Aunt Zhao's happy life

Jia Zheng ate his food silently, thinking he should find a reason to go home.

Zhan Guang smiled and said to the woman: "Miss Xiaoyi, I'm really embarrassed. Our master is a noble and upright man. When we meet foreign women, he always acts like a Taoist gentleman, but he is a very good man."

Then he said to Jia Zheng: "Jia Cunzhou, what is the relationship between you and me? Do you need to put on airs? Although you are not a flamboyant person, you are also romantic after all. Don't act like you are not enlightened. This girl Xiaoyi also She is not a frivolous type, playing poetry, singing, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even persuading wine and serving tea, are all top-notch in Nanchang Mansion. How many princes and tyrants want to marry her back home, but she is only determined to marry a refined and upright person. Like me, she Haven't looked at it yet!"

Jia Zheng forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that my wife and concubine have both, and I don't have that intention."

Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhan doesn't have to force it. This is what I admire about him. I wish Master Jia and his sweetheart a happy life together!"

While talking, there were hurried footsteps going upstairs again. Jia Zheng saw that Rui'er came with pillow ink and Ruyan. Seeing Xiaoyi, the anger on Rui'er's face instantly calmed down.

"Zhan Guang, who is this?"

"Oh, this is a friend of mine, a confidante." Zhan Guang quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

"I think you introduced it to my husband, right?" Rui'er said while looking at Xiaoyi, trying to hide the timid feeling in her heart.

Zhan Guang said with a smile: "You said that last time, how dare I! This is what I like, she is gentle and elegant, and she is generous. I don't think it will tarnish Master Jia's eyes, so I brought it here and eat it." It's just a meal."

Ruier sat down next to Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng fed a piece of sauced beef into Ruier's mouth: "How is it? Does it taste good?" Ruier said, "The knife is really good, it's cut so thin."

But sitting across from such a beautiful woman who is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, her behavior and speech are not overstepping the rules, Rui'er only feels a kind of bewildered threat and oppression.

For the first time in her life, she felt completely inferior.

Seeing Jia Min often, she just thinks that she is like a fairy, but after all, she is her man's biological sister, and she can only cherish and respect her.Now, this woman who is close at hand not only has amazing beauty, but also has a quiet and refined temperament, and is also knowledgeable and courteous. This is something she does not have at all, and it is also what Jia Zheng needs.

Jia Zheng was unaware of Ruier's mental activity, and gave her another foie gras with chopsticks, Ruier didn't open her mouth in a daze.Jia Zheng said softly, "If you don't have an appetite, let's go home. I've almost eaten too."

Rui'er stared blankly at the table: "Second Master, take her home!"

"What are you talking about?" Jia Zheng was startled, "You still don't believe me?"

Rui'er's eyes dimmed: "She is indeed a good woman, I can tell at a glance, she is more suitable for you than me. Although you treat me very well, I deserve it. How can I be in this position Woolen cloth?"

Jia Zheng took Ruier's hand and stood up, saying goodbye to Zhan Guang and Xiaoyi: "Let's go back first, see you later!"

As soon as she went out, Rui'er cried "Wow", "Why didn't you take her home?"

Jia Zheng put his arms around her waist: "Are you sick? Why take it home?"

Rui'er choked up and said: "Everything is better than me..."

"Really? Why didn't I see anything?"

When they got home, Rui'er was still sobbing, and Jia Zheng kept talking softly and tenderly.

At night, the two shared a pillow and talked about themselves.

Ruier asked: "Are you considering my feelings, or do you really not like it?"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Are you so unconfident? Am I the kind of person who meets someone and loves someone else? I can only pretend to be you alone in my heart. No matter who is in front of me, I can't fall in love with you. At most, it’s just a bit of admiration, which has nothing to do with gender, for example, if someone writes well, I’ll say her handwriting is really good, but does it have anything to do with my falling in love with her?”

Ruier said: "I think I'm too selfish. I occupy you like this, but I can't help you, I can't be your confidante, I can't have children, and I don't have any skills. I only have a bad temper and recklessness. I don't have any advantages." No. In fact, if there is a woman who is good at everything and loves you very much, I am willing to quit! Really, as long as you are better and happier, I can go to be a maid under the stove."

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Are you stupid? Don't you understand my heart for you? There is no better woman in the world than you, absolutely no! You are born to be the most suitable for me, and I am born to need you Yes, you are smart and cute, you are innocent and unrestrained, you are kind Chicheng, how can you say that you have no advantages?"

Ruier is still immersed in sadness: "I don't deserve..."

Jia Zheng put on his clothes and got up: "My piano is covered with dust. I haven't played a song for a long time. To relieve your boredom, let me play "Bu Suanzi"!"

In front of the window, under the moonlight, Jia Zheng was wearing his hair in the wind, playing and singing: "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day without seeing you, and drink the water of the Yangtze River together. When the water will stop, when will this hatred end. May your heart be like mine, and you will live up to your lovesickness..."

Rui'er was brought into a dream by the sound of flowing water and the distant and peaceful singing. Jia Zheng sat there singing softly, as if he was still the boy he was back then.

Rui'er also got up, dancing in the moonlight through the window, singing softly, and Jia Zheng echoed with the sound of the piano:

"At dusk, let's remove the remaining makeup, the westerly wind outside the window is cold through the gauze.

Listening to the sound of bananas and the drizzle, where can I chat with others?

