Chapter 022: Turning the Road to Pingyang
The three of them left the firewood room, and Zhu Hongwen scolded and said, "Hmph, didn't you already say it, how could Qiao Zhijie be like this?" ”
Liu Banxian hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Master Zhu, don't say anything more!" At this moment, you and I are in the cottage, if Qiao Zhijie and Qin Xuan are forced to share the same hatred, then wouldn't your and my lives be in danger? ”
Zhu Hongwen snorted coldly: "Isn't Qiao Zhijie worried about his father? ”
Liu Banxian despised Zhu Hongwen for a while in his heart, still with a gentle expression, shook his head and explained: "If the thief is afraid of the government, he is not a thief!" ”
Zhu Hongwen wanted to continue speaking, but Qiao Zhijie's voice came from behind him. "What are you two talking about?"
Zhu Hongwen looked displeased, stood with his sleeves brushed, looked at Qiao Zhijie, and said nothing. Liu Banxian replied with a smile: "Isn't this that things have changed, and the two of us are unwilling!" ”
Qiao Zhijie's eyes blinked, and he secretly said in his heart: Don't these two people still want to continue to persecute those people? This time, the mother will inevitably accompany her, and if these two people are allowed to strike again, they will inevitably hurt the mother. Thinking clearly, Qiao Zhijie raised his hand and saluted: "This matter is over, I will bother the two of you to give Qiao a certain face, rest in the cottage for a few days, and wait for the mother to leave, and then you will go down the mountain!" ”
Zhu Hongwen's atmosphere was uneven, and he said sharply: "Qiao is in charge!" This time, you have reversed course, don't you want to hinder the two of us? Aren't you worried about talking about this matter to the master? ”
Qiao Zhijie showed a hint of a smile. "I will talk about this matter with my eldest brother, so I won't bother Zhu Gongzi!"
Zhu Hongwen was so angry that he pointed at Qiao Zhijie for a long time and only said "you-".
Liu Banxian hurriedly said peacefully: "Since Song Dangjia opened his mouth, then how could the two of us refute your face!" ”
Zhu Hongwen snorted coldly and left. Qiao Zhijie said in his heart: Such a vision is really a waste of such a background!
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
After Qiao Zhijie and the three left, the old woman hugged Rui'er and sat on the weedy mound with Qin Xuan, and the scene suddenly became cold. After a cup of tea, Qin Xuan finally couldn't help but take the lead in speaking, staring at Zhang Lao and the old woman with a wicked smile: "Uncle, it's your fault this time, why don't you introduce your aunt to us?" Is it because you and I are not bloodlined, so you don't treat me as your own nephew? ”
When the old woman heard Qin Xuan's words, a burst of sweetness welled up in her heart, her face glowed red, and she buried her head in coaxing Rui'er to sleep. Zhang Lao was also quite embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Hey, I never thought that I could meet Zhen'er in this life, so I didn't mention these sad things to you." You-" Zhang Lao wanted to say "your aunt" bluntly, but he was a little nervous in an instant, paused slightly, and then said stubbornly: "Your aunt's real name is Du, her name is Huizhen, and like me, she is from Pingyang County, Fenzhou!" ”
Du Huizhen gently patted Rui'er, who was already asleep, and secretly looked at Zhang Lao, a little shy, and didn't say a word.
When Qin Xuan heard the reply here, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle, aren't you from Guangling?" ”
Zhang Lao shook his head and explained: "No, at that time, the war was chaotic, and I fled to avoid disaster, so I arrived in Guangling!" ”
Du Huizhen raised her head, stretched out her hand to brush the bun around her ear, and asked gently: "Yuan Han, tell me how you have come over all these years!" ”
Zhang Lao saw that Rui'er was already asleep, and said slowly: "That year, after being rejected by my brother Du Mingcheng, I was depressed and left Pingyang. It happened that the government was recruiting soldiers everywhere, and I was a little scared, so I fled. He was injured on the way, and he often had no preserved fruits, and finally fainted in Guangling Mountain. ”
When Du Huizhen heard this, she asked eagerly, "What about later?" ”
Zhang Lao raised his head slightly, looked at the roof of the firewood house, and then said: "It can be regarded as my life, I happened to meet Uncle Sun and his daughter who went up the mountain to collect medicine!" The two of them were kind-hearted, and when they saw that I still had breath, they rescued me home. Under Ping'er's meticulous care, I recovered in just a few days. Thinking that he had no part in your fate, he and Ping'er broke the siege and helped them up, and they also had a son. What can I do, Ping'er had a difficult birth, met Dahong and died, and Uncle Sun also died of depression due to the loss of his beloved daughter. Speaking of this, Zhang Lao was already in tears, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and then said: "After that, I named my son Zhang An and prayed that he would be safe for the rest of his life." It was inconvenient to walk with An'er, so I settled down in Zhangjiazhuang. ”
When Du Huizhen heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable, slightly reprimanded, and said weakly: "Yuan Han, how can you be so confused, if you made it clear to me at that time, even if it is the end of the world, I will walk with you!" ”
Zhang Lao coughed lightly and said, "Forget it, it's a thing of the past, didn't I stand in front of you today!" By the way, how did you get here after I left? Why did you come to Qingya Peak? ”
Du Huizhen sighed and said: "Since you left, my brother had to send me to Qiao Lei, the chief bookkeeper of Pingyang County, as a concubine in order to keep the Du family. I am disheartened, and I miss you very much, and I am getting haggard day by day. Qiao Lei was only trying to be fast for a while, and within three years, he stopped paying attention to me, and when Jie'er grew up, he drove my mother and son out of the house! Thanks to Jer'er's good friends, he has a deep relationship with Xin'er, so he took me to Xin'er. Later, Qiao Lei harmed Xin'er again, and we fell to this point! ”
Seeing that the second elder became more and more sad the more he talked, Qin Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't mention the past, it's useless to talk about it, but it will only increase sadness." In the future, we will live happily as a family! As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Ruyu. In the future, Yu'er and I will take good care of you two elders, right, Yu'er! ”
When Qian Ruyu heard Qin Xuan's words, she pouted, and said secretly in her heart: This dead man, how can he say this, he knows how to bully me all day long! Turning her head shyly.
