Chapter 274: Elopement
Chapter 274: eloped
Qiu Chen's illness came extremely vigorously, as the saying goes, 'the illness comes like a mountain', but the illness is not lingering, after taking Wen Lang's medicine to reduce the fever, there is no fever again, and then there is an old man Mu to take over the diagnosis and treatment, and he didn't even have a cough, and he got better smoothly, but in three days, Qiu Chen was already able to move around indoors, and he took a comfortable bath. It's just that she can't go out yet, because she sweated that night, and her body is still weak at this time, Chen and Yufeng resolutely refused to let her go out, for fear that she would suffer from the wind and cold again.
Feeling that her body had become strong again and her spirit was sufficient, Qiu Chen also obeyed the fact that she was under house arrest, and she couldn't go out, so she simply practiced calligraphy in the house.
Qiu Chen's words are originally more atmospheric, according to the words of the original classmates and teachers, it is not like a girl's words at all, not graceful at all, sharp edges and corners, wide open and closed, and the character determines that he can't write the flowing flow of calligraphy, let alone the elegant and bold cursive writing. Therefore, Qiu Chen chose regular script, a very basic face, which fits her character, of course, regular script is also the basis of calligraphy, if you can't write regular script, line script, cursive script are floating clouds.
At this time, he was refreshed and full of energy, the key was that he was under house arrest, he couldn't go anywhere, and there were no big and small things to bother, and there were no children by his side, Qiu Chen was a rare calm, calm down and practice calligraphy seriously, consciously grew a lot, and made a lot of progress, and he was really interested in writing, and the natural feeling gradually came up, and Qiu Chen's practice was more concentrated.
In this way, every day, eating the decoction prescribed by Old Man Mu, eating the exquisite meals made by Chen's heart, practicing calligraphy, and practicing calligraphy When she was tired, she read books, fiddled with a few pots of flowers in the house, and lived a peaceful and comfortable life, and all kinds of negative emotions such as worries and guilt were put away by her, and the whole person felt relaxed and calm.
Practicing calligraphy and reading is really a good way to calm people's minds.
Such a comfortable and peaceful life flies by, but such a leisurely and comfortable life is not destined to be enjoyed by Qiu Chen for a long time.
On this day, Qiu Chen had lunch, and it was customary to take a nap. When she got better, she was not used to sleeping in the house, so Yufeng waited for her to lie down, covered her with a quilt and retreated to the second room to do needlework. Qiu Chen usually sleeps for about an hour during his nap, but on this day, because he drank an extra bowl of soup for lunch, he only slept for half an hour and woke up. Moving his arm, Qiu Chen pushed away the quilt and just got up, when he heard the whispers of Yufeng and Shunzi's family coming in.
“…… How can the fifth lady be like this, now the wife doesn't know the way, and the wife doesn't know how to worry about the road! This is Yufeng's voice.
Junzi's family sighed: "Mrs. is so good to her, who knows what Lu Dao thinks, why did she run away secretly...... Master Li has told me not to leak it to my wife, and you can pay attention when you speak, don't bring it out......"
Then, it was Yufeng's continuous acceptance, and then, the two people outside the door changed the topic and talked in a low voice.
The comfort and laziness that had just woken up was completely gone, and Qiu Chen was lying in the warm quilt, but he felt that he was cold. Where did Lin Xianniang go? Looking like this, it was arranged a long time ago? It's a shame that she thought she was sensible all of a sudden and breathed a sigh of relief!
Now that I think about it, Lin Xianniang wants her husband, she wants to go to class, and then she wants to go home...... It's all a smoke bomb that confuses people, right? Letting her guard down, she chose the opportunity to walk away.
Lin Xianniang is gone, what about the two gentlemen who accompanied her? Will it already be ......
The body was stiff and cold, Qiu Chen's brain was running rapidly, and he thought about all the details before and after Lin Xianniang's departure, but he couldn't come up with the purpose of Lin Xianniang's departure.
Yes, Lin Xianniang's appearance is not bad, although she can't be called a country, she should have the degree of a city. Coupled with more than a year of maintenance, the once yellow and thin body and slightly rough skin have also become moist and delicate, as well as the clothes and jewelry that Qiu Chen bought for her, the whole person is just like a blooming flower, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
However, in this era, beauty is only a condition, relatively speaking, life experience, background, and status are also the primary conditions to be considered when marrying. Lin Xianniang just left, without any support, and her life experience became a mystery...... How can such a person marry into a high gate?
