Brother Yun staggered out of the carriage, saw his brother and sister jubilant, and was about to jump down from the wheel in a hurry, but was grabbed by Qin Zheng's hand quickly, the little thing was not happy, kicking two little fat legs and struggling to chase it, was slapped on the ass by Qin Zheng unceremoniously, and was honest, turned his head and opened his little arms towards Qiu Chen, and called aggrievedly: "Mother......"

Qin Zheng showed a heartfelt smile when his wife said it.

Qiu Chen was helped out of the carriage by Qin Zheng, and when he heard the cheers, he turned his eyes and looked over, and saw a group of children cheering and jumping, like birds throwing themselves into the forest, and couldn't help but smile all over his face. Turning his head to meet Qin Zheng's gaze, he said with a smile: "Looking at their appearance, I don't know, I thought they were locked in a cage and released!" ”

Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng took a large group of men, women, old and young, to Xishan, and arrived at Xishan, it was past the end of the hour, and it was close to noon, the adults and children bumped all the way, and they got off the horse and got off the car, but no one was disgusted and complained, and they looked at the beautiful scenery in their eyes excitedly, and without waiting for Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen to greet them, Aman and Zhixian Zhide, and Zhen A few small ones were already cheering, and ran to the apricot blossom forest behind the small courtyard with Huan'er.

March 3, in ancient times, it was called sarsaparilla, which means that the weather warms up in spring, the river melts, people can go to the river to wash their hair and bathe, clean themselves at the same time, but also admire the beginning of the earth's rejuvenation and the beginning of the cycle of years.

Of course, you can also bypass the small courtyard, climb the stairs, step on the simple bluestone steps to climb up, step into the apricot blossoms, and get close to and feel the beauty and splendor of spring.

The small courtyard set by the Marquis of Jingbei is located on a platform that protrudes into the West Lake. The main house of this small courtyard is a brick and wood structure with white walls and blue tiles, and the verandah and the platform pier in front of the courtyard gate are made of cedar. Facing the lake on the mountain, there is also a flat boat tied to the wharf, people can fish on the plank wharf near the lake, or you can take a boat to enjoy the scenery and fish on the lake. When you look back, you can see a large area of pink and white apricot blossoms on the hillside, spreading all the way over the top of the mountain and spreading as far as the eye can see.

Since Qiu Chen had already planned, he naturally asked for a small courtyard here, but he didn't stop much, just stored the carriages and horses for the maids and cooks to cook and prepare various dishes and soups, so that everyone could have wine and food to be delivered in a timely and proper manner when they were tired and hungry.

For a long time, in order to facilitate the official eunuchs and their dependents, the Tieji Temple has built more than a dozen small courtyards under the apricot blossom forest and the blue wave pond of the West Lake, and the staggered walk is spread, and some green tile powder walls have been added to the red apricot and blue waves, and this picture has added a new scenery.

There is also a lake under this west mountain, known as the West Lake, and the Dabo Lake is equal to the Yongding River water system, connected with the living water, the perennial water waves are sparkling and the smoke waves are vast, especially in spring, the blue waves of the West Lake and the apricot blossoms of the West Mountain reflect each other, the sparkling water, the cloud-like apricot blossoms, constitute a harmonious and beautiful picture, and become the first choice for the female dependents of the official eunuchs in the capital to go out on the third day of March.

Thinking of the old feelings, Taizu allocated 50,000 taels of silver to repair the Yuanjing Temple, after that, the Taoist Buddhist Temple on the mountain is only headed by the Iron Threshold Temple, Weng Mountain is close to the three mountains, Wangshan, Lishan, and the West Mountain are all owned by the Iron Threshold Temple, and the slopes behind the Iron Threshold Temple are planted with plum trees; Wangshan is a peach; Alexandra is planted with foliage trees such as red maple and maple trees; Xishan is located in the westernmost end, because it is the farthest away from the capital, the wild apricot trees on the original mountain are large and large, and have not been replanted, a hundred years later, the scenery of each season on the four mountains is into the painting, but the red apricot of the first push Xishan is the most splendid and moving, every year at the end of February and early March will attract a large number of visitors to come, enjoy the flowers and enjoy the scenery, in the apricot blossom forest, colorful and falling in the Yingzhong, linger and forget to return.

