peasant young lady

Chapter 341

Seeing Dahua's face change, Cheng Xia suddenly changed the subject, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, you can handle your own affairs well, I trust you."

Dahua's face softened, and she smiled lightly, "What's the matter with my little sister coming to see me?"

Cheng Xia nodded, "Since you didn't go out today, you must not be aware that Xiaolong won the first prize and Cheng You was named a general. I want to take them back to Qingxian Village to pay respects to Lin Xiu and his mother's graves. some."

Dahua originally wanted to hit her when Cheng Xia deliberately said 'I didn't go out today', but when she heard the latter, her face immediately became happy, "Really, Xiaolong and Xiaodi are so promising."

"So, do you want to go back and have a look?" Cheng Xia tilted her head and asked Da Hua for her opinion.

Dahua suddenly fell silent, pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head, "Forget it, Qingxian Village doesn't have much to cherish for me, so I don't mind going."

Cheng Xia understood, "Okay, then I'll take the two of them back to have a look, and when I come back, I'll bring you some specialties from home, at least try something you haven't tasted in more than ten years."

Coming out of Zuihonglou, on the way back, Cheng Xia went to Lanyi Pavilion to pick out some nice clothes, intending to take them back and burn them for Mrs. Zhang and Lin Xiu.

Early the next morning, Cheng Xia dawdled in his room to bid farewell to Shao Chen. Shao Chen wanted to go back with her. As things went from bad to worse, Shao Chen was not allowed to go home to the province at all, and in the end Shao Chen had no choice but to give up.

After all, belonging to the imperial court is beyond one's control.

Cheng Xia didn't intend to let Shao Chen follow, Xiaolong and Cheng You would feel uncomfortable along the way if he asked him to follow, the three of them would just go sightseeing when they went back.Let Shao Chen watch over Shao Cheng at home, Lihua and Dahua can't control this little ancestor at all, if he says a few nice words, the two of them feel the same pain as their hearts.

When he arrived at the gate, he happened to meet Du Zhong who was about to enter. Seeing this posture, Du Zhong was stunned, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Xia carefully looked at Du Zhong, up, down, left, right, right, right, left, right, right, left, and right. Du Zhong, who was looking directly at him, was hairy all over and shivering uncontrollably, "Why is this, sister-in-law, I thought winter was coming. , it’s scary.”

Cheng Xia glanced at him angrily, "I don't think you are afraid of jumping from such a high window, but I can scare you just by looking at you twice? Why do I not believe it?"

Shao Chen didn't know why, "What?"

"It's nothing, nothing." Du Zhong was taken aback, stepped forward to cover Shao Chen's mouth, and quickly smiled at Cheng Xia, "I'll just say, what can escape your eyes for a person like my sister-in-law , my younger brother is willing to bow down, and I hope my sister-in-law will be merciful."

"Tch," Cheng Xia snorted coldly, "I brought my son like that just because of you. It's no wonder I can be merciful. I'll teach you a lesson when I come back from Qingxian Village."

Seeing that Xiaolong and Cheng You got into the carriage, Cheng Xia quickly jumped on it, greeted Shao Chen, let the coachman drive, and left far away.

Cheng Xia couldn't bear to part with Shao Chen, so she turned her head and went into the carriage, but when she turned her head and saw Shao Cheng smiling brightly, she immediately became angry, "What are you doing here, didn't you tell you to study hard, you You want your master to come to your house again, right?"

"Mother, my uncle said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, so I decided to go back to my hometown with you." Shao Cheng said seriously.

Cheng Xia was so angry that her liver hurt, she suddenly opened the car and shouted at Shao Chen who was getting further and further away, "Bring your son home!"

Shao Chen waved his hands again and again, and hurriedly called back, "Take it with you, I don't care to look at him."

"Mother," Shao Cheng licked his face and moved closer to Cheng Xia, "Did you hear that my father said he didn't want to see me either, so you can take me in."

Cheng Xia glared at Shao Chen bitterly, slammed the carriage shut, turned her head and looked at Shao Cheng who was still smiling, "You're ashamed to say that no one wants you."

"My uncle said, this child whose father doesn't love his mother and doesn't love him grows stronger and healthier," Shao Cheng said, patting his chest, "Look at me, I grow up very well."

"Your uncle, your uncle, talk about your uncle all day long, you can go with him." Cheng Xia got angry when he saw his proud face when he mentioned Eucommia.

"Hey," Shao Cheng sighed very seriously, "I also thought about it, and went to have fun with my uncle, but my uncle said that he was so poor that he had to find a rich man to be with him, so he Can't leave the capital. Mother," Shao Cheng said with a gossip-like face, "Who did my uncle fall for?"

"No one is serious!" Cheng Xia slapped him on the head, resolutely refusing to admit that he inherited his gossip attribute, "If you dare to learn from him, your mother, I will definitely chase after you with a knife run."

Shao Cheng couldn't help shivering, moved a little further away from Cheng Xia, and tried to hide behind Cheng You, "Uncle, was my mother always so cruel before she got married?" Then why did his father fall in love with his mother?

Cheng You twitched the corners of his mouth. Every time he saw his sister and nephew bickering, he was overjoyed. "Before my sister got married, she was always timid. She changed after she got married."

"Oh," Shao Cheng suddenly realized, "It turns out that my father spoiled my mother like this. Oh, it's so miserable."

