Ye Jiao was holding a tea cup when she heard the words, "What's wrong with Huiniang?"

After Hua Ning heard this, he smiled and replied, "I will call the Empress in the future. She told me that you are going to Beijing soon. I miss you, and I want to see your children and have a lively together."

Ye Jiao changed her name when she heard the words: "The queen wants me to bring Xu Bao, Ning Bao and Ruyi to the palace together?"

"Just bring Xubao, the dragon and the phoenix are still young, let's talk about it later."

When he said this, Hua Ning also sighed in his heart.

In fact, for Hua Ning, the one who is close to her is Chu Chengyun, but the one who gets along the most is Meng Huixian.

Empress Meng may be resolute and ruthless towards others, but she has always been gentle and virtuous towards those close to her, especially when she treats Hua Ning, she is as close and kind as her own sister, and they never shy away from anything. .

Hua Ning is very aware of Empress Meng's current worries.

Choosing a concubine or not choosing a concubine is the next thing. The emperors around the world do not have such thoughts. Empress Meng is also a means. Even if she really fills the harem, she has the ability to stabilize her position.

But the queen has no children but she favors it alone, which has really become a piece of her heart.

Now that I want to have a fun with Ye Jiao and her children, it is not psychological envy, I want to enjoy the blessings of the children.

Ye Jiao didn't think about it so much, and she didn't have the mind to speculate, she just nodded and agreed: "I'll bring Xu Bao to see her in a while."

Hua Ning nodded with a smile, and then pushed the refreshment on the table towards Ye Jiao: "No hurry, now the palace is busy preparing for the test, and many people's eyes are also staring at the harem. , you are busy with your work first, just listen to the Queen's arrangement."

Those who stared at the harem were nothing but officials who wanted to send their daughters in.

It's just that no one can tell whether their future will be good or bad.

Thinking of this, Hua Ning couldn't help shaking his head: "Everyone said that being an emperor is good, but I think it's not good. I used to go wherever I wanted. Brother Three Emperors always talked about traveling all over the world, but now I'm sitting in that golden room. Inside, a bunch of people follow you every time you go out."

Hua Ning said it was okay, but not everyone could hear it.

For someone else, hearing Hua Ning say this, I'm afraid I have to cover my ears and pretend not to hear.

Ye Jiao looked at her curiously, thinking in her heart, she said in the book that it is good to be an emperor, but listening to her now, she seems to have her own troubles.

When it was about dinner time, Steward Qin from the shop came over to invite someone.

Qin Guanshi looked at about thirty years old, with a square face and clear eyebrows. When he smiled, he said that he was a businessman, but he was more like a literati.

Because Princess Hua Ning was also a famous person in the capital, Steward Qin naturally recognized it. After entering the door, he first greeted Ye Jiao and Princess Hua Ning, and then said to Ye Jiao in a warm voice, "Second Young Mistress Fu'an, please come before you go. Dining room.”

Ye Jiao nodded and told Xiao Su to accompany Mrs. Mo to take care of the three children, and then she and Hua Ning went to the front hall.

But in the past, Ye Jiao didn't see Qi Ming, so she looked at Director Qin: "Where's Saburo?"

Steward Qin still looked gentle and gentle, lowered his eyes, smiled and cupped his hands back: "I just went to invite him, the third young master said that he has an appointment with someone, and he will not come back to eat tonight, so that the second young master and the second young grandmother don't have to wait. he."

Ye Jiao didn't react as soon as these words came out, but Qi Yun was stunned for a moment.

Now everyone in the Qi family is going back to Beijing. If there is any, it is this shop and Ye Pingrong, the eldest brother.

Qi Ming is young, he has never even been out of the city before, and now he doesn't have too many candidates to go to Beijing to take the exam. Where did he come from as a friend

If it is a friend, I am afraid that there is only one left.

After thinking about it, Qi Yun could only think of the letter that Ye Pingrong said would be burned.

... No wonder it was burned after reading it, it turned out to be an appointment to go out, and the emperor's trace was indeed not allowed to be seen by others.

Qi Yun's eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Pingrong, but it happened that Ye Pingrong also looked over. The two looked at each other and saw the surprise and understanding in each other's eyes.

But Ye Jiao didn't think about that, until Ye Pingrong and Hua Ning were sent away, and when Ye Jiao and Qi Yun went back to the room to rest together, Qi Yun told her, "I'm afraid it's the one who ran out to meet Saburo."

that one? who

Small ginseng is obviously not suitable for that kind of metaphorical speech, and there is a daze in his eyes.

