Chapter 220 is as immobile as a mountain

In addition to the clothes, also known as Daxiang, it means to remove the filial piety clothes on the body after the funeral of the deceased relatives. In terms of specific details, mourners are not allowed to marry, feast, or go out as guests. The grandparents and parents of the person who came out of the house should be worried during the mourning period, and only after taking the service can they seek a comeback again.

For these old etiquette systems, Qiu Chen has read relevant books, but he doesn't know the specific details, fortunately, Liu Yugui and Liu Dachuan, the father of the manchu, took the initiative to come over to preside, and she also gave full authority, and only told Qin Li and Qin Yong to pay attention to the people who came and went on that day, and the irrelevant people refused to come to the door.

Qin Li and Qin Yong got this instruction, they didn't understand it very well, they should come down in person, and when they left Qiu Chen's eyes, Qin Yong quietly asked Qin Li: "You say, who are the irrelevant people that Madam said?" ”

Qin Li, who usually smiles and grins, looked solemn at this time: "It's irrelevant, naturally it's someone who doesn't need to participate." ”

Qin Yong was stunned, there was no need to participate in the removal of the people...... It seems that the Lin family and related relatives who need to participate in the removal of clothes, such as the wife's maiden family, generally need to send someone to watch the ceremony and witness. Other than that...... The scope is wide. However, it is only within this range that they can act well.

That's it, Master Hou's order is to obey Madame's orders. Since it was ordered by the lady, then don't think about it too much, just carry it out.

Liu Yugui is old, and the specific affairs are naturally handed over to his son Liu Manyin.

After returning from the memorial service, the person who keeps filial piety returns home to remove the filial piety clothes, bathes and changes the regular clothes, and the ceremony of removing the clothes is officially completed. The rules for this ritual and sacrifice were cumbersome, and there were a lot of incense and candle offerings used, Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to it, and only let Liu Manyin and Liu Dachuan make a budget, spend the silver, and hand it over to the two of them to take the villagers to buy it.

She herself took Yufeng and Qingxing, and followed a few of the Qingjiang family to prepare the clothes and accessories after the maiden were removed.

Fu'er is five years old, and has gradually lost the appearance of a toddler who has gradually lost his flesh, he has grown a lot, his hair has also grown, and he has been able to comb it to the top of his head into a small bun, but there are more scattered around, and every time he combs his hair, he has to braid a circle of small braids and then save it into the fetal hair on the top of his head. Qiu Chen prepared a lake-blue dark cloud head cocoon silk decoration, shoes of the same color Wufu, and a dark blue belt, with beads the size of rice grains to save the Wufu pattern, and a piece of peace and ruyi mutton fat jade pendant on his waist, and a small blue purse embroidered with the Wufu pattern.

Man'er is still young, her hair is still two small pigtails, Qiu Chen prepared a string of red gold bells for the little girl, in addition to the clothes can be braided in the pigtails, two dragonfly hairpins embedded with small rubies, the clothes prepared are cherry red skirts and a pink short undergarment, with cherry red embroidered shoes with millet pearls, and a presser foot embedded with that piece of flower perpe, a set of clothes and accessories is complete.

As for Qiu Chen himself, it is much simpler, he is still wearing a tooth-white dress, with a bamboo blue half-arm shirt on the outside, the jewelry is also a simple beeswax forbidden step, and the hair ornament is the beeswax hibiscus hairpin that Qin Zheng gave a few years ago.

Lin Xu was actually not included in the removal of clothes this time, but Qiu Chen also prepared a new set of summer clothes for him. After the rain, the long straight embellishment of the azure sky, the collar and the placket are added with dark blue entwined branch flower embroidery, generous and elegant, not outstanding but definitely not make people feel rough and monotonous, and definitely not let people underestimate it. It is matched with a piece of jade pendant of the Toad Palace, the jade color is smooth and transparent, and the color and meaning are excellent.

When doing this, Qiu Chen was silent with a calm face, even the lively Qingxing was also affected, and the silence was silent day by day. She just sat silently, lowering her eyes and carefully studying the embroidery and stitches on her clothes, and she was nervous about the few needleworkers in the Qingjiang family, but she was afraid that she couldn't deal with it, and she shouldn't be Mrs. But Qiu Chen just watched, without a word of dissatisfaction, let alone criticism. Looking at the gap in her clothes, she held a book in her hand and watched silently, or looked at the quiet grass and trees in the quiet yard through the pale blue curtain on the window.

