Shu Yao shook her head and smiled, scenes like this can be seen almost every day, but it adds a lot of laughter to the Lianghou Mansion.

Zhong Jiayi's eyes lit up when he saw Shu Yao coming: "Sister Yao'er is here, that box is the birthday gift I prepared for you, let's see if you like it?" ”

Shuwen pouted disdainfully: "It's two days late, and I'm embarrassed to show off here." However, he really liked the Burmese scimitar that Zhong Jiayi gave him, as delicate as a dagger, sharpened iron like clay, and the handle was inlaid with his favorite glass colorless jadeite carved from a majestic leopard. I don't know, what did this kid give to his sister?

Shu Yao didn't squirm, opened the box handed over by Zijin with a smile, and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off. In the box is a blooming jade carved lotus, the petals are carved from a whole piece of white jade, and the stamens carved by the golden silk jade, the green lotus leaves, and the lotus stem are also inlaid with the lotus petals.

This miniature version of the lotus flower made everyone who saw it in the place exclaim: It is so beautiful!

The businessman's thinking of the book immediately diverged: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Dunzi said, you took so much trouble to prepare gifts, what do you want my sister to help with? It won't be a big hassle, right? ”

Zhong Jiayi's face flushed: "Didn't I bother to prepare your birthday gift every time?" "But today I really have something to ask for, although this jade lotus is exquisite, it is definitely not as precious as the best medicine that can remove old scars, isn't it? Originally, he was a little embarrassed to ask for such a precious medicine, but now he was "exposed" by the book again, Zhong Jiayi felt embarrassed.

Shu Yao smiled "poof": "Brother Dunzi, what's wrong?" When didn't the two of you bury each other like this when you were growing up? Why did you take Wen'er's words seriously today? If there is anything I can help with, even if there is no Jade Lotus, it will be the same. ”

Zhong Jiayi suddenly felt comfortable. That's it. Sister Yao'er treats herself like her own brother. Didn't you take the initiative to give yourself the scar removal medicine that year? But the scar on his forehead is too shallow and small to be wasted. Now that he is really in need, what is the good heart of opening up to his sister-in-law?

As soon as the entanglement in his heart was removed, Zhong Jiayi immediately regained his usual straightforwardness and neatness: "Sister Yao'er, I really came here today, and I want to ask my sister for something, that is, the medicine that can remove old scars, can my sister give me a little even?" ”

Shu Yao was stunned. Then he looked at Zhong Jiayi's left forehead with a smile: "Of course you can, I told you a long time ago, where do you need to ask for it?" "Seventeen or eighteen years old, and he's also a big man, Brother Dunzi is starting to pay attention to his appearance, do you mind that shallow scar? Shu Yao smiled secretly: "I'll go get it for you." ”

Zhong Jiayi's face turned red again: "No...... It's not for me, I'm a man, the scar is shallow, where do I need to waste such a good medicine. Yes, it's for a girl. The wound was on the back, and it was said to be quite long. ”

The text of the book "Ah-" sounded. Curiously, he stretched out his head and came over, "Girl?" Hey, what girl? Do you want our Zhong Shizi to ask for medicine in person? Oh no, it's hurt on the back? How can a girl's family be injured on her back, isn't it the prince of the world who whipped it with a leather whip? ”

Shuwen has heard that once the maid climbed the bed, Zhong Jiayi was so angry that he took the belt next to the bed and smoked it, and he didn't know what it meant to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

What's the same thing? Zhong Jiayi was so angry that he glared at Shuwen fiercely, didn't he just come back a day late? This guy has a grudge against him, and he always opposes him today.

Seeing Shu Yao's smiling eyes, Zhong Jiayi became even more anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Yao'er, don't listen to his nonsense, the scars are black...... It was accidentally scratched by a mountain rock when the girl was a child, what does it have to do with me? ”

Shu Yao's sisters and brothers are all people with keen five senses, so naturally they didn't ignore the word "Wu", the girl's surname is Wu? Hehe. Looking at Zhong Jiayi's anxious and awkward appearance, it seems that she is quite attentive, too, how can she ask for medicine if she is not careful?

However, although Shuwen has a deep friendship with Zhong Jiayi, firstly, he dislikes men to gossip like women, and secondly, Shuwen is now focused on the civil and military examinations, and he is busy with his family's business when he has spare time, and he is still young, so he is really not enlightened at all in terms of male and female affairs, and he has no interest in gossiping. And Shu Yao is a woman, so it's hard to ask such a thing.

Mrs. Jin's thoughts just now were on Rolling and Dudu, and at this moment, the two nurses were feeding them puree, so she turned her head and greeted Zhong Jiayi: "Are you staying in Beijing when you come back this time?" Your grandmother has been talking about your family. "Zhong Jiayi is a sought-after son-in-law among the children of the undecided family, and he is the future heir to the head of the Zhong family.

