Chapter 173: It Might Be Both
Chapter 173 may have both
Seeing the woman smiling, Gu Zi walked out, Qin Zheng stared at the shaking door curtain, and only let out a long breath after a while.
Tang Wenyong and Qin Yi and Qin Li came out of nowhere, and entered the back room with an ambiguous smile, and even An Lu followed behind with a bowl of chicken soup without a trace of heat.
Tang Wenyong sat opposite Qin Zheng, leaned over with a smile and said, "What, what are you talking about?" I see that the jubilant is not ...... Yes? Speaking of zuihou, Tang Wenyong raised his chin very weakly and gestured to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng didn't pay attention to this, only raised his eyelids and swept towards Qin Yi and Qin Li, that cold look made Qin Yi and Qin Li shudder, quickly reined in the gossip factor all over his body, and stood up straight in a proper manner, waiting for orders.
Qin Zheng didn't continue to pay attention to Qin Yi and Qin Li, but turned his gaze to Tang Wenyong and ordered, "You go and check Huyanxun...... What did he do before he became a naturalized citizen...... The more detailed, the better! ”
Although Tang Wenyong is sometimes quite unflat, he is definitely not the kind of person who can't see what is good or bad, when he saw Qin Zheng's face full of solemnity and a positive face, he also restrained the uninhibited on his face, responded respectfully, and hurriedly went out. The bridle boy was the most slippery, and when he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly took the chicken soup and retreated. The bowl he served was cold, and he was just in time to change to a hot bowl.
In a moment, Qin Yi and Qin Li were left in the house, still standing under the kang and listening to orders.
Qin Zheng sat upright, one hand on his knee, his index finger tapping his knee lightly and rhythmically, his face turned sideways, his gaze still fell on the bare narcissus, his face was dark and cold, and his eyes revealed a heavy pain at an angle that no one could see.
He was talking about family relationships and all kinds of pasts...... She said a lot, but hardly a word about the past. Almost all she said was planning and looking forward to the future, and she was talking about her family and children!
When he asked, she said that she couldn't be idle, and she said that she couldn't get used to the kind of aggrieved life of staying in the house......
She said that her future will be leisurely in the world, how much happy, how much wanton......
Speaking of that, her whole face seemed to glow, no, her whole person suddenly came alive and light, more than the sun...... Stabbed him in the eye...... And it hurts rawly!
At this time, he thought that he seemed to be pierced by the strong light again, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
After a while, the throbbing and pain in his heart were slightly better, so that he could bear it and not lose his body in front of others.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Zheng turned his gaze back, glanced at Qin Yi and Qin Li under the kang, and lightly ordered: "Go, deal with that matter......
Qin Yi and Qin Li obviously knew what Qin Zheng was referring to, and without hesitation, he responded respectfully, Qin Li took a few steps back, turned around and lifted the curtain to go out. Qin Yi stood beside Qin Zheng with his hands down, standing quietly.

Yufeng's hands were very skillful, so she first came over and thinly smoothed Qiu Chen's hair from beginning to end, then tilted her head and asked, "Madam, what kind of hairstyle do you comb?" ”
What hairstyle, where does Qiu Chen know what hairstyle?
Since she came to this shijie, the most she has seen is the women in the village, simply using a hairpin to wrap a bun on the top of their heads, and if there is no hairpin, they wrap their hair in a bun with a handkerchief, which is neat and neat. Although he has also been to the county seat and the city, there are few women from large families on the street, and they all take a car and sit in a sedan chair to cover up, Qiu Chen has seen it once or twice, and at a quick glance, where can he see what hairstyle people comb. Besides, even if she saw it clearly, she didn't know what the name of the complicated hairstyle was.
Waving his hand, Qiu Chen said casually: "You look at the comb, don't be too complicated, just simple and neat!" ”
Yufeng was stunned, and when it came to the simple and neat hairstyle, she really couldn't think of anything better than the bun that Madame used to wear at the back of her head...... However, this is not something she can say, since the lady asked her to comb her hair, she naturally wanted to change her hairstyle.
Tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Yufeng pondered and asked: "Madam, then a fragrant bun with Chaoyun is the simplest, neat, and dignified and good-looking......"
Qiu Chen listened to it simply, neatly and dignifiedly, so he interrupted Yufeng's introduction, "Okay, just ...... this."
