Red House Farm Stay

Who is Huo Shangshu? One stare can stop a child from crying at night, and can scare a timid person to piss his pants.

Just under his staring eyes, Jia Lian was sweating, and could hardly speak a complete sentence.

Huo Shangshu nodded in satisfaction, and said to himself: "Then it's settled, when they come back, they will get married."

Jia Lian didn't say a word, and when he came to Huo Shangshu, the matter was already settled.

Then he still pointed to the jade pendant on Jia Lian's waist, "I think it's not bad, it can be used as a keepsake."

Jia Lian looked at the wolf-like attendants beside him, tremblingly untied the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it over with both hands.

Along the way, he had a deep foot and a shallow foot, and he didn't know how he got home.

"Go, bring me that rebellious girl." Jia Lian asked Ping'er to call Qiaojie in, and he wanted to ask what it meant for a daughter to team up with outsiders to plot against him as a father.

Not only did Ping'er not look for Qiaojie, but instead brought a cup of hot tea in, "Second Lord, are you trying to push Qiaojie further away?"

"You help her too..." Jia Lian was so angry at Huo Shangshu that he let it out by nagging.

Ping'er tolerated Jia Lian's nonsense and anger with her tenderness, until Jia Lian realized that he had gone too far, and then apologized, "I shouldn't be angry with you."

"Second master is unhappy, unhappy, if you don't tell the concubine, who else can you tell?" Ping'er pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile, indicating that she didn't mind.

"It's just that I still have to say one more thing. We finally took back Qiaojie. We want her person or her heart. If it's her person, she will always be the second master's daughter. Who cares about that? It can't be changed. But if it is the heart, the human heart can only be exchanged with the human heart, and there is nothing that should be done. If the child's heart is hurt, the concubine boldly assumes that she will marry Qiaojie into a noble family, and she will never be married again. With your mother's family, can you still go to your in-law's house to argue?"

Jia Lian downed the teacup heavily and said angrily, "She dares."

But looking at Ping'er's calm gaze, his momentum suddenly weakened, yes, she dared, of course she dared.

"I have done everything I should do. I have not taken her to any high-ranking family, and I have not taken her to see the Silver House and Treasure Pavilion. But sister Qiao, I said something beyond the mark. She doesn't look like a daughter of a family. But in her heart, she is more like a daughter of a family than any daughter of a family."

Nothing can catch her eyes, and she who doesn't understand admits frankly that when others mentioned her past with ill intentions, she didn't hide it at all, and she was proud of it.With such an air and calmness, who said she is not the daughter of a family.

Not only is he not twitchy, but he also has his own views on things and people.Sometimes what he said surprised even Ping'er.Unexpectedly, Qiaojie, who grew up in the Wang family, is not as impoverished as she thought.

"But she's in front of the queen." Jia Lian suddenly realized that sister Qiao did it on purpose, and punched her fist hard, "This child, she, has been guarding against us, and..."

"And the empress." Ping'er continued, "The child's heart is not with us. If this continues, it will only push her further and further away. Second master, do you really just want sister Qiao to marry into a wealthy family? Can you pave the way for the revival of the Jia family?"

"Nonsense, how could I think so, sister Qiao is my daughter, how could I not be good for her. This child has suffered a lot since she was a child. Of course I want to plan for her and make up for the hardships she has suffered. "

Jia Lian blushed. In fact, how could he not want to marry into a wealthy family to pave the way for Jia's family.However, speaking from the bottom of his heart, he really hoped that sister Qiao would marry into a good family, and that she would only enjoy happiness for the rest of her life and never suffer from poverty again.

He has always felt that these two purposes are consistent and can be held at the same time.He will not randomly marry off his daughter and push her into a pit of fire just to help Jia Jiala.

But now it seems that his wishful thinking has come to nothing.

