Chapter 186: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (28)
Ji Ranjia nodded obediently with a deflated mouth, looking at her pitiful little appearance with red eyes, Yu Yuan sighed in his heart, he was a woman and couldn't control it, I don't know how rare my sister-in-law is, no wonder since she got married, her sister-in-law's personality has become softer and more well-behaved.
At noon, Ji Ranjia also ate and vomited, vomited and then eaten, the family tossed for a long time, but there was no effect, but she was even more embarrassed.
"Madam, the lord sent someone to bring you watermelons and grapes. I also gave some fruit to the two young masters to eat. Aunt Liu walked in with a basket full of joy.
Ji Ranjia's nose had already smelled the sweet smell of watermelon, beckoned to her, opened the muslin covered on it, there were two slices of watermelon and a bunch of grapes in it, surrounded by half a basket of strawberries, cherries and melons, the price sold in the market is not cheap.
She took out a piece of watermelon and took a bite of it, the slightly cool and crisp flesh was slightly chewed with sweet juice, and it soothed the discomfort of the stomach a little bit along the esophagus, and then squinted comfortably and beckoned the two little guys to eat the fruit.
"Madam, this is a letter from the lord to you," Aunt Liu smiled and took out a letter, the lord and Mrs. are really in love, I haven't seen you for a long time and send fruit and letters, no wonder, Mrs. looks like a fairy, who marries doesn't have to be pampered and coaxed?
Ji Ranjia clicked and ate a piece of watermelon, then wiped her hands, took the letter and opened it, and there were three pieces of paper densely written inside. Gu Sifan recorded the planting methods and precautions of honeysuckle, and even how to prevent insect pests. I'm afraid this person went to check these directly, right?
Last night, she saw that he wrote a lot of things, and it seemed that he could influence the emperor's decision, and it stands to reason that this matter is more important, and he should take it out to discuss with others, instead of wasting time on her.
Although she thought so, her little face was full of smiles, and she held her breath for a night and half a day.
"Look at the two of you sticky, your little face has been tense for so long, and when someone sends a fruit and writes a letter, you will smile. Poor sister-in-law said that she was busy again, so you pulled the corners of your lips copingly, this treatment is too different, right? Yu Yuan shook his head and quipped with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about my sister, aren't you like that?" Ji Xiaoye held a melon and gnawed happily, eating people with a short mouth, she said with a grin.
"What does the little girl know, eat yours!" Yu Yuan scolded with a smile.
"My sister-in-law, though she made fun of me and annoyed me, won't read it to you," the bunch of grapes was black and purple, and it was very big. She peeled off the skin little by little and put it in her mouth, which was sweet and sour and even more delicious than watermelon.
"You read it to me?"
"Well, Xiang Gong found a way to plant honeysuckle, so he copied it down and let people carry it together," she read the letter carefully, Gu Sifan's words were strong and powerful, although it was written in regular letters, but it was difficult to hide the casual and unrestrained wildness of its owner. It's like the domineering manly aura that emanates from his body between the lines, and his heart beats extremely fast at a glance.
It seems that this time the two of them had an awkward quarrel, and she was more aware of her feelings for him.
Ji Ranjia didn't sell it, and explained it to Yu Yuan in detail.
Yu Yuan listened carefully, she had never planted flowers, she would only plant the land, so her brain couldn't help but connect with the process of planting wheat and corn, and she was mixed up with it, plus so many precautions, such as seed propagation and transplanting, plastic pruning, top dressing and pesticide removal, harvesting and processing, and so on, not to mention the steps, there are many small precautions in each procedure. Each of them may affect the mass production of honeysuckle, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
"No, no, I'm dizzy," she shook her head and said with a bitter face, "You said we can't do anything if we don't know how to read, it turns out that there is so much knowledge in farming." ”
Sighing, she pretended to be fierce and said to her two sons who were obedient strawberry eaters: "Our whole family specially moved to Kyoto in order to make you literate, you can have some rest." Otherwise, it will not be good to plant the land. ”
"Well, mother, I will, I also want to take the top exam and earn a life for my aunt." Four-year-old Ji Yuancheng grinned and nodded seriously.
"Hey, sister, I heard that our emperor is grateful for cultivating pillars for the country, and he can give the champion mother or the champion lady a wife. Mrs. Decree took the money issued by the imperial court, and her sister-in-law didn't invite one for you? Yu Yuan asked puzzledly, this is a convention, the sister-in-law has a stiff quarrel with the family, and the order must be given to the sister-in-law, so there is nothing that can be said and cannot be said.
"Please, don't ask, I don't care much." Ji Ranjia smiled and shook her head, how much contribution did many officials have worked hard for a long time to earn a life for their mother and wife. Although the emperor moved out of this incentive, she believes that everything is borrowed and repaid, and it is impossible to be so easy. "Sister-in-law is waiting for my brother to come, I will tell him again, you understand each step, and when the time comes, let's take it step by step."
