Lady Of Fortune Jiao Niang - Chapter 193

Qi Yun only knew one who could be called the third son, and that was the one above the dragon chair.

This made Qi Yun a little surprised. Ye Jiao didn’t quite understand. He pulled Qi Yun’s arm and asked: “Why is he here?” Empress Meng had a very good relationship with the Qi family, and she did not go out of the palace to come to his house. On the contrary, Chu Chengyun came to the door and always felt something was wrong.

Qi Yun patted the back of Ye Jiao’s hand and said slowly: “Why don’t you, he always came out to have tea with Saburo before, the world belongs to him, and he can do whatever he wants.”

Ye Jiao felt that it made sense, so she stopped asking more and let go of Qi Yun.

After Qi Yun left with Tiezi, Xiao Su walked over quickly, fanning Ye Jiao with the fan, and said: “Second young lady, do you want to return?”

Ye Jiao stood up, stretched out her hand to pull the slight folds on her sleeves, and said with a smile: “Nothing left and right, let’s go and see the medicinal flowers. I think there should be a lot of them blooming in the days. The basin is well opened and sent to Hui Niang.”

Xiao Su responded and handed the Tuan Fan to the woman aside, and then picked up the paper umbrella to hold it up to help Ye Jiao block the sun, and then walked towards the medicinal plant garden.

And even though Qi Yun had just comforted Ye Jiao, he was still a little confused.

Chu Chengyun often went out of the palace, but his place was always Qi Ming’s small courtyard, or else it was a tea shop and wine shop, but he had never been to Qi Mansion.

This person would never go to his house for no reason. Qi Yun wondered what Chu Chengyun’s purpose was on the way to the front hall. He could only deal with it if he guessed it early. A bend, when he saw Chu Chengyun, Qi Yun didn’t have much expression on his face.

Perhaps thinking too much will make his mind clearer, but Qi Yun is calm now.

Before entering the door, he greeted Tiezi to come over and whispered: “Put a pot of Mingqian Longjing, remember to skim the first bubble, and bring it up carefully.”

Tiezi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his voice: “Second Young Master, I’ve heard Guan Shi Qin say that what we got in Longjing before tomorrow is very early, so we can’t take it out easily, so as not to cause disaster.”

This is not Guanshi Qin’s random suspicion, but there are so many powerful people in this capital that they think too much.

Even if it’s just a small tea, you can get it for a merchant’s house, but they don’t. This will be hateful.

It is ridiculous to hate others for this reason, but in reality, there is no way. It is not easy to be in the capital, not only because the land is expensive here, and it is difficult to make a living, but also because there are more powerful and powerful.

Even if you don’t take the initiative to offend people, you will get resentment in the details.

However, Qi Yun stretched out his hand and bent his index finger, tapped on Tiezi’s forehead, and said faintly: “Who is that person inside, what do we usually do you think he really doesn’t know?”

Tiezi held his forehead and was taken aback when he heard the words.

Then Qi Yun went on to say: “If I serve him with good tea, it should be divided. If I serve him with rough tea and drink it myself, then it will be bullying.”

Qi Yun knew that Chu Chengyun might not be able to know the affairs of the world, but he would know everything in the capital.

If the place of the imperial palace cannot be fully grasped, then the emperor has nothing to do with it.

Tie Zi also realized that he had said the wrong thing, sweating on his forehead, and nodding his head repeatedly.

Qi Yun didn’t punish him. He just said, “You will remember that for a businessman, he is always frank and stupid, but when he treats such a celestial nobleman, deliberately and deceiving him is unlucky.” Voice Pause slightly, “As for how to benefit from this, it depends on how you hold your own scale.”

Tiezi nodded again, thinking that it would be good if he did the first half first.

As for the second half… he is still far from the realm of his own young master who can get from the empty glove emperor, take his time.

Tie Zi ran to make tea, Qi Yun straightened his clothes, and then stepped into the front hall.

