Chapter 360: Never Give Up

Chen ignored the green kite, and just accompanied Qiu Chen out of the pavilion with a smile.

The two children relied on Qin Zheng, calling their mothers sweetly one by one, if they didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao and saw this scene, they would definitely think that it was a family gathering with relatives, so harmonious and intimate, full of warmth.

Qiu Chen hugged Aman from Qin Zheng's arms, hugged him in his arms and kissed him, then beckoned the girls to come over, personally took Aman to wash his hands, and took a comb to comb the unkempt hair of the two children and tidy up the clothes on their bodies.

After packing up, Yufeng and Chengying came over with the girls and the mother-in-law carrying food boxes. After some arrangement, the old man of a family of four settled down in the pavilion, admired the sparkling blue waves, blew the warm breeze, and began to eat.

Before sitting down, Qiu Chen smiled and said to a group of girls: "Don't all of you serve here...... Mama Chen, you look at a few of them, and let the others go down! ”

Chen bowed down and agreed, leaving Chengying Hanguang Yufeng and Yuegui to wait without hesitation, and then took the others to salute and retreat.

Some distance away from the pavilion, the green kite followed Chen, and the others followed a few steps behind.

Chen glanced at the green kite, sighed leisurely, and said, "Don't you have something to ask?" That's going to be asked. ”

The green kite hung her head slightly, and subconsciously followed Chen's footsteps step by step, but her mind was a little troubled and couldn't settle down.

After a while, the green kite held back two words: "Aunt Hui......"

"Alas," Chen sighed, took the hand of the green kite, and said as he walked, "You are what I grew up watching, and your mother went early, and I really regard you as a girl in my heart......"

Speaking of this, Chen paused, looked at the green kite with an outstanding appearance but gloomy expression on his side, and said quietly, "When you entered the mansion to serve, I told you, let's be subordinates, honor and disgrace and wealth are just a matter of the master's words...... No matter how unwilling you are, you can't change your life after all, even if you become an aunt? It's not that you can't see the situation in the Liang Guogong Mansion, there are so many aunts, which one can be spoiled for a long time? It's not that the color is decaying and the love is relaxed! ”

The green kite hung her head, biting her lip in embarrassment, trying to control herself and not let the tears that swirled in her eyes welled up.

She asked herself if she was good enough to hide it, but she didn't want to, Aunt Hui had already seen her thoughts.

Chen sighed again, patted Qing Kite's hand, and said in a soothing tone: "Hou Ye is a handsome young man, with great military achievements, and majestic momentum, so he is naturally very good. If you change to a princess, or a lady from a noble and high-ranking official's family, you may not reveal your thoughts. But you didn't expect that Hou Ye actually married a widowed woman from a mountain village with a pair of children. The appearance is not outstanding, and the family background is low...... But you can be married to the prince, you are not angry for the prince, you are not angry, you are not fair, aren't you? ”

Qing Kite was asked by Chen's sentence by sentence, some thoughts she was subconsciously, even she herself had not analyzed it so clearly, and now listening to Chen's clear distinction like peeling off the cocoon, she was more shocked than embarrassed.

Chen didn't say a word, she was very resonant and wanted to echo a few words, that's it! A character like Hou Ye, but he was confused by a village widow, and his reputation was tarnished in vain, and he also lost all the things that marriage can consolidate his position, which is no different from self-destruction of his future!

It's just that Qing Kite is not an ordinary little girl after all, she has been ashamed since she was a child, she grew up with the Chen family, she has been literate and arithmetic since she was a child, and she has seen more after making a girl for Qin Zheng, and even Qin Zheng's letters and folds are all sorted out by her. To borrow a sentence from Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions, 'This girl is not much worse than the young lady of an ordinary small family', the green kite here is more capable than Sister Feng's girl, not to mention the young lady of a small family, even the officials of the prefecture and county, many of them are not as good as this political literacy and academic ability.

Knowing that Chen is far more clear than her, thinking far-reaching, and really good for her, Qing Kite naturally will not refute anything, although her heart is boiling, she can still listen to Chen's teachings and guidance patiently and quietly.

Chen also likes the temperament of the green kite, although there are times when he is confused, he can be able to teach and listen to people's persuasion, and he is rational enough.

Thinking of this, Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly, such a character and such a look are biased from the body. But if you have a better background, even if you are the head of the noble family, you can do it.

After a second thought, Chen dispelled this idea again.

This girl has always been sensible, low-key and tolerant, but she didn't expect to serve by Qin Zheng's side, and she still didn't pass the love barrier after all. This woman, no matter what her identity is, once she is emotional, it will be a disaster.

