No.274 Prepare for a long journey

Since the day Zhou Boyan left, Qingshu began to arrange for his entry into Beijing.

A trip to and from the capital is not something that can be done in three or five or ten days, but at least a month. If you have to leave for so long, many things inside and outside the house will naturally have to be arranged in all aspects. As for the question of whether to take Hao into Beijing, the final decision can be made before departure.

The days slowly and leisurely turn page after page. Qingyang and they should have taken a vacation, but Qingshu talked to Mr. Lu once, which made Qingyang's vacation delayed.

As for Shen Yuehua, she still refused to take a step out of the door, and stayed in the room alone all day long and didn't come out.

Qing Shu felt that this was too dangerous, and was worried that Shen Yuehua would be bored in the room alone for a long time, and she would be cranky, unable to think about it, and would do something stupid. Therefore, while Qingshu was worried about the long journey, he did not forget to go to Shen Yuehua's house every day to sit. She is responsible for asking questions or finding a topic, and Shen Yuehua follows her question or topic and writes some words to respond. Slowly, Qing Shu discovered something.

Shen Yuehua had no sense of security and was extremely easily frightened. She seems to care about disfigurement very much, her mind is too sensitive, and she always turns her face slightly to face Qing Shu, and does not show the disfigured right half of her face in front of others. Also, she likes to read and embroider, and she doesn't seem to have any other hobbies after that.

The strange thing is that she doesn't like people other than Qingshu to enter her room. Every day, not to mention cleaning her room, the maids who serve tea and water, and deliver three meals a day have to stop outside the door. She'll take it from the door and bring it in herself. After that, she brought it out to the maid waiting outside.

Qing Shu was a little worried, and racked his brains to make Shen Yuehua happy. It's just that she thinks she doesn't have the talent to tell jokes and make people happy, and she doesn't have the ability to confide in her sister, so she can only start with Shen Yuehua's hobby. That's the book and the embroidery.

On this day, Qing Shu borrowed three poetry books from Mr. Lu, and brought Xiao Shengge, who was temporarily unattended, and went to Shen Yuehua's side together.

Qing Shu asked the attendant to stop outside, and lightly tapped the door frame twice, "Sister Shen, can I go in?" ”

Shen Yuehua, who was crying silently, hurriedly wiped away her tears, stabilized her feelings, and then went over to open the door.

Qing Shu smiled and said, "This is the sheng song of the gentleman's family." My husband and wife are not feeling well, so I will take care of him for the time being. Can I take him in? She saw that Shen Yuehua had cried, but she didn't break it, she just didn't know.

Sheng Ge stood at Qing Shu's feet, grabbing Qing Shu's skirt with a small hand, and was looking up at Shen Yuehua curiously at this moment.

Shen Yuehua met his dark eyes, was stunned, and stepped back.

Qing Shu is clear, this is the meaning of please. She brought Sheng Ge inside, and then handed the three poetry books in her hand to Shen Yuehua, "This is borrowed from Mr., I don't know if you like it or not?" ”

Shen Yuehua took the book and quickly read the title of the book on the cover, with a faint look of joy on her face.

When Qing Shu saw it, he didn't break it, but hugged Xiao Shengge to the chair and sat down, and then sat down himself.

Shen Yuehua put down the book, and after walking around the room a few times, her eyes lit up, and she brought half a plate of snacks. With a shallow smile on her face, she handed the dim sum to Sheng Ge, and made a gesture with her free hand to grab the dim sum and put it in her mouth, signaling Sheng Ge to eat.

Qing Shu hid her surprised look, looked at Sheng Ge, who was staring straight at Shen Yuehua, and said, "Sheng Ge, take the snack, thank you sister." ”

Sheng Ge listened, stretched out two little hands to hold the dim sum plate, and thanked him softly, "Thank you, sister." ”

Shen Yuehua gestured without thanks, and then sat down on the embroidery pier by herself. She seemed to have forgotten to hide the right half of her face, and her attention was not on Qing Shu at all, she just stared at Sheng Ge, with a little tenderness in her eyes.

Qing Shu was very surprised by this. She thoughtfully took the dim sum plate that Sheng Ge was holding, put it on the table, and pinched a piece of the dim sum on the plate for Sheng Ge to eat.

Sheng Ge's attention left Shen Yuehua. He held the snack in his two small hands and bit it bit and ate it, looking a little cute.

In addition to the gentle color in Shen Yuehua's eyes, there was a little more smile.

"You like kids?" Qing Shu asked directly.

