suspected wife

On a hot day, the heat wave rolled.Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and it also rolls up waves of heat.

On this day, even if I stayed in a shaded place, I was still sweating.

At this time, Guanshi Zhao had a bitter expression on his face, and he was jogging towards the study in the outer courtyard with his stomach full.While running, I took a handkerchief and wiped two handfuls on my forehead from time to time.

hot.In this day, if a lot of copper is given, no one is necessarily willing to accept an errand.

Seeing him trotting all the way, the servants and maids in the courtyard all paid attention to him.I don't know what happened, but the usually calm chief executive ran like a cow.

As Guanshi Zhao was trotting, he took a pair of memory cards and swept them towards the servants.Those people were so shocked that they all lowered their heads and refused to look directly at him.They were all busy with their work.

This is the number one steward and the number one confidant around Grandpa.If you offend Manager Zhao, it's not as simple as beating a board. Maybe you are still chatting with people in the house today, and tomorrow you will be assigned to the mine in the north to do coolies.

The door of the study room was quiet, and the two young men who were guarding the door were probably hiding somewhere to cool off.

Manager Zhao paused at the door.

"Master Liu, it's the little one...the little one has something to report..."

After Zhao Guanshi finished speaking, he listened carefully.

After a while, a deep voice came from the door: "Come in."

Manager Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead again, then stretched his collar, dusted the hem of his clothes, gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

The door was only opened a crack, and a burst of cool and refreshing air rushed in.Limbs and bones.Feel comfortable all over the body.

It's so fucking comfortable.

How many ice trays are there for this?Staying in such a room, who would want to be troubled outside.

At this moment, Zhou Yanqing was sitting behind the desk and looking through the ledger, when she saw Guanshi Zhao coming in, she didn't lift her head, she just glanced at him with her eyelids lifted.

Then Manager Zhao was enjoying the cool air in the room, and he wished he could take off the shackles on his body.

He made up his mind, even if Liu Ye chased him away, he would stay in this room until the next afternoon before going out.

Seeing Liu Ye glanced at him, he hurriedly regained his composure.He walked to the case in two or three steps, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.

"Master, someone from Qingchuan is here, bringing a letter from the old lady."

Zhou Yanqing read the letter stretched out in front of him, perhaps because of the hot weather, he held the letter in his arms.They are a little damp and soft, not so strong.

"Leave it alone. Where's the person?"

Seeing that his master was not in a hurry to read the letter, Manager Zhao sighed. After putting the letter away, he stood aside with his hands down, and replied, "Everyone has been settled. The shopkeeper from Qingchuan has arranged for them to eat." Meal. I led it to the cabinet. Those who came from home, please go to the guest room to rest..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhou Yanqing.Then he said cautiously: "This time, Mrs. Six's accompanying room also came, and passed on a message from Mrs. Six, saying... that Young Master Thirteen suffered from the heat a few days ago and became seriously ill. I'm thinking about you, see if you can take some time to go back..."

Manager Zhao finished speaking cautiously.He glanced at his master quickly, then lowered his head hurriedly.

His original name was Stone.It was originally Liu Ye's personal servant.After Liu Ye got married, he followed Liu Ye to the southwest.

Ten years have passed, and now he also has a family in the southwest and has given birth to several children.Later, others gave him a beautiful concubine, and the concubine gave him another daughter.The family is harmonious.Now Liu Ye has promoted him to be a steward. Apart from his status, his current life is no different from that of ordinary wealthy households outside.

And the sixth wife he was talking about was the concubine of the servant of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing.That year, he followed Master Liu back from the capital and lived in Qingchuan all the time. Later, the two got married, and the Yan family gave birth to the Thirteenth Young Master to Master Liu.

The thirteenth young master looks very similar to the sixth master, and has a great admiration for the sixth master, but the sixth master has not returned to Qingchuan for two years...

Guanshi Zhao felt distressed when he thought that his sixth master had been alone in the southwest all these years, and there was no one around him who knew the cold and the hot.As a personal servant, he couldn't be more clear about what happened back then...

If that person became the sixth wife, maybe the sixth master would not have such a stern face all day long.Liu Ye laughed so happily back then... But now he hasn't heard Liu Ye laugh for a long time.

Zhao Shitou couldn't help sighing again after thinking about it.

Over the years, Liu Ye often quietly inquired about that person, knowing that she was doing well, he was both happy and sad.It made him feel even more distressed.His sixth master shouldn't have lived like this.

This time he must persuade Liu Ye to return to Qingchuan.

And Zhou Yanqing, who was sitting behind the desk, sighed silently after listening to Zhao Guanshi, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

After a long time, Manager Zhao heard Liu Ye say: "I see. You go down first. Make sure everyone is settled, go to the counter to find some shopkeepers, and prepare all the goods that Qingchuan wants."

