Yan Ran knew that when she came here today, she couldn't guarantee that she would see Cheng Ruiru, but Yan Ran felt that she was an upright person, and even if she saw her, she didn't worry about what he said. At this moment, seeing Cheng Ruiru say what he said again, Yan Ran didn't look at him, but stepped into the door: "Since you know that there is a difference between men and women, you have to distinguish between inside and outside, how can you not know how to avoid it?" Besides, I was ordered by my master to come to visit my aunt, where can I go? ”

Cheng Ruiru thought that she was sharp-tongued, but she didn't expect Yanran's mouth to be sharper than herself, and her eyes immediately widened. Shi An's little servant had already heard it come out of the house, and when he saw Cheng Ruiru like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Brother Cheng, thank you for helping to open the door!" ”

The little guy was playing in the round, and Cheng Ruiru also adhered to the principle that good men do not fight with women, glared at Yanran and left. The little guy smiled at Yan Ran: "Brother Cheng is a little quick-tempered, he is a good person!" ”

Yan Ran scolded in her heart, and didn't answer but asked, "Is my uncle here?" The old lady sent me to ask my aunt's peace and greet my aunt! Saying that, Yanran took a look at the courtyard, since Zeng Zhixian sent Yanran to send a message, Shi An was not so stubborn, a curtain was hung at the door of this house, and the yard was also repaired, and it was no longer as tattered as last time.

"Our lord is here, but there is only one room, so it's not good for you to come in and sit!" The little guy said in his mouth, so he went to the eaves and moved a chair over, and went into the house to pour tea, Yanran sat down and continued to look, thinking about leaving Cheng Ruiru angrily, Yanran couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, she deserved it, who made him not know how to score inside and out.

The door creaked and was pushed open again, Yanran thought it was Cheng Ruiru coming back, looked up, but saw Rong Qi walking in. Rong Qi was still carrying something in his hand, and he was shouting: "Brother Shi, I'm lucky today, I got a roast duck, and I'll come together to fight the tooth sacrifice later!" ”

Before the words were finished, Rong Qi saw Yanran sitting there, for the New Year's Festival, Yanran was dressed better than usual, she was fourteen this year, and her figure had gradually become slim, showing the shape of a girl. From a distance, she already looks like a beauty.

Rong Qi didn't expect such a beautiful woman to sit in the courtyard, so he hurriedly turned around and said a little embarrassedly: "This girl is here to look for someone, I'll go out first!" Saying that Rong Qi was about to go out, the little guy had already come out with tea, and when he saw that Rong Qi was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Rong, don't avoid it, this is the person sent by the old lady of our in-laws, you also saw it last time!" ”

Rong Qi turned around at this time, looked at Yan Ran carefully, had already recognized Yan Ran, and smiled at Yan Ran: "It turned out to be Miss Zheng, these days, thank you for taking care of Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng!" Yan Ran also stood up and said a blessing to Rong Qi: "I heard what my father and mother said, but we live there, and there are too many neighbors around, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be many people and say some unpleasant things!" ”

"I also understand this, Miss Zheng, don't worry, I will tell Brother Cheng that I will go less in the future!" Rong Qi already knew about the dispute between Yanran and Cheng Ruiru yesterday, and this also meant to apologize on behalf of Cheng Ruiru. Unexpectedly, Rong Qi looked so much smaller than Cheng Ruiru, much more polite and thoughtful than him. Yan Ran thought in her heart, and when she saw Shi An walking out of the house, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet Shi An, and sent the things she had prepared, in addition to the shoes, there was also some food.

Shi An ordered the little servant to accept it, and asked the people of the Zeng family about to say goodbye, when Yanran was about to say goodbye, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zeng Zhiqing's voice had already come: "Xiaoshi, you are still working at home, come on, let's go out to play......" The word was still in his throat, Zeng Zhiqing looked at Yanran, and his mouth was a little hungry: "Yanran, why are you here?" ”

Without waiting for Yanran to answer, Zeng Zhiqing had already sighed: "I know, the eldest sister sent you!" When Yan Ran saw Zeng Zhiqing at first glance, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, after all, Zeng Zhixian was thin-skinned, and she couldn't help but lie in her mouth: "Nonsense, the old lady sent me!" ”

Zeng Zhiqing smiled and circled around Yanran, in front of such people, Yanran's ears turned red all of a sudden. Zeng Zhiqing looked at Yanran at this time: "It's not me talking nonsense, you see your face is red, the eldest sister is so shy, this kind of thing, what are you afraid of, be generous!" This person is really, there is a lack of a doorkeeper on his mouth, Yan Ran couldn't help but glance at Zeng Zhiqing: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, since this is the case, you are not allowed to say it, and if you want others to ask, you will say, the old lady sent me!" ”

"Go, you can lie to your grandmother, and you want me to cover it up?" Zeng Zhiqing didn't know why, when he thought that he could win Yanran once in his mouth, he was very happy in his heart, and asked Yanran with a smile. Yan Ran's face is now red and about to burn, if she is misunderstood and has something with Zeng Zhiqing, it will not be good. Yan Ran said strongly: "Shizi, think about it carefully, if it weren't for the old lady's nod, how could I come out so easily?" Old lady, don't say it in your mouth, you know it in your heart! ”

Zeng Zhiqing sighed, and said to Shi An: "You also heard it, right?" Grandmother, she feels sorry for you, don't be so crooked and polite to me in the future, you and I are Uncle Lang, and we are a family. Besides, I'm good to you, and you'll be good to my sister in the future! ”

Yanran couldn't help laughing, Zeng Zhiqing looked at her: "What's the matter, isn't what I said right?" Do you really think that all I know is nonsense? ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is right, it's not too early, I should go back!" Yan Ran saluted Zeng Zhiqing and Shi An and left. Zeng Zhiqing was still holding Shi An's shoulders and talking about things there. Shi An looked at the shoes, which were made by his wife, thinking that Shi An's eyes were full of tenderness. I won't fail her.

