Chapter 38: Who Should Be Careful?
Chapter 112: Who Should Be Careful?
The servant woman handed over a book neatly wrapped in oiled paper, and said with a smile: "My young lady said that the one that my husband wrote by hand before, she offered on the table, this book was hand-copied by her in her spare time, and I also asked the fourth young grandmother not to dislike her for not writing well." ”
It turned out that Lin Qingmei sent someone to deliver the book, Xia Ruixi knew the preciousness of the manuscript, not to mention that it was a relic of someone's father, so it was naturally a treasure. Where will you pick the fat and pick the thin, I am busy thanking me, because I think that Lin Qingmei sent people under the fence, and the servants around me are definitely not rich, and the servants around me are not having a good time, and the New Year is approaching, so I specially asked Chun'er to give the servant woman a reward of fifty big dollars. He also said, "You tell Miss Lin to ask her to come and be my companion in her spare time." The servant woman went with a thousand thanks.
"Fourth brother and sister, wait a minute, I have something to say to you." Behind him, Bai's call was heard. I saw a mother-in-law lighting with a lantern, a girl behind her holding an umbrella for Bai's, and another sturdy girl supporting her, and she was coming quickly towards the two.
Xia Ruixi stopped and blessed: "Third sister-in-law, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Shi hurriedly rushed over, took Xia Ruixi's hand, and looked at Ou Qingjin: "Qingjin, I have something to say to your daughter-in-law, you wait a while." ”
When Ou Qingjin walked away, Bai approached Xia Ruixi: "That servant woman just now is Lin Qingmei's person, right?" ”
Seeing Xia Ruixi nodding, she smiled mysteriously: "You be careful." This Miss Lin, it's better not to befriend her. ”
"Why?"
Bai pouted: "Why?" It's not good for me to talk about people behind my back, you'll know later. I'm doing this for your own good. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled: "Third sister-in-law Xie is kind, I understand it." He stomped his foot: "It's really cold this day, it was a sunny day yesterday, and now look at this snow, it's raining so heavily." ”
Before the Bai clan finished gossiping, he looked at Ou Qingjin again, and said softly: "Also, let me remind you, you should be careful of the blue mark in your room." The whole little goblin, thinking about being an aunt, ran to the lady's room one day. Although she has served the four young since she was a child, she has always ...... Hi! You have a really good temper, tsk, if I had suffered such idleness this morning, I would have to smash that dead girl's face and tear my mouth to get out of this bad breath. ”
Xia Ruixi didn't dare to say more to the Bai family, but she was afraid that she would tease herself and say something here, so she went to tell the second lady Ou in a blink of an eye, but she couldn't offend her, and shook Bai's hand with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you are so good." Another day, I'll ask a few sisters-in-law to come over and play tricks. ”
Bai Shi had to say more, and Ou Qingjin smiled slightly impatiently: "Third sister-in-law, the snow is slippery, you better go back first, and I'll let Xixi come over to talk to you another day." ”
Bai pouted: "Won't you just say a few words to your daughter-in-law?" So reluctant. He smiled at Xia Ruixi again: "Then I'll go first." ”
"What did the third sister-in-law tell you just now?" Ou Qing grabbed Xia Ruixi, "Slow down, now that there is just a layer of thin ice on the ground, and a layer of snow, it is the most slippery time." ”
Xia Ruixi laughed heartlessly: "It's nothing, she said that I should be careful of Miss Lin and Bijin, and said that she saw Bijin sneakily go to the upper room to see her mother this morning, and my mother was angry at that time and asked me what was going on." There was no scolding. ”
Ou Qingjin frowned: "What did you say to her?" ”
Xia Ruixi said: "I didn't say anything, just said thank you for her concern." ”
"Don't believe her words, Miss Lin, you'll know when you are the director. As for Bijin, she is not that kind of person, she must have happened to go to the upper room, and she happened to see it, so she came to provoke you. You be careful with her, the third sister-in-law will tell lies for her own purposes. ”
Lin Qingmei didn't care, but Xia Ruixi had already decided that it was the ghost of Bi Jin, and when she saw Ou Qing defending her, she was unhappy, but her face did not show it: "Well, I listen to you." Speaking of which, how old is? ”
Ou Qing said solemnly: "I don't know, it's about sixteen or seventeen years old, right?" I do the math, she's been serving me for years, and she seems to be this old. ”
Xia Ruixi pretended to be unintentional and said, "I'm a little older." "At this age, in a few days, it should be a brat, right?
Ou Qingjin was silent for a moment and then opened the topic: "After the New Year, let's go to your hot spring Zhuangzi for a few days?" ”
Xia Ruixi was happy: "Okay." "What's not good? How about being able to get out of here and go for a few days of leisure? But Ou Qingjin's attitude towards Bi Jin is a little ambiguous, she has mentioned this, but he doesn't follow it, what do you think, he always has to express his position. But the current situation does not allow her to continue to force him, but it is only three or two days after marriage, and the days are still long. So he quipped: "Let's go back to bed early tonight and don't do anything else." ”
Ou Qing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and was about to pinch her mouth, and whispered: "You dare to make fun of your father-in-law's words, you are so bold!" Before he pinched Xia Ruixi, he couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Dad is really ......"
