Master, stay safe

Chapter 15

Recently, Wan'er is a bit strange.

As the person next to the pillow, Jun Qingyan can detect it very sensitively.Just asked Wan'er, but she didn't say a word.I only said that Guishui came recently, and my mood was not stable.Jun Qingyan did the math, these few days were indeed the days when Wan'er came to Guishui.

Whenever Guishui comes, Wan'er's mood will be a little depressed.

Jun Qingyan, who has become accustomed to it, knows that there is no way to solve Wan'er's depression in Guishui. After so many years, the only way is to wait.After Guishui is over, Wan'er's depressed mood will naturally disappear.

Thinking of this, Jun Qingyan entered the kitchen.

He deftly lit a fire, ready to make some sweets for Wan'er.Wan Er is usually in a bad mood, after eating a few pieces of sweets, she soon forgets why she is in a bad mood.Jun Qingyan was going to make Wan'er Crisp and Yunpian Cake, and he planned to make more of them.

He glanced out the window, it was spring, and the magnolias in the yard were in full bloom.

Jun Qingyan thought for a while, folded two magnolia flowers in the courtyard, washed them with water, and then kneaded flour on the stove. After the water in the pot was boiled, he was ready to steam the magnolia flower cake.

After living for a long time, he can read a lot of books and master many things, such as cooking, especially Wan'er likes sweets. Every time he goes to a place, he will collect famous local sweets, learn how to do it, and even draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

In the last 25 years, he and Wan Er went to Dongying.Wan'er had a dispute with a local Dongying woman, and the Dongying woman insisted that Dongying's sweets are exquisite and delicious, how can the mere Central Plains compare?Hearing this, he made a table of Central Plains sweets in silence. The Dongying woman finally left crying, but later the woman came back and asked if she could take the leftovers away.

Wan'er was very happy, and said that maybe she could stay in Dongying and open a sweets shop, and then let all Dongying people kneel at the feet of Zhongyuan Sweets.

Jun Qingyan thought that Wan'er was tired of staying in the Central Plains, so he simply changed places, and opened a small shop in Dongying, Jiayuan Zhitian, which opened for ten years. Fang and Wan'er left Dongying in No. 11 and returned. Central Plains.

Smelling the aroma of sweets, Jun Qingyan lifted the pot. He was thinking about something, and he accidentally got scalded and overturned the pot and lid.

He squatted down and picked up the lid of the pot before bringing out the sweets, preparing to wait for them to cool before bringing them into the house.After a while, he touched the edge of the white-glazed ruyi pattern porcelain plate, and the temperature had dropped.He sniffed lightly, and the aroma of sweets hit his face.

He was a little greedy, but he knew that Zhan Lin would not like to eat it.When the time comes, there will be a stomachache, and Wan Er will blame herself and worry.Thinking about it this way, the greedy insects also disappeared.Jun Qingyan put the sweets on the tray and walked out of the kitchen.

Wan'er was half lying on the beauty's couch, flipping through the books.

Jun Qingyan entered the room and said with a smile, "Wan'er, I made Wan'er crisps, cloud cakes and magnolia flower cakes." His emotions were nowhere to be found.

She put down the books and walked towards him in three steps.

"Is it made of the magnolia flower in the yard? I just saw the magnolia flower blooming this morning, and it was very bright." She sat on the embroidered pier, was about to pick up the magnolia flower cake with her hands, and silently He took it back, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then continued to pick up the magnolia flower cake.She also forgot whether it was because she went to Japan or the West from the beginning of the year, every time she eats, Ah Yan must wipe her hands clean before eating.Over time, it also becomes a habit.

When the magnolia flower cake was in the mouth, Wan'er felt the fragrance of the magnolia flower lingering in her nostrils, and the deliciousness that melted in the mouth was simply the happiest thing in the world.

Jun Qingyan looked at her.

Seeing her smiling happily, she also relaxed a lot.He washed a pineapple, took a bite, and said, "Let's go for a walk in the afternoon. There is a temple fair today, so it should be very lively."

Wan'er said, "Okay."

Jun Qingyan glanced at the beauty's couch, and said, "What book did you read just now?"

Wan'er said, "The script brought back by Dongying."

Jun Qingyan said: "Let me see what the script is." Just as he was about to get up, Wan'er stood up abruptly and said, "Ah Yan."

Jun Qingyan was slightly taken aback.

Wan'er said, "When did today's temple fair start?"

"It started in the morning."

"I'm full, let's go to the temple fair." She put the half-eaten Wan'er Cake back on the porcelain plate, took Jun Qingyan's arm, and said, "Let's go, let's go, I haven't seen you for a long, long time." I’ve seen temple fairs, but I don’t know how different temple fairs are today from before.”

Jun Qingyan said helplessly: "Aren't you going to eat the rest?"

Wan'er nodded heavily.

"Yes, if you don't eat it, it's the same when you come back to eat at night. The dessert tastes better when it's cold."

The temple fair was as lively as ever.

The streets and alleys are crowded with people, and there is a lot of traffic.The temple is decorated with lights, red lanterns are hung everywhere, and there are all kinds of small stalls. With the sound of shouting, there are wooden fish sounds from time to time in the temple. Every temple fair, there must be sutras in the temple. Yes, many believers will come to listen.

But for Wan'er, the temple fair was no different from the ones she had seen before.

The form is still the same, the only difference is that the things sold in the stalls are small things that are currently fashionable.

"Would you like to visit the temple?" Jun Qingyan asked.

Wan'er couldn't arouse much interest, she said: "Go to the stall and have a look. I just saw a lot of local ceramic hairpins, which is really strange." There are colorful hairpins with many interesting patterns.

Jun Qingyan picked up a rabbit hairpin and said, "This one is really delicate."

