Chapter Twenty-Four: Many Hearts
In Dou Qi's house, the shopkeeper hurriedly entered, followed by a man, who was chasing Li Dasco's daughter-in-law in Taipingju.
The Dou family's house is in Doujiazhuang, since the restaurant opened to the capital, Dou Qi added a four-entry house near Beijing, and lived in it with two outer rooms.
When the shopkeeper and the man walked into the hall where the guests were entertained, Dou Qizheng was impatient.
"How?" He asked.
The man shook his head and pushed a title deed over.
Dou Qi snorted.
"I don't know what to do." He cursed, waving his hand.
The man hurriedly withdrew.
The maidservant girl in the house also retreated after pouring tea, leaving only the two of them to talk.
"That's an elm pimple." The shopkeeper said, "I followed the old lady wholeheartedly, but now I treat others as reborn parents, and I refuse to leave." ”
Dou Qi snorted again.
"Shame on the face." He said, his face gloomy.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a small guy ran in.
"Shichiro-kun." He knelt down under the porch, with a little trepidation, "Zhu Wu said that Wang Da and they were beaten out!" ”
Dou Qi and the shopkeeper's faces were stunned.
“…… Wang Da said, what about the good thugs raised by Taiping, they are not opponents, and said..."The little guy continued.
Having said this, Dou Qi couldn't bear his temper anymore and overturned the few in front of him.
The little guy shuddered and stopped.
"What else?" Dou Qi asked with a glaring eye.
He also said that it was the person in charge who didn't tell them, so they missed so much, so. So let me pay for some soup or shout out..."The little guy lowered his head and said in one breath.
Sure enough. After saying this. One was smashed out and rolled down in the yard.
"Get out." Dou Qi scolded.
The little guy turned around and ran, but was stopped by the shopkeeper again.
"The owner, if you don't get rid of these splashes, they will cause trouble." He persuaded.
Dou Qi got up angrily and walked back and forth in the room.
"You actually raised a good thug? A few little outsiders, and they have no relatives to rely on, who is afraid that he will not succeed? He said, gesturing his hand. Take more money and tell Zhu Wu that those splashes have blown big in the past, and this time they have smashed their faces, saying that they are good thugs and will shirk the past, so that people will look at them as cowards. ”
The shopkeeper hesitated.
"Is it a big deal?" He asked, "I don't know what other backers this Taiping Ju has, and I can't inquire about anything else, but the words hanging in front of the door are said to have been written by very powerful people." ”
Dou Qi sneered.
"What about a literati who writes a few words?" He said. "Even if he has a backer, others don't? Again. Isn't it just a few splashy troubles and a fight, what is it? ”
The shopkeeper was a little puzzled.
If it's nothing, then what's it for?
"If something happens, get it to the official office, let them learn a long lesson." Dou Qi sneered and said, "If there is a relationship behind him, even if they have a big life, just suffer some hardships and some crimes, by the way, just see what the relationship is, if there is no relationship..."
Speaking of this, the smile on Dou Qi's face became even more gloomy.
"Send them to the leper Cai." He said.
Cai, a well-known jailer in Beijing, walked around under him no less than before the ghost gate closed, and there were as many as a hundred ways to let you die quietly and silently.
Find an opportunity to send this bold foreigner in, as for whether he can come out or not, it is all in his hands in Dou Qi's hands.
All this doesn't even need to ask Grandpa Gan to come forward, he Dou Qi can operate alone.
"Rely on my Dou family's feng shui to make a fortune! It's not that easy! He snorted, sitting down.
In this way, maybe he can get this place back by the way this time....
Dou Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his breathing was a little short.
Liuliulang and Qin Shisan returned home after eating vegetarian food, and were called by Mrs. Zhou as soon as they entered the door.
There were also two servant women in the room who were sitting and talking, looking dusty.
"....I met the master on the way, and the master asked us to report safety to my wife." They laughed.
Is it the person my father brought to Jiangzhou? Why did you come back so soon?
Saturday sat down and listened.
Mrs. Zhou also ignored him for the time being, but was busy inquiring about Master Zhou, and only when she heard that the complexion of eating and drinking was good, she was relieved.
"We have also asked about Cheng Niangzi these days."
Liuliulang, who was about to speak, suddenly stopped when he heard the servant's words.
Her business?
"How?" Mrs. Zhou asked casually, since she drove the woman out of the city, the life of the family has returned to normal, and she is no longer as nervous as in the previous paragraph.
"Just as Madame guessed, there was a lot of trouble at home before I was kicked out," the servant woman laughed.
Mrs. Zhou smiled.
"I know the way." She said, while raising her hand to stop the servant, "Don't talk about her, I don't bother to care, it's rare to be calm, you are also tired, go down." ”
The servant woman put away her talk, hurriedly responded, and said goodbye.
Liuliulang withdrew his gaze from the servant.
"Mother, what are you looking for from me?" He asked.
"I heard Qi Niang say, what do you say that Taipingju is Jiaojiao'er?" Mrs. Zhou asked.
"I didn't say that." Liuliulang said, grinning, "Qi Niang heard it wrong, I mean..."
He hesitated and bowed his head slightly.
“… Take her to Taipingju to try it," he said.
Seeing her son's unsightly appearance, Mrs. Zhou was angry and annoyed.