In addition, this is not modern, do not pay attention to what 'true love is priceless', nor do you pay attention to 'love first', this era pays attention to the 'right door', 'three media and six certificates', and pays attention to the 'parents' words and matchmakers', and there is an iron law, 'the one who hires is a wife and runs for a concubine', that is to say, the three media and six are hired to marry a wife, but the elopement can only be a concubine, whether you really love each other or not, and no matter how charming you are......
Lin Xianniang left secretly this time, if she followed a certain man, it would be considered an elopement, right? Could it be that all she seeks is to marry into a high family as a concubine? Do that kind of life of 'concubines and maids'?
Qiu Chen couldn't figure it out, she only felt that all her self-cultivation in the past few days had been in vain, and the irritability in her heart became more and more obvious, almost making her rush up and break something before she could vent!
Sensing that his emotions were wrong, Qiu Chen decisively put aside Lin Xianniang's worries, closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and tried his best to calm his emotions. After a while, Qiu Chen felt that the irritability in her heart had subsided, and she slowly opened her eyes, realizing that her expression could no longer see anything, so she got up.
Yufeng and Shunzi's family heard the voice, and hurriedly put down the work in their hands and walked in to serve.
Junzi's family took the hot water sent in by Chunxiang and sent it into the ear room, Yufeng had already served Qiu Chen to put on cotton clothes and pants, and shoes, and walked into the ear room to freshen up.
After washing up and walking out of the ear room, Qiu Chen sat in front of the dressing table, combed her hair by Yufeng, and then told Shunzi's family with a smile: "Go and call Master Li to come over, I have something for him to do." ”
The Shunzi family was looking at the slightly pale face in the mirror, and was stunned when he heard Qiu Chen's command, and subconsciously glanced at Yufeng, the two of them were a little surprised when they met, and then looked at Qiu Chen's face, his eyebrows and eyes were soft and calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, except that his face was slightly paler, there was nothing else wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and promised, Shunzi's family hurriedly withdrew from the Lu and went to the front yard to pass the word.
"Madam, what kind of hairstyle?" Yufeng asked nervously.
Somehow, she just felt that Mrs. Tonight was too quiet. These days, my wife is in a good mood, often laughing constantly, and sometimes joking with them. When I got up for lunch break today, although my wife looked at it with a smile, she only gave one word and never said anything, which made Yufeng confused, worried, and a little confused.
The smile on Qiu Chen's face was a little stiff, and when he heard Yufeng's inquiry, he was slightly stunned, then he raised his eyes, glanced at Yufeng through the mirror, and said lightly: "Don't bother thinking about it, just just keep it in the back of your head." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, pulled out a red gold phoenix tail hairpin from the makeup box, and when Yufeng twisted her long hair into a bun at the back of her head, she put the golden hairpin on it and closed the bun.
Standing up from the dressing table, Qiu Chen instructed Yufeng to take a short jacket embroidered with orchids in azure and wear it, tie an indigo Duofu pleated skirt, stand in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the almost white and transparent skin in the mirror, and the slender figure with a somewhat excessive figure, Qiu Chen took a breath silently and straightened his back.
Some things, some people, always make her unable to really relax and be comfortable, she has no way to escape, so she can only go head-on.
Qin Li came over. Qiu Chen waved away the jade phoenix and went straight in: "Where did Lin Xianniang go, you, you know the way, right?" ”
Qin Li looked up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. In this way, he quickly regained his composure, the smile on his face disappeared, and he nodded, "Yes." ”
He just admitted himself...... admitted that Qin Zheng knew the Dao, but did not say it specifically. Qiu Chen didn't ask, only asked: "What about the two gentlemen and the embroidery girl?" ”
Qin Li replied frankly: "The two gentlemen are not in the same car, they have already arrived in Liujiaao and entered a private school to teach. Embroidery girl, just ...... in the car of the fifth lady"
After a pause, seeing that Qiu Chen's face was much more relaxed, Qin Li continued: "If there is no mistake, then the embroidery girl should be the one who delivers the news." ”
The corners of Qiu Chen's mouth twitched, and she said, how can it be so easy to find an embroidery girl, the embroidery girl who was found back to the family before Daxing happened to catch up with the original Wei County order in Pi County to send and sell the servants, and there was a change of officials to send the servants to sell, this time, it was so smooth to find the embroidery master for Lin Xianniang, at that time she just thought it was too coincidental, but she didn't expect that the original people had already dug the pit, just waiting for her to jump down stupidly.
