As soon as I hid the book here, I heard footsteps walking in from outside, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Shu Shi was the first to come in, followed by a woman in her thirties.

"Yo, Brother Qi is also here?" When the woman saw Xia Qi, she was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "At this hour, why doesn't Brother Qi go to school yet?" Your fourth and seventh brothers have long since left. ”

"Oh, I'll leave right away." Xia Qi looked at the sky, and only then did he panic, hurriedly picked up the schoolbag on the table, raised his feet and rushed out of the door, "Second aunt, goodbye." Mother, sister, I'm leaving. When the voice fell, the man was already in the courtyard.

"This kid is frizzy." Shu Shi said angrily.

The second wife, Wei Shi, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Third brother and sister, don't say that, Brother Qi'er's child, usually looks at Si Swenwen, and he doesn't say a word, but last night I saw him talking to Brother Qi, it was really a sentence on top, and in two moments, Brother Qi admitted what he did." This kid has a future. ”

Shu Shi was still smiling, but his smile was a little reluctant. Obviously, the second wife mentioned this, which reminded her of the old lady's partiality, and she was very unhappy.

It was only at this time that the second wife's eyes fell on Xia Jin on the bed, and she came over and asked kindly, "Sister Jin, do you feel better?" He waved backwards.

A maid came up and handed her the burden she was carrying. She took it, opened the baggage, revealing the bird's nest inside, turned her head and smiled at Shu's family: "Yesterday, I knew that Sister Jin was sick, so I asked people to go back to my mother's house and asked my mother's brother to ask for some bird's nest for Sister Jin to eat." It's not a first-class product, and you don't want to dislike it. ”

"Second sister-in-law, what do you say?" The unhappy expression on Shu's face was gone, replaced by a look of gratitude, and she pushed the burden back, "If you have this thing, I won't say anything, take it for Sister Jin." But that's what you want when you go to your mother's house! No matter what, we won't have it to that extent, making it difficult for you to do it, go back to your parents' house and ask for things. I don't have the face to accept this, so take it back. ”

"I've taken it back, how can I take it back? This is for my niece, and you have no right to refuse. The second wife said, and simply put the burden on Xia Jin's bed.

"Second sister-in-law, you also know that I am stupid and can't make any big sense. I have received your wishes, but I can't ask for this bird's nest anyway. Your body is not good, my brother is young and very thin, if you don't take this thing back to your parents' house, it's good to keep it for yourself. Shu Shi said, turned around and opened a cabinet at the head of the bed, took out a small packet of things, and handed it to the second wife, "Well, I also went to buy one or two bird's nests yesterday, and Sister Jin is eating it." Yours you take back. ”

"Really?" The second lady looked still disbelieving, stretched out her head to look at the baggage, picked up the contents and looked at it carefully, and then smiled, "In this case, then I'm not welcome." Actually, when I went home and asked for something, my sister-in-law was really upset. As you know, my brother runs two silk shops, and now it's hard to do business, and they don't have a lot of money. ”

"Alas, so, you are a person with a heart, so you still go to ask for bird's nest for our sister." Shu's eyes were a little moist.

Shu's is a solid person, and Xia Jin can see that she is full of gratitude to the second wife now.

"That ......" the second lady pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "Sister Jin is sick because of his family's prayer brother, so she doesn't have anything to say?" ”

Shu Shi sighed and shook his head.

The second wife was about to speak again, but she heard a voice in the courtyard: "Third wife, third wife, are you in the house?" She heard the voice of Mrs. Zhang, and immediately shut up.

Shu Shi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and patted the second wife's hand: "You sit here for a while, and I'll come in later." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and went out.

The second wife nodded, and didn't come over to talk to Xia Jin, just sat there, stunned her ears, and listened carefully to the conversation outside.

"Third wife, our wife was busy listening to the housekeepers and ladies this morning, and she really couldn't be free, so the slave maid took two taels of bird's nest to make up for Sister Jin'er. said that if Sister Jin still has anything to eat and want to play, just open her mouth. If our wife can do it, she will do it. This is Mrs. Zhang's voice.