The rabbit's eyes are red, the size of a thumb, and it is made vividly. If it is worn on Wan'er's cloud-like black hair, it will look great.He turned his head and glanced at Wan'er, only to find that she was a little absent-minded, looking at the hairpins on the stall, but as the person next to her pillow, how could he not see that she was distracted?

Jun Qingyan let it go back.

The stall owner said: "Master, you really have a good eye. This hairpin is exquisitely made. The rabbit is also fired through several procedures. The eyes on it are drawn one by one, and it is worn on your wife's bun. It must be pretty."

Seeing that Jun Qingyan was unmoved, the stall owner looked at Wan'er again and said, "This hairpin must be worth the money when you buy it back."

Suddenly, the stall owner noticed the beads on Wan'er's bun. The beads were so bright that they could reveal the person. One could tell that they were of great value.The stall owner was able to sell hairpins, so he knew about hairpins. He could tell they were rare things at first glance. The color and luster of the beads were very similar to Dongzhu. Recently, the price of Dongzhu was said to be extremely high, just like her hairpin If you buy such a big one, you can buy a courtyard with five entrances in the most prosperous place in the Jiangnan area.

But the stall owner naturally didn't know that the price of Dongzhu was not so high hundreds of years ago, and this Dongzhu was picked by Jun Qingyan and Wan'er at sea.

Realizing that the two people in front of them are extraordinary, they must have a family background, so the things on their stalls must be fresh and lively.The stall owner immediately changed his rhetoric, and he said with a smile: "Mrs., look at how beautiful this rabbit is. Buy it and it's perfect for coaxing little girls. My girls like rabbits and cats the most. Things like this are clamoring to play."

Wan'er picked up the rabbit's hairpin, and the fish's hairpin next to it, all made of ceramics, with vivid patterns.

She said, "I want these two."

The stall owner's eyes narrowed with laughter: "Okay, ok, let's wrap it up for Madam."

After buying hairpins, Wan'er didn't want to go to temple fairs anymore.She said: "Ayan, I'm a little tired, let's go back."

Jun Qingyan looked thoughtful, and said after a while: "Okay." The two returned home together. They lived halfway up the mountain, in a remote and quiet location.The house is not big, only a few rooms.There were no maidservants or servants in the room, only Wan'er and Jun Qingyan.

The house was chosen by Wan'er, she likes small houses very much recently.

There is no need for servants and maidservants. The servants who served Jun Qingyan for generations have also been dismissed. Immortals and people who turn jade every 25 years are not tolerated by the world after all. Sometimes only husband and wife live together On the contrary, it is much more comfortable.

Jun Qingyan cleaned up the trays and sweets on the table, washed the porcelain dishes, and returned to the room.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wan'er sitting in front of the dressing table, staring at the hairpin she just bought in a daze.

He walked lightly, and did not disturb her, but quietly closed the door, walked to the cage, and opened it gently.

Every time Wan'er reads a book on the beauty's couch, she will put it in this cage.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened slightly.

He closed the cage with a serious expression on his face.

He got up slowly, and said to Wan'er, "Wan'er, let's talk."

Wan'er came back to her senses and put down her hairpin.

Jun Qingyan said, "Let's go outside and talk."

A magnolia tree was planted in the middle of the yard, under which there was a stone table and two stone chairs.On weekdays, besides reading on the beauty couch in the house, Wan'er occasionally basks in the sun under the magnolia tree, or moves the beauty couch under the magnolia tree, squinting at the sun through the magnolia tree, lazily, Very comfortable.

The two sat down at the stone table.

Wan'er asked, "What does Ah Yan want to talk about?"

Jun Qingyan stared at her, sighed softly for a long while, and took out a book from behind, which was exactly the "book brought back by Dongying" that Cai Wan'er said just now.

Wan'er's complexion changed slightly.

Jun Qingyan said: "We talked about this issue, and it was agreed at the time."

Where is the book on the stone table? It's a book brought back from Japan, but a parenting manual.

Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'm just thinking about it. I know I can't have children, but...but I really just think about it." They have been together for so many years, and I don't know how many 25 years they have been together , she turned into a jade again and again, and restored her memory again and again.For so many years, only the two of them, nothing else.She also knows that raising a child will only be a burden, and maybe it will expose their secrets to the world and cause disaster.

But a few days ago, she saw a little girl being held in the arms of a young woman. The little girl had a soft voice, was wearing a cute bun, and was still babbling.The young woman gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, and the little girl babbled and called "Mother".

Immediately, she felt that a piece of her heart was missing.

She also wants to raise a doll.

But she knew that she had a special status and was not suitable for raising a baby at all, so she tried her best to suppress the thought.But last night she had a dream, dreaming that she really had a baby, although it was not born by her and Ah Yan, but picked up from outside.

But seeing the little girl's toddler appearance, her heart was unbelievably soft.

She said: "Maybe it's because Guishui came, that's why I've been thinking about raising a child, both male and female. But don't worry, Ah Yan, I'm really just thinking about it, I know How much trouble it will cause us, so I really just think about it..."

During the next incense stick, Wan'er repeated this sentence seven or eight times in a row. I just thought about it.

Jun Qingyan looked at her.

She bit her lower lip.

"How long have we been together?" he asked.

Wan Er was startled, and replied: "No. 30 for 25 years? Or No. 30?"

Jun Qingyan said, "It's No. 30 and two."

She subconsciously bit her lower lip again.

Jun Qingyan put his hand on her lips, and said, "Don't bite, I just asked you this question to explain something, you and I have been married for many years, how can I not understand you? But Wan'er," his expression changed Be serious, "I don't want to lose you, let alone take any risk."

Turning a beautiful person into a jade is an extremely risky thing.

For this reason, he dismissed the servants and maidservants now, leaving only the two of them.With children, there are many things that he can't control, and he can't take such risks.He must eliminate any risk that hinders Wan'er from turning into jade.

