Strange love across time and space

Although it was difficult to walk along the way, Su Qing saw many fruit trees, all of which were wild, including wild pears, wild jujube trees, and peach trees. The master and servant picked fruits to eat while walking up, which was quite leisurely. Su Qing felt that Although this fruit was not as delicious as the ones cultivated by later generations of fruit farmers, it still had a different taste. She was eating a wild pear with one hand and twirling the weeds with the other hand. Suddenly she felt a slip under her feet, so she subconsciously threw the pear away. He grabbed the weeds with both hands to stabilize his body, but a stinging pain from his left hand made Su Qing cry out. Qingzhu, who was walking in front, trotted back quickly and saw that Su Qing's left hand was scratched. There was a cut, and blood was constantly flowing out, dripping to the ground and seeping into the soil. When Su Qing took a look, it turned out that there were thorns on the grass leaves she subconsciously grabbed just now, which was why she was injured. She couldn't help but "hiss" in her mouth. Qingzhu hurriedly untied the bamboo tube filled with water from his waist and said, "Don't be afraid, miss! I'm bringing trauma ointment with you!" As he said this, he poured water on Su Qing's hands and asked her to wash the dirt off her hands first. While washing her hands, Su Qing said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just in a bit of pain." Then she praised Qingzhu, "Qingzhu is really attentive, and he even brings medicine with him when he goes out. Did he expect that I would be injured?" Qingzhu said sheepishly, "Actually, Every time I go out, the slave will bring the wound ointment with me just in case." After washing his hands, Qingzhu took the wound ointment out of his arms and carefully applied it to the wound. After a while, the bleeding stopped, and Qingzhu applied it again. She tore off a piece of her own clothes and bandaged them for Su Qing. Su Qing smiled and said, "I'll give you a new set of clothes later!" Qingzhu also smiled and said, "Miss, don't you want to compensate?" Then he worried, "I wonder if the lady will punish the slave when I meet her." Because she thought about the last time the lady got caught in the rain and had a fever, the lady punished her by kneeling for two hours and fined her a month's salary. If it weren't for the fact that no one was taking care of Su Qing, I would have been betrayed by Madam. When Su Qing saw her like this, she asked, "Did my mother often punish the servants in the past?" Qingzhu shook his head and said, "Madam, you are very nice. Sometimes when servants do something wrong, I just give them a few words of reprimand. It is only about the safety of the young lady. The madam will punish the slave. But the slave can understand the madam. After all, she loves her daughter." Su Qing smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will tell you later and you won't be punished." Qingzhu looked gratefully. Looking at Su Qing, she said, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of the young lady." Su Qing shook her head, "I can't blame you, I dragged you here. Okay, let's stop saying these kind words here and go down the mountain. "The master and the servant went down the mountain. After they left, the soil moved where Su Qing's blood had dripped. . .

Su Qing took Qingzhu to the foot of the mountain and met Jiang. Sure enough, Jiang saw the cloth wrapped around Su Qing's hand at a glance, and said distressedly, "Why does something happen every time I come to Xiangguo Temple!" Then she waited for Qingzhu, scared. Qingzhu flinched, and Su Qing quickly told Jiang the whole story. Jiang then said sternly to Qingzhu, "This is the last time. If there is another time, I will sell you!" Qingzhu quickly knelt down. I kowtow to Mr. Jiang and promise to take good care of the young lady when I go out in the future. The four of them then took the carriage home.

During dinner, Su Qixuan and Su Rui expressed their condolences and greetings to Su Qing's injury. Su Qing repeatedly emphasized that it was just a minor injury and was not a problem. However, Su Qixuan was still worried and told Qingzhu to change Su Qing's dressing on time every day and not to let it get wet. Although she was helpless, Su Qing enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by the whole family, which made her feel very warm.

During the meal, Mrs. Jiang told everyone about meeting Mrs. Cui at Xiangguo Temple today. Mrs. Jiang said, "Mrs. Cui has taken a liking to our Qingqing. She said that Qingqing looks different from before. She is beautiful again and elegant." She has a lovable personality! She wants Qingqing and her son to meet each other. If both of them are interested, they can become in-laws." Su Qing had actually expected it from the way Mrs. Cui looked at her today. Who is she? She has lived two lives! So she asked Jiang, "What did the mother say?" When Jiang saw that Su Qing had no clear objection, she smiled and said, "I didn't agree directly, so I just said I would discuss it with my family when I came back."

Su Qixuan stopped picking up the food, held the rice bowl, squinted his eyes and muttered to himself, "What is the name of the son of the Cui family? He seems to be called Cui Shijian."

"My name is Cui Zijian." Su Rui said

"Oh, that's right! Cui Zijian, you seem to be in your twenties this year, right?" Su Qixuan asked Jiang.

"Twenty-one"! Jiang quickly said, "He failed the imperial examination, so Mr. Cui used his connections to get him to his yamen to do some errands. Although he didn't have an official position, he was decent."

"What does Master Cui do?" Su Qing asked.

"Master Cui is the deputy envoy of the general affairs envoy. He is a fourth-rank official like your father." Jiang said.

"Cui Zijian is not good enough, he is not worthy of Qingqing!" Su Rui said while eating.

"Brother, why do you say he is not good enough for me?" Before Jiang and Su Qixuan could ask, Su Qing asked herself

Su Rui was stunned for a moment, and saw that her sister didn't have any shy expression at all. It was like she was talking about other people's family affairs, but she still said, "Cui Zijian is too cowardly. Such an adult will listen to his mother for everything." , I have a colleague who was his classmate before and has been to Cui Mansion several times. I heard him say that Cui Zijian never talks about his mother. Every time, he said: My mother says whatever. He even listens to who he makes friends with. Damn it!”

When Su Qing heard this, she felt that this line was so familiar. She remembered that there was this line in a skit performed by teacher Song Dandan on the Spring Festival Gala: My mother said it. . . Su Qing laughed loudly when she thought of this, and almost spit out the food in her mouth. Seeing everyone looking at her inexplicably, she quickly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, took another sip of tea and said, "So Cui Zijian is a mama's boy." . No, he’s a baby boy!”

Su Rui asked doubtfully, "Sister, what does Niang Baonan mean?"

Seeing that Su Qixuan and Jiang Shi were also looking at her curiously, Su Qing said, "What Niang Baonan said is that some men are his mother's good darlings and must listen to his mother in everything. Not only did his mother do something wrong, but If he says something wrong, he won't refute it. Instead, he feels that his mother is right. Even if his mother makes things difficult for his daughter-in-law after such a man marries his wife, he will sacrifice her daughter-in-law to fulfill his so-called filial piety! With such a man, Living together will be extremely aggrieved, and if you resist, you will immediately be labeled as unfilial!"

The three of them suddenly understood after hearing Su Qing's explanation. Jiang quickly said, "We cannot marry this kind of man! I will write back to Mrs. Cui another day! Qingqing, don't worry, my mother will definitely find a good marriage for you. I will never let you fall into the wolf's den!"

Just when the meal was almost finished, Su Qing felt it was necessary to tell her family about her intention to not get married, so she took a sip of tea, cleared her throat and said, "Father, mother, brother, I have something to tell you. That is... I don’t plan to get married and have children in this life!”

The three of them looked at her in surprise. Jiang quickly asked, "Qingqing, why is this?"
