The eyes in front of her were blazing, as if they wanted to stare her out of her original form; Turning a blind eye to the back, it was as if nothing had happened. Rao is Xia Jin is not shallow-minded, and he can't figure out what Luo Qian thinks.

But she wasn't a struggling person, and she quickly put the problem behind her. Anyway, what Luo Qian's attitude is, I will know tomorrow.

Back at the Xia house, Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi pulled the brother and sister to ask long and short questions. Since Xia Jin wants to live with them, her skills must always be slowly displayed; What's more, there is also the box of valuable jewelry given by Mrs. Xuanping. Therefore, Xia Jin didn't hide it, and directly told everything that happened in Xia Mansion today.

"What, you went into the water to save people?" Rao is seeing his daughter sitting in front of him upright, Shu Shi was still startled, groped his daughter up and down, and asked, "Is there any discomfort?" Did you get cold? Does it hurt to have a headache? "It's also called Xia Zhengqian," "Hurry up and help my daughter take a pulse." ”

Shu's gentleness and thoughtfulness had already covered Xia Jin's heart warm and soft. She twisted her hand and avoided Shu's hand like a twist, and shouted while laughing: "Mother, it's so itchy, don't touch it, I'm fine." ”

Xia Zhengqian saw that his wife and daughter were very warm, and he just sat there laughing and didn't move.

"Hey, I told you to take your daughter's pulse, didn't you hear?" Shu Shi glanced at him with disgust.

"Good, good." Xia Zhengqian had no choice but to come over and reach out to Xia Jin to take the pulse.

In order not to listen to Shu's nagging, Xia Jin had to sit still obediently, and when Xia Zhengqian withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay", she said to Shu: "I'll just say it, it's really fine." After we went ashore, the old lady made a thick ginger soup and drank a bowl of it for each person. And I'm in good health now, so I don't get sick easily. ”

Indeed, after Xia Jin's recuperation and training during this period of time, her height suddenly increased. It used to be thin and weak, but now it is thin and single; His face also became rosy. Now she has fair skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, although she is not as gorgeous and moving as Cen Ziman, but she is also a very attractive and beautiful little beauty.

"Indeed, Sister Jin'er's health is much better now than before." Xia Zhengqian said.

Parents always expect their children to be healthy and prosperous. So even if Xia Jin has changed a lot, it is completely different from before, but in the eyes of Xia Zhengqian and Shu, it is just that her daughter has grown up and is capable and sensible, and she doesn't feel weird.

Seeing that Xia Jin's body was fine, Shu's attention was on the box, and he reached out to open it: "You mean, the jewelry in here is thanked by Mrs. Hou?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Jin pressed Shu's hand, "I'll go back to the house and see later." ”

"Oh." Shu Shi came to his senses. The wealth is not exposed, these gold and silver jewelry, it is better to go back to the house to see.

As a father, Xia Zhengqian attaches more importance to his son's academic future, and he carefully asked Xia Qi who he met in the Houfu and who were more friendly to him. Hearing that the eldest son of the Zhitong family was very good to him, and the poems made by his son were praised by everyone, Xia Zhengqian was very happy and said to Shu's family: "Add two good dishes at noon, and I will have a drink with Brother Qi." ”

Shu Shi was about to speak, but Xia Zhengqian stopped her and said, "Brother Qi is also fourteen years old, and he is considered an adult." Drink a small glass of wine and get out of the way. I also just drank a little bit and didn't delay the afternoon visit. ”

Shu Shi saw that Xia Qi's eyes were shining, and she looked very expectant, and it was rare that her husband was in high spirits. She stood up helplessly and said to Xia Zhengqian: "I haven't seen you do this, I'm drinking with my son." So saying, he went out and commanded the kitchen.

Xia Zhengqian heard that the brother and sister were back, and specially came back from the hospital. Telling the brother and sister to have a good rest, he turned back to Xinglin Hall. Xia Qi and Xia Jin went back to their yards separately.

But Xia Jin returned to Qingzhi Pavilion with the jewelry box and just sat down, when he heard the mother-in-law from the gatekeeper report that Xuanping Houfu had sent someone to send some things. Surprised, she locked the box in the cabinet and got up to go out.

When I walked outside, I saw that Shu Shi had received the news and came from the kitchen. Seeing Xia Jin, she hurriedly asked, "Why did Houfu send something over again?" ”

"I don't know." Xia Jin was also confused. I guessed in my heart that maybe it was Cen Ziman's whim and sent someone to send some gadgets over.

Shu Shi sent someone to call Xia Zhengqian while rushing to the hall. On the way, he met Xia Qi, who heard the sound, and the mother and son entered the hall together.

In the hall, there was a mother-in-law and a few healthy women. This mother-in-law, Xia Jin, recognized that on that day in Renhetang and on the shore of today's lake, she had come out to answer the question of the old lady Xuanping, who should be a housekeeper or steward, and seemed to be surnamed Lu.

"Mama Lu, what are you ......" she stepped into the room and asked with a smile. He also introduced Shu Shi and Mama Lu, and nodded and smiled at a few healthy women, which was regarded as a greeting. Another servant came into the house to serve tea to these people.

