Chapter 463: The West
Zhang Yunfeng's plan, Xiaohu originally didn't plan to let Qingzhu know. Later, I thought that Qingzhu was already an adult, and he should tell him what kind of person his mother was now. After seeking the consent of the eldest uncle and aunt, she wrote a letter to tell Qingzhu in detail about Zhang Yunfeng and her future man's plans. Qingzhu, who was far away in the west and was in charge of the family's responsibilities, finally received the shock given to him by his own mother.
He came back from walking around outside, and when he passed through the second gate and was about to go into the backyard to report to the little aunt about today's inspection, he finally leaned on the place of the second gate, and he urgently needed to calm his mind now.
Ah Jing's skeleton is small and meaty, and she feels a little fleshy, but the image is very delicate. In winter, when I was slightly covered by a coat, I couldn't tell that this was a pregnant woman with a big belly. Her demeanor is also very flexible, unlike the clumsy of ordinary pregnant women. She played with her son Wen Zhong for a while, and when she saw that there was a layer of fluffy fine sweat on her son's forehead, she raised her head and told Runqin to take a towel to wipe Wen Zhong.
Runqin, who went to the bathroom next door to wash the towel with hot water, came back when he saw the little master of Qingzhu leaning on the door panel of the second door and was stunned, looking thoughtful, and a little curious. Returning to the hall where the children were playing, he wiped Wen Zhong's sweat and said to Ah Jing: "Madam! The little master of Qingzhu doesn't know if he has encountered something difficult, and he is in a daze at the second gate! Would you like to check it out? ”
Xiaohu only wrote to Qingzhu about Qingzhu's mother, and did not let anyone else know, including Xiaolong who was far away in the frontier and Ah Jing in the mansion. Therefore, Ah Jing listened to Runqin's words and didn't know what happened to Qingzhu. I was also surprised.
"There's nothing going on at home! Could it be that when I went to check the academy and the nursing home on my behalf, I met someone who didn't have long eyes and collided with him? You and Moshu are looking at the two children, I'll go out and have a look! ”
Ah Jing ran to the second door corridor in a panic. Seeing Qingzhu leaning on the side of the door with a sad face, quietly looking at a decades-old persimmon tree in the yard, not moving. Ah Jing was frightened, this nephew should not be wronged by her, otherwise the master would definitely have to complain that he did not take good care of his nephew.
She hurriedly approached Qingzhu and asked softly, "Qingzhu!" But who made you ugly? ”
Qingzhu is deeply trapped in the huge impact of the family affection given by his mother, and he can't extricate himself, with sadness, sadness, and confusion. He struggled inside. But it didn't show it on his face, he just stared stupidly at a stubble on the persimmon tree. No one in his heart can understand it except himself, and he is falling into a sad family collapse. Suddenly, I heard someone talking, and I woke up suddenly. She looked at the little aunt blankly and asked, "Did the aunt talk to me?" ”
Ah Jing frowned and asked Qingzhu worriedly: "Qingzhu!" What happened? You look bad! But someone in the academy has embarrassed you? ”
It's not easy to tell his aunt about his mother, Qingzhu shook his head. "No, it's not! Aunt. It's a bit annoying to have something at home, and I'm stunned when I think about it. ”
"Another letter from my hometown? Did they say when they would come? "Ah Jing is very educated, Qingzhu didn't take the initiative to say anything to her, she wouldn't ask uninterestingly, even if Qingzhu is the nephew of the younger generation, she will respect the child's meaning.
Qingzhu's previous discomfort was actually just his self-imagining of sad and sad feelings, but in fact, he was not close to his mother at all. When he was very young, he secretly hoped that his mother would come to see him. At that time, my grandmother's house was very close. But his own mother never went back to see him once, even secretly. More than ten years have passed. There was no shadow of his own mother in his memory, but when he saw that his mother was not doing well, out of the kindness of his nature, he gave his mother money and material help without thinking. If you really want to say that you have a deep relationship with your mother, it is nonsense and hypocrisy. For more than ten years, the second aunt has raised him like Wen Chao and Wen Yue as her own son, and in his heart she is more like a mother. Therefore, as soon as the little aunt interrupted like this, she lost his previous mind of saying that she was worried, and suddenly she felt so bored.
I didn't say a specific day, I just said that I couldn't walk away until my second aunt gave birth to my little sister. I estimate that it will be February or March next year! Qingzhu shrugged, and followed the little aunt to the inner courtyard indifferently. He is a junior, Ah Jing has never forbidden him to go into the backyard, speaking of which, there are several secret guards in the backyard, one in the east and one in the west! How can it really completely prohibit men from entering!
Ah Jing saw her nephew's relaxed face, where was there still a little sad and cold! I put it down, and it seems that there is nothing big in the family. I can't say that someone in my hometown wants to say goodbye to him, which makes him annoyed, right?!
"That's right! Qingzhu, how can the eldest sister of the same family meet you by chance? ”
Qingzhu's face turned red all of a sudden, "Little aunt! I wouldn't have told you what had happened before. The reputation of other girls is very important, and if you always joke like this, it will kill people! ”
Ah Jing can tease him like this, and it is indeed Qingzhu's own sin.
