104 It's snowing and I want to go to the temple fair
That night, there was a heavy snowfall, six or seven inches thick. When the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info pushed the door open in the morning, Mu Qianlan was also a little surprised, such a heavy snow, but I haven't seen it for a while.
It's the first month of the year, how can there be such a big snowfall? However, this is only the last snow of the year.
Mu Qianlan's house was originally outside the city, and there were not many people around, most of them were fields, Mu Qianlan looked very good-looking in silver, so he simply took the two dolls to play outside in the snow, so that he forgot about a few guests at home.
It was Yang Lan, who got up early in the morning and disappeared Mu Qianlan and the two little ones, so he asked someone, and knew that Mu Qianlan had gone outside the house, so he followed.
As soon as he went, there were more people following behind, Jiuli naturally wanted to follow, and it was impossible for Qiao Chengyi not to go, and finally the little guy around Qiao Chengyi also followed, and in an instant, the number of people outside increased a lot.
Mu Qianlan was in three big snowball fights with Luo'er Wood, Yang Lan walked in and watched the excitement, so he simply pinched the snow ball and began to participate in the battle, it doesn't matter if it starts, Jiu Li, who is most accustomed to wood, wants to participate.
Qiao Chengyi was still holding on to his identity, but seeing the excitement of these people, he also participated.
One morning, when a few people arrived at the house, the cotton shoes worn by Luo'er and Mu were already soaked, and the fourth grandmother was busy asking Sister-in-law Huang to boil ginger soup for them, and pressed the two babies on the hot kang to keep warm.
"Gee, I said I forgot something I had to bring. I got some good skins in front of me, and I thought I'd bring them to you. Why did I forget it. Yang Lan looked at the two dolls and seemed to be pitiful, and then he remembered that several of them were wearing leather clothes and leather hexagrams, but Qianlan and these were all wearing ordinary cotton clothes, and they didn't keep out the cold very much, but it was his negligence.
"We country children, it's so expensive there, whose doll doesn't come like this? It's just this year, it's warmer to wear, and in previous years, it might as well be like this. The fourth grandmother said with a smile.
My sister said. Wait until the end of the year. and they will make us leather jackets to wear. Luo Er said with a smile on her face.
By that time, even if it snows, it won't be cold.
"I've handed this over to my brother, and my brother asked me to send you some good skins, not just to make leather jackets. Also make leather boots. In this way, Luo'er's little feet are not cold, right? "Yang Lan is really spoiled by Luo'er. Touching her slippery little braids and laughing.
"That's not possible, Yang Gongzi can't bother us anymore. After this snowfall, the weather is going to get hot. If it snows, you have to wait until winter, and you won't need a leather jacket or anything. When the fourth grandmother heard what he said, she waved her hand hurriedly, the skin is a valuable thing, and she has already received him so much, how can she still accept the skin. If someone else knows, don't poke your family's backbone?
"What's this? Fourth grandma, you're welcome, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to live in your house. Yang Lan said with a smile.
What he said made the fourth grandmother have nothing to say.
Yang Lan was very cheerful, but Qiao Chengyi was a little melancholy, it was really inappropriate to rush in such weather, but he couldn't leave the capital for a long time, otherwise he didn't know what problems he would face.
Fortunately, the weather cleared up that afternoon, and although it was still cold, the snow soon began to melt.
Yang Lan and Qiao Chengyi lived in Mu Qianlan's house for three days, and left early in the morning on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Because Qiao Chengyi really can't continue to live, even if there is still a lot of snow on the road, he can only set off.
Before leaving, Qiao Chengyi still couldn't hold back to talk to Mu Qianlan for the last time.
"Qianlan, you could have had a better life, why don't you want to? We grew up together, and I'm your older brother, so isn't it natural for me to take care of you? Besides, you have a life-saving grace for me. Qiao Chengyi said eagerly.
When Mu Qianlan heard this, she raised her head suddenly, stared at Qiao Chengyi and said, "Brother Qiao, you want to take me to the capital, is it because of my life-saving grace, or because of the relationship between you and me who have lived together since childhood?" This may be the most important thing for Mu Qianlan, in fact, in the past few years, she has always wanted to know what Qiao Chengyi thinks of herself.
