From the end to the other world

In the next spring, Xiaotuanzi will be seven years old, and apart from homework, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue will have almost nothing to worry about.

But most of the homework is also taught by Qin Yan.

The family is harmonious and beautiful, and business affairs are already on the right track. Qin Luochuan found that he seemed to be free all of a sudden.

He is not the kind of person who sets his life goal on his career, and what he has done in the past few years is enough to make his name immortal.

When Qin Luochuan found himself idle, his first thought was to take Shang Qingyue out for a while. After all, before Xiaotuanzi was born, he gave Shang Qingyue this promise on the way from Yuxi Town to the capital. Well, now that Xiaotuanzi is so big, he himself can be regarded as successful in his career, and as a prince, he is not short of money, so if he doesn't go now, he will wait.

Although Xiaotuanzi was sensible early, he was only seven years old after all. When he learned that his father and father were going to go out together for a few months, he was so shocked that he couldn't accept it.

Although in the first few years when Qin Luochuan came to Rongcheng, Qin Luochuan was away from home for many times a year because of Yunjiang's affairs, but at least Shang Qingyue stayed by his side all the time, and even if Qin Luochuan left home, he was still in Danzhou, so it didn't count. Far, not like this time.

Xiaotuanzi hadn't shown such a pitiful expression for a long, long time. As soon as Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue saw it, they thought at the time, why don't they go, or bring Xiaotuanzi with Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was unwilling. He fought with his elder brother a year earlier, and later traveled around by himself. He had visited all the famous places in Dayan more than once, and now he is taking his grandson with peace of mind in Rongcheng. I want to move.

I don't know what Qin Yan told Xiaotuanzi, but the next day Xiaotuanzi found Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue. Although he was a little bit reluctant, he still said firmly, "Father, you can rest assured and go play, I will take good care of grandpa at home of."

After speaking, she blushed a little and said that if it was convenient, I hope my father and dad would remember to bring gifts for him and grandpa.

"Okay." Qin Luochuan patted the top of his son's head, "After two years, father and father will take you out to play together."

Xiaotuanzi nodded seriously, his eyes were bright, full of anticipation.

It's not that Qin Luochuan has to leave his son behind and go out with Shang Qingyue by himself, but no matter how sensible Xiaotuanzi is, he's only seven years old, and the means of transportation for traveling here are a bit backward after all, so they should wait until they are older before they can rest assured.

There is still the child at home with his father, Qin Luochuan didn't want to go out to play for too long, starting from Rongcheng, Yuxi Town as the end point, planned to stay there for half a month, and then come back around, the travel time is planned in five Within a month, in this way, the family can come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

It was the beginning of March when they set off, which was the season of recovery of all things. The two of them didn't bring too many followers, and the few people who were there followed them far away. Unless necessary, they would not disturb them at other times. .

Traveling to the east, there is a picture-like scenery. Qin Luochuan very wisely abandoned the carriage and rode with Shang Qingyue alone in order to better appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Although riding a horse is convenient, the comfort level is still a bit low, especially for people like Shang Qingyue who don't ride horses often.

At this time, Qin Luochuan would let him ride with him, or find a place with a good view to rest for a few days.

It was so leisurely and leisurely. It didn't take a month's journey to catch up, but the two of them walked for two full months.

It was already summer when we arrived in Yuxi Town.

Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets, the memories of the past surged for a while, Shang Qingyue said with emotion: "I still remember that we walked around this town more than once in order to find a suitable shop for opening a teahouse."

Qin Luochuan said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look later, I heard that Brother He's business is not bad."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue nodded, "Let's go to Third Uncle's house first."

Although they haven't been back these years, they have always been in touch with the third uncle's family. They know that their family has opened a shop in the town now, and that Shang Minghuai is going to take the exam this year, and they are living a good life.

When the two sent a letter saying that they would come back, they told the third uncle to go to their house first to settle down.

It is estimated that when they knew they were coming, the third uncle's family made full preparations, and when the two arrived at the door, the porter shouted and went in to report.