When it comes to names, Qiu Chen can't say it, with his hair curled, he can still make such a cumbersome name...... I just wish my hair wasn't as cumbersome as the name suggests!
"Chaoyun is close to the fragrant bun!" Yufeng smiled slightly, and began to coil her hair in a bun with both hands flexibly.
It's really like what Yufeng said, this Chaoyun near fragrant bun is to divide the hair from the middle to both sides, comb it up at the back of the head, and twist it into a spiral-shaped bun in the middle of the top of the head. Although it was more troublesome than Qiu Chen's usual combing of her hair, it was not beyond her patience.
Putting her hair in a bun, Yufeng took Qiu Chen's makeup box, tilted her head and asked, "Madam, use that hairpin?" ”
Qiu Chen's gaze swept over more than a dozen hairpins carved in silver, jade or wood, and did not immediately answer Yufeng's inquiry, but asked rhetorically: "Can people who serve filial piety use hairpins?" ”
Yufeng was slightly stunned, then looked at the makeup box and said: "Although it is not good to wear jewelry, the hairpin with a simple style can still be used...... Mrs. These hairpins are generous and simple in appearance, and there are no overly gorgeous things, they can all be used. ”
Qiu Chen nodded, lowered his eyes and flicked it in the makeup box, and twisted a green jade bamboo hairpin out. Yufeng took the hairpin, measured it, and then inserted it diagonally on the side of Qiu Chen's bun.
Holding a mirror, Yufeng motioned to Qiu Chen: "Madame, can you still be happy when you look at your hair?" ”
Qiu Chen looked left and right through the mirror, looking at this Chaoyun near incense bun Although the name is cumbersome, the hairstyle is really as Yufeng said, simple, generous and dignified, and it is much better than her bare bun on the back of her head on weekdays, Qingyu's hairpin is simple and generous, and it echoes the indigo blue dress on her body, which looks capable and solemn...... Qiu Chen was very satisfied and nodded approvingly. Yufeng's face turned red slightly.
Qingxing walked in from the outside, and when she saw Qiu Chen, she was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled: "Madame is so beautiful today...... Madame is good-looking, but she doesn't pay much attention to cleaning up on weekdays......"
Before she finished her words, she was pulled by Yufeng's hand, and suddenly found that she had said too much, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and was about to kneel down to plead guilty.
Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, that's it, you're complimenting me for looking good!" ”
Qingxing hurriedly bent her knees and thanked her.
But I heard Qiu Chen say again: "However, in the future, you have to be distracted when you speak, don't say anything out of your mouth...... If you do this in front of outsiders, not only will you lose my face and offend people who shouldn't be offended, but I will also be unable to protect you. ”
Qingxing and Yufeng hurriedly bent their knees in unison and agreed.
Qiu Chen said again: "What did you say when you came in?" ”
Qingxing then remembered the original intention of coming in, and said with a red face: "Madam, it was Aunt Daxing who asked me to come in and ask, where is the pot for lunch today, where is the lunch place......
The smile on Qiu Chen's face was thick, and he waved his hand: "Just put it on the kang...... Then move a table and put it under the kang, add a pot, and put all kinds of seasoning dishes...... You go and pass the word and come back quickly, spread the oilcloth on the kang, and even cover the edge of the kang, so you won't be afraid of oil! ”
Qingxing repeatedly agreed to quit to pass the word, Yufeng hurriedly took a few steps into the back room, went to the kang cabinet and took out two oilcloths, and when Qingxing came in, the two of them laid the oilcloth on the kang together. The huge fire kang is refreshing and refreshing, only a kang table is placed in the middle of the kang, and several cushions of different sizes are placed around the kang table. Let the empty kang instantly become lively and vivid, think of people sitting on the warm ondol, eating hot pot for a while, and then leaning or sitting on the ground to rest for a while, drinking a cup of hot tea...... How cosy and comfortable it should be!
As soon as it was arranged, the children cheered and laughed and came back from school, and the family expressed full interest in Qiu Chen's hair bun when they entered the door, and looked at Qiu Chen's hair one by one.
Aman was the most direct, hugging Qiu Chen's neck, raising his little hand to carefully touch Qiu Chen's hair, and said with a smile: "Mother is so beautiful!" ”
Qiu Chen kissed his daughter's red and bulging cheeks, and said with a smile: "Man'er looks better than her mother when she grows up!" ”
After speaking, he put Man'er on the kang and patted her little buttocks: "Okay, hurry up and sit down to eat, let's eat the pot today!" ”
Before the words were spoken, the children's cheers rang out.
