Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Long Summer

At the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass

**

Qin Min liked Ji Xiaotang's character very much, and she patted Ji Xiaotang's hand.

"This bead is called the Immortal Pearl, which is not too precious, but it is unique in the world. If you put it on, don't take it off again, you wear it close to your body, and you don't have to be seen. Qin Min instructed Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Min said very implicitly, but Ji Xiaotang knew that this bead was not only precious, but also something that Qin Min cherished very much. Qin Min gave her this string of beads, which meant that he accepted Ji Xiaotang and agreed to her relationship with Qi Younian.

Thinking like this in his heart, Ji Xiaotang solemnly responded and decided that from now on, he would always wear this string of beads on his body and never separate them again.

Perhaps, this string of beads can be used as a family heirloom to her daughter or daughter-in-law in the future.

Thinking like this, Ji Xiaotang suddenly realized that she seemed to be thinking too far.

Qi Younian kept looking at Ji Xiaotang, and saw Ji Xiaotang's face red again, although he didn't know what Ji Xiaotang was thinking, he felt happy for no reason.

Ji Xiaotang put the beads on his wrist and covered them with his sleeves, then he raised his head and met Qi Younian's affectionate and joyful eyes.

brought her to see Qin Min, but she had kept Qin Min's identity secret before, which was the big surprise that Qi Younian gave her.

If Qin Min is willing to call the shots for them, then Changning doesn't seem to be an insurmountable obstacle

Ji Xiaotang understood Qi Younian's eyes, smiled and nodded lightly.

"Old, old......" Qin Min sat between the two. Watching the two young men exchange glances back and forth, he deliberately smiled and sighed.

"Grandmother is not old." Only then did Qi Younian retract his gaze at Ji Xiaotang and smiled at Qin Min.

"yes. And my grandmother is still a birthday star, and she will definitely be immortal. Ji Xiaotang also said.

"You two little children, each with a sweeter mouth, will make my old man happy." Qin Min was very happy by the two of them, and his smiling eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

“…… Ayou has already mentioned you to me, why have you been in Beijing for so long, and you have never come to see me? Qin Min gossiped with Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang said how he was entangled in everything.

"Ayo didn't tell me either. It was the grandmother who lived here. I just thought that Ayou had arranged someone, afraid that I would be in danger and would relieve me. That's why I haven't wanted to use it. If I had known it was my grandmother, I would have come a long time ago. ”

This is the truth, don't say that Qin Min is an old man who is pleasant to get along with, just that she is Qi Younian's grandmother. and has a deep love with Qi Younian's ancestors and grandchildren. Ji Xiaotang will love Wu and Wu, and hopes to get acquainted with her as soon as possible and get along with her as much as possible.

"Grandmother, I am really to blame for this matter, and I didn't make it clear to Xiaotang." Qi Younian also said.

Qin Min gently poked Qi Younian's forehead with his fingers, and his eyebrows and eyes were doting.

"Don't blame you, who else can blame. It's all your fault, I only recognized Xiaotang today. Otherwise, I would have had this confidant a long time ago, and my paintings would not have been lonely for so long. ”

"It's all my fault." Qi Younian smiled and apologized. "Grandmother punished me."

"Okay, then punish you for carrying water for me." Qin Min said immediately.

Qi Younian happily agreed.

Qin Min took Ji Xiaotang to get up, went out of the house, and sat under the porch.

There are two huge pot-bellied water tanks under the corridor, and there is still half a tank of water left in them. Such a water tank is available in Ji Xiaotang's Yanhua Hall, and water lilies are planted in the tank.

This kind of water tank can be used for viewing when planted with water lilies, and it can also be used to save emergencies in case of emergency.

Qin Min didn't plant anything in the two water tanks outside Qin Min's house, and he didn't raise koi. Qin Min told Ji Xiaotang that the water in these two tanks was used by her to wash her paintbrushes.

"Isn't there a legend that the ancients practiced calligraphy, saying that he washed the pen and turned the pond at home into an ink pool." It turned out that the ancients who Qin Min learned had to study the meaning of painting hard.

As he spoke, Qi Younian had already rolled up his sleeves, and very skillfully scooped out the remaining water in the two jars first, then carried two more wooden barrels and walked out.

