Chapter 43: Worry
In the midsummer afternoon, the tall banyan tree in the courtyard, under the full illumination of the sun, still dutifully stretches the huge canopy and covers the house, bringing rare coolness to the hostess in the house.
Jia Min had just gotten up from a nap, leaning lazily on the couch, with a homely bun full of green silk, only two mutton fat hostas, slightly closed eyes, and the pink palace fan with ivory handle in his hand shook lightly.
Because she was taking a nap, the whole yard was quiet, and the girls walked lightly, for fear of making a noise and disturbing him. Cuizhu and Mo Ju were both sitting on the kang in the outer room, doing needlework, embroidering Jia Min's clothes.
The weather in the middle of the city is sultry, even if there are icebergs in the house, Jia Min is still not very used to it, only feeling that movement is sweating, and the afternoon nap is too hot to sleep, and when he wakes up, he feels that his body is heavy, his head is dizzy, and he is not very awake. This can't be done, she felt that she was about to get angry, and opened her mouth to call: "Mo Ju." β
"Grandma." Seeing that Jia Min was awake, Cuizhu and Mo Ju hurriedly put down the work in their hands and came over to serve.
Jia Min lazily reclined on the bamboo couch, supported his cheek with one hand, and said with a somewhat wistful expression: "It's hot, come to the ice bowl." β
Mo Ju groaned for a while, but still opened her mouth to persuade: "Grandma, I just fell asleep, and my body is still hot, so it's better to use less ice." If you are thirsty, the uncle ordered the kitchen to prepare herbal tea to be delivered, specially mixed with honey, grandma is good to use this? β
"That's it." Jia Min sat up slowly, and Cuizhu had already prepared things for washing. She served Jia Min to the jade bracelet on her wrist, covered the placket with a big hand towel, and reached out to try the water, which was lukewarm and lukewarm, and then waited for Jia Min to clean her face and wash her hands. Because Jia Min thinks that the fat powder is greasy and hot, he never uses it at home, but only takes the rose flower dew, gently pats it on the face, and it's over.
Mo Ju held a small lacquered small square plate, on which was placed a small soup bowl of sweet white porcelain, and sent it to Jia Min. The herbal tea was still warm, and Jia Min drank it without taking a sip, still thinking about eating ice in his heart. It's just that she just took a nap, and these girls can't give it to her, so she has to be patient.
"Uncle is back?" Her eyes swept over the copper-gilt table clock in the house, it was already three o'clock, Lin Ruhai left at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was time to come back.
"Uncle hasn't come back yet."
Jia Min put the herbal tea in his hand on the table at will, got up and stayed, and said while changing his clothes: "Let the kitchen prepare hot water and sour plum soup, calculate the time, and the uncle should go back, don't go into the house when the time comes, nothing is ready." "is so considerate of her husband, but in fact, when someone goes out, he must come back with a body of wine, mixed with the incense on his body, the smell of sweat, which makes people unbearable.
"Wash a few more peaches, cut the watermelon and send it over." At this time, the fresh peaches in the capital are just right, Zhu Yanqing has just come off the market, the agate is red and ripe, the skin is thin and the meat is thick and juicy, the most sweet, Jia Min has fallen in love with it since he tasted it, and he has to eat a few every day. Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, likes three white melons, and often says that he has never eaten such a fragrant watermelon in modern times.
Cuizhu answered, and went out to tell the little girl, Mo Ju and Jia Min to comb their hair. Suddenly, an eight or nine-year-old boy ran into the Songfeng Courtyard like a gust of wind, the beads of sweat on his face were dripping down, he didn't care to wipe it, and he didn't stop wheezing, so he hurriedly said to Cuizhu who had just gone out: "Sister is not good, the uncle and the son of the Mu Xiang family have a fight." β
"What!" Cuizhu was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him, "What's the matter, didn't the uncle go to the same window, how did he fight with the son of the Mu Xiang family?" β
The little guy was just on an errand at the second gate, and he was sent to answer with the eldest grandmother, and he didn't know what he knew.
When Cuizhu saw it, he knew that he would not know, "You wait, I'll go back to grandma." β
Jia Min had already heard it in the house, and because his hair was not combed, it was inconvenient to go out, so he only instructed Cuizhu, "I already know, you go and reward him with a hundred dollars." β
"Yes." Cuizhu answered, turned around and grabbed two handfuls in the money box, didn't count, and went out to give it to the little guy, "Go, this is grandma's reward for you to buy fruit to eat." β
The little boy took the money, and happily knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to the house, and then walked away happily. Out of the Songfeng Courtyard and secretly said, no wonder everyone rushed to come to the Songfeng Courtyard to reply, the grandmother is really generous.
