The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 5: Happy Together

Everyone greeted him in turn. Su Wei sat down below the old Marquis and waved to Jingyi: "Come, Yiyi, come to Daddy."

Jingyi went over and Su Wei held her and sat her on his lap. Su Wei looked at the scar on Jingyi's head carefully and nodded frequently: "Yes, the medicine of Doctor Liu is indeed good. The scar has faded a lot."

Jingyi also nodded and said: "Yes! Daddy, I have been thinking about what to give to Doctor Liu these days? I have to thank him after all."

Su Wei chuckled and turned to look at the old Marquis. The old Marquis also nodded and said: "Yes, you should thank him. If it weren't for Doctor Liu, I don't know if you can save your life?"

Yiyi stuck out her tongue and said nothing.

Su Ming chuckled after hearing this: "Grandpa, I learned that Doctor Liu is obsessed with medicine. I got a book about medical skills a few days ago. Why don't I give this book to Doctor Liu as a token of my gratitude!"

The old Houye nodded, stroked his beard and smiled: "Ming'er is thoughtful!"

The whole room had dinner with laughter and chatter. It seemed that they were having fun and getting along well.

After dinner, Su Wei accompanied Jingyi back to the yard and talked for a while, then returned to the outer yard.

Jingyi thought of the scene when everyone had dinner together tonight, and her eyes darkened. She sent everyone away, leaving only Nanny He in the room to talk to her.

Nanny He was an old woman after all, and she knew that the young lady had something to ask her. She stood respectfully in the room, waiting for the young lady to ask questions.

Jingyi saw her respectful face. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she knew that this world was different from her original world, and there was a hierarchy.

Jingyi thought for a while and said softly: "Mammy, how is my mother now?"

Hearing this, Mammy He was very excited. After all, the young lady was the biological daughter of the lady. How could a daughter not miss her biological mother?

Mammy He looked out the window and said carefully: "Miss, the lady is fine now. She will be able to come back after a few more days of recuperation. Miss, don't blame the Lord Hou for being cruel. He is really afraid that the lady's illness will be passed on to you and the second young master! The Lord Hou knows that you have always been filial. If you recuperate in the mansion, it will take a long time, and it is inevitable that you will have to visit once or twice. The second young master is better, but the young lady is young after all. If the illness is over, I am afraid that the lady will be the most distressed!"

"Mammy, what disease did my mother have? Why hasn't she recovered after so long?"

Nanny He shook her head and said, "I just heard that the young lady had some problems when she gave birth to her daughter. Two months ago, she caught a cold and didn't get better after a few days of recuperation. The old lady told the Lord Hou to let the lady live in a farm in the suburbs for a while. The scenery there is beautiful, and there are no troubles in the house, which is the most suitable place for recuperation. A few days ago, the Lord Hou went to the farm and came back to say that the lady's health has improved a lot." Jingyi nodded. What she said made some sense. But she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. If her ability had not been fully restored, why would she need to ask Nanny He? It seems that she has to hurry up and integrate her ability with her body as soon as possible, so that she can live in peace. Jingyi thought for a moment and told Madam He: "Madam He, go get someone to prepare the pen and ink. I want to practice calligraphy for a while."

"Miss, it's so late now. I'm afraid it's not good for your eyes. You should go to bed early. It's okay to practice when you get up early tomorrow morning!"

Jingyi smiled: "It's okay. I can't sleep anyway. Practicing calligraphy for a while will help me pass the time. Madam He doesn't worry. I won't practice for too long."

Madam He knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she asked someone to prepare the four treasures of the study. She also asked Haitang and Xing'er to serve beside her, while she stayed outside.

Jingyi picked up the pen, held it lightly in her hand, pursed her lips and smiled. In her previous life, she was only five years old and was locked in a laboratory. In order to prevent her from escaping, the laboratory staff sent people to teach her some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or let her read some poems and songs. It was to make her develop a quiet and peaceful temperament so that she would give up the idea of ​​escaping.

In her previous life, when she had nothing to do, she would read books, write calligraphy, and play chess with her "nanny". She was very resistant to these things because they would not help her escape, and she was taught without any survival skills. Unexpectedly, in this world, what she had learned before was the most powerful asset here. Jingyi couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

She picked up the pen and wrote the two big words "Jing, Si" on the paper, looked at the words, looked at her wrist, and shook her head. After all, she was a child. Although she had practiced before, her foundation was still a little poor.

Jingyi remembered that she had a good handwriting in her previous life. Thinking of this, she picked up the pen and continued to write. It took more than half an hour to write.

Nanny He went into the inner room, originally wanting to persuade her to rest early, but seeing her concentrating on writing, her face was slightly red, and there were slight sweat stains on her forehead, but her eyes were staring at the tip of her pen without blinking. This really looked like the lady before she got married.

Nanny He was Jingyi's mother's dowry, and later she got married. It was not until Jingyi was born that she was found by the lady to be Jingyi's wet nurse. Nanny He looked at Jingyi who was so studious and sensible at such a young age, and her nose was sore, and her eyes were already red.

Xing'er had already begun to doze off, her head was nodding, and Haitang couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

This smile startled Jingyi who was practicing calligraphy. She looked up and asked, "What's so funny?"

Haitang still smiled and pouted in the direction of Xing'er and said, "Miss, look, this little girl is being lazy."

Jingyi looked over and saw Xing'er's right palm supporting her head, swaying from side to side. There was a plate of cakes in front of her, and there was some white sugar on the surface of the cakes. Every time her head swayed, her bangs would get a little sugar. At this time, Xing'er's bangs were already covered with a thick layer of sugar, and even the bridge of her nose and under her eyes were all covered with white sugar! Jingyi couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

After such a commotion, Nanny He hurried forward to wake up Xing'er, and said to Jingyi, "Miss, it's really too late, go to bed quickly, and practice again tomorrow!"

Jingyi nodded, put down her pen, loosened her clothes, and went to bed.
