Chapter 3 Thinking of Hometown
For the sake of today's "robber incident", Luo Xia and the two little girls were called over by Old Master Yue, and were scolded with harsh words. Then they brought Yue Qianqiu, who had eaten at Old Master, back.
As soon as they returned to the Qingfen Pavilion west of Hemingxuan, the two little girls who were cautious outside took a break.
Luoxia was still worried. She served Yue Qianqiu to wash and waited for her to change her clothes. After she made the bed for her, she waited for someone to lie down. When she went to put the tent with one hand, she suddenly felt that her sleeve was being pulled.
She reluctantly turned around and smiled, "It's so late, don't you want to sleep?"
"You are going to get married, but I don't think you are happy?"
Luoxia didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to ask this, and after a while, she squeezed out a smile: "Why do you ask this..."
"How much do your godmother intends to exchange for you for the bride price?"
At this moment, Luoxia suddenly turned pale. She looked back in panic. Seeing that there was no third person in the room, she remembered that Yue Qianqiu had set a strange rule before and did not allow a third person except her to enter the room. She breathed a little relieved and asked in panic: "What does your son mean?"
"There are eight girls who were released to marry this time, four of whom are in the mansion. I heard that either the superiors have chosen the candidates for them, or the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law have already chosen them. The other two are ten years of living contracts. After leaving the Yue family, they will no longer be slaves."
Yue Qianqiu let go and said seriously, "Only you and the other one bought it when they were young, and they all recognized a godmother after entering the mansion. I heard that the girl's godmother hired her to a pharmacy shopkeeper with a dead wife as a filling room, and when she went in, she was a stepmother. Her betrothal gift was 15 stakes. Your godmother Xiang has also visited the Qingfen House several times, and she was sarcastic and domineering. She should have a bigger appetite, right?"
Luoxia finally couldn't help but fall on the edge of the bed, her teeth creaked and fought. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice that seemed to be her own: "She promised me to the son of Lin, the manager of the mansion."
"Whoever drank and gambled and beat his wife all day long, didn't even have a serious position, and became a widower in less than a year after getting married?"
Yue Qianqiu shouted, thinking that it was really innovating, and then said lightly, "Did she tell you that as long as you tell me about someone asking me about me on the back street and deceive me to the back door to meet Ding Youcai, she will find another good marriage for you?"
"You...how do you know!" Luo Xia's beautiful face almost seemed to have seen a ghost, and she almost didn't scream in surprise.
Yue Qianqiu sat up halfway, shrugged gently and said, "I guess."
I haven't guessed that someone in the mansion said that if you lied to me to go to the back door, you will accept you as your wife in the future...
Looking at Luo Xia's very attractive face, he said word by word: "If you want to be happy to put a flower in cow dung in the future, just pretend that I have never said anything. If you have any other plans, then you will say it clearly. My godmother is not my biological mother and I can't care about you for the rest of your life."
Hearing this last sentence, Luoxia finally couldn't help it anymore. She suddenly leaned down and cried bitterly. After crying, she finally realized her situation and hurriedly wiped away her tears.
Although she has been with Yue Qianqiu for three years and only she can serve her closely, she has never seen through this young ninth young master.
Yue Qianqiu likes to be dazed and doesn't like to talk, but whenever he speaks, he often makes them and even the old man laugh, or is dumbfounded. Just like the farce on the back door today, it is unexpected from the passage to the ending. But what made her most afraid of is that the Ninth Young Master sometimes doesn't look like a child at all!
After considering it for a long time, she resolutely said: "Young Master, I know I deserve to die, but my godmother said, it's probably your uncle, and I felt relieved. I thought I was just letting you meet you. I didn't expect that she had such a intention... I'd just let her fight and sell it, and I'll just let it be. It's all my worth."
"As for marriage, I would rather die than marry the scammer who beats my wife. I would wear scissors when I pass by. At worst, I would die together!"
Listening to this, Yue Qianqiu yawned again, and then said lightly: "I won't pursue what happened today, but there is no next time. You don't have to die, I just want to keep you for two more years, won't you blame me, right?"
