Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

After Shi Tianrui left, Zheng called his wife in and asked, "Who is here in front?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's Liu Rong and Liu."

She has an impression of this name.

The Zheng family is a family girl. Even if she left Beijing with Shi Tianrui, she seemed to have no contact with her natal family. But now Shi Tianrui's position is stable, and the relationship between the Zheng family and the Zheng family has eased. In this capital, there is always something to enjoy flowers and tea. Everyone would call her, and Zheng was also very clear about those who got blue eyes in front of the emperor.

Although Liu Rong is not as favored as Ye Pingrong, he is also a person who has followed Chu Chengyun for a long time. Even if his official position is not high, he is more emperor blue than others.

Moreover, the promotion of generals is not easy. Ye Pingrong is because of the dragon's merits and the support of the princess Huaning and the Guo family behind him. It is difficult to compare with him when he is replaced.

But as long as the war is tight, the rank of the military commander will increase, and Liu Rong is considered to have great potential.

Now that he came to the door, Zheng felt that there must be something important, and said to the mother-in-law: "You go and prepare some refreshments to send, I'm afraid they will talk about it for a while."

But before the mother-in-law left, Shi Tianrui opened the door and walked in.

Zheng was stunned for a while, then stood up to greet him, smiled and asked, "Msang-gong finished talking with him? How quickly."

Shi Tianrui glanced at her mother-in-law, who immediately lowered her head and walked out quickly.

When the door was closed, Shi Tianrui put down what he was holding, and then said: "It's just a matter of a few words, so naturally it won't be delayed."

Zheng did not look at the flowerpot, but first pulled Shi Tianrui over to wash his hands, then took a cloth towel to clean him, and asked, "See Liu Rong?"

"Well, he is a very energetic young man. He looks quite heroic. Although he is a military commander, he speaks and does things decently." Shi Tianrui nodded as he spoke, making no secret of his approval.

The Zheng seldom heard Shi Tianrui's boasting, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "What is he here for?"

"Send potted plants, that's it."

This surprised Zheng a little bit.

No matter who gave this thing, it’s just a trivial matter. Liu Rong is now a decent Grade 6 official. It’s a bit strange to come and deliver the potted plants in person, and it’s someone with extraordinarily well-behaved behavior that he can praise him. Very good, it is this person who deliberately be cautious in front of Shi Tianrui.

It's like... intentional to please.

Zheng was thinking about it, so he heard Shi Tianrui say: "Although Liu Rong said it was sent for General Ye, but I thought, except for that, no one would have this leisure and elegance to send a bamboo to I."

Zheng turned his head and looked at the potted plant.

This is a wealthy bamboo, bundled together, looking at the verdant green is very beautiful, but with a red silk hanging on it, it looks a little out of convention.

However, since it was sent from the palace, it will not be a simple object, there will always be some truth.

This bamboo is tall and tall, and has a bright red color...

Zheng stared at him, and suddenly he looked up at Shi Tianrui.

Then I saw that Shi Tianrui's eyes were plain as water.

The couple glanced at each other, everything was silent, no one mentioned it again, just raised the wealthy bamboo well and carefully.

A few days later, a number of ministers jointly recommended Shi Tianrui as a Privy Councilor. Chu Chengyun signed the matter and settled the matter.

As soon as the news came out, both the ruling and the opposition understood that Shi Tianrui's future was destined to be bright.

Upgrading to three levels in a row is not something ordinary people can do.

The people who had fallen into the stone family in the past could not wait to disappear before others, shivering, for fear that it would provoke people's eyes and invite revenge. Even if Shi Tianrui did not hold any grudges, others would take them to please him.

And those who wanted to please Shi Tianrui had to step on the door of the Shi family, but both Shi Tianrui and Shi Clan chose not to stay behind closed doors, even more cautious than before.

Because everyone paid attention to Shi Tianrui, not many people noticed that several high-gate houses were completely empty overnight.

Qi Yun didn't know it originally, until Guan Shi took the ledger of the wine shop to the house to look for him.

Because of the rain outside today, Guanshi Qin put on a special coat and wrapped the account book several layers with greased paper, for fear of getting wet.

When he entered the door, Tiezi ran to help hang up the clothes, and then he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qi Yun.

