Chapter 518 I know you are in a hurry, but don’t worry,
When Xu Changqing Jingtian went to the God Realm, Zhou Ji and Hongkui took care of Qing'er for a few days. Although he had never met Qing'er's descendants, the good relationship still existed. Seeing Zhao Pan'er bowing in front of him, he couldn't help but Showing a kind and gentle smile, he raised his hand falsely, motioning for Hongkui to help Pan'er up.
Ask about what happened last night, Zhao Pan'er only said that she happened to meet Yang's family and escaped by hiding in the pond, and concealed the picture of the night banquet, the queen's prophecy, and the existence of Gu Qianfan.
Since Zhao Paner didn't want to talk about it, Zhou Ji didn't ask any further questions. He cared about her body and injuries, chatted for a while, and then Zhao Paner left in a hurry.
Hearing that Zhao Pan'er was about to leave, Zhou Jiyu said gently, "Miss Pan'er's injury has not healed yet. I asked Xiaokui to give you some medicine for sores. It will take three or two days to recover. You might as well stay here for a few days. It’s not too late to go back to the tea shop after recuperating your body here.”
Hongkui nodded repeatedly and looked at Zhao Pan'er with almost the same expression.
For a while, Zhao Pan'er felt chills and uncomfortable.
She could feel that the two were full of sincerity in their kindness towards her, and it was by no means a playful, hypocritical politeness like in a romantic occasion.
But the more sincere they are, the weirder Zhao Paner's mood becomes.
Suppressing the complex feelings that I don't know how to describe in my heart, Zhao Pan'er bowed politely, and politely declined: "Young Master Zhou's wound medicine is quite effective, and the little girl's injury is no longer serious, so how dare you continue to bother me."
Zhao Pan'er said this, paused for a while, and before the two could persuade them to stay, she said goodbye and left on the grounds that the tea shop was smashed and had to be tidied up, and that she didn't return all night last night, worrying that Sun Sanniang was in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Zhao Pan'er who was almost running away, Zhou Ji and Hong Kui looked at each other in blank dismay, "Miss Pan'er was scared away by us?"
"Probably not?" Hongkui hesitated.
"So how did we offend her?"
Zhou Ji looked at Si Teng suspiciously. Si Teng stood with arms folded, raised eyebrows, looked up and down the two of them with scrutiny, raised his chin and said, "Turn around and have a look."
Zhou Ji and Hong Kui looked at each other, lifted their sleeves, and turned around in a daze.
There was a slight smile in the cold and plain eyes, Si Teng nodded pretending to be thoughtful, and wrote lightly: "You are all fine, you are all fine, you all look...very kind."
Kindness
Kindness
Si Teng glanced left and right, and stood there in a daze. The two statues, stepping on crisp footsteps, walked gracefully through it.
Over there at the tea shop.
Sun Sanniang got up in the morning and heard that there was a fire in the Yangtongpan mansion outside the city last night. When she found that Pan'er was not there, she escorted her son to the school and rushed to the tea shop to wait for others.
Seeing Zhao Pan'er's return, Sun Sanniang finally fell to the ground with the stone hanging in her heart. She took two steps forward and said with concern: "Pan'er~ You're finally back, I'm worried about you all night!"
"I'm sorry~ something happened yesterday, I just stayed at Miss Xiaokui's place for one night, and I didn't come to inform Sanniang in time." Zhao Pan'er didn't want Sun Sanniang to worry, so she repeated what she had just said about Zhou Ji's side, and kept it secret. The injury on his shoulder went away.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as the person is fine, it doesn't matter." Sun Sanniang stroked her chest in shock, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Because of the massacre of Yang's family just happened last night, Hongkui was worried about Zhao Pan'er's safety, coupled with shame and anger, she chased after him not long after.
Sun Sanniang was very grateful to Hongkui when she heard what happened last night.
She and Zhao Pan'er have been neighbors for many years, and they love each other as sisters. They know that it is not easy for a daughter's family to show up alone, not to mention supporting a scholar who has been studying for years.
After yesterday’s outlawing at the tea shop and taking care of Pan’er last night, the relationship between the three has improved a lot, but this nightshade girl looks young, and she just doesn’t want to be commensurate with their sisters
After yesterday's riots, the tea shop has not been tidied up in time. Zhao Pan'er is worried that Ouyang, as a scholar, will have a bad reputation if he marries a merchant. In fact, he has already made preparations to close the shop. Now that the tea shop has been smashed, it is God's will, just to take stock with Sun Sanniang What else can be used in the tea shop, change hands and go out to exchange for some money.
