In the evening of that day, Jia Yun was hosted at Hua's house. Men and women were still separated. Jia Yun, Lao Tongsheng, Hua Zifang and other men sat at a table in the main room, while Xi Ren, Hua Auntie and other female relatives crowded in the bedroom.
A table full.
This time, Jia Yun, the host, deliberately ate slowly and stayed at Hua's house for two quarters of an hour after eating, in order to give Xiren more time to talk to Aunt Hua and Hua Zifang.
It wasn't until night that Jia Yun took Xi Ren back home.
After returning home, the two of them went to the inner courtyard of West Road to greet Bu Wuniang. During the process, Jia Yun noticed that Qingwen looked at him with resentment in her eyes, and realized that this girl must have known that he had been attacked today.
, the benefits of Zijuan’s family, I feel unbalanced...
After saying hello to Bu Wuniang, Jia Yun and Xi Ren returned to the main courtyard. Zijuan was particularly enthusiastic when they saw the two coming back. She took the maids with her to serve not only Jia Yun but also Xi Ren in dressing.
Xiren was a little flattered.
Both Jia Yun and Xiren knew that the reason why Zijuan was so enthusiastic was because Xiren had begged for Zijuan today, so that Zijuan could see her mother and was rewarded with twenty taels of silver.
Under the service of Zicuckoo and the maidservants, Jia Yun and Xiren changed their clothes. At this time, Jia Yun asked Zicuckoo and the two maidservants to leave the five upper rooms, leaving Xiren alone.
Jia Yun was sitting in the upper seat in the open room. Xi Ren stood in front of him. He looked at her for a while and lowered his head shyly.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Sit down."
Only then did Xiren sit near Jia Yun.
Jia Yun smiled and asked: "I went to your home today. How did you feel?"
Xi Ren smiled sweetly: "Of course I'm in a good mood. My wife and the second master arranged for me to be so decent, and the second master personally accompanied me, which made me feel like I was returning home in fine clothes."
"The second master didn't see it with his own eyes. When I gave the forty taels of silver that the second master rewarded to my mother and my brother, they were very happy. They all told me to serve the second master well in the future and not to let him down.
Such a favor to me and our family.”
Jia Yun asked with a smile: "Before dinner, I heard a noise coming from your mother's room in the main room. Why?"
Xiren smiled and said: "Oh, at that time I was giving silver knives to my nieces and nephews. These little girls have never seen anything in the world. When they saw valuable and exquisite silver knives, one by one
I couldn’t help but be happy.”
Jia Yun nodded.
Xiren paused and said, "Second Master, I'm really grateful to you this time for allowing me to gain such dignity."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You have already been in my room, why should you be grateful for this kind of thing? It will be invisible to others."
Xiren's face turned red when he heard this, and he thought quietly in his heart: Although I have been in your room in name for a long time, it has not yet been confirmed that I am in your room.
Xiren said again: "Besides this matter, there is one more thing for which I also want to be grateful to the second master."
Jia Yun was confused: "What else is there?"
Xiren said: "I'm going home today. I heard my mother and my brother tell me that my brother has fallen in love with a girl from a family. This family is also doing business. The situation at home is better than ours. Although the girl is
She is not a beautiful woman, but she is not bad in appearance."
"Just a few days ago, my mother invited a matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage. I thought the matchmaker would not be willing to marry her, but in the end she was willing, mainly because of the second master's dignity."
Jia Yun understood it as soon as she heard it and said with a smile: "I think it's for your dignity, right?"
Xi Ren's face turned red: "Because I am the second master's roommate, and my brother is the second master's befriender, that family is willing. This is not for my dignity, but for the second master's dignity."
Woolen cloth."
Jia Yun smiled and asked: "How is that girl's heart? If she just looks good but has a bad heart, it will be bad if your brother marries her."
Xiren smiled and said: "My mother has met that girl several times and said she has a good heart. My brother also said the same."
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiren said: "By the way, when it comes to my brother's marriage, back then I..."
Halfway through his words, Xiren quickly stopped talking.
Jia Yun wondered: "What happened to you back then?"
Xiren said: "Nothing."
Jia Yun was even more puzzled: "Why did you suddenly become mysterious?"
Xiren smiled and said: "I just thought of something from the past, so I don't want to tell the second master. It's just a trivial matter, so don't ask the second master."
This inconspicuous thing that Xiren calls has something to do with Bu Shiren and his wife.
Back when Jia Yun was still living in the Second Entrance House in Xiaohuazhi Hutong, Bu Shiren and his wife first went back to make trouble in the Second Entrance House. Bu Shiren's wife's rogue behavior really shocked the attackers.
At that time, Xiren was worried about Hua Zifang marrying a daughter-in-law. He was worried that the daughter-in-law Hua Zifang would marry would be like Bu Shiren's wife.
At that time, Xiren planned that since it was inconvenient for her to take care of this kind of thing herself, she could ask Jia Yun to help look after it, because Jia Yun was both a person whom Hua Zifang respected and a friend of Hua Zifang.
However, Xi Ren did not expect that Jia Yun would soon achieve great success in the battle of the palace and be awarded a title. Later, her status became more and more noble and she even opened a mansion.
