Chapter 121: The Return
Chapter 121: The Return Trip
It's a pity that sometimes, wealth can move people's hearts and strengthen people's courage. The trouble is not that if you don't want it to come, it won't come obediently.
After the people of the Lin family were beaten out by the Qin family, several people actually thought of a way to invite someone to agree, saying that they were willing to let Qin Lie recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
When Xiao Dong heard this, he almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, hurriedly swallowed the tea hard, and then covered his mouth and coughed: "Really? β
"Isn't that true?" Qin Lie grabbed his hair, and it took a lot of effort to pass the old men in the morning. Those people put on faces one by one, "You are young and ignorant", "We are all for your good", "This child is really pitiful if he can't enter the ancestral hall without his father's upbringing", but they can't pick up a big stick and beat them up - after all, they didn't directly ask for his money, and besides, these old men are too old to walk, and their words are leaking, don't beat them to death with a stick, then it's a big deal.
Dealing with these people can make him choking enough, much more tiring than hitting someone with his fists. But fortunately, he has a firm idea, and those old men will not be able to take him even if they wear out their mouths.
"It's sent away, you can rest for a while. I'll have someone serve you a bowl of soup? β
Qin Lie shook his head, lay down sideways and pillowed on her lap: "Let me X for a while." β
Xiao Dong touched his face lovingly: "Well, you can rest for a while." β
There are such uneasy relatives...... There really is no need for enemies.
"Anyway, we'll go back to the capital in two days. They will not be able to chase them to the capital. β
Lie patted the back of her hand: "It's not quiet for you." I wanted to take you out for a walk, but now I think it's better to stay at home. β
"Well, there's no time left. I've been busy packing up my stuff these days. β
You can't go back empty-handed when you come back, all kinds of food, play, there are a lot of specialties in Suizhou, and you can pick up some of them, and the total amount is considerable. But there are a lot of people who can't stand it, in addition to King An's Mansion, the Queen Mother, and the mansions of several princesses also have to express -
This is all human etiquette, and it can't be coded at the same time. If someone else is polite, you have to go back. The people of the Central Plains have always paid attention to a "courtesy exchange".
So from the first time Xiao Dong saw a couplet, he felt that it was really a wise saying, but he may not be able to reach the realm of what he said in his life.
The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.
The two sentences that Bao Er Ye deeply hated were actually quite right.
Everyone does not live alone in this world, and everyone has many people around them, and these people have very intricate relationships with each other. If the world is unclear and people are not connected, then if you are not successful in life, you will certainly not be successful in doing things.
"Actually, when I was a child, I used to go to Lin's house, but I didn't go in. It was standing outside and looking at the gate of the Lin family from afar. Every time someone came in and out, I watched and guessed who it might be. Maybe it's my uncle, maybe it's my brother. Sometimes I still think that maybe one day the old lady of the Lin family will regret it and will take me back. I'll live where my dad used to live, well, maybe change my surname to Lin ......."
Xiao Dong gently stroked his hair, again and again.
"Later, when I got older and sensible, I didn't go. Not only will I not go, but if I pass by there, I will walk around and not want to bump into that family. β
Qin Lie was probably really tired, the two said a few words, Xiao Dong looked at him with his eyes closed, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he seemed to be asleep.
Xiao Dong touched his face, Qin Lie moved, muttered something in his mouth, and she quickly stopped. Wait, Qin Lie didn't wake up either.
Xiao Dong didn't dare to touch it anymore.
But it's hard to be a little resentful in my heart. If it weren't for these people from the Lin family, Qin Lie wouldn't have been tired like this in the past few days.
She leaned on the big pillow in a daze, well, not counting the Lin family, it seems that they are fine now. Zhao Zhi also sent it away, Shi Xiu also sent it away, the Li family brothers were managed to death by Zhang Ziqian, and the Yao family's old house was also visited. She thought about it again in her heart, whether she had brought enough things, whether she had pulled down something and forgotten somethingβ
I probably go out too few times, lest I don't think of any of them, and something will go wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Dong also fell asleep in a daze.
After two days, everything was packed up, and I was really leaving, and my mood was very complicated.
Xiaodong and Yao Jinfeng said goodbye, and Yao Jinfeng complained a little: "You will live this winter before leaving." When spring begins, this one in my belly is born, and you can still see it. β
Xiao Dong smiled bitterly: "There will always be a chance to meet in the future." β
She was reluctant either.
On the one hand, I strongly miss the capital, and on the other hand, I have a strong attachment to it.
People's adaptability is very strong, Xiaodong from the first time he was not used to it, to now live like a fish in water, it didn't take much time at all.
"Mother, you really don't want to go to the capital with us?"
