Chapter 168
Ye Jiao still cares about the Wen family.
It is not more concerned about the rise or fall of his family, after all, the people that little ginseng cares about are those around them, and they do not have so much sympathy for others. What really makes Ye Jiao care is when they can move out.
Now that the weather is getting hot, it's time to draw a new yard for the stone.
Because of Ye Jiao's mind, Xiao Su and Mrs. Mo will more or less pay attention to the Wen family's affairs, live close to each other, it is not difficult to get information, and they know it well.
But after listening to Mrs. Mo, Ye Jiao knew that the next topic would not be easy for the children to listen to, so she said, "send them back first." then Ye Jiao hugged Xu Bao, kissed him on the cheek and said with a smile, "is it good for Xu Bao to play with her brother and sister?"
Xu Bao didn't care about Wen Jiaoleng's family at all. After listening to Ye Jiao's words, Xu Bao immediately nodded and went down to the ground with a smile, and said to Ningbao and Ruyi, "come, my brother is going to study for you."
Ning Bao did not speak, but Ruyi just said, "No." Then Xu Bao took the ball and stuffed it into his arms.
Ruyi was lively and forgetful. When he saw the cloth ball, he forgot what he wanted to say and played happily, so he didn't notice Xubao's smiling eyes.
Ning Bao, clutching the wool ball, didn't open his mouth. He just looked at them for a few times, then hit Yawn, and lay lazily in Xiao Su's arms and closed his eyes and went to sleep.
When Xiao Su and several wives left with the children, Mrs. Mo said, "before the Wen family discussed their relationship, she said that a family surnamed Zhang was not from the capital, but there was a four girls who were away from home. The four girls said that they were on good terms with Master Wen and promised each other for life. This was going to be hired. As a result, Aunt Sun knew about it, and it started to stir up trouble."
Ye Jiao blinked and felt that Master Wen and the four girls were in a mess. She was not going to sort it out, but only asked, "are they going to move out?"
Mrs. Mo nodded and said, "it's going to be moved. Master Wen has already bought a lot of things on credit for the betrothal gift. It's about the last few days."
Ye Jiao laughed when she heard the words, while Huanning, who sat beside her, was like a mirror, thinking that the Wen family was really stupid.
Perhaps outsiders feel that as royal relatives usually go up and down, they certainly have no regard for the life of the ordinary market, and they do not know anything about the ordinary merchants in the capital, but they do not know that Huanning knows much more than ordinary people.
She has whatever she wants now, and all she cares about is Ye Pingrong's future.
Huanning set its sights on Shi Tianrui from the very beginning.
Shi Tianrui will return to Beijing soon, and this person will certainly be valued. Huanning is also very concerned about Shi, so he will naturally find out the details of the Wen family and save this family from causing trouble to Shi Tianrui in the future.
Now when he heard this, Huanning said nothing, but he thought in his heart that he would inquire about it when he went back, and it was better to get rid of the Wen family earlier than to be a nuisance to him every day.
In the Wen family, Wen Minsong did not know that he had long been targeted, and he is now in a state of anxiety.
Wen Minsong, who already had three sons, did not care much about Sun's child this time, but because Sun was pregnant, he could not have an attack even if he knew that Sun had misappropriated the family's money. The belly became a shield, leaving Sun to keep him diaphragm.
Therefore, Wen Minsong decided that Sun could not be made big, and as Shi thought, he did not want to go to prison to support the concubine room, so he took the mind to marry someone else.
It was at this time that Miss Zhang Si entered his life.
She is a little younger than Wen Minsong, but she is much older than Shi. She has been married before, and then she is at peace with her husband's family.
At first sight, Zhang's carriage was stuck in a mud puddle. Wen Minsong asked people to help and knew him when he came and went. Wen Minsong looked at Zhang's soft voice. Even though he was tall and strong, he was very simple and gentle, and when he saw that the Zhang family was a wealthy family, he thought of it.
When the Wen family was about to use the money, he did not like Zhang, but he never married for the sake of love, but valued the interests behind Zhang.
Even if he disliked Zhang's marriage and did not have a slim figure, he still pretended to be affectionate, gave some things from time to time, spent a lot of money, and was very generous in front of the Zhang family.
