Chapter 354: Entering the Palace
hugged Aman and kissed and kissed, and hugged Afu for a long time, before Qiu Chen pulled two small things to sit on the kang and talk.
Qingxing and Yufeng had already gone to the small kitchen to bring a lot of snacks and fruits. Qiu Chen brought Xiaoxi over this time, and the small kitchen was handed over to Xiaoxi to manage, and the taste was very intact to maintain the taste of the home, so that the two little things were very happy.
Qiu Chen held one in one hand, fed the two children, and asked about the children's life in the past two days, and learned that the two children followed the old man Mu for two days, and almost visited the main places in the capital, and Ah Fu and Ah Man also took out a small gift from their arms and gave it to Qiu Chen, Ah Man felt out a bag of snowflake candy, and Ah Fu felt out a simple boxwood comb, on which two swimming fish were carved, although it was only a few strokes, but it was lively and cute.
As he was talking, the girl at the door announced: "Master Hou is back!" ”
Before the words fell, Qin Zheng walked in in a long brocade robe with indigo silk and dark flowers, and lifted a curtain.
Qiu Chen got up from the kang with a smile, and then turned around and hugged the two children off the kang.
"Oh, Xiaoru Xiaojie is here?" Qin Zheng was not surprised when he saw the two children, but showed a rare gentle smile.
Qiu Chen smiled and bent his knees, and Ah Fu Aman also saluted and greeted.
Qin Zheng picked up Aman, reached out and touched the top of Ah Fu's head, and took the two children back on the kang. Ah Man smiled and picked up a piece of snowflake candy and stuffed it into Qin Zheng's mouth.
"Uncle, you taste it, this is the snowflake candy I bought for you and your mother, it's very crispy and sweet!"
Qin Zheng didn't eat much sweets, but he didn't refuse the sugar tablets that Aman stuffed, and praised: "Well, it's very sweet and delicious." ”
Ah Fu looked at the comb on the table, a little embarrassed. He only thought about his mother, and didn't think about buying a gift for Uncle Qin.
Qin Zheng didn't care about this, he hugged Ah Man and looked at Ah Fu, and also asked about the situation of the two children. Knowing that Old Man Mu had visited many places with his two children, he asked, "You have been to so many places, where do you think is the most lively?" Tomorrow, let's take your mother and mother to see it, okay? ”
As soon as he said this, the two children were interested, and even Ah Fu temporarily put aside the embarrassment just now and pondered hard. Not surprisingly, the two children's favorites were the snacks outside Tenfukuji Temple and the tiles at Mentou Bridge.
Tianfu Temple incense is vigorous, almost every day there are many men and women who believe in the Buddha to worship the incense, gradually outside the mountain gate of Tianfu Temple gathered a lot of stalls selling incense candles and snacks, and later, formed a street dominated by snacks and incense candles. It's just that because it's close to Tenfukuji Temple, the snacks sold are vegetarian. However, it has also been renovated by those skillful stall owners, and the variety and pattern are also diverse, no less delicious than those made with meat.
The Mentou Bridge is similar to the overpass in old Beijing, gathering a large number of artists who perform tricks, as well as troupes of various types of dramas singing on stage, as well as storytellers, drums, monkeys, and snakes...... All kinds of juggling tricks, not only children but also adults like to go for a walk and have fun.
Although Qin Zheng was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, these two places are considered to be the lowest level of society, and Qin Zheng was too young when Mrs. Ji was alive, so naturally he would not let him go to this kind of place. After Mrs. Ji died, Qin Zheng began to practice martial arts and study hard, until he was fifteen years old and went north to join the army, he never relaxed for a day, and naturally he never went to these two places...... Speaking of which, Qin Zheng didn't know much about the capital, and he could only listen to the two children of Afu and Aman talking about those fun programs and delicious things with bright eyes.
Soon, the three of them discussed, and on the second day, they went to Mentou Bridge and Tianfu Temple.
After talking for a while, Old Man Mu turned around from Hanlian Garden, and when he heard the report, Qin Zheng hugged Ah Man, Qiu Chen led Ah Fu, and went to the hall to meet the guests together.
When the family came to the front, Old Man Mu was already sitting in the hall drinking tea, and when he saw that the four of them wanted to follow in, he smiled and nodded with relief.
