Chapter Eighty-Five: Creation Makes People

Lu Jingwu let go of his hand, Gu Weiqing saw that his face was not ordinarily ugly, and knew that he remembered those old things again, and he didn't dare to joke anymore.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Jingwu seemed to be saying to himself, "I can't forgive them, and they don't deserve to be forgiven." ”

Gu Weiqing's lips were furled, but he couldn't say a word. He only felt that compared to Jingwu, he didn't know how lucky he was......

The house of the Overseer's Mansion gradually came into view, and Lu Jingwu looked at the gate of the Overseer's Mansion, his eyes as dead as a pool of death.

"Martial ......"

When Lu Jingwu heard Gu Weiqing's voice, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Weiqing's face is like a moist jade, and his voice rhymes with a spring breeze, "New Year's Weiqi." ”

Lu Jingwu laughed, "I thought something was wrong." Have a good trip, New Year's Eve Weiqi. ”

Gu Weiqing shouted: "Can you be a little more perfunctory?" ”

Lu Jingwu raised his arm, "Yes, I can also give you a big slap." ”

Gu Weiqing stepped on the accelerator and disappeared from Lu Jingwu's sight in an instant, although Lu Jingwu's face was still as cold as frost, his eyes were not as silent as Fang Cai......

In previous years, as long as Lu Tiansheng proposed to take Qing Ziting back to his home for the New Year, Zhong Shunhua would be hysterically opposed, but this year, for the sake of a pair of children who were unsatisfactory, or a marriage that was not satisfactory to her, she did not have the leisure to care where Qing Ziting was for the New Year. Without her noise, the Overseer's Mansion ate unusually peacefully at this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and only the sound of Lu Tiansheng laughing was heard during the banquet. That's right, Zhong Shunhua, who has been arguing with him for many years, suddenly quieted down, his most beloved son has also been married, coupled with Lu Jingpeng's return and Bai Qiaoxuan's visit, it is not normal for Lu Tiansheng to be unhappy.

It's just that this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I'm afraid he is the only one who is really happy, Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing needless to say, Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Xi's marriage is imminent, and they don't have a moment that they are not like Mang. Although Bai Qiaoxuan has the intention to win back a game in front of them, even if he wins, what can he do? Although Lu Xi was happy that the marriage had been confirmed, he was disappointed in his mother's move to frame Bai Qiaoxuan. Lu Jingpeng thought that his father handed over Pudong's government affairs to him as his agent, which meant that Pudong would be handed over to him, but just when he thought he could compete with his eldest brother, his father transferred him back to Jindu and handed Pudong over to Tong Yuqing's relatives, which made him have to grit his teeth and be extremely angry. Everyone else was worried about the abnormal atmosphere of this feast, for fear that one of them would accidentally offend some big man and let disaster befall him.

Lu Tiansheng raised his glass again and said, "Qiao Xuan, come, uncle toasts you." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly raised his glass and said, "How dare you, it should be Qiao Xuanjing to uncle." ”

Lu Tiansheng said with a smile: "What your uncle told you last time, did your father reply to it?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled and said, "Yes, my father knows that my uncle can't bear his daughter to marry far away, so he has agreed to move the family to Jindu." ”

Lu Tiansheng laughed and said, "It's really good! I really owe it to Ling Zun for his open-mindedness. Xi'er, in the future, you must remember to honor your father-in-law, you know?

Lu Xi blushed and replied, "Yes, father." ”

Lu Tiansheng said again: "When I chose a mansion for your second brother, I found that the location of a building next to it was also good, and I wanted to build a garden, but now I don't need to build a garden, I will directly change it to a Sihe ...... for you."

Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing were beating drums in their hearts, they were really afraid of something.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xi said: "Father should not be converted into a courtyard house, my daughter prefers the style of a Western-style villa to a courtyard house." Also, my daughter wants a Western-style wedding. ”

Lu Tiansheng has always disliked Western things, but thinking that this is his daughter's marriage, he still has to consider her thoughts, so he asked Bai Qiaoxuan, "What does Qiao Xuan mean?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan replied respectfully: "I implore my uncle to fulfill Xi'er's wishes." ”

Lu Tiansheng bowed, "Then let's do it according to Xi'er's wishes, the original layout of that building is good, just rebuild it a little, and ensure that you can move in when you get married in May." ”

Lu Tiansheng said again: "In addition, since you are going to settle in Jindu in the future, Qiao Xuan can no longer manage the affairs of Baijiawan, it just so happens that there is a lack of a deputy general by my side, Qiao Xuan will follow me to experience." ”

"Yes, uncle."

After arranging his son-in-law's errand, Lu Tiansheng said to his second daughter-in-law: "Yuqing, if your injury is not serious, you will go to the Financial Department to get a clerical job in the next year and be the secretary of Director Zhong Keqian Zhong, okay?" ”

Tong Yuqing subconsciously looked at Zhong Shunhua, and seeing that she didn't react, she agreed to this errand with peace of mind.

Bai Qiaoxuan suddenly had a very strange feeling, if Tong Baiyi hadn't done so many things, he should have married Yiyou by now, Yuqing might have married Qiu Lingqiao or Qiu Linghe, and one of them would be in the Overseer's Office and the other in the Financial Department. It was as if everything had changed, and it was as if everything was still the same. He had to marvel at the tricks of fate, which was always ironic......

Mo Fen saw Tong Yuqing stand in place in a daze after putting down the microphone, and couldn't help asking, "Second young grandmother, is something wrong?" ”

Tong Yuqing came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, "No, it's news from the northern suburbs that Yiyou just gave birth to a girl......"

Mo Finn smiled: "This is a happy event! Why are you still depressed? ”

Tong Yuqing narrowed her eyelids slightly, "This child should be the most noble lady in Pudong, but because of me, she can only follow her parents now and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

Before Mo Fen could persuade him, Qing Ziting's voice came from outside the door, "Ruojiao, look at who is back......"

"Miss!"

Tong Yuqing heard this familiar voice and happily stepped forward, "Mi Lan! ”

Mi Lan happily threw herself into Tong Yuqing's arms and shouted, "Miss...... Ah no, it's supposed to be the second young grandmother now! I've made it through, and I've been suffocated to death for three months. ”

Tong Yuqing said: "Bah, bah! You can't mention that word for the New Year, it's unlucky. ”

Mi Lan covered her mouth, "Oh...... Yes, yes, yes, you can't say it, you can't say it. ”

Tong Yuqing pulled her to sit at the table and asked, "Tell me quickly, how have you been doing in the Overseer's Mansion for more than three months?" Has anyone bullied you? ”

Mi Lan said: "That's not true, it's just that the Overseer's Mansion is too stuffy, everyone seems to be carved out of a mold, talking, walking, even sleeping in the same position, I don't want to find someone to talk to." Why are there so many rules for rich and noble families? That Mama Jiao Xi is also very fierce, as long as she makes a slight mistake, it will be a beating. ”

"Have you been beaten, then?"

"Of course I did, but I didn't suffer the most, and there were clumsy people than me. Oops, that kind of place is really not for people......" Mi Lan was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped her mouth, causing Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing to laugh.

Tong Yuqing held Mi Lan's hand and said: "I sent you to the Overseer's Mansion because your son-in-law and I are both members of the Lu family after all, you can't stay with us for a long time without training and don't understand the rules of the Overseer's Mansion, but you also know that I never demand that you do things with a clear look, those who are perfect in every move will not necessarily do anything traitorous and despicable behind their backs." So I don't want you to be perfect in your words and actions, I just want you not to betray me. ”

Mi Lan nodded knowingly. Tong Yuqing introduced each other to Mi Lan and Mo Fen again, and then asked them to go out for a while.

