reborn widow

Chapter 7

Qin Yanshan exchanged greetings with Li Song, and Gui Qingqing heard clearly from the side. It turned out that this man was the son of the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture. He traveled to Xichuan a year ago and was almost killed when he encountered robbers on the road. Fortunately, Li Song ran into him and rescued him. in distress...

Qin Yanshan said: "Brother Li, at that time you said you would go to Qingzhou Mansion to find me when you went back to your hometown? Why did you break your promise? Let's go, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the restaurant for a few drinks first! Chat while eating." He said Come on, pull Li Song to leave.

Although Li Song saved Qin Yanshan, he didn't expect anything in return from him. One of them is the son of the Pianpian family, and the other is a little person living at the bottom. They are people from two worlds. Li Song smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Qin Invitation, let's drink again when I have a chance, I have something to do in the county government today."

Qin Yanshan looked at the people around Li Song. When he saw Gui Qingqing, he was secretly surprised. He couldn't help but look twice, and then asked, "What is Brother Li going to do?"

Li Song explained the matter, and Qin Yanshan said with a smile: "I'll ask County Magistrate Ma to help me with this matter!"

How could County Magistrate Ma refuse such a trivial matter, he quickly ordered his master to take them to do it, and with the master's help, of course it would be unimpeded to do anything.

Qin Yanshan pulled County Magistrate Ma aside, "Master Ma, this Li Song is the savior I entrusted you to find just now. If he is inconvenient in the future, please ask Mr. Ma to help him. Qin is very grateful." do."

"Definitely, definitely." Magistrate Ma bowed his hands, this is the son of his immediate superior, how dare he refuse?

With just a cup of tea, Li Song also finished the two things that Li Song wanted to do. He and Fatty Yuan went their separate ways at the gate of the county government office. Dyeing.

Qin Yanshan insisted on taking Li Song to the restaurant to talk. This restaurant was opposite the county government office. Because Qin Yanshan wanted Ma County magistrate to take care of Li Song, he specially invited Ma County magistrate along with him, ordering a table full of food and drink. The three big men exchanged cups, and Gui Qingqing sat next to Li Song, not only did not feel nervous and cramped, but she was calm and calm that did not match her age. Qin Yanshan was secretly amazed, how could a countryman have such a daughter?He wanted to ask a few words, but also felt that the other party was a female family member, so he didn't dare to make mistakes when they met for the first time.

Li Song always felt that Qin Yanshan's eyes were sweeping over his daughter-in-law. He was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Satisfied with wine and food, Li Song said: "Mr. Qin, you can do something urgent. It would be bad if you delay your trip because of me. I live in Lijia Village outside the city. There is always a chance to get together in the future. Don't be in a hurry. In a while..."

Because the next day is Qin Yanshan's aunt's 50th birthday, he was going to Donglin Mansion to celebrate her aunt's birthday. So he rushed to find Ma County magistrate to help find Li Song on the spur of the moment. How could he have imagined that he actually met him?At this moment, he only has a few followers around him, and the servants and several carts of gifts he brought are still waiting for him outside the city!

Seeing his hesitation, Li Song knew that he had guessed right, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Qin, go as busy as possible, if you have a chance to be my host next time, I'll treat you to a drink."

Qin Yanshan has a bright personality. Although he is a scholar, he is not pedantic. He raised his glass and smiled when he heard the words: "That's fine, let's part for now after drinking this cup." He didn't say anything about himself because he was afraid of Li Song's expense. My aunt was going to celebrate her birthday, so she drank all the wine, Qin Yanshan said: "Brother Li, you are wrong, why do you still call me Young Master Qin? It should be Brother Qin! Next time you drink, I will punish you three times first."

Li Song readily agreed, and the three of them parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant. Li Song took Gui Qingqing to the escort agency again, picked up two large boxes, and then hired a car on the street to go home.

Gui Qingqing looked at him and said with a half-smile: "Da Lang, did you forget something?"

"You mean to buy farm cattle? Let's go next time. Today is too late."

What time is too late, it is clearly after noon!Li Song didn't wait for Gui Qingqing to say anything else, and said: "Why don't you go back to your mother's house today, just let the carriage take you by the way."

