Chapter 589: Homecoming?
Seeing his wife's expression, Qin Zheng knew that his wife had probably guessed something, and the reason why he didn't ask was just because he was afraid that there would be some taboos, and if he asked, it would bring him unnecessary trouble. In some things, the wife is more careful and cautious than he is.
How much his wife is looking forward to returning to her hometown, Qin Zheng knows. It was because he knew his wife that he did not deserve joy when he heard the news of his return to his hometown...... I couldn't help but sigh softly, every man wants to marry a smart and understanding wife. But at other times, a wife who is too empathetic and too smart will make you feel too stressed.
Qiu Chen understood very well in her heart, and because she understood, she didn't ask anything, nor did she refute, she only lowered her eyes, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Since it's only ten days and half a month, why are you in a hurry to send their mothers away? I've been there for a few years, where can I wait for ten days and half a month?
Then he explained: "Don't be afraid, you go first, just wait for me in Anyang, I will follow you in only ten days and a half months......
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at his wife, reached out to clasp his wife's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I still have some things after the New Year, and I can't be with you for the time being." ”
Turning her head and looking at Qin Zheng, she tried to calm her voice and asked, "Aren't you with us?" ”
But when she suddenly heard the news that she had been waiting for a long time, Qiu Chen was not happy, but surprised, and then her heart jumped uncontrollably. Inexplicably, she had some bad premonitions that something big was about to happen.
After giving birth to Brother Yun, she was still worried about the corn and sweet potatoes on the Zhuangzi, but after giving birth to triplets, she was a little dazed, and it seemed that everything she could think of had been done, and she didn't know what to do for a while. She doesn't even have to nurse her three children, she doesn't need to take them, there are nurses and grandmothers, she really lives the life of a noble lady in this era, dealing with the affairs of the house every day, asking about the shops and workshops everywhere, and then occasionally asking about the situation in the Zhuangzi...... Year after year, day after day, tedious and boring chores drown youth and drown out the best times......
Since marrying into the capital for three years, I have been nesting in such a small courtyard almost day and night, and going out of the city to Zhuangzi has become a wind. Qiu Chen was naturally looking forward to being able to leave the capital, return to Anyang, go to Jiangnan to take a walk, and while having a relaxing time, he also pondered what to do next.
"......" pursed his lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, Qin Zheng spoke, "I told King Yong today, after the New Year, you will take the children back to Anyang after the New Year." ”
Shangkang lay down on the outside, and Qin Zheng also leaned on a pillow half-sitting and half-lying, looking at his wife and patting the position beside him. Qiu Chen smiled, put down the book in his hand, leaned over softly, snuggled into his arms, and leaned on his chest.
Qin Zheng came out of the clean room after washing, Qiu Chen was already on the kang, the quilt was pulled over to cover the lower half of his body, and he was reading a book by leaning on a big pillow.
Qin Zheng looked down at his wife, who looked happy and satisfied, and was a little naughty and naughty, couldn't help laughing, shook his head, didn't say anything, reached out to take his wife in his arms, and turned around and walked out of the West House.
Qiu Chen also followed her husband's gaze and looked back, and just saw Chang'er smashing her mouth, as if she was dreaming of eating something good, and couldn't help laughing: "Doesn't it look like three little pigs?" ”
Qin Zheng looked over her shoulder, and saw the three children lying side by side on their small beds, all of them sleeping with red faces, occasionally frowning and grinning, just looking at this sleeping little face, it made people's hearts involuntarily soften all the way, soft into a puddle of water.
As he spoke, he naturally stepped forward to untie the big coat for him, and said with a smile while raising his eyes: "I'm all asleep." ”
"You're back!" Qiu Chen had just put Liang'er away, and was pulling the small quilt to tuck the corners of the quilt for the children, when he heard the sound of the mother-in-law and the nurse outside, he knew that Qin Zheng was back, so he was not surprised to see him appear, he only got up slowly, looked back, and smiled softly and peacefully: "You are back." ”
As soon as several nurses saw him walking in, they got up in a panic to salute, but Qin Zheng didn't see it, only lightly raised his hand to signal that he was not polite, and then picked up the door curtain and walked into the inner room with long legs.
Qin Zheng stood silently, not even going to the big daunt on his body, until the gentle and low singing in the house dispersed, he moved, but instead of going back to the east room to settle, he went straight over the floor cover to the west room.
