Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

There is still a long way to go from Qi's house to the courtyard on the mountain.

Originally there was only one carriage and one ox cart in the family, but Qi Yun later purchased two more in case of emergency.

Generally speaking, carts are easy to buy, but horses and cattle to pull carts are not easy to get.

It is very precious for ordinary people to have a cow. The five strong labors on the top of a cow are naturally taken care of, and they are reluctant to pull carts, let alone horses, even if the carts are not comparable to those tall horses. , But we must also wait on good fodder, and we must not slacken our efforts.

However, the Qi family is not like ordinary people. The family is wealthy and has a special place to raise horses and cattle. Nowadays, life is better, and you can afford to buy horses.

When I went out today, there were two carriages and two ox carts. Although they didn't deliberately sway, even the fabrics used on the carriages were useless, but they still attracted a lot of people.

It is false to say that you do not envy, but it is just envy.

Many of these people have also benefited from the Qi family. They either contracted his family’s farmland or worked in the Qi family’s shop. The Qi family is their owner. Seeing that the Qi family is now prosperous, although they admire it, they still do it for Qi. Happy.

The owner is fine, and those who are pointing to the Qi family to eat can live a good life.

As the treasurer of the medicine store, Fang Li also visited the Qi's house in the morning. He naturally saw the ostentation of Qi's family going out, and when he returned, he described it to Dong's family.

Dong's body has recovered early now, seeing that his complexion is better than when he was pregnant. He couldn't help but smile after hearing Fang Li's words: "Okay, OK, every time you go to the boss and come back, you just boast. Found that you can speak so well?"

Fang Li couldn't help but coughed, and replied in a serious manner: "What I said is true. The owner is indeed a person who knows how to operate. It is difficult to choose one in a thousand miles."

Hearing this, Dong also nodded his head, and said with emotion: "Yes, you and I have been with the owner for these years, and now the situation of the owner is really getting better and better. The second master is outstanding. We have seen it, but except for the second master, they There is also the decency of the young master. The third young master is good at studying, and the owner is afraid that he will have great luck in the future."

Fang Li nodded, but he thought more than Dong's thoughts.

Today, the court encourages merchants and gives merchants the best benefits in all dynasties, but the highest status is undoubtedly the royal relatives and scholars.

Qi Jia Dalang can hold on to the family business, Qi Jia Erlang can get rich, Qi Jia Saburo can win the first prize in the scientific examination, the three brothers have chosen three paths, but they all go well.

Moreover, in Fang Li's view, in the future, they can help each other and complement each other. The future of the Qi family is far from being as simple as that of a rich family.

Fang Li thought to himself, and couldn't help but say: "In all things, our future is good or bad, and I'm afraid it will be tied to the second young master. The second young master is really an extraordinary person."

Dong tightly squeezed the tiger in his arms and dangled him to sleep, while his eyes were smiling and looking at Fang Li: "Come on, it's useless for you to tell me these good things. It's better to find some time and go to the host. Say, after all, you can't always praise him behind his back, and people can't listen. Isn't this a vain praise."

"Lady, everything I say is from the bottom of my heart, but don't confuse me with those campers who are always flattering." Fang Li's expression was a little serious.

It's just that his appearance may be able to fool others, but he can't fool Dong.

She is still smiling, and she always looks fair to her family: "Of course I know. My mate is the most decent. What can I say is very straightforward. This mouth will never say flattery. Words, right?"

Fang Li nodded, feeling very pleased that his wife was considerate of herself.

Dong shook the tiger in his arms again, still smiling at him: "Then tell me, do you like me?"

In a word, Fang Li's face flushed.

Although when he first married Dong, it was because of the words of the matchmaker at the order of his parents. It was the first time they met when they were in the bridal chamber. It was just the first time they met, when Dong gave him a brilliant smile. Fang Li, the honest child of Jinjin, was eaten to death by her.

Fang Li is honest and upright, but the Dong family is a lively and cheerful temperament, but the Dong family knows how to subdue, know how to coax people, and coax her husband for a while.

