The proverb goes: On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
This was originally an auspicious word with hope, but it gave the emperor the completely opposite feeling of bowing his head.
Unlucky...
It was just that he was called a big worm with weak limbs, no ability to distinguish between grains, no knowledge of numbers, and a small belly. Now he is still inexplicably called a deceiver.
Alas!
Annoying!
If it weren't for the sake of loyalty that is worthy of Qi Yu, I would definitely punish you all!
But, that's just a thought...
The emperor really wanted to beat his chest and beat his feet like King Kong to vent his depression. However, he had to pay attention to maintaining his grace at all times. This feeling was really oppressive.
King Kong: I beat my chest because I’m depressed?
…
After the emperor forcibly calmed down his emotions, he returned to his normal expression and raised his smiling eyes to look there.
But he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of Qi Xiaotong. At this moment, she was holding scissors and glaring at him angrily. Her sharp eyes were even more fierce than the eunuch's steward.
This shrew...is Qi Yu's wife?
The emperor couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself: Why are the women in Qi Aiqing's family more domineering than the other? Is this the legendary rise of yin and decline of yang?
This woman is indeed Liu Quan who came here after hearing the news.
Here's the thing.
Early this morning, the mother and daughter went out for a stroll and bought some daily necessities in this busy market.
Hearing that a new silk and satin shop had recently opened in the capital, it was said to be of high quality and low price. Liu Quan couldn't resist the temptation, so he went in to pick and choose.
Xiaotong was bored, so she sneaked to the street to play alone, planning to wait for her mother to finish shopping before reuniting.
Not to mention, the satin in the fabric shop is of high quality and inexpensive, which is very attractive.
Liu Quan looked at this place and that place, and unconsciously lost track of time. It wasn't until a shopkeeper accidentally mentioned the conflict outside that she finally came to her senses.
After listening carefully to the customer's description, Liu Quan immediately concluded that the girl who was bullied must be his daughter.
This is great!
Liu Quan, who had not shown off his power for a long time, didn't say anything. He just picked up a pair of scissors from the cloth shop and ran out. He almost lost his shoes because of his anxiety.
When you get there, take a look...
really!
A man who looked like a dog was discussing something with his daughter.
So, he hurriedly took action to protect his daughter.
…
Seeing that the situation was somewhat deadlocked, Xiaotong hurriedly explained to her mother: "Mom, it was just a misunderstanding just now. My daughter is fine."
"Oh? Really?" Liu Quan was half-believed and looked at it carefully. After seeing that her daughter was indeed all beard and tail, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. If they bully you, you must remember to tell your mother. ."
this……
The guards following the emperor felt nauseated after hearing this, and said angrily: See clearly! I'm the one being bullied!
However, no one noticed his silent protest...
Liu Quan still refused to give up. She glanced sideways at the emperor and warned him aggressively: "I said that bullying children will result in lightning strikes. Remember in the future, never do this again." Then, she said to him again. Xiaotong gave a reminder and said: "Your father often said that some people may look sanctimonious on the outside, but they are beasts on the inside. You must remember in the future to avoid talking to such people."
"Well, remember, mother!"
After saying that, Liu Quan took her daughter's hand and left leisurely, paying no attention to the emperor whose face was shining darkly behind him.
…
It's three poles high in the sun, and it's gradually noon.
Liu Quan remained vigilant all the way and pulled her daughter back home without stopping.
On the way, she looked behind her more than once, for fear of being followed by a thief.
When he entered the house, he saw Tong Yanhuo repairing the van in the yard, and Qi Xiao was also watching with curiosity.
This van was given by Zhao Mingyu before he went on his mission to the Western Regions. He had two cars at home, so he gave away one of them that was not needed for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the wooden tenon at the shaft of the car suddenly became loose and needed repair. It was for this reason that he did not follow him into the street.
"Brother Tong, come here..."
"Oh, what are your orders, madam?"
"This morning, Xiaotong met a sanctimonious gangster..."
Afterwards, Liu Quan kept his story short and concisely explained what he saw. Her face was full of worry and a bit uneasy.
But Xiaotong was smiling heartlessly and disapprovingly.
"What? There is such a thing?"
In Tong Yanhuo's heart, Xiaotong is just like his own daughter. How can she be bullied by others?
"Alas..." He was annoyed that he didn't follow, and said through gritted teeth, "Huh! Whoever dares to lay a finger on the young lady, I will slap him to death!"
Liu Quan felt warm in her heart and quickly thanked her. Then she reminded her: "Please pay attention these two days. If you find someone with evil intentions, you will arrest him and send him to the Yamen. Even if something happens, we are not afraid. My husband is holding it from behind! This is his special confession before leaving!"
"I remember, ma'am."
"..."
After Liu Quan left, Tong Yanhuo hurriedly pulled Xiaotong over and asked her in a low voice, "Did you suffer anything from what happened today?"
"Suffering a loss? How is that possible!"
"Really not?"
Xiaotong nodded solemnly, and also lowered his voice and said: "There is something I dare not tell my mother. In fact, I have already done something with the other party! Hehe... guess what, I only used a flying kick, So I kicked that person into a dog and chewed him into the mud."
"Oh? Tell me, how did you perform that move?"
"Look...that's it!"
"Hmm...it's still a little short of heat, and I'm not clever enough in exerting force. Remember to use your waist skillfully next time!"
…
in the kitchen.
Mr. Zhou is cooking his signature dish - braised pork head with a stick of firewood.
Sun Tzu said, this meat will make your mouth full of oil when mixed with rice, and you will never tire of eating it.
The old lady was very happy when she heard it, feeling that her good skills could finally be put to use.
Just like that, Qi Xiao also started to become a little plump.
Liu Quan walked to the backyard, washed the handles first, and then went directly into the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.
"Mom, why did you cook such a big pot?"
"My little ancestor said he liked it, so I made more. Anyway, it's not hot yet, so I can hold it." After flipping the meat in the pot, Mr. Zhou suddenly asked, "By the way, what's that called?" Wu Wanrong, he said he would buy back our old house in Yongchuan Mansion, what do you think?"
That house was originally the ancestral home of the Wu family, so if Wu Wanrong bought it back, it would be a repurchase.
In response, Mr. Wu was willing to pay twice the original selling price.
Liu Quan smiled and said flatly: "Of course I won't sell it!"
Zhou was startled and said, "Why?"
"Why? Haha, mother, do you still remember that my husband went to an official's house to accompany him because of the horse scandal, but was turned away?" Liu Quan suddenly brought up the past.
"Well, I have an impression."
"That arrogant official is Wu Wanrong who is looking to buy a house from our family!" Liu Quan spat bitterly at first, and then said: "In my opinion, this house can be sold to anyone, but it cannot be sold to him. The Wu family! Huh! Let my man stand outside his house, how dare he do it! I am keeping track of all these things! He wants this house, wait until the next life!"
"It's him..."
Mrs. Zhou was motivated because of money, but when she thought of her son being humiliated, she immediately became cruel and said: "Yes! I will listen to you on this matter. I'll have someone send a message to his family later. We don’t sell it!”
"Mom, you are really a bright and enlightened person."
"..."
Liu Quan's grudge is only one of the reasons why he doesn't sell it. There is also another reason why he, Wu Wanrong, suddenly thinks about this old house?
Could it be that there is something weird hidden in that house?
Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense!
