Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight

As the sun and the moon travel, ten years have passed, and Jing Qi has passed her forty-one year old without knowing it.This year is 1921 in the Western calendar, the tenth year of the Republic of China.Bai Wenshi happens to be a sixty-six-year-old lady of "Liu Liu Da Shun"; Bing Kuan is sixty years old;The biggest change in the Bai family is that Jingqi has a successful career and bought a more elegant new house; and the eunuch Wang Xiguang, who served the Queen Mother in the palace, was taken in by the Bai Wen family after leaving the palace. Became the chief manager of the Bai family. This has become a rumored news in the capital. People think that the old name of the Baicao hall is so dignified that it can let the master who served Lafayette go to Baicao. Home effectiveness.Those who know the root and the bottom think that it is the second grandmother Bai Wen's benevolence and righteousness, who treats those who are kind to the Bai family generously.

The property of the Bai family has been jointly managed by the three brothers of the Bai family, Jing Yi, Jing Shuang, and Zui Qi, and they have become the three heads of Baicao Hall.The leader is naturally Jing Qi.According to the old rules handed down for many years, every spring Jingtian'er, it is necessary to take stock of the treasures of medicinal materials in the fine material warehouse (the same is true for the medicine in general). , the scene was very solemn, no less than offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the ancestral hall——Zhao Wuye, Datouer, Jing Yi, Jing Shuang, and Jing Qi stood in front of the fine material storehouse.On the handle of the warehouse door, there are four large copper locks.

Mr. Zhao Wuye announced: "The three heads of the house are all here. Please open the lock first!" The big head stepped forward, opened the first lock and then exited; Three locks; finally the view chair opens the fourth lock.Four locks go, five people.They go into the fine material warehouse. In the fine material warehouse. There are various boxes, boxes, jars, porcelain vases, porcelain jars on the rows of large shelves, and medicine cabinets, wine jars, wine jars, etc. against the walls. The small wooden signs of the storage date: "Storage on X, X, the eleventh year of Qianlong", "Stored on X, X, and X, the third year of Daoguang".

"Tongzhi sixth year X month X day storage", "Republic of China ten years X month X day storage". Jing Yi, Jing Shuang, and Jing Price supervised Zhao Wuye to take the medicine.The big man sat at the accounting desk and recorded, and shouted while writing: "Four catties of bezoar and three taels of musk - two yuan and four taels of Ming ink, three catties of pawns - three catties of tiger bones in stock One hundred catties of wine--" After weighing the medicine, opening the vat, keeping accounts, and checking a series of procedures, the process of extracting the medicine is considered to be completed.Four large copper locks locked the door of the fine material storehouse.

After Jing Qi locked the last lock and stepped back, five people stood in front of the door.And at this time, Jingyi never forgets a sentence: "Master Zhao Wu, how many materials have been put forward today, and must be completed within three months!" The new house is in the courtyard. Bai Wenshi, Jing Price, Wang Xiguang, Huo Xiang, Bing Kuan, and Jing Ye, the thirteen-year-old girl holding a dog, walked along the corridor to the north room. Bai Wenshi asked as he walked, "Bingkuan, did you come here with Lao Qi?" Bing Kuan: "Master Seven must have an old man watching over his new house, so he brought me here."

Jing Qi: "It's not okay for you to watch the doorman with braids here." Bingkuan: "I don't care, I don't like the world today. It's better when Lafayette and the emperor were back." Bai Wenshi: "The manager Wang has served Lafayette in the palace for half his life, and he's killed. Do you still keep it?" Bing Kuan taunted: "Eunuchs have no conscience." Wang Xiguang stepped forward and grabbed Bingkuan's sleeve: "I'll smack you!" Everyone laughed.Walking to the door of the north house, Huang Chun hurriedly greeted him: "Mom, I'm tidying up the west room, and I'm preparing for you to come and live."

