Although Qi Yun said that he would buy people from outside to fill the garden on the mountain, Ye Jiao, who was placed in the yard at home, chose from inside.
After all, it is placed at home, and the affairs of the backyard are all in charge of Liu's, so she must be at ease.
And Liu's side didn't care, only Fang and Ye Jiao were given a wife.
When Mrs. Liu brought someone, she specifically said to Ye Jiao, "Second Young Mistress, this is the old man who is with Madam. Before, Madam's confinement was served by her, and she has always been very good at taking care of children."
This time, Ye Jiao was holding a bowl and eating mushroom chicken balls. Hearing this, she put down the bowl and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Her eyes turned to the woman beside Mrs. Liu.
This woman looks quite old, her hair is already gray, but she is neatly combed and tied with a wooden hairpin. She is fatter than ordinary women, and her face is round and no wrinkles can be seen, and when she smiles, she looks extra kind and generous , facing Ye Jiaoge respectfully: "The old slave's surname is Mo, I have seen the second young grandmother."
Ye Jiao has always had a dignified appearance in front of outsiders, but now she is the same, with a kind smile: "Mom is a kind person at first glance, sit down."
After the two old ladies sat down, Ye Jiao looked at Mrs. Mo.
Feeling Ye Jiao's gaze, Mrs. Mo immediately sat up straight with the same smile on her face.
Ye Jiao asked, "What does mom Mo usually do?"
"Back to the second young lady, I like to cook. I used to take care of the second and third young masters by my wife's side. When the two young masters are older, I will work in the small kitchen."
Mrs. Liu added in a timely manner: "The apricot cheese that the second young lady likes is the best she makes. Even I learned from her."
Ye Jiao's smile immediately became more sincere when she heard the words.
Then I heard Mrs. Liu say, "She also made the soup that the second young grandmother drank when she was confinement."
The genuine smile just now collapsed a lot unconsciously.
However, Ye Jiao was still willing to keep Mrs. Mo.
In fact, Ye Jiao has no doubts about the person Liu gave to her. Liu treats her son and daughter-in-law very well, and she is close to them in everything. This time she is sincere.
Especially Liu Shi even gave Ye Jiao the body deed of Mrs. Mo, which is equivalent to giving this person to her, which is enough to show that there is no selfishness at all.
When Mrs. Liu returned, Mrs. Liu asked, "Does the lady like you?"
Mrs. Liu replied: "Second young lady likes it when she sees it. I walked on the front foot, and the second young lady on the back left Mrs. Mo to cook the noodles."
Liu Shi also smiled when he heard the words: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, and it's a good thing to give her," her voice paused slightly, "Besides, Mom Mo has a bodhisattva face but has a lot of wrists, so she will definitely be able to protect Jiao Niang."
Regarding this, Mrs. Liu also nodded in agreement.
In their hearts, Ye Jiao is the most kind-hearted. After all, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu have never seen Xiao Ginseng's indifference towards outsiders, and they don't know that Xiao Su will beat people if they disagree. In front of them, Ye Jiao has always been the most well-behaved. Yes, especially those eyes, they are very good, clean and watery, people want to protect them more when they see them, Xiaosu is a small one, thin and thin, and feels very pitiful.
Then you have to send a bit of skill and loyalty in the past. Mrs. Mo has signed a body contract, so naturally she will not have two hearts.
And when Mrs. Liu helped Mrs. Liu to the small Buddhist hall, she asked in a low voice, "Madam, the second young lady is pregnant, so it is appropriate to have more people to serve, but why should the first young lady have to add people?"
Mrs Liu knelt on the futon, held the Buddha beads, closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Dalang's family is much better now than before, and his temperament has been corrected, but his parents' family has not been very peaceful recently. I don't care about my mother's comings and goings, but if her mother's brother wants to tease her, I'm afraid she won't be able to see it, and someone will always have an idea."
