Chapter 18: Letters from Far Away

Chen Wei's guess was completely correct, Qing Jia, who was far away at home in Huadu, had already begun to count the days of his departure with his fingers, and he said that he would write to her when he arrived!

However, a day passed, ten days passed, and a month passed, and she still did not receive the letter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She has grown so big, and the farthest distance she has ever experienced is only when Mrs. Lu takes her back to Lu Mansion from Qixia Mountain, and other than that, there is no concept of space.

So she didn't know what the concept of nearly 2,000 miles was, nor did she know how long the speed of a long-distance march would take, and she didn't know a lot of what Chen Wei didn't say.

Therefore, I can only do it at home, but I can't show it yet, but as the days go by, I can't help but feel impatient.

Chen's mother saw her day and night, and now she also feels that this daughter-in-law is very satisfied, she has endured hardships, and she has never abandoned her son along the way, and she also loves her son wholeheartedly, what else does she have to ask for.

But in recent days, she can clearly feel her absent-mindedness, and Chen's mother has not only been physically worse than before since she was paralyzed, but her spirit has also been much shorter. I didn't want to ask more, but in the past few days, I saw that she was in a state of mind, and she was careless a lot, endured and endured, and finally asked: "What is the matter with your recent restlessness?" ”

Qing Jia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, has she already expressed it so obviously?

But I didn't dare not answer Chen's mother's question, so I had to tell the truth, this is also in line with Chen's mother's meaning, as the so-called child's mother is worried, Chen's mother is actually very concerned about her son in her heart, but she is now a person who has experienced nine deaths, plus Chen's father's death has given her a great impact, and her emotions have been a lot more restrained.

What's more, there are only two of them left in the family, Qingjia is young and has nothing to do, so she also sighs together, what does the family look like with a gloomy cloud.

She is an elder, her son is not at home, although she has been sick in bed for a long time, but after all, she has been the wife of the house for nearly 30 years in the Guogong Mansion, and the majesty is still there, and she naturally wants to become the backbone at this time.

Qingjia is now much closer to Chen's mother, probably because she has no mother since she was a child, and she was a little afraid of Chen's mother at first, but after getting along, she realized that the sharp and stern was just the appearance, and her heart was still very soft, and she was a master who loved her children. So now I also like to be coquettish with her, Chen's mother likes her simple mind, good nature, gentle temperament, and she is more indulgent on weekdays.

No, in a blink of an eye, she was sprinkled, her peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, the corners of her lips were smiling, her eyes looked at her expectantly, and she said happily: "Mother, have you ever been out of Huadu?" Ever been further afield? ”

Mother Chen glanced at her and scolded with a smile: "What is this called, where can my daughter's house run around!" However, seeing her slightly disappointed expression, she smiled, but she had a little intention of speaking, and said: "However, Ronghe went to Luzhou once in the thirty-ninth year, and the first emperor took the queen and several royal relatives and ministers to the south to parade that year. Yun Zhao's father was responsible for the security and protection of the first emperor, and the first emperor was benevolent and magnanimous, so he allowed several female relatives in the family to follow. ”

Although the southern tour was vast, there were a large number of people, and it didn't take much effort to have so many female dependents, but most of the people who accompanied him were relatives and important ministers.

Qing Jia's eyes widened, surprised, and looked at Chen's mother and couldn't help but smile.

"Then, mother, you know Huadu," she looked at Chen's mother timidly, and said softly, "How far is Huadu from Cloud City?" ”

Mother Chen was stunned for a moment, Qingjia lowered her head and continued: "The third brother said that he would write to me when he got there, but now, it has been more than a month......

"Silly child," Chen's mother touched her head and comforted: "The border is far away, the news is blocked, how long will it take to come and go?" You have to be patient and hold your breath. ”

If you want to say that Qingjia is in a hurry, then Chen's mother doesn't have to worry less, how many sins did she suffer to give birth to her son? Thousands of miles away, I can't see or touch it, and I can't feel it, and the calm on her face is also pretending to be seen by others. Chen's mother knows very well that when a man is outside, there can't be chaos at home.

Mother Chen glanced at Qingjia's delicate face, and couldn't help but be shocked, how long did this child look like this?

When she first saw her, she was barely handsome, and now it has only been a year since she was a different person. The eyebrows and eyes are charming and natural, as glamorous as peaches and plums, and there is an indescribable style with a smile and a smile.

Especially those breathtaking eyes, when they laugh, they are a clear pool under the moon, and their eyes are drunk and colorful.

Mother Chen, who has been in Huadu all her life, Mrs. Huayun, who was the crown of Huadu at the beginning, has seen so many beautiful ladies and beautiful women, and now she is secretly frightened.

She is only sixteen years old, different from Lu Qingyu's meticulous carving and painstaking cultivation, it is so simple, and the coarse linen shirt is also moving.

If it weren't for her pure character and gentle personality, she would almost have suspected that this was a reincarnated goblin.

