pampering wife

Chapter 72

The houses of the Marquis of Wu'an were built in an open and grand manner, and the continuous houses are connected sequentially.Qingmei followed Mrs. Chu through the flower hall of the main house, turned out of the courtyard door and walked for a while, she saw a two-story attic in front, which was well-built and dignified, and there were two rows of weapons on the open space outside, revealing solemnity and majesty.

In front of the attic stood a few guards in armor. They greeted Mrs. Chu in unison, but the figure standing upright like a green pine did not move at all.

Although it was the middle of the twelfth lunar month, there were no curtains to block the wind outside the attic, the two doors were tightly closed, and the windows were also closed.The guard at the door waited for Mrs. Gu to approach, then stepped forward and opened the door, Qingmei followed and walked in, and saw that the inside was extremely spacious.The four rooms are connected, and the middle is supported by a lacquer pillar with two people hugging each other. There is a large sandalwood case facing the front, with an ancient incense fruit tripod and an epee on it. A portrait is hung on the wall, looking majestic and brave.

Qingmei glanced roughly at the display, followed Mrs. Chu and turned left, and saw a red sandalwood carving table at the innermost window, and the man behind the table stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at her.

This must be Marquis Wu An, right?Qingmei also looked at him - in his fifties, although his hair and beard were gray, he looked very healthy and clean, he was wearing a black robe, and his whole body looked as tense as a fully stringed bow, Those eyes are as sharp as a goshawk.

Qingmei vaguely felt that this person was somewhat familiar, his temperament was somewhat similar to the father in memory.She walked forward a few steps, knelt on the futon in front of the case, kowtowed and said: "The folk girl Qu Qingmei pays her respects to Marquis Wu An."

Before Marquis Wu An could speak, Madam Chu helped Qing Mei up and said, "You don't need to be polite when you see Lord Marquis." Marquis Wu An who was on the opposite side had already walked to Qing Mei from behind the case, his deep and sharp eyes fell on Qing Mei's face, for a long while Cai said: "You are... Yan'er?" There was a bit of old in the voice, and the ending was slightly trembling, which was probably caused by emotional excitement.

Qing Mei nodded, seeing the faint old tears seeping from the eyes of Marquis Wu An, her heart felt sore for some reason, and she suppressed the choking in her throat.

"Ah Heng..." Marquis Wu An trembled, bowed to look at Qingmei carefully, the hands resting on Qingmei's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and said after a long time: "Old man, you can rest in peace!"

The tears in Qingmei's eyes could no longer be stopped, falling down like broken threads.

Since the family broke up and died at the age of three, except for Xu, she has never seen anyone else have such a reaction when mentioning her father. There are nostalgia, intimacy, regret, grief... and more emotions that cannot be expressed.Such deep emotions have been suppressed and precipitated for more than ten years, and now they are suddenly released. Even the resolute and brave Marquis Wu An, who has half his life as a soldier, can't help crying.

How deep the Marquis of Wu'an's affection for Qu Heng is, Qingmei can already feel seven or eight points.She couldn't help crying, and shouted out the words that had been hidden in her heart for many years - "Master Hou, my father was wronged!"

"I know, I know." The Marquis of Wu'an, who was on the battlefield, obviously didn't know how to comfort a weak girl. He helped Qingmei wipe her tears with his callused hands, and comforted him awkwardly: "Do you remember Uncle Chu? You are full moon I hugged you when

——The Marquis of Wu'an is six years older than Qu Heng. Although he is a superior-subordinate relationship, emotionally he is already a brother entrusted by life and death.Marquis Wu An fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he gave birth to his eldest son Chu Xiuming when he was 30 years old.Qu Heng was born in a commoner, and only married Xu Zhu, who was ten years younger than him, at the age of 28. Afterwards, he was away from the battlefield all year round, and at the age of 36, he had his only daughter, Qingmei, who was regarded as a treasure.

When Qingmei was born, Qu Heng and Marquis Wu'an had already had a very close friendship, and he hosted Qingmei's full moon banquet, and the longevity lock that Qingmei carefully treasured was given by Marquis Wu'an.

The old things touched the heart of Marquis Wu An, his words obviously aroused Qingmei's more sadness, once the grievance accumulated over the years poured out, she couldn't contain it, she stood in front of her father's best friend, weeping uncontrollably.

Mrs. Chu beside her was also heartbroken, she stretched out her hand to hold Qingmei in her arms, and comforted her with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, good boy, don't cry. The Marquis will always remember General Qu's grievances."

Qingmei gradually stopped sobbing, Marquis Wu An asked her to sit beside him, and asked her about her situation these years, Qingmei had to tell her again.At the end, Qingmei tentatively said: "I have been able to live better these years, all thanks to the tavern business, Qingmei likes wine making very much, and I think I can open another tavern in the future."

Mrs. Chu was a little surprised when she heard the words, she turned her head to look at Marquis Wu An, and she saw him lift his beard and smiled and said: "Ambition! Back then, Ah Heng was addicted to drinking, so he was often beaten by my army stick. You have such energy. Heng's shadow."

Having said that, Qingmei immediately felt relieved.

Marquis Wu An was born in a family of generals, and his temperament is upright and straightforward, otherwise he would not have quarreled with the emperor because of Qu Heng's injustice, and his attitude towards Qing Mei would not, and does not need to, act.Therefore, from Qingmei's point of view, Marquis Wu'an's actions today can be described as sincere.

Then, no matter whether Gu Shangshu and his wife's plan can be realized in the end, Marquis Wu'an's love for her should not be affected too much, and Mrs. Gu would not dare to easily disobey his intention—the guard of Chu Xiuming, who is known as the "fierce god". In Beisai, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands are no joke.Since the second prince wanted to win him over, it was too late for Gu Shangshu to hold Marquis Wu An, so how dare he offend him?
Because of this, with Marquis Wu'an's approval, the matter of opening a tavern has become more and more promising!

Under Qingmei's joy, she gradually dilutes the previous gloom and mist, and her demeanor and words become more lovely, which wins the praise of Marquis Wu'an repeatedly.
