Chapter 379 The Old Man

"Yeah, time flies so fast. Qiu'er is [-] this year, and in a few years it's time to get engaged and get married. I can finally take a rest." Feng Sanniang said lightly, but her eyes were full of happiness shine.The torment of this lifetime finally came to an end.

Feng Qiu is eleven this year, Tang Yuan is twelve, and Qin Miao is thirteen.All three are about the same age.It's just that Qin Miao's sophistication since she was a child makes people feel that she seems to be much older than Feng Qiu.

After Feng Sanniang finished talking about Feng Qiu, she couldn't help but think of Qin Miao's age, a woman of thirteen, shouldn't it be time to start talking about kissing?If you meet a suitable candidate, you can make an appointment when you turn 14 next year. Prepare a dowry for one or two years, and you will be out of the cabinet at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

So she asked Qin Miao: "Did your mother arrange marriage for you? If you really meet the right one, don't be embarrassing. I will come to your door to say kiss for you."

This era pays attention to marrying high and marrying low. To marry a daughter, one must marry a family with a higher family status, and to marry a daughter-in-law, one must marry a family with a lower family status than one’s own.What Feng Sanniang meant was that if Qin Miao fell in love with that high-ranking family and Li's face was too soft to speak up, she could make peace with it, so that Qin Miao could find a good husband's family and everything would go smoothly after marriage.

But Qin Miao is not in the mood to talk about marriage right now. She waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't plan to marry in this life. It's not like I can't support myself. Why do I have to go to someone else's house to suffer?" .”

Feng Sanniang immediately disagreed: "You can't say that, young couples come to keep company, and if you don't get married, how can you have children? If you don't have children, who will take care of you until you die?"

Qin Miao playfully retorted: "You have worked so hard to raise Feng Qiu's money, for him to study, for his scientific examinations, and finally for him to marry a wife, just to let him take care of you until the end of your life? If it were me, I would be free and easy. After a lifetime, I don’t know what will happen after death, anyway.”

Feng Sanniang glared at her: "You're talking nonsense!"

The old and the young closed the door of the shop and chatted for a while.Unknowingly, many customers had accumulated outside the door, so Feng Sanniang had to open the door to continue doing business, and Qin Miao intended to live in the backyard of the cloth shop for a period of time to rest and rest, the shop was lively, life here should not be boring.

Qin Miao came to the backyard and opened the door of the room she used to live in, and found that the room was tidy and there was no dust, it could be seen that Feng Sanniang often sent someone to clean it.Feng Sanniang was also caring, Qin Miao could feel that she was sincerely treating him well.

Entering the room, closing the door, and going to the bed, I immediately found the feeling of living here when I was eight or nine years old.The bed that I thought was a good fit at first seemed a bit small now.Year after year has passed, and I have grown up so silently. Is it true that after next year, I really have to face the unchangeable fate of being engaged and getting married?

But now that Tang Yi was gone, Qin Miao was really afraid, what if she couldn't marry the person she liked in this life?
Lying in the room like this for a while, I thought a lot without borders, and finally my mind got bored and I decided to go out for a walk.

After leaving the cloth shop, I casually found a restaurant to fill my stomach. When I came out of the restaurant, the sun in the afternoon of June was unusually strong, but Qin Miao was used to such a scorching sun on the way from Tangjiazhuang to Tang County, walking in Tang County. It is better to drive on the streets paved with stone slabs in Liqing than on the official roads, thinking that there are eaves along the roads to hide in the shade.

Stepping on the shade covered by the eaves of the people all the way along the street to the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city did not know where to hide from the sun. The shade of the tree all the way to the farm on the outskirts of the city.

The door of the farm was closed tightly, Qin Miao raised her hand and patted it hard a few times, a gust of wind blew by, and the leaves on the big trees outside the farm rustled.Qin Miao waited quietly for a while, seeing that there was no movement inside the door, she raised her hand and slapped the door panel vigorously a few times.

This time there was movement inside the door, and after a while the door opened from the inside.

When seeing Qin Miao standing outside the door, Qin Shaoxian was a little surprised: "Miao Miao, why are you here? Why didn't you write a letter beforehand so that I can pick you up."

Qin Miao passed Qin Shaoxian, walked into the farm, and looked at the large land full of crops. It was still the same as before, but it seemed to be wider.

Qin Shaoxian locked the door again and called Qin Miao into the room for tea.

Qin Miao followed her elder brother to the house, and said as she walked, "Staying in Qizhou City is too boring, so I told my parents to come to Tang County to meet old friends." Those messy things after leaving Qizhou There is no need to let the eldest brother know, so as not to affect his scientific examination, so he changed the subject and asked, "Brother, what were you doing just now, you didn't hear me knocking on the door for so long."

Qin Shaoxian replied: "I was writing a policy theory, and I was too absorbed, so I didn't hear the knock on the door." While talking, the two brothers and sisters had already entered the room.

