Mrs Fang rarely came to Ye Jiao's yard. This time, Ye Jiao was a little surprised when she came, but she immediately said to Xiao Su, "Please come in and talk."
Then, Ye Jiao looked down at Xu Bao.
Xu Bao raised his face and looked at Ye Jiao, his eyes were clear and bright, with a smile on his face, he looked happy.
Ye Jiao touched the little guy's chubby cheek and said, "Auntie is here, Xu Bao will go play with the pony first, okay?"
Normally, Xu Bao likes to play with ponies, but that was when Qi Yun was there.
Daddy is here and can always read to him while he is riding a pony. Xu Bao is not really keen on riding a pony, he just likes Daddy to tell him stories.
Now that Qi Yun is not here, Xu Bao is not willing to go.
He had just eaten, and it was the time when he was in good spirits. He used Ye Jiao's arms with his hands and feet, but he was young, and he was jumping word by word when he spoke. ."
Ye Jiao just eats this one, and when he says that, Ye Jiao's heart softens.
Thinking about what Xu Bao shouldn't listen to later, just cover his ears.
At this time, Mr. Fang opened the curtain and walked in.
The curtains in Qi Erlang's yard are thicker than the yard next to it. In the past, it was because Qi Yun was in poor health and could not stand the wind. This year, it was because Ye Jiao was pregnant and young, so she was more careful.
As soon as Mr. Fang came in, he felt a hot wind blowing towards his face, and his hands immediately sweated.
She hurriedly took off the fur collar cloak and handed it to the old woman who was following her. She smiled and walked towards Ye Jiao. Seeing that she was about to get up, she hurriedly said: "Sit and sit, my younger brother and sister are precious now, take a good rest, you Your body is the most important thing."
Ye Jiao sat back before she got up, and let Xu Bao lean on her. She put her arms around Xiao Pangdun, and then smiled at Mrs Fang: "Sister-in-law also sits."
At this time, Xiao Su had already moved an armchair, Fang Shi sat down and said to Ye Jiao, "When I came out, Shi Shi took me and asked me to bring some milk cakes, saying it was for Xu Bao. ."
Even though Xu Bao couldn't understand those long sentences, he never missed the key words.
The little guy who was holding Ye Jiao tightly just now straightened up, let go of his hand, and his voice was crisp: "Milk cake cake!"
Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at him: "Want to eat?"
Xu Bao nodded immediately, his body strained, and his little butt moved: "If you want to eat, Xu Bao eats it."
Ye Jiao wanted to coax him away first, so she smiled and said to Xiao Su, "Take him out to eat, feed him some warm water, don't choke."
Xu Bao didn't leave immediately, but looked at Ye Jiao and Fang Shi, and his soft little mouth moved: "Mother eat, Auntie eat."
Fang Shi laughed when he heard the words, reached out and touched Xubao's little fleshy hand: "Xubao still remembers Auntie? Brother and sister, you raised him so well."
She only thought that Xu Bao was giving in, but she didn't know that Xu Bao really wanted everyone to eat together, so that there would be something better next time.
Ye Jiao was also really thinking about Xu Bao's words, and after thinking about it, she said, "Mother is not hungry, you go to eat first, if you can't eat, you can leave the rest for mother."
Fang: …
Xu Bao responded crisply: "Okay." Then he reached out to Xiao Su and asked her to take him away.
After they went out, the old woman closed the door of the inner room, and Mrs. Fang said, "This child really looks like you."
Sweet mouth, good-looking, but also love to eat.
Ye Jiao smiled: "No, he doesn't look like him." She had grass on her head when she was a child, but Xu Bao didn't, he still looked like his father.
Fang Shi just thought she was joking, so she smiled and said nothing, and then took out a booklet from her sleeve.
She handed the booklet to Ye Jiao and said, "Mother knew about what happened in your yard before, and she felt that the yard door was not tight enough, so she thought about picking some good ones, or buying some people from outside to come in, either. Tighten the door, and the province will be exploited by others."
