In the past, in the Xia family, although the old couple of the Xia family did not deliberately treat them harshly, they did not live well.
For example, when it comes to food and clothing, the couple themselves don't usually eat meat, so they only make one or two sets of clothes a year, and the money they save is used for Xia Junkai's exams. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xia Qingqing to live a good life.
But when we got here, when Chu Yunli was preparing clothes for the child, she also bought five or six sets of clothes for Xia Qingqing. Even winter clothes were prepared. There were meat and vegetables for every meal, and everything used was new. Not only that.
In this way, when Chu Yunli took her out for a walk, he would also help her buy some toys. Snacks and candies were provided almost every day. This was something she had never done until she was seven years old.
This kid is sensible. After listening to Sister-in-law Zhang's advice to Chu Yunli to save money, he ate snacks at first, and then only ate a few pieces a day, so he didn't have to buy them every day.
Chu Yunli was more and more pleased that Xia Qingqing was sensible. Seeing that she stayed at home all day with nothing to do, and sometimes went to cook with Sister-in-law Zhang, he took her out to the embroidery building to buy some embroidery thread.
Children all like bright colors, and Xia Qingqing likes embroidery very much. Chu Yunli looked at it with a smile, and suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and a stream of heat flowed out, "Sister-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Zhang ran out of the kitchen. After seeing the water stains at Chu Yunli's feet, she hurriedly turned around and went out to find the neighbors next door, asking them to invite Po Wen.
Xia Qingqing was a little frightened. Chu Yunli touched her hair and said, "Don't be afraid, mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for you."
From afternoon to late night, a loud cry of a baby could be heard in the yard.
Mother and child are safe.
Chu Yunli gave birth to a boy. In his previous life, this child died before Lin Liqiu was born. He didn't even have a chance to be born in the world.
After giving birth to a child, she was in confinement. Fifty taels of silver was still a lot of money to spend. Chu Yunli hurried to settle down and then went shopping, spending ten taels. From then on, the mother and son were fed and clothed, but she had nothing.
If you do it, you don't have to be careful, it will take at least three to five years.
Besides, even if she was penniless, she wouldn't starve herself, so Chu Yunli was very generous with her money, and even asked Sister-in-law Zhang to buy some medicinal materials and make a medicinal diet to replenish her body.
The newborn baby is bright red. When it is almost full moon, the baby becomes white, fat and very cute.
That day, Sister-in-law Zhang came back from shopping for groceries. She smiled and said goodbye to the aunt next door. After entering the door, she saw the mother and daughter under the eaves. She immediately said, "Why are you out? You can't blow the wind during confinement. You will suffer a lot in the future. Hurry up."
Go in."
Chu Yunli took special care of her body after giving birth. Although she hasn't recovered internally yet, she seems to be in good spirits. She hasn't gone out much or worked much since she got here. The skin on her hands and face is much whiter and more delicate.
Not only did she not go in, she also followed her to the kitchen door. She watched Sister-in-law Zhang taking out the meat and vegetables she had bought, and asked, "What were Sister-in-law and Auntie talking about just now?"
"Oh." Sister-in-law Zhang originally wanted to tell her the price of some meat and vegetables so that she could know more about it. When she heard her asking this, she said with great interest, "Our Jinshi who won the title of Yucheng is back. I heard that this time Yu
Three of them were captured in the city, and Lord Zhizhou was going to host a banquet for them and Yu Chengzhi. When we went to buy vegetables, they picked out all the good ones. Today’s food is a bit expensive..."
This place is very close to the Yamen, and buying too much from the Yamen will indeed have some impact. Chu Yunli asked casually, "I heard that some people who passed the Jinshi examination did not go back to their hometowns and went directly to their posts. Have all three come back?"
Sister-in-law Zhang paused and said hesitantly, "I don't know." Seeing that Chu Yunli seemed particularly interested in this matter, she immediately said, "I will ask you tomorrow."
Seeing that Chu Yunli was deep in thought, Sister-in-law Zhang took a piece of meat and hesitated to speak, but said, "If you only have a dowry, will eating like this cost you all your money? You still have two children..."
"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "No, my parents will probably come find me."
Sister-in-law Zhang stopped talking immediately. A woman with a generous dowry must come from a good family. She was just made like this by her husband's family. But after a month of raising her, her skin became much whiter, and she looked like a woman in her early twenties.
She was raised so well, so her parents probably didn't know the hardships she endured... Sister-in-law Zhang was thinking that when she saw her parents, she would talk to them and seek justice.
That night, Chu Yunli went out and went to the Houya. It was already late at night and there was almost no one on the street. She stood at the entrance of the alley outside the Houya, listening to the people inside saying goodbye.
During this period, there was Xia Junkai's voice.
There was some distance from the gate to the alley. I heard someone asking, "Brother Xia, why are you in such a hurry? In two days, Master Zhizhou wants to invite us to meet the master below. Once we step into the official career, we can't
If you are too upright, you still have to see the people you should see."
The latter sentence was made in a deliberately lowered voice, which meant something more subtle.
Another voice sounded, "Cousin, Brother Chen is right. I also think you should stay a few more days. My cousins are doing well at home. With uncle and the others watching, nothing will happen to them."
Xia Junkai's voice came immediately, "I know, but Li Qiu is going to give birth, maybe she has already given birth, and I want to go back and be with her."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli covered her chest and felt extremely happy. This was Lin Liqiu's emotion.
Thinking of something, she turned around and left.
