Chapter 219: You Come and I Come
Still relying on the wind and rain outside, there are a lot of bamboo charcoal packets in the house, and there are a few pots of refreshing Su mint, drinking the sweet smell of tea and fruit, and it is also a quiet room.
The sweet and soft dim sum fruits in the bamboo basket were eaten and talked about by Miss Qin like this, and most of them went unknowingly. However, the maids under Diancui are very eye-catching, and they keep changing this trick.
Qin Qingqing looked at Diancui and listened to her talk about her past with Brother Yuan, and her heart became more and more proud and disdainful, and her heart became more and more sweet......
Seeing that most of the day had passed, Dian Cui saw that the sun was about to set outside, so he enthusiastically left Qin Qingqing to eat in the house. Qin Qingqing realized that she had eaten too many dim sums, and when she heard about dinner, she felt a little bloated and nauseous.
She has always wanted to save face, but today she can't be known by others like this, and she motioned for Cangcang to help her up, and she was about to leave.
"Let's eat the adult's favorite stuffed melon for dinner tonight!" Dian Cui clapped his hands and smiled: "I know that my lord likes to eat stuffed melons, I will make some every year, and he is happy to eat it, saying that it has a familiar taste." ”
Qin Qingqing's figure, which was about to stand up, paused, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Stuffed melon is the most common pickle in every household in our Hangzhou Mansion, but at that time, I didn't expect that Brother Yuan would also like such a simple and extremely simple small dish." ”
Diancui nodded, and said: "Miss Qin said that adults don't like sweets, I didn't know, and I made some butter soaked snail jujube paste walnut sweet bean cake with him every day, and when I saw that he ate cleanly, I thought he liked sweets......
Qin Qingqing's body was a little stiff, and Diancui said leisurely:
"Hey...... Why does he care so much about my mind? ”
"I heard that Mrs. was born in the first family in the capital, and Brother Yuan has been living in the house for a long time, and he has a lot of thoughts about it." Hum! If it weren't for your mother's wealth, would Brother Yuan be able to wronged himself like this?
Diancui blinked, he used to be looked down upon in the capital because of his own business, but here he was raised again, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
"Okay, okay." Dian Cui smiled very modestly.
"Madam, Qingqing is a little unwell, so I won't stay for dinner," Qin Qingqing slowly got up and said, "Farewell." ”
"Xin'er send one to Miss Qin......" Diancui shouted.
"No need...... Qin Qingqing frowned, and walked out of the courtyard quickly with the help of Cangcang, no matter what manners he had, he ran straight out.
"Gross!"
The general came out of the courtyard with a little emerald, and before he could return to his residence, Qin Qingqing couldn't help but vomit anymore.
"Miss! What happened to you? "The sky is horrified.
Qin Qingqing didn't care about her, and she only vomited a lot in her belly.
Qin Qingqing almost vomited and lost her breath, there were a few suspicious things on her chest, her hair was messy and her face was sallow, where was there still a trace of dignified momentum in the past?
Cang Cang could not bear to look at the filth on the ground, but he had to clean it carefully, and complained with hatred:
"I think that Mrs. Yuan did it on purpose, deliberately leading Miss to eat so many greasy and greasy things, so as to make Miss ugly!"
Looking at the people of the Xue family who came and went, they looked at it curiously, and walked away with a disgusted face. Qin Qingqing covered her face and almost wanted to die of shame and anger, and she hated the innocent Gui Shi in her heart.
As for Diancui's side, after hearing Xin'er's return, she reported that Qin Qingqing had made a big fool in the garden outside, and sighed in her heart that if she wanted to take care of a concubine, she would first have to hit her self-esteem and make her embarrassed. I think this time it was a success, but Dian Cui couldn't raise any interest in his heart.
It was easy to stop the rain, and Diancui went out with the maid to disperse the sullenness.
