"This rebel...... This rebel! It's ridiculous! I'm......"

In Jia's mother's house, Jia Zheng, who had just learned about the previous night from Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, was angry and furious.

"What to do? It's not a glorious thing, you want to shout at the Hefu to know? Jia Muton, who was sitting at the top, said with a cane, "I'm worried that you're a father who can't hold your breath, so I'll tell you today." If thou had known yesterday, thou wouldnst have eaten thy son raw. ”

"Mother......" Seeing that the old lady's tone was dissatisfied, Jia Zheng was full of anger, and he didn't dare to attack again.

"You, you are a father, you are not much better, and you still have the face to scold your son for being ridiculous...... "Mother Jia did not give up," ...... A lot of old people, a few children under their knees, and even grandchildren, and the year before last, they actually begged for a little wife, isn't it ridiculous? ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he knew that the old lady was in a bad mood and was angry with him.

At the beginning, it was his wife's idea, and the old lady also knew it, but now she took it out to say something, isn't it anger?

He looked embarrassed, but Mrs. Wang pursed her lips.

It's not that it's a joke, but that I think this scene is funny.

Only she knew that she took the initiative to take a concubine for Jia Zheng at that time, because of Baoyu's proposition.

At present, the old lady actually blames her son for this matter and protects her precious grandson, which makes her laugh.

"That's it, I don't bother to say that you ......" After counting a few words from her son, Jia's mother waved her hand and said, "You know, I called you over today and told you about this matter, not for you to teach your son a lesson, I have already taught you a lesson, and I have beaten a lot of crutches......"

Speaking of this, she paused and looked at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng didn't think so, but he had to nod and say, "Mother said yes." ”

Jia Mu continued, "...... I'll tell you about it, but I'll tell you in vain, so that you can have a ...... In the past two days, I have pondered, that evil obstacle is also destined to do this. When he was one year old, he caught the fat powder hairpin ring, from childhood to adulthood, he was good with his sisters and sisters, and often said, "Daughters are flesh and bones made of water, and men are flesh and bones made of mud", and they have to taste the rouge on people's mouths at every turn, and they were fourteen years old the year before last, and they have tasted mandarin ducks. ”

“…… In short, that evil obstacle is different from other children, and it came over like this when he was a child, and now that such a thing has happened, we as elders don't have to make too much fuss and hate it...... For the sake of today, it is ...... to ask the emperor for marriage as soon as possible."

……

In the Rong Mansion, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were talking, and on the side of the Jade Lion Hutong, Jia Wei had come to the courtyard rented by Xiangling's master and servant.

The two courtyard doors were half open, and Jia Wei stopped and looked in.

There were three people in the courtyard, one squatting in front of the big wooden basin to wash clothes, and the two were standing and talking, all on the edge of the well platform.

The body of the laundry was thin and weak, and he recognized it as Zhen'er, and there were two people standing, one was Xiangling, and the other was a strange middle-aged woman.

Jia Wei's gaze stayed on Xiangling, two years have passed, it is still the old good look, but it is a little clear, but the dress is very different from the past, a hair is haphazardly pulled, it is cold, only a jacket is worn, and a cotton skirt is tied diagonally underneath, all over the body, there is no jewelry, neat and neat, but in the end it is shabby.

She was talking to the middle-aged woman, although the voice was not loud, but the courtyard was small and quiet, and Jia Wei could hear it clearly when she stood outside.

I only heard the two of them talk about some neighborhood things first, and then Xiangling changed the topic and said, "Mother Song, what did you ask you to do before?" ”

"I'm still paying attention, but don't worry, Zhen'er, this girl, although she is a little thinner, is not bad looking, and she will always find a good ......," the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

As she was talking, Zhen'er dropped the laundry, got up and said, "Mother Song, don't listen to my aunt and grandmother, I don't want to find anyone, I just want to accompany my aunt and grandmother......"

"Zhen'er," Xiangling turned around and glared at her, "It used to be just like that, but now how can you say this, you will be seventeen in the New Year, you are a big girl, if I keep you, I will not talk about the major events in your life, and you will be gossiped about by the neighbors." After that, he said to the middle-aged woman, "Mother Song, you will continue to help pay attention, if there is a good family, the matchmaker's money will not be short of you." ”

"Little lady, you master and servant are really sisters, and they both think about each other, which is very rare." The middle-aged woman said with emotion, "According to me, at the age of Miss Zhen'er, it's time to find a home, but don't miss it for life, little lady, you are only in your early twenties, and you are a first-class appearance, but you don't have the slightest intention of re-eating, and the neighbors feel sorry for you......"

As soon as Xiangling heard this, she hurriedly interrupted, "Mother Song, I still have to wash the pulp, so I won't talk more with you......" As she spoke, she squatted in front of another large wooden basin next to Zhen'er and began to rub her clothes.

