There was an endless stream of patients coming to Tongrentang for consultation. Hu Xiaotian was worried that entering through the main entrance would cause too much commotion, so he simply went around to the backyard and climbed over the wall. Unexpectedly, he saw Fang Zhitang drying medicine there. He and his daughter Fang Fang had already arrived.
Tongrentang helped, and through Hu Xiaotian's help, Fang Fang and Zhan Peng had made an engagement.
Hu Xiaotian coughed, and Fang Zhitang was shocked to realize that someone had come into the courtyard. When he saw it was Hu Xiaotian, he couldn't help but laugh: "My dear friend, why did you climb over the wall?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are too many people at the main entrance, so come here to save trouble."
Fang Zhitang said cheerfully: "My benefactor always fails to see the end of his work." He was also a man with rich experience, and he immediately guessed the purpose of Hu Xiaotian's visit: "My benefactor is here to see Miss Qin?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's nothing important, I just stopped by to take a look."
Fang Zhidang asked: "Does my benefactor know where Zhan Peng has gone?"
Zhan Peng and Liang Yinghao had been sent to Kangdu by Hu Xiaotian to go to Fengyi Villa to make preparations. However, because the mission of this trip was very important, they did not disclose it even to their fiancée Fang Fang.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I'll send him to do something."
Fang Zhitang said "Oh" and stopped asking any more questions.
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What happened to his marriage to Fang Fang?"
Fang Zhitang said with a smile: "It is scheduled to be on the eighth day of September this year. Thanks to my benefactor for bringing this matter together."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "I will be their officiant when the time comes."
Fang Zhitang was overjoyed and said: "Of course it's my benefactor. Thank you so much, little old man." Then he remembered the business: "My benefactor, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform Miss Qin." He poured a cup of tea for Hu Xiaotian and invited him.
After sitting in the pavilion in the back garden, I went to invite Qin Yutong.
There is a reason why Fang Zhitang is not impatient or impatient. He knows Qin Yutong's temperament very well. Qin Yutong never delays her consultation time because of external matters. There is still half an hour before she can rest.
, she will not change her arrangements because of Hu Xiaotian's arrival.
As expected, Qin Yutong kept Hu Xiaotian waiting for half an hour. Only then did he arrive late.
When Hu Xiaotian saw Qin Yutong appear, he couldn't help complaining: "Miss Qin is so arrogant, I'll wait until the flowers have withered!"
Qin Yutong smiled calmly and said: "The flowers haven't bloomed yet, so how can we talk about them declining?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Look at your appearance and intelligence. Why are you so uninteresting?"
Qin Yutong said: "Because you and I are not the same kind of people, so you think I am boring, and I think you are the same." At present, she is the only one who dares to confront Hu Xiaotian like this.
Hu Xiaotian didn't take it seriously, pointed to the tea cup in front of him and said: "It's light, let's change the guests to some hot tea."
Qin Yutong said softly: "You wait patiently. I will change my clothes."
Hu Xiaotian said behind Qin Yutong: "It's just a visit from ordinary friends, there is no need to be so grand!"
Qin Yutong paused slightly, did not speak, and then continued walking towards the room.
Hu Xiaotian waited for half an hour because of this sentence. Although it was not so exaggerated that the flowers withered, the sun was about to set. It was so excessive that Qin Yutong didn't even refill the hot tea for himself.
If the first time was because of work, the second time was intentional.
Qin Yutong came out of the room and put on a brown scholar's shirt. Perhaps because she was sitting in the hall for medical consultation, she had been wearing men's clothing recently, with a black crown on her head and half of her face still covered with black gauze.
In this way, her every move still showed her first-class grace.
Hu Xiaotian was quite curious about Qin Yutong's true appearance, but he could always bear his temper in front of Qin Yutong. He couldn't explain why. When he was around Qin Yutong, he could always keep his mind strong enough.
To be calm. In other words, Qin Yutong is a woman who can really calm him down. When he realized that Qin Yutong was going out, Hu Xiaotian pretended to fall asleep leaning against the pavilion, and even deliberately hit him slightly.
snore.
Qin Yutong came to him and said softly: "Stop pretending. It's my fault for keeping you waiting. I'll treat you to dinner."
Hu Xiaotian opened his eyes: "Qin Yutong, don't look so condescending. I have to go if you invite me?"
Qin Yutong said: "Just leave if you don't like it!"
At this time, Fang Zhitang came over with a tray and said with a smile: "My lord, Miss Qin specially prepared good wine and delicious food."
Hu Xiaotian looked at the tray. As expected, they were all vegetarian dishes. Qin Yutong did not eat meat, but even though they were vegetarian dishes, every dish was full of color, flavor, and exquisiteness. Fang Fang also came over with the tray.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's so rich!"
Fang Fang said: "Try sister's craftsmanship!"
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Qin Yutong, but he didn't expect that she had made it herself. It turned out that Qin Yutong not only changed his clothes but also went to cook. He had misunderstood her.
