Chapter 40: Traveling (3)

"Miss Chu, you have a friend here, so Shen won't bother much." Shen Shixuan followed her line of sight, Qin Manqiu was looking here, looking back at her and smiling.

"Shen Gongzi walks slowly." Chu Yiyao watched him walk to the attic not far away, and when he turned around, Qin Manqiu had already approached, looked at Shen Shixuan's back, and teased, "Whose son, you don't wait for me to come down, is it possible to do it for him?" ”

"Second Young Master of the Shen Family, I happened to meet it." Chu Yiyao caught a glimpse of the teasing on her face, and said with a smile, "You haven't come back after going for so long." ”

"Who made the shopkeeper have a weird temperament, it only opens at night, and the shop is so far away, but this time it's lucky, you see what I bought!" Qin Manqiu took out a delicate brocade bag from his arms, opened it and poured out two beads, and he didn't know if it was the moonlight or the surrounding lights, the beads were also glowing.

"There's something in there." Chu Yiyao picked up the bead and shone it at the light, and found that the bright light came out of the bead, flashing and flashing.

"The shopkeeper said that he brought it back from southern Xinjiang, and it was a kind of Gu worm in southern Xinjiang, and this is a pair, you see, the closer they are, the brighter they are." Qin Manqiu walked away a few steps, the beads were really dim, if the two beads were together, it would be much brighter, and in the palm of his hand it was like two small balls to be soft together, warm.

"The shopkeeper said that these are all raised together in pairs, fed with special things, and when they grow up, they separate the pair in such beads, and they can only live for three years." Qin Manqiu also went to the reputation of the shopkeeper, the things in his shop are different every day, whether he sells or not depends on the mood of the shopkeeper, sometimes he will go to the empty, and there is nothing in it.

"I've heard that southern Xinjiang has open customs, and this is mostly for lovers." Chu Yiyao pretended to guess, "Let me think about it, who else is this pair going to give to?" ”

"Stinky girl, you know how to make fun of me, nay, there's another one for you!" Qin Manqiu's face flushed, he pinched her with a smile, took out another exquisite brocade bag from his arms, put one in it and stuffed it into her hand, "I see that you are only thinking of spring, I know that this is for lovers, this bead also has a name, called the Blessing Pearl, the Gu worms in it are all raised in the temple, and they are washed by the Buddha's light every day, which is the most pure, you keep it close to your body." ”

Chu Yiyao's eyes were moist, looking at Qin Manqiu's tough tone, the sourness couldn't help but bubble out, the hand holding the brocade bag trembled slightly, and there was Qin Manqiu's chatter in his ears, "It is said that it is raised in the temple, so it should still be able to avoid villains." ”

Chu Yiyao burst out laughing, the villain in Qin Manqiu's mouth was none other than Mrs. Qin for her.

"You've been around for so long, and you've bought these two beads?" Chu Yiyao raised her head slightly and withdrew her tears, put away the brocade bag, Qin Manqiu's expression froze, she could say that she had asked too much, and directly let the shopkeeper drive him out.

"I've never seen such a strange shopkeeper, who doesn't make money, and says that a guest can only buy one, and after I came out, I heard him tell his buddy, saying that he was in a good mood today, so he should close early! The nose file sucks the jacket and waits for a prayer to pray for a certain cricket of the family

"When you say that, I want to see it too." Chu Yiyao was also curious by what she described, there are many strange people and strange things in this world, and there is such an interesting shop in this small place in Guancheng, "You take me there tomorrow." ”

"Then I won't go in, you can go in by yourself when you get to the mouth of the alley." Qin Manqiu nodded, and took the two of them back to the restaurant.

Mrs. Qin was talking about her son-in-law, and when Chu Yiyao and the others went in, the words Bai Wangye appeared no less than three times, Qin Manqiu's face flashed with a touch of indifference, and he muttered softly, "I don't know, I thought my cousin was the princess of Bai Wangfu, and she also shouted out." ”

Chu Yiyao squeezed her hand, walked around the screen and walked into the house, Mrs. Qin smiled gently, and asked the two of them to sit down beside her, "I'm waiting for you, it's not too early to go back, and I will enjoy the lotus tomorrow." ”

What Mrs. Qin said was still unfinished, but isn't there still two days, the group went back to the Qin family's private house, and after washing, Chu Yiyao lay on the bed, and the two of them divided two quilts, Qin Manqiu looked at her sideways, not sleepy at all.

Chu Yiyao turned over, looked at her with wide eyes, and reached out to hold her hand on the quilt, "What do you think?" ”

"Yiyao, I'm a little scared." For a long time, Qin Manqiu said in the dark, Chu Yiyao didn't answer, and after a while, Qin Manqiu's voice sounded, "What kind of place do you say the Wang family is?" ”

"Where there are no jackals, tigers and leopards, it's the same as the Qin family." Chu Yiyao squeezed her hand tightly, "Brother Jiting will accompany you, Mrs. Wang is a good person to get along with, look at Jilin's stupid appearance, what's so scary." ”

"I just think it's a little strange after getting married." Qin Manqiu muttered.

In the dark, Chu Yiyao laughed, "I thought that Sister Qin, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, had nothing to worry about, it has been two years since this marriage, shouldn't you have been thinking about it all the time?" ”

"Nonsense, I just remembered it suddenly." Qin Manqiu turned over and tickled her, "Don't laugh at me, I'll wait for you to get married, see if you want to!" ”

"Anyway, I don't have what Sister Qin thinks about now." Chu Yiyao counterattacked twice, unable to resist Qin Manqiu's surging offensive, and finally begged for mercy.

