On the way down the mountain, Xu Guangde met Zhao Qi head-on, and he was more anxious to be a thief.

Zhao Qi hadn't been here for more than half a year, and at this time, his heart was beating like thunder, worried that something big would happen, and he rushed up the mountain.

He came to the door of Qing'e's house, his heart was swollen, his muscles were bursting, and he dispersed the people gathered outside the door.

"Uncle Qi..."

"Ruru." Zhao Qi looked around the room in a daze, "What's going on?" Xu Guangde, what did Xu Guangde do with that brute? I, I'm going to kill him, you wait, I'm going to kill him! ”

"Stop."

Qing'e slowly raised her eyes, "Who are you going to kill?" Help me up first. ”

Seeing that she didn't look like she was hurt, Zhao Qi helped her up, calmed down and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's nothing, retribution is coming. Brother Qi, I can't stand still, go to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of porridge and water. ”

Zhao Qi didn't shake his face with Qing'e for the first time, but just went to the kitchen to make something to eat for the two of them, Qing'e was lying on the floor with Ru Ru in her arms, her lips were colorless, as if she was overwhelmed and her soul was not possessed.

Zhao Qi moved to the kang table to set up the meal, quickly fried two side dishes, and asked Qing'e to eat some rice porridge.

Qing'e thanked her, sat up and took a sip of hot porridge with a bowl, her whole body relaxed, and said lightly: "Don't worry, Xu Guangde didn't do anything to me, he just took my land." ”

Zhao Qi's eyebrows tightened, but he didn't say anything, and took two mouthfuls of porridge, "You said that you live alone in the mountains, are you asking for hardship?" ”

Qing'e didn't answer, and gave Ruru some food in the bowl, "Don't just eat sauce radish, it's too salty." ”

Zhao Qi probably felt that the previous sentence was unnecessary, and regretted it a little, and thought in her heart, is Qing'e ironing him for eating salty radishes and worrying about it? Not very refreshing, cleared his throat, and said to Ruru: "Ruru likes to eat turnips? ”

Ru Ru held the bowl, only her head and arms were exposed on the table, looking as if she was about to sink off the table, her eyes were rolling smartly, "I like to eat meat!" ”

Zhao Qi smiled and touched the top of Ruru's hair, "Like me, I also like to eat meat." ”

After speaking, Ru Ru remembered Xu Guangde's words, squinted her eyes and quietly observed Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi didn't notice it, and asked Ru Ru to go outside to get leftovers to feed the puppy, and she just happened to be able to say a few words with Qing'e.

Seeing this, Qing'e got up and wanted to go to the house to get money, but Zhao Qi pulled her back, "I'm not here to ask for money." Probably unable to convince himself, he paused, "I don't want it now." ”

He stumbled for a while, wanting to ask her if she wanted to live with him again, but he couldn't say anything, and finally went to the courtyard and picked up a pickaxe, "I'll find someone surnamed Xu, and I'll reason with him." ”

"Brother Qi!" Qing'e hurriedly shouted to him and pulled him back into the house, "No need, you can't afford to offend him." ”

"And what do you do?"

"What can I do, I can't hide if I can't be provoked? If I don't take care of his land, can I still take care of it? Just go. ”

To say that this matter has nothing to do with Qin Xiaolin, Qing'e doesn't believe it. But she had already made up her mind to draw a clear line with Qin Xiaolin at that time, and she didn't want Zhao Qi to get involved, so she didn't specifically explain this person to Zhao Qi.

"You have a lot of ideas, I can't interfere, just watch it yourself, no one can control anyone's life or death." Zhao Qi knew that he and Qing'e had drifted apart in the past few years, although it was not as good as the relationship in the previous year

stiffened, but he was no longer the closest person she had in the world.

Qing'e smiled, "I'll go take a break and watch L Ruru for me for a while." ()”

"You're not here, Ruru always misses you."

Zhao Qi was happy when she heard it, "She misses me?" Then I should see her go, you can rest. ”

Zhao Qi walked out of the house and took Ruru's little dirty hand in the palm of his hand, Xu is old, and he also thinks that the child is very interesting, squatting down and pulling away a little flower dog that jumped on Ruru's lap, "Don't play with the dog, the dog is dirty, wash your hands, uncle will take you down the mountain to buy something delicious and fun." ”

Ru Ru clapped her hands happily, "I want to buy a candy man, Qing'e didn't buy it for me last time in the city, it was the big official who bought it for me." ”

Zhao Qi was stunned, "What kind of official?" ”

"It's Lin Daguan." The child couldn't understand anything, Zhao Qi frowned, and led Ru Ru down the mountain, thinking that Qing'e didn't tell him to meddle in his affairs, just because she had this Lin Daguan, and she didn't need him at all.

