Tong Jia anecdote

Master Jiu can be fragrant for twenty miles. "

Hearing her mention the word "twenty", suddenly thinking of the 20 taels, Tong Jiu sniffed, sat there with her head drooped listlessly, slightly rubbing the toe of her boot embroidered with cloud patterns on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her sudden appearance of being wronged after eating Coptis chinensis, Ji Lan felt fresh, feeling indescribable pity in his heart, rubbed her earlobe lightly with his hand, and asked softly "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Tong Jiu frowned, and awkwardly recounted how Gao Bin put him together.

"Just for this?" Ji Lan chuckled after hearing this, pinched her cheek, and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this move, on the contrary, I think it's so good."

"You shouldn't indulge me like this. We are a husband and wife, and a business is a business." Feeling that Ji Lan was comforting himself, Tong Jiu muttered with self-blame, "If you continue like this, maybe someday I will lose your money." It's all gone."

"You, let me tell you. The officials on the canal, the most in charge, are nothing more than the governor of the river and the governor of water transport." Ji Lan put her hands on her knees, and explained, "If we want to be on the canal If things are going smoothly, there is always one person to rely on. The Governor of Water Transport is Prince Yi's man, so now we can only rely on Gao Bin."

Tong Jiu listened silently, and Ji Lan said again, "The two governors of the river and the water transport, on the surface, one of the same rank, one civil and one military, is in charge of the canal and the water transport, but in reality the governor of the water transport relies on his military power to suppress the governor of the river. Gao If Bin wants to break the current situation of emphasizing water and neglecting rivers, the only thing we can do is political achievements. If we want to rely on others, we have to do what they like. It is better to help him build a bridge than to give away money for nothing."

As he said, he shook Tong Jiu's hand, and said, "He is such a prudent person, that he can promise to deposit 10,000+ silver into our ticket number, which proves that he is very caring about the methods you said, but he is not ready yet. Don't worry. I know you don't want to part with the 20 taels of interest, right?"

Tong Jiu curled her lips in conjecture, Ji Lan tapped her forehead, and said with a smile, "Then you never thought about borrowing his 17 taels from Jining Mansion? He just said that it can't be used to buy raw materials , and others are not up to you to use. Why do you become stubborn about this?"

"Ah, yes!" Tong Jiu patted his thigh as if waking up from a dream, and said, "If the account is calculated in this way, it is equivalent to that I only paid 3 taels in advance for him, and we can make up for the exchange in various places in the future. Wait for the bridge If he wants to deny it after the completion of the final liquidation, then I will not accept the money."

After thinking about it again, Tong Jiu rubbed his hands and said happily, "To build such a bridge, there must be so many merchants coming and going, and they will all pay at our Huizhengsheng." He said with a face Looking forward to and satisfied, "Oh, just this time, all of our ticket numbers can be used."

Looking at the man who was still frowning just now, but now he is getting proud again, Ji Lan gave her a hand, and said amusedly, "Then how dare you ask Master Jiu where your ticket number is open? I started to have these spring and autumn dreams." .”

"Speaking of which, I was going to ask you." Thinking of what happened to Hehetang, Tong Jiu said, "What's the matter with their lawsuit at Hehetang? They left, and the shop was rented to us, right? I know there's something strange about it." , but I can’t figure it out, tell me about it, and let me learn a lot.”

"What knowledge do you have? That shop originally belonged to our family." Ji Lan said, "It's just that the location is noisy and it's not suitable for opening a drug store, so we have let distant relatives rent it out for many years."

"Then why was it rented to the Healing Hall?" Tong Jiu was even more confused after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter who you rent? Our Yangzhengtang has been open to this day, and it doesn't rely on the conspicuous shop. Besides, you often say that everyone does business. If they can keep their own place, I don't bother to waste all these troubles." Ji Lan frowned. Eyebrow: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you must kill yourself."

Tong Jiu nodded, and said, "It's really because their medicine has ruined people, or..."

"It's the prescription tiger bone pill that I sold to them before. The most important medicinal material is tiger bone. If it is replaced with jackal bone, it is taboo to cause vomiting and diarrhea. Healing Tang has been secretly buying our family's from shopkeeper Zhou. Tiger bones, I asked Miss Mi to mix some jackal bones and sell them." Ji Lan said truthfully without hiding it.

