Chapter 40: The Head of the Plum Blossom Gem

Yuan Qi closed his eyes, and the tiredness on his face could not be concealed: "There is no need to worry about the Qin family's affairs, even if she sues the official, she will not pay attention." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded subconsciously and asked softly, "Your injury has been bleeding." ”

Yuan Qi glanced down at his abdomen and said, "The divine doctor will help me deal with it." ”

"Then I'll go back to sleep first, if I come out for too long, A-Niang will be worried." Cheng Qingwan was just about to get up, when she felt a slip on her wrist, she paused and took off the bead string.

"Now that you've paid for the room, it's time to pay it back to you."

Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, took the bead string and put it back on for her again, and said softly: "I also want to ask you, why the wheat grows so well, this is the tuition fee." ”

Cheng Qingwan looked at him, as if she understood something, and suddenly smiled: "Okay." ”

As the words fell, she stepped out of the carriage.

The sky was already snowing at this time, Cheng Qingwan walked to the door of the house, turned her head, and in the snowflakes, the black carriage was still there.

She raised her hand, waved at the person who had been watching her, and immediately entered the house.

She walked into the room lightly, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Song Qiaoqiao standing at the window, looking at her with a smile.

"I'm back so soon."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at her expression and sat down in the quilt: "Aren't you introverted?" ”

When Song Qiaoqiao heard this, she coughed lightly, as if she hadn't heard it.

"Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Cheng Qingwan lay on the bed and yawned lazily.

Song Qiaoqiao saw that she closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, so she didn't ask any more questions and lay down beside her.

I don't know if it's too tired, but this night, everyone slept soundly, and when they woke up, it was already dawn.

Cheng Qingwan sat by the window, looking at the heavy snow that was still falling outside, thinking about when it would stop.

Lian Zhi and Cheng Hua'er next to them were calculating the expenses of the past few days, Song Qiaoqiao and Aunt Liu were doing embroidery work, and Lian Song was obediently practicing calligraphy.

A large family sat in the house, enjoying themselves.

The snow fell until Chinese New Year's Eve, and the snow in the yard was almost knee-deep.

Early in the morning, Cheng Qingwan took the juniors to start clearing the snow.

"Miss Cheng." Ah Zhu set up the carriage, at the gate of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "The lord has collected the wheat, let you go and see if this wheat is okay." ”

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she responded with a smile: "Okay, you wait for me." ”

She put down her broom and went into the kitchen to get two pieces of candy.

"Wanwan, it's almost lunch, where are you going?"

Cheng Qingwan took a piece of cloth, wrapped the sugar and said, "Lord Yuan's wheat has been harvested, let me take a look." ”

Cheng Xi'er originally wanted her to go after lunch, but looking at her excited appearance, the words changed to her mouth: "Then you slow down on the road, and let Master Yuan come for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening." ”

"Okay, I'll ask first."

Cheng Qingwan responded, took the candy and quickly got into the carriage.

Cheng Hua'er looked at her distant back and sighed softly.

"Why did you sigh all of a sudden?" Aunt Liu kneaded her dough on the side and asked softly.

"Wan Wan is like this, she must have fallen in love with Yuanqi." The woman looked at the shadow of the carriage in the distance, and said sadly: "I just don't know what Yuanqi is thinking." ”

"I think Master Yuan must also like Wan Wan, otherwise what would he be doing running to us again and again?"

Cheng Hua'er shook her head: "It's one thing to like it, and it's another thing to talk about marriage." The Yuan family is a famous family, Yuan Qi will definitely live in the court in the future, and his wife must also be the right person. ”

"That can't be so absolute, what if he just likes Wanwan and wants to marry her."

"If Wanwan's father recognizes her, it is still possible." Cheng Hua'er pinched the dough, put the finished rabbit in the steamer, and smiled contemptuously: "However, that man is cold-blooded and ruthless, I'm afraid I don't know that I still have a daughter." ”

"Wanwan's father is not dead? Then why didn't you tell him? ”

"He doesn't deserve it." Cheng Hua'er seemed to think of something, and her face became very bad: "Sister Liu, don't tell Wan Wan about this, lest it be bad." ”

Aunt Liu listened to this, and made up the drama in her mind that a negative scumbag killed a girl from a good family and did not admit it after the accident.

Even looking at the person in front of her with pity in her eyes, she nodded solemnly and responded.

As soon as Cheng Qingwan got out of the carriage, she saw Yuanqi standing at the door.

Holding an umbrella, she walked briskly.

Yuan Qi stretched out his hand to help her and said softly, "Slow down." ”

Cheng Qingwan patted the snow on her body and said with a smile: "What about the wheat?" ”

The young man's face froze, and then he smiled and led her to the back room, where the freshly harvested wheat was piled up.

"These are all freshly harvested, and I just planted a little bit in the backyard vegetable patch, and I can double the number of others."

Cheng Qingwan squatted down and looked at the wheat carefully, and said softly: "These wheat are all good." ”

"It's good, so I think it's weird."

"Huh?" Cheng Qingwan turned her head and asked suspiciously, "What are you wondering about?" ”

"In the cold winter and heavy snow, the wheat was able to survive and not freeze to death." Yuanqi stared at her eyes, as if he could see through everything: "So, Miss Cheng, can you tell me, why is this like this?" ”

Cheng Qingwan was a little flustered by his staring, and coughed lightly: "This is still taken care of by Lord Yuan." ”

"I've been left with it for twelve days, or you've counted it yourself."

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, her old face suddenly turned red, and her brain spun fast to see if she could find a reason to justify it.

