Wen Zifu and Qiu Xian bowed their hands and said: "Under the surname Wen, a person from Lin'an, he brought his relatives to Beijing to take up his post, this is my daughter and niece." ”

Wen Yan and Wen Jing saluted Qiu Xian, and obediently retreated behind Wen Zifu.

Qiu Xian said in surprise: "This girl doesn't seem to be the one on the deck just now." ”

"That's also a little girl," Wen Zifu said, "and my mother stayed with her, so she couldn't come." ”

Qiu Xian didn't ask anymore, led everyone into the cabin, and said, "I introduced myself before, do you want Lord Wen to take a look at my guide?" ”

Wen Zifu smiled and waved his hand.

Qiu Xian was very positive, Wen Zifu politely refused, but he still insisted on taking out the way.

"Really, no fraud, no impostor." Qiu Xian said with a laugh.

"Brother Qiu is really witty." Wen Zifu said.

Wine and food had already been prepared in the cabin of the hall, Qiu Xian invited Wen Zifu to take a seat, and asked the maid to take the Wen sisters to meet his sister.

Miss Qiu was in the room, and when she saw the guests coming, she whispered softly, "My name is Qiu Ran." ”

Qiu Ran looked a few years older than Wen Yan, with a delicate appearance, and was sitting on the couch embroidering just now.

The room is lit with spices, and it is a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers.

He was elegantly dressed, and he wore a few pieces of jade jewelry on his head, probably for the convenience of embroidery, and nothing else on his fingers except a thimble.

Wen Jing introduced herself, her eyes fell on the embroidery bandage, and said, "This pomegranate flower is really beautiful." ”

Compared with his brother Qiu Xian, Qiu Ran is not only much different in age, but also has completely different visions and preferences.

Wen Yan sat down and said with a smile: "Our boat is also blocked in the waterway, Brother Ling accosted my uncle, and said that he would invite him to eat and drink." After asking, I found out that it was Sister Qiu who was bored, and he saw that there were girls of the same age on our ship, and wanted us to talk to my sister for a while. ”

Qiu Ran smiled gently: "My brother is always overly enthusiastic, if he causes trouble, I will treat him as an apology." ”

Wen Yan said: "It's not troublesome, meeting is fate, I'm just thinking, the relationship between our brothers and sisters is really good." ”

Qiu Ranwaner: "My brother takes good care of me, although he didn't grow up together, he is a good brother." ”

"Didn't you grow up together?" Wen Yan pretended to be curious, muttered, and when she saw Qiu Ran looking at her, she quickly waved her hand again, making an embarrassed look, "I'm not trying to peep at anything, sister, don't blame." ”

"It's okay," Qiu Ran didn't like it at all, and said, "I am far from my brother, he got married in Beijing, and I grew up in Yuanzhou, and I didn't see him until my father was killed and my brother rushed back to Yuanzhou from the capital."

After that, I lived with my brother, and my parents were gone, so he couldn't rest assured of me. ”

Wen Yan listened to Qiu Ran with a smile, it didn't sound like a problem on the surface, but there was something strange under the scrutiny.

Qiu Min passed away six or seven years ago, when Qiu Ran was eight or nine years old, why hadn't the brother and sister met.

If she remembers correctly, Qiu Xian and her original partner have been married for four years, that is to say, when Qiu Xian got married, Qiu Ran was four or five years old.

The previous movement between the two brothers and sisters was even less than that of Wen Yan and Lin'an's old house.

Wen Yan thought in his heart, but said: "There is such a conscientious brother, so that the Venerable Lingtang Quanxia knows, he must also be very pleased."

Yes, my sister just said that my brother is married, isn't my sister-in-law on the boat?

Or is she taking care of the children in Beijing, and they take a boat back to Beijing to reunite with her? ”

Speaking of her sister-in-law, Qiu Ran's smile faded, and she sighed: "Don't hide it, my sister-in-law is no longer alive, and I sent my father back to my hometown that year, and my sister-in-law was seriously injured and was not saved." I've only been with my sister-in-law for a few decades, but she's really nice person and I like her a lot. ”

"Ahh Wen Yan covered her mouth and exclaimed, "I don't know, Sister Qiu mourns." ”

Wen Jing sat obediently on the side, did not take the initiative to interject, and watched Wen Yan act.