Hu Xiaotian warmly invited: “Sister-in-law, let’s eat together!”
Fang Fang blushed when he called her, but she was overjoyed in her heart. She said shyly: "My father-in-law is making fun of me again. I won't delay your conversation." She winked at her father, and the two of them set up the food and drinks and turned to leave.
go.
Qin Yutong didn't invite Hu Xiaotian and sat down first. Hu Xiaotian didn't need her invitation and sat down opposite Qin Yutong. He stared at Qin Yutong's eyes for a while and then said: "Are you planning to
Eating with a veil?”
"I'm worried that my appearance will scare you and cause you to lose your appetite!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. I have a strong taste and a bit of a mental quirk. The more terrifying I see, the more my appetite increases."
Qin Yutong nodded and took off her veil. Hu Xiaotian thought he would see the criss-cross scars on her face, but this time her appearance changed. Of course, she didn't turn into a fairy beauty that shocked him, but she was just so pale.
With his plain face, Hu Xiaotian dared to conclude that Qin Yutong was wearing a mask.
Qin Yutong said: "Are you satisfied?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you tired of living with a mask on all day?"
Qin Yutong said softly: "Everyone has the right to choose their own life." She filled the wine glass for Hu Xiaotian, but she drank tea instead.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not fair. If you invite me to drink, you should drink some yourself."
Qin Yutong said: "I don't like people forcing me the most. Today is to see you off, otherwise I wouldn't treat you to a drink."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since it's a farewell, we should show some sincerity." He drank half a glass of wine and handed the remaining half glass of wine to Qin Yutong.
Qin Yutong knew something about this guy's character. He always liked to force others to do things they didn't want to do. Qin Yutong sighed and said, "Before I get angry, you'd better swallow your saliva."
She took the wine flask, filled the empty glass in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp.
Hu Xiaotian smiled with satisfaction. He also drank half the glass of wine. Qin Yutong finally gave in under his own strength. Men all have vanity. This guy secretly thought, one day I will reveal the truth.
Your layers of masks, one day, I will let you drink my remaining wine, this guy realizes that his heart is somewhat twisted.
"When do you plan to leave?" Qin Yutong asked while pouring wine for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "As long as I can attend the wedding on May 16th."
Qin Yutong didn't look at him and said calmly: "Others said that your trip was full of misfortunes, but I didn't expect that you are actually a love saint who would even risk your life for love!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"
Qin Yutong shook her head and said, "I just feel unfair for Xiyue!" She and Long Xiyue had a deep relationship and they were sisters, and she also knew that Long Xiyue was not dead and was still living in this world.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch!"
Qin Yutong's eyes turned cold: "Hurry up and become the consort!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "When I go to Kangdu, some people object, some try to persuade me to stay, and some are worried about me, but you are the first one to ridicule me."
Qin Yutong said: "You have legs on your own. Wherever you want to go, no one can stop you. However, before you go to Kangdu, there is something that I think you have the right to know." She paused and said.
: "When my master went to Tianxiang Kingdom, he met an old friend."
Hu Xiaotian's heart trembled. Qin Yutong's master was Tian Qing, the director of the Xuantian Pavilion. This man was one of the most mysterious masters in Dakang. He had been wandering around in the past few years. Whether by accident or on purpose, he happened to escape a few times.
A palace coup and a change of regime did not cause any damage to him. Although Xuantian Pavilion had a close relationship with the court, it was able to survive every crisis. This may have something to do with Ren Tianqing's handling. Who is the old friend Qin Yutong mentioned?
Hu Buwei or Long Xiyue?
Qin Yutong said: "If she knows about your wedding, she will definitely be happy for you!"
Hu Xiaotian frowned. He could already conclude that Ren Tianqing met Long Xiyue. If Long Xiyue knew the news about her marriage to Qiqi, would she be sad? She had become sworn friends between Zhou Mo and Xiao Tianmu.
His brother misunderstood Long Xiyue due to his brother's deception. Since then, he and Long Xiyue have lost contact. Even after he learned the truth, he still did not take the initiative to contact Long Xiyue. For Hu Xiaotian, maintaining the status quo is the only way.
It is the best protection for Long Xiyue. Before the time is ripe, he will not take the lead in causing this turmoil. However, he has already made up his mind in his heart. After he has truly established a foothold, he will go to Tianxiang Kingdom to rescue Long Xiyue.
, at any cost.
"Why don't you speak?" Qin Yutong showed an unprecedented aggressiveness.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Qin Yutong and said: "Although you are extremely smart, you are still a woman. Women's knowledge and vision are limited after all. You don't know what I am thinking, and I don't need to explain to you. Even if I say
Come out and you won’t understand either!”
Qin Yutong bit her lip. She was irritated by Hu Xiaotian's arrogant attitude: "Hu Xiaotian, you are simply an unreasonable bastard!"
Hu Xiaotian laughed, picked up the jug and filled it for himself: "I quite like the way you look angry, Qin Yutong, do you know that you only look like a living person when you are angry!" (To be continued)
