After the rain and snow, the dawn gradually faded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In front of the sun shining on the eaves, the severe frost is eliminated, the jade tree is graceful, and the Qiongzhi is in the orchid garden.
In the early morning of midwinter, it is difficult to bend and stretch. The bedroom of Langxian Yuan was already lit by candles, and Mama Ji led Lantian and Yu Nuan to the two maids outside the screen, and the inner room was arguing.
Ji leaned against the head of the bed with his hair scattered, his face full of unease; The second old man got up, changed his clothes and tied his belt, and didn't look at his wife's angry face, he had always been polite and lost his former composure.
After finishing the clothes, he called someone to send hot water in, and went to the clean room without looking back.
Mama Ji hurriedly took this opportunity to persuade: "Madam, you just came back, why are you arguing with your uncle again?" Now that the two of you live together, if you want to make some discord between your husband and wife, isn't it a joke for others to see? ”
There are no secrets in this mansion.
"Do you think I'm willing to quarrel with him?"
Ji's chest was unsettled, and his tone was indignant: "Others persuaded me to endure it, Guanguan is his daughter." It's good for him to be a father, so she is bullied.
Was it our fault that the young master of the Fu family happened yesterday? If it weren't for his instigation, would Wanguan suddenly be able to serve tea? Something happened to our own children, but it depends on us! ”
The more she spoke, the louder her voice became, and Mama Ji wanted to remind her that it was too late to stop her.
The second master came out of the clean room, blushed angrily and said: "You are embarrassed to mention yesterday's incident, everyone understands that Sister Guan'er's matter has nothing to do with Brother Jun'er, Mrs. Fu came to this weather, isn't it just to give you an explanation?" You still have to hold on to it!
Sister Guan has made mistakes, where do you say you have the confidence to argue with others? The Fu family is Sister Hui's husband's family, and it has not been easy for the sister-in-law to bring three children in recent years, you still have to embarrass her, why don't you have the slightest understanding of people's temperament? ”
The second master is a scholar, and he rarely even has a heavy sentence on weekdays, and only in the matter of his children will he mix a few words because of differences with his wife.
"Aren't I just asking for the truth, is that still wrong?"
Ji's eyes were red, and he gasped, and his voice was a little lighter: "That's the bow and arrow on the hunting ground, fighting those leopards and beasts, as long as I think of such a dangerous thing almost falling on my daughter, I can't sleep at night."
I'll just find out whose child it is, is it too much to find out? Guanguan was conceived and born in October, you don't feel distressed, I can't bear it. ”
Ji was really frightened that day, especially when he saw that his daughter, who was originally alive and kicking, could only be confined in the room for a few days, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Hearing this, the second master's heart softened, and his momentum was a little shorter, he stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed with his robe, and said warmly: "When will I be willing to let Sister Guan suffer?" It's just that her breaking into the paddock forest is not a bright thing after all, and it is not appropriate to be too quiet. Even if you don't think about your sister-in-law and Sister Hui, you have to think about our daughter's reputation, don't you? ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and comforted him softly, "My husband knows that you feel sorry for your children, and I feel sorry for me, she is your heart's meat, is it that your husband is naturally hard-hearted?" ”
Seeing this, Mama Ji withdrew with a smile.
Over the years, the two of them have always been like this, making a lot of trouble, and the good ones are fast.
Ji Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, still a little annoyed, "The Fu family must know who shot the arrow, I asked the young master of the Fu family in the Wanguan house yesterday, he went to see his mother, and he must have been explained before he said it." ”
"You are such an anxious person, the Fu family must have a reason not to say it, they took the blame, which shows that we know the truth is harmful. The two families are Qin Jin, and Mrs. Fu will not come to harm us.
Whoever is standing next to Brother Jun, even if you know it, you can't be sure that person did it. What's more, accidents are inevitable on the hunting ground, Sister Guan suddenly appeared, and most of the other party is also unintentional, do you have to ignore people? Yesterday, my sister-in-law and Sister Hui were here, you always have to take care of the Fu family's face, don't you? ”
The second master knew that his wife was not an unreasonable person, and he could still listen to her if he told her well, and when he saw that his face was loose, he added: "Besides, I am staying in Beijing now, and you will have to move around with various prefectures in the future, and it is better to have more good relationships than to offend people, isn't it?" ”
Ji is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, her husband said so much in a good voice, she listened to it softly, and her heart was soft, and she would not continue to be stubborn.
Seeing his wife's head, the second master asked her to lie down again, and he got up, "I'll go to the study outside to read the book first, and when the fourth brother comes back, there is something to do, you and the children eat first at night, you don't have to wait for me." ”
Ji reached out and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "I went to Lord Cui's house yesterday, what did Master Shangshu say?" ”
"I accepted the New Year's gift, and I didn't show anything in my words, but I think that this errand is probably what the fourth brother said in front of Master Cui."
Those who heard it were suspicious, "He hasn't been a servant of the Ministry for a day or two, why did he suddenly think of your brother." ”
"Woman's suspicions, my own brother, why is he helping me to make a fuss?"
The second old man dusted off his robe, and in a natural tone, he explained again: "These are all people from your own house, you let Sister Guan take care of her temperament, you can't be as willful as in the past." ”
"The concubine knows, Guanguan is such a sensible child, don't worry about it."
