Chapter 188: Strange Things on the Winter Solstice
The children have new clothes and gadgets, and everyone is happy. Even Xiuhongsheng's daughter Ping Suli was quite afraid of Jiang Chengzi, but now she is bolder and calls her "Sister Azhi".
Jiang Chengzi didn't care, he just took it, had a pleasant face, and then went back to the house alone.
Yang Ruyu sat down in the courtyard of the wing room and embroidered brocade under the tree, wearing flowers and butterflies with a needle and a thread, and her skills were skillful. The beautiful woman reflects the warm winter sun, how to look at it and how comfortable.
"Eldest sister, is this an embroidered dowry?" Jiang Chengzi greeted. In her impression, ancient women's wedding dresses, pillowcases, door curtains and everything had to be embroidered by themselves, and they were all counted in the dowry. And the in-laws will also check how the new daughter-in-law's embroidery is. If the embroidery is not good, it will be ridiculed and disliked. Of course, for Jiang Chengzi, this kind of thing has never been thought of. As long as there is money and power, aristocratic women can't be embroiderers, and then they can't have ready-to-wear shops. Moreover, with her character and talent, whoever can bully her, she will die.
When Yang Ruyu heard this, her hand froze, and then she let out a long sigh and said, "Ah Zhi, don't make fun of me, I'm my age-"
"What's this age, not yet twenty. Jiang Chengzi interrupted her. If it is left in modern times, this Yang Ruyu is still the most pink sister paper.
"Ah Zhi, if you are so deceitful, I am going to turn my face. Yang Ruyu muttered. She was bullied by the group of people in the ancestral house, and missed the best time to get married, and because Hongnong Yang is a big family, and Datang has not been strict about marriage and other regulations in those years, she has delayed it again and again, and it has been delayed until now.
"Eldest sister, your good things are near. Jiang Chengzi estimated that Li Shimin should also think about it, and let someone come to propose marriage. simply said to Yang Ruyu like this.
When Yang Ruyu heard this, she made a face and said, "Ah Zhi." Hugh mentions the matter. ”
"Eldest sister, how can I make fun of you? I studied under the immortals, and it may not be forbidden to see the face of the destiny?" she asked rhetorically.
Yang Ruyu wanted to say something, and when she heard her say this, she thought about it and got along for more than half a year. I really found that my sister was very powerful. If she hadn't studied under the immortals, she would have lived in a lowly place like Luoshui Grange, how smart would she be? Maybe what she said was true.
"Really?" Yang Ruyu asked in a low voice.
Jiang Chengzi nodded. "It's true." In a few days, the eldest sister's good thing is near. ”
"I don't know, I don't know who the other party is?" Yang Ruyu was instantly shy, and her heart was beating wildly. But I still couldn't help asking.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head. said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
Yang Ruyu's expression was instantly disappointed, Jiang Chengzi saw it in his eyes, and said again: "However, although the eldest sister can rest assured, the other party is an extraordinary person." ”
When Yang Ruyu heard this, she was so surprised that she didn't know where to put her hand.
Jiang Chengzi walked over, took her hand and said, "Relax, you are the noble daughter of the Hongnong Yang family." Whoever wants to marry you has to be a blessing that the other party has cultivated for eight lifetimes. Our Yang daughter. Everybody has to fight for it. ”
When Yang Ruyu heard this, tears rolled down, and she whimpered and said, "In the past, I also cursed Ah Zhi. ”
"Eldest sister, there is no need to mention the past, just talk to my eldest brother, mother, father and me. No matter when and where, other people are outsiders, even if it is your future husband, you must be clear. If he is a human being, he will naturally take a fancy to you because of the glory and weight inherited behind you. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.
In a sense, Yang Ruyu married the crown prince and was not a concubine, although it was regarded as glory, it always involved the art of the emperor. Yang Ruyu is smart, but she is afraid that she will not be able to carry it at the critical moment. So, she took the lead in giving her a preventive shot to remind her.
Yang Ruyu chewed slightly, and realized that her sister-in-law was telling her that after marrying in the future, she must be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and understand that whether she is doing well in her husband's family depends on whether her mother's family is good or not. This sister is for her to understand and weigh it.
Yang Ruyu chewed this clearly, cold sweat was dripping on her body, and she only felt that this sister was so powerful.
"The eldest sister understands. Yang Ruyu patted Jiang Chengzi's hand, her excitement and joy at the possibility of marrying a noble person were all gone, and she was very calm at this moment.
"Eldest sister, remember, you represent the Yang family's six rooms, and also represent the glory of the Yang family. And behind you, there are us, there are the six rooms of the Yang family, and the entire Hongnong Yang family. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.
Yang Ruyu didn't seem to understand, and didn't continue to ask Jiang Chengzi, just bit her lip and nodded.