In this world, how many men are not affectionate? Once a woman is emotional, her behavior and speech will naturally lose her square and bias, and where can she be rational and calm? And if you lose your calm and reason, you will become stupid, and there is no more merit.

Fortunately, fortunately, looking at the girl's appearance, it seems that she is not too deep, and maybe, there is still room for redemption.

After being silent for a moment, Chen's mind turned a thousand times, and he still wanted to pull this girl who he brought up.

"Do you think that Madame has no family background and is still a widow with a pair of children, you should also know that Madame has received two holy decrees at home before, once with a royal plaque and the other with a three-rank lady...... Do you understand? It's a confession, not a confession! This is Madame's own earnings, and it has nothing to do with anyone else! ”

The green kite hung her head. She had heard of these, and she also knew that the three products of the Dao were ordered because of the prescription for the plague. However, the details of the difference between the word 'edict' were not noted.

She thought that Madame's seal and the like were all because of the Hou Ye, but she didn't expect that it was really earned by herself.

Slightly surprised, the green kite also became curious about the background of this low-key lady. This lady was given a three-grade edict just because she offered a prescription? Those doctors from the Tai Hospital have also gone to the epidemic area in person, and they are just rewarding some wealth and the like, at most they are promoted to one and a half levels, how can one letter be three grades?

"Mrs. knows how to make concoctions, Hou Ye looked for a good wound medicine and met Mrs., Mrs. used a good healing medicine to start a business with Hou Ye, and then, and gave another kind of healing necessary things for free, therefore, the royal plaque. Later, after the flood in Nanzhili and the plague raged after the disaster, Mrs. only brought a mother-in-law and two guards into the epidemic area to personally see the people suffering from the epidemic...... Look at the filth of those people vomiting and diarrhea to determine the condition...... Personally boiled a decoction for those people and fed the medicine to clean...... Clean up and change clothes for those who have fallen ill and died...... After living for more than a month, she went to another county when the epidemic in one county was under control...... It took nearly three months to stay in the epidemic area before the epidemic was brought under control...... If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't imagine what the epidemic will look like...... The filth of the sick vomiting was everywhere, some of the corpses were lying on the side of the road but no one restrained them, and there was the scorching smell of burning corpses that did not disperse for many days...... "Chen said slowly, not loudly, and calmly, as if narrating the most ordinary things.

But, just like that, the green kite was swishing cold on her back, creepy, and her stomach was churning, and she almost couldn't help but vomit.

She feels that she is strong enough and forbearant enough, but what is Aunt Hui saying? She endured nausea and a chill in her back, and asked herself, could she make it that far? If she encounters a plague, let alone go into the epidemic area to treat the disease and save people, just talk about the ability to protect herself, does she have it?

A woman who dares to rush into the plague-ravaged land, a woman who dares to face countless deaths, a woman who can face the threat of death and be calm and calm...... How can it be an ordinary person!

Chen narrated slowly, not ignoring the change in the green kite's expression, looking at the girl's pale face, the indignant unwillingness on her face gradually faded, replaced by a lost contemplation.

If you can listen to it, you can use your brain, so you won't sink too deep, and you won't put yourself in it in a daze!

Many people can be cruel to others; But people who can be cruel to themselves...... Is there anything else you can't do? Most of the time she was calm and indifferent, but it was just because she didn't bother to deal with those people at all.

In the pavilion, Qiu Chen was eating lunch with the two children, and Old Man Mu pulled Qin Zheng to drink together.

The wine cup prepared by the girls had already been put aside by Old Man Mu with disgust, and he directly took the bowl of soup and drank mountain wine with Qin Zheng, and after drinking a few bowls in a row, Old Man Mu put the bowl on the table in disgust, and shouted: "I said Yang family girl, when will you steam back the wine?" These are simply fruit juices, where does it smell of wine! ”

Qiu Chen was already surprised that Old Man Mu was crazy, pursed his lips, and said with a faint smile: "Don't underestimate this mountain wine, although the entrance is smooth and there is not much alcohol, but if you drink too much, it is the most intoxicating." It's really drunk, and it's possible to sleep for a few days and nights! ”

"That's it?" Old man Mu pursed his lips disdainfully, scooped up a bowl of wine and drank it dry in one gulp, and then impatiently beckoned to Chengying behind him, "Just this wine, what kind of wine jug do you use, don't bring the wine jar up, and find two more big bowls...... When a man drinks, he drinks a lot of pride, so little by little, what's the point! ”

Chengying responded, but did not move, but set his eyes on Qiu Chen.

