Chapter 142
Although Qi Yun did not tell Ye Pingrong that they had arrived in Beijing, Ye Pingrong's men were not new faces, and the men he sent to protect his brother-in-law were all close attendants of General Ye, who were naturally recognized in the capital.
Seeing them coming to the city, Ye Pingrong soon got the news.
Coincidentally, Princess Huanning was also there, so the two came to look for them together.
Ye Pingrong went to the house first and found that they had not settled in the house. It was only then that he arrived at the Qijia Wine Shop, and sure enough, he saw that the two had just got out of the carriage.
Ye Dalang is frank and straightforward. even though he usually has a flat temper, his face is hard, but when he sees Ye Jiao, he unconsciously smiles, strides forward and opens his arms: "Girl, you're here!"
Ye Pingrong did this because Ye Pingrong was still the soft little girl who would hide behind her, but now she is the mother of three children, and there are husbands next to her, and even the siblings of the younger siblings are not so close.
As a result, Huanning grabbed Ye Pingrong's arm and asked him to rein in, while his eyes looked at Ye Jiao and smiled and said, "Niang Niang, can the road be smooth?"
Ye Jiao first reached out her hand and gently shook Ye Pingrong's fingers. When she said hello, she and Huanning saluted each other and said with a smile: "smoothly, it was a little uncomfortable on the boat, but it soon got better."
Qi Yun also saw the ceremony with Ye Pingrong and Huanning, but did not talk much.
It is not that Qi Yun is still cold and indifferent in front of these two people, but that his brother-in-law is Ye Jiao's own brother, and Princess Huanning is also a member of her mother's family. all he has to do now is to stand well. They think they have countless words to say to their wives. You don't have to talk too much all the time.
Sure enough, Ye Pingrong asked a lot of questions to Ye Jiao, such as whether the body was well, whether the child was well, whether he was angry all the way, and so on, from the beginning of entering the door to walking into the vestibule.
In the end, Huanning glared at him: "all right, don't always ask, the noise makes people's ears hurt, you men talk, my wife and I have private things to say." With that, he took Ye Jiao on his arm and went to the backyard.
Ye Pingrong, on the other hand, looked eagerly at their backs and sat down until she was out of sight.
Qi Yun was watching, thinking that his brother-in-law was not only concerned about his sister, but that his eyes were clearly clinging to Huanning.
It would be a pleasure to come to this family.
Now that he remembered it, Qi Yun said, "I don't know when the eldest brother is going to prepare for the marriage." I can help, too. "
When it comes to manpower, Ye Pingrong naturally has no shortage.
But as a brother-in-law, it is also an obligation to help.
Ye Pingrong smiled when she mentioned this. "it won't be held until after the imperial examination and the selection of imperial concubines," Ye Pingrong said in a loud voice. "there are many things this year, and we have to try again. We still have to choose concubines later, and there is no rest. Your Majesty asked me to get married in May with joy."
Qi Yun could not help but calculate in his mind.
The March trial is a dead rule, which cannot be changed. At the end of March and the beginning of April, the list will be followed by the temple test, and then the horse patrol the street, and the banquet of Lu Ming will be lively for a while.
Then where is the time to choose an imperial concubine? thought it was directly connected to the marriage of the eldest princess.
I thought that in the past, both storytellers and other means should have been inspired by Queen Meng, but now it seems that our new emperor did not take the selection of the imperial concubine as a matter of business and paid no attention to it at all.
But in the final analysis, this is a royal family affair, which has nothing to do with ordinary people, so Qi Yun did not say any more, but said, "this shop still has something to do with the house. Thank you for your help."
Ye Pingrong waved her hand: "I just found a place for you, and you handled everything else well." As she said that, Ye Pingrong raised her eyes and glanced around, and the smile in her eyes was particularly real. "Erlang, you are a capable man, and I can rest assured that my sister follows you."
Qi Yun's head is really too smart to spread a wine room into a scale of half a street in such a mixed place as the capital.
Such a wise man, according to Ye Pingrong's idea, should go to the imperial court to serve. As an official and with Chu Chengyun's help, he must be able to soar into the sky.
But on second thought, officials are bound to fight, especially now that the government is unstable, and the whole family is buried with a little carelessness. It would be better to be leisurely now. What Ye Pingrong asks for is Ye Jiao's life, which couldn't be better now.
Qi Yun could see what Ye Pingrong seemed to be thinking, and did not disturb it, but got up to take a look at the boxes he had brought.
Because these days only stay in the store for one night, will move to the new house tomorrow. These boxes do not need to be opened, but they should also be handled with care and should not be touched indiscriminately.
It happened that Qi Ming was entering the door with six thoughts.
