Aunt Zhao's happy life

Zhao Rui'er put down the broom and went to fetch water from the well. A bucket of water was spilled, and only half of the bucket was left in Rongxi Hall.She poured the water into the large water tank in the yard with great effort, which only made a foundation.

She was wiping off her sweat and was about to fetch water again, when Mrs. Wang came out, stood on the steps, and glared at her: "Rui'er, what have you been doing all afternoon? The ground is full of melon seed shells and paper scraps!" She went down the steps to look at the water tank again: "I didn't lift the water! You didn't do anything, you just put on a show here, as if you were extremely tired, are you waiting to bump into Mr. Zheng, and act coquettishly to save you? Then you just wait, he was kept by the master, and he went to talk about economics with the guests, and he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how can he take care of you?"

Rui'er lowered her head and replied softly: "Madam, let's go into the house to rest, the sun is very hot at the moment, you just call Chunlan and the others to come and watch me. I will definitely clean up the yard and fill up the water tank. "

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "You're pretty smart, knowing that no one can help you."

Seeing Mrs. Wang entering the house, Rui'er went all out to fetch water bucket after bucket. Her waist was sore and her legs were weak, and she was soaked in sweat. She was still holding on, praying in her heart: "Second Lord, come back soon! Second Master, come back soon! ah!"

She knew that the more embarrassed she was, the more distressed Jia Zheng would be.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, Rui'er only felt that her eyes were dark, and she was flustered and short of breath.The path from the well outside the courtyard to the Rongxi Hall has become extremely long, and it seems that it will never end.

Rui'er gritted her teeth, struggling desperately to move forward, stumbled.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he was pouring water into the big water tank, his hands and feet were trembling, when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Rui'er, you..."

It's the Second Master Zheng who is back!

Ruier was already on the verge of collapse, but when she heard his voice, she immediately showed [-] points of fatigue and grievance: "Second Lord, you are back!"

Jia Zhengdai wanted to ask her something, but she just carried the bucket and went out of the courtyard without saying a word.

Jia Zheng followed her, watching her soft body that was about to collapse at any moment, and followed her all the way to the well.

"Rui'er, don't do these rough jobs! You were told to grind ink before, but you said you would rather carry water and burn firewood. Now you know that you didn't do this work, right?"

"Second master, how can I be the master?"

"Who asked you to do it?"

Rui'er's tears were like broken beads: "Ma'am, she... She came to the old lady and said that I bullied her and wanted to drive me out to be a kid. I was afraid of leaving the second master, so I had to admit my crime and accept punishment. Water is nothing, after all, I am a slave. But none of the girls in Rongxitang is nobler than me, and they also come to bully me, deliberately throwing melon seeds everywhere, tearing up the bad words written by the second master and throwing them everywhere. Can't finish it either!"

Jia Zheng snatched the bucket and threw it on the ground, then took Rui'er by the hand and walked towards Rongxi Hall. Rui'er was weak and tired, and had no strength to go up the steps.Jia Zheng squatted down: "Come on, I'll carry you back!"

Rui'er hesitated: "No, Second Master, I'm afraid!"

Jia Zheng touched her face: "What are you afraid of? I'm here!"

Rui'er rubbed her eyes pitifully: "Madam, she...she will be angry, and you won't always be by my side to protect me!"

Jia Zheng said: "Don't worry, whoever dares to bully you, I will not let her go!"

Rui'er obediently lay on Jia Zheng's back, put her face against him, and put her hands on his shoulders.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang and Chunlan were coming out to check on Ruier's mission. When they saw Jia Zheng carrying Ruier on his back, his face instantly turned livid.

Ruier beat Jia Zheng's shoulder: "Put me down! I want to come down!"

Jia Zheng didn't let go, and with Rui'er on his back, he yelled loudly: "Come on, come out! Listen to me! Rui'er is my woman, whoever dares to touch her, I will have trouble with her!"

A group of girls and women came to the yard, whispering.Wang Momo turned her face up and said to Ruier: "Come down quickly, come down quickly, there are so many people watching, don't mess around!"

Rui'er struggled to get down, but Jia Zheng just held her tighter.

"Rui'er, don't be afraid, just speak clearly!"

Jia Zheng turned his face away, rubbed Rui'er's pink and white hand, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone in Rongxi Hall, please remember that Zhao Rui'er is my sweetheart and my lifeblood, no one will allow it." Take her as a person, don't bully her behind my back, no matter who I find out, I will kick them out!"

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng fixedly: "What if it's me?"

Without hesitation, Jia Zheng said, "The same goes out!"

Madam Wang's eyes turned red in an instant: "Okay, very good! I am a majestic lady, and I will be kicked out at any time because of a servant girl. I will ask you if you dare! Just sweep the cracks in our Wang's house casually. Enough for your Jia family to eat for three years! If it weren’t for me, my brother would not have taken such an incompetent person like you seriously! Jia Zheng, what are you doing? Girl's playboy, I look down on you!"

Jia Zheng gently put Ruier down: "It doesn't matter whether you think highly of me or not. What I want to say now is that Zhao Ruier is my woman, do you understand? With me around for a day, she can't be wronged!"

As he spoke, Jia Zheng looked around and asked majestically, "Who threw the melon seeds? Stand up!"

Chen Xiang is a man of integrity, so he stood up immediately: "It's me!"

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "You promised simply, very good! Starting today, for a month in a row, you will be responsible for sweeping the yard and carrying water alone! Who is it that tore up my writing and threw it in the yard?"