The wine made from mountain grapes is pure natural and additive-free, and if you drink too much, you can only sleep for a while, and it will not hurt your body, not to mention that Old Man Mu has a high level of kung fu and a good amount of wine, and it is estimated that one or two jars of wine will not hinder him. So, he also nodded along the river, Chengying immediately bowed and left, and in a moment, he carried a twenty-pound jar.

It's just that the mouth of the jar that was originally sealed with mud has been opened, and Old Man Mu has drunk a few pots, and most of the remaining ones are seventeen or eighteen catties.

As soon as the old man Mu saw the big wine jar, he was overjoyed, Ha Luha smiled and pulled the two little girls who carried the wine away, stretched out his hand to grab the mouth of the altar, and with a slight force, the wine jar was lifted by him with one hand, and the other hand was held to the bottom of the altar, and the huge wine jar was lifted by him in the air, held high above his head, and then the mouth of the altar tilted, and the purple wine poured down from the mouth of the altar.

Old Man Mu bent back slightly, tilted his head, opened his mouth to the maximum, and then the wine fell straight into his mouth like an arrow...... I saw that his Adam's apple moved slightly under his white beard, and the wine that fell into his mouth was swallowed by him without falling to the ground. The wine fell down with a bang, and he swallowed it with a grunt, the movements were coherent, all in one go, looking at the proficiency of this action, Qiu Chen had to wonder, this old man who was out of tune practiced kung fu would not be just drinking bars?

After drinking a small half jar of wine in one go, Qiu Chen, who was staring at him dumbfounded, didn't see any movement from him, and saw that the purple-red wine that was pouring down stopped abruptly, and Old Man Mu also laughed loudly, "Happy, happy, this is drinking!" Zheng boy, it's your turn! ”

With the sound of his hand, the huge wine jar flew towards Qin Zheng. Qiu Chen exclaimed in surprise before he could exit, Qin Zheng pushed and swirled, and after removing the force that flew from the wine jar, his other hand firmly supported the bottom of the wine jar.

"Oh...... Wow! Daddy is amazing! Man'er stared at her eyes with her small mouth open, exaggerating and complimenting.

"Father!" Although Ah Fu only called his father, he looked at Qin Zheng with bright eyes, but he was full of admiration and admiration!

The little man has his own principles and ideas, but seems to be born with a reverence for the strong! Such an excellent man was his father...... Although he is a stepfather, it also makes the little guy faintly proud!

With Old Man Mu in front of him, it was Qin Zheng's turn, and the girls had already brought a big bowl. Qin Zheng didn't have much surprise when he drank in a big bowl again.

After drinking a jar of wine, Old Man Mu drank two-thirds of it himself, but his old face was red, but his eyes were still clear, and he was not drunk.

Qiu Chen and his two children were also full, and they were discussing with the two children the courtyard they had selected, as well as the renovation plan after the courtyard moved in.

Don't look at the two children, but for the courtyard where they will live in the future, there are many plans for reconstruction. On the other hand, the silent Ah Fu actually has a stronger desire to rebuild than the smug Ah Man, and after some planning, Qiu Chen found that this kid did not want to move except for the basic regulations of the courtyard of the main house, the ancillary buildings, and even the flowers and trees in the yard, rockery decorations, etc., there was no one who didn't want to move!

Qiu Chen was surprised at first, and then gradually couldn't help but laugh. This kid looked quiet and calm, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of thoughts in his heart. Looking at the various decoration designs in the yards and houses, they all adhere to the principle of low-key but very exquisite, and they are actually very good at the style of the children of the family!

Hmm, this kid's personality is described in modern language, isn't it 'sullen'?!

Speaking of the sullen man, Qiu Chen couldn't help but turn his gaze to the man on the other side.

Even if he was newly married, Qin Zheng did not wear brightly colored clothes, a light blue-gray spring robe was worn on his body, clean and refreshing, faintly revealing a noble and solemn atmosphere, lining his already excellent facial features, which was really eye-catching.

At this time, the man who drank a few catties of wine and had a stomach, his fair cheeks were dyed with a faint layer of red, and his originally dark and deep eyes seemed to be dyed with something.

A face burned uncontrollably, flushed, as if someone had stuffed a rabbit into her heart, pounding wildly, beating so flustered that she couldn't even breathe well.

As if he had been a thief, Qiu Chen secretly glanced at both sides, and saw that Ah Fu Aman and the maids and daughter-in-law did not look at her, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pressed his chest, frowning angrily, wanting to save the heart that was not angry, don't continue to beat wildly, she was flustered when she was beating!

"Tonight......" Suddenly a low voice sounded in her ears, and along with the sound, she was sensed with the whirring heat mixed with the faint aroma of wine, which instantly enveloped her.

