The father who sells his sons and daughters XXXVIII
When he saw the face that he had remembered for eleven years, Han Wenqing still couldn't hold back and trembled.
"Uncle...... Do you remember me? β
Yun Fei looked at him with some confusion, "Are you?" β
He looked carefully, and suddenly remembered the young man with a dirty face in the firelight that year, and stubbornly knelt down in tears and kowtowed to him a few times.
It was obviously winter, but there was only a pair of torn straw sandals under his feet, and his clothes were ragged and still summer clothes.
It was a poor boy he had found in the town's refugee slum.
The boy and several younger siblings, who were also homeless, slept in the corner of the temple.
When he said that he wanted to set fire, in the face of a high reward, the young man was moved but forcibly refused, and the young man said that they were poor, but they did not do anything to kill people and set fires.
It wasn't until Yun Fei explained the reason to him that he solemnly agreed.
"Is that you?"
Han Wenqing responded excitedly: "Yes...... The kid still remembers the strange tune that Uncle played back then. β
"Ahem." Yunfei pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment.
"If it weren't for the money you gave back then, my brothers and sisters would have been a pile of bones by now."
Soon after they left, the news of floods and pestilences came from the apocalypse, and every day the dead were filled with the pits of the dead.
Yao Qiyuan looked left and right, and asked puzzledly, "Daddy, do you know Brother Wen Qing?" β
"Uncle, it's me and my younger siblings......... benefactor"
In Han Wenqing's explanation, Yao Qiyuan understood the process of the two getting acquainted, but he was a little puzzled, "Daddy, what are you doing in a good way?" β
At that time, he was too young to remember that his sister had ever been sold.
Han Wenqing also thought of it now, and the girl back then was probably the daughter of the magistrate of Yao Zhi County today.
This kind of thing that was sold to Qinglou could not be passed on even if he died, so he and Yunfei both tacitly agreed to keep silent.
The attitude of the two made Yao Qiyue notice that there was a difference, and she didn't ask any more, but talked about holding a reception banquet for Han Wenqing in the evening.
That is, a family meal.
β¦β¦β¦
Under the warm hospitality of Yunfei and Qin's family that night, Han Wenqing finally met the peculiar girl during the day.
She was still dressed in men's clothes, with a long sword hanging from her waist.
The Qin clan couldn't accept it at the beginning. to the default, to today's habitual...... I don't have hope for my own girl to be gentle and gentle.
It's just a big marriage event......
"Tuan Tuan, yesterday your eldest aunt came to say, the son of the Zhang family in Fucheng ......"
"What! I suddenly remembered that I still have to interrogate the prisoner tonight, my father, my brother, and Han Gongzi...... I lost my company first. β
Yao Qiyue walked a cake and ran away with a chicken leg.
"This kid ......" Qin was helpless and angry.
"Alright, let her go! If you don't marry, you won't marry! Anyway, I've already bought the house next to it for her, so it's okay to stay by our side in the future, at least I don't have to worry about her being bullied. β
Qin glared at her husband angrily, "Our girl can defeat ten strong men by herself, who dares to bully her!" β
"Poof...... Ahem. Han Wenqing couldn't hold back his laughter, but he choked on the wine, and he apologized with red ears, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, Xiaosheng lost his temper." β
"It's okay...... Blame me! I'm used to nagging. β
"Mother, don't force the eldest sister, I will take care of her in the future!"
"You father and son are used to her! It's like I'm the stepmother, and I'm not doing it for her good. The Qin family was also worried that the rumors outside would hurt Yao Qiyue.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to persecute her daughter!
Although the people of Yuanding County admired Yao Qiyue very much, they never said anything bad about her.
But in the eyes of outsiders, an old girl who doesn't marry at the age of seventeen can't marry because of a bit of a problem......
And Han Wenqing, who heard that Yao Qiyue was not married, didn't know why, and suddenly felt that his face was red.
β¦β¦β¦
Although I am a little older......
But my uncle is fifteen years older than my aunt, so I have been with each other for the rest of my life! He's only the older girl, and he should be five or six years old......
When they first met, he was eleven years old, and the girl in his uncle's arms was about five or six years old.
If it was ten years ago, he really didn't dare to think about the daughter of the county family.
But that's no longer the case......
His younger brothers and sisters have grown up, started a family, started a business, and he himself is already a talent.
Just wait for the high school to raise people, and then look at the ranking, can you have an official and a half-job......
In the days that followed, he would always take Yao Qiyuan out of the house, and then have various chance encounters with Yao Qiyue.
Sometimes she's on patrol, sometimes she's helping to mediate small feuds among the people, and sometimes she's going to catch criminals with her catch.
Whenever he learned that she hadn't returned all night, he tossed and turned in worry.
Han Wenqing knew that he had completely planted ......
For the first time in his twenty-two years of life, he was worried about a girl.
It's not that his younger brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for him, there are peasant girls, talented daughters, and merchant daughters...... But none of them moved.
simply put his studies first, and all of them were politely refused.
But when I saw her on the street that day, the fierceness between her eyebrows and eyes suddenly entered his heart and his eyes.
β¦β¦β¦
It's the beginning of June again.
It's time for Yao Qiyuan to leave for Beijing to take the exam.
The night before the trip, Han Wenqing held a brocade box in his hand and mustered up the courage to knock on Yao Qiyue's courtyard door.
Squeak~
The door opened, and Yao Qiyue was a little surprised: "Ah, what are you doing so late with black sesame?" β
Hearing this nickname, Han Wenqing blushed, although others thought it didn't sound good, but he felt that it was a special one.
"Xiaosheng is polite!"
"Don't make this set, I don't know who you are?"
"Then I'll be blunt! Yao Qiyue I am pleased with you, after I am in high school, I will propose to your family, are you willing to wait for me? β
Yao Qiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "What if I don't want to?" β
"It's okay, then I'll wait until you want to, it doesn't matter if it's a few years, it doesn't matter if it's a few decades."
"Doesn't it matter if you don't get married for the rest of your life?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm a portrait, you catch the criminal! We'll be partners for life. β
"Tell me first! The Zhao Gongzi at the end of the street is now taking a detour when he sees me, did you do it? β
Han Wenqing bowed his head embarrassedly and admitted, "Yes......"
"What about the son of Wu Xiucai's family?"
"It's also ......"
"The eldest young master of the Zhang family?"
"Still ......"
"You can do it! lived in my house for more than two months, cut so many peach blossoms for me, let my mother know, I guess I was angry. β
"None of them are a good match."
"And who is that?"
Han Wenqing straightened his waist and said seriously: "Xiaosheng is twenty years old, there is no high hall at home, no wife and concubine, no room, no flowers and willows, no bad habits.
The younger siblings have each started a family, with three shops and 50 acres of fertile land under their names......
Deposit 10,000 taels of silver, and after marriage, you are willing to hand it over to the lady, listen to you outside, listen to you at home, listen to you for big things, and depend on you for small things...... Door-to-door son-in-law is also available.
I am willing to swear a poisonous oath and make a written note! There is only one person to marry in this life! β
It's early in the morning, so let's see it tomorrow morning! Thank you all for your ticket supportββββ
