Compared with the family at the beginning of the Autumn Festival, the Jinqing family in Meihua Lane in the west of the city seems much more peaceful. 【】

The stone table in the courtyard was not big, and there were five people on the table, Shujuan was embarrassed to go to the table, but Mama Liu and Jinqing pulled her over, and sat down after squeezing it.

The moonlight was bright and bright, the small stone table was full of vegetables and pastries, and Mama Liu held the wine glass and sprinkled a glass of wine on the ground first, and sighed: "This glass of wine is for my young lady, and I pity her for the second half of the generation...... Fortunately, Jinqing and Jinzhi have a future, and Miss will be at ease under the spring. ”

Jin Zhi bit his lip and didn't say a word, he was angry with Yuan Yingquan in his heart, but he really didn't have an impression of his mother, just relying on Mama Liu's memories from time to time, he sketched the outline of his mother in his mind, which can be regarded as a child's nostalgia for his mother hidden in his heart.

Jin Qing looked at Mama Liu in the moonlight, she was only in her early thirties, although Xu Bin was not much, it was more than enough to maintain a well-off home, and she was fed and clothed by Mama Liu, and she was better than before, I don't know how much, her originally dry and yellow cheeks were now ruddy and fair, and she was a young and beautiful woman.

"Mama is doing well now, and my mother is also happy." Jin Qing said softly, and looked at Xu Bin next to him.

Xu Bin laughed, patted Mama Liu's back, and whispered, "It's a big holiday, don't make the children feel uncomfortable." ”

Mama Liu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Jin Qing and Jin Zhi who had grown up and smiled happily, under Jin Qing's signal, Jin Zhi walked to Mama Liu with a glass of wine, and said respectfully: "Mama, thank you for raising our sister and brother to adulthood." This glass of wine is toasted to you! ”

Mama Liu happily took the wine glass and drank it all.

However, what Jin Qing didn't expect was. Mama Liu's alcohol consumption is too bad, and this can't be blamed on Jinqing, no one in their family drank before.

After a glass of wine, Mama Liu's face turned abnormally red, and she pulled Jinqing and smiled lovingly: "Jinqing, when will you marry your father-in-law?" Mama is still waiting to take care of the baby for you! ”

Jin Qing's face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere on the table became heavy, Jin Zhi knew that Mama Liu was drunk, and she was confused. hurriedly said: "Mama, my sister is not marrying her father." You forgot? ”

Xu Bin glanced at Mama Liu helplessly, and felt that his wife was not strong, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he decided to go out in person, and asked Shujuan instead, and said happily: "You are about the same age as Jinqing, do your parents have a family for you?" ”

Shujuan looked at the reunion of the moon, and her heart was gloomy. "When I was seven years old, I was sold by my own father and mother! I can use the money from the sale to give my brother a daughter-in-law! ”

This time. The eyes of everyone's condemnation shifted to Uncle Xu Bin.

Xu Bin closed his mouth smartly, and said with a sad face that he really sympathized with the plight of the little girl Shujuan.

When it comes to telling jokes and mud, adjust the atmosphere. Mama Liu is honest, Xu Bin is upright, neither of them is a good hand, so that after eating and tasting pastries, there is nothing to do at a table, Xu Bin helped the drunk and hazy Mama Liu to go to the house to rest, leaving Jinqing and Shujuan to clean up the table, and Jinzhi started.

After packing up her things, Jin Qing sat in the courtyard with Jin Zhi in her arms, looked at the big and round moon outside the window, and suddenly remembered that it had been almost a month since she came back from Shandan Town, and she didn't know how Gawa was doing there, and whether the family was good to him.

"Jinzhi, when I went to the border, I fell into the river and almost died, and a little boy about the same age as you rescued me." Jin Qing touched Jin Zhi's head and muttered, "But I didn't bring him back, I originally wanted to bring him back to be your companion." ”

Jin Zhi nestled in Jin Qing's arms, rubbed his head again, and said, "Then when I grow up and can go out by myself, take him over and live with us, okay?" ”

Jin Qing smiled and shook his head, "You have to ask him what he means first, his ideals are great." "To be the account office of a big goods bank, for orphans who can't read a single word, this is a lofty ideal in life.

Shujuan also heard Jin Qing talk about her at the border for the first time, and looked at Jin Qing in surprise, the moonlight gilded Jin Qing's face with a soft halo, her expression was calm and kind, and Jin Qing combed Jin Zhi's hair with her hands.

Jin Zhi hugged Jin Qing tightly and said happily: "Sister, you seem to be different from before recently. ”

Jin Qing asked in surprise, "What's the difference?" ”

Jin Zhi arched his head in Jin Qing's arms, found the most comfortable position, and said with a smile: "My sister smiles more than before, and I don't feel as easy to get angry as before." ”

After Jin Qing listened, the hand that combed Jin Zhi's hair paused, and after a while, he combed it again, and said softly: "Isn't this very good." ”

It's not that her temper has suddenly changed, but she is a little tired, so many people and so many things, she has to erect thorns all over her body, and whoever wants to come over with a bad heart, she will be fully armed to repel the other party.