"You ......" Qiu Chen was like a frightened bird, almost bouncing up. The figure flickered, but a big hand held the small hand.

"Tonight, why don't you stay here?" Qin Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and slowly finished speaking.

Qiu Chen seemed to have been spelled by a fixed spell, his whole body stiffened, and he slowed down two beats before his face turned red suddenly, and then he stiffened his neck with anger and turned his head, staring at a man who looked like a fox who had stolen a chicken, and raised his eyebrows: "It's better to move over directly today and not go back!" ”

Qin Zheng blinked and didn't answer, Qiu Chen seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and immediately said, "Or, just go to the Baishi Bridge...... It's untenable to come here and say it, even if you go back to your parents' house when you go to Baishiqiao, you won't be afraid to say it! ”

Qin Zheng blinked, then lowered his head and coughed: "Okay!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at the man who hung his head slightly, and knew that he was secretly laughing at her...... What's so funny, a person who is obviously quite upright to outsiders, how can he be so skinless and faceless when he carries someone, and he can even use the means of seduction and seduction, but he still laughs at her lack of concentration!

Hmph, she's determined to show him!

Grinding his teeth secretly, Qiu Chen endured the strange expression on his face, adjusted the smile on his face, turned his head and coaxed Ah Fu Aman, ready to go to the courtyard where the two children picked a good one to have a look, and set a plan to find someone to repair and renovate, and when they moved over in the newlywed full moon, it would save a lot of trouble.

She had just picked up her two children, and before she could say anything, Chen brought a mother-in-law and hurried over from the front.

Qiu Chen looked up in amazement, and when the two mothers-in-law got closer, she recognized that the mother-in-law who was brought in by the Chen family was none other than the mother-in-law Sun Zi, who was the confidant of Mrs. Li of the Liang State Mansion.

Seeing Chen's solemn expression, and it was Sun who personally came to pass the word, Qiu Chen also temporarily threw away those small-bellied chicken intestines, solemnly looked serious, and sat upright and waited.

"Master Hou, madam!" Chen took the lead in walking into the pavilion, bowed his knees, and then returned to the report, "Back to the Hou Ye and Mrs., Mrs. Li of the Guogong Mansion sent someone to deliver a message, saying that several aunts and aunts have returned, and they will have a banquet in the Guogong Mansion in the evening, and let the aunts and grandmothers get to know the Hou Ye and Mrs. ”

Qiu Chen's brows frowned slightly, and he turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, and the two exchanged glances, and they both saw disapproval in each other's eyes. The difference is that Qin Zheng is simply dismissive, but Qiu Chen's eyes still have a secret vigilance and vigilance!

Aunt and aunt? She is not a memory loss patient, just three days ago, she will not forget, in the cave room on the wedding night, the pair of superb mother and daughter, but gave her a big gift after marrying into the door!

Although Qiu Chen is not good at socializing, he also knows that people are social beings and cannot survive independently. When people live, they need to be handed over, and if they can meet friends, they will naturally meet the best that makes people speechless.

I just don't know if Mrs. Li has any thoughts in arranging this play?

No matter what, she has no reason to retreat without a fight, and she can't escape, she can't escape!

She is not good at socializing, but she doesn't like the way of speaking with a sentence and turning countless turns, and she doesn't like those people who hide knives in their smiles and have swords in their mouths, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have her own way.

The conspiracy doesn't work, she disdains the honey-bellied sword, she simply conspires!

Qin Zheng frowned, and was about to wave Chen away very impatiently, but Qiu Chen reached out and pulled his sleeve to block the words that did not come out, and motioned to Chen with a smile: "Please come in and talk back, I'll ask her some details!" ”

Chen glanced at Qiu Chen, nodded with a smile, and retreated to the pavilion to greet Sun: "Sun family, Madam wants to ask you!" ”

Sun hurriedly bent his knees in response, his steps were fast, but he still did not forget the proper etiquette, and blessed Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen respectively, and then spoke: "Go back to the uncle, the eldest grandmother, the grandfather and the lady of the country invite the grandfather and grandmother to go back, and today the house invited the aunt and the aunt and grandmother to have a banquet, so that the eldest grandmother can meet and get to know each other, and the relatives will be able to move around in the future." ”

"Oh? What day is it? Qiu Chen asked with a smile, and then said with an apologetic smile, "Grandma Sun, don't laugh at me, I just returned home, I don't know anything at home, and I have to ask if I have to ask if I encounter something, if I lose the etiquette because I don't know it, it's not good!" ”

"That's what Grandma said!" Mama Sun smiled humbly, and even said with some flattery, "However, the sisters around Madame are all thoughtful people, and they will never let Madame lose her manners!" ”

With such a sentence, he smashed a nail for Qiu Chen and several mothers-in-law around him.

