Wanxiang Street Jifu

Xia Xiaoman Ji Lingshu entered the door here, and there was already a letter inside, and Sister-in-law Qi and Sister-in-law Xiao Wei came out with people. Seeing the ceremony, Xiao Wei's sister-in-law smiled at Xia Xiaoman and said, "Grandma came here really early, let's say that Grandma will arrive later." ”

Before Xia Xiaoman could answer, Ji Lingshu's tears were rolling in his eyes, and when he saw his sister-in-law, he stepped forward and said urgently: "What's wrong with my mother?" ”

Sister-in-law Qi came over from Ji Songshu, and she didn't know what Ji Zheng called to send the seventh master, and when she heard Ji Lingshu say this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and she didn't know what she said at all, so she hurriedly glanced at Xia Xiaoman and inquired about it.

Seeing her like this, Xia Xiaoman understood it even more, so he smiled and persuaded Ji Lingshu: "Mrs. Aunt is fine, that 'owe peace' is just an excuse for not wanting to see outsiders." Then he asked them, "Where is my aunt now?" ”

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law replied with a smile: "Uncle Ji, who got up early to see my aunt, is now in the back hall." Miss Table, what's wrong? ”

Xia Xiaoman saw that Ji Ling was dumbfounded, so he pushed her with a smile and said to Xiao Wei's sister-in-law: "It's nothing, Miss Cousin is filial, just now the porter said that Mrs. Auntie owes peace, and she is in a hurry." ”

Ji Lingshu came back to his senses, knew that he was out of shape, blushed slightly, and smiled embarrassedly.

While speaking, Ji Zheng's maid Nafu also came out of the back hall to greet them, and after seeing each other, they went to the back hall to meet Ji Zheng's first, so they went to the front yard to visit Ji Songshu.

Ji Lingshu took Nafu's hand and asked quietly, "Sister Nafu." Mother is okay, right? ”

Nafucci said, "Aunt and Madame are well. Why did the young lady say this? She paused, remembered Fang Cai's matter, and said with a smile: "Miss is afraid that she listened to Fang Cai's words, right?" Miss peace of mind, irrelevant! ”

Knowing that his mother was really fine, Ji Lingshu was relieved, but fortunately it was just a "pretext"...... Under the pretext, she turned to remember that her mother really didn't like the seventh brother. also told her that the seventh brother was of bad character and that she was not allowed to accept his things. But in the bottom of her heart. I always felt that my mother was biased.

The seventh brother is the same as the other brothers of the Nian family, those brothers of the Nian family treat her very well, and they seem to be closer to her than their cousins. Besides, the seventh brother is cool and generous, and he is the most knowledgeable person, and he can always find something she likes, fresh and interesting things for her, and he is not a "bad character". Let's just say today. Although the words he said were indecent, and there was no rhetoric, he was completely sincere, and his sincerity could be seen in every word......

She was thinking about it, and then she heard Nafu ask, "It's warmer today than yesterday, why is Miss wearing such a thick ......?"

Ji Lingshu was thinking about something, so he said casually: "My head is a little heavy in the morning. The second aunt was not at ease, so she asked to wear more. When the words came out, he also noticed it, and hurriedly shook Nafu's arm and said, "Sister, don't tell your mother, save her from worrying, I don't have anything." It'll be fine in a while. ”

Nafu hurriedly said: "This is not a joke, let's ask the doctor to take a look." ”

Ji Lingshu flattened his mouth and said, "It's really nothing." I don't believe you ask my sister-in-law. As he spoke, he went to drag Xia Xiaoman again.

Xia Xiaoman had to laugh and say, "Don't worry, Miss Cousin will take care of her, and it will be fine." It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, according to me, if you can still not eat it, let's go back and boil some ginger soup and Miss Cousin sweat, if she is still not comfortable, let's ask a doctor again. ”

Nafu hurriedly said: "Auntie and grandmother take care of my young lady, what is there to worry about the slave maid!" It's just that...... Listen to your aunt and grandmother. Miss Cousin won't move back today? ”

Xia Xiaoman said: "Doesn't this show that Miss is slightly sick." Uncle Ji here is not just a day, let's think Miss Biao is coming back. Aunt Lao is also distracted and taken care of, so it is better to raise it in our house and come back. Of course, I'll have to ask my aunt and wife for a while. - Oh, by the way, my aunt asked the maid to pack her luggage, and we came out in a hurry in the morning, so we didn't wait. I guess I'll be able to deliver it in a while. ”

Nafu nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful." The slave and maid first waited for the master and thanked him. Madame's luggage is also prepared at home, but there is no hurry, only the lady is here......"