Wan'er opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally closed her lips.

When the two rested that night, they were a little silent.

Jun Qingyan knew that he had to have his own stand on this matter, so he didn't say anything more.It's useless for him to talk too much about this matter, if Wan'er wants to get rid of this idea, she can only figure it out by herself.

Perhaps it took a few days for Wan'er to figure it out.

With this in mind, Jun Qingyan gradually fell asleep.When he woke up the next day, Jun Qingyan felt that something was missing around him as soon as he opened his eyes. He reached out to touch it and said it was empty, not like the warm and fragrant nephrite in the past.The slightest drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he sat up abruptly.

"Wan'er?"

No one answered him.

Jun Qingyan felt a little panicked for no reason, Wan'er always slept until the sun was up, so waking up so early seemed a little strange.Thinking that hundreds of years ago, he almost lost Wan'er because of his own mistakes, his heart tightened suddenly.

He forced himself to calm down.

He reached out and touched the bed, and it was cold, which meant that Wan'er had been away for a long time.Wan'er is not someone who ran away from home in anger because things couldn't be negotiated, but thinking of Wan'er's dejected look last night...

He regained consciousness immediately.

Now is not the time to think so much, he hastily got off the bed, and when he was thinking about where to find Wan'er, he suddenly smiled wryly.

If you really care about it, you will be chaotic.

Where will Wan'er be lost?He is a Gu Master and has thousands of Lost Tracking Gu.

At this moment, the door was suddenly gently pushed open.

Wan'er came in with a basket on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Master, I bought pineapples back. This morning someone was selling pears at the foot of the mountain. The pears are thin, big and fresh. The old woman who sold the pears said that this kind of pears are called Jinshan pears. Juicy and sweet."

She puts down the basket.

"The old lady is very kind. She said that I look like her granddaughter, and she gave me two apples before she left."

Jun Qingyan was startled.

"You... call me Master?"

After Wan'er turned into jade many times, she seldom called him master.The memory of "Master" is like a distant dream.Wan'er smiled and said: "Yes, when I woke up this morning, I remembered things from many years ago. I was a princess once, and my title seems to be Mingyu? I don't remember the details, I just remember that I died Five consorts."

She took the handkerchief and began to rub the pears carefully one by one.

As if remembering something, she said again: "I still remember that I recognized Ah Yan as my teacher." She laughed, and said: "I still remember the feeling of killing the five sons-in-law at that time, thinking that I was really a disaster, I also feel that I must have done something in my previous life to offend the gods, otherwise why is it so difficult to find a good man to give birth to a doll in this life?"

Jun Qingyan said: "The son-in-law was not killed by you."

Wan'er said: "I remember it, and it seems that I found out the truth later, it was..." She frowned, "Did I still have an elder brother at that time?"

Jun Qingyan didn't want to mention Rong Xun, so he casually said: "Well, when did you get up today?"

Wan'er said: "I got up early today, and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Ah Yan, don't worry, I brought Gu worms with me when I went out."

"I'm not worried."

Wan'er curled her lips and said: "Ah Yan is lying, your face changed when I came in. Where did Ah Yan think I went?" At this point, she sighed and leaned gently against his side, Said: "Ah Yan, I will not be taken away again, don't worry. I remember Ah Yan, even if one day I was thrown in the vast crowd, I would crawl back even if I crawled."

Jun Qingyan's heart warmed slightly, and he stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist.

Wan'er said again: "I remember that I once told Ah Yan that I can not only be guarded by you, Ah Yan, but I can also protect Ah Yan. In my whole life as a princess, I was the one who rescued Ah Yan in the end. .”

Jun Qingyan smiled and said, "I never thought that Wan'er, who only knows how to eat, is so capable."

Wan'er stared straight at her eyes: "What do you mean by only knowing how to eat! I've always been able to do it, okay?" She took a bite of his arm, "I can eat so don't blame me, it's Ah Yan, you cook so well have eaten."

"Well, it's all my fault."

Seeing his eyes full of ridicule, Wan'er suddenly realized something.

She said angrily: "Ah Yan is so cunning! Knowing that what I want to say is not this, she led me astray!" She muttered, and said: "Sure enough, he was an emperor!"

"Wan'er was also a queen, the queen of red bean meat balls and small bowls of crisp."

Wan'er blushed slightly, and said: "What's wrong with this posthumous title? If it is really recorded in the history books, it will definitely be remembered by the world." It's gone! I didn't mean to say that!"

Jun Qingyan sighed, and said helplessly, "Okay, tell me."

Wan'er said: "This time you are not allowed to speak again, you are only allowed to speak after I finish speaking!"

Jun Qingyan nodded.

Wan'er thought for a while and said, "Where did I just say that? Yes, I was the one who rescued Ayan in the end of my life as a princess. From this, I can also protect myself and Ayan. It can even protect... our child. I have thought about it! We can adopt a child and teach him from an early age, and he will gradually accept our identity. Even if I become jade in the future, he will not be surprised. We You can also move to a more remote place, even a hut in the mountains, isolated from the world, and only take the child down the mountain when necessary. Or when the child grows up, he can choose what kind of life he chooses. He, we will not interfere." She was afraid that Jun Qingyan would not agree, and said anxiously: "For the child, we can find an abandoned baby that others don't want, so it can be regarded as a good deed."

Jun Qingyan became silent.

Wan'er felt uneasy, she pushed him, blinked, and said, "I'm done talking, it's time for you to speak, Ah Yan."

After a long while, he said, "You use the same trick every time." But whenever he disagrees with something, she will first think back to the past, then look to the future, and then make a list of rules, and speak very confidently, and finally wink a pair of eyes. Watery eyes full of aura.

Wan'er asked, "Will it work this time?"

