Chapter 286: March 3 (2) Second Watch
In fact, the apricot blossoms of Fayuan Temple are not fiery red, but similar to the color of rose red, although not strong enough, but far more enchanting and charming than fiery red, and it is spread out in such a large area, it has caused a great impact on the vision and psychology, and people can't help but marvel and admire!
As soon as the two boys of the Tang family, Runchen Yanshen, saw the large apricot blossoms, they shouted loudly and admired, Lan Zhi was older after all, and because she had to behave politely outside, she didn't shout, but she also subconsciously held Qiu Chen's hand beside her, lit a large red apricot blossom and said: "Aunt Begonia, there is really such a beautiful red apricot blossom...... It's so beautiful, it's like a cloud! ”
Wu Shi looked back and smiled helplessly at Qiu Chen, "These three leather monkeys are difficult to come out, and this one can't be controlled." ”
Qiu Chen smiled: "Children, it's good to be innocent and lively...... When they grow up, all kinds of things are pressed, and they can't be so carefree, and they don't have to be too restrained! ”
Wu shook his head with a smile: "No wonder your children are very good, just you spoil them so much, indulge them, it's no wonder they don't like you!" ”
"That's the children are sensible and polite, and if there is really anything wrong, I am also very strict!" Qiu Chen made a serious statement, causing Wu to cover his mouth and laugh for a while.
Looking at the large apricot blossoms walking past, but it took three quarters of an hour to come to the bottom of the hillside, looking up, the cloud-like apricot blossoms on the hillside were finally close in front of me.
The monk bowed down and asked: "There is a pavilion on the top of the slope, and there are also a few grass houses on the mountainside, I don't know where the lady and the young lady are going?" ”
After all, Wu is a high-ranking girl raised by Jin Zun Yugui, and her physical strength is much weaker, that is, Lan Zhi, although she has a lively temperament and loves to talk and move, but her activities are always limited, and her physical strength is also not very good, she has walked for three quarters of an hour, although in Qiu Chen's opinion, the speed is extremely slow, but she is also a little panting, but Qiu Chen is busy every day, and she also likes to grow vegetables and clean up at home, and her physical strength is much better, even if Lan Zhi next to her hangs the weight of half of her body on her arm, she does not feel tired, and her breath is peaceful and even, There was not the slightest hint of panting.
"It's so pretty!" Lan Zhi leaned on Qiu Chen's arm, panting and admiring.
Qiu Chen smiled and agreed.
Lan Zhi sighed faintly, "Such a beautiful scenery, there should really be beautiful verses to sing, but unfortunately, I can't remember a single sentence at this time." ”
After speaking, Lan Zhi frowned and pouted and meditated for a long time, but she didn't think of any suitable verses, and shook her head very frustratedly: "I just remembered the sentence 'Spring flowers gradually become charming', but unfortunately there are no apricot blossoms." ”
Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Apricot blossoms are also a kind of spring flowers, and they bloom before the peach and plum, they are spring flowers, and it is also appropriate to call them spring flowers." Although Lan Zhi's sentence does not have apricot blossoms, it is more interesting than straight apricot blossoms! ”
While talking, Wu Shi was talking, and the group had already walked into the apricot blossom forest, and the leap in front of him was like a butterfly, rushing into the apricot blossom forest, and it had long disappeared.
Wu shook the palace fan, raised his hand to pull away a horizontal apricot blossom, and ignored the red petals that fell one after another, only turned around and smiled: "Let's not make any poems and lyrics, look at it and look at it twice, and play for a while...... For what kind of beautiful scenery, you have to rack your brains to think of some poems and songs, that is the great scenery......"
Qiu Chen almost burst into laughter, but after a while, he couldn't hold back his laughter, squinted at Wu and sighed: "I know who Lan Zhi's free and easy temperament is!" ”
Wu Shi also smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Why not, my lord is gentle but cautious, speaking of which, not only this girl, but also the temperament of those two skin monkeys is afraid that they will follow me!" ”
"When I was unmarried, I was the youngest in the family, and my brothers and sisters all let me ...... Every time we get together, I hear me cooing and laughing...... That's what my eldest sister said about me! Wu sighed with emotion, a layer of nostalgia appeared on his face, and then he said quietly, "It's a pity that when I grow up, my brothers and sisters marry each other one by one, and the wives marry their wives...... I also married into the Tang family as a wife and mother...... Hehe, no wonder some people say that adults are not comfortable, and they are not adults! ”
Qiu Chen pursed his lips and looked at the Wu family, this noble lady was in the courtyard of the deep house, although she had a hearty personality, but she seemed to be restrained by the layers of courtyard houses, and now she was in the mountains and apricot blossoms, and her free and hearty nature broke free from restraint and revealed.
