Chapter 428: Strong reinforcements arrive
Bo Rong stood at the corner of the corridor, looking at Sun Jianyu's dim expression, and sighed deeply. Although he did not dare to tell everything about the affairs between these three people, he could still see the difference after so many years. Qi Jintang and He Hua were childhood sweethearts. There was no way anyone could get in between them, not to mention that Jin Tang always took good care of He Hua.
Sun Jianyu's love didn't know when it was born, but now it has spread and entangled in his heart and become an untieable knot. He can't get it but can't let it go, and he only ends up in such a sad and sad look.
Thinking of this, Bo Rong stepped forward and hugged his shoulders and said: "The south is just not as comfortable as the north. It rains in the winter and is uncomfortable. I will accompany you to drink some hot wine to warm up." .”
"Why, only Du Kang can relieve our worries!" Sun Jianyu showed a wry smile and put his hand on Bo Rong's shoulder, "Let's go, today we don't distinguish between senior officials, we are just brothers!"
"Okay, I'll have a drink with you today!" Bo Rong took Sun Jianyu to the guest room and ordered the kitchen to prepare some simple dishes to go with the wine, and then boil some good wine and bring it over.
Sun Jianyu was filled with sorrow, and after a few glasses of wine, he was already drunk and hazy. He lay on the table and said to Bo Rong with his tongue hanging out: "You, you said, if I could see clearly what I wanted back then, the lotus might be mine now." Now that I have a wife, I don’t need to worry so much. I want to care about her but I don’t even have the qualifications to stand by her side... "
After hearing this, Bo Rong looked at Sun Jianyu worriedly. He had already felt that he should not be allowed to come over. Now that Lotus was born prematurely and had a big red baby, it only stimulated him even more. Now after hearing his words, his heart changed. After a few rounds, I didn’t know what to say.
Sun Jianyu didn't even intend to wait for Bo Rong to say anything, so he laughed mockingly, "You don't need to say it, I understand that no one can get between Jintang and Hehua. I'm not so ignorant of myself. However, I just want to find something to think about and comfort myself..." He raised his hand and drank another glass of wine.
"Jianyu, drink slowly." Bo Rong realized at this moment that it was a terrible idea to ask him to drink. Now he is watching him drinking water, pouring cup after cup, and he is trying to persuade him to drink. Can't live.
"Bo Rong, you... just leave me alone, just let me drink it!" Sun Jianyu was lying on the table, smiling uglier than crying, "I knew a long time ago that she never had me in her heart, watching Jintang treat her So good, I am happy for her in my heart. She has been smart since she was a child and has always known what she wants. Unlike me, who is ignorant and only realizes at such an old age that the life she lives is not what she wants at all. …”
"Jianyu, you're drunk." Bo Rong could only sigh now and couldn't help but drink along with him.
"Outsiders look at my career, wife, and son... but who knows the pain in my heart..." Sun Jianyu continued to pour wine into his mouth. His hands were shaking so much that he could not hold the cup steady. The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth and made a mess on his clothes.
"Your knots are all in your own heart. You understand everything, but you just can't get over the hurdles in your own heart. I won't say anything to persuade you. You know all those things, and they are of no use at all." Bo Rong got a little drunk while accompanying him, and gradually started to speak more openly, "This matter has been in your heart for so many years, and you have seen how she is living now. You two have no fate in this life. Why do you have to suffer for this your whole life..."
"You think I want to make myself miserable like this? You think I don't want to let her go and live my own happy life, but I can't let her go, I fucking can't let go..." Sun Jianyu hurriedly picked up the wine cup and smashed it to pieces. , looking at the debris on the ground with red eyes, burying his head in the crook of his elbow for a long time without raising it.
The room was extremely quiet for a while. Neither of them knew what to say, so they just drank together. By the time Xiao Xiu came over, both jars of wine were drained to the bottom, and the wine cups and bowls were broken. I don’t know how many of them there were, but there were broken pieces of porcelain and leftovers all over the floor. The two of them were lying on the table with red faces. They didn't even have the strength to raise their heads, and they were mumbling drunken words such as having another pot and getting drunk.
"This is really..." Xiaoxiu tiptoed to avoid the porcelain pieces on the ground. Seeing that the two of them were struggling to wake up for a while, she said angrily and angrily, "I really can't count on anyone."
But now was not the time to talk about this. He ordered two people to clean up the house and make sober soup, and then hurried towards the delivery room. Qi Jintang visited Qi's mother in the morning and saw that she was fine, so he went back to the delivery room to stay with He Hua. Now she was leaning on the bed with her eyes closed to rest.
"Jintang." Xiaoxiu came in and called softly.
