The days pass slowly, and once the Lantern Festival is over, it becomes busy again.
The liquor store has re-arranged its staff to deal with more and more buyers, and the drug store that was originally going to be expanded has also become lively. The two-family integration is simple to say, but there are many things to manage.
Not only to get through the courtyard, but also to make arrangements on the front door, and the medicine cabinets and medicine boxes that were built before must be moved.
Each medicinal material is precious, and each has its own habits. Whether it is made or preserved, it is not simple to complete, so the internal layout also takes a lot of effort.
Since Qi Yun has decided to expand the drugstore, he naturally does not rush into it. Every detail has been hired to control it. Fang Li, the treasurer of the drugstore, is like Song Guanshi. He visits Qi's house almost every day. See Qi Yun, report on progress.
Just after breakfast today, Tiezi said, "The shopkeeper Fang is already waiting for the young master in the study."
Qi Yun was picking up vegetables for Ye Jiao, and said lightly: "Let him sit down, I'll go later, let people remember to serve tea."
"Yes, master."
Ye Jiao waited for Tiezi to leave, then tugged at Qi Yun's cuff and said, "Why does he always come to you so early?"
In the past, Ye Jiao wouldn’t care about Qi Yun’s business. First, she didn’t know anything about it. Second, Ye Jiao had complete trust in Qi Yun. She always felt that her husband could do everything well. Worrying is no use, it's better to live your own comfortable life.
But this shopkeeper always came to Qi Yun early in the morning, and it was often that Qi Yun hadn't finished eating before others came.
Ye Jiao was very concerned about Qi Yun's body, and always stared at him for breakfast.
But later it evolved into Qi Yun picking up vegetables for her, and Ye Jiao who had agreed to accompany Qi Yun, but now Qi Yun accompanies her instead.
Of course, the two are having fun, one is not enough to eat, the other is not enough to watch, but it's also peaceful.
Now that Fang Li approached the door again, Ye Jiao couldn't say that she was dissatisfied, but she was a little worried and disturbed Qi Yun's breakfast.
Qi Yun added tender bamboo shoots with chopsticks to her, with a gentle voice: "Fang Li is different from Song Guan. Guan Shi is older, very shrewd, knows and interesting. He always knows when to do things, but Fang Li is younger and more rigid, and he knows less about humanity and sophistication."
Ye Jiao and Fang Li had also met several times. They were thin and gentle men. They were dressed in long gowns. They didn't look like businessmen. On the contrary, they were bookish.
Looking at Fang Li's appearance, he knows that he is a straight-forward temperament, which complements Dong's enthusiastic temper.
However, Ye Jiao was a little curious: "Xiang Gong, you can talk to him, just change it."
The corner of Qi Yun's mouth was slightly raised, and his voice was gentle: "It's easy to make changes, as long as I don't go now and leave him alone for a long time, but he is in charge of the drugstore, and now he is busy when he is busy. I don’t plan to let him change. It’s not a big deal if he doesn’t understand the world. What he wants is this kind of uprightness and not turning around. The medicine is about the life and death of people, so careless. He is good."
When Qi Yun treated Ye Jiao, he always explained things clearly, and Ye Jiao understood clearly, so he stopped saying more. Instead, he peeled a hard-boiled egg to Qi Yun and said, "Xiang Gong, I will give you some food. ."
Seeing Ye Jiao taking care of herself, Qi Yun's brows were gentle and he used the tip of his chopsticks to sandwich the boiled egg in half.
A piece of pagoda dish was placed on the egg yolk, and the man asked while picking up the egg, "How come you think of peeling the egg for me?" The most impatient thing about Ye Jiao is to peel the egg shell. This task is often done by Qi Yun. .
Ye Jiao watched him put the egg into his mouth with a smile, and replied softly, "Xiang Gong, you said that this egg white boiled in water is the most nutritious. You worked hard last night, so naturally you need to make up for it. "
Qi Yun:...
As soon as he said this, Qi Yun suddenly felt that he couldn't get up and down. He finally swallowed it and coughed several times. After taking a sip of tea, it was considered suppressed.
After finally calming down, Qi Yun met Ye Jiao's surprised eyes, and he said helplessly: "Jiao Niang, please tell me before you say this."
Little Ginseng didn’t think it was strange. Originally, Qi Yun had a lot of things recently. Yesterday, he finally had a long rest. Ye Jiao saw that his clothes were opened after taking a shower, and his love entangled him for a while. It's all ripped apart, and it's right to be tired.
But since Qi Yun said that she couldn't talk casually, she obediently wrote it down, but still urged Qi Yun to eat the remaining half of the boiled egg.
After breakfast, Qi Yun was about to go out. Ye Jiao stood on tiptoe and pecked on his cheek, then stood at the door and watched Qi Yun leave. He counted the time in his heart, put on a cloak and held the flower pot. Followed out.
