Tong Jia anecdote

<five eight>

After taking a nap at noon, the two got up.According to Tong Jiu's instructions in the morning, the housekeeper hired a group of strong laborers to start construction on the row of houses in front of the stables at the back to build an indoor racetrack for Su Le.Tong Jiu listened to his back and forth, and followed him to the garden behind.

"Ma'am, Lord Lin Wu is here, waiting at the gatehouse." Fu Chaqin came in and whispered to Ji Lan who was playing chess with Shu Guangshou.

"Hurry up." Ji Lan threw a few chess pieces back into the chess box, stood up with a smile, and said apologetically to Shu Guangxiu, "We have not yet won the game, and someone came to disrupt the game. It’s rare to have half a day off.”

"The third girl just came back, so you can let her go and have a rest." Seeing that Ji Lan was about to go out with Shu Guangxiu, Fu Chaqin persuaded, "Master Lin Wu doesn't understand. If he comes this time, if he says it again What nonsense, I must not be angry and hurt my mind like last time. How about I go to the back and invite Lord Jiu over?"

"It's nothing, what did you call her back for?" Ji Lan embraced the hand stove she handed over, and went outside to the main hall.

"Second Sister, let's make things clear for now." Seeing Ji Lan coming in, Lin Wu sat there without saying a word.Unable to hold back, he opened his mouth first and said, "I, Fucha Lin, am also a descendant of the Fucha family. It is only right and right for me to receive the bonus of Yangzhengtang! I am here today, not for the little bonus."

"Fifth, this is the Han family. You can't tell me what you said right now." Ji Lan said slowly, stroking the wrench on his thumb without raising his head.

Lin Wu looked up at the rich hall, nodded coldly and said, "Don't say, this Han Laojiu, I really underestimated him."

Looking around inside and out, he said, "Did you manage to live in such a bright house while you were talking? Well, just for his ability, even if I made a mistake in the previous call, you call him out , I will apologize to him in front of you."

As he spoke, he took out a cricket pot from the sandalwood box he brought, and put it squarely on the small table beside Ji Lan.Standing aside with clasped hands, he said, "I only got it from the palace before, and I don't want to let it go, so I leave it to him. How about it? It's not a shame to make an apology."

"We don't care about it." Ji Lan said indifferently without looking up or looking.

"My second aunt, you can't kill without nodding your head." Lin Wu cupped his hands, bowed with a smile, pointed outside, and said, "If you ask around in four or nine cities, who am I, Fucha Linke, to pay for?" Excuse me? This is what my third sister said, Yangzhengtang is up to you. Eldest sister went to find our old man at noon, give me a good word."

Ji Lan saw that he was calling, and that what he said was still his duty, so he nodded to Fuchami who was behind him, and Fuchami leaned over lightly and went out.

Soon, Fuchami led Tong Jiu in.Tong Jiu originally had the arrow sleeves on both arms high, but she must have done some work and put them down, and when she saw Lin Wu in the hall, she rolled up her sleeves again, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law—." Lin Wu got up and cupped his hands towards Tong Jiu, and said, "It was a misunderstanding between the two of us before, and it was me who didn't listen to what I said. But in the final analysis, I was also for the Fucha family and for Su Le, right? , I have no bad intentions."

Hearing him calling "brother-in-law" these two times in succession, Tong Jiu's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, and he sat down on the grand teacher's chair next to Ji Lan, and talked to those Liba about the racecourse for a long time, and said in his mouth I was also thirsty, so I took a few sips from Jilan's cups.

"Yo, what an elegant object." When Tong Jiu put the cup down, he saw the cricket pot on the table, and his eyes lit up.Looking at the vivid and delicate plum blossoms on the lid, he leaned over his head approvingly to look at the daylilies and yams engraved on the jar wall, as if they were swaying in the wind, and said, "Look at this appearance, is it from Shao Wentang?"

"Hey, expert." Lin Wu clapped his hands, stepped forward to hold the cricket pot, pointed to the inscription below, and said excitedly, "Did you see, the fake Shaowentang. It was put down by Lord Kangxi, The former one was obtained from the palace."

Talking and tugging on Tong Jiu, he showed off, "Look at this style, how about matching it with my golden armored general? Just walk down the street like this, hey! Long face, don't mention how proud it is."

"What general is the golden armor? It's from Ningjin." Seeing Linwu nodded, Tong Jiu shook his head, waved his hands and said, "I tell you, compared with the crickets on the Mongolian grassland, the ones in Ningjin are all grandsons of Chan." .”

"It's nonsense, the best crickets in the Qing Dynasty all come from Ningjin, and I spent a lot of money to select them myself." Lin Wu straightened his neck in dissatisfaction, and said, "Just say it and don't practice it. Shi, you take out your shitty Mongolian cricket, and let's have a fight and talk about it."

"Ahem." Ji Lan cleared her throat, looked at the two playboys who were having a good time talking in front of her, pointed to Tong Jiu and said to Lin Wu, "She, if she dares to be so irrelevant like you, look at her." I won't pull her ears off."

"Hey hey." Lin Wu looked at Tong Jiu who was covering his ears and was touching, and said with a smile, "Second sister, don't talk about it, the more I look at my husband-in-law, the more I look like a member of our Fucha family."

He patted Tong Jiu on the shoulder and said, "We two brothers don't know each other. That's right, let's clear up all the misunderstandings we had before. Today, I'll invite my second sister and brother-in-law to our house for dinner. Shabu-shabu, how about it?"