Yuan Qi looked at her frowning little expression, with a smile in his eyes, and reached out to lead her to the dining table.

"Have some lunch with me?"

"Huh?" Before Cheng Qingwan could react, a bowl of chicken soup was placed in front of her: "Haven't you eaten it yet?" ”

"Nope."

"Coincidentally, I didn't eat either."

Cheng Qingting looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of her, three meat and two vegetables, and estimated that her family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not so rich tonight.

After thinking about it, I decided to convey A-Niang's words: "My A-Niang asked you to go to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, if you don't want to go, it's okay, I'll follow ......"

"Okay."

"Huh?" Cheng Qingwan raised her head violently and looked at the person who was eating: "Are you really going?" ”

"Yes, the elders invited, I have to go." Yuanqi put the chicken leg into her bowl and said with a smile.

Cheng Qingting looked at his cold face and decided to take the vaccination first: "My family only ate a full meal not long ago, so the Chinese New Year's Eve meal will not be too rich." ”

"Okay."

The boy should have done this very naturally, and it was not good for her to say anything more.

Cheng Qingwan took a sip of chicken soup, suddenly thought of what she brought, and hurriedly took out the handkerchief she put on her waist and handed it to him.

Yuan Qi looked at this handkerchief, his face turned red, thinking that it was some kind of love token, and when he took it, he found that it was wrapped in it.

He opened it and saw that it was a few pieces of solidified sugar.

"This is what I made myself out of sugarcane, and my aunt will take a piece every time she finishes taking medicine, so you can try it too."

"Okay." Yuan Qi broke off a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth: "It's very sweet." ”

"I made it myself, and it must be sweet." Cheng Qingwan responded with a smile, and then took the chopsticks and began to cook seriously.

Yuanqi had a small amount of rice and ate quickly, and everything was eaten quickly.

He looked at the person in front of him, like a hamster, his cheeks were bulging, and he kept holding chopsticks to pick up vegetables for her, and his eyes showed a bit of pampering that even he didn't pay attention to.

Cheng Qingwan was full of this meal, Yuanqi was in a good mood, only Ah Zhu sat aside and held a bowl of tasteless food......

"I've got a New Year's gift for you." Yuan Qi took her hand and walked to a large sandalwood box.

He opened the box, which was filled with a full box.

Cheng Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and instantly thought of a nesting doll: "There won't be another box in this box." ”

Yuan Qi shook his head with a smile, took the square box, and handed it to her: "Open it and take a look." ”

Cheng Qingwan opened it and saw that there was a very delicate set of plum blossom gem heads lying inside.

She looked at this set of heads in surprise and muttered, "It's so beautiful." ”

Yuan Qi touched her head, and before she could speak, she heard someone break in.

"Brother Yuan, long time no see." Su Yunwei took off the hat of the red cloak and said with a smile: "You have a guest here." ”

Cheng Qingwan heard the familiar figure, and turned her head to see that the petite girl was standing at the door wearing a festive red cloak.

"You, why are you here?"

"Miss Su, what are you looking for me?" Yuan Qi interrupted her and asked.

"My brother-in-law asked you to come for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, and I specially came to pick you up." Su Yunwei walked quickly to him, and just happened to see the head of the gem that had not been covered, and immediately shouted: "This, this is not the set I want, Brother Yuan, you don't give it to me and give it to her!" ”

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows proudly, and deliberately covered the box very loudly: "Thank you Lord Yuan for your New Year's gift, I like it very much." ”

"Brother Yuan!" When Su Yunwei heard this, she immediately pulled his sleeve and began to be coquettish, eager to stick people to him.

Yuan Qi frowned, and took a step back: "Miss Su, we have known each other for less than a month, you should call me Master Yuan with your sister." ”

Cheng Qingwan hugged the box, found a chair to sit down, crossed Erlang's legs, and almost watched the play with melon seeds.

When Su Yunwei heard this, she pouted and said aggrievedly: "But, but I like you very much." ”

When Yuan Qi heard this, a trace of ridiculousness flashed in his eyes, he walked to Cheng Qingwan's side, poured a glass of water, and said with a smile: "We have only been in contact for two days, you don't even know what my temperament is, just talk about liking?" ”

Su Yunwei had a hint of panic on her face, and hurriedly said: "I just like it, it was love at first sight, it's all written in the book." ”

Cheng Qingwan listened to this, and instantly became interested in the dialogue book: "What kind of book, recommend it?" ”

Su Yunwei's feelings that had just been brewed were instantly diluted by these words, she gritted her teeth, and said angrily: "You forced my sister to withdraw from the marriage that day, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet." What has a relationship with Lord Wei, my brother-in-law has already asked yesterday, and Lord Wei doesn't know you at all. ”

"Isn't this marriage your sister willing to withdraw?" Cheng Qingwan raised her eyebrows and played with the cyan fabric.

"If you hadn't run to my sister and said that Song Zhaodi would commit suicide, you and Lord Wei knew each other, my sister would not have withdrawn from the marriage, and Song Zhaodi would have already come to the door to serve that sick man."

"She won't." Cheng Qingwan closed her eyes, looked at the girl in front of her, and said coldly: "If this marriage is really done, your family is probably holding a funeral now." ”

"A poor peasant's daughter, when she dies, she dies, and a coffin is already capped, how can my family still hold a funeral for her."

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Cheng Qingwan or Yuan Qi, their faces became very ugly.

Cheng Qingwan knew that this was a feudal society, the status of poor peasants was low, and the superior could ask for a life with a lift of his hand, but this was a living person......