"These clothes of my girl, since Miss Xia is dressed properly, the old lady sent the old slave to send them to Miss Xia, and I hope that Miss Xia will not dislike them." Mama Lu refused to sit down, and asked the healthy woman to open a few of her bags, revealing the neatly folded clothes inside.

Xia Jin raised his eyes and saw that there were not only five or six sets of clothes that Cen Ziman asked someone to take out for her at that time, but also seven or eight brightly colored ones. She couldn't help but be grateful to the old lady Xuan Pinghou for being thoughtful.

You must know that Cen Ziman's plain clothes are specially made for ancestor worship. If they were sent directly to the Xia Mansion, even if Xia Jin was not superstitious, he would feel unlucky after all.

Now that most of the bright colors have come in, that feeling is gone.

Shu Shi saw that these clothes, whether it was material or embroidery, were so exquisite, she couldn't say anything: "This, this...... What's so embarrassing about that? It's just too precious. ”

"Ling Aike saved my girl. My old lady said that no matter how many things she sent, it would not be enough to express her gratitude. Mama Lu said.

As she spoke, she beckoned to the other two women. The two women stepped forward and opened the baggage in their hands, revealing several forges from within.

Mama Lu said again: "Those clothes, although they have never been put on, they were originally made for my girl, and they are not respectful after all." These pieces of silk are gifts from the emperor, and Mrs. Xia uses them to make a few clothes for Mr. Xia and Miss Xia. ”

When Shu Shi heard that it was still a gift, he was even more frightened, and he shirked his gratitude in every possible way.

Mama Lu had a few polite words with Shu's contacts, then motioned to the women to put down the things, and said with a smile: "The things are delivered, I have to go back to the house to talk back to the old lady and say goodbye." Then he gave a salute and was about to leave.

Shu had no choice but to send them away.

At this time, Xia Zhengqian hurriedly came back from the front and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shu Shi let out a long breath, pointed to the things in the room and said, "Look at it, these are all sent by Mrs. Xuanpinghou, saying that they are grateful to our sister Jin for saving her granddaughter." ”

In addition to the clothes and materials that Mama Lu ordered just now, there are also a few boxes of snacks in the room.

Xia Zhengqian is also a person who has seen some of the world, and when he saw these things, he was not as frightened as Shu's, so he only said to Shu's: "Hurry up and put it away." ”

Shu Shi hurriedly called a few reliable subordinates to move these things to Qingzhi Pavilion.

Xia Zhengqian raised his eyes to look at Xia Jin, his gaze was extremely complicated.

This daughter went out on a trip, and then tossed so many people, things, and things, that he really didn't know what to do.

"Take those materials and make yourself some clothes." He said this to Xia Jin, and then turned around and went back to Xinglin Hall.

"Daddy, this is ...... What do you mean? Xia Qi didn't understand Xia Zhengqian's expression.

Xia Jin didn't understand either. But she's not a struggling person. As long as Xia Zhengqian doesn't suspect that she crossed over, this is no problem.

She smiled at Xia Qi and said, "I don't know." Let's go, there is a blue material in there just now, I asked my mother to measure it for you, make two sets of clothes out, and you can wear it after a while. ”

"I just made a new dress a few days ago, how can I do it again?" Xia Qi muttered while being dragged away by Xia Jin.

When he went to Qingzhi Pavilion, Xia Jin was surprised to find that Dong Fang was also there. She was holding a red dress, gesturing on herself, her mouth was still talking about something, and her eyes were clearer than ever. Seeing Xia Jin and Xia Qi coming in, she quickly put her skirt on the table, then pretended to be nothing, turned around and greeted the two with a smile: "Young Master Xia, Miss Xia." ”

The titles of son and young master, like Mrs. and Mrs., are exquisite.

Generally speaking, a husband or son can be called a lady only if he has an official position and a high status; A woman from an ordinary family can only be called Mrs.; In the same way, the children of the eunuchs are called sons; Those from ordinary people's families are called young masters.

Of course, this is not a court rule, but a folk convention.

However, with the passage of time, the titles of Mrs. and Mrs. are still strictly enforced according to the rules; The titles of son and young master have changed. For example, when the colored note calls Luo Qian as the son, when Xia Jin, who is pretending to be a man, will also call her "son" to show respect. Otherwise, this side called Luo Qian "Childe", and turned his head to call Xia Jin, who was sitting opposite, "Young Master", which clearly implied that Xia Jin's status was much lower than Luo Qian, and it was extremely impolite to slap his face nakedly.

Now that Dong Fang calls Xia Qi "Young Master", Xia Jin doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, after all, they are just ordinary people. But this "young master" and "girl" still have a surname in front of them, and she feels awkward no matter how she listens.

In addition to Shu Shi and Dong Fang in the house, there was also Calamus alone.

When Shu Shi saw his son and daughter coming in, he raised his face and smiled: "Miss Dong is telling me what is good about these materials." As he spoke, he sighed, "It's the first time I've seen these good materials, and it's really an eye-opener." ”

"I also met my father when I went to the capital before, and I just know a little bit about it." Dong Fang said modestly.
