start to be happy

The three of them were embarrassed for a while, but the thick-skinned Chen Chen spoke first, "Well... If you don't mind, I am willing to escort the two of you back home."

Qi Qiao and the two of them had long been reassured by him, so they agreed. After all, two "women" were on the road alone, and no one could be reassured.

The three arrived at the gate of Weicheng safely, but Chen Chen didn't intend to go in, after all, his clothes were too conspicuous.

"You two young masters, I will send you here and not enter the city." Chen Chen apologized a little.

Qi Qiao and the two looked at each other, and they also understood that Chen Chen's clothes were too eye-catching, so they didn't intend to force them to stay.Although Qi Qiao was reluctant, she asked Zhi Xiang to take all the silver on her body and give it to Chen Chen as a token of gratitude.Chen Chen was in need of this, so he took advantage of the opportunity without refusing.After Qi Qiao said goodbye, they entered the city.Chen Chen went back along the way he came - when he came, he saw a small wooden house, and there were only two old people going in and out in front of the door, and he was going to go in and rest for the night - the old people were kind-hearted, and there were not many people there, so as not to be watched by crowds.

The wooden house was not far from the city gate, and we arrived in a short while.Chen Chen knocked on the wooden door.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Who is it?" An old voice sounded.

"Old man, Chen Chen, who was born late, passed by here and saw that it was getting late, so he wanted to stay overnight. Is it okay?" Chen Chen copied Tang Seng's words from Journey to the West.

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and a white-haired old man came out. Seeing Chen Chen's weird attire, he paused and asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

Chen Chen repeated the rhetoric he used to deceive Qi Qiao.Obviously, people in ancient times were very simple. Although the old man thought it sounded like what was said in the scriptures, seeing Chen Chen's frank face, he believed it.Opening the wooden door, he introduced Chen Chen into the room and greeted his wife: "My wife, here is a young man who came down from the mountain. Go and treat him with hot dishes."

Another gray-haired old man opened the door curtain and came out.

This old man is much thinner, with a kind face and neatly combed hair.After seeing Chen Chen, he was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his wife, seeing that his wife was so calm, he went to the kitchen to warm up the dishes.

Chen Chen and the old man sat at the table, and the old man picked up the teapot and poured Chen Chen a cup of tea.Chen Chen quickly took it with both hands, took a sip, and quenched his thirst.

"Boy, where are you from?"

"I don't know either. I grew up in the mountains with my master, and my master didn't tell me." Chen Chen said, thank you for the novel and TV!

The old man was a little curious, "Oh? In the mountains? Who is your master?"

"My master liked to walk around when he was young, but when he got older, he found a secluded place deep in the mountains with a good environment."

"Oh! That's it! Your master must be very knowledgeable." The old man admired him a little.

"Well, the master is very knowledgeable." In the 21st century, there are all kinds of knowledge about horses and gods.

"Then what are you going to do when you go down the mountain?" Old people like to ask young people about their careers.

"I don't know too well. The master only let me go down the mountain to practice."

"Well... why don't you go to the city to have a look. Although this Weicheng is not a big town in the Qing Kingdom, it is not small. It is quite famous. There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Businessmen from other places have to pass through if they want to enter the capital. This is still very rich." The old man was very kind and gave Chen Chen some suggestions.

Chen Chen thought for a while, and replied: "Thank you, old man, for your reminder! You know, I don't know anything about this place! You see, the master asked me to go down the mountain, and he didn't even prepare clothes for me, let alone money. It's okay I accidentally helped a young master on the way, and the young master gave some money to express his gratitude."

"My son? Whose son? You know, the son of a rich family doesn't go out easily. Who did you help?"

"His surname is Qi, and his name is Qi Qiao..." He repeated the person who saved people on the road.

The old man was very surprised, "It's from the Qi family?!" He seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but sigh...

"Hey... poor Mr. Qi! What a good brother! But he encountered such a thing! Fortunately, he was saved by you, or..." The old man looked at Chen Chen gratefully.

"When the road is rough, it's just that you draw your sword to help. Anyone would be saved." Chen Chen sought truth from facts, "Excuse me, Mr. Qi..."

Seeing that Chen Chen didn't know anything and liked this kind-hearted young man, the old man told the rumor that Weicheng was not a secret...

"This Qiqiao is the only son of Mr. Qi, the second largest family in Weicheng. Let's not talk about Mr. Qi first, but Mr. Qi first. You know, Mr. Qi was the number one scholar in his ancestors and was a high-ranking official. Later The senior official returned home, returned to Weicheng, built the Qi Mansion, bought land and rented land to build a shop, and became a squire here. After the senior official passed away, it was passed on to the old man Qi for two generations. The Qi family Although it's a bit of a downturn, it still has a lot of family background, and no one dares to provoke it in Weicheng. And Mr. Qi is a well-known benevolent person, who often helps those poor families, and the people in all the towns and villages miss him. Good. But good people don’t get rewarded. Mr. Qi has only had one brother in his life. Although he is only a brother, he still holds it in the palm of his hand.” The old man was a little thirsty, so he poured a glass of water and drank it. Continue to say: "Young Master Qi, this brother is good in everything - he is filial and skillful, but he is in poor health. He has been taking medicine all the time, and he looks ugly. He is called ugly and unsalted. He has not married yet at the age of eighteen. , other people’s brothers are called daddy when they reach his age. Mr. Qi is distressed and introduced some fathers, but Mr. Qi is unwilling and has been dragging on. It’s going to be 19 years old, but I really can’t get married Already! Mr. Qi is in a hurry, he has no choice but to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives tomorrow—this marriage will be determined by God!"

