Bo Rong suddenly smiled when he heard this and said: "Her family acted very quickly. A manager from her parents' family met me on the street in the morning and exchanged greetings with me. During the day, she gave you a gift."
After hearing what Borong said, Hehua immediately understood and said, "Her family is a tea merchant, and she has to pass by your side when taking a boat?"
"Yes!" Bo Rong nodded and said, "You just keep the money. There is no reason to return the things you didn't accept. Secondly, you will definitely have random thoughts when you return it to her house. Maybe you will return it then." You have to give me more gifts, and then it will look like we are taking advantage of others."
Qi Jintang said to He Hua, "Find a box to put it in and bring it back to my eldest brother."
Bo Rong hurriedly stopped him and said: "The things were delivered to your house. No matter whose sake it was, they were the ones who gave them to you. I shouldn't take them anyway. Besides, Chapter 370: The storm has been resolved. You guys are... When it comes to using money, they are the ones causing the trouble, and they should be the ones to cause the trouble if they use the money."
When Qi Jintang heard what Borong said, he was speechless and sighed: "I originally thought that people in the remote mountains and remote areas here wouldn't have as many intrigues and intrigues as you. Disaster."
"As long as there are interests, there will be struggles. The difference is just the size of the interests. There is nothing we can do about it." Bo Rong seemed to understand Qi Jintang very well, patting him on the shoulder and smiling helplessly, "I was also I had the same idea as you, but later I gradually realized that my idea was too naive. Maybe it's better here, but over here...it's all about interests, one after another. Fortunately, the Sun family's backing is strong enough, otherwise it would have been difficult."
Seeing that both of them looked bitter, Hehua personally prepared some side dishes, boiled a pot of good wine, and let them drink and talk in the hall. The two of them chatted until late at night. Hehua had already laid down to sleep, but because Qi Jintang hadn't returned to the house yet, he couldn't sleep well. She woke up several times before she heard the sound of him opening the door and returning to the house. She was drowsy. He asked: "How much did you drink?"
"I didn't drink much. I talked a lot with my elder brother and learned a lot." Qi Jintang's voice sounded very sober, not as if he had drunk too much, "Go to sleep quickly. , I’ll just wipe my face.
Hehua felt relieved after hearing this, tilted her head and fell asleep again.
A matter that caused a lot of fuss was finally resolved quietly. Qi Jintang followed Borong's words and sealed a thousand taels of silver from his superiors, put it in tea and wine and sent it away. Within two days, an official came down from the superiors. , saying that they wanted to thoroughly investigate the case of beating someone to death. Only then did the Zeng family realize that something was wrong and hurriedly moved up and down, but it was too late.
Although he pushed a servant to take the blame for beating someone to death, Zeng Dianshi was also removed from his position, and was fined three thousand taels of silver, but he didn't know how much he spent secretly, and was forced to disperse his family property. I couldn't stay in Qingxi County any longer, so I packed up my things with my family and moved away. I don't know where they ended up. I was a very powerful person in the county at the beginning, but when I left, it was desolate. , there wasn’t even a person to see him off.
After He Hua discussed with Qi Jintang, he sent Hong Min to bring some things as gifts, which made Mrs. Zeng sigh with emotion.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Borong helped Hehua pack up the New Year's gifts, so he hired a few carts to pull them all the way back, adding what he wanted to bring back, and then they would send people to hire a boat to go north and send them back to their hometown.
After sending away the New Year's gifts, Hehua realized that it was time to plan for the New Year at home. Although there was still more than a month, some New Year's goods should be gradually purchased. After all, this was the first time the two of them had spent together. year.
Thinking of this, she took out the pamphlet that Qi Jinru had written to her that day, which contained the things Qi Jintang liked and didn't like to eat. She took another piece of paper and calculated the things she wanted to buy at home.
Since Zeng Dianshi was dealt with this time, everyone in the county government also knew that Hehua had a backer like Bo Rong. Starting from Madam Ma, the attitudes of Qi Jintang and Hehua had obviously changed. With the addition of Bo Rong, The two recommended masters were indeed well-versed in things. Qi Jintang was finally freed from the complicated official duties and spent significantly less time in the county government. He often had time to read at home or talk to Hehua.
I just came from the county government meeting in front of me that day. I went upstairs and opened the felt door curtain. Through the assorted clothes, I saw Hehua leaning on the desk and looking at something carefully. From time to time, he would pick up a pen and write a few words on the side, just thinking She was reading a book to find a way for the villagers to get rich, so she stepped forward gently, reached out from behind and rubbed her shoulders and said, "Don't tire yourself too much."
Hehua was startled by him. She didn't have time to close the things in her hands. She raised her hand and patted her chest and said, "You didn't even make a sound when you came up. You're going to scare me to death."
"It's obvious that you were so absorbed in reading that you didn't hear me coming up." Qi Jintang stepped aside, took the booklet in his hand and said, "Let me see what makes you so fascinated..."
