279: Liwei
When Xia Ruan changed his clothes and came out, he looked up at the sky.
In the distant clouds, wisps of light pierced through the sea of clouds, and the clear mist was gradually dispelled by the sunlight.
In the morning light, the flowers and plants in the courtyard looked delicate because of the rain last night.
When Xiao Jiu came out, he saw his wife, standing thoughtfully under the corridor.
"Ah Ruan-" Xiao Jiu slowly approached, stretched out his white hand like beautiful jade, and gently touched Xia Ruan's nose, "Don't stand here, you will catch a cold." ”
Xia Ruan raised his head in astonishment, only to see Xiao Jiu's eyes smiling, handsome and dazzling.
This man is her husband.
Xia Ruan didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and finally Xiao Jiu held her hand and led her towards the main courtyard, and her eyes regained a trace of clarity.
Breakfast had already been prepared, and the light side dishes were very much in line with Xia Ruan's appetite.
It's just that Xia Ruan was still a little worried about Xiao Yuanxi, and after breakfast, before she could ask, she heard Xiao Jiu say: "Early this morning, Lao Zhong told me that Dr. Zhou is back." ”
Xia Ruan pursed her lips and did not speak.
Yesterday, she clearly heard Xiu'er say that Dr. Zhou had returned to the countryside. But if Dr. Zhou really went back to the countryside, why did he rush back early in the morning.
The reason for this, even if Xiao Jiu doesn't say it, she can guess a few points.
Chun'er's matter, Xiao Jiu handed it over to her to deal with, also to give her a chance to gain a firm foothold in the inner house. There are many people in the Chang'an Hou Mansion who were selected from the Lin family, and some of these people will inevitably rely on the old and sell the old, and they are a little disrespectful to Xia Ruan in private.
It's just that these people are no longer rude. Xia Ruan wouldn't tell Xiao Jiu either. After all, Xiao Jiu has been busy with the affairs of the eldest prince and the sixth prince in the court these days. At this time, she naturally didn't want to bother Xiao Jiu for these little things.
However, this is the Chang'an Hou Mansion and not the Xia family, and she is also tied up in many things.
She didn't say this, so she thought that Xiao Jiu didn't know.
It's just that paper can't hold the fire.
Last night, Xiao Jiu seemed to have figured out everything.
He seemed to be quiet, but yesterday he reprimanded Chun'er and Xiu'er for her.
Xia Ruan suddenly understood. Something. She couldn't run away any longer.
She is the hostess here, and the affairs of the inner house should naturally be handled properly.
Xiao Jiu was busy with government affairs and shouldn't be distracted by the affairs of the inner house.
"Madam......" Duran's voice came from outside the house, "Mother Lu is here." ”
Mother Lu is the mother-in-law who has been with Aunt Lin for many years. He is the oldest group of the Lin family. Mrs. Lin was used to being taken care of by Mother Lu. During these days, he was even more dependent on Lu's mother. So Mother Lu would appear here, and Xia Ruan naturally understood what Aunt Lin meant.
Lu's mother wants to bow her head to her, so who will dare to follow Chun'er's appearance and show off her power in front of her in the future?
"Let her in." Xia Ruan put down the teacup in his hand. Only then did he say slowly to the outside of the house.
Xiao Jiu had a faint smile on his lips, and he sat on Xia Ruan's side, taking in all of Xia Ruan's expressions.
There are some things that he has to let his wife face on her own.
After Mother Lu entered the door, she saluted Xia Ruan: "The old slave has asked the master to say goodbye to the lady." The old slave should have come to greet the Hou Ye and his wife a long time ago, but he didn't dare to disturb him recently. Today, Mrs. asked the old slave to bring some things over, hoping that Mrs. would accept them. ”
Xia Ruan smiled: "Thank you, madam." ”
Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief slowly, it seems that Mrs. is not as difficult to get along with as Chun'er said.
Late yesterday night, Miss Thirteen had a high fever that did not subside, and Chun'er was so bold that she did not come to tell Aunt Lin. This matter, if it weren't for Mother Lu's mother going to the kitchen early in the morning and hearing the discussion of the next person, she wouldn't know about Miss Thirteen at all.
Chun'er was too arrogant to do this, and after Aunt Lin found out, the old man, who had never been angry, angrily broke the porcelain on the table.
After the master went, Aunt Lin became more and more silent year by year. Many times, Mrs. Lin always likes to sit quietly in the yard alone, and she is basically in a daze for a few hours.
When Mother Lu saw Mrs. Lin like this, she was a little worried.
If the young master comes to marry a spicy lady, then Aunt Lin doesn't know how many sins she will suffer.
Aunt Lin doesn't like the things in the inner house, if she hadn't met the lord at the beginning, presumably Mrs. Lin would never have seen how sinister people's hearts are in the inner house in her life. Afterward. Mrs. Lin learned to deal with the affairs of the inner house, but unfortunately the master went like this.
Fortunately, the young master is angry, otherwise Aunt Lin will be even more sad over the years.
While thinking about things, Lu's mother asked people to send things in.
What Madame did last night, she and Mrs. Lin basically knew. Chun'er came to her early in the morning to cry, and at that time she reprimanded Chun'er fiercely, eager to drive Chun'er back to Lin's house. But at this time, Mrs. Lin didn't let her interfere in this matter......
