Under Xia Jin's treatment, Mrs. Wu'an Hou was able to sit and lie down freely, and now she was no longer lying on the bed, occasionally asking the maid to help her up and take a walk, or sitting on a chair covered with thick soft cushions. (800) / It was the middle of winter, and there was a wall of fire on one side of the house, and there was a kang underneath, and the whole house was as warm as spring. Afraid that she would get chills, there was a brazier with silver charcoal in the room. The old lady of Wu'anhou, dressed in a warm fox fur jacket, with a cotton-covered embroidered forehead on her head, and a delicate silver hand stove in her arms, was sitting there comfortably, listening to the Duchess of Weiguo ask her maid about her food and clothing.

Xia Jin walked to the door, did not go in, but made a gesture to the maid guarding the door, and stood there quietly listening to the conversation inside.

It was Mama Lu who spoke: "...... Since taking the county lord's medicine, the old lady's illness has been getting better day by day. The food on these two days is also fragrant, and you can eat most of the bowl in one meal. I also sleep peacefully at night, and I don't wake up in the middle of the night as often as before. Madame, looking at the appearance of our old lady, is much better than the original spirit. ”

A faint sigh came from inside, and an unfamiliar voice sounded: "So sister, you can take care of your body with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about it anymore." Brother Luan has already gone, and it's useless for you to think about him anymore. Now it seems that Brother Xian'er and Brother Xian's daughter-in-law are not without conscience, you treated him like this before, he can still honor you, and you should be content. You just look at your house, the food is all carefully used, and the idle brother and daughter-in-law have cured your illness, what do you want? Isn't this an elder just a child to be filial? ”

There was a "uh-uh-uh" sound from inside the room. It was obvious that Mrs. Wu'an Hou was excited by the words of Duchess Wei Guo and wanted to express her meaning. She couldn't speak, she could only make this sound. This is because Xia Jin was afraid that she would make a bewitching child at the wedding, so he used her to treat her illness. directly sealed her dumb hole. Mrs. Wu'an Hou has been like this since she woke up from a serious illness, so everyone didn't notice anything wrong, they just thought that her condition was not well.

"What does she mean by that?" Duchess Wei asked.

"This ...... The old slave is not clear either. Mama Lu's voice came from inside.

When Xia Jin heard this, he no longer hesitated, and signaled to the maid guarding the door. Mrs. Wu Anhou can't speak, but that doesn't mean she can't express her wishes in writing. (800) Those who should have heard it also heard it, and knew that Duchess Wei Guo was kind to her and Su Muxian. That's enough. Wait a little longer. The hour was getting late.

This maid was also clever, and immediately said loudly: "Waiting master, madam." Then he went up and opened the curtain.

Su Muxian was the first to enter the house. Xia Jin followed.

A wave of heat hits your face.

The two hurriedly untied their cloaks and gave them to the maid to hold, and then walked in.

"Mother." Su Muxian first called Mrs. Wu'an Hou, and then saw Duchess Weiguo, who seemed a little surprised. smiled, "My cousin really has a heart." Coming to see my mother so early? ”

Duchess Wei Guo didn't care about it, and when she saw Su Muxian and Xia Jin coming in, she stood up, and said with a smile: "Your mother wrote to me yesterday. said that she didn't have any relatives, and I was the one who was close to the capital, so she called me over. Have a cup of daughter-in-law tea together. Brother Xian won't be disgusted with his cousin coming uninvited, right? As he spoke, his eyes circled around Xia Jin.

Xia Jin only had a smile on his face. There was no sound.

"Where, it's our honor for my cousin to come." Su Mu said casually, and made another gesture, "Cousin, please sit down, let Jin'er toast you a cup of tea." But I have to say it first, after drinking my daughter-in-law's tea, I have to give a meeting gift, this gift is too thin, and I don't follow my nephew. ”

Duchess Wei Guo glanced at him with disgust: "How can there be such a faceless and skinless person who stretches out his hand to meet him?" If you want it, you dare to pick the fat and the thin, you are really capable! ”

The conversation between the two is overflowing with intimacy.

Old Madam Wu Anhou's face sank obviously.

The former Duchess of Weiguo came to see her and almost never met Su Muxian, although she occasionally spoke for Su Muxian in order to relieve her, but she was still more sympathetic to her experience. She never expected her cousin to have such an attitude towards Su Muxian.

When the Duchess of Weiguo sat down next to the old lady in Wu'an, Zi Man served a cup of tea. However, when she handed it to Xia Jin, she glanced at her with deep meaning.

Xia Jin didn't seem to see it, but when he reached out to take the tea tray, his little finger was a little on the cup without a trace, and the rice in his nails fell into the cup, instantly blending into the tea, and disappeared.

She walked in front of Mrs. Wu'anhou, knelt on the brocade mat that Mama Lu put on the ground, raised her hand to raise the tea tray, and handed it to Mrs. Wu'anhou: "Mother-in-law, please drink tea." ”

Old Mrs. Wu Anhou stared at the cup of tea, her body was motionless, and she seemed to be in a daze.

Seeing this, Duchess Wei frowned and reminded, "Cousin, the county lord will give you tea." ”

Old lady Wu Anhou blinked and came back to her senses.