Mrs. Liu was a little surprised: "How does Madam know that the eldest young grandmother's family is not good?" Obviously, there are not many exchanges in normal times.
Liu Shi turned around the bead string again, with a light expression: "The Fang family is very stingy. Usually, a gift on New Year's and holidays is usually no more than a coin. I don't believe it if it's given for nothing."
"But we also returned their little jade Buddha." Considering the price, the little jade Buddha sent by the Qi family can buy several porcelain bottles.
Liu's tone was calm: "His house has always been in and out. He only remembers what he gave, but he doesn't remember what others returned. Just wait, he'll be there sooner or later."
Mrs. Liu didn't speak any more. After all, it was the master's business, and she didn't say much.
I just felt in my heart, no wonder the eldest young grandmother has such a temper... Family nurture is really important.
After Ye Jiao got Mrs. Mo, she took it with her, and then picked a few servants and asked them to leave the door of the hospital and the errands of teaching her subordinates to Mrs. Mo, and Xiao Su also Follow the study, and within a few days, the arrangement inside and outside the yard will be properly arranged.
However, the old ladies who were working in the yard had two conflicts with Mrs. Mo, but they didn't get in front of Ye Jiao, and the little ginseng just listened, and things often stopped before they got up.
When the weather turned warmer, Ye Jiao, who was four months pregnant, slept less than before, and often went out for walks in the spring, but she was careful every time.
Not only because of Li Langzhong's advice, but also because Ye Jiao felt that her belly was bigger this time than last time.
The last time I was pregnant with Xu Bao, the little ginseng didn't feel any different in the first few months. I should eat and drink. Except for sleeping a lot, I didn't feel anything.
But this time it was obviously faster than the last time.
Especially when sleeping at night, she was always afraid of being accidentally pressed, so she kept leaning against Qi Yun's arms.
Because Qi Erlang basically didn't move when he slept, what he was like when he fell asleep, and what he was like when he woke up, letting him hold Ye Jiao would help Ye Jiao sleep soundly.
This made Ye Jiao often wake up and see her husband's beautiful collarbone and neck fossa.
It was already bright outside, Ye Jiao moved a little, and then saw Qi Yun open her eyes.
In fact, Qi Yun woke up a long time ago, but he was afraid of waking Ye Jiao, so he lay down and closed his eyes. He didn't open his eyes until now to look at her. When he met Ye Jiao's still watery eyes, the man smiled and lowered his head. kiss.
Ye Jiao raised her head to let him kiss, but she would always be a little confused after waking up from sleep, so she buried her face in the man's arms, wrapped her hands and feet around him, and it took a while before she finally woke up.
By the time breakfast was served, it was already three quarters of the hour.
Qi Yun picked up a boiled egg, knocked it on the table, and then rubbed it again, and when the eggshell was cracked, he peeled it off and said, "Brother and Tiezi will be back in about the afternoon, when the time comes. Saburo is almost home too."
Ye Jiao heard the words and asked, "Didn't you say Saburo is going to prepare for the township exam?"
This time, the township examination is to add Kai Enke, and it will start in autumn and August. After the Chinese New Year, Qi Ming went back to the academy to study hard. He said before that he would not come back until after the examination.
Qi Yun put the peeled boiled egg into Ye Jiao's bowl, and replied slowly, "This time he is back to prepare things for the exam, and he also has to buy things for the scientific exam. The government test is very strict, and there are a lot of things to prepare."
This is not an exaggeration by Qi Yun. The township exam is very strict in order to prevent fraud. Not only does it require stripping and inspection when entering the venue, but after entering, as long as the door is closed, it cannot be opened even if it is flooded.
Every year, there are candidates who suffer from the disease and die suddenly, but even if they die, they will not be sent out, but will not be dealt with until the door is opened after a few days of exams.
The road to the imperial examination is difficult. To be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven at dusk. This is the dream of every scholar, but few can really achieve it.