"Then the one who took the medicine to make trouble is also our distant house?" Tong Jiu thought for a while, and she looked like Lin Wu and his gang.

"Those are all people that Sister Mi and the others went to find in private, so I didn't ask any more." Ji Lan took Tong Jiu's hand, and said helplessly and earnestly, "Old Jiu, you have also watched, these things are not at all. It’s not out of my original intention. But since everything is in front of me, I can only do this. In this life, it’s easy to know the world, but it’s not easy to know the world without being worldly.”

"If the 20 taels of Jianqiao really can't come back, you don't have to worry about it, just treat it as your own merit." Ji Lan lowered his head and stroked Tong Jiu's hand, sighing, "Don't learn from me. "

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, we did it together, and we can still tell the difference between you and me?" Seeing Ji Lan's sudden loss and self-blame, Tong Jiu understood why she was sitting here copying scriptures.

So he jumped down from the table, embraced Ji Lan in his arms, shook the jade lock plate around his neck towards her, stroked the Yangzhengtang badge on the back that was not very clear, and said, "No, they are all hung up." It's your house sign. Everywhere I go, people with discerning eyes will know that I am the son-in-law of Yangzhengtang Nu Bodhisattva."

"He's talking nonsense again to deceive people." Ji Lan also stroked the lines on the Fuyu lock card.

"No." Tong Jiu argued, and vividly told Ji Lan the old couple he met when he was shopping for pears and what they said.

Seeing that Ji Lan laughed, Fang said seriously, "What will happen in the future, don't always be bored by yourself like this, and talk to me more, isn't it good?"

"I like your clear and clear appearance. I don't want you to see too much, and I don't want you to listen to too many dirty and dirty things." Ji Lan looked into Tong Jiu's eyes and said, "Some things, I just do it."

"Brother Jiu, there's a letter from Da Zhengchang from Jiangnan." Tong Jiu just wanted to refute, but when he heard Hong Xiao's voice outside the door, he reluctantly let go of the man in his arms.

Hongxiao came in from the outside, holding a letter in one hand, and a plate of sliced ​​white pears in the other, and put them on the table.

Tong Jiu took the letter from her and said to Ji Lan, "I bought it for you, so eat a little." Looking at the envelope, it was written by Chen Shuyuan, the shopkeeper of Jiangnan Dazhengchang, and opened the envelope carefully. watch.

"Well, these pears taste good. Have you all eaten Jingfu?" Ji Lan ate one piece and found it crispy, juicy, sweet and refreshing. After eating another piece, he said to Hongxiao, "Eat more pears in spring. Good for the throat."

Hong Xiao gave her a wink, and Ji Lan followed her wink and turned her head to look at Tong Jiu beside her. As expected, the expression on her frowning face changed, and she asked, "What's wrong?"

After reading the letter, Tong Jiu took a deep breath with his hands clenched into fists and let out a long breath. In order to relieve his rage, he slapped the letter on the desk in a state of upset, walked back and forth several times with his hands behind his back, and remained silent.

Ji Lan took the letter and looked at it. Chen Shuyuan, the chief shopkeeper of Dazhengchang, privately embezzled the wages that were supposed to be given to the tea farmers and lent them to Han Xianwu, the second master of the Han family, so that the tea farmers stopped working one after another.

Tong Jiu still couldn't hold back and scolded, "This Chen Shuyuan, what's the matter with him! I told him clearly that the 20 taels are the wages for the tea farmers, and they can't move if the sky falls. I don't understand what I said. ?"

"Don't be so angry." Ji Lan finished reading the outline, pulled her to sit on a chair, and said to Hong Xiao, "Go and order some soothing incense."

"I don't understand. This Chen Shuyuan is a Jinshi after all. He is knowledgeable and capable. How can he let Han Xianwu, who can't read a few words? His books are all read to the stomach Go inside!" Tong Jiu scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Now is the time for tea picking, and the tea farmers are all on strike, so why should I go to Guan Guan to sell without tea?"

?<one one zero>

"Shopkeeper Chen is not such an ignorant person. Presumably, those people from the second room must have made some hindrances. Otherwise, why would he be willing to lend 20 taels to Han Xianwu for no reason?" She still knows a little bit about human beings, so she tried to persuade her.

