The day the drugstore opened, Ye Jiao woke up early.
Qi Yun had already woken up. He thought he would be able to stay warm with his wife for a while, but Ye Jiao was so hot, so Qi Yun also got up after getting dressed.
"Xiang Gong, please sleep a little longer." Ye Jiao reached out and tried to push him back onto the bed.
In normal times, Qi Yun had already fallen down, dragged Ye Jiao down by the way, and only got up after dawdling.
It's just that today is different. Qi Yun stood up, kissed the woman's forehead gently, and said, "Aren't you going to see the pharmacy open? I got up earlier so that I can help you pick your clothes and thrush."
Ye Jiao heard the words, first smiled and licked Qi Yun's lower lip, and then released him: "I'll bring hot water, you don't want to go out casually, it's cold in the morning, you have to be more careful."
Qi Yun nodded in response, went to get a fur coat and wrapped her up before letting her out.
Although this fur coat is a men's style, it has an excellent effect on resisting the harsh and cold winds in the morning. In her own yard, the fur coat can wrap Ye Jiao tightly, and she often wears it like this when she goes out in the morning.
There was hot water in the small kitchen, and Xiao Su was ready when she heard the movement. When Ye Jiao came, the water in the basin was already at the right temperature.
Ye Jiao reached out and touched it, then smiled at Xiao Su: "I'm busy today, you go to eat first."
Xiao Su responded and helped Ye Jiao to carry the water, but immediately returned to the small kitchen, ready to stare at the meat buns in the cage when they were ready before going to eat.
Ye Jiao, on the other hand, finished washing up with Qi Yun, neatly combed her hair into a bun, put a jade hairpin on her hairpin, then sat obediently on the chair and raised her face to Qi Yun.
Qi Yun picked up the thrush stone, rested the other hand on Ye Jiao's chin and lifted it slightly, and focused on drawing two dark eyebrows for her.
Ye Jiao always closed her eyes before, for fear that staring at Qi Yun with her eyes wide open would make him nervous, but now that Qi Yun was already familiar with it, Ye Jiao opened her eyes to look at him.
Qi Yun likes to look at herself, and the little ginseng knows this, but Ye Jiao also likes to look at him.
Especially when Qi Yun concentrates on his work, whether it is reading accounts or thrush, when this person concentrates, he looks very good.
Qi Yun felt that Ye Jiao was looking at her, so she couldn't help but snorted, with a smile on her face: "What is Jiao Niang looking at me?"
Ye Jiao didn't move, for fear that her eyebrows would be broken, but her soft lips hummed gently: "Look at you."
Qi Yun drew the other side for her again, with a slow voice: "What do you see?"
"Xianggong's eyes are good-looking and will shine."
Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao was complimenting him, but he still laughed and teased her: "Shine? It's the cat's eyes that shine."
Originally it was just a joke, but Ye Jiao replied very seriously: "The cat is not as beautiful as you, really."
The little ginseng swears, not to mention cats, I have seen so many shaped monsters, and I have seen many people, but my husband is the most beautiful.
Thinking of this, Ye Jiao couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Qi Yun took the thrush stone and was scrutinizing the two sides to see that they were different, but Ye Jiao smiled and her eyebrows were curved, so she couldn't take a closer look.
The man lightly squeezed her face with his hands in a funny way. It felt good, and he squeezed it twice more, and said, "What are you laughing at again?"
Ye Jiao tilted her head, put her face in his palm, and said with a smile, "It's great to be able to marry you."
Hearing this, Qi Yun couldn't help but bent down slightly and wrapped his hands around her, looked down at Ye Jiao, and said softly, "It's great to marry you."
For a while, they looked at each other and smiled, like glue, but let Xiao Su at the door either go in or retreat. He could only look at Tie Zi, who was also poking there, and decided not to go in first.
In case of disturbing them, the young mistress can say it, but the bad-tempered second young master is afraid that he will try to attack Xiaohei again.
In addition to being docile in front of the second young grandmother, the second young master of his own has never treated others with tenderness. Xiaosu wants to make the bald big cock live a few more days.
The two can only sigh in their hearts, sometimes the owner is too sweet and it is quite confusing.
After breakfast was over, Ye Jiao was going to take Xiao Su to the pharmacy.
Qi Yun didn't say whether to go or not, just to let Ye Jiao not have to worry about him, if he really went, someone would naturally follow.
When Ye Jiao got in the car, she told the driver: "Take me there first, then come back and wait for the husband."
Xiaosu heard the words and asked in a low voice, "Second Young Master, the Second Young Master didn't say that he was coming. What if we wanted to come back? The Second Young Master asked me to find a car to take you when I went out."
