Chapter 258: Uncle and sister-in-law

Ah Fu didn't talk much, but Ah Man was a little talker, chirping and chattering with Qiu Chen about all kinds of interesting, shocking, and joyful things about a day's hunting.

“…… Daddy is amazing...... Well, a sharpshooter with a hundred shots! ”

"Daddy?" Qiu Chen's heart jumped, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly turned from Aman's body to Lin Xu.

Ah Fu tugged at Qiu Chen's sleeve beside him, a little shy and a little timid, and said, "Huyan...... Well, Uncle likes Fu'er and his sister very much, let's call him Daddy, a stepfather! Fu'er asked Master Yong, and Master Yong said that Uncle Huyan was very good, very brave, and a marksman...... Fu'er took her sister and agreed...... didn't ask the mother, Fu'er was wrong! It's none of my uncle's business! ”

Qiu Chen held his breath in his chest, and only spit out for a long time after a while, looking at Ah Fu with a somewhat complicated gaze, at this moment, I don't know what Lu Dao felt in his heart.

Lin Xu bowed down embarrassedly beside him and said, "Sister-in-law, it's my brother's fault, I didn't discuss it with my sister-in-law, my eldest ...... General Huyan likes Fu'er Man'er very much, and Fu'er Man'er also likes General Huyan, and General Huyan proposed to recognize the two children as righteous sons and daughters, and the younger brother did not stop him......"

Qiu Chen glanced at Lin Xu coldly, and said lightly: "That's it." It's just that in the future, when it comes to the matter of the sister-in-law, please don't make the decision again with the second brother! ”

"Yes, what my sister-in-law taught me is that the second brother wrote it down!" Lin Xu bowed in response.

Qiu Chen didn't even look at him, took Ah Fu over, held him in his arms, raised his eyes and commanded Chunxiang: "Set the meal!" ”

After a meal was silent, Lin Xianniang wanted to stir up the conversation several times to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately Qiu Chen only lowered his eyes to take care of the two children to eat, and he didn't take care of it at all, Lin Xu was also careful not to answer, Lin Xianniang's efforts could only be put to waste.

After dinner, Qiu Chen didn't leave the two of them to talk, and said lightly and directly: "I'm tired today, the fifth sister and the second brother should also go back and rest!" ”

Lin Xianniang immediately said goodbye with a smile and left, Lin Xu still wanted to stay and explain a few words, but saw Afu Aman's two children looking at each other, and called in a low voice: "Sister-in-law......"

Qiu Chen said lightly: "The second brother is also tired, if you have anything to say in the future, let's go and rest early!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and directly instructed Chunxiang Yuegui: "Prepare hot water, bathe Afu Aman, and go to bed early!" ”

Lin Xu stood awkwardly for a moment, and finally arched his hand and turned around.

Qiu Chen closed his eyes and exhaled softly.

She knew that she was a little angry, and it seemed a little too much to put her anger on Lin Xu's head, after all, Lin Xu and Hu Yanxun's brotherhood was very deep, and the people she relied on since childhood, such as father and brother, this relationship is deep...... It's not something that she can compare to a person with a foreign surname (an outsider).

Turning around, Hu Yanxun just said that he accepted the two children as righteous sons and daughters, and did not find out the relationship between them, which was already a good job. If she is replaced, she will recognize her as a righteous son and daughter in the face of her own biological children...... She wasn't sure if she could do such a thing.

Zhilu Dao was emotional, and Zhilu Dao was a little unreasonable, but Qiu Chen still couldn't make himself rational at this time.

Silently took the children to take a bath, and the two children also sensitively felt that their mother's emotions were wrong, and they were extremely quiet, even the little Aman, who loved to be spoiled, was quiet, very obedient and obedient, but occasionally the black eyes that looked over made Qiu Chen a little afraid to look at each other.

After washing the two children, hugging the kang and stuffing it into the quilt, Qiu Chen finally couldn't hold it anymore and softened it, reached out and wrapped the quilt around the two children and hugged them, and said with a smile: "Are you not tired after running for a day today?" Don't hurry up and go to bed yet! ”

Ah Fu blinked his eyes and laughed suddenly, Ah Man was more direct, his hands and feet arched into Qiu Chen's quilt like a small worm from her quilt, and he picked up Qiu Chen's body like an octopus and coquettishly said: "Mother, Man'er wants to listen to my mother's story!" Tell the story of kitten fishing! ”

Qiu Chen pinched Man'er's little nose, turned around and hugged Ah Fu, and said with a smile: "Fu'er is very responsible and manly today, my mother wants to reward Fu'er tonight, what story does Fu'er want to hear tonight, will my mother tell what story?" ”

