Ye Pingrong dismounted, and Liu Rong immediately dismounted and followed Ye Pingrong and walked quickly towards the carriage.

Chu Chengyun, who was sitting in the carriage, did not come down immediately, but said, "is the table ready?"

Ye Pingrong responded and said, "back to the master, not yet, but soon."

Chu Chengyun nodded and then said, "has Jiro made arrangements?"

"it's all arranged properly, and the number of people is up."

Chu Chengyun did not speak any more.

He came this time not only because he valued the Qi family and Qi Sanlang, but also because he had no time to talk face-to-face after the caravan came back, and now it just happens that the two things come together.

For the gold and silver earned by the caravan, Chu Chengyun did not attach so much importance to the gold and silver earned by the caravan, and what he wanted to know more was what it looked like outside the customs.

Chu Chengyun had never been there, and he never thought he could go and have a look, but he couldn't stop his curiosity.

This curiosity is not for fun, but to make arrangements early so that Dijon will not invade the country and ask carefully for the sake of his family and country. Some things are far less true through the literal description than they are said to be face-to-face.

It's just that this time many officials came, and if they recognized that Chu Chengyun was also troublesome, Chu Chengyun promised: "I will not go down. I will go to the tea shop first and come and have a look after the people have dispersed."

"Yes."

"one more thing, when the table is over, you find someone to send something to Lord Shi in your name, and he will understand when he sees it." Chu Chengyun said, then someone put a potted plant to Ye Pingrong.

What is planted here is emerald-green bamboo, tied up in a bundle, and hung with a very tacky little red cloth.

Of course, Ye Pingrong will not directly say vulgar, since it is given by the emperor, there must be a moral, but he can not understand it.

In fact, Chu Chengyun around the numerous palace guards, this kind of small thing can be done by anyone, anyone can do it properly.

It's just that this matter is a private matter and naturally has to be handed over to close friends.

Ye Pingrong took over the potted plant, answered it, and then saw Chu Chengyun's carriage leave.

On one side, Liu Rong also bowed and did not straighten up until he could not see Chu Chengyun's carriage. He looked at Ye Pingrong and asked, "this thing is going to be given to the Lord Shi Tianrui who we went to pick up last time?"

Because Liu Rong also followed Chu Chengyun all the way out of the Duanwangfu, Chu Chengyun did not keep many things from him. Just now, since Chu Chengyun promised to let him listen, he believed him. Ye Pingrong truthfully said, "Yes, this is Lord Shi." what you just helped was his own sister. "

In fact, Liu Rong made some guesses when he heard his surname Shi. Now that he has been confirmed, he immediately smiled.

But he immediately concealed his smile and said, "General, you have to find someone to send you around. I might as well go and come safely."

Chu Chengyun originally meant to avoid his relationship and let outsiders see that Shi Tianrui had a good relationship with Ye Pingrong and had nothing to do with him. Ye Pingrong sent his bodyguards.

But Liu Rong now also has a serious official position, and Ye Pingrong was surprised to catch up with this kind of errand work.

Liu Rong has his own reason: "I also want to get to know this adult Shi."

On hearing this, Ye Pingrong was first surprised and then relieved.

Liu Rong followed him all the time on the battlefield. If Ye Pingrong is not very sensitive to the affairs of the court, then Liu Rong is an Oblivious from the bottom of his mind, never walking around those twists and turns and looking at the end of his mind.

Of course, there are advantages, pure, kind and loyal, and you can also get Chu Cheng to allow new people, but a general like Liu Rong is easy to be set up and ripped off.

Now that he has the heart to get to know the courtiers favored by the emperor, Ye Pingrong is naturally very relieved, which naturally does not count as forming a party for selfish ends. It can only be said that Liu Rong's vision is much higher than before.

But don't know that Liu Rong had completely other thoughts, but he looked so awe-inspiring that he fooled Ye Pingrong in the past.

Only Ye Pingrong said, "Yes, it's the same for you to send it off."

The envoy was handed over to Liu Rong. Liu Ronggong respectfully took the flowerpot, unable to hide the smile on his face, and then the two entered the vestibule before and after.

In the back hall, when Shi entered the door, he heard bursts of laughter.

"come, Ruyi, come to my aunt." Huanning has no princess shelf, smiling and clapping her hands, teasing the little girl.

