Qing Ziting covered her cold hands, her eyes were tender like water, "I promise you." As long as you are in one day, I will not go before you for a while. ”

Tong Yuqing's hanging heart dropped slightly, and the two continued to sort out the books.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. In her spare time, Tong Yuqing sits under the pear blossom tree, watching the pear blossoms bloom and fluttering, reading "Drinking Water Words", and occasionally picking up some petite white petals to make bookmarks. Qing Ziting never disturbed her when she was reading, and only when she had doubts and puzzles, she would speak out to answer for her.

Unconsciously, it was already March, and I didn't know whether I was sad for Nalan's encounter, or sad for the pear blossoms scattered all over the ground, Tong Yuqing felt that she was much weaker, and there always seemed to be a layer of mist in front of her that could not be dissolved.

"It turns out that Nalan is not only a talented man who is rich and rich, a man with deep affection, a pure person who is not stained with dust, but also a frustrated person whose ambitions are difficult to pay."

Qing Ziting bowed his head, "As the son of an important minister and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he not only has to support a piece of the world for the family, but also has to keep the peace of the family for the lord." Therefore, whether it is Mingzhu or Kangxi, he is not allowed to go out for the country, he has never fought on the battlefield in his life, and it has always been a big regret for him to show his heroism. The song "Merry Man" is the embodiment of his ambition. ”

Tong Yuqing silently recited: "What is the fame, this body has won it, shooting tigers in short clothes, and selling wine in the western suburbs." Then he waved into the shadow of the setting sun, leaning on the horse. Do you also feel that your ambitions are difficult to achieve? ”

Qing Ziting said frankly: "I am not as civil and military as Nalan Gongzi, and I am not interested in riding and hunting on the martial arts field, even if I have the heart to help the country, it is difficult to put it into practice." It's just that sometimes I see you and your father busy with business, or I see those who have been displaced, and I think there's only so much I can do for you. ”

Tong Yuqing said with relief: "Actually, we don't need you to really do anything, as long as you stay by our side safely." ”

Qing Ziting said with a smile: "Everyone is outside the male protagonist and the female protagonist is inside, but our family is the opposite." I want you to preside over the foreign affairs, so I can only follow behind you. ”

Tong Yuqing asked, "Did I embarrass you?" ”

Qing Ziting shook his head like a rattle, "You misunderstood, I should have been outside to help you resist the wind, frost, rain and snow, but I don't have this ability, how can I blame you for those gossip?" ”

Tong Yuqing put her mind at ease, and Qing Ziting said again: "Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, let's worship our mother on the island first, and worship our father-in-law and mother-in-law." When the father-in-law and mother-in-law Tan sacrifice in July, I will accompany you back to the ancestral tomb of Yejin to pay tribute. Do you think so? ”

Tong Yuqing nodded, early the next morning, before dawn, Qing Ziting took Tong Yuqing to Ranqing Dongyuan to pick camellias, Tong Yuqing saw that the camellia forest was colorful, but Qing Ziting only picked white camellias, and asked, "Does mother like white camellia the most?" ”

Qing Ziting replied: "I remember when I was a child, my mother always brought me to this camellia forest, and I didn't just like white camellias. Later, my father said that she was most like the gentle and pure white camellia, and my mother regarded the white camellia as different from other camellias. ”

To love him is to love what he loves, Qing Chen really loved Lu Tiansheng, but unfortunately in Lu Tiansheng's eyes, no matter how important Qing Chen is, she is just a woman, and she can't reach his thousands of miles, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her back to Jindu and sent her into Zhong Shunhua's tiger's mouth. While Tong Yuqing regretted Qing Chen, she was also glad that Qing Ziting's temperament followed her mother, otherwise her life would not be as good as it is now.

After the two finished picking the flowers, they went back to prepare breakfast, and it took Tong Yuqing a month before to finally persuade Qing Ziting not to make another meal for her. So now Tong Yuqing swallows dates when she eats, and she doesn't dare to chew the vegetables carefully, so as not to be bothered by the unbearable taste for too long. But Qing Ziting is no longer the nerd who can't observe words and emotions at all, at least Tong Yuqing is different, and he can see the clues. So he decided not to prepare a separate meal for Tong Yuqing in the future, nor let her continue to endure the meals she couldn't eat, but changed the way he cooked the meal, cooking like others, and no longer putting vinegar in everything.

