Chapter 8: His Tenderness

The people who came around also dispersed, and Meng Makeup stepped forward to invite An, inviting a few people to her painting boat to warm up and change clothes, An Qingming realized that the most luxurious and beautiful painting boat in the river was an object of "Wen Yulou", no wonder it was so beautiful. Zhou Xu naturally agreed, Liu Ruyu snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice.

An Qingming shook her head and said, "I won't go, there are clean clothes in the carriage, I'll go and change." ”

When she said this, Xu Huai'an naturally wouldn't go to the painting boat to warm up, Zhou Xu had no choice but to say goodbye to a few people, he stepped forward and whispered to Xu Huai'an: "I can't see it, you have a few brushes." ”

It's okay to jump into the river to please the beauties regardless of the danger.

Xu Huaian turned his head and glanced at him, and Zhou Xu felt that his body was cold, as if he had been poked with a knife in a few holes.

He didn't offend Xu Huai'an, right?

Xu Huai'an and An Qingming were leaving, and Dream Makeup stood aside waiting for Zhou Xu, and suddenly heard Liu Ruyu say: "I feel very cold on my body, is the Dream Makeup girl also going to invite me to warm up?" ”

Hearing this, Dream Makeup went to see Zhou Xu, and Zhou Xu opened his mouth and said, "You are a cold ......" Halfway through the swear words, remembering that Dream Makeup was still around, it was okay to stop.

Dream makeup covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It's good that Miss Liu doesn't dislike it." ”

An Qingming went to see Liu Ruyu, only to see Liu Ruyu nodding at her, she didn't know what to say, so she had to leave.

The sun was just right, and it was warm on their bodies, but Xu Huaian and An Qingming were stained with water, and they only felt a shiver.

Seeing that her sister fell into the water and caught a cold, the two sisters and brothers were sensible, so they obediently got into the carriage and sat down, and they didn't quarrel to continue playing. Seeing them like this, An Qingming was a little reluctant, and repeatedly promised them that they would have the opportunity to take them out again.

Hitomi came over with a sad face: "Miss, we didn't bring clean clothes today." ”

Today's group should have been distracted, and it didn't take a few hours to plan to go back, but An Qingming only asked people to prepare the children's pastries and clothes, and did not prepare her own.

"That," Xu Huai'an's eyes came up, "Miss An, you wait a minute." ”

He turned around and whispered a few words to Chang Si, Chang Si ran away with a smoke, Xu Huaian looked at An Qingming, and did not speak, seeing that An Qingming was uneasy.

Fortunately, Chang Si came back after a while, holding a package in his hand, Xu Huaian took it and handed it to An Qingming.

"I haven't worn this garment, Miss An, you will just put it on, and change the wet clothes on your body. There is still a long time to go back, so don't inhale the cold. ”

He said, "I still have several more items on the carriage, out of the way!" ”

An Qingming didn't want it, Xu Huaian couldn't help but throw the package into the carriage without saying anything, and said to Tong'er: "Remember to change it for your girl." ”

The tone is very reasonable.

Hitomi: Who is my master?

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, An Qingming called out to him, Xu Huaian thought she was going to return her clothes, so she was so frightened that she ran away.

An Qingming had no choice but to reach out and pull his sleeve, but before he could exert his hand, Xu Huaian froze in place.

His reaction like this confirmed An Qingming's speculation.

Looks like he's seen it all.

An Qingming smiled and whispered, "Thank you." ”

I don't say thank you for anything.

"No...... No need to thank ......" Xu Huaian looked down at her arm, and said, "Remember to go back to the doctor to have a good look." ”

An Qingming responded, Xu Huaian waved his hand to let Chang Si follow: "Okay, don't go back soon!" ”

An Qingming watched him leave, and then turned to Tong'er and said, "Help me." ”

Hitomi was shocked, she knew best that the eldest girl in her family, don't look at the delicate and weak of the child, but since she was a child, she has followed Liu Darttou to learn martial arts, when will she be helped by someone when she gets into the carriage?

She gasped, "You're ......"

"Let's go back and change my clothes first, and then accompany me to the hospital. Don't let anyone know. ”

There is driftwood in the river, and she dragged Zhou Xu alone, and her elbow accidentally knocked on the driftwood, Xu was a little injured, and her left hand couldn't use her strength, if she wanted to grab the rope, she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch it.

I thought no one would notice, but I didn't expect Xu Huaian to find out and jump into the river to help her go ashore.

I thought it was a gentleman with empty eyes, but I didn't expect to have such thoughts, but it made her look at Xu Huai'an with admiration.

An Qingming sent the two children home, went back to the room to change clothes, put Xu Huai'an's clothes aside, and took Tong'er to wash, An Qingming stopped her and wanted to say something, but Tong'er turned around and she didn't say anything.

There is a slight dislocation in the left arm, and it is not a big deal, the doctor looked at it, and it will be good to rest for a few days. An Qingming didn't feel anything, her sight drifted away, there were vendors on the street carrying shelves selling sugar gourds, An Qingming said in her heart, I don't know what happened to Xu Huai'an's shelf of sugar gourds.

Tong'er finally finished asking, shouted twice and didn't see her answer, pinched the doctor's order and looked at her line of sight, didn't see anything special, thought that her girl was stunned, and was just about to turn her head and let the doctor take a look at her girl's brain, when she heard An Qingming say: "Go buy two strings of sugar gourds and send them to Ah Ying and Ah Fan." ”

Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.

When she returned home, the housekeeper greeted her, saying that the third lady had gone to the yard to find her, An Qingming thought about it and went directly to the third uncle's yard.

The yard was very lively, it was the sound of children frolicking, and the girl came forward to say that the big girl had arrived.

