Huzi officially stayed in the inn as a shopkeeper, and when he was ready to go back after a day's work, he first went to thank Shen Jiahe: "Thank you for the benefactor's life-saving grace today, if you have the opportunity, Huzi is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the benefactor's kindness." ”

Shen Jiahe touched his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to be a cow or a horse, as long as you do things here well and be down-to-earth." ”

Then he suddenly remembered that his mother was seriously ill, and Shen Jiahe asked again: "What disease did your mother have?" Can you see a doctor? ”

"The doctor only said that it was a cold wind, and I gave her medicine, but she didn't get better after taking it for more than half a month." The expression on the face of the mother Huzi was a little sad.

Shen Jiahe pondered for a moment, a wind chill in this era may also kill people, and the wind chill that has not been good for half a month is very likely to be a misdiagnosis, "In this way, I will also have a little medical skills, I will go back with you to help your mother take a look." ”

Huzi naturally excused himself in every possible way, and it was a great fortune to meet a noble person who could get so much help from them, and he didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

was about to open his mouth to refuse, but seeing that Shen Jiahe and his party had already taken the lead in walking out of the door, Huzi had to follow.

It's already so late, and the streets are still crowded, and it's a very lively scene. Shen Jiahe walked and watched, and said to himself: "You guys are here at this festival, are you so lively at night?" ”

"That's not it," Huzi pointed to the direction of the crowd and said, "There is a reason why it is so lively today, the daughter of our Zhou family, the richest man in Fulian City, will throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives in a few days." Almost the whole city rushed over to see the excitement, and the young man thought that good luck would come from heaven, and the hydrangea smashed on his head. ”

Bai Ying listened in the back and couldn't help asking: "Then if you are snatched by a crooked melon, or if you have a bad heart, wouldn't it be a pity that someone is a good girl." ”

"That's no way, before throwing the hydrangea, it was all said that it was good, whoever gets it is the son-in-law of the Zhou family." Huzi replied.

This kind of thing is indeed risky, and a good girl's family generally doesn't use this kind of bad trick. Shen Jiahe was also curious, and after he came out of Huzi's house to see his mother's illness, he wanted to go over to see it.

However, she was dazzled by the excitement along the way, but she was not in such a hurry to go to the attic of the Zhou family, Shen Jiahe pulled Bai Ying to eat street food while gathering in the crowd to watch the jugglers.

At the end of a performance, Shen Jiahe asked Bai Ying to throw two pieces of broken silver up, but Bai Ying took out her purse for a long time but suddenly stopped, she pulled Shen Jiahe and whispered: "Madam, do you see if the couple over there is Zhou Qian and Mrs. Zhou?" ”

Shen Jiahe raised his eyes and looked ahead, and across the side of the juggler, it was indeed the two of them, Shen Jiahe hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Zhou Qian, here!" ”

Zhou Qianyi raised his head, his eyes were open, and he still grabbed his wife's hand and asked in a low voice, "I...... I'm not mistaken, the queen is out of the palace? ”

Mrs. Zhou shook his hand and glanced at him: "That's right, you whisper, I didn't see that I was wearing men's clothes, I just didn't want people to know." ”

Several people gathered and hurriedly found a tea shop to sit down to drink tea, Shen Jiahe explained the reason for their trip, and asked: "You guys are not doing business well in the capital, why did you run out." ”

"Zhou Qian's cousin is about to get married, and we rushed here to drink the wedding wine." Mrs. Zhou replied on her behalf and smiled, "What a coincidence, I was able to meet Mrs. and Son-in-law here." ”

"Your relatives are so close, why are the two families so far apart?" Shen Jiahe said curiously.

