Chapter 9 Meetings
After finishing lunch, Jia Min was about to go to the inner room to take a nap, when Dongmei said that Yao Huang was back. Jia Min suddenly lost his sleepiness, so he asked Dongmei to bring someone quickly.
I saw Dongmei lead Yao Huang and an old woman in, the old woman's gray hair was meticulously combed, with a silver hairpin embedded in the hair, a dark jujube red muslin dress, and a pair of black embroidered satin shoes. The complexion is fair, and the good appearance of his youth can be vaguely seen, although he is old, he is in good spirits, and he is graceful and atmospheric when he raises his hands and feet.
When Jia Min was looking at the old woman, the old woman was also looking at her. The old woman's eyes were clear, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Yao Huang stepped forward to salute first, and introduced: "Girl, this is the grandmother of the slave, and the grandmother's maiden name is Wan." "Why don't you come here to salute, and immediately let Jia Min stop you, "Why not, you are an elder, how dare Jia Min accept your courtesy?" ”
Wan Mo smiled a little more sincerely, with excitement in his eyes. "The old slave is a lonely old man, and I am very grateful to be loved by the girl."
"I used to be stupid and stupid, I didn't find out that Yao Huang and the four were good, I really did it blind and didn't know it!" Jia Min laughed at herself. After he sat down, he asked Wan Mo to sit down, and Wan Mo refused to sit down after some refusal, but he only sat halfway.
After sitting down, he said, "The girl is still young, and she has never been a housekeeper before, so it is good that someone takes care of the trivial things around her." ”
"I heard Yao Huang say, did the four of them learn the rules?"
"Yes. The old slave used to be on an errand in the imperial dining room in the palace, specializing in making medicinal food for the queen's mother, which is now the queen mother's mother, to regulate her body. Later, when he was older, he was released from the palace by the grace of his mother. I wanted to go back to my hometown to live with my nephew, but I didn't know that when I encountered a catastrophe, my nephew's family was nowhere to be found. I met Yao Huang halfway, and when I saw that she had lost her parents and family, I felt pity in my heart, so I brought her back to raise her. Fortunately, the deceased old lady had a kind heart and kept us in the house, otherwise we would not know how to live. ”
Jia Min thought of her deceased grandmother, and she was also sad and couldn't help crying. Yao Huang hurriedly stepped forward to wipe her tears and comforted: "Don't be sad, girl, hurt your body carefully." The old lady in heaven must want you to be happy every day and everything goes well. ”
Jia Min stopped her tears and said to Wan Mo, "You taught Yao Huang very well. ”
"It is a blessing for the girl to value her."
"In less than half a year, I'm going to get married, and I'm going to take Yao Huang and the four of them with the bridal maid, as well as Dongmei and Mo Lan and Wei Zi who I bought today. It's just that I'm young and ignorant, and I don't have an old man by my side to remind me at any time, and I really don't know the bottom in my heart. Jia Min walked to Wan Mo's side, and Wan Mo also stood up, "I don't know if Wan Mo would like to be with me for a long time, and teach me something?" ”
Hearing this, Wan Mo hurriedly bowed down and said that he didn't dare: "The girl wants the old slave by her side, because she can afford the old slave, and the old slave should serve wholeheartedly." It's just that the old slave is old, and he is afraid that he is unable to do his job and does not serve well. ”
Jia Min took Wan Mo's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are by my side, I will think about it, and I will definitely provide for my old age." In the future, Yao Huang will find a good family for her, and I will not let her be wronged. ”
Wan Mo didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and Jia Min helped her to sit down together.
"Yao Huang, you go back and pack up your things and bring them, I've already asked Green Calyx to clean up the house, and you and Green Calyx will help tidy up together."
"Yes, girl." Yao Huang took the order and left.
"Well, Dongmei, Mo Lan and Wei Zi are all maids who practice martial arts, their rules are a little loose, and they have worked hard to help train and train in the past two days." Dongmei was not very happy when she heard that she wanted to learn the rules, so she pouted.
Seeing this, Wan Mo couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "Don't worry, girl, the slaves and maids will be trained with all their heart, and they will be allowed to give full play to their strengths." I wonder if the girl can let the slave take the pulse? ”
Jia Min knew what it meant, so he stretched out his hand without saying a word. Wan Mo carefully checked the pulse, and his expression was normal: "The girl's body is fine, only a little lack of qi and blood, but the girl's family has this disease, so don't care." The old slave has some recipes for replenishing qi and blood, so he has found some good medicine to make some medicinal food for the girl in the past two days, and it will be good to recuperate for a few days. ”
"Then there is a lot of work, what herbs do you need, you just tell Dongmei to find it."
