The third volume of "Looking Back Again" was first released

The days of Meiyuan are very peaceful, Xueqing practices martial arts every morning, and in the afternoon she uses it to read, play the piano, practice calligraphy, paint, or be a female celebrity, and she will also accompany Huangfu Zongyi to drink tea, chat, and listen to him talk about the things between him and Su Xinyi.

When she was alone, she made clothes, shoes, and handkerchiefs for Bingyan, although she knew that he would never need it, she just wanted to do it, and put it away when it was done. He hadn't thought of this before, and he would be very happy if she dressed him in clothes she had sewn with her own hands. She had all thought about it, and when she went to see him in the future, she would bring it to him in person.

After Huangfu Zong was rescued, maybe he was stuffy in the box for too long, or maybe he was stimulated too much, in short, after arriving at the plum garden, his mind was a little unconscious. Seeing Xue Qing, he shouted Qing'er for a while, and he liked it for a while.

During this period, Mrs. Hai also came a few times, and she was also very sorry for Bingyan's death, feeling that this daughter's life was too bitter, but she was very happy to hear that Xue Qing would settle in the plum garden.

However, she came over a few days ago to say goodbye to Xue Qing. Haiyu has been promoted and is going to the capital to take up a post, and she and her son will also go with her. She even offered to take Xueqing to the capital with her, so that she could find another husband.

Xue Qing was very grateful for Mrs. Hai's kindness, but when she arrived in the capital, except for Qin Yixuan, who dared to marry her, she had no intention of marrying. She changed the topic and said: "Mother, my father-in-law is an honest and honest official, and he governs Yuzhou City in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and promotion is inevitable." ”

Mrs. Hai smiled and said, "Child, my mother knows that you have a lot of things to hide from me, and I won't inquire. However, your father-in-law can be promoted, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Mother, where do you start with this, my father-in-law's promotion is because he is talented, how can it have anything to do with me?"

Mrs. Hai's smile became even stronger, and she took her hand and said, "The master told me that the current saint is the son of Naxia, and you still say that it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Mother, if I had such ability, I wouldn't live alone in the plum garden, I should be the mother in the palace."

When Mrs. Hai heard this, she also felt justified, and she no longer insisted on her own opinion.

At this time, the housekeeper came over, saluted and handed Xue Qing a purse, and after Xue Qing took it, she stuffed the purse to Mrs. Hai. Mrs. Hai opened it and saw that it was a full 10,000 taels of silver tickets, so she hurriedly pushed it back to her: "You girl, what are you doing?" ”

"Mother, the capital is not as good as in Yuzhou City, all expenses are very large, and there are too many places to spend money. The father-in-law is an honest official, and he doesn't have much savings on weekdays. This is the accumulation of Meiyuan over the years, and it was originally a mother's thing. Those items are inconvenient to carry, so I won't give them to my mother, and I hope that my mother must keep this silver ticket. ”

"You kid, you gave me all the silver, what do you use for yourself?"

"I'm just one person, how much can I use? And I like to be quiet and afraid of trouble, so I plan to dismiss half of the people and sell the fields on the periphery, leaving only a few pieces on the edge of the Zhuangzi, which is enough for a few people in the Zhuangzi, and there can be a surplus, I don't know if my mother agrees? ”

"Silly girl, this plum garden is yours for you, you are in charge. If you sell it, you don't have to take care of it, and you can keep some silver for self-defense. ”

"I have a small expense alone, and I sold the silver taels of the field, plus the annual harvest, which is enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Therefore, please accept these silver taels with peace of mind, as a little bit of her daughter's heart. ”

"Okay." Mrs. Hai finally stopped refusing, she took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and returned it to Xue Qing, "You keep this thousand taels for yourself, and hand over the land deed you don't want to me to take away, you are not good at these affairs, I will leave it to the housekeeper." ”

"Thank you, mother."

"Child, this 10,000 taels of silver should be your dowry for your mother's place, and when you find Ruyi Langjun in the future, you must tell your mother."

Xue Qing smiled and held Mrs. Hai's hand: "I am already very grateful to my mother for letting me live in the plum garden, and this silver is my mother's." Mother don't worry, there is no shortage of silver taels at her daughter's house, but her daughter has some misunderstandings with her father and is reluctant to go back for the time being. ”

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Hai was really relieved, and after chatting a few more words, she returned to Yuzhou City.

Xue Qing counted the existing subordinates, calculated the manpower needed for daily affairs, and called all the subordinates together to explain the situation. Those who are willing to stay, due to the increase in affairs, the monthly income will increase by 50%. If they are unwilling, return their deeds of sale to them, and leave by themselves after settling the monthly money, and subsidize the carriage and horse expenses of two taels of silver.

The young people were so enviant that they chose to find another way, leaving only the housekeeper and their two sons, the cook and her daughter, and a gardener. The number of people left behind was exactly the same as the number of people Xue Qing calculated, and everyone was happy. For the loyal people who stay, Xue Qing will not treat them badly.

