Aunt Zhao's happy life

After drinking ginseng soup and sleeping on the warm and spacious bed for the night, Rui'er felt much more comfortable and didn't have a single dream all night.

Early the next morning, the boatman came to remind him, but Jia Zheng couldn't bear to wake Rui'er up, so he hesitated in the room.

Zhen Mo persuaded: "Second Master, your early arrival is the top priority, don't be confused!"

Jia Zheng had no choice but to wake up Rui'er, and blamed himself: "I really want to give up all the fame and fortune, in exchange for you to sleep peacefully!"

Rui'er was also very reluctant to get up, but she still said while washing and washing: "The days ahead will be long, get through these few days, there will be many good days!"

After a delicious breakfast, Axi and Ale prepared some dry food, and the group boarded the boat again.

With the experience of the previous two days, taking a boat in the following days is no longer so scary, although dizziness and vomiting are still inevitable, and they are all within the range of restraint.

Axi took out the rice wine brought from the shore and poured it from the gourd into the cup. It was still warm. Everyone drank the rice wine, ate the pickled melon, and talked about what they had seen and heard in the past few days. The time passed much faster than before. .

Unable to go ashore at night, Rui'er was even interested in going to the bow of the boat, sitting on the ground and watching the stars and the swaying water plants on the shore.Jia Zhengdao: "It doesn't matter if the daughter of a family like us has read a lot of poetry and books, it's not as good as your natural poetry. There is no affectation and no pretense."

Rui'er pointed at the sparkling light: "Look, the moon is broken!"

Jia Zheng clapped his hands and said, "A fish jumped out of the water!"

Rui'er laughed and said, "Will there be sharks?"

Zhenmo and Ruyan also came to join in the fun and sang under the moonlight. Ruier's discomfort was mostly healed at this time, and she danced to their singing.

Jia Zheng praised: "There is a bright moon on the river and a beautiful woman by my side. Who is so blessed as me?"

On the days when she was able to go ashore, Rui'er would often drag Jia Zheng along the streets of a foreign land regardless of her fatigue, feeling the different customs and customs, and savoring the rural life that she had never seen in the mansion.Even living in a small shop is fun.They open a small window, drink a glass of turbid wine, face the breeze and bright moon, and dogs bark and insects sing, all of which are human scenes that did not exist in the past.Old tables, hemp tents, broken chairs, simple tea and light food, all of them are beautiful.

When the weather was fine, they lamented the great rivers and mountains on the boat. The morning glow and sunset, the isolated island of Xiaoting, the surging waves, and the flat lake like a mirror are all fascinating.And when it rains to moor the boat, they listen to the rain in the river, letting the rain drift into the window, misty, as if isolated from the world.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, Jia Zheng told everyone, "It's time to change the carriage!"

Ruier asked: "How far is it?"

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "The worst days are over. Although there are still thousands of miles to go, at least half of them have already gone."

This statement later proved to be completely blindly optimistic!

But at this time, everyone's mood became brighter. There was no need to take a boat. At least the carriages passed by places where there were people, and hot meals and hot kangs could still be expected.

Soon, their expectations were dashed.

Although the boat was very dizzy and often bumpy, it was still much more comfortable than a carriage that was so cramped that it was difficult to move.What's more frightening is that the ruggedness and steepness along the road is beyond imagination, and the bumps are ten times stronger than those on the boat.Within an hour, all the men and women in a group of cars and horses vomited, and in less than half a day, everyone's muscles and bones were exhausted, and their backs ached.Under such circumstances, it is necessary to maintain a stable sitting posture to prevent falls, and to control oneself at all times.Not to mention the bed, no matter how dizzy, tired or hungry, you have to sit upright!

The mountain roads often stretch for hundreds of miles and there are no people. Where cars and horses cannot go, people have to come down to push the carts, and rely on a little dry food to eat.The most difficult thing is at night, the mountains and forests are not comparable to the river, any slight movement of wind and grass is creepy, even a small animal running past can startle a group of people to call their parents and mothers.There was no light, no shelter, the bold ones were lying on the ground, and the timid ones were sitting and sleeping in the car.

Under such torment, within three days, everyone was on the verge of mental breakdown.Hunger, thirst, fear, and fatigue are like a shadow, and the front is always so far away, and the arrival is far away.

Rui'er's abdominal pain broke out again. She said it was a kind of hollow pain, as if the internal organs had been hollowed out.She didn't want to sleep on the grass in the wild, and she couldn't support herself while sitting in the car. Jia Zheng was always on the side, letting her lean on her.

Jia Zheng had to worry about money and belongings, and the safety of everyone, and also had to calculate the journey time, and kept on protecting Rui Er. After a few days, he couldn't hold it anymore. At first it was just a little cold, and then he had a high fever.

Rui'er struggled to get up, swept the dewdrops on the grass with her belt, wrapped Jia Zheng's forehead to cool down, and then sat up firmly so that he could lean on her.Whenever Jia Zheng wakes up, he massages Rui'er's abdomen again, making her squint for a while.

In such a situation, they used up the last bit of warmth to care for each other and depended on each other for life.

Fortunately, the closer to Nanchang Mansion, the denser the population.Having a place to sleep and a place to eat is the greatest happiness for all.

