Qi Yun and Ye Jiao were stunned, and then they realized that this was the first time their son had spoken.
The fat son who only hums and giggles, can talk!
Normally Ye Jiao would teach him how to call her mother, and Mrs. Liu would coax him to call someone, but this child didn't like to cry or make trouble, and his mouth was very strict, and he never opened his mouth.
As a result, the sudden arrival of such a voice shocked the two people who were parents for the first time.
But before they were happy, Xu Bao laughed and said, "Kiss!"
Qi Yun: …
Ye Jiao: …
This voice, clear and loud, made the two couples look at each other subconsciously.
It is said that the child will say whatever he hears, call his mother, that is what Ye Jiao and Liu Shi had coaxed against him before, but now they say kiss, I am afraid that Ye Jiao always kisses him and Qi Yun, every time. Said, the little things listened and learned.
It stands to reason that children should be encouraged when they speak, but as soon as the word came out, Ye Jiao didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, Ye Jiao gently pinched the soft flesh on Qi Yun's waist and complained softly, "It's all your fault."
Without even thinking about it, Qi Yun responded, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
However, after Xu Bao made such a fuss, the ambiguity just now disappeared, and the two hurriedly got up, and the next day was spent teaching Xu Bao to speak.
Children who have just learned to talk are very playful. They are always willing to show off if they have mastered a new skill. Before Xu Bao could walk, he would never crawl again. Always insist on going.
Now that he can speak, Qi Yun and Ye Jiao always praise him when he says a word, the little guy is extraordinarily enthusiastic.
After a few days, I can remember the names of my family members, but sometimes the names are not accurate.
"Great!" Xu Bao eagerly looked at the spoon in Qi Yun's hand, sat on the small stool, and stared at him.
Qi Yun shook his head: "Think again."
Xu Bao pursed his mouth, but he wanted to eat egg custard, so he shouted again, "Brother!"
"… think again."
Ye Jiao sat on the side and gently picked the rouge with her little finger. Hearing the words, she turned her head to face Xu Bao and said, "Call Daddy."
Xu Bao immediately straightened his back on the small stool: "Daddy!"
Qi Yun then fed him the egg custard, but looked at Ye Jiao helplessly: "Jiao Niang, if you always tell him like this, it will be difficult for him to remember."
Ye Jiao put on her rouge in front of the mirror, and after hearing the words, she said, "I heard from my mother before that it's good for such an older child to be able to speak, and she has to teach it slowly, if you are in a hurry, you don't want to be in a hurry. Anxious."
Before Qi Yun could speak, he saw Xu Bao stand up as if angry.
This child has a good temperament, and is usually the most well-behaved. Moreover, Qi Yun has also taken care of Qi Ming before. He thinks that children are stupid before the age of two.
But this time Xubao walked towards Ye Jiao with his short legs, hugged Ye Jiao's calf, and fluently shouted out his most skilled words: "Mother, kiss."
Ye Jiao hurriedly put away the rouge box, picked him up, sat down at the table, let Xiao Xubao sit on her lap, reached out and took the spoon from Qi Yun's hand, and scooped out the egg custard to feed it to Xubao.
The little doll ate sweetly, the frown that had just been wrinkled loosened, and there was a happy smile on his face.
This made Qi Yun a little puzzled: "Is he just angry with this stutter?"
Although Ye Jiao doesn't know how to read minds and has never raised other children, but her mind is pure, but she can understand Xu Bao's thoughts.
While feeding him, the little ginseng said to Qi Yun, "He's angry that you always hang on and don't feed him. If you feed him well next time, maybe he will call you?"
Qi Yun didn't believe it: "My son, he wouldn't be so angry just to eat in one bite."
But after he fed Xu Bao a small bowl of fish porridge the next day, the little thing shouted "Daddy, Daddy" neatly, making Qi Yun lose his temper.
However, although he can speak, Xu Bao doesn't speak often, except when necessary, he can jump a few words, other times he is still cheerful, and he looks like a festive temperament.
A few days later, Qi Saburo returned from the exam and was waiting for the results to be released at home. Ye Jiao also started to prepare for Xu Bao's birthday banquet.
Just then, news came.
When the emperor died, he left behind an edict. Originally, the state mourned for three years. During this period, no marriage was allowed, and no red tape was allowed. The whole country mourned and all entertainment was prohibited. However, the posthumous photo stated that the administration was benevolent, and the period of mourning was shortened to three days.
As soon as this matter comes out, there will be turmoil in the capital, and many powerful families will have to find another way out. After all, the emperor and the courtiers, how to receive the benefits from the new emperor will take some brains for those aristocratic families. , I'm afraid my feet can't touch the ground recently.
And the officials in the court should be cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of being slaughtered by the new emperor.
But for ordinary people, they can only praise the emperor's benevolence, and cry twice together to respond to the scene, but the others have no great influence.
After the three-day national mourning, the days will remain the same, so don't be too blatant and ostentatious.
After a while, when Xu Bao turned one year old, the national mourning had already passed, but to be cautious, the Qi family reduced the number of seats they had prepared before, and did not make a splash outside.
Ye Jiao also wrote the list early, but crossed out all the nodding friends, and in the end, only less than ten people were left behind.
Now that Qi Yun's shop is becoming more and more prosperous, and Ye Jiao has become more and more respectable, although for the little ginseng, most of the people I know are for playing pot throwing or chatting together, but there is a happy event at someone's house. She always invites herself, so now that she has a happy event at home, she will naturally invite them too.
It's just that the little ginseng did not write the invitation, but went to Qi Ming.
