(10 months later)

Ye Xun took his three children to the street alone. He carried his eldest son Ye Chang around his neck, his daughter Ye Leer in his left hand, and the naughty bag Ye Xing in his right hand; There is still a small shoulder in his mouth that he doesn't know the child. Although I am a little tired, my heart is still beautiful. He walked briskly down the street......

Suddenly, he stopped, stunned for a moment, and then looked around again. Because his nose, which he hadn't smelled for a long time, suddenly smelled the fragrance that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he stood there in disbelief.

After a while, with a stronger and stronger fragrance, a person appeared in front of him. She was still so touching, smiling softly at herself......

Ye Xun felt that the world was spinning, he hurriedly spit out the thing in his mouth, and shouted in disbelief, "Qiu Tong!" ”

"Tianyu!" Qiu Tong looked at him and smiled generously.

Ye Xun put down the two children in his arms in a panic and looked at her with some excitement. The person in front of him made him feel like he was in a different world. "You...... How did you come to the capital? The only person on the ground who could babble a few words, tugging at the front hem of Ye Xun's clothes, screamed milkily, "Daddy! Daddy! Ye Xun ignored her, and just smiled awkwardly at Qiu Tong.

"These are your children?" Qiu Tong touched Ye Chang's chubby little face and asked. Ye Chang rode on Ye Xun's neck, his eyes were confused, and he was not in a state at all.

Ye Xun nodded and put Ye Chang on the ground.

"I'll come to the capital to do some business, and I'll talk about it when I have time." Qiu Tong finished talking and was leaving.

Ye Xun also felt that they were chatting too conspicuously on the street, and he had already noticed that several spies from Dongchang and Jinyi were staring at them, so he hurriedly asked, "Where do you live now?" I'll go to you when I have time. ”

Qiu Tong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer him, and was silent for a moment before saying, "We will meet again if we are destined." After saying that, he nodded to him and walked into the crowd without looking back.

Ye Xun stood in place, feeling her taste fade away. Suddenly he could smell anything. The smell of food on the street, the smell of trees and flowers, the body odor of people passing by, and the smell of milk on children...... Ye Xun suddenly fell into his past with Qiu Tong: Ye Xun shook Qiu Tong's hand for the first time; The two men looked at each other affectionately; "My future husband can only stay with me alone, and I don't want to share him with other women. I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated"; "Like you, my family is guarded by me!" "Give me the ledger in three days! Can you do it? ”……

Until Le'er tugged at Ye Xun's clothes, "Daddy, hug!" Ye Xun woke up from his memories. He picked up the three children again, "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

When Ye Xun went home, Ruolian, Tao'er, and Xiaohu were all busy. Seeing that they were back, Ruolian greeted them with a smile, "A few of my big babies are back!" Hurry up and wash your hands, and it's time to start eating. ”

Ye Xun pretended to be natural and said, "I stewed meat at home today, and I haven't eaten meat for a long time." It smells so good! As soon as I opened my mouth, I was exposed. After saying that, he regretted it.

Ruolian was just stunned for a moment, and smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.

But Tao'er couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "Young master, your nose is good, can you smell it?" ”

"yes, I don't know what's wrong? Suddenly you can smell it. Ye Xun carefully observed Ruolian's face and pretended to be relaxed.

Ye Xun couldn't hold back at night, but still decided to confess to Ruolian, "Ruolian, do you know who I met on the street today?" ”

Ruolian could see from Ye Xun's return that he was a little different today, and he had been distracted all night, waiting for him to tell him. "Who?"

"Wu Qiutong." Ye Xun lowered his head and muttered.

Ruolian was very surprised, "When we were in Hangzhou, did you know Miss Wu, the daughter of the governor?" ”

Ye Xun didn't look at her eyes, lowered his eyelids and nodded.

"Why did she come to the capital? And so coincidentally, you actually met on the street? ”

Ye Xun hesitated and didn't know how to answer, Ruolian asked again, "Where does she live now?" You didn't ask her what she was doing in the capital? ”

We chatted on the street and she left. She didn't say anything. As for where she lives now, it shouldn't be hard to find. ”

Ruolian Mei was stunned, "What are you looking for someone to do?" ”

Ye Xun immediately realized his gaffe, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that, I mean I can ......" Ye Xun found that he would only explain more and more chaotic, so he had to shut up.