Qi Yun leaned into Ye Jiao's ear and said something, Ye Jiao's eyes widened slightly.

She had just heard from Hua Ning that the emperor was also uncomfortable, but now Qi Yun told him that Chu Chengyun ran out to find Qi Ming...

Are you saying you can't just go out

Qi Yun thought that Ye Jiao was frightened, so he reached out and touched the woman's back, and said slowly, "It's okay, he and the third brother are just reminiscing about the old times. Let's take a test to compare their studies, and there will be nothing else."

Ye Jiao didn't worry about this, but tugged at Qi Yun's sleeve and asked, "Is it safe for Saburo to run out like this? There has never been peace around that person. I'm afraid that Saburo will be in trouble."

As soon as Qi Yun heard it, he knew that his wife still remembered the last time she was assassinated after meeting with Chu Chengyun.

If the situation is uncertain, Qi Yun will definitely let someone go out and get Qi Ming back. He can save his life, but Qi Ming is not necessarily. He is still a half-old child. I don't know how to run.

But now that person is already the honor of Ninety-five, and the most peaceful around him is, naturally, there is no need to worry.

The man lightly held Ye Jiao's hand and said, "It's okay, Steward Qin sent someone to escort Saburo behind him. I think I'll be back soon."

Ye Jiao felt relieved when she saw Qi Yun said this, and there was a smile on her face.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Yun let Ye Jiao sit down, and went outside to have someone bring hot water, but instead of bringing it through the door, Qi Yun went over and brought the basin into the room.

One big and one small, the one that was beaten had medicinal herbs in it, and the small one had petals in it, and Qi Yun placed them by the bed side by side.

The man looked up at Ye Jiao and beckoned, "Come here, soak your feet."

If it is replaced by a wealthy household next door, who earns money and has servants, these things will naturally be done by subordinates, and there is no need to do it yourself.

It's just that Qi Yun didn't have the habit of being waited on for everything, and secondly, he always felt that taking care of Ye Jiao was particularly fun.

This is a habit Qi Yun developed when Ye Jiao was pregnant with twins. At that time, Ye Jiao was pregnant with two, and her belly was much bigger than others, and it was difficult to sit down, let alone bend over.

Qi Yun helped her to rub her legs, massage, and even carry the basin together.

As a result, he still does.

The man saw that Ye Jiao wanted to take off her shoes, so he let Ye Jiao sit down, and he squatted down slightly to remove her shoes and socks, holding the woman's ankle and carefully putting it into the wooden basin, his eyes were Looking up at her, she asked softly, "Is it hot?"

Ye Jiao shrank back at first, but quickly got used to it and said with a smile, "It's not hot."

Qi Yun got up, washed his hands first, then wiped Ye Jiao's hands with a wet cloth, and then sat down beside Ye Jiao, but didn't rush into another tub, but instead Put a lid on the pot and wait for the medicinal materials inside to dissolve.

Ye Jiao looked down at the two basins, and suddenly hit Qi Yun's thigh lightly with her knee: "Xianggong, thank you."

Qi Yun smiled: "It's alright, as long as you like it."

Ye Jiao looked up at him again, hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm a little hungry."

I was talking to Hua Ning just now while eating, but my mouth stopped eating. It was fine just now, but now I feel hungry when I soak in the hot water and relax my body.

Qi Yun reached out and pinched the woman's face: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Ye Jiao's voice was vague: "I didn't remember it just now, I can eat it later... Huh?"

But before she finished speaking, she saw the man put a paper bag in her palm.

Ye Jiao is very familiar with this paper bag, her eyes light up: "Fengfengzhai?"

"Well, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Fengshengzhai." Qi Yun asked Tie Zi to buy it. Seeing that there was also Fengshengzhai in the capital, he wanted to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Ye Jiao liked, but he never got it after he bought it. When I came out, I waited for my wife to call me hungry.

Ye Jiao leaned over and took a sip on his face, then happily opened the paper bag and ate the cake.

Qi Yun slowly opened the lid of the basin, thinking in his heart, the lady should eat more, finally calm down tonight, and always be able to do things that have never been done before.

But as soon as he soaked in, Mrs. Mo's voice came from outside: "Second young master, second young grandma, the young master and the girl are crying, and they are making a noise to find someone."

When the child was young, he always liked to be accompanied by his parents, but he would cry in a hurry when he couldn't see it.

If it was a child, Mrs. Mo could still handle it.