The family had a hot pot lunch with joy, and the children took a short break, sweated, and went out to school again.
The pots and dishes had been cleaned up, Qiu Chen sat on the edge of the kang, holding a cup of tea and Yang Shuyong Yang Shu on the opposite side and said fiercely: "Big brother and second brother, in the morning, the lord in the house sent someone to spread the word, saying that he came to visit in the afternoon. ”
Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng also heard about this, and also wanted to ask their sister, but when they heard their sister mention it first, Yang Shuyong immediately asked: "Does this person have anything to do with our family?" How did you remember coming to our house? ”
There are contacts...... It's not just as simple as having a relationship!
Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, looked at the pale yellow and clear tea soup in his hand, and said lightly: "It is said that this lord was rescued by the Lin family in Northern Xinjiang...... Come to think of it, this time this adult came to visit, the main thing is the Lin family's side......"
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at the two brothers, looking at the sudden look on their faces, and a faint bitterness spread in his heart: "I don't mainly visit our family, I think about what the eldest brother and second brother should do in the afternoon, and we don't have to worry too much." ”
Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng both nodded and came down.
Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "It's just right, it's about to be the New Year, so I thought it would be good to get some game for the New Year...... I heard that there are many hunters in Wangjiamiaozi, and there is nothing to do in the second half of today, or the eldest brother and the second brother will take people around, make a deal with those hunters, and send wild things to us, and we will go to the side to buy them! ”
Yang Shuyong Yang Shumeng has adapted for more than half a year, and he is also used to Qiu Chen's exquisite life, not to mention, the family is better at this time, not to mention that his sister spends money, it is the salary of their brothers, and it is not too much to buy some game for the New Year. The days are good, isn't it just for the old man's wife and children to eat well and dress well, and it's the New Year, it's worth spending a few extra dollars!
The two agreed without hesitation, Qiu Chen opened the box and took out a dozen taels of broken silver, took out two more pieces of money, and put them in a bag together and handed them to Yang Shuyong: "Then the two brothers should take advantage of the morning, the road is not easy to walk, you should come back early after finishing your errands, don't go at night!" ”
Yang Shuyong Yang Shumeng agreed, put on a leather jacket and hat, and said goodbye to Qiu Chen and went out to greet people and ride horses.
Qiu Chen sat back on the kang at this time, slowly touched the teacup, took a sip, and pressed the breath in his throat!
The work that should be done has been done, the person who should leave the scene has been arranged, and the next thing to do is nothing more than waiting, waiting for the person to come to the door, waiting for the words to be clear!
After drinking a cup of tea, Qiu Chen sent Yufeng to the gate to call Shunzi and Qingjiang in, and Daxing followed Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng to Wangjia Temple.
Shunzi Qingjiang came in, Qiu Chen instructed a few words, and sent the two out, and then Qiu Chen went to the East Cross Courtyard again, and told Lan Ying, Liu Zhanxiang, Lin Zi and others that there were distinguished guests at home in the afternoon, so that they could take care of their helpers and not move around, so as not to collide with the guests and cause trouble.
These people of the Lin family have also seen it, and when they saw that Qiu Chen came over to tell him in person, they all knew that it should not be ignored, so they agreed again and again, and hurried to restrain the helpers.
When Qiu Chen turned back, he instructed the Shunzi family and the Qingjiang family to guard the gate of the courtyard, and no one was allowed to come to the main courtyard without her permission.
Back in the backyard, I took a book and looked at it casually on the kang. Everything was ready, and when the real problem came, she was not nervous, and soon concentrated on looking at an ancient medical book recipe.
Before a recipe could be carefully refined, Qing Xing hurriedly came in and reported: "Madam, someone in front of the door said that the commander of the palace guard, Lord Huyan, came to visit!" ”
Qiu Chen's heart jumped, but he still sat up straight slowly, looked at Qing Xing with empty hands and said, "They said it was a big deal?" Since you are a visitor, why don't you even have a famous post? ”
My wife has always been kind, and the guests who came to the door never took the initiative to ask for a post......
