Chapter Forty-Eight: Old Friends

The evidence and material evidence in the court were all there, Lou Huan was speechless, looking at Bai Yu for help, Bai Yu frowned and looked back at Bai Heng for help, only to see Bai Heng shook his head, and there was a very sven Gao Qi standing next to him.

Bai Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and when he saw Gao Qi there, he knew that Bai Heng probably wouldn't help him.

Bai Heng and Gao Wei are good friends, but Bai Yu and Gao Qi are mortal enemies. The two of them are of the same age, and their tempers are conflicting, and it can almost be said that they began to fight as soon as they met, but Gao Qi is very eloquent, and he is better than Bai Yu in all aspects, and has been suppressing Bai Yu. made Bai Yu sulk in his heart, feeling that every time he met the Gao family, his brother turned his elbow out.

Bai Heng did not interfere, and the result of the court was self-evident, and it was naturally clear that the Jinling County officials enforced the law impartially and came to the conclusion that Lou Huan framed Mingle and Bai Yu innocently beat Mingle, so it was judged: Lou Huan must compensate Mingle for the 500 taels that were coaxed away and the 300 taels that were damaged in the process of robbery, and in addition, he and Bai Yu must each compensate Mingle for 100 taels of medical expenses.

The matter was finally decided, Squire Lou and Bai Yu promised compensation, Ye Jinxi patted Mingle on the shoulder, and smiled at Ran Huaxiu.

The two parties ended up separately, Lou Huan was still young, and his little face was already frightened, and Squire Lou helped him out of the court. Bai Yu's face was gloomy, Bai Heng stretched out his hand to say something to Bai Yu, but Bai Yu walked away with a cold face.

Bai Heng was embarrassed, looked at Gao Qi, and just wanted to speak.

Ye Jin Raccoon and Ran Huaxiu and their entourage also walked out, it stands to reason that Ye Jin Fox should not know Gao Qi, I don't know why he suddenly turned his head to look at Gao Qi, Ran Huaxiu saw this and pulled Ye Jinxi, and the group walked past Gao Qi without squinting.

When the others left, Bai Hengcai apologized to Gao Qi and said:

"Brother Qi, I'm going to chase my second brother, he has a strong temper, I have to persuade him, so I won't accompany you more."

"Okay, Brother Heng, you can go." Gao Qi nodded and smiled.

Bai Heng turned around and chased after him, Gao Qi smiled and watched Bai Heng walk away, then turned around and went in the other direction.

"Huh...... That guy, so familiar? ”

On the way back, Ye Jin held his cheeks and pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he came to Ran Huaxiu's side and whispered to Ran Huaxiu.

Ran Huaxiu raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Jinxi: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"That's it, the guy who was dressed in black and dressed like a crow at the door, the tall and thin one."

Ye Jinci is talking about Gao Qi, they went to visit Gao Mansion yesterday and did not see Gao Qi, so Ye Jinxi did not know that Gao Qi was Gao Changshi's son.

"You said Gao Qi?" Ran Huaxiu glanced at Ye Jinxi, "People are obviously Pianpian sons, what do you mean to wear the same clothes as crows?" ”

"Where is the handsome boy, that guy looks scheming when he laughs." Hearing Ran Huaxiu say that Gao Qi was a handsome son, Ye Jinxi was sour, "You still know his name, do you know him?" ”

"Of course I do." Ran Huaxiu didn't want to deal with Ye Jinci a little, but thinking of Ye Jinxi's temperament of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, if he didn't make it clear to him, he would inevitably be annoyed by him again, so he said bluntly, "My cousin." ”

"Huh?"

The night civet almost bit its tongue in horror and cried out.

Everyone turned around, Ran Huaxiu waved at them, and the group continued to walk towards their mansion in Jinling City.

"Uh......" Ye Jinxi swallowed his saliva, "It turned out to be your cousin, no wonder I said whose family is so good-looking and so temperamental, it turns out to be a fairy from your family!" ”

Ran Huaxiu thought it was funny, this guy of the night civet - it was too fickle!

