Looking at the boy in front of him, after listening to his words, Qin Shisanlang's original smile gradually disappeared.
"It's time to say goodbye in person," he said, shaking his head and waving his hands.
The boy bowed his head and retreated.
Qin Shisanlang turned around and walked towards a courtyard behind him.
I really have to leave.
Just like Saturday Lang, it seemed that he had never thought about leaving, but now in the blink of an eye, the young boy who rode horses and shot arrows together, laughed and laughed at each other, was already thousands of miles away.
Qin Shisanlang stopped, looked up at the sky for a moment, then turned around and strode over.
"Hey, hey, Master, Master..."
The boy shouted twice and watched Qin Shisanlang ride away on his horse.
He scratched his head and turned to look at the door of the house over there.
Where is the young master's horse? Should he take it out and ride it away?
But thinking of that stern gentleman, the boy still shrank his head, folded his hands and ran away.
When Qin Shisanlang came to Cheng Jiaoniang's door, there was a carriage parked in front of the door and the door was open.
It's the Zhou family's carriage.
Qin Shisanlang stopped.
There was the sound of footsteps again behind me.
"Master Zhou?"
Someone shouted hesitantly.
Mr. Zhou?
Qin Shisanlang turned his head and saw an old servant saluting with some respect.
"I am from the Wang family of Mrs. Cheng's fiance." He said with a smile.
Qin Thirteenth Lang said oh, he wanted to say something, but felt that he had nothing to say, so he turned his head and stopped talking.
There are so many young masters who have no regard for servants, and the old servant didn't take it seriously. He was about to stand a few steps away, but saw the young master of the Zhou family turning his head again.
"Where is your young master?" he asked.
"I'm going to buy some specialties from the capital." The old servant replied hurriedly with a smile, "Let me come to Mrs. Cheng first and ask if there is anything special you want, and buy it together. Master, you..."
Qin Shisanlang nodded and turned around before he finished speaking.
The old servant swallowed back the rest of his words and frowned slightly.
The young master didn't seem to like him, but he seemed to force himself to talk to him.
Is this the feeling of relatives who are dissatisfied with the marriage but have to get married?
As if to verify his guess, the young master who turned away turned his head again.
"Where do you live?" he asked, "Before leaving, I will practice it with your young master."
No matter what, this family may be her husband's family...
This is how relatives should behave. The old servant smiled and saluted.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." He said while giving the name of the inn.
While they were talking here, a man's cry came from the door, which made both of them stunned for a moment.
Crying? Did you hear it wrong?
The old servant couldn't help but look inside. Through the wide open door, he could see a man sitting on the porch...
While he was still looking, the young master of the Zhou family next to him coughed.
The old servant came to his senses and hurriedly took a few steps back, but saw that the young master of the Zhou family did not follow suit, but instead took a few steps forward.
"Jiaojiao'er, I know I was wrong."
Mr. Zhou covered his face with his sleeves and choked.
"Please spare our lives."
"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "You do me a favor and this matter ends here."
Mr. Zhou was very happy.
So easy?
Thoughts flashed through my mind and I was shocked.
Easy? The last sentence sounded easy. What was the result?
"I am going back to Jiangzhou with the Wang family." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I hope Mr. Zhou will take care of the three stores in the capital."
really!
"Jiaojiao'er, that's your shop, I will never ask anything about it! I swear to God!" Mr. Zhou immediately stretched out his hand and shouted to the sky.
Why does this sound so awkward?
But no matter!
"So, uncle, you are not willing to help?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked with a smile.
Not willing to help?
Wouldn't that be courting death?
"Yes, yes!" Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "I swear to God!"
The maid couldn't help but giggle.
"Then Master, are you willing or not?" she asked with a smile.
Mr. Zhou was sweating, and his swollen face became more and more ugly.
"Uncle." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Whether you recognize it or not, I recognize it or not, the world will blame you and the Zhou family for these three properties. Of course, the profit is mine.
The overt spear and the secret arrow are yours."
This is a fact. Mr. Zhou smiled bitterly, just like Cheng Jiaoniang when she first became famous as a miracle doctor.
She is the one who gets the good compliments, and the Zhou family will get some from them, but once this woman turns her back and offends others, the ridicule, curses and speculation will all be directed at the Zhou family.
What can I do? This is home, this is clan.
"This is your life, this is the fate of the Zhou family. Whether you want it or not, it was destined to be like this the moment I gave birth." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Yes, it's all fate. Mr. Zhou lowered his head and said yes.
