Chapter 265: No Interest
Chapter 265: Hide
Qiu Chen wiped his hands, his brain calmed down, and he was a little confused, what about holding hands between men and women, or even hugging? In modern times, don't you often pat your shoulders with that group of senior brothers, brothers, colleagues, and classmates? When their research was successful, the entire lab embraced and celebrated...... When attending some occasions, he also held the arms of his colleagues and brothers...... So what? Why did a man react so violently with such a small action that was not up to grade today?
Could it be that he has stayed in this era of strict etiquette for a long time and has been assimilated? To be touched is to be molested, that is, to lose virginity, which is more serious than the sky falling?
Hey, the more you live, the more useless you become!
Secretly reflecting on it, she despised herself, and Qiu Chen's panic was forcefully suppressed by her. When she raised her head again, her face was still dizzy, but her expression had calmed down, her eyes had calmed down, and even the corners of her mouth had a hint of a smile again.
Putting the handkerchief in his hand on the kang table, Qiu Chen smiled, looked at the man opposite, and said lightly: "Hou Ye's injuries are now healed, Hou Ye is tall and responsible, there must be a lot of important matters waiting for Hou Ye to deal with...... I don't know when Hou Ye will return, so I can arrange to see Hou Ye off! ”
Qin Zheng's eyebrows raised high, and then slowly fell, and finally he couldn't hold back and chuckled: "Although Benhou's external injuries are closed, the internal injuries have not healed...... Moreover, Ben Hou has already written today, and he will heal his wounds here and then return to the capital...... Your send-off banquet will have to wait a while, and when Benhou's injuries have healed, you will come to receive it again. ”
Qiu Chen glared at Qin Zheng, who was suddenly lazy, and held his breath in his chest, almost out of breath. She can't go back in time at this time, and just issue an expulsion order, how can she go around the bend with this person...... Well, wrap yourself in.
She was also fooled by the fame of others, and the world only said that the original Jingbei general, and now the Marquis of Jingbei have great military achievements, prestige, and invincibility...... How could she have forgotten how it was possible for someone with courage and no strategy to achieve such great feats? And the so-called strategy, to a large extent, is equated with a thick heart and black face!
After lowering his eyes and smoothing the weather, Qiu Chen didn't have the heart to continue talking, so he was about to get up and say goodbye. Qin Zheng said at this time: "I have already told Mr. Ding in the afternoon, the weather should be fine the day after tomorrow, let's take the children to hunt at that time!" The items you need to prepare for going up the mountain will bother you. ”
Qiu Chen didn't have much joy when he heard the news of the hunt at this time, but he just agreed officially, "Master Hou is polite!" "Get up and leave.
It's just that as soon as she turned around, before she could take a step, she heard Qin Zheng sigh behind her and said softly, "I was abrupt just now...... It's just that I'm not rude and frivolous...... Well, I've admired you for a long time, and I love you...... I, can I ask the official media to come and propose marriage? ”
Qiu Chen, who had his back to Qin Zheng, seemed to have been immobilized and suddenly froze on the spot. Even his breathing and heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment.
It seemed that after a long time, Qiu Chen came to his senses, took a deep breath, stiffened his neck and turned around, his eyes were unprecedentedly calm, and he looked at Qin Zheng and said: "Hou Ye is outstanding, has outstanding merits, and has made immortal achievements at a young age, compared to the woman of Begonia Village who is a character in the eyes of the clouds......"
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen's stiff face had eased down, his expression had calmed down, a smile stretched out at the corner of his mouth, he paused, and said: "Haitang knows that Hou Ye is a joke, but Haitang still thanks Hou Ye for his wrong love. Begonias are self-made and lowly, and dare not climb high. ”
After speaking, Qiu Chen solemnly curtsied his knees and gave a salute, turned around, and walked out of the hall without hesitation.
