Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 87

Li Qinyuan’s deceased mother, Shen, lived in the courtyard named Jinguiyuan. Although she has been dead for six years, the layout of the courtyard is still the same as before. In the past, a woman in her thirties was sweeping in the courtyard. With.

Seeing him coming, the woman quickly put down the work she had in her hand, and the comrades invited Daan, her tone of voice was unabashedly concerned, “Why are you here in such a big wind and snow?”

The woman’s name is Suxiu, she is Shen’s dowry maid.

Shen was kind and didn’t want these old servants who had accompanied her to stay trapped in the house for life. Before she left, she returned all the deeds of deeds to them. If she had a family to rely on, she would take a penny to return. Go home, if you don’t have a home, you can also get a pen, whether it’s a small business or keep it for yourself.

After all, everything she could think of was arranged for them.

So many years have passed, and only Su Xiu stayed. She was married before, but unfortunately her life was not good. She married her husband and was killed by a gangster. She had no children and two elderly people in the family died. With nowhere to go, he simply stayed in the house.

Wipe the memorial tablet and clean the former residence for my old master every day.

“Let me see my mother.” Every time Li Qinyuan came back here, his mood was a little low, especially today because of the old things. He handed the umbrella in his hand to Suxiu, and then walked in alone.

Su Xiu knew he liked quietness, so she didn’t dare to bother, so she only called a little maid to let someone prepare some tea and food.

If necessary, send it in.

After the people answered, she took the umbrella Li Qinyuan handed her, and looked at the closed door, she couldn’t help sighing.

…

In the room.

Because people clean every day, this house that has been uninhabited for many years still maintains its due popularity. When Li Qinyuan stepped forward, he untied the cloak he was wearing outside and placed it in the door. On the side of the screen shelf.

The melons and fruits on the table were fresh, and a Xiang concubine couch not far away was cleaned up. The pillow embroidered with begonia flowers there was still my mother’s favorite in the past.

There is an embroidery basket on the coffee table next to it, and a lot of rags and needles are piled in it.

Further to the side, near the Dongxuan window, there was an embroidery frame on which was a portrait of Guanyin priest that had not been completed before his mother died.

Even in front of the dressing table, there is a white jade floral comb that she often uses.

Li Qinyuan looked at it a little bit, and even the corners of the room weren’t let go. The layout here was exactly the same as when his mother was there…Sometimes, he would suddenly feel that his mother might not leave at all.

She still leaned on the soft couch and embroidered the female red on the pillow. When she saw him, she raised her gentle eyebrows and smiled with him, “Qilang is here.”

But in the end–

It’s just his delusion.

Even if the layout here is the same as before, the people who left have left.

Li Qinyuan lowered his eyelashes and did not speak. He planned to change into a pair of soft-soled shoes so that the room would not be dirty.

He kept his shoes here all the time. Although he rarely came back, he would come to his mother to sit for a long time when he came back. He was about to bend over to fetch it, and his eyes were still there with a pair of shoes

Son, bigger than his.

He narrowed his eyebrows, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. After all, he didn’t say or do anything, as if he hadn’t seen it, he took his shoes and put them on and walked in.

The same as before.

Li Qinyuan first took a piece of pear blossom scent that his mother liked in the past and put it in the tangled peony and green leaf smoker, then washed his hands, and then walked to the place where the memorial tablet was enshrined. In the incense burner.

Three smears of smoke rose up, and he looked at the black lacquer-gold tablet like this.

Li Qinyuan always felt that her mother’s name was not good, just like she left before she was the most brilliant in her life, but she liked it very much… He still remembered it very much. When I was young, my mother hugged him and talked about the situation when we met that person.

If the daughter who did not leave the pavilion asked for marriage, she would go to a peach blossom village on the outskirts of the city and ask for a peach blossom lottery there, then write her name underneath and cast it on the most colorful peach tree.

–

The mother would have been dragged over by others. When she was in her boudoir, she was gentle and unintentional. She felt that marriage was to follow the arrangements of her parents.

I was dragged by my friend and bought a peach blossom lotus for her.

She had no choice but to write her own name, and then planned to find a secluded peach tree and throw it on it.

Who would have thought that she could not throw it on the tree, but she threw it outside the wall. The sign still had her name written on it. How could outsiders see it? I hurriedly searched for the past and ran into that person.

Li Qinyuan still remembered that his mother told him.

-“Your father was wearing a Tsing Yi with jade around his waist, and his face was like a crown jade. It was no different from those young boys who were outing and playing, but when he looked up at me, those long and narrow phoenix eyes looked like It was the wind and sand covering the wall, which made me hold my breath.”

-“He didn’t ask me anything, but when he saw my blushing face in anxious state, he handed back the flower lotus in his hand to me, and then led the squires away.

-“I have been an innocent person since I was a child. My parents always said whatever they wanted. But that time, I sincerely wanted to marry someone and marry him.”