After their relationship developed by leaps and bounds, Wen Minsong wanted to get people to propose to the Zhang family, so as to get the help of the Zhang family to save their own shop.
His abacus crackled, who knew Sun was looking for something for him at this time.
Sun lay on the bed, touching his belly, his face dumbfounded.
She has done something stupid and hated Shi to death, but she has never touched anyone's life, nor has she ever had any ups and downs.
Losing her child is probably the biggest thing in her life so far.
In Shi's time, Sun actually did not experience any hardship. Because of Shi Fangzheng and Wen Minsong's liking, Sun's coquettish and obedient behavior always benefited. Life was easier than anyone else. Who would have thought that Shi was gone and the big stone on his head was removed. Sun just found that the Wen family left Shi not Lang Lang blue sky, but a haze.
Turning around, what she saw was Wen Minsong's cold eyes.
Sun subconsciously softened his voice: "my lord, I …". "
"the doctor says you're all right, just rest, and don't go out recently, so as not to cause trouble in vain." With that, Wen Minsong was about to leave.
Sun sat up hurriedly, and regardless of his discomfort, he got out of bed to stop him. After being held down by the woman beside him, Sun dared not move much, but cried sadly, "my lord, I know I am wrong. I will never touch another penny in the family in the future. Just please do it for the sake of the children.". "
Wen Minsong frowned slightly, looked at her and said, "it is because of the children that I did not dispose of you. All the money you moved was sent to your mother's house. If I sue your mother's family to the Yamen, I am afraid there are not a few people who will be locked up."
Sun suddenly lost his voice and was silent.
Wen Minsong went on to say, "I have taken care of you now, but you have lost my child, and it is also right for you to reflect on yourself."
Sun only felt cold all over. She opened her mouth and her voice was a little hoarse: "my lord, this child is mine, too.". I am his mother-in-law. How can I not be distressed when he is gone? "
"if you were distressed, you wouldn't treat yourself so carelessly. I'm going to have a wedding in a few days, so you can stay in the house. " Wen Minsong finished and walked away.
Sun, on the other hand, seemed to know this man who had been with him for half his life for the first time, blowing air from the cracks in his bones.
In the past, I only felt that Wen Minsong only valued silver money, which was a good thing. If not, Shi would have suppressed himself as if he had a good temper.
But now, Sun just know, this Lang heart such as iron is how terrible thing in the end.
In the end, Wen Minsong married Zhang, but failed to really save his business.
Because it was not until Zhang entered the door that Wen Minsong knew that Zhang was not a fuel-saving lamp.
Zhang was originally arrogant and domineering, but he was particularly overbearing when he was still in the boudoir. He became more and more fierce after getting married, until he and his husband's family failed to rein in. This time, the Zhang family wanted to take advantage of the Wen family to enter the capital. Zhang, on the other hand, pretended to deceive him into marrying himself because he looked at Wen Minsong, gentle and elegant, so he pretended to deceive him into marrying himself.
Unexpectedly, really paid homage to the church, and after less than half a month, the skin pretended by the two of them fell clean.
The Wen family is not a wealthy resident in the capital, but owes a lot of debt.
And the Zhang family did not sincerely help Wen Minsong tide over the difficulties, seeing that he was no longer in charge of making use of his achievements.
Zhang hates Wen Minsong before deceiving her, even if she also lied to this person, but Zhang's temperament can not think of his own fault, can only think of Wen Minsong's fault.
She is already married for the second time, and if she is separated from her mother's family, I am afraid it will be difficult to get back to her, so I can only recognize it first.
Recognize it, but Zhang doesn't want to put up with it any longer.
As a result, the temper suppressed before came out again, and Zhang directly threw away the gentleness that he had not been accustomed to, and changed the way to clean up Wen Minsong every day.
She is not like Shi who does not have a family to rely on, nor is she as stupid as a pig like Sun. Zhang is thoughtful and calculating, and she is ruthless enough to do things, and she can even slap Wen Minsong in the slap!
Zhang has great strength. After all, Wen Minsong is pampered and pampered. He loves to play and spoils his body when he is young. Unexpectedly, he can't beat Zhang, and he often has a glow on his face.
