142 Chapter 142
Three days later, when Dong Qing met Xie Qian, it was such a time.
Dong Qing is the cousin of a favorite concubine in Xizhou, such a table of three thousand miles, it stands to reason that he can't live in the Hou Mansion, but Xizhou Hou is older, a little confused, and he loves this favorite concubine a lot, Mrs. Hou is long gone, in the backyard, no one has the qualifications to control this favorite concubine, and they all retreat for a while.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter if there is a boy, at most a dowry.
Dong Qing, the "cousin" who may appear in many romances, appeared like this, he was thin and small, quite a little weak, and a dark green belt wrapped around the thin waist of the willow, just one stop to the lake, like a lotus flower.
A tear mole in the corner of the eye adds a lot of sorrow, and even the eyes of people seem to be as moving as if they are watery.
"Dong Qing has seen all the sons. ”
Seeing someone coming, Dong Qing took the initiative to salute, and his voice was indescribably soft and moving.
"This is ......" Xie Qian instinctively wanted to frown, such a delicate boy really didn't fit his aesthetics, but thinking of what he thought a few days ago, he couldn't help it, and didn't show anything on his face, and asked softly.
"Why is Dong Qing here?" Xizhou Houfu is now entertaining his eldest daughter's seventh son, He Qi, because his age is not much different from others, so he led the way to the garden, and the older one was received by his unmarried brother to enjoy it elsewhere.
He Qi asked, and without waiting for Dong Qing to answer, he turned his head and introduced to everyone: "Let everyone laugh, this is the distant nephew loved by my grandmother, and now I am a guest in the house, I think I heard that it was lively here, come and see, don't blame it." ”
Although these words did not rebuke "this concubine and nephew", it was tantamount to showing the insignificant status of the other party.
A group of several people, although they are all teenage boys, but they grew up in the back house, and their sensitivity in this matter is clear as soon as they hear it, for a while, although no one said anything, but their eyes showed some disapproval and contempt.
Poor relatives come to cling to something, and the people present are all children of rich and noble families, and they have all seen and heard of them, and they are naturally easy to be unhappy with this kind of person, and they will inevitably show some arrogance.
At that moment, someone said, "This kind of person, what does he do, doesn't he say that he wants to fish? Go quickly, I still want to catch a fish for lunch in a while." ”
"Look at your anxiousness, who is short of your fish?"
"If we don't have the fish you caught, won't we be able to eat the fish?"
With a kind of laughter, he walked forward with He Qi in his arms, and no one paid attention to Dong Qing who was standing with his head bowed on the side.
Xie Qian has never been an eventful person, but he may always have some pity for the weak, and his spiritual power is so good that he can find Dong Qing crying silently.
He took a few steps forward, thought about it, stepped back again, and raised his hand to hand out a handkerchief.
Dong Qing lowered his head deeply, as if this would not make people see him crying, and then laughed at him, in order to achieve the purpose of hiding, he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe his tears, suddenly, a handkerchief was handed to his eyes, and the tears fell on the plain white handkerchief, and he was a little wet in an instant.
Raised his head in a panic, facing Xie Qian's eyes, he remembered that his face was full of tears, hurriedly lowered his head, hurriedly pulled the handkerchief on the other party's hand, wiped it twice, and stiffened, thinking that this was not his own handkerchief, he sighed and whispered a thank you.
Xie Qian looked up, the group of people who followed He Qi had already gone away, and few people found out that he had fallen behind for a while, and his popularity was still not good!
Instead of keeping up with the team, he just took a foothold and paced a few steps to the lake.
"Hey, be careful, it's slippery there. ”
There was a whisper behind him, with some anxiety.
Xie Qian turned around and saw Dong Qing retracting his hand to greet him in a sneering manner, and returned to a quiet and silent appearance, he smiled, after all, he was a child, and his heart was fine.
There is a thin layer of moss on the edge of the lake, it looks like nothing, and if you step on it, if you don't pay attention, you are likely to slide in, but this lake is deep.
"You just said your name is Dong Qing?" Xie Qian asked, and didn't look at Dong Qing's childish appearance, looking at the lotus flowers all over the lake, the breeze blowing, all of which seemed to be fragrant.
"Hmm. ”
There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, Xie Qian didn't look back and knew that it must be the small step that moved, if he suddenly turned back at this time, he was afraid that he would see the other party standing still, so, it was like playing that game when he was a child, both men and women, what is it called, ah, it seems to be one, two, three, wooden man?
It seems that there are other names, there are people playing in the north and south of the country, it seems that all children can play this game without a teacher, and even when they grow up, they can still play, and in some variety show activities, you can also see stars playing this game without any image, similar rules, new fun.
"You, what's your name?"
