The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 475

Liu Mingyi sat at home pitifully with a puffy face.Since yesterday, the bad guys who came to make trouble suddenly became more and more good and bad; the uncle also disappeared.Qi Shi didn't allow her to go out again, fearing that those people would hurt her; Pan Xigui originally wanted to stay at home, but Qi Shi persuaded her once, but still went to work early in the morning.The abuse and obscenities outside have intensified.

In the afternoon, those local ruffians started kicking the door.How could the thin door panels of their house stand up to being kicked?After a few feet, I heard "cracking" and the front door was completely shattered.Qi was so frightened that she picked up Liu Mingyi and hid behind her head.Liu Mingyi frowned, struggled out of her mother's arms, jumped off the ground and ran outside, passed by the threshold and picked up the small stool she usually sat on.Qi pushed her away from behind and shouted, "Yi'er come back!"

Liu Mingyi's short legs were much faster than her mother's. She ran out like a whirlwind, bumped into three tall and strong local ruffians head-on, and swung the stool to sweep the first one's ankle.Don't look at her small, she climbs wild trees on walls and trees every day, and her little arms still have some strength.The man was unsteady on his feet, and fell into the mud with a "plop".Liu Mingyi jumped past him and hit the second knee with another stool.This is a coincidence that the one who was beaten was unprepared, and his foot was unstable and he was on all fours.The third one was a little farther away from the two of them, and he saw clearly that it was a child, so he hurriedly slapped him.Liu Mingyi was faster than him, circling around his legs to get behind him, and knocked hard on the back of his knees with a stool.Good guy, a little girl knocked down three adults in the blink of an eye.Qi Shi held her mouth in shock.

When the local ruffians got up, Liu Mingyi stood in the middle of the yard holding a small stool.Qi hurriedly stepped forward to laugh with him: "Gentlemen! The child is still young and ignorant..." Before he could finish speaking, a local ruffian knocked him down.Liu Mingyi called out: "Mother!" She ran a few steps to help her mother, and heard a "plop" behind her.After she helped Qi to sit up and looked back, she saw a man appear out of nowhere in the courtyard.

This man was about 50 to [-] years old. He was wearing blue-gray cloth clothes and a bamboo hat on his head. He looked at the ruffian lying on the ground and said, "I despise sneak attacks the most in my life. You actually sneaked up on a child." Liu Mingyi Looking at this man admiringly, he turned his head and said, "Little baby, you already have one against three, the strong and the weak. This distraction to help others is to expose the shortcomings to the opponent."

Liu Mingyi pursed her mouth and argued, "This is my mother, not someone else."

The underground ruffian couldn't get up after crawling for a long time, and the other two looked at each other.One said: "Did you see this old man make a move just now?"

The other shook his head: "No! I didn't even see a shadow! Is he a human or a ghost?"

The one on the ground said: "Of course it's a human! There are no ghosts under the sun." Then he got up with an "ouch".

The three of them looked at each other a few more times, and clasped their fists together and said: "The old man is very skilled! I don't want this crazy girl to be so lucky, I will admit it! Green mountains and green waters, there will be a period later!" They all turned around and ran away.

Liu Mingyi only saw a figure flash by, and heard three "plops" and three "oops", and the three local ruffians fell to the ground.The man wearing the hat was already standing in front of them, and said calmly: "If you smashed someone's door, why don't they fix it?"

Qi hurriedly said: "No need, no need...it's not a good wood at all."

Liu Mingyi shouted loudly: "Of course I have to pay for it! There is no reason not to pay for things that are broken!"

Qi stomped anxiously: "Children, what do you know?" Nai looked at Dai Dou Li and said, "Hero! We are just ordinary small families. If you offend them, we will leave as soon as you leave tomorrow." There will never be peace again."

Dai Douli said: "Have you offended them before?"

Qi hurriedly said: "How dare the little girl offend these uncles!"

Dai Dou Li said: "Why are they coming to smash the door of your house now?" Qi was dumbfounded.

The three local ruffians struggled to get up from the ground, stared at Qi's mother and daughter for a long time, looked at Qi's mother and daughter, and looked at those wearing bamboo hats, and said with a bitter face: "Hero! Please spare us! We are just After hearing some gossip, saying that the daughter-in-law of the Pan family has a big client and wants to make a fortune, that's why I thought of asking her to borrow two small money temporarily."

The one who wears a hat just does not hear: "Losing money."

Liu Mingyi yelled from behind: "Losing money!"

The three had no choice but to obediently took out some copper coins from their pockets and put them on the ground.Wearing a hat, he took a look: "Probably enough. Let's go." As soon as the words fell, the three of them galloped out like rabbits.Liu Mingyi was so happy that "oh~~oh~~oh~~" she was having fun in the yard.

