Chapter 6

The surname of Xie, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, is Ruchun.It was the house that Mrs. Jiang wanted to take Mingyu to visit on the day the old lady fell ill.This Xie family can be regarded as the No. 1 prominent family in Jiangzhou.The ancestor left his hometown of Jiangzhou in troubled times, and followed Taizu in the Southern and Northern Wars and made great contributions to the founding of the country.Taizu bestowed the hereditary first-class General Zhaowu Rongfeng, and granted a county.In this generation, the eldest family was granted a title and still stayed in Beijing, while Xie Ruchun, the second wife of the Xie family, sought the post of magistrate and moved his family back to Jiangzhou.

Although the Ruan family is white, they have run the business in Jiangzhou for several generations. They are philanthropic and have a very high reputation. Moreover, the wife of the head of the magistrate's mansion is the cousin of Ming Yu's grandfather Jiang Kui, and Jiang's is the same. Distant cousins.Therefore, although there are some differences between the two families, they have often communicated with each other in recent years.When Xie Ruchun heard that Mr. Li had deliberately delayed Mrs. Ruan's condition to the point where she is now in order to charge more consultation fees, how could he be polite, and ordered someone to beat her hard and put her in prison.

Not to mention Li Langzhong's suffering due to his short-term bad reputation, but it is said that the Ruan family in Rongyin Hall is in chaos because of this sudden change.The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day, all the invitations have been sent out early, and all the preparations have been made early, just wait until the day arrives, and the old lady Ruan will sit in the lobby and be congratulated and bowed down by the juniors in the ceremony robe of the Longevity Mission.Now this birthday star has become so sick, why not make people mess up?

Ming Yu had long heard that Li Langzhong first reduced the dose of the medicine in secret, and then applied the powerful medicine of tiger and wolf, plus what he had done in the first few days, this made the old lady so unable to get up.Although the initial wish was fulfilled by accident, there was no joy in my heart, only feeling heavy.If it wasn't for a rebirth, knowing the tragic end of Rongyintang ten years later, how could she have such an idea on her grandmother's head?
In the afternoon, Ming Yu and Jiang's family finished serving the old lady in the Suixi Garden. Seeing that she had taken the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep due to the effects of the medicine. The mother and daughter were sent outside the gate of the garden by Mother Rong.

"Ayu, you have worked hard these days. You are so tired that your chin is sharp. Mother will take you home. You should rest early at night, so you don't have to come here tomorrow."

Jiang stroked Ming Yu's hair affectionately, and said softly.

Ming Yu hummed, took advantage of the situation and took Jiang's hand, and while walking slowly on the road leading to Yilulou, said: "Mother, seeing how grandma is now, she will definitely not be able to show her face on her birthday in the future. .The purpose of celebrating birthday is to celebrate good fortune, and the birthday star can't get up anymore. If Dad still keeps the original arrangement, I'm afraid people will criticize him behind his back."

Jiang sighed: "It's not that the parents you mentioned didn't think about it. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and now it's on the line again. It seems that your father means that the old lady's body is the most important thing. It's just that some of your uncles said that the old lady started It doesn't matter if you die. In the day after tomorrow, it will be the same outside, and all the descendants of the Ruan family will come to the old lady's house and kneel down to her through the door to celebrate her birthday. I am a little undecided."

Ming Yu shook her head and said, "Mother, Doctor Sun has already said that grandma must lie down to recuperate from her illness. A lot of people are making noise outside her door, and grandma is disturbed. How can she calm down? Father puts grandma's health first. The idea is the truth. It's not that mother doesn't know that some of my family have relied on the big tree of Rongyin Hall these years, and have done countless things that have been talked about behind their backs. It's because of my father that they haven't been criticized It's on the table. Now that they are so insane, nine out of ten are just trying to take advantage of grandma's birthday. How can they really think about our family? My daughter has an idea, I don't know if I should It should be said."

Ruan Hongsheng was in trouble in the previous life, and these family members attached to Rongyintang, the talented and beautiful horses, were afraid of being implicated, and they all hid from the trace, wishing to erase the Ruan surname from their heads.The emperor just stared at Ruan Hongsheng and his Rongyin Hall, and ignored these people, so the Ruan family was in trouble, but they all got well in the end.Although it is common sense for people to seek self-preservation when trees fall and monkeys scatter, but after experiencing that heartbreak, it is really impossible for Ming Yu to be as kind to them as before.

