Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin went to Tian's house to persuade them not to withdraw from their relatives, and the old man Tian was silent for a long time and sighed: "I know that General Xiao Zhong is a good person. However, he doesn't care about the word righteousness now, and he will care after a long time. ”

Jia Cong also sighed: "It's a lifelong event for Ling Ai, why don't you give it a try and back down?" In my opinion, without this, the two of them may not be able to love; This little thief has done a favor, and the two of them will definitely support each other until they are old in this life. ”

Old man Tian was stunned, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "Really? ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Zhong Heng originally had no mind for his children's private affairs. As you know, some men have their whole hearts in the barracks, and their daughters-in-law are just asked by the family to marry him, and Uncle Zhong is probably too lazy to marry a daughter-in-law if he doesn't manage him for him. Listening to Uncle Zhong, after he got married, he still thought about military training, and he didn't even have any ideas for his new daughter-in-law. Because of this, he suddenly felt that his daughter-in-law was bullied and pitied, and his whole person changed. I heard that your family was going to quit his family, but he refused to agree to death. The elderly, this is called no pinching and no pain. If there was no such thing, Ling Ai would just marry the identity of General Xiao Zhong; After this incident, Zhong Heng will pity her. I knew Zhong Heng when I was a child, and I knew that he had a very difficult time in the past. You don't know, he was only in his twenties at that time, and his face was full of weather, I thought he was in his thirties, and called him uncle. "He is a man who has endured hardships, and he knows how to pity life the most." ”

Old man Tian was in a trance, mixed with joy and sorrow, and recited the Buddha: "If this is the case, isn't there still hope for this family?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's the two of you who want to get married." But if your daughter is willing, Zhong Heng is willing, is there still a relationship that can't be married? Outsiders hate to tear him up so that he can marry his daughter to Zhong Heng, but Zhong Heng doesn't want to marry someone else. You see, why should you speak against the hearts of others? ”

Old man Tian nodded vigorously: "What Mr. said is true." For a while, he said sadly, "It's just my daughter......"

Chen Ruijin said: "I'll persuade her." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Please! ”

Old man Tian hurriedly called his wife again, and said apologetically: "The water hasn't boiled yet." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "We just came from the teahouse and drank a belly of tea." If the Zhong family didn't really want to get married, they wouldn't have to bother so much, right? ”

Old man Tian thought that it was reasonable, and when he was confident, his waist was straightened, and he said happily: "They still tell me every day that the Zhong family refuses to withdraw from their relatives just to look good, and they wish they could get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”

Jia Cong's brows moved, and he exchanged glances with Chen Ruijin. Mrs. Tian has already come, and her eyes are also gray and swollen from crying. Chen Ruijin followed her to the back room to see Miss Tian first. Jia Cong asked, "Old man, who is talking nonsense to you?" ”

Old man Tian looked at him pleasing to the eye, so he counted him one by one with his fingers: there are officials of the yamen, there are land guards, and there are gentlemen who write at the corner of the street. "Boss Zhang of Mingyue Restaurant also said that the Zhong family wanted to come to our house to withdraw from their relatives, but they didn't want us to talk about it first, so they pretended to be polite for a few days."

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "This restaurant owner is idle." I don't believe it to say that he didn't have the trust of others and deliberately chased you as a painter to tell this lie. Does he have a daughter at home? Or does he have a daughter from a relative family who wants to marry Zhong Heng? ”

Old man Tian was stunned: "Mr. is saying that Boss Zhang deliberately lied to me?" ”

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Isn't this clear?" The Zhong family never thought of quitting their relatives! Was the late birth sent by the Zhong family? ”

"Oops!" Old man Tian slapped his thigh, "I actually believed him!" Nai thought for a moment, "His family has only two sons, and no daughters." I was a foreigner, and I didn't have any relatives. ”

Jia Cong said "oh": "That's probably some important guest of his." "Or the government." I'll go back and find out...... Forget it, you don't have to ask. It's nothing more than wishing that you would break up in two so that you don't have to pay attention to it. Old man Tian nodded vigorously.

On the other end, Chen Ruijin went inside, and saw that Miss Tian was sitting in front of the shelf with tears and embroidery, and secretly agreed. He stepped forward and was blessed. Miss Tian hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and the two sat on the kang.