It's a shame that she still tries her best to maintain this non-existent sister-in-law relationship, and she still tries her best to have a clear conscience...... Well, people don't care if you're ashamed or not, they use you thoroughly and cleanly, without the slightest hesitation or forbearance.
The irritability in Qiu Chen's heart surged up again. She wants to drop things, she wants to curse!
It's just that the upbringing of two lifetimes adds up to make her have no face to do this. It's her who doesn't know anyone, it's her self-righteousness, it's her ...... Do it yourself!
She was dug a pit and completely used up, and she had to go back to explain to Mrs. Lin...... She also wanted to open it, so she simply got single, she would go and explain it to Mrs. Lin, as for whether she could accept it or not, whether she could understand it, she ignored it, and she didn't want to bother thinking about it anymore.
It is best for Mrs. Lin to accept and understand, otherwise, she will not bother to maintain it in the future. Lin Xu wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors...... Let him live, even if he lives next to each other, it is limited to the relationship between neighbors!
Qin Li looked at Qiu Chen sitting on the couch, his face was pale and red, his eyes were shining, but there was no trace of joy, he was no stranger to that shining light, he had seen it in the eyes of countless soldiers, it was a surging battle intent, and even a cold killing intent...... The fighting intent is very strong, but after all, it is not a soldier who has been on countless battlefields and experienced countless battles, what is in Qiu Chen's eyes is not so much killing intent as evil spirit, cold and decisive.
Lower your eyes and hide the sigh in your eyes.
Mrs. has a heart-warming nature, although Miss Fifth is not a real sister-in-law, Mrs. has never wronged her in the slightest, and is even much better than most sisters-in-law who treat her sister-in-law. The fifth lady did such a thing, and it was no wonder that the lady was angry and angry.
Qin Li was waiting for Qiu Chen to lose his temper, and even, he hoped that his wife would be able to release the anger in his heart. The reason why this matter has been concealed is of course for the sake of involvement, but more for the sake of the lady's body. Old man Mu said that his wife was injured by her feelings, and she was weak inside, so she was most taboo to be angry and sad...... But now that I know the way, it is natural to have a seizure, so that I will not hold it in my heart and hurt my body.
It's just that Qiu Chen's reaction was very calm, and the calmness made Qin Li both surprised and disappointed.
After Qiu Chen exhaled a few deep breaths, although his mind was still unstable, his face was much calmer, and after that, he lightly ordered: "Go and ask Uncle Mu, can I go out now?" I want to go back to Liujiaao, go back, you go to the West Courtyard with me, and explain what you know to Mrs. Lin what you can say. ”
Qin Li was stunned, and then responded obediently, and seeing that Qiu Chen had no more orders, he bowed down and retreated.
Madame is always so reserved...... Such a lady is indeed extraordinary, and only such a lady is most worthy of Hou Ye...... However, Qin Li hopes that his wife can have a seizure like an ordinary woman, or cry bitterly, or scold once...... In that way, it will not let the emotions become depressed in the chest, and let the already injured body be injured and injured.
Alas, this is not something he can control. It would be nice if Master Hou was here. He doesn't have to worry about Madame's affairs, and Master Hou will naturally take care of it.
As a result, as soon as Qin Li went to tell Old Man Mu, the old man rolled his eyes with disdain and said, "It's just that if you get caught in the cold, you can come out and walk around a long time ago." That is, those women, chirping crookedly......"
Qin Li choked in his throat in one breath, blinked his eyes, looked at the smug old man Mu in the vernacular, with a look of disdain, he swallowed his saliva, decided not to bother with this old man, and turned to reply.
Old man Mu didn't finish his complaint, the obedient person was gone, he was stunned for a moment, scolded a few times hatefully, and simply turned back to study what Qiu Chen said.
This 'drop pill' can be directly put in the mouth to dissolve, which can retain the medicinal oil and grease components in the medicinal materials to the greatest extent, and I heard Qiu Chen say that when it is contained in the mouth, the medicine takes effect much faster than the usual swallowing, which is undoubtedly very important for some acute attacks. If the effect of the drug is too slow, the drug cannot play a role, the person has already burped, and the drug compatibility formula is useless.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Old Man Mu jumped up, and regardless of the fact that the stove for making dripping pills was still burning, he opened the door and rushed out.
