Chapter 257: Encounter Less Evil
Chapter 257 was molested
As she spoke, Lin Xianniang also turned back, and the family had a lively meal, and after sitting down briefly, they went back to their rooms to rest.
On the second day, early in the morning, Qiu Chen dug up Ah Fu and Aman, followed Qin Yong and Shen Hu to do a morning exercise, and after breakfast, he wore thick and solid, Ah Fu wore a bearskin jacket, a bearskin hat, gloves, scarves, and small leather boots. Aman is wearing a red fox fur cloak that has just been made, and the same fur hat, gloves and small boots, which are equipped, but they do not have the lightness of a fox, but they are fat and round like a big red round, plus a pair of big black eyes watery, very joyful, so that Lin Xianniang, who dressed her, hugged and kissed her several times.
Sending the two children out happily following Lin Xu out of the door, Qiu Chenmo turned around. Lin Xianniang caught up a few steps, took Qiu Chen's hand and smiled and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, with so many people following, Fu'er Man'er will be fine." ”
Qiu Chen was not used to being so close to people, so he turned around and smiled, "Well, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
And he said, "You're not going to the shop today?" ”
Lin Xianniang nodded: "Several people in the shop are very diligent, but my sister was just worried about it before, and now I see that the shop over there in the Iron Tower Temple is about to be cleaned up, and my sister has to learn to let go...... If I follow it every day, I can't tell two people! ”
Looking at Lin Xianniang, who was laughing and cheerful, Qiu Chen nodded with a smile, his mind turned, and said with a smile: "What the fifth sister said is very right...... Hey, it's not interesting for the two of us to be at home, so let's go wander around the streets and see if there are any new styles of clothing and jewelry......"
Lin Xianniang naturally had no objection, and agreed with joy on her face, sent Qiu Chen to the door of the main house, and hurriedly turned back to pack the clothes that went out.
Qiu Chen returned to the room, and some thoughts were not in place to let Chunxiang and Yuegui comb her hair again. I didn't sleep well last night, my face was a little dark, Qiu Chen looked at the face of the person in the mirror with slightly locked eyebrows, took a box of cream made of water fly pearl powder mixed with purple jasmine powder from the makeup, and slightly spread it on his face...... And he took it. Yuegui came over with the makeup box and asked Qiu Chen to choose jewelry.
I rummaged through the makeup boxes that were almost full unconsciously, and they were either jade or wood carvings, which were a little unsatisfactory...... Today, she has to relax, clean herself up, and make her mood brighter.
Close the first layer of the makeup box, open the second drawer, and a bright yellow beeswax hibiscus hairpin appears in front of you. Qiu Chen stretched out his hand and took it out, looked at it in front of him for a while, and finally put it back. This kind of thing is too ostentatious, with Lin Xianniang's stunning color, she is still lighter, and the impression that the appearance of the province is not enough to make up for the jewelry.
Closing the drawer on the second floor, Qiu Chen still turned back and chose a mutton fat white jade Ruyi cloud hairpin from the drawer on the first floor, put it in his hair, and stood up. Wearing a lotus-colored gray squirrel skin gown, a pine-colored embroidered wide skirt, and a lotus-colored jacquard velvet gray squirrel skin cloak handed over by Chunxiang, he brought a snow rabbit skin hand tube, and a very small copper hand stove was placed in the hand tube, which was neatly cleaned up.
Chen Shi watched from the side, and smiled slightly: "That is, Mrs. can wear such a plain color to bring out the taste." ”
was originally uncomfortable in his heart, but when Chen said this, Qiu Chen couldn't help laughing: "It's hard to praise Sister-in-law Chen, I'm so ordinary, and then I wear flowers and jade, then I really only see clothes and jewelry and can't see people!" ”
This remark made everyone laugh. Qiu Chen's mood was also much brighter in laughter.
Lin Xianniang changed into a bamboo blue shirt and begonia red skirt, and she was wearing a big red Dorodo cloak made for her by Qiu Chen last year, and only a golden hairpin was used in her hair, and the whole person was already so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Qiu Chen looked at it with a smile, smiled and took out a string of soybean-sized pink pearls from his makeup box and took out a beaded flower headdress, beckoning Chunxiang to Lin Xianniang to wear in her hair, the pink pearl light softly reflected Lin Xianniang's delicate appearance, which really reflected each other and added a little bit of beauty.
