When the boat docked on the shore, it was just past noon, but because it was early spring, the sun wasn't so hot yet, and it felt warm on the body.
After Ye Jiao stepped off the boat with Qi Yun's hand, she felt the down-to-earth feeling, and then boarded the carriage again.
Qi Yun held Ruyi in his arms and gave his daughter to grind her teeth, while she looked at Ye Jiao and said slowly, "It's about half a day's walk from here to the capital, but I want to stay outside the city for one night. , and then enter the city, don't rush too much, and you just got off the boat, it's time to rest."
In fact, Ye Jiao really wanted to visit her new home early, but what Qi Yun said made sense, so she agreed.
It's just that Qi Yun came back from the capital for the first time, and because they didn't want to disturb Ye Pingrong and Princess Hua Ning, they didn't pass on the news. Tie Zi and a few of Ye Pingrong's men led the way, and the group was so slow. of walking on the road.
Ye Jiao had just slept, and now it was the time for her spirits. Even with Ning Bao in her arms, she couldn't stop her curiosity from looking out.
The capital city is very different from the hometown. Even if it is a suburb, the difference can be seen.
If nothing else, the mountain that Qi Yun bought was lush and lush with lush trees, but the forest outside the capital was much shorter, and it was obviously repaired on purpose. some finesse.
But Ye Jiao still liked it very much, at least the road was well built, smooth, and the carriage didn't feel any bumps on it.
After a while, we arrived at the inn where we wanted to stay.
Usually, this road is prepared for traveling merchants, mostly for the preparation of those who transport goods into the city. Although there are other small inns nearby, this is the only place where horses can be fed.
After arriving at the place, Tie Zi got off his horse and walked to the shop assistant: "Can you still go to the room?"
The second shopkeeper looked at the clothes of these people and knew that they were either rich or expensive, especially the first few, even if they were wearing ordinary clothes, but looking at their stature, they knew they were Lianjiazi.
Ordinary people can't use so many hardcover guards when they go out.
The second shopkeeper welcomed a lot of deliveries. Naturally, he was discerning and hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, the shop is full today, I'm really sorry."
Full house
Tie Zi was stunned for a moment, but did not ask in detail, but first glanced at the stables beside him.
There were only three horses inside, and the living room was deserted. Tie Zi couldn't help but frown slightly: "Is it really full, or are you trying to block me with words?"
The shop assistant also had a wry smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Master, I think you are a reasonable person, and I will not hide it from you. Today we have someone here to give you a bag, and our shopkeeper doesn't want to pick it up, but he We can't afford to offend someone we know."
"People you know? Who do you know?"
"The Qi family."
The corners of Tie Zi's mouth twitched, he turned his head to look at the still quiet carriage, and then looked back at the shop assistant and said, "Which Qi family?"
The second shop assistant looked at Tie Zi in surprise: "Master, don't you know? It's the Qi family who just got the golden plaque. I heard that there is also a business in the capital, and our shop only has their Yuye wine and Jinzun. I don't know how much wine was sold. Now this girl from the Shen family is in the palace to be elected, and she said that she is related to the Qi family, so we naturally dare not not pick it up."
After saying this, Tie Zi felt that his eyelids were twitching.
Even if he didn't inquire about the matter of the Shen family, he would still know it roughly. After all, he was always by Qi Yun's side, and a lot of news was passed on by iron.
The Shen family couldn't handle it themselves, and pushed the Dong family's marriage to rush into the palace. The family's eldest grandmother, Mrs. Fang, was close to the Shen family. In the past, she was persuaded to cry back, and she made it clear that she didn't know what to do.
Now it's better, the second young master and second young grandmother of the Qi family, who are serious in their own family, are blocked by relatives who don't know where to talk about it, or rely on the power of the Qi family...
To tell the truth, according to the family background of the Shen family that is not ranked, even the Qi family has never invited them to a banquet. This big girl Shen has never even seen her own family. Where does she come from the face? .
It sounds like a joke, but Tie Zi can't laugh.
He walked quickly to the carriage, ready to ask Qi Yun for an idea.
And Qi Yun, who was in the carriage, had already heard the truth.
