Chapter 206
Early the next morning, Ye Jiao went to Qi Mingfu with Qi Yun.
Today is the day for the bride to respect tea and recognize people. Ye Jiao has experienced this before, and she certainly doesn't feel strange, but at that time she offered tea to the Qi family, but this time it was the other way around and Meng came to know her.
Because it was late yesterday, Qi Ming didn't go back to his room for Rest until the middle of the night. think the newlyweds won't go to bed so early, and it's normal to get up late.
Liu is not a harsh mother-in-law, Qi Fu does not care about these, the son can marry Qi Fule can not be happy, naturally do not care about these details, so did not urge.
When Qi Yun and Ye Jiao came, the couple had not yet got up, but Liu and Qi Fu were already having breakfast. There was no unhappy look on their faces, but they were smiling and very happy.
Seeing them enter the door, Liu waved with a smile: "Jiao Niang comes to sit next to me," and then Liu said to Mrs. Liu, "go and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Qi Fu followed: "also add a pair to Erlang."
Ye Jiao smiled and let go of Qi Yun's hand and went to sit down next to Liu. Qi Yun didn't think her parents were partial, but they thought it was good. Her parents liked the safety and stability of their wife, so they saluted and sat quietly beside Qi Fu, but they kept looking at Ye Jiao and couldn't move.
Liu asked someone to add a bowl of porridge to Ye Jiao and said with a smile, "this porridge was boiled yesterday. Liu Ma cooked it. Jiao Niang tasted it."
In the past, when she was in her hometown, Ye Jiao particularly liked the food cooked by Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu always waited on Liu. Even if she liked Ye Jiao, she never thought of sending her to her. Ye Jiao never asked for it, but sometimes she went to Liu's yard when she was greedy. Liu cherished her, and naturally she would let Mrs. Liu cook and give Ye Jiao a mouth addiction.
This is often the case. When you are a child, you will feel that it is delicious in the world, and you will like it even when you grow up.
When Ye Jiao was not a child, what she liked as an adult was the craftsmanship of Mrs. Liu. Even though she ate more delicacies in the capital, she still read this mouthful.
She thanked Liu. Ye Jiao picked up a spoon to eat porridge. As soon as she sipped it, she knew it was fish fillet porridge, but it was not only fish fillets, but also other refreshing ingredients were added, and a great deal of effort was made.
It looks ordinary, but only when you really eat it in your mouth can you know how delicious it is.
Ye Jiao immediately smiled. After eating one bowl, she added another bowl.
The wives of ordinary people are all careful in front of their mother-in-law, even if they are not careful to flatter, at least they can eat less, but Ye Jiao is very comfortable, and Liu likes it.
He probably never regarded Ye Jiao as an outsider. Liu looked at Ye Jiao as if he were looking at his daughter and said in a warm voice, "being able to eat is a blessing, but my wife is good, and I never let her worry about her mother." then Liu looked at Qi Yun, "but Erlang, how are you these days?"
Qi Yun did not always have a big appetite like Ye Jiao. He had just eaten two boiled egg at home in the morning, which had already made him feel full. At this moment, he just moved his chopsticks twice and then put it down. "Mother rest assured, I am much better now."
Although Liu did not take care of Qi Yun in the last two years, Qi Yun was brought up by her. when Qi Yun's health was the worst, Liu was able to stay alive by hugging him around for medical treatment.
Now only at a glance, Liu knows whether Qi Yun's words are true or false.
Because now it is August, the golden autumn season, the weather turns cool, summer clothes have to be sealed up and changed into autumn clothes.
In the past, when Qi Yun was not well, he usually lit a stove in the house in autumn for fear that he would be cold.
But now Qi Yun is wearing a long autumn gown worn by ordinary men, and he may use some thicker cloth, but Qi Erlang is much stronger than before.
Liu was relieved, nodded, turned the Buddha beads in his hand and whispered a few words, and then said to Qi Yun, "I feel at ease when I can see you healthy. Erlang, you must remember the care given to you by his wife."
Qi Yun nodded immediately, and he naturally thanked his wife.
And the little ginseng also calmly accepted this thank you, pull a small hand to raise the body this is Ye Jiao has always insisted on the thing, worthy of this thank you.
