Qiu Keyin was wearing a simple Republic of China student uniform, a blue shirt, a black midi skirt, and a pair of cloth shoes. She was happily jumping on the uneven bluestone road.
The two walked through an alley and arrived at a spacious street. This was a crossroads with teahouses and restaurants. On Qin Xuan's left hand side, about fifty meters away, there was a majestic gate with this sign on it.
——'Autumn Mansion'.
"Wow."
Looking at Qiu Keyin's house, Qin Xuan felt that it seemed to be more modern than his. Putting the two together, it was like the difference between a young entrepreneur and a century-old store. Of course, it's not about financial resources, it's just about
It gives people the feeling that the Qiu family has more of a big family heritage.
"Brother Qin is here, this is my home." Qiu Keyin let go of Qin Xuan's hand, then stepped forward and opened the door. There was no housekeeper in the Qiu family, so he just opened the door casually: "Mom! Mom, look
Who is coming!"
As soon as Qin Xuan crossed the threshold, he heard Qiu Keyin's melodious oriole-like call. This made Qin Xuan feel inexplicably embarrassed. He looked behind him and found that there were not many people on the spacious snow-white avenue, so he quickly
He closed the two doors: 'I feel a little ashamed, but fortunately no one heard me.'
"What does it look like to be shouting and screaming!"
At this time, a mature woman wearing a blue dress who looked less than thirty years old came out. She first glared at Qiu Keyin, then saw the latter sticking out her tongue naughtily, and then looked at Qin Xuan
, it was also at this moment that the woman trembled all over, and there was a slight tear in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed this feeling: "Are you here?"
The woman's voice was very soft and slightly hoarse. She stared blankly at Qin Xuan's face. The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made her feel a little sad in her nostalgia.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Qiu Kuiyu then realized that Qin Xuan was their guest: "Come in quickly and sit in the room."
The layout of the Qiu family's house is very similar to that of the Qin Xuan family. They are two-story buildings connected by cornices and corridors. The only difference from the Qin Xuan family is that the decoration of the Qiu family is relatively simple. Although there are lights and other things,
It always gives Qin Xuan the feeling of being in a TV series.
Qin Xuan was sitting on the guest's seat, and soon saw Qiu Kuiyu walking in with tea. Qin Xuan quickly stood up: "Auntie, I can do it myself."
"It's okay," Qiu Kuiyu said with a smile, "You are a guest."
"Then, thank you."
Qin Xuan was a little cautious, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was his first time to be a guest at someone else's house, and it was also his first time to see Autumn Sunflower. However, Qin Xuan's impression of Autumn Sunflower was very good, gentle, elegant, and generous.
, and the appearance is also quite stunning, but the beauty of okra rain is dignified, which prevents evil thoughts from happening in life.
"Did you just call me aunt?"
"Forehead..."
Otherwise, if Qiu Keyin’s mother is called Auntie, what’s the problem?
Should I call her sister?
It’s a bit scary!
Qin Xuan: "I...didn't I call it right?"
"Of course not!" Qiu Kuiyu said with a smile: "Your father and I are brothers and sisters. Although it is a bit strange for you to call me aunt, there is nothing wrong with it."
Qin Xuan heard about the relationship between Qin Qixian and Qiu Kuiyu from Mr. Qiu. He remembered that when Qin Shouan passed away, Qin Xuan's father was only five or six years old. At this age, even in the world of demon painters,
An ignorant child, Mr. Qiu was the one who adopted Qin Qixian and protected him from growing up safely while being surrounded by foreign powers.
Mr. Qiu is Qin Moshan's favorite disciple and has received a lot of care from him, so Mr. Qiu respects Qin Moshan very much.
However, when Qin Moshan died, Mr. Qiu was unable to go to worship due to the situation. This has always been an unknown pain for Mr. Qiu. Later, Mr. Qiu became Qin Wuya's teacher and always supported his policies during Qin Wuya's lifetime.
, Qin Shouan was also a student of Mr. Qiu. As for the last Qin Qixian, he regarded him as his biological son and loved him even more than his eldest son Qiu Chongbo. This incident also made Qiu Chongbo have a feeling for his father when he was young.
dissatisfied.
The family relationship between the Qiu family and the Qin family is really extraordinary. Qin Xuan's father, grandfather, and grandpa Zeng were all students of Mr. Qiu.
Moreover, Qin Wuya and Qin Shouan also lived in the Qiu family for many years when they were young, so in the world of the demon painter, Qin Qiu has never been separated from the family.
"Aunt Qiu," Qin Xuan asked, "Follow me..."
Qin Xuan knew that Mr. Qiu was originally going to betroth Qiu Kuiyu to his father, and that they were childhood sweethearts, but it had been so many years. Qin Xuan was also worried that Qiu Kuiyu would hate him, but
Now it seems that Qiu Kui Yu not only does not hate Qin Xuan, but actually loves Wu Ji Wu and is quite fond of him.
