Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

In fact, it was not a big deal, but on the way to Beijing, Xia Li did encounter someone who was corrupt and committed injustice. Not only did he embezzle the relief money and food and feed the people with plain porridge, but he also forcibly abducted women and forced them to be concubines.

One of the girls refused, so the other party beat her fiancé to death and broke her father's legs.

The official who originally brought them here also wanted to take care of it, but unfortunately the other party had a powerful background. It was said that he was the nephew of a prince's concubine. Given their status, they had no way of doing anything.

Besides, they were in a hurry to go to Beijing, so they put this matter behind them. If Xia Yimei and the others had not come today, Xia Li would probably have forgotten about it.

After hearing what Xia Li said, their expressions suddenly became much more serious. Xia Yimei and Xu Zhouzhong looked at each other, and both of them had some thoughts at the same time.

"Uncle, where did you see it? When?" Xu Zhou asked seriously.

Xia Li was stunned for a moment when he saw their expressions, then he realized what they were going to do. Just as he was about to open his mouth to dissuade them, he was stopped by Xia Yimei.

Listening to the other party's ambitious words and looking at the fire in their eyes, Xia Li suddenly relaxed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"We met them on the third day after we left the village and headed north. I'm not sure about the exact place, so you can ask other people. I remember that place seemed to be called..." Xia Li described it in great detail. When he came across a place he couldn't remember clearly, he even called on his companions to help him recall.

As they described the situation, Xia Yimei and the others had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and soon had a general idea of ​​what had happened.

"Are you going?" Xia Yimei looked at Xu Zhou and asked.

"Go." Xuzhou nodded, and the two smiled at each other. They quickly asked someone to tell their family about the situation, and got on the newly bought carriage and drove north together.

When everyone saw them again, they had already brought the evidence that the county magistrate's son was corrupt and forced a woman to become his concubine to the Dali Temple.

Word by word, case by case, he brought the family of the prince's concubine down and sought justice for the people of the entire county.

Xuzhou Zhong and his men became famous because of this battle. Not only did they catch the emperor's eye, they were also rewarded by the emperor and awarded an imperial plaque.

Seeing the two becoming famous, Prince Xu's Mansion finally opened its doors and accepted the third young master and his wife who had been living outside. As a result, Xia Yimei and the other young master also entered the circle of aristocrats in Beijing.

But that's all for the future. They had just set out not long ago and had no idea that their story was about to enter a new chapter.

Of course Mu Qing didn't know either. As long as Qin Yu was not involved, he didn't care about it.

After putting the caught fish into the fish basket, Mu Qing walked into the boat carrying the fish basket in his hand.

"Zi Jin, the fish in this lake are so small! Each one is not even as big as my palm!" Mu Qing said as he showed the fish basket in his hand to Qin Yu.

"The bigger fish in this lake have long been caught in nets, and the remaining ones are just small fry. If you want to catch big fish, why don't I take you somewhere else?" Qin Yu poured a glass of water for Mu Qing, took the fish basket, took a look at it, and said.

"No, it's getting late today. If I continue fishing, I don't know when I can eat!" Mu Qing took a sip of water and shook his head.

"Are you hungry? There doesn't seem to be anything to eat on this boat. Shall we go to the shore?" Qin Yu said, looking at the bare wooden boat and the various restaurants on both sides of the river.

"We finally got out to row a boat, let's stay a little longer!" Mu Qing shook his head, "Besides, there are things on the boat! There's a stove over there, fish over here, and wild ducks appear on the lake from time to time.

Ducks run fast, so they might be hard to catch, but there are plenty of fish here, so why not grill some fish!"

"That's fine, but the food here is simple and I'm afraid it won't taste that good." Qin Yu had no objection to this. As he spoke, he moved the stove in the boat to the bow.

"It's okay, eating is a pleasure. Besides, I like whatever you cook." Mu Qing said as he packed up the things beside him.

By the time Qin Yu lit the stove, Mu Qing had already prepared the fish and placed it neatly on the table. There were also some wild fruits next to it, and no one knew where he got them from.

Mu Qing ate the wild fruits and fed Qin Yu one or two from time to time.

"So sour! Where did you get it? Are there any wild fruits around here in the middle of winter?" Qin Yu frowned sourly and looked at the wild fruits on the table with some confusion.

"Yes, but there are not many. This tree is located in a place sheltered from the wind, so there are some wild fruits on it. But they still look too sour. In that case, why not roast them and eat them later!" After eating two, Mu Qing was also a little bit sour. He suggested while looking at the wild fruits that he had not finished eating in his hand.

