Sure enough, she saw the back door in the corner open, and then outside the door, she saw Qin Yong waiting with Rouge.

When she got here, Qiu Chen hadn't seen anyone who needed her to see, so she stopped and looked at Qin Li.

Qin Li immediately smiled and said, "Madam, Master Hou is waiting for you at the entrance of the village!" ”

"Oh...... Isn't your Hou Ye still suffering from injuries? Qiu Chen suddenly wanted to scold his mother, this person pretends to be a ghost every day, but he always likes to do this kind of game on the blade, in order to avoid self-injury several times in a row, doesn't he know the way, running around like this will attract the impeachment of the official and the reproach of the monarch?

Qin Li couldn't answer this, so he could only laugh a few times to deal with it. Seeing him like this, Qiu Chen couldn't continue to say anything, Qin Li and Qin Yong had been following her all the time, and there might be small movements, but they did their best to her and the children without discounting, and she couldn't embarrass them for other people, besides, their identities were here, and they couldn't stop someone from doing what they wanted.

With a pouting mouth, although Qiu Chen's face was still not good-looking, he reached out to take the reins from Qin Yong's hand, and then took a black cloak handed over by Qin Yong and draped it on his body, covering his face with his head, and instructed Qin Li and Qin Yong: "Take care of the family!" ”

Then, after getting Qin Li and Qin Yong's promise, Qiu Chen clamped the horse's belly between his legs, controlled the horse from the hillside to the east, bypassed the school and playground, and went down the hillside after staying away from the Lin family compound, and cut it diagonally from the field path, and rushed straight to the entrance of the village.

It's such a toss on the big night, someone better give her a convincing reason!

Two quarters of an hour later, Qiu Chen sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage, looking at someone with no image opposite by the dim yellow light of the glass lamp above his head, and took a sip of tea in discouragement.

"Oh, I said Mrs. Lin...... Oh, no, it's Yang Shuren, if you say a word, I will be sent to learn how to burn glass with you, this day and night from the capital in a hurry, the upside down is about to fall apart, and I haven't eaten yet...... "Tang Wenyong chirped crookedly.

Qiu Chen glanced at him very unceremoniously, and said lightly: "There is an inn when you are tired, and a restaurant when you are hungry...... Could it be that Tang Gongzi is so shy that he can't even take out the small money for eating in the hotel? ”

"Uh......" Tang Wenyong was choked and fell down, stared at someone in the clay sculpture and wood carving next to him in a blink of an eye, and regained his smiling face and said, "What, aren't we friends?" I'm going to my friend's house, so how can I stay out and eat? Let people know that I don't have any money, I'm afraid that people will say that my friend is not interesting enough, and I will smear my friend's face, right? ”

Qiu Chen had already tried to calm down his emotions at this time, and after listening to Tang Wenyong's words, he simply hung his head and drank tea and ignored it. I'm salty with shrimp paste for dinner tonight, and I'm thirsty at this time! In other words, Tang Wenyong is a person who doesn't speak in tune, but his life is very particular, and this tea is obviously better than the so-called Ming Qian Longjing that she bought for dozens of taels of silver...... The buds are tender and the soup is clear, and the air is like a quiet orchid...... Well, look at the buds floating and sinking in the clear tea soup, if it is replaced by a good glass, it should be another artistic conception!

Tang Wenyong, who was ignored, finally ran out of skills, scratched his head with a smile, got up and got out of the car: "In this case, I will go first...... Oh, I'm tired and hungry, hurry back, wash and eat! ”

After Tang Wenyong's words, after a sound of horses' hooves outside the car, silence quickly returned.

Someone who has been acting as a wood carving clay sculpture, who has not made a sound since Qiu Chen got into the car, finally spoke: "This trip to Beijing is by order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen, who maintained non-violent and non-cooperation, raised his head suddenly, stared at the man opposite for a long time, and didn't see any clues on the other party's wooden face, and exhaled angrily: "Since it is by order, why not ...... generously?"

"Secret Decree!" Qin Zheng cherished the words like gold, and gently spit out two words, successfully dispelling Qiu Chen's continued chatter.