Dong Qing asked in a low voice, at this time, he had already stood half a step behind Xie Qian, and he could touch the other party by raising his hand, but he didn't dare, his fingers were twisted nervously, as if he would not stop without twisting his ten fingers into twists, and even the handkerchief between his fingers had some fine folds.
"My name is Xie Qian, the humility of humility and self-denial. ”
Xie Qian's voice was a little deep, he thought of his father in this life, the education of a typical woman who respected the world, humility and self-denial, but a "forbearance", this is the etiquette that belongs to men.
Abide by the rules of the world, restraint and forbearance to achieve the so-called upbringing reputation.
Standing by the lake, looking at the sparkling lake, Xie Qian said some specious things to Dong Qing, this Dong Qing, who didn't dare to speak very much, and didn't even know how to read, became a tree hole, silently listening to Xie Qian's heartfelt words.
At the end, Xie Qian felt a little more relaxed, and smiled at Dong Qing: "You forgot what I said to you today, people who think too much will always feel tired and don't think about anything, and they may be happier if they marry someone who loves you in the future." ”
patted Dong Qing on the shoulder, he could feel that this kid was so close to people, and he was almost stiff, Xie Qian smiled again, waved his hand and left.
"Why is there another hairpin missing?"
During the evening break, the things at one end were unloaded, Yingge frowned slightly, and every time she went out to the banquet, she threw away some small jewelry, once or twice by accident, three times or four times...... Didn't someone bully Sixteen Lang and take away his jewelry?
"Less is less, these are what are they worth, don't pay attention to them, press my head, blow the wind for a day, and have a headache. ”
Xie Qian found an excuse not to let Yingge dwell on this matter, how could he not lose something?
Yingge smiled helplessly, Sixteen Lang is good for everything, but this rich and noble disease that doesn't pay attention to money is really incurable.
That hairpin, to say the least, costs hundreds of taels of silver, and the average girl is only a few hundred copper coins, and how many people can be bought back with those pieces of silver!
When Xie Qian fell asleep, Yingge had no choice but to go out and call the attendants who followed him to ask one by one, but in the end, he could only write it down like this, and report it the next day, so as not to have a seizure and fall on them one day.
When it was nearly the end of the year, the old lady had an illness, she was already old, and her health was not very good, and this disease was a little bad at the moment.
The daughters came to guard when they were not on duty, and they specially asked the doctor to come and see, but it was not good, and they saw that the New Year was coming, so they went.
So this year, there were fewer banquets, and the daughters who had errands had to take leave for funerals.
In ancient times, weddings and funerals were major events, the higher the status, the more so, compared to the joy and excitement of the marriage, the funeral had another lively, that is, to invite the monk to chant the scriptures.
Xie Qian knew that there was also a Buddhist tradition in this world, and he had followed Lao Taijun to worship a few mountains, and at that time he made an interesting appearance to study whether the teachings changed with the different worlds, in fact, there were indeed changes, but not much, which provided him with some convenience.
After seven days of rest, a group of family members wore linen and filial piety, and traveled with the coffin, and the monks walked on both sides, chatting while walking, and the mourning and joy did not stop along the way.
The old lady is Mrs. Hou, followed the Dingbei Hou to suffer crimes, enjoy the blessings, and died of high life, many with the Dingbei Hou have the old to come to the road sacrifice, every time one, relatives will thank and bow down, since there are some cumbersome etiquette.
Xie Qian and the others are not exempt from vulgarity, except for those who are still in swaddling clothes, they are all older, they all have their own positions, stand in order, and bow and kowtow.
Out of the city, a few bows along the way, Xie Qian quietly left the crowd through the Gong, and even brought his family to bring people, in a large team, there was such a person missing, and no one noticed it for a while.
When it was evening and resting in the family temple, Yingge found that Sixteen Lang was gone, and he was so anxious that he turned white, and asked a few attendants to look for a circle and no one was found, and then he reported it.
This night, the lights were bright, inside and outside the family temple, up and down, all turned around, no one was seen, and San Fulang fainted on the spot when he heard the news.
The eleventh or twelfth man's family, if he really has no trace of him outside for a night, when he finds it, he will also lose his reputation, and where will there be any good end.
Sanfulang has suffered all his life, only such a child, he was expecting him to fight and marry a good man, he also raised his eyebrows, where did he think that it would be...... He vaguely knew some of the old lady's thoughts, and like this, he actually fell ill in bed.
Mother Xie was also anxious, but she planted this matter on the sisters, saying that they coveted the family property, and while their father's bones were still cold, they would kill their family, but the sisters were so angry that they were forced by her to go through the government.
There is no clue in this case, there are many people, and no one has ever noticed that such a child is lost, a group of linen, none of them have any special clothes, and it is normal that they can't be found. 166 Reading Network