Not far from the house, under an old banyan tree, there is a well.

Sitting under the porch of the house, you can see how Qi Younian walked to the well, how he shook the wheel to draw water, and when the two wooden barrels were filled, he walked back with one in one hand.

Back and forth, Qi Younian's face was not red, he was not panting, and looking at his appearance, he was obviously used to it.

Qin Min kept looking at Qi Younian with a smile.

"Since Ayou was seven or eight years old, he will carry water for me." Qin Min seemed to be talking to Ji Xiaotang, and it seemed to be talking to himself. "At that time, he couldn't lift two buckets of water at a time, he could only lift one bucket, and he had to rest all the way."

Qin Min said this, his eyes were a little distant, as if he was recalling the past.

"At that time, Ayoti's was also such a big bucket?" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but ask.

"yes." Qin Min nodded.

"Oh......" Ji Xiaotang deliberately described in his heart, how tall Qi Younian, who is seven or eight years old, is probably only a little higher than this bucket. What kind of scene is that Qi Younian, carrying such a big bucket......

It's worth considering.

Qin Min also smiled.

"When I was a child, Ayou was fat and dundun, not much taller than a bucket, such a small person, holding such a big bucket in both hands, let him change the bucket, he still didn't want to ......"

Qin Min giggled, and her smile was a bit girly.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing, just at this time, Qi Younian came back with two buckets of water, and saw that Qin Min and Ji Xiaotang were both smiling a little unusually.

"What's wrong?" Qi Younian stopped and asked the two of them, while subconsciously looking at himself, for fear that there was something wrong with him, and he was made fun of by these two people.

"Nothing." Ji Xiaotang said, still smiling.

Qi Younian refused to believe it.

"Grandmother, I'm your own grandson." Qi Younian said to Qin Min, meaning that Qin Min should never talk about the troubles he had when he was a child.

Who didn't have a few things to do when they were young? Ji Xiaotang smiled like that, it must have been because of Qin Min's informant.

Qin Min only laughed at Qi Younian's request. deliberately didn't agree, to make Qi Younian anxious.

Qi Younian has always had nothing to do with Qin Min, and he was even more helpless against Ji Xiaotang, so he had to lift the bucket again to carry water.

"At that time, Ayou was able to lift such a big bucket of water!" Ji Xiaotang's focus shifted slightly.

"yes, yes." Qin Min nodded again and again, and showed Ji Xiaotang a look that you really know very well. "We Ayou are born with divine powers. You've seen his bow. ”

Qi Younian's Sun Shooting Divine Bow was rarely taken out. However, Ji Xiaotang naturally saw it and touched it carefully.

Qin Min saw Ji Xiaotang nodding, so he continued: "Ordinary people can't pull that bow at all. Why can the Qi family be crowned a marquis with military merits. Why can you be in charge of the army for generations and shock the Quartet? The people of the Qi family are all born with divine power. ”

And among the generation of the Qi family, Qi Younian has the highest talent.

However about these. Qi Younian never told Ji Xiaotang. Qi Younian never likes to boast. He's more about action.

And Ji Xiaotang likes this very much.

At this time, Qi Younian came back with two buckets of water. Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian, and inevitably thought about what he was like when he was seven or eight years old, a fat dumpling? I'd love to see it.

When Qi You was seven or eight years old, he began to carry water for Qin Min.

Does that mean that at that time, Qin Min had already lived in seclusion in this Jingci Nunnery?

Ji Xiaotang thought about some rumors he had heard before, and felt that it should be.

But why didn't Qin Min live in the Hou Mansion. Secluded into a nunnery? Although he had just met Qin Min, Ji Xiaotang instinctively felt it. Qin Min's temperament is not one who will be obsessed with cultivation. And Qin Min and Qi Younian have such a good relationship, what made her give up the joy of family?

Qin Min lived in seclusion in the nunnery, but he was afraid that it was not voluntary.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang was even more difficult to ask Qin Min the reason for living in seclusion.

Qin Min tilted his head slightly at this time, and saw Ji Xiaotang's contemplative appearance.

Qin Min smiled, just pretending not to see it.

"Ayou, come and rest." Qin Min greeted Qi Younian.

"Grandmother, I'm not tired." Qi Younian said this, but still walked over.