Jun Qingyan stood up and said, "This matter concerns your safety, Wan'er, I don't want to." After finishing speaking, Jun Qingyan got up and left, leaving Wan'er with a sad face behind.Xu Shi's mood fluctuated slightly, and the bare Lin in Jun Qingyan's body was not very happy, and began to move.

Jun Qingyan picked up the jade flute, sat on the eaves, and played a Jiangnan minor tune.

Gradually, the agitation of Zhe Lin subsided.

He looked into the distance and sighed softly after a long time.He looked down at his courtyard, the magnolia tree in the courtyard was in full bloom, and there was a bird on the stone bench, it looked lonely and lonely.

For no reason, he actually felt that the small courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years was a bit empty.

Wan'er walked out of the wing room and stood in the courtyard, looking for her husband-in-law everywhere.Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bamboo green figure on the eaves.

"Ayan!"

She waved her hand, and in the blink of an eye, Jun Qingyan jumped off the roof.She rushed into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said, "Ayan, I figured it out. I don't want the child. You are right. We don't need to take these risks. Although I want one Child, I want to raise a child together with you, I want to hear him call his parents in a childish voice, I want to watch him grow up slowly, and I also want to see him when we hold hands and send the child out to wander around one day I quietly went to see him, but these beautiful scenes are not as good as you. You are the most important."

Yes, she really wants a doll.

But no matter how much she wants, she can't match her Ah Yan. She doesn't want Ah Yan to worry about her all the time. She hopes that Ah Yan is also happy.

She felt Ah Yan hugging her tightly.

Then, she was released, and her eyes met his firm and gentle eyes.

"Wan'er, let's adopt a child."

"……why?"

"Because I also want to raise our child with you, and I also want to hear him call me father and mother, and I know you will be happy if you do this. Maybe there is a risk, but the big risk back then has been overcome , even if there is a real risk this time, we can fight together.”

He bent down and kissed her.

With the wind blowing, magnolia petals fluttered down, and the green robe and powder skirt looked like the most splendid scenery in spring.

Both Jun Qingyan and Wan'er are people of action.

After the two made their decision, they immediately searched for the baby.The goal of both of them is very clear, to have an abandoned baby.After all, the two have special identities, and it would be great if they could not have any contact with the child's biological parents, so as not to add a little risk.

Wan'er put her arms around Jun Qingyan's arm one day and said, "I think we might raise a baby girl. It seems that girls are more often abandoned. Alas, girls are also pitiful. We only have physical differences with girls. It's the same, but everyone in the world thinks that female babies are inferior to male babies. Why are all the officials present here men? Women can't be officials? Why are all the emperors men? Everyone says the son of heaven, why is no one talking about the daughter of heaven? ? Ah Yan! When you were the emperor, why did you discriminate against women? Don’t give women as officials?"

Seeing her chattering appearance, Jun Qingyan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Don't think too much, the world is just biased."

Wan'er said again: "Ah Yan, let's raise a baby girl. Today I heard from the old woman who sells pears that Cui's family in the next village is about to give birth. The first few births are all daughters, but they are all given away because they can't afford it. , I heard that this child has even found someone to give away, as long as it is a girl, we will definitely send it away. At that time, we will be the first to go and give them more money, so that we can bring the baby back. The old woman said that Mrs. Li She is so beautiful, her eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, she looks good without makeup, and Li's husband is also born strong, so the child will be beautiful and healthy."

Her eyes were twinkling, as if the child had been delivered to them, and at this moment she was holding the child and softly singing soft tunes to lull her to sleep.

Jun Qingyan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

A few days later, when Cui Shi gave birth, the two got ready and went down the mountain to the village where Cui Shi lived.Wan'er got up very early today, maybe because she was too happy, she was smiling when she came up, as if she could smile even in her hair.

The conversation never stopped along the way.

"Ayan Ayan, what should we name our daughter?"

"Surname Jun, good name? Jun Hao Jun Hao, I wish you well." She tilted her head and quickly denied it herself: "No, my daughter and Ah Yan should have the most beautiful names in the world. Treat us Look through the books when you get back."

Jun Qingyan said helplessly: "You have already flipped through more than a dozen books."

Wan'er said, "But I haven't found anything satisfactory yet."

In the past few days, Wan'er has been searching for books day and night, just to name the child.Jun Qingyan said: "You can come up with a lot of names, and we can use them when we go to the next place to forge household registration documents."

Wan'er said: "This is different. The name will be with our children for the rest of their lives. Ayan, Ayan, you want one too."

"Baked Rabbit Cloud Cake with Meatballs."

Wan'er pretended to give him a hammer, "Be serious."

Jun Qingyan laughed out loud: "Isn't it good? The four-character name is meatball roasted rabbit, and the three-character name is cloud slice cake."

Wan'er's ears were reddish: "Ah Yan laughed at me!"

Suddenly, Jun Qingyan looked solemn, put his fingers in front of his lips, and made a "shh" gesture.Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, and her expression became serious.After a while, she said, "What's wrong?"

Jun Qingyan said, "I heard a baby crying."

Wan'er held her breath and listened carefully, she really heard the baby crying.Jun Qingyan took her hand and said, "Come with me." The two walked through the woods one after the other and came to a stream.

There is a wooden basket slowly going down the stream.

The baby cried loudly from the basket.

Jun Qingyan picked up the wooden basket, opened the red swaddling clothes, and saw that there was indeed a baby inside, a boy.The baby cried loudly, Wan'er said anxiously: "Ah Yan, what's wrong with him?"

Jun Qingyan said, "He's just hungry."

In the basket were small gourds filled with goat's milk, but cold.Jun Qingyan lit a fire, boiled the goat milk, and fed it to the little boy little by little.The boy's crying finally stopped, he grabbed Jun Qingyan's thumb, his eyes were wide open.

