Mr. Meng came today, not entirely to see Ye Jiao, but more to see what kind of family the Qi family is.
Chu Chengyun was very excited after hearing the plan that Qi Yun said last time. He went to talk to Meng Shi that night, looking very interested.
But Chu Chengyun told Meng that it was not just for sharing, but also a habit.
Chu Chengyun had his own ideas in matters of the family and the country, and let him make up his mind in matters of the imperial court. Chu Chengyun would definitely be able to do things beautifully, otherwise he would not be able to earn the reputation of being wise among the literati of the imperial court.
However, in terms of daily expenses and interpersonal relationships, Chu Chengyun is not as thoughtful as his own princess.
Fortunately, Duan Wangye has always been able to accept this point calmly.
Although his mother and concubine died young, he has been raised in the name of the queen, and he is considered half a direct son. Because the queen has parents and children, no one would think that he could inherit the great lineage when Chu Chengyun was a child, which saved a lot of suspicion, but he He also occupied half of the reputation of the direct son, and others would not treat him harshly, but let Chu Chengyun live his life comfortably, and that's how he developed a presumptuous temper.
If it wasn't so reckless, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to grill the fish on the spot after the thousand carp pond was drained.
Meng Huirou was different. She grew up in a deep house compound, with strict family rules, but she was inevitably intrigued.
The housekeeper's ability is very good, and the forbearance method is also good. After marrying Chu Chengyun, he treats him wholeheartedly, considers him everywhere, is exquisite in all aspects, and considers Zhou Xiang.
Chu Chengyun cherishes his wife for being so sensible, because he knows that the price of being sensible early can only be done by those who have endured hardship, and Chu Chengyun also respects his wife and is willing to discuss everything with her.
The Meng family never cared about family affairs.
But on the other side, Meng's mind has a charter.
This time, as soon as Chu Chengyun came back and told her about the caravan, the Meng family knew that Erlang of the Qi family had plans.
But this has plans and what Chu Chengyun asked for can coexist, and Meng didn't say anything.
Just as Qi Yun thought, the most important thing for Duan Wangye and his wife is money, even if they see it through, they will agree.
It's just that the Meng family wanted to see what kind of family the Qi family was.
She has a good relationship with Ye Jiao, and has been to Qi's house, but they went there when there was a happy event in Qi's house, so she couldn't see the usual family style.
Today, Mrs. Meng wants to follow Chu Chengyun, just to see what kind of family the Qi family is.
Only when the family style is upright can you raise good children, no matter what the purpose is, at least the mind must be pure and kind.
Otherwise, my prince will be deceived sooner or later.
When he arrived at the Qi family, Mrs Meng nodded unconsciously in her heart.
The back house is peaceful, there is no concubine, and the house is peaceful here.
Although most of them are tenants' helpers, they are very disciplined in doing things, and compared to being a housewife, they are very good at educating people.
On the way from the front hall to Ye Jiao's yard, you can see the fragrance of flowers and plants, as well as the chicken coop and the melon shed, which is especially fireworks.
Children raised by such people will never be bad.
Meng shi walked slowly and smiled gently, and no one could see that her mind had turned several corners.
After entering Ye Jiao's yard and seeing Ye Jiao who was sitting at the table in the wing holding a bowl, Meng's smile became more sincere: "Jiao Niang, don't blame me for coming to see you so late."
Ye Jiao saw her coming in, but didn't get up, she just waved with a smile: "Huiniang, come here, eat a bowl of the wontons you just made." Then she motioned for Xiaosu to serve Mengshi a bowl.
Meng Shi was not hungry at all, and she had always had a low appetite for words, but she was willing to get close to Ye Jiao, and she was a guest at someone else's house, so she did not reject Ye Jiao's kindness.
However, when the wontons entered, Meng Shi's eyes widened slightly: "It's delicious."
She has eaten good food. Chuanlu, Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Xiangben gangs are all good cooks in the capital, and they can eat anything they want.
