Hearing this, Qiu Chen also laughed: "No, I'm happy and stupid." Hurry up, take the second brother and Chengzi to the guest room, wash up, and let's eat and talk slowly. ”

Qiu Chen nodded with a smile, and Chen said with a smile beside him: "Madam, it's windy here, and the second uncle is tired from running all the way, so it's better to let the second uncle go to the guest room to wash up, and then talk slowly." ”

Yang Shumeng looked at Chengzi with relief and joy in his eyes, just like looking at his own child, and said with a smile: "I have lost it to him in the past two years." Otherwise, there are two workshops in Zhuangzi and the lake, and things are getting more and more year by year, how can my eldest brother and I manage it! ”

Although Junwen is older, he was surpassed by Junshu by half a head, and Chengzi's tall figure should also surpass Junwen, similar to Junshu. With a modern unit, Qiu Chen estimated that he was in his early eights...... 1.8 meters is not particularly tall in modern times, but in this era of lack of nutrition, most men are less than 1.7 meters in the background, and being able to reach 1.8 meters is definitely considered a tall person. There are also a few top-notch fierce guards like Qin Li and Qin Yong who are on the 1.70 meter line, and there are also a few who are 1.8 meters tall, which should be less than half of the proportion.

"Naruko? Hurry up, hurry up! Ah, this child, who hasn't seen him for two years, has grown into an adult! This size ......" Qiu Chen said and turned his head to look at Yang Shumeng next to him, and said with a smile, "Chengzi's size is far more than that of the second brother...... It's estimated to be about the same size as Junshu! ”

Qiu Chen stared at the young man kneeling in front of him, and saw that the young man was wearing an indigo three-shuttle cotton robe, a bachelor's square scarf of the same color on his head, his eyebrows were delicate, the bridge of his nose was handsome, and his brown eyes were as warm as jade, revealing a touch of joy in his calm and peacefulness. If you only look at your appearance, you are only a handsome young man at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but this calm, deep and gentle, but some young people are old, and they look far deeper and more introverted than their age.

Daxing left, a tall and thin young man, wearing an indigo triangular cotton robe, strode forward, arched his hand is a long stroke, and then picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground: "Boy, meet Madame!" Greetings to Madame! ”

Qingxing bent her knees, stepped forward with a smile, led Daxing to resign, and went to Yufeng's house across the courtyard.

After laughing for a while, Qiu Chen instructed Qingxing: "You don't have to follow, send your Uncle Daxing to Yufeng's house." I haven't seen you for a long time, you take care of Yufeng, don't let her hurt her body too happily. ”

Qin Li also fanned the flames beside him and said: "Qin Yong's kid's tail has been cocked to the sky, he really can't clean it up, Uncle Daxing, you don't have to show mercy!" ”

Without waiting for Daxing to reply, Yang Shumeng hugged Brother Yun next to him and said with a smile: "If you don't pick on it, you don't pick on it, you have to hold it a little, our good girl gave it to him, and seeing that he is going to add Ding to him again, he should respect the old father-in-law!" ”

The light-hearted joke of this remark caused everyone to laugh.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "I specially instructed people, but I didn't let you tell Yufeng." She didn't know you were coming, and she made Yufeng happy and happy to go in. Your son-in-law followed the Hou Ye to the Yamen, and I don't know it, you are the old father-in-law, don't mess with the son-in-law! ”

Daxing only has a son and a daughter, and his daughter Yufeng served Qiu Chen, followed him into Beijing, and married Qin Yong. After two years of marriage, there was no movement, Daxing and his wife were inevitably worried, and now they are pregnant, and they are about to give birth, and the father is inevitably worried about the safety of his daughter...... After listening to Qiu Chen's words, he was naturally impressed and warm, and thanked him for a long time.

Daxing also followed closely at this time, kneeling down in front of Qiu Chen's sedan chair a few steps away and saluting, Qiu Chen hurriedly raised his hand to signal Qin Li to support him, and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for you this year...... Yufeng is also going to be confined, you must be more concerned about her, you don't need to come in at this time, go to see the girl first, rest for one night, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

Brother Yun was still a little unhappy, but he nodded again and again.

Seeing Brother Yun'er's smiling face cold, full of disappointment, a layer of mist welled up in his eyes, and tears bloomed, Yang Shumeng hurriedly said: "Don't cry, after the New Year, the second uncle will send your little cousin to you and let him play with you!" ”

"I see!" Yang Shumeng smiled suddenly, stepped forward and hugged Brother Yun from the sedan chair, saved a few heights, and made Brother Yun laugh once, then smiled, "I knew I would have taken you to your little cousin, and when he came, he didn't grind a lot...... It's just that it's too cold, and his grandparents are not at ease, so they don't let him take it. ”

Yang Shumeng looked at Qiu Chen with some doubts, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Junli and Junyan Junzhang are both old, and they can't play with him, he knows that there is a Junyi little cousin at home, and he knows that you are here, so he wonders if his little cousin is here." ”

"Second Uncle ......" Brother Yun has often been taken out by Qin Xiuyi to visit and socialize since he played for a few months, and he didn't dare to say anything else, and it was not bad to welcome Aman, who was more lively and generous than Shang. Seeing Yang Shumeng, he didn't recognize his life, so he shouted happily, and then poked his head to look behind Yang Shumeng, "Second uncle, where is the little cousin?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, while prompting Brother Yun: "Don't call the second uncle yet!" ”

"Sister! …… Is this Brother Yun? When Yang Shumeng saw Qiu Chen's warm sedan chair, he jumped directly from the carriage and walked up quickly across the carriage.

