Into Liaozhai and falling in love

Ning Caichen's family has been a scholarly family for generations, but from his grandfather's generation, the family has been in decline, and his generation has barely supported it. Although the family is not rich and powerful, it can be regarded as a well-off family.

After arriving in the city, Ning Caichen naturally wanted to go home directly. As for Lu Qian and Yan Chixia——

Lu Qian turned his face: "Have you ever been here?"

Yan Chixia shook her head, although his ideal is to be a swordsman and walk around the world with a sword, but——since he met a certain ghost, besides practicing swords every day, he can be called a swordsman. There is no difference between the children trapped in the family.

Lu Qian flattened his mouth: "That's over. If you don't know the place where you live, it must be difficult to find a house."

Ning Caichen suggested: "It's better for Brother Yan and Xiaoqian to stay at Xiaosheng's house for the time being. As for—" He pursed his lips and glanced at Lu Qian, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "If it's just for a few days, as long as I tell you As long as your mother and wife don't have any contact with you, there won't be any major problems."

He smiled slightly, "Let's leave it to Xiaosheng for the two of you to stay in the future. Although Xiaosheng is not a popular person in this city, he always has his own contacts. Please rest assured that within ten days, you will definitely be there." Find a house that satisfies both of you."

Yan Chixia looked at Lu Qian and signaled him to make a decision.

Lu Qian lowered his head slightly, biting his lower lip and hesitating.

Nie Xiaoqian would damage the lives of the old, the weak, women and children, but he definitely would not. He just found a reason to reject Ning Caichen at that time, and now—he glanced at the sun that was gradually sinking in the distance.

If he didn't agree to come down, he and Yan Chixia would have to stay at the inn at least today.

Although Lu Qian said that he didn't care about the account, he also knew that Yan Chixia definitely had no spare money, and they didn't just live in the town for a day or two, they would definitely stay for a long time.

So what they need to do now is to find a high-quality and cheap house as soon as possible. It may not be enough to buy it for a short time, but they have to rent it anyway.

If I live in an inn now, I am afraid that the money for renting a house will be in danger. Except for the village, I need money for food and drink, and I must not spend it where I can save.

Seeing him in trouble, Yan Chixia leaned over and lowered her head slightly, reminding him softly in a voice that only the two of them could understand: "Don't worry about other things, you can do whatever you want, and I'll figure out other things."

Hearing this, Lu Qian raised his face to look at him in surprise, and met Yan Chixia's determined eyes, he nodded and swallowed, then turned to Ning Caichen and said, "Then I will trouble you for the next two days, It’s true that once or twice won’t take too much damage to their bodies, as long as they don’t have close contact for a long time, we’d rather be obedient and just stay at your house for two days.”

Yan Chixia: "...!" Didn't I already say that I don't have to worry about other things, why did I really live in that scholar's house!He looked at Lu Qian dully, but didn't get any response from the other party.

Ning Caichen showed a happy expression on his face: "Okay, okay, I know I know, and I will let them avoid you as much as possible." Even if it wasn't because of Nie Xiaoqian's physique, Ning Caichen didn't want Nie Xiaoqian to see it from the bottom of his heart. His wife, he greeted Lu, "Here, come with me first."

As if afraid of Lu Qian's repentance, Ning Caichen has been enthusiastically introducing his family situation.

The Ning family can only be regarded as a well-fed and well-clothed family, so naturally they can't be compared with big families.The house is ancestral, very big.But there are no maids and servants. His old mother, his wife, and him live in the house, and there are only three people in total.

The smile on Ning Caichen's face made it almost impossible to go down, and his eyes were tightly narrowed into a slit: "The backyard is all empty, it's just that no one lives in it and needs to be cleaned. But don't worry, I will ask my wife to help You clean it up." He shrank his eyes, but besides her, he didn't know who should clean it.

Lu Qian frowned, regretting his impulsiveness just now, and he couldn't say the words of refusal after turning around in his mouth, not because of anything else, a penny forced the hero to death.

Ning Caichen panicked, glanced at him, recalled carefully that he didn't seem to have said anything that he shouldn't have said, and asked cautiously: "Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"

Lu Qian didn't answer his words, but turned around and said: "Big facial paralysis, we are already very disturbed living in someone else's house, so don't bother others, we just clean it ourselves."

Yan Chixia didn't care, anyway, he was the one who did all the work at home.Besides, it seems that I heard that the scholar's wife is sick, and it's not good for two big men to ask a sick woman to help them clean up the house.

Yan Chixia nodded in agreement.

Lu Qian turned his face back, and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing: "It really bothers you too much. It just so happens that our things are messy, so it's better to come by yourself."

Ning Caichen felt that Lu Qian was angry, but because he cared too much and didn't understand what went wrong for a while, he had no choice but to agree.I didn't dare to talk too much along the way, and led the way carefully.

