From spring to summer solstice, in Jiang Wanmu's yard, the tall green trees around him have long been shady. People walk in the yard, and the leaves on the tall trees are always accompanied by gusts of summer breeze, dancing lightly to show the coolness of the season. In the hot summer, no one in the yard likes to go out for a stroll in their spare time, and they all like to stay in the yard and enjoy this rare coolness.

Jiang Wanmu gently pulled her hair bundle, and there were no other decorations on her hair except for a simple wooden hairpin. Dressed in plain white cloth with wide sleeves, she stood freely in front of the desk in the room, looking down at the handwriting written in water on the smooth wooden board. The two windows in front of and behind her were all open, and the cool and mischievous wind shuttled back and forth in the room to play.

Jiang Wanmu gently wiped the watermark on the board with a cloth towel, and she quietly wrote a word on the board. In the scorching summer, she goes out less than usual, and usually only goes to home to pick up her two children. Occasionally, I would spend the morning sitting in a bookstore for a while, and accompany the uncle of the owner to talk about interesting things that happened in the past few hundred years, and practice calligraphy there for a while. Sometimes, she would meet her peers who came upstairs, and everyone laughed and talked about each other. This summer, a bookstore took over a large number of jobs to copy Buddhist scriptures, and the uncle of the owner directly divided the number of volumes. This kind of thing has always been a job that has nothing to do with Jiang Wanmu.

Jiang Wanmu has a partiality for the owner uncle, and she has always been indifferent, and this year there is a new colleague who has taken on too much work in her hands. When he really couldn't write, in front of Jiang Wanmu, he kindly proposed to the uncle of the owner that he should give up some of the Buddhist scriptures he copied for Jiang Wanmu to copy. The uncle of the proprietor darkened his face on the spot and said coldly: "You wrote the Buddhist scriptures yourself." You give her some of the rest of your work. Then he turned to the others upstairs and said in a loud voice, "If any of you don't want to take over the copying of Buddhist scriptures, you can bring it up to me as soon as possible?" ”

The crowd upstairs. Looking at the uncle of the owner with a black face, and then at Jiang Wanmu, who was standing indifferently on the side, they couldn't bear to look at the kind-hearted comrade one by one. They laughed and rushed to speak. "I am willing to take the work of Buddhist scriptures, and I think copying Buddhist scriptures is meditative." "Brother Fang, I don't have the cultivation like you. I just think that copying Buddhist scriptures can not only practice calligraphy, but also take more money than ordinary work. Laughter suddenly sounded upstairs, and the uncle of the owner looked at Jiang Wanmu, who was smiling lightly, and asked, "Do you want to do the work of receiving Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Jiang Wanmu shook her head lightly at the uncle. Uncle Dong has not let her copy Buddhist scriptures, thinking that it has its own deep meaning, she believes in Uncle Dong's personality. Many of the older peers are people who grew up watching Jiang Wanmu. One of them stood beside Jiang Wanmu, and he heard the uncle of the owner questioning. After seeing her shake her head. He walked over with a smile, reached out and patted the shoulder of the new colleague, and said to him with a little explanation: "You are a kind person, and you are a newcomer, so you don't understand that in the eyes of the owner, the little lazy is a rare treasure in a bookstore." ”

As soon as his words came out, the people upstairs nodded their heads one by one, and the new colleagues laughed. There was no look of shame on his face. The uncle of the owner opened his mouth and scolded with a smile: "You are all big men, when have I treated you badly?" I will arrange your work, and you will do it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Little lazy, she has a lot of idle time, do you still have to fight with a little woman like her for these face-saving things? Jiang Wanmu smiled slightly. She smiled crisply and said, "You are all people who want to support a family, and I only need to support a small family." I'm lazy again, so naturally I have a lot of idle time. ”

Brother Fang is relatively old, he has a generous temperament, he has always regarded himself as a big brother in front of everyone, and he is the best at regulating everyone's emotions. After smiling at Jiang Wanmu a few times, he said to the uncle of the owner: "The owner, I have already understood the deep meaning of not letting the little lazy copy the Buddhist scriptures. Xiao lazy is such a cold temperament, if she often copies Buddhist scriptures, it is easy to get into it, if she wants to see through the red dust, impulsively leave home, and regret it too late. Owner, we all support you, Buddhist scriptures must not be copied by the lazy. The people upstairs listened to his words and nodded knowingly.

