Tong Jia anecdote

<eighty>

Han Luming sent Tong Jiu straight to the corner door of the garden and stopped, took out a long brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Tong Jiu, saying, "I am far behind you in terms of financial resources, but when I first came to the door as an elder brother Empty hands, but it doesn't look like it. This is something I got by chance today, and it's just a gift."

Tong Jiu was not polite to him either, so he took the brocade box away, and the two said goodbye and went back separately.Seeing that the gates leading to the courtyard of the main house were open along the way, Fucha Tuya must have come over from the house.

Just when Han Luming wanted to recommend him to visit Prince Yi, Fucha Tuya came.Tong Jiu stopped to think, and pulled out the brocade box that Han Luming gave her from the sleeve.

After opening it, I saw that what lay inside was the pearl Buddha beads that the antique shop could only dream of.Recalling that when Ji Lan was about to leave the house, he said with a half-smile that "everything in life must be there." I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.Could this woman be able to pinch and count!

Put away the brocade box, took two steps, and felt wrong again.Han Luming was doing well as an official in Shandong, why did he suddenly fill in the vacancy of Zuo Du Yu Shi?She also repeatedly said that it was thanks to her management years ago, but she knew in her heart that she didn't even know that there was such a thing.

Zuo Du Yu Shina was originally Chen Jingyi's official position. After Chen Jingyi handled the Bomuer case and returned to Beijing, he was sent to the household department as an errand, and this official position became vacant.Being able to get Han Luming on top in such a timely manner, it must be that Ji Lan has been working secretly.

Tong Jiu was thinking like this, walking and stopping, sighing incessantly in his mouth and heart, isn't this woman about to become a sperm?Before he knew it, he had already reached the door of the main room.

"Jiuye is back." Tong Jiu entered the main room following the announcement from the maid who raised the curtain on the door.Just when she was about to take off her cloak, Hong Xiao heard the sound coming out from inside, and untied the belt of the cloak for her one after another.

"Sister Hong, why don't you go?" Tong Jiu just wanted to go to the wing room to see her first, but with those things in mind, he walked to the main room naturally.The servant girl had already passed the news, so she had no choice but to come in.Seeing Hong Xiao coming out to greet him, he asked quickly with joy in his heart.

"Who is the same as you." Hong Xiao untied Tong Jiu's cloak, and said, "The aunt of the Fucha family is here. When she came here a few years ago, I lost a lot to Sister Gui. This time I can get a lot of money." return."

The sister Gui she was talking about was Fucha Tuya's dowry maid, Fucha Gui. Every time she came with Fucha Tuya, the masters would sit in the inner room, and their favored maids would gather in the outer room. Go to one place to talk, roll dice to block some small money to pass the time.

Hearing what she said, Tong Jiu seemed not to be angry with herself anymore.Smiling, he untied his purse from his waist and gave it to Hong Xiao, pretending to be annoyed, "It's okay to let them win, just play with it! Tell them, just say what I said, I won't win this time, sister Hong." , no one is allowed to leave."

"Okay, don't worry about our maid's play." Hong Xiao took Tong Jiu's warm hat and put it away, and urged, "Madam is waiting inside, you go in quickly."

"Big sister is here!" After Tong Jiu entered, she cupped her hands towards Fucha Tuya who was sitting on the kang, and smiled at Ji Lan beside her.

"It's cold now, isn't it?" It's been a long time since the maid brought tea in, Ji Lan poured hot tea for her himself.But outside, the laughter of a group of maids can be heard, wondering who won the money.

"Listen, it's becoming more and more disrespectful." Fucha Tuya stared at the outer room, complaining to his sister, "You are the one who manipulated them."

"They seldom have such fun, and it's rare to play for a while, so don't be so cocky again." Ji Lan pushed the snacks on the kang table in front of her sister, and hit her hand with a small hammer for smashing medicinal materials. Hazelnut, while chatting, "Today, I saw beads in Liulichang."

"It won't be cheap to catch your second aunt's eye." Fucha Tuya stretched out his hand, "Let me see, what a rare item."

