Chapter 45 Wanted to slap Qiao Jing in the face, but ended up humiliating himself
Being asked this suddenly, Zhan Qipei was stunned for a moment. He had always kept his face calm when the mountains collapsed, but at this moment, a somewhat dazed look appeared on his face.
Lu Zijiao looked at Zhan Qi Pei with wide eyes, full of surprise.
"No, it can't be right? Zhan, Zhan, Master Zhan, have you really fallen in love with Qiao Jing?!"
I was so surprised that I couldn't even speak.
After Zhan Qi Pei recovered, his face returned to its usual indifferent look.
"You have such a rich imagination, how could I like her?"
"You really don't like it?" Lu Zijiao asked in confirmation.
"Have you forgotten that I already have someone I like?"
Hearing what Zhan Qi Pei said, Lu Zijiao suddenly thought of the girl who performed surgery on Zhan Qi Pei a few days ago.
"Since you don't like Qiao Jing, there is no need for you to be angry, right? And even if my brother is chasing Qiao Jing now, no one will say that you have been cuckolded. No one in the entire imperial capital knows that you are."
We are married according to the decree. After 100 days, you and Qiao Jing will go back to their own way, so there is no need to worry at all."
Zhan Qi Pei is a sensible person, what Lu Zijiao said, how could he not be clear about it himself?
only--
He is just unhappy!
Not happy that Qiao Jing attracts bees and butterflies, not happy that those people are like flies, surrounding Qiao Jing.
Just when Zhan Qipei was thinking this, the uproar in the banquet hall suddenly rose.
"It's Master Han Zhiyuhan!"
"It's really Master Han!"
Han Zhiyu?
Zhan Qipei's attention was diverted. He followed the gazes of everyone and soon saw an old man wearing a green shirt walking towards them with a slightly staggering pace.
Han Zhiyu came here to wish his grandfather a happy birthday? Why didn’t he remember that Han Zhiyu had such a good relationship with his grandfather?
"Master Han! It's Master Han! Nan Qing, look!" Lou Xinrou excitedly pulled Zhan Nanqing's arm and shook it.
The old man standing aside, Lou Xinrou's grandfather, Lou Pinshu, as the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association, was even more excited and hurried forward to greet him.
"Master Han, long time no see."
"Yes! We haven't seen each other since I was seriously ill in bed and stopped writing." Han Zhiyu said, stroking his beard.
"Master Han, look at your body and complexion, have you found a famous doctor?" Lou Pinshu asked guessing.
Han Zhiyu nodded, and when he was about to say something, he saw Qiao Jing in the crowd from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lou Xinrou was not far from Qiao Jing's position. When she saw Han Zhiyu looking this way, she thought it was Lou Pinshu who praised her in front of Han Zhiyu.
So he was overjoyed and immediately walked towards Han Zhiyu.
Unexpectedly, before she reached Han Zhiyu's side, Han Zhiyu also came towards her.
"Han——"
Before the word came out of her throat, Han Zhiyu stopped beside her.
"It's been so many days and you still haven't come to see me."
Um?
Lou Xinrou was stunned for a moment, who was Han Zhiyu talking to?
She turned around in confusion, and when she saw it was Qiao Jing, her eyes almost bulged out.
Not only Lou Xinrou, but everyone around him was dumbfounded as he watched this puzzling scene.
Everyone present knew that Qiao Jing was just a country bumpkin who farmed in the countryside. But looking at Han Zhiyu's attitude towards her, it was obvious that she was an old acquaintance.
"What happened? How did Qiao Jing know Han Zhiyu?" Lu Zijiao looked at Zhan Qipei in surprise.
Zhan Qi Pei looked at Qiao Jing with a frown, and she thought of the painting hanging on the wall at home. It was painted by Han Zhiyu.
He still remembered that Qiao Jing said that this painting was specially given to her by Han Zhiyu.
At that time, he was dubious, and he didn't ask or pay much attention to the matter after that.
Zhan Nanqing and Lou Xinrou also thought of the paintings hanging in Qiao Jing's home. Seeing how familiar Qiao Jing and Han Zhiyu looked, they no longer cherished Qiao Jing's words.
That painting should have been given to her by Han Zhiyu.
Just - why?
Why does Qiao Jing, that mud-legged guy, know Han Zhiyu?
Qiao Jing and Han Zhiyu continued to chat as if no one was watching.
"You also know that you have been busy with things in the field during this period. Besides, your health is not a big problem anymore. You can just rest in the countryside before continuing."
Han Zhiyu has been in the countryside during this time?
Hearing this, Lou Xinrou, Zhan Nanqing and others made bold guesses in their hearts.
The reason why Qiao Jing met Han Zhiyu was probably because he was lucky. The place where Han Zhiyu cultivated himself was in the village where Qiao Jing lived.
There are only a few households in the neighborhood and we often interact with each other, so the relationship is naturally good.