Ji Lan reassured, "The matter here will be available in two days. It's useless for you to be anxious now. Let's talk about it when we get to Jiangnan."

Ji Lan wrote the letter with a pen in his hand, saying, "Let the Fucha Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River collect 20 taels and send it to the tea mountain, and pay the tea farmers' wages. They will return to work, and it will not delay the big event of tea picking. Sister, go and call Jing Fu here."

When Jing Fu came in, Ji Lan handed her another written note and said, "Use your carrier pigeon to send a letter to Beijing, and ask Grandma of the Han family to set off and return to Jiangnan immediately."

"What are you calling auntie to do?" Tong Jiu asked annoyedly, frowning.

"These days have been delayed in Jining. We still have a lot of business to do when we arrive in the south of the Yangtze River. We don't have time to talk to them about the family's shortcomings. Han Xianwu is your elder, so there must be an elder in the family to speak out about this matter." . " After giving orders, Ji Lan saw that she was still sitting there sullenly.

Then he called Fu Chaqin to come in, and said, "I don't know how Huizhengsheng is doing, please invite Uncle Tong and Miss Lingxiu together, let's go to the river to relax."

"I didn't go, so I just came back. What's the point of breaking up." Tong Jiu muttered in a tempered mouth.

Ji Lan ignored her and went to the inner room to change clothes alone.

"If she asks you to go, you'll be sluggish. Don't make her unhappy by saying something or nothing. In the end, you still have to go." Taking advantage of Ji Lan's entrance into the inner room, Hong Xiao took her hat and put it on for her, and persuaded her in a low voice.

So Tong Jiu awkwardly waited with the group and arrived in front of Hui Zhengsheng.He walked around casually with his hands behind his back, feeling that everything was satisfactory, and then his face gradually brightened.

Ji Lan asked the servants to set up tea and fruit bowls in the pavilion by the canal, calling everyone to come in and sit around.

There is a large open space in front of the gazebo, and it just so happens that Yang Gu has been cooking hawks for the past two days without leaving home, so he can make it through.Let the servant go back to the mansion to bring the horse and the eagle, and the one who stepped down immediately walked up and down the field twice, and let Tong Jiu see the eagle.

After watching it for a while, Tong Jiu also became interested, pulled the reins and got on the horse, and followed Yanggu's horse to watch, inquiring about how to boil the eagle with Yanggu, and had a good chat.

"Knowing that she saw this, she didn't care at all when the sky fell. The madam has figured out Brother Jiu's temperament completely." Hong Xiao put a few cups of tea for Tong Jiu to dry on the stone table, watching the horses in the distance Tong Jiu, who was teasing the eagle with Yang Gu, said, "Thinking about it, I'm really scared. What should I do if I want to get angry again." With Ji Lan here, he saved a lot of worry.

Ji Lan picked up tea and came to the pavilion, looked at Tong Jiu in the distance, and said gently, "I often tell her that it's not worth getting angry about money, but why can't I listen to it?" .Which is more important, the body or the money, and it is always unclear." The affection is palpable, "Without her, what's the point of having so much money left."

After setting out the tea, Hongxiao stood next to Jilan, followed her gaze, and said, "She is used to being wrapped in gold and jade since she was a child, and she has never felt sorry for anything since she lost her family. It's just that she has grown up and suffered." Those accidents, knowing the suffering of not having money, and even more knowing the difficulties of people's livelihood, have made a lot of progress."

"I just like her like this." Ji Lan chuckled, followed Tong Jiu, who was confident in the field and gesticulating with Yang Gubi, who was so excited about what she was saying, and took a sip of tea lightly "clean."

On the way back, the two rode together slowly, and Ji Lan leaned against Tong Jiu's arms, playing with her sachet tassels, and said, "Now Jining Huizhengsheng has everything ready and only owes Dongfeng, who do you think?" Is it suitable to be the shopkeeper?"

"Like Jining, where there are many government offices and merchants, there are naturally many things to do. If you want to open a ticket office here, you must have a person who can be serious and handle things, but also has a good face." Tong Jiu thought for a while. "For a while...I really can't think of anything appropriate."

