Qiu Chen hurriedly took it off and returned it: "Your old blessing little girl is enough, she doesn't wear this thing......"

The old lady looked at it for a while, took a jade ring from her finger, took Aman's little hand, and put it on her thumb.

The old lady looked at the generous Aman and the timid Yu sister, and looked at it, and the daughter-in-law behind her hurriedly took three golden bills with tassels and put them into the hands of Brother Yun, Aman, and Sister Yu.

She has a high seniority, since she has said so, Qiu Chen naturally wants to lead Ah Man and Sister Yu to salute her. Just standing in the door of the house in such a crowd, there is no way to kowtow, so you can only bow deeply.

Qiu Chen smiled, bending his knees was considered to be down. He smiled and nodded with the daughter-in-law who was waiting beside the old lady...... The old lady turned her head to look at Ah Man and Sister Yu behind Qiu Chen, and asked with a smile, "These two girls are very handsome!" ”

The old lady looked back at Qiu Chen, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, this kid's appearance follows Brother Zheng'er, and his temper follows you, Brother Zheng is too stubborn!" ”

Curtsied, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "This is my own child, and it is naturally good for the ancestors to look at it." ”

Qiu Chen turned his eyes and saw an old lady in her early sixties teasing Brother Yun in the nurse's arms, Qiu Chen had seen this person, Qin Zheng's cousin, and she was the highest-ranking female in the Liang family.

"Oh, this is Brother Yun, right? Look at this appearance and bearing, it really conveys Brother Zheng'er's good appearance! An exaggerated voice sounded beside Qiu Chen.

Brother Yun is held by the Wang family, and she doesn't need Qiu Chen's care, she just distracts herself and always pays attention to Aman's little girl. I saw Ah Man with a well-behaved face, holding Sister Yu with one hand and following her.

There are a lot of Qin family members, not very many, Qin Xiuyi is the patriarch, and the seniority is also high, and there are only a few female dependents sitting here who are higher than Qiu Chen's seniority, and she bent her knees with a smile. As for the peers, it is enough to return the salute if there is a salute. The other Qiu Chen didn't rush to pay attention to it.

What Qiu Chen has to do is simple, just put on a smile and follow the Li family.

The hall was magnificently arranged, headed by the Li family, Qiu Chen took a step behind and walked in with all the concubines and concubines. There were already some ladies sitting in the room, and when they saw Li and Qiu Chen, they all got up and greeted each other, and Li smiled reservedly, politely but definitely not affectionately greeted everyone......

She has no prejudice against Aunt Xu, and for the sake of the face of Yixuan and Yiheng sisters, she will also be polite to the Xu family...... It's just that she will never get close to Qin Xiuyi's concubines, let alone favor one over the other!

Aunt Xu's face flushed slightly, she hung her head in response, and took a step back, Qiu Chen didn't say much, and continued to walk steadily.

Qiu Chen smiled, "Yixuan Yiheng is a younger sister, so it's natural to be closer." ”

Aunt Xu hurriedly took a step back respectfully, and smiled gently: "The young lady is polite...... Yixuan Yiheng was taken care of by the young lady, and the slave didn't know how to thank her! ”

When he went out, Qiu Chen hugged Brother Yun, took a step backwards, and felt that someone was helping him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the third aunt Xu. Although he didn't have a good impression of his aunts, because of the two sisters Yixuan and Yiheng, Qiu Chen also had a little good impression of this Xu family, smiled slightly, and thanked him.

However, after sitting in Hanlian Garden for a while, Li got up and greeted him, and took his family to the hall of the main courtyard.

Those concubines also had sour eyes one by one, and the concubines came forward to salute Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen smiled and asked the girl to hold it, and the forbidden step of one person and one gold coin string was all big red silk tassels, and even the patterns were the same, impartial.

Qiu Chen glanced at it, ignored it, and watched intently as the Li family teased Brother Yun'er to speak.