"So uncle, since this is fate, do you want a good life or a bad life?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Who doesn't want a good life...
"Good luck." Mr. Zhou whispered.
"What?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, turning her head slightly.
Master Zhou naturally understood the meaning of this sideways movement.
"Good luck!" he shouted, raising his voice.
"That's good." Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and said, "My uncle will take care of the store in Beijing."
ah?
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment.
"If I'm not good, you won't get any good. If I get better, maybe you will follow suit." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "In this case, uncle, do you know what you should do?"
Master Zhou was stunned for a moment.
That is to say, their fates are connected, and they share weal and woe...
No, no, given this lady’s habits, sharing weal and woe is a joke!
Rong may be able to share it with her, but humiliation wants her to share it with her? Haha... Who will try? Are you impatient with life?
So this sentence can also be understood this way, that is, if I am unlucky, I will definitely bring you unlucky. If you are good to me, I may be a little better to you...
"Jiao Jiao'er, I understand." Mr. Zhou nodded solemnly, although his face was swollen and even his serious appearance looked funny.
Cheng Jiaoniang saluted.
"Thank you uncle." She said with a smile.
As expected of a Vajra Bodhisattva, I am sure that if she kills someone with her own hands, she will be polite and courteous.
Mr. Zhou hurriedly returned the gift.
"Then Jiaojiao, do you really want to go back?" he said, "I will arrange an escort right away."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"...Bring some people back too..." Mr. Zhou asked tentatively again.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded again, smiled slightly and thanked her.
Mr. Zhou was so happy that he almost danced for joy. Cheng Jiaoniang, who had always been a loner, actually wanted to use someone from the Zhou family!
What does this mean?
It shows that she regards them as her own!
"I'm going to pick someone right now!" he said happily, stood up, and quickly added something as he thought of something, "I'll bring it to you after I've picked it."
"No need, anyone can do it." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Don't bother."
If it can be used, use it; if it can't be used...just get rid of it.
For example, those girls who were kicked out when they were in the Cheng family.
He's just a servant, he doesn't even deserve a name in her eyes.
Mr. Zhou nodded.
"I know." He said, stood up, walked a few steps and then came back, with a bit of hesitation, "Jiaojiao, then, what medicine do you think we should use for my and your aunt's illness?"
The maid was stunned and then covered her mouth and smiled.
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her hand and waved her fingers at him.
"One more word," she said, "your illness is cured."
Seeing Mr. Zhou step out, Qin Shisanlang took a few steps back.
"Your illness is cured, your illness is cured..."
Mr. Zhou kept his head low and stepped forward, almost missing Qin Thirteenth Lang.
"Master Zhou." Qin Shisanlang said, giving a slight salute.
Master Zhou nodded.
The old servant who came quickly happened to hear it and looked very surprised.
Is this pig-headed man Mr. Zhou?
That's right, the man with the swollen head and face who beat his entourage is a man of skill, and this is the case for this general of the Zhou family.
"Mr. Zhou." He hurriedly followed suit and saluted.
Master Zhou looked at him and then at Thirteenth Qin Lang.
Is it from the Qin family?
"From the Wang family." Qin Shisanlang said.
From the Wang family, Mr. Zhou immediately raised his feet and took a step forward.
"Master Zhou, Master Zhou." The old servant hurriedly followed and shouted, "My young master came to the door and asked to see you..."
"Why are you seeing me?" Mr. Zhou said angrily.
In the middle of the sentence, she remembered that Cheng Jiaoniang agreed to the marriage, which shows that the young master of the Wang family has won Jiaoniang's favor...
"...are you talking about returning to Jiangzhou?" He turned around and said with a smile on his face.
The old servant was a little confused by this sudden change of expression.
"Yes." He hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Okay, don't worry about this. I will arrange it myself. Just wait until you are on your way safely and smoothly." Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
The old servant was even more stunned.
"Okay, you don't have to come to see me. You can just clean up when you need to." Master Zhou said, waving his hands and hurriedly getting in the car and leaving.
The old servant shouted several times but failed to stop, and could only watch the carriage speed away.
"So urgent, as if rushing to save someone's life..." He couldn't help shaking his head and whispering to himself.
Or maybe she was anxious to get rid of this wife of the Cheng family, and she was happy to finally be able to get rid of her.
This lady from the Cheng family...
