Tong Jia anecdote

<ninety-three>

After Hong Xiaojing Fu left, Tong Jiu had no neighbors to accompany her.

Because of Yongxi's incident, although it was characterized as a natural disaster on the surface, secretly, Yiwang's Mansion and Fucha's family had already been at loggerheads. Yangzhengtang and Jilan lost their backers who had been in business for many years. On the cusp.

Therefore, Ji Lan was eager to find the next backer that she could rely on.Looking around, only Fu Chaheng, who handled the Yongxi case a few days ago, was the only one who was able to gain a relationship with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and whose power was no less than that of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Because of his elder sister Fucha's favor, Fucha Heng has been walking in front of the imperial court, serving around.And because of his military exploits in the pacification of Jinchuan and Jinchuan a few years ago, he was highly regarded by the Holy One.

Now, before he reached his thirties, he became the chief assistant of the military aircraft. It can be seen that the Holy Majesty's favor for him is so different that few people can match him.But this person is quite extravagant, and he also recognizes his relatives.When he thoroughly investigated the matter of Yongxi, Ji Lan spent a lot of time trying to save money, and the relationship between the two families quietly became closer.

These days, Ji Lan sometimes went out for half a day, and was busy going to Fuchaheng's house while the iron was hot, to get through the joints.Naturally, it is impossible to guard Tong Jiu at home all the time. In this way, Tong Jiu will have no one to talk to.

Ever since she fell ill, Ji Lan didn't allow her to settle accounts, saying it was a bother.She was also not allowed to go out to wander around, saying that the wind outside had caught cold in the past few days, and she was only allowed to rest at home so that she could feel at ease.

Every day, Fuchami went out with Jilan, while Fuchaqin and Yunman stayed at the mansion to watch her.

But Tong Jiu was originally an active and wandering character, and now he is confined at home all day long, and the farthest he can go is from the main room to the firewood room, teasing and teasing the pigeons.But everywhere Fu Chaqin followed him every step of the way, it was so boring.

"Master Jiu, I've taken the medicine." With a bitter smell in his nostrils, Fu Chaqin came in with the medicine, and respectfully placed the medicine on the small table on the kang.

Tong Jiu put down the idle book in his hand, pulled out his pocket watch and took a look. Fu Chaqin was always serious about his work, and the medicine would be delivered on time two minutes after the meal.

After taking the medicine bowl, Tong Jiu wept bitterly, endured the nausea, 1 reluctantly put it to his mouth, but before the bowl was close to his mouth, he smelled the bitterness and couldn't help but dry it. Throwing up, coughing.

The medicine in the bowl in her hand overflowed as she coughed, spilling the robe and the bed.Fu Chaqin was very patient, and brought out a clean robe for her to change, and called other maids to change the kang mat.

"Hey, Sister Qin." Seeing that she ordered someone to boil the medicine again, Tong Jiu hurriedly stopped, and said after discussing, "It's better to spill it all, so let's skip this meal."

"Then how can it be done?" Fu Chaqin replied with a pleasant face, "Madam will come back to ask questions."

"But when will I drink this medicine? I'm all right, you see." Tong Jiu raised his left arm, which was still a little inflexible, and muttered, "As long as you go out and move around more, you will naturally feel better. .”

"Jiuye, why don't you drink this first, and when Madam comes back later, you can ask her personally?" Fu Chaqin still stood with her head bowed while smiling, her mouth was unhurried, but she refused to accommodate at all.

Seeing that she never left Ji Lan, Tong Jiu felt bored, frowned and sat on the re-paved kang, said with a serious face, "These days, she has been absent all day, what is she doing outside? "

"Everything outside is done by Xiaomi with the master. If you ask me, I don't know for a while." Fu Chaqin replied.

Tong Jiu rubbed his forehead, picked up the idle book on the table and flipped through a few pages, feeling dull.

Seeing that Fu Chaqin was still standing there, he put down the book in his hand, returned and took Buhuo's pillow down, and said, "It's not interesting to be left or right. I'll sleep for a while, and it will pass faster. You can go to work."

After Tong Jiu fell asleep, Fu Chaqin was looking at the medicine that had been warmed over and over again and was worried. Hearing the movement on the courtyard door, it was Ji Lan who had returned, and hurriedly got up to make hot tea.

Watching his sister come in talking and laughing, she waved her hand for Ji Lan to widen the thin cloak on her body, and said, "Keep your voice down, Master Jiu is falling asleep."

"It's not midday or noon, how did you sleep?" Fuchami rebuked dissatisfiedly, but still suppressed his voice.Although she was not afraid of Tong Jiu, she was still afraid of Ji Lan.

"I only had a bowl of porridge at noon today, and I haven't taken the medicine yet." Looking at Ji Lan's inquiring eyes, Fu Chaqin said, "Master Jiu has been taking this medicine for a while, should he rest for two days?"

Hearing what she said, Ji Lan must have mentioned it, and said, "Well, let's rest for two days." After speaking, he lifted the curtain of the back room, looked in, turned around and said to Fu Chaqin in a low voice, "Go and give it to me." She puts a blanket on her, and I'll sit at shopkeeper Shu, and when she wakes up, send someone to call me."

"I heard that the entry documents for Dazhengchang Tongzhou Wharf have been completed, and I'm going to congratulate my boss." Seeing Ji Lan coming, Shu Guangxiu put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up and greeted him, "It's a good thing." The Dong family came by coincidence, look at me, I was completely defeated by Qi Dong's family."

