After Qi Ming came back, Liu's family stopped worrying, and Ye Jiao often went to Liu's place to walk around.
When I came here today, as soon as I picked up the curtain, I saw Mr. Fang was there.
Ye Jiao looked left and right subconsciously, as if she was looking for something, Fang Shi smiled and said, "Stone didn't follow, he didn't memorize the book yesterday, so he slept a bit late, I didn't wake up today, so he can be more sleep."
Liu Shi loved her grandson. After hearing this, she couldn't help but stop turning the hand of the Buddha beads and said: "The stone is still small, so it's fine if you can't carry it on your back. You don't need to force him too much. All right, just teach slowly."
Fang naturally knew that Shishi didn't like to read. In fact, who likes reading for such an older child
When reading, you have to sit there and fill your head with things. No one likes to learn things. Always remember to be slow and forget quickly.
Smaller children are more lively and naturally love to play.
But Mrs. Fang knew that the sooner the book was memorized, the better. Although she was a daughter, her father always urged her to read and write when she was a child.
It's just that Mr. Fang was playful at that time and liked to act like a spoiled child. Fang's father thought that his daughter would not need to get a title, and he didn't push him too much.
But now Fang Shi is thinking that he always suffers from the fact that he read too few books when he was a child.
There are some truths, I know it, but I just can't remember it.
Fang Shi endured the distress, and supervised Xiao Shi Shi to hurry up and read it. It is useless to let her son act coquettishly and play tricks. It is useless to bear it. many.
However, Shitou followed his father's temper, and he used to follow his mother's. When Fang shi cried, he was honest, but later he became a little stubborn. He promised to do it. A small child already knows how to keep his promise. Yesterday, I stubbornly wanted to memorize the words again, so I went to bed late.
In fact, Mrs. Fang felt sorry for him, so she didn't let him wake up early this morning, and let her son sleep more.
But none of these things can be said to Mrs. Liu. People in the next generation will always be softer. Mrs. Fang was afraid that Mrs. Liu would be distressed. Endorsement and recognizing words are very well-behaved, mother don't have to worry."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Shi hesitated.
According to the way she looked at the stone before, she had an excessively lively temper, and liked to talk and play. It was too difficult for such a child to sit there and read.
But when Mr. Fang said this, it seemed that he had thought wrong...
Ye Jiao was sitting down with Xiao Su, listening to Fang Shi's words, and nodded unconsciously: "Yes, Xianggong also said that Shi Shi is a rare and good seedling, smart and eager to learn, and he will definitely have great prospects in the future."
When Liu Shi heard this, he stopped talking.
The last person Qi Yun said was Qi Ming, and Qi Ming's studies were also stared at by Qi Yun, so wouldn't this stare at the head of a county examination case.
After all, they are not wealthy families. They can't use their ancestors' shadow to obtain official positions. If they want to go further, they can only take scientific examinations. This road is already hard.
Stone's future depends on his own decision, and his children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren.
When Liu Shi thought of this, he stopped talking.
On the other hand, Mr. Fang thought of another thing: "Mother, it will be three days since Saburo returns. In a few days, should the list be released?"
Liu Shi has been remembering the days in his heart, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, it's coming soon, I'm not worried, Saburo has some knowledge, and he will definitely pass the test this time..." But when it came to this, Liu Shi suddenly stopped. He turned and said, "It's okay to fail the exam. He is still young, and a half-year-old child will have many opportunities in the future."
Mrs. Fang could hear that Mrs. Liu was comforting herself, but as her sister-in-law, she could not wipe out her ambition, so she said, "Don't worry, my third brother is outstanding in learning. No one from ten miles and eight villages can find such a smart one. If you don't win, I'm afraid no one will win." After speaking, Fang Shi gave Ye Jiao a wink.
Jiao Niang was looking left and right, waiting for Mrs. Liu to bring the dessert, and seeing the look Fang Shi gave her, she immediately said, "Yes, I can."
