Chapter 256: The Father Has Visitation Rights

Qin Zheng seems to have fallen in love with burning glass these days, almost replacing Qiu Chen before, and he has to go to the kiln room in the backyard for a few hours every day. Moreover, what makes Qiu Chen more embarrassed is that people are obviously more ingenious than her mind, after burning into water, she has successively fired more than ten utensils, from the initial simplicity, gradually refined, color control has gradually become proficient, and even began to control the direction and use of color, the same is Ambilight, but it is much more beautiful than what she originally fired, the color transition is natural and gorgeous, without her sense of clutter!

Hmph, what is abstract color? He, an ancient, didn't know the Tao at all! Qiu Chen comforted himself like this!

The sour grapes psychology was only fleeting, Qiu Chen was no longer willing to leave home and his family, and he had to prepare to go to Anyang Mansion.

Let's not mention that Yun Yizhou has to congratulate him on his promotion, Guo Jingquan, the old man Guo, has to visit him as soon as possible. Lin Xu is also going to return to Anyang Mansion, the quarterly examination of the school is approaching, and Hu Yanxun is also among the promotions, and he is about to leave Anyang, Lin Xu always has to see him off.

As usual, the family gathered in Liu's room for dinner, and Junwen Junshu and others took a few small ones to the second courtyard to read and write. Lin Xu looked at Qiu Chen hesitantly, and Qiu Chen got up to see him out.

When he came to the hall, Qiu Chen reached out and took his cloak and put it on his body, and said with a smile: "Is there something you want to tell me?" Let's go, I'll send you back, talk as you go! ”

Lin Xu kept up with Qiu Chen's footsteps, walked out of the house, and walked along the eaves of the corridor to the corridor of the second courtyard, Lin Xu seemed to have finally accumulated enough courage, stopped, looked at Qiu Chen, hesitated and lowered his head again, "Sister-in-law...... I ......"

Qiu Chen's face was slightly bantered, his eyes sank, and he asked, "Is it your eldest brother's business?" ”

Lin Xu's face turned red, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, seeing that although Qiu Chen's face was not happy, he was not angry, but he was calm and almost expressionless. Lin Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated: "Sister-in-law...... The eldest brother is leaving, and I don't know when I will see him again...... Well, that, I wondered if I could bring Afu Aman...... Go meet the big brother......"

Qiu Chen looked at the young man who finally said it stumblingly, and sighed secretly in his heart. After all, it was Hu Yanxun who raised him since he was a child, and after so many years of dependence, Lin Xu and Hu Yanxun's brotherhood is even a little deeper than ordinary brotherhood, although there are a few years of separation in the middle, but Lin Xu's relationship between Hu Yanxun's father and brother is not something that can be wiped out in one sentence, besides, Hu Yanxun really has nothing to be sorry for Lin Xu, Lin Xu thinks so, to take Afu Aman to see Hu Yanxun and see Hu Yanxun off, it is not an additional requirement.

Not to mention this patriarchal society, even in modern times, after the divorce of the husband and wife, the party who leaves also has the right to see their children......

Qiu Chen's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find a reason to convince himself to treat and deal with this matter rationally. Speaking of which, she is an outsider, but she is just a piece of Begonia's skin, and she is not a person from Afu Aman at all, and she has no right to prevent the children from seeing her father, nor does she have the right to prevent Hu Yanxun from seeing her children.

Lin Xu looked at his sister-in-law nervously, under the dim light of the corridor, Qiu Chen hung his head slightly, his eyes were blank, his expression was waveless, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything...... As if after a long wait, Qiu Chen raised his head, his expression was calm, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "It is normal for children to meet their father...... In this way, we will take the children into Anyang City together, and you go and ask your eldest brother to see if it is convenient for him to meet the children and make an appointment...... However, I have a request that I hope you will grant me. ”

As soon as he heard that his sister-in-law agreed with him to take the children to see the eldest brother, the nervousness on Lin Xu's face subsided suddenly, and countless joys bloomed in an instant, and Qiu Chen's request behind him was not taken to heart, and he said in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law, you say, you say, brother will definitely do it!" ”

