34 Chapter 34 (Revised)
Mrs. Liu led the maid to bring a bowl of cassia seed chicken soup, skimmed the oil slick, and when she lifted the lid, the house was full of fragrance.
Feng Juncheng sat in the small hall and tasted the chicken soup, praised again and again, and thanked his aunt for taking care of her.
"And thank me so ceremoniously, don't you grow up and be separated?" As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the room, she never sat down, and her eyes attracted the Bogu frame on the right, and she paced around it, waiting for him to finish drinking.
"Juncheng, Ruomei also asked her uncle to bring you a letter, and her uncle sent someone to our concierge this morning, didn't you handle the same case, and you couldn't meet it in the county office? Why didn't he give it to you personally? β
"The meeting is all official business, and we are not allowed to meet in private for the time being."
"Is her uncle so busy?"
Busy, so busy that he hasn't been able to make an appointment with anyone until now, he thought about it and found a reason for Xu Tong, "Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin came to Qiantang, and he would definitely not be able to entertain." β
"That's right."
Mrs. Liu was about to shake to the left hand side while chatting, Qing'e listened to the footsteps, her heart was pounding, Feng Juncheng was even more in a lawsuit, her head was boiling, and she saw Mrs. Liu stepping over on one leg-
"Auntie!"
"Huh?"
Feng Juncheng stiffened his neck, his face flushed, "This soup is so delicious." β
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, blinking, "Yes, it's so delicious?" Looks like I'm going to get a bowl in the kitchen to try it when I go back. β
After that, Mrs. Liu raised her legs with a smile, and was about to go behind the partition again, Qing'e hung in her throat in one breath, closed her eyes in a panic, and simply became a turtle with a shrunken head.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of "dang chang", and the spoon in Feng Juncheng's hand fell into the bowl suddenly, and the soup also splashed on his chest. He is twenty-four years old, eight feet tall, and ranks sixth, which is a bit absurd.
"Oops! Juncheng, how did you do this? Mrs. Liu hurriedly turned around, took out a silk and wiped the water stains on his body, "Look at you, I just said that you grew up and had a relationship with me, so I asked my aunt to clean up your clothes for you." β
"Auntie smiled."
Feng Juncheng smiled, stared at the partition with his eyes, got up and said, "I'll change my clothes, and I will stain your handkerchief, I will ask Wang Ban to send you one." β
Mrs. Liu was sent out in a fog, "It's okay, then I'll ask the girl to wait for you to change your clothes." β
"No need." Feng Juncheng shouted at Wang Ban at the top of his voice and asked him to send someone to get clean clothes.
The door closed again, and Feng Jun exhaled, undoubtedly annoyed. The partition moved, Qing'e timidly walked out of there, and when she saw a puddle of soup stains on Feng Juncheng's chest, she was still a little apologetic, so she laughed out loud and pouted and couldn't help laughing.
Feng Juncheng looked at her, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Ruru won't get it when she eats at the age of three."
"Who am I doing this for, comparing me to a three-year-old?"
"Ruru is smart and well-behaved, and she is more than enough to compare anyone with her." Qing'e stepped forward to untie his belt, "Take it off first, don't sneak in, wait for Brother Wang to get you a clean robe." β
Xu is because Mrs. Liu came in for a trip, and the two of them had not yet calmed down, and when they stood closer, Feng Juncheng lowered his eyes to look at her, and his voice was deep, "Is this taking care of me as your child?" β
"You're much harder to serve than Ruru."
Feng Juncheng's hand put on her waist, and suddenly pressed her to himself, bringing a gust of wind and shaking the lamp.
Qing'e put her arms on his chest, and in her line of sight, it happened to be the letter sent by Liu Ruomei on the table, she probably thought something was going to happen, and she was reluctant, "Wait, I have something to ask you." β
"I have something for you, too." As soon as she mentioned Ru Ru, Feng Juncheng remembered, "You said that Ru Ru is the child of you and Zhao Qi, in that case, why are you wearing my jade pendant." β
Qing'e thought for a while, "Which one?" Oh, and the jade pendant is yours? I mean, such a good condition. Brother Qi only told me that he won the treasure game. β
"Li Qing'e..."
Qing'e looked sideways at him and asked tentatively, "What do you mean by that adult?" Could it be that you want to be Ruru's father for five months? You and your wife don't have children of your own? β
Feng Juncheng didn't react at first, and then realized that she thought she had a family. I want to tell her that I am still unmarried, and I am ashamed to admit that I have been single since her.
This short silence made Qing'e a little difficult, and the letter from Liu Ruomei did wake her up, she smiled, "It's good now, I just paid off my debts, but I sat on the charges imposed on me by others and became a serious person." She struggled for a moment and looked at him, "This one hundred and forty taels, I'll think about whether there is any other way to pay it back." β
Feng Juncheng didn't let go, "I'm not married." β
Qing'e's eyes flashed with astonishment, but she pursed her lips and said in disbelief. She couldn't believe it. Five years, it's not long, it's definitely not short, he hasn't been able to marry Liu Ruomei in the past five years?
