Chapter 436 The beginning of a new life
Tuantuan is now more than two months old and can already smile at people. Although he may still be a little confused about who the person in front of him is, it does not delay his smile until his big eyes narrow into crescent moons, slightly raised. The little mouth opened, revealing the pink gums that had not yet had teeth, with a cute look on his face.
Qi Jintang returns home from the Yamen every day. The first thing he does is change his clothes and pick up his son: "Tuantuan, come and give daddy a smile!"
Tuantuan always opened his "toothless" mouth very confidently, not only giving him a sweet and heart-warming smile, but also coming up to drool all over Jintang's face.
"I picked up my son before I even washed my face when I came back. I brought back all the dust and dirt from outside." He Hua scolded and took her son, gently pushing Qi Jintang's back to let him wash his face, "Is the Yamen so busy lately? These days Riboning goes out early and comes back late, and I don’t see much of him. He has just started to do these things, so don’t be too pushy."
"It's nothing big. I've been busy these past few days with the February 2nd water festival. They're all detailed and trivial tasks. He took the initiative to come to me to take up this job. I thought it wasn't too difficult, so I sent two Give him an experienced officer and just learn how to do it." Qi Jintang shook the water on his hand, took the handkerchief from Miao'er's hand and wiped his face before replying.
"It's a good thing to know that you take the initiative to ask for work. It's better than sitting in your room reading a book every day." Hehua said with some relief after hearing this, "But he is still young after all. The matter of offering sacrifices to the river is not a big deal or a small matter." It’s not that small, the people here believe in this, and they can’t be careless, so don’t let go too much, you should keep an eye on him more.”
"It's natural, but..." Qi Jintang hesitated, stretched out his hand to tease his son who was lying on the couch. Seeing He Hua's questioning look, he said, "Bo Ning's temperament is still a little cooler after all, except for his own family. You can't see him smiling at anyone outside, but now people here naturally care about me. If he goes out on his own in the future, it may not be as smooth as this."
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with him. He always seemed fine when he was a child. But the older he gets, the more he worries. He usually talks and laughs without seeing anything, but when asked about serious matters, as long as it's something he doesn't want to talk about, who will Don't even think about asking." Hehua sat down on the edge of the couch and said worriedly, "He is still thinking about going to Qiu Wei this time. You said that with his temperament and style, how can I safely let him go? ? I chatted with him for a few words that day. I just said that you are still young and there is no rush to attend Qiuwei. I wanted to trick him, but he turned out to be good and said, let’s not go now... I asked him what he was doing I can’t even think of anything to ask, so it’s in vain for me to follow you in a hurry.”
"Bo Ning has his own ideas and knows what's good and what's good. You don't have to worry so much, but it's too early to go to Qiu Wei now. It's a good thing to temper his temper." Qi Jintang turned around and hugged Tuan Tuan, "Good son , let’s go eat!”
"How old is he? What can he eat? He should be taken away by the wet nurse as soon as possible. Later he will cry when he sees a table full of food and refuses to feed him." He Hua quickly stopped him, "He finished feeding a little early at noon. I hadn't finished lunch when the wet nurse brought him back. He looked at me and refused to feed him, so he stopped eating. In the end, I had no choice but to stop eating and asked everyone to evacuate him."
"Hey, you already know how to be greedy at this early age." Qi Jintang kissed his son on the little mouth, "Grow up quickly, and you can eat delicious food when you are older."
Tuantuan waved his arms, not knowing what he was expressing. Qi Jintang hugged Tuantuan and was reluctant to let go. Hehua had no choice but to call the wet nurse to come forward and carry Tuantuan down.
The second day of February when the dragon raises its head is considered a not-so-big festival in the south. Although it is not as important as the winter solstice and the 30th festival, it is also a day to sacrifice to the dragon king, respect the land, visit high-ranking matchmakers, and even get married in spring. The first choice day for marrying a girl or a boy to write a book.
On this day, Qi Jintang put on his court clothes early and led Boning to the Yamen. The county magistrate's full set of ceremonial guards had already been set up at the door, and the subordinate officials were waiting on both sides, waiting for his arrival and heading towards Going upstream of the river, you need to dig out the mud dam above it in the morning, and then return to the city to worship the river. At noon, several wealthy businessmen in the city gave money to set up flowing water mats. It is estimated that the excitement will continue until the afternoon before they can go home.
