Chapter 29 The twenty-seventh chapter of Yuzhi's dark meeting

Yanxi heard about the treat and came back early to participate.But when I saw the guests, they were all wives and young ladies. Not only were there no male guests, but there were also very few fashionable ladies.Seeing this situation, Yanxi naturally had no room to intervene, wandered around in the yard for a while, and had no choice but to go out again.Turning a corner, I saw Runzhi standing in front.Yanxi said: "Why doesn't Sixth Sister go to listen to the book?" Runzhi frowned and said, "What's the point? I'm tired of listening to it, but thanks to their interest, they listened with gusto." Yanxi said: " This book may be one month or two months, if these people listen to the book every day and entertain them, wouldn’t it be troublesome to the death?" Runzhi smiled and said: "That's just the first two days. After a long time, they won't have this kind of book. Interested. What are you doing here? Do you also want to listen to books? Probably not, sister Xiuzhu is here, are you here to find sister Xiuzhu?" Yanxi said: "Is she here? I don't know." Run Zhidao: "She probably came to you a long time ago, but you don't know. You should meet her quickly, she is waiting for you." Yanxi said: "She listens well there, I will go to meet her." What is she doing?" Runzhi said: "Where does she want to listen to books? She is here because she is drunk." Yanxi said: "Sixth sister, you are like them, you always talk like me and her There seems to be a deep relationship. As soon as you mention it, I have something to entrust to you. Come on, I will go to your room and tell you slowly." Runzhi said: "What else do you entrust to me? ? There is no Sixth Sister, and there will be Sixth Sister if there is something to do." Yanxi said: "No one else can handle this matter except Sixth Sister." Runzhi said: "If that's the case, tell me and see what it is It’s not about me?” Yanxi followed Runzhi to her room, first smoked a cigarette, and then poured a cup of tea.Runzhi said: "What's the matter with you? Tell me quickly." Yanxi smiled and poured another half cup of tea.Run Zhidao: "What's wrong with you? If you don't tell me, just please." Yanxi smiled and said: "You said it, why did you come here? Didn't I ask Sixth Sister something last time? " Runzhi said: "What did you entrust me with last time? I can't remember." Yanxi said: "Go to the Wang's house to listen to the opera, have you forgotten?" Runzhi said: "Oh! Yes, this time it is again Is it okay to listen to an opera?" Yanxi laughed and said: "Listening to an opera is not listening to an opera, the person is still the same person." Runzhi said: "This girl is cold, I am very happy, what else is there?" Yanxi laughed "I want to invite Sixth Sister to visit her." Run Zhidao: "Do you mean you want me to pay homage to her? It's been these days, and I still have to write down that old account?" Yanxi said: " It's not an old account, it's a new account. Can you go or not?" Runzhi said, "Why are you going? Are you visiting someone's house for no reason?" At this point, Yanxi just looked up. giggle.Run Zhidao: "What's going on here? Are you laughing yourself?" In this situation, Yanxi had to say.He briefly talked about the whole story of his marriage contract with Qingqiu.Runzhi said: "What's the matter, is this really the case?" Yanxi said: "Of course it's true, so what am I joking about?" Runzhi said: "Why didn't you mention a word to your family?" Yanxi Said: "Because I'm not very mature, so I didn't mention it. Now I see her mother, and I can agree. Her aspect is finally not a problem. We only need to see how our aspect is going." Runzhi put his hands together Knee, tilted his head and thought for a while, then pondered: "Father probably has nothing to do, I'm just afraid that Mom will think that the family status is inconsistent. Moreover, this matter happened suddenly, and it is easy for her to be suspicious." Yanxi said: "What? Is it sudden? I have known her for half a year." Runzhi said: "Although you have known each other for half a year, the family doesn't know about it. If you had let her often come and go in our house, the family would have known that you had such a friend. Now Didn't it come out of the blue that you were already engaged?" Yanxi said, "In my opinion, what should we do?" After hearing this, Runzhi couldn't think of an idea.Suddenly someone said from behind: "I thought you were gone? It turns out that you have practiced Zen here." It turned out that Runzhi was still holding his knees with his hands and only