   Chapter 212 Guardian

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Mr. Quan had the habit of going to the temple, and Qin Shanglin and Qin Zhong also accompanied him there. Everyone in the family got up early. Today is the first day of the new year, even if they have jobs, they are put on hold. Yes, on the first day of the new year, everyone's faces are relieved.

Lian Yue and Quan Jingting went downstairs and planned to go out for a walk together. The temple fairs in Dijing will be held on the 15th day of the first lunar month. These days, some people have lost their minds. Besides, there are also several ancient towns nearby. The local customs and customs are more intense, and it is rare for Quan Jingting to have such a vacation, so naturally he has to take a good look around.

   The family sat in front of the dining table. The old man and Qin Shanglin had already gone out. At this moment, only Quan Feng and his wife brought a few children. Quan Yulin went downstairs early, and now sits next to Quan Feng for breakfast.

   "Qingyue and Jingting, didn't you try the wedding dress last night, is it suitable?" Su Luoying sat in the seat and asked, tearing the bread in her hands.

  Lian Yue put down the cup, "It fits well."

   This Quan Jingting didn't even measure her size, how could he give such an accurate measure? Every inch of fabric fits perfectly on her body, neither too loose nor too tight. It fits perfectly.

"That's good, but I'm really curious about what this wedding dress looks like. He has done a very tight job of keeping secrets. When the wedding dress was delivered, he didn't even let me see it." Su Luoying looked at his son complainingly. .

   It was said that it was going to be officially unveiled on the wedding day, and she was really very itchy. The wedding dress that Gero made was the first one in more than ten years, but she didn't see it. It was the dream of all women.

"I heard that it was a wedding dress made by Master Ge Luo himself. Brother Quan has a set. It is not small to be able to convince Ge Luo, who has been sealing the pen for many years, to make a wedding dress." Quan Yulin winked at her brother. .

   "It's definitely not easy." Su Luoying agreed.

  Lian Yue looked sideways, the man beside him was eating breakfast with a natural expression, and she was not moved by their words at all. She wondered how this person persuaded Master Gero.

"Have all your friends' invitations been sent out? The relatives and friends who should be invited here are no problem." Su Luoying said, "Our Quan family is hosting a wedding for the first time in so many years. We need to be more aggressive and invite them. Not one can be forgotten."

   "Don't worry, I don't have any friends in Dijing. I have sent all the invitations to me. They will all come over on the wedding day."

  The biggest happy event that the Quan family has encountered in the past 20 years, the first of these three children to get married, even if Su Luoying consciously controlled herself and didn't make a big deal, she still couldn't contain the scale.

   Therefore, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, celebrities from all walks of life at home and abroad will come to attend the wedding. Of course, many of them are distinguished or members of the royal family of various countries. Some relatives and friends around the Jiaquan family should be invited, so the number of people is indeed increasing.

"I'll take you to the beauty salon in two days. You're about to be a bride. Naturally, you need to take good care of it, from your scalp to your toes. You are so smart and beautiful, of course you want to amaze the audience at the wedding! Quan Yulin said to Lian Yue, wiping her bread.

  The bride of their brother Quan is the most beautiful in the world.

   "Okay, then thank you first." Lian Yue looked at her and smiled.

   Quan Yulin waved her hand, "Don't be so polite, we are all a family, by the way, take Naya there too, nourish and nourish her well, and let her be your bridesmaid."

   Such a succulent little girl, no need for nothing.

   "Speaking of who is the best man?" This is the key question.

  Lian Yue looked at Quan Jingting next to him, reached out and poked him, "Is it Rongye?"

  The man raised his hand, put a small biscuit in her mouth, and replied to Quan Yulin, "Rongye."

   "Ah? Just one best man." Quan Yulin muttered.

   Then you can only match one bridesmaid, and you should find a few handsome men and beautiful women to go on the stage for two laps.

  Lian Yue chewed the small biscuits in her mouth, Quan Jingting moved his fingers slightly, held the small biscuits and put them in her mouth again, then brought the milk cup to the woman's mouth and watched her drink it.