There is Weng Mountain in the west of Beijing, which is the remaining vein of Yan Mountain. There are lakes at the foot of the mountain, called Qilili, Dabo Lake, Wengshan Lake, and West Lake. Before the Song Dynasty, there are several Buddhist temples and Taoist temples on Weng Mountain, among them, the iron threshold temple was originally called Yuanjing Temple, when Taizu lurked into the abyss, there was a period of time when he was quite embarrassed, he had lived in Yuanjing Temple, the deepest impression of Yuanjing Temple is the iron threshold of more than one foot on the mountain gate, after Taizu got up all over the world, the capital is now the capital, do not forget the past, and revisit the hometown of Yuanjing Temple in Xishan, after seeing the iron threshold, laugh and mention the word: iron threshold. Since then, the name of Enjing Temple has been gradually replaced by Tiejiji Temple.

Junshu and Lin Xu naturally had no objections, and also agreed with solemn expressions. Qin Li also asked Junshu to take the time to talk to Junwen, reminding and reminding, the three of them quickly put this matter aside, and even Junwen called over together, and listened to Qin Li introduce all kinds of places of interest and historic sites in the western suburbs, lakes, rivers, mountains, ancient temples and temples.

After all, he is a guard, Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu are the masters, but from another angle, Qin Li has taught a few people kung fu after all, and he can be regarded as a master, but it is legitimate for the master to teach a few words. And because Qin Li was young, and he talked to Junwen Junshu Lin Xu playfully without estrangement, saying such a thing made it easier for them to accept.

After Qin Li saw the momentary embarrassment and embarrassment between the two, he quickly regained his calm expression, and secretly congratulated himself that he had not made a mistake, so he naturally arched his hand happily and said, "You know it...... This bustling and lively place in the capital can be compared with Anyang Anping, some places and some people are the most contaminated, accidentally stepping in, compared to the future reputation, maybe even a little life can not be heard in the slightest sound, you two, plus Junwen, you have to be cautious, just study hard with peace of mind, don't pay attention to those irrelevant things! ”

Hearing this, Junshu and Lin Xu were dumbfounded, stunned for a while before coming back to their senses, looking at each other, they both saw the look of shame and embarrassment in each other's eyes and faces, Lin Xu arched his hand and said to Qin Li: "Thank you Master Li for telling you the truth, otherwise, if the two of us ask others, we will really lose face and lose our hair!" ”

So, Qin Li quickly considered the words and sentences, and told the two of them about the March 3rd White Flower Group Tour.

Speaking of this, seeing that Junshu and Lin Xu were still curious in their eyes, Qin Li thought about it for a while, decided not to hide it, and simply made it clear. He knows the character of Junshu Junwen and Lin Xu very well, and knows that they are all simple and upright people, and after knowing what the so-called 'lively' is, he naturally disdains it.

Qin Li was startled when he heard Junshu Lin Xu's words, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Hou Ye and Ah Fu who were guarding his wife's car in front of him, and saw that the two were still talking and riding their horses forward, and they didn't hear the sound of talking here, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand towards Junshu Lin Xu, and lowered his voice and said: "How can it be a good thing, it's just something that some frivolous and prodigal people are keen on......"

Seeing that Lin Xu couldn't ask anything here, Junshu rolled his eyes, Junwen, who was riding a horse and walking in front, was more focused on reading than him, and knew less about these things, Qin Yao ...... It's not very familiar, and it's hard to speak...... When his eyes fell on Qin Li, who was guarding both sides of the convoy, Junshu's eyes lit up suddenly, he smiled silently, said hello to Lin Xu, drove his horse to catch up, and went to Qin Li to inquire about things.

Some things are often like this, you can see it clearly at a glance, and you can see the ugly, ugly, dirty, and dark ones, and there will be no sense of freshness and mystery, but the more you hide it, the easier it is to arouse people's curiosity.

Junshu glanced at him with some surprise and nodded, but his heart became even more curious.

