Chapter 499: A Quiet Transformation (5)
It was getting dark, the carriage stopped at the side door of the General's Mansion, and Father Zhu raised his hand to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and he put the stool on the side of the carriage. Jiang Wanmu got out of the carriage and stretched out her hand to take the two children next, she looked at the stool with a smile, and said with a smile: "Father Zhu, you now know more and more how to greet guests, and you know how to prepare such a stool." ”
Father Zhuzi stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat on his face, he raised his eyes and saw the man in black coming out of the general's mansion, he turned around and quickly jumped on the horse frame, turned around and said quickly: "Girl, if you have something, you can still ask someone to pass on me." As soon as his words fell, the carriage drove over quickly, so startled that Jiang Wanmu, mother and son, almost forgot to dodge the dust and snow coming from the side.
Jiang Feiyang flattened his mouth and said, "Mother, Father Zhuzi didn't have such a fear of things in the past. Jiang Wanmu looked at the four courtyards that came out, they were all dressed in black and looked at each one of them upright and generous, but the people who passed through the battlefield had their own blood and energy. The little people just want to live in peace, and the pillar father is a person who often runs on the road, and he will subconsciously avoid this kind of person. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Jiang Feiyang lightly, and said in a low voice: "Father Zhu is a person who cares about the family, he is not afraid of things, but he knows how to avoid things." After she said this, she quickly flashed the etiquette of the four men, and she frowned slightly and said, "You have worked hard, you don't have to be so polite in the future." ”
The four men silently took two steps back and followed the mother and son into the side door. After Jiang Wanmu's mother and son entered the door, they saw two figures waiting not far away, and the two had already trotted up to meet them at this time. Jiang Wanmu looked at the two of them in surprise, and under the dim light, she could vaguely see the panicked expressions in their eyes. Jiang Wanmu's eyes darkened slightly, she maintained a faint smile on her face, and asked, "Has the general returned home?" Hua Hua raised her eyes and quickly looked at the people around her, and Hua Hua whispered, "The general has returned home before dinner." ”
Jiang Wanmu's eyebrows raised slightly, and she waved her hand to the guards who followed and said, "We have entered the mansion, you can disperse." The four guards quickly dodged away, and Jiang Wanmu whispered, "Has the general had dinner?" Hualuo whispered, "The general has had dinner." It's just not used much. Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister reached out to hold Jiang Wanmu's hand, Jiang Wanmu looked down at the expressions of the two children, she sighed secretly in her heart, this brother and sister are more sensitive and vigilant than her, and in their nature, they have the unique precaution of the children of the family. She smiled and said, "Flying, lazy, it's not early." After you say hello to Daddy, go back to rest early. ”
Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister exchanged glances, and Jiang Lazy smiled and said, "Mother, my brother and I will go back and freshen up first." Then I will go to say hello to my father and mother, and talk to you for a while. Jiang Wanmu could only smile and nod, she held the hands of a pair of children, and said with a smile: "After the beginning of spring next year, in front of the courtyard outside our city, I have already asked people to surround three vegetable fields, and I want to plant long beans on that land, what vegetables do you two want to plant?" Jiang Feiyang thought about it and said with a smile: "Mother, I want to grow melons." I planted those long strips of melons, and in the summer, I picked them for my mother to mix and eat. ”
Jiang lazy wrinkled her little nose, she thought about it and said, "Shi'er and I both want to grow medicinal herbs, and half of my land will be divided into half for him to grow medicinal herbs." After Jiang Lazy finished speaking, she looked up at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Mother, we have a few days." I didn't go to the Shangjia Herbal Hospital, I thought about my grandfather and grandmother, I thought about my uncle and aunt Shi'er and my two younger brothers. How long will we have to wait to see them? Jiang Wanmu sighed lightly and looked at her, she had been to Shang's house a while ago, Wen Jiuniang had a thousand explanations to her, and the three of them were not allowed to come to the door during the New Year's Festival, saying that in the first year of custom, there were old people in the family who left. When you are the master of the house during the New Year, you must remember to ward off evil spirits.
Jiang Wanmu looked at her daughter's expression, and she whispered, "Your aunt said that we can go to see them after the New Year's Festival." It's just that in the spring, Shi'er still can't come to our house to play. "The way they went. The trees on the side of the road are hung with red gas lights. Jiang lazily listened to Jiang Wanmu's words, she sighed and said, "Mother, then my brother and I should write to Shi'er, he said that he misses us so much." Jiang Feiyang said on the side: "Mother, in that summer, you said to your aunt that you would take Shi'er out to live for a while, we live in the courtyard outside the city, I like the courtyard outside the city, which is bigger than our Nancheng family." ”
After Jiang Wanmu accompanied the two of them to say some words, she saw the relaxed expressions in the eyes of the two of them, and her expression calmed down. The three of them entered the courtyard, and the housekeeper woman greeted them, Jiang Wanmu smiled and told the flowers to blossom and fall to take care of Jiang Feiyang's brothers and sisters, and she said to the housekeeper woman: "Immediately ask someone to send hot water to the bathing room." She stepped up the steps and reached open the door. Under the flickering candlelight, Lian Hao sat upright at the table, his eyes were fixed on the chess game set up on the table, he pressed one hand on an open page, and the other hand grabbed a chess piece, his hand was stopping in mid-air, his expression was as if he was in a no-man's land.
