Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 22 Chen Xueru goes to the 4th courtyard

He Daqing lay on the bed thinking and fell asleep to the sound of Chen Xueru's voice.

It was already past noon when they both woke up.

Looking at the time, Chen Xueru hit He Daqing with a pillow and said, "You are a bull. How can there be a person like you who does this in broad daylight? If people knew about it, I would never be able to face people again."

He Daqing smiled and took the pillow that flew over and said, "Okay, okay, I won't do this during the day anymore. How about at night?"

This made Chen Xueru even angrier. She forgot that she was naked and stood up to punish He Daqing. As soon as she stood up, she saw He Daqing's shining eyes and suddenly thought of her current embarrassing situation. She quickly got back into the quilt and covered her head.

He Daqing looked at the beautiful ostrich and said with a smile, "I've seen it all before, why are you still hiding it? If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, I will let you see mine too. Is that okay?"

Chen Xueru hid under the quilt and said angrily: "Bah! Bad guy! Who wants to see you! It's so ugly, I'm afraid I'll get stye if I see it."

Then he said, "Get out now. I need to get up and get dressed."

Seeing that the woman was somewhat angry, He Daqing also stood up and looked for his clothes. He also put Chen Xueru's clothes aside and put them on the bed.

Chen Xueru finally got out of bed when she heard He Daqing closing the door. Seeing that there was no one in front of her, she quickly picked up her clothes and prepared to put them on.

"Do you want me to help you?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Chen Xueru was so scared that she turned her head immediately and saw He Daqing looking at her with lustful eyes.

Chen Xueru was stunned and forgot to put on the clothes in her hand. She had seen thick-skinned people, but she had never seen someone as thick-skinned as He Daqing.

Chen Xueru angrily threw the clothes in her hand over and shouted, "You scared me to death. Who told you to peek, you bastard!"

He Daqing took the bellyband that flew over, put it to his nose and took a deep sniff, then said intoxicatedly, "It smells so good!"

Chen Xueru grabbed it back and, without caring about being shy, pushed He Daqing out of the door.

Locking the door from the inside, he suddenly thought of He Daqing's intoxicated look just now. His face flushed, and he cursed with a smile on his face: "This stinky hooligan really pissed me off."

He Daqing poured himself a cup of tea outside and sat there drinking it, savoring the faint fragrance.

After a while, Chen Xueru came out dressed neatly. Seeing her blush still not subsiding, He Daqing just looked at her with a smile.

Chen Xueru grabbed the half-drunk tea from He Daqing's table and drank it all in big gulps. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She sat down, rolled her eyes and said, "You rascal, haven't you seen enough?"

"I just can't get enough of looking at you for my whole life. You're all I can see."

Here he comes again, this shameless guy says that again!

But women just fall for it.

Chen Xueru blushed and said, "Daqing, we are all like this. What are you going to do?"

He Daqing said seriously: "Xue Ru, my family has a son and a daughter. If you don't mind, I will find a matchmaker to propose marriage. How about it?"

Chen Xueru replied without thinking: "As long as I can be with you, I'm fine with anything. I just don't know if they will dislike me."

"It's okay, they are all grown up and very obedient. My daughter Yushui wants to see you sooner."

Chen Xueru was surprised and asked, "Did you tell them about us? What did they say?"

"Of course I have. I have already decided to marry you. They all welcome you very much and are waiting for you to come over soon."

When it really came to this, Chen Xueru said a little nervously: "Then I'll go and take a look. As long as they don't object to us being together, it's fine."

He Daqing said, "Let's go today. We'll go eat something later. Then take a look around. Come to my house in the evening and I'll make you something delicious."

"Ah! So soon? I haven't prepared anything yet?"

"There's nothing to prepare. It's not a big deal. Don't worry, you're so pretty and sensible, they'll love you so much."

Chen Xueru heard this and shook her head and said, "Then I have to prepare something too. It's our first meeting, and I don't want to go empty-handed."

After saying that, Chen Xueru started looking for things to take with her.

Suddenly I saw two wooden boxes still in the living room. I hadn't had time to put them away.

So he carried the box and went into the bedroom.

He Daqing looked at her and thought of asking her about the bracelet, so he hurriedly said, "Xue Ru, wait a minute!"

Chen Xueru turned around holding the box and looked at him puzzledly.

He Daqing opened the box containing the jade bracelet, took out the jade bracelet and said, "Xue Ru, do you know where you got this jade bracelet?"

Chen Xueru also came over and took the jade bracelet to look at it carefully and said, "I don't know exactly where it came from. This is something my mother left for me. She said it's a family heirloom. She asked me to give it to my daughter-in-law in the future."

He Daqing asked again without giving up: "Have you ever seen anything like this?"

Chen Xueru shook her head and said, "No, I heard that this is carved from the best quality Hetian jade. It's hard to find such good Hetian jade now. Why are you asking this?"

He Daqing said helplessly: "It's okay, I'm just asking. This jade bracelet looks pretty, so I want to collect some more."

Chen Xueru handed the jade bracelet to He Daqing and said, "Then you can take this. You can't wear it out now anyway."

He Daqing put it back in the box and said, "No need, I just want to take a look. It's at your place anyway, I can take it out when I want to take a look."

Seeing that He Daqing really didn't want it, Chen Xueru put it away. The two of them carried the boxes and went to the bedroom. Chen Xueru opened the closet and found a mezzanine. She put both boxes in it.

After watching Chen Xueru pack up, the two of them locked the door and pushed the car out.