But this bowl of wontons is warm and fragrant, especially when it is slightly hot, the soup alone is intoxicating.
Ye Jiao said with a smile, "Eat more if it's delicious. Every time I see you, I'll just drop the dishes when they touch their mouths, and starve myself into a piece of paper."
Ye Jiao said this with sincerity and sincerity. Mrs. Fang did not eat it. She never persuaded Mrs. Fang, because she knew that her sister-in-law wanted to lose weight. She even sometimes saw good-looking dim sum in Liu's yard. She would not eat too much even if she stretched out her hand, which made Shi Fang uncomfortable.
But Meng Shi was different. She was tall and slender.
If it is said that Ye Jiao eats dry and does not gain weight, then Meng Shi is thin and a little distressing.
Meng Shi stirred the bowl with a spoon, smiled, and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to Jiao Niang."
But in her heart, Mrs. Meng knew that she would not gain weight. She was given medicine a few years ago, and her body deteriorated. This time she went out to Beijing again, and her body was very weak. Even if she raised some meat, such a situation Toss can also toss.
However, Mrs. Meng would not talk about these things. When she used up a bowl of wontons, she threw away the spoon.
Covering the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Meng shi said with a smile, "I went to see Chunlan two days ago. She is younger than yours, but her belly is bigger than yours."
Ye Jiao was drinking the soup when she heard the words and said, "How is Chunlan?"
"Okay, just to remember you, but she doesn't dare to go out, so be careful." Meng Shi couldn't help but cover her lips and smile.
Dong shi is a simple-minded person, but she was more reckless in the past, but she was very cautious this time, but she was a lot more restrained.
Seeing Ye Jiao throwing down the bowl, Meng Shi smiled and said, "I didn't come to disturb you when I thought that you were still sitting still, but now that you are in good health, I feel at ease."
Ye Jiao finished her three bowls of wontons. The bowl she used was small, but she felt full after three bowls.
After listening to Meng Shi's words, Ye Jiao gently touched her lower abdomen and said, "He's very good."
Meng Shi looked envious, but didn't show it on his face, just said warmly: "Can you name it?"
Only then did Ye Jiao think of naming things, but she never took these things to heart: "If there is a husband, let him think about it."
Seeing her completely trusting appearance, Meng shi unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
Seeing that it was still early, Chu Chengyun would not have finished talking with Qi Yun so quickly, so Mr. Meng taught Ye Jiao to beat the ears.
Ye Jiao didn't know anything about these boudoir affairs, and Mrs. Meng didn't do those complicated and troublesome things with her.
The movement of her hands was slow, while Meng shi looked at Ye Jiao's progress and said, "Jiao Niang did a great job."
However, Ye Jiao could see that she was not as good-looking as Meng's, but the biggest advantage of little ginseng was that she was willing to learn, and she was even very keen to learn.
Meng shi also raised the corners of her mouth and sat beside Ye Jiao, the atmosphere was calm.
When Ye Jiao was looking at her work after finishing the tassels, Mrs. Meng took out a square box from her sleeve and put it in front of Ye Jiao: "This is a gift for you, which happens to be matched with tassels."
Ye Jiao blinked, thinking, why does anyone come and give me something
Last time, Mrs. Dong came to deliver the book, and now Mrs. Meng came and wanted to deliver it again, which made the little ginseng take it to heart, thinking that when she went to see them in the future, she could not go empty-handed.
When Ye Jiao opened the box, she saw a warm jade stone inside.
The whole body is moist and round, and when you pick it up and put it in your hand, it just feels extra warm.
When she turned it over, Ye Jiao saw a faint purple color on the jade.
This color of jade made Ye Jiao look familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen it, and fell into deep thought for a while.
Ye Jiao's silent appearance made Meng think that she didn't know this purple jade, so she said softly: "This kind of purple jade is said to be produced in the country of Bofu, it looks like ordinary jade, but it is more expensive than ordinary jade. Warm up."