In the past few days, Xue Dachuan has often been following him, and Dian Cui has also seen clearly, he is nothing more than for Qiuyue. Qiuyue is now the year of flowers, and if the marriage is not finalized, I am afraid that it will be delayed. But for this Xue Dachuan, Dian Cui always felt that he would inevitably be too rude if he wanted to match Qiuyue. Besides, he is now the governor of Qianjiang County, and Qiu Yue is a woman in the capital, if he follows him, he will have to live away from his relatives in his hometown for the rest of his life.
Because of some concerns in her heart, Diancui didn't say anything about it, thinking that she would wait for an appropriate time to ask Qiuyue what she meant.
Qianjiang County is the land of fish and rice, and silkworm spinning is raised, and there are some large and small workshops in the county. The big ones are small enough to raise a few more hired workers, the small ones are mainly families with many children, the men are still farming outside, the mother-in-law takes the diligent daughter-in-law to raise silkworms and spin yarn, and the young girls can help the family chop wood and cook rice to take care of the milk dolls.
Diancui's family looked at it, and they thought it was very interesting, and they whispered and laughed with Qiu Yue in front.
Xue Dachuan in the back was also smiling, but a pair of bright eyes were fixed on Qiu Yue's back.
"Brother Xue, you hang out with us every day, so you don't have to be busy with your own business?" Xin'er covered her mouth and laughed and quipped.
Xue Dachuan was not annoyed, he smiled at me, what is the important matter, protecting and taking care of Mrs. is a big deal.
When he said this, he even laughed at the winter snow in front of him, this Xue brother is really ashamed, when the lord left, he deliberately left two martial arts officials to protect the safety of his wife, where can he go.
Dong Xue smiled, Qiu Yue's face turned red, she stomped her feet but refused to look back at Xue Dachuan who was staring at her, and only helped her lady to walk forward in a daze.
"What a coincidence, ma'am." Just as the master and servant were acquiescing, a soft call came from behind.
Qiuyue and Dongxue glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, Diancui turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss Qin also came out to breathe." ”
Qin Qingqing smiled and bowed slightly.
"Why don't we be together." Diancui said with a smile.
Qin Qingqing bowed her head and slowly followed, her posture was smooth and decent.
"That is the prefect's wife, she is really dignified and generous." The women who were in the clothes by the well, the people who carried water and watered the vegetables, and the women who squatted under the trees to pick vegetables, gathered together to look at these well-dressed foreigners, and the people who accompanied each other, were not ordinary people, and the women wanted to talk about it.
"That's true, you see her posture is steady and plain, she thinks she is a kind person, and our prefect is really a match made in heaven."
When Yuan Zhiheng first came, everyone in the people below was cowardly, thinking that he was as tyrannical and ruthless as rumored. But after a few cold actions, not only the government is willing to do practical things for the people, but even those clans who are rampant and domineering in the past few days are honest and dare not bully people at will. The people were grateful for Lord Yuan's kindness, and those tyrannical and ruthless notorieties immediately turned into a good reputation of loving the people like children.
Dressed in a steady and simple manner, Diancui looked down at his big red satin gold wire trimmed Shu embroidered Hangzhou silk shirt skirt, and rubbed his forehead with his tender white little hands that wore three jade-inlaid Baoming red gold rings.
"The pearl pendant on the bead hoop of the ruby carved gold leaf on the forehead of the lady is crooked, and the slave and maid will sort it out with you." Xin'er hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Diancui squinted at Qin Qingqing, who was in the same place as herself, a half-old stone blue banana cloth shirt, a reed-gray silk skirt, and a simple Ruyi bun with only an ebony hairpin pinned to it.
Qin Qingqing noticed that Dian Cui was peeking at her, and the smile in her eyes was even worse, and her posture became more elegant and generous.
"It's a pity that this appearance is a little more ordinary......"
The woman scooped a scoop of water and sprinkled it on the green cabbage, sighed.