"I think, let Zhou Jingtang try it." Ji Lan said.

"Zhou Jingtang? The shopkeeper who privately sells medicinal materials to Healing Hall?" Tong Jiu doesn't know this person very well, but since Ji Lan thinks he can do it and is willing to use him again, she naturally has her plan "Aji thinks this person can do it." , it’s okay to try.”

"Zhou Jingtang is a prudent man and an economical talent. Ama respected him very much when he was here." Ji Lan said, "It was a big mistake for him to steal medicinal materials this time, but for the sake of his family's sick mother, he sold jackal bones. It can be regarded as an atonement for the matter. Yangzhengtang can't keep him, Huizhengsheng should give him another chance."

"It's true." Tong Jiu nodded.

"As for the Yangzhengtang in Jining, I'll hand it over to Liang Bai who you think is good. Whether it's okay or not, try a billing period first." Ji Lan looked back at Tong Jiu, and said, "What do you think of this arrangement?"

Tong Jiu circled Ji Lan in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's all right."

Two days later, Huizhengsheng's shop was ready, and Gao Bin's money was raised on the opening day. Seeing that Huizhengsheng had taken the first step, and the matter of Yangzhengtang was over, he ordered everyone to tidy up , set off for Jiangnan.

Lying in the cabin at night, you can hear the sound of the river outside the window.Under the dim candlelight, Ji Lan was looking at the idle book, and Tong Jiu was leaning against her, his head listlessly resting on the cloth tiger pillow, making him look sleepy.

Ji Lan read two more pages, her eyes were a little sore, she closed the book and leaned over to look at Tong Jiu in front of her, seeing that her eyes were open and lost in thought, Fang said, "Such a silence, I still think you are asleep."

Tong Jiu turned over, looked at Ji Lan, and said sadly, "Since I got that disease at the end of the year, although I have recovered now, my arms and legs are not as big as they used to be. Now I'm only in my twenties and I'm like this. I think it will drag you down when you get old in the future."

Seeing her suddenly like this, Ji Lan sat up slightly and leaned against the head of the bed, lightly pulled her arm and kneaded it, saying, "Your body is not comfortable until the day of Yuexin is approaching, it's okay."

Tong Jiu withdrew the arm rubbed by her, embraced Ji Lan's waist, buried her head in her arms, and said, "We will be together like this for the rest of our lives, and the next life."

Ji Lan caressed her braids, and said softly, "That's what you said in your previous life."

"Really?" Tong Jiu looked up at Ji Lan.

Ji Lan pulled the quilt and hugged her to lie down, and said, "Of course it's true. When we got married, I asked an expert to match the horoscope for us, saying that you and I are karma."

"There is such a thing, I haven't heard you mention it before." Tong Jiu regained her spirit after hearing this, and asked, "Then...what else?"

"It is said that you are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work all your life. You are a decisive and strong man, but you need to go through a lot of training. Say that I am gentle and calm, and I am generous. I am a man with a righteous heart that does not show on the outside." Ji Lan smiled. Said, "It is also said that our sons and daughters are around our knees, and eight sons will die in their later years."

"Bazi?" Tong Jiu laughed heartily after hearing this, and said, "What kind of expert are you? It's obviously nonsense. But think about it, there are two children, Su Le and Jin Ming. Come alone."

"Let me see, little Ama, who is only in her twenties, wants to raise a child to prevent her old age?" Ji Lan pinched her cheek, and said, "I don't want to, let's rest."

Knowing that Tong Jiu was thinking about the tea mountain, he drove the water day and night, and did not return to his home when he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, but went directly to the tea mountain in the countryside.

"Boss." Chen Shuyuan has been working on the Chashan side, and when he saw Tong Jiu and the others coming, he hurried over to greet him and answer.

"This is Madam." Tong Jiu introduced Ji Lan to him, and asked directly, "What is going on with the 20 taels of silver!"

Chen Shuyuan carefully looked at the people in the room, and was inconvenient to speak.

"Sister Hong, go and watch outside." Tong Jiu sat down on the old rattan chair with a sullen face, and said to Chen Shuyuan, "Say it."

"Boss, madam, I just want to ask, do you know a gentleman named Su Keha?" Chen Shuyuan said.