While the three of them were talking, they had already reached the entrance of the alley.
It was autumn, and the moon was as cold as water. A woman flew away quickly. The three of them were startled at first. When Xia Junkai saw the familiar figure, he subconsciously called out, "The beginning of autumn?"
In fact, he couldn't see clearly under the moonlight. The woman was just similar in body shape, but the way she walked was actually different from his wife. His wife would never walk so fast. Not to mention those two people, even Xia Junkai himself felt that he was drunk.
Too many mistaken identities.
After hearing those words, Chu Yunli knew that there must be something wrong with the letter Xia Junkai sent back. But if she wanted to know who was behind it, it would not be appropriate for her to come forward now.
This problem is actually very simple. If it is not the man's original intention to drive his wife away and marry another, then it should be someone else's. As long as the mother and son do not show up, someone should come out to protect the matchmaker. That person will come out.
, is probably the mastermind behind it.
However, if it was not Xia Junkai's original intention, Lin Liqiu's mother and son would be too miserable.
She avoided people along the way, and her room was always lit with candles. When she opened the door, she saw Xia Qingqing sitting on the bed with her baby in her arms. When he saw her coming in, he was immediately happy, "Mom, where have you been?"
Chu Yunli's face didn't change, "I'm going to the hut."
She was not yet one month old, so she didn't go out for the rest of the year. Apart from taking care of her children, she taught Xia Qingqing embroidery. Her life was quite comfortable.
…
Seeing that woman, Xia Junkai missed his wife and children even more. Early the next morning, he rented a carriage with his cousin Yin Changle and headed to Baihua Town.
But no matter how fast they passed, they had to go in and pay a visit to the county magistrate when passing by the county seat, which was delayed for another day. The cousins set off again, traveling all night, and when they returned to Baihua Town, it was already seven days later in the evening.
It was getting dark, so Yin Changle invited Xia Junkai to stay at home for one night to have some rest before returning the next day.
Xia Junkai drove frantically all the way, not wanting to delay even a quarter of an hour. But when he arrived in the town, he felt a little nervous again. Seeing that he was covered in dust, he went to Yin's house. He planned to wash up, sleep for a night, and then go back after feeling refreshed.
Home!
After washing up, Xia Junkai lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all. Listening to the chirping of insects outside, he felt anxious, so he simply turned over and sat up, knocked on the coachman's door, and went home overnight.
The moonlight was cold, but Xia Junkai was in a particularly happy mood. He opened the curtain and looked at the scenery on the roadside. The town was only a quarter of an hour away from the village by horse-drawn carriage. Before the horse-drawn carriage reached the entrance of the village, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the village.
, Xia Junkai felt extremely cordial in his ears, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and his chest was full of excitement: Dad, Mom, Beginning of Autumn, I have lived up to my expectations and am back!
As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of Xia's house, Xia Junkai immediately jumped out of the carriage and reached out to knock on the door.
Not long after, the candlelight in the main room was lit. Mrs. Zhou opened the door and came out. Under the moonlight, she saw a carriage parked at the door. She still recognized the carriage of her sister-in-law's house. She hurriedly went to open the door. When she saw her son in a long gown at the door,
At that moment, his eyes were hot, "Junkai, are you back?"
He reached out to touch his face again and shouted loudly, "His father, Junkai is back."
After a few breaths, Xia's father also put on his clothes and stood up. He was probably in a hurry and put on his shoes backwards, but he didn't care and said happily, "My son is back?"
The family had a reunion. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was enthusiastic. During this period, Xia Junkai looked at the wing where he lived several times, and saw that the candles in the room were still not lit. He felt a little uneasy, "Mom, is Li Qiu giving birth?"
Mrs. Zhou stared at him in surprise, and then looked at each other with Father Xia.
After a long while, Xia's father hesitated and said, "Didn't you say that you want to marry another wife? Let us drive her away..."
a bolt from the blue!
Xia Junkai looked solemn and said, "Dad, don't be ridiculous."
"I'm not kidding!" Xia's father hurried in and quickly turned over a pile of papers. "What you wrote here said that an official career requires a strong in-law's family. In the future, you will marry another wife. Let's hurry up and marry her."
Send Qingqing away..."
Xia Junkai's vision went dark and he fainted.
Tired from traveling for days, Xia Junkai fell ill due to great joy and sadness.
Because of his illness, the Xia family also knew their son's intentions, and started blaming each other, "I'm just saying that Junkai is so obsessed with his daughter-in-law that he would give up his studies just to have a child for her. How could he drive her away?"
Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that she asked, "Didn't you decide to let her go? Ms. Lin did the same. Her aunt had obviously agreed with us to send her to the next town, but she wants to run away on her own. Where can she find her now?"
Xia Junkai only lay in bed for one day before he got sick. He first read the letter carefully, then grabbed it and went to Lin's house. He carefully asked Lin's mother about the situation at that time and what his wife had left behind. He really had no clue.
Seeing that he was asking carefully and looking pale, Mother Lin became uneasy and said, "She said she was going to pick you up. Didn't you guys meet her? What happened?"
Xia Junkai's lips moved. He really couldn't say what he said about his parents driving out their daughter-in-law and seven-year-old granddaughter who were about to give birth. Besides, the furthest place the Lin family went was the town, so saying it would only make the Lin family worried.
That's all.
"It's nothing, I'll go find her." Xia Junkai looked serious, "I came back in a hurry and forgot the place we agreed on. I'll go pick her up."
