From the end to the other world

After reading the letter, Qin Luochuan felt the people around him relax slowly.

Shang Qingyue also breathed a sigh of relief, the best news is that her brother is safe and sound.

After a while, Shang Qingyue raised her head to look at the shopkeeper on the opposite side, and asked hesitantly, "Did you send a message to... the capital?"

"The news has already been passed on," the shopkeeper said with a smile, "I knew you would ask, when the letter came from Rongcheng, the news it brought along with it said that it was a letter sent directly to Beijing by the second son of Shang."

Shang Qingyue nodded and said, "That's good."

After waiting for a while, seeing that he didn't speak, the shopkeeper asked again: "Does the third son still need to send a message to Rongcheng?"

Shang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not needed for now."

Now that they know that their brother is safe, there is no major issue here, so there is no need to communicate frequently by letters, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to his brother. Anyway, there is the line of Zhou Ji, so it is convenient to pass any news.

When the two left, the shopkeeper still sent them to the door, and the man who sent them the news went to the backyard to pull the carriage out, and also fed the horses some fodder during this time.

When Qin Luochuan took the reins, he grabbed a copper coin from his purse and handed it over, "Take it and buy some snacks."

The man hurriedly said, "You can't take the small ones."

"Take it," Qin Luochuan finished speaking and glanced at the shopkeeper standing by the door, "It's fine."

The shopkeeper also nodded and said, "Just accept it if I give it to you."

The man thanked him and took it with both hands.

The two of them bought less than half of the things they wanted to buy today, but Qin Luochuan guessed that Shang Qingyue didn't have the mood to continue shopping right now, so he said, "Shall we go back now?"

Shang Qingyue wanted to go back, but felt a little embarrassed, "There are still some things I haven't bought."

"It's not too late to buy it tomorrow." Qin Luochuan said.

"Okay." Shang Qingyue got into the carriage first after finishing speaking.

Qin Luochuan smiled, followed and sat down in front of the carriage, raised his whip, and drove the carriage towards home.

On the way back, Shang Qingyue kept holding the bamboo tube containing the letter and was reluctant to let go. Seeing his satisfied face, Qin Luochuan could empathize with him at first, but after a long time, it became a little tasteful.

He glanced at the gray sky in the distance and said, "Qingyue, do you feel that it's extraordinarily cold today?"

After that time, if the weather wasn't really bad, Shang Qingyue would sit in front of the carriage with Qin Luochuan when the two of them returned from the town to the village. After hearing Qin Luochuan say that it was extremely cold, she then raised her head and looked at Tiandao: " Looks like it's going to snow."

After speaking, he turned around and searched in the carriage behind, turned over a glove and handed it to Qin Luochuan, saying, "Husband, you won't be cold if you wear this."

Qin Luochuan glanced at the gloves handed in front of him, feeling as if he had jumped into a hole he dug. He asked Shang Qingyue to make the gloves before, so that it would not be easy to freeze his hands when driving a carriage in cold weather. Er Shang Qingyue really turned it out and put it on for him.

But who is Qin Luochuan, how could he give up so easily, so he took the rein in one hand, and stretched out the other hand in front of Shang Qingyue and said, "Help me put it on."

Shang Qingyue did not suspect him, and really helped Qin Luochuan put on the gloves carefully, but before putting on the gloves, he put the bamboo tube containing the letter in his arms properly before starting to move.

Qin Luochuan: ...

After a while, he said again: "Qingyue, do you feel cold?"

"It's not cold." Shang Qingyue shook her head, she didn't understand what happened to her husband today, the sky was a bit gloomy, but there was no wind, and it wasn't as cold as the previous few days.

Qin Luochuan said solemnly: "Why do I feel a little cold?"

Shang Qingyue hesitated and said: "Then... how about you stay in the carriage and I'll drive it?"

"No need," Qin Luochuan said, "Just lean closer."

Hearing this, Shang Qingyue skillfully moved her cloak to her body and hugged it, then got into Qin Luochuan's cloak, and as soon as she touched it, she felt the familiar temperature.

Just as Shang Qingyue was about to ask something, she was so blessed immediately, thinking of her husband's anomaly just now, and after getting into the carriage, she held the bamboo tube to herself and didn't talk to her husband. She couldn't laugh or cry, but the joy in her heart quickly the spread.

Shang Qingyue leaned towards Qin Luochuan as usual, and asked, "Do you feel better now?"

"Hmm... I feel much better." Qin Luochuan said.

When he was about to get home, it began to snow densely like goose feathers. Afraid that Shang Qingyue would catch a cold, Qin Luochuan asked him to stay in the carriage first, while he drove the carriage towards home quickly.

When I got home, the roof tiles were completely white, and snow began to accumulate on the ground.

Seeing them coming back, Qin Yan was a little surprised and said, "Why are you back today?"

There are shops in the town, and if it gets late, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue will stay in the town for one night.Last night when Shang Qingyue wrote the list of things to buy, Qin Yan was watching from the side. There were so many things, they might not be able to buy all of them in one day today, let alone it was so early.

Fearing that Shang Qingyue would lose face, Qin Luochuan didn't say the real reason for coming back early, but said: "It's going to snow, come back quickly."

"Then quickly go into the house to warm up." Qin Yan didn't pursue his obvious lie, "I just made a charcoal basin."

