When I got back to the upstairs suite, I was stopped by two nuns at the door and asked, "What is this?"

Zijuan apologized and said with a smile: "It's... the barbecue that Second Master Xiao Qiang respectfully gave to the girl."

One of them, Nanny Li, shook her head repeatedly and said, "How can someone as delicate as the girl eat such rough and fishy food? Throw it away quickly."

Hearing this, Zijuan took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Mother Li, stop talking about that soon. Don't you know what kind of temper that Second Master Xiao Qiang has outside? The old lady in Rongqing Hall wants to coax her Let me persuade you, what can you do if the elder and the master are so angry? Second Master Lian would be beaten to death if he dared to talk back to the elder on weekdays, but Second Master Xiaoqiang was fine. The second master still didn't let him board the boat, but in the blink of an eye, the Supreme Emperor gave the watch from the palace... We don't care what it is, but such a character, you dare to throw his things? Believe it or not, we threw it away , he can throw us into the river with his back foot."

Mother Li turned pale when she heard the words, but twisted her neck and said, "I'm afraid of him? If he dares to harm the girl, even if the lawsuit comes to the old lady, I'm not afraid!"

Having said that, the tone of his voice was very low and empty.

At the side, Nanny Sun smoothed things over and said: "Forget it, why bother to provoke such a person? Just let the girl give the sister a bite, just taste it a little bit."

Zijuan laughed and said, "Most of the girls don't even take a bite. You don't know her yet?"

……

"Girl, you...don't eat it?"

In the inner room, Zijuan looked at Daiyu sitting at the table, chewing and eating two skewers of barbecue, and persuaded with some concern.

Hearing this, Daiyu glanced at her black eyes, which were as nimble as the mist in the winter spring, and hesitated for a while, feeling a little regretful that she didn't eat the three skewers...

After wiping the corners of her mouth, she also asked curiously, "How can I love this?"

Zijuan said unhappily: "Amitabha! As long as the girl is willing to eat, I don't care what he does... Let's eat a bowl of porridge, just eat this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to digest, and it won't be beautiful if it hurts the stomach."

Daiyu nodded slightly and smiled.

Zijuan asked Xueyan to ask for porridge first, then turned around and asked in wonder, "What are you laughing at, Miss?"

Daiyu said: "The Hongfu girl's life experience is similar to mine, she is actually three points worse than me. I still have my grandmother's family to rely on, but she... But, she is not always like me, she just pretends to be like me. The man supports a family business. I have always been disobedient, but I never thought that there would be someone like her. It's also strange, every time I want to cry, I think of her, and then I can't cry. "

Zijuan comforted her and said: "It's not that she doesn't rely on others, and now she has fallen on the second master Xiaoqiang... Tell me, girl, this second master Xiaoqiang looks better, and he doesn't know whether he is good or bad. Miss Li, a heroine like a red-haired girl, how could she subdue him?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, and reminded: "It's not like you haven't heard about Brother Qiang, why do you say that?"

Zijuan faltered and said, "Nothing..."

Daiyu is such an intelligent and delicate person, one look at her appearance, she knows there must be something inside, so she said with a low face, "Is he making things difficult for you?"

Zicuckoo hurriedly said: "No..."

Daiyu turned pale with anger, and said, "You asked him for the barbecue, didn't he ask Xiangling to bring it?"

Zijuan's eyes flicked from left to right, but seeing that Daiyu was about to explode, she hurriedly explained: "Girl, don't be upset, it's true what he said to give to the girl, but when I said thank you for his filial piety, he actually He didn't answer, just laughed, and I thought he was disrespectful. If the girl doesn't like it, I'll return the barbecue to him, and give him money for the two skewers."

Daiyu let out a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said depressedly: "What is my way...you are also confused, have you never heard of his incident in Rongqingtang? Besides, in Lixiangyuan earlier, he and brother Baoyatou We are eating outside the window, and we are in the house, he said that we are just distant relatives of him who have passed away five times, and calling him aunt counts as affection, and in terms of blood relatives, we are far away from each other."

Zijuan jumped when she heard the words, and said, "Isn't this nonsense? He is the great-great-grandson of Ningguo, the head of the family. How did he become a distant relative with Rongguo?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Really, it's not a distant relative...so don't make jokes anymore, he treats the old lady like that, you still expect him to respect me?"

Zijuan smiled bitterly, and said: "I never thought that there are such bold people in the world, it is really..."

