Chapter 207
When Tiezi went to Qi Yun, Qin had already left.
At this moment, Qi Yun was opening the ledger and looking calm. he only picked up the tea and took a sip once in a while.
Seeing Tiezi coming in, Qi Yun pointed to the food box on the table and said, "Boiled Glutinous Rice Balls in Fermented Glutinous Rice brought by Qin steward, eat it."
Originally, Tiezi wanted to explain clearly to Qi Yun about he Xiao Su, but as soon as Qi Yun said this, he swallowed back what he had just said, sat down at the table, opened the food box, took out Boiled Glutinous Rice Balls in Fermented Glutinous Rice, and ate it in one mouthful.
Just now the quicksand bag was still full, but now Boiled Glutinous Rice Balls in Fermented Glutinous Rice ate it again, making Tiezi feel a little full.
However, when he could let go of his own business, he still had to talk about the master, so Tiezi swallowed the round son in his mouth and told Qi Yun that Ye Jiao was going out.
Qi Yun nodded, looking flat and not surprised. "it would be nice to go out for a walk," Qi Yun said. "when you tell me in front of you, take a few more people, and don't be tired to the Niang Niang."
If Ye Jiao wanted to go out alone, Qi Yun would certainly follow. In the past, he was not fit to walk around, but now Qi Yun is much healthier, so he always picks up Ye Jiao.
However, if someone accompanied Ye Jiao, Qi Yun seldom went out with him, even if he wanted to follow him, but Qi Erlang also knew that he should give his wife some of his own time.
Tiezi answered, looked down at the bowl he had eaten, hesitated and stood up.
Qi Yun saw that Tiezi had something to say, so he closed his account book and looked at Tiezi and said, "if you have something to say, don't hesitate."
Tiezi naturally knew Qi Yun's temper and said, "Master, I want to marry Xiao Su."
As soon as Qi Yun heard the words, he obviously didn't realize that he was waiting for such a sentence. He couldn't help looking up at Tiezi and asked, "have you discussed this with Xiao Su?"
This reminds Tiezi of what just happened. He just fell to his knee and felt a dull pain, but his face was full of smiles: "as I said, my wife knows that, too."
Although Qi Erlang is not a master in the love field, he has never thought about the love between men and women, but he knows Tiezi and Xiao Su. After a little thought, he said, "Xiao Su is young and accustomed to listening to you. She believes what you say." these things are not counted by her nod alone, but she has to nod her head. "
In Qi Yun's view, Xiao Su's eyes are full of only her own wife, even if Tiezi has been single-mindedly in love with her for so many years, Xiao Su can't see it.
As for what was said between the two, Qi Yun did not ask, because he knew that they were a good match, the iron character was good, and Xiao Su was crisp and simple, which was naturally a good thing, but Qi Yun would not nod for Ye Jiao.
He looked at Tiezi and said slowly, "Niao Niang has always loved Xiao Su, just like a sister, even if she can let go of other things, but the marriage event, Jiao Niang will certainly give Xiao Su a careful look at each other." If you really want to, treat her well, and I'll agree to anything when my wife nods. "
Tiezi didn't feel lost when he heard this, because he knew that Qi Yun and Ye Jiao were thinking about Xiao Su. In the final analysis, the woman was always more passive in the matter of marriage. Even if Qi Jing believed him, she would not fill her mouth with words.
Since it is for the good of Xiao Su, Tiezi is also happy.
And in his opinion, as long as Xiao Su doesn't marry someone else, this is excellent, and it's okay to wait a little longer.
Tiezi agreed with a smile, then made a salute and ran out to prepare Ye Jiao's carriage for going out.
When Ye Jiao saw Tiezi the next day, she didn't mention it. She looked at Tiezi carefully, then turned around to look at Xiao Su, and then let Tiezi go back to wait on Qi Yun. She just pulled Xiao Su's hand into the carriage.
In the carriage, the passenger was Meng.
Since Meng and Qi Ming got married, they had a good life of mixing oil in honey, but even though they were a bunch of couples who knew each other, they could not do nothing. After a few days, Qi Ming would go back to work in the Yamen, and Meng would also begin to be in charge of family affairs.