sighed in his heart, and the etiquette restrained people, but he said with a smile on his face: "Young and simple, with the support of his parents, he doesn't need to worry about himself at all, he is naturally casual." As for adulthood, men and women marry to be fathers and mothers, or to seek a career and economy, or to support a family, or to be in charge of the family, and to honor their elders and raise children...... Shouldering the responsibilities that you should fulfill, there are naturally fewer times when you can be willful at will. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen saw that the Wu family and Lan Zhi's mother and daughter were both engaged, and their steps were getting slower and slower, and they gradually had the intention of stopping, so he smiled and said: "But, people can't always be restrained by their own temperament in life, they can't be happy or angry, how depressed is that, what else does it mean?" …… But we can also find such a good time today, bring one or two friends, enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and it is best to bring a few exquisite foods...... When you are tired, sit on the ground, couch on the ground, listen to the mountain breeze and drink the clear spring...... How free and happy! ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen lowered his voice and whispered to the mother and daughter of the Wu family and Lan Zhi who looked yearning: "However, it is better for your mother and daughter to carry Lord Tang on their backs...... Lord Tang has a strict temperament, and the rules are afraid that they are also big, if you know the Tao, your mother and daughter may not be willing to do anything, I am afraid that I will complain! ”
Wu's mother and daughter sneered, and Lan Zhi shook Qiu Chen's arm and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a man's voice in the apricot blossom bush say: "Sit on the ground, couch on the ground, listen to the mountain breeze and drink the clear spring...... How jolly and wanton...... Ha Lu Ha, wonderful wow, wonderful wow! ”
Wu and Lan Zhi were both startled, and they turned their heads in horror to avoid it. Qiu Chen could hear it clearly, and his eyes followed the voice, but he saw the flowers and branches moving, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the person who came had already reached the side of him, where could he avoid it.
His mind was flying, Qiu Chen's gaze also swept over the maiden mother-in-law who followed behind him, as well as Qin Li, Shen Hu and several domestic servants in the Tang Mansion in the future, trying to calm himself, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I can't avoid it." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Wu's orders, only swept his eyes over Qingxing and Chunxiang behind him, and the two girls reacted very quickly, and they had already caught up quickly, protecting Qiu Chen and Wu's mother and daughter. Qin Li and Shen Hu also reacted extremely quickly, and in a few jumps, they blocked Qingxing and Chunxiang again. The maids and daughters of the Tang Mansion moved a little slower, but they also followed closely behind the Lin family and surrounded them, protecting Qiu Chen and the Wu family's mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter of the Wu family both turned their backs to the comer, and Qiu Chen turned slightly sideways, and saw the shadow of the flower flickering, and a figure with a golden crown and jade belt in a true red silk brocade robe had already walked out of the flowers.
Qiu Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't miss Qin Li and Shen Hu, who were blocking in front of her, and lowered their heads quietly, avoiding the person's gaze. This person was followed by a white-faced man with a slight waist, and then, five or six young scholars walked out of the flowers, and the young man in Tsing Yi, who was slightly shorter than everyone else, was none other than Lin Xu, who went to participate in the poetry meeting!
Qiu Chen looked at the crack, saw that Lin Xu was also looking over, and saw that Lin Xu was about to open his mouth to call someone when he was stunned, so he quickly shook his head and made a silent gesture.
This gesture is not used at this time, that is, Qiu Chen often does it with Ah Fu Aman, and Lin Xu also knows it, so he opened his mouth, but he almost swallowed the voice that came to his throat, and only looked at Qiu Chen worriedly.
As soon as he appeased Lin Xu, he was about to turn back and avoid the Wu family's mother and daughter, when he heard the nursing home from the Tang Mansion stand forward, and shouted loudly with his chest straight: "Who is making noise here?" This is the family of Lord Tang's mansion, and you can't avoid it quickly! ”
"Snort...... Hehe......" chuckled with an obvious sneer and contempt, "interesting! ”
Qiu Chen's heart tightened when he heard this, he pulled Lan Zhi on his side, and said in a low voice: "Dismantle your jewelry......"
