Chapter Fifty-Three: Encounters Are Not Even
This night, Qin Zhihong was drinking tea and reading a book in his house, preparing for the lesson he was going to teach Ming'er tomorrow, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the house, and then a group of people walked by, and some people shouted: "Give her to the eldest prince for interrogation, and you will know when you ask!" β
Qin Zhihong couldn't help but wonder, was there something wrong with such a mess, was it because his cousin didn't notify him in advance? It's impossible, my cousin said that I would only do it in June, and it's only March now, but just now someone was really caught outside, and I was in a panic at this time, so I hurriedly picked up my shoes and went out to follow.
When he arrived at the hall, as soon as the cadre took off the cloth bag that was tied up on his head, Qin Zhihong saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be Lian'er! How did he get here? Didn't I say let her wait at the inn? How did he run out and get caught by them!
Qin Zhihong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran towards the hall.
Above the hall, everyone reported to the old man Chai who was sitting on the upper seat and the eldest prince Chai Wanjun on the side: "Master, young master, this is a woman we just caught in the courtyard, this woman is really good at kung fu, after climbing over the wall and coming in, we found out, so there was a fight, he also injured our two brothers, and brought it over for you to interrogate." β
The eldest prince spoke first: "Take out the things in her mouth for her, I have something to ask her." β
So a family member walked up to Lian'er and removed the cloth from her mouth, Qin Zhihong had not entered the door at this time, and hurriedly shouted:
"Misunderstanding, master, childe, this is a misunderstanding!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly turned around and looked outside the hall, and it turned out to be Qin Gongzi, so they all got out of the way and let him come forward. Qin Zhihong took a few breaths after coming in, looked at Lian'er, and Lian'er also saw that it was Qin Zhihong, and couldn't help but look happy, and said:
"Zhihong, it's you, it's really you!"
Qin Zhihong shouted this sentence just now, because he was afraid that Lian'er would say that he would pout baldly, so he hurriedly interrupted Chai Wanjun's interrogation and shouted out. Qin Zhihong hurriedly said to Lian'er: "Lady, don't talk yet, I'll tell the master and the son." β
So Qin Zhihong turned his head, gave Old Man Chai and Young Master Chai a look, and said:
"Master, son, this is a misunderstanding, and I blame it for revealing the article, and I forgot nothing to see my wife."
At this time, the father and son in the hall were also puzzled when they saw this, and they were about to listen to Qin Zhihong's explanation, but they didn't interject, Qin Zhihong continued:
"I and the cheap, that is, this girl's name is Lian'er, together from the hometown to flee, want to go to the relatives in other places, on the way to live by practicing medicine, this is not a treasure land, found that the medicine box is not much medicine, I have to go to the town to buy some medicinal materials, so I asked my wife to let him wait for me in the hotel, one day to return. I didn't want to take a shortcut, but I accidentally saw the list text, so I uncovered the list text to treat my wife and won the favor of the master, let me be your little son's teacher, and forget about it. It's the second night, and I wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't brought my lady here. β
Hearing Qin Zhihong say this, the people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, so Qin Zhihong continued: "I went out for a walk at night, and when I saw the noise outside, I came over to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet the lady." Tell me, lady, what's going on in the past two days. β
Lian'er couldn't help crying, it wasn't all acting, I saw Lian'er with tears in her eyes and said: "You said you would come back one day, but I won't see you come back until the next morning, so I'm worried about you and went out to look for you." β
Lian'er sobbed a few times, and then said: "I know that you are coming to the west, so I came all the way to the west, and I just heard that there is a big family in this Chaijiawa who has been exposed for medical treatment, so I thought it was you, so I wanted to inquire about it, but the porter didn't let me in at all, so I waited for it to get dark and came in over the wall......"
Qin Zhihong immediately gave Old Man Chai and Chai Wanjun another look, and said: "I'm really sorry, my lady has liked to catch birds in trees and fish in the river since she was a child, and she learned a few hands from his father, that is, my father-in-law, so don't you come to me......"
"Hahahaha!" Old Man Chai couldn't help laughing, and said: "Sure enough, it's a loving couple, Qin Gongzi, I blame you for not notifying in advance, even if you don't have time to go, you can let me send someone to go." β
"Yes, yes, I was negligent." Qin Zhihong said.