Speaking of this, Mrs Fang felt that her younger siblings were really capable.
She had seen the grass, and although she looked average, she had a good figure and was young, at the same age as a scallion.
When Mr. Fang saw it before, he felt that she was here for his own boss.
Because Fang Cao's older brother was a small steward under Da Lang, Mr. Fang usually paid them monthly money, and he was careful. With a little attention, he could see the reason, so Mr. Fang took the money in his yard The mother-in-law all called together, and as soon as Fangcao appeared, they would be called out.
In the end, before she could make a move, Ye Jiao made a move here, and it was neatly tied up. The whole family hit the door together, and everyone outside knew about it.
However, I couldn't tell what happened. Qi Yun frightened the little servants in the yard. They were all in danger, for fear that they would be involved in talking too much. .
So it was said outside that it was Mrs. Liu who supported Ye Jiao, and as a mother-in-law protecting her daughter-in-law in every possible way, it really hurts to treat her daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law.
It's just that Mr. Fang knew the character of the two couples, and thought that in all likelihood, it was the work of his ruthless second brother.
But Mrs Fang didn't know either, Ye Jiao didn't know anything about this.
After listening to Mr. Fang's words, Little Ginseng sat there and thought for a while, recalling what happened in the yard that would make her mother-in-law feel that she was not staffed enough.
After thinking about it, I only remembered the matter of sending several wives in the garden on the mountain before.
Last time I went up the mountain with Chunlan to choose a place to grow medicinal herbs, but as a result, a few old-fashioned mothers refused to let me go, and my husband sent them away.
Well, yes, that's it.
So Ye Jiao nodded to Mrs Fang and said, "No, there is indeed a shortage of people." The last time she looked at the roster of the garden on the mountain, she felt that there were few staff, and it was normal that the door was not tight.
When Fang Shi heard the words, she felt that Ye Jiao really wanted to keep an eye on Qi Yun, and pointed to the booklet: "Then look at it, find some more capable ones, and don't let those bad-hearted people come in. ." Otherwise, a few more herbs will always be bad.
Ye Jiao followed with a serious nod, but that's not it, when those old women were looking for medicinal herbs to enclose the land, they frightened herself openly and secretly.
But when she was flipping through the booklet, Ye Jiao asked in a low voice, "If someone is chosen, will it be counted in the family or my husband and I?"
Mrs Fang hurriedly said, "Of course it's your own." After speaking, Mrs Fang laughed, "You are on time, there is a Wu family in front of you, and now they say that our family is well-mannered, but they are envious of others. already."
Before the Wu family spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, the Qian family had swallowed their breath two days ago. The Wu family's mother-in-law, Zhang family, only cared about protecting her son, and because Miss Lu Qi was pregnant with her child, Zhang family also protected her and gave money to her. Shi Bai died, and the Qian family sued them to the yamen.
Now this lawsuit, if it wins, it is fine, but it is easy to be reversed if it is not won.
The Qian family and the Wu family and the Lu family have already torn their faces and caused a lot of trouble in the city.
At this time, it was rumored from the Qi family that the mother-in-law Liu, in order to maintain the peace of the family house, coaxed away the little goblin who hooked up with her son. Isn't that enviable.
Even if some men say sarcastic things, and Suan Yejiao is not too much, but with Qi Yun here, no one dares to say it clearly.
As for the women who envy the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, the husband is good, and the mother-in-law is easy to get along with. Compared with those mothers-in-law who have nothing to do with their sons marrying concubines, especially compared with the stupid woman of the Zhang family, it is more and more rare for the Qi family.
Even when Mr. Fang recently went out to watch flowers and tea, he walked with wind and was very proud.
Ye Jiao didn't know anything about these things, she just wanted to pick someone for Yuanzi, and the two of them were talking about two things, and they were able to talk about it together and chat happily.