"A little girl of your age is not too plain, so she looks good with flowers." Qiu Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Xianniang blushed slightly and refused: "Sister-in-law, this pearl flower is too precious......
Qiu Chen didn't wait for her to finish, then patted her hand and interrupted: "Okay, don't be polite to me." Pack it up, let's hurry up, it's time for lunch! ”
Lin Xianniang agreed softly, no longer polite, and took Qiu Chen's hand and walked all the way out.
While walking, Qiu Chen pondered: "Let's go to Fuqian Street for a stroll, and we don't have to come back for lunch, just go to Yunzhongxian to eat." It's rare that there is nothing to do at home, just the two of us strolling around so leisurely, so we simply walked around for a while and bought back our family's clothes for the New Year this year. ”
Lin Xianniang naturally didn't have anything to do, she even agreed, followed Qiu Chen's footsteps out of the second gate, got into the carriage in the courtyard, and Erkui waved the whip and led the horse out of the gate of the Lin family and went towards Fuqian Street.
Qin Yong and Shen Hu both followed Ah Fu Aman, only Erkui drove the car, Chen and Yuegui followed, and the light car Jane went all the way to Fuqian Street, Qiu Chen sent Erkui to catch the car and went to Yunzhong Xianding's room first, and they walked around until noon.
The plague has passed, and even Yishui County and Hui County, which are the most severely affected, were put into lockdown half a month ago. Anyang City has changed from the previous cold and sparse, and the market has recovered, and the cars and people are bustling and lively.
Before getting out of the car, Chen handed over two hats: "Mrs. ......"
Qiu Chen reluctantly took the hat, put it on her head, and let Yuegui step forward to help her sort out the curtain of the hat, blinked, looked at the scene of the street market that suddenly blurred and hazy, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. This has a commandment, and it is necessary to pay attention to these at all times...... In the past, although I couldn't be arbitrary, I could always travel freely, and I could even relax a few times in men's clothes, but now, I have to wear this obstructive thing when I go out, which is really ......
Alas, that is, she complained in her heart, even if she knew that the Tao was such a result, she couldn't help but fight for it. If she and her children want to live peacefully and joyfully, and if they want to keep their bigger and bigger family business, they must have something to rely on...... This can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
Fortunately, this kind of trouble didn't last long, after entering the shop, the shopkeeper personally led the two into the small hall at the back, and sent the mother-in-law to come up to greet them, and Qiu Chen and the others also took off their hats.
In this way, after visiting two silk shops and two jewelry shops in a row, Qiu Chen selected a lot of clothes and a few sets of jewelry, and it was close to noon. The two put on their hats again and came out of the shop and walked all the way to Yunzhong Immortal Restaurant.
Although Qiu Chen rarely came out to eat, he was familiar with the cactus shopkeeper in the clouds, and the shopkeeper personally led Qiu Chen and Lin Xianniang to the private room facing the street on the third floor to sit. After taking off his hat, the young man quickly brought hot water up, and Chen and Yuegui waited for the two to wash their hands and sit down on the couch in front of the window.
This room was specially reserved by Yun Zhongxian for Yun Jichen and a few people who knew each other, and the layout was not like a standard restaurant, but more like the living room of a rich and noble family, and it was comfortable and comfortable everywhere in the rich and graceful. Although there is a low couch in the room, a warm box is placed under the collapse, and the warm warmth rises from under the couch, and the smoke cage placed in the four corners of the room makes the whole room warm, even in this season, the window is wide open, and it does not feel cold.
After sitting on the couch and drinking a cup of tea, Qiu Chen instructed Yuegui: "You go to see Erkui, let him eat at the bottom, don't have an empty stomach on a cold day." ”
He beckoned Chen again: "Sister-in-law Chen, you are also waiting, sit down and rest for a while, there is no one else here, don't care about those false courtesies, just eat together!" Their Eight Treasure Cloth Bag Duck in the Cloud Immortal is doing well, and there is also that crystal chest, Sister-in-law Chen will try it, let's learn to do it when we go back! ”
Chen didn't refuse, took the meal sent by the young man and put it on the table, moved a small table and put it under the bed, moved two drum stools with Yuegui and sat down, and ate lunch with them on the small table.