Tong Jiu shook his head, looked at Ji Lan, Ji Lan said, "Prefect of Baotou Mansion, what's wrong?"

"He is the magistrate of Yangzhou now." Chen Shuyuan frowned and said, "He has just arrived, and the owner of our mansion is not here. The second master went to eat the welcome banquet for you. It is probably because of your relationship, madam, so Mrs. Su will take the second." The master has become our own family, but I don’t know if he was drunk or what, he said that he had handled some murder cases for his wife in Baotou Mansion, and even released the death row prisoner privately.”

"Hiss..." Tong Jiu was pouring freshly brewed tea for Ji Lan, but when he heard this, his hands shook, and he poured his own.

Ji Lan hurriedly pulled the handkerchief from the front of his lapel to wipe it for her, saying, "What are you panicking about?"

I heard Chen Shuyuan continue to say, "The second master found me and wanted to borrow money. What if I borrowed five or seven or eight hundred taels? But he asked for 20 taels, and I absolutely refused to borrow it. He told me this, saying that if it is If we don’t borrow it, let’s publicize this matter. I also said that I will see Yinzi immediately. I lost my mind for a while, and the owner is far away, so I have to let him hold it first, and then discuss it in the long run.”

"I still think it's something, but it's hard for you." Ji Lan smiled, called Fu Chaqin to come in to find scald ointment, and said, "We know about this, the most urgent thing now is to help Master Jiu put away this year's tea .Like these, we will deal with them.”

"Hey, my boss and his wife are here, so I have the backbone." Chen Shuyuan said to Tong Jiu with a lack of apology, "The transfer of this money delayed the collection of tea, and made my boss anxious."

"Shopkeeper Chen, you are an old man from Dazhengchang, so you don't need to talk about it." Tong Jiu looked at the red back of his hand in pain, and sent him out, saying, "It's gone for a while, let's have a drink later."

After sending Chen Shuyuan away, Tong Jiu turned around and looked at Jilan. She knew that what Su Keha said was exactly the lawsuit she had filed in Baotou Mansion with Tuojilan.

"Just go and do your job for the prince with peace of mind. I will handle this matter with my aunt when she arrives. Don't worry, the 20 taels of silver can't be done without a tael!" Ji Lan sneered, and said, " Play black and eat black with me? Then let's see whose morality is higher."

Every time seeing Ji Lan's expression like this, Tong Jiu's scalp tingles.Clearing his throat, he didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart, "Second Han, I want to see how you screwed yourself up."

<one one one>

We stopped in Chashan for a day, and returned to the city early the next morning.

"Jiu Ye, many people from our Han family have come, and they are all waiting to pick you and your new wife back to the mansion at the gate of the city." Halfway through the car, a young man from the Han mansion came to report.

"Let them go back first, I'm still cold, Master Jiu will go back to Fucha Mansion to take care of me. If anyone wants to see Master Jiu, let him come to my house to see." He wiped the sweat from Tong Jiu's forehead .Tong Jiu was suffering from abdominal pain due to the arrival of Yue Xin, so she leaned on Ji Lan's shoulder with a pale face, trying her best to endure it.

"Jiuye, so you're not going back to the mansion today?" The servant of Han's mansion was not familiar with Ji Lan, he stood outside the car and asked hesitantly, "Is this the way to go back?"

"Listen to Madam." After Tong Jiu reluctantly said something, the coachman continued on his way and returned to Fucha Mansion.

Originally, Tong Jiu was cold on the ice before, after careful recuperation, most of the abdominal pain has been cured, but this time he was furious about Yin Zi, so he was sweating profusely from the pain and had to stay in bed rest.

On the one hand, Ji Lan let out the word, saying that Tong Jiu's condition has been repeated, and he wants to thank guests behind closed doors.On the other hand, according to the details on the gift list, he picked out some trivial and scattered items, and asked the people below to buy them separately.

"Ma'am, I found out everything." Fu Chami came back from the outside and said, "Han Xianwu is going to use this money to sell opium in Guangdong. I heard that he sent his eldest son Han Lufu to go to Guangdong yesterday. "

"Knowing that we're back, he's in a hurry to spend this money. Spend it, I'm afraid he won't spend it." After hearing this, Ji Lan wrote posts and letters, sending people to Su Keha's residence and Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou respectively. After sending it off, he gave Fuchami some instructions, and Fuchami hurried out after hearing this.