Wu also reacted, and immediately pulled Lan Zhi down and made her body shorter...... Fortunately, just now their mother and daughter walked a few steps and had already stood behind an apricot blossom, with some small movements, but they were not afraid of the people over there finding out.
Lan Zhi has not yet reached the hair, she is still in a double bun, and only a few red gold cordyceps hairpins have been saved on the bun, which is more gorgeous than ordinary maids. Wu's hands and feet were fast, and he dismantled the red gold hairpin on Lan Zhi's hair bun in three or two clicks, Qiu Chen reached out and wiped it on the tree, and then brushed Lan Zhi's cheeks......
"You cover these ...... with a handkerchief," Qiu Chen commanded in a low voice.
Lan Zhi was a little unsure, but she still subconsciously felt that Qiu Chen was reliable, so she took a silk handkerchief and half-covered the stains on her face...... Originally, as long as you look closely, you can see that the cheeks are only stains and not rotten sores...... On the contrary, it greatly increases the credibility.
"Bold!" The white-faced man scolded, his piercing and sharp voice was uncomfortable, and at the same time, it also added another reason to Qiu Chencai's guess.
"Hehe, don't be rude!" The brocade-clothed man smiled and waved his folding fan, and the white-faced man immediately hid his momentum, lowered his eyebrows and retreated to the side.
After slightly correcting the golden crown and stroking his robe, the man in brocade took another step forward, and looked at the family of the Tang family Lin family as if it did not exist, and smiled directly at the Wu mother and daughter in the crowd...... I hope Mrs. Tang won't be surprised! ”
Xiao Wang......
Even if Qiu Chen vaguely guessed the identity of this person just now, he was still shocked to hear him admit it in person. The behavior of this person should be Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi who left a few days ago......
The white-faced man who took two steps back should be the eunuch beside Yang Jingyu, and at this time he said arrogantly: "Bold, I don't knock when I see King Qi!" ”
Since the other party has revealed his identity, Qiu Chen and the three of them have to bow and greet them. She and Lan Zhi followed behind Wu, knelt on the ground, and saluted like a ritual...... The girls, the mother-in-law, and the family, the nursing home, naturally followed the hula and knelt on the ground.
In the chaotic greetings, Qiu Chen hung his head, took advantage of the time to support the ground, and stained some loess rubbed the gum on Laneige's face, which was originally only slightly yellow, but after staining the loess, the color was a little heavier, and it looked a little dirty.
Lan Zhi is a little girl after all, and she doesn't know that the world is sinister, and Qiu Chen wiped dirty things on her face twice, although she trusted in her heart, she was still a little unhappy, and her little mouth pouted.
After Qiu Chen finished wiping, he pulled Lan Zhi and lowered his eyes, his face was calm as if he hadn't done anything.
I heard Yang Jingyu's slightly mocking voice sound again: "No need to be polite." ”
Ya, it's time to kneel here, it's time to kowtow, and then you don't have to be more profitable, it's really fucking hypocritical!
Qiu Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he still kowtowed with Wu to thank him, and then slowly Wu helped Lan Zhi to stand up from the ground together. She knew that this was not a joke at this time, and she couldn't be negligent at all, so she only pulled Lan Zhi to follow behind Wu, lowered her head, and used her shoulders to half-cover Lan Zhi behind her.
Fortunately, although Qiu Chen was thin, he was slender, more than half a head taller than the petite Lan Zhi, and the Wu family also had the intention to cover it, but most of the eyes looking at Lan Zhi were obscured.
"Hehe, you don't have to be restrained......" Yang Jingyu smiled gently, and then asked directly, "The bold and free words just now can't help but be admired...... I don't know who said it? ”
When Qiu Chen heard this, he almost vomited blood. Who would have thought that he would provoke such a hungry wolf!
She didn't want the Wu family to stand up for herself, and was about to stand up, but she heard that the Wu family in front of her had already bowed down and spoke: "It's just a cheap concubine who forgets to appreciate the flowers and talks casually, where is it worthy of such praise from His Royal Highness King Qi." ”
The smile on Yang Jingyu's face froze, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, he squinted his eyes, his gaze swept over the Wu family and several young women who were half-hidden behind him, picked the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "I have long heard that the women of the Wu family are extremely talented and do not lose to men. When Xiao Wang sees Lord Tang, he must congratulate Lord Tang on being able to marry a woman like the Wu family girl with superb talent and free temperament...... Ha Luha, Lord Tang is very blessed, it is really enviable! ”
If what Yang Jingyu said before was just a faint negative test that made people uncomfortable, it would be very rude to say it this time. Hearing the voice of the female dependent, it was rude to come up abruptly, but at this time, it was not only rude, it was shameless to be involved between Lord Tang and the Wu family...... Shameless!