Tong Yuqing put the cut beans in her mouth, and just wanted to swallow them directly as before, she found that its taste was normal, she tasted other green vegetables, and found that each one was not sour, and asked, "Didn't you put more vinegar today?" Didn't I tell you not to accommodate my tastes? ”

Qing Ziting said with a smile: "When two people live together, eating is a big deal, if you can't even eat together, let alone be happy." I like to eat sour, so I can keep vinegar on the side. If you like spicy food, you can also prepare chili oil on the side. In this way, we can all eat these dishes in between? ”

Tong Yuqing felt that he had a point, and such a simple matter was not worth arguing about, so she acquiesced to his idea. The two quietly finished their meal, and then went to Ranqing Beiyuan together to sweep Qingchen's grave.

After wiping the tombstone, Qing Ziting stood in front of his mother's tomb and said, "Mother, please forgive the child for being married for so long before bringing Ruo Dian to visit." Everything is fine with my father in Jindu. The child's health has also improved. Ruo Wan has avenged her parents and arranged for her brother's whereabouts. Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu are also safe and sound, in the past year, the Gu family has had many happy events, Brother Wei Wei is about to become a father, Wei Hong married a wife, and Yu'er also went out to study with her fiancé. If you have any knowledge, please continue to bless us with peace and happiness, and all things will go well. ”

Tong Yuqing also said to Qing Chen in her heart: "Mother, although I haven't seen you, I know that you must be a gentle and kind woman. Although Yuqing is not more empathetic than you, she will also take good care of Ziting. Please be in the spirit of heaven and bless Ziting with peace and joy. ”

After the two kowtowed to Qing Chen, Tong Yuqing asked, "I just heard you tell your mother about the recent situation of the Gu family, is the personal relationship between my mother and Uncle Gu also very good?" ”

Qing Ziting heard that Tong Yuqing's meaning was to ask Xi Yiqian why she had a good personal relationship with Qing Chen since she had a good relationship with Zhong Shunhua, so she replied: "Speaking of the relationship between Uncle Gu and his mother, it is really a wonderful fate. Uncle Gu was originally an orphan, and there was a younger sister below, and they actually survived in Ningtai at first. My mother met Uncle Gu when she was fleeing, and the two helped each other not to starve to death. It's a pity that the two got separated later, and Uncle Gu went to Jindu and got to know her neighbors, that is, Uncle Gu and her father. The three of them went to the school run by Mr. Zhong again. I've told you about the rest of the story. Father and wife, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu got married, and my father ascended to the position of Overseer with the help of Uncle Gu and Mr. Zhong and others. After living a prosperous life, Uncle Gu opened a lot of good halls, and the first good hall she opened was in Ningtai, and her mother happened to work in the good hall. This is how the two were reunited. Uncle Gu wanted to take her mother back to Jindu, but her mother didn't want to leave the place where she was born and raised, so she politely refused Uncle Gu's kindness......"

Tong Yuqing listened to Qing Ziting's voice for a moment, and saw that his face was very ugly, so she hurriedly asked, "Ziting, are you uncomfortable?" I'll carry you back. ”

Qing Ziting shook his head and replied with a reluctant smile: "I'm not uncomfortable. ”

Tong Yuqing saw his expression and guessed that he might be sad for his parents' disgraceful past, so he didn't ask any more, Qing Ziting took a few deep breaths, and continued: "When Uncle Gu came to Ningtai again, she couldn't find her mother, so she inquired many times, and later heard that someone had seen her mother near Luohe, and when she came to find it, she happened to meet her mother who came out early in the morning to buy vegetables. Only then did I know that my mother was married and had children. Uncle Gu was originally happy to see her mother's husband and child, but you should have guessed it......"