When Mrs. Tian went out to close the door, Chen Ruijin took her hand and said, "Until now, I won't hide it from the girl." When General Xiao Zhong was a teenager, he also encountered a female prostitute thief who picked flowers upside down, and he almost let the old female thief get his hands on it. ”

Miss Tian was shocked.

Chen Ruijin said: "He also tried his best to struggle and escape. Because of the deep fear, he struggled to practice martial arts to defend himself. Later, I was depressed and unwilling to marry a wife, and when I mentioned the woman, I thought of the female thief. Your relatives are Uncle Zhong, who really saw that he was old and forced him to agree. Now, he is really willing to get married. Miss Tian, most of the men in the world may dislike you, but he won't. And he respects you deeply, for he knows how difficult it is to escape from the flower thief. ”

It took a long time for Miss Tian to come back to her senses, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Really?" ”

Chen Ruijin smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. I am also close to the Zhong family, so why do I need to talk to you about such a thing. Miss Tian asked Ling Zun to know. Was it Uncle Zhong who did this at first? Does Zhong Heng have any interest in himself? Now that you want to withdraw from your family, Uncle Zhong has no idea, and General Zhong is determined not to retreat. ”

Miss Tian's face gradually brightened, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Chen Ruijin said again: "If you let him marry a woman next to him, won't he dislike you?" He dislikes you as he dislikes himself. In his early years, after escaping from the female thief, he was so frightened that he did not dare to go home, and wandered alone in the green forest for more than ten years. He is also a hard-working person, and he hopes that the girl will take care of him more in the future, so as not to make him feel that all the women in the world are female flower thieves with yellow teeth. ”

Miss Tian couldn't help but blush and lowered her head. After a while, he said, "Thank you, sister." ”

Chen Ruijin nodded and left. As soon as she went out with her front feet, Miss Tian ran to the desk to open the makeup box and take out the rhombic glasses, and opened her mouth to take a picture for a long time - her teeth were as white as jade! Fang let out a sigh. After a while, I took it again; I'll take it again after a while.

Outside, the old couple of the Tian family sent Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin out, and turned back to the house to see their daughter, Miss Tian hurriedly asked: "Father, mother, do you see my teeth yellow?" ”

The old couple was stunned, and Mrs. Tian said, "Why are your teeth yellow?" It's been very white since I was a child. ”

Miss Tian pinched the mirror in the palm of her hand, stroked her chest and laughed. Although the old couple didn't know what she was asking for teeth, when they saw the girl smiling, the clouds of the day were gone, and they chanted the Buddha in unison.

On the other end, the two returned to the teahouse, and bumped into Liu Shu sitting at the table at the door drinking tea. Jia Cong rolled his eyes. Liu Shu shook his head and said, "Yuezhi Teahouse has a lot of reputation. Nai looked at him and said, "When did you change into such clothes?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I changed it in the teahouse." You can't go to someone else's house to talk about family affairs like a young master. ”

Liu Shu wrinkled his nose and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Three aunts and six mothers-in-law." As a young master, I don't look at what other people do in business, and I only worry about trivial matters in the market. "Pick up your feet and go inside. Liu Shu cheekily followed.

When he got inside, Shi Li had already returned, talking to Zhong Wei and a few old guys, and he rolled his eyes when he saw Liu Shu come in. Liu Shu smiled with a smile on his face: "Everyone, you are polite!" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he laughed again, "I, an outsider, came in by myself." ”

Jia Cong looked at the people in the room, couldn't help laughing, and patted Liu Shu: "I was also an outsider a few days ago. "Except for the two of us, the rest are Liu Dengxi's people. Nai acquiesced to Liu Shu's observation, and asked Shi Lidao, "What did you hear?" ”

Shi Li said: "There are countless theories in the market, all of which are rumors, and there is no brain. Therefore, there are about no two of them, and the Tian family is the only one who suffers. ”

Jia Cong snorted: "I guess it is! Those two families were under the guise of letting off steam, and this matter was going to calculate Brother Zhong's personal affairs from the beginning. ”

Shi Li said: "It's just that even if Brother Zhong doesn't marry the Tian family, will he marry the calculating family?" ”

