Chapter Forty-Three: Emperor Mother Qiu's Clan
An Shicheng saw that his subordinates were so unruly, he only felt ashamed, and couldn't help but snort coldly, Changqing Changzhu came back to his senses, and hurriedly retreated behind his master, looking at his nose and nose, like an old monk sitting still.
At this time, the young man had already walked over, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's not uncommon to encounter some accidents when you go out. I was also frightened by the blackmail I made a few days ago, and when I saw your posture, I couldn't help but have a misunderstanding. I hope you will forgive me. ”
An Shicheng smiled: "It's also that we are reckless, don't blame Brother Tai for misunderstanding." ”
When the young man heard this, his face became more and more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It is also our fate to meet today, and we should take care of each other." We have some dry food here, and if we don't dislike it, we can take it, but only a small donkey can come out of this journey. ”
An Shicheng hurriedly said: "Thank you." Let Changqing and the others go to fetch dry food and donkeys, and he himself will offer jade pendants and other things, but the young man resolutely refuses to accept them.
An Shicheng asked him again which Qiu family he was, so that he would thank him in the future.
The young man only said, "It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about." Childe, please, we still have to hurry. ”
An Shicheng had to let go of the side, watching those people slowly leave, but he had already written down the names on the coffin in his heart: Qiu Zhao and Qiu Han.
After remembering it in his heart, An Shicheng raised his eyes again, but saw that the carriage that the lady was sitting in happened to pass in front of him.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the sky, and rolled up the curtain of the carriage halfway up, revealing the face of a young girl, who saw her temples holding dark clouds, her eyebrows bent and crescent moon, and her skin like condensed fat, like white jade. Although she is dressed in plain clothes and only wears two silver jewelry on her head, it makes people feel more and more that she is beautiful and dusty, like winter plums reflecting snow, shining brightly.
The girl was not wary of showing her face in front of everyone, and her lips opened slightly in fright, and she only had time to cover her face with her sleeve, but she exposed her wrist as white as snow.
An Shicheng and the others looked at it at a glance, as if they were fixed, like a dream, just waiting for the breeze to drift away, the curtain fell gently, although it was only for a moment, but it seemed to have passed a long time.
An Shicheng saw the curtain falling, Fang realized his faux pas, and hurriedly lowered his head, secretly ashamed in his heart.
Until those people were far away, Changqing and the two said to each other: "Good girl, this kind of beauty is not a heavenly immortal." ”
An Shicheng was ashamed that he was fascinated by that woman, and when he heard this, he shouted: "What are you talking nonsense, why don't you eat something and hurry away." ”
The three of them were already hungry, so they sat on the ground by the roadside, and at this time the cold water and dried cakes were as sweet as precious jade liquid, and they were full for a while, and when they were about to hurry, they found that the black clouds on the horizon rushed over, and the clouds were dense for a while, and they saw that a heavy rainstorm was coming.
Chang Zhu was so anxious that he shouted: "This summer day is too fickle, just now it is still exposed to the scorching sun, and now it is so gloomy, in this wilderness, where to take shelter from the rain for a while." ”
Changqing also lamented in his heart: he was really blinded by lard, and he tried to provoke the Qiu family, but he affected the master one after another.
An Shicheng glanced at the sky and said: "The passing clouds may not really be able to rain, even if it only rains for a while, I remember that there seems to be a house on the road just now, but you can go there and take shelter for a while." ”
After that, An Shicheng took the two servants to turn back not far away, there was a fork in the road, looking from a distance, he saw a house, and when he walked in, he found that it was a dilapidated small temple.
When he walked to the broken temple, he saw that the Qiu family he had just met was also there, because the room was too small, the carriage could not get in, and he was covering the carriage to avoid the rain, and when he saw An Shicheng and the three of them coming, the young man came over to say hello.
An Shicheng returned the salute, saw a skirt in the temple door, knew that his daughters were hiding in the room, and saw that his family was crowded under a porch, so he felt that he took Changqing and the two to the other side of the porch, and when he walked under the porch, An Shicheng couldn't help frowning, there was almost no tile and thatch on his head, and he fell into such a state, where can he avoid any rain.
When the young man entered the room, he heard a clear voice inside: "This is not our house, how can we occupy it and not let others take shelter from the rain? They know etiquette, and we should respect each other." Besides, things are expedient, and there is little chance to change, and we just wear veils and stand in it without making a sound. ”
After listening to a few whispers inside, I saw the young man walk out of the room, came to An Shicheng for a while, and said with a smile: "You can't avoid the rain here, please come into the house to take shelter." ”
An Shicheng hurriedly thanked him, and when he was about to shirk it, he saw a gust of wind blowing, rolling up a cloud of dust, making his front eyes a mess.
Immediately after that, the big raindrops fell, and An Shicheng had to say: "Disturbed." Then he went into the room with the young man.
But seeing that the room was originally very small, and there were some clay carvings and wood sculptures standing around, it became more and more narrow, and there were only five or six female servants of the Qiu family, so they stood in most of the room, and when they saw outsiders coming in, the waiter stood on the periphery to protect the lady and young lady from being spied on.
After An Shicheng entered the house, he was afraid of being rude, and he didn't dare to raise his head, but only dared to stand at the door.
The young man saw that An Shicheng was a courteous person and seemed to be a scholar, so he had the heart to say a few words, and chatted through the rain.
An Shicheng knew that this young man was called Qiu Rushan, originally in the south, his grandfather and father had passed away, and now he returned to his hometown with his widowed mother Tian and his younger siblings, and then he would buy property in his hometown to live.
An Shicheng listened, he was embarrassed, and inevitably made a gesture to Tian from afar, which was regarded as a courtesy, and said a few words of consolation for condolences and changes, because there were female dependents in the house, Qiu Rushan and An Shicheng couldn't let go, so they looked at the rainstorm outside and gossiped without a match.
This summer rain came suddenly, and it went quickly, and the beans seemed to be under the ground for a while, and then the wind and rain stopped, and the clouds appeared, and it was another sunny day.
An Shicheng said that he was disturbed, and after thanking Qiu Rushan, he took Changqing and the others out of the broken temple and hurried away.
Tian looked at An Shicheng's departing figure, and couldn't help but praise: "What a scholar who knows etiquette, since he entered the house, he hasn't even looked here, he is a national surname, and his bearing is extraordinary, which is even more rare." ”
The girl just lowered her eyes and smiled, and did not say anything, at this time her face was veiled, and others only saw that her eyes were like a pool of clear water, which became more and more charming and elegant.
For a while, Tian stood in front of the door with the waiter to watch everyone pack up the carriages and horses, and the girl stood alone in the depths of the room, a ray of sunlight entered the room, shining on her face, the girl's soft pancreas was lightly raised, and the eyes covered under the green fingers became deep, and she murmured in a low voice: "Emperor Chengzu of Great Chu, Wenzhi and martial arts, opening up the territory, and loving the people, so the great Chu prosperous era was achieved...... Father, Lu Guo Gongcheng, Mother, Feng Linqiu's ......"
