Chapter 149: Recognition

After Qiu Chen finished speaking, he waited for a moment and didn't see Hu Yanxun respond, and couldn't help but look up in surprise, but saw Hu Yanxun staring at him with a look of hatred, like that, as if he had committed a big sin!

She was stunned in her heart, but she still tried her best to calm down, and called out again: "Huyan Baihu, it is Xiaoke negligence, and I hope Huyan Baihu will forgive me!" ”

"You!" Hu Yanxun felt a pain in his chest, and wanted to question this woman why, repeatedly denying him, but when he opened his mouth, he only spit out one word.

"Master," the soft voice sounded again, and with this voice, there was a white-skinned slender hand like a green onion, which slowly lifted the car curtain, and then a coquettish-looking and amorous face was revealed, "Don't that scholar, why are you still called Baihu?" The master is now ordered to garrison Anyang, but the fourth guard is in command! ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen was stunned before he came to his senses. Hundred households are six grades, and they have been promoted to the fourth rank of the guard, although they are only two grades, but they can be six levels worse! It is rare to even be promoted to three levels, and it is even promoted to six levels...... Naturally, he is very proud, but he calls people one by one, no wonder people are unhappy!

Smiling, Qiu Chen arched his hand again and said, "Hehe, congratulations on Lord Huyan's promotion!" Xiao Ke really doesn't know the news blockage, those who don't know are not guilty, presumably there are a lot of adults, and they won't blame Xiao Ke for this, right? ……”

The more she smiled calmly and calmly, the more politely she spoke, the more gloomy and ugly Hu Yanxun's face became, listening to her still babbling endlessly, she finally couldn't help the anger in her chest, and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

Qingjiang originally followed behind Qiu Chen, quietly listening to his wife's negotiations with the other party, and when he heard that the two sides knew each other, he felt relieved, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the other party's face changed.

With a loud shout, Qiu Chen was startled and subconsciously stopped.

Qingjiang took two steps forward, knelt on the ground with a pop, and kowtowed to this Hu Yanxun: "My lord, my wife is unintentionally rushing, I hope my wife will forgive me, don't blame my wife......"

Hu Yanxun saw a man behind Lin Xu just now, but seeing that he was dressed as a servant, it was clear when he remembered the news that Han Liu had inquired about going back, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that this servant was loyal, and he actually stepped forward to ask for forgiveness for the woman!

Qiu Chen saw Qingjiang kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand to pull Qingjiang, and said: "Qingjiang, what are you doing, Lord Huyan and I are old acquaintances, Lord Huyan is a person with great achievements, how can he be like me...... Hurry up, you are like this, if you let others see it, won't you misunderstand Lord Huyan? ”

Qingjiang's heart was more sincere than Daxing, but he could also hear that Qiu Chen had something to say, so he was no longer reluctant and stood up according to Qiu Chen's words.

Hu Yanxun looked at the woman pulling and pulling on the street in front of him, and the green tendons on his forehead almost jumped out. Holding back his breath, he raised his hand and waved, and the four people who followed him, including the coachman, immediately controlled their horses and retreated far back.

Hu Yanxun also jumped off the horse, Qiu Chen pulled up Qingjiang, and when he turned around, he saw Hu Yanxun getting off the horse with an unkind face, and was walking towards her, and couldn't help but be startled, could it be that this person didn't scold him enough, and he still had to beat people?

Isn't it just that he walked carelessly and made his inner family knock a little, as for such a big anger?

However, Qiu Chen also understands that with her current identity, she has been whipped dozens of times on the street, and there is nowhere to reason! For a while, Qiu Chen was full of helplessness, but he didn't have much fear.

She slowly straightened her back, her eyes calmly and calmly watched Hu Yanxun approach step by step, no longer speaking, and she didn't even bother to maintain a smile!

Hu Yanxun walked a step in front of Qiu Chen, and suddenly waved his hand to Qingjiang and ordered, "You stand down!" ”

Qingjiang is really afraid, this shijie, the people are naturally afraid of being officials, not to mention that he is just a slave, not even as an ordinary person!