"Naturally, it's because of the love between you and I who grew up together, just like the love between us when you saved me in the first place."
Perhaps it was because of Mu Qianlan's words that Qiao Chengyi understood the apprehension in her heart, so she explained with eagerness.
"Since it's because of our affection when we were young, what does it matter if we live under one roof or not? Could it be that if I don't follow you to the capital, our past will disappear? Mu Qianlan said with a faint smile.
Qiao Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and could only say, "But, you can't do anything here, don't you?" Can you really get used to this kind of life? β
This kind of life, even when the Qiao family was the most depressed, had never had it. At that time, the family still had a lot of land, which was handed over to the tenants, and the grain handed over in a year was enough for the family to live. Mu Qianlan has indeed never lived such a life since she arrived at Qiao's house. At least there are two or three little maids around to serve.
Mu Qianlan suddenly smiled, very bright: "Actually, before I met you, my mother and I lived a more miserable life than this, but I didn't want to think about it or mention it." Therefore, even if he has lived in Qiao's house for several years, he has never talked about it. β
What good life can a child who has been without a father since birth and is raised only by his mother expect to live? At the beginning, Qiao Chengyi did ask, but she didn't want to mention it, so in the end, Qiao Chengyi didn't know what kind of life she had before she met him.
"Actually, life in Willow Village is not difficult anymore, there are many places in this world where you can't even eat enough." Mu Qianlan smiled indifferently, in the future and in this life, she has experienced a lot, and she has seen a lot, there are mountains and rivers in Willow Village, life is not sad, at least, the problem of food and clothing can still be solved.
Qiao Chenyi heard this and fell into deep thought. He knew that Mu Qianlan said the truth, in this world, there are many people who have a more difficult life than the people here, but in those difficult places, there is no girl named Mu Qianlan, and all he cares about is Mu Qianlan.
"Don't say you're the only one who cares." Mu Qianlan seemed to understand Qiao Chenyi's mind very well.
"You are the king of Hua Nan, and you are also one of the people chosen by the empress to inherit the throne, so. You don't just have me in your heart. There must be thousands of ordinary people, you have to think about letting the people live a good life, instead of letting me follow you to the palace alone to live a good life. β
Mu Qianlan is willing to try her best to let Qiao Chenyi have a correct understanding, since he has become the king of Huanan. His life can no longer be limited to personal feelings. Instead, we should keep all the people of Daqi in our hearts.
And so the two of them left. It was as sudden as when she came, but the fourth grandmother felt that this thing was a little strange.
Yang Gongzi didn't come to his house once or twice, and that time was not a time to drag out as much as he could. In the end, I have to set off, and there are not many times when I come and go in a hurry like this, and I walk neatly. Aside from leaving behind a lot of gifts, it was as if the two had never been in the house before.
There is also this Qiao Gongzi, although Qianlan said that it was brought by Yang Gongzi, but she is not old and confused, she can still see that Qiao Gongzi's goal seems to be Qianlan, and intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that there is still some flattery for Qianlan.
But how could Qianlan know such a noble person? What was Qianlan's identity before she stayed in Willow Village?
But the fourth grandmother is still a little worried, no matter what Qianlan's identity was before, now she is just a little girl in the countryside, and she is always a little incompatible with a person like Qiao Gongzi who looks high. However, she could clearly feel that Qianlan's feelings for Qiao Gongzi seemed to be very complicated, and they were absolutely different from the simple feelings for Yang Gongzi.
"Qianlan, why do I think that this Qiao Gongzi and you don't know each other?" The fourth grandmother finally decided to ask the doubts in her heart.
Since she lives in a family, she has to be responsible for Qianlan, and she can't watch this baby go the wrong way, right?