Qingxing was slightly stunned, but reacted very quickly, and immediately agreed respectfully: "It's the slave and maid who are negligent, and the slave and maid will pass the word over!" ”
Qiu Chen nodded slightly, watched Qingxing take two steps back, turned around and walked out of the house.
Hu Yanxun sat in the carriage and did not get out of the carriage, Han Liu came to the door with a guard and knocked on the door.
Shunzi and Qingjiang took Qiu Chen's special advice, and they were extra cautious today. On weekdays, guests are rarely asked to wait for reports, and this day is enough. It's just that what they didn't expect was that Mrs. said again that she wanted to see the other party's name...... Most of this stickers are the etiquette of high-ranking families and officials and nobles, not to mention the Zhuang households, even the small households with few worship posts.
However, even if it was Qingxing's words, how could he not coax his father in such a matter, Shunzi asked in a daze: "Do you really want to worship the post?" ”
Qingxing was a little anxious, and pulled her father to the second gate for a few steps, and moved away from the main room, then lowered her voice and said, "Dad, can I lie to you?" Go, go, ma'am, wait......"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again, leaned on the root of Junzi's ear and whispered: "Dad, you tell your mother, open your eyes today, don't light the fire, Mrs. looks bad at it." ”
Junzi nodded again and again: "We are outside, how many times can we see the master's house, I think you are still careful to serve......"
Qing Xing interrupted Junzi's untimely nagging with some disgust, and said in a low voice: "How many times have you said this...... Go and ask for a post, madame wait! ”
Junko slapped her head at this time, turned around and hurried back to the front yard.
Regarding Hu Yanxun's life experience, it may be that among all the guards, Han Liu knows the most. This made him wonder very much, why did this adult of his family go back to his own home, why did he still hide, and rode a horse and car, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he didn't say that he went directly to the door, and asked him to come forward and knock on the door...... There's a little bit of a home away from here!
Could it really be that as the rumors say, adults have plans to stop their wives and marry again?
However, this speculation can only be passed in my heart, and I dare not show it on my face at all. In official affairs, he may have one more word, but when it comes to other people's family affairs, he can't say more.
After patiently waiting for the tea, the honest-looking doorman hurried back from behind.
Han Liu hurriedly collected his thoughts, smiled and arched his hand, waiting for the result of Menzi's reply, but Shunzi bowed his hand respectfully in return, and then said with a glance: "This master, we ...... Well, I was confused just now, and I remembered when I entered the second gate, and I haven't taken the name of the Lord of your mansion yet, how can I ...... this back?"
The smile on Han Liu's face froze suddenly.
The couple ...... One goes back to his house to hide his head and tail; A husband wants to enter the door, and he still needs a name? Alas, who is this!
However, people guarded the door, and if they didn't take the worship post, they would have to eat the closed door soup, and Han Liu didn't dare to say more, so he reluctantly arched his hand towards Shunzi, turned around and returned to the carriage, and whispered back to Hu Yanxun in the car.
Since passing Qingshui Town, the closer he gets to Liujiaao, looking at the familiar mountains, rivers, trees and fields on both sides of the road, Hu Yanxun can hardly suppress the excitement in his heart. After all, he has lived here with his second brother for ten years, and although the remote mountain village of Liujiaao is not his hometown, it is close to his hometown.
A grass and a tree, a mountain and a stone, I used to live in it, and I didn't feel anything, after three years of absence, I experienced life and death, changed the world, and came back to see it again, but I felt that there was a kind of heartfelt kindness and familiarity, so that he couldn't help but have some faint expectations and joy when he went home.
The wife is not outstanding, but she is also gentle and docile; Moreover, there was a child, when his wife was pregnant and gave birth, he was also ecstatic as a first-time father. When his son was a child, he also changed his shirt for him, and when his son fell and cried, he also held it in his arms and coaxed him; For the first Chinese New Year with his son, he also, like many fathers, use chopsticks dipped in water and wine to feed the children's mouths......
When he left, the child was not yet two years old, and three years later, his son is almost five years old...... But in his memory, his son still seems to retain a little bit of the appearance of walking and staggering.
This involuntary remembrance is interrupted by a frozen pond, a paved road, and a large new blue-gray house.
The thatched hut fence in his original memory was gone, and the location that should have been his home appeared, and a large newly built house appeared, from the mountain all the way to Xiangshang, and the houses were spread out one after another, occupying a small thirty acres of land, completely erasing his most familiar and intimate memory.
