Chapter 216: Save the dowry

After a while, Qiu Chen became interested in the origin of those clothes again.

In this society, the gap between the rich and the poor is very serious, a very small number of wealthy businessmen and eunuchs can eat and drink, and even extravagantly, and most of the common people do not have many old clothes to sell. There is an old saying that is good wow, 'the eldest is new, the second is old, and the third can still be worn', which means that the clothes of the common people are often made new for the eldest children, and as the children grow up, the eldest can not wear the second child, and the second can not wear it to the third...... Therefore, some of them are small in the family, and they wear the old clothes replaced by their older brothers and sisters from childhood to adulthood. In this way, it is still said that the living standard is relatively good, and the people who can eat and dress warmly. There are also some old clothes that have not been picked up, so they use the old clothes of unknown people to disassemble and connect together, maybe a pair of pants and two legs are not the same color, maybe some patch is patched, a thousand embellished...... It's really not much better than a beggar.

Seeing that Yufeng seemed to know a lot about these, Qiu Chen asked her.

Yufeng was slightly surprised, these things that are close to common sense, how can Madame not know the way?

However, this surprise was not fleeting, because Yufeng remembered that his wife had been living in Liujiaao before, and it was not surprising that he didn't know the common sense in the town, not to mention, no one would sell old clothes, they were all some servant women, and they took out the old clothes that they couldn't wear and sold them for a few dollars.

"Madam, most of these clothes have been replaced by large families, or the materials are outdated, or there are some defects, and they cannot be worn or sold."

Qiu Chen looked at the women and mothers-in-law who were busy picking out clothes, and nodded. Judging from the way these people rush to choose, such clothes are not available every day, and they are likely to be just in time for new goods to attract so many people to rush to buy. Perhaps, this is equivalent to the discount field of branded clothing, those samples in brand clothing stores, after countless try-ons, are actually similar to old clothes, and the seasonal discount will also attract countless people to snap up.

Now, she has the ability to make new clothes at will, and naturally she has no interest in these old clothes. However, unlike old clothes, old furniture and old objects are better than they are. It's not antiques, some furniture with good materials, and old objects that are chic and fit are also very interesting.

Thinking so, Qiu Chen raised his feet and stepped into the door of this thrift store.

The thrift store is a two-storefront store with two floors. The first floor mainly sells old furniture and large furnishings, while the upper floor sells all kinds of small utensils, knick-knacks, old jewelry, old toys and so on.

There are fewer young women shopping, and even fewer thrift stores.

Qiu Chen's master and servant stepped into the furniture store, one in front and one in the back, although Qiu Chen was dressed simply and plainly, he could still clearly see the relationship between her and Yufeng.

The two guys in the store were selling used clothes outside the door, and it was approaching the evening, and an old shopkeeper in his forties was settling accounts in the store, and when he saw Qiu Chen's master and servant stepping into the door, he was stunned, and then reacted, and hurriedly greeted him from behind the counter, and said with a smile: "This lady, what do you want to pick?" The little pieces are upstairs, please here! ”

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Chen knew that people regarded her as someone who came to exchange old jewelry. However, she didn't have a clear goal, so it didn't matter if she went upstairs to take a look first. Yes, she did not object, bowed slightly to the shopkeeper, followed the guidance of the shopkeeper, and went to the second floor.

The shopkeeper gave an order to the young man outside the door, and followed him upstairs with his shirt.

Compared with the cramped and crowded first-floor store, the upstairs layout is much brighter. The room is surrounded by a number of multi-treasure lattices, with slightly larger ornaments and utensils, and in the center of the room are a few low long counters, on which are many small old things. The old jewelry is not visible at a glance, but there are many carved wooden boxes on the large case near the window, which must be where the jewelry is.

After browsing, Qiu Chen determined that although this thrift store sells old items, it is not a place to sell rags. Qiu Chen quickly made a judgment in his heart, such a store may really have good things, but it shouldn't be easy to pick up the leaks.

