"Mr. Qian, open the door! Mr. Qian ......"

Yueji shouted loudly into the fence door, her eyes peeking in through the gap. Seeing a few low thatched houses, Yueji's heart suddenly felt sour, and she was a little disgusted that she shouldn't have given Miss such an idea. At that time, Miss Hu Manyun also looked in through the fence door, but she did not have any frustration and loss, perhaps the love in her heart gave her strength, but also confused her mind. She can almost ignore the extreme lack of material, as long as she can see the money boy in her heart.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps, and sure enough, Mr. Qian came over and opened the door.

At that moment, Hu Manyun was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Qian Gongzi rubbed his eyes, and looked at the two men in front of him in the moonlight, feeling familiar but a little weird.

"Mr. Qian, why are you in a daze? It's us. This is my young lady......"

"Ahh Oh, sorry, I'm really sorry. It's just that the eyes are clumsy and stupid, and I didn't recognize it as Miss Hu for a while. Hurry up, please come in, please come in. ”

It was a little cold outside, and Qian Gongzi motioned for them to go into the room, but he, who was full of poetry and books, would not directly ask why the two of them came to visit late at night? Even if the moment he saw Hu Manyun, he was already excited, but he would not show it on his face.

The westernmost side of the thatched house was separated by a separate door, and Mr. Qian directly pushed the door to lead them in, because it was his living place, and he didn't want to disturb his parents in the middle of the night, so he could only bring guests into this room.

Walking into that room, Hu Manyun realized for the first time what poverty is. It was a small space, with only a broken bed and old tables and chairs, and a kerosene lamp hanging from the rough adobe wall, only the light the size of a fly's head. The bed was covered with a shabby cotton bedding, and near the corner of the bed lay some coarse cloth clothes that were difficult to get into the house.

The most eye-catching thing in the whole room is that there are three-foot-high books piled up on the table, and some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. This area should be the treasures that the owner is most proud of, and it seems that he has a house of gold, and it is in the book and in his heart.

"Miss, please ......"

Before Qian Gongzi's word "sit" was spoken, Hu Manyun was already sitting on the edge of the big bed, and put down the red silk package on his shoulder. The maid Yueji also put down the package and sat next to the young lady, and the two gasped together. The second lady usually goes out in a carriage or a sedan chair, and even the maid Yueji has always been with the young lady, and has never walked such a long way.

"The two of you will rest for a while, and I'll go make a pot of hot tea and come back."

Qian Gongzi looked at their tired appearance and hurriedly prepared to boil water and make tea.

"Hey, it's not okay to just drink tea, our young lady has been bumpy all the way, and she has been hungry for a long time. And me...... I'm so hungry that my heart is close to my back! ”

Yueji looked at Miss Hu Manyun, pointed at herself, and pouted as if she was full of grievances.

Qian Gongzi smiled and nodded, "I'll prepare some food, it's just ...... Coarse tea and light rice, Miss Wang, don't dislike it. ”

Hu Manyun didn't speak, just smiled. Because at that moment, her mood was very complicated, and looking at this family that could no longer be described as depressed and destitute, her heart was very uncomfortable. She didn't dislike it, her first thought was how to help the family? How to help Mr. Qian? She subconsciously touched the bag with jewelry, thinking about how many silver taels could be sold?

"Hey, hey, hey, a white bun, two home-cooked stir-fried are always there, right?"

Yueji's words can make Qian Gongzi embarrassed. His family eats cornmeal and sorghum flour all year round, and a bite of radish and cabbage is a meal. As for white noodles, they are only willing to buy a few catties during the New Year's holiday. But after a moment of contemplation, he nodded. After all, it was the first time for Miss Hu to come, and he still had to try to prepare a little bit of food. So, he turned around and went out the door, and had to go to his parents' room.

"Yueji, tomorrow morning, you will inquire where there are bigger pawnshops?"

Hu Manyun looked at Yueji and said seriously.

"Ahh Miss, do you really want to sell your jewelry for him? A home like theirs seems to be a bottomless pit! ”

Yueji observed the room again, shaking her head and saying.

"Now that you've decided to spend your life here, you should find a way to change that."