The third uncle's aunt immediately got up to greet her, held her hand and looked at her for a long time, and sighed with relief: "Amitabha Buddha and Bodhisattva bless, scared me to death." ”

An Qingming asked Tong'er to hand the sugar gourd to the two children, and the two dolls ran over to hug her legs: "Big sister is the best!" ”

An Qingming said: "Okay, let you keep it secret, what are you talking nonsense." I wouldn't have bought you sugar gourds if I had known. ”

She was afraid that her mother would know about the overboard, so she told them not to say it, who knew that these two little ones were so unreliable.

The third aunt smiled and said, "Even I can't say it?" ”

The third aunt is only seven years older than her, and treats her like a sister and a mother, An Qingming has no choice but to lament: "Third aunt." ”

The two gossiped a few more homely words, and the maid next to the third aunt came over with a soup cup, and the third aunt served it to her: "I heard Ah Ying say that you fell into the water, but it scared me, the river is so urgent, but it is not a small river and a stream, why did you jump in?" ”

"I boiled it for you, I wanted you to come and taste it, but you weren't there." The third aunt said, "I almost drank it myself, but fortunately you came back in time." ”

Astragalus and Codonopsis were put in the soup, probably soaked in ginger slices and omitted out, warm and cold.

"The third aunt's craftsmanship is still so good."

The third aunt's surname is Hu, Hu cooks good dishes and is modest, if it weren't for the third uncle's dedication to poetry and books, and he didn't like to drill camps, maybe the third uncle's family would be her biggest help.

But it's good now.

With the third uncle's family here, she felt that this huge house had a bit of a home temperature, and it was not all cold calculation.

accompanied the third aunt and said some words, the third aunt left her to eat, An Qingming refused, and some of the instructions she didn't give approval, and she had to go back to take a look.

There was still pain in his arm, and he couldn't use his strength, An Qingming put most of his strength on his right hand, and he was tired and panicked after a long time. Hitomi came in with tea and said that the second master asked to see him.

An Qingming was accurate and motioned to Tong'er to look at tea.

An Yuanshan sat down with a smile, talked about some homely things left and right, and finally led the topic to the tea house: "I heard that the eldest girl recently received a big business? Xu County's order? ”

"The second uncle is well-informed, I am still unsure about this matter, and if it comes out, if I can't eat it, it will make people see a joke, and I am not embarrassed to publicize it. How did the second uncle know? ”

An Yuanshan naturally couldn't say that he was always staring at the movements in Zhuangzi, he only said that he could guess.

An Qingming smiled meaningfully: "The second uncle guessed accurately. ”

"Big girl," An Yuanshan said, "Over the years, seeing the tea house getting bigger and bigger, you see if you are too tired to hold it alone." ”

The meaning of these words is quite intriguing, An Qingming played Tai Chi with him, only said that he was not tired.

An Yuanshan rubbed his hands, his face was a little red reflected by the light, and he was pulled a little by the halo.

"Big girl, my younger brother who you don't make up is also older, and it's not a matter of being idle all day long, the An family's business is so big, but he doesn't enter Zhuangzi, what will outsiders say if they know about it?"

"What can you say?" An Qingming didn't eat oil and salt, "The eldest brother is smart, but this smartness is not suitable for business, so it's better to let the eldest brother prepare well for the exam." ”

"Your eldest brother, he...... It's a talent for showmanship. ”

It's not material for showmanship, nor is it material for doing business, but for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

The An family's business was run by her father, and An Qingming didn't think that others could arbitrarily take a piece of the pie.

"The people in the Zhuangzi are selected step by step by virtue and talent, if the eldest brother comes in and occupies a high position, it will inevitably cause criticism," An Qingming said, "If the second uncle doesn't dislike it, let the eldest brother go to the counter as an apprentice first, step by step, and let others go, so as to block the mouths of others." ”

An Yuanshan's face was a little unsightly, An Qingming was right, but his own son knew best that if he became an apprentice, even if he was an apprentice for the rest of his life, where would he still have the opportunity to be in power.

"Big girl, my younger brother is an apprentice...... This, it doesn't sound good to say, right? I'm not speaking for that bastard boy, but I'm afraid that others will criticize the big girl for mistreating her brother......"

"The second uncle is too worried, Qingming has been a man and has been doing things for so many years, and everyone else has seen it. If my eldest brother does a good job, I will naturally raise him, how can I leave a chance for others to criticize? In this way, the eldest brother can also learn to block other people's mouths with real talents. I'm afraid that if I directly arrange the eldest brother in the position of the shopkeeper, it will cause criticism, and the reputation of the eldest brother is not good. ”

An Yuanshan secretly scolded her in her heart for not getting oil and salt, looking immature, and more like an old fox than her father inside.

With her appearance, An Yuanshan didn't want to say anything else, and told her something about Zhuangzi, and said before leaving: "I recently talked about a business with a teahouse in Jiangbei, and I plan to bring tea to see it in a few days." ”

An Qingming said: "Second uncle has worked hard, bring more people on the road and take care of yourself." ”

An Yuanshan responded, and said: "Then why don't you bring some new tea that you have fried yourself to the teahouse, maybe you will like it." ”

An Qingming sat on the upper seat and looked at him with a smile, his eyes were soft, like a bay of clear water, and then looked carefully, there was a sharp sword hidden in the clear water, sharp and sharp.

An Yuanshan lowered his eyelids and no longer looked directly at him.

"It's okay," An Qingming said, "I'll order someone to help the second uncle with some work." ”

"Then thank you to the second girl." An Yuanshan stood up and said goodbye.

An Qingming wanted to send it, but he refused, and An Qingming was not polite, so he didn't go out, but only let Tong'er send him out.