Immediately afterwards, the third uncle's family also ran out in a hurry, and before they got close, they heard the hearty laughter of the third aunt, "Master, please show me, my clothes are appropriate?"

After seeing the person, the smiles on the faces of the whole family became brighter. It was the third uncle who reacted first and took the third aunt to salute Ming Huai, "I have seen the prince..."

Before they finished speaking, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue stepped forward to stop them: "Third Uncle, please get up, we're here just for fun, the family doesn't need to be polite."

The third uncle and Shang Minghuai are both scholars, and they both obey the rules very well. After hearing Qin Luochuan's words, they hesitated for a while, but did not get up. In the end, the third aunt said straightforwardly: "Okay, then sit in the room, you guys It must be tiring to come all this way.”

The two walked all the way to the main hall, looking all the way.

The layout and furnishings of Sanjin's house are not gorgeous, but it looks very warm.

After sitting in the main hall for a while, and chatting with each other about the recent situation, Qin Luochuan asked, "Is there someone to inform Brother He and the others?"

"When you just entered the door, I sent someone to notify you," the third aunt said with a smile, "Since Mr. Yang came back half a month ago, someone will come over every other day to ask if you are here, for fear that you will come back. have no idea."

The Lord Yang mentioned by the third aunt is naturally Yang Xi. He left the Imperial Academy last year to work in the household department. Promoted.

It can be said that he is a successful young man with an unlimited future.

Two months ago, after receiving a letter from Qin Luochuan that he wanted to return to Rongcheng, he took a leave of absence from the emperor, brought his husband and children back to visit relatives, and was able to get together with friends.

Just as they were talking, there was a loud noise outside, and then Yang Xi and He Feixing arrived at the door.

He Feixing always leaves Yuxi town to inspect other places every year. He went to Danzhou the year before last. He even went to Rongcheng to visit Qin Luochuan, so it wasn't too long since he hadn't seen each other.

With Yang Xi, they haven't seen each other since Qin Luochuan left the capital.

Having not seen each other for six years, Yang Xi seemed to be a lot more mature and stable, but from the yells he heard just now, Qin Luochuan knew that his friend still had the same personality as before.

So when he saw Yang Xi salute and shouted "I have seen the son of the world", she didn't stop her.

The two were already good friends, and they have exchanged letters over the years. Even though they haven't seen each other for a long time, they don't feel unfamiliar. After sitting down, Yang Xi said: "I can finally say it in front of you. After the emperor announced the existence of King Qin, my colleagues looked at me with envy full of envy, especially when it was rumored that you were a prince living abroad, the expression on your face was wonderful."

Yang Xi had mentioned this to him in the letter at the beginning, but fortunately, the population of the royal family is simple, and the relationship between the emperor and the three brothers is good, so there is no suspicion. good thing.

But even if the emperor and the prince don't care, gossip among the ministers will definitely be indispensable. Even if Yang Xi doesn't say anything, Qin Luochuan can guess that there must be jealousy, especially seeing Yang Xi's promotion all the way. Take out the relationship.

The two of them didn't have a deep talk in the letter before, and now there is nothing they can't talk about when they meet, so Qin Luochuan asked: "There are a lot of troubles, right?"

"Who cares about those?" Yang Xi shrugged nonchalantly. He was able to be promoted so quickly, and he knew that he must have been honored by Qin Luochuan and his family. Compared with these, those insignificant troubles are not worth mentioning at all. .

After a short pause, he said again: "But because I knew the identity of King Qin in advance, I have been stared at by my cousin and Brother Wen for several days."

He Feixing coughed lightly at the side when he heard the words, but did not speak.

Qin Luochuan smiled, Yang Xi was the only one among these people who had guessed it long ago, after the matter was made public, and thinking of all the previous things, Wen Shiyan and He Feixing would definitely realize that Yang Xi knew it a long time ago, and it would probably be depressing to give him a supercilious look. He knew it all, but he didn't know it yet.

