Chapter 47 Uncle
Coming out of the county government office, Hua Rujin was still thinking about things in the house while walking on the way back.

Thinking of the big white snake Hua Youen mentioned, she subconsciously touched the dagger hidden in her bosom.

According to Xiao Douding's description, it's probably not small, maybe it's a big python.

Thinking of this, she went back to Huangliu Lane and bought a big bag of realgar powder.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the house, I heard a familiar voice in my ear: "Cousin."

Hua Rujin turned her head and saw Cousin Ruya sticking her head out of the carriage to greet her.

"Cousin. Why are you here? Today is my grandma's [-]th birthday. Don't you need to stay at the house to entertain guests?"

Hua Rujin looked at him in astonishment.

"I also want to ask why my cousin didn't go there with my little aunt today?"

Shu Jinxuan got off the carriage, showing concern on his face: "How can I feel relieved if you and You En stay at home?"

After saying that, he looked around beside her and asked, "Hey, where is You En?"

"Oh, she went to play in the county government office."

Hua Rujin smiled casually.

"She went to the county government office to play?"

Shu Jinxuan showed a look of disbelief.

Hua Rujin was also afraid that he would ask more questions, so she quickly changed the subject: "What's the matter with my cousin?"

Shu Jinxuan quickly picked someone up from the carriage, and said with a smile: "Cousin, look, who did I bring you?"

Hua Rujin fixed her eyes and saw a middle-aged man with a short stature and a little slow movement, squinting his eyes and looking at himself.

She immediately remembered that this was Shu Jiayan, the original owner's uncle.

In my impression, this uncle loves the original owner the most.

After Shu Jinxuan entered Beijing, the original owner was forced to marry into Dou's family. Shu Jiayan ran to the door of Dou's house and cried all night, almost blinded his eyes from crying, so much so that he can barely see clearly even now. .

"Is uncle still in good health?"

With some respect, Hua Rujin asked kindly.

"Ah, I ate, ate."

Shu Jiayan was a little deaf, his mouth seemed to be covered with phlegm, and he spoke with a strong Jiangling accent.

Hua Rujin couldn't hear clearly, so she moved closer and said casually: "Our family is doing well."

Listening to the conversation between the old and the young, Shu Jinxuan couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

Shu Jiayan slowly took out a bag of pastries from his arms and stuffed them into Hua Rujin's hands, faltering and saying: "Shoushou cake, my uncle brought it to you, Rujin, why don't you visit me at home?"

Hearing this, Hua Rujin fell into a brief silence.

She glanced at Shu Jinxuan calmly, opened the courtyard door, and led the father and son into the courtyard.

Shu Jinxuan smelled a pungent smell, glanced at the things in her hand, and asked quickly, "Cousin, why did you buy so much realgar powder?"

"If it's a hot day, I'm afraid there will be bugs in the yard, buy some realgar powder to repel the bugs."

Hua Rujin made a perfunctory sentence, went to the main room to fetch a pot of cool white, opened two cups and handed them to the father and son respectively.

Shu Jinxuan didn't question the realgar powder any more, took a sip of the boiled water, and then made it clear: "Sister-in-law is pregnant, and she has to go back to Beijing to raise her baby when she's settled down. Before leaving, she said she wanted to see her cousin. This time all the families got together, just now my sister-in-law personally asked my grandmother, my father and I made a special trip to pick up your sisters and uncle to attend the dinner."

"Yes, your father and mother didn't go to sit at home when they came back from business. Tonight, I want your father to accompany me to have a good drink. I won't sleep until I get drunk."

Shu Jiayan said with a serious face: "Rujin, you...you also go to the house to play for a few more days, and accompany...accompany your cousin."

Looking at the sincere eyes of the father and son, Hua Rujin couldn't bear to refuse.

It's just that the original host was not familiar with that cousin, she returned to Beijing with Shu Yuchen not long after she married into the Shu family.

Presumably this must be Cousin Ruya's own idea, to invite himself into the mansion in the name of his cousin's sister-in-law.

A few days ago, the old lady of the Shu family specially came to the house to make a fuss. If she really went to the Shu's house today, Tao Shi might have prepared some embarrassment for herself.

Thinking that their father and son were going to pick up Hua Junnian at the pier, Hua Rujin was overjoyed, and hurriedly approached Shu Jiayan and said loudly: "Uncle, my niece has important things to do today, so I won't go, let Ah Father used to accompany you to drink and talk at night by candlelight, and it would not be too late for you to let them come back tomorrow."

Shu Jinxuan knew that her cousin was still brooding over the events of the past few days, so she didn't force her anymore, and pulled Shu Jiayan to stand up.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Cousin, I have bought a lot of books at the book store these days, and I plan to take the exam again in three years."

Hua Rujin nodded her head: "Cousin should work harder, if he can enter the imperial hospital like big cousin, his future will be immeasurable."

"Yeah, I will definitely work harder this time."

Shu Jinxuan was silent for a moment, then said tactfully: "Grandmother said a few days ago that she won't interfere in my marriage when I get fame."

Hua Rujin frowned when she heard this: So it turned out that his merit test was because of his marriage.

"It's good for my cousin to be able to decide on his own affairs, but don't use the wrong thoughts."

Hua Rujin reminded her, and she was afraid that he would continue to discuss their private affairs, so she hurriedly urged: "Cousin and uncle, hurry back, don't delay, there may be a lot of distinguished guests in the house today."

Shu Jinxuan nodded, and looked at her affectionately: "I never miss my mind."

Three years ago, he only thought that his grandmother and the Ye family divorced because of prejudice against the Ye family, and because they were both young, so he went to Beijing to take the exam with confidence, and never thought that soon after entering Beijing, he would find out that his cousin married Leaving the Dou family was a blow to him.

Now that the little uncle's family has been separated from the Hua family, no one will force the cousin to discuss marriage.

Thinking of this, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face: "This time, I don't need to hurry to the capital, I will stay at home and prepare for the exam."

"Your grandmother agreed, saying that your elder brother will not be able to take care of your second elder brother because of the complicated affairs in the palace, so let him stay at home and enter Beijing before the big exam."

While agreeing, Shu Jiayan slowly untied a bag from his waist, and handed it heavily to Hua Rujin: "This is money my uncle saved, you keep it, and save it to make clothes and buy jewelry."

"Uncle, I have money."

Hua Rujin pushed the bag back into Shu Jiayan's hands, and looked at Shu Jinxuan: "Today the county sent another 50 taels of silver as compensation, and the family has enough money for the time being."

Shu Jin knew that she would not easily accept money from the father and son, so she signaled her father to take back the money.

"Alright, in a few days I will send someone to deliver the medicinal materials."

As soon as Shu Jinxuan finished speaking, Hua Rujin said, "If my cousin really lacks a place to store medicinal materials, these two utility rooms can be reserved for my cousin. As for the work of sorting medicinal materials, my father has gone to the dock now, and my mother also If you don't understand medicine, I'm afraid it won't be of much help."

Moreover, she already has an idea in mind about the future livelihood of Hua Junnian and Cai Baiwei.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement."

Shu Jinxuan's smile became a bit bitter, and she led Shu Jiayan out thoughtfully.

Watching the father and son go away, Hua Rujin returned to the shed, and gradually fell into deep thought as she looked at the bag of realgar powder on the table.
