back to the field

Tang Qingman's heart beat like a beating drum, "bang bang", "bang bang", every time it hit her nerves, it made her more tense, and she forgot how to react for a while.

In the past, Qin Zhen would not have made Tang Qingman difficult, and would have changed the subject, but this time she didn't, and looked straight at Tang Qingman.

"The collapse of the mountain is not a trivial matter. Maybe the mountain god got angry, and I don't know whose tombs are unlucky..." Tang Qingman said nervously.

"I don't know. Some of the coffins are exposed, and some are buried in straw mats. The bones are all scattered. I don't know where they are scattered."

Tang Qingman's expression changed suddenly, she wished she could run over there immediately to check if Tang Sixian's tomb was safe.

Qin Zhen said: "The tombs of other people's families are handled properly by their relatives and descendants. Why should you worry about them, Ah Tang?"

Tang Qingman responded with difficulty, she could never tell Qin Zhen that her closest relatives were also lying there.

For a while, she was restless, and wanted to wait for Tang Sixian to come back and investigate on her behalf, but Tang Sixian was worried about Zheng Jinglun's affairs again, and she shouldn't bother her with such matters .

Tang Qingman simply found an excuse and prepared to go back on his own.

She said to Qin Zhen: "Ms. Zhen, I haven't visited my aunt for a long time, and I don't know how she is now, whether she is being bullied. I want to go back and visit her."

Qin Zhen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Maybe I haven't visited her for a long time, I'll go back with you!"

Tang Qing was sweating profusely: "No, we're all going back. Isn't there no one to take care of Si Xian?"

Qin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Does she look like she needs someone to take care of her?"

Any one of them can wash and cook, and housework in life is not a problem at all, so there is no situation in which one needs the other's care more than the other.

Tang Qing was at a loss for words, and after a long time, he said: "But leaving her alone at home, she seems a little pitiful."

"In a few days, the officials will be able to rest and go back with us to visit my aunt. Ah Tang is not in a hurry, right?"

"..., no hurry, I'm not in a hurry."

Tang Qingman never felt that Qin Zhen was such a difficult person, but she gradually realized that the reason why Qin Zhen was more difficult than usual was because she saw something?

Qin Zhen suddenly remembered something, and said apologetically, "I remembered, the elder brother was not talking about the collapse of the mountain over Guwu Village, but the collapse of a mountain in Fengxian Township near Guwu Village."

Tang Qingman: "..."

She felt that she had just climbed up from the swamp, and she was greatly relieved, but also physically and mentally exhausted.

"Ms. Zhen, how could you hear me wrong?"

She broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Zhen looked quite hurt, and said: "I misremembered, but it's really sad that Ah Tang blamed me for this."

Tang Qingman knew he was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and explained: "I'm sorry Zhenniang, I didn't mean to blame you, I was just in a hurry."

Qin Zhen held her hand in turn, and asked again: "A Tang has never even been to Guwu Village, why was he so nervous when he learned that something happened in the cemetery in Guwu Village, and after I said it didn't happen in Guwu Village, Will the emotion be so big? Could it be that someone from Atang is buried in the cemetery over Guwu Village?"

"Zhen, Mrs. Zhen—" Tang Qingman's heart was about to jump into his throat.

"If A-Tang's relatives or friends are buried there, there is no reason for A-Tang to hide it from me, unless the person buried there is someone who cannot let anyone know his identity, but is closely related to you!"

After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Qingman with a complicated expression, and finally let go of her hand: "Forget it, Ah Tang, if you don't want to talk, I shouldn't force you to ask."

Tang Qingman and her are like sisters, but they are not real sisters after all, and she is not qualified to press Tang Qingman.So she chose to ask Tang Sixian.Tang Qingman kept it from her. She could say that the two of them were not relatives whose blood was thicker than water, but she and Tang Sixian were already the closest two, and Tang Sixian shouldn't hide it from her.

Of course, instead of asking, she hoped that Tang Sixian could tell her.

-

On Tang Sixian's side, Zheng Jinglun was afraid that others would not know that he had a backer behind him, so he ran towards the tea farm as soon as the tea farm opened.

Tang Sixian looked at him and didn't give him a good look: "The agreed seven days, what are you doing here in just a few days?"

"Let me take a look and prevent you from playing tricks."

Zheng Jinglun was secretly delighted in the first two days after he found out that Tang Sixian could be used as a threat, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, for fear that Tang Sixian would kill people to silence him.Especially during the three days of heavy rain, he was also trapped in the foot shop and couldn't go out. When a thunder struck at night, he would wake up from his sleep, worrying that Tang Sixian would come to kill him at night.