"Mu Yun is here." Ji Lan smiled at Mu Yun, looked at the chess table in front of the two of them, and said to Shu Guangxiu, "Third Miss, this is restless." The three sat down in the Nuan Pavilion, The maids serve tea.

"Is Master Jiu alright?" Shu Guangxiu knew Mu Yun's thoughts of running to him every day these days, so he asked.

"Since Hong girl is gone, no one will take care of her, and the food is not easy to eat raw, let alone the medicine." Ji Lan is interested in the speaker, and Mu Yun is also interested in the listener.

"I brought some side dishes made by myself and smoked dried tofu, thinking that there should be no taboo with medicine, let's try serving it to Jiu'er?" Mu Yun asked the maid to bring a delicate small altar to Fu Chami .

"After being busy these days, Da Zhengchang's entry to Beijing is finally settled. Now that we're here, let's have dinner together, but the house has been quiet for a few days." Ji Lan invited Mu Yun, and then turned to Shu Guangxiu Said, "See if there is anything you want to eat. Do you order noodles outside, or let the dining room do it?"

Shu Guangxiu said, "That's kind, I just want to eat the roast duck in the west of the city, and today, with the help of Dong Qi's family, I will send someone to order three."

"Order five, and call the children too. Lao Jiu will take some after taking his medicine today." Ji Lan said to Shu Guangxiu's servant girl.

"Now, everything is ready and it's only due to the east wind." Shu Guangxiu can see clearly how Ji Lan took every step of the way in the matter of Dazhengchang, and how much thought and money he spent.

Now that it was finally done, she was also happy, saying, "As soon as the goods from Mr. Hua's side enter Beijing from Tongzhou Wharf, Mr. Jiu's Dazhengchang will be able to open. Such a big happy event, I'm afraid it is a panacea for Mr. Jiu." It all came really well.”

Speaking of Hua Jingfu, they have been away for two months.

Ji Lan sighed, and said, "It's not easy to take advantage of the east wind. Wherever the canal passes, everyone wants to take a share. I cleared the way for the officials, and the other gangs, Long Big and small gangs with mixed snakes, it depends on Jing Fu's ability."

"Well, it's up to people to plan things." Shu Guangxiu nodded in agreement and said, "If you want to accomplish a big thing, you really have to think about every aspect, and it takes a long time. At first, I thought that I just wanted to coax that The daughter of the water transport envoy will be able to get the admission documents."

Shu Guangxiu said with emotion, "But I never thought that after what happened to Yongxi Baylor, the water envoy also took the money, but they didn't see it behind closed doors, and delayed it again and again."

"Just remember, those who can gain a foothold in this capital must be human beings." Ji Lan said with a faint smile, "They also have to look at the intentions of the various palaces. The reason why they should It's because of Prince Yi's mansion that we were killed. Right now, if Fu Heng hadn't overwhelmed Prince Yi's mansion, you can just wait for our matter."

Speaking of which, Ji Lan looked at Mu Yun, who had been silent all this time, and said, "The good news is that Lao Jiu is much calmer now, and I know how to take care of her when I watch her speak and do things, and make a few more detours." That kind of doting His joy is beyond words.

"She has a family and a business now, how can she always be as reckless as she was when she was a child." Mu Yun echoed.

At dinner, Tong Jiu looked at the roast duck on the table, as well as Lvyin Chen, Ji Lan and Guangxiu, and asked with a smile, "What day is it today? I can eat all of these?"

Seeing Ji Lan nodding, Tong Jiu picked up the nearby dried tofu with his chopsticks, ate it, and frowned.

"Why, doesn't it smell right?" Ji Lan asked casually.

"This smell—." Tong Jiu chewed another piece, and asked, "Is there a guest at home?"

After finishing speaking, Mu Yun came in from behind holding a plate of sauced fish made by himself, and placed it in front of Tong Jiu.Seeing Tong Jiu looking at herself in surprise, she sat down without turning her head, and just said, "Eat it while it's hot."

"From now on, in my mansion, you don't have to do these servant jobs." After Tong Jiu said something, she poured the wine by herself.

He raised his glass and said to those present, "I have been sick these days, and I am tired of your troubles. Although there are no outsiders here, I still want to thank you for your help."

"If Master Nine wants to thank you, it is Mrs. Xie." Shu Guangxiu said sincerely, "These days, if there is no madam's care and running around the house, I'm afraid it would have been messed up. Madam doesn't say these things, but I To say."

Shu Guangxiu took a sip of wine, and said, "You have to cherish your body in the future just because of Madam, Madam has been working too hard these days."

"Hey, didn't you say you want to eat roast duck? It will be cold after a while." Ji Lan interrupted Shu Guangxiu.

"Jiuye, you don't know how many times we were shut down by the water transport envoy, and how many good things we said, in exchange for Dazhengchang's entry into Tongzhou today." Shu Guangxiu said with red eyes, "I'm used to laughing, That's all. Madam, she shouldn't be wronged like that."

"Guangxiu, don't talk about it." Ji Lan said to everyone present, "This family is not owned by Master Jiu alone. Compared to Master Jiu's suffering, what does my face matter?"

As he spoke, he took Tong Jiu's bowl, sandwiched the vegetables, and said, "Eat more, don't waste Miss Biao's efforts."

Tong Jiu was originally a little unhappy about cooking for Mu Yun, but after hearing what Shu Guangxiu said, and seeing Ji Lan serving food for him, his heart turned back and forth.

After accepting the job, he said, "When Jing Fu's goods arrive, I will leave the customs."