But he also dared not divorce his wife, because part of Zhang's dowry filled the hole in the Wen family. He was afraid that his wife would not be so cheap, and Wen Minsong could only bear it.
Zhang was always shouting, beating and killing, and he put up with it.
Zhang put up with the death of Sun, who was locked up, and he put up with it.
But Zhang found several demons and enchanting women to entangle his three sons. Wen Minsong finally couldn't sit still and wanted to settle with Zhang.
As a result, at this point, Zhang became pregnant and used money to keep the last two shops of the Wen family. Wen Minsong suddenly lost the courage to break the net with her.
He struggled for several days, but he let it go.
But the house could not live any longer, not only because the Qi family was in a hurry to urge the debt, but also because the Qi family next door was Qi er, where the chickens and dogs jumped, but the years were quiet there. Wen Minsong really couldn't accept the gap. He just wanted to avoid it early.
But Ye Jiao doesn't know these things. she is now addicted to fiddling with medicinal flowers and teasing dragons and phoenixes, and the ups and downs next door have nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Shi, who is in the orchard on the outskirts of Beijing, knows all about it.
On that night, a man in a black cloak hurried to the orchard and took off his hood, which was Wen Minsong's concubine Qiuniang.
Qiu Niang was originally a dancer, but later she became Wen Minsong's concubine and always kept her place, because she knew she was not a concubine like Sun, and if she upset the master's family, the concubine could be punished, but she could sell such a concubine directly.
Shi was fine when he was there, but after changing Zhang, Qiu Niang was afraid that she would be killed like Sun, so she turned around and grabbed Shi as her own lifesaver, and would tell her everything.
This time she also told Shi in detail about the Wen family, and then said, "the Wen family will move out tomorrow, and the house will arrive at the Qi family."
Shi looked light, holding the tea, looking at the floating and sinking tea inside, said: "you think of a way, let the Wen family move the day."
When Qiu Niang heard this, there was a look of embarrassment on her face.
But without waiting for her to open her mouth, Shi shook her head again: "just that the Zhang family is domineering. If you do something, I'm afraid she will hate it. In the future, it will be even more difficult for you to leave."
Qiu Niang nodded again and again, with a look of hope on her face.
Shi Shi asked her wife to hand her a wooden box, which was heavy, and Qiu Niang stared at it with a glance.
This is a box of silver ingots, held in my hand, at least a hundred taels.
Shi looked at her with a smile and said, "the silver ticket is not easy to exchange, and it is not as easy to use as the present silver." Just take it, you find the opportunity to cry with Zhang, just say that you want to live, and then give Zhang the account books of Wen Minsong that I asked you to steal before, and she will let you go. This money is enough for you to make a living. "
Qiu Niang immediately smiled, then hesitated and asked, "Ma'am, she …". Can you really let me go? "
Shi nodded and soothed his voice: "Sun was in her way, so he lost his life, but you are careful everywhere. She doesn't have an heir yet. She doesn't have to embarrass you. No one is born to love you. As long as you are clever, she will nod."
Qiu Niang was relieved, knelt down and kowtowed to Shi, and then put on her cloak again and left.
The woman went to close the door, then walked quickly to Shi's side and said, "Master, Wen's dirty heart and lungs won't bother us again, will he?"
There was no smile on Shi's face, and his voice was light: "No, after tomorrow, all the dust will settle down." Then Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I still didn't see through him in the end. I thought he could still have some humanity, but I didn't expect it to be such a monster."
His main wife was treated as an outsider by him, and his concubine, who had been spoiled for many years, could also be abandoned, which was all right, but Wen Minsong was able to sit and watch his three children being led astray by Zhang.
For his own sake, Wen Minsong could even give up his son.
The poison of the tiger does not eat the seed, which is really inferior to that of animals.
It was just that the woman had psychological doubts and did not quite understand what day it would be tomorrow, and she did not know how many knives Shi had stabbed Wen Jia in the back.
But the woman had been with Shi for a long time, and even though she was stupid before, she could still learn something now. she naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she suppressed all thoughts and waited on Shi to go to bed.