Hehua watched Qi Jintang leave, and asked the wet nurse to bring her son over and lie with her for a while. Before she could get up, she heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside. At first, she could barely distinguish one place from another, but later it was already The sound was so loud that it was impossible to tell where they were coming from.
Fortunately, Tuantuan'er is a brave person even though he is young. He flinched a little when he heard the sound of firecrackers at first. Later, he felt that no matter how loud the noise was outside, it would not bother him, so he immediately became bold and looked around as if I want to find out where this noise is coming from.
"We Tuantuan are really silly and bold!" Hehua was very happy to see him like this. She dressed him up and went out to see people busy celebrating the festival.
Ma Yong's family picked up the stove ashes from the county town at the bottom of the pot and spread them carefully around the family house in the shape of a winding dragon and snake, chanting: "Avoid insects and snakes, attract money from dragons, avoid scorpion stings, attract good fortune Xiang…”
Others carried lanterns from room to room to shine on the beams, chanting "On February 2, shine on the beams, scorpions and centipedes have nowhere to hide."
Mother Liu hurriedly told the little girls below: "Today is the day when the dragon raises its head. No one can touch the needle or thread, otherwise the dragon's eye will be pierced and it will collide with the dragon god, and they will be unlucky this year." Then she pointed to the others and said , "You can't grind flour or rice today, let alone walk around the well or water, lest you bump into the Dragon God..."
"Mother Liu, we all know it. You don't have to keep mumbling about it." Xiao Zhen came out of the room. Listening to Mother Liu's words as usual, she opened her mouth to help the others, "You older ones, please watch. My son is young, even if you are happy for the holidays, don’t just run around and get into trouble. It’s not good for you to bump into anything.”
After hearing Xiao Zhen's words, everyone naturally dispersed and went about their business without even claiming it.
Mrs. Liu washed her hands and went to the kitchen to knead the noodles. The noodles she kneaded with her hands on February 2 are called dipping sticks in the local dialect. They are not as long and thin as usual noodles, but short and thick. As the saying goes, if you eat the dipping sticks, you will knock the door up. If you live there, evil spirits will not enter, and you will have peace for a year.
On the other side of the stove, Miao'er was frying beans. He turned around and saw He Hua coming in with her arms in her arms. Her subordinates kept moving and said, "Grandma, the cigarette smoke is choking. Don't smoke my brother."
"Why are you so squeamish? When I was a child, my family didn't grow up well like that. Although life is getting better now, I can't spoil my children." Seeing that Tuan Tuan didn't show any displeasure, He Hua stood at ease. Watching Miao'er frying beans at the door, he coaxed Tuan Tuan with a nursery rhyme, "On February 2, the dragon raises his head, and the beans are popping in the pot of every family, awakening the Dragon King and rising early, and the clouds are raining to ensure a good harvest..."
Mother Liu kneaded the noodles and handed them to the girl beside her to cook them. She wiped her hands and came over and asked, "Grandma, how are we going to prepare food today?"
"I can't come back in time at noon, so we ladies will eat together, just watch and prepare. In the evening, we will follow the custom of the people in the north, bake spring pancakes, and prepare smoked chicken, sauce duck, and smoked tripe as we did last year. Children, soy pork elbows, soy sauce pork, soy sauce beef, all cut into thin strips. Spread a few eggs, stir-fry and prepare leek sprouts, dried tofu shreds, stir-fried shredded pork, shredded pork stir-fried with bean paste and stir-fried spinach, dry stir-fried bean sprouts and vermicelli... Remember to prepare some sweet noodle sauce, I like that flavor, and some fried egg sauce, Bonin likes it." He Hua thought for a moment and ordered.
It had been arranged long ago to open the mud dam and release water, and everyone was skillful in doing it. Soon, the cool and cheerful river water rushed out along the gap, gradually filling the river channel, and people who came all the way to watch the excitement crowded in. On both sides of the river embankment, children were laughing and making noise, but many adults couldn't help but pull up their sleeves and wipe their tears. After all, the waterway used to be smooth back then, and they were used to living like that. Later, the river gradually dried up, and the inconvenience and The nostalgia is even worse. Now that the river is full, most of them have mixed feelings, with smiles and tears on their faces, and they don’t know what expressions to make.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river went very smoothly. People from the surrounding villages and even other nearby towns came to join in the fun. The flowing water banquet at noon was very decent. People from Qingxi County or not could sit down and have a few bites. Qi Jintang also felt very proud.