Because Qi Erlang had known Chu Chengyun a long time ago, he had seen this person no matter what he looked like, and now he can’t show the horror of ordinary people when they see the queen, he just bowed his hands and said, “Caomin doesn’t know if your majesty will arrive, but hope… ”

“Okay, Erlang and I don’t want so much politeness.” Chu Chengyun smiled and raised his hand, motioning Qi Yun to sit down.

In Chu Chengyun’s heart, this Qi Jia Erlang has always been deserted. Although he looks a little indifferent, he always keeps his family and the world in his heart. As a merchant, he never does anything unkind, whether it is a caravan. The thing was to provide relief to the disaster, and Qi Yun was like a red hermit in Chu Chengyun’s heart, the most benevolent.

Once this first impression is established, it is difficult to change, and it makes Chu Chengyun more pleasing to him as he looks at him.

Qi Yun was also different from him, and sat opposite Chu Chengyun.

Chu Chengyun didn’t go in circles either, and directly said, “I am here today for family affairs.”

Qi Yun raised his eyes to look at him, and then said, “Your Majesty is talking about Saburo’s marriage?”

Chu Chengyun smiled and nodded: “Exactly, now the Meng family is very satisfied with Saburo. Before that, he made a special trip to the palace and found the queen. Speaking of this marriage, I came to ask when it could be settled.”

Qi Yun’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little emotional in his heart. He only felt that his Saburo had a lot of face, and said that his relatives actually asked the labor emperor to visit himself.

However, there is also the meaning of Empress Meng in this fear. Chu Chengyun has always respected Empress Meng, and now Empress Meng is married to her sister, and it can be regarded as a family affair if he comes to see and see.

So Qi Yun lost all his previous worries, and just said slowly: “I told my parents before that the second elder especially liked the character of Mengwu girl, and he valued this marriage very seriously. I heard that your majesty guaranteed it. The media was even more overjoyed. He had prepared the betrothal gift early, thinking about when his Majesty’s will came down, he would enter Beijing and prepare the things for marriage according to the custom.”

After saying that, Qi Yun asked someone to serve tea, but he casually glanced at Chu Chengyun, and he saw this man smile.

In fact, since the relationship between Qi Ming and Meng Wu girl has reached a tacit agreement, even if the two elders of the Qi family are unwilling, it is okay for the emperor to give orders. If you don’t listen, you must listen. Moreover, this is the Qi family. How could the two elders be unwilling?

But Chu Chengyun just wanted to hear this thank you.

No matter how he grasped the court situation in the dragon chair, how many calculations and strategies he had in his heart, but his character has not changed, he is still a good-hearted person.

He can distinguish right from wrong, so he judges the affairs of the DPRK and the favor of people.

Qi Yun was a good person he identified, and his mind was not so deep. At this moment, listening to Qi Yun’s words of gratitude, Chu Chengyun was naturally happy.

That is to say, knowing Chu Chengyun’s temper, Qi Yun said such a thing.

Qi Jia Erlang smiled faintly, thinking in his heart how to write to the Qi Jia Erlang to invite them to Beijing.

Someone came in with tea at this moment. Chu Chengyun took a sip of the tea, and he knew that it was the best Longjing before Ming Dynasty, that is, the tea picked before the Qingming Festival. At this time, the Longjing tea is the most delicate and the tea soup is clear. Gan, you know it is a treasure in tea.

Although not comparable to the tribute in the palace, it is also an excellent entrance.

Chu Chengyun drank a lot of tea, but the tea was fresh. Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was really delicious. Even if it was not a rare thing in Chu Chengyun’s eyes, the taste was clear enough to make him sigh:” It’s good tea, it’s really fresh.”

Qi Yun said in a calm tone: “If your Majesty likes it, I will ask someone to pack some for you to take away.”

This made Chu Chengyun a little curious: “You probably didn’t buy this tea.”

Qi Yun was waiting for these words. His expression was still and his expression was calm. He looked at Chu Chengyun and said, “I have a tea plantation in the south, and this is the tea produced there. It is naturally faster to take the waterway, and it will carry The volume is also large. The stone and wood I used to build bridges in my hometown were transported by water.”

