Chapter 144: Pomegranate Beads (2)

The girl standing at the door recognized Xing Ruyi.

Her name is Nanzhu, and she is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Babaozhai in the east of the city.

Listening to the name, this Babao Zhai looks like a place that sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but in fact, it is a dim sum shop that has been open for a long time. There are a total of eight kinds of special dim sum in the shop, so it is named Babao Zhai.

"Want to buy lipstick?"

"It's my sister." Nanzhu saw that it was a punishment, and the tension on her body immediately dissipated a lot. She first blessed lightly, and then said: "If I had known that this shop was opened by my sister, Nanzhu wouldn't have to linger at the door for so long." ”

"Wandering?" Xing Ruyi pointed outward.

Nanzhu nodded embarrassedly: "The things used in the past were all purchased by my grandmother, and my grandmother was sick in the past two days, so Nanzhu had to come out and buy it herself." The first time I came out, my heart was empty, and I was always worried that I couldn't buy it well, or that what I bought was wrong. ”

"What do you like, tell me, I'll pick it for you." Xing Ruyi enthusiastically took Nanzhu's hand and sat down, seeing that her lips were pale, she couldn't help clasping her wrist with her hand, "Have you had vomiting and diarrhea, stomach chills, and stomach pain in recent days?" ”

"My sister still sees a doctor?"

"A little bit." Xing Ruyi stared at Nanzhu's lower lip, her color was pale, even if she didn't need to check her pulse, she knew that she was unwell. "Since you are unwell, you should recuperate at home, why did you run out while it was cold? Even if the lipfat at home runs out, there is no rush to replenish it for a while. It's okay to come out and buy it when you're better. ”

"My sister doesn't know, this fat is not what Nanzhu wants to buy herself, but her father asked Nanzhu to come out and buy it." Nanzhu pursed her lips lightly: "Tomorrow, it's the day for Daddy to continue the strings, and Daddy hopes that Nanzhu will dress up more festively." ”

"Continuation? Is that Lee? ”

Nanzhu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she nodded.

The matter of Babaozhai is not a new thing in Luoyang City. The Nanjia has been making dim sum in Luoyang City for more than 100 years, although it is not a big wealth, but it is also a little rich. Twenty years ago, Nanzhu's father, Nan Jing, married Xu Yun, the daughter of Xu's Buzhuang in the west of the city, because of the order of his parents. It is said that this is a good marriage, but it caused chaos on the day of the wedding.

Just when Nanjing led Xu Yun into the lobby and was about to kneel down to worship her parents in heaven and earth, a woman rushed in with a child in her arms. After entering the door, without saying a word, he knelt on the ground with a "plop". Nan Jing looked at it, and then turned white, and under the pressure of Nan's parents, he told the woman's identity. It turned out that this woman was actually a bad relationship he formed when he drank flower wine, and because of her bad background, she had been secretly raised by Nanjing outside. I thought that if I had a child, I could welcome their mother and son back to the Nan family in the name of the child, but I never thought that before the child was full moon, Nanjing married a girl from the Xu family.

The good marriage has become a farce, although the Xu family is extremely angry, but this girl has entered the door of the Nan family, and this marriage will be criticized by others. Even if her daughter hasn't entered the cave room with this Nanjing, it will be a bad reputation to spread it. After thinking about it, I can only let my daughter carry out this ritual head-on.

Nanjing's parents knew that they were sorry for their in-laws, so they kicked the woman out with the child in front of a full house of guests, and asked Nanjing to swear that he would not lead this outer room into Nan's house for the rest of his life. Nanjing was under pressure at the time, so he had to nod his head in agreement. But after the ceremony, he blamed the ugly things he suffered that day on the head of his new wife Xu Yun, and even thought that it was because of the Xu family's forced marriage that he failed his beloved, and even his own children could only live in embarrassment outside with the reputation of being an illegitimate child.

For the next two years, Nanjing kept guarding the woman outside, ignoring Xu Yun, until Nanjing's parents forced him to have sex with Xu Yun, and then gave birth to his daughter Nanzhu. At this time, the woman outside already had a son and a daughter. Xu Yun is also a tsundere character, seeing that she has a daughter, she still can't arouse her husband's intentions, and she becomes depressed and goes soon.

When Xu Yun died, poor Nanzhu had just turned one year old, and she had been raised by her grandmother ever since. Although life is not bad, it still seems a little pitiful compared to those children who are often cared for by their parents.

Over the years, the woman outside has been pleading with Nanjing, wanting him to welcome herself back to Nan's house in a continuing attitude, but Mrs. Nan is unwilling, and refuses to let go. Seeing that his sons and daughters have passed the age of talking about relatives, but because of the problem of identity, no one dares to marry, and no one dares to marry. So, this Nan Jing gritted his teeth, planning to take advantage of his mother's illness to cut first and then play, and marry the Li family, who had been raised outside.

Hearing this, Nanzhu was sad, but her grandmother had been ill for many days, and she couldn't bear to let her grandmother worry about her own affairs anymore.

