Ask This Spring

Lu Chi is selfish and domineering.

When her aunt brought her into the Prince's Mansion, she told her that Lu Chi was not something she could provoke.

Shen Tang always remembered that she avoided everything. Compared with the glory and wealth, she just wanted to live well.

But she didn't know that some people would stick to them even if they didn't provoke them.

Zhuo Lian looked at the woman lying prone on Qu Yi's back, her cheeks covered by black hair, a trace of curiosity flashed across his eyes, but also a bit of worry. She has just brought her mother to her side, even if she has a close and close blood relationship, she has been separated for nearly ten years. The relationship can only be maintained by getting along slowly. Once the uncertain factors are added, she does not know what the future will be. .

"Brother Yi, who is this young lady?" she asked tentatively.

Qu Yi walked with Dan Ling on his back for a long time. No matter how strong he was, his body was full of exhaustion. At this moment, he heard the woman's familiar voice, and then he came back to his senses. He explained: "I was not adopted by the mother-in-law. At that time, Dan Ling and I were neighbors."

A few years ago, the two parents made an appointment with Dan Ling. Later, because of the disaster in Qu's family, he became a beggar on the street, and no one mentioned it again. When he just went to the street to buy firecrackers, he looked at Dan Ling, who was kicked out of the house and knelt in the snow, crying, her facial features were very similar to those before, and she could recognize her at a glance.

For some reason, Qu Yi couldn't tell Dan Ling's identity, so he could only lower his head in silence, not looking at the man and woman anymore.

"How is Brother Qu going to place Miss Dan Ling?"

Huan Shen's eyesight was not bad, and he looked at the woman carefully, and found that although the clothes she was wearing were thin, they were all rare good materials, and ordinary maids would definitely not be able to use them. From this point of view, this Dan Ling should be the aunt who was driven out of the house by a large family, otherwise, how could it have fallen to this point?

Hearing someone mentioning her name, Dan Ling suddenly raised her head, looking at Qu Yi with a pair of water eyes, his pale face full of pleading.

"Brother Qu, can you help me? I was sold to Renyazi by my parents. If I go back, I will definitely be sold a second time. I'm afraid." The woman pulled Qu Yi's cuff, tearing her mouth. , She was born with a soft and charming appearance. She was shivering by the cold wind at the moment, and she looked even weaker. As long as she was not hard-hearted, she would give birth to pity.

Qu Yi couldn't bear it, turning his head to look at Zhuo Lian, with pleading in his words, "Lianniang, Ling'er is a well-behaved and kind-hearted person, and will never cause you trouble. Can you let her be in the small courtyard first? Live for a while?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Lian couldn't help but twisted her eyebrows. Qu rushed to the wine shop just now. She thought that Qu Yi was in danger and would stay outside for so long, but now it seems that where is the danger. ? Obviously hit the peach blossom.

But if she remembers correctly, Qu Yi's wife should be named Bai. What happened to Dan Ling in front of her?

These messy things can't figure out at all, and Zhuo Lian doesn't want to intervene. She wanted to say no, but when she saw the woman trembling and her face pale, she almost swallowed the virtues that she wanted to say.

"Brother Yi arranged it by himself. Mother is still waiting at home. Don't worry about her anymore."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Lian walked forward without turning his head, and Huan Shen Yibu also tended to follow her behind, casually mentioning: "This Dan Ling, the timing of appearing is too coincidental."

Isn't it a coincidence? Bianzhou said he was big or small, so he bought a firecracker. Qu Yi could meet his childhood playmates. She was still a miserable and extremely down-to-earth girl. If he was a little bit bloody, he would not know him well. The woman continued to suffer.

His hands were red from the cold, Zhuo Lian couldn't help but rubbed it a few times, and nodded as he walked, "If Dan Ling were to be driven away, she would die in the street alive and coldly. Brother Yi would not agree."

Huan Shen also thought of this, and sneered secretly in his heart. He most looked down on the indecisive men like Qu Yi. He knew that he had nothing and was still doing work in the wine shop to make ends meet. Instead of trying to help outsiders, he didn't look at it. Whether he has the ability or not, will it cause trouble.

The two uncles and sisters returned to the wine shop, Qu looked at them eagerly, and asked anxiously: "Lianniang, where is your brother? Why didn't you see him come back?"

Zhuo Lian replied in a calm tone: "Don't worry, mother. Brother Yi met a woman on the street. He was his former neighbor. Because he couldn't bear the girl being bullied, he took her to the small courtyard. Walk a bit slower, and you will be back in a while."

Hearing this, Qu's heart hanging in the air finally let go. The mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years. Although they are not biological, they are better than biological. Knowing that the son is okay, she slowly let out a stale breath, pulling her daughter cold. There was a touch of guilt in the eyes, "I have suffered so much for Lianniang, and I have tossed so much during the New Year, and Yi'er is really ignorant."

Zhuo Lian didn't say much, took the paste made by Uncle Fu and walked to the door, ready to re-attach the couplet, before she stepped on the low stool, the basin in her hand was snatched over.

"Let me come, Sister-in-law sits down and rests." Huan Shen frowned slightly.

"I'm not a paper person. How can I be so weak? I do a lot of work in the wine shop on weekdays. I just went out for a walk just now and it didn't get in the way."

"Well, you can help me look at the direction so as not to post it crookedly," the young man suggested.

To be honest, Zhuo Lian never expected that her uncle would take the initiative to show kindness. She felt a little hesitant in her heart and did not dare to refuse again and again, so as not to let the future Lord Zhenguo give birth to grudges. It's down to freezing point.

