Chapter 136: Qu Qingge is back
Today is the 9th of September, and it is the summer heat, and even when it is almost the time for dinner in the afternoon, the sun is shining and the sun is in full bloom.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a large family sitting around the round table, happily gossiping about homely things, and the old lady and grandmother of the Qu family who were sitting on the first seat were particularly happy.
Seeing this, he laughed, strode in the door, and asked in a loud voice, "What is the great joy today, the dinner is so rich?"
The Qu family made a fortune from the end of the year, when there was no money in the family in the past, they lived more frugally, and now the family is rich, although they also eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wear silk and satin, but because of the frugal style for many years, the daily life of the Qu family is not much extravagant and wasteful.
On a normal day, the dishes on the table are enough for everyone to eat, but they will not be wasted, Zhou Liniang's control in this is very fine, she will not starve anyone, and she will not waste too much.
All the delicacies that suddenly appeared on the table today, Qu Qiaoshan would be so surprised, in the Qu family, this is only a scene that can only be seen when there is a big celebration, when a distinguished guest comes, or when the master celebrates his birthday.
Asked like that, in fact, Qu Qiaoshan knew why his family did this at this time of the year, and he had to toss it once a year, and he had long been used to it.
Sure enough, as soon as he asked this, his old son Qu Zhang's family immediately pulled down her old face, looked at him unhappily, and said: "It's a shame that you are still a father, and your daughter's birthday today has been forgotten, which shows that she is not long-hearted." ”
Seeing that everyone in the family looked at them with the eyes of the wicked, even the young and ignorant Qu Qingxian learned from the appearance of adults and raised their eyebrows at him.
Qu Qiaoshan also knew that his joke was a hornet's nest, so he couldn't help but hurriedly laugh and said: "I'm not joking with you! There is a big event in this family that has to be done once a year, how could I forget, no, I deliberately went home early today, isn't it just to celebrate my precious daughter's birthday with you." ”
Speaking of it, it is also a sad tear, thinking that he is a second-class general, who does not respect him when he goes out, how majestic and majestic he is, but his status at home is not as good as that of the girl who rarely stays at home, and it is also a great tragedy to smell sadness and cry when he sees it.
"Even if you still have a little conscience, poor my meow, I don't know when I will see her again, I don't know if she will grow taller, fat, thin, or beautiful. But I miss death, I dream about it, and I don't know if I can see that child again when my life is exhausted. ”
"Good and decent, why are you talking about this?" said Grandpa Qu unhappily.
"You bad old man, don't say that you don't seem to want your granddaughter, who can't sleep at night, so you talk about your granddaughter when she sleeps at night and kicks the quilt? ”
As he spoke, Qu Zhang's began to wipe his tears sadly, and a room full of people thought of that lively and lovely girl, and they also became sad, even Qu Qiaoshan, the battlefield general, thought of the little girl who had only been together for a short time, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears of longing.
The surrounding subordinates and maids all hung their heads, not daring to make a sound, in the Qu family, Qu Qingge was selected to be the eldest lady of the immortal master at a young age is a taboo that cannot be touched, every time the people of the main family mention her, they are bound to cry sadly, but they still insist on preparing a feast for her every year on her birthday to celebrate her birthday, even if the main master is not there, they are also happy to do it.
In the end, it was Zhou Liniang who took the lead in calming down, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, waved her hand to let all the people retreat, and then softly coaxed Qu Zhang's family.
"Mother, don't say these words in the future, Meow'er is such a filial child, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely come back to see you, you! ”
The people in the house were still sad and nostalgic, but someone came outside the house, reporting an unexpected matter to Qu Qiaoshan and asking him to decide.
"General Qiyu, there is a prince outside the house who asks to see you, saying that he is the son of your deceased, and he also sent a token, do you need to take a look?" Qu Song, the chief butler of the Qu family, stood respectfully outside the door and asked for instructions.
"Present it. After Qu Qiaoshan still wondered which old man it was, he brought Qu Song a slightly worn purse with both hands.
This is a white background embroidered yellow duck purse, the yellow duck is a little strange, chubby to look at some cute, it can be seen that this purse has been some years, the original white color has become dark yellow, the bright yellow duck has faded a little, the color is white, the needle and thread on the head are even a little cracked, it seems that people are often held in the palm of the hand to rub and play.
He is a big man who doesn't pay much attention to the details of the purse, looking at this purse for a long time and can't remember which old person's item it is, but when Qu Zhang and Zhou Liniang saw this purse, their faces suddenly changed greatly.
"My meow, my good granddaughter!" Qu Zhang's even excitedly pounced in front of Qu Qiaoshan from the seat, Qu Qiaoshan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his old lady: "My mother, you can take it easy, be careful to flash your old waist." ”
"You're not a filial son, you know how to curse me all day long, give me the purse!" Qu Zhangshi took a sip of Qu Qiaoshan, snatched the purse in his palm, and cherished it in his arms.
"Mother, could this be ......" Seeing that his wife was also excited, but because the old lady was still in front of him, it was not easy to pounce, Qu Qiaoshan also clearly heard the loud roar of Qu Zhang's before, and suddenly his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably with excitement.
"Qu Song!" he hurriedly raised his head and shouted.
