Chapter 47: Catching the Rapist (1)
According to the agreement with Mrs. Gu, Ningxia Qing had to persuade the Ning family to agree to quit the family, and he had to cover up the ugliness of the Gu family, and he could not mention the role played by the Gu family in this matter.
It's just that the Gu family can't be mentioned, and the old lady and the Cao family have to agree to quit their relatives, how difficult is this matter? Ning Xia Qing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate to say it directly, and it needed to be done step by step, so that the old lady and the Cao family gradually accepted it.
At dinner, Ning Xia Qing did not go to accompany Cao's family, but used it in the old lady's room, planning to take this opportunity to reveal a few words, test the old lady's attitude, and let the old lady have a preparation.
When drinking tea after the meal, Ning Xia Qingcai spoke slowly: "Grandma, I pondered, since the Shen family has this attitude towards us, it is better for us to return the marriage book to the Shen family." ”
The old lady was stunned, put down the teacup in her hand, and said with a sad brow: "I'm also thinking about this...... It's just that the attitude of the Shen family has been repeated, and we can't be sure whether the Shen family is determined to withdraw from their relatives. The old lady persuaded: "I know, the Shen family has changed the hexagram several times, and you are wronged, but this is a lifelong event, and you can't be impulsive." ”
"I'm not impulsive, I've thought about it. The Shen family has always looked down on us, so why should we take the humiliation on ourselves? In this case, even if I marry in the future, I will not be able to live well. ”
The old lady sighed and said, "Why don't I understand this? It's just that if the married woman is dismissed, but she will suffer a lot of criticism, everyone will pour dirty water on you, and you may find it difficult to find someone in the future, so how will you live in the future? I can't bear to let you end up in that situation. ”
Ning Xia Qing didn't answer, but observed the old lady's expression. Seeing that the old lady's eyes were slightly red at this time, she was obviously distressed and embarrassed, and she was reluctant to let Ningxia Qing jump into the Longtan tiger's den of the Shen family, but she knew that Ningxia Qing was now difficult to ride a tiger.
The old lady said with a sad face: "I still hope that this family business can be accomplished." Although the Shen family is not a good family, if you quit your family, you are afraid that you will only end up in a more bleak situation! I thought about it, if the Shen family insists on quitting the family, let's ask the family to come forward to make decisions for you, although the Shen family dares to bully our family, they dare not disobey the family. ”
Ning Ningqing knew the old lady's attitude in her heart, and she had already informed the old lady of her attitude, seeing that the old lady began to frown again, she quickly diverted the topic and didn't say anything more.
She understands what the old lady said, she naturally won't let herself fall into that situation, and she is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer. Even if this family affair makes it difficult for her to ride a tiger, she can find a way out for herself and let the initiator bear the consequences.
She knew in her heart that with Mrs. Shen's temperament, she was afraid that she had been forced to be in a hurry, and she would soon be ruthless. Since the Shen family wants to be ruthless, don't blame her for preparing a foolproof plan to let the Shen family end up digging their own graves. Anyway, she only promised Mrs. Gu that she would withdraw from her family, and she did not promise to eat the bitter fruits of her retirement alone.
As soon as Ning Xia Qing returned to the house, he was about to go to Ah Zheng and discuss with him about dealing with the Shen family, so he asked Cuiyu: "Is Ah Zheng back?" ”
Jade nodded. Ningxia Qing had already told Cuiyu what Ah Zheng had arranged, and although Cuiyu didn't understand why Ningxia Qing had to stop people, she knew that it was to save people, so she was full of approval.
Ning Xia Qing asked again: "When did he come back?" Alone in the house? ”
Cuiyu replied: "It's been a while since I came back, and Ah Cai went home today, and Ah Zheng was alone in the house." ”
Ning Xia Qing nodded, and asked again: "Did you buy the beef I asked you to buy?" ”
"Bought it. What does the girl want beef for? ”
Ning Xia Qing smiled but didn't answer, and asked again: "Is there anyone else in the kitchen?" ”
"No, according to the girl's instructions, I told the cook to rest. I also said that the girl was going to have a supper at night, so I asked the cook not to lock the kitchen door. ”
Ningxia Qing came to the kitchen with a piece of jade, and the jade was holding the lamp on the side, and Ningxia Qing washed the beef back and forth several times until it could no longer be bloody. Then put it on the table, cut it thinly, and Jade couldn't help but praise: "The girl's knife skills are really good." ”
Ning Xia Qing hurriedly signaled Cuiyu not to make a sound, Cuiyu covered her mouth, and muttered quietly: "Girl, why are we like thieves?" ”
Ningxia Qing also thought it was funny, and then couldn't help laughing, and prepared chopped green onions, fennel, peppercorns, salt, ginger slices and sesame oil, put the seasoning and beef into the pot, covered and cooked.
In a few moments, the smell filled the kitchen.
Cuiyu looked outside worriedly and said, "Girl, fortunately, the rain is heavy tonight, so I can hide this fragrance." Otherwise, the smell will definitely attract people......"
Ning Xia Qing smiled, thought for a while, and in order to be safe, asked Cuiyu to close all the doors and windows, turn off the lights again, and moved a small stool over, and the master and servant sat in front of the stove, relying on the smell to identify the heat in the pot.