Li Song's mind was nothing more than to implement their marriage as soon as possible, and get the approval of the husband's family, so that the name would be justified. Gui Qingqing also happened to have some things that she really wanted to ask her father, so she nodded and agreed.

Li Song asked: "Should I buy some pastries or something? Just buy a piece of fabric for my father-in-law, isn't it a little less?"

When Gui Qingqing thought about her father, she was actually chilling, but after all, she couldn't part with her blood. She looked at a pastry shop by the roadside, shook her head and said, "Father likes to drink." buy it!
Li Song smiled and said: "Well, there is a wine shop not far ahead." He got out of the car and bought two jars of good wine, one for his father and one for his father-in-law. , Go straight to Guijiatun.

Gui Qingqing got off the car at the door of her mother's house, and Li Song said, "I'll pick you up after I bring the things home."

"No, I'll just go back by myself."

Li Song didn't say anything, Gui Qingqing watched the carriage go away, and then carried her things into the yard of her mother's house, a group of chickens in the yard were clucking, chicken droppings were everywhere, and the window paper was damaged in several places , the pieces of paper rattled in the spring breeze.

Gui Qingqing yelled twice, and Gui Liang came out to welcome her, "Qingqing, why are you back?" He looked at Gui Qingqing up and down, and found that she was wearing new clothes, with wine and vegetables in her hand, so he couldn't help asking: " You got rich?"

"I remarried." Gui Qingqing smelled alcohol on Gui Liang's body, and hurriedly asked, "Father, where did you go drinking?"

"This isn't the marriage of your uncle's daughter. Dad drank two glasses... Did you remarry? Who did you marry?"

"Li Tong's elder brother Li Song."

"Oh, it's still the Li family. That's good. When did he come back?" Gui Liang took the wine jar, opened the lid and smelled it. "Good wine, good wine!" As soon as he turned around, he forgot about his daughter's remarriage , took the wine bowl and poured wine, and sat at the kang table to eat and drink by himself.

Gui Qingqing didn't see her stepmother and younger brother, so she asked, "Father, are you alone at home?"

"Well, your mother and younger brother haven't come back yet." Gui Liang was already slightly drunk, and after drinking two more bowls of wine, his tongue became a little big. Gui Qingqing felt that the opportunity was rare, and hurriedly asked: "Father, I remember that my mother had a Do you still have the pair of black pearl earrings?"

Gui Liang squinted at Gui Qingqing, "Why are you asking this?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "Father, you didn't give it to Erniang, why not give it to your daughter, I want to keep it as a thought." She took out a dime of broken silver from her purse and handed it over, "Father, that black pearl earring is not for you." What is it worth, give it to me, and I will keep this silver for you to drink!"

Gui Liang snatched the silver from Gui Qingqing's hand, pointed to the shrine on the wall, and said with a big tongue: "It's buried in the incense ash, go and get it yourself." Gui Liang didn't know what the black pearl earrings were good for. It's just a worthless thing, the reason why I keep it is just to see things and think about others, but now, nothing can resist the temptation of wine to him.

Gui Qingqing clasped her hands together and worshiped in front of the altar. Then she pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head, picked it out of the incense ash a few times, and finally picked out a pair of black pearl earrings. She still remembered that the pair of earrings fell on the In the hands of the stepmother, she sold it for 50 taels of silver, but the younger brother stole the money and lost the bet.

Gui Qingqing washed the earrings and wooden hairpins in water and put them away. Seeing that Gui Liang was still drinking, she hurriedly said, "Father, you should drink less! Drinking too much is not good for your health."

Gui Liang ignored her at all, Gui Qingqing knew that since her mother died, her father had fallen in love with the thing in the cup, and now she was addicted to alcohol, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

Today, Gui Qingqing originally wanted Gui Liang to get drunk, so that she could learn something from him that she had always wanted to know, wouldn't it be just right now?Gui Qingqing then asked: "Father, how did you meet mother? Where is mother's family?"

Gui Liang smiled drunkenly and said, "Your mother refuses to tell, how does father know? Hehe, she refuses to tell father..." As he spoke, he burst into tears, played drunk for a while, and then fell on his head After a while, the snoring started loudly, and he fell asleep.