Qi Ming didn't see the scene of the Ye family reunion just now. He was reading the book carefully. By the time he got back to mind, there was no one outside.
When entering the door to see Ye Pingrong, Qi Ming smiled: "Brother Ye."
Ye Pingrong also got up to greet him, and then remembered another thing about his trip.
He took a letter out of his sleeve and handed it to him and said, "this is what the third Childe gave you. Remember not to show it to others. Burn it after reading it."
Qi Ming was a little confused and wanted to ask why, but soon he showed a sudden look.
It seems that the affairs of brother Yi's family are bad again. He has to be careful now. Naturally, he has to cooperate with him and protect brother Yi's well-being.
With a lot of house fighting plot in his head, Qi Ming took the letter solemnly and solemnly said to Ye Pingrong: "I also hope Brother Ye will take good care of my brother Ye." Then with a little bit of seriousness and six thoughts to find their own room.
Ye Pingrong looked confused, while Qi Yun had some understanding of his third brother's ideas. He patted Ye Pingrong and said, "you might as well do something. Saburo just likes to think about it."
This made Ye Pingrong a little worried: "he won't guess.". The identity of that one? " Chu Chengyun is let him hide it, although Chu Chengyun has a good temper, but it is not good if he is really discovered by Qi Ming.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, said with an insipid look, "it won't be."
"Why is Jiro so sure?"
"Saburo is very simple, don't worry."
Ye Pingrong:.
At this time, in the backyard, someone has led Ye Jiao and Huanning to the back hall, and after the crowd withdrew, Huanning immediately stood up and trotted towards the three children.
She likes children. When she was still a princess, Huanning had few younger brothers and sisters than herself. Even if there were, princes and princes would often involve their mothers and concubines. Huanning just looked at it and dared not come forward to get close.
Now that see three lovely dolls of their own family, naturally can't walk.
But in the end which hug made Huanning difficult.
Xubao is clever and loves to laugh, Ruyi is lively and cheerful, Ningbao …. It's also fun to lie down there.
I just sat next to the soft couch, touching this, that noisy, and having a lot of fun.
Ye Jiao walked over, sat on the other side, reached out and hugged Xu Bao, who had been ready to toss Ningbao, to her lap and asked Mrs. Meng to make milk cakes to feed him. "they know people now," she said with a smile. "if they call their names, they can say yes."
Huanning knew the names of the three dolls in Ye Pingrong early and was eager to try.
Shouting Xu Bao, Xu Bao immediately gave a "ah", crisp and crisp.
Yell Ruyi, Ruyi move your head, although you don't agree, you know how to look at the source of the sound, and then stretch out your hand and pull Huanning's sleeve to study.
Shouting Ningbao, the child just opened his eyes and saw that he was a stranger, immediately huddled together, rolled and rolled into the soft couch, avoided Huanning, and then stared cautiously at her, making it clear that Ningbao would roll away again if she spoke again.
Huanning was stupefied by this appearance. He laughed at the next moment and climbed up to catch him.
Ningbao is still young, sitting around, can not climb, see Huanning coming, can only continue to roll, fortunately, surrounded by soft quilts, rolling to the end will not hurt.
In the end, Huanning didn't want the little things to be tired, so he laughed so hard that he sat down again and said to Ye Jiao, "all three children in your family are smart enough, especially this one. It must be a bad guy who can't take it away. It's really smart."
Ye Jiao had never seen Ningbao like this before, but now she was very curious when she saw it, and even when Ningbao rolled up, she was still cheering on.
However, Xu Bao used to be a person who only listened to good words. As soon as Huanning's voice fell, he proudly straightened out his chest and said in a crisp voice, "Brother, clever!"
Huanning teased him: "what about the sister?"
"my sister is smart, too!"
"compared with Xubao?"
Xu Bao smiled and said, "Xu Bao is the smartest," and then followed, "read to your younger brother and sister."
Huanning immediately hugged Xubao, took a small gold ingot into his hand, and said it was a welcome gift for him.
For the dragon and Phoenix fetus, Huanning has also prepared two beautiful little gold locks, with jade inlaid in the middle, matching gold and jade, which means very good.
Ye Jiao was also accustomed to the way her Royal Highness Princess always sent gold and accepted it with a smile.
After making trouble for a while, the two little ones were sleepy, and Xubao touched his stomach and shouted that he was hungry. Ye Jiao asked Mrs. Mo to take them to the side where they should eat and sleep, while she and Huanning went to the table for tea.
Huanning drank tea, calmed down, and finally found a chance to get down to business: "Niang Niang, you make good arrangements for your family these days. After a quick break, you will come with me to the palace. The queen wants to see you."
