There was another happy event in the Qi family, and it didn't take long for it to spread all over the country.
For ordinary people, their usual entertainment is really not much.
Listening to the opera in Washer is something only people with spare money can do. Teahouses and bookstalls have to go to the city to catch up. Ordinary people just spend time at home, or gather together while doing laundry and turning over rice. Gossip in twos and threes.
As the Qi family is a wealthy family, their every move can attract attention and let others talk about it.
Especially recently, the good things of the Qi family have been one after another, one after another. Before, Qi Erlang's miraculous appearance in front of others was not mentioned, but Qi Sanlang won two cases later, and now Ye Jiao gave birth to Lin Lin. Son, whoever listens to it will sigh for a while.
Especially Yejia Village, because Ye Jiao lived in the same village with her before, she was more enthusiastic when she spoke.
When a few old wives gathered together to eat melon seeds and gossip, it was inevitable that they would talk about the Ye family.
"At that time, Ye Jiao didn't open the door without two doors. Who would have thought that there would be such a great fortune."
"No, I haven't heard of proposing a marriage to her before, so I've dragged it on until now, and I don't know what to think."
"Isn't it hard to guess? When she came back, we all looked at it for real. Her appearance and figure were all top-notch. The Ye family made it clear that they wanted to exchange her for money, not to sell her as a concubine. It's like giving people joy like this, and being able to live like this is a blessing for others."
"However, Ye's family is also her mother's family. She always doesn't come back to see it, and she can't justify it..."
"Come on, I heard from my family that the Ye family had troubles before, saying that the eldest son of his family came back, and after beating Ye Er, the family was divided, and besides, Ye Jiao got married. Come back and see what's going on."
What these old wives didn't see was that Sister Ye was taking Ye Bao to eat wontons at a stall on the side. These words were all heard by Sister Ye.
She took a deep breath and lowered her head, so that no one could recognize her, she just patted Ye Bao: "Eat quickly, or else you will miss Mr.'s morning class again."
Ye Bao was originally a temperament that couldn't settle down. He couldn't read books, and his head turned left and right.
But at this moment, he was extraordinarily honest, obediently ate the wontons in the bowl, and then raised his head to look at the second sister-in-law Ye: "Mother, what is a concubine?"
Ye Er's face changed, and she reached out and pinched him: "Don't listen to those people's nonsense, are you finished? Hurry up when you're done."
Ye Bao has also learned to be smart now.
It's just that Ye Bao is a child after all, he doesn't quite understand what happened, but compared to the ignorant boy who just wanted to eat egg custard every day, now he has listened to a few words of the school master, hazy feeling that before. Treating Ye Jiao by herself is not good.
Ye Jiao is an aunt and an elder. The master said that she should respect her elders.
But Ye Bao didn't know anything at that time. When he saw Ye Er's sister-in-law bullying her, he followed suit. No one said that he was wrong, so he intensified.
Now Ye Bao felt that something was wrong. What he did was different from what his husband taught him. Since the husband said what he said was right, taking what he did before was wrong.
But the mother is also an elder, and so is the father, neither of them said that they were wrong, so which one is right and which one is wrong
The half-eldest child Ye Bao suddenly fell into deep thinking about the importance of loyalty, filial piety and justice.
For a while, Ye Bao couldn't think clearly, so he didn't think about it anymore. After being sent to the place by the second sister-in-law Ye, he quickly trotted into the school with a schoolbag made of cloth on his back.
But Ye Er's sister-in-law was very worried when she returned.
She didn't feel any guilt towards Ye Jiao. After all, Ye Jiao was just an oil bottle in her opinion. She could throw it out without wasting food in her family, and she could get money in exchange. This was the most cost-effective thing.
As for whether Ye Jiao's life is good or not, the second sister-in-law of Ye feels at ease when she lives well, but she feels awkward when she lives well, but it's not too much of a hindrance.
What Ye Er's sister-in-law was thinking about was that the rice jar at home had bottomed out.
And Ye Erlang, his husband, recently took the money and went out, and he didn't know what to do.
Before Ye Dalang gave them a lot of money when they split up the family, if they were more careful, it would not be difficult for the remaining few years after paying off the debt.
But these days, Ye Erlang took out every three taels today and five taels tomorrow, and he took it out little by little.
Ersao Ye thought that he had lent it to someone, and had a fight with him. Later, she asked several of Ye Erlang's friends and they all said they had never borrowed it. Ersao Ye thought that Ye Erlang took it for business, but doing business always requires There is a storefront, no matter how bad it is, there should be a pick, and someone needs to be hired. Ye Dalang is also illiterate. Where to do business
Just as she was thinking about it, Ye Er's sister-in-law suddenly stopped.
Because she was tired of Ye Jiao in her heart, she had to hide when she encountered the Qi family's property. At this moment, in order to avoid the newly opened restaurant of the Qi family, she specially changed her way.
This time, the second sister-in-law Ye saw a casino that she had never seen before.