Where can there be such a charming and touching girl, and the personality is likable, which is even more unstoppable.

"You don't go out on weekdays," Chen's mother considered her words, trying not to appear deliberate: "There is no man in the family, and if something happens, there is no ...... who can make up your mind."

Qingjia was worried about her safety as Chen's mother, and hurriedly expressed her intentions, and said: "Mother, don't worry, I don't have anything to go out, but I just learn some crafts with the aunts in the village on weekdays, and there will definitely be no accidents!" ”

Mother Chen sighed secretly in her heart, this child obviously misunderstood her intentions, but these words could not be said clearly, so she could only give up in her heart.

Red face and troubled water, this has been the case since ancient times. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to marry a wife like this. It's just that her son is not at home at this time, how can she not worry about being thousands of miles away.

But after thinking about it, since Qingjia got married, he has been diligent and thrifty, filial piety, and the husband and wife are also very affectionate. How could she know about her own son, recalling what he said by her bedside before leaving, her heart suddenly waved:

“…… The son is not filial and cannot serve his mother. After that, thousands of miles away, the son had no other hope, hoping that his mother would be in good health and live a long life. He held his mother's hand, endured it, and said in a low voice: "Qingjia is still young, and his son can't rest assured......"

Worry about what to do if she encounters something that can't be solved, what to do if she is overly worried and no one to comfort her, what to do if she has an accident and no one to ask for help......

"Please take care of her, mother......"

Chen's mother has been in the Gonghou House all her life, and her life experience is by no means comparable to Qingjia, although she has been ill for a long time, her means are not bad. Besides, now that the only person he can rest assured about is his mother.

A mother really hit Chen's mother's heart, and the son's heart and mind were all about his wife, so affectionate, I really don't know who it looks like.

Qingjia didn't know anything, and the sorrow and happiness were all on his face, and he could see it at a glance. Every now and then, she always feels comfortable, she is also a woman, so she knows that the deep eyes of a woman when she loves someone deeply, just like she finds her eyes when no one looks at the clouds.

"Good boy, now that you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are left in the house, there must be no mistakes," she patted Qingjia's hand, "You don't need to work too hard, Yun Zhao of the province still thinks I mean you when I come back to see you!" ”

Qingjia was also very sweet when she heard this, stuck out her tongue, and made a grimace: "No, my mother really hurts me anymore!" ”

For a time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very harmonious.

***************

Chen's mother's comfort actually didn't play a substantial role, but Qingjia was really not so panicked in her heart. After doing things every day, I ran to the ferry at the entrance of the village and asked the boatman who was ferrying there:

"Uncle Li, do you have my letter today?"

"No, I'll bring it back to you!"

"Oh...... Thank you for making green onion cakes today and giving them to you! ”

"Oh, thank you Jiajia, I will definitely bring you back with your letter."

……

"Brother Zhang, did the messenger deliver a letter today?"

"Yes, but I don't think there's yours."

"Uh...... It's okay, give me the letter, and I'll bring it back to you by the way! ”

"Then do me a favor!"

……

"Brother Hu......"

"Sister Jiajia, there is no letter from the village today."

"Hmm...... Okay, then bother you, are there roasted sweet potatoes to eat here? ”

"Thank you, Sister Jiajia, I'll go early tomorrow to help you see where the messenger is!"

………

After repeating this for many days, on a sunny spring afternoon, when Qingjia was helping the eldest lady next door pick cherries, the eldest mother's daughter-in-law came back and raised the things in her hand:

"Jiajia, your letter from Chen Wei!"

"Oops-"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, accompanied by the exclamations of others:

"Jiajia, are you alright!?"

"It's okay," she got up, patted the dust and stolen goods stuck to her clothes, and didn't care about the sleeves of her clothes that were torn by the branches, and ran over happily to snatch the letter, and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you!" ”

"Hey, what's this worth, say thank you or not. Quickly show me if it is broken, if such a beautiful little daughter-in-law is broken, then your Chen Wei will not be distressed to death when he comes back. "The sister-in-law of the Zhang family likes to tease this child who is a few years younger than herself, knowing that her face is very tender, and it is very beautiful to make her blush.

Sure enough, Qingjia's face was redder than the cherry on the tree, and she stomped her foot and turned around and ran.

Aunt Zhang shouted behind her: "Jiajia, don't run, take some cherries and go back to eat!" ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family also added: "The words on the letter will not be gone in vain, you can read it slowly, don't be in a hurry-"

Aunt Zhang patted her daughter-in-law, glared and said, "Don't tease her, otherwise you will be out of the house for several days, and you will send this small basket of cherries to her later." ”

"Oh, mother, I'm jealous of you like this!"

Aunt Zhang directly stuffed a few cherries into her daughter-in-law's mouth, and scolded with a smile: "This can't stop your mouth!" It's not uncommon to see you used to her on weekdays. ”

"Well, this year's cherries aren't so sweet!"
