Text Chapter 2 Sister-in-law

Bai Chun said very few words along the way, even if she was usually at home, Ye Qing couldn't say a few words a day with her, but after the two of them were separated from Lao Liu Tou and Li Heng for a short time today, Bai Chun, who was dressed in plain clothes, couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and asked indifferently: "When you told the two of them not to go to the third aunt's tavern just now, why did they look very strange?" ”

Ye Qing smiled and said: "It's not been a day or two that Old Liu Tou likes the third aunt, and before Li Heng and I were demoted to the forbidden army, the two of them were already eyebrows. You think, a widower and a widow, both of whom are only in their forties...... Uh, I'm sorry when I didn't say anything. At the end, Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun and glared at him with beautiful eyes, so he hurriedly stopped talking and stopped talking.

The atmosphere between the two became silent again, except for the footsteps of the two, and the noise and shouting from outside the shop from time to time.

After walking for a short time, Bai Chun seemed to have adjusted his mood, so he asked lightly again: "What is Li Heng doing then?" ”

Bai Chun lowered her eyes and walked forward, her long eyelashes flickering, coupled with her cheeks, which were as white as jade and amazing even without fat powder, made Ye Qing look in a daze from time to time.

It's just that this beautiful cheek rarely reveals other emotions, and basically what Ye Qing can see every day is an indifferent look like a dry well and no longer shocked.

"How to say it, Lao Liu Tou has liked the third aunt for many years, but because of the criticism and guidance of the neighbors, he didn't dare to talk to the third aunt directly, for fear of being poked in the back and saying that he was not ashamed. Li Heng likes Lao Liutou's three daughters, so in order to please Lao Liutou, he often takes Lao Liutou to the third aunt's tavern to ask for a drink. You also know that the third aunt has a son, who is the same age as the third daughter of Lao Liu Tou, and Lao Liu Tou wants to marry his third daughter to the son of the third aunt, so as to please the third aunt and make the third aunt happy. How can this Li Heng be capable, so he invited Lao Liu Tou to drink, in addition to currying favor with Lao Liu Tou and letting Lao Liu Tou see his sincerity, it was to stir up the matter of Lao Liu Tou using his three daughters to please the third aunt. In short, these two people have ghosts, and the third aunt and Lao Liutou's three daughters are caught in the middle and are in a dilemma. Ye Qing looked back behind him from time to time, making sure that Li Heng and Old Liu Tou had stopped the two golden men from following them.

Bai Chun listened to Ye Qing's chatter as he walked, and then nodded silently from time to time, as if telling Ye Qing that he had been listening to him. Ye Qing said these things, he has never inquired, although Li Heng often comes to the house to find his little uncle, but he has never spoken to that Li Heng, and when they meet on weekdays, they just nod slightly, even if they say hello.

Today, she took the initiative to talk to her brother-in-law for the first time, mainly because Ye Qing helped her solve the dilemma of being entangled by those two golden people just now, and she always felt that she should say something along the way, thank you, brother-in-law.

But she has always been cold-hearted, and she wanted to say thank you to her uncle in person, but she couldn't open her mouth, so after thinking about it, she said the doubts in her heart, and she took it as a thank you to Ye Qing for saving her just now.

With the rapid development of the economy in Lin'an City, the walls between the squares have long been demolished, so with the demolition of the walls, it is more and more convenient for people to walk the streets and alleys from the streets.

Ye Qing and Bai Chun's home is in the innermost part of Tonghuifang, compared to other ordinary houses, his family is already considered a wealthy family, there are three steps at the entrance that is not big, and there is a small stone lion on the left and right of the door.

But in Ye Qing's opinion, this pair of small stone lions, which are about the same size as poodles, look so funny at the door. There are two dark doors, scattered with a few copper nails, but the black paint on the façade that should have been bright and glowing has long been dull and mottled, just like the pair of lions cubs, telling people that this portal has begun to fall in the middle of the family.

Push open the door is a clear water shadow wall, the blue brick shadow wall is unpretentious, and there is no beauty and art form of the times, and the black two gates, as well as a few sparse copper nails, and the two small stone lions squatting at the door, is the only identity and status symbol of this family.

Bypassing the shadow wall is a small square courtyard that is not too big, except for two mulberry trees of some age and a well, and the pile of firewood at the foot of the wall, there is nothing else, and the whole is clean and tidy.

At the end of the small courtyard is a small two-story building nearly a foot higher than the foundation of the courtyard, which is where Bai Chun lives, and the three wings next to it are Ye Qing's room and the kitchen of this family.

Behind this house, which is not too big and has a fairly decent layout, is the river that runs north and south in Lin'an City: the Yanqiao River.

