I must be starting to get suspicious.
If this suspicion is confirmed, Jin Yuming is afraid that it will not be as simple as being smashed in the head......
When Xie Shi took a nap today, it was only half an hour, and he had a long nightmare, and when he woke up, his forehead was full of cold sweat.
Lying on the left and right beside her, she stayed here today and had lunch, and she refused to leave, and took a nap with her daughter.
Although the two little girls are from the scholar family, they are still young after all, and they are sleeping soundly at this time, so there is no trace of sorrow between their eyebrows, clean and bright.
Xie Shi stretched out his hands and gently stroked his little daughter's fleshy cheeks, and an indescribable complication appeared in his eyes.
Recently, Jin Yuming doesn't know what he's busy with, he doesn't see anyone during the day, and he mostly rests in the concubine's room at night, and almost doesn't come to her anymore.
It is completely different from the appearance of having no opinions in the past, but whenever there is a slightest trouble, I will come to her and ask her to help solve it.
Xie Shi could vaguely feel that he no longer bothered to hide anything.
Will this be a good thing for her and her children?
It would be fine if she was as mediocre and ignorant as his concubines, but she was different from them in every way...... Moreover, she still harbors such a terrifying secret.
The sweaty sideburns were slowly pinned behind the ears, and the color of Xie's eyes was uncertain.
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
The personal maid who walked in with a light step saw Xie sitting on the head of the bed and said softly.
Xie Shi looked at her: "What's wrong?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's my cousin again. The maid smiled helplessly. For fear of waking up the two girls, the voice was very soft.
But for Xie Jiarou, a cousin who has come to see Xie almost every day in recent days, she really feels a headache for her wife.
Others may not know, but as the most trusted person of the Xie family, she knows the purpose of Xie Jiarou coming to the Xie family every day.
I actually wanted to leave the Jin family...... Such a thing, so reasonable, Madame would never agree to her.
To his great surprise, Xie Shi, who got up and cleaned up, did not wait for Xie Jiarou to say more when he saw Xie Jiarou outside. That is, he said, "Needless to say. Now that you have made up your mind, your aunt will no longer force you to keep you. On the side of the Duke of Jin and the prince, I have my own to convince you. But it will take some time to send a message back to Xie's house and ask someone to come and pick you up. You'll have to be patient. β
Xie Jiarou was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got up and saluted Xie. With a grateful face, he said, "Aunt Xie has made it a successβ"
"If you don't blame your aunt, it's good ......"
Xie Shi looked at her. Sighed softly.
It may be a good thing to be able to leave.
Xie Jiarou accompanied Xie Shi to talk for a while, as if she sensed that she had something on her mind. So he didn't stay long, and left under the pretext that he needed to go back to prepare for a thing or two.
On the way back to Yilan Pavilion, Thrush couldn't help but smile and asked: "The girl just came out of the second lady's room, and she is in a very good mood, but I don't know what interesting things I talked about with the second lady?" β
Xie Jia Rouguan doesn't like to laugh, and she used to be a well-known ice beauty, but because of this, once she is rarely happy, her mood swings will be very obvious.
Just like now, although he is not smiling, he can't hide the joy between his eyebrows.
She heard Thrush's question, and said, "I was about to tell you about this - my aunt has already agreed to my request to leave the Jin family." β
It's finally time to get out of this cage.
But what she didn't see was that the smile on the face of the thrush walking behind her suddenly froze when he heard her words.
"Is the girl really leaving?"
"Well, I've already made up my mind with my aunt. After the letter is delivered, the people of the Xie family will come to Beijing, presumably it will be a matter of two or three months at most. β
"Second lady, did she really agree to the girl?" How is this possible?
Naturally, I agreed. By the way, what did you think about what I told you earlier? β
"Slave and slave have not yet thought about it...... Ask the girl to give the slave some more time. β
β¦β¦
Elm Alley, Zhou House.
