280 Eat and drink
The thunder was rolling, the sky was like the bottom of a pot, and the rain was pouring down. Jiang's mother leaned at the head of the bed, stretched out a hand from the tent, covered with a handkerchief, and the imperial doctor sat outside the tent to check the pulse, and after a long time, he went to the front room to consider the prescription.
I only heard someone outside: "Back to the old lady, Mrs. Lin is here." ”
Mother Jiang hurriedly said, "Please." ”
Qin opened the curtain and walked in, Jiang's mother struggled to sit up from the kang, Qin hurriedly walked a few steps, and said, "Aunt old lady, don't get up, I'm dizzy." Saying that, he had come to the kang ben, took Jiang's mother's hand, sat on the mattress, and exclaimed: "My old lady! I looked good this morning, but after a while, my face was like this. ”
Jiang Muqiang said with a smile: "People are useless when they are old, and they are a little bad in the past few days. ”
Qin Shi turned his head and asked, "Has the doctor seen it?" ”
Jiang Feiyun said: "I've seen it, I said that it was an old disease, and I went to the front to open a prescription." ”
Qin said: "It's a hot and hot day, my aunt and old lady have to take care of her body, what she wants to eat and use, just tell me, so that I can do my filial piety." ”
Jiang Danyun woke up from a nap, saw the Qin family coming, and hurriedly greeted him, and deliberately asked Jiang Xiyun: "I just slept for a while, and when I woke up, I listened to my grandmother's badness, what the hell is going on?" Isn't the fifth sister waiting for her all the time? ”
Jiang Xiyun described her as well-behaved, and her tone was innocent: "The little maid of the eldest brother-in-law came and said that the eldest cousin gave the painting of the concubine in his room to the sons of the house, I heard that the painting was very good, although this matter has nothing to do with us, but I also joined in the fun, I wanted to ask for a painting to see, go out and give a few words, and when I came back, I saw that my grandmother's face was not good." ”
Mother Jiang glared at Jiang Xiyun for a moment, then turned her head to the Qin family and said, "Look at my granddaughter, she is so naughty that she doesn't even make a face for her concubine, wouldn't it be a joke if it is spread out!" ”
Qin's crystal heart and liver, he understood when he arrived, his face was faint, his hands gently pulled his hair in a bun, and lowered his head to adjust the whole dress, feeling annoyed in his heart. said secretly: "The ancestors and grandchildren of the Jiang family are using words to shame me, if you have something to say, you might as well say it on your face, pretend to be stupid, insinuate to me, and everyone else praises the words 'sincere and cute'." Brother Lou is really uneasy, you spoil Chen Xianglan, I don't care if you make trouble behind your back, so when you put it on the bright side, the strange Jiang family can't hang it on their faces. ”
Qin Shisu is an open-minded person and a short-term person, so he smiled slightly: "Aunt and Mrs. are annoyed, speaking of which, our brother Lou is not, we have fallen in love with Xi girl, and both families also have thoughts." Immediately, he smiled: "However, I also moved my mind, and I didn't even have a famous post to hire a matchmaker." The implication is that the Lin family will not tie the knot.
Jiang's mother was taken aback, but she didn't expect that the Qin family would stab the window paper, and instead put her in the army, her face turned blue and purple for a while, and she coughed vigorously, Jiang Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Jiang's mother's chest, Jiang Danyun was shocked, and then gloated.
Jiang Feiyun saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Qin's arm affectionately, and said with a sneer: "What did my cousin say, the wedding event is unusual, and it will break up a good relationship without three or five sentences." He took a cup of tea with his own hands and offered it to him, "My cousin and aunt eat tea." ”
Qin Shi took the tea, gently stirred the tea with the lid, blew the hot air, and took a sip slowly. Jiang Xiyun was kneeling on the foot pedal beside the bed, turning her head slightly, Qin stared at her eyes for a while, Qin has always treated her lovingly and amiably, like a spring breeze, her eyes have never been so cold and sharp, Jiang Xiyun's heart tightened, and she lowered her head again. Jiang's mother hated in her heart, but she couldn't help it, so she only closed her eyes and leaned on the pillow.