"Sensible?" The second master muttered disapprovingly, shook his head and went out.
Ji squinted and lay down for a while, and after waking up, he went to the east room and asked his subordinates to bring breakfast here.
and ordered Qin Niang to bring Brother Xu'er.
Yan Xu is Yan Guan's younger brother, two years younger than her, although the sister and brother are siblings, their personalities are very different.
Yan Guan is active, likes to go out riding and shooting with his uncle, and he can't bear to read books and practice calligraphy.
Or seeing that she was cultivated by Ji Renguang with such virtue, the second master took very strict care of his only beloved son.
Yan Xu was personally enlightened and taught by his father since he was a child, and he was very fond of talking about the etiquette rules of literati and scholars with his manners, and he always looked like a little adult on weekdays.
Ji thinks that his son has lost his child's innocence, he is not more lively and cute than his daughter, and he is always partial to Yan Guan on weekdays.
In the past, in Zunyi Mansion, Yan Guan had no fear, so he loved to tease him.
Yan Xu followed the nurse Qin Niang into the house, and the little person stood in the middle, saluted his mother, and called his sister.
Yan Wan saw that he was obviously childish, and he was pretending to be serious, so he smiled and said, "Our little master is here, Brother Xu, come here, and my sister will feed you porridge." ”
She smiled and beckoned to her younger brother.
Yan Xu was still a child, he was happy and angry, frowned when he heard the words, and said in a long tone: "Sister, I am no longer a baby child, and I can take care of my own food and clothing." "Don't serve the girl, sit down by yourself.
Yan Wan listened even more happily, and deliberately teased him: "Brother Xu, how old are you, I not only fed you porridge the year before last, but also peed on me when I hugged you." ”
Yan Wan herself was only six years old the year before last, and the family naturally wouldn't let her hug her younger brother, but just used this to make fun of Brother Xu's bedwetting.
Yan Xu's face turned red, and he hoped to see his mother, but who knew that the latter also looked lively.
He didn't understand what was ridiculous, so he shook his head helplessly, muttering with a mouth: "No wonder the sage said, 'Only villains and women are difficult to raise'." ”
"Haha," Yan Wan covered his lips and laughed, "That's what Daddy taught you, Brother Xu?" This knowledge has not been done for long, but the words of the ancient sage Yun have to say two sentences back, are you afraid that your mother will ask you if you can't do your homework? ”
"Sister!" Yan Xu was embarrassed.
Yan Guan really felt that his appearance was interesting, where was he willing to restrain himself, and said with great interest: "Your appearance of being an adult is similar to that of the young master of the Fu family yesterday."
If you are a few years older, you will definitely be able to play with him, but Brother Xu, you still have a little bit of literature and ink in your belly, but he doesn't know if he is strong outside. ”
Ji's likes a lively family, and he doesn't care about his son's annoyance. Yuan smiled heartily, and when she heard her daughter mention Fu Mingjun, she couldn't help but ask her: "Why did Sister Guan suddenly mention the young master of the Fu family?" Did he bully you yesterday? ”
"How can he bully me? People are interesting, but they are weaker, and they say that I have to beg for tea. ”
Thinking of the scene yesterday afternoon, Yan Wan raised his lips and smiled even more: "It seems that there is no good tea in our house, but he got drunk after eating tea, and my daughter is really the first time I have seen such a person." ”
Yan Guan is carefree by nature, and he usually always remembers many happy scenes, Fu Mingjun was drunk yesterday and forgot all about everyone's affairs.
Yan Xu saw that she had diverted her attention, and silently and quickly finished her breakfast.
After the meal, Yan Xu was about to slip away, and Ji Shi saw him and hugged him on the kang, "Your sister's feet are inconvenient, you should accompany her here to relieve her boredom, always hide back in the house to do something, you are not a big girl." ”
Xiangxiang helped Yan Wan to follow the kang, looking at the reluctant younger brother on the opposite side of the kang, the meaning of teasing was even more obvious, but he didn't laugh as if he was considerate, and this smiling appearance made Yan Xu angry.
Ji knew that his daughter was squeamish and was most afraid of taking medicine, so he stared at it personally.
Yan Wan rolled his eyes, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, and he had an idea in a moment, "Mother, this medicine is too hot, my daughter will drink it later, you should be busy in advance." ”
"Mother is fine, I'll go back when you run out of medicine." The latter's tone was firm and full of understanding.
Yan Wan shrunk her shoulders and blew on the porcelain bowl of carp playing lotus, the smell of medicine rushed to her nose, she frowned, looked up and saw that her younger brother was staring at herself with blazing eyes, as if snickering and snickering, she sighed and sighed Feng Shui took turns, closed her eyes and tilted her head and poured the medicine down ruthlessly.
She put down the bowl with a "snap", and hurriedly took the candied fruit that had been prepared early and handed it over.
The candied fruit wrapped in frosted sugar can't relieve the astringency of the medicine.
Who knows, Yan Xu, who was sitting quietly opposite, handed the medicine bowl over again, with a concerned face: "Sister, the medicine has to be drunk to be effective." ”
Yan Wan glared at him silently.
Seeing that their sister and brother were at a stalemate, the Ji family was about to speak, so Lantian opened the curtain and came in, and said, "Mrs., the fourth wife is here." ”