The newcomer looked at Jiang Wanmu a few times in surprise, and he retorted: "I see that Miss Jiang is just quieter, not as light as you say." Naturally, someone would pull him aside and dwell on the old things. Jiang Wanmu was talking to her peers, and after going downstairs one after another, she approached the uncle of the owner with a smile and said, "Uncle, I am a person who will not be a monk, and I can't stand the constraints of the rules and regulations in that temple." However, I don't want to copy Buddhist scriptures, writing Buddhist scriptures requires long-term meditation to write well, and I still have to manage the food and drink of my two children, but I don't have that meditation effort. ”

The uncle of the proprietor gave her a blank look and said, "Many famous monks decided to become monks and practice only after a moment's feeling. I didn't see anything like you used to have that that could really enter your eyes and heart, and then you were a bit like a monk. Over the years, after you have Feiyang and Lazy, you have some fireworks on your body. If you think about it carefully, you are a person who has decided to marry again, and I have not seen much joy in you. I looked at General Lian, and his face was a little beaming. ”

Jiang Wanmu smiled slightly and listened to the uncle of the owner, she felt that the uncle of the owner was much more chatty this year than before. Perhaps, older and middle-aged people have such a common problem. She and Lian Hao were in the spring, and after careful discussion between the two, they still decided not to live up to expectations too much, and decided to marry again in early winter. The two are trying to get along well now, but after Lian Hao starts spring, he is so busy that the number of days of rest is scarce, and he is going to ask the elders of Lian Wangfu to say goodbye. The two only met twice in a hurry, but fortunately, Lian Hao would write a letter to Jiang Wanmu the next day.

Lian Hao's letters are usually only a piece of paper, and there are not too many flowery words written on the paper, but they just talk about what he has seen and felt in a day, and the flashes of light show that he is indeed very busy. Jiang Wanmu read his letters, and usually instructed Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lazy brothers and sisters to reply to the letters, and let them practice calligraphy by the way. Jiang Wanmu never replied to Lian Hao's piece of paper, and Lian Hao's persistent letter arrived on time the next day, and the two children were very happy to be able to communicate with Lian Hao.

Jiang Wanmu followed the uncle downstairs, and when she was waiting for the carriage to come over on the side of the street, she heard him say earnestly: "Little lazy, you have to treat General Lian better, he treats you with deep affection." Jiang Wanmu's eyes widened in fright, and she looked at him and said, "Uncle, when have you seen him treat me with deep affection?" The uncle of the owner looked at her clear eyes, glared and whispered: "You don't know how blessed you are in the blessing, and in the capital, I don't know how many women envy you for such good luck." People like General Lian are how many famous ladies and gentlemen they yearn for in their dreams. ”

Jiang Wanmu laughed lowly when she heard this, and she joked in a low voice: "Uncle, you still have a heart that yearns for heroes?" I thought that only those beautiful ladies who only knew the wind and snow, and loved to listen to the legends of those heroes and heroes, but I never thought that you were the same as them, uncle? They usually listen to the gossip outside and then construct a perfect person in their minds. That General Lian was indeed stunning, and could meet their requirements in this regard. Uncle, don't you think I'm going to marry someone like this again, I'm under a lot of pressure.

Uncle, you look at our friendship for so many years, you should also think about me. I'm a person who hasn't done anything, and this family affair has been thoroughly implemented, and I have become the most jealous and resentful person among many women. Come to think of it, I still suffered a lot. The uncle of the owner directly stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Wanmu's head, and after seeing her dodge, he jumped directly on the carriage that had just arrived with a smile, and he smiled and said to the people in the car: "You are in front of me, you are getting bigger and smaller." You are a person who takes advantage of the wind and still talks about the wind, you still call for a loss, you don't know that everyone is saying that you have taken a big advantage behind you. ”

After Jiang Wanmu put away the things on the table, she suddenly remembered what the uncle of the owner had said, her brows furrowed slightly, and recently outside her yard door, there were many more passing carriages. She heard a sentence or two from Mrs. Liu, saying that the people who knocked on the courtyard door and asked her for directions recently were all girls who looked like they were working in the rich and noble, and none of those girls had a pair of good eyes, and the eyeballs were too flexible, and the little body was eager to fall directly into our yard. The girls asked for directions, and they would check the population in the courtyard by the way, and the number of people reported by Mrs. Liu often disappointed them.

After Jiang Wanmu listened to Mrs. Liu's words, after thinking about it, she immediately came to her senses, but she was afraid that the news that she and Lian Hao would marry again had spread in the dark. She was very glad that Lian Hao had always come to her yard in civilian clothes, and he rarely brought a little maid into the yard. Although the date of their marriage has been set, the two have reached a consensus for the first time that they will not publicize this matter all over the city. Afterwards, the two separately notified the people who should have been notified. Chu Xiao and his wife were very much in favor of their low-key decision, and Chu Yang said approvingly: "General Lian is indeed a calm person. ”

Chu Xiao reminded: "Little lazy, it is the rule for the children to go to the palace to ask for peace, and you are the rule when you come to the door to ask for peace after getting married." You don't know much about these things, so leave them all to your sister-in-law. Jiang Wanmu nodded happily, and let the Chu Yang clan deal with the prince of the Lian Palace. (To be continued.)
