Chapter 10: The Narrow Road
"Yun Qing," for some reason, she called his name very smoothly. "The begonia cake in the pastry shop in front of me is extremely delicious, I've been salivating for a long time, you can help me buy some back."
She shook his arm a little coquettishly.
Xu Yunqing looked up at the long queue at the door of the pastry shop, and shook his head helplessly, but still walked forward obediently.
His wife is naturally pampered.
He Mian'er watched Xu Yunqing's back go away, turned around and slipped into a small alley.
There was a half-closed shop in the alley, and the entrance was moss-green, and it seemed that few people visited.
The sound of "knock knock" was heard in the silent alley.
"Old man, are you there?" He Mian'er asked tentatively.
The pounding of medicine inside stopped, and the old, slow cough sounded. He Mian'er got up and walked inside.
Walking out of the alley, He Mian'er carefully touched the medicine bag in her arms, remembering the old man's warning words just now.
"This Shunzi soup is extremely cold by nature, if you take it for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any more children in the future, you have to think about it."
Not to mention thinking about it, in the past three years, she has already thought about it countless times.
If she is willing to fall and become a concubine for others, and even her own children are concubines, then she should really be punished.
What is the life of the concubine and the concubine, the daughter of the eldest lady before naturally doesn't know, but in the past three years, she has seen the world all over the world, but what does she know.
Xu Yunqing will have a wife sooner or later and will have his own children.
"Where have you been? Let me look for it. Xu Yunqing walked quickly from not far away, looking a little less calm.
"Yunqing, look, it's March 3 soon, it's time to put river lanterns, these river lanterns are so beautiful." He Mian'er pointed to the small stall on the side of the road.
Xu Yunqing's attention was naturally attracted. "March 3rd, I'll take you to put the river lantern then."
This promise warmed He Mian'er's heart.
March 3 is a day of nostalgia for his deceased relatives, if he hadn't come back, she would probably have put another river lantern for him this year.
Xu Yunqing probably wanted to make up for He Mian'er, and after lunch, he took He Mian'er to the opera garden to listen to the play.
The news of Xu Yunqing's return had already spread in the capital. No, the story of "Yang Jiajiang" is being staged in the opera garden at the moment, and the martial arts on the stage are playing indiscriminately, which attracts a lot of applause from the audience.
The steward in the opera garden is naturally a discerning person, otherwise he would not have been able to mix in the capital for so many years in the mixed forces of all parties.
As soon as Xu Yunqing entered the door, he was recognized by the person in charge. "General, you are good old, you can come back, it is really a blessing." The steward's face was full of smiles.
After all, Mrs. Xu used to be the best, and the two brothers of the Xu family also accompanied their grandmother to watch the play.
"The one in charge is the usual wing, the one by the south." Xu Yunqing didn't say much, and pulled He Mian'er to stride in.
"Yo, this is the young grandmother of the General's Mansion, the little one has seen the young grandmother." The person in charge actually stopped He Mian'er to say hello.
He Mian'er nodded slightly, after all, she was a married woman, so it was inconvenient to talk to foreign men more.
As she spoke, Xu Yunqing pulled her in a few more steps.
"General Xu, I think it's not a small arrangement for you to the west of the wing, which has recently been redecorated again, and it is spacious and ......bright," the man in charge was still chattering.
I could only hear a soft female voice from the south wing, "Who is making noise outside the door?" "The inquiry is tactful and not lacking in majesty.
As soon as the voice came out, He Mian'er immediately looked back at Xu Yunqing next to him, and sure enough, his whole person was already frozen in place, as if he had been clicked on the acupoint, motionless.
"Now, you're not allowed to run around." The soft voice sounded again.
A richly dressed little fat man with a tiger's head poked his head out nimbly and looked at the crowd outside the door suspiciously.
"Now, if you are disobedient again, be careful of your father's punishment." Just when He Mian'er didn't know how to react, the female voice had already arrived at the door.
I saw a gorgeously dressed, fair-skinned and beautiful young woman open the door, squatted down softly, and said to the little fat man, "You can't be naughty anymore." ”
As she spoke, she followed the little boy's line of sight and looked up, but the rest of the words were choked back in her throat.
He Mian'er sighed, leaned over and saluted, and said, "Princess Chen is good, the prince is good." "It's a narrow road.
Probably He Mian'er's voice finally broke the dead silence just now, and the sweaty steward finally reacted, and immediately came over to play a round:
"Princess Chen, it's a villain, damn it, accidentally took the guest to the wrong place and disturbed your purity, please take care of yourself."
Xie Wanqing didn't seem to hear He Mian'er and the steward's words, she was still stupidly stunned, staring at the man in front of her in a daze.
"Mother, I'm hungry." The little boy probably couldn't stand the fact that everyone ignored him, so he tugged at his mother's sleeve and said coquettishly.
The maid in the back immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed the little boy a piece of pastry.
The little boy refused to give up, and insisted on having his mother feed him herself.
Xie Wanqing finally came back to her senses and squatted down to coax the child, but He Mian'er only felt that her voice seemed to be a little choked.
Looking back, Xu Yunqing, who was still standing here just now, had already left without knowing when.
"Young grandma, do you think you should go to the wing room in the west?" The person in charge only felt that he had just been closed from the ghost gate. Sweating non-stop.
He Mian'er shook her head and walked out.
Where Xu Yunqing went, she didn't pay attention to it.
On the contrary, it was Xie Wanqing, she seemed to be doing well. Also, that kid just now.
He Mian'er touched the medicine bag in her arms again, that child, the age does not seem to be too young.
On the contrary, he looks like he is about two years old......
He Mian'er didn't dare to think further.
She suddenly remembered when Xie Wanqing left the house. At that time, she had not yet been freed from Xu Yunqing's death, and she was confused about the road ahead, and she was stupid day by day, and she didn't know where she was.
Now that she counts it, Xie Wanqing's letter of resignation was written to her by He Mian'er.
At that time, it was only half a year since Xu Yunqing passed away. It seems that soon, I heard the news of her remarriage.
Now that I think about it, Xie Wanqing, who has always been affectionate, ignored the speculation of the people in the capital, and was in a hurry to get married, afraid that he would have secretly settled with that King Chen a long time ago.
Xie Wanqing is really a good means.
He Mian'er remembered the child she had just seen, clever and cute.
She likes and likes children very much, but unfortunately, she will never have a child of her own in her life.
Xie Wanqing, the daughter of a nine-grade sesame official, married Chen Wang as his wife and gave birth to her own children.
And she, the daughter of a dignified royal history, is married as a concubine and will not have heirs for life.
This is really the so-called creation of people.
She is a good hand of cards, no wonder her parents cut off her relationship.
He Mian'er stood on the crowded street, and for the first time realized in her heart how to write the word "regret".
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
No matter whether the future is good or bad, she has no way out, she can only go one way down.
