Chapter 166: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (8)
"The Lu Family Medical Center has branches all over our country, and their family has important people who want money and money, and they will definitely be able to protect my sister."
"Little girl, are you worried about this? I don't know if I'm ashamed," Ji Ranjia pointed at her forehead with Su Zhi, and said with a smile: "The Lu family is very powerful, and the wife of the young master of their family will only be selected among the door-to-door matches, and there will be no matter about your sister and me." ”
"My sister is good-looking, she knows a lot of things, and she has good people, and she will definitely like it when she sees it! The Lu family is so powerful, where do you need your in-laws to add icing on the cake? Ji Xiaoye shook his head and said.
This little guy is smart, and the idiom she just learned is used here for her. "Even if the Lu family doesn't need the icing on the cake, your sister can't get into the eyes of the young owner, so don't worry about it here, have you done your homework today?"
Ji Xiaoye stuck out his tongue, went out to wash his hands, changed his clothes, and came in to start embroidery. She looked at her sister who was looking down at the window and embroidering, thinking that she had never seen the world, but she still had the basic ability to discriminate. Shaodong's family is handsome, but in front of his sister, he is also set off like thousands of green leaves.
Anyway, she made up her mind to let the young owner and her sister meet, maybe the two of them will see each other!
The days with my family flew by, and the summer had not yet tasted in the heat and dryness, and the leaves were dyed yellow overnight when the north wind blew. An autumn rain lingered and rained down for several days, pouring the ground to the ground.
Yu Yuan's belly is already very big, and people can't help but worry when they see it. The Ji family had already found a midwife, but they were careful and careful, Yu Yuan still stepped on the wetland, slipped and fell and saw blood.
The midwife was pulled over by Ji Weihai in an ox cart, she looked into the house, and saw that Yu Yuan's face was pale, and she didn't even enter the house and asked people to prepare for the future.
The Ji family was panicked, Ji Weihai grabbed the midwife with a blue face and didn't let people go, "Impossible, my daughter-in-law has always been in good health, and she gave birth to two babies, but she fell and gave birth prematurely." Auntie, you can't go, otherwise my daughter-in-law and the baby in my belly will really die! ”
Ji Ranjia directly stuffed ten taels of silver into the midwife's arms, "Auntie, you have delivered so many children, there must be a way to save my sister-in-law and nephew, just say it." We can't live without a sister-in-law. ”
The midwife held ten taels of silver, couldn't help but put it to her mouth and bit it, sighed lightly and said, "It's not that my aunt doesn't want to earn this silver, it's really that your sister-in-law didn't fall well." I know when I look at the belly that the baby was knocked upside down, and it dragged on for a long time, and both adults and children couldn't save it. ”
Ji Ranjia's voice was dyed with tears, it's impossible, she saw her sister-in-law and niece in her previous life, wouldn't it be because of her rebirth that her sister-in-law was in this flying disaster, right? One report and one report, it should still be on her.
Ji Xiaoye ran out as soon as he heard the girl, shouting as he ran: "I'll go to the young owner of the medical hall, auntie, you must let my sister-in-law hold it!" ”
The midwife sighed, "I can only do my best, you can listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
Women giving birth to children are like walking around the ghost gate, especially women from poor families, how many of them have not survived this hurdle. Stuffing a piece of ginger into Yu Yuan's mouth, the midwife washed her hands and leaned directly under her, helping the child to fall off one by one.
"The child is gone, and the adult is enough to choke," the midwife looked at the bruised baby girl in her hand, shook her head and sighed, this time she said that she would not stay, she ran straight and ran out with her silver in her hand.
Ji Ranjia sat in the room with the child in her arms and was stunned, she didn't believe that her sister-in-law and niece were gone like this. Ji Weihai's grief-stricken voice and Yu Yuan's powerless confession knocked her into the hopeless abyss little by little.
"Here, Doctor Lu, hurry," Ji Xiaoye's anxious voice came from the chaos.
Ji Ranjia looked at the white in the autumn rain and walked unhurriedly, took the baby in her arms but pinched it casually, and patted it upside down with her little feet, the bruised and quiet child spit out dirt, and cried wow.
The man shoved the child into her arms and paced into the house, and soon there was a knock from the curtain of the eldest brother's sincere kowtow: "Doctor Lu, you are the benefactor of our family, thank you, I Ji Weihai will make you a cow and a horse in this life to repay your great kindness." ”
"Brother Ji, hurry up, little brother can't stand your big gift. I'm a doctor, you're a farmer, and you're doing your job, so you can't let me kneel down and thank you for a long time after a bite of food, right? The warm voice was dyed with a smile, like the sunshine through the dark clouds, dispelling the mist of the Ji family.
"Doctor Lu, my sister-in-law is fine, we have another niece and nephew, you have to eat at our house today! My sister's cooking skills are very good, do you taste it better than the chefs in Fucheng! Ji Xiaoye said happily.
Lu Xinghua lifted the curtain and came out, and saw the beautiful woman holding the child tightly, her clear eyes were even brighter, and he bent the corners of his lips and said, "Then it's troublesome Miss Ji." ”
"Sister," Ji Xiaoye stomped over and pulled Ji Ranjia's clothes, "I looked at my niece, you cook for Dr. Lu!" ”
She came back to her senses suddenly, there was still fright and sadness on her porcelain white face, she carefully handed the child to Ji Xiaoye, and gave him a deep blessing with gratitude, and went out to cook.
