Chapter 205 Letter
Qiu Chen didn't answer, and pointed to himself in surprise: "For me?" ”
Qin Li didn't answer directly, but only sent the letter in his hand up again, and shouted: "Madame will know after reading the letter." ”
Qiu Chen looked at Qin Li, and then at the letter that was almost delivered to her face, not in an envelope she was familiar with, but in a small and delicate bamboo tube...... It's like her little bamboo pipe with a fuse.
After a slight pause, he reached out and took it. She thought that after her rude behavior that day, there would be no more contact, although Qin Li and the others stayed, she only thought that it was Qin Zheng's principle of 'starting and ending', but she really didn't expect that Qin Zheng would write to her...... I just don't know what the letter says.
Holding the letter and flipping it over, Qiu Chen said, "Xiexie you." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Li to reply, Qiu Chen turned around and walked to the backyard. Qin Li opened his mouth and was stunned, watching Qiu Chen's figure disappear into the corridor before he closed his mouth, swallowed his saliva, and exhaled.
Qin Yong silently paced out from under the corridor of the South House, leaned to Qin Li's side, and said blankly: "This ...... How do I reply to my grandfather? ”
Qin Li didn't even look at him, shook his hand and said, "Master is going to reply?" ”
"Well, no...... But ......, "However, in the past, if the Hou Ye had any instructions, the people who got the orders always had to respond, and this became the 'rules' that they consciously identified......
Qin Li glanced at Qin Yong, who was stunned, raised his hand to pat Qin Yong's shoulder, pushed him and said, "Okay, Madame's business, it's not for us to manage!" "--Let me have a headache!
Qin Yong nodded innocently, Qin Li pushed him with a smile, and said briskly: "Let's go, Mrs. is back tonight, and the food can be improved." You don't know my brother's suffering, Madame is not at home these days, and the meal is really tasteless......"
In fact, Qiu Chen is at home, and the main cooks are also the Daxing family and the Wang family, but Qiu Chen is more particular about the matching of recipes, not simply the accumulation of meat dishes, but also some refreshing cold dishes. Even if it is a meat dish, I will try to make it not greasy, which will naturally make people more appetizing.
What is rare is that there are still two baskets of clams left in yesterday's seafood. This kind of shellfish can live for a few days as long as it is kept at a certain humidity and does not get touched with fresh water, when the weather is not too hot. This is also one of the seafood that can be transported over long distances in this era.
Ah Man, who had just made a lot of crying, came back from his brothers' evening practice and saw Qiu Chen accompanying Liu to peel clam meat in the yard. Junyan Junzhang ran up for the first time, asking curiously, Qiu Chen casually stuffed a clam meat into the mouths of the two children, Ah Fu took two steps, and noticed that his sister, who was moving very slowly, came back very delicately and took Ah Man's hand, and walked to his mother together.
"Mother, what is this?" Because of the scarcity of seafood, children have never seen clams, or flowery clams, they are all strange and fresh, these small clamshells that are not much bigger than human fingernails, in the eyes of children, even more attractive than clams.
After tasting a grain of plain clam meat, Junyan Junzhang fiddled with a pile of clam shells on the ground.
Qiu Chen wiped his hands with a handkerchief and reached out to take the two children into his arms. Qing Xing handed over two small benches with a very good look and asked Ah Fu Aman to sit, and Qiu Chen taught Ah Fu Aman to peel the clam meat.
Aman was a little awkward at first, his small body was slightly stiff, and his small mouth was also pouting and refusing to speak, but after a while, after peeling out a few complete clam meat, and after being praised by Qiu Chen and his brother, he unconsciously relaxed, leaned intimately in Qiu Chen's arms, picked out his favorite pattern from a large pile of clam shells, and raised it in front of Qiu Chen's eyes: "Mother, look, does this look like an ingot?" This one is like a...... This one is like a mountain...... This one is like a tree......"
Qiu Chen was peeling the clam meat while admiring the beauty that Aman had discovered, and he turned his head to Liu's smiling gaze and smiled silently. The child's temper came and went quickly, just howling and crying, and committing a little awkwardness, and then the rain and the sky were sunny again.