"I know Second Master doesn't think so, but what about Sister Qiao? She has always felt that we took her home to use her. She won't believe what we say now. If you have to pretend to be an elder , she can't resist in the open, what will she think secretly, how will she hate us, second master, have you ever thought about it?"

As Ping'er talked, she shed tears and sobbed: "I don't want Sister Qiao to hate me, that is the child I brought up with my own hands, except that it doesn't fall from my body, it is no different from my own child. But now she hates me, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it."

Speaking of excitement, Ping'er leaned into Jia Lian's arms and burst into tears.

Jia Lian patted Ping'er on the back, and just as his heart was over, he began to be speechless again.

In the end, he could only say embarrassingly: "Then let her go. If you don't want to stay in a female university, you will become enemies if you stay."

Ping'er wiped away tears, "Second Master, Ban'er is a scholar and willing to make progress. I'm not afraid of being poor, just such a daughter, just give me more subsidies."

"You've thought about it a long time ago, haven't you?" Jia Lian said angrily.

"Second Lord..." Ping'er's tone was coquettish, which made Jia Lian soften.In his life, he was most afraid of women's tears and acting like a baby, once he saw it, he would be lost.

He had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "All right, all right, anyway, in this family, I don't care what I say."

"Whoever said that the second master's words don't count, in the future, Brother An's choice of wife is up to you, and you can marry whoever you want."

Just after Jia Lian was happy for a while, it suddenly occurred to him that Brother An is marrying a wife.He can say what he wants, the little girls from other people's families are seen by their future mother-in-law, but not their future father-in-law.

He laughed and scolded: "Let's have another daughter."

Well-behaved, sensible, and a lovely daughter who relies on him as a father.

As he spoke, he hugged Ping'er and rolled her, pressing her under him.

The lights in the room were turned off, and Zhang's mother, who was about to enter the room with Brother An in her arms, quickly took a step back and returned to the Nuan Pavilion.

The light in Jia Zhuo's room was always on, and it didn't go out until very late.

Jia Zhuo almost pricked his finger with the needle and thread, but Qing'er snatched it off, "It takes effort to make shoes, and the more urgent you are, the more difficult it will be. If you want to make suede boots or sheepskin boots, it's better to just buy ready-made ones." "

Even Qing'er, there is no way to rush out in such a short time.

"I'll go buy it tomorrow morning." Jia Zhuo said bitterly, throwing away the soles of the shoes that had been stitched together.

"In addition to boots, there are also things to keep warm. The cold in the north is beyond what we can imagine. You must have a big woolen coat to block the cold wind, and knee pads are also necessary, otherwise your legs will be frozen. What's the matter?"

Jia Zhuo simply took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the things he wanted to buy so as not to miss them.

"There are also medicinal materials. Let's buy the prepared pills, so that they don't have a place to decoct the medicine on the way."

Soon a piece of paper was full, Qing'er grabbed her and said seriously: "Miss Zhuo, my brother is a man, and if you go out with Mr. Zhou, someone will take care of you along the way, you really don't have to." So worried."

"My brother asked me to watch you, and he said he was afraid that you would think about it and not sleep, that you would be frightened and frightened, and that you would not eat and drink. In fact, my brother is so strong and capable, and nothing can stop him along the way. His only You are the one who is worried, afraid that he will be well, but you are worried that he will fall ill."

Qing'er sighed, "I heard goosebumps all over my body when I heard it. Is this my brother I know? But looking at you now, I think his worry is very reasonable."

"Go to sleep, you don't want to see my brother tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes." Qing'er dragged Jia Zhuo to lie down and blew out the oil lamp.

"Our Qing'er has grown up." Jia Zhuo held Qing'er in his arms, and it was rare to listen to her serious persuasion, but he still looked decent.

"I don't even look at who taught the students." Qing'er stuck out her tongue in the dark, and soon fell asleep.

When Jia Zhuo got up early, he didn't find dark circles under his eyes, but he saw some bloodshot eyes.

