"Jiaojiao asked me out for the county lord's business, right?" Ruan Qing pushed a butterfly pea cake to Huo Shui'er, and the cake was still steaming, exuding a burst of sweet fragrance.

She also heard Qi Baiyan say a few words, and the county lord Jiang Yu is in danger now.

"Ah Qing knows, and I won't hide it anymore." Huo Shui'er's face was quite solemn, "Yu'er is simple, we are very uneasy to come here, the Qi family has many stores in Jiangnan, Xu is ......"

The unfinished meaning in the words, Ruan Qing knows, "What can be taken care of, I can personally bear it." ”

Huo Shui'er also smiled when she heard this, "They have plans, my worries are just mine, Yu'er and I have known each other since we were children, so I really don't feel at ease." ”

A few simple words, in fact, it is an explanation, it has nothing to do with the family, it has nothing to do with the government and the opposition, Huo Shui'er is asking Ruan Qing to take care of his old friend, and Ruan Qing is also a personal promise, that's all.

"Understood." Ruan Qing took a sip of honey water, so sweet that it soaked into her heart. "Jiaojiao thinks that she is very affectionate."

"It's just a matter of a few words." She was about to say something, but was interrupted by a commotion outside.

"What's going on out there?" Ruan Qing frowned and asked.

"Back to the girl, it seems that there is a conflict between the two guests outside." The little maid replied through the beaded curtain, mixed with the sound of breaking cups.

After about half an hour, there was still a lot of trouble outside.

This teahouse is the property of the Qi family, and if someone makes trouble, Ruan Qing is naturally concerned.

"Why don't I accompany Ah Qing to have a look?" Huo Shui'er knew that because she was also here, Ruan Qing probably felt that it was impolite to leave herself to deal with private affairs.

Ruan Qing smiled gratefully, and while walking out, she was worried again, "On such an occasion, Jiaojiao may not be suitable for it." ”

They reached the middle of the stairs and saw the two sides of the commotion.

Ruan Qing was puzzled, "Isn't this the elder brother of the Zhang family, he is the most polite on weekdays, how can he have a conflict with others?" ”

"The Zhang family? Which Zhang family?" When Huo Shui'er heard the surname Zhang, she was always sensitive.

Ruan Qing suddenly remembered that the mother of the Huo family girl seemed to be from the Zhang family.

That's it, maybe it's fate, I met it today, and it's not something to be avoided. "That's what Jiaojiao thought."

After Ruan Qing finished speaking, he stepped forward and separated the two, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Zhiyan saw Ruan Qing coming over, and arched his hand, "Sister Ruan, you see, the little girl is crying miserably, this man has to say that he is the little girl's relative, and he wants to take the child away, if it is a relative, why does the child refuse to go with him?" ”

It turned out that Zhang Zhiyan was hiding behind a little girl, her eyes were red, her face was pale, and she seemed to be very frightened.

"Girl, you come to judge, why can't my child be taken away?"

"You said that this child belongs to yours, do you have any evidence?" Huo Shui'er also went down the stairs, if Huo Shui'er guessed correctly, Zhang Zhiyan should be her cousin.

"I naturally have evidence, I even know this child's birth date, what am I afraid of?" The fat man seemed to be very confident.

"He's right?" Huo Shui'er squatted down and looked at the little girl.

Maybe Huo Shui'er had some encouragement in his eyes, and the child had a bag of tears in his eyes, "Yin Yin doesn't know how he knows Yin Yin's birthday, but Yin Yin really doesn't know him." ”

"Don't be afraid." Huo Shui'er blocked the child behind him.

"If you have to say that this child is yours, then follow us to the government."

"Why should I go to the government with you?" The fat man's eyes wandered, obviously scared. Just now, Zhang Zhiyan confronted him for so long, and he kept pulling that little girl, thinking that he was just a scholar.

Now that things are in trouble, he has the desire to run away in his heart.

"You've smashed so many things on me." Ruan Qing reacted extremely quickly, and immediately there were stout slaves surrounding the fat man.

He puffed out his two big eyes and pointed a finger at Yin Yin, "You dead girl, you wait, I'll go back to your father and mother to teach you a lesson." ”

While talking, it looks like he wants to run.

"Stop him!"

"You can't send me to the government, your Qi family and the government are wearing a pair of pants!" When the man saw that he couldn't run away, he scolded him.

"You don't want to bite the Qi family!" Zhang Zhiyan was originally appeasing the child, but when he heard this, he took a few steps forward, "My surname is Zhang Zhiyan, this lawsuit is your business and mine, and it has nothing to do with the Qi family!" ”

"Do you think you're going to have a lawsuit today?" Ruan Qing also sneered, "You have all seen it, the son of the Zhang family didn't do it just now, you smashed so many things in my teahouse, don't you pay for it?" ”

"You, you're clearly in a group!" The fat man was so angry that he wanted to kidnap a child, but he got into trouble.

"You are so messy and messy, since you said that this is your child, what are you afraid of going to an official mansion?" Some of the bystanders couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to accuse the man.

"That is, who doesn't know that Zhang Zhiyan is upright, how can he provoke for no reason?"

"You still say that the Qi family is not good, the Qi family gives porridge in the north of the city every year, what have you done?"

As soon as you said a word, the man's face turned blue and white for a while, as if he had overturned the color palette.

No matter what, he still has to be sent to the government.

Ruan Qing is a woman after all, and it would damage her reputation to talk to others in court, so Zhang Zhiyan refused her request to go all the way to the official office.

"Sister of the Ruan family, and this girl, thank you today, this child is taken care of by you, that wicked man, it is enough for me to confront him."

"Brother Zhang, I'll find a smarter long-term companion and go all the way with you."

Zhang Zhiyan did not refuse this kindness, there are people from the Qi family all the way, even if he is reasonable, he has to say something better.

After a thousand words, I still say thank you, "Thank you." ”

When his crow-blue figure disappeared at the door of the teahouse, everyone dispersed, each drinking their own tea.

Huo Shui'er and Ruan Qing went upstairs before lowering their voices, "He, is he my cousin?" ”

"Hmm." Ruan Qing handed Huo Shui'er a glass of honey water, "But, Jiaojiao, you should know that you are not suitable to recognize him now." ”

Huo Shui'er took a sip of water, and forcibly suppressed the happy and curious psychology in her heart, "I know...... Can you tell me what the Zhang family is like? ”

"Integrity and kindness." Ruan Qing was silent for a long time, but still only gave four words.

The Zhang family is full of scholars, no one does evil things, no one is a bastard, and the whole family is clear. It is a rare family style and inheritance.

"You also saw it, the elder brother of the Zhang family, Duanfang, is famous in Jinling."

"So...... It's good. Huo Shui'er lowered her head and smiled, her mother's family was really outstanding.

"Jiaojiao doesn't have to worry, and she will have the opportunity to reunite with her family in the future." Ruan Qing also lost her relatives, and she understands Huo Shui'er's feelings very well.

Even if her father left early and she was taken home by her aunt, she would still worry about whether the Ruan family was doing well.

The matter of blood relationship was originally connected.