Most of the people on the riverside took advantage of the slack time during the Chinese New Year to take out their old boats and tidy them up. Now that the water is open, they can’t wait to put the boats into the water.
Since Qi Jintang went south to become an official, he has only seen such a situation of living by the water and going out to get on the boat elsewhere. Now that he saw it in the territory under his jurisdiction, he couldn't help but feel fresh. He walked along the river and looked at the people coming and going. There are people dressed in various costumes on the boat and its bow.
Bonin did a good job in his homework during this period. He followed Qi Jintang and pointed to the river as he walked: "This kind is a farm boat. Some farmers will accumulate fertilizer in the boat. The one over there is a trestle boat that carries passengers." There are also fishing boats for delivery. Brother-in-law, look, the small one over there is a melon boat, which is usually used for small business... "
"You know it in detail." Qi Jintang looked along his fingers, "It seems you quite like this job."
"Well, I feel like I learned a lot." Bonin nodded seriously.
"It's best if you like me. If you don't like me, just tell me. There's nothing to be embarrassed about in my family." Qi Jintang said suddenly, "If you have nothing to do, talk to your sister more. She is thinking about you."
Boning looked at the small boats passing by in the river, the smile on his face faded slightly, and he lowered his head slightly and said: "I understand what she is thinking, and I don't want her to worry, but... I don't know what to do with some words. explain… "
"There's something we can't say as a family." Qi Jintang rarely saw Boning like this and didn't dare to act too hastily. He planned to slowly persuade him so that he could open up to He Hua.
"My little thoughts..." Bonin curled his lips and smiled to himself, "Hehua and I were born together. When I was a child, I always felt that I should be the brother and she should be the sister, but seeing her At such a young age, she knows everything, knows everything, and protects the whole family... In fact, I have always felt that the good life my family has now is all due to her ability. I used to think that as long as I study hard, She will definitely be happy when she comes back after taking the exam, but now... She said she doesn't want me to take the science exam so early. It doesn't matter, it's fine for me to be my brother-in-law's follower... But every time I think about it, I feel guilty. He’s so useless.”
Qi Jintang didn't expect that Boning had such thoughts in his heart. If he said it was childish, it wasn't, but he was not mature at all. He didn't know what to say for a while. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice before saying: "You kid is good at everything, but you are too preoccupied. You don't understand what Hehua wants most."
After hearing this, Bonin pondered for a moment and showed a look that seemed to have enlightenment.
"Master Qi!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Qi Jintang didn't remember who it was for a moment, but he turned around subconsciously and saw Mr. Zhou wearing cotton clothes.
"Zhou..." Qi Jintang was about to salute, but Master Zhou waved his hand to stop him.
"I'll come over and see how it looks after it's finished." Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and said, "It looks like it's done well. You were right."
"Your Excellency, this is the duty of a lower official." Qi Jintang cupped his hands and said modestly.
"Don't be an adult. I'm just hanging out today. Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Mr. Zhou said and walked towards the nearby flowing water table. Qi Jintang and Boning hurriedly followed.
Naturally, the few people around him didn't know Mr. Zhou, but Qi Jintang and Boning did, and they got up and made way for a table in a quiet place.
Qi Jintang was not polite and smiled kindly at the common people.
Mr. Zhou sat down and took two bites of food to taste. Then he turned to look at the people talking and laughing around him. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "It seems that this money is of good use to you. I heard that it rained heavily before." You almost got into trouble when you ran to the river?"
"There are so many people on the river embankment, I really can't worry about it. If there is no one in charge, what kind of chaos will happen!" Although a long time passed, Qi Jintang still looked ugly when he thought of what happened at that time. He got up. He didn't regret going to the river embankment at that time, but he was so tired that He Hua almost died, but he could never forgive himself. Every time he thought about it, he felt cold all over.
Master Zhou naturally didn't know how Qi Jintang felt, and continued: "There are very few young officials who have such thoughts as you. Young people, work hard, your future will be unlimited."
"I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official."
"What are your plans after this three-year term expires?" Mr. Zhou's question was actually a bit too deep. After all, he and Qi Jintang are not close friends, and the selection of officials should be retained. It was not under his control, but he had traveled to many places in the south for the past six months, and he was the only young official he liked so much that he couldn't help but have the idea of promoting him.
