54. Chapter 54
Jiang Yu looked back when she heard the voice, and saw the future sister-in-law with a smile on her face, pulling a tall young man who looked five points similar to Huo Shijiu, and was dressed in a light blue robe, and took a closer look at the young man's appearance that was seven points similar to Zhao's.
"Sister-in-law." Huo Chuliu came to his knees and bent his knees, pulled Jiang Yan affectionately, and pointed at Huo Yi: "He is my second brother." ”
Jiang Yu poked the shovel into the ground and stood up, and greeted Huo Twenty-one.
When Huo Yan looked at Jiang Yan, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Zhao came with a smile: "The girl doesn't have to be restrained, his name is Twenty-One, and now he also has a table word, the single word 'Ming'." ”
"One Huo Ying, one Huo Ming, sound like two brothers!" Huo Dazhuan held the shovel and said heartily: "It is said that Lao Tzu named these rabbit cubs at the beginning, but it was suffocated, nineteen is good to say, born on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, called a birthday, the mother's second child was born on July 21, he was called Huo Eryi earlier, and later people said that it was ugly, what a man's family does is always called 'second aunt, second aunt'." Anyway, there is an old neighbor who has ink in his belly, and he said that twenty-one is twenty-one according to the yellow calendar, so he called Huo Twenty-one. ”
"You still have the face to say!" Zhao glared at Huo Dazhuan, "You don't know how to say about him, when he gave birth to the second child, he squatted at the door for three days, and said that he would first take a cheap name to make a living, and he had to call a 'wood', according to me, no matter how smart a child was called wood, it would be stupid." ”
Huo Dazhuan was embarrassed, and said unconvinced: "Then I still call it a 'big bolt', I'm not stupid!" ”
"You're not stupid? I haven't seen you yet! ”
……
Seeing that Huo Dazhuan and Zhao were actually talking and exposing each other's shortcomings, Jiang Yu blinked curiously.
Needless to say, she was an orphan in her previous life, but she had a family in this life, and her parents and sisters were sincere to her, but her father and mother were respectful to each other, and she had never seen such a lively time. Maybe they are elders and don't talk like this in front of their children, right?
But at this time, Jiang Yu felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
In fact, except for Huo Shijiu's character, the Huo family is still good.
Huo Twenty's brows furrowed into pimples, seeing that Huo Dazhuan and the Zhao family were in a better mood than usual, they were really happy that Huo Nineteen was finally going to marry, and he couldn't help but be irritable. Looking at Jiang Yu again, she felt even more regretful, and sighed, "A good girl, but she will be ruined by that bastard." ”
The originally lively scene instantly turned cold, and Huo Dazhuan and his wife looked at Jiang Yu worriedly.
Jiang Yu picked up the shovel and continued to turn the ground as if she had nothing to do.
Huo Dazhuan breathed a sigh of relief and kicked Huo Yi one by one when Jiang Wei turned his back on them. Huo Yi dodged quickly, and jumped away in one fell swoop. The angry Huo Dazhuan blew his beard and glared at him, and he didn't want to shout, so he had to watch Huo Twenty swagger and leave arrogantly.
At this time, in the study room of the outer courtyard, Huo Shijiu had changed into a royal blue Yunjin robe, his long hair was re-tied, and his face was sinking like water, and he stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands.
Listening to the rain, he bowed his head to the ground, "It was the slave and maid who did not serve well and did not protect the girl well, so that the girl fell into the water." Please punish him. ”
"Do you know that you are not serving well?" Huo Nineteen's voice was gentle and cold.
Listening to the rain, his back was cold, and he still knelt down, "Yes, the master instructed the slave and maid to serve the girl well, and the slave and maid violated the master's will." almost put the girl in danger, and it is really hard to escape the blame. ”
Huo Shijiu turned around and did not say anything to deal with it, but asked, "What did the girl do today, but what happened?" ”
Listening to the rain groaning, he said: "The girl is gentle and distant, in fact, there is no abnormality, but when watching the play, Miss Song of the Xinchang Hou family deliberately knocked over the fruit plate and stained the girl's clothes. On the way back from the slave maid waiting for the girl to change clothes with the second lady, Bingsong had anxiously shouted, "Where are you, girl", and I said that it was because there were many forks in the rockery, and I was talking to Bixiang and I didn't pay attention to the girl to get lost. Later, the girl said that she deliberately played with Bingsong. ”
Huo Nineteen groaned: "In the rockery? ”
"Yes, it's Furao Garden, which is next to Sydney Temple."
"And then there was the servant who knocked the girl into the water without paying attention?"
"That's true." Listening to the rain, "Master, the slave and maid feel that there must be something strange in it." Especially when the maid was whipped, her old son and two sisters were present, crying was broken liver and intestines, I later inquired, it is said that the maid's father is a rotten gambler, owes a famine, people said to pull his daughter to pay off the debt. ”
Huo Shijiu pondered for a moment before saying: "You go, if you don't serve the girl well, you will be fined for three months, and if there is a next time, you will pull out the valve." ”
Hearing the rain, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore, and the slave and the maid will retire." ”
After listening to the rain recede, Huo Shijiu leaned against the window lattice for a long time. When he analyzed what he heard today, Cao Yu stood beside him like a shadow, but he didn't make people feel his existence.
Until the next person came to pass the word: "Dinner has been prepared, the master invites the master to eat." ”
Huo Shijiu retracted his thoughts and returned to the inner house with Cao Yu.
After dinner, Huo Shijiu personally sent Jiang Yu home. Along the way, Jiang Wei instructed Bingsong not to mention the matter of falling into the water when she went home, and asked Bingsong to put away the ten taels of silver rewarded by the British public for herself, and then entered the house.
At this time, it was already dark, and in the past, the Tang family was not willing to pay for lamp oil, and only one lamp was lit in the house, but today when I went around the shadow wall, I saw that the front hall was brightly lit.
Jiang Yu asked Sister Yin: "There are guests at home?" ”
Sister Yin smiled: "No, a colleague of the master came to visit with his family." ”
Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows and entered the house, and saw Jiang Xuewen, Tang and a middle-aged couple sitting as guests. Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao were on the side, talking to a girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl was tall, wearing a tooth-white fine cotton jacket, and her black hair was combed into a bun.
When Jiang Yu saw her, she praised her in her heart.
She likes this kind of heroic woman the most, and she was like this in her previous life. This world gave birth to a lovely body, and her body is also petite, if it weren't for the sword eyebrows following Jiang Xuewen, coupled with her own eyes that have read all the vicissitudes of life, she really wants to be a pure weak woman. Not only did she envy this woman's size and appearance.
Jiang Xuewen was already smiling at this time and said, "Sister Yu is back?" I have come to see your uncle and aunt. ”
General Qiu? The one in the mouth of the British?
Jiang Yu lowered her forehead slightly, and stepped forward to salute silently.
Qiu Maogong and his wife Ren smiled and bowed their heads, and gave Jiang Wei a pair of bracelets of gold and silk as a meeting gift.
Tang smiled and said, "Sister Yu'er go and talk with your eldest sister with Changyin." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yu to answer, the heroic girl had already arrived in front of Jiang Yan, bent her knees neatly, and simply said: "My name is Qiu Xiangyin, you are Jiang Yan, right?" You don't have to worry, even if you marry Huo Ying's dog thief, it's not a big deal, he is exhausted, and you will be able to get out of the sea of misery soon. He smiled at her encouragingly.