"It's all the fathers of three children, and I have points in my heart!" Ruolian didn't want to dwell on him on this issue, but she was a little uneasy in her heart.

Ye Xun smiled at her, "Madame, don't worry!" ”

On this day, Ye Xun did not rush home from the yamen, but wandered aimlessly on the street. The city suddenly had a familiar smell that made him linger and feel sad...... Before he knew it, he followed the scent to the front of a shop, which was still under renovation and would open soon. Ye Xun looked up at the signboard, it was a wine shop. A young and beautiful girl was busy cleaning inside, and a young man who looked fifteen or sixteen years old was also busy moving things......

Ye Xun walked in, the girl didn't look up, wiped the bar, and said, "Guest officer, we haven't started business yet, and we will officially open in three days." You are welcome to come and taste it. Seeing that there was no movement, the girl looked up and said in surprise, "Ye Xun, you ...... How did you find here? ”

"Qiu Tong, what are you going to ...... Open a store? Ye Xun asked confusedly.

Qiu Tong wiped a stool with the rag in her hand and asked Ye Xun to sit down, she looked around and said, "Yes." I'm going to open a sake brewery. ”

"You're a girl's family, running a wine shop? You...... What do you think? ”

Qiu Tong saw Ye Xun's anxious appearance, lowered his head and smiled, "If you don't do something, how can you support yourself?" Will you marry me? ”

Ye Xun was a little flustered, "I'...... Already married. As you can see, there are three children. ”

"I'm kidding." Qiu Tong smiled poignantly.

"Why did you think about coming to the capital?" Ye Xun asked.

"That's a long story." Qiu Tong lowered his head and fiddled with the rag in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "My father and I left Hangzhou and went to Shanxi to join my brother and sister-in-law. After living in Shanxi for a while, my father tried his best to enlighten me when he saw that I was always depressed. Ask me if I'm not used to living here? Still can't get along with your sister-in-law? I knew where the depression in my heart was, so I told my father frankly, saying that I had an obsession in my heart, and I had to do it once before I died. My father knew that I was so strong by nature that I would not come back even if there was no result, so he told me that I had an aunt in the capital and that I could go to her. When I came to the capital, I inquired about your marriage and children, and it was inconvenient to disturb you, so I went to find my aunt. My aunt was a maid in the palace before. After being released from the palace at an age, she married someone once, because she had never given birth, her husband disliked her everywhere, beat and scolded her at every turn, and her aunt couldn't stand it, so the two separated. Since then, she has lived alone. Because my grandfather had an ancestral winemaking technique, and my aunt used it for a living. Because she knew the people in the palace, she asked someone to supply it to the palace, but she didn't expect it to be very popular with the ladies in the palace, so she has been supplying it until now. After I came, my aunt said that she was too old to do it, and wanted me to take over her shift and continue to deliver wine to the palace. I thought that since this fruit wine is so popular, why not expand the business and open a shop on the street, so I will buy this shop and renovate it. ”

After listening to Qiu Tong's speech, Ye Xun said, "It's not good for the girl's family to show up after all. What's more, there are three sects and nine streams in this capital, and everyone has ...... I don't think it's appropriate. ”

"Have you forgotten that I am a martial artist? I can protect myself. ”

"If you open the door to do business, you have to be angry and make money, and you can't fight with people every day if you know kung fu, right? After all, you're a girl who hasn't left the cabinet. Ye Xun looked at her worriedly, "Otherwise, it will be easier for her to let your aunt look at the store." You're in charge of brewing and sending people to deliver to the palace? ”

Qiu Tong shook her head, "My aunt is old, and I don't want her to work with her." Recently, she plans to return to her hometown to retire. She hasn't been back to her hometown for most of her life, and she still thinks about returning to her roots. ”

"Then you can hire a shopkeeper." Ye Xun suggested.

Qiu Tong looked at him steadily, "What do you mean, because I am a girl who has not left the cabinet, and opening a wine shop is a deviant and unclean person?" Qiu Tong sneered, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Anyway, I'm not going to get married. Wouldn't it be nice to live like my aunt for the rest of your life? ”

"Qiu Tong, don't say such things! You're so young. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself. You don't owe me anything, don't make it look like you're responsible for me. You can't afford it! Don't come back! Qiu Tong stood up and wanted to give an eviction order.

