Volume 3 A Thousand Poems of Autumn Colors 23, Charm and Charm (3)

The twenty-seventh day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Yongning

Nian Liang has something in his heart, he doesn't sleep very well, he wakes up early in the morning, lies on his back and thinks about things for a while, and vaguely hears the clothes outside the tent, so he called: "Full mother? ”

Xia Xiaoman woke up and felt that his throat was a little dry, so he got up and put on his clothes, and was going to the table to find tea to drink, when he heard Nian Liang calling her, he hurriedly swallowed the tea, came to the bedside, picked up the tent, and said, "It's here." What's the matter? Want tea? Get up? ”

Nian Liang snorted, but said: "You woke up early...... "When there is movement on his side, she will wake up on her side." And she was very tired yesterday, and not long after the maids placed her to lie down and withdrew, they heard her long breathing, and she was already asleep, and he said that she would wake up later today.

Xia Xiaoman laughed dryly. Last year, Nian Liang insisted on sleeping after Jing sent the medicine back and talked back, she waited with her, although she didn't stay up late before, but she came here for a month, there was no entertainment at night, and she often slept at ** o'clock, and got up at four or five o'clock the next day, and it had formed a rule. Xu is sleeping too solidly, relieving fatigue, Xu is biological clock is too strong, and he will wake up automatically at a certain point, Xu is too hot in the house, and his throat is dry and he wakes up with thirst...... In short, waking up early is not what she wants......

She only said: "Dry throat, drink saliva to moisten ......" and asked him: "Do you get up?" ”

Nian Liang nodded, Xia Xiaoman turned around and went out to call the maids to come in and serve. Nian Liang let the maids serve and dress, thought about it, and said to Xia Xiaoman: "Later, I will go back to the fourth uncle before he goes to the ministry to talk to him about yesterday's cousin." People were brought out by the ninth brother, but it was my idea, and if I didn't go over, the ninth brother would definitely be trained. I have to go to the old lady's side when I go back---- Bai Xi is not free, go back and go to Wanxiang Street to see what is going on with my cousin......"

Xia Xiaoman was raising his arm to let Fennel help tie his skirt, and when he heard this, he replied smoothly, waiting for Fennel to be done. She put down her hand and pulled off her shirt, and said to Nian, "What about Miss Cousin?" Are you moving back today? I'm sending her over? ”

Nian Liang hadn't thought of Ji Lingshu before. I'll hear her talk about it now. After a pause, he said, "You better go to the second aunt and ask first." Look at the meaning of the second aunt. ”

Wash up. The little maid put breakfast on the table, and just sat down here, and someone came to report there, "Master, I came over and talked back, and explained that his father was setting up dinner here, but he said that the master ordered him to ......"

Nian Liang waved his hand and called in. Yesterday, when he returned from delivering the medicine, he told him to take care of him. Tell him to get up early and report his situation.

Zhijing entered the door, saluted, and said, "If you go back to your master, when the little one came back last night, the doctor had already grafted the bones for him." It's dislocated. It's not a big deal. It's just that he knocked his head, and the doctor said that there was no injury to the touch. But the man never woke up. In the end, the child has been lying in the field for a long time, suffering from the wind and cold, and there is a fever in the middle of the night, and the little ones pry open his teeth and pour medicine to the ground, and they also drink half and vomit and half vomit. After sweating all night, it's a little stronger now. In the morning, his teeth were not so tight, and it was not difficult to irrigate, and if he could take the medicine, he would be fine. Please be relieved. ”

Nian Liang sighed and said, "Got it." You take care of him, if you still have a fever in the next morning, you will find a doctor to come and see, and tell the doctor not to have any scruples about medicine, and grab the money from the medicine and go to Qingying. As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at the green cherry blossoms.

Qing Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, the slave can save it." And in a moment, he will go with them first with the money. ”

He thanked his master for his grace and retired with a gift.

Nian Liang sighed in his heart, he had been with him for seven or eight years, and he was the most trustworthy, he still thought that he would become a housekeeper when he was older, but he didn't want to suffer this unwarranted disaster, if he survived this catastrophe, he would definitely be allowed a future. I thought, what kind of accident is it? Is it really careless? Did the gangsters do it on purpose? I can't wake up, so I can only take more precautions now......

He thought so stunned, the spoon in his hand was motionless in the porridge bowl, and Qing Sakura saw it on the side and sighed.