Aman agreed crisply, took Sister Yu'er's hand and went behind the adult to play and talk. Tian moved over at this time, took out a red purse and stuffed it into Aman's hand, Aman was not polite, picked it up casually, and bowed his knees to Tian's thanks......

Then patted Aman, who was holding on to him: "Go, you two sisters go play, watch your sister well, don't knock!" ”

Sister Yu looked at her mother who was frozen at the door, and timidly stepped forward to greet Qiu Chen. Qiu Chen didn't hold it, reached out to hold the little girl, took out a rich and flowery shrimp bracelet and put it on Sister Yu'er's wrist, looked at the little girl and smiled: "It looks like Sister Yu'er's complexion is much better......"

Li smiled and hugged Brother Yun over and held him in his arms, and Qiu Chen pulled Ah Man to sit under Li's hand.

After entering the door, let go of the children, the three children saluted Li in large and small ways, Qin Zheng led Qiu Chen to stand side by side, one bowed to the ground and one curtsied, Li was full of joy and hurriedly ordered the girl to help the children up, one person with a big red embroidered gold purse, Qin Zheng led Ah Fu out and went to the front yard.

Life is lived by oneself, and one's life is not good, what's the use of being jealous and sour?

This Tian is not a smart person, and Qiu Chen is too lazy to use psychological knowledge, isn't it just watching her be pampered, husband and wife love, and her husband fighting, isn't she jealous and sour? This kind of person has it all the time, he doesn't live a good life, he is not self-reliant, but he always stares at how comfortable other people's lives are, feels sorry for himself, and says sour things with jealousy...... What's the use?

After speaking, he didn't care about Tian, who was stiff and couldn't move, and walked straight inside with a smile on his face.

The smile on Qiu Chen's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Tian and smiled: "I can't compare to my younger brothers and sisters, I live close!" ”

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, his gaze swept over coldly, Tian was a shudder, and hurriedly wrung his hands and hung his head.

Tian stood at the bottom of the room, saw Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen coming in, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "If the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't come again, Madame will send someone to invite you!" ”

Qiu Chen led Brother Yun'er, and Qin Zheng led Afu Aman one step behind and entered the door.

The Li family's house was very lively, not only the second young grandmother Tian and Sister Yu were there, but also several of Qin Xiuyi's concubines and concubines.

The family will gather, clean up neatly, and then take a warm sedan chair from outside Wutong Garden, all the way, to Hanlian Garden.

After saying a few words, it was estimated that the hour was almost up, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng took Ah Fu Aman to wash, changed into more festive clothes, and it was almost time for Shen Shizhong. Brother Yun also woke up, and Wang and Steaming Xue changed into the clothes they had prepared long ago and hugged them.

Wang and Steaming Xue bent their knees, and Qiu Chen touched Brother Yun'er's little hand and turned out.

Brother Yun was still asleep, and Wang and Steaming Xue sat under the kang and guarded, talking in a low voice. Qiu Chen picked up the curtain and walked in, the two of them hurriedly got up and curtfell and saluted, Qiu Chen waved his hand, stepped forward lightly, leaned over to look at Brother Yun on the kang, asked a few words, and then advised: "Look at my brother, I went to wash and change my clothes, almost cleaned up for him, it's time to go!" ”

"Where's Brother Yun? I'll check it out! As he spoke, he turned around and came out and followed Lin to the west.

Qiu Chen sighed secretly, that kind of style is rare to see...... It's a pity!

Qin Zheng raised his eyes when he heard the sound, looked at Aman with a gentle gaze, straightened up, caught Aman who rushed over, and hugged the kang with a little force. Ah Fu took a step behind and calmly stepped forward to greet An, and Qin Zheng also patted the edge of the kang with a smile: "Come up and be warm." ”

"Daddy!" Aman came out from behind Qiu Chen and shouted happily.

As soon as Qiu Chen stepped in, Qin Zheng was leaning on a big pillow, crooked on the kang to read, and only wore an indigo thin silk diagonal nightgown outside the middle coat...... I have long known that this life is good-looking, and I can see that he is used to his upright and solemn appearance, such a charming appearance, even if she is a pillow person, she is fortunate to see it for the first time!