This time, Qin Zheng didn't stop it again, but just watched with deep eyes as the woman straightened her waist slightly and left...... Then, when he lifted the curtain, the curtain fell, swaying slightly and gradually calming down, and he sighed helplessly and distressedly.
He was still too anxious...... Scares her, right?
At night, after coaxing Afu Aman to sleep, Qiu Chen began to reflect on his behavior, the more he reflected, the more he felt that he was inexplicable in his reaction, Qin Zheng was certainly an excellent man from the outside to the inside, but such a high-ranking man, she never thought about it, she never thought about marrying like a high-ranking man, all she wanted was plain and warm happiness, the two of them stayed together and enjoyed each other...... Obviously, these men with Qin Zheng's bright aura don't match......
Well, after dissecting her thoughts and hearts, Qiu Chen was relieved, she did not lose her mind, and the reason for her abnormal reaction was probably really influenced by the ideology of this era. Again, she became more and more confined to the backyard life, dealing with some household chores every day, and pondering some food and clothing...... It's been too long since there has been a formal study job, so she ...... Fallen!
Well, after finding the reason and asking his heart, Qiu Chen was relieved, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep sweetly, and had a good night's sleep. As for the crazy words said by a certain cerebral convulsion, they were selectively forgotten by Qiu Chen.
On the second day, Qiu Chen got up and washed, and when he sat in front of the state and combed his hair, he instructed Yufeng: "After a while, you go to the front yard to find Qin Yi and ask for a list of items that need to be prepared, you can prepare according to the list, and Ming'er will use it!" ”
Yufeng's eyes flashed, and she responded respectfully.
After washing and combing, Qiu Chen went to Xili, greeted the second elder, and after the old man Yang Liancheng went out for a walk, he accompanied Liu to walk around the house for a while, watering a few pots of flowers in the house, loosening the soil, and exercising. Liu has the old problem of coughing and wheezing, and is most afraid of hot and cold changes and choking wind, sometimes choking on the cold wind, it may cause coughing and wheezing, and it can't be slowed down for several days, so Qiu Chen thought of a way, put some winter evergreen potted flowers in the lobby of the main house and everywhere, and handed them over to Liu to take care of, which is pleasant and pleasant, and can also be active and active, soothing and soothing muscles and bones.
After the mother and daughter finished serving the flowers, Zhao also came over. Because Zhao's body is getting heavier and heavier, Liu also asked her not to say hello in the morning and evening, and eat in her own room, but Zhao said that everyone was lively together and was willing to come over to talk, so Liu was not reluctant, and only told her not to get up early, sleep well and take care of her body.
The mother and the couple went back to the Xili room together, Yuhe prepared hot water, washed the hands of Liu and Qiu Chen, and Zhao naturally took the handkerchief in Yuhe's hand and handed it over, waiting for Liu to dry his hands and get on the kang, and Zhao followed Qiu Chen to sit on the edge of the kang.
After a while, the sweaty children and the leisurely old man Yang also turned back, and after another lively laughter, they washed up, and the children changed into dry clothes, and then sat down for breakfast.
After breakfast, the children went to the school, Yang Shumeng went to the East Cross Courtyard, Qiu Chen said goodbye to Liu with a smile, and went straight to the backyard out of the main house.
Yang Shumeng and Jialiang have burned out the colorless glass, but the leveling process is not good, and the thickness is uneven...... What she wants is the glass for the microscope, that is, the optical glass, which is not only transparent, colorless, and free of bubbles, but most importantly, the thickness must be finely controlled......
Jia Liang has been pondering this for the past few days...... Even Yang Shumeng got tired of working for a few days in a row, but Jialiang was a tough and patient man, and he still kept trying and pondering every day.
At this point, in fact, Qiu Chen couldn't do anything at all, so after she burned the glass, she shook her hand and handed it over to Yang Shumeng and Jia Liang to ponder. Today, she wanted to find something to do for herself, but she couldn't stay in the house, couldn't calm down, couldn't practice reading or anything, so she had to go to the kiln room in the backyard.
