Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life Experience
After seeing who this person was, the second wife preemptively shouted: "Third brother, you are finally back." ”
Xia Zhengqian saw at a glance that Shu's cheeks were red and purple, and some places were a little more swollen than when Xia Jin saw them just now, the injury was extremely serious, and his eyes were suddenly full of anger.
"Xianggong, I'm fine." Shu Shi was afraid that Xia Zhengqian would not be able to suppress his anger, so he rushed into Mrs. Xia again and hurriedly spoke. But she didn't want to speak in a hurry, and pulled the wound, and suddenly her face wrinkled into a ball of pain.
"How do you ......" Xia Zhengqian took a step forward, wanting to reach out to touch Shu's face, realizing that there were still outsiders here, and hurriedly retracted his hand.
The second wife's exclamation summoned Xia Zhengshen out of the house: "Are you back?" ”
"Big brother." Although he was dissatisfied with Xia Zhengshen, Xia Zhengqian still did enough courtesies and gave Xia Zhengshen a salute.
Xia Zhengshen sighed, and seemed extremely reluctant to say the following words: "Mother said, when you come back, go to the ancestral hall and kneel." If she doesn't speak, you can't get up. As he spoke, he turned his face and said to Xia Jin, "And you, it's the same." ”
Xia Zhengqian dared to go to Luo's house to say those words, and he had already expected the situation in front of him. In fact, he had thought about even worse. But perhaps because she was afraid of his current medical skills, Mrs. Xia didn't dare to go too far. But Xia Jin was punished, but he didn't expect it.
The anger on his face couldn't be hidden: "What? She didn't use her whole life to exchange benefits for the Xia family, so she was extremely guilty? ”
Xia Zhengshen was extremely embarrassed. No matter how selfish he is, forcing his niece to give people joy is always not good to say.
"No, it's not." The second wife hurriedly explained, "It's Sister Jin's ...... just now."
"I don't care." Xia Zhengqian interrupted her, "Something is coming at me." My surname is Xia, and I can't be beaten or punished, just don't come at my daughter-in-law and children. ”
Xia Zhengqian, as his name suggests, has always been a humble gentleman and rarely loses his temper. But once he lost his temper, even the old lady and Xia Zhengshen couldn't do anything about him.
Xia Zhengshen also knew that he couldn't force it too much, and Renhetang had to rely on Xia Zhengqian to support it.
He had no choice but to say, "Okay, Sister Jin will go back first." There, old lady, I'll help you intercede. ”
Xia Jin didn't move, just looked at Xia Zhengqian.
Xia Zhengqian turned his head, and the expression on his face became extremely soft: "Help your mother go back, apply ice to that face first, and then apply the small bottle of medicine I put on the bedside table to your mother." ”
"Yes." Xia Jin responded and helped Shu Shi to walk out.
"Sister Jin, don't worry, my face just looks scary, in fact, it doesn't hurt much, go back and apply some ice, and then apply some medicine, and tomorrow will be fine in the morning." Seeing that Xia Jin was silent along the way, Shu Shi thought she was scared, and comforted her.
Xia Jin saw that Shu Shi took a cold breath as soon as he spoke, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't talk quickly." ”
Sending Shu back to the room, Xia Jin treated the wound on her face according to Xia Zhengqian's instructions, gave her some soothing medicine, watched her sleep, and then came out of her yard.
"Girl, where are you going?" Calamus, who had been following her, saw Xia Jin walking towards another fork in the road, and hurriedly asked. She was afraid that Xia Jin didn't pay attention and went the wrong way.
"Distraught, go for a walk in the garden." Xia Jin gathered the cloak on his body.
Calamus looked up at the sky and hesitated.
Xia Jin's silence and cold temperament made her a little scared. Moreover, today Xia Sanye was punished for kneeling, and the third wife was slapped in the face, the girl's mood must be very bad. It's going to be angry with her......
After hesitating for a long time, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "But ...... However, on this day, it will soon rain. ”
Xia Jin raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see that the mist clouds were hanging low, the weather was gloomy, and the wind was stronger than yesterday, blowing the branches everywhere, and he saw that it was going to rain.
