Xu Bao immediately looked at Ruyi, and Ning Bao also lifted his face from Qi Yun's arms and looked at his sister. A smile appeared on his fleshy face, and he muttered softly, "Sister is awesome."
The onlookers were also amazed. They only thought that this girl was lucky and must be a good character.
Ruyi didn't think she was any different, she stared at the golden goat lantern from the beginning, and she was happy as long as she could get it in her hand.
Hearing what the stall owner said, Ruyi put the ball directly on the plate, clapped her little hands to herself, her little butt swayed, and raised her hands towards the golden goat lantern at the top of the shelf, with a pair of beautiful almond eyes shining brightly. Yes, obviously very happy.
Although the stall owner is distressed, he is also a person who has eaten and seen it. Guanpu business is also a business, and naturally he will not default on his account.
With a sad face, he asked the man to pick up the largest lantern with a pole. The stall owner also took a duster and carefully swept away the dust on it, and checked the burning candle inside. Then he handed the lantern to Ye Jiao, saying in his mouth. : "Madam, you and your girl are really lucky, and you will be accepted. I'd like to accept the bet. Come, you can take it. Happy New Year."
This kind of generosity made Qi Yun take a second look. He still remembered that the stall owner gave a lot of things last time and couldn't get up from sitting on the ground. This year has made a lot of progress, and it is not easy to say congratulations.
Ye Jiao took it with a smile, raised her hand to let Ruyi in her arms look at the lantern, and the little ginseng looked at the stall owner and replied, "Happy New Year."
The stall owner bowed his hands to Ye Jiao, thinking in his heart, don't encounter it in the future... It's too uncomfortable to pay for one encounter.
The little guy stood by and didn't dare to speak. He looked back and saw that the biggest lottery on the shelf was won by someone. If he keeps his stall open, I'm afraid that no one will come. Today, he is planted in the hands of others.
Neither of them saw Qi Yun, who was tightly wrapped in a black fur coat and a black rabbit fur hat, quietly dropped something on the table before leaving with Ning Bao in his arms.
The stall owner sighed for a while, and then said, "Okay, close the stall and come back tomorrow."
The young man responded and was about to pack up, when he saw a round gadget on the tray on the table.
Ordinary balls are made of wood, painted with different colors of paint, and there will always be some unevenness.
But the ball was golden and gleaming, and reflected light under the ravages of the street lamps.
The young man leaned over, stretched out his hand and pulled it out, put it on his hand, and then bit it with his teeth, his eyes widened, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth.
But immediately he covered his mouth, held back his words, trotted to the stall owner, held the beads and said, "Master, master, look at this."
The stall owner was still distressed in his heart, but he didn't even look at it when he heard the words, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
"This, gold, a ball of gold!"
As soon as the stall owner heard it, he immediately looked down and saw the golden ball in the boy's hand.
He took it in his hand and looked at it, turned it upside down, and the stall owner said in a low voice, "This piece of gold is enough for ten lanterns."
The little guy was happy at first, then a little puzzled, and asked, "Did someone lose this thing?"
The stall owner patted him on the head: "Silly boy, this must be left by the lady who just picked up the lantern."
The little guy still didn't quite understand: "Why?" The lanterns were drawn by others, so what to do with the money.
The stall owner could not have imagined that he would get a golden ball just by saying the New Year's greetings.
Qi Yun is never stingy with those who can make his wife and children happy.
And after getting the golden sheep lantern, Ruyi's interest suddenly rose.
This lantern is regarded by the stall owner as Guan Pu's biggest highlight. There must be his reason. This golden sheep lantern feels some weight in his hand. The eyes and horns are covered with gold foil, and there are very thin jade pieces. embellishment.
Although it is not a good jade, it is a luxury to use these to decorate lanterns.
Ruyi was young and couldn't carry it. Ye Jiao couldn't hold her lantern, so Xiaosu often let Xiaosu hold her in her hand to show Ruyi on the way.
The little girl has been happily looking at her trophies, pointing her finger from time to time and saying, "This is Ruyi, go back and play with Yue'er." Xu Bao and Ning Bao on the side also nodded, the three children can chat naturally to one place.
Qi Yun also bought lanterns for the two boys, but they were not as big as the one they wished to be.
It seems that they know how to spoil their sister since they were young.
When walking through the long street, there are many stalls with small items on both sides, and there are many good things inside.
