Chapter 28: Country II
"Look, that's our home." Xiao Chenyu pointed to the house at the foot of the mountain in front of him with a horsewhip.
At the foot of the mountain, a tall mud wall encloses a circle, and a little green tile can be seen from the roof.
"Your family ......" Qin Xun was speechless for a while.
Xiao Chenyu's house in the town was still "abducted and deceived" by him. Therefore, Qin Xun always thought that the house in Xiao Chenyu's hometown must be a dilapidated thatched house, and even the residents were a little reluctant.
But now it seems that this house is at least Deva, so why should he marry in the town?
"Didn't you say you were almost out of the house at the beginning?" For the first time, Qin Xun became curious about Xiao Chenyu.
"It is true that I didn't get anything back then, but I also had fifty taels of silver." Xiao Chenyu was very happy that Qin Xun could take the initiative to ask him about it, so he carefully explained it to Qin Xun.
"But fifty taels of silver bought land and built a house, and there was still some left. However, my mother suddenly became seriously ill at that time, and almost all of her medicine was bought. ”
Qin Xun understood that the situation at that time was probably a big blow to her mother-in-law, her husband died, and she didn't even have a home, but fortunately she had a son to take care of her, otherwise she would not be able to delay it for three years.
Xiao Chenyu told Qin Xun: After the family was divided, although the old house was given to the eldest brother, if he wanted to build a house in the village, the patriarch would also point out a piece of land to him.
But Xiao Chenyu was full of resentment back then, coupled with his youthful vigor, he refused the patriarch's kindness and resolutely moved out of the village.
His mother persuaded him not to get into too much trouble with the clan, but Xiao Chenyu was single and weak, and he also listened to his mother's words. He declared to the public that he wanted to keep filial piety to his father, so he chose to buy land at the foot of the mountain and build a house.
This makes sense, because this back mountain is the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family. If it weren't for the family's great significance to a person, Xiao Chenyu would have wanted to break away from the Xiao family at that time.
After the house was built and his mother was settled, Xiao Chenyu was full of ideas to make money, and naturally he didn't go to school, and he also stopped taking the test for fame.
There are a few flavors of medicine in his mother's prescription that are too expensive, so Xiao Chenyu went up the mountain to pick them by himself, and Xiao Chenyu has been studying since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a weak scholar who does not produce anything, so every time he went up the mountain at that time, Liu Xi accompanied him, and Liu Xi was desperate to save him when he encountered danger several times.
Now when he talks about the events of that year, he only thinks it's funny, but it's just a little embarrassing, but back then, he only felt that the sky was about to fall, and the small backbone supported this family hard.
"Later, when my mother died, I didn't need to go up the mountain, I had more time, so I started to write books and sell them for money, and I could earn a little money by selling paintings at the end of the year and the beginning of the year."
Therefore, he once said that in addition to killing people and setting fires, you can actually try it, and it seems that it is not nonsense.
"It's here, get off!"
The carriage stopped at the gate, Xiao Chenyu jumped out of the car, reached out and hugged Qin Xun's waist and hugged her, leaning into her ear and whispering: "So, don't worry, I can support you." ”
Qin Xun pushed him away vigorously, looked around hurriedly, and saw that no one was glaring at Xiao Chenyu, and said, "I have more silver in my hand than you, who will raise whom?" ”
Xiao Chenyu laughed wantonly and took a step back, bowed his hand to Qin Xun, and said with a smile: "Then Mrs. Lao is under raise." ”
Qin Xun looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Why didn't you think you were so flamboyant before?" ”
"You haven't been through the door before, I'm afraid I'll scare you, but now, hehe!" Xiao Chenyu said very shamelessly, looking happy to hug the beauty.
Qin Xun ignored the man who kicked his nose and face, raised his eyes and looked around, only hearing the sound of birds singing in the mountains and forests and the sound of the wind blowing in the treetops, he was inexplicably a little happy in his heart, and sighed: "It's so quiet here." ”
In his previous life, Qin Xun lived in the town when he was a child, although he didn't go out, but when Qin Xun was young, there were still a lot of people in the family, until Qin Xiong couldn't fly, and the family situation gradually deteriorated, and the Su family dismissed all the unnecessary subordinates.
Later, he went to Qin's house, and before getting married, he had to learn the rules, and lived in Qin's house for half a year. The Qin family is a big family, and there are many people, and in those months, they lived in the same room with the Qin family's daughters, and the maids of the two of them were also very lively.
As for marrying into a wealthy family, needless to say, there are groups of concubines, a lot of concubines, and even grandchildren are older than Qin Coward, all of them are scheming and ruthless, and none of them are good at stubble.
Therefore, when he saw this small courtyard, Qin Xun was overjoyed. She actually hates the days of deceit, but where there are people, she can't be alone and enjoy a moment of silence.
"This wall is so high!" Qin Xun walked to the bottom of the wall and looked up, this is the wall is very high, and there are many broken tiles embedded in the wall, who wants to climb over the wall is not easy.
Xiao Chenyu never expected that his small house in the countryside would make Qin Xun smile purely.
"My family is a single family, and I have to guard against some thieves and robbers, and besides, this place is close to the mountain, and I am afraid that wild things in the mountains will run out, and if I am not at home, I am afraid that my mother will be in danger, so this wall is made extra tall and strong."
As he spoke, Xiao Chenyu took out the key to open the gate and let Qin Xun go in first, and he drove the carriage into the backyard through the side door.
Qin Xun looked around the room.
The hall has a dining room, two bedrooms on the left and right, and from the back door of the hall is the backyard, which used to be planted with vegetables, but now it is deserted. The kitchen, latrine, and firewood room are all in the backyard.
Qin Xun suddenly remembered Mr., Mr. must also like this kind of yard, just a stove of incense, a cup of tea, and a book to spend a leisurely time.
I don't know if Mr. has successfully arrived in his hometown? How long will his bones last?
The back door opened, pulling Qin Corian's thoughts back.
Xiao Chenyu drove the carriage to the firewood room, led the horse to the vacant shed next to it, tied the horse rope, and took the grass tied behind the carriage to feed the horse.
Seeing him methodically busy, Qin Xun suddenly said, "Actually, it's okay for us to live here after we get married, why do you bother to go to the town to get a house?" ”
Last night, Qin Xun already knew how the house in the town came about, and at that time, Qin Xun had a thought in his heart: this person is extremely good at cheating.
"Come to live in the countryside, are you willing to give up your mother-in-law? Besides, I'm afraid you don't like life in the country. After Xiao Chenyu fed the horses, he carried a bundle of firewood from the firewood room and walked to the kitchen.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xun knew that he was going to cook, and he also went over to help.
The kitchen has not been burned for a long time, and it is somewhat deserted, and the pots and pans need to be washed with boiling water before they can be used.
Qin Xun wanted to help, but he was powerless.
Xiao Chenyu saw that she was cramped, and he suddenly felt funny in his heart. Originally, Qin Coriander gave people the feeling of cold arrogance and loneliness. Now she finds that she will like this little yard in the countryside, and she will also be at a loss for the kitchen work.
After he lit the stove fire, he pulled Qin Coriander over and asked her to sit on the stool: "You can help me watch the fire, and add some wooden sticks to the fire when the fire is small." ”
Then he looked at her new red clothes, and felt that it was inappropriate: "Your clothes will be dirty, or you can sit aside and talk to me." I'm used to doing this work, and I'll be able to do it well soon. ”
Qin Xun looked down and shook his head: "It's okay, I'll be careful." ”
Xiao Chenyu no longer insisted, and suddenly smiled: It turns out that someone is accompanied, even if it's just cooking, it's good.