Qiu Kuiyu guessed what Qin Xuan wanted to ask, and she said bluntly: "I almost became your mother."
Qin Xuan: "..."
"Um, Aunt Qiu," Qin Xuan felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Is it really okay for you to be so direct? "I heard that the Qiu family is a scholarly family."
"That's right."
Qin Xuan: "Then, are you too direct?"
You had to at least cover it up, but you didn't mince words at all, you just said it!
"I was just joking," Qiu Kuiyu said with a smile, "Are you serious?"
"Forehead..."
"But I have a really good relationship with Qi Xian, and," Qiu Kuiyu gently touched Qin Xuan's forehead and said with emotion, "You really look like Qi Xian."
"Sorry, I lost my temper." Without waiting for Qin Xuan's reaction, Qiu Kuiyu quickly took the tray and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she said: "Don't be so restrained, just treat this place as your own home." After that, Qiu Kuiyu said
Yu then walked out, leaving only Qin Xuan who didn't understand.
After a while, Qiu Keyin appeared outside the door. She quietly poked her head in and made sure no one was inside before walking in.
Qin Xuan looked at her actions and felt a little funny for no reason: "I said, this is your home, why is it like being a thief?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing my mother's good things?"
Qin Xuan: "..."
'Are you hinting at me? You must be hinting at me!'
"What else belongs to your family and mine?" Qiu Keyin sat on the seat next to Qin Xuan: "Grandpa said, brother Qin, your family grew up here starting from Qin Wuya's generation. Brother Qin, you
Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"This is your hometown!" Qiu Keyin said: "So many generations of people spent their childhood here, and only went out to explore when they grew up. According to my grandfather, this is the return of fallen leaves to their roots!"
What Qiu Keyin said is actually correct.
The Qiu family has taken care of the Qin family for so many generations, and Qin Xuan is back here again. It does feel like a wanderer returning to his hometown, like a fallen leaf returning to his roots.
"Brother Qin, why don't you leave and just stay here."
Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "So your purpose is here!"
"Don't refuse so quickly. Everything is negotiable!" Unfortunately, no matter what Qiu Keyin said behind him, Qin Xuan just walked out and started walking in the yard. To be honest, Qin Xuan was also very
He wanted to know what the place where so many generations of his ancestors spent their childhood was like, and Qiu Keyin on the side also acted as a guide, introducing every corner of the Qiu family mansion to Qin Xuan.
And in another corner of the Qiu family's house that Qin Xuan and Qiu Keyin didn't know, in a quiet room, a silver-haired woman was sitting at the desk, opening a small box that had been dusty for many years, stuffed in the box.
The envelopes are full. These were sent back by Qin Wuya and Qin Shouan who left here that year.
"I have read every letter here countless times." The silver-haired woman looked at every word in the letter, whether it was anger, sadness, helplessness, or fear. She could feel the emotions of the two children when they wrote the letter.
Mood: "Every time I look at them, it seems as if Wuya and Shuan are still with us."
Qin Wuya's age is not much different from that of Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu is only thirty years older than him. He was persecuted because of Qin Moshan and was only less than forty years old when he adopted Qin Wuya in the year of Qiu.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Qin Wuya left, Qin Shouan also passed away, and Qin Qixian, who had been waiting for him, would never come back.
"It's a pity that there is no letter from Qin Qixian..."
Listening to his wife's words and feeling the grief in her heart, Mr. Qiu, who was standing behind her, put his hand on her shoulder: "Qi Xian failed to send the letter back, but his child is back."
"I know." The figure of the silver-haired woman gradually faded. She gently placed her hand on Mr. Qiu's hand, and finally turned into a dot of silver light and disappeared into the study: "We have met him together...
."
The silver-haired woman is Mr. Qiu's destiny, but compared to those demon painters who are competitive and like to fight and kill, Mr. Qiu, who has always been known to the world as a scholar, what kind of existence is his destiny?
No one knows, not even his biological son Qiu Chongbo, nor Qin Xuan's ancestors who have been fostered in the Qiu family for three generations.
They have all seen the silver-haired woman, and they also know that the silver-haired woman is Mr. Qiu's life and wife, but what kind of mountain and sea beast she is and what kind of power she has, maybe no one will ever know.
Mr. Qiu doesn't need to fight, so her power may not be used until death.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, wait for me, over there? That's my grandpa's study over there," just as he was talking, Qiu Keyin suddenly saw Mr. Qiu: "Um, grandpa, are you there?"
"What are these words? What does it mean that I am here!"
Mr. Qiu didn't care about Qiu Keyin's words. He rubbed his granddaughter's head and then saw Qin Xuan: "This is our first meeting, boy Xuan."
"Uh, ha, it's true, old man."
Although Mr. Qiu is often slapped in the face by Qin Xuan, he is not really pedantic. In other words, Mr. Qiu actually enjoys being slapped in the face by Qin Xuan, which gives him the illusion of being a grandson.
