Chapter Eighty-Seven: Thoughtful Words
Yujin smiled silently, she had long understood Zhu Yuchen's concerns, Zhu Yuchen didn't want her to be too close to her mother's house, especially not close to Zhuge Villa Medical Hall. She played "Butterfly" for Zhuge Weilan in Zhuge Villa, how could Fang Ji not learn it to Zhu Yuchen. Yu Jin may not have cared before, but the affection she could see in Zhuge 's eyes made her vigilant, since she couldn't respond, she should stay away.
When he was about to arrive in the capital, it was raining heavily, and Yujin could only order to stop and go to a roadside hotel to take shelter from the rain.
In the restaurant, Yujin sat in the lobby drinking tea and waiting for the rain to stop. The eyes swept to a couple hiding from the rain, the man was about thirty years old, tall and mighty, as if he was an official, and his wife looked haggard and looked older than the man, probably because of frequent hard work. The man took great care of his wife, but his wife's face was pale, she was trying her best to hide the pain in her lower abdomen with one hand, and the front of her clothes was wet in the rain and she didn't change it.
Yu Jin saw that they only brought one retinue, dressed frugally, and did not seem to be too wealthy. The man's eyes were full of spoiling in the face of his wife, which made Yu Jin very moved, but the man didn't care about the idea, his wife obviously came once a month, and the man didn't know what to do to alleviate his wife's pain.
Yu Jin beckoned Bai Zhao and asked her to fetch some potions and bring them to the lady.
Bai Zhao wore men's clothes to attract the man's attention, Bai Zhao squatted down and saluted and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, madam, I am a woman to wear men's clothes for the convenience of walking, my young lady saw that Madame was unwell, and asked me to send something to Madame." These powders are washed with boiling water and drunk to relieve stomach pain. I can take my wife to the hut and give it to my wife. “
Madame's face turned red and she was a little surprised. Bai Zhao smiled and opened the package, flushed a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to his wife. The man wanted to stop it, but the lady smiled and said, "Official, the concubine has no talent and no appearance, people are well-intentioned and will not harm me."
After the lady drank the potion, she went to the thatched house with Bai Zhao, and soon turned around with a smile, and walked to the veiled Yujin to thank her, "Miss Gaoyi, the little lady is grateful, may I ask Miss Gao's name?" “
"Madame is exempt from courtesy, seeing each other is fate, and when the rain stops, they go their separate ways, and their names are exempted. It's just that I have a word of persuasion, Madame should not get caught in the rain and cold, otherwise I am afraid that the heir will be difficult. “
"You think I'll have an heir?" Madame's eyes lit up, and she looked at Yu Jin with hope, as if Yu Jin was a child and a mother.
"Madame is still young, as long as the body pays attention to not being cold and carefully recuperates, it will naturally happen." Yu Jin couldn't bear to see her disappointed, and said sincerely.
"By the auspicious words of the nobleman, if I have a child one day, I will not forget the grace of Miss today." Madame saluted reverently.
"Miss, the rain has stopped." Draw Wu came in to report.
Yu Jin nodded at Mrs. Yu and left, remembering that she had given Mrs. hope that she would always do something practical.
The man had been watching coldly, he thought that his reputation was resounding, and Yu Jin recognized him coming at him, and he didn't believe that Yu Jin wanted nothing else. Seeing Bai Zhao turn around, he thought he was here to tell his name, and he sneered slightly in his heart, and finally turned around to ask for a return. But Bai Zhao didn't say anything except send a packet of medicinal powder and left in a hurry, he waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come back, so he believed that Yu Jin was really kind and helpful.
"The car will be marked soon." The man avoided his wife and asked the entourage who had gone out to check.
The attendant replied respectfully: "Back to the master, there is no mark on the horse, and there is a young man outside who stayed in the shed to take shelter from the rain, and he wrapped it very tightly, as if he was afraid that others would recognize him, and he left in a car with the girl."
Grace does not hope to repay people in danger. The girl was free and easy, a little interesting, and the man finally smiled sincerely. Yu Jin didn't expect that a small act of kindness today would be reciprocated by a spring in the future, saving her family's life.
Because he was getting closer and closer to the capital, Zhu Yuchen didn't dare to go in to take shelter from the rain, for fear that someone would recognize him and make trouble for Yujin. After getting into the car, he asked puzzledly: "You usually don't meddle with things, why do you care about them this time." The man was very suspicious, and I saw his entourage come out to check where we were coming from. “
Yu Jin smiled embarrassedly, "It's really nosy, that man has an upright and loyal personality, it seems that he has been a local official, I don't know why he entered Beijing lightly." I was moved to see that he doted on his wife, so I did his wife a small favor to alleviate her unbearable abdominal pain. “
"In the future, don't care about this kind of person's idle affairs, and your kindness to help will still be suspected, and you won't be a good bird at first glance."
"Well, listen to you." Yujin couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect that Zhu Yuchen would scold someone if she was upset for her.
Yu Jin had long noticed Yu Chen's gaze, always intentionally or unintentionally swept over her hands, knowing that he was worried about the whereabouts of the pair of wings and flying rings, seeing the capital, it would not be easy to meet in the future, and he didn't want to make him doubtful, so he took the initiative to take out the ring and explained: "This pair of rings is a promise, I can't wear it again, let alone give it to you, otherwise how to complete this matter in the future."