"What a piece of shit luck!" Zhan Nanqing complained.
The complaints are genuine complaints, and the envy is genuine envy.
You can get to know world-class painters like Han Zhiyu even if you are farming in the countryside. What else is it if you are not just lucky?
Halfway through the banquet, the guests began to send congratulatory gifts to Zhan Yuanshan.
"Grandpa, this is my gift to you. I know you like bracelets, so I specially found it for you." Zhan Nanqing said flatteringly.
"Well, girl Nan Qing, you've put a lot of thought into it." Zhan Yuanshan happily accepted it.
"Grandpa, Xinrou has prepared a big gift for you!" Zhan Nanqing deliberately glanced provocatively at Qiao Jing while pulling Lou Xinrou over.
Lou Xinrou handed the gift to Zhan Yuanshan with an extremely respectful and filial expression.
"Grandpa Zhan, this is a gift I specially prepared for you. Please accept it."
Zhan Yuanshan has long known that Lou Xinrou likes Zhan Qi Pei. To be honest, the most suitable candidate for his granddaughter-in-law is Qiao Jing. Before Qiao Jing appeared, Zhan Qi Pei and Zhan Ruiting were two cousins.
Marry whomever you love.
But since meeting Qiao Jing, he wished that Qiao Jing was his granddaughter.
But this is impossible.
Later, he had an idea and came up with this good idea.
If you can't be his granddaughter, then be his granddaughter-in-law.
When the time comes, it won't be the same if we have a few promising grandsons and granddaughters like Qiao Jing.
"Yes." Zhan Yuanshan took the gift from Lou Xinrou and prepared to put it aside.
"Grandpa, open it and take a look! The gift from Xinrou is very unusual! You will know after you look at it."
Zhan Nanqing said so, and there were so many people watching around him, so Zhan Yuanshan had no choice but to open it.
After opening it, my eyes lit up slightly.
"This ginseng has a good shape. It barely has a 'human' shape. The main root is quite thick and has many branches. It is quite well preserved. It should be wild." Zhan Yuanshan analyzed and said.
"Yes! The year is several decades older." Lou Pinshu came over and said, "This is my treasure. I plan to eat it myself later. This kid Xinrou has been begging me for a long time and insists on bringing this to you as a gift."
."
Lou Pinshu knew that his granddaughter liked to fight Qi Pei, so by saying so, he was also helping her.
"Grandpa..." Lou Xinrou said angrily to Lou Pinshu, then quietly glanced at Zhan Qi Pei.
She originally thought that Zhan Qi Pei's attention would be on her at this time, but in the end, Zhan Qi Pei didn't even look at her.
What made her even more angry was that she didn't know if it was her imagination? Just now she seemed to have seen Zhan Qipei peeking at Qiao Jing again.
Thinking of this, Lou Xinrou raised her eyebrows angrily and became very angry. She told Zhan Nanqing what had just happened in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After hearing this, Zhan Nanqing immediately comforted Lou Xinrou.
"Xinrou, don't think blindly. You must have been wrong just now. My brother will never peek at Qiao Jing, nor will he like her. Don't worry, just wait, I will make Qiao Jing look embarrassed now."
After saying that, Zhan Nanqing looked at Qiao Jing, raised her voice deliberately and said, "Qiao Jing, how do you say you are now my brother's wife? Didn't you prepare a gift?"
Zhan Qi Pei looked at Zhan Nanqing with his dark eyes. He could tell that Zhan Nanqing was looking for trouble with Qiao Jing.
Zhan Yuanshan also heard it, and said with an unhappy face: "Nan Qing, don't mess around, go aside."
When Zhan Nanqing saw that Zhan Yuanshan had fallen in love with an outsider for Qiao Jing, he scolded her in public with such serious words, which made her very embarrassed.
"Grandpa! What nonsense am I doing! I just think it's your birthday today, so she should give you a gift."
Qiao Jing took out the wooden box and handed it to Zhan Yuanshan, "Grandpa Zhan, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
"Good boy, good boy!" Zhan Yuanshan smiled brightly.
Seeing the smile on Zhan Yuanshan's face, Zhan Nanqing suddenly felt jealous in her heart.
When she and Xinrou gave you gifts, they didn't see you smiling so happily.
Zhan Yuanshan handed the gift to the butler beside him and said, "Put it away."
"Wait a minute! Grandpa, this gift is from Qiao Jing's heart. Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Zhan Nanqing just wanted to see Qiao Jing make a fool of herself, but she didn't think Qiao Jing had anything to offer.
"Nan Qing, you are getting more and more outrageous!" Zhan Yuanshan was unhappy.
In order to see Qiao Jing make a fool of herself, Zhan Nanqing bit the bullet and continued: "Grandpa, I heard that Qiao Jing also worked very hard to pick out gifts for you."
Zhan Yuanshan endured to the extreme, and just when he was about to get angry, Qiao Jing's unhurried voice sounded in his ears.
