Ye Jiao was still a little concerned about Wen's family affairs.
It's not that he cares too much about the prosperity or failure of his family. After all, the people who care about the little ginseng are those around him. They don't have so much sympathy for others. What really makes Ye Jiao care about is when they can move out.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, it's time to make a new yard for Shishi.
Because of Ye Jiao's thoughts, Xiao Su and Mrs. Mo tend to be more concerned about the Wen family's affairs. They live close to each other, so it is not difficult to inquire about news, and they know everything well.
But after listening to Mrs. Mo's words, Ye Jiao knew that the next topic would be difficult for the children to listen to, so she said, "Send them back first," then Ye Jiao hugged Xu Bao and kissed him on the face. With a smile, he said, "Will it be good for Xu Bao to play with his younger siblings?"
Xu Bao didn't care about the affairs of the Wen family and the Leng family. Hearing Ye Jiao's words, Xu Bao nodded immediately, went down to the ground with a smile, and said to Ning Bao and Ruyi, "Come on, my brother will read to you. "
Ning Bao didn't speak, but Ruyi just said, "No..." and then Xu Bao took the ball and stuffed it into his arms.
Ruyi is a lively and forgetful person. When he sees the cloth ball, he forgets what he just wanted to say.
Ning Bao, who was holding the ball of wool by the side, didn't speak. He just glanced at them, yawned, and lay lazily in Xiao Su's arms, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
When Xiao Su and the wives left with the children, Mrs. Mo said, "The Wen family discussed relatives before, and said that my family name was Zhang, and I was not from the capital. It is said that he and the Wen family met as old friends at first sight, and they promised each other for life, so they would be hired, but only when the concubine Sun found out, they started to make trouble."
Ye Jiao blinked, and she felt that what Master Wen and the four girls sounded in a mess, she wasn't ready to sort it out, she just asked, "Are they going to move out?"
Mrs. Mo nodded and said, "It's going to be moved. Master Wen has sent out a lot of items on credit for the betrothal gifts. It's been about a few days."
Ye Jiao laughed when she heard this, while Hua Ning, who was sitting beside her, was like a mirror, thinking that the Wen family was really stupid.
Perhaps outsiders feel that as a royal family member, they are usually high and mighty, and they must be despised by ordinary market life, and they do not know much about ordinary businessmen in the capital, but they do not know that Hua Ning knows more than ordinary people. many.
What she wants now is nothing more than Ye Pingrong's future.
Hua Ning has been eyeing Shi Tianrui from the very beginning.
Shi Tianrui will return to Beijing soon, this person will definitely be used heavily, Hua Ning also cares about the Shi family a lot, and will naturally know the details of the Wen family, saving this family from causing trouble to Shi Tianrui in the future.
Hearing this now, Hua Ning didn't say anything, but in his heart he thought that when he went back, he would take a good look at it. It would be better to send the Wen family away sooner than to get in the way every day.
In the Wen family, Wen Minsong didn't know that he had been targeted for a long time, and he was also in a daze.
Wen Minsong, who already had three sons, didn't care much about Sun's child this time, but because Sun was pregnant, even if he knew that Sun had privately embezzled the family's money, he would not have a seizure. Make him grumpy.
Because of this, Wen Minsong was determined not to let the Sun family become bigger, and he did not want to go to jail in order to straighten the concubine's room, as Shi thought, so he married another person with his heart.
It was at this time that Miss Zhang Si entered his life.
She is slightly younger than Wen Minsong, but she is much older than Shi's. She used to be married, but she divorced after a disagreement with her husband's family.
When we first met, Mrs Zhang's carriage was stuck in the mud pit, and Wen Minsong asked people to help, and they became acquainted after going back and forth. Wen Minsong looked at Mrs Zhang and spoke softly, even though he was tall and strong, he was very simple and gentle. Seeing that the Zhang family was a wealthy family, he started thinking.
When the Wen family needed money, he didn't really like the Zhang family, but he never got married because of liking, but because of the interests behind the Zhang family.
Even though he disliked Zhang's marriage and lacked a slender figure, he still pretended to be affectionate.
After the relationship between the two improved by leaps and bounds, Wen Minsong wanted to ask someone to come to the Zhang family to propose a marriage, so that he could get the help of the Zhang family to save his shop.