This is the case right now, Fang Li is always unable to speak sweet words, and Dong does not urge him, but only praises him for being straightforward and not turning around. Now when you ask about the itching, you'd better be honest.

As for Fang Li's mind, Dong certainly knew, but she wanted to hear him.

Sure enough, even though his face was red, Fang Li replied honestly: "Of course I am happy lady, happy and anxious."

Dong likes this answer, and regardless of whether or not he made this sweet statement, he leaned in and put himself in Fang Li's arms.

Her husband’s face is thin, and she won’t really be as sticky as a wife and wife, but now Fang Lineng is holding herself blushing and not backing away. He has already made a lot of progress. Dong thought, slowly. She has some time.

But now I have almost the same body, and my son Huzi is standing still. When Jiao Niang comes back from the mountain yard, she should also take Huzi to visit.

But Ye Jiao, who was chanted by Dong clan, was sitting in the carriage with Xu Bao in his arms, but it was not Qi Yun who was in the car with her, but Liu clan.

Since Xu Bao was born, he has been raised in the yard of Qi Yun and Ye Jiao. Mother Liu also came to help in the yard when she came to help. She never took the child to the Liu family.

Of course the Liu family wanted to see his grandson, but she always remembered that her Erlang was in a bad shape since he was a child. Whether it was brought out from the womb or not taken care of after birth, Liu was always uncertain.

Even if it is intellectually known that Qi Erlang's body is not taken care of properly, there is always a knot in Liu's heart.

Now that Xu Bao was born, Liu's family was extremely nervous. Not only did Ye Jiao spend ten more days of confinement, he also let Xu Bao take care of it, and even sent Mrs. Liu to take good care of him so that there would be no deviation.

But she rarely sees Xu Bao. Ye Jiao thought before that Xu Bao is healthy and healthy, and now it’s not cold in winter, and it doesn’t matter if you hug it. But Liu Shi didn’t let her hug her and let her stay in the house. Just keep it.

Now that they are out of the Qi family, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao think that Liu's family should miss their grandson together, so they let Ye Jiao and Liu's sit in a carriage, Xu Bao followed them, and Qi Yun was sitting in another carriage. .

It can be regarded as fulfilling filial piety.

Sure enough, after seeing Xu Bao from the car, Liu's smile on his face didn't come down.

Xu Bao didn’t recognize his birth, he chuckled after a little teasing, his eyes turned back and forth, and he would use his soft little hands to grasp Liu’s fingers. The fleshy little hands were not strong, but they were holding them empty. Liu's eyes narrowed with a smile.

She hugged Xu Bao, looked left and right, and then nodded: "He looks really good. I looked at him very much like Erlang when he was a child. Now he has grown up, and he was carved out of the same mold when he was a child. Just these eyes, like Jiao Niang, are as clean and bright as two waters."

Mother Liu has always followed the Liu family, and she naturally remembered Qi Yun's appearance when she was a child, and then nodded: "Yes, it looks very similar, but she loves to laugh more than the second master when she was a child."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu closed her mouth abruptly, knowing she was talking about Liu's sadness.

I was upset in my heart, probably because the second young master was so good recently, the body is better, the family is well, so she forgets that her second young master was still a person who turned around before the gate.

After hearing this, the Liu family sighed: "Erlang suffered a crime when he was a child, and he was not so fat," but she quickly laughed again, "It's better now, Erlang is better, Xu Bao is good, look at this The face is round, and it is pleasing at first sight."

Seeing that Liu was not angry, Mrs. Liu sighed, but when she heard that Liu asked her to make tea, she naturally didn't dare to say more.

Making tea in a car is uncomfortable. Although it is a road now, the ground is flat, and the carriage is exceptionally stable, you still have to carry it with your hands to prevent splashing. Liu's is a small punishment and great commandment to keep her from chaos in the future. When she spoke, Mrs. Liu knew in her heart, but she also admitted punishment.

Ye Jiao didn't see what Liu was doing, her eyes kept rolling on Xu Bao.

If you talk about maternal love, it hasn't been long since Xiao Ginseng became a person, and it is a bit unrealistic to make her burst into a passionate love.

