Heroes saving beauties is the favorite and favorite way of chance encounters for all men in the world, and few people are immune to this custom. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chi Hong to be fooled.
Shen Cha exchanged glances with Shen Haolin, His Highness Prince Ning, and Wu Qingruo. Just as they didn't believe that Chi Hong knew nothing about Mrs. Teng's identity, they also didn't believe that Mrs. Teng's so-called danger was not a trap. But they believed that this game was not aimed at Chi Hong, but had other motives. Chi Hong was just the unlucky guy who got in by mistake.
However, for Mrs. Teng, this unlucky guy was a treasure picked up by accident.
"How many years ago did this happen?" Shen Cha focused his attention on Chi Hong again, "It's really hard for Mr. Chi to remember it so clearly."
"It's a rare moment in life for a hero to save a beautiful woman. Naturally, I still remember it fresh, General." Chi Hong was a little embarrassed after being teased by Shen Cha, "It didn't take long. After this month, we met Man San. years."
"It really hasn't been too long." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows at Ying Wuyi in the dark, watched him leave in a hurry, and continued, "If it's convenient, Mr. Chi can tell you the whole process exactly. It can also solve your father's troubles, so that he will not always feel that Mr. Chi is doing no good things behind his back."
"The general is right, please tell me how we met." Mr. Chige echoed repeatedly, "That Mrs. Teng is...is..." He didn't know how to describe it for a while, "That's right. Is this lady’s husband still alive? If so, why would he let his wife come out and show her face?”
"It should be..." Chi Hong blinked, "Isn't he gone? I have been to her house several times, but I have never seen her husband. It is indeed strange to say that the servants in her house , except for four personal girls, a cook, a steward, and two boys, almost all of them are the shopkeepers and waiters in the shop. I have never met the young master or young lady in the family. "
"A temporary residence." His Highness Prince Ning snorted coldly, "It seems that place is not yet a home, but it is also a place where he often lives or stays."
"Uncle Wang is right." Shen Haolin nodded, "Mrs. Teng should be in charge of the Teng family's business. As for the Tantai family, she should not be qualified to intervene."
"Or..." His Highness Prince Ning narrowed his eyes, "She wanted to intervene, but someone was always guarding her, making it impossible for her to do anything."
"We..." Chi Hong looked at Shen Haolin, then at Wu Qingruo, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"It has nothing to do with Mr. Chi. Please continue telling the story of your chance encounter with Mrs. Teng." Shen Cha tapped the koan lightly and said, "Be more detailed."
"Oh." Chi Hong cleared his throat, "The southwest border is Yancheng. Legend has it that it is very beautiful. It doesn't look like the southwest at all, but has the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. That year, after celebrating the New Year at home, I planned to go out for a walk. , because I just came back from Jiangnan before the Chinese New Year, I didn’t plan to go there again, so I chose Yancheng, which I had never been to before. Although it was a bit far away from the capital and a little acclimatized, it was really worth it and it was very beautiful. Meet me The day Mrs. Teng visited was my third day in Yancheng. After visiting most of Yancheng, I found a restaurant that was famous in the area and had good specialties. I wanted to have a good meal. I don’t like others staring at me. He wanted to eat with me, so he asked the shopkeeper for a private room. But..." He shrugged, "I didn't expect the private rooms in Yancheng to be like that."
"That look? What does it look like?" Shen Cha looked at Wu Qingruo. Her uncle had once been stationed at Southwest Border Pass, and Yancheng was once one of his stations. "Is there anything different?"
"It is indeed different." Wu Qingruo explained briefly, "It is separated by screens and gauze curtains, which can only cover people but not sound. Therefore, even the slightest movement in the private rooms on both sides of the door can be heard. Clearly. Sometimes, if someone fights in a private room, it may involve other guests in the private room."
"So that's what it is." Shen Cha nodded and raised his chin towards Chi Hongyang, "Continue."
"Oh, my private room is in the middle. It's quite late when we eat, it's not lunch time, and there aren't that many people in the restaurant, so we can find a better seat. To the left is Mrs. Teng's private room, too. My back was pointed at them. Before entering the private room, I didn't pay attention because it was blocked by a gauze curtain. But just after I ordered the food, I heard an argument happening next door, and the sound got louder and louder. At one point, I felt We're about to take action." Chi Hong stopped and smiled sheepishly, "Everyone knows that boys, no matter how weak they are, like to be heroes. So..." He shrugged, "I couldn't bear it all of a sudden. I checked in and went directly to the private room next door. I am still very lucky now that I went there in time, otherwise Mrs. Teng would have been beaten badly."
"What was it like when you went in?"
"I remember..." Chi Hong raised his head slightly, looked at the roof, and thought for a while, "At that time, besides Mrs. Teng, there were three people in the private room, a maid of Mrs. Teng, and a shopkeeper who was discussing business with Mrs. Teng. and the shopkeeper’s entourage. When I entered, the shopkeeper was about to raise his hand to hit Mrs. Teng, and his hand was almost touching Mrs. Teng’s face.”
"Did you see their reaction after entering?"
"Reaction?" Chi Hong thought for a while and said hesitantly, "It seemed very unexpected. It seemed that someone would break in. After I entered, I saw that the shopkeeper was about to beat someone, and he said a lot of words in an awe-inspiring manner, specifically. I can’t remember clearly, the only thing I remember is that I almost started fighting with the shopkeeper and his entourage, but I was so stupid that I almost tripped over myself.”
"and after?"
"The shopkeeper left cursing with his entourage. In order to thank me for helping him out, Mrs. Teng invited me to have dinner with her. The whole process was very pleasant. However, after the meal, we left the restaurant and went our separate ways. "No." Chi Hong sighed softly, "The fate between people is so wonderful. The next day, I went to see the spring at Jinguang Temple in the west of the city, and met Mrs. Teng worshiping Buddha there again."
"Have you mentioned it to Mrs. Teng about going to see the spring?"
"It seems..." Chi Hong shook his head gently, "I haven't mentioned it because it was a temporary decision. It was raining that day, so I originally thought of staying in the inn, but the innkeeper said that I would go to the spring of Jinguang Temple on rainy days. You'll have good luck."
"Is it so magical?" His Highness Prince Ning looked at Wu Qingruo with curiosity and said, "I have never heard of it from Brother Wang."
"There is such a legend, but we have never gone to see it. We are busy fighting and don't have that spare time." Wu Qingruo reached out and patted his arm, "Don't always interrupt the general's trial. Be honest."
"I know." His Highness Prince Ning nodded obediently and looked at Chi Hong with a smile. "Let's continue. After meeting the lady again, did you express your feelings and feel that we are very destined to do this? friend's?"
"Probably, we all found it very magical." Chi Hong nodded, "After we met, we made sure that the other party had nothing to do next, so we went to a teahouse recommended by Mrs. Teng for tea. We sat in the teahouse one afternoon."
"What did we talk about?"
"We didn't talk too much that time. She knew I was here for fun, so she introduced me to Yancheng and recommended a few interesting places. I have to admit that the places she recommended are all very good. . However, it is a pity that since I met her at Jinguang Temple that time, I never saw her again until I left Yancheng."
"When did they meet again?"
"It was the following summer."
