talk about wine

In the afternoon, Zhou Qingwu and Meng Chuxi hurriedly cleaned up the other room, made the bed, and looked at Zhou Nian'an with a little apology. Meng Chuxi explained: "There are no outsiders in the house for a long time, so there are not enough bedding. I will wrong you tonight. I will wrong you tomorrow." Get someone to buy a new one."

Zhou Nian'an shook his head quickly, looking happy and satisfied: "It's already very good, I didn't even have a bed to sleep in before."

Meng Chuxi was very happy to see her showing such cheerfulness, but felt sad at the same time. He patted her head, but Zhou Nian'an looked outside and asked doubtfully, "Sister Chuxi sleeps with sister Qingwu at night?"

Meng Chuxi was taken aback, unable to react for a while, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Well, Sister Qingwu is afraid of sleeping alone in the dark, so we have been sleeping together."

Zhou Nian'an nodded without thinking too much, and said reassuringly, "I'm not afraid of the dark, I can sleep alone."

Meng Chuxi laughed, thinking of Zhou Qingwu, she wanted to laugh even more.

Zhou Nian'an came to this family just like that. Having an extra child is no more costly than raising a pet.Meng Chuxi tore up Zhou Nian's settlement deed, which showed that she was not someone who could be manipulated at will. If she was brought to the county government for naturalization registration, she would be considered to have settled down completely.

Zhou Nian'an used to live in a mixed environment, and Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu had to teach him some things slowly, but fortunately, although Zhou Nian'an was full of vigilance and hated the world, he trusted and liked Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu, as if he was born It's in harmony, so it's still obedient.

These days, Meng Chuxi will teach her to read whenever she is free, starting from Qianziwen. She is easy to learn and smart, and Meng Chuxi teaches her very worry-free.It's just that Zhou Nian'an is quite indifferent to outsiders, and even resists communicating with outsiders. Taking her out must be standing behind the two without saying a word, and his expression is also indifferent, with a kind of cold scrutiny.

Meng Chuxi had talked with her a few times, and Zhou Nian'an knew about it, and was working hard to change it. These were enough to make Meng Chuxi and the others feel relieved.

Although Zhou Nian'an is young, he has experienced many things, and he hardly has the faults of the usual pampered children. He is well-behaved and sensible, and he doesn't need two people to worry too much.

Zhou Qingwu found that the voices in the room became more and more with the addition of a person, and Meng Chuxi finally had someone who could talk all the time.Of course, this is what she thinks, but Meng Chuxi prefers to talk to Zhou Qingwu.

The two sets of tableware in the family became three sets. When Meng Chuxi returned from busy work, Zhou Qingwu was no longer alone at home, which made her feel more at ease and happy.

As the days passed, Zhou Nian'an basically got to know her in the mulberry garden, and Luo Wu and the others basically knew that this little girl was adopted by their boss.

At the beginning of May, a large number of mulberries in the mulberry garden were ripe. The mulberry trees planted by Qiu Yuanzhen produced large and juicy fruits, and the taste was particularly good.In order to speed up the picking, in addition to asking people to pick it, Meng Chuxi also posted a notice that children who are willing to eat mulberries can take some home for free after picking a basket in the mulberry garden. It’s okay if they pick more and waste less Pay by quantity.

If picking mulberries becomes a task, it will become boring and boring, but it is a kind of fun for children.

Therefore, as soon as the notice was issued, children from all over the world came here when they were free. Don't underestimate the efficiency of the children. When the enthusiasm is triggered, the speed is extraordinarily fast.

At this time, the idle silkworm room came in for another purpose. Someone washed the mulberries and put them in the altar, preparing to make mulberry wine.

This year's volume is large, and Meng Chuxi invited someone to help. She is responsible for adding the koji and checking the ratio of ingredients, so Zhou Qingwu doesn't need to work hard.Zhou Qingwu loves to eat mulberries, but Zhou Nian'an is like her in that, he can eat a lot in one go.

When Meng Chuxi was making wine, she picked out the good mulberries, filled a basket full and put them in front of the two of them: "Come on, it's all yours, eat slowly."

The two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Meng Chuxi was looking at the wine-making tanks. Behind him was a small square table placed under a peach tree in the yard. The peach trees were full of immature peaches, but they had already grown in size. Green peaches, green leaves, scattered Sunny, quiet and beautiful.

Sitting under the shade of the tree, one big and one small were eating mulberries one by one, their cheeks puffed and moving, all looking at Meng Chuxi.Meng Chuxi saw the two of them as soon as she turned her head, and immediately laughed: "Obviously they don't look the same, but they look more and more alike."

