[Red House] Jia Yun's leisurely life

"Master, we are about to arrive at Zhuangzi, and my wife sent Uncle De to pick him up." Shi Mo happily shouted to Jia Yun who was in the carriage.

"Is it only Uncle De? Did you bring a servant?" Jia Yun asked. He had already planned to stay in Zhuangzi for a long time this time, and he would return to the city when the exam time came.

"I brought three, young master." Shi Mo replied, and said to the coachman: "It's just ahead, let the horse hurry up."

"I said, little brother, this horse can't go any faster. When the ride is bumpy, the young master will suffer in it." The coachman turned his head and said to Shi Mo, unwilling to speed up.

"Okay, okay, let's do it like this now." Shi Mo also knew that he was reckless, but he was worried about the cherry, and always felt that something would happen to her without him.

"Uncle De, why did you come out? It's not like we don't know the way." Shi Mo said to Uncle De with a smile.

"You kid, you don't mean what you say. Young master, my wife has been waiting for you all day." Uncle De smiled and scolded Shi Mo, and hurried to the side of the carriage to help Jia Yun get off.

"Is the young master suffering from heat stroke? His blushing is a little too much, and his lips are dry again. Why don't you let the young master drink more water, this idiot Shi Mo, and persuade the young master to wait for the sun to go down before coming back." Uncle De felt distressed. To put it bluntly, at the same time scolding Shi Mo for not being careful in serving him, the young people just can't be too relieved.

"Oh, my good uncle, is the young master's decision so small that it can be changed?" Shi Mo deliberately distinguished.

"Uncle De, I wanted to come earlier. I don't feel at ease when my mother is here. Are the people here doing well?" Jia Yun asked.

"Okay, it's just that the eldest wife has something to go back, and the wife is a little bored by herself." Uncle De said with a smile, "Young master, go in quickly and have a good rest, this day is too poisonous."

"Well, all right, all the things in the back will be moved to my yard." Jia Yun pointed to a box of things behind the carriage and said.

"Okay, young master, you guys hurry up and be careful." Uncle De ordered the servant behind him to start to move.

"Master, I will watch them put it away." Shi Mo said to Jia Yun attentively, while looking at Jia Yun flatteringly.

"Okay, after finishing the room, you can go back with the carriage, and remember to pay." Jia Yun said generously, "Remember what I ordered."

"Never dare to forget." Shi Mo nodded repeatedly.

"Master, if you ask Shi Mo to go back, who will take care of him?" Uncle De said worriedly after hearing this.

"It's okay, Qingmo and Baimeng are here too." Jia Yun said,

"Mom, do you think this village is comfortable?" Jia Yun asked vaguely as she took an apple and took a bite.

"There are so many apples in this farm, why are you so eager to eat them?" Mrs. Jia watched helplessly as Jia Yun bit off more than half of an apple in one bite, "Yingluo, go get some fruit platters."

Yingluo went out in response.

"It's better to eat like this. It's so hot on the way, or it's cooler in the house. Does mother still have sour plum soup here?" Jia Yun said indifferently.

"I don't have sour plum soup. I have to wait until tomorrow to make it. I just came here today. The cleaning took up more than half of the time. I haven't had time to make it. You can eat more fresh fruit later." Mrs. Jia said, "It's cool here, you can rest for a while It's not hot anymore."

"Mrs. Ma'am, the steward of Zhuangzi knew we were coming, so he put some watermelons in the well. He was also a fool. He didn't tell me until I asked for fruit. I cut one and brought it up. Madam and Master tasted it." Taste, see if it’s still sweet?” Yingluo came back after a while, holding a plate of sliced ​​watermelon, the bright red flesh gave off a coolness, Jia Yun could feel it a few steps away from the watermelon, so she said happily : "Bring it quickly, just to relieve the heat."

Mrs. Jia also weighed a small piece of watermelon, and said in her mouth: "The manager of Zhuangzi is Jia Xing. He is an honest person. At the beginning, he was allowed to take care of him because he was honest. I really didn't look bad."

"Isn't it?" Nanny Li also echoed, Jia Xing was able to be a steward, and she also had her recommendation.

"Why don't mother reward him with something?" Jia Yun suggested in a good mood after eating a piece of watermelon, feeling refreshed all over.