The Qin family knew that the Jiang family was softened by her, so he said leisurely: "Speaking of which, this matter is also inappropriate for Brother Lou, but gentlemen, when they were young, they were like gluttonous cats, Chen Xianglan is good in everything, and it is also the character of everyone's ladies, and it is normal for him to think a little more." At Brother Lou'er's age, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, and his children are on the line, and now he has a concubine in his house, not a hundred times stronger than those, and he knows how to be a man, yes or no? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Xiyun's head, and Jiang Xiyun couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The Qin family withdrew his hand again, looked at Jiang's mother and said: "Of course, the Lin family naturally has family rules, if Brother Lou spoils his concubine and kills his wife, he doesn't know the severity, so he still asks the ancestral family to rule him." ”
Jiang Danyun listened to Qin's words and knew that she still intended to let Jiang Xiyun marry in, so she couldn't help but be disappointed, and her face came out.
The room was quiet again, Jiang's mother opened her eyelids, smiled again on her face, softened, and said, "Niece and daughter-in-law, I have a few words I want to say to you, and if I say this, I will be half cured of my illness." Jiang Xiyun took a pillow and put it behind Jiang's mother, and wanted to serve her to eat tea, Jiang's mother waved her hand, ordered everyone to retreat, and said, "Xi girl stays." ”
Jiang Danyun showed indignation, and Jiang Feiyun pulled her out.
Qin's body leaned forward slightly, and said quietly: "Please speak." ”
Jiang's mother let out a long breath, took Jiang Xiyun's hand and patted it, and said to the Qin family: "Niece and daughter-in-law, if there is any offense to what you just said, please don't take it to heart." ”
Qin said: "The old lady is serious. ”
"It's just that Brother Lou is really undignified to that little concubine, I heard that the people in the house called her, and they actually took the word 'aunt' and called 'grandma', he even acquiesced, and then added the word 'big' in front of Ming'er, how can there be a foothold in the main room? I heard that now he still lets his concubine sleep in the main room, this matter is not in accordance with the rules? No matter how big-hearted a woman is, I'm afraid she can't tolerate such a concubine. Jiang Mu and his entourage said, covering their mouths with a handkerchief and coughing softly.
Qin's resolute said: "Aunt old lady, Chen Xianglan and my Lin family are kind, this person can tolerate it, and if it can't be tolerated, if it can't be tolerated, it's okay not to mention the marriage." ”
Mother Jiang was taken aback and looked towards the Qin family, who also half-squinted and looked back. A lightning bolt swept through the air, illuminating the snow in the house, the two of them looked at you back and forth, Jiang's mother finally fell down, her expression was haggard, her eyes were sincere, she looked at the Qin family and said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you also have a daughter, compare your heart to your heart, you should know what our hearts are like." Saying that, he took Jiang Xiyun's little hand and asked her to stand up, "My granddaughter, her appearance, temperament, and character are all first-class, and I sometimes would rather die by myself for fear of wronging her." ”
Jiang Xiyun's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "Grandmother"
These words were sincere, and Jiang's mother's expression was depressed, describing weakness, Qin's heart also softened, sighed and shook Jiang's mother's hand, and said: "Aunt old lady rest assured, we have always known good things, if the two surnames are good, we will not treat Xi girl badly, and the family will never allow Brother Lou to mess around by temperament, these two days will ask Chen Xianglan to move out of the main house, and in the future, everything will be compared with the example of the concubine's room, and it will not exceed the slightest." After a pause, he said, "I have sent a letter to my family and asked the official media to come to the door on a certain day." ”
Mother Jiang heard this, and her heart was satisfied, the concubine could free up her hands to clean up after passing the door, and now it was enough for the Qin family to have such an attitude, and her face also had some brilliance, and she smiled slightly.
Jiang Xiyun stood aside quietly, is this a concession from the Lin family? Why is her heart still clogged? The Lin family pinched the weakness of her family's rush to marry a daughter, and forced her to let Chen Xianglan down, that beautiful and gentle and talented concubine, Lin Jinlou looked at that woman with full eyes and eyes.
She felt weak and powerless for the first time, Lin Jinlou was extremely difficult to control, Chen Xianglan was not inferior to her except for a background, she also held the dream of a talented and beautiful mandarin duck all her life, looking forward to asking for a lover, heart to heart, husband and wife and Le Jiang Xiyun's chest was so hot that the whole person seemed to be stuck in the quagmire, after the Qin family left, she sat beside Jiang's mother and shed tears in a daze.
Speaking of Xianglan, when she returned to Changchun Hall, she returned to the room alone and shed a tear first. At that moment, Lin Dongxiu came with the maids, and saw the maids standing at the door of the bedroom, looking in, because he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xue Ning hesitated: "Grandma came back crying, she was in the house by herself, and she didn't let people in." ”
The fan said, "I haven't eaten lunch yet." ”
As they were talking, Lingqing and Lingsu came with a kang table with a few dishes on it. Lingqing said: "It's been hot twice, but I don't want to eat." ”
Lin Dongxiu said: "That's it, put the kang table in, I'll use some with Xianglan." He said that he went into the house first.