"You just said that people laugh at the old scheming, why did you change your tone just a moment?" Ran Huaxiu smiled and looked at the night brocade civet.

"You heard me wrong, I mean he smiles so good." Ye Jinxi shook his head and denied.

"You're really good at talking."

"Oh, yesterday you called that senior uncle, today this is your cousin, he is the son of that senior?" Ye Jin asked with a sudden realization.

"It's not stupid." Draw a hook at the corners of her lips.

"So yesterday you and your uncle-in-law said you wanted to help with this, right? So your cousin came over to help us today, but...... Where did he help? The night civet continued to ask.

"Deterrent."

"Deterrent?" Night Raccoon didn't understand.

"The Bai family is quite powerful in Jinling, and with my cousin's deterrence, they don't dare to meddle in this matter." Ran Huaxiu smiled, "Otherwise, how can we win so easily in the court, you must know that officialdom has always been protected by officials and officials, and it is very dark." ”

"I see." Yejin Raccoon nodded repeatedly.

The group walked all the way back to the house that Ran Huaxiu bought in Jinling, and when they entered the door, the night brocade suddenly stopped at the door of the house, looking at the plaque thoughtfully.

Without him, the plaque reads two dazzling words "Ningfu". Ye Jinxi glanced at Ran Huaxiu, remembering what Squire Lou said before, and he felt a faint pain in his heart.

Ye Jinxi thought that he understood why Ran Huaxiu was able to buy a mansion in the center of Jinling City so easily, and looked at the blue clothes on his body, and couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart - what is the origin of this surname Ning?

Night Jinxi had something in his heart, so he couldn't keep his soul, and when he came back to his senses, Ran Huaxiu was gone, and Night Jinxi asked others to know that Ran Huaxiu had something to go out.

Ye Jin couldn't help frowning, he felt that his fairy was good in all aspects, but it seemed to be a little difficult to control, and it seemed to have a butt of peach blossom debts......

Ran Huaxiu, who was thought of as a peach blossom debt by the night jinci, was really not idle at this time, she was talking happily with a man like Zhilan Yushu at this time, if the night jinxi knew about it, she would definitely be angry to death - although this is not about the night jinci at all.

The man in front of Ran Huaxiu was dressed in ink, thin and sven, with a handsome face, like a tall ink bamboo, this person was Gao Qi.

Ran Huaxiu did not go out, but talked to Gao Qi in a water pavilion in the back garden of Jinling's house.

"Cousin Yanyan, I haven't seen you for twelve years, don't come unharmed?" Gao Qi hooked her lips and smiled, with a hint of uninhibitedness in her sven.

"It's fine." Ran Huaxiu smiled lightly, and the good student looked at Gao Qi for a while, before saying, "Time really flies, and we have all grown so big in a blink of an eye." ”

Gao Qi smiled, touched Ran Huaxiu's head and said, "Yes, our family's original crybaby stingy bag has grown so big." ”

"Don't keep mentioning this stubble, I feel embarrassed when I think about it." Ran Huaxiu remembered the past and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not bad to be a stingy ghost who loves to cry, being pampered, crying if you want to, how good it ......"

Gao Qi was silent when he heard this, and said for a long time: "You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"

"Not either." Ran Huaxiu smiled, "Fate always teaches people how to go through setbacks." ”

When Gao Qi heard this, his delicate phoenix eyes drooped, and he naturally understood the sadness, helplessness and strength hidden in Ran Huaxiu's words, and naturally knew that this was the only way for Ran Huaxiu.

He just felt that his little cousin, who was once innocent and immaculate in the world, was now polished into a "tough and strong despite thousands of blows, and the wind from east to west, north and south", which was distressing.

"How's your brother?"

Gao Qi asked, and said in her heart that if Agnie was still by Yan Yan's side, she would definitely not let Yan Yan become like this.

