24. Simeng's family affairs
When Qin Si'an woke up again, it was already two days later, she was sent to Yao's restaurant by Mu Fenghua, Shopkeeper Song and Steward Li were rescued safely, and Ah Wu was also rescued on the water, and arrived at Yao's restaurant one day earlier than Qin Si'an.
After instructing their subordinates to take good care of Qin Si'an, Shopkeeper Song and Steward Li left a day ago. They left a letter to Qin Si'an, so that she didn't have to worry about the affairs in the capital, and they would help to take a look.
Because the impact of the matter here was too great, it still spread, Qin Si'an thought that his family might be so frightened, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to report safety, and then prepared to leave for home, it seems that this matter can only be put aside.
"Miss?" Ah Wu called out to Qin Si'an, who was in a fugue, since he came back from the water, Qin Si'an had become very silent, often sitting quietly and distracted like now.
"Huh?" Qin Si'an was stunned.
"Hehe-" Ah Wu smiled and didn't speak. They haven't had a good conversation with each other, neither before nor now. Qin Si'an didn't ask before, and he didn't want to say it, but now it's still Qin Si'an who doesn't ask, but he wants to say it.......
The swaying carriage, the sound of tossing and turning, was silent for a while........
"Ah Wu. Qin Si'an put away her frowning brows and broke the silence, there was a question that had been bothering her for a long time, "Do you say that there are really people in this world who can fly through the clouds and fog and fly in the sky?"
"I've heard of people who have deep internal skills and can walk in the air. Ah Wu thought for a while.
"Then ......" Qin Si'an pondered for a moment, "Have you ever heard of cultivating truth, the sect of cultivating immortals?"
"Not really. Ah Wu thought about it and said truthfully.
"Oh......." Qin Si'an fell into his own contemplation again.
Since Qin Siping was studying, coupled with Qin Si'an's hobbies, she has collected a lot of books, although she often listens to some allusions to strange forces and legends of ghosts and gods, she never thought that someone would really take off the clouds. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have wanted to laugh a few times.
Moreover, she thought about it for a long time afterwards, and she remembered in a trance that there was a time in the cave where she felt as if she had been choked by someone, and it was difficult to breathe, but she vaguely heard a voice full of majesty and awareness, "You dare." Immediately after that, she breathed smoothly, and when Mu Fenghua hugged her, although she didn't raise her eyes, she could also tell that he was flying, and it was very high, and her cheeks hurt when the wind blew in front of her.
The most important thing is that the waterproof suit that is as thin as a cicada's wings can avoid water and breathe, and can also hide breath and prevent sinking, which is simply a super artifact!
And........ She saw Mu Fenghua's face smiling at him in a trance, she hadn't noticed it before, but now that she thinks about it, it seems that the vermilion between his eyebrows is gone.
It was a red sand mole growing in the skin, she could be sure, because when she first saw Mu Fenghua's true face, the first thing she saw was a touch of red between her eyebrows, she was so strange that she couldn't help but look at it several times.
How could the mole disappear in a short period of time, and as if it didn't exist in the first place, there was no trace of it? He could still fly? Qin Si'an was puzzled. She hadn't seen him since she woke up, and she had asked someone to inquire about it afterwards, but no one had ever heard of it, except for some of the people involved in the incident, of course.
This man seemed to come out of thin air, and then left out of thin air, waved his sleeves, and the clouds disappeared without leaving any traces.
"Miss," Ah Wu called softly, "I'm home." “
The Qin family was terrified from the moment they knew that something had happened, and even Qin Baoyuan wondered if he had killed too many people before, so that his daughter was in danger twice. He accompanied Meng Niang to incense, worshiped the Buddha, kowtowed particularly piously, and only knocked the ground knocking.
After getting Qin Si'an's letter of peace, he put his heart back in place.
As soon as Qin Si'an's carriage arrived at the door, his grandparents, father and mother, and his brother Qin Siping all greeted her, pulling her up and down, left and right, seeing that Qin Si'an was tired, Meng Niang wiped her tears, and pulled Qin Si'an over to jump a brazier, and then served food to the two.
