In the past, Ming Cheng, who even had to look at his eyes, knew that his grandson called his father and mother for a bite of sesame baked cakes, and it was estimated that he would crawl out of the coffin and die again!

Yue Xi was also amazed by the child's behavior, and did not understand how such a young child could 'degenerate' into this.

The Ming family's case dragged on for several months, and the Ming family was detained in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although the officials of all sizes in the Criminal Department did not say it, who didn't understand that the Ming family was going to end this time!

Therefore, even the jailers guarding the prison did not take these prisoners seriously.

The little guy was locked up in the women's prison with his mother, and he lived for a few days without food and drink, and was sent to Yingyao's other courtyard.

Xiaoshi, who has been suffering from having no heirs, is happy to see this child, and has the heart to be a companion by his side, and when he is old in the future, he will be regarded as a person who delivers tea and water at the front of the bed.

She has never given birth to a child, let alone taught a child, when she is happy, she will give him a meal, when she is unhappy, she will starve him a few times, and she will use some snacks to tempt the child to call her 'mother' and Yingyao 'daddy'!

However, the clay figure also has a dirty nature, and this child didn't meet Xiao's eyes, and would rather be hungry than call her 'mother'.

Stayed in Xixiang Village for two days, where the women were originally soft-hearted, and everyone pitied him for being a 'picked up' child, so they felt particularly sorry for him, although the little thing was young, he also felt that the family was really good to him, especially living in a room with Xia Ran, Xia Ran was afraid that he would cry and make noise to the emperor's majesty, almost to the point of not leaving his hand!

The little thing opened his mouth and called Xia Ran Niang, that was the closest he was to Xia Ran! And when I called Zheng Baocai, 'Daddy', it was all because I was greedy!

But Xia Ran is an old girl who has not gone out! This 'mother' cry can be described as earth-shattering, she hung her head and blushed and shed tears......

"Call me!" Yue Xi hurried over and comforted: "The skin-wearing child is greedy, and I can't tell if I'm a man or a woman, so my father and mother call me, don't fight any of you!" ”

"Auntie, we've washed our hands!" The dog brothers who ran in just ran out one after the other, and they all stretched out their hands in front of Xia Ran, Yue Xi looked down, his palms were washed quite white, the back of his hands was still dirty, and he didn't know how to wash his hands.

"Do you hear that? I know how to call you aunt...... Yue Xi took out a hand and tugged at Xia Ran's sleeve and whispered: "This little thing has no father or mother, and no one teaches him to recognize someone." You took him for two days, he is hello to you, my family will not be like a child......"

Xia Ran was not so sad but ashamed, and she was even more embarrassed to be persuaded by Yue Xi like this.

lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't give face to the house.

took out a few baked cakes from the baggage and gave them to the dog and the dog's eggs, and the dog's egg bit and tasted it, and casually stuffed the messy pear in the other hand into Zheng Baocai's hand: "Daddy, eat." ”

Zheng Baocai didn't dislike it, he nibbled on the pear a few more bites, and threw the remaining pear pit into the grove on the side of the road.

Yue Xi frowned, and thought: Two children can't learn well with such a father!

"Let's go, let's go in and talk!" Zheng Baocai rubbed the hand with pear juice on his lower waist to finish cleaning, and then he remembered to greet Yue Xi.

The courtyard of the Taiping Bureau is huge and smooth, cleaned up neatly, and there is not even a straw stick on the ground!

The shopkeepers of several branches rushed over early in the morning, and several people stood under the eaves of the main hall in well-dressed clothes and said something. Seeing Zheng Baocai leading Yue Xi in, everyone was also surprised, and hurriedly came over to greet Yue Xi!

Yue Xi handed the child into Xia Ran's hands, smiled and greeted a few shopkeepers, Chu Yingzhi, Su Jinyan and Ye Qiu walked out of the house quickly: "Let's just say that Brother Zheng went out for a long time and didn't come back, it turned out that he was talking to the master!" What a ......."

Su Jinyan stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Baocai: "The head of the house can't come here, why don't you tell us a few times!" ”

"What are you doing?" Zheng Baocai smiled, revealing a bit of cunning: "Let's settle the accounts in the house, and it's not too late for my brother to sue you when the accounts are settled!" ”

"More and more adulterous!" Chu Ying knew that he didn't dare to provoke Zheng Baocai on weekdays, but now in front of Yue Xi, he also had a little more courage to follow Su Jinyan to the side, and arranged Zheng Baocai in unison.

"Go, go!" Zheng Baocai was not angry, and pushed Chu Yingzhi with a big grin: "Lao Su and I are in-laws, he said that I would say a few words, why don't you come to join in the fun!" ”

Su Jinyan's youngest daughter was born white and tender and cute and well-behaved, Zheng Baocai liked it when he saw it, and unilaterally announced that he would become a son and daughter with Su Jinyan, and said that his two sons could choose one of them to be their son-in-law.

Su Jinyan looked at his two dirty boys who were as dirty as mouses, and he no longer allowed Jiang Lan to appear in the Taiping Bureau with his daughter, and showed his attitude towards this family business with practical actions!

"Master, long time no see, how are you!" While those men were arguing on the side, Ye Qiu walked straight up to Yue Xi and arched his hand: "I talked to Lord Ye about you yesterday, and I saw you today!" ”

"Coincidentally, I'm talking about you too!"

Yue Xi gave Ye Qiu a look, and the two of them left the crowd and stepped aside: "How about looking at that child?" She whispered.