Fortunately, Qiu Chen is not a collector, and she doesn't plan to pick up leaks, she was originally shopping around at random, and she might as well buy things that she likes. Speaking of which, although she is not rich now, she also has tens of thousands of silver in her hands, and it is not a problem to occasionally be a local tyrant.

The shopkeeper took two steps late and went up to the second floor, looking at Qiu Chen standing at the top of the stairs with Yufeng, and didn't care about moving the goods, he praised in his heart, was more courteous, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Madam, there are many and miscellaneous items in the shop, and it is not easy for Madame to find them by herself. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Then let's take a look at the jewelry." Well, the gold and silver are all counted......"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with a bright color, and he smiled again and again, leading Qiu Chen to the big case near the window. When he got closer, Qiu Chen found that there was a round table with drum teeth inlaid with jade inlaid behind him, and there were several drum stools next to the table, which should be the place to greet the guests and let them carefully select the objects.

Also, jewelry or something, the individual is small, and the number is also large, with such a sitting place, the guests can stay longer, the time to select objects is extended, and the possibility of picking objects is greatly increased.

"Madam, please sit down for a moment!" The shopkeeper invited Qiu Chen to sit down, and said with a smile, "Some clothes have just arrived in the small shop today, and the guys are taking care of them outside the door. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and bowed, and the shopkeeper quickly walked to the big case near the window, and soon brought back two boxes, one yellow and one purple.

These two boxes are almost indistinguishable from ordinary makeup boxes, both in the style of multi-layered storage compartments, except that a half-worn brass lock is hung on each box. The shopkeeper put the boxes down, took out a large set of keys from the placket, opened the locks on the two boxes, and then opened the top drawer.

"Madame, look at these desirable objects."

There weren't too many things in the box.

The drawers of the two boxes are lined with red satin, and in the yellow rosewood box, there are some jade and treasure jewelry in several drawers, and in the bottom drawer is a set of red gold jewelry with cat's eyes. There is another rosewood box in a different category, there are all kinds of amber, tortoiseshell, coral and other jewelry, as soon as you open the two drawers, all kinds of jewelry treasure dazzling, colorful, very good-looking. Even if he was as calm as a jade phoenix, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, but fortunately he covered his mouth, otherwise he would probably be able to exclaim.

Everything is a good thing, but for Qiu Chen, who has seen the more refined casting process in modern times, the process of gold and silver inlay is relatively rough. Qiu Chen's eyes mainly focused on some uninlaid objects, and he took them in his hand one by one to look closely, and left a beeswax chayote handle at the end, a piece of oval flower the size of a pigeon's egg. This piece of flower amber is extremely transparent, and you can clearly see a small bee inside, and even the wings, legs and feet of the little bee are clear and complete.

The shopkeeper didn't talk much, and when he saw the two things that Qiu Chen picked out, he couldn't help but smile and praise: "Madame has good eyesight, these two things are rare in color and appearance, and they are suitable for playing and wearing." To tell a joke, it is not lost to use it to inherit the family and give it to the bottom of the box! ”

Qiu Chen pinched the beeswax chayote in his hand, tilted his head and looked at the shopkeeper when he heard this, and smiled. The shopkeeper reminded her of one thing, she had planned to save a dowry for Man'er before, but she had been busy and didn't care about it, but since she met it this time, this flower poke was the first one.

Since it was to save a dowry, Qiu Chen was not only limited to his own preferences, but also picked a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with diamonds, a string of red coral long bracelets the size of soybean grains, and a piece of chicken blood red amber with excellent permeability. The red gold bracelet of the diamond is not enough, and the single bead of the red coral bracelet is not big, but such a long string, at least one hundred and eight, each of which is full and round, bright red and uniform in color, and almost flawless throughout the body, which is extremely rare. As for the amber, this thing is dark and dull, and it really doesn't look very conspicuous at first glance, the reason why Qiu Chen picked it out is just because he likes amber and the reason why the best amber is more difficult.

