Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Chu Chengyun asked Qi Yun to sit down, and after having tea, he talked to Qi Yun about the caravan, but it was a matter of national importance.

Although today's imperial court is a big business, the people are rich, but there are still many stumbling things.

As a royal family, even if he didn't want to become emperor, Chu Chengyun would inevitably have some worries about these things.

Qi Yun is different from him. Qi Jia Erlang has always been watching this world with cold eyes. If it were not for Ye Jiao, I'm afraid he would be so cold and waiting to die, but he also has an exquisite and seven-aperture mind, so he lives more in the world. A few copies of indifference.

But because of this indifference, he can always see things that others can't see, and because of that indifference, Qi Yun always has extra decisiveness in doing things.

Of course, for the latter, Qi Yun will not be easily known.

But after a few conversations, Chu Chengyun saw Qi Yun's difference and couldn't help but say: "Erlang, I see that you are very knowledgeable and have extensive reading. Why not participate in the imperial examination to serve the country?"

Qi Yun's expression was calm, and his voice was faint: "The imperial examination is not only about learning, but also depends on luck. Since ancient times, being an official is the virtue of an official to benefit one party, but my body is not good, since I was born, I took soup medicine. When you drink water, even if you can endure the pain of scientific research, I am afraid that you will die on the road when you take office. It is really powerless to be an official."

There was a pity in Chu Chengyun's eyes, but listening to Qi Yun's light coughing voice, he still couldn't bear to persuade.

Ye Pingrong, who stood at the door and listened to the whole process, had a somewhat inexplicable expression. He always felt that his brother-in-law would not only contribute to the court. After all, he talked to Qi Yun twice about this, and Qi Yun only said that he wanted to give Ye Jiao a good one. Life, never talked about family, country, world.

But listening to Ye Pingrong, he felt that what Qi Yun said was quite reasonable.

Although he has been fighting in the frontier for many years, he has been fighting from the bottom of the small soldiers, and he usually comes into contact with soldiers and swords, and has no knowledge of these business officialdom.

But when Ye Pingrong was at the border, he often heard the guard soldiers talk about the caravans. Most of the caravans were involved in extremely dangerous trade. But whether they were porcelain or tea, they were the land of the barbarians Di Rong. They are all more expensive than gold, which is very profitable.

However, most of these activities were done in private, and were not exposed to the public.

Ye Pingrong was already worried that Qi Yun would upset Chu Chengyun when he said this directly, but the inexplicable Chu Chengyun was not only not upset, but also willing to pay...

Ye Pingrong fell into confusion again.

The generals who spoke out from the farmers were obviously not good at fighting hearts. Ye Pingrong thought about it, but in the end he could only come to a conclusion that convinced him——

Could it be that my brother-in-law is really an upright and generous person who is worried about the country and the people?

I hadn't noticed it before, but Qi Yun was probably hiding it too well.

Thinking about it this way, the person my sister married is really good. With this loyalty and enthusiasm to the court, I can see that he is a good man. Ye Dalang expressed his satisfaction.

But in the hall, the caravan matter had become more eye-catching, and the expression on Qi Yun's face was also relaxed.

Chu Chengyun was also very happy to watch, and said on a whim: "I heard that the jade liquor from the Qijia Restaurant is very famous. I have been fascinated by it. I wonder if I can have a drink together?"

After hearing this, Qi Ming coughed lightly: "Brother Yi said that his sister-in-law is not in good health and can't smell the wine?"

Chu Chengyun naturally remembered this, and smiled: "I only have a drink, until I finish the order, I don't want the lady to worry about me."

Qi Yun heard this and suddenly looked at Qi Ming.

This look made Qi Ming feel a little strange, but soon Qi Yun staggered his eyes, with a simple expression on his face: "San Gongzi is so kind and generous, I won't be stingy." As he said, Qi Yun turned his head. In front of Song Guan said, "Take out the newly brewed wine."

This newly brewed wine is not Yuye wine, but a carefully improved new wine.

Sweet as honey, although pungent than unusual wines, it is extremely mellow and has a long aftertaste.

Manager Song was about to go, but he heard Qi Yun say: "Don't take the unsealed one. Open a new bottle. Only a good wine can match the friends I made today."

In fact, Guanshi Song is a very shrewd person. After spending so many years in the shop, he has never met many people. Guanshi Song is usually a person who has eight calculations in his heart. Just now, he was confused just because of the head of his young boss. It turned so fast that he couldn't keep up.

But I just listened to it, how can I not know that this is Qi Yun looking for money for the caravan!

Now that he heard Qi Yun's words again, Guan Shi said in his heart that this wine has only been delivered these two days, and it has not been opened...Oh, I understand.