looking at Yanxi.Yanxi took a small knife and sharpened the pencil there, cutting off a section and then another section.At this time, I looked back and saw Minzhi came out of the inner room with an English book.Yanxi smiled and said: "Fifth Sister, you probably heard what I said, can you think of a way for me?" Min Zhi said: "What are you thinking about, marriage is free, can the second elder stop you from not getting married?" Can't we get married?" Yanxi said: "Although I said so, but the whole family didn't agree, it's not good after all. Besides, people always want to come to our house, so it's not good to let them hurt our peace once they come in?" Min Zhi said: "Look, before my wife came in, he was so thoughtful for her first." Yanxi said: "It's the truth whether you are thoughtful or not." Min Zhi said: "It's up to you, what do you want?" What should I do?" Yanxi said: "Just because I have no idea, what should I do if I have an idea?" Runzhi said: "What he means is that he wants me to go to Leng's house first, what I don't understand What do you mean?" Yanxi said: "Then what don't you understand? Let's go back and forth first. After we get to know each other, it will be easy to talk." Runzhi said: "You will think about it calmly. There are many people in the family, why? Do you want me to go?" Yanxi said: "You have to invite someone to go first. If the people who go first say this, then no one can invite you. Sixth sister has always been willing to do things with me. Help. Is such a trivial matter difficult for a brother?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Runzhi and grinned.Run Zhidao: "Don't give me a high hat, compliment me whatever you want, I am too..." Yanxi shook her head repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, don't embarrass me. Fifth sister, please mention it to me, Can it work?" Minzhi said: "Runzhi, you just go to him, it doesn't matter." Runzhi said: "It doesn't matter. I have no reason to go to someone's place to sit for a while, what does that mean? Isn't it obviously boring?" Yanxi originally asked Runzhi to go for a reason, but Runzhi's first sentence scared him away, and he only spoke half of the sentence.At this time, I wanted to say something, but I didn't dare to say it, so I found a piece of white paper and put it on the table, and just wrote on it with a pencil.I wrote one line, another line, and filled a sheet of paper.Min Zhidao: "You still have this problem. You are asked to write, but you don't write. You don't want to write, you don't want to write.

After this gesture, it happened that Ah Nan brought in a bowl of wheat flour and lotus seed porridge, which made Yanxi feel embarrassed.Xiuzhu didn't care much, and asked with a smile: "Aunt, Master Qi's birthday is on the second day of August, do you know?" Anan said, "Yes! The day is coming, I will forget it." Xiuzhu said: "I told him just now that I want to celebrate his birthday for him. I haven't said how to do it yet, but he thanked you first." A-nan said: "When the day comes, I will definitely pay respects to Master Qi. How can Master Qi invite us?" Yanxi said: "You haven't talked about giving gifts, but I want to invite you first." Ah Nan said: "Fine, I will discuss the way of giving gifts tomorrow, just see how Qi Ye can invite you. I still have something to do, Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.Yanxi laughed and said: "This child is very smart. You can see that she doesn't want to say a few words, so she will leave immediately." Xiuzhu said with a smile: "What do you say, I will leave too." Yanxi said: " Sit for a while longer, it's rare for you to come." Xiuzhu said: "I come to your house often, but it's rare for you to be at home." Yanxi said: "No matter who is rare, anyway, there is always a person who is rare to meet .Since it’s rare, we should talk for a while.” Xiuzhu said: “Let me go. After sitting for a long time, let them make fun of me again.” Yanxi smiled and said: “Since you are afraid of people making fun of you, why did you come to me again? Come?" Xiuzhu said: "I didn't dare to disturb you, so as not to delay your hard work. I passed by here, and I want to hear about books." Yanxi said: "That kind of book is all about some beauties What's the point of a gifted scholar's back garden privately ordering lifelong affairs? It's much better for us to find something interesting to talk about." Xiuzhu has been here for a long time, and she didn't drink tea, so she picked up the teacup on the table .Yanxi quickly pressed her hand and said: "It's cold, you will have