Chapter 131

Views:

In this world, there are not many people who can make Ye Jiao take it to heart.

Ye Pingrong is obviously one of them.

The last time Hua Ning came back with Ye Pingrong, the relationship between the two was undecided, Hua Ning was chasing closely, but Ye Pingrong retreated quickly, and seemed unwilling to be involved in the royal marriage.

But the little ginseng is a clear-sighted person. From the beginning, seeing that Ye Pingrong did not refuse Hua Ning to hold his hand, she knew that her brother was already happy in her heart. At that time, Ye Jiao recognized that Hua Ning was her sister-in-law.

Now that the two are finally getting married, Ye Jiao is naturally happy.

She couldn't help but look at Qi Yun with a smile and said, "I will definitely go to see my elder brother and sister-in-law." Then Ye Jiao's voice paused, "It's just my husband, is the capital far away?"

Perhaps for others, entering Beijing is an easy matter, no big deal, and even many people are particularly keen to take a look inside the capital.

For someone like Ye Jiao to be an official in Beijing with relatives, it is indeed a good thing that many people can't ask for.

But the little ginseng is different. She said that she had lived for thousands of years before, but in fact the place where she lived was the mountain forest. She moved occasionally to avoid being poached and eaten by people or goblins. At other times, the little ginseng stayed obediently. In the soil, it is rarely moved.

Now that I am a human being, the farthest I can do is to go to the mountains or go to the city.

Now that she is going to go to Beijing in the future, she also knows that it is a long trip. It takes a long time for Ye Pingrong to come back and forth from the capital. Now that it is Ye Jiao's turn, she is inevitably a little uneasy in her heart.

In fact, Qi Yun had never been to the capital, and he had not traveled much farther than Ye Jiao.

But Qi Erlang had the heart to appease his wife: "It's okay, although the capital is far away, but I'll take the official road along the way, and I'll bring accompanying guards, so I'll be fine."

Ye Jiao looked at him: "What about the children, come with you too?"

This time, Qi Yun did not agree immediately, but after carefully calculating the time, he said: "Xu Bao is going to take it with him, he is quick to remember things now, he must study hard when dealing with people and things, lay a solid foundation, and take him with him. ," Then Qi Yun looked at the two little guys who were sleeping together in the crib, "They didn't know how to speak at that time, and we didn't necessarily come back when we passed by. They stayed with their mother and raised them. already."

Qi Yun didn't finish her words. Usually Ye Jiao wouldn't ask in detail, but it was about her own children, so Ye Jiao naturally wanted to ask clearly: "Do you want to live there for a long time?"

If Ye Jiao didn't ask, Qi Yun wouldn't be too detailed, but when Ye Jiao asked, Qi Yun explained in detail, "The shops in the capital are doing well, so this time I went to make a careful calculation. , if we can make it bigger, I'm afraid we have to live longer."

The little ginseng never asked Qi Yun about business matters. The person left and right was always by her side, and there was no need for her to worry about the things next to her.

But hearing that she might be going for a long time, Ye Jiao subconsciously touched Ruyi in the little bed.

Although Xiao Ruyi was still asleep, she opened her mouth and bit Ye Jiao's fingers directly.

The small mouth without teeth slammed, and seeing that there was nothing, she let go of Ye Jiao, tilted her head to herself and went to sleep.

Ye Jiao rubbed the little thing's saliva on the cloth towel beside her, looked at Qi Yun and said, "What should I do after a long time?"

Qi Yun said: "If things are stable over there, we will come to pick you up or the whole family will go to Beijing together."

These words caused Xiao Su, who was listening, to widen his eyes slightly.

She doesn't think there is anything unusual about Xiao Ginseng, but Xiao Su has suffered from poverty and hardship since she was a child.

It is not easy in every aspect to have a house in the capital, make a living, and live a stable life.

In Xiao Su's heart, all the capital in the capital is a courtyard made of gold and silver, and a house made of jade.

But what Qi Yun said was light and calm, and it seemed that it didn't matter, so Ye Jiao nodded and agreed.