Although Qi Yun hadn't revealed the high fever after nourishing his head during this period, Ye Jiao was still cautious.
In the past, during the day, Ye Jiao either went to the Liu family or stayed in the wing to practice calligraphy and read, but now she goes to the garden from time to time, just to be able to look at Qi Yun in the study from a distance. , For fear that he will not be there when something happens suddenly.
She would not go in, because she was afraid that it would affect Qi Yun's work, but Ye Jiao would not be too far away. Often after Qi Yun left, she would follow Shiyacao with her arms, and basking her with the sun. With his own mate.
Qi Yun didn't know about this. If it weren't for today, he remembered that the account book had fallen in the room and didn't take it out, I'm afraid he would live without knowing anything.
Ye Jiao didn't expect that Qi Yun would return. One of them stood on the corridor outside the study, and the other stood in the garden, and suddenly there was no sound when their eyes met.
Qi Yun opened his mouth and asked in a slow voice, "Jiao Niang, why did you come out so early?"
Ye Jiao blinked and replied softly, "I'm a little worried, so I will look at you."
In fact, Qi Yun didn't know why Ye Jiao was suddenly so nervous about herself, but when he saw her own lady's concern for her, no one felt it in her heart.
He walked over and put his hand stove in Ye Jiao's hands, with a smile in his voice: "I'm not in the way, Jiao Niang don't worry, it's better to be like this. From now on, I will go to the small room in our yard, this study room. Come back when the weather gets warm, okay?"
The ordinary small room was used to meet guests. The reason why Qi Yun moved to the study was because he was afraid of disturbing Ye Jiao's daytime quietness. Now he moved back to fulfill his wife's concern for him.
Ye Jiao was naturally willing, and nodded to him, but put the stove back into Qi Yun's hand: "Take it, Xianggong, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Qi Yun did not refuse, and took it back.
At this time, there was a burst of crisp laughter from the child from afar.
Ye Jiao turned her head and saw Fang's walking in the garden holding the stone.
Although Little Shitou was young, his eyes were sharp. Ye Jiao wore a bright red cloak again. He looked very easy to recognize. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Second aunt!"
Ye Jiao also smiled upon hearing this.
Putting Shi Yacao down, Ye Jiao walked over and touched Xiao Shi's face: "Little Shitou is so good." Then she greeted Fang Shi, who also smiled and nodded.
Shitou hasn't seen Ye Jiao much recently, and now he sees her naturally sticking a little bit, and he stretched out his hand and said to Ye Jiao, "Second auntie hug!"
Ye Jiao glanced at the Fang clan, and saw that Fang clan handed the little stone over with a calm expression. Ye Jiao didn't refuse, and directly put the little guy into the cloak, teasing him: "How come little Shitou reminds her aunt to hold it? "
Little Shitou said with a high face: "It's cold outside, and the second aunt is warm, and it's still fragrant."
As soon as he said this, Qi Yun's face turned black, and immediately wanted to lift him from his wife's arms and put him back to Fang.
But Ye Jiao turned her back to Qi Yun. He couldn't see his expression change. Hearing that he hugged the stone tighter, he smiled and said, "Shitou, it's close to my yard, and the meat wontons are still hot. Go eat. Something." Ye Jiao looked up at Fang Shi.
It just so happened that Fang had just come out of Liu, and now there is nothing wrong with him, so he smiled and said, "Then bother my younger siblings, Shishi, thank you aunt."
Little Shitou said crisply: "Thank you second aunt!"
"Little Shitou is so good."
Ye Jiao asked Xiao Su to hold Shi Yacao to follow her, while she smiled at Qi Yun and left with the stone.
Qi Yun stood in the corridor with a faint expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Since Xiao Su followed Ye Jiao, he has seen a lot of Qi Yun's expressions. For fear that he might be an eye here, he carefully picked up Shi Yacao and followed Ye Jiao, not daring to delay.
That night, Xiao Shitou received a copy of the "San Zi Jing" sent by Qi Erlang, which surprised the Fang family.
Qi Zhao was so happy: "The second brother is really interested. Our Shitou is getting bigger. After the new year is two years old, he can teach him to read and endorse. Now it is more popular with scholars, and we can't let the stone fall."
Fang shi was originally the daughter of a scholar, so naturally he regarded reading and literacy more than the sky.
Originally, she was worried that Qi Zhao was unwilling to let her children suffer from the endorsement so early. Now that Qi Zhao agreed, Fang also laughed: "I will do it for enlightenment. Our stone will definitely be the material for the champion in the future. "
Qi Zhao is also very confident. After all, Shishi is his only son at the moment. Who can't hope that his son will become a dragon?
And the little stone lying on the bed gnawing hands looked at his parents, and showed a pure and brilliant smile.