Qiu Chen chuckled and looked at Sun noncommittally.

Sun also didn't seem to notice the mistake in his words, and continued to smile: "March 3, because Mrs. was busy with the uncle's marriage, she didn't care about participating in the banquet of each family, nor did she care about inviting the ladies and ladies of each family to the banquet, and now that the uncle and the grandmother are married, Mrs. has also felt a lot healthier these days, and is just in time for the begonias in the house to bloom just right, Mrs. wants to invite the ladies and grandmothers and young ladies in Beijing to the house banquet, after all, several aunts and aunts are out of their own homes, so they will take it over a day in advance, The family will get together first, and then Ming'er will participate in the banquet in the house. ”

Sun seemed to be a little unable to hold the conversation, paused for a moment, and immediately said: "What does Madame mean, aunts and aunts are married out, and most of them preside over the housework at home, and it is rare to get together to talk all year round, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the eldest grandmother has just returned home, let everyone get together, talk well, and the relatives of the province are divided into fewer students!" ”

Qiu Chen wanted to say that she didn't want to know those people at all.

She has long known that there are many girls who have married out of the two generations of the Liang State Mansion, but only one is Qin Zheng's aunt, the best mother and daughter in the cave room; The rest of the aunts, aunts and grandmothers, are not relatives, and they were very cold to Qin Zheng before, when Qin Zheng was a child, no one among those aunts took care of him, let alone those sisters, maybe Qin Zheng himself couldn't tell who was who!

This kind of relationship, still close to talking? Qiu Chen really didn't know what to say.

It's just that Mrs. Li made this place this time, but it is completely reasonable, and the reason is high-sounding enough that no one can say anything disagree.

Qiu Chen's heart was crooked, but he didn't show a trace of impatience with a smile on his face: "I'm tired of Grandma Sun for a special trip." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to Chen, and Chen took out two small silver bills from his sleeve and handed them over. This is Qiu Chen's preparation to reward the people of Jingbei Houfu, but it was useless, and it was a bargain for the Sun family at this time.

The smile on Sun's face deepened a little, and he thanked him for the reward, and then said with a smile: "The girls in Mrs. Gu's family are all shallot-like people, and their temperaments are also very good...... Madame said, when the time comes, it is indispensable to bother the grandmother to bother to greet a few cousins! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I naturally can't ask for a few cousins, I'm afraid that my knowledge is shallow, and I can't be happy with my cousins." ”

Smiling, Qiu Chen said again: "Thank you Grandma Sun for reminding me." You take Grandma Sun down, so let's have a cup of tea and rest before you go! ”

Chen bent his knees and agreed, handed over two more silver bills, and took the happy Sun out of the pavilion and went straight forward.

Chen and Sun walked away, and Old Man Mu, who had been working as a background board just now, suddenly laughed, pointed at Qiu Chen and said with a smile: "You girl, you have just entered the door for a few days, why did you offend your mother-in-law?" It's only been four days since you entered the door, and your mother-in-law can't wait to find you a sister! ”

Qiu Chen took a cup of tea and poured it down in one go, only to feel that his heart was more angry, and when she heard Old Man Mu's cool words, she glanced at Qin Zheng first, and then said coldly: "My mother's family has two brothers, and it's rare to have sisters and sisters who can talk well when they get married!" ”

It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, it made Old Man Mu laugh for a while, clapping his hands and almost rolling to the ground with laughter.

Qiu Chen looked at the hated old man Mu, then turned his gaze to look at the face of Qin Zheng, who looked indifferent and had no waves, stared at it hatefully, then retracted his gaze, spoke lightly, and said word by word: "I used to read ancient books, there are clouds, men and women are combined, and they are easy to deform and be stupid, and their parents can't distinguish it, so they can't help but ......smile bitterly."

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, picked up the cup of hot tea that the girls had just held and slowly sipped it cold.

Old man Mu stopped laughing from Qiu Chen's mouth, listened attentively, listened to the beginning, but omitted the most critical things. Yes, seeing that Qiu Chen stopped talking, he waited patiently for a while, but saw that Qiu Chen seemed to have no intention of continuing, so he hurriedly asked: "Yes, the old man has seen more than once, there are couples who can't give birth to good children, either crazy or stupid, and some are really specialized in giving birth to teratogenes...... Like a ghost! …… Tell me, what is the reason? Don't tell me about ghosts, I don't believe that. ”