Mother Lu didn't understand what Aunt Lin meant, so she had to give up.
After all, she's just a subordinate.
There are some good things that I really can't say much.
"Mother Lu, please take a seat." Xia Ruan saw that Lu's mother was old, and it was not a problem to stand like this, "Sit down and talk." ”
Mother Lu shook her head: "The old slave doesn't dare to cross the rules. ”
The people brought by Lu's mother to help Mrs. Lin give gifts were all old people brought by the Lin family. These people could naturally hear the conversation between Mother Lu and Xia Ruan clearly, and none of them dared to gasp, looking down at their uppers.
When Xia Ruan saw Lu's mother say this, she was no longer reluctant.
After all, it was the kindness of Aunt Lin and Mother Lu, and she didn't want to make the scene embarrassing.
Mother Lu personally sent Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu outside the mansion.
The coachman had already set up the footstool and stood respectfully to the side.
Xia Ruan seemed to be a little weak when she walked because she hadn't rested well all night, so Xiao Jiu hurriedly went up and helped her steady: "Be careful, don't fall." ”
With that, Xiao Jiu personally served Xia Ruan into the carriage.
Xia Ruan was a little ignorant in his mind, but he still listened to Xiao Jiu's words and entered the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate.
Naturally, she didn't want her mother to see her tiredness. Mother must be distressed.
Xiao Jiu did it naturally, but Mother Lu, who was looking at it, had round eyes.
She never thought that the young master, who was cold and noble on weekdays, would actually do these things for his wife.
The young master had a smile on his face, but Mother Lu knew that this smile was actually just a habit of the young master, and no matter who the young master came into contact with, he would always carry some distance. No matter how long she has been with Aunt Lin, she has never seen the young master work so hard for that girl.
Mother Lu sighed, then turned around and entered the house.
Chun'er, this girl is too stupid.
If she is a safe person, she must be able to continue to live in this Chang'an Hou Mansion for a few more years. But she was restless...... Next. It's up to Madame to deal with this girl. Mother Lu knew that when Madame was in the boudoir. It's a shrewd girl. Now this shrewd girl has become a smart and measured woman, and Chun'er's future may be very miserable.
However, Lu's mother did not sympathize with Chun'er at all. She brought it on herself.
……
The carriage went slowly and steadily. The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone ground. Make a 'click' sound.
When Xiao Jiu asked Xia Ruan to snuggle up on his shoulder, Xia Ruan showed some surprise.
However, Xiao Jiu insisted on doing so. Xia Ruan couldn't refute Xiao Jiu's kindness.
She was indeed a little tired.
Her body has not been very good, and the root cause of the disease that fell when she was a child has not been completely cured until now. In the past few days, Du Ruo has made a lot of medicines for her to condition her body, those medicines are pungent and bitter, Xia Ruan sometimes takes them, and she can't help but vomit out because of the rejection of her spleen and stomach. But even so, she still took these medicines in a regular manner.
She must take care of her body, because she and Xiao Jiu will have children, and she doesn't want children to be in the same health as her in the future.
I don't know how long it took for Xiao Jiu to whisper in her ear: "Ah Ruan, it's here." ”
Xia Ruan slowly opened his eyes, and then looked at Xiao Jiu with a confused expression.
Looking at Xia Ruan like this, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but smile, "Ah Ruan, at the beginning of spring next year, let's go back to Xue Yang." ”
Xue Yanglin's family, Xia Ruan has heard people mention it many times around Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu's maternal grandfather is a powerful figure, although he is not famous in the officialdom, but his status in the rivers and lakes is not short.
Xia Ruan is completely unfamiliar with this place.
"Can I go?" Xia Ruan thought for a moment before asking softly.
As soon as her words fell, Xiao Jiu couldn't help laughing: "Why can't you go?" You're my wife. My grandfather also wanted to see you, but he said that he would take you there when things in the capital settled down during this time. ”
She originally thought that Xiao Jiu's maternal grandfather, like Aunt Lin, was a person who liked to be quiet, so naturally she had no intention of disturbing. After all, she couldn't win the love of the old man, and Mrs. Yue obviously looked at her very unpleasantly.
At this time, her heart was slightly nervous.
What should I do?
In case the old man doesn't like her, will she give Xiao Jiu no face?
Xiao Jiu saw the nervousness in Xia Ruan's expression, so he got closer to Xia Ruan, "Ah Ruan, if you can take our children with you, your grandfather will definitely be happier." ”
He said it lightly, as if it were a very ordinary thing.
But in this way, it made Xia Ruan blush.
However, Xiao Jiu successfully diverted Xia Ruan's attention, because in Xia Ruan's mind, all that appeared at this time was the word child.
Child...... Child......
Xia Ruan really wanted the children that belonged to her and Xiao Jiu.
After Xiao Jiu got off the carriage, he helped his wife, who was still stunned, to get off the carriage.
Cuiliu stood outside the mansion at this time, looking at Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan's affectionate appearance, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The relationship between the young lady and the aunt is good, and the lady can also feel at ease.
It's just that Cuiliu didn't notice that Jia Hei, who was standing next to her, had some panic in his expression at this time. (To be continued......)
