<twenty-nine>

In the evening, after Tong Jiu came back, Ji Lan also felt that the two of them had been playing together for so long, and there were some things that needed to be clarified.

"Lu Qi, I have something to tell you." Ji Lan lay on the bed, and his voice reached Tong Jiu who was sitting beside the bed copying Buddhist scriptures, a little clear and distant.

Tong Jiu put down the pen, put away the manuscript and said, "Let's go."

"Actually, I also have a childhood sweetheart, that is Chen Jingyi." Ji Lan sat up slowly, and said slowly to Tong Jiu's back, "His father was teaching in our house at that time, and their family is Han."

Tong Jiu was silent, and Ji Lan continued to preach, "He is talented and diligent, and he won the Juren in his teens. When my Ama and Guerjia made an appointment for my marriage, he rushed to pass the exam. .”

Tong Jiu smiled, unable to tell whether it was joy or sorrow, and said, "The story of a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"Yeah, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, there is no difference between destiny and destiny." Ji Lan recalled, sighing, "In those years, all I thought about were these words."

"What happened after that? The poor scholar became Master Tanhua in high school, and his childhood sweetheart, Miss Qianjin, has never married. Miss Qianjin finally got rid of her status as a widow, and lived together with Master Tanhua." Tong Jiu looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the case in a daze. the way.

Ji Lan who was behind him laughed softly, and said, "Is there such a man in the world? He married a daughter of the Zuo Shilang's family, and the child is now eight years old. However, last year, the lady was seriously ill and passed away. gone."

"Oh." Tong Jiu got up, stroked the skirt of his body, and said with understanding and playfulness, "So Miss Qianjin is going to fill in someone's house and become a stepmother?"

"You——." Ji Lan watched Tong Jiu put on the cotton boots, fur cap, and cloak in one go, unhappily, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's just a nominal couple, there's no need to be so serious." Tong Jiu shouted outside after finishing speaking, "Hongxiao, let's go back to Zhengchang!"

"Going back to Dazhengchang, did you forget that Mrs. Wu is still living there? If you go back at this time, you are not afraid of being gossiped about." Ji Lan looked at Tong Jiu who was walking back and forth, packing his things.

Tong Jiu still stood there with his back to her, and said with a self-mockery, "I'm still thinking hard about the business of the three companies, and thinking about how to prevent Yang Zhengtang from throwing away the medicine." After speaking, he took off the warm hat from his head, turned around and pointed at her Yang pointed to the top of the hat and said, "What color is this, huh?"

Ji Lan was speechless.

"Crack." Tong Jiu threw his hat on the ground angrily, and shouted, "There is nothing fresher than this green one!" After finishing speaking, he took his cloth tiger pillow and kicked the door out, "Hongxiao, let's go!"

"Ah—." Tong Jiu, who was sitting in the carriage, covered her head and sobbed.

Hong Xiao held her head, stroking her heart, and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter, didn't it go well just now. What about the hat? The sweat on the forehead comes out to blow the air, can it get better?"

"Headache, headache." Tong Jiu beat the top of his head hard, suffering unspeakably.

In the end, he went to Hui Zhengsheng's backyard, tidied up the room hastily, and now asked the guys to light the stove and burn the kang, and Tong Jiu lived in.

The pain was so unbearable, Tong Jiu hugged the half jar of soju on the table and drank it down, and soon fell asleep on the kang with his arms around Buhuo in a daze.

Hongxiao didn't dare to touch her too much, she tiptoedly covered her with a quilt, felt the kang was quite warm, stood on the edge of the kang and looked at her with a sad face.During this period of time, I have been talking and laughing all the time, and I have a good life, why did I start crying like this again?

In the middle of the night, Tong Jiu woke up thirsty.

"How is it, does your head still hurt?" Hong Xiao, who was sleeping on the side, asked, reaching out to touch her forehead, "Have you drank?" Seeing her nodding, she got up in cloaked clothes to get water for her.

After drinking water, Tong Jiu didn't want to lie down immediately, so she put on her clothes and sat up, and asked, "Sister, if I go to the scientific examination, what can I get back?"

Hong Xiao was dumbfounded by her unreasonable question in the middle of the night, she pulled the clothes on her shoulders and said, "What kind of imperial examinations are you taking? Know?"

"Huh?" Now Tong Jiu became more energetic, "Is Han Luqi Tanhua? Why haven't I heard of it at all?"

"You're all focused on business, so you didn't take this into consideration. The Han family is rich but not expensive. This generation plans to change the family through the imperial examination. No one is in business anymore." Hong Xiao told her.

"Han Luqi has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. In his teens, he was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy and the assistant editor of the National History Museum. Unfortunately, his health was really bad, so he had to resign." Hongxiao regretted, "It's no wonder Mr. Han has finally seen through the world of mortals."

"Why are there so many people who are so smart when they were young? Think about when I was young, I was holding an abacus every day." Tong Jiu puffed her mouth awkwardly, then thought about it, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then now, don't I also become an abacus?" Master Tanhua, isn't he?"

"Yes, may I ask what orders Master Tanhua has?" Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Hong Xiao followed her.

Tong Jiu shook his head, "I am not born well, and I will change it if I work hard the day after tomorrow. But there are some inborn things, no matter how hard you try to make up for the day after tomorrow, you can't change them." He lay down feeling disappointed and said, "It's like, I am a woman and I like women How can there be such a weird person in the world? Wearing a man's clothes and getting married, isn't it still fake."

