Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 179 Extra Story [-]: Miss Jin San
The Jin family declined when Lord Jin was evacuated. Those days of decline were the most difficult time for the Jin family in decades. Jin Xiangrong was born at that time.

Although life is not difficult compared to ordinary families, in the officialdom, the Jin family was down and out at that time, and several masters of the Jin family had just emerged in the officialdom for a few years. When Jin Xiangrong was young, the most impressive thing was to go to Her grandfather's family will also be squeezed out by older children in her grandfather's family. The five or six-year-old children have learned how to read faces and how to unite with others to run and endure.

Jin Xiangrong, who grew up in such an environment, did not envy the lives of his brothers and sisters in his grandfather's family. Instead, he developed sympathy for the poor and sympathized with the suffering people. When he was young, he knew how to use the money he saved to give relief. other people.

A few years after the Jin family disappeared, the elder of the Jin family was appreciated by the emperor with his outstanding political achievements, and the Jin family flourished again. When the elder of the Jin family gained power, he would naturally promote his two younger brothers, Master Jin San, Jin Xiangrong's father Although they couldn't compare to the two elder brothers in the officialdom, their lives were much better, especially when they went to their grandfather's house again, the attitudes of others changed significantly.

A few years later, when Jin Xiangrong was in her teens, Mrs. Jin would often take her to various occasions. Jin Xiangrong was gentle and tall, and she was very popular with the wives present.

In the Golden Mansion, the servants praised the most, that is, the third lady, who is kind and has a good temper. It is lucky to be able to serve in the third lady's yard.

The Jin family's mansion that flourished in its heyday has not been replaced, but has been repaired again inside and out, especially the outer courtyard. The wages are not low either.

In hot summer, she was very tired from working, and Jin Xiangrong often sent people to deliver some water to the workers in the outer courtyard. Although she had never appeared in front of these people from some hot soup, she always came back from outside and passed by the outer courtyard. You will hear people thanking her.

As long as she looked up, she could see the person who was repairing the pavilion not far away, just nodded her head and took a quick glance, and she went back to the inner courtyard.

This year, Jin Xiangrong was 13 years old, and she often went in and out of the mansion to look over the accounts at the cloth village that Mrs. Jin San entrusted her to take care of, so she often passed the outer courtyard.

Occasionally, she walked closer and wanted to see the repairs of the outer courtyard. She stood under the intact pavilion and looked at it. A piece of wood hanging above her head did not know whether it was loose or not fixed at all. After a while, it fell straight towards Jin Xiangrong.

It took a long time for the maid serving beside her to react, and when she realized, Jin Xiangrong had already been thrown down, and the wooden plank hit the man's back directly.

The steward nearby hurried over, and the maid rushed over to push the long-term worker away to help Jin Xiangrong up, but the long-term worker turned pale and pushed himself back to the side. Only then did he realize that the plank was still on his back, and it didn't fall off because he stood up.

The long-term worker had already yelled, "Ahe, you are injured!"

The few nails on the wooden board were all inserted into the back of this long-term worker named Ah He, so deep that the wooden board could not fall off.

Jin Xiangrong was also pale with fright, if it hit her, wouldn't she be hurt more seriously, just about to ask the long-term worker, but only saw him turn around and walk down the pavilion, supported by several long-term workers Leave without saying a word.

"Miss, are you alright, Biyu will help you go back." Seeing her dazed look, the maid at the side thought she was frightened, and helped her to go back to the inner courtyard.

"I'm fine." Jin Xiangrong shook her head and looked away. She heard someone shout just now, his name is Ah He
Mrs. Jin San soon found out about this, and rushed over to see her daughter. Seeing that she was still intact, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and told her, "There is no danger, don't get close to that next time, those pavilions It has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are many problems."

"Mother, I don't know what happened to the long-term worker who saved me." Jin Xiangrong was fine, but others were seriously injured to save her.

Mrs. Jin San's expression was slightly displeased, and she took her hand and taught, "Mother has already sent someone to send money and medicine to him, and also sent someone to invite a doctor for him. He deserves a reward for saving you, but Rong'er, that's a servant." How can you throw your own daughter to the ground, with so many eyes watching, it's really impolite.

"Mother, he saved me. Otherwise, my daughter would be hurt at least, and at worst, her face would be ruined. Why are you still saying this?" Jin Xiangrong frowned and said in disapproval when he heard the strong disgust. .

"Okay, I saved you, and my mother will reward you. You are not allowed to go there again, and don't go out during this time. Mother will go to the temple and ask you for a talisman." Mrs. Jin San is familiar with her daughter's temper. , and don't argue with her about this, just obey her first, "You have a good rest."

Jin Xiangrong was still worried about the seriousness of the long-term worker's injury, and sent someone to inquire secretly, but found that his mother had only invited a doctor for him once, and the injury would take at least a few days to heal, so one patch or two of medicine would not be enough. , and the rewarded silver, in the end, was not even a few taels in his hands.