"This kid grows up so fast!" Ye Qiu saw the child Xia Ran was holding and sighed: "It's only one year old, right?" Look like a big kid! ”

"It's not my child." Yue Xi knew that he had recognized the wrong person, and hurriedly said, "He was picked up by His Majesty." ”

"Huh?!" Ye Qiu was stunned, and had a vague premonition in his heart, so he asked tentatively, "The one in charge brought this child to me?" ”

"That's what I thought." Yue Xi nodded: "I brought the child without consulting you, just to show you." ”

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists and cautiously walked towards the child......

The little boy quickly noticed that a stranger was approaching him, and he immediately threw himself into Kasumi's arms.

Ye Qiu stopped, looked back at Yue Xi and said, "He...... He didn't like me......"

"It's time for a child of this age to be recognized." Yue Xi waved his hand at the people in the courtyard first: "You go into the house first, and I'll say a few words to the master first." ”

When she and Ye Qiu first met, Ye Qiu was still Ye Miancheng's master, and he was used to the title of master, and it was difficult to change his words, so Yue Xi still called him that.

Chu Yingzhi and Zheng Baocai looked at each other, and immediately returned to the house together without saying a word.

Yue Xi took the child from Xia Ran's arms and handed it to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu hurriedly reached out to take it, holding the child clumsily with both hands, one big and one small eyes met, the little boy immediately flattened his mouth but didn't dare to cry!

If you cry in the prison of the Criminal Department, you will be whipped! To this day, there are still a few whip marks on the little one's back, and the legs are not completely gone.

The child's tearful eyes were full of horror, but he still endured it, his thin arms hung stiffly on his sides and let Ye Qiu hold him, he neither resisted nor obeyed, he looked completely resigned to fate!

Looking at it, Ye Qiu's eyes turned red......

"How many sins has this child suffered......" he took the small body into his arms and lifted it up, "I ...... I won't raise children......"

"No one in this world is born to be a father and a mother." Yue Xi touched the back of the child's head: "It's also strange, as long as there is such a gadget, we will all be fathers and mothers!" ”

"As for whether this child is raised well or badly, it all depends on how much effort you put into it." Yue Xi still said the same sentence: "Kittens and puppies will kiss people after raising them for a long time, let alone children?" ”

"This is a big deal...... Ye Qiu stared at the child's little face for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "I have to go back and discuss with him." ”

"Yes, yes." Yue Xi agreed.

Raising a child is originally a lifelong affair between husband and wife, let alone a husband and wife like Ye Qiu and Ye Miancheng.

……

After saying what should be said to Ye Qiu, Yue Xi went to the main house.

She withheld the identity of the child.

Putting aside the identity of the Ming family, without the emperor's suspicions and scruples, this child can grow up easily in the future......

He didn't come to the Taiping Bureau for nearly a year, and Yue Xi just sat on the main seat and listened to everyone talk about the situation of their respective shops and didn't express their opinions.

She is the owner of the Taiping Bureau, as long as she determines the direction of the Taiping Bureau's operation, as for how to implement her own subordinates to do, she has never thought of interfering in everything.

Each performs its own duties and seeks its own government in its position, only by fully allowing everyone to play a role, can the Taiping Bureau have a long-term development!

In the past few months, she has never asked a word about the shop, and the Taiping Bureau has been operating in an orderly manner.

"Boss, the Shi Ulva collected by our Funing branch has been stored in several warehouses, and several letters have come over there asking what you want to do with this large number of goods." After saying the matter of the four branches in the imperial capital, Su Jinyan also faced the account in front of several shopkeepers, and he pushed the account book in front of Yue Xi.

Yue Xi lowered his head and glanced at the account book a few times, then turned directly to the final income and expenses, and roughly calculated the group of numbers in his heart, which was more silver than he estimated.

She quietly closed the account book and said to Su Jinyan and Zheng Baocai: "Pull it back, it's about to be winter, it's time for us to sell the goods!" ”

"Okay." Zheng Baocai said: "I'll arrange it in person in a while, Funing is also a long distance, and I have to pick some dilapidated vehicles to transport goods." ”

"Nope." Yue Xi shook his head and said: "Since our Taiping Bureau has collected so many cars and horses, it has basically run to a few nearby places, although there is a lot of business, the money is tired!" ”

"This time to Funing to transport goods, we must pick our best cars and horses to transport, and then hang the logo of our Taiping Bureau, that is, to pull our convoy out with great fanfare and show off in front of everyone, so that those who do business also have a number in their hearts: no matter the long distance, it is the safest to do business with our Taiping Bureau!"

Unlike the introverted business experience of the ancients who made a fortune, Yuexi's head is filled with modern business concepts.

Although she did not specialize in business, she understood the huge financial benefits that came with advertising.

The people in the room were all talking enthusiastically, but Ye Qiu turned around and looked out from time to time absentmindedly.

In the yard, the dog was dragging a big broom as a horse to ride, and the dog was running behind him, holding a small branch as a whip in his hand, and waving it behind his brother from time to time: "Drive! ”

After running around the yard a few times, the little brothers stopped in front of the little boy, and the dog gave him the broom and pestle in his hand: "Get on the horse!" ”

The little boy was so frightened that he took a step back.

The dog was about to smoke the little branch when he lifted it, Ye Qiu got up and ran out violently, and picked up the little boy who was huddled in a ball: "Don't bully my son!" ”

He shouted......