Luoxia knew how serious the crime of colluding with an outsider seller was. It was a pity for someone else in this mansion. It would be light for a fight to sell, and it would not be serious for a kill. However, Yue Qianqiu actually spared her this time, and even didn't mention how to deal with her, but only said that she would stay with her for another two years. At that moment, tears that she had just stopped just now burst out again, and she quickly kowtowed twice.
"I am willing to serve the young master for the rest of my life!"
"A lifetime is too long, it's good to live a good day and night." Yue Qianqiu got into the quilt, turning over and leaving Luo Xia with a back.
He didn't plan to care about who Luoxia was letting go and marry. Since she had never regarded him as a trustworthy person and never said a word to him for help, why should he meddle in other people's business?
He spent seven years in Yue Mansion. Although his brothers and sisters from his peers were not close to him, they were at least able to live up to their faces, and the servants would not reveal some of their thoughts to them.
But now the servants are nakedly envious, jealous and hatred, and the elders and peers are deliberately alienated, which has brought about this farce today.
Of course he would not hate the old man who said he was an adopted son. It is a great kindness to take a child who had no relatives and no reason and raise him as a grandson.
However, Xiang’s mother who stabbed her in the back was different! So, he needed Luoxia to light the fire.
As the night became darker, Luoxia fell asleep on the floor on the ground floor on the ground. Hearing that there was no uniform breathing sound on the bed that he used to hear, and knew that Yue Qianqiu was not asleep either, she forgot that the Ninth Young Master had never talked to the girl, and suddenly asked, "Ninth Young Master, how did you know that Ding Youcai was not your uncle today?"
As soon as she said that, Luo Xia regretted it. This was not a good question, nor was it the question she should ask. But what she unexpectedly expected was that Yue Qianqiu actually answered.
Yue Qianqiu did not turn over, but his eyes looked at the tent of the Cordyceps: "Grandpa said, when he brought me back, it weighed only four or five kilograms at most. It was only a few months after he was born, and he couldn't even say anything. How could he know what his name was before? Ding Youcai didn't even think about this, and he called me Singer at me as soon as he came up, and he still hoped that I would believe him?"
He still didn't mention the terrible escape from the fire.
Luoxia couldn't help but be amused by Yue Qianqiu: "You must have heard it wrong. How could anyone call him Singer in the world?"
"Why didn't it? The book says that in the far west, there is a lake that once magnificent but later dried up into a desert, called Lop Nur. There is a small oasis in this desert, which is also the only place with springs. Later, an outpost was built, called Singer. The three words "legendary" in another language mean majestic and masculine..."
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but tell the story of another world, in a dreamlike tone.
Singer was the outpost he had stayed at when he was in the army after losing his father in his previous life.
He did not say nuclear explosion, honor, persistence, or seven soldiers hiked more than 8,000 miles, and were on the verge of despair, but found the legend of two fountains, one salty and one sweet spring.
But when I was driving through the long yellow sand and arrived at the outpost, I heard the "Soldiers and Clear Springs" sung by a little soldier. Even though he had completely forgotten the lyrics, he still couldn't help but hum the tune softly.
Listening to this strange tune that she had never heard before, looking at the gaze reflected in the window, Luo Xia felt her eyelids gradually drooping. While she was sleepy, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.
Is it because the Ninth Master is thinking about home? Could it be that his home is from Lop Nur and Singer? However, the Ninth Master was obviously carried into the mansion by the old man at such a young age, and he couldn't even remember his name...
After humming the little song that was not famous, Yue Qianqiu on the bed felt his eyes sore and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown."
A quiet night thought expresses the meaning of homesickness. Compared to those wanderers who still have a day to return home, he has no place to return.
He has read a lot of books for three years in Hemingxuan and has not seen his way back. He has no need to think of his hometown again. It is time to regard himself as a person here.
If you don’t mention the promising, the old man is old, he will have to repay the kindness of raising him, right?
Luoxia was chewing for more than twenty words. At that moment, she felt as if she understood why the Ninth Master was open to her.
