JIahu, the Koi Fish
Chapter 4
"… Mmm … Mmm …"
Jia Xie opened his mouth and tried several times, but all he could make was a whimper. He couldn't speak.
He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't and cried out loud.
The tongue was fragile and sensitive and close to the brain, so it couldn't be hurt.
Jia Xie was too excited and used too much strength. He bit a big wound and blood kept gushing out. It felt like his family jewels had been kicked, and it was so painful that he almost suffocated.
Lady Xin saw another wave of blood flowing out and said anxiously, "Hurry up and shut your mouth. Don't open it."
Her voice woke the group of people around her. The Chang Clan was the first to react. He pointed at a familiar servant girl and ordered, "Someone, quickly go and get a doctor."
Then the Shi Clan said, "If there's any wound medicine or hemostatic powder at home, quickly bring it over and put it in his mouth to see if it can stop the bleeding."
"Yes." The maidservants responded and quickly rushed out.
Jia Xie's hand that was covering his mouth was completely red. The situation looked very serious and terrifying.
The people around looked at him and their throats became dry. They frowned and swallowed subconsciously. Their hearts hissed in pain along with Jia Xie's.
"The bleeding is too serious. Will he become a mute in the future?" Lady Wang turned her head away in disgust. She quietly moved away and hid behind the Shi Clan.
In fact, most of the blood flowing out of Jia Xie's mouth was saliva. It was just that the saliva was dyed red by blood, giving people the illusion that it was blood.
This kind of injury would at most make him doubt his life and feel uncomfortable for a while.
If he took good care of himself, he wouldn't become a mute.
However, the people in the room didn't know the exact extent of Jia Xie's injury. They made blind guesses based on the extent of the bleeding and thought that his injury was so serious that he couldn't speak.
As soon as Lady Wang made her guess, Jia Xie's heart immediately jumped to his throat.
When he looked up and saw the serious faces of the group of people, his frantic expression suddenly turned into panic. He cried miserably.
If he had known that he would push the responsibility away and end up arguing with his son, causing him to become mute, he wouldn't have done that even if he was beaten to death.
After all, his mother was biased to the extreme. In her eyes, he was already rotten to the core, and he couldn't be that bad.
Even if he admitted it, he would at most be scolded a few more times. Why should he lose the big picture for a small gain?
Sob sob … He regretted it … As long as he didn't become a mute, anything was fine …
As Jia Xie thought about it, her cries became louder and louder.
Jia Hu witnessed the whole process of Jia Xie crying like a child. His big eyes were full of surprise.
It was as if he had seen something new that was beyond his knowledge.
Jia Hu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lady Wang, who was standing behind Mrs. Jia.
She was also one of the people who had evil intentions against him earlier. He wondered what kind of misfortune this person would encounter later. Would she also cry like this?
As his thoughts wandered, Jia Hu's black eyes revealed some curiosity.
Lady Wang was completely unaware of Jia Hu's thoughts and what was about to happen to her.
On the surface, she appeared to be worried about Jia Xie, but in fact, she was gloating and laughing in her heart.
A first-rank general with a disability was really inappropriate.
Later, she would bring Zhu 'er along to remind Old Mistress to put pressure on Jia Xie and force her to take the initiative to ask His Majesty to give up the title of nobility to Master.
At that time, she would be the wife of a first-rank general and the rightful mistress of Rongguo Mansion.
Lady Wang seemed to be certain that Jia Xie was a mute and had a beautiful dream in the middle of the day.
Jia Hu was tired of sitting and changed his position to lie down on the bed.
After covering himself with a small blanket, he lay on his side and continued to watch with his clear eyes.
Not long after, the servant girl who went to fetch the medicine quickly ran back.
Jia Xie released the hand that was pressing on his mouth, took the medicine and hemostatic powder, and poured them all into his mouth.
In an instant, his mouth swelled up as if an apple had been stuffed into it.
Afterwards, two servants helped Jia Xie wipe his bloody face and hands.
Chang Clan glanced at the bed and saw Jia Hu lying obediently under the blanket. After confirming that his complexion was normal and that he wasn't frightened, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
Only then did he open his mouth and order the servants, "This is Hu 'er's room, so there are many inconveniences.