"When I'm happy, come and stay for a few days." After Bai Wenshi finished speaking, he glanced at Jing Qi and asked tentatively, "Where's your aunt, won't you come back?" Jing Qi panicked: "I sent someone to Jinan to pick him up. It should be here in two days." Bai Wen said insincerely: "Okay! You have a family, a business, and a new house. I don't care whoever picks you up." Bai Wenshi walked forward again, and everyone hurriedly followed.Jing Qi said: "Wherever it is, the old lady can take care of it as she pleases, just listen to the mother."

Bai Wenshi suddenly stopped and straightened his face, staring at Jing Qi: "Listen to me?!" Jing Qi hurriedly avoided her gaze in confusion. "If you listen to me back then, if you keep Jiuhong, the child won't have a miscarriage on the train!" The more Bai Wenshi spoke, the angrier he became, Jing Qi hurriedly lowered her head in fright.Everyone suddenly felt tense, and Huang Chun didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Wang Xiguang hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt: "Second old lady, please go to the third hall to have a look, the young master lives in the third hall!"

Jingye stepped forward: "Grandma, go to my house and see, the children are waiting there." Bai Wenshi: "Let's go, take a look!" Everyone surrounded Bai Wenshi and left, only Jing Qi stared at it thoughtfully. Fan Kee Tea House. On the street outside the teahouse, many vegetable carts were parked by the side of the road; Wang Xiguang walked slowly towards the teahouse, and the waiter shouted at the door: "Director Wang, please!" The lobby of the teahouse is full of vegetable sellers, rickshaw pullers... all kinds of coolies. Most of these people eat and drink shirtless; along the wall, most of them sit on benches and sleep against the wall.When Wang Qingguang walked in, some respectable diners greeted him, Wang Xiguang ignored him, just nodded, and walked to the door of the private room, Wu Beile was already standing at the door of the private room, and the two of them entered the private room with a greeting.A strong man was sitting leaning against a single partition, with his head resting on the partition, as if he was sleeping. A big straw hat covered most of his face, so he couldn't see who it was.

In a single room.Wang Xiguang and Guiwu sat opposite each other, with food and wine on the table, neither of them moved their chopsticks.Wang Xiguang didn't intend to eat, and said coldly, "Master Baylor, what's the matter with you? Tell me quickly, I don't have time!" Guiwu: "Eating and chatting!" Wang Xiguang: "No, I have to go now. Master Qi asked me to accompany him to Haidian!" "That's what I'm doing, isn't Jing Qi going to build a garden in Haidian?" "Everything is looking good." "You leave this project to me!"

