The ancestral hall is in the corner of the west side of the courtyard, and the doors and windows are a little dilapidated in disrepair, swaying and creaking when the wind blows.

The lanterns in the backyard were blown out by the wind at some point, and it was pitch black in all directions, and the locust trees in the courtyard were tall and big, blocking the faint light outside the courtyard.

Qu Qingyan couldn't help but regret a little, she had long thought about finding an opportunity to provoke Qu Wenhai, and she also expected the consequences of the fierce collision, but she overestimated her guts.

The pitch-black hand couldn't see her five fingers, and there was a gust of wind in her ears, she ...... The legs are a little shaky.

A sudden gust of wind blew, and all the hairs on her back stood up, and she didn't care about the pain in her legs, so she slammed her head directly on the window edge.

She rubbed her forehead without tears, and the remorse in her heart was a little heavier. It's careless, it's too careless, you should pick up one and then shoot during the day.

She hesitated, knowing that she should step in and light the candlelight on the desk and put another incense on it, but she was really scared in her heart.

"Fourth Young Master~ Fourth Young Master?"

The sound of a thousand mountains shouting in the distance, Qu Qingyan almost burst into tears as if he had found a savior.

This little guy is so sweet!

Qianshan hurriedly rushed over when he received the news sent by Qu Qingwen, knowing that his young master was afraid of the cold and carried a quilt on his shoulder.

"Fourth young master, you wait outside, the little one will go pick up and pick up first."

The quilt was stuffed in Qu Qingyan's arms, Qianshan couldn't care about rolling up his sleeves coldly and walked in, Qu Qingyan looked at the quilt in his arms and couldn't cry or laugh, the little guy was too real and seemed to be a little weird.

Qianshan was not very familiar with this place, the room was too dark, he searched for a long time before he found the flint in the corner and lit the candle, and simply swept the ashes on the ground with the fluttering candle flame, and then found the futon and placed it in front of the table.

"Fourth young master, you can go in, the little one is waiting for you outside."

Qu Qingyan stuffed the quilt to Qianshan again, "Well, you just wait outside wrapped in the quilt, don't go far." ”

There are not many tablets in the ancestral hall, and the Qu family is a generation up from a villager, and it was a blessing for Qu Wenhai to raise a young man, but when he was about to leave for the capital to participate in the examination, his parents suddenly passed away.

lived at home for three years and was delayed for one term, but because of this, his future career was extremely smooth without worries.

Qu Qingyan knelt in front of the desk, looking at the three tablets by the dim candlelight, his mood was slightly complicated.

She didn't have any disrespectful thoughts about her predecessors, but she was punished for kneeling to the end because of this.

I hope Qu Qingwen won't let her down.

When she was approaching, a subordinate came to the ancestral hall with the sacrificial tribute, and when she saw her kneeling in front of the table, she did not squint, and retreated silently after placing the tribute.

After kneeling for more than an hour, her body swayed uncontrollably, her legs swelled and hurt, and her knees seemed to be pricked by countless needles, and the pain was unbearable.

She gritted her teeth so hard that she couldn't even care about the cold, and she shivered in pain.

"Old lady!" Qianshan, who was dozing off with the quilt, nodded vigorously and almost fell off the corridor, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qu Wenhai's figure standing in front of him faintly, and he screamed in a panic.

Qu Wenhai entered the ancestral hall with a black face and his hands behind his back, Qu Qingyan didn't even reply to him since he entered the door, only lowered his eyes, as if he was sincerely repenting.

Qu Wenhai saw that the anger in his heart arched up little by little, but when he thought of Qu Qingwen's words before, that bit of anger could only be pressed into his stomach.

"Qingwen, help Qingyan up, and send him back to the courtyard when the worship is over."

"Yes, grandfather."

Qu Qingwen's voice was filled with joy and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, Qu Qingyan had no masochistic thoughts, naturally wanted to stand up with Qu Qingwen's strength, only kneeling with her legs in this cold and cold ancestral hall for more than an hour, she was unconscious, and she couldn't stand up smoothly after standing up several times.

In exchange, Qu Wenhai glared at him angrily.

He has already handed over the steps, and this grandson is still so unappreciative!

"Grandfather, I'm afraid that the fourth brother's legs are a little bloody, so call the little guy outside the door in." Qu Qingwen had already helped Qu Qingyan once before, and he was not afraid to give him another ride.

Night worship is not complicated, after all, the festival is already held before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Qu Qingwen handed Qu Qingyan to Qianshan and walked over again, after all, as the eldest grandson, he must be present during the worship.

When Qu Qingyan returned to the courtyard, she could feel that her knees were all swollen, and as soon as she rolled up the trouser tube of her middle pants, she saw Qu Qingwen pushing the door in with a bottle of medicinal wine.

"Don't you know that the eldest brother needs to buckle the door before entering the door?" Qu Qingyan quickly pulled the brocade quilt from the side and covered his body.

Qu Qingwen really didn't expect to see Qu Qingyan's pants rolled up above his knees, revealing his two calves, and he raised the medicinal wine in his hand with a slight embarrassment.

"Take this to you, it's best to apply it externally, otherwise you'll be in pain and won't be able to walk these days."

Qu Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, until he was even more uncomfortable when he saw it, he withdrew his gaze, and the kind smile on his face was not posed, but he was extremely serious: "Brother Xie intercedes for me." ”

"How do you know it's going to be me?"

"Because I can't think of anyone else."

"Fourth brother doesn't need to thank me, it's just that you helped me figure out some truths, and I have gained a lot myself."

Qu Qingwen stepped forward and handed her the medicinal wine, sat on the edge of the bed, and wanted to open the quilt to help her make an external application, but Qu Qingyan pressed the corner of her back to avoid it.

"One yard to one yard, today's love is written down by the fourth brother."

In the ancestral hall just now, she could clearly feel Qu Wenhai's awkward thoughts, she never asked Qu Wenhai to treat her like Qu Qingwen, she just begged him not to always calculate, not to always cheat her at any time, this is enough.

Qu Wenhai wants the Qu family to be rich for a long time, and she wants to get ahead, they don't mention their feelings, and they can be happy to be a pair of partners.

The two brothers opened their words, and their hearts were relieved.

Qu Qingwen's eyes fell on her cloak drilled with cotton wool: "The eldest brother also has a sable fur cloak without a upper body, how about giving it to the fourth brother if he doesn't dislike it, but the eldest brother's stature is much higher than the fourth brother, but it needs to be changed." ”

How precious the sable fur is, he has not been afraid that it is because he is reluctant, how can Qu Qingyan have it.

"The kindness of the eldest brother is appreciated by the fourth brother, only the fourth brother is used to the cloak and coat with cotton, if the eldest brother has time, the shop in the capital will open in a few days, how about the eldest brother help me buy two pieces back?"

Qu Qingwen smiled as usual, and when he saw that he was tightly wrapped in the quilt, he didn't stay longer: "The fourth brother is in a special situation today, so don't keep the New Year, rub the redness and swelling on your legs and rest early, and you will go with your grandfather tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." ”