Wen Hui told her that Qiu Xian was the ex-nephew and son-in-law of Lord Bi, and the niece sent her father-in-law to the ground, and when she came back, she became a jar of ashes, which was difficult for Lord Bi's sisters and brothers to accept.

Wen Yan boarded the ship to try to inquire about some old things.

Wen Jing was afraid that the cooperation would not be good, but she would drag Wen Yan back, so she became a well-behaved person, observing Qiu Ran and Wen Yan.

Wen Yan is still leading Qiu Ran to speak, saying that he lost his footing, said about treatment, and said that Qiu Xian ignited the fire later.

The more Wen Jing listened, the more she admired, if she didn't know that Wen Yan had a plan, she wouldn't have noticed the inducement from the questioning at all, and she wouldn't have any rejection, just just say it in a hurry and follow it.

With Qiu Ran's narration, Wen Yan was sometimes surprised, sometimes sad, his expression was accurate, and his emotions were extremely in place.

No wonder, the Cao family asked her and Wen Hui to learn more from Wen Yan.

Wen Yan's ability to dominate the situation is enough for her to learn for a long time.

Thinking of this, Wen Jing was not distracted anymore, and hurriedly surprised and sad.

Although she can't guide, this expression can still do.

In just two quarters of an hour, Qiu Ran opened his heart to Wen Yan.

"In the future, I will live in Beijing, so I must come and go more and talk to you, I am very happy." Qiu Ran said.

Wen Yanyi smiled and nodded: "My uncle has just been transferred to Beijing, I don't know where we will live after we arrive in Beijing, where my sister's family lives, we will go to play after we settle down." ”

Qiu Ran got up, went to the bookcase to write down the detailed residence, gently dried the paper, and handed it to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan said with a smile: "My sister's handwriting is really beautiful. ”

Wen Jing also echoed: "Really, my sister is really amazing, the embroidery is lifelike, and the words are well written." ”

Qiu Ran's cheeks were slightly red: "It's all taught by my mother." ”

The three of them talked for almost an hour, and when it was late at night, Wen Zifu asked someone to call them back.

Qiu Ran was reluctant: "If the boat still can't move tomorrow, let's come over again." ”

Wen Yan answered and left with Wen Jing.

Wen Zifu stood in the aisle outside the hall, his face flushed with wine.

Wen Yan glanced in, Qiu Xian fell drunk on the table, and the two little guys were helping him up.

Qiu Xian couldn't stand up straight, and shouted to Wen Zifu: "Still drinking, still drinking!" ”

The housekeeper of the enemy family couldn't help but apologize to Wen Zifu: "I made you laugh." ”

Back on his boat, Wen Zifu asked Wen Jing to go first, and then he pressed his eyebrows and said to Wen Yan: "He knew that I was going to take over from Shuntian Tongzhi, so he said that he had something to do with Master Bi, but because of a misunderstanding, Lord Bi hated him very much."

That's right, he is conceited and unrestrained, and the topic revolves around Lord Bi, and even bluntly says that Lord Bi questioned him for killing his wife. ”

What's even more exaggerated is that Qiu Xian didn't know if he was too drunk, so he shook his head and asked Wen Zifu: "Lord Wen, look at me, do you look like someone who will kill his wife?" ”

It's just that Wen Zifu can't drink anymore, he drinks so much, and if he drinks again, maybe he will be the one who lost his words.

Wen Yan said: "Qiu Ran is very simple, and she has no defenses against the people she first met. ”

Wen Zifu bowed: "It's not early, Sister Yan go back to rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Nothing was said all night.

Wen Yan was awakened at dawn on the second day, she rushed to the deck, looked at the Qiu family's ship, Qiu Xian cried and screamed.

"I know that she has nocturnal wandering syndrome, how can I not close the door!" Qiu Xian shouted heartbreakingly, and picked up a person from the deck, "Ah Ran, Ah Ran!" ”

Wen Yan froze in place.

She saw that the person who was picked up and couldn't move was Qiu Ran.

Qiu Ran died.
