Chapter 146: Parting (Second Watch)
The weather is getting colder and colder, and there have been two heavy snowfalls this year.
In her previous life, Shu Yao was extremely afraid of the cold, and when it was cold, she would stay in the house and not want to move, even during the three years when she hid in the countryside with Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei doted on her, knowing that she was afraid of the cold and couldn't afford to burn charcoal, she always let her wrap the quilt and nest on the kang to do embroidery work, and things like washing water and cooking at home were all done by Xiu Tao, and she had to bring the rice to the kang for Shu Yao to eat. And Aunt Mei wants to go to the landlord's old rich house to help earn money, and when she returns home, she will continue to help people wash clothes to earn some subsidies, and the colder it is, the easier it is to take the job of washing clothes. Until now, Shu Yao clearly remembers Aunt Mei's hands that were red and swollen all winter.
In this life, she is well raised, nourished by aura, and has practiced martial arts for a long time to practice internal strength, Shu Yao is not afraid of the cold, and she still gets up early in the morning to go to the big garden to "fly" a few laps. It's just that the two lazy guys of Xiao Liang and Huohuo are unwilling to come out to accompany the little master to "go crazy" no matter what, and only hide in the warm room to sleep. Unless the sun is good, they will go to the yard to bask in the sun.
Also "hibernation and laziness" is Xiao Wu Mu Yongjing, since the weather is cold, he is not bad in the summer house. Even if you come back from the academy and go to the summer house to practice martial arts or play with Shuwen, you have to go back to the Hou Mansion after dinner.
Wei Yuanhou asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Don't you have a dragon in their house? Too cold to sleep? No, it seems that there is. ”
Xiao Wu's eyes dodged and said, "I miss you, didn't my mother say that I can't be at home?" ”
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Yao Xuelan nodded Xiao Wu's forehead and said with a smile: "Really? Isn't it because Wen'er gets up early to practice martial arts, you want to sleep lazy and embarrassed? ”
Xiao Wu was broken by his mother. The little blushed and muttered sleepy. I'm going back to sleep in my yard. Then he fled as quickly as the wind, causing Yao Xuelan to laugh. Wei Yuanhou also shook his head amusedly, this son is only one and a half years younger than Shuwen, too squeamish. But then again, since Shuwen and they came to the capital, Xiao Wu has improved a lot, well, I still have to let him follow Shuwen more. About the same age, susceptible.
The days passed plainly and warmly, and Shu Yao felt that this was the life she wanted, happy, from the heart, except for the parting she was about to face.
The "Yunxuan" Beijing branch has basically stabilized, Xia Ruoyun and Zhang Caishu are going back to Lucheng, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Zhang's mansion is so big, there are many things to prepare.
Shu Yao and the three of them were reluctant. Xia Ruoyun's eyes were red and he said, "Silly boy, it's not that far." It's only a seven- or eight-day journey, and we can still come later." Your uncle will basically go to Beijing once a month or two, and it is very convenient to bring things and a letter, do you have to tell your aunt and uncle if you have any needs? ”
Shu Yao nodded: "Auntie, you have to take good care of your body, and we will also go back to see you." "Although it is only seven or eight days away, Xia Ruoyun is the housewife, how can she often be away from home for so long? This time it was an exception. It only takes three hours from Lucheng to Yulin, and there is no major event, Xia Ruoyun can't go often, and basically has to go with Zhang Caishu.
Zhang Caishu comforted his wife: "Don't worry, Brother Jie and the three of them will only get better and better, in fact, it is much better in the capital than in Yulin, just in front of Jin Gongzi and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and far away from Naxia Mansion and Zhen Mansion, and now the second lady Sima is also fluttering." ”
Xia Ruoyun frowned: "This is the reason, but that Murong Mansion ...... Alas...... And what else...... There are many nobles in this capital, and it is also a place with many rights and wrongs. ”
"Where there are people, there is right and wrong," Zhang Caishu said with a smile, "You have to believe that Brother Jie and the three of them, in the past three years, how many things have they encountered, which time is not better than the adults?" All three of them were successful. And I come here often, and we'll know anything about them. ”
Because Yulin Town is the only way to go, Zhang Caishu and Xia Ruoyun will also go to Yulin Xia Mansion to visit Aunt Mei. In addition to helping bring two carts of soybeans, the three Shu Yao siblings also asked Xia Ruoyun to bring Aunt Mei some things for the New Year, as well as a letter.