Hu Manyun is still very serious, and the maid is a little anxious now. She instigated Miss to run away from marriage, but she didn't intend to let Miss stay at Qian's house directly, she had already designed a complete plan. Now, looking at Miss Hu Manyun's desperate expression, she had to make plans and make plans in advance.

"Miss, that's what I think......"

Yueji whispered her plan in Hu Manyun's ear, and then looked at Hu Manyun, her cheeks instantly turned red, and she just wanted to cover her face shyly.

"No, no, it's not decent to marry a son!"

"Oops! Miss, it's all come to this point, and you still have decency? You ran away from marriage late at night and came to Qian's house, didn't you just want to stay with Mr. Qian! Miss, listen to my plan. I believe that as long as you are pregnant with the blood of Mr. Qian, when the time comes, the prince's mansion will propose to withdraw from the marriage. And in order to save face, the master will definitely agree to your marriage with Mr. Qian, and then let you marry into the Qian family in a beautiful manner, and then the dowry will be much more valuable than these pieces of jewelry. ”

"How can it be so simple? No, no. ”

Hu Manyun still shook his head, refusing to accept the maid's suggestion. Their master and servant had been arguing in the room for a long time, and Qian Gongzi had already brought two bowls of steaming noodle soup with oil stars and green onion flowers floating on them, which he had let his mother make with the only little white noodles in the family, full of the simplicity of the poor family and revealing their hardships.

Hu Manyun took the bowl of noodles, and tears almost overflowed. There wasn't even a dining table in this room, so she could only endure the heat at the bottom of the bowl, just holding it with one hand and chopsticks in the other.

"I'm going to get some tea."

Qian Gongzi said and turned around and went out, and when he came back, he brought a bench with both hands balanced, on which a teapot and three tea bowls were laid flat. It seems that man's wisdom in difficult situations is infinite!

The bench was laid flat in front of Hu Manyun, and Mr. Qian suggested that they put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands for the time being to dissipate heat. Then, he poured a bowl of tea for Miss Hu Manyun. The maid Yueji said with displeasure: "What about mine? Hey, forget it, I'll do it myself. Also, you don't understand the rules of our young lady's tea. This is the first cup of tea...... He always poured it out, and only drank the tea I poured it. ”

Yueji said and picked up the tea in front of the young lady, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Just when Qian Gongzi was overwhelmed with surprise, she took the opportunity to take out a packet of powdered things from the inverted pocket in her sleeve and poured it into the teapot.

"Yueji you?"

Hu Manyun glared at the maid Yueji, trying to blame her for a few words, but Yueji ignored her.

"Miss, please."

Yueji handed the full hot tea to the young lady, then poured a second bowl, and finally was her own.

"Mr. Qian, please for this bowl of tea. I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow your tea to pay tribute to you, and thank you for taking in our master and servant. ”

"Okay, okay."

At that moment, Qian Gongzi was probably attracted by Hu Manyun under the lamp and his different beauty, so he drank the bowl of tea without thinking. Then, he continued to stare at Hu Manyun opposite.

"Miss, you drink too! Let's use tea instead of wine to toast the young man! ”

Yueji's urging, Hu Manyun ignored it, because she had already guessed that the tea had been tampered with. So, she picked up the bowl of noodle soup and chewed it slowly......

The maid Yueji quietly turned around and poured out her bowl of tea, quietly observing the changes of the two people in front of her.

Before he finished eating a bowl of noodles, Hu Manyun already felt dizzy, and soon closed his eyes and fainted.

"Miss Hu, are you ...... What is this...... Why do I feel hot? ”

Mr. Qian was talking to himself.

The maid Yueji saw the effect of the two people attacked, and she was overjoyed. She blew out the oil lamp on the wall and quietly exited the room.

Man Yun ...... Man Yun, I have been thinking about you for a long time, and I hope that one day you will come to me...... Now, you're finally here. I...... We...... Don't let this good night down, okay? I'm coming......"

Qian Gongzi's temperament suddenly changed greatly, and he was like the gentle and elegant man before. He got up suddenly, picked up Hu Manyun and put him on the big bed......