Feng Juncheng said truthfully: "Almost, on the eve of the meeting, Mrs. Xu died of illness, and she served her mother for three years. β
Qing'e was shocked, "You haven't discussed marriage yet?" β
There is no marriage between men and women, that is, strangers, Liu Ruomei is not his fiancΓ©e, and he is not Liu Ruomei's fiancΓ©e. However, it was also because both of them had recognized this family affair, so they were not in a hurry to formally invite the iceman to discuss their marriage.
She nodded her head, "It's almost over, congratulations, this time you should also decide, after a five-year delay, you can finally achieve a positive result, her uncle is Lord Xu of Yingtianfu, that Lord Xu is so powerful, I have seen it, he must have helped you." β
Feng Juncheng lowered his eyes to look at her, but said: "Mrs. Xu died of illness first, she was heartbroken for her mother in the first two years, and it was a bit cruel to ask her to choose him to marry, so I hid in Shuntian Mansion and never returned home, but I also want to understand that I will not marry a wife, and I will not agree to this marriage." β
"Why?"
Qing'e's heart jumped suddenly, afraid to hear that answer.
Feng Juncheng didn't answer seriously as if he was angry with her, "Because I was bitten by a snake once, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years." β
Qing'e raised her eyes and glared at him, Feng Juncheng laughed, and said without concealment: "Because for me, knowing what it's like to like someone, I can't pretend not to know, if she marries me, she and I will only suffer in the future." β
Qing'e groaned for a while, looking up at him, as if she was persuading him, "Not necessarily." Among the people you know, who is not blindly married and dumb married, and after a long time, they like it. As far as you are born against the bones, love and work against the family, which thing do you have that is not given by the family? β
Feng Juncheng just lowered his eyes and stared at her, Qing'e told him to stare at a loss, so he simply held his face and looked at him, his face was always shaved so that he couldn't touch the stubble, delicate and tender, just like a woman.
Her heart was vivid, her fingertips gently rubbed behind his ear, her eyes gradually intertwined, and Qing'e raised her chin-
The door opened.
Wang Ban held the folded clean robe, looked at the people in the door on three sides, embarrassed but a flick of his fingers, he went all the way from the red neck to the top of his head, followed the trajectory of the come, and retreated.
The room was quiet, and Qing'e smiled and bent over, "Brother Wang is really unlucky, take a personal account for you."
The name of the meeting, I have to bump into these. ()β
“? ()_[()]?γ Come[]*See the latest chapter*Full chapter'()"
He tilted his chin unhappily to look at her, and Qing'e smiled triumphantly, climbed his shoulder, and pecked his chin and cheek like a fledgling, but did not drop the kiss to his lips.
She pushed people away, walked out, and could still step on her feet, "This is one hundred and forty taels, don't let you say it's not worth it." β
Feng Juncheng watched her run away, his thumb touched his lips, and there was still some stickiness left by lip grease, with a fragrance.
After losing his mind for a moment, he suddenly woke up and called Wang Ban to change his clothes.
In Qiantang, Qing'e's case is the biggest one in the past five years, so it spread, and it didn't take long for several well-informed people in Hangjiahu to know about it.
Zhao Qi stayed in the gambling house day and night for five days, his body was stinky, and he carried the few l dollars he won, all of which were dowries for Qing'e. It's not a good thing for her to come soon, and when her brother always has something to prepare for her. Just as he was counting the silver taels in his hand, he heard someone at the table next to him discussing the case of Qiantang.
"The case in Qiantang is closed?"
"It's over, the woman is a prostitute. The woman is still a liar, saying that she was deceived by the Lin officials and got along with him, but in fact she wanted to cheat the Lin officials out of their money. β
"How much did you cheat?"
When it came to this place, it had long been completely false, "I remember it's two hundred and fifty taels, right?" β
"So much! The Qin family is really rich, you said that their family's money can be deceived by that woman so easily, why can't you and me divide one hundred and two hundred. β
The two men said to themselves that they were happy, and they laughed when they touched the cards.
When Zhao Qi heard this, he felt that the three words "Qiantang, liar, and Lin Daguan" were extremely harsh, and he wrinkled his face and picked up the silver, pulled the waist of his pants and stepped forward.
"Little brother, who is that Lin Daguan you are talking about? What kind of lawsuit is this? What a prostitute. Female liar? β
The two of them had been at the same table with Zhao Qi, they were familiar with each other, and said casually: "It was a case that made a fuss in Qiantang some time ago, the big official Lin was the son of the Qiantang merchant Jia Qin's family, and the uncle was the prefect of Hangzhou, and the family was big, so a tea picker was deceived, and the tea picker girl beat a rake, and first went to the official mansion to complain, saying that the Lin official conspired with the landlord to confiscate her land...... Well! Do you listen or not? β
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi clenched his fists and turned around to leave, he was a man with five big and three thick beards and messy hair, walking on the road regardless of the eyes of others, tears flowed out, wiping tears while walking faster and faster.
