10. Kites
Jia Min picked an auspicious day and cleaned up a room in the backyard. Let people arrange it, send a set of noodles, four good materials, and send two little girls to serve, and officially raise her as an aunt.
"In addition to these, send a table of banquets to the backyard, so that they can enjoy themselves and be happy." Jia Min didn't know what to think of, and smiled slightly.
"Yes, they have a kind master like you, which is really cultivated in the previous life." Mama Jin smiled and ordered.
"I don't have any clothes." Jia Min waited for Mama Jin to leave, and then asked Suzi.
"Reward, according to your instructions, the slave maid has seen it for herself, and that Aunt Mo must be the most brilliant in rose red. Specially ordered rose gold clothing, with your head and face, it really lifted her. Su Zi was a little unconvinced, and didn't understand how Mrs. could promote such an aunt, but she didn't dare to ask.
Jia Min naturally didn't explain, and nodded with a smile, "This is very good, it's always a big deal for her, let people take a look, but if there's anything missing, hurry up and make up for it." If it's not for her, I can't let the old man go at night and be unsatisfactory. ”
"Yes, the slave will arrange for someone to go." Su Zi walked out of the upper room, and the smile on Jia Min's face disappeared suddenly. The two aunts who raised up through the room were about the same age as her, and the lord had long lost interest in them. The Communist Party is a little affection for the companionship of teenagers, and it is just for them to provide for the elderly.
Aunt Hao relied on the fact that her family was a good citizen, and she was young, so she seemed to be the head of the aunt in the backyard. The identity of the new Aunt Mo is not as good as her, but she is young and beautiful, and she is the new love of the master. Now the four of them live in the same courtyard, and they are afraid that they will not fight in the ring.
If you have the ability to collude with whistleblowers, you should have the ability to fight in the ring. Jia Min held his chin and said in his heart, don't let me down.
Early the next morning, Mo Xiang went to the upper room to kowtow to Jia Min for tea, Jia Min took the tea and took a sip, accepted the needlework she entered, and asked Su Zi to reward her with a bracelet inlaid with opal. Squinted and saw that Lin Ruhai, who was sitting next to him, did not look at her, and raised her hand to ask Su Zi to help her up.
"We have only been in Jinling for a short time, and this house was also purchased in a hurry, and we only cleaned up a few yards and came out to live first. I know that I have wronged my sisters, and after a while, I will clean up the back, and I can also make your life more spacious. ”
Jia Min knew that she was young and knew that she must be beautiful, but she was still a little shocked when she saw her beautiful glamorous light and all the amorous style revealed in her gestures. It is said that there are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and they really live up to their reputation.
"Madame has broken Moxiang, Moxiang just never dreamed that she could have today's life, being able to serve the lord and Mrs. is already a great blessing for Moxiang, don't ask for more, it will be a blessing." Mo Xiang stood up in fear, lowered her head, and only dared to look at Jia Min's skirt to speak.
Jia Min nodded, "I don't need you to serve here, you don't have anything to do on weekdays to visit the garden, do needlework with a few sisters in the backyard, and wipe cards, I don't restrict you." There is only one, serving a good master, which is the greatest credit. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Mo Xiang kowtowed. As soon as I went out, I saw a female doll wearing a pink spring shirt and a gold collar around her neck. Neither of them expected to meet someone here, and their eyes bumped into each other, and Mo Xiang hurriedly blessed him, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”
When I looked down, I saw a pair of small soft satin embroidered shoes, with a carp embroidered with gold thread on the upper and fish eyes inlaid with pearls. Mo Xiang seemed to see a pair of fish eyes staring at him coldly, and couldn't help but shudder.
Daiyu knew that she was the new aunt, nodded reservedly, and staggered past her with a tense face.
"Daddy." Daiyu entered the upper room, flew to Lin Ruhai, and was caught by him and rested on his lap.
Jia Min looked at it and smiled, shook his head and sighed: "They are not small anymore, they were busy inside and out before, but now they have to set up the rules, but they can't go on like this." ”
"They're still young." Lin Ruhai touched her daughter's hair, seeing her squinting and smiling, her heart was about to melt, where did she want to get the rules and regulations.
"Sir, didn't you say take them to the streets? If you don't go, it's too late. Jia Min doesn't want to fight with him for anything, anyway, the rules must be established, and when he comes back from buying things, he will start to collect his heart, and what he should learn can't be delayed.
Jingyu was also hugged in, and when she heard that she was on the street, she followed and coaxed. He's lost a lot of weight lately, but he's more energetic and less lethargic than he used to be.
A family of four got into a carriage and went to Dongguan Street, the most prosperous street in Yangzhou. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min said: "The shop I asked the cold housekeeper to find is on Dongguan Street, and you will see if it suits you in a while." ”
"I'm a woman, where do I know if it's good or bad, and if the lord says it's good, it's good." As soon as Jia Min heard Dongguan Street, he was already a hundred willing in his heart. I heard from the companion that Dongguan Street is the most prosperous and business-friendly area in Yangzhou. They searched for a long time but didn't find a suitable shop, but they didn't expect Lin Ruhai to say a word.