Because of his guilty conscience, during these three days, he kept changing his residence, and came to see Tang Sixian during the day, staring at her to prevent her from saying that the seven days were just to delay time, so that he could secretly kill him.

"I came here to deal with official business at dawn, and I didn't go back until dark. You treat me as you, and you only stare at one thing every day when you're full and have nothing to do?" Tang Sixian didn't even give him a straight look.

Zheng Jinglun was sullen because of her arrogant attitude, but he also knew that a ruthless person like Tang Sixian pushed her into a hurry, so maybe he really broke up with him.

"Hmph, then you'd better get things done for me quickly!" Zheng Jinglun left after finishing speaking.

When he went back, he always felt that someone was staring at him from behind, but when he turned his head, there were pedestrians behind him, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he hurried back to the foot shop to wait.

At night, he was awakened by the movement outside again. After he couldn't fall asleep, he pondered all night: "If you want to completely tie yourself to that fake Tang Sixian, you have to rely on other means. Apart from his identity, he has There is one weakness - his wife, Qin Shi, and his nominal elder sister, Tang Qingman. After all, Qin Shi is the wife he is currently marrying, so it is not very useful, but that Tang Qingman, who has not been married for even ten years..."

He smiled wretchedly, "If I can tie her by my side, the fake Tang Sixian will definitely be cautious in the future and dare not act rashly. In the future, she will definitely become a good chess piece for my Zheng family to make a fortune!"

The next day, he came to Tang's house openly and aboveboard. Seeing that the door was open, he opened it unceremoniously and entered.Seeing him, Tang Qingman almost screamed in fright, but she covered her mouth in time.

"You—" Tang Qingman was anxious, angry and scared, Tang Sixian went out, Qin Zhen was still at home, Zheng Jinglun dared to enter the house, it was too presumptuous!

"Miss Tang is at home. I called you outside the door, but you didn't respond, so I'll take it as if you agreed to let me in." Zheng Jinglun said confidently.

Qin Zhen heard the movement and rushed out.She thought it was some acquaintance who would push the door in so familiarly, but she didn't expect it to be a strange man.And listening to his words and seeing Tang Qingman's reaction, they seem to know each other?

"Who are you?" Qin Zhen hid the female celebrity scissors behind his back, and quietly moved to Tang Qingman's side.

"I'm a friend of your officials and an old acquaintance of Mrs. Tang."

Tang Qing blushed with anger: "Who is an old acquaintance with you!"

Qin Zhen thought for a while, and asked Tang Qingman in a low voice: "Is he the fellow townsman you mentioned that day?"

Tang Qingman paused and nodded with difficulty.

Qin Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Yuanwai Zheng! I don't know why Yuanwai Zheng came to the door today? My family's officials went to the tea plantation, and Yuanwai Zheng may have to make a trip for nothing today."

Zheng Jinglun said cheekily: "It doesn't matter if he's here or not, it's the same for me to catch up with Mrs. Tang!"

"Today, we are the only two women in the Tang family and it is inconvenient to see guests at home. Please, Mr. Zheng, don't hurt our reputation."

Zheng Jinglun thought to himself, it would be good if it hurts, he hoped that Tang Qingman's reputation would be rotten, so that he would have more reason to force her to go with him.

He said: "Tang Sixian and I are 'brothers in love', he probably won't care about this!"

Immediately he looked at Tang Qingman, "In a few days, when I finish my work here, you can go back to Shezhou with me!"

Tang Qingman was shocked: "What did you say? Who is going back to Shezhou with you!"

"Isn't it because you can't get married and no one wants you for a long time? In this case, I will reluctantly accept you. Don't worry, when you return to Shezhou, I will resettle you in another house, and I will never ask anyone to arrest you." Go bullying. You follow me, rich and rich. I will not dislike your past..."

"Get out!" Tang Qingman grabbed Qin Zhen's scissors, and rushed forward to fight Zheng Jinglun desperately.

Zheng Jinglun was some distance away from her, so he turned around and ran in the yard in fright, and shouted: "Come half a step further, I want you and Tang Sixian to be buried with me!"

Qin Zhen stopped her while comforting her: "A Tang, stop, calm down."

Tang Qingman stopped chasing him slowly under Qin Zhen's obstruction, and was about to fight him desperately, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she stared at him bitterly.

