Under the apricot tree in front of the yamen of Dali Temple, there is a rare ox cart in the city, and the large and small packages are piled up at will on the car board behind the ox body, and the top is covered with a layer of tarpaulin to cover the rain.

Two old men were sitting in front of the board of the ox cart and talking with their hands crossed.

"Just wait, I didn't lie to you." One of the old men was wearing a thick wool cloak, the original white wool cloak had turned gray, as if he had been on the road for a long time, and his body smelled of dust from top to bottom.

He spoke in a foreign accent that was not a native of Chang'an, and spoke a non-standard official dialect.

Another old man wearing a gray thick jacket sitting on the ox cart heard that his face had already wrinkled, and after hearing him, he said to him with an accent in the countryside outside Chang'an: "Don't forget to give money, it's not easy for me to pull the ox cart to go this way." ”

Qiao Ran followed Xu Hexiu out of the yamen of Dali Temple, and what he saw was such a picture of "old oxcarts in the countryside".

Such a scene of agricultural interest often appears in the paintings of famous painters, but it suddenly appears in front of the yamen of Dali Temple and looks out of place with the surrounding scenery.

Qiao Ran only vaguely felt that one of the old men looked a little familiar with the back, and when he stepped forward, he didn't speak, but the old man was surprised.

"Miss Joe!" He waved his hand twice vigorously and said excitedly, "The old man has come to see you." ”

With this thick Jinling accent, a messy beard that had not been taken care of for a long time, and a face that wrinkled into a ball like a chrysanthemum when he laughed, Qiao Ran was stunned, staring at the gray face that could hardly see its true face, and tentatively spoke: "Doctor Feng? But as soon as this title came out, she seemed to remember something, and emphasized again: "Doctor Feng Jingshan? ”

"Other nobles forget things, but you don't!" Old Doctor Feng, who was named, was excited, turned his head and pointed at Qiao Ran and said to the old man who was driving the ox cart, "Look, I said that this girl is a good girl, you know me!" ”

How can it not be recognized? Qiao Ran said in her heart. This is the old doctor Feng in Jinling who can walk in the woman's boudoir, but has a good character, has not heard the slightest rumor of inappropriateness in decades of medicine, and is known as the holy hand of "gynecology".

Old Doctor Feng's full name is Feng Jingshan, and there is a Doctor Feng in Chang'an who is exactly the same as him, his full name is Feng Yaoshan, and when she saw it for the first time in Chang'an, she was shocked. However, the difference between Dr. Feng in Chang'an and Dr. Feng in Jinling is that he is good at "men's diseases".

One is a gynecological holy hand, and the other is a man's words, such a pair of twin brothers, and they are both doctors, how can they forget?

Anyway, Qiao Ran was always happy to see the old man in Jinling in Chang'an, and before she could speak, she saw the old man driving the car on the side stretched out a hand to her and said, "Twenty taels." ”

Qiao Ran was stunned when she heard this.

Doctor Feng on the side scratched his head a little embarrassed, and explained: "The old man was really tired from rushing to the capital all the way, and when he followed the team to the suburbs of Chang'an, he was already tired and extremely tired. As a result, I took a break outside the city, and while taking a walk after dinner, I accidentally slipped under my feet and fell into the water......"

Seeing that Qiao Ran's face changed suddenly after hearing that he had fallen into the water, Old Doctor Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "But the old man is also good at water, and his skills are acceptable, so he quickly climbed ashore, but the money bag fell into the river and disappeared." The coachman in the caravan only recognized money and not people, so the old man had no choice but to find the ox cart of a nearby farmer and ask him to bring me here to find you. ”

After all, Miss Qiao followed Master Zhen to Dali Temple to be an official, which is something that the whole Jinling City knows, so it is always right to find Miss Qiao and wait for someone at the gate of Dali Temple directly.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Miss Qiao is not there, he really can't find anyone to pay the twenty taels for him, isn't there still Master Zhen? I think that when he was in Jinling, he also saw a doctor for Mrs. Zhen, and I thought that Lord Zhen would not be stingy with the twenty taels.

Qiao Ran was angry and funny when she heard it, but she quickly touched the purse on her waist, picked out a piece of silver taels of about the same weight from the purse and handed it over.

The silver taels were more than twenty taels at a glance, and the old man who was driving the cart suddenly lit up when he saw it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and the originally lazy appearance became enthusiastic, and pulled the tarpaulin to help move the things on the ox cart down.

"It's really honest and honest on the face, but it's actually a traitor." Old Doctor Feng, who saw this enthusiastic move, couldn't help but say to Qiao Ran in the Jinling dialect, "The ox cart actually asked me for twenty taels, if it weren't for those who drove the carriage and refused to give credit, my old man would never have taken his ox cart." ”

After all, he also wants to save face at his age.