After waking up from a nap, Jiang Ying asked Yunli to bring some pastries and snacks to Song Chunyue's house.
This house is not very large, just an ordinary house, but the advantage is that the location is good, and it is the sunniest among the surrounding houses. Therefore, although it is close to the riverbank, the courtyard is not damp.
It was now afternoon, Song Chunyue spread out a felt blanket in front of the small flower garden in the courtyard, and put a mat underneath, and sat on it with Jiang Ying holding Afu, chatting about family life while eating, and enjoying this little leisure.
Jiang Ying has always been idle, but Song Chunyue, who has become a family and has children, has been busy entertaining relatives from Suzhou recently, so she is relatively busy, and she has not sat down to talk to Jiang Ying for some time.
"Originally, I was going to go out of the city to incense today, but Afu, the child, started crying early in the morning, and there was really no way, so Jingping took them there, and the group had to stay in the temple at noon to eat, so I rarely stole half a day's leisure." Song Chunyue said with a smile while wiping the saliva from the corners of her mouth for Afu with a handkerchief.
Jiang Ying saw that she seemed to have lost some weight recently, and she had a faint look of being thin before she got married, thinking that she had worked hard, so she asked, "Why are you relatives in the house still haven't finished the matter?" β
At that time, I remember that Song Chunyue said that she would only stay for a few days and leave after the matter was done, but now, there are more than ten days, right?
"What kind of business...... Song Chunyue shook her head, and said helplessly: "At first, the letter said that they were coming to do something, but the family of three lived in our house for two or three days, and they only walked around Beijing, and they never mentioned what they wanted to do." In the end, Jing Ping asked the distant aunt and uncle who were three thousand miles away, and they finally told the real reasonββ"
Jiang Ying was puzzled when she heard it, but Afu suddenly spit out milk, Song Chunyue took a handkerchief to wipe it, and Jiang Ying was also busy patting the child gently.
"I think I've been fed too much...... Song Chunyue joked: "You also know that I have always been a horse and careless." My mother-in-law went early again, this method of raising a child can be regarded as a way to learn and sell after giving birth to Afu, this child is in my hands, but there is no less sin. β
Jiang Ying laughed at her for talking nonsense, and when she saw that Afu was fine, she asked, "Before you finished speaking, what did you distant relatives do when they came to Beijing?" β
On weekdays, it is not Jiang Ying's habit to ask about other people's gossip, but when it comes to girlfriends, she wants to ask more.
Song Chunyue didn't know what she had in mind. There was some mockery in his eyes. That's when he opened his mouth.
"Didn't the couple bring a daughter here, the girl gave birth well, but although she called me a cousin according to Jingping's age, she was actually more than a year older than me. This year is a full nineteen. After the New Year, I will be 20 years old. But he didn't even settle down on the family affairs. Because this girl is not very good-natured, at first I thought that she was picky, so she delayed - but guess what? β
Jiang Ying didn't know the inner reason. He just shook his head as he ate, motioning for her to continue.
Later, Jingping told me about the situation, and I learned that she had set up a family business when she was fifteen years old, and she was a big local family. But before the day of the door, the family was stumped by their peers in business, lost their capital, and owed a debt of fart/stock, the girl didn't say anything, but her father and mother repented of the marriage and refused to admit this family business again...... At that time, there was a lot of uproar, but they didn't realize it, and asked the matchmaker to help find someone with a good family background, but their reputation was ruined, and the big families had good faces, how could anyone be willing to marry his girl? They are still unwilling to 'yield', feeling that their daughters are beautiful and fragrant, and ordinary poor families are not worthy of them. β
It turned out to be such a delay.
Jiang Ying was dumbfounded.
Let's not talk about this girl for the time being, just say that there is such a pair of parents on the stall, this girl is really unlucky.
Song Chunyue continued: "Jing Ping asked about their real reason, and they actually asked us to tell this girl that they were here - probably because they lost their reputation in the local area, and it was difficult to find someone else, and they learned that Jing Ping is now studying in the Guozi Prison and has met many powerful children, so he brought his daughter over under the name of going to Beijing to do business. β
"And you agreed?" Jiang Ying asked.
