Yu Jingqiu smiled gently, she really couldn't bear to refuse, hesitated and nodded, "Okay, but you can't run around, stay in the tent honestly." ”

Yu Jingxiang cheered: "I'll go get the quilt." After saying that, he ran into the house and flipped around.

Lu Xiaohui cleaned up the table, brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Yu Jingqiu and said, "Sister, drink water." ”

Yu Jingqiu took the water cup, handed it to Tong Xinlan, and began to look at this well-behaved and lovely brother-in-law, she couldn't understand that her family's life was not rich, how could her brother marry such a good daughter-in-law.

Lu Xiaohui was a little embarrassed by Yu Jingqiu, and lowered her head uneasily to fiddle with the corners of her clothes, Tong Xinlan pulled Xiaohui to sit down, and the mother and daughter chatted about their original experience.

Lu Xiaohui is a distant relative of Yu Zhan's cousin's family, her parents were killed by Japanese robbers, and she was helpless and lonely, and was later taken over by Yu Zhan's cousin as a granddaughter.

Needless to say, Lu Xiaohui and Yu Qingfeng, two childhood sweethearts, grew up together since childhood, fell in love for a long time, and finally became husband and wife.

Xiaohui is as gentle and virtuous as her name, whether it is to treat Yu Qingfeng or Yu Zhan and his wife, just like his own biological father and mother, impeccable, and very diligent, laundry and cooking, chopping wood and fire, and taking on most of the housework, the only regret is that Xiaohui and Yu Qingfeng have not had a son and a half daughter to inherit the incense after being married for a few years.

Speaking of this, Yu Qingfeng relieved Xiaohui and said: "Mother, don't say it, Xiaohui and I will have children in the future." ”

Tong Xinlan nodded vigorously: "Well, there will definitely be." Then, he looked at Yu Jingqiu again: "Jingqiu, how have you come over all these years?" Have you started a family? ”

Yu Jingqiu's face was slightly red: "Mother, I don't want to marry yet." Then, without waiting for Tong Xinlan to speak, she changed the topic and talked about her experience over the years.

At the beginning, Yu Jingqiu said very plainly, Tong Xinlan and they could hear that Yu Jingqiu suffered a lot when she was a maid, and later, Yu Jingqiu casually brought about the resale of the Qinglou, and directly talked about the experience after joining the army, especially after following Yuan Fang, Yu Jingqiu's face was full of happiness.

After listening to Yu Jingqiu's story for a long time, Tong Xinlan took Yu Jingqiu's hand and asked quietly: "Jingqiu, do you like Lord Yuan?" ”

Yu Jingqiu was ashamed when she heard this, and quickly denied it: "How can there be? I'm my brother-in-law's bodyguard, so of course I'll have to follow him. Tong Xinlan smiled faintly, and did not say anything, but sighed secretly in her heart, from Yu Jingqiu's description, she already knew how noble Yuan Fang was, although she felt that her daughter was also very good, but the gap between the two was still as insurmountable as a chasm.

Yu Jingqiu thought of one thing and asked tentatively: "Mother, you can go back to the imperial capital with me." ”

Tong Xinlan was stunned for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes of Yu Qingfeng and Yu Jingxiang, hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to ask your father about this." Yu Jingqiu frowned slightly.

Tong Xinlan sighed and said: "Jingqiu, I know you are not happy, we really couldn't help it back then, your father also knew that he was sorry for you, and then we came here, my cousin borrowed some silver from us, and your father didn't rest, so he ran to find Hong's mother overnight to get you back, but Hong's mother was no longer in the original inn, and your father looked for a whole month before coming back, and later, your father would go to the city once a month, just to get you back, and it has been like this all these years." I don't know if you remember, your dad used to like to drink the most, he would drink a glass at every meal, after that, your dad never drank again, one day your dad told me that he was going to save the money for drinking, and when he found you one day, he would bring you back. ”

Yu Qingfeng continued: "I know this, my father has a money jar, buried under the poplar tree in the backyard, has been reluctant to move, a few years ago my father suffered from the cold, very sick, my mother wanted to take the silver to ask the doctor, but what my father said was unwilling, and then I and my mother ran a long way to pick herbs and came back to my father." ”

Yu Jingqiu was moved in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she took Tong Xinlan's hand and said, "Mother, I know, my little sister has already told me just now, I don't hate my father, if it were me, I would do the same." Tong Xinlan smiled with satisfaction. Yu Qingfeng opened his mouth and asked: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, uh, is it true that Lord Yuan said that he will leave early tomorrow morning?" ”

Yu Jingqiu looked at where Yuan Fang's tent was, and said with a wry smile: "It's good that he can get up at noon tomorrow." ”

Tong Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that her daughter would leave early tomorrow morning, they had just met, and they still had a lot to say, and they didn't want to separate again: "Qingfeng, go and call your father up." Of course, Yu Qingfeng knew why, and agreed to run into the house in a hurry. Huo Bingyan and Lin Menghan came over with a few gift boxes: "Auntie, this is a gift from Sister Jingqiu." ”

Tong Xinlan stood up and said with a gentle smile: "You are the good sisters Jingqiu said, thank you for taking care of Jingqiu all these years." ”

Huo Bingyan introduced herself and said: "I am Huo Bingyan, she is Lin Menghan, aunt, it's not us who take care of Sister Jingqiu, it's Sister Jingqiu who has been taking care of us." ”

Tong Xinlan saw that Huo Bingyan and Lin Menghan got along very well, and they didn't have the high and unapproachable people who had seen those big people before, so she took the initiative to hold the hands of the two and ask for warmth, Sang Rou and Jieyue also felt quite good about Tong Xinlan, and several people quickly found a topic to chat.

During the conversation, Huo Bingyan found that Tong Xinlan was not as vulgar as an ordinary country woman, she spoke gently and elegantly, and her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, more like a young lady from a big family, and later learned that as conjecture, Tong Xinlan's maiden family is also well-known in Dongzhou, although it can't be compared with those rich people, but the family is also wealthy, and the Yu family was also a little wealthy at that time, but after Yu Zhan and Tong Xinlan got married, there was a big war in Dongzhou, and the industries of the two families were looted by the army of the Ningyuan Empire, and since then the family has fallen into decline. These, even Yu Jingqiu didn't know.

The fire was extinguished, it was getting colder and colder outside, Yu Jingqiu's family entered the house, Huo Bingyan and Lin Menghan returned to the camp, and Huo Bingyan and the others got together, while being happy for Yu Jingqiu, while discussing their tomorrow's affairs.

The so-called camp is the backyard and the street outside the front yard that Yu Jingqiu and they added, Zhong Mingde invited them to live in his house temporarily, and their house has enough space, but Yuan Fang refused.

The night was getting deeper, and the north wind was howling, blowing the tent to shake from side to side, and Yuan Fang was woken up and it was convenient to get up.

I lifted my pants, saw that the oil lamp in the room was still on, rubbed my eyes and asked, "What time is it?" Why hasn't Jingqiu's family slept yet? ”
