Zhou Qiu likes Sun Changyin very much and is willing to make friends with the Sun family for her, but this "friendship" is by no means a means of clinging to the Sun family, or even obeying orders. His marriage to Sun Changyin must not be reduced to a bargaining chip for power exchange.

This point, before getting married, Zhou Qiu had already made it clear to his parents and the patriarch of the Zhou family, who was around his eldest uncle.

No matter what outsiders say, at least in his place, the Sun family is just his wife's maiden family, not a powerful family that leans towards the government and the opposition.

The surroundings also came over when he was young, thinking that his nephew was just a young man with a simple and fiery heart, and after a while, when the passion retreated, he would find that the marriage with the Sun family was of great benefit to himself and the Zhou family.

So I didn't think much about it at the time, so I agreed.

Han Yan didn't know the agreement between the surroundings and Zhou Qiu, and when he saw Zhou Qiu's contemplative face, he thought that he was worried about the current situation, so he smiled and sighed, and helplessly comforted him: "This is not a phenomenon unique to this dynasty, there is no shortage of parties and private affairs in all dynasties. Brother Zhou doesn't have to be depressed and depressed, so as not to hurt his body. ”

Zhou Qiu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Why do I have to work hard? How do you work hard? …… Thank you Brother Han for your concern. ”

In the Zhou family, the family is around his eldest uncle, although he is increasingly valued by the clan because of his outstanding talent, especially because he married Sun Changyin, but it is related to the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and it is related to Han Yan, and he has little room for beaking.

Han Yan had a deep understanding of Zhou Qiu's situation in the Zhou family, so he didn't want to talk about this matter, so he naturally changed the topic, only talking about the fierce year shown by the celestial hexagram, and discussing with Zhou Qiu how to properly resolve the matter in advance.

The two of them gossiped about a pot of tea, and the already not very bright sunlight was obscured by the clouds, and the sky slowly darkened, and the cold wind swished through the window.

Late in the day, the sky wants snow.

Han Yan and Zhou Qiu saw that the sky was not good, so they got up to say goodbye to each other, and each carried a large bag of silk flowers home.

In Zhou's house, Sun Changyin was in Mrs. Zhou's room, accompanying them to play a few cards, and heard the maid come to report that Zhou Qiu was back and was looking for her everywhere, so she got up and complained to several elders and asked for her resignation.

Seeing this, the surrounding ladies smiled and joked to her: "Your sister-in-law, they all say that your husband and wife are very affectionate, which is enviable." I didn't believe it before, but now I can see it with my own eyes! ”

Sun Changyin blushed when he heard this, and it was difficult to argue, so he had to bow his head shyly, and twisted his fingers into the handkerchief.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother smiled and helped her out: "You are heavy now, you have been with us for so long, you should have been tired, go back to the room to rest." You don't have to come over for dinner, let the kitchen be delivered to your yard. ”

Sun Changyin threw a grateful smile at Zhou's mother, then bent his knees to say goodbye to everyone, and was helped out of the house by the maid.

When the footsteps gradually subsided, Mrs. Zhou teased Zhou's mother with envy: "My brother and sister are a daughter-in-law, if this makes those debt collectors in our courtyard see it, don't you have to make trouble with me?" ”

In the latter sentence, the voice was extremely low, but the helplessness of complaining could not be concealed.

When Zhou's mother and others heard this, they comforted Mrs. Zhou very sympathetically and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle with your children and grandchildren." Sister-in-law and relax, the children's affairs are solved by themselves, why are you so thankless and not a person inside and out? ”

Mrs. Zhou only has two sons in this life, but they are all average qualifications and are not of great use, otherwise, Zhou Qiu would not have surpassed their two sons in law and became the most valued son of the family.

That's all, but Mrs. Zhou's two sons are still weak and incompetent, and the wives they marry are all from famous families and have fierce personalities, and the two brothers become strict wives, and they have to act with their respective daughters-in-law every time.

For this reason, Mrs. Zhou worked hard to take care of her son's family.

But the two daughters-in-law are ignorant of etiquette, thinking that every time Mrs. Zhou settles a dispute, it is to protect her son, and she doesn't say it on the surface, but she always has to talk about it afterwards, and deliberately embarrass Mrs. Zhou in other things.

Mrs. Zhou only felt exhausted, and it was more difficult to fight wits and courage with the concubines around her when she was young.

For this reason, Mrs. Zhou complained a lot in front of the concubines.