Tiezi knew that his young master allowed him to listen, so he stood aside obediently.

On the other hand, Qi Yun opened the oil paper bag and took out the account book, as well as a list on it.

After a few glances, the man raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Guan Shi didn't speak, and stood still.

"They want to order four hundred altars of gold bottles?" Qi Yun glanced at Guan Shi Qin, "If it's just this kind of thing, you wouldn't make a special trip."

Although the four hundred altars of Jinzun wine may sound like a lot, but now the Qijia Wine Shop is one of the best in Beijing, and the four hundred altars are not too high. Moreover, the number is not too high. It's all the liquor store business in the capital, which obviously won't let him come.

Sure enough, Guanshi Qin bowed his body and said smoothly: "My boss, they want us to send to Dianzhou. The journey is far away, and...they will only give money when they arrive."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun raised his eyebrows.

From the capital to Dianzhou, it is bound to go by the waterway. If the Qi family escorted them, they would naturally use the boats on the waterway.

This cannot but make people think about it.

Before Qi Yun got stuck with Wen’s goods, he cut off the Wen’s supply of goods from the waterway, which directly destroyed Wen Minsong. It’s no secret that this matter is not a secret. The power of water transport is naturally more and more important.

Now letting them deliver the wine in person, what Qi Yun can think of is that someone wants to use their boat.

Qi Yun put the ledger aside and asked, "Who are they?"

Guan Shi Qin replied: "The people of the original Zhuang Palace and the Su Palace."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun frowned and quickly understood the twists and turns.

The queen was poisoned before, and Ye Jiao entered the palace. When she came back, she told Qi Yun all the things, including what Queen Meng said to Princess Huaning, which sounded endless, but Qi Yun understood that they were. In order to conceal Ye Jiao, he said it vaguely.

Now that the people of King Zhuang's Mansion and King Su's Mansion are going out of Beijing, and the two are strung together, Qi Yun can naturally guess some ways.

Saying that they were leaving Beijing, it seems that the empress compromised to cover up what they did when they were fighting for the throne, and sent them to the Dianzhou fief, wanting to settle things down, but what Empress Meng said at that time did not seem to be gentle. Over.

Before, when Empress Meng was still the princess, Qi Yun knew her methods.

Most of these people have gone and never returned.

Therefore, Qi Yun said directly: "Rejected, it means that we don't have so many stocks, and the ships have been requisitioned. No matter what reason you use, you reject it."

This surprised Guan Shi Qin.

Even though Guan Shi Qin has been in the capital for so many years and has seen countless high-ranking officials, he has never seen any one that would not give the prince's face so much.

Guan Shi Qin has always followed Qi Yun's words, but this time he hesitated and asked in a low voice: "My boss, is this... appropriate?"

After all, that is the relatives of the emperor, and if you offend them, if you offend them, you will have to trouble.

Qi Yun was extremely resolute: "The most suitable." The voice paused slightly, "If we really do it, let alone what the future will be, at least we won't get a penny for the four hundred jars of wine." Those people, can It's not necessarily if you can't live to Dianzhou.

If you change individuals, you must ask why.

But Manager Qin immediately corrected his expression when he heard that he could not get the money, without asking a word, he took the account book and left.

Qi Yun looked at Guan Shi Qin from the back, thinking that this person has the advantage of being stingy, and only recognizing money is sometimes an advantage.

Seeing that the rain outside hasn't stopped, Qi Yun asked Tiezi, "Madam, can you go out?"

If Ye Jiao goes out, Qi Yun will definitely pick her up.

Tie Zi immediately replied: "The second youngest grandma was going to the Long Princess's Mansion, but she didn't go there because of the rain. She just ordered a snack."

Qi Yun nodded, let Tiezi hold the umbrella, and the two left the study one after another.

Before entering the garden, Qi Yun looked down at himself.

Ye Jiao has always been very nervous about her husband. Perhaps the little ginseng doesn't care much about the things beside her, but as long as it has something to do with Qi Yun, Ye Jiao has to worry about everything.

The last time Qi Yun accidentally wetted his clothes on the road, Ye Jiao saw her when she returned, and she was distressed for a while. It was Jiang Tang who was carrying the bath tub again, for fear that Qi Yun would catch a cold.