Brother Yun got up early in the morning, participated in the sacrifice in the morning and failed to catch up on sleep, and went to bed after lunch, and he didn't wake up yet.

Qiu Chen nodded in response, and walked all the way into the main house of Wutong Garden.

Lin took the girl's mother-in-law to meet at the gate of Wutong Garden, and while walking in with Qiu Chen, he replied in a low voice: "Master Hou and the little master came back after worshipping, and the lunch in the courtyard, the little boy ate fragrantly, and ate a minced egg custard and two milk nests. ”

Qiu Chen rushed over with Afu Aman and went straight into Wutong Garden.

Because the night of Chinese New Year's Eve had to observe the New Year, and the next morning they had to worship the ancestors, so Qiu Chen's family wanted to stay in the Liang Guogong Mansion for one night, dragging their children and daughters, naturally bringing more things, early, the Lin family brought Afu Aman's grandmother Zhao and Hu, and several maids-in-law, came to the Liang Guogong Mansion, cleaned and arranged the Wutong Garden, and made a fire to bake the house.

Qiu Chen arranged for Ping'an, Chen, and Wang to take care of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and ordered them to strictly restrain them. She took Afu Aman to Baishiqiao, took the two children to sacrifice to the ancestors of the Lin family and Lin Sheng, had lunch at Baishiqiao, rested for a while, and then took the two children to the Liangguo Mansion.

On the day of the thirtieth Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen took Brother Yun to worship the Duke of Liang in the Hou Mansion, and Qin Zheng took Brother Yun to the Duke of Liang's Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and all internal and external matters were basically dealt with, and even the New Year's benefits and rewards of the servants in the house were distributed. Qiu Chen was interested again, and took the children to steam rice cakes, steamed flower buns, steamed bean cakes, and sugar cakes on the kang......

Twenty-four...... Until the twenty-eighth, the shopkeeper and the head of the Zhuangzi of the shop came in to report the accounts and send the New Year, Qin Zheng ignored these, and Qiu Chen met them one by one.

On the 26th, the day that was originally optimistic, Xuan Bing wore a red wedding dress and came in to bow down to Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen, got married, went to the small courtyard across the courtyard, and became Qin Xiao's daughter-in-law, and became neighbors with Yufeng and Qingxing.

Before they returned home, the Chen family had already led people to clean up all the living places, the front yard living room, and the guest house, but only Mu'en Courtyard had been rearranged, and everything else was white and white, and the bed and curtain were not hanging. On the twenty-third day, he took someone to symbolically clean it, and then hung the new bed and curtain properly, and even the cotton curtains on the doors of the houses were replaced with new big red brocade curtains. The inside and outside are new, the windows are bright and clean, and the dust is not clean.

Qiu Chen didn't have a sacrificial stove, but he was also busy.

Last year, because Qiu Chen was confined, Qin Zheng was not at home, these things were arranged by the Chen family and Ping'an, she didn't pay much attention to it, and this year I personally experienced it to know that there is so much attention to a sacrificial stove. Wealthy families and official eunuchs must ask monks to chant the scriptures without saying anything. On weekdays, men pay attention to 'gentlemen and cook', but women are not allowed to participate on this day, only men sacrifice. There is also a saying that 'men do not worship the moon, and women do not sacrifice to the stove'.

Early in the morning of the 23rd, there were Taoist monks who came to the door, chanted the scriptures, and did sacrificial rituals. Qin Zheng took Ah Fu and Brother Yun and sacrificed the stove together.

After the letter, it is the New Year's goods list sent by Daxing this time, not to mention the lotus root, water chestnut and lotus seeds produced at home, and the mountain hazelnuts and oil chestnuts picked in the mountains are all good things. In addition, there are shoes and socks and hats made by Zhou and Zhao for the three children, as well as the gadgets that Lin Xu bought for the two children, as well as dried vegetables and pickled pickles by Lan Ying and Erkui's family, etc., Qiu Chen's heart was full of warmth.