   Rongye is the initial decision. He never likes to be too complicated. It doesn’t matter how many or few of these irrelevant people are. There are too many people, and it will be troublesome at that time.

  Su Luoying nodded, this wedding is still not fully prepared, she will be busy in two days.

   "You guys are having fun these two days, but you have to pay attention to safety, especially you, do you hear me?" Quan Feng gave Quan Yulin an egg and put it on her plate.

  This girl is a famous troublemaker, so don't worry about being out of the way. Now she's carrying a Naya. If it wasn't for Quan Jingchen's people, this troublemaker wouldn't know how many things happened.

Moreover, the situation in the imperial capital these two days seems to be a bit wrong. The people under his subordinates came up and reported that since a few days ago, there have been many unidentified people coming to the imperial capital one after another. The matter is still unclear, and there is no guarantee that no one will target the Quan family.

   In other words, those unidentified people will not come for the Quan family, girls always have to pay attention to safety outside, and it is always right to be careful.

   "I know Dad, you started talking about me early in the New Year's Eve, I'll be careful." Quan Yulin snorted.

"Your dad is right, be careful with Naya these two days, don't be frizzy all the time, Qin Chongnian will bring Naya back, take this opportunity to have a good time with Naya Play around, take her for a walk and see, but don't cause any problems, it will be bad if someone gets hurt." Su Luoying ordered.

During this period of time together, Su Luoying still likes Naya very much. The little girl is lively and cheerful, and the family is very lively during this time in Dijing, but no matter what Jing Chen thinks about others, Qin Shanglin is Naya's guardian. , they want to take people away, and the natural authority cannot stop them.

Whether this little girl is really related to their Jingchen family depends on fate. If Jingchen really likes it, I am afraid that Naya will still come back to Quan's house in the end, but Su Luoying is most worried That is, Naya didn't mean that to Quan Jingchen in her heart.

   At that time, it was just the wishful thinking of their son.

Quan Jingchen held the chopsticks for a while. The news that Naya was going to be brought back by Qin Zhong was also what Qin Zhong told Su Luoying in advance last night. It was not a solution for this person to disturb Quan's house for so long. , After Lian Yue's wedding was over, Qin Zhong brought Naya back to the base.

Although it is not clear what the relationship between Naya and Quan Jingchen is like, Qin Zhong understands Naya. In this girl's world, there are countless things like diamonds. She was able to pick up Rongye's trouser legs last time. If you want to marry Rong Ye, even if you have said something to Quan Jingchen this time.

   That is also a child’s word, so it doesn’t count.

   "I know, don't worry, Dad, I want another." Quan Yulin said and looked at Quan Feng.

   Quanfeng put the peeled egg on the plate in front of her, "Eat more."

Naya stood on the stairs, her face was not very good all night, she clearly saw the intimacy between Quan Feng and Quan Yulin's father and daughter, a person like Quan Feng who was unsmiling outside, always faced his family. It's a little more soft.

   Her father was like this in the past, no matter how good he was outside, he always smiled when he came home, and the beard around his mouth always plucked her cheeks.

   On the day Daddy died, the weather was fine. When Naya came home from the college, she saw the huge living room, full of relatives sitting, and Daddy's body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the center of the living room.

  The police just extracted his fingerprints from the pistol that fell beside Daddy, as well as the caliber of the bullet shot into his chest, which matched the model of the pistol, and finally decided that Daddy committed suicide.

  To this day, she herself has not figured out why Daddy committed suicide, such a bold Daddy would never choose to commit suicide no matter what.

   "Naya is down, come over for breakfast." Su Luoying first saw the child standing on the stairs and said hello.

   Quan Yulin swallowed the boiled egg in her throat and almost choked to death. She drank the milk and looked at Naya. Just as she was about to say something, she sensed that the expression on her face was not right.

   "Why do you look so ugly, did you stay up late last night again?" Lian Yue stared at Naya's haggard look.