After breakfast, Ye Jiao accompanied Liu to walk in the backyard, and someone came to say that Qi Ming and Meng were awake.
Several people went back to the main hall. Qi Yun and Ye Jiao stood aside. Liu and Qi Fu sat down in the main seat and prepared the application of tea. Then they saw Qi Ming and Meng come in.
Because of their newlyweds, the colors of their clothes are very bright.
Qi Ming was dressed in a straight indigo train, while Meng wore a concubine train. When they stood together, they were really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.
Ye Jiao smiled as she looked at it, her eyebrows bent.
Qi Yun looked sideways at his wife and asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "what are you laughing at, Niang Niang?"
At this time, Meng over there had already begun to serve tea, while Ye Jiao held up the fan in her hand, blocked her mouth, and replied in a low voice, "I don't know, I just feel happy in my heart."
Qi Huan's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and now their fingers were clasped. Qi Yun's fingertips gently pressed Ye Jiao's palm and said, "if you are friends with your brother and sister-in-law, you will be able to have more than one person talking in one place."
Ye Jiao also thought of this, so she nodded and her smile deepened.
When Meng recognized his parents, he came and saluted Qi Yun and his wife. Because they had known each other for a long time, they were not strange to each other.
Then Liu called Meng over, took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Meng.
Meng took it, opened it, and saw that inside was a gold bracelet with exquisite workmanship.
Then listened to Liu Shi said: "this is the Spring Festival, your sister-in-law to give money to the three people to play, this left to you, can be regarded as a token of your sister-in-law's heart."
As soon as these words came out, Meng knew how powerful his mother-in-law was.
In fact, for Meng, although she grew up in the Meng family, she looked like a high-door courtyard, her father was high and powerful, and her sister was first the imperial concubine and then the queen, obviously a prominent family, and her daughter must be happy like a princess. but in fact, Meng's life is far from as easy as outsiders think.
At that time, Queen Meng was drugged and broke, and life was difficult. Although Prime Minister Meng was smart and wise in the court, he knew nothing about the back house. After he married the stephouse, Meng was also given the cold shoulder.
It's just that the back-house consultation in the open and secret didn't make Meng sharp and extreme, but made her intelligent and peaceful.
In the end, Meng was able to suppress her stepmother, coax her father, and be liked by her elder sister, and finally did a stewardship in the Meng family, which shows her ability.
Before marrying Qi Ming, Meng also asked about the two elders of the Qi family, especially Ye Jiao. At that time, Ye Jiao said that her mother-in-law was very good, but it was best to get along with each other, which reassured Meng's heart.
In Meng's view, Ye Jiao is a pure and kind-hearted woman, the more thorough she is, the more accurate she is, she says yes, that is good, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be easy to get along with.
When Liu arrived at Qi Ming House, Meng knew what she said and did, and she could see Liu's protection of her unpassed wife, so she became more down-to-earth.
However, if we only thought Liu was a tolerant and gentle lady before, then now Meng understands that Liu is very intelligent, but that her intelligence is not used to stir up the family, nor to bully daughter-in-law, but to use her intelligence to balance the relationship between the three sons, which makes the Qi family peaceful and stable.
Originally, when my mother-in-law met her new wife, the first face was more or less a rule, but Liu's smile was gentle instead of rules, and the gift belonged to her sister-in-law Fang, not her own.
Meng knew that Liu had brought a box, all of which were prepared for Meng. If he took it out now, Meng would naturally remember the benefits of his mother-in-law.
But now what is taken out is the bracelet that Fang is looking for someone to play, and what Meng needs to remember is the advantage of his sister-in-law.
This is really for the good of the three children, correct the bowl of water at home, there is no omission.
Meng thought about this in the twinkling of an eye, and he didn't feel scared, but thought it was a good thing.
It is much better to have a reasonable mother-in-law than those who are good for you and me and good for everyone.
And Meng's hand movement did not stop, directly took off the jade bracelet, casually put on Qi Ming's hand, and then put on the gold bracelet.
This gold bracelet is far less elegant than the jade bracelet worn by Meng, but look at what Liu is wearing, and look at the gold bracelet Ye Jiao wears on her wrist today, the feeling of the family is still very comfortable.