"Is it good for Lin Daguan to treat Qing'e and Ruru?"

Ru Ru nodded, and Zhao Qi asked again: "Is it me who treats you well, or does Lin Daguan treat you well?" ”

"Lin Daguan is good, my uncle always doesn't come to play with me, every time you come, everyone says that you are here to blackmail Qing'e for money, and every time you come back, Qing'e will not laugh." After that, Ru Ru looked up at Zhao Qi and asked timidly, "Uncle Qi, are you my father?" ”

Zhao Qi looked at Ruru suddenly, seeing her raising her chin and looking at herself expectantly, she didn't know how to answer for a while, and then remembered the Lin Daguan who was killed halfway, let out a long breath, squatted down and hugged Ruru in her arm, "Yes, I'm your father." ”

Ru Ru asked inquiringly, "Why does Qing'e want me to call you uncle?" ”

"Don't tell Qing'e, you still call me uncle in front of her."

"What about L?"

"Now L is called Dad."

"Daddy." She screamed fast and couldn't wait. After calling it, he suddenly hid his little face in Zhao Qi's neck, and tears were hot flowing down his neck, "I knew that you were my father, and Master Xu also said that you were my father." ”

"He's talking." Zhao Qi's nose was sour, but he could only get over it, "I can't call other people's fathers in the future, you know?" A person has only one father, and I am your father. Whoever asks you to call him dad in the future is breaking up the two of us. ”

Ru Ru nodded vigorously, Zhao Qi took out the few l of gambling money left, and bought her a candy man to consolidate the relationship between father and daughter.

In the evening, Qing'e gave him an eviction order, Ru Ru was reluctant to "father", and almost blurted out, asking Zhao Qi to stop him with a look and keep the secret.

"Then I'm leaving, you... If anything good is near. The more Zhao Qi spoke, the softer he became, lowering his eyes and not looking at Qing'e, "You know where to find me, and give me a happy egg to eat." ”

Qing'e rubbed Ruru's head, thinking that she had revealed something Zhao Qi that was not accurate, and there was no need to clarify, so she only smiled, "Where's your happy egg?" If you are almost thirty, don't live in a fixed place, and ask me for a sister-in-law. ”

Bidding farewell to Zhao Qi, Qing'e wiped Ruru's body, told her to go to bed first, boiled hot water and sat on the edge of the bed to wash her feet, Ruru hugged her waist, and told Qing'e a dream during a nap with some noise.

The child's voice was soft and glutinous, Qing'e lay down, hugged her, patted her on the back, and listened to her, her thoughts also drifted.

() She remembered that when she was first pregnant with this child, it was when Zhao Qi and her had the most fierce quarrel. He was bent on "inspiring her"

(4) ()_[()] (4) 『Come[]? See the latest chapter? Complete Chapter'()"

Zhao Qi made a big fuss, and in the end they shared the spoils, fifty taels per person, and parted ways.

In the past five years, Qing'e has lived a more stable life than before, but it is not a good life with smooth sailing, so when she met Qin Xiaolin, she really thought that God was willing to give her a chance, but it turned out that she was just idle and played tricks on her.

Qing'e couldn't find Qin Xiaolin anymore, and she couldn't do anything in the face of Xu Guangde's oppression, so she planned to harvest this year's spring tea and resell it to other tenant farmers in the village at a low price, so she would take Ruru away with the money.

So she got up before dawn the next day, and in order to finish it quickly, she sent Ruru to the house of an old Xiucai in Zhuang, and went up the mountain to pick tea by herself. Lao Xiucai's family is the account room of the tea house, and it is also the only literate family in the village, Qing'e loves to send Ruru to flip through the book on weekdays, and she can always recognize a few words.

The sun was drying at noon, and Qing'e also finished her day's work and went to pick up Ru Ru home, but she learned that Ru Ru had already let the people from the Qin Mansion take her away, and said that it was her instructions. Zhuang Li knew about her relationship with Qin Xiaolin, so there was no defense.