The car was parked outside the neat gate, and Hu Yanxun was still a little unable to come back to his senses. He asked Han Liu to come forward and knock on the door, he looked at Han Liu and turned back with a different expression, he heard Han Liu's inquiry and asked him for a name post......
Hehe, I even know the name post, his wife has changed too much? Or does his wife have too much knowledge? Or maybe he hadn't really gotten to know his wife before?
The corners of his mouth provoked a mocking smile, and Hu Yanxun waved his hand: "Give it to her!" ”
Han Liu bowed in response, took out a delicate gold-sprinkled name card from his arms, held it in both hands, respectfully returned to the door, and handed it to Junzi.
"Wait a minute!" Junzi looked polite, not like a fake, but also took the name with both hands, and quickly went into the inner courtyard to report.
This time, Junzi came back quickly, but after a while, he turned back, replied respectfully, took Han Liu and the two guards off the threshold, and led Hu Yanxun's carriage sideways into the courtyard gate.
Hu Yanxun suppressed the emotion in his heart, which he didn't know whether it was anger or something, and bent down and got out of the carriage. Immediately, a guard sent a fox fur to put on Hu Yanxun, and he waved the guard away and tied his belt.
Standing still in the courtyard, his gaze couldn't help but look around.
Here, there is no longer the appearance of the memory. Not only is the fence of the hut gone, but all other traces seem to have been erased out of thin air, and he is here, in a trance, as if the ten years have just been a long dream, and when he wakes up, all the bittersweet and sour have become ethereal, and there is no trace.
"This lord, please sit in the small living room for a while, my wife will come over soon!" Shunzi followed Qiu Chen's instructions, politely and respectfully led Hu Yanxun to the small flower hall set up in the upside-down seat.
Hu Yanxun looked at the direction of Shunzi's guidance, his eyes were slightly cold, his hand adjusted his sleeves casually, and said lightly: "Since you have arrived here, how can you not worship the royal pen yourself?" Lead the way! ”
Junzi was stunned, rubbed her hands a little overwhelmed, and said, "My lord, this is ...... Let's wait for the lady to come out! ”
Junzi is honest and honest, but it doesn't mean that he has few eyes, and honest people also have the intuition that honest people are more sensitive. The one who lived in the west room of the main house, although he couldn't see how rich and expensive he was, he didn't have many followers, and his life was simple, but his wife was not far or close, but he made careful arrangements for everything, but he saw it in his eyes. Just for the man's injury, he stewed a pot of clear soup in his kitchen every day. Just that pot of clear soup, more than 100 people in Dongkuan Courtyard couldn't eat it for two months.
There were also the ladies who seemed to be casual, but in fact they were very careful to tell them to avoid the house on weekdays, so as not to disturb the man's injuries. In order to clean the front yard, they were also deliberately moved from the first into the backyard...... Since then, the front yard has been cleaner than the backyard, although it is entered. Even the young master and his uncles moved into the backyard. The little master and the young lady love to talk and laugh at an age, and when she comes back from outside, she doesn't dare to speak out when she enters here......
Such an important person...... He didn't dare to lead people into the house without his wife's permission.
During the stalemate, Qiu Chen walked out of the backyard with Yufeng Qingxing, and at a glance saw a group of people still standing in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes barely stopped on Hu Yanxun, and fell directly on Shunzi.
Seeing Qiu Chen come out, Shunzi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is the commander of the fourth guard, let him stand up to it like this, but after a moment's effort, he was a little sweaty.
Hurriedly taking a few steps, Shunzi bowed down to Qiu Chen and said, "Madam, this lord wants to worship our family's royal letter first!" ”
Huyanxun saw the woman who came out of the corner gate one step ahead of Junko.
The woman was dressed in a white dress and green clothes, wearing an indigo gray squirrel skin cloak, her hair was in a high bun, and she only inserted a jasper hairpin diagonally, and the rest of the hairpin rings were gone, the fat powder was not applied, the waist was soft but straight, the shoulders were slender and weak but upright, so unhurried step by step, so unhappy and angry, calm and indifferent, obviously a woman in her early twenties, but she made the cold winter courtyard alive and bright, step by step.
Hu Yanxun was a little dazed. Some of them looked at the woman across from them and nodded, signaling that she understood, and then walked past the servant and walked all the way to him.
