Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

From Qingshan Village to Yuxing City, it usually takes about three hours for a horse-drawn carriage to travel, but the old horse of Anxuan's family travels more slowly, taking nearly four hours, and arrives almost at the hour of the unitary hour.

Yuxing City belongs to the Lianzhou Prefecture. It is a large city of considerable size. It is surrounded by tall walls and guarded by soldiers at the gate. It's just that during the New Year's Day, most of the doors are closed, but red lanterns are hung in front of the doors, which doesn't seem to be so depressed.

Qin Feng's family lived in the west of the city. The carriage passed through several streets and walked for about a quarter of an hour. It arrived at a house. , a group of people waited at the door, and when they saw the carriage stopped, they surrounded it.

Qin Feng's two older brothers and two elder brothers were in the crowd. When the family got out of the car, several juniors came up to greet Anxuan and Qin Feng for New Year's greetings. Qin Feng gave everyone a red envelope before walking to the In front of their two brothers.

The Qin family is not considered a high-ranking family in Yuxing City, but it can definitely be called a scholarly family. Now Qin Feng's eldest brother, Qin Shangqing, is currently the county magistrate of Leshan County, Qingzhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to Lianzhou Prefecture. His second brother Qin Shangyuan lives in Lianzhou The Mingquan County Yali under the jurisdiction of the government served as the chief bookkeeper.

The two parties met and it was the first time that An Rubao met someone from Ah Mo's family. Qin Shangqing was gentle and elegant, and Qin Shangyuan was thin and capable. It could be seen that the two uncles really loved their Ah Mo, but their attitude towards their father was indifferent. , even being lukewarm towards their children.

Qin Feng's two older brothers were enthusiastic, one of them held Qin Feng's hand and led the crowd to the courtyard, saying: "Father and grandma started talking about it early in the morning, until now, don't you Make them wait."

It was the first time for An Rubao to come to Qin's house. When he entered the gate, three zhang away was a line-shaped shadow wall as tall as a person, covering the gate tightly, and wrote the words "Farming and Reading Heirloom". He didn't go around the screen wall to go to the main hall, but went east along the screen wall, passed through a hand-painted verandah, passed two hanging flower doors, and arrived at a courtyard with the word "Xiangyuan" hanging on the courtyard door. The servant stood with his hands down, and everyone entered the courtyard gate and went straight to the main hall.

In the hall, two elderly people sat upright, in their fifties, they were Qin Feng's father Qin Zhengyuan and Ahma He Jin. As soon as Qin Feng entered the door, his eyes were red, and he stepped forward and knelt down on the ground, calling out: "Father, Ah." An Xuan, An Rubao, and others followed closely behind to kowtow to the two elderly people. The two elderly people were so excited that they hurriedly asked others to help the family sit down. First, they asked An Xuan and his wife. Some of the life after moving away, and then called An Rubao and An Ruyu to the front for a long time to caress, An Ruyu had a sweet mouth, and she was also a little brother, a few words "Grandpa, grandpa" coaxed the old man Excited, he gave each of them a thick red envelope.

As for Song Chu and Song Yi, they didn't know Song Chu and An Rubao were married. They had some doubts about An Xuan and his wife bringing two children of unknown origin to our house, so they asked Qin Feng with their eyes, Qin Feng smiled and pulled Passing Song Chu, he said: "I was so happy that I forgot to introduce, father and mother, this is Song Chu, and that is his younger brother Song Yi, they are not outsiders, Xiao Chu is our precious little husband."

There was a room full of people in the inner hall. After Qin Feng finished speaking, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. When they reacted, everyone had different expressions for a moment, and their eyes fell on Song Chu from time to time.

It was Qin Shangqing who changed his face first, but after all, he did not lose his temper on the spot, but said calmly, "When did this happen? When did you decide on such a big matter? Why didn't you inform the family?" Qin Feng chose the young husband instead of the prospective husband. It seems that he has been married. They didn't know that his nephew was married, and they didn't blame him for turning his face.