Qiu Chen learned the lesson in Anyang, did not blindly pursue the freshness, but appropriately changed the practice, blanched the clams with boiling water, the clam shell opened, and then peeled out the clam meat, took a part of the eggs and leeks and fried quickly, the fried clam eggs are delicious and fragrant, and the most important thing is that a little sea smell is also made fresh and fragrant by leeks, so that people who are not used to eating seafood can also eat praise; The soup of the clams should not be thrown away, and the soup of the clams is a faint milky white. Take the green onion and ginger in the pot, add the clam soup to boil, put in the gnocchi made of flour, put in the clam meat after boiling, then add a little chives or chopped coriander, a few drops of sesame oil, and a pot of delicious seafood gnocchi soup can be out of the pot. Seafood gnocchi soup is both a soup dish and a staple food, and the delicious one makes people drink bowl after bowl and are reluctant to stop.
After eating a delicious clam meat feast, Qiu Chen took Aman Afu and Junyan Junzhang a few times, lit a dozen candles on the kang, illuminated them brightly, brought a pot of clam shells, and each chose his favorite color. At first, the children grabbed it with their little hands, but gradually they picked it up more, and the little hands soon couldn't grasp it, so Qiu Chen gave a small basket to make a holding tool for the children.
After the selection was finished, he took the children to clean up the remaining clam meat, cleaned it, and then carefully dried it on the bamboo baskets.
My aunt said that these shells can be made into beautiful paintings! It can also be glued into puppies, pigs and many other gadgets......
Playing until late at night, Afu Aman fell asleep in the poignant episode of 'Daughter of the Sea'. Qiu Chen's kiss only relied on Aman in her arms, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and even more distressed. The sound of wailing and crying still seemed to echo in her ears...... The child trusts and relies on her so much, and the way she dealt with it just now is still a little rough.
In a daze, he fell asleep with Aman's fleshy little body. When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright daylight.
The children got up to go to the morning exercise, and Qiu Chen also got up.
The morning breeze in mid-March was still a little cool, and Qiu Chen waited for the children to go out for a while before walking out of the house.
The weeping willows by the pond in front of the door have spit out their buds, and after the season of flying in the sky, only the silky soft willows remain, dressed in a little new green, like a curtain, swaying slightly on the water's edge.
The sun had not yet risen, and the village houses were hidden in the green or goose yellow, and no human voices could be heard, but the early ploughing cows could be heard, and the chickens and dogs could smell each other.
Taking a deep breath of cool but fresh air, Qiu Chen unconsciously stretched his arms, moved his body, walked slowly along the pond, crossed the school to the east, and came to the playground, where he saw the children waving their fists and kicking their legs one by one, and they had already practiced boxing. And Pan Jiaqing stood on the edge of the playground with her hands in her hands, looking at the children in the playground.
Qiu Chen and Pan Jiaqing greeted each other, and they watched the boxing children talk together.
Before Qiu Chen could speak, Pan Jiaqing said to Qiu Chen: "Madam, I heard that Lin Xu has entered the door of Master Guo, which is really gratifying!" ”
Qiu Chen thanked him with a smile, and asked again: "Mr. Pan ...... this year"
Pan Jiaqing smiled and shook her head: "My father died in the autumn of the year before last, and it will take a year and a half to take ......."
Qiu Chen was slightly embarrassed, she was still a little confused about these rules.
After being speechless and embarrassed for a short time, Qiu Chen turned to smile and said: "Mr. Pan has also been a precipitation process in the past few years, I believe that when Mr. Pan is removed from the service, he will be able to accumulate thick and thin, and he will be a blockbuster!" ”
Pan Jiaqing smiled very gently and thanked her.
Qiu Chen talked about his plan to win a holiday for the children, and originally thought that Pan Jiaqing would be more difficult to accept, but he didn't expect Pan Jiaqing to be only slightly surprised, so he readily agreed: "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, this is what Mrs. thinks about for the children!" ”
With Pan Jiaqing's approval, Qiu Chen was very encouraged, and discussed the length of the vacation with Pan Jiaqing, and invited Pan Jiaqing to travel with him, Pan Jiaqing didn't even hesitate this time, and directly agreed.
After successfully negotiating the child's vacation, Qiu Chen stopped staying and resigned from Pan Jiaqing to go home.
A hundred years later, Qiu Chen began to think about all kinds of things to travel. When he walked to the door of the school, a woman suddenly walked out, Qiu Chen was startled, stabilized, and saw clearly that it was Pan Jiaqing's mother who came out, holding a basin in her hand, and saw Qiu Chen with a smile on her face, and greeted Qiu Chen.