"What's the matter? You are the father-in-law of the seventh master, you can just talk about it yourself, how can you ask me?" "Brother, you still don't know Jing Qi's temper? He is going to be my father-in-law soon!" "Oh, it's hard to say, everyone knows this is a fat job! How many people are stealing here!" Guiwu hurriedly took out a bank note and handed it to Wang Xiguang: "You are so kind to Jing Qi, it's a small thing!" At this time, the strong man who was sleeping on the partition outside the door moved a little, pulled down his straw hat again, and listened to the conversation in the room. "Master Belle, you are too polite!" "Which one of us is with whom? After the matter is completed, this little money is only a small change!" "I can only say give it a try, don't blame me if it doesn't work!" The strong man with the straw hat sitting motionless... The new residence hall. Jing Qi and Manager Wang turned out from the corridor, and a gardener in the courtyard was pruning a Erdu plum tree. Wang Xiguang said: "Let's entrust Wu Beile with the garden in Haidian, otherwise he will be bored too!" Jing Qi: "That's it, tell him to keep an eye on it, don't be lazy!" Wang Xiguang felt secretly happy, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, I'll tell him!" The two of them passed by the concierge while talking, Jing Qi looked inside, and found that Bingkuan had fallen asleep with his head tilted on the concierge's chair, making intermittent snores, Jing Qi turned around and called the gardener softly: "Hey! Give me the scissors." ." The gardener hurried over and handed the scissors to Jing Qi. "What are you doing?" Wang Xiguang asked, Jing Qi hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to be silent, walked into the gatehouse quietly, crept to behind Bingkuan, gently opened the scissors and gave Bingkuan a hard hinge on Bingkuan's braid... Bing Kuan woke up suddenly, looked back at Jing Qi, and smiled embarrassedly: "Master Qi, I took a nap!" Wang Xiguang and Gardener outside the window opened their mouths wide.Bingkuan in the room got up and turned his face, feeling something was wrong, he quickly reached out to touch the back of his head, and found that the braid was gone, he was shocked: "Huh? My braid?!" "Here you are!" Jing Qi threw the braid on the table Go up, turn around and run out the door. Byung-kwan yelled, "My braid! My braid--" Jing Qi and Wang Xiguang ran out of the gate, and Bing Kuan chased them out with his braids in his hands, crying, "My braids! My braids—I'm not alive!" Street in front of the old house. Jing Qi and Wang Xiguang walked over with triumphant smiles.Wang Xiguang: "Now let him get rid of the roots, Lord Seven, that's you!" Jing Qi smirked: "This is enough for him to cry for days!" Manager Hu and Li Manfu, who were carrying a toolbox, walked out. There were two carriages parked at the door, and Niu Huang and Gou Bao, who were driving the carts, stood beside the carts. It's all done. This boss Li is doing a good job." Jing Yi: "Don't lose him, give me a few more dollars!" Li Manfu hurriedly said in fear: "Give it up!" Manager Hu: "There is a shortage of carpenters in Haidian Garden Repair, let him go!" Jing Qi: "Go and tell Lord Belle that this matter is under his control, just say that I called you." Li Manfu said gratefully, "Thank you, master, you have saved our family." Bai Wenshi, Yuting, and Jiali walked out from the gate.The girl Huaihua supported Bai Wenshi.Jing Qi hurriedly went up to greet her: "Mom!" Bai Wenshi: "Let's go to the theater, will you go?" Jing Qi: "Not today, I have to go to Haidian." Bai Wenshi pulled Sophora japonica: "I have seen Mr. Seven. This is my new girl Sophora japonica." Huaihua shyly said, "Master Seven!" Before he finished speaking, Bingkuan's shout suddenly came: "Second old lady! Second old lady!" Everyone hurriedly looked back.I saw Bing Kuan running towards him with his braids in his hands and a mournful face: "Look at it! Look at it!" Bai Wenshi was surprised: "What's the matter?" Jing Qi still smirked. Bingkuan: "The Seventh Master broke my braid!" Jing Qi: "Hey - you're still here to complain!" "Old Qi, you too, what are you doing braiding his braids in such a decent way! If he wants to keep it, let him keep it!" Bai Wenshi also laughed after finishing speaking. Jing Qi: "That's enough, that's enough, it's not enough to reward you with a few dollars!" Bingkuan said angrily, "I don't want it! I want braids!" Jing Qi: "It's all hinged off, and it won't grow any longer!" Bingkuan suddenly squatted on the ground and cried, "I'm not alive--" Bai Wenshi shouted: "Nonsense! You see so many people who have braids?! They are not alive?!" Bingkuan refused to accept: "This is left by our ancestors!" Bai Wenshi: "Tell you, your ancestors didn't have braids!" Jing Qi: "Mom! Don't bother with him, just go to the show!" Yu Ting: "Brother, I'll count you as bad!" "Bingkuan, when I come back from watching the play, I'll give you a hard beat to vent your anger, Yuting, let's go!" Bai Wenshi said and went down the steps with Yuting to get in the car and left. Bingkuan walked back helplessly with his braids in his hands, crying miserably: "My braids, my braids--" Haidian Garden. A large piece of wasteland, overgrown with weeds and uneven.Jing Qi, Wu Beile, Manager Wang, and the contractor were standing on a small slope looking at the blueprints and wasteland.Jing Qi pointed and ordered: "Bring me the water from the West River, pass here, turn a corner, and install gates at both ends!" The contractor nodded: "Understood, I understand!" Jing Qi: "Just do the work for me, don't save me money! If it's different from my picture, I'll ask you to remove the heavy cover, and I won't give you a lot of money!" Guiwu: "Did you hear that? There's no need to save money for Master Qi, Master Qi has plenty of money!" Wang Xiguang: "Do the job well, don't smear my face!" The contractor: "How many heads do I have? Seventh master builds a garden, how dare I play tricks? I'll type up the total first, and you can take a look at it first." Jing Qi: "Don't call me out, it's all up to Lord Baylor, if you have anything to discuss with Manager Wang!" Wang Xiguang and Guiwu exchanged glances triumphantly. Fan Kee Tea House. The lobby is still full of coolies.The guys yelled at the car owners selling vegetables, eating and drinking, making a mess.Leaning against the partition door of the single room was still the strong man wearing the straw hat, the straw hat was pressed down so low that his face could not be seen. In the single room on the side of the partition.Voubele and the contractor are studying the budget list on the table. Guiwu: "Do you understand? You don't need to save him money!" The contractor: "Understood, why don't I understand! I will pay at least 20% more for this!" Guiwu: "Hey -- you're so blind! You have to at least double your total!" The contractor was taken aback: "Master Belle, this--isn't it evil!" Guiwu: "Hi! How do you know about our grandpa? Ask him how much money he has at home? How much treasure? How much income? He doesn't know at all..." The strong man leaned against the partition and remained motionless, as if he had fallen asleep, but he could not hear a single word of the conversation inside. "He never counts the money! After this garden is built, we will have everything to eat and drink for the rest of our lives!" "But what if..." "It's nothing! Listen to me!" "I listen to you, what's the matter, you have to go around!" "Don't worry! Director Wang has to take care of it, and I don't want the child to be caught by the wolf..." The strong man suddenly stood up and walked out the door, the straw hat covered most of his face! The west wing of the upper courtyard of the new house. Yang Jiuhong's older brother Yang Yizeng, his sister-in-law Chen Yuzhi, the girl Honghua and the servant Xiaofuzi are carrying luggage and packing things into the house.Jing Qi and Yang Jiuhong stood at the door of the inner room and watched.Yang Jiuhong, who is in her thirties, still looks more plump and charming, holding a Persian cat in her hand. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law busy, she said: "Brother, sister-in-law! I don't need you here anymore. You live in the second hall and the north room. Bar!" Jing Qi: "Little Fuzi, go help clean up." Xiao Fuzi: "It's great now. My aunt and grandma will feel at ease when they move in together." Xiao Fuzi, Yang Yizeng, and Chen Yuzhi went out, and Honghua was busy untying the rope on the box. Jing Qi: "Why did you bring your brother and sister-in-law?" Yang Jiuhong: "No?" "It's not forbidden! Didn't you say that you told them to sell you since you were a child?" "It's been twenty years, Chen Guzi is rotten!" "Strange, don't you really hate them?" "It's my natal family who hate it or not!" "I despise this kind of person from the bottom of my heart. What happened to my mother's family?" "If you don't have a mother's family, you will be bullied, I have seen it a long time ago!" "Who bullied you? Who bullied you?!" Jiuhong smiled, turned her face to Honghua and said: "Honghua! Go and see your sisters, I have something to say with Master Qi, don't tell you not to come!" "Yes!" Hong Hua hurried out of the room and closed the door. Jiuhong turned around and threw the cat to the ground, and pushed Jing Qi hard with both hands, Jing Qing suddenly lost her balance and retreated to the back room, Jiuhong then stepped into the back room: "Who do you think bullied me?" She took a step forward and pushed Jing Qi: "Who do you think bullied me?" Jing Qi smiled and stepped back, "You