"You, every time you mention this, that's what it looks like!" The middle-aged woman smiled and shook her head, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

At this turn, her eyes collided with Jia Wei.

Deng Shi paused, stunned on the spot.

The other party is young, dressed in fine clothes, handsome and elegant, he looks like the son of a rich and noble family, but he has a good bearing, and he faintly has the prestige of being an official, not to mention the Jade Lion Hutong, which is the entire Dongcheng, I am afraid that I can't find a few such outstanding characters.

How could such a character come to such a place?

The middle-aged woman wondered.

At this time, Xiangling and Zhen'er noticed something strange behind them, and turned around at the same time.

At first, she was completely stunned, and then both of them stood up involuntarily, Xiangling even forgot to put down the laundry, and after a while, with a snap, she was startled, but the clothes in her hand slipped off and fell into the wooden basin.

In a trance, Jia Wei walked in front of her from outside the hospital.

"Second master......" Xiangling opened her mouth and called softly.

This title is undoubtedly unfamiliar, it has been two years, but it is affectionate, and all the thoughts in the past two years have been in it.

Jia Wei nodded, didn't speak, stretched out his hand, picked up her hand and looked at it, the palm that used to be tender and white is now much rougher, and the palm is covered with calluses.

It wouldn't be long before the palms of those hands would be as white as ever, but at this moment, the rough and calloused appearance had already been reflected in his mind.

It's been an unusual two years.

"Little lady, you have a guest at home, I'll go first." At this time, the middle-aged woman said hello crampedly and hurried out of the courtyard.

She was about to leave, but now there is such a character again, and there is such a scene with Xiangling, how dare she stay longer?

Not to mention that she walked all the way, guessing all the way.

In the courtyard, Jia Wei had already picked up Xiangling by the waist and went straight inside.

Passing through the front yard hall, through the hall, through the inner courtyard, stepping on the steps, into the bedroom, Zhen'er followed at a loss, and finally stopped on the corridor.

Soon, the bed tent in the bedroom shook, and the sound of coquettish cries was very loud, and Zhen'er could hear it from a few feet away.

Once or twice...... After more than half an hour, Jia Wei came out of the bedroom, waved his hand with Zhen'er who was on the porch, and went down the steps.

Along the way, Jia Wei didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to ask anything, just waiting to go back and ask her aunt.

Returned to the inner courtyard, waited outside the bedroom for nearly two quarters of an hour, there was no sound in it, as if she had fallen asleep, relying on the love of her aunt and grandmother for the past two years, Zhen'er was not worried about blame, no longer waiting, and squeaked open the door.

Looking at it, my aunt and grandmother were really asleep, her hair was pouring down, her cheeks were red, she stepped forward lightly, tucked the quilt, inadvertently, I don't know where it touched, it was cold, wet, I couldn't help but exclaim, I lowered my head and took a closer look, there was a big wet piece on the sheet, I understood, and I quietly blushed.

"Zhen'er, why are you here?"

She exclaimed, but it woke up Xiangling, opened her eyes, and saw Zhen'er standing under the kang, and couldn't help asking.

asked twice, but Zhen'er didn't realize it, Xiangling knew something was wrong, stood up, followed her gaze, and looked down, and suddenly her face was hot with shame.

She has been absent for a long time, and she has met the person she loves, and she is full of water, but who knows that she has wet this large sheet of sheets.

Fortunately, it was Zhen'er who saw it, if any lady in the neighborhood broke in recklessly, she didn't know what she was going to be embarrassed to be when she saw this scene.

Hurriedly covered the wet marks with the quilt, and said to Zhen'er, "You go out first, and I'll get up." ”

Zhen'er had also come back to her senses and hurried out of the house.

After a while, Xiangling stepped out of the bedroom, and Zhen'er, who was waiting on the porch, greeted her, and couldn't wait to ask, "Grandma, the second master came here this time, obviously changed his mind, did he say how to settle his aunt and grandmother in the future?" Do you want to go back to the house, or let your aunt and grandmother do the outer room? ”

"He said, let me stay here for the time being, and I will definitely welcome him back to the house in the future."

"Grandma, you've finally come out."

"Zhen'er, the second master also mentioned you, he said that you don't need to be seen by the neighbors, and he will point out a good family affair for you after a while."

"Auntie......

……

Outside the alley, Jia Wei boarded the carriage and returned to the morning newspaper office.

In the afternoon, several vehicles loaded with belongings stopped at the mouth of Yushi Hutong, and under the leadership of Li Yun, a large group of people moved the belongings into Xiangling's house in an endless stream.

An hour later, the vehicle left, and Xiangling's house was completely renewed, with everything to eat and wear, and Xiangling also had a stack of five thousand taels of silver tickets.

The days have never been the same.
