Chapter 226: Presiding
Jiang Yan's temper was strong, and Huo Shijiu knew that he couldn't screw her, so he had no choice but to sigh. When I returned to Xiaoyi Academy, I first watched her take medicine, and then personally rubbed medicinal oil and paste plasters for her, and then went to the inner room to open a cabinet carved from yellow rosewood, and chose a silver mouse skin skirt with light apricot velvet, and changed it for her by hand.
Jiang Yan took medicine and used plasters, in fact, it was not difficult to stand up, and her endurance was excellent, so she couldn't bear such a little pain. But during the whole process, Huo Jiujiu didn't allow her to move by herself, but sat on his lap with her in his arms, serving her carefully.
His arms were around her, and she was treated meekly like a child. Jiang Fei's heart lake seemed to have thrown a small pebble, and there were ripples rippling in circles, and she turned her head sideways to look at Huo Shijiu's focused side face as if she was facing some sacred task, and couldn't help but peck him lightly on the cheek.
"You little scoundrel, why did you bite me." Huo Shijiu smiled and looked into the soft eyes like spring water.
Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing, "Where is the bite you." ”
"Just bite me, you bite me, I have to bite back." Huo Jiujiu hugged her as he spoke, scraped her cheek with his teeth, and kissed her ear and delicate neck.
Jiang Yu chuckled and dodged, but he was always imprisoned on his knees, and finally had to bury his face in his shoulder socket, and said breathlessly with a smile: "If you make trouble with me again, I will ignore you." ”
Huo Jiu tightened his embrace, rested his chin on her shoulder, and sighed with satisfaction, "Little girl, it would be nice if we could be like this forever." ”
"Why not forever? Absolutely. Jiang Yan's voice was muffled.
Huo Jiu's heart is actually like a heavy stone, there has been repeated turmoil in the court, and the fact that the British Duke is silent for the time being does not mean that he will let them go lightly. The emperor was addicted to drugs again. It's hard to heal for a while. He made too many enemies in his early years. If he is not careful, his family will become a victim on the road to his ideals, not to mention, he never thought that he would be able to die right.
Now that she was in his arms, her delicate body embedded in his arms, he wished that time had stopped here.
But Huo Jiujiu also knew that this kind of thinking was an escape and something he disdained.
"In the future, my son will grow up. Let's be tired of being in one place like this again, I'm afraid we will be laughed at. Huo Nineteen smiled: "Moreover, when you are thirty years old, I will be fifty-one years old." ”
"What are you afraid of. If you're a little older and a little uglier, I'm more at ease. Jiang Yu smiled and pushed him: "It's cold outside, you go and get my big coat." ”
"Yes." Huo Jiujiu put her on the Luohan bed, went to take the big coat of the white rabbit style fur collar to put it on her, bowed down to sit on the warm kang at her height, and deftly tied the red ribbon with the collar buckle for her with slender fingers, and tied a beautiful bow. Then he touched her head with satisfaction: "My concubine is the most beautiful." Looking at Jiang Yan's eyes, her eyes were full of pity.
Jiang Wei is not an orphan in this life. He had never been treated like this, and he was so intimate with her. It was more than her father's love for her when she was young, her face was a little hot, she took his hand and slowly stood up, and said, "Let's go." ”
Huo Jiu raised his voice and ordered someone to prepare the car, and directly hugged her up.
"I can walk on my own, and I'm not crippled."
"Nonsense!" Huo Jiu hit her head with dissatisfaction, "The mouth is open, what is not broken!" ”
Jiang Yan stuck out her tongue and leaned her face on his shoulder. Since he likes to serve, it is up to him.
On the way out of the house, hugging the person wearing a thick cotton skirt, Huo Shijiu still saw sweat on his forehead, and when he got into the carriage, Jiang Wei wiped his sweat with his sleeves and said with a smile: "It seems that I should eat less." ”
"It's because I'm supposed to be exercising, and I'm too useless."
The two talked and laughed, and soon the carriage arrived at the other courtyard.
Jiang Yan looked at the closed vermilion lacquer door, feeling a little awkward. Although she took the initiative to come, she still felt uncomfortable in the face of Jiang Xuewen, she was really afraid that she was saying something hurtful in front of him, even if Jiang Xuewen did those things that she couldn't look down on first.
Huo Nineteen got out of the carriage and ordered someone to knock on the door.
After a while, I heard a "squeak", perhaps because it had not been opened for a long time, and there was a loud noise when the side door was pushed open. Several subordinates trotted out and knelt down in front of the gate of the house and saluted.
Huo Jiujiu helped Jiang Yu get out of the car and ordered: "Prepare your shoulders." ”
"Yes."
Immediately someone went and lifted his shoulders.
Huo Shijiu helped Jiang Yu to sit on her shoulder, and she accompanied her on the side, while Cao Yu and Sixi followed Huo Shijiu and went all the way to the house.
"Where's my father-in-law?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, Lord Jiang is in the front hall at this time."
"Is there anyone waiting for you?"
"There must be someone." The little guy laughed flatteringly.
When Huo Shijiu heard this, he smiled and said, "If there is a person who does not serve well, you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”
"How dare you be a little one?"