Xia Ruoyun's family of four left, and there was no Zhang Xu and Zhang Chen, two lively, especially Xiao Zhang Chen, who could always make laughter, and the Xia house was a lot quieter all of a sudden. Shuwen sighed: "I want to annoy Brother Chen now. ”
Shujie said angrily: "When Chen'er was here, you thought he was small and clingy, so you thought about it again now, right?" People, learn to cherish. ”
In a few days, Kim Heeda will also set off for the southwest. Shu Yao is very depressed, this emperor is too inconsiderate, the New Year is coming soon, I have to go at this time, can't I go after the New Year?
Jin Xida patted Shu Yao's head lightly: "This time was set by my father-in-law, naturally there are special reasons, and I missed the best time after the New Year." Now that you have basically settled down, there is anything you can do to find Marquis Weiyuan. Well, also, if someone from the Jin family comes to the door, no matter who it is, no matter whether the attitude is soft or hard, you don't have to pay attention to it, just say that the emperor's holy decree has been clearly explained. As for reputation, filial piety, etc., I have never cared about your father-in-law, and you don't need to worry about me. ”
Shujie and Shuwen saw that Jin Xida was serious, and hurriedly responded.
Shu Yao lost his mind for a moment: "No matter who it is"? "It doesn't matter if the attitude is soft or hard"? Is the stepfather alluding to his parents? The stepfather is not a cold and ruthless person, which can be seen from his infatuation with his mother and the care of his three brothers and sisters. Moreover, if the father-in-law is really a cold and unfilial person, the emperor will not value him so much. How can a person who is unfilial and unrighteous be faithful?
What kind of people are the parents and brothers of the stepfather? What did they do to him that made their stepfather already disheartened with them? I would rather live in a cold courtyard than go back to Jinfu. Also, no one in the Jin family appeared for such a major event as the righteous father's recognition of the righteous son and the righteous daughter, and even the emperor intended to condone and protect it, issued such a holy decree, and added such a sentence that made the Jin family very faceless.
My mother said that tigers do not eat their children, and no parents (especially mothers) do not love their children. Old Mrs. Xia didn't like their father Xia Linxuan, because he was a concubine, not born to her. Mrs. Zhen doesn't like their mother, Donnie Yen, because she is not Zhen's biological daughter. So what are the old ladies and old ladies of the Jin family for?
Forget it, don't think about it. Big families, especially those so-called families, lack the most thing is true feelings. It doesn't matter if his father-in-law's parents and brothers don't want to see him, he still has their three brothers and sisters, as long as they take care of him and be filial to his father-in-law.
Of course, it would be better if they could remove the wounds in the heart of the stepfather and let him find another woman who suited him, they didn't mind having another stepmother.
Shu Yao took out the medicine bottles that had been prepared for Jin Xida, including the last one "Hui Yuan Dan", one "Baihua Dan" antidote pill, a porcelain bottle with good wound medicine, as well as three round porcelain bottles the size of her fist and a few red pills.
Shu Yao explained in detail: "Father-in-law, these medicines are made by the divine doctor Gao Mingde, and my master Bo Wu Zhenzi has done some treatment, and the effect has almost doubled. You carry it close to you just in case. These three porcelain bottles are poison, in case of any danger, you pull up the hemp rope on the lid and throw it to the bad guys, the contents will blow up the whole bottle, the poisonous smoke will be filled, they will not see you, and if you don't cover your mouth and nose quickly, you will also have a pain in the bones of the poisoned smoke, and those red pills are the antidote.