Although trembling slightly with fear, Qing Jiang did not immediately carry out Hu Yanxun's order, but turned his inquiring gaze to Qiu Chen. He is a slave of the Lin family, and he can only listen to the orders of his master.

Qiu Chen didn't know what Hu Yanxun was going to do, but she knew that Qingjiang couldn't help anything here. If Hu Yanxun really wanted to beat her, and Qingjiang stepped forward to stop her, it would not work at all, not to mention, it could only be around one and catch one by one! That's a loss!

Sighing softly, Qiu Chen motioned to Qingjiang: "You retreat!" ”

Qingjiang looked at Qiu Chen worriedly again, and finally answered, slowly retreating to a dozen steps away and standing still.

Qingjiang retreated, and the people who followed Hu Yanxun also retreated, and the streets seemed to be empty in an instant. Qiu Chen lowered his eyes a little spinelessly at this moment, and didn't dare to look at what the man opposite did to her...... Forget it, he beat him and killed him, she couldn't escape, she couldn't run away, so she just closed her eyes, what do you love!

At least you don't have to see him swing his whip, but still raise his knife!

Hu Yanxun sent the group away, and then turned around, only to see that the woman who was still awe-inspiring just now actually closed her eyes, and her face turned slightly pale...... For a moment, he seemed to see the gentle and docile woman, always looking at him with a soft smile, shushing the cold and asking for warmth...... The breath in his chest suddenly dissipated inexplicably.

"Alas......" Hu Yanxun sighed, took a step forward, and reached out to caress the woman's delicate face, "I know you are not happy because I went to recruit a husband......

Husband?

Qiu Chen was stunned, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

Whatever he said, he said, 'Because I am going to ask for a husband......

In Qiu Chen's mind, there is only one man who has been taken away, and that is her nominal husband - Lin Sheng!

This person's name is obviously Huyanxun...... Uh, yes, Lin Sheng is not Lin Xu's biological brother. So, Huyanxun is his real name?

was stared at by the woman in a daze, Hu Yanxun wanted to say a few soft words to comfort the woman, but he couldn't say it anymore. Even the outstretched hand was embarrassed to take it back, turned it behind him, avoided his gaze, turned sideways slightly, and said in a deep voice: "...... I have heard that the second brother has passed the first ...... of the county examination Is the old lady okay? How is Xian Niang? ”

Qiu Chen stared at the man in front of him, his eyes hurt, and a layer of mist astringently rose, but she raised her head and blinked hard.

Tilting her face slightly, her eyes looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, and said secretly: Begonia, can you see it, this is the man you have in mind! This is the man for whom you lost your life! I haven't returned for three years, I haven't said a word, I'm obviously back, I've already taken up the post of the commander of the fourth rank of the house, but I didn't go home, and I took a delicate beauty to swagger through the city, and when I met, I just said Lin Xu, what old lady asked, what Xianniang asked...... I didn't even ask you a word, but I was tired, I was suffering! Not even two children asked! Afu Amango is his own flesh and blood!

After asking, after a while, Hu Yanxun didn't wait for the woman to answer, and turned around in surprise, and saw the woman tilting her head slightly, her eyes red......

couldn't help but sigh again: "Forget it, you go back first." ”

"I just arrived at work, and I haven't settled down yet, you go back and tell the old lady and tell the second brother that I will settle down and go back to ......"

Qiu Chen didn't listen to the words behind him at all, only heard Hu Yanxun ask her to go back, so he wanted to turn around and leave, took a few steps back, and finally calmly gave up his hand, turned around, and hurried away with Qingjiang. didn't care that the direction she went was the opposite of the Cloud Inn.

It's been two days since she came to Fucheng. From the shopkeeper Cheng of the Yunzhong Inn, he learned that Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing went to the neighboring Fucheng, originally Yun Jichen sent a message to ask her to wait for them for two days, but Qiu Chen returned to the inn and did not stay for a moment, but at noon, he didn't even eat, and told Qingjiang to pack his luggage, put on the carriage, and set off directly back to Liujiaao.