In a trance, I have returned to the courtyard on the hillside of Liujiaao, looking at the lotus pond in front of the courtyard, the sparkling river under the slope, and the quaint small stone bridge on the river......
"There is a crooked moon in the distant night sky, and below the crooked moon is the crooked bridge, and there is a crooked boat next to the bridge, and the crooked boat is the childhood Gillian ......"
Begonia's voice is good, Qiu Chen has heard too many songs in modern times, after many years, she thought she had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, the melody seemed to go out spiritually, and a song "The Crooked Moon" was sung in a low voice, which was so clear and clear that Liang'er and Qin Zheng who were standing outside listened to it.
Qiu Chen hugged Liang'er and slowly hummed a song to coax him to sleep.
Dou didn't dare to disobey, and lowered his hand and retreated.
Qiu Chen glanced at her, waved his hand and said, "You wait in the outhouse, I'll coax him." ”
Qiu Chen was also a little surprised, but he still stepped forward to pick up the little thing, avoided the sleeping Chang'er and Jiu'er, and came to the soft couch on the other side. Dou Shi hurriedly followed, and said in a very low voice: "Madam, the fourth young master has been breastfeeding, and he was still asleep just now, and he woke up again when he put it on the bed." ”
Qin Zheng came back very late, Qiu Chen took a walk, and when the children came back together after practicing, they hadn't seen Qin Zheng yet. She went into the clean room to wash herself, changed into the half-used thin cotton clothes and pants at home, and walked to the West House to see the three children. It's Ah Liang, who is usually quieter, but at this time, he opened his eyes, didn't cry or make trouble, took a small cloth tiger to play, and when he saw Qiu Chen entering, he grinned at Qiu Chen, and then threw the cloth tiger away at once, and asked Qiu Chen to hug him with his open hand!
The girls cleaned up the leftovers, and the ladies sat for a while, and when the sweat on their bodies dissipated, Afu Aman took Brother Yun out to practice, and Qiu Chen also wrapped a big coat and followed. The food is a little supportive, and there is a lot of meat, so you may not digest it when you sleep like this, so go out for a stroll to eliminate food.
Qiu Chen didn't know what the children were thinking, but he just watched the children be infinitely happy and eat sweetly. The three small ones also ate half a meatball and a soft and rotten noodle. Putting down the chopsticks, the mother and son looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. I always don't feel what happens when I eat the pot, and I will find that I have eaten when I put down the chopsticks.
Ah Fu looked at the sister who was happily taking care of her younger brother, and then looked at the mother who was taking care of her three younger siblings on the other side, and secretly clenched his fists in his heart. His mother and sister worked so hard, and in another year, he was a year older, and soon it was time for him to support his mother and sister and be their support.
Qiu Chen watched from the sidelines with heartwarming and funny, but he didn't care about them, just fed the three of Chang'er, and paid attention to that side with a touch of energy, after all, the charcoal fire in the pot was blazing, and there was still a certain danger in the boiling soup.
The small mouth is chirping, and it is very sweet.
Brother Yun was very happy, but the movements in his hands were a little clumsy to pick up the mushrooms with chopsticks and go to his mouth, the mushrooms were very slippery, and they fell off several times, and finally put them in his mouth, and the little thing immediately squinted his eyes, revealing a look of intoxication: "Delicious!" ”
Aman grinned and nodded with a smile on his face, hugged his brother and took a sip, picked up the chopsticks, and intimately sandwiched a piece of delicious yellow mushrooms for his younger brother, put it on the plate, and didn't forget to blow the hot air: "Brother, try it, this mushroom is fresh, stewed for a while, it is soft, tender and fragrant!" ”
Brother Yun was still a little ignorant, but he also knew how to please people, held Aman's little hand, pouted and blew, and then opened a pair of dark eyes and asked, "Does my sister still hurt?" Yun'er doesn't hurt anymore, does it? ”
“…… You don't know, there are many small sands hidden in the folds on the fungus, and they have to be washed over and over again, brother, Brother Yun, look at my hands, they are all soaked and white......" Aman said and raised his white and chubby little hands for Ah Fu and Brother Yun to see.