Tong Yuqing then understood why Xi Yiqian was so contradictory to protect Zhong Shunhua's mother and son, and also took care of Qing Ziting very much, she thought that she was looking at her husband's face and helping her husband's friend take care of his most beloved son, it turned out that she was taking care of the orphan for her friend. Tong Yuqing didn't have to think about it, Xi Yiqian must have hated Lu Tiansheng to death, because this shameless man not only ruined her two best sisters, but also caused their children to live worse than death, one was lonely, and the other was adrift. Xi Yiqian just ignored Lu Tiansheng and said that it was good to cultivate, if it was replaced by Tong Yuqing, if someone dared to let Yiyou do the outer room without explanation, Tong Yuqing would have to chop him up and feed him to the dog!

Thinking of the outer room, Tong Yuqing suddenly remembered Xi Yiling and asked, "Ziting, I see that Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu have a good relationship, why did they marry a wife and sister again?" ”

Qing Ziting and Gu Weiqing have been together for a long time, so they are used to calling Aunt Xi Yiling with him, and he replied: "Aunt is not Uncle Gu's to marry, it is Uncle Gu who married his sister to him." ”

Tong Yuqing was very surprised, "Why did Uncle Gu marry her sister to her husband?" ”

Qing Ziting recalled and said: "This matter is even more ancient, before my father ascended the throne. At that time, my father and Uncle Gu were still two generals under the former Overseer, and they were far from having the power to hold the world like now. In addition, his father married the daughter of the Zhong family, which was even more feared by the Overseers. Due to the power of the Zhong family, he didn't dare to kill his father directly, so he always made some trouble for his father behind his back. One of them was to marry his aunt to his disabled nephew. After Mr. Zhong's eyeliner placed beside him learned the news, he informed Uncle Gu in advance. At that time, my father and Uncle Gu were both fighting in the front, and in order not to disturb the morale of the army, Uncle Gu suppressed the news and thought of a solution by herself. She could neither carry a sword to kill the Overseer, nor refuse the family business to her face, so she could only turn this crisis into an invisible situation in the name of taking a concubine for her husband. So she drafted a concubine document for Uncle Gu overnight, originally there was no need to visit the church for concubines, but in order to make those people completely dead, she let her aunt and Uncle Gu's clothes go to the church. In this way, by the time they react, the wood is already in the boat, and it is impossible for them to marry another person's concubine. Because this is not only unreasonable, but also self-depreciating, and what is even more terrible is that it will fall into the infamy of forcibly marrying a people's woman. ”

Tong Yuqing thought about it and asked, "But Uncle Gu's move, Uncle Gu is only afraid that it will be difficult to accept, right?" ”

Qing Ziting nodded, "I heard that after Uncle Gu returned victoriously, he heard that he had an extra concubine for no reason, and he was angry with Uncle Gu for the first time, and he didn't step into her room again for a long time, and then Uncle Gu cried and begged for his forgiveness." Not only Uncle Gu, but also my aunt couldn't react to the fact that her brother-in-law suddenly became a husband, and she couldn't change her mouth for a long time, and Uncle Gu punished her over and over again. They originally wanted to wait for their father to ascend the throne and then leave, but when it came to that time, my aunt was also a little old, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was still someone else's concubine, Uncle Gu was worried that she would not be able to marry after she divorced from Uncle Gu, and even if she married, she would not be able to marry a good family, so she begged Uncle Gu again and really accepted her as a concubine. ”

Heaven seems to be most jealous of the happiness of the world, and always wants to draw a big or small opening between the word consummation, leaving a missing word. There are very few loves in the world that can be both happy and long-lasting, but God is still stingy to give them a full moon.

Qing Ziting held Tong Yuqing's jade hand and said softly: "Don't feel sorry for them, don't say anything far away, just say it's close, the Gu family is already a hundred times more complete than our Lu family." Husband and wife are beautiful, brothers, friends and brothers, sisterhood is deep, you think about these three things, in addition to sisterhood, we have Xi'er and Ye'er here, what else can our family compare with the Gu family? ”

Tong Yuqing thought about Lu Tiansheng and his wife and concubine, the three brothers Lu Jingwu, and then thought about Gu Huaijue and Xi Yiqian's sisters, and Gu Weiqing's three brothers, and felt that Qing Ziting was reasonable. For the Gu family, they only have envy, where do they have the qualifications to sympathize?

