Chapter 246 Mr. Gu invites you over
Shen Qingtan stared at the pebbles under the steps and slowly raised his eyes.
I saw a figure appear at the door, wearing a green mask with fangs on his face, holding a long spear in his hand, and performing a set of fancy spear skills with great vigor.
Showing off his gun skills, Shen Lue carried the spear on his shoulder, lifted the mask on his face, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth: “Sister, is Third Brother cool?”
Shen Qingtan looked at his sweaty face, and the smile on her face was brighter than the scorching sun in the sky, dispelling the clouds in her heart.
Her eyes softened, and she smiled, "Third brother, your marksmanship is pretty cool."
Shen Lue was praised and became even more cheerful.
He threw his spear to the ground and quickly came to Shen Qingtan's side. "Sister, there is a custom in the border town. Every time there is a festival, there is a grand blessing ceremony. Local officials carefully select a group of young girls. They wear masks of little Fuwa and perform a blessing dance."
He raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his temples. "I'm a grown man, I can't dance, can I? I'm showing off my gun skills and praying for my brother-in-law."
Shen Qingtan looked at Shen Lue in a daze. From the moment she saw him appear in a mask, she knew that he was deliberately trying to make her happy.
Who would have thought that the seemingly silly and careless third brother was actually very thoughtful. Every time he gave them a gift, it was very unique and his care was clearly shown.
For example, the longevity turtle I specially gave you last time, and the special blessing shooting technique today.
"Third brother, you performed a blessing dance for the Second Master. He will surely be safe." Shen Qingtan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him. He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly asked, "Third brother, do the eldest and second brothers know about your blessing dance?"
Shen Lue took Shen Qingtan's handkerchief, wiped it carelessly on his face, and said confidently: "Of course I don't know."
It's such an embarrassing thing that only my sister can see it.
If the other two knew, who knows how they would laugh at him.
The corners of Shen Qingtan's lips moved, and he stretched out his fingers to press the corners of his lips, and called out to Shen Lue behind him: "Big brother, second brother, you are here."
Shen Lue was stunned for a moment, and looked behind him stupidly following Shen Qingtan's gaze.
I saw Shen Du and Shen Zhu standing at the gate of the courtyard like two door gods.
His thick black eyebrows twitched: "When did you two come here?"
Chen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Not long, almost at the same time as you."
Shen Lue's eyes suddenly widened.
This time, Chen Zhuo did not laugh at him.
Chen Du glanced at the closed door and walked steadily to Shen Qingtan.
"Manman, you wanted to know about the customs of Liangzhou before, but due to your brother-in-law's illness, it's inconvenient for us to go to Liangzhou." Chen Du said gently, "My eldest and second brothers have found a place where the layout is exactly the same as in Liangzhou. Do you want to go and take a look?"
A warm feeling surged in Shen Qingtan's heart. Her brothers were afraid that she was worried about Zhao Yi, so they tried to find ways to cheer her up and take her to relax.
She shook her head: "Brother, let's go tomorrow."
Shen Du was silent for a moment.
For so many years, he has never been with other women, and he doesn't know how to coax a woman.
He looked at Shen Zhuo beside him, as if asking him for his decision.
Shen Zhuo frowned, his expression also looking like he was stuck in a difficult puzzle.
Shen Qingtan felt a little relieved when she saw her brothers racking their brains to coax her.
She explained, "Brother, the Second Master is detoxifying today, and my mindset hasn't adjusted yet. I'm not in the mood to enjoy the show for now. I'm afraid I'll disappoint my brothers."
Hearing this, Chen Du's eyes softened: "It's okay, then we can go tomorrow." After a pause, he said, "Mom has prepared breakfast, will you take me there?"
Shen Qingtan nodded: "Okay."
-
The night was as cold as water, and Shen Qingtan lay in bed, unable to sleep.
Since they got married, she had rarely slept apart from Zhao Yi, having long been accustomed to having him by her side. Now that they were suddenly separated, with no certainty about his life or death, she felt worried, so how could she sleep?
She got up from the bed, selected the material, and wanted to embroider a sachet, but her mind was blank and she had no idea what pattern to embroider.
She tried to copy Buddhist scriptures to calm her mind, but she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and her heart became increasingly unbearable.
Shen Qingtan lay back on the bed in frustration, tossing and turning until dawn.
Liu Yue came in to help Shen Qingtan get up. Seeing the dark shadow under her eyelids, she said distressedly, "Second Madam, you didn't sleep well. Can you sleep a little longer?"
Shen Qingtan pressed his solar plexus: "I'm going out with my brothers today."
Liu Yue stopped persuading her and helped Shen Qingtan with her dressing.
After Shen Qingtan finished her meal and came out of the yard, she saw her three brothers lined up at the door waiting for her.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you have been waiting for a long time, right?" Shen Qingtan smiled and said, "Have you had breakfast?"
Chen Du, Chen Zhuo and Shen Lue hardly slept last night. They were worried about Shen Qingtan and kept watch outside the yard. They found that the lights in the house went out and on, on and off, over and over again.
They looked at Shen Qingtan's face inconspicuously, and he looked listless.
"We've already eaten." Chen Du asked, "Can we go out today?"
"Sure." Shen Qingtan urged, "Let's go."
The three brothers rode on horses, escorting a carriage, and arrived at a house.
Shen Qingtan stood at the door of the main house and turned around to look at his brothers who were standing motionless beside him.
Shen Du seemed a little nervous, his face tense.
Chen Zhuo unconsciously pulled at the sword tassel at his waist.
Shen Lue rubbed his big palms together: “Sister, push the door.”
Shen Qingtan took in the expressions of the three people and was very confused. This house was very ordinary, no different from the one she lived in, and there was no trace of the frontier style in it.
She suppressed her doubts and pushed the door open with both hands.
The scene in the room came into her sight inch by inch. The huge sand table almost occupied the entire room.
The sand table features snow-capped mountains with clouds and fog, the vast and majestic desert, the vast and desolate Gobi, the majestic passes, and cities full of pastoral life.
The miniature of Liangzhou is completely reproduced on the sand table, which can be seen at a glance.
Shen Qingtan stared at the curling smoke from the beacon tower, as if he could see the majestic scene of iron horses marching in all directions.
Her brothers took great pains to present her hometown where she was born and raised.
Her mind was no longer blank, and she had a deep understanding of the place where she was born.
Shen Lue pointed to the city where the flag was located: “Sister, our home is here.”
Shen Qingtan couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, so she turned around and hugged Chen Du beside her.
Chen Du was stunned for a long time, then raised his hand and gently hugged Shen Qingtan.
Shen Lue widened his eyes. It was clearly him who was introducing the younger sister, so why didn't his younger sister hug him but hugged the older brother?
-
Shen Qingtan and her brothers went out for a while and came back. For the next few days, they did not go anywhere and stayed in the house to embroider sachets for Zhao Yi.
She was determined that as long as she embroidered the sachet, Zhao Yi's illness would be cured.
On this day, the last stitch of the sachet was embroidered.
Tingxue rushed in, "Second Madam, Master Gu invites you over."