Zheng Jinglun was sweating from fright. He pointed at Tang Qingman: "I'll give you three days to think about it. If Tang Sixian does the work for me first and you don't give me an answer, I'll make you look good!"

Qin Zhen stood in front of Tang Qingman and said, "I don't know what kind of fellow countryman or friend you are with the officials, but you are so rude and shameless, I feel disgusted even if I say a word to you."

"Heh!" Zheng Jinglun didn't take her seriously.

Qin Zhen suddenly grabbed the shoulder pole next to him and beat him fiercely, calling out while beating: "Catch the thief!"

"How dare you!" Zheng Jinglun was furious.

"Why don't I dare?" Qin Zhen asked back.

Zheng Jinglun remembered that Qin Zhen was ignorant of this matter, and he threatened Tang Sixian and Tang Qingman to pay back, but he couldn't threaten her.

He didn't want to be caught as a thief by the government, and he would only fight with Tang Sixian, so he fled in a hurry.

The neighbors were startled, and just came out to meet him, and one of the neighbors recognized him as the man who was wandering around in the alley, staring at the Tang family, and called out, "That's him, he's a thief, he's been staring at the Tang family. The Tang family has been here for a few days, catch him quickly!"

Called by neighbors, everyone came forward to arrest Zheng Jinglun.Zheng Jinglun managed to escape in the end, but his face was scratched several times, and his clothes were also torn many times. He was very embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth angrily: "My surname is Tang, I will remember this account, and I will settle the account with you!"

After he was beaten away, the neighbors saw that Qin Zhen was out of breath, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Qin, how are you doing? Is there any money loss in the family?"

"No, I discovered him after he sneaked in. Fortunately, he was discovered in time, and thanks to everyone for helping us, I beat the thief away for us."

The neighbor waved his hand: "It's a pity that he escaped. I don't know if he will come back for revenge. You'd better be careful."

"I know."

Qin Zhen thanked them, took out some caramel at home and distributed them to them, then went home and closed the door, and then tied it with a wooden peg.She turned her head and saw Tang Qingman squatting on the ground, her face was pale, her heart ached slightly, she went over and said, "Ah Tang, it's okay."

Tang Qingman grabbed her sleeves, regained his senses a little, and said, "Mother Zhen, I'm fine, I'm just a little scared."

"I'll make you some soothing soup."

Tang Qingman hurriedly said: "No need for Mrs. Zhen, I will take it easy."

Qin Zhen helped her into the house, and then said: "It seems that he is really as bad as you said."

Tang Qingman nodded, not wanting to talk too much about Zheng Jinglun.

She knew very well that Zheng Jinglun's purpose in taking her away was to contain Tang Sixian and make Tang Sixian use him for the rest of his life.

She couldn't be Tang Sixian's burden, so she came up with an idea, - could she follow Qin Zhen's example and find someone to propose marriage to her, so that Zheng Jinglun could not take her away as an excuse?

But there are not many days left until Tang Sixian gives him tea, even at this time, it's too late for her to ask someone to propose marriage, right?

At this time, the door was knocked.Tang Qingman's heart rose instantly, Qin Zhen looked at her and said, "I'll go and open the door."

Holding the pole in her hand, she asked through the door, "Who is knocking on the door outside?"

"Is it my cousin? I'm Yun Changjie."

Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Zhen opened the door.Yun Changjie stood outside the door, a little confused: "It's broad daylight, cousin, why did you close the door? And this pole..."

Qin Zhen put the shoulder pole back to its original position, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be my cousin. This shoulder pole fell to the ground, so I just picked it up."

She successfully dismissed the topic of why the door was closed, but Yun Changjie didn't care, said "Oh", and subconsciously glanced into the room, seeing Tang Qingman in the main room, and looked away again.Said, "Cousin, I, I want to ask you, when, when will you return to Zhenqian Village to attend cousin Ruan Lun's big wedding, and I can just go there with you."

"Brother got married on the twenty-eighth day, and we will go back on the twenty-sixth day."

"Then, then I came to find you on the [-]th?"

Qin Zhen nodded: "Well, I'll talk to the officials tonight."

It's not good for Yun Changjie to stay here any longer. He was about to leave when Tang Qingman came out of the room and stopped him, "Yun Dalang, please stay. I have something to ask for your help."

This was the first time Tang Qingman took the initiative to talk to him, and he was quite excited, wishing that his feet had already taken root, so he had a reason to stay longer.

"Miss Tang, please tell me."

Qin Zhen gave Tang Qingman a puzzled look, but Tang Qingman didn't intend to ask her for advice.She gritted her teeth and said, "Can you marry me?"