Rong Qi had already chopped the roast duck, made two more side dishes, warmed the wine and brought it out: "Shizi, Brother Shi, sit down and have a drink together." ”

Zeng Zhiqing was going to take Shi An out to eat, but he glanced at the dishes made by Rong Qi, and felt that the aroma was fragrant, although it was a home-cooked dish, it seemed to be better than what the chef at home made, and said that he was not polite, and his hand had already taken out a piece of silver in his purse, handed it to the little maid and said: "You go outside to cut a few braised vegetables, I often hear the little guy at home say that they drink quietly like this." I'm fresh, too! ”

"The prince drinks at home, they are all such exquisite dishes, and we are afraid that I will not be used to eating them!" Rong Qi poured Zeng Zhiqing a glass of wine, Zeng Zhiqing drank it dry, licked his tongue and said: "This wine is a little spicy, not so mellow, but it has a different taste." I said Xiaoshi, you are losing money to live with them, if you are a bad person, this life will be difficult! ”

said that the little guy had already bought something and came back: "The store is not open, and it took a long time to find a company that sells spiced peanuts, and I weighed half a catty of peanuts and came back!" Zeng Zhiqing didn't care, opened the paper bag and pinched the peanuts and put them in his mouth, feeling that it was much more refreshing than the drinking that many people served at home.

A touch of gloom flashed in Rong Qi's eyes before he said: "Brother Cheng's family originally had an industry, and Brother Cheng grew up surrounded by nurses and maids since he was a child, who knew that five years ago, Brother Cheng's mother passed away, and his father remarried a room, this stepmother is young, and Brother Cheng's father obeys his words!" ”

"That is to be kicked out of the house?" Zeng Zhiqing interjected, Rong Qi shook his head: "I didn't rush out, I just said that Brother Cheng's age, it was time to go to the academy, so I sent Brother Cheng to the academy, the beginning was fine, and the silver was sent over every month, and after half a year, the little guy around him fled, and the silver was gone, and the academy asked people to take Brother Cheng back home." Who knew that the house had been demolished into a white field, and it was only when I asked the neighbors around that I knew. Brother Cheng went to the academy for less than three months, and his father lost his footing after drinking one day and died in less than a day. The stepmother said that the young widow, and the son did not know where he had gotten, so she hastily arranged the funeral, sold the house, dismissed the people, packed up her things and went back to her mother's house. When Brother Cheng heard the words of his neighbor, his soul was about to fly to the sky. When I went to my stepmother's house, I saw that the building was already empty. It is said that I am afraid that this is a liar in Beijing who specializes in deceiving outsiders, or pretending to be a widow or a prostitute, and the deceived man has married him, and it will not take three or five months to kill the man, take the silver roll and leave, and then go to find another house! ”

Zeng Zhiqing has lived so much, and it is the first time he has heard of such a thing, so he can't help but sigh: "Then there is a lawsuit, and there are always a few relatives!" ”

"What's the use of suing the officer? The name is fake, and the place of origin is fake. Originally, there were a few relatives, and there were no ones to take in, and Brother Cheng also had a Yue family, so I was afraid that that family would also recruit another son-in-law! After Rong Qi finished speaking, he sighed.

Shi An couldn't help but bow his head, originally thinking that what he had encountered was the most difficult to say in the world, who knew that there was something more difficult to say than himself. Zeng Zhiqing sighed several times.

"Xiaorong, you just love to talk about this, what's the use of talking about these past events? I'd better save up enough money earlier and go to my uncle. I went out today and inquired again, my uncle is only afraid of being in Jiangxi! Cheng Ruiru didn't know when he had come back, leaning against the door and saying lightly.

Rong Qi smiled: "Speaking of which, Brother Cheng, my travel expenses have almost been saved, and in two or three months, I will leave!" ”

"What, you're leaving?" Zeng Zhiqing heard a story and was thinking about how to help, when he heard Rong Qi say that he wanted to leave, he couldn't help but shout.

Rong Qi nodded: "I met Brother Cheng Pingshui, and I was taken care of by him, but a good man has ambitions in all directions, how can he always be in this small courtyard and do odd jobs to support himself?" I always have to go out to break through, and although my parents are dead, I have no relatives in Beijing, but I still have my cousin in Yangzhou who is in business, so I can naturally defect. Brother Cheng also has an uncle outside, so he always has to find a way out! ”

Zeng Zhiqing forgot to put the duck pieces on his chopsticks and put them in his mouth: "I envy you, although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but compared to you, I am like a frog at the bottom of a well, I don't know anything, and someone is in charge of it everywhere, I am really depressed!" Saying that, Zeng Zhiqing put down his chopsticks and sighed depressedly.
