Sima Ji fell on the soft couch, and the doctor was checking his pulse.

The tall and thin young man frowned, his lips pursed, and his cheeks were pale and bloodless.

"It's not a big deal, but the little grandfather is in poor health, so don't do such a thing day and night."

The old doctor was invited by Lord Zhizhou, and he is famous for his medical skills.

"I'll give you a prescription, you go and get the medicine and decoction it, let the little grandfather take it, and it will be effective after three servings. But you still need more maintenance in the future, and you can't waste your body because you are young. ”

The old doctor was personally sent out by Su Wu, and Wei Jin entered the door and sat down next to the soft couch. Reached out and touched Sima Ji's hand, there was no temperature at all.

Suddenly she felt a little like crying, and she couldn't care about other people's eyes, buried her face in Sima Ji's palm, and shed tears silently.

Su Wu sent the doctor back, and just as he was about to enter the room, he saw Wei Jin sitting in front of the couch, burying his head and shrugging his shoulders, while the little grandfather opened his eyes weakly and looked at her with distress.

Su Wu withdrew, let people guard the door and not let people in, jumped up the tree himself, and drank a little wine with a cold wind.

After drinking the medicine, Sima Ji gained some energy and sat up to chat with Wei Jin.

"I plan to go to Ganzhou after the New Year."

"What?" The hand that was holding the vegetables for Sima Ji paused, and Wei Jin looked at him curiously, "Can you leave Zhangzhou casually?" ”

"Your Majesty sent his Fourth Emperor Uncle to Zhangzhou, nominally to assist me, but in fact we all know what it means. But the good thing is that I won't be confined to Zhangzhou anymore. I wrote to His Majesty, saying that I wanted to learn the Confucian culture of the Central Plains, especially from Uncle Wei. ”

Everyone knows that he was rescued in Ganzhou, and His Majesty also understands his subtext, as long as Sima Ji doesn't go against the court, even if he wants to marry a peasant girl as a wife, it's no problem, and even he is quite happy to see it.

"I don't really want to eat it." Sima Ji had no appetite, and looked at this table of dishes, and his stomach was churning.

Wei Jin paused: "If you don't eat it, you still have to drink medicine." Well, I'll make you some soup cakes, and if you have a little soup, you can drink some soup. ”

Sima Ji nodded, and insisted on following her to the stove room.

The other side of the stove room was in chaos. Before the two of them passed, they set up a warm shed outside.

The cook, Aunt Jiao, stood aside, cramped and frightened, and obeyed the order.

Let Aunt Jiao chop some meat and fry a meat cheek. The flour is kneaded relatively dry, the vegetable juice is wrenched in, and the noodles of the three colors are all kneaded into the size of small fish larvae. The old soup stewed with meat bones and chicken bones is scooped into a small half pot, boiled and poured into the noodles and fish, and when it floats, the vegetables are blanched, seasoned, and finally poured a spoonful of meat to live.

It's simple, but it's hot, the colors are bright and bright, and you can make people have a good appetite at first glance.

A small jar was filled in a clay pot, and the rest was shared with Su Wu and them.

"Taste it, it tastes good."

The spoon scooped a noodle fish into the mouth, the noodles are chewy and chewy, and they are not sticky, and then take a sip of the soup, which has a slight sour and spicy taste, stimulating the appetite.

He was only allowed to eat half a can and was not allowed to eat again.

"It's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much pasta in one go, and it's not easy for you to lose your stomach these days, so try to eat less and eat more often."

After taking care of Sima Ji and rinsing his mouth, the two changed places and sat down to chat.

"I just heard that the Wei family's grandmother and grandmother recruited you to meet her?" Sima Ji twisted the chess pieces and decided, "If you don't go, she will be angry." ”

"It's better to be angry when you're angry." Wei Jin was not at ease at all, "I respect the elderly, but it doesn't mean that I have to live according to other people's requirements." The Wei family refuses to admit that I am nothing, the world is so big, and not only the people of the Wei family can have the surname Wei, nor are the only people of the Wei family able to live. ”

Looking at Wei Jin's indifferent expression, Sima Ji suddenly felt unflustered.

"Well, no matter how bad it is, you can still come to Zhangzhou, and I will protect you."

"yes, yes, and you're a big backer."

Wei Jin smiled sweetly: "Now, you have lost, the big backer." It's time to take medicine and rest, and I'll make you something to eat in the evening. ”

Sima Ji also showed a simple smile of the same style, and obediently went back to the room to rest after taking the medicine.

"Third Miss, the people of the Wei family are still waiting in the front hall."

Wei Jin slowly drank the water in the cup and sat for a while before getting up and going out.