a stomachache if you drink it. My bowl of wheat flour porridge is very hot, find a bowl and share it with you." Xiuzhu said: "Forget it Let’s share this little thing between the two of you.” Yanxi laughed and said, “It doesn’t satisfy your hunger or thirst, it’s just for fun.” Then, she found a square porcelain bucket and poured out the porridge. Inside, Xiuzhu slammed her hand and said: "You are really childish, I won't mess with you anymore." After speaking, she got up and left.Yanxi wanted to stop her, but it was too late.That night, the storyteller made a fuss until one o'clock before the show ended.Because it was late at night, Yufen refused to let Xiuzhu go home, so she kept her.Runzhi has an empty bed here, so send her to live here.The place where Xiuzhu slept was the room next to Runzhi.Because of chatting with Minzhi, she didn't go to bed until three o'clock, so she still didn't wake up at ten o'clock in the morning.Yanxi had eaten her morning snack and was about to go out.So he came back to Runzhi and asked Minzhi if he decided to go to Leng's house tomorrow?When they came, under the eaves of the corridor, they yelled through the screen window: "Fifth Sister and Fifth Sister!" Runzhi said: "Don't yell, she has not woken up from sleep. Let's talk later if you have something to say, and there is also... Yanxi lifted the curtain and came in, saying: "I don't need to ask her. That's what I said, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon..." Runzhi waved his hands to him again and again, rolling his eyes.Pointing to the room with her hand, she said in a low voice: "Miss Bai fell asleep there." Yanxi said: "Why is she sleeping here? Didn't she go back last night?" Runzhi said: "Last night, She and Fifth Sister talked about going to bed at three o'clock." Yanxi asked: "What did she say? Did you mention me?" Runzhi said: "What are you doing? They are talking about American affairs, you go away Forget it. I understand what you said. I'll just tell Fifth Sister later." Yanxi left after hearing that.He was wearing a pair of leather shoes, which creaked and creaked all the way.

In the afternoon, Yanxi took advantage of the accident and talked to Mrs. Leng.Yin smiled and said: "My fifth sister is coming here tomorrow. She said she would come to see my aunt." Mrs. Leng said: "Oh! That's okay, we're afraid we didn't entertain well." Yanxi said: "My fifth sister, she is very casual, so you don't need to be polite." Although Yanxi said so, how can Mrs. Leng be casual?From now on, call Han Guanjiu and Han Ma to tidy up the living room and the yard, put new tablecloths on the table in the living room, put flowers in the vases, cancel the scroll paintings on the walls, and remove the old paintings in the house. , Replaced the two axles again, and found a few furnishings to add to the living room.Han's mother was so busy that she was sweating all over, because she said: "It's really impressive to treat guests like this." Mrs. Leng said: "What do you know? She is really a daughter of a thousand gold. Besides, she has been abroad, what? I have never seen the big world. If you come to our house and see that our house is a mess, don’t you make people laugh? I will save face and not let people look down on me. You are tired, she is here, there will always be you I’ll tell you to wait here first, believe it or not?” Mother Han smiled and said, “I’m not too tired. I think we’ll get to know each other in the future, and we’ll come and go frequently. It's really too late." Mrs. Leng said: "You're talking in your sleep, how can they come and go with us so often? It's just to be happy, just come here once or twice. You're counting on them, Take our place as the main road." Han Ma said: "I don't believe this, if you say that people who are high-ranking officials don't interact with ordinary people, why is Jin Qiye of his family not as bad as us?" After hearing her very ordinary words, Mrs. Leng had nothing to refute.Said: "That depends on what people say." Having said that, everything was still arranged until twelve o'clock at noon the next day, even the fruit plates were placed, everything was ready, and only the guests were welcome.