It is another year of apricot blossom light rain, this year, Ye Qian is already the year of jasper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When she grew up, the little girl was completely reborn, no longer the thin and shriveled appearance she was when she was a child, she was tall, the ice and snow were the muscles and jade were the bones, and her beautiful face was becoming more and more unconventional, and she was already the premier beauty in Jimo City. As early as three years ago, when the Wang couple passed away, there were matchmakers who came to the door to be matchmakers for Ye Qian, for those who sought relatives, Qingyin was very dissatisfied no matter how he looked at it, either greedy or womanizers, otherwise it was rude or untouched, how could he be willing to marry the children he cared for to those vulgar people? Regarding the matchmakers' behavior of blowing nonsense from white to black, Qingyin naturally wouldn't have a good face to see them, so he was blocked from the Yaqu door in the name of Ye Qian's young age.

In this way, Ye Qian's family affairs were delayed, Qingyin was not in a hurry, and Ye Qian himself was not in a hurry, but he was happy and relaxed, and devoted all his thoughts to Yaqu's business.

Ye Qian likes to think about some fresh tricks on weekdays, she reclaimed a vacant land in the courtyard and planted some tea seedlings, although not much is enough, after all, not too many people like the taste of tea, she just fried it and kept it for use in winter; In the summer, she will make some drinks to cool off, such as plum milk frozen in well water, apricot wine, and mulberry wine...... The remaining apricots left in the courtyard are made into dried apricots and sold, and occasionally ponder some snacks at leisure. Yaqu's business gradually flourished after Ye Qian took over, and the income was also very high.

Every time it is mulberry picking season or a hot summer day, when Ye Qian is too busy to be alone, she will also recruit some girls in the neighborhood to help, and she has made many friends of the same age.

Mr. Huang followed Ye Qian in and out, otherwise he was busy eating, and it took ten years to eat himself alive into a ball. The most idle person in Yaqu has become Qingyin, he has nothing to do, so he locks himself in the room on the second floor of the attic to play the piano and read books and learn words, otherwise he is playing against himself, he never asks about what Ye Qian does, just lets her do it herself. After all, Ye Qian has grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who is always coquettish and messing around, and now that she is in the boudoir, Qingyin treats her gradually a little alienated, and naturally she will not be as intimate as before.

Every three or five days, the elegant taste will usher in the noble Jimo doctor, he is the most powerful person in Jimo City, a few years ago was attracted by the sound of the Qingyin piano into the taste, and since then he has become a frequent visitor here, but he can be regarded as watching Ye Qian grow up. It's just that for several years, the biggest regret in Dr. Jimo's heart is probably that he has never seen Qingyin.

It was the height of summer, the sun was like fire, that is, the city of ink was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe. Elegant or next to the river, but there is a gentle breeze from time to time, coupled with the cold plum milk, it is undoubtedly an excellent summer resort in the city.

After sending off Dr. Jimo and his accompanying servants, Ye Qian was about to send the plum milk and the prepared refreshments to Qingyin after cleaning up, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Cheng Huang's two front paws holding the clay pot she used to hold plum milk, and his whole head was about to be pierced.

The lacquer table was in a mess, each piece of dim sum was bitten by Chenghuang and thrown aside, and the dried apricots were also licked by him one by one, for Chenghuang's childish and greedy behavior, Ye Qian sighed helplessly, only feeling angry and funny. However, if you let him go like this, it will seem that you are too easy to bully.

"Rhubarb-" Ye Qian casually picked up an apricot kernel and threw it over, and with a 'bang-', it hit Cheng Huang's head. With a blank look, he sighed, pinched his waist and pretended to be very angry: "You steal food again!" ”

Seeing that he had been discovered, Cheng Huang poked his head out unhurriedly, his silver-white beard was dyed crimson with plum juice, and there were some crumbs of tea on it. Satisfied, he burped, and patted his round belly with his short and thick front paws, looking intoxicated, "Hiccup-it would be better if there were small dried fish......" Squinted his eyes, and looked at Ye Qian shyly, "Xiao Yezi, people miss delicious dried fish so much-" The male voice that was originally magnetic and pure deliberately wanted to drag out the tail note, and Ye Qian felt uncomfortable listening to it.

