Human affection is as thin as paper (2)

The family entered the house and sat down, Gu Li summoned the whole family up and down in the hall, and recognized Mu Qing one by one. In addition to Gu Li and his wife and the concubine Wan family, there is another brother, who is twenty-two years old, and the male of the same generation in the clan is six, and he is called Liulang. He is married to a family, and the Wang family also lives in this house. Mu Qing stepped forward to salute his brother and sister-in-law, and his brother returned the salute hastily, and his sister-in-law Wang knew at a glance that she was from a small family, with a little market atmosphere, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Mu Qing and Ah Liu, and even Ah Liu felt a little unhappy in her heart when she saw it, and she couldn't bear to bow with Mu Qingyi.

Another sister is married, and her husband's family is far away and she cannot see each other. While speaking, a **-year-old girl broke in, with big eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and a heroic spirit. Gu Li beckoned her to come over and see Mu Qing, she saluted stiffly in front of her, and at a glance, she knew that she was not used to saluting in Su Ri, clumsy, cute and cute. It was originally Wan's young sister, who didn't love Zhuhua girl red since she was a child, but she liked to dance with guns and sticks, and her grandfather met it by chance, and laughed that none of the children in the family could be dressed up, but this girl was the most similar to him, and on a whim, he gave a name called Yinghua.

That Gu Yinghua saluted, jumped up to Mu Qing, took her hand, and said loudly: "Sister is so beautiful." He turned to Ah Liu and said crisply, "Sister Ah Liu". Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Gu Li also said with a smile: "This time Qi Niang comes back, but I have to teach her some rules and etiquette." Yinghua stuck out her tongue at him, "It's not that my sister taught Yinghua rules, it's that Yinghua wants to protect my sister." After saying that, he turned around and ran out, and after a while, he ran back like a gust of wind, "Daddy, where does my sister live?" I'm going to clean up my sister's room. ”

Everyone laughed again, and Mu Qing's heart suddenly revealed some warmth that he hadn't felt for a long time, but the people in front of him were still strangers.

didn't allow her to have any feelings, Gu Li asked the servants and miscellaneous servants in the family to come and see them one by one. There are not many servants in this family, there are only five maidservants, and there are no more servants and coachmen, and many things must be done by the Wan family and the Wang family themselves. Gu Li was a little embarrassed who should be arranged to serve Mu Qing, Mu Qing thanked him, "You don't need to arrange people, I have Ah Liu to accompany me." ”

Seeing that Gu Li and his wife didn't know what to do, they had to make a long-term plan, Mu Qing stood up and asked Gu Li and his wife again, and carefully explained what he was going to say after being in his heart for a long time. "Father doesn't have to rush. The child will only stay at home for two months. ”

Gu Li's brows furrowed, and Chen's eyes widened in surprise. Although Mu Qing was a little ashamed to speak, seeing this, he hurriedly lowered his head and continued: "I have already discussed marriage in Yuhang, but because of the sudden funeral, I have never paid a ceremony. I am not a member of the Yuhang genealogy, and I am not bound by the lack of marriage in filial piety, but I think I should also go back to my hometown to show my parents. It was agreed that I would go back to Wu County to wait first, one was to show that my parents were in line with the etiquette law, and the other was to be educated, although I was not allowed to enter the Yuhang clan, and I should not discuss my relatives in the hot filial piety. After the forty-ninth day of the hot filial piety period, he came to the house to ask for marriage. ”

"Who is the man?" Gu Li still asked with a frown.

"Du Ling Du Jia Erlang, Du Keming." Mu Qing lowered his head and said softly.

Everyone in the room held their breath and had their own thoughts. Gu Li's brows suddenly loosened when he heard the four words of Du Ling Du's family, and soon there was a happy look in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. Ben was secretly annoyed in his heart that Mu Qing had been to Yuhang for ten years, and returned in vain, but he didn't expect to discuss such a family, like him, it was impossible to get close to someone like the Du Ling Du family, and then thought that he was so solemnly going to come to ask for marriage in person, and he would not just accept it as a concubine, although he didn't dare to think of being a wife, it should always be a concubine. Thinking like this, Gu Li couldn't help but secretly feel a little proud.

The Wang family was a little conflicted in her heart, on the one hand, she was jealous that Mu Qing could climb the high branches, and in the future, she would be able to stand high on the branches and overlook them, but in the end, she was just from the same background as her brother, and her luck was so good that people were jealous, which also made the Wang family feel unwilling. On the other hand, the sister-in-law climbed a high branch, and if she was close to her, she would always have no benefit. These contradictory thoughts made Wang's face look cloudy.