They first found a small restaurant that was still open nearby and had a meal. He Daqing then took Chen Xueru for a walk.

They arrived at the department store and Chen Xueru took He Daqing inside.

Inside, Chen Xueru first bought Yushui a box of Pechoin vanishing cream, a new school bag, and some candies.

He Daqing knew that Chen Xueru was rich, so he didn't stop her.

On the second floor, she picked out a Shanghai watch for Sha Zhu at the watch counter. As the owner of a silk shop, Chen Xueru could easily afford a watch ticket.

Last time, He Daqing bought it for himself, but not for Sha Zhu. He had just come back then, and he still needed to educate Sha Zhu, so he thought he would buy it after Sha Zhu became obedient. Since Chen Xueru bought it this time, he did not stop her.

They finished shopping quickly and walked around again. Seeing that there was nothing else they needed, they left the department store.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, He Daqing took Chen Xueru to the courtyard.

Along the way, Chen Xueru felt a little uneasy, fearing that Sha Zhu and Yu Shui didn't like her and would reject her.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the courtyard. Everyone had just returned from get off work.

When He Daqing brought Chen Xueru into the courtyard, the first person they met was the door god Yan Bugui. He looked at He Daqing with a beautiful woman and asked in surprise, "Daqing, who is this?"

He Daqing smiled and handed Yan Bugui a cigarette and said, "Old Yan, this is my girlfriend. She will be my wife soon. How is she? Pretty, isn't she?"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui gave He Daqing a thumbs up and said, "Daqing, you are really amazing. You can find such a beautiful wife. I can't help but admit it!"

He Daqing teased, "Old Yan, from what you said, you also want to find one?"

He Daqing's words startled Yan Bugui, who said, "Hey, Daqing, please don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly have that thought? But when are you two planning to treat us?"

"Old Yan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your idea is really bad. If your school knew about this, they would definitely criticize you. What kind of year is it now? Great people advocate thrift and diligence, so why are you still thinking about extravagance and waste? Aren't you going against great people? If this gets known to others and spreads to your school, you'll be punished."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui slapped himself twice on the mouth. He said, "Look at my broken mouth, I have no control over it. I was just joking, don't take it seriously. How could we do such a thing? It's so good to be frugal. Our family is the most frugal, and we are the most supportive of the decision made by the higher authorities."

A few words frightened Yan Bugui so much that he no longer dared to mention the banquet. He Daqing continued to lead Chen Xueru inside.

Chen Xueru looked at He Daqing bickering with a smile, which she found quite funny.

After saying hello to a few people, I came to the central courtyard.

Today, the laundry chicken Qin Huairu is back on duty. She is so dedicated.

Seeing He Daqing come in with a very beautiful woman, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. He brought one back so soon. He Daqing's charm was too great.

Although she knew it was impossible, Qin Huairu still felt a little sour.

So I said enthusiastically, "Hey, Uncle He, you're back? I was just trying to help you wash your dirty clothes, but I didn't know you were out until you came back."

Qin Huairu's words made Chen Xueru's face turn cold. She had never heard He Daqing mention this person. Why does he look familiar?

He Daqing's face suddenly turned gloomy. He was sure that this woman was courting death.

So he snorted coldly and said, "Why? Qin Huairu, you think that I hit your mother-in-law but didn't hit you because I was being kind, right? Don't provoke me, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

After saying this, Chen Xueru looked much better. But Qin Huairu lowered her head, revealing a look of grievance and said: "Uncle He, look at what you said, we are all neighbors. Even if there were things wrong between our families in the past, isn't it all in the past? I just wanted to help you and ease the relationship between our two families. After all, distant relatives don't go to close neighbors."

He Daqing heard this, with a smile on his face and a cold light in his eyes, he said: "Okay, since you want to help our family, I can't help but appreciate it. Wait a moment."

After saying that, he took Chen Xueru home.

Sha Zhu was sitting there with Yu Shui listening to the radio when he saw his father coming in with a very beautiful woman. Sha Zhu froze where he was.

Is this his stepmother?

Is his father so awesome?

Seeing that Shazhu and Yushui were still in a daze, He Daqing said, "Shazhu, Yushui, you two go back and keep the clothes you've worn these days, and bring the rest here. Change the quilt cover and bed sheets and keep one set, and bring the rest here. Go quickly!"

After that, he turned to Chen Xueru and said, "That's the widow of the family across from us. Her husband just died this year. She has a grudge against our family. This time she said this on purpose to cause trouble. Wait a minute and see how I deal with her."

Although Shazhu and Yushui didn't understand why their father wanted clothes and quilts, they still obediently went to get them.

He Daqing also took out his bed sheets, quilt covers, and clothes. He even took out the worn-out clothes that he didn't wear. Finally, he took out the foot towel that had several holes in it. A grown man couldn't hold it anymore.

After a while, Shazhu and Yushui also came over, each carrying a bunch.

He Daqing picked them all up, and he couldn't hold them all by himself, so he called Shazhu to help. The father and son each carried a large pile of clothes and sheets to the pool.

He Daqing said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, thank you very much. Wash these earlier, as our family is waiting to wear them."

(He Daqing is getting married soon, but the author is still hesitating about who will be Sha Zhu's wife. Should I choose Lou Xiao'e, who will go to Hong Kong to develop her career, or Yu Li, who will continue to develop her career in Beijing? Or it can be a female character outside the original plot. I hope everyone can give some suggestions. Thank you all readers for your support! Your support is my motivation to continue writing!!!)
