This... bitten

Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, and when she reached out to pull the two dolls away, she saw Ning Bao opened her eyes.

Of the three children, Ruyi and Xubao have eyes like Ye Jiao, only Ning Bao's eyes look like Qi Yun.

Slightly raised, the ends of the eyes are beautiful, but not as indifferent as Qi Yun, but more innocent and soft.

The little meatball who just woke up looked a little dazed, and he didn't know how to resist when he was lying on his back. Ning Bao was not as lively as Ruyi, and his reaction was a little slow. When he opened his eyes and lay down for a while, he realized that he had been bitten.

But Ning Bao didn't push Ruyi like he did with Xu Bao, but moved softly and struggled a little. After finding that he couldn't get rid of Ruyi, he didn't move again and closed it. Eyes, bitten by wishful thinking, are quite resigned.

Ruyi was happily kissing Ning Bao's face, his chubby hands and feet hooked on him, and after nibbling on this side and nibbling on that side, he had a lot of fun.

It wasn't until Qi Yun stretched out his arms and picked it up that Ruyi let go of Ning Bao.

The little girl seemed a little unhappy, and she hummed twice, but after Ning Bao opened her eyes again after being made by these two hums, Ruyi was silent, and she was put into her own crib and continued to laugh. Ha ha gnawing hands.

Ning Bao closed his eyes again and fell asleep after a while.

Ye Jiao looked at Qi Yun blankly: "What were they doing just now?"

Qi Yun took a silk handkerchief, gently wiped the saliva from Ning Bao's face, and whispered in his mouth: "This is about to grow teeth, Ruyi likes to bite things, and it will be fine after teeth grow. ."

Ye Jiao blinked: "Ning Bao is as big as her, why doesn't Ning Bao bite?"

Qi Yun glanced at Ye Jiao: "He bites."

"Bite what?"

"Bite Xubao."

Ye Jiao: …

When Xu Bao came back, the first thing he did was to kiss Ning Bao. Ning Bao saw him come over, he didn't cry or make trouble, but opened his mouth and bit on Xu Bao's chin, which was a testament to Qi Yun. Tell the truth.

In the next few days, because Qi Ming was preparing for the scientific examination, Xu Bao could only stay at Qi Ming's place for half an hour before returning.

For Xu Bao, this half hour is a good time to listen to stories.

For Qi Ming, it is the rest time between reading. Xu Bao is chubby and has a good temper. Holding it in his arms and rubbing it can relieve the pressure.

However, Xu Bao didn't make any noise when he got to Qi Yun and Ye Jiao's carriage, instead he was well-behaved teasing Ruyi and pinching Ning Bao. Apart from eating and sleeping, it was much quieter than usual.

Ye Jiao could see that Xu Bao was being held back by staying in the carriage all the time, but her fat son was obedient and wouldn't shout out.

But it is not the way to let Xu Bao sleep like this all the time. He was so tired that even Feng Xiucai didn't listen to him.

Qi Yun slowed down the speed of the convoy, and stopped to rest when the sun was shining outside. It was also easier to let the people in the car go down and walk around.

Although it will delay the trip, they are not in a hurry to go to Beijing, so naturally they come as they feel comfortable.

But once I changed the boat, it was much more comfortable.

After Qi Yun took Ye Jiao into the cabin, he walked with her and said, "This is the Qi family's own merchant ship, and there will be two smaller ships that will follow behind, and they will be guarded by people sent by your brother, so safety is not a problem. "

Ye Jiao heard the words, leaned on the window and looked out, then whispered, "Those boats are so small."

"The older ones are more stable. You and the child are the first time on a boat, so I naturally have to find someone who is safe." When Qi Yun spoke, he lightly held Ye Jiao's fingertips and kneaded it in the palm of his hand.

Ye Jiao turned her head to look at him: "Xiang Gong, have you ever sat down before?" Didn't it mean that her husband did not go out at home all the time

Qi Yun said slowly: "I sat there once. At that time, I was very young and seriously ill. Even Lang Zhong said that I couldn't be saved. My mother took me by boat and went to my grandfather's house. It's life saving."

Qi Yun had never said this to anyone, after all, everyone was willing to look forward, and didn't like to open up the scars from the past for others to see.

The experience on the edge of life and death is really too sad, and it is a good memory for Qi Yun, and I have not forgotten it until now.