But what Qi Yun and Ye Jiao said was simple, because they didn't want her to worry. In fact, there were many things to consider.

Who to take, how to go, and where to live, all have to be carefully calculated.

Usually there are also merchants who go to Beijing, usually living in the courtyard behind the shop.

But Qi Yun didn't just want to go by herself, but to bring his wife and children with him, and in Qi Yun's heart, her wife's past life was too hard, and she was always unwilling to let it go and felt wronged.

If you can buy a house, you need to find a house. If you can buy a house directly, it is the best.

However, Qi Yun didn't intend to bother the future concubine, but Ye Pingrong had his own way to find out.

When the shopkeeper of the Qi family wine shop in the capital began to inquire about the mansion, Ye Pingrong realized that his sister and brother-in-law were going to Beijing to buy a house.

As soon as he told Princess Hua Ning about this, Hua Ning immediately looked at him and said, "Okay, it's the best thing for Jiao Niang to come, and I can also have a playmate."

It's not that Hua Ning lacks someone to play with, on the contrary, there are many people who want to curry favor with her.

There is an uncle who is a general and is Chu Chengyun's favorite younger sister. Hua Ning has even been assigned a fief that is very close to the capital, which is enough to see the favor of the sage today. The noble families in the capital naturally want to get along with her. relation.

It’s just that it’s not business that is catching up, it’s the same with dealing with people.

It's hard to be ignored, but it's tiresome to listen to too much flattery.

Hua Ning is now with Ye Pingrong besides going to the palace to find Empress Meng to talk, and she is too lazy to see the people next to her.

But Ye Jiao was different, not only because she was Ye Pingrong's sister, but also because she was a pure and simple woman who would not be extra careful because of her high position and weight, so it was always comfortable to get along.

Hua Ning also directly stopped the job of finding a house for Ye Jiao: "There are not many other houses in the capital, that is, there are many houses, Qi's family is not an official family, those cheap confiscated properties are impossible, but finding a suitable location The house is also easy. It's just that you don't mention it to the emperor, he has been annoying recently, if there is no big happy event, don't go to him. "

Ye Pingrong couldn't help but ask, "What's bothering the Holy One?" Ye Dalang couldn't help but recall it, only that the weather has been good recently, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. Except for the previous heavy rain, it can be said to be a rare good situation, and it is time to be happy.

Hua Ning squeezed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to eat, and said in a vague voice, "Isn't it because those ministers forced him to fill the harem with Na'vi people? Every day someone talks about it. When I saw Brother Huang last time, he even smiled. nothing."

Speaking of this, Ye Pingrong also shook his head.

Military generals are different from civilian officials. If there are no military matters in the court, military generals rarely speak.

Even if Ye Pingrong is now a fourth-rank official and a close official of the new emperor, but when he was in the imperial court, Ye Pingrong just poked it there as a decoration, or he was wandering in the sky, or he looked down at his shoes, anyway, he would Wandering.

But it was Ye Pingrong who didn't think so, and he could hear the persecution of those ministers.

They seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with the fact that only one person in the emperor's harem favored, and on the grounds that the queen had no children, they took turns to play, making Chu Chengyun extremely annoying.

Ye Pingrong has never expressed his opinion, and he doesn't want to ask more. He just needs to stand up and help the emperor when Chu Chengyun signals him.

But now that Hua Ning mentioned it, Ye Pingrong asked more: "The matter of the harem should be regarded as the emperor's family business, why are they so keen?"

After Hua Ning finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he was holding the tea cup and sipped the sweetness in his mouth. Hearing the words, he said, "They just want to send their daughters to the harem, and hope to become a king. Even the mother family of the future emperor will take this one step to the sky."

While speaking, Hua Ning squeezed another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The craftsmanship of Linxian Pavilion in this capital is truly outstanding. When Jiao Niang comes, she will definitely invite her to dinner every day.

But in his heart, he was a little tired of those aristocratic families.

They most like to step on the low and hold the high. They will rush to the icing on the cake, and they will fall into the woods when they send charcoal in the snow. Hua Ning has seen it before. He desperately ran to find Chu Chengyun, and pinned all his hopes on the third brother to survive.