His abacus was crackling, who knew that the Sun family would find something for him at this time.
Sun shi was lying on the bed, rubbing his flat stomach, his face stunned.
She did stupid things and hated Shi Shi to death, but she never touched human life and never had any troubles.
Losing a child is probably the biggest hurdle in her life so far.
When Shi was there, Sun didn't actually suffer much. Because Shi was upright and not liked by Wen Minsong, Sun's acting like a spoiled child would always benefit, and life was better than anyone else's. Who would have thought that Shi was gone? , The big stone on his head was removed, and the Sun family realized that the Wen family had left the Shi family not in a bright sky, but in a haze.
Turning her head to look, what she saw was Wen Minsong's indifferent gaze.
Sun's voice subconsciously softened: "Master, I..."
"Lang Zhong said that you are fine, you can rest in peace, and don't go out recently, the province will provoke right and wrong." After that, Wen Minsong was about to leave.
Mrs Sun hurriedly sat up, ignoring the discomfort on her body, so she had to get out of bed to stop him, and Mrs Sun didn't dare to move more after being held down by the old woman beside her, so she could only cry out sadly: "Master, I know I'm wrong. Now, I will definitely not use a single penny of the family's money in the future, I just ask you to look after the children..."
Wen Minsong frowned slightly, turned his head to look at her, and said, "I didn't deal with you because of the children. All the money you moved was sent to your parents' house. There are not a few people locked in."
The Sun shi suddenly lost his voice and remained silent.
Wen Minsong continued: "I treat you now because of my affection, but you still lost my child, so you should reflect on it."
Sun shi only felt cold all over. She opened her mouth and her voice was a little hoarse: "Master, this child is also mine... I am his mother, how can I not feel distressed when he is gone?"
"If you feel distressed, you won't treat yourself so carelessly. I'll have a wedding in a few days, so you can stay in the room." After Wen Minsong finished speaking, he walked away.
As if it was the first time that the Sun family had known this man who had been with him for half his life, cold air came from the cracks of his bones.
In the past, I only thought that Wen Minsong only valued money, which was a good thing. If it weren't for this, Shi Shi, who seemed to have a good temperament, would have suppressed himself long ago.
But now, Mrs. Sun knew just how terrifying this Lang Xinrutie was.
In the end, Wen Minsong still married Zhang, but he could not really save his business.
Because it wasn't until Mr. Zhang entered the door that Wen Minsong knew that Mr. Zhang was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The Zhang family had an arrogant and domineering temper originally. When she was still in the boudoir, she was particularly domineering. After marrying someone, it became more and more serious. It was not able to restrain her husband's reconciliation. When he entered the capital, Mrs. Zhang saw that Wen Minsong was gentle and polite, so she pretended to lie to him to marry her.
Unexpectedly, they really worshipped, and after less than half a month, the skin they pretended to fall off completely.
The Wen family is not some wealthy family in the capital, but owes a lot of debt.
And the Zhang family didn't sincerely help Wen Minsong to tide over the difficulties.
Mrs. Zhang hated that Wen Minsong lied to her before, even if she lied to this person, but Mrs. Zhang's temperament couldn't think of her own fault at all, she could only think of Wen Minsong's fault.
However, she is already married for the second time. If she is married again, I am afraid that it will not be easy to return to her mother's family, so she can only recognize it first.
After admitting it, Mrs Zhang didn't want to endure it any longer.
So the temper that was suppressed before came out again, and Mrs. Zhang directly threw away the tenderness that was not used to it, and changed the way to clean up Wen Minsong every day.
She is not like Shi's family without her family's support, nor is she as stupid as a pig like Sun's, Zhang's has a heart and a plan, and she is cruel enough to do things, and she can even slap Wen Minsong!
Zhang's strength is strong, and Wen Minsong is pampered after all. When he was young, he liked to play, and he ruined his body, but he couldn't beat Zhang's, and he often had a look on his face.
But he didn't dare to divorce his wife, because part of Zhang's dowry was taken out to fill the hole in the Wen family's house. I'm afraid that divorce would not be so cheap, and Wen Minsong could only endure it.
Zhang Shi kept shouting and killing, but he endured it.