At night, after Qin Si'an explained the matter carefully (of course, some places were skipped), he was ordered by the elders not to go far in the future, not to go out alone, and a series of other matters.
Qin Si'an knew that the elders were frightened, so he agreed to their wishes.
The time was in a hurry to the depths of winter, and after breakfast that day, Qin Si'an planned to take Ah Wu around the neighborhood, she heard that there was an orchard near Qingping Mountain, where you could buy some very authentic fruit wine.
Recently, Qin Si'an has been thinking about a lot of things, and then suddenly found that he needs to do a lot of steps to plan and arrange, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he has a long way to go, and it seems that he can only plan slowly.
Before he got out of the gate, he saw the three uncles and his wife who were hurrying over.
"Si'an, where is your father?" The third uncle saw Si'an, and hurriedly asked without waiting for Qin Si'an to say hello.
"In the hall. Qin Si'an pointed out, since they moved here, several cousins have been here, but looking at the anxious face of the third cousin, this time I came to find his father, it is estimated that there is something urgent.
Qin Baoyou heard Qin Si'an say that Qin Baoyuan was in the hall, and the two of them walked straight in that direction. Qin Si'an frowned, "You go get busy, I'll go see what's going on." Ah Wu nodded and went out, Qin Si'an thought about it and turned his head to the hall.
Qin Si'an's third aunt Guo Shi cried as soon as she saw Qin Baoyuan and his wife, and finally simply slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and howled, Qin Si'an's mother Meng Niang hurriedly went over to help her up, and asked what happened.
Guo Shi cried and said, "It's not like the last time I came to you to have a begging festival. Meng Niang was even more misty when she heard it, this begging festival has been so long, why is this strange now.
This Qin Si'an's third aunt is also a wonderful person, she is scathing and mean, her eyes are above the top, she is lazy to eat, and she is trying to take advantage of others when she works with others, but she is not willing to suffer at all. Several children were taught by her, and Qin Simeng was the most like her.
"What's going on?" Meng Niang saw that this Guo family was only crying there, and she couldn't stop it, so she turned her head and asked Qin Baoyou.
"Alas, it's about Simeng, this girl, it's evil......." Qin Baoyou sighed.
It turned out that on the day of the Begging Festival, Qin Simeng met a son-in-law brother, named Sun Fugui, who said that he was the only son of a certain foreign family, boasting that his family background was very superior, Qin Simeng saw that he was dressed up, like a rich family, during which the other party bought a box of Fu Yuchun's gouache and a Zhu Hai from Luoyunzhai to give her, and he was very generous, so Qin Simeng started to think carefully. She has always wanted to find a rich and noble family, even if she is willing to be a concubine, isn't this just to give water to drink when she is thirsty and a pillow when she is sleepy!
After that, although Qin Simeng returned home, he ran out twice in three days to see this Sun Fugui, going back and forth, giving and receiving privately, and even giving up his innocence for the sake of his superiors, which really made Qin Si'an smack.
In ancient times, although the girls in the village had to do their work, most of them showed their faces, but the woman's innocence was a very important thing, but this Sun Fugui showed his true face after Qin Simeng lost his innocence, it turned out that he was not a son of an outsider at all, just a fatherless and motherless gangster in the villages around the town, living by stealing chickens and dogs all day long, and when he was nineteen years old, he was still single, so he moved crookedly, and this is what happened later.
Since Qin Simeng knew that she had been fooled, she had been looking for death and life several times, and the old couple was also full of anger and unwillingness, hating Qin Simeng's foolish behavior while crying sadly for her future life.
The most important thing is that now Qin Simeng's innocence is gone, and he can only marry such a person, but how can they be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit? So they planned to give Sun Fugui a sum of silver, and gave this matter, anyway, it is far away, and before it spreads, her daughter's reputation is still there. That's why I wanted to come and borrow money from their family.