Jiang Chengzi patted the back of her hand and said, "Eldest sister can start preparing the wedding dress, and good things are near." ”
Yang Ruyu immediately shook her head and said, "No, if people see it, they will think that I hate to marry." ”
Jiang Chengzi secretly thought in his heart, "Don't you hate to marry?" but said on his face: "Life is just a few autumns, what do we care about what others think? ”
Yang Ruyu felt that her sister was right, and she was also very envious of her sister's unbridled and chic life, but she still shook her head resolutely and said, "Forget it." ”
"That's up to you, I'm just afraid that you will do it again then, it's too late. Jiang Chengzi shrugged.
"Hmm. Yang Ruyu nodded, but her heart was completely what her sister had just said, and she had to chew it on now. In this family, my sister's words are very important, that is, my parents have to ask my sister about their major decisions.
Jiang Chengzi also told what he should have told, and felt that he didn't have much to say to Yang Ruyu. In her previous life, she didn't have any so-called girlfriends, some of them were comrades-in-arms, and she talked about life and death every day, where would she talk about the sentimentality of her little daughter.
Therefore, after saying what should be said, Jiang Chengzi said goodbye and went back to the house to rest. In recent days, Yantian has used her salt-making method, which is both simple and exquisite, and the yield of fine salt has greatly increased. In addition, Huojing Village has also officially started to draw brine and boil salt, the fuel is ready-made, and the process is a little cumbersome, but it can also produce a lot of salt. Jiang Chengzi was involved in designing various drawings and mobilizing various craftsmen to make the Yantian matter almost complete. Next, I found that Yantian and other things can be handed over to the eldest brother to do, anyway, the templates and design drawings are ready, and the familiar craftsmen have also been trained.
This can be regarded as the reputation of the Gewu Academy, and the next thing to go back to Chang'an should be to break your fingers and wait for instructions from above.
Do it all. The winter solstice is coming, and when he came back from shopping with his mother and selling clothes, Jiang Chengzi suddenly felt tired. I want to get a good night's sleep.
She went back to the house and lay down on the bed, covered with a quilt, the floor heating made people drowsy, she lowered the curtain, and locked herself between the square inch of the world, feeling comfortable and warm.
Jiang Chengzi lay down for a moment, letting his breath wander all over his body. Until you feel your limbs open and your body and mind relaxed. Then, she rolled over. Sleep comfortably with the quilt in your arms.
When she woke up, Shi Shiran opened her eyes, only to find that there were several people around the bed. The person sitting on the edge of the bed was Li Ke, who was looking at her intently, and Yang Wang's family, Yunzhu, Mama Zhou, and eldest brother were also on the side.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Chengzi felt very strange. While sitting up. While asking.
Everyone didn't speak, Li Ke frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zi, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Jiang Chengzi looked at him suspiciously, shook his head, and said, "There's nothing uncomfortable." ”
"Is that a dream?" asked Li Ke.
Jiang Chengzi thought about it, slept very comfortably, and then shook his head and replied, "No." ”
"Is there really any discomfort?" asked Yang Wangshi with great concern.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head again. Asked, "You're all here, what's wrong with me?"
Li Ke nodded. Say, "You slept for five days and five nights." On that day, Mama Zhou came to wake you up for dinner, but found that she couldn't wake up, so she invited the doctor to come to check the pulse, and the doctor was shocked, only saying that the pulse was weak, as if there was nothing, and there was a dying look. In the past few days, I have invited a lot of doctors, and even went to Chang'an non-stop to ask His Majesty, hoping to invite Imperial Doctor Chen, maybe Imperial Doctor Chen is already on the way. Ah Zi, you-"
When Li Ke said this, his worry was beyond words, but he couldn't say any more, he just looked at her in a daze, and Jiang Chengzi was terrified, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable and rejuvenate his muscles and bones, and check if there was anything wrong with him.
After checking it, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with me, and I calmed down a little, only to find that the strength in my body seemed to be more abundant than before, and the spirit was actually better than before.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Jiang Chengzi was very puzzled.
"Are you sure?" Yang Qingrang couldn't help asking, pushed Li Ke to the side, and went straight to look at his sister.
"Big brother, it's fine. Jiang Chengzi replied as he turned over and got out of bed.
She didn't have anything, Yang Wang's and Mama Zhou came over at once, covered the quilt, and shouted: "Ah Zhi, you are in a daze." ”
Before Jiang Chengzi could react, Yang Qingrang had already blushed and said embarrassedly that he was going to find a doctor to take a look at Azhi's body, and Li Ke also said that he would cook porridge for her, she hadn't eaten for five days and five nights.
The two men walked out, and Yang Wangcai reached out to stroke Jiang Chengzi's forehead in distress, and said, "Ah Zhi, the eldest brother and the king of Shu are present, you just lifted the quilt like this, you were not like this before." It's confused at this time, you still tell A-Niang that it's okay. ”
Yang Wang said, tears rolling in his eyes. Jiang Chengzi suddenly realized that it was his own actions that made Yang Wang believe that she was in poor health. Actually, it was because Jiang Chengzi forgot about it when she talked to everyone, and besides, she just took off her outer skirt when she slept, and she still wore tight pants inside, and in modern society, no one said that she wore so tightly and wandered around the downtown area to buy steamed buns.