Song Chunyue sighed and said, "Jingping and I want to agree, but can we agree to this?" Let's not say that this girl is past the appropriate age, just say that they are a foreigner, and the background of the family is an ordinary farmer...... Taking over this matter is not what a man should do, if Jing Ping really opens up with someone, I am afraid that it will damage his reputation. β
Speaking of this, he added: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you barely find a suitable one, but with the couple's dislike of poverty and love for rich, if there is any dispute in the future, Jing Ping doesn't know how difficult it is to do it as an intermediary......"
Of course, this is an afterthought, but it can indeed be regarded as a hidden worry.
Jiang Ying listened to her say this and nodded in agreement.
"This is indeed a troublesome matter that cannot be handled, if you force it to come down for a while, I am afraid that there will be troubles to solve in the future." It's not appropriate to say more about the suspicion of 'getting in the way', but the other party is Song Chunyue, so there is no need to worry too much.
"That's what Jing Ping and I thought, so I didn't dare to agree. But they stalked and refused to let go...... The more they are like this, the more Jing Ping feels that he can't have a deep friendship, so he just told me that he doesn't have to worry about it, let them say whatever they say, it's a big deal to tear his face, and he will not have this distant relative in the future. β
Although Zhou Jingping seems to be humble and polite, he is indeed not a person who will cause trouble for himself because of his soft-heartedness.
Seeing that a good sister can have such a sober-minded good husband, Jiang Ying is also relieved from the bottom of her heart.
smiled and said: "Since Brother Zhou has already made a decision, then you will listen to him, don't think about it, in the final analysis, it is always someone else's business." β
Song Chunyue smiled and nodded, choking the topic away.
"You can't patronize the affairs of the family, you have to do housework and take Ah Rong with you, it's enough to be tired, but you can't treat yourself badly in terms of food and drink. Look at you are so thin now, you should have lost more than 20 pounds after giving birth, right? Jiang Ying handed a long strip of peanut cake to her and said.
"How can there be so many?" Song Chunyue sat cross-legged. Holding the child in one hand, he took the peanut crisp handed by Jiang Ying in the other, and asked in turn: "I see that you are getting thinner and thinner, you said that you haven't seen you eat less on weekdays, why don't you have any meat at all?" But the spleen and stomach are too bad? Have you ever asked the doctor to take a closer look? β
Jiang Ying nodded along with her words, only to say that her spleen and stomach are indeed bad, but after some time of recuperation, it will be somewhat better.
"When my mother-in-law was alive, her spleen and stomach were too weak, and she was so thin that people felt pitiful when they looked at it. I was serving her. I consulted Lang Zhong about a lot of stomach-nourishing porridge, medicinal diets, etc. Wait for Jingping to come back later, and I'll ask him to write a recipe for you. β
Jiang Ying smiled and did not refuse.
The two of them talked and laughed for a while, Ah Rong, Zhou Jingping and the family of three surnamed Cheng. So he came back in a rented mule cart.
"Spring Moon. Go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water. β
The hidden door was pushed open from the outside. Zhou Jingping strode ahead, and saw Song Chunyue sitting under the tree, and opened his mouth to say this.
Song Chunyue saw that his face was quite complicated. Just as he was puzzled, he saw the Cheng family couple behind Zhou Jingping helping their daughter Cheng Zhizhi to come in, and this Cheng girl was actually soaking wet and looking embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Song Chunyue hurriedly stood up with the child in her arms.
Zhou Jingping: "I'll talk about this later, you go and boil water first-"
"Oh...... Good. Song Chunyue handed the child into the arms of Jiang Ying, who also stood up, and glanced at Cheng Zhizhi, who was still stained with water droplets, and hurried towards the kitchen.
It's late autumn now, and Cheng Zhizhi's appearance makes people feel chills when they look at it.
