This time I went back and packed a lot of luggage. I basically brought everything I bought after arriving in Fucheng.
The main thing is that there is nothing to throw away. The child's clothes and swaddling clothes are all fine muslin. Xia Qingqing's several sets of clothes, except for two sets of muslin clothes, the rest are bright silk shirts that the little girl likes, and there are even two sets of clothes.
A small cloak made of satin is not cheap.
Looking at these things, Xia Junkai was thoughtful.
He was a frugal person and couldn't take it away, so he gave it to Sister-in-law Zhang and the aunt next door. He packed three big bags inside and outside, and even found a carriage to pick him up at home.
The walk was not fast. When the child cried, he would get off the carriage and wait for Chu Yunli to finish feeding the child before continuing.
Since they had already met with the officials in the county town, the two of them quietly passed through Baihua Town and returned home without disturbing anyone.
As soon as the carriage entered the village, the village became lively. As soon as the luggage was unloaded, many people came to the house. They were all members of the Xia family and close relatives. They all congratulated him.
An hour later, the old couple of the Xia family rushed back from the town.
Chu Yunli made the bed in the house, probably knowing that Xia Junkai was coming back to live, so the house was specially cleaned. She gave the child to Xia Qingqing, who was sitting next to her. Mrs. Zhou entered the door and came forward with a smile, "You're so good.
Sun Yo..."
Reaching out to hug her, Xia Qingqing was a little nervous. She had not forgotten the scene when the old couple chased her and her mother away, so she subconsciously called, "Mom!"
Mrs. Zhou had already hugged the baby without any explanation, with a smile on her face. When she saw the clothes inside the baby's baby, she frowned and said, "I prepared so much, but you left them all behind." She looked at the things in the room.
A baggage, "How much money will it cost to buy these..."
Chu Yunli turned back and looked at her indifferently, "People are more important than money. If I hadn't escaped and had to guard those two bags of luggage, I would have been dead."
"Nonsense!" Ms. Zhou said with a look of disbelief, "Qingqing and her grandson are both from the Xia family, how could your aunt do anything to you?"
Chu Yunli sneered, "Your son is still young, how much blood can't he produce?"
These words were so vulgar that Zhou's face turned red with anger. She looked outside and reminded, "Now... you should pay attention to your words and deeds!"
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously and concentrated on making the bed. She wasn't so rude to everyone, "Everyone knows the attitude of the Yin family towards me, and they can't be fooled by it without mentioning it."
My daughter-in-law has always been docile. When has she ever been so rude?
Zhou was so angry that she turned around and found her son standing at the door, "Junkai, look at her?"
Xia Junkai entered the door and carefully took the swaddling clothes, "Mom, there are so many guests, you go and greet them first."
Seeing her son's cold expression, Mrs. Zhou felt embarrassed. Before going out, she still said unwillingly, "Junkai, we will drive them away because we read your letter."
Chu Yunli made the bed, turned around and said, "Ask yourself in your conscience, don't you hope that he really doesn't want me?"
His thoughts were revealed, and Mr. Zhou was speechless.
Originally, if the two of them had some affection for their daughter-in-law and loved their granddaughter, they would send her to Zhou's parents' house or rent a yard in the next town to settle down. After the child was born and Xia Junkai came back, it was time to send her off.
, it is better than leaving it to the Yin family to settle down.
Lin Liqiu has lived for more than twenty years, and the farthest place she has traveled is the town. Where should she go?
Forcing people like this, if it weren't for the child in his belly and Xia Qingqing beside him, Lin Liqiu might have hanged himself with a rope after going out.
Chu Yunli reached out to pick up the baby, "Put it on the bed for me. Don't hold the baby when he's asleep. If you develop a habit in the future, you won't be able to let go."
Xia Junkai watched her take the child to the bed, carefully cover her with a quilt, and then go to the table to pour some water, her movements gentle.
He moved his mouth, as if he had something to ask. But he suddenly turned around and left, his feet moving so fast that it seemed like he was running away. Before going out, his fingers seemed to press the corners of his eyes.
In the next few days, the Xia family was very lively. Not only people from the town, but also guests from the county and prefectures came, and the room was filled with congratulatory gifts. Not many people mentioned Lin Liqiu.
Xia Junkai said at the beginning that he had made an appointment with his wife to wait in Fucheng before he left, but when he came back because it had been so long and he was so anxious to return, he forgot about her, so he went to pick her up later.
As for why he waited for more than 20 days... he explained that the child was too young and should not travel around.
This explanation actually makes no sense at all. How can there be any reason for his wife, who is about to give birth, to take the child alone and rush to Fucheng to wait for his return?
You know, when Xia Junkai set out on his journey, he had already discovered that his wife was one month pregnant.
But when he said this, no one was ignorant to get to the bottom of it. On the contrary, many people praised him for his deep love and never leaving his wife even after he became rich.