bullied me!" Yang Jiuhong walked forward with a smile, eyes full of provocative lust, and then pushed One: "You are the one who bullied me!" Jing Qi had already retreated to the edge of the bed, Jiu Hong looked at Jing Qi affectionately, her eyes radiated a fiery light... Jing Qi also looked at Jiu Hong impulsively.Jiuhong pushed Jing Qi onto the bed forcefully, and Jing Qi lay down on her back. Jiuhong lay on top of him, almost touching her face: "Say, are you bullying me?" Jing Qi smiled: "Why did you bully you?" The Persian cat jumped onto the bed and meowed. "You have only been to Jinan twice in the past ten years, is there another woman?" "The conscience of heaven and earth! You can inquire and ask!" "No! I'll just ask you!" "I'm too busy to take care of women." "You don't want to?" "Why don't you want to?! Thinking about it makes me so hungry and skinny!" Yang Jiuhong changed her voice: "Grandpa, I miss you so much! It's been three years and one month!" Jing Qi suddenly turned over and pressed Jiu Hong under her body, the two unbuttoned each other's clothes, Jiu Hong gasped for breath, and hurriedly unbuttoned Jing Qi's clothes: "Oh, hurry up, Grandpa, I can't stand it! "... Suddenly, Yang Yizeng's voice came from outside the door: "Master Seven, I have a letter from you!" The two of them were startled, and stopped their movements quickly, remaining motionless. "Master Seven!" The outside was still shouting. Yang Jiuhong hurriedly waved her hands, signaling Jing Qi not to speak, Jing Qi remained helplessly motionless, hoping that Yang Yizeng would think that no one was leaving, but unexpectedly he shouted louder: "Master Qi, your letter!" Ignorantly began to knock on the window. Jing Qi was extremely disappointed: "Ah, here we come!" Yang Jiuhong whispered: "I really know how to pick the time!" "I'll mess with you again tonight!" Jing Qi whispered close to Jiuhong's ear, got out of bed and busily arranged her clothes, Jiuhong turned over and lay down on the bed, giggling... Jing Qi walked out the door, took the letter from Yang Yizeng and asked, "Who sent it?" "I don't know, Bingkuan said he threw it in the doorway." Jing Qi opened the letter to read it, and Yang Jiuhong still couldn't help laughing and walked out: "Brother, if you have a letter in the future, just ask the girls to deliver it, don't run away by yourself." Yang Yizeng: "OK!" Jing Qi frowned while reading the letter, and cursed: "What?!" Jiu Hong hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong, who is here?" Jing Qi didn't pay any attention, and strode towards the upper room in the north room, calling out as she walked, "Come on! Call me Wang Xiguang!" The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan. Huang Chun walked out from Donglijian, handed the cigarette pouch to Jing Qi, and then lit the cigarette for him. Wang Xiguang hurried into the house and stood in front of Jing Qi: "Master Seven, are you looking for me?" Jing Qi pointed to the letter on the table: "Look for yourself!" Wang Xiguang picked up the letter and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly took a peek at Jing Qi. Jing Qi lowered her head and smoked, her face expressionless. Wang Xiguang looked at Jing Qi carefully: "This matter... is it true or not? I can... I don't know at all! " "I don't know? You are still written in the letter!" "Yes! But Lord Belle wouldn't be like this, would he?" "He can't change his faults, and he wants to blackmail my money before he starts work!" "No way?! Could the person who wrote this letter be..." "When and where the letter was written, it's all there, how can it be fake?!" "Yes, no wonder he knows so well! Who is this?" "It doesn't matter who it is! I doubled the project funds! If you want to be black, it's not so black!" Wang Xiguang seemed extremely obedient: "Yes, that's too outrageous!" "I don't count the money, but I can't throw the money into the water!" "Yes, I have to talk to him!" Jing Qi said sharply: "It's written on the letter! Did you take the money?!" Wang Xiguang acted accordingly: "Take it! I took one hundred taels! Seventh master, I don't need to hide it from you. With this one hundred taels, I paid for the money I owed for making clothes for the girls last year. I can be that black-hearted something?!" Jing Qi slammed the cigarette pouch on the copper spittoon, "Dangdang" and threw it on the table casually: "Forget it! Find someone else for the garden project! Tell Master Baylor to rest!" Wang Xiguang: "Yes, I will do it now!" Single room in Fanji Teahouse. Wang Xiguang and Wu Belle looked at each other with frustrated and bewildered expressions. Wang Xiguang: "Who did you tell about this?" Guiwu: "Who am I going to tell, I'm going to cut off my sons and grandchildren, I'm going to die!" "I don't believe what you say! You must