Qiu Chen promised to bring his own children for dinner. Ah Fu and Yun Ge'er were a little silent, and Ah Man chattered that she and her mother went to the greenhouse to pick a few kinds of greens, and the dried mushrooms were also soaked by herself.
At dinner time, Ah Fu and Brother Yun both came back, but Qin Zheng did not come back, but sent the little maid Yumen back to report that he was going to Yongwang's Mansion.
After freshening up, Aman also came over, Qiu Chen took two dragonfly hairpins with pink crystal, Aman fell in love with it at a glance, and discussed with Qiu Chen with a chirp, which clothes look good with them...... The mother and son laughed for a while, Qiu Chen took Ah Man to the greenhouse in the back garden to pick a few vegetables, asked the kitchen to prepare crucian carp soup as the bottom of the pot, cut the venison slices, pheasants, and hares, and prepared to eat the pot at night. Aman looked at a variety of fungi to get interested, asked for dried mushrooms to go back to the house to soak their own hair, Qiu Chen rolled up her sleeves by her, her hands were wet and busy, she took a fine pottery and poured it in the kang stove, put lilies, autumn pears, white fungus and ginkgo to boil soup. Winter is dry, and it is easy to get on fire when you eat the pot again, and one person eats a bowl of lily and autumn pear soup to flatten the fire, clear the lungs and nourish yin, and can be well neutralized.
She secretly prayed a few words, only hoping that Qin Xiuyi would not fall into the trap of beauty and get carried away, really put aside her son and grandson, and went to King Cheng regardless of it! As for the rest, what does it have to do with her!
That's it, no matter what happens over there, it's none of her business, how she should live her life.
No wonder, Qin Zheng was reluctant to go to the Guogong Mansion. Combined with all the things before and after, she didn't have to think about it to know that Qin Xiuyi must have relapsed into her old state, and she boasted of being romantic, and she was so forgetful in the dark!
Whew, Qiu Chen himself couldn't help but let out a breath, grinning at the corners of his mouth, revealing a silent and not very kind smile.
There is also a Tianzhu woman...... Resting in the later world, the place is called India and Pakistan, Qiu Chen thinks of the enchanting woman on the inspirational film, the heavy makeup that seduces the soul, and the big eyes are full of sultry style...... Also, the open-chested and open-belly dress of the Tianzhu girl, the soft waist that is full of hands, the flat and full lower abdomen, and the round and attractive navel...... There is also a brightly colored and beautiful dress sari with only a pair of seductive eyes......
I don't know, what kind of Nanchen woman Qin Xiuyi deleted?
From this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but think of the Nanhui princess, although he only saw it once through the car window, and the Nanhui princess at that time was also unbearable and had no image, but he still couldn't ignore the reality that she was a big beauty. Not only are the facial features exquisite, but also there is no dark skin and collapsed nose bridge that are common in the Nanchen people.
She said, why is Qin Zheng so strange this year, don't bother to go to the Guogong Mansion, it turns out that Qin Xiuyi, the Duke of Liang, has added a new favorite. This time it's fresher, not only is it tender and beautiful, but it's also a foreign woman......
Qiu Chen's eyebrows were raised high, and he couldn't fall for a long time.
Xuan Bing was beside him, his eyes swept over the Chunxiang Xia Yan who were waiting in the room, and while opening the makeup box to select the hairpin head flower, he said in a very low voice: "Mrs. Hui, Grandpa Guo just got a Nanchen woman and a Tianzhu woman a few days ago, and it was said that it was given by King Cheng...... King Cheng also said that it was sent back from Nanchen by King Qi. ”
Qiu Chen looked at himself in the mirror, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything, just responded.
While combing Qiu Chen's hair, Yue Gui said in a low voice: "Master Hou went out an hour ago, and explained that he was going to the Guogong Mansion to have a look, and he would come back for dinner if he had nothing to do." ”
After the shoes got off the kang, Yue Gui and Xuan Bing brought Chunxiang Xia Yan and a few girls in to serve.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, stretched her waist comfortably, and then moved her arms and supported herself to get up.
Opening his eyes, raising his hand over his head and stretching his waist, Qiu Chen subconsciously turned his gaze and saw that there was nothing beside him, only a quilt half-rolled up, and Qin Zheng had already disappeared.
Qiu Chen slept unexpectedly soundly this night, and before he first slept at the beginning, he slept for more than an hour, and when he entered Shen Shi, he woke up contentedly when he was close to Shen Shi.