Qiao Ran laughed twice and asked Doctor Feng, "Doctor Feng Yaoshan is also in the city, do you want to go over to see him later?" ”

Old Doctor Feng snorted coldly when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if he does, it's okay to see you later." ”

There was something good about that old face, he could see it every day in the mirror.

However, this Miss Qiao, in less than a year's work, has changed a lot, not only is she taller, but her childishness in Jinling has also taken off a lot, and her facial features have become more and more delicate and beautiful, and she has already surpassed Miss Qiao Er back then. With such a look, I don't know which one will be cheaper in the future. Thinking like this, Old Doctor Feng couldn't help but glance at the young student who was helping to unload the goods on the side.

The posterity of the word heard those officials call him "Lord Xu", and he was born well, the key seems to be an honest man who doesn't have any fancy intestines, and he is busy helping to move things and specially picking up heavy lifts, which shows that he is a thoughtful person, but he is a little stupid. Could this be the person Miss Qiao has her eye on? Old Doctor Feng stared at Xu Hexiu and frowned: I don't know if he is old and has a bad memory, but he doesn't look like he looks the same as the one in Jinling!

After moving the goods, the old man who drove the ox cart left happily, leaving only large bags of things all over the ground.

Old Doctor Feng glanced at Xu Hexiu on the side again, seeing that this somewhat stupid offspring hadn't left yet, not only did he not leave, but he also stared at the big bag and kept looking at it, and the guess in his heart became more and more obvious: Could this person really be Miss Qiao's favor! It's not bad, but I don't know why it's a little silly!

Xu Hexiu, who was curiously looking at the large bags and small bags like a mountain in front of him, raised his head after looking at it, and then met the eyes of the old doctor in front of him.

Xu Hexiu, who looked at him with this scrutinizing look, was startled, instinctively looked down at himself, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, he squeezed a smile at Old Doctor Feng.

This dry smiling face makes people even more stupid! Old Doctor Feng turned his head, looking unbearable to look at directly, and turned around to persuade Miss Qiao: This posterior looks stupid, not as good as Jinling, she might as well consider eating Huitou grass.

Not knowing that he was called "stupid" by Doctor Feng, Xu Hexiu did not leave, but waited curiously for Doctor Feng to introduce what he brought.

The old doctor Feng, who had greeted Qiao Ran and talked about some old things in Jinling, finally talked about the things he brought.

"Miss Qiao, don't blame the old man for asking you to advance the twenty taels of silver," Old Doctor Feng pointed to the pile of large and small packages in front of him, and said confidently, "Many of them were brought to you by the old man from others." ”

After all, he had a hard time carrying so many things all the way.

Unexpectedly, after Miss Qiao, the well-known "broom star" in the city, left Jinling, the city was thinking more and more about her, and before he left, he heard her talk about her in the teahouse!

I heard that she investigated many cases in Chang'an, and even dared to investigate the nephew who was the prime minister of the dynasty when he committed something, and she was not afraid of the powerful or something. Of course, the things in the mouth of the teahouse storyteller are always half true and false, the key is that the story is good, and everyone likes it. Like such an investigation official who is not afraid of the powerful, the image of the Lord Qingtian has always been the favorite of the people.

What else did Miss Qiao send to Shanxi Road to investigate the case, and the people of Shanxi Road went all the way to see off, and also entered the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet where His Majesty invited the ministers. That's the end of the day! How many people will never see it in their lifetime!

In short, in the teahouse storyteller's singing and harmony over and over again, this "Miss Qiao", who was avoided by everyone in the past, has already changed her identity. She is still young now, and in the future, no matter how hard she works, she can't guarantee that she won't become the pride of their Jinling City!

The more Doctor Feng wanted to look at the girl's expression, the more satisfied he became: this calm and calm temperament may be the big man in the future!

Qiao Ran, who was secretly expected to become a "big shot", didn't know that she was crowned with such a big expectation, but just lowered her head and opened the package with Xu Hexiu and looked at it.

The packages of Xuanzhenguan are mostly some Xuanzhenguan and Jinling's specialties, and there are also some small bags of grains and grains, which are packaged very exquisitely, and the seal of Xuanzhenguan is also added on them. Thinking about the days when she was not in Jinling, Xuanzhenguan's business was getting better and better. Qiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when she saw it: in addition to most of the food, there were also a few "auspicious copper coins" with the characteristics of Xuanzhenguan, thinking that it was to please her or something.