be burning buns! You're going to get rich and go around the world!" "You look down on me too much. When I was doing something bad, you were still doing somersaults in the palace! What did I do that didn't have an ass hole?" "Then how did the news get out?" "It's an evil door, let alone the head contractor! Did I say that this matter has not been slowed down?" "Don't even think about this job, Mr. Seven has such a temper that he almost let me in, what's the matter?" "The one hundred taels of silver?..." "The one hundred taels of silver is still asking for it back?! I ran back and forth for you, and I shouldn't have spent some of it on you!" "Well! I think it's bad luck, but we must find out who wrote this letter!" "Got to check, it's so fucking disgusting!" "Who is this who stabbed me to death?" The lobby was full of coolies.The guys are drinking, eating, drinking, playing chess, and sleeping.Outside the partition of the single room, there was still a strong man sitting with a straw hat on his face, as if he was sleeping. The hall meeting in the compound of the medicine shop hall. On the stage, the performance of "Hong Ni Guan" gradually reached its climax, and Wan Xiaoju's Dongfang Shi, who was playing the role of Dongfang, was fighting with Wang Bodang. Yu Ting sat at the table closest to the stage, holding a jewelry box in her hand. Wan Xiaoju raised her gun and appeared, and the audience cheered. "Okay! Wan Xiaoju!" Yuting yelled, grabbed the gold ring and bracelet from the jewelry box and threw them on the stage, her excitement beyond words. Bai Wenshi sat in the middle seat with several guests to watch the play. When Wan Xiaoju turned around and made her debut, the guests applauded, and Bai Wenshi also applauded.A guest beside him glanced at Wu Ting and asked Bai Wenshi, "Why hasn't Yu Ting left the pavilion yet?" Bai Wenshi: "From the age of sixteen, all the people who proposed marriage broke through the threshold, and she looked down on none of them, which became my heart disease." Guest: "What is she looking for?" Bai Wenshi: "God knows! This is an old girl, and I don't bother to care about her anymore." Guest: "Where can it be? You still worry about a girl who can't get married in this house?" Bai Wenshi sighed: "Alas! It's already past the age of marriage, almost thirty." Another guest leaned forward: "If the second old lady is trustworthy, I will be a matchmaker." Bai Wenshi: "Oh, don't mention this matter! If you mention marriage, you will kill her. It's a mess, who knows what to think!" On stage, Dongfang Shi, played by Wan Xiaoju, bit off the hydrangea on Wang Bodang's chest to show off. Wu Ting shouted wildly: "Okay! Wan Xiaoju! Wan Xiaoju!" Throwing the entire jewelry box onto the stage excitedly. Bai Wenshi: "Reward!" The third old lady Yingyu: "Reward!" Jing Qi: "Reward!" Uncle Wang left the stage, and the inspector came to the stage to pick up jewelry, but Yu Ting was still shouting, "Wan Xiaoju!" On the stage, the old Dan in red official clothes and the old student without beard came out to thank them.The number of silver rewards for everyone is written on the gold list. The west wing of the upper courtyard of the new house. Yang Jiuhong sat alone, and there was a faint applause from the kitchen yard.There was a Guqin on the table, and Jiuhong sat in front of the table, casually strumming the strings, and sighed deeply. The girl Honghua walked into the house carrying an oil plate with food on it, and put it on the table in the main room: "Grandma, let's eat!" Yang Jiuhong looked at Qin: "Put it there!" Honghua walked up to Yang Jiuhong: "Grandma, eat it while it's hot. Master Qi asked Chef Feng to make it for you." Yang Jiuhong lowered her head: "I'm not hungry!" He plucked the strings and made a "ding step" sound. Honghua: "I think my aunt still wants to open a little bit. They have already moved here. How many days can the second old lady come here a year?" Yang Jiuhong suddenly raised her head to look at the red flower: "You said... is Master Seven treating me well?" Honghua: "That's needless to say, you. Still don't understand in your heart?" Yang Jiuhong lowered his head again: "Hmph, I'm confused! Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are good, but once he reaches the place of foolishness, this person becomes without right and wrong, but sometimes loyalty and filial piety can't be both! What should I say? When a woman loses her integrity, all loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are gone, don't you think? ...Let's go back to Jinan! " "You want to leave after you've just been here for a few days? Master Qi won't agree!" Just as Hong Hua finished speaking, several men's voices came from outside the door, and the two of them looked out.I saw a few workers in the yard pulling the wires and walking towards the upper room, followed by the steward. Yang Jiuhong asked, "What are you doing?" Honghua: "Just now the manager said, I'll install the phone today." Yang Jiuhong stood up: "Let's take a look!" Church backstage. Wan Xiaoju was taking off her make-up, while Yu Ting sat aside to help. Yu Ting said affectionately, "Did you hear me say hello?" Wan Xiaoju: "I still can't hear you! Counting to you is close! Counting to the seventh master screams loudly. Jin Shaoshan said it well, as long as you hear the applause, the front and back will know that the seventh master is coming." Yu Ting was surprised: "Really?!" Wan Xiaoju: "Dare to love! He's good at calling, and it's all on the root, that's called an expert!" Yuting suddenly leaned over to Wan Boju's ear and whispered something, Wan Xiaoju raised her head in surprise: "Really?" Yu Ting: "Remove makeup quickly, come with me, I'll tell you to take a look!" The hall meeting in the compound of the medicine shop hall. The gongs were played and the gongs were withdrawn, the small gongs came on stage, and the clown in "Seeking a Doctor" appeared. Wang Xiguang walked up to Jing Qi and whispered something, Jing Fu frowned: "Call her back!" "Yes!" Wang Xiguang turned to leave, but was stopped by Jing Qi again: "I'll go by myself!" The new house is in the courtyard. Jing Qi turned around the hanging flower door and entered the aisle, just before the screen door went up the steps, she bumped into Wan Xiaoju turning around from the porch, going out of the screen door to go down the steps in embarrassment, the two met each other and stopped.Jing Qi looked at Wan Xiaoju strangely. Wan Xiaoju looked at Jing Qi in panic for a moment, and Jing Qi asked, "What's wrong, Boss Wan?" Wan Xiaoju's sweat came down: "Master Qi, it's nothing, I really dare not be, dare not be!" Jing Qi was puzzled: "Don't dare to be, why don't you dare to be?" Wan Xiaoju rubbed her hands: "Ashamed! Ashamed!" "Is it Yuting?..." Jing Qi said half a sentence. "Offended! Offended!" Wan Xiaoju ran down the steps in embarrassment, and Jing Qi watched him turn through the Chuihua Gate suspiciously.Turning around, she walked into the screen door, turned to the east corridor, and saw Yuting holding a flower frame in her hand, standing at the door of the east wing, staring at this side in a daze. Seeing Jing Qi approaching, Yu Ting turned around and entered the East Wing, Jing Qi immediately followed through the door. Yuting sat on the chair, lowered her head and played with the flower frame in her hand.Jing Qi walked to her side slowly: "You guys, what are you doing?" Yu Ting: "Nothing!" "Why did he run away?" "Scary!" "What are you scaring him for?" Yu Ting stood up: "Oh, I'm almost thirty, don't worry about it, go to the theater!" Yu Ting threw the flower frame on the chair, turned around and walked out the door, but was stopped by Jing Qi: "Wait!" Yu Ting stopped, looking away. Jing Qi: "I've already seen it!" Yuting turned her head to look at Jing Qi: "I can see that you still ask!" Jing Qi: "It doesn't matter if you like Wan Xiaoju, you can't take it seriously, just listen to the show and throw some gold and silver, what else do you want?!" Yu Ting said unequivocally, "I want to marry him!" Jing Qi said sharply: "Nonsense! People have wives and concubines, sons and daughters, what do you think?" "I admit to being his girl!" "He's an actor!" "What's wrong with the actor?!" "Do you think Mom can agree to this marriage?" "Then why did you marry a kiln sister?!" Jing Qi was stunned and ran out of words. Yu Ting refused to give an inch: "What? You have no words! I admire Yang Jiuhong, no man can compare to her!" Jing Qi was anxious: "What exactly do you want to do?!" Yu Ting: "I also learn from Yang Jiuhong. Tomorrow, I'll take a mat and sit in front of Wan Xiaoju's house for three days and three nights." Jing Qi looked at Yu Ting full of bewilderment. Yu Ting looked at Jing Qi: "Don't believe me? I can do anything! Do you like Yang Jiuhong? But you never dare to say you like her in front of your mother.I don't, wait and see if you don't believe me! " Jing Qi said sadly: "Jiu Hong has already regretted it, don't ruin yourself!" "I'm willing, and I'll tell you, I'm almost 30 and haven't left the cabinet, and I'm waiting for him!" Yuting picked up the flower frame and sat back on the chair to start embroidering.On the flower frame is a blooming chrysanthemum that has not yet been embroidered. The hall meeting in the compound of the medicine shop hall. "Please Doctor" is being sung on the stage. Old Huang: "There is nowhere to buy the medicine you mentioned!" Master Liu: "Why don't you have a place to buy it? Go to the old Baijia of Baicao Hall in the capital!" The audience laughed and applauded loudly! Bai Wenshi laughed loudly: "Thank you!"

