From the end to the other world

It was still early when we went out, and there were only a few pedestrians except for the stalls selling breakfast on the side of the road.

The two rode together, with Shang Qingyue sitting in the front, held in Qin Luochuan's arms, and exited the city from the south gate.

Although there were few people on the road, the movement between the two of them on horseback was not small, which always attracted the attention of the peddlers on both sides.

Shang Qingyue was no better than Qin Luochuan, after being looked at a few more times, she couldn't help feeling a little shy, and muttered, "I would have come out in a carriage if I knew it earlier."

"Don't worry about it," Qin Luochuan laughed, "They don't know you anyway."

Shang Qingyue said: "But they may know you."

Qin Luochuan was puzzled, just about to ask these peddlers how they knew him, when Shang Qingyue said: "Husband just won the number one prize and went to the street a few months ago. Many of them must have seen it and remembered it."

"If you remember it, you will remember it," Qin Luochuan said with a smile, "just to let them know that this official has already got his name."

Shang Qingyue didn't know why her husband made so many nonsense remarks, and he often said it with confidence, leading him astray.

But after being told by Qin Luochuan, he was indeed not as embarrassed as before, and passers-by let them watch if they wanted to.

So she raised her head and looked at the scene on the street, which Shang Qingyue had never seen in the past many years.

The morning sun has not yet risen, and there is still mist in the buildings, and the wind that blows towards us seems to be fresher than usual.

Seeing that he was interested, Qin Luochuan pulled the reins to slow down the horse.

When the two of them walked near the Bibo Lake outside the city, the sun had just risen, and the dazzling orange light jumped out from the lake, sprinkled thousands of pieces of gold.

Shang Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "It's so beautiful."

Hearing the words, Qin Luochuan simply pulled the reins, stopped the horse in place, and asked, "Haven't you seen it before?"

"I seldom came here before," Shang Qingyue said, "Even if something happened occasionally, it was always in the carriage."

Although Shuang'er doesn't have as many rules as women, but whether it's freedom or what he can do, he is inferior to men after all. Shang Qingyue grew up in the capital, and she has never even seen the sunrise on the Bibo Lake in the suburbs of Beijing.

While Qin Luochuan was surprised, his heart was filled with pity, and he tightened his arms around Shang Qingyue's waist, saying: "Not only the Bibo Lake at sunrise, but also the vast mountains and rivers, there are many beautiful places. "

Shang Qingyue smiled brilliantly when she heard the words, turned her head and said, "Will your husband take me to see it?"

"Yes." Qin Luochuan rested his chin on Shang Qingyue's shoulder, bringing their faces to each other, and then said, "When Xiao Tuanzi grows up, we'll go out for a walk."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue answered.

Apart from the two of them, there were no other people around, only the birds chirping in the nearby woods, maybe it was the influence of the environment, or maybe the mood at this time made him want to talk to Qin Luochuan. Get closer, so instead of avoiding Qin Luochuan's closeness, he rubbed his face affectionately when their faces were touching.

The two have been married for so long, although Shang Qingyue was taken by Qin Luochuan to occasionally take the initiative, but this was the first time outside the house. While enjoying it, Qin Luochuan secretly decided to take him out more often when he had time in the future.

The sunrise time in autumn is always so short. The two of them just stopped by the lake for a while, and the sun jumped out of the horizon, and lost the surprise when it first came out.

Shang Qingyue sat up straight and said, "Husband, let's go."

"Okay." Qin Luochuan flicked the reins, and the two continued on their way.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the two stopped in front of a Zhuangzi.

Shang Qingyue asked after dismounting: "Where is this?"

"Brother Wen's Zhuangzi." Qin Luochuan said.

After speaking, he knocked on the closed door of Zhuangzi, and the door opened after a while. A young man poked his head out, looked Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue up and down, and asked, "Master Qin?"

"En." Qin Luochuan nodded in response.

After the young man confirmed it was him, he said, "Master Qin and Fulang Qin, please wait for a while, the things you want have already been prepared, and I will bring them to you now."

Qin Luochuan: "Okay."

After listening to their conversation, Shang Qingyue waited for the young man to enter the Zhuangzi, and asked, "Husband, aren't we here as guests?"

Qin Luochuan laughed, and said inscrutablely, "Yes, and no."

After a while, the young man came back, with a small bamboo basket in his hand, and handed it to Qin Luochuan, saying: "Everything you want is in it, the other sacks and bamboo poles are in the forest behind the mountain, you can follow the road behind Zhuangzi You can see it on the trail.”

Qin Luochuan finished the basket, nodded and said, "Thank you."

The young man said: "The young master has ordered, it should be done."

Qin Luochuan turned around and helped Shang Qingyue onto the horse, but this time he didn't go up again, but held the rein in front of him with a basket.

He didn't go up, Shang Qingyue sat on the horse alone, grasped the edge of the saddle nervously, and asked, "Are we going up the mountain?"

"Yes." Qin Luochuan replied.

He doesn't need to explain, because after bypassing Zhuangzi, you can see the forest full of fruits on the back mountain.

Red plums, yellow pears, and persimmons and chestnuts. Shang Qingyue was stunned when she saw it and said, "If my husband wants to eat these fruits, just ask Uncle Fu to buy some."

It was only after the words were finished that Qin Luochuan hadn't had time to say anything, when he heard him pointing not far away and saying: "I think the chestnuts seem to be ripe, my husband, let's go back and stew some."

Qin Luochuan jokingly said, "Didn't you tell Uncle Fu to buy some if you like it?"

