Chapter 030: Acting
In the Liujiatang house, the side doors are opened on the left and right, the right door enters the bedroom of Liu Cheng's parents, and the left door enters a small hall, which is usually used for ordinary patient examinations. Connected to the left of this small hall is the place where Liu Chengping administers needles, which is a simple operating room. And through the flower wall screen of this small hall into the backyard. In the backyard, medicinal herbs are usually dried, and there are three rooms on the left and right sides of the main house, which are all places for recuperation and observation of seriously ill patients.
Chen Qiuniang entered the small hall, and the young man in the strong suit stood up, bowed slightly to her, pointed to the operating room where the building was built, and said, "Girl, go this way." β
"Big brother is such a big gift, I'm a country girl, I'm really scared." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly returned the gift.
This man's behavior really startled her. Although the man himself is a man of etiquette, in this day and age he does this to a little girl, unless the little girl is of extremely high status, or has excellent virtue, or has great favor to the other party.
"Girl, don't be modest, you know that you can afford Jiang's gift." The man smiled and gestured very politely.
Chen Qiuniang heard that the other party was straight to the point, and the implication was that she risked her life to go to Liuhe Town to inform Zhangfu to save Zhang Ci, which was really a great favor to Zhangfu. She pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Jiang, you tortured me, but it was just a matter of boiling porridge and steaming vegetables." β
The man still had a smile on his face, looking at her meaningfully. Chen Qiuniang's acting skills are naturally good, so she changed the topic innocently and asked, "May I ask Brother Jiang, where are these ingredients?" β
"The ingredients are not in a hurry, please ask the girl to follow me to the back room first, my second son wants to see you." The man didn't beat around the bush, let alone who his second son was, he still had a calm tone and a warm smile.
"Although I am a girl, but the defense of men and women is to be guarded, it is late, I think it is inconvenient to go to the back room, besides, I don't know your second son. Please also ask Jiang Gongzi to tell me where the ingredients are. Chen Qiuniang gave a slight salute, and the children's voice was crisp.
Chen Qiuniang pretended to be so forceful and politely refused Zhang Ci's summons. Because she has her own plans: she is scheming, just to see Zhang Ci, to hang her kindness to him between each other, and let him take the initiative to repay, then she is in an advantageous position. But this matter can't be in a hurry, otherwise it will lose its style and annoy people in vain, so the life-saving grace to him who gambled his life back this time is only worth dozens of taels of silver.
Therefore, she rejected the invitation of the man surnamed Jiang.
"Zhangfu's etiquette and upbringing are famous for a hundred miles, and they will not let the girl bear the notoriety. And my second son-in-law is an old acquaintance of the girl, and now he is sick, and he really wants to see the girl. The man surnamed Jiang spoke softly, and his expression was not in a hurry. Chen Qiuniang secretly sighed that this man is young, his appearance, martial arts, recuperation, and wisdom are good, and he is also a dragon and phoenix among people. Zhang's house is indeed a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden.
"Old knowledge?" Chen Qiuniang pretended to be surprised, then thoughtful, shook her head slightly, and said, "I am a country girl, I also know etiquette, I have never interacted with a man, let alone the second son of Zhangfu, how can it be an old acquaintance?" Jiang Gongzi's words don't talk nonsense, they spread out, and they stained people's innocence in vain, but they told people how to be good in the future. β
Chen Qiuniang was reasonable, the man was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." But, my son-in-lawβ"
"Brother Jiang, don't say it, may I ask where the ingredients are, I'll take a look." Chen Qiuniang waved her hand to interrupt him. I was sure that even if I didn't see this Zhang Ci today, Zhang Ci would come to see her in person when he was the next day.
The man looked at Chen Qiuniang speechlessly in embarrassment for a moment, he obviously never thought that such a simple and easy task given to him by Zhang Ci would be so difficult. Too big to finish.
"Girl, don't worry, you have to see my son-in-law's injuries before you can decide what to eat, right?" The man was finally forced by Chen Qiuniang to be a little anxious, and threw out such a sentence in an attempt to persuade her to meet with Zhang Ci.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Big brother, I haven't read much, don't lie to me, I'm not a doctor, how can I see your son-in-law's injury." β
The man was even more embarrassed, and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say it. Chen Qiuniang pointed to Liu Cheng, who was pounding medicine in the courtyard outside the house, and said to the man surnamed Jiang: "I asked my brother Cheng more clearly than I saw with my own eyes, right, Brother Jiang." β
"Yes." The man replied, but he looked at Chen Qiuniang in a daze, speechless.
There was silence between the two, but fortunately, the blue curtain in the back room was opened, and out of it came a young man in a blue brocade robe, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a thin body, well-rounded facial features, and long hair. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he smiled and said, "Interesting, interesting." He's a wonderful guy. β
"Cousin." The man surnamed Jiang saluted the young man.
"Haha, there aren't many people who can make you anxious." The boy laughed.