"Okay, if you can't finish it, you can season the fish." Qin Yu nodded and started to grill it skillfully.

I don't know when snow started falling from the sky. The snowflakes landed on the lake and soon disappeared.

Mu Qing looked at the snow floating in the sky and couldn't help but reach out to catch it.

"Zijin, it's snowing."

After handing a skewer of grilled fish to Mu Qing, Qin Yu also put down what he was holding and began to look.

"Well, are you cold?" Qin Yu asked while holding Mu Qing's hand.

"It's not cold, your hands are so warm." Mu Qing said with a smile while eating grilled fish, and lifted Qin Yu's hand.

"Then let's stay a little longer." A smile flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and he held Mu Qing's hand a little tighter.

At this time, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and the entire lake was dyed with a layer of white.

Mu Qing's heart moved. He turned to look at Qin Yu and said softly, "Zijin, do you like snow?"

"I think I like it." At least he likes it at this moment.

Qin Yu's heart moved, and for some reason a scene suddenly appeared in front of him, of a fox and a sapling cuddling together in the snow.

"I like it too." Mu Qing turned his head and looked at the sky with a smile on his face.

The snow in the lake was getting heavier and heavier, so Mu Qing and his companion returned to the shore by boat.

Looking at the people on the street who were rushing to go home, Mu Qing approached Qin Yu and held his hand. Qin Yu moved his palm slightly, and their hands turned over, with their fingers intertwined.

"Have you bought your New Year gifts?" Mu Qing suddenly asked.

"What?" Qin Yu was a little confused. He had no elders in his family, and the only people he knew well were Mu Qing, apart from the brothers of the Jinyiwei.

Why bother buying New Year gifts?

Mu Qing will be going home to worship his ancestors again in a while. Qin Yu doesn't even need to prepare food for Mu Qing during the New Year, so why would he need to prepare anything else?

"Give them the New Year gifts for my uncles." Mu Qing said, "I have to take them back to have a look. After we meet my uncle and his family, we will go and burn some incense for my parents and Uncle Qin and his family."

"Aren't you afraid of scaring them?" Qin Yu's voice was full of smiles. He didn't expect that Mu Qing would give him such a surprise before the end.

"An ugly bride has to meet her mother-in-law, let alone a handsome man like you." Mu Qing put his arm around Qin Yu's waist and teased him.

Facing Qin Yu's gaze, Mu Qing stopped joking and spoke seriously.

"My family is not short of children and grandchildren. Even without me, we still have my cousins. I really want to take you back to worship our ancestors. My eldest and second uncles are very open-minded and will understand.

Zijin, the problem is not with me but with you. I will never let you be with another woman."

If Zijin was really together with someone, Mu Qing would probably be the one who could least accept it, but also the one who could most calmly accept it.

If Zijin falls in love with someone else, then that person will just be someone else, not his little fox.

"I know." Because me too.

Qin Yu suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with deep possessiveness. It didn't matter whether Qingqing took him back to the ancestral home or not, but he had to accept that Qingqing was his.

If Qingqing changes her mind, he won't be as easy to talk to as he is now. The Qin family is big, so it should be no problem to support one person.

Mu Qing looked at Qin Yu and suddenly smiled. He was still the same as before. He still liked Zi Jin like this.

"I understand. Then you have to prepare well, otherwise you will be kicked out by my uncle." Mu Qing raised his head and said teasingly to Qin Yu.

After saying that, he took a few quick steps and ran towards the Yuanxiao stall not far away.

"Yeah." Qin Yu responded softly, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by something.

Looking at the round and hot Yuanxiao, Mu Qing suddenly felt a little greedy. He just asked the stall owner to cook two bowls for him, but when he turned around, he found that Qin Yu was gone.

Just as Mu Qing was looking around, he saw Qin Yu walking towards him, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

"Zijin, I'm here!" Mu Qing waved quickly, "Where did you go just now?"

"I just bought some things. Are you hungry?" Qin Yu pulled Mu Qing's hand and asked casually.

"A little bit. I'm just a little greedy." Mu Qing nodded, his eyes all attracted by the Yuanxiao rolling in the pot.

Qin Yu didn't say anything else, but continued to fiddle with Mu Qing's fingers, looking very focused.

When Mu Qing came to his senses, he found that his hands were entangled, tightly tied to Qin Yu's hands by a red thread, and it was impossible to untie them.