On the second day, the Wen family began to prepare things to move early in the morning.
Even if the Wen family is in decline, there is still some family wealth that has been saved over the years, and since they are going to move out, these things naturally cannot be left behind.
Moreover, Wen Minsong hated the Qi family so much that his teeth tickled, because he dared not do anything because there was a princess behind him, but Wen Minsong wanted to dig up all the weeds and scrape off the painted wall, so he didn't want to leave anything to the Qi family.
But Ye Jiao, who knew the news next door, was not angry at all. instead, she gladly looked at Qi Yun and said, "Xianggong, what are we going to do after they leave?"
Qi Yun smiled and kissed Ye Jiao on the face, hugged her and said slowly, "what do you want to do?"
Ye Jiao thought about it, but there was no plan in her head.
Little ginseng only felt particularly happy that she could suddenly double the size of her home, but it was a bit difficult for her to make sense of everything.
So Ye Jiao could only hold her finger and said, "if you want to plant some trees, you need all the peach trees and plum blossom trees. It was good to see them at home before. This time, I still want a cool house. It's almost summer, and the children are also afraid of the heat." Oh yes, and build a yard for the children, and they will live in it in a few years. "
Qi Yun smiled and nodded, answered one by one, turned his head to Tiezi and said, "when they are gone, find someone to push the wall and what is not supposed to be in it to re-cover it."
Tiezi would very much like to say that this is a bit wasteful. After all, when ordinary people buy a house, they change the decoration inside, not to mention that it will be rebuilt. Civil construction costs a lot of money, and ordinary people will not do so.
But Tiezi thought that the cool house should draw running water, and this kind of tree would open a new courtyard, which sounds simple, but it takes some hard work, so it would be better to flatten it all.
As for money. What the second young master needs most is money.
So Tiezi immediately answered, and then asked someone to bring things, ready to demolish the house after the Wen family left.
Ye Jiao, on the other hand, slightly withstood the excitement, peeled a grape and wanted to put it into her mouth, then slightly paused in her hand and handed Qi Yun the grape meat that had already reached her mouth: "Xianggong, you eat."
Qi Yun was also impolite, opening his mouth and holding the grape meat, but the tip of his tongue touched the soft belly of the woman's fingers.
Even though Qi Yun's body is a little cooler than that of ordinary people, his hands and feet are always cold, but his lips are always a little hot. The grape was soaked in cold water, which made Ye Jiao's fingers cold. The little ginseng subconsciously shook.
She immediately withdrew her hand and looked at her green fingertips in some bewilderment, wondering why she had just shaken.
But when Ye Jiao looked up at Qi Yun, she saw that the man's ears were already red.
Ye Jiao wanted to ask him what was wrong, while Qi Yun wanted to break up the topic and dispel the things that should not have been thought of during the day, but before they could speak, Tiezi hurried back.
Before he opened his mouth, he saw Qi Yun staring at him with an unknown expression.
Tiezi was stupefied for a moment, and then he saw Xiao Su winking at himself.
However, Tiezi gave birth to a smart brain, but when he met Xiao Su, he became stupid. Seeing Xiao Su look at himself, Tiezi laughed foolishly and even forgot what he wanted to say.
Or Ye Jiao asked curiously, "Iron, why are you back?"
Qi Yun glanced at him and said faintly, "say."
In a word, Tiezi immediately reined in his smile and said solemnly, "the second young master, the second young lady, just after the Wen family went out, they happened to get on the carriage from Shizhi County to Beijing in the street, and it took a while. Later, Master Wen's car-Yu's horse was surprised, overturned and fell, and now he was shouting for Lang Zhong in the street."
Ye Jiao had received a letter from Zheng, knowing that Shi Tianrui and Zheng's husband and wife were going to Beijing in the near future, but she did not expect to catch up on the same day.
You startled the horse?
The little ginseng still remembered Zheng in his heart and said, "are Shi Zhi Xian and Wan Ying all right?"
Before Tiezi opened his mouth, Qi Yun, who was sitting next to Ye Jiao, said, "Don't worry, they must be all right."