"Let's go, there is a pail ready in the west room of the upper room!" Huang Chun stood up and led the way, Huaihua supported Bai Wenshi to leave.

Is she your mother?" Jiali said fiercely as if she had met an enemy: "No! I don't have a mother!" Jiuhong suddenly raised her eyes, looking at Jiali in horror and bewilderment.

Jing Qi!" Jing Qi was startled, and looked at his mother pitifully. Bai Wenshi stared sternly: "Huh?!" Jing Qi walked up to Jiuhong with difficulty, and stood in pain opposite Jiuhong.No one dared to move or persuade, and everyone watched nervously. Jiuhong stared at Jing Qi fiercely and sharply; Jing Qi stared at Jiuhong blankly, bewildered and at a loss.He couldn't lift his hands.

Listen to the play go!" "You didn't see it! It's out of order!..." Bai Wenshi suddenly found that Yingyu was wearing a water suit in a costume, with makeup on his face, and he couldn't help laughing, "Why did you come here with such a virtue?" Everyone Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly eased. Yingyu said: "It's time for me to sing "Battle of Peace" next time.

" Yingyu couldn't help saying, and pulled Bai Wenshi away, Huang Chun, Wang Xiguang, and Mr. Hu hurriedly followed suit, pushing Bai Wenshi to "drive", Bai Wenshi shook Yingyu's hand with a smile: "Where are you taking me? ! I want to unwind!" Yingyu also laughed: "Ouch! This is a big deal, don't delay, don't turn around and pee your pants!" Everyone laughed again, and Bai Wenshi slapped Eyu's shoulder with a smile: "Third brother, you're making fun of me being poor again, aren't you? You're not serious!" Yingyu yelled: "Hurry up and help the old lady in, she's really waiting to piss her pants! I'm going to put on a show!"