Qi Yun could bear the pain, but couldn't bear to worry about his wife.

Therefore, Qi Yun was very careful when he went out, especially when he entered the door, he must check himself carefully for fear of any omissions.

In the past, I did this to protect my body, but now I do it to make the lady go.

Upon seeing this, Tiezi said, "Second Young Master, don't worry, you are very clean."

Qi Yun nodded and walked inside.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I smelled the familiar pungent taste. I looked at the table, and I saw a bowl of **** soup on it.

Seeing him coming back, Ye Jiao put down what was in her hand, picked up Jiang Tang and walked over with a smile, and said, "Msang Gong, you are back."

Qi Yun responded, then took the soup bowl neatly, tried the temperature, and drank it all in one go.

Since the lady prepared it, then drink it.

When Qi Yun put the soup bowl aside, what he greeted was a soft kiss from his wife on her tiptoes.

The soft lips were printed on the top of the Adam's apple, even if it was just a touch, Qi Yun felt that the bowl of **** soup was worth drinking.

Xiaosu on the side was calm. Before that, Xiaosu was very curious. After all, the husband and wife had been intimate for one or two years, like the second young master and the second young grandmother of the family, who can live so tired every day. It is indeed less.

However, it is not surprising to see more, Xiaosu used to blush, but now he can be treated calmly.

Picking up the **** soup bowl on the table, Xiaosu withdrew from the door and closed the door intimately.

Tiezi leaned over to talk to Xiaosu, but listened to Xiaosu's words: "I left you a bowl of **** soup in the small kitchen, and I'm going to drink it."

In fact, Tiezi doesn't like to drink this, but since Xiaosu said it, he laughed and responded vigorously, and then followed Xiaosu to the small kitchen.

Qi Yun held Ye Jiao's hand and walked into the inner room together, and then saw the petals of various colors spread out on the table.

He couldn't help looking at Ye Jiao. Before he could ask, the little ginseng spoke first: "It has been raining lately, and when these medicinal flowers are about to die, I will ask someone to pick the flowers off first to save the rain. If the medicine is broken, I turn my head back into a flower bag and put it in a purse, which is good for my body."

Now that he knows that his Jiao Niang's medical skills are extraordinary, Qi Yun doesn't feel surprised. After sitting down with Ye Jiao, his eyebrows are soft and he said, "What can I do to help?"

Ye Jiao didn't be polite to him, and pointed him a few piles, and said, "You should separate these according to the color. Be careful. The ones here are for the children."

When Qi Yun heard this, he immediately became concerned, and his movements were extremely gentle when he pinched the petals.

Ye Jiao stuffed the brocade bag while saying: "Hua Ning doesn't go out often these days, saying it's a fear of the heat. I may not see Hui Niang for a long time."

Thinking of the matter just now, Qi Yun whispered softly: "It's good not to go. I want to come to the queen and the empress has her own business."

Ye Jiao nodded, agreed, and talked about another matter: "Sanlang will also purchase people, and winter will be a few months later. When we go home, there will be only one Saburo left in the capital. I always feel uneasy."

Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment: "It's still early, don't worry."

Ye Jiao changed a brocade bag. Hearing this, he glanced at Qi Yun and said with a smile: "You have to prepare earlier. Buying, assigning, and furnishing it all takes time. It is better to arrange for Saburo properly."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun felt that his wife had learned a lot.

When I first married the Jiao Niang, she was still a little girl who didn't even understand the rules of eating. Later, Jiao Niang learned to read, read books, read the books page by page, and the housekeeper’s skills were the same. Speaking of these things, it is already a good idea, I want to learn something.

My wife has been working hard towards a better front.

Inexplicably, Qi Yun suddenly felt relieved that "the lady has grown up", and his voice was full of emotion: "I have listened to the arrangements of my daughter, and my daughter has been considerate."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at him when he heard the words. His eyes were bright, and his appearance was exactly the same as Xu Bao's expression after being praised, and his voice was generally the same and slightly raised: "Why do you praise me?"

Qi Yun smiled and nodded: "Well, Jiao Niang has grown up."

Ye Jiao blinked and asked, "What has grown up?" Before Qi Yun could speak, she lowered her head and gestured.

