Taishou Ma has been very troubled recently.
Because the things Jin Qing gave Ma Wencai were so good and so cheap that it made Governor Ma feel extremely unreal.
With three thousand taels of silver, you can't even buy a Zihao pen. What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?
At first, Governor Ma thought that Jin Qing gave these things to Ma Wencai because he wanted to take the opportunity to join him.
After learning that Jin Qing was a woman, Ma Taishou felt that Jin Qing gave Ma Wencai these things because he had an affair with Ma Wencai.
If this is the case, does the son's decision to break off the engagement with Zhu Yingtai have any other profound meaning?
After asking around about Jin Qing's age, Ma Taishou became even more confused.
What is the relationship between my son and that girl?
Why would an old girl with no relatives and no family put in all the effort and spend a lot of money to befriend a young boy?
Just hearing about this relationship makes you feel strange.
Whenever he thought about this, Governor Ma's eyes would wander back and forth on his son.
Has my son lost something?
It was not easy to break off the engagement during the first month. Governor Ma originally wanted to wait until after the first month before going to Zhujiazhuang, but Mrs. Ma was reluctant to wrong her son.
The sooner Zhu Yingtai retires, the better. As time goes by, if Zhu Yingtai does something shameless, her son will also be laughed at.
Moreover, she didn't want to spend the New Year with this bad news.
After making up her mind, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Ma took the Ma family's housekeeper and a group of guards to Zhujiazhuang.
She wanted to ask the Zhu family how they raised such a good daughter, and whether they had any grudge against their Ma family.
Everything Jin Qing gave Ma Wencai was very useful, except for the set of tableware.
Feeling that she was embarrassed to take advantage of her son's good things, Mrs. Ma took away the dishes and chopsticks made of the same material as the knife, and made a new set of gold tableware in exchange for her son.
What Mrs. Ma thought was that this thing was strong and could be used for daily meals. It could also be used as a weapon when thrown out in critical moments.
And Ma Wencai didn't care about the set of dishes and chopsticks, so he happily gave them to Mrs. Ma.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and the carriage would inevitably slip on the ground.
The carriage was knocked over by a stone on the ground.
Although Mrs. Ma who was sitting in the car was not injured, she was startled, and the things on the small table were scattered all over the floor.
The maids hurriedly helped Mrs. Ma out of the car and began to sort out the things scattered in the carriage.
Mrs. Ma calmed down and stepped forward to help.
When she saw the set of tableware that fell to the ground, Mrs. Ma's eyes widened in surprise: This is...
Jin Qing has been very boring recently, firstly because she couldn't find Tao Yuanming, and secondly because she saw Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei never appeared again after meeting her.
Jin Qing followed the traces to find Mrs. Pei, but found that she had actually entered the Buddhist hall, and besides crying every day, she chanted sutras.
After watching it a few times, Jin Qing got bored and jumped up and down every day to look for hibernating bears in the back mountains.
Shanchang Pei was also very confused about his sister's change, but after he had a serious talk with Mrs. Pei, he never tried to persuade Mrs. Pei again.
There was also a hint of helplessness in Jin Qing's eyes.
On New Year's Day, Jin Qing roasted a bear in the back mountain, while Mrs. Pei had a vegetarian meal in the Buddhist hall.
Standing in the courtyard, Chief Pei Shan heard the cry of the girl in the Buddhist hall, then looked at the fire coming from the mountain behind, sighed leisurely, and then slowly walked up the mountain.
Although he didn't believe the girl's words about "reviving a dead body", he would respect her choice, but he felt sorry for the child Aling.
Jin Qing was sitting next to the fire eating bear legs. When he saw Pei Shan growing up, Jin Qing didn't say anything and just handed over a piece of barbecue.
Pei Shanchang took the meat and began to eat it slowly.
Today, lanterns were hung in the academy, and it looked brightly lit from a distance.
Pei Shanchang had been brewing in his heart for a long time. He wanted to talk about Mrs. Pei's pain, and he wanted to persuade Jin Qing not to separate from his sister.
But when the words reached his lips, they turned into a warm smile. He stretched out his ungreased hand and patted Jin Qing's head gently: "Peace and a happy new year, be well."
Jin Qing lowered his head to eat with an expression on his face. The extinguishing bonfire reflected Jin Qing's expression in flickering colors.
Two voices alternated in Jin Qing's ears: "Zai'er, you have to be good." "Girl, don't be too persistent."
Jin Qing's hand holding the branch tightened slightly, and the branch broke into pieces. The barbecue fell to the ground with a clatter: "Didn't you forget it a long time ago? Why did you suddenly think of it!"
707 sighed: I know I have to be tough, but in fact I care more than anyone else.
Eternal loneliness, this is the price of traveling quickly.
Shanchang Pei didn't know what Jin Qing was thinking of. He just thought it was the girl who broke Jin Qing's heart.
But in this situation, everything he said was wrong.
Sighing slightly, Shanchang Pei retracted his hand and looked at the barbecue in his hand: "Ping An, uncle, can you tell you a story about the New Year!"
Shanchang Pei is a man with a profound reserve of knowledge. While Jin Qing was eating, he told all kinds of strange stories.
The ups and downs of the storyline are not inferior to the idol dramas Jin Qing usually watches.
With the unremitting efforts of Pei Shanchang, he finally succeeded in hypnotizing Jin Qing who was full and drunk.
Looking at his niece sleeping on the ground, Pei Shanzhang helplessly carried her on his back and walked down the mountain one step at a time.
If there are no firecrackers at this time, people like to burn bamboos with fire to make them burst and make sounds in order to drive away the plague god and achieve the effect of New Year's Eve.
When Shanzhang Pei came down the mountain, he happened to hear the sound of burning bamboo coming from the village below.
Shanchang Pei subconsciously speeded up his pace, fearing to wake up Jin Qing who was sleeping.
But suddenly I heard Jin Qing's deep voice coming from behind: "Under what circumstances do you think a person would leave another person behind?"
Shanchang Pei's heart tightened. Jin Qing's words reminded him of his sister's inexplicable attitude.
But he couldn't deceive his niece, so he could only answer softly with careful tone: "Either he can't help it, or he doesn't care."
I can't help it, I don't care...
Jin Qing slowly closed her eyes. The person who was forced to leave probably had no choice, so the unscrupulous parents who left her probably just didn't care!
707 rarely heard his host show such emotional expression, so he couldn't help but comfort Jin Qing: "Host, I believe your parents had to leave you behind for some reason."
Who would have thought but Jin Qing sneered: "I don't care about those two bastards. If I really encounter them, I will break the necks of those two bastards immediately."
Wipe it, you'd better not let her catch it, otherwise you can just wash your neck and wait for death!
707: "..." Am I crazy? I would be incited by a brain-dead host.
After that, Pei Shanchang and Jin Qing didn't speak again.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all the servants in the academy have been sent back. Chief Pei Shan simply carried Jin Qing all the way back to the bedroom, and put a purse containing New Year's money for Jin Qing on the table before walking out quietly. Room.