Tong Yuqing's words not only made Mi Lan confused, but also made Qing Ziting suspicious, he asked, "Is the person you are talking about Yao Yao?" What did she do to sell her for glory and be insidious and despicable? ”

Tong Yuqing smiled reluctantly, "These things are really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, I'm afraid that saying it will pollute your hearing." All you have to know is that she won't have a chance to hurt me again. ”

Qing Ziting nodded, "That's good." ”

Tong Yuqing asked: "Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Yiyou has just given birth to a daughter, so I want to visit her in the northern suburbs later, is it okay?" ”

Qing Ziting replied: "Of course, do you need me to accompany you?" ”

Tong Yuqing wanted to say that he didn't have to, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should be allowed to go, after all, the relationship between the Tong family and the Qiu family was too deep, and Uncle Qiu and Yiyou were afraid that they would also want to meet him.

"Okay, then I'll let Morfin go with us."

Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing set off for the northern suburbs after lunch, and halfway through, Qing Ziting suddenly said: "I said why do I always feel that something is missing...... We forgot to buy clothes for our baby! ”

As soon as he said this, Tong Yuqing also remembered that there were no children's clothes in the prepared gifts. The two went to the passing store to choose suitable clothes for the baby.

Qing Ziting saw that the little belly pockets and small clothes were so cute, and she didn't know how happy she was. He picked up a blue belly pocket embroidered with a bear and asked, "Ruojiao, what do you think of this, is the bear on it so cute?" ”

Tong Yuqing smiled: "It's very good, but the baby is a girl." ”

Qing Ziting patted her head, "Oh yes, how did I forget about this?" What do you think of this one? Above are small cherry red flowers. ”

Tong Yuqing walked over and looked at the small clothes in his hand, "Well, this one is good, and it is also very suitable for girls." ”

After handing over the clothes to the boss, Qing Ziting went to pick out several small belly pockets and small pants. Tong Yuqing saw that he was not tired of this, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and his mood was like a spring breeze, but he couldn't help but blame himself secretly......

Qing Ziting noticed her strangeness and asked, "Ruojiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tong Yuqing took her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Are you ...... Would love to have a child of your own? ”

Qing Ziting's smile froze, he has been busy recuperating Tong Yuqing's injuries these days, and he hasn't thought about anything else at all, when Tong Yuqing asks him this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and only said after a while: "I just think these clothes are cute." ”

Although she knew that he said this so as not to make herself feel indebted to him, the more he thought about himself, the more she felt that she owed him a lot.

"I'm sorry."

Qing Ziting tried to squeeze out a smile and said softly, "Let's get in the car." ”

The two were speechless all the way, and when they arrived at the northern suburbs, the sky had already darkened, but Tong Yuqing still vaguely saw a familiar figure in the distance, she jumped out of the car and ran over, shouting with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Qiu!" ”

Qiu Zeyuan, like Tong Yuqing, was wearing a plain white robe, but he looked much older, he grabbed Tong Yuqing's jade arm, carefully looked at her appearance, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Yuqing, you have lost a lot of weight......"

After speaking, Qiu Zeyuan noticed that Tong Yuqing was followed by a son like a Zhilan jade tree, and guessed that he was Lu Tiansheng's second son, Lu Jingzhi, so he bent down and saluted, and said, "The grass people knock to see the second young master." ”

Qing Ziting hurriedly supported Qiu Zeyuan and said, "Hurry up, please get up, it stands to reason that I should call you Uncle Qiu with Ruojiao, where is the reason for your uncle to salute me?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard him call Tong Yuqing Ruojiao, and then remembered that Feng Yi was not allowed to call her real name outside in order to protect her daughter, Ruojiao was a name she took herself.

Like Tong Yuqing when he first arrived in Puxi, Qiu Zeyuan's impression of the second son of the Lu family was only limited to knowing that there was such a person as him. Now seeing that he is humble and polite, and he has not been despised at all because of the change in his identity, I can't help but have a good impression of him.

When Tong Yuqing and Qiu Zeyuan saw each other, they thought of the late Tong Fengyi, and they only knew that they were standing in place for a while, and Qing Ziting reminded them that they returned to the room.