Old man Mu lived in the guest room as soon as he entered the room, and when he rushed out, he saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, Qiu Chen and Yufeng were boarding the car, and Qin Li's stinky boy was standing on the side.
"Hey, you guys, if the old man doesn't come out, are you planning not to even say hello?!" Old man Mu rushed up with a shout, his unkempt beard, crooked and unkempt bun, and a sloppy clothes, he simply looked like an old beggar who came to the Lin family for the first time, and he jumped up and down, which made Qiu Chen, who was in a low mood, unable to hold back and show a smile. Others even bowed their heads or covered their mouths and snickered.
"You stinky boy, you owe a beating!" The old man Mu is not easy to start, but he doesn't have to shy away from the tall and strong Qin Li, and he almost slapped Qin Li under the carriage with a slap.
The crowd was amazed and laughed. Old man Mu didn't pick it, jumped on the wheel, and sat with Junzi.
When the carriage drove out of the gate of the forest house, Old Man Mu remembered to shout to the Shunzi family who saw him off: "The stove in my house is on fire......
Qiu Chen in the carriage sighed helplessly, this person who studied medical prescriptions is very smart, and it is said that the use of poison is also first-class, and even his kung fu is said to have reached the realm of supernatural powers...... Why are you always so nonsensical on weekdays? This is a real-life version of the old naughty boy!
If it weren't for Qiu Chen's knowledge that his surname was Mu and his name was famous, she would have asked if his name was Zhou Botong!
The car almost stepped out of the Anyang City Gate in the twilight, and before it arrived at Anping County, it was completely dark.
Qiu Chen leaned on the carriage, swaying slightly with the rhythm of the vehicle, without the slightest sleepiness. Chen and Yufeng had already dozed off leaning on the carriage, and since she was sick, they had been serving her diligently, and her body was getting better day by day, but Chen and Yufeng were very tired.
Outside the car, Old Man Mu suddenly sang a song, his slightly hoarse voice revealed the vicissitudes and falls, but it was unexpectedly infectious, Qiu Chen listened to it, and actually immersed himself in it, as if he saw the alpine jungle and the snow-capped mountain and the pure lake...... There is also a paradise in the mountains, people who live in seclusion and are happy and peaceful......
In fact, Old Man Mu used a minority language or dialect, and Qiu Chen couldn't understand what he was singing, but the tune moved her.
Perhaps he was infected by Old Man Mu, and after Old Man Mu finished singing, Qin Li also sang after him. The song sung by Old Man Mu is mysterious and tactful, but the song sung by Qin Li is more like a Mongolian long tune, melodious and bright, and with the majesty and majesty of some military songs, in the empty night, there is a special taste.
In the ugly time, Qiu Chen and his party arrived at Liujiaao.
Qin Li stepped forward to call the person on duty at the porter, and the group entered the house.
Not long after the car stopped, Yang Shumeng walked out of the second courtyard wrapped in a big man. Seeing Yang Shu's sleepy but surprised and worried face, Qiu Chen realized that he was a little willful. I came back from the journey in the middle of the night, and I didn't say anything about the entourage, and my family didn't know how to worry!
"Begonia? What happened? Yang Shu helped Qiu Chen get out of the car, and asked in the first sentence.
Qiu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Second brother, it's really nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt homesick and came back in a hurry." ”
Yang Shumeng didn't believe it, pulled Qiu Chen into the light under the eaves, looked up and down carefully a few times, frowned and asked, "Why are you thin again?" Pale and not like words? Is it sick? ”
Before, Qin Li came back to find Old Man Mu to go to Anyang, and he didn't say that Qiu Chen was sick, but Qiu Chen had just recovered from a serious illness, and his face was naturally not good-looking, but he was still seen by Yang Shumeng at once. Although, the reason that aroused his suspicion was wrong.
Qiu Chen subconsciously touched his cheek and said with a smile: "Where, it's normal to be ugly when you rush overnight." ”
Yang Shumeng looked at it again, didn't ask any more, and frowned: "You go to my house to rest first...... My father and mother are old, and I am afraid that I will be frightened! ”
Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, "I'll just rest in this room for a while...... The second sister-in-law's body is sinking, so I still don't want to disturb her. ”
Yang Shu glared at Qiu Chen, but didn't say anything anymore, just immediately led Qiu Chen into the main house. The east room is dedicated to the holy decree and the seal, which is not easy to live in, and what Qiu Chen can live in is the Xili room.
