Chapter 107: Leisurely
When it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival, several girls close to Jia Min were busy making five-poison purses, sachets, tie strings, and tie colorful threads. Several girls around her are all ingenious, making dozens of large and small purses and sachets, the smallest is only the size of a finger, and can only be embroidered with a small flower, and then stuffed with dried flowers, decorated with a small vein, tied on a handkerchief, placket, sweat towel, extremely cute.
Jia Min looked interesting, put down the pen in his hand, and also came over to twist it up and take a closer look, "Who made this, such a delicate thing." ”
Cuizhu pushed Zhuqing, "This is what she is playing, grandma looks good?" ”
"Hmm." Jia Min nodded, and couldn't help but pick up a few more and put them in the palm of her hand to enjoy the fun, "It's hard for her, so much so that she has embroidered all the flowers of the twelfth month." ”
Zhu Qing saw that Jia Min liked it, and begged with a smile: "If grandma is free, it's good to help us draw a few tricks, no one else is as novel and chic and beautiful as grandma." ”
Jia Min also thought it was funny, and nodded his head one by one, "Okay." He asked people to turn out all kinds of painting tools and paints, spread out a piece of paper, chose the smallest pen, thought about it, and then began to sketch. She was also serious this time, and actually painted all the flowers and plants she could think of, and she drew seven or eight pieces of paper. When I couldn't think of the flowers I knew anymore, I stopped writing. Fu unfolded it and looked at it, and the inspiration moved, and began to add all kinds of butterflies and grass insects, and added several in a row, and felt that it was not enjoyable, thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival, the purse was to be embroidered with five poison patterns, and simply drew the five poisons all over, she used some of the style of comic cartoons in her previous life, and the five poisons in different forms of the pen looked cute and cute.
"Grandma's drawings are so cute, it seems stupid that we made them." Several girls came up, and they stomped and sighed, regretting: "Why didn't you think about asking grandma to draw a few strokes." It's good now, I did all this in vain. ”
Jia Min was also a little tired, put down the pen, rubbed his wrist and said with a smile: "How can you do it for nothing, it's just right to give it away and reward people." ”
Mo Ju nodded: "Yes, if you use these paintings painted by grandma, we will be reluctant to give them away." As he spoke, he picked it up and looked at it again, and couldn't wait to twist the needle and thread it.
Jia Min hurriedly said, "Wait." What's this busy, wait for me to color, you guys will get it. After saying that, she smiled to herself again, "Forget it, you can get it yourself." ”
As if they had won a treasure, a few girls took a few patterns aside and muttered quietly. One said, "I'll embroider this." ”
Another said, "I'll pick this, this." This ...... "a few people have a few points, and if you count them, everyone has to do more than twenty."
Jia Min shook his head and smiled, "Are you done?" ”
"Do it slowly." Several people said in unison.
While she was talking and laughing, Mama Yu came in with a smile on her face. "Grandma, the rice has been soaked, is it ready to wrap now?"
Jia Min had a sudden thought. I want to make a few brown seeds to eat by myself. As soon as she said this, Mama Yu didn't stop her, and went to the kitchen. Someone selected glutinous rice and soaked it. After soaking for two days in a row, it can be used, and Mama Yu came to report Jia Min.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the master and servant were all smiling, and she couldn't help asking, "What kind of joke is this, let grandma be happy like this, and tell me about it." ”
"It's nothing, but I drew some tricks with a few of them, and they just grabbed a mess, which is weird and interesting." Jia Min said with a smile.
When Mama Yu heard this, she said, "Grandma's painting must be very novel and chic, bring it to me and take a look." ”
Mo Ju took out her own one and handed it to Mama Yu, she unfolded it and took a look, there were eight or nine patterns on this piece of paper, all kinds of folded branch flowers, which she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but love it very much, "I also make two for grandma to play." ”
Jia Min shook his head and sighed, "Let's stop first, let's hug the brown man, and the uncle will come back in the evening and invite him to taste it." ”
She spoke, several people received their things, and moved a large round table, which was supported in the main hall, and Mama Yu had already gone out, and asked the little girl to send a letter to the people in the small kitchen, asking them to send soaked rice, palm leaves, dates, dates and other things.