You two help Master back to his room and wait for the doctor to examine him. While you're at it, help him change into clean clothes. "
After answering, the two servants carefully helped Jia Xie, whose legs were weak, up and moved out of Jia Hu's room at a tortoise's pace.
Shi Clan and Lady Wang didn't want to stay any longer, so they followed them out.
They speculated that the scene of the doctor treating Jia Xie's injuries might be even more bloody, so they didn't want to follow Jia Xie because they felt disgusted.
After stepping out of the door, the two sent a maidservant over and ordered her to report back to them afterwards. Then, they walked towards the courtyard's door.
Chang Clan heard Jia Xie's unfinished sentence just now. It was obvious that he was ordering Jia Hu to kneel on the ground.
A five year old child was still sick and weak.
Under such circumstances, he was actually ordered to kneel on the cold ground.
Jia Xie's actions made Chang Clan extremely disappointed.
At this moment, she didn't really want to see Jia Xie's face. She just wanted to go to his room and put on a show before coming back to accompany Jia Hu.
With these thoughts in mind, Chang Clan saw Shi Clan out.
Jia Hu was still worried about what would happen to Lady Wang. Seeing that they had all left, he hurriedly wrapped himself in the brocade quilt, got off the ground, and ran to the window.
Because he wasn't tall enough, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he simply hopped up and looked outside.
Wet Nurse Liu was dumbfounded. When she came back to her senses, she immediately ran over with Jia Hu's shoes.
"Aiyo, my little ancestor, why are you running around without putting on your shoes?"
Fei Xin also stayed in the room and didn't follow them out. Seeing Jia Hu hopping like a little rabbit, she hurriedly carried a carved wooden stool over to him after Wet Nurse Liu.
Jia Hu thanked her and stepped on the wooden stool. It was exactly a head higher than the window below.
His two short and round arms were placed horizontally and his left face was pressed against them. Jia Hu tilted his head and leaned against the window, looking at Lady Wang with great interest.
At this time, women paid particular attention to small and light steps. Under normal circumstances, their steps were short and slow.
At this time, Shi Clan's group had only walked about thirty meters.
As they walked, Lady Xin suddenly asked, "That's right, why don't I see Zhu Ge and his father?"
Lady Wang was thinking about wonderful things, so she didn't think before speaking.
"Master has assigned homework. Zhu Ge is busy memorizing books and doesn't have time."
His older brother fell into the water and fell seriously ill, almost losing his life.
As his brother, no matter how busy he was, it would be unreasonable for him not to come.
After saying this, Lady Wang immediately realized that something was wrong.
She was trying to think of a way to remedy the situation, but the Shi Clan had already helped her find the reason.
"Zhu 'er is a sensible child. As soon as she heard that Hu Ge' er was sick, she almost burst into tears. She threw her books and wanted to rush over to see him.
I pity him because he's young and his body is prone to illness. I was worried that another grandson would fall before he recovered, so I didn't allow him to come over. "
Lady Wang smiled and said, "It's still early and the Ministry of Works hasn't arrived yet. My master is still handling official business at the Ministry of Works, so I didn't dare to send anyone to disturb him.
When my master comes back later, I'll tell him more about Hu Ge 'er and come over with him. "
"So that's how it is." Lady Xin laughed dryly. Both topics were wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything else.
Rongguo Mansion was becoming more and more strange. It would be better if they came less often in the future.
Suddenly, Chang Clan's group frowned and stopped walking.
Lady Xin asked with concern, "What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell? "
A faint smile appeared on Chang Clan's face. He gently stroked his belly and said, "The child in my belly kicked me. It's nothing."
It wasn't clear if the Shi Clan and Lady Wang were doing it on purpose or if they really didn't notice the movement behind them, but they kept walking forward. After a while, they put some distance between them and Chang Clan.
At this time, the sound of birds quacking like ducks floated across the sky.
During the cold winter, thousands of birds migrated south, and bird tracks were rarely seen in the north.
Under such circumstances, how could these people not be surprised when they heard the sound of birds?
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw a flock of fat geese flying past.
