Leisure Chapter 73, The Full Moon (1)
When she arrived at Chen's house, Chunwu was busy laying out rice paper and grinding it non-stop. Chen Yun saw that she didn't have anything to do, so she sat and chatted with Chen for a while, and when Chunwu was done, she slowly walked to the side of the flat-headed table, rolled up her cuffs, and asked, "What is Mrs. going to write?" β
Chen thought for a long time before saying: "According to the practice of previous years, the lord only went home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year is different, the lord wants to send Xue Yuan out of the pavilion, you only write this matter in the letter, the rest, it's not a big thing, you just look at it and write it!" β
Chen Yun understood in her heart, thought about the wording for a while, sketched the words with a thin pen, dropped seven lines on the paper, and then waited for the ink to dry before carefully holding it for Chen to read.
Chen's ten lines at a glance, seeing the handwriting is small and beautiful, he already likes it in his heart, and seeing that Chen Yun's letter is written properly and thoughtfully, he can't help but appreciate it even more, so he praised: "Look at your words, you have quite a skill, I think it's because you work very hard in private!" β
Chen Yun said modestly: "Mrs. is ridiculous! β
Chen was noncommittal, but just instructed Chunzhi to put the letter in the box, and then ordered Chunrui and Chunyan to come in and serve and freshen up.
Chen Yun couldn't go away, so she had to stay by and watch, and only when Chen finished grooming did she dare to resign and leave.
Back at the Plum Temple, it was already completely dark, and there was a hazy fog floating in the air, and the last quarter moon was hidden in the fog.
Seeing that she was tired, Ruicai hurriedly went to fetch a basin of well water and waited for her to remove her makeup and wash her face, and Ruiyun was also busy fetching a basin of hot water to serve her to burn her feet and relieve her fatigue.
Chen Yun burned his feet for a while, felt a lot more comfortable, and ordered Ruicai to spread a felt mattress on the Luohan bed under the window, and went up to read "Between the Flowers".
After flipping through more than a dozen words, Chen Yun couldn't stand the sleepiness of the night, so he put down the book in his hand and slowly walked inside.
Hei Tian woke up, and after Chen Yun freshened up, she went to Chen's room as usual to say goodbye. Chen has nothing to say, just fried cold rice, and told Chen Yun over and over some trivial things that can reflect interpersonal relationships, so that she can be vigilant and remember.
Chen Yun listened to the old man and listened to it until Chen felt dry and sent her away from Yimei Courtyard, and then bowed and retired as if she had been amnestied. γβ¦β¦ Love Literature! Β₯ Free to readγ
Out of the yard, Chen Yun walked a shot away, only to see the garden Fang Fei just right, the sill curved red, the eaves teeth flying green, the pink and white lily flowers were born on the wall, flourishing to the extreme, and saw the bushes on both sides of the gravel road with nine bends and eighteen bends, even the berry moss was not willing to be lonely and climbed out, a little bit of invasion to the pebbles, it was very quiet and ancient, and I couldn't help but like it.
Slowly returning to the lodgings, I saw a few little sparrows flying under the porch, chirping around, and the parrots in the cage thought they were noisy, and flew up and down to express their dissatisfaction.
Chen Yun laughed at it, entered the room, first drank tea to quench her thirst, and then re-read the "Flower Collection" that she had seen half of last night.
After reading for a while, only to hear someone whispering outside, Chen Yun was very curious, and hurriedly put the book in his hand on the desk, then straightened his dress and went out to watch.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the cuckoo leading the Jin family over. Chen Yun was overjoyed, with a smile on her face
, while taking the initiative to greet him, he greeted warmly: "Why didn't my mother come to Shen Mansion without saying hello?" I wasn't prepared at all! β
"Hey, what can I prepare?" Jin laughed softly, "Could it be that you don't want to see me come to your house?" β
"How can it? The dog is not poor, the son is not ugly, the daughter is married to the palace, and you are also the mother, which can't be taken off! Chen Yun said and smiled, quickly lifted the soft curtain of green flowers, and led Jin into the room.