Tong Yuqing asked, "Uncle Qiu, I heard that Yoyo gave birth to a daughter, so I brought you some things for children, as well as bedding, cups and bowls, and other things that you can use on weekdays." If you're not vulgar, take it. ”

Qiu Zeyuan smiled: "How can I be so vulgar with the things you brought? You've done your best to save our lives, and it's because of you that the Overseers have given us a place to stay. Although the daily use is not as good as before, it is not less than before, so you don't have to worry about it for us anymore. ”

Tong Yuqing felt sad in her heart, and knelt down in front of Qiu Zeyuan, "Uncle Qiu, although you don't care about me, I know that you are willing to give up this country for me." As a descendant of the Tong clan, I did not do my best to protect the Qiu clan, but dragged you off the throne with my own hands, and my sins will not be atoned for. ”

Qiu Ze glanced at Qing Ziting from afar, and saw that he was not angry, so he was relieved. He helped Tong Yuqing to her feet, gently wiped away her tears, and said with relief: "Good boy, do you think that if I lose my position as Overseer, I didn't protect me well? You were so wrong, but you helped me do what I thought I would never be able to do in my life. If it weren't for being my father's only son, I would never have thought of going to the position of Overseer, and the people who sat in that position seemed infinitely honorable, but in fact only they knew that behind that position was an abyss, and the slightest mistake would be doomed, so if it were only for me, I would really be disgusted with that position. Your father is the best brother in my life, he is gone, I naturally want to try my best to protect you and Yu Hao, how can I draw a sword against you for something that I hate so much? You see, your strategy is so thorough, not only caught Tong Baiyi and avenged your parents, but also allowed me to safely unload the burden I didn't want to carry, how good! ”

Tong Yuqing lowered her head and said, "But you and Youyou can only live in seclusion in the mountains and forests in the future......"

Qiu Zeyuan laughed, "That's better, you don't know, my biggest dream in this life is to retreat to the mountains and forests with my loved ones without any burden, so you don't have to blame yourself at all, we will definitely live well." By the way, you haven't seen Yoyo and the child for so long, she just gave birth and can't get out of bed and walk around, you can go and see her in the house. ”

Tong Yuqing knew that Qiu Zeyuan wanted to divert the topic and distract her, so she accepted his kindness and got up to visit Yiyou and the child in the house.

"Second young grandmother, look, how beautiful this child is!" Muffin gently shook the baby and smiled.

Tong Yuqing saw that Yi Youyou was pretending to be asleep there, and deliberately hugged the baby and said: "That's natural, you don't look at who other people's parents are, this is the daughter of the first beautiful man and the first beauty in Pudong, can it not be beautiful?" Isn't it, baby? Baby, take a look, your mother doesn't know who is angry there, isn't it ugly for your mother to be angry? ”

Yiyou opened a pair of peach blossom eyes and glared at Tong Yuqing angrily, "Naturally, she is angry with her Aunt Tong!" ”

Tong Yuqing sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, shook the baby's little hand and smiled: "Then you can make amends to your mother on behalf of Aunt Tong, okay?" ”

Yi Youjiao snorted and slapped Tong Yuqing hard, "I'm really going to be frightened by you!" ”

Tong Yuqing's jade arm shook a little, the baby thought he was in danger, and cried out loudly, Tong Yuqing hurriedly handed the baby to Mo Fen, and said angrily: "They are all mothers and are still so hairy, how will they feed the children in the future?" ”

Yiyou was also very distressed to see the child crying like that, but his mouth was unforgiving, "I am naturally not more serious than Miss Tong, and I can calculate people's ......hearts like that."

Tong Yuqing laughed when she saw her so naΓ―ve. Yiyou suddenly reached out to scratch Tong Yuqing's itch, "My heart, I was trampled under your feet for a while, and you were held to the sky for a while......"