Even now Qi Fu and Liu Shi are still there, but the two elders have never interfered in his son's family affairs and completely regard himself as a temporary resident. He can be happy every day. Even if Meng asks Liu how to be the housekeeper, Liu only smiles and says a few words. Specific things never interfere.
This made Meng relaxed, but he had to work harder, and he had to take care of all kinds of houses on his own.
Fortunately, when he was in the Meng family, Meng was in charge of the family, but now he was just using what he had learned before. in addition, the population of the house after Qi Ming was simple, and his servants were all in the palm of his eyes. Meng was very good at it very quickly.
After getting a little familiar with it, the first thing she did was to see Ye Jiao.
With a smile on his face and a woman's hair in a bun, Meng Wensheng said, "I haven't seen the wife of the Dong family yet. My sister-in-law is familiar with her, so I think she is an easy person to get along with."
Ye Jiao nodded and smiled and said, "she, Lan, is very refreshing and transparent, and she is in the business of medicinal materials. She has just arrived, and it is rare to make first-hand good tea."
Meng smiled and nodded, then got up slightly, sat down next to Ye Jiao, took Ye Jiao's hand and talked to her.
Although the two have known each other before, but at that time, the relationship is not close, but now it is different, they are married, naturally they have to be more intimate.
Ye Jiao also smiled and went to her. When she waited for the carriage, Ye Jiao said, "Let's throw the pot together. You are making rapid progress now. You don't know who loses and who wins."
Meng smiled softly: "of course it's my sister-in-law. I'm still early."
"you just know how to fool me."
"Zhi Lan is all from the bottom of her heart."
Ye Jiao smiled and pulled her out of the carriage, and the two walked towards the pavilion together.
The scenery here is very good, at a glance is a maple leaf fiery red, like burning the sky in general, and the pavilion is in the maple forest, the layout is particularly elegant.
Because this is the backyard of Zhuangzi bought by Qi Yun, there is no outsider coming, so it is very clean.
Shi and Dong were already sitting inside, and when they saw Ye Jiao and Meng coming, they got up and smiled and beckoned them to go in and sit down.
At this time, Dong's tea had already been placed on the table. After seeing the ceremony respectively, Meng picked it up and took a sip. He only felt that his mouth was full of fragrance. In addition to the fragrance of tea, there was also the fragrance of flowers, which was particularly good in the mouth.
Among several people, Meng Shi was always intelligent, while Dong was the wife of a merchant, and she was used to watching what she said. Although Ye Jiao treated others with sincerity and never covered up, the other three liked her very much. They were all kind and angry when they spoke, and soon became hot.
Ye Jiao brought a box of snacks, which goes well with the flower-scented tea.
Naturally, someone came to arrange things for throwing pots, and in the pavilion, Shi mentioned, "there has been no war in the court these days. I think I can be idle for a while."
Liu Rong is in the Ministry of War and Qi Ming is in the Privy Council. If the court is safe and free from war, it will be a good thing for them.
The business of Qi Yun and Fang Li also needs peace in the world to do easily, and the more stable the better.
Meng smiled and nodded and said in a warm voice, "this is excellent. When they are idle, we can relax more quickly. Even if we don't worry, it is a good thing that we can get together more often."
As soon as these words came out, several ladies nodded.
To them, the husband and the family are important, but people all need some relaxing time, and they always have their own time.
Ye Jiao thought of something and looked at Shi Shi and said, "I went to your orchard to see you last time. I didn't see it. I said you left in a hurry, but what's the trouble?"
Shi smiled, took Ye Jiao's hand and said, "I have my eye on a new Zhuangzi and am ready to buy it. now there are a lot of goods coming and going, so I want to buy a new Chuang Tzu and take good care of the fruit sold." now the only thing you can do is to eat it and give it away. "
Ye Jiao is not a woman who doesn't know anything. She has been with Qi Yun for a long time, and she can also understand a little about this business. After hearing the words, she guessed, "but you are looking for Chuang Tzu, who faces the river?"
Shi nodded and said, "well, I should be looking for Linhe."
Although Shi's orchard now also depends on the river, there is still some distance and it is difficult to carry. Even with the help of boats on Qi Yun's river, the land still depends on chariots and horses.