"I didn't buy it. The shopkeeper said it was a family heirloom and wouldn't sell it." Ji Lan shook his head.

Fucha Tuya took the peeled hazelnuts from Jilan, blew on the skins and said, "Don't listen to what they say, those people in Liulichang are good at it, there is no story about anything, it is not handed down from the ancestors, how is it in the family I'm not even willing to sell it, otherwise how can I sell it at a good price."

Ji Lan shook his head, and said, "This one is different, it's not from the south bead, it's from the east bead."

"Then it's no wonder. You have been fascinated by Dongzhu since you were a child, and you still like it so much now?" Fucha Tuya became more and more curious after hearing this, "You say so, I would like to go and see, which shop is it, and what is its name?" ah?"

Ji Lan shook his head and said, "But I don't remember."

"Han Luqi, it's rare for my sister to have something she likes so much, so why don't you find a way to get it in exchange for it." Now that she's getting acquainted, Fucha Tuya joked to Tong Jiu who was sitting there flipping through the books.

Tong Jiu is sitting on the Eight Immortals chair at the moment, holding tea in one hand, flipping through the books on the coffee table with the other, taking a few sips occasionally, feeling very comfortable.Hearing what Fucha Tuya asked himself, he shook his head and said without raising his head, "Madam said that a gentleman does not take away people's love."

He looked at the cover of the book again, and asked Ji Landao, ""Pingshan Lengyan", where did you get this book? It's very interesting after reading it a few times."

"The books I brought here are just to pass the time." Fucha Tuya said, "The most indispensable thing in our royal residence is the books of these talented scholars and beautiful ladies. This is what is going on right now, so I brought it here to relieve Ji Lan's boredom. "

"Although you are playing with pen and ink, why should you waste it? Because of the essays, comment on some words, chat to express your happiness, and the master of Bingyu plays the topic." Tong Jiu looked at the annotations on the book and asked, "This Bingyu Who is the master? How dare he openly challenge the court for many years."

"It's Prince Yi's number." Ji Lan said, "It's because it's been a long time. There are many books that can only be found in the Leshan Hall of the Prince's Mansion."

Fucha Tuya sat until he had dinner, and then he took his maidservant and mother-in-law back home.

"It's cold outside, you should stay." Ji Lan was about to send her sister out, but Fucha Tuya stopped her and said, "Let Han Luqi send me out."

The two walked outside one after the other, and Fucha Tuya asked, "I heard that the elder brother of your family has arrived in the capital?"

"Yes." Tong Jiu replied respectfully.

"Well, Ji Lan told me." Fucha Tuya nodded, and said, "In a while, it will be Fujin's birthday in the house. I will send someone to send a post later. When the time comes, let him go That's it."

"Okay." Tong Jiu still responded respectfully.

When Fucha Tuya saw that she was alone outside Jilan, she really looked humble and courteous, so she said with a hint of vigilance, "Han Luqi, Jilan is my own sister, as long as you live well Treat her. For the rest, you can say anything. You let me know that you have suffered a little bit of grievance for her. "

Fucha Tuya hooked the corners of his mouth, and didn't continue talking.

"Don't you dare?" Tong Jiu also smiled, she doesn't care how others treat her, as long as it is good for Ji Lan, she will be happy, although she said "I don't want it." But in her heart she thought That's right, is your sister the one who will let you be wronged?

"Come on, don't tell me if you have any of these things." Fucha Tuya got on the sedan chair and said, "Save these good-sounding things to coax my silly sister, auntie, I'm going home now."

Watching Fucha Tuya's sedan chair go away, Tong Jiu hurriedly walked back to the main room.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her suddenly lift the curtain and come in, Hong Xiao looked behind her, "Going in such a hurry."

"Did you win?" Tong Jiuxing hurriedly took off his cloak and asked after entering the door.

"Thanks to you, Master Jiu, I won less." Hong Xiao took the cloak she threw over, and said, "Sister Qin and the others deliberately let me go to make me happy."

"Oh, it's Miss Hong's luck today, it's like a god's help." Fu Chaqin, who was watching the little maids packing up the teacups in the outer room, smiled and said to Tong Jiu, "What should I say? .”