Wan'er felt an incredible softness in her heart.

She whispered, "Ayan, let me try."

She picked up the baby clumsily, and the baby who had just stopped crying in her arms began to cry loudly again.Wan'er was at a loss immediately, Jun Qingyan said: "Don't be nervous, hug like this."

Jun Qingyan showed Wan'er a demonstration.

Wan'er held it carefully, Jun Qingyan handed the gourd, and said, "Incline slightly, take your time, the baby is still young, you have to drink slowly."

Wan'er followed suit.

Jun Qingyan's method really worked, the baby stopped crying soon, and began to drink goat milk with relish, the eyes were big and black, as if there were no impurities at all, and he just looked at her so intently, as if this She is the only one in his eyes in the world.

Wan'er's eyes were flushed, and the satisfaction in her heart soared to the extreme.

After drinking the goat milk, the baby's eyes gradually closed and he fell asleep.

Wan'er and Jun Qingyan looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.Jun Qingyan rummaged in the basket again and found two ingots of silver.He said softly: "It seems that he is a child who was abandoned by a rich family. I guess he has no choice but to put so much money."

Wan'er said, "I won't go to Mrs. Cui's house anymore."

She hugged the child tightly, fearing that someone would snatch it from her, "It doesn't matter if it's from a wealthy family or not, since we don't want it, if we find it, it's our child. We will treat him well. You can't abandon the child. Ah Yan, look, he is so young, he can't speak, he doesn't know anything, he is placed on the creek so abruptly, if he encounters bad guys or wild wolves, he will die Nothing left."

She coughed heavily, and whispered to the baby: "It wasn't you that mother was talking about just now, it wasn't that you were abandoned, you are our child, you have a father and a mother, your father is the most capable person in the world, and he can be cute." Interesting sugar man, he will also make a lot of sweets and meat, and you will have a good time when you can eat in the future."

In the past, Wan'er only thought about the girl's name, so she couldn't use Xue, Poetry, Fang, Fei, etc.Changing to a boy, Wan'er planned to choose a very masculine name, but after thinking about it for half a month, she still couldn't come up with a reason.

Jun Qingyan looked at the books piled up on the table, including translations from other countries.

He shook his head and said, "Just wait until the child is one year old and let him choose it himself. We each choose ten names and knead them into paper balls. When the time comes, he will call whatever he catches."

Wan'er's eyes lit up.

"Good! That's a great idea."

Ever since, Wan'er got into a pile of books again, picked out all the names that sounded nice, and finally chose ten names that were either elegant, masculine, or heroic.With a swipe of his pen, Jun Qingyan wrote down ten without even reading the booklet.

Wan'er asked curiously, "What did Ah Yan write?"

Jun Qingyan said: "You can't watch it, you'll know when the child chooses it."

Wan'er said: "Ah Yan wrote it without even thinking about it? Don't be perfunctory about the child's name!"

Jun Qingyan said: "I have also thought about what it will be called if we have a child. Both boys and girls have thought about it." As soon as these words came out, Wan'er couldn't help biting her lips.Jun Qingyan stroked her lips, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't bite your lips."

Wan'er said, "Has Ah Yan ever regretted it?"

He glared at her.

"How many years have passed, and you still ask me this question. What's more, we have a child now, and he is still a healthy child. When he is older, we will slowly tell him about us." Sadly, he changed the subject without a trace: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I want to eat Wan'er crisps."

"Staple."

"I want to drink winter melon pear soup, Sixi balls, sweet and sour pork ribs."

"it is good."

Wan'er smiled and said, "I also want to eat sweet and sour pork."

Jun Qingyan said: "Okay."

A year flies by.

Babies who are still in their infancy can already crawl now, with short and small limbs like lotus root, and they often wobble and walk on the ground.Today is not only the day of scratching the week, but also the day of naming the little baby.

Wan'er spread out a light cherry-colored brocade on the ground, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, gold and silver pearl hairpins, and small abacus. At the end of the brocade was a basket containing twenty pieces of paper. small note.

Wan Er put the little baby down.

Jun Qingyan hugged her waist, and the couple looked at the little baby on the brocade with smiles.

I saw the little baby swaying here and there, grabbing the little abacus.The little baby seemed to like the little abacus very much, and put it down, and then moved the beads on the abacus with his little hands.

Wan'er smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Will our child be an accountant in the future?"

Jun Qingyan said: "It's not bad."

As soon as the words fell, the little baby ruthlessly abandoned the little abacus, and began to sway back and forth, and stopped in front of Zhuchai.He seemed to be very curious, and his black eyeballs kept staring.

Wan'er said: "Ah, why is there a pearl hairpin inside? What does it mean if you pick up the pearl hairpin? A craftsman?"

Jun Qingyan said: "It's the one who loves his wife."

Wan'er was amused, and gave her husband-in-law a look.

The little baby finally left Zhuchai's eyes and continued to crawl forward.This time the little baby didn't stop while crawling, and the four treasures of the study around him, as well as the gadgets brought back by Japan's big food, Koryo, were dismissive.

The little baby stopped in front of the basket.

Wan'er said, "It's also good to choose the name first."

The couple stepped forward, expecting the baby to pick a name.The little baby reached into the basket, and when he withdrew his hand, he caught two or three small notes in one fist.The little baby was about to bring it to her mouth, when Wan'er said, "This is not edible!"

The little baby pursed his mouth, looked at Wan'er with black eyes, wondering if he understood, and threw all the little paper balls in his fist.

He continued to climb forward.

Wan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's all right now, I didn't take the name, and I didn't catch anything in Zhou Zhou. Who is your temper like?"

At this moment, the little baby continued to crawl forward, but there was nothing in front of him.Wan'er was about to pick up the baby, but Jun Qingyan stopped her and said, "Look, he seems to be looking for something."