Now that Chu Chengyun is in power, they want to catch up and chase after him.

Do their big head dream!

Hua Ning knew about Queen Meng's methods, and Queen Meng was backed by the Meng family. She was very confident and could do whatever she wanted.

And Hua Ning didn't think Empress Xian and her two sons really died violently. Empress Meng could do things that Chu Chengyun couldn't do. She could pull out anyone who got in her way.

Now, it's just that some people are uncomfortable.

But these words, Hua Ning also thought about it in his heart, and never dared to say it.

She looked at Ye Pingrong and lowered her voice slightly: "It's just that they don't understand my imperial brother, even if the imperial brother had a concubine before, but when the imperial brother was down, the only one who was willing to escape from the capital with him was the empress. , From then on, the queen was destined to be the queen forever, even if there were no children, the emperor would rather adopt and be expected to change his mind."

Ye Pingrong nodded, and if it was someone else, he certainly didn't believe it, but his own emperor understood it himself.

He used to be the guard of Duan Wang's mansion and had been following Chu Chengyun, of course he knew the friendship between Chu Chengyun and Meng's.

Chu Chengyun attached great importance to friendship and was a kind and benevolent person. Even if the first empress and a few brothers were persecuted like that, all he thought of was running, not killing to stop killing.

If he hadn't finally found out that others would not give him a way to survive, I'm afraid that Chu Chengyun would really be able to take the Meng family to the end of the sea.

This is a total suffering, and Chu Chengyun is not such a hypocritical person, nor is he lewd, I am afraid that he will not be able to do things that make Queen Meng sad.

Hua Ning glanced at Ye Pingrong and said softly: "I am like my brother, he will not let him down if he promises his sincerity, and I am the same."

Ye Pingrong's ears suddenly turned red, and he didn't realize for a while that he seemed to be saying the opposite.

All he could think of was a tough change of topic: "Actually, Jiao Niang and her brother-in-law don't have to spend money to find a house when they come to Beijing, it's okay to live with us."

When Hua Ning heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

She is a princess, but the most honorable, but she is very happy to spend time with Ye Jiao. The noble girls next to her are tired of getting along with her husband's family, but Hua Ning is looking forward to Ye Jiao's hurry to come and lively.

But there are some things that I am not willing to do, not to mention whether my sister will let outsiders gossip if she lives in the house of my brother and sister-in-law, but only that person Qi Yun. Hua Ning heard Queen Meng talk about it many times and knew that Qi Yun looked weak. Weak, in fact, the heart is the most lonely and arrogant.

And it hurts Ye Jiao to the bottom of her bones, she is afraid of falling while holding it, and she is afraid that it will melt, she just doesn't know how to treat her well.

He can endure things that depend on others, but he won't let Ye Jiao suffer.

It's just that Hua Ning didn't say these words directly, but gently held Ye Pingrong's hand and said with a smile: "They came because we got married, they watched the ceremony, when you and I are newly married, Yan'er, you are sure to live with others. ?"

This time, Ye Pingrong didn't have red ears, but blushed. He stood up immediately, threw the words "Go to reply to his brother-in-law" and ran away, while Hua Ning stared at his back, unable to straighten his back with laughter.

When Ye Pingrong's letter arrived at Qi's house, it happened that Ye Jiao was due to give birth.

Ordinary people can only sit for 30 days, but both Qi Yun and Liu insisted that Ye Jiao should be kept for a while longer, so they could only go out after sitting for 40 days like last time.

But after "regaining freedom", the happiest person was not Ye Jiao, but Xu Bao.

He has always been attached to Ye Jiao. After he has younger brothers and sisters, Xu Bao is well-behaved and knows that he can't make noise to his mother. Every time he obediently endorses and speaks, he just sits beside Ye Jiao to watch his younger brothers and sisters, beside him. does not require anything.

Now that Mother can go out, and Ning Bao Ruyi can also come out for a walk, Xu Bao is the happiest.