Jin Xiangrong immediately sent someone to invite a doctor to see him, and sent someone to send 20 taels of silver, but the money was returned the next day, and Biyu said that the long-term worker refused to accept it.

That night, Jin Xiangrong, who has always been gentle and obedient, took advantage of the late night, changed her clothes and took her maid to sneak to the place where the former dean lived. When she found the room where Ah He was recovering, she opened the door and frowned. .

She clearly ordered people to take good care of her, even if it was an ordinary injury, she shouldn't be treated like this, let alone he saved herself.

The servants are also divided into three or six, and this kind of long-term labor is the lowest, the wages are the least, and the hardest work is done, so the silver decoction sent from the inner courtyard goes down from level to level, and finally There is nothing left.

This long-term worker named Ahe continued to work after being injured, because he couldn't delay the progress, and he couldn't stop making money. If he lay down all the time, he would be fired directly. They are all recruited by the steward.

Jin Xiangrong dressed up as a maid and went in, Ah He was the only one in the room, he recognized her at a glance, and wondered what the young miss was doing here, Jin Xiangrong saw that he was going to get up and let him lie down quickly, and Biyu took the medicine Take it out, and apologized, "You were injured and the Jin family hasn't healed your injury well. You keep this medicine, it's good for the wound. Don't go to work these days, or the injury won't heal."

Saving people is out of instinct. Ah He happened to see it when he was passing by the pavilion while carrying something, and he rescued him. He never thought that the third lady of the Jin family would come to see him, and she gave money to him before. It was a bit unexpected, so she got up to thank him , "Thank you, Miss San, for your concern. It's getting late, and the road to the outer courtyard is difficult. Miss San should go back earlier."

Jin Xiangrong's expression changed slightly, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She also knew that it would be very abrupt to come here. Besides, in the dead of night, it was really impolite for a girl like her to show up like this. If he brought it up again, Jin Xiangrong felt even more uncomfortable.

"Then you take care of your wounds." Jin Xiangrong left the outer courtyard almost as if escaping, and Biyu followed behind in case she would fall on the road, and returned to her own courtyard. Biyu looked at her lady panting, the lady usually listened to her wife like this, When were you so bold.

This is not what Jin Xiangrong thinks, she really cares about this long worker's body, if there is something bad, she will die of guilt.

The third miss of the Jin family was kind-hearted, and she was very kind to the servants on weekdays, let alone to save her injured people, although Jin Xiangrong did not go to the outer courtyard again, Jin Xiangrong would still send people to take medicine.

All of this was done without Mrs. Jin's knowledge. It wasn't until Ah He recovered and wrote a letter to Jin Xiangrong to thank her that there was a real communication between the two.

If she hadn't experienced it personally, how could Jin Xiangrong have thought that she had communicated with a long-term worker, and there was no obstacle in the communication between the two of them.

As the saying goes, if you pay attention to a person, have a good impression, and want to keep getting to know each other, you start with an acquaintance.

At first, it was only a few letters of thanks, but no one expected that the letters would not end, and it continued, one after another, Jin Xiangrong knew that when Ah He was young, the family environment was much worse than that of the people in the same village. It's not bad, and he can afford to study, so he studied for a few years.

I also know that the reason why he comes here to work now is that his parents in the family had an accident. He is the eldest son, and he has younger brothers and sisters under him. Not to mention studying, he still has to work to support his younger brothers and sisters.

She also knew that he also had his own ideals, and hoped that he could save enough money earlier to redeem himself and join the army.

I like someone who can tell the whole story, but can't explain the reasons clearly. The ignorant Jin Xiangrong gradually developed a good impression of this tough person, but because of her status and etiquette, she never dared to look into her heart clearly. What do you want, what do you want, because it is impossible.

After that, the secret correspondence was cut off for half a year. When Jin Xiangrong was 14 years old, Mrs. Jin San began to arrange marriage for her daughter and choose a suitable husband's family for her.

It was the first time that she had such a strong sense of resistance, and she even felt disgusted by Mrs. Jin's mention of any son, let alone marrying someone else to be someone else's wife.

She doesn't want to marry someone else, because she already has someone she likes, someone she thinks will be happy together, but she knows better than anyone else that this is impossible, her status is cloudy, and her parents object.

Under such circumstances, Jin Xiangrong was depressed for a few days and fell ill.

At this time, she and Ah He had not been in touch for more than half a year, and they hadn't seen each other in the mansion. A few days after she fell ill, she suddenly received a letter sent to her by the Ahe Tuo people in the inner courtyard.

After reading this letter, Jin Xiangrong's illness quickly recovered, but she asked Mrs. Jin San not to discuss marriage for her yet, and to wait another year.

Only Biyu knew the reason why the lady did this. The long-term worker named Ah He could redeem himself soon, and was about to join the army, so the lady decided to wait for him.

Biyu didn't tell Madam, because she felt that it was impossible to persevere. Instead of making Miss sad, it would be better to make Miss happy and wait until the marriage is settled. By then, the long-term worker will leave, and Miss will lose her mind, but she didn't It is expected that the following things will develop in a direction that she has never imagined.