"It doesn't matter." She said.
The wind was strong and blew away the clouds, and the rain didn't come down so quickly. Moreover, the cloister she now walked led to the depths of the small garden. When it rained, she ran directly to the cloister to avoid the rain, and she didn't need to give up today's physical training for the sake of this cloud.
She knows that if she wants to get out of her current life, she must not only have excellent medical skills, but also the ability to climb over walls. Only by jumping out of the high walls of the Xia family at any time can you breathe free air.
Calamus stopped making a sound, and silently followed behind Xia Jin, her steps so light that she could barely hear the sound.
Because of this weather, there was no one in the garden, not even the servant women who usually tended to the flowers and trees. Xia Jin was very satisfied with this quietness.
When she reached the end of the cloister, she took off her cloak and gave it to Calamus to wait there. As for herself, according to the rhythm of yesterday, she first slowed down, then accelerated her pace, cooperated with her breathing, and did physical training in an orderly manner.
When she walked near the small lotus pond, she suddenly heard a low voice.
“…… is also a granddaughter, why is the difference so big? The old lady is too partial, right? "Although the volume is very low, you can hear that the voice is thrier than the average person's voice.
The other person chuckled mockingly: "You don't know, I heard that the third master is not the old lady's biological at all, that's why she is so harsh on the people in the third room." ”
"What?" This news was very unexpected, and the shrill voice couldn't help but raise its voice, "What you said is true?" ”
"Shh The man in a low voice seemed startled, "You are dead, shouting so loudly." ”
The shrill voice was disapproving: "Who will come here in this ghost weather?" That is to say, our life is a cold and rainy day, the old lady wants to eat lotus root, so that we have to run to this pond to dig up the mud. ”
As he spoke, he asked with great interest, "What you said is true?" The third old man is really not born to the old lady? So who was born of him? ”
A head sticks out of the bushes, and looks around, and it is evident that the low-voiced servant woman is afraid that the wall has ears, and is carefully guarded.
It's a pity that she met Xia Jin, who has first-class hidden kung fu, where will she be discovered?
After looking around for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, the servant woman retracted her head and said in a low voice: "I heard that the third master was born to a woman outside the old lady." ”
"Huh? Is this really the case? The shrill voice exclaimed, but then wondered, "Impossible, right?" According to the old lady's temperament, if this kind of thing happens, then it must not be turned upside down? How can the old lady take the third master into the house and raise him as a sister-in-law? ”
"I don't know. This matter, when I first entered the house, I listened to what the former mother-in-law, Mother Wu, said. As for whether it's true or not, it's not clear. ”
"Which Mother Wu?"
"You don't know." In a deep voice, she said, "When you entered the mansion, she was already sent out. The reason why I believe her is also because in the year when the third master was born, almost all the people in the house were replaced. If you look at the children in the house, the oldest is only two generations. Even if there are two or three old families, they are either the henchmen of the old lady or from Zhuangzi. ”
The sharp voice was silent for a moment, slapped his face, and shouted: "Ah, after what you said, it's really true." There are really not many old people in this house. ”
"Shhhh Tell you to be quiet, but I can't stop screaming. If the old lady knows this, she has to skin us. "I'll tell you, you can't tell anyone about it." If you want to find out, we won't have any good fruit to eat. ”
"I know, I know." He said in a thin voice, "You also know that my mouth is tight, so I told this, didn't you?" Don't worry, I know the weight. ”
"That's good." The deep voice seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, don't worry about other people's affairs, hurry up and dig lotus roots." Standing for a while, my body was going to freeze. ”
Immediately afterward, the sound of the mud pond could be heard outside the bushes.
Xia Jin took a few steps back slightly, turned around and walked up the path. When he got behind Calamus, he took the cloak from her hand: "Go, go back." ”
"Yes, girl." Calamus was so cold that she could go back when she heard it, and she was very happy, and walked back behind Xia Jin.