Jia Min doesn't like to eat that kind of stuff with a lot of things, she only likes to eat stuffed with dates, and Lin Ruhai likes to eat meat brown, and the small kitchen also sent a bowl of braised pork and chicken for them to use.
When Jia Min was at home, he had wrapped the brown seeds, and knew that they should wrap them tightly, and the rice should be pressed more solidly, so that the brown seeds would taste good. While fiddling with herself, she instructed the girls, "Cuizhu, your rice is more compact, and it is more decorated." ”
"Mei Qing, tie it tighter."
laughed at Mo Ju again, "What is the shape of this you wrapped." ”
A room full of people, giggling and laughing, also ruined a pot of rice, and there was nothing clean on everyone's body, Mo Ju and a few people hurriedly washed their hands, and waited for Jia Min to clean her hands, and served her to go into the room to change clothes.
The rest of the people called the girls outside to come in and clean up the house, leaving Mama Yu to watch, and they all went back to their own houses to change their clothes. When Mo Ju and the two came out, everyone was clean, and Mo Ju glanced at them, "You guys are fast." After speaking, he also avoided going back to the house with Cuizhu.
Jia Min also said: "I don't know if it can be steamed at noon?" ”
Mama Yu smiled: "My grandma, where is it so fast, why do you have to cook it for an hour." ”
"Hey, it looks like you can't eat at noon, so let's do it at night." Jia Min really has some regrets.
Mama Yu saw that the girls who were mopping the ground had gone out, and whispered: "Grandma, my wife has been to Huangjue Temple many times, why haven't you gone once?" Just like Mrs. Lin swore not to step into the Jia family, Jia Min also learned from her, and she refused to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense. Mama Yu felt that since everyone said that the Bodhisattva of Huangjue Temple was very effective, then follow Mrs. too many times, maybe grandma will have good news.
Jia Min laughed twice, "It's all fate, where can you burn two pillars of incense." If the Bodhisattva is really so effective, can there still be a woman in this world? "Who goes to incense is not looking forward to giving birth to a son, and the more births the better. Besides, the other person's wife went to ask for a son for herself, and she went with her, and she had to complain.
"Grandma, you can't say this, you can offend the Bodhisattva." Mama Yu hurriedly persuaded.
Jia Minqi said: "Buddhism is not about compassion. Purify all sentient beings? As long as you have the heart to the Buddha, even if you are full of sins, you can go on, even if you are the demon king of the world, you have the heart of the Buddha, and you will leave him a way to live. Even if I am so generous, I will definitely not blame me for telling the truth. ”
"Grandma......" Mama Yu accentuated her tone slightly.
Jia Min smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." ”
"The next time your wife goes to Huangjue Temple, you can go with her once and burn two pillars of incense. You know, sincerity is spirit. Mama Yu is really anxious about Jia Min, it can be seen that her girls are not at ease at all, even the uncle is not serious, but the wife and their subordinates are in a hurry.
At that time, Jia Min wanted to spit out, "The emperor is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry to die of the eunuch." But these words were more serious than what he had just said about the Bodhisattva, and he swallowed the words again when they came to his mouth.
"Grandma, Sister-in-law Wu sent someone to ask, what does Grandma want to use at noon?" Mei Qing picked up the curtain and came in. The crisp voice also drifted in with her.
"It's a hot day today, so at noon, I use some simple ones, just make a sesame sauce noodle, and then mix four side dishes at will. Stir-fry two. Jia Min tilted his head and thought about it, the weather was hot, and he was impatient to use something else, just refreshing and refreshing.
The small kitchen has long been replaced by its own people. The housekeeper is the cook sister-in-law Wu who married the Jia family, and her skills are excellent, and she has been following her own man in Zhuangzi before. I only recently returned to the house. Jia Min didn't bother to fight against Mrs. Lin, so he said directly, I sent these people's monthly rules or something, I sent them myself, and I didn't need to use them in the house. Hehe, I don't know what Mrs. Lin thinks, she actually agreed. It really made Jia Min unbelievable, she was so stupid.