Qi'er muttered: "It's me..."

Jia Zheng turned his head and asked Zhao Ruier, "How do you punish her?"

Ruier wanted to punish her to beg for mercy, but she smiled and said: "Forget it, maybe she didn't mean it."

Jia Zheng scolded Qi'er: "She doesn't even have the heart to punish you, how can you have the heart to hurt her? Compared with this, you are simply too vicious. How about this, starting today, you will be assigned by Ruier for a month! She will be yours this month." master!"

Qi'er was dissatisfied: "Why!"

Jia Zheng walked over: "Why? Just because she is my favorite woman! She deserves to be your master!"

From this day onwards, the Rongxi Hall really stopped for a while. Even if a group of women wanted to make trouble, Jia Zheng seldom went out.

Whenever Jia Zheng listened to Jia Daihua's order to read and write, Zhao Rui'er was asked to accompany him. Rui'er was not used to grinding ink and burning incense, so she just played around or slept soundly on the desk. Looking at her cute appearance, there was a smile on her face...

While Jia Daihua was not in Jinling, Jia Zheng took Rui'er out, walked through the streets, ate a big bowl of noodles, drank plum water, and flew a kite by the lake.

Jia Zheng said: "Of course I want a beauty kite. This round-faced one looks impatient, just like you. I'll fly this!"

Zhao Ruier said: "I want a tiger, I want to be the king of beasts!"

The kites of the two were flying in the air, and when they came together, Ruier said, "I want to eat your beauty!" Jia Zheng laughed and said, "I want to tame your tiger!"

Zhao Ruier ran wildly along the lake, Jia Zheng bent down, broke off a branch of tangerine, stuck it in Ruier's hair, and stared blankly for a long while: "Compared with you, this flower pales in comparison!"

Ruier smiled slightly, holding Jia Zheng's arm and leaning on his shoulder, the two walked slowly under the pear tree without saying anything.As the wind passed by, white and crystal-clear petals fluttered and fell on the two of them. The wind was full of fragrance and sweetness.

"Rui'er, if I wasn't the son of the Duke, would you still like me?" Jia Zheng asked.

Ruier smiled slyly: "I don't like it."

Seeing Jia Zheng's disappointed look, she said again: "Then I will love you."

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "Why?"

Ruier said: "Now you are superior, I am just a servant girl, I am inferior and afraid, and I have no status to love you. If you are nothing, I can love you as if I love a lover!"

Jia Zheng held Rui'er in his arms: "Fool! In front of me, don't worry, don't be afraid, I am your lover, you are my favorite girl, we are the same!"

Rui'er pouted: "When I arrived at Jia's mansion, I went back to my original shape. No one will allow me to love you, let alone you!"

Jia Zheng held Rui'er's chin: "Then, how about I ask mother for permission to let you be my aunt earlier?"

Rui'er turned her head away: "I've been in Jia's house for ten years, why don't I know? Being a concubine is the wife's big girl, and she can't have children, and she can't leave her side, it's like being in prison! Although I want to be a concubine, I also told you that I would follow you all my life, but I don't want to be controlled by Mrs. Wang early, I want to play for a few more years!"

Jia Zheng said: "Then I want to have children with you, and I want you to be my own master!"

Rui'er pulled away and ran away: "Don't use these words to deceive me, talk about it after you have done it!"

Jia Zheng followed behind, like a servant brought out by her.

In the evening, Jia Zheng took Rui'er to wander around the West Market. Rui'er wanted to eat chaos, and Jia Zheng wanted to eat Pipa duck. The two finished eating together, and shared a bowl of duck blood vermicelli, which made Rui'er beat a few Hiccup, unable to walk.

At the night market, with the bright lights, Ruier chose a Guan Gong made of lilac wood: "Let those villains never come near me again!" Jia Zheng smiled and chose a musician made of bamboo shoots: "I just want to be a Woman!" The two wore masks and shuttled through the crowd. At a glance, the petite Guan Gong was holding a stalwart musician, and the passers-by also laughed dumbfounded.

When they arrived at the jewelry store, Jia Zheng bought a pair of gourd-shaped earrings and put them on Rui'er lightly. Rui'er gritted her teeth in pain and said, "I have never had good earrings to wear, and the piercing is almost closed!" Then, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and looked at Jia Zheng in the mirror: "Zheng'er, you have such a good eye, I just like this kind of gold inlaid with jade!"

Jia Zheng stroked her hair lightly: "It's fine if you like it, just tell me what you want in the future."

Ruier shook her head: "I can only wear it quietly outside for a while, and put it away when I go back, or I will cause trouble again."

Jia Zheng sighed: "You are so pitiful! It's all my fault that I didn't give you a title and let you hide like this! Don't worry, I will make you Aunt Zhao as soon as possible!"

When it was Haishi, Jia Zheng said: "Let's go, we have to go back, otherwise the mansion will be closed!"

Rui'er hugged Jia Zheng's arm: "I don't want to go back! Outside you belong to me alone, once you go back you belong to Mrs. Wang, I don't want to go back!"

Jia Zheng kissed her on the forehead: "Be good, be obedient, I will take you out often in the future!"

When the two returned to Rongxi Hall, everyone was ready to rest, and Mrs. Wang was still waiting by a little candlelight.Rui'er quietly washed up in the outer suite and fell asleep, but Jia Zheng didn't want to enter the main room.

Mrs. Wang heard the movement and asked softly, "Zheng'er, are you back? I'm about to fall asleep!"