Take Qing'er to the street and collect all the items you need.Then she ran to the place where the rattan baskets were made, drew a picture, and asked someone to weave two rattan baskets for her at extra cost.

One can be carried on the body, with a lid on the basket, and the other is a box with a long handle woven into it for dragging.

Ban'er didn't look at anything else, but looked at the two rattan baskets over and over again, feeling very novel.

"Listen clearly, if you need an emergency, put the most important things in the back basket, buckle the lock and carry it on your back and you can go. This big box can be dragged on the ground when encountering difficult roads. The bottom has been thickened by three layers, and the general road is not in the way."

He pointed to the things he bought, especially the pills, "I asked someone to put a label on it and write the name. This is the catalogue. What name corresponds to what disease, you can see it clearly before taking it. There are also hand stoves and silver frost charcoal. , we are already cold here, not to mention along the way, it must be getting colder and colder."

Ban'er kept looking at her with a smile on his face, listening to her nagging and saying many things, so much that they have been together for so long, the sum of them is not as much as this time.

"As long as you stay here well, I won't be afraid of anything." Ban'er gently lifted her chin and sealed her lips.

"I also want you to be well..." The rest of the words were sealed in his lips. The kiss at this moment exhausted all their tenderness, and they couldn't wait to express their hearts in the most primitive and direct way passed to the other party.

Jia Lian's jade pendant came into the hands of Wang Gou'er, and he came to the door again with Ban'er.Jia Lian held her nose and exchanged Geng posts with him, wanted to get angry but didn't dare, she kept a sad face from the beginning to the end, as if she was wronged like a little daughter-in-law.

Fu'er came over every once in a while to refill tea and deliver snacks. In fact, she kept her ears open to listen to what they had to say, so she could report back to Jia Zhuo.

Everyone in the room knew about this little trick, but Jia Lian felt extremely ashamed, so he hurriedly changed the geng post, promised to wait for Ban'er to come back before agreeing on the wedding date, and sent them away.

After changing the Geng posts today, and the Suyun Workshop will open tomorrow, Tianbaner followed Mr. Zhou out of the city.

And almost at the same time, Huo Shangshu transferred the elite soldiers from Xiajiang Mansion to Jinling to take command of the expedition.But Jia Lan took the initiative to invite Ying to go, and Du Xiao, the son of General Du, went with him.

Li Wan sent his son away, his whole body was empty, and he lost weight in just a few days.Scaring the maid so badly, she ran to Jia's house to report. Ping'er hugged Brother An and took Jia Zhuo to visit.

"Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, there is nothing wrong with me, I am very good." Li Wan gave the maid who reported the letter a look, but did not mean to be harsh.

"Okay, I can't come to see you. Sister Qiao's marriage has been decided, but after thinking about it, she doesn't even know how to be the director of the family. You know my background, and I'm always afraid that I can't teach well. Considerate place. In addition, there is a brother An, who makes me so troubled that I can't escape at all. These days, let Qiao sister learn from you, you can see if it will work. "

This was what Ping'er had discussed with her before they came, and what she was saying was actually Ping'er's sincere words. He just took this opportunity to let Li Wan do some things, so that he could be distracted and not think about it.

"You are a thoughtful person, there is no place where you are not thoughtful. However, Brother An is indeed too young, I think so, if you don't mind, let Qiao sister come and stay for half a day when she is free, don't say anything If you don’t teach, we mothers and I can just talk.”

Li Wan took Jia Zhuo's hand, knowing that she had made an appointment with Ban'er despite all her efforts, she couldn't help admiring her for her consistency.You must know how many temptations and desires there are in this chaotic world and the luxurious Jinling City. It is by no means an easy task to keep one's original heart.

After leaving Li Wan's house, Jia Zhuo went to see Wang's family.

She explained to Ping'er: "Uncle Wang sent someone to pick up Aunt Wang and grandma yesterday, and they rented a small courtyard behind Suyunfang."

Qing'er was picked up by Wang Gouer himself last night.

