Chapter 35: Hope
Jinyu returned to the house, and as she did every day, she washed up and went to bed.
After watching the master's window go dark in the courtyard, Ping'er hesitated for a while before lighting the lantern and walking to the front yard. Halfway through, I saw a light coming towards me; "Who? Brother Xizi? She paused and asked.
"It's me." Respond to the other side.
"Mama Feng?" Ping'er screamed unexpectedly, because she was originally going to find Feng's mother.
The two of them lifted their feet and met together in a few steps. "Is there something?" Feng's mother asked, there was no one in the courtyard on the left and right, and she was not afraid of being listened to by others.
"How do you know?" Ping'er asked a little puzzled.
"And how do I know, Miss's heart is very well hidden, but you girl can't do it, no matter what, she shows her face. When I came back at night, I looked at you and felt that something was wrong, and I thought about it before I wanted to wait for the young lady to sleep and ask you. Feng Ma said.
Oh, Ping'er suddenly, why are you like this now? "Didn't Brother Xizi learn from you about the things on the street?" Ping'er remembered and asked.
Feng Ma shook her head, although that kid was his own person, he probably felt that he shouldn't say anything about the master, so he didn't say a word when he came back.
Ping'er couldn't hesitate anymore, so she learned from Feng's mother about meeting the second son of the Ma family on the street today. Seeing that the matter of the cook was insignificant to her, she did not say anything. Ping'er thinks that at the moment, Miss is like this, and Miss has no one to rely on, so pitiful.
It stands to reason that people shouldn't talk about the master's affairs, but now Ping'er doesn't find someone to think that she should find someone to talk to, she will go crazy, and among these people in the courtyard, only Feng Ma is suitable. "Mother Feng, I think the second son of Ma is really good, the last time the Yamen was a matter of him getting the letter in time, and after checking it, our young lady will be fine." I saw that he was really interesting to our young lady, but unfortunately, the young lady's refusal was not tactful at all. Ping'er said with pity.
"What do you know, Miss is very sad this time, it's only been a few months, do you think she will be in the mood to think about anything else? Hey, I think this injury will take at least a few years to recover, that's for the better.
Besides, what Miss said is not unreasonable, the master first rejected the proposal of the Ma family, and now that Miss agrees, do you think it will be so easy to marry? Even if the master of the Ma family feels sorry for his son, he reluctantly nods and agrees, and lets our young lady marry and become a wife, and the young lady will not have a good time in the future. Feng Ma thought through and said with a sigh.
"Actually, in fact, as long as Ma Ergongzi treats Miss sincerely, it doesn't matter if he doesn't be a wife. is a wife in the Cao family, but the Cao family is not like that. "Anyway, Ping'er just thinks that Miss Ma Ergongzi is the most suitable choice.
Let's not talk about anything else, at least Ma Ergongzi knows each other and knows the roots. Secondly, Ma Ergongzi's good buddies who play with his third young master will definitely be good to Miss. Besides, Ma Ergongzi still doesn't dislike Miss and Li, how rare is this.
"Okay, let's just talk about these words, don't mention it again in front of the young lady. I look at Miss's current temperament, you don't have to make her unhappy, otherwise, it's not my mother who scares you, and you yourself understand the consequences.
You are by Miss's side every day, and Miss looks fine, but it seems to be a different person, you won't be uncounted, right? Feng Ma kindly reminded.
"yes, I've been flustered." As soon as Feng's mother said this, Ping'er patted her heart with her hand and said.
"It's good to know, remember, Miss can do whatever she wants, and you don't have to talk too much in front of her. For now, we just need to serve her well, and remember, no matter what decision she makes, it's okay, because she is our master. Feng's mother told her again uneasily, and then separated from Ping'er and went back.
After being reminded by Feng's mother, Ping'er comforted herself in her heart and did what Feng's mother said. After dawn on the second day, Ping'er, who had been thinking about it for most of the night, had already figured it out, adjusted her mentality, and returned to her proper position. After washing, I waited mentally for the young lady to get up.