Looking at the objects that Qiu Chen selected one by one, the shopkeeper's eyes also shone slightly, and he began to re-estimate the value and purchasing power of this simplely dressed woman. From the time he heard Qiu Chen say that he didn't look at gold and silver objects, he didn't treat Qiu Chen as something he couldn't afford to buy, at this time, and then look at the objects that Qiu Chen picked out, they are not something that ordinary people can see. As everyone knows, a piece of good amber is likely to be worth 10,000 gold!

After reading this, Qiu Chen raised his eyes and smiled: "Are there any other objects for the study?" ”

The shopkeeper showed a hint of surprise slightly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it's just that there are many kinds of objects in the study, I don't know which ones Mrs. Lu Dao wants to see?" Is it the Four Treasures or the Toys? ”

Inkstones and the like, Qiu Chen has no concept, but he has been fond of the best Tian Huangshi for a long time. It's just that in modern times, the best Tianhuang ore deposits have been exhausted, and I have seen it a few times in the museum. Since this era was in the pre-Ming Dynasty, before the Qing Dynasty, which most admired the best Tian Huang, Tian Huangshi should not be too in demand, so she asked.

"Well, let's play with it, Shoushan, chicken blood or something, let's take a look!"

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, ma'am!" The shopkeeper was full of joy, hurriedly put away the two boxes on the table, carried them back, and returned with a heavy rosewood box in a moment.

The box opened again, and there were not many Tian Huang that Qiu Chen was looking forward to the most, but there were a few pieces of bloodstone, and there were a few pieces of jade scholar's ornaments. The connotation of jade is too deep, it is not something that a layman like Qiu Chen can identify, so she just looked at it casually, but there is a bloodstone round carved beast button seal and the only piece of Tianhuang stone that makes her more fond of it. In particular, this piece of Tianhuang stone is big enough, flat and rectangular, a little pondering, and it is excellent to make paperweight.

Taking these two out, Qiu Chen looked at the things he picked and shook his head with a smile, and raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper: "You have a lot of good things, you actually picked so many, you give a price, I will consider it again!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, put away the box with his hands and feet and sent it back, walked to the staircase and shouted down: "Tea!" ”

Qiu Chen held the piece of Tianhuang Stone in his hand and slowly rubbed it, squinting and smiling. The business experience of this shopkeeper is really shrewd enough, and talking about the price of tea at this time can ease the emotions of the guests, so that it is easier to do business.

The young man's movements were very fast, and the shopkeeper turned back, and the young man also carried two cups of tea and a very small abacus the size of a palm.

The shopkeeper took the tea cup and handed it to Qiu Chen in person, but was picked up by Yufeng, and then it was delivered to Qiu Chen. The shopkeeper took his teacup, sat down again, and didn't talk about the price of the objects, he invited Qiu Chen to drink tea first, and then pointed to the objects picked out by Qiu Chen one by one and quoted the prices one by one.

What surprised Qiu Chen was that among the five pieces of jewelry, the most expensive was expected, and the cheapest were actually two diamond bracelets, which were made of red gold, with heavy materials and good handwork.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Chen probably understood. The ancients regarded jade as precious, as the saying goes, 'gold and silver are priceless, and jade is priceless', and jade was a symbol of noble status in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Among the gemstones, the cat's eye is the first, followed by the red sapphire. As for the diamonds that were respected by everyone in later generations, and the jadeite that was speculated to sky-high prices, they are not very popular at this time!

Due to the gap in value concepts, the prices of the several pieces of jewelry selected by Qiu Chen are really not too out of line in her opinion, and the total of the five pieces of jewelry is less than 6,000 taels of silver, of which the pearl accounts for more than two-thirds. As for the piece of Tianhuang and chicken blood, the price surprised her even more, and the total was only two hundred taels of silver.

Qiu Chen kept a faint smile on his face, and did not reply quickly.