Although Ah Fu still doesn't understand what 'responsibility' and 'spirit' are, he knows that this is his mother's praise for himself. Ah Fu, who was praised, was a little shy, blushed slightly and said: "My sister likes to listen to kittens fishing, just listen to kittens fishing!" ”

Such a well-behaved and sensible child makes Qiu Chen always feel a little distressed. Stretching out his hand to grab Ah Fu, Qiu Chen kissed the little guy's head, and said with a smile: "Ah Fu knows that it is very good that he feels sorry for his sister, but my mother wants to know what you want and what you like, is it okay to tell my mother?" ”

Ah Fu nodded with bright eyes, and said with a small face: "Fu'er likes to listen to Yue Fei, and likes to listen to Liu Guan, Zhang Sanying, and Lu Bu...... Well, I also like Monkey King to fight the white bone spirit three times! ”

Ah Man lay in Qiu Chen's arms and shouted: "Man'er also wants to listen to Sun Wukong!" ”

Qiu Chen hugged Ah Man, hugged Ah Fu again, and said to Ah Fu with a smile: "Look at it, if you say what you want, maybe it's what my sister likes!" ”

Ah Fu was able to hear the story he liked at this time, and it was also liked by his sister, and he was full of joy, and it made sense to listen to his mother's words, so he nodded vigorously.

Qiu Chen said again: "You know that it is right to be a brother and take care of your sister, but you don't have to be completely wronged and always rely on your sister, you can say what you like and want, and discuss it with your sister, isn't it better if both of you are happy and happy?" ”

Ah Fu smiled and nodded, Qiu Chen turned around and pinched Ah Man's little nose, and said with a smile: "Brother loves Ah Man so much, protect Ah Man, Ah Man will also remember to feel sorry for his brother and love his brother in the future, when he wants something, remember to ask his brother if it is okay?" ”

Aman was very kind, and nodded vigorously: "Well, Man'er will protect his brother in the future, whoever dares to bully his brother, Man'er will beat him!" ”

Call...... How did you get crooked eighty miles away?!

Qiu Chen exhaled, smiled and patted Aman's little brain, decided that education would stop there, and began to tell the story: "In other words, Sun Wukong and Tang Seng and the four of them traveled all the way to the west......"

Early the next morning, Lin Xu got up early and went to the backyard to ask Ah Fu Aman to get up and practice in the morning, peeking at Qiu Chen with a smile on his face, and becoming kind again, secretly relieved. Qiu Chen also saw the pale cyan shadow under Lin Xu's eyes, sighed in his heart, and greeted him with a smile as always, as if yesterday's unpleasantness had been thrown away. It's just that this matter has left no mark in the hearts of the two of them, and only the two of them know it themselves.

Last night, Qiu Chen put the child to sleep, and he also considered his own mentality and way of dealing with it.

She has been working hard to pull her family before, including the Lin family, the Yang family, and even the irrelevant Mrs. Lin Xianniang and others, and she has worked hard to make everyone happy and comfortable, so that the old can be supported, and the young can learn...... But after yesterday's events, Qiu Chen somewhat understood that people have their own feelings and thoughts, and she is not alone in control, so if she goes on like this, after a long time, such frictions and contradictions will continue to arise, and small contradictions and small frictions will accumulate and one day will develop irreconcilable......

It seems that she should also adjust her concept of handling affairs, and she should also think about the saying - distance produces beauty! There is also a saying in the farmhouse: the fragrance of the distance is the smell of the close! The words are different, but the meaning is the same.

Qiu Chen thought about this concept of life and the problem of the philosophy of doing things, but it is not a one-day thing, and the days must go on as usual, whether they are together or living separately, if there are contradictions, they must be resolved and resolved. According to Qiu Chen, relatives should be closer to each other than others, and the reason why there are contradictions, differences and even disputes and resentments is nothing more than two reasons, one is the dispute of interests, and the second is insufficient communication.

Qiu Chen thought a lot, but obviously his action was not as good as Lin Xu's half-grown child.

After breakfast, the children stayed at home and were taken care of by Erkui's family and Shunzi's family, while Qiu Chen took Lin Xu to Yun's house.

Sitting in the carriage together, the car shook out of the gate of the Lin family, Lin Xu was a little stumbling but firmly apologized to Qiu Chen: "Sister-in-law, yesterday was my brother's thought was not enough, it was my brother's mistake, sister-in-law should not be sad and angry, my brother will never be in the future." ”

Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, and then smiled sincerely: "Speaking of which, you and your eldest brother are actually doing well, but I can't turn around for a while, and I shouldn't be so angry last night, and you shouldn't complain about your sister-in-law's stinginess and willfulness." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say that, my brother won't ......," Lin Xu hurriedly confessed.