If it weren't for the fact that Afu Aman and Junyan Junzhang would laugh when the children came back from school, and if it weren't for the two dogs, Yuanbao and Tangerine, who sometimes made some noises, Qiu Chen's yard was afraid that there would not be a single sound all day long.

This kind of Qiu Chen gradually affected the people around him, first Yufeng, and then Qingxing, Chunxiang and others from the Qingjiang family. They all looked at her worriedly, but they didn't know how to persuade or understand.

A woman's filial piety for a deceased man expires...... This kind of mood, no one who has not experienced it personally, no one knows what it is like.

In this way, it was the second half of the third day of the first month of June, Qiu Chen woke up after a short nap, Yufeng heard the voice and walked in from outside, looked at Qiu Chen's expression cautiously, and replied in a low voice: "Madam, I bought all the sacrifices and offerings to be used outside, Da Chuan Ye and Man Yin Ye are waiting outside, I want you to go out and see, what else needs to be purchased......"

Qiu Chen lazily got down from the couch, raised his eyes to look at Yufeng, and said lightly: "You went out to tell the two of you, since everything is entrusted to them, it depends on them to worry about it." They thought about it, and told me I didn't understand it. ”

Yufeng responded, and while Qiu Chen spoke, he hurriedly said, "Madam, the slave maid sent Chunxiang to go on a run, and I will comb your hair." ”

Qiu Chen was not silent this time, but disagreed: "You go and take a trip and reply respectfully." I'm not in a hurry. ”

Yufeng's face was overjoyed, and the two hurriedly bent their knees to agree, and hurriedly went out.

Qiu Chen exhaled softly, his gaze turning back from the shaking curtain.

She knew that something was not quite right in the past few days, but this was not what she wanted, or what she couldn't control, it was the inexplicable reaction of this body. She remembered a sentence that a divorced female classmate had told her.

No matter who is right or wrong, no matter the outcome of the process, divorce is a lose-lose situation.

In particular, couples who have been married for a long time have been divorced, have lived together for a long time, and have shared interests, and the two people have already merged or partially integrated in some subconscious. Divorce is to tear apart a part of the fusion, just like skin and flesh, flesh and bone, being torn apart by life, it will definitely hurt the heart, and it will definitely be bloody.

In the marriage between Lin Sheng and Begonia, she clearly knew that Begonia had always loved that man. Does that man not have the slightest affection for Begonia? She felt that it was completely impossible. Begonia is so gentle and supple, virtuous and respectful, gentle as water, giving birth to children for him, that man may not be able to talk about how deep his love for Begonia, but he must also have feelings......

None of this has anything to do with her, though.

She is not a begonia, she can feel some almost instinctive reaction in the depths of this body, but she can't respond, let alone grieve herself to agree. Perhaps, she is very selfish in doing this, but in addition to treating Afu Aman well, she treats them as her own relatives, children to maintain, distressed, considerate, and take care of them...... No matter how much she can't do, she just can't do it.

She can't make compromises, become one of the man's backyards, and may even be treated as a concubine; She can't be stupid and stubborn, whether the man is alive or not.

She will strive to make her life better and pursue a more comfortable and exquisite life. As for feelings, she conforms to fate and nature, and when she meets, she dares to let go and love; If she can't meet it, she won't force it, let alone force herself to find a man to pursue the completeness in the eyes of others.

Washing her hands and face, Yufeng hadn't come back yet, she didn't wait, she combed her hair through, and then went to the kang, and took out a thin booklet from the kang cupboard, with a line of words on the plain cover: Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.

Qiu Chen laid out the plain note, sharpened the ink and added the pen, and began to copy it stroke by stroke--When the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Freedom is in the depths of Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when you want to know it......

Gradually, the feeling of depression in her heart gradually faded, she lowered her eyes, held her breath, and wrote every word carefully and attentively, and the whole person was immersed in it.

The Heart Sutra is not long, Qiu Chen is very involved in copying, and after copying the last word, he only feels that he has a long breath of turbid breath from the bottom of his heart, and the whole person suddenly relaxes.