Well, Qiu Chen decided not to say anything about this issue anymore, and instead said businesslikely: "Is there anything wrong with you calling me out?" ”

Qin Zheng looked at the awkward woman opposite, exhaled helplessly, held her hand on the small table, and without waiting for her to react and struggle, he said solemnly: "I have something to discuss with you." ”

Qiu Chen, who was holding his hand abruptly, was about to withdraw his hand, when he heard Qin Zheng's solemn words, he was successfully diverted, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"You say, I'll come to propose marriage tomorrow, will I come to Liujiaao, or will I go to Yang's shop?" Qin Zheng asked very solemnly.

Qiu Chen didn't react for a while, staring at the solemn face in front of him for a long time, before finally finding his voice: "You came to the door to propose?" To whom? ”

After asking, Qiu Chen subconsciously didn't want to stop: "Is it Qin Li or Qin Yong?" My two girls ......"

Qin Zheng smiled in frustration, his hands tightened, and he successfully made a chattering woman stop talking, and his eyes turned back to meet his eyes, and then he smiled: "I am still a singleton, where can I take care of those boys." ”

After saying this, Qin Zheng straightened his face again, looked at Qiu Chen and said, "I want to ask you to marry me!" ”

This sentence is extremely solemn, and it is impossible to ignore the sincerity of the speaker, but shouldn't a marriage proposal be an inquiry? Why, although this person said that it was a request, he did not mean to ask for opinions at all, and he used a declarative sentence!

A thought that was unrelated to the wind and horses flashed in his mind, and then he gathered his mind, also straightened his color, and said: "Qi Dafei, I must have heard of Hou Ye, I am just a Zhuang woman, and I am such an identity, I really don't dare to have any thoughts about Hou Ye." I hope that Hou Ye will not talk about this kind of thing in the future. ”

After speaking, Qiu Chen calmly withdrew his hand, got up, no longer looked at Qin Zheng on the inside of the car, and turned straight out of the carriage.

Qin Yi and the others, who were standing not far from the carriage, were slightly surprised when they saw Qiu Chen walking out of the carriage, but they did not hesitate to hurry forward and wait.

Qiu Chen stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, barely squeezed out a smile to thank Qin Yi, took a deep breath, put the hood on his head tight, and walked straight towards Rouge.

"Yikes!" As soon as he took two steps, Qiu Chen's waist tightened, his feet involuntarily rose off the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person had been taken on horseback.

She only had time to let out a soft cry, and the person was already being embraced and galloped out of the horse!

Being hugged in his arms and sitting on the horse's back like this, completely losing the ability to control himself, which is completely different from the feeling of being in control of everything on horseback, Qiu Chen subconsciously reached out and grabbed the placket of the person behind him, and the other hand groped and grabbed the horse's long mane.

It didn't matter, the big black horse had a pain in his neck, spread his hooves, and galloped away along the road.

I don't know how far I ran, but when the big black horse finally ran out of strength and gradually slowed down the speed of running, Qiu Chen, who was bumped, heard someone whispering in his ear to comfort him: "Come, let go of the horsehair, I will protect you, I won't let you fall!" ”

Grabbing the horse's mane for a long time, Qiu Chen's fingers also stiffened, and when he heard this, he subconsciously moved his fingers to release the horse's reins. The big black horse sighed and called out, as if he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The horses under him no longer galloped irritablely, and Qiu Chen gradually relaxed his body, trying to regain his sanity and calmness.

Moving his body as hard as he could, Qiu Chen said lightly: "Raiding women in the middle of the night...... This is the way of life of Marquis Qin? ”

Qin Zheng showed a wry smile helplessly, held the reins of the horse with one hand, and at the same time hugged someone's arm tightly, and then said: "There is no provision in the Ming law that does not allow husbands to travel with their wives, right?" ”

Qiu Chen froze, dodged to the side, and raised his eyes to stare at him. Without waiting for her to speak, Qin Zheng said again: "Lantern Festival, let's watch the lanterns and guess the riddles together...... Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, I came from the capital to accompany you to enjoy the lanterns...... Shhh, don't talk, listen to me, I have already taken care of my return to Beijing this time, and I have come to propose marriage to you and marry you! ”

If Qiu Chen could still respond with righteous words just now, there was no way to say such things at this time. Qin Zheng's sentence on the Lantern Festival just now reminded her of Guo Huai'an, the shopkeeper of the Guo family's Jishitang at that time, who had mistaken her relationship with Qin Zheng...... And in order to avoid saying too much and making too many mistakes, she did not deny it at that time......