Qing'e only felt that the blood all over her body was rushing to her brain, so she took off the basket in a panic and went down the mountain to the Qin Mansion.

This is also the first time she has returned to the Qin Mansion, but the porter's brother L seems to know her and just waits for her, and invites her into the door with his chest and belly.

"Lady wait, the official is changing clothes."

Qing'e forcibly pressed the heart that was about to pop out, and grabbed the sleeve tube of that brother L, "What about Ruru? Where is Ruru? ”

Brother L smiled all over his face, and couldn't help withdrawing his hand, "The little lady asked her mother-in-law to take her out to play L, I think I haven't played enough, and I don't want to come back." ”

"Ruru won't go with a stranger, what did you say to her?"

"I don't know about this, don't worry, lady, you sit down and wait, the official is coming."

Outside, there was the sound of maids singing in courtesy. Qin Xiaolin had just woken up, wearing only a middle coat, a moon-gray cardigan robe on the outside, and a little sleepy, with narrow Danfeng eyes indifferently, stepping on the clouds as if pacing here.

The moment Qing'e appeared in the field of vision, he straightened his back and walked in with a smile on his face.

After not seeing her for a while, Qin Xiaolin saw her as if nothing had happened, walked towards her, and raised his hand to caress her cheek familiarly, "Why did you clear up a little bit to pick up Ruru?" Look at you're in a hurry, and if you don't know, you think you've let the kidnappers take you away. ”

Qing'e took half a step back, "Where is Ruru?" I'm going to take her home. ”

Qin Xiaolin turned a blind eye to her evasion, and only said, "Sit, why hasn't anyone shown you tea for so long?" ”

The little guy on the side immediately changed his face, and he turned a little pale with fright, Qing'e didn't speak anymore, and only stared at Qin Xiaolin with tears.

Qin Xiaolin sat down casually, waved his hand and asked someone to show Qing'e tea, and smiled, "It's all here, you always have to drink a cup of tea." Ruru has played enough outside, so she will naturally let her mother-in-law send her home and be a mother

() You can't always worry about it. ”

Qing'e didn't pick up the hot tea that came up, more

didn't answer Qin Xiaolin's words, and said earnestly: "Big official, it's me who is wrong, I didn't make it clear to you face to face, I'm sorry." Although taking a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, it is also a lifelong event for me, thinking about it, I can't reach the lintel of the Qin Mansion, and I can't be worthy of you, the big official, I'm just a peasant woman picking tea, and I have a child, and the big official doesn't get tired of me right now——"

"Why do you talk about this all of a sudden?" Qin Xiaolin put down the teacup and interrupted her with a smile, "I don't like you to be arrogant, you might as well be honest with me, you know who I am, why should you be afraid to tell me the truth." ”

Qing'e slowly raised her eyes, thinking that she might not know who he was, she didn't know it before, and now she is even more suspicious.

Without waiting for words to speak, Qin Xiaolin said, "Did you hear some rumors about me from somewhere?" That was all in the early years, I used to be young and vigorous and acting absurdly, and it is understandable that you think I lied to you, and I do hide something from you, and I am afraid that you will alienate me because of my past. ”

Qing'e was stunned, and was not persuaded at all, "Do you know about Xu Guangde's coming to the village to collect my land rental yesterday?" ”

"He rents your land? It's weird, how could Xu Yuanwai smash your job for nothing. Qin Xiaolin looked at her with a smile, "But in the past, you were worried that no one would take care of the tea trees on Zhuangzi Mountain earlier, so there is nothing to worry about now?" ”

He said it all, and it was no different from admitting it to his face.

Qing'e knotted lightly between her eyebrows, and said the truth with difficulty, "It was your idea for Xu Guangde to take away my rented land. ”

Qin Xiaolin smiled and said nothing, Qing'e suddenly felt cold all over her body, and sat down on the comb back chair. Qin Xiaolin liked her very much like her miserable appearance that I saw pity, and the look of begging for mercy made him feel comfortable.

He walked slowly towards her.

"Do you think that between you and me, you are still in charge?" Qin Xiaolin bowed down, stroked Qing'e's face with his knuckles, and smiled, "What are you afraid of, it's not a little girl who has no experience, after so many years, don't you want to?" ”

Qing'e felt that the fingers on her face were like a cold knife, and her body slowly sank into the cold pool, she closed her eyes, and the tears that had accumulated in her eyes were squeezed down her cheeks, but in the blink of an eye, a smile bloomed again, and the pear vortex on her lips was filled with tears.