Qi Yun's eyesight is very good, so Ye Jiao took him to buy a lot of small things. Although it wasn't worth the money to put them together, it was more delicate and chic. The little ginseng wanted to keep some for herself, and then take some back. The queen of Beijing gave it to the Huaning Shi family and Queen Meng, always with a lot of heart.
After letting go of Kongming Lantern and writing a love poem, the family returned to the carriage and prepared to leave.
The three children were tired and fell asleep, lying side by side on the cushion, one by one, each covered with a small quilt, and slept soundly.
Ye Jiao was sitting next to Qi Yun, and she reached out and fiddled with the tassels hanging down from the lantern, and said softly, "This is actually made of paper, I'm afraid I can't help playing."
Qi Yun also looked at it, and after scrutinizing it, he said, "It's okay, I will find a way."
Ye Jiao was relieved, and carefully put the golden sheep lantern aside, and after the carriage moved, she leaned against Qi Yun's arms, closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Mother told me about Saburo before. My family, I think it will be decided this year."
Because the stove was burning on the carriage, Qi Yun had already taken off his furry fur coat. At the moment, he was only wearing a dark cloak. When Ye Jiao came over, Qi Yun opened the cloak slightly and wrapped his wife. tight arms.
Then he bowed his head and kissed the woman's hair, and said slowly: "This marriage can be settled early, but if Saburo wants to get married, I'm afraid it will take a while, choose a good day to choose an auspicious day, and have to go to the emperor's place. Crossing the Ming Road, we will have to wait until the second half of the year."
Ye Jiao smiled, rubbed against Qi Yun's neck and said softly, "I just don't know if Saburo knows that he is going to get married."
Qi Yun thought to himself, of course he didn't know, otherwise the silly boy would be so happy that he couldn't sleep every day.
Then Ye Jiao stretched out her fingers and gently hooked Qi Yun's fingertips, yawned, and said, "There will be several tea parties in a while, and my mother will take me to the temple to worship, about One can only return to Beijing for a month."
Although Qi Yun still has business in the capital, for Qi Erlang, the comfort of his wife is the most important thing. Hearing the words, he said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"I'll go to the tea party by myself. My sister-in-law will also accompany me, but I'll go to the temple to pray. Let's go together. I'll go and ask for a peace charm for you."
Qi Yun couldn't help but smile: "I thought the lady didn't believe in gods and Buddhas."
Ye Jiao looked up at him, and said, "I didn't believe it before, but I thought, Mother is right, I would like to say more prayers, what if it happens again?"
Qi Erlang didn't expect that his mother could really brainwash Ye Jiao, and he couldn't help crying and laughing. He leaned over and kissed her on the mouth again, and said softly, "Jiao Niang is my elixir."
Little Ginseng smiled proudly: "Of course."
And Xu Bao, who woke up and opened his eyes, saw his father and mother were tired of being together. He was neither noisy nor noisy. He staggered his eyes with winking, turned around slowly, and hugged the flesh directly. Xiao Ningbao, who was almost at a loss, yawned lazily, and then went to sleep.
After watching the lanterns this time, even if the lanterns in the city will last until the Lantern Festival, Ye Jiao doesn't have time to take the children to see them together.
She has things to do every day. In addition to going out with Mrs. Fang, she also wants to talk and chat with Mrs. Liu, and the lady in charge will also come over to have tea with Ye Jiao, and little ginseng is rarely free.
On the contrary, a few children were playing together, and they were not affected by the liveliness of the house at all.
Although Shitou and Xubao each have their own homework to complete, but because of the New Year, the adults do not require them very much, and only they themselves will be harsher on themselves.
Xu Bao needless to say, reading is the child's favorite entertainment, and it is not easy to drag him out of the room.
Shitou had a childlike temperament and did not drop himself into the book bag, but when he left Beijing, Shitou got a box of snacks that Wu Miaoer gave him, and a letter from Wu Miaoer encouraging him.
It clearly stated Wu Miao'er's ardent expectations for him, and he was particularly optimistic that he could study hard.
Although Wu Miaoer only mentioned a polite sentence, Shitou has a sincere temperament, and he believed it when he wrote it, and Shitou was determined to go back and swore to his brother Wu as a brother of the opposite sex. Even more effort is required to set an example.