Sitting on the blanket is the dragon and Phoenix fetus, dressed in red, fleshy, being coaxed to move.

Ruyi needless to say, even if you leave her there, you can play with yourself. The more people you are, the happier you are. When you hear Huanning calling her, Ruyi gave a smile and shouted "aunt" softly, which softened Huanning's heart. He held her in his arms and coaxed him, and some people next to him said auspicious words.

But Ning Bao did not move, sat for a while, felt tired, then lay down askew, got up motionless, hit a Yawn and went to sleep.

No one screamed and did not move, but turned over at most, and was not at all interested in the small objects placed in a circle on the couch not far away.

Grab something? Where can find Rest? interesting.

Ye Jiao watched from the side and suddenly felt that it was not easy to catch the week.

According to the rules, the catch week should be finished before lunch, and not all the guests come to see it, only relatives and friends.

Therefore, when the dragon and Phoenix were carried to the couch, there were not many people standing next to them.

Shi often came and went, and was close to the two children, and this time he also brought objects to add something to their Zhou Li.

What is given to Ruyi is a pair of gold scissors, but it is a look, it is round around, it can't be opened, and it can't hurt anyone.

What is added to Ningbao is a very expensive purple pen, and the penholder is shorter than the ordinary one, which is very suitable for children.

Ye Jiao looked, smiled and thanked Shi, who smiled back, and then stood in the same place with Huanning.

It's just a common thing, but it looks unusual in the eyes of others.

The affairs of Shi and the Wen family have long been a topic of conversation in the capital, saying everything. After all, the mouth is long on the individual's face, and no one can stop it.

And it is Shi who suffers from this matter. The Wen family is really sorry for her, but it is Shi who is still criticized by more people behind her.

Men say that she is not virtuous, women laugh that she can not give birth, after all, there are all kinds of things to say.

And these laughter and sarcasm disappeared after Shi Tianrui returned to Beijing, and now it is no secret that Huanning and Shi are friends, and others dare not say a word more.

Things in the world are like this, but those who live miserably are always ridiculed and want to gag others. They only have the ability to make others dare not say or mention them.

Now looking at Shi and Huanning smiling Yan Yan, everyone knows it and treats Shi warmly than in the past.

Shi looked at that faint smile, which seemed to be no different from the past.

It's just that she knows how much sincerity and hypocrisy these people have. At this time, Shi is just dealing with it casually. Only when she looks at Ye Jiao, Shi's eyes are full of warmth.

Little ginseng did not say anything to others at this time, but stared at his two good treasures, clapped his hands and whispered, "Ning Bao, Ruyi, come and catch Zhou."

Ye Jiao explained the meaning of grasping Zhou to the dragon and Phoenix twins before, but she did not train them to catch anything.

In order to let their children be loved by the husband, many people will teach their children what they can catch and what they can't catch before catching weeks, just for good luck.

Ye Jiao did not think about it this way. She regarded it as a game. She liked the children no matter what, and Ye Jiao was curious about what her children would catch.

Qi Yun, on the other hand, prepared all the things of Zhouzhou neatly and completely early on, and put all the things in the dish. They were all auspicious items, and nothing could be wrong with grasping anything.

Although Qi Yun does not believe in the idea of grasping Zhou Ding for life, he is still thoughtful.

In the final analysis, Qi Erlang is still the one who keeps everything in his hands.

Ruyi was the first to stand up. She walked steadily now and spoke clearly. After looking around the tray with objects, she asked Ye Jiao, "Mother, what do you like?"

As soon as Ye Jiao heard this, she knew that the child wanted to take something for himself. she was a little sweet in her heart. With a smile on her face, Ye Jiao said, "if you want to find what you like, the mother you like will like it."

Ruyi said "Oh", and then looked around.

In the end, it was a baby doll who had just turned one year old. She didn't know a lot of things, so she could only reach out and touch a beautiful one that she could hold.

Wobble for a moment, look at the pattern above, Ruyi immediately had a smile on his face, do not remember the slightest thing I have seen before.

Standing by, Mrs. Mo immediately said, "the girl has caught Yu Ruyi, and everything will go well in the future."

Ye Jiao was happy when she heard this. She picked up Ruyi and kissed her, which made the little girl laugh incessantly.

It's just that when Ye Jiao looked at Ningbao, she had a pair of big black eyes.