Liu Shi smiled, and it was considered that he knew the intentions of the two daughters-in-law, but he didn't mention the government exam again. After all, the more he talked, the more nervous he became, and it was easier to say something else.
And this topic naturally turned to Ye Jiao.
Fang Shi stretched out her hand and touched Ye Jiao's lower abdomen, her movements were very light, and her voice subconsciously slowed down: "Jiao Niang, it's been four months."
Ye Jiao calculated in her heart and nodded.
Liu Shi said, "You should be able to move your fetus in four months."
Little Ginseng doesn't quite understand: "Mother, what is fetal movement?"
Knowing her first encounter, Liu Shi was afraid that she didn't know this. She happened to tell her that she was afraid when she met: "It's just that the child moves in your stomach and you will feel it."
... move
Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was carrying a child, a small, growing little baby.
Ye Jiao had no idea about this before, she just felt that her stomach was a little bulging and a little heavy, probably because of the inconspicuous joy, and sometimes she even forgot that she had a little bit inside.
Now being reminded like this, the little ginseng realized that she was pregnant with a small life, and she would have a milk doll like a stone in the future.
Moreover, the child has to move in the stomach.
Ye Jiao suddenly became nervous, reached out and touched her lower abdomen, as if she was studying how she wanted to move.
Until she returned to the yard, Ye Jiao put her hands on her stomach and touched it.
This made Qi Yun, who was waiting for her in the room, look a little strange: "Jiao Niang, what are you touching?"
Ye Jiao sat at the table and didn't even look at Qi Yun, she just stared at her belly and muttered, "Mother said she'll move, I want to know when to move."
This answer made Qi Yun a little dumbfounded.
Although he is a man, he doesn't know much about women's fertility, but he also knows that this woman's fetal movement is not something he wants to move the child: "Little girl, don't worry, it will move in a while."
Ye Jiao still didn't look up at Qi Yun, she just stared at her lower abdomen silently and muttered, "I'm so lazy."
Hearing this, Qi Yun felt even more helpless, but he didn't say a word this time. Instead, he walked over and sat down beside Ye Jiao, and put his hand on the back of Ye Jiao's hand.
This made Ye Jiao look up at him: "The child doesn't move, it's useless for you to touch."
Qi Yun looked at her and said softly, "I don't really care about the child's movement. What I care about is that you haven't looked at me since you entered the door, Jiao Niang."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao looked at him strangely: "Xianggong, don't we see each other every day? It doesn't matter if we don't see it for a while."
It didn't matter, but Qi Yun was just not happy.
In front of Ye Jiao, he would not hide his feelings, and said bluntly: "Ordinary girls always look at me first, and now the child has not been born, so she only looks at the child and not me."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao blinked: "What does this mean?"
Qi Yun replied calmly, "I'm jealous."
Little ginseng doesn’t quite understand what jealousy means. For her, everything comes from her heart. When she was ginseng, she thought about how to become a person every day. Never been unhappy.
Naturally, he wouldn't know Qi Yun's inexplicable jealousy at the moment.
But Ye Jiao was only curious about the child for a while, but she was full of joy for Qi Yun. Even if she didn't understand why Qi Yun was making trouble now, the little ginseng obediently squeezed herself into his arms and stared at him with her head held high, her voice soft and soft. : "Okay, then I'll just look at you now, okay?"
Ye Jiao said this very sincerely, but Qi Yun could hear that his wife didn't understand what he was embarrassing about.
In fact, Erlang Qi's family didn't quite understand what was wrong with him, especially now that Ye Jiao's clear eyes were facing him, and any thoughts were thrown into the clouds.
He put his arms around Ye Jiao, Qi Yun was about to say something, but heard Xiao Su's voice from outside the door: "Second Young Lady, the water is ready, but do you want to carry it in now?"
Ye Jiao said to the outside: "Carry it in." Then she looked at Qi Yun again, "Master, why don't you stand by the tub and let me take a good look at you?"
