Jinxin

Chapter 1 Miscarriage
After eating a bowl of soup and medicine, a strong bitter taste was left in her mouth. The little maid, Bi Qiu, took the medicine bowl from Ruan Yunsi's hand and put it on the table, and helped her to lie down again, then tucked the corner of the quilt, and said courteously : "Although it's spring now, this miscarriage is not a joke. Fortunately, our family is not as it used to be. The bedding and medicine are all available. The old lady and the young master have invited famous people in the city When the doctor comes, grandma will be relieved."

Ruan Yunsi closed her eyes, as if she was too lazy to respond to the servant girl's attention, she just said "um", Bi Qiu saw that she looked a little lazy, so she picked up the medicine bowl and quietly backed out.

But when he was passing by the upper room, he was called in by his wife Liu, and she asked in a deep voice: "How is your grandma's situation now? Be careful and take care of her, although our family is not a wealthy businessman or nobleman like others, But as long as you do your best, there will still be rewards.”

Bi Qiu hurriedly blessed Fu and thanked her, then said with a smile: "I see that grandma is fine now, and in two days, I think she will be able to get out of bed and walk around. Will she be fine in the future? Madam Do not worry."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and asked Bi Qiu to go out. She was in a daze for a while, then Fang stood up and went into the back room, and said to the old lady sitting on the kang, "Mother, just now Bi Qiu came over and said that there is no serious problem with the daughter-in-law. I guess, in two or three days, I will be able to get out of bed and walk, you see..." There seemed to be a bit of embarrassment on her face.

The old lady glanced at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Xin'er is now a Juren, and she should have two concubines by her side. I know what you want to say, yes, that day our family went from a poor family to a With my current status, it is thanks to my daughter-in-law who used her own money to help Xin’er get into Juren. It’s just that after she married in, we didn’t treat her badly. Although our family was poor at that time, Xin’er already had some good qualities. She is a woman of unknown origin, and we are willing to take her in and let Xin'er marry her. Isn't this a kindness? What's more, it's not about sending her down, but just giving Xin'er another It's all about taking two concubines. If she is sensible, we shouldn't talk about this matter, she should just talk about it herself. Now I feel sorry for her miscarriage, and I am afraid that I will be weak, so I personally arrange this matter for Xin'er. You should be grateful, why would you be annoyed? It's all your overthinking."

Mrs. Liu respectfully said: "Yes, although the daughter-in-law has a slim body, she is not a good-looking figure. She and Xin'er had a child after three years of marriage, but she had a miscarriage. It can be seen that our Zhang family's incense can't rely on her alone. I just feel that she seems to be quite strong on weekdays, and I'm afraid that if she hears this, even if she doesn't say it on the face, she will be annoyed in her heart. Now hearing what mother said, I feel relieved."

The old lady Zhang nodded, and said with a smile: "You are still young, but you are still mistaken. Why do you think I made the decision to let Xin'er marry her that day? You still opposed it at that time. If it's you, you don't know how many famines you want to fight with me." Before finishing the sentence, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Yes, at that time, the daughter-in-law was young and ignorant. How can an old lady have more experience? It's just that the daughter-in-law was also worried at the time. Her origin is unknown, if it is a concubine of a rich businessman who escapes, it will be difficult to say. Is the daughter-in-law afraid of hurting our family?"

The old lady Zhang smiled and said: "Your worry is not unreasonable. Don't you think I don't have this kind of worry? It's just that her demeanor is calm and undisturbed, and her appearance is second to none, but it is the nobleness of her gestures." Elegance cannot be ignored. After thinking about it, I felt that this girl must have run away from some wealthy and powerful family, but she was not a down-and-out daughter. My son is on the rise. Who knows that she can bear it, and she refuses to reveal her identity until now, so I gave up, thinking that she probably had a complete falling out with her natal family. It's okay, she finally didn't hide her secrets , took out my own money, and finally helped Xin'er win this juren. On this point, let alone you, I also remember her kindness in my heart. It's just a matter of the Zhang family's branching and spreading, how can I let it go What does she pay attention to about being a couple for the rest of her life? Since she is a young lady, she must be open-minded in this respect. Our Zhang family has been passed down for several generations, and finally we have reached Xiner's generation. Isn't it better to have more wives and concubines, and to have some sons and daughters to have fun with each other?"

What she said made Mrs. Liu smile, and the initial anxiety in her heart was gone, she stood up and said: "In that case, the daughter-in-law will invite the matchmaker Liu from the east of the city to come over tomorrow, she told me last time Xin'er's high school promotion this time, maybe he will be able to win another Jinshi this fall. By then, such a young and promising person, isn't he proud of his spring breeze? Therefore, there are several big families who are interested in marrying us. Willing."