"tell me the story."

"Grandma's health is not right, it has been spread. So I posted another post with an apology, and told those who received the post that I would cancel the birthday celebration in the future. Grandma's health is the most important thing, I want to come No one will blame my family for this. It's just that the [-]th birthday is only once in a lifetime. It's not good to let it go like this. Why don't you ask Dad to set up a shop in the nursery hall to pray for grandma's virtues and use the money that was originally used for the birthday banquet? The budget is converted into money and rice, and anyone in the city who is willing can come to receive rice and money, isn't this better than throwing a big feast regardless of grandma's health?"
After Ming Yu finished speaking, she looked carefully at Jiang Shi.Seeing her eyes light up slightly, she pondered for a moment and said, "It's a good idea. When your father comes back tonight, I'll discuss it with him."

Ming Yu's heart widened, and he said with a smile, "If Mother feels better, just say a few words to Dad, and Dad will definitely feel better too."

Jiang stretched out her fingertips and tapped her forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "You girl, you couldn't see it before, but now you look even more ghostly, even my mother dares to make fun of it. I will find someone in two years. Come on, show me some dignity in front of people."

Although Ming Yu is actually twenty, if her fate was good in the last life, she would have been the child's mother long ago, but now she is a delicate daughter next to her mother, and the kind of affection like a real child is even stronger than in the previous life. The coming became more and more intense, at this time, Jiang Shi laughed and said a few words, but he held her arms tighter, and smiled: "I don't want to marry, I just want to be with my parents for the rest of my life."

Ming Yu's words are not hypocritical, but the true wish in her heart now.Jiang Shi didn't know, shook his head and smiled, "Silly Ayu, is there any girl who doesn't marry? I'm afraid that in a few years, when Ayu is born and becomes a big girl, you won't even want to keep you longer... ..."

Jiang's was just joking, but he just hit the scene of Ming Yu's previous life.Being drawn out of the past, thinking about it now, I just wonder why I had the courage to fly like moths to a flame.Sighing secretly, not wanting to think about it any more, he hastily changed the subject, chatting and laughing with Jiang Shi, and realized that the Yilu Building had already arrived, Jiang Shi personally sent her back upstairs, and then took the girl away. go.

In the evening Ruan Hongtian came to Jiang's room.There was no need for the girl to do anything, Jiang personally took off the outer clothes for him, changed into a soft round-neck casual suit he was used to wearing, and presented him with strong Wulin Longjing lotus heart tea.Ruan Hongtian sat down and took a sip, and saw that Jiang was only wearing a homely light purple embroidered thin cotton shirt, a pair of jasper and silver silk earrings, and a few strands of black hair hanging from a bun were pasted on the exposed neck. , It becomes more and more snowy and creamy.Remembering that since the old lady got sick, she has been serving with all her heart in Suixi Garden, and received a lot of cold words from her old lady, so she took her into his arms and forced her to sit on his lap.

Jiang shi struggled a little, and seeing her husband didn't let go, she complained, "What is this for? My daughter is so grown up, it's a joke."

"Whoever dares to make a joke, I will let him pack up and walk..."

Ruan Hongtian made fun of her words, lowered his head slightly, and saw that her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, her brows and eyes seemed to be dripping water, and her hands hugged her soft waist more tightly, forcing her to stick to him , smelled the faint fragrance from her neck, and then sighed slightly: "I have worked hard for you these days, I know you have suffered a lot of grievances. I have already said that I will take you to Wuling Mountain to pray for Buddha. It's a little farther away, but I heard that it is very effective there. But it has been delayed for a long time, and I will definitely take you there after the mess has passed. If you are sincere, you will not need to ask for a son. Being so angry with my mother."

Jiang's eyes were slightly hot when he was talking about the central matter, and he said sourly: "I can't give birth to a son, so there is no reason to stop you from taking a concubine. After a while, just bring anyone you like into the house ,I……"

She was just saying angry words in front of her husband, but when she said this, she was really saddened, and she couldn't speak the following words, and the tears had already flowed down.