Liu, on the other hand, looked at the rare third son with a jade bracelet, smiled in his heart and talked about a silly son, while smiling and holding Meng's hand on the face.
In fact, she will not restrain her wife at this time, but also separate people.
At that time, when Fang entered the door, Liu saw that she was a little impractical, so he was more serious so that she could get some temper. Later, when Ye Jiao entered the door, Liu knew that she was pitiful and felt that the child was simple, so she put on some mother-in-law airs, but she was much milder.
Meng is different, smart and clear, and he knows what he should not know, so he is kind and friendly, and many Liu feel that he does not have to worry about it.
After recognizing the person today, Ye Jiao did not go to Qi Mingfu any more.
As they were newlyweds, the Privy Council also gave Qi Ming a lot of holidays so that he could enjoy this time, so that Ye Jiao would not disturb him. In addition, Qi Yun's business was a little bigger these days, and Ye Jiao spent more time reading the ledger.
Qi Yun seemed to have other things to do. He stayed in the study with the manager Qin and often talked until the evening.
Ye Jiao pulled up the iron to read the account for herself.
Now Tiezi is no longer the boy he used to be. in this family, he is still Qi Yun's entourage as before, but when he leaves the house, anyone who sees him will shout "Master Su".
This may be for the sake of Qi Yun's face, but when it comes to skills, there is a lot of iron.
What he can say about these books is reasonable. Ye Jiao has been holding Qi Yun's key to the treasury and needs to have a personal account of his own. Now that Qi Yun is not free, he asks Tiezi to come and help.
This accounting, experts can also see a lot of ways.
Nowadays, Qi Yun is no longer just that rich businessman, but a rich businessman who has been able to rank in the capital.
He is not an official, so he cannot speculate on the current situation by looking at the promotion of officials like Ye Pingrong or Qi Ming.
But when the whole street was full of Qi's signs, anyone could guess that the money in Qi's hands was going to pile up.
Since ancient times, the merchants of the rich but adversarial countries have not come to a good end. Either the money was taken away by the imperial court under an excuse, or it was found that the wrong place was discredited.
It's good to have money, but life won't be easy if you have too much money.
Qi Yun is different. he is not an iron rooster. He keeps part of the money he earns, takes out some of it and puts it back in the store to expand, and will donate the rest.
After all, the imperial court was so large and vast that there was a flood here today and a drought there tomorrow, all asking for money. Qi Yun knew that the imperial court had lost money in several wars recently, so he handed over his money without hesitation.
He knew all about Ye Jiao, and Qi Yun told Ye Jiao the reason for doing so early in order to protect themselves.
What can make Chu Chengyun rest assured is Qi Yun's righteousness. No matter what Qi Erlang asked for at the beginning, up to now, all he has to do is to carry out this kind of concern for the country and the people. If the money is spent, there will still be money, and the other things that can be exchanged are worth it, so there is nothing bad to give up.
Coincidentally, Ye Jiao is a little ginseng who doesn't care about money as long as she doesn't worry about eating and drinking. Xianggong is right, so do it, and never ask more questions.
At this time, she just wrote down the copy that should have been left by her family, then closed the ledger and smiled at Tiezi and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
How dare Tiezi bear this hard work, hurriedly replied: "Madame is polite, this is what I should do."
Ye Jiao smiled, got up and said, "well, the autumn tiger has been hot and cold these two days. I've had some nourishing soup stewed in the kitchenette. You go and drink some, thinking that Xiao Su should be inside now, and ask her to bring you some snacks."
In fact, Tiezi doesn't like soup very much, especially the stewed nourishing soup, no matter how effective it is, it doesn't taste good.
Originally wanted to refuse not tired master, but after hearing the back, Tiezi immediately changed his attitude, respectfully replied: "Yes, I will go."
Ye Jiao nodded and then saw Tiezi jumping away.
This made Ye Jiao a little puzzled. After all, Tiezi had always been calm and seldom so lively, but thinking that Tiezi was young and childish, Ye Jiao didn't ask any more questions, just lowered her head and went on to read the ledger.
After Tiezi went out, he carefully dropped the curtain and then trotted straight into the kitchenette.
When entered the door, saw Xiao Su, who was holding a snack in it.