With the resting place, everyone was able to have a deep sleep every night, eat a full meal, and gradually regained their physical strength. Jia Zheng's high fever gradually subsided, and Rui'er's abdominal pain became less frequent.

After traveling for more than a month, Jia Zheng and Rui'er finally arrived at their new home!

The residence arranged by the government is naturally not as luxurious and spacious as Jia's, but it is enough to build a small family!

Rui'er didn't care about hard work, and before she had a rest, she thought about flexing her muscles and arranging her new home.Unexpectedly, she soon became unaccustomed to the environment before traveling far, and had innumerable red spots all over her body, which were extremely itchy.Three or four days later, Hongdiandian gradually got better, but Ruier kept having diarrhea again. After a few days, she collapsed.

Jia Zheng didn't trust others to take care of him, so he did everything by himself. He stayed by Rui'er's side to ask about her health, cooked soup and medicine, and scrubbed her body several times a day to calm her anxiety.

Rui'er couldn't wait to get up and do something. Fortunately, the acclimatization lasted for ten days and passed.Jia Zheng's new official took office, and he was very busy. Rui'er led the servants and servants to arrange the sweeping and sweeping of the house neatly, giving it a new look.She arranged accommodation and tasks for everyone, and worked hard to learn the ability to handle housework as a hostess, just like a housewife.

The official position in Jiangxi Liangdao is not so easy to sit. Jia Zheng’s first foreign appointment and the first time to get in touch with the people’s sentiments in a real way. He only feels that there are obstacles everywhere. The local gentry and officials have their own factions. Put this new Mr. Jia in your eyes.

Jia Zheng wanted to make some political achievements, worthy of the sage and the common people, but it was really difficult to get started.

Every night when Jia Zheng came home, it was the most relaxing moment for Jia Zheng. No matter how late it was, Rui Er would wait for him leaning against the door, and the lights from the corridor to the room were all on for him.As soon as she saw his figure, she ran over joyfully, gave him a deep kiss on the face, and then hurriedly ordered the cook to heat up the dishes, while pouring wine for him.

Jia Zheng sometimes talked to her about the strife and complexity in the officialdom, Ruier seemed to understand, but Jia Zheng didn't care much.As long as such a delicate woman gives him a safe haven every day, allowing him to avoid the wind and frost swords of the outside world, he will be content.

Nanchang Mansion is not as prosperous as the capital city, and it is not as romantic and romantic as Jinling, the former site of Jia Mansion. Except for a few women in the family who are staring at each other, there is almost no fun to find, and there is no sound of silk and bamboo throughout the year.

Rui'er knew that Jia Zheng's troubles were far beyond her comprehension, she just wanted to bring him a little comfort, so that he could get a little tenderness and warmth in the world.

But in such a place, it is difficult to learn anything, you can't find a master, and you can't figure out the way.

Rui'er had no choice but to join Zhenmo and Ruyan in pondering over the tunes sung by the Liyuan children in Jia's mansion in the past, and even the dances performed by Jia She's concubine Ji. .

Rui'er doesn't believe in evil, she takes Zhenmo and Ruyan to go shopping every day, especially to teahouses, and when she meets storytellers and drummers, she just listens carefully and learns secretly.

When Jia Zheng came back, Rui'er seriously took a folding fan and an inkstone as a gavel and slapped it on the table: "By the way, during the Song Dynasty, there lived a farmer in Yuejiazhuang, Tangyin County. Yue He married his wife, the Yao family. The couple were honest and honest, and they responded to the needs of the neighbors. Therefore, they got a blessing, they got a son when they were old, and they named them Yue Fei. Why is it called Yue Fei? That day..."

Before Rui'er finished speaking, Jia Zheng was already lying on the table with a smile: "Go and put on a beard, it's exactly the same as Mr. Storyteller! Where did you learn it?"

Rui'er said mysteriously: "I got advice from an expert!"

Jia Zheng asked: "Did you go out to play secretly and learn to make me happy?"

Rui'er smiled and said: "I have no talent, singing is just like that, dancing is not so good, and I don't know any musical instruments. It's hard to find some fun for Second Master!"

Jia Zheng said: "You are so proud that you seem to be number one in the world, but when you are humble, you call yourself worthless. Don't you sing very well? When we went to Houhai, I still remember the ditty you sang! A while ago You danced to the moon on the boat, and you fascinated me, and you said you can't dance?"

Rui'er shyly said: "Small tunes can't be on the stage, I danced wildly by myself, and I didn't learn it seriously. If the second master doesn't laugh at me, he's just giving me face!"

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "I just like you who is real and natural. You don't have to change anything for me. As long as I see you, your every move makes me feel comfortable! Really, even if you just sit and lie down, Even scolding people there, I like it."

Rui'er said: "Then let me sing a little tune, you can listen to it! This is also what I stole from the teahouse: The moon bends to illuminate Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad! Some couples put together tents, and some families drift away In another state!"

Jia Zheng clapped his hands and said, "It's hard for you to sing such elegant words! Are there any more?"

Rui'er thought for a while: "There's another song that I'm not very familiar with, I'm afraid I'll sing out of tune, don't laugh when you hear it!"

Jia Zheng said: "Anyway, I don't know how, and I can't hear you off-tune. I promise not to laugh!"