"I know you're only trying to be happy, not long-lasting. As long as you let me and Ruru go home before the second watch, you can do whatever you want me to do, and I won't resist. She paused, "I'll serve you well." ”

The stunned person became Qin Xiaolin, and asked with a smile: "Why is it the second watch?" ”

"No, Ru Ru has to sleep on the second watch."

Qin Xiaolin looked at the smile on her face, a little disappointed, sneered and got up, said that there were some affairs to deal with, and told her to wait. Qing'e was taken to a room and saw some terrifying "torture instruments", and then she was only asked to wait in that room.

About the first watch, two mothers-in-law came to the house to set the meal, Qin Xiaolin came in with a well-dressed wine and asked Qing'e to serve the wine.

Qing'e obediently did so, but she was inevitably pinched by Qin Xiaolin and poured a few cups, Rao is she drank well, but she was also a little drowsy, and she lay on the desk and let her clothes be peeled off one by one.

When only the cherry red main waist was left on her upper body, Qin Xiaolin pulled her up, wanting to untie her trouser belt, Qing'e's consciousness was chaotic, so she had to reach out and refuse, how did she know that she angered him and pressed her heavily on the table.

Qing'e was really drunk, fell down, and swept off the porcelain

, the porcelain piece shattered in response, and she also fell up softly.

The severe pain spread all over her body in an instant, and beads of sweat appeared on Qing'e's forehead, but she still didn't snort, lying on her side with her arms on the broken porcelain, and she didn't dare to move. Who said that when suffering great pain, Qing'e has more than 20 years of experience from childhood to adulthood, and people can't make a sound when they are in severe pain.

Her vision began to drift, and memories of being chased and beaten all over the street as a teenager also surfaced. She thought it was a marquee, looking forward to a face that could appear in front of her, but all she saw was Qin Xiaolin.

Qin Xiaolin saw that she didn't move, so he thought that she was not hurt, so he stepped forward and pulled her up, "Pretend to be dead." ”

When she pulled it up, she found that the blood on her waist was dripping, which frightened Qin Xiaolin, not to mention that the lustful desire of the idea, even the strength of the wine was also dispelled in an instant.

Qing'e looked down consciously, her face was pale, she didn't cry, she stood stupidly.

"Someone! What about people! Where have all the people gone! Qin Xiaolin shouted and asked his subordinates to pass on the doctor, he was also careful to get along with Qing'e some time ago, not to mention that he had touched her true feelings a few times, and he couldn't bear to see her so self-conscious.

The doctor rushed to light the lamp and boil oil to pick up the broken porcelain on Qing'e's waist, Qing'e bit the futon in unbearable pain, and finally cried.

When the wound was cleaned and bandaged, she was already slumped on the bed without blood, and when she saw that the sky was getting brighter outside the window, she grabbed the mother-in-law who was waiting on the side and asked Ruru's whereabouts.

The mother-in-law was also moved by compassion, and said softly: "Don't worry, the little lady made a fuss in the middle of the night before, and L is already asleep at this time." ”

After hearing this, Qing'e fell asleep with relief, and then woke up and got out of bed to find Ruru, but was stopped by her mother-in-law, saying that this was Qin Xiaolin's order, asking her to stay in bed and recuperate, and she was not allowed to go anywhere.

Three days have passed, and Qing'e can't bear it anymore. She didn't cry or make trouble that night, but it aroused Qin Xiaolin's interest, like finding a toy that couldn't be broken, coming to see her every day, and she had to feed her medicine with her own hands.

Qing'e asked Qin Xiaolin what he wanted, but he smiled slightly, and then changed his mind and had the interest of raising her as an outer room.

Where is she willing, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

There is only one condition, let her take Ruru home to clean up and say goodbye.

In fact, Ruru has been under the same roof with Qing'e for the past few days, but this mansion is too big, and only the people in the courtyard can hear how much noise the two of them make.

Qing'e led the crying red-eyed Ruru away, but she didn't return to the village at all, but went straight to the Qiantang County Ya.

The blue sky and white sun, the mirror hangs high. She beat the drum desperately, and when the county government heard the news, a few officials came out and asked her what she was doing and who she was suing.