"There's a car in Chunlan, they'll just take a trip. I don't worry about an ordinary carriage. My house has a better windshield, and there are shelters next to it. The husband's body is the most important thing." Ye Jiao said, before supporting With Xiaosu's hand, he got into the car.
Now that Ye Jiao has said something, Xiao Su is relieved.
After all, the second young master listens to the second young grandma the most.
In the food box Xiaosu is carrying, there are warm meat buns, the size of two bites, the skin is soft, the meat filling is firm, and there will not be too much oil leaking to avoid staining the dress, but it is very fragrant.
Ye Jiao ate two in a row, then picked up another and shoved it into Xiao Su's hand. After savoring the taste, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of meat is this?"
Xiao Su took it and replied with a smile, "It's donkey meat. We got a piece of it in our yard. The young master ordered to make some stuffing for the second young lady to prepare, and then go back to cook the shabu-shabu for the rest of the night."
Ye Jiao nodded again and again, and she took another one and stuffed it into her mouth with satisfaction.
When it was time for Qi's pharmacy, it wasn't time to open the auspicious time, but there was already a lot of excitement in the yard.
Many family members of the merchants who were invited have already arrived early. Mrs. Dong is a long-sleeved and good dancer, and among these ladies, she can be regarded as a duck to water.
Seeing that Ye Jiao's carriage had arrived, Mr. Dong hurried up to meet him.
As soon as Ye Jiao got off the carriage, she was held by Dong's hand. Ye Jiao looked up at her and couldn't help laughing: "Chunlan, you are very beautiful today."
Everyone likes to be complimented, not to mention Ye Jiao's temperament is accustomed to not lying, Dong Shi immediately smiled brightly: "Today is the reopening of the shop, and wearing brighter clothes is also festive."
Qi Yun also said this to Ye Jiao in the morning, and the little ginseng chose a set of drab clothes, which matched Dong's begonia red.
When the two entered the back house, they saw that many people were already sitting in the hall.
Most of Ye Jiao didn't know each other, but she didn't have to say hello to anyone, because all the way she walked, others took the initiative to talk to her.
Often the communication between the women in the back house is mostly determined by the relationship of the husband's family.
Most of Dong's ability to invite them is not because of Dong's face, but because this pharmacy is the Qi's pharmacy.
Maybe a few months ago, the Qi family didn't have such a big face, but now the Qi family has become the most in-demand merchant in the town, not to mention that the Qi family wine shop almost occupies half of the town, just to say this. The pharmacy can actually swallow the storefronts on both sides. This is not an ordinary handwriting.
Moreover, the Sun Family Qianzhuang sent congratulatory gifts early, and the sign of goodwill was very obvious, and the others naturally moved to look at the wind.
Before Ye Jiao came, they knew that Erlang's wife was coming.
Although there are still doubts about whether Erlang of the Qi family is terminally ill, but in business affairs, the Qi family is in short supply now, and others will naturally be more harmonious. Multiple enemies are good.
So Ye Jiao was already held up before she showed up, and she was greeted with smiling faces as soon as she arrived.
The hairpin that praises Ye Jiao is beautiful, and the makeup that praises Ye Jiao is beautiful.
The words are all very nice, but if you have the heart to praise others, the words are not heavy.
On the side, Mrs. Dong actively helped Ye Jiao, so that she would not make progress without recognizing people, but Ye Jiao was very comfortable. Yun also kept telling her not to worry about anything, just have fun, Ye Jiao just thought it was a fun at the moment.
She gave birth to a hibiscus face, and the dress was carefully selected by Liu's, naturally it was extravagant, and it was obvious at a glance.
The wives of these merchants also know a lot of people, but Ye Jiao made them take a higher look and smile more.
When Ye Jiao sat down, she realized that there was an acquaintance beside her.
"It's you?" Ye Jiao looked at the gentle woman in surprise. She clearly remembered that this person was the lady of the young master who was in front of the stall.
Meng shi looked at her with a smile and said, "Mrs. Qi, we meet again."
Sitting on the other side of Ye Jiao, Mrs Dong said softly, "She is the proprietress of the newly opened Mengjia pharmacy in the city."
Being able to open a pharmacy in the city is usually a matter of being rich or expensive. Perhaps in Duan Wang Chu Chengyun's view, it is just a storefront with silver plates, but for ordinary people, those who can afford that kind of money will not be ordinary people.
This time the pharmacy opened, Mr. Meng came over to congratulate him, Mr. Dong naturally greeted him with a smile.
Ye Jiao smiled at her: "Call me Jiao Niang."
Meng Shi nodded gently: "Jiao Niang, my small character Hui Rou, call me Hui Niang."
Usually, there are not many people who exchange small characters first, but the Meng family is willing to make friends, and Ye Jiao doesn't care about this, and changes names when they come and go.