Aman broke down from Qin Zheng's arms, ran over, threw himself into Old Man Mu's arms, and said with a happy face: "Master, master, Ming'er we are going to take Uncle Qin and his mother to Mentou Bridge and Tianfu Temple, and then let's go to see the Siamese people playing snakes, okay?" You also said to buy me one, this time you can't forget to bring silver! ”
The snakes played by the Siamese people are all highly venomous snakes like cobras, Qiu Chen changed color as soon as he heard Aman's words, and it was not good to reprimand Aman in front of so many people, so he had to try his best to look at Old Man Mu.
But Old Man Mu didn't know if he didn't see it or what, he was very embarrassed and thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay." I saw that day that they had a small bamboo leaf, very beautiful, if there is still one, let's buy that one! ”
Trimeresurus? Qiu Chen was shocked.
Although Zhu Yeqing has a good appearance, it is a famous poisonous snake, and it is very aggressive, if it is bitten, it will be fatal if it is not treated in time.
Qiu Chen couldn't help but speak: "That's not good, it's poisonous, what if you hurt people at home!" ”
When Aman heard this, he immediately turned his head, looked at Qiu Chen pitifully and said, "Mother, the master taught me to catch snakes, and also taught me to prepare snake medicine, I won't let snakes bite people...... Well, even if they bite, there is also snake medicine to heal them, and they will be fine! ”
Qiu Chen resolutely refused, there was no room for negotiation at all: "No, you must not raise that kind of thing at home." ”
Aman pouted unhappily, turned his head with red eyes and threw himself into Old Man Mu's arms.
Ah Fu looked at his sister pitifully, but he also agreed with his mother's decision not to let snakes be raised, snakes are weird, and my sister wants to raise poisonous snakes, so it is naturally not suitable to keep them at home.
Ah Fu is seven years old, and he understands some human affairs, not to mention whether the snake is poisonous or not, if this weird hobby spreads, his sister's reputation will definitely be affected, not to mention anything else, but it will be difficult for my sister to find someone to play with.
So, Ah Fu leaned over, put his head next to his sister's head and began to comfort: "Sister, let's not raise snakes, okay with rabbits?" White hair red eyes...... Do you want to get a kitten and a fawn? ”
Aman became petty, shook his head and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, I don't like rabbits, cats, and deer...... I just love snakes! ”
Seeing that Aman was unreasonable, Qiu Chen simply turned cold, stepped forward to hug Ah Fu and said, "She's so ignorant, let's not take her on the street tomorrow, let her be at home by herself!" ”
"Mother...... Wow......" Aman was struck and cried.
It's just that Qiu Chen couldn't compromise on this matter, and he didn't look at Ah Man, who was crying bitterly, and instructed Wei to take Ah Man directly to another room.
Instead, Qiu Chen said to Old Man Mu: "Mr. Mu, Aman is a girl's family, and it's just a matter of practicing martial arts, but these poisonous insects and poisons are still far away, if you keep playing with these things, how can you find your in-laws' family when you are older?" Who would want such a daughter-in-law covered in poison? ”
Old man Mu obviously didn't care a little and said: "Isn't it just a few little insects, what's there to be afraid of, it's not that I didn't prepare a poison avoidance pill for Aman, and I also taught Aman how to avoid poison, and it won't hurt people, where is what you said so serious......
Speaking of this, Old Man Mu simply glanced at Qiu Chen and said, "If it is rumored that Lu will go to my disciple's house to find his mother-in-law's house, I am afraid that if the threshold is not broken, how can he not marry Lu Gong?" ”
Qiu Chen's face became even colder, hugged Ah Fu tightly, and said to Old Man Mu: "If you are obsessed, then I can't help it, and I have to stop letting the two children see you in the future." ”
Without waiting for Old Man Mu to speak, Qiu Chen said again: "Don't think about secretly abducting Aman again, I can't let you abduct her again this time." ”
Old Man Mu was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect a snake to be just a snake, how could it attract such a big reaction from Qiu Chen...... Don't let him see Aman again? He has been looking for decades, and finally met such a good seedling, a child who is particularly talented in practicing martial arts and poisoning, and he plans to teach what he has learned all his life, how can he teach it if he doesn't see a child?