Therefore, when Xu Bao was studying, Shi Shi also read along, and he could write and sleep hard without the supervision of Qi Yun, which made Fang Shi and Ye Jiao a little worried.
It's better to go out for a walk. What's the matter with being bored in the house?
In the end, the two mothers found a way to drag them out of the room, which was to use their respective sisters to fool them out.
Yue'er is still young, but she has to go out regularly to bask in the sun. Ruyi has a lively temperament, can run and dance, and likes to play. Ye Jiao asked her to call her brothers, so she went, her voice was sweet like Qin Like honey: "Brother Shito, brother Xubao, play with Ruyi."
How can these two stand up to each other? Every time he chooses to put down his book and go out to coax his sister, if Ruyi smiles, they can laugh along.
And these days Ruyi likes the most, one is Sister Yue'er, and the other is Jinyang Lantern.
She is always the youngest in the family. Now that Ruyi sees Yue'er who is younger than herself, she naturally likes it. Yue'er is also fair and beautiful. Although she is still a baby girl, she loves to laugh very much and is particularly likable.
Ruyi is willing to let the old woman hold Yue'er sister to watch the golden sheep lantern together, especially at night, Ruyi must have people light the candles in the lantern, and several children gather together, whether it is playing games or listening to Xu Treasure endorsement, as long as there are lanterns in Ruyi, I will be happy.
It's just that lanterns are lanterns after all, and they will always break after playing for a long time.
This day, after Ye Jiao coaxed the dragon and the phoenix to sleep, she sat aside, frowning slightly at the lantern on the low table.
Hearing that the door outside opened, Ye Jiao got up immediately, carefully picked up the lantern, and asked Mrs. Mo to take good care of the children, and then Ye Jiao carefully went out of the inner room.
After closing the door, he turned his head and saw Qi Yun who was taking off his coat.
Usually when he came back, Ye Jiao would definitely come over to hold his hand, or to ask if he was comfortable, or to talk about what happened today, there were always countless conversations between the two husbands and wives.
But this time Ye Jiao just put the lantern on the table and said to Qi Yun, "Look, what should I do?"
Qi Yun looked over and saw a brown mark on the golden sheep lantern that was supposed to be clean.
In fact, this lantern has been played by several children for so long, and it is inevitable that it is damaged. The child's hand is not clear. Even if Ruyi treasures it, he will not be cautious every time. It will always be accidentally scratched or broken. knocked down.
Fortunately, there is a handy iron at home. The paper kites in the Qi family are usually made of iron. Now as long as the lantern breaks, the iron will take it while the children are sleeping and make up a piece. can also see.
But when I was drinking the soup just now, I took up half a bowl of soup.
Not to mention that it was pasted paper, even the gold foil and jade flakes were poured and changed their color.
"It's fortunate that Mo's mother responded quickly and used the milk cake to divert Ruyi's attention. That's why she didn't find out. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to cry now." Ye Jiao said, reaching out and poking at the already unrecognizable Lantern.
Qi Yun went to wash his hands, wiped it with a dry cloth, and went to the charcoal basin to dissipate the cold air from his body. Then he walked behind Ye Jiao and wrapped his wife's waist, and said slowly, "Why, my lady is distressed about lanterns? "
Ye Jiao turned her head and bit his lips lightly, mumbling, "There's nothing unusual about lanterns, what's there to feel bad about? I feel bad for Ruyi."
Ye Jiao still understands these three children.
Xu Bao has a good temper. Even if he encounters unpleasant things, he can always solve himself. Without waiting for others to comfort him, the child can comfort himself.
Ning Bao was so sullen that it would be difficult for him to say two more words, even though he was young, he had a big idea in his heart.
Only Ruyi, young and charming, is an obedient and well-behaved little padded jacket, but the most soft-hearted, this lantern is like a living thing in her eyes, if she knows that the lantern is ruined, she will be sad for a while for a while.
Qi Yun was letting Ye Jiao gnaw at him, and the ladies left and right were reluctant to hurt him, so Qi Erlang was extraordinarily fearless.
When Ye Jiao wanted to let go of him, Qi Yun leaned in and kissed him firmly, causing the little ginseng to stare at him, forgetting what to say.
Qi Yun slightly curved the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Don't worry, Jiao Niang, I'm ready."
Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, then saw that the man let go of her, walked to the box next to the bookshelf, stretched out her hand and opened the wooden box.