Therefore, in Xiren's opinion, if the distinguished Jia Yun were to help watch Hua Zifang get married, it would be a loss of Jia Yun's status, so Xiren gave up this idea.
When talking about Hua Zifang's marriage, Xiren thought about it. The reason why he stopped talking mid-sentence was because the matter involved Bu Shiren and his wife, and it was inconvenient for Xiren to tell Jia Yun.
Xiren knew that Bu Shiren and his wife were taboo in Jia Yun's house. Jia Yun hated this couple at first, and the couple was later beheaded because of Jia Yun. Although Bu Wuniang never blamed Jia Yun, she would inevitably feel sad about it sometimes.
After all, Bu Shiren is her biological brother.
Since Xiren was so virtuous, he naturally would not violate the taboo of mentioning Bu Shiren and his wife to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun said: "Your brother is a few years older than me. Now your family's situation has improved. It's time for your brother to get a wife. When does your family plan to get married?"
Xiren smiled and said: "The specific date has not been set yet, but my mother and my brother both thought it would be better to hurry up, lest the woman's family regret it, and plan to get married in the second half of this year."
Jia Yun nodded: "When your brother is getting married, tell me and I will go there myself."
Xiren felt favored again: "Second Master is so noble, there is no need to go."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You are my roommate, and your brother is my friend. How can I not go? But there must be a lot of people in your family that day. I will not stay there for the banquet, just like when I went to give
It's the same as when your father visits his funeral and offers sacrifices. I'll just show my face and send you a congratulatory gift and money."
Unable to help himself, Xi Ren's eyes suddenly became wet.
Today, she received a lot of favors from Jia Yun, which made her really touched. She felt that she had gone from being a little maid who was sold to Rongguo Mansion because her family was poor, to being as blessed as she is today.
It's really good luck.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You said it well, why did you cry suddenly?"
Unable to control himself, Xiren mustered up his courage, suppressed his shyness, stood up and walked to Jia Yun, then sat on Jia Yun's lap with a blushing face, nestled his head in Jia Yun's arms, and said softly: "
Second Master, I am so happy to meet you, be your roommate, and be loved and loved by you so much!"
Jia Yun was a little stunned.
Xi Ren's current behavior was nothing short of normal in Jia Yun's previous life. In that era, it was common for couples to kiss in public.
But in this era, Xiren's current actions are bold, and Xiren is not a coward, but a virtuous and polite person, so it shows that she really loves Jia Yun now and admires Jia Yun very much.
.
After being stunned for a moment, Jia Yun reached out and hugged Xiren.
Just at this moment, Qingwen suddenly "barged in". After seeing the scene in the bright room, her first reaction was to be stunned, and then she said "oh" and hurriedly turned around and walked away.
Xiren stood up from Jia Yun's arms in a panic, not daring to look at Jia Yun anymore, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the outside of the bright room.
Jia Yun: "..."
After reacting, Jia Yun shouted: "Call Qingwen's little hooves in!"
Xiren turned around to look at Jia Yun in embarrassment, said "yes" behind Jia Yun's back, and walked out of the bright room.
After a while, Qingwen walked in with a blushing face. Before Jia Yun opened her mouth, Qingwen took the lead and said, "Aren't the second master and sister Xiren ashamed? They started making mischief in the open room."
"
Jia Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "What are we doing? It's just a hug."
Qingwen's face turned even redder; "Second Master is really not ashamed!"
Jia Yun said amusedly: "Your little hooves interrupted the second master's good deeds. I haven't taught you a lesson yet, but you have taught me a lesson first?"
Qingwen: "Bah, bah, bah!"
Jia Yun: "..."
Jia Yun said: "Xi Ren has been in my room for a long time. What's wrong with me hugging her? Do you need your little hooves to teach me a lesson?"
Qingwen: "Bah, bah, bah!"
Jia Yun: "..."
Jia Yun got to the point: "It's already night, why did you come to my place suddenly at this time?"
Qingwen said: "Second Master has the nerve to ask, but I know it. Not only did you personally accompany Xiren's sister's house today, but you also rewarded Xiren's sister's house with forty taels of silver. You also asked Zijuan Ming
When my son saw his mother, he also rewarded her with twenty taels of silver. The second master is so partial, why don't I get a share?"
Jia Yun said: "You brought up this topic first, so don't blame the second master for not feeling sorry for you. Now you don't even remember your parents. You only have an uncle and brother. Your uncle and brother are incompetent. Is it possible that you want to
Let me reward you with dozens of taels of silver to give to your uncle and brother?"
Qingwen said: "Second Master doesn't need to reward my uncle and brother, you can reward me directly. I'm not greedy, and I don't want you forty taels of silver. Just like Zicuckoo, Second Master will reward me with twenty taels.
I'm satisfied."
Jia Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, Xi Ren and Zicuckoo are both my roommates, that's why I will receive this reward. You can also be my roommates."
Qingwen: "..."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "If you are willing, I will give you a favor tonight. Let alone twenty taels and forty taels. I will reward you sixty taels tomorrow. How about it?"