Chu Chengyun knew that Qi Yun was paving the way for the bridge in his hometown. Hearing it from him at this moment, the smile on his face deepened. He felt that this person was indeed a benevolent person.

However, Chu Chengyun is more concerned about the waterway: “In this way, this water transportation can not only warn of floods, but also carry passengers and people, it seems that it has more uses.”

Qi Yun nodded: “Exactly, if more ports can be built, the water transport will be more developed if you want to come, and no one knows what the river flows into the sea and what it looks like on the other side of the sea.”

When Chu Chengyun heard the words and calculated it in his heart, he felt that the words made sense.

Although there are water transportation yamen and many ships in the imperial court, most people are transported and a lot of goods are transported by water. However, because the construction of ships is time-consuming and laborious, land transportation is relatively more frequent.

Now if it is true that, as Qi Yun said, the ships used by civilian water can be used so quickly, then increasing the water transport construction is naturally a good thing for the country and the people.

In the past, the imperial court did not interfere much, it was to benefit the people, rather than let the official family monopolize it.

The ability to increase water transport construction now is an excellent thing for both the court and the people.

There is also the sea…

The more Chu Chengyun thought about it, the brighter his eyes, and when he looked at Qi Yun, it was as if he saw a golden lump: “Erlang ah Erlang, if you can enter the court as an official, how good it would be.”

Qi Yun smiled and said: “The grass-minded people can’t bear it. They can only live longer in the market. I hope your majesty has mercy.”

Chu Chengyun just sighed, and didn’t force it, so he stopped mentioning it. Instead, he talked about water transport with Qi Yun enthusiastically.

However, the Tiezi on the side stared at his second young master for several times, his eyes were first confused, then clear.

Originally, Tiezi didn’t quite understand why Qi Yun had to specifically ask him to make tea, but now it is clear. From the beginning, Qi Yun had thought to find Chu Chengyun about shipping goods by water.

Sure enough, every time I see this third son, I have to gain something. The second young master of my own family tells the thief not to go empty… No, it is a good plan.

And Chu Chengyun picked up the tea cup again, took a sip, put it aside, and talked about: “When your second elder comes to Beijing, you have to tell the Meng family that the two parents always have to meet.”

Qi Yun replied, put the tea cup aside, and replied: “Days are easy to say, now that the river is open, the waterway is naturally faster, but after bringing my parents to Beijing, I still have to live in my house first, Saburo’s The yard can still be lived by itself, and other people will seem crowded.”

Chu Chengyun smiled and said, “Isn’t that your yard?”

When Qi Yun heard it, he knew that Chu Chengyun knew about it when he bought the yard and rented it to Qi Ming, but this is because he cared for his brother, and there was nothing shameless, so he calmly replied: “Your Majesty laughed, that yard It is indeed a little smaller, in the future…”

Having said this, Qi Yun paused and thought of another thing.

Since it is to marry Qi Ming and marry someone else’s girl, then this house still has to be bought.

The yard that Qi Ming lives in nowadays doesn’t mention who it belongs to. He can’t manage the marriage just by the size. He usually makes do with it by himself. Now he wants to marry the girl from the Meng family. This is a girl from a wealthy family. , I’m afraid that Qi Ming’s current courtyard is not big enough. Since he is married, he shouldn’t do anything about reminiscing about bitterness. It is always inappropriate for people to suffer and suffer.

However, Qi Ming’s current salary is obviously unable to afford a mansion.

Qi Yun thought, otherwise, he would spend his own money to buy a larger one for his third brother?

But every inch of land in this capital city has its own owner, and it is not easy to find a ready-made house.

Chu Chengyun seemed to see Qi Yun’s thoughts, and said: “You don’t need to handle the affairs of the house. Saburo and Xiao Yuanbai have come up with a good idea for me. I will give him a house someday. At that time, the land deeds of your ten shops will also be handed over to you.”

