Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 36

The news of Yan Ziqin's re-entry to Beijing quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Linchuan. The old man who watched Yan Ziqin grow up with his own eyes also assumed the posture of telling ancient stories, sitting on the rattan chair in front of the door to enjoy the cool, chatting about his childhood stories tremblingly.

"This child is not ordinary since he was a child. It was Dazhong Xiangfu's seven years. This child is only two or three years old. He knows how to go outside to study with a bench. Someone passes by. If you don't believe that a two or three-year-old child can read, just stare at him. Listening to him read the book, it was true word for word. He pointed to a random word, but he didn't recognize it. In fact, his father read it once, and he memorized it by ear. "

Du He, who was squatting aside to help the old man play the fan, said with a smile: "There is another story like this, old man, you must know what ugly things he did. It must be the most ugly and funniest, and I love it." Listen to this!"

The old man thought for a while and said with a smile: "Our side often has wandering Taoist priests who come to divination and calculate for his mother, saying that her first child should be a daughter, because the Wenqu star descended to earth to become a man, but if it is a boy I'm afraid it's not good for the child to raise him, so I raised him as a girl, and I've seen him wearing a skirt when he was four or five years old..."

"Ah!" On the other side of Linchuan City, Yan Ziqin, who was packing his bags at home, sneezed, and when he turned around, he saw Ming Shu sorting out some old things.

"Your house doesn't look that big, and you don't have many cabinets. Why do you hide so many things?" She said, opening an old wooden box painted red, and rummaging through it. They were all worn out by him. clothes.

Yan Ziqin walked up to Ming Shu helplessly, and said, "Let the servants do these trivial things...Ah Choo!" Before he finished speaking, he sneezed again.

Mingshu casually took a shirt and put it on him, saying: "Be careful, don't catch a cold before you leave. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Linchuan in a few years when I go to the capital this time. Take everything you need with you." , the servants are careless, if this is missing or that is missing, don’t worry if you don’t come in person.”

Yan Ziqin took a look at the shirt on his body, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the clothes I wore when I was young?"

Mingshu said: "Yeah, this box is full of them. I don't think you should take them with you. They are useless and they are worth the weight. If you like it, pick a couple of sentimental ones and think about them." He was about to close the box , but saw a crimson little jacket, which was very eye-catching in the dark clothes. When I picked it up, it was a girl's clothes. Exquisite patterns, including flowers, white rabbits, lanterns, birds, bright and lovely.

Mingshu picked them up and looked at them one by one, but she didn't realize that Yan Ziqin beside her had changed his face, grabbed the clothes from her hand, hid them in the box, closed the box lid, and finished it all in one go.

Could it be that his family once had a daughter who died young?Thinking about it, Mingshu felt guilty that she had offended Yan Ziqin, so she pretended she hadn't seen it.

The day of departure is getting closer, but there is still one major event that has not been settled.It stands to reason that Yan Ziqin is the only man in the Yan family who can do things, so he naturally wants to take his mother by his side as a filial piety, but Mrs. Xu is unwilling to go with them to the capital no matter what. No, it was Mingshu who gradually discovered that her mother-in-law didn't seem to have any plans to leave Linchuan. After asking around, she found out that the old man was relocating and was unwilling to leave the hometown where he had lived for most of his life.

This puts Yan Ziqin in a dilemma, and in the end he still can't help the old man, not to mention that Yan Ziyu has to stay in Linchuan to study with Wang Yi, who is at home with Ding You, and he also needs his mother to take care of him, so the balance between the two is considered a let-down.

On the day before leaving, besides the husband and wife and Du He, who had a life-long friendship, there was Yan Ziqin's student Wang Anshi. His father felt that his studies should not be neglected, so he went to Beijing with his master to see him. It's also a good thing, it's a worry for Ah Qiong, when she saw her off, she cried the most sadly by the river, and she held on to the third brother's sleeve and refused to let go, repeatedly saying: "You're just having fun in the capital, come back early Home!"

Although he has always disliked being surrounded by this chattering girl, but today, after parting, he felt a sense of life and death, and secretly took off the willow silk sash around his waist and handed it to her.But who would have imagined that after parting at Linchuan Ferry, the two places would be boundless for more than ten years. When they meet again, one has grown into a beautiful girl, while the other is a young man who has experienced the pain of bereavement and the hardships of life. , the night of the bridal chamber where the candle shadows are red, and when I think of the parting when I was a child, there is always an indescribable feeling lingering in the most secret corner of my heart.

From south to north, it is upstream, and the speed of the boat is slower. In addition, the official boat carrying tribute from the south of the Yangtze River is going north to deliver the Jianxin of the Taimiao. Yan Ziqin and his party stop and go, and only see Bianliang after a month and a half The corner gate of Bianhe River in the southeast, I still remember that I left from this gate at the beginning. Now I revisit the old place, and I don’t have a feeling of complacency.