In the past, Shi only wanted to set up the orchard and support herself, but now she is going to get married, even if Liu Rong's salary is enough, but it is probably because people want to start a family, so it is for men and women. Originally, they just wanted to have nothing to do, but now Shi wants to run it well.
She fell in love with a Zhuangzi near the river.
When she saw that Ye Jiao was about to open her mouth, Shi smiled and said in a warm voice, "you don't have to bother Niang Niang about this. I've already found Zhuangzi, that is, the right doctor Wu's family. Now the whole family has another place to go, and when this place is available, I went to buy it."
Dong and Shi have met several times, and Dong is also a man who will come. He has heard almost all the things in the capital. He speculates in his heart, but he smiles on his face and says, "this is a good thing. It should be served with wine."
Ye Jiao said with a smile, "good tea is fine."
Dong smiled and poured another cup for Ye Jiao.
Hearing them mention Dr. Youwu, Meng had some feelings.
In fact, she has long known Shi, even though she was only a merchant's wife before, but Shi is a good dancer with long sleeves and a good person, and she can often see her at some tea parties.
But at that time, Meng felt that she was just a woman who had been honed at home, and she was decisive enough, but she didn't think much about it.
Even later on the wedding day, when the wife said that Shi had denounced Dr. Youwu's daughters to his face, Meng didn't expect any follow-up.
Not until a few days ago, when Dr. Youwu's family was defeated, did Meng know how powerful Shi was.
The woman looked light and light, but it was unusual for her to be true to her word and determined.
Meng couldn't help looking at Ye Jiao and felt that her sister-in-law seemed to be simple and kind, and there was no difference, but if you look closely, whether it is the Queen Meng, the intelligent and cheerful Princess Huanning, or the exquisite Dong, or the determined Shi in front of her, or Meng herself, Ye Jiao's friends come together and look at Ye Jiao.
They all have their own plans, which seem to be engraved into their bones, but Ye Jiao is different. she lives at ease, but she is very transparent and attractive.
Meng couldn't help laughing and took Ye Jiao to throw the pot.
When playing, Meng put aside his instinctive thoughts and plans, and he was happier than ever before, just talking and joking with Ye Jiao.
For a few days, Meng would go to look for Ye Jiao, sometimes to see maple leaves and enjoy chrysanthemums, and sometimes just to sit on Qi Ye's mansion and look at her three children and talk with Ye Jiao.
But this makes Qi Ming a little helpless.
The newlyweds of other couples can't get together in one place, but their own wife is very stable. It's not that Meng doesn't like him. On the contrary, Meng is very happy with him, but because of this joy, he wants to help Qi Ming take care of everything.
This makes Meng often have to look at the account books or ask the housekeeper when he is at home. Finally, when he has free time, he has to go out to talk to Ye Jiao.
Qi Ming took advantage of just after dinner, and before Meng went to read the books, he reached out and gently grabbed Meng's wrist.
Meng's face flushed, even if something closer had been done, but Meng was still a little shy. He could not help but earn it gently and whispered, "what are you doing?"
Qi Ming was also young, and he was a little embarrassed, but he leaned over and said to Meng, "my wife, I'll take a break tomorrow. Why don't you leave me one day and let's go to see the maple leaves together?"
As a matter of fact, Meng has already seen all the maple leaves, and there is nothing new to see them again.
But what he did with Qi Ming was different. Meng nodded and smiled with some joy.
At this time, Meng took out a purse from his sleeve and hesitated for a moment. First he sent it to Qi Ming, but he quickly took it back.
This made Qi Ming a little curious, so he reached out and took it, turned it over, and saw that the red maple leaves were embroidered on it.
It's just that ordinary lotus Qiming can be regarded as seeing a lot, but this is the first time to see such a rough embroidery.
Open it, you can see inside is stuffed with a variety of petals, asking the fragrance to the nostrils, but also vaguely with the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.
He couldn't help looking at Meng and asked, "is this done by Elaine?"
Meng hesitated and nodded.
In fact, she has done it for a long time, and she embroidered the maple leaves above, but Meng five girls are good at everything, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems and songs are all unknown, but the needle and thread is general, they can't do this well since childhood, and they are afraid of showing timidity, so they seldom embroider.