When Qi Yun heard this, he got up and saluted and thanked him, but his heart sank.

Chu Chengyun treated Qi Ming well, but he was not a temper that would reward things for no reason.

This person made an understatement, but he was afraid it was not simple.

However, Qi Yun did not ask much when it came to the affairs of the court. After speaking a few more words with Chu Chengyun, Chu Chengyun left Qi Mansion with others.

After Qi Yun sent him out, he returned and sat in the front hall for a long time, until the tea was cold before he got up.

Tie Zi stood aside, seeing that Qi Yun had no intention of leaving, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

At this time, Qi Yun said: “Do you have something to ask me?”

Tie Zi shook his head first, then nodded, and said, “Second Young Master, I don’t quite understand why I want to talk to the emperor about water transportation.”

Today, the biggest one who can do waterway business is the Qi family.

It’s easy to say, but if you want to do this business well, in addition to running a good ship business, you also need to buy a lot of shipbuilding shops. I don’t know how much money is spent in the middle.

Now that he finally saw some gains, Qi Yun stabbed Chu Chengyun lightly, and also took the initiative to tell Chu Chengyun many facts.

Isn’t this just giving the money in hand to the heavenly family?

Qi Yun stood up and walked out to the promenade, saying: “You can think of this. It’s not bad. I didn’t look at the previous accounts for nothing. I know how much money each shop in my family makes now.”

Tiezi won the compliment but did not raise his tail. He has been with Qi Yun for many years, knowing Qi Yun’s temper.

This compliment is often followed by percussion.

Sure enough, Qi Yun changed his mouth and said, “But, you just wrote down the accounts, but you didn’t care.”

Tiezi is always eager to learn. Speaking of him, he is the little boy next to Qi Yun, but Qi Yun has always trained him like an apprentice. At this moment, Tiezi’s face changed and he bowed his head obediently: “I still hope The second young master is puzzled.”

Qi Yun’s voice was flat: “If you look carefully, you can compare it. Although the profits of this waterway are large, this month is 30% less than this time last year.”

Tiezi couldn’t help but recalled, nodded, then frowned.

How could it be less?

This business has always grown bigger and bigger, unless it is because the financial path is broken, otherwise there is no reason to do more and more go back.

In the end, Caoyun was smaller than before. It was okay not to mention it. Now when Qi Yun mentioned it, Tiezi could also perceive the unusual inside.

Qi Yun didn’t need him to guess randomly, and said directly: “The accounts are abnormal, naturally there is a reason. I wrote to the shopkeeper Wei who is in charge of the water transportation. He said that it’s because of the recent occurrence of water pirates and there will be hijacks from time to time The emergence of gangsters of merchant ships interfered with the original operations.”

Tie Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted, saying: “The second young master meant that this time I found… that person, actually to find a shelter for our voice?”

Qi Yun nodded, with a flat voice: “Because the court did not pay attention to it, this gave ordinary merchants the opportunity to make money. Now it is impossible to get the blessing of the court and not let profit.”

Because the court encouraged merchants, there were mostly merchant ships on this waterway. The court only collected taxes and set up water transportation yamen to provide protection, but the others did not interfere. This gave the Qi family the opportunity to take away the ships and shops relatively easily.

But because of this, the water pirate focused on the Qi family, and Qi Yun didn’t want to go into the details as to why his family was at a disadvantage.

It is common sense that the people do not fight with officials.

But the faculty can’t fight the Heavenly Family, it just depends on their courage.

Qi Yun simply finds a backer, and finds the biggest one. It’s better to get it right in one step than to suffer everywhere.

Tiezi suddenly felt bright, with a smile on his face, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was worthwhile.

But Qi Yun didn’t look much joyful, he was thinking about things in his heart, and his expression was much calmer.

When he returned to the room, as soon as he opened the door, Qi Yun heard Xu Bao’s voice: “Mother, what do you want to hear? Xu Bao will tell you.”