Zhou Qingwu looked at Zhou Nian'an, blushed, Zhou Nian'an squinted his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.Although she is still young, she can already tell that Zhou Nian'an doesn't like to laugh, and she is even more serious when she goes out, and she only shows a soft look to her two older sisters.

The addition of a mouthful of people's family is a little more lively, and the days have become more warm, but the storm will still come after all.

After Xia Silkworm had collected the silk, Meng Chuxi couldn't rest immediately.Sangyuan and the Yan family have cooperated for a long time, and Meng Chuxi worked in the Yan family before, so Yan frame will still hand over part of the property to Meng Chuxi and Jinyun Pavilion to take care of it.This time there is a lot of silk, and the order from Suzhou has been fully delivered, so this batch of goods needs to be transported to Suizhou by land.

Meng Chuxi needs to handle it personally, and may even deliver the goods herself.With this batch of goods delivered, they can be stable for a while.

A few days later, it was negotiated, because the Yan family just signed a big contract and there was not enough manpower, so Meng Chuxi was still allowed to go.

After Zhou Qingwu got the news, he felt a little depressed. The ten days he went to Suzhou was too difficult.After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Qingwu kept looking at Meng Chuxi when he was sleeping at night, and his bright eyes told her that she was unhappy.

Meng Chuxi laughed, leaned over and bent over to look at her: "Who made my Qingwu unhappy, why are you so unhappy?"

Zhou Qingwu pointed at her: You.

Meng Chuxi poked her head against her: "What bad thing did I do to make you unhappy?"

Zhou Qingwu pouted and gestured: You know it well.

"Can't you bear me?"

Zhou Qingwu looked at her, and finally gestured: I want to go with you.

Meng Chuxi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly: "The journey is very tiring."

Zhou Qingwu frowned angrily and gestured: I miss you and worry about you even more tired.

Meng Chuxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhou Qingwu who was blushing again with shame, she pursed her lips and smiled lowly, probably because she was poked into the apex of her heart, Meng Chuxi couldn't stop laughing, she looked at her shy girl, endured and endured , or confirmed happily: "Really?"

Zhou Qingwu saw through her, and made gestures: Really, really, just go for it.

Meng Chuxi was really proud, she hugged Zhou Qingwu in her arms, and rolled directly onto the couch, she pressed on Zhou Qingwu, the corners of her mouth curled up: "You really miss me that much?"

After getting an inch, Zhou Qingwu turned his head away from her with a blushing face but full of annoyance, so he didn't want to see her acting like this.

Meng Chuxi's eyes were soft and doting. She liked Zhou Qingwu like this to death. She reached out to caress her face and thought for a while: "If I really want to go, what about Nian'an?"

Zhou Qingwu glanced at her in surprise, and after confirming that she was agitated, he quickly gestured: I told Nian'an that I can let Sister Jiang take care of her. Son.

It is not suitable to take Zhou Nian'an with him on a long journey. It has been more than a month since he came to the mulberry garden, and Zhou Nian'an has adapted very well.Luo Wu and Sister-in-law Jiang dote on her very much. They are trusted by Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu, so you can rest assured.

Meng Chuxi still looked at her tenderly: "Is it all planned?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded, shook her arm, begging and coquettish.

Meng Chuxi couldn't resist, she completely surrendered in her heart, but... She pointed to her lips: "Kiss me, I promise you."

Zhou Qingwu blushed, then closed his eyes and kissed her, and quickly left.The smile in Meng Chuxi's eyes couldn't be suppressed at all, it flowed out from the gap, it was truly radiant.

"Too fast, not enough." The voice was an octave lower and ambiguous.

Zhou Qingwu's heart broke, and he put his arms around her neck and kissed her deeply.A smile froze on Meng Chuxi's face, and she lowered her eyes to meet this sweet kiss.

In a daze, she bit Zhou Qingwu's ear and murmured: "Qingwu, be good, keep your voice down, Nian'an is still next door."

Zhou Qingwu's whole body collapsed and he was swallowed by her again with a whimper. His body was trembling, and he let Meng Chuxi taste it over and over again.

In the end, Meng Chuxi agreed to take Zhou Qingwu with her, and the two discussed it with Zhou Nian'an, and told her to read books and practice calligraphy on time at home, pay attention to safety and not go out alone, and told Luo Wu and the others repeatedly, so she was relieved, and Wu Wu early Just stick to this little master and can protect her.