"That's good."

Huan Shen's stature was too tall, and he didn't need to use a low stool to brush the paste like Zhuo Lian did. He acted neatly and applied a thick layer of white paste to the door frame in three or two strokes, holding the red couplet in his hand. Compare it up and down.

"Move to the left a little bit more, it's done!"

Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly, and quickly posted the upper link, and then posted the lower link and the horizontal batch. The position was quite right, and he couldn't pick out the slightest flaw.

After receiving the news of his son, Qu did not stay in the wine shop much, stayed for a long time and then turned back to the small courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the young woman sitting on the edge of the kang. Even if the light in the room was dim, she still couldn't hide the bright and beautiful face, but she was wearing Qu Yi's old clothes. How awkward is this picture? .

"Your son's unfilial piety makes you worry."

Qu Yi was ashamed. After bringing Dan Ling home, he planned to go to the store to pick up his stepmother. However, Ling'er was afraid of the unfamiliar realm. He couldn't help trembling. His heart softened and he didn't realize it. There was a delay at home for a while.

Qu took his son, led him to the barn next door, and asked in a low voice, "Where did this girl come from? Why is she still wearing your clothes?"

Explaining Dan Ling's life experience, Qu Yi sighed lowly, "If we don't take her in, Dan Ling will be homeless. You can imagine what she will encounter."

The Qu family is kind at first. Hearing these words at this moment, he still couldn't give birth to the thoughts of rushing people. He only exclaimed with a serious expression: "Ms. Danling can live at home, and you must not go to the wine shop. She is young. I just stayed a widow lightly, and the days are hard enough. If I cause her trouble again, I will really feel sorry for her."

The man patted his chest and promised, "This is natural. It has nothing to do with Dan Ling who is a son. It has nothing to do with Lianniang. It will not be too late to find a way out after Ling'er is well."

Even if Qu Yi said that, Qu still didn't think things would be so simple. Dan Ling was born beautiful, and grew up with her son. His love is much deeper than that of ordinary people. It doesn't matter if he didn't meet him before, but now he gets along under the same roof, and things will happen if he gets along.

Uncle Fu’s cooking skills are superb, and the preparation of the New Year’s Eve dinner is impeccable, but because there are elders in the family who need to support him, he hurriedly left after finishing his work.

At this moment, the family is sitting in the kitchen, Zhuo Lian pours the brewed honey wine into the glass, the golden color and the attractive sweet fragrance, that taste is so greedy.

The stamina of the honey wine was not big, so the two little girls also got a glass. They lowered their heads and drank slowly, their small faces flushed lightly, which looked particularly pleasing.

Huan Shen sat on the wooden chair with his back straight, and his black eyes looked at the woman who was looking down and smiling. In the past six months, Zhuo Shi was truly a revolutionary, his words and deeds were completely different from those in the past. At first he thought Zhuo Shi was in a play, but after a long time together, he completely dispelled this idea.

Even if a person is acting, it is impossible for a person to live with a mask all the time. Whether she treats her mother and sister sincerely or fakely, she can tell clearly by just looking at it.

Huanmu put down the wine glass, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said: "This year is really hard work. You are busy making music and making wine all day, and you can hardly get any free time. Waiting for the next year to find a few more long-term jobs. , Helping in the store can also reduce the burden, so you don’t have to be busy like a top."

"Mother, my daughter-in-law likes to make wine, so I don’t feel tired at all. Next year, besides Qing Wu and Jin Bo, I will also make a batch of fruit wine. Get good-quality grapes, the fruit wine has a unique flavor and is not inferior to sake. Even if it is outstanding, how can it compare with the spring scenery of a garden?"

The two little ones were amused by the words, their eyes sparkling, and Huanmu couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing, just as you please, I can't control so much, there is only one thing you have to remember. Living, the body is the most important thing, it must not be ignored."

"Daughter-in-law understands."

When Zhuo Lian answered, he raised his cup and put the warm drink into his mouth, tasting it carefully, the apricot eyes were full of intoxication. Due to the New Year's sake, she was not as cautious as usual. Instead, she indulged a little bit and drank four or five cups of honey wine.

Probably because of the urgency of drinking, her head was dizzy, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and all people and things couldn't really see it.

"Sister-in-law is drunk!" Huan Yun whispered to her second brother's ear.

Huan Shen did not make a sound, lowered his head, and silently ate the food in the bowl. He didn't even dare to raise his eyes for fear of seeing the gorgeous and compelling face.

There were old and young in the wine shop, and couldn’t stay up all night. Huan’s mother sent Huan Yun and Zhenlin to the room, and then went to the shack to feed the dogs, and then said, “You’ll stay there for a while. The rest will be packed tomorrow morning and it won’t get in the way."

"You go back first, uncle hasn't set off the firecrackers, so don't worry."

After Huanmu left, Zhuo Lian stood up, put the dishes in the wooden basin, soaked them in warm water, and carefully washed the loofah. At the same time, Huan Shen hung the firecrackers on the wooden poles in the courtyard, and as soon as the fire was ignited, there was a crackling sound.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared.

Zhuo Lian raised his head in surprise, and found that the young man was standing in front of him, his jaw was tight, his expression was not the same as usual, and he looked at himself with a look that could be called scrutiny.

"What's wrong?"

Even if she couldn't hear a woman's voice clearly, Huan Shen could tell her from her mouth. He shook his head, then sat on a low stool to help.

"Who are you?" The young man asked in a low voice, but Zhuo Lian didn't notice it.