"I'm sweating." Qin Min looked at Qi Younian and said.

It was already summer, the sun was shining, Qi Younian walked back and forth a few times with such a heavy bucket, and his forehead was indeed slightly sweaty.

Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about it, so he took a handkerchief from his sleeve and came out.

Qi Younian saw it, and naturally leaned his head over.

Ji Xiaotang also took it easy and wiped Qi Younian's sweat with a handkerchief.

Qin Minxiao's eyes were almost invisible.

"Sweet, my old woman's teeth are going to fall!" Qin Min's voice was neither high nor low.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang were busy separating, and they were ridiculed by Qin Min, and the two of them were slightly embarrassed.

"Grandmother." Qi Younian was dissatisfied, if it weren't for Qin Min, he could still enjoy a little more Ji Xiaotang's gentleness. You must know that since he met Ji Xiaotang, the two of them have gathered less and left more, and after returning to the capital, it is the first time that he has had the opportunity to get along with Ji Xiaotang for so long.

Qin Min naturally felt Qi Younian's resentment, and smiled quite narrowly.

After Qi Younian finished carrying the water, Qin Min took him and Ji Xiaotang to the house to sit again.

Mama Kong brought someone to bring cold sweet soup to a few people, especially Qi Younian, to relieve the heat.

"Ayou has loved sweets since he was a child." Qin Min told Ji Xiaotang again.

Although Qi Younian tried his best to cover up this, Ji Xiaotang had already faintly noticed it.

"When I was a child, her mother and I were in charge of him, refusing to let him eat more, for fear that he would eat his teeth......" Qin Min and Ji Xiaotang chatted in low voices, and the topic naturally revolved around Qi Younian.

The sun is scorching outside, but it is naturally cold inside.

The summer is long, and the years are quiet.

"Grandmother......" Listening to the words of the two for a long time, Qi Younian suddenly screamed.

Qi Younian brought Ji Xiaotang to see Qin Min, hoping to introduce the two to each other, so that Qin Min would accept Ji Xiaotang and let them like each other. As a result, his wish was apparently fulfilled, and it went very well.

It's just that there is one shortcoming, that is, when these two people talk, they seem to have completely forgotten him.

Qi Younian was ignored for a long time, and he finally couldn't help it. Although the topic of these two people is mostly him.

Qin Min smiled.

"Ayou is jealous, but I don't know if I eat my grandmother's vinegar or Xiaotang's vinegar."

Qi Younian's careful thinking was broken. He wasn't embarrassed, he just laughed.

"I haven't been out of Jingci Nunnery for more than ten years." Qin Min suddenly sighed.

"Grandmother," without waiting for Qin Min to continue, Ji Xiaotang hurriedly spoke, "Ayou and I came to visit my grandmother, if my grandmother is willing." I also hope to come back often in the future and talk to my grandmother, so that I can live a day and a half. As for the rest. Ayou and I will figure it out ourselves, and my grandmother doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"You kid," Qin Min smiled, "I don't blame Ayou for liking you like you like this way." Orchid heart. And so thoughtful. ”

What else does Ji Xiaotang have to say. was stopped by Qin Min raising his hand.

"Ayou has mentioned you a long time ago, and I know Ayou's thoughts. If you don't ask me, don't I know your troubles? How could I sit idly by and ignore the two of you. I'm old, and I can fulfill your wishes and let my good grandson do it, what else am I not willing to do? ”

"Grandmother." Qi Younian knelt down in front of Qin Min and rested his head on Qin Min's lap. Although he never said. But it is undeniable that in his heart, he regards Qin Min as his last supporter.

Something else. He can bear it all by himself, but he really needs help with the matter of marrying Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Min understands him and loves him.

Qin Min raised his hand and rubbed Qi Younian's head and face.

"For so many years, Ayo has never begged me for anything. Only this one. Xiaotang, Ayou really likes you to the core. In the future, you will be good to Ayou and take care of Ayou for me. ”

"Grandmother, rest assured, Ayou and I will take care of each other until we are old." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Well, I'm relieved that you kid is talking." Qin Min nodded and stretched out his hand to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang knelt beside Qi Younian.

Qin Min rubbed Qi Younian with one hand and Ji Xiaotang with the other, with a smile of relief on his face.

"Grandmother is in charge of this for you!"

