Returning to the inner courtyard, the main room was illuminated by soft lights, and on such a cold and rainy night, there was an intangible warmth of anticipation.
Ye Qingtu found himself a little hesitant and stopped his hand on the door, saying, "So this is the feeling of being afraid of being close to home
A familiar and delicate figure fell on the paper window, with a beeping sound of oil and fire. The shadow swayed twice, as if cutting a wick, and then sat back, holding a roll faintly. It turned out to be reading a book.
Just get a glass lamp, using oil lamps is not good for the eyes... "Standing quietly in the darkness for a while, feeling this feeling, thinking this way, pushed open the door.
Qianqian looked back under the lamp, filled with joy: "Are you back
I'm back, "Ye Qing took off her outer robe and handed it to her casually, saying," The clan leader has something to keep and has been talking to many people
Didn't you keep it for a banquet? "Qianqian asked, not smelling any alcohol.
It's late, everyone knows I miss you. Who wouldn't dare to invite a banquet? "Ye Qing shamelessly said.
Nonsense! "Qianqian laughed angrily, her face turning red as she quickly changed the topic:" Although there is a carport, my clothes are damp. Go take a shower, I have already ordered hot water to be added
Ye Qing went in, and the heat inside was steaming. There was a familiar medicinal aroma, which was originally a prepared medicinal soup.
Qianqian poured some boiling water into the bathtub and reached out to test the water temperature, with a smile on her face. "Lingling told me it's this kind of recipe, so you should try it yourself while it's still hot," she said
She bit the word 'herself' clearly, indicating that Zhou Ling had honestly reported the fact that the young master had taken her for an experimental medicinal bath.
Ye Qing shamelessly pretended not to hear and jumped into the bathtub. Seeing that she was going to get new clothes, she called out, "Don't go, stay with me
Qianqian stayed behind and naturally helped wash her hair. A clean body only does not accumulate dirt, but it cannot prevent her hair from getting dirty. At this time, both men and women have long hair, and Ye Qing used to shave short inches with ease in her past life. Now, she often worries about washing her hair.
Qianqian had heard him complain several times, puzzled and amused, and helped wash them all. After washing her hair, Ye Qing didn't get up, and the medicinal soup had to be soaked while it was still hot. Besides, there were people boiling water outside.
Qianqian sat beside her with a small stool, helping to wipe her back and chatting about some things.
Ye Qing asked, and Qian Qian said about herself, but life in the yard is very simple. Reading, writing in the evening, and then practicing.
When it came to cultivation, Ye Qing noticed Qianqian. With a gaze that reflected on the Great Yan Divine Art with a spiritual rhinoceros, she caught a glimpse of the true essence flowing within her body.
This is a faint and pure true element, even with the current gaze, it appears very pure.
I casually asked, "Does Qianqian practice every day
Do you think it's Tuna? Qianqian practices every day, and after practicing, she rarely has nightmares, "Qianqian replied.
Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said something about meeting the clan leader just now. She couldn't help but sneer, "Sometimes I really feel that this world is a bit absurd. After doing so many things for the clan, I'm not satisfied
It's better to know what's right than wrong, but if you don't agree, it's a sign of coldness in your heart. I now understand why hypocrites are rampant
What should we do then? "Qianqian was somewhat panicked.
Don't be afraid, the clan leader has compromised. What if there's anything? Our clan doesn't want anything. As long as we can take Qianqian away, I won't miss anything at all
After hearing these words, Qianqian's head buzzed a bit, wanting to suppress it, but couldn't help but be filled with joy. Most of the following words were spoken by Ye Qing. She was listening, occasionally asking, and mostly just looking at Ye Qing, helping to wipe her back, and a little smile bloomed on her face.
When the water temperature dropped and the steam decreased, Ye Qing finally noticed something unusual and asked, "Are you listening
Ah... "Qianqian woke up and tried to recall," I should have said
Ye Qing was speechless and said, "I have written many letters to my family, six of them to you, have they all been sent
Yes! "Qianqian got up and ran out, bringing back a small mahogany box. She opened the lock and took out six letters like treasures:" I have received them all, but the last one was only received a few days ago. The most infuriating one is the fourth one. It was sent a long time ago, but it only arrived after the fifth one was received. I can't even ask them why, it's really infuriating
Thinking of this, she couldn't hide her anger and frustration. She had been anxiously waiting for two months!
Ye Qing chuckled and glanced at the thin letter and the small red wooden box. There were not many pieces of jewelry, they were all small items she had bought for her.
The oldest one was a small woven bracelet made of grass. I saw her wearing it for a while, but it disappeared later. I didn't want her to hide it, but that was a long time ago.
Ye Qing touched it with a daze in her eyes, and Qianqian seemed to feel something. She silently hid the letter and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong
Ye Qing thought for a moment and was about to shake her head when Qianqian held his hand and looked at him quietly. Her hands were soft and her eyes were serious. Only then did Ye Qing remember that the girl in front of her was tenacious in guarding this home, stronger than her appearance and name.
There is one thing - marriage! "Ye Qing stared into her eyes.
