Fang was doing needlework with a lamp on, and He Hua was leaning aside with a book in her arms, but she didn't read a word at all and only listened to hear if there was any noise outside.
Finally, in the middle of the night, the chickens and ducks in the backyard were getting restless, and Lotus turned over. Sure enough, she heard two taps on the back window. She pulled her shoes over and opened the window. Qi Jintang leaned over and rolled in, breathing heavily. Said: "Auntie, lotus."
Mrs. Fang put aside her work, stepped forward and closed the window and said, "It's okay, just go inside and warm yourself up." After saying that, she took Bo Rong's clothes and said, "I'll just put them on now. Today Just sleep in the east room, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you need anything."
Qi Jintang looked at Mr. Fang's expression with emotion and said in a calm voice: "Aunt, adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving someone timely assistance. Chapter 268: Little girl, where have I seen you before? I will remember your kindness. mind."
After hearing this, Mrs. Fang sighed at Qi Jintang and said, "Master Qi must never say such things. Although you don't keep it in your heart, I can't help but remember the kindness Master Qi has shown to my family. Ever since Hehua was a child, Mr. Qi taught He Hua how to read and write, and also taught her the principles of farming. My family is now in its current situation because of Mr. Qi's kindness. Although I am only a country woman, I also understand the principle of repaying kindness. .”
After hearing what Fang said, He Hua and Qi Jintang looked at each other, and then moved away from each other with their own thoughts. Others may not know how much Fang's kindness was in her heart, but the two of them still knew it. He Hua felt that each other He felt guilty, and Qi Jintang felt even more uneasy, but he couldn't say anything more now. He could only exchange a few words, and He Hua urged him to quickly go to the east room to settle down, which relieved the current embarrassment.
Taking advantage of Lotus to go to the east room to light the lamp, Qi Jintang grabbed her and said, "I feel very sorry for having you implicated this time, and having to bear my aunt's gratitude in vain makes me feel uncomfortable. I just hope Let this incident pass quickly and don't let it happen again.
He Hua is also looking forward to this in her heart. Chapter 268: Little girl, where have I seen you? It's best to get over it like this. He lowered his head and whispered, "What happened today was all due to my willfulness, and my mother was dragged into this by me. May the Bodhisattva bless me, and it's best to get over it smoothly, otherwise..." He Hua was halfway through her words and couldn't continue. She lowered her head and placed the flint on the kang table in the east room, and said to Qi Jintang, "It's late, go to bed."
Qi Jintang hesitated and wanted to say something to Hehua, but felt that this was not the time. He bit his lower lip and watched Hehua turn away. He fell down on the edge of the kang and was in a daze for a long time before he remembered to blow out the oil lamp. He lay down, but he couldn't sleep due to tossing and turning.
Before dawn the next day, there was a fierce knock on the door. Dahei barked desperately outside. Fang put on her clothes and went to the ground. She opened the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?" Smash the door?"
"Open the door, we are official officers looking for someone!" The sound of banging on the door became louder outside.
He Hua also got up and went to the ground. Qi Jintang emerged from the east room, fully dressed, with a serious expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You stayed in the house just fine. Now it's even more difficult to explain when you run out and get caught." He Hua's heart sank. She had reached this point and had no choice but to deal with it.
Mrs. Fang went out and tied up the dog, opened the courtyard door and let a few officials into the courtyard and said, "Master, my two children and I are the only ones at home. The man is not at home. I don't know what you want to check?"
The leader ignored him and waved his hand to let his men behind him enter the house to search. He Hua and Qi Jintang were standing in the kitchen. Naturally, they were kicked out into the yard as soon as they opened the door. The leader narrowed his eyes and looked around. He looked at Qi Jintang and then ordered, "Search the house carefully for me."
The books in He Hua and Borong's room were all messed up, and the whole family searched through them, but couldn't find what they were looking for. The leader turned to look at Qi Jintang again, and then turned to ask Fang, "Who are these two?" Your children?"
Before Fang could speak, Qi Jintang said, "This official, my surname is Qi Jintang, has been engaged to the Zhu family Hehua since he was a child. This time he will come back after the year to prepare for the autumn scientific examination. Both his parents are in office. So he entrusted me to the care of Aunt Zhu's family, saying that I am my son and daughter's in-laws, so my family can rest assured."
When Qi Jintang said these words, both Fang and Hehua were shocked, but they could only nod in agreement.
The leader was obviously suspicious and said with a calm face, "That's nonsense. Even if the children are in-laws, there is no reason to seek refuge with the mother-in-law when both parents are alive."
Seeing this, He Hua replied, "This official, my father and brother are actually here, but my eldest cousin is getting married in a few days, so they all went to the city to help. Brother Jintang also just arrived last night, and we are preparing to go today." It's in the city!" After saying that, he pointed to the carriage drive in the yard, "If you don't believe me, take a look. This carriage was specially rented from the city. Otherwise, how could a poor family like us afford such an expensive carriage? s things."
"How many books can a poor family have?" The leader said with disbelief written all over his face.
"My lord, these books were the dowry for my eldest daughter-in-law when she got married. If my eldest daughter-in-law doesn't believe it, just go to the village and ask around and you will know that such an eye-catching dowry is the first of its kind in our village." Ms. Fang He opened his mouth to explain.
Seeing that He Huajia answered the question perfectly and seemed to have no doubts, the leader asked the subordinate next to him, "Have you found anything illegal?"
"Sir, there are no forbidden things. Most of them are the holy teachings of the sages and some poems and poems." The subordinate's words were quite fair, and he called his subordinates to gather the books that were scattered everywhere. Pile on the kang.
He Hua's heart was about to fall to the ground when she heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from outside, followed by the sound of armors saluting. The officials guarding the door all said in unison: "See you, Your Excellency."
"What took you so long here?"
A male voice came from outside, which made He Hua feel familiar inexplicably, but he couldn't figure out where he heard it before. However, he could also feel that this must be the person in charge. He was about to get through it with great difficulty. Could it be that he had heard it again? Want to stir up trouble again
Before her heart could be put down, she was suddenly lifted up again. She saw a man wearing a big cloak stepping into the courtyard, with a bit of lazy impatience on his face. When he entered the door and looked up to see the lotus, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were slightly raised. The peach-blossom eyes she picked were bent, and she showed a half-smiling expression and said, "Little girl, where have I seen you before?"! ! !