Qi Jintang naturally understood this. If he was serious about developing an official career, this would be a great advantage. He would save many detours and waste time in the future, but it's a pity...
He smiled regretfully and said: "Your Majesty, I love you, but my intention is not to serve as an official. If I serve as an official in Qingxi County for a day, I will naturally fulfill my duties. When my term is over, I plan to take my wife and children to find a quiet place with clear mountains and clear waters." Let’s open a academy and live a leisurely life.”
Mr. Zhou couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded, "This may not be a good way out for you. Although we don't know each other closely, we can roughly see your temperament. You are not ambitious. People are too soft-hearted in doing things, so they are really not suitable for hanging out in the officialdom. Being able to teach and educate people is not a good thing."
After the river was dredged, the people in Qingxi County became busy. The city is no longer what it used to be. People can be seen wandering around with nothing to do. The men of most families will not go out to make a living after this year. Boats come and go in the river every day. , the whole place is a prosperous scene.
Boning gradually became familiar with the affairs of the yamen and was able to share most of the errands for Qi Jintang, freeing him up to spend a lot of time with Hehua and his son.
After Qi's mother returned, she quickly sent a dowry list and asked Qi Jintang and He Hua to help with the purchase in the south. Although the waterway in Qingxi County was open, it would not be a temporary success to flourish, so He Hua simply went with it. The person sent the list to Bo Rong and asked him to buy according to the list, and then sail directly from Lingyuan County to the north and send it back to his hometown.
Boning had received Qi Jintang's advice before, and he gradually began to tell He Hua something he had in mind.
Her husband's business affairs are going well, her younger brother is becoming more and more considerate, and her son is also well-behaved and sensible. Apart from the occasional homesickness, Hehua feels that her current life is extremely comfortable. Apart from being a bit homesick, she would not change her life for a god. .
In a blink of an eye, the end of the year came again, and Qi’s mother sent a letter early, saying that although she couldn’t come, the group must not be careless about catching Zhou. Mr. Qi also named his grandson and sealed it in an envelope. Open it again that day.
Tuan Tuan can now call mom and dad very clearly, and the sentences are not yet coherent, but it is no longer a new thing to break up the words one by one. Although many words are still unclear, they are all clear in their hearts. Very, very shrewd, unwilling to suffer at all, and no one can fool him.
Winter has just entered here, and people from the north came to deliver things. He Hua thought it was from the Qi family, but asked Miao'er to bring the people in, only to find that it was actually from his parents. There were two large carts full of things. The entire cart is filled with supplies for children, including clothes, shoes and hats, quilts, cloaks, and other gadgets. The other cart was brought to He Hua and Qi Jintang. They had dried roe deer meat, hare meat, venison, etc., and various pickled vegetables that He Hua loved to eat. There was actually a large vat of Fang's in the back. Homemade pickled sauerkraut…
Hehua looked at the servants moving things in and out. Her nose became sore and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Tuantuan sat on Hehua's lap and saw Hehua crying. He quickly reached out to wipe the tears on her face and said a little unclearly: "Mother, mother... smile..."
Hehua hugged Tuan Tuan and choked with sobs: "Your grandma and grandpa haven't seen you yet. If they see you, they will definitely be very happy and like you."
Tuantuan had never seen Hehua like this before. She was a little frightened. Her big eyes opened wide and her mouth slowly became deflated, as if she was about to cry too.
The wet nurse was anxious but did not dare to go forward to coax her. She was rubbing her hands and spinning in circles when she heard the sound of the door curtain being opened. She quickly turned around and saw that it was Qi Jintang who was back. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to you, grandma. I feel homesick and feel sad inside!"
Qi Jintang hurriedly walked into the back room and saw Hehua hugging Tuantuan and wiping her tears. Her son also looked like he wanted to cry or not. He took two steps forward and picked up his son. After a few words of coaxing, he turned to the wet nurse and then turned away. Looking at the lotus, "What's going on here today?"
When He Hua saw Qi Jintang coming back, she pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her tears with some embarrassment. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my family just sent something over. I feel a little homesick."
Only then did Qi Jintang see the things piled all over the floor. He went over to look through them, then turned back and hugged Hehua and said, "My parents are really thoughtful. They sent these here just to make us happy. Aren't you letting them down by doing this?" A heartfelt thought."
