Chapter 220: Licking the Calf (Part II)

The stamp and the stack of paper slammed out of the horsewhip, and even Mrs. Xu, who seemed to have suddenly become stupid, turned her gaze. Yuqing cried sadly, and let out all the grievances and sadness in her stomach, plus the pain, and when she saw these things, she also choked up and said, "This ...... Isn't this a certificate of deposit from a foreigner's bank? ”

"Well, I'm not confused, I can recognize the certificate of deposit. Deposit receipt plus stamp, a celebration word, take this stamp and add a list, you can go to withdraw. Look at it, old lady. ”

At this time, it was not dark, so it could still be seen that although Xu was called an old lady, she was only in her early forties, far from being dizzy from old age, and she could see clearly. She didn't know foreign codes, but she knew how to count zero, and after counting a few times, she glanced at Zhao Guanhou, "This...... This is two hundred thousand? ”

"Old lady, what you said is very right, this is a deposit certificate from HSBC, 200,000 taels of silver. If the prince is really ruthless to his wife and unrighteous to Shigege, will he be rewarded with 200,000 yuan? Such a large amount, even if it is a prince, it will not be something that can be taken out casually. ”

He couldn't say a word, such a large number, even if he sold one or two governors, he couldn't make money. I'm afraid that several percent of the belongings of Qingwangfu are in this deposit.

In the life of King Qing, he had the best friendship with yellow and white things, and he was a Pixiu character, who was in and out, only generous to his own children, and more to others, and even his subordinates did not give him money to start work. is willing to take out a figure of 200,000 taels, which naturally proves that he is by no means so ruthless to the two of them.

Xu is also very clear about the personality of this godfather, and hope has been rekindled in the originally empty and godless eyes. "Lord, lord, he ...... Don't you really want to cut us off? I said, the prince is not such a person, he must be thinking of us, but...... But why is he so ......?"

This is a woman like a silk flower, accustomed to living dependent on men, and if she is allowed to survive on her own strength, it will be an unimaginable disaster for her. With Zhao Guanhou's knowledge, he believed that if it weren't for this good news, she would probably have to find an opportunity to commit suicide. If he hadn't seen this, he wouldn't have solved the mystery now, at least he would have to wait until he had finished his medicine first.

Xu Shi is a delicate woman, as soon as there is hope, she pays attention to those small details, and looks at Yuqing with disgust, "Yuqing, you are really a daredevil." The forehead is so seriously injured, you don't say that you will give you medicine, but you want the man to serve you first, you are really spoiled. ”

"It's okay, you two will talk in the house, and the juniors will say goodbye first."

Zhao Guanhou couldn't remove the medicine in front of the Xu family, so he had to go to the wing room on the other side and ask Gao Jinzhong to take action and give him the medicine for his injuries. King Qing's pumping of him is not like pumping his own daughter, he is really ruthless, but fortunately, he has excellent physical fitness, and he can still hold on. Gao Jinzhong's own wound medicine also has a miraculous effect on this kind of injury, and after taking the medicine, the wound feels not as painful as it was at the beginning, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days to heal.

When he returned to the room again, Jin Shi had stopped crying, and his expression had become solemn. The weather outside was still so hot, and thick clouds were piling up in the air, staining the whole sky like the bottom of a black pot. Although it was not yet night, the room was already in the light.

There was a big drought in Zhili this year, and there was no snow and rain since the New Year, and the croppers were unlucky. This rain has been brewing for a long time, and no one says when it will come to the world, but I feel that the air is filled with the heat and humidity before the heavy rain comes.

In the wind, the sound of shouting and gunfire could be faintly heard, but the sound was too far away, and when it reached the courtyard, it was not very obvious. It was too noisy in the room just now, so no one noticed, but when it was quiet, the sound could be heard clearly.