After turning his mind, Old Man Mu smiled and said, "You are so boring...... Alright, alright, I'm not going to let her play with snakes and insects in the future, right? ”
Qiu Chen looked at the obviously perfunctory old man Mu steadily, and didn't quite believe his words, but it was not easy to chase after him at this moment, so he had to temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, and instead think of a way, how to coax Aman around.
As soon as this matter was interrupted, Qiu Chen remembered to ask about Mrs. Li's condition, but Old Man Mu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I have just given her an injection, and the leader Sen Sen's dizziness has improved a lot, and I prescribed her a prescription, and after taking it for a month or two, this disease will be cured." Of course, she also has to relax her mind by herself, always be careful, and find out the disease by herself if she is not sick, and there is no way to get to the root of this disease! ”
Qiu Chen nodded, this psychological treatment, the most fundamental thing is indeed to adjust the psychological state in order to get better. What she has to do is to let Mrs. Li relieve herself temporarily, as for whether she can relax and adjust her mentality, it is not something she can do, and she can't do anything.
After a few more conversations, Qiu Chen left Qin Zheng to talk to Old Man Mu, and he took Ah Fu to the room where Ah Man was confined in Confinement.
When he was just hugged by Wei, Aman was still crying very much, and he couldn't hear the crying anymore, and he didn't know if he was crying anymore, or he fell asleep crying.
When she entered the house, Aman was really crying and sleeping, and Wei was wiping the tears on her cheeks with a half-used clean silk handkerchief. The little girl nestled in Wei's arms, frowning tightly, pouting, tears oozing out of the corners of her eyes, and sobbing from time to time...... made Qiu Chen's heart soften all of a sudden.
"Madame!" When Wei saw Qiu Chen coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
Qiu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, stepped forward to take Aman, and gently patted his back to coax, Aman seemed to smell the smell of his mother, hummed and arched into Qiu Chen's arms, stretched out his little hand, skillfully stroked Qiu Chen's chest, as if he had found a safe nestle at once, rubbed his cheek, and whispered cowardly: "Mother's ......" and then fell asleep.
This low, vague call made Qiu Chen's heart soften into water in an instant.
The anger just now turned into distress, and the circles in his eyes turned red instantly.
The youngest daughter is sensible and lively, and many times she is like a pistachio, but her attention to the children is really limited. Since coming to this world, she has worked hard to earn money to make ends meet, earn money to support her family, earn money to live a better life, and now, life is better, she is also married to Qin Zheng, and she has a title and status and wealth that many people look up to, but looking back, she found that she ignored a lot and missed a lot of the beauty of the children's growth.
In the blink of an eye, Fu'er had the appearance of a little boy. Aman also spent too much time with Old Man Mu, and developed many habits that could not be accepted and recognized by this society...... Although she just told Old Man Mu that she was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her in-laws, she wasn't too worried, but more importantly, she found that she almost missed the opportunity to guide her children.
Fortunately, the children are still young, and now that she marries into the Qin family, due to the habits and customs of the capital, she will not be able to go out every day, and she will have a lot of time to accompany the children to grow up in the future, and guide them to develop good living and learning habits.
Hopefully, it's still too late.
After sleeping with Aman in his arms for a while, Qiu Chen had to hand over the children to the grandmothers and let them take the children back.
Qin Zheng proposed to let the children stay, but Qiu Chen politely refused.
This Liang Guogong Mansion is unfamiliar to her, and it is also unfamiliar to Qin Zheng. With so many people right and wrong, she doesn't want her children to be harmed in any way. Maybe it's just a sneer and contempt, or maybe it's just a word of abuse and insult, and it's very likely that the child's soul will be hurt for a lifetime.
Seeing Qiu Chen's reluctance, Qin Zheng hugged her shoulder and said with relief: "Tomorrow, I will be able to see them again." ”
Qiu Chen nodded, looked up at Qin Zheng, and wanted to ask when he would move out, but it was a little difficult to speak.
Qin Zheng didn't need her to ask, he hugged her directly, and said in a low voice: "You can't move the house in the first month of marriage, and when the month is over, we will move to the Hou Mansion after the ancestral hall, and at that time, you will be able to bring the child to your side." ”
Qiu Chen leaned his face against Qin Zheng's chest, felt the solidity under the clothes, and gently responded.