But now there are three dolls, and two of them can't speak, so they can't tell the truth. One can cause trouble with the other two. Rao is Mrs. Mo who is experienced in bringing children. .

Usually, Qi Yun went to comfort him, but Ye Jiao saw that he was "inconvenient to move", so she put the paper bag aside, wiped her feet neatly and put on her shoes and socks, and said, "I'll come when I go." He put on his coat and went to the next wing, leaving Qi Yun sitting there, looking at the two red candles in front of him, his expression unclear.

In the end, Qi Erlang didn't wait for his wife, Ye Jiao coaxed the three little ones to sleep with them and didn't come back.

On the second day, when everyone left the shop and moved to the newly bought house, Ye Jiao didn't quite understand why she separated the dolls' yard from her own.

The reason Qi Yun gave was: "When they grow up, they will become independent. It would be good to get acquainted with them earlier."

It's just that at night, it was Qi Erlang who took the initiative to carry the three children into the house. After all, there was more time for a family of five to sleep together, and no one was willing to bear the other.

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.

Qi Yun originally wanted to find an academy for Qi Ming, and also find a good teacher to teach him well, but now Chu Chengyun comes out of the palace to meet Qi Sanlang one day in five days. All can get something, Qi Yun gave up the idea of looking for the academy.

As the ruler of a country, Chu Chengyun has his own restraint, and of course he can't do things like omission, but his experience of the current situation, the government and the suffering of the people is probably more than that of Qi Ming who is locked in a house. It is obviously better for Saburo to talk to him more than to keep his head down and study.

Moreover, Qi Yun could see that Qi Ming really respected Chu Chengyun, and every time he came back, he could tell himself a bunch of things about him, blowing Chu Chengyun up in the sky.

I had to say before that I was a little nervous before the exam, but now I am happy every day, Qi Yun looked at it and felt that being so relaxed was also a good thing for preparing for the exam.

No longer in charge of Qi Ming, Qi Yun concentrated on managing the business in the capital, looking at the account books for several hours every day.

Ye Jiao was also busy with other things.

This new house occupies a large area, which is larger than others, but not comparable to the original Qi family.

However, the Qi family built a house in the village. It was as big as the plot, so naturally there was no need to be stingy with the land, and this place was in the capital. Every inch of it was expensive, and it was rare to have a house.

There are a total of four yards and a garden here, which is quite enough.

The little ginseng wanted to make use of the garden as early as possible, so that the medicinal seeds that he brought with him had a shelter, but it was not really spring yet, the ground was still hard, and he had to wait.

She took advantage of this time to recognize all the people in the back house, and they went to their respective places in order.

It's easy to say, but it's really not easy to do.

When I really manage the affairs of the back house and gradually settle down, the time has already entered March.

Seeing that it was a good day today, Ye Jiao coaxed her three children to sleep, and then quietly took Xiao Su and two servants out to the street.

She didn't ask a carriage to follow her this time, but walked slowly on the street.

Since I've been busy since I came here, I haven't had time to look around in the capital until now. Now that I finally have time to spare, Ye Jiao still has fresh energy, and Xiao Su is even more happy, as if her eyes are not enough. She looked left and right, but she kept following Ye Jiao closely, for fear of losing the second young grandmother.

But if she had gone to the city before, Ye Jiao would more or less buy some things to bring back, but this time Ye Jiao didn't think about buying anything, she just walked around the neighborhood, remembering what alleys were around it. , what street.

After all, if you want to live here for a long time in the future, you should know what is nearby, and Qi Yun said that the relationship between the neighbors should be more harmonious. There are also many merchants in the capital who want to befriend his family. The neighbors came to have tea, even if I didn't recognize it now, I probably had a good idea of who was nearby.

But as she was walking, Ye Jiao saw a group of people surrounding her.

Surrounded by three floors and three floors, only an old man can be seen from the gap, looking extremely pitiful, while two women are standing in front of him, dressed as girls from wealthy families.

Anyone passing by will take a second look and see the excitement, but the little ginseng does not like to join in the fun, and is used to being too lazy to go to places with many people.

Although Xiao Su was curious, she retracted her gaze and followed Ye Jiao's side to prepare to walk away.

But just a few steps away, I heard a woman's voice from the crowd: "Do you know who my young lady is? This is the relatives of the Qi family, and this is a family that even the saints value, and they want face the most. Yes, since you said you can sell it apart, you have to sell it apart, and you want to go back and regret what you just said?"

… my relatives? Why don't I recognize it

Ye Jiao paused for a while, then turned around and said softly, "Let's go and have a look."