"Brother, are you having trouble with Madam?" Hong Xiao knew that Tong Jiu was so angry and suddenly ran out of the house and said that she wanted to leave. How could she get rid of Ji Lan?

"Don't blame her, she has other plans." Tong Jiu sighed, "I guess it won't be long before we get back together."

"Ever since you got married, I haven't asked you what you think. Do you like Miss Fucha?" Hong Xiao blew on the lamp and lay down.Tong Jiu didn't speak.

"Then what's her plan? Find a master Tanhua?" Hong Xiao guessed.Tong Jiu briefly said what Ji Lan had said to herself.

After hearing this, Hongxiao sneered, and said, "On weekdays, Miss Fucha looks a bit like a city. Now, it seems that she is just a weak girl blindfolded by a man. You let her do it for that censor Just fill in the house, just like her, she will be divorced before returning home."

"How do you say that?" Tong Jiu was puzzled.

"Yes, her talent and beauty are of course good. But just because of her arrogant temper, she would always pull your ears or pinch your face every day. Which man would she try?" Hong Xiao shook her head and counted. falling.

He emphasized, "It's not important. The most important thing is, do you still want the Yangzhengtang business after she went to fill in the house? In your opinion, she will throw away the Yangzhengtang business and let others pass on the family with peace of mind? If that's the case, she You won’t bother to set up a trap for you to exploit, and what will happen in the end is that the exchange rate will rise.”

"Wait, I don't understand." Tong Jiu scratched his head and said, "What does filling the house have to do with throwing away Yangzhengtang?"

Hongxiao said helplessly, "Let's say that Miss Fucha is the same as you. She has never been married, so how can she know what's going on here? Officials, especially Han Chinese, care most about the three obediences and four virtues. At that time, she will have to leave the door and leave the house. If you don’t step forward, you still think about the cooking business like this, all over the world?”

"Maybe she will be willing when the time comes." Tong Jiu curled her lips and said in amazement, "You have never been married, so how do you know that!"

"Although I grew up with you, I'm a servant. I've heard too much about these dirty things. Poor young ladies who are fooled by those dramas, the whole world is like that in the dramas." There's no need for a devoted lover to sing every day." Hong Xiao yawned sleepily.

After she said that, Tong Jiu felt much more at ease, and agreed again and again.

"If you don't like her, just let her torment you. It's only a matter of business relationship. We don't have any loss if what happens to her. This kind of love thing, the more you stop it, the more exciting it is." Hong Xiao continued to support her. Be open minded.

"If you want to have that kind of meaning for her, when she returns to Beijing, you will stir up trouble. After all, you are her husband now. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." Hongxiao smiled unfathomably, "When the time comes you Look again, why does the censor still trust her and let her fill in the house?"

Tong Jiu shook her head again and again and said, "That's not good. If I really ruined her good deeds like that, she can't even disclose my identity to the public, let alone hate me for the rest of her life. If that's the case, according to her nature, there may be a relationship between the two of us." It's no longer possible."

Hong Xiao smiled, and finally figured out Tong Jiu's true thoughts, but worries arose immediately.

Having played against Ji Lan several times, she knows Ji Lan's tricks well. If Ji Lan wants to let go, Tong Jiu can't stop her.

"Brother, she's actually not that good. From my point of view, she's not as good as that Wu family, who knows how to make wine and understand the general situation." Hong Xiao changed the subject and said, "At first glance, she is a good housekeeper, unlike that Fucha Miss, you know how to order people around."

"Mr. Wu?" Tong Jiu didn't know why, so what's the matter with Mr. Wu.

"Yeah, don't you say she is a wonderful person." Hong Xiao moved closer to Tong Jiu, and said, "If you want me to say, don't always be so horny. When the fate comes, that person will come naturally. If she really wants to fill in someone else's house, let her do it. See if you like Mrs. Wu, and if you do, I'll talk it out for you after you make up. "

"I can only find widows?" Tong Jiu frowned and muttered unhappily.

"Of course not. Yi Ge'er's current wealth, why can't Miss Qianjin be worthy? It's just that you have to think about the food, like Wu's, it's easier to respond." Hong Xiao told the truth.

Tong Jiu waved his hand and said, "She just died of a man, so don't talk nonsense. I helped her open the wine shop, and she will be able to support herself in the future. After the funeral, if she wants, I can find her a good family." After speaking, he turned around and stopped talking.

"Brother, I heard from them that they are leaving for Beijing tomorrow, should we still follow?" Hong Xiao asked.

Yes, thinking that Ji Lan was leaving, Tong Jiu caressed the jade plaque on his chest, and said with a sense of loss, "What are we going to do next, send a wife for a thousand miles to fill in the house? No, the wine shop has not been done yet." Sure. Later, let's go straight back to Jiangnan."

"Well, the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the scenery is familiar to us. At sunrise, the red flowers of the river are better than the fire, and the river is as green as blue in spring. Can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River." Hongxiao continued, and said softly, "Brother, go to sleep."

"Headache—." Tong Jiu sighed and said wearily. "Come on, just rub it." Hong Xiao reached out to Tong Jiu's forehead and rubbed it for her.

"Sister Hong, although she wants to leave, I also wish her well." Tong Jiu mumbled with her eyes closed.