This casino looks at the facade of an old shop, and the curtains hanging in front of the door are a bit old.
But looking in through the gap in the curtain, Ye Er's sister-in-law saw someone.
Isn't it Ye Erlang who rolled the dice!
Ye Er's sister-in-law suddenly changed color, the basket in her hand fell straight to the ground, and the whole person was stunned.
When she regained her senses, she rushed into the casino with a distorted expression, and it didn't take long for the trouble to break out.
Not far away, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly. Tie Zi was originally sitting next to the driver. Seeing that the crowd was blocking him, he stood up and looked forward, and then faced the carriage behind him. Said: "Second young master, it seems that we can't walk ahead, let's change lanes."
Qi Yun frowned slightly in the car, and then slowly said: "Then Tiezi, you go down and buy some red jujube cakes at Fengfengzhai in front, and I won't go there."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
"Remember not to join in the fun, watch less and talk less, go and come back quickly."
"I see."
Tie Zi naturally knew that Qi Yun was concerned about the second young grandmother at home, and went out early today to check the shop, just to be able to go back before Ye Jiao woke up.
Naturally, he didn't delay too much, and he jumped off the frame with his hand.
It didn't take long for Tie Zi to come back with a paper bag wrapped in red jujube cake. Before the excitement over there was over, the Qi family's carriage took a different route and went around.
When he got home, Qi Yun didn't go back to the yard immediately, but went to the garden first.
In the garden, there are two tall ginkgo trees. At this time, the trees are full of golden yellow, and they look particularly warm in autumn.
Someone put a ladder up and folded one down, Qi Yun took it in his hand, and then went back to the yard.
Although it was only an autumn day, Ye Jiao's house had already placed a charcoal pot for heating, and when she entered, she only felt that her whole body was warm.
Ordinary people naturally feel hot, but Ye Jiao now needs to take care of her body and keep warm. It's better to be hot than to sit down and get sick when it's cold.
Qi Yun took off his shirt, wearing only a blue silk shirt, and walked in lightly.
The screen has been removed, a charcoal basin is placed in the center of the room, and the bed frame is wrapped in cloth. At a glance, Qi Yun can see Ye Jiao who is leaning on the bed and teasing the child.
In the box next to the bed were all kinds of toys that Ye Da had sent, and Ye Jiao was dangling back and forth with the little cloth tiger.
The little ginseng just woke up not long ago, and Xu Bao, who is beside him, can now open his eyes. He has big eyes, looking left and right, black and white. What can the little things respond to.
Reach out to touch here, pinch there, right as fun.
When Qi Yun came back, Ye Jiao was poking at the little guy's face, she immediately retracted her hand when she heard the movement, looked up and found that it was Qi Yun, and then smiled: "Master Xiang."
Qi Yun also smiled and looked at her, first inserted the branch of ginkgo in his hand into the vase, and said, "The ginkgo is yellow, I thought you won't be able to go out recently, so I folded one and put it in the vase. In the house, you can see it too."
Ye Jiao had been bored in the house for a while, and she was happy to see the vivid colors.
When her eyes moved to Qi Yun's face, Ye Jiao stretched out her hand to him, and Qi Yun moved her face towards him.
But before he came over, Ye Jiao seemed to think of something and reached out to push him.
This made Qi Yun a little strange: "Jiao Niang, what's wrong?"
Ye Jiao pursed her lips and muttered, "I've been wiping my body these days. I haven't taken a bath yet. I'm afraid my body will smell."
If she didn't mention it, Qi Yun didn't pay attention. When she mentioned it, Qi Yun leaned in and smelled it, and then said, "It only smells of milk and orchid."
The orchid scent is Ye Jiao's favorite hair oil scent, and the milk scent is self-evident when you look at Xu Bao who is moving around.
This is not what Qi Yun said to make her happy, it is true.
Ye Jiao is in good health. She can support herself and others. She recovers quickly, but now the milk taste is stronger.
Before Ye Jiao could react, the man tilted his head and pecked her face.
I smelled it carefully, and it was really a milky lady.
Ye Jiao turned her head, looked at Qi Yun, then leaned over and kissed Qi Yun on the lips.
This time, the kiss was firm, and there was a very loud "boo" sound, which made Xiao Su blushed on the side, and also caused Xiao Xubao, who couldn't see clearly, to giggle.
Qi Yun coughed lightly, her ears blushed, but she did not retreat, but let Ye Jiao raise her hand to hold his face, and look carefully: "Xianggong, you went out this morning?"
Now that Qi Yun's body is well maintained, he only looks at his face, except that he is slightly whiter than ordinary people, but there is no other difference.
But Ye Jiao gets along with him day and night. Even if they are sitting in confinement recently and they live in separate rooms, Qi Yun spends dressing time by Ye Jiao's side every day. She can naturally see Qi Yun's tiredness between her brows today, thinking about him. I'm afraid I'll wake up earlier than usual.