Ye Jiao couldn't help but clasped his hand, as if to comfort him.

Qi Yun smiled and said to Ye Jiao: "It's okay now, take care of your body, and I will live with you for a long time in the future."

Little Ginseng nodded, thinking that he was right, men really need to take good care of themselves.

As for how to...

Ye Jiao leaned over and hugged Qi Yun tightly.

Hugs and hugs will heal.

Qi Erlang was stunned for a moment, then hugged her back and glanced aside.

Tie Zi understood, pulled Xiao Su and went out, closing the door thoughtfully.

Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man with a medium build and a goatee.

When Tie Zi saw him, the smile on his face disappeared, and he cupped his hands to him: "Manager Wei."

Shopkeeper Wei immediately responded to the post with a salute: "Master Su, I don't know what the boss thinks of my arrangement?"

This merchant ship belongs to the Qi family, and the shopkeeper Wei was sent by the Qi family to do waterway business.

This waterway business is not easy to do, and everything has to use money to pave the way, but once it is done, it will make more money than land. Qi Yun started preparations last year, and Manager Wei was hired by Manager Song. It is appropriate and reliable, but I have never seen Qi Yun's face.

Now that the owner made his own boat, Manager Wei was very happy, and rushed to guard the door.

Tie Zi nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Second Young Master said it is very good, shopkeeper Wei can rest assured, our Second Young Master is very reasonable."

Shopkeeper Wei immediately nodded along with the smiling face, while Xiao Su secretly glanced at Tie Zi, really couldn't imagine how the second young master was so talkative.

But these words are nothing more than a means to appease the subordinates, and no one takes it seriously.

Not far away, someone brought hot tea over. Storekeeper Wei hurriedly took it and said to Tie Zi, "Mr. Su, I have some matters in the accounts that I need to report to the owner."

Tie Zi turned his body to the side, knocked twice on the door, and when he heard "come in" from the inside, he raised his hand, and Shopkeeper Wei entered the door with a smile.

When entering, Ye Jiao still stood by the window and looked out.

Before in the mountains, and later in the house, the little ginseng has never been on the boat. The water here is gentle, the river is wide, and there are green mountains on both sides. Just looking at it, I feel comfortable.

Qi Yun, on the other hand, was sitting at the table, looking at shopkeeper Wei.

Shopkeeper Wei just glanced at it, and felt that this owner was not as weak as it was rumored outside, except that his face was slightly paler, and he was no different from ordinary people.

He didn't even dare to look up at the appearance of the second young lady, he just put down the tea cup, saluted respectfully, and then focused on reconciling with Qi Yun.

Manager Wei likes to go to the camp, and Qi Yun can also see it. This is a slick person. He speaks without leakage, acts cautiously, and it takes a long time to see his face when he says a word.

But that's okay, doing business on the water just needs some tact to get along.

As square and upright as Fang Li, it's fine to open a pharmacy, but if it is placed on this waterway, people will run away every three days.

Qi Yun turned over the account book, and at a glance, he knew that Manager Wei's accounts were clear and clear, and there was no greed for ink, which was good.

How he is a person does not affect his business, Qi Yun is quite satisfied with him.

It's just that Ershao Qi, regardless of whether he is satisfied or not, Ma Wei always has to show his feet when we meet him for the first time.

When he was expressionless, even though he lost his former Rakshasa face and looked handsome, his cold indifference still made Manager Wei break out in layers of cold sweat.

When the answer was over, Qi Yun didn't say whether it was good or not, but just left the account book: "I want to look again, you go first, and then talk about it at night."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Wei hurriedly got up to leave and walked backwards from the room.

As soon as he went out, he heard Tie Zi's voice: "Xiao Su, why are you covering your face with your hands?"

Xiao Su's face was red, even if she saw the second young master and the second young grandma together every day, but every time she saw her, she felt particularly hot.

After listening to Tie Zi's words, Xiao Su put down her hand, but her cheeks were still flushed.

This made Tie Zi look curious: "Hey, what rouge did you put on today? It's so pretty."

Xiao Su glanced at him and replied, "I don't have rouge..."

As soon as Tie Zi heard it, he immediately leaned up: "Then I'll send you a box later, okay? What color do you like, pink, or red?"

This made Xiao Su look at him more, and said softly: "You seem to be quite picky, have you bought it before?"