Jin went in and sat down, saw that the room was simple and elegant, the furnishings were simple, the inside and outside were separated by a chain of bucket wall mast doors, and there were sunflower banana leaves on the east and west sides of the moon cave window opposite, the lighting, the wind are excellent, on the whole, although there is no gold and jade device, but the blue and white porcelain can be seen everywhere, and the porcelain bottle is inserted with the peony moon season, it is really a red fragrant green jade, the fragrance is faint.
Chen Yun thought that her mother would rarely come here, so she diligently sent Ruiyun to prepare a few plates of pastries, and ordered Ruicai to make a cup of strong green tea, and then personally held it and sent it to Jin's hand, seeing her take it, she hurriedly walked to the corner, opened the lacquered red heart rattan cabinet, took a big pillow from it, and then returned to the couch with a smile, and put it under Jin's waist very intimately.
Seeing that she was so busy, that she was like the emperor, Jin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Let's not be so polite, I'm just stopping by to take a look at you, it's nothing important, don't walk around blindly, and sit down with peace of mind, let's talk!" β
Chen Yun pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly sat on the opposite side, only to see Jin's red face, full of energy, with a single knife bun on his head, sparsely decorated with two silk flowers, wearing a rose-red jacket, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with begonia flowers, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder people say that three points of talent, seven points of decoration, my mother is dressed up with heart today, but it looks much better than in the past!" β
When Jin heard this, he hurriedly sighed and said: "Seeing that I am almost forty years old, not to mention the age, my appearance is also a lot worse, if I always wear these red, green, and green clothes, even if others don't say irresponsible things, I myself feel panicked, if I don't come to see you this time, I am afraid that I will show my poverty and embarrass you, so I don't wear such eye-catching clothes, and I make people laugh in vain!" β
"My mother is so young, she looks less than thirty at most, where does she look like she is in her early thirties?" Chen Yun said flatteringly, seeing that the Jin family shook his head and waved his hand again and again, he hurriedly said: "It just so happens that I have a few new rulers here, and the color is quite suitable for my mother's temperament, otherwise, you can take it back by the way today, whether to keep the tailor in the future, or keep it for gifting, you have your own idea, it is better than putting it in my place, and it will be better to fall into ashes in vain!" β
Jin smiled faintly and said, "This is not in a hurry!" As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yun very carefully, only to see that her hair was combed into a horse bun, a jade hairpin was inserted in her hair, and a crumbling golden phoenix was shaking, the appearance was not much different from the original, but her spirit was reduced, and she wore a peach and embroidered plum blossom placket hanging on her body empty, looking thin, and couldn't help but care: "Why do I see that you are thinner than before?" Even the clothes are bigger! β
Chen Yun looked embarrassed and said, "Mother, don't be too careful,
It's not that I've been having a bad time lately, this old lady and wife have treated me very well, and I can't wait to dig out my heart to me, but I blame myself for not being angry, and when I encounter hot weather, my appetite will deteriorate! β
When Jin heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally he was inexplicably happy, and Baba asked, "You just have a bad appetite, don't you have any side symptoms?" β
"I just don't want to eat!" Chen Yun said sincerely, and when she saw Jin's shoulders collapsed in disappointment, she immediately reacted to what she was suspecting just now, so she blushed and said angrily: "Mother, what do you think is bad, how do you think of it?" β
"Oh, my silly girl, why are you still not good at your brain when you get married?" Jin sighed, pointed his finger at Chen Yun, and then calmed down, and said calmly: "You and Fu'er have been married for three months, although your husband and wife are harmonious, the elders are also kind, and the pregnancy is not in a hurry, but if you can conceive, it is also a good thing to add to the cake, if you old lady knows, she will be as happy as a flower, even your aunt will treat you differently!" β
