Enter the red building

Xue Qiu didn't speak, because he couldn't speak at all, and didn't know what to say.Xue Qiu hugged Mrs. Xue, closed his eyes and let the tears flow down his cheeks slowly, feeling very happy and happy in his heart.

Mrs. Xue was almost a head shorter than Xue Qiu, leaning on Xue Qiu's shoulder, gently stroking Xue Qiu's back, and said, "Just come back, just come back."

Seeing her mother and elder brother crying with their heads in their arms, Xue Baoqin also shed tears, quickly wiped them with a handkerchief, walked over, and said with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Mom, elder brother should be happy when he comes back, don't be sad."

Mrs. Xue lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Then she turned her head and said to Wang Fu: "For today's meal, you should remember to make more of what the uncle likes to eat, like eight-treasure duck , pearl balls, Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber, coriander pigeon, duck feet with mushrooms, colorful beef tenderloin, and don’t forget that the uncle does not like to eat soft rice, only hard rice. Oh, yes. The uncle does not drink, I only like to drink Longjing, don’t forget this. And—”

"Mother!" Seeing Mrs. Xue's non-stop exhortations, Xue Qiu felt warm in his heart, but he still said: "Mother, it goes without saying. They also know."

Mrs. Xue warned again, "Let the people in the kitchen hurry up!" Then she turned to look at Xue Qiu and asked, "Qiu'er, are you hungry?"

Xue Qiu wanted to say that the emperor had given him a meal in the palace, but seeing the concern in Mrs. Xue's eyes, she nodded and said, "Yes! My son is hungry!"

As he spoke, Xue Qiu supported Mrs. Xue's right hand and walked towards the main hall.Wang Fu also hurried to the kitchen to explain.

Mrs. Xue kept her eyes on Xue Qiu, and asked anxiously: "Apart from the wound on the forehead, do you have any other injuries on your body? Don't hide it from me."

"Mother, don't worry, my son will never dare to lie to his mother!" Xue Qiu replied with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Xue patted Xue Qiu's hand lightly, her eyes were full of relief, and she said, "It's good that you're back, it's good!"

Xue Qiu helped Mrs. Xue into the main hall, then helped Mrs. Xue sit on the front chair, knelt down and said, "My son is unfilial, and mother is worried!"

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu kneeling on the ground, she didn't know how to feel for a while, she just sighed, and said: "Get up!"

Xue Qiu got up and smiled and said, "Mother, do you know? My son is going to be a marquis this time. The emperor told me himself, and the decree will only be issued tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu's happy face, but she was not very happy in her heart, she just sighed: "I would rather you not be a marquis, than suffer those injuries and suffer those hardships."

"My son didn't suffer any hardships. Those who suffered have already died there, and they will never come back." Xue Qiu said that his voice gradually faded away, as if he was whispering, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Seeing Xue Qiu's expression seemed very sad, Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Qiu'er?"

Xue Qiu shook his head, he said he would forget those days, but why did he remember it again, "It's nothing, I just remembered something."

Mrs. Xue didn't ask any further questions. She also knew that Xue Qiu had been on the battlefield, and there must be some changes. She just said, "Your cousin was taken to Dali Temple. Did you know about this?"

"My sister said just now that my cousin was taken away by the yamen, but she didn't say it was Dali Temple." Xue Qiu shook his head and said.

Mrs. Xue's complexion was not very good, she coughed a few more times, and said, "I just found out about this. Mrs. Kuang said that Xue Pan's life is safe, but I don't know how to judge it?"

Of course Xue Qiu knew how the sentence was, Xue Pan would have escaped, and it was easier to get away with his relationship now.But Xue Qiu didn't put his mind on Xue Pan at this time. Looking at his mother's cough, Xue Qiu woke up suddenly. In "Dream of Red Mansions", his mother seemed to have passed away very early and did not live as long as she does now.Xue Qiu asked urgently: "Mother, what's wrong with your body? Have you consulted a doctor?"

Mrs. Xue waved her hand, "No need, it's just that I'm a little tired these days, so it's okay."

Xue Qiu was worried, and persuaded: "But mother still needs to find a doctor to take a good look at it, otherwise the son will not feel at ease."

Xue Baoqin also said: "Yes, mother should find a doctor to take a look, don't really—"

"Okay! Okay! Listen to you!" Mrs. Xue was very happy to see that her two children were so filial and caring about herself, and she said with a smile.

"What do you listen to us? You obviously listen to my brother. I didn't say that, but my mother didn't take it to heart at all." Xue Baoqin said coquettishly on purpose.

Seeing Xue Baoqin jealous, Xue Qiu said with a smile: "You are still jealous of your brother. Your brother entrusted your mother to take care of you at the beginning, but you promised to take good care of your mother."

When Xue Baoqin heard this, she was not very embarrassed, she just lowered her head and said: "I have taken good care of my mother!"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! You have, you have! But you won't be able to take care of me soon."

Xue Baoqin understood the meaning of her mother's words, blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking, and twisted the handkerchief in her hands.

Xue Qiu heard his mother's words, then looked at his sister's shy appearance, and asked, "Is my sister's day fixed?"

Mrs. Xue nodded, "You have already set off to return to Beijing, so I didn't tell you. The people in the Mei family can't wait to marry Qin'er, they are afraid that something will happen."

"My younger sister has seen that kid Mei Xuan, but is she still willing?" Xue Qiu only cares about Xue Baoqin's thoughts, if his younger sister is unwilling, he will have his own way to make the Mei family retreat based on his current status, but it will definitely not ruin his younger sister's reputation. So he asked directly.

Xue Baoqin knew that her brother was thinking of herself, so she said such words, she blushed and nodded lightly, "He's fine!"

Xue Qiu was very surprised, looking at Mrs. Xue, wondering what was going on.

Mrs. Xue said with a smile in her eyes: "She met Mei Xuan once, and the two of them met by chance in the garden of Mei Mansion and talked for a while. After coming back, she was in a daze. Do you think she would not like it?"

"Mother!" Xue Baoqin felt very embarrassed hearing her mother say this about herself, and didn't want Mrs. Xue to continue talking.

Xue Qiu nodded, cleared his mind, and said to Xue Baoqin: "Sister, don't worry! If he dares to bully you in the future, I will let him taste my fist."

Xue Baoqin smiled, "Okay! From now on, I will rely on my brother for support."

······

Xue Qiu came back after three years. Xue Qiu and his mother and sister kept talking about some things about him in Guangdong and Guangxi in the past three years. Mrs. Xue also mentioned some people and things in Beijing during the past three years. During this period, no one was mentioned.

It's not that I forget, it's that I don't want to mention it. Maybe no one wants to destroy this rare peace.