The shopkeeper looked at Qiu Chen's expression a little uncertain, pondered for a moment, and said automatically: "Madame is the first time to come to the door, but you can rest assured that the price of the small shop is fair." Hehe, besides, Xiao Ke is selfish, and he still wants to hold Mrs. as a repeat customer, and the price is naturally very low, at this price, Mrs. buys these things, Xiao Ke dares to guarantee that she will definitely not suffer a loss! ”

Qiu Chen didn't actually think that the shopkeeper's price was high, she was thinking about whether it would affect the things in the future after she bought these items with the silver taels. This time, she followed Lin Xu to the provincial capital to take the exam, in order to prevent anything from needing silver money, she brought more, bringing a full 10,000 taels of silver tickets and 200 taels of gold. These things were more than 6,000 taels in all, and after they were bought, they had 4,000 taels of silver and 200 taels of gold left in their hands...... It's just that what the use is, these should be enough.

Of course, Qiu Chen didn't plan to spend money to pave the way for the hospital test at this time, a show talent still needs to spend money to buy, and Lin Xu didn't want to achieve anything. As for the proper dredging relationship, she has never been a defender, thinking that it is still necessary, not to mention cheating, but also to prevent being made a stepping stone victim is not!

Qiu Chen's silence was a bit long, and the shopkeeper was ruthless, and said, "Madam, in this way, Xiao Ke can give you a change, what do you think?" ”

Qiu Chen suddenly raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "I don't care if it's neat or not, the shopkeeper simply erases a layer, how about it?" ”

The shopkeeper took a breath, kept his face silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Qiu Chen got up with a smile: "Then trouble the shopkeeper to pretend it for me." Send a fellow with me to get the money. ”

After all, it was a matter of several thousand taels of silver, and the shopkeeper did not dare to take it lightly, and asked cautiously: "I don't know where the lady's house is?" You see, the hour is not early, and if it is far away, then some money will not be put into the account, and I am afraid that something will go wrong. ”

Qiu Chen didn't care, smiled and waved his hand to stop the shopkeeper's explanation, and said, "It's in the official hat alley." You just have to send someone with you, and you will not be delayed. ”

The shopkeeper responded with a smile, and his subordinates didn't stop, and quickly took out a double-layer carved box with Huanghuali, and loaded the things Qiu Chen selected, but he didn't change hands, he still held them in his arms, and led Qiu Chen downstairs.

When I came downstairs, it was almost dusk, the old clothes outside the store were almost sold, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who selected the clothes in front of the stall were almost scattered, and the shopkeeper called an older man to come over, handed him the box, and whispered in his ear, and then sent him out with Qiu Chen's master and servant.

The young man followed Qiu Chen back to Guanmao'er Hutong, and saw that there were four or five good horses tied to the upside down, and although the yard was not big, it was very neatly tied. There are not many servants, and the clothes are not obvious, but they behave in a proper manner, and their complexion is peaceful. Before going out, the shopkeeper gave clear instructions, and he must see the situation before entering the door, otherwise he will encounter an object of five or six thousand taels of silver, which is enough to kill him a few times.

When he got home, Qiu Chen didn't let the young man go inside, so he asked him to wait in the gatehouse, and he took Yufeng back to the second entrance of the West Courtyard. took the silver ticket to Yufeng, and asked her to go out to trade with the young man, she freshened up a little by herself, and went directly to the big kitchen.

This time into the provincial capital, I didn't bring a formal cook, although Shunzi's family and Yufeng Qingxing can cook, but it is limited to cooking, I really want not to treat my own stomach, or she does it herself!

The ingredients in the kitchen are quite abundant, as Yufeng said, there are fish and meat, and there are two live chickens.

The hour was a little late, and it was time-consuming to slaughter and make live chickens, so Qiu Chen picked a piece of tenderloin, a piece of fat and thin pork belly ribs and handed it to Shunzi's family to cut it. He also asked Wang to slaughter an anchovy and two crucian carp.

After a moment, Yufeng turned around and returned, and had already sent the things back to Qiu Chen's house and put them away.

Qiu Chen didn't care much about it, and instructed Chunxiang and Yufeng to pick and wash the vegetables, and the five of them worked together, and soon the meat was put into the pot, the fish was put into the pot, and it was stewed on the fire. The vegetables are also washed and cut, and when Lin Xu, Han Jingyu, and Yao Yunxiu come back, they can be fried in the pot.