Jia Cong said: "At first, they didn't know what kind of daughter-in-law the Zhong family wanted; Now that I know, it's always okay to draw a scoop with a gourd. "I can roughly guess who is behind me." Turning his head and asking Zhong Wei, "The owner of the Green Forest Village that Brother Zhong followed in the past, let someone go to him." ”

Zhong Wei was taken aback: "Do you suspect it's him?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not doubt, it's affirmation." There are many people who have Zhong Heng's idea, and there are only two who are willing to make great efforts to dig him up. The owner of the water village, and the old lady. Zhong Wei nodded. He continued, "Old lady, if you say it's good, it's cunning, but if it's bad, it's not domineering." He likes to do some secret actions, such as asking the husband who catches and helps people write letters to say some unpleasant things in the ear of the old man of the Tian family, and provokes the Tian family to withdraw from the marriage. Directly looking for a flower thief to break through the window is not the way of the old lady, but the way of the owner of the village. ”

Zhong Wei frowned and said: "I have already found out about the details, but I haven't seen what he has done, and he doesn't believe it when he says it to Heng'er." The owner of the village is also a man with a face, and he actually made this plan. ”

Jia Cong said: "No matter how head and face you are, you are also the leader of the Green Forest bandits, okay?" This plan may not have been thought up by himself, maybe it was who he thought of? His mind is probably on the promising bandit career. Moreover, because there are many girls in the old lady's family, and it is unlikely that they are a small family like Tian's Jasper, so if his family wants to seek Zhong Heng as a son-in-law, they can only try to make Zhong Heng fall in love with the girls in his family. Otherwise, even if your family and the Tian family quit their relatives, the next one will not be their family. The owner of the water village can find a suitable woman according to Tian's mold. Zhong Heng used to be his subordinate, and he knew a lot of people about him, so he casually introduced an easy tight who 'knew the roots'. ”

Shi Li asked: "Who went to the street and said that the Zhong family was going to quit their relatives?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The one who ruined the face of the Zhong family definitely didn't want to marry the Zhong family. Uncle Zhong, have you ever offended anyone? ”

Zhong Wei thought for a while: "Although the teahouse is prosperous, it is not so prosperous that it makes my peers jealous. Could it be Dudequ? ”

"Possibly." Jia Cong thought for a while, "Eighty percent is him." Ah Hei turned around and scared Boss Zhang of Mingyue Tower to see if it was. ”

Shi Li nodded and said with a smile: "Zhong Heng has become a fragrant bait. ”

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Okay." Let's sort it out. Now it is a pity that Brother Fang Nianzhong, the owner of the water village, regrets letting him go. Because he knew that he valued his affection, he wanted to arrange a daughter-in-law to tie him up so that he could coax him back to work for him in the future. Then he ordered people to spread two rumors around, saying that there were flower thieves in Luzhou, and the girls of the Zhang family in the east of the city and the girls of the Li family in the south of the city were all in trouble. There are so many people surnamed Zhang and Li in the world, and everyone is hearsay. Then he really sent someone to pretend to be a flower thief to destroy the Tian clan. The old lady heard about it, and took the opportunity to buy many people to get the Tian family to quit their relatives. When Du Dequ heard about it, he took the opportunity to buy off many people all over the street to slander Zhong Heng and dislike the Tian family for not being faithful. That's pretty much it. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "That's roughly the case. ”

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Then let's wait." ”

After waiting for a moment and no one spoke, Liu Shu asked with great interest, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "It's still Brother Liu who gives face." Wait for Zhong Heng to catch the flower thief himself. ”

Liu Shu said again: "How did he catch it?" ”

Jia Cong stretched: "How do I know!" I'm not him. Liu Shu was immediately deflated. Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "Okay, we should go back to the inn." ”

Liu Shu looked at the people in the room and whispered, "Don't you want to introduce me?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The owner and guy of the teahouse don't do a business with your family. But he stood up. Liu Shu had no choice but to follow, and looked back a few times.

In the evening, Shi Li went to the teahouse again and chased Zhong Heng for a long time.

