Chapter 40: Commitment
"yes, who else but me?"
The words of the day kept flashing through my mind.
Qinghe tossed and turned on the bed, she habitually turned over and put her hand over, but unfortunately it was a cold pillow.
"Qingqing, you wait for me, I'll come back, and no one will bother me anymore."
Qinghe was asleep, but she didn't seem to be asleep.
Because there was her in the dream, and the promise she made.
Erbai, I'm waiting for you.
Qinghe is looking forward to it, looking forward to the west, and the twilight is getting thicker.
Even the needlework at hand was done for a day, and the final finish was completed.
She lifted the clothes and shook them, the fabric was soft, the stitches were fine and tight, and the position of the neckline and cuffs was embroidered with a small pattern, a few green bamboo leaves, which looked interesting and elegant.
The clothes have been made, but unfortunately no one has come to try it.
waited until the night was dark, but only a letter came.
Qingqing personally opened
There are four big characters in Fangfang, but Qinghe's hands are shaking like a sieve.
It took two times to open the envelope and slip out of my hand, and the third time I took out the letter inside.
The words are written in black and white, the pen is sharp, and the words are strong, but they are so strange that they have never been seen.
"When I read this letter, I had already left the city. My heart mourns, and it is no less than youth. When I say goodbye, I will Xu Qing for life. โ
The tissue paper was soaked with tiny droplets of water, and the ink smudged open, staining a large patch.
Will Xu Qing be for life?
Qing He clutched the letter and the envelope tightly, like a life-saving grass, holding it in the position of his heart, as if the letter writer was caught in her hand and had not left yet.
Bastard, you're going to promise me for the rest of your life, but I haven't said yes yet......
There was a suppressed laugh in the room, and slowly, slowly, there was a little choking.
I'm always soft-hearted with you. In that case, why don't we wait.
The door of the Xu family has been closed since then, and after two days, the people who secretly care about this place can't help but come to visit.
Qingyang opened the door and saw that someone outside the door wanted to close the door, but he was held up by his hand.
"Son of the Xu family, I came to find your sister with something very important to say, I'll go in first, okay?"
"It's not good, you are not welcome in our family, let's go."
"Everyone who comes is a guest, didn't the master and elders teach you?"
"Uninvited guests come uninvited, why treat them politely?"
"As the old saying goes, 'There are three uninvited guests coming, respect, and the end of the day', how do you know that I won't bring you any good news?"
Qingyang hesitated, and was finally persuaded by the other party to open the door.
"Sister, I let someone in......"
He was silent in the middle of speaking, as Qinghe poked his head out of the window.
"I see."
"Master Fu, if it weren't for something, you would never set foot here lightly, but as soon as you came here, there was nothing good, do you think I should listen?"
Fu Dongqing thought that Qinghe would stay at home for two days, he must be depressed and unhappy, and he washed his face with tears, but he didn't think that today was not only not the case, but also full of energy, the house was as clean as new, there were a lot of fabrics, needles and threads on the table, and semi-finished shirts.
Feeling Fu Dongqing's attention, Qinghe stopped acupuncture, "I made a shirt a few days ago, and I am making a coat to match." โ
"The girl is so skillful and smart, I do have something here, good news."
Qing He's eyebrows moved, and the disbelief revealed in his eyes was clear.
"What?"
"Remember when I used to mention yรฌ? Miss Xu's younger brother went to Kyoto in place of my uncompetitive child to be the prince's companion. The prince is young, not yet eight years old, and he needs a companion to read. โ
"If that's what your good news means, sir, then please ......."
"Hey, it's not, it's just about this." Fu Dongqing hurriedly waved his hand, "First of all, Xu Xiaogongzi will definitely be able to get better teacher guidance when he enters Beijing to study, the road to Qingyun is at his feet, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, this is the first, the second, about the girl." โ
"Me?" Qing He pointed to himself suspiciously, what does this matter to her?
"Second, if the little boy has meritorious service in reading, the emperor will definitely reward the family, and Xu Xiaogongzi's family is only you. At that time, you will be able to enter Kyoto to live in the name of righteousness, you must know that General Mu is returning to Beijing to report on his duties this time, by the way...... Please. โ
Hearing the last two words, Qing He's heart trembled.
Please? What sin? Is it a sin of dereliction of duty?
But this is not only Erbai's fault, but also his own fault. If she hadn't injured Erbai, she wouldn't have been here for half a year.
The sleeves of the coat that were originally held in his hands slipped down from his fingers, and Qing He couldn't help but stand up.
"So, what will happen to her?"
Fu Dongqing touched his beard, "I don't know about this, but General Mu is an important minister, and the country is at a critical juncture, so there will probably not be too heavy punishment, as for the rest, I am far away in Kaiyang, and I don't know very well." โ
Qing He was distraught, she walked around the room a few times without a clue, and muttered casually, "Let me think about it."
Fu Dongqing's eyes showed a little cunning, opened the curtain and turned around, and saw Qingyang peeking by the door.
The latter glared at him.
I knew I wouldn't let you in.
He thought to himself.
Every time you come, our whole family is not happy.