After Lady Hai left, life became even more peaceful. Xue Qing arranged that she was very busy, and she didn't feel anything, but in the dead of night, people stopped, and the boundless loneliness surrounded and drowned her. Whenever this happens, she hugs the wind and talks to it, as if the ice flame is still by her side.

She would burn him some paper money every night, because he said that he needed enough money to bribe Meng Po, and every night he could cut paper money and fold spindles, so that he could find some sustenance in this silent night. She muttered to him as she cut paper money and folded ingots.

In a blink of an eye, the end of October, the seventh day of November is the death day of her mother Su Xinyi, and she is going to worship. After looking at Huangfu Zongyi's physical condition, Xue Qing decided to go alone. The few subordinates left behind were very loyal, and she was very relieved to entrust Huangfu Zongyi to their care. schoolgirl

Xueqing went out on October 30, and she had to go there early. Because at this time of year, Ligaovo also takes Yulie to worship, and she doesn't want to meet them.

When she arrived in Jiashao Town, near the Hidden Lake, Xue Qing went into the city to find a place to rest, have some meals, and buy some worship supplies. When she came to a street corner, she saw three housekeeper-looking men cursing and scolding, as if they were beating a person.

Xue Qing didn't want to be nosy, but when she took a second look and inadvertently saw the face of the besieged young man, she couldn't be idle, and she was in charge of this idle matter. Because it's a face that is seventy percent similar to Ice Flame! Although she was a little immature, she could still see it at a glance.

Xue Qing lightly verticalized, flew forward, turned around and flew out three feet, kicked the three family members over, and after turning around, he landed firmly on the ground.

The three family members saw that although the girl in front of them was young, they looked like a practicing family, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while. The one who took the lead said indignantly: "Girl, it's really good for you to see that the road is uneven, but you can't beat people indiscriminately!" ”

Xue Qing said lightly: "Then you say, why do you so many people bully a child?" ”

He ...... He stole from us! The leader of the family said confidently.

The eldest lady said disdainfully: "If you steal something, I will compensate you." ”

"This ......" the few people began to stumble.

Xue Qing turned to look at the young man: "You stole their things?" ”

The boy nodded sheepishly.

"Steal something, give it back to them."

The young man's face was flushed with shame, and the sister in front of him fell from the sky and appeared in front of him to relieve him, like a fairy in the sky. At this time, when he heard her voice and saw her face, he was even more sure that this was the fairy in the sky.

However, he let the fairy see his most embarrassing moment, and his face turned red. Even with all the reluctance in his heart, seeing that the fairy had been staring at him, the young man finally hesitantly stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, and slowly let go of his hand, revealing two steamed buns that had been pinched black and flat.

"This ......" Seeing Xue Qing's puzzlement, his face turned even redder.

Xue Qing took out a handful of copper plates and gave it to the leader: "I'm afraid I can't return the things to you, you guys have also beaten me, and I have lost my money, so this matter will end here." ”

"He also soiled my clothes." The leader said dissatisfied.

Xue Qing mentioned the flower language and pulled out three inches: "Do you think I gave less money?" ”

"No, no, no, enough is enough...... "The leader is also considered to know the current affairs, and he will accept it when he sees it, but the sword is not long-sighted."

"Why did you steal them...... Xue Qing was halfway through her words, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped it. She thought of Yue Wushuang, and thought of Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo when they first met, and couldn't help but feel abrupt. How can a person like her, who has no worries about food and clothing, understand the suffering of these ordinary people.

"I ...... Hungry ......" the young man blushed and hesitated.

"Hungry ......" Xue Qing just wanted to say that she couldn't steal anything if she was hungry, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed her sentence, "I'll take you to eat." ”

Xue Qing walked in front, and the boy followed behind. She didn't choose those high-end restaurants, so she found a street stall and ordered a few of the most ordinary side dishes. It's not that she's stingy, she can't spoil him.

As soon as the meal came, the boy devoured it. Suddenly realizing that his eating appearance was a little ugly, he raised his head and saw Xue Qing eating slowly and methodically, and her movements were very elegant. Sister Fairy even looked so good when she ate, and the young man's face turned red again, and he slowed down his movements and ate like her.

Xue Qing saw his behavior in her eyes and nodded secretly, it seems that this young man's temperament is not bad, but he is hungry for a while, and it is not in vain for her to save him.

After the meal, Xue Qing took out another money bag and gave it to the young man: "This money is enough for you for a while, you can find some work to make a living, don't steal anymore." ”

"I ......" the boy looked at her gratefully, his face turned red again, and he slurred as if he wanted to say something, but finally he only said thank you, bowed again, grabbed the money bag and ran away.

Xue Qing looked at his disappearing back and shook her head, and said in her heart: It has been 100 days since Hong Ying ascended the throne, he has always been ambitious, and he loves the people like a son, and hopes that under his governance, the life of the people will be better.