Qin Feng only said indifferently: "This matter is done in a hurry. The two children are both underage, so it was done in a hurry. I didn't have time to inform the family. Besides, the left and right are from our family. I always have to bring it back for you to see. , Yuxing City and Qingshan Village are not close, so why bother to let you follow along." Qin Shangyuan looked unhappy, and said: "At the beginning you moved to Qingshan Village without saying a word and didn't discuss it with your family. How dare you make such a hasty decision on marriage?!, our family is Rubao’s ancestral family, no one from his ancestral family was present, how can it be decent to spread it? It really is..." Qin Zhengyuan glanced at him, Qin Shangyuan Surprised, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Qin Feng said with a half-smile: "What is it really? Second brother, why didn't you say anything, and younger brother is listening." Qin Shangyuan's husband, Yan Ruo, stood up to smooth things over and said: "Father, ah, Xiaofeng's family has been exhausted all the way. I'm afraid they're exhausted, so I think it's better to let them go back to their room to rest, the kitchen is already preparing meals, and I'll call them later when the meal is ready."

Qin Zhengyuan closed his eyes and said nothing, He Jin took two red envelopes and handed them to Song Chu and Song Yi, saying: "Just do as the second family said, the journey is long, Xiaofeng and you are tired, go back to the house and rest first." .” Qin Feng nodded, without saying hello to others, he walked out with his family with his head held high.

When their family left the "Xiangyuan", Qin Shangyuan hammered the table and said angrily: "I thought he would restrain himself after some troubles, but look at his appearance, how can he repent at all?!"

Qin Zhengyuan raised his eyelids, and said to him: "You said Xiaofeng didn't know how to repent, let me ask you, if I hadn't stopped you just now, what would you have said next? What was it really? Huh? I often say that you Your temper is not calm enough, learn more from your elder brother, have you learned it? Have you changed it?"

Qin Shangyuan said: "I'm not wrong, the An family was originally a family of merchants, and it was nothing more than appointing a brother from a merchant's family to Rubao before, but now it's all right, I simply found a countryman, Rubao After all, Bao is a scholar, in the future he won't be able to win the first prize, and when the time comes, it will be passed on, why don't you laugh at others' big teeth?"

He Jin said from the side: "It's not that Rubao is their nephew today, you now know how to worry about him, and it depends on whether he is grateful or not, well, we are also tired, what should you do?" Let's go." He issued the order to drive away the guests, Qin Shangyuan had something to say, but he didn't dare to disobey his family, so he had to retreat with the others.

When everyone left the door, Qin Zhengyuan and Fu Lang looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

They had three children, only one brother, Qin Feng, was loved by his family since he was a child, even the two elder brothers were obedient to him, and when they grew up to be 15 years old, they were already famous far and wide, and there were many people who proposed marriage Unceasingly, almost kicked the threshold of the family, but no one thought that Qin Feng would pick An Xuan, who was born in a merchant. A hundred members of the family were unwilling, especially Qin Shangqing and Qin Shangyuan, but Qin Shangyuan was helpless. Feng Fei Anxuan didn't want to marry, but he had no choice but to obey him, and he obeyed. People like them dislike merchants in their bones. Over the years, their attitude towards Anxuan has always been neither far nor near, like This kind of situation happened from time to time today, and as time passed, even my brother became estranged, and I didn't go home very often when there was nothing to do.

Taking this incident as an example, something happened to Anxuan's family. It is reasonable to say that someone from Qin Feng's family should come forward, but Qin Shangqing and Qin Shangyuan, the two elder brothers, did not step forward, but Qin Feng was just looking for trouble in his heart. Eat, wait for him to subdue first, who knows that after waiting, but waiting for the news that Anxuan's family has moved out, the family was so angry that they almost vomited blood. Now that my brother has finally returned, but no one can save face. It's still like this.

Before Qin Feng was appointed, he lived in a courtyard named after his name "Feng" in the southeast corner of the house. Across the vertical flower gate, there was a small courtyard house surrounded by dwarf flowers and trees. There were three main rooms and an inner hall in the middle. , and the bedroom is separated by a suite, and the windows inside are bright and clean, obviously just cleaned.

The New Year's gift brought has already been sent to the storeroom by the servants, and the rest of the luggage has already been sent to the bedroom. An Rubao saw that his grandmother looked uneasy, so he secretly brought Song Chu, Song Yi and An Ruyu into the west room, and served as Qin's assistant. The wind dragged An Xuan into the east room.

The east room is the room where Qin Feng lived in the old days. A glazed screen separates the inner hall when he enters the door. There are desks and bookshelves in the suite, which doubles as a study, and then there is a bedroom. All the furnishings in the room are the same as when he was at home. .

