Chapter 56: The Nurse
Jin Nanxue was not very hungry after eating some just now, but under the lure of the fragrance, she still tasted a few bites of everything, and instructed the two girls: "Withdraw, these dishes are still hot, you all go down to eat, you don't have to wait here." ”
When I first walked through, I saw that the two personal girls always ate the rest of her meals, and I was very sorry not to go, so I pulled the two of them to eat with her when no one was around, but the two girls were very strict with the rules, and refused to sit at the same table with the master, so she gave up.
The girls finished cleaning up the scraps and making tea for the two masters and withdrew, the atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down, and the two seemed to be intimately chatting awkwardly, just when Jin Nanxue racked her brains and thought about how to talk about people away, Jiang Qi actually took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Jin Nanxue suddenly remembered that since she came to her, Jiang Qi's nominal husband had never stayed overnight with her, even if she showed the intention of staying overnight once or twice, she would still leave easily for various reasons in the end.
Is Mrs. Ben not attractive enough?
She touched her smooth and delicate face, and felt that it was not enough.
It's not that she hopes that Jiang Qi can stay overnight, but she simply feels that something is wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, she can't think of why, so she simply doesn't think about it anymore. In short, not having to share a bed with this cheap husband is a good thing for her after all, so she is quite satisfied with the current mode of getting along with each other with respect for each other.
What she didn't know, Jiang Qi didn't think about staying overnight, but that incident had pierced deep into his heart like a thorn, so that every time he wanted to get close to Jin Nanxue, he would come out for no reason, like a basin of cold water to extinguish all his charming thoughts, in terms of women's chastity, he actually cared very much, not to mention that this was his wife.
Jin Nanxue's edict made the increasingly silent Hou Mansion lively in front of people, as if to compensate Jin Nanxue, Jiang Qi ran to Tingxue Yuan as soon as he returned to the house for a few days, and every time he came, he was not empty-handed, and the subordinates of the Hou Mansion naturally knew how to judge the situation and did not dare to be embarrassed by Xue Yuan, and even the people in the big kitchen also restrained a lot and carefully prepared meals according to Jin Nanxue's proper routine and sent them to Tingxue Yuan.
The big kitchen changed the norm but made Shang Lu a little aggrieved, she was ready to make a big fuss in the big kitchen, but for a few days, people served extremely diligently, and the moth didn't come out, so she couldn't catch the handle and couldn't exert her power.
On this day, Jiang Qi's yamen was dragged to the restaurant by several colleagues to drink, and it was a little late when he came back.
The mother-in-law had obviously been waiting here for a while, and when she saw Jiang Qi coming back, she stepped forward and saluted: "Master Hou is back, I haven't seen the old slave come to greet Master Hou for many days." ”
Jiang Qi blinked his eyes and looked at it several times before he recognized that the mother-in-law in front of him was the nurse Wang Mama who had brought him up since he was a child, so he said politely: "Mama doesn't have to be formal, when will Mama return home after not seeing Mama for many days?" ”
Mama Wang said with a smile: "I came here early this morning, thanks to the blessing of the Hou Ye, the old slave can often come back to kowtow to the old lady and the Hou Ye to say goodbye, it is a great blessing for the old slave, the old slave just came from the old lady, but I happened to meet the Hou Ye, and I saw that the Hou Ye is now in his prime, and the old slave who supports the Hou Mansion is happier than anything." ”
Jiang Qi was very ironed when he heard this, and said warmly: "Mama has won the award, since she is back, you don't have to rush back to the grange, stay in the house for a few more days, and talk to the old lady." If you need anything, just ask Aunt Lian for it. ”
I remember that when Aunt Lian first came to the Hou Mansion, she also had a lot of care from Mama Wang, and now that Mama Wang is back, Aunt Lian will definitely arrange Mama's living room.
Mama Wang smiled and said: "That's natural, Aunt Lian is the master who can't be more gentle and obedient." ”
Mama Wang is Lian's henchman and slave, and she is also one of the dowry girls, when she was young, Lian's master married her to the steward of an outer grange in the Hou Mansion, and after Lian's gave birth to Jiang Qi, she happened to have just given birth to a son, so she was transferred in as Jiang Qi's nurse.
Mama Wang is loyal to the Lian family, and she also cares for Jiang Qi, the little master, from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Qi is still very close to herself, the nurse, after all, she has spent much more time with the nurse since she was a child than by Lian's side.
The two stood there and exchanged a few words, and Mama Wang changed her words: "I heard that Mrs. has a fate, this is a happy event, and the old lady is also happy in her heart, and she mentioned this to the old slave just now, and now the old lady is only worried that Mrs. is young and careless, and she thinks that she has won the order and is complacent, and she is even more worried that the Hou Ye will hold Mrs. high and hurt the hearts of others in the backyard." ”
Jiang Qi disagreed: "How come? Madame had always acted calmly and did not do anything out of place, and my mother was even more worried. ”
When Mama Wang heard this, she thought that the Hou Ye really began to care about Mrs. as Aunt Lian said, so she said: "It's so good, it's the old slave who has trespassed, but the old slave has just come from Aunt Lian, and I haven't seen Aunt Lian for many days, and Aunt Lian has obviously lost a lot of weight, and the poor little face is obviously white, and the old slave is clearly unwell when he goes, and he still sits there to sew clothes for the Hou Ye, and the old slave persuades the aunt to be unwell, so he calls someone to do these jobs, and the aunt refuses to let go, saying that this is for the Hou Ye to wear, She didn't feel at ease when she handed it over to her subordinates. ”
Hearing her talk about Aunt Lian like this, Jiang Qi remembered that he didn't seem to have stepped into his cousin's Yilan Courtyard for some days, and his cousin was thinking about himself, no wonder he was emaciated.
Mama Wang secretly looked at Jiang Qi's face, this is her own big child, she is naturally familiar with his character, knowing that her words have worked He thought of Aunt Lian, and couldn't help but be happy, and continued:
The old slave saw that his aunt seemed to have unspeakable pain on her face, so she secretly asked the girl who was waiting, knowing that her aunt was thinking too much about the Hou Ye in her heart. The old slave said something that should not be said, I heard that Hou Ye has not been to his aunt's yard in the past few days, and now that Mrs. has been ordered by Hou Ye, he naturally values his wife more seriously, and his heart is in Madame's place, but you and your aunt are childhood sweethearts, and your aunt has always put Hou Ye on the tip of her heart, so if you don't see Hou Ye for a few days, you will suffer from gains and losses. ”
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had lost his words, so he reached out and patted his face lightly twice: "It's the old slave who is too talkative, and he shouldn't pull the Hou Ye to say that there are no these, but the aunt is also an old slave who grew up watching from a young age, and only the Hou Ye is in her heart, so the old slave has the courage to say a word for the aunt, if the Hou Ye is free, it is better to go and see her, so as not to live up to the aunt's sincerity." ”
If other people said this, Jiang Qi would probably have been impatient a long time ago, but he still respected Mama Wang, not to mention that she was talking about her cousin, so she naturally wouldn't be angry, and listening to Mama Wang, Jiang Qi felt that he really shouldn't snub his cousin.