When she returned to the door, Xia Ruibei just came out and shook it slightly, and retired after fulfilling her obligations, Mr. and Mrs. Xia were very satisfied with Ou Qingjin, and Xia Ruiyu also liked this second brother-in-law. Mrs. Xia likes Ou Qingjin even more, and she feels very proud to have such a grandson-in-law, but it would be better if she could be an official like Wu Zi'an.
Mrs. Xia was getting old in the end, so she accidentally said her thoughts, and suggested that Ou Qing should find a half-official position and glorify her ancestors. Although Ou Qingjin was respectful on his face, Xia Ruixi could clearly see that he was unhappy.
Xia Ruinan also went back to her parents' house alone, just to care about her sister's happy and unhappy newlywed life, and by the way, she told Xia Ruixi that Wu Zi'an's business was done, and after the New Year, she was going to take the baby to Tokyo with Wu Zi'an to take up a post. Xia Ruixi said enviously: "It's good that you can be your own master from now on." ”
Xia Ruinan understood what she meant, and smiled to comfort her: "You have to be patient, in fact, the elders of the Ou family are very old." ”
At dinner, Mr. Xia worriedly said that there has not been a single snow in the area of the capital since the beginning of winter, every day is sunny, the south wind blows every day, the water is dry and dry, the winter crops such as wheat are determined to be lost, and it has become difficult for people and animals to drink water, and it is a great drought that has not been encountered in 60 years. The imperial court sent people everywhere to find water sources, looking for the so-called half-immortal masters to pray for snow, not only ordered the nobles in the palace and the ministers of the court to bathe and burn incense and eat fasting, but also ordered the people to worship incense and eat vegetarian food, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but still did not see the face of the heavenly prince.
Ou Qing said worriedly: "In this way, I don't know if there will be disaster victims flowing into Xijing next year, and I don't know how many people will starve to death." ”
Xia Ruixi looked at his appearance of worrying about the country and the people, and thought to himself: "He must also want to make achievements, right?" It's just that I was dragged down by my family and couldn't enter the office, so I must be sad in my heart. "Because of the special status of the Ou family, in order to avoid trouble, they don't dare to let their sons and grandchildren become big officials, in most cases, after taking a fame, they will be idle at home, to be an official, but also to be an insignificant petty official.
When the two of them returned, it was getting late, and the snow on the side of the street was thick and the street was covered with a thick layer of hard ice. Xia Ruixi looked, not only was there ice on the street, but even someone's face and heart seemed to be frozen. Who can say that his life is perfect, born in such a family, he has no talent, but he is destined to be buried, this is his biggest tragedy.
remembered what he said to her lonely on the way back to Xijing - "In life, where can everything be successful?" If you don't like to do things anymore, others like them, don't you have to stay up? ”
Xia Ruixi held his hand with pity: "The people of our family teach Ruiyu every day and let him study hard, hoping that he can gain fame in the future, glorify his ancestors, and soar." In fact, I hope that he can live happily and live his life peacefully. The way for people to succeed is not only to be an official, but also to the success of ordinary people. I think that although my father is not an official, he is actually successful, at least he makes our family worry-free, and can save lives and help the wounded. There are also those celebrities and gentlemen, who live happily among the mountains and rivers, wandering in the poems, and are eternal, how can they be compared with an official seal? Do you think I'm right? ”
Ou Qingjin's eyes flashed, he looked at Xia Ruixi intently, smiled lowly, and touched her head: "I understand what you mean." In fact, the last time I was in the capital, the noble concubine Niangniang proposed to let me serve in the court, but my father never asked me what I meant, so he refused directly. ”
Xia Ruixi sighed: "You must have been sad at that time, right?" ”
Ou Qingjin smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it." It's like this after all, in fact, I hate people the most about how good I was born in the Ou family, how lucky, and how good and bad fortune lie and what blessings and blessings rely on. I don't know when, our family's wealth and peace will come to an end. ”
Xia Ruixi was shocked when he heard this: "Why do you say that? Is it because of the one in Kyori? What's wrong? ”
Ou Qingjin frowned, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Be quiet." ”
Xia Ruixi affirmed her conjecture more and more, thinking about it, the princes are so big, and they are only a few of the princes, and the noble concubine Niangniang was named a prince when she was a baby who was just a full moon, although it was a supreme glory, but it also buried a huge disaster. Although the Ou family is not the direct family of the concubine Niangniang, everyone knows what the concubine Niangniang relied on, before the baby grew up and took power, if the baby was on his feet today, not only the concubine Niangniang would be unlucky, but even the Ou family would be unlucky, maybe the Xia family would not be able to escape.
Thinking of all kinds of terrible possibilities, Xia Ruixi hugged Ou Qingjin in fear: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money or servants, I just want everyone to be safe." "She can endure hardships and work, and I believe that she can survive with her own hands and will not become a burden to anyone.
Ou Qingjin sighed and touched her head: "Don't be afraid, it's not that yet." You don't look like a sixteen-year-old, boudoir, unworldly woman. It's a pity to be so smart and cunning. ”
Xia Ruixi raised his head and opened his eyes wide: "What's a pity?" How cunning am I? I'm the most honest. ”
Ou Qingjin smiled and tugged at her ears: "I'm sorry for you, if it's a man, you must be the most promising one in your family, what a glorious ancestor, a flying one, it's not a problem." As for whether you are honest or not, you know for yourself. 2k reading network