Xianglan's eyes were swollen into walnuts, and the tip of her nose was also red, seeing Lin Dongxiu coming in, she hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a dumb voice: "Why is the fourth girl here?" ”
Lin Dongxiu was startled and said, "Ouch, why are you crying like this?" Who is so bold to give you anger? He leaned over again and asked, "Big brother bullied you?" ”
Xianglan smiled reluctantly, and only Zhang Luo Erling put the kang table on the big kang in the blue gauze cupboard.
Lin Dong embroidered the maid and said, "Rose, go back to me and bring the two jars of good wine." He pulled Xianglan to sit on the kang and said, "A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, the two of us haven't drunk well." ”
It turned out that Lin Dongxiu was also holding her breath, and just went back, Aunt Xia reprimanded her for behaving in the poetry club "against the etiquette of the lady", "fighting for leisure, fighting for words, by no means a chaste and quiet nobleman, and a shrew in the market", Lin Dongxiu felt uncomfortable, and couldn't find a word to refute it, so she had to hang her head and listen to the training for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel tight in her chest and short of breath, so she ran out to be bored, and traveled all the way to Xianglan, wanting to spit out bitter water on Xianglan.
Xianglan was preoccupied and sat sullenly at the kang table. Lin Dongxiu was not polite, looked at the dishes on the table, ordered a few more of his favorite foods, and ordered the small kitchen of Changchun Hall to do it, and said: "I have long heard that the chef here has craftsmanship from the eldest brother, and I haven't tasted it much." At that moment, Rose and the others took the wine, sifted a pot hotly, and poured the wine on the side with a fan, Lin Dongxiu raised the wine cup and said, "I toast you." ”
Xianglan raised her glass and touched it, and drank it all with her neck up. The wine was by no means fruit wine, rice wine and other soft things, it was spicy, spicy and cold, and Xianglan only felt that the hot and spicy ball burned down her throat to her heart, extremely sad, but there was an indescribable joy. Lin Dongxiu stuck out his tongue and said, "My mother, how can anyone treat such unpleasant wine as a good thing." Seeing that Xianglan filled herself with another glass, she hurriedly stopped and said, "It's useless, you will get drunk later, and my eldest brother can't spare me." ”
Xianglan pushed her hand away and said, "Aren't we just going to have a good time today?" The four girls all brought wine, so why bother with their mothers-in-law. After that, he poured Lin Dong embroidery with his own hands, and the maids were all withdrawn.
Lin Dongxiu sighed and said, "That's fine." Raised the cup and touched Xianglan, frowned and drank, only to feel that his heart was beating suddenly, his face was already red, he took a chopstick dish, and suddenly laughed, and said: "This was three years ago, who would have thought that I would toast you?" At the beginning, you were just a cowardly little girl, Cao Lihuan stretched out her hand to slap you in the face, scolded at every turn, called back and forth, and now you are covered in silk and satin, wearing gold and silver to make friends with the masters, she has long been unaware of where she has fallen into a wild ghost, but it is a pity, you say this creation......
"Silk and satin, is it a good day to wear gold and silver? Fourth girl, I've always been like a mirror in my heart, and now I'm all on the skin, what to do with the master, in fact, I'm still a thing slave, I'm down, maybe it's not as good as that wild ghost. ”
"Tsk, you don't hurt people at all, others praise you, you are all about to do it, live today and think about tomorrow, think like this, in a few decades, you and I will be a pinch of loess, tired and panicked."
"Whether you want to or not, things are like that, and it's not like living blindfolded and blind, you can avoid it, I'm afraid that if you are greedy for the joy in front of you, the end of the future will be even more unbearable...... Okay, I won't talk about it, let's have a drink. ”
The two ate some food and touched another glass.