He even became obsessed with running to see the children every day, and then standing beside the little bed he once slept in to endorse his younger brothers and sisters. Ye Jiao once asked him why he did this, and Xu Bao answered confidently. : "Let them know how good I am!"

Ye Jiao didn't quite understand why Xu Bao said this to the dolls who couldn't understand anything. When asked about Qi Yun, the man rarely avoided answering.

Just because that's what he said to Xu Bao, as for the reason...

Left and right Ning Bao and Ruyi couldn't understand the words, Xu Bao went to bother them... No, it's good to share the splendid splendor in the book with them.

As long as you don't come to find yourself, everything is fine.

And when Xu Bao went to find his younger brother and sister to "play" again, Qi Yun sent Ye Pingrong's reply letter to Ye Jiao and said, "Leave this matter to my brother and sister-in-law."

In the past, Qi Yun would honestly shout separately, but Ye Jiao called Hua Ning's sister-in-law every time, and over time Qi Yun followed.

Ye Jiao also nodded, but she still thought about it and said, "Then we have to bring something to thank them."

Qi Yun also felt that this was the case, not only for the matter of looking for a house, but also because Ye Pingrong was very careful when looking for a shop for Qi Yun before.

Then Qi Yun heard Ye Jiao say, "It's not uncommon to say goodbye, it's better to share the book with them, it's useful if you think about it."

Qi Erlang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "What book?"

"Just the books that you brought back, Xiang Gong, were just pictures and no words."

Qi Yun: …

But in the end, Qi Yun agreed, but it should be delivered privately, they... must be able to use it.

After confinement, she can dress up, Ye Jiao cleansed her face, and then sat obediently on the chair, holding her head up and letting Qi Yun thrush her eyebrows.

Men are used to doing these things for a long time. Even if they haven't done it for more than a month, it is very easy to pick up things that are already familiar.

Holding the Luo Zidai that she just got, she gave Ye Jiao a detailed drawing, and Qi Yun said in a soft voice, "Mother Liu came and said that my mother got a coconut. It's rare to have a coconut at this time. Someone made coconut cake, you can go and try it."

As for eating, the little ginseng never gave up its pursuit. Hearing this, he nodded immediately: "Okay, will you go with me?"

Qi Yun changed his eyebrows and said, "I'm not going, I'll go see Mr. Feng later, ask him if he's happy to go to Beijing with us, and then go to the front of the government office to help the third brother see the list. ."

Ye Jiao just remembered that August was not only the day when she gave birth to her baby, but also the day when Qiming Township's exam was completed.

Counting the time, it's time to put it on the list.

Even though Little Ginseng has never studied the way of the imperial examination, she is very concerned about Qi Ming.

Not only because Qi Ming is his own family, but also because Qi Ming was enlightened by Qi Yun.

She has always believed that her husband can teach the champion.

Therefore, Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun with some excitement: "Master, let's go and see, Saburo will definitely be able to do well in the exam!"

Qi Yun didn't quite understand where this excitement, also called, came from, but he didn't ask deeply. When he kissed Luo Zidai, the man held the woman's face and looked at it carefully, then leaned over to kiss her.

Lips that have been smeared with mouth grease are a bit sweeter than usual, and they can taste some peach blossoms. I think Ye Jiao used peach blossom mouth grease this time.

Ye Jiao also let him kiss, and hung Qi Yun's neck, bit his lower lip with a smile.

When Qi Yun tried to restrain himself and left, there was still a faint scent of peach blossoms in his mouth.

This time Qi Yun went to the city much easier than last time.

Before, Ye Jiao and the child in her womb had always been in my heart. Even if I was sitting on the carriage, I felt like a nail was born under my body, and I couldn't sit still.

It's different now, the baby girl is safe and the child is healthy, there is nothing more happier than this.

Qi Yun did not go to the school this time, but went straight to Feng Xiucai's house.

Going to Beijing is not an ordinary thing. Even though Qi Yun is sure that he can live well, Feng Xiucai is only Mr. Xi Xi who came to get money to teach. They didn't sell it to you. If you don't want this job, you can leave at any time.

Qi Yun thought that Feng Xiucai would not follow him, but out of respect, and because Xu Bao liked Feng Xiucai as a teacher, Qi Yun made this trip.