Qi Jintang opened his eyes and saw Xiaoxiu. He stood up quickly and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"A young man came to visit us. I don't know what kind of official he is, but he looks very impressive, and the people he brought with him don't look like ordinary servants. They all look capable." Xiuzou looked angrily and complained, "Originally, I didn't want to disturb you. I wanted to ask your eldest brother to come over and entertain you. Who knew that he and Mr. Sun were so drunk together that he was like a puddle of mud now?" I can’t even lift it.”
As soon as Xiao Xiu spoke, Qi Jintang thought of who the visitor was. It was thanks to his help that he escaped so quickly this time, but he didn't expect him to come to visit so soon.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know the person who is coming. Please tell me, sister-in-law, to ask the servants to go over and serve some refreshments and fruits. I'll be out right away." Qi Jintang knew that the person who came was not to be ignored, not to mention that he had helped him more than once. He turned around and told Miao'er and Xiaozhen to be happy. Serving the lotus flowers, then got up and went back to the room to tidy up after myself.
He casually shaved the stubble on his face, changed his clothes and came out. The peach-eyed young man was squinting his eyes and drinking tea, looking leisurely and contented.
"Sir!" Qi Jintang stepped forward and saluted. He had met him several times, but until now, he didn't even know his last name, so he had to call him this every time he met.
"You didn't get home until early in the morning. I shouldn't have disturbed you so soon. It's just that the time I can stay in the south is limited. I have to resolve the matter at hand first, otherwise I won't be at ease." Peach Blossom Eyes smiled with a smile. He looked at Qi Jintang and said, "I have given you a few hours to sleep, but your face is even uglier than yesterday. How about your little lotus? Why won't you come out to see me after you get married?"
"Yesterday, someone from the government sent false news to my house, saying that my body had been found. He Hua'ai was extremely premature and suffered a hemorrhagic collapse and almost lost her life. My mother also fell ill in bed. How could I have the time to rest?" Qi Jintang frowned and sighed.
Peach Blossom Eyes sneered after hearing this, "This method is really..." I wanted to say it was childish, but when I thought of He Hua's current situation, she swallowed the next words, and then waved to the entourage: "I remember there was something wrong in the car. Bring in some nourishing medicinal materials and save them for Little Lotus to replenish her body."
"Your Excellency, you are too polite." Qi Jintang declined quickly, "We don't need anything at home, and I don't need to spend any money on it."
"They were all given by others along the way. If you don't want them, I will just give them to others randomly. It's better to replenish the lotus and prevent you from buying them again. It's not the things I asked you to send to my car for me to carry. It's not something you can just buy outside." Peach Blossom Eyes' words were inevitably a little arrogant, but they were so direct that people couldn't even dislike them.
After hearing this, Qi Jintang stopped worrying and said, "Thank you very much, sir!"
"It's nothing!" Peach Blossom Eyes looked at Qi Jintang with a smile, "I have a fate with you, and you have a fate with Qingxi Town, so it is God's will that we can gather here."
Taohuayan said this easily, but Qi Jintang's heart was not relaxed at all. When they met before taking office in Qingxi Town, Taohuayan once said that he should be in good shape in Qingxi Town. If he does well, it will have its own benefits. It can't be done... He didn't say the next words, but when he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the person up and down, he could see the coldness on the person's body, and the warning was unmistakable. But what's puzzling is that after taking office for so long, I haven't received any information from him, and I still don't know what the relationship between him and Qingxi Town is.
"I know there are many things that you can't figure out, and I don't mean to hide them from you. It's just that people like us are used to saying half-sentences and leaving half-sentences." Seeing Qi Jintang, Taohua was so tired that she couldn't hide her expression. He had doubts on his face, so he rarely explained to him in a good mood, "It's not a business matter, so it's okay to tell you. My hometown is Qingxi County, but I moved there after the old man's generation. Beijing. The old man is a nostalgic person. He used to come back every few years to visit, but later his family business became too busy and he couldn't afford the long journey, so he gradually stopped coming back."
Peach Blossom Eyes took a breath, "Until the old man became ill and retired, he was thinking about coming back. But you also know how you looked when you first came to Qingxi Town. How could I dare to let him see such a decayed appearance? It was just business. When I saw you taking up the post, I gave you a word of advice in vain, thinking that if you were a down-to-earth person, you might be able to make this place better so that my old man could come back and take a look."
"Your Excellency is indeed very filial, and he is a model for lower officials to learn from." Qi Jintang smiled politely, but felt a little doubtful in his heart. However, the other party was not something he could touch at all, and he did not want to provoke him at all. Since he took the initiative to explain , there is no reason for me to question it again.
Peach Blossom Eyes rolled at Qi Jintang and said, "Don't tell me these lies. Since I'm passing by to help you this time, and it's a matter in Qingxi Town, I have to take care of it to the end. Just let it go." I do it all!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