Gui Qingqing didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and she was a little regretful, but she lied to Fatty Yuan, so she shouldn't show any flaws. It seems that my mother has never revealed her background to anyone, so what she says is what she says!No one will doubt it.

Gui Qingqing was just wondering, what happened to her mother?Why doesn't she even say where her mother's family is?
Finding a thin quilt, Gui Qingqing covered her father, and then she left the gate of her mother's house, just as her stepmother Wu came back with her younger brother Xiaoman, Wu was cursing as she walked, Gui Qingqing asked: "What's the matter?" this is?"

Wu said angrily: "It's not big or small, I'm your mother, why don't you even have a title..."

Gui Qingqing said: "You are just the second mother, my mother is dead." At the beginning, Gui Qingqing's mother was dying of illness, but Wu was pregnant with Gui Liang's child, so she entered the house as an aunt, although she was helped later. But always short.

"You—" Wu's face turned red with anger, and he opened his mouth to scold: "You loser, why did you come back to your mother's house after killing a man? Do you want to kill your mother's family? Let me tell you, don't think about it." Then borrow money from your father! There is no money at home to lend you!"

Gui Qingqing saw the neighbors on the left and right looking here, she was afraid of being ridiculed, so she didn't quarrel with Mrs Wu, she just smiled and said: "Er Niang, do you think I'm here to borrow money? I've remarried. "

Wu looked at Gui Qingqing's clothes, which were very good in the countryside, and she didn't look like she had no money, so she hesitated and didn't dare to scold again, thinking that if Gui Qingqing married well, maybe I can still help my mother's family, I can't offend people to death now.

Gui Qingqing didn't bother to talk to her, and looked at her younger brother Xiaoman. He is already eight years old this year. If he continues to waste time like his previous life, maybe he will still be idle and sneaky in the future. His father is the only son, and the whole family can count on him. What about him!

Gui Qingqing secretly sighed in her heart, although she has no feelings for this natal family, if her younger brother doesn't learn well, she will lose face in the future.Just because she has a drunken mother and such a younger brother, the Song family also look down on her, but if she really doesn't care, others will say that she doesn't care about family affection!If her natal family had been a little bit better back then, Song Ziqiao would not have beaten her to death like that...

If you don't want to repeat the same mistakes, you have to work hard on Xiaoman. Gui Qingqing asked: "Xiaoman, do you want to study? It would be good if you can read a few words. It will be easier to find something to do in the future."

Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "Second sister, I want to study." He said, looking at Mrs. Wu.

Wu said angrily: "Study! You know you need to study, how can you study without money? Your father knows how to piss the cat all day long! Digging in the soil and earning so much money is not enough for him to drink!"

Gui Qingqing said: "Just now I gave Dad a dime, so there are two taels, Erniang might as well give it to Xiaoman for repairing! If my younger brother is successful in the future, Erniang will also be able to seal her life." Anyway, Gui Qingqing said. Liang took the money and just bought wine and drank it, so he might as well give it to his younger brother to study.

When Mrs. Wu heard that there were two taels of silver, she didn't care about talking to Gui Qingqing, and hurried into the house to find the silver.

Xiao Man said: "Thank you, Second Sister, for remembering me. I will definitely study and read well, and I will live up to Second Sister."

Gui Qingqing suddenly felt that her younger brother was still very sensible when he was a child, so she stroked his head and smiled. She doesn't ask Xiao Man to honor her ancestors, as long as he can be a reasonable and good person in the future. It's really good, and the second sister will help you get Shuxiu in the future."

"Really?" Xiaoman's face was full of joy.

Gui Qingqing nodded, "I keep my word, but if you can't read well, I won't care about you in the future. I will often ask my husband."

"I must read it carefully..."

Gui Qingqing raised her foot to leave, but Xiaoman suddenly said: "Second sister, you are so beautiful today!" Gui Qingqing touched her face, and said angrily, "I know sweet talk at a young age!"

"No." Xiaoman hurriedly explained: "Second sister, when my mother and I came back just now, we saw a person sneaking up on our door and looking in. Did he peek at you? He was caught by my mother. The scolding is gone, you should pay attention on the way back..."
