Liang'er first told Xia Ruixi that Ou Qingjin did not leave until he arrived at the door of the upper room in the morning, but when he went, it was when the Wu family had just left and Lin Qingmei was crying. He stood at the door and listened for a while, and Purple Satin invited him in, but he said that he suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter that had not been dealt with, so he hurried away.

No wonder he wasn't surprised at all when he told him about Lin Qingmei. It turned out that he already knew, but why did he hide? According to his temper, he would not watch Lin Qingmei cry like that and ignore it, no matter what, it was the daughter of his life-saving benefactor, and he would not sit idly by. Xia Ruixi concluded from this that there must be something greasy in this.

Sure enough, then Liang'er said mysteriously, she heard the mother-in-law in the yard last night say that she saw Lin Qingmei's girl intercepting Si Shao on the way last night, and she didn't know what to say to Si Shao, Si Shao kept shaking her head.

But after a while, Lin Qingmei also came, and the two said a few words on the side of the road, but they didn't know what to say. Lin Qingmei handed something to Si Shao, but Si Shao didn't answer it, and soon turned around and left, Lin Qingmei was crying in the back, and he didn't look back.

Liang'er said: "Tuan'er, this stupid, I don't know how to report this kind of thing quickly, if it really happens, isn't it caught off guard?" This stupid fool, the fourth young grandmother often gives him pocket money and candy to eat, and feeds them to the dog's stomach, and when he comes back, the slave must give him loose skin. ”

Xia Ruixi said lightly: "What are you blaming him for?" If Si Shao is not allowed to say it, will he dare to say it? Could it be that Si Shao gave you money to spend, and you were willing to tell him what I didn't allow you to say? ”

Liang'er was about to say that it was different, but Chun'er pulled her, and when she saw it, Xia Ruixi's face was long, and she suddenly understood, stuck out her tongue, and didn't dare to touch the tiger's whiskers again.

Xia Ruixi lowered his head and thought silently for a while, and asked Chun'er to go to the house to get two tribute cigarettes and ink, four tubes of top-grade lake pens, and two boxes of long-hidden four-foot special pure skin shengxuan, and put them in ordinary boxes, and let Liang'er hold them for the Wu family.

It is said that Wu is having a headache about what gift to prepare for his son's husband, so as to please his husband's other eyes. This gentleman is the top person in Honglu Academy, and his knowledge and talent are excellent, but he is not lucky enough to be on the list, so he stays in Honglu Academy to teach. Usually there are some arrogant talents, obviously people are not rich, but they don't look down on rich things.

Wu Shi pondered, what about the elegant things, the good ones are too expensive, the cheaper ones, they like it, and people may not be able to see it, so they want to find some good four treasures of the study to send, but after rummaging through the treasury at home, there are good ink and good pens, but the paper is not suitable.

If you want to talk about writing and painting, it is best to hide the long-hidden shengxuan, just because the rice paper that has just been produced is too white, so there is a sense of fire. The long-hidden shengxuan has a soft color, and the ink color is more charming. The rice paper in the warehouse is either new paper, or it has not been stored for a long time, and it can't be used.

The Wu family was in a dilemma, so someone came to report that Liang'er next to the fourth young grandmother had sent something.

Liang'er smiled and saluted: "Grandma Jin'an." The fourth young grandmother heard that the eldest young grandmother was looking for a long-hidden shengxuan, so she asked the slave maid to bring some special pure skin shengxuan, please see if it is suitable? In addition, there are ink and pens, which are said to be for the two young masters. ”

Wu Shi looked at the paper, thin as cicada wings and white as snow, trembling like fine silk and not hearing a sound, his heart first rejoiced, and then looked at the pen and ink, and felt that Xia Ruixi was generous. After thanking you, you have to leave Liang'er for a cup of tea before leaving.

Liang'er said sadly: "Don't hide it from the eldest and youngest grandmothers, the fourth young grandmothers are uncomfortable, and the slaves and maids don't dare to delay." ”

Wu Shiqi said: "What's the matter?" Who dares to be angry with her? I went to give Madame a way to vent her anger. ”

Liang'er said: "It's not for Miss Nalin. It's not strange that you said that she was so good, how our four young grandmothers treated her on weekdays, but everyone saw it. She wants to leave, not to say goodbye to our four young grandmothers, but let people intercept the four young grandmothers in the middle of last night to say goodbye. If you don't know, it can't be said that the fourth young grandmother harshly treated her, and she didn't even dare to open the door? It's so unconscionable. Therefore, the fourth young grandmother is very sad, if the eldest young grandmother is free, please enlighten her. ”

Wu Shi was silent for a while, and said, "I know, since your four young grandmothers are uncomfortable, you should go back and serve earlier." You tell her that things are too messy and complicated today, and I will go to see her on another day to make her feel at ease. ”

Liang'er got the letter and thanked him with a smile.