When He Tongzhi heard that Qingzhu had finally arrived, he hurriedly asked Mrs. He to take her eldest sister to visit and walk, and the intention was to let the two young people meet. It's just that I didn't expect the eldest sister to like the tall and thin Qingzhu as soon as she saw Qingqinglang, but Qingzhu didn't go to see other girls at all. When Mrs. He's mother and daughter left, when Ah Jing asked Qingzhu how she felt about the eldest sister of the He family, Qingzhu was confused. Ah Jing remembered that she hadn't told this nephew that the He family wanted to marry him, and she couldn't help but laugh and tell the He family's intentions. Qingzhu didn't refuse, but said that it was best to meet the eldest sister of the He family if he had the opportunity.
Even Ah Jing didn't expect that Mrs. He would be so attentive to Qingzhu, as soon as she heard that Qingzhu didn't notice the eldest sister last time and wanted to see her again, she immediately asked her eldest sister to help in the offering hall, pretending to inadvertently bump into Qingzhu who checked on behalf of her aunt every day. As soon as Qingzhu came back, he told the little aunt about it, and later saw the eldest sister of the He family in the offering hall a few times, and also exchanged a few words. Qingzhu is just like when she was at the second aunt's house. I never hide my own affairs, and I always tell my little aunt clearly. Who knows, the little aunt is a narrow ghost. Now every day when I come back, I have to ask ridiculously: "Did you meet the eldest sister of the He family again today?" ”
Qingzhu only felt that he was really doing too much, and he would actually hand over his own bottom with the little aunt who was better than Uncle Xiaolong's tricksters?! Isn't this an obvious pastime for the little aunt to be idle and have nothing to do!
Ah Jing smiled and shook her head and said, "Okay! If you don't say it, you don't say it! Ay! Grandma Wen Zhong, why aren't they in a hurry? I won't be able to come over until February or March next year, and I'm in a hurry to think about it. And oh! Why does it feel weird, why are you not in a hurry and I'm in such a hurry? ”
As they spoke, they walked as they spoke, and before they knew it, they had reached the door of the hall. Runqin and Moshu, who were carrying children inside, shook their heads amusefully when they heard Mrs. 's words. I was speechless.
Qingzhu also shook her head with sour teeth, this aunt is estimated to be the least like the elders among all the elders in the family, and she is really a perfect match for the little uncle.
Wen Zhong saw Brother Qingzhu. Jumped up all of a sudden, "Brother! Kickball! "It's the nature of boys to play vigorous running in the wild, and it's really not something they can play with in the house.
This ball is actually the ancestor of world football, and it has been many years since Keju arrived. And the bow ball is becoming more and more refined. Most of them are sewn from cowhide. Since the addition of some of Erya's pattern designs. This ball is even more popular with children. The Keju movement also caused a lot of frenzy in the Damin Dynasty, especially the Hepu Town School also set up a bow team, and the competition after school every night made the big playground full of adults and children. At dinner, the mothers-in-law had to shout and scream again and again to invite them back.
There are Xiaolong and so many children in Lanzhou Mansion, of course, it is impossible not to have the sport of bowing. No matter how big the front yard of the mansion is, there is no way to make a juju playing field. But the boys must not be idle if they have no place to keju, so Xiaolong made a bow court in the front yard that was several times smaller, and let three or five for a team take turns to juju. Wen Zhong grew up watching the big brothers and little uncles grab a small ball back and forth from the time he was in his arms. That's why I'm more enthusiastic about Kemari sports. In the past, there was a father who took him to kick around in the open space in the backyard. Daddy kicked him and ran after the ball. Enjoy it as much as you can. Later, when his father was not at home, no one took him to bow, which made him cry several times, but his mother just ignored him.
However, since Brother Qingzhu came, someone accompanied him to bow in the backyard. This time, he can kick the ball far, far away, and there will be Brother Qingzhu to kick the ball back for him, which is much more fun than running after the ball by himself. The more he played, the more addicted he became! The son of the ink calligrapher could only watch from the side, because he ran back and forth, and he always couldn't grab the ball, and he knew that he was crying with his mouth wide open when he was in a hurry. Where did Moshu dare to let his son disturb the two little masters playing with ball, he could only circle his son in his own small range, either watching others kick or playing with his own small toys.
Ah Jing sat at the door and watched her son play ball very happily, giggling from time to time, remembering that when her master was playing football with her son at home, she couldn't help but think of her master.
Even if her lord knew that she missed him, he would not come back for the New Year. The wall of the city outside the border city has been built to a height of almost one zhang, and because of the freezing, the cement cannot be used, so the work is temporarily suspended. The walls didn't continue, but they had other things they could do that weren't affected by the ice, such as brick flooring and setting up countertops for displaying merchandise.
Seeing that the prefect of the king ordered people to build a lot of platforms that were almost three feet high and two feet wide, Xiao Zongbing was very incomprehensible, so he had to ask: "The prefect of the king!" Why are you building so many platforms? The land here is dry, and the merchant's goods can be placed directly on the ground. ”
Xiaolong shook his head and replied to him: "That is too chaotic, there will be many drawbacks, which is not conducive to future management." These platforms erected by the official were to be numbered, and all the merchants had to receive numbers and place their goods in the corresponding platforms for trading. In this way, one will help us investigate and deal with smuggling and collect fees, the second will help us quickly find out the profiteers who have committed fraud and deducting money from other illegal acts in the transaction, and third, it will prevent thieves, rogue bandits, and scouts from other countries from fishing in troubled waters and doing things that are not conducive to the mutual market. ”
Mr. Xiao nodded, although his face quietly showed that he understood, but in fact, he admired it in his heart. The more books he reads, it's different, and when he was still having a headache about how to do a good job in such a big market commodity trading in the future, people had already figured out how to do it. And it sounds so simple and easy that he can't accept it. (To be continued.) )
