Aunt Zhao's happy life

Seeing that Jia Zheng really wanted to hear it, Rui'er sang from memory: "The ground is red with a pole, and there are countless pululu jujubes. There is a gust of wind when a man beats a jujube, and a woman picks up a jujube and hits her head and hurts! Damn, you will die later." Hi, don’t feel bad if you can’t pick it up!” Jia Zheng suppressed a laugh before he finished singing.

Rui'er continued to sing: "Two poles hit the sun red, red dates are bouncing all over the ground, men beat dates with smiles on their faces, women pick up dates and their hair is covered. Dead ghosts, dead ghosts, you can beat them later, there are so many dates that I can't lift them." !” Jia Zheng bit his lip for fear of laughing out loud!

Rui'er sang again: "Three poles are beaten to make the day red, pululu red dates layer by layer, men's hands feel weak when beating dates, women pick up dates and think about the situation. Dead ghost, dead ghost, you can beat it later, and count this year's good harvest!"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "It's great! I like it! You're very happy!"

Ruier asked: "Then why are you laughing? You don't laugh when you say you're off tune!"

Jia Zheng smiled and pinched her chin: "I'm just laughing at how cute this woman picking up dates is, just like my pistil!"

Rui'er turned around and went into the room: "Hmph! You're just taking advantage of me!"

As the days of taking office deepened, Jia Zheng also gradually got to know some colleagues, as well as some literati, and made friends with others from time to time. The initial loneliness and depression did not adapt, but it was much better.

At the beginning, Ruier always felt that an ugly daughter-in-law was afraid of seeing her parents-in-law. When guests came, she would inevitably be at a loss. What a blessing for Jia!" Friends also often praised Rui'er's love and righteousness, and her infatuation, and after a long time, Rui'er has also learned to be generous, talking and laughing freely.

In order not to embarrass Jia Zheng, Rui'er always keeps the house clean and elegant, simple and peaceful.Every time a distinguished guest comes, Rui'er will cook in person and stir-fry a few special dishes.

After the guests left, Jia Zheng always felt sorry for her: "Why do you need to be a servant, don't cook for yourself next time!"

Rui'er said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? Isn't it noble to do something? Isn't it noble to wait for others to serve you and not work all year round?"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "When you were in Rongxi Hall, you didn't have the opportunity to go to the kitchen except for frying small crabs and grilling some river fish. Why did you suddenly become a cook?"

Ruier smiled and said: "In the past few months, I have practiced at home every day, learned from the cooks, and added some creativity by myself. I didn't expect that cooking and stir-frying is not so difficult!"

Rui'er knows that she is not a wife, so she has never put on airs or shy away from it.She likes to go grocery shopping with her servants, and buy pots and pans for daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, and pans. She always says, "It feels so good to run a house by myself!" She even surrounded two vegetable gardens in the yard with everyone. , Learn how to grow vegetables in a decent way.

Jia Zheng looked at the luxuriant vegetable garden and said with a smile: "You are Tao Yuanming's grassy bean sprouts are scarce, hahaha!" Ruier said: "Who can do it perfectly the first time? We haven't done it yet. After finding out the two lands, I don’t know what to pay attention to in different dishes, I will know when I learn more from the common people outside!”

Perhaps because she is a poor child kidnapped and sold by the people, Rui'er lives like a fish in water in the market. If she doesn't know how to cook a dish, she can go to the street and ask her aunt.If you have no experience in growing vegetables, you can also learn from the old man directly.Washing clothes with the maids by the stream, always chatting with the girls outside, forgetting the time.

If encountering injustice, Rui'er would definitely stand up, and she almost suffered a loss several times, and was protected by Changsheng and Fugui.When she meets extremely poor old people and children, she can't help but help them out. In fact, living here, they themselves are not very well-off.

Facing Jia Zheng's friends, Aunt Zhao didn't know those poems and songs, she would only take care of everyone enthusiastically and consider everyone's feelings, like a virtuous and bright young woman in an ordinary family.These scholars are used to being cautious, but when they came to Jia Zheng's place, they felt like a spring breeze when they saw such an informal and unrestrained person.

To the domestic servants, Rui Er treats her family members as well.She often said to the servants and maids: "We support each other, and we are all brothers and sisters. Since we live in the same house and build a small family, we are all one family." Big confidants are not only playmates, but also right-hand men. Ruier knows Jia Zheng's trust and value for them, and always greets them like brothers.

It's too ostentatious to go out wearing gold and silver after leaving the deep house compound.Aunt Zhao reluctantly put away the bracelets and gold hairpins that Jia Zheng had given her over the years, and she dressed plainly and low-key every day, at most picking a few fresh flower hairpins on her head.

Jia Zheng felt that Rui'er was more beautiful than before, and he often stared at Rui'er in a daze for a long time.Rui'er was embarrassed by being stared at, and said angrily: "I didn't wash my face clean or didn't apply the powder evenly? You have to stare at me like this!"