Ji Lingshu was a little impatient, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Sister Nafu, just don't tell my mother about my illness, I have my own theory next to it." - What happened to my brother? ”

"Yes. Slaves and maids are saved. Nafu knew the little nature of his young lady, shook his head with a smile, and said no more, and followed her new topic: "Uncle is also fine." Miss Yesterday also listened, it was all skin injuries, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, so it was fine. I was a little confused last night, but in the morning I was completely clear......"

When she got to the back hall while talking, Ji Zheng's waist was really straight, and her body was great, nothing happened, she smiled and asked everyone to be exempt, and asked Xia Xiaoman how to forgive.

Xia Xiaoman said with a smile: "Aunt Tuo's wife is blessed, and the sixth master is fine." This morning, the old lady summoned the sixth master, and he couldn't withdraw, so he sent Manniang to visit his aunt and Uncle Ji first. The sixth master said that he would come over when he was free, and he hoped that his aunt and wife would not be strange if he was lazy. ”

Ji Zheng hurriedly said: "My family still says this foreign thing. Manniang, you have to persuade him, don't toss back and forth, his legs are better! There's nothing going on here, so don't worry about him! When his cousin is well, ask his cousin to come and see him. ”

Xia Xiaoman responded with a smile. Ji Zheng also found that his daughter was dressed thickly, so he asked.

Ji Lingshu had already thought of the words, opened his mouth, and said: "The spring is cold, and the second aunt is afraid that I will freeze, so I will wear more." I didn't want to brush her up, so I wore it. ”

Ji Zheng knew that the second lady was careful and thoughtful in everything, so he believed it, and asked if the luggage could be moved back. Ji Lingshu only said that the second aunt was afraid that she would come back and cause trouble, and her mother could not take care of her brother with peace of mind, so she left herself in the Nianfu. Xia Xiaoman slammed the side drum on the side, Nafu also helped Yuanhu, and Ji Zheng's thinking and thinking should be answered, and he no longer theorized.

After a few gossips, everyone got up and looked at Ji Songshu.

*

In the warm pavilion, Ji Songshu leaned on the bed on a thick cushion. The head is wrapped, the right arm is placed on the stacked pillow, the front half of the sleeve is raised, the arm is newly pasted with two plasters, but the left hand is holding the book, looking at it with relish.

Listening to the maid come to report "Mrs. Miss and the sixth aunt and grandmother of the young family came to see the uncle", Ji Songshu left the book. Let Ji Qi go out to greet him, and ask the little maid to help him up.

He hadn't stood up yet. This group of people had already come in, and Ji Zheng's family had come to see Ji Songshu once in the morning, and when they saw that he was going to get up to salute, they hurriedly shouted to the maid to wait for him to lie down, and said angrily: "What are you doing?!" Didn't I tell you everything, where was the use of you to greet me?! It's better to lie down than to see any false courtesy! ”

Ji Songshu smiled and apologized for his sins and was placed properly. Xia Xiaoman came over to say hello to Ji Songshu. He also conveyed the condolences of his own leaders and comrades. Ji Songshu politely thanked him.

Ji Lingshu also came to greet her, she looked at the white silk on her brother's head, and the plaster on her arm, her eyes turned red, and she pulled her brother's sleeve, wanting to comfort her but couldn't speak.

When Ji Zheng saw it, he smiled and sat next to his son on the edge of the bed, and hugged his daughter again. I just wanted to speak, but suddenly saw my son on the bed and holding a book on the ground, and I couldn't help but sink my face, and said a little annoyed: "What book are you reading?!" It's never too late to look at it after you've taken care of your body! You're really a fool, after reading so many books, it takes a day or two to cram?! ”

Ji Songshu hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be anxious. Take care of yourself, too. My son is not in a hurry at this time, it's just that, as you said, 'I've read books for so many years', and my son has been reading for a long time, and he is used to it, and it is not always a taste to have nothing to do, so it is better to read books more comfortably. This book is better than medicine for the son. ”

Ji Lingshu listened to it and pursed his lips and smiled. He said, "'The book is like medicine. Reading well heals foolishness. ’”

Ji Songshu laughed and said, "Yes." Great goodness. ”

Ji Zheng looked at the brother and sister. sighed and said in a low voice: "If you have a temper with your father, you can't leave the book for a moment......"