Sure enough, this small kitchen is replaced by his own people, which is much easier to use, and occasionally Lin Ruhai's hands are itchy, and he goes to the small kitchen to show off his skills, and no one goes to Mrs. Lin to complain anymore. And what you want to eat, you can also order it at will, occasionally the cook will not do it, or Lin Ruhai will write down the recipe and hand it to the small kitchen for experimentation, or when he has time, he will demonstrate it in person. All in all, Jia Min's two months are the most comfortable days to eat since ancient times. Didn't you see that her chin is a little round, her waist is thicker, especially on her chest, after more than two years of careful maintenance, she has seen her demeanor for the first time.
"Mix some shredded chicken, huh?" Mei Qing's eyes lit up, and after the guidance of the uncle, Sister-in-law Wu mixed out the shredded chicken was slightly spicy and refreshing, and ate a special killing mouth with clear porridge.
Jia Min was happy and nodded briskly, "Yes." By the way, he also said to the rest of the girls: "If any of you want to eat, tell them together, and let her tell Sister-in-law Wu to go." ”
"Hey." Several girls have different personalities, and their tastes are also very different, they love sweet, sour, sour and spicy, and so on, the strangest thing is Mo Ju, this girl likes bitter things, the bitter gourd omelette, when she uses it alone, the bitter gourd should be put more, and others are eggs.
When it was noon, Lin Ruhai came back, he was often like this during this time, he studied with Old Man Yuan in the morning, Xiao Qi had other things to do in the afternoon, and Old Man Yuan was often called into the palace by Emperor Qixiang, so in the afternoon, Lin Ruhai was fine, except for gathering with Yang Ze and a few people, he would basically go home honestly.
"It's so hot today." Lin Ruhai came in with a fan shaken vigorously, his face was sweaty, and before he could sit down, he first picked up Jia Min's cup and drank the residual tea.
Jia Min didn't hold it, and complained to him: "What's the hurry, the tea is cold." ”
Lin Ruhai undressed and said: "On a hot day, I came back against the sun, sweating all over, and I was thirsty to death." Again, who can eat hot tea now. ”
"I asked someone to boil mung bean water, and soak it in the well, if you want to drink it cold, wouldn't it be better to use it." Jia Min glanced at him, and shouted to the girl, "Go and get the mung bean soup." As soon as Lin Ruhai came in just now, several girls went out consciously, either asking someone to fetch water, or ordering others, none of them were in the house.
"Hey." Cuizhu answered outside the curtain and left quickly.
Lin Ruhai went over, kissed Jia Min the face, and made a loud voice, "Wife, you are so good." ”
"Go, go, the smell of sweat." Jia Min wiped her face and pushed her husband away, "Quickly change your clothes and wash with water." ”
Lin Ruhai muttered: "What kind of sweat smells, this is called manly smell." ”
"Get out." Jia Min shook his fan and glanced at him.
When Mama Yu came back from Lin Ruhai, she automatically and consciously went to sit under the porch outside, wrapped embroidery threads in her hands, and chatted with several daughters-in-law who were waiting under the porch.
Qu came over mysteriously and gossiped in a low voice: "You said that our wife went to Huangjue Temple eight times a month, and she refused to take our grandmother with her." What the hell is she like? ”
"I think my wife wants to have another one." A daughter-in-law who was very neatly cleaned up was helping Mama Yu divide the line, raised her head when she heard the words, and joked softly, "I heard what we said, in the past two months, the master has spent most of his time in the main courtyard." ”
Qu hurriedly said: "That was before, and recently the master often went to his aunt's room." I only pity the two girls, Wanbi and Wanqing, who are young, and have served the master for a few years. Now they are still lying on the kang and can't get up, and the old man is afraid that he has forgotten about them. ”
"It's just two girls, and now the girls in the wife's room are red and willow green, fresh and fresh, where can the master remember them." A slightly dark-skinned daughter-in-law pouted, "She was favored by those two girls before, and she was very proud." Wait for idlers to ignore it. Right now...... Tsk, I happened to go to Wanbi's house the day before yesterday and saw her once, with a yellow face. The whole person is so thin that he can't even breathe when he speaks, and I'm afraid that I can't do it. ”
"I really didn't see it, my wife's heart is ruthless enough. At the beginning, these two girls were put in the study by her master. "Although the Qu family is also a newcomer, it hasn't been long since the Hou Mansion is here. Inquire more.
