【Chapter 074】 Family
In the inner courtyard of the Pei family, people of all sizes are busy sprinkling and sweeping.
I knew that their niece was coming back, and I didn't know that I thought I was going to marry a bride.
The gate of Pei's house was open, but no one guarded it, Shen Youqing stood outside the door and looked inside, the courtyard was quiet, only a strong fragrance came, which revealed a little bit of the situation, she was overjoyed, just in time for lunch......
"Master Huo, do you want to go in?"
Shen Youqing looked back at Huo Ying who was far away at the bottom of the steps, and the depression that was originally full of heart disappeared at this time, replaced by a joy of going home.
Yesterday didn't make sense, today can only continue to walk together, standing at the door of the house at this moment, Shen Youqing is not as stingy as before, and even invited Huo Ying into the house.
But Huo Ying refused, he was not a person who didn't understand etiquette, what it meant to be brought home by a woman to introduce to his family one by one, he naturally understood, after thinking about these carefully, he even regretted it a little, why didn't he just give up when Shen Youqing refused, but insisted on it......
"The fourth lady arrived home safely, and the official's mission was completed, and she took her leave."
Shen Youqing smelled the fragrance of acacia flowers floating in the air and ran all the way to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Qin was busy putting the freshly steamed acacia flowers on the plate, and the fragrance of the flowers made the whole kitchen sweet.
"Auntie."
When Shen Youqing walked to Qin's side, Qin hadn't noticed anyone approaching, and it wasn't until Shen Youqing shouted that he looked at her.
After a while, the Qin clan came to his senses and showed a look of surprise: "Qingqing, are you back?" ”
Shen Youqing stared at a plate of dried meat on the table, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, Qin Shi saw it, and couldn't help laughing: "I said that your girl won't come to see me as soon as she comes back, it turns out that she smells the fragrance." ”
"My niece is wronged, of course my niece is looking at my aunt first and then smelling the fragrance."
"Alright, since you're back, let's have dinner. It just so happens that everyone in the family is there. ”
Pei Shi motioned to the cook on the side to bring the dishes to the flower hall, and then took Shen Youqing's hand and walked out of the kitchen.
Shen Youqing looked around, and the servants in the courtyard were not there, and couldn't help but feel strange: "Uncle." Where are all the people in the house? ”
Qin Shi smiled, "I heard that you were coming back a few days ago, so I started to clean up your room, but we are still strange that you haven't arrived." This morning, when your uncle came back from the yamen, he asked someone to clean up your room again, saying that you were coming back, but we still didn't believe it, but who knew that your girl would really come back. ”
Shen Youqing smiled and nodded, presumably her uncle knew what happened in Lincheng, and he also knew about the lifting of martial law, and he expected that she would rush back as soon as possible, so he said this to his aunt.
"Is Grandpa there?"
"Your grandfather may not be back until tomorrow. Qingqing, you ...... with your mother."
Qin slowed down and asked softly, this has always been her most concerning.
Shen Youqing smiled, "We are mother and daughter, uncle, my mother is very good." ”
Hearing this, Qin nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, how can the mother and daughter be hostile forever, you guys are good." Your grandfather can rest assured. ”
Shen Youqing nodded yes......
In the flower hall, Pei Feng and a pair of children are there, and naturally Shen Youqing's favorite uncle Pei Yu is indispensable.
Shen Youqing followed the Qin family into the flower hall, and the little cousin ran over with a pair of small short legs.
"Sister Qing. Sister Qing......"
The little guy's arm just wrapped around Shen Youqing's legs, looking up at her, his bright eyes blinked, and he shouted Shen Youqing in a milky voice.
Shen Youqing squatted down and patted her little head, saying that children can't remember people and things the most, but her little cousin can remember it clearly. After half a year away, she can still recognize her at a glance.
Hearing the little guy's shout, the adults in the flower hall reacted.
As soon as Shen Youqing sat down, he was pulled by Pei Yu to ask questions, he and Shen Youqing were only ten years old, and his temperament was like a child, compared to Pei Ning, who was a junior, he was more like a junior, except for Pei Ning, it was this little uncle who played with her.
Since childhood, their relationship is not like that of uncles and nephews, but like friends of the same age.
The Pei family does not have many rules like the Shen family, and he does not talk less when eating, especially Pei Yu, he is a man of many words, and his niece and daughter who are willing to play with him at this moment are back, he naturally has no leisure for a moment, and after eating the whole meal, it makes everyone laugh and laugh as if they are at the dinner table.
After the meal, Chu Jiu and Yu Xi were called over by Pei Feng, only asked a few random questions, and then ordered them to retreat, the Pei family had no idle courtyard, and Chu Jiu directly stayed in the Pei family's guest room, there are few guests at ordinary times, so that row of guest rooms has become a furnishing, but it is cheaper than Chu Jiu.
The little cousin seems to like Yuxi very much, and she is clamoring to let Yuxi hug her, and it can be seen that Yuxi is very reluctant, she may not like children, but she can only coax her patiently......
The next day, my grandfather did not return on time.
Shen Youqing simply took Yuxi out, Ningyuan City was originally a small county town, and the Pei family was not far from Qingsha Town, and it would have arrived in less than an hour.
Seeing Niuniu playing with a group of children from a distance, Shen Youqing jumped out of the carriage happily.
Niuniu raised her eyes to look at her, she didn't speak for a long time, but her eyes became red.
"Sister, wow......"
Niuniu suddenly cried loudly, Shen Youqing didn't know why, and was a little at a loss for a while.
"What's the matter, Niuniu, don't cry......"
Finally calmed her feelings, took her hand and walked into the small courtyard, the strong smell of medicine came to her face, Shen Youqing frowned, it turned out that the smell of medicine was wafting out from this small courtyard.
Is Aunt Lian sick?
Shen Youqing's heart jumped, she left Niuniu to Yuxi, and walked to the kitchen by herself.
"Aunt Lian."
"Young lady, are you back?"
Seeing Aunt Lian's surprised gaze, Shen Youqing's heart relaxed, and at the same time she looked back at Niuniu who was still whimpering, full of helplessness: Little Ancestor, is it really okay to cry in front of this scene?
Aunt Lian put down the pu fan in her hand, walked over and grabbed Shen Youqing's hand, and said happily, "When did you come back?" ”
"I just came back yesterday, isn't it coming to you today, just now Niuniu started crying when she saw me, and the yard was full of the smell of medicine, so I thought something happened to you......" Shen Youqing walked past her and walked to the boiling medicine jar.
Aunt Lian was stunned and said, "This medicine is for Brother Zhao next door...... He broke his leg a few days ago, and he was the only one in the family, and it was inconvenient to do anything. ”
Shen Youqing held her head on her head, if she heard correctly, Aunt Lian's tone and expression when she spoke just now could be called shy......
"You helped if no one else helped?"
"Someone else is not...... Young lady, where did you think of going......"
Aunt Lian noticed Shen Youqing's malicious smile and couldn't help blushing, but Shen Youqing looked at her innocently: "Aunt Lian, I didn't say anything. ”
Shen Youqing saw her blushing, so she put away her smile and casually changed the topic elsewhere...... (To be continued.) )
