In such a huge boat, Hanzhu and Chu Yuan brothers sat on the side of the back sun. They were all quiet people. They lined up three or four steps apart, and after sitting down, they focused on fishing.
Ah Xun and his sister squeezed a small stool, stared at the water for a while, couldn't sit still, and raised their heads and asked their sister: "Why haven't you caught it yet?"
Hanzhu shrewd gently, "The fish just smelled the fragrance and was swimming here. Ah Xun should not speak, don't scare the fish away."
She looked serious, Ah Xun nodded obediently and continued to stare at the water without moving.
After a cup of tea, he couldn't sit still anymore. Seeing his sister looking at the lake seriously, Axun stood up, walked to Chu Qiang, and looked down at her wooden barrel. Chu Qiang turned his head to kiss him. Axun ran away with a smile and went to Chu Yuan again. Because the man's face was cold, Axun did not dare to come over directly. He looked at him curiously after a few steps.
The boy kept staring at him, Chu Yuan turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to fish with your elder brother?"
Ah Xun came to take a look, but didn't expect to look at him. After looking at his cousin for a while, he ran back to his sister, which made Chu Yuan stunned and didn't understand what the little guy came to do.
"Dad, you haven't been fishing with me for a long time. The last time it was last summer, right?"
Chu Man's soft voice came from there, and Chu Qiang's heart moved slightly. He looked at Hanzhu sideways, but saw Hanzhu's face was quiet, no different from the moment, as if there was only an irrelevant person behind him, rather than her half-sister acting cute with her father. But Ah Xun turned around and pouted.
"Concentrate on fishing, don't talk too much." Chu Qing's voice was slightly cold. Chu Qiang looked at A Xun again, and was amused by the boy's serious nod.
After a while, Chu Yuan caught a fish first here. A Xun immediately became energetic and was not afraid of his cousin. He carried the wooden barrel to his sister's side very well. He sat on the chair and looked down at the big fish inside that was shaking his head and tail. When Chu Yuan caught it again, he carried the wooden barrel back and ran around, his face blushing.
"Sister, let's go to the tent to have a tea. I'm a little thirsty." Chu Qiang remembered something and invited Hanzhu to say.
"Okay." Hanzhu put down the fishing rod and saw Ah Xun squatting beside Chu Yuan and watching the fish. She asked Si Xi to watch carefully and entered the tent with Chu Qiang.
After she finished her seat and drank tea to moisten her throat, Chu Qiang whispered: "Sister, the old lady goes to Jiuhua Temple to worship Buddha every June 9th, and she goes to the summer so that she can stay until the 29th. It seems that this summer is hotter than in previous years. Should I go with us in a few days? My mother and my third aunt are both here, and they will come back after staying for two nights. Our sisters accompany the old lady, and there are more lively people."
Respecting Buddha...
Hanzhu was a little moved. After her father went there, a series of accidents occurred at home, but she could not calm down and remember her father. When she went to the temple, it was normal to have a vegetarian life, and she could also copy a few volumes of scriptures with peace of mind.
"I want to go, but I have to discuss it with my father." Hanzhu glanced outside.
Chu Qiang sat next to her and whispered: "Uncle Second likes his sister so much. What does his sister want to do? Uncle Second will never object." She had no friendship with Chu Man. Now Hanzhu has become her temper. Chu Qiang naturally tends to Hanzhu's words, and he comforted Hanzhu tactfully because Chu Man is unhappy in acting coquettishly at this moment.
Hanzhu was about to reply, when Chu Qing and Chu Man walked in together.
"Why are you two not fishing?" Chu Qing smiled and sat opposite Hanzhu. Seeing that his forehead was sweating, Hanzhu got up and wanted to pour tea for him. Chu Man quickly grabbed the teapot with his eyes and hands. As if he didn't notice Hanzhu's meaning, he turned around and obediently poured tea for Chuqing and joked: "It must be that the eldest brother caught a lot of fish. My sister and second sister were sure to win, so he came in and was lazy."
Hanzhu naturally sat back on the chair, smiled faintly, without replying.
Chu Qiang saw Chu Man's little thoughts clearly, frowned slightly, and did not respond. In the past, the eldest sister was arrogant and bullied Chu Man a little. Chu Man was not as powerful as the eldest sister. She looked pitiful, but now the eldest sister stopped targeting her, so Chu Man became tough.
It is true that people's hearts can't be seen by a person for a while.
They didn't speak, and Chu Man knew that she was cold, and she couldn't hold on her face and looked at her father with grievance.
Chu Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the tea bowl, with the invisible chill in his eyes.
He thought that his younger daughter had really regained her cheerful temperament. Even if she could not be as close as a sister to her legitimate sister, she could not get in the water. Her legitimate sister was gentle and gentle, and she continued to act like her spoiled, but the scene just now made Chu Qing understand that her younger daughter was still fighting against her legitimate sister. So, when did it start?
The pair of peach-shaped earrings were not valuable. My little daughter bought them for freshness. She threw them down after wearing them once. So at first glance, she didn't remember why her little daughter suddenly turned them out yesterday? If it were only once yesterday, Chu Qing wouldn't have doubted it. But today, when fishing, the little daughter knew that he didn't like being disturbed when doing something, she said something that hints that the father and daughter used to fish.