Qi went up to Dai Douli's deep blessing: "Thank you hero for saving me, but my family is poor and there is nothing to repay."

Wearing a hat, he looked at her and said, "These people are all wolves. The more you dodge, the less they will let you go. It's better to be strong, as persimmons are soft."

Qi said with a wry smile: "People like us, what can we use to be strong?"

As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door suddenly said: "Why does a character like Aunt Qi need to be strong? But anyone who disturbs you is either dead or beaten by a master from nowhere, or someone demolished the roof of the gambling house they often go to." .”

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a man in his forties came in from the outside. Coincidentally, he was also wearing a blue-gray cloth coat and a straw hat.Liu Mingyi looked at the one in the courtyard and the one that came in, and asked, "You two uncles, are you together?"

Dai Douli smiled and said: "You can call him uncle, I am old enough to be your grandfather." Nai cupped his hands to the man, "It seems that this friend did not pass by by chance."

The man in the straw hat said: "It's not true. A brother left my house the night before yesterday. I wonder if this friend knows him?"

Dai Douli said: "Dare to ask your brother's name?"

The man in the straw hat sneered, "Doesn't your friend recognize him?"

Dai Douli said: "This friend seems to have misunderstood something. My aunt saw the needlework of this sister-in-law of the Pan family at a friend's place. She liked it very much and came to order two things. Because the west of the city is not very peaceful, I was ordered to make a stand before. If there is any unsafe place, it is better to prepare earlier."

The one wearing the straw hat said strangely: "Sister-in-law Pan's family is lucky! It's only been a few days, and she has got two big customers?"

Dai Douli said: "I think it's because she is really good at craftsmanship. As the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

The one wearing the straw hat sneered, "I don't know which high school this friend is in."

Dai Douli pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm too petty to say anything. My aunt and grandma have a noble status, so I don't know if you deserve to know."

The one wearing the straw hat said: "I also have a bit of a status, I think I will not insult your lord's name."

Dai Dou Li said: "Forget the carriage is coming soon, I don't have time to chat with you now, if my friend is interested, let's talk later." Nai turned to Qi and said, "May Mrs. Pan tidy up a little?"

Qi hurriedly said: "Here we come!" He immediately went to get the broom.Liu Mingyi hurriedly picked up the copper coins from the ground, and with the help of wearing a hat, picked up the broken door board and put it by the wall.The man in the straw hat stood still coldly.

A few people had just finished tidying up, when they heard the neighing of horses and the sound of cart wheels outside, the person wearing a bamboo hat rushed out to greet them, and the Qi mother and daughter followed suit.I saw a Zhulun canopy car parked at the door, and a big maid was helping a young woman dressed as a young woman to get off the car, and said: "Third Grandma, be careful, this land is not very level." Wearing a hat, he clasped his fists in front of the door: "Grandma is here." The third grandma nodded slightly to him.Liu Mingyi opened her big eyes and looked around curiously; Qi Shi also stepped forward to be blessed, secretly startled.The style, luxury and grace of these three grandmothers must come from a high-class family.

The third grandma looked at Qi and said, "You must be Pan's sister-in-law." Qi bowed her head and answered "Yes".The third grandma smiled and said, "I saw a purse you made at a friend's house yesterday. I like it very much. She said that you have many interesting patterns here. I want to see it."

Qi hurriedly said: "It's a blessing to be able to win the favor of noble people."

The third grandma looked up and asked, "What's going on?"

The one wearing the hat said: "Going back to my aunt, just now there were rascals in the market who came to pick quarrels and troubles, and the villain has already beaten them away."

The third grandma frowned and said, "In broad daylight, there are such things at the feet of the emperor. Did Zhao Cheng get his salary for nothing?" Then she said to Qi, "Don't worry, sister-in-law Pan, those people dare not come again."

The man in the straw hat in the yard sneered, "I don't know grandma's name? Why do you have the final say?"

"My surname is Situ." The third grandmother said indifferently, "Can I have the final say?" She was so shocked that she wore a straw hat.

Qi hurriedly knelt down: "Minister girl kowtows to the nobleman." Then she winked at Liu Mingyi and ordered her to kowtow to the nobleman.Seeing this, the man in the straw hat walked out a few steps and also knelt down.

The third grandma looked at them and sighed softly: "I didn't intend to tell you your identity. That's all, get up."

Qi kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "Thank you nobleman for your kindness in protecting me."

The third grandma smiled and said: "Are you afraid that Ben Gong will leave after buying something and leave you alone?"

Qi hurriedly said, "Menwomen don't dare."