Qing Ziting patted her hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about other people's business." Today, Shuque is going home to sweep the grave, but my medicinal materials are gone, can you go to the pharmacy in the south of the city to buy some medicines for me? ”

Tong Yuqing felt strange, "Aren't there several pharmacies on the edge of the Scarlet Sleeve River?" Why should you go to a pharmacy in Seongnam to buy it? ”

Qing Ziting handed her a list, "These medicinal materials are more precious, and ordinary pharmacies don't have them, only the big pharmacy in the south of the city has inventory." ”

"Oh......" Tong Yuqing counted the time and said, "Then I'll pack up and leave the island now, it is estimated that it will be lunch time when I come back, you can eat by yourself at noon, and Mi Lan and I will come back after eating outside." ”

Qing Ziting bowed slightly, watched Tong Yuqing leave, turned around and asked Shuque: "How are you prepared?" ”

Shuque replied: "Don't worry, Childe, everything is ready, just wait for Madame to leave the island." ”

After Tong Yuqing and Mi Lan came back from buying medicine, they went to Ningtai's most famous wine fragrance alley to eat, and Mi Lan kept saying: "Madam, don't you see that the façade of this hotel is not as magnificent as the Guangfeng Hotel, but the taste is much better than those flashy dishes in the Guangfeng Hotel, otherwise can there be so many people?" ”

Tong Yuqing smiled helplessly, "I know...... You've spoken to me many times. But you haven't eaten it, how do you know if it's good here? ”

"Uh......" Mi Lan scratched her head, "I've heard from others, too." ”

Tong Yuqing was in a good mood when she saw Mi Lan's stunned appearance, flicked her little brain, and slipped into the store. The two ordered the most famous oily noodles in the store and were eating them with taste, but Tong Yuqing's attention was suddenly attracted by the voices of two men at the next table......

"Hey, have you heard? The west side has not been very peaceful lately. ”

"You mean Duro?"

"Hmm. Doesn't it mean that King Dulo wants to take advantage of the New Year's time when everyone is loose to smuggle some * crossings? The newly appointed deputy commander of the Shengwei camp deliberately let the informant installed by King Duluo in the Shengwei camp transport those things in, but handed over their goods in one fell swoop when they were about to distribute them. King Duro's most powerful henchman was almost caught, and I was glad that there were not a few people captured this time, but I didn't expect that the real * was only a small packet. King Dulo killed his henchmen who had followed him for many years for a large cart of fakes* and sent troops to attack the Shengwei camp. But this battle was fought very strangely, with heavy thunder and small rain, and it ended as if playing. A few days later, the deputy commander of the Sheng Wei camp was assassinated. ”

Tong Yuqing's hand shook suddenly, and the chopsticks fell to the ground, but fortunately, Mi Lan was concentrating on eating noodles, not noticing Tong Yuqing's panic, and not hearing what was being discussed at the next table.

Tong Yuqing took a pair of chopsticks again and continued to listen to them, "Fortunately, he had foresight and was prepared for King Duluo's methods, so he was not injured." Now that the two sides are at a stalemate, I don't know what they are tossing these plans for? ”

"You still don't understand that? Just like two tigers want to test each other's strength before a duel, and now King Duro and our donkey are doing the same thing. ”

Tong Yuqing's palms have oozed cold sweat unconsciously, she has never been so worried about Bai Qiaoxuan and Zi Tingdou before, fighting with Lu Jingwu, fighting with Lu Jingpeng, and even fighting with Lu Tiansheng, because they are either not his opponents, or they have a bottom line in doing things, but King Duluo is born to do things that lose his conscience, he doesn't care about reputation, he doesn't care about money, he doesn't care about power, and he doesn't even care about his life. His madness is enough to destroy everything, including himself.

It is difficult to find King Duluo's weakness, but Qiao Xuan's weakness is clearly there. Tong Yuqing had to be afraid that such a reckless madman would do something terrible......