Qin Miao lived in this house at the beginning, it looked simple from the outside, but the interior was meticulously repaired, the walls were snow-white, the floor was smooth, and there were rich and noble peonies painted on the wooden boards on the roof.

Qin Shaoxian brewed a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Qin Miao, Qin Miao took the teacup and drank it all in one go, it was really hot all the way.After drinking three cups of tea, I felt that the heat in my body had dropped a lot.So he put down his teacup and came to Qin Shaoxian's desk.Sure enough, there was a half-written piece of paper on the table.Qin Miao was not very interested in the unfinished policy discussion above, her eyes fell on the box of snacks placed in the corner of the desk.

The dim sum is light purple, made into a regular cube, fluffy and eye-catching, but the surface layer is a little dry, it should be here for a day or two.

"Why don't you eat such a good snack?" Qin Miao looked at her eldest brother and asked curiously.

Qin Shaoxian glanced at the box of pastries, then stepped forward to pick up the box of pastries, walked to the cabinet in the corner, took out a big bag from it, stuffed the pastry box into the bag, and said to Qin Miao : "Little sister, you came just in time, please send this burden back for brother."

Qin Miao took the burden: "Our family, why bother or not, tell me, who do you want to give this burden to?"

Qin Shaoxian replied: "Where is the flower in your pastry shop?"

"Ah?" Qin Miao was a little confused, when did eldest brother meet He Hua?What's with this baggage?

Out of curiosity, Qin Miao opened the bag and took a look, and saw that there were no important valuables inside, just some clothes, shoes, purses, and of course some pastries that had been dried.Qin Miao stared blankly at the things inside the baggage for a while and finally understood that these needlework and pastries were all given to her elder brother by He Hua, which meant that He Hua was chasing after her elder brother?

Qin Miao's eyes fell on Qin Shaoxian's face, seeing that her elder brother was in his early twenties, he had a very elegant demeanor, he was handsome, not to mention his temperament was outstanding, it's no wonder that Sister He Hua was moved .

Qin Shaoxian felt a little uncomfortable under Qin Miao's gaze, cleared his throat slightly, and reminded, "I won't talk about marriage before I get the honor. I have already made this matter clear to my parents."

After hearing this, Qin Miao was puzzled: "Brother, with your talent, getting married doesn't seem to delay your studies and studies, does it? Could it be that you already have someone else in your heart?"

Qin Shaoxian shook his head: "There was never any candidate."

Now Qin Miao couldn't stand it any longer: "Then why don't you consider Sister He Hua? She is not a bad parent, she is good at sewing and cooking, look at you, if you don't get married, you will become an old man, I really don't know what you are stubborn about."

Qin Shaoxian didn't expect his little sister to scold him like this, thought for a while, and scolded him back: "Shen Yaokang is about the same age as me, and he is also an old man."

Qin Miao was immediately amused, who said scholars are so sour?Her elder brother is quite good at joking.The reason why she defends He Hua is because she has known He Hua for a long time and has a good relationship, and she admires He Hua's needlework and cooking skills very much in her heart. To defend He Hua.Who knows, it made the eldest brother feel uncomfortable.

So he joked: "Brother, you are not old. You are in the prime of your life. When you pass the exam this year, there will naturally be many women for you to choose from. Maybe you can be the number one in high school and marry the emperor's daughter back to you." Let's go home!"

Qin Shaoxian was amused: "You girl, you can be talkative, you dare to say anything, and you don't know what you are doing every day in Qizhou. Didn't your parents invite you to learn the cooking skills of female celebrities?"

Qin Miao sat down on the teacher's chair behind the book table, and the old god replied, "I don't need any of those girls who are red chefs. When you're bored, just look through the storybook. Otherwise, how would you know the good story about the champion and the princess?"

"You are not reserved at all. I think only someone like Lord Shen can tolerate you."

When Qin Shaoxian mentioned Master Shen, the smile on Qin Miao's face disappeared immediately.She thought to herself, even Master Shen couldn't tolerate her now.Maybe she really will die alone.

Seeing that Qin Miao stopped talking suddenly, Qin Shaoxian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Miao responded indiscriminately, "The tea you poured just now is quite delicious, how about pouring me another cup?"

Qin Shaoxian smiled dotingly: "It's not unusual for you to wake up your brother." While talking, he lifted the teapot and poured Qin Miao another cup of tea.

Qin Miao took the teacup and took a sip, "Men, aren't they just for women to order around."

Alright, this joke is a bit too big, no matter how much Qin Shaoxian loves his sister, as a person who reads sage books, he can't accept this sentence, and said seriously: "I think you can't hang around outside anymore, tomorrow I will Write a letter to dad to pick you up and go home. You are 13 years old, not too young, you should take care of yourself."

Qin Miao put the teacup on the table and replied, "You don't need to write a letter. After June, I will go home by myself. It is very hot in June, please allow me to relax in Tang County."

Qin Shaoxian sighed, feeling that his little sister is really a strange person, sometimes her words and deeds are very incompatible with the world, but there is some reason for it, from childhood to adulthood, it seems that he has never understood her.