As soon as he heard the mention of Lord Tang, Qiu Chen felt Lan Zhi, who was holding his hand, tremble slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw that Wu Shi was also slightly discolored, and a cloud of anger rose on his cheeks, but he could only endure it, lowered his head, and made silent resistance without responding.
However, Yang Jingyu didn't want to let go of the female relatives like this, shaking the folding fan, with a hint of banter on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Since Mrs. Tang just said that the sky is the curtain and the earth is the couch, and the scenery here is beautiful, at this time, Xiao Wang also intends to listen to the mountain breeze here and drink a sip of clear spring...... I also invite my wife to join me, and I want to come to Mrs. with her free and natural true temperament, I will not refuse Xiao Wang, right? ”
Little Wang Ba? Qiu Chen shook his head, and was almost made to laugh by this coherent word.
Biting his lip, he almost held his breath before he suppressed the urge to laugh. But I heard the Wu family suppress his anger in front of him and said: "Thank you King Qi for your love, it's just that the cheap concubine is shallow in learning, so I won't disturb King Qi's Yaxing." ”
"Hey, how could it be ......" Yang Jingyu wanted to say something more, but a man in a green shirt behind him took a step forward, stood behind King Qi, and whispered a few words close to King Qi's ear.
King Qi raised his eyebrows, his gaze crossed Wu's shoulder, and fell directly on Qiu Chen behind Wu's body.
"Behind Mrs. Tang is Yang Shuren, who was personally given an edict by the emperor?" Yang Jingyu asked in a faint voice.
This question not only shocked Qiu Chen's heart, but also made Wu and Lan Zhi equally frightened and worried.
Qiu Chen was born in the mountains, although he did some things and got the order of the Sanpin lady, his behavior on weekdays is extremely low-key, and he rarely goes out to socialize, in addition to the Tang Mansion, the Guo family and the Yun family who have not yet moved away...... At this moment, Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, suddenly turned his target to Qiu Chen, and both Wu and Qiu Chen knew that it was the result of the man in Tsing Yi whispering. Wu didn't know this Tsing Yi scholar, but Qiu Chen was first surprised, then angry, and at the worst, more secretly bitter.
Shengmi endou Mi hate, sure enough, he and Lin Xu treated each other sincerely, and paid sincere friendship and a lot of money and goods in exchange, not only was it not a thankful retribution, but a hard bite at a critical moment......
The scholar with a thin face in a green shirt and a somewhat more gloomy demeanor than before was none other than Han Jingyu, a talented man from a poor family who had been helped by Qiu Chen many times before!
However, after Qiu Chen recognized Han Jingyu, she didn't have much anger, she had long been wary of Han Jingyu's temperament, and when she saw him in person that he was about to take revenge, she wasn't very angry, but looked at Lin Xu for the first time, signaling him to be calm and calm, and not to be impatient.
Seeing that the little fourth child of the Guo family held down Lin Xu, who was full of anger, Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Lan Zhi, took a step forward nervously, stood side by side with the Wu family, bowed down and blessed, and said in a low voice: "The Yang family's mountain and wild woman, I haven't seen anything in the world, and the etiquette is not thoughtful, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will take care of it." ”
Yang Jingyu saw clearly that the person who gave the gift was just a thin woman, no fat powder, no hairpin ring, and the clothes were plain and simple, and even the etiquette was obviously rusty and rough, which made Yang Jingyu, who was used to seeing exquisite makeup, very disappointed.
His face turned pale, and he waved his hand perfunctorily: "That's it." ”
Qiu Chen secretly spit on him, and made another rough blessing, then he stood up and stood beside Wu with his hands in a restrained manner. From beginning to end, there was no head-up.
I don't know if he was discouraged by the silent Wu family, or disgusted by Qiu Chen's rough and twisted behavior, Yang Jing turned around gloomily and went straight past the Tang and Lin families to go up the mountain.
Han Jingyu's eyes flashed, and she quickly stuffed a purse into the eunuch's hand, lowered her voice, and said quickly: "The bathing thing that His Highness praised a few days ago was made by this Yang Shuren. ”
