Tong Jia anecdote

<eight seven>

After Han Luming left, Ji Lan turned around and went back to the Nuan Pavilion, ignoring Tong Jiu.Seeing her like this, Tong Jiu must be angry, and it would be boring to explain anything by herself.

It was getting dark outside, and the maids came in to light the lamps.Tong Jiu felt depressed and a little out of breath, so she simply went out to relax.

It scattered to the lake behind, the ice sculpture from that day was still there, Tong Jiu walked over and sat on the ice again.Thinking of the mess in Baoding, thinking of Ji Lan's always gloomy face, she lay down on the ice with her arms outstretched sadly.Looking at the night sky in front of him, he sighed and closed his eyes tiredly.

During the past few days in Baoding, I have not been able to sleep well.As soon as Shen Jianping arrived, she gave a few instructions and hurried back. It was already noon when she got home, and she simply washed up. When she heard that Ji Lan was in the study, she came over.

But seeing that she was still calm and busy dispensing medicine, she sat outside and waited.As a result, being so disturbed by Han Luming, it became what it is now.

When it was time for dinner, Tong Jiu was nowhere to be found in the whole house, and when asked by the concierge, he said he hadn't seen her go out.A young man said that he would go to the back garden after watching it.

So, Hongxiao picked up the lamp and searched behind.Sure enough, on the surface of the lake, looking at the person curled up, he hurried over, and took a light to see that it was Tong Jiu.

"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu!" Hong Xiao touched Tong Jiu's face, exclaimed and shook her awake, "Why are you sleeping here? Brother Jiu, wake up quickly."

"Sister Hong——." Tong Jiu was awakened by the shaking, looked at Hong Xiao in a daze, sniffed and said, "Why is it so cold?" She shrank her head into the cloak as she spoke, not intending to get up.

"Little ancestor, don't you look at where this is. It's not cold." Seeing that she was still sleeping, Hong Xiao coaxed her, "Brother Jiu, get up, if you want to sleep, let's go back to sleep."

Tong Jiu got up, he was already frozen to the bone, his whole body was icy cold, he followed Hong Xiao back, muttering, "Sister Hong, you said that I am sincerely good to others, why do others not accept me? Good intentions? Those people in Baoding Mansion, I give them so much money every year, and they cheat my business instead!"

"Yes, yes, they are wrong." Hong Xiao coaxed her to walk back.

Tong Jiu said more and more aggrieved, "In such a cold day, I chiseled that ice sculpture for four days. If she doesn't like it, it's fine, and show me face. Tell me, what is the reason for this?"

"Okay, are you hungry too?" Hong Xiao touched Tong Jiu's forehead and said, "It's time for dinner."

"I don't want to eat. I'm tired and want to sleep." Tong Jiu said as she walked towards the study, "Eat, I'll go to sleep in the warm pavilion of the study."

Hong Xiao waited for her to fall asleep before going back to the main room to answer.

Seeing her coming back alone, Ji Lan said, "Have you found it, where is she?"

"I got cold, and I felt my head was a little hot, so I fell asleep in the study." Hong Xiao said, "She has been on the ice for the past few days, and she must have been tainted by the cold air. I walked back and forth in Baoding Mansion like this again." , there is a false fire in my heart, how can I stand it on my body."

"Go and make some cold soup, I'll go over and have a look later." Ji Lan instructed Fu Chaqin, and then said to Hongxiao, "If you have anything, just tell me."

"I think Madam is indifferent to Brother Jiu, so there is a reason for Madam. We are both servants and outsiders, so we shouldn't talk too much. But Brother Jiu is not a meticulous person. You might as well have something to say to her directly. Let me tell you, she will correct her mistakes." Hong Xiao looked at Ji Lan thoughtfully.

Then he said, "No matter how angry Madam is, she still wants to have a long-term relationship with Brother Jiu in her heart. As long as she knows she's wrong and corrects it, won't it be okay? The two of them live together, and they have to distinguish between the right and the wrong. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a grudge in my heart." After speaking, he turned and went out.

After Hongxiao went out, Ji Lan looked at the cold food on the table, put down the chopsticks in her hand, feeling a little upset.

In fact, ever since Tong Jiu went to Baoding Mansion in a fit of anger, Ji Lan felt a little angry with himself.It happened that those ice craftsmen came to pay their wages, and they chatted occasionally, only to realize that the ice sculpture flower was originally intended to cut open the ice layer of the lake, and put the flower into the unfrozen lake water.

Wait until the lake freezes to seal the flowers, then take out the whole block of ice, and chip off the outer ice block little by little.Although it is not a technical job, it takes a lot of thought and patience.

Later, Ji Lan went to the ice to look at the ice sculpture.Yes, although she used to do this for Mu Yun, but now she also does it for herself.Moreover, it is impossible for her to do this for Mu Yun again in the future.

"Master, the medicinal food for Lord Jiu is ready, should I send it over now, or warm it up and send it later?" Fu Chaqin asked slightly when he saw Ji Lan staring at the table full of food when he came in. .

"Let's send it over now." Ji Lan regained his composure and got up, and took Fu Chaqin to the study.

Tong Jiu has been restless since she fell asleep, and has been having miscellaneous nightmares. For a while, she dreams of Ji Lan ignoring herself and going back to the Yangzhengtang, and for a while, she dreams of Da Zhengchang pointing at the moldy rice and old oil and pointing at herself. point.

"Old Nine, Old Nine—." Ji Lan came to the couch and saw Tong Jiu frowning and struggling while sleeping soundly, touching his forehead which was a little hot.While asking Fu Chaqin to put down her medicinal diet to fetch hot water, she pulled Tong Jiu's wrist and felt her pulse, waking her up to eat.