Ning Xia Qing whispered to Cuiyu and bit her ear: "I'll bring him food later, and you can help me boil hot water in the kitchen." If someone comes to me, you say I'm bathing. Then help me get my change of clothes ready, and when I get back, I will take a shower. ”
Jade nodded.
Ning Xia Qing said again: "The rain is so heavy tonight, Du Qiutong should have also taken a bath, and he shouldn't go out, since this is the case, we don't have to worry about her coming to make trouble." You just need to keep an eye on Zi'er, and if she looks for me, don't let her find out that I'm not there. ”
Jade nodded again.
Ningxia Qing opened the lid of the pot, and the room was filled with fragrance in an instant, and the jade next to him drooled. Ningxia Qing cooled the beef, then sprinkled sesame oil on it, picked up a slice and stuffed it into Cuiyu's mouth, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
Jade squinted, looked satisfied, and nodded again and again.
Ningxia Qing left a few pieces for Cuiyu, and then put the rest into a bowl, which was enough for several bowls, and put those bowls in the food box, Cuiyu said while chewing the beef: "The girl has made too much, Ah Zheng can really eat it......"
Ning Xia Qing smiled, and then walked out of Ah Zheng's house.
Tonight the rain was fierce, and the heavy rain obscured her tracks, and she soon arrived at Ah Zheng's house, but Ah Zheng was not there.
She waited for a while, but she didn't see Ah Zheng come back, and when she saw that it was getting late, she put the food box on the table, planning to come to Ah Zheng again tomorrow, got up and walked to the door, and suddenly someone walked in, and the two almost collided. The man was not surprised, but she was startled, and the man hurriedly said, "It's me." ”
Seeing that it was Ah Zheng, she swallowed her heart.
She looked at Ah Zheng and saw that Ah Zheng seemed to have just taken a bath, and his hair was still dripping with water. Unlike the man next to him, his hair was short, just above his shoulders. When I first met Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng was bald, and at that time, he said that he had experienced a fire before, and his hair was burned, so he shaved it all off.
In the past few years in her family, Ah Zheng has been looked at by others because of her hair. At first, it was because his hair was too short, which was really weird. Later, although his hair gradually became longer, he never wore a crown in a bun like the man next to him, but he would wear a braid for convenience when he worked.
It's not that no one has looked at him differently for this, but he doesn't notice it at all, and he still goes his own way. The strange thing is that this kind of behavior, which would seem sloppy and unkempt to others, has an indescribable sense of fit in him.
Looking at the calm expression on Ah Zheng's face, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Do you know I'm here?" ”
"Hmm. I smell it. ”
She was a little confused by this answer, Ah Zhengze had already opened the food box loudly, picked up the chopsticks, and before gobbling it up, said: "When I rushed over, he was about to walk on the path, and I stalemate with him for a while, and the path in front of me collapsed. Now, he will definitely go to the official road, and there will be no more danger. ”
When she heard this, her face was stunned, and her heart was mixed.
She actually saved Gu Xuesong's life, and indirectly left a stumbling block for Tan Wenshi, and the Gu family will also enter the peak because of Gu Xuesong. Before that, she knew everything about the future, but in the future, the future was different, the future had been changed by her own hands, and she would not be able to predict so many things.
When so many thoughts turned in her heart, Ah Zheng never looked up, concentrating on eating meat, and she sighed slightly in her heart. Ah Zheng didn't even ask her, wasn't Ah Zheng curious, why did she know that Gu Xuesong would definitely be in danger?
Jade didn't ask her either, but Jade trusted her unconditionally. But Ah Zheng didn't ask, as if in Ah Zheng's heart, it was not surprising that she knew anything.
The room is filled with the aroma of beef, and the appearance of Ah Zheng gobbling up makes people feel inexplicably relieved. Ah Zheng doesn't seem to be a person of this era, he is like a warrior in ancient times, following the oldest rules of martial arts, with the tragic feelings of bloody battles to the death, and in his body, he shows a primitive but indestructible etiquette, righteousness and shame.
There are all kinds of people in the world, and he is the one who likes to be his enemy the most. He chose the hardest path and will always walk on it.
Once you understand this person's rules and persistence, you will find that although you can't do the same as him, you can easily read him, because he will never deviate from the path he has chosen. Moreover, once you understand the rules and persistence of this person, you will find that no one can not be shocked by his strong will.
Ah Zheng divided five by two, and after eating the beef, she began to get down to business: "I need you to find Zhao Xiang'e tomorrow." ”
"What are you looking for her?"
She possessed her and whispered a few words in Ah Zheng's ear.
Ah Zheng frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
She explained in a low voice: "The Shen family has been forced to be in a hurry, and in the next few days, they will resort to brutal means." I have to start first and plan ahead. ”
Ah Zheng looked at her directly: "So, you agreed to withdraw from the family?" So what do you do next? ”
Puzzled, she asked, "What?" ”
"You are a woman, and if you quit your family, others will definitely talk about you, and your life will not be easy."
She looked at Ah Zheng, shocked in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
It turns out that people like Ah Zheng are also aware of gossip...... Didn't Ah Zheng never pay attention to the eyes of others? She also thought that people like Ah Zheng didn't know anything about secular etiquette at all.
It turned out that Ah Zheng was not ignorant, but turned a blind eye. Moreover, he clearly knows that just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care. Therefore, when it happened to her, Ah Zheng was able to stand in her perspective and keenly consider these for her.