In addition, the Zhou family has not yet been divided, everyone lives in one place, although the yard is divided, but the movement of each family will be heard when it is big, and over time, Mrs. Zhou's two daughters-in-law are fierce and difficult to tame, and it has become a "secret" that everyone in the Zhou family knows.

It's not the first time that Mrs. Zhou has heard the concubines persuade her like this, and after listening to it too much, she has no comfort effect at all.

Fortunately, she is getting older and older, and her heart is getting bigger and bigger, otherwise if she still has the same things as when she was young, she will be angry with those uneasy things a long time ago.

"The daughter-in-law of the high family is not easy to serve...... Mrs. Zhou sighed with emotion, and after saying that, her tone paused, and then turned her head to look at Zhou's mother, and asked with a puzzled and envious expression, "My younger brother and sister are lucky, I married the youngest daughter of the Sun family as the eldest daughter-in-law, but I can still get the respect of my daughter-in-law, and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, so I really envy us."

"I don't know, what magic weapon does my brother and sister have to train my daughter-in-law?"

Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled helplessly and sighed: "What magic weapon can I have?" It's just a matter of being more considerate of her and following her more. ”

Her husband's official position is not obvious, and all her hopes in this life are in her eldest son, who is outstanding in talent and virtue, how dare she neglect the eldest daughter-in-law who can help her eldest son have a smooth career?

Fortunately, although Sun Changyin is occasionally pampered and willful, she still knows the etiquette that she should know, no matter what she thinks in her heart, at least she will not be embarrassed in public. Therefore, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been able to be safe and sound all the time and look harmonious and harmonious.

When Mrs. Zhou heard Mother Zhou say this, she sighed, shook her head, and didn't say anything more.

If she wants her to follow her daughter-in-law in everything like Zhou's mother, she can't do it, and she can't do it, who doesn't let her have a smart son who is as capable and motivated as Zhou Qiu and can coax her daughter-in-law to be happy all the time?

Alas, accept her fate, her life is a life of worrying about hard work!

Mrs. Zhou lamented and complained, and Sun Changyin was stunned at the table of silk flowers spread out by Zhou Qiu.

"How can there be so many silk flowers?" As Sun Changyin spoke, he picked up those silk flowers and looked at them carefully, and whispered in confusion for a while, "I didn't see anything special......

It's just the ordinary silk flowers that can be seen everywhere on the street.

Seeing this, Zhou Qiu stepped forward and told him that he had to work hard to set up a stall on the first day of the first month because he sympathized with the hawker, and even more sympathized with his wife's illness and tried his best to make silk flowers to sell to support his family, and said with a smile at the end: "Brother Han and I sympathized with his misfortune, so we simply bought all the silk flowers of the vendor in a joint venture, so that he could have money to see and take medicine for his wife, and secondly, so that he could close the stall earlier and reunite with his family." ”

Sun Changyin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a sneering question, "Brother Han?" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Qiu did not doubt that he had him, so he explained with a smile: "It's Mrs. Han." Today I was buying silk flowers, I never thought that he would come to pick them out, and after the two of us learned about the peddler's family background, we simply gave all his silk flowers to Bao Yuan'er. ”

Sun Changyin's face changed, and when he saw Zhou Qiu talking and looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly avoided it by looking at the silk flowers.

Regarding the fact that she once liked Han Yan, except for herself and Han Yan, only the relatives of each family knew.

By the way, there is also Shu Yu......

Although she couldn't help herself, she also knew that "affection" should be "polite", so in addition to secretly pestering Han Yan to play when she visited Han Mansion - although Han Yan would always avoid it, there was nothing else unruly.

Because of this, others, including Zhou Qiu, have no way of knowing about her secret heart and past.

Sun Changyin had no intention of hiding Zhou Qiu, but he also felt that there was no need to mention the things that had passed, which caused dislike between husband and wife. Since she decided to agree to this family affair and marry Zhou Qiu with peace of mind, she was rushing to live a good life with him, but she didn't want to ruin the present that was at her fingertips because of the irretrievable past.

But she never expected that Zhou Qiu, who had never had anything to do with Han Yan, would meet Han Yan by chance, and it seemed that Zhou Qiu still admired the other party very much.

This made her a little confused for a moment, and she didn't know what to do.

Zhou Qiu also thought that his wife was stunned and puzzled by the fact that he and Han Yan bought all the silk flowers because of sympathy, so he explained with a smile: "Brother Han said afterwards that we and the vendor are the same people, so we will save others by ourselves and buy all his silk flowers. ”

"Like-minded? Doing it yourself? Sun Changyin was stunned and looked up and asked.

