Tong Jia anecdote

<twenty-eight>

After hearing what Jin's sister-in-law said, Mrs. Wu raised her head and looked at Jilan carefully.I saw her slender and well-proportioned figure under the plain and simple flag dress, and she was charming and graceful, so I knew she was a bannerman.

Although no powder is applied on the face, the color is like the morning glow and snow.Although there is a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, the aloofness and frankness that everyone has is not concealed between his brows.Calm without losing personality.

Even though she was silent at the moment, there was a hint of the attitude of Ban Ji continuing history and Xie Tingyongxue's attitude looming on her body.It all proves that the woman in front of her is by no means the money-smelling businessman in the market, but a remarkable person.

"I just want to meet Han Dong's family." Looking at Ji Lan, Wu Shi repeated her request sincerely, showing that she did not have any malicious intentions.

Hearing her persistence, Ji Lan pursed her lips and smiled.Patiently and modestly said, "Our Lu Qi is not a rare person, so what's the point if we meet him."

As he spoke, he gave Fuchami a look, and Fuchami understood and retreated, "It's just that something happened suddenly yesterday, and she didn't have a rest after staying overnight. She only had breakfast when I came out. I'm afraid it's a rest now." Get off. When she wakes up, invite her to come and meet you."

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Lan understood that Wu's situation was indeed as Jin's sister-in-law said, and there was no one in her mother-in-law's house.It is said that her father used to be a wealthy wine dealer, and when he went to the grassland to sell wine, there was a war and an accident occurred on the way.

The family was ruined, and the folks were all dispersed. She met Bayin who was willing to collect and repair her father's grave, and finally married Bayin after several twists and turns.

"I heard that Han Dong's family and his wife just got married not long ago. For our family's funeral, I am really sorry to trouble you all to wear sackcloth and mourning." After chatting for a while, they got to know each other a little better, and both of them put down their guard, Wu said frankly.

Seeing that Ji Lan wanted to comfort her, Wu shook her head and said, "Life and death are fateful. As early as when my father was in misfortune, I took it lightly." He said with a sigh, "Jiangnu Mengshi cried down the Great Wall. It's just a pile of bones. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and the living must live."

"Ma'am, Lord Jiu is here." After Wu Shi finished speaking, Ji Lan was sighing inwardly for the woman's generosity, when an announcement came from outside the door.So, everyone stood up to greet him.

The door curtain was lifted, and a young man who was not too tall came in with a cold body, because the green snow fell outside at some time.After this person entered the door, he first brushed off the coat on his body and stomped his feet.Then he took off his hat and looked up at the crowd.

"It's snowing?" Ji Lan brought hot tea to her, turned around to look at Wu Shi and said to Tong Jiu, "This is the younger brother and sister of Bayin's family, Wu Shi." Then she dragged Tong Jiu and walked up to Wu Shi." This is Bayin's owner."

Tong Jiu looked at Wu Shi, put down the hot tea in his hand, and said slowly, "I drank the wine you brewed yesterday. It is soft in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste after drinking. It is different from those dry and thorny wines on the grassland. The ratio of shochu to throat can be described as unique ingenuity and intoxicating fragrance. There are thousands of waters in the world, but this brew is the only one that pours my heart."

"Ahem——." Ji Lan cleared his throat, reminding someone of his gaffe.

Wu Shi was unabashedly praised by Tong Jiu as soon as he came in, and his expression was a little fleeting.

Several people sat down one after another, Ji Lan looked at Tong Jiu who was drinking tea silently, and said to Wu, "She met after drinking a few days ago, and she has been drinking Chinese medicine for recuperation. She has given up drinking. But yesterday , I didn’t take a look at it, and drank some secretly. When I was writing at night, my hands started to shake.”

"Ahem——." Tong Jiu cleared her throat this time, reminding someone to stop talking about her embarrassing things.

Wu Shi nodded understandingly, looked at Tong Jiu who was sitting in the distance, and also took a sip of tea.

Compared with the common roughness of Bayin and other men, this man obviously hasn't lost his boyish temperament.In terms of appearance, the edges and corners are very delicate, and the pair of smiling eyes are very pleasing, which makes people feel close to each other.Be unassuming, not ostentatious, noble and simple, and quiet.

"Steward Jin told me about the situation in your house. I know that you have nothing to rely on. In the future, you will live alone, and it will be difficult for you to live alone." Tong Jiu said to Wu Shi, returning to the main topic, "I don't know what we plan to do in the future, we It’s better to try your best.”

Seeing that Wu Shi has not spoken for a long time.

Tong Jiu said kindly, "Of course, we will take out a sum of money from the cabinet as a pension."

"No amount of money can buy my husband's life." Wu said in a deep voice.

"That's natural, but the matter has come to this, you still have to mourn, and make more long-term plans." Tong Jiu took a sip of tea, looked at Ji Lan, and said slowly, "It's not in a hurry."

"I don't want any pension money, my husband's life is priceless." Wu Shi bit her lip, suppressing the grief in her heart, and said truthfully, "I want to open a wine shop." After finishing speaking, she was somewhat embarrassed.

"Yes, as long as you have the willingness in this regard, we are willing to help you achieve it." Tong Jiu agreed decisively and cheerfully, then tilted his head to look at Ji Lan, and asked, "What do you think, madam?"

Ji Lan smiled, and responded roughly, "I listen to my husband."