Immediately, Shen Yuehua's body tensed, and a look of defensiveness flashed in her eyes when she looked at Qing Shu.

Qing Shu pretended not to know, and reached out to touch Shengge's head with a smile, "I like cute children, like Shengge, very well-behaved and cute." ”

Sheng Ge listened to it and smiled at Qing Shu.

Shen Yuehua was stunned, took a piece of charcoal from the paper on the table and burned from the branch, wrote down a line of words, and held it up to Qing Shu to see. "I have a younger brother, and I've held him, when he's a baby. Three years have passed, and it is estimated to be as big as Shengge. ”

"I guess it's as cute as Shengge." Qing Shu said naturally.

An obvious smile crept up on Shen Yuehua's face and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Biao Shu's statement.

On this day, Qing Shu accidentally opened a corner of Shen Yuehua's heart, made Shen Yuehua, who had been dull for many days, smile, and made Shen Yuehua feel a lot more energetic. At this time, she didn't know that Shen Yuehua's three-and-a-half-year-old brother was not cute at all, he was just a spoiled bad boy who was very bad. Not long after, it was this three-and-a-half-year-old child who would hurt Shen Yuehua's heart heavily and almost killed Shen Yuehua's life.

After sitting for an hour or so, Qing Shu took Sheng Ge to say goodbye.

Shen Yuehua sent them off, and unexpectedly stepped out of the door, and stood in the courtyard gate to watch them go away.

Qing Shu bent down and gently pinched Sheng Ge's fleshy little face, "Sheng Ge has made a great contribution today!" When I go back, my sister will bring you something delicious. ”

Sheng Ge said hello softly and began to run up and down.

Qing Shu smiled and walked after him, and after a while, he returned to his residence.

Su's mother, who had been waiting for a while, greeted her, "Miss, you're back!" ”

Qing Shu responded, told Xiaoya to look at Dian Shengge, and then took Su's mother into the house. Sitting down, she wiped the fine sweat from the corners of her forehead with a handkerchief and asked, "Is Aqin okay?" The weather is hot, and she is pregnant with Liujia, how uncomfortable it is to be hot at this time! ”

"Miss Xie cares. She can eat and sleep, and there is nothing uncomfortable. When the old slave came out, she was eating a red fruit that was only a little red, and the old slave was sour in his mouth. "The red fruit is only a little red, and it is a sour person who can't stand it. But her daughter-in-law Chen Qin is good at this, and the young lady is willing to let her daughter-in-law pick and eat it casually.

Qing Shu smiled, "Mother Su, looking at her acid-loving energy, won't she be pregnant with a male baby?" ”

Su's mother smiled, "I don't dare to say this." If the child doesn't land, who knows if it's a man or a woman? However, while being happy, I don't forget the rules, "Miss, the words of a boy and a girl are not what a little girl should say." You can say it in front of the old slave, but you must not say it in front of outsiders. ”

Qing Shu agreed kindly, "Okay." ”

"Miss, the old slave came here to report something." Su's mother said to look left and right, but she didn't say anything.

Qing Shu understood, and motioned for the three maids who were waiting in front of him to go out.

Mother Su reported it at this time, and her voice was very low, "Aunt Ying came here and whispered two things to the old slave. The first thing was that the eldest lady was packing her bags, saying that she would move her family to Majia Village, thirty miles away, in five days. The second thing is that the eldest lady gave Miss Li a promise to the younger generations of her cousin's family on her mother's side. When they move to Majia Village and settle down, they will pick a day to marry Miss Li. ”

Qing Shu snorted and didn't say anything else. But I was thinking in my heart that the matter of Guli had dragged on for too long. If Ma doesn't act, Gu Li's belly will get bigger, and it won't look good. Regarding Gu Li's pregnancy, Ma thought she was hiding it, but in fact, she already knew about it.

Ma had secretly taken Gu Li to see the doctor. The members of her beggar gang were not given for nothing, they kept an eye on people, and naturally noticed their movements, and reported them to her in time. So, she asked the housekeeper to check. Soon, the housekeeper found out Gu Li's physical condition from the doctor who diagnosed Gu Li's pulse, and Gu Li was pregnant.

Not only that, but her subordinates also found out the name of the biological father of the child in Gu Li's womb, Ma Chuang. Who are you talking about? It turned out to be the son of a cousin on the Ma family's side, and he was a bastard who specialized in cheating and cheating. Ma Chuang saw Gu Li once, and he fell in love with Gu Li, who was dressed as a young lady. So, he offered his hospitality to Gu Li, who was not married, and naturally he was courteous behind Ma's back.