After seeing him, Xiao Su shouted in surprise: "Brother clank, what's the matter?" Did the master call me? " Then she lost her chopsticks and dashed her head out when she picked up her skirt.
Tiezi quickly reached out and grabbed her and smiled and said, "No, my wife asked me to come over for soup and dessert, and asked you to bring it to me."
Xiao Su said, "Oh," and then turned back and brought over the plate he had put in the middle of the plate and wanted to hand it to him.
But soon put the plate back, picked up the drawer and put it in front of the iron: "eat this."
Tiezi blinked, held his head high and asked her, "are these two different?"
"everything is the same, but this time the quicksand bags are decorated with sesame seeds and shaped like animals. They don't look good. Eat them."
Tiezi:.
Fortunately, Tiezi knew for a long time that the first thing in Xiao Su's heart was always Ye Jiao, and she didn't eat it, so she just took it with a smile, picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ordinary Tiezi's eating and drinking is also in Qi Fu, this snack has not been broken, but in the end, the master and servant are different, the food for the master is different from what he usually eats.
In particular, Tiezi doesn't like sweets originally. When others think the snacks are delicious, he feels sweet and greasy, which is not very tasty.
But this sand bag was served to him by Xiao Su, that is, it is sweeter than honey, and there are a few who eat a few, and they are very beautiful in their hearts.
On the other hand, Xiao Su went to fill him with soup and brought him a full bowl, because the soup was just boiled and a little hot. After putting it down, Xiao Su pinched his ear with his fingers and looked at Tiezi and said, "drink slowly, it's very hot."
Tiezi was just happy, but now he felt distressed when he saw Xiao Su look like this. He quickly pulled Xiao Su's hand and asked her to sit down and said, "Don't be busy, come and have a rest."
Then Tiezi noticed that he had taken the girl's hand, and immediately blushed and hurriedly loosened.
Xiao Su didn't feel anything. They grew up together. Tiezi always protected her. When she was a child, she often went to play hand in hand. At this time, Xiao Su didn't expect to have any taboos with Tiezi.
She just took the pu fan on one side and slowly fanned the soup bowl to make the soup cool faster, while her eyes looked at Tiezi and said, "I just heard that you are going to talk about the ledger to your wife. Brother Jeong, you are really good now. I feel that you are learning better and better."
Others praised him, Tiezi never put it in his heart, but Xiao Su praised him, Tiezi kept laughing, with pride in his voice: "I have been following the master, osmosis, naturally is to learn faster."
Xiao Su nodded, and when Tiezi thought Xiao Su wanted to continue to praise him, he heard Xiao Su say, "me too. My wife taught me a lot. I know a lot about those medicinal flowers, and my wife treats me the best."
As soon as Tiezi heard this, he stuffed another quicksand bag, but his eyes looked at Xiao Su and said nothing.
Xiao Su's temper was straightforward. When he saw him secretly looking at himself, he asked directly, "Brother clank, what do you always look at me for?"
Tiezi hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "then you want to stay with your wife all the time?"
"Yes, it would be nice to keep it all the time." Xiao Su nodded at once.
Tiezi couldn't help choking and quickly reached out and beat his heart. Xiao Su hurriedly wanted to pick up the soup bowl for him, and thinking that the soup was too hot, he picked up the teapot and poured it directly into the iron mouth with the teapot spout.
When he swallowed, Tiezi gasped hard and coughed a few more times, looking a little embarrassed.
Xiao Su patted him on the back and murmured, "Brother Iron, how old are you? you are still in such a hurry to eat."
Tiezi was coughing, and he couldn't help feeling helpless after hearing this.
He is in a hurry, but where is the food in a hurry? It's clear that I'm in a hurry.
Also lost the mood to eat and drink, Tiezi let Xiao Su sit down again, he then solemnly to Xiao Su said: "the lady will not always keep you, before the front yard Lamei sister you still remember?" That is, when you reach your age, you have to go back to find someone to get married. "
When Xiao Su heard this, his smiling face, which was always at ease, showed a little sadness.