Qiu Chen didn't want to get involved in the children's affairs, she just watched the two children rejoice, and she relaxed a lot with joy.

Obviously, Junyan Junzhang Junli's letter was very funny, and the Afu and Aman brothers and sisters smiled when they saw it, and laughed from time to time.

There are also a lot of fruit trees planted in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Qiu Chen doesn't have much idea about eating fruits, but he can't help but imagine what a beautiful picture it should be when the spring breeze warms up, the trees in front of the door are blooming, the clouds are steaming, and the bees are dancing and butterflies are around.

Yang Shuyong's letter also said that the fruit trees planted around the pond, in the back garden and on the back hill have grown a lot, and this year they have produced some fruit, because it is the first year, the quality is not very good, and it is estimated that there will be more fruit next year.

On the mountain behind Liujiaao Village, Luo Buma has not picked much, but the farmers of Liujiaao have no less income, most of them have entered the workshop to work, and the rest are planting vegetables, or breeding chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, etc., because there is the Lin family's workshop to carry it, do not worry about not being able to sell, and can make a lot of money a year. If you pick some Luobuma, Schisandra or something, every family will be very comfortable.

As for corn and potatoes, because they were planted in the second year, they were more proficient than those planted in the first year, and the yield was further improved. Chengshi was full of seeds, and the small ones and those that were not very solid did not come out of the ground, and they were snapped up by restaurants and large households that came to the door.

From the letters, it can be seen that the family is very smooth. Because of the wind and rain in a year, there is a bumper harvest in Zhuangzi, and the tomatoes are all wrapped by the Yun family, and they are transported as far as Jianghuai along the river, which is really popularized. Most of the chili peppers were made into chopped chili peppers and chili sauce, and they were also sold to the Yun family, and it is said that the one was sold even further, all the way to the land of the two lakes.

Turning into the inner room, Qiu Chen sat on the kang and began to tear open the letters. The first letter is Lin Xu's, and the other is written by Junwen in the tone of Yang Shuyong; There was also an envelope containing letters from Junyan Junzhang Junli and a few small things, and Qiu Chen handed it directly to Afu Aman to read.

Qiu Chen asked about the situation in the family and the workshop and Zhuangzi again, and it was really uncomfortable to see Daxing's restraint, so it was not difficult for him, and he waved his hand to send him down.

Qiu Chen responded with a smile, and Chengying stepped forward to take the letter.

As he spoke, Daxing took out a small package wrapped in a blue cocoon silk handkerchief from his arms, held it up with both hands and said, "This is a letter from the second master, the uncle, and the young master!" ”

Daxing's waist bent slightly, and he said respectfully: "Back to Mrs., the small one is the door that went out early in the morning on the third day of the lunar month, and the house that I entered last night." The journey was very smooth. ”

Looking at him like this, Qiu Chen looked uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything, so he softened his voice and asked, "When will you leave?" Did it go well along the way? ”

Daxing kowtowed again, and then got up and hung his hands and bowed his body to wait for the inquiry.

Qin Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a rare smile, and said in a gentle voice: "That's it, get up!" ”

Daxing lowered his hand and entered the Mu'en Courtyard, and when he walked into the house, he didn't dare to look up, and respectfully kowtowed to say goodbye: "The little one has seen Mrs. Hou, please say hello to Mrs. Hou!" ”

When I returned to the house, the family washed and changed their clothes, which made people pass on Daxing to come in.

Because of this, the family was a little depressed, only Brother Yun fell asleep in a daze, and woke up at this time, staring at his father and looking at his mother, Gu Zi was heartless and happy.

Qiu Chen glared at him with a smile, she couldn't persuade him here, he actually fanned the flames. This man...... Is! Is there such a face-to-face demolition?

Qiu Chen frowned slightly, and was about to say something more, but Qin Zheng looked up: "Don't blame her, I want to go back and have a look!" ”

The daughter who has always been lively but obedient did not respond this time, but drilled into Qin Zheng's arms.