Qing'e hugged Ruru tightly, covered her ears, and let her little head be next to herself, her voice trembled, and her words were firm, "Li Qing'e, a folk girl, sued Xu Guangde, a landlord in Qiantang County, and Qin Xiaolin, an official of the Qin Mansion. ”

After hearing Qin Xiaolin's name, several officials glanced at each other, and had some tacit understanding that was all in their words, and seemed to have foreseen the end of this woman, but they still acted according to the rules and reported to the county.

When the county heard this, he reported the county order, and when the county order heard it, he stabilized the black yarn and hurriedly sent someone to spread the word to Qin Xiaolin.

Qin Xiaolin had just sent Qing'e away at that time, and was playing with the soft pillow she had slept on in her room, and was furious when he heard it, and immediately ordered, "Give her away."

I'll bring it! ”

Seeing that the official was cowering and wanted to go back to his life, Qin Xiaolin suddenly stopped the person and changed his mind.

He sneered, put his bipod on the table, and almost muttered to himself, "Okay, if she wants to sue me, let her sue, I want to see what flowers she can turn out, even if she sues Shuntianfu, I can let her call the heavens and the earth unworkable." ”

Ten days later, the spring breeze and warmth under the roots of the imperial city recovered.

In the official residence of the Shuntian Mansion, several adults in red robes are sitting around and tasting tea, and the fragrance of tea in the house is refreshing.

"It is worthy of the pre-rain Longjing transported from Hangzhou overnight, the aroma is long, and it will not be dispersed for a long time." The person who spoke was Zeng Tingguang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, who recommended Hanlin to revise Feng Juncheng to enter the Ministry of Officials after the college examination that year.

The younger man next to him said: "Do you know that the precious tea leaves were cut off by the tea girls with their fingernails, kept close to them, and taken down the mountain by body temperature." ”

"No way, let alone these chasing after the wind."

"I don't believe you ask Shi Qian, he knows everything, you ask him!"

Feng Juncheng tasted the tea soup on the side, was named, raised his eyebrows and looked over, "I don't know, it's not that I pinched my nails and took them down the mountain." ”

"Why are you so disgusting!"

Feng Juncheng smiled and sniffed the fragrance of tea, "I smell this aroma, I really feel a little homesick." In the spring of previous years, I always felt that the smell of Hangzhou Longjing was everywhere at home. ”

A colleague said on the side: "Long live the Lord appointed you to patrol Zhejiang, Shi Qian, you can take this opportunity to go to your home to have a look." ”

He bowed his head, "It's all at the door, it's time to go back." ”

Zeng Tingguang said: "Shi Qian, this time to Zhejiang, in addition to salt, tea two vital taxes to carefully check, there L people's livelihood should also pay more attention, Ying Tianfu and Shuntianfu are separated by half of the country, that area of officials and scholars with a little power in their hands dare to use power for personal gain, squeeze the people's fat and people's ointment, left and right Tiangao Emperor is far away, can not find their heads, you go, I don't know how many people will become a thorn in the eye." ”

"What you're saying is that I'm going to be careful not to give people a word for it."

The person on the side smiled: "I'm afraid that those people will cooperate with you in front of you in every way, and as soon as you come back, they will immediately join you." ”

Another said: "If the governor's temporary appointment is done well, it is a merit, and if it is not done well, it will attract hatred and a bad debt." ”

"You don't have to scare Shi Qian, it's not the wolf's den."

"Thank you for your words, I will be careful in my words and deeds." Seeing that it was not early, Feng Juncheng got up to say goodbye, stood up, tall and handsome, and arched his hand, "Lord Zeng, a few l, I will leave tomorrow, and there are still some instructions that have not been clarified with the subordinate officials, you have tea, I will go first." ”

"Okay, it's better to leave early." Everyone stood up and saw off their colleagues.

Today, everyone is gathered here to practice for Feng Juncheng, he is very popular, he is a loner but very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and he is very good at dealing with people.

I heard that he was also a suave young master in Jiangning earlier, but I don't know why once he came to Shuntian Mansion, he never entered and left the gentle township of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion again, but stayed away from women.

Humane, should he have been bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope?

He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said yes, playfully saying that he only cared about Fengyue back then, and even his fame was tested for women, but unfortunately he was deceived by women, and his heart has died since then.

made everyone laugh and said that he was humorous.!