Today's court affairs are complicated, and Mingshu's father, Quzhang Quyuan, is still accompanying him in the Chuigong Hall, but the people sent by the Qu family have been waiting for many days, and when they learn that his nephew is returning to Beijing, his uncle Xu Hang also comes to greet him personally. Over the years, he became more and more relaxed and fat.

When people arrived in Bianliang, they would naturally visit Qu's family first. Mrs. Qu hadn't seen her daughter for a year, and she had been thinking about it day and night. She heard that Yan Ziqin was excluded, and shed countless tears for her daughter. Seeing her now She came back safe and sound, how could we not take her to the private room, where the mother and daughter had a good talk about the ups and downs of the past year.

Three-year-old Qu Mingheng can already run, jump and understand adults' speech. He wanted to play with Wang Anshi, who is also a child, but was scared back by his cold face, so he ran to his brother-in-law curiously. Look at this so-called sister's husband.

"Ming Heng, what are you staring at him for?" Seeing that Yan Ziqin was stared at uncomfortably, and also embarrassed to be as knowledgeable as his young brother-in-law, Du He asked for him.

Mingheng still couldn't speak clearly, but he could still explain what he meant, "Brother-in-law...listen to mother and sister...do you want to?"

He was asking Yan Ziqin if he wanted to know the content of the conversation between Mrs. Qu and Mingshu. Hearing this, Yan Ziqin immediately knelt down. He was feeling uneasy about what his mother-in-law thought of him, so he said to Ming Heng: "Good boy, go Look, come back and tell me."

"Tangtang!" Ming Heng pointed to Yan Ziqin's purse, he had seen it just now, it was the purse that his sister handed to his brother-in-law, it was full of delicious candies.

Yan Ziqin had no choice but to part with the love, handed the purse to Ming Heng, and watched him run away with a bounce.

"The two brothers and sisters are really printed out of the same mold, and the means on their bodies are specially used to defeat you." Du He laughed, and got Yan Ziqin's eye knife as he wished.

It also explains that Heng ran into Mrs. Qu's room, crawled leisurely to Mrs. Qu's lap, and basked in the sun like a little lazy cat. Mrs. Qu lovingly touched her son's long-lived braids, but when she looked up again, she changed her face. Putting on a reproachful expression, she was not blaming Mingshu, but Yan Ziqin who was not there.

"Your son-in-law is young and ignorant, so you should mention him. Although Shuzhou is small, it is also a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. How can we let him go straight in a daze!"

Ming Shu was naturally partial to Yan Ziqin, and didn't dare to disobey her nagging mother, so she could only mutter: "The man is in charge of the outside, the woman is in the house, how can I meddle in official affairs."

Mrs. Qu snorted, and said: "The man is outside, the woman is inside? I can still believe those submissive little ladies, but look at your temperament, you can climb up to the sky with a ladder, all directions The house can still lock you up? If it weren't for my strict family management, you, a crazy girl, don't know how many baskets you would have to poke, so that you can't wait until you get married. Thinking of you, you are also an idea, that is, a husband and a child You should help your husband with all your heart, but who knows that he has become a shopkeeper, do you think his official career has nothing to do with you? The daughter of the Qu family can't do it for a while, and what the rest of her life will be depends on your husband-in-law future."

Hearing her say such a long series of words, Mingshu was dry mouthed for her mother, and quickly served a cup of tea. Mrs. Qu drank it, and seemed to be calmer, and said lightly: "But it's okay, He returned to Beijing in one year, and if he really continues to work in Shuzhou, it will take three years to complete his term of office, and I don’t know if he will be able to come back after three years, so it’s a blessing in disguise.”

Hearing her change of attitude, Ming Shu also regained her spirits, and continued to chat along the lines, "Isn't it? According to me, he is a blessed person. If he loses his fortune, he knows it's not a blessing. Besides, this I lived in Linchuan for more than half a year, my mother-in-law took pity on me, my house was clean, and my daughter was not wronged."

Mrs. Qu nodded her nose, and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's a married daughter. The water splashed out, with her elbows outward, why didn't I hear you say so many good things for me when I was at home? It's all right now, official Grant him the official position of the Jiying Hall, accompany the holy car every day, he is really a close minister of the emperor, and then let him learn the rules of the officialdom with your father, and he will grow old smoothly. Pity the hearts of us old people Hey, you don’t want to give up until you are crushed by those of you young people who love to make troubles.”

Mingshu took her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "You are not old!"

Mrs. Qu's expression changed slightly, and she asked Ming Heng to go out to play. After closing the door, she approached Ming Shu's ear and whispered, "Old people love their children, Ning Ning, do you have any news?" After a pause, he said again, "There is a Niangniang Temple outside the city, and praying for a child is the most effective. Your younger brother Ming Heng was there after worshiping there. How about taking you there to burn incense and petition sometime?"

Mingshu was taken aback when she heard the words, and thought, the belated forced birth is still coming.