Step by step, getting closer, Hu Yanxun's eyes couldn't help but want to find his familiar memories on the other party's face...... However, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, he suddenly found that in his memory, the woman who ran the family for his wife and for him to have children and raise children was actually blurred, and he vaguely wanted to extract a clear image, but he couldn't!
It seems that in his memory, the woman who shared the bed for several years turned into a few words - gentle and supple, with little knowledge!
In a trance, the woman opposite had already come to a dozen steps in front of him and stopped.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qiu Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Huyan, I didn't expect to meet again!" Hehe, I don't know if it's a visit from Lord Huyan, if there is any rudeness in the family, I hope that the adult Haihan! ”
Hu Yanxun tugged the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or what, nodded to Qiu Chen, and said straightforwardly: "Since you have the imperial gift, you should bow first, and then ask Mrs. to lead the way!" ”
Qiu Chen didn't refuse, turned his head with a smile, whispered two words to Yufeng, and watched Yufeng hurriedly go to the main room, then turned back to Hu Yanxun and said: "Don't blame your lord, that royal pen book is extraordinary, and the family doesn't dare to make decisions without permission." ”
Hu Yanxun naturally didn't hold on to this matter, shook his head disappretently, watched Qiu Chen raise his hand, straighten his clothes, and walked towards the door of the main house with his feet raised.
A few people walked to the door of the house, and their own girls raised the indigo three-shuttle cotton curtain from the house, Hu Yanxun bowed slightly, and raised his feet to enter the door.
In the winter room, because of the hanging curtains and thick window paper, the light in the room is very dim, fortunately, the corners of the room on both sides have been lit with lamps and candles, and the candles are swaying, although the light is also limited, but at least it will not let people step forward and produce that feeling of temporary blindness.
Pausing at the door, Hu Yan straightened his face and looked up at the plaque hanging high across the room. The four gilded characters of 'Loyalty, Righteousness and Wind' are still eye-catching in the light of the candle flame!
The most important thing is the seal at the place of payment, marking the high imperial power of the imperial pen!
Qiu Chen followed Hu Yanxun into the house, stood sideways, looked at the man with a solemn face, untied his big clothes, straightened his clothes, and respectfully knelt and kowtowed to a plaque, got up again, knelt down again, and respectfully performed three kneels and nine bows, which can be regarded as a ceremony.
Qiu Chen saw him get up, and said with a smile: "Lord Huyan, please have tea in the Little Flower Hall!" ”
As he spoke, Yufeng sent Hu Yanxun's big curtain up, and Qingxing opened the curtain.
Raising his eyebrows, Hu Yanxun glanced at the woman with a calm expression and a flawless smile, suppressed the worries and doubts in his heart, wrapped his cloak, and went out of the door along the way, and then, with a turn of footsteps, followed Qiu Chen's master and servant all the way into the west wing.
There are only three rooms in the west wing, with a bright and dark pattern. However, the Lin family's house is high and deep, so although there is only one living room, it is not cramped and cramped.
Qiu Chen accompanied Hu Yan into the house, the door curtain fell behind the two, Qiu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lord Hu Yan, please!" ”
Hu Yanxun stared at the woman with a dignified smile, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, she could only retract her gaze stiffly, move her legs and feet stiffly, and sat down in the guest seat with the woman's gesture.
Yufeng Qingxing wanted to follow and send the tea up, but this time, Hu Yanxun didn't wait for Qiu Chen to speak, and waved his hand: "Go down!" ”
Yufeng Qingxing was a little stunned, respectful and unchanged, but she didn't move, only looked at Qiu Chen with those eyes and asked.
The smile on the corner of Qiu Chen's mouth turned into a touch of mockery, and only then did he remember to be the master? It's late!
"Go boil water in the kitchen!" It was so cold outside the house, Qiu Chen didn't want to celebrate the New Year, and Yufeng Qingxing and Xing were frostbitten again.
Qingxing and Yufeng bent their knees, exited the door, and went to the kitchen to wait.
The west wing room is also equipped with a fire wall, and charcoal is burned in the kang hole in the middle of the two rooms, and while the kang is heated, the fireworks pass through the kang and then through the fire wall to heat the living room. It's just that the effect of such a fire wall is not very good, especially when this wing room has not been inhabited for a long time, it is estimated that the house will not be warm for a day just by relying on the fire wall heating. Two more blazier braziers were added to the middle of the living room, which dispelled the coldness of the room, leaving only the warm and pleasant warmth of the room.