In the study of the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai was replying to the patriarch of the old family in Suzhou. Today, I received a letter from the patriarch, saying that three cousins in the clan are good at studying, and they have been admitted to Xiucai this year, and I want Lin Ruhai to write a letter of recommendation to study at Xixi Academy in Hangzhou. The dean of Xixi Academy is a student of Lord Xianlin, and he has great respect for Lord Xianlin, and he has a good relationship with Lin Ruhai, a junior brother. Lin Ruhai knew that his senior brother attached great importance to character and talent, so he first returned to the patriarch and asked him to send the articles of the three cousins and nephews to have a look, and prepared to ask the Shadow to send someone to check on the three of them.
At this moment, the shadow appeared silently in the study. "I've seen my master!"
Lin Ruhai didn't respond, continued to finish writing the letter, checked that there was nothing wrong and put it aside to dry. He raised his head and looked at the shadow and said, "What's going on over there in Rongguo's mansion?" ”
Shadow Heart said: The master really asked Rongguo Mansion first, which shows that he cares a lot about Miss Jia San. "Rong Guogong took the lead in beating Xia He and Qiu Ju fifty boards, their families were all sold, Xia He didn't survive, but Qiu Ju asked Mrs. Jia to secretly send it to Zhuangzi, it is said that she was pregnant with the child of the second master of Zheng."
Lin Ruhai frowned and pondered: "Didn't Chunlan move?" ”
"I didn't move, Miss Jia asked for their family to be a companion room, but she didn't let her serve her closely."
After listening to the dark shadow's words, Lin Ruhai's brows stretched and a smile appeared, "Min'er is really smart!" "There was joy and pride in his voice."
Shadow felt that his master looked a little silly, not at all as calm and atmospheric as he usually saw. So, the shadow told Jia Min about letting people save the Mo Lan sisters and a dwarf, as well as the fact that he had received Wan Mo by his side. After speaking, he asked: "Master, why did Miss Jia save that dwarf, if saving Sister Mo Lan is a good deed every day, then the dwarf was injured at night, how could Miss Jia save him so coincidentally that he would appear there?" ”
Lin Ruhai also had this question, but he didn't have a clue for a while, but seeing that the people around Jia Min were all decent and capable, if they could be subdued, it would be a lot of help for Jia Min, so I won't delve into it for the time being.
"Also, what does that Chunlan master think?" The Shadow asked again.
"Min'er is useful to keep her, don't you see Min'er holding her family in her hands, your housewife really has a seven-trick exquisite heart."
Shadow thought about it deeply, and immediately understood the deep meaning, and also looked up to Jia Min, the housewife, a little higher.
"What's going on with the Wang family?" Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Min could take care of it herself, and she didn't need to interfere by herself, so she came to ask about the Wang family's side again.
"Wang Ziteng didn't make any moves, probably because he was afraid, so he didn't go to the Three Princes' Mansion for the past two days and nights." A weird smile appeared on the shadow face, and after holding back for a long time, it was easy to admit that she didn't laugh, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Miss Wang is not happy today, I asked the doctor to come and see, the doctor said that she was not sick, and Miss Wang was not good at telling the doctor about the uncomfortable place, so she refused to even come out of the inner room." ”
Lin Ruhai showed a gloating smile, thought for a moment and instructed the shadow: "Let her stay sick and get married, and let her recover after I marry Min'er." ”
The Shadow should be. Lin Ruhai explained the matter of investigating the cousin of the clan to the shadow again. Suddenly, I remembered the small note that Jia Min brought in his return gift, reminding himself to pay attention to the people around him. Then he said to the Shadow, "Find a few reliable and faithful people to check all these people around me, and make sure to find out the details, and there must be no suspicion." ”
The shadow looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise when he heard this, "Does the master suspect that someone has betrayed the master?" As he spoke, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
"No, I just want to sort out the people around me, leave a loyal and useful one, and give Min'er a clean home in the future. It was also Min'er who rectified the people there and gave me this idea, and it was also for my own safety. ”
Shadow listened and agreed, the master must not have a betrayer by his side, it is best not to let him know that someone has betrayed the master, otherwise......
