There was no one in the hall, Lian Zhenyun and Li Siqin heard it at the same time, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, Li Siqin laughed and said, "Where is it?" Qi San, where is that kid? ”

Qi Qiang took two steps up the steps, arched his hand and said with a smile: "Even the boss, the fourth brother Li, I haven't seen you for two years, do you remember my brother?" ”

Li Siqin saw Qi Qiang, his eyes lit up, he rushed up and smashed his chest with a punch, and scolded: "Tell you to stay in Qinghe and run with us, you have to refuse, what do you say that you are used to it, you can't stand the rules in the gang, grandma's, the rules in Brother's Mansion are not bigger than ours here?" Why did you kid suffer it again? ”

Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lian Zhenyun, and said with a smile: "You are so spiritual, how do you know that I have become a minion?" That's hard to say, and you have to bear it if you can't stand it! ”

Li Siqin laughed, dragged Qi Qiang to the hall, sat down on the left chair, and shouted to call someone to drink. Lian Zhenyun said with a smile: "What's the hurry, his temperament, where is he willing to sit here and drink." Turning his head to look at Qi Qiang, "Your good friend on the back street of Qinghe that year, named Aunt Yun, was redeemed by a big family surnamed Xu in Qinghe, and he entered the door to become an aunt, but now I can't see it." ”

Qi Qiang didn't remember who Aunt Yun was, he only heard the "big family surnamed Xu", remembered what Chen Yan said, secretly looked at Lian Zhenyun's expression, and smiled indifferently: "Since she is good, it is a good thing." My appearance is much better, and I don't have to worry about having nowhere to sleep. ”

Lian Zhen's face relaxed slightly, laughed, and patted his arm, "I heard that Brother Jiu values you very much, why do you have time to come and see us?" ”

Qi Qiang smiled unhurriedly: "My sister-in-law married to Qinghe County, I rushed to see if she was bullied by her uncle, and I thought that you were here, and I happened to get together together." ”

Lian Zhenyun's expression was relaxed, but his heart was tight, and he was about to speak, when Li Siqin next to him already shouted: "Your sister-in-law? Could it be that the mother-in-law is really your sister-in-law? ”

Qi Qiang jumped up, glared and said, "Who are you calling a big worm!" My sister has a name, a surname and a husband, she looks good, and her temperament is better, what do you call it? Watch out for me turning my face! ”

Li Siqin was stunned by his scolding, touched his head and sneered: "What are you anxious about?" Isn't it called me getting used to it, besides, your sister didn't say anything about me......"

Qi Qiang took a sip and squinted at him, "How do you know my sister?" You kid loves to raise concubines outside, dare to think crookedly about my sister, see if I don't beat you flat! ”

Li Siqin's face turned red, and he said angrily: "She is an adult wife, what can I think crookedly!" Besides, she is so spicy, I don't dare to ask her! ”

Qi Qiang laughed and said proudly: "My sister-in-law has a stake," patted his head, and asked, "I am asking you something, after my sister-in-law got married, how did my brother-in-law treat her?" I'm afraid I can't ask at home, there is some rumor in your county, right? ”

Li Siqin snorted, "Didn't you say that your sister was at stake?" What are you worried about? You put one hundred and twenty hearts, your sister-in-law eats your brother-in-law to death, saying that one is one, saying two is two, if you don't dare to pick the moon from the stars, twenty-four filial piety is not as good as your brother-in-law! ”

Lian Zhenyun heard the nonsense between the two, and got up first and shouted to the outside: "Dahe, go to Sister Gui'er's house in the back street to make an appointment, tell them to prepare for their lives, I and the second master, and the third master of Qi will arrive on the back foot." The other brothers on duty should also go down and rest. Listening to the people outside scattered, Fang turned his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, you have to put away this nonsense when you drink, your sister is also a county lady, and she usually regards her reputation as bigger than the sky, and the one in the private house has no mouth to cover, so they listen to it and spread it, you pat your ass and leave, but we are angry." ”

Qi Qiang was bored and said: "Tell her not to marry the official road, she will die, I didn't look at it for a while, three teas and six ceremonies, the flowers and candles in the cave room will be done in a blink of an eye, and she will stay in the back house all day long." If she marries Luo Shiqing, who is in the Changzhou Gang, speaks loudly as usual, drinks and plays with money, who will say a word about her? ”

Li Siqin was taken aback, "Your sister used to be good with Changzhou Luo Sanxiang?" ”

Qi Qiang shook his head and said, "Luo San took a fancy to my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law didn't respond." He sighed for a long time: "I've done my best, but Luo San still didn't let my sister care, what didn't I like?" I met Luo San a while ago, and he asked me this when he was drunk, and I still asked! ”

Lian Zhenyun said slowly: "Xu is that she looks more decent as an official wife......"