"Warm?" The little ginseng shifted its gaze to Meng Shi, a little curious.
Meng Shi nodded, stretched out her plain white palm, and gently clasped Ye Jiao's hand, letting her five fingers close together to hold the jade tightly.
After a while, I felt a warm feeling in my palm.
Ye Jiao was a little surprised, she couldn't help but spread out her hand to look, and found that Ziyu was still Ziyu, but the temperature on it did not dissipate immediately, but instead lasted for a while.
It's great to warm your hands.
Seeing that she liked it, Meng Shi smiled and said, "It is said that it is good for the body to carry it for a long time, but this piece of mine sees Young Master Zi, you can take it and use it as a hand warmer."
Ye Jiao said to Meng Shi, "Since it's good for your body, why don't you keep it yourself?"
Meng Shi was stunned for a moment: "Jiao Niang, why did you say this?"
"You are not in good health. Since there are things that are good for your body, you should use them tightly." Ye Jiao reached out and gently grasped Meng's wrist.
In fact, Ye Jiao knew that Meng Shi was weak the first time he saw her.
But unlike her husband, Qi Yun's emptiness was brought out of her mother's womb. She was born weak, so she couldn't be in a hurry to nourish it. She had to come a little bit, but Meng's emptiness was acquired. Ye Jiao didn't know why it was like this, but Meng Ye Jiao won't ask if she doesn't say it herself.
But Ye Jiao's words made Meng's fingertips tremble.
She didn't know that Ye Jiao could see the clue just by holding her wrist. The first reaction of Meng Shi, who was already nervous and used to it, was that this person knew the secret that she had been hiding
This is something that only you know.
But when she raised her head to meet Ye Jiao's pure clear eyes, the guard she had just now collapsed in an instant.
Meng shi said to herself in her heart, Jiao Niang has always been so simple, otherwise she would not have said it directly, but she was afraid of her concerns, which she should not have.
Such a good woman, she is pure and kind, and she is unreasonably suspicious of her, which is really sorry for Ye Jiao's sincerity.
Probably every deep-hearted person prefers a pure temper. Meng Shi quickly smiled and said softly: "My body is already ruined, and I can't make it up. Why waste good things."
Ye Jiao looked at her and pursed her lips.
She didn't get along with the Meng family for a long time, and was far less close than she was with the Dong family, but the villain ginseng always followed her heart.
Moreover, in Ye Jiao's opinion, this is not an incurable disease, it is much easier to treat than her husband's.
Ye Jiao looked left and right, and saw the stone sprout grass.
Her eyes lit up, she walked over, and pinched a leaf from the stone bud grass.
She casually took a brocade bag and put it in it, and hung her own tassels on it. Ye Jiao handed the brocade bag to Mrs. Meng: "I'll take this as a gift in return, and I hope Madam Hui is in good health."
Because the stone sprouts were placed on the wall table by the window, and their back was turned to Meng Shi, Meng Shi could not see what was in the brocade bag.
I took it over and pinched it, the leaves inside were really too small, and it just felt like an empty bag to the touch.
Mr. Meng looked at the embroiderers above, and they were very good, and the two auspicious clouds were also very lucky.
Coincidentally, Ye Jiao grabbed a good-quality Su embroidered brocade bag, which was also suitable to give as a gift.
Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Meng, who is used to seeing good things, this bag is nothing, but Mr. Meng values the sincerity in it.
She didn't care what kind of embroidery or satin, only the tassels that Ye Jiao had beaten by herself could catch Meng's eyes.
She took it with a smile and said softly, "Thank you, Jiao Niang."
Ye Jiao told her: "Take it, don't lose it."
The meaning of the little ginseng is to let Mrs. Meng carry it with her, which is good for her body, but Mrs. Meng feels that this is Ye Jiao's sincerity, so she will keep it in her heart.
