When he was about to rest in the evening, Qin Jing, the Duke of Qin, came over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Chen knew that she shouldn't be in the house, but she wanted to hear it, so she hesitated for a while.

Qin Jing glanced at the old ancestor.

The old ancestor smiled and patted Chen Chen's back: "Grandma Zu is a little thirsty, you let Zhaobi go and make a pot of strong tea for Grandma Zu." ”

That's what it's going to get her out.

Chen Chen had no choice but to nod and walk outside.

When she walked to the door, Qin Jing didn't mean to speak, so she had to turn around and close the door gently.

"Miss Table." Outside, he gave a blessing to the wall, "The blue yarn cabinet has been cleaned up for you, do you want to go and see if it's okay?" ”

Chen Chen thanked her.

"Sister Zhaobi, please make a pot of chamomile flower tea for your ancestors."

Zhaobi whispered "belch" and went to the tea room on the side.

She hesitated, thought about it again and again.

The maids in the house were all sent out by the ancestors, and only Mama Qu sat alone on the embroidery pier in the outer room.

"Why didn't I see you just now?" Chen Chen walked over with a smile.

Mama Qu squinted and recognized her, and then beckoned, "Miss Chen, hello." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes and sighed, "These eyes are getting worse and worse." I was lazy and squinted just now, don't tell my ancestor. ”

Chen Chen grinned.

"You can rest for a while, I'll help you watch."

Mama Qu hurriedly shook her head, "This is not good, you better go and rest earlier." Every time the lord comes over, he has to talk for a while, don't be sleepy. I couldn't help yawning as I spoke, and smiled at Chen Chen embarrassedly: "I'm old." ”

"You squint for a while, and if your uncle and grandfather don't leave, you can come back for me."

Mama Qu saw that Chen Chen was sincere in what she said, and she was really sleepy, so she had to thank her again and again, yawning and going to the ear room on the side.

Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn't know what to do if Mama Qu didn't agree.

She glanced in the direction of the back room, quietly moved over, and pressed her ear to the door.

“…… Short-sighted things, so unsure of trade-offs, and delusional to become human beings? It's a dream! The voice of the old ancestor mocking came from the house, and Chen Chen couldn't help but lean against the door again. Who is this talking about?

Qin Jing didn't answer.

After a while, I only heard the old ancestor speak again: "Then there is such a sister in the Wen Court who is really worthy of sympathy. Without Zhou Qi's favor, it will not be a big deal, and defeat is just around the corner. Let's talk to Qing'er, there is no need to put your mind on this, it is a serious matter to assist the new emperor to do a good job in the country. ”

"But Wen Thief has been in business for more than ten years and has already had a solid foundation. The first emperor was extremely fond of the three princes during his lifetime, I'm afraid that things are not so simple to solve......"

"What's so simple in this world!" The old ancestor was a little impatient, and said sharply: "It doesn't matter how many years he has been in business, just uproot it!" If Qin Qing didn't even have this ability, how could he talk about assisting the king! ”

Qin Jing was silent again, and said after a while: "It's okay for Wen Thief to be like this, if you don't let the tiger return to the mountain, it will be easy to control it in the capital." ”

The old ancestor snorted coldly.

"You tell Qin Qing ......"

"Miss Table."

There was a sound of shining on the wall outside, Chen Chen hurriedly walked over and opened the door, and said a little nervously: "Is the tea ready?" ”

Zhaobi handed in the tea tray and gently closed the door again.

Chen Chen gently placed the tea tray on the round table with carved red lacquer, and walked back to the door of the inner room quickly.

There was no sound in it again.

She thought about it for a while, returned to the round table, picked up the tea tray, and walked to the door of the inner room again, and called softly, "Ancestor, your tea." ”

"Come in."

She opened the door and walked in, and when she looked at it, she saw that the old ancestor was leaning on the big pillow with a gentle expression, not at all like the angry appearance just now. But the eldest uncle and grandfather, Qin Jing, lowered his head and thought about something, and was a little silent.

What did the old ancestor want Qin Jing to tell his grandmother?

When Qin Jing saw her come in, he looked at the old ancestor with some hesitation, and finally saw that the old ancestor still didn't move, so he had to bow and strode out.

Chen Chen put the tea tray on the table and poured a cup of tea for the old ancestor.

The old ancestor took it with a calm demeanor and said regretfully: "When will Aunt Yu be able to make a pot of tea for Grandma Zu herself." As he spoke, he brought the teacup to his lips, frowned and took it to his eyes and looked at it, "This is chamomile flower tea." ”

"You asked Sister Zhaobi to soak it."

The old ancestor glanced at her unhappily, "But the old body obviously wants strong tea!" ”

"What kind of strong tea do you drink at night?" Chen Chen took the cup in her hand, and pulled out the big pillow behind her, "Hurry up and go to sleep, don't the old people all have to go to bed early?" ”

The old ancestor pursed his lips and looked at the chamomile flower tea on the side, "Let's take a sip." ”

"Drink what." Chen Chen ignored her and covered her with a quilt.

The old ancestor looked at her and smiled: "Are you caring about the old man?" ”

"It's not." Chen Chen put down the curtain of Jiao silk yarn for her, turned around and walked out.

"Where's Mama Qu?" The old ancestor asked again.

Chen Chen was just about to answer, when he saw a figure hurriedly walk in, "Here, here, here." As he spoke, he turned to Chen Chen and smiled: "Miss Chen, go to sleep, the old slave will turn off the lights." ”

Chen Chen nodded to her, and asked the old ancestor a few more words, and then went out.

The old ancestor had already lifted the curtain and sat up, took a sip of the tea on the table, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Mama Qu hurriedly stepped forward and took the water cup in her hand and put it on the table.

"Go to sleep, I'm tired of you."

Mama Qu laughed: "Don't torture the old slave." She cleaned up her ancestors and spread the quilt on her feet: "I haven't slept with you for a long time." ”

"yes." The old ancestor was a little stunned and said: "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they still have to go their own way in the future." ”

Mama Qu smiled as if she didn't understand: "Don't blame the old slave for being lazy." ”

The old ancestor looked at the top of the tent for a long time, and was speechless.

Chen Chen lay down on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she sat up after a while, and was silently in the dark.

The ancestor was in such good health, how could he suddenly become seriously ill?

What does Qin Jing mean, did Wen Tingli think about saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown when Zhou Hong ascended the throne? Or would you be wrong?

She thought about a lot of things in the past, but she still didn't have the slightest clue.

She fell asleep unconsciously with her back against the pillow, as if she dreamed of many things, but most of them were before the age of twelve, when she had been carefree every day. She also dreamed of the picnic her father had taken them out on a picnic, the green meadows, the white clouds, and the big sun.

Tomorrow, everything will be fine.