Lin Xu, Han Jingyu, and Yao Yunxiu came back just right, and as soon as the dishes here were prepared, they entered the door over there.

After a good dinner, Lin Xu came over to say hello as usual, and told Qiu Chen what he had seen and heard that day.

Lin Xu went back to the room to read and rest, Qiu Chen also bathed out, Yufeng had already put the bed tent, took a handkerchief and came up to Qiu Chen, twisted his hair and asked, "Madame, can you still look at the things you bought today?" ”

Qiu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to look at, just lock it in the box, it's a dowry for Man'er, it's still early!" ”

Yufeng was surprised, and then nodded in response. There are many young ladies in the family who have been saving dowries since birth, and now that the little lady is three years old, it is not too early to save dowry.

In this way, Qiu Chen began to accompany the exam in the provincial capital.

Except for the first day she spent a sum of money on the outing, she hardly went out much after that. Every day, I only study the notebook given by Mr. Guo in the house. Lin Xu, Han Jingyu, and Yao Yunxiu also read a lot of books, and only studied hard in the room, and occasionally went out to participate in some gatherings of exam-taking students, but there was no such thing as returning drunk, and Qiu Chen left it alone.

If a few days pass, it's the end of April in the blink of an eye. Daxing, which Qiu Chen sent back, turned back again. This time, Daxing brought the Chen family over, and also brought two servants, Baozhu and Jialiang. There are two people in the house here, Daxing and Junzi, who are cleaning, answering the door, and feeding the horses and driving the cart, and they are really busy.

The days passed in a hurry, and in May, the end of the game was approaching.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival is not very important in the north, Qiu Chen wrapped several kinds of zongzi and ate them, and prepared a five-poison lotus for each of Lin Xu, and packed some insect-proof and filthy spices.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, it was close to noon on the seventh day of the fifth month, and Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing entered the door together.

Zhengding Mansion is not Anyang Mansion, and Yun Jichen's influence has been greatly reduced, but the Provincial Xuezheng and Yun Zhifu were fellow villagers back then, and Yun Jichen also had a lot of contacts with the sons of several bigwigs in the province, and he could say something to some extent. It didn't matter if Lin Xu followed, Yun Jichen freshened up and had lunch a little, then went to the school government to pay a visit, and finally handed a message in before the exam.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing simply didn't let Lin Xu study, and invited Qiu Chen to go out of the South City Gate together and go to Daliuwo Village to pick more than a dozen baskets of cherries and come back. Before leaving, Han Jingyu and Yao Yunxiu were also invited, and the two of them resigned politely, and everyone was not reluctant.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, I also got up in the middle of the night, ate and sent to the examination room.

When I returned from the examination room, it was just dawning.

Yun Jichen dragged Liao Wenqing directly back to the guest room of the East Courtyard and slept back.

Qiu Chen was tired and tired for several days, and he was also tired and tired, so he went back to the house and fell asleep.

I slept until near noon before I got up. When she cleaned up refreshed, Chunxiang also happened to come over to report that Liao Wenqing and Liao Sangongzi had come over.

Qiu Chen greeted him with a smile and beckoned Liao Wenqing to sit on the couch in the hall.

Yufeng brought hot tea and took Chunxiang to prepare for lunch.

Only Qiu Chen and Liao Wenqing sat opposite each other in the room. Holding the tea and drinking it, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "What about the second son?" Haven't slept yet? ”

Liao Wenqing replied with a smile: "Get up early." These days in the capital is busy dizzy, and you have to guard against the people sent by the old lady all day long, this time to Zhengding, the Yun family seems to not know the way, Yun Er said to let go of the wind, looking for his brother in Zhengding to wander. ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "It seems that Yun Er hasn't met a satisfactory person yet?" ”

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen and shook his head with a smile: "Yun Er is also free and easy, why don't you understand why you are so stubborn in this matter, and even said that the young ladies of the official eunuch family are all carved out of the mold, and they are all wood wrapped in brocade, and they are all boring and tight." Besides, this time there are many things in Beijing, and I am not familiar with it, so I really can't help him with this! ”

Qiu Chen's original pry with Liao Wenqing to help Yun Jichen find a desirable one was just a joke. At this time, the young lady of the big family does not go out easily, where is it so easy to be met by them, at this time, she was not surprised to hear Liao Wenqing's words, but she just thought that Yun Jichen was distressed and felt funny.