Ye Jiao was stupefied, and then when she saw Tiezi nodded, she turned her head and looked at Qi Yun in surprise: "how did Xianggong know?"
Qi Yun smiled and thought, because he understood the character of Shi Tianrui and Zheng Shi, so he could guess.
What surprised the horse? it was clear that it was to vent his anger for Shi, which was just to find bad luck for Wen Minsong.
And the person who can do this kind of face-to-face unhappiness, I'm afraid it's not Shi Tianrui, that person has a plan, but his mind is full of people all over the world, doing things upright and upright, and the most upright person, what can't be done, can only be Zheng.
She was originally the daughter of the Lord, but now she has returned to the capital, that is, she has gone to her own place to see who can mess with anyone who is not happy, without the slightest hesitation.
Qi Yun even felt that he didn't have to mess with the Wen family any more. After all, the Wen family had got all the things he was interested in, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
Around Zheng Shi and Shi Shi have a lot of anger to spread on him, Qi Erlang will not be doing anything, this Wen family let them vent their anger.
It's just that none of these Qi Yun said to Ye Jiao-Ming, but smiled proudly and said, "not only do I know that they are all right, but I also know that they are about to come to the door."
As soon as Tiezi heard this, he felt that it was not hard to guess.
This is Dongcheng, mostly the home of merchants. Shi Zhi County will certainly not live here when he goes to Beijing for a duty visit. He will come here naturally to visit the Qi family.
But the villain could not think of this, she blinked: "whose door?"
Qi Yun smiled faintly and said, "naturally, it is the door of our house."
Just then, a young man ran over and said, "second Young Master, there is a man surnamed Shi outside with his wife and children, saying that he wants to see the second young master and the second young wife."
Ye Jiao's eyes lit up as soon as she heard this.
When the boy left, Ye Jiao shook Qi Yun's hand and said with joy in her voice, "Xianggong was right again, really awesome!"
Qi Erlang enjoyed the revered eyes of his wife, then got up and dragged Ye Jiao to the vestibule.
Sure enough, the visitors were Shi Tianrui and Zheng Shi.
I haven't seen him for months, but Shi Tianrui looks very different from what he used to be.
Being an official in a local place is different from being an official in the capital, especially training people. When Beijing officials come into contact with powerful families, they don't know the sufferings of the people until they are out of office.
Shi Tianrui came out of a hard life, but his mind will change a lot after becoming an official. When he returned to Beijing this time, he saw that he was still elegant and elegant, but he was more calm and introverted.
After seeing Qi Yun, Shi Tianrui had a lot to say to him, but Ye Jiao was in no mood to sit in and took Zheng to the back hall.
In the corridor, Zheng took Ye Jiao on his arm, looked at her slightly, and then smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for months, but my wife is still so beautiful and slim, which is really enviable."
Ye Jiao gently shook Zheng's wrist and felt that the man was healthy and raised the corners of her mouth: "Wan Ying, too. You are very healthy and not fat."
This words is simple, but direct, inexplicably let Zheng feel close, thinking that Jiao Niang is still that Jiao Niang, has not changed at all, just some is not rusty at all, Zheng Shi smiled and leaned closer, said: "I also brought something this time, Chunlan's drugstore recently got several medicinal flowers, she did not know the effect, so let me bring it to you."
Ye Jiao and Dong had known each other for a long time, so she naturally knew what Dong meant, nodded and said, "Let me see. If there is anything I can recognize, I will write to her and tell her."
Zheng never thought that Dong still had this meaning. he was stupefied at first, and then bent his eyebrows with a smile.
Then Zheng asked about the body of Empress Meng.
She had an old relationship with Empress Meng in the boudoir, though she was not a close friend, but she was familiar with it. Only when she recognized the jade Ruyi given to Ye Jiao by Empress Meng at a glance could she guess their relationship.
Now Empress Meng was pregnant, and Zheng was happy but worried for her. Ye Jiao asked a few more questions. Ye Jiao returned one by one, thinking about going back to send some medicinal flowers to Empress Meng.
It's always useful, even if it looks good.
In addition to caring about Empress Meng, Zheng is particularly curious about Ye Jiao's three children.