   I was like a little sun two days ago, how come it has become a frosted eggplant today.

   "I watched a movie last night, so I slept very late." Naya pulled her chair away, speaking in a low voice.

   "Look at how you look, can you still go out today? Eat breakfast and have a good rest, don't always think about going out and play." Lian Yue brought her two sandwiches and put them on the plate.

  Naya looked down at the food she handed over without speaking.

   "Naya, what movie did you watch that makes you look like this?" Quan Yulin stared at her.

  Something is wrong, even if you haven't slept all night, you won't be so haggard so quickly, looking at the inexplicable feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

   "Eat breakfast and then go to sleep. I see that your face is too bad. Don't go out with Yulin today." Su Luoying reached out and touched her head.

   This little girl, they are not used to being so quiet this morning.

Lian Yue stared at Naya, this little girl is probably not simply not sleeping, she can clearly feel Naya's depression, just like being shrouded in dark clouds, the whole person can't get up, in the past Even if she stayed up late for three or four days in a row, it wouldn't be like this.

   Even if she is physically tired, this little girl is still very energetic and full of energy. What happened this morning.

   "Then you won't go out with me today?" Quan Yulin asked Naya.

  The little girl nodded, bit her sandwich and said, "I still have to go up to make up my sleep."

  Well, there is no company for today, so she can only go out alone.

   Quan Jingting put down his chopsticks and looked at Lian Yue, who was staring at Naya in a daze, held her hand and stood up, "Let's go."

   "We're going out." He said to the people at the table.

   "It's fun." Su Luoying replied.

  Lian Yue looked away from Naya, there must be something wrong with this little girl, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

   Looking at the pair of beautiful people who left together hand in hand, Quan Yulin sighed deeply, "It doesn't make sense. If you go out to play alone, will you be laughed at?"

Quan Feng and Su Luoying were going to go out for New Year's greetings. The two simply cleaned up and went out. Soon only Quan Jingchen and Naya were left on the table. The little girl opposite was biting into the bread, but In fact, he didn't take a few bites, and he didn't even take a few bites of the sandwich that Yue handed over just now.

  According to the practice of the morning, she has already eaten all the edible objects at her hand. At this moment, she has no appetite, and her face is not good. At first glance, there is a problem.

   "I'm full." Nayara got up and prepared to go upstairs.

   "Wait." Quan Jingchen stopped the woman who was leaving.

   He took two steps and stood in front of Naya, looking down at the little **** his chest, "Tell me, what's the problem?"

   "No problem." She shook her head, preparing to avoid the man.

"There's no problem with this expression? Are you trying to deceive me or others?" Quan Jingchen stretched out his hand and pulled her wrist forward and went upstairs. Before he took a few steps, he felt something dripping on his own. On the palm of his hand, it was cold, a bit biting.

   When he turned around, he saw the little girl with her head lowered and wiped away her tears. Quan Jingchen hurriedly let go, holding her shoulders in a soft tone, "Did I touch you?"

  Naya shook his head and pushed him away, "It's okay, I just remembered the movie I watched last night, I went back to my room to rest, you don't have to follow me."

   Her mood was obviously much lower at the moment, with thick dark clouds covering her head. Quan Jingchen had never had any experience in coaxing a woman, and she was a nonsensical girl like Naya.

   was at a loss for a while, and when those little girls just burst into tears, his heart softened, for fear that her words would make her even more sad, so he didn't ask any more questions.

  Naya closed the door and stood at the door. The file on her phone that was deleted by her was resent, followed by a message.

   Above is a string of addresses, which should be the time and place to ask her to meet.

   Up to now, Naya still doesn't think that Lian Yue would be the one who killed her father, how could the boss be the one who killed Daddy so well to her.

   must have lied to her.

   But there were so many doubts about Daddy's death at the time. When I look back on it now, I find that many things are not connected. Little by little, even the appearance of Yue is so strange.

   Before Daddy died, she had never seen Lian Yue or knew her. It was also on the day of the funeral that Lian Yue appeared and brought her to IE. Almost five years have passed since then.