The Lin family came over once on the day Chu Yunli came back and brought them the things they had prepared for the child, as well as eggs and old hens to replenish Lin Liqiu's health. Seeing that she was safe, they felt relieved.
However, Mother Lin asked her in private, and Chu Yunli still said the same thing. She went to pick up Xia Junkai, but she missed it.
On the day of ancestor worship, it started to rain lightly in the morning, but the clan members were in high spirits and were not affected at all. A group of people went to the clan temple to pay their respects to their ancestors. All the Xia family members were there, and there were more than a dozen tables set up.
After this wave, things finally calmed down at home.
It was at this time that the Yin family came to the door.
Speaking of which, they haven't been here yet, and it was Xia Junkai who said hello to Xia's father and told the Yin family not to come. Otherwise, don't blame him for not giving the Yin family face in front of others.
In this way, the Yin family waited for the Xia family to be busy before they dared to come to the door.
Mr. Xia is in his forties, dressed in rose-red clothes, and is quite wealthy. This time, Yin Changle made a lot of money from the goods he brought from the capital.
The atmosphere in the room was awkward. Xia coughed and looked at Chu Yunli, "It was the same at Liqiu. I had already planned to send you to the next town to give birth. Why did you sneak away on your own? This caused Junkai's birth.
I'm so angry... I haven't calmed down yet, Li Qiu, please help me explain."
Chu Yunli sneered, "I was an abandoned woman kicked out by the Xia family at that time. Why do I have the nerve to trouble you?"
Xia Junkai couldn't hear this and immediately said, "No, Li Qiu will always be my wife." He looked at the Yin family, "Don't think that I can get away with this matter just because I found Li Qiu. I will investigate carefully. If you let me
I know you have intentions of causing harm, and I will never let you go!"
The Yin family's father and son looked grim, and Mrs. Xia frowned, "Junkai, what are you talking about? We are a family..."
Xia Junkai said solemnly, "You hurt my wife and children, and want to destroy my family. You are my enemies!"
"Get out!"
Xia was stunned, "But..."
Xia Junkai stood up and said in a deep voice, "If you don't leave, I will go to the Yamen immediately after returning to Beijing to sue someone for replacing the family letters of the new Jinshi for their own selfish purposes, which almost caused the tragic deaths of my wife and children!"
Yin Changle looked bad, "Cousin, I'm doing this for your own good."
Xia Junkai didn't hesitate, "I'm already very good, I can't do anything wrong to you!"
"roll!"
His aura was so terrifying that the old couple of the Xia family, who were already in the wrong, did not dare to intercede.
Xia wanted to talk more, but Yin Changle pulled her back and said, "Mom, stop talking." When they exchanged letters, he went to the inn in person.
At that time, he thought everything was safe. Men are all lustful. If a noble girl has been raised to have white skin and beauty, wouldn't she be prettier than the yellow-faced woman at home? Even if Xia Junkai couldn't bear to leave his wife and children, when he came back, his wife and children were gone. For Xia Junkai,
Family, it is impossible for him not to marry a wife. Since he is married, he will definitely marry a girl from a noble family. No matter what, he can achieve his goal!
However, he never expected that something would happen to his family. Lin Liqiu, a woman, was not only not dead, but also alive and well. What was even more unexpected was that Xia Junkai was really reluctant to let go of the yellow-faced woman.
Seeing his serious face at this time, Yin Changle had no doubt that he would really sue, so he naturally did not dare to make any more trouble.
After seeing off the Yin family, Xia's father was a little dissatisfied and was about to say a few words. Xia Junkai had already stood up, "I will pack my bags and get up as soon as possible, join the job earlier, and receive my salary earlier."
Father Xia was overjoyed, "Then your mother and I's luggage..."
Xia Junkai raised his hand to interrupt, "Dad, although I have to enter the official career, my rank is low and my salary is not much. If the whole family takes it, I will definitely not be able to support you. If you and your mother stay at home, I will ask someone to give you money.
, to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."
The two were stunned. After looking at each other, Xia's father said urgently, "Do you blame me? I read your letter... It was indeed my fault to send Li Qiu away, but your aunt promised to take good care of them, so I let go.
...Your mother and I have never been to the capital...That's not what you said...You said you wanted us to live a good life." He was already incoherent in his anxiety.
Mrs. Zhou also said, "Yes, we were wrong, but we also gave Li Qiu fifty taels of silver. She can hire someone to take care of her for two months when she takes the child away. Wen Po can hire the best...she is not now
Okay?"
Is the beginning of autumn good?
Xia Junkai closed his eyes. She was indeed fine. However, he did not dare to look at her more. Every time he looked at her, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife, and the pain was dripping with blood. The emotions in his heart surged, and the empty places in his heart filled up.
, welled up in his throat and became clogged, and he was afraid that he would cry as soon as he opened his mouth.
He silently took deep breaths several times before he calmed down a little, "I've made up my mind. I'll talk about taking you to the capital later."