"The little ones are in. Qu Song replied respectfully, as smart as him, he had already guessed in the attitude and words of the master that the person who came must have something to do with his eldest lady, and thinking of the identity of his eldest lady's immortal master, his heart suddenly became hot.
"Hurry up and ask that boy in. ”
"Yes. Qu Song immediately turned around and ran, and did not let others run errands, and walked towards the gate under his feet, and must invite the distinguished guests into the house as soon as possible, and resolutely not neglect others.
"This needle and thread, but I sewed it for Meower by hand, you know, your mother's embroidery skills are not good, accidentally embroidered this duck a little fat, but also lost Meow'er does not dislike it, but also likes it very much, wears it on her body every day, and does not let others touch it, for fear that people will rob her. The stupid girl didn't want to think about it, who would rob her of such a worthless thing, just like she was a treasure. ”
Qu Zhang's face at this end with a nostalgic smile of relief, chattering about the old things, Qu Qingge at the other end waited outside the door for a while, and saw a chubby uncle who looked like a housekeeper running out, and when she saw this familiar old man, her eyes lit up.
She still remembered that this person was the chief butler of the Qu family, named Qu Song, who was originally an orphan, who was rescued by Qu Qiaoshan in the war-torn place, and has been following him ever since.
When the Qu family was defeated, it was thanks to the help of this big housekeeper to support the Qu family that she dared to leave her widow and sister-in-law and younger brother and go to the front line to join the army.
"This son, our general is invited, please come with the little one. Qu Song saluted Qu Qingge, Qu Qingge nodded in return, and followed him into this home that had changed a lot.
At this time, the Qu family in the hall had long been looking forward to it, Qu Qingxian was still young, and he didn't quite understand why his family suddenly became so excited and happy, and the older Qu Qingzhen guessed that it was related to his sister, but he was more stable and his emotions were not very exposed.
Soon, Qu Qingge followed Qu Song to the main hall of Qu's house, as soon as she walked in the door, she saw familiar family members sitting around the big round table, the table was full of her favorite dishes, this scene was like the family had learned the news that she was going home in advance, and they were specially prepared to wait for her return.
Although she knew that this was just a coincidence, Qu Qingge couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and her eyes gradually became a little moist, but she was still holding on to the shell of others at this time, and it was inconvenient to blatantly expose her identity in front of outsiders, so she could only hold back her feelings of longing and not show anything on her face.
After hearing Qu Song's report, they saw tokens related to Qu Qingge, but they just thought that this young man was an acquaintance of their daughter, and was entrusted by her to come back to do something.
"I don't know why this little boy came to Qu's house to find me?" Since people named Qu Qiaoshan, he naturally took the lead in asking.
Qu Qingge didn't answer, she just looked sideways at the big housekeeper Qu who was still there, Qu Qiaoshan understood, and waved Qu Song to retreat.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Qu Qingge waved his hand and placed a ban to prevent outsiders from exploring the situation inside.
Then she simply knelt on the ground neatly in the puzzled eyes of everyone in the Qu family, and said loudly: "Unfilial daughter Qu Qingge, I went home today to visit my elders and family, and I ask you to forgive me for the sin of not serving by my side for many years." ”
This time, Qu Qingge did not deliberately control his voice, and the slightly immature delicate and sweet voice came from the mouth of a handsome and extraordinary young man, which was really weird and tight.
At the same time, the Qu family was also shocked by the meaning of Qu Qingge's words, and they couldn't believe it, they couldn't believe that the dream they had been looking forward to day and night had come true!
Qu Qingge is back!
"I ...... My child!" Mother and daughter connected, Zhou Liniang was the first to confirm Qu Qingge's identity, and suddenly didn't care about any manners, and flew directly towards the young girl's daughter on the ground, Qu Qingge stood up neatly, reached out to hug the mother who flew over, and didn't let her get hurt.
Qu Qingge, who looks like a teenager, is slightly shorter than Zhou Liniang, and it is still very easy to catch her.
"Look, our meow has grown so much taller!" At this time, Qu Zhang's family also reacted, and immediately abandoned his own son, quickly got up from in front of Qu Qiaoshan, walked a few steps quickly to the handsome young man, pulled her up and down to check, and couldn't help but muttered distressed things like fat and thin.
"I have something in my boots, but I'm not really that tall. Qu Qingge said with a little embarrassment.
"Hahahaha...... I'll just say, how can you grow so tall like a little man?" The eldest brother of the Qu family immediately laughed without giving face, and his usual steady color was lost, and Qu Qingge glared angrily at his eldest brother.
Seeing that the brother and sister made trouble again as soon as they met, while feeling relieved that they had a good relationship, Zhou Liniang was also a little helpless, she had to scold her eldest son a few words, and then pulled her daughter to sit down at the table.
"You came back just in time, today is your birthday, the house has always set a table for you to celebrate on this day, I never thought that today just in time for you to come back, this dish is still hot, hurry up and eat, you have been on the road for a few days? ”。
Qu Zhang's was satisfied with Qu Qingge, and vigorously served her vegetables, beckoning her to eat more.
Since I knew that Qu Qingge's height was fake, I didn't know what Grandma Qu had made up in her brain, and she thought that Qu Qingge's real height might be a little hurtful, and she didn't mention this stubble, just thinking that she would eat more to make up for it, anyway, the child is still young, eat more, and she can grow longer.
