Chapter 247: Rainy Night (3)
Today's second update. Continue to ask for tickets. And there is a change at night, thank you for your support
=======================================================
In the middle of the night, there were only two masters and servants in the house, and the piano did not shirk, sat on half of the embroidery pier, and said: "The slave and maid have only heard other mothers-in-law talk about it once or twice, I don't know if I remember it." ”
There is usually no big mistake in asking about the qin, and if she is not sure, she will not talk nonsense.
Zhen Xuan knew her temperament, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you talk to me first." ”
Bang Qin nodded and said: "The husband's family of the sixth aunt in the fourth room seems to be surnamed Qin, and the sixth aunt's mother-in-law died early, and the stepmother went to the north with her father to do business. Mrs. Liugu was not close to her stepmother and refused to go, so she stayed in Yongzhou. When our old lady left the palace and returned home, the two of them were particularly close to each other, and when the old ancestor saw this, he asked the old lady to raise Mrs. Liugu, and even the marriage was carefully picked by the old lady for her. ”
Bang Qin paused when she said this, and she still remembered the expressions of the mothers-in-law when they talked about it, and they all said that Mrs. Zheng had no daughter, and choosing a son-in-law for her niece in the next room was like choosing a son-in-law for herself, and she worked hard; On the contrary, it was Mrs. He, although she took great pains to marry Xia Suqing, her grandson, but she went to an unbelievable place.
These gossips, Wan Qin did not mention them to Zhen Xuan, but only continued to talk about the sixth aunt's wife.
Mrs. Zheng was reluctant to marry Mrs. Liugu, and finally chose the Qin family in Luzhou.
The Qin family is a scholarly heirloom, and the old lady Qin has been an official for several years. The official style is clean and the popularity is also good. Unexpectedly, his father died early. After three years of worry, he did not go out again, but stayed in Luzhou to take care of his mother, set up a school, and became a mountain chief.
The school is very famous in the vicinity of Luzhou, and the students have been in and out of Jinshi, which has added to its reputation.
Mrs. Zheng married Mrs. Liugu to the second son of Mrs. Qin, and it was a five- or six-day journey between Yongzhou and Luzhou. It's pretty convenient.
When Xia Yiqing married Zhen Xuan, the mother of the old lady Qin had just passed away, and the sixth aunt was filial piety, so it was inconvenient to go out, and it was unlucky to come over, so she didn't come to eat the wedding wine.
Qin Bochen, who fell drunk on the street tonight, is the only son of Mrs. Liugu, who is not yet seventeen, but he doesn't know why he quietly went from Luzhou to Yongzhou, drank so much wine, and was drunk on the street.
It's a loss that I used to come to Yongzhou often. Let someone recognize it and send it to the Xia Mansion, otherwise wouldn't you have to sleep all night in the heavy rain on the street?
Listen to the piano. Zhen Xuan also somewhat understood why Dayjin would come in a hurry to report.
Mrs. Liugu and Mrs. Zheng have always been close, and Qin Bochen and Xia Yiqing are also very familiar, and this kind of thing did not dare to drag on, so they came overnight.
Zhen Xuan listened to the sound of rain for a while, and couldn't help worrying: "Come here so late, Dayjin is running, right?" There is no car, and the second master will get wet when he goes to the outer courtyard. This weather ......"
Bang Qin said with relief: "Grandma, the young master is drunk in the rain, and the outer courtyard must have prepared ginger soup, and a doctor has also been invited." When the second master arrives over there, there is ginger soup to ward off the cold, and then he changes into clean clothes, which should be fine. ”
Zhen Xuan knew that what the piano said was reasonable, but she couldn't rest assured, so she leaned on the pillow and flipped through the book: "I'll wait for the second master to come back, if you are sleepy, go and lie down for a while." ”
Wan Qin shook her head and took the needle and thread: "The slave and maid accompany grandma." ”
Zhen Xuan knew her character, so she didn't persuade her.
After Yinzheng, it was still dark outside, but there was gradually the sound of footsteps in the yard.
Zhen Xuan's mind was swollen when she read the book, and only then did she move her body slightly, and her waist was so sore that she frowned.
Last night, Xia Yiqing felt sorry for Zhen Xuan, she didn't really hurt her, but Zhen Xuan didn't sleep enough, and she nested on the couch for more than an hour, how could she not hurt.
Bang Qin hurriedly put down the things in his hand and came over to rub them for Zhen Xuan. The strength of the piano is just right, it is very comfortable, Zhen Xuan is sleepy unconsciously, and her eyelids are fighting, Xia Yiqing is back.
The rain hasn't stopped yet, but it's already much lighter, Xia Yiqing is wearing a rain hat, and the clothes inside are only wet at the corners of the clothes.
Seeing that Zhen Xuan hadn't slept all night, Xia Yiqing pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you sleep a little longer?" ”
Zhen Xuan took clean clothes from the cage and said, "I can't sleep after I wake up." The second master wants to rest for a while? ”
"Even if you can't sleep, isn't it more comfortable to lie in bed than on a couch?" Xia Yiqing glanced at the Western clock and said, "Don't stop, I still have to listen to Fengyuan to say goodbye." ”
In the past, Xia Yiqing and Zhen Xuan generally slept until the beginning of the year, cleaned up and went to listen to Fengyuan.
I prepared early today, and I arrived earlier than usual.
Mrs. Zheng hadn't freshened up properly, and the two sat in the east room for a while, and then Mrs. Zheng asked Liao's mother and Yuzhu to help her out.
"What? Can't sleep with the sound of rain? Mrs. Zheng saw that both of them looked like they were not sleeping enough, and quipped.