Lian'er had already stopped crying, and said: "It's not just negligence, let me stay in the hotel for two days, it's damned, see if I go back and don't clean you up!" β
Everyone also laughed, but Qin Zhihong smiled bitterly, thinking, do you think it's just a joke to clean up this time! But I can't help it, so I have to laugh.
But the eldest prince Chai Wanjun was skeptical and said: "So, you are husband and wife, so where do you live?" β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and Qin Zhihong said: "It's a hotel on Qianzhuangwai Avenue, I was about to go back to pick up my things, and I won't tell you that my doctor is still in the hotel." β
Qin Zhihong knew that Chai Wanjun was already suspicious, so he continued: "Otherwise, I'll go back and get it, these buddies will go back with me, and you will know when you ask the boss when you get there." β
Chai Wanjun immediately smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Qin, look at what you said, how could I not believe you, you cured my mother-in-law's illness, I am grateful, how dare I doubt you, it's just that our village is located in the mountains, and there are often bandits who are worried, so it is also out of habit, so I asked this, don't be surprised." β
Qin Zhihong saw Chai Wanjun say this, and immediately said: "This is as it should be, but this black light is blinding, I still don't know the road when walking in the mountains, and I am also afraid, so Lian'er let her wait in my house, or hope to find a few brothers to go with me to get it, one is to lead the way, and the other is to be a companion." β
Chai Wanjun saw that Qin Zhihong took the initiative to ask for this, and thought to himself that he had misunderstood him just now, so he was a little embarrassed, so he said: "Why not, let me let the two family members accompany you, just now, Brother Qin, you must be Haihan." β
Qin Zhihong didn't answer, he made a gesture to Old Man Chai and Chai Wanjun, and led Lian'er back to his house, and after a while, Chai Wanjun came over with a few maids, gave Lian'er a few clothes, and said:
"I offended just now, I'm really embarrassed, this is the clothes made by the family for ** milk, I haven't worn it yet, I think the figure is still about the same, so I sent it to my younger siblings, these two family members I found to accompany you to the hotel, one of them is the concierge who brought you in yesterday, you also know it, let him show you the way."
Qin Zhihong really couldn't help it, and he was grateful in his heart. After Chai Gongzi finished delivering the things, he left, and Qin Zhihong went to the hotel with the two family members to check out the money and get the things back.
chatting on the way, I learned that the porter surnamed Shan who took him into Chai Mansion yesterday has no big name, and outsiders call him Xiao Danzi, but the old man of the Chai family gave him a big name, called Shan Wanzhao, and he is also the same generation as Gongzi. Xiao Danzi is also alert, his father sent him to the Chai family to work in his early tens, and now he is in his early twenties.
After a while, Qin Zhihong took back his medicine gourd, string bells and disguises, and also settled the account with the store, and then came back to meet Lian'er.
And when Lian'er saw that Qin Zhihong was back, she went up and grabbed Qin Zhihong's braid and said:
"Why don't you care about me, just live here alone?"
Qin Zhihong also said eloquently: "How can I be, didn't I say it all, it was to treat Mrs. Chai's family, but you also know that it naturally takes time to treat the disease, and the Chai family is also afraid that I am a charlatan, so they will not let me come back, I have to wait until my condition improves, otherwise I will not be able to get out of the Chai family." Fortunately, their wife's condition is getting better today, and I was about to go back to look for you, but you secretly found it yourself. β
Lian'er saw that what Qin Zhihong said was reasonable, so she didn't care anymore, but she was still unwilling, so she said: "Okay, I believe you for the time being, but I see that the house you live in is much better than the hotel, and you have enjoyed the whole night last night, so tonight, I want to sleep in the bed, you have to sleep underground!" β
Qin Zhihong hurriedly retorted: "No, why? β
Lian'er immediately raised her arms, and then clenched her fists fiercely, Qin Zhihong hurriedly said: "You still said that you listened to me on the road, but now you always come to bully me......
Lian'er smiled proudly and said: "How can I not listen to you, you said that you will come back in one day, I waited for two days and one night in the hostel but did not see you, people are in a hurry to die, what's wrong with sleeping with you in bed for one night?" Besides, letting you sleep on the ground is also a punishment for you, sue sΓΉ that you are not allowed to leave me alone in the future! β
When Qin Zhihong heard this, he couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking that Lian'er didn't know how worried he was in the hotel, at this moment, he felt that he was willing to be punished by Lian'er, and he felt that Lian'er's warmth was infinite, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.