But Xu Bao is a lovely child. Ye Jiao spent a month with him again, and spent more than a month in the house together. Just for this "share the joys and sorrows", she has a special affection for Xu Bao.

And she also heard from Mrs. Liu that ordinary people’s children are either crying or making noises, and they don’t allow people to sleep well at night, but Xu Bao has always followed her in the same pace, that he should sleep and eat, Xu Shiye Jiao feeds him well, and the little guy grows up faster, but never makes trouble or makes people feel bad. Naturally it hurts a little bit.

Probably Xu Bao himself didn't know that a large part of his mother's love for him actually came from this way.

At this time, the child was greedy, and had to be fed several times a day. He was fed just now. Now Xu Bao is full and he is happy, and his eyes turn around.

Xu Bao has always eaten Ye Jiao's milk. He raises it white and clean, and his body is fleshy. The sturdy child is comfortable, he loves to laugh, and is pleasing to watch.

Ye Jiao reached out and poked the little guy in the cheek, and then Xu Bao turned his head and grabbed the tip of his finger and sucked it, making the little ginseng laugh.

At this moment, someone knocked on the car.

Ye Jiao lifted the curtain and saw that there was iron outside.

Tie Zi should have followed Qi Yun in another car today.

Without waiting for Tiezi to speak, Ye Jiao's expression changed: "Is there something wrong with Xiang Gong?" As he said, he withdrew his hand from Xu Bao, grabbed the frame, and looked down.

Seeing her in a hurry, Tiezi said hurriedly: "No, no, the second young lady is relieved, the second young master is fine." Then, Tiezi raised the basket in her hand and handed it in, "The second young master asked me to give the second young grandma something. of."

Ye Jiao felt relieved when he heard that Qi Yun was fine.

In fact, she is not so nervous normally, but today she and Qi Yun are in two cars, which makes her more worried.

With a faint smile on Ye Jiao's face, she reached out and took the basket in, opened the cloth covered on it, and saw a plate of red date cake inside.

Tiezi smiled and said: "This is what the Second Young Master had bought back in the morning. He said that the Second Younger liked to eat it before, and he was afraid that the Second Younger was hungry, so he prepared it for the Second Younger. I just forgot to let the second youngest take it. I got up and sent it."

When Liu heard the words, he couldn't help but smile: "Erlang is very thoughtful. If you smell this red date cake, you will know that it is Fengshengzhai. The ordinary red date cake is only available in the earliest first batch. He will remember it for you. It is really intentional. Up."

Ye Jiao squeezed a piece and gave it to the Liu family first, then picked it up and put it in his mouth.

After a sip, the red date cake melted between her lips and teeth, and the sweet fragrance filled her, making her smile and narrow her eyes.

When Tiezi returned with the basket, it was empty.

Qi Yun, who was sitting in the car, saw it, and asked, "Does Jiao Niang like it?"

"The second youngest grandma said she likes it."

All?

Qi Yun is not stingy, this dim sum was originally given to Ye Jiao and his mother to eat. It is better to eat separately, but what he wants to hear is not all that he likes.

He knew that he was making trouble out of nowhere, but for Qi Yun, he had become accustomed to Ye Jiao being with him. Normally, as long as he went out, they were all together.

Now Qi Yun has been alone in the car for nearly an hour. It is extremely difficult and a little lonely. He just wants to listen to Ye Jiao's thoughtful words and come back to listen to him. He has no other thoughts.

If I haven't heard it now, Qi Yun will inevitably feel a little lost.

But at this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Qi Yun was about to ask what was going on, when he saw the curtain being opened, a figure wearing an apricot-red round-neck and diagonal-breasted coat got in, and then quickly covered the curtain.

Qi Yun was stunned, and when she smiled at her, she muttered: "Jiao Niang, you... why are you here?"

The carriage rider was a little smaller than the one that Ye Jiao had just sat in. It was difficult to even get up, but Ye Jiao was agile, so he moved to Qi Yun’s side and took the initiative to pull his hand around him. , Only smiled when the carriage re-traveled: "The red date cake is delicious, I'll come over and thank you Xiang Gong."