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "You really don't like makeup, powder, and color. Now you don't wear gold or silver, and you dress lightly, but it shows your natural good complexion. Your flesh and blood are smooth, your skin is delicate, your eyes are almond-shaped, and your cheeks are peachy. How can fat-adjusting and powder-imitated skins compare?"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that you will think that I am so indifferent that I will be a servant after all!"

Jia Zheng said: "Don't talk nonsense! How can your charm be compared with those vulgar fans!"

Don't think that Jia Zheng is a Taoist gentleman to outsiders, he is serious and gossips in front of Rui'er!

At night when the lights are off and the two of them are under the covers, Jia Zheng will tell many interesting things:

"Xu Tianxiao, the official book of the Hanlin Academy, you don't know, he secretly kept two outhouses outside, and was beaten by his wife for several days so he couldn't go out, and he claimed that he couldn't walk because of severe rheumatism!"

"Guozijian Supervisor Du Rufei looks like a dog. You don't know that his wife Ru was snatched from the street! For this woman, he beat his betrothed fiancé to death. One day this matter will be ginseng, enough for him to eat!"

"There is a Zong imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. His daughter-in-law has an affair with someone, and her belly is big. The family congratulates him on getting a son. What did he say? He said that he has never touched a woman in the past five years!"

……

Aunt Zhao liked to hear such things. Every time, she pestered Jia Zheng and asked, "What happened afterwards? How did they do after that?" The two often chatted until they fell asleep, laughing and laughing every night, so there is no need to repeat them.

Besides, Aunt Zhao heard too much about men raising women outside to find famous prostitutes, and she was very unhappy, so she asked Jia Zheng, "You don't want to do many of these things without telling me, do you?"

Jia Zheng panicked: "How can I have the guts? Do I dare to provoke my Rui'er? Besides, with a fairy like you, who else can I look up to? I just like it. If you hold the money, what can I support?" ?”

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still thinking about it, Jia Zheng asked back: "So many people's daughters-in-law Hongxing cheating, you've heard it very well, have you ever done such a thing?"

Aunt Zhao became angry when she heard this: "Fuck! Who am I cheating on? With Changsheng or Fugui? When I was at your house, with Uncle Xi? Don't talk to make me sick!"

Jia Zheng put his arms around her and coaxed her: "Why can't you take a joke? You are allowed to make fun of me, but I am not allowed to say a word! I'm just teasing you!"

Aunt Zhao said solemnly: "I'm not afraid to do anything for you, but I'm afraid that you don't understand me. In this life, I will be your second master's man, and I will be your ghost when I die. Don't compare me with other stinky people." When men talk about it together, they are not even allowed to think about it!"

Jia Zheng hugged her and said, "I understand you! I was wrong, don't say such things again, let alone my tongue has sores!"

When I'm with the person I love the most, time flies so fast, and it's been almost half a year since I arrived in Nanchang Mansion.

Jia Zheng said to Aunt Zhao: "Let's go on the Si Festival and arrive in April. Now it is the end of September, and there are still three months to go on annual leave. How fast!"

Ruier said: "Why do I feel like I haven't been here for a long time! When I'm with you, every day goes so fast, I accompany you when you rest, and wait for you when you're not at home."

Jia Zheng said: "It's hard for a monkey like you to go to jail here. Let's do it. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the late emperor's death. There's no need to go to the yamen. Let's go out and play for a day!"

Ruier asked: "Have you decided where to go? It's a bit cold to go out to play now!"

Jia Zheng thought about it for a while: "Actually, I'm not very familiar with it, why don't we go to Meiling!"

Ruier asked: "Is there anything interesting to see in Meiling?"

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "I heard that during the Han Dynasty, there were famous scholars practicing Taoism there. Since ancient times, many literati have been attracted to Meiling. Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zhang Jiuling, you don't know. Anyway, you go to climb the mountain to see The scenery is enough!"

Zhenmo and Ruyan were too excited to fall asleep when they heard that they were going to climb a mountain.Fugui and Changsheng couldn't wait to set off immediately, and came to Jia Zheng several times to confirm.

Early the next morning, a group of people set off against the cold autumn wind and bumped to the foot of Meiling. The sun rose and it was much warmer.

Rui'er has a pair of big feet, walking like flying, no slower than Changsheng and the others, Zhenmo and Ruyan are chasing after them panting from a distance.

This is indeed a good place to climb mountains, the mountains are steep and there are many mountains.It's hot to walk, and even the wind is not cold, but just right and comfortable.

While wiping his sweat, Jia Zheng told Ruier to slow down and wait for him. Along the way, he told Ruier what kind of tree it was, what kind of flower it was, what kind of bird it was, what kind of lake it was, what mountain it was, Explained tirelessly.

When they arrived at a Taoist temple, Ruier said, "I know this, this stone house is a Taoist temple!"

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, it is a Taoist temple called Ziyang Palace, and Deng Yu is enshrined in it. This person is not simple! He assisted Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu to ascend the throne, but he saw through the world and resigned. Subduing demons and eliminating demons."

Ruier clapped her hands in admiration: "You are amazing! You know everything! There is nothing in the world that you don't know!"