Ning Bao is different from Ruyi. He knows what he means to catch Zhou, but he is not willing to stretch out his hand. He just sits there, looking at the objects in the dish, but his eyes look at Xu Bao from time to time.

Xubao didn't quite understand why he looked at himself, a little dazed.

Qi Yun coughed softly and said softly, "is Ningbao hungry?" When you're done, it's time to eat. "

Ning Bao looked at Qi Yun again, his fleshy little face turned back and forth, and then slowly extended his hand to the plate.

Then he picked up a small wooden sword.

Mrs. Mo immediately said, "Master Ning has grasped the wooden sword and will certainly be in good health and become a general in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone followed and talked auspiciously, as if Ning Bao could really be a general in the future.

Only Xu Bao opened his mouth, and some reluctantly fluttered in Qi Yun's arms, whispering, "my brother must have made a mistake."

Qi Yun patted Xubao's little butt. Although he didn't believe in grasping Zhou Ding's life, he teased his child and said, "what can be wrong with that?" You can grasp whatever you want. I think your brother will be happy to learn martial arts himself. "

Xubao stared at Qi Yun: "that Xubao wants to catch again."

Qi Yun was curious: "what do you want to catch?"

"if you catch my mother, it belongs to Xu Bao."

Qi Yun held him in his arms, bent the corners of his mouth and said faintly, "it's too late."

Xu Bao toot his mouth and lay directly on Qi Yun's shoulder, angry with himself.

However, he did not get angry for long. When it was time to eat longevity noodles, Xu Bao sat in the middle of the dragon and Phoenix twins with a small bowl, feeding him here and there. He looked at his brother and sister who opened his mouth. Xu Bao immediately laughed and fed more vigorously, while the woman Mo on the side stared nervously, always ready to take over.

Ye Jiao did not know what the child was happy about, but she could feel at ease when she saw that he was happy.

It was not until it was getting dark that the guests drifted away.

After a lively day, the Qi family gradually calmed down, and the leftovers in front of them were naturally taken care of, while Qi Yun felt that Ye Jiao must be tired and went back early to accompany her.

Sure enough, as soon as entered the door, saw Ye Jiao yawning against the bedstead.

When Ye Jiao saw him coming back, Ye Jiao got up and wanted to help him undress. Qi Yun took a few steps to help her sit down again and said slowly, "since you are tired, take a rest. Where are the children?"

When Ye Jiao heard him say this, she no longer got up. She still leaned against the bedstead and slowly replied, "hold it down and go to bed. They didn't take a nap today, so they took an early rest."

Qi Yun nodded, kissed her on the cheek, then quickly changed his clothes, washed his hands and face, and had two pots of Scald brought. Then Qi Yun carried it into the house, put it on the footstool next to the bed, and whispered, "Jiao Niang, wake up and soak your feet before you go to sleep."

Because it is already the middle of summer, it is usually comfortable to wear less, but because Ye Jiao is afraid of the heat, he is always cold, so it is common to eat cheese and sleep in a cool house.

Ye Jiao knows that she is all right, and if she can nourish Qi Yun, she can nourish herself.

But Qi Erlang did not know these things. he just wanted to take a soak every day so as to help Jiao Niang disperse the cold and be good for his health.

It was also very comfortable about this, and Ye Jiao never refused.

Ye Jiao, who was half asleep and half awake, answered, but her eyes were not open. She kicked off her embroidered shoes, pulled off her socks, picked up the trouser legs slightly and soaked them in.

Qi Yun brought another plate of water and sat next to Ye Jiao. As he took off his shoes and socks, he said, "the emperor was here just now. Speaking of the grass you sent, he doesn't seem to know what it is for."

Ye Jiao gave a vague "um", then leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder, closed her eyes and said, "Hui Niang won't tell him, and it's flowers, not grass, but flowers fade away."

Qi Yun smiled, but did not ask what was the secret of this thing.

If Jiao Niang says it is useful, then it will be useful.

But Qi Yun went on to say, "also, I saw an official of the Imperial Academy who had been talking to Lord Shi for a long time and wanted to send something. Lord Shi confiscated it."

Ye Jiao's voice was still lazy and asked casually, "Why?"

Qi Yun said faintly, "I only heard a sentence vaguely, but I didn't hear it clearly. I probably wanted to ask for Lord Shi's sister."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao, who had just been half asleep, immediately opened her eyes and looked up at Qi Yun, somewhat surprised: "someone is going to marry Yingxiu?"