"Alright, Yingluo, you can go." Mrs. Jia nodded in agreement.

"Good wife, the manager is outside, why don't you let him come in to kowtow to you and the young master, it's considered to be his filial piety." Yingluo suggested.

"Then let him come in and kowtow. Seeing that the sun is about to set, we can't do without him in the village." Mrs. Jia agreed.

Yingluo went out with a smile and brought someone in.

Jia Xing is really an honest person, he also looks honest, he doesn't talk much, he doesn't know how to curry favor, he kowtows vigorously when he comes in, and he said auspicious words like Mrs. and Mrs. are well and healthy. It seems that he memorized it in advance.

Mrs. Jia gave him a few compliments with a smile and let him go down.

"Mom, it's cool in Zhuangzi. I want to live in Zhuangzi for a while. What do you think?" After eating watermelon, Jia Yun felt sticky and uncomfortable. She probably sweated. She went back to wash and changed her clothes, feeling comfortable. Too much, before dinner was served, Jia Yun told his wife what he wanted.

"How long do you want to stay?" Mrs. Jia asked. She thought she was only here for a few days, and would go back after the hottest days had passed.

"I plan to stay until a few days before the exam," Jia Yun said.

Mrs. Jia remained silent, she would of course accompany her son if he wanted to live here forever, but she was worried that no one was in charge of the family.

"In this case, let Uncle De go back and take care of the house." Mrs. Jia said after a while.

Jia Yun smiled, he knew his mother would agree.

"There's no need for Uncle De to go back. We still have to rely on Uncle De to take care of us here. I let Shi Mo take care of me at home. Anyway, he has a cherry in his heart. Letting him stay at home just fulfills his wishes, and Shi Mo is still very happy." Be steady and have your own way of handling things," Jia Yun said.

"It turns out that you have made all the arrangements. You should have told me yesterday that this is what happened now." Mrs. Jia pretended to complain.

"It was a temporary idea, and it was only when I got here that I realized that this place is much more comfortable than at home. Did my mother say so?" Jia Yun was acting obedient.

"Then the people who serve you have arranged it? This can't be ignored." Mrs. Jia asked with concern. What she was most worried about was Jia Yun's body. Ever since she knew the rules of the exam, she had sighed in her heart more than once. , reading is really a physical job. If you are not in good health, you will not be able to survive at all. How many scholars have fallen ill before the end of the exam, and some, as soon as the exam comes out, the family has already invited a doctor to wait at home .

"Mother, don't worry, Qingmo and Baimeng have learned from Shimo and Yingying for a long time, and I'm used to them too." Jia Yun laughed.

"That's good." Mrs. Jia nodded, and asked Yingluo sideways, "Go to the kitchen and see when the food is ready. If it's not ready yet, ask them to make another sweet corn soup."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go and urge you."

Yingluo agreed, and went out to bypass the promenade. There were green vines on both sides of the promenade, and there was a cool breeze as she walked under it.

"Sister-in-law Liu, is the meal ready for Madam and Master? Madam is waiting. Also, Madam wants to eat sweet corn soup. Do you have any corn ready? If not, I will go back to Madam."

"Miss Yingluo, there are a lot of corn here, and it will be ready soon. Today is the first day of the wife's and young master's visit. We want to make it richer. It is our fault to bother you. It's our own taro pastry, Miss, try one." Sister Liu's face was full of smiles.

"That's okay, um, it's very fragrant, you guys hurry up and present it up, I'll go back to my wife." Yingluo tasted one, the sweet, strong taro fragrance filled the mouth, and then presented it to see See if my wife likes it or not.

"Miss, go slowly." Sister Liu sent her off with a smile.

"Hurry up." Sister-in-law Liu went back and urged.

"Hey, sister-in-law Liu, that's by my wife's side. She really looks like a young lady. The lady in our village scholar's family is not as good-looking as her." The kitchen staff said in admiration.

"That is, how can our family be compared to the family of a young scholar in the countryside?" Sister-in-law Liu laughed. "I don't have time to tell you now, it's better to prepare the meals as soon as possible. The wife and the young master are waiting."

The kitchen suddenly became busier.