"You dare! Break your legs! She shouted.
Liuliulang lowered his head and muffled himself to stop talking.
"Go, go, go." Mrs. Zhou said angrily, she didn't have the heart to ask who the Taiping Residence belonged to.
Liuliulang withdrew, walked slowly, thoughtfully, and finally stopped.
Qin 13 set up the chessboard in the hall of Liuliulang and played chess with the two maidservants, and ignored him when he came in, until the two servant women knelt down in the room.
"Let's talk about it." Saturday Lang said.
The servant woman replied.
"The slave and maid from there... The day the lady entered the door? She asked.
Qin Shisan raised his head and looked at the two servants, a little puzzled.
"It was evening. The lady walked across the river bridge to the north. At that time, there were many people washing clothes in the river under the bridge. They remembered the lady's description, walking slowly, as if she was weak..."
Accompanied by the servant's narration, Liuliulang on the side seemed to see the scene at that time, and in the dark night, a woman slowly stood in front of the door of Cheng's house, raised her head and looked at the words on the door plaque.
She's home.
At that time, the second master Cheng and the second lady Cheng fought in the house of the second master Cheng... Although I tried to hide it, many people still heard it. The slave maid spent five dollars to find out from the mouth of Mrs. Cheng's mother, who was on an errand in front of her..."
Hearing this, the maidservant girl in the room who was still playing chess with Qin Thirteen couldn't help but laugh.
"It's really poor, the master is poor, and the subordinates are also poor, so dare to sell it for five dollars." She said.
The servant woman laughed too.
"It's not that I'm greedy for money." She said, "Speaking of which, that mother also deliberately wants to say what happened, this Cheng family's concubine...... Disagreement. ”
"Oh?" The maid couldn't care about playing chess, and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you don't have a family?" How can the wife of the house not match? ”
Speaking of which. This is also related to the lady. The servant woman laughed.
"It's a joke, she's a fool. It's time to take care of their elders. Liuliulang snorted and said, "The Cheng family is really useless, this kind of thing is easy to say!" ”
"Sixth son, when the lady came home, because she was sick, she ate and drank better, and the children in the family complained first...... the servant woman hurriedly continued.
Sitting in the hall, the two servants, you say a word, I say a word, and add oil and vinegar.
Qin Shisan slowly changed from casual to contemplative.
In fact, there is not much to talk about, one of which is experienced by Liuliulang himself, and soon the servant woman finished speaking.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Liu Liulang and Qin Shisan seemed to be distracted.
The two servant women glanced at each other, and they didn't know what was important about the trivial things they talked about about eating and drinking by the maids and maids, which made the son value it so much.
It seems that the matter of the sixth prince and that Cheng Jiaoniang who just entered the door is not a rumor from everyone, and only those who have a heart will take everything to heart.
"Go down." Saturday Lang said.
The servant woman was busy giving gifts, and when she thought of something, she pushed out a small box from behind her.
Saturday Lang looked over.
"This is a famous dim sum in Jiangzhou." The servant woman laughed and said, "We specially sold some back, and asked the son to try it." ”
Liuliulang reached out and took it, looking at the three words "Xuanmiaoguan" on the small box.
"Mystic view?" He read.
"Yes, yes, this is the Taoist temple with the most incense in Jiangzhou today, but it has worked, and it is a good vegetarian dim sum..."The servant woman said enthusiastically.
Before she finished her words, Qin Shisan spoke.
"Then ...... the mystical view where Cheng Niangzi went?" He asked.
"Oh, Cheng Niangzi went to the small Xuan Miao Temple, which was the Cheng family's property, and was later burned by the thunder fire, so it was handed over to the big Xuan Miao Temple under the mountain, so the Xiao Xuan Miao Temple is gone, and everyone only calls it Xuan Miao Temple now." The servant woman said.
Saturday Lang was silent for a moment.
"Go down." He said.
And the servant woman withdrew, and the maidservant of the house withdrew.
Liu Liulang looked at the small box in front of him, and Qin Shisan also looked at it.
"Mysterious," he said, "Taiping..."
"You're saying this is also caused by her?" Saturday asked suddenly.
"Maybe." Qin Shisan smiled, "I don't know what to do. ”
Speaking of this, his face became contemplative.
"But I know that this sister of your family is really unprovoked." He said.
Saturday Lang looked at him.
Qin Shisanlang stretched out his hand.
"At least two lives." He said, "If there are still dead and wounded in the two servant women and maidservants who were sold, it will be even more." ”
Liuliulang's face was tense and his brows were deep.
"What are you talking nonsense?" He said, "What does she have to do with human life?" That's thunderfire! Act of God! What does she want someone else's life to do! ”
Qin Shisan looked at him and was silent for a moment.
"Yes, yes, I'm really getting more and more cradled, and what kind of nonsense I think about." He said with a smile, reaching out for the small box, "I'll taste this mystery." ”
When night fell, Xu Maoxiu, Fan Jianglin and Xu Bangmao sat in the house of Yudaiqiao.
"These splashes are so bold!" When the maidservant heard this, she was anxious and angry, and shouted, "Lady, I'll go and tell the old lady." ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at her and smiled slightly.
"These splashes, where to use the old lady of labor." She said.