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Minzhi really came.She sat in Yanxi Poetry Club for a while, and then Yanxi led her over through the ear door.Mrs. Leng changed into a clean dress, put on a gauze skirt, and went all the way to the yard.After washing her hands, Han Ma put on a blue cloth jacket, with a red flower on her hair, and smiled, standing behind Mrs. Leng.Minzhi bowed to her first, and Mrs. Leng returned the gift with a blessing.Before Yanxi introduced her, Mrs. Leng said first, "Is this Miss Fifth?" Min Zhi said, "My younger brother lives here, so it's unavoidably noisy, so I came here to see Mrs. Leng." Mrs. Leng said, "Then We should have gone to the mansion to say hello a long time ago." When he said that, Mrs. Leng came to the living room together with Minzhi's hand in the morning.Then she turned her head and said to Han's mother, "Go and invite the young lady." Han's mother was eager to say something, so she went to the upper room to urge Qingqiu.Qingqiu wore a calico gown and a pair of yellow half-leather shoes, as if she was going out or meeting guests.At this time, he was lying on the bed perfectly.Han's mother said: "The guests are here, big girl, are you still going out?" Qingqiu said: "If my mother is entertaining outside, I don't have to go." Han's mother said: "When people come to visit their wives, they also come. Visiting girl, if you don’t see her, won’t she be offended?” Qingqiu sat up, stretched her waist and said with a smile: “I’m afraid of meeting strangers, and there’s nothing to say when we meet.” Han Ma said: "It doesn't matter, first time is raw and second time is acquaintance. How do people come here?" Qingqiu said: "Stay for a while, I'll go again." Han Ma said: "If you want to go, go, what do you do after a while?" Qingqiu was caught by her Unable to be urged, I had no choice but to get up, face the mirror first, straighten my temple hair, and then tug at the skirt of my shirt.Han Ma pulled her cuffs and said: "Go, go. You are not afraid of meeting guests, why are you so shy today?" Qingqiu said: "Who is shy? I'll go." Saying that, He walked out quickly.In the living room, Yanxi introduced him again.Seeing her graceful figure and delicate face, Minzhi thought she was a beautiful woman, so he praised Yanxi for her good eyesight.Minzhi took her hand, sat down together, talked about some school homework, Qingqiu calmly agreed.At this time, Han Ma was busy making tea and arranging cake and fruit dishes.Min Zhi said: "I can visit often in the future, don't be so polite, too polite, it will be inconvenient to visit often." Qingqiu said with a smile: "It would be too ridiculous to say polite, Fifth Miss is here for the first time, we can't stay very It's short, and there's nothing to be done in a hurry. In terms of hospitality, it's not as good as the dim sum that Miss Fifth ate at the house. This can't be regarded as entertaining distinguished guests, but it's just a show of respect." Min Zhi said: "Let's put it this way And I can’t be called that. Although I am an old student, I don’t want to abandon my student life. You have to be more polite, just call me Miskin.” Mrs. Leng said: “When I see Fifth Miss, I will I know that he is a kind person. This speech makes him more kind. It is extremely rare for a family like Miss Wu to be very knowledgeable, so polite." Her mother and daughter praised Minzhi vigorously, and even Han Mom stood aside, also grinning.Min Zhi remembered that no reward had been given yet, so he rewarded her with two yuan while she was delivering tea.Mother Han got the money and invited another An to thank her.He said: "After a while, follow our young lady and go to your mansion to say hello." Minzhi held Qingqiu's hand and said: "Sure enough, when will you go down to the dormitory to play? I have a younger dorm sister She is very naughty. I always want her to have a few better girlfriends so that she can see and see. If she can get to know a serious person like Mi Sleng, maybe she will change her temper." Qingqiu said with a smile: "As long as I don't dislike it, I will definitely go to the mansion. But I don't understand etiquette, and I'm afraid I will make a joke when I go to the mansion." Min Zhi said: "Although my father and brothers are in the political circle, the people who left behind are not very good. Corruption and bureaucratic habits really don't exist. If Mi Si is going to go, you can make a phone call first, and I will definitely wait for you at home." The two talked speculatively, Minzhi talked to her, but Qingqiu thought in his heart that she was here You want to say a few words behind my back.I sit here, how does she speak?Seeing that Yanxi was sitting on the side, she had no intention of leaving, and thought again, if he didn't leave, he couldn't say this, and couldn't get away from it, so he had to continue talking to Minzhi.After talking for almost an hour, Minzhi said goodbye and left, still going to Yanxi's poetry club.