   Over the years, Lian Yue has treated her like her own sister. Until yesterday, she had never suspected that Lian Yue was the murderer of Daddy.

There is an ancient town with a traditional village on the outskirts of Dijing City. Over the years, due to the protection of traditional villages and the inheritance of traditional culture, the traditional houses here have been repaired and rebuilt, and the surrounding environment has been treated. same place.

A clear stream surrounds the entire village. The road paved with bluestone slabs is full of dampness, with blue bricks and red tiles, with the style and inheritance of the traditional architecture of M country. Because of the development of tourism, it can often be seen here. Tourists who come to travel with backpacks, because of the Chinese New Year, the place has been lively since a week ago.

On the first day of the new year, it is even more lively, with lantern shows and dramas. The street is also full of traditional handicraft snacks. Many young people specially come from the city center to take a walk here and feel As for the profound local customs and customs, there are red lanterns hanging under the eaves of every household with couplets written in calligraphy.

On the vacant street, the top of the head is connected by various colored threads, and it is covered with various colored lanterns, which are intertwined with each other, which is particularly beautiful. Lian Yue looked up at the lanterns overhead, following Quan Jingting's footsteps. Move forward a little.

   From time to time, you can see couples passing by holding hands, and people along the way are slightly surprised when they see the faces of the two. Can there be a more matching and stunning appearance in this world than these two?

   is simply amazing.

   "Have you come here before?" Lian Yue retracted her gaze and spoke to the man beside her.

   Quan Jingting was forced by Lian Yue to put on a maple red coat when he went out. The reason is very simple. On such a big New Year's day, on such a festive day, one should not wear something dark and not at all appropriate for the occasion.

  This is not very bright color, but also very lining up with Quan Jingting, the man's handsome face looks more gorgeous now, he holds Lian Yue's hand in his pocket, and walks slowly down the alley.

   "I came here when I was young, but when I grew up, I didn't have time to come here." Quan Jingting said to her.

   It was very lively when the Chinese New Year started. Whether it is singing opera or lanterns, you can feel the love and enthusiasm of the residents here for life. Although the commercialization has developed very rapidly in recent years, it seems that this place has not been affected much.

Except for the more people who came to feel the festive atmosphere, the rest had no other influence. There was an endless stream of people passing by along the way. People who came here would unconsciously slow down and feel the slowness here. Life.

   "That's so fragrant, let's go take a look." Lian Yue took him to the first stall selling traditional pastries.

   The stall owner was a young woman wearing a red padded jacket. He opened his mouth with a smile when he saw the two approaching.

   "The little girl is really good-looking. This is your boyfriend. You two really match up." The proprietress spoke with a Dijing accent.

   "Thank you, I want this, is this candy?" Lian Yue asked, pointing to the neatly arranged peanut candy in front of her.

"This is peanut candy, and we all make this for the New Year here." The proprietress greeted warmly, "Would you like to try it, our peanut candy has been changed a little, it won't be so greasy, it's the most suitable for little girls like you. already."

   "Get me two."

The proprietress took the paper bag and started filling her candy, saying, "I've opened a shop here for so long, and I've never seen a couple as good-looking as you, like a movie star. Come on, are you from the Imperial Capital?"

   If two people like    really wore sunglasses, someone might have mistaken them, but she didn't see their faces on TV.

   "We are." Lian Yue replied with a smile.

   "Here." The proprietress looked at the two with a smile.

   Quan Jingting handed over the banknotes, reached out and took the paper bag handed over by the proprietress, Lian Yue took a candy from it, pinched it in his hand and took a bite.

   "It tastes good, delicious." She said and put it to Quan Jingting's mouth, "Try it."

   The man took a bite and led her forward. The sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue. He never liked sweets.

  The proprietress took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the backs of the two of them. Looking at the two who left holding hands on the mobile phone, she sighed, "It's really beautiful."

