Returning to the inner courtyard, the main room was lit up with soft lights, and in such a cold and rainy night, there was a warm expectation invisibly.

Ye Qingtu found that he was a little hesitant, and his hand stopped on the door: "So this is the feeling of being close to home?"

A familiar delicate figure fell on the paper window, the sound of the oil fire beeping, the shadow fluttered twice, as if cutting the wick, and sat back again, faintly holding a scroll, it turned out to be reading a book.

"It's okay to get a glass lamp, it's not good for your eyes to use an oil lamp......" stood quietly in the dark for a while, felt the feeling, thought like this, and pushed the door open.

Qianqian looked back under the lamp, full of joy: "Are you back?"

"It's back. Ye Qing took off his robe, put it in her hand casually, and said, "The patriarch has something to do, and he talks to many people. ”

"Didn't you keep it for the banquet?" asked Qianqian, not smelling the wine.

"It's getting late, I miss you, who dares to invite a banquet without interest?" Ye Qingtian said shamelessly.

"Nonsense" Qianqian smiled and sneered, her face was red, and she quickly changed the topic: "Although there is a carport, but the clothes are damp, go take a bath, I have already ordered hot water." ”

Ye Qing went in, the inner room was steaming, and there was a familiar medicinal fragrance, which was originally a medicinal soup that had been prepared.

Qianqian poured some boiling water into the bath bucket, reached out to test the temperature of the water, and said with a smile on her face: "Ling Ling told me that this is the recipe, you can try it yourself while it's hot." ”

She bit the word "herself" clearly, showing that Zhou Ling had honestly reported the truth about her son's experimental medicinal bath.

Ye Qing was cheeky, pretending not to hear it, jumped into the bathtub, and when she saw that she was going to get new clothes, she stopped: "Don't go, accompany me." ”

Qianqian stayed, naturally helping to wash her hair, the innocent body only does not accumulate dirt, but it can't prevent the hair from getting dirty, at this time both men and women have long hair, Ye Qing was shaved short in his previous life, and now he is often worried about this shampoo.

Qianqian heard him complain a few times, puzzled and funny, they all helped to wash, after washing their hair, Ye Qing didn't get up, the medicinal soup had to be soaked while it was hot, and there were still people boiling water outside.

Qianqian moved a small stool and sat beside her, helping to wipe her back, and chatting about something.

Ye Qing asked, Qianqian talked about herself, but life in the courtyard is very simple, reading books, writing snacks at night, and then cultivating.

Speaking of cultivation, Ye Qing noticed Qianqian, and at this time, he took the spirit rhino to look back at the eyes of the Great Yan Divine Technique, but at a glance he saw the true yuan flowing in her body.

This is a faint and pure true element, and even with the current gaze, it is very pure.

At the moment, he casually asked, "Does Qianqian practice every day?"

"You say it's Tuna, Qianqian cultivates every day, and after cultivating, she rarely has nightmares. Qianqian replied.

Ye Qing thought for a while, and said something about the patriarch he had just seen, and couldn't help sneering: "Sometimes I really feel that this world is a little ridiculous, and I am not satisfied with doing so many things for the clan." ”

"I'd rather know what right and wrong are requested, but once I don't agree, I'm cold-hearted, and I now understand what hypocrites are rampant. ”

"What should I do then?" Qianqian panicked.

"Don't be afraid, the patriarch has compromised, what is really in case, I don't want anything in my clan, as long as I can take Qianqian away, I will not be nostalgic at all. ”

Hearing this, Qianqian's head was a little "buzzing", and she wanted to suppress it, but she couldn't help but be full of joy, most of the words below were Ye Qing talking, she was listening, occasionally asking, more just looking at Ye Qing, helping to wipe her back, a little smile bloomed on her face.

When the water temperature dropped and the steam decreased, Ye Qing finally noticed something strange: "Are you listening?"

"Ah......" Qianqian woke up and tried to remember: "It should be ......"

Ye Qing was speechless and said, "I have written a lot of letters to my family, and there are six of them for you, and they have all arrived?"

"Yes" Qianqian got up and ran out, moved a small mahogany box back, opened the lock, and took out six letters like a treasure: "I received them all, the last one was received a few days ago, and the most annoying one was the fourth, which was sent very early, but it didn't arrive until the fifth one was received, and I couldn't ask them why, it's really annoying......"

Thinking of this, she still couldn't hide her indignation, and she waited anxiously for two months

Ye Qing smiled, glanced at the thin letter paper, glanced at the small mahogany box, there were not a few pieces of jewelry, they were all small objects that she bought and gave to her.

The oldest is a small straw bracelet, I saw that she had brought it for a while, and then it disappeared, I didn't want to let her hide it, but this was a long time ago.

Ye Qing touched it, her eyes were a little trance, Qianqian seemed to feel something, silently hid the letter back, and asked carefully, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Qing thought about it, and was about to shake his head, Qianqian held his hand and looked at him quietly, her little hands were soft, her eyes were serious, Ye Qing remembered that the stubbornness of the girl in front of her who was stubbornly guarding this family had never been stronger than her appearance and name.

"There's one thing—marriage," Ye Qing looked into her eyes.