Both Qin Zhen and Yun Changjie were stunned. The former was stunned with a hint of understanding, but the latter was surprised by a kind of good luck.

"Tang, Miss Tang, are you, are you proposing marriage to me?" He stuttered during the first conversation with Tang Qingman.

"Yes, I'm proposing marriage to you."

Qin Zhen knew why Tang Qingman did this, but she didn't want Tang Qingman to make such a sacrifice, nor did she want to involve Yun Changjie.Then he stepped forward and said, "Cousin Yun, Ah Tang hasn't said anything."

Yun Changjie slowly calmed down from his joy. He didn't understand why Qin Zhen denied Tang Qingman's decision, but seeing Tang Qingman also looked hesitant, he obviously didn't like him, so he was willing to propose marriage.

"Why, why?"

"Mother Zhen, I am willing." Tang Qingman said.

"A Tang, I know what you're thinking. If the officials come back and find out about this, she will still object." Qin Zhen glanced at Yun Changjie, his voice lowered a lot, "Besides, it's not good for Cousin Yun. unfair."

Tang Qingman opened her mouth, her eyes were red again, she choked up and said, "I know, but I have no other choice."

"You have to trust the officials...and me, we can figure out a way."

Tang Qingman didn't speak any more, and Yun Changjie stayed silent.

He looked at Tang Qingman in disappointment, and couldn't bear Tang Qingman's ashamed look, and said, "I don't know what troubles you have encountered, but if Miss Tang can solve the problem by proposing marriage to me, then I will voluntarily agree to propose marriage and help you." You guys are busy."

"Cousin Yun—"

Yun Changjie said anxiously: "I know Miss Tang doesn't care about me, and maybe she just wanted to get out of a certain predicament when she proposed marriage to me, but I don't mind helping. When your predicament is over, it's okay to void the marriage. I want to help you out. Miss Tang shared her worries..."

"You don't have to be involved." Tang Sixian's voice sounded behind him.

Everyone was startled by her sudden appearance, and no one answered for a while, so that the atmosphere froze for a second.

Qin Zhen regained his composure first: "Officer, why are you back?"

It's only noon, why did Tang Sixian come back?

"I heard that there was a thief at home. I was worried about your safety, so I rushed back. How are you, are you okay?" Tang Sixian took Qin Zhen's hand, looked at her, then at Tang Qingman, and saw the two Everyone was fine and touched the sweat on their foreheads.

"What? You, your house was burglarized?!" Yun Changjie was surprised.

"The 'thief' was discovered by us in time, and he ran away with the neighbors." Qin Zhen could not explain the truth to Yun Changjie, so he lied.

Tang Sixian looked at Yun Changjie: "There are a lot of things at home recently, and it's a bit messy, and I don't have time to entertain you right now, please forgive me."

Seeing that she had given the order to chase away guests, Yun Changjie should have taken the opportunity to leave, but Tang Qingman's actions just now gave him a lot of courage, he said: "Tang, Tang worship, I, I want to propose marriage to you again. Even if it's just a kiss As a pretense, I am also willing to help Miss Tang."

"It's the same sentence, don't involve you. You can give up your reputation and face, but you can't ignore your family. And I will only let my sister be on the premise that she is not affected by any unfavorable factors. , marry willingly."

Yun Changjie left here with a heavy heart.

Tang Sixian brought Qin Zhen and Tang Qingman back to the main room before asking, "What happened?"

Qin Zhen brought Zheng Jinglun here and proposed to take Tang Qingman away.Tang Sixian's face was covered with frost, and he said coldly: "He thinks well!"

Qin Zhen patted her hand, suggesting that she appease Tang Qingman, while he went to cook soothing soup.No matter what, Zheng Jinglun came to Tang's house today so disgusted them, if he didn't drink some soothing soup, he might not be able to sleep at night.

"Sixian, I'm sorry." Tang Qingman looked at Tang Sixian guiltily.

"Sister, don't blame yourself. The root cause is not yours. Why do you have to pay for the insatiable greed of a scum like Zheng Jinglun?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Zhen who was picking dried herbs in the yard and asked, "Ah Did sister mention Zheng Jinglun's name to Zhenniang?"

Tang Qingman was taken aback, and said, "Never..."

The author has something to say: Probably, in the next chapter, the matter of Mr. Zheng will be resolved.

I ate a few mouthfuls (really a few mouthfuls) of milk and sago that had been kept in the refrigerator overnight, but I vomited all over.