The mother also said, “I know that he is a good soldier, and that he has been out for most of the year, but for me, as long as it is him, day and night are enough.”

The memories came to an abrupt end.

Li Qinyuan’s thin lips were still not loosened. He still looked at the tablet without blinking. After a while, he opened his mouth and his voice was a little dumb, especially in the world where cigarettes curled up. With a vague feeling, “Mother, I’m back to see you.”

“I’m very good.”

It’s like a family gossiping

, He said very slowly, “I have a good meal and a good sleep. No matter how busy I am, I won’t make myself hungry. Don’t worry about me.”

“I also knew a girl—”

Thinking of Gu Wuyou, Li Qinyuan’s widowed face showed a faint smile, and even the cold eyes warmed up, “She is a very good girl, gentle, considerate, and caring. I, although sometimes squeamish, she is the best and best girl I have ever seen.”

“If you are still there, you will definitely like her.”

“

…If you are still there,” his eyes are reddish and his voice is lower, “that would be great. “

Su Xiu had already finished cleaning.

She was just down the corridor, even though the wind was whistling, she still heard some depressed crying, like the vague growl of a cub that witnessed the death of her mother, just like when the wife went there.

As she listened, the circles under her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

I don’t know how long it took before she heard footsteps from far and near.

Suxiu quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and when she opened the door, she invited a gift to the people, and said softly, “I have prepared the tea and cakes you liked in the past. Would you like to use some? “

“no need.”

Li Qinyuan shook his head. It was probably because of crying that his voice became more muted. When he took the umbrella from someone, he asked, “Is the banquet outside?”

Su Xiu was taken aback, and then she replied, “It’s over, and the guests have gone back.”

Li Qinyuan nodded and didn’t say anything, but just before leaving, the same person said, “It’s cold and windy, and you should pay attention to your body. You will be the old man next to your mother.”

With just one sentence, Su Xiu’s eyes were red.

Since the beating of his wife, the Seventh Young Master has also changed her personality. The former laughter and joke has become more and more silent. She looked uncomfortable, but she did not dare to say anything. Now she heard this kind of concern. She finally couldn’t bear it, choked up and said: “Slaves are saved.”

“The old lady and Lord Hou treated the slaves well and didn’t let the slaves suffer.”

“In the past few years, the slave has followed the others and recognized a goddaughter, and now she is doing some sweeping work on the wife’s side. Her name is Xier, and she is a well-behaved child.

“It’s you—”

Su Xiuhong looked at her and said, “Have you ever been cold or hungry outside? Otherwise…” She hesitated for a while, “Why don’t you go back to the house, and the slave can take care of you.”

Li Qinyuan smiled, “I’m so old, where do I need someone to take care of?” Seeing Su Xiu have to say it again, he smiled, “Okay, you go to rest, I’ll go see my grandmother, and it’s time to leave. “

“I have to leave today?” Su Xiu followed the people out of the yard and persuaded, “Such wind and snow, let’s stay at home for one night.”

“No.” Li Qinyuan said, “I will have the exam in a few days, and I have to go back to review.” Seeing that she had to send it again, he stopped and stopped, “You go in.”

He had a firm attitude, so Su Xiu couldn’t say anything else. She just looked at his face that was quite similar to Grandpa Guo. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Since Grandpa Guo came back, he daily Will come and sit for a while.”

When Li Qinyuan heard this, he held the umbrella handle and closed it.

Tight, her thin lips pursed.

“in fact……”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, “I should go to see my grandmother, you can go in.” Li Qinyuan walked out without waiting for someone to return.

Su Xiu looked at his back, her mouth still slightly open.

When Xi’er came to look for her and asked her “what’s wrong”, she shook her head and sighed. I don’t know when the young master’s knot will be solved.

“Go back.” She held Xi’er’s hand, “I should recite to Madam too.”

Shou’an Hall is where Mrs. Li lives.

The guest has left long ago. She, the birthday star, was a little tired after tossing about it for most of the day. She was thinking about going inside to rest for a while when she heard someone from outside spreading a message, saying, “The Seventh Master is here.”

As soon as she heard it, the fatigue on her face disappeared cleanly, and she was quickly invited in, and she was sent to buy refreshments and cakes.

By the time Li Qinyuan untied his cloak and came in, all those things had already been arranged. Mrs. Li was sitting on the Arhat bed and beckoning when she saw him coming in, then she smiled and said, “I just asked you to come over, why are you? Refused to come.”

“How do you know that you are here now?”

She said just now when the ladies were there.

At the age of Mrs. Li, what I want to say is that in addition to family harmony and health of children and grandchildren, I want to find a good daughter-in-law for my grandson, so that he can be accompanied by a caring person, and will not wait for her in the future. So, she is alone, but her grandson usually refuses to attend any banquets, so she is only willing to come back when she is on her birthday.