Qin Feng looked at the past one by one, and after reading it, he turned around and hugged An Xuan, buried his head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice for a long time: "When I was young, the elder brother and the second elder brother loved me the most, but they gave me everything I wanted, I remember Once I went to my elder brother’s study room and fell in love with his favorite paperweight. My elder brother gave it to me without saying a word. Also, every time I quarrel with my second elder brother, I love to throw things in his house. I never got angry, why...you are my love, why have they not even given you the most basic respect after all these years?"

An Xuan patted his head and said: "Brother, they just love you so much, I can understand, I don't mind." An Xuan raised his head and stared at him, and said: "You don't mind me, I love you."

An Xuan held his face, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said, "I know you love me, that's enough, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

In addition to a large carved bed in the bedroom, there is also a soft couch in the suite. Qin Feng nodded in An Xuan's arms, but he didn't let go. An Xuan had no choice but to hold him on the soft couch, Talking to him every sentence until he fell asleep, Fang bowed his head and kissed the top of his head, and closed his eyes.

In the other room, the four of An Rubao huddled together on the same bed and slept for a while. When the servant came to wake them up, Song Yi and An Ruyu were still a little dazed. An Rubao and Song Chu took care of each other. He simply washed up, changed his clothes and left the house.

An Xuan and Qin Feng were also ready, and the family marched out of Fengyuan under the guidance of two servants with lanterns.

Qin Feng's family is not counted as outsiders, and the meals are placed in Xiangyuan. There are two tables in total, one table for adults, including Mrs. Qin Zhengyuan, Mrs. Qin Shangqing, Mrs. Qin Shangyuan and Mrs. Anxuan, and one table for children. Not too many, even Qin Shangyuan's married father Qin Wenchang and his husband squeezed together with them, plus An Rubao, Qin Wenchang's younger brother Qin Wenhui, Qin Shangyuan's eldest son Qin Wenming, and younger son Qin Wenguang , It was packed to the brim.

Qin Wenming is two years older than An Rubao, and he is about to become an adult. He seems to have a good relationship with An Rubao, and put his elbow on An Rubao, saying: "I didn't expect that, you are ahead of me, obviously I am better than you." It’s too big, no, no, I have to find one quickly, my child must be bigger than yours.” An Rubao almost choked to death on the meal, took the tea handed by the waiter, and waited for a long time before stopping Stop coughing, he is married to Song Chu, but it's too early to tell about children or something.

Qin Wenchang slapped Qin Wenming on the head, and said, "What nonsense, eat well." Qin Wenchang is four years older than Qin Wenming. He is [-] years old this year. He is already a candidate and is preparing for the next exam. Tall and handsome, with the same unsmiling smile as Qin Shangqing, Qin Wenming was most afraid of his big brother, retracted his hand embarrassingly, and buried his head in eating.

Qin Wenhui and Qin Wenguang were about the same age as Song Yi and An Ruyu. The four of them sat in a row, and they talked with each other, but they got along well with each other.Qin Wenchang's husband's name is Zhou Tong. He has a calm personality and a very elegant appearance. He doesn't speak a word, and there is a faint smile on his mouth.

Song Chu felt a little awkward at the beginning of a table full of strangers, An Rubao occasionally added some dishes for him, and then slowly let go after a few words.

Compared with the children at the same table, the adults here are a bit embarrassed. Qin Zhengyuan and his wife tried their best to ease the atmosphere. Yan Ruo and Qin Shangqing's husband Yang Xin also said some words to smooth things over from time to time, but the expressions on the faces of the others were still not natural, nor did they People take the initiative to talk, and eating a meal is extremely boring, not to mention tasteless, and it is definitely not happy, so after eating, Qin Feng and An Xuan sat down for a while, and took the child with them on the ground of being tired. Back to Fengyuan.

After breakfast in Fengyuan the next day, Qin Feng and An Xuan took Song Yi and An Ruyu to Xiangyuan to talk with Qin Zhengyuan and his wife. After greeting grandparents and grandparents, they took Song Chu to the outside of the Qin residence.

Met Qin Wenchang and his wife on the road, Qin Wenchang nodded to them, Zhou Tong smiled and asked: "Cousin, are you going out?" An Rubao said: "I want to take Xiao Chu out for a walk , Cousin, brother, where are you going?" Zhou Tong said: "Go to my family, my family is in the city."

Without saying a word, they arrived at the gate, and there was a carriage parked at the gate, and the servants were busy loading things on the carriage, presumably it was a New Year gift for Zhou Tong's family, An Rubao said hello to Qin Wenchang and his wife , leading Song Chu to leave.