"Lin Niangzi, when did you come back?"
"Old lady early!" Qiu Chen came to his senses and said with a smile: "I came back last evening." Mrs. Pan is this going to fetch water? You're busy, so I won't bother you. ”
As he spoke, bending his knees slightly, Qiu Chen left Pan's mother and went straight home.
This old lady, who didn't know her attitude towards her because of Weishenme, suddenly made a 180-degree turn from the initial full defense, and suddenly became extremely affectionate, and even flattered. Let Qiu Chen always run away.
As soon as breakfast was over, Lan Ying and the Qingshan family came over. I haven't seen him for many days, so I rushed over to say hello and talk to Qiu Chen. A group of women talked casually together, heartily, without the slightest estrangement due to the change of identity, which made Qiu Chen feel extra cordial and relaxed.
After a few words, it was time for the workshop to start. Qiu Chen followed everyone to the East Cross Courtyard. The helpers here all greeted Qiu Chen one after another, and Qiu Chen also responded with a smile on his face. The smiling faces and greetings are actually similar to those in the workshop of Anyang Mansion, but inexplicably make Qiu Chen feel much closer.
After returning home, Qiu Chen's whole pace of life slowed down, and his mood was extremely relaxed.
All morning, she was in the East Cross Courtyard, saw the workmanship in each shed, and was in the kitchen, talking to Lan Ying Qingshan's family, while helping them pick vegetables, waiting for the sun to rise in the sky, close to noon, the meals in the big kitchen were basically ready, she resigned from everyone and turned back from the East Cross Courtyard.
Walking out of the gate of the East Courtyard, Qiu Chen met Qin Yong and Shen Hu head-on, both of them saw Qiu Chen's eyes lit up, and after greeting her, they looked at her with bright eyes, full of infinite anticipation. After seeing that Qiu Chen didn't react, the eyes of the two people, especially Qin Yong, showed infinite resentment, looking at Qiu Chen's hairs standing on end, panicked!
"Brother Qin Yong, is there something wrong with you?" Qiu Chen asked cautiously.
Qin Yong pursed his lips, as if he was about to swallow the resentment in his heart, before asking, "Madam, don't you reply to the Hou Ye?" ”
Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "It's okay...... Well, I'm not very good at writing, think about it and write again. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand very weakly, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and fled back to the backyard.
She couldn't help but be weak-hearted, she got such an important letter from the Hou Ye last night, and she didn't know where to throw it away. She didn't even look at it, so what kind of reply did she talk about?
Entering the backyard, Qiu Chen pouted as he walked into the house. It is estimated that the marquis will return to the capital to say hello and report peace, and what else do you need to reply!
Qiu Chen didn't dare to make a noise when he returned to the house, he searched the house with his head stuffy, but found nothing, he was about to wash the dust on his hands, and then called Yufeng to come over and ask, as soon as he turned around, he felt a hot and soft touch under his feet, and she pushed with her legs helplessly: "Yuanbao, don't make trouble, I'm busy, I don't have time to play with you......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, Qiu Chen saw that Yuan Bao was holding a light bamboo cyan thing in his mouth, which one was not Qin Zheng's letter!
"Hey, Yuanbao, did you find it for me?" Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to pick up the small bamboo pipe, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he became infinitely happy, "Ouch, Yuanbao is so smart, you know how to help me find something!" Well...... Good ......"
hugged Yuanbao's fluffy head and rubbed it, and took a piece of jerky and stuffed it into Yuanbao's mouth: "Good, you eat first, I'll take you to play after reading the letter!" ”
Patting Yuanbao's head, Qiu Chen took the scissors to remove the fire paint on the bamboo tube, and then pulled out a paper tube from the bamboo tube, slowly unfolded it, and looked at it.
Without reading a few words, Qiu Chen jumped up from the kang! In Yuanbao's blank gaze, he rushed straight out.
rushed straight to the courtyard and rushed directly to the wing where Qin Yong and Qin Li lived. Qin Li and Qin Yong were talking crookedly on the kang, because the weather was getting hotter, and they didn't wear the long clothes outside, as soon as they saw Qiu Chen rushing in, they panicked, and hurriedly pulled the long clothes and put them on their bodies, and the long clothes here were not put on, so they heard Qiu Chen ask anxiously: "What did you Hou Ye do, why did you tear the wound again?" Serious or not? ”
Qin Li was stunned and then came to his senses, while Qin Yong stared at Qiu Chen with a blank and stunned expression, completely confused.