When Qi Yun came back, Mrs Fang had already left, while Ye Jiao was sitting at the table, holding a brush and sketching on the booklet.
Qi Yun hung the fur coat to the side, and warmed himself up in front of the charcoal basin, and then got close to Ye Jiao, pouring tea for himself, and said, "Just now, my eldest brother received a letter, saying that it's something in Beijing. It has calmed down a lot, he will come to see you in a while, and Tie Zi will come back with him."
Ye Jiao was looking at the booklet, which recorded the identities and past errands of these people in detail. There were a lot of words, and the little ginseng looked a little tired. After hearing Qi Yun's words, she just nodded subconsciously: "Big brother is back, I miss him. Think hard."
Qi Yun paused slightly with the teacup in his hand, looked at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ye Jiao didn't raise her head and replied, "Mother asked me to pick someone and said to keep the door tight."
When Qi Yun heard this, she thought that Ye Jiao already knew what happened before, and her heart tightened.
He never concealed it from Ye Jiao, as long as Jiao Niang asked, he would say it, but after all, it was annoying, saying it would inevitably make Ye Jiao think more, and Qi Yun thought about not disturbing her.
Now that Qi Yun thought Ye Jiao knew about it, she decided to take the initiative to explain it. She sat aside and expressed her attitude first: "Don't worry, Jiao Niang, I will be a couple for the rest of my life."
Ye Jiao didn't know where his words came from, but the little ginseng could also hear the affection in those words.
After putting down the pen, Ye Jiao smiled and leaned over, sat sideways on Qi Yun's lap, hooked his neck and kissed him.
Qi Yun immediately embraced her waist to save her from falling, then lowered his head and let his wife rub against his face.
After a while, he heard Ye Jiao say, "My husband treats me well, I know, if you treat me badly, we won't be able to last for so long."
Qi Yun was moved by these words and felt that his love was rewarded, but the little ginseng was just stating the facts.
If Qi Yun treats her badly, without her, I'm afraid that her husband will not be able to live now.
She was his elixir, always had been.
But after Ye Jiao talked about the garden on the mountain, Qi Yun nodded: "You're right, we should find some people on the mountain, but these tenants are suitable to keep at home, but the mountain is our own property. , it's not easy to ask the people in Big Brother Zhuangzi to help."
The three brothers have a good relationship, but any relationship must be managed well.
In layman's terms, don't always think about taking advantage of others, otherwise the best relationship will be lost.
Qi Yun touched Ye Jiao's back, put her chin on the woman's neck, and said softly, "Big brother has many tenants, but if we use it all the time, sooner or later there will be discord, so why don't we sell some from outside. Once you have the deed, you will be able to discipline in the future."
Ye Jiao has learned a lot about housekeeping from the Liu family, but she still doesn't know the details. Now that she heard Qi Yun's words, Ye Jiao thought about it carefully and nodded: "Xiang Gong is right, Do as you say."
Then Qi Yun closed the booklet that took away his wife's attention and threw it aside.
But he couldn't do anything to Ye Jiao, so he just kissed carefully, and then said softly, "Actually, it used to be pretty good."
Ye Jiao looked at him with clear eyes, because Qi Yun touched her waist just now, making her laugh, and now she asked with a smile in her eyes, "How are you doing?"
Qi Yun put her chin on her neck, and seemed helpless and sighed: "In the past, everyone ran away when they saw me.
Nowhere like now, people are chasing the door, and they can't run away with a cold face.
Ye Jiao held his face and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "I still think it's better now."
Qi Yun asked, "Why?"
Ye Jiao solemnly touched his waist, poked him again, and then said, "If you left it before, you would gasp for two steps, faint when excited, and lifeless, how could there be Xu Bao?"
Qi Yun: …
The witty Qi Erlang decided not to ask the specific meaning of "dead", because he felt that he would not want to know.