Xu Shi frowned, "This is too unusual, the first good place in the capital division, killing and killing, it is too unorthodox." It must be that the Flying Tigers are killing people and burning houses, and the trouble is too much, and no one cares about it. I was just making trouble in the outer city before, why did I come to the inner city today? ”

Yuqing said: "I'm afraid this is the reason why Ama wants to drive me out." ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "The position where the prince is standing is different from ours, standing high, you can see it far." In particular, he is an old man who works in the yamen of various countries and deals with foreign ministers, so he knows more things. I think that the situation has reached an extremely dangerous point, and Jingli can no longer guarantee safety. So the prince wants us to leave as soon as possible. Treating each other like this is also a last resort. In the future, when the war breaks out, the prince doesn't know what his situation is, so he will cut off the relationship with you first, and save you from being implicated. ”

Xu Shi exclaimed: "You are saying that the prince is in danger? If this is the case, I am going to the palace now to accompany the prince through the hardships and dangers, and I can't leave the prince alone at this time. Quickly command Jinzhong, prepare a car for me, I will go to the palace. ”

Although Zhao Guanhou was moved by his affection, he also felt that her nominal husband was also extremely unlucky. hurriedly stopped, "Old lady, you listen to the juniors first, the prince said today, he just doesn't want us to go." If you run away at this time, it will inevitably make the prince's arrangements fall through, which is not good. Listen to me, the prince is a clan, and he has been up and down in the Huanhai Sea for many years, and he has his own way to settle down. He didn't let you be in the house just to make it easier. If you rush in, you will ruin the prince's layout, which is not beautiful. It's better for us to follow the prince's wishes first, and go back to Shandong to watch the situation. If there are any bad changes, there are still four battalions of elite soldiers here in the younger generation, no matter what, the prince can also be protected. ”

Yuqing was also persuaded by the side, and finally stopped Xu's idea of going to the palace. She is a woman with very soft ears, and as soon as she says a few sentences, she has no idea, so she nods. Yuqing looked at Zhao Guanhou, made a look, and the two left the house and came to the courtyard.

The room was stuffy, and the outside was not much better, and the breathing was still not smooth. The sound of shouting and killing was slightly louder than in the room, and the sound of gunshots could be heard. Zhao Guanhou looked at the direction of Dongjiaomin Lane, "There are nearly 1,000 foreign soldiers in the embassies of various countries, so they should be able to block it." Of course, if the fourth battalion of the right army is transferred up, this thousand foreign soldiers may not be cheap. But without my order, it is not easy for them to transfer the right army to fight foreign soldiers, and Zhongtang will not nod his head there. ”

Yuqing said, "Are you worried about Jensen? ”

"It's not just her, but Second Sister Sai is also in the embassy. She is also an acquaintance of mine and has helped me a lot, so naturally I don't want to see her have an accident. Jensen went to the concession for our business, and there was really a good one, and I couldn't explain it in my conscience. ”

"You have a lot of concerns." Yuqing glanced at him with a smile, "When I am in front of me, mention that woman, are you not afraid that I will be jealous?" ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "It's all my debt after all, and I can't help but go to my heart." In fact, if you want to say anything, everyone is a bowl of water, I am willing to say this, you don't want to believe it, in my heart, Jensen's status is naturally inferior to you, but you can't do it to care about her at all, that's not the way of life. ”

Yuqing nodded, took his hand, and the two paced back and forth in the courtyard, "Your injury...... It's going to be fine. Amma's hands are really ruthless, and you are covered in blood when you hit you, and it looks scary. ”

"Fortunately, I have a strong body, and the whip didn't want my life after all, so it didn't really break me. Jinzhong's medicine is good, and it will be good in a few days. This injury is nothing, I can even cut my fingers, and I'm afraid of whips? ”

Yuqing was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You...... Don't you ask me about the miscarriage? ”

"I definitely have to ask, but when you're in a good mood, and you're emotionally unstable now, I'm afraid that if you ask, you'll cry again. You were beaten today, and you were so sad, I don't want you to be sad again, that's not good for your health. ”

Nowadays, men hate their women for having abortions casually, after all, for most men, wives and concubines are just tools to warm the bed and continue the incense. When the big and the small are in the same danger, it is the norm to protect the small but not the big, and it is a great crime to lose your children without permission.

It is precisely for this reason that Yuqing didn't dare to tell Zhao Guanhou Ming about this, she was kicked by her father today, and she was still worried that Zhao Guanhou would have a seizure. Even when he took the initiative to mention this, he was also uneasy. Hearing that Zhao Guanhou cared about her body, not the child, her nose was sore, and she took two breaths hard, and did not shed tears, but her hand grasped it tighter.

"I'm fine, really...... I'm not actually afraid of pain, it's mainly that I feel sad at the thought that Amma doesn't want me anymore. Now that I know that Amma still loves me so much and recognizes me as a daughter, my heart is not so sad. So, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. ”

She took a breath and tried to keep her tone calm, "I know, Su Shi can't give birth, my child, is very important to you." But...... But at that time, I didn't think it was time to find out, so I ...... I went to find the fifth master......"