"Then I'll go too, you girl didn't say it earlier, you can't go empty-handed to see people, right?" Ping'er asked the driver to go to the dim sum shop first, bought dim sum in four-color gift boxes, and then diverted. Wang family.

"I forgot, but they don't really care about it." Jia Zhuo tilted her head and smiled playfully. Such a relaxed expression made Ping'er stunned. She had never smiled like this when she was at Jia's house.

"Grandma, Aunt Wang, Qing'er..." Jia Zhuo patted on the door, and Ping'er watched her expression from the side, the corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Such an expression is completely different from her tense expression in Jia's house.

Her Qiaojie, Xin, is still somewhere else.

Before Ping'er could feel more emotional, the courtyard door was opened by Qing'er, "I knew you would come today, alas, Second Mistress is also here, Brother An, come on, let me hug you."

Qing'er skillfully hugged Brother An and led them in.

"Grandma..."

Jia Zhuo threw himself into Grandma Liu's arms.

"Hey, please greet the second grandma." This is Mrs. Liu, blessing Ping'er, and Ping'er hurriedly supported her.

"Huh huh..." This is Brother An, seeing a room full of people he has never seen before, it was too fresh, he widened his eyes happily, and looked around.Those little eyes made Liu shi couldn't help touching his little hands and feet, so much love.

"It's good now, we can see our little Zhuo again." Grandma's eyes are not very good anymore, and she can see Jia Zhuo's face clearly only when she is very close. She keeps rubbing Jia Zhuo's hand with her own hand, Reluctant to let go.

"In the future, you can watch it for a long time, but her father is angry when he thinks of marrying a daughter. Others think he is not satisfied with the future son-in-law. How do you know what the father-in-law is thinking? Look at the son-in-law, then They're all bad boys who kidnapped her precious daughter."

Ping'er's words are to ease the Wang family's opinion on Jia Lian.Now that a marriage has been made, the daughter will marry sooner or later, and the relationship must be repaired as soon as possible.

"Yes, yes, they are all raising their daughters, I understand." Mrs. Liu hurriedly responded, she didn't quite know what was going on here.Wang Gou'er didn't tell her in detail, he only knew that the marriage of the two families was counted, and that was enough.

"It's just that Ban'er went on a study tour. What's the matter? If you ask me, nothing is as important as getting married." Mrs. Liu sighed, thinking that she would be able to drink daughter-in-law tea soon, but her son was inexplicably apprenticed to a teacher for a study tour yesterday. Had a big fight with Wang Gouer at night.

"Okay, I said it is a rare great Confucianism, and you have to look good if you want to be a teacher. Don't complain, Xiao Zhuo is here, if it's not good, Xiao Zhuo will let him go."

Grandma Liu interrupted her daughter's complaints. Ban'er is a scholar, so what they should do is no longer up to them as women.

Seeing that no one objected, Mrs. Liu shut up and muttered, "I'm going to make tea."

"It's already brewed." After Qing'er returned Brother An to Ping'er, he went to make tea, which was just served at this moment.

Jia Zhuo felt extremely comfortable staying here, even Liu's nagging was no longer annoying.Sure enough, the aura of people in the market is more in tune with me.She was so dazed that she didn't want to leave, but Ping'er looked at her frequently, so she had no choice but to get up and leave.

"I know you like the Wang family, but you and Ban'er are engaged, so you can't always run to their house. It's against the rules."

"Oh, I see." Since Jia Zhuo got his wish and got engaged with Ban'er, he rarely contradicted them again, but this perfunctory expression showed that he didn't take it to heart at all.

Ping'er sighed slightly in her heart, reminding herself that she must take her time.

Jia Zhuo's engagement, for Ping'er, there is still a hurdle to pass, which is the empress.

When it came time to enter the palace, Ping'er entrusted An Ge to Jia Zhuo and entered the palace by himself.Jia Zhuo was a little strange, because she clearly saw her name on the palace card sent by someone from the palace.