As soon as he said this, Qi Yun stopped.

Qi Erlang in this family has nothing to fear, Dudu is a little afraid of his son.

It’s not how scary Xu Bao is, but Xu Bao, a little bookworm, not only likes to read, but also likes to read with others.

Especially when he met Qi Yun, Xu Bao had always held Qi Yun’s legs to prevent him from leaving, and had to let Qi Yun study for him before he would give up.

Normally Xu Bao wouldn’t bother his mother with reading, but today, Long and Feng’s fetus hasn’t woken up yet. Feng Xiucai’s rest is not good to disturb today. Stone went to the academy again, and Xu Bao found Ye Jiao.

Although the little ginseng can read books such as the pharmacopoeia of medical classics even if he can read the word, Ye Jiao always reads what he needs.

It was related to medicine for the future happiness of her and Qi Yun.

Those with pictures and pictures… can be considered for happiness.

However, Ye Jiao never reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and she does not need to rely on fame, and she has no interest in these. Now, when Xu Bao said, Ye Jiao is not willing to refuse her own good treasure, but she doesn’t know to let him recite. what.

After thinking for a while, remembering the Peony I went to see with Hua Ning and Shi, Ye Jiao put Xu Bao on her lap and said softly: “Then, Xu Bao will carry something related to Peony. Poems, okay?”

“it is good!”

The children next to him were so afraid that they would be pulled out by their parents to recite poems and compositions, but Xu Bao straightened up his chest when it was like this, with a happy face.

He blurted out without thinking: “The flower grows on the glazed ground, and the breeze turns to Ziyunying. Since I saw it in the celestial table, it has been more clear to the eyes.”

Ye Jiao blinked and couldn’t help asking, “Where is the peony?”

Xu Bao leaned against Ye Jiao’s arms and said softly, “Zi Yunying is talking about peony.”

“What do the last two sentences mean?”

“What I said is that peony flowers are more beautiful than fairies in the sky.”

Ye Jiao couldn’t help but smile, and squeezed Xu Bao’s face: “Xu Bao has seen a fairy?”

Xu Bao raised his face with a smile, letting Ye Jiao knead, and said in his mouth: “I haven’t seen it, but Xu Bao knows that no matter how good-looking fairies are, they won’t look as good as a mother.”

Ye Jiao couldn’t stop the smile that he coaxed. She hugged Xu Bao and kissed him **** his forehead, making Xu Bao laugh, as if she was embarrassed, and buried her face in Ye. Can’t get up in Jiao’s arms.

This made Qi Yun look helpless while standing inside and outside.

He knew that Xu Bao studied a lot, and he also knew that Xu Bao liked to stick to Ye Jiao, but Qi Yun did not expect that his eldest son would have such a sweet mouth.

Who does this follow? Obviously Qi Erlang felt that he couldn’t say such a thing.

When he entered the door, Ye Jiao smiled and shouted, “Miangong.” As a result, Xu Bao raised his face before Qi Yun responded.

Without Ye Jiao’s help, he climbed down from Ye Jiao’s lap, stood firmly on the ground, ran to Qi Yun with his short legs, and hugged Qi Yun. The calf, his face held up crisply, said: “Daddy, Daddy, read a book!”

Qi Yun:…

The caught Qi Yun didn’t want to agree, but seeing Ye Jiao staring at him, Qi Yun changed his mind.

Bend down and hugged Xu Bao, and led him to sit on the soft couch. Qi Yun looked at Ye Jiao, who was looking at him with one hand on his face, and at Xu Bao, who was looking at him with big eyes. Erlang felt that Xu Bao’s eyes looked like Ye Jiao, his heart softened, and his mouth was like, “What does Xu Bao want to hear?”

“”Song of Five Sons”!”

Qi Yun was a little surprised when he heard it. This is an article in “Shang Shu”. Even when Qi Yun was a child, he was about eight years old when he read this. He didn’t expect his son to have read it here when he was only six. .

