Chapter 2 Sister-in-law
Bai Chun said very little along the way. Even when he was at home, Ye Qing couldn't say a few words to her a day. But today, after the two of them separated from Old Liu and Li Heng for a while, Bai Chun, who was dressed in plain clothes, could not help but feel confused and asked indifferently: "When you just told them not to go to Aunt San's tavern again, why did their expressions look very strange?"
Ye Qing chuckled and said, "Old Liu likes Aunt Third for a day or two. Before Li Heng and I were demoted to the Imperial Guard, the two of us were already in a row. Think about it, one lost our husband and the other lost our wife, both of us are only in forty years old... Uh, sorry, I thought I didn't say anything." Finally, Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun and glared at him with beautiful eyes, so he hurriedly stopped talking and said no further.
The atmosphere between the two became silent again. In addition to the footsteps of the two, there were noise and hawking sounds coming from outside the house from time to time.
After leaving for a while, Bai Chun seemed to have adjusted his mood, so he asked lightly again: "What's the matter with Li Heng?"
Bai Chun walked forward with his eyes down, his long eyelashes flashing, and her cheeks that were as white as jade without applying makeup, made Ye Qing stare at them from time to time.
However, this beautiful cheek rarely reveals other emotions. Basically, what Ye Qing can see every day is the indifferent look of his heart as if he is a dry well and his waves are no longer shocked.
"How to say, Lao Liu likes Aunt San for many years, but because he is criticized by the neighbors, he dare not tell Aunt San for fear that he will be stung by others and say that he is not ashamed. Li Heng likes the three daughters of Lao Liu, so in order to please Lao Liu, he often takes Lao Liu to Aunt San’s tavern to invite a drink. You also know that Aunt San has a son, who is about the same age as Lao Liu's three daughters. Lao Liu wants to betroth his three daughters to Aunt San’s son, so in order to please Lao Liu, he often takes Lao Liu to Aunt San’s tavern to invite a drink. You also know that Aunt San has a son who is about the same age as Lao Liu's three daughters. Lao Liu wants to betroth his three daughters to Aunt San’s son, so as to do so.
To please Aunt San and make Aunt San happy. Li Heng could not do this, so he invited Lao Liu to drink. In addition to flattering Lao Liu and letting Lao Liu see his sincerity, he was just to disturb Lao Liu's case to please Aunt San with his three daughters. In short, these two people have ulterior motives, and Aunt San and Lao Liu's three daughters were stuck in the middle and were in a dilemma." Ye Qing looked back from time to time, and determined whether Li Heng and Lao Liu's head had stopped the two golden men from following them.
Bai Chun listened to Ye Qing's nagging while walking, and then nodded silently from time to time, as if telling Ye Qing that he had been listening to him. He had never inquired about the things that Ye Qing said. Although Li Heng often came to his house to find his brother-in-law, he had never talked to Li Heng at all. He just nodded slightly when he met, even if he had greeted him.
Today, she took the initiative to talk to her brother-in-law for the first time, mainly because Ye Qing helped her solve the dilemma of being entangled by the two golden men. She always felt that she should say something along the way, thank you brother-in-law.
But she, who has always been cold-hearted, wanted to say thank you to her brother-in-law in person, but she couldn't speak. So after thinking about it, she expressed her doubts and treated it as thanking Ye Qing for her rescue just now.
With the rapid development of the economy in Lin'an City, the walls between the various yards have long been demolished, so with the demolition of the yard walls, people have become more and more convenient and fast from the streets.
Ye Qing and Bai Chun's home is in the innermost part of Tonghuifang. Compared with other ordinary houses, his home is already a wealthy family. There are three steps at the not-so-large door, and there are a small stone lion on the left and right of the door.
But in Ye Qing's opinion, this pair of small stone lions, which are about the size of a lion dog, looks so funny at the door. There are a few copper nails scattered on the black door, but the black paint that should have been bright and shiny on the facade has long lost its color and mottled, just like the pair of little lions, telling people that the door has begun to fall into the family.
When you open the door, you will find a clear water shadow wall. The blue bricks are simple and unpretentious, without any aesthetics or artistic form of the times. The two black doors, the sparse copper nails, and the two small stone lions squatting at the door are the only symbols of this family's identity and status.
Bypassing the screen wall, there is a small square courtyard that is not very large. Apart from two mulberry trees of some ages and a well, as well as the pile of firewood at the foot of the wall, there is nothing else, and the overall look is clean and tidy.
At the end of the small courtyard is a two-story building nearly one foot higher than the foundation of the yard. It is where Bai Chun lives. The three wing rooms next to it are Ye Qing's room and the kitchen of this home.