In fact, it is a trivial matter that this inn can't live. It really counts as a first-come-last-arrival. The Shen family girl arrived first. Even if the air is bigger, and the rambunctious people talk about it, but after all, people live in and book the inn. There is no reason to blast the Shen family out.
But Qi Yun didn't want to have a relationship with them at all.
Now that I can see clearly, Chu Chengyun has no intention of accepting the concubine at all. Whoever goes will be unlucky. The Qi family is just an ordinary farmer and businessman, and naturally he is not willing to take their light.
What's more, it's not a good thing now, it's a bad thing.
The Shen family was happy to rush in and squeeze in, and don't think about pulling their own skins.
But Qi Yun didn't say anything immediately, but first looked at Ye Jiao: "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Ye Jiao thought about it for a while, Ye Jiao, who was very serious about eating, rubbed Ning Bao's little hand while thinking about it.
Qi Yun nodded, then slightly opened the curtain and said to Tie Zi: "Go and ask the second shopkeeper if there are three bamboo shoots simmering in the shop."
After a while, Tie Zi came back and said, "He said no."
Ye Jiao pursed her lips and said nothing, but this also made Qi Yun lose her last interest in this inn.
The man's voice was calm: "It's okay, we should enter the city in time to stay in the store before the sun goes down." Then Qi Yun's voice paused, "Tie Zi, find someone to go in and make it clear to the shopkeeper, the Shen family It has nothing to do with our family, so don't mix it up and talk about it."
Tie Zi responded and called a servant who followed: "Dong Wu, come here."
Dong Wu trotted over immediately, said a word to Tie Zi, raised his head, turned his head and entered the store.
In a room in the store, Miss Shen was taking a selfie in the mirror.
Although it was picked by Zhizhou, but since it can be sent to the palace, and he is sure that he can be selected, it is natural that he can't fault his appearance.
Willow eyebrows and almond core eyes are the most beautiful when they smile, and those eyes seem to be seductive.
What Miss Shen likes most is her own face. With such a good appearance, of course she wants to give her a good future. It is true that Dong Jialangjun was hooked by her, but since she has the opportunity to attack , Who cares about Dong Jialang
Jinwu is worthy of her good looks.
I was looking in the mirror when I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and there was a noise outside.
This disturbed the good interest of Shen Da, she frowned slightly, and when she turned to look, she saw the maid next to her entering the door.
The maid's face was a little flustered, and after closing the door, she quickly walked to the side of the big girl, squatted down and said in a low voice: "Girl, it's broken, the shopkeeper knows that we have nothing to do with the Qi family, and just said that the money we gave was not enough. The person who booked the inn had to add fifty more, but I said no, so he let others in."
Miss Shen was stunned for a moment, then panicked: "How did he know this?"
Along the way, she used the guise of the Qi family to get cheap, and it was inevitable that she would be distraught when someone suddenly broke it.
The maid said: "It seems that someone recognized us and told the shopkeeper. I heard the shopkeeper's name. It's called Dong Wuye."
In fact, Tie Zi chose Dong Wu because he was close enough to pull him in. Usually, this kind of servant would be low in front of the boss, but when he went out, he would have to talk big like the boss, and his chin was raised high. High, the more publicized the more afraid of others.
Not to mention anything else, the shopkeeper just gave Dong Wu several danglings of money as an apology, and asked him to say good things.
But this surname was unbelievable in the ears of Lady Shen.
At the beginning, it was Dong's family who quit her relatives, but now it's another surnamed Dong who came to pierce her lie, so she would naturally think about it.
Thinking of this, an unnamed fire arose in my heart, but I couldn't tell what I could be angry with, so I could only suppress it, gritted my teeth and said: "Don't worry about him, we will go to another inn to live in if it's a big deal. That's right," the voice paused, "I will be the master when I enter the palace, and I will let the Dong family know what the rules are... Come here and comb your hair!"
The maid was slapped in the face by the wooden comb thrown by Miss Shen, but she didn't dare to say more, she just walked forward with her head down and brushed her hair in a bun.
And Qi Yun's motorcade had already entered the city gate.
The capital is said to be the capital, but it is not a castle in the sky. In Ye Jiao's opinion, it is still the same as the city she has entered before, with a city wall, a moat, and row upon row of street shops.