Qiu Chen stared at the joy on Lin Xu's face, sighed in his heart, and slowly spoke: "I hope that neither you nor your eldest brother will let the children know about their relationship...... Well, the children are still young and not sensible, and I don't want these things to affect the children's state of mind. When they are older and know the world, I will naturally find a suitable opportunity to tell them. ”

The smile on Lin Xu's face froze, his eyes seemed to be confused and looked at his sister-in-law with a calm and indifferent face, the Adam's apple that had just begun to develop rolled up and down a few times, and finally nodded solemnly with a heavy face!

Qin Yi lowered his eyes slightly and followed behind Qin Zheng, standing silently. Qin Li next to him was not as calm as him, although he was as quiet as Qin Yi on the surface, but he was so anxious that he almost burst into flames in his heart. How does Madame say these things in the yard...... Afu Aman's father is still there, he was vaguely aware of such news before, but he has not been able to be sure, and he has not tried his best to inquire about it intentionally or unintentionally, but what he never expected was that this matter was actually revealed by his wife herself, and it was in such a situation. He didn't dare to raise his head, and he couldn't see the expression of the master in front of him when he looked up...... I wonder if Daoye Lu will dismiss his previous plans when he hears the news...... After all, the husband's family is still alive, and if he doesn't get it right, he may be charged with forcibly snatching someone's wife, which is not only a big crime, but also a matter of revenge...... Moreover, listening to his wife, Afu Aman's father still has an official position......

In fact, Qin Li already had a rough guess about this person, but he subconsciously didn't want to think about it, as if in this way, he could discard this bad news.

Originally, Qiu Chen was reluctant to travel at home, and after Lin Xu's request, Qiu Chen was even more reluctant to go out, and he was not very active in preparing his luggage. It's just that early the next morning, a small guy from Pegasus made Qiu Chen change his attention.

Qiu Chen, the little guy who came, didn't know him, but he sent a letter from Wu Yunqiao. There are few words in the letter, but it is clear and clear, that is, let Qiu Chen enter Anyang as soon as possible, because, these days, Qinghe County and Pi County have cleaned up the epidemic population, and many families have not survived because of the epidemic, and many lands have become ownerless.

Writing this letter, Wu Yunqiao certainly had the intention of being good friends with Qiu Chen, on the other hand, Wu Yunqiao was not selfish. The Lin family's Zhuangzi management, the purchase of farm tools, seeds, and the rent interest is much more relaxed than that of ordinary landlords, especially this year's heavy rain affected the delay in autumn planting, the Lin family also thought for the tenants, let the tenants plant vegetables, and the Lin family also underwrote the ...... It can be said that the Lin family's farmers and tenant farmers are really better off than those who own their own fields...... Although Wu Yunqiao is stubborn, he really loves the people like a son, and he put the news of the centralized sale of land to the Lin family, which also means that he hopes to seek a little welfare for the people as much as possible!

For more than a year, Qiu Chen also had the idea of buying a grange, but it was very helpless that people in this era attached great importance to land, if it was not desperate, almost no one sold the land grange, and asked someone to inquire for a year, Qiu Chen did not meet a suitable contiguous land grange. Now, Wu Yunqiao specially sent someone over to deliver the letter, and Qiu Chen naturally wouldn't miss it.

As a result, the originally grinding itinerary immediately became compact. After sending off the messenger, Qiu Chen threw the letterhead directly into the fire and burned it, and then beckoned Yufeng and Qingxing to pack their luggage and set off for Anyang immediately.

and Pan Jiaqing asked for leave for Afu Aman, and an hour later, Qin Yong and Shen Hu escorted, and Qiu Chen's mother and son and Lin Xu set off from Liujiaao in two cars.

Qin Li and Qin Yi stood at the gate, watching the carriage drift away, bypassing the intersection and disappearing from sight, Qin Li turned his head to look at the quiet main house through the gate, and came to Qin Yi with worried eyes, and said in a low voice: "Master...... No, um, don't say a word to Madame......"

