In the next few days, the Qi family was calm, and Ye Jiao didn't know what was going on outside.
However, Xiao Ginseng has never been worried, or that she has always had an inexplicable trust in Qi Yun. She always feels that as long as he wants to do things, there are very few things he cannot do.
Ye Jiao didn't care about what he wanted to do.
It's just that the weather is not good during this time, and it is always gloomy, with neither snow nor rain.
When the sky was overcast, Ye Jiao was not too happy to walk around in the yard. Most of them stayed in the house, burned enough charcoal fire, and kept the stone bud grass beside him, writing and writing to dispel boredom.
Occasionally, Liu shi would also call the upper clan Ye Jiao to cast the pot, or to talk about the usual things.
What's different from Ye Jiao is that Fang shi always worry about Qi Zhao. When chatting, she always wants to ask Ye Jiao what his brothers are doing.
Ye Jiao asked three questions, and she really didn’t know, but Fang shi always asked, which made Ye Jiao a little bored. Liu clan also saw that the Fang clan was worrying, so they didn’t have to pass this time and went back to the yard. Just stay in it.
But the happiest thing is probably Little Shitou. Fang shi's heart has been on Qi Zhao recently, and there is no time to always take care of him.
Finally, I was able to leave the book for a few days. I will take a look at Shishi today, and go shopping there tomorrow. From time to time, I will come to Ye Jiao’s yard to take a bite of "Second Auntie", which makes the days live a lot.
Qi Yun didn't go out too much. He met Guan Shi and Fang Li in the small room in the courtyard, and stayed with Ye Jiao the other time.
Early that morning, Qi Yun stayed in the bedroom and looked through the account books, but Ye Jiao didn't have time to accompany him, but played with little Shitou in the yard.
Little Shitou was young and fierce, sweating after a few runs.
Ye Jiao wanted to hug him back to the house, while Qi Yun silently took out a "Three Character Classic", and when he watched the stone come in, he said lightly to him: "It just so happens that I have time. Little Shitou will come. Uncle teaches you how to recognize it. word."
Shishi now feels a pain in his head when he hears the two words that can be read. He immediately does not stick to Ye Jiao, and instead picks up on the woman who hugged him, yelling: "Little Shitou is sleepy. Find his mother."
Ye Jiao didn't stop him, just looking at the back of her mother-in-law holding little Shitou and leaving, it was a little strange: "I usually keep little Shitou happy, but now I really miss him."
Just now, she asked nanny Liu to make a bowl of apricot cheese, which she wanted to use as a dessert for the stone.
Qi Yun put the "San Zi Jing" back on the shelf with a faint expression, with a gentle voice: "After all, mother and son are connected."
Ye Jiao thought for a while and accepted this statement.
After lunch was over, Qi Yun had someone withdraw from the table and asked Xiao Su to move out the chessboard in the cabinet.
Ye Jiao was holding a bowl of hot apricot cheese, eating with great concentration. Seeing that Qi Yun had someone move the chessboard out, she looked at him eagerly: "Play chess?"
"Well, playing chess, I taught you last time, with five pieces." Qi Yun said, placing the chessboard on the table.
Speaking of Go, Qi Yun is good at this, let alone Ye Jiao, a layman, even the master in the chess club might not be able to play him.
But Qi Yun asked his wife to play chess not for winning, but for entertainment.
There is not much entertainment that can be done in the house, and last time Ye Jiao had just learned how to play with five sons, but now it is not bad to take it out to pass the time.
He set the chessboard, put two chess baskets with black and white pieces next to them, and sat opposite Ye Jiao, stretched out his hand and squeezed her fingertips gently: "Let you stay in the house these days. I can’t go out, and the sky outside is gloomy. I’m afraid you will be bored. I just have time today. It’s a pleasure to talk about it together."
Ye Jiao didn't know what it meant by hand talk, but she was happy to be able to do something with Qi Yun.
With a mate, everything will be fun.
However, Little Ginseng was not going to waste the remaining apricot cheese. He approached Qi Yun, and by the way, he picked up the chess basket with the black chess and put it in front of him, just sitting with Qi Yun, and handed the spoon to Qi Yun. Yun's mouth: "I'll eat it for you."
Qi Yun didn't like sweets. He also knew that Ye Jiao liked apricots, so he didn't plan to win the beauty.
But as soon as he wanted to say something, Ye Jiao handed it in.
The slight fragrance and bitterness, as well as the honey-like sweetness, directly blocked Qi Yun's refusal.
The two of them just got together like this, you divided the apricot cheese spoon by spoonful, and started playing chess with the free hand.
Connecting five pieces is much simpler than ordinary Go, as long as the five pieces are connected, it is considered a win.
Qi Yun is good at layout, and thinking about ten steps in the next step has almost become a subconscious habit. He encountered such a straightforward and unreasonable, rampant, how happy he came, but it made Qi Yun a little at a loss.
If Ye Jiao had just learned the rules last time and he still had some scruples about the rules that Qi Yun said, then today the little ginseng completely liberated herself, completely following her heart, and she was very refreshing.
But Ye Jiao's eyes are sharp and her hands are sharp, and her head is also bright, and there is no opportunity to start.
Originally, Qi Yun just wanted to coax Ye Jiao to pass the time. Then he moved out of the board and wanted to make a small game. Who knew he had lost two games in a row. Qi Erlang finally corrected his attitude and won Ye Jiao five games in a row.
Then Qi Yun realized that he seemed to have won too much...