On the second day, they had to get up early to prepare for entering the palace, and it was not early at this time, so Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen rested after washing up.
After some intimacy and warmth, Qiu Chen was much less nervous and embarrassed than yesterday, and seemed to be able to relax a little, and he also vaguely tasted a little happiness. Naturally, these could not be concealed from Qin Zheng, so it was inevitable that he relaxed his restraint and intensified his attack......
On the morning of the second day, Qiu Chen was so sore that he didn't want to get up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw someone who was refreshed and energetic, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed.
"It doesn't seem to be enough!" Qin Zheng pursed the corners of his mouth and said lightly.
Qiu Chen kicked him, and immediately jumped out of bed and fled into the clean room with a weak heart, but he didn't hear Qin Zheng's words similar to talking to himself.
took the soothing flower dew and dripped it into the soup, Qiu Chen spread it out and soaked it for two quarters of an hour, then he felt that the pain in his body was better, and he drank a bowl of bird's nest soup, and his strength came back.
Because of the fate, and this kind of more formal audience, Qiu Chen could only endure to put on a big makeup again, put on the crown of Mrs. Chaopin's hair, and put on a super red dress...... finally dressed himself up as a costumed version of the puppet, which finally made the two teaching grandmothers nod in approval.
All the way, he sat in the elephant-eyed lattice carriage with green enclosure and gold, and Qin Zheng rode a horse to follow the side of the car, surrounded by family guards in front and behind, all the way out of the Liangguo Mansion, and went to the Xihua Gate of the palace city.
Foreign women are generally seen by the harem lords, and rarely face the saints. Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen are slightly different today, and the newlywed is a seal, so naturally he wants to invite Xie En, but he didn't expect that when Huang Fuhai passed the decree yesterday, he brought the holy oracle and asked Qin Zheng to take the bride to meet on the second day.
Getting out of the car outside the Xihua Gate, Qiu Chen hung his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and followed Qin Zheng all the way to the palace gate.
There were two little eunuchs standing inside the Xihua Gate, and when they saw the two of them coming, they hurriedly greeted them.
Lowering his hand, the two little eunuchs said very enthusiastically: "Hou Ye, the county lord, Mr. Huang sent the little ones to wait, and when he saw the Hou Ye and the county lord, he led the two to the Qianqing Palace to see the driver." ”
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, took two small gold bills from his cuffs and handed them to the two little fathers-in-law. These two followed Huang Fuhai to the Liang Guogong Mansion yesterday, and now they were expelled to follow them, presumably they are deeply trusted by Huang Fuhai, and they can also speak, so she naturally will not treat them as ordinary little chamberlains.
The two little chamberlains won the reward, thanked them with a smile, and then turned around and led the two into the palace gate, and immediately two honest and strong eunuchs carried a small bright sedan chair over, and the two little chamberlains invited Qiu Chen to get on the sedan chair.
Although Qiu Chen's legs are sore, he can't wait to find a place to sit crookedly, and he doesn't want to take a step, but the imperial city at this time is not the Palace Museum, let you go, at this moment, this tall and majestic and magnificent place is actually the place where the most conspiracies are gathered, and it is also the place where the rules and etiquette are the most strict and complicated.
Besides, whether it is Qin Zheng or herself, she is already living on the tip of the knife, who knows if Lu Dao will be careless, she will end up with a white blade and a whimper!
Her legs are sore, and her waist is heavy and she can only grit her teeth if she wants to break it, at this time, she can't wait to be low-key and low-key, but she doesn't dare to attract any more eyes.
Politely refusing the sedan chair, Qiu Chen followed closely behind Qin Zheng and walked all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
I don't know if I saw Qiu Chen's discomfort and crying, Qin Zheng changed his habit of walking like the wind on weekdays, but slowly paced Fang Step inside. At this speed, Qiu Chen can keep up even if his legs hurt and his back hurts.
Entering the palace from the Xihua Gate, if you want to reach the Qianqing Palace, you must first pass through the West Palace Garden along the small square between the front hall and the harem, so as to enter the Longzong Gate, and enter the Qianqing Palace located in the center of the harem.
