suspected wife

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, when the mansion came to give gifts, Qiao Mingjin's expression was the same as usual. To her, this was just a common thing.

But for Yue Zhongyao, this is really an unpleasant thing.

Why should others worry about his wife and daughter? Why should his wife and daughter be taken care of by others?

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yue Zhongyao did not return to Qiao Mingjin's place.

Qiao Mingjin didn't think it was strange either, she didn't think about anything else, she just thought that Wu Shi had some trouble again.

It was Wan'er who wanted to go to the village to find her father, but she didn't dare, she was afraid of her grandma.

The little thing had to wander several times on the way to the village at the gate, walking up and down at the gate of the courtyard.It wasn't until the night wind became cold that Qiao Mingjin forcibly carried her back to the room.

The next day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

There are nowhere to see lanterns in the countryside, so naturally I eat and drink at home as usual, eat some roasted seeds and nuts in the charcoal basin, and chat a little about homework.

Qiao Mingjin went to sit with a few acquaintances in the village that day.Under Su's kindness, lunch was also eaten at her home.

I didn't return home until it was time to cook dinner in the afternoon.

When the mother and daughter returned home, Yue Zhongyao was already at home.

"father!"

Wan'er jumped on it happily.

Putting his arms around Yue Zhongyao's neck, he asked Yue Zhongyao where he went last night.Why not come home and live.

Holding his daughter in his arms, Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin, expecting his wife to ask about his whereabouts and show her concern like her daughter did.

It's just that Qiao Mingjin only glanced at him, then turned around and went to do other things.

Yue Zhongyao finally calmed down.Once again, it was like being cut by someone cruelly.

Yue Zhongyao closed his eyes in pain.It seemed that he hadn't slept all night, but after a day's sleep today, his eyes were still very dry.

Yue Zhongyao did not go back to Yue's house on the Lantern Festival, but stayed to help Qiao Mingjin prepare dinner.The family of three ate quietly, and then Yue Zhongyao carried his daughter to the wing to play with her.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Qiao Mingjin's family passed by like that.

But in Qingchuan City, the atmosphere is much more lively.

Qingchuan City is neither big nor small, since the first lunar month, red silk has been hung on all the street fronts, and red lanterns have been erected high in front of each shop.

On the night of the Lantern Festival.In Qingchuan City, the moon is full and the lights are bright, and the flow of people is like weaving.

Zhou Yanqing looked like he was not full, surrounded by several cousins, and walked forward unconsciously.

The front and back servants cleared the way, a group of ten or twenty people.Walking mightily on the busiest street market in Qingchuan.

Several cousins ​​are all dressed up beautifully, brocade clothes, scented dresses, following the small steps, leaving a fragrance all the way.

Zhou Yanqing was surrounded by various scents, whether it was hair oil, purse, or something else.He endured it impatiently.

The life of the mother is in the body, and there is no patience.After dinner, I accompanied a few cousins ​​who are everywhere to go shopping in the flower street to watch the lanterns.

He only seemed a little impatient, and as soon as he strayed a little, a certain cousin with sharp eyes and quick hands dragged him back.

"Cousin, where are you going? I heard that the lanterns in the Lin's shop are doing better than in previous years. Let's go and have a look?"

Wu Jiao, the concubine's younger sister of the Zhou family, held Zhou Yanqing's arm and said sweetly.

Lin Biyu, who was next to her, couldn't see Wu Jiao's sloppy appearance clinging to her cousin's body, so she pushed past her, and skillfully pushed Wu Jiao away with her arms: "Sister Wu, this is a public event. You will make people laugh at you like this. Don't let people say that your prefect's family has no tutors."

After speaking, he covered his mouth with a champagne and laughed.

Wu Jiao clenched her teeth in anger, wanting to say something.And afraid of ruining her image in Cousin Zhou's heart.

She's just the daughter of a merchant, how dare she look down on her!

Walked a few steps to the other side of Zhou Yanqing, took Zhou Yanqing's other arm, smiled like a flower, and said sweetly to Zhou Yanqing: "Cousin, you eat very little for dinner, you may be hungry Right? How about we go to the tea shop in front and have some tea and fruit snacks, and then we can continue shopping? Anyway, it’s still early, and the lanterns won’t be displayed until tomorrow morning.”

"Yes, cousin, my feet are sore from walking, let's all drink tea and take a rest? Find a private room by the window and you can see the market."

The two women scrambled to perform in front of Zhou Yanqing.

Liniang silently followed behind a few people, quietly as if they didn't exist.

Two idiots, are you the kind of person who will soften your heart if you pester him?It's just getting more and more annoying.

Wu Jiao, Wu Jiao, your concubine sister has already married in, why do you think the old lady will let both of her sons marry your Wu family daughter?

Lin Biyu, because you are the niece of the old lady's natal family, the old lady pays more attention to you.It's just that the eldest son of the old lady has married a lady from the official family. Will the youngest and most beloved son let him marry a merchant's daughter?

Liniang lowered her head and sneered from behind.

Although I don't know what kind of grandma Grandpa will marry back in the end, she has been by Grandpa's side all these years, and because Master Zhou from Beijing gave her to Grandpa, Grandpa treats her very differently.

Although I haven't been in her room for a long time, I still have her in my heart just because I am willing to take her out to watch the lanterns today.

Now she is still the only aunt by my grandfather's side. As long as she listens to my grandfather's words, my grandfather will never forget her.