Qianqian was stunned, lowered her head, and couldn't see her expression clearly under the light. She just murmured, "Is it a marriage... is it a princess from which royal mansion or a daughter of the prime minister's family
As Qianqian reads more and more, she knows even more. Which of those legends about two successful candidates did she not climb high?
No, they're too tall
That's Gongqing, the daughter of the prefectural family
Not really
Is that the daughter of a county official
Not at all! "Ye Qing smiled and shook her hand." I'm just an ordinary person and don't deserve such a high door
Young master, you're talking nonsense again. You're a jinshi, how could you not be worthy? "Qianqian was angry and was about to split up when she suddenly understood a little and stared at him blankly.
The reservation will be for the Cao family, my cousin Cao Baijing
In the previous life, Cao Baijing struggled like an ant, and her impression of her mother tribe was no longer clear. However, she managed to survive by hiding in the Ye Mansion, at least until the destruction of the Ye Family Villa.
Cao Baijing and Ye Qing have feelings for each other, and more importantly, Cao Baijing is a truly intelligent person with a relatively broad mind. Perhaps only she is suitable for this position.
Qianqian felt that she should be angry, but in his eyes, she couldn't muster any resistance. Her heart was twisted and she let out a sigh, "Young master, you really... there's no need for this
Ye Qing smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "Aren't you jealous
Qianqian frowned and said, "It's not true that I'm not jealous. I'm also a woman... Even before, I was actually very jealous
I have been a servant of the young master since I was young... Well, I was about three or four years old. I have been following him for too long and have become accustomed to it. I just want to continue like this, "Qianqian said in a daze.
But people always have to grow up. Young masters are becoming more and more innocent, more and more talented, more and more successful candidates, and more successful candidates... Not to mention, women are becoming more and more popular, and the people in the clan are as happy as during the Chinese New Year. They are also becoming more and more polite to me, but I always feel a little melancholy
Zinan, Baijing... or for the women of both families, the young master is like a towering tree... But Qianqian still remembers when the young master was cold and weak, the house was broken, and the rain leaked water. The clan was busy with spring plowing and couldn't draw manpower, so we had to climb up and make up for it ourselves
Ye Qing smiled and said, "At that time, you said you were older than me, an older sister, and wanted to come and work first. I was holding onto the ladder below, and seeing you nervous on top made me cry. It made me very nervous too
This was a deliberate joke, but Qianqian's eyes were hazy, staring blankly at the lights without saying a word, as if she had gone back in time.
Ye Qing's heart moved, and a realization arose. Perhaps for this young girl, the hardships and bitterness of her past impoverished days have faded away with time, becoming the most mellow and beautiful wine in her memory.
Young master, do you still remember? "Qianqian snapped back to her senses, a little shy but also a little happy smile." Although I'm a little afraid of heights, I still managed to fix it, no more leaks
I know, Qianqian is very capable and brave, "Ye Qing said. After her father passed away, a hundred acres of land were taken over by the tribe in the name of" management ", and there was still some grain. However, there are many things in life that cannot be passed over by just a few bags of rice.
Thinking back to the days when Qianqian was still a child, how did she support this family?
Qianqian shook her head and said, "Qianqian can't do it. She's still very timid, but my favorite saying from the young master is - everyone should work hard for their own home
Ye Qing was a bit dazed, but was not surprised by these words.
I have met countless people in my past and present lives, and there are always some who are ordinary and work silently like this. They may not feel it themselves, but it is a very precious wealth in life
Many people forget the past when they become wealthy and prosperous.
Qianqian didn't realize it and spoke her mind: "Young master, don't think too much about Qianqian... Qianqian worked so hard for herself at that time, and I had nowhere else to go
Is it true
It's true! "Qianqian lowered her head.
Ye Qing remained silent for a long time, thinking to herself, "But I didn't have a place to go back then
I'm serious! "Qianqian raised her head fiercely and her voice grew louder." And I also dream in my heart that the young master will one day marvel at me
Ye Qing has lived two lives and has never heard Qianqian's wish: "What are you amazed at
I don't know... "Qianqian blushed and said," Young master is like a towering tree, Qianqian is like a small grass. No matter how long she grows, she can't catch up. What does a big tree need a small grass for
Her voice lowered, "But I always feel that one day, the young master will be amazed at me - every time I have this dream, I will be so happy that I laugh out loud in it
Ye Qing remained silent for a long time, without saying a word. The room was quiet for a moment, and only soft breaths responded. After a long time, he suddenly said, "The water has cooled down
Qianqian was startled and quickly got up, "I'll go get your clothes
Wait a minute! "Ye Qing said, and Qianqian turned around in surprise, only to see him looking serious. She said," I'll teach you the Dharma tomorrow
Okay
Listening to her thoughtful answer, Ye Qing just gave a faint smile. Judging from her quick agreement, she knew she didn't understand the essence behind it.
Whether it's marriage or love, even if Cao Baijing is in this position, there are still many possibilities that she may not be tolerated. The only way to truly protect her is through the Tao.