Qi Yun didn't hide it from him, and said softly: "The caravan has a letter back, there are a lot of things that I need to deal with, and there are still some things to decide on the shop, so I didn't let Steward Song come here, so I went early. Well, it just so happened that I came across the first batch of dim sum in Fengsheng Zhai and brought it back to you."
Hearing this, Tie Zi, who was standing outside, couldn't help but murmured in his heart. The things I said before were actually handled the same at any time. His own young master clearly went out early in the morning to bring snacks to the second young grandmother and to come back early. of.
Even putting these things together, Tie Zi felt that the red date cake was more important than the previous one.
It's just that these words can't be said clearly, otherwise the second young grandmother will definitely be worried, and it will be difficult to think of reasons for her second young master to change his way.
When Qi Yun handed the red date cake to Ye Jiao, the little ginseng's eyes lit up.
Qi Yun also knew that Xu was trying to confine the confinement recently. What Liu Shi asked people to make was either soup or water. Rao was Ye Jiao who liked to eat it, and the crucian carp soup and pig trotter soup all day long was boring, so he went to give it to him. She bought the red date cake and smiled when she gave it to her: "I went to ask Li Langzhong, you can eat this in your confinement, and it is also good for your body."
Ye Jiaozhu believed him, and without asking too much, he just squeezed a piece and put it in his mouth.
The red jujube cake tastes sweet and fragrant, with a strong jujube fragrance. It is not too sweet, but it has a fragrant milky taste. It is soft and close to the mouth, which makes Ye's accustomed mouth a lot more comfortable.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, sat on the side and watched her eat, helping her to wipe the debris from the corner of her mouth from time to time, and the smile on her face never went down.
After Ye Jiao finished eating a few pieces of red date cake, she noticed Qi Yun who had been staring at her.
The little ginseng was very calm. He took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, while his eyes looked at Qi Yun: "Xiang Gong, how long do I have to stay like this?"
Knowing that she was bored, Qi Yun took her hand and said slowly, "The confinement will be born in a few days, but Li Langzhong said that you will need another month or two to be good for your health. Well, it will be late autumn, and I can find a time to take you to our yard on the mountain."
Ye Jiao smiled when she heard the words, but quickly looked at Xiao Xubao who was still moving beside her: "What about him, take it with you?"
In fact, Qi Yun didn't include Xu Bao before he said this.
Now listening to Ye Jiao's reminder, Qi Yun also remembered that he still had a freshly born son to take care of, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's okay, my mother said before that she wanted to go out to relax, and now Saburo is going to study hard in the academy, Brother and sister-in-law went to Zhuangzi and couldn’t come back for a while, so we can take our mother to live in the courtyard on the mountain for a while, and it happened to bring Xu Bao.”
Ye Jiao nodded, and then the little ginseng's eyes swept to Yu Ruyi next to the vase, she blinked, and said softly, "Xianggong, the third son and you are a caravan, are you connected?"
Qi Yun nodded.
"When you look for it, you ask him if my elder brother is back. He always doesn't. I'm a little worried."
Qi Yun has been thinking about Ye Jiao lately, but he can't remember the things next to him. Now when Ye Jiao mentions it, he nods and remembers it in his heart.
Ye Jiao wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Xu Bao, who was originally honest, had stopped moving, but kept his mouth closed. The next moment, he opened his mouth and cried!
This cry frightened Qi Yun.
Usually Xu Bao doesn't like to cry, either sleeping or eating, or smiling with his eyes open, he is happy when he sees it.
Suddenly crying now, it caught Qi Yun a little by surprise.
The little ginseng picked him up calmly, and said while unbuttoning his body, "It's okay, I'm probably hungry."
Seeing this, Qi Yun lowered his eyes and did not go to see Ye Jiao to feed the child.
It's not that they haven't seen each other. On the contrary, there is nothing they haven't seen before. Not only have they seen each other, but they have touched it many times.
This is Qi Yun's consideration for himself, Ye Jiao has to support him for a while, he is the factor, then it's best not to look at it, otherwise it will be himself who will suffer in the end.
But at the moment when his eyes were lowered, he could still see the whiteness that the woman showed when she took off her clothes flashing by. What Qi Erlang thought was that the soup was probably really nourished, and whether it was good for the child, he didn't care. I know, anyway, raising my own wife makes the skin more and more congealed.
Probably to divert his attention, Qi Yun turned his head to look at the ginkgo tree and said, "There are many maple trees next to the yard on the mountain, and they are very red in autumn. It should be very beautiful. I will accompany you then. Look."
"Tsk." But when he was talking, Xiao Xubao's babble never stopped, and it sounded like he was very happy to eat.
Qi Yun's ears turned red, and he couldn't speak any longer. He could only silently look at Ginkgo and sigh, counting the days in his heart.
Unbeknownst to her, Ye Jiao was holding Xu Bao while staring at Qi Yun's red ears.
What the two couples thought in their hearts coincided unexpectedly—
It's been a tough few months.