Zhou Qian took a sip of tea before explaining: "My uncle is in business, and when he was young, he ran from the southeast and northwest, and later married his daughter-in-law in this Fulian City, and settled here. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Qian proudly showed off to them: "Let me tell you, my uncle is a good hand in business, and he has made a lot of money in the family business over the years, and almost a few percent of my business methods were taught by my uncle." ”

"Is it so powerful?" Shen Jiahe shook his head in disbelief, "Could it be that he is richer than the owner of Piaoxiang Building in the capital." ”

"Hey, I won't tell you, my uncle is the richest man in Fulian City, and the owner of Piaoxiang Mansion is nothing!" Zhou Qian said disdainfully.

"Oh, then in that case, you can exchange the capital I gave you for doing business before, and I'll calculate how much I gave in total." Shen Jiahe began to settle accounts in a decent manner.

Zhou Qian panicked all of a sudden, hurriedly grabbed Shen Jiahe's sleeve, and then put down his sleeve in Pei Yuan's warning eyes, hehe said twice, and said with a bitter face: "I have learned a little fur, how can I compare with my richest uncle, I have spent all the money you gave before, and the shop has not been paid this time." ”

The people at the table couldn't help laughing, and Bai Ying was suddenly surprised on the side: "The richest man is your cousin who is going to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives today?" Then he couldn't help but talk about their previous discussion about the unreliability of throwing hydrangeas to recruit relatives, "Your cousin and uncle haven't thought about this?" ”

Zhou Qian sighed, and then his expression was a little complicated: "There are a lot of things here, and the hydrangea throwing will start almost immediately, and I'll tell you when it's time." ”

The location where the Zhou family threw hydrangeas was chosen on an attic that their family bought on East Street, which was three stories high, and you could see the scene of the entire East Street when you stood on it.

Zhou Qian and his group stood under a big banyan tree on the right side of the attic, pointed to a man who looked like a scholar not far away and introduced to them: "My cousin just wants to throw the hydrangea into that person's hand, it is the sweetheart she has liked for several years. ”

Zhou Qian's cousin Zhou Xun and the man have known each other for five or six years, watching him slowly take the examination from penniless, and the man also promised to propose marriage to the Zhou family when he is promoted in the examination or admitted to the capital, but the richest man in Zhou can't wait.

His daughter has already reached the end of her life, and if she doesn't marry, she will become an old girl, and he can't look down on this young man who is just a talented young man.

In the letter he sent to Zhou Qian's father, he said: "How can such a sour talent be worthy of the daughter of my Zhou family." ”

Zhou Xun can't screw it, but she doesn't want to marry someone else, she thinks about it and reaches such an unreliable agreement with the richest man Zhou, throwing hydrangeas to decide her future husband.

"My uncle doesn't know what to think, you said that if it was really a person who couldn't do anything and snatched the hydrangea, wouldn't my cousin be ruined for the rest of her life." Zhou Qian scratched his head and said.

Shen Jiahe looked at the empty attic, imagined the upcoming scene of throwing hydrangeas, and replied: "Maybe their father and daughter have some small calculations." ”

"Miss Zhou is here!" Suddenly a voice in the crowd shouted.

A very magnificent carriage came slowly to the attic, the carriage was splendid, surrounded by maids and servants, it was indeed more magnificent than some nobles in the capital.

The carriage stopped at the door of the attic, a pair of plain hands stretched out in the carriage, the maid immediately stretched out her hand to help, only to see a delicate and soft girl, wearing a vermilion golden-butterfly pomegranate skirt leisurely got off the carriage, she glanced at the crowd as if nothing, she heard a sobbing, the skirt fluttered by, and a fragrant wind instantly squinted people's eyes.

Shen Jiahe whispered to Pei Yuan and bit his ear: "I didn't expect the girl from the Zhou family to be so good-looking." ”

Pei Yuan looked at Zhou Qian, who was standing on their side, and quipped: "But when I saw Brother Zhou before, I really didn't expect it." ”

Zhou Qianbai glanced at the two of them, and was about to take them to the attic to say hello, when he suddenly saw a large area of disgusting smoke on the attic.

The smoke came so suddenly that for a moment it was impossible to see anything in the attic, and for a moment the people below the attic panicked and spun around like headless flies.

