Chapter 327: I Almost Became Your Mother
Qiu Keyin was wearing a simple student uniform of the Republic of China, a blue shirt, a black skirt, and a pair of cloth shoes, and was happily jumping on the somewhat uneven bluestone road at this time.
The two of them crossed an alley and came to a wide street, which was a crossroads, where teahouses and restaurants were located, and on the left hand side of Qin Xuan, about fifty meters away, there was a majestic gate with this sign hanging on itβ'Qiufu'.
"Wow. β
Looking at Qiu Keyin's door, how to say it, Qin Xuan felt that it seemed to be more contemporary than his family, and putting the two together, it was the difference between a young entrepreneur and a century-old store, of course, it was not in terms of financial resources, it just gave people the feeling that the Qiu family had a big family heritage.
"Brother Qin has arrived, this is my home. Qiu Keyin let go of Qin Xuan's hand, and then stepped forward and pushed the door open, the Qiu family didn't have any housekeepers or anything like that, anyway, they just opened the door casually: "Mom, Mom, look who's coming!"
As soon as Qin Xuan crossed the threshold, he heard Qiu Keyin's melodious cry like a yellow warbler, which made Qin Xuan inexplicably a little embarrassed, he looked behind him and found that there were not many people on the spacious snow-white avenue, so he quickly closed the two doors: "I always feel a little ashamed, but fortunately no one heard." β
"What do you look like!"
At this time, a mature woman wearing a blue dress who looked less than thirty years old walked out, she first glared at Qiu Keyin, only to see the latter sticking out her tongue playfully, and then looked at Qin Xuan, it was also at this moment that the woman trembled, and a trace of tears appeared in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed this feeling: "Are you here?"
The woman's voice was very soft, faintly hoarse, she looked at Qin Xuan's face in a daze, the familiar and unfamiliar feeling made her a little sad in her nostalgia.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Okra Yu realized that Qin Xuan was a guest of their house: "Come in, come and sit in the house." β
The layout of the Qiu family's house is very similar to Qin Xuan's house, they are all two-story buildings connected by cornices corridors, but unlike Qin Xuan's house, the decoration of the Qiu family is relatively simple, although there are also things like lights, but it always gives Qin Xuan a feeling in a TV series.
Qin Xuan sat in the guest's seat, and soon saw okra rain walking in with tea, Qin Xuan hurriedly got up: "Auntie, I'll just come by myself." β
"It's okay," Okra Rain smiled, "You're a guest." β
"Well, thank you. β
Qin Xuan was a little restrained, but there was no way to do it, after all, it was the first time he came to someone else's house as a guest, and the okra rain was also the first time he had seen it, but the impression of okra rain on Qin Xuan was very good, gentle, elegant, generous, and the appearance was also quite amazing, but the beauty of okra rain was dignified, and people couldn't have evil thoughts.
"You just called me Auntie?"
"Uh... β
Otherwise, Qiu Keyin's mother is called Auntie, what's the problem?
Don't you want to call your sister?
It's kind of scary!
Qin Xuan: "I... Isn't it the right call?"
"Of course not!" Okra Yu smiled: "I am like a brother and sister to your father, and you call me aunt, although it is a little strange, but there is nothing wrong with it." β
Qin Xuan had heard about the relationship between Qin Qixian and Okra Rain from Old Man Qiu, and remembered that when Qin Shou'an passed away, Qin Xuan's father was only five or six years old, at such an age, even if he was an ignorant child in the world of demon painters, and the person who adopted Qin Qixian at that time and protected him to grow up safely under the watchful eyes of the great powers was Old Man Qiu.
Old Man Qiu is Qin Moshan's proud protΓ©gΓ© and has been taken care of a lot, so Old Man Qiu respects Qin Moshan very much.
However, when Qin Moshan died, Old Man Qiu was forced to pay homage due to the situation, which has always been an unknown pain for Old Man Qiu, and after that, Old Man Qiu was Qin Wuya's teacher, and he had always supported his policies during Qin Wuya's lifetime, Qin Shou'an was also a student of Old Man Qiu, as for the last Qin Qixian, he was regarded by him as his own son, and the degree of love even surpassed that of his eldest son Qiu Chongbo, which also made Qiu Chongbo dissatisfied with his father when he was young.
The relationship between the Qiu family and the Qin family is really extraordinary, Qin Xuan's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are all students of Old Man Qiu.
Moreover, Qin Wuya and Qin Shou'an also lived in the Qiu family for many years when they were children, so in the world of demon painters, Qin Qiu has never been separated.
"Aunt Qiu," Qin Xuan asked, "with my dad... β
Qin Xuan knew that Old Man Qiu was originally going to marry Okra Rain to his father, and he also knew that they were childhood sweethearts, but after so many years, Qin Xuan was also worried about whether Okra Rain would hate him, but now it seems that Okra Rain not only does not hate Qin Xuan, but loves Wu and Wu, and loves him quite much.