But when you come back, you can avoid it.

When I was young, I was able to trick people over. Now that I learn to be smart, where can I trick people?

Li Qinyuan’s emotions have almost cleared up in this meeting, at least it won’t let people see that he is in a bad mood, so he is very strange, even the grandmother who has always watched him grow up can’t find out the emotions he hides, why? Is that little girl able to find out his mood so accurately?

It was just a daze for a while.

After receiving the gifts of those maids and women, he sat next to Mrs. Li, took an orange and peeled it off, and said casually: “There are so many ladies and ladies, what do I look like when I come here?”

“You kid, you know what I’m talking about.” Mrs. Li reluctantly patted the back of his hand and said, “You are sixteen this year, so you don’t want to get married so early, so you should look good.” .”

“I looked at the ladies who came here today are all pretty good, especially the girl from the Yang family. She is gentle and decent, aside from her gentle temper.”

“The child from the Li family is not bad too. Speaking of which, you played with her when you were a kid.”

“……grandmother.”

Li Qinyuan dragged his tone helplessly. Just as he wanted to speak, he saw the dark red embroidered wiping forehead tied to her, thinking of what the little girl had said to him just now, and his eyes followed. Bend a bit.

“What are you looking at?”

Mrs. Li followed his gaze and stroked her forehead, and when her fingertips touched that piece of forehead, she also smiled, “This piece of forehead was given to me by the five girls from Dingguo Palace. .”

“Today her grandmother took her on this trip in person,

Said to thank you for saving her Xiaowu and Xiaojiu. “

Speaking of this, she couldn’t help frowning and said: “I don’t know who came out of the news that the Leping child is proud and domineering. I looked at it today. He is really a good boy. He looks like a sign and loves to laugh. , Those natural smiling eyes, just look at it and make people feel good.”

Mrs. Li is a short-term guardian.

I like that little girl in my heart, so I can’t see others say that she’s not doing well, and when she thinks of the rumors spreading outside, she gets angry, “The good girl, I don’t know who is so bad-hearted, and all the smoky things are spread

Angry rumors. “

He sighed again: “I don’t know which kid will have this blessing to marry her home in the future.”–

Li Qinyuan didn’t think his grandmother would suddenly mention the little girl’s marriage, and couldn’t help but cough lightly. Which kid, your grandson…

But he is embarrassed to mention this.

Mrs. Li originally wanted to talk to him. Seeing his appearance, she paused and said with concern: “What’s the matter? Is it frozen?”

“No.”

Li Qinyuan cleared his throat, shook his head, and passed the orange in his hand to her, “The room is too hot and my throat is itchy.”

Mrs. Li simply said: “Then you drink more water.” Then he instructed the people around him, “Remove some charcoal fires.”

As soon as the maid beside him was about to answer “yes”, she was stopped by Li Qinyuan, “It’s okay, it will be fine after the meeting, what did you just say?”

“Just now?”

When Mrs. Li was interrupted in this way, she stopped talking about the charcoal fire. She thought about it, and then she remembered what she was going to say, and smiled: “I think of the full moon meeting in Leping. Your mother was still holding You have been to see her.”

Li Qinyuan was startled, obviously not aware of this.

“You are still young, how can you remember these?” Seeing his dazed expression, Mrs. Li smiled and said, “You were just talking at that time. When I took you with your mother, your parents paid for it. If you don’t shout clearly, you will call your sister.”

“Looking at Xiao Leping, you grabbed her hand. After making someone cry, you also cried, but it made us all laugh.”

Speaking of these old past events, the smile on Mrs. Li’s face was not enough. Seeing this grandson who was indifferent to everything next to her, she would still be stunned, so she talked about another matter with great interest. In the year of Leping’s third birthday, you had to go with your mother, and when you got there, you said that you would marry Leping as a wife.”

“Oh, right……”

She suddenly said again, “Will you kiss her then?”

Li Qinyuan stood up in shock this time, and became stammered, “What, what? Me, did I kiss her?”

Mrs. Li didn’t expect him to react so much, she smiled for a while before pulling his hand, and groaning: “It’s all because of childhood, what are you anxious about? Your mother has a good relationship with Leping’s mother, Leping has not been born yet. At the time, they really thought about arranging a baby kiss or something.”

“unfortunately……”

Thinking of Wang’s ending, she couldn’t help but sighed. These cheerful old past events became silent for a while. After a long time, she whispered: “That kid from Leping is also poor. Without the mother, although her stepmother is good, there is a layer of belly in the end.”

–

“I hope she can marry a husband who knows cold and hot in the future, and love her well, so that the little girl won’t make life so difficult.”

Li Qinyuan thought of the little girl’s life experience and thought of what she had said to him today. He also became silent. After a while, he softly replied, “Yes.”