"Man'er ......" Qiu Chen cleaned up his feelings, called his daughter, and thought about how to comfort his daughter.

Qiu Chen sighed secretly, she knew that the two children were homesick, missed Liujiaao's home, and missed the little friends who had played with them since childhood...... She also thinks about the small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers, and also thinks about those kind neighbors and friends...... However, since she has married Qin Zheng and married into the capital, she can no longer just speak and act by her own temperament. Qin Zheng has done a lot for their marriage, and she has to work together.

Ah Fu nodded obediently, but Ah Man still pouted, and was afraid of what his mother would say, so he simply turned around and nestled into Qin Zheng's arms, twisted his body, and muttered: "My cousins want to take the test, and my brother and I don't want to take the test, they can't come, why can't we go back......"

Qiu Chen also put the curtain down, patted Ah Fu Aman, who was a little lost after the joy, and said with a smile: "Okay, your cousin and they are going to take the exam next year, so you have to study with peace of mind at this time, how can you find time to come over!" ”

Qin Zheng responded, "Go back to the house and speak!" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen was also overjoyed, lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, he saw Daxing following behind Ping'an, kowtowing and standing up. Daxing was wearing a black muslin pimple leather robe and a pearl leather hat, which had not been seen for a year, Daxing was slightly fatter, and his complexion was very good.

Ping'an and Chen took people to a distance of more than ten miles outside the city, and before Qiu Chen could see it, Afu Aman shouted with joy on his face: "Daxing is here."

When I went to ride a horse late, I played on the Zhuangzi for two days, although I was not happy, but I was really tired, the family didn't even ride a horse for Qin Zheng, took the car, set off early, and went back to the capital slowly.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and early in the morning of the twenty-second morning of the lunar month, Qiu Chen and the three children are reluctant, and they can only embark on the return journey.

The rest of the time was relaxed and happy, the whole family mobilized into the mountains and forests to hunt, and when they came back in the evening, they soaked in the hot springs in Zhuangzi...... The reason why he couldn't soak in the hot spring on the first day was that Qiu Chen was absent-minded, and secondly, he didn't come to prepare in advance, and there was some sediment in the hot spring pool that needed to be cleaned up, at least twice.

Qiu Chen finally stepped forward and asked the two children a few words carefully, making sure that the two children did not have leg pain and back pain, so he relieved his heart and started to eat breakfast with the family.

Qin Zheng waved his hand and said gently: "As far as our family is concerned, we don't have to be like this." Come and eat! ”

Two big and one small cleaned up and turned out, Ah Fu Aman also washed up and changed his clothes, Ah Man was full of joy and infinite joy, and he was thinking about going into the forest to fight roe deer and yellow sheep, Ah Fu looked calm, but his eyes first fell on Qiu Chen's face, seeing his mother's ruddy complexion, and his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and opened a smile, and pulled Ah Man forward to salute Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen.

It's also a little donkey, is there a father who says this about his son! It sounds better to say that a foal is better than a foal! Is!

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows in slight surprise and looked at the two smiling masters, glared at Qin Zheng, and turned around to take a handkerchief to wipe his son's hands.

Qin Zheng hugged Brother Yun, looked at his wife's white cheeks slightly flushed with pink, his eyes were full of tenderness and smiles, but his expression and voice were still calm and unwavering: "He doesn't like to move in the house, and when he goes out, he is like a little donkey, but he can be happy with all his might!" ”

Seeing Qin Zheng enter the clean room, Qiu Chen also followed Brother Yun with him, and after watching Qin Zheng wash his hands and face, he asked him to hug Brother Yun, she washed her son's hands while asking her doubts.

Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, and hurriedly reached out to check the clothes behind the child, but fortunately, he was slightly damp and did not sweat. After reading it, she couldn't help but wonder, although Brother Yun learned to walk early, but after wearing thick cotton clothes and cotton pants at this time, he was wrapped into a little stupid bear, and he couldn't walk neatly, how could he still run and jump?