Seeing that Ji Lan didn't talk to him, Tong Jiu couldn't make a statement, so she declined, "Ji Lan doesn't like those meaty foods."

"Second sister, I know, you still have knots in your heart because of the bastard things I did in the early years." Lin Wu sighed and said, "Since the old man passed away and we separated, you haven't brought it once in these years. The job of our family. To be honest, I have a daughter now, but I was only thirteen that year."

Lin Wu put down the cricket pot in his hand in some embarrassment, and said, "At that time, I didn't know what to think. I thought that as long as my third sister enters the palace, our room will overwhelm your second room. Hey, who told me Well. But we are getting older day by day, and I feel more and more unbearable after thinking about it. Since I hugged Su Le to you, I feel more or less comfortable in my heart. "

"Since you are so kind, let's go." Ji Lan said.

"Hey, that works." Lin Wumian was very moved, and said, "I'll go back and prepare first, and you will go there later." He looked at the cricket pot on the table reluctantly, picked up the warm hat, " I'm leaving."

"Take back your precious treasure, and don't spoil our Lu Qi." Ji Lan waved his hand.

Lin Wu still wanted to defend himself, Tong Jiu held up the cricket jar and handed it to him, saying, "Okay, there's nothing to be polite about, I'll take you out."

After leaving the main house, seeing the laborers coming and going in the yard carrying wood, Lin Wu was puzzled and said, "It's the end of the year, and there is still a lot of construction going on in the house? This is not auspicious."

"It's not that particular." Tong Jiu smiled indifferently, walked out with him, and said, "Su Le wants to learn how to ride a horse, and the solar terms outside are not good right now. I just want to find a few people and put the row of houses in front of the stable The wall knocked open. At least, enough to run back and forth."

"Oh." Lin Wu said with some hesitation on his face, "Yes, yes, Su Le is not old enough to learn how to ride a horse. I used to ride a lot when I was [-] or [-], but it was abandoned later." After speaking, he looked at the gate , said with emotion, "This child, following you will be more promising than living in my house."

Tong Jiu sent him to the door, pointed to the plaque on the door of his house, and said, "Fifth Master, I also tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Yangzhengtang belongs to Fucha's family, and Jilan's surname is 'Fucha'. Su Le's surname is 'Fucha', and I don't have a surname."

"Okay, see you later." Lin Wu clasped his hands in understanding, and said, "In the evening, bring my second sister and eldest nephew to come home early, and we brothers will have a good drink."

Seeing Lin Wu get into the carriage and leave, Tong Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

"Han Dong's family, Han Dong's family, Han Dong's family." Just as he was about to go back, he heard someone calling himself in Mongolian outside the house.Tong Jiu heard the sound and looked for it. A tall man over eight feet tall came from the corner of the street.She was wrapped in a Mongolian robe with wool exposed everywhere, her hair was disheveled and unkempt, and she didn't even wear a hat.

Tong Jiu took a closer look, he was swaying in the cold wind, and then looked at his body that should have been bright, with some Islamic patterns on it, and said, "Are you from the Ujumqin tribe?"

"That's right, I'm Dagula from the Ujumqin Tribe. My father has some money in your Huizhengsheng. However, I didn't find Huizhengsheng in the capital. I found Yangzhengtang. Their people said, your mansion Stay here." As he said, Dagula untied his robe, tore off the inner lining, and pulled out a money order from inside.

Trembling, handed it to Tong Jiu, and asked, "Here, can I exchange money here?"

"Of course it's possible. As long as you hold our Huizhengsheng exchange bill, you can exchange money at any place where we buy and sell." Tong Jiu shouted to the concierge, "Come and help this Xiangyu to the guest room." Go. Prepare hot water for food, and then invite a doctor to give Qieqie pulse."

After finishing speaking, he said to Dagula, who looked worried, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go to the bank to pick up the money for you. You should have something to eat with them first, warm yourself by the fire, and change into a warm robe."

Afterwards, Shen Jianping was found at the accounting office and asked him to bring a few clerks to the bank to wait for him first, while he went to Ji Lan to get the key to the bank.

"Why did you send someone away? It's been these days?" Ji Lan saw Tong Jiu hurried in, with an anxious expression on her face, she hurriedly put down Yang Zhengtang's ledger and brush, got up and asked, "What's the matter, why are you leaving like this?" urgent?"

Panting for breath, Tong Jiu said, "There is a Xiangyu from the Ujumqin tribe in Mongolia. It seems that he has encountered some difficulties. He came to us to exchange money, and I will get the key to the bank to carry the money for him."

"Really?" Ji Lan swiftly fetched the key to the bank and handed it to Tong Jiu, and Tong Jiu said that the person had already been assigned to the guest room.So he gave orders to Sister Fucha again, saying, "Go and bring some of the dry meat and cheese that Master Jiu and the others eat all day long, and let the dining room make a pot of milk tea. Pick a few better furs Yi, don't let people think we are stingy."

Looking at Ji Lan who rarely cared about these irrelevant people and trifles before, Tong Jiu squeezed the key in her hand, her heart warmed up, and after the two maids went out, she stepped forward and hugged Ji Lan In his arms, he took a sip on her face.

"But you're not in a hurry anymore?" Ji Lan never thought of her being so aggressive in broad daylight, and said angrily, "Get out soon!"

Tong Jiu chuckled and said warmly, "Although we've only been separated for a while, I miss you so much. I'll go back as soon as I go."