During the day, the river is still extremely busy and lively, and the endless flow of large and small boats shuttles across the Yanqiao River, from behind his small building or to the north to the direction of Genshan Gate, and then merge into the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, or continue south to the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, and then pass through the entire Imperial Palace to converge into the Qiantang River.

And it intersects with another river in Lin'an City: Xiaoshi River, which runs through another: Qinghu River, and the three rivers form the waterway in Lin'an City extending in all directions.

Ye Qing's home faces the river in the east and north, so Tonghuifang is also named after it. In particular, their home is cleaner than other places because it faces the river on both sides, but it is much more lively than other people's homes outside, after all, it is next to two busy and lively rivers.

Since Ye Qing came to this world, Bai Chun had only climbed to the second floor once before marrying into the Ye family. So in the next two months, even the first floor, he was able to enter when he was worshipping his cheap brother Ye Hong, and the second floor became Bai Chun's private space alone.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Bai Chun, who was dressed in plain clothes, took off the cloth wrapped around his head, and instantly a black and bright hair sprinkled down like a waterfall, reaching Bai Chun's buttocks, under the sunlight, the hair that was still shaking and the tall back, exuding a mysterious and unique charm, as if it was a beautiful fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Ye Qing couldn't understand it, he wasn't even married by Ye Hongming, but Bai Chun, who was married, why he still stubbornly married into the Ye family after Ye Hong's death, and then wore plain clothes to keep Ye Hong's filial piety and widowhood.

"You have to continue to work on an errand today, now that I'm home, you can go over quickly, don't let people say that you're not." Bai Chun stood on the steps of the first floor, the sunlight sprinkled on the snow-white plain clothes, forming a faint layer of mist, coupled with the bright black hair tips behind him, swaying with the breeze, making people wonder if she would fly away like the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the next second.

Looking at Bai Chun's fluttering appearance standing on the steps, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the sentence in the poem "Weifeng Shuoren" that he came into contact with after coming to this world: "The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like an eyebrow, the smile is clever, and the eyes are beautiful".

After his expression was in a trance for a moment, Ye Qing tightened the Yanling knife in his hand, and then settled down, nodded and advised: "Yes, then I'll go on an errand first, and you should be careful at home." Is there anything I need to bring back? ”

"No, you can go quickly." Bai Chun smiled slightly, but he always felt that Ye Qing's last sentence seemed to be referring to his unspeakable secrets.

Pretending to be calm, she looked up at the railing on the second floor, on weekdays, she talked to her brother-in-law, standing in the yard or at the door of the wing, and she was standing on the railing on the second floor, and said a few simple words to him.

Like today, the two of them are standing in the courtyard talking, in the not too short two months, it seems that there are not a few times, even if the two of them eat on weekdays, they also eat their own silently, the old saying "food does not speak" was thoroughly exerted by the two of them.

"Then I'll go first." Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun and smiled, then turned around and walked out.

Watching Ye Qing's tall and athletic figure leave, Bai Chun always felt that Ye Qing's smile just now seemed so weird, just like the last sentence just now, as if his privacy had been seen through by him.

This made her look inexplicably appear a trace of imperceptible redness, and her heartstrings were also tightened, as if her daughter's family was discovered, and her heart was also filled with a trace of embarrassment and a trace of anger.

After walking out of the house, he turned around and brought the two wooden doors with him, rubbed one foot on the head of the little stone lion at the door twice, and then looked left and right to make sure that the two golden men did not throw off Li Heng and Lao Liu Tou to follow, and then walked quickly in the direction of Genshan Gate.

Ye Qing's workshop is in Dongqing Gate, adjacent to Genshan Gate, so it didn't take much effort, Ye Qing found Li Heng and Lao Liu Tou'er standing at the door of Li Qi'er's mutton shop in the crowd that had begun to gradually disperse.

"How's it going? Did Wu Gui look for me? Ye Qing's eyes turned around and asked after a circle.

"I didn't come, I guess I went again." Li Heng lazily held the Yanling knife, looked at the sunset that was about to set west, and said with a long yawn.

"It's not allowed to go to other armies, you two haven't been in the forbidden army for a long time, so you should be careful in everything. But then again, Team Officer Wu is actually a good person, and you will know after a long time. He is mainly tired of you now, so he ran away to the forbidden army at a young age. Old Liu Tou looked at his top boss Ye Dutou and said.

What's more, he also knew that Ye Qing and Li Heng were demoted to the forbidden army, this was not something they were willing or unwilling to do, this was the matter of the court and those big officials above, and it was the result of a thorough reform of the Great Song army by His Majesty the Emperor after the defeat of the Northern Expedition in Longxing.