Fu Dongqing laughed and went out a few times.
Qing He forcibly suppressed the chaotic mood, raised the needle but accidentally punctured his fingers, and raised the scissors and accidentally cut the clothes. She angrily threw her half-made coat and scissors into the basket, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Qingyang An looking at her quietly.
Both of them looked at each other, but neither of them would speak first.
After a long time, it was Qingyang who spoke first to break the deadlock.
However, before he said a word, Qinghe suddenly burst into tears in distress.
"Sister, you let me go, I think it's white."
"No, you won't use it, my sister won't let you go."
That place eats people and doesn't spit out bones, it's terrible, how can I be willing to send you there.
On the first day, whenever he saw Qinghe, Qingyang begged bitterly, but to no avail.
The next day, he was still speaking sharply, but less often.
On the third day, he barely spoke, just looked at Qinghe.
On the fourth day, he was silent, just looking at the door, and the silence was suffocating.
On the fifth day, Qing He covered his eyes and didn't let him see the pain in his eyes.
"Yangyang, this is the point of no return, my sister doesn't want you to go wrong because of me."
"Sister, don't you want to see Erbai? Don't you want me to get ahead and glorify my ancestors? Sister, he's right. โ
Watching his younger brother grow at an unexpected rate, all Qing He could do was rub his head.
"Silly Yangyang." โโ
Qinghe has never been to Beijing.
Not only that, but eight years ago, except for the fact that she liked to eat all over the street, she was no different from other boudoir girls.
Later, there were many difficulties and dangers on the way, and finally came to Kaiyang, and settled down and no longer left.
At most, she only knows that people are sinister and the world is impermanent. But where did she know about a place like Kyoto, so she was a little panicked.
Among the people she knows, those who are familiar with her may know about it, and they are probably old.
She's going to ask.
It's a pity that Chen Lao is not optimistic.
"This place in the capital, eating people without spitting out bones, you can smash a third-grade official if you smash anything casually, there are really many powerful people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you have no backing for a small people, what are you doing there? But ......" Chen Lao turned his words, Qing He looked at him fixedly, holding the corner of his clothes tightly and waiting for him to speak.
โโฆโฆ It is also beneficial to let this kid Qingyang do the companion reading, and this benefit is for him. There is a good saying, if you suffer hardship, you will become a superior person. As long as he survives the most bitter times, he will definitely be glorified in the future, and it is unspeakably expensive, depending on what your sister and brother want. โ
Chen Lao was holding a small teapot in his hand, which contained some freshly brewed tea, which was boiling and covering his hands to warm his hands.
"I don't say I know all the people in the capital, but there are still some thin noodles. If you want to go, I will teach you a few tricks, hit the snake and hit seven inches, and when you get to the sore spot of the person, are you still afraid that you will not listen to you, come with your ears. โ
Chen Lao's complexion is slightly yellow, his eyes are half-closed, and he seems to be asleep, but when he opens his eyes suddenly, the essence contained in them makes people's hearts tremble.
Qing He listened with his ears wide open, and then nodded.
"I know, Boss Chen, I Xu Qinghe will remember it in my heart."
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
Old Chen moved his hand, and he wanted to stop it, but he shook his head when he thought of something and took it back.
That's it, let her go, she's not the one who listens anyway.
"You take this, remember to hide it, if you encounter โกโก trouble that can't be solved, you will say that Chen Zhengde is your godfather."
Qinghe is stuffed with a string of Buddhist beads made of sandalwood, the wooden beads are carved with fine lines, and the surface is shiny, which can be seen to be caused by the friction of people for many years, held in the hand, and with human body temperature.
"This?" Of course, she knew that this was an item that Chen Lao carried with him, and he had known him for a few months, and he kept it in his hand every day.
"You just have to remember that one day you will return safely, and you can give it back to me, young girl."
Chen Lao poured two cups of tea, one was placed in front of Qing He, and the cup was slowly picked up and smacked, praising it: "Good tea!" โ
"Mu Gui was smart and cute when he was a child, but the more he grew up, the more strange his personality became, and he was getting farther and farther away from the daughters of normal people, and only in you did I see a little bit of what I looked like when I was a child, I hope to see her call me Chen ...... again one day"
Chen Lao sighed and swallowed the last two words.
"Go ahead, don't forget what I said." โโ
Two months later, on the most prosperous South Gate Street in Beijing, a new restaurant was opened, and the name was obtained to say that it was good or strange, and it was called "Jungui".
It was quiet when it opened, but it became famous in less than a month, and customers came like clouds.
Originally, this kind of outsiders were all suppressed by the head snake, but the strange thing is that the head snake seemed to be pinched by someone seven inches, scared to death, and did not dare to look for trouble at all.
Everyone comes, and some people can't help but mutter, what's so good about this store.
It's not full of gold and jade, nor is it the bliss of the world, why are they all rushing into it?
If you want to say that there is something wonderful about this store, people who come will definitely tell you, and there are three wonders.
First, the taste is unique, is it delicious.
Second, there are a lot of rules, and they are weird.
Third, she is obviously a beautiful woman and a man in partial pretenses.