If Li enters the door, she can still see her father, which is better than before, when she can't see her.

"Do you really think so?" Xing Ruyi held Nanzhu's hand and asked lightly: "Have you ever thought that if your father really welcomed the Li family into the door with a continuation ceremony, then she is your mother, and the pair of children she and you gave birth to before will also become the concubines of the Nan family, when the time comes, what should you do?" Mrs. Nan is old, even if she has the heart to protect you, how long can she protect you? ”

"So what can I do? My father had made up his mind, and even the days were set. Nam-joo bit her lip tightly.

"If you don't want the Li family to enter the door, I have an idea." Xing Ruyi rubbed his hands: "Take me to Nan's house to see your grandmother." ”

Nanzhu was still a little hesitant, but it could be seen that Xing Ruyi's eyes were firm, so he couldn't help but believe her.

Mrs. Nan suffers from gout, also known as acute gouty arthritis, which is a sterile inflammation of the joints caused by uric acid deposition in the joints. The typical seizure process is: when you go to bed, you are fine, and in the second half of the night, you will be painful because of the foot pain, and it will get worse and worse, and even the pain will be unbearable.

Mrs. Nan knew about her illness, and she had been asking a doctor to help diagnose and recuperate, and over the years, although she had not been able to make her illness better, she had also controlled it and did not let herself be too sick. In Nanzhu's words, Mrs. Nan's condition suddenly worsened this time, and even the doctor invited by the house was a little helpless.

"Who is responsible for the old lady's daily meals?"

"Mother Zhang." Nan Zhu half-knelt beside the bed, and while gently helping Mrs. Nan pinch her sore joints with her hands, she replied softly:

"Zhang's mother was brought over by her grandmother when she married into the Nan family, and she also married when she was young, but her mother-in-law's family didn't allow it, thinking that she was a girl and was not worthy of her son who had been admitted to Xiucai, so she found an excuse to drive Zhang's mother back. Since then, Zhang's mother has been staying by her grandmother's side, and her grandmother's daily diet, including my food and clothing over the years, has also been helped by Zhang's mother. ”

"Since you are the person next to Mrs. Nan, you should know that these things should never be given to the old lady. Although this cake is a vegetarian vegetable, it has minced animal liver added to it. Although this soup uses Chinese herbs to hide the fishy smell of fish, it still can't hide the fact that it is a fish itself. It's not that Mrs. Nan can't eat at all, but she can't eat it in this season, which is not only not beneficial to the body, but will aggravate the symptoms of gout. ”

"Is what this girl said true?" Old Madam Nan snuggled up to the head of the bed and asked softly.

"If the old lady doesn't believe it, she can ask Nanzhu to find a doctor in Luoyang City and ask."

Old Madam Nan lowered her eyelids and was silent for a while before she spoke: "These things were not made by Lan'er, but were sent by my filial son in the name of honoring me. I wondered, this unfilial son, since he was blinded by the demon of the Li family, there is no longer me as a mother in his eyes, how can he think of caring about me. I was also a little wary in my heart, so I deliberately let Lan'er check it, and after she tried it, she felt that it was okay to take it. It's a pity, when it arrived, he was still in the way of a rebel, and he actually used his mind to change the way to harm me. Nanzhu, go to the yamen to beat the drum, I want to sue this unfilial rebel. ””

"Master Nan didn't mean to harm the old lady, he just wanted the old lady to be sick for a few days. As for this thing, he is a man, and he may not have such a delicate mind. ”

"How could he know this, although my Nan family runs a dim sum shop, but this rebel, when he is young, his limbs are not diligent, and the grains are not divided, if it weren't for a few masters to take care of him, my Babaozhai would have fallen long ago."

This point is also clear to Xingruyi.

Because this old man Nanjing Nan was too unreliable and unreliable, Mrs. Nan took in a few children in the name of adopting orphans, and sent these children to several masters in Babaozhai, so that each of them could only learn two kinds of dim sum . Old Madam Nan originally wanted to use this move to tell Nan Jing, if you don't fight harder, I would rather give the Nan family's Babaozhai to these outsiders than leave it to you. Nanjing didn't want to think deeply, only that her mother would rather trust outsiders than believe in herself, so she moved out of Nan's house because of this incident, and lived a small life at home with the Li family outside. If it weren't for the tightness of money, he wouldn't have licked his face and returned to the Nan family.

The idea wasn't Nan Jing's idea, because he didn't have this IQ.

The thing wasn't made by Nanjing, because he didn't have the craft.

Come to think of it, there is only that Lee. Thinking of that woman, Old Madam Nan's face darkened. She held Nanzhu's hand and comforted softly: "Zhu'er, don't be afraid, grandmother knows what they are thinking, but she just wants to take advantage of my wife's serious illness to marry that femme fatale-hearted woman." Don't say that my grandmother still has a breath, even if she doesn't have this breath, the gate of my Nan family is not something that the dirty thing of the Li family can enter. ”

Nanzhu responded gently, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at the food.