Qiu Chen also lifted the sedan curtain and shouted with a smile: "Second brother! ”

However, Qiu Chen's eyes turned, and he saw Yang Shumeng himself, and he didn't see any children in the carriage, so he knew that Junyi didn't follow, and Brother Yun had to be disappointed.

They greeted them all the way to the second gate, and saw a carriage clattering in from the corner gate, and the carriage headed by it was hung with a green tweed carport, but the curtain was raised high and put on the roof of the car, and on the wheel sat a forty Xu ochre-robed man, who was Zhao Jiu. And a red face also poked out of the carriage behind Zhao Jiu, it was none other than the second uncle Yang Shumeng that Brother Yun was looking forward to.

Brother Yun naturally nodded unequivocally. Qiu Chen asked him for his pearl skin robe to wear, put on a fur hat, scarf, and gloves, and was fully armed, so he took Brother Yun'er's little hand and went out all the way, took a warm sedan chair at the gate of Mu'en Courtyard, and went to the second gate together.

Leaning over and touching Brother Yun'er's brain, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "I didn't say it, and my mother didn't know either." Your second uncle will arrive at the sight, and you will go out with your mother, and you will naturally know when you see your second uncle. ”

Qiu Chen was also funny, she didn't tell her son that Junyi was coming, and she didn't know how her son recognized Junyi's little cousin and followed him into Beijing.

Junyan Junzhang is old, and even Xiao Junli is nine years old, so he can't play with Brother Yun. He heard his mother say that the second uncle's little cousin Junyi was only four and a half years old, the same age as him, and he had not yet gone to school, if he could enter Beijing, he would be able to play together.

Brother Yun followed Qiu Chen's feet, and when he heard the report, he also asked happily, "Second uncle has arrived?" Did you bring your little cousin? ”

Qiu Chen received the letter, naturally overjoyed, and sent Zhao Jiu and Qin Li to Tongzhou to pick it up, and when it was close to evening, the news came in, saying that the second uncle had entered the city, and it was estimated that he would be home in half an hour.

Approaching the end of the winter month, the harvest accounts of the four big Zhuangzi and Nanmar Lake in Anyang were sorted out, and Yang Shumeng took Daxing into Beijing to report the accounts and send the New Year's goods.

Since Qiu Chen talked to Junwen that time, Qiu Chen has never talked to Junwen about marriage. is no different from Wang Jingshu, as always as a sister. Qiu Chen also hopes that after Junwen Junshu's study tour, he has increased his knowledge, enriched his experience, and broadened his horizons, so that he can see things more open-mindedly and be able to afford to let go. I hope that after the brothers try their best to work hard, they will be able to gain fame, shine on the lintel, and have a bright future. As for whether you can marry Wang Jingshu, don't be too persistent...... After all, there are too many differences between the two families, and she does not refute Junwen, but she is not blindly optimistic.

From the letter, it can be seen that the two children have broadened their minds and increased their knowledge...... Of course, knowledge has also increased significantly, after all, some knowledge can not be fully understood just by reading books, and only by seeing, experiencing, and feeling can we understand and perceive.

Of course, Junwen knew that his aunt and son were safe before he left Beijing, and later received a letter from home, saying that his aunt's physical recovery was very smooth, and his little cousin and little cousin were also healthy. Instead, let go of the mood, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains, and concentrate on traveling and learning.

Compared with Lin Xu, who went north, the journey of the two brothers Junwen and Junshu was obviously much more relaxed and comfortable, because they were traveling all the way south, and when they wrote the letter, they had just visited the vast Dongting Lake, and appreciated the vast and majestic "Dongting looks at the Chu River in the west, and the water ends in the south and the sky does not see the clouds".

Maybe it's the New Year, and there are more letters. The day after receiving Liao Wenqing's letter, Qiu Chen received another letter from Junwen Junshu.

Seeing Liao Wenqing's letter, Qiu Chen inevitably remembered again, now that it is really the ninth cold day, the coldest season of the year, Lin Xu and the Guo family's uncle and nephew don't know where they went, I don't know if it is safe or not.

Lin Xu also wrote back before, wrote back in Liaodi, wrote back when he arrived in Huairong Town, and brought a lot of good leather goods back to Qiu Chen and the children. Since leaving Huairong Town and entering the desert, due to inconvenient transportation and fewer caravans, Lin Xu has not heard from him......

In August, the snow flies, and in October, the road is closed when the snow falls, and the vast desert is boundless, and there is no road at all. Bitter cold, strong winds, blizzards, and hungry wolves...... can become a killer of passers-by.

Lin Xu's study tour this time was to the north, and Liao Wenqing's letter also mentioned it, saying that Lin Xu had been in Liaodi for a month, and went to Helin in early October.