After lunch, Qiu Chen drank new tea and said to Lin Xianniang: "That's it for this trip, if you want to find something new, you have to go to Linshui Long Street." It's still early, let's just go over there and have a look! ”
Lin Xianniang agreed with a smile on her face, and Yuegui immediately got up and went downstairs to inform Erkui of the car.
Chen waited for Qiu Chen and Lin Xianniang to put on a cloak and a hat, and handed over the hand stove with new charcoal to Qiu Chen to hold, and then wanted to follow downstairs.
The shopkeeper personally picked it up at the staircase, and politely sent Qiu Chen and his party out, Erkui had already set up the car and waited at the door, Qiu Chen resigned from the shopkeeper, and was about to board the car with the support of Yuegui, three or four people came out of the Hula La in the Yunzhong Immortal Restaurant, all of them were dressed as bachelors with long straight scarves, and they were all about twenty years old, and they were all holding fans on a cold day, and the first gorgeously dressed person also shook the gold fan in his hand, while looking at Qiu Chen and Lin Xianniang with a smile and said: "Shout, which little lady is this, Such a bright person is so lonely and clear, and there is no one to follow to escort him, wouldn't it be difficult to meet a disciple? Why don't you let Xiao Ke be a flower messenger, I don't know what the two little ladies think? ”
Qiu Chen, who had already stepped on the footstool, paused, raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head, what is going on? This is the legendary prodigal son molesting a woman from a good family on the street?
For such a thing, Qiu Chen didn't feel afraid at all, but felt a little funny, such a classic scene actually made her meet...... It seems that this kind of prodigal is really indispensable everywhere.
"Hey, hey, Second Young Master Shang......" really let the Lin family lady be molested at the door of her hotel, and the shopkeeper didn't have to do it anymore. The cactus shopkeeper in the cloud hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice, "Second Young Master Shang, this is not a ...... who can be provoked casually."
The second young master of Shang was obviously arrogant, and looked at Qiu Chen and the people accompanying him very angrily, because he didn't want to listen to the verbosity of the fairy shopkeeper in the clouds, and interrupted with a grin: "What's the big deal?" The master has taken a fancy to them......"
How could the cactus shopkeeper in the clouds really let him say anything ugly, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "This is a third-grade lady who has just been sealed!" ”
Shang Ershao, who was about to struggle to shake off the cactus cabinet in the clouds, stayed for a moment, pulled away the hand of the cactus in the clouds, pulled the cactus cabinet in the clouds and turned around, and said in a low voice: "You're not bluffing me, are you?" Doesn't that say she's a widow? How can you be so smart......"
"Hey, Ershao, you are merciful, don't talk nonsense, you really provoke this ...... The little ones will also suffer and lose their jobs! The fairy shopkeeper in the cloud hurriedly stopped Shang Ershao, who was about to speak disrespectfully.
The two of them lowered their voices and muttered something, Qiu Chen didn't care, she pushed Lin Xianniang to get into the car first, she was one step behind and waited for the wheel, and when she was about to enter the carriage, she glanced back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Sure enough, the person hiding behind the crowd was actually Han Jingyu, who had lived in her house for a long time!
When he first ate and lived in the Lin family every day, Qiu Chen would always prepare the same study utensils as Lin Xu for every exam, and he would also prepare gifts when he went home...... At this time, seeing her being bullied, she actually shrank back and refused to show her face...... This person is really ......
Qiu Chen retracted his gaze, turned around and entered the carriage, Chen and Yuegui also followed closely and got into the car, Er Kui waved his horsewhip and drove the car all the way to the east of the city.
After getting into the car, Qiu Chen took off his hat as soon as possible, pursed his lips slightly and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out, and saw that Han Jingyu had already stood up straight and was looking at the carriage. The once cold and arrogant face is now full of obvious remorse and faint unwillingness.
Lin Xianniang whispered beside her: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry for this kind of person......"
Qiu Chen put down the curtain of the car, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't be like this kind of person who doesn't know four or six." There are two fewer merchants, I don't know which merchant Lu Dao is? ”
Lin Xianniang replied: "This person's sister has heard of it. The merchant is the richest man in Anyang that year, doing silk business, the first silk shop we went to just now is the merchant's, in addition to the Nancheng, Tieta Temple has a semicolon, it is said that there are also a few shops in Zhengding Mansion...... In the south, there are also their own mulberry field silkworm farmers and brocade workshops, and many of the silk and satin materials sold by their family are home-woven, with exclusive fancy patterns, and the profits are particularly rich......"