Xia Xiaoman was worried about whether Ji Songshu would be beaten into a concussion or something yesterday, but seeing this situation today, it must be fine, and her heart began to be depressed again, why didn't she get a concussion, she still had to continue to listen to the hoop curse! Moreover, this time is even worse, this house is not a Tang monk's problem, but ...... Two Tang monks......

Seeing that the brother and sister began to discuss academic issues in Martian dialect, Xia Xiaoman was busy and hurriedly withdrew under the pretext that Nian Liuye had a few words to order the servants of the Nian family who stayed in the Ji Mansion to help.

Xia Xiaoman was let to sit in the flower hall on the side, and sent others down, leaving only Xiaowei's sister-in-law, because she asked: "I see that the uncle of the Ji family looks very good, there was nothing wrong last night." ”

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law said: "Auntie and grandmother are relieved, there was that incident yesterday, and then Zhijing sent medicine over, boiled it for Uncle Ji to drink, and it was fine." Uncle Ji is actually just hurting the flesh and skin, and drinking medicine is also to dispel fire, listening to the meaning of the Ji family's big * milk, the plaster is faster than the decoction. Forgive the sin and say, I'm afraid that the fist marks are bruised, and the plaster will be applied to reduce the swelling. ”

Xia Xiaoman nodded with a smile and said, "The sixth master is just worried about this medicine." Since it is better to wipe the floor externally than to take it internally, I will ask someone to go to the doctor yesterday and buy more plasters. You should also pay attention, the sixth master can be concerned about this matter, if it is good or bad here, go and reply in time. ”

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, that's a certainty." ”

Changping Street Nianfu

Nian Liang beat the old lady and came back, sulking in his stomach.

In the morning, the fourth master listened to the ninth master's recount, and trained him solidly. As soon as he spoke up this year, the fourth master took it and gave Nian Liang a few words, obviously persuading him to recuperate with peace of mind, but he was really afraid that he was messing around.

is not only an elder, but also a loss of his own family, and it is not easy to argue in the old age, so he has to listen to the training obediently, and the ninth master has nothing to say.

If the fourth master hadn't rushed to work in the ministry, he would probably be able to scold them all morning, and when the time came, he wouldn't talk to them anymore.

When he got to the old lady's side, Nian Yufu still reported some ideas, trying to move the old lady, not to say justice to Ji Songshu, but only to teach Lang Yanei a lesson, so as not to lose face in the Nian family.

As a result, the old lady angrily reprimanded: "Although this dynasty does not punish crimes with words, the Ji family is unconscious and speaks wildly. Be blamed! Do you still think he was wronged? This matter is in front of the emperor, what reason can be taken advantage of?! The face of the Nian family? If the Nian family goes to reason with the Lang family about this matter, then the party is stupid and not decent! ”

He reprimanded the Ninth Master again: "It turned out to be you!" The money with you is to let you meet friends with literature, learn from each other, so that you can have a benefit, but you will be used to being a slurrel! Who are you making friends with?! Lang Zixu?! What a old man! Your father was the end of the earth. Even after the test, you don't have to go out, and then theorize when you pass the test! ”

For this result. Nian Liang and Jiu Ye are actually mentally prepared, but when it comes to this time, they still feel extremely depressed.

Out of Fushoutang, Nian Yu was full of apologies and said to the ninth master: "It's a burden on the ninth brother......"

The ninth master hurriedly said: "The sixth brother can break me by saying this." It turned out to be mine, I was tired of Brother Ji, I didn't say it, and I was tired of Brother Ji and was reprimanded. This grounding is nothing, and these days should be a good time to review the book. It's just that I can't visit Brother Ji's side, if it's okay, the sixth brother will also send me a letter, and I will feel more at ease. ”

Nian forgiveness: "That's nature! The ninth brother doesn't have to worry about that side, just Wen Shu. ”

The brothers were polite again, and then parted and went back to their respective hospitals.

Nian Liang returned to the Eternal Residence, and only then did he change out of his coat, and someone came to report. Dawei's housekeeper has been waiting for the sixth master for a long time.

Ji family's local affairs, Nian Liang did not let Da Wei's housekeeper Wei Di intervene, he has always asked Xiao Wei's housekeeper Wei Kai to be busy, but Wei Di didn't think that what Wei Di said had something to do with last night.

Wei Di has been working as a comprador and knows a lot of friends from various walks of life. Today, a horse seller came to him in Baisheng, saying that he had received a young horse early in the morning.