Sun Sanniang persuaded her to keep the tea shop, thinking that she could help her make some fruit introductions and collect bills, so there was really no need to close the shop.
At this moment, a crooked figure came from a distance with luggage on his back.
Hongkui glanced at the dusty old man, saw him pacing at the door, and motioned to the two of them: "It seems that someone is coming, do you know him?"
"Who is it?" Sun Sanniang took a look, not sure: "Hey, Pan'er, do you think that person looks like Uncle De?"
"Uncle De?" Zhao Pan'er held the cup and looked in the direction Sun Sanniang was pointing at. His eyes lit up and he said with joy, "It's really Uncle De!"
Overjoyed, she even forgot to let go of the cup in her hand, and quickly walked towards the door with the skirt in one hand.
"Uncle De, why are you here?"
"The old slave pays homage to Mrs. Zhao."
When Uncle De saw Zhao Paner, he settled down a bit, bowed his hands, and was helped up by Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner looked around and found that Uncle De was the only one coming back. He looked forward to it and said anxiously: "Where's Ouyang? Is he okay? He won't fail again, right?"
"Hey~how can I~!" Uncle De said with a bit of pride in his tone, "It's the good news for the old slave to come back!"
"Happy news? Could it be that Ouyang passed the exam?" Sun Sanniang wiped her hands on the apron and said pleasantly.
Uncle De stroked his beard triumphantly and said: "Handpicked by the butler Jiyingdian Yubi, the master is now a Jinke Tanhua!"
"Tanhua!" Zhao Pan'er covered her mouth and exclaimed, tears rolled in her eyes, and she was so excited that she was about to cry, "I hit it, I really hit it!"
Sun Sanniang saw Zhao Paner and Uncle De excited, and asked curiously, "Which number is Tanhua?"
"The third place in the imperial examination." Hong Kui casually explained to Sun Sanniang the difference between No. 1 and No. 2 Tanhua, and her eyes kept falling on Zhao Pan'er and the old man named Uncle De.
"Isn't that amazing!" Sun Sanniang clasped her hands together and laughed, "I said you were born to be a Jinshi lady! Then when you come to Beijing, I'll help you pack your bags!"
Zhao Pan'er realized it now, thinking that Uncle De was going to take her to Beijing on this trip, so he led him into the tea shop and sat down, constantly interrupting the other party's conversation.
"Pan'er, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, at least let Uncle De finish the sentence, right?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle De, I was a little too happy, and I got confused for a while. What do you want to say? Xiaokui and Sanniang are both family members, so it's okay." Zhao Pan'er rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "This It's been a long journey, so sit down and rest, and I'll make you a cup of tea."
Uncle De saw that there were strangers there, and it was difficult to say what he wanted to say, but when he saw Zhao Paner say this, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "Ms. Let's talk"
"Huh?" Zhao Pan'er was still bending over to tinker with the tea stove. He heard that Uncle De's tone was wrong, put down the fan, straightened up and squeezed out a blunt smile, "Why... what's wrong?"
"I didn't come to pick you up to Beijing." Uncle De emphasized, "Master, he was lucky to be married by a virtuous concubine in the palace. After Gu Yu, he will marry Gao Observer's daughter."
Zhao Pan'er originally enjoyed going to the capital to marry Ouyang, becoming a Jinshi wife, and regaining her original noble and happy life.
Uncle De's words sounded like a thunderbolt in his ears. Zhao Pan'er's eyes went dark, his eyes were blank, and he felt all the strength in his body was gone. If Sanniang hadn't helped her in time, she might have fallen to the ground. up.
"What high observation?"
The unwavering tone came from in front of him, and in a daze, Uncle De seemed to see a mass of burning red flames surging towards him.
As the neck was restrained, the red flames in front of his eyes dissipated like a phantom, leaving only a gloomy woman in red clasping his neck with one hand, picking it up casually like pinching a small chicken.
"Xiaokui, don't!" Zhao Pan'er paled and supported Sanniang to stand still, and shook his head pleadingly towards Hongkui.
Uncle De is an old slave of the Ouyang family after all, even if the Ouyang family fell to this point, he would never leave him.
In case there was a misunderstanding and Hong Kui hurt Uncle De, how would he explain to Ouyang.
"Miss Zhao, save me" Uncle De didn't think that the woman in red would dare to do something, his head became red, and he asked Zhao Paner for help in a panic.
Hong Kui threw Uncle De down the steps with a thud, and asked again who 'Gao Guan' was with an ugly face.
Uncle De fell on his back, took a few breaths, and said in horror, "After the Guangji Army's Jiedu observation stay, the Deputy Commander of the Infantry Army made Gao Hu."