In the photo, the man is tall and handsome, holding a paper bag in one hand and holding the girl beside him in the other. She raised her head and handed the candy in her hand to his mouth. From the side of her face, you can see the doting smile on the corner of the man's mouth. .

   Such a pair of beautiful people attracts attention wherever they go.

   "Have you finished buying so much?" Quan Jingting looked at the two paper bags in his hand.

  Lian Yue took a bite of the peanut candy, the rich fragrance spread on the tip of the tongue, and the taste was great.

   "This is for Naya. This girl must be in a bad mood in the morning. Although I don't know why, she is in a low mood. It is certain that she will be happy if she eats some sweets." Lian Yue replied.

   She actually had a reasonable doubt about whether Quan Jingchen did something to that girl, but one can't just blindly doubt it for no reason.

   "You're nice to her." Quan Jingting said in a flat tone.

  Lian Yue was about to take his hand out of his pocket when the man tightened, "Let it go, your hands will be cold for a while."

   "I brought Naya back to IE when she was fifteen years old. She has been staying in IE since her father died, and everyone treats her as a younger sister."

   "She shouldn't be from China, right?" Quan Jingting watched as she threw the last piece of candy into her mouth, took out a tissue and wiped her hands.

"Of course not, she is from D country, Naya's mother died when she was very young, her father had seven wives, but only one child like Naya, but her father's parenting style is very different, he taught Naya Be brave to love and choose your own life, so a large part of Naya's escapism is actually inherited from her father."

   When Lian Yue brought Naya to the base from country D, she thought that this girl would not be used to such a life, but she adapted quickly and did not make anyone worry at all.

   "I am her guardian. I promised her father that I will take care of her until she is married."

   Quan Jingting dragged her all the way, listened to what she said, raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman, "Guardian?"

   "Hmm." Lian Yue replied.

A red stall in front attracted her attention, Lian Yue dragged Quan Jingting forward, stood in front of the stall and looked at the old lady with reading glasses holding a pair of silver scissors in her hand. A little cut out of red paper.

On the stall in front of her were hanging red paper-cuts that had already been built. Yesterday, Lian Yue saw the servants pasting the window grilles on the glass one by one. She thought it was machine-made, but she didn't expect that There are artificial ones.

   There is a thing that can be vaguely identified as a tiger hanging above it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is lifelike.

   "This is paper cutting. You can cut out various patterns with scissors. Do you want it?" Quan Jingting explained aside.

  Lian Yue nodded, "Can this cut out my look?"

   There is a small sign on the side that says, you can cut portraits.

   "Would you like to try it?" Quan Jingting glanced.

  Lian Yue asked the old lady about the price. The old lady looked up at her and nodded, "Yes."

   "Then can I learn from you, simple paper-cutting?"

   Quan Jingting pinched her nose and laughed softly, "You can't learn it."

  Her hands are not capable of such meticulous work.

   "If you don't try it, how do you know if I can do it?" Lian Yue was eager to try, and sat in front of the low table next to the old lady.

   Seeing her appearance, Quan Jingting shook his head helplessly. In fact, this girl is also the master of curiosity and strong curiosity. If you are curious about the structure of something, you have to touch it yourself.

  The old lady looked at the two of them, turned around and handed Lian Yue a piece of paper, a picture book and scissors, "Little girl, follow the cutting above, be careful, don't hurt your hands."

   Quan Jingting stood behind her, watching Lian Yue's movements with low eyes, watching her honestly fold the paper in half as required, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth.

   "Be careful." Quan Jingting reminded.

   The woman who was just about to take off the scissors pushed him with her elbow, "Don't block my light."

   In fact, the word she learned is very simple, double happiness, so the lines are straight, not too difficult, she just cut it out according to the rules.

Quan Jingting looked sideways and saw a stall across the street selling candy people. The colorful faces were of different shapes. A couple stood in front of the stall. The girl pointed at a bird with colorful tails and didn't move. The boy was wearing A red coat, looking at her appearance, paid for the colorful bird. After the girl got it, she stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips, happily pulling him away.