Two days later, Tong Jiu's complexion recovered a lot, and the grandma of the Han family returned from the capital.

"I heard that Lao Jiu's illness has relapsed, how is it now?" Grandma just went back to the Han Mansion for a short rest, and then hurriedly got a car and came to Fucha Mansion.

"It's much better these days, but I still don't have much strength." Ji Lan walked in to meet the eldest grandmother, and said, "I really have no choice but to let the grandmother come back in such a hurry."

"It's not your fault, this second child is too unreasonable!" The grandma said angrily, "The Han family's business has just improved, and they have to use silver everywhere in the spring, and he borrowed it! Can he have money?" What's the matter?"

"Back to grandma, I've been into the tobacco business recently, and I heard that the second master is going to smoke." There are some things that Ji Lan can't say, so Fu Chaqin said, "Grandma doesn't know something, when she just arrived outside the customs At that time, Jiuye Dazhengchang’s shop was rented by someone else, and the shop was originally a medical clinic, and the family’s treatment of illnesses caused people to die.”

A few people sat down in the hall, Fu Chaqin brought tea to the grandma, and said, "The government has arrested someone, and anyone else has to do everything possible to ask someone to take care of it, right? Jiuye wanted that shop, so he wrote to Beijing to find his wife." Let's see if I can talk to you. Madam saw that she was willing to help, and went out to Baotou Mansion in person the next day, and found Mr. Su Keha. Finally, he was released privately. Only then did Master Jiu have today's Baotou The pavement of Fuda Zhengchang."

"Without your wife, the Han family and Lao Jiu wouldn't be where they are today. Everyone in the Han family knows about this friendship." Grandma nodded.

"Master Su Keha came to Suzhou to be the magistrate. This is a good thing. He saw that the second master is the wife's husband's senior, and he talked about things in Baotou mansion when he established a relationship. But the second master threatened him with this matter. , If you don’t give the money, you will go out, and the shopkeeper Chen has no choice but to give him all the wages for the tea farmers.”

"This second child..." The grandma heard the whole story, beat her chest angrily, and said to Ji Lan, "I'll go to their house and ask him for money." After speaking, she got up and said Walk.

"Auntie, forget it. The third master of their family has already gone to Guangzhou with the money." Ji Lan grabbed the grandma and let her sit down, and said, "Give it to him this time, just don't come here again and again to ask for it." It's done. We don't care about money, it's just that Master Jiu's body can't stand such anger anymore. If something happens to her, let alone me, even the whole Han family has nothing to hope for."

"No, the second child used to be young, so he was just a mess. Now that Lu Ming and Lu Qi are both serving the imperial court, he still doesn't know what is important. Besides, our Han family can't tolerate any smoke dealers to corrupt the family style." The grandma got angrier as she talked, and she got up and said, "I'll go back and find your great-uncle to make the decision, and drive their second wife out of the ancestral hall. They won't even think about taking any more of the Han family's bonus."

"I'm going to see Lu Qi, I'll go back if there's nothing else." The grandma said and went to the place where the two lived with Ji Lan.

Hearing that the grandma was coming, Tong Jiu put on her clothes and went to the outer room to meet her, saying, "Madam came from the capital, did the journey go well?"

"Oh, Lao Jiu, you don't look very good." The grandma looked at Tong Jiu, and said worriedly, "Your second uncle has a great uncle and I to make decisions for you, so don't think too much about it. Take care of your body. If you want to have such a good wife, you will fail."

"I know, just rest for a few days." Tong Jiu looked at Ji Lan and smiled.

The grandma said again, "I came this way, and I left in a hurry. Our boat broke down just after passing Shandong. Thanks to the aunt who met Qi's family, she went to Guangzhou and took me on this trip, otherwise there would be no trouble." So fast."

"You mean, Qi Jia Muyun? Has she gone to Guangzhou?" Tong Jiu raised her eyebrows in surprise, her expression changed, "She still went."

After chatting for a while, Grandma said goodbye and went back home.