"Then it's settled." Tong Jiu promised to Wu Shi, "We will start to organize the winery after the funeral of Brother Bayin. At that time, our Han family will spare no effort to help you. rest assured."

So, after these matters were settled, Ji Lan and Tong Jiu left Dazhengchang and returned to Yangzhengtang together.

Looking at large flakes of snowflakes falling in the gray sky, the road has already been covered with a small layer of snow, and walking on it makes a "creaking" sound, which makes the already desolate Serbia even more desolate.

"Is the wine she brews really so delicious?" Ji Lan sighed with a pale breath, "You don't even think about it, just agree to open a winery with one sip."

Tong Jiu nodded affirmatively, "Her wine tastes really good. You'll know it after drinking it. Besides, how much silver can you use to open a wine shop? We have a lot of sorghum for wine making, just use it for her. "

"Heh——." Ji Lan sneered, glanced sideways at Tong Jiu, and said, "Han Dong's family now has the attitude of spending a lot of money, and is no longer the one who was blocked at the door of the house by creditors—"

Before Ji Lan could finish speaking, Tong Jiu stopped walking and looked at her with a trace of anger in her eyes.

Ji Lan spread her hands, nodded and said, "I just want to say, you are quite good at provoking widows."

"What do you mean?" Tong Jiu's face turned completely cold, she didn't like Ji Lan's strange and insinuating attitude.

"It's not interesting." Ji Lan grabbed her and continued to walk towards Yangzhengtang, "You also said that for some things, doing it once is enough."

"Then it's up to you." After a long time, Tong Jiu mumbled while sullenly.

Ji Lan paused amusedly, pulled Tong Jiu back and asked, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything!" Tong Jiu stared, determined not to say it a second time.

"Oh, I dare to speak like my aunt." Ji Lan raised his sleeves, exposed his arms, stood there with his arms folded, and stared back at Tong Jiu.

"Let's go, it's freezing cold." Tong Jiu interrupted and helped Ji Lan put down her sleeves, and took her into the gate of Yangzhengtang's mansion with good words of persuasion, "All the men are dead, so this request is not too much. "

"Okay, since I've heard about this matter from you, it's all up to you." Ji Lan said that he would no longer discuss this topic, and said, "It's starting to snow, and it's time for us to go back to the capital after this is dealt with as soon as possible. gone."

"Ji Lan." Tong Jiu and Ji Lan went to the main hall, and together they loosened their cumbersome coats and cloaks, "If one day I die, you won't shed tears either."

"Of course not." Ji Lan replied without thinking.

Tong Jiu curled her lips and nodded, pretending to be sad, caressing her heart and saying, "It's a guess."

"You are so young, if you die, I will die first." Ji Lan glanced at her wrinkled face, and said jokingly, "Come on, cry for me first, so that I won't be able to see it when I get it."

"Miss, Master Tanhua has a letter." Fuchami happily ran in from outside and handed the letter to Jilan.

Ji Lan took the letter, caressed the envelope and smiled affectionately, then raised her head and asked Tong Jiu, "Is there anything else?"

Tong Jiu shook her head, watching Ji Lan enter the inner room with a happy smile, she had never seen Ji Lan laughing so madly.After sitting for a while, he felt that he was bored, so he got up resentfully, and went to the front shop.

"Grandpa, let's go make the bunk?" Fu Chaqin came in from the yard and met Tong Jiu head-on.

"Sister Qin——." Tong Jiu greeted her with a smile, and after greeting each other, Tong Jiu said in a low voice with a little hesitation, "Sister Qin, I want to ask you something. Who is that Master Tan Hua?"

Hearing her question, Fu Chaqin was startled for a moment, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said truthfully, "It's Mrs. Chen Jingyi."

"Chen Jingyi——." Tong Jiu thought about the name, but didn't recognize it, and asked, "What do you do, are you familiar with your lady?"

"My lord Chen is now the censor of the left deputy of the Procuratorate. He has known our lady since she was a child." Fu Cha asked and answered each sentence with a keen eye.

Tong Jiu nodded, unwilling to ask any more questions, sighed, lifted her robe, stepped over the threshold, and went out.Zuo Fudu Yushi was a third-rank Feng Xianguan, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. Looking at the snow-covered courtyard, her heart was gray.

Fu Chaqin just came back to the house, and Ji Lan just read the letter, and asked in a good mood, "Is there anything else I haven't prepared? I plan to get up later and return to Beijing."

"Master, just now my uncle inquired about Mr. Chen's affairs with this servant, and this servant just replied that the lord has known you since childhood, so my uncle's face became dark. This servant looked at my uncle because he was distracted. Would you like to come sooner about Mrs. Chen's matter?" Have you explained it to my aunt?" Fu Chaqin asked worriedly.

"Oh?" Ji Lan chuckled, and said, "Children just love to turn heads. I made it clear to her from the beginning that we got married to give me back my freedom. We are only a couple in name. Besides, according to her situation , what else can I have with her?"

Fu Chaqin thought of Tong Jiu's unhappy look when he went out just now, and said, "You treat him like a brother and sister, but he treats you——."

Ji Lan leaned into Fuchaqin's ear, whispered a few words, and said, "Do you understand now?"

"I never thought she was—." Fu Chaqin exclaimed in a complicated heart, "I usually take you as a real thing. If this is the case, then your long-term plan with Mr. Chen is also right."