Cheng Xia looked at Shaocheng's exaggerated appearance, and tried his best to let himself only think about how cute he was when he was young, and ignore the naughty little ancestor in front of him.Forget it, it's her son after all, no matter how unpleasant it is, he can't be stuffed back into the furnace and remade, so she decided to endure it.

After walking on the road for seven days, the carriage staggered into the border of Fujian, walked for another day, and arrived at Chong'an County at dusk.

When I came back again, I still felt that things are right and people are wrong. Shao Cheng was curious. He walked around here and there to have a look. Xiaolong was less than three years old when he left, and his impression was not deep, so the feeling was not strong. I haven't been to Chong'an County much, and I don't have any impression.

Cheng Xia took them to see Zheng Guan first, and recounted the old days. After leaving the county office, Cheng Xia went directly to the Tianyou grocery store. She wanted to see if Boss Shao was also in Chong'an County by chance.

Coincidentally, the shopkeeper recognized Cheng Xia at a glance, and then said directly, "The boss is on the second floor, Madam just go up."

Cheng Xia was very happy, and took the three boys up to the second floor. Like many times before, she knocked on the door of the private room on the second floor, and when she heard the familiar voice from inside, Cheng Xia almost burst into tears. down.

Cheng Xia opened the door and went in. Boss Shao inside happened to turn his head around. When he saw Cheng Xia, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that he strode to the door and welcomed Cheng Xia in.

Boss Shao's excited face trembled a little, "It's been 15 years, and we haven't seen each other for such a long time."

"Isn't it?" Cheng Xia smiled and shook his head, "Shao Chen has always been thinking about Boss Shao, and often said that you don't want to go to the capital to see."

Boss Shao waved his hands again and again, "I'm getting old, I don't want to go anywhere, and I will settle down in Chong'an County from now on."

As Boss Shao said, he suddenly walked up to Shao Cheng, looked at him carefully, and then asked in surprise, "This is, the son of the young master?"

"Yes, Grandpa," Shao Cheng listened to the conversation between his mother and the old man covered in burns, and he roughly figured out what to call. He smiled very cutely, "My father often mentions you, my father's government affairs I'm busy, I can't come back to see you, when I go back and tell him, he must be very happy."

"Good boy, good boy," Boss Shao burst into tears with excitement, "The Shao family has a queen, and this child is so well-behaved and sensible, so good." Boss Shao said, taking a jade pendant from his waist and taking it out , the fortress was in Shaocheng's hands, "This is the piece of chicken blood jade that I found for me when I went to Shazhouwei a few years ago and visited the skilled craftsmen near Jiayuguan. It is very precious and rare. I sent someone to carve it into It has the shape of a plum blossom, and the edges are dotted with pine and bamboo. This Suihan Sanyou symbolizes a gentleman's high character and integrity. I haven't considered who to give it to, and now I give it to you."

"Mother," Shao Cheng didn't know whether he should accept such a valuable thing. He looked up at Cheng Xia, saw her nodding, and happily accepted it, "Yan Nian is a gentleman, and he is as gentle as jade. Thank you, grandpa, for the gift." .”

Boss Shao happily looked at the young master in front of him, with a well-spoken and polite manner, very happy in his heart.

Cheng Xia narrowed her eyebrows, well, this little ancestor is really sweet-mouthed, and he is capable of making people willingly treat him with heart and soul.

Cheng Xia stayed for a while, seeing that it was getting late, she got up to say goodbye and prepare to return to Qingxian Village.

Leaving the Tianyou grocery store, Shao Cheng proudly shook the blood-colored jade pendant at his waist, "Mother, plus the sword and jade pendant given by Uncle Xing Wang whom I haven't met, as well as the ones from the concubine and aunt, I have several pieces that are world-famous." It is a rare treasure, no one in the Imperial College is more powerful than me, of course, there is also Xu Gongyan, which Uncle Du Zhong went to Yizhou Mansion in Shandong to find for me, that is also unique."

"All right, all right," Cheng Xia sat in the carriage and saw that he was still chattering, so he couldn't help interrupting the conversation, "I heard you say that Eucommia ulmoides could tell cocoons along the way, if you mention him again, I will kill you Kick it down."

Shao Cheng quickly shut up.

As they got closer to Qingxian Village, Xiaolong and Cheng You raised the curtains on the left and right to look out. After all, it was the place where they were born and raised, and their thoughts were always deep in their hearts.

When passing by Yang's house at the west end of the village, Cheng Xia looked over through the car curtain that Xiaolong opened, and saw the house that hadn't changed a little more than ten years ago.

Cheng Xia asked the coachman to stop at the foot of the mountain first, she wanted to go back to the bamboo house halfway up the mountain first.

When walking up the mountain, Cheng Xia saw familiar plants and trees, and her steps were a little slow. She kept looking up, but she never dared to walk too fast.

Shao Cheng had already followed Cheng Xia's address and ran to the middle of the mountain, and then quickly ran down again, saying without blushing, "Mother, there is nothing in the place you mentioned."

"What?" Cheng Xia frowned, "What do you mean nothing?"

Shao Cheng scratched his head, "That's right, there is no bamboo house as you mentioned."

Cheng Xia was taken aback, and quickly ran up the mountain, and when he got to a familiar place, there was nothing there.It was so desolate that even some traces of burnt could be seen. Cheng Xia felt a pain in her heart. Her last thought in Qingxian Village had been burned away.