The trembling Cheng Zhizhi was helped into the room by her mother Ning, and when she passed by Jiang Ying, Zhou Jingping turned around in avoidance, but Jiang Ying subconsciously glanced at the girl.
But because her wet hair covered half of her cheeks and she couldn't see her exact appearance, Jiang Ying only saw the drooping eyelids and her thin blue lips tightly pursed.
Jiang Ying didn't look at it much, and only stood in place with Afu in her arms.
"I have to bother my cousin and nephew to make decisions for Zhizhi!" Seeing his wife and daughter enter the room and close the door, Cheng Qingyu, a man from the Cheng family, suddenly said to Zhou Jingping with a disgruntled face.
He gave birth to a short man, only to Zhou Jingping's shoulders, but he was strong, with black pimples and mung bean eyes, although he looked like a cropper, but at first glance he was not a good look.
ββ¦β¦ At that time, the situation was critical, and people also came to the rescue with some good intentions, so my uncle could rest assured that I would let him keep it a secret and never ruin my cousin's reputation. β
"At that time, so many people watched, can they keep it?"
Zhou Jingping explained kindly: "Uncle can rest assured that you and your cousin are not from the capital, no one knows about it, and besides, you are outside the city, even if there are really good people to talk about it a few times, you can't find your cousin's head." In the future, when you and your cousin return to Suzhou with your cousin, there will be no more obstacles. β
However, hearing Zhou Jingping say this, the man was anxious, "What you said is easy, but the matter is not a misunderstanding, but it really happened!" Listening to what you mean, is it because I, as a father, watched my daughter's innocence being ruined, and pretended to be deaf and dumb when nothing happened? β
Zhou Jingping's expression looked extremely helpless, and he didn't argue with him more, and only asked, "Then according to my uncle's opinion, what should I do?" β
Seeing that the right to speak was back in his hands, the man's face softened a little, and said, "I just heard him talk to you, and the two of you seem to know each other." Does he have a wife in his house? β
Zhou Jingping frowned.
Sure enough, he gave it right!
His uncle actually came up with this idea.
Seeing that Zhou Jingping didn't speak, Cheng Qingyu said again: "It's okay to have a family, we are not unreasonable people, we have to force him to divorce his wife - but on Zhizhi's side, he must be responsible to the end, and it is understandable to be a flat wife." Where do you live? I'll have to ask for it myself. β
Zhou Jingping really couldn't cry or laugh.
What is a divorced wife and an equal wife, where is this?
"Uncle, don't worry, this matter is not trivial, it needs to be considered in the long run...... Zhou Jingping did not directly deny his plan, but temporarily stabilized the person and said: "Uncle is also a lot wet, it is better to go back to the room first to change into dry clothes, so as not to get into trouble if you get caught in the wind and cold." β
Cheng Qingyu's eyes rolled, as if he thought that the person wouldn't be able to run for a while anyway, so he nodded and went back to the room to change clothes.
After he left, Zhou Jingping sighed heavily.
Jiang Ying stood under the tree with Ah Rong in her arms and glanced at him, but she didn't ask anything.
"Miss Jiang." Zhou Jingping could only take care of greeting Jiang Ying.
"Brother Zhou." Jiang Ying smiled, as if she hadn't heard Fang Cai's conversation.
Zhou Jingping smiled bitterly at her inexplicably, shook his head and said, "It's troublesome." β
Jiang Ying was stunned.
"My cousin fell into the water outside the city and came to the rescue of a man...... Can Miss Jiang guess who the man is? β
Jiang Ying shook her head.
However, when he heard Zhou Jingping's tone and understood that he was not a person who liked to gossip about others, he faintly realized that this matter was more or less related to her.
And so it turned out.
"It's the second son of Liang."
"Ahββ?h Jiang Ying was taken aback!
How could it be Fang Er!
"This ......"
It's a good thing, I thought it was someone else's bad thing, but it suddenly became my own trouble......