"Thank you, grandmother."

Qin Min pulled the two of them up.

"That Changning, I know her. The temperament is not good, the arrogance is very arrogant, and the length is ugly, but the toad wants to eat swan meat, and thinks about my family Ayou to be her concubine. With me, I wouldn't have let her get her wish. If you want to suppress people with power, what about the princess, what about the queen mother, we are mighty and martial, no one can bully us! ”

These few words, Qin Min said full of anger and impassioned.

is worthy of being the eldest princess of Great Qin, the old lady of the mighty Marquis.

Ji Xiaotang liked Qin Min's momentum, and even secretly thought in his heart that when she and Ayou were old in the future, would she become like this.

After finishing the business, Qin Min left the two of them to eat.

The two had been out for a long time, but they didn't want to leave, so they glanced at each other and agreed.

No matter what, Qin Min is in charge of everything.

Mama Kong took someone to arrange the meal, and Qin Min continued to talk to Ji Xiaotang, saying that Qi Younian told her how Ji Xiaotang could write poetry and writing, and knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"I just saw my grandmother's painting, so I'll make a fool of myself in front of my grandmother." Ji Xiaotang walked to the table and wrote a word under the gaze of Qin Min and Qi Younian.

"The summer is long, and the years are quiet."

This is Ji Xiaotang's thoughts today, and it is also her expectation for the future.

Qin Min looked at Ji Xiaotang's words repeatedly and nodded again and again.

"The words are good, the meaning is better." Qin Min raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang, "After so many years, today is my happiest day." Can Xiaotang give me this pair? ”

"I want to give it to my grandmother, as long as my grandmother doesn't dislike it." Ji Xiaotang said with a natural smile.

"Okay, okay." Qin Min was very happy, and asked people to put away the words well, saying that they would hang them in her bedroom, so that they could be seen all the time, and then said to Ji Xiaotang, "I won't take your things for nothing, just give you that painting." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Ji Xiaotang gladly accepted.

The food over there was already ready, and he came over to ask Qin Min where he wanted to put the rice, and Qin Min was about to speak, when he heard a commotion outside.

The nunnery is a pure place, not to mention that the Jingci Nunnery is also a place for Qin Min to retreat. Ji Xiaotang has been here for half a day, and the nunnery is very quiet, and this sudden noise is too unusual.

"It seems to be...... Someone broke in. After listening carefully, Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly.

The first time she came to Jingci'an, she was not familiar with all the places, but she could detect it, not to mention Qin Min and Qi Younian.

Qi Younian had a surprised look on his face, and he heard a familiar voice that annoyed him.

"It's Changning, why is she here?!"

Ji Xiaotang also heard Changning's voice, and got closer and closer.

This can't help but make her think of Changning's forced entry into Xinhua Hall, could it be that Changning found the traces of her and Qi Younian and led people to break into Jingci Nunnery?

Thinking so, Qi Younian had already got up with a calm face and went outside. He would never allow anyone to offend Qin Min, the other party was Changning, and he couldn't do it more and more.

"Grandmother......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Min and asked Qin Min what he meant with his eyes.

"Xiaotang, I haven't seen Changning for many years. You come with me to see ......, this little princess is ...... magnificent," Qin Min said to Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Min made up his mind to make up his mind for Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian, and showed the relationship between the two in front of Changning.

Ji Xiaotang was not prepared in her heart, and it could not be said that she was not looking forward to this day, but this day came earlier than she expected.

But after all, it was what he was looking forward to, Ji Xiaotang hesitated slightly, then nodded and followed Qin Min outside.

came from outside, and it was really Changning.

Changning naturally didn't come alone, she was followed by a team of Imperial Forest Army, as well as a few lieutenants and palace maids in the palace. These people were obviously not invited in, and the process of getting in was quite uneventful.

And Changning was standing in front of everyone, and was stopped outside the house by Qi Younian, and he was confronting Qi Younian.

Seeing Qin Min and Ji Xiaotang coming out, some people who served in Jingci Nunnery rushed forward.

Mama Kong was also among them, her sideburns were scattered, and the blood marks on her forehead were the thickness of her fingers, which were already red and swollen.

Changning was holding a whip in his hand, and the other end of the whip was in Qi Younian's hand.