Jia Liang is already lighting the furnace and preparing for burning glass. Qiu Chen walked in, a hot breath came to his face, Qiu Chen rubbed his cold hands, casually went to put the cloak on his body on the hanger at the door, lifted the long skirt up, tied it with the silk silk around his waist, and went straight to the stove.
"Madame!" Jia Liang hurriedly stopped and greeted.
Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so polite...... How's it going? Is there progress? ”
Jia Liang took out a few palm-sized pieces of colorless glass with some frustration, handed them to Qiu Chen, and said, "It's still not smooth enough, and people will be out of shape when they see through the light......
As Jia Liang spoke, Qiu Chen had already picked up a piece of glass and held it up in front of him to inspect it, and the scenery seen through the glass was a little out of shape, so it was obviously impossible to make optical glass...... Alas...... Qiu Chen sighed, and the frustration on Jia Liang's face deepened a lot.
"Oh, although this kind of glass has not yet reached the standard I use, it can be used as a window pane!" Qiu Chen suddenly found something interesting, looked at Jia Liang with a happy face and asked, "How big can such glass be?" ”
Jia Liang couldn't keep up, and was stunned before saying, "I haven't tried a big ......."
Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Come, let's try this today and see how much we can do at this level......
After all, the production method of flat glass is not mature, Qiu Chen and Jia Liang tried it several times and finally determined that the flat glass that can be made is only the size of a book, and no matter how big it is, it will be uneven or cracked......
Qiu Chen looked at the book-sized flat glass, although he was a little regretful, he was satisfied. With such a large glass panel, you can fit a few pieces in the middle of the window, which not only increases the amount of light, but also allows you to look directly from the inside of the house...... At this time, this is already second to none, and there is no semicolon.
Thinking in her heart, Qiu Chen asked Jialiang to continue firing this undemanding flat glass, while she wrapped herself in a cloak and hurriedly turned back to the front yard. Zhao Jiu instructed him to immediately find a carpenter with exquisite craftsmanship, transform the window lattice, make the settings for installing glass, and instructed the carpenter to bring more putty.
After such a busy day, in the evening, Liu sat in front of the window and looked at the yard in surprise and joy, and praised again and again: "Hey, how can you see it so clearly...... It's like nothing at all...... Hey, this thing is so good, it doesn't delay seeing things, it's not windy at all, and it's bright and warm...... That's nice! ”
Liu chattered, reaching up and touching the glass, as if trying to use his sense of touch to determine whether there really was an object. Qiu Chen looked at it and smiled secretly, although it was colorless glass, it was still a little green, and it couldn't be completely colorless at all, where was there such an exaggeration as Mrs. Liu said...... Of course, there is the surprise of new things, but I am afraid that it is more of a recognition and comfort for the child's filial piety!
Liu was looking at it, when suddenly a human face came out of the window, a wrinkled and gray beard.
Liu Shi was startled, and then said out of the window in disgust: "You old man, why did you run out all of a sudden, scare me!" ”
Qiu Chen and Zhao couldn't hold back and laughed secretly, but Yang Liancheng had a straight face, looked around the window, walked farther away, and then walked to the side to take a look, and then walked into the house with his hands behind his back, and said in a sullen voice: "This thing is bright and bright, but it's not deep, the things in this room are seen outside, what's going on!" ”
Liu was really unhappy this time, and looked at the old man Yang Liancheng and retorted: "You old man, what can be going on in the house, are you still afraid of people looking at you?" I think it's good to be so bright and dignified, you can see the outside when you sit on the kang, it's not better than the black paint in the house! ”
Old man Yang Liancheng was bumped in front of the juniors, his face was a little uncomfortable, and he was about to scold him when he stared...... Qiu Chen saw that something good was about to trigger a quarrel between the two old men, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Old Man Yang and said, "Dad, don't you be afraid of this, don't we have curtains?" Open the curtain during the day, and tear the curtain at night, and you won't be able to see outside! ”
Old Man Yang also seemed to think of the glass window at this time, it was his daughter who was the first to install it for the second elder, a piece of filial piety, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his anger naturally dissipated, but he still stiffened his face, nodded reluctantly, dropped a sentence to find Old Man Mu, and left with his hands behind his back.