Mr. Zhang tortured Mr. Sun, who had been locked up, to death, and he endured it.
However, Mr. Zhang found a few enchanting women to entangle his three sons, and Wen Minsong finally couldn't sit still, thinking about liquidating with Mrs. Zhang.
As a result, at this stall, Mrs. Zhang was pregnant, and she used money to keep the last two shops of the Wen family. Wen Minsong suddenly lost the courage to fight her.
He struggled for a few days, but still let it go.
But this house can't live anymore, not only because the Qi family is in a hurry to collect debts, he has to sell the house, but also because the Qi Er family is next door. , Wen Minsong really couldn't accept this kind of gap, and just wanted to escape early.
And Ye Jiao didn't know these things. She was now addicted to playing with medicinal herbs and teasing dragons and phoenixes. The ups and downs next door had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Shi Shi, who was in the orchard on the outskirts of Beijing, knew all this clearly.
Just that night, a man in a black cloak hurried to the orchard, and when he took off his hood, it turned out to be Wen Minsong's concubine Qiu Niang.
Qiu Niang was originally a dancer, and later became Wen Minsong's concubine, and she has always kept herself safe, because she knew that she was not a concubine like Sun's. sold directly.
When Shi was there, it was easy to say, but after changing Zhang, Qiu Niang was afraid that she would be killed like Sun, so she turned around and grabbed Shi as her life-saving straw, and she would tell her everything in detail. .
This time, she also told Shi Shi in detail about the Wen family, and then said, "Tomorrow the Wen family will move out, and the house will be given to the Qi family."
Shi Shi's expression was light, holding the tea cup, looking at the tea leaves that floated and sinking inside, and said, "You think of a way to let the Wen family move their days."
When Qiu Niang heard this, a troubled look appeared on her face.
But before she could speak, Shi Shi shook his head again: "Forget it, the lady of the Zhang family is domineering. If you do something, I'm afraid she will hate her, and it will be even more difficult for you to leave in the future."
Qiu Niang nodded again and again, with a look of hope on her face.
Shi Shi asked the old woman to hand her a wooden box, which was heavy, and Qiu Niang's eyes widened at a glance.
This is a box of silver ingots, holding it in his hand, at least there are as many as a hundred taels.
Shi Shi smiled at her, and said, "It's not easy to exchange a silver note, it's better than cash. Just hold it, you can find a chance to cry with Zhang Shi, just say you want to survive, and then take the money that I let you steal before. Wen Minsong's account book was given to Mrs. Zhang, she will let you go, the money is enough for you to live."
Qiu Niang laughed immediately, then hesitated again and asked, "Madam, she... can really let me go?"
Shi nodded, and calmed down her voice in a soothing manner: "Sunshi got in her way, and she lost her life, but you are careful everywhere, you don't have children yet, she doesn't need to embarrass you, no one is born to like it. Murderer, as long as you're good-natured, she'll nod her head."
Only then did Qiu Niang feel at ease, knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Shi, and then put on her cloak and left.
The old lady went to close the door, then walked quickly to Shi Shi's side, and said, "Master, the heartless Wen family won't bother us again, right?"
Shi's face no longer smiled, and his voice was shallow: "No, after tomorrow, everything will be settled." Then Shi Shi twitched the corners of his mouth again, "I still haven't seen him through, I thought he would still be able to. Some people have human nature, but I didn't expect it to be such a beast."
His wife was treated as an outsider by him, and the concubine who had been doted on for many years could be abandoned like a shoe, that's all, but Wen Minsong could actually sit and watch the three children being led astray by the Zhang family!
For his own sake, Wen Minsong could even give up his son.
Tiger poison still does not eat offspring, it is really inferior to beasts.
It's just that the old woman has doubts in her mind, she doesn't quite understand what day tomorrow is, and she doesn't know how many knives Shi Shi has stabbed in the back of the Wen family.
But this old woman has been with Shishi for a long time. Even if she was stupid before, she can learn something now. She naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask, so she suppressed all thoughts and waited for Shishi to sleep.
On the second day, the Wen family started preparing things to move in early in the morning.
Even if the Wen family was in decline, there was still some wealth that had been saved over the years. Since they were going to move away, these things naturally couldn't be left behind.
