Chapter 122: Parting
Jinyu recuperated in Beizhuang for nearly half a month, and finally got better, and was ready to return home, Qingque had already packed up her things, Jinyu was wearing a cloak, sitting in a comfortable carriage, still a little dizzy, but it was already much better than before, at this time, her face looked ruddy, and Lilac had wiped some rouge for Jinyu, which didn't look so haggard in the end.
"I like it here." Jinyu looked at the exquisite villa and said to Lilac on the side, Lilac rolled up her sleeves for Jinyu and said, "Will Miss come to live in the future, although this place is chic, but it is really not as comfortable as home." β
"Also, the house for you is too basic." Lilac blushed a little, and hurriedly said, "No, Sister Qingque also said that she was bitten by mosquitoes." When Jinyu saw the red dots on Qingque's arms, she was a little ashamed, and said, "I made you suffer." β
"What did the young lady say, the slave maid's family was poor when she was a child, not to mention mosquito nets, she didn't have a bed, and she was used to being bitten."
"I can't imagine that the mosquitoes in the north are even more powerful than in the south." Jinyu said casually, looking out the window at the peasants who were working under the scorching sun.
"Why are these people still working in such a hot weather?" Jinyu asked, Lilac looked at the farmers, and said, "I want to water the crops, I heard that the weather is very dry today, only once it rained some time ago, and it has not rained for more than half a month, it was originally the summer rainstorm." β
Jinyu suddenly felt a burst of shock, how could he forget about this matter, there was a great drought in the world, and the capital was already in an arid place, which lasted for a summer of dryness, and as a result, there was no harvest in most places in the autumn.
The land is arid for thousands of miles, and its condition is unbearable.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qingque asked with some concern, Jinyu shook her head and said, "I'm a little thirsty." When Jinyu experienced drought in her previous life, she was already in the nunnery, there was a clear spring in the Xinqi Mountain, and there were sparsely populated here, no one came here, so all the nuns would not all die, but Jinyu still remembered the tragic situation that she did not want to describe.
If it weren't for the old nun who always took her to the mountains in search of food, I am afraid she would have died that winter.
The old nun, Jinyu was suddenly stunned.
"Is the water too cold?" Lilac asked.
"It's okay, choking."
After returning to the mansion, the little guy at the front door said that the old man had gone to the court, and Jinyu returned to his own courtyard by himself, regardless of those gossip, because he did not have a serious hostess, so in the end, those subordinates, there were still some thoughts floating, Jinyu did not care, she knew that she would definitely marry again as a father, and it was already a great infatuation to not marry for seven years, and it was rare in today's world, so Jinyu never thought of letting Zhang Weiwen guard her mother.
Let the one who has not yet passed through the door worry about these things.
Jinyu came to the reception room at home, several stewards were already outside the house, waiting, Jinyu Road in the countryside for half a month, a lot of business things need to be reported, Jinyu sat down, one by one stewards stated below, the youngest of them is Lilac's fiancΓ©, Jinyu said after listening: "The weather has been dry recently, I estimate that the autumn harvest may not be good, buy more grain." β
The stewards are experienced, but they also know that the harvest cannot be judged by the weather of the half-moon alone, but the owner will do what he tells him, so everyone agreed, after saying these words, the stewards also left one by one, Jinyu looked at the lilac who was a little anxious, and said, "You go." β
Lilac saluted, and went away rejoicing.
"Qingque, have you ever lived in the land before?" Qingque, who was standing on the side, replied: "When I was a child, I worked in the fields with my mother, and I still know something. β
"Miss, do you really want to ask this?" Qingque was puzzled, Jinyu smiled and said, "It's just a whim." β
Jinyu looked at the more and more delicate Qingque, and said: "Qingque should also get married, and I will entrust the matchmaker after a few ****." Qingque didn't speak, just stood there, lowered her head, so that Jinyu couldn't see her expression clearly.
"You're not happy?" Jinyu asked, Qingque sighed and said, "The slave will be angry there, I know that the young lady is for my good." Qingque looked at Jinyu, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she said: "It's just that I have been used to seeing how those men treat weak women since I was a child, and my father always beats my mother." β
"I won't force you, if you want, you can stay with me for the rest of your life, and if you meet someone you like, I will give you a marriage."
"Thank you, miss."
"It's time to see the guy too." Jinyu stood up and said, Qingque said with some worry: "Miss, your body is just right, or not." β
"It's fine." Jinyu waved her hand, she walked out the door, looked at the blazing sun outside, and said, "This year seems to be a little hotter than last year." β
"Yes, the slave maid also feels that it is indeed very hot these days, but the ice cubes have been prepared in the house, but the young lady is weak, so she will remove it first, and put it up in a few days." Qingque said.
The master and servant followed the guide to the house where Zhang Jinsu lived temporarily, but there were only some flowers and plants in a very simple courtyard, and the house was simply decorated, presumably Zhang Weiwen wanted her to reflect here.
"Miss? Miss Five is inside. A little girl who looked trembling said, Jinyu said, "Fifth Miss is still okay?" β
Jinyu heard that Zhang Jinsu was sick in that temple, and this little girl looked at Jinyu's somewhat pale face, thinking that compared to the one in the room, this one was more like a sick.
"Miss Five is already well." Jinyu nodded and entered the house, the room was not as shabby as the one outside, and it looked extremely comfortable, Zhang Jinsu was sitting at the desk, reading a book, and didn't seem to notice Jinyu's arrival.
"Zhang Jinsu."
Zhang Jinsu sat up slowly, saw Jinyu, smiled slightly and hurriedly said, "Sister, what's wrong, how does it look like a serious illness." β
"There shouldn't be a sister's illness."
Zhang Jinsu was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "I know that my sister is sad to return you, but I can't say that about my sister." Jinyu sneered and said, "I'm not here to talk to you." β
"Don't think that if your father protects you, you will be safe." Jinyu said, she looked at Zhang Jinsu, and said coldly: "If it weren't for my father's feelings, you would have died a long time ago." β
Zhang Jinsu did not speak, and sat on the chair.
"Well, let's see who of us will die in the end."