It's just that Zhongguo Gong felt the father-son atmosphere of the Lianghou Mansion and Jin Xida's enlightened approach, and decided to consider his own preferences to a certain extent in Zhong Jiayi's family affairs. Zhong Jiayi asked why it was only "considered to a certain extent"? Zhongguo Gong immediately glared at him: "Do you think you have the calmness and ability of the Shujie brothers?" Even the books that are two years younger than you are more stable than yours. "Forget about the rest, if you get an unreliable future housewife into the mansion, can you not let the Zhongguo Mansion make jokes?

Zhong Jiayi was inexplicably upset when he heard the word "family affairs", but when Mrs. Jin asked, he still didn't dare to show the slightest impatience, and responded in a proper manner: "This time I can only stay in Beijing for a few days, the errand in the southwest has not been completed, and I am afraid that I will not be able to really come back until the next year." ”

Zhong Jiayi has no great achievements in civil and military affairs, but his brain is flexible, he dares to take the "side door", and is good at acting in a curve to achieve those results and goals that are not easy to take.

In the past few days, I returned to Beijing mainly to report to the emperor on the situation of the garrison and reclamation of the capital city, as well as to raise and purchase the necessary items along the road, and to recruit some professional craftsmen. Of course, there is also his own private purpose, which is to find Shu Yao to ask for an elixir to remove scars.

The old lady praised: "I heard that you are very capable now, and your grandmother can't stop smiling when she mentions it." "Zhong Jiayi is the son who will inherit the title, but who doesn't like their children and grandchildren to be capable and valued by the imperial court? In comparison, it is not so urgent to get married, a man has a family background, a title, and is capable and promising, so why not have a good family to take the initiative to come to the door and wait?

……

Zhong Jiayi and Shuwen chatted with the old lady while waiting for Shu Yao, who returned to Mingyue Garden to get medicine, and Guan's mother rushed in with a happy face, and said a few words in the old lady's ear, the old lady was stunned for a while, and then she was overjoyed and came back to her senses: "Hurry up, I want to go over and have a look, don't look at Mo Niang's age, but she has no experience at all." ”

Guan's mother hesitated: "The sun is getting big at this time, the eldest grandmother is taking care of the lady herself, and she has already ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor to go, and specially told the old lady to wait for the news here with peace of mind, you see......"

Old Madam Jin waved her hand: "There are not many places to bask in the sun here, just let people hold an umbrella, where can I feel at ease if I don't go over to look at it?" I can't sit still here. After saying that, he told the nurses and maids to take care of the rolling and dudu, and then prepared to get up and leave.

The text of the book is vague, this is the stepmother, and the sister-in-law takes care of it personally, and she asks the doctor again, could it be that the stepmother is sick? But seeing that the faces of my grandmother and my mother were not the same, I hurriedly said, "What happened to make my grandmother brave the sun?" Does anyone who is sick need to be treated with a doctor? "My father-in-law and eldest brother are not at home, he is a man who can take charge of things in the family, and he naturally can't ask if something happens.

Mrs. Jin was about to speak, but thinking that Zhong Jiayi was an outsider after all, and now that the matter had not yet been decided, how could she publicize it, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, your sister-in-law asked the imperial doctor to come and treat me and your stepmother." You're waiting for Yao'er here, and you just happen to be playing with Rolling and Dudu, and they won't want to sleep for a while. ”

Shuwen intuitively felt that there were too many loopholes in the old lady's words, but there should be nothing bad to happen when she saw the old lady's happy face, I am afraid that she was too careful, and replied with a smile: "That is the case, grandmother, go away, take care of your grandmother, take care of your grandmother." ”

Unexpectedly, the grandmother here hurriedly went to the main courtyard, and Shu Yao didn't come back for a long time, and after waiting for a while, she saw Zijin come in with a small porcelain bottle and hand it to Zhong Jiayi: "Master Zhong, our county lord said that this medicine should be wiped every three days, no matter how serious it is, it is estimated that there will be basically no scar visible after three or four times." "The scar on her mother Jinniang's face that was so serious and so many years with a hairpin has only been used three times, and now her face is as smooth as jade, where did people who don't know think that there was a hideous scar on that face?

Zhong Jiayi was overjoyed, he had just heard Shuwen say that Shu Yao had removed Jinniang's scars, and he was full of confidence and expectation for the bottle of medicine on his hand, with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you Sister Yao'er on my behalf, and when I come back from the southwest, I will thank you in person." ”

He has been back to Beijing for a short time, and he still has some things to deal with and some elders to meet. At this time, holding the medicine bottle like a treasure, he couldn't wait to fly back to the southwest immediately, and he didn't dare to stay longer at the moment, so he said goodbye and left.

Shuwen didn't care about sending Zhong Jiayi out, anyway, the two of them never paid attention to these false courtesies when they went to each other's mansions and walked through the back door, and looked at Zijin anxiously and asked, "What happened?" Is it really just to regulate the body? "If that's the case, Yao'er is in such a hurry to get there?

Zijin smiled: "It's a big happy event, I'm afraid the second master will have a little brother or little sister." (To be continued......)
