Chapter 18: The Beggar Seventh Uncle
Qi Jingxing's mouth was terrible, and the taste of sugar and salt mixed together, making him want to vomit.
No wonder this woman was still angry before, and turned her head to save herself with medicine. Finally broke free, spit out the contents of his mouth, and hurriedly picked up the water on the side and drank it.
"Hahahaha." Shen Youqiu laughed and trembled on the side, "Chili water, sugar sprinkled with salt, how do you like these things I prepared for you?" ”
"The most poisonous woman's heart!" Qi Jingxing's mouth is now bitter, astringent and spicy.
"Qiuqiu, what's wrong with you?" Mo Shi heard the movement and walked in, and saw Shen Youqiu laughing on the side and couldn't straighten up, while Qi Jingxing was so red that he walked over and grabbed Shen Youqiu's ear, and reprimanded, "You girl, what are you doing badly." ”
"Look at me if I don't teach you a good lesson today." Mohs tugged at her ears as he walked outside.
At this time, the morning sun was just right, Qi Jingxing was half-leaning on the bed, looking through the window, looking outside Shen Youqiu, who was listening to Mo's reprimand with his head down, listening to the conversation between the two, the sun was shining in the courtyard, it was so beautiful.
At this time, there are no conspiracies and tricks in the capital, there is no power and wealth, and his heart is extremely peaceful, at this moment, Qi Jingxing actually has an impulse, if only he could always be Lu Zhixing.
Lei Yan was temporarily sent back to the Qian family by Qi Jingxing, firstly, he asked him to stare at the former young master, so as not to go crazy and rob Shen Youqiu again, and secondly, the two of them were too eye-catching in the Shen family, so as not to attract the attention of others.
After Shen Yuxin came back, he heard the news that Shen Youqiu had been kidnapped, and he was frightened, until Shen Youqiu emphasized that he was okay in Zaisan, and this time he was a little relieved, "Qiuqiu, when you go out in the future, your father will follow you." ”
"Dad, I'll pay attention to it later."
"No, there was a path that saved you this time, so what about next time?" Shen Yu said heartily, "I'll tell Yu Zhutou to let him strengthen the patrol of this area." With that, he got up and left to find Yu Zhutou.
Looking at the back of Shen Yuxin leaving, Shen Youqiu fell into deep thought, Shen Yuxin was right, this time he escaped by luck, so what about next time?
Qian Shaoyu is a person who will be revenged, insidious and cunning, if he doesn't get rid of it, he and his family will always be in fear.
The Qian family has been in this area for nearly a hundred years, deep-rooted, and has dealings with successive county officials, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen, and the remaining head catcher is just a small head catcher, really right, he may not be able to win, if he wants to be stable, he must master the weaknesses of the Qian family, so as to maintain balance.
Thinking of getting up and going to the kitchen to get some snacks, I walked towards the east end of the street, passed by the roast chicken shop and bought two more roast chickens, and bought two more jars of good wine at the corner, until I walked to a ruined temple before stopping.
The gods enshrined in the broken temple have long been gone, and they don't know which way they are enshrined, Shen Youqiu put the things in his hand on the small case in front of the statue, and found a clean place to sit down.
In less than a quarter of an hour, two beggars walked in, an old man, his body was a little rickety, but he was in good spirits, holding a smooth wooden stick, followed by a small child, seven or eight years old, with a dirty face, but those eyes were particularly bright, if they were cleaned, he would be a very good-looking child, seeing Shen Youqiu, the child let go of the old beggar's hand, and jumped and ran over, "Sister Xiaoqiu, what delicious food did you bring me?" ”
"Little Eight, two roast chickens will forget your grandfather." The old beggar said angrily, but there was no displeasure on his face, but a little smile on the contrary.
"I smelled roast chicken from afar, it should be not far from Huang Ji's house." The child ran to Shen Youqiu with a smile, tore open the oil paper, tore off a big chicken leg and handed it to the old beggar.
The old beggar took a bite before he tore another chicken leg, and then squatted down and devoured it.
Xiaoba was picked up by the old beggar on the day of Laba Festival, when he picked up Xiaoba, the child did not have a good place on his body, and he had a high fever, but from the clothes he was wearing, it could be seen that he should be a child of a rich family, and he burned for three days and three nights, and all the beggars thought that the child could not live, and on the fourth day, the child miraculously came to life.
When I asked him anything, he said he didn't know, he couldn't remember clearly. When asked his name, he didn't say anything, and the old beggar thought that the child had a fever and burned out his brain, so he named him Xiaoba.
So Xiaoba stayed in this dilapidated temple and relied on the old beggar for four years.
"Say, Shen girl, what is there to ask me for this time with so much good wine and food." The old beggar took a sip of wine from the bowl that had been missing, and looked at the very handsome little girl in front of him.
Because Shen Youqiu's body is relatively weak, there is usually no one to play with, although he is the same age as Shen Yuechun, but he can't get along with her temperament, so he often gives the beggar some food, listens to the old beggar tell stories, and comes and goes, and becomes familiar with the beggars in the town.
If there is anything, Shen Youqiu will buy some good wine and good food to this dilapidated temple for the old beggar, this old beggar is called the seventh uncle, and he is the head of the beggars in the whole town.
"I want to know something about the Qian family." Shen Youqiu didn't beat around the bush, and directly said his demands, and roughly said something about what happened two days ago.
"The Qian family is a textile family, and now they are the richest people in our place, and they have an excellent relationship with Zheng County." Uncle Seven took a sip of wine and said.
Xiao Ba, who had finished gnawing on the chicken leg on the side, took over the conversation, "I also saw Master Qian and Zheng County Ling go to Wang Baihualou for dinner two days ago, and rewarded me with a copper plate." ”
"However, the Qian family has only this one lone seedling in Qian Shaoyu's generation, who is idle all day long, bullying men and women, and the former master doesn't know how much he wiped his ass in the back."
As he was talking, Uncle Seven's face changed, "Who?" ”
"Ah Qiu, my aunt asked me to take you home." Qi Jingxing didn't know when he was standing in the courtyard of the broken temple, dressed in cloth, his face was much better than in the morning, and his eyebrows and eyes were still smiling.
"What is this?"
"I am the son-in-law of the Shen family!" Qi Jingxing is still personable, even in the face of beggars, he still maintains his gentleness, and his eyes are not half contemptuous.
Really good at pretending.
"Don't listen to him." Shen Youqiu said a little angrily, now when he meets people, he will say that he is the son-in-law of the Shen family, except for a few days, everyone in this country knows that the Shen family has recruited a son-in-law!
Uncle Seven stood up, looked Qi Jingxing up and down, and suddenly said, "This son is a little familiar. ”