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, did not raise his head, silently looked at the fried scriptures on the table, and prayed silently in his heart: You can go with peace of mind, don't worry about all the things in this life, your relatives and children are my relatives and children, I will treat them as good as myself......

Raising his head, Qiu Chen realized that the light in the room had dimmed somewhere. Turning around, Yufeng and Qingxing were standing at the end of the kang, looking at them carefully.

With a slight smile, Qiu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Dachuan and Uncle Man Yin are gone?" ”

Yufeng's face softened, and she hurriedly replied: "Back to Mrs., the two masters left just now." ”

Qingxing looked at the smile on Qiu Chen's face, but couldn't help but redden: "Madam, are you alright......?"

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "You stupid girl, I don't have anything to do, don't be afraid!" ”

Seeing that the two girls nodded in unison, Qiu Chen turned around and folded the Heart Sutra on the table, and told Qingxing to accept it, and she went down the kang to ask Yufeng to comb her hair.

"The second master hasn't come back yet?" Sitting in front of the dressing table, Qiu Chen asked lightly.

Yufeng nodded, "Back to Mrs., the second master hasn't arrived yet, and Master Yong has already ridden to meet him just now." Looking at the sky, I should be back soon. It rained a few days ago, there were many potholes on the road, and it was normal for the second master to come back later, so Mrs. didn't have to worry too much. ”

Qiu Chen responded and changed the subject: "The children went to practice boxing?" ”

"Well, Master Li took it with me, and I'm coming back soon."

Qiu Chen raised his hand and handed a boxwood hairpin to Yufeng, asked her to help her save it in her hair, and looked at the figure in the mirror slightly sideways, Qiu Chen smiled and got up: "Let's go, go to the kitchen and have a look." That's all there is to it, let's eat it well. Do you know what kind of food you got today......"

Yufeng quickly glanced at Qingxing, and the two girls showed a happy face. Madame's silence these days, not laughing or saying anything, really frightened them. This time, Mrs. is interested in going to the kitchen to see the dishes, and she also has the heart to inquire about family affairs...... Two days ago, seeing Mrs. like that, they were really afraid that Mrs. would be hurt by the dismissal, so they were so depressed. Especially when the two of them came back just now, they saw that Mrs. was wearing a white dress and white pants, with black hair, just sitting on the kang and quietly copying Buddhist scriptures...... At that time, they almost thought that the lady was going to leave the family behind......

In this family, not only the little master and the little lady have to rely on the lady, but also the servants and slaves of them, why don't they rely on the lady? If the lady really saw through the red dust and escaped into the empty door, what would happen to them...... They didn't dare to think about it.

Lin Xu still rushed back to Liujiaao on the third day of the sixth month, although it was completely dark when he arrived home.

Qiu Chen smiled and received a visit, seeing that Lin Xu greeted her with a slight guilt on his face, saying that he met an acquaintance who delayed the journey when he went out in the morning, Qiu Chen didn't ask much, only relieved a few times, and sent him to the West Courtyard to say hello, and came back for dinner, the meal had already been prepared, and the family was waiting for him to eat.

Lin Xu went to the West Courtyard, holding two boxes of dim sum in his hand, which Lin Xianniang asked him to bring back. Yu Liang was holding a box in his hand, carved with red flags, which looked very exquisite, as for what was inside, Lin Xu didn't say, and Qiu Chen didn't ask.

After eating, Fu'er Man'er followed Junwen Junshu to write and read as usual.

There were only Qiu Chen, Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu left in the house, and after saying a few words, Yang Shumeng said to go to the east courtyard and get up and go out.

Lin Xu looked up, his sister-in-law was sitting on the kang, wearing a light moonlight dress, no makeup, only a wooden hairpin in her hair up and down, the candle flame was yellow, but the whole person looked so warm and soft, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she was looking at an account book.

"Sister-in-law," Lin Xu took a breath and shouted.