After picking up the book and scanning it, Qi Jintang recognized Jin Ru's handwriting. His expression was slightly stiff, and he closed it and put it back on the table without looking carefully at what was written inside.
Seeing this, He Hua aroused her previous curiosity about the two siblings. She had never understood before that Qi Jintang was just such a sister, but the relationship between the two was very strange. Jin Ru seemed to want to get close to Qi Jintang, but she didn't. The most surprising thing about Dare to express her thoughts too much is Qi Jintang. He is obviously a very easy-to-get-together person, but he is so cold and distant towards his sister. Taking advantage of this opportunity today, she wanted to ask clearly, so she pretended not to look. Qi Jintang opened the booklet with an expression on his face, leaned directly into his arms, held up the booklet and said, "Look, this is what Jinru wrote for me before we left. It says what you like to eat, what kind of food you want to eat, and what kind of food you like. Like food, usual habits and hobbies. Oh, it’s so nice to have a girl. My two younger brothers are both brothers, and they can’t feel such considerate care."
Qi Jintang stretched out his hand to circle the lotus, but he did not talk about Jinru along the lotus topic. Instead, he talked about Bonin and Shuanzi and said, "Boning will take part in the examination early next year. I also asked my elder brother about it a few days ago. After a while, I heard that he was quite well prepared. If nothing else happens, he might be able to become a blockbuster. There are very few people in our court who can win the imperial examination at such a young age. Counting it all, there are only two or three young people who are famous. If If you really succeed, your family will be proud of your ancestors."
"To be honest, I don't want him to become famous so early. Being young and proud may not be a good thing, so I previously advised him to stay quiet for a few more years. But then I also thought that some things cannot be suppressed. Being young and proud is not necessarily a good thing. , I don't think many people can resist." When Hehua heard him talking about his younger brother, his mind was immediately taken away, and he didn't notice that the topic was changed along with his train of thought.
"Bo Ning is very sensible, so you don't have to worry too much." Qi Jintang successfully diverted He Hua's attention, and then asked: "I heard from the elder brother that Jian Yu will be re-elected here for three years. I want to wait for two more years." Year, pick up the bolt and come over to see it."
"It's a good thing. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Shuanzi and Bonin have different temperaments. After he was born, my family's life gradually became easier. He is still a bit pampered intentionally or unintentionally. He is not as good as Bonin. He is so down-to-earth and steady. Even if he has a talent for doing business, he may not be able to do well in the future. He should hone his skills before he is determined." He suddenly pouted in dissatisfaction and turned around and said, "How come big brother has said these things to you and never mentioned it to me?"
"No one of us can tell that they're all the same." Qi Jintang smiled, tightened his hand around the lotus, and said deliberately, "Hey, don't you think so?"
"What's wrong?" Lotus asked strangely.
"Have you gained weight recently?" Qi Jintang put his face close to He Hua's face and scanned the bulge on her chest with his eyes.
"Not serious at all!" Hehua turned her head towards his ear and took a bite, but she was not willing to exert any force. She only bit it lightly, then licked it with her tongue, and said in his ear, "Why, I'm fat here." Are you unhappy?"
"How could it be..." Qi Jintang was so amused by her that he put his hand into Lotus's slightly stretched skirt. His big hand covered her roundness that was obviously growing, and he whispered softly, "It's not too late for me to be happy!"
Hehua was a little short of breath by him, and pushed him with flushed cheeks: "It's broad daylight, what will it look like when servants come in later..."
"You flirted with me and pushed me, how can there be such a reason." Qi Jintang said this, but he still retracted his unruly hand and hugged the lotus again, "The Chinese New Year will be in half a month, I I'm afraid we'll have to be busy for a few more days. Once all the county affairs are settled, we'll have more than half a month of annual leave. Before I left, my eldest brother asked us if we wanted to go to his place to celebrate the New Year, what do you think?"
He Hua was a little moved when she heard this. The whole family has celebrated New Year together for so many years, and she has long been used to the excitement. Now she thinks about the fact that there are only two of us this year, and they are in a foreign country. Occasionally, she will feel lonely for a moment or two when she thinks about it. I felt that now I heard that I would be off for more than half a month during the Chinese New Year. If I could spend the Chinese New Year with Borong and Xiaoxiu, it would be better than just two people facing each other, but I still turned to Qi Jintang and asked: "What do you think?"
"I think it's just the two of us celebrating the New Year. I'm afraid it won't be lively. At most, we'll have drinks facing each other in the house. Going to Big Brother's place can make it more lively and relieve your homesickness. I just want to give Brother and sister-in-law are causing trouble." Qi Jintang could not see what He Hua was thinking. He naturally knew that she wanted to go to Borong to celebrate the New Year, so he naturally followed her wishes and said, "And brother, where is the water and land pier? During the New Year, It’s much more lively than our place, with all kinds of novelty stuff that you can’t usually see. You just want to see if there’s any business to do, so you can do it all at once.”! ! !