However, because of the difference in physique from ordinary people, even if the small ginseng is eaten a lot, it will not be fat. The waist is still slender and the wrists are like snow, with no change at all.

In the end, Ye Jiao only found a place, and stretched out his hand to tugged at the clothes, nodded in agreement: "It's a bit bigger, I have to cut my clothes later, and make a new tube top. Come back and accompany me. Go ahead."

Qi Yun followed his gaze and saw the beautifully curved neck of his wife, and then the slight bulge hidden in the skirt of the collar.

Because of the rain today, the light gauze that I usually wore was covered with a piece of clothing, hiding his graceful figure.

But the relative day and night made Qi Yun very clear about how wonderful his lady is.

However, Ye Jiao's eyes were very clear and clean. Even if she stretched out her hand and gestured, she didn't mean anything else, and always made Qi Yun feel that her dirty thoughts were ashamed to speak to others.

This time Qi Yun just responded with his lips, and didn't say much.

It wasn't until the night came and the candles were put out that he and Ye Jiao studied the things of growing up, and they studied very deeply, but it was Qi Erlang who got up late the next day. Fortunately, the two of them were used to it. enjoying the moment.

Summer has passed and autumn has come, and the weather is no longer hot in September, and the autumn wind is rustling, and the cold room is temporarily closed.

Soon, it will be Ye Jiao's birthday.

Originally, Ye Jiao's birth date was so long that the little ginseng couldn't remember it. Qi Yun asked her before, and she said about her adult life.

On the eighth day of September, that was the first time she looked at the world with a human body, and on this day, she married Qi Yun.

Maybe Ye Jiao forgot after she said it, but Qi Yun remembered it clearly.

I have not celebrated several birthdays before, so this year I must make up for it.

It's just that this day doesn't match the birth date sent by the Ye family. In order to avoid extra branches, Qi Yun is ready to close the door and live.

Apart from himself, he knew only a few children.

Long and Fengtai still didn't quite understand what the birthday meant, but Xu Bao kept it in his heart, counting the days day by day, and secretly calculating with Shishi what to give Ye Jiao for a long time.

And none of these Ye Jiao knew.

Because Shi’s orchard has a very good harvest this year, Ye Jiao likes to go around when nothing happens. Shi also likes to gather some banquets after avoiding the limelight of Shi Tianrui’s promotion, and invite female relatives from Beijing to eat some fruits. Getting acquainted with it can be considered boring.

Women also have their own circles. These meetings seem common, but in fact, everyone can figure out some different tastes from them.

Ye Jiao wanted to take Xu Bao with him this day, but Xu Bao said that he still had some homework to do, so he stayed in Qi Mansion.

Liu Si, who had been studying with Xu Bao, was a little puzzled: "Xu, Master Xu, have you always, always, wanted to go?"

Xu Bao looked at Ye Jiao's carriage going away, and when he heard the words, he nodded with a soft voice: "I want to go, the fruit there is delicious." Then Xu Bao turned to look at Liu Si Said, "It's just that there is something today, so I can't let my mother know."

When Liu Si heard this, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

In his opinion, things that can't be known to the host family are definitely not good things. He certainly can't stop Xu Bao, so he might as well pretend not to know and say nothing about himself.

But Xu Bao hugged Liusi's calf and stared at him with bright eyes: "Liusi, you help me."

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Liusi squatted down confessing his fate, and asked, "Master Xu tells you, that's it."

Xu Bao smiled immediately, with a happy look on that fleshy little face, and said, "Go and catch Xiao Hei."

After six thoughts, this is...catch a chicken?

Xu Bao tilted his head and said crisply: "I want its fur and make a kite for my mother!"

Ye Jiao, who had already arrived in the Shi's Orchard, didn't know that her children were thinking about celebrating her birthday. When she walked in, there were already quite a few female families in it.

There are many wealthy and wealthy people in the capital, and there are also many officials and eunuchs. It can be said that by splashing a basin of water on the street, a few officials will get wet.

Probably because of the large number of officials, they are lower-key than the expatriate officials.

Most of the officials who are released are very prestigious, especially those in the capital who rely on them. They are even more pretentious and domineering.

But once you become a Beijing official, most of you will hide the fox's tail. No matter what you do behind the scenes, at least the people will look decent.

