Chapter Seventy-Eight: Recollection

Li Wanhe was more than half a month slower than the Qin family, and finally arrived in the capital.

Xiao Dongleng might as well be suddenly called "sister-in-law" by a tower-like man, really, really unaccustomed.

can be called Brother Li by Qin Lie, of course, Li Wanhe is older than Qin Lie. He's got to be in his thirties this year, right? It looks even better than King An...... Cough......

How did Yao Jinfeng like him?

Xiao Dong almost seemed to be in a stuffy gourd, not to mention how curious.

Don't...... Ahem, she's seriously insecure?

Qin Lie is very rough compared with these scholars in the capital, and the sons and brothers. But Qin Lie compared with Li Wanhe, then he immediately became a little white face again. Well, sure enough, people need to be compared, if Xiao Dong is compared with a group of clan sisters and ladies in the capital, he can be regarded as beautiful and cute, but if he goes to the Qin family and Yao Jinfeng, then ......

That's still not comparable, it really hurts self-esteem.

The Qin family really didn't have anything to say to Xiao Dong, she and Yao Jinfeng didn't bring anything in order to hurry before, but this time Li Wanhe came and brought several carts of things. Most of them are for Xiaodong, Suizhou's Suijin is very famous, and there are a lot of cars on it, all of which are suitable for Xiaodong's age. There are also other famous specialties in Suizhou, tea, medicinal herbs, fish cakes, jade, and two tightly wrapped boxes, which have not been unpacked for several layers.

"What is this?"

"This gold is expensive." Yao Jinfeng smiled and said: "You know that there is a strange flower ...... in Suizhou."

"Fire Phoenix Flower." This little winter knows too well.

"Well, this kind of flower can't be planted anywhere else, and it won't live for a month if you move it out with soil. This flower is so good that our local girls use it to make rouge, and some use it to dye wedding dresses. Well, the pollen nectar of the fire phoenix flower is also a good thing, but the amount is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it. These two bottles should be nectar, and the godmother specially collected and prepared them for you, and even I don't have a share. ”

The relationship between the Qin family and Xiaodong has been a lot closer these days, although there are differences in living habits, customs, etc., but they are all minor problems that are easy to overcome. The Qin family is not Han, and there is no mentality and purpose of "the defeated daughter-in-law rubs the noodles", so Xiaodong also saves the process of "boiling, boiling, boiling out, and the daughter-in-law has not yet become a mother-in-law".

In fact, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very simple, everything in this family used to belong to the mother-in-law, the property was, the son was, and so did the power. Suddenly a daughter-in-law came, the son must have belonged to the daughter-in-law, and the power and property of the housekeeper will depend on the two parties to fight for me. Everyone generally marries early, the daughter-in-law is ten years old, the mother-in-law is more than 30, and the mother-in-law is in the prime of life and healthy, and the daughter-in-law has to survive. As long as the mother-in-law lives, the daughter-in-law has to survive as long as she wants. There are often many daughters-in-law who can't survive the mother-in-law who take the first step, and this is not a few - because the mother-in-law has a powerful weapon in both nature and nature. First, the son was born to her, and there is a mother-son relationship, and compared with the daughter-in-law, she spends a lot more time together, and the daughter-in-law is an outsider after all, a foreigner. The second is that the mother-in-law occupies the name of the word "filial piety", and she trains her daughter-in-law to punish her daughter-in-law and beat her daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law can only accept it, otherwise the end is not tragic to describe.

None of these problems existed between Xiao Dong and the Qin clan. The Qin family was originally a Xieyi woman, with an independent personality, and her adopted son was also free-range, which was different from the "captivity" in the Central Plains. In terms of property, Xiaodong's dowry is not ordinarily rich, Qin Lie has his own caravan, as well as treasures from all over the world and delicious residences, most of Qin's business is in Suizhou, and everyone does not match each other. In terms of housekeepers - Xiao Dong's territory, Xiao Dong is the master, and the Qin family is only here to be a guest. However, Xiao Dong thought, even if he and Qin Lie go back to Suizhou in the future, whether it is a long-term residence or a small residence, this is easy to solve, the Qin family loves to run out and does not like to squat at home, and their ambition is to be a strong woman, not a housewife.

Since there are no aspects, it is purely a trivial matter of personality and common language.

Personality and hobbies can be slowly understood by each other, and common language can be cultivated.

Qin Lie hurried back from the shop, Xiao Dong watched the two big and tall men hug each other heavily, and the "bang" sounded loudly, Xiao Dong hurt for them.

The two of them laughed, Qin Lie shouted Brother Li, and Li Wanhe called Brother Qin.

How do you calculate this eldest and youngest? Li Changhe called himself sister-in-law just now, but Qin Lie turned around and called him brother again-

Forget it, each parent calls it, anyway, there is no real blood relationship, aunt, sister-in-law, brother, brother, don't have to be so strict.

Xiao Dong likes to entertain guests, especially such warm and simple guests - the amount of food is particularly good.