"No need. The second wife also brought a bag of bird's nest just now, and my sister Jin is not short of this. You better take it back and make up for Brother Qi'er, isn't he punished for writing big characters? Shu's words were obviously angry.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "The second wife also sent bird's nest?" ”

Xia Jin raised his eyes to look at the second wife sitting in the room. I saw that the second wife pursed her mouth tightly, the handkerchief in her hand was clenched, her eyes were heavy, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

Mrs. Zhang outside persuaded a few more words, but she had no choice but to have the second wife to make a comparison, the eldest lady's approach really made Shu uncomfortable, and her attitude of refusal was almost tough.

"Take it." Suddenly, a male voice sounded beside him. This is Xia Zhengqian.

Shu Shi seemed stunned.

Xia Zhengqian continued: "The cause of our sister's illness is just to pray for my brother, and it is also appropriate to eat his two taels of bird's nest, so take it." ”

"Yes." Shu Shi answered.

Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to expect Xia Zhengqian to speak so clearly, she was a little embarrassed, and after a few words, she said goodbye and left.

The expression of the second lady in the room relaxed, raised her hand to pick up the tea bowl on the table, and slowly took two sips.

"Alas, it was finally sent away. Really, if you don't come, let a slave come over, and send two or two bird's nests, what's the matter! Shu Shi entered the door and put the bird's nest on the table, muttering.

The second wife just laughed and didn't talk.

When Shu's complaining stopped, she slowly stood up and said to Shu's: "It's not early, I should go back too." ”

Without waiting for Shu Shi to speak, she turned her face to Xia Jin and said, "Sister Jin, you are so good to give birth to and raise, and the second aunt will come to see you again when you are free." ”

Shu Shi gratefully affectionately greeted the guest: "Why did you go back?" Sit a little longer. ”

"No, seeing that it's hot, I still have to make two summer shirts for Brother Qi." The second wife smiled, turned around and was about to go out.

But when she walked to the door, she stopped again, looked at Shu's, and said with a smile as if inadvertently: "Alas, you are a straight person." You are dissatisfied with your sister-in-law and don't want to accept her bird's nest, isn't it good to find a reason to refuse? Saying that you took mine and didn't accept her, what would she think? Can't you hate both of us? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shu Shi to react, he lifted the curtain and went out.

"Ahh Shushi seems to have come back to his senses. The second wife kindly took the bird's nest to see Sister Jin'er, but she pulled her into the water, and even let her offend the eldest wife.

"Second sister-in-law, I ......" she chased out and wanted to apologize, but saw that the figure of the second wife had arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the second master Xia Zhenghao was standing outside the courtyard talking to Xia Zhengqian. Xia Zhenghao saw the second wife come out and said a word to Xia Zhengqian, and the husband and wife went together.

"Oops." Shu stomped his feet and repented, so he had to go back and go to decoction medicine for Xia Jin with his own hands.

In the room, Xia Jin lay on the bed and thought about the second wife, and saw that Shu Shi did not come in, and Artemisia and the others were not there, so he quietly moved the book under him to his stomach.

The book is wrapped in a blue book jacket with two words written on it: "The Female Commandment". When it was opened, its real title was revealed: "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing Su Wen".

She knew that this was the medicine book that Xia Qi stole for her. It turned out that the little girl named Xia Jin especially liked to read medicine books. But the Xia family's rule is that medical skills are passed on to men and not to women, so Xia Qi had to secretly show her the medicine book. The brother and sister were extremely careful about this, and they didn't even seem to know about Qingdai and Qinghao, who were serving Xia Jin closely.

It is said that it is "seemingly", because the original owner thinks so. But according to Xia Jin's observation of the two maids in the past two days, the maid named Qingdai is meticulous and thoughtful, and her ability is stronger than that of the original owner. The original owner wants to hide from her, I'm afraid it's not easy.

She turned, opened the bamboo pillow under her head, and put the book inside. His dark eyes looked at the air, and he was silent for a while, and then he lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate.