The family bought a lot of good things in order to make up for her, Yu Yuan was pregnant, and there were two little beans and Ji Xiaoye, who was slower than her peers, and the Ji family's chickens, fish, eggs and meat have been prepared since Ji Ranjia came back.
Their vegetable garden is big enough, and Yu Yuan is a careful budgeter, planting vegetables one after another, and drying them all into dried vegetables and preparing them in the cellar if they can't eat them all.
Ji Ranjia rolled up her sleeves and shouted that her eldest brother killed a hen to make soup and milk for her sister-in-law, and began to organize her meal. Kung Pao chicken, mushu meat, old vinegar peanuts, sweet and sour carp, garlic eggplant, cold preserved eggs, the soup is radish gnocchi soup, steamed multigrain rice.
Lu Xinghua ate a lot of face, and was full of praise, and left Yu Yuan a prescription to regulate his body before leaving. The danger of this fetus, the midwife slipped into the inner wall of the uterus when the fetus was corrected, causing heavy bleeding, although he saved the person, but Yu Yuan may not be able to conceive a child in the future.
It's good that people come back, and besides, they already have two skinned boys, and now they have another little Jiaoni, Ji Weihai and Yu Yuan don't feel any regrets.
"Sister, how is Dr. Lu?" There is an extra little milk baby at home, everyone is busy, Ji Xiaoye finally got free, so the thief asked with a smile.
Ji Ranjia glared at her, and really frowned and thought carefully: "Doctor Lu is a good person who saved the lives of sister-in-law and Nini. He is our benefactor. ”
"Doesn't my sister consider repaying her kindness with a personal promise?"
"You are a big child, don't say learn more things in your head, and worry about me all day long!" Ji Ranjia pulled her sister's ears and scolded with a smile: "I still say that, Dr. Lu's family has a big business, and he is well-informed and not something that I, a small village girl, can climb." Xiaoye, you are still young, what the ancestors said is very correct, you don't think that two people can get married and have children if they have a relationship.
Life is very long, and there are too many things for the couple to experience together, and it is not at all something that a young and thin relationship can maintain. ”
"Sister, you just think too much, we can't choose our father and background, so let's work hard. The daughters of the officials' families are all at home, how much knowledge can they have? Ji Xiaoye pursed his mouth unconvinced, "People are really concerned about your affairs." Sister, you have to be active, otherwise when we get rid of the service, you will spend time looking for my brother-in-law, counting the days of marriage, you will be two years older. ”
Ji Ranjia rubbed her cheeks, looked at the swaying bean-sized oil lamp and was stunned, yes, since she returned home, she didn't have to worry about her head hanging around her waist, she was a little lazy in everything, and it was better to say that she was casual, but in fact, she was just escaping reality. Things have to be faced after all, and the family members are actively helping her Zhang Luo, and a candidate is placed in front of her, no matter whether it is good or bad, she has rejected it for various reasons.
"Doctor Lu is really good?" She sighed softly and decided to take a step and give it a try.
"Mm-hmm, there's only one person in the sky and on the ground!" Ji Xiaoye nodded again and again, knowing that her sister was relieved, so she began to chirp like a little sparrow: "My sister has been at home for so long, it's time to go out and breathe!" And we have a little niece, and we need to buy a lot of things, so we can't let others piggyback on them, right? It just so happened that we went to report to the second and third brothers. ”
Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and nodded with a light smile, and responded: "Okay." ”
Although their village is two hours' walk from the town, the farmers have a lot of free time in addition to farming, and the men will go to the town to find some odd jobs to supplement the family, while the women will sell some vegetables, eggs, embroidery, etc. Every day, the ox carts that pass through the villages to the town are full of people.
When the sky was bright, Ji Xiaoye got up, and called Ji Ranjia up, urging her to dress and wash.
Ji Ranjia used the carp caught by Ji Weihai yesterday to boil a pot of soup, boiled more than a dozen eggs saved at home, and they drank a bowl of soup and ate two eggs.
Yu Yuan didn't worry about them going to the town, so he specially explained: "Sister, don't go to a place with few people, don't bring a hat, just bring your sister-in-law's straw hat, and use a floral cloth to cover the eyes." ”
Ji Ranjia nodded earnestly and wrote it down, she didn't look down on anyone because she had been in the palace, or she couldn't listen to it. She has suffered too much, and she doesn't want to take detours with arrogance and ignorance.
Armed, the exaggerated coarse cloth of the peasant family covered Linglong's figure, and under the shabby straw hat with patches was a white-washed cotton cloth, which surrounded her entire face, revealing only two eyes that could not be seen clearly. She and Ji Xiaoye collapsed a basket alone, which put a set of kang screens embroidered with flowers and birds in spring, summer, autumn and winter that had not yet had time to sell, the flowers and birds on the white cotton satin were lifelike, the double-sided embroidery was more beautiful and unique, and the edge made of bamboo was elegant without carving.
Ji Ranjia is confident that if this embroidery piece is placed in the embroidery shop where the nobles in Kyoto often come and go, it will soon be bought. used this as a thank you gift to Dr. Lu, and it was quite handy.