The old man took another sip of water, "Who wants to marry a good old man in the city! Only those who have no good intentions will grab the hydrangea. How many ruffians and rogues in Weicheng all think about the Qi family Huge family business, after Mr. Qi is killed, you can marry as many beautiful and charming brothers as you want! Hey... a crime!"

When the old man said this, he couldn't help but lament Qi Qiao's bad luck.

Chen Chen felt that it was a pity for that Qi Qiao, but there was nothing he could do.One person has one's own way of life, so he can't just marry Qiqiao himself in order to prevent Qiqiao from falling into the fire pit!That is the real harm to others!

Just when the old man was about to say something, his wife who had finished heating the dishes came in with the dishes.

"Stop talking, you two, let's eat." Putting the meals on the table one by one, he said to Chen Chen: "I was afraid that you would not be used to the rough tea and rice here, so I scrambled two eggs. There is nothing good at home." Yes, young man, let’s live and eat.”

Chen Chen quickly said, "Daddy, there is nothing you can't get used to, the food you cook must be delicious!"

My wife was so happy when Chen Chen just said a word.Seeing that Chen Chen made his wife happy, the old man also felt happy, so he hurriedly ordered his wife to warm up some wine, and prepared to drink two cups with Chen Chen.

My wife is busy going to warm up the wine.After a while, the wine will be hot.

The old man took the jug, filled Chen Chen with wine, poured it for himself, and said while pouring, "Young man, this is homemade rice wine. It's very strong. Can you drink it?"

Chen Chen took a sip and felt that it was worse than beer, "It's okay, I can drink it." He downed a glass.

The old man's eyes lit up: "Good boy, you can drink well! Come on, let's have a drink."

The old man and Chen Chen drank another cup, and chatted about some household anecdotes, talking while eating and drinking, and enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, my wife came in to tidy up, and said to Chen Chen: "I made your bed, it's in the cubicle. The bedding isn't new, but it's very clean, so don't dislike it."

Chen Chen hurriedly said no.

After entering the compartment, I found that the room was very clean and tidy, but the walls were darker in color. It seemed that the house had been around for a while.He simply washed up and got ready for bed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the old man walked in with some clothes.

"Xiaochen, I saw that you had no clothes to wear, so I brought two pieces of my grandfather's clothes. Don't dislike the clothes if they are not new, but these two inner clothes are new and never worn. You can wear them at ease. "

Chen Chen took it, grateful and touched, and quickly saluted.

The old man waved his hand, saying no, let him rest earlier, and went out.

Chen Chen lay down on the bed, recalled what happened all day, and felt that it was even more incredible than what was written in the novel.He fell asleep with anxiety about the future, gratitude to the old man and his expectation for the future.

A night without dreams.

The next day, after Chen Chen got up, he struggled for a long time, finally put on his clothes, and put the modern clothes in his hiking bag, then put on his shoes and went out.After coming out, seeing that the old man and his wife were already waiting for him to eat, he couldn't help but blush a little.

He rinsed his mouth and face as quickly as possible, sat down at the table, and had breakfast with the old man.Although it was just millet porridge and cornbread with pickled vegetables, he still enjoyed it very much.

After eating, Chen Chen wanted to go out to have a look, took out a piece of silver that Qi Qiao gave yesterday from his pocket, and handed it to the old man and his wife.The old man's wife stared wide-eyed, saying too much, don't.

Chen Chen talked for a long time, and forced the money to the old man.Seeing that Chen Chen was so stubborn, the old man had no choice but to accept it, and asked his wife to pack some dry food for Chen Chen to eat on the way. He also said that if Chen Chen had nowhere to go and came here, they would entertain him.

Chen Chen bid farewell to the old man, carried a mountaineering bag wrapped in a layer of cloth, and walked towards the city with dry provisions.

There was no inspection at the city gate, and he entered the city smoothly. Although the common people were surprised that he had short hair, and he was just a monk who had just returned to vulgarity, they didn't pay attention, which made Chen Chen heave a sigh of relief.Fortunately, there were no onlookers.

Chen Chen pretended to be calm and strolled on the street, not daring to look curious.He paid close attention to everything here, and found that the folk customs here are simple and the prices are low.A large steamed bun costs one copper coin, and a fist-sized bun costs only two copper coins—it’s still meat.There are also those vegetables, which can be bought for a few copper coins, and pork is only 13 or 14 copper coins per catty.There are always people buying things at the stalls on the roadside, and people come and go in clothes shops, pastry shops, hotels and so on, which is very bustling.

Chen Chen thinks this place is very good.This era is not a chaotic one, you don't have to worry about losing your life at any time, and maybe you can find a good job to support yourself.While thinking about these things, he walked forward, walked out of the street by accident, and came to a relatively quiet place.Chen Chen looked at the tall courtyard walls around and the plaques above the gate—it seemed that this was a residential area—it was a high-end residential area.

Based on modern people's curiosity about ancient high-end residences, Chen Chen walked to the depths of the street.

Along the way, he saw deep houses and courtyards that were not the same but full of antiquity, and felt very unreal and unreal.Just as he was thinking about these things, the noisy voices of a group of people not far ahead brought him back to his senses.

A group of people

A group of men

A group of men who don't look like good people

They seem to be grabbing something...

Before Chen Chen came, he took a closer look, a red thing flew to his feet, he subconsciously picked it up...

The crowd is quiet...