When Jia Min got married, it was the most prosperous time in Rongguo Mansion, and Rong Guogong was extremely decent in front of the saints, plus he went out to fight several battles and got countless money. Jia Min, as the youngest daughter of Jia Daishan and Jia's mother, has been pampered since she was a child, and when she got married, Rong Gong prepared a rich dowry for her daughter. Jia's mother secretly stuffed her daughter's countless private rooms, so Jia Min was extremely rich.
After Cheng Mo came through, she was already very good at property, and she could cross it once, although she didn't get any golden fingers for carrying space, cultivation exercises and universal systems, but she was quite cared for by the God of Wealth, and the ready-to-wear shop under her name only made a big business last month, and she made a lot of money.
Since there is a lot of money, she is generous, so that the girls and mothers-in-law in the Hou Mansion are happy to serve in Songfeng Courtyard. On weekdays, Jia Min has orders, and many people rush to run errands, and when she first marries, the people look on coldly and want to see her laughing, which is really a world of difference. On the one hand, Jia Min lamented Mrs. Lin's prestige in the Hou Mansion, and on the other hand, he had to admit that the charm of silver was much stronger than that of beauties.
"Okay, just two hairpins." Mo Ju combed Jia Min back into a bun, listened to her words, picked up two jasper hairpins inlaid with rubies, inserted them obliquely into the bun, and carefully picked out the little phoenix hairpin, inserted it carefully in the sideburns, and then raised the bronze mirror, "Grandma, look at it, this is feasible." β
Although Jia Min knew that her husband was surrounded by a few good fighters, Gu said that it was impossible to fight with one enemy, but it was not a problem for one person to deal with seven or eight. But this is the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the people who can prepare it, and the few people she and Jia Daishan are talking about are still uncertain whether they can sweep everything. Distressed that her husband might be bullied, she sat still, took a quick look at her outfit, and saw that there was no big problem, so she got up with the case, "Let's go, go to the wife's courtyard." β
The news about Lin Ruhai must have been transmitted back by the people who were with him, and it was reported to Mrs. Lin as soon as she was about to go, she wanted to know that she had to go to the main courtyard.
At this moment, the girls and mothers-in-law of the entire Songfeng Courtyard knew the news that the uncle had been beaten, and Bi Xuan and Qilan, who had been locked up in the house for almost a month, naturally also knew, and Bi Juan's hand trembled, and the needle was pierced on the finger. She didn't care about the blood beads staining the work, so she threw the things in her hand casually, jumped off the kang, and rushed out. Qilan's movements are not a few points slower than hers, but she has always been used to being gentle, and no matter how anxious she is, the steps under her feet are not much faster.
The two of them came out of the house, and happened to meet Jia Min with the girl and mother-in-law going to the main courtyard. Bi Xuan rushed over, knelt at Jia Min's feet, and pleaded softly: "Grandma, please take me with you." β
Jia Min was stopped by Lin Ruhai's Xi Mama before, and she was so upset by her crying that she had to take her with her, but this time she was blocked by two girls, and she asked to go to the main courtyard together. Her heart was on fire, she closed her eyes vigorously, and tried her best to ease her voice: "Uncle is following people, you will not suffer a loss, you don't have to worry too much, what should you do." β
"Grandma......" Qilan also knelt down and cried, the two girls cried like a tearful person for a while, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain, not to mention how pitiful it is. Jia Min saw the fire, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand hard, and glanced at Mama Qi who was waiting on the side, "Don't pull the two of them up, what are you crying and crying, the uncle is still dead!" He threw down this sentence, shook his hand and left.
Regardless of whether Bixuan and Qilan were made to cry by her words, they didn't cry, they didn't cry, they hated it in their hearts, Jia Min was here, and took the girl and her mother-in-law to the main courtyard in a hurry. Halfway through, I happened to meet Lily, who was sent to her by Mrs. Lin. She waved her hand to excuse the lily salute and asked directly: "What's the matter, the uncle has suffered a loss?" β
Lily hurriedly came over to support her, and said softly: "Shuangxi, who just followed the uncle out, came back to report the letter, saying that the uncle had a fight with Uncle Mu of the Mu family, Zhang Fu saw that it was not good, and hurriedly sent him back to deliver the letter." When he came back, the two had already been separated by Yang Gongzi. β
This means that her husband did not suffer a loss, and Jia Min's heart was finally put back in her stomach. She put her hand on her chest and let out a long breath, "But it scared me to death, it's good that I didn't suffer." β
"What the hell is Weishenme fighting?" Based on Jia Min's understanding of her husband, Mo said that Lin Ruhai is still very unfamiliar with the current environment, that is, he is familiar, and he is by no means the one who takes the initiative to cause trouble. Unless it's a move, someone scolds him, as long as he doesn't name and point to his head, he just doesn't hear it. The current matter is easy to guess, it must be that Mu Linruo's matter.