It turned out that this person was the cousin of the fifth and third children. However, Chen Qiuniang was sure that this person was not in the hunting team before. It seems that as soon as Zhang Fu received the news, someone entered the mountain lightly.
"My cousin laughed." Jianghang still responded politely.
The young man waved his hand and said, "Go and get busy, this is not Zhang's Mansion after all, be careful." β
Jiang Hang received his order and was relieved. In this room, there is only this young man and Chen Qiuniang opposite. After looking at her carefully, he curled his lips into a chuckle, and then said nothing, except handed over a sign with the word "Zhang" on it.
Chen Qiuniang looked at the sign, shook her head, and said, "I don't understand." β
"This is the brand of Zhangfu, don't be afraid, don't have any scruples." The teenager said.
Chen Qiuniang knew that the scruples he said must have been that she was afraid that these people were the enemies of the Zhang family, and they were tricking her, and the purpose was to blow up that she was the messenger and worried about her life. But she hid her cleverness and replied very angrily: "Childe's words are funny. How can I not scruple about it? That's about the reputation of the girl's family. β
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself: "I said that the kid overestimated you." How can a country girl be so smart that she is almost demonic? The boy finished talking to himself, and rolled his lips in disdain.
His voice was very small, but Chen Qiuniang still heard it. The kid he said should be Zhang Ci. Yo, Zhang Ci is so smart and looks up to the old lady so much.
Chen Qiuniang's heart was happy, but her face was angry, and she said: "You are so good at making trouble, if you don't need my help, I will go home to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, don't listen to you here." β
She said as she walked out. The young man panicked for a moment, "hey", and suddenly rushed over, blocking her way, and said, "I'm not Jiang Hang, I'm not the one to reason with you." I'll do anything to get it done. Girl. β
"What do you want to do?" Chen Qiuniang pretended to be frightened.
"I want to simply get the job done." The young man shrugged, looked Chen Qiuniang up and down again, and then shook his head and said, "It's weird." How do you look at this girl, it's kind of strange that can't be explained. β
"Boring. I went home. Chen Qiuniang dropped this sentence and tried to bypass him.
But the boy grabbed her and said, "You can't go back." I can bet with him. He said I couldn't let you in. I gambled a hundred taels of silver with him, girl, you come in with me and come out, and I will give you half of it immediately. β
"Let go, not interested." Chen Qiuniang replied.
"That's a hundred taels for you." The young man's tone was sincere, trying to lure Chen Qiuniang.
"Gambling with people, disrespecting people, and doing things for animals." Chen Qiuniang's face darkened, but she felt that this young man was very interesting, just cute.
"Hey, I can't afford to lose as a beast. What to do? The young man looked at Chen Qiuniang with ill will.
"Hmph. If you win, you lose. I don't know. Chen Qiuniang smiled sarcastically.
"Oh?" The boy's expression was exaggerated, and his eyes widened.
"He wanted me to go in, but he said that you don't have the ability, so you have to do it. The three-year-old children in our village understand the ins and outs, but you don't. You have to win. Chen Qiuniang laughed.
The boy nodded, touched his face, and said, "You're right. β
"Then I'm leaving." Chen Qiuniang slapped the young man's paws.
"But I still don't want to lose." The young man laughed undisciplinedly, and then grabbed Chen Qiuniang, extremely fast, and went directly into the back room.
"I've won, don't forget to give me the jackpot when you get home." The young man put Chen Qiuniang in front of the bed and clapped his hands.
"Beasts." Chen Qiuniang frowned coldly.
The young man shrugged, pointed to Zhang Ci on the bed, and said, "The beast is there." It was he who wanted to see you, and I flashed first. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his robe and jumped out of the half-open window.
The young man jumped out, and only Chen Qiuniang and Zhang Ci were left in the house. Chen Qiuniang stood on the side of the bed and looked at Zhang Ci who was lying on the bed, although her face was pale, her expression was extremely good, and it seemed that not only was her life not in danger, but she was also recovering well.
This man is really good. Such a serious injury, which dragged on for so many days, was able to recover so well in a short period of time, so good that I wondered if his previous injury was fake.
"Don't you want to see me? Don't hold it, it's tiring to act, right?" Zhang Ci really recovered well, and the words that teased her were simply done in one go, and she was not afraid of pulling her wounds.
This kid is so smart, he can see through her acting at a glance. In her previous life, she was a person with excellent acting skills since she was a child, and no one ever doubted her acting skills. Sometimes she wants to praise herself loudly: How can there be such a genius in this world.
And now, this kid actually got straight to the point and pointed out that she was acting.
It's seen through all of a sudden, how can this make people live. He did this in a way that he couldn't play the game happily together.
Chen Qiuniang's heart fluctuated. On the one hand, Zhang Ci was exposed so suddenly, which simply stifled the joy of life; The second is to secretly sigh that Zhang Ci is simply a dragon and phoenix among people, so young, but with such a keen and vicious vision, those powerful people are really right to be jealous of him.
"What? It's embarrassing to be said by me, right? Zhang Ci saw that Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, so he continued to laugh and tease her.