Qiu Chen looked up in response, Lin Xu choked, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth to make a laugh, but his nervous facial features were a little out of shape.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, turned to Lin Xu and said, "Take a sip of tea." You taste, this is the first batch of Luobu hemp in our family this year, I taste good! ”

Lin Xu took the teacup and took a sip slowly, as if he had calmed down, then he readjusted his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I, I met my eldest brother this morning, I, I just lied." ”

Qiu Chen also held a cup of tea, and smiled when he heard this: "Look at you kid...... Isn't your eldest brother also your acquaintance, where are you lying. ”

"Sister-in-law," Lin Xu heard that Qiu Chen didn't mean to blame, the heavy tension in his heart lightened a little, looked at Qiu Chen with a blank eye, and said again, "Sister-in-law, eldest brother, eldest brother said that he still wants to, and he still wants to live as a family." ”

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, hid the trace of disdain and ridicule in his eyes, calmed down his emotions, looked up at Lin Xu with a smile, and said, "Second brother, you shouldn't have told me this......

"Sister-in-law......" Lin Xu was stunned.

Qiu Chen rolled his gaze. Looking at the pale blue curtains, there was candlelight inside, and everything outside the house was already hidden in the dark night, and nothing could be seen in the dimness.

You shouldn't have told her this, you should have told the poor woman, you should have told Begonia!

At the beginning, if that man had a little bit of responsibility and a sense of responsibility, he would not have left a one-year-old child and an eight- or nine-year-old child to his wife, who was pregnant with Rokka, or in such a difficult situation at home. If it is said that when Lin Sheng was just recruited to the border pass, he couldn't help but write a letter to his home, then he could always be after joining the army, right? According to her calculations, when Haitang was ill, he should have already raised the general flag, and he couldn't do big things, so it was not difficult to write a letter to his family, right?

Heh, why does she still think so, that man has returned to Anyang, hasn't he brought a letter back for a few months? Not to mention going home to see the family...... If she hadn't met her in Anyang City, it would have been hard to say whether that man would have remembered that he still had a home, a wife and a pair of children!

After calming down his emotions, Qiu Chen turned his head, still smiling faintly on his face, "Second brother, it's not that I don't live with your eldest brother, it's that your eldest brother can't live with us anymore." ”

Seeing that Lin Xu was still at a loss, Qiu Chen continued: "Your eldest brother wants to live with our family, but what name does he use? He is now Hu Yanxun, not Lin Sheng......"

Qiu Chen paused, and then said: "These, your eldest brother knows the way, otherwise, why didn't he go home at the beginning of his tenure?" No, it's been eight or nine months since he returned to Anyang, and he hasn't been home. Raising his hand to stop Lin Xu, who wanted to speak, Qiu Chen said, "When he goes back to his home, what is there that he doesn't dare to let people know, why do he take a sedan chair to the door?" He came back that time, not home. He himself understands better than anyone else that he can't be Lin Sheng anymore, and he is more afraid than anyone else that he will be known about this, which will affect his future...... The sister-in-law did this, but she just did what he wanted. ”

The blood on Lin Xu's face faded, he was pale and stiff, and his eyes looked at Qiu Chen darkly, but he couldn't say a word.

Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu and said with a faint smile: "Just like if you meet and communicate with your eldest brother, I will not object to it and will not stop it." If your eldest brother is still worried about Afu Aman, I have no objection to their father-son father and daughter meeting each other, provided that your eldest brother feels that it is necessary, and that your eldest brother does not feel that it will affect his future. After all, father and son, father and daughter are close by nature, and I will not stop opposing ......"

Seeing that my sister-in-law had been smiling faintly, for some reason, a strong sourness rushed up from the bottom of my heart, all the way into the nasal tube, and straight into the eye sockets.

Lin Xu's eyes were red, and he choked his throat and said, "Sister-in-law, you, it's just too bitter for you......"

The smile on the corner of Qiu Chen's mouth froze slightly, and then he shook his head, but did not speak.

Coming to this world, is it bitter? Qiu Chen asked himself, he really felt bitter at first, very bitter. If she didn't dare to guarantee that she would be able to return to modern times after she died, she really wanted to die immediately.

But she couldn't go back, and after having to face the reality, after trying to get familiar with the people around her, she didn't work hard, let alone feel much embarrassed, so naturally accepted Afu Aman's sons and daughters, accepted Lin Xu's little brother-in-law, and accepted the Yang family's parents, sisters-in-law and nephews......

She had already unconsciously seen this place as her home, and they were her family...... She still thinks of modern times, but the high-rise buildings and busy traffic have been really separated by a lifetime, like in a dream.