"That's the reason." Tong Jiu responded, took the brocade box into the inner room, saw Ji Lan still sitting there, kicked his boots onto the kang, sat next to Ji Lan, and said, "I I have something to show you, so close your eyes first."

Seeing her enigmatic look, Ji Lan obediently closed her eyes.

Tong Jiu tiptoedly opened the brocade box, took out the string of beads and gently put it on Ji Lan's neck.

"Can you open it?" Ji Lan only felt a chill on his neck, raised his head and asked with a smile.

At this moment, Ji Lan was wearing a moonlight thin jacket with narrow sleeves and waist, which set off her curves exquisitely. She looked at her with her head held high and her smile full of cuteness.Tong Jiu cautiously leaned forward, and pecked lightly on that beautiful lips.

Ji Lan shrank her head in surprise, opened her eyes and saw that the person stealing the fragrance was smirking at her, and raised her hand to beat her.He looked down and saw the pearl chain on his chest, and stroked it in surprise.

"Han Luming gave it to me. You have put so much effort into his affairs. We don't want this thing for nothing." Seeing that Ji Lan likes it, Tong Jiu narrowed her eyes happily, and said sincerely, "It's so beautiful. "

"Master Jiu is talking about people, or beads?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows, looked at Tong Jiu affectionately, and asked softly.

"Naturally it's human." Tong Jiu stepped forward to hug Jilan into his arms, and said in a somewhat confused breath, "Aji, shall we go to bed?"

"It's still early—" Ji Lan hadn't finished speaking.

Tong Jiu turned around and blew out the high candles on the Kang table, and shouted outside, "You all step back, we are going to sleep."

"What are you doing?" Ji Lan whispered, her face flushed immediately.Half pushing and half pushing against Tong Jiu who was eagerly approaching, didn't she just tell the people outside that the two of them should have a good time.

"Pearl cast in secret." Tong Jiu finished speaking and kissed Ji Lan, took off the beads from Ji Lan's neck while panting, threw them aside, and unbuttoned Ji Lan's lapel with his hands.

The two of them turned off the lights in the inner room like this, and the maidservants outside heard Tong Jiu's voice and looked at each other, not knowing why.

On the other hand, Fu Chaqin blushed, pretending to be prudent, and urged the maids outside, "Masters rest, let's go to the wing room and leave later without orders."

"But the master hasn't taken off her makeup yet." Fuchami poked her head inward stubbornly. She never obeyed Tong Jiu's orders, so Fuchaqin grabbed her and dragged her out, saying, "Let's go, let's go." .”

"Ah, who made this pile?" The maids left the main room and went back to the east and west rooms in different levels.Fuchami saw a big snowman piled up at Hongxiao's door at some point, standing there with a round head, looking around in surprise at the sky where it wasn't snowing, and said, "Where did the snow come from?"

Hong Xiao, who came out later, saw the snowman's foolish look, and reached out to stroke the snowman's head.

While several people were talking, Hua Jingfu pushed the door through the corner door and entered the courtyard when they heard the "creaking" door. In the past, according to the routine of Tong Jiu and Ji Lan, they would not come out so early.Seeing several people turning their heads to look at him in unison, Hua Jingfu lowered his head a little unaccustomed.

"Where did you find the snow?" Hongxiao saw that she was wearing only a thin jacket in such a cold weather, stepped forward to hold her hand, and saw that her cold hand was holding a carrot that she found somewhere, making her angry. De Hongxiao was a little dumbfounded, but felt her eyes warm for a while.

This person, I just told her some interesting stories at home when I was a child, saying that whenever it snows heavily in winter, I like to build a snowman in front of my house the most, but I didn't expect that she actually built such a one.

"It's so cold, let's go back." Fu Chaqin let out a sigh of relief, and dragged his younger sister, who was focusing on drawing eyebrows and eyes on the snowman's face, to her room.

"Hey, why are you dragging me? The drawing is crooked." Fuchami complained and went back to the house with her sister.