She knows best that her grandfather is both short-term and old-fashioned, and he is considered an old man who lives forever, loyal and does things properly, and now that he is in trouble, his master must be uncomfortable. She comforted him with a smile and said: "Ye is not too worried, I just said that if you can drink the medicine, you can get better." There is also a saying that after a great calamity, there will be a blessing. This is loyal and good, and after this difficulty, it will be an endless blessing. And relieved. ”

Nian Liang snorted, turned his head to look at Qingying for a long time, remembered the old things, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, only smiled indifferently, shook his head, and took a bowl of porridge. Master, Xia Xiaoman packed up and set off to go to the Yanhui residence to worship the second lady. If she is in a hurry, she should also be in a hurry---- and she must pass before the second lady asks the old lady to say goodbye.

When she arrived at Yan Huiju, she asked the second lady to say goodbye, Xia Xiaomandao was the sixth master who asked her to visit Wanxiang Street, and asked Ji Lingshu tentatively how to settle here.

The second lady said: "Lingshu was also tired yesterday and slept deeply, so I instructed the maid to tell her to fall asleep and not to wake her up." Ask her what she means later. Alas, this child is also a little stubborn, and she is worried about her brother, and I am afraid that she will not be able to keep her,...... That's it, let her be, if she is in a hurry to go back, you can take her back first, here tell the maids to pack their things first, and then send them with her luggage. ”

The second lady likes Ji Lingshu very much in her heart, and watching her play the piano and discuss poetry, she can always think of her well-behaved and clever daughter.

Xia Xiaoman responded, and the second lady asked Nian Liang if he was tired from going out last night, how his body was and how his legs were, and Xia Xiaoman answered them one by one. Qingmian came over to talk back and said, "Miss Biao is up." However, the slave maid listened to the meaning of the star, and Miss Biao was not very cool. ”

The second lady frowned and said, "This child, how sick is he and he can't speak!" As he spoke, he got up and took Xia Xiaoman to the east chamber to look at Ji Lingshu.

Ji Lingshu ate and drank last night. After crying bitterly, there was a cold wind blowing on the road, because I was so sleepy, I went back to my room and lay down to sleep, this hot and cold was intense, and I had a headache when I got up in the morning. Knowing that she had slept for an hour, she was also a little flustered, and hurriedly asked the maid to fetch water and serve her to dress. It's not packed up yet. The second lady brought Xia Xiaoman over. You can't tell the second lady to wait, and she doesn't have a neat hair. I had to quickly put my hair in a bun. And they went out of the hall to meet them.

The second lady looked at her like this, and hurriedly took her hand and took her into the house. Straight said: "It's cold outside, your body is not cool, don't suffer the wind anymore." When he sat her down, he asked her how she felt and asked the doctor to come and see her.

Ji Lingshu hurriedly said no, saying that his head was just a little heavy, and it was not in the way, and shouted that he would serve tea with the stars and the moon.

The second lady waved her hand and said, "There is no need to serve tea, and I will go to the old lady to say goodbye in a while." Since you are sick. According to me, don't go out, it's good to give birth to a rΓ¬, Manniang will go to your house in a while, and turn around and let her bring you a letter. ”

Ji Lingshu pursed his lips. Think about it. Still said: "The second aunt can save the spiritual book, but the spiritual book is still not at ease with my brother's side...... The spiritual book is also bothering the second aunt. I should have moved out a long time ago, but now it's ......"

The second lady interrupted her and said, "Your aunt can also save your mind, but you are sick now, why are you in a hurry to move?" If you are worried about your brother, wear thicker clothes for a while, go to take a look with Manniang, and feel at ease, then come back to recuperate, and then leave, how about it? Saying this, he raised his chin and glanced at Xia Xiaoman.

Xia Xiaoman's words were full of amazement when he heard the second lady talk about Ji Lingshu before, but now when he saw these words, he peeked at her expression, and he also counted it in his heart, so he immediately laughed and persuaded: "Miss Cousin, it's not my turn to speak here, but I have to say a word, just say that you listen to such a reason, Uncle Ji is also sick over there, you go over like this, and Mrs. Ji has to take care of Uncle Ji and take care of you distractedly, but you are busy on both sides, you don't care about yourself, and you have to think about it for Mrs. Ji." You are here, with our wife taking care of you, needless to say, your body is well raised, this aunt is also at ease with you, so that you can take care of Uncle Ji with peace of mind, don't you say? ”

Ji Lingshu lowered his head and thought about it, his head was sinking now, if the illness passed, the family would definitely have to divide up to take care of himself, so he had to be busy, so he should stay here and recover from his illness first. The second lady treats her very well, and she knows that there is nothing unrealistic about living. So he nodded, and said to the second lady with a smile: "It's true that the little sister-in-law said that the geography is not easy, and the spirit book is not in trouble, the second aunt is not strange, and this will have to bother for a while......"