Dong Shi is the master today, so she has to be busy with a lot of things, so she can't always be by Ye Jiao's side.
The little ginseng didn't delay her business. After talking to Dong Shi, she smiled and asked her to greet the others.
Ye Jiao focused on picking up the dessert on the table and slowly put it in her mouth.
Meng Shi saw her focus on eating, and there was a smile in her eyes.
She grew up in the capital city since she was a child. When she was in the boudoir, her father was the prime minister of the court, married, and her husband was Prince Duan. It was considered that she was sent from this deep house to that compound, and she had seen countless things.
Meng Shi is smart, has a high wrist, and can carry it clearly, which is how he can stabilize his position beside Duan Wang. In the same way, Mrs. Meng also has a pair of eyes that can see people. Although she doesn't talk much with Ye Jiao, she can see that this girl is a careless girl.
Before she could let her prince get a fan, she could see that she was pure and kind.
The more thoughtful a person is, the more they like to get along with a transparent mind, which is the case with the Meng family.
She poured a cup of tea for Ye Jiao and handed it over, making the maid who followed her widen her eyes.
In addition to pouring tea for the prince, when did the princess of her own do this for others
But Meng Shi felt that there was nothing, she looked at Ye Jiao and smiled: "Jiao Niang, I think your hairpin looks very good."
Most of the women in the house usually use pearl hairpin rings as their opening remarks.
But the little ginseng has little research on these: "It was sent by Xianggong, and his vision is never wrong."
Hearing her compliment Qi Yun, Meng shi couldn't help but look outside.
The reason why I came today was not only because Mrs. Meng wanted to come out for a walk, but also because Mrs. Meng knew that the girl in front of her was Ye Pingrong's younger sister.
Ye Pingrong is a talented person. Mrs. Meng heard from her father Meng Cheng that Ye Pingrong was brave in battle. The general who led the troops this time praised him, which basically paved the way for his promotion.
The reason why he was sent to Duan Wang to be a tiju was actually because the emperor had the intention to cultivate his third son, Chu Chengyun, and this helped him find a person who could be a trusted confidant.
Chu Chengyun has no intention of competing for the throne now, so naturally he will not take it to heart, but as his princess, Meng Shi has to think more.
If Chu Chengyun only wanted to be the idle prince, Mrs Meng would be willing to accompany him to travel all over the world.
But if one day Chu Chengyun is going to compete for the throne, Meng Shi will also consider it carefully for him.
Since Ye Pingrong was the confidant candidate, Mr. Meng had to give him some benefits to win over his heart.
Before giving him the address of Ye's house, and now bringing him to see his little sister, it was the benefit of the Meng family who borrowed from Chu Chengyun's words.
It's just that according to the news that Meng Shi got, Ye Jiao was carried into the Qi family as Mrs. Chongxi, and life was bound to be difficult.
But listen now, why doesn't it seem like a bad day
Ye Jiao didn't stretch out her hand after eating a piece of dim sum. After all, today was mainly for chatting, and the dim sum was secondary. Although it was considered delicious, she choked a little when it was cold.
She is used to eating hot snacks at Qi's house, and it is indeed a bit unaccustomed to suddenly let her eat this kind of hard food.
The little ginseng, whose mouth was raised, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took a sip from the tea cup, and then naturally picked up the teapot, refilled it for himself, and poured a new cup of tea for Meng Shi.
At this time, someone smiled at Ye Jiao and said, "Mrs. Qi is well-groomed, her makeup is also beautiful, and the two distant mountain eyebrows are very well drawn."
It is often easy to get closer when discussing makeup. Meng Shi also saw that Ye Jiao's eyebrows were well drawn. She is also a woman, and it is natural to love beauty, so she asked curiously: "Jiao Niang, what did you use to draw this? Qingdai Or Luo Zidai?"
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't know what it was used for. Usually, my husband gave me thrush. I'll ask him when I go back."
For a while, everyone was silent for a moment.
It's not that they are jealous of Ye Jiao. The harmony between husband and wife has nothing to do with them. It's just that they all have a comparison in their hearts.
Meng Shi did not speak, but felt that the rumors were unbelievable.
The lord never drew my eyebrows...
At this time, in the front yard, all the wealthy businessmen did not know that their wives were muttering to themselves in their hearts. They all smiled and greeted each other, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
At this time, there was the sound of hooves outside.
Fang Li, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, walked to the door and saw a tall man coming with a horse.
Fang Li looked at him, thinking about making money with anger, he stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Is the strong man here to find someone?"
Ye Pingrong bowed his hands: "I am the guard of the Meng family pharmacy in the city, and I came to find my master."
