268: After marriage
The candlesticks burned to the end, the sky had already brightened, and Duran blushed and was a little overwhelmed.
When Du Ruo came over, he saw Du Lan's appearance. He could only sigh under his breath, and then slowly pushed the door in.
At this time, there was no movement in the tent.
Xia Ruan's daily routine is regular, and when the dawn rises, it will definitely not be delayed until now.
Du Lan lowered his voice and said to Du Ruo: "Master Hou said, let the young lady rest well, but this is all ...... It's been this hour, sister, do you want to call Miss to get up? ”
For a while, Du Ruo also hesitated.
Aunt Lin told them last night that she was unwell, so she didn't need Xia Ruan to go over to say goodbye. In addition, when Xiao Jiu went to court, he instructed many times to let Xia Ruan rest more. Du Ruo didn't know whether to call Xia Ruan to get up.
After all, yesterday was the wedding night.
Du Ruo hesitated, only to see half a jade arm stretched out from the big red curtain.
Xia Ruan's sleeping posture has not been good all these years, and Du Ruo didn't personally watch the night yesterday, so he was afraid that Xia Ruan would catch a cold, so he couldn't help shouting: "Madam? ”
There was finally some movement in the tent, and Xia Ruan's hoarse voice came after half a ring: "What time is it?" ”
"It's three quarters of the hour." If it weren't for the fact that the hour was getting late, Du Ruoye and Du Lan would not have come to urge Xia Ruan to get up, for fear that she would be hungry.
After a while, Xia Ruan said, "You guys go out, I'm dressed, you can come in again." ”
Du Ruo and Du Lan hurriedly retreated, and Xia Ruan slowly breathed a sigh of relief before slowly getting up.
Although Du Ruo and Du Lan have served her all these years, they have long been used to it. But Xiao Jiu tossed too much last night, and left some traces on her body. She blushed when she saw it herself, how could she let Du Ruo and Du Lan see this?
She was in terrible pain, as if the pleasure of yesterday was completely absent.
She shook her head helplessly, put on her clothes, and called Du Ruo and Du Lan in.
When Duran saw Xia Ruan, he almost exclaimed.
After serving Xia Ruan for so many years, it is the first time to see Xia Ruan who has no spirit.
Xia Ruan rubbed her eyes, she didn't notice Du Lan's movements, she just felt that she was still very sleepy. Weakness.
After all, Du Ruo is from the past. She saw that the two black shadows under Xia Ruan's eyes were thick and heavy, and she knew what was going on. While taking out the balm and applying it to Xia Ruan for a while, there was some worry in his eyes.
Xia Ruan was still a little confused, and by the time she came to her senses, Duran had already fetched hot water. Xia Ruan looked at himself with a tired face. I knew what was going on with the worry in Du Ruo's eyes just now.
Suddenly. Xia Ruan's heart. I felt even more embarrassed.
Du Ruo combed Xia Ruan with a bun that newlyweds often comb, and Bai Zhi walked over holding the rouge and luodai contained in the Hetian jade box. Ai Ye handed the jewelry and head flower to Xia Ruan to choose, and the four of them were busy for a while. Only then did Du Ruo be satisfied.
Du Ruo understands medicine, so the fat powder balm used by Xia Ruan is all from her hands.
The antler paste in her hand is accompanied by herbs such as Angelica Angelica, White Aconite, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, Almonds, Aconitum almonds, Asparagus and so on...... In terms of smell and effect, it is much stronger than what is sold outside.
Xia Ruan glanced at herself in the mirror, without the slightest tiredness, and was very satisfied.
Du Ruo asked on the side, "Miss, do you want to eat?" ”
"Wait...... First go to the wife's house to serve tea, I am afraid it will be a little late. Xia Ruan hesitated for a while, a little worried.
Nan Xiao's elders are the only ones left, Aunt Lin, and Xia Ruan also has a good impression of Aunt Lin. So because I got up too late and didn't give Aunt Lin tea in time, I felt that I was too negligent. Moreover, as a wife, she never knew when her husband left.
Xia Ruan felt that she was not a good wife, so she felt a little guilty.
"Ma'am." After Du Lan heard Xia Ruan's words, he looked a little helpless, "Mrs. said that she was unwell, so you don't have to go over to serve tea." Hou Ye instructed the slave maid to prepare side dishes in the kitchen, and now it is still warm, the slave and maid will bring it to you first, right? ”
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood the meaning of Aunt Lin's words.
Nan Xiao had such a thing, and Aunt Lin had also had ups and downs over the years. She is now eating fasting and chanting Buddha almost every day, if it weren't for Xiao Jiu's marriage, she wouldn't have come to the capital on purpose. Aunt Lin said this, although it was an excuse, but she also felt sorry for Xiao Jiu to some extent, so she waived these so-called etiquette.
Because she is now Xiao Jiu's wife, Aunt Lin can be regarded as loving the house and Wu.
Aunt Lin's matter, Xia Ruan had never heard Xiao Jiu talk about it. However, from Aunt Lin's words and demeanor, she guessed that Aunt Lin's maiden family background would not be too low, why would she marry Xiao Jiu's father and not have any name, but she didn't understand it too much.
Xia Ruan gathered his thoughts and nodded: "Send it up." ”
At this time, it was already summer, and the flowers in the yard were blooming, and Li knew that she liked camellias, so she moved all the camellias in her yard. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu's yard is big, otherwise I don't know where those camellias are placed.
In addition to the four maids she brought over, Aunt Lin also dialed a few little maids to come over to serve. She is now Mrs. Marquis of Chang'an, and her status is naturally different from before, and there are more people around her.