"You're talking more and more!" Qin Yi glanced at Qin Li and said lightly.

Qin Li pursed his lips and continued to lower his voice, "Although you have followed Madame for a few years, you also know that Madame Dao's character is a person, and there must be a reason for this...... Ye is just so stuffy, don't say or ask, tell me, what does Ye think in his heart? What attention is this hitting? Do you just leave? I can't guarantee that I won't be able to come back again for a few years......"

Qin Yi glared at him, and then he couldn't hold back his sigh, and said in a low voice: "Master's thoughts, where can we guess." Maybe...... Alas! The identity of the lady is inherently difficult...... Maybe that's a good thing...... It's just that let's wait carefully in the future, ...... you."

After a pause, Qin Yicai said: "I'm afraid that it will be rare to see Ye smile in the future......"

Qin Li nodded helplessly, and followed Qin Yi back very dejectedly.

He followed his master at the age of ten, and he was only a teenager at that time, but he was cold every day, not only did he not have a smiling face all day long, but even his other expressions were inadequate...... Later, as the master got older, the fierce and evil aura on his body gradually became restrained, looking more majestic, but he was much more peaceful and graceful, but it was still very cold, and even the guards who were close to them rarely saw the master have any special expressions, let alone smiling faces.

Since I met my wife, especially when I arrived in Liu Jiaao, my lord seemed to have a sharp sword, and his bearing was so easy-going, and he could even see him smile a few times a day, especially when he was with his wife, he often smiled...... Outsiders may not feel much about this subtle change, but their close guards feel it deeply, and they are easy-going, often smiling, and they also feel a lot more relaxed and peaceful...... Alas, the days to come will be sad again.

Qin Li sighed with a heart full of worry and turned back with Qin Yi, as soon as he walked into the west room of the main house, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and a thick joy burst out from the bottom of his eyes, and then quickly overflowed his face.

Although Hou Ye was still sitting on the kang, he was twisting his head to look out through the window, and what Hou Ye was holding in his hand was nothing else, it was the squirming sulfur glass vase that Hou Ye returned with a very exquisite glass flower sea...... This vase doesn't look good, but it is really the first glass product made by Mrs. herself, and the meaning is different!

bumped all the way into Anyang City, and the sky was almost dark.

Daxing greeted outside the city gate and returned home with Qiu Chen and his party. Lin Xianniang led someone to greet her at the door and took Qiu Chen and his party in.

Qiu Chen walked inside and said with a smile: "It's a cold day, why did the fifth sister still come to the door!" ”

Lin Xianniang hugged Aman, and said with a smile while tightening the small cloak for Aman: "Sister-in-law is more than a month this time, and my sister really can't think about it." Especially Zhilu Dao Fu'er Man'er is coming over, where can I still sit in the house, if it is not really inconvenient, I can't wait to be taken outside the city. ”

Qiu Chen rolled his eyes, smiled and didn't speak again, only led Ah Fu to walk in quickly.

Chen's and Shunzi's family had already boiled hot water, and the kang was also boiling hot, Qiu Chen took Afu Aman to take a hot bath, changed into comfortable home cotton clothes and cotton pants, and sat on the hot kang.

Lin Xianniang took the laurel spring fragrance that had been washed, first sent hot tea, and then sent dinner like flowing water.

Qiu Chen was no longer polite to her, and the Shunzi family and the Chen family and other mothers-in-law came in and knelt on the ground to congratulate Qiu Chen. Qiu Chen has also passed the sound of congratulations these days, and smiled and told Chunxiang to take the silver bills and reward them, and the silver bills of one or two per person made the joy on the faces of the mothers-in-law and girls even greater.

After the dinner was set, Lin Xu also rushed over from the front yard, and sat on both sides of the kang table with Lin Xianniang, Qiu Chen took Afu Aman to sit in the kang, and the family gathered together, had a hot dinner together, and went back to the house to rest after a few words.

The warm and comfortable ondol and the soft, dry and clean bedding make people sleep very heartily after a bumpy day.