Zhou Qiu nodded, and smiled proudly: "The way of loving a wife in the same place." That's why I can't see that the vendor's wife is sick and can't see a doctor, and she has to work hard to support her sick body. ”

His eyes were bright and bright, and he looked at Sun Changyin intently, as if everything in heaven and earth no longer existed, and in his eyes, there was only one person in front of him.

Seeing this, Sun Changyin couldn't help but blush his cheeks.

Zhou Qiu saw that he was moved, stepped forward to take her in his arms, and whispered softly: "Being able to marry you is the luckiest thing in my life Zhou Qiu!" I will use my life to repay God for this love to me! ”

Sun Changyin's face was red when she heard this, and she was very moved in her heart, and at the same time she felt ashamed, ashamed that she had a period of infatuation with Han Yan before she met Zhou Qiu, and even almost ruined the marriage between them with her own hands because of this.

However, if it weren't for the blind and superficial love for Han Yan at the beginning, she wouldn't understand now that Zhou Qiu's love is so deep and passionate, it is worth her life to respond.

Sun Changyin raised his hand around Zhou Qiu's waist, buried his whole face in his arms, and replied softly and solemnly to his strong and powerful heart: "My heart is the same!"

When she said this, she suddenly felt loosened, and the invisible shackles that had bound her for a long time were suddenly lifted. Han Yan's figure gradually blurred in his mind, and Zhou Qiu's body that hugged him was warm and sincere.

When she tried to recall the youthful and frivolous years, she suddenly found that Han Yan, who she had chased like a sunflower chasing the sun, had degenerated into a name and a code name.

Sun Changyin knew that he had completely let go of his obsession this time, let go of his obsession when he was young, and ushered in a more and more happy marriage with Zhou Qiu!

Zhou Qiu didn't know about Sun Changyin's psychological changes, but he was very keenly aware of his wife's love and attachment to him more than before, he tried hard to recall what had just happened, and finally happily came to a conclusion - his wife loves to listen to him say sweet words!

So in the days that followed, Zhou Qiu often said some love words to Sun Changyin that made people blush or heartbeat, and the relationship between the couple became better and better.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Let's say that after Zhou Qiu and Sun Changyin had a long time grinding with their ears and temples, they remembered what was going on, so they said goodbye to their wife for a while, and went to the front yard to find the surroundings to talk.

The surroundings were playing chess with Zhou's father, and they were fighting inseparably, and he frowned and thought about it, and it took a long time for a son to fall.

Seeing that it was not easy to disturb, Zhou Qiu stood next to him and watched the battle silently.

Black and white, you come and go, fight endlessly, so it's not lively.

It's a pity that Zhou Qiu was bent on thinking about Han Yan's hexagram and the murderous year, so he didn't care about the chess game at all, and thought hard for a while about how to persuade the surrounding area to store more grain to prepare for the famine.

finally waited for the end of the game, and the surrounding people who finally lost while collecting chess joked and complained about Zhou Qiu: "Sure enough, father and son are concentric!" You watched from the side for so long, and saw that your uncle was about to fall, and you didn't know how to help your uncle, alas, you are still closer to your father......"

Zhou Qiu hurriedly smiled and said: "'A true gentleman who is silent when watching chess, and a husband who has no regrets', this sentence was taught to me by my uncle at the beginning." Although Qiu is not sensitive, he must follow his uncle's teachings! ”

The surroundings laughed when they heard this, shook their heads and sighed, "You, you...... It's really amazing! I can't complain that Lord Shoufu will choose you to replace Xie Zhiyi. ”

Zhou Qiu smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not answer.

He is happy to replace Xie Zhiyi, after all, it is normal for personnel to be transferred in the officialdom, but if it is to fight for power and profit, from the bottom of his heart, he is not willing to do such a thing.

However, the matter has not yet been decided in the end, and there is no need for him to discuss it clearly with his surroundings now, otherwise, it seems that he can't hold his breath and pretends to excuse himself.

It's just a casual mention around, and no one can say anything that hasn't been done.

After putting away the chessboard, he looked around at the hourglass and said with a smile: "Before I knew it, it was already so late, and it was almost dinner time." ”

Zhou Qiu nodded and said, "When my nephew came over, I already saw that the kitchen was busy. ”

After a moment of conversation, he sighed abruptly: "It's just that I don't know how many people in this world still can't eat when they get to dinner......