Lin Dongxiu's wine surged, and the words became more and more: "Originally, I didn't look down on you, but I was just a girl, my neck was harder than anyone else, I looked tame, I looked high-minded in my bones, and I was faceless several times, and I hated it so much that it hurt my teeth." In the past two years, you have been much softer than before, and if you go down carefully, I feel that you are a good person, not the one who holds a smiling face and hides traitors behind his back. ”
Xianglan hooked the corners of her mouth, raised the wine glass and said, "If you have offended before, you will give this glass of wine to the four girls to make amends." ”
Lin Dongxiu took a sip of wine, and said, "I know why you are not happy in your heart, isn't it because of the Jiang family?" If you want to open it, the eldest brother will marry sooner or later, Jiang Xiyun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but the wife and eldest brother will still maintain you in the end. In the future, when you were wronged, you came to me to make it, and you saved my life and treated me well, I know it in my heart. ”
Lin Dongxiu's kung fu as he spoke, Xianglan had poured several cups, and said to Lin Dongxiu with drunken eyes: "In the future, the four girls will be Mrs. Yongchang Hou, and the four girls will be benevolent, but Yongchang Hou is older, has a group of wives and concubines, and has the eldest son, the four girls really don't mind?" If you look for a scholar of the same age......"
Lin Dongxiu sneered: "I don't believe in those ethereal things, if this family business is perfect, how can it be my turn?" What I want is to be prosperous and rich and stable, but I don't feel how wronged I am. ”
Xianglan nodded her heavy head hard, stroked her palms and exclaimed: "Fourth girl, I really admire you when you say this......
Lin Dongxiu saw that Xianglan's face was red and her tongue was short, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't drink it anymore, let the maid bring a bowl of sobering soup, I really can't explain it to my eldest brother when I turn around." ”
Xianglan snatched the wine glass back and giggled, "What to explain to him?" I've lived so carefully that it's easy to be happy, and who do I have to confess to! A line of laughter, tears fell, and choked up, "My silly sister who has a hard life...... greedy for the joy in front of you, look at what the end is, and now where have you fallen into a wild ghost...... Woowoo woo ......"
Lin Dongxiu frowned and said, "What? Younger sister? Where's my sister? Staggered to the ground, went to push Xianglan and said, "No, you're really drunk." "Hurriedly ordered the maid to withdraw the wine and bring the decanting soup again.
At this time, Lin Jinlou came back from the front of the guests, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xianglan holding the wine jug and still drinking, Lin Dongxiu and the maids were coaxing on the side, Lin Jinlou turned black when he landed, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
The maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, Lin Dongxiu said: "I ate some wine with Xianglan, I didn't think she was too drunk to drink......
Lin Jinlou stepped forward and pulled up Xianglan, looked at her blushing face and the smell of wine all over her body, and frowned: "What about the sobering soup?" ”
Xianglan looked at Lin Jinlou with drunken eyes, suddenly struggled with kicks and beatings, and shouted: "I don't want to see you, get out of the way!" ”
Lin Jinlou was furious, shook Xianglan twice, shook the hairpin ring on his head and fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Look clearly, who are you talking to!" You will die for me!" ”
Lin Dongxiu couldn't help but shrink, and whispered: "Brother, you have a little light hand......"
Lin Jinlou glared at Lin Dongxiu hatefully, stretched out his hand and pointed at her, and then took the decanting soup in the maid's hand and poured it down for Xianglan, Xianglan struggled desperately and refused to drink, but the decanting soup was spilled most of it, and she coughed desperately.
Lin Jinlou was so angry that he let go of Xianglan and put it on the kang, and said hatefully: "You will die!" You will die! Later, my wife will let you go and see what you do! You're out of luck, huh? The head of the front just made a face for you, and you will come to this hand in the back, you are worthy of the master! ”
Lin Dongxiu hurriedly went over to pat Xianglan on the back, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and said, "Big brother, she is drunk, and it is inevitable that she will talk faintly......
Lin Jinlou glared at her and said, "What are you still grinding here?" The rain is also light, why not roll quickly? ”
Lin Dongxiu didn't dare to provoke this overlord, and said with a smile on his face: "Then I will leave." Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and said, "Brother, you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade......" Seeing Lin Jinlou glaring at her again, he hurriedly turned back.
Lin Jinlou looked at Xianglan crooked on the kang and uncomfortable, crying and laughing for a while, asking for wine for a while, and vomiting blood in annoyance, Lin Jinlou was so annoyed that his hands trembled, got up and went back to the bedroom fiercely, and slammed the door with a bang. The maids bit their fingers and tongues, and they didn't dare to come out, they only served Xianglan silently, and suddenly heard the door "snap" open again, Lin Jinlou had changed his clothes and walked out, picked up Xianglan with a cold face, and put her on the bedroom bed. Seeing that the painting fan brought a towel over, took it down, wiped Xianglan's face, brought the decanting soup again, and pinched Xianglan's mouth and poured it for her. Xianglan was uncomfortable, and finally spit it out, but fortunately, Lingqing was waiting with a spittoon on her side.