"Kite ......" Daiyu, who lifted the curtain and looked out, saw a string of kites tied to the vendors along the street and pointed it to Jingyu.
"Then let's go to the Fan family, who sells kites, first." Lin Ruhai saw his son pointing to the kite outside and looked at him expectantly, laughing and commanding.
The Fan family shop on Dongguan Street is almost unknown to everyone in Yangzhou. Selling kites in spring and lanterns in winter, a pair of skills has been passed down for generations, and the kite tied by the head of the family has reached the point where you can't get the goods without booking.
Daiyu listened to Lin Ruhai's eloquent conversation, thinking that he had only been here for a few months, and he even knew everything about a kite shop. It shows that he has really worked hard in the past few months, and he still wronged him when he was rolling in the wind and moon.
Lin Ruhai used a carriage without any emblems, and he was also wearing homely clothes, but he didn't want to alarm too much and disturb the children's interest. But no matter how homely it is, the clothes and pomp of this family are easy to see at a glance, and they are either rich or expensive.
The shopkeeper personally greeted Lin Ruhai's family, invited them to the quiet room, served fragrant tea, and asked people to send the most exquisite kites to them to see. Daiyu knew that Hongyun was martial, so she ordered a set of twelve Romance of the Three Kingdoms kites, Guan Yun was dancing with a big knife, and Zhao Zilong was riding a white horse and looked majestic. ordered a few fairies that Jingyu liked, and by the way, she asked Lin Ruhai to promise that she would come here to buy lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
"What's so difficult about this, when the time comes, let them come to the door with lanterns for you to choose." Lin Ruhai had no reason not to agree, as soon as he asked his subordinates to take the kite, someone knelt in front of him with a "poof".
An old man with a white beard knelt in front of Lin Ruhai, and Daiyu and Jingyu were hugged by the grandmothers at that time. Jia Min also glanced at Lin Ruhai, and accompanied the child to the carriage to wait for him.
Daiyu thought to herself, this should be a drama staged, the common people were persecuted by the powerful, and there was no way to ask for help.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly said that it was not good. Powerful? Who was the powerful in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as he thought of this, his little face wrinkled, the Lin family was already eventful, so let's not cause trouble.
After a while, Lin Ruhai got into the car and didn't mention anything. Jia Min didn't ask anything, just stroked his forehead inadvertently, "I suddenly felt some pain in my head." ”
"Then let's go back first, I'll let the cold butler buy the other things, and you can see it then." Lin Ruhai was frowning slightly, but at this time he smiled and held Jia Min's hand.
Daiyu naturally won't make trouble, Jingyu is holding her fairy kite, and she doesn't know what shopping means at all, and of course she has no opinion. So the family of four went to a kite shop and turned back as it was.
A pair of children were carried back to their house by their grandmothers, Jia Min waved away the people in the house, and handed the tea to Lin Ruhai with his own hands, "Master, what's wrong." ”
Lin Ruhai didn't take the tea, but walked around the room with his hands on his back, his brows frowning deeper and deeper, and he didn't say a word.
Jia Min was frightened by him, and didn't say a word, and finally waited for him to open his mouth, and the first thing he said was, "The prince ...... him"
An old man selling kites, how could he have anything to do with the prince, Jia Min's eyes widened, and he looked at him with a frightened expression.
Lin Ruhai sighed, but he was not in a hurry, "We may be wrong." ”
What was wrong, what was wrong, Lin Ruhai didn't say, Jia Min didn't ask, the two of them just were silent for a long time.
Daiyu was carried back to her room, and Agarwood found the colored thread to show her. Make a string of five bats and let her play with it in her hand. Each bat is only the size of a fingernail, but it is lifelike, Daiyu pulled out a colored line to learn, and Mama Wang saw that the sun was sufficient, so she nodded.
"Let's learn the simplest auspicious clouds first, and when we learn this well, we can learn something else." Agarwood hugged Daiyu to her lap and taught her how to weave it hand in hand.
"For my mother, for my brother, and for my father." Daiyu nodded vigorously, her mind was not on the network at all, she was still thinking about what was the matter with the old kite seller's kneeling.
But she won't know about these things, except for Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, no third person in the Lin family knows. After reading the gifts selected by the cold housekeeper and sending them to Jinling, Daiyu accompanied Jingyu to fly a kite for a month.
A month later, the Fan family bought two exquisite and unusual kites, a fairy monkey offering a peach, and a golden rooster announcing the dawn. The most wonderful thing is that flying into the sky, whether it is a fairy monkey or a golden rooster, the outline is a circle of golden light, as if it is hooked with gold thread.
can take it down, and I can't see the clue. As a joke to Lin Ruhai, he smiled, "They have a heart, the thread hooked with gold dust mixed with ink can reveal the gold when placed in the light." ”
"I see, we have been guessing for a long time, but the master has solved his confusion with a word." Jia Min smiled, but there was an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min and comforted.
Daiyu silently touched a kite, they were saying a code, but it seemed that no matter what it was, the matter was solved anyway.