Wan'er looked down and became interested, she didn't stop the little baby anymore and let him crawl around the room.Ever since the child was raised, the house has been covered with carpets brought back from Persia, even in the corners.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the little baby's head hit the corner of the table.

Fortunately, the corners of the table were covered with soft cloth, but such a loud noise really startled Wan'er.She stepped forward distressedly, and when she was about to pick up the little baby, a piece of paper fell from the table.

The little baby grabbed it with one hand, but after that, he never let go.

Jun Qingyan looked at it, and said dumbfoundedly: "Who did you say you looked like just now, but now it looks like you enough. Look what he caught."

Wan'er saw it, and it turned out to be a recipe for bean curd cake.

Wan'er said: "Is it really God's will? Little baby, do you also want to cook sweets like Dad?"

The little baby was babbling and talking.

But the couple couldn't understand.

At this time, the little baby waved his little hands and feet, hooked his little feet, and actually hooked up the sachet hanging on Wan'er's belt.Jun Qingyan took it off, and the little baby babbled dissatisfiedly.

Jun Qingyan asked: "Do you want this?"

The little baby winked.

Jun Qingyan tentatively handed it forward, and the little baby actually hugged the sachet, and refused to let go of the recipe book in his hand, grabbing it full with both hands.

Wan'er said: "I have a few green worms in my sachet." After a pause, she said: "Could it be that our child wants to inherit his father's business? One hand is insects, and the other is sweets."

Jun Qingyan said: "It's not necessarily bad to be a Gu master."

He looked at the little baby tenderly, and said, "Let's treat Gu worms as a catch, and the recipe as a name, bean curd cake, surnamed Jun, named Dou. You, like your mother, have been inseparable since childhood." Let's eat."

Wan'er murmured: "Jun Dou."

Her eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile, and she said, "Then the nickname should be Doudou."

Xiaojun Dou continued to yell, as if he was extremely satisfied with the name.

Jun Qingyan and Wan'er looked at each other and smiled.

Seven or eight years later, Doudou grew up.

His temperament is very much like Jun Qingyan, without any restlessness at this age, he is very quiet, and the thing he likes to do the most is to watch his father play tricks on Gu worms.At a young age, he was very talented, and he loved Gu worms very much. He raised green worm Gu when he was nine years old.

While Wan'er was proud, she was also quietly despised by her own son, because two months later, his son developed Lost Tracking Gu.

Compared to Wan'er's self-confessed talent back then, her son is obviously a child prodigy.

Jun Qingyan is very satisfied with this, and has a sense of accomplishment as if someone has a successor.On the contrary, Wan'er was a little dissatisfied. The father and son were so fascinated by Gu worms, which made her, who could only raise green worms Gu, very depressed.

But watching the father and son sitting under the magnolia tree playing with Gu worms, one big and one small, and Doudou's childish voice wafting from time to time.

"Father, isn't that right?"

The little bit of dissatisfaction in Wan'er's heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

One day, Wan Er felt that it was a problem for the father and son to stay on the mountain all day, so she suggested that the family go out for a day.Doudou said: "Aniang, can I test Gu worms on other people?"

Wan'er's mouth twitched.

Jun Qingyan said blankly: "No."

Wan'er said: "I can only play when I go out today, and I can't touch Gu worms."

"...Oh, my child understands."

Wan'er looked at Jun Qingyan.Jun Qingyan rubbed his nose and said: "...Okay." Doudou silently despised his father in his heart. In front of A Niang, Dad is a paper tiger!

The small town at the foot of the mountain happened to be the Lantern Festival today, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Wan'er asked: "Do Doudou want a lantern?"

Doudou said: "The lanterns are for little girls to play with."

Wan'er said: "Little boys can also play. You can play now. If you grow up and play again in the future, someone will make fun of you. The child is his father, don't you think so?" Jun Qingyan said righteously: "Yes .”

Doudou said: "When Auntie turns jade into an adult, I will buy a lantern for Auntie. Little girls can play with lanterns."

For this point, Doudou is very persistent.

Well, Wan'er gave up.

Her son's character is very stubborn, and I don't know who he resembles.Oh, yes, it seemed to be herself.

Wan'er said again: "We don't want to buy lanterns, let's go eat. What does Doudou want to eat?"

"Sweet! Meaty!"

Wan'er is a little relieved, she appreciates this the most in places where her baby is like her.So one big and one small looked at Jun Qingyan at the same time.Jun Qingyan said, "Let's go eat beef noodles."

The mother and son said in unison: "Okay."

Xiao Er quickly brought beef noodles, Jun Qingyan picked out green onions for Wan'er, and Doudou said, "Mother, picky eaters are not good..."

Jun Qingyan said, "Your mother doesn't like the smell of green onions."

Doudou said: "I don't like the taste of carrots either!"

This little Douding is simply a genius!Wan'er poured the chopped green onion into the noodles, and said, "Yes, picky eaters are not good, so if mother eats chopped green onion, you should also eat carrots."

Doudou nodded heavily.

After the two finished eating noodles, Wan'er still felt a little hungry.Jun Qingyan said, "I'll go to the opposite side and buy you some red bean cakes."

Doudou said: "Father, I want to eat bean curd cake."

Jun Qingyan said: "Okay, sit with your mother in the restaurant, don't make your mother angry."

"……Yes."

As soon as Jun Qingyan left, Doudou seemed to be a different person.The lazy expression just now suddenly became serious, he kept looking left and right, and when someone passed by, he would become extra vigilant, and put his hands into his sleeve pockets.

Wan'er said, "Doudou, what are you looking at?"

Doudou said: "Dad said, if Dad is not around, Doudou will protect A Niang. Many people want to take A Niang away, and A Niang is taken away, Doudou will have no mother. Daddy has no wife."

