Chapter 3: Meeting

Hu Lanyin's mother is also a figure in the capital. She was once the singer of the prefect of Luzhou. She was later tributed to the eunuch Wang Dingjiang. It is said that she is very good at serving Wang Dingjiang. Wang Dingjiang found a good marriage for her, and that was Hu Kui, the prefect of Qinzhou, who was far away from the sky.

Ji Mingde has left, and Baoru has to pay tribute to the bride's tea alone.

Ji Bai sat on the ring chair with a little raised his hand. A soft and delicate woman came over and presented a hard leather notebook covered with red brocade faces on both hands, and a soft voice from Jiangnan: "This is the meeting gift from the master to the second young lady!"

This soft and delicate woman must be Aunt Lian brought back by Ji Bai from Jiangnan. It is said that she has been favored by the special room for three or five years. When the daughter-in-law is present, she stands behind Ji Bai when she is present, which shows that she is very favored by the special one.

Next, it was time to offer tea to Zhu and Yang. Zhu prepared a complete set of heads and faces, and ordered the girl to hold it to Baoru, a tin-plated thing, and a look of goods. You can see the corners of the corners in the sun, and the golden phoenix hairpin reveals the tin tire inside.

Zhu also deliberately said, "I treat you two as your daughter-in-law, everything is the same. You were originally a lady from the Prime Minister's House. You have seen many good things, so don't be too flirted with."

Baoru thanked him, kowtowed to Yang again, walked to Hu Lanyin, and cried with a smile: "Sister!"

Hu Lanyin was also prepared for it. She held it with both hands and called out to her sister, what a pair of Ehuang Nuying, this is the meeting.

As soon as he entered his own courtyard, Yang said, "Your uncle did it all on purpose. He got up early in the morning and called Mingde over and worshiped Hu Lanyin. When you were over, Mingde had already gone to the academy and left you alone there to worship. He was a good wife in the second wife, but she looked like a concubine."

Baoru felt that Yang was a little too fussy, and his new wife was not easy to persuade her. So he went back to his west room, leaned on the edge of the bed, and uncovered the book that Ji Bai had just given away and covered with red brocade.

Inside is a frame with white rice paper, and a land deed is inlaid in the middle.

Bao Ruxin jumped violently and looked closer. The land deed was taken out from her hands. Unexpectedly, after several moves, he actually reached Ji Bai's hands. Today he gave a big gift and returned it to her.

After looking for a long time, Baoru suddenly lifted the deed and pressed the half-folded rice paper underneath.

With the ink trace alone, Baoru could also see that it was his handwriting.

Unfold the rice paper, and a line of small orders on it: Look at the shadows of trees in the water, listen to the sound of pine trees in the wind. Hold the piano and wait for my aunt and nephew, and chat until dawn.

This was written by her when she was twelve years old. Her grandfather thought she wrote it very well and had passed it on to the guests in the mansion. It was about the little lyrics that Ji Bai saw at that time.

As for when and how he used the method to get the poem out of her boudoir, Baoru didn't know.

The family is ruined and the friends of my fathers who once called brothers and sisters now pretend not to know each other.

After she and Zhao Baosong returned to Qinzhou, no one of the former acquaintances came to the door to ask. Ji Bai was just a friend when he met and had to pretend not to know each other.

Pushing the land deed under the pillow, Baoru kept thinking about whether he should tell Ji Mingde about this, after all, he is her husband.

He came back quite early in the evening, and the three of them had dinner together in the main room where Yang family lived.

The main house was a kang. Yang went in and out and brought the bowl and served rice. Baoru couldn't get it, so he could only hand Ji Mingde a chopstick. Yang not only served the bowl and served rice, but also deliberately put Ji Mingde on his head: "You are also a juren now, so you should sit in the middle and sit down quickly. The noodles made by my mother today!"

Although Baoru is from Qinzhou, he has been in the capital since childhood and cannot eat anything like stewed vegetables. He smelled the smell of sourness and once disliked him and refused to eat it.