Besides, Wen Minsong hated the Qi family so much that his teeth tickled. He didn't dare to do anything because he had the support of the princess's concubine, but this family Wen Minsong wanted to dig up all the weeds and take away the painted walls. Qi family stay.
But I don't know that Ye Jiao, who is next door, knew the news. She was not angry at all. Instead, she said happily to Qi Yun: "Xiang Gong, what will we do after they leave?"
Qi Yun smiled and kissed Ye Jiao's face, hugged her and said slowly, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Jiao thought for a while, but there was no plan in her head.
The little ginseng only felt very happy that she could suddenly double the size of her home, but it was still a little embarrassing for her to be able to say everything honestly.
So Ye Jiao could only break her fingers and said, "I want to plant some trees, both peach and plum trees. I used to have them in the house before, so it's okay to look at them. This time I'll make up for it. I want a cool house. It's almost summer. The children are also afraid of the heat. Oh yes, and build a yard for the children, and they will live in it in a few years."
Qi Yun nodded with a smile, responded one by one, turned his head and said to Tie Zi: "When they leave, I will find someone to push the wall and what should not be inside it."
Tie Zi really wanted to say that this is a bit wasteful. After all, when ordinary people buy a house, they just change the decoration inside, not to mention rebuilding it. It will cost a lot of money for civil engineering, and ordinary people will not do this.
But Tie Zi thought again that this cool house needs to draw living water, and this kind of tree needs to open a new yard. It sounds simple, but they are all work that requires some effort, so it is better to flatten them all.
As for money... The most important thing Second Young Master lacks is money.
So Tie Zi immediately clapped his hands, and then asked someone to bring things, preparing to demolish the house after the Wen family left.
Ye Jiao held back her excitement a little, peeled a grape, and wanted to put it in her mouth, then she paused and handed the grape flesh that had been brought to her mouth to Qi Yun: "Xiang Gong, you eat."
Qi Yun was not polite, and opened his mouth to hold the grape flesh, but the tip of his tongue touched the soft pulp of the woman's fingers.
Even though Qi Yun's body was a little cooler than ordinary people, his hands and feet were always cold, but his lips were always a little hot. The grapes were soaked in cold water, which made Ye Jiao's fingers cool. The little ginseng trembled subconsciously.
She immediately withdrew her hand, and looked at her light-white fingertips with some puzzlement, not quite understanding why she was shaking like that just now.
But when Ye Jiao looked up at Qi Yun, she saw that the man's ears were already red.
Ye Jiao wanted to ask him what was wrong, while Qi Yun wanted to break the topic and get rid of the things in his head that he shouldn't think about during the day, but before they could speak, Tie Zi hurried back.
Before he could open his mouth, he saw Qi Yunzheng staring at him with a confused expression.
Tie Zi was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Xiao Su winking at him.
However, Tiezi had a smart brain, but when he met Xiaosu, he became stupid. Seeing Xiaosu looking at him, Tiezi laughed stupidly, and even forgot what he wanted to say.
Ye Jiao asked curiously, "Why are you back, Tie Zi?"
Qi Yun glanced at him and said lightly, "Speak."
With one word, Tie Zi immediately restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, just after Wen's house went out, it happened to meet the carriage from Shizhi County to Beijing on the street. The old Wen family's car Yu's horse was startled for some reason, overturned the car, and fell, and is now yelling at Lang Zhong on the street."
Ye Jiao had received a letter from Zheng's before. She knew that Shi Tianrui and Zheng's husband and wife were going to Beijing soon, but she did not expect to arrive on the same day.
Surprised the horse
The little ginseng still remembered the Zheng family, and said, "Are Shi Zhixian and Wanying okay?"
Before Tie Zi could speak, Qi Yun, who was sitting beside Ye Jiao, said, "Don't worry, they will be fine."
Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, then when she saw Tie Zi nodded, she turned her head to look at Qi Yun in surprise: "How did Xiang Gong know?"
Qi Yun smiled, thinking in his heart, because he understands the character of Shi Tianrui and Zheng, so he can guess.
What a shock, it's clear that it's to vent anger for Shi Shi, so it's just looking for bad luck for Wen Minsong.