Liu pouted at Old Man Yang's back, and snorted: "A dead old man, it's still problematic to pick and choose!" ”
Qiu Chen and Zhao couldn't help laughing, Qiu Chen stepped forward and said: "Mother, I remember that you will cut the window flowers, this is about to be the New Year, you will think about a few more window flowers these days, when the time comes, our windows are pasted beautifully and brightly, pasted on the glass, not only can be seen in the house, but also outside the house, then it is beautiful!" ”
Zhao also smiled beside him: "Really, the window flowers cut by our mother are famous in the surrounding villages, and they are the most vivid." Mother, if you cut a peony flower and paste it, how beautiful it is! ”
Liu Shi looked at the glass on the window and nodded: "Well, it's also nice to cut a fish boy." ”
"Well, well, and the magpie Dengmei cut by the mother is also good-looking......" Zhao agreed enthusiastically next to him, and Liu's face also became happy.
Qiu Chen couldn't take these words, and he was afraid of revealing his stuffing if he said more, so he smiled and said: "It's itchy to listen to it, I'll find someone, Ming'er will go to the town to buy red paper for my mother......"
With these words, Qiu Chen retreated from the Xili room.
The first one is the room of Liu and Old Man Yang, and the second room is the Xili room and the Xici room in the front yard, and the windows of the second courtyard and Qiu Chen's room can be renovated tomorrow.
Qiu Chen asked people to go to the front yard to send a message to Zhao Xing, and Ming'er came back with some red paper when he was shopping for vegetables. Firecrackers should also be booked early. This year, in addition to the clothes, the Lin family has Lin Xuzhong's talent, and she is a big happy event when she is entitled, so there is no need to be silent during the New Year, and firecrackers are also set off, and window flower couplets are pasted to celebrate the New Year happily.
As soon as the order was finished, the children ran into the courtyard from outside, shouting for joy. But he didn't enter the house, but went straight to the root of Liu's window, looked at the glass on the window with excited eyes, and sighed and laughed with his fingers.
Man'er was a little girl, and she looked at the window from the outside and was not high enough, so she was too tired after jumping a few times, so she was the first to run into the house, went straight into Liu's room, kicked her boots and climbed onto the kang, and waved her chubby little slap at the brothers outside in the window, making faces.
The whole courtyard was lively and noisy for a while because of the laughter and talk of the children.
After dinner, Qiu Chen saw the starry sky outside through the window, and announced with a smile to the children that Ming'er would go hunting. Once again, the children cheered.
Yang Shu slammed the loudest Jun Yan, slapped it on the buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "If you want to go hunting, you will go to Ming'er, you kid is so energetic that you want to go up the mountain at night!" ”
Junyan rubbed his ass to dodge, and said to the second uncle with a smile: "The second uncle can't go home, the second uncle is not happy!" ”
"Go, you stinky boy, and you're squeezing up the second uncle!" Yang Shu glared fiercely and made a gesture to fight again, Junyan jumped off the kang with a smoke, and ran away with his shoes.
Junwen Junshu also got up, took his younger brothers and sisters to say goodbye, and went to the second courtyard to read and write.
The children were going to hunt, and Qiu Chen and Zhao couldn't stay idle, so they went to prepare clothes for the children to wear and food to wear on the mountain, and bring some spare clothes and so on......
Getting up and leaving the house, Qiu Chen said to Yang Shu: "Second brother Ming'er, go, I'll stay at home!" ”
Poplar was slightly surprised, but did not object. In his heart, it is only right that a woman should stay at home. I readily agreed.