Qi Ming, who is a year older, is also a lot taller. Before, he was about the same as Ye Jiao, but now he is half a head taller than Ye Jiao, but his face still has a little boyishness: "Of course I am willing to write invitations for my sister-in-law, But why didn't my sister-in-law ask my second brother to write it?"
Ye Jiao never turned a corner, and said directly, "The price is too high."
Let Qi Ming write, just bring a box of apricot cheese, but if you let Qi Yun write, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.
Even though Qi Saburo didn't know what this sentence meant, his past experience told him that it was best not to inquire about anything about the second brother and the second sister-in-law.
Otherwise, the consequence is to write big characters in addition to capital letters.
After grinding the ink and taking out the pen and paper, Qi Ming took the list that Ye Jiao had written, and tried to distinguish the circular characters on it, while writing: "By the way, second sister-in-law, have you heard, new After the emperor ascends the throne, he will add Enke as usual, if I can pass the exam this time as a scholar, I can take the exam next year."
Although Ye Jiao didn't know what Enke meant, she knew it was a good thing by listening to Qi Ming's tone.
She smiled and said, "Of course the new emperor has a good temper."
Qi Ming smiled, just as Ye Jiao said casually, after all, the emperor is far away from here, who knows who is sitting on the Golden Palace
But Ye Jiao knew clearly.
Yesterday, Ye Pingrong sent a special message, saying that King Duan is all going well and is preparing to be enthroned, and he will send it to the states and counties to announce to the world in a few days.
It doesn't matter who is the emperor to Little Ginseng, but Ye Pingrong said that as long as King Rui ascends the throne, his marriage with Princess Hua Ning will be settled. This is a happy event.
However, the list is long, and Qi Ming is very careful. Every word must be correct, so as not to lose the face of his sister-in-law, he can also sell Qi Yun well, and let his second brother not punish him for endorsing, he must be extraordinarily Be careful, even if it's just ten invitations, it will take a while to write.
Ye Jiao put down Xing Che and took Xiao Su out the door to the clothes shop in the town.
The Qi family's clothes are custom-made from the same shop. The last time she bought fur clothes, she came here by accident and didn't reveal her identity. Later, when she found out that she was the second young grandmother of the Qi family, the shopkeeper of this shop Very attentive every time.
Ye Jiao came to the door today, and the shopkeeper immediately came out to receive the reception in person, with a very bright smile on her face: "Second Young Mistress, take a look at whatever you want. The good ingredients that came only yesterday are all very well matched. Do you want to take a look?" Then I took one, and they boasted about the hand feel and the weaving and dyeing. After all, it was good everywhere.
Ye Jiao took a look. Now she has made clothes many times, and Liu Shi has been teaching them all the time. Now she can also see the quality of these materials.
Although it is not as high as the shopkeeper's blowing, it is still very bright.
Seeing that Ye Jiao was satisfied, Xiao Su on the side said, "My young mistress will go there and wait. You can just pick out good materials and bring them here. If you like it, you will definitely buy it. You just go and pick it up."
Now that Xiao Su has been with Ye Jiao for a long time, the little girl also knows the rules of advance and retreat, and speaks carefully.
The shopkeeper responded immediately and happily went to get the ingredients.
However, he has a mind, not only women's brocades, but also plain colors that men like.
Ye Jiao usually came to look at the fabrics, even if she didn't mention Qi Ershao, but as long as she saw good fabrics, someone would always pull some to make clothes for her husband.
No one in this town now knows that Erlang's wife of the Qi family is always looking after her husband.
The shopkeeper pondered, and sent them to Ye Jiao to choose from both sides, so that he could earn more by buying more.
Ye Jiao waited in the side room. Xiao Su first helped her to sit down, then quickly walked to the side and poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Jiao. Ye Jiao took it with a smile and was about to drink it. I heard two gongs from outside.
This voice made Ye Jiao a little familiar.
In fact, it is usually sent to the home to see, and it is rare to buy it directly.
Usually, when she goes out, she either goes to the pharmacy to find Mrs. Dong, or to the flower party and tea party of other people's groups. Even if she goes shopping and sees the shops, she usually finds something delicious and fun. She rarely thinks of tailoring clothes. There must be a tailor in the house. When the lady goes, she does not worry about clothes.
After all, this is only the second time Ye Jiao has come by herself.
The last time, it seemed that someone had heard someone beating a gong like this.
Ye Jiao stood up, walked to the window, stretched out her hand and pushed open the window, and then she heard two gongs outside, followed by a loud shout: "Sacred Shang Rende, pardon the world, increase Enke, reduce Fu by two to make!"
... This word seems to have been heard before.
But last time it was because of the border victory and amnesty, and now the new emperor ascends the throne, which is a happy event.
In fact, it is no secret that the new emperor is going to be enthroned. Since the old emperor has died, the new emperor's ascension is inevitable.
But ordinary people are concerned about the latter benefits.
Ye Jiao heard that there was Jia Kai Enke, so she thought about going back and telling Saburo that he could continue the test.
But at this moment, Ye Jiao suddenly heard movement outside.
She looked back, walked to the door of the side room and looked ahead.
Then I saw the shopkeeper trotting out from behind the counter, stood at the door, and listened intently, then, with a plop, he knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and shouted "Heaven's grace is mighty." Extraordinarily sincere.
This startled Xiao Su, and subconsciously took a half step back.
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar.
But before she could think about it, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
Then, I heard Tie Zi's voice from outside the window: "Second Young Mistress, I have found you, Second Young Master please go back."
Ye Jiao went back to the window and asked, "You came to me in such a hurry, what happened? But Xu Bao is making trouble?"
Tie Zi hurriedly replied: "No, the young master is having a good time with his wife, so don't worry about the young mistress. It is the young master Ye who is here, just waiting at home."
