"This ......"

Qiao'er was hesitating at this moment, Mrs. Zhou smiled at his pink cheeks, and liked him very much, so she just treated him as her own son, hugged him and smiled: "What is this or this, according to my words, I have agreed to it now." www.biquge.info It's just that the old saying says that your parents are not far away, so I'll let you go back today, so that you and your aunt will be informed, and you will come to me again tomorrow to reply, okay? ”

Qiao'er nodded helplessly, Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, took his hand and asked someone to pick two of the Yanqiu gourds, Yanqiu watermelons, and Yanqiu melons newly picked on Zhuangzi, and ordered the little servants to send him to his house later. There was nothing to do here, but he still ordered someone to send Qiao'er back to Zhou Fuxiang, leaving Mingyue alone and telling her something else.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Qingping was busy sending Qiao'er out by herself, and when she saw that there was no one, she pulled her and said, "Is there any way for the girl to do it now?" According to my idea, it is only appropriate to put this thing down. ”

Qiao'er said: "I originally had the same idea, but it was hard to push back from my wife's meaning." Merely...... I just thought about one thing carefully, I can't do it myself, and I have to ask my sister what she means. ”

Apple stopped, and the two of them hid behind the rockery and asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao'er said: "I heard my wife say that my sister is also going to go out with Uncle Fu, but is there such a thing?" ”

Qingping nodded with a smile, and Qiao'er said: "That's the case, it doesn't hurt if I go out with you, with my sister by my side, everything will cover up for me, Yanqing only said that I have never been used to being close to people, so let him give up the idea of sleeping together, but he can also fool the past." ”

Qingping was stunned and hurriedly said, "How does this make the girl forget the situation outside?" Let's not talk about this guilty body, the uncle and Brother Qin in the city don't know what moths are going to come out, and when the second grandmother is here, there are many dignitaries and nobles who come and go, and some have seen the girl, in case of a familiar face, what should the girl do. ”

Qiao'er knew that she would say such a thing, among the several girls around her mother, only Ping'er was the most popular with her, and only Ping'er was the most loyal and reliable person, understanding that she was really planning for herself, so she held Qingping's hand and said with a faint smile: "These are not said by my sister, I also know it in my heart, but since I left my hometown that day, I have never looked back." Now that I have a rare opportunity to return to Beijing, I want to go to Rongning Street again to have a look, my sister rest assured, I don't go into the alley, just take a look from afar. ”

Qingping was silent, her lips and teeth opened and closed for a long time, and she didn't know how to say it, so she had to touch Qiao'er's forehead with a sour smile. This child is her dedicated to taking care of the child, when the second grandmother was there, she lost her care due to miscarriage, and she has always had no time to take care of others, even if she is a coincidence, she can't see her all the time every day. The nurse maid in the house has no worries, she is afraid that her sister will suffer a loss behind her back, so she has to take care of everything by herself to prevent the nurse and maid from making trouble. Sister Xingxi Qiao'er is a smart person, although she is down-and-out, she still has the blood of the descendants of Rongguo Gong in her bones, inheriting the essence of her mother, and she is no longer the boudoir lady who needs her to take care of her, nor is she the delicate daughter who coughs when she sees the wind.

There's nothing wrong with that, at least you have to get by. Smiling as if self-deprecating, Apple smiled for a while, "If you really want to go, I'll accompany you." ”

Qiao'er smiled and pursed her lips, turned around and followed Apple out of the rockery, still going out through the second gate. The golden wuxi fell, and the afterglow was sprinkled on the bluestone steps, and Qingping stood at the door of the moon cave, watching her go farther and farther, and her thin figure was reflected on the steps, pulling more slender. For some reason, I felt a sour tip of my nose, and I burst into tears when I was caught off guard.

After going back, Qiao'er told her about the Zhou Mansion asking her to follow Zhou Fuxiang to Beijing to catch the exam, and Grandma They really didn't want to, and they all said: "I can't go, that time Aunt Li went to the city to buy goods, and when she came back, she said that there was a lot of noise in the city, and the daily curfew was strictly investigated, I don't know why, it can be seen that the things in your house have not stopped." Wouldn't this go out to kill yourself? ”

Qiao'er smiled: "This is not necessarily, my wife said that I only accompany my brother to read and write every day, and I don't need to do anything else." What's more, I'm traveling in men's clothes, so I can't recognize it when I meet it, and I will be wrong in two clicks. ”

Grandma was still not at ease, and refused to nod left and right. Qiao'er saw that everyone was eating, and she didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she just laughed a few words, but didn't say much. After the meal was over, grandma was afraid that she would not let go of this, so she pulled her through the house and told her carefully a few times, only saying that she couldn't go.