"Yes, it's better to do it again than to say more," Yu Yuan nodded with a smile, looking at the three pieces of paper, as if he saw strings of copper plates flying towards him.
Gu Sifan didn't come back at dinner, but asked people to say that they were busy discussing things, and they were left in the palace by the emperor for a few days, hoping that she could take good care of herself, and say what she wanted to eat, and he would try to let people send it.
Ji Ranjia knew that his words were all excuses, and he was not angry with himself, he was afraid that he would be angry with her, so he held it outside, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back when his anger would disappear.
So, it's really pitiful for a man who doesn't even coax him.
Ji Ranjia was sixty or seventy percent sure of the question he asked him, but he still wanted to hear him say it, as if he could say goodbye to his previous self completely, and he didn't think about him in his previous life, but devoted himself to his little life with him, living a small happiness with his husband and children.
She tried her best to adjust her mood, but it was really uncomfortable to be alone in the empty boudoir, Yu Yuan and Ji Xiaoye led the baby home before dinner, she barely ate a mouthful of white rice, sandwiched two chopsticks and potatoes, drank half a bowl of rice soup, and went to eat grapes again.
The sweet and sour taste suppressed the surging nausea, and Ji Ranjia flipped through the script with interest, but not a word entered her mind. When the two of them were calm, she thought about a lot of things, generally how to get along with him in the future, and couldn't help but turn over the memories of her previous life in detail, and found that she was so small that she only pretended to be herself.
Perhaps because he figured out a lot of things, he began to believe in Gu Sifan, was willing to rely on him, and completely entrusted himself to him from the inside out. So she finally had the courage to face her previous life, and after going through it like this, Ji Ranjia remembered a lot of natural and man-made disasters.
She couldn't sit still, so she put on her clothes and went to the study, lit the lamp, and polished the ink carefully. Judging from the fact that Gu Sifan asked people to send fruit to herself during the day, he should have arranged secret guards around her, so her every move would definitely not be hidden from him.
Ji Ranjia tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, and decided to say it in the form of a dream, after all, she really did one.
She sat down in her chair, pinched the pen in her bare hand and began to carefully write down the events she could remember, big and small. It was almost dawn, and she rubbed her eyes and tried to continue writing.
"Can't you just let me save some snacks?" Gu Sifan pushed the door in with a tired face, covered in dew and cold. He stood three paces away from her.
Ji Ranjia looked at him in a daze, she had never seen him so haggard, except for when he cleaned up her ashes and snot in a dream, he had never been like this for three consecutive days of exams.
With bloodshot eyes, a stubble on his chin that had not been taken care of all day, slightly messy hair, and obvious creases on his clothes, she could imagine that he had hurried back.
"Hungry? Shall I order you some noodles? Ji Ranjia chuckled and put down the pen and walked over to pull his hand.
He leaned to the side, and said with a cold face: "No need, you call Liu to get up and cook something for you to eat, and I will go to the court after washing." ”
Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and sat back to continue what she hadn't done.
"Ji Ranjia, don't you look at the hour, you are pregnant now, can you sit for a long time and stay up late?" He held back his anger and said with his eyes not daring to stay on her for a moment, for fear that he would be defeated again.
Yes, it's obvious that he snatched someone to marry him. At that time, he was ready to be hated by her for the rest of his life, but the two didn't quarrel for long, so they lived sweetly. But Gu Sifan became more and more dissatisfied, he hoped that she would only have her eyes full of herself.
He didn't like her lonely and homesick appearance during the New Year, he didn't like her to always look at herself as if she was looking at another person through him, and he didn't like her to mention other men.
In the end, he was afraid, afraid that if he had it, he would find it difficult to bear to lose.
When Ji Ranjia asked him, he thought about it carefully, and that hopeless loneliness, mixed with jealousy, greed, and dissatisfaction, exploded together.
He's mad at himself.
Ji Ranjia glanced at him and snorted, "Hurry up and wash up, you'll miss the hour later." ”
"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry," he wiped his face with his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't control my emotions, can you be obedient and wait for me to slow down?" ”
With a force on her wrist, she finished writing the last word, and blew on the paper, spilling ten pages of paper, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
"You can do whatever you want, I can't stop you," she snorted, folding the papers one by one into her arms, and she yawned lazily, "I'm tired and go to bed." ”
Saying that, she walked to the bedroom without squinting, Gu Sifan raised his arm, hung down weakly, clenched his fist tightly and slammed it against the table beside him, unable to control his strength, the table split into two halves in response to the sound, trembling and barely supporting the tea tray above.
Ji Ranjia went back to the house and pouted, the morning was too quiet, she could hear the squeak of the gate opening and closing of the outer courtyard, and she was hypocritical and aggrieved and cried.