This box was brought back from the capital by Qi Yun, and it originally contained account books and books.
But what Qi Yun brought out from the inside was an extraordinarily delicate lantern.
Putting this lantern next to the golden sheep lantern that had changed color, Qi Yun said, "Let's give this to Ruyi."
Ye Jiao couldn't help but leaned in and looked at it, first nodded, then shook her head.
These two look roughly the same, but if you look closely, you can find many differences.
The new lantern that Qi Yun was holding was made of gold foil and jade pieces, not to mention, it was also strung into bones with pearls and covered with fine silk. It was obviously much more delicate than the previous one.
Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at Qi Yun: "This will last a long time, but... Will Ruyi see it?"
Qi Erlang smiled and said, "Don't worry, she can't see it."
Although the little ginseng has always trusted her husband unconditionally, she was still a little nervous when she gave the lantern to Ruyi.
Although her own girl is not yet two years old, she is very smart. She looks at this lantern every day, and it is inevitable that she will be discovered.
Ruyi, who had just woken up, did not ask for lanterns immediately, but stayed in Ye Jiao's arms and hugged her mother for a while, then went to play with Ning Bao for a while, and waited for Shito and Xubao to come over. It was only when I was looking for her that I remembered my lantern.
When she turned to look, Ruyi stared at the new lantern on the couch, stunned, and after a while, she said, "The lamb has changed."
Shitou and Xubao recognized at a glance that the lantern had changed, but they shook their heads tacitly.
Shitou said first: "No, it's still like that. Look how beautiful its eyes are."
Xu Bao also nodded: "Yes, it's still the same." Then Xu Bao's eyes turned to Ning Bao, who was sitting on the soft couch holding a ball of wool.
Xiao Ningbao looked at Xubao slowly, and then at the lantern, and then said softly, "It's the same."
Seeing that the three brothers nodded, Ruyi quickly put aside any doubts, stood up with a smile and went over to touch the lanterns, and said a lot to Xiaoyang, and then went to play with the brothers.
Seeing that she was fooled, Ye Jiao felt relieved, turned her head and kissed Qi Yun's face: "It's still a clever man."
Qi Yun smiled lightly and accepted the compliment calmly.
But this lantern did not follow them back to Beijing, but was left to Yue'er by Ruyi.
Xiao Ruyi didn't hesitate when she let the lanterns go to Yue'er. When Ye Jiao asked, Ruyi answered bluntly: "Sister Yue'er, be good, Ruyi's brother is here, brother Shitou can't accompany Yue'er, let the sheep with her."
As soon as Ye Jiao heard this, she took several sips of incense on Ruyi's face. She only felt that her girl was really nice, and her mind softened into a puddle of water.
And when Qi Er's family was going back to Beijing, several children were a little down, and the one who cried the most was Ruyi.
In the end, the child can't bear the sorrow of parting, even if it's only been a month since he came back, Ruyi is particularly reluctant to be here. .
Ye Jiao hugged Ruyi and coaxed her in her arms, looking at the little guy's red eyes when he fell asleep, she turned her head to Qi Yun and said softly, "Will she still cry when she wakes up?"
Qi Yun thought for a while, then opened the car door and said to Tie Zi, "Wait a minute to call Xu Bao over."
Tie Zi responded and went to another carriage to greet Mrs. Mo.
Ye Jiao was a little puzzled: "What do you call Xu Bao to do?"
Qi Yun was calm and calm, and said in a steady voice, "Let Xu Bao come to endorse it. Ruyi can't hear this the most, and he will definitely forget about crying."
Ye Jiao: …
When the Qi family returned to Beijing, the items they bought had already arrived in the capital earlier.
Because Qi Yun wanted to stay in his hometown for 50 days, but most of the things he bought were for the New Year's Eve, and it wouldn't take too long to give them away, so he had them sent to the capital early, and asked Qin to send them to the capital. The steward found the right person to send it out.
Among them, Ye Jiao wanted to give to the well-connected ladies, and Qi Yun wanted to give to the people who had connections in the capital.
Among them, Ye Jiao specially bought a beautiful topaz carved melon and fruit ornament for Shi, a jade-faced screen for Hua Ning, a good tortoise comb for Zheng, and Queen Meng for Empress Meng. What was prepared was to be brought into the palace by Tuo Huaning.
