The book continues last, and says that Ruyi has been in the Summer Palace for ten years. Just like the Cheng’en Pavilion, she has gone through the “ninety-ninety-one difficulties” and finally “full of merits”, and was able to escape unsuccessfully, get rid of her family with her mother, and temporarily live in Fengyuan.
The three neighbors reunited. After dinner, the mother and daughter returned to the house. The two spent the years on Brother E’s business, the money they earned from Ruyi’s big meals, and the monthly money and rewards Ruyi got in the Summer Palace. The mother and daughter had a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver!
This is not the expensive clothes and hairpins – for example, the clothes distributed to the maids and mothers in the will of our ancestors, Ruyi got a long coat with Shu brocade Ruyi auspicious patterns, which was worth hundreds of taels of silver.
Setting the accounts under the light, Ruyi’s mother and daughter were very happy to see the numbers calculated by Ruyi, “It’s enough for our mother and daughter to have food and clothing for the next life.”
Ruyi said, “Let’s look at the house slowly, buy it when we meet the right one. We can’t live in Fengyuan forever.”
Ruyi’s mother and sister said, “My sister is also looking at the house. She has a fancy to the Chaotian Palace. Although the place is a bit off, she can rent a vegetable garden to grow something.”
Ruyi’s mother likes to tinker with food and likes to grow vegetables.
Ruyi said in his heart: Isn’t this the house where Jixiang and I looked at? It seems that the price has finally been negotiated.
Ruyi deliberately pretended not to know: “Oh, let’s go and have a look.”
The mother and daughter were talking to each other, and Sister E knocked on the door, “Ruyi Mother, I have eaten too much dinner, I’m a little full. Please accompany me to walk in the garden.”
Ruyi Mother agreed to Sister E, and agreed, and also took two mosquito-removing sachets and hung them on her body with Sister E.
Ruyi said, “Mom, Aunt E, don’t go far. Seeing that the weather is holding the rain, why don’t I take an umbrella with you.”
Sister E had a purpose in finding Ruyi’s mother tonight, and hurriedly said, “No, you have been busy all day, take a shower and go to bed, just leave the door for your mother.”
As soon as the two of them left, Jixiang came, “Ruyi, my mother talked to your mother, probably to talk to us about our marriage.”
Jixiang did not come empty-handedly, he also carried a bucket of hot water to bathe Ruyi.
The last time we met was still the Chinese New Year. It is now the tenth day of July. We haven’t seen each other for half a year. Both of us miss them very much.
There were only two of them in the room. Ruyi was actually shy and panicked at this time, but she had a strong personality and didn’t want to show a shy and shameful look in front of Jixiang, so she tried to calm down and joked: “What if my mother doesn’t agree?”
Jixiang’s face suddenly turned red like a cooked crab at the evening banquet, “How could it be! Ruyi’s mother likes me so much.”
When she said this, she became worried about gains and losses: No, no…
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ruyi immediately evoked her pity. It was not easy to play with him anymore, so she started the topic and said:
“You are carrying the bucket and pouring it into the bathtub so quickly, and then carrying two buckets of cold water in and mix it with one.”
Jixiang was just awakened. He used to bringing bath water to Ruyi since he was a child. He was quick to do. He quickly adjusted the water in the bathtub and reached into the bathtub and plucked it. “It should be just right, you can try it.”
Ruyi said: “No need to try it. The water you poured must be just right. Go out, I’m going to take a shower.”
Jixiang stood there, rubbing his hands wet with the bathtub. “What you said just now… probably won’t.”
Ruyi smiled, “Take a mirror to look at your own self. That nervous look is exactly the same as when Zhao Tiezhu was like Yanzhi’s proposal. Fortunately, you made fun of him at that time.”
Jixiang heard this and walked towards Ruyi. The tall and big ones gave people an invisible sense of oppression. Ruyi’s heart tightened and she retreated repeatedly, “You… don’t have a mirror here, go out to look.”
Jixiang stopped next to the bathtub and lay on the bathtub and looked at his reflection. “Well, it’s really as stupid as Zhao Tiezhu back then.”
Jixiang’s “self-pity” look at the bathtub made Ruyi laugh out loud, just like when she was a child, pouring bath water at him.
Jixiang’s clothes were wet, and he began to fight back, pouring bath water at her. The two of them often played like this when they were young, and they splashed each other a few times. Suddenly, Jixiang stopped splashing and looked at him, “You…you take a shower first, I…I’ll leave.”
After saying that, Jixiang ran away as if he ran away.
Ruyi was puzzled. At this time, the bathing level calmed down. Ruyi lowered her head and saw the reflection in the basin, and her face suddenly turned redder than auspicious!
It was hot in summer, and I was wearing only a thin shirt on my upper body. The clothes were soaked and pressed tightly against my body, and it was full of convexity.
Ruyi quickly took off her clothes, soaked in the bathtub, pouring water on her red face to cool down. Oh, you have to pay attention in the future, it is not the same as when I was a child…
The summer insects screamed, and Sister Go took Ruyi’s mother to Fengwanting, “Our old sisters have been around for many years. I have never blushed before, and I have lived together warmly. You have a daughter, I have a son, and we all know each other well. Let me ask you if you are willing to kiss you and let you be a couple.”
Sister Go has always been in a hurry, and the same is true for her proposals.