Lin Xu has been studying with the Guo family's uncle and nephew for more than a year, and has studied in Anyang for several years, and has been in contact with more people than Junwen Junshu, and he also knows a lot more about the various beings in the society, the three religions and the nine streams, just heard Qin Hao say that, and roughly had a guess, at this time, listening to Junshu's question, he unconsciously had a face full of astringency, and said in a low voice: "Listening to Qin San's words, after all, it is not a serious matter, you and I should not ask more." ”

He touched Lin Xu with his elbow and said in a low voice, "I don't know what is so lively, making Qin Liu so anxious!" ”

Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu naturally didn't take it to heart for such a little thing, and they both arched their hands and said no. Although Junwen Junshu looked at Qin Hao's arrogant demeanor and frivolous demeanor, and didn't like to be close to him, he still couldn't help but be curious about the 'liveliness' he mentioned.

Although Qin Hao disdains and respects Qin Yao, he is extremely in awe of Qin Zheng, hearing Qin Yao mention Qin Zheng, his heart is cold, he quickly calms down, glared at Qin Yao with some unwillingness, and drove his horse forward. Leaving Qin Yao to Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu to smile at him: "He is young, and he is a little willful when he is spoiled by his wife, so bear with me!" ”

Qin Yao smiled and said, "If you miss it this year, just wait for next year." The sixth brother should not be in a hurry...... Big brother and sister-in-law are watching from the front! ”

"Another day? It's only one March three a year, when will it be changed to another day? Qin Hao didn't care about Qin Yao, the concubine brother, at all, and when he heard Qin Yao stop him, he was immediately annoyed, and asked rhetorically.

Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu didn't know anything about the capital for a short time, and they weren't wanderers, so they naturally didn't understand the twists and turns in the Hualou Opera Garden. Qin Yao understood Qin Hao's temperament, hearing him say this, and then looking at the shy, pretending to be mysterious expression on his face, he probably guessed something, knowing that it was not a good thing, he was afraid that the three honest young men of Junwen would be seduced, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Sixth brother, I will follow my eldest brother and sister-in-law on a trip today, and I can be regarded as the master, how can I leave a group of guests behind and run away by myself!" The capital is prosperous, to see where the excitement needs to be confined to this day, or another day! ”

Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu are also familiar with Qin Yao and Qin Hao after the flower meeting a few days ago, at this time, not long after leaving the city, Qin Hao rode a horse to the middle of Junwen Junshu Lin Xu and Qin Yao, and said with a smile: "Let the car go first, we are a little behind, I will take you to see the excitement!" ”

Of course, these people don't dare to compete with the official eunuchs' families, most of them are slightly wrong, and most of the eunuchs go out of the city around the beginning of the morning, and these fans don't dare to go out until the end of the day. In this way, you can avoid bumping into any official eunuchs, and you can also avoid those women from good families, and show their bewitching beauty arbitrarily. Just like oil and water, no one can tell who is not close to whom, but for thousands of years, the formation has coexisted in the world.

At this time, the ladies of the eunuchs naturally sat in the car and couldn't see it, but the pink-headed actors in the Qinglou opera garden were dressed up one by one enchanting and charming, and the cars they took had no car walls, only hanging down with a light silk veil, and the pink-headed actors were sitting in the light veil, their eyebrows and eyes were hazy and visible, and the wind blew the car to move, the gauze curtain moved, and the beauties inside were even more dream-like and beautiful, and they were in a trance like a fairy concubine!

The prodigals of the capital were the most excited this day, and they got up early in the morning, put on the clothes they thought were the most jade trees facing the wind, and rushed to the city gate in groups of three or five, gathered together, and commented on one car after another.

The people of Jingbei Hou Mansion, there are Qiu Chen's invited companions, and there are also friends invited by Afu Aman, twenty men and women, plus the maid's mother-in-law to guard the small house, forming a large team of forty or fifty people, more than ten carriages followed, Qin Zheng took Lin Xu, Junwen Junshu, and Qin Yao, Qin Hao, Ah Fu and others on horseback, riding in front of the convoy, and there were guards on both sides and behind the convoy to support them, and the queue was strict, and they left the noisy West City Gate in a measured manner, and went all the way to the west.

Many people who traveled to the city rode horses and cars, and even took sedan chairs out of the city. Because there is Xishan Imperial Garden in the west of the city to open to the people on this day, but also because there are many famous temples and ancient temples on the west mountain, the scenery is beautiful, and there are rivers and lakes scattered and scattered, therefore, most of the people who go out of the city to play come to the west, for a time, the west city gate is congested, and the people outside the city are also neighing, noisy and lively.