Along the way, the Wei family kept telling her how to face her grandmother, but Wei Jin didn't bother to give a look, and she didn't bother to say a word.

After arriving, the maid who was in charge of attracting guests came out to say that Grandma and Grandma had rested, and asked Wei Jin to wait in the courtyard for a while.

She hooked the corners of her mouth, sneered, and turned to leave.

"Three girls, please think twice."

Wei Jin's steps did not stop, and she walked directly to the door, and several maids moved sideways to stop her.

"What, you're going to force me to do it?"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Jin directly kicked the person standing in front, and a circle of guards immediately appeared around him. Wei Jin's eyes were cold, and the bone whistle sounded, and several black-clothed people jumped in from outside the wall, directly confronting each other with swords.

"Do you want to fight?" As soon as Wei Jin turned around, the horsewhip was already in his hand at some point, and he raised it directly, with a click, and the vase placed on the edge of the verandah fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, "Don't get out of the way, I don't know where the next whip will be." ”

"What are you guys messing about?"

An old and indifferent voice sounded. Wei Jin looked up, and an old lady who was not dressed luxuriously, and there was still some fierce color between her eyebrows, standing at the door of the room with a cane and a big man.

"The Wei family's hospitality is really disgusting from top to bottom."

The old lady's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at the maid who was trembling to the side. The maid finally couldn't hold on under the old lady's gaze, and knelt on the ground, explaining in a trembling voice.

"The third lady is here, the maid said that the old lady is resting, please wait a while."

"Really? Didn't I wait standing in the yard? ”

The maid's face was pale, and beads of sweat couldn't stop rolling down in such a cold weather.

"The little girl's family, what are you doing shouting and killing all day long." The old lady turned and walked inside, "Come in, it's cold outside." ”

Wei Jin put away the whip, stood in place and thought for a moment, then walked into the house with his feet up. When I passed by the maid, I didn't give her a trace of the corner of my eye.

The room burned charcoal, warm and dry. For Wei Jin, the temperature was a little high, which made her slightly warm.

The old lady was silent, and she was silent, and the two sat opposite each other without saying a word.

It's not that she doesn't know how to be polite, she is really tired of these nobles, and she knows how to put on a shelf if she doesn't produce anything. I used to think that the Wei family was good, but now it seems that the Wei family is like this, and the other families are probably even more uncomfortable. In contrast, although those families in Zhangzhou are not as deep as those in the north, they are more vivid and easier to deal with.

If you use a comparison, that is, the people of the Northland are like old men who are about to die, and they pay attention to rules and humility. And the people in the south are moody and invisible, scheming and trying to do tricks, as long as you are strong, I will obey you.

The continuation of a civilization is indispensable for inheritance and development. But as far as Wei Jin is concerned, she would rather talk to those thousand-year-old foxes than sit down and drink tea with these old people who have to follow the rules in every word and deed.

Old Madam Wei glanced at Wei Jin, her face was not obvious, and she didn't even speak.

After sitting for a while, everyone else felt like they were on pins and needles, but Wei Jin was still the old god drinking tea with the teacup in his hand, and his eyes were focused on the teacup, as if he was holding something so precious in his hand, which was worthy of her careful description.

After sitting for almost half an hour, Mrs. Wei asked someone to fetch a wooden box.

"You can take these things back, you can give them to whomever you want." A touch of relief finally appeared on the old lady's face, "You can live a good life by yourself in the future." On your grandfather's side, you look at it more. ”

"Don't bother the old lady, my grandfather will naturally take care of it."

The old lady hooked the corners of her mouth and nodded.

Wei Jin walked out of the courtyard where Mrs. Wei lived with the box, and galloped away with an indifferent face. When the few young people of the Wei family who chased her out arrived at the door, they couldn't even see the horseshoe prints.

"Old lady, the maid has already asked, the cheap maid received the silver money of the seventeenth mother, and she wants to give the third girl a dismount."

I embarrassed my brothers before, Wei Jin failed and refused to give up, and this time he had to use means. Fortunately, she didn't dare to do anything else, she just wanted to be disgusting and disgusting. is also because she thinks that no one dares to bump into her grandmother, who knows that the girl is not a person who swallows her anger.

"Seventeen Niang should also get married, go back and let the clan give her a good look, and get married next year."

The old lady didn't say what to do with the maid who did the work for Seventeen Niang, but no one had seen her in the Wei family's old mansion since this incident. Only many years later, someone saw an old peasant woman who looked like her in the icy and snowy farm. According to the people around her, this person used to be the maid of a large family.

Wei Jin returned to his room, sat down and was silent for a long time, and finally opened the box.

