Chen's mother is not in good health and has long been unable to take care of the housework, although there is no one in the family now, everything is simple, but there are still many trivial household chores that need to be taken care of. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is said that she was sold to the Chen family as a maid by her parents when she was young because of her poverty, and later the old housekeeper wanted to leave the house, Chen's father was worried that he was old and no one to take care of him, so he chose two girls to follow him to Yixian, Ruyi is one of them.

The other was that when she reached the marriageable age, the old housekeeper couldn't bear to delay, so he returned her deed and let her find her own way out. Therefore, before Qingjia married in, Ruyi had always been by Chen's mother's side, and it is said that Ruyi still treated Chen's mother as respectful as in Chen's mansion, and was very liked by Chen's mother.

In contrast, although Qingjia serves Chen's mother very carefully, he must bow down to everything every day, send medicine, and feed him, without pretending to be the hands of others. But Chen's mother doesn't like her very much, seems to be prejudiced, every time she has something to say, Qingjia has a good temper but is not annoyed, she is still careful and trying, not perfunctory.

On this day, Qingjia delivered medicine, and Chen's mother said to Ruyi when she saw her coming: "You go to the young master's study to serve the pen and ink." ”

Qingjia stepped forward and carefully helped Chen's mother up, picked up the medicine bowl, blew it gently, tried the temperature first, and then fed it to Chen's mother's mouth after thinking that it could be eaten, Chen's mother frowned after taking a sip: "Didn't you let you sift the medicinal juice with gauze and bring it over?" How can I swallow so much dregs in it! ”

Qingjia was stunned for a moment and explained: "Mother, I have indeed used gauze to finely drain out the medicine residue......"

Mother Chen glared at her sternly and said, "Could it be that I wronged you?" With that, he raised his hand and knocked over the medicine bowl that Qing Jia was holding, and the medicine juice splashed Qing Jia's body, and his clothes were instantly dirty.

Qingjia was a little frightened and didn't dare to speak, but Chen's mother still refused to give up, and her words became more and more mean and sharp: "Your Lu family is really well-educated, and the daughter you have taught dares to talk back to your elders, why, didn't your parents teach you not to disobey your in-laws after you get married!?" Or is your Lu family powerful, and your daughter is also arrogant, so you can't touch it? ”

Mother Chen said such a long time, her breath was a little unsteady, and she coughed, Qingjia didn't even have time to be wronged and hurriedly stroked her back, but Mother Chen blocked her away and didn't appreciate it.

Qingjia couldn't, so she could only admit her mistake and said, "Mother, don't be angry, I'll go and boil a bowl again, you can rest for a while, don't be angry for me." ”

Chen's mother didn't even look at her, Qingjia hurriedly packed up her things and went out to boil medicine, and she didn't have time to change the clothes on her body, so she stayed by the bedside for a while after serving Chen's mother again after using the medicine, and waited until Chen's mother was very tired and fell asleep before returning to the room to change her clothes.

Although he was extremely tired, he still endured his exhaustion and held the changed clothes to be washed, and when he passed by the study, he heard a slight conversation from inside.

Qingjia was curious, the window was open, and she didn't need a probe to see the scene inside. I saw Chen Wei writing in front of the desk, and Ruyi was beside him while grinding and said with a smile: "The red plum painted by the young master is really expressive, as if it is about to stick out of the painting." ”

Chen Wei lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the paper, and she just smiled faintly when she heard her praise like this, but she dipped the pen in cinnabar and continued to color, looking very serious.

Ruyi sticks closer, tilts his head and looks closer, as if there is nothing more attractive in the world than this painting.

At the end, she smiled as if it were true and fake: "When will the young master be able to paint a picture for Ruyi, then Ruyi will really have no regrets in this life." ”

Qingjia chuckled in his heart, and then looked at the shy expression on Ruyi's face, and the clothes in his hand fell to the ground.

At that moment, even if it was chaotic, it was still a little less messy and complicated.