He turned around and saw that Mr. Zhou, who was standing at the door just now, had already entered. He hurriedly moved over, but was stopped by Brother Jin.
"My wife has a visitor, what do you want?"
The old servant said his intention and watched the young man go in to reply. He came over not long after.
"My wife said that there is no need to help her buy things. Prince Wang, please do as you please." Jin Geer said.
The old servant wanted to say something else, but he also knew that he didn't mean to invite him in, so he had to bow and say goodbye.
I really didn’t expect that things would go so smoothly, and I would even meet Mr. Zhou...
week..
Oh, that's not right.
The old servant who had walked into the street suddenly stopped and looked back at the Cheng family's house.
The young man said just now that his wife was meeting guests?
What kind of guest is her cousin?
Aren't they cousins?
The old servant then remembered that when the young man met Master Zhou just now, the etiquette between the two was really not like that of a father and son... The young man only gave a half-courteous greeting to Master Zhou... A half-courteous gesture at such a young age meant that the young man's
His status is higher than Master Zhou...
Naturally, the status of a son is not higher than that of me. Anyone who is higher than me is definitely not a son!
So, who is he?
A handsome young man who is taller than the Zhou family can enter this young lady’s house. No, no, not only can he enter the house, but he can also enjoy the lanterns together on the Mid-Autumn Festival!
It seems to be closely related...
Master, is your fiancée really going to be stolen?
This thought flashed across his mind, and the old servant himself shivered and laughed a little.
How is that possible? That fool!
Qin Shisanlang picked up the tea pushed over by his maid and took a sip.
"Are you really leaving?" he asked.
"Yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Shisanlang took another sip of tea.
"There is still time, wait until I prepare a practice banquet." He raised his eyebrows again and said happily, "We have already been to the river banquet. This time we will go to a more interesting place."
"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang said, smiling slightly.
"You have such a bad taste." Qin Shisanlang frowned and thought seriously, "I have to think carefully about where to go."
He also asked her what she liked to eat, what she liked to eat, and so on.
Cheng Jiaoniang answered them all with a smile.
Qin Shisanlang suddenly stopped talking and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Don't marry Wang Shiqi. I, my mother, have chosen a good wife for you." Qin Shisanlang said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him, smiled slightly, and reached out to push the box in front of her.
"Newly made snacks," she said.
Qin Shisanlang sat up straight.
"Cheng Jiaoniang." He said solemnly, "Their family is not good, so you don't have to wrong yourself."
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and smiled slightly.
"I have not wronged myself," she said.
"If there is a better family, you don't need this bad family." Qin Shisanlang said.
"Mr. Qin." Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and picked up a piece of snacks herself, "What do you mean by a better family?"
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and ate a piece of snack while looking at him with a smile.
Hiding half of the face under the wide sleeves, just look at those eyes, which has a unique flavor.
Qin Shisanlang lowered his head and picked up a piece of snack, turned away his eyes and ate slowly.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Mr. Qin, thank you for your concern." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Actually, it's all the same."
All the same?
No matter how good a family is, are they the same as the Wang family? Are there so many good-mannered young masters the same as Wang Shiqi, a loser?
How could it be the same?
"What if it's me?" Qin Shisanlang asked.
The maid outside the door and Ban Qin looked at each other. This must be the second time for this young man...
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and smiled.
"If you knew my rules, would you still let me treat your legs?" she asked.
Qin Shisanlang was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and his hand holding the tea bowl clenched tightly involuntarily.
It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like only a breath.
"I've committed the old habit of pretending again." He laughed, "Let the lady laugh."
The maid and Banqin looked at each other again, and the two of them smiled. Yes, the most important thing to a person is always himself.
"So, don't be sad about the spring and the autumn. There has never been a if in the world, it is what it is. Why bother to ask, it will only embarrass yourself." Cheng Jiaoniang said, smiling slightly, "I have something to do when I go.
I don't want to be distracted by such a small thing, I understand Mr. Qin's good intentions."
She said, picking up the water bowl.
"Water instead of wine."
Qin Shisanlang looked at her, squeezed out a smile, nodded, and picked up the tea bowl.
"Replace wine with tea," he said. "It seems that we can't wait to drink together."
"When we meet again, you can definitely drink." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Can we see you again?" Qin Shisanlang asked with a smile.
"It's okay if I don't see you." Cheng Jiaoniang said with a slight smile.
Qin Shisanlang laughed, raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
