It rained all night, and by the time the rooster crowed, it was getting smaller, and it was still dark and quiet, and the old men were resting. 『書()』

In the Baoqian Hutong of Xizhimen Street, the deacons and servants in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall have begun to be busy, and the voices of people are gradually ringing out.

The lamp was turned on in the Shuanghong courtyard, Bi'er got up, freshened up and went to the kitchen, urging the daughter-in-law on the stove to make breakfast.

The rain finally stopped, the morning sun spilled into the inner room through the lattice window, and the sound of birds chirping seemed to be in his ears, and Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Qi Su Niang was sleeping peacefully in Chen Yan's arms, and she could vaguely hear Chen Yan calling in her ear: "...... Su Niang...... Su Niang...... Temple Fair ......"

Qi Su Niang shrank into his arms and said in a daze: "It's raining outside......"

Chen Yan sat up, looked at the pane that was shining with daylight, lowered his head and kissed her on the face, "The rain has stopped, I'll take you to the temple fair......"

"Let me sleep a little longer......"

Chen Yan saw Qi Su Niang shrink her head into the quilt, smiled dumbly, hugged her into her arms, took the red belly pocket and green silk pants from the corner of the bed, and coaxed: "You are asleep, I will dress you......"

Chen Yan stroked Qi Su Niang's body while wearing her belly pocket and tying a belt, seeing that Qi Su Niang still hadn't opened her eyes, she looked at the green silk pants on the quilt, and whispered in her ear: "Otherwise, we won't go today, we ...... it."

“…… You continue to dress me...... I'll sleep a little longer...... ...... right away," Qi Su Niang said vaguely. Chen Yan smiled lowly. Pull your hand out of the covers. I took green silk underwear coolly. It's hot under the covers. Put it on for her.

"What do you want to wear today?" Chen Yan put on a homely robe. Get out of bed and walk to the closet with large rounded corners in black lacquer and gold. Pull the door on one side. While smiling, he looked at Qi Su Niang, who was sitting on the bed and rubbing his eyes.

Qi Su Niang blinked for a while. Tilting his head and smiling, "Just the two of us?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and smiled. "Just the two of us. No one to bring. Play however you like. ”

Qi Su Niang smiled. Jumped out of bed. Running to the closet with embroidered shoes. Squatted down and rummaged through the half-compartment package under the cabinet. Chen Yan squatted down and hugged her and said, "I'm only wearing a belly pocket." Beware of catching a cold. What you're going to wear. I'll find it for you. ”

Qi Su Niang smiled and said, "Let's turn out the old clothes from before." You wear a green robe. I wear a magpie shirt. It's the lichen in the spring. Let's treat it as a small couple visiting the temple fair. ”

Chen Yan laughed, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Qi Su Niang sat on the kang happily and watched Chen Yan find out the coarse kudzu cloth green robe and peach magpie shirt, "Brother Chen, will you give me a bun?" ”

Chen Yan sat beside her, took out the floral scarf and floral headkerchief in the waist pocket of the magpie shirt, and kissed Qi Su Niang, "The lady is on an errand on the ground, how can she not do it?" ”

Qi Su Niang put on a peach magpie robe, tied a peach flower scarf, and wore a waist-length black length, and opened the door to greet Bi'er.

Bi'er led the servant woman to bring washing water, put porridge and vegetables on the kang table, and when she saw Qi Su Niang's dress, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Where are grandpa and grandma going?" If you wear this, you won't be able to eat a high-quality vegetarian table for the eunuchs of the giant room. ”

Qi Su Niang said with a smile: "Let's go to the temple fair to enjoy the flowers, your lord can't eat vegetarian seats." Looking at Chen Yan, "Brother Chen, Bi'er said that the Longfu Temple outside Xizhimen is the most lively, let's go there, okay?" ”

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, Bi'er took the wet towel and handed it to Qi Su Niang, and said with a smile: "You have to be careful, there are everyone in the temple fair, beggars and thieves have gone to the sea." Grandma must remember to put the money on her grandfather so as not to be stolen. Besides, there are a lot of fakes on the antique stalls, so it's good for grandma to take a look, but don't waste the money in vain. Looking at Qi Su Niang's spread out, she smiled lightly and led the servant woman to retreat.

Chen Yan finished washing, led Qi Su Niang to sit in front of the dressing table, picked up the jade comb, slowly combed her length, and laughed in a low voice: "The last time I dressed and combed your hair, it was when I returned to Gaoyou from Qinghe......

Qi Su Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "After you arrive in Yangzhou, you will be much busier than in Qinghe." It was civil affairs and rivers, and then he was in charge of salt affairs for a while. I was able to talk to you three meals a day and before I went to bed. It's good that you don't pay attention to the rules of eating, not talking, and sleeping silently......"

Chen Yan was silent for a while, and after a while, he put down the jade comb and picked up Qi Su Niang's head, "Look, I haven't forgotten how to comb this fisherwoman's bun ......"

CHAPTER XXI

Qi Su Niang and Chen Yan went out of the hall from the side gate, called a mule cart waiting for customers in front of the street, went out of the city along Xizhimen Street, and arrived at the Longfu temple fair.

Chen Yan held Qi Su Niang's hand tightly, took her all the way over, bought three tin boxes with pigments, five embroidered samples on the uppers, listened to a piano, squeezed into sweat, and sat down on a big bowl of tea stall to drink tea and rest.

The two laughed and whispered, and from time to time they saw the carriage of the eunuch family stopping in the open space outside the temple, and the old man and grandmother were surrounded by the daughters-in-law and girls to enter the temple to make incense.

