Chapter 81: Go home for the New Year
Wei Yao's eyes turned restlessly, and he suddenly mentioned as if inadvertently: "General, tomorrow ...... It is the Chinese New Year's Eve, if you insist on not listening to the holy edict to return to Taiyuan, then the Chengshangju side of Shanyun has been arranged for you, will we spend New Year's Day there this year? β
Yu Wensheng turned his finger joints, his eyes fell on the deep stream of snow, and the slightly hooked corners of his lips still revealed his expectations: "I am now married, naturally I want to spend New Year's Day with my wife, if you think Fu County is deserted, you can go to Chengshangju for the festival by yourself." β
When Wei Yao heard this, his face lit up: "Yes, yes, the general is right, blame his subordinates for having a poor memory, This New Year's Day, which family doesn't pay attention to a reunion, since the general has married his wife, he naturally lives with his wife, so ...... Zebang and I won't go to Chengshangju, can we also go to Sang's house to have a good time? β
He asked apprehensively.
Yu Wensheng turned his head and smiled at him as easily as he refused.
"I can't."
Wei Yao's face suddenly collapsed, and she pretended to cry and said sadly: "General, why do you deliberately hide from your wife?" You see, we have been married for a long time, but they don't let us see each other, and they don't allow us to investigate anything about Mrs. in private, If it weren't for the overheard Sang Xuanqing's words that day, we still don't know who Mrs. is, wouldn't you ...... I haven't told my wife anything, I've been deceiving our wife with Liu Fengmian's fake identity, right? β
Thinking of this possibility, Wei Yao's heart "chuckled", and he couldn't help but carefully look at the general's expression.
I saw that Yu Wensheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was terrifying, but Wei Yao was so frightened that he was silent.
Finished.
He guessed right.
"New Year's Day, according to the folk saying, is a family reunion, dust together, drive away the epidemic, celebrate together, pray for a healthy New Year, these words sound quite unusual, I have the first time to have a family that can do these things, naturally to have a good experience, after ...... I'll tell her. β
Yu Wensheng slowly adjusted his soft tone, and his tone was casual and playful, but Wei Yao's chest was like being poked by a sharp sword, and he heard a sad and uncomfortable feeling.
They general...... Maybe he wasn't afraid of being alone and lonely for a long time, but he wasn't happy to do it, but he was forced by fate to get used to it.
Wei Yao still remembers the general when he was a child, he didn't like to laugh, he couldn't cry, he had no father, no mother, no one to protect him, no one to teach.
At that time, he would often stand under a dense banyan tree, and under the shade of the tree, he would look up at the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves.
The lonely cold lingered around him, and he swam in the shadows, only this thin ray of sunlight shining down reflected in his pupils, giving him the bright warmth of the winter day.
That scene hit Xiao Weiyao's heart for a long time, and it is still unforgettable.
Wei Yao blurted out: "General, are you worried that if your wife knows that you are Yu Wensheng, she will ...... Out of sorts? β
Originally, he wanted to say and leave, but he was really afraid that he would be chopped into a stick by the general, so he urgently changed his words.
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Wensheng didn't speak for a while, but Wei Yao understood in seconds.
"Otherwise, the general can test Madame first, see her attitude towards General Yuwen, if the general admires you very much, then you can tell her with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Yu Wensheng carefully filtered the operation process in his mind, and said with a smile: "I have my own ideas about these things, and I still need you to teach them?" β
Wei Yao didn't blame the general for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he was just thinking, everything has two side results, good results, of course you accept this result, but if Mrs. hears the reputation of "Living Yama", which can be called "Zhang Liaozhi Cry", I think you will do at that time.
ββ
Seeing that this rush was almost until Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Quqi remembered what he had forgotten.
Other craftsmen are all on holiday on New Year's Day, and they have a two-day holiday, but Zheng Quqi has a different status now, so he naturally has some special treatment.
After arranging things properly, Mu Ke came to inform her of the news that Chinese New Year's Eve could go home on vacation, and she was quite confused.
Mu Ke laughed at her: "Ah Qing, what's wrong?" Are you still not happy when you come home from vacation? β
Zheng Quqi took a breath and shook his head hurriedly: "It's not ......."
It's just that how to go back, she doesn't have time to think about it at all!
"After the year, your craftsman rating should be able to come down, and then Uncle will pick a time to send it to you." Muko told her good news.