"Qiu Tong, don't be willful. You listen to me, go back to Shanxi to live with your father and brother, and then find a good family to marry. Ye Xun persuaded as deeply as his brother.

Qiu Tong hated him like this, and suddenly became angry, "What's the matter?" Because you're in the capital, I can't stay in this place, can I? ”

"I didn't mean that. I just hope ...... You're fine. ”

"My business has nothing to do with you in the future, and I'm not your person! Originally, we were not related to each other! In the future, the winery will open, you come to drink, we welcome, other things, we will not accept! Qiu Tong glanced at Ye Xun sadly, put him aside, and went to attend to her business.

Ye Xun sat there alone, silently watching her work. It was not early, and he was afraid that his family would be in a hurry, so Ye Xun left quietly......

Ruolian had clearly sensed Ye Xun's strangeness recently. He came home late, and when he came back, he was always in a trance and absent-minded. Especially in the past few days, Ruolian has smelled a faint smell of wine on him...... Ruolian tried to restrain herself from asking, although she was now famous for being spicy, she still wanted her husband to feel that she was generous and reasonable. She waited for Ye Xun to tell her herself.

Finally one day, Ye Xun looked at Ruolian with some guilt and said, "Ruolian, why don't you ask me why I come home so late these days?" Now that I have a child, I don't care about my father-in-law, right? ”

Ruolian couldn't cry or laugh, "Why did you sue the wicked first!" People don't think that you are the head of the family, and it's not good for me to manage too much, and if you want me to know, you will naturally tell me. ”

"My lady is really understanding. But......" Ye Xun lowered his head, "I really can't stand you this time." ”

"Excuse me? What is so serious? Are you in trouble outside? Which yellow flower girl got pregnant with your child? Wakaren quipped.

"Wakalian! Don't make a fuss. Ye Xun complained to her, and then muttered for a while before he said again, "I told you last time that I met Wu Qiutong on the road. She now has a winery in the capital. ”

"Miss Wu opens a winery?" Ruolian was surprised, "She's a daughter?" Those days... Are you all in her shop? ”

Ye Xun nodded a little weakly, "I have some ...... Don't worry about her. She is a girl's family, and everyone in the capital has ...... However, she has already made it clear to me that in the future, when the road returns to the road and the bridge returns, it will be treated as if no one knows anyone. She ignored me either. However, I always felt indebted to her......"

"What do you owe her? Since she ignores you, what do you go there every day? Ruolian said in a somewhat irritated tone.

Ye Xun peeked at Ruolian's expression and said cautiously, "That's it...... Sitting in the shop, sometimes buying a pot of sake and drinking it slowly...... Just didn't say anything, and looked at her quietly......"

Listening to his words, Ruolian actually had a fire in her heart, but after staying with those ladies and daughters-in-law for a long time, she knew that she must not get angry in this situation. In addition, Ye Xun's attitude is also very sincere, so even if her heart is on fire, she always has a smile on her face. "Sister Qiutong, it's really not easy for a girl to make a living in the capital. It is reasonable that the husband is not at ease. Ruolian said this, but she thought in her heart: This Wu Qiutong obviously knows that Ye Xun has married a wife and has children, and he knows that he is such a soft-hearted person, and he still stays in the capital and does not leave, what is his intention?

Ruolian's attitude surprised Ye Xun very much, he couldn't figure out the situation. I had to admit my mistake frankly, "I know I've gone too far." I don't really have any other thoughts, I'm just worried that she's being bullied. I ......"

"Will you go again tomorrow?" Ruoren asked abruptly interrupting him.

Ye Xun nodded honestly, "I...... When you go down that street, your feet won't listen to you, and you can't help but go there......"

Ruolian wanted to slap him at this time, but only pushed his head with her fingers, "You! I'll take a look at her store tomorrow. Seeing that Ye Xun's eyes were a little panicked, Ruolian hurriedly explained, "Don't worry! I won't embarrass her. After all, the two of you have a good relationship, she came to the capital from all the way, and as your wife, I also have to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Ruolian and Qiu Tong have not officially met, and when Ruolian comes to the store, she knows that it is Qiu Tong when she sees the delicate girl who is busy at the bar. Ruolian watched her quietly and greeted the guests, and did not bother her.