She used to feel bitter, but it wasn't because of Lin Sheng, or Hu Yanxun.

She doesn't feel bitter now, and it has nothing to do with that man!

After a moment of silence, Qiu Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Second brother, now that things have come to an end, I don't feel bitter anymore. At the beginning, I was seriously ill, and I experienced life and death, and I had already let go of those before. Look at our family, you studied hard, fought all the way to the exam, and won the show; Afu Aman is also healthy, smart and sensible, and his family's life is getting better day by day...... What's so bitter? I don't blame your big brother, I don't blame anyone. It's not easy for your eldest brother to get to this day......"

"Sister-in-law......" Lin Xu was like a child, unable to say anything, and took a step forward, but he didn't know what to say, couldn't say anything, squatted in front of Qiu Chen and choked up.

Qiu Chen gently patted him on the back of the shoulder, but did not say anything to comfort him.

When parents divorce, the most hurt is always the child.

Although Lin Xu is nominally a younger brother, he has no parents since he was a child, but he treats his eldest brother and sister-in-law as parents. Moreover, at his age, he understands some things, but he is powerless to intervene and cannot redeem his ...... On the contrary, it is not as good as Afu Aman, who is young, and he still doesn't understand these things, and the injury is naturally not so deep.

Somehow, Qiu Chen suddenly came up with a sentence from his heart: Divorce as soon as possible! Embarrassment!

Comforting Lin Xu, he wiped his tears and went back to his room to rest. Qiu Chen also took Afu Aman to wash up and rest early. Anyway, the second day was the first day of the ceremony, and the family still had to be busy!

Before dawn the next day, Qiu Chen opened his eyes.

After talking with Lin Xu last night, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep well, but she didn't expect to fall asleep peacefully.

Qiu Chen got up quietly, didn't alarm anyone, went into the ear room to wash, wore white clothes and pants and went to the east room, took out the Heart Sutra again, and copied it with a pure heart, the sky was already bright.

After putting away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Qiu Chen took out the Heart Sutra copied yesterday and compared it with what he copied today.

The copy copied yesterday is obviously much more impetuous, but now this one can see a quiet taste in every stroke.

Exhaling softly, Qiu Chen folded the two Heart Sutras and put them together. When you enter Anyang Mansion, give them to the Iron Tower Temple.

Qiu Chen also came here to gradually understand that at this time, the temple not only received money, grain, rice, oil, salt, and clothes, but also welcomed some sincere good men and women to copy the scriptures. Giving these sutras to those who believe in Buddhism and hope to be blessed by the Buddha but cannot read or write is much more meritorious than simply giving money and possessions!

She doesn't expect any merit, she only hopes that Begonia can really let go of her obsession.

Hearing the movement, Yufeng and Qingxing walked in from outside the door, and when they looked up, they saw Qiu Chen dressed in white and sitting sideways on the couch with his hair draped. The same clothes, the same hairstyle, the same smile...... But today's lady makes them feel extra close and warm, completely without the cold and plain of yesterday, as if they are about to escape from the world, and the coldness makes them chill!

"Madame, when did you get up, why didn't you call the slaves and maids in to serve?" Qing Xing couldn't help but get a little carried away when she saw Qiu Chen's smile.

Qiu Chen glanced at her and said with a smile: "Look at the one who came to pick me up early in the morning......"

"Madam, don't you dare to ...... Well, it's the slave who is wrong, begging the lady to atone for her sins! Qingxing hurriedly bent her knees to say goodbye, but looking at her smiling appearance, she also knew that she was sloppy!

After breakfast, Liu Dachuan and Liu Manchu came over. Soon, Liu Yugui also rushed over with the support of Liu Manyin.

As soon as the Lin family entered the courtyard, they built a shed with straw, set up an offering table, and placed Lin Sheng's tablet and three animal offerings on the table, and lit incense and candles. Qu Banxian wore a brand-new Taoist robe of indigo, holding a whisk, and the two little Taoist children behind him held chime bells and other things, chanting scriptures in front of the offering table to surpass the soul.