He said that it was dawn today. As soon as the Thirteen Mile Lane Horse Market opened, there was a man in shabby clothes who came to sell a good horse, obviously not knowing the market, and not knowing the asking price, so he only asked the guy how many taels of silver he gave. When the young man saw that the mark on the horse's buttocks had been burned, and the wound had not yet healed, as if it had just been burned, he suspected that it was a stolen horse, so he first took a word to stabilize him, and found an experienced tooth man to see.

The horsetooth seller examined it carefully. In the hind legs of the horse, an inconspicuous one was found, and a small brand was found. The tooth man does this line of work. Recognizing the marks of the major families of Daqin is the basic skill, and he knows that it is the family emblem of the year. And he took the word against the man.

The man insisted that it was his own horse, but when he was asked about the lack of words, he changed his story and said that there was a guest staying at his house, and because he lacked money, he gave the horse to his house and exchanged it for ten taels of silver.

Where would the tooth man believe that he was such a dressed man who was willing to exchange ten taels of silver for a horse, and he was afraid that he would not have the family assets of ten taels of silver, so he bluntly said that the horse was stolen and that he wanted to twist him and send him to the official. The man panicked, and then said that he had picked up the horse.

The man said that there was a knock at the door in the middle of the night last night, and when he went out to take a look, he saw that it was a horse, and there was no one on the whole street, so he took it as a gift from heaven and picked up a windfall for nothing. He didn't recognize the brand of the horse's hind buttocks, but he also knew that he couldn't keep it, so he burned firewood to burn the brand, and he was afraid that the owner would come to him to ask for it, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly took it out and sold it early this morning.

After the man finished speaking, he begged in every possible way, asking the tooth man to raise his noble hand and let him go, not to send him to the official, but he escaped while the tooth man was discussing with his buddy. The tooth man detained the horse, and he was a thief, and he didn't chase him, because he recognized Wei Di, so he led the Ma Nian Mansion to find Wei Di to recognize him.

Although Wei Di did not participate in the affairs of the Ji family yesterday, he also knew a thing or two, and his horse fell and was injured, and the movement was not small, so he got the horse, and first asked the little servant who followed Nian Liang to the Ji Mansion yesterday to recognize it, and confirmed that it was the horse that Qi Yu rode out yesterday, and then he went back and forth to forgive the New Year.

After hearing this, Nian asked him, "Is there any injury to the horse's legs and feet?" ”

Wei Di shook his head and said, "No." The horse was burned on the back of the buttocks, but there was no wound on his body. ”

Nian Liang frowned, the horses were not injured in their legs and feet, so how did they fall? He galloped away......

"I want to find the man who came to sell the horse first. He said in a deep voice. That person, I'm afraid it's either a thief or a murderer.

Wei Di was afraid that he would say this. In fact, after listening to the tooth man's speech, he scolded in his heart,—— why don't you look at people, in case it is a thief ......! But when people kindly sent a letter, he was annoyed again, how could he say anything, he had to thank him, and thank him for a red envelope.

He knew that the sixth master and ten ** wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the person, but when the tooth man came to look for him, the people on the door looked at him, and he really couldn't help but report it, so he had to come over hard.

Sure enough, the master said, looking for the man.

This person has run away, the huge capital, looking for such a broken settlement, how can he find a way!

Wei Di looked embarrassed and didn't dare to pick up.

Nian Liang's face was pale, and he only said: "Reward money, ask those tooth people to find it." I'm going to turn that man out for me. ”

Wei Di had no choice, so he had to respond first, thinking in his heart and dragging it out first, anyway, the master also knew that this search was not a matter of a while.

Thinking like this, he didn't worry too much, he just ran to the horse market in the next morning, explained to those tooth people, and handed a message to the catchers he was familiar with in Fuze Mansion, and then he threw away his hand and ignored it.

It's really right not to be in a hurry, when it's time to hold the lamp, the master will send a message to him again, and there is no need to find that person.

At the time of the lamp, his fever subsided and he woke up.

Nian Liang asked him how he fell, and he said that he didn't know, and that the horse was frightened when he saw the spark flash, and he jumped and stood upside down, and he fell on his head and fainted, and he didn't know anything more.

He thought for a long time and said, "Thinking about it now, maybe the coals on the street lamp were scattered, and the horse was burned, and the horse was shocked when it hurt." ”

Nian Liang sent someone to carefully examine the horse's body, and sure enough, he found a piece of money on the horse's neck, and burned it the size of an eye.