Therefore, Guan Shi, who knows what he knows, made a distressed look: "Master, this wine is very precious. There are only two bottles in total. If it is fully opened..."

Qi Yun admired Song Guan with his eyes, but he said in a deep voice, "It's gone, no amount of gold and expensive wine can match the heart of the third son for the country, how can I feel sorry."

Guan Shi also knew how to stop, and immediately got up to get it.

But this coming and going made Chu Chengyun a little curious: "What wine is so rare?"

Qi Yun smiled faintly: "It's just a newly brewed rice wine from a small shop. It's not too rare to say, but it's still higher than Yuye wine."

Chu Chengyun didn't compare with the wine beside him, only compared with his own. Chu Chengyun looked at Qi Yun one layer higher.

But he didn't know that Qi Yun said this only because he could hear that Chu Chengyun had never drunk Yuye Liquor.

Chu Chengyun had some longing for it, even if he was not a good person, but after hearing this, his heart was itchy.

Soon Guan Shi brought up the wine, but it was just poured out and there was no entrance. Chu Chengyun said, "Good wine."

Qi Ming looked at him a little puzzled: "If you don't drink it, you will know?"

Chu Chengyun patted Qi Ming on the shoulder: "As long as the wine is good, you can smell the mellow aroma of the wine before you drink it. You know it is a good wine by smelling it."

This made Qi Ming some want to reach out, but Qi Yun knocked directly on his forehead.

Qi Ming covered his head and looked at his second brother, and listened to Qi Yun saying: "It will take two years to reach your drinking age."

"Oh." Qi Ming replied, and obediently retracted his hand.

Chu Chengyun picked up the wine glass, touched his lips, and said: "It's really a good wine."

Qi Yun's expression softened: "Although this wine does not have a name yet, it is a blessing for the third son to praise it."

No name?

Just start one.

Chu Chengyun thought for a while, and said, "Today I have a relationship with my husband, and I have encountered such a good wine, how about choosing a name for him together?"

Qi Yun put down the wine glass and nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, since the third son has this kind of yaxing, Song is in charge, take the pen and ink."

As soon as he said this, Qi Ming who was drinking tea almost choked himself.

No wonder... No wonder the second brother stared at him just now!

When the three of them were visiting the garden together, Qi Yun talked about naming the new wine.

At that time, Qi Ming himself suggested that Qi Yun choose Taibai poems, and he himself said that San Gongzi wrote a good handwriting, and it was a good thing for him to nominate the new wine.

But after saying this, Qi Ming was doing scientific research and forgot to clean it all at once.

Unexpectedly, my second brother remembered clearly.

It's all right now. Brother Yi took the initiative to bring it up. The second brother really doesn't waste any chance, and never let go when it's time to seize it.

In the end, it was named Jinzunjiu because of the slightly golden fragrant liquor, and Chu Chengyun even wrote the word Jinzun.

Holding this word, Qi Yun thought, it really was just as Qi Ming said, Chu Chengyun wrote a good hand, Ling Feifengwu, elegant and Lingran.

It's just missing a seal... It doesn't matter if you don't cover it, if you don't cover it, you won't be able to put it on the wine jar and sell it.

However, Chu Chengyun did not follow the two of them to the Qi's house. He was originally to be with Qi Ming. He has also talked about it now. He also got the idea of ​​Qi Yun's caravan. He was naturally happy and wanted to go back and meet him early. Meng's sharing, he left early.

After he left, Qi Yun went home with Qi Ming.

Qi Ming deliberately asked Qi Yun whether what he and Chu Chengyun had just said was true or false, but as soon as he got home, he was called away by the Liu family, and there was no chance.

Qi Yun went back to the yard directly, his heart was full of Ye Jiao, naturally he didn't want to delay for a moment.

Entering the door cautiously, Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao hadn't woke up yet when he saw that the bed curtain had not been opened.

He went to change his clothes, washed his hands and face, and then lay back on the bed with the curtains open again, but instead of sleeping with his eyes closed, he just lay on his side, with his hands lightly resting on Ye Jiao, a pair of clear eyes staring fixedly. Look at my lady.

Even though everyone else said that Ye Jiao's ease of pregnancy is still stable after four months, and she is not vomiting nor tired, which should be extremely blessed.

However, Qi Yun felt that his wife was very hard.

Ye Jiao usually likes to go out for a walk. The little ginseng probably spent too long in the deep mountains. Now that he has become a human, he naturally likes places with smoke and fire, whether it is to find the Dong family or to stroll around the town, even if Ye Jiao had great enthusiasm for drinking a bowl of wonton on the street.