   He picked up his steps and walked over, standing in front of the stall wondering if this woman likes all these things.

  Lian Yue lowered her head and cut her carefully, her lips pursed tightly, extra serious.

   "Little girl, you don't have to be so nervous. The important thing about paper-cutting is to feel it with your heart." The old lady looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

There are not a few little girls who come here to try paper-cutting, but they all come with a playful mentality. I have never seen such a serious girl. Looking at the picture book in front of her, the old lady turned around and looked over there who was buying noodles. The power of human beings.

   "Aren't you married yet?"

   She cut a happy character, so she was so serious.

   "The eighth day is our wedding." Lian Yue raised her head and smiled.

   The old lady understood and nodded with a smile, "You two have a very good relationship, and I'm sure you will be very happy in the future."

  Lian Yue put away the scissors, spread out the folded paper, two linked words of joy appeared in front of her, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

   "Finished?" Quan Jingting stood behind her.

  Lian Yue raised her head, turned her body and spread out the happy character, with the same expression as offering a treasure, "Look, I cut this, will you stick it on our window then?"

  Quan Jingting chuckled lightly and tapped her fingertips on the tip of her nose, "Okay."

   "The relationship between the two of you is enviable. This is for you. I wish you a happy wedding." The old lady said, spreading out the red paper she had been cutting just now.

  Lian Yue was stunned. In the drawing, Lian Yue was sitting at the table, focusing on the paper-cut in her hands. The man behind her leaned over and watched the movements of her hands. The two of them smiled.

   Although they are not exactly the same, they can distinguish the characteristics of the two.

   "Thank you." Lian Yue took it.

  The old lady nodded, found a transparent frame for her to frame the paper-cut, and put it in the bag.

   Quan Jingting took Lian Yue into the alley after paying the money.

   "Do you like this?" He said and took out the five-colored masked man he had bought.

   "This one is so pretty, too." Lian Yue took it and looked at the colorful bird with joy.

   "Is it edible?" She said and tasted it.

Quan Jingting pulled her to the end of the whole street. Standing by the river in the ancient town, she saw the lotus lanterns floating on the river. .

   "Are you done shopping, let's go back." Quan Jingting pulled her, carrying a few paper bags in his hands.

   "Yeah." Lian Yue replied while biting her face.

   Not far behind the two, Concubine Wen and the black cat stood there, the black cat was biting the candied haws just bought, and they crossed the stone bridge and went out of the ancient town.

   I didn't expect to meet you in this place. I originally wanted to tell the boss as soon as I came, but Concubine Wen stopped them and took Xiong Ni and a few others to start wandering around the imperial capital.

  I don't know why.

   "Aren't we going to go directly to the boss? What are you doing hiding?" Xiong Ni bought a pie and gnawed it in her hand.

When I saw the boss and Quan Jingting coming over just now, they were so frightened that they lost their souls. The biscuits she just bought fell to the ground. She bought another one now, because there are many people here to visit, otherwise If so, the boss would have discovered it long ago.

   "Wait, at least we have to find out what Mr. and Qin Zhong are going to do. We are wandering around in the past few days. You are responsible for watching the vicinity of the Quan Mansion, and pay attention to see if there are any suspicious people."

The wedding of Lian Yue and Quan Jingting is coming. Although she is not sure, she always thinks that the Qing family will do something at this juncture. Qin Zhong hides it from Lian Yue, although he knows that they will not hurt Lian Yue, but Concubine Wen couldn't let go.

   "I will pay attention to observe the movements of the Qing family." The black cat agreed.

   Xiong Ni swallowed the biscuits in her mouth, "Then should we pay attention to sir and commander?"

   Concubine Wen nodded. What she was most afraid of was that her husband would do something extreme. He didn't want to implicate Lianyue, so he kept investigating the Qing family behind Lianyue's back. It was because of his carefulness that Concubine Wen felt more uneasy.

   "Anyway, everyone pay attention, I always have a bad feeling."

  Hopefully, it was her illusion.