Is this man reminding himself that he has already acquiesced?

Pondering silently, the horses walked slowly, and a street of houses in front of them gradually loomed into the dim night.

Approaching the market, the lanterns in front of the taverns and inns on both sides of the street emitted a group of lights, and the sound of the market gradually increased, and it gradually became noisy and prosperous.

Qiu Chen turned his head in surprise to look at more and more vendors and pedestrians, and listened to the people behind him: "Today's Qixi Festival, Linqing Town is adjacent to the canal, chokes the water and land roads, the market is densely populated, and the merchants who come and go from the south to the north also bring the customs of their hometowns. And...... The shops on the long riverside street will hang lights for pedestrians to enjoy. Many people will come to the river to put on the lights. ”

What Qin Zheng said about proposing marriage made Qiu Chen a little absent-minded, but when she was carried by Qin Zheng and jumped off the horse, her stiff muscles and bones and sore body were active, and she was finally attracted by the bustling voices of the city around her, and turned her head to look at the river next to her, like a river full of lights falling from the galaxy for nine days, and decided to put her worries away for the time being.

It is said that since she came to this era, she has taken care of her reputation everywhere, and she has really not been so relaxed to come out to play a few times.

Now that you've come to this, it's a rare opportunity, so let's play and relax!

Walking all the way along the riverside long street, Qiu Chen didn't care about the strange combination of his homely dress and the man behind him who was still holding the horse, he just relaxed his mood, enjoyed all the way, and also exchanged the silver ear tips on his ears for a beautiful river lamp at a stall selling river lanterns, and borrowed the stall owner's pen and ink to write his prayers on the lamp, and then put it into the river.

Walking out of the small Linqing Town, the voice of the city was left behind, Qiu Chen finally spoke: "Lord Qin, ......

"I want you to call me Liansheng!"

"Uh...... All right! Qiu Chen paused for a moment, agreed kindly, and continued, "Lian Sheng, I don't know why you want to propose marriage to me...... But for me to say yes, you have to promise me one thing first......"

"Good!" Without waiting for Qiu Chen to say anything, Qin Zheng agreed without hesitation.

Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at the man who still had a straight face, but his expression was obviously much softer than usual, and continued: "I didn't think about climbing the power and attaching nobles, but since you are asking for it now, then I might as well tell you bluntly, I can't tolerate my husband and other women besides me, concubines, intercourse, or even acting outside." I am not a virtuous person, and I will naturally treat each other wholeheartedly when I promise to marry, and I also hope that my husband will be able to keep me alone. Of course, if you can't do this, then I can assume that I haven't heard what you just said. If you claim to be able to do it, please write me a letter of resignation! ”

Qin Zheng listened quietly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slowly pick up.

He was really not mistaken, the woman who could say what he wanted in his heart so generously was probably the only one in front of him in the world. On the other hand, there are countless women, whether they are high-ranking or deep, or they are small jasper, who does not pretend to be virtuous and virtuous, and even take the initiative to arrange women for men, but they don't know that they are ruthless and vicious in private.

It's just that Qin Zheng, who was listening to the woman's words with doting appreciation, was still taken aback when he suddenly heard a harsh word!

Leave the book? She can't be delirious, right? He asked her for marriage, why did she mention the letter of resignation first?

"Leave the book?" Subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Hmm." After talking at this time, Qiu Chen didn't have any psychological burden, and said calmly, "Yes, I'm not a virtuous person, you may be able to agree to all my requests at this time, but what will happen in the future, no one knows what will happen." Well, you listen to me! ”

Blocking Qin Zheng, who wanted to speak, Qiu Chen ignored the other party's depressed face and continued: "You don't have to say a word about a gentleman...... Rather than you uphold the way of a gentleman and hate each other with me, it is better to be frank. I want to be in love with each other, but I don't want to respect each other like ice! In this world, there is no need for women to divorce men, so I can only retreat and ask you to write a letter of divorce for me first. The reason is that it is good to be jealous! When the time comes, I can invite myself to go to court, and I will save myself from turning my face into an enemy! ”

Qin Zheng gagged and couldn't speak for a long time.

