Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 225 The Temptation Between Mother and Child (Part [-])
In the torrential rain, there is also a warm relationship.

Qian Li, the son of the old Qian family, came back last night.The neighbors all know that the widow of Lao Qian's family went to the street to buy vegetables early in the morning, and brought a large fish and chopped a large piece of pork.

A few neighbors from next door also came to visit, probably to ask Lao Qian’s son where and what he had studied all these years. Yes, and ran to his own house.The parties involved all ran away, so everyone chatted around Nanny Qian, and the topic suddenly changed from "Young man is young and promising" to "Young man is not young anymore, it's time to stay in the city and find a marriage and start a family." Once you have a career, you can’t study for a lifetime, can you?” Yun Yun.

Praise turned to lamentation.

Qian Momo looked sloppy and chuckled, "It's a good thing that he likes to study. It's better to be a scholar than to serve others like me. After learning, it's easier to find a daughter-in-law..." She is from the surrounding area. Known for his good temper, he squints his eyes and smiles when he talks, and is not in a hurry with anyone.

If it were someone else, I would be annoyed by such an ignorant son, but she never showed it, and never said a harsh word to her son.

A few neighbors were bored talking, and left after a while. When they left, they walked together, pursing their lips as they walked, exchanging the subtext of expressions that everyone knew well-to find a wife?What are you thinking!A lot of old people who don't stay at home every day... Which girl is willing to jump into this fire pit!

Nanny Qian knew what they were thinking.

After all, it is a person who has served most of his life in front of the nobles. If he can't even see what these old ladies are thinking, the work of serving people for this half of his life will be for nothing.

It's just that there's no need to fight, not to mention that there's no reason for the fight, even if the fight is won, what's the point?After she finished cooking, she still smiled and called her son, "Lili, come out to eat!"

The shy young man poked his head out from the inside, first looked around, but didn't see the neighbors with bad mouths, so he tugged on his clothes that didn't fit well, and rubbed his sleeves to help serve the meal Holding the bowl, "Mother, are you still working in the Eastern Palace?"

Suddenly mentioning the Eastern Palace, Qian Momo was slightly taken aback, always feeling that those things seemed so far away in the last life.She sat down and shook her head, and tried her best to pick up vegetables for her son, and quickly piled up a bowl full, Qian Li shook her head and said that she couldn't eat enough, but she was still picking up vegetables, and asked him, "How long will you be back this time? "

Qian Li hesitated for a moment, "It's still undecided... What's wrong? Is mother... in a hurry to go back to work?"

The mother and son looked at each other and felt that the other was a little strange.

Qian Li was away all the year round, and every time before he arrived in the capital, he wrote a letter telling him about the date, and his mother had already taken leave early, and never asked about the departure date, probably because she was afraid of parting, it was not like this time, it seems Shang Shang was not very happy about his return, but seemed anxious to go back to work.

And Qian Momo also felt that her son was a little strange, not to mention that he was coming back this year, but since he was studying, how could he just come back?Moreover, Qian Li never asks about his errands, he always feels that serving others is a particularly shameful thing, so he never asks, never mentions it, let alone mentions to his "classmates" that his mother is serving others of.

Even, because of this matter, the mother and son had a big quarrel. Afterwards, Mammy Qian was careful not to mention the errand matters.I didn't expect my son to take the initiative to ask today... He seemed to care.

The hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly, and Qian Momo calmed down and said softly, "I'm not in the East Palace anymore... You don't like me in the East Palace, so I won't stay here anymore. I didn't want to do this job of serving people at first, but the girl temporarily She is short of people, she likes to eat Jiangnan dishes, I happen to know some, and the wages are quite high. I don’t need to do other work, so I cook some Jiangnan dishes for her occasionally, less work and more money... If you think it’s not suitable, I will declined to go..."

Although Qian Momo had doubts in her heart, she didn't think too much about it.As he said that, he took another piece of meat for Qian Li, smiled apologetically, and looked a little apprehensive, "The master is a girl's family, and he is very talkative, unlike other masters, he is superior."

Qian Li shook his head and said he couldn't eat it, and took the piece of meat back. His eyes were a little strange and complicated, he looked at his mother, and asked cautiously, "Girl's house... which girl has left the house to live alone?"

"Not really, she came from Jiangnan. She is...a kind girl, and she lives with Miss Shen. Miss Shen, you know, Xu Si's family... is also very talkative. Let me help her in the yard. I watered my vegetables and said thank you..."

Qian Li didn't remember what was going on in the back, and he wasn't interested. He just leaned over excitedly and interrupted Qian Momo's thoughts, "Mother, what's the girl's name?"

The mood was a little weird.

Qian Momo looked at him suspiciously again, put the rice that he had brought with the chopsticks into her bowl when he got up, and then murmured dissatisfiedly, "How old is he, to be so reckless. That girl's surname is Ji. Why, is it the girl you met when you were studying? Let me tell you, that girl is better than many girls in our city. It has been rumored for the past two days, saying what kind of Jiang, Jiang is she? The old closed door disciple, that old Jiang is amazing... hey, where are you going?"

Before he finished speaking, Qian Li hurriedly got up and walked out.

He didn't take the umbrella leaning against the door, so he rushed straight into the pouring rain.

Qian Momo hurriedly got up and called out loudly, "Hey, your lunch..."

In the sound of the heavy rain pouring down, the back of the other party who had already reached the door did not stop, just waved his hand with his back to the room, "Wait for me to come back to eat!" The voice was high, and his steps were brisk, and his whole body seemed to be full of wind and rain. Unobstructed and bright.

Like a layer of light plating.

Qian Momo stared blankly, and couldn't tell for a while how long it had been since she had seen Qian Li in such high spirits.Every time he came back in the past few years, he was gloomy and timid, as if he was carrying a huge shell, but whenever there was any trouble, he retracted himself into the shell.

Just now... the shell seems to be broken.

Qian Momo looked at the untouched lunch on the table, then glanced at the heavy rain, shook her head, with a somewhat helpless wry smile, "This child, it's a big deal, he also brought an umbrella... Go out and take a shower like this, you won't catch the wind and cold..."