Qin Li arched his hand and said respectfully to Qiu Chen: "Madam, we only know that the Hou Ye's wound is torn, but we don't know what the specific situation is...... That, didn't you mention it in the letter that Master Hou gave you? ”
Qiu Chen also calmed down a little at this time, but when Qin Li asked, he remembered that he hadn't finished reading the letter at all, and when he saw Qin Zheng's wound, he rushed over to inquire about the situation.
"Forget it, your Hou Ye's body is his own, he doesn't know how to cherish it, and no one can ...... it" The words didn't seem to be finished, Qiu Chen turned around and left without a head as when he came.
Qin Yong still didn't quite understand, poked Qin Li in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "This, what's wrong?" ”
Qin Li glanced at him and shook his head in the same distress.
Looking at the anxious appearance just now, this lady should be thinking about Master Hou. But he turned around and walked away...... Is this a concern, or is it not a concern?
Back in the backyard, Qiu Chen patted his head in annoyance, why did he rush over in a hurry? She always forgets the rules of this shijie, and the status of a 'widow' like her can't express her concern for a man so bluntly!
Shaking his head and putting his frustration away, Qiu Chen continued to look at the letter in his hand. It's a pity that Qin Zheng just mentioned his injury, and a few words later, he explained that the master who had arranged for Aman went out to travel, but he hadn't found it yet, so Qiu Chen could leave Qin Li here with peace of mind. I didn't even mention the wound again!
Grinding his teeth, Qiu Chen snorted. After thinking about it, I was relieved.
That person's injury shouldn't be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have left Qin Li here!
If you want to open it, you will throw it away, or Qiu Chen forced himself to throw it away.
Speaking of which, he didn't have a deep relationship with that Hou Ye, that is, Qin Zheng stayed a little longer in Liujiaao to recuperate from his injuries and became more familiar. This kind of relationship, and I am this kind of identity, it is not appropriate to be too concerned, well, write a letter to say hello, and then bring a few anti-inflammatory and antibacterial pills to the past, it is enough.
After paying attention, Qiu Chen said that he would do it, and at that time he laid paper and polished ink, and replied to a letter more briefly than Qin Zheng: "The letter has been received, and the situation is known." Enclosed with the letter are several pills, please check with Lang Zhong to see if they are suitable. ”
After writing this, there was nothing more to say, so I simply stopped there, dried the ink, made it into a paper roll and stuffed it into the bamboo tube again, sealed the fire paint, took out a few boxes of pills, made it into a very small burden, called Yufeng, and asked her to send it to the front yard.
Yufeng left, Qiu Chen held the fragrant tea sent by Qingxing, and slowly sipped it, but he was thinking about it in his heart. Qin Zheng went out of Beijing to heal his wounds in order to avoid the wind and waves in the court, and this time he returned to Beijing for such a short time, and once again tore his wounds...... Could it be that it is still to avoid the wind and waves above the court?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very possible, and Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh. This Marquis of Jingbei was still too aggressive, and he was so sharp when he attacked Beirong...... If he hadn't made such an immortal achievement, he wouldn't have put himself on the cusp of that storm. It's really people who are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong!
Soon, the children came back from school, Qiu Chen put aside these irrelevant worries, had lunch with the children happily, and played with the children for a while, and then sent the children to the school again.
After resting last night, I didn't want to take a nap today, Qiu Chen waited for Liu to sleep, and she took Yufeng out of the house by herself.
She only went to a few neighbors with elderly people when she came back last night, and she hadn't gone to see Erkui's little October yet! It's been more than a month, and the little girl is now five months old, so she should already know something, and it must be fun!
As soon as Qiu Chen walked out, Yuan Bao followed from the nest in the corner of the yard. Qiu Chen looked at the ingot, which was already bigger than the stupid dog in the village before he had grown his body, and shook his head helplessly. Isn't people's Tibetan mastiff very fierce and arrogant, how did he come to her and become such a cute seller? It is said that the golden mastiff is still the king of the wild mastiff!

I've written this for today, sorry! Tomorrow more yards to make up!

She pressed him under her and put her hand around his waist around the bath towel, as if if he dared to tear off her face towel, the only fig leaf under him would be torn off as well.
"Shameless!" The man gritted his teeth in anger.