Jia Hu's eyes widened as he watched the flock of geese fly away. Two words popped into his mind: So fat!
So round!
The Shi Clan's group was completely focused on the geese. When they noticed the unknown black dots in the sky falling like rain, it was already too late for them to dodge.
A dense patter sounded. In an instant, the hair, clothes, and faces of the Shi Clan's group were covered in bird droppings.
Everyone's body emitted the stench of bird droppings. As time passed, the stench became stronger and stronger …
At this time, Lady Wang saw something falling. She opened her mouth to call out to the Shi Clan to avoid it. Coincidentally, a lump of bird droppings fell into her mouth and slid down her throat the moment she opened her mouth.
Immediately, the group of people who suffered from the bird droppings all did the same thing — they covered their chests and vomited.
"Retch —!"
Jia Hu pulled his attention back from the fat geese and looked at the Shi Clan's chaotic scene. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Wow!
Birds were not only fat and beautiful, but also very powerful!
Jia Hu turned his head to look at the wet nurse beside him, who was stunned by the scene outside. He grabbed her finger and shook it. He asked softly, "Wet Nurse, what kind of bird is that?
Hu'er wants to raise a flock of them. "
Wet Nurse Liu concealed the schadenfreude in her eyes. She lowered her head and smiled at Jia Hu. She replied, "Those are wild geese. If Hu Ge'er likes them, I'll send someone to buy some for you when spring comes."
Hahaha!
What a joke!
A group of wretches. See, even the wild geese couldn't stand the sight of them. They were covered in bird droppings. How delightful!
Good wild geese, well done!
But then again, all the birds in the capital were extinct in winter. Why did this flock of wild geese stay in the north and not fly south for the winter?
Look at how round they were, they almost looked like balls. Could it be that they had too much fat on their bodies and weren't afraid of the cold winter, so they stayed here and didn't leave?
What on earth did they eat to become like this?
A trace of disappointment flashed through Jia Hu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He still had to wait until spring!
Suddenly remembering something, Jia Hu said, "Then I still want to raise fish. I want to raise koi. I want to start from the small fry."
Wet Nurse Liu smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, okay. You can even raise a pond of them."
Wasn't it just raising fish and birds?
It wasn't a big deal.
Hu Ge'er was as cute as a little fairy. When the time came, the fish and birds he raised would definitely be the most beautiful.
No one could compare to Wet Nurse Liu when it came to brainlessly boasting about her young master.
After Jia Hu and Nanny Liu finished chatting, the sound of vomiting outside was still rising and falling.
Among them, Lady Wang, who was "lucky" to have personally tasted bird poop, vomited the most seriously.
Her face turned green, and she wanted to vomit out her intestines and wash them clean.
Because of Jia Lian's kick, the Chang Clan and Lady Xin stopped for a while. They were not close to Lady Wang's group in front of them, so they were lucky to avoid the disaster of bird poop.
Lady Xin and the Chang Clan looked at each other. The former raised her hand and seemed to inadvertently brush her temples and felt a layer of cold sweat.
She thought with lingering fear, "That was close. I almost got caught in the poop rain."
Beside Lady Xin, the pregnant Chang Clan felt a little uncomfortable in her chest after witnessing the scene of the group of people vomiting.
She turned her back and breathed in the clean cold air.
When no one was looking, the Chang Clan recalled the scene behind them. They couldn't help but smile and almost burst out laughing.
While they were surprised and happy about the coincidence, the Chang Clan had several questions in their hearts.
It was also strange. Where did the wild geese come from in the middle of winter?
They didn't freeze to death and even chirped happily while flying.
What was even more wonderful was that they actually defecated neatly during the flight, and the feces fell on her annoying mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
After thinking for a moment, the Chang Clan couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
After calming down, she immediately turned around and ordered the servants around her, "Go and help."
Lady Xin glanced at the Chang Clan's stomach and whispered in her ear, "Your child's kick was really good."
Otherwise, she would be among the group of people who were covered in bird poop and vomiting non-stop. It was very likely that she would be traumatized for the rest of her life.
The Chang Clan touched her stomach and felt the same.