Qingjiang only thought that his wife was frightened, so he didn't bother all the way, and only drove the carriage with all his heart to make the carriage run more smoothly.

Qiu Chen sat in the carriage leaning on a large pillow, the sadness that rushed out of his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood slowly calmed down.

With his eyes slightly closed, Qiu Chen said silently in his heart: Begonia, are you dead?

Driving all the way, until he saw the slightly low city wall of Anping County, Qiu Chen said to Qingjiang in a loud voice: "I was in a hurry to leave, we didn't even eat...... It's time for now, let's stop by the county seat and have something to eat! ”

Qingjiang responded honestly: "Yes, madam! ”

Waving the horsewhip, he drove the carriage into Anping City.

Qiu Chen asked Qingjiang to drive the car directly to the food shop opposite the county school, she let Qingjiang eat, and she took a gray squirrel skin leather shoulder from the car that she bought for Lin Xu in the past two days of shopping in Fucheng, and a tweed bag, wrapped it in a bag, carried it in her hand, and went to the county school.

As we enter October, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and it is becoming more and more gloomy than in the morning, and the thick lead-gray clouds are getting lower and lower, and it is likely that the first snow of this winter will fall. Lin Xu only had a pair of cotton clothes and pants that he brought home a few days ago, and it was okay if it didn't snow, but he couldn't stand it if it really snowed. She sent these two clothes over, in case of snow, Lin Xu would not be without clothes.

The students in the county school had already started the afternoon class, Qiu Chen didn't bother Lin Xu, he only handed the clothes package to the gatekeeper at the gate, and touched a piece of broken silver of about five or six dollars to the old man, and the old man accepted it with a smile on his face, and when the class was over, he sent it to Lin Ergongzi!

Lin Ergongzi ...... Yes, everyone knows that her husband is Lin Sheng, the boss of the Lin family, who has already recruited her husband and died at the border, and even the household cancellation documents have been opened!

Qiu Chen suddenly became happy and relaxed, thanked the old man with a smile, said a few more gossips, and then took his leave.

Qingjiang had already finished eating, and when he saw Qiu Chen coming back, he hurriedly stood up: "Madam, I didn't let them serve the noodles you wanted, you sit first, and let them serve it to you!" ”

Qiu Chen agreed with a smile, and then said loudly: "Let them give two more bowls and cut another pound of beef." If you're hungry for this hour, I'm afraid you'll be hungry for a long time, and a bowl of noodles isn't enough! ”

After comfortably eating a bowl of hot noodle soup and eating two slices of beef, Qiu Chen was very full, and let Qingjiang eat the rest. Coming out of the food shop, Qiu Chen instructed Qingjiang to drive the car to Lao Hu's house to buy a few rabbits and roast chicken, and also wrapped a large bag of chicken offal in other people's dishes, and then went home satisfied.

I didn't go home for a few days, not to mention that the children couldn't see the intimacy, they all gathered around and chirped and chattered non-stop, and Aman even lay in her arms, hugging her neck and not letting go...... Even the servants of the house were very happy.

Daxing's family hurriedly went to add vegetables, cleaned up the rabbit roast chicken brought back by Qiu Chen, Qingxing and Yufeng quickly prepared hot water, waited for Qiu Chen to take a hot bath, changed into a clean and soft thin cotton clothes and cotton pants, and then comfortably walked into the warm room, kicked his shoes, and went to the kang with the children.

The Daxing family brought in the food from the Qingjiang family and the Shunzi family, Qingxing and Yufeng took it and placed it on the kang table, Qiu Chen waved his hand and ordered Qingxing Yufeng: "You take three rabbits and three roast chickens and distribute them to the three families, and you also go to the front to eat with your family!" Come back and serve after you've eaten! ”

Qingxing and Yufeng were accustomed to Qiu Chen's temper, thanked the reward happily, took the rabbit roast chicken, and went to the front yard to eat with their families.

Lao Hu's meat, the most delicious food that the children once imagined, although the days are good, almost every meal can eat chicken, duck and fish, but the old Hu family's meat, the children still like it, one by one eat the little mouth is oily, especially Aman, the most favorite to eat Qiu Chen bought back the chicken offal, he grabbed it with his fat little hands, the small mouth is bulging, and one will be eliminated in three or two bites.