When Minzhi returned home, he said to Runzhi: "That girl is indeed not bad. It is Lao Qi's happiness to marry her, and even though she is a little poor, she is also a decent person. You can marry her and let me marry her." Slowly tell your mother about this." Run Zhi said: "Don't be busy at that level, at least you have to ask your mother to see this before mentioning it. Otherwise, her old man may not agree." Min Zhi said: "I Let's not mention the marriage, just say that there is a very good girl who is Lao Qi's friend. Then listen to the tone, and then go down." Run Zhi said: "That may be okay, let's go to the mother's room." Min Zhi He laughed and said, "You can't keep things in your stomach. You can leave as soon as you say, and do as you say." Runzhi said, "It's not for this matter. I heard that the fourth sister sent a letter from Tokyo and will be back soon." , I'm going to read the letter." After Runzhi finished speaking, he got up and went to Mrs. Jin's room.I saw Mrs. Jin reclining on a soft couch. Xiuzhu took a newspaper and sat on a small sofa chair, reading some news to Mrs. Jin.Mrs. Jin said: "Why is there no one in the room? You can't even drink a cup of tea." When Xiuzhu heard about it, she dropped the newspaper, quickly took the teacup on the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and brought it over with both hands.Mrs. Jin sat up and hurriedly took the teacup.She didn't say a word, when Runzhi walked in, she smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" Xiuzhu turned her head and saw that it was Runzhi, and said with a smile, "I'm bringing tea to my aunt here, why don't you dare to act there?" Already?" Runzhi said: "We should have done this matter, and Mi Sibai has done it for us, shouldn't we thank you?" Xiuzhu said with a smile: "I don't want to be so polite, Everything should be done casually." Mrs. Jin laughed and said, "Although it's casual, we don't dare to take this kind of anti-customer-oriented thing." Just as I was talking, I saw an old woman standing outside the door and said: "Madam, the doctor is here. " Xiuzhu hurriedly asked: "Who is not feeling well, and call a doctor?" Runzhi said: "It's our sister-in-law." Why did you get sick after a night?" Mrs. Jin said: "Cough! You don't know, this time, his wife and his wife are angry, no matter what we say, they are not good. It has been three or four days, our boss has not seen The shadow of the figure. The eldest and youngest mistress fell ill immediately." She turned back to Runzhi and said, "Dr. Liang is here, so you can show him." Xiuzhu said, "Oh! Take a look."

So Runzhi met Dr. Liang in the living room outside, and led him to Peifang's room, where Xiuzhu was already there.It turned out that Dr. Liang was almost an advisor to the Jin family, and anyone who missed a meal would ask him.Dr. Liang carried a leather bag, walked into the middle room, put down the bag, opened it, took out a white cloth dress, covered his body, took the pulse listener and temperature detector, and went into Peifang's room.On the copper bed in front of Peifang, hung a bamboo tent with green bamboo leaves. When the curtain was opened, Peifang covered half of her body with an autumn quilt of sapphire blue brocade silk, and wore a light-colored Indian silk jacket on her upper body. An old piece of lake silk was rolled up behind him, but he leaned back.Although Dr. Liang knew that the young lady on the bed was a patient.At first glance, the hair was combed bald, and there was no makeup powder on the face, only a little yellow.Other than that, there was nothing sick about her.Therefore, I dare not think that I am a patient at once.Seeing the doctor come in, Peifang forced a smile and nodded.Long ago, an old lady brought a square stool in front of the bed. Fortunately, this doctor was in his fifties and had a long gray beard, so he sat down on the stool.First, she asked for Peifang's hand and pressed her pulse.Then he said: "This needs to be carefully examined. Please take off your clothes, eldest and young mistress." After all, the Jin family is a civilized family, and the young mistresses often wear dancing clothes to dance. I don't think it's difficult.At that time, he unbuttoned the short jacket and half exposed his chest.Dr. Liang gave the thermometer to Peifang to suck, then inserted the tube of the pulse detector into the ear, and listened carefully to Peifang's lungs with the pulse detector for a while.After listening to the pulse, Dr. Liang said to Peifang: "The pulse is not symptomatic." Then, he took out the thermometer from Peifang's mouth, raised his hand, and looked at it against the light.Said: "The body temperature is also very moderate. It's just that the spirit is not strong enough, just rest and recuperate." Runzhi said: "So, you don't need to take medicine?" Dr. Liang smiled and said: "Although you are not sick, you are taking medicine It’s good to have some medicine.” Runzhi said, “What’s the reason?” Doctor Liang knew that Runzhi and Xiuzhu were both young ladies, and nodded with a smile, “Of course there’s a reason.” Seeing him talking like this, Runzhi and Xiuzhu , all laughed.Dr. Liang took off his white clothes and put all the things he needed into his purse.Then he said, "I'm going to see my wife." When Runzhi heard about it, he led him to Mrs. Jin's side.Mrs. Jin saw him through the glass window, so she came out to welcome him and sat with him in the middle room.As soon as Dr. Liang entered the door, he took off his hat and put it on his hands. He clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Madam, congratulations, congratulations." When Mrs. Jin saw the doctor's diagnosis, instead of explaining the symptoms, she congratulated her and was taken aback.Even the other people in the room couldn't help being surprised.