Qi Qiang waved his hand, "She, like me, is the most annoyed by being restrained and following the rules," looked at Li Siqin and said with a smile: "When I was at home, those Caoshang brothers in Gaoyou Changzhou drank with her at the same table and played with money at the same table, and there are still people asking her." It's a pity that now that my sister-in-law is married, she must marry her husband, otherwise I will bring her with me this time, lest you say that I favor one over the other and do not give you convenience. ”

Li Siqin was stunned for a long time, but he laughed loudly, "I didn't say it, your words are enough for brotherhood." The county lord is a good person, and he treats her well, and I don't have anything to say. ”

Lian Zhenyun stood up from the chair, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Sister Gui'er's house is the most popular private house on the back street, not only does Sister Gui'er look good, she also has a little sister named Yue Hook'er, who looks like and plays cards, and can play the piano and play cards, what a stunner, she is seventeen years old this year and has not broken her body, if you like it, you can comb her tonight." ”

Qi Qiang laughed and said: "Yes, with your words, I want to see what that stunner looks like......" The three of them came out of the hall, helped the people to lead out of the horse, lit the corner lamp, hugged each other, and went to the back street of the county.

Qi Su Niang put the lamp in her hand, put the old cotton clothes drying in the yard into the bottom of the box, returned to the hall, looked at the table full of dishes, waited and waited, and did not see Chen Yan and Qi Qiang come back, thinking about An Sheng in the ear room, took some food and packed a food box, and walked to the middle door ear room.

An Sheng was changing his clothes and was about to go out to eat, when he heard Qi Su Niang calling his name, he hurriedly opened the door, took the food box handed over by Qi Su Niang, and thanked him with a smile. He watched Qi Su Niang take the empty box at noon, and then found the clothes he changed to take away the pulp and wash, turned his head to go back to the backyard, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Grandma doesn't have to wait for the uncle today, it's serious to call the uncle back to the hall for dinner." ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned her head, glanced at An Sheng, and couldn't help sighing: "Where did you go?" What kind of friends are you having fun with? ”

An Sheng said with a smile: "Uncle didn't dare to let my aunt and grandmother know, and the little guess mostly went to Sister Gui'er's house in the back street of the county." This time, the friends are also serious, they are the two leaders of the Qinghe Cao Gang, who were former friends of the uncle, and one of them heard that Fang won the title of alternate Wei Qianzong. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, and said to herself: "It's them?" It's only the first day, and there is always some reason why I am so anxious to find the door. He looked up and smiled at An Sheng: "You eat it while it's hot, I'll go to the hall." ”

An Sheng hurriedly responded, Qi Su Niang walked to the door, turned around, took out two melon seeds from his sleeve, and stuffed them into An Sheng's hand, "My brother has been outside this year, and you have taken care of it, so he should rest." He's a casual one, he doesn't talk about those rules in private, you can relax with me, and it's up to you to go to the tea shop outside to eat fruit and listen to books, just don't go to those places to play, how old are you, don't learn bad from your uncle. Don't spend this money indiscriminately, keep it for your future daughter-in-law. ”

An Sheng thanked him repeatedly, Qi Su Niang touched his head, sighed, and said, "This year, your uncle is outside, have you met a woman from a good family who you like?" Or is it a fan who intends to be good? ”

An Sheng thought for a while and said: "My aunt and grandmother know the uncle, and she loves to play on the scene to have fun, and to be lively, there are many things this year, in addition to social affairs, these places are also less, and the female uncle in it is not taken to heart." If it is said that it is a woman from a good family, but there is no one, but there is a girl, whose origin is not clear, and the uncle has been chattering for a while. ”

Qi Su Niang said happily: "What kind of girl is there, what is her appearance and temperament?" Tell me more about it. If he takes a fancy to him, I will immediately ask someone to ask for a kiss. ”

An Sheng was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, don't worry, you can understand after listening to the villain." The girl originally lived in an alley by the Qinhuai River in Jiangning City, the uncle arrived in Jiangning last month, and went to the river house restaurant on both sides of the Qinhuai River to be happy, and walked to the alley after dispersing early in the morning, and watched a lone woman open the door to do some needle work, thinking that it was the sister who opened the private door, so she went up to talk, but she didn't expect to be scolded by her scolding her head and covering her face, poured a basin of washing water, and drove away. Uncle was worried about it at the time, and he even went a few times, but he couldn't get a good face. Later, I was too busy to take care of it, so I had to throw it away, but I didn't expect to have time again, and someone had already gone to the empty building. When I inquired about the neighborhood, I only said that it was a person who cheated money and escaped marriage, and her husband's family was a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and she was sued in the yamen, and the pursuers found it. Fortunately, she was clever and escaped through the back door early, and no one knew her whereabouts. The uncle regretted it very much, and he also inquired for a while, but to no avail. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned when she heard this, she felt that this woman sounded familiar, but she didn't recognize such a woman who cheated money and escaped marriage, because she didn't know the origin, she didn't know where to start, so she had to give up and go out to the front hall.