After a good night's sleep, after breakfast the next day, Lin Xu went to Guo's house to visit his teacher, Master Guo. Lin Xianniang also took people to the dim sum shop.

Qiu Chen called the Chen family and the Shunzi family to visit the Yun family and the Guo family, set a time for the visit, and then called Daxing in and inquired about the land sales in Qinghe County and Pi County.

Yesterday, when he got the letter, Qiu Chen sent a message to Daxing and asked him to inquire about the news. There is Yun Jichen's little servant who knows the book, and these news that is rare for others has already been inquired about by Daxing. This land auction was presided over by the deputy envoy of Qincha and handled by the new Tongzhi Wu Yunqiao, not only a lot of land was sold in Pi County and Qinghe County, but also more land was sold in Hui County and Yishui County due to the serious epidemic. This was also decided by the Qincha after consultation with the officials of Anyang Prefecture, and the use of the silver money from the auction of these lands as the part of the relief silver was a move to benefit the people.

Qiu Chen listened carefully, assigned a task to Daxing, and asked him to inquire in detail, what are the large plots of land for sale this time, the location, the barren fields, the surrounding environment, and the people who participated in the bidding...... Inquire about this information in detail, and then determine specific purchase goals and plans.

This time, several counties auctioned off the ownerless land together, the amount was huge, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver in Qiu Chen's hand were not enough to see at all, so he could only concentrate his firepower and get the most suitable part.

These things are all arranged, and it is almost sunset. Qiu Chen took Afu Aman through the back garden to Erkui's house.

The October little girl of Erkui's family has already staggered and started to walk, the little girl in cotton pants is chubby and round, standing against the door frame, seeing people and not recognizing life, a smile shows four white teeth, how cute and cute.

As soon as Aman saw October, he was very rare, and he was about to hug it with his hands open, so frightened that Qiu Chen stepped forward and hugged October: "Man'er is too young to hug his little sister...... Let's go, I'll put my sister on the kang, and you and your sister will go to the kang to play! ”

Erkui's family said with a smile: "Man'er likes to hug it, wear it thickly, and you can't fall!" ”

Laughing, the two of them took the children into the house, and Ah Fu had already gotten together with the stones, and he didn't know what to say. After putting Aman and October on the kang, Qiu Chen took a piece of peanut candy and gave it to Man'er and asked her to eat it with October. Ah Fu also took the peanut candy slices and handed them to the stone, and the little brothers did not go to the kang, they both climbed onto the chairs under the kang, eating and talking across the desk.

Qiu Chen told Erkui's family about the situation at home, and chatted for a long time about the big and small things in the village, and had to take care of the children from time to time. Qiu Chen hugged Ah Man and led Ah Fu all the way home.

The Chen family and the Shunzi family have already returned, and after talking about the experience of going to Yunfu and Guofu, Chen took another post to Qiu Chen and said: "The orchids planted by the grandmother of Yunfu have bloomed, and the day after tomorrow I just invited the wives and ladies of each family to come over to enjoy the flowers, and I also invited my wife." ”

Shunzi's family said: "Mrs. Guo Fu Ning is very kind, but she looks haggard, saying that Master Guo is in good health, and Mrs. Ning said that Mrs. Guo is her own family, and she doesn't need to pay attention to these false courtesies, and she can go over at any time." ”

Qiu Chen nodded, and asked the Shunzi family to prepare two gifts.

Chen Shi took a step, his face hesitated, Qiu Chen saw her expression, so he asked, "But what else is the matter?" ”

Chen looked at Qiu Chen and said: "Lady, you didn't have a seal before, how to call this as long as you don't have a heart to embarrass and no one will be held accountable, now that the lady has a seal, you should pay attention to this title, if you call 'Mrs.' again, you are afraid of provoking the impeachment of people with intentions...... As a rule, only the 'first and second grades' can be called 'Mrs.', and the third rank is 'Lady', or 'Mrs.'. ”

Qiu Chen exhaled softly, rubbed his eyebrows slightly, and said helplessly: "Then Mrs." ”

She really didn't like this title, but the rules were like this, and she couldn't get into trouble for a title.