In fact, what Little Ginseng said is sincere. Since he wants to see it himself, then he will see it himself. Anyway, Xianggong looks good, and he will feel better if he sees more.
But Qi Yun felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation to watch his daughter take a bath. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's watch it at night. I'll go to the study first, and I'll be back later." Then he left.
But Qi Yun obviously underestimated the attractiveness of his wife to him. Even if he sat in the study and opened the account book, he still couldn't see it.
When Ye Jiao was bathing, she always liked the tube top hanging on the screen.
That strap, thin, long, dangling...
"Second brother."
This sound called Qi Yun's sanity back, he immediately looked at the door, and saw Qi Ming was looking at him with a curious look.
Qi Yun only likes to let Jiao Niang look at himself, but he doesn't like other people's stares very much: "What are you looking at?"
After all, Qi Ming is still young, curious, and can't hide his words very well. He pointed his face with a finger: "Second brother, are you cold or hot? Why is your face a little red, do you want to invite the boss to come? see?"
This blushing, Langzhong can't cure it, only the lady can cure it.
It just takes several months to heal.
Qi Yun coughed lightly, and his expression returned to his usual calmness. He looked at Qi Ming and said, "What's the matter with me?"
Qi Ming took two steps forward and put a box in front of Qi Yun: "Just now, my righteous brother asked someone to send something, he gave it to you."
Qi Yun opened the box and saw a map inside.
And this map is different from ordinary maps. It is made of lambskin, and the outline on it is extraordinarily detailed. When you touch it, you can see that it is expensive.
The meaning of Chu Chengyun's sending this is obvious, that is, to tell Qi Yun, don't forget what he promised him before.
Qi Yun couldn't help but cocked the corner of his mouth.
Although this third young master is a bit exaggerated in terms of money, he will never forget the things he should remember.
Qi Yun put away the map as usual, and looked at Qi Ming: "I will thank him face to face when I meet the third son." After speaking, seeing Qi Ming still poking there motionless, Qi Yun Yi He raised his eyebrows, "Anything else?"
Qi Ming nodded and put another box on the table: "My righteous brother gave me this, but I can't tell if it's good or bad. Second brother, let me see."
This is a trivial matter, and Qi Yun naturally won't refuse, but just asked more: "Why don't you let others show it to you?"
In fact, Qi Ming has a lot of classmates and friends in the academy. Recently, he has been going out with them frequently to relax and relax. If there is something good for them, they will recognize it naturally, there is no need to find him.
Qi Ming looked at Qi Yun and said softly, "I'm afraid the identity of the righteous brother is unusual, so it's better to be careful."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun couldn't help but look at his third brother.
In his impression, the third brother has always had a straightforward temper. In his heart, apart from "I want to make the court better", "Reading makes me feel good", and I think things have never had too many twists and turns.
It's not bad to be a scholar with such a temperament, but if it is an official career, if no one protects it, it will definitely suffer.
Qi Yun originally thought that the third brother was still young, and that these things would be accumulated slowly in the future.
But listening to it now, Qi Ming seems to have realized something in his heart.
Qi Yun couldn't help but nodded and said, "How did you find out?"
Qi Ming looked at him with a serious face: "My righteous brother is afraid that he is a very rich family, but he doesn't want to be contaminated with the smell of copper, so he left home for a trip. He is really noble, and of course I can't reveal his whereabouts casually."
Qi Yun: ... when I didn't say it.
Withdrew his eyes and stopped looking at his unsatisfactory third brother, Qi Yun opened the box and saw an inkstone inside.
This inkstone looks deep purple in color and feels warm to the touch.
Taking it out, Qi Yun tapped lightly, and could hear the sound of Qingyuan.
With a slightly more serious expression, Qi Yun said softly, "This is a fine inkstone made of Duanxi stone. Looking at the appearance, I'm afraid it is very precious."