Qi Yun nodded: "mm-hmm."

Ye Jiao was not surprised that someone would like Shi. After all, in her eyes, Shi was an excellent girl, and it was only normal for someone to fall in love with her, but Shi had never come into contact with any officials of the Imperial Academy, and it was really strange that someone rushed to propose marriage without saying a word.

Blind marriage and dumb marriage is an ordinary family, and we have to look at each other more or less in this capital.

On the other hand, Qi Yun generally turned his head and rubbed her cheek and said in a slow voice, "it is naturally up to Lord Shi to make decisions about these matters. As an elder brother, this is his duty. It's just that when you go out to a tea party and flower banquet in the future, you have to be asked about it. It's good to just say you don't know."

Ye Jiao stared at Qi Yun for a moment, then nodded: "well, I remember."

Qi Yun looked at her and asked softly, "Niao Niang doesn't ask me why?"

Ye Jiao leaned on Qi Yun's shoulder and replied, "Xiang Gong must feel that Yingxiu will not nod, and I don't think she will nod. Now that Yingxiu is living a good life, she can make decisions for herself, and no one else can control her. Why should I get involved?"

Although this is different from what Qi Yun had in mind, the reason is the same.

That Hanlin official must have other thoughts, even if Shi is beautiful and rich, but he is divorced from the body, which is not a good match in the eyes of ordinary people, especially those sour and rotten literati, there are so many rules and regulations, and only a few can jump out.

Most of the people who catch up now are interested in the future of Shi Tianrui.

How much like the original Wen Minsong? If you want to be fooled by Shi once, you won't be fooled a second time.

Qi Yun felt that it was good for Shi to keep her wife out of this kind of thing. Shi's mind had long been as deep as the sea, and she knew exactly what she wanted and didn't need help from others.

To Qi Yun's surprise, the little lady, who thought it would take some breath to convince her family of kindness, did not expect that Ye Jiao was still particularly thorough this time.

It seems that this is the case every time. My wife looks at her and is clever. In fact, she can always grasp the most authentic and rare truth in her heart.

Qi Yun wanted to praise her, but before he could open his mouth, he felt that the lady leaning on her shoulder had closed her eyes and slept, breathing evenly and looking calm.

Now, but at the beginning of the shift, Ye Jiao fell asleep. think she was very tired today.

Qi Erlang stopped noisy her, but carefully helped her lie flat, then cleaned himself first, then went to wash his hands, crouched on the ground with a clean cloth towel and wiped his wife's feet, gently straightened her, and went to move the impeller placed in the room. Feeling the slight wind, Qi Yun went back to bed and lay down.

As soon as he lay down, the sleeping Ye Jiao leaned over and hugged Qi Yun tightly.

Qi Yun's body temperature is slightly lower than that of ordinary people. Although Ye Jiao often feels distressed, it is really comfortable to hold it in the summer.

Mrs. Bamboo is still hot after holding her for a long time. Qi Huan is much more comfortable than Mrs. Bamboo.

Qi Erlang was hugged by her, put his hand around his wife, patted her on the back gently, and coaxed her to sleep.

At this time, the candlelight in the main house of Shifu has not been extinguished for a long time.

Zheng looked at Shi Tianrui pacing back and forth in the room, made her dizzy, and said, "that man has the heart to cling to it. Since he knows it, he just ignores him."

Shi Tianrui did not speak or walk any more, but sat down on the chair with a frown.

Zheng muttered to himself when he looked at him like this.

Most of the wives of ordinary people do not like their sister-in-law very much, especially those who leave their sister-in-law, who will be disliked in anyone's home.

Zheng is different. on the contrary, she feels that Shi and divorce are for the good of Shi Tianrui.

She and Wen Jiahe Li, in addition to save the Wen family into the pit can not climb up the mind, or do not want to drag Shi Tianrui.

Otherwise, Shi Tianrui has such a brother-in-law, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

Zheng doesn't mind that Shi is now alone and has set up a female household around. She can do whatever she wants.

But Shi Tianrui's idea is a little unclear.

Ordinary father and brother hope that the woman in the family can have a husband to rely on. The more rigid the person is, the more so, coincidentally, Shi Tianrui is an old-fashioned person.

If this person also has the intention of marrying his sister as soon as possible, what should he do?