Behind this house, which is not too big and has a pretty well-organized layout, is a river that runs across the north and south in Lin'an City: Yanqiao River.
During the day, the river surface was still extremely busy and lively. The endless stream of boats were passing by the Yanqiao River, either from behind his small building to the north to the direction of Genshan Gate, then into the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or continue to go south to the Donghua Gate of the Palace, and then pass through the entire palace and flow into the Qiantang River.
And the intersection is another river in Lin'an City: the Xiaoshi River, which runs through another one: Qinghu River. The three rivers form the city waterways with well-connected Lin'an City.
Ye Qing's home is facing rivers in the east and north, so Tonghuifang is also named after it. Especially their homes are facing rivers in the entire house, so they seem to be more pure than other places, but outside is much more lively than other people's homes, after all, they are next to two busy and lively rivers.
Since Ye Qing came to this world, Bai Chun had only climbed to the second floor once before marrying into the Ye family. So in the next two months, even in the first floor, he was able to enter when he was worshiping his cheap brother Ye Hong, and the second floor completely became Bai Chun's private space alone.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, Bai Chun, dressed in plain clothes, took off the bupa wrapped around his head. In an instant, a head of black and shiny hair sprinkled down like a waterfall, reaching Bai Chun's buttocks. Under the sunlight, the still shaking hair and his tall back exuded a mysterious and unique charm, as if they were not as beautiful as a worldly beauty.
Ye Qing didn't understand it, and he was not even married to Ye Hong Ming's media. He was just a marriage contract. Why did Bai Chun still stubbornly marry into the Ye family after Ye Hong's death, and then he widowed to wear a plain clothes for Ye Hong and stayed a widow.
"You have to continue working today. Now I'm home. Go over quickly and don't let others say you're not." Bai Chun stood on the steps on the first floor, and the sun shone on the snow-white plain clothes, forming a faint mist. The bright black hair behind her hair was shaking with the breeze, making people wonder whether she would fly away like the nine heavenly mysterious woman in the next second.
Looking at Bai Chun standing on the steps with his fairy sleeves floating, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the sentence in the Book of Songs "Weifeng Shuoren" that he came into contact with: "Hands are like tender croakers, skin is like cream, neck is like croakers, teeth are like gourds, heads are like moth eyebrows, eyebrows, smiles are beautiful, and beautiful eyes are looking forward to it."
After his expression was dazed for a moment, Ye Qing tightened the Yanling Knife in his hand, then calmed down, nodded and reminded: "Okay, then I'll go to work as a servant first, be careful at home. Do you need anything to bring back?"
"No need, go quickly." Bai Chun smiled slightly, but always felt that Ye Qing's last words seemed to refer to his own indescribable hidden secrets.
Pretending to be calm, she looked up at the railings on the second floor. On weekdays, she always stood in the yard or at the door of the wing room, while she stood at the railings on the second floor, and told him a few simple conversations.
Like today, both of them stood in the yard and talked. In the not-so-short two months, it seems that there have been few times. Even when they eat on weekdays, they still ate their own food silently. The old saying "Don't Eat" has been fully utilized by both of them.
"Then I'll leave first." Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun and smiled, then turned around and walked out.
Seeing Ye Qing's tall and agile figure leaving, Bai Chun always felt that Ye Qing's smile just now seemed so strange, just like the last sentence just now, as if he had seen through his privacy.
This made her look inexplicably blush, and her heartstrings tightened, as if someone had noticed her daughter's worries, and her heart was filled with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
After walking out of the house, he turned around and brought the two wooden doors, rubbed one foot on the head of the little stone lion at the door twice, and then looked left and right, and after confirming that the two golden men did not shake off Li Heng and Lao Liu, he then quickly walked towards the Genshan Gate.
The yard where Ye Qing and his friends are located is located in Dongqing Gate, which is adjacent to Genshan Gate. So in a short while, Ye Qing found Li Heng and Old Liu, who were standing at the door of Li Qier's mutton shop, among the crowd that had begun to dissipate.
"How is it? Did Wu Gui look for me?" Ye Qing asked after turning around.
"I haven't come, I guess I've been cursing to see who is going to be." Li Heng lazily leaned on the Yanling Knife, and said, looking at the setting sun that was about to set west and yawned.
"You can't say you're going to other troops. You two haven't been to the Imperial Army for a long time, so be careful in everything. But then again, the Wu team official is actually a good person. You will know after you have been with him for a long time. Now he mainly doesn't like you, just running to the Imperial Army for a young age." Old Liu said after looking at his immediate boss Ye Dutou.