Qiu Chen took Lin Xu and Afu Aman but only waited in the backyard, and when the time came, he went out, led by Liu Manyin and Liu Dachuan, and behind him was Man Hoard with more than ten young men carrying offerings and sacrifices, out of the Lin family all the way east, to Lin Sheng's grave, cleaned up the grass on the grave, added soil, placed offerings, burned a sacrificial text written by Mr. Pan, and purchased the people, horses, vehicles and other sacrifices, Qiu Chen took Lin Xu and Afu Aman to kowtow and perform the worship ceremony, and took off the hemp clothes that had been worn on the body early in the morning, and the ceremony was officially completed.

On the other side, Qin Yong and Qin Li led two guards, but they silently confronted a dozen centaurs in the distance.

Hu Yanxun rode on a horse, watching the fireworks in the field from afar, looking at the two big and two small ones in a filial piety dress to the grave, and when he turned around from the grave, the clothes were still plain, but there was no filial piety clothes...... The expression on his face was blank, but the emotions in his eyes were hard to distinguish.

I was able to watch my wife and children go to the grave for myself, keep filial piety for myself for three years, and hold a filial piety ceremony...... Probably, he is also the first!

It's just that looking at the neighbors of Zhuangxiang who used to live next to each other and helped and supported him, I looked at the weak woman holding two small figures one by one, followed by a thin young man who was not enough...... Somehow, he seemed to have seen the funeral a year and a half ago.

At that time, the second brother was younger, the two children were younger, and the family did not have the wealth it has now. What's more, it was the first time I heard the bad news, and when I learned that his dead body was gone, I set up a grave for him......

At that time, how desolate should it be, how sad and mournful?

Inexplicably, he remembered the bright little girl he used to be; I thought of the night in the cave room, after the red hijab was lifted, the bride with a shy face; remembered the day she gave birth to a son for him, her extremely tired sallow and pale face, but she still held up a smile at him......

Qu Banxian'er took the two little Taoist children to sit in the Lin family and drank two pots of good tea, and when she saw the Lin family turn back, she praised the two children for their extraordinary lives, and they will be rich and prosperous in the future, so they sent out two talismans to Afu Aman, got fifty taels of silver, and went satisfied.

As soon as the Lin family entered the courtyard, the sacrificial shed was demolished, seven or eight tables were set up, and all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish were served in large bowls. Removing clothes is a happy event, and everyone comes to help, which also means praying to put aside the sadness of the death of relatives and live a good life.

These things outside are taken care of by Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu, as well as Liu Manyin and Liu Dachuan presiding, without Qiu Chen's mother and children, they went back to the backyard and went into the ear room to bathe, and each changed into the new clothes that had been prepared.

Ah Fu's clothes are okay, but Ah Man has never worn such a bright dress since he was a child, he is very excited and fresh, he looks down at the cherry red skirt on his body from time to time, and he runs away to look at the dressing mirror for a long time, and he is not annoyed by Junyan's jokes, so he just ran out of Lu to find the second uncle and the eldest brother and the second brother to complain. However, in Qiu Chen's opinion, the little girl's complaint is fake, and it is true to show off her new clothes and jewelry.

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, and did not stop it, watching Ling'er Meizi follow out of the room quickly, and then went into the ear room to bathe.

After washing away the dust from the field and changing into the new clothes that had been prepared, Qiu Chen walked out of the ear room, and seemed to be unprecedentedly relaxed. The rope that bound her body, she couldn't see or touch it, but it always made her feel extremely heavy, and from now on, this rope is no more. She could live for herself.

The mothers-in-law cleaned up the east ear room, Qingxing and Yufeng dried Qiu Chen's hair, combed their hair, and saved the moist and full beeswax hibiscus, Qiu Chen's already beautiful face instantly became brighter, and there was a little more flying between his eyebrows and eyes, and Qingxing, who was looking at it, looked at the mirror in a daze and muttered: "Madame is so good-looking!" ”

Qiu Chen rolled her eyes, smiled and instructed Yufeng: "Hurry up, go get two copper plates, this girl has been flattering like honey since the morning, if she doesn't reward her with two dollars, it will be troublesome to see that Panpan has a problem!" ”

Yufeng shook her mouth and agreed with a smile, and really went to the kang cabinet to touch two copper plates and stuffed them into Qingxing's hand. Qingxing opened her mouth, her eyes flashed, and when she saw Yufeng's eyes at her, she hurriedly bent her knees happily to thank Qiu Chen, which caused Qiu Chen and Yufeng to laugh again, and even the Daxing family who came in to ask about the meal laughed.