And the person who can do this kind of face-to-face is not happy, I'm afraid it's not Shi Tianrui, that person has a brain and a plan, but he is full of family and country, works in an upright manner, and is the most upright person. The person who can't do it can only be Zheng Zheng. 's.
She was originally the daughter of the lord, but now that she has returned to the capital, she has come to her own place, to see whoever is not happy can toss whoever, without any hesitation.
Qi Yun even felt that he didn't need to mess with the Wen family in the future. After all, everything in the Wen family that could interest him was in his hands, and he had nothing to do with him.
The Zheng family and the Shi family are so angry that they want to spread their anger on him, but Qi Erlang won't do anything, so the Wen family will let them vent their anger.
It's just that these Qi Yun didn't tell Ye Jiaoming, but pretended to smile and said: "Not only do I know that they are all right, but I also know that they are coming soon."
As soon as Tie Zi heard it, he felt that this was not difficult to guess.
This is Dongcheng, most of which are the homes of merchants. Shi Zhixian will definitely not live here when he goes to Beijing to report his work. He will come here naturally to visit Qi's house.
It's just that the little ginseng couldn't think of this, she blinked: "Whose door is going to?"
Qi Yun smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's the door of our house."
At this moment, a young servant ran over and said, "Second Young Master, there is a man surnamed Shi outside with his wife and children, saying that he wants to see Second Young Master and Second Young Grandma."
When Ye Jiao heard this, her eyes lit up.
When the servant left, Ye Jiao grabbed Qi Yun's hand and shook it, with joy in her voice: "Xiang Gong said it again, it's amazing!"
Qi Erlang enjoyed the respectful gaze of his wife, then got up and dragged Ye Jiao to the front hall.
Sure enough, it was Shi Tianrui and Zheng who visited.
After not seeing him for several months, Shi Tianrui looked very different from before.
Being an official in the local area is different from being an official in the capital. It is very training people. When the Beijing official comes into contact with the powerful and powerful family, it is only after the foreign office that he realizes the suffering of the people.
Shi Tianrui came out of hard times, but his temperament will change a lot after becoming an official. When he returned to Beijing this time, he still looked elegant and polite, but he was much more calm and restrained.
Seeing Qi Yun, Shi Tianrui had a lot to tell him, but Ye Jiao didn't have the heart to listen and took Zheng Shi to the back hall.
In the corridor, Mrs. Zheng held Ye Jiao in her arms, looked at her slightly, and then smiled, "I haven't seen her for a few months, but Jiao Niang is still so beautiful and graceful, which is really enviable."
Ye Jiao gently squeezed Zheng's wrist, feeling that this person was healthy and raised the corner of her mouth: "Wanying, you are too, very healthy and not fat."
These words are simple, but direct, and inexplicably make Zheng feel close, thinking that Jiao Niang is still the same Jiao Niang, nothing has changed, and the strangeness just now disappeared, Zheng Shi smiled and got closer again, said : "I also brought something here this time. Chunlan's pharmacy recently got a few medicinal flowers. She didn't know the effect, so she asked me to bring it to you."
Ye Jiao and Mr. Dong have known each other for a long time, so naturally they knew what Mrs. Dong meant. She nodded and said, "Wait until I see. If there is someone I know about the medicinal properties, I will write to her and tell her."
Mr. Zheng never thought that Mrs. Dong had this meaning at all. She was stunned for a moment, and then she rolled her eyebrows with a smile.
Then Mrs Zheng asked about Queen Meng's body.
She had an old relationship with Queen Meng in the boudoir. Although she was not a close friend, she knew each other well. She had recognized the Yu Ruyi that Queen Meng had given to Ye Jiao before, so she could guess their relationship.
At this moment, Empress Meng was pregnant, and Mrs. Zheng was happy but worried for her, so she asked a few more questions. Ye Jiao returned one by one, thinking that she was going to send some medicinal flowers to Empress Meng.
After all, it is useful, even if it looks good.
In addition to caring about Empress Meng, the Zheng family was especially curious about Ye Jiao's three children.
Before the birth of the twins, Zheng often came to see Ye Jiao, and also liked to tease Xubao. After the Qi Er family went to Beijing, they didn't see each other again. The child changed after a while, and Zheng missed it very much.
