Chapter 543: The Macaque Returns
The guests dispersed, the newlyweds entered the cave room, and Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi also rushed home in starry clothes. The two children www.biquge.info had already been taken home by Jia's to sleep, and Jia's and Yu Yan lit the lamp and did needlework in the house.
Yu Yan heard the sound of the door opening, and quickly jumped down from the kang to the door to greet her, Jia Shi saw her rushing out in a gust of wind, and couldn't help but shake her head, saying that it would take some time for this girl to adapt to the rhythm of life in the village.
"Sir, ma'am." Yu Yan opened the curtain for the two of them.
Lan Yi followed Zhou Weiji inside and ordered, "You can also go and rest, you don't have to wait anymore." ”
Zhou Weiji went back to the house to change clothes and wash first, Lan Yi went to the West House, and Wen Xuan slept soundly.
"How does the new daughter-in-law look?" Jia asked with a smile.
"It's not very pretty, but the mannerisms are very generous, and the smile makes people look very comfortable." Lan Yi turned her neck and pressed her shoulder, "I'm really tired this day, much more tired than working in the fields." ”
Jia Shi put down the needle and thread in his hand, "Come and I'll rub it for you, isn't it just tiring you and the fourth daughter-in-law on such days." Although Jia Shi didn't go over, he also knew that the third daughter-in-law, Zhao Shi, followed to greet her relatives, and the fifth daughter-in-law, Hu Shiguan, was slippery and lazy, so the errands of entertaining female guests and serving tea and dinner fell on the heads of the two of them.
"No, I'll take a shower, just bubble, my clothes and hair smell of braised elbows at the end of the day." Lan Yi grinned, went to Xili to see Yu'er, and saw that he was also sleeping peacefully.
"Yu Yan has already boiled hot water, don't soak it for a long time when it's cold, so as not to get cold." After Jia's advice, he sighed again, "This little girl is diligent in her hands and feet, and she also has work in her eyes, after the sunspot was brought back, she boiled hot water to brush and feed it, and the sheep and donkeys at home also served comfortably, plus the pulp washing and cleaning, I couldn't get involved, even in the Wang family, the rough maid at home couldn't do so many things, and she was also a loss to her who had practiced martial arts, otherwise where could she hold on." ”
It's too diligent, Lan Yi thought she was diligent, but seeing her busy before and after, she had to be ashamed of herself, and it made her feel like child labor, "Well, I can only let her go first, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
Jia Shi pursed his lips and smiled, Lan Yi said this half a month ago. However, she knew in her heart what Yu Yan was thinking, and the Jia family herself came over like this.
"Squeak!" There was an eager monkey cry outside the window, followed by the two little dogs at the door, Lan Yi was stunned when she heard the monkey's call, and hurriedly walked out.
Zhou Weiji had already gone out, "It's cold, I'll go, don't come out." ”
"Don't hurt it." Lan Yi admonished.
Before Zhou Weiji passed, Yu Yan came through the door with a macaque in his hand, and the cry of the frightened monkey woke up the two children, Yu Yan restrained his limbs with one hand and buckled its neck with the other, and the poor macaque could only struggle in vain.
"Madam, this monkey is sneaking around in the yard and trying to open the grass fence of the greenhouse, do you think this is the monkey from last year?" Yu Yan entered the hall and handed the monkey to Lan Yi.
Seeing Lan Yi, the nervous and trembling half-big macaque stared wide-eyed, his mouth made a whining sound, and his eyes were shining with water. Lan Yi looked at it as if it recognized herself, and there was an obvious scar on the bridge of its nose, which should be the little macaque with a scar that spent the winter in the greenhouse last winter.
"It should be a scar monkey, Wei Ji, don't you think?"
Zhou Weiji also recognized it, "It's it, I didn't expect it to come back." ”
Lan Yi touched her chin and guessed, "Maybe it's greedy, Yu'er and Wenxuan have been chattering, this time the two little guys should be happy." ”
"The slave went and tied him up." Yu Yan held up the brown-haired macaque and took a closer look, "This monkey has a lot of strength, so he has to use an iron chain." ”
The scar monkey seemed to understand Yu Yan's words, his body trembled, and he continued to look at Lan Yi pitifully.
Lan Yi looked at it like this, smiled and shook her head.
"No, just let it go, don't pay attention to it when you see it again, and let it go." Zhou Weiji instructed that macaques are wild and untamable, and they are afraid of hurting the children if they are locked at home.