Pei Yuan hugged Shen Jiahe behind the banyan tree, and loudly instructed Liuyu to take care of Bai Ying and not to get separated, but at this time, Zhou Qian shouted: "Cousin, cousin, she is upstairs." As he spoke, he was about to squeeze into the crowd, wanting to go to the attic to check it out.

The crowd scattered and fled, where could Zhou Qian squeeze through, Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe to the highest place, and instructed: "You wait for me here, I'll go see Zhou Qian." ”

Just about to leave, Shen Jiahe stretched out his hand and pulled Pei Yuan away, "Look over there." ”

Following the direction of Shen Jiahe's finger, Pei Yuan saw a man in black flying towards a forest in the north with Zhou Xun, that person was not weak, and he could take people out directly from the third floor, and his skills should not be bad.

"Follow along." Pei Yuan grabbed Shen Jiahe's waist and flew in the direction of the man in black.

In the depths of the woods, the man in black stopped, he didn't pity Zhou Xun at all, just threw it on the ground and shouted towards the empty forest: "People have brought, come out." ”

A man wearing a Shu brocade robe and carrying a golden cicada around his waist walked over from not far away with a fan, and threw a money bag at the man in black with a smile: "Although the silver is spent a little more, I am really relieved to find you, things are done so quickly." ”

Zhou Xun looked at the man who was about to walk to him, and hurriedly got up from the ground: "Lin Hai, why are you, what do you want to do?" ”

Lin Hai raised his hand and picked up a strand of long hair from Zhou Xun's ear, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly, his expression was very obscene: "I didn't expect it to be me?" Also, all your Miss Zhou thinks about is Xu Yan, where can you think of me! ”

"It's none of your business, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Zhou Xun said that he was about to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai grabbed her wrist and brought it forward: "I still want to leave, but I spent a lot of money to get you here, I can see that you will find someone to come to the door to propose marriage, that is to give your Zhou family face, but you are good, your father obviously agreed, but you refused again and again." ”

"I don't like you, and my father won't agree, Lin Hai, you die of this heart!" Zhou Xun struggled hard.

Shen Jiahe and Pei Yuan sat on a tree not far from them, and heard the conversation between the two clearly, Shen Jiahe pinched his fingers, this kind of robbery of the people's daughter, let her meet, then the other party only has one dead word left.

Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe to jump down from the tree gently, and when Shen Jiahe stood firm, when Lin Hai saw that Zhou Xun was still struggling in every way, and threw Zhou Xun to the ground and was about to be strong, Pei Yuan kicked over.

Looking at the two strangers in front of him, Lin Hai took a sip: "Where did the two miscellaneous pieces come from, dare to conceive Lao Tzu's good deeds." ”

"Cheap mouth, slap mouth!" Shen Jiahe stepped forward with an arrow, started work with both hands, and slapped Lin Hai several times.

Lin Hai was a little stunned by the beating, and he forgot to fight back for a while, and after Shen Jiahe stopped, he just wanted to make a move, but Pei Yuan stepped forward and broke his wrist: "The hand is also cheap, it's broken." ”

Lin Hai knelt down with a scream, he held his broken wrist, and shouted at Shen Jiahe: "Do you know who Lao Tzu is? You'd better obediently accompany me now, otherwise Lao Tzu will make you unable to eat and walk around. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black in the distance quietly watched Pei Yuan break Lin Hai's other hand instantly.

Shen Jiahe also took a silver needle and shook it in front of his eyes, threatening: "If you shout again, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life, do you believe it or not?" ”

Lin Hai took two steps back in horror, and he shouted to the man in black not far away: "What are you doing there, Lao Tzu spent so much silver not to let you come here to watch the play." Hurry up and settle these two people for me, and Lao Tzu will double the silver for you. ”

The man in black dragged the long sword in his hand in their direction, Lin Hai sneered and looked at Pei Yuan and the two: "The three of you can't leave today, don't you like to meddle in things, I'll let you take care of it all at once." ”