Yufeng and Chen had already gotten out of the car and hurried into the Xili room, lighting a fire to burn the kang and laying out the bedding utensils. It's just that there has been no one living in the room for many days, and there is no fire, and the fire has just been lit at this time, but the kang and the room are very cold. Qiu Chen also sat in a cloak wrapped in Yang Shumeng's will, Yufeng and Chen quickly took hot water and waited for Qiu Chen to wash his hands and face.
Seeing that the face of the sister who had washed her face was better, although she was thin, her complexion was not particularly bad, her expression was quite calm, and there was nothing wrong, Yang Shumeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time he was busy, and the temperature of the room rose slightly, Qiu Chen took off the big fur cloak on his body, still wearing a big coat, and turned his face to Yang Shu and said fiercely: "Second brother, this time it's my sister who is wrong, she is willful." It's really nothing, you don't have to worry about me, go and rest, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow......"
Yang Shumeng didn't insist, got up but didn't leave immediately, but looked at Qiu Chen and said seriously: "Sister, our family used to be just a big car, and we were very proud when we were full and warm." Nowadays, our family has no worries about food and clothing, there are fields and land, and there are several workshops, and the children have also gone to school, and they are all studying hard...... That's already good, you don't have to think too much, according to the comparison, there are always better than us, that's not big...... The eldest brother and the second brother have no ability, so they can't help you much, don't push yourself too hard! ”
As he said this, Qiu Chen's nose rushed to a sourness, and he almost burst into tears. Blinking his eyes and hiding the mist in his eyes, Qiu Chen raised a smile on his face, looked at Yang Shu and said fiercely: "Second brother, I know what I said." Don't worry, I'm not going to push myself too hard. ”
Yang Shumeng looked at the thin sister in front of him, his skin was fair, but it was a little too white, and there was almost no blood. His skin was white, his eyes were extraordinarily large, and he looked at him with a smile on his eyes......
Once upon a time, the little sister who was red with a fat mouth and a pouting face, who loved to play petty, loved to be coquettish, and even loved to sue in front of her father and mother, gradually drifted away, although the sister in front of her was thin, but she was too tenacious, too smart, and too tolerant...... It's a lot better, but it doesn't seem to be as intimate as it used to be.
Raising a pair of big hands that were slightly rough, Yang Shumeng touched his sister's hair just like his sister did when she was a child, "Rest early, Ming'er doesn't have to get up early......"
Being touched like this...... Since her grandmother died, no one has ever done this to her, Qiu Chen's body stiffened, but fortunately, his reason was clear, so he didn't subconsciously dodge.
Hearing Yang Shumeng's instructions, Qiu Chen smiled, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
After all, after rushing to the road in the middle of the night, the temperature of the fire kang rose slightly, so Yufeng and Chen lit the futon and let Qiu Chen sleep. Yufeng and Chen couldn't go to the backyard to alarm the others at this time, so Qiu Chen let them sleep at the foot of the kang.
Although this is his own home, this kang has never slept...... Qiu Chen was slightly uncomfortable, but he still didn't resist the invasion of sleepiness and exhaustion, turned over twice, and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was already daylight. Turning his head, he saw that the two beds at the end of the kang had been cleaned up, and Yufeng and Chen had already gotten up.
The kang burned again, and the heat that was neither high nor low was baked up from under the body, making people feel comfortable all over the body, and they didn't want to move lazily. Qiu Chen stretched his body and lay flat in the quilt, his eyes wide open to see the snow-white ceiling slightly yellow...... This roof was pasted when the house was built last year, and after more than a year of fireworks, it has been stained with a pale yellow. It's the middle of winter now, and seeing that the Chinese New Year will be more than a month away, the wallpaper and ceiling in the house will be re-pasted. It has been almost two years since she came to this world, and she has gradually become calm, rational and confident from the initial resentment, confusion, confusion, and loss at the beginning......
Unexpectedly, Qiu Chen remembered Yang Shumeng's consolation last night, as Yang Shumeng said, today's life is much better than when he first arrived, but people are very strange animals, if they are poor, maybe they can still have a peaceful life, it's good to just think about making a living every day, really have a business, property, land, and even a certain social status, only to know that once a person takes a step, it means that there is no way to stop, and he wants to keep his current life, If she wants her family to be happy and safe in the future, she can't really indulge herself and live a leisurely life without asking about the world.