After a while, Qiu Tong seemed to notice the abnormality, and then turned his face to look at Ruolian, "This lady, are you here to drink?" ”

Ruolian smiled and said softly, "You are busy first, and we will talk later." ”

Qiu Tong looked at her suspiciously, knowing about who she was in her heart, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Madame will sit there for a while, and I will go over later." ”

Ruoren nodded, found an empty table and sat down. Qiu Tong observed her from a distance for a while, then called the young man to take her job, took off his apron himself, and walked towards Ruolian.

Qiu Tong stood opposite Ruolian and said with some vigilance, "Mrs. Ye, is there anything to do with me?" ”

"Do you know who I am? Sit down. "Ruolian is very enthusiastic, as if she is the master here." I heard from my father-in-law that you opened a wine shop in the capital. I think you're a girl, and you're a newcomer, come over and see if you need help. ”

Qiu Tong sat down with some hesitation, "He told you?" You also know that he comes here every day? ”

Ruolian nodded confidently, "He won't hide anything from me." He told me about the two of you. Ruolian looked her up and down again and said, "Don't say that the two of you are really a good match, it's a pity that you missed a good marriage by mistake." ”

Qiu Tong's face was slightly red, "That's all in the past, don't mention it." ”

"Although it has passed, if you both have each other in your hearts, it is not impossible to want to be together. It's just that I'm going to wronged the girl. ”

Qiu Tong's eyes lit up, but in order to hide his emotions, he immediately returned to his calm as water just now, "Why did Madam say this?" ”

"It depends on whether Miss Wu has this heart?"

Qiu Tong lowered his head and thought for a while, before he mustered up the courage, raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Without this heart, what am I doing all the way to the capital?" ”

Although everything was expected by Ruolian, hearing this, Ruolian's heart was still sour. She smiled meaningfully at Qiu Tong, "Don't worry, my sister will definitely help you make this happen." ”

In the evening, Ye Xun came to the store again. Unlike the usual love to answer and ignore him, Qiu Tong saw him and went straight up to meet him, and said softly, "Your wife has been here today." ”

Ye Xun didn't feel strange, just nodded.

Qiu Tong continued, "I thought she would come here to make a fuss, but I didn't expect it...... She is very nice and affectionate to me. Therefore, all the rumors outside cannot be believed. ”

"You've heard of it all? How can the rumors from outside be trusted? My wife is the most kind and polite. ”

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "You go back early, don't let your wife wait." I don't have anything to do here. ”

Ye Xun nodded, "I'll just sit down for a while and leave." ”

At night, after Ye Xun and Ruolian lingered in love, Ruolian lay on the bed, her breath uneven. She glanced at Ye Xun, who was also lying on the bed, looking up at a daze, and said, "I went to the wine shop opened by Miss Wu today, and the business is not bad." Miss Wu is also shrewd and capable, and can handle it. But I always feel that people like her are not a long-term solution to stay in that kind of place. ”

Ye Xun nodded silently, "I think so too." But she was very stubborn and didn't listen to any persuasion. ”

Ruolian laughed teasingly, "Where is she stubborn? It's clearly a deep affection for you. I think you'd better take her in, don't let our family show up outside. ”

Ye Xun sat up in shock, "Ruolian, what do you mean by this?" I swear I never intended to do so. ”

"Why are you in a hurry? I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. I think it's a pity that the two of you loved each other so much at the beginning and missed it like this. Let me make a statement first, if she marries, I don't fight with her for anything, the two of us will be sisters, and I promise not to let her be wronged. Ruolian also sat up and said quite seriously.

Ye Xun was a little moved, and gently hugged Ruolian in his arms, "My wife really understands righteousness. But something is missed, just missed. I now have such a wonderful wife and children, and I am content. I won't delay her. She is so good, so arrogant, how can she be willing to be small? ”

"Can you not be small? I don't care. ”

"I care, how could I let you be wronged? So, don't talk about it again. ”

Ye Xun's words made Ruolian very heartwarming, she hugged Ye Xun's waist, put her face against his chest, and closed her eyes happily. After coming over for a while, he looked up at him, "What if Miss Wu is willing to make you small?" ”

Ye Xun was stunned, Ruolian could feel his body trembling slightly, he slowed down for a moment before he said, "That's not okay." We all refused on the princess's side, if we let Qiu Tong enter the door again, how can the emperor explain? ”

"How did I not think of that? Or ......"

"Don't think about it. How good is our family? Why do you have to add people? Go to bed early. ”

Ruolian nodded obediently, and the two of them lay back on the bed......