Because no one knows what kind of wealthy people they will meet, even if it is a street vendor, it is possible that it is covered by someone's house, and offending it will cause trouble.

Although Shi has only an orchard, she is still in harmony with her and has no family to rely on, but she has a brother Shi Tianrui, and a close friend of Princess Huaning, so her identity is naturally extraordinary.

At this moment, there are also many ladies of noble families. Those who can sit in the front with Shi, either the daughter of the duke or the wife of the marquis, are considered honorable.

When Ye Jiao entered the door, she looked around, trying to find where Shi Shi was, and then heard someone above calling her: "Jiao Niang, come and sit here!"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Hua Ning sitting in front beckoning to her.

Ye Jiao smiled and walked over.

And this walk attracted many people's attention.

Everyone knows that the old trend is sinking in the capital, and the new trend is rising. Now giving Shi's face is giving Shi Tianrui's face. This time seems to be a trivial matter, but it is the rearrangement of the forces, which is very regular.

And Ye Jiao and the others knew each other more or less. Mrs. Qi family, there was an uncle Tanhua Lang, and a sister-in-law of the eldest princess. Even if Ye Jiao herself was the wife of an ordinary merchant, she still had a valuable status.

But who does not have a family to rely on? Even the wife of a fourth-rank official has to go back, why can Ye clan go up?

Some women sitting behind held a veil to cover their mouths, and stopped talking. They looked forward, wanting to see how those ladies would embarrass Ye Jiao.

But what was surprising was that Ye Jiao sat down beside Hua Ning calmly, and everyone greeted her kindly, and there was no one who could find faults.

If Hua Ning and her are sister-in-laws and sister-in-laws can still understand, but the other noble women who usually want to eat firecrackers, now actually one or two are kind and like the Bodhisattva empress, when they talk to Ye Jiao, they are gentle and soft , Which makes people a little shocked.

But I don't know that these ladies also have their own cares.

It is precisely because they are big family members that they can know Ye Jiao's face in the palace. This is a person who can talk and laugh with the empress!

Even though Empress Meng had never rewarded her face to face, the private relationship between Ye Jiao and Empress Meng was enough for them to make good friends deliberately.

Because everyone knows Empress Meng’s methods, she was a woman who had all the calculations in her blood, but she could let the small news about Ye Jiao’s stay in the palace reach their ears. It was a hint in itself, telling them Ye Jiao’s identity. Unusual, let everyone have their own thoughts.

That being the case, who would dare not give it to the queen?

What's more, Ye Jiao's Lang Jun Qi Erlang is a character like the God of Wealth, who doesn't have a few shops, and they can have a good relationship with Ye Jiao, and they have their benefits.

As a result, he was very kind in face, and he was like a spring breeze when speaking.

A woman from a large family wants to befriend someone, it is very meticulous, every word has its own consideration, naturally smooth.

But Ye Jiao didn't feel the repulsion from the noble ladies in Beijing, and was accepted by them first.

Hua Ning was also happy to see the result. He smiled and sat aside, drinking from time to time, but rarely spoke.

When the fruit came up, Ye Jiao squeezed a longan in his hand, squeezed the skin with a little force with fingertips, and asked, "Hua Ning, where's Yingxiu?"

Hua Ning smiled and said, "It's probably something. There are many guests today, and she must be more considerate as the host."

Ye Jiao nodded, did not ask much, and put the peeled longan in her mouth instead.

Feeling that this longan was sweet, she took one and peeled it off and said to Hua Ning with a smile: "It's very sweet, I'll peel one for you."

If it is usual, Hua Ning will definitely be happy.

But this time she reached out and gently held Ye Jiao's hand, and whispered: "Thank you Jiao Niang, but I'm afraid I won't have this good fortune."

Ye Jiao was a little puzzled. She slapped the longan, wiped her hands with the kerchief, and asked, "What's wrong, but what's wrong with your body?"

Then, Hua Ning took her palm and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, lowered her head slightly, smiled at Ye Jiao and said with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I have it."

The author has something to say: Xu Bao: Make a gift!

Xiao Hei: ...Why it's me again

Xu Bao: Let you grab my milk cake! Good memory.jpg