Wu sat down and thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to serve and go to the upper room to see Mrs. Ou.

In the evening, Ou Qingjin came back for dinner, and found that the two girls were not as enthusiastic as usual, and Xia Ruixi was also unusual, he didn't get up to greet him, but said lightly: "Are you back?" Let's start eating. I'm hungry, so I didn't wait for you to eat first. ”

Ou Qingjin didn't care, washed his hands and went to the table, but found that the table was different from the previous abundance, only a small bowl of brown rice, a pair of chopsticks, a bowl of vegetarian cabbage soup, a plate of pickles, and nothing else, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?" ”

"Back to Si Shao, this is what Si Shao's grandmother specially ordered you to do, she said to eat too much greasy, you have to change the taste occasionally, eat some light and clear the stomach, so that it is conducive to digestion." Sour Jiao'er smiled cautiously, and muttered to herself: Everyone in this family knows that Si Shao can't live without meat every meal, and I don't know how he offended Si Shao's grandmother, so he gave him this?

Ou Qing took a look, Xia Ruixi was half-lying on the rocking chair by the window squinting her eyes, Chun'er was fanning her, and Liang'er was sitting on the pedal and beating her legs, all three of them had calm faces, and no one glanced at him.

No matter how sluggish he was, he knew that he had offended Xia Ruixi, bowed his head for a moment, silently picked up the bowl and ate the brown rice with vegetarian cabbage soup and pickles, finished eating a bowl, and waited for the little girl waiting next to him to add rice, but there was no movement.

"Why don't you add food?"

The sour Jiao'er smiled pitifully: "Back to the words of the fourth young man, the fourth young grandmother said, eat fine in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less at night." Do you still use cabbage soup? ”

Ou Qingjin was choked, do you still use cabbage soup? A small bowl of brown rice disappeared as soon as it was eaten. He smiled wryly and picked up his chopsticks to sweep away the rest of the cabbage soup.

Seeing that he put the chopsticks down, Sour Jiao'er led the little girl to clean up briskly with her hands and feet, and quietly retreated.

Ou Qingjin walked to Xia Ruixi and sat down, habitually reached out to serve tea, and when he drank it, he found that it was boiled water, so he had to look at Xia Ruixi helplessly.

Xia Ruixi didn't say anything, and he didn't look at him, Liang'er couldn't help it, Lala Chun'er: "Let's go and take a look at the tonic soup stewed for the fourth young grandmother." ”

There were no outsiders in the house, and Ou Qingjin immediately stuck to it like kraft candy: "Xixi, good wife, what's wrong with you?" Pack me up like this. ”

Xia Ruixi ignored him.

"Look, you want me to eat vegetarian rice and vegetarian soup, and you don't give me enough to eat or tea, don't I depend on you? Why aren't you deflated? Ou Qingjin looked very aggrieved.

Xia Ruixi glanced at him: "You can do whatever I tell you to do, why is this?" Why should I be deflated? Why should I be angry? ”

"Aren't you upset? Naturally, I want to make you happy. Ou Qingjin took her hand and put it on his face.

Xia Ruixi snorted coldly: "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" ”

Ou Qingjin blinked: "Who did something wrong?" You mean me? What did I do to the detriment? ”

Xia Ruixi glared at him angrily: "Let me ask you, you obviously heard Lin Qingmei crying this morning, why didn't you go in?" Who are you hiding? Why are you hiding if you didn't do anything wrong? ”

Ou Qingjin got up and rubbed her temples: "Don't stare, don't stare, your eyes are too big and not good-looking." I just thought it was full of women and it was embarrassing for me to go in. ”

Xia Ruixi had tears in his eyes and waved his hand away: "Then why are you lying to me, why did you suddenly remember that you have something urgent to go to the outer courtyard?" And what did she do with you last night? What are you doing with such sneakiness? You make it clear to me! ”

Ou Qingjin's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Yo, are you going to cry?" Small vinegar jars. You're so sour, how dare I sneak up on something? ”

Xia Ruixi gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, he glared at him hatefully, didn't say anything, and tears fell down one by one. Even if he knew that the two of them were nothing, thinking that he was hiding it from her, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