Zheng Quqi immediately shook off the trivial and troublesome things in his mind, and said flatteredly: "Uncle Mu, how can I ask you to send it to me, I'll just get it myself." β
"Don't get in the way, Uncle heard that your new home is built very specially, that is, the wall of your courtyard is too high, and even the night thieves dare not climb it, for fear of falling down, so everyone else is curious, what kind of treasure is your family cultivated, it is worth you to hide like this, Uncle listened, and also became curious, this is not just to find a chance to visit it."
Seeing that he has talked to this point, can Zheng Quqi still refuse?
She smiled happily: "That uncle can come at any time, and Xuan Qing can be warmly received at any time." β
When Mu Ke heard what she said, he smiled with his eyebrows: "Okay, but can you ask Uncle to bring your big brother Wei with you, you two, it's time to talk about it, you can't keep twisting things all the time, you should solve it in time when it's time to solve it, and it will be a dead end after a long time." β
Zheng Quqi paused.
She didn't think about anything else, but if Wei Yao came to her house, if she met Liu Fengmian, then Liu Fengmian's subordinate to Yu Wensheng would definitely be exposed.
But sooner or later, the two of them will have to talk about it, and she really has something to ask Liu Fengmian, for example, Yu Wensheng is so reluctant that "Zheng Quqi" knows about Liu Fengmian's relationship with him, what is the reason.
There is also Liu Fengmian, in addition to doing things for Yu Wensheng, does he have any other identity and origin.
"Okay, listen to uncle, I actually wanted to talk to Brother Wei a long time ago, but he still owes me a set of soft bone techniques that I haven't taught."
Everything should be said and said, so she will be mentally prepared and accept it calmly.
"Hahaha, uncle heard him say it, you want to grow taller, you really have to work harder than others, but being short also has the advantage of being short, isn't there an old saying that is good, ambition is not tall." He quipped.
Zheng Quqi was very depressed when he heard it: "Uncle, I don't want to grow taller, at least ...... When I grow up to the point where others don't see me, the first impression is that little man. β
One meter and four, she wore a pair of thick-soled shoes, and she barely managed to make up one meter five, she still specializes in men's work, mixed in a bunch of tall men, and is called a little short every day, she doesn't want to lose face.
Mu Ke saw that she was really uncomfortable, and he also put away his smile.
"Okay, it's the uncle who is tall and doesn't know the discomfort of the short one, and he said the wrong thing. In this way, in addition to Wei Yao teaching you soft bone techniques, my uncle's mother-in-law knows some decoction nourishing methods, let me ask for you, see if I can add a pair of decoction for you. β
"Really?" Zheng Quqi was pleasantly surprised on the spot.
Mu Ke nodded and said, "Uncle won't lie to you, but Uncle still has to ask about the situation, don't report too high expectations first." β
However, Zheng Quqi couldn't restrain himself a little: "Uncle, you must have to give me a heart for this, I think I must have been too hard in my previous life to cause me to be thin, you don't know that my brother is tall, this from a genetic point of view, genetic defects can't just point to me as a scourge, maybe the focus is to make up, I can really grow taller later." β
This child, as soon as he was excited, talked nonsense, what "genetics", what "genetic defects", listening to the ancient weird, make people scratch their heads.
Because of Uncle Mu's promise, Zheng Quqi began to have expectations and fantasies about his future height.
She didn't expect the height of 1.7 meters in her previous life, but she was very satisfied if she could grow from 1.46 meters to 1.66+ in this life.
ββ
On the way back to Fuxian from Guiqiling, Zheng Quqi has been thinking about how to arrange "Sang Xuanqing" and "Zheng Quqi".
They showed up together, and she definitely couldn't do it.
She doesn't know how to doppelgΓ€nger.
Therefore, these two identities can only appear one after the other.
In view of the fact that the character of "Sang Xuanqing" belongs to the image of being busy, not at home, and making money outside, and he is not in a hurry, then call "Zheng Quqi" back for the New Year.
After all, there is a fresh newlywed husband in the family of "Zheng Quqi", waiting for her.
That night, they unexpectedly reunited near the workshop, and they didn't have a good chat, and finally she left a word, and the people sneaked away, and I don't know if Liu Fengmian was angry.
How do you think about it, the situation also belongs to the "Zheng Quqi" side, which is more anxious.
After the New Year's Day, let "Zheng Quqi" go to the people's mansion and pay New Year's greetings, and then change to "Sang Xuanqing" to come back to entertain Uncle Mu and them.
Yes, for the time being, it's just going to be so rough, and if you encounter any accidents along the way, you'll find another way.