But since my brother got sick, the family couldn't afford to eat white noodles. The whole family had a bitter bean noodles, and the noodles were filled with earthy smell, so Baoru didn't mind the sourness of the vegetables.

As soon as I took the chopsticks on the noodles, a girl at the door shouted: "Second Young Master, I'll ask you to come here!"

Ji Mingde put down his chopsticks, looked at my mother's already dry eyebrows, and asked through the window: "What's the matter?"

This girl wore a brand new green silk jacket and red pants, which was very pretty, and she thought she was Hu Lanyin's dowry girl.

She walked into the room a few steps and bowed to Yang, saying, "The master said, please ask the second young master to come over and discuss the matter of returning to the door tomorrow."

The bride will go back to her parents' home on the third day of marriage. It is a big question for the wife of the two houses to go to whom she goes to and who she goes to. Naturally, we have to discuss in advance.

Ji Mingde put down his chopsticks and said to me: "Mom, I'll go over and take a look!"

Yang grabbed Ji Mingde's arm, and regardless of the girl next door was still there, he said quickly: "If you go back to the door, you must go to Baoru Home first. Then Hu Lanyin, first your sister-in-law, then your wife. You can consider which one is more important!"

When Ji Mingde went out, he turned around and saw Lu Baoru holding a bowl of noodles, biting hard, with two rows of thin, white teeth as white as glutinous rice, and his expression was extremely serious, as if the bowl of noodles was an enemy, and he didn't notice that he was leaving.

When we arrived next door, there was still the main room, with Ji Bai and Hu Lanyin, Aunt Lian and the other two Aunts all living there.

When Ji Bai saw his nephew coming to worship, he quickly ordered Aunt Lian to help him up, sucked a gash and said, "Now you are a juren, Jie Yuan, the top eight counties in Qinzhou. The county magistrate wants to worship you when he sees you. How can I feel your worship?"

Seeing Ji Mingde standing behind him, he gave Aunt Lian a wink. Aunt Lian hurriedly brought a slap over, deliberately put it next to Hu Lanyin, and smiled and said, "Second Young Master sit down and talk!"

Ji Mingde had to sit next to Hu Lanyin. The two of them were both handsome and of a pretty boy. They were quite old and looked like a pair of people sitting in the same place.

Ji Bai asked straight to the point: "What are you planning to go back tomorrow?"

Ji Mingdedao: "It depends on the uncle's meaning."

Zhu opened his mouth and smiled even more clearly. She interrupted: "It's better to go back to the Zhao family when you get up early in the morning. Mingde put Baoru in the Zhao family and told her to wait for a long time. Then take Lan Yin back to the Hu Mansion. There must be a banquet in the Hu Mansion. After you have a banquet, take Lan Yin home and pick up Baoru, how about it?"

Ji Mingde didn't argue and said directly: "Okay, it's up to my aunt!"

Zhu and Hu Lanyin smiled at each other. In this way, Ji Mingde would have been with Hu Lanyin tomorrow. As for Zhao Baoru, it would be over to take him home in the dark.

After discussing the matter, Ji Bai refused to let his nephew go, and talked about the price of Codonopsis and Huang Qi this year. He asked some of the students in the same academy who learned well, who married and took concubines, etc., and they talked until Zhu started to fall asleep. Ji Bai waved his hand and said, "Lan Yin, take Mingde back to his room to sleep. Remember to get up early tomorrow so that he can go back to the door."

Ji Mingde ran for a day, and his dark blue straight flank was not sloppy, but instead made him look more and more easy-going. He went out with Hu Lanyin, went down the steps, and said, "Baoru is still waiting there, so I won't send my sister-in!"

Originally, Hu Lanyin should have married Ji Mingde's brother Ji Mingyi, but because Ji Mingyi died, Ji Bai never got a child in these years. He was afraid that he would die, so he had to call Ji Mingde and have two families so that she would marry Ji Mingde.

