, he had seen a lot of good things. If it were just objects of this quality, I'm afraid he wouldn't even take a look.

But now Ye Jiao is looking straight at a stone placed in the corner, and pulling Qi Yun's sleeve: "That's really beautiful."

Qi Yun followed his eyes and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

That is a jade that looks a little impenetrable. It is different from other jade that is white or green as emerald. It is a jade that looks a bit lavender with a thin crack on it, which looks like It's like scraps broken by someone.

When the hawker saw that Ye Jiao was interested in this stone, he immediately smiled.

He always said that his stones were brought by the Nanyang caravan, but in fact he is an ordinary street vendor. Where can the rich district ask someone to go to Nanyang to bring things back? To die is to buy some low-grade jade that others don't want, or to buy things that others have lost.

This stone was picked up by him, and he kept it in his hand for a long time, but he has not found a buyer. I brought it out today just to try my luck.

After all, the color of this piece is not good enough to say, and there are cracks. This crack penetrates the whole piece of jade. It can't be concealed no matter how much it is covered. He was stingy and reluctant to give it away.

So, the hawker was ready to praise his piece of purple jade, but before he could speak, Qi Yun asked, "I don't know where did you get this piece of jade?"

The hawker immediately boasted: "This is the jade that floated across the sea in a boat. I spent a lot of money to get it from the Nanyang Caravan. Master, look at this fineness, this quality, this..."

"Make a price." Qi Yun said lightly.

Seeing him like this, the hawker rolled his eyes and stretched out **** directly: "Two hundred pens, I won't sell one penny less."

Ye Jiao didn't know the price of jade, but Qi Yun knew that jade of this quality could not be bought at a price, and this vendor could already be regarded as a wild asking price.

But Qi Yun calmly said to Ye Jiao, "Jiao Niang, can you give me a silver ingot?"

Ye Jiao immediately took a small silver ingot from the purse and handed it to him. When the vendor saw it, his eyes were straight.

Although the silver ingot is small, it's worth at least five hundred words!

Qi Yun looked at the hawker and said, "As long as you tell me where the jade comes from, and make it clear, this will be given to you."

The hawker did not hesitate at all, and poured out everything he knew: "I picked it up from a caravan a while ago...No, no, I bought it. They usually go to sea in summer and return after autumn. They should be resting right now. The place of residence is in a big mansion in the city. The owner's family name is Sun. You will find out when you inquire."

Qi Yun nodded and gave the silver ingot directly to the hawker. Then he picked up the jade and handed it to Ye Jiao. He smiled and said, "I'll give it to you."

Ye Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong with taking her own silver to buy things and giving it to herself. After all, the silver was given to him by Qi Yun for safekeeping. It was considered two people's money, so buying things would naturally be spent from here.

But when he was far away, Ye Jiao asked him, "Msang Gong, since he said he can sell it for two hundred words, why do you have to give him so much?"

Qi Yun never concealed Ye Jiao from anything, and explained everything clearly. This time is no exception: "What I want is not this piece of jade, but news. Now our liquor store is getting bigger and the money is getting bigger. There are more and more things, but some things are not easy to find, you need to ask people from the caravan to find it, but it is easy to inquire about the caravan. Now it is a blessing to be able to find out from this vendor."

Ye Jiao blinked, "Are you spending money for blessing?"

Qi Yun shook her hand: "Yes, there is no way to take advantage of this world, but when you encounter good luck, you can't be stingy, otherwise it is not a blessing, but a curse."

Ye Jiao nodded in her mind with some seemingly understanding, waiting to ponder it slowly later.

At this time, Tiezi also returned, and a few people walked towards the center of the town.

There are many lanterns on both sides of the street, and there are also crowded vaudeville stands. There are many people everywhere.

Ye Jiao kept holding Qi Yun's hand, leaning close to him, looking left and right with fresh eyes, but never thought of leaving Qi Yun.

At this time, someone stopped Qi Yun: "But the second young master of the Qi family?"

Qi Yun turned his head, and the exposed eyes saw a rich middle-aged man.

He had never seen this person, but Tie Zi had been helping Qi Yun run errands outside, and immediately recognized his identity, and whispered to Qi Yun: "Second Young Master, it is the treasurer of the bank."

As soon as Ye Jiao heard this name, she remembered, isn't she the shopkeeper Sun who was framed by the troublemaker in the wine shop from the Cai family last time?

Shopkeeper Sun also tried to yell because he recognized Tiezi. When he saw that the **** hair ball really stopped, he knew that he had not recognized the wrong person. He took two steps forward and smiled very kindly: "It's hard for Qi Er Young Master to make a trip. It's really fate to let Sun Mou meet." Then he looked at Ye Jiao and said with a smile, "The second young master and his wife are really talented and beautiful. They are born together. They must be able to live together. ."

Seeing that he was intentionally okay, Qi Yun slowed down and said, "Take advantage of Sun's treasurer."

Ye Jiao looked at the shopkeeper Sun strangely, a little puzzled. She couldn't see clearly the face of her own grandfather. Where did he see the appearance of a talented woman?

Being kind to people in the mall is the most basic. Now when he meets his future allies, Qi Yun also talks a few more words: "Why shopkeeper Sun is alone in the lantern?"

Shopkeeper Sun gave a wry smile: "It's not that I want to be alone. I had negotiated with my lady to stay in the city and watch the lanterns together. Who knows that she didn't know where to hear that the lanterns here are beautiful, so she insisted on pulling me. Isn’t that right? I came with her, but when she was going to buy things, she took her offenders and disappeared, leaving me alone."

Shopkeeper Sun said poorly, and Little Ginseng heard his grievance.

But Qi Yun noticed what he said "stay in the city", and thought of the fact that the hawker had just said that the caravan was living in a mansion surnamed Sun, so he couldn't help asking: "It turns out that treasurer Sun also has a house in the city."

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "It's just the blessing of the ancestors, leaving me a grand mansion of the Sun family. If Qi Er Youngo gets free in the future, he can go to my house to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, and Sun will definitely welcome him. "

Sure enough, the caravan is in the house of the treasurer Sun!

Qi Yun was sure. The corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, but his hat was obstructing him, but his voice was much smoother: "Then it won't be less disturbing."

Ye Jiao saw the excitement of shopkeeper Sun and Qi Yun, and did not speak. She stood beside Qi Yun obediently. Without releasing Qi Yun's hand, she still held it tightly, but the eyes of Little Ginseng were looking nearby. .

Then I saw a stall three steps away with a lantern hanging on it.

The lantern is a bead lamp. The five-color beads are woven into a net and turned into a jade rabbit shape. There are tassels embellished underneath, which is especially eye-catching.

This was the biggest lantern Ye Jiao saw when she arrived in town, and she couldn't help but glance at it twice.

At this time, several people were attracted by this lantern.

"Ye Tisha, the master and his wife said they are going to see the lights." Liu Rong said beside Ye Pingrong.

Ye Pingrong has been following the Duan Wang Chu Chengyun and Duan Wang Concubine Meng not far behind, and he dared not relax for a moment. Hearing this, he asked: "Aren't these all lights?"

Liu Rong pointed to the jade rabbit bead lantern: "The master said that he wanted to see that one."

The jade rabbit lantern hung there, but it was conspicuous, and Ye Pingrong immediately said: "Go, follow up, and tell the brothers not to leave the master two feet away."

"Yes."