Qianqian was stunned, lowered her head, couldn't see clearly under the light, and just muttered, "It's a marriage...... Is it the lord of the royal palace, or the daughter of the prime minister's family?"

Qianqian reads more and more, and knows more about the Tao, which of those legends of the two lists of Jinshi is not climbing high?

"No, they're too tall. ”

"That's the minister, the daughter of the state family?"

"Neither is it"

"That's the daughter of the county official?"

"It's not" Ye Qing smiled and shook her hand: "No, I'm an ordinary person, I don't deserve such a high door." ”

"Childe is talking nonsense again, you are a jinshi, how can you not be worthy?" Qianqian sneered, and was about to say something, when she suddenly understood a little and looked at him in a daze.

"It's scheduled to be the Cao family, my cousin Cao Baijing"

In the previous life, he struggled like an ant, and his impression of his mother clan was no longer clear, but Cao Baijing avoided the Ye Mansion and survived, at least until the destruction of the Ye Family Villa.

Cao Baijing and Ye Qing are not without feelings, and more importantly, Cao Baijing is a kind of really wise and intelligent, and her heart is relatively broad, maybe only she can be suitable for this position.

Qianqian felt that she should be angry, but in his eyes, she couldn't resist her thoughts, and she sighed: "Son, you really ...... It doesn't have to be this way. ”

Ye Qing smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "You're not jealous?"

Qianqian frowned: "If you want to say that you are not jealous, it is fake, I am also a woman...... Even in the beginning, I was actually very jealous. ”

"I've been since I was a kid...... Well, when I was about three or four years old, I became my son's maid, and I have been with it for too long, and I am used to it, so I want to go on like this. Qianqian said in a daze.

"But people always have to grow up, the son is born in the middle of the child, the middle is talented, the middle is lifted, and the middle is the jinshi...... Not to mention that more and more women like it, the people in the clan are happy as the New Year, and they are becoming more and more polite to me, but I am always a little melancholy......"

"Zi Nan, Bai Jing...... Or for the women of the two families, the son is a towering tree...... But Qianqian still remembers that when the son was cold, the house at home was broken, it was raining and leaking, and the clan was busy with spring plowing and couldn't draw manpower, so we climbed up to make up for it ourselves. ”

Ye Qing smiled: "At that time, you said that you were older than me, you were a sister, and you wanted to come to life first, so I held on to the ladder below, and I cried when I saw you nervous on it, which made me very nervous." ”

This is a deliberate joke, but Qianqian's eyes are in a trance, staring at the lights in a daze, as if she has returned to the past.

Ye Qing's heart moved, and she gave birth to some enlightenment, or for this girl, the hardships and bitterness of the poor days in the past have faded away with time, and it has become the most mellow and beautiful wine in her memory.

"Childe, do you remember" Qianqian came back to her senses, a little shy, and smiled a little happily: "Although I'm a little afraid of heights, I'm still good at it, and it doesn't leak rain."

"I know that Qianqian is very capable and brave. Ye Qing said that after his father passed away, the hundred acres of land were collected by the clan in the name of "escrow", and there was still some grain and rice, but there were many things in life, not a few bags of rice could be sent over.

Thinking of back then, Qianqian, who was still a young child, how did she support this family?

Qianqian shook her head: "Qianqian can't be Yu, and she is very timid, but I like Childe's words the most - everyone must work hard for their own home." ”

Ye Qing was in a trance, but he was not surprised by this.

In the past and present lives, there are countless people, there are always some people, ordinary and ordinary, and they work so silently, they don't feel it, but this is really a very precious wealth of life......

When many people become wealthy, they forget the beginning, in fact, they forget the past.

Qianqian was unconscious, and said what was in her heart: "Childe, don't think about Qianqian very well...... Qianqian worked so hard at that time for herself, and I didn't have anywhere to go."

"Is it true?"

"It's true," Qianqian bowed her head.

Ye Qing was silent for a long time, thinking to himself: "But I didn't have a place to go at that time."

"I mean really" Qianqian raised her head violently again, and her voice became louder: "And I still dream in my heart that Childe will marvel at me one day"

Ye Qing has lived two lives, and he has never heard Qianqian still have this wish: "What are you amazed at?"

"I don't know what to ......do," Qianqian blushed: "Childe is like a towering tree, Qianqian is like a small grass, how can it not catch up, what does the big tree need to do with the grass?"

Her voice lowered: "But I always feel that one day, Childe will be amazed by me—every time I have this dream, I will laugh happily in my dream." ”

Ye Qing was silent for a long time, did not say a word, the room was quiet for a while, only listened to the soft breathing, for a long time, suddenly said: "The water is cold"

Qianqian was startled and hurriedly got up: "I'll help you get your clothes."

"Slow" Ye Qing said, Qianqian turned around in surprise, but saw him full of solemnity, and said, "I'll teach you the Tao tomorrow." ”

"Good. ”

Listening to her answer without thinking, Ye Qing just smiled faintly, just looking at how quickly she agreed, she knew that she still didn't understand the essence of it.

Whether it's marriage or pampering, even if it's Cao Baijing, when she reaches this position, I'm afraid there are a lot of possibilities, and it is still difficult to tolerate her, and the only thing that can really protect her is the Tao.