This time, because Ye Jiao and Dong both knew about medicinal materials, they said that they wanted to keep their bodies in autumn and gave her some petals of medicinal materials, saying that it was good for her to carry them with her. Meng made a purse and put the petals in it as a sachet to give to Qi Ming.
But it is because the embroidery is not good-looking, Meng has been afraid to take out.
Now saw Qi Ming holding his purse in a daze. Meng thought he was disgusted, so he pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to grab it, but he saw Qi Ming hide away for fear that Meng would go back on his promise and put on his purse neatly.
After wearing it, he smiled at Meng and said, "good, I also have something made by my wife. I used to only look at the hot eyes of the second brother and brother Xiao, but now I have pain, too."
As soon as these words came out, Meng understood Qi Ming's mind, and his face was even redder, but now the woman, who had always been calm and clever, could not say a word. She just stared at him, thinking that he would not read the books tonight, and it would be a pleasure to help him study ink while he was studying.
At this time, Ye Jiao was also using petals, but instead of stuffing her purse, she sprinkled it directly in the bathtub.
Behind the screen, there was still a dense heat on the bathtub. Ye Jiao was rolling up her sleeves while sprinkling: "my husband, you are weak. There are two kinds of medicinal herbs that are a little stronger. You have to put them in the bathtub later so that they can be smoked before they can be absorbed."
Qi Yun, who had always trusted Ye Jiao's medical skills, nodded and looked up at the faint figure behind the screen. "I wrote it down, Jiao Niang, you wash first, and I'll wait for you," he said. "
Ye Jiao answered, then put the basket aside, took off her clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.
On the other hand, Qi Yun immediately bowed his head, coughed and calmed down, and then said, "what did you think about Xiao Su before?"
Ye Jiao lifted the water with a cloth towel and smelled and said, "Xiao Su is becoming more and more like me. She is convinced in her heart that she will say it in her mouth. She is willing, and I will not object to it, but I still have to wait. Mo Ma said that Xiao Su is still young. I won't be safe until I get married in two years."
Qi Yun thought this was reasonable, so he came down and talked about another thing: "the shipyard is almost ready, and after a while, the shipbuilding will try to go to sea, and then the court will give it a lot of convenience and safer."
Ye Jiao in the screen blinked and knew it was a big deal.
Qi Yun has always wanted to expand his business, but commerce in this country is developed, and ordinary industries are being done by some people. It is not easy to snatch food from others, so he can only think of another way out.
The vast sea is where Qi Yun wants to explore.
It is rare that he did not know when he got Chu Chengyun's support, and with the consent of the emperor, the deal was a sure bet.
Ye Jiao was about to speak when she listened to Qi Yun and said, "this time I'm just trying to catch some seafood. I think I'll have something fresh to eat after a while."
The little ginseng couldn't help laughing and his voice was soft and waxy: "such a big thing, Xianggong, it's like you're just trying to add a dish for me."
Unexpectedly, Qi Yun's voice soon came in from the other side of the screen: "what the lady likes is a big thing, so I will naturally try my best."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jiao lost her voice.
Qi Yun thought she was concentrating on taking a bath and was not going to disturb her, but just then he heard the sound of water, and then he saw Ye Jiao lying on the edge of the bathtub, looking out of the screen, and then smiling, "Xiang Gong, where are the children?"
Although Qi Erlang did not know what she asked the children what they were doing, he immediately replied, "Stone has fallen asleep and Ruyi stayed with his mother. Ning Bao and Xubao have been playing with Xiao Wang Ye for a long time today."
Ye Jiao gave a "um", but still looked at him, revealing only a pair of clear eyes and a soft voice: "Xianggong, you come."
Qi Yun buckled the book he was looking at on the table, got up and walked behind the screen: "but do you want to wipe your back?". Niang Niang, why are you pulling my clothes? "
"can't we wash it together? You also need to soak the left and right petals. I'll help you. "
"but."
"Hmm?"
"I mean, of course, of course."
And these petals are useful, especially when steamed with hot steam and an appropriate amount of exercise to invigorate the body and mind, it seems to be absorbed more and more.
It's just that this method is too tired, and the little ginseng thinks that he should be more careful in the future.
A few days later, it was Ye Jiao's birthday.