Sometimes, people just have to go on and on!
Sighing softly, Yufeng outside had already heard it, called "madam", and walked in with the curtain on the door.
"What time is it?" Qiu Chen didn't move, didn't even turn his eyes, still looked at the ceiling and asked lazily.
"My wife has slept well this night, and it is already in the middle of the day...... In the morning, seeing that Mrs. is sleeping deeply, Mama Chen will not disturb you......" Yufeng said as she put the home clothes Qiu Chen was going to wear on the smoker in the corner of the house.
Qiu Chen sighed noncommittally, and was stunned for a while, then stretched his arm out of the quilt, stretched his waist, and slowly sat up.
Yufeng carried a thin cotton jacket and quickly put it on Qiu Chen, waited for Qiu Chen to put on his sleeves, turned around and took the cotton pants over, and waited for Qiu Chen to wear them, and then it was time for the shoes to go down the kang.
After a good night's sleep, she sat in front of the mirror after washing, looking at the face of the person in the mirror had improved too much, Qiu Chen asked Yufeng to give her a bun, took a smooth mutton fat hosta and saved it, picked out a narrow sleeved straight jacket embroidered with white gardenia in lotus lotus and wore it, took a smoky purple cloak and put it on, took Yufeng out of the main house, called Qin Li who was talking to Qin Yong in the gatehouse, and went to the west courtyard together.
Old Mrs. Lin was not surprised to see Qiu Chen, and when she heard Qin Li say about Lin Xianniang's disappearance, her face turned slightly pale, but she was not angry, she just lowered her eyes and sighed long: "I know that the fifth girl of Lu Dao is a high-spirited ...... Alas! ”
Qiu Chen looked at Mrs. Lin, whose face was a little ugly, and said with some worry: "Old lady, how are you?" ”
Old Lady Lin raised her head, her expression was unexpectedly calm, if it weren't for the darkness in her pale face, Qiu Chen almost thought that Old Lady Lin didn't care about this matter at all.
Patting Qiu Chen's hand, Mrs. Lin said, "It's okay, don't worry, my old wife can live to this day, and I look forward to seeing my lord and a few brothers Zhaoxue one day......"
Hearing her say this, Qiu Chen felt that he couldn't answer, so he simply remained silent.
Old Madam Lin obviously didn't expect Qiu Chen to respond, her eyes squinted slightly in the air, and then said: "What happens to the five girls in the future, you don't have to pay attention to it, this is the path she picked herself, even if she falls and breaks her head and bleeds, she has to go down...... In the future, if you have the opportunity to see each other again, you don't have to do anything...... Well, don't let her affect your and Brother Xu'er's decision, you have done your best for her, and you have done a good enough. ”
Qiu Chen's words really surprised Qiu Chen, but after thinking about it a little, it was clear.
Lin Xianniang left privately this time, simply looking at it as willful, but looking deeper, she just didn't trust her and the two Lin families...... It's no wonder that Mrs. Lin said such words of complete abandonment.
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen basically had nothing to say, and comforted Mrs. Lin dryly, then got up to say goodbye, and took Yufeng and Qin Li back to the East Courtyard.
This came and went, it was almost noon, as soon as Qiu Chen entered the house, the children ran out of the gatehouse, Aman didn't look at the short legs, but he ran the fastest, rushed into Qiu Chen's arms like a locomotive, hugged Qiu Chen's neck and didn't let go.
"Man'er ......" Qiu Chen hugged his daughter with a smile, patted the coquettish little girl around her neck with her hand, and looked at Ah Fu who came up and stopped behind Ah Man.
"Mother, mother......" Aman was coquettish, leaning on Qiu Chen's neck with a small face, rubbing, and said softly, "Mother, will you come back this time and not leave again?" ”
Qiu Chen kissed Aman's cheek and comforted: "Mother will stay a few more days when she comes back this time...... When you have your annual leave, my mother will take you to see the lanterns, don't you want to go? ”
"Look at the lanterns? Man'er is going, he is going! Aman jumped up with his arms around Qiu Chen's neck.
Qiu Chen hugged her and kissed her again, and then said, "Man'er is going to tell grandpa and grandpa, okay?" ”
Aman immediately nodded, withdrew from Qiu Chen's arms, spread his two little short legs and rushed into the backyard.
Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to take Ah Fu, hugged him in his arms and kissed him. Ah Fu was slightly embarrassed and let Qiu Chen kiss him, and also reached out to hug Qiu Chen and kiss him.
And then there's the little boy. Since coming to Liujiaao, the little boy of Junli has been dressed the same as Ah Fu, and he has recognized a lot of words, and his original face is a little black and rough, but now it has become pink and greasy, and then Qiu Chen hugged him and kissed him on the pink little face, which made the little boy blush, and after breaking free, he turned his head and ran after Ah Man.
At this point, Qiu Chen was able to stand up, took Ah Fu with his left hand, raised his right hand to touch Junyan Junzhang's hair, and patted Junwen Junshu's arm...... Junyan Junzhang is okay, Junwen and Junli are a little taller, especially Junshu, when he didn't pay attention, he was actually a lot taller, it was only slightly taller than Qiu Chen, but now he is half a head taller...... Such two teenagers, wearing the same indigo straight robe, are handsome and gentle, and have a slight touch of greenness...... Just looking at it is eye-catching...... I'm so proud that such a wonderful child belongs to their family!
Junwen Junshu took Junyan Junzhang to greet him, and Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the family doesn't need so many courtesies!" ”
Bringing the children into the Sanjin Courtyard, Liu had already walked to the door with the support of Yang Shumeng, and when he saw Qiu Chen, he immediately greeted him, stretched out his hand to hold Qiu Chen's arm, and asked eagerly and worriedly, "Why did you come back at this time?" Is something wrong? ”
"Mother, what's the matter...... Qiu Chen held Liu's family, and while responding, he glanced at Yang Shumeng, and saw that the second brother was almost invisible and lowered his eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I arrived in Anping City yesterday, because of something, I couldn't rush back, so I stayed in Anping for one night, and I rushed back early this morning, but I arrived home at this time." ”
"Oh, oh, that's it...... I'm relieved that nothing happens. After listening to his daughter's explanation, Liu's explanation was reasonable, so he relieved himself, pulled Qiu Chen, and didn't let her see the courtesy, and went directly into the house. Hurry into the house, it's cold outside, and look at this hand like an ice cube. ”
Qiu Chen obediently let Liu pull into the door, and when he arrived in the west, he helped Liu and Yang Liancheng to sit on the kang, Qiu Chen still insisted on kneeling down and kowtowing to say goodbye, and then sat down and told Yufeng to get gifts for the children, and she accompanied the second elder to talk.
This trip back, although in a hurry, Anyang City had nothing to worry about temporarily, and Qiu Chen had just recovered from his illness, so he simply recuperated at home as he wished.
The next day, Liu bumped into Qiu Chen drinking medicine, and asked worriedly, Qiu Chen prevaricated with nourishment. Liu saw that Qiu Chen's spirit was not bad, so he didn't ask any more questions. Another day, Qin Li passed on the news of Shen Hu, saying that Lin Xu took Daxing and his party to appease the four Zhuangzi villagers, returned to Anyang, and after taking the examination of Fuxue, he returned to Liujiaao.
This is a big deal, Qiu Chen has actually been hanging on it, and when he heard these news, he was finally relieved. Hearing that Lin Xu was going to turn back, he instructed Qingxing to take the little girls to clean up Lin Xu's room, dry the house in advance, and take out the bedding to dry......
The winter sun is very good these days, and the bedding is dried for two days in a row, and the moisture is gone, and it is comfortable to cover it.
Moved out of Lin Xu's bedding to dry, and seeing the rare winter sun, Qiu Chen simply instructed the girls to move the bedding from each house to the backyard to dry. There were too many bedding, and a few clotheslines in the backyard were not enough, so I went to the warehouse of the East Cross Courtyard to get the shelves for drying medicine, and the whole backyard soon raised a colorful flag.
The children got out of school at noon, and they came to play with freshness, and Junyan Junzhang took Afu Aman and a group of little girls to get in and out of the futon, laughing together.
Qiu Chen stood at the back of the house, looking at the happy children, and couldn't help but sigh, when she was young, her grandmother dried the bedding, and she also loved to drill in the gap of the bedding.
In the afternoon, Qiu Chen was taking a group of girls to collect bedding in the backyard, and the word came in front of him that the uncle's wife was here!