Sun Sanniang hesitated to speak, looked at Zhao Pan'er worriedly, wanted to persuade but didn't know how to speak.
"Say it again." Zhao Pan'er had tears in her eyes, as if with a hint of expectation, hoping that Uncle De was lying to herself.
"Official Ouyang is going to marry Gao Hu's daughter." Uncle De moved a few steps aside, looked at Hongkui with some fear, shrugged his shoulders and said.
The last glimmer of hope faded away.
Zhao Pan'er calmed down instead.
Or. She aspires to become the wife of a Jinshi. After restoring a dignified life, she will always find a new hope for herself after one hope is shattered.
Seeing that Hongkui couldn't hold back her anger and was about to attack Uncle De again, Zhao Pan'er supported the fence and walked down the steps, standing between Hongkui and Uncle De and said, "Even the official family will not condone foreign relatives seizing the wives of ministers, I know He had already left his citizenship at that time, I was a son of a good family,
Could it be that the Gao family didn't ask Ouyang if he had a marriage contract before this. "
"I asked, but there is no parental order between the master and Mrs. Zhao, and there is no matchmaker's words, then" Uncle De's words added fuel to Hongkui's roiling anger.
Hongkui raised her foot and kicked the old thing to the ground, Zhao Pan'er quickly stretched out her arms to block Hongkui, looked at Uncle De and said, "When I was engaged to Ouyang, Uncle De, you and Yinzhang, still There are three members of Sanniang's family who are all witnesses. How can you say there is no evidence?"
Although Sanniang didn't act directly like Hongkui, she was quite indignant at Uncle De's words, and said angrily, "Pan'er, why are you still telling him these things? We're going to sue the officials if we regret our marriage and refuse to marry." ! See what he says!"
"Can't sue officials, can't sue officials!"
Hearing the complaint to the officer, the old man became anxious. He was crying on the ground just now, but now he got up like a normal person, and said with an old face: "Miss Zhao, if this matter Do you want everyone in the world to know that you are an official prostitute?"
What Zhao Paner cares most about is that she was born as an official prostitute, so she often talks about 'leaving her nationality' and 'beloved'.
It's a pity that concepts like 'innocent', 'clean' and 'virgin' don't have the right opportunity to express, and they can only be used to remind themselves.
"Shameless old thief!"
Hongkui clenched her fists and slammed the old man's face, only to hear a loud bang, blood sprayed, the front teeth broke, the old man screamed and covered his collapsed nose bridge, the whole person flew upside down for a few steps, and fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.
"Uncle De!"
Zhao Pan'er hurried forward, only to see the old man's eyes were closed tightly, his face was covered with blood, and only a miserable whine could be heard coming from his throat.
"Xiaokui, you! What are you doing!"
Zhao Paner flusteredly touched the old man's neck, felt the weak pulse, showed anxiety, first asked the stunned Sanniang to find a doctor, then glared at Hongkui angrily, and said dissatisfied.
"No, this old man humiliated you so much, I think he is upset and teach him a lesson, why are you angry?" Hong Kui noticed Zhao Pan'er's angry expression, but didn't react for a while.
"No matter what you say, he is Ouyang's man. Every year in the imperial examination, there is always a saying that he will catch his son-in-law. In case there is any misunderstanding, in case Ouyang is forced by Gao's family, in case" Zhao Pan'er said here, he also has some I couldn't make it up anymore, and said in silence for a moment, "In short, you hurt Uncle De, how can I explain to Ouyang."
"What are you talking about, the old man has already spoken so bluntly, why are you still speaking for him?" Hongkui frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that Zhao Pan'er in front of her was a little strange.
Zhao Paner shook his head and said, "I won't give up until I see Ouyang with my own eyes."
"So, Miss Pan'er is going to Beijing to find that man named Ouyang?"
At the Qiantang Inn, Zhou Ji glanced at the angry Hongkui, and couldn't help but ask: "Then shall we go?"
"Go!" Hongkui had some trouble with Zhao Paner because of the old thing, but she still said without hesitation that she would go.
Zhou Ji laughed dumbfoundedly, and turned to look at Si Teng at the desk, "Where is Si Teng?"
"I also really want to see what Chen Shimei looks like in this era." Si Teng picked up the brush and wrote the word "Chen Shimei" on the rice paper, and looked up at Zhou Ji.
"Say Chen Shimei, say Chen Shimei, what do you think I am doing?"
Zhou Ji looked at himself silently when he saw Si Teng finished speaking, and couldn't help complaining.