"Auntie, don't be sad. I just woke up and talked to you, and I forgot to be rude for a while, and I'm fine. Jiang Chengzi hurriedly explained.
Yang Wang didn't believe it, and even Mama Zhou, Yunzhu, and Yang Ruyu didn't believe it. Yang Wang helped her put on her clothes and put on a big hat, and combed her hair at the same time.
Mama Zhou and Yunzhu brought hot water to groom her. When everything was in order, Li Ke personally came with a tray, and on the tray was the millet chicken porridge that had been boiled a long time ago.
Doctor Chen from Jiangfu also came together, looked at it and asked about it, gasped, and said: "It's strange, the pulse of the Nine Girls is slower than others, it seems to be nothing, but there is nothing wrong. ”
"Doctor, are you saying that Ah Zhi is not sick?" asked Yang Wang.
Dr. Chen didn't dare to make judgments, and after thinking about it, he said: "It stands to reason that if there is such a weak pulse, people will definitely be drowsy, and they will not be as awake as the Nine Girls; ”
Jiang Chengzi was also worried about what was wrong with the ability at first, but after using it, he only felt that he was still full of energy and light as a swallow, so he said with a little reassurance: "This is the realm that my master taught me to cultivate, you don't have to make a fuss." I have been weak since I was a child, and Master wants me to be stronger. ”
"I see. Dr. Chen nodded.
"Really?" Li Ke was still not at ease, staring at her directly, wanting to say something. After all, he knew that Jiang Chengzi had the ability to predict the future and understood the knowledge of those things, and the reason was that she came from more than a thousand years later.
Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Li Ke sank his face and didn't continue to ask. However, Yang Wang and Mama Zhou were suspicious, and asked Dr. Chen to check it for her.
"I'm fine. It's probably because some time ago, I was too tired to run around and work day and night for the preparation of Yantian. So sleep longer. Jiang Chengzi comforted everyone.
In order to be accurate, Dr. Chen made another diagnosis, but still came to the previous conclusion. Jiang Chengzi said that he had been hungry for a long time after sleeping for these days, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he pushed everyone away and threw himself on the tray of millet chicken porridge, and drank a bowl with a spoon.
"Gone?" she looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke still looked at her worriedly. She asked again, "Gone?"
"The ninth girl hasn't eaten for five days, so she shouldn't eat too much at the moment. Eat a bowl first, wait half an hour before eating. Li Ke didn't answer, but Dr. Chen gave professional advice from the perspective of a doctor.
Jiang Chengzi smashed his mouth, expressing his disappointment. Dr. Chen didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately retired. Jiang Chengzi said goodbye to him, but felt that this Doctor Chen's face was wrong, and he seemed to be a little scared.
"What's wrong with this Dr. Chen? He has always been a doctor with a benevolent heart and a wonderful hand to rejuvenate. It's an indifferent person, how can he be frightened now?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
When Yang Wang heard this, he frowned, only saying that she was awake and had to report to Yang Shuyue. Mama Zhou, Yang Ruyu, and Yunzhu also walked away together. Jiang Chengzi felt that there was something in it, so he looked at the two men in the room and asked, "What's wrong with Dr. Chen?"
Yang Qingrang glanced at Li Ke and said, "What else? Some people say that if you can't wake up, you will be buried with Dr. Chen's ancestors for eight generations." ”
Jiang Chengzi was stunned and raised his eyes to look at Li Ke. Li Ke was uncomfortable, coughed twice, and said, "I, I'm in a hurry, and I made a mistake." ”
"Slip of the tongue, you're about to eat people like that, and you still have a slip of the tongue?" Yang Qingrang's tone was disdainful, and he immediately fell into the trap for Li Ke.
It's no wonder that Yang Qingrang is not interested in Li Ke, and he doesn't have a good face. It's true that he is good to his sister-in-law, but he should deal with his mess and officially come to the door to ask for marriage, and the Ming media is marrying. Now, he hasn't handled a bunch of bad things properly, so he announced that the world has taken a fancy to Yang's Azhi, and he runs to Yang's sixth room every once in a while.
This is simply an open fire battle, he is dedicated to protecting his sister, and now that he is not doing well, he naturally has no good impression of Li Ke, the culprit. Therefore, he basically seized the opportunity and fell into the trap.
"Yang Jia, if you don't fall into the well, will you die?" Li Ke glared at him unhappily.
Yang Qingrang glared back and said, "After the winter solstice, you will get out of the house and deal with the Yang family's ancestral house thoroughly, otherwise don't come to ruin Azhi's reputation." (To be continued.) )