Tie Zi immediately replied with a smile: "I bought it," before Xiao Su glared at him, Tie Zi said, "He chose for me to buy it for the second young master, and gave it to the second young grandma, not every time. Did I buy it back and give it to you?"

Xiao Su blinked, nodded, and gave a soft "oh".

But the little girl didn't look at him, instead she threw a sentence: "I'll go and see how the little master and the girl are arranged." She turned her head and ran away.

Tie Zi shouted from behind, "I'll buy you the best looking one when I go to Beijing!" This made Xiao Su run faster and faster.

Shopkeeper Wei, who was standing beside him, smiled with relief, and waited for Xiao Su to walk away before saying to Tie Zi, "Master Su, you really know how to talk."

Being so close to a girl is really eager and natural.

Tie Zi glanced at him blankly: "What did I say?"

Shopkeeper Wei:…

It seems that the whole process is only self-indulgent.

When it was getting dark outside, when Ye Jiao went to the next room to feed the dragon and phoenix, Qi Yun called Tie Zi over, handed him the account book, and gave him an abacus: "Take a good look, check the account, and calculate. All right, give it to me."

Tie Zi responded with a sound, and even if he took it.

Usually, no one taught him the skill of calculating accounts, but Qi Yun had secretly used abacus to contact him in the books that Qi Yun gave him before.

Now that time has passed, Tie Zi is still completely unable to use it proficiently, but since Qi Yun asked him to do it, he wanted to see if he had been lazy these days, and of course Tie Zi would not refuse.

Sure enough, Qi Yun watched him fiddling with the abacus beads and didn't say anything. He just held the soup bowl and drank it slowly, looking at the book spread out in front of him with a calm expression.

From time to time, I turn a page, and when I see something good, I will hold a bookmark and clip it as a mark.

As long as Tie Zi raised his head, he could see that what Qi Yun was looking at was not an account book, and the cover was different.

In fact, Qi Yun was looking at Chun and Gong, but his expression was more serious, and he didn't seem to be doing bad things.

But Tie Zi has been concentrating on counting the account books in his hand, and he has never been distracted.

But Qi Yun didn't really want him to finish the calculation. Looking at the candle light on the right from outside the door, Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao had already fed the two dolls and was coaxing them to sleep. to come back.

So, Qi Yun closed the open book and put it together, looked at Tie Zi and said, "How's it going?"

Tie Zi's face flushed, and he drooped his head and said, "I only saw less than a third of it, so I have a little bit of clarity."

Qi Yun didn't ask in detail, only asked him, "Can you find out any omissions?"

"Never."

"Does that tell us what business we usually do with this waterway?"

Tie Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that he didn't do anything, he just helped people deliver goods, but I don't know where the money came from."

Qi Yun put down the soup bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then slowly said: "The business of this world is not only about buying and selling, but also shipping. , We transport official and commercial goods, they receive private goods, they can rely on each other without interfering with each other, and this waterway makes a lot of profits, there are ways to make more money, but if you make too much money, it will lead to disaster."

Tie Zi thought for a while: "What the owner said... They eat meat, we eat soup?"

"It's eating meat together. If you don't fight for profit, you can't let it go. This day will go on." Qi Yun glanced at Tie Zi, "If you don't eat meat and always drink soup, what else should you do? Why don't you jump into the river to drink water? All right."

Tie Zi scratched his head and laughed twice, even though he didn't quite understand it, he still kept Qi Yun's words in his heart.

Seeing that he had listened in, Qi Yun said, "Take this account book back and take a good look. This shopkeeper Wei is capable of doing things. The account book is exceptionally clean. You should take a closer look."

Tie Zi blinked: "Master, is Manager Wei very talented?"

Qi Yun said lightly: "Some details are still inappropriate, but as long as there are no major omissions, it's fine. As for the details, you can go back and read them and let me know."

Tie Zi replied, knowing in his heart that Qi Yun admired the shopkeeper Wei, and that he was really neat in his work, so he was a talented man.

After leaving the door, Tie Zi quickly walked towards his room, but before entering the door, he saw the shopkeeper Wei who was waiting for him in the corridor.

Seeing him, Shopkeeper Wei walked over quickly, smiled and cupped his hands: "Xiaoye Su, why haven't you rested since it's so late? Why don't you let someone serve you a late-night snack?"