Now that Hua Ning has passed the most dangerous month, the tire is sitting firmly, and if you want to go out, you don't need to hold it like before.
Because of her strong body, she felt no inconvenience at the moment except that her stomach was a little heavier.
When he entered the palace, Hua Ning was also walking like a fly. When he saw Empress Meng, Hua Ning's face was full of bright smiles: "Imperial Sister-in-law Fu'an."
Empress Meng was sitting on the soft couch and staring at Chu Jingming in the cradle. Hearing Hua Ning's voice, she waved to her with a smile and said, "Hua Ning, don't be too polite, come and sit."
Hua Ning sat down according to the words, and looked at Xiao Jingming, who was sleeping soundly, and said with a smile, "This child is fatter than the last time I saw him."
Saying that the child is fat is not a good word, but Queen Meng likes it very much.
Due to premature birth, Xiao Jingming was born a small one, not much older than a cat. Although he was strong when crying, it made people feel distressed to see such a little guy.
Now that she can develop such a white and fat appearance, Queen Meng has worked hard. What she is most willing to hear is when others say that his child is fat.
Being fat is healthy. Empress Meng only hopes that her children will be healthy and healthy.
She covered Chu Jingming with the quilt, looked at Hua Ning, and smiled gently, "What is Hua Ning's intention here?"
Hua Ning handed the box in his hand to Queen Meng: "This is a gift from Jiao Niang, and I asked me to bring it to the Queen's Wife."
In Empress Meng's heart, Ye Jiao was not only a good friend, but also a benefactor who saved her and her child. Naturally, she was extraordinary. At this moment, her smile is very real, and she reaches out and takes the wooden box.
Just as he was about to open it, he heard someone from the palace say respectfully outside the screen: "Niangniang, Director Du has sent a message, saying that it's from Dingzhou..."
"You go down first, didn't you see that Ben Gong and the eldest princess have something to say?" Empress Meng frowned suddenly, and there was some chill in her voice.
The usual Queen Meng has a particularly gentle and gentle temperament. Now that she is angry, how dare the palace servants dare to speak. After hurriedly accusing her, she stood aside and remained silent.
When Empress Meng looked at Hua Ning again, she was already smiling again, Hua Ning didn't care about it, she just looked at Xiao Jingming, the more she liked it, she touched her folded belly again, thinking whether it was a boy or a baby Girl, she loves it all.
As for what the palace servants said, Queen Meng did not ask again.
It was not until Hua Ning left that Queen Meng gently touched Jingming's face and said lightly, "Someone."
"The Queen Mother ordered."
Empress Meng withdrew her hand and picked up the wooden box that Ye Jiao had sent, and asked slowly, "Tell me, what did Du An say?"
The palace servant hurriedly said: "Director Du said that something happened in Dingzhou. The two princes and their relatives encountered a mountain bandit when they were traveling. The carriage fell off the cliff, and all their entourage were slaughtered. I'm afraid they can't be found."
Empress Meng thought to herself, this is indeed the case.
On the face she remained calm, but slowly opened the wooden box.
Inside, there is a piece of warm jade, which feels warm on the fingertips, carved with auspicious patterns, strung with red strings, and you can see that it is a good thing.
Empress Meng waved her hand to let the palace servants back down. She placed Yu next to Xiao Jingming, then leaned over and gently kissed her son's forehead.
After standing up, Empress Meng smiled, not her usual gentleness and euphemism, but a very happy look.
She took a deep breath, tried her best to lower her voice, and said softly: "Jing Ming, look, your father is a good husband, a good father, he can protect our mother and son."
Queen Meng guessed that those people were the hands of Chu Chengyun.
Even if Queen Meng wanted to do it herself, but Chu Chengyun did it, which made Queen Meng even more happy.
The man she loves is worthy of all her plans in her life.
And these days of family affairs have not attracted anyone's attention, even if someone snoops, they will keep silent, silence is golden.
Butler Qin was ready to pick up the dust for his owner after delivering the things.
Ten days later, the Qi Yun family's motorcade finally arrived in the capital. Before they could enter, they saw someone waiting at the entrance of Qi Mansion.
When the man saw the carriage coming, he trotted over, gave a deep salute and said with a smile, "The youngest is the housekeeper of Meng's house, and he sent invitations to Ershao Qi on the order of my lord."
The author has something to say: Xu Bao: Come on, endorse the book!