Outside the house, Bao Sheng and Qin Manqiu's personal maid Xiaohuan kept vigil, listening to the laughter coming from the house, Bao Sheng showed a rare smile on his face, looking up at the sky outside the eaves There was still the crescent moon hanging in the sky, she still clearly remembered the scene of the young lady reaching out to cover the moon in the lake this night, and the young lady's expression was extraordinarily peaceful...

On the day, a group of people set off to enjoy the lotus, booked the attic on the lake, a private room on the first floor, you can see the scenery on the lake on all sides, the wind at the beginning of June is not the hottest, mixed with warmth throughout the attic, just need to raise your eyes to see, surrounded by a piece of lotus, very beautiful.

There were still people playing in the lake in small boats in the distance, and Chu Yiyao saw that the nearby attics were full of guests.

A voice came from the staircase, a woman who was about the same age as Mrs. Qin walked up with a young man, followed by a few maids, as soon as Mrs. Qin saw the woman, the smile on her face was thick, and then when she saw the young man behind her, a unique sharp voice sounded, "Mrs. Zhang, what a coincidence." ”

"It's still Ziling who saw you coming here, so I came uninvited." Mrs. Zhang sat down with a smile, and Mrs. Qin enthusiastically introduced Mrs. Zhang to Qiao Cong'an, and shouted to Chu Yiyao, "Yiyao, come here, this is the eldest lady of the Zhang family, this is the eldest lady of the Chu family." ”

"Mrs. Zhang." Chu Yiyao smiled and bowed to Mrs. Zhang, and Qin Manqiu on the side also shouted, and turned around and said to Mrs. Qin, "Mother, you chat, I'll go down with Yiyao for a walk." ”

"Ziling, you can also accompany Manqiu and them down for a walk, you don't need to accompany us here." Mrs. Qin immediately said to Zhang Ziling behind Mrs. Zhang, "Young people should go out for a walk more." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Zhang nodded and motioned for Zhang Ziling to go together, Qin Manqiu glanced at Zhang Ziling, pulled Chu Yiyao down first, and couldn't help muttering downstairs, "I don't know each other, how can he want to go together." ”

Chu Yiyao pursed his lips and smiled, and after he came down, the three of them were speechless all the way, and walked to the pavilion opposite, and when they were halfway there, Qin Manqiu couldn't help it, and looked back at him, "Young Master Zhang, do you have any friends here?" ”

"I don't have any friends in Sekijo." Zhang Ziling was slightly stunned, and then said, "This is also the first time I have come to Guancheng with my mother. ”

Qin Manqiu was a little unaccustomed to listening to his Luoyang tone, and what was even more depressed was that he couldn't understand what he meant, he didn't look at it at all, who asked him if he had any friends in Guancheng, she wanted to say, if you meet someone from Jinling, hurry up and get together with them, what is it to stay with the two of them.

The Zhang family is a businessman, and there is a scholar here in Zhang Ziling, what makes Mrs. Zhang proud is that Zhang Ziling has talent in this area, if Chu Yiyao is not mistaken, Zhang Ziling should go to Luoyang Academy in the second half of the year.

In fact, they didn't know much about each other, in their previous life, until the Zhang family wanted to come to the Chu family to hire a relative, they met twice, at first the second aunt tried her best to match, because she wanted to marry her out quickly, but after Zhang Ziling came back, everything was different, in the eyes of the second aunt, it was not another golden beetle son-in-law.

However, in Chu Yiyao's memory, the young master of the Zhang family is really not a good woman at all, and soon after marrying Miao Fei, he gave birth to a son, and Miao Fei did not have any more children after that, it is said that he still sleeps in separate rooms, not to mention that the backyard is a concubine room, and there is no room...

There was another silence, and after Zhang Ziling finished speaking, Qin Manqiu didn't know how to talk, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was very weird, until someone came over.

A person dressed as an entourage walked outside the pavilion and asked Baosheng if the eldest lady of the Chu family was here, Chu Yiyao raised his eyes, and the entourage sent a small food box, and said respectfully to Chu Yiyao, "Miss Chu, this is what our young master sent me over." ”

Chu Yiyao opened the food box, and a fragrance came out, and there was a plate of pastries in the food box, and it was still emitting heat, as if it was freshly baked.

There was also a letter next to the saucer, Qin Manqiu quickly snatched it, opened it and read it out loud, "Guancheng Three Uniques, lotus, sculpture and lotus cake, what are they?" Returning the letter to Chu Yiyao, Qin Manqiu picked up a piece and tasted it, and quickly nodded, "This Ren Yi is a pro-worm and a pro-cursor to buy a trade bath!"

"This is the most delicious lotus root cake made in the whole Guancheng." The entourage had some pride in his words, and he didn't know if it was for this lotus cake or for his young master, Chu Yiyao looked at the strong words, raised his head and asked with a smile, "Thank you for me, your young master." ”

The entourage quickly left, and Qin Manqiu on the side leaned next to her and asked, "Tell me quickly, whose young master sent it!" ”

"I don't know, and I don't have a signature here." Chu Yiyao looked at her innocently, and the letter wrote the three uniques of Guancheng, and there was nothing except good words.

"Chu Yiyao!" Qin Manqiu pinched her and shouted, "Okay, you stinky girl, I don't know if you still said thank you for your young master, you still lied!" ”

"Sister Qin, whether you know it or not, you have to say thank you when someone else sends something over, right?" Chu Yiyao looked at the delicate pastries made and recalled Shen Shixuan's sworn expression last night, and the smile on his face was even worse...

The author has something to say: Sister Qin is definitely a good best friend, there is wood~
