Chapter 289: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

The man in the rouge gouache shop was a good gambler, and he cheated Lu Qingqing out of a lot of things, and then ran away with a bunch of foreign debts.

Every day, many people blocked the door of Lu Buqun's house to collect debts, saying that Lu Qingqing and his concubines had defrauded them of a lot of money.

Mrs. Lu's head is big, and the Zhizhou side of Fucheng is no longer there.

She decided to help Lu Qingqing talk about a farther in-law, and marry Lu Qingqing far away as soon as possible, so as to save so many people from coming to the house every day to make trouble.

Mrs. Lu got a portrait of Lu Qingqing from Lu Qingqing and gave it to her sister, asking her sister to help see others.

As a result, the blind date was unsuccessful, but the painting was bought for 2,000 taels, saying that it was a masterpiece of blessing to everyone.

Mrs. Lu was very surprised, "Qing'er, where did you paint that painting, it was sold for two thousand taels, go and paint a few more, and our family will have hope." ”

"Mother, that painting was painted at Liu's house?" Lu Qingqing was very surprised when she heard two thousand taels, but now there is no way to turn back.

Mrs. Lu was a little puzzled, "The Liu family? Which member of the Liu family has that ability? ”

"It's Liu Afu."

Mrs. Liu had a hint of pride on her face: "It seems that I didn't look away at the beginning, I really didn't expect that kid from the Liu family to be a cash cow." ”

"Qing'er, I think that kid from the Liu family may still be thinking about you in his heart, so it's better for us to get along."

Lu Qingqing doesn't think so, if he says that he will leave, he will be reconciled, and if he says he is reconciled, he will be reconciled? How could it be so easy.

After being deceived, Lu Qingqing also regretted it a long time ago, remembering that Ah Fu was really good to her before.

She secretly instructed the maid to go to Liu's house to find Ah Fu yesterday, but Ah Fu heard that it was her, so she didn't come out to see her at all, and it seemed that she was dead to her.

Lu Qingqing has asked people to stay at the door of Liu's house today, and if she sees Ah Fu going out, someone will immediately notify her.

Ah Fu is still helping Feng Wanbao paint a small portrait, although the price is very cheap, but he has nothing to do at home, all as to pass the time.

He painted until the sun set today, and after dinner, he was ready to take the little servant to the Qixi Building to deliver the paintings.

Xiao Qi was also about to go out, and called Ah Fu at the gate: "Brother, are you going to Qixi Building?" It just so happens that I'm going too, so why don't we go together. ”

Ah Fu brought a lot of paintings today, some of which were sent to Xiahou's shopkeeper, and the other part was given to Wanbao Yinlou.

When he walked to the outside of the Qixi Building with Xiao Qi and Laifu, he was stopped by Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing's eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Ah Fu, can't you give me another chance?" ”

Ah Fu turned his face away and didn't look at her: "We have already reconciled, I hope you will do it yourself." ”

Lu Qingqing: "My mother wants to marry me to an old man with gray hair, Ah Fu, do you really bear it?" ”

Xiao Qi saw his brother's sad appearance, afraid that his brother would be soft-hearted again, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, go in quickly!" Boss Feng should be in a hurry. ”

After Ah Fu entered, Xiao Qi was not soft-hearted at all: "Who cried and shouted to leave, my brother doesn't want to see you again, and he won't look back, please save some face for yourself." ”

Lu Qingqing listened to Xiao Qi's words, and ran away crying.

Xiao Qi sighed, walked into the Qixi Building, and was immediately pulled by Hua Xi'er to sit down.

"The matter of going to Jiangnan is imminent, Xiao Qi, have you really decided to go?"

Xiao Qi smiled: "I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, just go to see the scenery of Jiangnan, and by the way, inquire about the news of the master." ”

Soon a delicate-looking maid walked in.

Hua Xi'er: "Xiao Qi, this is Ah Li, she is very familiar with Jiangnan, I asked her to accompany you." ”

"This trip to Jiangnan will trouble you, I will take care of your father and brother."

"With Aunt Xi here, I can rest assured."

After returning home, Xiao Qi told his father and mother that he was going to Jiangnan.

When the Niu family heard that their Xiaoqi was going to take the silver to Jiangnan for disaster relief, he looked at the expression of a fool, "Why did I give birth to a fool like you." ”

"Mother, this matter was decided by several owners of the Qixi Building."

Niu Shi thought that his son Ah Fu was now also one of the owners of Qixi Building, and immediately said, "What? Does this mean that Ah Fu also agreed? Ah Fuyo, how good it is for our family to spend that money. ”

Ah Fu: "Mother, didn't I give you a few thousand taels recently, and together they are more than 10,000 taels, isn't it enough for our family to spend?" ”

Niu pouted: "The more money this thing is, the better, and the fool will dislike the money." ”

Ah Fu: "Mother, if our family is as poor as in Liujia Village before, we will naturally take care of our own family, but we are now very rich and have the ability to help others......

"Where did I, a country woman, know so much, I'm in a bad mood, so I won't tell you."

In fact, Ah Fu is not so enthusiastic about doing good deeds, but he heard that his sister and Aunt Xi had sworn with their master when they were children that they must do their best to help the poor.

Some time ago, Xiao Qi was resigned by the new prefect with Feng Xiaogongzi, so Feng Xiaogongzi knew that Xiao Qi was going to Jiangnan, and he had already discussed with his father Feng Wanbao that he wanted to go to Jiangnan with his master, but Mrs. Feng was unwilling.

Needless to say, Laifu follows Xiao Qi every day, so this time when I go to Jiangnan, Laifu must be counted as one.

Laifu and Ah Li can ride horses, and both of them are better than Xiao Qi, and the three of them each rode a horse and left Pengzhou City.

Because the time is relatively rushed, I stayed all the way, and I drove for five days, and when I was about to arrive in Yangzhou, the sky suddenly rained heavily.

Although there were clothes, the clothes were still drenched, and around noon, the three of them finally came to a grass pavilion outside Yangzhou.

It was also a coincidence that Xiao Qi actually met Mu Zishan in the pavilion, and he was making tea and playing chess with his friends.

Xiao Qi felt that Mr. Storyteller might not have been so coincidental, so she carefully identified it a few times, and there was Ah Mo standing next to Mu Ziqi, yes, it was definitely Mu Zichen.

On a windy and rainy day, I actually boiled tea and played chess and chatted, this day was really ——, should not be very comfortable to make tea and play chess in the pavilion on this rainy day.

Mu Zixi raised his head and was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up and took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Xiao Qi, and handed a cup of hot tea to Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, I didn't expect to meet you here, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up first." ”

"Mu Zixi, didn't you win the champion? Why don't you stay in the capital. "Xiao Qi doesn't know if this counts as a foreign acquaintance.

"I haven't received an official position yet, there has been a big flood in Jiangnan recently, my brother is a magistrate in Qiantang, and my mother asked me to see if there is anyone who can help."

Mu Zishan pointed to the man beside him and said, "This is my friend Changqing, he is from Jiangnan, and he is familiar with Jiangnan." ”

said to Changqing again: "This girl is the famous Seven Women." ”

Changqing hurriedly stepped forward: "It turns out that this girl is the famous Seven Heroines of the North and South of the Great River, and I am fortunate to meet her." ”

Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a red face: "It's over, it's over." ”