Tong Yuqing couldn't stand the itch, and she didn't dare to scratch her itch, so she begged for mercy again and again, "I was wrong, I was wrong...... Haven't I just done it for Tong Baiyi? If I don't scold you, how can I make him not suspicious, and how can I let him obediently fall into my trap? ”

You understood the reason, but she still couldn't help but blame her, "Won't you tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared?" Seeing you scolding me like that day, I really thought I was dying? ”

Tong Yuqing laughed, "Tell you in advance?" As far as you can't hide things, don't you play all the tricks for me? You don't have to be disgruntled, no one except me and Lu Dujun knew about our full deployment beforehand. ”

Yiyou was incredulous, "Isn't it...... You didn't even tell Bai Qiaoxuan? ”

Tong Yuqing's smile froze instantly, Yiyou knew that she had said the wrong thing, and was about to comfort her, so she said, "No." Yoyo, I am already married, my husband is Lu Tiansheng's second son, and his name is Lu Jingzhi, but I call him Ziting on weekdays, so don't mention Bai Qiaoxuan in the future, especially in front of Ziting. ”

Yiyou said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Yuqing. I didn't mean it, you know that I'm a person, and I've always wanted to say anything...... I didn't mean to provoke you to hurt something, you ......"

Tong Yuqing held her hand, "I don't blame you. ”

"But are you really willing to give him up? Do you really want to live with that Lu Jingzhi for the rest of your life? As soon as Yiyou's words came out, he slapped himself in the mouth a few times, "I asked the wrong question again." ”

Tong Yuqing wanted to divert the topic, looked around and asked, "By the way, what's the baby's name?" ”

Yiyou joked again, "It's not all you, it makes my heart go up and down, I think I'm going to die, how can I still have the heart to name the baby?" ”

Tong Yuqing smiled and asked, "You haven't thought about it, haven't you Uncle Qiu thought about it either?" ”

Yiyou lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I haven't asked him, and I don't dare to ask." ”

Tong Yuqing knew what she was afraid of, and persuaded: "Don't think too much. This is his own flesh and blood, how could he not like it? I think he must have already thought of the name. ”

Yiyou said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I thought that the fate of my life with him was coming to an end, so I didn't want to stick to him all day long, but now...... I really don't know what to do in the future, I can't think of it, and I don't dare to think about it......"

I can't think of it, and I don't dare to think of it...... Isn't this also my current state of mind? Tong Yuqing felt sad, except for hugging her tightly, she couldn't say or do anything.

Knock, knock, knock

Tong Yuqing and Yi hurriedly let go of each other, wiped the tears on their sideburns, and let people outside the room come in.

Qing Ziting was dressed in a moon-white elastic ink auspicious moire brocade robe, lining his Zhilan jade tree-like figure soft and slender, Yiyou saw him, it was like seeing the tranquil and waveless lake of Xinruo Lake, clear and warm. This is a son with a completely different temperament from Bai Qiaoxuan, will Yuqing like him?

"Ziting has seen Miss Yiyou."

Qing Ziting's voice pulled Yiyou back from her chaotic thoughts, and she replied: "Yiyou just gave birth to her daughter, and she can't get out of bed to give her son a gift in return, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Qing Ziting said: "Miss is serious. Ruojiao, Uncle Qiu and I thought that Miss Yiyou couldn't get out of bed, so we wanted to put the dining tables and chairs in this room, do you think it's okay? ”

Tong Yuqing smiled: "Of course you can." Then you talk to Yiyou on my behalf first, and I'll go to the kitchen to help Uncle Qiu. ”

Qing Ziting bowed: "It just so happens that Uncle Qiu is also going to call you over." ”

Tong Yuqing saw that Qiu Zeyuan was washing vegetables in the kitchen, so she went over to help him chop vegetables. Qiu Zeyuan said: "Yuqing, although Lu Tiansheng didn't want my life, he also isolated me from the world. I wonder how my relatives are doing now? Not to mention the side branches, I'm very worried about my four sisters and brothers-in-law, are they okay? ”

Tong Yuqing hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't need to say it, Uncle Qiu knows the temperament of your four brothers-in-law well, so he ......."