Wan'er was so moved that her eye sockets were slightly moist.

She reached out and touched Doudou's head.

Doudou said: "Mother, I have grown up, and a man's head cannot be touched casually."

At this time, a chuckle sounded.

A red figure gradually approached, and sat down opposite Wan'er.Wan'er was slightly taken aback, only to feel that this red figure seemed familiar.Doudou was so nervous that her back straightened, and the red figure asked, "Your and Jun Qingyan's son?"

After a pause, she said again: "Adopted?"

Wan'er finally remembered, she called tentatively: "Bai... Wan?"

Bai Wan couldn't help being startled, as if thinking of something, she was shocked and said: "You...you are Rong Wu?"

Wan'er said: "Although I don't remember much, I did have a name called Rong Wu."

Bai Wan couldn't help shaking her head and said: "The marriage between you and Jun Qingyan is indeed destined by the heavens. After so long, you are still here."

Doudou felt that the woman in front of her was not very friendly, and said: "My father and my mother are the most suitable couple. Others cannot get in, even if they try everything. My father can only marry my mother." One, my mother can only marry my father, and I will not recognize anyone as my stepmother."

Wan'er really can't laugh or cry.

She patted her son's head and said, "Doudou, tell Mommy honestly, I've been feeling that the words I read have been touched by someone recently, did you secretly read them?"

Doudou drank water and did not speak.

"If you don't say it, Auntie will use Gu."

"It's time for A Niang to go out. No one is allowed to use Gu when she is out today. Is A Niang going to violate the rules she set?"

Wan'er only felt a headache, how did she and Jun Qingyan teach this little Douding?How can you be so clever?so smart?Although they are all commendatory words, sometimes it really makes people gnash their teeth.

Doudou said again: "Mother, there are outsiders here."

Bai Wan smiled and said, "Where did you pick up the child, so eloquent."

Wan'er was afraid that her words would hurt Doudou's little heart, so she said, "Even if you picked it up, you are still the heart and soul of your parents."

Doudou said: "Father's heart is mother, and Doudou has grown up, so she won't be so fragile. Father has said it countless times in front of me, I can understand."

Wan'er coughed lightly, and said to Bai Wan, "I made you laugh."

There was a look of admiration in Bai Wan's eyes, and she said: "Don't worry, I have let go of it hundreds of years ago. I don't have any affection for Jun Qingyan anymore, not to mention that I have lived for so long, and I have met very good, very good friends." My lord, although I am not like you and Jun Qingyan, I am satisfied with this. It is also a coincidence that I met you here today, I never thought that you would adopt a child."

Perhaps hearing from Bai Wan's words that there was no hostility, Doudou finally stretched out her hand from her sleeve pocket.

He looked at Bai Wan intently.

Bai Wan looked at Doudou: "Your name is Doudou?"

Doudou said: "Doudou is a nickname, and Jundou is a big name. My sister's surname is Bai, and the single name is the word Wan?"

Bai Wan nodded.

Doudou's eyes brightened slightly: "My sister is really pretty."

Wan'er's face twitched, as expected, she should put the story book out of Doudou's reach, look at him, with a slick tongue, he only heard the conversation without knowing it, maybe he thought it was some kind of gentleman Molesting a girl.

Wan'er said: "Doudou, Miss Bai is hundreds of years older than you."

Doudou said: "Father is also hundreds of years old, just like Sister Bai."

Bai Wan said to Wan'er: "Doudou is much more talkative than his father."

Doudou said again: "Is my sister married?"

Bai Wan said, "No."

Doudou's eyes twinkled brightly: "When I grow up, I will marry my sister."

Wan'er told Jun Qingyan about this on the way back, but Jun Qingyan didn't take it seriously and just joked.Wan'er didn't think about it anymore, she has more important things to do right now, she is 24 this year, and she will be transformed into jade in a year.

There were a lot of things to pay attention to in the year of Huayu. Although the two had been incognito for a long time, jade people were very rare after all, and there were too many people who wanted it.Whenever Wan'er turns into jade, what Jun Qingyan must do is to lay layers of Gu insect formations outside the house, and when mosquitoes and flies accidentally enter, they can only die without a whole body.

Doudou watched Jun Qingyan arrange the Gu worm array with great interest, and asked curiously, "Father, can I help in the future?"

Jun Qingyan said: "Study another ten years."

Doudou said: "Ten years later, I will die." The little Doudou was a little sad, he didn't seem to spend much time with his parents.

Wan'er was not too worried in previous years.

But now that I have a child, I always have some concerns.She told Doudou every day, saying: "When Auntie turns into a little girl, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." At this moment, Wan'er really wished that she would have memories of the past once she turned into a jade.

Doudou said: "I see, I got it, aren't you tired of telling me every day?" Doudou only dared to say this when Jun Qingyan was away. Don't dare to talk nonsense.

Wan'er was always a little worried.

The day of Huayu was approaching, and soon, Wan'er couldn't move her hands and feet, she lay on the couch, only her eyes blinked and blinked.Doudou, who has always said that a man does not cry lightly as a mantra, has red and red eyes, and teardrops are rolling around the eyes.

He sobbed and said, "Aniang, Doudou will buy you a lantern."

Wan'er's eyes turned red when she heard it.

Jun Qingyan patted Doudou and said, "Shh, don't make your mother cry. You go out first."

Doudou was unwilling, "I want to stay with Auntie! I don't want to go out!"

Jun Qingyan sighed, "Good boy, I have something to say to your mother in private."

Doudou wiped away her tears and ran out.

Jun Qingyan sat by the bed, looked at Wan'er tenderly, and said, "I will take good care of Doudou, don't worry."

Wan'er blinked, she felt unable to move the parts below her neck.