After arriving, because Ning Caichen's mother went to get medicine for Ning Caichen's sick wife, there was only one sick woman left in the family.

Even with etiquette, Lu Qian and Yan Chixia couldn't bother the sick person right now, so they packed up a room to rest under Ning Caichen's guidance.

After dismissing Ning Caichen, Lu Qian hovered cross-legged above a stool, looked at the clean and tidy room, and nodded with satisfaction.

Yan Chixia put down the burden on her back, fetched a basin of water to clean the room, just in time to see his smile when she entered the door: "Do you like it?"

Lu Qian raised his face, floated on his back with a smile, put his arms around his neck and hung on his body: "What do you like or not, but he said that no one has lived in it for a long time, I thought it would be like a firewood house It's so dirty and messy, I didn't expect the environment to be so good."

Yan Chixia walked back and forth in the room with him behind her back, scrubbing the tables, chairs and benches. Lu Qian stretched out his hand to lift the curtain that was in the way, and twirled his fingers: "If Ning Caichen hadn't said so swearingly, I would have thought there were people here just yesterday. Well, by the way, you said it must not be haunted."

Lu Qian turned around and smiled at him as a joke.

It saved me a lot of trouble if it was clean, Yan Chixia didn't take it seriously, ignoring his prank: "It should be that Mrs. Ning will clean it up and down every once in a while, the garden I just passed by also has traces of new pruning, but the taller There is no place, probably because his wife's pigeon is not too tall."

After a pause, Yan Chixia continued, "Although the room next door is locked, but judging by the situation on the door, it should be similar to this one."

Lu Qian was thoughtful, raised his face and squinted his eyes after a while: "His wife is really nice, she is still working at the helper's house when she is sick."

But obviously no one lives in these houses, and she doesn't need to trim the gardens herself, so why can't she rest and insist on getting up and working? Doesn't it mean that the condition is very serious and she can only rest in bed?

Are all women in ancient times like this, their own health should be ranked behind these chores?It's impossible to climb up and down to exercise if you are terminally ill.

Lu Qian pursed his lips and looked at Yan Chixia's resolute side face. He suddenly wanted to tell him all about Ning Caichen's changes and disappointments during this period, so that he might be able to help him make up his mind.

How should I feel about Ning Caichen?

But - when the words came to his lips, Lu Qian hesitated again.

Ning Caichen is a product of this era. Many of his ideas are due to the influence of his living environment and the cultural thoughts he has accepted since childhood.

And—Yan Chixia is the same, he was also born in this era and grew up in this era.

So there is a great possibility that Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen have the same ideas, not only will they not understand their entanglement, but they may also feel that their ideas are wrong.

Lu Qian stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, but swallowed all the words he was about to say.

just forget it.

For the time being, Lu Qian doesn't want to use these things to test the strength and reliability of the relationship between the two of them. Since Yan Chixia didn't show it as clearly as Ning Caichen, can he temporarily pretend that he doesn't know.

In this way - Yan Chixia is still the Yan Chixia in her heart.

Ning Caichen's wife was seriously ill. Occasionally, Lu Qian saw this woman who was so thin that she almost had a skeleton and was even more ghostly than him.

The cheeks are deeply sunken, the cheekbones are protruding, and a pair of deep-set eyes are cloudy and lifeless. Even wearing red and green can't conceal the lack of energy, and even makes the complexion darker and paler.

Lu Qian stood at the arched doorway, watching Ning Caichen help his wife for a walk in the garden. His wife was not feeling well, but she was obviously very happy. She held his hand and babbled without knowing what to say. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, and even the eyes that were originally dull and lifeless seemed to have a spirit.

He took one look and left.In fact, to a certain extent, Ning Caichen is not bad for his wife, it's just that everyone has the right to love beauty, but since he has made a promise, he must try his best to be patient if he can't keep it, right?When his wife was seriously ill, what's the matter with being courteous to him all the time.

Recalling the sincere smile on Ning Caichen's face when he was supporting his wife just now, his eyes were full of affection, as if the people in front of him were his whole world, and he couldn't see at all that he was still bowing down to himself just to be looked at.Lu Qian shuddered one after another, different ways and no conspiracy.

It's better to find a house as soon as possible and move out to live.

Before he could go back to the courtyard where he and Yan Chixia lived temporarily, Lu Qian saw a woman in gray linen staggering towards him.

Ning Caichen's mother.

Early the next morning after that day, Lu Qian and Yan Chixia visited.In the original story, Nie Xiaoqian did not hide her life experience, so Lu Qian also told the truth, and also emphasized that if it is not necessary, please try not to contact her, so what are you doing now.

With doubts in Lu Qian's eyes, he did not move forward, but stood there and waited respectfully.