The old lady Zhang laughed and said, "Isn't this good? They are smart and know how to rush over now. If Xiner wins Jinshi, even if they break through the threshold, we will look down on them at that time. It's okay, you can make arrangements, anyway, it's just two concubines, so don't be too picky."

Liu then went out with a smile.

************************
After the peach and apricot trees are in bloom, the weather gradually warms up.

Ruan Yunsi walked back and forth in the yard of her own peach and apricot tree, watching the petals being blown off by the breeze, while smiling at Bi Qiu beside her: "I have been lying in the house for more than a month, and I only put my original The sober mind is also lying in a drowsy state, and now I can finally come out for a walk, just to catch up with the blooming flowers, which is a few good things to see."

Bi Qiu laughed and said, "Grandma said that, but what are these peach and apricot blossoms in the yard? Tell the slaves to say, it's better to go to the back garden, where there are many trees and a gazebo."

Ruan Yunsi glanced at her, shook her head and said with a smile: "I really don't see the world, I just think that there are many trees is good. But I don't know that the back garden is a famous garden, but how can it compare with the real garden? There is no water, no flowers, no lakes, curved bridges, water pavilions and singing platforms. There are only two pavilions and dozens of flowering trees. Can this be called a garden? In my opinion, it is better to have a few trees in this courtyard. Although less, it always has the fun of the word "natural."

Bi Qiu wondered: "I heard from grandma that our garden is not good, but didn't grandma really praise you when it was built? It is said that although the garden is small, you can see the big picture. You can't do it unless you have big hills and valleys in your chest. This servant remembers that the master was really happy at that time."

Ruan Yunsi curled her lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held back immediately, and said seriously: "Of course, my master has a lot of hills and valleys in his heart, but he has never seen those gardens with small bridges and flowing water in real rich people's homes. Naturally, it's worse, not to mention that the family has limited money, so it's rare to be able to do this."

Biqiu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered: "Although the master is good, now he is raising people again, but the slaves always think that grandma is better, it's not that slaves are talkative, if grandma is replaced by those rich girls and grandmas Who doesn’t regard you as a god-like figure in your clothes and jewelry? The servants also passed through some houses in the early years, and those ladies and ladies from rich families don’t have the charm of grandma.”

The young lady of everyone?Ruan Yunsi's memories flew to an unknown place in an instant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: Of course she did it as the daughter of the Hou Fu, but what's the point?Bi Qiu only saw his head full of pearls and emerald clothes and his temples, how did she know about those plots and plots behind the scenes?Born in the Hou family, one carelessness would lead to the end of being smashed to pieces.If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't be determined to run away from home and cause such a big disturbance.

"Grandma, grandma..." Bi Qiu's voice brought Ruan Yunsi back to her thoughts. She looked back at her confidant girl, and said softly, "What's the matter? You have been with me for two years, why are you still like this?" What are you talking about?"

"Grandma, that person just now..." Bi Qiu's complexion was a little pale, he glanced at Ruan Yunsi hesitantly, but then mumbled and stopped speaking, as if she was afraid of something.

Ruan Yunsi frowned, and said coldly: "Just say what you have, what are you afraid of? Don't forget, you are my girl." In the last sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone, and sure enough, Bi Qiu's complexion changed Pale for a while, then bowed his head and said: "Grandma, did you see the figure who just walked past the door? The servant looked at it, but...it looked like the matchmaker on the front street, but maybe the servant was dazzled." maybe."

"What matchmaker?" Ruan Yunsi stood up suddenly, and after a long time, she sat down slowly again, and said with a sneer: "The poor scholar has become a juren, and now I have a miscarriage, I am afraid that the mother-in-law and the old lady will have a farewell mind."

Bi Qiu hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be angry, you just have a miscarriage, you can't help being angry. Ask the slaves to say that the young master is still obedient to grandma, as long as the young master doesn't allow this kind of thing to happen, grandma doesn't have to show up, so as not to lose one Jealous of the title, why bother?"

Ruan Yunsi didn't make a sound for a while, then suddenly looked at Bi Qiu and said, "Do you think Master can be trusted?"

"If you can be reliable, you can be reliable." Bi Qiu hurriedly said, but Ruan Yunsi sighed sadly: "If it was in the past, I would know that he is reliable. It's just that after winning Juren, he has gradually become more social. I'm afraid that the warm wind will make the tourists drunk, and mistake the brothel for the embroidery building." She changed the poem, the brothel is the place where the fireworks girls live, and the embroidery building is the place where the daughter's innocence is. Nature cannot be confused.

"Grandma." Bi Qiu looked at Ruan Yunsi worriedly, but she stood up and said softly, "Forget it, I'm a little tired, Bi Qiu, help me back to my room."