Tie Zi smiled and said, "Don't bother the shopkeeper Wei. I'm not hungry. You should rest early when it's so late."

"Thank you Su Xiaoye for remembering, I remember it," then the shopkeeper Wei paused and lowered his voice, "I still have something I want to ask Su Xiaoye for help."

Tie Zi nodded: "Please speak."

Shopkeeper Wei stroked the goatee and said with a smile: "Not far from here, there is a pier, and there are often flower boats parked nearby, and the river boat girl on top..."

"Cough cough." Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Tie Zi hurriedly stopped his words.

Even if the shopkeeper Wei didn't name him, he still knew who the riverboat girl was talking about after a little thought.

I had only heard of prostitutes on the flower boats on the river before, but I had never actually seen them.

For another person, Tie Zi didn't say anything, and the second young master had a way to clean up.

But I just heard Qi Yun compliment that this shopkeeper Wei can do things. Tie Zi has read the account book and naturally knows his ability, so he is ready to remind him: "Manager Wei, with all due respect, the owner has a deep relationship with the young mistress, and he has a child with him. "It's really inappropriate for you to do that."

Shopkeeper Wei was stunned for a moment, but did not turn around for a while.

It's also because he often walks on waterways, and most of the people he has seen are those who run the docks, or else they are rich officials, businessmen, and who can't walk when they see beautiful women

It's just that this set obviously shouldn't be used on Qi Yun.

Tie Zi said again: "It's not easy for Manager Wei to operate here, and Zhang Luo naturally suffered hardships before and after, but if you have to rush to find the owner's young grandma, you won't be happy, I'm afraid that all the hard work will be in vain, wouldn't it be a pity ?"

Shopkeeper Wei immediately understood, and hurriedly bowed to Tie Zi, saying "don't dare", and then bowed again: "Xie Su Xiaoye, I understand, I will definitely not in the future."

Tie Zi didn't care whether he knew it or not, Tie Zi just didn't want to let Shopkeeper Wei go up and hit the south wall.

Otherwise, let him go, according to the temper of his own boss, most of the shopkeeper Wei will give up, Qi Yun also lacks a competent shopkeeper, and Tiezi won't get any benefits, so why bother.

But Tie Zi didn't plan to hide this from Qi Yun, and told his boss the next day.

Hearing this, Qi Yun frowned, but he immediately loosened the folds on the tip of his brows, and said slowly, "Manager Wei is still a bit rough in his dealings with others. When you call him, I have something to say to him. ."

Tie Zi didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Second Young Master, what does this have to do with how people behave?"

Qi Yun said, "Since I knew we were coming, but I wasn't prepared, if I asked a little, I wouldn't be able to do the kind of thing you said."

Qi Erlang's husband and wife are notorious for their harmony, so it's enough for shopkeeper Wei to ask more questions, but he wanted to make arrangements without asking, and even stabbed Tie Zi directly, apparently certain that Qi Yun would agree.

Without beating Qi Yun, he felt that he couldn't justify it.

Tie Zi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he looked stunned, and then trotted to call shopkeeper Wei.

Shopkeeper Wei walked in tremblingly, and after a stick of incense, he came out shaking his legs, his face turned pale when he saw it.

Tie Zi felt uncomfortable for him, but in the next few days, he was peaceful.

Qi Ming was clean. Except for reading, he was resting. On the boat, he seemed to be isolated from the world. His room had the best sound insulation, and it was cleaner than the academy.

It's just that during the days when Qi Yun and Qi Ming were busy with other things, Ye Jiao was free.

It's not that she doesn't want to find something to do, it's just that her physical condition doesn't allow it.

The little ginseng underestimated the importance of being down-to-earth to herself. Ye Jiao, who has always lived on the ground, suddenly arrived to put it on. It was fine for a day or two, and it was fresh, but after a long time, she felt uncomfortable.

Dizziness, drowsiness, and do not want to eat.

This frightened Qi Yun to make her go back and forth to check her pulse several times, for fear of another life, so she felt more relieved when Ye Jiao told him in a good voice that she was definitely not pregnant.

It's not that he doesn't like children. Nowadays, he pays attention to having more children and more blessings. No one will dislike having many children.

But because Ye Jiao was pregnant with Ning Bao and Ruyi within a year after she gave birth to Xu Bao last time, even if the confinement is good and her body is not in serious trouble, Qi Yun is very distressed.