Lifting the topic of Yun Jichen, Liao Wenqing explained to Qiu Chen about the farmland in the capital workshop. That person's impeachment of Jingbei Hou Qiang for buying acres of land was just an excuse to play on the topic, although the excerpt was clearly issued, he was reprimanded in the court the next day. This matter was over, and no one dared to mention it.

Qiu Chen listened and calmed down. When they first entered the capital to do business, they would inevitably have troubles in all aspects, so they wanted to pull Tang Wenyong and Qin Zheng as backers. But I didn't expect that this time it was because of the court dispute that they were implicated, which shows that finding a backer is also a double-edged sword, and while the backer can shelter you from the wind and rain, it is also likely to be implicated.

Seeing that Qiu Chen's expression was relaxed and he didn't worry too much, Liao Wenqing was relieved. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and then spoke: "After everything is done in Beijing this time, I, I don't have to go out every day...... You'll be out of service by June, and I'll be back by then......"

It seems that what he said is a little difficult to say, stumbling, not saying a word, and a little vague.

Qiu Chen was slightly puzzled at first, but quickly understood. She took off, and he returned...... What to do when you come back is almost self-evident.

It's just that Liao Wenqing didn't say this clearly, and Qiu Chen would not take the initiative to find out. What's more, to this day, she hasn't officially thought about it.

That time in Liujiaao, in the Lin family, Liao Wenqing borrowed wine to confess, and she was only slightly surprised and classified it as drunken nonsense, and she didn't think about it carefully at all, whether it was suitable or not, let alone whether she agreed or not, and even married Liao Wenqing.

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, pulled the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "In the future, the Liao family's business will only get bigger and bigger, how can you not go out?" By the way, the recipe in the south is sold, has it been made? How good is the stuff made? ……”

She tried to change the subject, but before she could finish speaking, her wrist was grasped. With a shake, the tea bowl in his hand was almost thrown out.

"You ......" Qiu Chen suddenly felt nervous and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to express it.

In modern times, she has not been without a partner, and she has also been pulled on a blind date by classmates and friends, but modern men and women get along very freely, some words do not need to be said explicitly, a gesture and an expression are easy for everyone to get together and disperse, and they don't owe each other. Sometimes you don't even need to express face-to-face, a text message, an online message, or even a letter to Yimeier, everything is OK. Where have you ever seen such an embarrassment in person......

Liao Wenqing didn't give her much time, holding her wrist with one hand, and reaching over with the other, taking the tea bowl in her hand and putting it on the low table, and then leaned over, held her hand in the palm of her hand with both hands, looked at her and said, "Begonia, when you take off your clothes, I will send a matchmaker to the door to propose, okay?" ”

Qiu Chen was forced to look at the face of the man who was close at hand.

Liao Wenqing's facial features are not profound, he belongs to a typical oriental face, his eyebrows are sparse, but he is delicate and handsome, he has his own suave taste, plus his figure is slender and straight, and his temperament is free and easy with a slight uninhibited...... It can be said that he is an excellent son.

Extending from appearance to character, because he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is the youngest in the family, he will inevitably be spoiled, Liao Wenqing's temperament is inevitably a little willful and domineering, but these are not obvious under his good upbringing and simple nature, and even because of a little willfulness, he has more momentum and enthusiasm unique to young people, but there is some cute taste in it. In the final analysis, Qiu Chen asked himself, and he didn't hate Liao Wenqing's personality.

When it comes to dealing with people, although Liao Wenqing is young, she is much more experienced than her, sleek and sophisticated, and skillful. But Qiu Chen also knew that since he met, Liao Wenqing had always treated her sincerely......