Speaking of Wen Shiyan, Qin Luochuan asked: "Princess Mingxin is going to give birth soon, right?"

"It's almost this month." Yang Xi didn't know what kind of expression to put on, "If it wasn't like this, the princess still said that she wanted to come to Yuxi Town together."

Wen Shiyan's loving relationship with Princess Mingxin these years can be regarded as a model in Beijing. If it wasn't for the imminent birth, Wen Shiyan would really follow the princess's will.

After talking about other things, Yang Xi realized that his attention had been diverted, and he reiterated: "I was just talking about the supercilious look I received!"

Qin Luochuan laughed, "Then what kind of compensation do you want?"

"Just invite me to the teahouse for a meal." Yang Xi immediately replied, obviously thinking about the answer long ago.

Now even He Feixing couldn't hold back and spat softly: "Look at your talent."

Qin Luochuan also asked: "Have you not eaten all these days since you came back?"

"I didn't go, I plan to go together when you come," Yang Xi took it for granted, and then sighed, "You don't know how difficult it is to get a number in the teahouses in the capital now. If you want to eat those special dishes, no. It's all scheduled for next year. You are not here, Princess Ning is managing the teahouse, and I am embarrassed to use special cases often, so I only go there once or twice a year."

The teahouse in the capital is managed by Princess Ning, and the one in Yuxi Town is managed by He Feixing, but Qin Luochuan and the others still occupy a share. Although they have not been involved in the business anymore, they have indeed received more and more money every year in the past few years. The bonus is more.

It must have been dinner at the third aunt's house at noon, so Qin Luochuan said, "We'll go to the teahouse to get together that night, and you can order whatever you want."

"Okay." Yang Xi replied happily.

When Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue returned to Yuxi Town this time, their purpose was to reunite with their friends, but more importantly, they wanted to revisit their old places.

So after living in the town for two days, I told my third aunt that I planned to go back to Chengjia Village.

The old lady Shang passed away a few years ago, and the uncle's room also went to Lin County with Shang Feiyao. According to people, life is not easy, and there is no need to worry about disgusting people appearing in Chengjia Village, so the third aunt is very straightforward. He replied: "I have been taking care of your former house for the past few years. I went to tidy it up again a few days ago, and everything that needs to be used in it is also prepared. Tomorrow, I will pick a few servants to go there with you. .”

Qin Luochuan said: "You don't need too many people, just find someone who does laundry and cooks."

***

The third aunt has indeed taken care of the house well. There is no sign of dilapidation in the place where no one has lived in for several years. Even the corners are clean and tidy. Places that can be seen at a glance, such as the main hall and bedrooms, are said to be Cannot be overemphasized.

After looking around the whole house, Qin Luochuan suggested: "When we return to Rongcheng, let the third aunt help take care of this place, and bring Xiaotuanzi over in two years, let him see how we lived before. The place."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue nodded and said, the third uncle's family has been able to quickly gain a foothold in the town in recent years, no matter in terms of money or contacts, they have helped a lot, and let the third aunt take care of it After visiting the old house, she would definitely agree.

This is their original home, even after being away for many years, the familiar feeling will come back immediately after walking around inside.

At noon, Shang Qingyue also specially sent away the cook who was ordered by the third aunt to cook, and cooked a few dishes by herself.

It's not a very delicate thing, but because it uses freshly picked vegetables from the field, and Qin Luochuan helped Shang Qingyue fry it by herself, and it's still in this home full of memories, so it will naturally feel particularly delicious.

After lunch, the cook left the dishes and chopsticks to clean up, and the two of them moved the reclining chairs to rest in the yard, which was a habit they had in the past.

The sun in early summer is already a bit strong, but because there is a stream not far in front of the house, and it is at the foot of the mountain, there is always a gentle wind blowing, and the rustling of the leaves above the head makes people dizzy like a lullaby sleepy.

The two of them did fall asleep.

It's just that it's not advisable to sleep for a long time in the afternoon, but within the time of a stick of incense, Qin Luochuan woke up, and after waiting for a while, he woke up Shang Qingyue too.