Looking through the autumn waters, I don't see him returning home, I miss him and hate him.

Holding red embroidered shoes in hand to tell ghosts, I hope you will come back, sir!

Free from slave lovesickness, shed tears like hemp..."

At the end of the song, Jia Zheng indulged in the song for a long time and did not speak.

Rui'er said: "What's the matter, I can't sing well, don't you want to praise me today?"

Jia Zheng embraced Rui'er: "You see that you are so spiritual, and you always underestimate yourself. There is a saying that although you can't reach it, you yearn for it. Although you can't become a person who is proficient in all kinds of poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you You are always so fascinated by beautiful things, and always go after them, this is your strength!"

Rui'er said: "But I'm just the kind of lower Liba person you mentioned, I don't know what spring and snow are, so I can't respond to you."

Jia Zheng said: "Let me tell you a story! During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Boya who was the best at playing the qin. One year, when he was on a mission to the Kingdom of Chu, he encountered wind and waves on a boat and stopped at the foot of the mountain. At night, he was on the moon. Playing the qin, a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi passed by wearing a coir raincoat and carrying a load, and he was fascinated by what he heard."

Rui'er laughed and said, "This woodcutter's name is really nice!"

Jia Zheng continued: "Bo Ya thought to himself, how can a woodcutter understand the sound of the piano? He asked Zhong Ziqi, "Tell me, what tune am I playing?" Zhong Ziqi said, "It's a towering mountain." Boya changed to a fresh and smooth tune, Zhong Ziqi said: This is the gurgling water! Boya was very happy when he heard it, and he never thought that a woodcutter in the country was a bosom friend he could not find, so they talked very well Huan, make an appointment to meet next time."

Ruier asked: "What happened later? Did we meet later?"

Jia Zhengdao: "The next year Boya revisited his hometown, but Zhong Ziqi had passed away. Boya lost his confidant. He played "High Mountains and Flowing Water" when we met again, broke the strings, and stopped playing the piano. Ruier, I I tell this story to tell you that a spiritual person's understanding of art is far better than book knowledge, don't feel inferior, don't worry, you are my Zhong Ziqi! Don't say anything stupid to find me a beauty Confidant, you are my only confidant in this world."

Rui'er leaned on Jia Zheng's shoulder, feeling a layer of mist enveloping her eyes...

Mrs. Wang wrote to say that her elder brother Wang Ziteng had made great contributions to the administration of the Nine Provinces, and Jia Zheng had also made outstanding achievements in government affairs. Therefore, the family has received many rewards recently, and attached a long list to the letter:

There are fifty catties of shad in one basket, a total of one hundred baskets; ten bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus dew, rose dew, and rose dew; one boat of melons and fruits; three boats of dry goods...

The Jia family has not received such kindness for many years. Jia Zheng knew that in addition to his own political achievements, he was also honored by Prince Teng, but he was still very happy.Jia's mother and everyone in Jia's family were also beaming with joy, but there was nothing wrong with it. This rare honor is the most precious.

When Jia Zheng was resting, he took Rui'er to the theater to listen to music.

In a small place, the sound of silk and bamboo is really unbearable throughout the year. It is really hard to find out that there is such a good place to listen to operas.

Although this theater is small, it is decorated with great taste. It is elegant and deserted, without the bustle and absurdity of soliciting customers.

The girls in the theatrical troupe were also exiles from Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou, and they were all trained by famous teachers, so their babbling and babbling are full of charm, and Rui'er was moved to tears a few times.Jia Zheng also sighed and said: "These people's singing is much more moving than the opera troupe in our mansion!"

In the evening, Jia Zheng took Rui'er to watch the fisherman's girl dance. After dinner, the two mingled with the crowd and sang and danced around the bonfire. The firelight reflected their smiling faces, and the loud voices drowned out their conversation.After dancing until midnight, they followed the dragon and lion dancers to roam the streets, and they didn't rest until dawn.

At lunchtime the next day, the two of them got up to have a quick meal, and then went out to go crazy again.

Jia Zhengfei had to pick wild honey for Rui'er to drink. When Rui'er saw the dense bees buzzing, she was scared and fled.With the help of the old farmer, Jia Zheng had the courage to gather a little honey, and immediately ran to the place where he was staying to boil water, and melted the sweet honey for Rui'er to drink.

After drinking honey, Rui'er ran around all over the mountains and fields. In the golden rapeseed field, under the peach blossoms like red clouds, Rui'er's beauty lit up Jia Zheng's whole world.

Rui'er was picking small flowers in the field, and suddenly pointed not far away: "What is this? A small hut, where children play house?"

Jia Zheng said: "Shh... don't talk nonsense, have a sense of reverence for the gods, this is an earth temple."

Rui'er laughed and said, "Such a small temple is so cute! I'm going to kowtow, and beg the Bodhisattva to let me have a child soon!"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "The Land Bodhisattva doesn't care about having children. He only cares about the good weather and good harvest."

Rui'er still fell down and bowed down: "Then please ask this Bodhisattva to take care of extra business and bless me to conceive a child!"

Jia Zheng laughed so hard that he was about to lose his breath: "How can he manage what he shouldn't?"

Rui'er snorted: "What do you know? Bodhisattvas know each other. He can't control it. You can send a message for me and ask his friends to take care of it!"

Jia Zheng nodded: "Yes, yes, you are quite right!"