That night, he rushed back to Qiantang, looked for Qing'e in the tea house, and learned that a few days ago a few brothers came to move her family's things, because Xu Guangde's people were accompanying him, and the tenants just glanced at it from afar, guessing that those should be the descendants of the Qin Mansion.
She had not long gone, and the yard was still very tidy, except for a stubble of leeks that emerged from the vegetable patch, and no one ate them.
Zhao Qi walked a mountain road in the night and knocked on the door of the tenant on the mountain, "Brother, I."
() Look, the sickle in your house is so bright, I borrowed it to collect a dish for my sister. β
He cut the vegetables, went into the kitchen and scooped out a small bag of noodles and made a paste soup to eat. After eating, he wiped his face, his eyes were straight, and he sat down.
Not long ago, Qing'e was harassed by Xu Guangde, she said that she wanted to leave, but it seemed that she couldn't make it, he could have stayed to help her, but he didn't.
Back then, he could have quit gambling and married Qing'e, but he didn't.
He said he wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, but he didn't.
To this day, he really has nothing.
The scythe for cutting vegetables was still resting at hand, the sickle was freshly sharpened, and the back of the knife was rusty, but the tip was exceptionally bright, revealing a hint of coldness. Zhao Qi twitched his nose, and his cheeks tightened.
He broke the handle of the knife with brute force, took the blade of the sickle and pinned it to his waist, and went down the mountain.
This night, Qin Xiaolin was a little drunk, got off the sedan chair and walked into the house, the door just opened a crack, and a black shadow came out of the alley on the right, pounced up, like a big black dog.
QIN Xiaolinxia. His body suddenly ached, and he shouted for help, and a scythe blade was inserted into his inner thigh, glowing with the cold light of the moon, spurting blood.
The "black dog" was quickly restrained, Qin Xiaolin pulled out his knife and covered it. body, take advantage of the moonlight to see clearly.
It was a lean and knotted man, with the appearance of a hooligan, before the summer was in the summer, and the climate was still cold, but he was shirtless, and his muscles were tense, like an executioner on the verge of execution, and like a death row prisoner.
Qin Xiaolin felt his legs wet like wetting his pants, and lowered his head to see the blood dyeing his β‘β‘ from dark yellow to dark brown, he held his breath, retreated into the door, and gave orders to his subordinates.
"Hit me, beat me to death!"
The next day, Qing'e went to Feng Juncheng's courtyard to read the book "Dream Memories of Tao'an".
It's very interesting, it's not about the big truth, but about the rich family eating, drinking, having fun, fighting cocks and raising birds.
In fact, she accompanied Feng Juncheng for only an hour, he finished his official business, she still couldn't get enough, went back lightly and did not alarm Ruru, as soon as she put on the pillow, there was no ambiguity.
Once born and twice matured, this time she came in and saw Feng Juncheng ignoring herself, so she didn't bother him, and went to the edge of the bookshelf to read idle books, Feng Juncheng raised his eyes and looked at her, but he didn't know who was ignoring whom.
In fact, Feng Juncheng had already finished his work, and he didn't have endless paperwork to save until the evening every day......
He wrote the poetry scripture silently on the paper, and when she finished reading the "Dream Memories of Tao'an", there should be a lot of unrecognizable rare words to ask him. He waited.
Outside the door, there was a sound of Wang Banhuo slapping the door panel, he broke in, and he didn't care if he would bump into the unsightly scene, "Master, the big thing is not good, Zhao Qi looked for Qin Xiaolin to seek revenge, and slashed Qin Xiaolin, and now the person was sent to the county office, and he was about to die." β
Qing'e closed the book and looked at Wang Ban in a daze, "Who is dying?" She paused and laughed, "Qin Xiaolin is dying?" β
"No, it's Zhao... Zhaoβ"
Without waiting for Wang Ban to finish panting, she pushed the person away and ran out.
The wind was cold at night, slashing Qing'e's face like two bone scrapers, she ran up, her mind was full of mud, and she almost tripped over the threshold.
Feng Juncheng chased after her and pulled her, touching her wrist cold. She was cold, she didn't cry, she was like a stone statue, she wouldn't react except blinking.
Feng Juncheng was in a complicated mood at the moment, Zhao Qi didn't care about his life to avenge her, he said softly: "He probably thought that you were in the Qin Mansion, and I would go to the county government on your behalf, but you still stayed here and didn't go." β
In the past five years, Qing'e and Zhao Qi have certainly had a disagreement, but for Qing'e, Zhao Qi is a senior brother, a brother, and a fiancΓ© who was let down by her, she is ashamed of Zhao Qi, just as Zhao Qi is also sorry for her, he has not known how to make up for it......
Qing'e grabbed his sleeve tightly, "My lord, Brother Qi can't die, he can't die, if he dies, I will only have one relative in this world." β
Feng Juncheng bowed his head with difficulty, left her in the courtyard, put on the thin clothes sent by Wang Ban, and hurried to the county office.!