This made Qi Erlang interested, he hugged Xu Bao tighter, and said: “Then I will say something, Xu Bao will remember one sentence, okay?”

Xu Bao nodded immediately and smiled happily.

Then Qi Yun read to him, and Ye Jiao listened to him. When Qi Yun was studying, he not only talked about articles, but also told many stories related to the articles, which didn’t sound obscure. It’s funny and humorous, and Ye Jiao likes to listen.

It took more than an hour to say that. Xu Bao hadn’t finished listening when the stone came back home from the school.

Ordinary stones always go to the swing stand to find Xu Bao. Xu Bao especially likes this swing stand. Every evening, he puts down his books and comes out to play, saying that he can sit on the swing and fly high. It is better to see the clouds in the evening.

But this time Stone did not find Xu Bao on the swing stand.

He turned his head and looked at the oil paper bag Qingfeng was holding. It contained the snack he brought Xu Bao. After hesitating, he said in a stone: “Go, let me go and talk to the second aunt.”

Qingfeng responded and followed behind the stone.

After walking through the corridor, you came to the outside of the courtyard. After the stone entered, the iron guard at the door did not stop him, just dodge to let him in.

Stone stepped through the door, and just about to speak, he heard Qi Yun’s voice from the inner chamber: “There are codes and rules, to benefit the descendants. Guan Shi and Jun…”

This made Shishi’s scalp numb and stopped.

Seeing him, Xiao Su walked over and smiled and said, “Master Stone, but came to see Master Xu?”

Shishi nodded, motionless, just stretched out his hand and pointed inside: “Second Uncle and Xu Bao are in it?”

“here I am.”

“How about reading?”

“Yes indeed.”

When I heard the stone, my face felt a little distressed.

In order to give an explanation to Qi Zhao, Qi Yun has always been very strict with the homework of grasping stones, and he has been particularly merciless in the examination.

Shishi did not expect that his second uncle would treat Xu Bao so harshly… He didn’t learn this paragraph…

I was full of sympathy for Xu Bao, but the stone didn’t dare to go in. He just stuffed Xiaosu with the oil paper wrapper, and threw down the sentence: “Remember to give Xu Bao brother.” Then he pulled Qingfeng away.

Xiao Su felt in a daze that this scene had appeared before, but couldn’t remember when it was, so she just shook her head, wrapped the oil paper on the table, and closed the door gently, without disturbing the family of three inside.

In the room, Qi Yun said that after completing the paragraph, he picked up Chazhan and moistened his throat. Xu Bao had already closed his eyes and silently recited the article just now, but Ye Jiao, his eyes brightened when he looked at Qi Yun, and his smile was soft. very.

Qi Yun couldn’t help asking: “What is the Jiao Niang looking at?”

Ye Jiao moved to Qi Yun’s side, reached out and took Qi Yun’s arm, and said with a smile: “Look at Xiang Gong, Xiang Gong is pretty.”

Qi Yun didn’t know why Ye Jiao said such a sentence, so he looked down at her and asked, “How to look good?”

Ye Jiao doesn’t know too much poems, and she can’t recite poems casually like her own son. She just said with a soft voice, “Miangong is good-looking, and I won’t get tired of watching it for a lifetime.”

At this moment, Qi Yun knew who inherited his Xubao’s sweetness.

He couldn’t help but leaned over to kiss Ye Jiao on the corner of Ye Jiao’s mouth. Ye Jiao’s eyes widened and pushed him a bit. When Xu Bao didn’t pay attention, he patted Qi Yun on the shoulder: “What are you doing?”

On the other hand, Qi Yun smiled and put his chin on the woman’s neck, and said softly: “Let me try it, is my Jiao Niang’s mouth sweet?”

Ye Jiao was a little puzzled: “I didn’t eat anything, how could it be sweet?”

Qi Yun smiled lowly: “I think Jiao Niang is sweeter than honey.”

The author has something to say: Xu Bao: It’s not easy to be a mature baby [cover your eyes]