Qin Si'an heard the back from the front, and he couldn't describe his mood at this time in words for this cheating dad and mother baby in his heart. This Qin Simeng has dreamed of becoming a young grandmother since she was a child, except for embroidery, she will not be able to do anything else, usual farm work, cooking, washing dishes, hoeing, laundry, basically never touched since she was a child, and her sister is not so good, housework is all answered, and her temperament is gentle, although there is a slight prejudice against her parents, but it can be regarded as hard work.
After a few of them talked for a while, Qin Baoyuan beckoned Meng Niang to get the silver, Meng Niang went to the house and took twenty taels of silver out and handed it to Qin Baoyou, Qin Baoyou was about to step forward to take it, only to see Qin Si'an's third aunt quickly pull him, and then stepped forward himself, looked at the money in Meng Niang's hand, and didn't take it, only continued to snort and said, " Siping Si'an is promising, your business is also so prosperous, compared to this bit of silver, it is still very easy to take out, if my family Simeng's child's business, it would be good to be able to send it away at will like this. After speaking, he didn't forget to wipe two handfuls of tears with his cuffs.
As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Niang's face was not very good-looking, and the feeling was that she disliked the money and scolded people, and asked who in the village could take out twenty taels of silver at one time, which was put in the past, Meng Niang never thought about it. These twenty taels of silver are enough for a small family to last two or three years. They have been here for so long, and they haven't saved any money, if they didn't care about their children, they wouldn't have taken out so much at once.
Qin Si'an's eyes flashed, and he carefully observed the eyes of the third cousin and his wife, and then pretended not to hear anything and paced into the house, "Daddy, mother, third cousin, third cousin, why are everyone standing and talking!"
The originally embarrassing atmosphere eased a little, and a few people sat down, Qin Si'an walked to his mother's side, and while obediently hammering her shoulder, he said, "Mother, I have always forgotten to tell you something, Shopkeeper Song wrote to me before that he would do business in the capital in the future and would not return here again." “
"Oh, that's a good thing, but it's a pity that it's hard to meet in the future. Meng Niang remembered that Shopkeeper Song had always taken care of their family in many ways, and sighed.
"A good thing is a good thing, but it's ......" Qin Si'an said in a slurred manner.
"But what, you kid, you speak so slowly, you're in a hurry. Meng Niang pretended to be annoyed and glared at her.
Qin Si'an put away his hammer shoulder, and said in silence, "When I bought here, the shopkeeper Song also gave out the silver, and originally said that the business would be divided into five or five accounts, but I didn't expect him to return to Beijing to be on duty, so I wrote to say that the silver was going to be withdrawn, alas, ........"
"Alas?" Hearing this, Meng Niang finally sensed the taste, so she made a sad look, "How much do you want to withdraw?"
"Ninety taels of silver. Qin Si paused and said.
"Hiss-" This sound came from Qin Si'an's third aunt Guo, who saw that everyone was looking at her, and coughed hurriedly.
"How is this good, we can't get together so much silver now!" The honest Qin Si'an's father was very anxious, he didn't know about these things at the beginning, so he believed it at first glance.
Guo's eyes rolled, and he saw that he had borrowed more silver, and then dragged his careful thoughts about not paying it back, so he hurriedly gave his eyes to his man, the two glanced at each other, exchanged thoughts, and Guo Shi wiped the non-existent tears on his face with his sleeve and said, "Meng Niang, I really envy your good fortune, such a good two babies, but it saves my heart, God is pitiful, my dreams......."
"Alas, now my family is not having a good time, this borrowed silver ......." Meng Niang looked at Guo's family, and did not continue, thinking that the shopkeeper of Song was indeed gone, and the matter of this withdrawal, I don't know what the situation is, and I can't help but have a little sadness between my eyebrows.
"Twenty taels is twenty taels, it's better than not borrowing. Guo hurriedly took over the conversation, walked to Meng Niang's side, and reached out to put Meng Niang's silver on the table into his arms.
Qin Si'an frowned slightly, but did not say a word.
Meng Niang's face is not very good-looking, what is better than not borrowing? It is really cheap and good-looking! Meng Niang wanted to reply with two words and choked Guo's family, Qin Si'an pulled her sleeve, looked at her father, and then shook her head at her. Meng Niang glanced at her man, alas, forget it, bear with it.