"Poof", the maid Xin'er laughed out loud. The smile in Qin Qingqing's eyes has not faded, and at this time, her expression seems to be smiling rather than smiling, but not angry, and it is "good-looking".
"What do you know, compared to the delicate aunt next to her who wears gold and silver, although her appearance is ordinary, but the wife is better than her generosity." The older mother-in-law on the side did not approve of the words of the watering woman.
"Giggles" It will be the maid's turn to laugh non-stop, and for a moment she forgot and pointed to Cui and smiled:
She said...... It's my aunt......"
"Presumptuous!" Diancui's face rarely changed, and her usually watery eyes were covered with a layer of coldness at this time, which made her whole person suddenly become very majestic.
She has never been a generous person, and being able to tolerate the Qin family as a concubine is the biggest concession. But if anyone dares to mess with the seniority of this wife and concubine, it will provoke her against the scales.
Those chattering women stopped all of a sudden, and Qin Qingqing was a little embarrassed on her face.
Xue Dachuan, who was in the back, immediately reacted, put away his previous hippie smile, and stepped forward coldly.
"Get on your knees!" Dongxue pointed at the firmament and scolded coldly:
"There are no rules in the ground, my wife's dignified lady of the fourth prefect, in fact, you can use your fingers to point to the little maid, if so, don't ask for this finger!"
The cang, who was kneeling awkwardly, turned pale when he heard this, pretended to be calm, and looked coldly at the cold winter snow.
This girl is really tough, Dian Cui sneered.
Xue Dachuan stepped forward and lifted the girl's arm, and when he took the finger, he was about to break it off.
"Woman, please calm your anger, my maid is also unscrupulous for a while, and please Mrs. has a large number." In front of everyone's eyes, Qin Qingqing's face turned pale and quickly asked:
"There is a way that connects ten fingers to the heart, and please don't break the cang's fingers because of a joke."
"Madam......" Dongxue asked Dian Cui, Dian Cui felt very boring, waved his hand, and said, keep his fingers first, and wait for the slap to be twenty when he returns home!
This...... This, it turns out that this beautiful woman in red is the real prefect's wife! The women, knowing that they had lost their words, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted one after another to see Madame, Madame to atone for her sins.
"Mrs. Xie...... Raise your hand! Qin Qingqing only understood at this time that there were many things in this world, and in an instant, she was no longer the intimate Qingmei beside Yuan Zhiheng, and the woman in front of her who was dressed in red and full of pearls was the one who stood side by side with him and was worshiped by the people of Hangzhou.
"Those who do not know are not guilty, so get up." Diancui's voice recovered slightly, but when he spoke loudly, he was still a little unable to lift his energy, but the high head became more and more lazy and delicate.
"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie." The women touched the sweat on their heads and got up, and when they were far away, they could not help but speak:
Look at your eyes, only such a noble, arrogant, young and beautiful woman can be worthy of our young and promising prefect, right? The one who looks very depressed in plain clothes, and he is old, how can an adult like it?
It's just ......
Here, Qiu Yue carefully looked at Madame's face, and asked softly, "Madame is tired, let's go back?" ”
Diancui shook his head, it was easy to come out, although he was angry, but he just wanted to open it, and he couldn't see the master and servant. Seeing these people busy for their own little days, Diancui gradually felt stable and steady in his heart, but he missed his own adults more and more.
"Grow up, grow up, it's not good, then the aunt of the Li family wants to throw her daughter-in-law into the well!"
It's a pity that such a quiet and stable good time didn't last long, and interpersonal disputes are indispensable between these rural areas, and now it sounds like a personal lawsuit. Dian Cui looked at Xue Dachuan in this place to see how he dealt with it.
Although Xue Dachuan went to Qiuyue to catch up whenever he had free time, he was not a idle person.
"Let's go, let's see." The lieutenant Xue Dachuan confessed to Diancui, and hurriedly followed the fellow.