Looking at his wife's expression, he knew that he was distressed about the child, Qin Zheng smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about him, he can run and jump, he can't be cold!" ”

Brother Yun didn't wear a cloak, only wore a small rabbit skin melon skin ear protection hat, the little face was blown red by the morning wind, Qiu Chen had already combed his hair bun, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly got up to meet him, and reached out to touch Brother Yun'er's little hand first, but it was not as cold as she imagined, but it was hot, warmer than her hand.

Not long after Aman ran out, Qin Zheng also turned back with Brother Yun in his arms.

Now, the greatest freedom she can think of is to stay in the Zhuangzi for a few days. Alas!

Afu Aman was used to Liu Jiaao's relaxation and freedom when she was a child, but in fact, why shouldn't she? Or, she was less accustomed than they were to locking herself up in a high-walled yard. Although, once she didn't come out for ten days and half a month as soon as she entered the real room, after the work was over, she was still able to walk around and relax her spirit and mood. What's more, because of her professional reasons, there are many opportunities to go out to work, or even go abroad for exchanges......

Qiu Chen also smiled: "I was used to being wild when I was a child!" ”

Yue Gui pursed her lips and smiled, while her subordinates neatly combed Qiu Chen's hair: "The eldest lady doesn't talk about it on weekdays, but I don't know how to look forward to coming out for activities!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled, "This kid! ”

"No, I don't want to stay at home!" Aman shouted and jumped up, turned around and ran out, calling Shui Han and Meizi: "Prepare hot water, prepare riding clothes, I have eaten and am going to hunt!" ”

Qiu Chen raised his chin and snorted, Ah Man hugged his arms and shook it, Qiu Chen couldn't hold it, and nodded her head with a smile: "If you don't go to the shower and change your clothes, you can stay at home by yourself!" ”

Ah Man saw that Qiu Chen was a little annoyed and angry, and he couldn't care about looking at his mother's jokes, the monkey came up and hugged Qiu Chen's arm, looked up and smiled and said, "Mother, Daddy said that he would go hunting after eating, Mother, will you go?" ”

Secretly adjusting his expression, Qiu Chen turned his head as generously and calmly as possible, and said with a smile: "It's so babbling early in the morning!" …… Look at your sweaty face, go wash first, change your clothes and then talk! ”

"Mother, mother!" Aman ran in from outside the house crisply, and when she saw Qiu Chen who had just gotten up, the little girl was proud with some teasing, and looked at Qiu Chen with a smile, and Qiu Chen, who was already a little uncomfortable, was even more afraid to face her daughter's gaze.

Qiu Chen, who originally planned to get up early to take care of the children, for some reason, woke up from sleep and became the latest one in the family!

The two reconciled, and the whole atmosphere was exceptionally warm and harmonious.

She Qiu Chen never expected to live with anyone, with Qin Zheng, her life would be more complete and happy, if there was such a day in the future...... It's a big deal, she still fights back to her original shape, with her children, and she can live a rich and comfortable life.

Have fun and have fun right now!

No one can predict what the future holds. Maybe one day the relationship will fade, Qin Zheng will still make other choices, but this is like a thorn in the flesh of fish, but she Qiu Chen can't stop eating fish because of this. Today's Qin Zheng is really good to her, loves the house and Wu, treats Afu Aman more carefully and patiently than her mother, she really has nothing to be dissatisfied with, even so, if she thinks about what to do in the future, won't she be unable to get along with herself?

Qin Zheng's explanation, when it came to it, didn't seem to be very thorough, but Qiu Chen didn't ask any further. On the contrary, because Qin Zheng explained the reason for losing contact for a few months, he pulled out a thorn buried in her heart, and the two got along more harmoniously.

The quarrel at the head of the bed and the end of the bed, after thinking about it, Qiu Chen felt panicked, and the misunderstanding between her and Qin Zheng this time seemed to be to confirm this sentence.