Because they had to go up the mountain, the children's morning exercise was suspended for a day. Despite this, the children got up earlier than the other, and before the middle of the day, they went to the backyard together.
The children usually wear long straight trims, fur coats, fur hats, scarves and gloves. The fur coat is Qiu Chen's transformation, more like a modern fur coat, the sleeves are independent, which can free the children's hands to move freely, and the body is tight and warm.
All Qiu Chen had to do was to prepare deerskin boots for the children, stuffed them with thick cotton, and prepare spare clothes and gloves. Prepare some fire, steamed buns, fried snacks and sugar cubes, these things are easy to carry and high in calories, which can quickly provide the body with the calories it needs to withstand the cold. Of course, there are also pots, stoves, chopsticks, seasonings and other things for going up the mountain, so you should have a picnic when hunting......
These things were moved to the outer courtyard in a variety of ways and handed over to Qin Yi and Qin Li, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu Aman by the hand and whispered to them to be obedient, not to run around, to follow the adults, and solemnly entrusted them to Qin Li and Qin Yi. Qin Li and Qin Yi were a little surprised when they saw Qiu Chen coming out in a skirt, and when she entrusted the children to them, even Qin Yi couldn't hide her surprise.
Qin Li smiled dryly, glanced at Qin Yi, and hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, madam, we will definitely take care of Fu'er Man'er." ”
Qiu Chen pretended not to see their strangeness, and joked with a smile: "You can't just look at Fu'er Man'er, as well as Junyan Junzhang Junli and them, you have to show me well, I boiled the soup base, and when you bring back the prey, let's eat it in the pot!" ”
Qin Li smiled brightly, touched his head and agreed: "Madam, please rest assured!" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and thanked him, turned around and stared at the children and got into the car. The children were too young to be afraid that they would not be able to stand riding horses all the way, so they still prepared their cars and went all the way down the mountain to change horses.
Qin Zheng walked out of the house in a black robe wrapped in a black mink cloak. Qiu Chen, who was dressed in a skirt, was slightly stunned at a glance, and his originally gentle expression instantly cooled down.
Qiu Chen sent the three small ones of Ah Fu and Ah Man Junli into the car, Jun Yan Junzhang twisted and was unwilling to get into the car, and was thrown into the car by Yang Shumeng with one in one hand. Yang Shumeng took the whip himself, stood beside the wheel, and said to Qiu Chen with a smile: "Sister, with me watching them, don't worry, you can't turn the sky!" ”
Qiu Chen nodded with a smile, took a few steps back, noticed someone approaching behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that Qin Zheng had already come behind her, standing two steps behind her, his eyes dark and dark staring at her.
Somehow, Qiu Chen lowered his eyes a little weakly, and when he was halfway down, he woke up again, and raised a bright and soft smile on his face: "Master Hou, I bother you to take the children to hunt...... Well, be careful, children, and you should be careful, your wounds have just healed not long after all. ”
Qin Zheng stared at Qiu Chen condescendingly, and somehow, he suddenly became happy, the cold color on his face disappeared, and a very faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said with his jaw: "I wrote it down, don't worry!" ”
After speaking, he didn't hesitate much, strode past Qiu Chen, took the whip handed by the guard, recognized the stirrup and got on the horse, sat on the horse's back, looked at Qiu Chen sideways and said, "Wait for me with peace of mind...... It's good to be back! ”
When the words fell, the reins of the horse in his hand shook, and his legs clamped the belly of the horse, and the big black horse let out a sigh of joy and joy, and ran out of the house with his hooves raised.
Qin Yi and Qin Xiao hurriedly hit their horses to catch up with the guards, while Qin Li and Qin Yong were a little behind, and the carriage and Junwen Junshu Chengzi, who were driving with poplars, also caught up tightly.
