Chapter 144: Sister and Brother Talk About Suffering at Night
There are a lot of people in the Shendu Division, and the officials who know each other in the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the inner treasury have to send an invitation, and several senior officials who know in the West Courtyard of the Imperial Prison cannot be forgotten.
Roughly calculated, there are more than 40 people I know, not counting the people Li Gangfeng knows.
Li Qingxian didn't expect that in just over a month, he would meet so many people.
Then, I discussed with my aunt and uncle, added Li Gangfeng's past, and finally made a list of more than sixty people, but there shouldn't be many people who can come.
After making the list, it was almost late at night.
"Leisure, it's so late, and you're tired for a day, don't go back to the yamen, and leave tomorrow morning after eating." Zhang Fangdao.
Li Qingxian nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"There's been no one living there for a long time, so I'll stay here tonight. You and Lord Zhou live in the West House, and the four of us live in the East House. Zhang Fang said.
Li Qingxian said: "He is not comfortable living in the house, he can live in the east wing, his own people, don't be picky." I'll be the same as before, our three children will live in the West House, and you two will continue to live in the East House. ”
"No, no, no, how can there be a reason for guests to live in the east wing, it's a mess." Zhang Fangdao.
"Uncle Zhou, I've wronged you for a night." Li Qing said with a smile.
"I live in the East Wing." Zhou hated and said.
Zhang Fangqiang is not as idle as Li Qing, so everything is as usual.
Chen Yuanpeng slipped out of his mother's arms, ran to Li Qingxian's side, and said in a low voice, "Brother, take me to play at night." ”
Zhang Fangyi stretched out his hand, grabbed the back collar of the little buried child, pulled it back to his side, and scolded: "Your brother has been busy for a day, let him go to bed early, sleep next to me tonight, and don't toss your brother." ”
"I don't ......," Chen Yuanpeng twisted his body and cried.
Zhang Fang's face sank, and he turned his head to look around looking for something.
Chen Yuanpeng suddenly turned red and said, "Isn't it okay for me to go to the East House?" I'll go! I'll go! ”
Zhang Fang snorted coldly and looked away from the broom.
Li Qingxian and Chen Zhu got up to clean up the east wing, took a new futon for Zhou Ha, washed up briefly, and walked into the west house as in the past at Chen's house, got on the kang, and lay down in the middle.
Chen Yuanpeng stood at the door of the West House with his eyes open, lifted the curtain and looked in.
"Brother, will you show me what the monster looks like next time?"
"Okay."
"Do you have time for me to see the life weapon?"
"Okay."
"Can I go to the Night Guard Yamen?"
"I'll take you sometime."
"Can I take a knife and cut the people who are bullying me?"
"Hurry up and get out of here to the East House!"
"Hey...... "The little kid smiled and left.
Li Qingxian moved his nose slightly, and there was a faint miscellaneous smell wafting in the house, as if every household had it, and every household was different.
At first, I thought it was unpleasant, but after a long time, I couldn't smell it.
In addition to miscellaneous smells, Westinghouse also has a faint fragrance.
When the courtyard quieted down, a figure lifted the curtain of the West House, touched the edge of the kang through the faint night light, and asked in a low voice, "Is the little brother asleep?" ”
"Nope." Li Qing said leisurely.
Chen Xiang got on the kang, took off his coat with Li Qing on his back, showed his slender figure at night, and lay down on one side as before.
Li Qingxian found that Chen Xiang was a little far away from him, and he turned his back to him, and said with a smile: "It's good not to be disturbed by Chen Yuanpeng, if he is here, people will go crazy again." ”
"He's getting naughty now, and sometimes he doesn't listen to what I say."
Li Qingxian's face sank and said, "He dares!" I'll get a few talismans in a few days, and if he doesn't obey, you can pat him on the head and make him itch all over his body. ”
Chen Xiang pursed his lips and chuckled: "He is most afraid of you." ”
"Of course. This kid was still robbing me of this place when he was a child, and he had to rely on you, and in the end, I didn't take advantage of it. I'll remind him tomorrow that if he dares to disobey you, I'll clean him up next time I come back!" Li Qing said leisurely.