Women have an extremely sensitive intuition about feelings, even if they are not smart, Qingjia knows the meaning of that smile and eyes.

It was supposed to be silent, but in the moment when she lost her mind, Chen Wei saw her in the room, smiled and beckoned her to come in.

Qingjia picked up her clothes, pushed the door in, and she bit her lip as she came in, and then smiled stiffly and made a half-salute.

Seeing her in a trance, Chen Wei said with concern: "What's wrong?" Seeing her holding a pile of clothes, she suddenly said, "Tired?" ”

Qingjia shook her head, Chen Wei pulled her to his lap and sat down and said to Ruyi, "You go to your mother's place to serve, there's nothing wrong here." ”

Ruyi blessed his body and replied, "Yes." ”

Qingjia didn't notice when Ruyi left, she looked at the lifelike stone red plum on the paper.

Chen Wei hugged her and asked, "Is your mother embarrassed you again?" ”

Qingjia shook her head: "No, it's because I didn't do a good job to make my mother unhappy." ”

"Your temperament couldn't be more serious," Chen Wei didn't want to paint anymore, put aside the pen and ink, and said: "I'll take you out for a walk, don't you like to eat the rose cake of Dongqiao Street?" ”

Knowing that he was worried about herself, Qingjia's heart warmed, and her mood improved a little, and she smiled: "I don't want to eat rose cakes," she picked up his unfinished painting, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "You can give me this painting." ”

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? After a pause, he said, "It's just that this painting is not good, so can I paint another one for you?" ”

Qingjia was not happy: "I just want this." ”

Chen Wei couldn't take her, so he had to agree: "Okay, according to you." ”

The two were playing in the study, but Chen Wei had no intention of painting.

When she returned to the room in the evening, Qingjia saw that the painting he had made in the morning was hanging in front of her dresser, and it looked like her eyes were fuller and more detailed than when she saw it in the morning, and even the petals were distinct.

Qingjia couldn't put it down, Chen Wei was originally leaning on the bed reading a book, and seeing her motionless and looking at it also gave birth to a little warmth.

got out of bed, spread her hair for her, and laughed: "Look at what good things are so engrossed, you don't have this kind of seriousness when you look at me." ”

Qing Jia was embarrassed, glared at him, didn't want him to be too proud, and said insincerely: "This plum blossom is very good in color, and you are not as good as it, what is there to see." ”

Chen Wei knew that she was duplicitous, but he didn't break it, but he was also happy to see her so happy.

Qingjia is not as delicate as Lu Qingyu, she has never read a book, and she doesn't recognize a few words, these days she knows that Chen Wei is talented, poetry, calligraphy, painting and music, proficient in everything, and she admires and admires it very much.

"You really haven't studied at all?"

Chen Wei knew that she was not valued in the Lu family, but how could she say that she was also from a scholarly family......

I couldn't help but feel more pity for her in my heart.

Qingjia stiffened: "Even though no one taught me, I also know some allusions." ”

Lu Yi not only loves and attaches importance to Lu Qingyuan, but also does the teaching herself, a few times when she went to ask for peace, she heard Lu Yi teach Lu Qingyuan to learn idioms, and she was also curious in her heart, so she was extra attentive, and she remembered it more firmly than Lu Qingyuan.

Chen Wei scratched her nose and laughed: "Arrogant? ”

"Oops!" Qing Jia was annoyed and angry: "Don't say that anymore!" ”

"Okay, well, don't talk about it," he said, holding her fist, resting his chin on her shoulder, leaning his head against her, "If you want to learn to read, I can teach you." “

Qingjia turned his face, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he rubbed her head with a smile.

……

"Look, that's your name, let's start here......"

"Ha, don't be discouraged, this may be too complicated for you, let's change it."

"Well, I think the T-script might be more suitable for you to practice......"

"Well, let's learn how to hold a pen again."