The two of them lay down, but they didn't fall asleep quickly, as if after this day and night, they suddenly had a lot to say, so Qin Zhihong told Lian'er what happened in the past two days, and also discussed how to start with Chai Jiawa in the next step, and further inquire about the specific situation of Qianzhuang and Houyan, and how to help Uncle Cousin take down Xujialou and the Hedong Turtle Church in the east.
Soon, the Chai family's ** milk's illness was cured, and the Chai family's father and son were naturally grateful to Dade, treating Zhihong and Lian'er as guests, and also vacated a shop as promised for Qin Zhihong and Lian'er to operate here, and at the same time taught the little son Ming'er to read. After this incident, Qin Zhihong became famous, and the neighboring Shangzhuang and Houyan also knew about it, and many people came to him for medical treatment, which made Qin Zhihong very busy, and his wealth was extensive, and he was a little famous in the area of Xujialou.
However, Qin Zhihong and Lian'er have also been taking the opportunity to inquire about the specific situation of each village, observe the topography and roads of various places, and draw sketches to make records.
One day, after dinner, Qin Zhihong asked Lian'er to ask her to accompany her out for a walk, and Lian'er was inexplicable, but she didn't refuse, and then came out.
The two have been walking in the well pond at the edge of the village, which is the lowest place in Chaijiawa, and there are many village girls who wash here to chat and wash clothes during the day. Next to it is a well, on which there is a roller hanging in the air, in fact, who is on the surface of the well, as long as the bucket is put into the well to fill the water directly, it seems that the purpose of setting up a roller is to prevent the water level from falling in the dry season and cannot take water.
The two walked and talked, and when they were tired, they sat down in a clearing in the forest on the western slope, and while they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming. So the two of them looked at each other, and at the same time remained silent, and lowered themselves to hide in the grass behind the trees.
When the man came to the woods, he stopped, and in a few moments the footsteps of another man came nearer, and at last he also stopped, and heard only one man say:
"You've suffered these days."
As soon as Qin Zhihong heard it, he could hear that it was Chai Wanjun's voice, and only heard another one reply: "I said it all, it's my own choice......"
As soon as Qin Zhihong heard it, he knew that it was the voice of the ** milk he had given to the patient.
I heard Chai Wanjun say again: "Then why did you choose to marry my father in the first place?" β
Milk sighed and replied, "Do you think I'm willing?" At the beginning, your father also came to JN Mansion, I didn't know it was your father at the time, and I fell in love with each other at first sight after I met you, you also told me that you are the son of Xujialou Chai Jiawa, I am afraid that your father will not agree to you marry me this Hongchen woman, let me wait for a period of time to save enough money will come to redeem my body, I waited left and right, and finally heard the eldest lady tell me that there is a noble man from Chai Jiawa who wants to spend a lot of money to buy me away, I was also full of joy at the time, thinking that you finally did not fail me, and finally came to me. But who would have thought ......"
"But who would have thought that my father, the old fellow, would be one step ahead!" Chai Wanjun said hatefully: "Jade, I originally wanted you to be my wife, but now I have become my mother!" You know the moment I saw you, it was a thunderbolt! β
I only heard the ** milk named "Jade" say again: "Am I not?" I am sick when I see that old guy now, in fact, although my illness was seen by the doctor, and it has not been cured for a long time, it is fundamentally caused by a very bad mood and lovesickness all day long. β
After Chai Wanjun heard this, he said hatefully: "Can we only appoint like this?" β
"Then what's the solution, now that I'm your mother-in-law, even if I still think about you every day, don't I can't eat it?" Emerald said slightly teasingly.
Chai Wanjun also immediately said: "My father and I are both bishops of foreigners who opened churches here, and foreign religions don't see it that way, many cousins and sisters can get married, and besides, foreigners are monogamous, unlike my father, my mother died and married you and grandma." β
As mentioned earlier, because the old man Chai's wife died early, he continued to string the Wu family, and the Wu family is also the wife, so she is still called the big grandmother, and the jade is naturally the first milk.
Suddenly, Chai Wanjun's fierce light appeared, and he said in a low voice: "It's better to do nothing, let's send my father on the road in advance!" β
Jade listened and said coldly: "He's your father!" Do you dare to do that? β