Chen was obviously relieved, and lowered his hand and agreed: "Yes, madam! The slave and maid will go down and tell the family! ”

Qiu Chen waved his hand, "Don't be a 'slave' or a 'slave', just call 'you and me' in our own home!" ”

'Slave maid' is long and 'slave maid' is short, she has long been tired of hearing it, and it just so happened that Chen proposed to correct the title, so change this as well. There are some things she can't resist, but within the limits of her ability, let's try to make herself comfortable!

Chen agreed to retreat, but Qiu Chen stopped her again and said, "You tell Chunxiang and let her know." Tell me what you need to pay attention to on occasions like the day after tomorrow...... If there are any other necessary etiquette and so on, you can also tell me. ”

Because of her status as a 'widow' before, and because of her humble status, she had never attended the gatherings of the wives and ladies of the rich eunuchs, and she had no concept of some etiquette or anything. Although some things need to be cultivated imperceptibly for a long time, and she can't learn them in a hurry, she must always understand the etiquette on the big face, as long as she doesn't make big jokes, she knows her own temperament, and she will never be the protagonist of the party with exquisite long sleeves and good dancing.

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, Chen showed an approving smile on his face, responded again and again, went outside to order Chunxiang, turned back to sit on the footstool under the kang, and carefully told Qiu Chen about the various etiquette rules of the women in the house in this era.

There are many etiquette rules in this era, especially for women, and Chen still carefully picked up the most important ones, and said for half an hour, but he didn't finish speaking. Qiu Chen was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't remember a few, and Chunxiang came in to ask when lunch would be served.

Qiu Chen simply pointed at Chen's and said, "Sister-in-law Chen, don't say that, just start with the etiquette of eating, you pick it up and point it out to me, I can remember as much as I want!" ”

Chen hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious, madam, in fact, there is no big difference in Mrs. Weekday's behavior, just pay a little attention to etiquette." ”

Qiu Chen nodded. She believes Chen's words, not flattery. Although she has not undergone any etiquette training in modern times, some basic habits are still very good, she will not shout at the dinner table, will not pick and choose all kinds of rummaging, and will not make all kinds of abnormal noises during meals...... When you think about it, there's really no need to be too nervous.

At lunch, only Qiu Chen took Afu Aman together, and Chen stood under the kang and reminded Qiu Chen in a soft voice of some necessary etiquette, such as cleaning his hands before meals, such as rinsing tea after meals, such as the order of serving dishes at banquets in Gaomenli, and so on...... Qiu Chen slowly studied and tried to keep it in his heart.

After lunch, Ah Fu Aman took a nap, and after getting up, Qiu Chen accompanied the two children to write and read.

Ah Fu's handwriting is already very decent, Aman because of the small person, the palm and fingers control the strength is not very coordinated, the words are written poorly, but the structure is also compact and regular, no longer the original word is fragmented.

On the other hand, Qiu Chen's characters, after more than a year of intermittent practice, although the strokes are symmetrical and the structure can be basically controlled, it is also neat at best...... As for the bones, I really can't talk about it. At this point, Qiu Chen would be embarrassed every time he watched the progress of the children. She is far worse than her two children in terms of peace of mind.

In the evening, Lin Xu turned back. Watching Ah Fu Aman go into the ear room to wash his hands, he lowered his voice slightly and said to Qiu Chen: "I met my eldest brother today, and my eldest brother is very happy to see the two children...... The eldest brother said, tomorrow the weather is fine, take me and the two children to the southern suburbs to hunt! ”

Regarding the matter of the two children going to see Hu Yanxun, Qiu Chen was really reluctant in his heart, but reason made her have to agree. When she heard that she was going hunting, she also instinctively wanted to shake her head and refuse, but she finally nodded and agreed, only telling Lin Xu to take care of the two children, and then take Qin Yong and Shen Hu to take care of the two children.

"Mother, see if I'm clean?" Man'er shook her two little fat hands and giggled and ran out. The topic between Qiu Chen and Lin Xu had to come to an end for the time being.