"That kid should let you heal." Chen Xiang said.
Li Qingxian said in a low voice: "Sister, how is the family at home this time?" Are there any difficulties? ”
Chen Xiang sighed lightly and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's still the same." ”
"You're still knitting embroidery at home like you used to?"
"Well, people can't always be idle, they have to do something to support their families. Besides, if I go out to work, I have to put dirt on my face every time, which is quite troublesome. ”
Li Qingxian sighed lightly, the inner city of the Shendu City is fine, the outer city is chaotic, and the women of good families are slightly better-looking, and it is easy to be bullied.
Therefore, unmarried women in Daqi either do not go out of the door, or pretend to be ugly.
Li Qingxian thought for a while, took out a jade pendant from the Qiankun bracelet, and said: "This is a small magic weapon, you put it close to your body, it can block the full force of the seven-rank master's blow, if it is an ordinary sword, it can't hurt you." I want to get some other magic weapon to get you from getting hurt. ”
"Magic weapon? Wouldn't it be too precious......" Chen Xiang whispered.
"I said, in the future, I will support this family."
Li Qingxian's mind is flooding with memories, all of which are pictures of his aunt, brother-in-law and sister taking care of him.
"My little brother has really grown up." Chen Xiang turned around slightly, and under the night light, a pair of dark eyes looked at Li Qingxian faintly.
Li Qingxian grabbed his sister's hand and put the jade pendant in her palm.
"I wear it." Chen Xiang said.
"That's good." Li Qing said with a smile.
"If you can't sleep, tell me about your night guards, my sister wants to hear it." Chen Xiang blinked.
Li Qingxian thought about it for a while, and picked out some light-hearted and strange stories to tell.
One of them spoke, the other listened, in the night, until there was silence.
Li Qingxian's steady breathing sounded in the West House.
Chen Xiang blinked, looked at Li Qingxian's face in the night light, looked at the hairy thin beard at the corner of his mouth, held the slightly cool jade pendant, and the corners of his mouth were curved.
"It's really grown up......"
The moon sets and the sun rises.
Li Qingxian was awakened by the sound of screams.
"Dead boy, I said that you should have a good night's sleep, what is your ghost name in the morning? Go and stand at the gate, and you are not allowed to come in without shouting. Get out! Don't force me to whip you with a broom! ”
"Woo......" The cry of the little buried child faded away.
Li Qingxian glanced at the big kang, and his sister's side was neat and empty.
Li Qingxian got up, lifted the curtain and walked out of the West House, and saw the busy figure of his aunt and sister by the stove.
"Auntie, sister."
The two turned to look over, Chen Xiangming's eyes flowed, and he smiled lightly.
"Woke up by Yuanpeng, right? Want to sleep more? Zhang Fang said.
"No need, the night guard is very busy, I'll leave after breakfast." Li Qing said leisurely.
"Sit a little longer, you haven't been home for two months, and your night guards are really ......" Zhang Fang chattered while stirring the rice porridge.
Li Qingxian and Chen Xiang's sister and brother looked at each other and smiled.
"You sit, I'll fetch you water." Chen Xiang said.
"No, I've got a lot of strength now."
Li Qingxian said, walked to the well in the yard with Chen Xiang, easily fetched a bucket of water, took the towel from his sister's hand, wiped his face and washed.
"Where's my uncle?" Li Qing looked around and saw Zhou Hate sitting in the east wing.
"There was a hurry, giving people a dowry, and I was called away as soon as I got up. Dad asked me to tell you that you will always go home if you have nothing to do in the future, and the night guard yamen is not your home after all, so you can't live there all the time. Wait until tomorrow and my mother will clean up your house, and come back to see if there is anything to do in the future, and when you marry your daughter-in-law, you can't still live in the night guard yamen. Chen Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, her bright eyes reflecting Li Qingxian.