Putting the brocade bag in her arms, Meng Shi nodded gently: "I will definitely take it with me, and I won't forget it."
Seeing that it was almost time, Meng shi got up and said goodbye, but she hadn't seen Chu Chengyun when she went to the front hall, she was not in a hurry, she went out the door and walked to the carriage not far away.
The mama who was waiting by Meng's side looked extremely anxious, but Meng's went in but didn't allow herself to follow. The mama was waiting in the carriage. When she saw Meng's return, she hurriedly went down to help her.
Meng's face at the moment lost the warmth in front of Ye Jiao, it was completely reserved and precious belonging to everyone's women, and her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent.
After waiting for the carriage, Mrs. Meng took out the brocade bag that Ye Jiao had given her from her arms, looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Mammy was a little worried: "Master, where did this come from? Don't take things from outside, be careful that it's not good for your health."
Meng Shi restrained his smile and said lightly: "My body, after being poured into a bowl of medicine by my mother, has never been better. How bad can it be?"
As soon as these words came out, there was some distress in the eyes of the mama.
The prince was only under the name of the queen, not the queen herself. The queen was especially jealous when he saw that he was famous, but instead of attacking the prince, he sparred with his own princess.
A bowl of medicine has made the princess seriously ill. Now, not to mention the offspring, I am afraid that even her body will be broken.
It's just that Mrs. Meng didn't look very sad, she was still indifferent, and she touched the brocade bag gently: "Jiao Niang has a good heart, she is a pure and kind heart that is rare in this world. I know her, believe her, and be honest. Treat others, not only for others, but for yourself and Judas. Besides, I haven’t trusted anyone for a long time.”
Mammy stopped talking, just knelt quietly beside Meng Shi, lowered her eyes, and sighed softly.
The little ginseng in the yard stared at the purple jade for a long time, and finally remembered where he had seen it.
The last time I was watching lanterns, Qi Yun bought one for himself.
That piece is full of purple, much more purple than this piece.
Ye Jiao stretched out her hand and shook it, and sure enough, there was warmth in her palm.
She smiled, and when she saw a hole on it, she thought about the method that Meng Shi taught her during the day, and carefully made a fringe and hung it on the top.
It was just the first time Ye Jiao did it by herself, and the spikes were not very good-looking and were a little crooked.
When Qi Yun came back, he saw Ye Jiao holding an ugly tassels and a piece of purple jade that looked familiar.
"What is this? It looks a bit unique." Qi Yun didn't directly say it was ugly, but just asked with a smile.
Ye Jiao excitedly said to him, "This is what Huiniang taught me to play the tassels, I just learned it."
Qi Yun changed his attitude almost instantly: "You learned it so quickly? Jiao Niang is really smart."
Ye Jiao nodded smugly, and then handed the jade to Qi Yun: "I tried it just now, and it's warm when you hold it. Let me give it to you. It's also good to have a warm hand." The voice paused, "It's fine without it. , Actually, I don't look good at this ear, but no one can see it when you put it in your arms."
As for the things that Ye Jiao sent, Qi Yun always refused to accept anyone who came.
On the second day, Qi Erlang actually walked out the door with a crooked fringe, looking very calm.
In less than a day, everyone in the whole family knew that the second young grandmother gave the second young master tassels to hang up.
Although the fight was not good, it is good to have this heart, Liu Shi was also happy to hear it, and hurriedly instructed Mrs. Liu to make a bowl of milk and stewed eggs for Ye Jiao to send.
This made Ye Jiao feel a little bored: "Why did they know that I did it so quickly?" Obviously, no one knew about it except her husband.
Xiao Su stood aside and looked at the sky.
The second young master told the first young master, and the first young master told the first young grandma.
When the eldest young lady knows, it means that everyone knows...
Qi Yun didn't know about this, but when he saw his eldest brother, he heard Qi Zhao say that the fringe is not good-looking, so he replied: "This is the lady's intention, it is more important than a thousand pieces of gold."