Xia Ruan Xijing felt a little uncomfortable. But she knew that there were some rules that still had to be taught.
After all, Aunt Lin is well-intentioned, although she was also Mrs. Houmen in her previous life, there were only two maids around her.
After eating, Xia Ruan walked around the mansion. Aunt Lin didn't plan to take care of the affairs of the house at all, she had to take care of everything herself.
Du Lan pointed to the small garden not far away and said, "Over there is the Chunfang Garden where Miss Thirteen lives. ”
Xia Ruan was stunned and was about to take a detour and walk away, but saw a pink little girl running out of it. Because the action was too anxious, he almost fell in front of her in the end.
The little girl's eyes were extremely beautiful, and she was out of breath after only a few steps, and her face became even paler.
The maid who followed the little girl walked up at this time, and she hurriedly saluted Xia Ruan: "Slave Xiu'er." Greetings to Madame. ”
"Get up." Xia Ruan smiled faintly, and Du Ruo took the broken silver and rewarded it.
The little girl saw Xiu'er coming over, and then grabbed Xiu'er's clothes tightly, and pointed at Xia Ruan a few times.
Xiu'er showed a look of sudden realization, then wiped the cold sweat off her forehead before saying to Xia Ruan: "Madam, this is Miss Thirteen, she said that she wants to give you something." ”
Listening to Xiu'er's explanation, Xia Ruan understood. The little girl standing in front of her. It is Xiao Jiu's sister Xiao Yuanxi.
Her heart felt as if it had been stung by something, and her heart ached terribly.
She squatted down, and then beckoned to Xiao Yuanxi, "Does Xiaoxi want to give me something?" What is it? ”
Xiao Yuanxi's eyes widened and he looked at Xia Ruan in some surprise. Then he slowly let go of Xiu'er's clothes. looked at Xia Ruan and didn't dare to move. Like a frightened little beast.
Xia Ruan heard about Xiao Yuanxi when he was in Dongyang County.
Aunt Lin gave birth to a pair of twins, one of whom is Xiao Yuanxi and the other is Xiao Yuanan.
It's just that Xiao Yuanan died for some reason. Aunt Lin was sad and neglected Xiao Yuanan for a few days. When she found out, Xiao Yuanxi, a usually well-behaved child, actually had a high fever. In just a few days, Xiao Yuanxi almost went with Xiao Yuanan, Aunt Lin was anxious to find a famous doctor everywhere, and finally let Xiao Yuanxi survive.
However, the child was deaf in one ear and could no longer speak.
It is very pitiful for a child under the age of ten to become like this.
Xiao Jiu is a person with strong self-esteem, how did he spend these days at that time?
Although these injuries are all in Aunt Lin's heart, Xiao Jiu must be more uncomfortable than Aunt Lin, right?
Xia Ruan thought of this, and the sourness in his heart became even greater.
Xia Ruan likes children, so when he saw Xiao Yuanxi at this time, the love in his heart kept pouring out.
"Come, come...... Hi Kid. Xia Ruan continued to smile and beckoned to Xiao Yuanxi.
Her face was already pure and kind, plus Xiao Yuanxi had heard Xiao Jiu talk about her before, at this time Xiao Yuanxi looked at Xiu'er again, and seeing that Xiu'er had been nodding to her, she walked towards Xia Ruan.
Xia Ruan held Xiao Yuanxi's hand, and when she saw many small scars on her hands, she understood where these scars came from.
Xiao Jiu loves this sister, and he will definitely not let this sister suffer, Xiao Yuanxi will leave scars on his hands, presumably because the embroidery was pricked by needles. Her skin is white and tender, and these scars are left.
"Ai Ye, go and bring the soothing cream from my house." Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Yuanxi's little hand, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. She just found out that although this child was born white and tender, the child's white and tender are different from the white of ordinary people, and the child's white is like a sickly white that rarely comes out and walks around.
Xiu'er was also greatly relieved to see Xia Ruan like this.
She was afraid that Xia Ruan would hate Xiao Yuanxi before.
Xiu'er had a smile on her face and whispered to Xia Ruan: "Madam, Miss Thirteen is afraid of life, so she hasn't been out and around often these days. You're the first person she's seen without fear......"
After saying that, Xiu'er felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly added, "Miss Thirteen likes you very much, and she personally embroidered a lot of sachets, saying that she wanted to send them to you, but she was afraid of disturbing you." ”
"How can it bother." Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Yuanxi, and his voice was soft, "Thank you, Xiaoxi." ”
Xiao Yuanxi hurriedly shook his head, and his originally tense little face looked a little panicked.
She is timid by nature, and she has been relying on Xiao Jiu and Aunt Lin all these years, if it weren't for Xia Ruan's pure and kind face, she wouldn't dare to approach Xia Ruan.
And Xiao Yuanxi remembered the words of the third brother, he said that her third sister-in-law was a good person.
That's why she wanted to meet this third sister-in-law.
It's just that Xiao Yuanxi also hesitated a lot before, would the third sister-in-law like her like a deaf and dumb person?
She was a little scared.
In case the third sister-in-law doesn't like her, will she beat her hard like the eldest brother in the past? Or, like the second brother, let her get out of the Xiao family......
And the words of Chun'er beside her made Xiao Yuanxi even more frightened these days.
After all, Chun'er is the one who has served by her side for many years, and she is as trustworthy as Xiu'er.
Today, Xiu'er told her that the third sister-in-law was walking around here, and she walked out anxiously for a while, wanting to tell the third sister-in-law not to drive her away.
She eats very little, is very well-behaved, and embroiders a lot of things. So, don't let her leave this place...... (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
