Tong Jia anecdote

<twenty-six>

When Ji Lan just left, Hong Xiao went to the dining room to ask Tong Jiu for a pot, and asked them to prepare some side dishes.Hearing that they came back, they called the maidservant to bring in the food.

As soon as Tong Jiu entered the room, he could smell the aroma of the vegetables in the pot. At that time, he put a smile on his face, took off the cotton cap on his head, and walked to the side hall looking for the aroma.

"Young master is back!" Seeing her come in, Fu Chaqin saluted slightly and took the hat from her hand.She waved to her back, and the little maids on the left and right came over one after another with basins of warm water to wash her hands, and served hot tea when she sat down.

Tong Jiu looked back at Fu Chaqin who was standing aside, and said, "I'll just have Sister Hong here, and Ji Lan is behind, you go and serve."

After she went out, Hongxiao came in with the hot wine pot, and said, "I think you will be hungry when you come back, so I asked them for a sauerkraut pot." After finishing speaking, she put the wine pot on the table and asked for the wine cup.

"Sit down and eat something with me." Tong Jiu pulled her, let her sit next to him, and put the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, then squeezed the wine cup and filled it up.

Hongxiao held a small bowl, holding vegetables for her, and said in a low voice, "I'm thinking, you should stop taking medicine these few days and drink a few cups of wine to drive away the cold. You and I will fall asleep after bathing, it's okay."

Seeing Tong Jiu try a cup, he narrowed his eyes hotly, handed over the bowl containing the dishes, and said with a doting smile, "How is it?"

"Good wine, fragrant!" Tong Jiu smacked his mouth in unsatisfied enthusiasm, took two mouthfuls of food, and poured another cup.

Listening to her saying that the wine is delicious, Hongxiao nodded, held the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth twice and said, "I know you like to drink Mongolian shochu, it's made by Bayin of the camel team with this year's new sorghum , sent by his wife."

"Ba Yinna——." Tong Jiu turned the wine cup, expressing his impression of this person.He is a young man about his own age, not very talkative.

After eating a few more mouthfuls of food, he asked casually with a smirk, "What does his wife look like? Is she pretty? Did she cook this wine?"

"Brother——." Hong Xiao was helpless, since Tong Jiu's head was smashed, she became more and more cynical, and she often had no taboos when speaking.

Tong Jiu took another cup, sniffed the lingering fragrance in the wine cup, and said affirmatively, "I would know it even if you don't tell me, it must be a wonderful person who can make such a delicious wine." He burped while speaking. There is something in my heart."

"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful, eat it quickly." Hong Xiao smiled amused by her playfulness.

After taking a bath, like every night, when Tong Jiu returned to the bedroom, Ji Lan was leaning on the couch and flipping through the catalog in deep thought.Hearing her come in, he raised his eyes a little and continued to look.

Tong Jiu yawned and walked to the couch and sat upright.Picking up the pen and sighing, he opened the Buddhist scriptures and continued to copy without saying a word.

Copying stopped and stopped several times, changing several sheets of paper one after another.

Ji Lan put down the booklet in her hand, got up and went to the desk to get a cup of tea, glanced at her badly written words, lightly parted her red lips, and said leisurely, "I smell of alcohol all over my body, and my heart is impetuous."

Tong Jiu tugged at her wide sleeves, put down her pen, muttered dissatisfiedly, and explained, "I was distracted by thinking about things in the store."

Ji Lan nodded, and carefully read her handwriting page by page.After drinking his own tea, Fang said after a while, "You are not allowed to drink, one is because the injury on your head has not healed yet. The other is that you are shaking your hand. Didn't you notice it?"

Tong Jiu froze for a moment, stretched out her hand and looked at it.

"I stopped drinking a few days ago, and my handwriting is better, but today I'm trembling again?" Ji Lan put the words in front of Tong Jiu, and tapped on a few words.

Tong Jiu said to Tong Jiu, who was looking at the words carefully, "Stop writing, go to bed early." After speaking, he put down the teacup and went to bed.

"Today, when the goods were matched, I thought of a way and wanted to tell you about it." Tong Jiu came back to her senses and said first.

Ke Jilan had already gone to bed.Tong Jiu had no choice but to follow her, stood at the head of the bed, and looked at her with her head tilted.

"I've told you a few times. At home, especially in the bedroom, between you and me, don't discuss the troublesome things in front of you." Fu Chaqin had warmed the quilt beforehand, and Ji Lan was wrapped in a warm and fragrant quilt Stop, let out a comfortable breath, the voice is lazy and low.

Tong Jiu loosened the jacket and trousers on her body, gently lifted up a corner of the quilt, and got into the bed.

"You, who let you in." Ji Lan was just shaking his feet comfortably, when suddenly his right arm felt cold, Tong Jiu got into his quilt, and said angrily.

The two of them have always slept on their own quilts, but since it was cold outside the customs at night, they could hear the howling cold wind outside with their eyes closed, and the room was very quiet at night.

Whenever the two of them wake up in the morning, they will find that they have fallen asleep in the same bed at some point.Of course, most of the time Tong Jiu got into Ji Lan's quilt.But it was the first time that he got in brazenly before he fell asleep.

"I want to sleep next to you." Tong Jiu put her arms around her cloth tiger, lay there and looked up at Ji Lan, without any sense of being disgusted, and said with a smile, "Reassuring."