"Oh, just a rich businessman?" Qiu Chen was a little puzzled.
If it's just a rich businessman, according to Han Jingyu's arrogant temperament, he shouldn't be so careless, right?
"No, this merchant has been rich for three or four generations, and if he is just a merchant, these two young people can't be so arrogant. From the previous generation, the father of the second young man of the merchant and the second master of the merchant studied and became a scholar, and now he has become the governor of Zhengding Mansion, the generation of the merchant is not prosperous, and the eldest master of the merchant has a son, that is, the eldest young master of the merchant, who got a sudden illness at the age of twenty. Now there are two less merchants and one lone seedling left in the two rooms, and they are spoiled, so they have developed such a gentleman. Because the second merchant is strictly controlled, the second merchant does not like to go to Zhengding Mansion, and always follows the old lady and the old lady in the old mansion to mess around......"
"Oh, I see...... Qiu Chen nodded, and then smiled, "Although this second son of Shang is a little arrogant, it doesn't look too brainless......"
Lin Xianniang thought about the way the cactus shopkeeper in the clouds reached out to cover Shang Ershao's mouth just now, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, don't let my sister-in-law say that, I really haven't noticed...... This businessman can't say anything, but he is just eating, drinking, and having fun, fighting horses and dogs, not doing his job, and occasionally flirting with young women on the street...... I really haven't heard of any great evil. ”
Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, this second young man might be really interesting!
As he spoke, the carriage went out of the East City Gate, and soon stopped at the waterfront long street on the dock, Qiu Chen and Lin Xianniang also put aside the previous episode, put on a hat, got out of the car and walked all the way to the waterfront long street.
This way was more casual, Qiu Chen and the others walked around casually, and saw that the Huizhou South Goods Store was still open for business, and even the shopkeeper was sitting in the store to take care of the business, not only did his face look good, but he was even fatter than before, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't go in to bother again, and walked all the way with Lin Xianniang.
Looking at the sunset in the west, Qiu Chen was worried about Afu Aman in his heart after all, so he got into the car and went back.
After arriving home, Ah Fu Aman naturally did not come back, Qiu Chen freshened up, changed into home clothes, sat on the kang in the east room, took a book, but couldn't read it at all, only let people prop up the window, and glanced at the corridor leading to the front yard from time to time.
Finally, the sky was getting darker, and it was rumored that the second master came back with the little young master and young lady. Qiu Chen put down the book in his hand, didn't even bother to tie his skirt, got off the kang and his shoes, hurriedly took the cloak handed over by Yuegui, and hurriedly walked out to meet the mantle.
"Mother!"
"Mother......
Ah Fu's crisp call and Ah Man's glutinous and soft voice sounded from the second door, Qiu Chen's heart that had been lifting for a day suddenly fell into place, and a full smile suddenly bloomed on his face.
The children's voices are very cheerful, such a cheerful voice, they should have a lot of fun, and they haven't experienced anything bad!
Two small round little figures kicked and stomped over, Qiu Chen smiled and squatted down and opened his arms, and then the two children were thrown into his arms, holding the two children one by one, carefully looking at the children's faces, and seeing that the eyes of the two children were bright, the little faces were blown by the cold wind, red like a big apple, extremely cute, Qiu Chen hugged the two children, kissed and kissed one by one, and then got up, led one by one, smiled and greeted Lin Xu who followed in, "Second brother is tired!" Hurry back to your room to wash and change your clothes, it's time for dinner! ”
Compared to the carefree joy of the children, the smile on Lin Xu's face was obviously a little reluctant, and after listening to Qiu Chen's words, he agreed and went straight back to Erjin's residence.
Qiu Chen led Afu Aman back to the courtyard, Lin Xianniang also came out of the house, and the group entered the house, Qiu Chen personally took the two children to wash their hands and faces, took off their thick clothes, and carried them to the kang...... This series of work is done by themselves, without the hands of others, as if this can make up for the separation of mother and son for most of the day.
------Off topic------
The second watch will be sent at noon...... Whew, try to adjust......