He Hua sighed softly, "I know too, but I have never been away from my parents for so long. Usually I just don't think about them. But now I feel my nose is sore when I think about them. I wish I could see them right away."
"After the New Year, you might as well take a group back." Qi Jintang suddenly said.
Hehua was stunned when she heard it, and asked quickly: "Why do you say that suddenly? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"Master Zhou sent me a letter today, saying that there is a place near the mountains and rivers in Huizhou Prefecture. There are several rows of houses at the foot of the mountain. They don't need to be repaired. They can be lived in as long as they are tidied up. There is a huge open space in front of it. , there is a gentle slope behind, and you can grow your own land. Now the owner there is going back to his hometown in the north, so he wants to make a move. Mr. Zhou asked me if I want to buy it." Qi Jintang said, taking out Mr. Zhou's letter and asking for it. It is said that Mr. Zhou is also a person of good temperament. He likes Qi Jintang and is honest with him. He is also very meticulous in his work. In addition to clearly stating the situation, the letter also drew detailed pictures and general directions.
"Just looking at it like this, it's really good." Hehua read the letter carefully and then picked up the detailed drawing to look at it, "Master Zhou is quite reliable in his work, but I don't know if he has seen it in person or heard it from others. Said."
"So I wrote back and said that I would wait until after the New Year to have a look before making a decision. Just now you said you missed home, and I was thinking, why don't we go to Huizhou Mansion after the New Year to have a look. If we can make a decision, it will happen that you can bring Tuan Tuan back. Home, your dowry is still locked at home. This time, go back and pack up all the things at home. Give away what should be given away and bring what should be brought over. Then you will go directly to Huizhou Mansion to live. Do you like Whatever it looks like, let others take care of it."
He Hua was very moved by Qi Jintang's words. Not counting her nose, she felt less uncomfortable in her heart and her eyes were about to shine.
Qi Jintang pinched her nose in a funny way: "You cry and laugh at the same time, and you are not afraid of your son laughing at you."
"What does he know at such a young age?" When talking about his son, Hehua immediately said sternly, "Tuantuan will be one year old soon. I originally planned to celebrate it with my own family and just have some fun, but my parents both wrote and said that I must Pay attention, I was thinking, how about setting up a few tables for banquets, and just in time before the year, I would invite all the people in the Yamen to liven things up."
Qi Jintang thought for a while and said, "Okay, just look at the arrangement and it should be lively and lively on the first birthday, otherwise others will have to make irresponsible remarks."
There are not as many rules and procedures as there are for the first year of the third year. Everyone comes to give gifts, eat and drink together and listen to the opera. The only highlight is naming and celebrating the week.
Mr. Qi had chosen the name early in the morning. According to the arrangement of Tuantuan's generation, he asked someone to arrange the eight characters, calculated the good and bad luck, and finally decided on it. Qi Jintang opened the envelope at the table, and there were three big characters written inside - Qi Ruiming.
People around him kept saying flattering words such as: "What a good name." "As soon as you hear this name, you will know someone who will do great things."
Finally, a big table was set up in the hall, and a Quanfu woman who had been invited came forward and asked for the things needed for Zhou Zhou, including seals, scriptures from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, pens, ink, paper, Inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys, etc.
Things were placed around the outer edge of the table, and then the wet nurse came out holding the ball and placed it in the middle of the table.
After looking around for a long time, he first crawled towards the food. He didn't seem to like it, then turned around to look at other things. After crawling around for several times, he finally aimed at Qi Jintang's official seal and grabbed it with both hands. He was a little unsteady, so he simply sat down next to him, hugged Guan Yin in his arms, and then smiled at the lotus with a mouth that already had a few small white teeth.
The room was filled with praises, which were nothing more than boasting that Tuantuan would definitely be appointed as the prime minister in the future.
He Hua was noncommittal. He was just joining in the fun to arrest Zhou. Could it be that he really caught him? However, other officials and their wives came up to congratulate him. He Hua responded with a smile, and he was not tired at the end of the day. , only one face smiled sourly.
The Chinese New Year came not long after Tuantuan turned one year old. A year ago, Qian Qingrong came to kowtow to Qi Jintang every now and then, and said he wanted to kowtow to his wife.
Qi Jintang said with a smile: "She is leading Tuan Tuan from behind. I'm afraid she won't have time. As long as you have the heart to do so, I will definitely bring it to you."