By the time the group had gathered, it was already the beginning of the morning.

Qin Yao is a worry-free, but Qin Hao can't, he didn't have to worry about Qin Xiuyi and the Li family for a small drama and a drama before, and now on March 3, it's not just the daughters of good families who are traveling, but the fans in the Qinglou Opera Garden will also dress up as wandering, and the banners are high, not to mention that those prodigal people are naturally eager to go, even if the good sons are not careful, they may be seduced by those smoky and flattering women. Since Qin Hao has a criminal record, he naturally has to be careful and guarded, in case something happens, there is no way to explain it to the Li family.

After leaving the West City Gate and waiting outside the City Gate for a short time, the invitees arrived one after another. Seeing Qin Yao and Qin Hao coming together, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, and saw that Qin Zheng nodded slightly, so he relieved himself.

The family gathered in Mu'en Courtyard, had breakfast in the hall, and set off from the Jingbei Hou Mansion by car at the end of the hour.

Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng took the children to change into the clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, and the girls and mothers-in-law packed up the things they wanted to carry early and sent them to the front yard to load the car.

The next day, the whole family got up early in the morning.

Watching the children work hard, Qiu Chen was relieved and inevitably distressed, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only go around to the big kitchen and tell him to strengthen some nutritional supplements for supper. In particular, the ingredients for brain strengthening and brain nourishment are carefully selected and added to the children's meals and snack.

After eating, Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng and the children to the school field to exercise, Qiu Chen was tired, and slowly walked two laps and turned back, almost at the same time as her, Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu also left the school field and went back to the room early to study.

Qiu Chen didn't interrupt her, he listened with a smile, and at the same time listened distractedly to Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu Afu on the other side discussing Jingyi lively...... After Junwen and Junshu had a new husband, their enthusiasm for learning was particularly high, and they couldn't wait to be on the scriptures and scriptures all the time, and they refused to be distracted a little, but they didn't seem to have much interest in the March 3rd outing the next day.

Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to hold Brother Yun in his arms, and Man'er sat on the side with her, muttering and counting who she had invited, and when the time came, they would go to pick wild flowers, enjoy apricot blossoms and peach blossoms, and go fishing by the lake......

She came out of the clean room, and soon the children returned. The family got together and talked about going out of the city the next day, whether it was an older child like Junwen Lin Xu, or Man'er Zhide, even Brother Yun was ignorant and could understand a little, and he also followed his brothers and sisters stupidly and happily.

Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked for hot water to take a bath, only then did he feel a little relieved.

It was busy in a complicated and orderly manner until the time of the palm lamp, and only then did it be properly tied.

Prepare these properly, as the convener of this March 3rd outing, she also has to think carefully and prepare everything about the food and refreshments that the host and guests will use all the way, and even the pills and injuries that may be used. I also had to send people to Tongzhou Zhuangzi to stand in front of the station, clean up the house, prepare bed tents, bedding, and utensils, and prepare all kinds of tea, wine, snacks, and so on.

After two busy days, the second day of the third month of March was finally basically ready. Seeing that the next day, March 3, she discussed with Yi Xuan again, and prepared for herself, the children, Qin Zheng and others to prepare the clothes and accessories for March 3.

I discussed with Mama Chen Yufeng and picked the mother-in-law, ready to call Zhixian and Virtuous, and after selecting it, I brought it to Yixuan for her to see for sure.

Two days later, Qiu Chen went to Wisteria Xuan to see Yi Xuan's mother and daughter tidying up, and at the same time found a number of silk and medicinal herbs that their mother and daughter were wearing, sent someone to send them over, and put them in Lili. He also instructed people to clean up the second entrance of Mu'en Courtyard, and first moved Ah Fu in, and Ah Man lived alone in the third entrance.

Qiu Chen smiled, sent Yixuan's mother and daughter away, and went back to Wisteria Xuan in the backyard.