The second lady smiled and patted her hand, and said, "Silly child, what kind words do you say, you can stay as long as you want, my aunt can't ask for it!" As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Xia Xiaoman and nodded with satisfaction.

The smile on Xia Xiaoman's face became brighter and brighter, and she was relieved, she was still afraid that Tang Seng would be tough with her, and then throw two more sentences of Sage Yun Buddha Yun and shoot her there. Fortunately, Tang Seng still spoke the earth dialect, well, it is estimated that he is sick and does not have the physical strength to drag Martian with her......

The second lady appeased Ji Lingshu a few more words, and then went to the old lady's side, and before leaving, she told Xia Xiaoman to take care of Ji Lingshu. Xia Xiaoman didn't have a word to respond, so he almost raised his right hand and swore that he would live up to the expectations of the leadership.

After the second lady left, Xia Xiaoman asked Ji Lingshu where he was uncomfortable, and heard that it was a headache, Xia Xiaoman confessed, reached out and touched her forehead, it was not hot, it was estimated that it was just a wind, not like a fever, so he said: "If you don't like to drink medicine, you don't want to drink medicine, you think about your brother, just go with me to take a look, and then come back to drink a bowl of ginger soup, cover the quilt and sleep, and sleep well." ”

Ji Lingshu nodded obediently, asked Xia Xiaoman to sit down for a while, and told the maid to come over and comb her hair.

Xia Xiaoman asked someone to make some porridge and side dishes for Ji Lingshu in the kitchen, and sat next to him while teasing the cat and waiting for her. At the end, she went out with Ji Lingshu, who was wrapped like a bear, and headed for Wanxiang Street.

When you go out early in the morning, you can still meet a lot of acquaintances.

I could see the gate of Jifu from afar, and the chief of the car followed him outside the curtain and whispered: "Aunt nǎinǎi, the seventh master of our family is in front." ”

Xia Xiaoman subconsciously didn't turn her head to look at Ji Lingshu sitting beside her, she didn't have any expression on her face, and only said, "Seventh brother is here." Sensing that Xia Xiaoman was looking at her, she was still a little curious, and blinked: "Little sister-in-law? ”

Xia Xiaoman waved his hand. Hurriedly said: "Nothing, nothing." Then he looked outside and said, "Don't worry, let's go." ”

The seventh master was blocked at the door of Ji's house.

He rushed to "visit the sick", and the porter went in to report, but when he came back after a while, he said that the uncle was sick and it was inconvenient to see guests. He said again that he wanted to see his aunt and wife, and the porter slowly sent the letter inside, and he didn't come out for a long time.

He was a little impatient and cursed in his heart. There is always a rì with the surname of the master, you have to look good! Suddenly, I heard the sound of horseshoe axles. Twist your head. I saw the carriage of the Nian family.

He saw that it was a person from the Immortal Residence who was following the car, and he said that he would forgive him. Secretly scolded in his heart, he had to take a few steps forward, and the past salute was also the meaning of being a brother.

The people who followed the car saw that it was the master of the family, and they came over to salute, and the seventh master also pretended to be kind and called for free courtesy, but in fact, he didn't look at who was who at all, and he didn't pay attention to how many maids and women came out, so he walked to the front of the carriage, and was waiting to say that the sixth brother was safe. Unexpectedly, the curtain of this car was lifted, but it was Xia Xiaoman who came out of it.

His arm was raised, and when he saw Xia Xiaomansheng pause, he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and then put his arm down.

Xia Xiaoman helped his mother-in-law get out of the car. smiled and accepted a blessing. called the seventh master to be well, and then turned around and went to the car to help Ji Lingshu.

The seventh master looked at Xia Xiaoman. The smile was a little stiff, and she was busy saying goodbye, and when she saw her turn around and say that she was in the carriage, she squeezed out a flattering smile again, and craned her neck to look inside.

As a result, it was not the sixth master of the sick seedling who came out, but the beautiful girl Miss Ji.

The seventh master's smile instantly became extremely bright, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, and also reached out to help her get out of the car, and said softly: "Sister Lingshu is also here......"

Xia Xiaoman had goosebumps all over his body when he heard his movements, and he didn't tremble, and when Yu Guang saw that his hand was stretched out, he casually staggered slightly, grabbed Ji Lingshu's arms with both hands, and pulled her out of the car. The seventh master raised his arm and fell into the air again, and the open five fingers turned into fists in an instant, and he retracted his side with hatred.