By all these measures, this man seems to be good. Marrying him may also be able to be harmonious and accompany each other for the rest of your life......

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and his brain turned quickly, but he didn't respond for a while, Liao Wenqing's face was calm, but his eyes looked at Qiu Chen well, and the apprehension, expectation, and nervousness in the depths of his eyes were all intertwined, making his gaze extremely deep and bottomless.

After a while, Liao Wenqing, who didn't wait for a reply, finally lost his breath. He simply got up and bypassed Xiao Ji, squatted down in front of Qiu Chen, forced Qiu Chen to raise his head, looked at Qiu Chen's eyes, and said solemnly: "I didn't do anything before, some ridiculous, some uninhibited, but now that I have identified you, I should treat it sincerely." Don't worry, there are two of us, we will stay together for life, I won't take a concubine, just two of us, live a good life...... I also like Afu Aman very much, and I will treat them as my own. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Wenqing's palms tightened, and he said solemnly: "I will live up to you, you believe me, okay?" ”

Facing such an excellent man who was not annoying, but was very familiar and receptive, Qiu Chen was really a little shaken for a while. There was a voice in her heart urging: Promise him, such a good person, familiar and understanding, and willing to accept a pair of children at the same time, such a person misses it, where to find it? Promise him! Promise him!

But at the same time, there was another vague feeling that made her hesitate.

Liao Wenqing gave her the feeling that she was more of a good friend, a good buddy, and even a good brother...... But there has never been that kind of haunting thoughts of men and women from him...... This faint feeling of not being able to understand the words made her hesitate and made her a little ...... Unwilling.

Because I am afraid that I will not be able to fit my heart when the time comes, and there are many contradictions and hesitate;

Because I didn't feel the warm love and lovesickness that I experienced, I was a little unwilling. She has lived twice, can't she meet the person who makes her heart pound and haunted her dreams? Also feel what it's like to be in love?

But Liao Wenqing didn't allow her to hesitate or hesitate, and moved closer again, her face almost touched her face, and she could even feel the slight heat exhaled from the other party's mouth and nose......

Qiu Chen sat up straight with some embarrassment, tilted his head back, pulled his hand back vigorously, turned his eyes away, and said, "You sit down, this way you look, you are seen by the girls...... Not good. ”

Liao Wenqing's eyes darkened, but he still obediently sat back on the opposite side of the low table, but he put his elbow on the low table, still looking at Qiu Chen and said, "What else are you worried about?" If you say it, I will answer you! ”

These words were said very heartwarmingly, with a very careful flattery, and because of nervousness, the aftertones at the end of the words even had a slight trill...... This person must really like her, right? I should have wanted her to say yes, but I was afraid that she wouldn't agree, so I was so nervous and cautious......

The love of two people, whoever falls in love first, will be humbled and gradually lower himself to the dust!

Somehow, Qiu Chen suddenly vaguely remembered such a sentence.

All kinds of acquaintances with Liao Wenqing and all kinds of getting along with each other came to my heart at once. Since they met, when he and her were still strangers, he has been very tolerant and supportive of her. It can be said that without Liao Wenqing, she may have also gotten rid of poverty and become rich now, but it definitely didn't go all the way. Without Liao Wenqing, she may also be able to cooperate with others and share vested interests, but she is definitely not as relaxed and comfortable as she is now, and she can be completely entrusted, without worrying about any accidents that will happen to the other party...... In more than a year, from acquaintance, to gradual familiarity, to familiarity with etiquette, to almost nothing to talk about......

Marriage means staying together for a long time. After all, love is not reliable, modern research has not also proved that love is the process of accelerated hormone secretion, the shelf life is only four or five months, and even the maintenance period is two or three years after calculating the inflation amount, after that, the bond of decades of marriage will not be love, but the family affection generated by staying together for a long time...... Or, Qiu Chen is willing to add a condition to it, that is, habit. The habit of two people living together for a long time.

At least, with him, it's easier for her to develop a habit. Or, because they know each other well and understand each other, it is easier to get along...... It's much better than blind marriage and dumb marriage in the mainstream of today's society.
