The next day.
Narrow Rain Alley.
"Old Xu, do we really want to go to Fellow Daoist Qin to ask for that piece of spiritual stone?"
"I have no choice but to obey the boss's order."
"I hope Fellow Daoist Qin can understand our difficulties."
"Oh, let's go."
Wang Ping and Xu Li walked into Zhaiyu Alley, made several inquiries, and finally found the big house at the end of the alley. They were both a little surprised when they looked at the door with a protective circle painted on it and requiring a talisman key to open.
Fellow Daoist Qin is really prosperous!
It wouldn't be too difficult to ask him for this spiritual stone, right?
This morning, the two of them went to the Lingdan Workshop to order the pills on time, but were called by the owner of the workshop. Pei Daoyu said that the workshop paid him an extra spiritual stone when Qin Gengyun left, so he ordered the two of them to go to Qin Gengyun to get it back.
Wang Ping and Xu Li were both a little confused. Qin Gengyun had been gone for so long, how could he still go to someone to refund his salary at this time?
But this was the boss's order, and the two of them had nothing to do. They looked at each other and had no choice but to raise their hands and knock on the door anxiously.
After a moment, the door opened, revealing a face familiar to both of them. Wang Ping exclaimed:
"Ruyi Oiran?"
Xu Li looked up and down and confirmed that the woman who opened the door was Ruyi Huakui from Yihong Tower, and his eyes immediately went straight:
"Fairy Ruyi, why are you here?"
Liusu didn't recognize the two of them, so he frowned and said, "Where did the scumbag come from and find himself here?"
Qin Gengyun heard the sound and came over. When he saw Wang Ping and Xu Li, he smiled and greeted them:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Xu, why are you here? Su Su, please invite someone in quickly!"
Liusu curled her lips and stepped aside. Wang Ping and Xu Li held their hands towards her: "Thank you Fairy Ruyi!"
Liusu glared at the two of them: "I'm no longer in Yihong Building a long time ago. Don't call me Ruyi again!"
"Yes, yes." The two agreed again and again, entered the house in a hurry, looked around, and couldn't help but say with envy:
"Senior Qin, when did you change to such a spacious and high-end house? It's really enviable!"
Before Qin Gengyun spoke, Qiu Zhihe walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing a floral gauze robe with an apron on the outside. Her long hair was tied into a woman's bun, and her round and pretty face looked like it was smoked by the steam in the kitchen. It's reddish.
Wang Ping and Xu Li were stunned to see her gentle, virtuous, and charming figure.
Such a beautiful and virtuous wife is really enviable even for singles!
"Madam, this is Wang Ping and this is Xu Li. They are both my former colleagues at Lingdanfang. I met them last time at Uncle Fang's house."
Qin Gengyun introduced the two of them to Qiu Zhihe. Qiu Zhihe nodded to them as a greeting, and then walked into the kitchen.
Wang Ping and Xu Li looked at her exquisite back, their eyes dull.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Xu, please sit down."
Qin Gengyun spoke, and the two of them came back to their senses, "Thank you, Senior Qin." Then they sat down.
At this time, Liusu also brought two cups of tea. Guests often came to Qin Gengyun's house recently, and she was trained to make tea consciously whenever guests came.
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist!"
Wang Ping and Xu Li quickly stood up and took it, feeling even more surprised.
Not to mention that Qin Gengyun's wife was so beautiful, even Fairy Ruyi became his woman.
And looking at Fairy Ruyi's appearance, she probably doesn't have a high status in Qin Gengyun's family, and is probably a concubine.
I remembered what Old Man Fang said last time that Qin Gengyun not only had a beautiful lady in his family, but also an equally pretty concubine.
I just didn't expect that this concubine was actually the famous Ruyi Courtesan!
Is it because Fairy Ruyi was once a hooker girl, so she can only be a concubine?
The two of them were guessing, and Qin Gengyun had already asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Xu, why do you come to Humble House today?"
Wang Ping and Xu Li looked at each other, a little embarrassed. In the end, Wang Ping explained his purpose, and then said rather awkwardly:
"Senior Qin, we are also following the orders of the master of the workshop. There is really nothing we can do. Don't blame us."
Unexpectedly, Qin Gengyun was not angry, but laughed. He simply took out a spiritual stone and handed it to them:
"How could I blame you? When I left Lingdanfang, it was Yang Fengshan who paid me the reward. It seems that his own accounts were messed up, so he gave me an extra spiritual stone. I should return it today."
The two of them looked at each other, both a little confused. They didn't hesitate to ask more questions at the moment, so they took the spirit stone and thanked them profusely.
At this time, Qiu Zhihe walked out of the kitchen and asked Qin Gengyun, "Are they staying for dinner?"
The two of them stood up quickly: "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. We still have something to do, so we're leaving now."
Qin Gengyun tried to persuade him to stay, but the two of them shied away and left Qin's house as if they were running away.
Walking out of Zhaiyu Alley, the two of them bowed their heads in silence. Wang Ping suddenly said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I want to practice hard."
Xu Li nodded: "I also want to practice hard, like fellow Taoist Qin, become a great monk, and marry a beautiful wife and concubine. Wouldn't it be great!"
"Well, let's work hard together!"
"great, good luck!"
Zhaiyu Lane, Qin's house.
"Miss, uncle, what do you mean by Pei Daoyu? He actually has people coming to collect debts!"
Liusu said angrily, but when she saw Qiu Zhihe looking calm and Qin Gengyun smiling, she suddenly became anxious:
"You two talk!"
Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Pei Daoyu is showing his attitude and will hide Chang Chunzi's affairs for me."
Liusu blinked, still looking confused.
Qin Gengyun couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute look. Liusu stared at him angrily and complained to Qiu Zhihe:
"Miss, my uncle has been laughing at me!"
Qiu Zhihe then spoke: "If the Chang family investigates Chang Chunzi's whereabouts, they will definitely find Pei Daoyu. The more indifferent he is to his husband, the less suspicious he will be."
Liusu was stunned for a moment and patted his thigh: "I understand, so Pei Daoyu deliberately found people to make things difficult for my uncle, just to let others know that he and his uncle are just an employer and a pharmacist, so that the Chang family will not doubt my uncle!"
"I'm sorry! This guy has too many twists and turns, it's really troublesome!"
After saying that, she froze suddenly and looked at Qiu Zhihe blankly.
"Miss, what did you call uncle just now?"
Qiu Zhihe was startled, but she saw Qin Gengyun looking at her with surprise. Only then did she realize that she had subconsciously shouted out that shameful title just now.
Her heart trembled, she lowered her eyes, got up and walked into the kitchen, saying no more.
Liusu excitedly said to Qin Gengyun: "Uncle, did the lady call you 'husband' just now? She has never called you that before!"
Qin Gengyun was also very excited and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is the first time that my wife has called me husband. Okay, great!"
Liusu laughed and said: "Uncle, are you feeling very accomplished? Come on tonight, let the lady shout more!"
"Susu, come in and help!"
"Oh, here we come. Miss, why are your face so red? Ouch! Miss, why did you hit me? Ah! Miss, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