After lying down for two quarters of an hour, his wife next to him slept soundly, but Qin Zheng was lying sore and aching, and he was afraid that turning over at will would affect his wife's nap, so he simply got up, put on his shoes, asked for a coat, and went out while tying a belt.
His wife reminded him that it was right to go to the Guogong Mansion, but he didn't want to go, but he couldn't explain the reason to his wife. He didn't have the face to say. That man was, after all, his biological father. Qin Zheng also knew that those things were extremely disliked by his wife, and if he didn't say it without a face, it would also make his wife unhappy, so why bother!
Listening to his wife's even slender breathing, Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes. He didn't feel sleepy, and the reason why he promised his wife to rest just now was just to get closer to his wife. Staying by his wife's side, he has no reason to feel at ease.
Qin Zheng seemed to hesitate, but he still nodded and took off his shoes to get on the kang. Qiu Chen immediately pulled another quilt over, and then wrapped himself in the quilt, closed his eyes for a moment, and fell asleep peacefully. Junwen's matter has always been in her heart, and now that she has an idea, she is much more relaxed. As for the Guogong Mansion, looking at Qin Zheng's appearance, something must have happened, and it shouldn't be a good thing...... She's busy preparing for her old age these days, so she doesn't care about it, anyway, there's nothing urgent, she sleeps peacefully, and when she wakes up, she secretly finds someone to ask and knows.
Pulled over a thin quilt, covered his feet, and asked Qin Zheng with a smile on his face: "You also come to rest for a while?" ”
The big flower hall of the Jingbei Hou Mansion is only equipped with a piece of glass in the middle, known as the 'beautiful eye', and the houses in the backyard, especially the windows of the rooms where several masters live, are large expanses of transparent and bright glass. It was early afternoon, and the bright winter sun shone in through the glass window, and the warm kang near the window was bright and warm.
As he spoke, Qiu Chen took off his shoes and went to the warm kang near the window.
As soon as Qiu Chen heard that he was changing the topic, although he was a little surprised and confused, he didn't spy on anything, and immediately agreed: "I'll go and see it later." ”
Qin Zheng silently rolled his eyes away, responded casually, and then changed the topic and said: "I see that Ah Fu's gloves are worn out, you go and see if there is any spare, ice hockey players are cold, and it is easy to get frostbite without gloves." ”
Although Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen's current sobriety is equivalent to opening a mansion and living separately, they also live their own days on weekdays, although they have not performed the ceremony of separating the family, they are actually separating. But don't say that the family has not been officially separated, that is, the family has been separated, and on a big festival like the Spring Festival, the family also has to get together. In any case, Qin Zheng is Qin Xiuyi's eldest son, and he is born with a responsibility that he can't shirk. Last year, Qin Zheng thought about it at home, but he still went to the Guogong Mansion basically every day since he was twenty-three, but this year he didn't go once...... Obviously, he is idle on official business, and he goes to watch the children's ice hockey every day. This is too eye-catching, I am afraid that it will attract gossip and affect Qin Zheng's reputation.
So he said: "Ming'er is going to be twenty-seven, the children will go to the ice theater, send Qin Li to bring a few reliable people to follow, if you have kung fu, go over there and have a look, it is approaching the end of the year, there are many things!" ”
After making up his mind, the expression on Qiu Chen's face relaxed a lot.
The reason why Chang Jiayi or others are not used is to avoid the embarrassment of many parties if things don't go wrong. After all, Aman is small, and a joking sentence, even if Wang Jingshu is unwilling, he will not be annoyed, and he will not be hateful because of the little girl's words.
Because she is close to Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er, Aman's little girl is also familiar with the two, and as soon as they meet, Aunt Jing and Aunt Xi'er will call non-stop. In addition, the little girl is young, but she is a big ghost, shrewd and clever, and she has read a belly of books, and has followed the master out for a year, far more knowledgeable than Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er, who have come out of the capital since she was a child, and Song Xi'er loves Man'er very much to talk about the strange things outside, customs and folklore, every time she meets Man'er's little girl, she leaves everything behind, and pulls the little girl to tell her about the Gu art of those Miao villages, and the butterfly spring of Nanzhao Kingdom, countless butterflies are overwhelming, and they fall all over the valley......
Qiu Chen thought of Aman!