It turned out that Zhong Wei told Zhong Heng that day that a certain person he brought out from the cottage was a spy sent by Shui Rong, although Zhong Heng didn't believe it, he secretly remembered that person in his heart. As soon as Tian's incident came out, the man was indignant, and he asked Zhong Heng to withdraw from the marriage earlier and find another good woman. Zhong Heng gave him a try, pretending that a good woman is rare. The man really patted his chest and said, "Brother knows a good family, help you go!" Only then did Zhong Heng believe what his uncle said. It's just that he has had a friendship with that man for many years after all, and he refuses to tear his face to judge him, but only tries to talk about it, trying to find out who the flower thief is.

Shi Li said: "Look at your appearance, you haven't come out yet." Zhong Heng shook his head. Shi Li said with a smile, "You have a specialization in the art industry, and you are not as good as me in the ability to talk about it." I'll do it for you. ”

Zhong Heng thought about it, so he told him the person's name, surname, and location. Shi Li wrote it down and pulled the horse away.

Shi Li has followed Jia Yu and Mu Xu since he was a child, interrogating the prisoners and recruiting them, where can he make a joke? The man was still carrying it at first, but he couldn't carry it after three or four routines. It turned out that Shui Rong ordered the selection of a woman from a good family in Luzhou, abducted her confused brother to become a mountain bandit, and prepared to let this person pretend to be a distant cousin of the woman and stuff the woman to Zhong Heng. This is the man who pretends to be a flower thief. Shi Li shook his head: "Brother's woman, you can do it if you lose." The man turned red and refused to speak. Shi Li wanted to take him straight to the teahouse to show Zhong Heng, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, but locked him in his own home, and went back to the inn alone to discuss with Jia Cong and others.

Jia Cong couldn't help but be worried: "It's not easy to do." If you don't tell Zhong Heng, then the flower thief will have no result. Sue him, Zhong Heng is afraid that he will not be able to kill him, and he will be sorry for his daughter-in-law if he does not kill him. ”

Shi Li said: "Ignoring his daughter-in-law is still reluctant to kill?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The daughter-in-law hasn't seen it yet, my brother has been playing in one place for many years, and he is in a dilemma." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "He is in a dilemma, but we are not in a dilemma." This person will die, and Zhong Heng's family can't be allowed to have a handle on his hands. ”

Shi Li said: "In this case, let him commit suicide in fear of sin." ”

Jia Cong's eyes lit up: "Brother, good way!" Shi Li snorted proudly and left again without any effort.

That night, one of General Xiao Zhong's personal soldiers committed suicide by hanging a beam, leaving three crooked words on the table: I'm sorry. This person originally couldn't write, and he learned it after coming to Luzhou. What else did Zhong Heng not understand? With a long sigh, he led the people to be buried alive. When the brothers asked, he only shook his head and said nothing.

Shi Li and others went out with the news, only saying that this person saw that Zhong Heng's fiancée had an accident, and he set a trap for Zhong Heng and wanted him to marry his own sister, but he didn't want Zhong Heng to be unsuccessful! This person felt that he had no face to see his friend, and he committed suicide in shame. A few days later, the prefect of Luzhou found a death row prisoner in the prison and killed him, only saying that he had taken the flower thief to calm the people's hearts. and said that the thief did not enter Miss Tian's boudoir that day, and accidentally hit a shelf at the door, which alarmed the Tian family. Jia Cong and Shi Li worked together to arrange many jokes and spread them, some of which became more realistic and bizarre. The matter was settled, regardless of whether the people in the market believed it or not.

Seeing that the matter had settled down, Zhong Heng quietly went to Yuantongguan to repay his vows on this day, and walked around with respect for Sanqing, and finally flashed into the back of a rockery behind the temple. There was a female crown standing with her hands in her hands, and she had been waiting for a long time.

He hugged his fist at the female crown and said: "The fairy girl loves her, and the last general will not dare to take it." The last general has a marriage contract, and it is inconvenient to meet the fairy girl again. ”

"Good, good. After waiting for three months, it turned out to be such a sentence. The female crown turned her head and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm willing to be small...... What are you, what are you made of?! ”

Zhong Heng shook his head and said, "If that doesn't happen, you and I still have a way...... The status of the fairy girl is too high. If you are small, will she still be able to live in peace? He turned and strode away.

The female crown shouted with hatred behind her: "You will regret it in the future!" Zhong Heng paused, and finally didn't turn around.
