Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  Li Baolu held the steamed bun and took a bite. She peeked at the master and mother-in-law with her eyes flexibly. She always felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange.

Niuniu was sitting upright on the couch and took down the nine-chain with Xiaobao, and Pandi was tossing with one. Li Baolu glanced at them and stuffed the remaining steamed buns in her mouth. Said: "Mother, I'll take them to buy something later, do you want to go together?"

"what do you want to buy?"

   "There are still fewer clothes, shoes and socks. I want to go to the clothing store to buy some for them. I have a lot of pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home, so I don't need to buy them anymore, but some enlightenment books have to buy another two sets."

"Clothes, shoes and socks should be done by the servants in the family, and the ready-to-wear shop may not be close to the body," Qin Wenyin glanced at Bai Yitang, who was sitting in the distance, and said with a slight pause: "You need to buy some other things, you bring Niuniu with you too. Come on, I won't go, and you can send her back directly, and I won't come to pick her up."

  Li Baolu nodded, it was confirmed, something must have happened between the two of them.

  Li Baolu didn't ask any further questions. After breakfast, she washed her hands and went out with her three children. Zhao Ning had already reported to the academy, while Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian also went out to play.

  Hongtao and Qingling followed Li Baolu out to take care of the children, while Dongfeng followed Gu Jingyun's orders, leaving only the old concierge Li Tou, the servant Nanfeng and the cook.

  Old Litou was cutting flowers and plants with a pair of scissors, while Chef Sun brought Nanfeng to prepare lunch in the kitchen.

  The more masters in the family, the more snacks are used, and she will have to cook and make more snacks later.

   So there were only Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin left in the flower hall.

   Silence spreads between the two.

Bai Yitang glanced at Qin Wenyin secretly and saw her with her head lowered, her hands in her sleeves and on her knees. From him, she could only see her smooth forehead and jet-black hair. It was strangely quiet in this situation. In the atmosphere, let his heart beat a little faster.

   Unlike the urgency to face danger, this kind of tension is a little sore and full of anticipation.

  Bai Yitang frowned slightly, this feeling he had never had before, it was unfamiliar.

   Qin Wenyin was embarrassed by her niece's childish words this morning, and was thinking about how to explain it to him without revealing her brother and sister's privacy.

   was struggling when Bai Yitang suddenly stood up and said with a soft smile, "Miss Qin, I'll take you back to Qin Mansion."

   Qin Wenyin looked up at him in amazement. Bai Yitang always called her "Mrs. Qin". After all, she was married and had children.

   But seeing Bai Yitang's light eyes, which was no different from before, the intelligent Qin Wenyin suppressed the doubts in her heart, got up and nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Hero Bai."

   Bai Yitang sent Qin Wenyin out, only to find out that Li Baolu had requisitioned her carriage, Qin Wenyin was slightly startled.

   Bai Yitang, as if he didn't notice anything unusual, greeted Old Li Tou in the yard and opened the door and stepped aside.

   Qin Wenyin thought about it and went out.

  The two walked out side by side, Bai Yitang said with a light smile: "I want to buy some words and miscellaneous notes, if Miss Qin is not in a hurry, why not show me the way?"

  Bai Yitang explained: "Bai is not familiar with the capital. I heard that Miss Qin used to come to Lingsheng Street when she was studying."

Qin Wenyin remembered the time she used to study, with a slight smile on her face, she nodded and said, "I'm really familiar with Lingsheng Street, it hasn't changed much over the years. Most of the books in the book are the books of hundreds of scholars and exam aids, while the stalls in the back street have a lot of words and miscellaneous notes, some of which are still hand-copied. However, the books in it are very mixed, and there are many excellent books that are unsightly. More, you have to have a big wave to wash away the sand, and whether you can find a good one depends on your eyesight."

  Bai raised his eyebrows. He thought that a "talented girl" like Qin Wenyin would disdain the miscellaneous notes in the book, but he didn't expect her to be very familiar with it.

   He didn't understand why he felt that way at this time, but he acted on his intuition and wanted to spend more time with her.

   Now the other party makes him feel more comfortable, and he wants to know each other more.

   He said calmly: "I'm not familiar with it, you can help me take a look later."

   Qin Wenyin responded without shyness, and didn't think there was anything wrong with picking up miscellaneous notes for a person of the opposite sex.

   Exiting the alley is the main street. The two of them didn’t call a carriage, and walked down the street side by side.

   Most of the people on Lingsheng Street were scholars. At first glance, they were all scholars in Confucian shirts and robes. Qin Wenyin looked complicated and couldn't help but stop.

   "What's the matter?" Bai Yitang turned to look at her, "But you're not feeling well?"

Qin Wenyin shook her head and said sadly: "When I was studying, the folk customs were open, and the Beijing Central Women's Academy was popular. Every day after school or ten days off, we always liked to invite our classmates to visit Lingsheng Street to exchange books, calligraphy and paintings. There are many pedestrians on this street. One-fifth are traders, three-fifths are male students, and the other fifth are female students."

