Chapter 153 Memories
Li Wanhe arrived in the capital after more than half a month behind Qin and the others.

Xiaodong Leng might as well suddenly be called "sister-in-law" by a man like a steel tower, really, really not used to it.

To be called Big Brother Li by Qin Lie, of course Li Wanhe is older than Qin Lie.He must be over 30 this year, right?It looks even worse than An Wang...cough...

How did Yao Jinfeng fall in love with him?

Xiaodong seemed to be stuffed into a stuffy gourd, not to mention how curious he was.

Could it be... Cough, she is seriously insecure?
Comparing Qin Lie with those scholars in the capital, they are very rough.But when Qin Lie competed with Li Wanhe, he immediately became a badass again.Well, as expected, people need to compare. If Xiaodong is compared with a group of clan sisters and ladies in the capital, she can be regarded as beautiful, beautiful and lovely, but if she stands next to the Qin family and Yao Jinfeng, then...

It's better not to compare, it really hurts self-esteem.

Qin Shi really had nothing to say to Xiaodong, she and Yao Jinfeng didn't bring anything with them to hurry, but this time when Li Wanhe came, they brought several cartloads of things.Most of them are for Xiaodong. The Suijin in Suizhou is very famous, and there are a lot of them on the car, all of which are suitable for Xiaodong's age.There are also other famous specialties in Suizhou, such as tea, medicinal materials, fish cakes, jade, and two tightly wrapped boxes, which have been unpacked for several layers without opening the outer packaging.

"what is this?"

"It's precious." Yao Jinfeng said with a smile, "You know that there is a strange flower in Suizhou..."

"Fire Phoenix Flower." This Xiaodong knew it all too well.

"Well, this kind of flower can't be planted in other places, and it can't live for a month even if it is removed with soil. This flower is very good. Our local girls use it to make rouge, and some are used to dye wedding dresses. Yes, fire phoenix flower The pollen and nectar are also good things, but the amount is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get. These two bottles should be nectar, and the godmother specially collected them for you, and I don’t even have a share.”

These days, the relationship between Qin Shi and Xiaodong has gotten a lot closer. Although there are differences in living habits, customs, etc., they are all minor problems that are easy to overcome.The Qin family is not a Han Chinese, so they don't have the mentality and purpose of "a downtrodden daughter-in-law kneads the noodles". Xiaodong also saves the process of "boiling and boiling, the oil is all boiled out, and the daughter-in-law has not yet boiled into a mother-in-law".

In fact, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very simple to put it bluntly. In the past, everything in this family belonged to the mother-in-law, property, son, and power.Suddenly a daughter-in-law came, and the son must belong to the daughter-in-law, and the power and property of the housekeeper would have to be fought over by the two parties.Everyone generally gets married early. The daughter-in-law is ten years old, and the mother-in-law is more than 30. When the mother-in-law is in the prime of life and healthy, the daughter-in-law will have to endure.As long as the mother-in-law lives, the daughter-in-law will have to endure it.There are often many daughters-in-law who can't survive the mother-in-law to take the first step, and this is not a minority-because the mother-in-law possesses powerful weapons in both innate and acquired aspects.One is that the son was born by her, and she has a mother-child relationship. Compared with the daughter-in-law, she spends much more time with her. After all, the daughter-in-law is an outsider with a different surname.The second is that the mother-in-law occupies the title of "filial piety". She can teach her daughter-in-law, punish her and beat her, but the daughter-in-law can only accept it, otherwise the end is not miserable.

These problems did not exist between Xiaodong and the Qin family.The Qin family was originally a Yiyi woman with an independent personality. Raising a son is also free-ranging, which is different from the "captive raising" in the Central Plains.In terms of property, Xiaodong's dowry is not so generous. Qin Lie has his own caravan, and there are treasures from all over the world and delicious home. Most of the Qin family's business is in Suizhou, and everyone does not know each other.As for the housekeeper——Xiaodong's territory is in charge of Xiaodong, and the Qin family is only here as a guest.But Xiaodong thinks, even if Qin Lie and Qin go back to Suizhou in the future, it doesn't matter if they live long-term or short-lived, it's all easy to solve. Qin Shi sees that she likes to run out rather than stay at home. Her ambition is to be a strong woman, isn't she? Housewives.

Since there are no aspects, it is purely the minutiae of personality and love of common language.

Personalities and hobbies can gradually understand each other, and a common language can be cultivated.

Qin Lie hurried back from the shop, Xiaodong saw the two big and tall guys hugging each other heavily, and the loud "bang" made Xiaodong's flesh hurt from bumping into them.

The two laughed, Qin Lie called Brother Li, and Li Wanhe called Brother Qin.

How is this age calculated?Li Changhe called himself sister-in-law just now!As a result, Qin Lie turned around and called his brother——

Forget it, let each relative call each other, anyway, there is no real blood relationship, aunt, sister-in-law, brother, brother, there is no need to be so strict.

Xiaodong likes to entertain guests, especially such enthusiastic and simple guests-the appetite is particularly good.