Yi Xuan had calmed down at this time, and nodded with a very soft smile: "Sister-in-law arranged it very properly!" ”

said, and said: "Does the Zhai family in Tongzhou have anything that needs to be cleaned up?" …… You don't have to go back, just send a mother-in-law back, pack up your things, and go on the road together on that day. What do you think? ”

After a while, the mood of the two people calmed down, Qiu Chen called Chengying in, washed the faces of Yixuan and Mingwei mother and daughter with warm water, and cleaned up again, Qiu Chen also cleaned up a little, looked at the sky, it was close to dusk, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "This day, you are tired enough, go back and rest for a while, I will take someone to send dinner over, you go back and clean up, don't miss anything......"

Yi Xuan was choked and speechless, so she could only wipe the tears on her face and nod her head again and again.

Stretched out his hand and took Yixuan into his arms, put his arm around her shoulder, gently patted her back, and said softly: "You stupid child, why are you crying, go back and live a good life...... We don't fly up, but we can't wronged ourselves, there are brothers and sisters-in-law! ”

When she was about to separate, she cried again, Qiu Chen also felt that the sour eye sockets were okay, and the circles under his eyes couldn't stop reddening.

"Sister-in-law......" Yi Xuan only screamed, but she was choked and speechless.

Yi Xuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly came back to her senses, and the tears that had not fallen when she said the separation of mother and son just now couldn't help but roll down. What do you say that the shop I bought before was not renovated...... She knew that it was just a pretext, and this shop was set up by her sister-in-law for her. This gives her the most direct and intimate protection and support...... Ordinary fathers and mothers can't do such things, but I didn't expect the eldest brother and sister-in-law to think so carefully for her and do it so carefully.

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "I bought a store in Changqing before, and I haven't freed up my hands to rectify, there is some vacancy after the year, I have sent someone over to clean up, in the back street of the Yamen, it is still our Renhetang, if you have anything, make a silver use of personal money, even if you send people over, our own shop is not much different from our own home." ”

Qiu Chen has her own children, so she naturally understands Yi Xuan's feelings, she held Yi Xuan's hand and patted it gently, comforting, turning her eyes, and sending the girls and sons away, and then said slowly: "If you go back this time, it is inevitable that there will be some things to deal with, and leaving the two children here will save you from having the heart to take care of it." This is one of them. Second, my sister-in-law also needs your assistance when she is in a foreign office, and she needs your assistance to hand over entertainment...... Also, don't be confined to taking care of the children and neglect to take care of your sister-in-law......"

Putting the two children on the side of her brother and sister-in-law, Yixuan naturally knows that it will be of great benefit to the future of the two children, but after all, it is her own flesh and blood, and Zhixian is young and young, and it is inevitable that it will be a little difficult to part with the mother and son abruptly!

Yi Xuan nodded again and again, her eyes slightly red: "Sister-in-law, the two naughty and naughty ones will make you suffer in the future." ”

"Since Master Zhai wants Zhixian to stay, I'm not welcome, after you leave, it's not appropriate for the two children to still live in Wisteria Xuan, not to mention that it's far from the front yard, after all, it's close to the lake, and no adult can take care of it. I just thought about it, Fu'er Man'er is still living in the yard in front of my yard, so I simply moved Zhixian and Zhide over, so that the three boys live in the second and the girl live in the three, all under my nose, I take care of the convenience, you can rest assured. Qiu Chen had listened to Master Zhai's words before, and had already calculated the matter of the two children, and when he talked to Yi Xuan at this time, he directly talked about his plans.

Yi Xuan laughed a little, sister-in-law's words, it sounds straightforward, but it makes people feel extremely down-to-earth and reassured.

"What are you doing, you are my sister and my son's aunt, how can I watch you wronged...... If it weren't for this, I wouldn't care! Qiu Chen quickly pulled Yi Xuan to sit down, laughing and joking.

Qiu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Yixuan up, and motioned for Chengying to hold Mingwei.

"Yixuan, thank you big brother and sister-in-law for being thoughtful!" After entering the main room of Mu'en Courtyard, Yixuan thanked Qiu Chen for bending his knees. Seeing her mother like this, Ming Wei also followed her to salute.

Seeing off the old man of the Zhai family, Qin Zheng went to the study in the front yard, while Qiu Chen accompanied Yixuan Mingwei's mother and daughter all the way to Mu'en Courtyard.