Ah Fu is very fond of chicken feet, and the chicken feet of the two roast chickens were rounded by him. Junyan Junwen loves to eat chicken legs and rabbit legs, Junwen Junshu is older, he knows that he has to serve his younger brothers and sisters, and he only eats other parts casually, Junwen has not forgotten to clip a chicken wing for his aunt, and Chengzi has a chicken offal for Qiu Chen to put on the plate. Qiu Chenle's face was bright, these two children didn't hurt in vain, and they also noticed that they loved to eat chicken wings and chicken offal...... Such a careful and considerate child, I don't know that I will be cheaper for that girl in the future. Whoever marries them must be blessed!

I had dinner happily and lively. Qingxing and Yufeng also came back after eating, brought water and waited for everyone to wash.

Qiu Chen took out a few pearl-haired wool shoulders from the wardrobe, all with pearl fur fur coats, the style of the coat was given by Qiu Chen to the Qingjiang family, not the cloak that was used to wearing in this era, but a modern hooded coat, the hat was also lined with snow-white and soft pearl skin, the appearance of the coat was Junwen Junshu was sapphire blue brocade, Junyan Junzhang was made of jujube red jacquard satin, and Chengzi and Ah Fu and Aman were all blue plain brocades.

Chengzi is with the workers every day, and it is not good to wear too bright brocade. The two children of Ah Fu and Aman are guarding filial piety, but they can't wear bright colors of red and green!

In addition, each child also had a pair of short boots lined with lambskin, and cotton gloves with exposed fingers.

Qiu Chen asked a group of children to put on their new clothes at that time, all of them were fluffy, just a few bears of all sizes...... made Qiu Chen laugh, and the children also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Qiu Chen instructed Yufeng: "Go, take out six gray squirrel skins I bought, and then take two rabbits and two roast chickens, and follow me to the West Courtyard." ”

The children made a fuss for a while, so Qiu Chen asked them to take off their coats, write and read on the kang, and he took Yufeng to the West Courtyard. After seeing Mrs. Lin's kang whirring, the fire wall in the house also burned, the room was warm, and the three of them talked a few words of gossip before turning back.

Entering the gate, Qiu Chen instructed Daxing: "Keep an eye on the West Courtyard, firewood and carbon are indispensable." In addition, there are no carriages in the western courtyard, so if they use them more quickly, don't let people feel how they will come. If we buy any fresh food, don't forget to send one over there. ”

Daxing agreed repeatedly.

Qiu Chen asked about the burning wall in Daxing School again, and Daxing also promised that it had been burning for a few days, starting from the beginning of October. Qiu Chen thought about it, it was indeed not too cold before October 1, so he went back to the backyard.

Back to the house, in addition to his coat, Qiu Chen got on the kang, checked the homework for the children, and gave a few arithmetic problems for the children to do. At the end of the day, the children were sent back to their rooms to sleep.

Qiu Chen also washed Afu Aman's hands and face, feet, and teeth, and slept under the covers to tell stories.

The kang under him is hot, and he sleeps very well at night, as if there is an indescribable reassuring taste, sleeping on his own kang, especially relaxed, especially heavy!

was sleeping soundly, when suddenly Yufeng's cry came from outside the door: "Madam, madam!" Yufeng, who has always been calm, is full of panic and fear in her voice tonight, trembling, in the silent night, it is quite creepy.

Qiu Chen woke up smartly, stabilized himself, took a coat and draped it on his body, and walked out of the back room with his shoes. The fire wall in the outhouse was filled with firewood, and the room was not cold, Qiu Chen raised his voice and called Yufeng in.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Chen frowned slightly, but his voice was as calm as possible. No one could be happy when she was woken up in the middle of the night, but she had calmed down.

"Madam, Erkui, Erkui and aunt......" Yufeng didn't know if it was too cold, or too scared, and she couldn't speak.

Qiu Chen shuddered and came to his senses completely.

