Chapter 209: Why Don't You Laugh?
After ten days of continuous travel, he finally arrived in Qinghe County.
Lin Shuang'er stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the ancient plane tree, and her thoughts were suddenly brought back to two years ago.
It was here that I said goodbye to my home in Qinghe County, got on an ox cart alone, and arrived at the imperial city after a month and a half.
The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, but it can be regarded as a pure land.
Qinghe County has not changed at all, except that the plane tree at the entrance of the village seems to have become thicker again, and the leaves on it have turned yellow, and the ground is covered with a layer of plane leaves.
On this trip, in order not to attract attention, Ye Beicheng did not bring an entourage, everything was simple, and even the clothes were changed into a simple robe, and he was only called Lin Shuang'er's father-in-law to the outside world.
Back in her hometown, Lin Shuang'er seems to have become that carefree girl again, here, she has a complete childhood, with parents and brothers who love her, even if it is poor here, there is not even a decent shop, but here carries her best memories.
Lin Shuang'er pulled Ye Beicheng to the bottom of the sycamore tree, and said to Ye Beicheng with great interest: "Husband, do you know? This sycamore tree has a history of 100 years in Qinghe County......"
Yebei raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be surprised: "A hundred years is so long? It's amazing, my husband has never seen it before. ”
Lin Shuang'er was happy when she saw that he had never seen the world, thinking that he was in the imperial city and had seen a lot of bustling markets, and these ancient things should be extremely rare.
So he pulled him to an ancient well and said, "This ancient well also has a history of hundreds of years, the well water here is sweet and cool, and the people here need to rely on this ancient well to survive." ”
"Also, also, the stone mill at the entrance of the village is specially used to grind beans and corn......"
"Husband, look, that old cow was born when I was born, and Uncle Wu in the village relied on it to cultivate the land."
Lin Shuang'er couldn't wait to explain every item and every use in the village to Yebei Cheng.
Ye Beicheng listened patiently every time, nodded from time to time, and responded.
The sycamore tree at the entrance of the village is intertwined, the branches are luxuriant, and the people in the village always like to gather under the tree to enjoy the shade in their leisure time, and they are in groups of three or two, and they chatter from time to time.
Today's weather is good, and many villagers have gathered under the trees, all of whom are elderly.
When Lin Shuang'er and Ye Beicheng passed by the entrance of the village, they happened to meet them.
They were all old people in the village, and Lin Shuang'er naturally recognized them, so she passed in front of them generously and greeted them politely.
"Third uncle, second aunt, Uncle Wu, Grandma Liu......"
Lin Shuang'er had not yet had time to leave the village, and her appearance was naturally much more immature, and now that she came back from the imperial city, her appearance not only grew a lot, but her complexion and demeanor were very different from before.
Several old people were dizzy, and they didn't recognize them for a while, so they only squinted and stretched their necks to look forward, and it took a long time to react.
Second Aunt Wang was surprised: "Yo? Is Frost back? ”
Lin Shuang'er smiled sweetly: "Second Aunt has been in good health recently? ”
Only then did everyone recognize that the bright and moving little girl in front of them was really the skinny Lin Shuang'er back then.
Uncle Wu smiled: "It's really frost? Ouch, it's so good-looking, Uncle Wu is almost unrecognizable. ”
At this time, Grandma Liu noticed the man standing next to her, squinted and looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize who it was, so she pointed to Yebei and said, "Shuang'er, who is standing next to you?" Grandma Liu is old, her old eyes are dizzy, and she can't see people clearly. ”
Lin Shuang'er replied: "Grandma Liu, this is my husband." ”
The crowd was amazed again.
Grandma Liu suddenly realized: "Oh~ It turned out to be Qi Ming? ”
Holding her hand stiffened, Lin Shuang'er's heart trembled violently.
Before she could explain, Grandma Liu said to herself: "I heard that you entered Beijing to catch the top prize?" It can be regarded as giving us the face of the magistrate of Qinghe County. ”
"Although Grandma Liu is old, Grandma Liu is not blind, she has long seen that you like Shuang'er, Shuang'er looks smart, and you are a top talent, so you are a good match."
The force of pinching her hand gradually increased, Lin Shuang'er was in pain, she turned her head sideways, and really saw Ye Beicheng's gloomy face.
Lin Shuang'er hurriedly interrupted Grandma Liu's words: "Grandma Liu, this is not Brother Qi, you are looking at the wrong person." ”
Second Aunt Wang explained on the side: "Sister-in-law Liu, you are looking at the wrong person, this is really not Qi Ming. ”
Grandma Liu reacted with a look of pity: "Huh? Isn't it Qi Ming? Shuang'er, why didn't you marry Qi Ming? Now that he has won the championship, follow him and enjoy happiness. ”
Second Aunt Wang saw that Ye Beicheng's face was wrong, so she hurriedly poked Grandma Liu with her elbow and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't talk about it." ”
Grandma Liu sighed, and then closed her mouth.
Second Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly and said to Yebei: "Childe, her old eyes are dizzy, don't take her words to heart." ”
Ye Beicheng didn't speak, but his face was still gloomy, and he didn't look very easy to get along with.
Second Aunt Wang just looked at Lin Shuang'er and smiled awkwardly, and deliberately opened the topic and asked her, "Shuang'er, where does your father-in-law's family live?" What does it do? ”
Lin Shuang'er didn't dare to tell the truth, and before she came, Beicheng told her that they couldn't reveal their identities on this trip, so she pinched her identity at random and said: "My father-in-law is a small business, and his family lives in Chang'an City, so he made a special trip to accompany me to the countryside this time." ”
"A small business?" Second Aunt Wang looked at Ye Beicheng with a secretive look, and said with a sneer: "The small business is not bad. ”
Grandma Liu interjected inappropriately: "Alas...... How good it is to marry Qi Ming. ”
Lin Shuang'er hissed, and her wrist was about to be crushed by Ye Beicheng.
"Uncles and aunts, Shuang'er still has something to do, so let's go first!" Lin Shuang'er couldn't wait to disappear in front of them immediately, and when she saw them in the future, she would all take a detour.
Lin Shuang'er took Ye Beicheng's hand and fled from the village entrance quickly, just afraid that if she stayed here for a second longer, this big Buddha would go completely crazy.
Ye Beicheng was dragged by her, frowning slightly: "What's the hurry?" What else do they want to say? Shouldn't I say in the next sentence, this king is not worthy of you! ”
Sure enough, the voice behind him came slowly, so angry that Ye Beicheng immediately paused.
Grandma Liu said: "I see that the son is not easy to get along with, why don't you laugh?" Looking fierce, Frost looked like she was afraid of him. ”
Second Aunt Wang echoed: "I think so, Fang Cai's eyes can scare me half to death, maybe, I often beat and scold Shuang'er at home, just like my dead ghost husband!" ”
Grandma Liu said regretfully: "Alas, I see that Shuang'er's girl is smart and good-looking, we can't find a second one in ten miles and eight towns, Shuang'er is so good-looking, but it's a pity that the vision is not good, how can you find someone to do business?" How can a businessman be compared to an official, how good is it to marry Qi Ming? Qi Ming likes Shuang'er so much, he definitely won't beat and scold her! ”
Aunt Wang said: "Who said it wasn'......?"
Ye Beicheng's face was pale, and his fingers were clenched......