Okra Yu guessed what Qin Xuan wanted to ask, only to hear her say bluntly: "I almost became your mother." β
Qin Xuan: "γγγγγγ β
"That, Aunt Qiu," Qin Xuan was a little embarrassed for a while, is it really good for you to be so direct: "I heard that the Qiu family is a scholarly family." β
"That's right. β
Qin Xuan: "Then, are you too direct?"
You have to at least cover it up, but you don't make any roundabouts and just say it!
"I'm just kidding," Okra Rain laughed, "Are you serious?"
"Uh... β
"But I have a really good relationship with Period String, and," Okra Yu gently stroked Qin Xuan's forehead with her hand, and said with emotion: "You really look like Period String." β
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Without waiting for Qin Xuan's reaction, Okra Yu hurriedly took the tray and prepared to leave, and said before leaving: "Don't be so restrained, just treat this place as your home." After speaking, Okra Yu walked out, leaving only Qin Xuan, who didn't quite understand.
After a while, Qiu Keyin appeared outside the door, only to see her quietly poke her head in, and only after making sure that there was no one inside, did she walk in.
Qin Xuan looked at her actions and felt a little funny inexplicably: "I said, this is your home, how can it be the same as being a thief?"
"Isn't that a good thing for fear of disturbing my mother!"
Qin Xuan: "γγγγγγ β
'Are you hinting at me something? you must be hinting at me!'
"What else is your family and mine," Qiu Keyin sat on the seat next to Qin Xuan: "Grandpa said, Brother Qin, your family grew up here from Qin Wuya's generation, Brother Qin, do you know what this means?"
"What does that mean?"
"This is your hometown!" Qiu Keyin said: "So many generations spent their childhood here, and only when they grew up did they go out to wander, according to my grandfather, this is the return of fallen leaves!"
What Qiu Keyin said is actually true.
The Qiu family has taken care of so many generations of the Qin family, and now that Qin Xuan is back here, there is indeed a feeling that a wanderer has returned to his hometown and returned to his roots.
"Otherwise, Brother Qin, don't leave, just live here. β
Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that your purpose is here!"
"Don't refuse so quickly, everything can be discussed!" It's a pity that no matter what Qiu Keyin said behind him, Qin Xuan just went out, and then began to walk around the courtyard, to be honest, Qin Xuan also wanted to know what kind of place where so many generations of his ancestors spent their childhood, and Qiu Keyin on the side also acted as a guide, introducing Qin Xuan to every corner of the Qiu family's mansion.
And in the other corner of the Qiu family's mansion that Qin Xuan and Qiu Keyin didn't know, in a quiet room, a silver-haired woman was sitting at her desk and opened a small box that had been dusty for many years, and the box was stuffed with envelopes, all of which were sent back by Qin Wuya and Qin Shou'an, who had left here back then.
"I have read every letter here many times," the silver-haired woman said, looking at every word of the letter, angry, sad, helpless, or frightened, she could feel the feelings of the two children as they wrote the letters: "Every time I look at them, it seems as if the boundless and the shore are still with us." β
Qin Wuya's age is not much different from Old Man Qiu, Old Man Qiu is only thirty years older than him, because Qin Moshan was persecuted back then, when Qiu Qinian adopted Qin Wuya, he was only less than forty years old.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Qin Wuya left, Qin Shou'an also passed away, and Qin Qixian, who had been waiting, could never come back.
"It's a pity that there is no letter from Qin Qixian... β
Listening to his wife's words and feeling the grief in her heart, Old Man Qiu, who was standing behind her, put his hand on her shoulder: "I didn't send the letter back, but his child is back." β
"I know. The figure of the silver-haired woman gradually faded, she gently put her hand on the hand of the old man Qiu, and finally turned into a little silver light and disappeared into the study: "We have seen him together... β
The silver-haired woman is the life of the old man Qiu, but compared to those demon painters who are competitive and like to fight and kill, the old man Qiu has always been known to the world as a scholar, almost no one knows what kind of existence his life is, even his biological son Qiu Chongbo, and the ancestors of Qin Xuan, who have been fostered in the Qiu family for three generations, do not know.
They have all seen the silver-haired woman, and they also know that the silver-haired woman is the birth and wife of Old Man Qiu, but what kind of mountain and sea beast she is, and what kind of power she has, maybe no one will ever know.
Old Man Qiu doesn't need to fight, so her strength may not be used until she dies.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you wait for me, over there, it's my grandfather's study," as he was talking, Qiu Keyin suddenly saw Old Man Qiu: "Eh, grandpa, are you there?"
"What are these words, what do you mean by me!"
Old Man Qiu didn't care about Qiu Keyin's words, he ** his granddaughter's head, and then saw Qin Xuan: "This is the first time we've met, Boy Xuan." β
"Uh, heh, really, old man. β
Although Old Man Qiu was often slapped in the face by Qin Xuan, he was not really pedantic, or in other words, Old Man Qiu actually enjoyed being slapped in the face by Qin Xuan, which gave him the illusion of the joy of his grandson.