Shang Qingyue stretched out her hands and asked Qin Luochuan to help him get off the horse. After standing firmly on the ground, she gave Qin Luochuan a bad look and ran towards the basket hanging on the tree.

In the fall of the first year when the two got married, he liked that his husband took him to the mountains to pick all kinds of wild fruits and delicacies. Not only could it satisfy his hunger, but also the joy of returning home with a full load made him feel particularly satisfied and happy. .

Even though the family has no shortage of money to buy these things now, Shang Qingyue still wants to pick these fruits all over the mountains and plains.

When Qin Luochuan tied up the reins and passed by, Shang Qingyue was already waiting under the tree, pointing to the chestnuts growing high and said: "The chestnuts on this tree are bigger, we will pick the ones here."

Qin Luochuan smiled, told Shang Qingyue to go further away, and then turned himself onto the tree, holding a bamboo pole and knocking it in the wind and rain, and then there were chestnuts falling on the ground.

As soon as he stopped, Shang Qingyue impatiently took two branches, gathered the scattered chestnuts together, and waited for Qin Luochuan to pry the chestnuts out of the shell.

The chestnut shells of this season have not yet been opened, so it is very laborious to pry them up. Even Qin Luochuan, a veteran, took a lot of time to get all the piles of chestnuts out.

Shang Qingyue held a half-sack of chestnuts in her arms, happily planning how to eat them when she returned home.

Afterwards, the two went to pick some other fruits. Shang Qingyue was also interested, but chestnuts were her favorite.

Lunch was also eaten in the woods. Qin Luochuan found a dead fruit tree, burned it into charcoal, took out the marinated chicken and meat from the basket the boy gave him just now, and roasted it on the fire.

The fragrance of the fruit wood is mixed with the fragrance of the oil, and the index finger can't help but twitch before it's ripe.

The things that Qin Luochuan asked Su Xue to prepare before had already been taken out. A large piece of sackcloth was spread on the flat grass, and then there were green vegetables and noodles wrapped in barbecue, two cucumbers and a small jar of dipping sauce.

After the small pieces of meat were grilled, Qin Luochuan took them off the bamboo sticks and placed them neatly on the washed leaves.

Then he picked up a piece and rolled it in the dipping sauce, wrapped it with green vegetables, added a small piece of cucumber, rolled it into a small ball, handed it to Shang Qingyue and said, "Try to eat it in one bite."

"This..." Shang Qingyue hesitated after taking it, even though there was no one around, it was still out of manner to eat like this.

"It's okay." Qin Luochuan encouraged, the barbecue meat and vegetables he made for Shang Qingyue were not big, and the wrapped ones were no bigger than glutinous rice balls. After speaking, he wrapped one for himself.

Seeing that he was eating deliciously, Shang Qingyue quickly opened her mouth, stuffed the wrapped meat in, and chewed slowly.

Soon Shang Qingyue's eyes brightened up.

The burnt aroma of the barbecue mixed with the rich aroma of the dipping sauce fills the entire mouth with one bite, and is balanced by the crisp and refreshing taste of green vegetables and cucumbers. Even if you eat more, you will not feel greasy.

After swallowing all the food, Shang Qingyue said: "It's delicious."

"As long as you like it," Qin Luochuan said, "That's all we have for lunch today."

Shang Qingyue: "Obviously there are still fruits all over the mountain."

Qin Luochuan froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, there are still mountains full of fruits."

After finishing speaking, he began to slice the grilled chicken. Shang Qingyue followed Qin Luochuan's example, wrapped the meat and vegetables together and ate one, and then fed Qin Luochuan another.

After they were full, the two walked around in the woods before returning to their original spot. Qin Luochuan asked, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

Ever since Xiaotuanzi was born, Shang Qingyue would take him to take a nap in the afternoon, according to his usual habit, he should be sleepy now.

"Is it here?" Shang Qingyue hesitated?

"Well," Qin Luochuan said, "I'll be with you."

According to Qin Luochuan's intention, let him lie on the sackcloth, and then rest on his legs as a pillow, but Shang Qingyue still felt that it would be unseemly to lie down outside, so he just leaned on Qin Luochuan.

The breeze was coming, and the warm sunshine made people feel drowsy, Shang Qingyue said in a daze, "Next time we come out and bring Xiaotuanzi."

"Okay." Qin Luochuan replied casually, stroking Shang Qingyue's back to let him continue to sleep, but he thought in his heart that it was impossible for him to bring Xiaotuanzi so far before he was one year old.

After all, they missed the little dumpling at home, and after Shang Qingyue rested for a while, the two of them headed back home.

It was still early, and when they went back, the two changed paths.

The originally empty Bibo Lake was completely different from when they passed by in the morning. Not only were there a few more boats in the lake, but there were also many pedestrians on the road, as well as villagers selling fruits and small things at stalls.

There were so many people that it was not suitable for horse racing, so the two simply got down, led the horse for a walk, and could even browse the stalls on the side of the road.

Shang Qingyue bought several small things, and played around with a bamboo dragonfly with great interest.

Qin Luochuan found it strange that he had such a childish behavior.

The two stopped and walked, and when there were fewer people on the road, they planned to continue riding back.

As soon as Qin Luochuan helped Shang Qingyue onto the horse, someone ran over and shouted, "Master."

Shang Qingyue turned her head and saw that the person's clothes were shabby and her face was sallow, almost no one came out for a moment, she hesitated and said, "Zhu Yun?"

This person was Zhuyun, the servant girl who followed Shang Qingyue before the merchant had an accident.