These things are not valuable objects in terms of value, but they are really courteous and affectionate. Packing up the packages again and moving them aside, Old Doctor Feng picked out a few more packages, pointed to those packages, and said: "This is Qiao Mo, it was prepared by your cousin, he said that he was actually looking for Qiao Zhengyuan before, and his father brought some gifts to you, but I was afraid that his father would not give it to you, so I prepared some more this time, it is said that there are many strange things brought back by the Qiao family's caravan from going to sea, you can take a look!" ”

Qiao Ran hummed and opened the package, which was a neatly stacked wooden box.

There are some women's decorative jewelry, as well as silk cloth, looking at the materials and shapes are unusual things, Qiao Ran couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, and said in her heart that it was really Qiao Mo's handwriting. Every time her cousin sent her back, she was the decoration of these daughters' homes, and she looked like she was afraid that she was not good-looking.

"And ...... This is only a package. After Doctor Feng finished speaking, he picked out a small dusty package and took it out, and then whispered, "This is the Fang family." ”

The Fang family? Qiao Ran, who was packing up the package, couldn't help but be stunned, and even Xu Hexiu, who was helping to move things on the side, stopped, with a little surprise on his face.

Aren't the two of the Fang family in her house? No, no, there are still others in the Fang family, but didn't those few people disappear after they came to Chang'an from Jinling?

Thinking of this, Xu Hexiu's expression was a little subtle, and then he subconsciously glanced at Qiao Ran on the side.

To be honest, this ridiculous and reminiscent thing really makes people feel a little speechless no matter how they think about it. Of course, what is even more ridiculous is the calm reaction of everyone after knowing that those few are gone. Thinking of Mrs. Fang's family who disappeared again, I don't know why, this Fang family seems to be rushing with Chang'an, one is missing, and one is "missing".

Second Mrs. Fang's mother and daughter probably stayed by her side, and they were not missing, but leaving aside the prison, missing, and missing, is there anyone in the Fang family?

There are still. Mrs. Fang San and Miss Fang San seemed to be still in Jinling, and the two young masters of the Fang family seemed to be also in Jiangnan Library, and they hadn't heard about the disappearance.

It seems that as long as the Fang family stays in Jinling well, or follows Master Qiao like Second Lady Fang's mother and daughter, it will probably be fine.

"Then again, Miss Qiao, have you heard about the two masters of the Fang family?" Speaking of the Fang family, Old Doctor Feng from Jinling was obviously more curious than them.

Qiao Ran's eyes flashed slightly, shook his head at Old Doctor Feng, and said, "I don't know!" ”

Old Doctor Feng snorted, nodded, and said: "We in Jinling have rumored that those two bastard masters went to visit the Qinglou on the way to Chang'an, but the prostitute girl didn't give the money, and was beaten by the old bustard of the Qinglou to stay in the Qinglou to pay off the debt, and I don't know if it's true." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Hexiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Old Doctor Feng frowned at Xu Hexiu's actions, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but ask him, "Isn't it?" These two lives are so unpretentious, if they don't sell coolies as turtles, can they still sell their appearance? ”

When Xu Hexiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing anymore, and then said repeatedly: "It's reasonable, what the old doctor said is very reasonable, Xu is convinced." ”

To be a turtle to repay debts, the people of Jinling can figure it out.

Qiao Ran glanced at him, Xu Hexiu covered his mouth, waved his hand at them, and just as the things were moved, he went back to the yamen and smiled.

It was the funniest joke he'd ever heard: enough for him to laugh for days.

After Xu Hexiu left, Qiao Ran asked Old Doctor Feng: "Old Doctor Feng, could it be that this package was given to me by Third Lady Fang?" ”

In her impression, since she tore her face with the Fang family, she had not had any contact with Third Lady Fang, and the only mother and daughter who had contact with Second Lady Fang were still staying in her house!

Old Doctor Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it can't be counted as a gift from Third Lady Fang, it was sent by a few old servants of the Fang family who were betrayed. ”

Old servant of the Fang family? Qiao Ran was a little surprised.

Old Doctor Feng explained: "It's the ones from Beizhuang. After the accident of the Fang family, many houses and fields in the family were returned to the Qiu family, and so was Beizhuang. Because Beizhuang also needs someone to take care of it, those old servants of the Fang family were left by the Qiu family, so they should be regarded as old servants of the Qiu family! This package seems to have been found during the cleaning of the New Year's Pass, I heard that an old servant remembered that it was Miss Qiao's object, and it happened that the people in the city were rumoring that the old man was coming to the capital for the New Year, so the old servants had to come and give me this thing, and asked me to bring it over and return it to you. ”