After Qiu Chen finished what he was going to say, his mood was completely relaxed, he turned around and smiled faintly at Qin Zheng, who had an ugly face, reached out and took out a brush and a plain white handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed them to Qin Zheng with a smile.

"Either you write a letter of resignation, or send me back here, and you don't have to mention anything about courting you again!"

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the poorly made brush and plain white silk handkerchief that almost reached the tip of his nose, and his face was cold and almost frozen. He finally realized why the woman suddenly asked for his help when the river lantern was released...... It turned out that she took the opportunity to buy a brush from the river lantern stall owner!

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng raised his eyes, and sure enough, the silver earplug that was supposed to leave one was gone.

A pair of silver earbuds were replaced with a river lamp and a bald pen that were worth less than ten dollars...... It seems that it has been calculated a long time ago. Thanks to his detached face, his face was sad and joyful, and he was always nervous!

Seeing that he was silent and didn't mean to take the brush, Qiu Chen smiled, threw the brush away, turned around and took the reins of the big black horse from him, recognized the stirrup and got on the horse, and said condescendingly: "Thank you Lord Hou for your enthusiasm to take the little woman to enjoy the lantern cruise in the river, it's getting late, my family is worried, and let me take the first step!" ”

Qin Zheng had a gloomy face, staring at the woman who was smiling and talking, and before her words fell, he reached out and pressed the horse's back, and the person had already landed lightly behind Qiu Chen, and the horse's reins immediately changed hands.

Then Qiu Chen felt a big hand on his back...... The temperature of the hot palm came through the thin summer shirt, making her body stiffen instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.

"Don't move...... I'm done! Qin Zheng's low voice that couldn't hear the joy and anger came from behind, making Qiu Chen, who had just wanted to move, stop moving.

In a moment, a ball of soft fabric was stuffed into Qiu Chen's hand, and then the man behind him controlled the horse's reins, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and shouted, "Sit tight...... Drive! ”

The night was dark, Qiu Chen only knew that what he stuffed into his hand was a piece of cloth, and he could vaguely see some handwriting on the light-colored cloth, but he didn't understand for a while, she obviously lost the brush, what did Qin Zheng use to write?

Also, what did he write? Is it really a divorce? It's so dark, she can't look at it!

With confusion, he galloped all the way, but after more than half an hour, Qiu Chen returned to the back door of the Lin family's backyard again.

Qin Li and Qin Yong seemed to have been waiting here, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng had just stopped outside the back door on the same horse, Qin Li and Qin Yong appeared from the dark shadow at the door, and bowed his hand respectfully: "Master Hou, madam!" ”

Qin Zheng replied lightly, and Qin Li and Qin Yong took two steps back and stood solemnly.

Then, Qin Zheng turned over and jumped off the horse, and casually hugged Qiu Chen off the horse.

Helping her to stand firmly on the side of the horse, Qin Zheng looked at the woman who was a little sleepy and tired, and her hair was a little messy because of the gallop of the horse, and suddenly a strong tenderness was born in her heart. She wants to quit her book because she is afraid, and she follows her wishes, and when she understands her true temperament in the future, she will naturally not have any ridiculous thoughts of inviting herself to the court!

relaxed his expression, silently looked at the silent woman in front of him, raised his hand for the first time, cut her messy sideburns, and whispered in a soft voice that he didn't even pay attention to: "Second Brother Yang and the children at home only know that you have fallen asleep, and no one knows that you are going out with me, so you can go back with confidence." Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the door! ”

Qiu Chen clenched the fabric in his hand in a daze, and returned to his room in a daze. Sure enough, only Chen hurriedly greeted him.

"Madam, the little young master and the cousin young master both followed the second uncle to rest in the second entrance." Chen greeted Qiu Chen into the house and whispered.

Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed Chen Shi to the ear room, and when he passed by the east room, he subconsciously stopped by the lamp, and then slowly opened his hand...... A plain white cocoon silk handkerchief in her hand was crumpled by her, but the crimson handwriting on the plain white fabric made her change color instantly!

------Off topic------

Is this considered the dust settled......