"I don't have any dried fish, I'll return my plum milk first!" Ye Qian hugged his arms, and his bright eyes looked straight at Cheng Huang. The hair hangs down at the back of the head, the white ribbon is tied to the ends of the hair, the white long skirt is dragged to the floor, the outer is covered with a smoke-blue waisted long coat, the collar is wide sleeves, and the white belt embroidered with patterns is tied around the waist.

"Don't be so stingy!" Cheng Huang didn't feel any shame, patted his belly and turned over with difficulty, then lay motionless on the pu grass mat, and said lazily: "If you send it, he won't eat it, so it's better for me to do it for you!" ”

"That's my intention, as for what the master does, it's up to the master to decide for himself, where you need to do it for you!" Ye Qian walked over, leaned over, stretched out his fingers and poked the yellow fat body, he couldn't even poke the bones, he was completely fat into a lump of meat! "Rhubarb, look at how fat you have become! I'll never be able to hold you again! ”

Chenghuang rolled his eyes, but it didn't matter: "It's just right, the old immortal said, there is a difference between men and women, and neither can male cats, I won't let you hug me again in the future!" ”

"......" Ye Qian laughed a few times, she didn't believe that the master would say this, why did the words completely change the taste when they reached Chenghuang's mouth!

"Sister Ye, why are you talking to Rhubarb again, although it is smarter, but after all, it is a cat, where can you understand human words?" The girl next door Mo Chou is only one year younger than Ye Qian, since she was a child, she always came to Yaqu to play with Ye Qian, and at this time she happened to bring some food to the door, and as soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Ye Qian talking to a cat seriously. Shaking her head helplessly, Ying Ying smiled and said, "Sister Ye, this is the porpoise and fresh fish that my mother asked me to send you." ”

Chenghuang smelled the fragrance, sniffed, he was already sleepy and immediately came to his senses, and was just about to step forward, but Ye Qianyan quickly pressed his head. He anxiously struggled with his little short legs, but he couldn't break free, and he meowed aggrievedly.

"It's really troublesome, Auntie is worried." Ye Qian restrained Cheng Huang's actions but didn't have the hand to pick up the things in Mo Chou's hand, smiled embarrassedly, and pointed to the kitchen facing the back door of the pavilion, "Trouble Mo Chou to help me send it to the kitchen-"

Mo Chou nodded, and walked towards the inner room familiarly. Ye Qian was left in the teahouse to look at Cheng Huang who was struggling vigorously speechlessly, her eyes rolled, and after thinking about it, she leaned over to Cheng Huang's ear and whispered to scare him: "Recently, I heard that a Baiyue merchant in the city likes to eat cat meat, and he must like a cat like you!" ”

Cheng Huang snorted coldly, full of disdain: "Huh! The one who dares to eat the gods, he is tired of life! The round eyes looked at Ye Qian for a moment, it was really close to Zhu who was red, and who was close to ink was black! Although Ye Qian's ugliness was a little uglier when he was a child, at least he was obedient, and now he ...... Ay! Cheng Huang sighed a long sigh, now the little leaves are becoming more and more like Qingyin, and his stomach is bad!

Seeing that Chenghuang was trying to maintain his lofty and inviolable appearance, Ye Qian couldn't help but laugh, what about the 'god'? But a fat, talking cat really thinks of himself as a mythical beast? But she had long been accustomed to it, and she was too lazy to debunk him. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Mo Chou stepping into the back door and walking in her direction, Ye Qian didn't want to worry about Cheng Huang anymore, even if he wanted to worry about her, she was indeed not a cheeky opponent of Cheng Huang. She never fell in love with war, patted a few yellow cat hairs on her hands, straightened her waist, turned to look at Mo Chou, and asked with an unfathomable expression: "Auntie asked you to send me a porpoise, is there any happy event?" ”

Seeing that Ye Qian was gone, Chenghuang proudly lay on the pu grass mat and took a nap with peace of mind, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the boring conversation between girls!

Mo Chou heard Ye Qian's question and saw her knowing expression, and immediately blushed embarrassedly, and said, "Brother Da Niu's family sent someone to match today, and my father and mother agreed." ”

"Congratulations!" She knew that Mo Chou had a sweetheart, and when she heard that they were engaged, Ye Qian was naturally overjoyed, and asked excitedly: "When is the wedding date?" ”

"It's set for the tenth day of August."