"I know, you must have your thoughts, and although this child belongs to the two of us, it is your afterlife after all. So, your opinion, I fully support. Zhao Guanhou held Shi Gege's shoulders and comforted

"You don't have to think too much, I won't blame you for having a miscarriage or anything, I want you, not a tool to have a baby. I'm happy to be born, and I don't like it, so it's okay. I just thought, the next time you do something like this, tell me and I'll figure it out. After all, this kind of thing is very dangerous, and if you meet a man who is not good, your life may be lost. Besides, if I knew that you had a miscarriage, I would have made up for your body in Shandong, and I didn't know that you had lost your body and had no ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shigege had already hugged him tightly and buried his head in his arms. She hugged very tightly, and Zhao Guanhou responded with the same strength, and after a long time, Shige said:

"Guanhou...... I...... I'm not a measured woman. In fact, I am jealous of the Su family, and I am also jealous of Jensen, and even Jade, I am actually very jealous. But...... But from today onwards, I will try to learn to live in peace with them and stay together as a husband, not for their sake, but for you...... But you have to promise me that you have to be better than all of them for me, I'm Gege! Although Amma is acting today, after the two of us are together, I am probably not a wild character. I can't help you with anything in the future, don't you ...... Just don't dislike me. The 200,000 silver is my dowry, and you can do a lot of things if you take it out. And I also have some savings of my own, I went back and took it back, and there are tens of thousands of taels, which is enough for you to buy guns and cannons and expand the number of people. If the foreigners really want to fight with us this time, it is the time for the martial artists to gain merit, and you will use the money to run a group training and earn a good reputation back. ”

Zhao Guanhou hugged her for a while, and kissed her lightly on the head, "Yuqing, I don't ask you to help me with anything, I just want you as a person, this heart, not about your money and power." The silver was given to you by the king, and I can't touch it. You keep your self-defense, and the old lady can't be wronged. How to make it, how to make it, you follow me, you don't have to think about saving money, Zhao Guanhou can marry you, and you can raise it. ”

The two whispered for a while, and Yuqing asked, "How do you know that there is a problem in Amma's whip?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of looking at words. If the prince is really angry, this whip will not deliberately avoid you and me, and the meaning of his words is that the imperial court wants to transfer Zhang Hefei back to Beijing to preside over the negotiations, which shows that the situation is more troublesome, and it is not something that a person of my identity can mix. The king's name is expulsion, but it is actually for preservation, since he has the heart of preservation, how can he really drive you out? The old man mentioned the horsewhip a few more times, and it occurred to me that the problem must be in the whip. Besides, from the time the prince entered the house to the end, the whip fell into your hand when it came out of his own hand, and he didn't fake it to others, so you can know that there must be something on the whip. ”

"You've got a lot of eyes." Yuqing rested her head on his shoulder, "Why does Ama have to drive us away, to be honest, I can't figure it out, and I'm a little afraid." ”

"The prince drove us away, I think, the problem is still with me. It's all my fault, who let me offend Duandi, killed his herald, and returned the original order. I fought the big brother again, and the heads of the people who killed the boxers and the people in Shandong were rolling, and the Flying Tiger Regiment and Duandi were all hating me. The prince probably got some news, and he was afraid that I would be harmed, so he urged me to leave quickly, and even blocked the errand for me. Speaking of which, it is still the old man who is facing his uncle, and I have to remember this kindness. It's just a loss to you, and when you go back to Shandong to get married, after all, it can't be compared with going out of the house, and the pomp is much smaller. ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of pomp and circumstance you have, as long as you're here, it's fine. Also, hide it from my mother first, don't let her know, I'm making it for you. ”

The two were talking, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked, Zhao Guanhou was still talking to Shigege, heard the knock, stood up vigilantly, pushed Shigege into the room, and at the same time reached out from under his clothes, holding the gun in his hand.

Gao Jinzhong also knew that there was chaos outside, so he didn't open the door, but raised his knife and asked in the door, "Who?" ”

"Is it Gao Jinzhong's family, ask me, Shigege is not here with you. I am Akdan, the winged commander of the Tiger God Battalion, a good friend of Gege, and I was called by King Qing, and I have something to say back to Gege. ”

Yuqing nodded, Gao Jinzhong removed the latch, slowly pushed open the courtyard door, a middle-aged military attachΓ©, with more than a dozen followers standing outside the door, saluted Gao Jinzhong, and then took a big stride into the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