It's been half a day since they all came back, but no one in the village came to bother them. It seemed that Uncle San had told the village chief, so Qin Luochuan stretched himself and said, "Let's go for a walk in the mountains behind."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue jumped up.

The back mountain is the place where the two met for the first time, and those secret and unspeakable emotions are also born there, but the two of them tacitly did not go to the place where they first met, but turned to the place where they had a special impression before. After the circle, the road that was taken when returning.

It was already evening.

Eight years, for these alpine trees, is just a short moment in the long river of time. It is nothing more than the trees on the roadside growing taller than before.

In the dim light and shadow, everything seemed to coincide with the evening when we first met.

The closer they got, the faster their hearts beat, and they were eagerly looking for an exit with abundant emotions.

People in the wilderness can't do anything else, and words become the best tool at this time.

Qin Luochuan smiled and said, "This is the first place we met." His tone was very gentle, revealing joy and happiness that could be seen through at a glance.

Shang Qingyue rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and when she raised her head again, half of the sweetness in her expression disappeared, and the other half couldn't be concealed anymore, and it was mixed with strangeness and anxiety, "Excuse me, how far is it from here to Lijia Village?" How to go?"

This is the first sentence they said when they first met.

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and pointed the way cooperatively.

But if they follow the direction he pointed, the destination is not Lijiacun, but their home in Chengjiacun.

How could Shang Qingyue not know the difference, but still thanked as if she didn't notice, "Thank you."

After he took two steps, Qin Luochuan immediately shouted again: "It's getting dark, I'll take you back."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue nodded after hesitating for a moment.

The two remained the same as before, with Shang Qingyue walking in front and Qin Luochuan following behind.

In the familiar scene, Shang Qingyue couldn't help recalling her own feelings at that time. At that time, he had only been here for a few days, lost his way in the mountains, and then someone offered to send him back, even if he told himself that the other party didn't look like a bad person, But still too scared.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at Qin Luochuan, with love that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.

At that time, how could he have thought that the person who sent him back would become his husband.

The road is not long, especially for the two who are immersed in the charming atmosphere.

Soon we arrived at the pine forest that we must pass down the mountain.

A few years have passed, the pine forest is still dense, and the inside is even darker. Even with Qin Luochuan's eyesight, he can barely see the road under his feet.

Qin Luochuan took a step forward and said as before, "Follow me."

However, what he handed over this time was no longer a dead branch, but an upwardly stretched left hand.

Without any hesitation, Shang Qingyue put her right hand on it, "Okay."

It was dark in the pine forest, and the two of them clasped their fingers tightly together, almost touching their bodies.

In the quiet environment, even talking loudly is afraid of disturbing something, so Qin Luochuan lowered his voice, "Did my husband send you through this pine forest back then, and I felt very safe, and then fell in love with my husband?" gone?"

"No," even though the two had been in the same heart for many years, and the time when his heart moved was not long after they met, Shang Qingyue still chose to tell the truth, "You must not know that I was actually scared at the beginning. I hide the scissors in my sleeves and dare not let go, for fear of meeting a disciple."

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

In the dim pine forest, after a rustle, Qin Luochuan's unsatisfactory voice sounded, "Then I have to let you feel the style of a disciple."

Shang Qingyue's breathing was still not steady, and she asked after a while: "Did your husband fall in love with me at this time?"

The two had already walked out of the pine forest at this time, and the bright moonlight was shining white, Qin Luochuan also shook his head and said, "No."

The moonlight reflected in Shang Qingyue's eyes seemed to be three points dim, but she still raised her head and asked, "When was that?"

Qin Luochuan smiled, "The first time I saw you, I knew you were the only light in this world that could shine into my heart."

Hearing Qinghui's description, Shang Qingyue blushed instantly to the root of her neck.

I even think it's a pity that my husband doesn't write a picture book.

When the two went back, the cook had already prepared the meals, told them that there were still some peaches frozen in the well, and left instead of staying here.