Jun Qingyan looked at the time, and it was almost the same.

He leaned over and planted a superficial kiss on Wan'er's lips, and said, "Wan'er, see you in the next life."

one year later.

Jun Dou, who has gradually become a young man, looks at his mother who only reaches his calf, and asks curiously: "Father, when will Mommy remember the past memories?"

Jun Qingyan was chopping vegetables in the kitchen and said, "Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow."

"How fast is fast, and how slow is slow?"

"Slower than ten years, quicker than five or six years. Doudou, hold your mother well, don't let her crawl into the kitchen."

Jun Dou said: "Don't call me Doudou, I'm already a young man, and others will make fun of me if I call Doudou." As he said, Jun Dou picked up the little girl who was crawling around on the ground.The little girl slapped Jun Dou.

Jun Dou said with emotion: "Father, it's not easy for you, was I also this naughty when I was a child?"

Jun Qingyan poured the vegetables into the pot and said, "You are okay, your mother is very naughty and not quiet at all. But it will be fine in a few years. Ah Dou, there is a lot of oily smoke, don't stand at the door, be careful of choking looking at your mother."

Jun Dou muttered: "As expected, Father still only has A Niang in his eyes."

But even so, Jun Dou returned to the house with Xiao Wan'er in his arms.

Xiao Wan'er babbled and waved her hands again, and slapped Jun Dou's face again.Jun Dou said helplessly: "Aniang, didn't I just piss you off for a while? Do you need to slap me every day?"

Xiao Wan'er seemed to understand, she stopped moving her hands, but looked at Jun Dou with watery eyes without blinking.

For no reason, Jun Dou's eyes turned red.

He said, "Aniang, Doudou misses you, hurry up and restore your previous memories."

Wan'er remembered the past five years later, when Jun Dou was already a handsome young man, walking on the street with the handsome Jun Qingyan, frequently attracting the attention of the girls around him.

Jun Dou said, "Father, I'm going to buy a lantern for Aunt."

Jun Qingyan said: "Well, your mother and I are waiting for you in the teahouse."

With that said, Jun Qingyan took Wan'er's hand and went to the teahouse.Wan'er never understood why Jun Dou, who was so much older than her, called her mother. She asked many times, but Jun Dou couldn't answer.

She had no choice but to ask Ah Yan, and Ah Yan said: "You will understand later."

Well, then she had to wait.

Maybe when you get older you will understand.

Jun Dou was very serious when choosing lanterns. His mother was actually a very picky person. She didn’t want anything too elegant or fancy, but fortunately, she was young and could buy a rabbit lantern to go home.

Jun Dou picked out the most beautiful rabbit lantern.

When he arrived at the tea shop, when he was about to surprise A Niang, he saw A Niang's eyes filled with tears. The moment he saw him, A Niang cried out in a childish voice: "Doudou!"

Jun Dou has thought about it many times. When A Niang remembers the past, she must tell A Niang that she slapped him many times!

But at this moment, Jun Dou has forgotten everything.

A young man cried until his eyes were red, and rushed forward to hug Wan'er.

"Auntie!"

After a long time, Jun Dou heard his aunt saying in a very clear voice: "Doudou, how many times has Auntie said that buying lanterns should not be too elegant or too fancy, this rabbit lantern has long ears. The two garlands are very fancy, Doudou, your taste has not improved over the years."

Very familiar whispering tone.

Jun Dou suddenly felt that life should be like this, with a father and a mother.

After Jun Dou reached the crown, he said he wanted to go out and make a living.Although Wan Er was reluctant, she also decided to respect her son's idea, so she had to send Jun Dou down the mountain with Ah Yan.When parting, Wan'er reminded: "If you meet a good girl, bring it back and show it to your parents. I will go home at the end of every year."

Jun Qingyan said: "Come back if you get into trouble, Dad will help you solve it."

Wan'er glared at Jun Qingyan.

"Who made such an order?"

Jun Dou said with a smile: "Father, I understand, and Aunt, I understand too." After that, he bid farewell to his parents and went down the mountain to venture out.Wan'er and Jun Qingyan returned home hand in hand, Wan'er said: "Doudou's temper will cause many troubles outside, I hope we can live in peace." As if thinking of something, Wan'er said expectantly again: "Finally Good Doudou is looking for a gentle and beautiful daughter-in-law, no, it doesn’t matter if she is fierce at all, it can just treat him. Ah Yan, what kind of wife do you think our Doudou should marry?"

Jun Qingyan said: "As long as my son likes it, I have no objection."

Wan'er thought for a while and said, "Yes, as long as Doudou likes him, he can live a good life, and we parents can feel at ease." But even so, Wan'er still wrote to Jun Dou every now and then to remind him If he meets a good girl, don't miss it. If he has the idea of ​​getting married, he will bring it home.

Wan'er has been talking about this matter for a long time. Year after year, Jun Dou has made a name for himself outside. I heard that he has become a general of some country and won a battle. Unfortunately, there is no future daughter-in-law. .

A few years later, when Jun Dou was 28 years old, he wrote a letter home, saying that he would bring his daughter-in-law home by the end of this year so that his parents could prepare.

Wan'er was overwhelmed with joy, and before Jun Dou came back, he began to prepare various matters, and was afraid that his future daughter-in-law would think that he was too young, so he specially dressed up as an old man.Jun Qingyan also cooked a good meal.

Finally, the day came when Jun Dou returned home.

Wan'er is looking forward to it.

I saw Jun Dou walking in alone, and he smiled very stiffly: "Father, I got into trouble. I went to the west a few years ago and swallowed the barren lin raised by others."

A red figure then appeared in front of Wan'er and Jun Qingyan.

"But you don't have to worry, my husband and I will solve the trouble that my husband caused."

Bai Wan bowed slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Bai, and my single name is the word Wan."