As long as grandma marries in and Grandpa stops her medicine, she will be able to give Grandpa a son and a half and stay by Grandpa's side all the time.

These years, she stayed quietly by Grandpa's side, and Grandpa occasionally said that she was sensible and obedient.That man has already occupied all of her heart.

She knew me well, and I didn't care about these women.

Liniang followed behind them quietly, and she would do whatever those women asked her to do, even if she was wronged a bit.Didn't Master Cai cast an apologetic look just now?

Liniang raised the corners of her mouth happily.

A group of people happened to walk in front of a gorgeously decorated tea shop. Today, there are a lot of people on the street, and the tea shop is also full.

"Master, there is no private room anymore. There is only a nave on the second floor." On the cold Lantern Festival night, Shitou was sweating all over his face.

Before Zhou Yanqing could speak, Lin Biyu yelled, "Why is there no more? Don't you have the name of Brother Report?"

Shi Shi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and replied humbly: "I reported it, but the shopkeeper said that the private room was booked early. It has not been booked for several times just now."

After Shitou finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. It was the Lantern Festival, so it was fine if he had no time to spare, and he wanted to come and serve these ancestors.

How could his father not be able to book a private room?His father had booked a private room in the best tea shop early on to drink tea with a few friends.We talked at night by candlelight.

How do you know that these ancestors would run back instead of celebrating the Lantern Festival at home?

Shi Shi glanced at his master and son with great resentment.

Seeing Zhou Yanqing, she gritted her teeth at him and raised her fist.Brat, didn't you see that your master and I were also suffering?

A group of people were about to walk away when a few young men in rich and noble clothes walked towards the tea shop with their shoulders crossed.

"Yoyo, look. Who is this? I said, why did you reject the appointment of several of us today. It turns out that I want to accompany the beauties."

"Hey, isn't it Mr. Saturday? He made an appointment with us early, and then he was pushed. We still treat him as Mr. Six. You have imminent things to do. Yo ho, it turns out that you want to accompany the beauty."

Another young man also came over and looked around Zhou Yanqing, tsk-tsk said: "Who doesn't have a beautiful woman to accompany? You are special!"

Another person next to him joked: "Go and go. Your family has a beautiful wife and concubine, a son and a daughter. Our sixth master is still single. It's just like you."

Several people laughed while talking, and kept looking at the women around Zhou Yanqing.

Wu Jiao, Lin Biyu and the others all lowered their heads in shame.

There was some surprise on his face.

Cousin is fancying himself.I deliberately pushed a friend's appointment to accompany me to see the lanterns.

The beauty of these women was almost bubbling.

Zhou Yanqing took a leisurely glance at these friends: "Grind your teeth there if you have time, why don't you invite me to have a drink and wait here for the world to drop gold?"

The young man who was the first to speak said: "We choose the place, and the money is naturally your Saturday Lord. How dare we call rich people in front of the rich Saturday Lord, don't you think so?"

A bunch of people booed hurriedly after hearing this.

Zhou Yanqing punched him, and several people walked away with their shoulders crossed.

Wu Jiao followed closely for two steps.She yelled softly, "Cousin!"

Zhou Yanqing didn't look back, but waved her hands backwards.

Stone glanced at the few women who were stunned in place.He curled his lips, and ordered a few words to the attendants and servants who followed behind him, and then trotted after his master.

Only a group of women stomped their feet angrily.

Wu Jiao and Lin Biyu looked at each other, then turned their heads away with a hum.

"Go home!"

The two of them took their girls and servants back to Zhou Mansion.

The place was covered by the bustling flow of people again, as if the group of people had never appeared before.

And in front of a lantern stall diagonally opposite the tea shop, Liu Meiniang happened to see this scene.

She had recognized Zhou Yanqing and Master Saturday.

When she was in Xiahe Village, she met Zhou Yanqing several times and even talked to him.

Grandpa Saturday is really a kind person.Just now, even though his face was impatient, he also spoke patiently to the young ladies who pestered him like that, dragged him and held him on the street, and he was not angry at all.Still smiling.

He has such a nice smile.

She was thinking of going up to say hello, but she didn't expect a group of rich men to come and drag him away.

There is a son of the county magistrate in it.She went to the embroidery factory with her mother to get a job, and saw him leading her mother to go shopping.

Lord Saturday knows so many people, even the magistrate's family is on good terms with him.

That group of people wore golden hoops of jade hairpins on their heads, jade belts around their waists, and all kinds of jade pendants.Very rich.

That jade pendant is enough for their family to eat for many years.

She also had several dreams at night. In each dream, it was her father who made great contributions on the battlefield, was promoted to general, and returned home...

She became a young lady of the official family, sitting at the dressing table picking out the jewelry to be worn that day.

Should I wear the gold hairpin inlaid with rubies and jade, or the pearl headdress the size of a longan?

She was dressed in brocade clothes, sitting in a magnificent home, summoning her servants, hearing that some grown-up family sent someone to say a kiss again, but her mother didn't respond, saying that she wanted to see again...

Liu Meiniang looked at those young nobles crossing their shoulders and going away, her eyes flashed... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest power.)

ps: ps: It's the end of the year, and everything is busy.Feel sorry.I don't know if it was Xiaonian yesterday or today, the firecrackers outside have been ringing intermittently since Yemu came down.Have you bought all the tickets to go home?Whoa, that's an unpleasant subject...