Ou Qingjin was a little panicked at this time: "Don't think about it, it's really nothing, her girl came to tell me that she has been crying, let me persuade her." I thought that it was late at night, and she was my daughter's house, so it was really inappropriate for me to persuade her, so I said to her girl, you are still waiting for me, and I will not persuade people, so I will go to persuade you together. Who knew that I was about to leave, so she came out with red eyes and scolded the girl for being ignorant, and resigned to me, and wanted to give me the notebook written by Master Lin's father, I said that the things were too precious, and I resolutely did not want them. After a few words of persuasion, I left. I didn't want to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you would think too much, if there was anything, I could stand on the side of the road? ”

He is not a fool, although Lin Qingmei did not say it explicitly, but the meaning in her words hinted at him, she did not want to be famous, she really admired and respected him, wanted to serve Xia Ruixi, and relied on him for a lifetime. He was actually frightened by the desperate expression on Lin Qingmei's face, and the reason why he ran away in a hurry was because he wanted to save some face for everyone.

When he arrived at the upper room early in the morning, he heard Lin Qingmei crying, he didn't want to go in, he didn't want to care about it, he felt that it was not good to persuade or not, and because of what happened last night, although he didn't do anything, he was afraid that Xia Ruixi would think more if he knew it.

It's just that he didn't dare to tell Xia Ruixi about this. He is a decent man, although he doesn't like Lin Qingmei's behavior, but he doesn't want to leave Lin Qingmei with no room at all. He thought that the best way was for everyone to treat this as if this had never happened, what should they do and continue to do it, the big deal is that he will stay away from Lin Qingmei in the future.

But what he said was enough for Xia Ruixi to be annoyed: "Where do I think about it too much? She is a big girl who has not left the cabinet, you are a family person, why don't you come to the house if you want to quit, and go up in the middle of the night to intercept you? Could it be that when she came, I treated her badly and didn't let her into the house? What am I not thinking about for her? Food, as long as it is good, let people send some to her, for what, just thinking about Master Lin's love, thinking about her pitiful, you know all this. But she treated me like this, it was too much! I'm going to go to her and ask her, what kind of heart is she's in? "If you really jump up, you have to go out.

Ou Qingjin hugged her: "Grandma, can you live in peace?" Whether her behavior is proper or not, it is her personal matter, and what others want to say is also about her, what does it have to do with you? If I do the slightest bit of sorry for you, or if there is a half-step of courtesy, the sky is thundering, you should know who I am. ”

Xia Ruixi didn't really want to go, so he stopped: "What you said is true?" ”

Ou Qing said seriously: "Really. I'm not that confused, you have to trust me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard her inside this morning, so I deliberately avoided her. ”

Xia Ruixi also looked at Ou Qingjin seriously: "Then I will believe you." It's just that you don't want her things, forget it, why does she have to cry? ”

Ou Qingjin sighed helplessly: "How do I know why she is crying?" I don't care why she's crying. Anyway, I'm far away from her, and there are people around me watching, it's not me who provoked her. Seeing that Xia Ruixi was still going to ask, he pressed her down and sat down: "Are you finished?" For an outsider and I inexplicably gassed? Is it worth it? ”

Xia Ruixi heard him say that Lin Qingmei was an outsider, so she tilted her head and thought: "Also, isn't she just an outsider?" It's not worth making trouble like the third brother and third sister-in-law for her sake, it would be too stupid. The third brother is too, you all know to avoid suspicion, why doesn't he know? ”

Ou Qing agreed vaguely: "Isn't it, kiss a good wife." I'm so hungry. ”

Xia Ruixi glared: "In the future, you are not allowed to appear within ten zhang of her." You are not allowed to talk to her. No matter who she calls to invite you, you have to pretend that you didn't hear it, you didn't see it, and walk away with your head up proudly. ”

Ou Qingjin frowned and thought about it, this request was a bit difficult, but when he saw Xia Ruixi's fierce eyes, he didn't care if he could do it or not, he immediately agreed.

Xia Ruixi smiled with satisfaction: "You are doing well, let's eat fish tonight." Sour corners, set the rice. ”

At night, Xia Ruixi crouched in Ou Qingjin's arms and said, "If there is anything in the future, you will tell me as soon as possible." If you hide it, although you are well-intentioned, there will be misunderstandings like today, don't you say? ”

Ou Qing thought so.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Ruixi was having breakfast, and Liang'er gloated and reported: "Fourth young grandmother, I heard that the fox spirit is sick." ”

Xia Ruixi's chopsticks paused, and he continued to bury his head in eating. Sick? One out after another, and it's endless. It's a good idea, but it just made a mess, and then she fell ill, and no one can bear to say that she happened, right? Just keep it going?

"Still angry?" Wu's voice sounded at the door.

Four-part small day