There were only the two of them in the house, and the other houses in the village were also some distance away. If it weren't for the occasional barking of dogs from a distance, it would have been as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

This unprecedented feeling, for the two of them who came out to play, was fresh and tinged with secret joy.

According to the plan, they stayed here for ten days, and then went to the town to live for a few days, and then Yang Xi returned to the capital, they took a short walk together, and Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue returned to Rongcheng by another route.

As a result, on the night of the eighth day, Shang Qingyue suddenly developed a fever, and it took most of the night to lower the temperature. Thinking that he was easily tired these days, Qin Luochuan planned to go back to town directly the next morning.

Shang Qingyue had an experience once, when she woke up, she blushed and said, "Go find someone to give me a pulse."

When he said this, Qin Luochuan also realized something, and immediately went out to call someone.

When they came out to play, although they didn't bring many followers, there were people who should meet, and one of them was very good at medicine.

Although the followers did not live with them, they were all waiting in the village, and Qin Luochuan quickly found them.

There are not too strict rules in this dynasty, and Shang Qingyue is not a woman, so Qin Luochuan directly brought the man into the house, and asked the man to feel Shang Qingyue's pulse.

After a while, the entourage stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, little master, you are very happy."

Although he probably guessed the result, Qin Luochuan was overwhelmed by the momentary joy when he got the confirmed information. He didn't expect that after so many years, they would have a second child again, and couldn't help it in front of his followers. , leaned over to hug Shang Qingyue, and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

It was only later that Qin Luochuan found out that Shang Qingyue had been alive for a month and a half, counting days, it should have been on the road.

Thinking of riding horses, climbing mountains and wading all the way, both of them felt a little scared.

He immediately decided to stay here for a month and a half, and return to Rongcheng after three months of stability.

So on the tenth day, the third aunt's family came to pick them up in person, and reluctantly said that they wanted them to stay here for a longer time.

Qin Luochuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid I will have to live here for more than a month."

He smiled softly, while Shang Qingyue lowered her head and did not speak.

The third aunt was so keen, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is this true?"

Qin Luochuan nodded and replied, "Yes."

"This is a happy event," the third aunt immediately stood up and said, "I'm going back to the town now, and I'll prepare some food and supplies to send over."

They just sat down and didn't even finish their cup of tea when Qin Luochuan stopped him and said, "Don't worry."

"It's such an important matter, how can we not be in a hurry." The one who said this was the third uncle who had always accepted gifts in a rigid manner, so Qin Luochuan let them go.

In the afternoon of the same day, the third aunt brought a carriage of things over.

In the morning of the second day, Yang Xi and He Feixing also delivered the things in person.Yang Xi still couldn't help teasing Qin Luochuan and said, "If you still want a child next time, come to Yuxi Town again."

Qin Luochuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but although Yang Xi's words were absurd, he couldn't refute them. At that time, he and Shang Qingyue got married less than a year ago and had Xiaotuanzi, but there was no movement for the next seven years. This time, he hadn't reached Yuxi yet town, there it is again.

And when he crossed over, he also appeared in Yuxi Town.

There is indeed an indissoluble relationship with this place.

Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue stayed here until the end of July before leaving for Rongcheng.

It's just that this time I didn't go around to play anymore, and I tried to go by water as much as I could. Even if there was no waterway, I would take the carriage modified by Qin Luochuan himself.

Try not to make Shang Qingyue tired all the way, so it will naturally take longer.

It was already mid-August when the two arrived home, but it was still in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After Qin Yan and Xiaotuanzi received their letter, they had already prepared the things at home, especially Xiaotuanzi, who even thought about how to teach his younger brother to practice calligraphy and reading in the future.

In the first month of the second year, the second baby was born. The gender was the same as that of his elder brother, but his personality was completely different. Since he could crawl, his daily goal was to get out of the cradle. After he could walk, he was even more naughty. The adults in the family Not enough to worry about him.

Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue couldn't help wondering whether it was because of their nickname Xiaowanzi that they were so naughty.