However, contrary to the warmth of the room, the faces of the two people in the room were a little cold.
Not to mention Hu Yanxun, who had been smiling all the time, even Qiu Chen, who had been smiling, smiled silently, sat silently on the chair, lowered his eyes lightly, held a cup of tea but didn't drink it, just scraped it silently with the lid of the cup, making a slight crisp sound of porcelain colliding.
“…… Begonia! Hu Yanxun spoke first, breaking the cold silence of the room.
Qiu Chen slowly raised his eyes, calmly looked back at the man beside him, and said lightly: "Lord Huyan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Hu Yanxun's blocked face turned cold, but he tried to suppress the anger in his chest, Zuihou exhaled a long breath and said, "Begonia, there is no one here, why should you and I be like this?" ”
At the beginning of the words, Hu Yanxun's thinking and language seemed to be smoothed out all of a sudden, he turned sideways, looked at the woman who was only a few feet away, and said earnestly: "I know, I have been gone for three years, so that your mother and son have a lot of suffering at home, but this is also something that cannot be helped. When I first went to the frontier, I was conscripted, and my daily labor was heavy, and I was guarded by soldiers bravely, in case the conscripts couldn't stand the hard work and escaped...... In such a place, in addition to the same conscripts, the soldiers who are guarded, and then there is the vast wasteland...... Or the snowy ...... I just want to communicate with my family, but I can't ......."
Qiu Chen returned to sitting silently, lowered his eyes and listened silently, without saying a word.
She's listening, or she's listening for Begonia. Come to think of it, that woman must want to hear this man's defense, although these defenses that made him very emotional were just an excuse for his own irresponsibility!
“…… Later, I was injured and almost died, and I lay on the kang for more than two months before I got back to the ground...... Later, although I joined the military, I was just a small banner leading ten people. And every day I was busy getting acquainted with the barracks, and the next thing was to go out to war...... Only three of my original ten men remained, and they all died, without exception, under the scimitars of the Rong people on the battlefield...... If you don't want to die, you can only ...... desperately"
Hu Yanxun's description was a little difficult, his words were choppy and tattered, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly nervously......
Qiu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the man who was completely immersed in his memories and emotions, and sighed silently. Begonia, you see, all he thinks about is his own, he has never had you in his heart, not even his children!
Hu Yanxun's voice gradually lowered and gradually stopped, he raised his eyes, his gaze still had traces of memory touching, but after seeing who was sitting in front of him, he quickly retracted his expression and took the tea and drank it.
Qiu Chen watched him drink tea, put down the cup, calmly lifted the teapot and refilled the cup for him, raised his eyes to look over, and said, "It's really not easy for you in the past three years!" ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Hu Yanxun's eyes, and then he said with some emotion: "Yes! At that time, I was just thinking that I could survive, but I really didn't dare to think about today......"
Qiu Chen nodded: "It's not easy for you to get to this day, naturally you can't allow anything to ruin your future......
"You, what do you mean by asking your second brother to write a letter like that?" Hu Yanxun was inexplicably irritable and angry, and asked with a stiff neck.
Qiu Chen waved his hand, signaling that he had ears across the wall, and slowly spoke: "Don't worry, listen to me......"
Seeing that Hu Yanxun still had a cold face, but was finally willing to calm down, Qiu Chen spoke again: "I'm not angry with you, and I don't blame you, you couldn't do anything about it when you were a husband." The main reason why I say that is, of course, for your future...... In addition, it is also taking into account the Lin family...... You haven't mentioned this to me before......"
Hu Yanxun subconsciously defended: "In that situation at that time, it was for your good not to tell you......"
"I didn't mean to complain about you, I just talked about things." Qiu Chen hooked his lips and said lightly, "That kind of situation...... Although the Lin family has now been pardoned, where is the matter of the second brother after all, and if he has close contacts with you, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, which is very likely to hook up the old things of the past...... I think you know more about this than I do, once someone pulls it out, it will be a big crime to harbor Qin...... Also, now that Lin Sheng's Lin of the Lin family is deceased, it has reached heaven's hearing, and the matter of you changing your name to the military cannot be reversed...... For this kind of reason, in addition to you and I getting rid of each other, may I ask Lord Huyan, is there a more haode way to do both? ”