Hearing this, Qi Ming blinked: "Very precious?"
"Very valuable." It was so valuable that Qi Yun doubted that Fang Yantai could actually afford the money of a caravan.
Qi Ming hesitated for a moment: "Then, otherwise I will put it away and don't need it."
Qi Yun put the inkstone back into the box gently, and after hearing this, he immediately said: "No, you need to use it, and you have to use it every day, since it was given by others, it is for your use, don't let others down. It's just kindness."
Qi Ming used to listen to Qi Yun's words, so he nodded when he heard the words, and put away the inkstone.
Qi Yun looked at the back of Qi Ming's departure, thinking to himself, in this world, stupid people are really lucky.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Yun returned to her yard from the study. Ye Jiao had already changed her clothes and was sitting at the dining table waiting for him to have dinner.
It's just that Qi Yun was a little absent-minded about what he ate. He served Ye Jiao vegetables almost habitually, and looked at Ye Jiao and said, "Jiao Niang, have you changed the hair oil?"
Ye Jiao swallowed what was in her mouth before returning to him: "Change, this is from my mother, does it smell good?"
Smells good.
The sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus used to smell, but now the orchid has a faint smell, and it smells very good when you put it on your wife.
Ye Jiao, who had taken a bath, especially liked to let Qi Yun hug her to sleep, and this time was no exception.
Qi Yun almost exhausted all his efforts to close his eyes, don't be distracted.
Ye Jiao fell asleep one step ahead of him, but before the moon set, she woke up.
Suddenly, there was a slight touch on the lower abdomen, as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings, but this feeling was from the inside to the outside, which was very strange, causing Ye Jiao to open her eyes fiercely.
She was being hugged by Qi Yun at the moment, but when she woke up, Qi Yun did not wake up.
Qi Erlang used to slept lightly, sometimes even sleepy.
But now there is a little ginseng beside him, he sleeps very deeply every day, and sleeps soundly, but it has become a good night's sleep.
Now, even if Ye Jiao withdrew from his arms gently, Qi Yun didn't move.
Ye Jiao sat up propped up on the bed board, and did not touch it with her hands. She just sat there and quietly felt the touch.
The baby, who had been honest before, suddenly became lively. Although it was only lightly, it made Ye Jiao feel it very clearly.
She smiled involuntarily, but Ye Jiao touched her face inexplicably when she bent the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't understand why she was smiling.
But at this moment, when Ye Jiao temporarily recovered from the freshness of fetal movement, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
This fragrance is exceptionally different, not strong, but a little light, but the faint fragrance makes people unable to ignore it.
In particular, they were still using thick bed curtains, but this faint scent could penetrate the bed curtains and be smelled by Ye Jiao.
Ye Jiao's first reaction was to grab her hair and smell it. It felt different, and then she suddenly remembered—
Ye Jiao was actually very familiar with this taste.
She has been accompanied by this fragrance for thousands of years.
And what can appear this fragrance is something that can save lives at a critical moment.
She was stunned for a moment, then Ye Jiao suddenly covered her stomach, turned over Qi Yun with both hands and feet, carefully opened the bed curtain, put on her embroidered shoes and got out of bed.
She took the clothes on the side and put them on, Ye Jiao didn't care whether the clothes belonged to her or not, so she closed the door of the inner room and walked to the outer room.
Then she saw that, by the window, the moonlight filtered through the window lattice, like mercury pouring down the ground, illuminating a square wall table in front of the window.
On the wall table is Ye Jiao's precious stone sprout grass.
It's just that Ye Jiao couldn't take it seriously.
She stepped forward slowly, and when she came to the stone bud grass, she could see clearly that the three small fruits, which were originally wrapped in layers of green leaves, quietly loosened the clothes made of leaves, and shyly revealed the white and tender fruits. .
At this moment, three white rainbow fruits are hanging there pretty, and the fragrance is rich and refreshing.
