After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1001: One Thousand Chapters and One Chapter: Face-to-face Instructions
Ma took advantage of the free time on the way home to teach her granddaughter Haitang many tips on how to control her husband. Haitang actually found several of them familiar, as if she had seen her grandmother use them on her grandfather in the past.

Thinking about how my grandparents are still as loving as ever even at their old age, could it be that these secrets of my grandmother are really effective?

Haitang then secretly took note of what her grandmother taught her. Regardless of whether she agreed with these so-called "husband-controlling techniques" in her heart, it was always a good idea to write them down first, and then decide whether to use them or not depending on the situation in the future.

When they got home, Haitang and Ma had just entered the main gate and hadn't even reached the main courtyard when they saw Jin Jiashu running out from the side room. He greeted Ma with a happy face, "Grandma Hai and Sister Hai are back? Did your outing go smoothly today? It's cold outside, Grandma Hai, please take care of yourself."

Haitang couldn't help showing a surprised expression, wondering why Jin Jiashu came? They didn't receive his visiting card before they left in the morning, which showed that he decided to come at the last minute. Could something have happened?
Before Haitang could ask, Ma spoke first: "Why is Xiaojin here today? Why didn't you tell me earlier? We went to visit my elder sister and got home only now. If I had known you were coming, I would not have gone out."

Jin Jiashu said hurriedly, "Mrs. Hai, you are too kind. I am here to teach the teachers and receive their guidance. I am not here as a formal guest. You don't have to be so polite. I heard that Mrs. Zhou Wu was not feeling well. I wonder if she is feeling better now?"

"What's wrong with her? She's fine!" Ma answered casually, and then advised him, "Although academic studies are important, your health is not well yet. You should rest and recuperate, and don't just focus on your homework. I know you are preparing for the Enke County Examination next year, so I hope that you can fight for it and get back the Juren title you lost in last year's county examination. But no matter how important academic achievements are, they are not as important as your health. If you are not in good health, you will have to spend energy on academic studies, delaying your recovery, and eventually ruining your body. Even if you pass the exam, it will not be worth the loss. But if you take care of your health first and then concentrate on your studies, you will not only be able to concentrate on studying, but also be able to get through it more easily in the future when you are in the examination room. You are still young. Even if you miss the Enke County Examination next year, there will be the Zhengke County Examination the year after. What's the hurry? You should look ahead!"

Jin Jiashu knew that she was trying to persuade him with good intentions. Although he had already made plans in his mind, he still listened to her respectfully and thanked her solemnly: "Thank you, Grandma Hai, for your concern and teachings. Don't worry, I will not delay my recovery. The teachers also advised me just now that no matter how anxious I am about my homework, I must not neglect sleep and food and ruin my health, otherwise they will definitely not let me take part in the provincial examination next year. Today I sent my homework here, hoping that the teachers would assign me new homework. Teacher Xie only lent me a few books and asked me to take them back and read them slowly, to learn the good literary style and good use of allusions in the famous articles in the capital, but did not ask me to recite any books or write any articles."

Ma smiled and said, "This is a good gentleman who really cares about you. Since the gentlemen have given you the order, you should obey them and don't tire yourself out."

Jin Jiashu responded, and then said, "I have promised the teachers that I will definitely be obedient." After thinking for a while, he added, "I have taken medicine from the Imperial Hospital, and now I feel much better. I will be fully recovered soon. Grandma Hai, please don't worry about me."

Ma sighed, "I don't want to worry about you. But you're about to become my granddaughter's husband. If anything happens to you, what will we do? Even for my granddaughter, I hope you can live a long and healthy life!"

Jin Jiashu blushed and secretly looked up at Haitang: "Don't worry, Grandma Hai, even if it's not for myself, just for Sister Hai, I will recover as soon as possible and will never drag others down!"

Haitang felt her cheeks getting hot after hearing this, and she coughed lightly, "It's windy in the yard, Brother Jin, please go back inside quickly, don't stay outside in the cold wind, or you might catch a cold."

Ma was awakened by her granddaughter's words: "Yes, Xiao Jin, hurry up and go inside, it's warm inside." Jin Jiashu came to the Hai family early in the morning, but unfortunately he met the Hai family's grandparents and grandchildren who were out for a visit. After listening to the teachers' admonitions, he could have said goodbye and went home to read, but he had to stay here, wasn't it just to wait for Haitang to come back, to see her, and to talk again? Now that he finally saw her, he wanted to spend more time with her, preferably to chat alone for an hour or so, how could he bear to go back to the house?

He looked at Haitang eagerly and said, "I'm not cold. I'm dressed warmly."

He had just come out of the warm wing room. He was in a hurry and didn't even put on a big windproof coat. He was able to stand in the yard and talk to Ma and Haitang for a long time without any problem. Thanks to the effective antidote from Haitang and the powerful tonic from the Imperial Hospital, he had a relatively strong body to withstand the cold wind in the capital in the cold winter. But this kind of thing can't last long. Haitang knew it in her heart. She said with a serious face: "Brother Jin, go back to the room. We can talk later. Don't get caught in the wind and get sick. You won't be able to go out later." If Empress Dowager Xu in the palace knew about it, she might make a fuss.

Jin Jiashu heard the warning in Haitang's words. Although he was still reluctant, he nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll go back to the house first, and then I'll go to the upper room in the main courtyard to pay my respects to Grandma Hai."

Ma smiled and said, "Okay, Grandma Hai is waiting for you. It's almost time for lunch, so you can just stay home and have your meal. I'll invite you to talk after we go back to the house and change our clothes."

After the two sides said goodbye temporarily, Haitang followed her grandmother back to the main courtyard. When she entered the door, she could still feel someone staring at her from behind, so she turned back and gave Jin Jiashu a glare, signaling him to hurry in. If she dragged her feet and the hair dryer really had problems, she would be really annoyed in a while.

Jin Jiashu understood her hint and quickly went back to his room. He was actually very careful when it came to his health and life span. The warmth in his body was gradually dissipating, and he should really go back to his room, otherwise if he really got sick, it would not be fun. What if the "aunt" in the palace thought that he didn't know how to take care of himself and sent a nanny? He didn't want to have another half-elder to control him after he became the head of the family.

Haitang was relieved only when she saw Jin Jiashu return to the side room, and she followed her grandmother back to the upper room in the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Ma told her, "Go back to your room and change into some nice home clothes. What color does Xiao Jin like? Remember to dress up nicely."

Haitang blinked: "Ah?" She was a little unresponsive.

Ma said angrily, "Didn't you understand? Girl, you always speak so clearly about how to live after getting married, but why are you so dull when it comes to practical matters? I just taught you for a long time how to get along with your husband. The most important thing is that you have to make him like you and let him put you at the top of his heart! Today he came here specially and talked about homework with your cousin and his uncle and refused to leave. Wasn't it just to see you? Of course you have to get along well with him and talk to him more intimately. Go back to your room and dress up quickly. Don't drag it out. Come over after you're dressed. I'll take a look and confirm that there is no problem before inviting him over. Then I'll find a reason to leave, and you'll have a chance to talk, right?"

Haitang understood. She didn't expect her grandmother to be so open-minded, so she certainly wouldn't let her down.
