She went to attend a flower gathering.
Jia He Shi and Xia Lu were free. Jia He Shi would not prepare to attend any more gatherings in the short term. Xia Lu felt that attending gatherings was tiring. Even if Jia He Shi was used to it, she would still feel tired.
Moreover, the capital was not peaceful recently.
Jia He Shi was not in the mood to get close to those madams. Rong and Ning manors came from the same source and were eye-catching in the capital.
There was no room for improvement.
If she planned anything else, the Emperor would definitely be afraid.
"The weather is good these few days, and the flowers have bloomed. In a few days, I will take you to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva and have a vegetarian meal.
After a while, it will be hot. "It was late spring, and the weather was gradually getting hotter. When it was May or June,
Those days would be especially hot.
It would be really tiring to go to the temple at that time.
"I'll listen to Madam.
However.
Won't I go? I've been locked in the house for more than a month. "Xia Lu asked.
"Who asked him to be careless?
He broke his leg. It's good to be locked in the house, so that he won't go out and cause trouble. In the end, he'll make the master unhappy. He's been locked in the house for two months, and he knows how to make progress. Then lock him up more. "Jia He Shi thought of Jia Zhen. On the wedding night, she wanted to run to see her concubine mother. In the end, she accidentally fell out of bed and felt angry. If it were her, she would have hated her long ago. It was also Xia Clan. This silly girl was kind and soft-hearted. Zheng'er could meet such a good girl. It was simply his blessing in his previous life. As long as he gave her a grandson, everything would be perfect.
Xia Lu pursed her lips. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty. Well, Jia Zhen's leg was really not broken by him, but by her. However, Jia He Shi was right. Jia Zhen could sit and read some books and classics now, but when he could jump around, he would probably go to heaven. Should she let Jia Zhen's leg be broken for a while longer?
"Zheng'er's wife, Zheng'er's wife, what are you thinking about?" Jia He Shi did not hear Xia Lu's voice and called out to her twice.
Xia Lu came back to her senses, and with a bit of embarrassment on her face, she said, "Your wife was thinking, can you make a chair with wheels and push me to the garden for a stroll? Now that all the flowers have bloomed, the scenery in the garden is very enchanting. Your husband has been staying in the room all this time, and you are almost bored to death. Your wife really can't bear it."
Jia He Shi..... Jia He Shi....... Xia...................... Xia..........
. "Yes, Master knows. He will definitely be happy." Xia Lu said.
"You silly child, we will go to the temple to pray in three days. At that time, we will invite a Bodhisattva back. When we go back today, ask the servant in your courtyard to clean up a small Buddha hall. When the weather is hot, it is inconvenient to keep going to the temple. It is the same to pray in the small Buddha hall in the courtyard. When the weather is cooler, we will go to the temple to return the vow. Let's hope that when Zheng'er's leg is healed, the two of you can get a man in one fell swoop." Jia He Shi smiled.
Xia Lu lowered her head and pretended to be embarrassed. "I will listen to Madam." Xia Lu rolled her eyes in her heart. Haha, Guanyin Bodhisattva was really busy. Not only did she have to be compassionate, but she also had to help people in distress. She even had to take care of children. After these believers prayed and gave birth to children, it meant that this temple was very efficacious. If they did not give birth to a son or a daughter, it meant that their hearts were not sincere.
... Xia Lu complained. She would never win a battle of words on this. This era was like this. They valued men over women. Here, men were treasures, and women were grass.
Xia Lu and Jia He Shi chatted. Jia Chang Clan came over.
"You two are so close. I heard from the womenfolk in the capital that the relationship between the two in Ningguo Province is really harmonious. The wife is kind and the daughter-in-law is filial. Sure enough, it is true." After the Jia Chang Clan greeted Jia He Shi, they joked.
"You are the only one who knows how to talk. Mama Gui, hurry up and set up a seat for sister-in-law." Jia He Shi glared at the Jia Chang Clan and said.
"Yes." Mama Gui smiled and asked the servant to bring a chair. Then, she brought a cup of tea.
The Jia Chang Clan sat down and took the tea from Mama Gui's hand. She took a sip and said, "Everyone here knows my taste. It is indeed the best Biluochun that I like. It is also this year's new tea. It is really good." "You have such a good tongue.
Take some with you when you go back later. You can slowly drink it. If you like it, you can send someone to get more. "Among all the womenfolk in Xi Province, she only got along well with the Jia Chang Clan. She even had a normal impression of Jia Min, the legitimate daughter of an uncle in Xi Province. Jia Min had never been frustrated in her life. She was naturally arrogant and straightforward. Sometimes, she felt that it was good to be straightforward, but sometimes, she would feel uncomfortable. Anyway, she was from the East Mansion. It was okay for her to be indifferent.
"Then I will not be polite." The Jia Chang Clan smiled.
"Who needs you to be polite? What are you here for today?" Jia He Shi asked.