"This kind of thing, the time, the place, the people are indispensable, it can be called unattainable, where is the moment you want to have?" Chen Yun said with sadness, "What's more, Xianggong has been studying in Jiangning for the past few months, and he won't be able to come back for a month or two!" β
"Hearing you mention Fu'er, I thought that Brother Yan was here, you haven't heard of it yet, he just entered the examination, and now he is a Jinshi!" Jin said with a glow in his eyes, and suddenly showed a little expectation on his face, "Fu'er has also begged for more than ten years of study, and his knowledge is natural, but I don't know when he will be able to come out and earn a fame to add glory to your face!" β
Chen Yun didn't say a word, and was silent for a while before asking: "I haven't heard about the family for a long time, have Brother Yan reconciled with his cousin-in-law?" β
"Not yet, since your cousin-in-law returned to her parents' house, she seems to have eaten a scale and is iron-hearted, and she ignores your second uncle's family. Your second uncle and your second aunt are old-hearted and short-hearted, and they are reluctant to ask for their grandchildren, so they came to the door and begged a few times, but your cousin-in-law not only didn't give them a good look, but also directly poured a basin of cold water on them, and they had to come back in a huff! β
Chen Yun listened to this story, sighed silently, and then asked: "Brother Yan'er ran away from home since his cousin-in-law, and he didn't ask for it in a low voice?" β
"It's strange to say, your cousin-in-law has been away from home for several months, and Brother Yan hasn't visited his father-in-law's house once!" Jin thought about it carefully at the moment, and also felt very puzzled, "However, Brother Yan is knowledgeable, and many things are dumb and eat flat food - I know it in my heart, I'm afraid this is the case, we don't know the details, so don't guess behind your back!" β
Chen Yun nodded yes, and then asked, "How is my grandfather's health recently?" β
"Alas, people say that it rains when it comes to yin and when it rains, and when it comes to sickness, it goes to sickness and death. Your grandfather has been sick for more than half a year, and he hasn't seen any improvement, and he is dizzy in the sky, and even when he talks to people, he can't even mumble a sentence, I see that it is getting weaker! β
Kim told the truth.
Chen Yun heard this and said worriedly: "No."
Have you been taking medicine? β
"It's one thing to take medicine, it's another thing if it doesn't work!" Jin sighed and said, "It's not that you don't know what the truth is in the mouth of those You Fang doctors outside?" It's just listening to the words of the patient's family, adding fuel and vinegar to intimidate people, and then prescribing a prescription in a daze, and letting you take the medicine according to the prescription. After taking a few doses, it didn't work in the end, although there was no major problem in the body, but the disease was delayed, and then I waited to find a serious doctor to diagnose and treat, and I had to ask for the fare, the horse fee, the consultation fee, and the medicine money, which one could please move? β
Chen Yun knew that this was the truth, so she had to sigh, and saw the sun coming up outside the window, so she asked calmly: "Seeing that it is almost noon, it is rare for my mother to come here, do you want me to go to Mrs. Yuming and stay with my mother for a few days?" β
Jin hurriedly refused: "Don't bother, I came to see you today, and now I see you Da'an, I am very satisfied, I don't have anything else to think about now, I just want to hurry up and get medicine for your grandfather, and then go back to the village quickly!" As he spoke, he stood up.
Chen Yun saw that she was leaving, so she hurriedly stopped and said, "Mother, don't talk to me, it's so rare for you to come here, how can I be embarrassed to let you go back empty-handed?" Sensei tell me what outsiders gossip, this phoenix perched in the plane tree, its own idlers talk about the length of the short, they don't feel tired, just chew the root of the tongue in private, anyway, I can't hear a word! β
When Jin heard this, he was satisfied, thinking that Chen Yun finally understood his difficulties as a widow, and couldn't help but stop.
Chen Yun smiled on his face, untied the sachet tied around his waist three times and divided by two, and then stuffed it into Jin's hand, and said: "This is my monthly money for two months, a total of four taels and four dollars, although it is not much, but it is my heart, my mother should not push it around, just when I am my daughter's filial piety, wait a minute, take those few rulers back and forth!" β
Jin looked at Chen Yun with emotion, and was silent for a long time, but nodded heavily.