When Zheng thought of this, he was a little worried. she was a woman, so she naturally understood Shi's heartache, but if Shi Tianrui had made up her mind, she could not be persuaded, so she could not help asking softly, "has Mr. Xiang ever thought of finding another good son-in-law for Yingxiu?"

Shi Tianrui did not recognize Zheng's temptation, still frowned and replied, "I have cheated Xiuer before, but I can't still fool her with these things." Now that Xiuer is living a good life, she is in charge of everything herself. I don't want to interfere with karma. "

As soon as these words came out, Zheng was surprised, but he never thought that the words of such an old-fashioned man were so thorough.

But soon Zheng smiled.

From ancient times to the present, the reason for being harsh on your own family is that you only pay attention to your own face, in other words, you are so selfish that you only love yourself, regardless of others, but you will not regard your family as an encumbrance if you have a little affection.

My husband is really attractive.

Zheng went over, sat next to Shi Tianrui and put his hand around his arm.

Now that Shi Tianrui is no longer a teenager, he has ups and downs in the sea of eunuchs, and his mind is a little bigger than his actual age.

It's just that Shi Tianrui's temper has always been disciplined and cautious. Zheng is much younger than him, but she is also a woman who comes out. There are many times when they respect each other and less time when they are close to each other. Now it makes Shi Tianrui a little flustered by Zheng's holding hands.

But he did not push Zheng away, for fear of annoying his wife, he just sat straight and did not know how to put his hands and feet.

Zheng looked at him with a smile and said slowly, "take your time. The man surnamed Wen is not something, which has hurt Yingxiu's heart. Now it is true that she is doing well."

Hearing the words, Shi Tianrui also forgot the nervousness just now, just nodded and said, "naturally, a good girl like Xiuer will naturally have a good future."

Zheng looked at him with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his husband was agreeable.

About entering Beijing, Shi Tianrui got the emperor's green eyes, looked at a good future, and the relationship between Zheng and his mother's family also eased. The things that had plagued Zheng before fell to the ground, and the temper she had been holding back came back. Compared with the gentle Duan Fang before, Zheng now smiles a lot and speaks with more dexterity: "Lord Xiang, I still remember the scene when I saw you for the first time."

Shi Tianrui looked at Zheng and wondered, "my wife is talking about the night when she got married."

Zheng glanced at him, leaned over and said slowly, "No, the first time I saw you was in the street. You made the list and walked the streets across the horse. At that time, I saw you dressed in royal clothes and red flowers, and you looked very handsome. At that time, I thought that you would not marry in this life. If your parents hadn't said no, I would have taken you home to worship at that time."

Shi Tianrui was surprised to hear Zheng talk about it for the first time. He turned his head and looked at Zheng. It took him a long time to ask, "is my face in the picture of my wife?"

Zheng didn't expect Shi Tianrui to ask such a sentence, but looked at him with a smile: "my husband is good-looking and knowledgeable. Of course I adore him. Doesn't he like my appearance?"

Shi Tianrui has been married for a long time and has children, but this is the first time to hear such straightforward love words.

The ears were red, and after holding back for a long time, Shi Tianrui squeezed out a sentence: "since, naturally like, Niang Rong Yao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong."

Zheng laughed and thought that it was good for him to read more, and he said boastful things in one way or another.

Just then, there was a boy's voice outside: "your Lordship, madam, someone says they want to see his Lordship."

Shi Tianrui wanted to get up, but saw Zheng, who was holding him, and immediately paused.

Seeing that his ears were red, Zheng did not embarrass him and let go of him with a smile.

Shi Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to tell his wife not to do this in the future, but he was happy for no reason, and swallowed it back before he said it.

Then Shi Tianrui went over and opened the door, his face had returned to the usual square, and his voice was a little lower: "who is he?"

It was probably just mentioned that someone wanted to set up his sister. Shi Tianrui was very cautious for fear that he was thinking about his little sister again.

The young man hunched over and replied, "it's an adult surnamed Liu who said he was here to deliver something for General Ye."

On hearing this, Shi Tianrui was relieved.

Ye Pingrong was familiar with him, and since he had sent him, he would not have any other thoughts.

So Shi Tianrui nodded, took the boy and headed for the vestibule.

The author has something to say: Shi Tianrui: this must not be about my sister.

Ye Pingrong: of course

Liu Rong::)