Chen, however, was one step further than they all thought. Before Mu Qing entered the door, someone inquired about the report, saying that she only returned with a maid and a coachman, and the outfit was simple, and there was not a single box. In the end, the biological daughter who had not been seen for more than ten years returned home, and the feeling of missing her daughter for a while suppressed this unhappiness. At this time, she heard that Mu Qing was going to leave the cabinet soon, and an idea that worried her came out of her heart, if Mu Qing wanted to leave the cabinet at home, she had to prepare a dowry for her, if she brought some assets back from Yuhang, it would be easy to do, but now that she returned empty-handed, wouldn't she have to post a copy upside down?

Gu Li came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and called someone to clean up a room in the east wing, Yinghua pulled Ah Liu with a smile, and shouted to go and see someone to clean up, "Sister Ah Liu is used to serving, so go with me, so let's see if the pick-up fits." ”

Chen also smiled again, took Mu Qing's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked about daily life. The Wang family also enthusiastically stepped forward to ask for warmth, praising Qi Niang's good looks, and the rules and regulations are good. The momentary affection made Mu Qing a little overwhelmed. It wasn't until after dinner that Mu Qing said that she was tired and asked her parents to allow her to go to rest earlier, and then they dispersed.

Ah Liu led her to the house that had just been cleaned up in the east wing, the house was still clean and tidy, all the furniture was complete, but the furnishings were simple, the place was not big, and it was not like the house she lived in before. In the past, Ah Liu always slept in the outer room, and there was no separation between the inside and outside in this room, so Ah Liu could only set up a slightly smaller couch next to Mu Qing's bed.

After some washing, Ah Liu put down the tent next to the bed, and Mu Qing lay on the bed, staring at the top of the bed in a daze. It was the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky was gloomy for a day, after nightfall, it rained, the air was diffused with moisture and a trace of wet and mildewy smell, the tent was still her usual bedding, familiar with the faint fragrance, closed her eyes as if she was still lying in the Yizhu courtyard in Yuhang, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a completely strange place. For no reason, I remembered the agarwood Buddha beads she wore on her wrist every day when she was by Mrs. Lu's side in the past, her chest was stuffy, her eyes were hot, and she quickly stopped again. No matter how much you cry, you can't get your mother back, but you can't get your mother back, but you can't ask Ah Liulao to persuade her again.

Turning over and looking at Ah Liu on the small couch on the other side, she didn't sleep well over and over, I'm afraid she wasn't used to it, I wanted to talk to her, but I saw that she slowly turned over and turned less, I was afraid that she was already asleep, Mu Qing had to close his eyes and listen to the rustling rain outside, until the second half of the night, he fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, as soon as the light was brightened, the sound of the rain stopped, and it was replaced by another sound, as if someone was walking around in the courtyard. Mu Qing got up and put on it, tied up his hair at will, wrapped a collar of plain silk, and pushed the door out. In the courtyard, a little girl in red was dancing a long sword, and when she saw Mu Qing coming out, she suddenly regained her momentum, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's so early, but Yinghua quarreled with you?" ”

Mu Qing stood under the corridor, watching her sweat dripping from the ends of her hair, and her little face was flushed, "Why, my sister thinks that Yinghua's sword dance is good-looking, and I can't help but come out to enjoy it, but my sister has disturbed you." ”

"No one likes to watch it on weekdays, but since my sister likes it, Yinghua will dance another set of better looks." After speaking, he smiled heartily and returned to the courtyard. Just after a few dances, Ah Liu also paced out to see, and the little girl in the courtyard couldn't help but make the long sword dance more similar.

Even Ada, who was squatting in the corner of the wall, squinted for a while, and when he saw her swinging her sword, he couldn't help but stand up and cheer.

"Xiao Niang is just like Qi Niang back then, innocent, unfettered, even her voice is like that, clear and clear." Ah Liu held it behind her and said quietly: "It's just that Qi Niang is weaker and more delicate, and she likes to read some books, which makes her more elegant and tranquil." When I grow up, I can't be so happy. ”

Mu Qing's heart twitched when he said this, and he only feigned anger on his lips: "This girl, who is so dignified, suddenly became sad again." Who can be young all the time? When I grow up, I will not be able to live without the happiness of my childhood? ”

Ah Liu smiled and nodded, vaguely feeling in her heart that today's Qi Niang seems to be different from the past. What was the difference, she couldn't say for a while.