Chen Yan smiled: "Bi'er is right, here."

The princes, down to the flat-headed people, can come to play. Su Niang, let's go to the temple to see the begonia flowers. ”

The back garden of Longfu Temple is very wide, the flowers in the garden are all solid people's families, some small doors and small households daughters-in-law daughters, also take advantage of this season to accompany the spring, by the guest monk led from the east, south, west, north four gates to enter.

Chen Yan took out the blue cloth lotus branch money bag, donated two taels of silver merit money, and was introduced into the back garden by the monk Zhike. Qi Su Niang and Chen Yan walked side by side in the crowd, looking at the begonia pollen between the thick green branches and leaves in the garden, and the flowers and leaves in the single courtyard near and far are also red and green, high and low, and the lilac flower scene of Fayuan Temple is good at winning, and they are amazed.

Qi Su Niang bent down to pick up a red flower from under the tree, but when she looked up, she saw Chen Yan with a confused face, and she couldn't stop looking at a single courtyard at the east end, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen, what's wrong?" ”

"I just seem to have seen Qin Shun'er's father-in-law beside the Thirteenth Master." Chen Yan hesitated, "It stands to reason that the Thirteenth Master was only released last night, and I still want to wait for him to recuperate for a few days, and then go to the house to invite An ......" glanced at Qi Su Niang, "Su Niang, you wait for me here for a while, I'll take a look." ”

Qi Su Niang hurriedly smiled: "You just have to go, if the thirteenth master is here, talk to him more." I just looked at the flowers in this yard, and I didn't go far. ”

Chen Yan looked around, and saw that there were many women who admired the flowers, so he was also relieved, said a few more words, and turned around.

Qi Su Niang watched Chen Yan go to the east courtyard, and walked slowly with the crowd of people enjoying the flowers, and walked to the end of the flower path at the west gate. ”

The crowd walked back one after another, and Qi Su Niang was about to turn around, but she heard a faint cry from inside the corner gate.

Qi Su Niang felt strange in her heart, but she didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, after waiting under the begonia tree in Dongtou for a long time, I still didn't see Chen perform. Qi Su Niang was happy in her heart, knowing that the thirteenth master should probably be in the east courtyard.

At this time, it was nearly noon, the fragrance of vegetarian dishes in the Jixiang kitchen wafted all over the temple, and the people who looked at the flowers gradually decreased.

The garden was quiet, Qi Su Niang smelled the fragrance of vegetables in the air, and her stomach growled. She touched her stomach and walked out of the west gate, planning to go to the food stall outside the temple to buy some green onion cakes.

She walked to the garden gate, suddenly remembered that the money bag was on Chen Yan, couldn't help but smile bitterly, paused by the west gate, and heard a clear cry.

"Why did the old lady steal people behind your back? These taels of silver were asked by the child to be collected, and I kept them for him to marry his daughter-in-law in the future, for fear that you would drink and drink nonsense, so I hid it" The woman cried and scolded, "This is the monk's temple, you poured yellow soup and said these unreasonable bastard words" Before he spoke, he heard the sound of falling to the ground, as if he was kicked to the ground and scolded.

"Thief and adulteress, do you dare to steal a bald donkey and tell me to believe that I will not kill you today, and still wait for you to raise a monk and have another wild seed?"

Qi Su Niang frowned, turned her head to look, and the voice came from the corner door ten steps away. She was about to walk away, and the movement behind the door became louder, only to hear a burst of smashing cups and bowls, howling and crying, "Forget eight with a black conscience, isn't it that you want to eat and drink for a few days, forcing the old lady, the old lady will do that shameless and upside down thing?" You also need to remember that you don't have the shame to sell your wife, if you don't have my child, where can you still eat this mouthful of food, wear this clothes, and pour this mouthful of yellow soup, you only have the face to think that he is a wild seed."

Qi Su Niang heard this, and remembered that Lian Zhenyun mentioned Bai Lao Wu's affairs in the temple outside Xizhimen, and was shocked.

When she saw that the guest monk was no longer there, she hurried to the corner door and listened carefully, but it was only the sound of smashing things, as if the men and women inside were not giving in to each other, and they were beating hard.

Qi Su Niang gently pushed open a crack in the door, and saw that there was a big garden outside the door, full of begonia trees, and a two-story building dozens of steps away from the door, and the sound of commotion came from the nearest small building.

Qi Su Niang looked carefully, in the begonia flower forest, the flowers are blooming very brilliantly, in addition to the small building near the door in the west, among the green trees and flowers on the southeast and north sides, a few corners of the cornices are faintly picked out, and there seem to be three or four exquisite small courtyards scattered, because they are too far apart, they can't see the slightest movement.

The voices in the small building gradually became quieter.

Qi Su Niang hesitated for a while, looked back at the east courtyard where there was no movement, pushed the door open, and poked half of her head in, and suddenly heard someone behind her calling in confusion: "Miss Qi?" ”

Qi Su Niang was shocked, turned around suddenly, and her head immediately hit the door frame, and there was a heavy sound, which startled the person behind her, "Miss Qi"

Qi Su Niang's eyes were about to flow out in pain, she covered her forehead and looked back, and was shocked again, "Father-in-law Qin"

Standing behind her was Qin Quan'er beside the fourth elder brother.

I owe 930,960,990 plus more, I really can't hold it, I only sleep three hours for a few days in a row, I'm going to sleep, I'm so tired, I'm sorry