Huan'er on the side was damaged by Qin Xuan, and then Qin Xuan's words, said: "That's natural, my young lady is gentle and virtuous, and she will be your family in the future." As for me, I am also a descendant of your family, we are all a family! ”
Qian Ruyu slapped Huan'er with disgust, and said shyly: "Huan'er-"
Qin Xuan knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it. "Okay, don't laugh, we're leaving tomorrow, now hurry up and rest!"
When Zhang Lao heard this, he asked Du Huizhen: "Zhen'er, it's better to call Shangzhijie, or you should worry about him again!" ”
Du Huizhen bit her lip and said, "Jie'er, he will definitely not leave!" With Xin'er here to take care of him, I can rest assured! ”
Zhang Lao looked at Du Huizhen and said, "Why don't we go back to Pingyang together?" ”
Du Huizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not very good!" ”
Qin Xuan saw that Du Huizhen was actually willing, but he was afraid that he had some scruples, so he said: "Okay! With this arrangement, let's go to Binh Duong tomorrow! ”
Dawn came slowly, and Qin Xuan and the others also got up early to prepare to leave. Qiao Zhijie, together with Guan Xin and Hong Lianwu, came to see off a group of thieves.
Du Huizhen was a little sad, but simply asked Qiao Zhijie a few words, and then got into the carriage with Zhang Lao. Qin Xuan stepped forward and whispered in Qiao Zhijie's ear, "Brother Qiao, don't go down the mountain to rob again, wait for my news, I will definitely let you get rid of the thief and become a naturalized citizen!" After finishing speaking, before Qiao Zhijie came to his senses, he got into the carriage and drove the carriage away.
Because Zhu Hongwen and Liu Banxian were detained in the cottage, Qin Xuan and the others did not encounter any twists and turns along the way. The only regret is that in order to cross the Yellow River, the carriage that accompanied him for more than a month had to be sold. After crossing the river, he could only follow the carriage and horse to Binh Duong slowly.
After more than a month, Qin Xuan and the others finally entered Pingyang County. The group walked on the bluestone street in Pingyang, talking and laughing, quite pleasant.
Suddenly, the pedestrians on the street were hurrying forward, and Huan'er asked curiously, "Why are these pedestrians hurrying to the front?" ”
Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, and slandered in his heart: Could it be that Zhu Hongwen is here again?
Li Qingrui was a smart person, and directly stopped a middle-aged man who was in a hurry, and asked, "Brother Tai, what's going on ahead, why are everyone rushing there!" ”
"Overlord Flower is arguing with a young lady, who wouldn't watch this kind of excitement?" The middle-aged man, leaving such a sentence, strode away.
Huan'er jumped up and down excitedly, looked at Qin Xuan and the others, and proposed, "Let's go and see the excitement too!" ”
Before everyone could speak, Rui'er popped out a sentence: "Curiosity kills cats!" ”
Everyone was happy, Qin Xuan was able to apply what he had learned and put into practice the stories he told on the road. Huan'er twisted Rui'er's ears and said viciously: "Rui'er, you kid, have you also learned to bully your aunt?" ”
Rui'er grinned painfully and begged: "Aunt Huan'er, Rui'er knows that she is wrong, if you don't let go, Rui'er's ears will run away from home!" ”
Everyone laughed again, and Qin Xuan stepped forward to persuade: "Okay, Huan'er, Rui'er is right!" However, it's been more than a month, and nothing has happened, and now you just get your wish! ”
Seeing that Qin Xuan agreed, Huan'er happily pulled Rui'er and followed the pedestrians forward, and everyone shook their heads and followed forward.
There are three floors inside and three layers outside, and the two girls are surrounded by a group. Before Qin Xuan and the others squeezed in, they heard a very arrogant voice shouting: "Hmph, you don't inquire, in Pingyang, who doesn't know my overlord flower!" If you dare to quarrel with me, you have found the right person! ”
Then there was another voice that did not admit defeat: "Pingyang Overlord Flower? Hum! Miss Ben is in a bad mood today, I hope you don't anger me! ”
Qin Xuan and the others struggled and finally squeezed inside. Qin Xuan fixed his eyes and saw that he was wearing a pale pink dress, which was long and dragged to the ground, and his thin waist was restrained by a cloud belt, which showed that he was not holding a hand, and his face was delicate, he was really a beauty embryo. But looking at this shape, Qin Xuan was speechless. With her hands on her hips and her toes high, how can there be a dignified appearance of an ancient woman! Look at the other one, a white dress is ankle-length, the skirt is embroidered with pink patterns, bright eyes and teeth, flowers and moon appearance, if you don't see her quarrel with the woman in pink, maybe how many people will mistake it for a fairy to go down to earth? Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Where is this quarrel, this is simply a shrew scolding the street!