"Sister Min is out of mourning. When I come back today, I want to invite the people in your mansion to have dinner together," the Jia Chang Clan said.
"This is indeed a good thing. I have forgotten the date." Jia He Shi calculated the time. Jia Min was indeed out of mourning. "Who will be at the dinner tonight?"
"No one. It's just dinner in the East and West Mansions. Is Big Brother Jing free today? Sister Min said that the son-in-law admires Big Brother Jing very much. If he doesn't see you today, I am afraid that he will be disappointed, "the Jia Chang Clan said with a smile.
Jia He Shi instantly understood the Jia Chang Clan's hint. She said, "It is such a big matter. Of course, Master is free. I will send someone to tell Master that if he is not busy today, he can come back early."
"Okay, I came to invite you personally. I will not stay here for long. I will go back to the mansion first. Sister Min will stay in the mansion for a few days this time. After all, because of mourning, she has not seen Master and Madam for three years. They miss each other very much," the Jia Chang Clan said.
"Then you can go about your business," Jia He Shi said.
Hearing Jia He Shi's words, the Jia Chang Clan did not stay for long. They took the tea leaves that Mama Gui had prepared early in the morning and left.
When Xia Lu heard the Chang Clan's words just now, she felt that there was something wrong with what the Chang Clan said today. However, for a moment, she could not understand it.
"You don't understand?" Jia He Shi asked gently when she saw that Xia Lu was a little confused.
"Yes." Xia Lu nodded and admitted it.
"This dinner is mainly for our Master? The son-in-law of Xi Province is out of mourning. He is now idle at home, waiting for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs to make arrangements. At this time, he urgently needs to use his connections. The people of Xi Province and his relatives are all military officers, but the son-in-law of Xi Province is a civil official. Among the nobles, only our Master was born in the imperial examination. Do you understand? "Jia He Shi said softly.
"I understand." Xia Lu nodded. She thought to herself that Sister Lin's mother was indeed favored in Xi Province. As soon as she was out of mourning, the Jia Daishan and his mother from Xi Province helped to plot. She wondered how beautiful Jia Min, who could give birth to Sister Lin, was. She was really a little curious.
"Well, go back and accompany Zheng'er. When you go to Xi Province, I will send someone to call you," Jia He Shi said.
"Okay." Xia Lu understood that her mother-in-law was afraid that she had other things to do, so she left very sensibly.
After Xia Lu left, Jia He Shi ordered, "Mama Gui, go to the front yard and find a servant. Tell him that Xi Province is treating our Master to a dinner party and ask him if he is free tonight."
"Yes." Mama Gui hurriedly went out to do it.
When the Jia Zhen heard the servant's report that Xi Province was treating them to a dinner party, he felt a little strange. Today was not the New Year's festival, nor was it the birthday of any master in Xi Province. Why would Xi Province suddenly treat them to a dinner party? It turned out that Lin Ruhai was out of mourning. Speaking of Lin Ruhai, he was indeed unlucky. He could have a meteoric rise after participating in the examination, but his father died. After mourning for three years, he was one grade lower than the examinees in the same year. After he came third in the examination, his mother died in less than two years. He had not made any achievements in the officialdom and had been in mourning for three years. It was easy for him to leave the officialdom, but it was difficult for him to come back. It was no wonder that he began to plot as soon as he was out of mourning.
"Go back and tell Madam that I will go back early today," the Jia Zhen said.
"Yes." The servant received the order and hurriedly went back to report to Jia He Shi.
When Jia He Shi heard the news, she asked Mama Gui to reward the servant with one tael of silver. She was completely relaxed. It seemed that Master was planning to help Xi Province's son-in-law this time.
Jia He Shi sent someone to inform Jia Jing. Not only did she tell him that Xi Province was holding a dinner party, but she also told Jia Jing about the situation. If he did not want to go, he could let the servant say that he was busy with official business and ask him to come back later. Now that Jia Jing said that he would come back early, it meant that Jia Jing would attend the dinner party.
Seeing that Xia Lu came back earlier than usual, Jia He Shi felt a little strange and asked, "Why are you back so early today? Didn't Madam ask you to learn how to be a butler? Or did Madam find out your true colors and think that you can't take on such a big responsibility, so she doesn't want you to take care of it anymore? " Jia Zhen smiled and attacked Xia Lu with his words.
Xia Lu glared at Jia Zhen, "One look and I can tell that you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Today, Uncle and Aunt of the West Prefecture came over and said that the West Prefecture is holding a banquet today and invited our people over for dinner. Of course, these people don't include you. After all, your legs are inconvenient." Xia Lu sneered. When it came to insulting people, she had never lost.
"Woman, who broke my leg?" Jia Zhen was furious. This two-faced woman. She was clearly the one who broke his leg, but she still refused to admit it. He was furious.
"Of course it was you. Madam and Master both think so." Xia Lu was very innocent.