Hu Lanyin's chest was suffocated, watching Ji Mingde walk away, and turned around to ask the girl beside her: "Hao'er, what was Zhao Baoru doing when you went to call someone next door just now?"

Hao'er poked and replied: "I'm eating, and I'm eating noodles with a stinky smell."

Hu Lanyin looked at the yard gate for a long time and finally went back to sleep.

Ji Mingde returned to his west room, closed the door, and as usual, he raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief on the door, changed his clothes and took a shower. When he came in, Baoru was already asleep.

She didn't sleep well, so she pillowed on her own pillow, hugged his pillow, kicked the quilt at the foot of the bed, and a black hair was piled up above the pillow, revealing a deep purple-red bruise on her neck.

Ji Mingde sat on the edge of the bed, stroked the blood marks with his hands and gently broke Baoru's hand. The women in Qinzhou rarely had such thin hands. The finger tube was transparent, and the light blue blood vessels could be seen below.

He took his pillow and met hers, and slowly lay down into the place where she had just put the pillow.

Baoru was still sleeping and suddenly lost her pillow. She rubbed her forward again, putting one hand on Ji Mingde's chest. The height was just right, and it was cold, like a cool mat made of ice silk on the bed, which made her feel particularly comfortable, and then put her legs on again.

She climbed up cheatingly, revealing the lotus-colored pants under her long pants, which were half old. Her upturned butt tightened the pants into a semicircular shape, and half exposed from the place where the pants were split, small and tight.

Ji Mingde licked his lips that were as dry as desert, stretched his tight throat, looked at Baoru's face with his head in a slant. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly in the dream, and the corners of her mouth were slightly cursed, like a child who had been scolded by his elders and had cried to sleep, with a look of grievance.

He pulled out a copper coin from the side of the bed, and bounced his fingers, knocking out the lamp on the table, and the room was dark.

Outside was the sound of Yang's footsteps, and she wanted to listen to the bed, so she gave an excuse to cut Codonopsis under the moonlight.

After listening to it for a long time, Yang coughed.

Ji Mingde frowned in the darkness and did not move. After a long time, Yang coughed again. Through a wall, the mother and son were competing in secret. After an hour, Yang finally couldn't help it. He knocked on the window and shouted in a tight voice: "Mingde!"

Ji Mingde stood up, feeling uncomfortable in his pants. He walked to the window with his horoscope and whispered: "Mom, I can't do it, why don't you wait for Mingye?"

According to the conditions agreed in advance, Ji Mingde will still sleep in Baoru's room tomorrow night.

When Yang heard that his son was not good, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but get angry: "Why are you going to teach you this kind of thing?"

Ji Mingde put his hand on the window, put his forehead on the back of the hand, gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "I think it's too tired these two days, so let's go to bed quickly, don't worry about these things, I promise to let Baoru have children first, okay?"

Yang was so angry that his head hurt. He stood outside with a knife and chopped the Codonopsis pilosula. Suddenly he threw the knife and stood up: "When the two brothers were doing business together, your father died in the desert, leaving water for your uncle to drink alone, and told him to walk out of the desert, so that he could have the great family and great business today.

Mom has worked hard to pull you up alone, and finally became a juren, but now he will ask him to leave half of his life. Mom doesn’t ask for anything else, but just asks Baoru to get pregnant early. You ask your mother to have a grandson early, and you will go directly to the next door to call Ji Baizhuo’s father, and I don’t care about you!"

Ji Mingde lay back on the bed, and the tight spots were finally gone. He didn't dare to move out next to Baoru anymore, but she followed her, putting a soft arm on his chest. The evil fire that I just called me to extinguish immediately rushed up again.

That night, Baoru dreamed of a giant python spitting a letter, rushing upwards on the inside of her thighs, rushing around to find a drill. Baoru screamed in fear, trembling his legs and running around, waiting to stop and take a breath, looking down at the giant python climbing on her thighs.