"Yes."

When Guanshi Zhao heard that his master had no other orders, he glanced regretfully at the ice basins in several corners of the room, and went out again with a bitter expression on his face.

Looking at the tents stacked high on the table, Zhou Yanqing's scalp became tense.

If it was before, where would he need to worry about these things?

I'm afraid that woman has sorted it out long ago, and it's clear at a glance, and the accounts are clear, so he doesn't need to bother at all.

Even though ten years had passed, every time he thought of that person, his heart still ached.

After returning from Yizhou that year, he locked himself in the yard and spent several months in a decadent state... After he came out, he married Yan's according to his mother.

After Yan became pregnant, he went to the southwest alone.Leaving Yan Shi by his mother's side...

That winter, Yan gave birth to a son for him.He named him Zhou Wenqing.

When the child was one year old, he returned to Qingchuan.

The kid looked a lot like him.Raised very well by his mother and Yan, he is smart, lively and cute, very lovable.

He stayed at home for half a year, and when the child could call him father, he returned to the Southwest.

At that time, my mother said that there were already several sister-in-laws in the family who were filial to her, and there were many girls and women in the house, so she asked him to take Yan's mother and son to the southwest.At that time, Yan Shi also looked at him with tearful eyes, hoping that he would soften his heart.And the son in his arms grabbed his hanging hair and screamed happily, hugging his neck and not letting go...

In the end, he left alone.

Southwest is the property left to him by his father, and he cannot let it go to waste.He said so to himself.

Every New Year's Eve, he would ask Guanshi Zhao to pack several carts with local products and various gifts from the Southwest, and send them back to Qingchuan.He personally picked out his son's presents and sent them box after box.Never did anyone a favor.

He always goes back every year before the Chinese New Year.Occasionally, it is only a year apart.I will also live at home for two or three months before returning.And this time he didn't go back for two years.

He was alone in the Southwest, and his mother and Yan would always write to him frequently.

After he receives it, he will write back to his mother.In the letter, he urged his mother to treat them kindly.

It's just that I never sent a half-envelope to Yan's.Not even oral messages.

Later, gradually Yan's letters came less and less.

Mothers always write about sons in their letters.I have grown taller again, I can speak fluently, I can recite poems, I invited a teacher to be enlightened, and I was sent to an academy... and so on.

Mother always tried to impress him with letters, hoping that he could go back to Chenghuan and be reunited with his wife and children.

The mother's letter also contained occasional flattery. If it wasn't for her insistence, maybe he would have married that person long ago, surrounded by a beautiful wife and beautiful children, and lived happily in Qingchuan... instead of leaving his hometown alone for ten years and clinging to it. in the southwest...

He hadn't thought of her for a long time.

It hurts every time I think about it.

A pair of bluegrass hangs on the walls of the study and bedroom.Growing on a cliff, peerless and independent.

Sometimes he can stare at it for a long time without making a sound, neither eating nor drinking.

That person is his deepest regret, the deepest imprint hidden in his heart.If there is an afterlife, he must meet her early.

Zhou Yanqing turned her head to look at the bluegrass on the wall, as if she saw the man's eyes as clear as water... The corners of his mouth turned up, as he did when he faced that man countless times.

He picked up the letter on the table and opened it...

In the letter, my mother kept her usual tone, asking long and short questions, and also talked about some big and small things in the family, every detail, even the third brother's son Zhou Wenxuan told him about the girls he had met.

In the letter, it was inevitable to talk about Yan's... how thoughtful and considerate she was, and how filial she was to her mother-in-law.And how to raise his only son.

Wen Qing had already passed the childbirth test, and the whole family couldn't help but be overjoyed.The mother also invited all the close clan members to the house for a feast.Hugging her precious grandson and boasting.It's just that she suffered from the heat last month and fell ill. She lay on the bed and called her father, which made her feel bad...

In the letter, the mother would always carefully flatter him, saying that she was old enough to let him go back to Qingchuan.Said that the son has not seen his father for two years.If he doesn't go back this year, she will decide to send Yan's mother and son to the southwest...

Zhou Yanqing closed the letter, leaned back in the chair, and closed her eyes.

Why doesn't he like his wife and children by his side?

If it was that person, he would definitely not leave her alone.He doesn't care about any shop or property, he just wants to travel hand in hand with that person and see all the famous mountains and rivers.

He is also a normal man, and he also has desires.Just not that person.Now in the house in the southwest, there are two aunts in the backyard, both of whom were sent by others in the southwest.

He also provided them with good food and drink.A separate yard was chosen for each of them.Occasionally, I will go to their room to rest for a night.It's just that most of them stayed in his yard, or just rested in the study.

Even if she has snow skin and jade skin, she is panting and moaning, but she is not that person...

In the next life, he must have opened his eyes wide and recognized that person early.Don't let go. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