But after discovering that she was pregnant, Ye Jiao obediently stayed at home and stopped going out, that is, walked around at home, and spent more time to sleep.

But even if you sleep, you don't have the kind of comfort it used to be.

Qi Yun and Ye Jiao slept in the same bed for a few months. Naturally, I knew that her daughter was the most comfortable when she fell asleep. However, it was often when Qi Yun fell asleep that the two of them lay down, but when they wake up, they can see Ye. Jiao lay on herself.

Especially after Qi Yun got better, Ye Jiao became more attached to him.

But now look at Ye Jiao's sleeping position, lying flat, looking extra upright, for fear of the little life squeezed into his stomach, but it made Qi Yun feel tired.

He felt sorry for Ye Jiao, and was reluctant to let him suffer a little bit, so he tried his best to find time to spend time with his wife.

At this moment, Qi Yun lay on his side, stretched out his hand, and gently kneaded Ye Jiao's legs and squeezed her arms to make her more comfortable.

The eyes are looking at the woman's slightly protruding abdomen under the quilt, and she whispered: "You must be filial to your mother in the future, and you can't live up to her hard work, otherwise, I will not forgive you.

But when these words came out, Qi Yun felt that he was stupid, what did he say to her stomach, this baby couldn't hear it again.

Little Ginseng didn't know what her father-in-law was doing. In her dream, she only felt soft and very comfortable. When she woke up, she would see Qi Yun.

Even if she didn't wake up completely, she subconsciously reached out to Qi Yun.

Where is Qi Jia Erlang's high spirits when he was just in the wine shop, and now he has become tender and affectionate towards Ye Jiao, hugged Ye Jiao gently, and sat up with her half-holding, gently giving She patted her back.

Ye Jiao lazily tilted her head on Qi Yun's shoulder, yawned, but did not speak.

After a long while, Ye Jiao moved her mouth: "My husband, I'm hungry."

Qi Yun couldn't help but smile when he heard the words: "I know, Jiao Niang has a baby in her belly. I don't know, I thought Jiao Niang became a milk doll."

Ye Jiao didn't understand, but she didn't bother to sit up straight, and just asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's getting more clingy."

Ye Jiao knew he was teasing herself, so she stretched out her hand and gently punched him on the back: "I am happy to stick to you, and my husband should be happy too."

Qi Yun immediately hugged her tighter: "Happy, of course happy."

But soon Ye Jiao let go of Qi Yun and put on the jacket. The little ginseng who woke up completely returned to the usual enthusiasm, especially for eating, she always has great enthusiasm.

The person next to her was pregnant in October and was always unwilling to eat and drink, but Ye Jiao was different, her appetite was getting better and better.

When it was time for dinner, the Qi family gathered in one place to catch the wind for Qi Ming, but the Liu family, who had just held Qi Ming not letting go, now only stared at Ye Jiao.

She could see that Ye Jiao was hungry, but even if the daughter-in-law she taught herself was hungry now, she had her own manners when eating.

The speed did not decrease, but he didn't show any eagerness when he raised his hand and shot the chopsticks.

And Liu looked at her not only because he wanted to see her training results, but more importantly, the appearance of Ye Jiao's food was really flattering.

In fact, finding someone to eat is also knowledgeable. His eldest daughter-in-law, Fang Shi’s plump, usually eats less, for fear that one more bite will have an extra piece of meat. One bite of food will be chewed for a while, and one bite of rice will take a long time. So he was unwilling to eat with her, and I always felt that looking at her, my own food was not good.

Ye Jiao is different. She is always curious about everything and she is not picky about eating. She eats all delicious foods, and she has a particularly religious feeling when eating. Little ginseng used to eat more soil, but now she feels that everything is better than soil. When you eat, you just love to eat everything. Naturally, you are full of kindness to every bite. No matter how you eat, you feel sweet.

When you eat, you will bend the corners of your mouth, and your eyes will be curved like a crescent moon, and it hurts when you look at it.

Liu thought, watching Jiao Niang eat, it's really a meal.

Fang clan next to Ye Jiao, watching Ye Jiao add another bowl of rice, he couldn't help but whispered: "Jiao Niang, more?"

Liu's smiled, and said: "The Jiao Niang is now a double-body person. It is normal to eat more."

Ye Jiao could hear that both Liu and Fang were concerned about her, so she took a chopstick dish to Liu and another chopstick to Fang: "Sister-in-law, today's chicken stew is extremely soft and bad, and you too Eat some."

Fang looked at the chicken in the bowl, and neither did he eat it for a while, nor did he not eat it, but eventually he put it in his mouth.