According to what he thought, it would be better not to let Ye Jiao suffer any more in recent years, and he usually has restraint.

Now that he knew it was just seasickness, Qi Erlang was relieved.

Also because of Qi Yun's scare, Ye Jiao's seasickness was much better. After getting used to it, she could get up and flip through the book.

It's just that Ye Jiao read more books than Qi Yun, she sat leaning against Qi Yun with a soft voice: "This is given to me by my mother before I left, and it's all from the woman who brought it this time. The roster, let me take time to take a look at it and take care of the family."

Qi Yun had read this book a long time ago, and it was imprinted in his head. Now that Ye Jiao wants to read it, Qi Yun lets her alone, and just warns: "You have just been seasick for a while, so don't read this word too much. If you feel uncomfortable, let it go, and I can read it to you."

Ye Jiao smiled and kissed him, then slowly turned around.

Little ginseng is not Qi Yun, she has the essence of ginseng, but that can't change her head, and she can't turn a person into a genius.

She watched it slowly, and couldn't remember it at all, but had to read it back and forth many times to remember it.

Qi Yun was also patient and followed her little by little, without appearing to be in a hurry.

After a long time, Ye Jiao felt a little embarrassed: "Xiang Gong, did you remember it long ago?"

Indeed, Qi Yun, who had written it down a long time ago, shook his head resolutely: "How come, I have to look at it more, why don't I read it to you, you may remember it quickly while you listen and watch."

"it is good."

Little Ginseng did not suspect him, and handed the roster to Qi Yun, while he lay on his side on the man's lap, looking at him eagerly.

From this angle, Qi Yun could clearly see Ye Jiao's beautiful face, bright eyes, and light green tube top straps.

Trying to focus his attention on the roster, Qi Yun's voice was calm and read to her word by word.

Ye Jiao listened attentively at first, asking a few questions from time to time, but after listening to her, her eyelids fought, she yawned twice, and fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Xu Bao didn't know when he also climbed into the bed. He didn't make trouble with Ye Jiao, but was playing with a cloth ball. Seeing Ye Jiao open his eyes, Xu Bao immediately climbed over, lay beside Ye Jiao, and stretched out his hand. Holding Ye Jiao's neck, she said in a milky voice, "Mother, kiss."

Ye Jiao just woke up and was in a daze when she heard the words and kissed him on the face subconsciously.

Xu Bao laughed, let go of Ye Jiao, and jumped up and down on the bed, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy! Mother is awake!"

"Understood, don't jump around." Qi Yun picked up Xu Bao and put it on the soft couch beside him, while he sat beside the bed.

Ye Jiao, who was able to kiss Xu Bao so gently just now, saw Qi Yun, and immediately lost her gentle appearance, but stretched out her arms lazily, letting Qi Yun hold her before she was willing to sit up.

Lying on the man's shoulders, Ye Jiao yawned, then rubbed her face in his arms before she said, "I slept very comfortably, even if I dream of people's names."

Qi Yun heard it funny, reached out and patted her on the back: "If you feel troublesome, you don't have to remember it, there is still a long time left to recognize people."

Ye Jiao, who used to be rude to him in the past, shook her head this time, leaned leaning against him, and said slowly, "Mother said, there are many things to do in the management of the house, and the people under you need to be more disciplined. , I can remember as much of this name as I can, and it’s easy to distribute it when I go, I can’t just leave it alone.”

Qi Yun knew that her wife was motivated, and this was also her right as the mistress of the house, so naturally she would not stop her.

The little ginseng's eyes crossed Qi Yun's shoulders and looked at the soft couch beside him after sobering up.

Mrs. Mo was guarding by the side, and on the soft couch, besides Xu Bao, there were two dolls lying down.

Ning Bao still held onto his favorite ball of yarn and did not let go. Because he was small, he had to use both hands and feet to hold the ball of yarn, so he rounded himself up.

Xu Bao and Ruyi both surrounded him, one hugged the other, but Ning Bao, who was surrounded, didn't resist, didn't cry, didn't make trouble, lay lazily, and they tossed about it as they wanted, and even returned to the back. Ning Bao's laughter can be heard.

Ye Jiao found it interesting and wanted to touch it.

At this time, Tie Zi's voice came from outside: "Second young master, shopkeeper Wei has said this, and if you walk forward, you can see the capital!"