But Daiyu suppressed her smile, and said softly: "You don't understand, his parents died early, leaving him alone under the fence in the East Mansion, and escaped after being greatly wronged, if he hadn't left Great luck, it is unclear whether he is dead or alive at the moment. In such a situation, what do you want him to do? As long as he is a little weaker, he may not be able to live as a human being."

Daiyu was not only thinking about Jia Qiang, but also about herself.

Many people in Jia's mansion said that she spoke like a knife, but they didn't know how she could live with dignity if she didn't try to be stronger...

Those mothers and daughter-in-laws in the wealthy family, even the powerful girl Feng, hide behind their backs and make up gossip, let alone her?

It's a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise, she might be like Jia Qiang, stand upright and unyielding...

……

In the cabin on the first floor, when Jia Qiang and Li Jing finished looking at Li Jing's father, Li Fu, and returned to the bedroom to rest, they saw a cute and cute head protruding from the quilt on the bed, looking left and right Chou Chou, then suddenly came to his senses, got out of the quilt, and said obediently: "I'll bring you water to wash your feet."

Li Jing stepped forward to hold her down, and said with a smile, "Go to sleep, we washed it in the kitchen."

Xiangling said "Oh", and got under the quilt again, blinking her big eyes at the two of them.

Li Jing smiled when she saw it, and looked back at Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang said softly, "Squeeze, let's have a rest together. I haven't eaten any of the left and right, so I have to set up a table in a serious manner and go to the yamen to change my name. Please." Let’s talk after the sedan chair is carried into the house.”

Li Jing's eyes sparkled when she heard this, she first helped Jia Qiang take off her coat, and after helping him to get on the bed, she took out a copper coin, flicked her fingers, and the oil lamp on the table went out instantly.

Taking advantage of the darkness, she took off her outer clothes and just lay down on the bed when she heard a burst of applause, and the next person turned her head to look, but it was Xiangling who gave her a thumbs up in admiration elder brother……

Li Jing and Jia Qiang looked at each other and smiled, then closed their eyes.

……

PS: A new round of extraordinarily severe crackdown is coming again, emmm, let’s fight for not even a single chapter of this book will be blocked.

Chapter 95 The Hall of Mercy

In the early morning of the next day, it was cold in late autumn.

The river was covered with thick fog. If the boat hadn't docked at Jinmen Wharf before the fog, it would probably be trapped in the river right now.

However, due to the heavy morning fog, it was not possible to disembark for the time being.

But the wharf has already been buzzing with people, and there are hawkers who are selling early everywhere.

Lifus come here early in the morning, and spend two pennies to buy short-fried sesame cakes. If you are greedy, you can buy fried cakes, twisted twists, and a bowl of noodle tea, sorghum noodles, broomcorn noodles, hemp seeds, sesame paste, lard The fried noodle tea oil is also big, so you can feel full and hungry.

Of course, there are some finer ones. On both sides of the pier, there are many door shops that make a living by making food.

Jinmen is a passing place before the canal goes north to the capital, and most people will stop here for a while to rectify before going north, so there is no shortage of businesses on the wharf.

Although Jia Qiang was not familiar with these things, fortunately there was an old Jiang Hu by her side. Li Jing, who was disguised as a man, suggested that Jia Qiang and Xiang Ling get off the boat with her, and go to Jinmen for breakfast before the fog cleared.

So the three of them, Tietou, Zhuzi, and two members of the Jinsha Gang, got off the boat early in the morning, and went to a restaurant named Lao Guixiang to the east of the pier for breakfast.

The shop opened early, but there were not many customers in the shop.

The old shopkeeper was busy in front of the cabinet, and the two women seemed to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, chopping something in a small room, clanging.

Seeing Jia Qiang's group entering, the shopkeeper obviously didn't expect someone to come to eat before the fog cleared. He was a little panicked and surprised, after all, it was considered to be open for business, so he hurried out of the counter to welcome customers.

Jia Qiang, Li Jing, and Xiangling shared a table with three people, and Tietou and the others had another table. Li Jing was the host, and ordered five or six dishes. A member of the Jinsha Gang has already gone outside to buy a large portion of noodle tea and pastry biscuits.

Jia Qiang turned her head to look at the pillar, and wondered, "You guys even went to the Zuixian Tower with me, and you came here to learn how to be frugal?"

Tietou hurriedly said: "No, no, sir, don't misunderstand. It is precisely because I am more and more comfortable with the uncle that I don't pretend to be fake now. We really can't get used to those good ones. Let alone the small amount, the taste is not suitable for us. Taste. The noodle tea and pastry biscuits on the Jinmen Wharf are our favorites."