The days that followed have been peaceful, Jinyu has never gone out again, every day, practicing calligraphy, playing the piano, embroidery. There has never been anyone in the yamen, and the matter of Mrs. Yuan has really become an unsolvable case. Ma Ergongzi has never been here, except for the eldest lady who will come to see her sister every other month, no one else in the house has come to the door.
Feng's mother still went out to buy every day, and told Jinyu everything she heard about Yulin Town, especially the Cao family.
The Cao family is a big family, and they are married to the general's family, and they can hear about their family affairs without deliberately inquiring. After the young lady of the Yuan family entered the door, she arranged a dowry girl to serve her husband in the third month, and there were two of them at a time.
So, the contrast comes out. Look at the family of military generals, but they are impeccable. It's like the previous daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and the young lady of the prefect's family, who is actually a jealous woman. The people in the town were still talking, saying that the reason why the sixth lady of the Fang family after leaving was so difficult for Yuan Matchmaker was because she did not give up on the Cao family.
It's a pity, it's a pity, the bride of the Cao family is knowledgeable, dignified and virtuous, how can the son of the Cao family come to her again. Later, the bride gave birth to the heir of the Cao family, and the young lady of the Fang family was in a hurry to return to the Cao family, which was also wishful thinking.
The rumors outside are always hard to hear, and every time Feng's mother comes back to study, Jinyu is not uncomfortable at all, so she doesn't care about the gossip of those eight women. What she thought was funny was obviously a group of gossip women who didn't know the truth, but it sounded as if they were righteous.
However, the last time I talked to Ma Xuanyu on the street in the evening, although there was also gossip, because it was night, and Jinyu and Ma Xuanyu were both unfamiliar faces, no one knew who the man and woman were. They didn't get the number, which made Feng Ma and Ping'er breathe a sigh of relief.
For more than half a year, I didn't hear the good news that the Cao family paid attention to Jinyu, during this period, Jinyu was not idle, and with her memory, she tried more than a dozen kinds of strange and ingenious techniques in the miscellaneous book, and still never failed once.
This makes her feel more confident, heir? Cao's family, Rao is your shrewd calculation, grandchildren and grandchildren, you don't want to see them in this life. Jinyu is not worried at all, whether Cao Cheng's missing father is still alive outside, maybe he is already full of children and grandchildren.
was born in many places, and it was not from the Cao family, how could a vicious woman like her tolerate the children born by other women.
As for the Miss Yuan family, Jinyu didn't feel any guilt towards her, and the only thing she was ashamed of in this life was the child who died in her womb because she couldn't be alert earlier.
In the blink of an eye, the leaves began to turn yellow and fall, and autumn arrived.
Autumn is the harvest season, but what about yourself, what have you harvested? The joy of revenge?
Jin Yu stood under a tree, watching the gust of wind blowing, and the falling yellow leaves asked herself in her heart. It was a long time to wait for that surprise, but she had already heard the good news, saying that the Cao family had invited a doctor to come to the door.
I haven't heard that Cao's health is not good, Cao Cheng and his wife are also healthy, if the doctor comes to the door, of course Cao's is anxious. The most important thing is that although the doctor is tight-lipped, after the bride of the Cao family entered the door, there was no good news for so long, and people outside also speculated.
Who let so many good gossips wait to hear the good news, and feel sorry for the one who can let and leave?
Although she is still uncertain, Jinyu seems to have hope! You know, the thinking of ancient people is very good, if a woman has no news in her stomach, they will only suspect that there is something wrong with the woman's body, and they will not think that it is a man's problem at all.
Therefore, the doctor will only prescribe medicine for women to diagnose and treat, so Yuan's will also start to be anxious, right? While Jinyu was thinking, Ping'er came to look for her and told her that there was a guest coming, and that it was an unexpected guest.
Jinyu herself didn't know that this guest who came in late autumn changed the rest of her life......