Why didn't Ping'er bring herself? Jia Zhuo hugged An Ge, kissed his delicate face, and couldn't help but began to worry about her.

In Miyagi, Ping'er felt that it was colder than anywhere else, and when he entered in the sedan chair, the same cold wind poured in.But being cold has another advantage, it makes her mind clearer, so clear that she can even imagine the empress's anger.

"A talent."

"Yes."

"Grandma Liu's grandson, the kid who ate melon?"

"Yes."

"Besides saying yes, what else can you say? My niece, you promised to a poor boy with no family background, no official position, and no fame?"

Ping'er said silently in his heart, it's not that he has no fame, he's just a scholar for the time being.

"Heh...hehehehehehe..." Jia Peng sneered several times, until Ping'er's bones were cold, the clothes on the back were soaked in cold sweat, and the underwear stuck to her body.

"Niang Niang, our second master is really helpless. Mr. Zhou entrusted Huo Shangshu to be the matchmaker. Second master, he dare not refuse."

Ping'er only hoped that Empress Empress could calm down her anger a little bit, or simply vent her anger on her, and stop looking for other people's troubles.

"Mr. Zhou, Huo Shangshu, do you think that if these people are brought out, I will be afraid of them? Who are you lying to? If you didn't take good care of Qiaojie, would they dare to take advantage of Qiaojie?" Jia Peng said. Zi goes straight to the core of the problem.

Sister Qiao and Ban'er are in love with each other, and this is how to protect the matchmaker. Otherwise, wouldn't it be an enmity.Even someone as capricious as Mr. Zhou and tough as Huo Shangshu would not care about such matters.

In Jia Peng's eyes, Ping'er hadn't let her understand her identity and what kind of life she would lead after her niece had been brought back for a long time, which gave the poor boy a loophole to take advantage of.It's really leprosy who wants to eat swan meat, and he eats it, it's really frustrating.

Ping'er knew that he had no way to deny it, so he knelt down and confessed, "Sister Qiao and Ban'er's childhood sweethearts grew up together, and the concubine is really incompetent, so there is no way to separate them."

"You are incompetent, not only incompetent but also hopelessly soft-hearted. Do you think your soft-heartedness is for Qiaojie? You are wrong, you are all wrong, you don't understand what you have lost at all."

Jia Peng felt that he couldn't continue talking to these stupid mortals. These people don't understand what is the big picture and what is the big deal.

Ping'er was reprimanded, sweated through his clothes and blew cold wind, and fell ill as soon as he came back.She locked herself in the room and did not allow Brother An and Sister Qiao to get close, for fear of giving them sickness.

Brother An stretched out his hand through the door, as if crying for something, Jia Zhuo looked distressed, and took it from Zhang's mother, "Brother An, you can sleep in my room these days."

Maybe because he knew he couldn't go in to see his mother, Brother An didn't bother Jia Zhuo any more, and his crying face was stuck in Jia Zhuo's arms, like a poor little beast.

"Then it's hard work, Miss Qiao." Ping'er in the room was very relieved to hear that.With a master watching over her, Ms. Zhang didn't dare to be lazy, otherwise she would really worry about letting Mrs. Zhang take care of Brother An.

But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Ping'er is sick, and the family affairs can't be done without one to take care of them.Ping'er braced himself up, and passed out after failing to write a few words.Jia Lian said that he had a lot of entertainment, so he didn't come back at all.

Jia Zhuo had no choice but to take the account book, and asked Ping'er through the curtain every day, trying to figure things out by himself.With Brother An to take care of, housekeeper, and watch over Ping'er's condition, the time passed so fast that she didn't even have time to think about Ban'er.

Only in the dead of night, when she spreads out a map, her fingers will slowly slide across a route heading north.It seems that this way you can get closer to Ban'er and touch him.I often wake up early in the morning and see the map in my arms.