It is delicious, and Fang, who has not eaten meat for a long time, was moved for a moment.

The snack after the meal is the snowflake cake made by the little ginseng.

This is what Ye Jiao wanted to eat. The small kitchen made with great care. The glutinous rice was pounded extremely soft and rotten, with black sesame and sugar fillings in the middle. It was steamed and cut open. Just smelling the taste, it feels very delicious. of.

Even Fang, who was always taboo, took a piece, and the small stones had one on his left hand and one on his right.

The Liu family knew that Ye Jiao liked it, so he specially prepared a food box for her to take some back, and put it as a snack tomorrow.

After some more tea, the whole family gathered together to talk and laugh, watching the sky sinking outside before dispersing.

Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to carry the food box and pulled Qi Yun by herself, preparing to go outside for a walk, and watch how the peach blossoms in the backyard were blooming.

Qi Ming, who had been with Liu's family in the afternoon, finally had the opportunity to talk to Qi Yun for a while, so he ran to catch up: "Second brother, stay."

Qi Yun was supporting his wife, stopped after hearing this, and turned to look.

Ye Jiao was leaning on Qi Yun, and when she saw Qi Ming, she smiled and said to him: "The third brother."

Qi Ming hurriedly bowed to Ye Jiao, and then looked at Qi Yun. The face that always looked like a small adult had some eagerness, but because of Ye Jiao's presence, he was afraid of disturbing his second wife. Qi Ming worked hard. He slowed his voice and said softly, "Second brother, I have something to ask you."

Qi Yun didn't hide Ye Jiao at all, and now he didn't walk away after hearing this. Instead, he reached out to close the jacket that Ye Jiao was wearing, and said to Qi Ming, "To make a long story short."

Qi Ming also knew that Ye Jiao was heavy now, and her second brother was the most nervous, but she did not dare to delay, and said hurriedly: "It was when I was in the shop this afternoon, I didn't understand why Brother Yi would so easily agree to Your caravan pays money?"

Hearing the words, Qi Yun glanced at him faintly: "You don't want to be transparent?"

Qi Ming tried hard to think about it again, and finally shook his head honestly: "Brother is dull, please ask second brother to clarify."

Qi Yun did not hide it, and directly said to his brother: "Don't think that the third son is stupid. On the contrary, he has his own intelligence, but he thinks things differently from you and me, so I think about him. He won’t see it, or even if he sees it, he doesn’t care."

After Qi Yun guessed that the third son was the Phoenix son and Longsun, he thought about what to say and do next. The reason why he could achieve his goal was only because Qi Yun had thoroughly understood Chu Chengyun's thoughts.

"He and I are both seeking profit, but what I am seeking is for my own benefit. All I want is money, which is a trivial way. He seeks profit, and what he wants is the gift of the country, and what he wants is the peace of the country. Great road. I ask for different but can coexist. It can be regarded as the same goal by different routes. Only this can make me plan."

Qi Yun said these words clearly. Qi Ming listened to his ears, and after thinking about it, he respectfully bowed to Qi Yun: "Thank you, brother, brother has been taught."

When Qi Ming thought about it, Qi Yun was indeed asking for money, but what he said was not all lies, but the truth.

It seems that my second brother is indeed a worrying person, and I still underestimate him.

With a smile on his face again, Qi Ming was about to leave, but he heard Ye Jiao ask softly: "Msang Gong, do you have money in your caravan?"

Ye Jiao was in charge of Qi Yun's money, so she could know more or less some outside matters.

She didn't care what Qi Yun was doing, but Ye Jiao could see why Qi Yun was worried recently.

Even if Little Ginseng doesn't say anything, but what she pretends in her heart is Qi Yun alone, she will naturally remember it, who is worried about her husband.

Even if he didn't say anything, Ye Jiao would be happy now that Qi Yun's problem was solved.

Hearing the words, Qi Yun smiled and embraced her waist, with the other hand protecting her slightly bulging abdomen, warmly said: "Well, today this matter has been resolved, and if you meet someone, he will pay for it."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but tilted her head: "So many, is he out?"

Qi Ming originally thought that Qi Yun would explain to Ye Jiao what he just said to him. Who knows, Qi Yun smiled gently and said, "Yes, anyway, he has a lot of money, so he doesn't need it for nothing."

Qi Ming:...

What are you talking about now, why is it different from what you said before?

Ye Jiao didn't ask too much, thinking about solving it, she didn't care who came out.

Then the two couples walked together and looked very close.

Instead, he left Qi Ming behind, thinking for a while, and finally transparent, and then looking at the sky speechlessly.

Brother Yi, I'm sorry for you!