Tong Yuqing forced herself to calm down, standing in the perspective of King Duluo, thinking of a way to deal with Qiao Xuan, from the conversation between the two of them, Tong Yuqing could clearly feel that King Duluo's goal was not to take Sheng Weiying, but to take Qiao Xuan's life. Qiao Xuan's side is heavily defended, he can't find a chance to start, he will definitely start from the people close to him, Lu Xi, Ah Yin, Qiao Xuan's uncle and mother, and even himself, may become the target of King Duluo.

Tong Yuqing suddenly remembered that when she just left the island, there seemed to be a lot of people of unknown origin on the banks of the Scarlet Sleeve River......

"Mi Lan, don't eat it. We'll go to the government office right away. ”

Mi Lan looked dazed, but seeing that Tong Yuqing had already gone out, she hurriedly left the money and chased out.

Tong Yuqing scanned the rearview mirror while driving, and when she saw the vehicle that was not tracked, she relaxed a little.

After Tong Yuqing saw Gu Weihong, she didn't care about the courtesy, and said directly: "Third Brother Gu, there is a group of people of unknown origin on the bank of the Luohe River, I suspect that they are people sent by King Duluo, is it inconvenient for you to send someone to investigate?" ”

After Gu Weihong knew Tong Yuqing's intention, he smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law Lu is really keen, my person has revealed his traces so quickly!" ”

Tong Yuqing was a little surprised, "Your people? ”

Gu Weihong replied: "Yes, the ones you saw are all plainclothes from the Security Bureau, not from King Duluo." Looking at the appearance of the second sister-in-law, you should have heard about the things in the west? ”

Tong Yuqing nodded, and Gu Weihong said: "We learned the news much faster than you, so we have already taken precautions." You can rest assured and stay on Yaochen Island with Second Brother Lu. There is me and my father outside, and we will keep the peace for you. ”

After Tong Yuqing thanked him, he exchanged a few words with him, and left with Mi Lan.

When she returned to Yaochen Island, it was already waning, and the afterglow was sprinkled on the pink and white apricot blossoms, adding a touch of charm to her beauty. Tong Yuqing has never understood better than at this moment that one person's happiness is exchanged for the hard work of hundreds of people. When she and Qing Ziting chanted poems here, there were so many people sacrificing their safety and guarding their safety.

Just as she was sighing, Mi Lan suddenly shouted, "Madam, look at ......"

Tong Yuqing followed her gaze and looked forward, the courtyard gate seemed to be shrouded in a layer of purple glow, and a petal of blue and purple butterfly wings danced, connecting into a string of light purple silent wind chimes. Tong Yuqing took a closer look and found that there was an extra flower stand on the east side of the courtyard, which was full of wisteria flowers. The branches are meandering, and the wisteria flowers hanging from the branches are steaming and glowing, like a song, as if telling endless attachment......

Qing Ziting helped Tong Yuqing sit on the wisteria swing in the west, and whispered softly, "Wisteria hangs cloud trees, and flowers and vines are suitable for spring." Dense leaves hidden singing birds, fragrant wind to stay beautiful. I remember the first time I saw you, you were dressed in a brocade cheongsam with crystal purple wisps and gold vine patterns, like a fairy from the sky. I guess you should like wisteria flowers very much, so I have prepared this gift for you, like? ”

Tong Yuqing smiled brightly, "Hmm." Among the many flowers, I do love wisteria flowers, thank you. But it doesn't seem to be the time for the wisteria flowers to bloom on our side, where do these flowers come from? ”

Qing Ziting smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you, I asked a friend to transport it from the south." ”

Saying that, Qing Ziting held Tong Yuqing's hand, asked her to hold the flower ropes on both sides, and pushed the swing out, Tong Yuqing couldn't stop laughing, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, what I told you that day was just a joke, I didn't expect you to really make me a swing." ”

Qing Ziting replied very seriously: "Whatever you want, whatever I can give, I will do my best to send it to you." ”

Tong Yuqing's smile froze, but soon she smiled again, concentrating on enjoying the time of dancing with the flowers and swaying in the wind.