Qin Shi waved his hand again and again: "Don't be in that place in the capital, I can't live in the summer and cold in the summer." Go, I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Besides, the women in the capital don't go out, and they are locked up in the yard day by day, and the hard stuffiness also suffocates me to death. β
Xiao Dong still couldn't help it, and laughed out loud: "Look at what you said." β
But what Qin said was also right. Compared with Suizhou and Dongquan, the capital is traditional and tightly bound by etiquette. Even if a woman goes out on the street, she hides her head in a car and a sedan chair, and she is by no means as open and free as here in Suizhou.
But even so, Xiaodong also misses the capital deeply.
I miss King An and Zhao Lu, as well as the Queen Mother, and ...... her home.
Qin stood on the shore and waved at them, Xiao Dong felt that his nose was sour, he turned his head, and hurriedly pressed his eyes with a handkerchief.
While waving his hand, Qin unceremoniously grabbed the swallow and prevented her from jumping into the boat.
It wasn't until the boat was getting farther and farther away that it was finally out of sight, and the Qin clan let go of his hand. The swallow ran a few steps forward in vain, and the dock was empty, and she cried out.
"Oh, silly girl." Qin stood there, waiting for her to cry happily before pulling her up and walking back: "The capital is like a big cage, you will suffocate to death if you go." β
The swallow sobbed and ignored her.
"You see, the county lord's mother is from Suizhou, but she died at a young age. Your aunt has also been in the capital for a few years, but nothing has left except trouble and sadness. The capital is not for you girls. β
Yanzi stubbornly raised her head: "They are them, I am me." β
Qin smiled desolately: "It's all the same." β
"It's cool, let's go into the cabin."
"Hmm."
The cabin was neatly packed, the same as when it came, from the small spoon to the large screen. Xiao Dong drank a cup of hot tea and wiped his face with a hot hand towel before he felt more comfortable.
"By the way, let's go back this time, do we still have to go through Fenglindu?"
"That's nature."
It seems that as long as you take the waterway, you can't avoid that ferry.
"So, what's going on with Hui Yeon?"
"I don't have a clue yet. However, this kind of thing will become more difficult to do the longer it drags on. At that time, the murderer could not be caught, but I was afraid that he had already escaped. Coupled with the fact that they themselves do not obey each other, they have become a mess of scattered sand, and there is nothing to fear. I've also heard that they've been suspicious of each other's murder of Hyeyeon, and then blame outsiders for the crime. Because Hui Yan died in his own room, no one heard the movement of the fight before he died, maybe it was someone familiar who took advantage of his unpreparedness when he was talking. β
People's associative abilities in this area are abundant.
Suspicious neighbor stealing axe...... As long as you plant the seed of doubt in your heart, then on the dark and fertile soil, this seed will quickly take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree.
They are busy with infighting, and their strength is weakened, which is a good thing for those who pass by.
Xiao Dong said sincerely: "I hope everything is safe." β
Qin Lie was right, as soon as Hui Yan died, the threat of Fenglin Ferry was greatly reduced, and it seemed that this ferry port was more lively than the last time they passed by, and some large cargo ships were parked on the shore. Brother Li, you will be by me, I will be by you, two little heads poked out of the porthole, and looked at the shore with wide eyes. It's no wonder they're curious, it's really the first two times they passed through here and encountered such thrilling things.
The two little ones didn't know what they were talking about, you push me, I pushed yours, and then Xiao Dong saw a pen hand poking out and knocking on the door of the two of them, and the two of them immediately retracted their heads honestly, and the window was closed.
Most of the trees on both sides of the river are yellow. The pale yellow lining of the mountains and the dark green, and the deep red maple leaves like cherry wine, look gorgeous and gorgeous. The large reeds they passed by were also dried and yellow, the reed flowers swayed in the wind, and the fine snow-white reeds fluttered on the surface of the river, as if it had fallen a heavy snowfall.
Xiao Dong tightened his cloak.
I don't know why, but she was still a little uneasy when the boat stopped here.
Who killed Meyeon?
Is it someone he once robbed and killed? Or the person next to him?
There were footsteps behind him, and Xiao Dong didn't wait for the man to approach before he smelled the breath.
A scent of ink.
There was only one person on the ship who had such an aura on him.
Xiao Dong turned his head, and Zhang Ziqian stopped.
"Seeing that you have a lot of worries along the way, are you reluctant to go to Suizhou?"
Xiao Dong smiled and shook his head: "I can't bear it, but I miss the capital even more." β
Xiao Dong's heart suddenly moved. These days in Suizhou, Zhang Ziqian doesn't go out much. King An said that if he wanted to go out and take a look, then he shouldn't just stay in the house and not go anywhere. What's more, Xiao Dong thought that they would only walk together for a while, and Zhang Ziqian should have other plans. But seeing that it was already autumn, Zhang Ziqian didn't go anywhere, and now he was going back to the capital together.
What the hell is he out for? Is it just to walk with her and with them all the way?
ββββββββββ
Uh, I really have to exercise, I'm really weak now~~
In other words, I couldn't hold back during the day, ate a piece of toffee, and then coughed all the time for half a day~~