In the past, Xiaodong held a small flower party at home or went to someone else's house to have a banquet. No matter what she heard or said, she had to be careful, for fear that what others said would be a trap, and she was afraid that she would reveal something inadvertently.And those people really can't watch when they eat, they can fill up with two mouthfuls of snacks, and the rice bowls are no bigger than teacups, and some are smaller than teacups, just like feeding cats and birds.Eating with such people, Xiaodong has also developed the good habit of being forced to be "gentle". When dining outside, he only takes one bite of the food. Anyway, there are many dishes on the table, and he is full with just one bite of each dish.Eat only a little rice, soup too.I don't know if everyone is afraid of getting fat, talking about ostentation, or being afraid of being drugged. In short, this small and diverse habit is done in the palace, in the clan, and among the celebrities and dignitaries in the capital.But not at home.Whoever likes to eat can eat what he likes, and whoever likes to eat can eat as much as he likes.Xiaodong asked the kitchen to prepare Suizhou dishes, and he personally cooked two famous dishes in the capital, one was full of gold and jade, and the other was high mountains and flowing water.Jinyu Mantang is actually eating finely chopped vegetables rolled with spring pancakes. There are more than [-] dishes on a large plate, mixed with meat and vegetables.It looks colorful, but it matches the name Jinyu Mantang. The high mountains and flowing water are seafood, and Suizhou is far away from the sea. It is not as convenient to transport seafood here as in the capital.The name of this dish is a bit misleading. It looks like the meat is white and the soup is clear. It is visually bland, and the taste is also a little bland for those who are used to Suizhou cuisine. Li Wanhe and the others don’t like it much. Get used to it.

They don't drink from cups, but from bowls.Xiaodong was speechless, although what he drank was not shochu, but it was not rice wine like sweet water.Don't dare to say anything else, it's no problem that Xiaodong can drink two pots of rice wine.

"Let them drink," Qin waved, and Xiaodong went to help her.

She had helped the Empress Dowager Shengci before, so she was no stranger to this kind of posture.

The two were walking on the corridor, with the wind blowing on their faces, Qin smiled slightly, and patted the back of Xiaodong's hand: "Lie'er has always had his own opinions since he was a child. Fortunately, he rarely takes detours. It can be corrected in time. By the way, what is in front of it?"

Xiaodong said: "That's the study room. It's called the study room, but I haven't been in it much since I got married. Mom wants to go in and sit?"

"Alright. Let me see what your study looks like. The house in Suizhou is also big, but I don't read books, so I just write letters in the counting room."

There are actually only a lot more books in this room than what Xiaodong left in Yufang Pavilion.She likes to read miscellaneous books, travel notes, cooking, story books, poems... There are even a lot of embroidery samples collected in books, which are neatly stacked on the shelves.Although it was cleaned extremely clean, the house where the owner didn't come often, lacked a sense of energy, and looked cold and dull.

"Mom, sit down."

Qin Shi sat down on the couch, patted the seat beside her: "You sit too."

Xiaodong gathered the hem of his clothes and sat down.

"I just got married, the first time I entered Lie'er's father's study room, I jumped a lot. The books were piled up like a mountain, the characters were so small, and the books were so thick. Don't say read them all, even if I asked them to It takes a lot of effort to flip through all the books in my hand. I have admired people who can read and write since I was a child. Reading is not all good. Those people in the Lin family, when they scolded me in front of me, I couldn’t understand them. His brothers have also read books, but after they read books, they will not become officials, and they will not be officials. To do things, I just write a few nonsensical crooked poems while drinking flower wine. My mother told me that it is for my own good not to let me marry into the Lin family, not only because of the family rules, but also because I am not used to that. The life of my family. I knew what it meant within a month of being in the house. I am really not used to it, not used to it from head to toe..."

Qin probably also drank too much.

Xiaodong took a look, her face was a little red.

Sure enough, I drank too much.

Drink too much and talk a lot, it seems that many people are like this, even Wang An once told the truth after being drunk.

Alcohol significantly reduces self-control.Some words that are usually buried in my heart, even if I think about them a hundred times, I will not resort to them.But after drinking, it was like turning on the faucet, and the words in my heart poured out.

"In the Lin family, Lie'er's father is also an exception. Probably because he has been in poor health, he doesn't get along with those brothers and relatives. He and the people of the Lin family don't get along at all—" Qin turned her head and glanced at Xiao Dong: "Lie'er's grandfather is a square person, and he is the one who loves him the most. He also left all his old books and paintings to him." Qin covered her face with her hand: "If there is no such thing, maybe Lie'er's father is also won't die so early..."

Xiaodong knew that Qin Lie's father had an accident and passed away due to injuries and illnesses.He also knew that the Qin family was kicked out by the Lin family and had other grudges.

Hearing what she said, could there be other reasons for Qin Lie's father's death?

Xiaodong used to be a very simple person, but no matter how simple he is, after watching court struggles for more than ten years, he will always learn something else.

Did someone from the Lin family attack Qin Lie's father?
You must know that ancient books and paintings are also very valuable, perhaps even rarer and more valuable than fields, houses, and shops.