Zheng Quqi familiarized herself with the ready-to-wear shop again, paid the money, hid in the changing room to remove her face makeup and change her clothes, and slipped out of the back door of the shop.
According to the original plan, she first went to the county to buy some things needed for the New Year's holiday, not asking for more, but every time she went home, she wanted to bring something back to her worried family.
In the end, she returned to Hegou Village with a large bag and a small bag.
On the country road, the snow is fluttering, the dry mulberry and the old cypress are cold, and the population is sparse.
But when she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw a person waiting next to the old cypress tree and under the bridgeβ
Her light brown eyes were wide, small snowflakes, fluttering gently like catkins, the figure was like a pine tree standing in the white snow, like heaven and earth competing for luxury, although the twilight of the year was cold, she felt that the coolness of this way seemed to be dispersed at once.
"Liu Fengmian!"
She shouted happily.
After changing back to the original female voice, her voice is more crisp and beautiful, like a kingfisher playing water, which makes people feel more comfortable.
The figure was facing diagonally in her direction, and it seemed to pause when it heard the sound, and then slowly turned around.
The fox green long fur dragged a ripple arc, his face turned leisurely, the red veil of eyes fluttered with the wind, more and more set off the beauty and superiority of his facial features, and the entire hill, mulberry forest, snow cypress, together into a pair of infinitely quiet and beautiful silver-white world.
Inexplicably, she looked at her dry mouth for a while.
A man looks so disgusting and does crimes!
Although he couldn't see it, he was able to accurately capture her location.
"Curved ruler."
When he called her, the words were very clear, and the surname was missing, but he didn't call her by the nickname ruler like Brother Sang, not close, not far, like a friend, and like a friend who was about to cross the line.
Listening to him call her name, it would be too obvious for her to call him by name and surname again.
She picked up her burden and trotted forward: "Fengmian, why are you standing here?" Are you waiting for me? How do you know I'm back today? β
Her voice is light and refreshing, and although she is not talkative, she is quite talkative, especially when she is in a happy mood.
This is the opposite of Yu Wensheng's personality.
Even if he looks easy to get along with when he pretends to be, he will not talk at length with others unless it is necessary, and he has never had the experience of chatting about homely things.
But when he saw that she was interested in chatting, he also catered to her, as if it was natural.
"I'm waiting for you."
Only three words, but Zheng Quqi's heartbeat missed half a beat.
This guy ...... Where did you go to study? Why is it so flirtatious all of a sudden?
"Then if I come back late, or if something delays me and I don't come back today, will you keep waiting?" She asked curiously.
Yu Wensheng walked forward, Zheng Quqi followed beside him, he thought for a moment and said, "No." β
Zheng Quqi was not angry, let alone disappointed, but relieved: "Yes, if you want to wait, wait for me at home, wait until night on a snowy day, that's not sincerity, that's stupid, I know you're waiting for me, you have to go home after all, you bake the fire, eat, warm and wait for me, isn't it?" β
Yu Wensheng imagined that scene as she described it, and then smiled: "Although I didn't mean to, I always wanted to be able to pick you up earlier." β
As for why he wanted to see her earlier and pick her up earlier, he didn't think about it, he just thought so and did it.
This smile is too warm.
"That day...... I left in a hurry, you're not angry, are you? β
"What if you're angry, what's if you're not angry?"
"If you're angry, I'll have to coax you, I made a special trip to buy you some good things in the county this time, by the way, have you finished eating the candy I gave you before?"
"Nope."
"Don't be reluctant to eat, I bought some again this time, and promised me that once you are unhappy or in a bad mood, you will eat more sugar and don't save, because I will buy it for you."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
"I also bought some for my eldest brother and younger sister for the New Year, do you want to take a look at ......?"
With a slight smile, he glanced at it lightly with his afterglow, and let out an uninterested "oh~".
He didn't deliberately restrain his expression, so Zheng Quqi could see his displeasure at a glance.
"......" Do you know that the rain and dew are stained? If you buy it, you will laugh, and if you buy it for others, you will be unhappy, you can't be so jealous, do you know?
Maybe it was Zheng Quqi's sudden silence that made Yu Wensheng realize that he had "made".
"I'm not upset."
He smiled at her again.
Hey, I want to cover up.
She leaned over and whispered to him, "I'll buy you more." β
He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the smile spread from the corners of his upturned lips to the bottom of Yuewan's eyes, and finally he was a little sincere.
"Hmm."
Zheng Quqi tilted his head to observe him, grinning, and thought, it's really coaxing.
It was just a white lie, and he believed it.