"How? When was it launched? Did you go and hire a midwife? Qiu Chen asked several questions in a row.

Yufeng Qingxing entered the house, saw that Qiu Chen seemed to be warmer and calmer, and finally could answer clearly: "It was launched at the end of the year, and Uncle Erkui has already gone to ask for a midwife after coming to report the news." My mother, Aunt Qingjiang, and Aunt Junzi have all passed......"

Hearing that the three members of the Daxing family had passed, Qiu Chen was slightly relieved, and while holding his hair, he instructed Yufeng to take out the trauma equipment, medicine, and alcohol that she had prepared a few days ago to eliminate the poison. Then, she hurriedly put on cotton clothes and pants, wrapped a piece of wind, and told Qingxing to guard the two children in the house, and she hurriedly went out of the house and went straight to Erkui's house.

At the end of August, Erkui's family had moved into a new house. On the other side of the school, another woman was found in the village to go to the school every day to clean and cook.

Qiu Chen hugged the medical copper box she had prepared for trauma before, Yufeng lit up a step in front of her with a lantern, as soon as she left the house, there was already a biting cold wind blowing in the middle of the night in October, making the two of them shrink at the same time, Qiu Chen wrapped the clothes on his body, glanced at the same heavy cotton jacket on Yufeng's body, took a breath of cold air, and said, "Let's go!" ”

The master and servant turned westward at the door of their homes, crossed the west courtyard, and soon came to Erkui's house, which was located between the Lin family and Lan Ying's family.

At this time, the door of Erkui's house was open, and before the two of them could walk in, they saw the light from the door and window of the main house, and the faint shaking of the shadow of the person.

Entering Erkui's house, two low dog barks came from the corner on the side of the gate, Qiu Chen snorted, and the puppy cub that Shanzi had just picked up when he moved heard the sound, so he whimpered and retracted into the kennel in the corner of the yard.

Stepping into the courtyard, the situation in Erkui's house was seen more clearly, not only were there people in the inner room, but there were also people busy in the brightly lit hall, and the smell of firewood was spreading in the cold air. Qiu Chen nodded secretly, it seemed that someone was already boiling hot water.

The two hurriedly entered the door, and the Daxing family stood up from the stove of the hall: "Madam, you are here!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lan Ying and Qingjiang's family, Shunzi's family are all inside, well, Qingjiang's family knows a little bit about admitting children, and it is said that it is still early to ......" Obviously, there is no way to relax people in this kind of thing, and the Daxing family, which has always been cool and cheerful on weekdays, is also obviously nervous at this time.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and patted Daxing's shoulder: "Okay, don't be nervous, prepare water, I'll go in and have a look, maybe I'll wash my hands later." ”

After being relieved, Daxingjia seemed to calm down a little, nodded, and continued to squat down to light the fire. Qiu Chen raised his hand to pick up the curtain of the east house, and then turned back to Yufeng, who was following closely behind, and said, "You go to the west house to see, how are the mountains and stones, if it is two children...... Well, dress them, take them to our house, and sleep with Afu Aman. Send the children back, you and Qingxing just take care of the children, you don't have to come back. ”

After all, Yufeng is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and staying here in this situation can't help, and she is still scared. What's more, having a child is not something that an unmarried girl can participate in.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took the alcohol jar from Yufeng's hand, carried the alcohol in one hand, and entered the back room with the medical box in the other.

Only one oil lamp was lit in the house, Qingjiang's family and Shunzi's family were standing under the kang, and Lan Ying was kneeling on the kang, wiping the face of the Erkui family who was lying on the kang with his head facing in.

Seeing Qiu Chen come in, both the Qingjiang family and the Shunzi family bowed their knees, and then stepped forward to take the alcohol jar and medical box in Qiu Chen's hand.

Lan Ying seemed to sigh and said, "Begonia is here!" ”

When the Erkui family heard the movement, they also raised their eyes to look over, as if they wanted to smile at Qiu Chen, but it happened that a wave of pain hit her, making her unfolded smile distort instantly.

------Off topic------

Finally let these two people pierce this layer of window paper......

How's that down there......