The person next to him didn't say anything. Who knew that when he came back from the study, he saw many kind smiles.
After asking for a while, he knew the reason, and Qi Yun coughed lightly.
Not embarrassed, but rather a smile.
Steward Song on the side was already happy today. The caravan’s affairs were resolved and they could set off immediately. The Jinzun wine had a name, and it was a real income. Now seeing Qi Yun happy, Steward Song was also happy to hold it. He said, "Congratulations to the young master."
Qi Yun looked at him: "Why is there any joy?"
Steward Song replied immediately: "Wealth is prosperous, and the case is raised. Isn't this a happy event?"
Qi Yun smiled when he heard the words, his steps were slow, and his voice was light: "It is inevitable to raise a case with eyebrows. As for whether the fortune is prosperous or not, it depends on the planning and providence."
Manager Song nodded, knowing that he was talking about the caravan.
But Qi Yun didn't wait for him to speak and continued: "Only one point, the matter that the third son took the money should not be publicized. After the caravan goes out, every account must be clear, and the things that the third son instructed must be the same. Do it well. Even if you make less money, or even no money, you need to prepare all the pictures and books you should bring.”
Steward Song stopped asking the reason at this moment, and his young master did as he said, answered immediately, and then left.
Before Qi Yun went back to the yard, he paused, and went to the small kitchen to carry a plate of taro flour balls.
When she entered the door, she saw Ye Jiao leaning on the soft couch, pulling a bunch of tassels on the couch.
Seeing him come back, Ye Jiao got up and walked over, and stayed still in Qi Yun's arms.
Qi Yun naturally knew what she was thinking, smiled, put the food box on the table, opened it with one hand, but did not speak.
Sure enough, Ye Jiao smelled the smell of taro dumplings, and a smile appeared on her face.
Tiptoe kissed Qi Yun, sat down at the table, picked up one and put it in his mouth.
Qi Yun was sitting next to her, watching her eat, feeding him water and handkerchiefs from time to time, which was very gentle.
After Ye Jiao finished eating, he said, "This is what you want, I like it."
Ye Jiao glanced at him, and the little ginseng had already eaten the ear of the ear with the taro ball in her stomach, but she didn't remember it at all: "What do you like?"
Qi Yun's voice paused, and then slowly said, "I like you."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Su silently exited the inner room and closed the door, very informed.
Ye Jiao didn't show any signs of blushing. Instead, she put her hand on Qi Yun's neck and replied softly, "I also like Xiang Gong."
Qi Yun held her gently and felt Ye Jiao's stomach move again.
But Qi Yun didn't care this time, and gently kissed Ye Jiao's mouth.
As for the child... Qi Yun squinted his eyes, he wasn't born yet, and he was waiting to greet Jiao Niang.
In the past few months, Qi Yun has been quiet, and dared not touch or move in front of his wife, of course not now, but he couldn't eat dinner, and desserts were always okay.
Ye Jiao never refused Qi Yun's closeness, and was even very keen.
Tightening her arms, she pulled the man and bent towards her. The two of them got closer. She seemed to feel tired on tiptoe, and her lips parted when she stood firm.
In front of her was the man's collarbone protruding from the placket. She took a look and bit it lightly.
This time, Qi Yun pursed his lips and buried his face in the woman's neck.
In no time.
"Little girl, your tube top seems to be smaller and tight."
"Wait for me to touch."
"… "
"It's too small. Let's make a new one next time."
"... Jiao Niang, it's still light, put on your clothes first."
"Oh."
But just as the two of you were fighting, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside.
Ye Jiao couldn't help letting go of Qi Yun, but she didn't see Qi Yun's sudden indifference, she just pushed open the window and said to the outside, "Xiao Su, what's going on outside?"
Xiao Su has been guarding the door, naturally she doesn't know.
But before she could speak, someone shouted loudly from outside: "The good news is here, and the third young master has ordered the case again! The first name of the government test!"