Jiang Wanmu gently closed the door and walked lightly to the room. Lian Hao felt the sound of the man's footsteps in the distance, and he pressed the chess pieces heavily into the chess grid, and the expression on his face was unpredictable. After a long while, he regained his composure, he stretched out his hand and put the chess pieces on the table into the box, and after emptying the things on the table one by one, he opened the door of the room, and said to the lady in charge who was waiting outside: "Send tea, prepare fancy strong tea, remember to have strong tea." The lady in charge was slightly stunned when she heard this, it was already night, and it was generally difficult for people to fall asleep after drinking strong tea.
The lady in charge raised her eyes and saw Lian Hao's black face, and she immediately said, "Okay, third master, I'll go and prepare tea in person, and prepare the kind of tea that can't taste strong tea." Lian Hao looked at the housekeeper approvingly and said, "Yes, Mrs. Shizi has a good eye and can pick people." Lian Hao closed the door, and the housekeeper's face had a faint bitterness, she was a person sent by the palace, she was in the general's mansion, and there could only be one master forever.
Jiang Wanmu came out of the bedroom again, walked to the outside room, and saw two cups of tea on the table, Lian Hao looked at her with a smile. When he heard her movement, he smiled and turned to her and said, "Wanmu, come and taste the tea I made." Jiang Wanmu sat down at the table with some hesitation, and the cup of tea in front of her had a clear fragrance of flowers and tea. Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes to look at Lian Hao, who was obviously happy, and she said tentatively in disbelief: "Lian Hao, is your grandfather well?" Lian Hao raised his eyes to see the caution in her eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a heartache.
Lian Hao was in Jiang Wanmu's eyes, he had already hidden the look in his eyes, he smiled and nodded and said: "Our three brothers accompanied him to Chinese food, and talked to him again in the afternoon, I looked at him much better." During the New Year's Festival, I took Feiyang to see him often. And on the third day of the Lunar New Year, you and Feiyang Lazy are going to go to the family tree, and the two of them have to follow the names of the brothers and sisters in the palace. Grandfather meant that Flappy and Lazy could be used as words for both of them. Wanmu, is it good to take your words as lazy? Jiang Wanmu smiled and nodded, "Okay." Who names them? ”
Jiang Wanmu felt a slight sense of loss in her heart, but she couldn't reveal it on her face. Lian Hao looked at her with a smile and said: "Feiyang, lazy, the secret word for this generation is 'Ping', and for the other words, I asked my grandmother and mother to name them, and the two of them mysteriously said that they would not tell us until that day." Jiang Wanmu's eyebrows raised slightly, and she asked with a little curiosity: "Lian Hao, do you also have a secret character ranking in your generation?" Lian Hao took a sip of tea from his cup, and he motioned for Jiang Wanmu to taste it. After Jiang Wanmu obediently drank a few sips of tea, her eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, and then she finished drinking a cup of tea, she put down the cup and raised her eyes to see Lian Hao's smile in her eyes.
After Lian Hao smiled and took a sip of tea, he personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Wanmu, and persuaded her with a smile: "Wanmu, this tea is good, according to the people in the palace, strong and beautiful complexion, you drink two more cups." Jiang Wanmu looked at him with a slight frown, and whispered, "It's night, I drink too much water, I have to get up at night." Jiang Wanmu didn't mind Lian Hao not answering her previous words, there are some things in this world, knowing too much will not be beneficial. Lian Hao looked at her with a smile and said, "I don't mind if you wake me up, we will sleep later, there will be nothing tomorrow, we can get up later." ”
Jiang Wanmu had to drink two cups of tea under Lian Hao's persuasion. When Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister came, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned a pair of children to sit at the table. Lian Hao looked at the expressions of the two children and asked them about some things in the courtyard outside the city, and Jiang Feiyang and his sister answered them one by one. He smiled and nodded and said, "It's getting late, you go back and rest, don't come to make noise with your mother tomorrow morning, let her sleep for a while." Feiyang, you get up early and go directly to the practice room, lazy, you can sleep later and get up. Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lazy stood up, Jiang Wanmu looked at the looks of the two children, she stood up with a smile, and said, "Mother, send you back." ”
A look of joy flashed between the eyebrows of Jiang Feiyang's brother and sister, they carefully looked at Lian Hao's expression, and seeing that there was no objection on his face, the brother and sister reached out and pulled Jiang Wanmu. The mother and son walked out of the room, and Lian Hao's brows furrowed in the room. When Jiang Wanmu returned to the room, her eyebrows and eyes were obviously much more open. Lian Hao pushed the tea cup in front of her, and said with a smile, "Drink a cup of tea with me." Jiang Wanmu could only silently drink another cup of tea, she didn't know why Lian Hao tried so hard to persuade her to drink tea tonight. After one cup after another, Jiang Wanmu rubbed her forehead a little tiredly and said, "Lian Hao, I'm going to sleep first." ”
As she spoke, she obviously saw the disappointed look in Lian Hao's eyes, she looked over with some shock, and saw him smiling at her, he smiled and said, "Wanmu, is this tea delicious?" Jiang Wanmu frowned slightly, she chose to tell the truth, she shook her head and said: "I don't like to drink this kind of tea with too strong floral fragrance, fortunately, there are more flowers and less tea." Otherwise, if you drink too much tea so late, you will have trouble falling asleep tonight. Jiang Wanmu went to the room, and Lian Hao was so angry that he unconsciously crushed the cup in his hand. He heard the movement coming from inside, and hurriedly followed him to the bedroom.