"Aji." Tong Jiu opened his eyes and saw Ji Lan in front of him, and asked, "Are you back?"

"You're so burnt out, get up and eat something, I'll ask Sister Qin to get some antipyretic medicine." Ji Lan gave her the medicinal food on the bedside.

"Are you not angry with me anymore?" Tong Jiu sat up slowly and asked in a daze.

"You eat all of these, and I won't be angry with you." Tong Jiu, who is usually lively, suddenly became haggard like this, looking at herself pitifully, Ji Lan felt sore pain in her heart, softly soundtrack.

Seeing Tong Jiu eat and drink the medicine, Ji Lan twisted the towel in the basin, urged her to get up, and said, "Come on, wipe yourself off."

"Cold." Tong Jiu huddled under the quilt, unwilling to move.

Ji Lan sighed, put down the bed curtain, gently reached into the quilt to untie her clothes, touched the cloth strips that were still tied around her chest, and said, "Why are you still tied up after you rest?"

"Forget to understand." Tong Jiu narrowed her eyes, let Ji Lan untie the restraints on her chest, and breathed out comfortably.

Afraid that she would be cold, Ji Lan slightly lifted the quilt, stretched a warm towel in, and wiped her upper body.Wiping it, seeing that there was something on Tong Jiu's chest, he rubbed it a little harder.

"Hiss." Tong Jiu covered Ji Lan's hand with his left hand, frowned and said, "It hurts."

"It hurts?" Ji Lan heard her cry of pain, moved the lamp by the bed and took a closer look.Seeing a bruise on Tong Jiu's chest, he asked, "You went to Baoding Mansion, who pinched the bruise on your chest?"

Tong Jiu had a severe headache, she just shook her head, stretched out her hand to caress Ji Lan's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm so cold, why don't you wipe it off?"

Ji Lan saw that there were several bruises on the back of her outstretched hand, so she quickly grabbed the lamp to take a closer look, raised a few voices, and asked, "How did you get the injury on this hand? This trip to Baoding Mansion, They bullied you!"

Ordinarily not, Jing Fu followed her, so he asked again, "Is there anything else hurt?"

"I don't know, it's probably smashed by chiseling ice." Tong Jiu withdrew his hand and replied vaguely.Turning around and shrunk under the quilt, not wanting to talk anymore, she closed her eyes and shivered into a ball.

Ji Lan was startled when he heard this, put down the lamp in his hand, and took out the basin and towel.

In a daze, Tong Jiu felt a heat on her back, and her whole body was covered with fragrance and warmth. Ji Lan took her into his arms from behind and asked, "Is this warmer?"

"Yeah." Tong Jiu turned around, buried her hot face on Ji Lan's shoulder, and hugged her tightly in front of Ji Lan.

Ji Lan kissed her forehead softly and softly, asking "Why are you so stupid, huh?"

Xu was feeling warm, Tong Jiu no longer trembled, just laying in Ji Lan's arms with peace of mind, snorting evenly, drowsy.

"Does it still hurt there? I'll rub it for you." Ji Lan, who was hugging Tong Jiu, pulled back the arm that was pillowed by Tong Jiu distractedly, stroked the bruise on her chest, and rubbed it lightly. with.

"Hmm." Tong Jiu didn't know if it hurt because the wound was rubbed, or what, so she hummed lightly.

After hearing this, Ji Lan's hand became slightly heavier, and the range of natural caressing also deviated from the bruise earlier.She could feel that her breath was hotter than that of the feverish person.

So, sticking to Tong Jiu, holding her lips that were a little dry due to the fever, exhaling heavily, said, "Old Nine, I... miss you."

"Aji, my whole body hurts." Tong Jiu only felt that his whole body was sore as if he was about to fall apart, and being pressed down by Ji Lan, he pouted a little aggrieved, and Ren Jilan kissed and muttered.

"I know." Ji Lan stroked her body and asked, "Where does it hurt? Is this? Or this? I'll rub it for you."

"Aji, I'm sleepy." Tong Jiu said weakly, frowning with an awkward face.

But in Ji Lan's eyes, it was a completely different kind of style from her past, which made her feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't stop.

Tong Jiu loves riding and shooting since she was a child, and occasionally dances with a gun and a club. Although she is not as proficient in skills as Jing Fu, it also endows her with a vigorous posture that is completely different from those young ladies.

Ji Lan clearly remembered that he was also in the study and also on this bed.

When she and Tong Jiu undressed for the first time, when they met frankly, she caressed Tong Jiu's light and agile curves, and wherever her fingertips touched Tong Jiu's unfamiliar skin, they made each other excited and trembling.

Recalling the feeling of strangeness and longing for curiosity in his heart at that time, Ji Lan raised the corner of his mouth, kissed Tong Jiu's earlobe affectionately, and said with a breath, "Lao Jiu, you have caught a cold, you need to sweat a little."

Tong Jiu woke up from Ji Lan's arms the next day. Although her head didn't hurt much, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak.

"Are you awake?" Ji Lan wrapped her arms around her waist with concern, rubbed Tong Jiu's lower abdomen lightly, and said, "Does it still hurt?"

"I had a fever yesterday." Tong Jiu shook his head, moved his body slightly and leaned into Ji Lan's arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "Aji, I paid more than 20 yuan in Baoding Mansion."

"Well, as long as the reputation is there, our family is not afraid of losing money." Ji Lan stroked the black hair on her head, comfortingly said, "We have plenty of money."

"Aji, it was Yongxi who humiliated me and our businessman first." Tong Jiu said in a hoarse voice.

"Well, I know, you don't dare to cause trouble." Ji Lan nodded and said, "He deserves it."