Who knows, after Feng Xiucai heard Qi Yun's words, he responded without saying a word.

He is a hearty man with a bright smile, and he didn't reply directly without hesitation: "Xu Bao is the best kid I've ever met. I like to teach, but everyone likes to teach someone smart and clever. As long as Young Master Qi is in charge of my room and board, so I can follow him wherever he goes, it doesn't matter."

There is still half a sentence, Feng Xiucai did not say clearly.

He is now hopeless in his career. Feng Xiucai has a wealthy family and does not worry about food and clothing, so he will no longer take the exam.

But if you don't take the test, there will always be some unwillingness in your heart.

Xu Bao is the smartest child he has ever seen. In Feng Xiucai's view, the future is limitless.

It is a virtue that such a student can bring one good in his life.

Back 10,000 steps, Qi Yun's family background and ability needless to say, who does not know about ten miles and eight townships? Being a Xixi in his house is not bad either.

I heard that the twins were born again, and when Xu Bao grew up, the two children had to be enlightened again. After ten years of worry-free, it would be no problem to go to the capital.

Qi Yun didn't care about Feng Xiucai's original intention. It was the best thing for him to follow. It would be great to have a well-informed Xixi at home. Qi Yun immediately called someone to come, prepared the documents, and discussed it well. Went to Yueyin and signed with Feng Xiucai.

After pressing the handprint, Feng Xiucai was no longer the teacher of the private school, but the western seat of the Qi family.

Qi Yun generously gave him 100 guans, so that he could give it to his parents to explain. Feng Xiucai felt in his heart that the Qi family was really rich, and 100 guans could not be saved by ordinary people after ten years of earning, and they would just give it away. Well, no pain at all.

But this also gave Feng Xiucai confidence. A wealthy family is better than a precarious situation. He can also be regarded as finding a reliable employer for himself.

After leaving Feng Xiucai's house, Qi Yun went to a tea shop.

However, he didn't bring Tiezi, but asked him to watch the list first, and squeezed to the front early, otherwise the list at the government office would be too big and there would be too many people, I'm afraid that if you stand far away, you won't be able to recognize it.

When Tie Zi was gone, Qi Yun took the carriage to the tea shop.

There are not many tea shops in the city, and there are only five in rough calculation, three of which are owned by the Qi family.

This time Shi Tianrui chose Qi's tea shop. When Qi Yun arrived, he saw Shi Tianrui listening intently to the book.

The storyteller sitting on the front desk was very devoted, even in the late autumn, still holding a paper fan, a green shirt, and a board in the other hand, talking about a new book.

Qi Yun didn't say a word, stood and listened, and heard that the storyteller was talking about a rich and noble couple's deep love story.

Husbands and wives are deeply in love, but there are many clan elders who force men to take concubines, but the man is upright, and he cherishes his wife very much.

This is actually not a new story, that is, what the storyteller said is very exciting, especially the urgent and sinister faces of those clan elders are vividly portrayed.

It's just that Qi Yun felt that some of the details inside were extraordinarily hidden and familiar.

For example, a man was persecuted by his first-class mother at home, another example was the assassination of his own brother, and a fairy gave a man a magical medicine to bring him back to life...

Although Qi Yun didn't know who the rumor was, he didn't plan to stop it.

Since it can spread, it proves that there are people on it, so it's okay to listen.

It's just that her little girl has become a fairy, which makes Qi Yun quite happy.

When the book was over, Qi Yun walked to Shi Tianrui.

Shi Tianrui could actually hear some hints, but he was calm, he was concerned, his face was calm, and even when Qi Yun came over, he could still keep a smile, without the slightest change.

But before he went to say hello, he saw Tie Zi hurried in from outside.

Shi Tianrui was thinking of getting up and meeting Qi Yun, but when he saw Tie Zi, he stretched out his hand without speaking.

Qi Yun looked at Tie Zi and said, "How is it?"

Tie Zi took two breaths, and then said loudly: "Congratulations to the owner, the third young master is in the middle!"