After Ji Lan sent her grandma back, she saw Tong Jiu standing in front of the window, looking at the rugged path outside, muttering, "The past is dark and dark, the color is as clear, and it is light. After years of sorrow and joy, it is as pure as a mirror, and it is quiet. I and She, after all, is still born."

"Oh? There is no distinction, does Master Jiu have any affectionate ideas?" Ji Lan sat straight on the couch, and glanced at Tong Jiu with great interest.

"Even if there is nothing, I don't want her to dump the smoke." Tong Jiu closed the window casually and said.

"Everyone has their own destiny, but if you don't want to, what's the use?" Ji Lan said in dislike, "You should take care of your own affairs."

Tong Jiu walked to the couch, smiled wickedly, and said sincerely, "Aji looks so delicious when he eats it!"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Ji Lan pushed away Tong Jiu who came closer.

Besides, Grandma Han left the Fucha mansion and went to the mansion of the great-uncle Han, the head of the Han family.

"I heard that dozens of people from our clan went to pick them up at the city gate, and Lao Jiu and Lao Jiu's daughter-in-law didn't even get out of the car, and went directly to her daughter-in-law's house?" Grand-uncle was smoking a cigarette in a dull mood. "I just said 'all according to Madam', why? He can't even do that?"

"My husband is not doing well, so I can't blame Lao Jiu." The grandma said angrily, "The business was not good that day, and the family was about to lose. The Han family today. The Fucha family is a good person. They are willing to help Lao Jiu sincerely. Seeing that Lao Jiu's business is doing well everywhere, he just speaks hard in the house. The second master came to do this kind of sabotage again. For the matter, I, a woman, will be ashamed, let alone Lao Jiu."

"Second? What's wrong with him?" Grand Uncle knocked on the cigarette pot.

Grandma told Grand Uncle what Han Xianwu did when she went to Fucha's mansion just now.

"Selling tobacco and soil is not the right way, and sooner or later it will bring disaster to the family." Grand Uncle said solemnly, "Our Han family cannot tolerate such disobedient descendants. If he insists on taking this way, he can only be cleared."

"Of course it's going to hurt his descendants. It's fine if he doesn't learn well, and let Lu Fu's kid go to Guangzhou to help him sell opium." The grandma shook her head helplessly. "Second room, it's a serious matter."

"I always have to pray for the deer." The uncle said fairly, "I'll have someone call the second child over later, and tell him that the 20 yuan will be deducted from the bonus of their second room. If you really dare to go out and talk nonsense without recognizing your relatives, we will clear his family tree."

"Yes." The grandma nodded and said, "Uncle, if the Han family wants to honor their ancestors, they still have to rely on the two children Lu Ming and Lu Qi. Only with fame and honor can our Han family be regarded as a family of officials. "

After the eldest grandma left, the great uncle called Han Xianwu, and he gave him a severe reprimand.Han Xianwu has been used to disobedience since he was a child, and now he is a person who wants to make a fortune in the tobacco business, so how could he pay attention to any patriarch.He heard that he wanted to deduct his bonus, but he refused.

There was a quarrel between the two sides, and the uncle was so angry that he had a heart attack, his eyes turned black, he pointed at the door with his crutches, and said angrily, "Get out, the Han family will never have you as an unworthy descendant!" Then He took the ancestral certificate of the Han family and removed Han Xianwu's lineage.

Two days later, Tong Jiu recovered and left for the Weaving Bureau in Hangzhou to get the silk for Mugege's wedding.

It took five days to go back and forth, and she came back only to see Fu Chaqin at the door, so she hurried to the mansion and asked, "Where's Madam?"

"The second master of your house is here, is he talking in the main hall?" Fu Chaqin said.

"He's here?" Tong Jiu squeezed the horsewhip in his hand, and said displeasedly, "He's here, why don't you stay with Madam inside, what are you doing to meet me!" Saying that, he hurried to the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, seeing Ji Lan sitting there safe and sound, Fang heaved a sigh of relief, walked over to the ground and saw fragments of teacups scattered all over the floor.

"Han Xianwu, you're here to play tricks while I'm not in the house, right?" Tong Jiu turned around and pointed at Han Xianwu with a whip, and said, "I'll see if you hit another one!"