   "Poetry meetings, literary meetings, and women can also participate. Unlike today, young women must be accompanied by elders when they go out, and they have to wear a hat. The whole street is not a man or a man at a glance."

   Bai Yitang pointed forward: "Aren't they women?"

Qin Wenyin looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw two little girls with flower baskets rushing to sell, she shook her head and smiled: "When there were female students, this little girl selling flowers on the street What's more, some people are bold and stand directly at the gate of the academy, just waiting for us to come out and then come forward to sell. We usually buy a hairpin on our head, and if we see a handsome senior, we will buy flowers to vote for He, to grab a lot of money."

   Bai Yitang asked, "Have you ever thrown it?"

   Qin Wenyin shook her head and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I accompanied my friends to watch them throw it away. I didn't think so before, but now I look back at it and think how precious it was at the time."

  I don’t think it is precious because I have it, but now that I have lost this freedom, I know how precious the tolerance and openness of the era they lived in were.

  It's a pity, time has passed, and now the status of women is low, maybe she will never see that kind of youthful and lively again in her life.

  Bai Yitang was silent, followed Qin Wenyin through the streets, and soon took a shortcut to the back street.

   She is really familiar with Lingsheng Street. Because he is a thief, he is used to familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment every time he goes to a place, and only then does he know some small roads.

   He knew that some people who lived here for a few years might not know about some small roads, but Qin Wenyin just hesitated a little and walked in the right direction, and quickly detoured to the back street.

  The back street is a bit more cluttered than the main street. There are two long stalls along the walls on both sides. The stalls are full of books, and they are placed randomly.

   Most of these books are second-hand old books and manuscripts, and there are also new books.

   Bai Yitang had glanced at this place two or three times when he was flying around on the roof. He was not very familiar with it, but he was not too unfamiliar.

   But he looked around like he was here for the first time, and solemnly nodded and commented: "There are quite a lot of booths."

The corners of Qin Wenyin's mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled: "In the past, there were more, even the alleys next to it were full of stalls. The books here are very cheap, and there are also some old books from hundreds of scholars, so scholars often come here to Taobao. , while the female students love to come here to find a storybook, miscellaneous notes and some craft books."

   "And a crafting book?"

Qin Wenyin nodded, "Of course there are, but it's rare. In the past, my classmate found a book dedicated to Shu embroidery from the booth, which recorded several lost embroidery methods. She has studied for a long time and has already developed a Two kinds, I haven't seen it for many years, and I don't know if she has also researched the rest of the embroidery skills."

   Qin Wenyin settled down in front of a booth, turned her head and asked, "What kind of text books and miscellaneous notes are you looking for?"

  Bai Yitang thought for a while and said, "I don't care about miscellaneous notes, travel notes, topographical records, ghost legends, and I can read them all, and the text only needs to be in the rivers and lakes."

   Qin Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled, "You are from Jianghu, so you can be forgiven for loving this."

Bai Yitang shook his head, "No, I have read other scriptures before, but except for the hatred of the country and the family, the rest are the love-hate relationship between the young lady and the poor scholar, or the love-hate relationship between the poor girl and the rich boy, I think My teeth are sore. I'm not like Baolu, I keep looking down even if I'm going to vomit."

   "...I said why there are so many scriptures in Chunxi's house, so you gave her?"

"No," Bai Yitang flatly denied, "how could I show her the kind of book that teaches bad children? Qinghe found it for her and told her to read more and know how other people are stupid. It's easy to avoid."

  Bai Yitang resolutely pushed the responsibility and framed it: "I just saw those scriptures from Baolu, and only then did I know that the scriptures were written like this for you young ladies."

   Qin Wenyin thought of her son's eccentric and conceited character, it was indeed possible for him to do such a thing, so she no longer pursued it.

   Bai Yitang was slightly relieved to see her lowering his head to help him find the book, and then frowned slightly, this feeling was not right.

  Why should he be afraid of her prejudice against him?

   Didn't they often have differences and quarrels before? He never felt ashamed.

  Bai Yitang frowned and lowered his head. Although he has never had a loved one and has no plans to get married, it does not mean that he does not understand feelings.

   Although he has never felt it, he has seen a lot. Besides, he has always been smart and sensitive, and he became suspicious almost when he realized that he was covering up his behavior.

  He is—he's heartbroken?

  Bai Yitang looked down at Qin Wenyin and saw that her brows and eyes were gentle and her face was indifferent. Just standing there quietly gave people a gentle and holy feeling of the moon shining on the water. It was not thrilling, but it was so beautiful that people could not forget it.

  Bai Yitang discovered for the first time that Qin Wenyin was also very beautiful, with thin and long eyes, a gentle personality, a head and a frown, and a face like peach cheeks, beautiful and refined.

  Bai Yitang couldn't help but smile lightly, his eyes were bright as chen, that's all, that's all, why do you have to escape the suppression when your heart is already moving?