Xia Yiqing stepped forward to help Mrs. Zheng and explained, "The fifth child of the Qin family is here. ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly asked, "Bochen is here?" Why is it so sudden, and there is no message. Where are the others? ”
When I heard Xia Yiqing talk about the night, the joy on Mrs. Zheng's face disappeared completely, and she was faintly annoyed: "Why is this kid so ignorant, if he doesn't come back to Yongzhou to ask for peace, why is he still drunk outside!" It's a loss that someone sent it back. He'll be here in a moment, and I'll talk about him. ”
Zheng followed the eldest master into the house, heard this, and said: "Bochen probably sneaked out, the sixth aunt doesn't know how anxious to be in Luzhou, Yiqing, I will send a letter to the Qin family in a while, saying that Bochen is here with us, so that the sixth aunt can rest assured." ”
Xia Yiqing nodded and said, "It's already written, and I asked someone to send it to Luzhou quickly." ”
Old Mrs. Zheng was angry in her heart, but she was also worried about Qin Bochen's body, and when she heard Xia Yiqing say that she was okay and didn't suffer from any cold, she breathed a sigh of relief: "In the end, it's a young man, if you change an old man and an old lady like us, you won't have to get sick." ”
Qin Bochen's wine didn't wake up until the evening, rubbing his head and screaming in pain, and called Xia Yiqing to give him a lecture.
After drinking the sobering soup, Qin Bochen asked Xia Yiqing to escort him, and went to the Immortal Residence to kowtow to the ancestor first.
The old ancestor listened to his absurd behavior, pointed at Qin Bochen, stared at him for a while, and couldn't get angry, so he could only wave his hand and say: "That's it, the affairs of young people, I can't take care of an old woman, you have your own Qin family lesson when you go back to Luzhou." These days, I will stay in the house obediently, and I am not allowed to mess around. Yiqing, you show him to me. ”
Then I went to Tingfeng Yuan.
When Mrs. Zheng saw Qin Bochen, she saw that his face was full of tiredness, his beard was untangled, and she stomped her feet angrily: "What do you look like!" Don't clean up yet! Yi Qing is the same, how can he let him go to see the ancestor like this. ”
Qin Bochen has always respected Mrs. Zheng, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he asked Liao's mother to lead him to clean up, and when he came in again, although his eyes were still dull, he always looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man.
Zhen Xuan looked at Qin Bochen, his figure was slightly taller than his peers, I don't know if it was because drinking had damaged his qi and blood, his complexion looked extremely white, his eyebrows were like ink, his facial features were handsome, if he was more energetic, he would be a handsome son.
Mrs. Zheng was also angry, and when she looked at him with a weak look, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's not that I want to talk about you, why did you make yourself like this?" When your mother saw it, she didn't know how sad she was. ”
Qin Bochen hung his head and did not speak.
Old Mrs. Zheng straightened Qin Bochen's clothes and sighed: "Since you have come to Yongzhou, you will stay at your grandmother's house, and come back and tell me what happened." ”
Qin Bochen replied in a low voice, indicating that he had heard.
When Mrs. Zheng saw this, she didn't say much, and asked him to meet Zhen Xuan, which can be regarded as a confession.
Qin Bochen stayed for seven or eight days, and asked many times around the house around the corner, but before he could ask a result, Mrs. Liugu rushed to Yongzhou.
Zhen Xuan counted the days, and Mrs. Liugu was afraid that she would hurry on the road as soon as she received the letter, and came day and night.
As soon as Mrs. Liugu entered the door, she didn't care about going up to greet her ancestors, she went directly to Tingfeng Garden, and when she saw Qin Bochen who was dejected, she was so anxious that she almost tripped her feet in her long skirt, and pounced on her and said, "My son!" You're going to scare my mother to death! ”
Mrs. Liugu hugged Qin Bochen and cried, and then she was helped into the house. The jade brick brought the basin of water, and Mrs. Liugu went to the hairpin ring to clean her face, and sat down under Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng took a closer look at Mrs. Liugu, and her memory was clearly still in the appearance of a girl with bright red makeup in the year of her marriage, even if she went back to her parents' house several times after marriage, she did not dilute that impression, but when she looked at it again, it was probably because she was in a hurry, and the corners of her eyes crawled with fine lines, and the whole person was weak and had no strength.
Mrs. Zheng took Mrs. Liugu's hand and sighed, "What the hell is going on?" I asked Bochen, but he didn't want to say a word. ”
Mrs. Liugu's eyes were full of tears again, she glanced at Qin Bochen, there was resentment and helplessness in her tone, and said, "I don't know who this stubborn temper is." ”
Qin Bochen seemed unwilling to listen to the elders say these things, got up and saluted, and withdrew.
Mrs. Liugu watched Qin Bochen's figure disappear outside the curtain, her heart tightened for a while, and she said to Mrs. Zheng: "Uncle, I am just this one son, I am real...... Ay! ”
Mrs. Liugu raised her hand to wipe her tears, glanced at Zhen Xuan, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng introduced: "This is Yiqing's daughter-in-law. ”
Zhen Xuan got up and saluted, Mrs. Liugu squeezed out a smile, took off a jade bracelet from her hand, and said: "I didn't come when I got married, but I saw it this time, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift, so this bracelet should be used as a gift." ”
Zhen Xuan looked at Mrs. Zheng, and when she saw her bowing slightly, she thanked her and accepted the bracelet.
Mrs. Liugu could see that Old Lady Zheng didn't mind talking about Qin Bochen in front of Zheng and Zhen Xuan, so she sighed and started from the beginning.