……

The days passed like this, in a blink of an eye it was the middle of summer, there was a tall banyan tree in the yard, the crown was huge, the pavilion was like a cover, although the sun was scorching, the heat was unbearable, but the tree was shaded by green, it was very cool.

There is a stone table and stone bench under the tree, it is very comfortable to sit on it, and it is very hot in the study.

Qingjia is very hard and serious, as long as she has time, she will practice diligently, and occasionally Chen Wei will take the notebook he wrote when she is not there, copy it carefully, and gradually get some fun, and make rapid progress.

Chen's mother still doesn't like her, but after all, her body is not good and she is in the room all day, and she can't find anything wrong with Qingjia after she gets started with family affairs.

It's just that recently, Chen Wei is often away from home, going out early but coming back very late, and his spirit is getting more and more tired day by day.

Qingjia was worried, but he always said that it was okay for her not to think about it.

At this time, four months had passed since they were married.

That day, Chen's mother said that her heart was distressed, and Qingjia hurriedly went to invite a doctor, who wrote down the prescription and told Qingjia to go and grab the medicine.

Mother Chen was thoughtful on the side, so she stopped her and said to the doctor: "Doctor Wan, please help my daughter-in-law take the pulse." ”

Qingjia was stunned and shook her head again and again: "Mother, I'm not sick, don't ......"

Mother Chen swept over with a sharp eye knife, Qing Jia was silent, and could only stretch out her hand obediently.

After the doctor finished taking the pulse, Chen's mother urged her to grab the medicine, and when she came back, Chen's mother handed her another prescription and said, "You go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine according to this prescription, and paste it once a day." ”

Qingjia didn't know why, but Chen's mother always didn't like her to ask more, so she could only answer obediently.

The next day, Qingjia took two bowls of medicine to feed Chen's mother, and after one bowl was finished, she picked up the other, Chen's mother patted the edge of the bed and said angrily: "What are you giving me to drink, this is for you!" ”

Qingjia was stunned: "Mine? ”

Mother Chen looked at her, her expression was secretive, Qingjia remembered that the doctor had given her pulse the day before, and she was going to drink medicine today, just thinking that she was sick and panicked.

"What are you doing! Drink it quickly, not a drop will be left! ”

Although Qingjia is thin and weak, but he has never had any serious illness since he was a child, he rarely takes medicine, this Chinese medicine is bitter and astringent, and the taste is not good, he used to be very scared when he saw Chen's mother drink medicine, but now he wants to drink medicine, and he doesn't know what disease he is harming, he frowned and took a sip, it was really uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to vomit it out, but Chen's mother stared at her deadly, and could only swallow slowly with tears.

Mother Chen didn't ease her expression until she saw the bottom of the medicine bowl, and said, "You will have to drink this medicine every day in the future," paused for a moment, and then said: "Drink it in front of me, so you don't have to play any tricks." ”

Qingjia was frightened, such a bad medicine will have to be drunk every day in the future?

But Chen's mother's tone was unquestionable, so even if she was unwilling, she could only respond temporarily.

After starting to drink the medicine, Qingjia almost wanted to gause, and the weather was still a little hot, and his appetite deteriorated, and within a few days, the whole person became a lot haggard.

Chen Wei has been very busy recently, often not seeing people, and unexpectedly came back early that day, Qingjia was reading some simple scripts in the room, comic books in general, Qingjia was fascinated.

"What are you looking at?"

The body was hugged by him, Qingjia was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard his tone suddenly lower: "Why haven't you looked carefully for a few days, and you are so haggard?" ”

Qingjia's prevarication several times was ineffective, so he could only explain honestly.

Chen Wei listened, and only said: "You go to sleep first, I'll go talk to my mother, and you won't drink that medicine in the future." ”

Qingjia hurriedly grabbed him and stopped: "Mother will never hurt me, she has not been in good health in the past few days, you don't want to make her angry." ”

"You don't have to worry, I'm measured."