"I don't know, I just know that he's still alive and should be okay." Ran Huaxiu said lightly, "I can't go to see him, he can't recognize me, and he may not even recognize me anymore." ”

"No, it won't." Gao Qi patted Ran Huaxiu's back, "I can recognize you at a glance, let alone your own brother who is connected to your blood." ”

"It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not." Ran Huaxiu turned to look into the distance, "Anyway, we may never see each other for the rest of our lives." ”

Gao Qi didn't know what to say when she heard this.

"Don't talk about me, why did I only see my uncle-in-law when I went to Gaofu yesterday? What about my aunt? What about the eldest cousin, the second cousin, and the cousin? Ran Huaxiu put the topic aside.

"Lately, my dad and I have been at home. My eldest brother became a right-hand envoy and went to other towns in Jinling County to run errands, as if he was going to suppress mountain bandits; The second brother was stunned and didn't know what crazy he was, he used to look like a master in the world, but this year he had to go to Beijing to take the exam, but my father and mother couldn't resist him, so he let him go; Gao Juan and my mother have gone to my grandfather's house, if you want to meet them, you can stay in Jinling for a few more days, and if they do, they will not come back until a few days. ”

The Gao family has a total of three sons and one daughter:

The boss Gao Wei, Wen Taowu, Wu Luo, Zhi Yong, and thoughtful behavior, is a problem, he doesn't like women, he hasn't married at the age of twenty-five, and he has brought a "good head" to his younger brothers and sisters;

The second child is high, rich and rich, and has outstanding literary talents, some talents and arrogance, but he has a good character, is twenty-three years old, and has not yet married;

The third Gao Juan and the fourth Gao Qi are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Gao Juan is the elder sister, but Gao Qi never accepts it, they all call Gao Juan by his name, so these two guys have always been unconvinced, from childhood to adulthood. thus also created Gao Xuan's "fresh and refined" character-

The third Gao Juan has a large amount of alcohol, a straight temper, free and bold, known as the "third sister", although the appearance is beautiful and moving, but it is no different from a man, and he is not married at the age of twenty-one;

The fourth Gao Qi has a free and uninhibited personality, some black bellies, first-class mouth cannon ability, and has not yet married at the age of twenty-one.

Gao Changshi has a high life and a bright festival, and the children he has cultivated are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are very good at every aspect of their appearance, personality, and family history. Only these four children don't like to marry, I don't know who to follow, Gao Changshi also has a headache.

Ran Huaxiu grew up with the four children of the Gao family from birth to the age of seven, and her personality is also very close, when she was a child, she liked to go crazy with her cousin Gao Juan, and her brother Agnie was once worried that Gao Juan's crazy girl would bring her badly, so Agnie often did not have a good face for Gao Juan......

Thinking of his few happy moments, Ran Huaxiu hooked the corners of his lips, looked sideways at the scenery outside the water pavilion and said, "Aunt and cousin, if you have time, you can see each other, I have other things to do this time." ”

"No conscience!" Gao Qi poked Ran Huaxiu's head and quipped, "My mother often says that I miss you and Agnie and my heart hurts, it's good for you, I'll see you when I still have time...... What's more important than getting together as a family? ”

Ran Huaxiu rubbed the place where Gao Qi was poked, smiled and said, "I was wrong." ”

"Planning to stay in Jinling for a few days? Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly come to Jinling? Gao Qi suddenly remembered and asked.

"I can'......t say for a few days," Ran Huaxiu's beautiful amber eyes flashed with a ghostly light, "I was just here to complete a mission, but I suddenly met some "old people", so I need to stay in Jinling for a few more days and settle some old accounts with them......"

"Oh?" When Gao Qi heard this, her delicate phoenix eyes raised, and the corners of her mouth were hooked with a little coldness, "There are still people in Jinling City who have the courage to provoke my sister?" ”