Zhu Yuchen's eyes lit up and he smiled with relief, "I saw that you refused to give me one for a long time, thinking that your mind was still undecided." I forgot that Yan Yinuo is a man's thing in the eyes of outsiders, you take it away, and I can sleep peacefully. “
Yu Jin entered the city gate when it was dark, and when the vehicle arrived at Yue's mansion, it was already dark, and she quietly entered the mansion.
The next day, Yu Jin visited her mother, and Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "Da Yu, if you don't come back for a day, your mother's heart will hang in the air, and now you can finally settle down." Someone came to propose to Xiaoyu, and her mother couldn't make up her mind, so you gave her a trick to see how to help your sister choose a son-in-law who she liked. “
"Mother, the second sister is only thirteen years old this year, so don't worry. It's also strange that in the past, when our family had no money, they were afraid that they would not marry without a dowry. Now that we have money, we are afraid that what people are worried about is our dowry, why is it so difficult? I don't know if the people who came to ask for relatives have seen the second sister, has my mother seen the son? Yu Jin's words of resentment and strange complaint reminded Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Da Yu's words reminded my mother, who does not choose to marry a daughter-in-law, for example, my mother has seen Wang Sixian, her family is a noble scholarly family, she herself knows how to be well-read, Wenjing and virtuous, and her mother is not satisfied with her." Indeed, as the daughter said, the family is poor and has no dowry, and she is afraid that her son will suffer. Xuan Suling's family is rich but she was born in a businessman, she is cheerful and lively, generous and decent, if it weren't for your second brother's lack of fame, my mother would not agree to choose her as her daughter-in-law anyway. These two daughters-in-law were all selected by the daughter-in-law, and they all passed through the eyes of the mother, and your two brothers were also pleasing to the people, so the mother nodded and agreed. Your father thinks that the two daughters-in-law have chosen well, and there is also a son-in-law, and we are all satisfied. But the people who came to the door to ask to marry your sister, and they didn't see your sister, for what? It's definitely not for my daughter, my mother doesn't marry such a hasty person. “
"My mother is the best, she feels most sorry for her children, and I am very happy to be your daughter." Yu Jin sent a high hat in time to make her mother happy.
Mrs. Wu scolded with a smile, "You are the most monkey, you know how to make my mother happy." Alas! Mother doesn't ask for anything, as long as you are all good, mother will be satisfied. When your eldest brother marries his daughter-in-law, his mother will hand over his housekeeping rights to his daughter-in-law, and his mother will enjoy Qingfu without asking anything. “
Yu Jin smiled and said to the serving maid: "You all go down, I don't want you to serve here." Xi Nu, looking at the door from the outside. “
Mrs. Wu asked the maids to go down, knowing that Yujin had something to say, she looked at her daughter nervously, "Da Yu, is something wrong?" “
"Mother, nothing happened, I want to say something intimate to my mother, of course I don't want them to hear it, so as not to chew the root of my tongue."
"You say, my mother listens to you."
"Mother, the power of the family must be in my own hands, I can not let my mother take care of me when I am old, but what about my younger siblings? They are still young, and they will say that they will marry in the future, and they will need silver to marry, can it be the same from the hands of their parents and from their brothers and sisters-in-law? I don't think that my sister-in-law will be stingy with her younger siblings, but she will have her own children, in case any of us are in a hurry and need our mother's help..."Yu Jin nodded and did not continue to say.
Mrs. Wu thought a lot, she nodded solemnly, "Da Yu is really a caring person, you know what you said." When you were sick, your mother was in dire need of silver, and your grandparents refused to give it, and your two uncles jumped to oppose it and threw us out. Mother understands, I don't blame them, your grandfather is not only your father's child, how can he give so much silver for a granddaughter. I went back to my mother's house to beg my brother and sister-in-law, but I didn't even want to ask them, if your grandmother is still there, I will give it to my mother without saying a word. My mother was almost confused, for the sake of my children, my mother had to firmly grasp the power of the family in her own hands. Mrs. Wu drew inferences from one case and immediately understood the importance of being the master of the house.
After being reminded by Yujin, Mrs. Wu started a process of firmly controlling the power of the Yue Mansion for more than 30 years, and did not hand over the power to Wang Sixian until she died.
Yujin knew that her mother misunderstood her grandfather and uncle, but she didn't want to explain, no matter how shrewd her mother was, she was the lady of the inner courtyard after all, and she had never gone out.
Mrs. Wu and Yujin's mother and daughter said a lot of intimate words, and not long after Yujin said goodbye and left, Mrs. Wu immediately began to adjust and check the accounts. Instructed the housekeepers of the inner and outer courtyards to report the results of the errand every day, and if there are things that need to be solved, all of them must be reported, and the treasury, account room, and large expenses are not matched by her even if they are Yue Sanye, and they are not allowed to take things out casually.
When Yu Jin heard about it, she smiled and was very satisfied with her mother's approach. There are no rules, there is no square circle, a house can not be ordered out of multiple doors, with her mother taking over, she can run her own business with confidence in the future.
Entering the twentieth month of the lunar month, Mrs. Wu called Yu Jin to discuss: "Da Yu, there are no people in several of your yards, when your second brother is at home, your mother does not dare and cannot match someone to you, now your second brother is not in the house, and your mother has trained twenty little girls in your father's palace, do you think you can let them enter the house?"
"There has always been a shortage of people in the house, so it should be slowly cultivated with some inferior maids, so that they can come in and be distributed in various courtyards. Mother, I'm asking you for someone, can I want Xing Yin? “