Qiao'er smiled silently, slept with Qing'er at night, the two of them met their heads and muttered for a while, Qing'er shook her head with a smile and said: "I can't do this, I really let you go silently, and grandma and Daddy and Auntie can't scold me when I turn around." ”

Qiao'er hurriedly covered her mouth, and also chuckled: "In the end, you are a person with a straight personality, and you never know how to shy away from speaking, so it's good that everyone who shouts carefully knows." Good sister, no matter what happens this time, only you can help me. There is no need for anything else, don't you want to send embroidery to Dujiazhuang every day, as long as you secretly wrap my clothes in it and bring it out, I can walk away. ”

Qing'er was still reluctant, and said with a smile: "How can I give it to you if I take it out?" ”

Qiao'er said: "I'm waiting for you at the head of the village, aren't you going to Duxiu Villa?" Just drop by. ”

Qing'er just giggled, and Qiao'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw that she was crazy: "The little hoof has fallen into some evil, but it's just a piece of clothing, look at you proudly." ”

"It's not just for clothes." Qing'er easily stopped laughing, hugged Qiao'er's arm, turned her head and said, "It's just that you are too bold, I don't know what grandma and Daddy and Auntie will be scared when you leave." ”

"Little Devil!" Qiao'er loved and hated for a while, reached out and pinched Qing'er, and the two of them were lying together, until they fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Qiao'er was afraid that Qing'er would forget what she had told her, and as soon as she saw Dongfang pale, she got up and pushed Qing'er to wake up. While lightly packing his bags, he said: "Don't remember that you can't reveal half a word to your grandmother before I leave, otherwise my trip will definitely be in vain." ”

Qing'er agreed with a smile while dressing, Qiao'er didn't dare to talk to Ban'er about it, so she casually made some breakfast with Qing'er. At one point, the dog couple also woke up, and saw that the two of them were busy in the kitchen, but they didn't need it, so they took over and added water to boil tea. Qiao'er gave Qing'er a look, said to Wang Liu and the dog to go to Zhou's mansion, and went out in a hurry, and walked straight to the village under the tree to wait for Qing'er to come over.

After a while, Guoguo saw Qing'er carrying a silk cloth package and handed it to her, Qiao'er asked her grandmother what they said, Qing'er smiled and said that it was still hidden in the dark, Qiao'er would feel at ease and go to Zhou's mansion.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou, she said that she was willing to go to Beijing with her brother to take the exam last night, and Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to make some food and other things for him, and saw that his burden was light, so she called Qingping to tell Mingyue that she wrapped a few more home-cooked shirts that her brother usually weared, and left them for Qiao'er to replace. There, Zhou Fuxiang had already gone to Master Zhou's side to ask for his resignation, and met with several Qing guests who came and went every day. The maid in the house has her own Mingyue Danyang assignment, who stays behind, who is on duty at night, and said that her brother is not allowed to hide during his absence, Mingyue Fang handed over the keys inside and outside to Danyang, and carefully told her to be careful about fire candles and other things.

Outsiders told Mrs. Zhou that the carriage and horses were ready, and Mrs. Zhou took the maid and the lady in charge, and invited Master Zhou to go out to see if there was anything else to add. Compared with everything prepared, the day has passed, Zhou Fuxiang took Qiao'er and Mingyue Qingping two big girls, four sons and two small girls, Zheng Yue Huo Zhen two long entourage, divided into two carriages and horses, out of the village to Beijing.

Because Baishui Village is close to the suburbs of Beijing, it only took half a day for Qiao'er to go to the countryside from the city, and now it only takes half a day to go to Beijing from the countryside. Probably because there were more people rushing to Beijing in July and August, and the slightly better inns in the city were almost all full, Zheng Yue drove around, and finally got off at a slightly simple Wanfu Inn at the end of Wuyi Lane.

Qiao'er and Zhou Fuxiang sat in the car and looked out with the corners of their clothes curtained, and saw that there were four or five donkeys and manger rooms near the inn, which were used for donkeys and horses to travel to the merchants. There are two narrow doors on the left and right, I don't know how many are deep, and there is an ebony sign hanging outside, Zhou Fuxiang asked: "What is this for?" ”

Qiao'er and Mingyue both shook their heads, and Qingping Yuan had never seen this, but they had heard a lot of people, but they also understood that the narrow door must be a secret house in the curved house, for the demon prostitute or the lowly actor to rest. It's just that the one sitting next to her is Miss Houmen of the Gongfu, and the other is the son of a wealthy gentry, so it is inconvenient to say more, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked Zheng Yue why he didn't come back. As he was talking, Zheng Yue outside had already smiled and said, "Come down, I have chartered three guest houses in the backyard, and no one is disturbing." ”

Qingping and Mingyue hurriedly agreed, Si'er and Wu'er came from behind, helped Zhou Fuxiang and Qiao'er down, Zhou Fuxiang turned around and pulled Qingping Mingyue and the two out of the car, and several people entered the Wanfu Inn, first went to the living room to register, each person paid three dollars and eight cents of the store's silver, and then entered the tax mountain silver one dollar and eight cents. The store of Wanfu Inn is divided into three classes, Zhou Fuxiang and others live because they are independent hospitals, which are counted as first-class, and the next guest is a vegetarian at night, and the guest is also vegetarian in the morning, and the guest is at noon, and the store rests at night. There are two kitchens, one is specially sent to the upper room, and the other serves the visitors in the lobby, and there are more than 10 people who run to serve.

Qiao'er and Zhou Fuxiang were both staying in the inn for the first time, so they couldn't help but feel fresh, and looked left and right carefully, before a shopkeeper wearing a gray cloth shirt with a white scarf on his shoulders and an apron tied around his waist came over, and shouted at them to go to the backyard.