After setting up the meal, Afu Aman Junyan Junzhang and the children were retrieved, and the family ate in Qiu Chen's house lively. Lin Xu came in, took Afu Aman out of the village, and thanked the people in the village, until the end of the day, the banquet in front of him was dispersed, and dozens of neighbors who helped in the village supported each other to leave with the smell of wine.

Some women and daughters-in-law in the surrounding area stepped forward to clean the cups and bowls and washed them. Two more tables were set up in the front yard for the women to eat. Qiu Chen went out to let him drink twice, and it was rare for the women to drink a few cups each, blushing, grinning, and carrying the leftovers scattered by the Lin family.

Sent everyone away, the cleaning of the house has its own Daxing family and everyone is busy, Qiu Chen slightly straightened his clothes, came out of the east courtyard, and went to the west courtyard.

Accompanied Mrs. Lin to talk for a while, Qiu Chen didn't mention the removal of clothes, and Mrs. Lin didn't ask, the two of them only talked about Lin Xianniang's shop, Lin Xu's academic examination, and even the crops in the field...... After talking for half an hour, Qiu Chen proposed to leave.

Mrs. Lin smiled and held her hand and said, "These two families are pointing at you up and down, you pay more attention to your body, you don't feel it when you are young, and you will try it out when you are old." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and bent his knees in agreement, shook Mrs. Lin's hand back and said, "Don't worry, old lady!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qiu Chen resigned.

Outside, the sun was setting in the west, and Junwen and Lin Xu were carrying a ladder to hang lanterns at the door. It turned out that the Lin family had always hung a white lantern, and from now on, the Lin family gate could also hang a red lantern.

In the pond, the heavy rain caused the high water level to recede a lot, a pond of blue lotus was not disabled, but more and more crowded to occupy most of the pond, between the cascading green lotus leaves, a few lotus flowers, blooming, pink, white and pink, reflecting the blue Lingbo, beautiful, and ethereal and light as if not eating the fireworks of the fairy in the world.

Qiu Chen beckoned to Afu Aman: "Go and take out the glass lamps of the two of you, hang them in the pavilion tonight, and let's enjoy the shade here later!" ”

Ah Fu Aman cheered, and rushed in with the girls and boys, looking for Yufeng to get them glass lamps.

After all, it was a busy day, and everyone in the Lin family had dinner, skipped the lotus pond pavilion and sat for a while, and then rested early.

Early the next morning, Lin Xu got up and went back to Anyang City. In addition to the completion of the service, he also has to focus on his studies. Besides, after all the things he had experienced yesterday, Lin Xu also wanted to go back and meet his eldest brother as soon as possible......

He didn't do the eldest brother's entrustment, but after some persuasion from his sister-in-law, he thought a lot about it himself, and really accepted his sister-in-law's approach. Now that the eldest brother has come to this point, he can't be with his sister-in-law anymore. In this way, there is no need to make a fuss about abandoning his wife and children, it is the best for the eldest brother - except that the sister-in-law is too bitter and tired, and she has paid too much!

Fortunately, after his quiet observation, the sister-in-law was really as she said, after experiencing some life and death, she had seen it and let it go, and she did not dwell on the past, did not be depressed, and was not full of resentment. The sister-in-law's smile is still warm, still tolerant, and still makes him feel at ease.

That's it, the eldest brother is still here, and the sister-in-law is still there, the only difference is that the family is not in the same place. This result is much better than the grief of losing his eldest brother.

Afu Aman and Junwen Junshu brothers, after a day off, also resumed their morning and evening exercise and school life.

In addition to the ceremony, Qiu Chen let go of a matter of concern.

I was not in a hurry to go out, so I simply began to think about the prescription for epidemic prevention and treatment at home. However, she was not in a hurry, she only sent someone to the Huichun Hall in Qingshui Town to purchase medicinal materials, and she had nothing to do for the time being, so she took the Daxing family and Qingxing to her own pepper field.

After the heavy rain, the surviving pepper seedlings have resumed growth, Liu Sanhe took advantage of the rain to apply fertilizer again, the pepper plants have a lot of hard work in a few days, the leaves are black and shiny, and the leaves have bloomed small white flowers. Seeing that the white flowers have fallen, you will be able to eat fresh green chili peppers in half a month.