Yu Yan should be.
Lan Yi took a step further, reached out and touched the thick hair on its head and said, "We don't tie you, you can leave if you want, and stay if you want." You don't want to eat too many cucumbers in the greenhouse, I'll keep them for cooking. ”
Jia Shi joked, "Foolish again, how can a monkey understand what you are talking about." ”
Everything has a spirit, and the monkey is also a primate, with a well-developed brain, even if it can't hear it all, but it can at least sense whether the big human in front of it is kind or malicious. Macaques should also live in groups, looking at the scar monkey's strong limbs, not like there is nothing to eat, so sneaking back in the middle of the night may really be greedy for a change of taste, so I remembered the time spent in the greenhouse and the melons and fruits it ate last year when it was lonely and weak.
"What are you thinking, is that a monkey who can only change eighty-one?" Zhou Wei saw Lan Yi hiding in the quilt, his eyes were full of longing, and he asked with a smile. Lan Yi told the story of "Journey to the West" to the two children, and he also heard a lot of it, knowing that she liked the monkey who could only talk and was benevolent.
"Well, do you think the scar monkey will also have spirituality and cultivate into refinement?"
Seeing her eyes shining, Zhou Weiji smiled helplessly, "It's so easy, it's just a story in the book." But the monkeys, foxes, and wolves of the mountains are indeed more alert and clever than wild boars, pheasants, and hares. ”
He went into the mountains many times, and saw many animals, but none of them became sperm.
"When the spring is warm next year, let's go into the mountains again, okay? Go deeper, go to the pavilion where you can admire the moon as Yu Bo said, go to the place where you get spring water, and then let's dig a few peach trees and plant them at home, so that you can see flowers in spring and eat peaches in autumn. Lan Yi longed, she had been coveting the depths of the mountains and forests for a long time.
"Okay." Zhou Wei should go down, there is a peach forest not far from the place where the spring water is fetched, it is very beautiful to bloom in spring, you can take her there, if she wants, she can also build a thatched hut or tree house there for a few days.
It's coming next spring. Thinking of spring, and thinking of Xue's words, Lan Yi couldn't help but add another sentence, "If you agree, you won't regret it, you must take us there." ”
Zhou Weiji lifted the quilt between himself and Lan Yi, pulled her over and hugged her, covered it, and asked seriously, "Lan Yi, tell me, what's wrong?" ”
"Huh?" Lan Yi was stunned, "It's okay, why do you ask that?" ”
Zhou Wei lowered his head extremely and watched her thick eyelashes flicker rapidly, but she didn't look up, she was not a person who could hide things, she was unusually sticking to herself these days, and seemed to be a little uneasy, why was she uneasy? After filtering through what had happened recently, he asked in a low voice, "What did the Xue clan say to you last time he came, in addition to the tight war?" ”
Lan Yi's heartbeat suddenly became faster, and she said casually, "It's really nothing, it's just that I have participated in the wedding in the past two days, and I sighed in my heart, ten years of repairing in the same boat, and a hundred years of repairing to sleep together, every couple can be combined, it is a rare fate, so I feel that I should cherish the time together more, so as not to waste time." ”
As soon as the little girl was nervous, she talked a lot and spoke quickly, it seemed that it was really what Xue said that made her uneasy. Zhou Weiji patted her on the back, which could make her uneasy and not tell herself, I am afraid that it has something to do with herself, thinking of what Xue said last time that the prince died in battle, is it?
If so, no wonder she is.
Zhou Weiji's eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that he should personally ask the Xue family.
Unable to hear Zhou Weiji's response, and unlike him who could secretly see things, Lan Yi felt uneasy, "By the way, Fifth Aunt told me today that she may have to make a move on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that we can be mentally prepared." On that day, I was going to worship my ancestors, and I couldn't leave because of the busy affairs at home, Xuan'er followed Second Uncle Wang and them to worship the ancestral tomb of the Wang family, and Yu'er also had to go back to participate in the sacrifice of the Li family, and the four of us were scattered. This year, it is not suitable for you and me to follow Yu'er to Lijia Village, so it is better to let Yu Yan follow Yu'er. ”
It's like diverting your attention, this girl is really tender. However, Zhou Weiji still complied with her wishes, "It's okay." Now Yu'er, the Li family has nothing to fear. ”
The Li family is not to be afraid, but now there is a Cheng family again! (To be continued.) )