"Qingyue, let's go into the house first," Qin Luochuan said, "I'll unload the things in the carriage first."

"Let's go together." Shang Qingyue said.

Luoxue was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was better to unload things early and go into the house to stay comfortably.

The three of them moved a little each, and quickly moved all the things in the carriage. Qin Luochuan unloaded the carriage again, led the horse to the backyard to feed the fodder, and then returned to the main room.

In order to prevent the air-conditioning from outside the house from being brought in, Qin Luochuan took off the cloak on his body at the door, shook the snow behind him, opened the door just wide enough for a person, and then quickly slipped in.

Seeing him coming in, Shang Qingyue got up, took his cloak and hung it aside.

After Qin Luochuan sat down by the fire, he rubbed his hands together before asking, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Let's talk about what to eat tonight." Qin Yan said.

"Oh?" Qin Luochuan asked, "Then what did you eat after the discussion?"

"I agree with Qingyue that we can warm the pot of wine," Qin Yan said, "but I haven't decided what to eat yet."

Qin Luochuan smiled and said, "Do you even need to think about it? Of course it's snowing."

"It means to eat the pot," Shang Qingyue said, "It's just that my father wants to eat cured pig's trotters, and I want to eat cured pork ribs."

Only then did Qin Luochuan realize that they were waiting for him here.

It was too cold during this time, he was not willing to let Shang Qingyue touch the cold water, and when he was too busy, he was usually the one who was cooking.

Pots are more troublesome than other foods, and they also want to eat differently.

Fortunately, the tastes of these two things are similar, so Qin Luochuan said: "Then make them together, and stew some of the same."

The cured pork ribs and the cured pig's feet have been smoked a lot at home, and they are also chopped from the top of the stove, washed and stewed slowly over a low fire.

When it's about the same time, add soaked dried radish and kelp. The three of them like spicy food, so Qin Luochuan throws in dried chili.

After the dried radish and kelp are cooked, they can be eaten while stewing. After eating the hot and spicy food, they can drink a sip of warm rice wine. Layers of sweat.

Because he ate comfortably, he ate the meal for a long time without realizing it, and quickly finished drinking a pot of wine, Shang Qingyue went to warm another pot.

Knowing that he was happy to receive the news of his brother's safety, Qin Luochuan didn't stop him.

Which Shang Qingyue can only drink so little, and got drunk before drinking half of the second pot.

At first, his face was just blushing, Qin Luochuan didn't realize it yet, he just thought it was hot food, and when he noticed that his eyes were not as flexible as before, he knew that he was really drunk.

Qin Luochuan hurriedly moved the wine pot away, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Shang Qingyue, and took the wine glass away from his hand.

Shang Qingyue didn't notice anything wrong, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then held the cup and looked at Qin Luochuan with a silly smile.

The meal was almost finished, Qin Yan said, "It's getting late, I'm going to wash up and rest, you and Qingyue should go to bed early, and we'll pack things up tomorrow morning."

Qin Yan was going to burn the kang over there, so there was always hot water on the stove, which was convenient for washing in winter.

After Qin Yan returned to the room, Shang Qingyue, who had been looking at Qin Luochuan silently, giggled and said, "Husband, I am really happy today."

"I know," Qin Luochuan nodded, "because I received a letter from my brother."

Qin Luochuan just answered casually, but he didn't know how messy the logic of a drunk person can sometimes be.

Shang Qingyue, who was giggling just now, started to feel aggrieved when she heard the words, and even showed signs of crying, "Brother... I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I miss him so much."

This Qin Luochuan really didn't know how to answer, so he could only find out the bamboo tube containing the letter and said to Shang Qingyue, "Brother is in the military camp and cannot see us. This is a letter from my brother."

Shang Qingyue hugged the bamboo tube in silence for a while, and then said: "My brother is in the barracks, but I failed to guard the house. My brother has no place to live when he returns to Beijing."

Shang Qingyue really started to cry as she spoke, but it was only silent tears.

Qin Luochuan wiped away the tear on Shang Qingyue's cheek with his thumb, and then asked, "How was the place where you lived before?"

If he guessed correctly, the residences of those who committed crimes and were exiled should have been sold by the government.

Sure enough, Shang Qingyue sniffled at the next sentence, "Sold out."

Qin Luochuan thought for a while and said, "Then when we go to the capital, we'll buy that yard. Then we can continue to live there."

"Hehehe, buy it back." Shang Qingyue stopped crying immediately, "I like the place where we lived before, there are many flowers and plants planted by my mother, and there is a tall sycamore tree in the backyard. I made a swing for me to play with, but it was a long time ago, I haven’t played it since I got older, but the swing has never been dismantled, and I don’t know if it’s still there..."

Shang Qingyue ramblingly recalled the past, then changed the subject and said: "But even if I buy the yard back, I don't want to live there forever. I'm already married and I want to live with my husband."

"It's good to just stay once or twice once in a while," Shang Qingyue said again, "to be with my husband."

Qin Luochuan's heart warmed up.

Knowing that Shang Qingyue really wanted to go to the capital, Qin Luochuan did some calculations. If all goes well, he will take the high school exam next autumn, and the next year Chunwei will be able to take Shang Qingyue to the capital together.

Looking at Shang Qingyue who was staring at him obsessively, Qin Luochuan felt pity but couldn't help but be curious. How do you feel.