She slowly reached out to pick up the cup of tea. But when her fingers touched the teacup, she quickly retracted as if she had been burned.

"Is the tea hot?" Duchess Wei Guo turned her head to look at Zi Man, "How do you make tea?" Why do you pour such hot tea for the county lord? Burning the old lady, whose fault is it? I see that you have bad intentions and want to provoke the relationship between the old lady and the county lord, right? When it comes to the latter words, it is very harsh.

Zi Man's face changed suddenly in fright, and he knelt down hurriedly: "The slave doesn't dare." The tea slave tried it, but it wasn't hot. So saying, she stretched out her hand, "Or, the slave maid will go and change another glass." ”

Xia Jin was about to hand the tray to Ziman, when he heard the old lady Wu Anhou cry out "uh-uh......". She turned her head to look and saw that the old lady of Wu Anhou stretched out her hand, trying her best to serve the cup of tea in her hand. A cold glint flashed in Xia Jin's eyes, and he changed his mind in an instant.

She avoided Mrs. Wu'anhou's hand and smiled at her: "Mother, this tea is hot, you wait a while, I'll let the maid change it, don't worry." As he spoke, he stuffed the tray into Ziman's hand, and said with a sinking face, "Hurry up and change a cup that is not hot." The old lady is good-natured, and you can't be too lazy. ”

A hint of joy flashed on Ziman's face, and he hurriedly took the tray into his hand, got up and went out to make tea again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu'an Hou was in a hurry, stretched out her arm and beckoned to Ziman, and kept calling "ahhhhhhh

Duchess Wei persuaded her: "Cousin, wait a while, just a while." ”

Xia Jin reached out and took a plate of dim sum from the table next to him, handed it to Mrs. Wu Anhou, and said with a smile: "Mother, do you want to eat a dim sum first?" ”

The old lady of Wu'an Hou swept it with her hand, and with a "bang", the plate of dim sum fell to the ground, and the cup made of glass fell to pieces.

Duchess Wei frowned slightly, and raised her eyes to glance at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin was stunned for a moment, and immediately blamed himself: "I'm sorry, it's me who didn't hold it steady." ”

Su Muxian had a calm face and shouted to the maid: "What are you doing with a pestle?" Why don't you hurry up and clean up? ”

After the maid in the house cleaned up the broken glass and snacks on the ground, and changed the brocade mat again, Ziman came in with another cup of tea, handed it to Xia Jin, and said carefully: "The slave has tried it, and this time it is not hot." ”

Xia Jin nodded, knelt down again, and lifted the tray: "Mother, please use tea." ”

"Jingle bells", Wu Anhou swept the sleeves of the old lady, and the cup of tea poured down Xia Jin's face.

"Ah......," exclaimed the Duchess and the maids.

"Jin'er!" Su Muxian stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Jin away from there, and the tea tray and teacup fell to the ground together, making a screeching sound.

Su Muxian glared at the old lady of Wu'an Hou angrily: "I don't know what you want to do, you used to want my life, and now you want to ruin my wife's appearance." You don't want to see you, and we don't force it, and we won't come to this courtyard again in the future. He turned his head to Duchess Wei Guo and said, "Cousin, you have seen all this. It's not that I'm not filial, it's just that I can't live this life. When there are rumors outside, please speak fairly. With that, he pulled Xia Jin and walked out.

After going out of the hospital, Su Muxian was still annoyed, and Xia Jin persuaded him: "Don't be angry, with my skills, how can she burn me." ”

Su Muxian took a deep breath and said to Xia Jin with a slow expression: "Get on the sedan chair." ”

Xia Jin shook his head: "No, I want to walk slowly." ”

Su Muxian was not reluctant, and ordered those mothers-in-law to carry the sedan chair to follow behind, and then get on the sedan chair when Xia Jin was tired. He took Xia Jin's hand and walked slowly in the mansion.

The calamus is also interested, and motions for everyone to stay away.

Xia Jin didn't mention the matter of Mrs. Wu'anhou, and said, "I think Duchess Weiguo is not bad. ”

A sneer appeared on Su Muxian's face: "She just knows the current affairs." You and I are in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, is the Holy Lady Zhenglong, is she not on our side and will help the old lady? Even if she wanted to, Wei Guogong didn't agree. She was originally close to Princess Yan, although the emperor was not good at investigating the responsibility of the Weiguo Mansion, but he was sure that he didn't like it. She is taking advantage of this matter to want me to say good things for Wei Guogong in front of the emperor. How much is cousinship worth in her heart? ”

"That's just as well." Xia Jin nodded.

Su Muxian stopped, looked at the withered lotus pond not far away, and sighed long: "Old lady, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I will ask someone to arrange her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and serve her for the rest of her life. But I won't see her again. ”

Xia Jin didn't speak, stared at him quietly for a while, and reached out to caress Su Muxian's handsome cheek.

Su Muxian hugged her tightly in his arms.

The two stood there for a long time, neither moving nor speaking.

Because Su Muxian got married, the emperor gave him a three-day vacation. But that afternoon, he still had something to go out. As soon as he left on the front foot, Xia Jin went to Xining Courtyard on the back foot, but he didn't go in, and directly asked the mother-in-law guarding the door to call Mama Lu out and ask her, "How many years have you been with the old lady?" How much do you know about the old lady? ”