Everyone likes milk dolls, especially after Ye Jiao said that the dragon and phoenix fetuses can walk, Zheng Shi really wanted to see them: "The last time I saw them, they were still small, but now they have grown, I don't know. Is it like a sweet girl or like your husband."
Ye Jiao walked towards the wing with her and said, "I can't tell, anyway, they don't look much like each other."
Zheng Shi smiled and said: "I have seen twins, they are exactly the same, but most of the dragon and phoenix are not very similar, but they are all good-looking children."
Little Ginseng nodded immediately, and raised his chin proudly: "That's natural, my husband and I both look good."
Zheng Shi looked at her, she couldn't hold back, she stretched out her hand and squeezed Ye Jiao's face, when Ye Jiao looked at her with some doubts, Zheng Shi immediately put down her hand, coughed lightly, and pushed the door of the wing with her. Go in the door.
At this time, Ruyi was sitting on the blanket, playing with the toys in her hands.
This is mostly what Xu Bao left from playing at the beginning, not because Qi Yun and Ye Jiao are reluctant to buy new ones for their children, but these are all Xu Bao's thoughts. He will share what he likes with his younger brothers and sisters and look at them. Have fun playing.
At this moment, Ruyi is holding a cloth tiger, and there is a small flower dog on the ground. Ruyi took the cloth tiger and poked the little flower dog. Not knowing what to think, he giggled and said, "Meow, meow, bark. , darling." Hearing that, Zheng's heart softened.
Then Mr. Zheng turned his head and saw Ning Bao sitting on the small bench and Xu Bao squatting in front of Ning Bao.
Xu Bao was holding a piece of milk cake in his hand and was about to feed it to his younger brother. He also took care that his younger brother had a small mouth and was not easy to bite, so he specially broke the milk cake into small pieces and handed it to him.
It's just that every time before handing it out, Xu Bao has to laugh and shout, "Brother, call me brother."
Ning Bao usually doesn't like to talk, but when he eats, he is still willing to give Xu Bao this face, and shouted obediently: "Brother." Then he opened his mouth and received a piece of milk cake.
But if it's just a shout, that's all, but Xu Bao is very excited and raises his hand with a smile: "Brother."
"elder brother."
"younger brother?"
"elder brother!"
"younger brother!"
"… "
Seeing that Ning Bao was silent, Xu Bao did not give him the milk cake. Xiao Ning Bao stared at Xu Bao, while Ye Jiao and Zheng Shi, who were watching outside the room, did not speak. Looking at them with a smile and interest.
The next moment, Ning Bao stood up, turned his head and left without even looking at Xu Bao.
Xu Bao thought that his younger brother was angry and was about to chase when he saw Ning Bao standing behind Ruyi and reached out to pat Ruyi.
Xiao Ruyi was originally playing with the cloth tiger attentively, but after being photographed, she turned her head blankly, and saw Ning Bao staring at her.
Then, Ning Bao pointed at Xu Bao, and said to Ruyi's milky voice: "Sister, call me brother."
Ruyi is different from Ning Bao. She is very talkative and lively. She immediately laughed and shouted crisply: "Brother!"
Ning Bao was very satisfied, and reached out and pulled Ruyi to Xu Bao. In Xu Bao's blank eyes, Ning Bao poked Ruyi, and Ruyi said sweetly to Xu Bao, "Brother."
With this cry, Xu Bao had no temper at all, and obediently gave all the milk cakes to his younger brothers and sisters.
Seeing this, Zheng Shi could not straighten her back with laughter, Ye Jiao also raised her eyebrows.
Hearing their movements, the three children looked over and ran over.
Zheng Shi immediately hugged Xiaopang Dun Xubao and asked him, "Does Xubao know my aunt?"
Xu Bao immediately nodded: "I know, my aunt gave Xu Bao books."
Zheng Shi was surprised at first, she sent the book true, but it was half a year ago, but she didn't expect Xu Bao to remember it so clearly, she was really smart. Then he smiled and hugged Xu Bao into his arms, and shouted for a while, not if he liked it.
On the other hand, Ye Jiao hugged her own twins, touched their belly, and prepared to let someone bring some rice cereal to feed them.
At this moment, someone came over and said outside the door: "Second young lady, the lady of the Shi family is here, it's in the front hall."