Mama Yu was originally listening with a smile, but when she said this, she had to reprimand them with a tiger face: "Save it, our grandmother hates people with broken mouths the most, it's easy to come in, and if you are developed again, your face for the rest of your life will be gone." ”
With her heavy face, several daughters-in-law were stunned, and stood up solemnly, "What my mother taught me is that we were wrong." ”
"Okay, just remember, don't do it again next time." Mama Yu smiled at this time, "Sit down." ”
"Come in with water, uncle wants to bathe." Mo Ju came out of the curtain, and when she saw the group under the corridor, she couldn't help but smile: "Sisters-in-law, bring some water in." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Several people hurriedly waved their hands, and when they saw Mo Jufu going in again, they hurriedly went to work.
Lin Ruhai was disgusted by his wife, thinking that he wouldn't go out in the afternoon, so he just took a shower first and had a refreshing lunch.
The water was carried in, and the girls habitually went out, leaving only Jia Min in the house, and they all avoided under the porch. Seeing this, Mama Yu called these daughters-in-law and went to the back building.
After taking a bath, eating sesame noodles, and finally drinking a bowl of cold mung bean soup, Lin Ruhai wiped his mouth and exclaimed. Jia Min has always chewed and swallowed slowly when eating, and only used more than half of a bowl of noodles, seeing that Lin Ruhai was going to drink mung bean soup again, he hurriedly pressed his hand, "Okay, it's not dog days, I used it too much carefully, and my stomach hurts." ”
"Okay." Lin Ruhai obediently responded, brought tea over to rinse his mouth, and tilted his body back at will, "Great, I can sleep at noon." Minghui, you don't know, Old Man Yuan is troublesome, saying that a gentleman can't sleep day and night. Emma, it's too unkind to not let you sleep in the hot summer. ”
Jia Min ignored him, ate by himself, and told the girl, "Clean it up." "When they eat as husband and wife, they never advocate waste, nor do they give their leftovers to their subordinates. Generally, before the meal, the excess amount is divided and let the girls take it out for their own use.
After lunch, stopped for two quarters of an hour, and then drank flower tea, Jia Min ignored her husband, went to the inner room, cleaned up the bed, and lay down. Seeing this, Lin Ruhai also leaned over and leaned on Jia Min, "Wife, you're angry with me again." ”
"I don't have the strength to be angry with you, if you want to sleep, sleep honestly, otherwise you will study." During this time, Mrs. Lin always made up for Lin Hou's body, and also gave her son a share without discrimination, making Lin Ruhai extremely energetic, and pestering her almost every day. Recently, she refused to rest well at noon, because she ignored him just now.
Lin Ruhai also knew that he had gone too far recently, so he smirked twice, hugged his wife, and honestly closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Hei Tian slept, the husband and wife slept until the beginning of Shen Shichu before getting up, washing and changing clothes, and then sitting down in the study, both of them felt refreshed, and Lin Ruhai even felt that today's Bagu Wen was exceptionally smooth.
Jia Min took the novel of the talented and beautiful woman brought back by Lin Ruhai a few days ago, sat there and read it while spitting, enjoying herself, and exchanged opinions with her husband from time to time, "This girl is so stupid!" ”
"Hey, you say, you know such a wicked mother-in-law, what does she want from that man, she has to marry in to find abuse?"
"Emma, this princess is so crippled, she actually recognized the lover of the colt into the house, and was moved by the relationship between the two, isn't she a brain piercing?"