The eye is filled with a complete ruby head, with bits and pieces of jewelry underneath, and a letter and a stack of silver tickets in the mezzanine below.

Wei Jin didn't open the letter. Fingers brushed over the head of the sleeve, and finally closed it silently.

"Third Miss, Miss Zhizhou has made a post to invite Miss to come over the house to play."

Wei Jin frowned. This Miss Zhizhou didn't know that she was here, she didn't say anything before, why did she suddenly remember to invite her?

But Sima Ji is still living in someone's other courtyard, so she has to give this face no matter what.

replied to the post and set a time, Wei Jin was quite idle to make a dress. After all, if you want to attend such an occasion, it is not appropriate to wear old clothes.

Three days later, Wei Jin was invited to the appointment.

Zhizhou's youngest daughter is fifteen this year, and she has just reached Lu, and she has already decided on a family, and she is the son of a foreigner in Hangzhou.

She is not particularly beautiful, but she is very attractive, has a gentle personality, and is not a little aggressive.

"I invited Miss Wei San here today, in fact, there is something I want to know from you."

Miss Gui Er didn't go around in circles, and after the scene was finished, she retreated and whispered to Wei Jin about the reason.

"Does the third lady know about Lord Shousuke?"

"Of course you know." Civilians can not know who His Majesty is, but there will be no one who does not know who Shousuke is.

"Lord Shoufu's wife is the eldest princess, he and his wife have no children, and they have a daughter, who is twelve years old." Miss Gui Er lowered her eyebrows and said slowly, "Someone heard that the first assistant daughter was pleased with the eldest young master of the He family, but the He family took advantage of the young age of the first assistant daughter and directly set up a family affair for the eldest young master. And Lord Shoufu doesn't want to have anything to do with the He family, so not many people know about it. ”

"What do you mean, the daughter of Shoufu made a special trip to trouble me?"

Wei Jin felt a little incredible, but thinking about the people in the Wei family, she felt that she could understand it again.

"I don't know now, but the first assistant daughter is not very good-tempered, and many nobles in the capital avoid her. I have a feeling that she is probably coming for you. ”

Wei Jin nodded, and accepted Miss Gui Er's good sale. Turning her head, she talked about what Miss Gui Er likes to hear, about Jiangnan, about the customs and interpersonal relationships in Yangzhou.

It was really an accident that she could know about the interpersonal relationships in Yangzhou.

Thanks to the gossip of the fifth uncle along the way, she has a relatively superficial understanding of the relationship between the various families in Jiangnan. But even so, compared to Miss Gui Er, who has lived in the Northland for a long time, it is already a very rare source of information.

"The second sister's temperament is similar to the big sister He I know, you two must be good friends."

Wei Jin decided to write to Sister He when she turned around, introducing her to a new partner. What if you don't see each other, you can exchange letters.

Besides, people have a long life in this life, maybe they will get together in circles.

The two of them don't talk about each other, and they can be regarded as confidants over wine.

Miss Gui Er is good at music and chess, and her poetry and songs can only be said to be average, but compared to the nobles in the south, it is simply a girl born in minutes.

What surprised Miss Gui Er was also Wei Jin. Obviously, all the information says that she is a fatherless and motherless peasant girl, but there is nothing she doesn't understand about this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and female red feed. Of course, it's not possible to be good at everything, but if you take it out alone, you can reach the upper middle level. There are a few things that her brother is afraid of.

From this, Miss Gui Er also understood why the girls of the Wei family would embarrass her. This is really more popular than people. They were raised with gold and dignity since childhood, but they couldn't even compare to a small peasant girl, and it was understandable that they were depressed. It's just that no matter how extenuating it is, it is too cheap to pry his brother to deal with a girl.

Returning home from the Zhizhou Mansion, Sima Ji and Su Wu played against each other in the courtyard.

After a few days, Sima Ji's complexion has improved a lot, although he is still thin and pale, his lips are finally a little bloody.

"Look, this is a gift from Miss Gui Er." Wei Jin sat down and began to offer treasures, "This seat screen is the craftsmanship of Miss Gui Er's hometown, but it is beautiful." ”

If you want to talk about the value, it's not that high, but the paintings embedded in it are very meaningful, and they are liked by the girls in the boudoir.

"Ah Jin likes this, I'll have someone search for you."

"Don't." Wei Jin looked at him with a smile, "I don't care how expensive and exquisite the gift is, I care about my heart." I don't sell this, why do you want so much? ”

When she saw the maid bringing a bowl of medicine, she subconsciously reached out and took it and sniffed it.

"Stop!" Hearing her voice, the maid wanted to run as soon as she threw the tray, but was stopped by Su Wu with a long sword pressed down on her neck.