Gu Li was thinking about Zhou Boyan, so he naturally looked down on a bastard in the countryside. However, in order to escape from Ma's control, Gu Li took advantage of Ma Chuang's infatuation with her, and she asked Ma Chuang to help her escape from home and help her escape from Kangxi Town.

Ma Chuang wanted to marry Gu Li, and knew that the Ma family would not give Gu Li to him, so he had a crooked mind. Because of his crooked thoughts, he helped Gu Li escape home. Out of the town, Gu Li immediately turned his face and was about to throw off his horse and go north. Ma Chuang is not allowed, and he has his own careful thoughts, and he also said his admiration.

Gu Li scolded him for some unpleasant things, such as shamelessness, such as a toad wanting to eat swan meat, etc., and also stated that he was not a powerful family and would not marry. The horse was angry and strengthened Gu Li. Afterwards, he regained his senses and was frightened enough. So he left Gu Li, who was looking for death and life, and fled in a hurry. This is the reason why when everyone braved the rain to find Gu Li back, Gu Li was disheveled.

Later, Ma Chuang invited the elders of the family to come to the door, asked Ma to marry Gu Li, and revealed the fact that the raw rice was cooked and cooked. Ma was furious, but sensibly asked the Ma family to shut up and not allow them to reveal the matter. She felt that, no matter what, her daughter should not marry a bastard who had nothing to do. The Ma family was at a loss, and the elders taught Ma Chuang a lesson and forced down the matter. However, Ma found out that Gu Li was pregnant. In this way, Ma had no way to retreat and was forced into a corner.

Su's mother didn't know the twists and turns, "Miss, Miss Li is too good at tossing." If you marry well, if you marry out earlier, you won't be able to affect Miss's reputation anymore. The eldest lady understood once this time and did one thing right. ”

Qing Shu shook his head, "Mother Su, Ma understands it, better than anyone else." She would choose to marry Gu Li at this time, not for the sake of my reputation, but to maintain the reputation of her eldest son. If something happens to Gu Li again, tarnishing the reputation of the Gu family, will Gu Qingjia, who went to Jinyang City to participate in the Autumn Festival, still have a future? "Even if there is no such thing as Gu Li's pregnancy, the Ma family will marry Gu Li in a hurry for the future of the eldest son, and it will be before the autumn exam.

Mother Su listened to what Qing Shu said, and her face was angry, "Okay, it's all for their room, where is it for the reputation of the young lady!" This Yinggu thought she was a kind-hearted person, but she didn't know that she was this kind of person! She dared to open her eyes and say nonsense, saying that the eldest lady was afraid that Miss Li would stay for a long time, and another incident would affect Miss's reputation. , it's all. ”

"Mother Su, don't be angry. In the future, just listen to what they say in the room, don't take it seriously. Qing Shu saw that Su's mother's face had not improved, and said with a smile, "I'm going to be a grandmother, but I don't have to keep my face tight." What if this scares the child in Ah Qin's belly and gives birth to a crybaby? ”

Mother Su couldn't cry or laugh, "Miss, Miss, don't say this kind of thing again." Why does the girl's family talk about pregnancy and childbirth all day long? That's not right. After a few more words, she withdrew and went back to her own business.

Qing Shu was the only one left in the house. She fiddled with the lid of the teacup in her hand and sneered.

Ma really didn't disappoint her, and the house fighting tricks hid needles in the middle, silently cleared a qiē obstacle, and completely controlled the people in the big house. Ma first paralyzed Gu Yunfu, and then packed up Gu Yunfu's two aunts and the children born to his aunt. After that, she divorced Gu Qingjia's wife in the name of unchastity, and let the next cousin roll out of the Gu family with the so-called wild seeds.

In this way, some things make sense. Gu Qingjia only recognized Hui'er as his own flesh and blood, but he ignored his son's existence, and he was full of disgust for his son's mother. Since he knew that his son was not his own, and his mother was also an unfaithful person, why didn't he divorce his wife early? It is estimated that Gu Yunfu will not let it. Now that Gu Yunfu is gone, Ma divorced his wife for him, and no one can say anything.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has begun. The fields were full of peasants working in their fields. In the hot autumn harvest season, Qingshu's trip to the capital is almost ready. At the same time, Zhou Boyan brought a letter from Beijing.

Qing Shu took the letter, a little nervous. Because, this letter will determine whether Hao can enter Beijing or not.