Lin Ruhai was told by her that she couldn't write the article anymore, so she simply put the pen down, "Dear, are you seducing me to be lazy?" ”
"Huh." Jia Min glanced sideways at her husband, "Where's your concentration?" You should learn from our Taizu, study in the city, and be undisturbed. ”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong again." Lin Ruhai picked up the pen painfully, having a wife who can come up with a big reason to press you at any time is really the biggest tragedy in life.
In the study, the husband and wife do their own work, and occasionally fight, which is also extremely warm. Cuizhu and a few people, changing tea and delivering water, all came in quietly and went out gently, and no one dared to disturb the two.
"Grandma, grandma, grandma......" Wang Anjia trotted all the way into Songfeng Courtyard, didn't care about wiping the sweat off his face, and asked Mo Ju, who was guarding outside, "Is grandma there?" ”
"Sister-in-law Wang, what's wrong? Didn't you wait for your wife to enter the incense? Mo Ju saw that Wang Anjia's face was oily, and beads of sweat the size of beans were flowing down his face, and he didn't rush to wipe it, thinking that something had happened to Mrs. Lin, so he quickly turned around and entered the study, and said to Lin Ruhai and Jia Minyi.
The husband and wife glanced at each other, their faces were a little solemn, and Lin Ruhai said, "Go and call her in." ”
"Yes." Mo Ju went to call Wang An's family in, and said to her again: "Uncle is also here, sister-in-law tidy up." "This look is not out of order. As he spoke, he handed over his handkerchief.
Wang Anjia took the handkerchief with great gratitude, wiped his head and face, straightened his clothes, and followed Mo Ju in.
"But what's wrong with my wife? Not feeling well? The first thing Jia Min could think of was heat stroke. On a hot day, I have to rush to Huangjue Temple to make incense, and I have to come back against the sun, and it is not surprising that I really want to suffer from heat stroke.
"No, Mrs., she ......" Wang Anjia's face was very strange, "I bought a prostitute, brought it into the house, and asked the imperial doctor to come over the house for treatment." "To be honest, for Mrs. Lin's move, Wang An's family feels inappropriate as a subordinate. Even if the girl's background is pitiful, she has been sold into the Qinglou for a while, that is, a clear prostitute, brought into the mansion in a grand manner, and asked the imperial doctor to come to see the doctor, isn't this death. Aren't you afraid that the imperial doctor will sue the saint? Emma, don't say it's a doctor, it's a famous doctor, you ask, who wants to treat a prostitute, is it a shame to say it?
Lin Ruhai has spent more time walking outside, and he has learned a lot about some unspoken rules in ancient times. As soon as he heard that Mrs. Lin had bought a prostitute and brought it back to the house, he stood up and frowned, "What does she want to do?" In addition to embarrassing his wife, using means to seduce him cheaply, plus playing a little trick from time to time to beat her aunt, can she think of something else. Nima, learn more about the true situation of the ancient Houmen family, can you die?
Jia Min secretly pulled her husband's clothes and signaled him to calm down, some words could not be said in front of everyone. "Let's go over and have a look. Did the people who invited the Imperial Doctor go? ”
"No, we don't dare to call the shots, so we'll go back and forth to grandma." Wang Anjia bowed his head and said. Just on the street, after saving the prostitute, it was very fanfare, and many people saw that the prostitute was injured, and they all knew that it was the lady of the Jing'an Hou Mansion who ransomed her body. At this time, the Lin family invited the imperial doctor to come over, and fools knew who this was for. Emma, how can you do such a tricky thing.
Because the husband and wife are in their own house, they are dressed very homely, and their clothes are light and transparent, so it is not suitable to go out. Jia Min called Wang Anjia to stand a little station, went back to the main room with her husband, hurriedly changed her clothes, and led people to the main courtyard.
In the main room, on the soft couch where Mrs. Lin often sits, there is now a delicate girl, eighteen or nine years old, looking at the clear and delicate, only on the forehead and neck, there are scars, it can be seen that it should be left by death. (To be continued......)