Qi Yun put a chopstick in Ye Jiao's mouth and said, "The family can't help Saburo with academic matters, but I can still help a lot in preparing for the exam."
Ye Jiao couldn't help looking at him: "Do you want me to help?"
Qi Yun thought for a while and said, "I got a Zihao pen, I'll let him try it out if it goes well."
Ye Jiao was eager to try: "Then how about I give Saburo a tassel?"
Qi Yun coughed lightly, not because he despised Ye Jiao's Suizi, but his wife's craftsmanship was really different, not to mention whether Suizi could be brought in, just saying that it was always a strange shape... I'm afraid will affect performance.
Moreover, the tassels that Jiao Niang beat were always for herself, and they were rarely given away, so it would be better to give them to Saburo.
Qi Yun didn't answer, just smiled and put a piece of sand cake for her, successfully diverting the attention of the little ginseng.
In the town, Ye Pingrong was riding on a horse and was touching the purse in his sleeve. It was the tassels that Ye Jiao had hit, and he always carried it with him.
Tie Zi, who was also riding a horse, smiled and said to Ye Pingrong, "Young Master Ye, it's almost noon, why don't you find a place to eat before leaving?"
They hurried on their way early, and now there have been three or four hours before grains of rice have entered.
But what Ye Pingrong was thinking about was Ye Jiao, especially after knowing that Ye Jiao was pregnant, Ye Pingrong could not wait to fly directly to his little sister to see her.
It's just that things in the capital were delayed for a while, Ye Pingrong finally stabilized the affairs of the military, and then he had to choose a mansion together with Princess Hua Ning, and show his brother-in-law a shop.
When I finally got free time, I came back with Tie Zi.
If he was still in the mood to rest and eat and drink before, now seeing that he was about to reach Qi's house with more than ten miles to go, Ye Pingrong became more and more impatient, and he didn't care whether he was hungry or not, and said directly: "No hurry, it's better to go back early, don't make Jiao Niang wait."
Tie Zi didn't say more after hearing the words, and was going to go through the town quickly with Ye Pingrong and go home early.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise in front of him.
Tie Zi glanced at it and found that there was movement in front of the pharmacy run by Fang Li and Dong's.
It was a woman and two young people who seemed to be shouting something, but before they could finish, someone in the shop covered their mouths and let them in.
There are only people around and they are crazy. Usually there are a lot of things outside the Qi's pharmacy, so naturally no one cares.
But soon, a guy trotted out, and as soon as he got out of the alley, he saw Tie Zi sitting on the horse.
He immediately changed his direction and ran towards Tiezi. When Tiezi pulled the horse, he ran up and held his head up and said, "It's not good, something happened!"
Tie Zi heard that what he said was serious, he turned over and dismounted, pulled him and said, "What's the matter? Make it clearer."
The clerk hurriedly said: "There was a woman who went to the shop, like a madman, and said that the second young master was going to drive them out of the city for no reason, and then said that his son could have great prospects, but the owner was cut off. took their lives, and said..."
"What else?"
"It is also said that the second young master used her daughter, but did not acknowledge it."
As soon as these words came out, Tie Zi's first reaction was disbelief. After all, he was someone who looked at the second young master and the second young grandma like glue on a daily basis, saying that anyone is possible, the second young master is really impossible, but Tie Zi subconsciously turned his head and looked at him immediately. Ye Pingrong.
It was an indifferent face.
Although Tie Zi didn't know what was going on, he still argued for his master: "Master Ye, the second master of my family can't. It must be someone who is hard on him."
I thought Ye Pingrong was going to be angry, but who knew that Tie Zi saw Ye Pingrong nodded and replied: "I know, his body and bones have no ability to mess around."
Iron:…
Why don't you think this is a compliment to the young master
But the next second, Ye Pingrong also got off the horse and said to Tie Zi, "I'll go over with you to see, let's go."