Ruan Hongtian felt distressed when he saw his wife's pear blossoms in the rain, so he hurriedly reached out to wipe it off, and whispered in her ear: "We have been husband and wife for ten years, but when I see you now, I always feel that you are the first in the bridal chamber. Once I picked up your red hijab and saw the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old. When I go out to socialize, it is inevitable that there will be some fans sitting beside me, but have you ever seen me messing around? It is not impossible for you to have children, The last time I invited an imperial doctor to see you, it doesn't mean that you are all right, but that you are a little irritable. You should be relieved, and you are afraid that you will not have a son in the future..."

Hearing her husband's soft words of persuasion, Jiang felt a little more at ease.But he also knew that he was not in a hurry to have a son, and it was really embarrassing to be pushed and beaten by the old lady every day.In the past, when he didn't open his mouth, he was considerate of himself, and never said a word about taking a concubine in front of her.Now if he let go, he would not really refuse.Gritting her teeth, she was about to mention Du Ruoqiu, whom she had a crush on, when she suddenly remembered the dream her daughter had told her that day.Although I dare not think that it is true, I always have a little luck in my heart.If Tianjianpoi really had a son as her daughter dreamed, the old lady would surely calm down a bit in the future.Even if he still has the intention of stuffing people into this room, as long as his husband's heart is with him, no matter how hard he tosses, then he will have more confidence.

Jiang shi hesitated for a moment, but finally he was unwilling to bring up the matter of taking concubines.Ruan Hongtian didn't know the twists and turns in her heart. Seeing her startled, he patted her face lightly. When Jiang recovered his senses, he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "What will happen to my mother's birthday in the future? You Is it settled?"

When Ruan Hongtian was asked about his troubles, he frowned and said, "Several senior uncles in the family all said the same sentence, and you know that. I thought I should follow their wishes. Both the left and the right are already prepared." .”

Jiang Shi shook his head and said: "Mother needs to get up easily today, but she was dizzy when she just got into the bed, if it wasn't for me and Rong's mother falling to the ground as soon as I grabbed my hands, it would be better to lie down."

Ruan Hongtian was shocked, and the Jiang family said again: "In my opinion, the mother's body is the most important thing. The left and right mothers themselves said that day that they don't want such things on the table. Our family has been in Jiangzhou for more than 100 years. Who doesn't know Rong Yin's body? There is no need to use these red tapes to decorate the facade."

"It's just that sixty is a big birthday, if it passes like this..."

Ruan Hongtian was still a little hesitant looking at it.

"Ayu made an idea, and I think it's good." Seeing her husband raising his eyebrows and looking at him, Jiang repeated Ming Yu's suggestion and added, "Apart from this, I will use my mother's name to go to the house again." Donating incense money in various temples is a good thing to pray for blessings and accumulate virtue. The Buddha has a spirit, and he will definitely protect our Ruan family. It is better than holding a big banquet regardless of mother's body, and making people talk behind their backs. And those who shouted The one who shouted the loudest when organizing a birthday banquet is inevitably not trying to take advantage of it. I know that you don’t care about such a small amount of money, and because you are all from the same grandfather’s family, you can’t hold back that Save face. Money is a trivial matter, I'm afraid those people will make money, and instead of saying that you don't care about them, they will laugh at us behind our backs for being stupid."

Ruan Hongtian pondered for a moment, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I never thought about what you said. That's fine. I didn't expect that your mother and I would give me a good idea. The old lady lived her life like this, and she has not fallen. It's a good thing to accumulate virtue for my Ruan family. It's been two days, and since it's settled, I'll tell the housekeeper to prepare it."

Seeing that her husband listened to her words, Jiang was also happy in her heart, stood up from his lap and said: "So I will also write another post to the wives who have received the post before, and prepare an apology along the way." , I’m afraid some people will be busy at night.”

"Thank you Madam." Ruan Hongtian said with a smile, touched her greasy face, and was dodged away.Seeing that although she had given birth to a daughter, there was still a shyness like a seventeen-year-old girl in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, so her heart moved, and she whispered something in her ear, Jiang's face flushed slightly, and she spat lightly He took a bite.Complacent, Ruan Hongtian laughed, and then hurried out.