Standing in the pepper field and thinking about what to cook with green peppers, Qin Li rode over on horseback.

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, and he hurriedly walked out of the pepper field, and before she could come to the ground, Qin Li had already jumped off the horse: "Madam! ”

Qiu Chen hurried two steps, trying to calm himself and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Li opened his mouth, but stopped again, and looked at Qingxing and Daxing behind Qiu Chen.

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to speak, Qingxing and Daxingjia forced their hands to walk along the road twenty steps away. Qin Li looked at the two of them, and then lowered his voice and said: "Madam, I just got the news, Yishui County, less than three hundred miles south of Anyang, has killed countless people and destroyed houses due to floods...... Rumored, it is likely to be ...... Epidemic disease! ”

As soon as she saw Qin Li galloping over, Qiu Chen's first thought was Qin Zheng's injury, and when she saw Qin Li's face closely, there was only anxiety and worry on her face, but there was no sadness, she had already ruled out the possibility of Qin Zheng's injury worsening, and when she heard Qin Li talk about Yi Shui, she was already sure. The Great Plague was followed by the Great Plague...... It really made her worries come true.

Plague, this is not the modern modern era of national dispatch, concerted efforts, and perfect epidemic prevention and control methods. At this time, there is no clearer idea of what a plague means than Qiu Chen, who has personally experienced SARS.

Her brain was buzzing, her heart was beating faster, and even her palms were dripping with a fine layer of sweat, which was slippery and made her irritable and sad.

Take a deep breath, calm down, calm down!

Take a deep breath – calm down! --Stabilization!

No one can help you here, you have to be calm in order to protect yourself, your relatives and the people around you......

After taking a few deep breaths in succession, Qiu Chen's face was still pale, but the panic in his eyes was gone.

300 miles away from Anyang...... So in other words, there are still 400 miles away from Liujiaao...... Liujiaao is also located in a remote area, as long as the people in the village are restrained from entering and leaving at will, the introduction of epidemic diseases can be completely avoided. However, Lin Xu had just returned to Anyang this morning...... There is also Lin Xianniang in Anyang, as well as the father, mother, brother and sister-in-law of Nannuma Lake and Yang's shop......

Qiu Chen's face turned pale again, but she was barely restrained, and after taking a few deep breaths in a row, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Qin Li, his expression had completely calmed down: "Let's go, let's go home first, this matter must be carefully considered!" ”

Qin Li had just galloped to find Qiu Chen, and he was also shocked for a while, plus Qiu Chen had made some relevant arrangements before, so Qin Li would come to find her at the first time. When he saw that Qiu Chen was so frightened that he almost fainted because of hearing the news of the plague, he regretted it a little. No matter what Madame says, she is just a woman and a child, dispensing medicine or something, what can she do about the plague that is as fierce as a tiger? In previous years, when the plague occurred, there was no shortage of famous Langzhong doctors, and sometimes even when it was very important, they would send the forbidden imperial doctors to go over, wasn't there any good way?

However, it was only for a moment, and the lady with a pale and shaky face tried to calm down again, and did not panic, but was able to say the words of 'careful consideration' as calmly as before. General's demeanor?

Qiu Chen walked out of the hall for four or five steps, only to find that Qin Li hadn't moved, and couldn't help but turn around in confusion: "Master Li, can there be other things?" ”

Qin Li woke up suddenly, and subconsciously forced his hands to respond: "Mrs. Hui, it's okay!" ”

Qiu Chen blinked, nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, go home first." Although the epidemic has already flinched, judging by the symptoms you just mentioned, it will not spread so quickly. Let's go home and sum it up, and it's not difficult to deal with self-protection......"

Qiu Chen's words didn't seem to be finished, but Qin Li already understood what she was not finishing. But looking at the countermeasures Qiu Chen had made before, she knew that she had a way to deal with the epidemic. It's just that the small population of my family is easy to restrict, but the epidemic is not a matter of one family, the surrounding personnel are not well coordinated, and the scheduling is unfavorable, and there is no way to completely prevent the spread of the epidemic.

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

Today's rare day was completed before eleven o'clock, and I breathed out, and I was relieved......