"When will you grow up?" Ji Lan patted her forehead helplessly, "Lie down and go to sleep." After speaking, he pulled the quilt and turned around.

Tong Jiu arranged her pillow, and lay down obediently next to Ji Lan, "I think I'm in love with women."

"Sleep." Ji Lan ignored her words and emphasized again.

Tong Jiu leaned forward, pressed her face against her back, and there was no more movement.Ji Lan wanted to push her away, but seeing that she was honest, he didn't say anything.Thinking about what she just said, her eyelids became heavy, and she gradually fell asleep.

"Bang bang bang—" suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, and Tong Jiu, who had already fallen asleep, was shocked all over his body, and opened his eyes to look around blankly.

"What's the matter?" Ji Lan asked in a deep voice, stroked Tong Jiu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll sleep with you." As she spoke, she slowly got up, took the big coat beside the pillow and put it on, got up and got down bed.

"Master, someone was killed in the front warehouse. The stack of medicinal materials fell down, killing a person." It was Fuchami's reply, very eager.

Tong Jiu sat up after hearing the "huh", and said to the outside door, "What's the matter, come in and answer!" After speaking, he wrapped his robe around his body and buttoned it hastily.

"Let me do it." Ji Lan saw that the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't tie any of them, she pulled her closer and said, "Why are you panicking, why don't I go and have a look?"

"No need!" Looking at the fastened buttons, Tong Jiu's head cleared up a little, and said, "Death is not a good thing, it's already this time, I'll just go by myself, you go to sleep."

"Lu Qi, let shopkeeper Jin and Jing Fu go with you." Before Tong Jiulin went out, Ji Lan held her collar around her collar and patted the jade lock on her chest to make her more stable. mind.

When Tong Jiu arrived at the warehouse, he was already covered with a white cloth and wrapped in a mat.

"How are you guys so poor!" Seeing Tong Jiu's silence, Jin Buchang, the chief treasurer of Baotou Mansion, loudly scolded the stewards who had just stayed on duty for the night.He said to the crying buddies, "Okay, don't cry, get over here and call back to the boss."

"Who is dead?" Tong Jiu was only a few steps away from the board where the corpse was parked, looking at the felt boots of the deceased exposed to the outside, breathing cold air from the soles of his feet, and asked in a trembling voice.

"It's Bayin from the Dazhengchang caravan." The steward on duty replied in a low voice.

After hearing this, Tong Jiu felt very sad, her eyebrows and nose condensed into a ball, pointed to the corpse, and said, "Open the mat."

"Boss, the person was crushed to death, so don't look at it." After hearing this, Butler Jin's frightened hair stood on end, and he earnestly advised.

Tong Jiu shook his head, "No." He said to everyone present, "If he was your brother, would you still be afraid to see him for the last time? He died for our Han family, and he is my brother! I have to see it." He glanced at it and opened it."

"Open it, open it." Butler Jin couldn't persuade him, and he couldn't let Tong Jiu lift the mat himself, and ordered the servants on the left and right.

The boys from the three nearby took courage and slowly lifted the mat and white cloth.

Seeing the smashed bloody and indistinguishable corpse, Tong Jiu felt sick and almost staggered and fell down.

Fortunately, Hua Jingfu behind her had a quick eye, and covered the mat again in a timely manner, and scooped her up with the other hand without a trace.

"Bring his family and go now." Tong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered to Butler Jin in an orderly manner, "Go and buy the best coffin in the city, and the money will be paid from our Dazhengchang cabinet. Put it in the house , one counts as one, and they all wear sackcloth and filial piety."

I looked up and saw the dazzling red lanterns at the warehouse door, and said to the boy behind me, "Go, replace all the red lanterns. Go to the backyard and report to my wife. Just say, I'm here tonight to watch the night, and I won't go back to sleep." .”

So, the mansion began to arrange funerals overnight, and a mourning hall was built on the spot in the warehouse yard, and the servants distributed mourning clothes to various places and kept watch at night.

"Master Jiu, Ma'am, please go back and have breakfast." The sky lit up a bit, and the young man in the backyard came to pass the message.

This night, no matter how much he wore, he was still freezing through. Tong Jiu rubbed his hands in a daze, and called Hua Jingfu to go back together.

Just after leaving the yard, I ran into Butler Jin who came back from the outside, and replied, "Jiuye, I went to Bayin's house. There are no parents in the hall, and there are no brothers and sisters in their house. Only his wife is in the house."

"Where are people?" It was too cold in the morning, Tong Jiu stomped his feet in the cold, stuffed his hands into his sleeves, and breathed out.

"Temporarily resettled in our back house in Dazhengchang, and let my family bring a few wives to accompany me." Looking at Tong Jiu, whose eyes were bloodshot and his lips were black from the cold, Butler Jin hurried out of the way.

I still didn't forget to ask, "Master Jiu, are you going back to have dinner?" Seeing that Tong Jiu said yes, he didn't forget to ask, "Then go quickly. This matter will take a while and won't be over, you should go first Come back after a good night's sleep, we will support you, don't worry."

"Hey, I'll go back to have a meal first, and change my clothes." Tong Jiu stretched out her arms, straightened her gown and said, "I came here in a hurry yesterday and didn't wear much. Then I will trouble you and my sister-in-law to take care of it. Someone send someone to call me from behind."
