She smiled at Qu's family: "A-Niang, my daughter understands your worries, Cui County ordered me to be polite and kind to the people." You saw that today, too, didn't you? ”

She glanced at Tian Ma with a bag of rice and said, "A-Niang also came to get food by the way, right?" Then let's get down to business first, and I'll go back and talk to you in detail after the end of the afternoon, okay? ”

Hearing this, Qu sighed helplessly. After this daughter returned, she repeatedly subverted her conjectures, and every time she talked to her about this, she could feel the firm idea under the gentle and polite surface of the Lingfu.

She intuitively felt that even if she was pressed as a mother, this daughter would not give in.

Alas, I can't force it, I can only take it slowly and look at it step by step.

Qu Shi stretched out his hand and touched the folds on Lingfu's shirt, and sighed helplessly: "Then you come back early after you get off the palace, A-Niang is waiting for you at home." ”

Lingfu nodded.

There was still an hour before the curfew, and the messenger Ming Jin, Si Huzuo announced that today's grain release was over, and those who did not receive the food would come back tomorrow.

Because of Cui Yuanting's prestige, the people dispersed almost without any discussion.

After Cui Yuanting briefly asked about the number of people who distributed grain and the remaining grain reserves in the warehouse, he asked a few people to return to the county government and list the detailed figures.

Seeing that the Lingfu was about to return to the Ya, he smiled at her and said, "I didn't return last night, your aunt is worried, right?" Don't go back with us today, go home early to calm your aunt's heart, wait for me to accompany her, I shouldn't have let you go with me last night. ”

Lingfu thought for a moment and said, "Okay." I don't think the injury on the shoulder of the county is very good, remember to take medicine when I go back, don't touch it again. ”

Cui Yuanting: "Okay." ”

Seeing the concern revealed in those wonderful eyes, the corners of Cui Yuanting's mouth turned up unconsciously, and the injury didn't hurt anymore.

When Lingfu returned to his home in Dunyifang, he saw Qu sitting under the porch, sewing a garment.

"Auntie!"

Qu raised his head when he heard the sound, put down the clothes in his hand, and called Tian's mother: "Lingfu is back, let's set the meal." ”

A meal, porridge and cakes, a few light side dishes. Only a bowl of richly boiled broth was placed in Lingfu's hand.

Qu Shi seemed to be still sulking, and he refused to speak much during the whole meal, only telling Lingfu to drink the soup.

Lingfu smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

Qu's concern and anger were all shown in this meal, and she refused to take the initiative to talk to her daughter, but from time to time she paid attention to whether she had drunk the bowl of tonifying broth.

After the meal, Tian's mother removed the bowls, and the Lingfu and Qu were left in the house.

The mother and daughter sat opposite each other for a long time, and Qu got up and brought a piece of clothing, and Lingfu recognized that it was the one she saw Qu doing when she returned.

"You've been wearing clothes for a few days, they're all dirty and wrinkled, take them off and try this one."

Lingfu was stunned, Qu had already pulled her up, so she had to take off her shirt obediently.

Qu Shi compared the clothes on her shoulders and waist again and again, and muttered to himself: "It would be almost the same if the waist is a little narrower." ”

Lingfu saw that this was a reddish-brown dark flower round-necked robe that could be worn by both men and women, and it looked more status than what he had worn before, and the texture was also good.

She curled the corners of her mouth and asked, "When did A-Niang make this robe?" ”

Qu glanced at her: "When?" From the moment you told me you were going to give yourself a back, I knew you weren't going to stay at home. Qu Shi shook his robe: "A-Niang has thought about it, I don't have the ability to take care of you for a lifetime, so I can't stop you from growing outward." ”

Qu put away his robe, sat down on the couch, took a needle from the sewing basket, and sewed it according to the lamp.

"Ah Niang...... "Now Lingfu doesn't know what to say."

Qu's hand quickly roamed over the clothes: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to pay more attention to yourself and take care of yourself." If something is difficult, A-Niang can always work hard for you here. ”

“……”

Lingfu choked for a moment, squatted down and lay on Qu's lap.

"Thank you Auntie, thank you for believing in me, I promise you that I will take care of myself and not let you be sad."

She just wasn't used to having a mother, but she didn't know how good it was, and she could feel that Qu was good to her.

Qu sighed and touched her daughter's hair.

After a while, she said: "Freshen up early, how can you sleep outside and have a stable home at home, A-Niang has to hurry to get this dress out, I can't let you wear that wrinkled Shangya tomorrow." ”

Lingfu stood up, hesitated slightly, and still said his words.

"A-Niang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you when I come back this time."

Qu raised his head and looked at her with a slight surprise.

Lingfu pursed his lips and said, "I want to pack my luggage briefly, because I'm afraid that there will be a time when I won't be able to get home before curfew in the future." ”

She met Qu's surprised gaze and told the reason: "Tonight, the county lord and all the officials will return to the yamen, and everyone should deal with the matter of releasing grain." I went home alone, which is not good, after all, I stayed by Cui County's side as an entourage, and ran home every day, and I couldn't get by myself if others didn't say it. ”

"Besides, when Cui Xianling first took office, there was a lack of credible people around him, and it was when he lacked skills, if there was no one who could use it with confidence, what do you say he would do as an official? Ah Niang, you don't know, in the past few days, I have followed Cui County's order, and I have seen with my own eyes that the county government is holding him back, and it is really not easy for him to be ordered by the county. ”

Qu couldn't remember what his daughter said, and felt that his ears were full of the words "Cui County Order, Cui County Order".

She looked at Lingfu's face fixedly, and only spoke for a while: "Lingfu, you tell A-Niang honestly, do you have any different feelings for Cui Xianling?" ”

Lingfu was obviously stunned when asked, and then realized that Qu had misunderstood something.

She smiled helplessly in her heart.

Perhaps from Qu's point of view, Cui Yuanting is young and promising, handsome, and has done great things for the benefit of the people as soon as he came, which can be described as full of aura; I am a young girl in my prime, and the two of them have been together for a long time, and it is almost natural to be tempted.

But what about the facts?

As an outsider who has been here for a short time and has been calculating, all the energy in her brain is focused on dealing with the survival crisis and future survival planning.

If you can still have this thought, Lingfu feels that it is not a love brain, but a brain.

As a former sea beast breeder, she has some common sense about animals.

Under certain harsh conditions, many female animals will choose to postpone the estrus period on their own, and only when the water and grass are abundant and the food is sufficient, the female animal will have regular estrus and feed the next generation.

In the eyes of animals, their own survival comes first. If the conditions are extremely harsh, they will abandon their children and even eat them.

In the eyes of the Lingfu, the Great Xuan Dynasty is a harsh place to live-