In the past, Xiaodong had to be careful when he opened a small flower party at home, or went to someone else's house for a banquet, whether he listened or spoke, for fear that what others said was a trap, and he was afraid that he would inadvertently reveal something. And those people really can't see when they eat, they are full after two bites of dim sum, and the bowl of rice is not bigger than a teacup, and some are smaller than a teacups, just like feeding cats and birds. Eating with such a person, Xiaodong also developed a good habit of being forced to "Sven", eating outside, only eating one bite of the dish, anyway, there are many dishes on the table, and he is full after only one bite of everything. I only eat a little bit of rice, and so does the soup. I don't know if everyone is afraid of fat, pomp, or afraid of people drugged, in short, this small and diverse habit is done in the palace, in the clan, and among the celebrities and powerful in the capital. But that's not the case at home. Whoever likes to eat will eat as much as they like, and whoever likes to eat as much as they like. Xiao Dong asked the kitchen to prepare Suizhou dishes, and he also personally cooked two famous dishes in the capital, one is full of gold and jade, and the other is high mountains and flowing water. Jin Yu Mantang is actually to use spring cakes to roll up the finely chopped vegetables to eat, a large plate with more than 20 items, meat and vegetable miscellaneous, dazzling, who likes to eat what roll what. It looks colorful, but it is very good with the name of Jinyu Mantang, the mountains and rivers are seafood, Suizhou is far away from the sea, and it is not as convenient as the capital to transport seafood. This dish is a bit out of character, it looks like the meat is white, the soup is clear, the visual is bland, and the taste is also lighter for people who are used to eating Suizhou cuisine, Li Wanhe They are not used to eating.

And when they drink, they do not drink with cups, but with bowls. Xiao Dong was stunned, although he didn't drink soju, but this was not sweet rice wine. Don't dare to say anything else, Xiaodong can also drink two pots of rice wine.

"Let them drink," Qin beckoned, and Xiao Dong went over to help her.

She had helped the Empress Dowager Shengci before, and she was no stranger to this kind of posture and movement.

The two walked on the corridor, the wind was blowing on their faces, Qin smiled slightly, and patted the back of Xiao Dong's hand: "Lie'er, this kid has been assertive since he was a child, but fortunately, he rarely takes detours, and even if he does something wrong, he can change it in time." By the way, is that ahead? ”

Xiao Dong said: "That's the study. Said to be the study, in fact, I haven't been in much since I got married, and my mother wants to go in and sit? ”

"It's fine. I'll see what your study looks like, too. The house in Suizhou is also big, but I don't read, and I write letters or something in the account room. ”

There were actually a lot more books in this room than the ones that Xiao Dong left in Yufang Pavilion. She likes to read miscellaneous books, travelogues, cooking, scripts, poetry...... There are even a large number of embroidery samples collected that have been bound into a book, neatly stacked on the shelves. Although it is extremely clean, the house where the owner does not come often lacks a sense of popularity, and it looks cold and dull.

"Mother, sit down."

Qin sat down on the couch and patted the position beside him: "You can sit too." ”

Xiao Dong pulled down the hem of his clothes and sat down as well.

"I just got married, and the first time I entered Lie'er's father's study, I made a big jump, the books were piled up like mountains, the words were so small, and the books were so thick. Not to mention reading them all, even if I were to take them all in my hand and flip them through, it would take a lot of effort to turn over those books. Since I was a child, I have admired people who are literate and literate, who speak a set of words that people can't understand. Later, I realized that reading is not necessarily beneficial. Those people in the Lin family scolded me in front of me, and I didn't understand it. His brothers have also read books, but after they read the books, they don't become officials, and they don't do things, so they use them to make a few crooked poems that don't make sense when they drink flower wine. My mother told me that it was also for my good not to let me marry into the Lin family, not only because of the family rules, but also because I was not used to living like that. I didn't know what it meant within a month of passing through the door, I really couldn't get used to it, I wasn't used to it from head to toe......"

The Qin clan probably drank too much.

Xiao Dong glanced at it, and her face was a little red.

Sure enough, I drank too much.

drank too much and talked a lot, as if many people were like this, even King An once spit out the truth when he was drunk.

Drinking alcohol greatly reduces self-control. If you usually bury it in your heart, even if you think about it a hundred or ten times, you won't resort to it. But after drinking, it's like turning on a faucet, and the words in my heart are pouring out.

"In the Lin family, Lie'er's father is also an exception. Probably because he has not been in good health, he is incompatible with those brothers and relatives. He and the people of the Lin family couldn't get along—" The Qin family turned his head and glanced at Xiao Dong: "Lie'er's grandfather is a square person, and he prefers him the most. He also left him all his ancient books and paintings. Qin Shi stretched out his hand to cover his face: "If it weren't for this, Xu Lie'er's father wouldn't have died so early......

Xiao Dong knew that Qin Lie's father had an accident and passed away from injuries and illness. also knew that the Qin family was driven out by the Lin family, and they also had other grudges.

Hearing her say this, is there anything else to do with Qin Lie's father's death?

Xiao Dong used to be a very simple person, but no matter how simple he was, after watching the palace struggle for more than ten years, he would always learn something else.

Could it be that someone from the Lin family did something to Qin Lie's father?

You must know that ancient books and paintings are also very valuable, perhaps rarer and more valuable than fields, houses, and shops.