The third grandmother called to the man wearing the bamboo hat: "Old General Zhong, please go to the Wucheng Bingma Division later and get the picture of the son-in-law. Tell Zhao Cheng that there will be a second time about this matter. His official hat You don’t need to wear it.” Dai Douli bowed and clasped his fists in response to “Yes”.Hearing this, the man wearing the straw hat raised his head slightly to take a look at General Zhong who was wearing the bamboo hat.

Qi kowtowed vigorously again: "Thank you, Princess Long En."

"Come on, get up. We've got business to do."

Mrs. Qi kowtowed three more times before getting up, leading the way, the third grandma followed the servant girl's hand, followed by General Zhong, the man in the straw hat and the rest.

Qi bowed and said: "The daughters of the people are poor and can't afford tea. They don't dare to give the princess the dirty cups they use every day."

The third grandma smiled and said: "Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty. I just come here to have a look."

Mrs. Qi hurriedly went inside and found a large stack of flower patterns and handed them to the eldest maid. She stood by with her hands down;The third grandma looked at it for a while, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it looks like a flower in the palace."

Qi lowered her head and said: "Minutes have been in the palace for ten years, but they came out three years ago."

The third grandma nodded: "No wonder." Looking at Hua's appearance again, she said with a smile, "I have also been out of the palace for seven years."

The big servant girl said from the side: "The flowers in the palace really look extravagant, not like our needlework and vulgarity."

The third grandmother said: "There is no need to say these words, each has its own flavor." The eldest maid hurriedly bowed her head and agreed.The third grandma looked through it carefully again, ordered a dozen things in one go, and then asked Mrs. Qi if she could make clothes.

Qi: "Yes, yes. It's just that after leaving the palace, I only made some homely clothes. I don't know if I can catch the eyes of the princess."

The third grandma said: "I also have sewing and threading staff from the palace around me, but the patterns are not as complete as yours. You just do it, and your wages are indispensable anyway." Qi knelt down and thanked.

The two talked about some old things in the palace.The third grandma sighed: "Thinking back now, those days in the palace are like a dream."

Qi said: "That's not true. Minnies sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and don't know where they are."

Saying so, it disappeared in the blink of an eye for more than half an hour.The third grandma took out a small western pocket watch, glanced at it, and said, "It's time to go back."

Mrs. Qi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Send the princess off." The third mistress helped the big maid to go out, and even though the one in the straw hat didn't come in, she also knelt at the door.Qi got up and followed her out of the gate, then knelt down.

Until the third grandma's carriage turned out of the alley, Qi Shifang got up from the ground and looked back - the gate of their house has been installed!Liu Mingyi supported the door and said happily: "Your Majesty and Madam just sat down to talk, that grandfather wearing a bamboo hat ordered someone to go to the carpenter's shop to buy a door for our house to install."

Qi said: "That old general Zhong is really a good man." He couldn't help but shed tears again, "Okay! We can be considered safe."

Her mother and daughter went into the yard holding hands and saw that the one wearing the straw hat was still there!But old general Zhong had already left with the princess protected.Qi was a little scared and hugged Liu Mingyi tightly.The man in the straw hat sized up the two of them for half a day, then suddenly jumped onto the courtyard wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye!Liu Mingyi let out a "wow~~" and said, "He can fly~~"

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.Qi opened the door and saw that there were two yamen servants, their faces turned pale with fright: "You two servants, what's the matter?"

One said: "We belong to the Wucheng Bingma Division, and this is the leader of our Huang Squad."

Qi was overjoyed immediately, and his face relaxed, and he said all blessings: "Hello, Captain Huang."

Huang Bantou said: "Are you from the Pan family?"

"My husband's surname is Pan."

"Let me ask you, what does your family have to do with the Rongguo Mansion?"

Qi thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be her." Then he invited the two of them to sit in the room, and told what happened yesterday, with the intention of boasting in his words.

Only then did the two yamen servants understand.Huang Bantou said: "You stumbled to pick up gold bars, you are so lucky. Just don't worry, no one will dare to disturb you." Qi hurriedly thanked them, blushed and handed them dozens of copper coins, just saying " Right now it is really difficult, the princess has not yet received the reward." How could the two of them value this?Don't bother, just walk away.Qi chanted Buddha's name repeatedly.After that, no one dared to come to their house to make trouble.

At this time, Jia Cong had eaten and changed his clothes early and was about to go out when a servant came to report that a Mr. Liu was visiting.Jia Cong rushed out to have a look. It was the one whose eyes resembled the portrait of the owner of the noodle shop he had picked out at Liu's house that day. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu, hello. Why are you here so early in the morning?"

This person also clasped his fists and said, "I also hope that Mr. Jia will hand over our fourth child."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Huh? What?"