Did you show off on purpose to your legitimate sister?
This trick is really clever. The eldest daughter listens to it from time to time, and every day he is reminded of how he once favors the concubine's sister and neglects her. If this continues, it would be strange if the eldest daughter is willing to get close to him. It is even possible that the father and daughter will turn against each other again.
Chu Qing's eyes turned to the hem of his younger daughter's skirt. The younger daughter was depressed for half a year because he valued his legitimate sister. She suddenly became cheerful after the Dragon Boat Festival. She used this clever way to provoke the legitimate sister, but she still did not forget to compete for favor with clumsy methods. Someone must have mentioned something around her. Liuzhi was sold by him. The newly brought maid was so smart that she had no courage to openly provoke the two girls in the mansion, especially when he favored her eldest daughter, the smart people that her younger daughter could still come into contact with...
Aunt Xia.
Chu Qing smiled. Is this considered to be a mother? Because her daughter fell into water, she felt distressed? She wanted to protect her daughter?
But she should not forget that what she wants to protect is his daughter, and what she wants to deal with is his legitimate daughter.
He picked up the tea bowl, Chu Qing sipped it lightly, put it down, looked out the window, and smiled and said, "The sun is getting higher and higher, let's catch it here today. Let's go out and see how much your elder brother has caught." As if nothing happened, he led the way out.
Chu Yuan caught three fish, two big ones and small ones put them back.
"How many have Dad caught?" Ah Xun asked excitedly.
The youngest son was white and fat, like a fairy child. Chu Qing was in a better mood and picked up the little guy and asked, "Will A Xun hope his father win or his elder brother win?"
Chu Qiang immediately hugged Hanzhu's arm and said, "Big brother wins, sister wins, now my sister and brother are in the same group."
Ah Xun looked at his sister, then looked at his father, laughed, and raised his fat hand and said, "Dad and sister both win!"
The son was smart enough, Chu Qing kissed him hard.
After getting off the boat, Chu Yuan and his sister returned to the East Courtyard. Chu Qing led his four children back to the main courtyard. Hanzhu walked to his left, and Chu Man followed the right, talking to him constantly. Chu Qing listened with a smile, and occasionally echoed a few words. Hanzhu saw that their father and daughter had a good conversation, so she did not mention going to Jiuhua Temple for the time being. When Chu Qing arrived at the main courtyard, she sent Chu Hong and his sister back.
"Hanhan wants to go?" Chu Qing winked at the door with something to say outside his wealthy name and asked his daughter with a smile, with a gentle look, not as perfunctory as when answering Chu Man on the road.
Hanzhu nodded and lowered her eyes and said, "My aunt said that when I was unconscious, she went to Jiuhua Temple to pray for the Bodhisattva. After I woke up, I always wanted to go there to burn incense. Thank the Bodhisattva for blessing me." She touched Ah Xun's little head.
Chu Qing was most afraid of his daughter's coma, so she immediately responded, "Okay, if you want to go, Dad arranged a few guards to guard you. Is Ah Xun going?"
Ah Xun stood on the ground with his legs on his upper body, and he tilted his head to look at him: "I will go wherever my sister goes, and I will also go to worship the Bodhisattva."
The son sticks to his daughter, Chu Qing was helpless and blamed himself. If he had fulfilled his father's responsibilities, the siblings would not have fallen and injured, and the other would have stuck to his sister like he was dependent on his mother.
"Go, A Xun goes too." Chu Qing said in a complicated mood, "Okay, Dad has something to do, you guys go back first."
Hanzhu had long seen Fugui, and knew that Chu Qing had something to do, so she took A Xun away.
Fugui bowed his head to see the two little masters at the door. When Hanzhu's siblings walked away, he quickly followed Chu to the study and said, "Mr. Marquis, the third wife went to one of her dowry shop the day before yesterday. I arranged for someone to stare at the shopkeeper in the shop. Today, there was finally a movement. The shopkeeper took action himself, disguised himself as a farmer, went to a village called Lijiagou, and knocked a man forty-year-old down the hillside. Does Marquis know who that man is?"
Chu Qing buckled the table, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It has something to do with Aunt Xia?"
"Mr. Marquis is wise!" Fugui was really convinced and said quickly: "That person is the jade-grass next to his aunt. He broke his leg when he rolled down the mountain. He probably has sent someone to deliver the letter now. But, Marquis, what exactly does the third lady want to do?"
The fourth girl from Dragon Boat Festival fell into the water, and the Marquis asked him to stare at the movements of the third lady. Fugui guessed that the fourth girl was probably the third lady who fell into the water, but he really couldn't understand what the third lady wanted to send someone to hit Jade.
A woman's heart is under the sea, Chu Qing only knows that the third wife is targeting Aunt Xia, as for what she wants to do...
"When Jade comes home to visit relatives, you send someone to watch carefully. No matter who she encounters, what happens to her, you don't have to interfere, just keep an eye on it."
"I understand." Fugui responded solemnly, and saw that Chu Qing had no orders, he turned around and retreated to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.