Qiu Chen smiled and interrupted him: "Although you and I are uncles and sisters-in-law, I have always treated you as my own brother. It is precisely because of this that I can't accept it for a while, I hope you can understand your sister-in-law...... In the future, if something happens, well, related to our family, I hope you can discuss it with me. Under normal circumstances, the sister-in-law is still relatively open-minded and will not be too unreasonable! ”

Lin Xu nodded his head shamefully and amusedly, and the uncle and sister-in-law eliminated the estrangement and unhappiness in laughter, and became harmonious and warm again.

Going to the Yun family today, it was the first time Qiu Chen participated in the gathering of the official eunuchs of this era, in order to be afraid that his etiquette would be poor and there would be places where he could not deal with it, Qiu Chen came out this time and brought Chen and Yuegui. Lin Xu was accompanied by Yuliang, and Qiu Chen had also given Zhishu a message before, and when the time came, Zhishu would wait at the door of Yun's house, and then follow Lin Xu to guide him, and he was also not worried about not understanding what was rude.

The Lin family was not far from the Lin family, but after half an hour, the car entered the back street of Fuhou, where the Yunfu was located. The speed of the car slowed down suddenly, Qiu Chen lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw that the originally very wide Fuhou Street was tightly congested by vehicles, horses and crowds, and the later carriage didn't want to move forward at all.

Junzi, who was driving the car outside, raised his voice and said, "Madam, the road ahead is blocked, let's wait for a while." ”

Qiu Chen also lifted the curtain and looked at the hustle and bustle in front of him, looking at it like this, if he waited for the car to pass slowly, the short distance of about 200 meters might have to take more than half an hour or even longer......

Qiu Chen turned his face back and asked Chen with a smile: "Sister-in-law Chen, in this case, it's not rude for us to get out of the car and walk over, right?" ”

Chen was slightly surprised, but then shook his head with a relieved smile and said: "Naturally, it's not rude, but some young ladies will be more delicate, and they are afraid of being hit by someone, so they have to move slowly in the car patiently." ”

Qiu Chen smiled, looked at Lin Xu and said with a smile: "We are from a family of Zhuang, and we are used to being happy in the village, so we don't care about this." ”

Lin Xu also laughed, took the lead in getting up and got out of the car, after standing still, he turned around and then put on a cloak and wore a hooded Qiu Chen got out of the carriage, Qin Yong and Shen Hu who followed behind the car handed over the horses to Shunzi to take care of, and took a step forward, protecting Qiu Chen and Lin Xu's uncle and sister-in-law, while Chen, Yuliang, and Yuegui followed closely behind Qiu Chen and Lin Xu's uncle and sister-in-law, and walked all the way towards the Yunfu Gate.

Because she wanted to be a guest, Qiu Chen didn't wear too plain today, a fox skin cloak embroidered with limestone embroidered obliquely out of magnolia flowers wrapped her slender figure tightly impermeable, only the light beige thick cocoon silk skirt exposed under her feet could see the very small but very delicate daisy embroidery, with her steps, the tiny chrysanthemums seemed to fall all the way, delicate and beautiful, just between the ups and downs of this elegant little daisy, a pair of stone blue satin embroidered shoes with beads the size of rice grains were also embedded with delicate patterns......

Lin Xu wore a soft-footed servant, and there was no complicated jacquard embroidery in the royal blue high-grade cocoon silk, but the jade pendant on his waist and the inlaid jade on the servant's head were also moist and clear, like a puff of spring water, and they were as clear as a spring.

The two of them are so dressed up, although they are not bright and flashy, but they will definitely not make people look down, and the low-key luxury reveals a different cool and elegant appearance, so calmly through the crowded traffic between the crowded vehicles, all the way unhurriedly, calmly so that the originally anxious and impetuous people can't help but straighten up the dispute and crowd, and naturally retreat to both sides to make way out.