But if you keep using such a drastic way, you will be tired after all, there are so many things, there are always people who are not afraid of her spikes, her feelings are too intense, she stabs others and herself, why bother?

When she was in Qingshui County, the master taught her that life is like a copper coin, it must be round on the outside and square on the inside, only when the appearance is smooth, can it roll far on the road, if the wheels are square and angular, how can the carriage still travel?

It is only now that she has deeply realized this truth.

Yuan Yingquan and the Wei clan want to join forces to use her to abuse her, then let them fight in their own nests, give Yuan Yingquan a few good looks and not die, at most he will be disgusted a few times after he leaves, and there are a lot of pieces of meat on his body that do not fall silver.

Shujuan suddenly felt a little sour in her nose, she didn't talk to Jinqing before, she only heard that the second girl who was killed halfway was not rich and powerful, and she was still a country bell doctor, and she couldn't be said to be contemptuous in her heart, and she was sent by her wife to serve the second lady, and she became the object of ridicule from the sisters before, and she was also full of resentment in her heart.

But now she feels very happy and content, Jinqing treats her very well, even if she has a half-hearted peach for Jinqing, Jinqing has never beaten her and scolded her, everyone feels that they have suffered a loss, but Shujuan feels that she has taken a big advantage, if she is like the eldest lady, she will take the maid out of anger at every turn, and the personal maid does not know how much she has been slapped by her.

With a temper like her, she hasn't been beaten to death by the eldest lady?

But the second lady is not easy, everyone says that she is disobedient to her elders, unfilial to her father and mother, and domineering and domineering and can't tolerate a poor and lonely aunt, but why doesn't anyone see that the second miss is forced by her father and mother to not even live at home? Why didn't anyone see the second miss almost die at the border?

Shujuan shook her head, hoping that the second miss could find a husband who was good to her, and she would have something to rely on in the future.

Jin Qing looked at Shujuan there and shook her head and sighed for a long time, and quipped: "Little girl, do you miss your mother-in-law?" ”

Shujuan's face was flushed, and she argued: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it!" ”

"Come on, come on." Jin Qing beckoned Shujuan to sit closer to her and Jin Zhi, and asked with great interest, "Shujuan, what kind of husband do you want?" Is it gentle or cold? Do you want to do business or study? Or is it a bit of a farm at home? ”

Shujuan's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, and replied stiffly, "Miss, if you ask me again, I will ignore you!" ”

To be honest, Jin Qing couldn't understand the women at this time in ancient times, obviously their own life events couldn't be more important, and divorce was not popular in this era, basically marrying a person was equivalent to a generation tied to this person, the risk was so big, and when they mentioned getting married one by one, they were ashamed and angry.

asked back and forth, all of them blushed and shirked shyly, "But it's up to XX to decide." ”

How can you rely on someone else to decide? Do others know what kind of man you want to marry? Isn't it still yourself who marries badly and suffers!

Shujuan didn't use it, so she had to plan it herself, nodding her chin, Jinqing looked at Xiaohong's face and said: "Jiang Chen has been in the capital for the longest time, and he knows a lot of people, so it's better to ask him to help introduce a few, it's best to have read books, be a showman, even if you don't have ancestral property, you can open a private school to teach, and your livelihood is not a problem." ”

Shujuan has been with her for so long, and for her to offend the Yuan family, she has to let Shujuan marry well, her husband is motivated, and she will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Shujuan was embarrassed, opened her mouth and said: "I don't know a single word, where can I find those who also drop their book bags?" "She's just a maid, how dare she go to Xiao to read a book? As long as the future husband is not the kind of loser who eats and gambles, it is time to snicker.

"In that case, you don't want a scholar to be a husband." Jin Qing frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, there were really few people she knew, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find anyone who could match Shujuan.

It's not that I don't want it, it's that the people who read don't want me. Shujuan sneered, heartily speechless about Jin Qing's ability to reverse black and white.

"What about a small business?" Jin Qing asked, "If you go, you can be a proprietress and take charge of the family's money and livelihood, which is also good." ”

Shujuan was forced to be unable to do so, so she took a risk, and asked Jinqing directly: "Miss, don't be busy with my marriage first, how can there be a reason for the girl to marry Miss first?" What is the young lady's plan? ”

You can't be with the judge, just do the truth! Besides, if she watched Wei An eat and drink spicy food and marry a beautiful wife in the Guogong Mansion, the straight-tempered Shujuan couldn't swallow this breath. Anyway, the young lady has to get married, so that the grandfather who has no eyes regrets it until his intestines are blue!

"Me?" Jin Qing looked left and right, and suddenly pointed to the moon and said, "Do you know why the moon is the roundest when it arrives?" She raised her hands and swore that she really had a whim, and she wanted to teach her brother and Shujuan the knowledge of Heavenly Learning.

As soon as these words came out, even Jin Zhi, who had been buried in Jin Qing's lap, couldn't help but raise his head, and looked at Jin Qing with contempt with Shujuan, this ability to change the topic is too inferior! (To be continued)