After Mu Qianlan heard this, she smiled helplessly and said, "I know him, and I have known him for many years. I met my mother a long time ago, after she died, and was taken in by her and lived in his house for several years. Later, they were separated for three years for various reasons. Later, he and I were no longer on the same road, so when I arrived in Changhe County, I met Mu Tou and Luo'er, and stayed in Liushu Village, and heβin short, don't worry, he and I will not cross paths again. β
Mu Qianlan briefly talked about the causes and consequences of herself and Qiao Chengyi, which can be regarded as Grandma An's heart, or so that she can see the current gap between the two people. After two lives and decades of life, Mu Qianlan is no longer the little girl who didn't understand anything back then, she knows the meaning of reality in life. It is more clear that marriage will always have nothing to do with love, but is closely related to family background.
Since the moment Qiao Chengyi entered Beijing, the two of them are no longer two people who have the same disease, but the prince and Cinderella who are different from each other.
The fourth grandmother didn't want to be such a story, and when she listened to it, she was also shocked, these two people actually grew up together? This Qiao Gongzi is extravagant at first glance, it can be seen that his birth is definitely not ordinary, Qianlan can live with him for several years, and he should not be an ordinary doll.
It's no wonder that Qianlan's baby's style looks different, and it was really cultivated by a big family. It's just that such a doll ended up in Willow Village, but this baby is deserted.
"Fourth grandma, I won't hide it from you, when I first saw Luo'er, I felt that Luo'er was vaguely similar to Qiao Gongzi's mother, so I was so willing to stay in Willow Village to guard these two children. I think maybe this is the fate in the dark, it is she who guides me to protect these two children. This is something that Qianlan has never said to others, but now, she chose to speak to the fourth grandmother.
"Speaking of which, Luo'er and her mother, she was a flower-like woman back then, and her all-round style was many miles taller than yours, and she could see that her background was definitely not ordinary, and I don't know why she stayed in our village. However, when she came, she didn't remember anything, it seemed that Luo'er's father had inadvertently rescued her, and when he saw that she was homeless, he brought her back. The fourth grandmother saw Mu Qianlan mention Luo'er, so she opened her mouth to talk about some adult past.
Actually, this is also the fourth grandmother who wants to open the topic, she is a person who has lived for most of her life, how can she not hear it, Qianlan was not happy when she said these words. And she felt that this was probably because Qianlan lived in Qiao's family and later had feelings for Qiao Gongzi, but she was forced to leave her hometown and go to Changhe County because of the other party's family background and couldn't be together. Therefore, don't talk about these troublesome things anymore, lest Qianlan feel sad when she hears it.
"Fourth grandmother, sister, what are you two talking about?" As the two of them were talking, they saw Luo Er jumping in, and because they saw that the faces of the two people were not very good, they spoke.
"Just talk about the past, why don't you stay with your brother?" The fourth grandmother smiled.
"My brother knows how to practice calligraphy, so he ignores me. Sister, I heard that there is a temple fair these days, but it is lively, otherwise, you can take me to see it! Xiao Luoer said coquettishly.
Looking at the expectant look on Luo'er's little face, Mu Qianlan was a little helpless, for her, the temple fair or something, it was really not new. But after thinking about it, for the children of this era, especially for a little girl like Luo'er, who has lived in the countryside since she was a child, the temple fair is only something that she has heard of but has not seen.
There is really nothing worth spending in the countryside of Daqi, except for going to the market, which is a temple fair several times a year. But these two things were far away for Luo'er in the past.
She and Mu Tou are the least status in that family, and they are also the most uncared for, and they are afraid that they will not be able to take their turn if there is any good thing. This year, although she often goes to the market, but because of herself, she has never been to the temple fair, no wonder this doll is looking forward to it like this.
"Fourth grandma, we have been in the county for a long time, and we really haven't been to the temple fair, so we will all go to the temple fair tomorrow." Mu Qianlan asked the fourth grandmother with an inquiring gaze.
The fourth grandmother is a widow, and there are no children or daughters around her, she can't lift her spirits about anything, and she has rarely joined in the excitement over the years, and she hasn't been to the temple fair for many years, and she saw that Mu Qianlan and Luo'er were very interested, and she would not let them down, so she smiled and said: "No, you should go shopping, I have heard a long time ago, the temple fair in the county is very lively, and now that we have this convenient condition, we simply go to see it." Not only the three of us will go, but also bring the wooden baby. I know how to read and learn words every day, if this goes on all the time, won't it really become a wood? (To be continued.) )