"Eh? Han Luqi, which eye of yours saw that I smashed it!" Han Xianwu stared angrily, stood up and said, "I'm your second uncle, what's the matter, you still want to fight with me?"

"Lu Qi." Ji Lan called Tong Jiu, stood up and gently pulled her to his side, and said slowly, "Are you tired these days?" He took the horsewhip in her hand, and said, "Let Sister Hong Waiting for you to take a bath."

"Mr. Fucha, just tell me whether you will help me or not?" Han Xianwu said impatiently, "It just so happens that Lao Jiu is back, Lao Jiu, you have to save your third brother."

"You go back first, I have to discuss it with Lu Qi, and think of a way." Ji Lan said, leading Tong Jiu to go back, and said, "You go back to the house and wait. Sister Qin, see off the guests."

<one one two>

"Did he hurt you?" At the back, Tong Jiu circled Ji Lan and hugged her tightly in his arms, looking carefully for fear that Ji Lan would disappear if he loosened his hands, and said a little unhappy, "Jing Where did Fu go?"

Since her trip to Yangzhou was not far away, she didn't take Jing Fu with her.

"This is my residence." Ji Lan looked up at the concerned man in front of him covered in fine sweat, "He dare not be presumptuous."

The weather has been a bit hot recently, Tong Jiu has always been afraid of the heat, "Go take a bath first, change into light clothes, let's talk later."

"Let's go together." Tong Jiu stopped Ji Lan's waist, unwilling to let go of his hands, and smiled.

"It's bright and sunny, just come back and just cling to it like this, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Ji Lan played with the gold-plated buttons on the front of her mandarin jacket, but let her hug her.

"Who's making a joke?" Tong Jiu looked around, and said confidently, "Why didn't I see it."

"Then you...are you missing me?" Ji Lan asked jokingly with a long tone.

"Then you...don't think about me?" Tong Jiu imitated her tone and asked with raised eyebrows.Seeing that Ji Lan smiled and said nothing, he leaned over to steal a scent on her lips, and shook her twice, "Say, don't you miss me?"

Seeing that Ji Lan was still shaking her head, Tong Jiu hugged her by the waist feigning anger, and walked quickly towards the Tianmu Pool behind, saying as she walked, "If you don't think about it, I'm not my wife, so I have to be good." Verify your identity and see who this beauty is."

Tianmu Pool is built according to the hot springs in the garden, and the temperature of the spring water is suitable for all seasons.Since Tong Jiu had a stroke, Ji Lan specially ordered that all the water for her bathing must be taken from springs in various places, and different medicinal materials should be selected according to the weather and her physical condition for the medicinal bath.

"Master Jiu, madam, sister Hong still has something to do." Fu Chaqin brought the clean clothes of the two of them, lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "How about I come and take care of Master Jiu to take a bath?"

"No need, we'll just come by ourselves." Ji Lan knew what Fuchaqin was thinking. Although she was a master and servant, after all men and women couldn't get along. She couldn't help but Hongxiao wasn't around, so she waved her hand and said, "Go Stay outside."

"When I was young, I heard people say that women were not allowed to stay in university. I didn't like to hear it." Tong Jiu unbuttoned the jacket, and said with some displeasure, "But now, Hongxiao's thoughts are more and more not on me. This I went to Yangzhou to do silk and satin, and I looked at the materials and tried to make clothes for Jing Fu, but I didn’t have any.”

"What kind of material do you not have? You can make as many as you can with this single-breasted waistcoat." Ji Lan took Tong Jiu's faded waistcoat, bent down to untie her belt, "Hong Xiao and Jing Fu both It's other people's business to be happy with each other, why are you so awkward." As he said, he pinched her waist, but felt two hard objects in the skirt.

"Look, they forgot about it." Tong Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, unbuttoned the gown three times, reached in and took out a small pouch wrapped in a white handkerchief, unbuttoned it Spread it in front of Ji Lan.

Ji Lan saw that it was two finger rings, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, one was white jade, the upper and lower edges were engraved with a knife, and in the middle was the gold-filled regular script "Two People Peaceful".The other one is emerald, its color is full of green and as clear as water, and it is also engraved with fretwork and some poems.

"Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon. If you don't meet at the top of Qunyu Mountain, you will meet at Yaotai under the moon.