Before the dragon and Phoenix full moon, Zheng often came to see Ye Jiao, but also liked to tease Xubao. After Qi er and his family went to Beijing, they did not see each other again. The child changed for a while, and Zheng missed him very much.
Everyone likes the milk doll, especially after Ye Jiao said that the dragon and Phoenix can already walk, Zheng especially wanted to have a look: "the last time I saw them, they were still a small one, but now they should have grown. I don't know whether they look like a lady or a husband like you."
Ye Jiao walked to the wing with her and said, "I can't see it yet. anyway, they don't look like each other."
Zheng said with a smile: "I have seen twins, they are exactly the same, but most of the twins are not similar, but they must be good-looking children."
The little ginseng nodded immediately and raised his chin proudly: "it's natural. Xianggong and I are both good-looking."
Zheng looked at her. After all, he reached out and pinched Ye Jiao's face. When Ye Jiao looked over with some doubt, Zheng immediately put down his hand, coughed, pushed open the door of the wing and went in with her.
At this time, Ruyi was sitting on the blanket, fiddling with the toys on his hands.
Most of this is the rest of Xubao's original play. it is not that Qi Yun and Ye Jiao are unwilling to buy new ones for their children, but that these are all Xubao's thoughts. he will share what he likes with his younger brothers and sisters and be happy to watch them play.
Ruyi held a cloth tiger in his hand at the moment, and there was a small flower dog on the ground. Ruyi took the cloth tiger to poke the little flower dog. I don't know what came to mind, so he giggled and said, "Meow, woof, darling." Zheng felt soft in his heart.
Then Zheng turned his head and saw Ningbao sitting on the small bench and Xubao squatting in front of Ningbao.
Xu Bao was holding a piece of milk cake in his hand, ready to feed it to his younger brother. He also took care of his brother's small mouth and was difficult to bite. He specially broke the milk cake into small pieces and handed it to him.
It's just that every time before handing it out, Xu Bao would smile and shout: "Brother, call elder brother."
Ningbao is not always talkative, but he is still willing to give Xubao this face when he has something to eat. He obediently shouted, "Brother." Then he opened his mouth and received a piece of milk cake.
But if it was just a cry, Xu Bao was so excited that he raised his hand with a smile: "Brother."
"Brother."
"Brother?"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
"."
Seeing that Ningbao was silent, Xubao did not give him milk cakes. Xiao Ningbao looked straight at Xubao, while Ye Jiao and Zheng, who were watching inside and outside the room, did not speak, but looked at them with interest with a smile.
The next moment, saw Ning Bao stand up, did not even look at Xubao, turned around and left.
Xu Bao thought his brother was angry and was about to chase, when he saw Ningbao standing behind Ruyi, reached out and patted Ruyi.
Xiao Ruyi was originally absorbed in playing with a cloth tiger, but after being patted, he turned his head blankly and saw Ningbao staring at her.
Then, Ning Bao pointed to Xubao and said to Ruyi with a milky voice: "Sister, call brother."
Ruyi is different from Ningbao. She is very talkative and lively. She immediately laughs and cries out, "Brother!"
Ningbao was very satisfied and reached Ruyi in front of Xubao. In Xubao's dazed eyes, Ningbao poked Ruyi, and Ruyi said to Xubao, "Brother."
At this sound, Xu Bao lost his temper and obediently gave all the milk cakes to his brother and sister.
Seeing this, Zheng couldn't straighten up with laughter, and Ye Jiao bent her eyebrows.
Hearing their movements, all three children looked over and ran over with a clatter.
Zheng hugged Xiao Fangdun Xubao, hugged him and asked him, "does Xu Bao know his aunt?"
Xu Bao immediately nodded: "Yes, my aunt sent books to Xu Bao."
Zheng was surprised at first that it was true that she had sent books, but it was half a year ago, but she did not expect that Xubao could remember so clearly. It was really very clever. Then he smiled and hugged Xu Bao into his arms and shouted that he liked it badly.
On the other hand, Ye Jiao hugged the twins of her family, touched their bellies, and was ready to be fed with some rice paste.
Just then, someone came outside the door and said, "second wife, Lady Shi is here, right in the vestibule."