Two days later, Meng Chuxi took Zhou Qingwu, eight guards and two subordinates to Suizhou.It's just that this decision made Meng Chuxi extremely regretful. If she knew what happened later, she would never take Zhou Qingwu with her. But fate is irreversible when the gears turn to that point, just like the robbery that destroyed Zhou Qingwu back then. generally.

Just after Meng Chuxi and his party set off, a man in gray clothes with a cloth cap looked up at the convoy leaving. He was not tall, but he was very strong. His arms under the linen gray clothes could be seen as a trainer, with strong Kong Wu .

He raised his hand to straighten his hat, opened his collar a little, revealing the dark red marks on his neck, and left quickly.

The convoy used horse-drawn carriages to transport the goods, and the group of people from Qingyang Town to Jiangyin County was the same.

They had been walking for four hours. At this time, they left Jiangyin County and walked on the official road to Jiangning Mansion. At this hour, there were not many pedestrians on the road. The leader told Meng Chuxi that there were still two hours before they could reach Jiangning Mansion.

The weather in May was hot or not, but the horses were already tired. Meng Chuxi thought for a while and asked them to stop, lead the horses to drink water, eat some fresh grass, and rush to Jiangning to stay at the hotel.

The carriage stopped, Meng Chuxi jumped out of the carriage, reached out to help Zhou Qingwu down, and the entourage handed the water bag to Meng Chuxi: "Boss Meng, drink some water first."

Meng Chuxi thanked her, and handed the water bag to Zhou Qingwu: "Come, drink some water."

Zhou Qingwu took a sip and handed it to Meng Chuxi, who took it over and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zhou Qingwu shook her head, but Meng Chuxi didn't believe it. She stretched out her hand and juggled and took out another bag of things. After opening it, there were a few pieces of pastries and the expensive five-spice cake before.

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback: Where did you come from?

After asking, she suddenly remembered that Meng Chuxi told them to wait for something on the way, and she probably bought it at that time.

She glanced at her reproachfully, and looked at the people around them who were chewing scones. She blushed a little, whether she had been spoiled too much.

Meng Chuxi knew what she meant, and whispered in the past: "It's okay, you can only eat delicious food if you have a daughter-in-law, and they can only eat scones if they don't have one."

Zhou Qingwu laughed, and Meng Chuxi frowned and fed her a snack: "Is it sweet?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded: sweet.

Although they are only eating pastries at this moment, they are still staying in the deserted countryside, which is happy for both of them.

It's just that this beautiful and peaceful scene didn't last long. Seeing that Zhou Qingwu had almost eaten, Meng Chuxi put away the rest and was about to see how they were feeding the horses, but she keenly noticed something strange in the nearby woods.

Meng Chuxi paused, and retreated towards Zhou Qingwu as if nothing had happened. At the same time, he gestured to Boss Ke, who was looking at her to escort the goods. password.

A group of people sitting on the ground and resting immediately realized that there was a situation, turned over, and quickly leaned against the cargo, with their hands on the weapons. At this moment, a rain of arrows came from the woods. Meng Chuxi led Zhou Qingwu Immediately rolled behind a tree, a few iron arrows were nailed to the tree and the ground where they were hiding.

Because of Meng Chuxi's startled awakening, most people were on guard and pulled out their knives to shoot down the arrows. They could dodge one or two arrows if it was too late, but they still hadn't figured out the situation, so that some people fell to the ground with arrows on the spot and were dragged away by their companions. Behind the carriage.

The horses couldn't be harnessed to the carriage, and they couldn't run with the goods at all. At this moment, they almost thought that the other party was here for robbery.

Boss Ke said angrily: "Everyone, be vigilant and protect the goods. There has never been an accident in this area. Where did this group of strong people come from!"

"Boss Meng, are you all right?"

Meng Chuxi looked nervous, and replied: "It's okay." Looking at the pale Zhou Qingwu, the remorse on her face was hard to hide.I said before that there was no accident on the way, and there were a lot of people accompanying her. She thought there was no danger, otherwise she would never have taken her with her.

She lowered her body and hugged Zhou Qingwu: "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

After the rain of arrows stopped, a group of men in black rushed out from the woods. Meng Chuxi glanced at it, and his heart suddenly sank. These people were far more than the people accompanying them.

The guards over there were already fighting with them, and Meng Chuxi keenly noticed what the other party was looking for. After seeing their side, the leader waved his eyes and came straight to them.

Meng Chuxi's mind was spinning quickly, and she immediately realized that the other party was not after the goods, but at them!