Ji Lingshu stood firmly on the ground, and then accepted Wanfu uprightly, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother is well." ”

The seventh master smiled like a flower, and said, "Okay." Good. Seeing that she was dressed in thick clothes, she asked again: "It's all chΕ«n, the sky is about to be warm, why are you still wearing such a thick one?" Sister Lingshu is cold. But it just so happened that I just got a good piece of leather before, and I can't use it at home, and I'm afraid that I will be ruined with someone who doesn't deserve to wear it. Now it's given to my sister, but it's just right! I'll send it to you later, make a short jacket, and wear it warmly without looking cumbersome. ”

Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes in her heart, was it okay to see Ji Lingshu yesterday, she was dressed so much yesterday? Tsk, this is really just looking at the picture and talking, what do you say when you see Ji Lingshu!

Ji Lingshu said with a smile: "Thank you Seventh Brother for remembering, Lingshu is fine, it's not cold, Seventh Brother doesn't have to bother." ”

The Seventh Master smiled: "Where is the trouble!" My sister's willingness to accept it is to give me a big face! ”

As he spoke, his peach blossom face turned into bitter hatred in an instant, and his tone was painful, and he said: "Brother Ji, sister don't be too sad, what's the matter, and your brothers!" Yes, your sixth brother's legs and feet are not very convenient, and your ninth brother is busy with his studies, but there is still me! If there is anything, you just come to my brother and me, no matter how difficult it is, my brother will do it for you! ”

Referring to her eldest brother, Ji Lingshu's eyes turned a little red again, listening to the sincerity of the seventh master, she nodded hurriedly, reluctantly smiled, and said, "Lingshu thanked the seventh brother first......"

The little appearance of the general crying and not crying saw that the seventh master was stunned, his heart was itchy, and his hands were itching, so he wanted to go to the Ji Lingshu.

Xia Xiaoman automatically entered the state of watching the play on the side, just look at the seventh master's skillful performance "face changing" technique, tsk, you said that this big-tailed wolf has changed a few faces in less than this minute? Hey, the master of Sichuan opera is at this level, right......

When he noticed that the seventh master ignored his shepherd dog and went straight to the little sheep Ji Lingshu, the green tendons on Xia Xiaoman's forehead jumped a little, this is not good, he must bark twice to show his existence.

Xia Xiaoman pulled Ji Lingshu with one hand and patted her on the back, not only to comfort her, but also to show her own caretaker duties, and said to the seventh master with a smile: "Thank you Seventh Master for thinking about the sixth master, it's just a cousin's family matter, and the sixth master can still take care of it, so I don't dare to bother the seventh master." There is the sentence of the seventh master, and the sixth master is full of hospitality. The seventh master can rest assured, if there is a need in the future, he will definitely ask the seventh master for help. ”

Before the seventh master stretched out his hand, he took it back again, gritted his teeth secretly, and had to smile on his face, the bitter hatred turned into righteousness, and said: "Aunt Xia is polite, I can't write two words in one stroke, shouldn't I share my brother's worries." ”

Xia Xiaoman pouted in his heart, and said with a smile: "Seventh Master is benevolent!" Then he quickly changed the topic and ended the battle, and said, "Hey, it's weirdly cold, why are you standing here, Seventh Master?" Is this going back? As soon as we arrived, we won't be far away to see off the seventh master. You walk slowly. Saying that, he blessed his body, and pulled down Ji Lingshu, Ji Lingshu didn't know why, seeing Xia Xiaoman say this, he also saluted and said goodbye.

The little white face of the seventh master turned black at the bottom of the pot again, and just thought that I hadn't entered yet, and the porter inside came over to reply, saying: "Aunt and Mrs. owe peace, and it is said that I have thanked the seventh master for my thoughts, and it is inconvenient to see each other, please ask Haihan, change it and thank you again." ”

As soon as Ji Lingshu heard that his mother was sick, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with my mother?" ”

Xia Xiaoman guessed that it was Ji Zheng's perfunctory seventh master, and he was busy cooperating with the acting, and said hurriedly: "Miss Cousin, go and take a look." He smiled at the Seventh Master and said, "Seventh Master, look, it's really inconvenient to send you, please take care of yourself, let's go in." As he spoke, his footsteps moved, and he pulled Ji Lingshu and walked towards the door.

As soon as the seventh master wanted to say something, the maid and the maid who followed the class, the little maid, came over with a group of people to salute the seventh master, and then went in one after another, and in the blink of an eye, he was left outside the door, and a housekeeper, two small servants, three attendants, seven people and seven horses. The concierge on the opposite side made a gesture, with an eternal honest smile, and greeted and sent off.

The cold wind blew, the cold was blowing, and it was empty.

The seventh master stood in place for half the weather, the little guy came over and asked where to go, the seventh master squeezed out the words from between his teeth, and said, "Go to Lao Chen." ”