When the little girl replied, Jiang Yan held the small brass stove and sat on her shoulder to observe the surroundings. The house is not big, but it is the same as the Huo house, all belong to the delicate and meticulous type, the carved gallery painting eaves teeth are high, the design is extremely ingenious, the reason why it is called the other courtyard here, is because the scenery is good, the little emperor used to often come here to live.
Rewarding this place to Jiang Xuewen is really enough for Jiang Xuewen's style.
All the way to the front yard, the servant gently lowered his shoulder.
Jiang Yu took Huo Shijiu's hand and walked to the front hall together. Just before reaching the steps, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys wearing brown and yellow short brown saluted: "I've seen Master Hou, madam." ”
"Hmm. Are you new here? Huo Nineteen asked.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the little ones are newly bought into the house."
Jiang Yu crossed the two of them and went up to the Danqi, lifted the curtain and entered the house.
The curtain is a silky brocade, and the material is of the highest quality, but it is not a cotton curtain. In such weather, with such a thin curtain, as soon as the wind blows, the house will leak.
When she entered the door, she found that the charcoal stove placed in public was empty, and the cold air made the tip of her nose chill when she breathed. There is no sunlight in the house, and there is no charcoal basin, which is colder than outside.
Jiang Yu didn't speak, but went to the side.
Jiang Xuewen sat on the big kang near the window with the official green mattress, and his crutches were set aside.
Seeing Jiang Yu coming in the door, Jiang Xuewen pursed his lips, his eyes were complicated, and he did not speak.
Jiang Yu did not greet Jiang Xuewen first, but first put her hand between the mattress and the warm kang.
It's cold to get into.
When the lid of the teapot was lifted, there was only a bottom left in the kettle, and the tea leaves had not been opened.
"The days have passed...... Not bad. Jiang Yu suddenly laughed.
Jiang Xuewen's face turned red, not only angry but also angry, and said coldly: "Naturally, it's good, you have fine clothes and food, don't worry about you." ”
Looking at Jiang Xuewen's stubborn face, Jiang Yu suddenly lost interest in talking to him, and only flicked her sleeves and walked outside. Her knees hurt terribly, but at the moment, she was full of anger as if she didn't feel the pain.
Only then did he get out of the side room, almost pretending to be full of Huo Nineteen.
"Girl, pay attention."
"A-Ying. My father doesn't have a woman here to preside over the feed, and since I'm here, I have to intervene. Jiang Yu sat upright in the main seat.
Huo Jiu smiled: "It's good if you're happy." He sat down beside Jiang Yan, looking completely at her mercy.
Jiang Yu chuckled and said, "Where is the person in charge?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the little one is here." A male voice came from outside the door, because of his lack of status and identity, he did not dare to enter the house rashly without the permission of his master.
Jiang Yu didn't have to think about it to know that the other party was kneeling properly, and she didn't let people get up, let alone be polite, and said straightforwardly: "You are deployed by the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, yes."
"Everything in this mansion is now yours to dispatch?"
"It's small."
"Hmm. How many of the mansions are from the Hou Mansion now, and how many are bought? ”
"Mrs. Hui, most of the maids in the house are maids, two mothers-in-law on the stove, two daughters-in-law in charge, a number of maids and little girls, and the little maid also brought four, and they bought the personal entourage who served Lord Jiang."
"What about you? What are you doing? ”
"As Madame said, the small is the overall scheduling."
"Very well, you're doing a good job."
The steward outside the door said with a happy voice, kowtowed, and said, "The little one doesn't dare to be appreciated by the lady, just do his duty." ”
When Jiang Yan heard this, a "snap" slap was lined up on the square table of rosewood, and she couldn't bear it and said, "Get out of here!" ”
As if unexpectedly, the hostess suddenly became angry, and the two long-term attendants and stewards standing in the courtyard, as well as several servants, all climbed into the house.
Jiang Wei pointed to the thin curtain and said, "It's cold, don't know how to change?" ”
He pointed to the charcoal basin again: "This is for decoration?" What about charcoals! ”
Then he said: "None of these, why doesn't the kang burn the fire!" Why is it cold tea in the teapot! Do you want your group of people to enjoy being uncles? “
Didn't it mean that Mrs. Jinninghou and her biological father had a very unpleasant quarrel, and even burned down their mother's house? Why do you care about these things now?
The person in charge was a little unsure of Jiang Yan's thoughts, and said, "Madam, this is to be prepared, but it's not cold yet, so I can't use it." ”
"Really? Then you also drink cold water and sleep on a cold kang at home? ”
"This ......" certainly can't be the case at home.
Jiang Wei sneered and said, "Come on, get two buckets of well water." ”
"Yes."
Naturally, there are small servants outside. Jiang Yu didn't speak, and waited with the warmth in her arms.
Huo Jiu glanced at Cao Yu, who was standing beside him, and didn't understand what kind of medicine Jiang Yu was selling in the gourd.
In a short time, two servants came in with wooden barrels and put water in the ground.
"Do you have tea?"
"Yes, yes."
The little guy smiled and brought the tea.
Jiang Wei pointed to the wooden barrel, "Pour it in." ”
The little girl was stunned, as if she couldn't understand Jiang Yan's words.
"I said, pour it in."
The little guy was frightened by Jiang Wei, and hurriedly poured some tea leaves into each of the two wooden barrels.
Jiang Yu looked at the two buckets of water and said to the steward: "You have served my father meritoriously, these two buckets of tea are for you, drink them all." (To be continued......)