Originally, I wanted to make Ye Jiao happy, but now it seems that my wife is playing with me.
This made Qi Yun couldn't help but look at Ye Jiao, but found that his lady was happily cleaning the chessboard, ready to continue playing with him.
Qi Yun asked softly: "I'm sorry, Jiao Niang."
Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at him: "What's the matter?"
When Qi Yun saw this, he knew that Ye Jiao really didn't care about winning or losing, and she was happy if she won or lost. He reached out to help her divide the pieces, and said softly, "Don't you like winning?"
"Like it." Ye Jiao put the bowl aside and looked at him with a smile.
Qi Yun paused at his fingertips: "Then why didn't you get angry just after losing?"
The little ginseng asked about this is a bit strange. In her opinion, it is normal for a game to have a win or lose, but it is normal for her to not be able to play Qi Yun: "Xiangong is so good, and chess is also great. Besides, I won and I am happy, Xianggong won. Isn’t it nice to be happy?"
Qi Yun couldn't stop laughing at this, and sturdily made a print on Ye Jiao's forehead with his lips.
They all made their own voices.
The little ginseng he got stretched out his hand to push him: "Don't kiss the Huatian that was posted in the morning."
Qi Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to help her press: "Okay, get it back."
"Really?"
"It's just a little wrinkled."
"……Humph!"
After making a fuss for a while, Qi Yun helped her re-attach the flower tin, and then the little ginseng stopped.
But after all this tossing, Ye Jiao felt that her eyelids were a little heavy.
She yawned and tugged Qi Yun's cuffs: "I'm sleepy. Sleep for a while. Please lie down with me."
This made Qi Yun couldn't help but glance at her more, half hugging her and got up: "You seem to be very sleepy these days."
Before, Ye Jiao also liked to take a nap, but taking a nap was more like a habit of hard work. She mostly lay there and look around here and there, and it took a while before she could sleep.
But in the last few days, Ye Jiao always sleepy at every turn. She often wakes up in the evening after taking a nap, and she can still sleep well at night.
Ye Jiao rubbed her eyes, "It should be cold, it's quite comfortable to sleep."
Qi Yun looked at her. I don’t know if it’s because Ye Jiao has been sleeping more recently. She is not as thin as before. Although she is thinner than ordinary people, she feels a lot softer when held in her arms...
I can't think about it anymore, otherwise it will disturb my wife's sleep.
Qi Yun took her to lie down on the bed, and while covering her with a quilt, said: "Sleep well, if there is something I will call you."
Ye Jiao yawned again, nodded, leaned sideways and hugged his arm, and fell asleep soon after.
Qi Yun looked at Ye Jiao's sleeping side face, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Qi Yun heard the sound of someone tapping the window lattice. He lifted the curtain of the bed and saw a figure on the window.
Looking at the height and the way he tied his hair, Qi Yun knew it was Tiezi.
Normally, when he and Ye Jiao were together, neither Xiaosu nor Tiezi would easily come in and disturb them. Now it is mostly an urgent matter to buckle the window.
Qi Yun turned sideways slightly, trying to get out of bed, but felt that his arm was firmly embraced by the woman.
The softness of his elbows made Qi Yun's ears red, and he immediately stopped his figure, for fear of disturbing Ye Jiao.
I wanted to take out my hand carefully, but the little ginseng hugged him tightly, still pulling Qi Yun's sleeve, and Ye Jiao closed her eyes and muttered when he moved.
The man thought for a while, and simply untied the straps of his robe, took off his clothes, and let Ye Jiao pull it. After getting out, Qi Yun helped Ye Jiao to press the quilt, and then he lifted the curtain of the bed. Leave gently.
After taking the fur clothes and closing the door of the inner room, Qi Yun left the bedroom and went to the small room.
Tie Zi also followed in, and handed a letter in his hand to Qi Yun: "Second Young Master, a letter from Third Young Master."
Qi Yun took it, opened the letter, took out the letter paper from the inside, and unfolded it, carefully looking at the words on it.
And the above, the meaning is very simple, Cai Shiliulang has been kicked out of the academy, the Cai family wanted to bribe the academy not to report to an official, and was bombarded by the academy, and soon someone would report this matter to the Yamen.
Qi Yun put the letter paper on the table and stood up and said, "Go call eldest brother and say I have something to tell him."
It seems that the arrangement of this period will finally have a result.
With a smile on Tiezi's face, he responded and ran out all the way.
When Ye Jiao woke up, she saw the robe she was holding in her arms.
Some strangely rubbing his eyes and looking out, she saw Qi Yun who was sitting on the soft couch reading a book.
Meeting Ye Jiao's eyes, Qi Yun smiled and said, "Tomorrow should be a sunny day, Jiao Niang can go for a walk."
Ye Jiao blinked, did not answer directly, but reached out to him.
Qi Yun stunned the book, and sat on the bed sideways, hugging his wife, and heard Ye Jiao's soft voice: "Snake, killed?"
The man gave a soft "um".
Ye Jiao leaned on Qi Yun's heart, with a smile on her face.
You know Xianggong is the best.
By the second day, it turned out to be fine weather, and the originally precipitous weather became warmer.
On a rare sunny day, when he was able to go out again, Ye Jiao sat in the car to go to Dong's place, and by the way, let's see how the auspicious flowers bloomed in Dong's place.
And as soon as he entered the town, Ye Jiao heard someone outside talking about—
The Cai family was defeated.