Seeing Mo Chou bowing his head and blushing with shame, Ye Qianyue had the idea of teasing her, and sighed: "I don't know who is always in my ear, Brother Da Niu keeps talking, and now I have fulfilled my wish, how can I say that our sisters have been giving you something to give you as a dowry all these years, isn't it?" ”

"Sister Ye, don't make fun of others!" Mo Chou was already shy, Ye Qian was still deliberately making fun of her, stomped his feet shyly, and said with a slight disdain: "Catch up with Ming, let Mr. tell you about family affairs, and promise you to someone earlier, so that you will always be unforgiving!" ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was stunned, and his heart was extremely unpleasant, Ye Qian pursed his lips and smiled, a little helpless, a little bitter. Will she not be clear? If one day she gets married, Master will leave with peace of mind. So, she'd rather never get married! At that time, she was young and ignorant, so she thought that the ten years that Master said would be a long time, and it could last for a lifetime, but it turned out to be so short, like a dream during a nap in the afternoon.

Mo Chou saw that Ye Qian was a little stunned, and asked puzzledly, "Sister Ye, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Huh?" Ye Qian shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Mo Chou didn't pay attention, and then he was attracted by the smell of Ye Qian's water vortex paint case not far away, and walked straight over, picked it up and looked left and right. There are a few apricot blossoms embroidered on the corners of the white Suluo, the needles are delicate, the color is elegant, Mo Chou touched it lightly with his fingertips, and he liked it very much: "Sister Ye, your hands are so skillful!" Leaning on the tip of his nose and sniffing, "Is it the aroma of Angelica Angelica and Peilan?" ”

Ye Qian nodded, "That's right." ”

Mo Chou squeezed his eyes, and his face was ambiguous: "Sister Ye, who is this going to give?" ”

"No one will give it away, if you like it, I will give it to you!"

Mo Chou sighed and frowned: "This is too much white space, and the decoration is too plain, I want to give it to a certain gentleman!" Give it to me? It doesn't seem appropriate! ”

Ye Qian couldn't stand her yin and yang weird tone, "Do you want it?" If you don't want it, I won't send it! He stretched out his hand to take it back, but was dodged by Mo Chou. Mo Chou said with a smiling face: "Sister Ye, don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, if you are embarrassed to tell your husband with your sweetheart, I can ask my mother for help." ”

Ye Qian glanced at Mo Chou speechlessly, and knocked his finger on her head fiercely, "My sweetheart, you are big!" It was embroidered when I was idle and bored, and I originally planned to give it to Master, but after thinking about it, I thought that Master should not need it, and I couldn't think of who I should give it to, so I kept it. "Maybe I've been with the guqin for a long time, and Qingyin has the same faint fragrance as his paulownia guqin, which is indeed much better than the aroma of Angelica Angelica and Peilan.

Mo Chou was a little disappointed, she originally thought that she could marry Ye Qian, but now she is going to get married, although she is still in Jimo City, it is a city south, a city north, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to come back in the future, she is really a little reluctant Ye Qian, reluctant to be elegant. Mo Chou looked down at the plain white face in his hand, sighed, and returned it to Ye Qian's hand, "Keep it for yourself, and give it to the person you really want to give it to later." ”

Ye Qian took it and smiled slightly, just put it into his sleeve, and the next moment, he was hugged tightly by Mo Chou.

I only heard Mo Chou choking in his ear: "Sister Ye, I can't bear you!" "A woman has set up a family affair and cannot go out until the day of the wedding, which is a courtesy. After marrying a woman, you must take your husband as your heaven and obey her husband's orders in everything, and you can't help yourself.

Ye Qian gently patted Mo Chou's arm and sighed: "I can't bear to ...... you either" sniffed, and the circles under his eyes were also red, "However, if you want to be happy, you will definitely be happy!" ”

Cheng Huang half-opened one eye and looked at it, stretching his waist, he really didn't understand the sentimental thoughts of girls, isn't it just to marry someone? It's not life and death. It's just that Chenghuang never understood him and didn't care how helpless the women were at that time, the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, the lucky ones like Mo Chou can still marry someone they like, and the unfortunate ones like thousands of women have never seen their husbands before they get married.

For women in that era of war and chaos, all the trajectories from birth to death were arranged by others, they didn't need to have thoughts, they didn't need to think, the only thing they needed was obedience.