The difference is that the capital is really big.
Ye Jiao had already put Ning Bao in the car, she leaned against the window of the car and looked out, while watching, she said to Qi Yun in surprise: "Xianggong, look, look, there are people selling apricot cheese over there... There is also Fengshengzhai here, is that one that sells buns? There are also wontons, which look delicious."
Qi Yun laughed while listening. Even though he had never been to the capital, he didn't think it was anything unusual, but looking at the freshness of his wife, Qi Yun felt particularly interesting.
There was a hint of sweetness in my heart.
Thinking about it, the original decision was not wrong. It was time to go out for a walk. Jiao Niang also likes to go out for a walk.
He brought her out by himself.
Thinking of this, Qi Yun felt inexplicably proud, happier than earning more gold and silver.
And what Ye Jiao said was delicious, Qi Yun asked someone to buy some, not too much, just a little, just taste fresh.
It's just that the carriage has not reached the place for a long time, and Ye Jiao has a new understanding of the "big" in the capital.
After waiting, Ye Jiao had seen enough of the street scene, so she concentrated on eating the steamed buns.
Ruyi on the side also wanted to come over and take a bite, but was hugged and avoided by Qi Yun. Ruyi was unwilling and twisted and twisted. Qi Yun put her in Ning Bao's cot, and Ruyi hugged Ning. Treasure, the two of them hugged together and immediately became quiet.
Ye Jiao took the time to ask Qi Yun, "Master, where is your shop?"
Qi Yun didn't answer directly, but corrected: "It's our store."
Little Ginseng blinked and corrected obediently: "Yes, where is our store?"
Qi Yun asked Ye Jiao to lean on him, and said lightly, "There is only one store opened here. It's only a year old, and it can't be done too much, but if you can afford the girl and the children, don't worry. ."
He had read the accounts in the store, and Tie Zi also came to report when choosing the location. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Qi Yun knew everything in the capital like the back of the back.
Maybe others think that a store is already very good, but for Qi Yun, everything has just started, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Ye Jiao nodded. After being a human for so long, the little ginseng can also understand some of the art of speaking about people.
A year is indeed too short, and it is normal to not be able to open a large store. My husband wants to come here and is not ready to disappoint himself.
The little ginseng was very considerate and did not continue to ask, but handed the steamed bun to Qi Yun.
Qi Yun didn't like meat very much, but he would eat whatever Ye Jiao handed him, and this time he opened his mouth and took a bite.
The buns on the roadside are very fragrant, but they are a little oily. Qi Yun thought he was not used to eating them, but when he bit into his mouth, he found that it was much more delicious than expected.
So, the two of them ate a steamed bun, laughing and talking while eating, and when the carriage stopped, just one steamed bun was finished.
Tie Zi's voice came from outside: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, here we are."
Xiao Su got up in a hurry, opened the door of the car, and went down first, while Tie Zi went to move the low stool he was stepping on and put it next to the car.
After Qi Yun got out of the car, together with Xiao Su, they reached out to help Ye Jiao get out of the car, while Mrs. Mo and Xiao Su got in the car again to hold the dragon and the phoenix.
But when he got down, he saw Ye Jiao standing there motionless.
Xiao Su was a little strange and looked up.
Then, I saw a plaque with "Qi's Wine Shop" hanging on the three floors in front of me.
The same plaque hangs on the half street next to it...
Xiao Su was stunned, her mouth slightly opened.
Didn't the second young master say that every inch of land in the capital is so precious? Doesn't it mean that you haven't grown up in a year
But, this is so big...
Ye Jiao didn't expect that the small shop she imagined would look like this, so she looked at Qi Yun blankly and didn't speak.
In fact, Qi Yun has always been telling the truth, there is indeed only one store, and the capital is not cheap, but the most important thing for him is money.
But now that he can see his wife's adoring eyes, Qi Yun's heart beats faster and his ears turn red.
With a light cough, Qi Yun said, "It's cold outside, let's go first."
Ye Jiao nodded, stretched out her hand, tightly clasped Qi Yun's hand, and clasped her fingers tightly.
But before they entered the store, they heard Ye Pingrong's subordinate who had been escorting them into Beijing, said: "Master, Madam, my master is here."