Also because Qin Yong and Shen Hu opened the way in front, and there were Chen and others in the back to maintain, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu's uncle and sister-in-law walked all the way without much obstruction, there were still twenty or thirty steps away from the gate of the Lin family, and Zhishu, who was greeting and guiding the guests with a few men at the door, was stunned suddenly, and blinked his eyes in disbelief, and after seeing Lin Xu smiling with him, he suddenly came to his senses, left the two guests who had been greeted, and rushed over, and greeted Qiu Chen and Lin Xu from afar, and bowed quickly. Then with a smile on his face, he greeted Qiu Chen and Lin Xu and went all the way to the corner gate on the left: "Yang Shuren and Second Master Lin atoned for their sins, they were not thoughtful, and they should go to the street to meet them...... Hehe, that is, Yang Shuren and Lin Erye are generous, and they don't care about small things...... Please go this way with the little ones! ”

With the guidance of the Zhishu family, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu entered the Lin family smoothly all the way, and Zhishu sent Qiu Chen directly outside the second gate, and handed over Qiu Chen's master and servant to the two guiding mothers-in-law: "Aunt Tian, this is Yang Shuren, I bother you to take care of it!" ”

As he spoke, he whispered: "It's to do business with our two young people, Yang Shuren, who just awarded the third grade lady a few days ago, take good care of it!" ”

An ordinary woman from a Zhuang family was suddenly crowned a third-grade lady, such a sensational thing has already spread all over Anyang Mansion, as the housekeeper of the Yun family, how could this Tian woman not know the way! At this time, I listened to Zhishu and explained carefully, and said with a smile: "Where to use your little to confess, my aunt knows, you can go with confidence!" ”

Zhishu gave up his hand a few times, and then turned back and whispered to Qiu Chen: "Lady, Tian is the housekeeper next to Mrs., let her lead you in, and the smaller ones can't enter." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and bowed slightly, turned his face back to Tian and smiled, "I'm tired of Mama Tian!" ”

Zhishu and Lin Xu watched as Mrs. Tian led Qiu Chen into the second gate, and then turned to the outer courtyard where the male guests gathered.

Because it is to enjoy orchids, the place where the ladies and ladies gather is located in a plumbing pavilion in the back garden.

Entering the garden, the first few ladies and ladies were walking slowly to the back garden, Qiu Chen came late, and it was not good to rush all the way over, so he had to press his steps and slowly follow behind the crowd, slowly moving small steps inside. Listening to the ladies and ladies in front of me talking and laughing, they all admired the good scenery of Yunjiayuanzi one by one.

Qiu Chen also looked around, although there were many flowers and trees growing in this garden, they had roughly withered and fallen leaves this season, revealing bare gray branches and shivering in the cold wind. Only a clump of bamboo flashed out of the corner of the strange stone house, which was still verdant and pleasant, which was a rare little scenery in this garden. She really didn't know how to say that these ladies and ladies could see the beauty in the bare and dusty stones, and she couldn't see it anyway. Although she was wrapped in a thick fox skin cloak, she only wore a thin silk jacket and pants in order to look good, and the cold wind came in through the cracks in the cloak, as if she was going to get into the cracks of her bones all the way, and her whole body was almost frozen, and she really wanted to go into the warm room all at once.

Just when I was a little impatient, I heard someone in front of me laugh and say, "Bibo Lake has arrived...... Look at the clear water of this lake, it is really rare in this winter! ”

The ladies and ladies also followed in admiration, and Qiu Chen followed everyone quietly, and really saw a lake of clear water, sparkling microwaves, in this frozen winter of rivers and lakes, it is really a rare scenery. Qiu Chen, who was a little bored before, also showed a touch of interest at this time, looking at the sparkling lake, but he was wondering in his heart, I don't know if the lake water of the Yun family borrowed the natural hot spring eye or the result of artificial heating...... Natural hot springs are not enough, if it is really artificial heating to keep the water of a lake from freezing, the cost is too great!

Thinking about it like this, Qiu Chen searched around along the shore of the lake, but he didn't see where there was a place to heat the lake, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Mrs. Tian was still following behind him, and couldn't help but smile: "It's the first time I've seen the lake water that hasn't frozen in winter, it's really beautiful!" Rare! ”

Mrs. Tian smiled very flatteringly and said: "The lady who came here does not know the reason for this, there were originally two hot springs under this lake, one of the springs was extremely hot, and the eggs could be boiled, but the water flow was not large. The other hot spring is a little hot...... These two hot springs are not very useful, it just so happens that the old lady likes to see the lake, so our lord ordered someone to lead water to dig this lake, and through the two springs it has become a blue lake that does not freeze all year round. ”

After solving the confusion in his heart, Qiu Chen also smiled and praised relaxedly: "This unfrozen lake is rare, and the filial piety of Lord Yun is even more rare!" ”

Her own master was praised, and Mrs. Tian looked happier than she was praised, with a proud face, she raised her chin slightly and smiled: "What the lady said is that our lord's filial piety to the old lady is really rare!" ”