Xiao Su, who is not yet enlightened, obviously does not understand why he wants to get married. She just wants to stay with her master for the rest of her life, and it would be better not to go anywhere. if she really goes home, she can live as well as Xiao Su has now, and she can still be the master of her own house, but Xiao Su just doesn't want to leave Ye Jiao. She feels heartache at the thought that she may have to leave in the future.
Tiezi, of course, did not say this to make her sad, and hurriedly continued, "but if you like, wouldn't it be nice to find an ideal husband in your house?"
Xiao Su blinked and looked up, and the iron son with clear eyes wanted to dodge.
However, Tiezi still assumed an awe-inspiring look, as if he had been thinking about Xiao Su, trying not to show any guilt, but he knew in his heart that he had left a trap in his words to see if Xiao Su had entered.
At this time, Xiao Su said, "Brother Jeong, tell me the truth."
"what?"
"do you want to marry me?"
As soon as these words came out, Tiezi almost choked on his own saliva.
Xiao Su just looked at him, his eyes were still clear and his voice was still clear: "Why, am I right?"
At this point, Tiezi had nothing to hide, but nodded, his face was red, his ears were red, and because he had just coughed too hard, his eyes were red.
Look at some grievances.
Instead of coming over to appease him as she did just now, Xiao Su asked, "do you like me?"
Tiezi nodded.
Xiao Su asked, "what if I don't know if I like you?"
Tiezi finally said, "take your time. I'll teach you." He knows that Xiao Su is not yet enlightened. In the end, it is normal for Xiao Su to be young and completely ignorant of the relationship between men and women, but Tiezi is always patient and can always change his heart.
Xiao Su stared at him for a while, then suddenly stood up, without nodding or shaking his head, and went out with the curtain.
This made Tiezi's heart half cold, and the whole person sat there foolishly, motionless, as if he had lost his soul.
He made Xiao Su angry, didn't he?
Come to think of it, anyone will be angry if he is so bold to let others marry him.
But how to make her happy? What if Sister Su really marries someone else in a fit of anger? Does he want to rob a relative? Ride a horse when you rob your marriage, be a little more imposing, but what should you wear? Is it all right to wear red even if you rob relatives?
The ordinary Tiezi, who was clever with Qi Yun, was in disarray at the moment, and his soul seemed to leave his body, and the whole person was at a loss.
Just when Tiezi was thinking about the mess in his head, the curtain was picked open again. Xiao Su walked in, looked at Tiezi in surprise and asked, "what are you doing?" Drink the soup quickly and don't be in a daze. The master has something for you to do. "
Just now Meng came and was talking to Ye Jiao at the moment. The two planned to go for an outing in the suburbs tomorrow. Shi and Dong would also go together.
With that, Xiao Su went over and shook Tiezi's shoulder and asked him to talk to Qi Yun.
But Tiezi just stared at Xiao Su and asked hoarsely, "Xiao Su, are you angry with me?"
Xiao Su was stupefied: "what are you mad at?"
"just now."
When Xiao Su saw that he was about to stop, he remembered what had just happened, so he laughed and said, "nothing, what you are saying is the truth. What am I angry with you for doing?" And you're right. It's the only way I want to stay with my master. It's just that it's better to talk about it directly in the future, which always makes me wonder if it's boring. "
On hearing this, Tiezi knew that Xiao Su was not angry.
I was glad in my heart, but I was also lost. I thought Xiao Su was not ready to accept her love. Tiezi didn't blame her, but blamed herself for being too anxious and frightened others.
But soon Tiezi sorted out his mood, stood up, and asked Xiao Su carefully about Ye Jiao going out with people. After writing it down, he went out to tell Qi Yun.
But as soon as he walked down the steps, he heard Xiao Su's voice from behind: "by the way, Brother Jeong, go and say it, too."
Tiezi couldn't help turning around and asked, "what are you talking about?"
Xiao Su stood in the doorway with a clear voice: "I just said to my wife, I will make an engagement with you when I look for a day."
Tiezi:.
Then, Xiao Su saw Tiezi perform a flat fall, so scared that Xiao Su wanted to help him, but Tiezi rolled and stood up, his face like crying and laughing, but he turned his head and ran away.
The author has something to say: Tiezi: great joy and sorrow come too soon, I …. Bang (fall on the ground)
Xiao Su:? (doubts from an upright girl)
