"In fact, the big families have their own business, and relying on the court's fortunes alone is far from enough to support a big family, and they may not even be able to support servants, not to mention the ushering and sending between various families, and the exchange of gifts."

"I know, so...... Do you agree with me to do business? ”

"If you like it."

"But I also go from south to north when I do business. Didn't you let me out? ”

"For a valid reason, I will agree."

Xiao Changqi and Ye Qingyan were talking, and Gong Cheng quietly retreated with great eyesight.

Ye Qingyan was held in Xiao Changqi's arms, and he didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people secretly looking at him from afar, "Do you really agree with me going out?" ”

"Well, treating you is similar to controlling floods, it's better to block than to sparse."

"You compare me to a flood?" Ye Qingyan glared at him.

Xiao Changqi chuckled, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not!" Ye Qingyan refused, "Moreover, it is better to block than to dredge, and the embankment must be strong enough to dredge, otherwise the embankment is not strong enough, and if you discharge floods, it will only break the entire embankment." Therefore, the premise of sparseness is to block the place solidly enough. Just like two armies facing each other, it is easier to win by encircling three without one than by encircling on all sides. But it must also be tight enough, just casually surround it, but if it is not tight, it will fall short. Sometimes it takes a combination of plugging and dredging to achieve better and better results. ”

Ye Qingyan was speechless, and Xiao Changqi was speechless when he heard it, and finally laughed, "Then do you want me to let you go, or don't you let you go." ”

"Put, of course. But the premise is that if you want me back, you have to be strong enough not to be attacked by other women, then I probably won't be able to come back. ”

"You're still not worried about me. Since this is the case, there is no need to go out, there are really other women in the province who take advantage of the situation. ”

"Didn't you just say that it's better to be blocked."

"But you say you're not a flood."

"How can you talk like this doesn't count, backtracking."

"Jiaojiao...... Not as foolish as you are. ”

"I don't have it."

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Qingyan held a dotted emerald peony pattern gilt hand stove in both hands, sitting in the warm pavilion, looking at the windy snow outside, but he didn't feel cold.

Habit is a terrible thing, and in the past month, she has become accustomed to the ice and snow, and is less afraid of the cold.

Xiao Changqi carried a pot of hot wine and two glass cups, put them on the couch, and sat down opposite her.

"It has snowed heavily in Jizhou in the past few days, and the news from the capital can't come for the time being."

"Well, you should pay more attention to the mother's side." Ye Qingyan took a sugar-fried chestnut from the fruit plate on the couch, peeled the shell, and stuffed the yellow and clear flesh into his mouth, which was sweet, soft and glutinous.

"It's the New Year soon, do you have any wishes?" Xiao Changqi poured Ye Qingyan a glass of wine.

Ye Qingyan squinted at him comfortably, "My only wish is to hope that my husband is safe." ”

Xiao Changqi's handsome eyebrows were raised obliquely, and the corners of his lips were shallowly hooked, but they were laughing from the bottom of his heart.

"I can hear it, it's true."

"Of course, no matter how the pattern of the world changes, how you and I change, I pray that you can be healthy, safe and happy." This was her only wish for him, and she took a glass of wine and drank it down, "What about you?" ”

Xiao Changqi looked at her and said after a while: "I hope to be my father." ”

Ye Qingyan was stunned, and soon came back to his senses, with a flash of banter in his eyes, and called out to him coquettishly: "Father! Do you like my daughter? ”

Xiao Changqi held the wine glass, dumbfounded, "......"

……

'Crackling~' firecrackers rang out, and the street was full of children's laughter.

It's a new year.

This year, there was a storm in the capital, but Xiao Changqi had always been in Jizhou City and had never returned to Beijing. First, it was Emperor Jingde who gave him the holy decree that 'no edict should not return to Beijing'. Second, this year, Xidi changed to a belligerent King Xidi, taking advantage of the civil strife in the capital of the Yan Dynasty, and taking the opportunity to attack Jizhou. Xiao Changqi, as the lord of Jizhou, began an offensive and defensive battle with Xidi for more than a year. The imperial court did not give Xiao Changqi any support, but only allowed him to build his own armed army in Jizhou to resist the invasion of Sidi.

In his previous life, Ye Qingyan didn't know much about what happened during this time, but the capital was very lively. She has the intention to change what happened this year, for example, after Ye Hongbo was hit by Tanhua, he persuaded him to go to the Hongze Banquet, so that he would not know the dancing girl who killed him. Or after Ye's illness, he can pay more attention to it, and he will not die.

However, Xiao Changqi did not allow her to return to the capital at all. In the end, she could only send a message to Chunyu and ask her to tell the Ye family, saying that Ye Hongbo had committed peach blossoms this year, and places like wine banquets and Qinglou where there were singing and dancing prostitutes, if she could, she would not go, and she was afraid that she would have to worry about her life. The Ye family values this eldest son the most, and would rather believe it than believe it, and there should be no problem with her staring. As for the Ye family, she asked Chunyu to often send the Nourishing Pill and recuperate often, even if she was sick, it would not be as serious as a landslide.

If there is no problem with the two people in Ye Fu, they are basically stable.

As for the palace, there is also a concubine. This woman, she is very entangled, and she doesn't know whether to care about it or not, because her life and death have a great impact on Xiao Changqi......

Ye Qingyan can manipulate the life and death of some inconsequential people. And this kind of person who can influence the fortunes of the country, she really doesn't dare to act rashly.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather is clear, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh snow and the first sun.

Ye Qingyan was busy early in the morning, she boiled a lot of chilblain cream, and tried to make some new skin care balms, and today she mainly gave it away.

Just as she was packing the vats of balsam into a small and delicate white jade porcelain box, a man came to the prince's palace.

"Miss Mingyan, there is an Autumn Cicada Daoist looking for you." Gong Cheng replied.

Ye Qingyan paused his hand with balm, and then said to Gong Cheng: "He is the gatekeeper of the prince in Leopard City, let him come over." ”

"Yes. Then do we have to arrange an errand for him to be a janitor? ”

"Not for now. He's doing a good job of helping me look at the stalls in Leopard City, so let him come over and help today. ”

"Yes, we know."

Gong Cheng turned around and was about to leave.

Ye Qingyan stopped him again, "Wait a minute, the palace manager." ”

"What else does Miss Mingyan command?"

"You can try this." Ye Qingyan gave him a box of balsam, "The fragrance is agarwood first and then plum, I hope you like it." ”

The siege was immediately flattered, "This, how to make it." ”。

"I can't do it. When I go to set up a stall, I also give it away. Why don't you send it first, take it. Ye Qingyan handed him a box of ointment for chilblains, "This is for chilblains." It's all tried by me, it's definitely very easy to use, and Tong Su is not bullied. ”