Damn, bully my husband too, see how I clean you up! Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are worthy of being husband and wife, and they immediately thought of the fact that they were obsessed with a dusty woman, and stabbed him to his father to know about it, so that his father could clean him up. As for whether to find someone to set his sack in the future, it mainly depends on whether his father beats him ruthlessly, if he beats him ruthlessly, forget it, if he beats him ruthlessly, he must put the sack on it.
While speaking, they have come to the main courtyard, and the girls and mothers-in-law who are standing under the porch all greet Jia Min when they see Jia Min coming, Jia Min raised his hand and kept walking forward. There were already two mothers-in-law, who raised the bamboo curtain high, and Jia Min smiled: "It's hard work." β
"Yo, it's not hard, it's not hard." The two mothers-in-law hurriedly replied with a smile, Jia Min had already entered the house, and several girls pouted and smiled when they saw this.
"Mrs. Ann." After Jia Min entered the house, he first greeted Mrs. Lin, who was sitting on the Luohan Collapse, and then greeted Lin Yun with each other, and sat on the chair on the left side at her suggestion. "Madam, I listened to the report of the little girl, and I hurried here, what is going on? Haven't the uncle and the son of the Mu Xiang family always been very good? β
Mrs. Lin knew Mu Lin, but she couldn't speak ill of Mu Lin in front of her daughter-in-law, so she could only say vaguely: "Xu has some misunderstandings, it's okay to solve it, I've already sent someone to find them, and I should come back after talking." β
Lin Yunxiu frowned lightly, "Madam, should I take some things and send them to Mu Xiang's house to accompany the eldest brother?" "Although Mu Xiang only entered the cabinet this year, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and the best relationship between Lin Ruhai and Mu Lin is not too stiff. Today is Mu Lin's mistake, and it doesn't hurt to put on a daoqian posture first.
Mrs. Lin nodded, "You go make a list first, and then show it to me." β
Nima, it's obvious that the Mu family kid bullied my husband, you have to take something to accompany Daoqian, doesn't this tell people that all the mistakes are Lin Ruhai's fault, Mu Lin beat him right! Jia Min was unhappy in his heart, and some of his face was brought out. Mrs. Lin only thought that she was worried about Lin Ruhai, her heart softened, and comforted: "Don't worry, I heard Shuangxi say that Ruhai didn't suffer anything, and the two of them have been separated by Yang Gongzi." β
I care now about whether my husband beat up that kid who is looking for trouble! Jia Min vomited in his heart and nodded, "It's okay if you don't suffer." "Even if you don't suffer, you can't finish this matter today. She was ruthless and made up her mind to teach Mu Lin a lesson.
The three of them were in a hurry, the fan in their hands kept shaking, and Mrs. Lin sent people to the door from time to time to see if her son had come back. Over there, Lin Ruhai told Yang Ze that he wanted to write a letter to Mu Lin and his father separately, and saw his entourage running over with a smile, "Uncle, Mrs. told you to go back quickly." β
Uh, this is what happened just now and has been reported to the parents? Lin Ruhai suddenly felt a little headache, this little report was too fast. He said goodbye to Yang Ze and the others, went out of the peony garden, saddled up the horse, and ran home with a group of followers. Speaking of riding a horse, he really had to thank his wife for being thoughtful, finding someone in advance and accompanying him to practice equestrianism. During this time, I often came out to meet to know that on the main street today, it is easy not to walk the car. Officials all make sedan chairs when they travel, and the ladies who have orders also sit in sedan chairs, and young students like Lin Hai and the young masters of various families travel on horseback. Only some women who have no grade in the family will take the car. For example, when Jia Min returned to the door, he was in the car. If Lin Yun goes out, he has to take a car.
Lin Ruhai originally knew how to ride a horse, and his movement cells were not bad, and he had already ridden like a horse after practicing at home for a few days. During this time, he was accompanied by Xuan Yi and a few people, and even practiced archery. He learned some boxing and foot kung fu from a few people, and he knew how to do it before, and he would also have a few tricks with Xuanyi and them on weekdays, so that he lost more and won less.
The peony garden is not far from the arrival of the Hou Ye, and the horse ran through three streets to the main gate of the Hou Mansion. The big housekeeper in the house had been waiting by the door for a long time, looking at each other, and when he saw Lin Ruhai coming over with a horse, he hurriedly ushered him over, and said in his mouth: "Uncle is back, my wife has been talking many times." β
Zaijian Lin Ruhai turned over and dismounted, threw the reins on the side of the small guy, he looked carefully, and saw that Lin Ruhai had no scars on his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless!" It's good that the uncle is not injured, go and see the lady. β