Mu Qing felt a little amused for a moment. He looked at his hands and then at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu didn't say anything, but just stood there obediently and brought two bowls of Yuanxiao to the table one by one.

"The Yuanxiao is ready, let's eat it!" Qin Yu handed over a spoon.

Mu Qing took the spoon with a smile and scooped himself a Yuanxiao. It was sweet and sticky, and it was very comfortable to eat while it was hot.

Seeing that Qin Yu couldn't eat the Yuanxiao for a long time because his hands were entangled and his other hand couldn't hold the soup spoon properly, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, picked up the spoon and scooped a Yuanxiao to feed Qin Yu.

After seeing him eat it, they all started eating one each.

The two of them kept their hands entangled until they arrived at the Mu Mansion.

Standing at the door, Mu Qing looked at Qin Yu quietly, with smiles in his eyes.

"Master Qin, do you want to go back to the mansion with me?"

"Is it okay?" Qin Yu's voice contained a hint of anticipation.

"Of course not...you can't." Mu Qing said with a deliberate gasp. After teasing Qin Yu, Mu Qing pulled him into the gate of the Mu Mansion.

The relationship between the two of them was not hidden, so the people in the mansion were not too surprised to see them holding hands. Everything was prepared as usual, except that an extra set of bowls and chopsticks were prepared.

After finishing their meal and reading, it was already late. Seeing that Qin Yu had no intention of untying the red rope, Mu Qing did not bother him any more and instead pulled him to lie down on the bed.

I originally thought that I would have some insomnia, but I slept surprisingly well until dawn. When Mu Qing woke up, the red rope on his hand had disappeared.

Mu Qing looked at the broken red rope and thought that he had accidentally broken it because he had not slept well. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

"Awake." Qin Yu walked in from outside with a spear in his hand.

"Well, why don't you buy another rope?" Mu Qing said, looking at the broken rope in his hand.

"No, I opened it." Qin Yu smiled, "I got up to practice shooting, so I didn't wake you up.

Mu Qing nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not what he thought, otherwise he might cry again.

……

Qin Yu and Mu Qing lived a very comfortable life in this life. Although the two uncles of the Mu family did not agree with this marriage at the beginning, they finally gave in in the face of Mu Qing's persistence and Qin Yu's sincerity.

He just insisted that Mu Qing's lineage must not be cut off, so he adopted a motherless child from the clan to them.

The adopted baby was very small, just one month old, and his body was very delicate and soft. He was either crying or sleeping all day long. He was like a hot potato that could not be touched or touched.

Fortunately, Mu Qing is good at taking care of children, and Qin Yu doesn't dislike children, so the two of them worked together and avoided a mess.

Under their gaze, the crying baby gradually grew up and became a handsome young man.

Qin Yu also gradually grew old, and retired from the position of commander of the Jinyiwei. He became a teacher who trained the Jinyiwei and had a lot more free time.

Every day, he either drank tea or accompanied Mu Qing to go shopping and do some accounting. Although the two of them seldom went out, after several decades, they still slowly walked through the entire Great Zhou.

The holy snow-capped mountains, the lonely desert at sunset, the beautiful mountains and waters of the south of the Yangtze River, the roaring river...all are covered with their footprints.

Sitting in the courtyard of the Mu family's ancestral home, Mu Qing held a peach wood plaque in his hand and kept carving.

"Qingqing, be careful with your eyes." Qin Yu lay on the chair, looking at Mu Qing's fingers with concern, fearing that he would accidentally hurt himself.

I don't know why Qingqing got interested in making peach wood plaques these days. The carving knife is so sharp that it really makes me worried.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Mu Qing blew on the sign and then handed it to Qin Yu.

Looking at the two names listed side by side on the wooden plate, Qin Yu felt a slight soreness in his nose and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Do you like it? I saw you looking at this the past two days." Mu Qing asked with some anticipation.

"I like it." Qin Yu nodded, his eyes indescribably gentle. He didn't want the peach wood card at all, he just remembered their first meeting.

"As long as you like it. I'm old and my eyesight is bad, so this is the only thing I can do." Mu Qing stretched and sat down next to Qin Yu. At first, the two of them were chatting with each other, but gradually Mu Qing fell silent.

Qin Yu clenched Mu Qing's wrinkled palm, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, then Qin Yu exhaled, and just like that, he lost his breath while holding Mu Qing's hand.