Qian Qingrong hesitated to speak, but he also felt that his request to kowtow to Lotus was not appropriate, so he changed his words: "I was injured at the beginning of the year and lived in the house. Thanks to Miss Miao'er's care, I am here today." I want to express my gratitude in person and ask for your permission."
Hehua was actually hiding behind the screen at the moment. Seeing Qian Qingrong coy like this, she almost laughed out loud.
Miao'er stood behind Hehua, feeling ashamed and annoyed. She wished she could go out and say a few words to him, but since both masters were in the room, she could only pouted and complained in her heart about this idiot Qian Qingrong, who couldn't even say a word. It's not easy to say.
Qian Qingrong really contributed a lot to the heavy rain at the beginning of the year. Later he was promoted to the head catcher. He worked diligently and never did anything fishy in private. Today's matter was originally Hehua's idea. Qi Jintang was still He was kinder than Hehua. Seeing that he was really embarrassed at this moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What are you thinking? We have all seen it for the past six months. It's just that we have seen it for most of the year. , Miaoer is not the girl next to me. Even if I want to help you, I have to have my wife nod. As for how to get your wife to nod, it depends on your ability."
"It's true, I wanted to hear more of what he said in his heart, but I revealed it so quickly." After saying this, Hehua led Miao'er out from behind the screen, smiled and sat down next to Qi Jintang, and rushed Qian Qingrong, who was below, said, "Since you are sincere in kowtowing to me for the New Year, I can't hold back the money. Now that the New Year is coming soon, if you have anything to say, you must seize the opportunity."
"Kowtow to Madam, little one..." As soon as Qian Qingrong saw Miao'er, his mind became even more knotted, and he stammered and couldn't say a whole sentence.
Seeing this, Miao'er stamped her feet and said, "You... you can't even speak well!"
He Hua laughed so much that she leaned on the Kang table. She looked at Qian Qingrong and Miao'er below, both of whom were blushing. She finally stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I don't care about you and Miao'er." Of course, after seeing your character and behavior for the past six months, I can still rest assured. I will leave Miao'er to you. I don't want anything else from you. As long as you say a word, you must be good to Miao'er from now on, otherwise you will be regarded as a master. If you and I are no longer in Qingxi Town, I will come back to settle accounts with you."
Qian Qingrong was pinched by Miao'er behind him, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, knelt down and said: "Master, grandma, I have no relatives in the world. I am only like this because I don't dislike you." It's a good job. Now that my term is coming soon, I don't have anything else to think about. I just want to follow you from now on, whether it's as a servant or a nurse. I don't dare to say that I have any abilities, but I also know the word loyalty. .”
"Hey, you're not very talkative." He Huaxiao looked at Miao'er, thinking that it was Miao'er who taught him privately. Unexpectedly, Miao'er's face was also full of surprise and touch, as if it was the first time he heard these words.
"It's good that you have such a heart. It's not a bad thing to want to follow me, but you have to think clearly about it. After I leave office and resign, I will become an ordinary citizen. If you follow me, you might as well become a common man now. Head arrest has the power and prestige." Qi Jintang said seriously.
"The little one is not a ungrateful person. He also knows that his current status depends on my support, and, and... and Miao'er also said that she can't live without grandma... so the little one is willing to follow me and grandma all the time." Qian Although Qingrong people are honest, they are not stupid. Even in dramas, I have heard such words as "Emperor and Courtier". Now I am promoted by Qi Jintang. When the county magistrate changes next year, I still don't know what the situation will be like. He was alone, so it would be better for the couple to follow Qi Jintang.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qi Jintang said no more, smiled and nodded: "I have always liked people like you who are down-to-earth and hard-working. Since you have such thoughts and have thought everything clearly, then I am naturally happy. "
Qian Qingrong was very happy to receive Qi Jintang's promise, and then turned to look at the lotus.
He Hua smiled and pointed at Miao'er who was worried at the side and said: "If you don't stay in college, my heart will run away with you. What else can I keep? I just have to find a good day tomorrow and ask someone to come to propose marriage." "
Years later, Qi Jintang took Hehua to Huizhou Prefecture and saw the fields and houses that Mr. Zhou mentioned.
Because it was still winter, the carriage was driving into the mountains, and everything in sight was desolate.
The carriage drove along a relatively smooth mountain road and entered a wooden gate.
